Harshad looked over at Manik and stood up, his eyes filled with confidence. He declared, "I think there's no need for us to worry about Nandini's safety anymore, her soon-to-be husband is here."

Nandini shocked and surprised listening Harshad's words.

Harshad's mother was taken aback upon seeing Manik and gasped in shock, "Manik! Is it really you?" She couldn't believe her eyes as she saw the young man standing before her, her thoughts and emotions swirling, remembered manik how he talked with her nicely when she met first time in old home.

Manik approached her with a warm smile, greeting her with a polite "How are you, Aunty?"

She replied, "I'm fine, Manik. It's been such a long time since I've seen you." Her voice was filled with affection as she looked at Manik, her face lit up with joy and happiness.

Harshad interjected, "Mom, I forgot to mention, he's the son of our house owner." To which she replied,

"Oh! Really? He's Soha's elder brother? That is surprising." The realization of Manik's connection to their house and family hit Harshad's mother, and she couldn't help but express her shock and surprise at the newfound knowledge.

Thank you, Harshad, for saving both Soha and Nandini," Manik expressed his gratitude with a sincere smile on his face. He appreciated Harshad's bravery and quick thinking, knowing that without his help, the outcome could have been much different.

Harshad replied with a sense of duty, "That's why you appointed me, Manik. It's my responsibility to make sure everyone is safe and secure under my watch." He took his role seriously, knowing that Manik trusted him to take care of his family and those under his protection. Manik nodded in agreement, proud to have such a trustworthy and responsible person by his side.

Nandini listened intently to the conversation between Manik and Harshad, taking in the exchange and the dynamic between the two men. She could see the mutual respect and trust they had for one another.

After a while of talking, Harshad and his mother graciously left Nandini's home, giving Manik and Nandini some privacy.

Manik approached Nandini, sitting beside her and gently taking her hand in his own. He traced the lines of her knuckles with his thumb before noticing her wounded waist. With a look of concern, he asked, "Are you okay?" His touch was gentle and caring, and Nandini felt a wave of comfort wash over her as she looked into his eyes. She could see the genuine concern in his gaze and felt grateful for his presence.

Nandini smiled and replied, "I'm fine." Manik returned her smile and placed his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close in a protective hug. Nandini felt safe and secure in his embrace, and she couldn't help but think about how lucky she was to have Manik in her life. He was always there for her, providing comfort and protection whenever she needed it. She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, taking a moment to appreciate his presence and the peace that he brought with him.

Manik suddenly remembered something and told Nandini, "Actually, I forgot to mention something to you yesterday. I've been appointed as the CBI special director." She could see the pride in Manik's eyes as he shared the news with her, and she felt grateful to have him in her life.

Nandini was taken aback by Manik's announcement and looked at him with amazement. "Really? That's amazing, Manik!"

She exclaimed. "I had no idea. Congratulations! You must be so proud." Manik smiled, grateful for Nandini's kind words.

Nandini looked at Manik with a serious expression and asked, "Manik, can I ask you something? Who is Karan Varama and why did he trap you?"

Manik spoke with a mix of determination and vulnerability in his voice. "I knew you would ask about this eventually and to be honest, I don't feel ready to discuss it yet. All I want you to know is that I did not do anything wrong and I never will. I need you to have faith in me, to trust that I am a good person who would never betray your trust."

Nandini looked at Manik with a soft expression, sensing the depth of his emotions. "I do believe in you, Manik. And I will always stand by you, no matter what."

Manik felt a rush of gratitude and love for Nandini as he hugged her tightly, grateful for her unwavering support.

After sometime, they both had shared a meal, saying goodnight to Nandini and promising to return the next day. He left, Nandini watched him leave with a heavy heart, still thinking about the strange incident that had happened and what Manik had told her about being a CBI special director. She wondered if their lives would ever be normal . if the truth about Karan Varama and whatever Manik was involved in would ever come to light. Regardless, Nandini knew that she would always stand by Manik, supporting him through thick and thin. She finally went to bed,

Upon dropping Mukti off at home after picking her up from the hospital, Manik was met by Karan, who stepped out of the car and said, "Manik, we have to have a conversation."

Karan instructed Mukti to go to her room, and she complied by nodding her head and walking away.

Manik and Karan walk to Karan's room which is lavishly royal with all the luxurious to discuss.

Manik and Karan walked to Karan's room, which was a lavish and royal space with all the luxurious furnishings. The room was designed to make anyone who entered feel like royalty. The two of them entered the room to have a discussion.

Manik, I don't care if you roam with any kind of girl, I don't care even if you sleep with any girl," Karan warned Manik sternly. "But you should marry Mukti," he added, emphasizing the importance of this union. The firm tone in Karan's voice made it clear that this was not a suggestion, but rather a demand.

As Manik turned to go, ignoring Karan's warning about marrying Mukti, he was taken aback by Karan's next words. "What's that girl's name, Nandini? I like to have her on my bed," Karan said with a smirk. Manik's fists clenched at these disrespectful and crude remarks. He felt a surge of anger boil inside of him at the thought of someone talking about a girl in such a demeaning and objectifying manner. he took a deep breath, unclenched his fists, and trying to control his rage.

How about if i have her tonight, i have seen her, do you enjoyed her last night, i will get her to night at any cost, after spending on her on my bed , i will tell my experience, i don't mind share her with you"

Manik, in a fit of anger, clenched his fist and delivered a forceful punch to Karan, grabbing him by the collar in a menacing manner."I kill you baster"

Mind your language manik, i am your Father.
