Recap: Sara saved and Sharath got Sam and Priyanka under his custoday

********************

The next day, everyone was ready to leave home.

"Sana ma, don't worry about anything," her father said, holding her hands. "Vikram is with you and he will protect you at any cost. I'm leaving the country for a business trip and will return in a week. You take care and be happy."

"Sana, wait here. I'll send dad off and come back," Vikram said, walking out with her father, Rakshat, and Pugazh.

"Dad, stay safe and be in touch with either of us always. I'll arrange for security," Vikram assured.

"No, Vikram. I will take care. You don't worry about me. Take care of Sana. She is disturbed too much," her father replied.

"I will take care, Dad," Vikram promised.

"Dad, I'll come and stay with you until you leave for your trip," Rakshat offered.

Vikram returned to the room with Pugazh.

"Sana, shall we leave?" he asked.

"Sister, be happy. We are with you, and nothing will happen beyond us," Pugazh said with a smile.

"Sure, bro," Sana replied softly.

"Bro, I'll work from home today," Pranitha said.

"Work will be taken care of, so rest for today," Vikram responded.

They reached home shortly after. Sana headed straight to her room with Sara.

"Go talk to her. She'll feel better," Pugazh nudged Vikram.

Vikram nodded and walked into the room. He found Sana sitting on the couch, silently watching Sara play. She didn't notice him standing next to her.

"Sana..." he called gently.

No reply.

"Sana baby..." he said again, sitting next to her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and she leaned into his chest.

"I feel something bad is about to happen, Vikram," she whispered.

"Sana, nothing will happen. Stay strong. Have the guts to face anything. You're Vikram's wife. Didn't you realize your strength when you punished Nisha? I'm with you, no matter what. We're together in everything. Now tell me, what shall we do? Do you want to stay home or shall we go out?"

"We'll stay home... you go to office and look after work."

"Business will run, so let's not worry about that."

"Amma... Amma... Ap... Ap... Amma!" Sara cried.

They rushed over and saw her toy stuck under the table. Vikram quickly retrieved it and handed it to her.

"Hey wifey," Vikram chuckled, "she's trying to call me Appa. When will she say it completely?"

"She's trying, and very soon you'll hear it from her," Sana smiled.

"I'm yearning to hear her call me Appa," he said, eyes glistening.

Sana kissed his cheek lovingly.

Just then, Vikram's mobile beeped with a message.

"Sana, I'll be back in a bit. Just need to finish some work in the study," he said and walked out.

He dialed Sharath.

"What happened, Sharath?"

"Akash is behind the kidnap of Sara. What shall we do?" Sharath said.

"Let's not do anything now. Sana is shaken, so let's be quiet for some time and handle it later."
