23rd April'2005, Railway Colony, Delhi.
Rukhsaar, Naina and Rajat went to Delhi to meet a female Muslim-counsellor, for Nilofar, still, she wasn't able to come out the grieve of Amay's death, so Rukhsaar thought to talk to a counsellor, the woman who they were going to meet was someone in her relations. The trio somehow managed to find the counsellor's house by asking a man who they saw smoking on his rooftop. Rajat shouted, "hey brother! Can you help us find this address?"
"Yea, wait lemme come down," he said as he crushed the cigarette. 
"Rajat, you know him?" Rukhsaar asked.
"Yea, I was also wondering," Naina said, "you know him?"
"Chill, girls I don't know him, he looked a jolly person so I asked," Rajat said meanwhile the man came down.
"Yea, say how can I help you guys?" he asked.
"Brother, please help us find this address, I guess it's somewhere here?" Rajat said, giving the address to the man.
"Oh yea, it's Tilli's address," the man said, "why do you guys want to meet her?"
"Uh, actually, my daughter needs her help," Rukhsaar popped, "can you please guide us to her house?"
"Yea, sure," the man said, "please come this way," he said pointing towards the opposite lane. The counsellor's house was just diagonally opposite of the man's house.

Counsellor's House
Rukhsaar, Rajat and Naina were in the counsellor's office. There were two doors in the office, one which opened in the entrance, and another one opened in another room. The room was dusty and less furnished, only 4 chairs scattered all over the room, it looked more of a Lawyer's office, bookshelves containing huge books, some books were kept in half-opened cartons. The man asked them to sit and meanwhile, he went towards the door which opened in another room and got in the room.  
"Rukhsaar, the counsellor is your sister or what?" Naina whispered.
"No Naina, actually, there's a friend of mine, Ashfaq Beg, he told me about her," Rukhsaar said.
The door was opened and a not-to-beautiful girl, with hazel-brown eyes and straight hairs in light-blue and white salwar-kameez, entered the room and two boys followed her, one was the man who took Rukhsaar, Naina and Rajat to her and the other one was a total stranger for them. 
"You're Mr Beg's friend?" the counsellor asked to Rukhsaar as she sat on one of the chairs, "he must've told you about me, well, I'm Shaheera Farooq Mallik," the counsellor introduced herself, "and these are my friends, Vineet he took y'all here and he's Abhishek, hope you're comfortable with them too," she said and smiled at them, "Ashfaq told me about your husband, Amay's death, I'm so sorry..."
"Excuse me, Miss Mallik, Amay wasn't my husband," Rukhsaar stopped her in between and cleared out all the misunderstandings.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know," Shaheera apologized.
"Um, I think, I should leave now," Vineet said, "I'll come in the evening, we'll discuss the Atulya Murder Case," he added.
"I'm also coming with you," Abhishek said, "I've to discuss something with Nivishthi," he added.
"Yea," Shaheera said and Vineet and Abhishek moved out of the room, "thank you so much Vineet," she said in a little high voice, "I'm sorry guys, say Rukhsaar how can I help you?" Shaheera said to Rukhsaar.
