Negi Nivaas...
Sameeksha looked towards Rohit angrily. "Iska matlab yeh nhi ke tum ghar ke bahar chumma chaati shuru kardo!" She said standing up. He looked at her. He took a bite of his roti and stood up.

He walked towards her and held her wrist. They looked towards each other. He pulled her and she landed on his chest. "Ghar ke bahar psand nhi to ghar ke andar kar leta hu...woh bhi apni biwi ke saath, kru?" He asked in a low voice.

She lowered her lashes. "Kucch bhi bakwaas karte ho tum...kucch bhi" She said without looking at him. He chuckled and left her.

"Chalo khana khatam karo jaldi, neend aa rhi hai mujhe. Saathme chalte hai...bedroom me" He said with a smirk plastered on his face. She blushed. "Kya ho gaya hai tumhe? Theek to ho na?" She asked while finishing her food.

"Just kidding...par neend aa rahi hai sachme, boht thaka hua hu" He said making a puppy face. "Ho gaya, chalo" She said and stood up.

Mumbai Headquarters...
Bandana went to Sameeksha's desk and put a laptop on it. "Arey waah, naya laptop? Mere lie??" Sameeksha asked. Bandana made a poker face.

"Himani ka hai, isko check kar" Bandana said sitting on Sameeksha's desk. "Nalli" Sameeksha said and switched on the laptop.

"Password maang raha" Sameeksha said. "Pta hai" Bandana replied. "Me forensic doctor hu, jaadugar nhi" Sameeksha said. "Password reset kar lallu" Bandana said. "Pehle sorry bol" Sameeksha said.

"What for?" Bandana asked sweetly. "Lallu bulaya mujhe" Sameeksha said. Bandana rolled her eyes and apologized. Sameeksha smiled.

"Aaj ke aaj kar dio" Bandana said after some minutes. "Le tu karle" Sameeksha said. Bandana shook her head.

Finally, after sometime Sameeksha did it. "Thank you bol ab" She said. "Phfff!! Nikal yaha se!" Bandana said. "Koi na, dekh lungi" Sameeksha said, Bandana ignored her.

Bandana called Shahveer and they checked the laptop.

"Vese Himani ke call records check kie?" Sameeksha asked. Bandana hummed. "Kucch pta nhi chala unse. Jis din gayab hui, uss din phone ghar pe hi chod dia, to location nhi mili koi" Bandana said.

"Iss audio file ki boht saari copies hai" Shahveer said, "play karo" Bandana said. He played it.

"Arey jaldi kro! Koi aa gaya to masla ho jaega!! [...] Arey sambhalke! Ek dabbe me laakho ka maal hai. [...] Eehh! Koi hai vaha? Kon hai? Ruko!! Pakdo usse!!!"  The audio said.

"Yeh Himani ne record kia hoga. Un smugglers ke khilaaf" Bandana said. "Par isse kucch pta to chala hi nhi. Kisika naam nhi lia gaya, time, date, location...kucch nhi pta" Shahveer said.

"Hame ek hi-tech forensic lab chahiye" Bandana said. "Me ek ese forensic scientist ko jaanti hu jo tumhari help kar sake" Sameeksha said, Bandana looked at her with eyes full of hope.

"Par usske lie..." Sameeksha said and Bandana interrupted her, "sorry sorry sorry" Bandana said. Sameeksha and Shahveer chuckled.

"Iss audio me logo ki aawaz ke ilava jo awaaz hai, woh sunaiye" Bandana asked the technician. He nodded. "Abhi bhi clear nhi hai" Shahveer said. "Thoda aur clear kijie please" Bandana asked. He followed what she said.

Bandana and Shahveer looked at each other. "Namaaz?" Bandana asked. "Haan! Shaam ki namaaz hai yeh to!" Shahveer said. The sound was very low.

"Yeh to ghantio ki awaaz hai" Shahveer said confusingly. It was a clear sound of temple bells. "Mandir ki ghantia? Woh bhi itni zor se" Bandana said.

The audio finished. They listened to it a few times but these were the only clues that they got.

"Konsi jagah ho sakti hai...namaaz bhi hai, mandir ki ghantia bhi. Hogi to Maharashtra me hi" Bandana said. "Maharashtra me kaha!!!" Shahveer said holding his head.

"Namaaz...matlab dargah...ghantia matlab mandir...shaam ki namaaz aur shaam ki aarti..." Bandana repeated. "Haji Ali? Aur..." Bandana said, "Mahalakshmi?" Shahveer asked.

"Yes!!!" Bandana said loudly. "Haji Ali Dargah aur Shree Mahalakshmi Temple!" Shahveer said.

"Lekin itni busy jagah hai woh to...upar se Mumbai me, waha crime kese ho sakta hai?" Shahveer asked. "Ho sakta hai kisi band jagah me ho" Bandana said.

"Ese to kahi bhi ho sakta hai...ham kaha kaha dekhenge?" He asked. "Baat to tumhari bhi sahi hai" She said, "Himani ke ghar chalte hai...shayad waha kucch mil jae" She said. He nodded.
