Chapter 70 – Vikram's Confession Time Or Manipulation time
The evening Bharath and Mirnaa arrived together in the Thar.
Mirnaa stepped out first, saree slightly rumpled from the long day, her face carrying a quiet shadow.
She had been replaying the afternoon conversation in her mind — the way Bharath’s hand had caught hers, the plea to keep secrets, the mention of Manya.
She felt guilty. I hurt him, she thought. I didn’t consider his feelings.
Bharath followed, expression neutral, but his eyes flicked to her once — brief, assessing.
They entered the house.
Vikram was in the hall, phone off, waiting.
Dinner was simple — rice, rasam, vegetable poriyal. Mirnaa served silently. Bharath ate quietly. Vikram watched both of them, sensing the shift but not yet understanding it.
After dinner, Vikram and Mirnaa retreated to their bedroom. The routine was the same — lights low, her in the pale lavender nighty, him in shorts. She crawled onto the bed, rested her head on his chest, fingers tracing the familiar patch of hair.
But tonight, she was distant — lost in thought.
Vikram felt it immediately.
But he was in different trouble or pressure.
Vikram had been upset all day. Everything was progressing as planned — consignments moving, Bharath delivering — but the speed was unnerving. Bharath’s push this afternoon had cornered him. The Dubai trip next week was real now — Krish had confirmed it. Vikram couldn’t risk Bharath doubting his commitment. He had to manage the scenario. Keep Bharath in line. Keep Mirnaa safe.
He realize he cannot hold control of Bharath as he was becoming more demanding as his job gets tighter there
He fixed a timeline Give something to Bharath, keep him engaged , go to dubai get all strings ready, get back, make bharath to unplug at aadahrsh place, as soon as he get exposed him to aadahrsh, he will safely remove Mirna from the play. But to what extend he had to allow him to Mirna remained the question But he was sure, Bharat will get nothing except for some kiss or hug.,
