Ishq sukoon hai

[Annika - A, Shivaay - S, Rudra - Ru, Gauri - G]

Late at night, all of them met at Bhavya's place

S: What's the update guys?

Bhavya: bhaiyya, we swapped the documents, here are the original ones and I also swapped the contract you signed with her. But I couldn't find the video confession, neither on her laptop nor on her email account.

Om: where could she hide it? Shivaay, are you sure there's a video?

S: Yes she sent me a clip, look

He showed them a short clip of the employee telling about the deal

Bhavya: bhaiyya i don't think she'll keep it on her phone, anyone could try to steal her phone.

Ru: ugh she has already uploaded pictures from the function, look she tagged me in such a garbage picture. My notifications are blowing up

S: really rudra, how can you even focus on such a trivial thing right now?

A: Rudra, can you show me your phone

Annika zoomed in on the picture to look at something. She then looked at a few more pictures on Rupali's account

A: Shivaay, has she told you anything about this watch?

S: No

Priyanka: I asked her about it, since it doesn't go with her lehenga. She said it belonged to her late mother

A: That's not possible, look, this is a Tiffany's watch. They launched this design a year ago. There's no way this belonged to her mother. And look at the strap, it is in such good shape. No matter how nicely you keep it, 20 years will cause some wear and tear

S: i've never seen her without this watch

G: she didn't even take it off while getting her mehendi done, if it was my father's watch i would have made sure it never got dirty

A: exactly, bhavya is it possible to keep a memory card inside a watch of this size?

Bhavya: yes didi, this is totally possible

Priyanka: But how will we get it? She never takes it off

Om: it's haldi tomorrow, all the ladies of the house will go there after shivaay's haldi. Prinku, you and gauri can try to get it

A: Zulfi, she wouldn't take it off just like that. This watch is clearly important for her

G: What if we find a way to swap the watch without her finding out

Ru: how bhabhi? Do you know some magic tricks?

Bhavya: I know how we can do this. Can anyone arrange a duplicate watch?

A: I might know someone who can get us one on such a short notice. But what's the idea?

Bhavya: I know a pickpocket. We use him to get street information about local gangs. He can swap out her watch easily

G: I thought cops befriending street thugs only happened in movies and shows

Bhavya: it comes in handy now and then. Annika didi if you get the watch before the function, i can arrange for the guy to be there dressed as staff
