The proceedings started and Aarav kept a few new facts in front. He turned and eyed Manvi who was staring at Deep and he had been passing her a threatening look.

"Your honour main Mr. Vineet se kuch sawal karna chahta hun" the opposition lawyer said.

Vineet was bewildered but moved towards the witness box. He asked "kya sochke aapne apni beti ka rishta Deep se kiya tha?"

"Secured job hai! Ek toh baar mulakat ki thi acha laga.. Ya natak hi tha" he said eyeing at Deep with anger.

"Aap mante hai maa baap apne bacho ke liye sahi faisle lete hai?" he asked.

He nodded in yes, "toh phir aap kaise kah sakte hai Deep aur uske parivaar waale bure log hai! Shaadi se pehle aapne puchtach kyun nahi ki?" he questioned.

"Ho jaati hai galti maa baap se bhi! Bhagwaan nahi hai hum.." he replied.

Deep's lawyer asked a few more questions and Aarav had it enough.

"sahi kaha aapne meri client jhoothi hai! Koi dahej ke liye unki saas ne unka haath nahi jalaya.. Aur deep se zyda acha pati toh koi ho hi nahi sakta..." Aarav said leaving everyone in complete shock.

Vineet rolled his eyes towards him shockingly "Aarav ye kya kah rahe ho"

"sach sir! Kaha kuch dard takleef hai aapki beti abhi toh doston ke saath maze karke aayi hai... dance bhi toh kiya! Sahi kaha inhone character toh aapki beti ka hi kharab hai.." Aarav taunted.

"Mr. Aarav aap shayad bhool rahe hai aap case unke liye ladh rahe hai" the judge reminded him.

"jhooth hai my lord! Meri client Manvi Deep Agnihotri apne pati ke saath wapas jaana chahti hai! Unke maa baap ne jhootha case kiya hai deep aur uske parivar par" Aarav shouted a lot.

Ruhana and Vineet looked at him shockingly.

"Jhootha case kiya na aapne" Aarav questioned him, leaving Vineet completely perplexed at his behaviour.

"toh bhik gaya tumhara imaan bhi" Vineet argued with him.

"Yahan baat aapki ho rahi hai.." Aarav replied with a smirk on his face.

Aarav and Vineet continued arguing. 

Manvi eyed Deep who was smiling. She recalled everything and tears slipped down her eyes. She looked at her father who was getting blamed.

"saza toh aapko bhi honi chahiye! aapne bhi toh dahej diya na.." Aarav said

"haan diya hui galti mujhse.. sirf beti ki khushi ke liye kiya tha! agar pata hota iss parivar ke liye insaan se zyada zaroori paisa hai toh kabhi apni beti ki shaadi uss ghar mein nahi karta main! sahi kaha tumne saza toh milni chahiye ek baap ko jo usne apni beti ke baare mein socha... iss desh ki yahi pratha rahi hai beti paida hoti hai toh maa baap uska dahej ikhata karne mein jud jaate hai.. uske aane ki khushiyan toh manayi nahi jaati hai.. aur tum batao bade se badi shaadiyon mein gifts jo diye jaate hai wo bhi toh dahej hi hai farak sirf itna hai bade logo ko isse farak nahi padta hai unke paas hai paisa umar bhar dene ke liye.. lekin main ek middle class aadmi hun Aarav jiske liye uski beti uska guroor hai aur iss insaan se use hi todke rakh diya! saza toh honi chahiye na maine hi saupi thi isey apni beti.." he said with teary eyes. 

Manvi gets tears in her eyes hearing her father. Ruhana glanced at her daughter and hope she will now break her silence. 

Aarav smiled hearing him "sach  kaha aapne yeh case ab aapke khilaf hi hona chahiye" he commented. 

"Mr. Malhotra aap shayad bhool rahe hai aap unke liye case ladh rahe hai.." the judge said 

"janta hun main your honour par iss baar mujhse galti ho gayi hai.. inhone jhooth bola" he blamed him. 

"nahi.. Papa ne koi jhooth nahi bola" she gets up and shouts aloud.

Vineet and Aarav stopped arguing. A broad smile appears on Ruhana's face. She can bear anything but not insult of her father who meant everything to her. 

"Mrs Manvi aapko jo kehna hai yahan aake kahiye" the judges instructed her.

She looked on at her father who is still guilty about the wrong choice of life partner for her. She then rolled her eyes towards her mother who fought with every single person of the society and never sent her back to her in-laws house.

She walked towards the witness box and stood on it. Aarav questioned "kiska intezar kar rahi thi station pe baithi hui.. Raat bhar!"

"deep ki maa ne mujhse kaha tha jabtak main paise nahi laati ghar na lautun. Main janti thi papa ne kaise shaadi karayi aur unhe dahej diya.. Aur nahi de sakte they.. Aur agar raat ko jaati toh wo samajh jaate.. Unhe takleef nhi dena chahti thi isliye subah hone tak wahi thi aur phir jhooth kaha unke saath rehne aayi hun kuch din" she replied

The other lawyer asked her "itna hi bura pati tha toh kyu sab sehti rahi sab aap? Sach toh ye hai aap mere client ko mentally harass kar rahi thi! Unhe fasa rahi thi..."

She shouted "Mentally harass? Aap jante kya hota hai?? Main batati hun aapko! Emotionally blackmail karna... dhamkana baat na maano toh haath uthana.. Are maine aapni maa ke diye hue gehne kya maang liye wapas mujhe belt se maara aapke so called ache insaan ne.. Ye kaafi nahi tha toh zabardasti karna... kal kya kare ye sochke darr lagta tha maa papa ko chahke bhi kuch nahi kah paati thi main! Aasan lagta hai aapko hmm? Sabke saamne apne ghav chupana make up ke peeche.." she lightly lowered her kurti from her shoulder and showed the mark.

"2 saal ho gaye hai par ye nishaan nahi gaye hai! Aur shayad kabhi jayenge bhi nahi.. Mental harras mujhe aur mere parivar ko hua.. Kyu jau main wapas? Apne ghar se bahar nikalne mei darr lagta hai.. Koi haath bhi rakhde na kaap uthiti hun main... Ye insaan mera peecha karte hue aa gaya mujhe dhamka raha tha wapas aa jau warna phirse wahi sab karega... aur bardasht nahi hota.. Nahi Hota.. Uss din papa nahi aaye hote toh shayad main zinda nahi rehti... are koi aur maa baap hote toh keh dete shaadi ho gayi hai tum sambhalo samjhota karo par nahi sabse ladh rahe hai.. Khudse bhi aur aap unhe jhootha kah rahe hai! Sawal deep aur uske parivar se kijiye mujhse nahi... "

"mujhe apne hi maa baap se phone pe baat nahi karne diya jaata tha! iss darr se kahi mere maa baap ki badnaami na ho jaye main unse jhooth bol deti thi.. din raat ye samaaj mujhe aur mere maa baap ko zalil karta hai! de do na paise kyun court mein jaa rahe ho? society waale aa jaate hai mujhe bachalan kehne.. mere maa baap ko koshne koi ye nahi puchta ki Manvi tum thik ho?? zyada takleef toh nahi hai tumhe? are na jee paa rahi hun main na marr paa rahi hun main! mere papa ki aankhon mein wo sharmindagi dekhayi deti hai mujhe ki unhone apni beti ke liye galat insaan chuna.. agar bhoolna bhi chahe na toh koi unhe bhoolne nahi deta hai ye baat.. meri maa mujhe samabhal rahi hai mere papa ko sambhal rahi hai par khud andar se toot rahi hai.. ek middle class ghar ki ladki thi main! jinse bade sapne nahi dekhe par jitne dekhe na unhe mere maa baap ne pura kiya! mujhe himmat di sahi galat se ladna seekhaya aur sanskar bhi diye rishto ko nibhana bhi sikhaayaa.. bachpan se unhe dekha maine unke pyaar ko dekha aur wahi chawi na maine apne mann mein banayi thi apni shaadi ko leke aur wo sapna jab toota na toh sab khatam ho gaya... sab kuch! are beti chahe jitni bhi padhle lekin dahej ka len den toh hona hi hai... uska maan samaan koi manyne nahi rakhta hai.. kyun mera ek beti hona sharp ban gaya hai?? Agar maine Deep se uchi awaaz mein baat ki toh wo galat aur ye kare toh mard hai kar sakta hai?? mera naukri karna galat kyun? Damaad ko sarakho par bithake rakha jaata hai lekin bahu ko milte hai taane ya phir maut.. agar pati shaadi ke baad kisi ladki se has bol le toh thik lekin wahi ladki kare toh besharam? talaak ho jayega toh betiyon pe talaakshuda ka thappa.. jeena muskil samaaj mein aur vidwa ke liye toh alag hi niyam lekin agar beta talaakshuda hai toh yuh hoti hai uski dusri shaadi khush hai.. koi use nahi dekhta hai buri nazar se.. kyun har baat pe judge humhe kiya jaata hai kyun?? kyunn?? sawal Deep se karo uske parivar se mujhse aur mere maa baap se nahi please..." she drops on the floor bursting into tears.

Most of the eyes were moist hearing her statement. Ruhana and Vineet had tears in their eyes hearing their daughter's outburst. She finally broke her silence and let the volcano inside her erupt. She finally had the breakdown which was much needed to free her from pain. 

Silence prevailed in the courtroom. The judge was emotional hearing her,  she adjourned the court for a lunch break.

Aarav wipes tears from his eyes and smiled as his reverse psychology worked and she spoke the entire truth.

Ruhana goes to Manvi and brings her back. Vineet hands over the glass of water, she eyed him and he wiped her tears.

"proud of you.." he said.

She apologizes "I am sorry.. Meri wajah se aap dono ko itna kuch sehna padh raha hai"

"tune jo saha usse toh kum hai" Ruhana replied and Manvi closed her eyes for a moment.

The court restarts and Aarav gives his final statement "maafi chahta hun subah hue drame ke liye... agar nahi karta toh meri client aapko sachai kah hi nahi paati deep ke darr se! Ye University ki cctv footage jisme kis tarah Deep zabardasti meri client ko le jaane ki koshish kar raha hai! Your honour bahut sah hai Manvi aur unke maa baap ne. Ek baap chahta hai uski galti sudharna... uss insaan ko saza dilwana jisne unki beti ko sirf dard diya jhootha pyaar dikhake.. Aur ek maa chahti hai unki beti bina kisi darr se phirse zindagi ki shuruwat kar sake.. Meri client ko jaan ka khatra hai inse main bas aapse yahi request karta hai inhe divorce dilwaya jaye aur saza di jaye dahej ke lalchi logo ko"

"aap kuch sawal karna chahenge Miss Manvi se?" the judge questioned  the other lawyer.

"yes" he nodded. Manvi 

He bows down and the other lawyer gives his statement. The judge writes something and glances at everyone "yeh Adalat Mr Ankush, Mrs. Yamini aur Arohi section 498 Indian Penal court, section 2 dowry prohibition act ke aadhar pe apni bahu Mrs Manvi ko dahej ke liye manzik hi nahi shahrarik yatna dene ke jurm mein 7 saal ki saza sunati hai. Mr. Deep ko marital rape, domestic violence ke liye bhi 10 saal ki saza sunati hai! Aur Aarav Malhotra se request karti hai foran divorce documents wo court mein submit kare!  The court is adjourned.. " she places the hammer hard and leaves from there.

RuVi were pleased hearing the verdict. Finally, the battle they have been fighting comes to an end.

The police began to take Deep and his family. Ruhana smiled and said "kaha tha apni beti ko wapas nahi bhejungi... "

Deep shouted "wapas aunga main samjhi.. Sharam nahi aati na tumhe apne hi pati ko iss tarah jail bhejte hue? Iss lawyer pe dil aa gaya hai na tumhara isliye utawli ho rahi hai mujhse chutkara paane ke liye"

Manvi slapped him hard on his face. "Shut up! Ek shabd aur nahi.. Pati ho toh pati ki tarah pesh toh aate.. Kya manga tha tumse? Thoda sa pyaar ijzat aur apnapan lekin kya diya tumne? Har baar mujhe jalil kiya hai tumne aur tumhare parivar waalo ne.. Zaroorat se zyada hi diya na mere papa ne shaadi mein phir bhi tum sabki bhook khatam nahi hui! Maine sab saha sirf isliye taaki mere maa baap ko takleef na ho par tumne toh unhe bhi beizzat kiya! Darti nahi hun tumse main ab samjhe.." she confronts him. The police take him away along with his family.

They moved out of the court and saw Aarav speaking to his assistant. He walked downstairs and the media surrounded him "ohho toh aap log phirse aa gaye! Aapke sawal shuru ho main jawab de deta hun.. Aaj bhi sach jeeta aur jhooth aaram se jail mein soh raha hai.. Umeed karta hun mujhe dursa case itni jaldi na mile kyuki mujhe chutti ki sakt zaroorat hai"

He walked away and attends the phone call. RuVi wanted to speak to him but the media surrounded them too. They couldn't even get a chance to thank him for everything he had done.
