Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Strategy

At Skand's Haveli

Skand sat beside his uncle, who was still recovering from the emotional shock of Siyanam's threats.

Chacha (grinning weakly):"Skand, let me get back to work now. Sister-in-law, look at him! I'm perfectly fine, and he still won't let me get off this bed!"

Skand's mother (teasingly scolding):"Skand, leave him be!Devar ji, you need to rest. We don't want you fainting again just to prove you're strong!"

Everyone shared a small laugh.

Soon, Skand and his mother left the room quietly to let his uncle rest.

In the Hallway – A New Mission

Skand turned to Gaurav, who stood near the main door with a scroll in his hand.

Skand (focused):"Have you made a complete list of all of Setthi Dhanpala's businesses?"

Gaurav (slightly unsure):"Yes... but what exactly are you planning?"

Skand (eyes filled with fire):"Anyone who dares disrespect my family... who uses power to oppress the weak… I will destroy them. Completely."

Gaurav (concerned):"But how is this connected to his business?"

Skand (calm yet intense):"Setthi Dhanpala is proud of his empire. Fine. Then I will tear that empire down—piece by piece."

Suddenly, a voice echoed from behind—

"No. You will do no such thing!"

It was Chacha, standing at the doorway, still weak but determined.

Chacha (struggling to walk):"You won't do this, Skand. I won't let you walk into fire blinded by revenge."

Skand (coldly):"I've made my decision. No one can stop me now."

Chacha (pleading):"You don't know how powerful they are. We already lost your father to this game once, Skand. I can't lose you too..."

There was silence.

Skand (softly, but firmly):"You've always trusted me, haven't you? Trust me one more time. I won't let anything happen to me—or to us."

Chacha (looking into Skand's eyes):He's not just angry. He's ready. He has grown... more than I imagined.

Chacha (sighing):"Alright. But on one condition — tell me your plan first. If I find it reckless, I'll stop you."

Skand (smirking):"Oh, you won't. Because my plan... is so precise, you'll want me to go ahead with it."

He leans in and begins explaining.

As Skand spoke, his uncle's eyes widened — not with fear, but with admiration. The young boy he raised had become a tactician.

Chacha (thinking):This plan… if it works, Dhanpala won't even see it coming. This boy could actually win…

Narrator:

Skand thought he was crafting a plan for revenge.But what he didn't know... was that this very plan would reshape history itself.
