Aarav's POV:

"What the hell happened? How could I lose control like that?

I mean, the tattoo behind her ear and her neck....I know her...Oh god!! How could I not recognize her? This is beyond messed up. The moment I saw that tattoo behind her ear and neck, I realized she's my Sana..."

"I was somewhat sober, but a bit tipsy too... it has never happened before, losing control over some girl, but to be honest, she is not any girl.

I've searched for her my whole life, waited for her for so long, and there she was, right in front of me, but with pure hatred in her eyes... I couldn't understand... What happened in these few years? What changed her?"

(Flashback)

A few years back ...As I returned from New York to Mumbai, my driver was nowhere to be found. Desperate, I called my parents. But no one picked up then.

At last, I tried calling the landline number and some women picked up... her voice crackling through the line... I explained the situation, but she hesitated. Eventually, she agreed to come, despite their business engagements...

Sitting alone at the airport, I anticipated her arrival. When she finally showed up, something about her felt familiar, yet distant. It was the first and last time I had seen her... but her presence was comforting.

During the two-hour journey, she cared for me in a way my own parents never had time for. She listened, talked, and showed genuine interest in my life. Unlike my mom and dad, who only supported me financially, she connected with me on a deeper level.

Then, a call interrupted our conversation. She answered, revealing a video call with her daughter, a 14 year-old girl. She revealed a tattoo behind her ear and behind her neck... her voice as beautiful as her appearance.

When the call ended, I asked Mrs Naina why her daughter wasn't with her. She hesitated, explaining that his family wouldn't approve. Though she didn't say it outright, I understood.

Determined, I declared that I would marry her daughter when I grew up. Mrs Naina laughed, thinking I was joking, but I was dead serious...

As we said bye, she told me not to bother my busy parents, who were always working.

(Of course, they are always busy in their own life and with their fights)

But I kept silent... I asked her to see my room, but she said she had other stuff to do, but surely she'll come some other day.. And then she left...

On the same day at late night, while I was sleeping in the mansion, I heard someone crying.

I got up and saw someone running away from my father's room. It was Mrs. Naina. I tried to help her, but my mother stopped me and insisted it was just a dream. I didn't believe her. After searching the whole mansion, I couldn't find her.... but I was pretty sure that wasn't a dream!

I searched every social media site, even asked God to help me find Mrs Naina .. but I never did.

And now, her daughter stands before me, and I feel certain she's mine. In that moment, everything seemed to click into place, and I was left speechless...

Mrs. Naina treated me like her own son during those two hours, and now I'll protect her daughter. I'll do everything in my power to fulfill my responsibility because I owe her a lot.

I owe her the love and care she showed me in those two hours, something I never received before her arrival and haven't since.

And about her daughter... I know she won't tell me anything, and I won't ask her... but where's Mrs. Naina?

Even though I barely know sana but No matter what, I'm here for her...

I'll make sure she gets whatever she wants. I'm determined, even obsessed, to fight for her... I've only known her for a short time, but I can tell she's been through a lot.

She's nothing like my father's family. I hate my father, and I'm sure something terrible happened to her in the past. Also I'm pretty sure my family is the reason for her hatred...I'll find out what it was, no matter what.

I couldn't stop thinking about her tattoos. They were the only thing I remembered about her. So, when I saw one behind her neck, I was shocked.

I had to be sure, so I moved her hair and saw another tattoo. It felt like everything clicked into place.

I was surprised and obsessed, but also sure she was the one I'd been looking for, my Sana. Mrs. Naina never told me her daughter's name, so her tattoos were the only way I recognized..

Years ago, she made me feel things I didn't understand. And now, she's doing it again. She affects me in a way no one else does, like she's a part of me.

When I first saw her at the bar and later during the interview, I felt conflicted. I thought I was betraying myself because I was fixated on finding that tattooed girl.

But now, seeing her again today, unchanged, I realize I'm glad she's still here. I'm grateful for our meeting. I'm glad she's following me, even if it's with hatred in her heart.

After that first encounter in the bar and the mysterious text I received, I knew it wasn't just a coincidence. So, I instructed Chirag to keep an eye on Miss Sana.

But when he revealed she's targeting my company, that's when I decided to play along with her game. At first, I thought it was all about business, everyone wants a bigger slice of the market.

But then she started snooping around those bars and targeted my father and it hit me: this wasn't just about business, it was personal.

And today I'm sure she's up to something... her hatred proves a lot of things... But not against me. So, who's the target? I need to find out, and fast.

I called Chirag and whispered, 'That girl, Sana Rathore? You said she's up to no good. I want every damn detail about her, down to the last breath she takes. Don't miss a thing. And if you do, you'll answer to me.' Then, I ended the call."

Sana's POV :

As I changed into my night clothes, Aarav's presence wouldn't leave my mind.

He knows my secrets, yet he's keeping quiet. What does he want from me???

And for the mistake he made today, getting too close to me, he'll face the consequences..

"Just wait and watch Mr. Chauhan..Tomorrow, I'll make you pay"

I called someone and told him to send a message to everyone at his company: no work tomorrow - A day off

Aarav will soon realize he shouldn't have underestimated me. Tomorrow, he'll see a side of me he never imagined. (She ended the call with a cold, chilling tone, leaving no room for doubt.)
