A new day dawned, casting shadows that intertwined fate and choices. Tara, determined to forge ahead with the mansion's transformation, orchestrated the cleanup, guiding the workers with fervor. Amidst the tasks, Devraj sought her, finding a peculiar solace in witnessing her commitment to the project.

In an unexpected encounter, Devraj seized Tara's wrist firmly, questioning her methods with a smirk. "Tara Mam, apko kis hisab se mein kaam dun aur bharosa karun jabhi bharosa karta hun ap tod deti hein," he declared, leaving Tara perplexed.

Tara retorted, seeking clarity, "Ap kya bol rahe hain Mr. Mallick, zara saf saf bolenge?"

"Apko kuch files pe kaam karne ke liye diya tha woh kahan hai, aur ye ap haveli ki saf safai kisse puch ke karwa rahi hain?" Devraj pressed on, maintaining his enigmatic demeanor.

"Mr. Mallick, kabhi apne gusse ko side mein rakh ke kuch kaam kijiye, toh sab kaam thik se hoga," Tara responded with a touch of defiance.

He left, nonchalant, leaving Tara to grapple with her thoughts. "Ye Mr. Mallick hamesha khadoos kyun rehete hain?" she pondered.

As night fell, Tara's concern deepened when Devraj didn't return home. Upon his drunken arrival, she questioned, "Mr. Mallick, ye apne apna kya haal bana rakha hai?"

In a humbling tone, he dismissed her, "Tara Mam, ap meri zindagi se dur rahiye, ap meri assistant hai, biwi nahi jo mujhe sawal kare."

"Ap thik se chal bhi nahi pa rahe hain, insaniyat ke nate madat kar rahi hun," Tara retorted, her worry palpable.

Yet, as Devraj became more vulnerable, Tara assisted him to their room. In a surprising turn, he handcuffed her, proclaiming, "Mein behosh hoke bhi janta hun mein kya kar raha hoon, mein toh bas anjam dikha raha hoon apke himmat ka."

The room echoed with the clinks of metal, setting the stage for a night where shadows intertwined with unveiled demons, leaving Tara in a state of shock and tangled uncertainties.
