As Haya tried calling Zaviyar, Kabir drove them back to Raghav's apartment. He kept throwing worried glances at her as she tried redialing Zaviyar's number.

After a tense wait, Zaviyar finally picked up the phone.

Haya quickly told him what happened and about the strange call she got, "I can't let anything happen to him Zavi...not because of me, I don't know who it is, I don't-"

"Nothing will happen to him." He promised, "You said you received the call from Raghav's number?" He asked.

"Yes."

"If you receive any text or call, keep me updated, I'll be there with you in a while," he said before hanging up.

While they reached back to the apartment, Kabir informed Samar about the whole situation.

While they waited for Zaviyar and Samar, Kabir stayed watchful, she seemed to have drifted off in a whole different zone. Snowball had been moving around her in circles ever since she sat down but she couldn't look at him.

"What am I gonna tell Adi?" She asked to herself, "He's going to hate me."

"Raghav will be back home before Adi even knows, the team is already tracking his location. I'm sure we'll get something from the authorities soon." Kabir reassured her, taking a seat beside her.

Haya nodded, trying to steady her breathing as she leaned against the sofa, her mind swirling with worry.

She couldn't shake off the guilt that gnawed at her, blaming herself for dragging Raghav into her mess.

If something was to happen then it should've been her, he had nothing to do with her past deeds yet he was the one suffering and she was once again, doing nothing.

If she didn't call him whining about shopping, he would still be at the office.

"I should have been more careful," she muttered, her voice laced with regret.

Kabir placed a hand on her shoulder, offering her a reassuring squeeze. "You couldn't have known, Haya, stop blaming yourself...we are going to find him, okay?"

Just then, the doorbell rang, letting them know about the arrival of either Zaviyar or Samar.

Haya's heart raced with hope as she rushed to open the door, ready to grasp any information that could lead her to Raghav.

Her eyes darted between Samar and Zaviyar as Samar walked up to them in a hurry.

"What happened?" Samar asked, "What the hell were you doing?" He snapped.

"Doing my job. Protecting Haya." Kabir reminded him, "If I'd known I was supposed to look after Raghav too, I would have."

"This is not the time for doing this." Zaviyar said, walking inside, "Tell me everything now," He said to Haya, "Any calls or texts after that?"

"Nothing." She shook her head.

"We need to act fast," Samar said, his voice firm with determination, "I'll coordinate with the authorities and see if we can track Raghav's phone or gather any other leads. Zaviyar, I'll need your help in gathering any evidence or information that might help us identify who's behind this."
