Agnivanshi Mansion

Kainat was pacing back and forth in the hall. On one side Abir was standing with his usual cold, straight face, and on the other side Madan kaka was visibly worried watching Kainat. She had been roaming like this for the past hour. Madan kaka said, “Kainat beta, calm down and sit. You’ve been pacing for so long — you’ll get tired and your health will suffer.”
