Tripura's surprise was evident as she clutched the note in her hand, her eyes widening in shock as she read the cryptic message Avishka had left behind. Turning to Anisha, she noticed an equally bewildered expression on her face. Anisha's brows furrowed as she admitted, I've never heard about this before. What could it mean? They exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of the mysteries the red door held

Tripura's determination was unwavering as she replied,

T : I don't know why Avishka mentioned the red door, but I need to find out.

Her sense of urgency drove her to decide to check Karan's apartment once more. As she headed towards the door to leave, Anisha voiced her concern about the late hour.Anisha, her voice tinged with worry, said,

A : Tripura, it's already so late. Are you sure it's safe to go there now?

She was genuinely concerned for her friend's well-being and wondered about the risks of going out at such an hour.

Tripura's determination pushed her to stand up quickly and grab her handbag, ready to head out. Anisha, not wanting her friend to go alone, offered her support, saying she would accompany her to Karan's apartment. Tripura hesitated, worried about the potential risks, but Anisha reassured her.Anisha firmly stated,

A : I'll be there with you, Tripura, but I'll stay far away from the apartment to avoid any risks. No one will know I'm there.

Relieved by Anisha's commitment to her safety, Tripura agreed with a grateful nod, and together they set off to unravel the mystery of the red door.

But just then Anisha, noticed Tripura's exhaustion and concern. She gently asked,

A : Have you had any food lately? I guess not. Let's have dinner first before you go.

Anisha's offer was a heartfelt gesture of support, and she wanted to ensure that Tripura took care of herself before continuing her quest for answers.

Tripura's memory of her pregnancy tugged at her heartstrings, reminding her of the responsibility she had towards her unborn child. Despite her mental turmoil and the lack of appetite, she knew she had to take care of herself for the sake of her baby. With determination, she agreed to have dinner with Anisha, recognizing the importance of nourishing herself and her growing child, even in the midst of her personal crisis.

As Anisha parked her car a little farther away from Karan's apartment, she turned to Tripura with a deep sense of concern. She urged Tripura to be cautious, not wanting to put her friend in any danger. Anisha's voice was filled with worry as she said,

A : Please be careful, Tripura. I don't want you to put you in any danger if you think you want to do it Then you do but just be careful I am telling you

Tripura, however, was resolute and determined. Her eyes reflected the turmoil within her as she replied

T : Anisha, I haven't been able to sleep properly since I found out that my entire life has been a lie. I won't rest until I uncover the real truth.

Her determination was unwavering, and she stepped forward, ready to face whatever revelations awaited her in Karan's apartment.

Tripura's exhaustive search through the apartment had taken a toll on her. She had combed through everything meticulously, but there was still no trace of anything related to the red door. As she stood by the kitchen sink, sipping water to quench her dry throat, a sense of frustration and unease lingered within her.

She couldn't shake the feeling that something important was eluding her grasp. The mystery surrounding the red door and Avishka's note continued to weigh heavily on her mind. Even as she drank the water, she couldn't shake the nagging sensation that she was missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.

As Tripura stood there, the weight of her situation and the uncertainty of the mystery before her became overwhelming. The thought of the life she carried inside her brought a flood of worry and vulnerability.

Her eyes welled up with tears, and she felt a deep emotional turmoil.In that moment, she was not just a determined investigator but also a soon-to-be mother, and the weight of both roles bore down on her. Her tears were a manifestation of the immense pressure she was under, a mixture of fear, frustration, and maternal concern.

Tripura's physical and emotional exhaustion took its toll as her legs trembled, and she found herself sinking to the floor, overcome by the weight of her thoughts. In that vulnerable moment, she couldn't help but reflect on Karan and the torment he had brought into her life.

With a trembling voice and tears in her eyes, she whispered to herself, "Why did he do this to me? Why did he turn my life into a living hell like this?" The pain and confusion of betrayal and deception were etched across her face as she grappled with the harsh reality of her situation.

Exhausted and emotionally drained, Tripura was about to leave the apartment, but a sudden memory jolted her. The mention of Mrs. Scott bumping into a girl near the locker room and the dash cam footage rushed back to her mind. With a renewed sense of purpose, she turned herself towards the parking area, determined to uncover any clues that might be hidden within that footage.

Despite her fatigue, Tripura's resolve to uncover the truth was stronger than ever, and she was ready to pursue any lead that could help her unravel the mysteries surrounding the red door and her own life.

As Tripura wandered around the parking area, her frustration and confusion grew with every passing moment. Just when she was feeling completely clueless, her phone rang, and she saw that it was Anisha calling. Anisha's concern was evident in her voice as she inquired about Tripura's well-being.However, Tripura's determination remained unwavering. She reassured Anisha, her voice filled with resolve,

T : I'll find that door at any cost, Anisha. It must be hidden here somewhere.

Her conviction to uncover the truth was unshakeable, and she was ready to continue her search no matter how challenging it became.

Navigating an unfamiliar apartment complex, Tripura's confusion deepened, compounded by the eerie silence of the parking lot. The stillness around her added to her unease, and she couldn't help but feel a creeping sense of tension. The dimly lit surroundings cast long shadows, further intensifying the atmosphere of uncertainty that enveloped her.

With every step, she searched for signs or directions to the apartment locker room, but the unfamiliarity of the place left her feeling lost and on edge. The combination of confusion and the unsettling quietness made her journey through the complex an increasingly tense and anxious experience.

With newfound hope and a clearer sense of direction, Tripura quickly accessed the dash cam footage on her phone. As she carefully reviewed the video, she spotted the moment where Mrs. Scott had encountered the mysterious lady. The footage revealed a tunnel at the end of the parking area, and her heart raced with anticipation.Following the visual clue from the video,

Tripura walked determinedly toward the tunnel. As she reached the end of the tunnel, she found herself standing in front of the very door she had been searching for. It stood there, bathed in an eerie, dim light, its red hue unmistakable. A rush of relief and excitement washed over her as she realized that she had finally found the elusive red door, the key to uncovering the truth she had been seeking.
