Abhi, brimming with excitement, approached Gowthami. "You’re an inspiration to me in the business world," he said, his voice full of admiration. "I’ve heard so much about you, but no one knows what you look like. You’ve been a mystery to everyone."
Ram nodded in agreement, equally enthusiastic. "Yes, Gowthami. Your strategies and achievements are legendary. It's incredible to realize that the person we've admired from afar is part of our family." Gowthami looked at them, a mix of surprise and humility in her eyes. She had no memory of the achievements they spoke of, but seeing their genuine admiration and respect made her feel a sense of pride she couldn’t fully explain. The mystery surrounding her identity, once a source of confusion, now felt like a testament to the remarkable person she had been. With her family and friends surrounding her, Gowthami felt a newfound resolve to uncover her past and reclaiGnapika sat in her room, lost in thought, her mind a whirlwind of confusion and betrayal. Her thoughts kept circling back to Rajeev, the brother she had trusted. How could he have betrayed her so cruelly? The more she thought about it, the deeper her hurt grew. Meera walked into the room and saw her daughter’s troubled expression. She approached Gnapika gently. "What are you thinking about, my dear?" she asked softly. Gnapika looked up, her eyes clouded with sorrow. "I was fooled by Rajeev," she said, her voice trembling. "I believed him. I treated him like a brother, but he actually wanted to harm me." Meera sat down beside her, her own heart heavy with doubt and uncertainty. She had seen the pain in Rajeev’s eyes, the sincerity in his pleas. It was hard to reconcile the Rajeev she knew with the image of a ruthless kidnapper. "Gnapika, I understand how you feel," Meera began carefully. "But we don’t have all the answers ye
Gowthami rarely attended her office in person, preferring to manage her responsibilities remotely from wherever she stayed. For the last three months, her absence had gone largely unnoticed thanks to Rudra, who had taken over her tasks seamlessly in her and Athreya's absence. However, rumors had begun to swirl within the Kesari Group of Industries. Whispers spread that Athreya was dead and that Gowthami was missing. This sudden uncertainty created a ripple of anxiety among the board members, who sensed an opportunity amidst the chaos. In a hushed, dimly lit conference room, the board members gathered for a secret meeting. The atmosphere was thick with tension and anticipation as they took their seats around the long, polished table. One of the senior board members, Mr. Kapoor, cleared his throat and began, "We've all heard the rumors. Athreya is dead, and Gowthami is nowhere to be found. The company's leadership is in
Ram looked at Gowthami in disbelief, his eyes wide with admiration. "That was incredible, Gowthami," he said, shaking his head in amazement. "You should try acting in movies with a performance like that." Gowthami allowed herself a small, modest smile. She knew she had handled the meeting well, but the credit wasn’t entirely hers. Nand, who stood quietly by her side, had prepared her thoroughly for this moment. In the days leading up to the meeting, he had meticulously instructed her on how to speak, how to carry herself, and how to command the room with the confidence and poise that Sakshi had once embodied. Before she lost her memories, Gowthami had been a force to be reckoned with as Sakshi, a name that inspired respect and a hint of fear in the business world. Nand had reminded her of that strength, explaining in detail the persona she once projected. He recounted stories of her strategic brilliance, her unwavering confidence, and her ab
Gowthami looked around the room, taking in the surroundings that now supposedly belonged to her. It was a spacious office, tastefully decorated with modern furnishings and large windows offering a panoramic view of the city skyline. The walls were adorned with framed certificates and accolades, a testament to the achievements of the company under her leadership as Sakshi. The desk was an imposing mahogany piece, meticulously organized with a computer, files neatly stacked, and a sleek smartphone resting on a charging dock. A plush leather chair sat behind the desk, inviting yet commanding, embodying the authority that came with her role. Nand stepped forward, confirming her inquiry. "Yes, Gowthami, this is your office now." As they stood together in the office, Ram couldn't help but ask about Nand's role in the company. "What exactly is your position here, Nand?" Nand paused for a moment, his expression serious yet tinged w
Ram observed the sudden shift in Nand's behavior with keen interest, his curiosity piqued. Though he hadn’t managed to get a clear look at the person entering the office, the urgency in Nand’s actions was unmistakable. He chose to remain silent, trusting that Nand had a good reason for his haste. Inside the office, Nand quickly settled Gowthami at her desk, directing her attention to some documents. "Please review these, Gowthami. I'll be right back," he said, masking his concern with a professional tone. Gowthami nodded, engrossed in the paperwork as Nand excused himself. "I need to use the washroom," Nand murmured, slipping out of the office. Ram, sensing something amiss, decided to follow Nand. He trailed him silently down the corridor, catching up with him just as Nand reached the restrooms. "Nand," Ram called softly, his voice tinged with concern. "What's going on? Why the sudden urgency? Who was that person?"
Rajeev's disappointment was palpable as he looked at his father. His shoulders slumped, and his eyes were filled with a mix of hurt and confusion. "Dad," he began, his voice heavy with emotion, "why did you do a parental test on Gnapika? Did you not trust Mom? Did you think she wasn’t faithful?" Rudra felt a pang of guilt seeing the pain in his son's eyes. He understood how Rajeev could misinterpret his actions, but the truth was far from what Rajeev imagined. He took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "Rajeev, you’ve got it all wrong," he said, his tone earnest and reassuring. "I trust your mother more than anyone else in this world. The test wasn’t about questioning her faithfulness." Rajeev's brow furrowed as he tried to process his father's words. Rudra continued, "The reason I did the test was to prove to Gnapika that she is indeed my daughter. She's been shown a photo of another man, leading her to believe he might be her father. I knew
Ram immediately left Gowthami's office, his mind racing with urgency. Ram wasted no time. He strode purposefully through the halls of the company, his mind racing with the revelation he had just pieced together. Finding Nand in the tech office, hunched over his computer screens, Ram approached him with urgency.. "Nand," Ram called out, his voice low but insistent. "I need to talk to you. Now." Nand turned, and looked up, surprised by Ram's intensity. "What is it?" Nand asked, sensing the gravity of the situation. Ram took a deep breath, steadying himself. "I saw that person who tried to enter the company today. I've seen him before. At Rajeev's wedding, with a wounded hand. He took shelter in Baladitya's house, and we suspected he was responsible for the attack on Baladitya. You need to tell me the truth. Who is he? What's his connection to Gowthami?" Nand's face
The first light of dawn broke over the horizon, casting a soft golden glow across the landscape. Birds chirped melodiously, welcoming the new day with their cheerful tunes. The air was crisp and fresh, carrying the subtle scent of dew-kissed grass and blooming flowers. The world seemed to be awakening slowly, with a gentle rustle of leaves in the trees and the distant hum of early morning activity. Gnapika woke up early, stretching her body and feeling the pleasant ache of a good night's sleep. She stood by the window for a moment, taking in the serene beauty of the morning before getting dressed for her jog. The cool morning air filled her lungs as she slipped into her running shoes and pulled on her jogging outfit. "Bye, Mom," she said softly, glancing at her mother, Meera, who was deeply immersed in her morning meditation. Meera nodded slightly, acknowledging her daughter's departure without breaking her meditative focus.
