Ridhi POV

We both were now lying on the bed, he was cuddled in my arms and his head was on my chest with his arms tightly around me. After hearing everything I was so shocked. He told me that he had known about mom and dad not being his parents for a few months. But why didn't he confront them before ? I asked him that and he said that someone his family had shown him evidence.
"Ridhi.... You know I only went to mumbai because I wanted to prove the evidence shown to me wrong but turns out it was all true. All these months I was in denial of the truth. I was trying to find a way to prove it all false" I kept stroking his back and shoulders trying to comfort him. "I don't know if I should go back or not?"
"What do you mean by.." I was cut was the ring of his phone.
I saw the screen and it was dad.
Sameer didn't pick it up, he muted the ring and threw the phone aside.
"Sameer it's dad! Please pick it up"
"Ridhi I can't I don't know how I will react"

So instead I picked it up
"Hello papa"
"Arrey Ridhi tum Sameer ke saath ho? Accha beta you both come home immediately it's an emergency!" And then he hung up.
"Sameer we have to go home! There is..."
"No Ridhi I don't want to go , and that's final !" He shouted at me. This was the first time him angrily shouted at me.
"Sameer plz, there is an emergency at home." When he heard emergency, he pulled away from me and sprinted to get the car keys.
"Ridhi  are you coming or not?" He was still angry. I didn't like it but I know that he is very stressed so decided to let it go.

--At Home--

Ridhi POV

The entire ride was silent, he was frowning the entire time. But deep inside I knew he was worried for the emergency. He cared about his family a lot.
When we reached home; his grandparents, his parents, his uncle aunt and of course his brother Vishal.

We were facing them all and he didn't even say a word!
"What happened papa? " I asked dad
"Ridhi ... Sameer..." He couldn't finish.
"Is someone hurt, everyone is here then what is the ..?" I was asking when his mom stopped me.
She went towards Sameer.
"Sameer we know that you know so please talk to us. " she caressed his cheek but he moved away.
"I don't want you to touch me mom... I mean Mrs. Kapoor" he flinched away from her.
"Sameer! Don't call me Mrs kapoor, I am your mom"
"No you are not!"

"What???!!!" We all heard Vishal gasp. So he obviously didn't know what was going on!
He came up to Sameer and asked "what are you saying Bhai ! ?" He looked so hurt and confused. " I know you all playing a prank or something so please just quit it, it's too much"
Vishal looked at Sameer for a response but Sameer didn't respond at all, he didn't even look straight at him.
"Sameer is not lying Vishal." Dad came forward.
"No no this is all a lie. He is my real brother no matter what you all say!" Vishal Then stormed out angrily.

Sameer then stormed off.
Mom looked devastated. She suddenly sat of the couch with tears in her eyes. I went to her and hugged her. Seeing her like this was hurting me so much.
"Mom please stay strong, he didn't mean what he said. You know na, how much he loves you ?!" I asked her and she slightly nodded.
Grandparents were both sitting speechless on the couch. Uncle and papa were talking in the corner.Chachi, mom and me were sitting on the couch.

After a coupe of minutes, Sameer came down with a luggage bag in his hand.
Everyone gasped looking at Sameer.
I never thought he would do something like this.  Both mom and grandma were in tears.
Without saying a single word to any of us he started walk towards the main door. All of us started to stop him. Before everyone else, I pulled his hand making him face me.
"What are you doing Sameer? You're leaving?!" I shouted at him. He was going to leave without me. I thought we were over with the idea of us separating.
I was in tears. Chachi was hugging me from behind, I guess trying to comfort me.
"Sameer beta, please you can't just leave like that. You have to at least listen to us." Granddad tried to convince him but no response from him.
"Sameer son just listen to us. We love you a lot son" dad told him.
" No, this is it. I need time to think it al over. I do not want to see any of your faces. I am leaving you all and this is my final decision." He again turned and started to move towards the door.

"You are leaving me too?" I asked him. I couldn't believe that he ready to leave me.
He turned back "Ridhi.. I ..."
"Son I can understand why you would want time away from us. But how can you do this to Ridhi?" Grand mom came forward and touched my head motherly.

"Ridhi you can come along with me but only on one condition !!"
"Wha..what condition?" I asked him
" you have to choose between this family and me. If you come with me then you have to never meet any of them, no contact with them at all." He replied back.

"But Sameer how can I? They are my family." I asked him again.

" And what am I to you huh? No one I guess! So okay now! Stay here with them and if that's what you decide then be ready to sign the divorce papers!" His voice boomed in the entire house.

Hearing this I was shaken badly, what is wrong with him now ? Divorce ?! Everyone else were shocked as well.

I knew that I had to choose but how could I? I turned towards the family with guilty eyes. A look at me and they knew what my decision was. I had chosen him over them.

Grand mom and grand dad walked towards me. Grandad said to me "Ridhi beta, he is your husband and he is the reason you are related to us. Go with him, we know when time is right, you both will come back to us." He gave me a small sad smile.
