As the months passed, the child's powers became more evident. At first, it was small things—flickering lights, moving objects. But soon, the child started displaying abilities that frightened everyone around them. The baby could make things happen with just a thought: toys levitated, doors opened without a touch, and sometimes, strange visions would cloud the minds of those near the child.
Pradyuman tried to maintain control, keeping the truth hidden from the outside world. He consulted old contacts, experts in the paranormal and ancient lore, hoping to find a way to manage the child's growing power. But the more he learned, the more he realized that this power could not be easily contained.
Abhijeet, though shaken, stood by Nakul's side through it all. But even he started noticing the changes. The baby was no ordinary human. And though Abhijeet didn't want to say it out loud, he could sense that Nakul was right to be afraid.
One night, as the baby lay asleep in its crib, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped. Nakul, who had been watching from the doorway, saw the baby's eyes snap open. For the first time, the child smiled—a small, almost sinister smile.
"Papa," the baby whispered again, its voice more distinct than before.
Nakul froze. This was no ordinary child.
