Riya leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder. "We'll protect her, Nakul," she murmured. "We'll keep her safe from whatever this is."
Nakul nodded, but his mind was already racing. The curse had taken so much from him already—his peace, his family's safety, and now it threatened the one thing he held most dear: his daughter. He had to figure out what it wanted, what its purpose was. But how?
The air in the room suddenly felt colder, as if the curse had heard their words and responded. Aisha stirred in her crib, her tiny face scrunching up as if sensing the unease in the air.
Nakul stood up, walking over to her and gently stroking her head. "No matter what happens," he whispered to her, "I will always protect you. I promise."
Riya joined him, standing beside the crib and placing her hand over Nakul's. Together, they stood as a united front, determined to face whatever mystery or darkness still lingered. They didn't have all the answers yet, but they had each other, and they had their daughter.
The shadow of the curse might still hang over them, but as long as they were together, Nakul knew they could fight it. Their love was strong enough to overcome any darkness, and with Aisha in their arms, they had hope for a brighter future—even if the path ahead was still shrouded in mystery.
