As Nakul wrestled with his emotions, Pradyuman was burdened with a secret he hadn't shared with anyone, not even Abhijeet. During the final moments of Nakul's labor, when the curse threatened to claim his son's life, Pradyuman had made a deal—a silent, desperate pact with the supernatural forces that controlled the curse. In exchange for saving Nakul, he had agreed to bear a different kind of burden: the child would carry the remnants of the curse within them.
The child was no ordinary human. They were tied to the ancient curse that had haunted Pradyuman's bloodline for generations. Though the immediate threat to Nakul was over, the child's future held dangerous potential. Pradyuman had to find a way to protect his son from this truth, at least until the time was right.
But every time Pradyuman looked at the child, he saw the subtle signs—the unnatural stillness when the baby slept, the way the air seemed to grow cold in the room, the strange dreams that filled even his mind when he stood too close to the crib. The child wasn't evil, but they were not of this world.
He kept these fears to himself, but the weight of the secret was crushing him. He feared for the day Nakul would discover the truth.
