In the latest episode of Karthika Deepam,
Karthik informs the family that he found
Deepa and
Murali Krishna abducting his daughter (Hima). He beat up Murali and got Hima back. Soundarya reprimands Karthik for suspecting Deepa and misbehaving with Murali Krishna. Karthik asks her to stop supporting them. He further declares that he will fly to the US very soon. Soundarya warns him that she will get him behind the bars if he tries to force his daughter.
At midnight, Deepa is lost in thoughts about Karthik’s humiliation. Sourya wakes up suddenly and asks Deepa whether she has any disputes with Karthik in the past. Deepa denies knowing him. Deepa tells that she is thinking of shifting to another city. Sourya tells her that she can’t leave Doctor babu (Karthik), moreover, they have no support elsewhere. Deepa tells Sourya that she will not go against her wish and puts her back to sleep. Deepa further wonders about the connection she feels with Hima.
Next day, Karthik packs Hima’s bags and emotionally tells her to leave to her paradise (Vantalakka’s place). Even Soundarya backs Karthik’s decision and volunteers to drop her at Vantalakka’s place. Hima can’t leave her father. She rushes back to him, hugs him and tells that she needs him and Vantalakka too. Karthik poses a condition that she can have only one of them. He asks Hima if she ran away or someone abducted her. She replies that she went after someone like Vantalakka and then she was abducted suddenly. Karthik then blames Deepa for the abduction and tries to convince Hima that they must leave the place to live peacefully.
Murali Krishna tries to advise Deepa to patch up with Karthik at least for the sake of Hima. Deepa replies to him that Karthik needs to have that common sense and not her. She further scolds him for backing the person who alleged them of abduction and slapped him. Deepa asks Murali Krishna to mind his own business.
