Anamika confronted Vineet who refused to accept his fault, instead he accused Anamika of investing over him and breaking his trust. Anamika is enraged with his accusations when in reality he's the one who did all the wrong. Unwantedly, she said something which made him angry.

He throws the coffee mug on her side, it hits the glass door of the balcony breaking it in pieces. Anamika screams in fear with the sudden loud noise.

Before she adapted the change, he pinned her on the wall.

''How dare you say that!!!" He shouted at the top of his voice, making her shiver.

''Das saal!! Das saal se iss chij ka bas intezaar hi kar raha hoon main, wo bhi sirf issliye kyunki tum nahi chahti. Just because tumhe ye lagta aa raha hai ki tum ready nahi ho maine aaj tak kabhi ye na kaha main kya chahta hoon, meri kya ichha hai. Itne saal intezaar ke badh tum mujhe kehti ho main deserve nahi karta, layak nahi hoon. How could you Anamika??'' He jerks her a few times, his eyes filled with tears.

Anamika stares at him, she just touches the most sensitive topic.

''Tumhe kabhi chahiye hi nahi toh kabhi kami mehsus bhi nahi hogi. Par main, mujhe toh chahiye bache jiske saath main khel saku par tumhare liye hamesha chup raha, apni icha dabaye rakhi. Mere friends,colleagues, business associates jab aapne bachon ki baat karte hai toh main hi manta hoon kya feel hoga hai tab mujhe. Fir bhi kabhi tumse kuch nahi kaha kyunki janta hoon tumhe bache nahi chahiye aur aaj tum hi mujhe taunt kar rahi ho ki main layak nahi baap banne ke. Tum aisa bol bbi kaise sakti ho!!" He shouted, tears rolling down his cheek.

Anamika pushes him away.

''Bura laag raha hai na. Janti hoon kabse tumhare dil mei ye hai par bolte nahi iska ye matlab nahi main samajhti nahi hoon. Jara ye socho, jo bacha hai nahi uske liye tum itna tadap uthe fir jinke bachon ko kuch hua unka kya hoga? Unki bad duan le paoge? Kabhi khush nahi reh paoge Vineet, aab bhi waqt hai tum sab rok sakte ho, sab thik ho sakta hai.'' She says heading towards him.

''Main kuch galat nahi kar raha bol chuka hoon!" He exclaims glaring at her.

''Fine!! Tum apni zidd pe raho, par yaad rakhna tumhare iss galat mei main tumhara saath kabhi nahi dungi. Tumse hi seekha hai, chahe sho galat log tumhare samne ho magar agar tum.sahi ho toh sahi ka hi saath doh aur main wahi karungi. Tum badal sakte ho main nahi aur jo tum kar rahe ho wo galti nahi crime hai, jiski saza tumhe aur baki sab ko milni chahiye!!" Anamika exclaims swiftly taking his ipad, he jerks her hand and the ipad slips down the balcony.

Anamika was shocked, she looked down and turned to him. Meanwhile Savita enters the room, she was left shocked to see the condition of the room.

''Kya ho raha hai yahan? Tum dono ladd Kyun rahe ho?" She questions them.

Vineet gazes at his mother with tears in his eyes while Anamika seems to be angry.

''Maa, we'll talk later. Please, leave us alone!" Vineet requested her in a calm tone.

''No!! Pehle mujhe batao ho kya raha hai? Ye glass kaise toota?" She enquiries.

''Maa!! Please!! Meine kaha na jao, hum badh mei baat karenge. Abhi mujhe Anamika se kuch baat karne hai!!" He told his mother who was left astonished.

In the past ten years for the first time her son had taken Anamika's full name. He either calls her Ana or Sweetie, there is something really big going on.

''Mumma ko Kyun bhej rahe ho jo bolna hai unke samne hi bolo kyunki tumhare saath baat karne mei mujhe toh koi interest nahi aab. Waise bhi karni tumhe apne mann ki hai toh baat karke faida kya hai. Tumse toh aab koi umeed bhi nahi hai mujhe Vineet, sab barbad kar diya hai tumne, mera bharosha, mera pyar sab phika padd gaya aaj. Tumne aaj sabit kar diya hai, tumhare liye apne ahem se badh ke kuch nahi!!" Anamika retorts, turning away.

Savita was staring at them confused, she was building up her own story with the scene before her.

The bed was messed up, Anamika is in her bathrobe which is just hanging loosely around her body, her hair was uncombed, lips swollen and the glass wall is shattered on the floor in a thousand pieces. Does it mean Vineet tried to force himself on her? Why? Because she demanded a baby from him?

Savita trembled with the thought only. Her son can never do this, no he'll never force himself on his wife, he's not that type. Her mind refuses to accept it. She hasn't raised him this way, no he can't do it!!!

''Vineet, kya hua hai yahan?? I need to know!!" She shouts in anger, her eyes rolling over the room and Anamika.

It didn't take him even a minute to realize where his mother was heading to.

''Maa, jaisa tum soch rahi ho waisa kuch nahi hai. Main keh toh raha hoon na tumhe badh mei baat karenge, please jao na!!" He requested again as he doesn't want his mother to know the reason behind their argument.

''Haan Mumma, aap jao kyunki aapke bete ko apni khud ki kartut aapko batane mei sharm aa rahi hai par karne mei bilkul sharm nahi aai. Aur aab batane ke badh bhi usse uski galti ka ehsas nahi, uske liye wo sahi hi hai. Aab biwi ko toh ladd ke chup kara dega na, maa se shayad kar hi na paaye, apni mahanta bhi dikhani hai aapke samne aapke bete ko!" Anamika sarcastically spoke gazing at Savita.

''Anamika!!'' Vineet shouted at her.

Anamika rolls her eyes,''tumhare chillane se kuch nahi hoga, tum galat ho toh ho!! Tumhare chillane se sach jhooth nahi ban jaayega, samjhe. Aur kab tak tum mumma se sach chupa paaoge? Tum chupana chahte ho iska yahi matlab hai ki ye tum bhi jante ho tum galat kar rahe ho.'' Anamika bellowed.

''Vineet, kya kar raha hai tu?? Ye kis baare mei Ana baat kar rahi hai?" Savita questions his son, Vineet down his gaze as he doesn't want to involve his mother in the matter.

Well, he himself knows what he's doing is wrong but he also feels he's not at fault for it's Ranga who offered him the deal and made arrangements all he wanted was to make up for his loss.

''Bol!!! Chal kya raha hai!!" Savita roared.

Anamika heads to her, she opens her phone and shows her the apartment and park that Vineet and his partners are building in their chennai plot.

Savita was confused, Anamika tells her all the details she got to know. Also, how Vineet refuses to accept the truth and is arguing with her. Savita was left shocked to learn the truth, she gazes at Vineet who refuses to look at his mother.

Savita moves to him.

''Vineet, ye sab kya hai?? Tu Kyun kar raha hai ye sab!?" Savita questions him as she jerks him a few times. She never thought her son would ever take the wrong path just for a little money, he's stooping low.

''Maa, main kuch galat nahi kar raha! Meine samne se kissi ko nahi bulaya hai, mujhe ye deal offer ki toh bas meine accept kar liya kyunki mujhe bhi apna loss recover karna tha. Aur Waise bhi inn logon ne iss land ko kaafi mitti dal thik kar diya hai Maa. Kuch nahi hoga, aur hua toh bhi hamara kya jata hai.'' He spoke but was left shocked receiving a tight slap from his mother.

He gazes at her, even Anamika was shocked. She hadn't expected Savita to slap Vineet.

''Maa!" Vineet utter.

''Meine kabhi socha na tha tu aisa karega. Tu itna niche gir gaya Vineet bas chand paison ke liye? Kyun?? Kya jarurat hai ye sab karne ki? Loss hua tha toh seh lete, chahe humein road pe aana padta par usse bhi mujhe koi fark na padta, khushi khushi road pe bhi reh late hum lekin tune jo kiya uske badh khudke ghar mei bhi ghutan hogi aab mujhe. Yahi karne ke liye 6 mahine lage tujhe? Humse dur reh ke yahi planning kar rahe the kaise logon ko dhokha de? Bol, yahi karna tha toh logon ko jhuthi umeedein kyun de rakhi hai tune? Tu itni badi bewakoofi kaise kar sakta hai Vineet, ek baar nahi socha wo log kyun aaye tere pass. Kyunki unhe Pata hai tera naam judte hi log aayenge hi flat book karne kyunki Unki vishwas hai tujh pe, wo jante hai tu unka bhala hi sochega par unhe kya pata wo kitni badi galti kar rahe hai. Jisko wo apna humdard samajhte hai wo unhe dhokha de raha hai.''

Savita had tears in her eyes. Her son whom she brought up as a gentleman has turned evil, all he sees is money and his profit.

''Shame on you!! Socha nahi tha tu aise badal jaayega, aaj tujhe apna beta kehne mei sharm aa rahi hai mujhe.'' Savita jerks him away and leaves the room, she can't bear him before her eyes.

Vineet feels his life shattering like beads of garland. It seems he himself did it to his family, his mother is ashamed of him even his wife doesn't want to talk to him.

He sat down on the recliner with a thud, tears rolling down his cheeks.

''Khush!! Yahi dekhna tha tumhe! Maa ko sab bata ke kya mila tumhe? Hum baat kar rahe the na unhe bich mei laane ki kya jarurat thi tumhe.'' Vineet says gazing at her in anger, tears still fill in his eyes.

He can bear anything but not his mother's anger towards him.

''Ye sab hua bhi tumhari hi wajah se hai aur aab bbi tum ye manne ko taiyar nahi hi Vineet. Maa tak yahi keh rahi hai tum galat ho toh maan kyun nahi lete tum? Vineet, please rok doh ye sab,abbi bhi sambhal sakta hai sab hum logon ko samjha denge. Log samjhenge tumhara baat aur jab tum khud sabko bataoge toh logon ka vishwas bhi tum pe banda rahega. Rok doh sab,please!!" Anamika requests as she sits before him and holds his hand.

Vineet looks up at her,''kaise rok dun sab haan? Tumhe lagta hai sab mere haath mei hai? Ranga Shetty se paise le chuka hoon main kaise wapas karunga usse Itne paise. Yahan account mei 8 lakh bache hai main usse 60 lakh kahan se dunga? Business already dubne ko hai bacha hai toh ye ghar aab kya ghar bech dun main? Mujhe samajh nahi aata tum logon ko itni problems kyun hai. Sab sahi chal raha hai, construction almost complete ho chuka hai,saare flat bik chuke hai wahan koi khatra nahi par tumhe samajh aaye toh na. Kyun kar rahi ho aisa? Kya milega ye sab karke tumhe?" He demanded an answer.

Anamika gazes at him for a moment.

''Tumhara sukoon, bechaini aur jo embarrassment tumhe hogi unn sab se tumhe bachane ki koshish kar rahi hoon main. Agar itne saalon mei tumne meri saason ko padhna seekha hai toh main bhi tumhare har dhadkan se waakif hoon. Bhale hi aaj tumhe sab sahi lag raha hai magar jis din tumhe tumhari galti release hogi, tum jee nahi paaoge. Khudki dhadkan tumhe chubhne lagegi aur wo main nahi chahti. Issliye tabse samjha rahi hoon tumhe maan jao, main tumhare against kuch karna nahi chahti par kuch galat hua toh rukungi bhi nahi aur ye tum bahut aache se jante ho. Ek aache dost ki tarah tumhe tumhari galti sudharne ka mauka de rahi hoon, majbur maat karo mujhe ki main lawyer ban tumhe tumhare crime ginwayu!!" Anamika expressed her concern and the outcome of his acts.

She stares at him until he receives a call that enrages him. It was from Ranga which told him about booking a flat and demands of few more, he assured him.about the completion of the pending work in a few days and cut the call.

''Tumhari yahi icha hai toh yahi sahi. Tum wo karo jo tumhe sahi lagta hai aur main wo karungi jo mujhe sahi lagta hai. Pachtana toh tumhe hai hi, aaj ya kal kahin aisa na ho bach mei itni der ho jaaye ki na main hi rahun ya mumma hi. Aisa na ho akele hi reh jao Vineet.'' She verbalizes out of anger and leaves from there.

Vineet watched her going, and today she broke him into pieces. He has known him for the past 15 years, but she never shows him this side - rude and heartless. Yes, she showed heartlessness today. How easily she comments on their parenthood, even says that he doesn't deserve to be a father.

Okay, he knows what he's doing is not proper but it is not bad either. Ranga Shetty had filled the land with tons of sand to stabilize it, the guy had assured him that nothing wrong would happen there.

He sobs, he always wanted a child, from the very beginning but it seems destiny has its own plan.

He still remembers the day when he decided to adopt a girl child - Viha, a 2 - year old toddler, whom he fell for in the first meet itself. She lost her parents in an accident and the family refused to accept the little girl. The innocent face of her would attract him everytime he visits the orphanage. Hence, he decides to adopt her. The caretaker was happy knowing his desire, he made the arrangements but when he was asked why he doesn't have a child of his own, he couldn't lie and ended up telling them about his wife's denial to have a baby at the moment. This small piece of information shattered his heart, the court refused to accept his request to adopt the child saying that his wife probably wouldn't accept the child and he himself may not be able to manage a small kid, hence they rejected his wish.

This news affected him so hard that not just a few days but about almost 3 months he couldn't get a proper sleep or either a proper meal. Later, Viha was adopted by a well to do family and it only sadden him as now he won't able to meet the girl even at orphanage.

Her memory still builds up thousands of emotions in him, he still can't get over that little girl. Today, Anamika's words freshen his wounds. His heart is in pain. Tears rolled down his eyes as he caressed the picture of Viha. He has a picture of a little girl which he carries in his wallet.

Anamika enters the room changing in casual. She finds him sobbing holding his wallet. She knows her words were harsh but she said the truth and he still doesn't care about it.

She shrugs off her thoughts and calls for a servant to clean the house. A house maid came with a broom but refused to enter the room. Anamika sighs and takes the broom from her hand and asks for a cup of coffee.

Anamika first puts all the pieces of glass in a bin and swipes the floor with the broom so that small particles will be collected at a place. In the process a small piece of glass pierce her feet, she screams in pain and falls on the bed.

Vineet immediately came running, he held her leg which had already started to bleed. Anamika winches in pain when he holds the piece of glass between his fingers, she clinches the bed sheet tight screaming out in pain while he struggles to remove the glass.

''Tum dekh ke chal nahi sakti kya!" He scolded her and pulled out the piece of glass, she screamed and cried in pain. Tears rolled down her eyes, with immense pain.

He looked up, and she had her eyes closed.

For the first time in the past 10 years, she had tears in her eyes, had arguments with him, showed her anger, talked heartlessly, his mother got angry with him and even slapped him. All happen in one single day, actually in a few hours. It is truly said, it takes years to build a happy life and just a moment to break a house of happiness.

As she continues to stare at her, she opens her eyes. Their eyes met and she turned away instantly. He sighs and looks down. He bandages her wound and asks to take care.

''Toh aab yahi hamara future hai, ek dusre ne najre churana par jis wajah se ye ho raha hai usse thik na karna. Is it what you planned for us?" She questions him.

He turns to her to give her a reply, it's when his phone rings. He attended the call and became tense to what the caller said. He immediately turned on the news channel, the news flashing on the television shocks him.

Reportedly, Chennai faced an earthquake which caused minor damages in the state but almost all the buildings that Vineet and his groups had built had fallen causing vast damage in the area. Also a few workers got injured, some lost their life as well.

Anamika was shocked and so was Vineet. His phone started to ring like a chirping crow in the early morning. It seems like the news pervades like fire in water. Vineet booked his ticket to Chennai. He got ready in no time, and Anamika packed his bag.

''I hope sab thik kar pao, sahi decision le pao!" She says meaningfully and wishes him luck by giving a tight hug, Vineet stands still and takes his leave.

....

Media, villages, builders, investors, each person was gathered outside the devastatingly fallen building. They were waiting for Vineet and Ranga Shetty, they wanted an answer, their money and most importantly why the guys built buildings in such an area.

Shouting and screaming, they wait for the owners. Meanwhile, Vineet came to their sight. He descends down the car in the open field, the crowd runs towards him. Police officers stopped them but they were unstoppable. They shouted at Vineet, calling him with different names, cursing him for cheating them.

Vineet heads towards the area where a few hours ago long buildings stood but now only particles of cement, bricks were shattered on the ground. His heart panicked to see the dead bodies, their families cries. He closed his eyes when the dead body of a lady passed by him, her face was unrecognizable.

He immediately called Ranga, but the guy didn't take his call. Vineet tried to contact each person related to the project but none picked his call. The media solely accused Vineet of carrying out such a project.

''Sir, aapne aisi jameen pe building kyun banai?? Kya aap jante nahi Yahan kitna khatra hai?" A media person questions him.

''Arey aise logon ko kya fark padta hai, bas paise ke lalchi hote hai ye log hamara jaan se inko kya!!" Some villagers shouted out in anger, Vineet was stunned. A few days back, the same villagers were calling him god and today they are accusing him.

''Haan!! Insaan ke naam pe dhabba hai ye. Hamara vishwas ka galat faida uthaya isne, isko saja milni chahiye.'' They shouted while throwing stones on him.

Their words seem like needles in his heart, they curse him endlessly accusing him of his act.

The inspector takes him in custody and takes him to the police station while the media doesn't leave any stone unturned to frame him in a negative wall.

..

Inspector questions Vineet of his act to which he took Ranga's name as mastermind, the inspector refuses to accept that Ranga is a reputed person of the state.

''What do you mean, main aise kaam karta firta hoon? Mujhe Ranga Shetty ne ye project offer kiya tha, meine already unhe land ki condition bata di thi.'' Vineet shouted.

''Aacha, toh jab aap jante the kya condition hai fir bhi Unki baat mei aa ke building khadi kar di, paison ke liye hi na?" He questions him, Vineet down his gaze.

The inspector laughed sarcastically.

''Bade log paise ke liye kuch bhi karte hai. Par ye bhool jaate hai ki apne karmo ki saza unhe yahin milegi.'' The inspector gritted his teeth.

''Haan!! Saza milegi, lekin usse jiski galti hai!" A familiar voice breaks their trance.

Vineet and the inspector look up, Vineet was stunned to see Anamika at the entrance of the police station.

''Lo hi Sir, aapko personal advocate bhi aa gayi. Inhi ke kandhe pe teer rakh aapne itni lambi chalang lagai hai.'' Inspector teases him.

''Mind your language inspector!'' Vineet glared at him, he laughed.

Anamika heads to them.

''Aaiye Madam, aaphi ka intezaar tha mujhe.'' The inspector, Vijay, teases her.

Anamika smiles at him,''that's so sweet of you. Well, mujhe pata tha ye toh hona hi hai aur aapke sawalon ke jawab inse diye na jaayenge, kya hai na jo seedhe hote hai unhe tedhi baat samajh tak nahi aati jawab kya denge.'' She states gazing at Vineet who has his gaze down.

''Wow!! Yahan inhone itna bada land kar diya aur aap kehti hai inko kuch aata hi nahi. Oh yeah! Har biwi ko apna pati parmeshwar hi lagta hai na, aapko bhi laag raha hai.'' Vijay seems unstoppable.

''Let's be on point, ye project unke akele ka nahi. Do partners hai jiske, ek Vineet aur dusre Mr. Ranga Shetty wo kahan hai?" She questions him.

''Anamika hi, ye pura project aapke husband akele hi handle kar rahe hai aur koi dusra partner nahi iska, unke contract mei bhi yahi hai.'' Inspector told her.

''Yeah, I know! Iss contract ki ek copy mere pass bhi hai. Well, itni tehkikad aapne ki hoti toh mujhe itni mehnat na karna padti. But it's okay, ye rahi original contract paper jismei saaf saaf likha hai iss project ke do partners hai.'' She forwarded a paper towards him.

Inspector reads it and looks up at her.

''Par iss se aapke husband ki galti kam nahi ho jaati, ye chahte toh Unko mana kar sakte the par inhone unka saath diya.'' Vijay glared at Vineet.

Anamika smiles sarcastically, ''aisa meine kaha bhi nahi ki inki galti nahi. Jis jis ki galti hai unhe saza toh milegi hi par sab ki saza kissi ek ko kyun? Aap un sab ko arrest kare jo ismei involve hai.'' Anamika told him while forwarding a list of people who're involved in the project.

Vijay looks at her and then at the paper.

''Aap samne se apne husband ki galti ke proofs khud leke aai hai, wajah!!" He praises her.

''Kya karu, kissi ne hamesha mujhe yahi sikhaya hai ki hamesha sach ka saath doon.'' She states gazing at Vineet.

''Anyways, aab jab tak investigation complete nahi ho jaati aur jab tak sab sort out nahi ho jata Mr. Vineet aap Chennai ko Chod ke nahi jata sakte aur Anamika hi aapko toh kehne ki jarurat hi nahi, aap toh khud hi nahi jaayengi.'' Vijay raises his brows to which Anamika nods.

Anamika left the place along with Vineet. They headed to their house in Chennai. Vineet was quite all the way, he couldn't meet her gaze.

Once they reach home, they find media staring before their house. In the darkness of night their flash of camera feels like needle in eyes and they didn't care about it. They keep on clicking their picture, shouting and questioning him. A few villagers throw cow dung over Vineet. Anamika calls the watchman who pushes them all out of the premises.

Vineet enters the house and directly heads to their room. Anamika follows him, she knows what is coming next. He just got trapped in something he never wanted, just to solve his economic crisis.

All this year, he has heard only good things about himself but today people are cursing him which isn't bearable for him.

As she entered the room, she found him throwing things in anger, shouting and screaming. Anamika stands still at a corner letting him do whatever he wants. He committed a mistake and he has to face the consequences whether he wants it or not.

His action only hurt him, blood oozes out his hand and he still doesn't stop. Lastly, she holds his hand and makes him sit on the bed.

''Kyun kar rahe ho aisa Vineet? Iss se kya hasil hoga aab? Tum pehle se jante the aisa ho sakta hai fir jab hua toh ye gussa kyun?? Humein apne act ki samajh jarur hoti hai aur ye toh pata hi hota hai uska outcome kya niklega, hum mante nahi wo laag bat hai par iss se sach badal toh nahi jata na. Aab ye sab karke, cheejein tod ke sirf tum khudko kamjor dikha rahe ho aur kuch nahi. Agar galti karne ki himmat rakhte ho toh usse accept karke sahi bhi karne ki himmat rakho.'' She encourages him to solve the problem he created for himself while he just cries with his head down.

She lifted up his head,''Tum kabse aise himmat harne lage Vineet? Tum iss tarah tut nahi sakte warna sab khatam ho jaayega, iss sab ka ilzaam tumhare akele pe aayega aur uska matlab hai kam se kam 6 to 8 years ki saza jo tumhare hisse ka hai bhi nahi. You have to be strong, tumhe unn sab ko benakab karna hoga. Main Janti hoon tum ye kar sakte ho, hai na?" She questions as she cleans his tears, he nods through tears and hugs her - the only place for now where he can find peace is her arms, he can't deny the fact.

He cried out his heart in her arms. She caressed his back to comfort his pain a little but it only made him cry louder. The crowd gathered outside their house doesn't leave the place the whole night. Their voice accelerates his heart, he hides his face in her chest while curling up himself to her.

''Main khudko kabhi maaf nahi kar payunga Ana, kabhi nahi!" He cries, and Anamika caresses his cheek.

She separates him and cups his face.

''Vineet jo tumhe realize hua yahi chij baki ko bhi realize honi jaruri hai aur iske liye tumhe mujhe wo saare contract papers dene padenge, tabhi main kuch kar sakti hoon.'' She says in a convincing tone.

He gazes at her, she's right he needs to show Ranga's Shetty true face to the people of chennai. He nods his head and holds her hand, Anamika silently follows him as he takes her to study room where he have kept copies of the contract. Though, the original papers are with Ranga as the guy told him that it would be safer with him but Vineet takes xerox of it without his knowledge. Also he has some videos of them signing the contract and discussing the project. It is something he learnt from Anamika - to always take step with caution, trust all but not blindly.

He gave her all the proof, and Anamika was happily surprised.

''Great, aab Unko saza milne se koi nahi bacha sakta!" She exclaims.

She looked at him, his face was low.

''Vineet, main Janti hoon tumhare mann mei kya chal raha hai par believe me tumhe uss chiz ki saza bilkul nahi milegi jo galti tumne ki nahi, haan jo tumne kiya uske liye tumhe uski punishment toh milegi hi and I can't help it but i'll try ki tumhe kam se kam ya sirf penalty bharni pade.'' She assures him, Vineet nods.

They move to another room to take some rest.

Anamika sets the bed and asks the maid to order some food for them. The lady told her that she has already cooked food for them, Anamika smiles at her and asks to bring food in their room.

When she entered the room, Vineet was sitting on the bed lost in his thoughts. Anamika moves to the balcony and makes a few calls. She needs to fix things before Ranga and others escape from her clutches.

Finishing calls, she moves in. The maid had entered the room and kept the food on the table, Anamika thanked her and the lady smiled at her gesture and left the room. Anamika calls Vineet to have dinner. They ate a little just for namesake after which they retired to the bed.

Anamika assured him that everything will be fine, he need not to worry. He just smiles at her and closes his eyes.

...

Next morning..

The couple get ready and leave for the court. People are so interested in sending him to jail that just after the incident so many cases were filed against him and the court wants him there.

They take a deep breath and head to court. Upon reaching Vineet seems scared and unsure but Anamika holds his hand encouraging him.

They headed inside, and soon the case proceeded. The public prosecutor accuses Vineet and asks for tough punishment for him. He was not letting Anamika to speak anything which enrages her, she banged her hand on the table creating an utter silence in the court. The judge scolded her for misbehaving but then let her keep her point.

Anamika opens up all the evidence and shows the videos to the honorable court.
She kept her point that not only Vineet but others to get the punishment also Vineet was trapped and framed because of his needs plus the court got all the proof because of him only so the court should show some pity on him.

The judge respected her words and agreed with her. He was charged with a penalty of 20 lakh while others got the sentence of 2 years. Vineet let out a sigh of relief but stressed too as he doesn't have 20 lakhs to submit in the court. Anamika did it on his behalf, making him more guilty.

Later, on their return journey people still accuse him and he knows this will continue for long, people won't forget it so easily neither can he. He can never forget this project, the consequences he faced, his wife's and mother's actions towards him and Anamika's harsh words that he doesn't deserve to be a father. It will never let him move on, he will never be the same person he was a few days back, he may never love her or touch her the same way he used to do. Everything changes, he is the reason.

Vineet let out a deep breath as their car stopped at the entrance of their home. They descend the car and head inside, directly heading to their room.

''Thanks!" He spoke, he can't thank her enough for the help she offered. Though, their relation doesn't need such words but now that everything has changed it is highly needed.

''Itna formal kyun ho rahe ho? Kya hum ek duje ko itna nahi jante, Humein kab se aise words ki jarurat padne lagi?" She questions meaningfully.

Vineet looks up,''shayad sirf jante hi hai ek duje ko!" He replies in the same way and turns to the other side.

Anamika stares at him, she knows he's hurt because of her statement regarding him but she never meant it that way, she was just trying to prove a point.

''Vineet, I didn't mean to hurt you main bas apni baat prove karne ki koshish kar rahi thi tum tab bhi nahi samajh rahe the toh aur kya kehti main. Mujhe jo samajh aaya wo bol diya.'' She clarifies.

Vineet shook his head,''let it be kyunki shayad aab bhi tumhara explanation nahi samajh payunga main kyunki iss chij ka koi explanation hi nahi. Tum chahe ke bhi iss chij ko na badal sakti ho aur na hi jhuthla sakti ho to aur ye main samajh chuka hoon. So, it's better we drop the topic for forever!!" He exclaims and moves to the washroom leaving a shocked Anamika behind.

She holds his hand, he can't end things this way.

''You can't force your decision on me.'' She glares at him.

He separates her from himself,''itne saalon mei tumne bhi Yahi kiya hai, apna decision mujhe pe thopa hi hai aur meine fir bhi usse respect kiya jiske badle bahut aacha inam bhi mila mujhe. Aab rehne dete hain, shayad hum dono hi iss chij ko aur bardasth nahi kar paayenge. Waise bhi aab kuch pehle jaisa nahi raha, na main, na tum aur na hi hamara rishta. It's right time we take some decision which pleases both of us, not just me or you. Ek galti pehle hi kar chuka hoon, khudki nazron mei itna gir gaya hoon ki kabhi nazrein na mila payunga khudke, rahi baat tumhari toh tum already ek certificate de chuki ho dusra mei le na payunga. Let's stop everything out here, please. '' He keeps his point as he steps back finishing his statement.

Anamika stares at him. She knows she said things in the wrong way but she was angry at the time.

''Fir main iska kya karu? Kyunki iske liye shayad ready toh main aab bhi nahi par tumhari khushi ke liye isse apni life mei jagah dena ka faishla liya meine par jo aab tumhe hi sab khatam karna hai toh kya karu aab iska? Should I go for abortion?" She questions him as she places her hand on her flat stomach, Vineet stares at her with wide eyes. What does she mean by that? Is she pregnant?

Yes, Anamika is pregnant. She got to know about it when she was in Chennai to investigate him. She doesn't like the news, it doesn't make her happy for she still doesn't want the child but when it happens she couldn't think of aborting the unborn. Vineet's desire for a child stops her and also it was her mistake to get over excited to get back her husband after six months and not use protection neither takes her pills. Their insane love making night did it all. She can't punish the unborn for the mistake she made. Though she had already decided that if Vineet doesn't accept his mistake she will abort the child but now the situation is different, he accepts his mistake and takes steps to rectify it so she has to tell him the truth.

Vineet takes slow steps towards her, trying to digest the information she just gave him.

He forwarded his hand to touch her but pulled back, Anamika observed his action.

''Agar tumhe ismei mera saath nahi dena toh mujhe toh ye chahiye bhi nahi Vineet, i'll go for abortion. Tumhe sabse chutkara chahiye toh yahi sahi, do it the proper way. Jab pata chala ki i'm pregnant toh sirf aur sirf tumhare liye meine ye bhi accept kar liya, Janti toh tab bhi thi tum kya kar rahe ho fir ek chance diya meine par tumhe nahi dena toh thik hai'' She spoke and turns, this time he holds her hand and pulls her in his embrace breaking down in tears.

''Vineet chodo mujhe, tumhe sab khatam hi karna hai toh kar hi dete hai na. Jo tumhe hi nahi chahiye toh main karu bhi kya iska, leave me!" She tries to push him.

She was enraged, because he has started to do things which are not expected from him. First that project and now his words regarding their relationship. He was never like this, his economic crisis made him brainless at least she feels so.

Vineet tightens his grip, ''Nahi...nahi...nahi, please. Meine... Meine bahut intezaar kiya hai iss din ka please aisa maat karo, pleasee!'' He pleaded sobbing bitterly.

As he sobs louder she holds him. Things went wrong, they had fights and arguments but one truth is she still loves him no matter what. She made him sit on the bed and settled on his lap crossing her legs either side.

She cups his face, his tears wet her palm.

''Cheejein bigad gayi, hadh se aage badh gayi, itne saalon mei pehli baar hamara jhagda hua. I know inhe bhulana tumhare liye easy nahi hoga lekin tumhe koshish toh karni padegi na. Ye easy mere liye bhi nahi, mujhe toh yakeen bhi nahi ho raha tha ki tumne aisa kuch kiya, shayad aab bhi nahi.''

Vineet silently stares at her, listening to her carefully. Anamika caressed his chest, his heart was accelerating like a train, fast and loud.

''Chahe jitne up and down aye, arguments ho, ladai ho par jab tak tum ya main ek dusre ke saath loyal rahe aur ek dusre ki sune tab tak sab sahi hi hai. Aur abhi bhi sab sahi hai, I still love you baby!" She exclaims as she touches her head with him, she pecked his cheek.

Vineet embraces her, submitting himself to her. He doesn't want anything that would hurt his family, he has already committed a mistake getting their anger but not again. Because none help him in his need, when his business falls behind his investors which pushes him to accept Ranga's plan, he shouldn't have done that. He should have first discussed it with his mother and wife.

He let out a sigh, he will never repeat the mistake - never ever.

''I love you too!!" He confesses parting from her, she smiles at him and cups his face.

She leans closer to him and presses her lips on him with love and respect, he reciprocates in the same manner.

Their new beginning of life starts with love, respect and new responsibilities.

...

**The End**
