[omkara shivaay were stand and about to enter the gate just then rudra from behind hold them by shoulder]
Shivaay:[he and omkara turn back]rudra what are you doing here
Rudra:[he pulls his hands down and says]i am spying on both of you i heard you talking to the jailer on the phone why do you want meet ranveer

Shivaay:come let’s go
MEETING CELL
[shivaay,omkara and rudra were standing across a partition which separated prisoner and visitor warden brought ranveer and stood in corner of room on ranveer’s side]
Ranveer:[he smirks and says]so what do i owe this visit for
Shivaay:[he takes a step forward and says]let’s make this quick all we want is to know why you wanted to take revenge from priyanka
Ranveer:[he smiles and says]but i didn’t wanted to take any revenge from her
Omkara:[he says in little bit high tone]then why did you played with her life
Ranveer:[he looks away and then again looks at them]because i wanted to hurt your father and the things that affected tej singh oberoi was his power-money and his daughter it’s pretty clear that if i married his daughter i could have got control on both of his weakness
Shivaay:[he gets irritated and asks]but why did you wanted to hurt badepapa?what has he ever done to you
Ranveer:[he says shivaay in taunting tone]you call yourself a businessman you act as if you have been born to rule oberoi empire but you didn’t thought it necessary to look at history of empire which you rule
Omkara:[looked at shivaay and rudra and then again at ranveer]stop talking in riddles ranveer tell all clearly about it
Ranveer:[he takes a step forward in shivaay’s direction and says]the truth is mr.shivaay singh oberoi the empire you and your badepapa rule was built on blood of 20 factory workers and their owner and my father worked in that factory i watch my mother die due to shock of losing her husband your papa and badepapa made me orphan and many more like me but everyone thought that it was technical error but i knew that it wasn’t because i knew the owner well enough,he had maintenance crew to check upon everything and by the time i found out person behind all of it the case was closed so i decided that tej singh oberoi and his brother have to pay for what they did by hook or by crook
Shivaay:[he took moment to absorb all of it]there must be some misunderstanding
Ranveer:[he looks at shivaay with tears in his eyes]no shivaay if you want proof you can find it in my bank locker all proof against your badepapa and papa
Omkara:[he takes a step forward and says]if you had proof then why didn’t you acted before
Ranveer:[he giggles and says]who was gonna believe my word against your father’s[omkara couldn’t answer]no one but most interesting thing is you know the factory owners well[warden says time up and takes ranveer away]
Omkara:[it was difficult for all three brothers to digest what ranveer said but omkara broke silence]i think we should check his bank locker tomorrow first thing in morning
Shivaay[he turns looks at both of his brothers and says]no not tomorrow morning we will do it now because i know this isn’t true [all three of them leave from there omkara and tries to explain shivaay that they can do it tomorrow and rudra was to shock to even speak but he supported shivaay]
