Saanvi's Confession

Murthy hesitated before speaking, "Sir, she is the former collector's daughter, and recently she's been seen with Raj. Maybe she is his girlfriend. And one more thing—she was going to marry Krishna before, but she broke off the engagement."

Daya's eyes lit up with malicious glee. "Oh, ho... I was wondering why Raj killed Krishna. Every crime has a motive. So, his motive was Krishna's girlfriend, or maybe she's involved in killing Krishna too. Ha... ha... Murthy, this is excellent news. I've found his weakness. I am going to take my revenge."

Murthy felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Daya's unsettling laughter. He couldn't shake the feeling that things were about to get very dangerous.

"But first, let's reconcile with Saanvi. Because of him, she is getting farther away from me," Daya said.

-----------------

At Saanvi's place, Daya tried to keep his tone gentle. "Saanvi, lately I've noticed that you are avoiding me. Can you please tell me why? Last time, I was a little busy, so I left in a hurry. I don't like you avoiding me. Please, can you tell me what's going on?"

He knew the exact reason but wanted her to say it, guiding the conversation in that direction without mentioning that Raj had already told him. He wanted to avoid giving Raj any credit.

Saanvi initially remained silent, but as Daya persisted, she finally burst out, "Sir, I thought you were an honest inspector. I've discovered that you're corrupt, working for Vasu, and exploiting the poor people you should be protecting."

Daya responded, "That's a lie! Who told you that?"

Saanvi's voice trembled with emotion as she replied, "I saw it with my own eyes. I witnessed you taking Venkat ji's property for Vasu and ordering the kidnapping of his granddaughter. It's despicable. I thought you were an honest man, but you're not."

Daya's tone shifted to a secretive one as he explained, "Oh, about that, if I didn't intervene, Vasu would have killed Venkat ji and his granddaughter. Actually, I can't say much. Saanvi, just for you to know, I'm on a secret mission. I'm working to gain Vasu's trust so I can gather evidence against him. These tasks are part of that plan."

Drawing closer to her, Daya continued, "You know how it is with secrets. Please, keep this quiet." Hearing this, Saanvi's expression also softened Daya notice that, he was also smiling inwardly.

"If it is true, then when are you going to return Venkat ji's property and arrest Vasu?" Raj intervened, his voice calm but firm. He had anticipated that Daya would come here for Saanvi, so he had stationed his people around her. When they informed Raj of Daya's arrival, he immediately rushed to the scene.

Daya, hearing Raj's voice, was frustrated. With gritted teeth, fueled by anger, he blurted out, "Why are you here? You broke up with her, and...?"

Saanvi, interrupting Daya, intervened, "What do you mean by 'broke up with her'? How do you know about it?" Daya realized his mistake and fell silent for a moment.

Saanvi then asked, "Sir, can you explain to me how you know that we broke up?" Daya cursed himself for his slip and finally admitted, "I... I was with raj when he called you."

Saanvi looked at Raj, who nodded in approval, confirming Daya's words. Suspicion crept into Saanvi's mind. She thought Daya might have forced Raj breakup with her, not knowing that they faked there relationship, Turning to Daya, she repeated Raj's question, "So, when are you going to return Venkaji's property and arrest Vasu?"

Daya, cursing himself, muttered, "Soon... soon I will arrest Vasu and return the property to Venkaji." Realizing that Saanvi had become suspicious of him, he decided to leave the scene and ponder over how to counterattack Raj. He held a trump card named Sneha, but he needed solid evidence of their relationship and crimes. At that moment, he regretted deleting the video footage, but how could he have known that Raj would intervene in his life like this?

When Daya left, Saanvi approached Raj and hugged him tightly. "Did he force you to say that? Did he force you to break up with me?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion.

Raj gently held her and replied, "Does it matter? We were never actually in a relationship."

Saanvi's heart sank at his words, but she couldn't find the right argument to counter Raj's statement. Drawing closer to him, she stood on her toes, cupped his chin in her hand, and kissed his cheek softly, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. Finally, she mustered the courage to reveal her feelings for Raj. She realized her mother was right—she shouldn't miss the chance to be with the perfect man for her.

Feeling embarrassed, Saanvi turned to leave, but Raj reached out and gently pulled her towards him. With a tender hold, he pressed his lips against hers in a kiss. Then, looking into her eyes, he said softly, "If someone gives me something, I always return it with interest."

"Ding, You have received 20 destiny points for making place in destiny girls heart."

As he was hugging her he called status window on his mind :

Saanvi was contemplating while Raj hugged her, checking his status and upgrading it. "I know you like me too, Raj, but my mother might come soon."

Raj, coming out of his thoughts, released Saanvi from the hug. "Saanvi, I want to show you something."

-----------------

At the hospital, Deepti recounted her harrowing experience to her sister, Laxmi, while their mother listened, holding back tears.

"Raj, why are we at the hospital?" Saanvi asked.

"I wanted to show you something," Raj replied. "Do you know that when Daya first came to Vizag, his first task was to release Vasu's brothers? On that same day, they kidnapped a girl and abused her, tormenting her for days. When I found out, I hired some men to rescue her. We're meeting her now."

As he finished speaking, they entered the room where Deepti, Laxmi, and their mother were.

Raj had come to the hospital the day before as well, but at that time, Laxmi and her mother weren't present. As Raj entered the room, Deepti introduced him, saying, "This is the man who saved my life." Both Laxmi and their mother were deeply grateful and thanked Raj profusely.

Seeing the situation, Saanvi became emotional. She began talking with them, and they explained Deepti's harrowing ordeal. As she listened, a chill ran down her spine, realizing that Daya, who was involved with Vasu's brothers, could have subjected her to a similar fate.

Meanwhile, Raj was outside, talking to the doctors about Deepti's condition.

As the conversation continued, Laxmi turned to Saanvi and said, "You are really lucky to have him," glancing at Raj.

Saanvi looked at Raj, seeing a side of him she hadn't fully appreciated before. She was relieved she had avoided Daya and felt fortunate to have chosen Raj.

"Ding, you have received 10 destiny points for making a destined girl's heart move."

Deepti's mother said. "I filed a missing person's report, but the inspector just said she ran away with her friend. I didn't believe him, and now I know I was right. She's been through so much."

"That would be Inspector Daya," Raj intervened entering the room again, "He was the one who released Vasu's brothers when he was transferred here. And on the same day, they kidnapped your daughter."

Deepti's mother looked horrified and angry, but Raj continued, "For now, please don't take any action against him. My men are gathering more evidence against him. I have some proof of his corruption, but it's not enough to put him in jail yet."

Raj's men had already collected substantial evidence against Daya, but Raj was more interested in collecting destiny points for now. He knew patience was key.

Taking Saanvi outside, Raj gives her a task. Which she readily accepts, eager to help someone in need.
