TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 48

MANIK’S CABIN

Cabir: Here you go, Manik, the culprit you were looking for!

Arjun: Excuse me, you guys can’t just drag me like this!!!

Manik: What, you think, Arjun, that after doing all those things, you’ll escape from us?

Arjun: What do you mean?

Manik: Just look at that girl, and you’ll understand what I mean...

Only then did Arjun see Sujatha standing there...

Arjun: Who is this girl? I don’t even know her!

Everyone was shocked... Sujatha was taken aback when Arjun said he didn’t know her... She almost lost her balance, but luckily Nandini was beside her and quickly held her...

Manik: So, you really don’t know who she is?

Arjun: Yes, I don’t even know her... Now that everything is cleared, I’m leaving!

Arjun said, avoiding Sujatha’s eyes, and tried to leave, but Cabir grabbed him...

Cabir: Not so fast, Arjun!

Manik: So, you won’t confess, right...

Arjun: Confess what when there’s nothing to confess!

Arjun’s response only fueled Manik’s anger...

Manik: Then don’t blame me for this...

Manik started punching him in the stomach...

Nandini didn’t stop Manik, as she herself felt like punching Arjun for what he did to Sujatha, but she thought it was more important to be with Sujatha now...

Arjun shouted in pain... Manik stopped and asked again...

Manik: Even now, you don’t know her?

Arjun: I know her, but Harshad sir warned me not to recognize Sujatha in front of you guys... It’s not my fault, please let me go!

Cabir: We’ll let you go if you confess everything...

Arjun stayed silent, refusing to speak, so Manik punched him again...

Arjun: Please don’t punch me... I’ll confess everything!

Manik: Okay, this is your last chance to spill it all!

Arjun: Harshad sir asked me to steal the design by getting close to Sujatha, and when I objected, he threatened to fire me... My job is crucial because my family depends on my salary, so I did what he asked... I’m sorry, I was helpless... Please forgive me!

Arjun confessed to Manik... Sujatha gave Arjun a disgusted look...

Manik: I’m not the one you should ask for forgiveness, but Sujatha!

Arjun approached Sujatha, who was now glaring at him angrily...

Arjun: I’m sorry, Sujatha! Please forgive me!

That was it—Sujatha slapped him...

Sujatha: This slap is for breaking my trust... I believed everything you said, but you were lying the whole time just to steal the design!

Arjun: Believe me, Sujatha, I never wanted to do it, but I was helpless... I couldn’t lose my job...

Sujatha slapped him again...

Sujatha: I don’t want to hear your pathetic explanations... You mean nothing to me! Do you get that?

Manik: So, Sujatha, tell me, what punishment do you want to give him? Should we hand him over to the police?
