Just after they leave A man comes to Vipul's cabin,
"hey! are you not coming?" He asks.
"No, I am just a cryptologist." I said.
He says smiling, "I think they dont know about you"
"Sorry" I doubted his intention
"Just kidding, Do your work until no one's here. This might be our last meeting probably. So take care of yourself and your family."
"Yaa. but..." Before I say anything, the man leaves.

After the office hours ended.. Vipul went on to follow this guy..

Vipul comes home. Unable to keep the frustration.. He asks Samidha about the truth.
Samidha: I can't tell you what happened and what was told, but I can tell you one thing, whatever I did was my duty. If you think I am wrong, I don't care.
Vipul: Did you kill Patil?
Samidha: What? No! I didn't. If you want to find someone, find Mishra to blame. Not me.
Vipul: Samidha, wait.. Samidha..
Samidha leaves home..
