Determined to confront Kabir, Aanya returned to the police station with her findings. Raj listened intently as she explained everything—the yearbook, the hidden messages, the unsettling realization that Kabir had been setting this up for years.
"I think he's waiting for me to make a move," Aanya said, her voice steady despite the fear gnawing at her insides. "He wants me to find him."
Raj frowned. "You're right. This isn't about chance anymore—he's drawing you in, playing a long game. But we don't know why, and that's what makes him dangerous."
Aanya nodded. "So, what do we do?"
Raj leaned forward, his expression hard. "We turn the game around. If he's been controlling everything, it's time to take control back. But Aanya, you need to be prepared. Kabir isn't going to make this easy."
They spent hours strategizing. Raj suggested keeping their next steps quiet, to prevent Kabir from predicting their moves. Aanya would act as bait, pretending to follow his clues, but they would be ready for him at every turn. It was risky—Aanya knew she was putting herself in danger—but it was the only way to force Kabir out of the shadows.
As they finalized their plan, Aanya felt a strange sense of resolve wash over her. She had spent too long being afraid, letting Kabir dictate the terms of her life. Now, it was her turn to take control.
