Early in the morning at 6, Harshad and his mother arrived at the penthouse with only minimal luggage. Neonika welcomed them with a smile and noticed that his mother was weak and unable to walk properly. She instructed Soha to assist them in arranging their things.

Soha assisted his mother as they climbed the steps to the penthouse, with Harshad following closely behind carrying their luggage.

After entering the penthouse, Soha asked his mother, "When are you going to get furniture?"

Harshad thought to himself, "Furniture can wait, I just spent Manik's money on clothes for my mom and myself, and on my mother's medical expenses. And now this girl is asking about furniture, uff!"

And he lied, "We'll get it within one or two days."

Soha said "Okay, today mom will send breakfast and lunch for both of you. You both seem tired, so take some rest."
And She left the penthouse.

Harsad received a message from Manik on his new phone, "Come to XYZ place along with Nandini and Soha"

Karan Varma picked up the phone, surprised to hear Manik's voice on the other end. He greeted him with a cheerful, "Hello! Manik, what a pleasant surprise!"

Karan, I need a favor. Can you come to the bungalow you presented me?" Manik said on the phone to Karan.

"Oh come on Manik," Karan replied, "Instead of calling it 'your bungalow,' why can't you call it 'our home'? It's all yours".

"What did you say, Darling? Can you repeat it? Is this bungalow really mine?" Manik asked with doubt.

"Darling!" Karan exclaimed, surprised by the sudden change in Manik's tone of voice, felt something is fishy

Manik! What are you up to?" Karan asked, his suspicion growing.

"You have a surprise dear, come to my so called Home!" Manik said

Karash stormed out of his car, his face contorted in anger. He barked at his security guards to stay back as he marched towards his home. Once inside, he immediately sought out his lawyer and was surprised to find one of his business clients sitting in the living room with Manik. Confused, Karash glared at the two of them and demanded, "What is going on here? Why are you both here ? The lawyer and client exchanged a nervous glance, clearly aware of Karash's short temper.

Manik simply smirked and said "Finally, the great Karan is here. I think now is the perfect time for me to sign on the documents that state I am selling this bungalow for two crores.

Karan looked at him with anger and disbelief, his mind racing as he tried to understand what was happening. He glared at Manik and snapped, "Manik, have you lost it? What the hell is going on here? Why are you trying to sell this bungalow without my knowledge or consent?"

Manik simply laughed, clearly enjoying the power he held over Karan in this situation.

Karan glared at Manik with disbelief, his anger rising once again.

Manik explained his decision, ''You only named this bungalow after me, I just want the money, that's why I'm selling it,'' as he rolled his eyes.

Karan was taken aback and exclaimed, "Do you think this bungalow is worth just two crores? It's worth two hundred crores, damn it.''

Manik shrugged and replied, 'What would I do with two hundred crores? I only need two crores"

Karan, with a stern expression on his face, glared at the client and lawyer as he firmly stated, "You both just leave."

Without uttering a single word, the client and lawyer obediently left the bungalow, closing the door behind them as they departed.

Manik, why do you need the money? If you had just asked me, I would have provided you with whatever you needed. Why create such a dramatic scene?" Karan asked, his voice filled with anger

Manik, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, responded "You know what, I love drama, exactly like you. It seems to be our way of life."

And why am I asking? I am telling you why I want the money. I just want to do some shopping, if it possible i will go for trip Is that so wrong?".

Karan smirked and said "I know Manik, one day or another you will come back to me. Why just 2 crores? I will give you 20 crores, and if you want more, I will give you more." Karan wrote a cheque for 20 crores and handed it to Manik.

Manik took the cheque, looking at it for a moment "In your dreams"

Karan sighed and replied, "Even I can see that, there are no more days when my dreams come true, any way Enjoy Mr. Manik"

As Karan walked towards his car, his mind raced with thoughts. "I know Manik, one day or another you will come into my world. Money has the power to change anything and everything. I can already see the changes in you and I am happy for it.

"Mr. Karan Varma, where is Mukti?" Manik asked as he walked into the room and saw Karan relaxing while watching TV.

She's in her room," Karan replied to Manik's question. "Shall I call her for you?"

No need," Manik said and walked towards Mukti's room

Karan looked surprised as he watched Manik walk towards Mukti's room. "Things are falling into place," he thought to himself.

As Manik knocked on the door to Mukti's room, she opened it, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of him. "Manik! You're here," she exclaimed. "Which way did the sun rise today for you to come see me?" she asked playfully.

Manik ignored Mukti's playful words and stepped inside her room, closing the door behind him. He got straight to the point, "Do you have photos of Abhimanyu Takkar and Mujataj Begum?" he asked.

Mukti, after searching for a photo of Abhimanyu in the college album, handed the group photo to Manik and said, "I don't have a photo of Muntaz Aunty. She never liked to have her photo taken." She then pointed to Abhimanyu in the photo to show who he was.

"If your Uncle asks about me, and why I came here, you can tell him that I came here to take him on a date tomorrow."

Really?" she says, smiling teasingly.

Oh, come on Mukti, you know about our plan,"

She smiled
