Singhania Mansion.

Arnav and Khushi arrived at the majestic mansion of the Singhania family.

The gates were opened for him immediately the security saw who was in the car.

Arnav parked his car and looked at a nervous Khushi and held her hand.

"It's going to be okay. " He assured her and she smiled at him as both of them got out of the car.

They rang the bell and it was opened by a middle aged woman who had tears in her eyes seeing Khushi and Khushi smiled nervously are her.

"Khushi..... This is Sunita maa..... She was your father and uncle's nanny. " Arnav introduced.

Sunita cupped Khushi's face and cried out.

"Am so happy you are here...... You are the perfect blend of your parent but you have your father's eyes."

"Nice to meet you Sunita maa. " Khushi said as the walked into the hall.

"Sunita maa,we are here to see Dhami. " Arnav exclaimed and Sunita sighed sadly.

"It's good you came because Dhamiji is not well and has refused to eat and all she does is cry and beg for forgiveness from your parent....... Aditya is also mad at her and hasn't spoken to her since they come back from Raizada mansion and he is barely even home...... I know she will lighten up if she sees Khushi. "

Khushi felt sorry for her and was silently blaming herself which didn't go unnoticed by Arnav who squeezed her and and shook his head.

"Where is she ? " Arnav asked looking at Sunita.

"In Khush's old room. " Sunita replied and Arnav nodded.

"Please can you make something for her and bring it to us. "

Sunita beamed with happiness and rushed out of there to the kitchen.

Arnav turned to face Khushi who looked sad.

"Put a halt to the blame you are putting on yourself for all this and don't you dare deny it because I know you are blaming yourself because your eyes says it all....... I want you to take the food to Dhami and talk to her..... I will be here waiting for you. "

Khushi looked bewildered by his words of going alone.

"Are not coming with me? " Khushi asked and Arnav shook his head no.

"You need to do this alone which I know you can...... I believe in you. "

Khushi smiled and hugged Arnav who reciprocated and that how Sunita found them.

"They remind me so much of Khush and Shriya when they came to visit us...... If I had known that will be the last time I saw them, I would have made more time for them. " Sunita thought sadly as she walked up to them.

Khushi and Arnav broken the hug seeing Sunita walking up to them pushing a trolley with a smile on her face.

Arnav lifted the trolley upstairs as Khushi and Sunita followed him.

They halted at the room of Khush and Arnav and Sunita signalled Khushi to go in.

Khushi let out a heavy sigh and entered the room gently closing the door behind her.

Khushi saw Dhami coiled on the bed like a child and from her sobs she knew she was crying.

She looked around to find multiple awards and trophies on the shelves in the room.

She knew her father was an athletic man but never knew he was this good and he was indeed because of all the trophies and awards.

There was a picture of her father, uncle and grandmother all over the room.

Khushi smiled seeing the last picture and from it she deduced her father was a mama's boy and she smiled but jerked out of her reverie hearing Dhami yell.

"Sunita do you want to be fired..... Didn't I ask you n..... "

Dhami paused in shock seeing Khushi standing in her father's room.

Khushi smiled and pushed the trolley towards her and sat on the bed.

She took off the lid and saw it was pasta and smiled because it was also her father's food.

She took the plate and placed it on the bed and forked some of the pasta and Dhami opened her mouth and eat it without complain.

Both silently sat down as granddaughter fed grandmother.

Within half an hour, the pasta, juice and fruits were all gone and Khushi placed all the plates back on the trolley.

She looked at Dhami and smiled and Dhami took her hand kissed them.

Khushi hugged her and Dhami reciprocated crying uncontrollably and Khushi joined in.

"Am so sorry my dear..... I don't know what come over me..... Please forgive me. " Dhami cried out apologetically.

"There is nothing to forgive Dadi. " Khushi assured her and Dhami immediately pulled out of the hug with a huge smile on her face.

"Did you just call me Dadi or is it my senses playing with me. "

Khushi smiled and called her Dadi again and Dhami was over the moon hearing this.

Outside Arnav and Sunita sat in tha hall wondering what was going on.

"I think we better check on them. " Arnav suggested and Sunita nodded and they both moved upstairs and they both heard laughter coming from the room.

Both smiled at each other knowing it meant mission accomplished.

Sunita gently opened the door and their initial smiles widened even more as they saw Dhami showing Khushi pictures of her father and explaining the scenarios behind it and Khushi was attentively listening and laughing.

Mathur House.

Suhani and Aditya entered the house and saw Aman sitting in the hallway looking so broken.

Both felt a bang of pain in their chest seeing him devastated.

"Ama..... "

"Don't." Aman yelled cutting his mother off.

Suhani flinched because of the intensity of his yell and it hurts her to see her son behave like this with her.

Aman stood up and started pacing back and forth.

"So all my life has been a lie. "

Suhani shook here head as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Am so sorry son. " Suhani begged as she walked closer to Aman but he lifted his hand stopping her.

"Aman don't hurt your mother..... If anyone deserves to be hated and hurt then it's me who must bare that anger. " Aditya said and Aman glared at him and he shuddered seeing the hatred in Aman's eyes.

"Let me guess you didn't want us because your beloved mother hates middle class people...... You are a coward unlike your little brother who did the right thing. " Aman angrily accused and Aditya shook his head and his eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

"I didn't leave because I couldn't face my mother..... I left because I was made to believe your mother cheated on me with Mohan..... He created the misunderstanding between your mother and I and I admit I am a fool for believing him. " Aditya confessed and Aman fisted his hand to control his anger for his father. "Years ago I left Delhi to Ooty for a project...... One of our major company there was recording loss which wasn't supposed to happen so I went undercover as a common employee..... Mohan was the only person who knew who I was because he was a manager of one of our department and had meet I and my mother before...... I saw your mother and fell in love with her..... It was going great and I was going to tell her after I was done with my mission but something occured which halted it and your mother and I had to get married to protect her dignity and honor. "

Aman frown at him and Aditya signalled him to sit down and he also helped Suhani sit down as he sat facing Aman.

"A day after Holi, I and Aditya woke up naked in bed and realised we had made love in our intoxication..... I knew if the community found out, I would be in trouble because I was an orphan and got intimate with a man I wasn't married to and it was something that was really frown upon back then..... But unfortunately for us, the househelp saw us and told everyone and we were forced to get married...... We were shunned for a few weeks but was later accepted...... For the next eight months, we were happy but Aditya didn't like my friendship with Mohan. " Suhani revealed in tears.

"I didn't because I saw how lustfully he looked at your mother and I warned her to end her friendship with him but she brushed me off...... We fought about it the day I left to Delhi to present my findings to my mother...... It was such a huge fight that your mother wanted space so I took advantage of me having to leave to Delhi........ A few weeks later I received a courier with pictures of your mother and Mohan in compromising positions but I didn't believe it and tore it..... I missed your mother so much that I come back to Ooty to make up with her and take her to meet my mother and little brother but I arrived to your mother and Mohan naked in bed and it shocked me....... Mohan woke up looking shocked but your mother was asleep, I walked out in shock and Mohan followed me...... He laughed at me and called me a fool for coming back and not believing the pictures he sent me..... He then proceeded to tell me how he and your mother planned to make me fall in love and use be to get money but they changed their mind when I was taking too long to make her meet mother..... He also told me he was the one who spiked my drink to make me intoxicated so that I will get married to Suhani...... I was anger and wanted to kill him but I controlled myself and left..... I immediately filed for a divorce and left the proceedings to my lawyer and left to London cutting all contact with everyone including your uncle and grandmother."

Aman was quiet all through out their confession and he looked at his mother and saw her looking defeated.

"Did you plan all this with Mohan? "

Suhani was taken aback by Aman's words but she shook her head.

"I didn't..... I never knew how I ended up in bed with him and all I remembered was losing consciousness and woke up already dressed up.... I thought it was because of my pregnancy which I found out two days after Aditya left ...... Mohan showed me that he wasn't the person he told me he was and that Aditya had threatened to hurt me if he said anything...... He also told me he was a playboy who used women and discarded them when he was bored...... I like a fool believed him seeing pictures of him in magazines with other women..... I was angry at him at first but forgave him and to prevent anyone from taunting me or your, I married him immediately after my divorce with your father was finalized...... I only found out the truth after he died when your were only three...... He confessed to manipulating both of us in a letter and asked for my forgiveness..... I couldn't confront him because he had already died from his cancer. "

Aditya was shocked hearing Suhani knew all this.

"You knew the truth all this while and still threatened to kill yourself and I let you manipulate me into staying away from my son. " Aditya yelled standing up and Suhani burst out crying.

Aman was confused as to what was now happening.

"Maa what is he talking about? " Aman asked Suhani who knew Aman will hate her if he found out the truth.

Aditya walked up to Suhani and held her left hand and pulled down the bangles.

"Are you going to tell him the reason you have this scar or should I? " Aditya yelled angrily at Suhani who flinched crying.

Aditya let go off her hand and sat on the couch as tears streamed down his cheeks.

Suhani looked at Aman who looked confused.

"A week after I read Mohan's letter, Aditya come to meet you and I but I told him to leave and he refused...... I told him I hated him and he was okay with that but wanted to take you away. "

"Stop with the lies Suhani." Aditya exclaimed in anger cutting Suhani off and he turned to Aman. "I never wanted to take you away..... I just wanted us to co-parent but your mother didn't want that and she slit her wrist threatening to commit suicide if I told you who I was or took you away...... I knew she wasn't bluffing and I didn't want you to grow up without a mother..... I took her to the hospital and she was treated and I promised never to meet you or claim you like she wanted but under a condition that I provide for you financially and she agreed....... Am so sorry Aman. "

Aman looked at his mother stunned by the revelation behind her scar.

"You told me it was a kitchen accident when I come back from school that day but the truth is, it was the scar of your betrayal. " Aman yelled making Suhani flinch. "If you didn't want him did you even think about me...... Mohan never loved me and now I know why...... I was never his son...... I was always bullied for not having a father and you knew because of the fight that ensued because of me being bullied and yet you never did anything..... How could you do this to me Maa. " Aman cried out and Suhani stood up to touch but he moved away from her.

"Am so sorry son...... I was angry at him for believing Mohan. " Suhani confessed and Aman scoffed.

"So you thought I was the one to bare the punishment for your anger towards him...... Stop trying to play the victim maa because you are not..... I am the victim of the three of you..... You are wrong and so is he. " Aman yelled pointing angrily at Aditya who looked down ashamed and remorseful. "You two had a choice to talk things out but you let your ego get in the way and Mohan took advantage of it...... I need time..... And please don't call me until I am ready to speak to any of you. "

Aman walked out of the house turning deaf ears to his mother's calling and pleading.

Suhani threw herself in Aditya's arms crying and he consoled her.

Silliguri, West Bengal.

In the area of Bhanu Nagar stood a 4 BHK house.

A man in his mid fifties sat in a dark room staring at a man in a magazine.

"Get ready ASR because everything you own will soon be mine. " A man in a dark room said with a sinister smile on his face as he marked an X on a picture of Arnav in a magazine.

A knock on the door broke his reverie and he asked the person to come in.

"Boss here is everything you asked on the people he is associated with. " The man said and handed a file to the man.

He read everything and a huge smirk appeared on his face.

"Interesting...... Who would have thought Arnav will not be only filthy rich but his fiancee is also an heiress to old money and hot too...... She will surely be mine soon. " The man said clicking his tongue and the other man looked nervous.

"But boss..... He is heavily guarded and so is his fiancee who livings in a heavily guarded gated community..... It will be difficult for you to get anywhere near him. "

The man let out a sinister laughter and leaned into his chair.

"Nothing is ever impossible for Arvind Malik. "
