"Sometimes, the deepest wounds aren’t the ones the world can see they’re the ones carved quietly inside, where no light reaches. But even in that darkness, if someone holds your hand and doesn’t let go, maybe, just maybe, you find a way to breathe again."

"Nirvaan, abhi ghar aao."

Abhimaan’s voice thundered through the phone gritted teeth barely containing his fury.

["Nirvaan, come home right now."]

"Papa, abhi nahi aa sakta--"

["Dad, I can't right now—"]

"MAINE KAHA NA, GHAR AAO!”/"
Abhimaan roared, his voice sharp as a whip.The sound echoed through the grand halls of the Raichand mansion, making every family member freeze where they stood.

["I SAID, COME HOME!"]

Nirvaan exhaled slowly, jaw tightening, and disconnected the call.
His gaze shifted to Nishant, who gave a silent nod he understood.

They both turned to the man tied to the chair in front of them.

The reporter’s face was already bruised, blood caked around his mouth, and yet he still trembled not just from the pain, but from the rage in Nirvaan’s eyes.

Nirvaan grabbed the microphone lying nearby and jammed it against the man’s face. "Aaahh!" the man howled, the metal striking his cheekbone.

Nirvaan didn’t flinch.

The memory was still burning in his mind her flinching, stumbling backward, as this same man had shoved the microphone at her like a weapon.

Her eyes filled with panic, her lips trembling… and this bastard didn’t stop.

"KAR NA REPORTING. CHAL, UTH—AA CHAL KAR!"

["Do your damn reporting. Come on, get up—move!"]

"Bahut shauk hai na tujhe?"

["You love doing this, don’t you?"]

Nirvaan snapped the ropes off the man and stepped back, eyes cold and dead.

"Utha mike," he ordered, sinking into a chair, legs spread, like a judge awaiting a confession.

["Pick up the mic."]
