Ni main aayi teri liye dekh saj dhaj ke

Thakna ni aaj main taan nach nach ke

Mundeya tu rehna zara bach bach ke

Ni mere thumke taan fire lagaave

Hauli hauli, hauli hauli

Hauli hauli gidhe vich nach patlo ni

Tera lak na maroda khaa jaave

Hauli hauli gidhe vich nach patlo ni

Tera lak na maroda khaa jaave

Hauli hauli gidhe vich nach patlo ni

Tera lak na maroda khaa

Yeah baby!

The song blasted through the speakers, creating a perfect ambience for the party, as even more than 200+ people that had surrounded the living room, couldn't even make half of it full.

She pulled her hair, in beautiful waves, from the back, placing it on her shoulder, revealing a sleeveless blouse, as she walked through the party.

It was only when she turned back, after picking some drinks for herself, from the back, it was revealed to be, ishita. She was enjoying her drink, when she got a message on her phone, 'come now.'. She seemed quite glad ,surprisingly, to see the message, as she secretly left the party, not letting anyone see her.

When it came to her sister though, purvi wasn't exactly even close to being even remotely happy.

"No, no, i don't think you understand..." she argued, although she might have taken a different approach for the outfit, from her sister, with a golden saree with heavy decoration.

"News Now, has shown a consistent growth of 20% in the TRP after every quarter...and there's nothing that's gonna stop us from going even higher than this." stated purvi.

"Mrs. khanna, we agree with u, but.." attempted the poor old man she was not just ready to leave, to decline.

"We have a very high share of 9'O clock slot audience...trust me, your ads are better to be placed there.." suggested purvi, when dushyant came along.

"Oh Mr. Paswan, hi." he greeted, as the old man was much more happy to see him.

"Bhai, dekhiye na..pata nahi kaunsi dushmani yeh hamare news channel se nikal rahe hain..." joked purvi.

"Paswan sahab, agar aap hamare saath business kar hi rahe hain...inhe bhi try kijiye..i can assure u, yeh bhi kabhi aapko shikayat ka mauka nahi denge..." stated dushyant, how could the poor man not agree?

Ishita had reached the corridor area of the ground floor, where no one was there, she was looking around for the texter she got the message from, only for her to be pulled inside the room on her right. (socho, socho, kaun hai?)

"Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?" asked ishita in surprise, as he just signalled towards the door locked from inside.

"Arre toh bhi, dushyant aa gaya toh!" exclaimed ishita, as he just looked at her in disbelief.

"Abhi jasmine ne cake bhi nahi kaata hai, bhai usse pehle apni laadli beti ko chodke thodi aayenge..." he remarked, as ishita just turned to the door, her arms crossed.

"Aur woh bhi ghar bhi nahi aahi hai...." stated ishita, as he hugged her from the back.

"Aa jayegi...ab agle hafte pura busy haina hamara baba...abhi thoda time hai toh..." he stated, as ishita was now facing him.

"Kuch zyada hi chalak ho gaye ab, huh kavin?" commented ishita, as he picked her up in his arms.

"Abhi tumne chalaki dekhi kahan hai..." he remarked, as ishita just chuckled.

Dushyant, talking to just another one of his clients, noticed the time on the clock, it was 9pm.

"Excuse me..." he excused with a fake smile, as he started to dial jasmine's number.

The ring kept on going....and no response.

"The number you are dialling..." came a voice from the phone, as he kept it down, and started to dial another number.

"Haan papa.." came a response, as dushyant finally took a sigh of relief.

"Beta nihaal, woh, jasmine....le liya na tumne, jasmine woh group study se?" confirmed dushyant.

"Papa uski friend ne hi bola tha, woh toh auto lekar 7:30 hi nikal gayi thi...abhi baarish ho gayi hai, main jaam fassa hua hoon..." informed nihaal, as the phone dropped from dushyant's hand.

"Hello, papa? Papa?" the voice kept coming from the phone, when purvi noticed this and rushed to him.

"Bhai, kya hua...bhai..." attempted purvi to know what was happening.

"Jasmine..jasmine..gayab hai..." responded dushyant, as purvi was now scared too.

***

An empty hall, as dushyant sat on the sofa, worried, sobbing, as ishita was comforting him.

"Bhai, baat ho gayi hai commissioner se...woh dhoond rahe hain usse..maine photo bhi bhej diya hai usse...jaldi mil jayegi, don't worry.." informed kavin, as purvi looked at him.

"Koi baat nahi, main ek baar DIG se investigative officer ka number leleti hoon, hum updates le lenge...i'm pretty sure, subha se pehle ghar aa jayegi woh..." stated purvi, as she went to make the call.

"Mujhe khudh hi jaana chahiye tha, main ruk jaata na ek ghanta wahan, usse chodhne ke liye aur lene ke liye...tum aur kavin toh hoti hi na ghar mein party ki tayari karne..." expressed dushyant his guilt as kavin and ishita exchanged glances.

"Main jaakar bachon ko dekhe aati hoon zara..." stated ishita, as she left, and kavin was left to console dushyant.

"Yaar maine kaha tha usse bday hai tera, enjoy karle, par nahi!" she exclaimed, eating from the cake.

"Bani, har koi teri tarah aalsi thodi hota hai ab..." he replied casually, as she she threw a pillow at him.

"Tu mujhe aalsi bulega, nashedi! Dekho abhi bhi apna ganjaa hi le raha hai...equm tera kya hoga!" retorted bani, as equm just chuckled.

"Arre, main toh test kar raha hoon tayaji aur tayiji ke liye...they'll feel so much peace after taking this, i tell you..." replied equm, as bani just looked at him with sheer disgust.

"Tum dono zeher lekar marjao! Kabhi shanti nahi rakhni hai tumhe..." yelled nihaal, as he sat down, on the bed, he was lying down on before.

"I'll kill that bastard...whoever did this..." stated nihaal, with a teary eye.

"You know, it is sexist to think that women can't be criminals...what about if it's a transgender...i saw it last night on murder3!" exclaimed equm, as bani just came and place a handkerchief in front of his nose, as he dozed off, and nihal just glared at her.

"Kya! Cough syrup hai halki si...uth jayega subha! Kuch naya toh nahi diya, joh yeh leta nahi..." remarked bani, as nihaal just stood up to walk away.

"Nihaal!" called baani, as he turned back.

"Kya!" screamed nihaal.

"Woh, cake leloge tum...woh aur khaane ka man nahi hai...aur agar yeh rakhne gayi aur tayaji ko dekh gaya toh aur rone lag jayenge, so..." stated bani, as nihaal just glared at her.

"Tum dono seriously bahaut stupid ho!" exclaimed nihaal as he got out of there.

Bani looked over at equm.

"Isse hi puch leti hoon..." said bani to herself.

***

Nihaal was running outside, with no direction, he just kept on running, he thought maybe he'll find himself somewhere that he needed to be.
