Aaina stood there watching Abir leave, tears streaming down her face. After a moment, she composed herself and went out of the room. In the kitchen, Aaina was making herself coffee. The other servants stood to the side, bowing their heads. Just as Aaina was pouring her coffee, a voice reached her ears, "Can I have some coffee too?"
Aaina turned quickly to see Adil standing there, looking at her.
Feeling hesitant, Aaina replied, "Yes, sure." Saying this, she poured coffee into two mugs, went over to Adil, handed him a mug, and without saying anything else, turned to go back to her room. Aaina had taken just two steps when Adil spoke again.
"Can you sit and have coffee with me?"
Hearing Adil's voice, Aaina paused and turned back to look at him.
Adil said, "I was getting bored alone. Can you talk to me for a bit?"
It had been a year since someone had spoken to Aaina like this, and since it was done with kindness, she couldn't resist and sat on the sofa next to Adil to chat.
Adil asked, "Don't you miss your family?"
Aaina looked at Adil and replied, "I do, I miss them a lot, but I know I can't talk to them."
Adil said, "Why didn't you ever try to run away from here? I mean, Abir tortures you physically and mentally. You could have escaped."
Aaina, expressionless, replied, "I'm here because of what I've done. This is my punishment, and I know that even if I escape, Abir will find me."
Adil said, "You know, Abir's mom left him a long time ago. His dad never had time for him. After his mom's death, there was only one picture that was important to him. Abir's dad remarried after a while, and that woman brought her son along."
Both the mother and son did not like Abir at all; in fact, they hated him. "My friend never received love, so he became like this. He became heartless. He wasn't always like this! He was very happy when he had Tashvi, but because of you, he lost her. You didn't just take Tashvi from him; you took away his happiness and peace!"
He is completely alone now.
Aaina was shocked to hear Adil's words. She couldn't believe that the one who was causing her so much pain, Abir Rajvansh, was himself a victim of hatred and that he was suffering the most over Tashvi.
Just as Aaina was lost in these thoughts, Aditya's phone rang. Adil told Aaina, "I have an important task, so I have to go. You should go to your room and rest." Saying this, Adil left the villa. Aaina also got up and went to her room.

Abir was sitting in his office cabin, focused on his laptop, when suddenly his phone rang. He answered the call and asked, "How long until the drugs arrive?"
On the other end, Sam replied, "Boss, it will reach India by 12 tonight."
Abir said, "Good. Once the ship arrives, you should get the goods to the godown, and make sure there are no mistakes. Alert everyone on the ship, okay?" After cutting the call, Abir returned to his laptop.
The whole day passed like this.

Nighttime came.
The ship had arrived in India, and many people were standing around it. Some were on guard with guns while others were busy loading the drugs. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and everyone became alert.
Immediately, several armed people appeared and started shooting at each other. While others were engaged in the shooting, Billa was focused on securing the drugs. Within moments, many people were dead, and the scene was drenched in blood. Suddenly, someone pointed a gun at Billa from behind, and he froze in place. He turned to see a large, muscular man pointing a gun at him.
Billa, expressionless, said, "Danny is really very stupid to think he can disrupt Abir Rajvansh's work."
The man standing in front of him unlocked his gun and replied, "Death is right in front of you, and you're trying to act tough. The real stupid one here is you."
With a crooked smile, Billa said, "Really..." Just then, a bullet pierced the man's head, and he fell to the ground. Billa turned his head to the side and saw Abir coming over, playing with his gun.
Billa said, "Boss, if you had taken any longer to arrive, I might have met my end."
Billa continued, "I wouldn't let you die that easily. We still have a lot to do. This place needs to be completely cleaned up in half an hour, and send the trucks to the godown." After saying this, Abir left.
Aaina had fallen asleep on the sofa while waiting for Abir. In reality, she had been waiting for him, and as the night grew late, she had fallen asleep without realizing it. When Abir came in, he noticed Aaina asleep on the sofa. He watched her for a moment before leaving her there and going to bed himself.
