After the three of them left, Vikram sat alone in the room.
Files were scattered across the table…
and right in front of him lay that list —
the list of girls whose marriages had been arranged by Vivek Verma.
Vikram looked at it once… then again… and then over and over.
Something about it was bothering him.
And then suddenly —
his eyes stopped at one particular spot.
He quickly picked up the files…
matched them with the list…
checked again… carefully this time…
And now — his doubt was confirmed.
Without wasting a second, he called Ravi.
Vikram:"Ravi… Komal's name is not on this list!"
There was silence on the other end for a moment.
Vikram continued: "The same Komal… whose wedding happened last in the village…"
"The one after which all this started…"
"Find her… no matter where she is!"
Ravi: "Yes sir! We'll start right away."
For the next 4 days,
Ravi, Pankaj, and Meena worked day and night.
No help from the department…
no official support…
no one else even knew…
They searched everywhere…
checked records…
questioned locals…
But—
Nothing.
At 11 PM:
Tired and disappointed, all three reached Vikram's house.
The room was filled with heavy silence.
Meena (exhausted): "Sir… even after 4 days of effort, we found nothing…"
"But… we did find one thing…"
Vikram immediately looked at her—
Vikram: "What is it?"
Meena: "Sir… we found Komal's house…"
"We went there to meet her…"
"But she refused to talk… completely."
"She was extremely scared…"
"It was clear from her face… she's hiding something."
Silence filled the room again.
Vikram (thinking deeply): "That means… Komal knows a lot…"
Pankaj: "So what now, sir? If she won't speak…"
Vikram slowly lifted his head.
Now, there was clarity in his eyes.
Vikram: "When truth doesn't come out the easy way…"
"You have to pull it out."
All three looked at him.
Vikram: "It's time to do something different."
"This time… Meena will handle it."
Meena was shocked—
Meena: "Me… sir?"
Vikram nodded.
Vikram: "Only a woman can truly understand the pain Komal is hiding."
The tension in the room deepened.
Next Day (Sunday):
All three gathered again at Vikram's house.
Vikram closed the door…
and spoke in a low, serious tone—
"You all have done great work so far…"
"But now… if we want the truth… we'll have to take a risk."
"We're going inside Vivek's haveli…"
"But this time—
as guests."
They exchanged glances.
And then—
Vikram explained the entire plan.
Days passed.
One… two… ten…
28 days later:
Everything had gone quiet.
Vivek had started believing—
the case was buried forever.
On the other side…
Salim's family had almost given up hope of justice.
That same day…
An old man stood outside Vivek Verma's haveli…
with his young daughter beside him.
He spoke to the servant at the gate—
Old man: "I want to meet sahib…"
"I've come to talk about my daughter's marriage…"
The servant looked at them carefully from head to toe…
…and then gestured them to go inside.
Inside the haveli…
Another "marriage story"
was about to begin.
Or maybe—
This time…
someone's true face
was about to be exposed.
Was this old man and his daughter really here for a marriage…?
Or was this Vikram's most dangerous move yet to uncover the truth?
What do you think, what is the real truth.
And what will happen next?
