"DCP Sir ne bulaya hai Bandana, urgent hai" Shahveer said. Bandana nodded and they left for DCP Kelkar's office.

"Jai Hind Sir!" Both saluted him. He signed them to sit. "Naya case aaya hai" He said and looked at Bandana's plastered elbow.

"Yeh plaster kab jaega?" He asked. "Sir kucch din aur, fir utar jaega" She replied. He nodded.

"Case kya hai Sir?" Shahveer asked. "Right, case. Ek ladki hai, Himani Chaudhary, woh gayab hai" He said. "Par Sir yeh to police case hai. Ladki kidnap hui hai, ham isme kya kar sakte hai?" Bandana asked.

DCP Kelkar gave her a file. "Uske bareme poori information iss file me hai. Yeh case pehle police ke paas hi tha, par kaafi investigation karne ke baad bhi kucch saamne nhi aaya" He said.

"Haan to yeh case CID ko de dete, ham to terrorism, smuggling ya murder ke cases lete hai" Shahveer said. "Iss ladki ka jo bhai hai, usne abhi kaha ke usse shakk hai ke jin logo ne Himani ko kidnap kia woh smugglers hai" DCP Kelkar said.

"Usko kese pta?" Bandana asked. "Himani ne kucch baat ki thi usse, kaha tha ke usko kucch pta chala hai smuggling ke bareme. Uske baad woh gayab ho geyi" He said. Bandana nodded.

"Okay Sir, ham tayaar hai" Bandana said. "Great! Baaki files me pohoncha dunga" He said. They stood up to leave.

"Sir" Bandana said as she turned, "yeh case me apne tareeke se solve krungi, kisi bahar ke officer ki taak-jhaak mujhe psand nhi" She said. He smiled and nodded. They left.

"Case ki files aa geyi, aur mene study kar li hai, tum bhi dekhlo ek baar" Shahveer said placing few files on Bandana's desk.

"Kya pta chala?" She asked. "Himani third year student hai Jai Hind College me. Journalism and criminology parh rhi thi" He said.

"Jai Hind College...kahi suna hai. Kon parhta hai...oh haan" Bandana said as she remembered Aarushi.

"Aur kucch?" She asked. "Koi boyfriend tha uska shayad uss college me, par yeh khabar abhi pakki nhi hai" He said, she looked at him, "ese chakkaro ke bareme to badi jaldi pta laga lete ho?" She asked.

"Ab kya kru, adaat se majboor jo hu" He said with a smirk, "sab adate theek kar dungi me" She said and looked at the page she was reading.

"Aur haan, uska bhai, uske saath boht accha rishta tha Himani ka" He said. "Kya karta hai bhai?" She asked. "Actor hai" He replied. She smiled, "waah" She said.

"Tumhe actors psand hai? Me boht acchi acting karta hu vese" He said, she made a poker face. "Jao jaake signal pe thodi nautanki kro fir, shayad thoda chanda jama ho jae" She said. He made a poker face.

"Ek kaam kro, uske bhai ko bulao sabse pehle" She said. He nodded and left.

Jai Hind College...
Sumedh was sitting in the canteen with Aarushi and some other students. They were laughing on random jokes.

Suddenly a guy came and signalled Sumedh to go with him.

Sumedh followed him. "Kya hua?" Sumedh asked. "Himani gayab hai" The guy said. Sumedh was shocked. He ran his hand through his hair. "Esa kese...kese ho sakta hai?" He asked shocked.

"Priyank ne btaya" The guy said. "Mujhe kyu nhi btaya usne?" Sumedh asked. "Pta nhi. Abhi uska phone aaya" The guy said.

"Mujhe Priyank se milna hoga" He said and was about to leave when Aarushi came. "Kaha jaa rahe ho?" She asked, "khana to khatam karo" She said.

"Aarushi, abhi time nhi hai. Mujhe kahi jaana hai, khana baadme kha lunga" He said. "Baadme? No. Abhi khao, chalo" She said holding his wrist.

"Stop behaving like my girlfriend yaar! Nhi khana mujhe!!" He said angrily and left.
