"I reckon someone might have hacked Maahi's phone. Maybe it's Kiran," Rehaan tells.

"No, brother," Maahi insists.

"Maahi, I'm just suspicious of him, not accusing. We need to uncover the truth," Rehaan says, glancing at Sam. "I'm sorry, Sam, for shouting at you. I truly apologize."

"No worries, brother. I'm fine. I know you always act as a brother would. I understand," Sam replies.

"Thank you for that," Rehaan says.

"Now, what will you do about Maahi's situation?" Sam asks Rehaan.

"My uncle is a Sub Inspector here. I'll ask for his help," Rehaan responds.

"Do I have permission to come with you?" Sam asks.

"You don't have to. It's my sister's matter," Rehaan says.

"Whoever did this also misled me. I'll come with you too," Sam explains.

"Okay, thank you," Rehaan acknowledges.

"Hmm," Sam says, looking at Maahi. "Maahi, I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay," she says.

They chatted for a while. Then, they all headed to the police station and filed a complaint with his uncle. After leaving the station, they were getting ready to go their separate ways.

"I really hope we can catch the real culprit," Tevin says.

Maahi glances at Sam. "I apologize for the trouble, senior," she says, then turns to Tevin. "Are you Sam's friend, Tevin, sir?" she asks.

Tevin looks at Sam and replies, "Yes, he is my best friend." He then turns back to Maahi. "And don't call me sir, just call me Tevin, or you can call me brother."

"Can I...?" she asks hesitantly, and Tevin nods. "Then I'll call you brother Tevin."

"And you're the Maahi that he always talks about," Tevin says, looking at Rehaan. "I never realized you were Rehaan's sister." He then looks back at Maahi.

"Do you know my brother?" Maahi asks.

Tevin pauses for a moment and looks at Rehaan. Rehaan was tensed. "Well, not exactly. He just resembles someone who is very dear to me. He mentioned it before," he explains, smiling at Rehaan.

"Oh, I see," Maahi says, smiling awkwardly.

Rehaan grasps Maahi's hands and glances at Tevin before turning to Sam. "Alright, we're heading out now," Rehaan declares.

"Sure thing, bro. Just give me a call if you need anything," Sam offers.

Rehaan nods in agreement. He then shifts his gaze to Tevin. "Looks like it's time for us to go," he states as he starts walking.

"Hold on a sec," Tevin interjects. Rehaan turns back as Tevin approaches him. "Could I have your number... Rehaan?" Tevin inquires.

"I don't really see the need to share my number with you," Rehaan responds, taking Maahi's hand and vanishing from sight.

Tevin watches Rehaan leave. 'He's still upset with me,' Tevin thinks to himself.

"Hey Tevin, let's head back," Sam suggests.

"Alright. Let's go," Tevin agrees, and they walk away.
