OM,

Morning,

The sun filtered through the large windows of Shivaay's study, casting a warm glow on the polished wooden furniture. Shivaay sat at his desk, his fingers lightly drumming on the surface as his mind churned with thoughts. How could he uncover the truth behind Anika's actions? The question gnawed at him, distracting him from his work.

A soft knock on the door broke his reverie.

Shiv:- Come in.

The door creaked open, and a servant entered, bowing slightly as he approached.

Servant:- Sir,aapke liye ye letter aaya hai.

( Sir, this letter has arrived for you.)

The servant handed over a cream-colored envelope, the paper thick and slightly rough under Shivaay's fingertips. He felt a strange unease as he inspected the letter no sender, no name. With a furrowed brow, he tore open the envelope and unfolded the neatly creased paper.

Letter,

I know ki tum sach Janna chahte ho,tumhari wife ne wo sab kyu kiya tha aur uske peeche uski kya wajah thi aur mai tumhari help kar sakti hu,aaj shaam 7:00 baje mansion ke baahar aajana sab sach pata chal jayega.

( I know that you want to know the truth why your wife did all that and what her reasons were. I can help you. Come outside the mansion at 7:00 PM today, and you will learn everything.)

Yours,

Wellwisher.

Shivaay's eyes scanned the lines again, disbelief tingling up his spine. The handwriting was elegant, the ink a deep blue that contrasted sharply with the white paper.

Shiv( surprised):- Kaun hai ye aur inhe kaise pata ye sab ke baare mai but agar mujhe sach janna hai toh inse milna padega.

( Who is this, and how do they know all this? But if I want to know the truth, I'll have to meet them.)

He folded the letter carefully, placing it in his drawer, his mind now even more clouded with questions.

In the dining table,

The aroma of freshly made parathas filled the air, mingling with the rich scent of masala chai. The Oberoi family gathered for breakfast, the clinking of silverware and the murmur of conversation creating a familiar symphony. But Shivaay's mind was elsewhere, the mysterious letter occupying his thoughts.

Pin:- Puttar kya hua tu kha kyu nahi raha tujhe kisi ki Nazar wazar toh nahi lag gayi na.

( Son, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating? Did someone cast an evil eye on you?)

Shiv:- Mom aisa kuch nahi mujhe office mai zaruri meeting hai mai ja raha hu.

( Mom, it's nothing like that. I have an important meeting at the office. I'm leaving.)

Pin:- Nashta toh karle.

( At least have breakfast.)

Shiv:- Office mai kar lunga.

( I'll eat at the office.)

Without touching his plate, Shivaay stood up and left the table, leaving Pinky frowning in concern.

Pin( muttering):- Jabse ye ladki iss ghar mai wapas aayi hai mera baccha toh dhang se kuch kha hi nahi raha.

( Ever since that girl returned to this house, my child hasn't eaten properly.)
