That following day in the middle of the night when tripura was reading a book her phone beeped so she grabbed it and saw a massage

W : I am going meet Karan tomorrow if you really want to know about his whereabouts be there on time i will text you the time and place soon

After she read that tripura got so anxious she thought may be there is something really serious happend otherwise why would Karan agreed to meet that women

And that night she couldn't sleep for a moment her curiosity was piqued after receiving the massage

Restlessness kept her awake throughout the night, her mind racing with thoughts and questions about what the future might hold

Anticipation filled her as morning arrived, her daughter's departure leaving her eagerly awaiting another massage. Unable to sit still, she paced around the house, her thoughts consumed by the prospect of what the next massage might reveal.

Then finally her phone rang so she rushed to grab it but it was Karan so she recived the call

T : Hello !

K : Hey good morning so what's my beautiful wife doing right now ?

Tripura tried to calm her voice and said

T : Nothing kiara just left so I was just cleaning her stuff what about you ?

K : I am on my way to the university , i have back to back classes today

T : Dont forget to get your lunch and your medicines Karan

K : Oh yes I will have them on time don't worry

T : Okay then

K : Dont you have anything more to ask ?

When karan said that tripura became so baffled but she said

T : What? What should I ask more ?

Then Karan stayed silent for a moment and said

K : Nothing I am reached already will catch you later

Then he hung up the call

Just after she put her phone back on its place it beeped again and she recived a massage

She reached to the place before the time it was in the city so she stayed a little distant from the restaurant just to hid herself from Karan

And after sometime she saw karan went inside the restaurant and that's when she got really shocked but just then her phone rang so she recived the call and put it on mute she was waiting there a sense of impending seriousness weighed on her, causing her heart to race with unease

Then she heard karan's voice he said

K : Dont beat arround bush just cut to the chase how much you want to stop anisha

Anisha chuckled sarcastically

A : Do you think money can buy me ? Where the hell is my sister what have you done to her

K : Your sister ?

A : Dont try to trick me mr khanna I know you both were together in last two years

Listening to their conversation intensified her nervousness and curiosity with each passing second. The snippets of dialogue only fueled her apprehension, leaving her even more eager to know the outcome

She was waiting for Karan to admit something but just then something weird happened

Karan smirked at anisha

K : What do you think ? Don't try to put the blame on me Anisha she wasn't even my student how I supposed to know her I came here today because you kept on trying to spoil my position but I don't care but how dare you drag my wife into this why did you approach her

Anisha got so surprised when he said that

K : Listen she isn't like you and she is having so many issues don't put her into this I can't let her suffer so please if you want to extract money then go on but don't bother my family

Then he stood up and left the place in the car tripura hung up the call imidiately

She saw karan went to his car and left the place and after sometime anisha came outside so tripura pulled her car infront of her

Then she came outside

T : I think I have heard enough isn't it anisha that's what your name right ?

A : Dont get yourself fooled by that man actually I underestimated him he is way more dangerous

T : Shut up ! I am not going to let it slide after this I know you are going through something but how brazen you could be you are making money out of your missing sister I just don't this belive

Anyway I hope this is the last time we are seeing each other

Then she went inside the car and left

When tripura reached back to home after she stepped outside of her car she saw karan's car was already there

She took a deep breath and was also dithering to went inside but she went to rang the bell

And Karan opened the door in sometime

K : Where have you been ?

T : I went to the city

K : How could you forget about kiara she stayed all these time at mia's place when you didn't recived her call she was forced to call me

And tripura finally realised that she forgot about her daughter and made the mistake

This unexpected turn of events added another layer of complexity to her already tumultuous emotions.

So she went inside and straight go to her room after sometime Karan came there and he locked the room she turned arround

And before Karan could ask her any further she said

T : I am sorry Karan I have caused you trouble today I am really

K : You know what I didn't mind that I had to came here for kiara today but I got hurt that you doubted me

Tripura shighed

T : I didn't wanted to I am really sorry

His words hit her like a wave of embarrassment and regret. The realization that her doubts had hurt him left her feeling deeply ashamed. In that moment, she found herself in a complex emotional state, torn between her curiosity and the unintentional pain she had caused

She covered her face in shame so karan came to her and hold her in his arms

K : You don't have to be it wasn't your fault I know how desperate she was about the money I don't wanted to blame you either I just wanted to warn you from these kind people

After she broke the hug he continued

K : I wouldn't even know but I think you the picture of avisha at the balcony that night I had to put an end to this

T : I am feeling very guilty Karan I didn't wanted to do it

K : I said it fine right so you don't have to feel sorry

Well I have made some jasmine tea for you have it and get some sleep

T : What about kiara ?

K : She had her dinner and went to sleep already but do you want anything ? I mean i forgot to ask you that

T : No just stay here with me I am not feeling hungry

K : But before that have this tea you will feel relaxed

After that he left the room so tripura swig up the tea

T : Agh it feels nice

After finished the tea she went to the bed and sat there then she grabbed her phone and deleted all the massages from anisha just then Karan came there and sat next to her

K : How are you feeling now ?

T : Quite well

Then she leaned herself on her chest and Karan encircled his hand arround him

In the gentle afterglow of their conversation, he drew her close, his touch tender and deliberate. Fingertips danced along the curves of her neck, leaving a trail of shivers in their wake. Every caress was a symphony of affection, a silent declaration of his love as he traced the contours of her skin, forging an intimate connection that spoke volumes without uttering a word.
