Rambh asked Iren, "How?"
Iren explained, "In our realm, there is a poisonous snake creature called Nargas. He has the power to absorb any poison into himself. But in return, he will demand something valuable."
Rambh immediately said, "Anything."
Iren looked at him seriously and replied, "Only Nargas can decide that."
After convincing Rambh, Iren brought him to Nargas.
Meanwhile, when Arin returned and saw Aaika's condition, he completely lost control over himself. Aaika's entire body had turned blue, and even her heartbeat had almost stopped. Seeing her like that, Arin himself collapsed unconscious. Ravier somehow handled him, but when Arin woke up, he suffered a panic attack.
At the same time, Rambh and Iren reached Nargas.
Nargas hissed as he appeared before them.
Rambh stepped forward and said,
"You want poison, don't you? Then remove it from my daughter's body."
Nargas smirked and replied,
"I never do anything for free. I want a price."
Rambh asked angrily, "What do you want?"
Nargas smiled wickedly.
"Your daughter is extremely beautiful. Anyone would lose themselves just by looking at her. After I remove the poison from her body… I want to marry her."
Rambh's anger exploded instantly.
"You disgusting snake! My daughter and you? Never!"
He turned away furiously and walked out.
But Iren stopped him and tried to calm him down.
"For now, just agree to it. Once Aaika is safe, we can kill him later. Right now, her life matters more."
Even after hearing this, Rambh was still unwilling. But after Iren convinced him again and again, he finally agreed.
Soon, Nargas arrived at the hospital.
Rambh told the doctors,
"I want to meet my daughter alone for a while."
The doctors agreed and left the room.
Nargas moved near Aaika and slowly began absorbing the poison from her body. Within moments, all the poison disappeared from her veins, and Aaika's body slowly returned to normal.
A few moments later, Aaika opened her eyes.
The first person she saw was Rambh.
Tears immediately filled her eyes, and she started crying. Seeing Aaika cry like that melted Rambh's heart completely. He gently placed his hand on her head and pulled her close.
At that moment, Nargas spoke proudly,
"I fulfilled my part of the deal. Now it's your turn."
Aaika looked confused.
"What deal?"
For a moment, Rambh stayed silent.
Then Nargas himself answered,
"To save your life, your father agreed to marry you to me."
Aaika froze in shock.
Then anger filled her eyes.
"Have you ever looked at yourself? I would never marry someone like you!"
She tried to stand up immediately, but Rambh stopped her.
"Nargas, return to the demon realm. Aaika and I will come later."
Nargas laughed proudly and disappeared.
Aaika looked at Rambh angrily.
"What was that, Father? How could you do this? I can never stay with him!"
Rambh spoke calmly,
"And do you think I would allow that? Saving your life was important. That's why I agreed. But if he does not stay alive… then there will be no marriage."
Aaika finally understood his meaning and calmed down slightly.
Just then, the doctors entered the room. Seeing Aaika perfectly fine shocked them completely.
"This is impossible…"
Before they could question further, Iren calmly said,
"It was because of a special medicine from our ancient healers."
At that moment, Arin also entered the room.
He could barely even walk properly. Somehow controlling himself, he reached Aaika's bedside. His voice refused to come out, and tears filled his eyes as he looked at her.
Rambh silently noticed everything.
Then Arin finally spoke in a painful voice,
"Why did you go there? If something had happened to you… what would I have done?"
Aaika looked at him quietly and asked,
"Why does it matter to you whether I live or die?"
Arin went silent for a few seconds.
Then, with pain clearly visible in his eyes, he finally said,
"Because I love you."
Hearing this, Rambh felt deeply satisfied inside. Finally, Aaika had successfully trapped Arin in her web.
But Aaika's heart hurt seeing Arin in that condition. Still, she could not show anything in front of Rambh. So she simply remained silent.
Rambh smiled and said,
"Good. I have finally found a worthy partner for my daughter."
Then he walked away laughing lightly and told Aaika,
"Come home later."
By "home," he meant the demon realm.
Arin could only keep looking at Aaika silently.
Finally, he hugged her tightly.
Aaika did not want that moment to end. She had never felt so much peace, warmth, and belonging with anyone before.
But eventually, she had to return.
So after leaving the hospital, Aaika came back to Earth for a short while… and then returned to her realm.
But as soon as she reached the gates—
Nargas was already there, waiting for her.
