========================================

Abhimaan POV

As I sit there with my Jaan holding her trembling hand, my mind is racing... The relief of seeing her safe is mixed with fierce anger.. What in the world just happened?.. I can't shake the image of her trapped in that storeroom.. her voice weak and trembling as she called for help.. The panic that gripped me when I heard her cry out was overwhelming..

I can still hear her voice-faint, desperate, barely audible. It's haunting.

My Jaan, sitting here next to me.. holding my hand like a lifeline, is the only thing that's keeping me grounded right now.. Her fear, her trembling.. her need for reassurance-it's all a stark reminder of how close I came to losing something incredibly precious..

The thought of her scared and alone fills me with rage.. I'll find out who is behind this.. and I'll make sure they understand the gravity of their actions.

whether it was negligence or something worse.. whoever is responsible will face consequences.. For now, my priority is her safety and comfort.

After the tension starts to subside.. Ronit offers to drop Mishti off.. but I cut him off immediately.. "I'll drop her off," I say, my voice firm. I can see the surprise in everyone's eyes, and I don't care.. My focus is solely on Mishti right now.

Ronit looks taken aback but nods. "Are you sure, sir?"

"Yes, I'm sure," I said.. trying to sound casual. "You must be tired, Ronit.. You've had a long day.. You should head home and rest."

Hriday steps in.. sensing the awkwardness. "Alright then. Ronit.. you go home we will drop her off."

Ronit heads off to retrieve Mishti's phone and his belongings.. leaving everyone to exchange confused looks.. I can't blame them; my sudden decision probably seems out of the blue.

Ayesha came towards Mishti.. gave her a warm smile and said with a side hug.. " bye, mishi.. take care." Before heading out.

Ronit returned quickly.. handing Mishti her phone and offering a simple farewell.. I will not lie but I still can't bear the sight of them together.. Knowing that Ronit has feelings for my Jaan.

Just then the driver came there with a car.. As we begin to leave.. Mishti voices a concern. "What about my Activa?"

I turn to her and say, "Give me the keys."

She hands over the keys.. and I instruct my driver to bring her Activa to her home.. ensuring he follows my car.

Once the arrangements are made.. I gesture to My Jaan. "You can sit in the front. As you know the way to your place?"

She nods and climbs into the front seat, looking relieved but still shaken.. Hriday takes the back seat.. and I drive with cautious attention.. I need to get her home safely.

When we pull up to Mishti's flat.. my driver arrives with her Activa.. and I hand her the keys.. I offer to walk her to her flat.. and even though she hesitates, she eventually agrees.

We make our way to the entrance of her building.. I can sense her reluctance, but I want to be sure she's okay.. As we approach her door, she reaches for the bell.. but I can't let her do that just yet.
