Chapter 3 - A Rift in the Family

One night, Arjun used the lantern on Ravi while he slept. To his horror, he saw Ravi meeting a woman in the forest. Enraged, Arjun confronted him in front of the family.

"How could you do this to us?!" Arjun shouted.

Ravi was taken aback. "You don't understand," he stammered.

"No, I don't! But this lantern does," Arjun retorted, throwing the lantern's glow on Ravi again.

Meena, devastated, began packing her belongings. "I trusted you, Ravi. How could you betray me?" she cried.

Maya, the youngest, intervened. "Maybe the lantern isn't showing everything," she said softly. "What if it's only part of the truth?"

Her words struck a chord, and the family decided to seek the whole story.
