"How did it happen?" Vikram asks softly, not being able to meet the man's eyes. 

"She went missing for a few hours and then her car was found outside of the city. She died in that car accident." Naina's husband says, voice oozing raw emotion and pain. 

Vikram nods his head, not being able to do anything else. This cannot be an accident. That person is vicious who is after him. That person is killing people left and right just to prove to him that they won't stop that easily. He feels guilty for suspecting Naina. She had always been a faithful employee. She made sure to walk an extra mile to keep Vikram's health in check. Guilt eats him up slowly when the realization dawns on him that it's because of him Naina lost her life, leaving her little kids and husband behind. Naina's husband looks miserable while her innocent kids don't even know their mother won't ever come back. 

"She promised the kids to take them to the amusement park next week. But now…. She…She…" the man breaks down.

Vikram likes to believe he is a strong man, both emotionally and physically. But certain things make him feel weak on the knees. He can't stand the helpless look of Naina's husband, knowing it's all his fault. But he doesn't know how to console somehow. So, he lets the man weep his heart out. 

That person knew he would be shaken by Naina's death. If even his employees aren't safe then his family is at greater risk. He can't let anything happen to Veer. 

"Did you file a police complaint?" The man nods his head. 

"But they declared it was just an accident. They closed the case." 

Vikram leaves the mourning family on their own after exchanging a few more words and giving Naina's husband an envelope which contains a cheque. A cheque that will be enough for the man to manage his and his kids' expenses for the next 5 years. Sadly, he can't do more than that for now. He will be talking to the police regarding Naina's death. Maybe that will lead him somewhere. 

This is a clear threat. He knows the killer will make a move soon, they will send him another message soon. He is afraid for the people around him. He will have to appoint bodyguards for the people he is close to. He doesn't know when that bastard will strike and harm who. He will have to be alert. 

No matter what he is doing, everything is meeting with a dead end. How can that person be so smooth about everything? There should be some mistakes. He will wait for it while working on his investigation. He just hopes it's not too late.

Kairav has come to college after ages. Though he wanted to waste his day by staying in bed the whole day, his brother didn't like the idea and forcefully sent him there. Now, what's better than eating your best friend's head when you are annoyed? Nothing. 

"Kai, if you don't want me to kill you, shut up." Tani warns through her gritted teeth. 

"Aree, but I don't understand this." Kairav whines, shoving the notebook to her. 

"How many times do I need to tell you that I failed that subject?" Tani mutters, rolling her eyes when Kairav laughs. 

"Ah, here it is. You failed. You failed the easiest subject and yet you have the audacity to call me stupid." He grins at her, tani punches his teeth, hurting both him and her.
