Steve- Um...I think we should go home, you are looking frustrated.
Yukti- Yeah!And if I solved this puzzle, you're going with me to the record room. (With a cold voice)
Steve- Why would I go with you?
Yukti- Don't wanna come?...Ok then die here.(She said as if she doesn't even cares when she does and starts walking towards the car alone)

Steve-(He runs towards Yukti and stops her by grabbing her hand) Wait I'm coming! Let's go to the restaurant first.
Yukti- Why?😑
Steve- Do you even know what time it is?
Yukti- Yeah...it's 1:10pm so?
Steve- Huh....come with me , I am hungry!(he makes her sit in the car)

In the restaurant,
Steve- Well...it seems like you are going to solve this riddle right here and you also want me to be with you all the time, huh? Hey! Yukti are you going to the record room direct from here?
Yukti- Yeah!....(While concentrating on the riddle) I know it's a case file but which one?And why this unknown person motivating me by this riddle?
Steve- Huh?....what? motivating you?
Yukti- Yes....see this(she shows her phone to him) 'Be your own strength, you're too intelligent and the only one to solve this case.Stand for justice ,for the truth. '
Steve-Hmmm....I see. Well, let's go! I have already payed the bill.

They left the restaurant and were walking on the street-
Yukti- God!!..why me?(while looking at the sky) why me?.Nor I want to leave this case by doing injustice to the victims neither I want to play this ' live or die' game! Why me??..(Says with teary eyes)I'm tired of this, I could've just died! ( she is broken after so many attempts to kill her)

Steve- Are you crazy? What the hell are you saying?( In anger with tensed eyes) Do you even know how important you are to me?( Saying while hugging her tightly) Have you ever cared about me? That day when you were stabbed, you don't know how tensed I was! How am I going to live without you!!???( And makes her more closer to him and tightly hugs)

Yukti- O..Oh..( Hugs him back) What did you said? You can't live without me...really?
Steve-( Suddenly uplifts his head) OH.. (aparting from her) N..n..no..I didn't meant that.
Yukti- You're lying Steve! Was that a ..
Steve- ( Grabs her hand) I think, this is enough talk for today, let's go home! (While dragging her towards the car).


The seen slowly uplifts from them to the sky, now only the beautiful reddish sky of 🌆can be seen and only Yukti's voices can be heard...

Steve.....STEVE...WAIT What did you said!!??
