Aaksh enters Ishqi's flat to find Ahaan sitting on a sofa deeply immersed in his own thoughts while Ishqi was in kitchen preparing chai for Ahaan. With Akash knocking the already open door, Ahaan comes back to reality and welcomes him.
"Hey Aakash! How are you?" Ahaan asked being surprised.
"Main toh theek hun Bhai. Lekin Teri shakal ki band baji hui hai. Abhi main aa gaya hun toh fikar not. I'm here to help you guys out", Akash assured.
"Ofcourse yaar. Ruk main tujhe Teri hi bahen se intro karvata hun", Ahaan cracked makin Akash giggle.
"Huh, unfortunately vo toh abhi zaroori hai", Akash said rubbing his palms.
"Ishqi, jaldi aao", Ahaan called her as she was in kitchen.
"Aa rhi hun AVM. Thoda patience rakhiye. Chaar baar chilla chuke hain. Aapko na....", Ishqi walks to the drawing room with a tray in her hand with two cups of chai.
She sees Aakash along with Ahaan and stops her rant and walks to them. She brings the tray and gives Ahaan a cup of tea and gives Aakash a cup. They sit there with a cup of tea and she stands with an empty tray in hand.
"Ishqi vo", Ahaan begins.
"Nahi nahi.... Shakkar hi daala hai. Pichli baar mera dhyaan chai pe nahi tha toh maine namak daal di thi", Ishqi explains.
"Arey nahi nahi", Ahaan begins again.
"Arey vaah! Jab maine ek baar chai banayi thi, tab maine bhi namak daal di thi. Usse peekar sabne mujhe gaaliyan di thi", Akash had a haughty laugh.
"Haina? Inhone bhi di hogi mujhe gaaliyan. Varna chai mein namak dalne par koi aakar haath ko thodi chumta hai" Ishqi defended giggling.
"Kya language hai yeh", an irritated Ahaan asked.
"Aapko meri language se....", Ishqi pointed her finger at him.
"Mujhe koi mirchi virchi nahi lag rhi hai. Main iss bare mein...", Ahaan completed.
"Guys, stop it please", Akash said as he finished his cup of tea and kept the cup on the table in the front.
"Theek hai! Ab mudde pe aaye?" Ahaan asked as he finished his tea.
"Haan haan. Maasi ke baare mein bhi toh pata karna hai", Akash says.
"Usse pehle tum dono ka intro karana hai",Ahaan said as they all stood up.
"Ji. Maine bhi aapko nahi pehchana. Yeh vo vaale commissioner hai kya jiski aap baat kar rahe the? Lekin inhone uniform pehna nahi hai", Ishqi asked Ahaan.
"Main architect hun na ki commissioner, sabse pehle toh. Aur tum pehchanogi bhi kaise bahena, pehli baar jo mil rahe hain", Akash says as he came near her and cupped her cheeks.
"Matlab aap Aakash bhai hain? Chachi ne bola tha ki vo aapko bhejengi", Ishqi says as her eyes shined a smile crept on her serene face.
"Tum Aakash ko jaanti ho?" Ahaan asked surprisingly.
"Nahi. Vo Chachi ji ne bataya tha... Vo toh photo bhi dikhane waali thi, Par main sabse aapas mein milkar hi unhe jaanna chahti thi!" Ishqi smiledso did they both.
"Sahi kaha Ishu! Sabse aapas mein milogi na, Toh hi hame acche se samaj paogi." Akash said patting on her shoulder.
"Ishu?" Ahaan asked Akash.
"Sabka ghar ka naam hota haina. Bachpan se sunta aa raha hun, ghar mein sab isse yahi bulate hain. Aur khaas kar bade maamu. Bahut pyaar karte hain isse. Kabhi heera, sona, moti (pearl), pyaari, radha gin bhi nahi sakte kitne naamon se pukarte hain isse har roz. Iske bachpan ke tasveer se har roz baat karte hain, tab na unka extra soft side bhar aata hai. Prachi na ziddi hai bahut. Uspar bhi itna pyaar lutate hain. Almost hafte mein 3 baar vo toh unke haath se hi khana khaati hai. Jab se unki yaadash vapas aayi hai, tab se suna hai unhe kehte hue, betiyon ko palkon par bithana chahiye. Inn dono ko chodo, meri girlfriend jab ghar aati hai, tab uske liye cookies banate hain kyunki usse vo pasand hai. He will definitely be one of the great father and father in law for sure", Akash says smiling but this confession makes Ishqi emotional while Ahaan holds her her shoulder and asks her to smile.
"Prachi.... Meri choti bahen haina?" Ishqi asks with tear filled eyes.
"Haan. Aur main tum dono ka bada bhai." Akash gives her a side hug and she reciprocates it while Ahaan stands there adoring the duo.
"Tum bilkul tension na lo Ishu. Main hun na!! Hum dono bhai bahen milkar hamari Maasi ko dhundhenge. Unko kuch nahi hone denge", Akash assures wiping the tears that had rolled down her eyes to cheeks.
"Thank you! Aap sab mera itna saath...", Ishqi says holding his palms.
"Thaat pagli. Family hoti hi isiliye hai ki apnon ke mushkil mein kaam aaye. Tumhara maasi par jitna haq hain hamara bhi toh utna hi hua na? Aur toh aur unhone hamare ghar ki iss heere ko itne saalon tak sambhal kar rakha hai. Aur usse independent banaya hai. Tumhe pata hai tumhare baare mein padhkar sab kitna khush the ghar pe. Jahan aam families roti iss baat pe ki unki beti ki shaadi tut gayi, hamari family ne celebrate kiya ki unki beti ko sahi aur galat ki parak karna aata hai aur vo apne liye stand le sakti hai", Akash says with pride visible in his eyes.
"Sabko garv hai mujhpe", Ishqi asks curiously wanting to know more about her on family.
"Haan. Sabko hai. Abhi Maasi ko dhundhe? Pata nahi vo kaisi hogi", Akash said and all the three sat down to look at the footages.
Ahaan sat there looking at her increasing proximity to her family which just increased her hope and happiness. He understood that all she ever needed in her life was love which she was deprived of. He promised himself to love her more than all the members of the Khurana house only for her to be with him happily after marriage. he himself blushed at his thoughts while the brother sister duo were busy in their conversartion.
"Saare apne mil rahe hain, par ek paraya insaan sabse apna lag raha hai!! Saath de raha hai!! Shayad isiliye mere chehre se muskurahat jaane ka naam nahi le rhi hai aur dimaag aaj jitna shaant hai, shayad aaj tak nahi tha!! ," she thought as she glanced at him blushing.
Akash had the video clips that police had given him, which was collected from the apartment authority. He played the first clip in which Maasi entered the home at first and then after half hour, Maasa ji had come and returned with her purse in not more than 20 minutes. Looking at maasa snatching money and leaving, Ishqi was enraged and fisted her hands. Ahaan immediately held the fit and nodded in a no. She controlled herself lookin at Ahaan otherwise the screen of laptop would need a replacement now. This moment didn't go unnoticed by Akash and just smiled. After Maasa, none entered the house until Ahaan, Ishqi and Sudha. So now, Akash played the second clip looking at which the police had concluded this as a kidnap case. After an hour or so of Maasa leaving, a car was parked near the window of Maasi's room. Two boys completely dressed in black, covering their faces got down and placed a ladder to the window. While climbing, they sprayed something into a handkerchief. The video was paused to check if they could be recognised but in vain.
"AVM, Dekha? Yeh log Maasi ko kuch sunghane waale hai taaki vo behosh ho jaaye", Ishqi exclaimed pointing her index finger at the screen.
"Ishqi relax. Yeh movie nahi hai. Chloroform sunghane ke 10 se 12 minite baad hi insaan behosh hota hai. Aur itne se chloroform se kuch nahi hone waala", Ahaan stated.
"AVM, Maasi ko chot lagi thi na, Toh unhe behosh karna aasan hoga na", Ishqi says with suspesion.
"Ishqi, agar Maasi behosh hui bhi hai toh vo in logon ko pata kaise chalega? Vo Maasa ji ko thodi na jaante honge. Mujhe nahi lagta hai ki unhone ne Maasa ji ko plant kiya tha", Ahaan says deeply looking at the boys on the screen as if he were trying to recognize them.
"Maasa ji kya koi gulaab ka poudha hai jo unhe plant karenge?" Ishqi murmers making the two giggle.
"Stop. Please chup ho jaao dono. Ishqi, plant karna matlab, un logon ne Maasa ji ko thodi na kaha hoga ki jaakar maarke aajao. Aur haan, I think Ahaan is right. Chloroform sunghane se koi jaldi behosh nahi hota hai. So I guess yeh professional kidnappers nahi hai", Akash stated.
"I agree", Ahaan said not taking his eyes off from screen.
"Jo bhi hai, Aage chalayiye", Ishqi was irritated.
They resumed the video. The boys enter the room and now the view isn't captured in camera. They couldn't see what has happened inside. Within 5 minutes, both of them bring Maasi to the window pane and makes her sit there. Maasi was out of her senses. One of the boys ties the dupatta she was wearing to her head to stop the blood flow while the other got down. Maasi was slid down until the other caught hold of her legs. Then slowly, he pulled her down and the other one also got down. Now, they knew that why the blood droplets were only till the window.
"Kya chalu cheez hain yeh log..Maasi ko aate ki bori ki tarah utha rahe hain. Yeh bhi nahi ki insaan hai chot lagi hai, pyaar se le jaaye", Ishqi twisted her nose.
"Vo shaadi ke liye dulhan ko nahi bhaga rhe hain. Kidnap kar rhe hain Ishqi", Ahaan said yet trying to focus on the screen.
"Shaadi ke liye dulhan ko kaise bhagate hain, iska idea aapko kaise hai? Aap bade experience se bol rhe hain lagta hai", Ishqi taunted.
"Haa. Experience aa gaya. Ek ladki ne na, do buzurgon ko baghakar shaadi karvayi thi. Aur maine un teenon ko lift di thi. Jab maine yeh bhagna and all, iske khilaf bola, toh vo ladki meri gaadi churakar bhaag gayi.Toh bahut experience mil gaya", Ahaan snaped back.
"Phir se churaya? Gadi borrow ki thi maine", Ishqi pouted.
"Ek second. Tumne do buzurgon ki bhagakar shaadi karvayi thi", Akash asked in amusement.
"Aap inke baaton pe dhyaan mat dijiye. Concentrate kijiye. Maasi ko laana hai. In kaminon ne jaise Maasi ko kheencha haina, mummy kasam, Main un logon ko upar se dhakel dungi. Ek baar mile toh sahi. Unki naani yaad na dilayi toh" Ishqi angrily stated.
"Shant ho jaao. Aisa na ho ki pehle Maasi ko dhundhne police station ke chakkar kaatein aur phir tumhe chudvane ke liye", Ahaan teased.
"Right. I think hame yeh nahi sochna hai ki vo mil jaye toh hum unke sath kya karenge. Yeh sochna hai ki unhe dhundhe toh kaise dhundhe", Akash says closing the laptop.
"Sahi hai. Ab Maasi ko dhundhe kidhar? Ek minute. Hame register check karna tha na,
toh chaliye", Ishqi urges.
"Tum log chalo. Main abhi aata hun", Ahaan says and goes inside while Akash and Ishqi go down to the security panel.
They go to the security office and finds the car details!! The name of the visitor was Pintu. It was written that they had to visit the neighboring block. They rushed to the flat. They found nothing. The flat was empty since a month and they returned with upset faces. When they had a new lead, somehow they were losing it at the end.
