We came from the bureau and had a peaceful dinner before going to bed. Yuvaan seemed carefree, like there was something else on his mind.
While I was setting up the bed, Yuvaan cleared his throat, but I ignored him. It was tit for tat since he had ignored me many times before.
He cleared his throat again, and this time I turned and sarcastically said
"itni teeki zuban ka kya fayda jab aap se bola hi na jaaye," while crossing my arms. He just stood there, scratching his neck.
(What's the point of having such a sharp tongue if I can't even talk to you?)
"Ab boliye kuch , awaz gale me Beth gyi kya " I said playfully.
(Now say something, has your voice gotten stuck in your throat?)
"I want to say something....woh actually....dadu aur Aryan aa rhe hai abroad se aur next week dadu aur dadi anniversary hai so kya tum meri shopping me help krogi.?" he said, closing his eyes as if he were a child seeking chocolate from his mother.
(I want to say something... well, actually... Grandpa and Aryan are coming from abroad, and next week is Grandpa and Grandma's anniversary. So, will you help me with my shopping?)
I burst into laughter on his way of asking, he does get nervous easily am I looking like a witch, and he slowly opened one eye, followed by the other... ugh, those deep ocean eyes, I could get lost in them...
"Why? Why me? You could also ask Mom and Roohi for help," I said sternly.
"Actually Roohi has some work in the office, and Maa is already deciding the venue and guest list. Chacha and Chachi went to a wedding and will return the day before dadi-dadu's anniversary. Dhruv and Rohit are the worst partners for shopping, and I can't handle it alone. That's why I need your help," he said all in one breath.
"Okay...ahh, who is Aryan?" I asked.
"He is my cousin brother, Maya bua's son," he replied.
"Ohh, I don't think I've met them until now."
"Ahh, actually she had some family issues back then, at the time of our marriage. And after that, there was an issue in their business which actually became a court case. After four years of trial everything is sorted out, so she is coming to the party."
"Oh, but why does no one tell me about your bua's family" I exclaimed.
"Because of some issues I think and we are not that close to bua maybe that's why" he said.
"Ohhh," i exclaimed.
He nodded and went back to his work on the laptop. I am very tired, so I'm going to sleep. You know, it feels very weird sharing a bed together.
But I never feel uncomfortable around him. I mean, he is just different from other men.
Not all men, you know. I've come across many men in my life who are only interested in women's bodies. Maybe that's the reason why I find it hard to trust men.
But my grumpy Chamgadar is different. He never tries to force himself on me or touch me inappropriately.
Although, I must admit, I secretly want him to touch me, hug me, kiss me, and......ugh, focus Esha, focus.
'You're moving faster than a bullet train, girl,' my brain said.
'Ruko zara, sabr kro,' my heart mocked my thoughts.
(Just hold on a little, have some patience)
"Oh God, what's happening to me?"
'Yuvaan is happening,' my heart replied.
'Just shut up, Esha. I don't approve of Yuvaan for you. I need to test him and see if he's good enough for you, you know nnn my instincts can never be wrong,' my brain retorted.
"But me kya kru?, mujhe andr kuch kuch hone lgta hai usko dekhte hi ," I murmured..... shaking my head to get rid of those unnecessary thoughts... yeah, unnecessary.
(But what do I do? I feel something something just by looking at him)
'Oh god Eshu , isse pehle pagal ho jaa so Jaa bas '
(Oh god, Esha, just go to sleep before you go completely crazy)

They're heading to Ms. Shefali Ahuja's place has reopened her case. Everyone is already present there. They arrived and started interrogating them.
"Actually, I want to tell you that Shefali didn't commit suicide, she was murdered," he said.
Her husband, Akash Ahuja, with tears in his eyes, asked, "Who murdered my wife?"
Even the rest of his family joined in with their fake tears.
"I know who the murderer is," he declared, silently signaling his teammates through his eyes to get into position.
"Well, let me explain things... Ms. Shefali had a difficult last few years due to her abusive family, which caused her anxiety and depression and led her to seek help from psychiatrists... Let's fast forward the story........So,
For the past 5 years, she hasn't experienced any anxiety attacks. Her mental health seemed fine. Then, she married the renowned businessman Mr. Akash Ahuja... But one day..." Yuvaan paused, scanning the expressions of the other family members, and became certain of who the culprit was.
"She's having another anxiety attack... you all want to know why? Well, let me tell you. She found out that her husband is having an affair, and even his family knows about it, right Mr. Akash? She wants a divorce, but now her husband doesn't want to divorce her because he wants her property, before signing divorce papers. So... " Yuvaan said when he got interrupted.
"No, you're lying. I know I had an affair and manipulated her to sign the property papers, but I would never murder her. I can't kill anyone, let alone my own wife... " Akash said, fear and shock evident in his voice, before he continued, he was interrupted by a hard punch landing on his face.
"You bloody rascal, you killed my sister for a mere property!" Shefali's brother Krish Rawat said, anger burning in his eyes.
"Stop, Mr. Rawat," Vansh said, stepping in to prevent him from punching Akash.
"Well, well, when did I say that Mr. Akash killed her?" Yuvaan said, a faint smirk appeared on his face.
With all this info, everyone was shocked and even Yuvaan's teammates were asking who they think murdered Mr. Akash, Shefali's husband. Yuvaan didn't tell them actual culprit, but they all waited for Yuvaan to finish his sentence.
"Well, I know Mr. Akash, you didn't kill her since you never went abroad. Instead, you went to your girlfriend's house and arrived when Shefali called you with some emergency... and that emergency was to divorce you," Yuvaan said and he nodded. The other teammates seemed to understand the situation now, and everyone started suspecting Akash's mother as the actual culprit since yuvaan didn't reveal the whole truth to his comrades.
"Well, I know there are other suspects from your family, but I don't believe they have the courage to commit murder..." Yuvaan added, pausing for a moment.
Everyone stood there, waiting anxiously for Yuvaan to continue as the story was about to unfold.
Yuvaan turned to Mr. Krish Rawat, he asked, "What do you think, Mr. Krish Rawat? Who could possibly murder your sister?". Fear completely dominated Yuvaan's face and a sweat drop fell from his forehead.
Krish hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What do you mean?"
"Ahh... I mean, how did you kill your sister and make it look like a suicide," Yuvaan said , crossing his arms and facing Krish.
Suddenly, Krish point his gun at Yuvaan, creating a tense situation. But in a surprising turn of events, Yuvaan's teammates swiftly raised their guns, leading to a standoff.
Unfazed, Yuvaan remained confident, casually crossing his arms. He tried to throw vase but no use as Raj and Vansh already gripped him.
"Mr. Krish, you are under arrest," Yuvaan said as he handcuffed him.
"Now tell us why you murdered your own sister," he asked.
"She found out about my illegal drug trafficking business. But she was stubborn and started gathering proof. When she finally had the evidence, I got scared that she would give it to the police. So, I tampered with her medication and with effects of her medicine, she started hallucinating. That day, things got really heated between us and I ended up giving her an overdose of drugs, her body didn't tolerate overdose and she died. To cover my tracks, I pushed her off the terrace and typed a suicide message in her mobile. To make matters easier for me, I already knew about Akash's affair and his in-laws' greed, which made them perfect suspects. I even bribed Dr. Naman and one of your officers ,to alter the forensic reports and erase the CCTV footage."
"And that's where you're wrong. Technically, we gather all the evidence and Dr. Naman completely forgot about the remaining tablets from the crime scene which we captured as evidence but due to some issues that tablet never got to test in forensic. And for the CCTV footage, I think our previous office requires some serious improvement... As we managed to retrieve the footage," Yuvaan explained everything.
.
.
.
.
With that, they leave and Krish receives his punishment. They also raid his factory for illegal drug trafficking and arrest Dr. Naman and Vishal, another officer who tampered with the evidence and misled the investigation.
Now, he understands why his father didn't suspect anything, as Dr. Naman was one of the trusted men his father relied on.
With this, they wrap up the case.
