Priyanka's pov~

"Priyanka, take this file with you, be good and take care!" Karan handed me Preeta's recent test reports to show to the nurse. His voice was steady, but I could see the strain in his eyes. He went inside his room to check on her, leaving me in the hallway, holding the file tightly.

Preeta was moved to Mumbai after two weeks of observation in Bangalore. We couldn't stay in the hospital there, so we brought her to Karan's penthouse, into his room, where he could be close to her.

Karan has changed. He is still broken inside, but he tries to keep Ankit and me from worrying. He personally takes care of me and even yelled at Ankit for not looking after me properly.

I remember that night vividly. I was working late in the office, all alone, with no one else around. The building was eerily quiet, and the hours dragged on. When I finally finished, I took a cab home at 3 AM. Exhausted and wary, I glanced around nervously as I left the office, the city streets eerily empty at that hour.

Karan saw this through the CCTV footage of the office exit gate from his house. His protective instincts kicked in immediately, and he called Ankit, furious. I later heard about how his voice trembled with concern and rage, livid that I had been left alone to fend for myself at such a late hour.

As I rode in the cab, the city passing by in a blur, I was lost in my thoughts. Suddenly, I saw headlights approaching, cutting through the darkness. To my shock, it was Ankit. He pulled up beside the cab, his face etched with concern and anxiety.

"Priyanka, are you alright?" he asked, his voice a mix of relief and frustration. I nodded, feeling a lump in my throat. The tension of the night, combined with Karan's anger and Ankit's worry, made me realize how much they cared.

That night, Karan's reaction showed me just how deeply he felt about our safety, especially after what happened to Preeta. He couldn't bear the thought of any more harm coming to those he cared about, and it made me understand the depth of his love and the extent of his anguish.

And the people who molested Preeta? They are now under our arrest. Yes, Karan found them within a week. They are in a special place now, where they can't hurt anyone else.

Karan also made Kartik work tirelessly, checking all cab drivers' IDs, their backgrounds, and ensuring every safety measure possible. According to the molesters, Preeta was in their cab when they took her to the abandoned building where the horrific incident happened.

Karan is controlling his anger just for Preeta. It's been so much time, and she is still in a coma. Each day, he carries the weight of his fury and sorrow, channeling it into protecting us and seeking justice for her.

As I stood outside Karan's room, waiting for the nurse, my heart ached for him. Despite his brokenness, he was our rock, and we leaned on him heavily. I clutched the file, feeling the weight of our shared pain and the hope that one day, Preeta would wake up, and we would be there for her, just as Karan has been for us.
