Ahana's POV

I came back home, it was 6.30 pm. Manvi had not yet returned. I sighed, whenever she is with Virat she doesn't remember me.

"Ye virat bhi na.. Ek baar milta hai toh chodta nahi hai mannu ko.."

Today, I was feeling strange. I was having an awkward feeling. This is not usual, I trust Virat he won't let anything happen to my daughter but today I had a bad feeling. I could feel my heartbeat.

I called up Virat and said "kaha ho? Kab wapas aa rahe ho?"

"Ahana.. Bas ho gaya hai I will drop manvi home in 20 minutes" she informed.

I ended the call. From his voice, it seems everything is alright so why I was feeling strange.

Manvi's POV

I had bought so many dresses, my eyes fell on the teddy bear. "Akdu uncle see kitna bada hai I want," I shouted.

He smiled "le lo..."

I denied "nahi phir mumma dant lagayengi itne ghar mein hai aur le aayi rehne do"

"Tumhari mumma ko toh har baat se problem hoti hai.." he said.

I glanced at him "akdu uncle.. Meri mumma ki burai nahi samjhe" I love him but I won't tolerate a bad word about my mother.

"Acha.. waise toh badi shikayat karti ho uski.. Main kuch kahun toh bura?" he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Haan toh? Meri mumma hai wo.. Mera haq hai main kuch bhi kah sakti hun aap nahi kah sakte ho.." I warned him.

He smiled hearing me. "Thik hai nahi kehta hun.. Tum teddy bhi lelo tumhari mumma ko main samjha dunga.." he said

I said sarcastically "aap unhe samjhaoge? Aap dono milte ho toh ladte ho.. Huh.."

"Isme tumhari mumma ki galti hai.. Wo mujhse dosti hi nahi karna chahti hai" he replied.

I looked at him and said "dosti? Aap bhi toh nahi karte ho.. Aap dono na.. Too much ho"

"Madam.. Tumhari mumma ko phone aa chuka hai.. Jaldi se payment karwao ghar jaana hai" he said straightly.

I agreed, I moved to the counter taking the things. Virat came and made the payment. I saw someone.. "Main aati hun do minute" I said and rushed to the person.

"Nani..." I called.

She turned and the smile vanished from her face. Along with her some relative was also there.

"Aap meri mumma ki mumma ho toh meri nani hui... aap ghar kyun nahi aati ho humse milne?" I questioned briefly.

She looked at me for a moment and then walked away without giving me a reply. I was surprised, I followed her and held her hand.. "Nani ruko na.."

She stopped and looked at me.. "Main tumhari nani nahi hun samjhi.. Mera peecha mat karo tum" her reply was rude.

I remember, when I was 5 years old she and Ahana had an argument, but I hardly understood anything that time. And few other times, I have seen her talking to my mother with a cold reply.

"Aap aisa kyun kah rahi ho? Aisa kya kar diya hai mumma ne jo aap unse itna naraz ho?" I asked the reason.

She shouted "wajah.. Jaanna chahti ho? Wajah tum ho samjhi.. Sirf tum.. Tumhari wajah se hum apni beti se itne saalo se door hai.. Hamare sapne usko leke sab khatam ho gaye.. Tumhari wajah se"

I was shocked hearing this. I said "meri wajah se?"

"Haan.. sirf aur sirf tumhari wajah se" she said with some kind of hatred for me in her eyes and voice.

Virat came out and said "Manvi.. chalo Ahana wait kar rahi hai ghar pe tumhara"

He tried to pull me but, today I wanted to know the truth. "Nahi akdu uncle aaj main jaanke rahungi kyun nani nanu itne saal se mumma aur mujhse door hai? Humhe ghar tak nahi aane dete na phone karte hai" I said briefly.

"Manvi... zid nhi karte.. Tumhari mumma wait kar rahi hai ghar pe" he said, I could feel he also knew the truth and he was trying to divert me.

Aditi went away, I followed her "nani please.. Main jaanti hun mumma ko ache se wo kehti nahi hai but aapko aur nanu ko miss karti hai.. Please ek baar ghar aa jao.." I requested her taking her hand in mine.

"Please nani.." I requested.

She jerked away my hand "kabhi nahi.. Agar Ahana ko hamare paas aana hai toh tumhe jaana hoga Manvi.. Tumne humhe hamari beti se door kar diya.. Kahi bhi nazar milane layak nahi rahe hai hum.."

"Meri wajah se? Main toh aapki natin hun na? Aap aisa kaise kah sakti ho maine aapko door kiya aapki beti se?" I questioned.

"Natin? Jab Ahana ki shaadi hi nahi hui toh natin kaha se aayi? Tumhe toh sadak se uthake laayi thi Ahana.. Nahi khachre se uthaya tha tumhe.. Tumhare maa baap ne fhek diya tha tumhe paida karke.. Aur Ahana tumhe uthake ghar le aayi Jisse hamare khandan ki naak kat gayi.. Are tum toh uska apna khoon bhi nahi ho.. Ek anath ho tum samjhi.. Kuwari maa ban gayi Ahana... na kabhi shaadi kar paayi na zindagi mein aage badh paayi.. Sirf tumhari wajah se" the other relative revealed the truth.

I was left stunned hearing this, tears slipped down from my eyes. Aditi and the relative left the place. Her words were still echoing in my ears.

No this can't be the truth? She is not my mother? No... I have to reconfirm from her. I don't trust that lady. Someone kept hand on my shoulder, I turned and it was Virat.

"Ye sach nahi hai na akdu uncle?" I asked looking at him kneely.

He smiled "nahi hai sach.. Ahana hi tumhari mumma hai.."

I could sense, he was lying to me. I stepped back and run away from there. I could hear his call.. "Manvi.." but my mind had stopped working.

I ran out of the mall, took an auto while crying. It had started to rain, the auto stopped and I jumped out of it. I sat down on the bench and cried out loud.

Ahana's POV

It has been 7 pm and Manvi was not home, I was so worried. It had even started to rain, the unexpected change in weather. The bell was ringing, very fast. It must be Manvi, I rushed and opened the door.

I was shocked seeing her condition, she was drenched in rain. I shouted at her.. "Paagal hai kya tu?? Baarish mein bheegne ke liye mana kiya tha maine.."

I pulled her inside "aur tere akdu uncle kaha hai? Unhone bheegne kaise diya tujhe.. Tum dono na bas tang karte rehte ho mujhe.." I was scolding her.

She said something which shocked me. I looked at her, she again asked "mere papa kaun hai mumma?"

Suddenly, she is asking me this question. I wanted to ignore, "kapde badal le.. Beemar ho jayegi.."

"Kya main aapki apni beti hun?" She asked while crying.

"Mannu ye kya sawal hai? Meri beti hai tu.." I replied.

"Jhooth! Aapki toh shaadi hi nahi hui kabhi? Toh main aapki beti kaise ho sakti hun?" she said giving me another shock.

She shouted "sach batao mumma.. Kya aap mujhe khachre se uthake laaye they?"

Tears slipped down my eyes, the truth which I was hiding from 15 years, was in front of her. I can't run away from this. I remained silent..

"Bolo mumma.. Kya meri wajah se aap nani aur nanu se door ho?" she asked. She was looking at me with questioning eyes.

She yelled "I need answers!! Sach batao mujhe mumma.."

I closed my eyes and let my tears flow, "haan.. Ye sach hai... tum mujhe khachre ke paas mili thi.. Aur main tumhe ghar le gayi par mumma papa ne tumhe apnaya nahi toh maine ghar chod diya aur... yahan aa gayi"

Manvi's POV

The floor underneath me shakened, I could not believe my ears. She is not my mother. I was the reason of her separation from her parents. "Aap meri mumma nahi ho.." I said..

"Nahi.. main tumhari mumma hun hamesha rahungi.. Tum sirf meri beti ho.." she said holding my hand.

I jerked away her hand and shouted "no.. sach ye hai main aapki beti nahi hun.. Aapne mujhe sach nahi bataya.. You cheated me mumma.. Ab tak jhooth bolte aaye ho mujhse aap.. I hate you for this.. I hate you.." I ran inside the room and closed the door with a bang.

Ahana banged the door "mannu beta please open the door.. Tum meri beti ho.. Ye sach hai... aur kuch nahi.." I could feel the pain in her voice

"Please.. Mannu.."

I sat down on the floor and cried out loud. In a moment, my identity had become unknown. My birth certificates, IDs all are fake. I am not Manvi Goenka. What is my identity? No one knows. She is not my real mother. She is no one to me.. 

To be continued.

Manvi got to know the truth. Will this affect ahana manvi relation?

Stay tuned.
