Hey Guys....
This chapter was getting too long so I have divided it into two parts.
Hope you all like it.

Cheers! Happy Reading

Sameer POV

Luckily dad is better now, the doctors said that he had a minor heart attack due to all this stress.
I can't believe all that's going on.. my life is a huge mess right now and there is nothing I can do to make it right ! Wait.! There is something I can do, I can give her what she wants.
She wants me out of the family and then that is what she will get.

It is not only affecting me but also my family. Honestly I dont care if I was not related to them by blood directly because I know that we all are connected by heart. She wants me to drop my name and separate then okay !
To be loved by my family and to love them back I don't have to have a Kapoor surname. I don't need to stay in the same house as them. I don't need to share the same blood. All I need is love and they all love me and I love them. That's all that matters.

After two weeks of hospital and press drama, finally we are home. I still haven't gone out to the press yet nor have anyone else from the family. We are trying to take one step at a time and our priority is dad.

I felt soft hands on my chest and her head resting on my back between my scapulae. She only brings smiles to mylife. A few days ago, she explained everything to the family.
Why we moved ? The whole plan to find out who is behind the problems? And we did. It was none other than my great grandmother. But the only thing dad couldn't find out was why she did this??!!!

I hold her hands mine and turn around to face her.
"So what is daddy thinking with these frown lines huh?!" She spoke to our baby while smoothing out the frown lines on my forehead.
I placed my hand on her small hardly noticeable baby bump and started talking to my princess.
"Princess tell your mum that these frown lines are all because of her. Last night she made me search for mangoes at 3am in winter season and since I couldn't she has been ignoring me. So I was Thinking about it!" I whined like a little kid. I see a slight chuckle on her lips and capture her lips in a soft kiss. She pulls back blushing and we head downstairs holding hands.

Two days ago, I had talked to her about my great grandmother. She said she already knew and had something important to tell me but couldn't find the time in the past busy days.
Ridhi is ok with dropping the Kapoor Surname as well. She also believes that what's in a name? theory.
Right now we are going to tell everyone about our decision.

We descend down the stairs to see the family sitting there. Looking at them, I was reminded about how they didn't trust me. It hurt but then to see them love Ridhi so much made me happy.
They were right the pictures were not photoshoped.
The day it all happened, Mishali came to my office and started getting emotional. Emotional about Our wedding. Yeah that's right! I was supposed to marry Mishali first ... we were friends since childhood and then great grandmother suggested that we should marry. Since I didn't have any girlfriend, they decided it was a good choice. But somethings happened due o which our wedding got canceled. After few weeks, my dad met with his friend(Ridhi's dad) and he liked Ridhi for me. And soon we got married.
I still haven't old this to Ridhi, nobody has. We didn't want to tell her about it because we didn't want her to think as if she was second choice. Clearly, there was nothing between me and Mishali but still hearing about it could have hurt Ridhi.
When Mishali got emotional, she hugged me and started getting all touchy. She even shocked me by kissing  me. As soon as she did, I pushed her away but I guess it was all part of her plan and someone took pictures right when she literally jumped on me.
I was ashamed of myself, ashamed that I let another woman come so close to me. Since, the pictures were not fake, I couldn't give any proof to prove my innocence to my family. I tried to tell them that it was all a lie and wrong but they didn't trust me entirely.

Now they know it all and asked for my forgiveness. They are my family and they didn't do anything wrong so I told them it was okay. Even though it hurt to see them not trusting me instantly, I tried to calm myself and move on.

Now here we are, in the living room.
Ridhi and I entered holding hands and I cleared my throats to gain their attention.

"We have something to say to all of you. But before doing that, we want to say that we love you all more than anything. What we are about to say.... uhmm... you may not like it. But Ridhi and I have decided so please all we ask for, is your support and love.  We .. we have.. decided.." I couldn't find it in my heart to say these words.

Ridhi squeezed my hand and spoke up "we have deuces to change our surname and only and only legally separate from the family" she finished and everyone gasped.

"What is this?" Granddad got angry.
Mom grand mom chachi Chachu dad... everyone was angry.
Luckily only the adults were here and not My brother and cousins.

"We know she wants this... so we want her to stop all of this. We will agree to these terms." I said with finality in my voice. "Even though you all consider me part of the family... she doesn't and after knowing everything even grand dads syblings also don't treat me as family. She told me that I am the only reason she did this and she wants remove me from the family. Earlier I didn't listen to her but now I have decided to agree to her terms."

"Even I am with him, ... please try to
Understand. We are al aye going to be one family and changing surname is not going to deatry the love and relation we all share. We are still going to be your kids" Ridhi spoke softly.

She went up to mom and side hugged her. " mom you know we need this, we need a stop to this" mom slightly nodded her head.

"No! You will do nothing like this" Chachu and chachi spoke up as well. "We will not allow it" I walk upto them and hold their hands.

"Chachu, chachi I will always be your nephew no matter what. We will meet regularly. Please try to understand. I want an end this." I could see chachi tear up and I hugged her. They are like my parents for me. Always loving me as their own child.

"I know why she is doing this" grand mom said loudly into gain all
Of ours attention. She looked at her husband and he nodded. "She is doing this because your grandfather is not her son. Because she was your great grandfathers second wife. She always hated your grandfather." We all looked at granddad shocked. None of us knew this. Not even mom and dad.

"What are you saying mummy ji. This can't be true." Dad went up to his mom.

"It's true beta.. she is not my real mother. And there is one more thing... we know who Sameer's biological father is" Vanessa's said and looked at me.

What? My biological father? I thought none knew him.

Granddad came to me and spoke "your great grand mother, she had a brother whose grandson was the one who took advantage of your biological mom. None of you know this and I promised Preeti. Preeti is the name of your biological mother Sameer. I promised her to never tell anyone. She was the daughter of my brother and was also like my own daughter. After the incident, with my help she got him punishment and he was sentenced to hang. This evil lady wants revenge for his death and added to that she also hates me" granddad came forward and hugged me.

This was too much to take in.
