For the success dinner party following the award ceremony three of them went to a nearby restaurant
While they were having the their dinner tripura passionately praised her husband, highlighting his unwavering dedication, hard work, and remarkable achievements.
With heartfelt words, she acknowledged his relentless pursuit of excellence.so Karan became a little shy and tried to mock her
He said
K : Look at your mom kiara isn't she being so absurd to us I mean see she is laughing her heart out and praising me so much is she okay or what
So kiara pursed her lips and giggle and tripura narrowed her look to them
T : I am letting it slide tonight just because it's your day karan
K : Oh thank god
Ki : Do you know dad mom drove me here today she is such a pro at driving
Hearing that karan surprisingly looked at her wife
K : Did you ?
She shighed
T : I had to do it because of you
Then Karan hold her hand
K : Oh tipsy I am so happy that you finally made it happen you need to get out of your insecurities
T : Let's not talk about this now karan and finish the dinner
While enjoying her dinner, a passing waiter accidentally dropped something on her dress, prompting an unexpected stain
Seeing that suddenly Karan got tempted he got up and yelled at him
K : You bloody blind man how could you do such nonsense
Tripura and kiara both got a little baffled seeing karan like that so she decided to handle the situation
Tripura stood up
T : Karan relax nothing happend that serious I will fix it
she calmly assessed the situation, With a composed smile, then gracefully excused herself from the table and headed to the restroom.
While she was using available resources to minimize the stain's visibility in the washroom suddenly a women came next to her
In an unsettling tone she said
W : No matter how hard you will try some stains never fades away
Hearing that tripura looked at her curiously
T : What ? What is it about
But she smirked
W : As if you don't know ?
Then she came a little close to her
She shared disturbing information, claiming that the stain on the dress was a symbolic representation of a dark secret her husband held a heinous crime involving murder
Just after she said that the shock and surprise were evident on her face as the woman's words sank in, leaving her feeling a mix of disbelief, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of dread. The unexpected encounter and the grave accusation had completely caught her off guard, leaving her with a tumultuous whirlwind of emotions.
She stepped a few days back she was sweating her voice was trembling
T : What the hell ? Is this a joke ? Who the hell are you
W : You wouldn't know me that's not needed but atleast you should know your husband better try it
Then she left a paper beside the sink and left from there imidiately
After the woman left, she stood frozen in the restroom, her mind racing and her thoughts in turmoil. The weight of the stranger's words seemed to immobilize her, rendering her unable to move or think clearly. Her surroundings felt distant, as if she were trapped in a bubble of shock and disbelief. Time seemed to stretch, and the world around her faded into a blur as she grappled with the sudden revelation. The shock had taken hold, leaving her in a state of inertia, struggling to process the unexpected and disturbing information that had just been thrust upon her.
But she gathered some courage she went after her but after came outside she couldn't find her anywhere near so she came back to the washroom
And she lifted the paper in her hand there she saw a picture of an young girl named avishka kapoor
Her minds goes completely blank just then her phone rang and it was Karan she recived the call
K : Where are you Tipsy we are waiting for you outside come fast
She said okay and hung up
After that she folded the paper and put inside in her purse
When tripura reached to him she was kiara wasn't there so she asked
T : Where is kia ?
K : I let her sleep inside the car she was worn out couldn't stand anymore
Then both of them also went inside the car
As they journeyed back, Tripura's mind remained consumed by the encounter with the mysterious woman and her unsettling words.
Lost in thought, her anxiety continued to intensify, causing her to replay the conversation over and over again. However, her train of thought was abruptly disrupted when she realized her husband was steering the car in a different direction, diverting from their usual route.Curiosity flickered within her as she glanced at her husband, her eyes questioning. Wondering about this unexpected change in course, her mind shifted from the unsettling encounter momentarily,
T : Karan this isn't the way to your house, where are we going ?
K : Oh I actually forgot to tell you I am renovating the house so everything there were completely messed so I booked a room for us at a hotel
T : But we just need to spend the night why did you bother so much
K : Tipsy I have done this because I thought I should so please stop questioning my decisions everytime
T : No karan I didn't mean that I was just curious that why did you suddenly decided to renovate the house
K : Leave it I am feeling so exhausted just need to get some sleep
Then during the journey Karan didn't said a single word to her he was completely in a different trance so tripura didn't insisted him either
After they reached to there room tripura made kiara to sleep on her bed and went to freshen up
She splashed some water on her face and looked at herself into the mirror
Tripura's memory resurfaced a particular moment when her husband Karan's demeanor had shifted noticeably. It was when she had inquired about the house, a subject seemingly unrelated to the earlier encounter. Her curiosity deepened as she recalled how his temperament had changed in response to her question. This new revelation added another layer of intrigue to the situation, fueling her curiosity even further about the connection between the mysterious woman's words and her husband's unusual behavior.
Then she remembered about the missing girl picture that the women left behind she decided to look into it again and try to find out what's going on arround her
