Avneet slowly paced towards her and Rits stood up. Angew was visible in her eyes. Suddenly she slapped Rits hard. Rits placed her hand on his cheek and looked up at Avneet in shock while she was looking at her with red anger eyes. Arishfa, who was watching all this stood up.

Avu (yelling in anger): How? HOW CAN YOU BE SO SELFISH AND MEAN THAT YOU TRIED TO RUIN 3 FUCKING LIVES? NOT OUR LIFE BUT ATLEAST YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR LIFE?

Rits (pointing her index finger, raising her voice): How dare you slap me?

Avu again slapped her hard due to which she fell on the bed and blood oozed from Ritika's nose. Ritika looked at her hand to see blood drop on her palm. She was left astonished. Arishfa took the advantage and messaged on her phone to an unknown number.

Avu (dangerous voice): This is your answer today. I never thought the the sister for whom I am fighting against the whole world is herself wrong. Siddharth was pleading me to listen to him but all I did was to trust and listen my own sister only.  Shame on you! But no you don't have any shame I forgot. No worries, today you will see the worst of me.

Rits searched for words but now she didn't know how to shut Avneet's mouth as she has already learnt the truth. Avneet dragged Rits arm pulling her, making her stand on her feet.

Avu (whispering, dangerous voice): Today no one can save you. You have done a lot and now its your time to suffer it. Suffer in the same way as Siddharth is suffering.

Avneet didn't let Rits speak another word and started dragging her from her arm and started pacing towards the hall. She was running down the stairs while Rits was asking her to slow down but it didn't affected her. As soon as they reached hall, Avni jerked Rits, leaving her arm which made her fall on ground. Rits kept her hand on her belly as suddenly she felt pain. She was 4-5 months pregnant now and her baby womb was also visible.

Avu (yelling): A characterless woman like you can't be my sister, no my parent's daughter.

Hearing Avu's yell her mom, who was in kitchen came there running. She saw Rits sitting on the floor. She looked at Avu.

Mom (confusingly): What is happening here Avu?

Avu (loudly): Ask Ms. Ritika who addresses herself as your daughter.

Mom looked at Rits who looked up at her shaking her head.

Mom (confusingly): What is happening here Ritika? And Avneet why did you push your sister knowing that she is pragnent.

Avu (bursting): with someone else's child.

Hearing Avu's yells her father and brother Jai also came there.

Dad (politely): What happened beta? Why are you yelling at your elder sister like this?

Arishfa also stepped down the stairs watching everything. A message popped on her phone. She jist replied without letting anyone notice her. Avu went near Rits and made her stand on her feet. She gripped her arm so hard that Rits winced in pain.

Avu: Will you tell dad or should I?

Rits looked at her but didn't said anything.

Avu (anger in her voice): Oh, I forgot you would feel so ashamed telling him all this right? So, I will tell him.

Rits looked at her astonished. She was planning something to stop all this.

Avu: Rits is pragnent but not with Siddharth's child. Instead she is pragnent with Manjul's child.

Mom and dad (in union, shocked): Manjul?!!

Avu nodded her head.

Avu's dad (confusingly): Wait! What do you mean by that? As you know she was raped....

Avu (cutting him): She was never raped papa. Instead, she trapped Siddharth too so that no one could doubt her and she knew that their financial condition isn't stable, she very cleverly took the advantage of the situation.

Avu's dad and mom were shocked to the core. They didn't thought she would go such evil who can stage all this and never let anyone doubt her. Avu's dad looked at Rits with anger in his eyes, who was still sitting on the ground. Avu's mom dragged her arm making her stand.

Avu's mom (mad): Why are you silent now? Huh? Tell us. Is it all true?

Rits (having no other choice, stammering): Y-Yes...

That was enough for everyone to hear. She again earned a slap from Avu's mom who had tears in her eyes.

Avu's mom (yelling with tears): How can you do all this? Have you never realized what you were doing?

That's when, the door bell was rung. Jai went to open the door and found a guy standing infront of him. He confusingly looked at him. That's when, Arishfa came from behind.

Ari: Manjul, come fast and handle everything. Tell the truth to everyone.

Jai glanced at her.

Jai (confusingly): Y-You know him?

Ari: Jai, don't ask anything now. Let him in. I promise, he is also victim and evident of everything happened.

Jai looked at Manjul and thinking for a while, he let him in. As soon as Manjul came in, he greeted everyone joining his hands. Rits eyes widen seeing him. She stumbled holding the table on her one side. Due to her hit, the vase kept on the table fell down and broke into pieces. Their eyes met. Manjul's eyes had anger for Rits while Rits's eyes went black.

***************

Reem stepped inside Sidd's room to already find him asleep. A tear fell down her eye seeing him. She slowly went near him and gently kissed his forehead.

Reem (whispering): Sleep well bhai!

She wished dragging the blanket and covering him. She stood up, leaving the room unaware of it that her brother was in danger now. He needed her.

*****************

Rits (whispering): Manjul!

Everyone were astonished to see Manjul standing there. Avu's dad went near Manjul and glared him.

Avu's dad (anger): So, you are the one who played all this with her?

Manjul: No uncle, its only she.

Avu's dad (yelling): Oh really? Didn't you left her when she got pragnent with your child?

Manjul: No uncle.

Avu's dad: What do you mean?

Manjul: She never informed me that she is pragnent with my child.

Avu's dad (confusingly): What do you mean by that?

Manjul: I was interested in her. I wanted to marry her and make her my wife but due to business issue, I had to leave my country and go U.S.A for 2 months. Actually, I  am single mother's only child and we were settled in U.S.A only but after his death, we shifted to India handing our business to my uncle. He trued occupying on my father's business. That's why, I had to leave country on emergency basis but I had promised Ritika that I would marry her. Now, it seems like she never trusted me. I texted her multiple times, called her but then I got to know that she had blocked  my number. One of my friend and Arishfa informed me about it. I didn't wanted a second and came back to India.

Tears fell from Rits's eyes. Avu's dad held his head while Avneet was looking at her with disgusting faces. Arishfa was on one corner standing and seeing everyone.

Avu's dad: I-I did a big mistake by adopting you. I-I shouldn't have adopted you.

Those words astonished and confused everyone to core. Rits glanced at him still not believing her ears.

Rits (crying, stammering): W-What do you m-mean b-by a-adopted?

Avu's dad (yelling): Yes, you are not my daughter.

Avu's mom looked down sobbing while everyone was looking at Avu's dad in shock. This scene enclosed the true identity of Rits which she never imagined in her dreams.
