Thanks for all the love, 2 mysteries now revealed! Yay! Do let me know your thoughts.

Roshana opened the bottle of pills, swallowing some she downed some water and then slid to the floor. Her head was pounding as she picked up the ringing phone by her side.
"Assalaam-o-Alaikum" she whispered, her eyes faltering close, she opened them weakly, trying to focus on the phone call

"Wa'alaikum Salaam, Ammi, its Zoya, are you okay" her voice was laced with concern, almost like she knew

She sniffed "Im okay, you" it was a lie of course.

Zoya sighed in relief "Im okay ammi"

"Hum apse beinteha mohabbat karte you know that, I would never let you get hurt if I could help it, tell Noor the same" Roshana's eyes filled with tears at all the years of pain, and the loving family she was about to leave behind

Zoya nodded "I know, we love you to, if something was wrong, you'd tell me right"

"Of course, Khuda hafez Zoya" she couldn't stay on the phone any longer, it was just to painful

"Khuda hafez Ammi" she heard before cutting the phone, she allowed it to drop from her hand, then her eyes rolled back

"No" she groaned "I cant do this, I cant leave them" she forced herself up and to the bathroom, leaning over the sink to be sick when she looked back into the mirror her face paled

"N-" she let out before Pooja put her hand over her mouth and injected her arm, Roshana fell back into Pooja's arms, her eyes shut

"Now, make sure you get these pills in your system so it looks like an overdose" she muttered. Then stood up after finishing her job, dragging her back into the room "Goodbye Roshana" she laughed, climbing back out the window

Pooja opened the car door to see Harsh waiting for her "Hello, the job is done" she smiled, pulling him up by his shirt then pressing her lips to his, "Do your family know im on bail yet"

Harsh shook his head "Nope"

"I love" her eyes narrowed, her concentration elsewhere when she said "I love Yash"

Aditya moved his hands from her hips, his eyes narrowing. "You still love Yash" he asked, disgusted that he had allowed himself to get so close to Zoya when she would never let herself become close to him

Zoya ignored his words and walked forward, tears filling her eyes as she let out a sob "Yash", it had been so long. All this time she thought he was dead, and he wasnt. Zoya had no idea what to feel or how to act, all she knew was that he was there, right before her eyes

Aditya turned fast to see Zoya stood before Yash. His chest tightened as Zoya raised her hand, cupping Yash's cheek

Harsh stepped inside "So tell me daughter in law, how you can marry my son when your husband is alive"

Zoya still couldnt speak, the first man she had fallen in love with was stood before her, alive and breathing. All of their memories flooded her head, then all of his deceit "It was you, in the hood right"

Yash nodded, he pulled off his glasses, wiping his tears "Zo, im so sorry, for everything I have done, I learnt my lesson, I just wanted to keep you safe" he went to touch her shoulder, then put his hand down
"I, I dont know how to make this right Zoya, but I want to, one last chance please, I can make you happy again" he begged

Zoya took a deep breath "Im not doing this right now, its my husbands mothers birthday, get out of my room" she pointed outside, slamming the door when Harsh and Yash walked out. She turned slowly to face Aditya "Just know, what I said, I didnt mean to say it" she reffered to her saying she loved Yash

But Aditya assumed she meant the first part where she thanked him.
He shrugged "Dont worry about it, its not like I love you, so im not hurt, im way stronger than that Zo"

Zoya frowned "Zoya, dont ever call me Zo" she was sad Aditya didnt reciprocate her feelings, but she understood why.

Aditya clenched his fists "Why because thats what he calls you huh"

Zoya breathed heavy "Yes, because I hate hearing him call me Zo after everything he did" but her words were in vain as Aditya had already walked out

Harsh stood up, "If me bringing Yash back still wasnt enough, then I will scare her out of the house"

Mahi stood up, slightly nervous "What do you mean"

Harsh smiled "Oh, you'll see"

Zoya looked up as Harsh entered the bedroom. She backed up against the bed as he shut the door

"No, get out"

Harsh shook his head "Go on, scream, the music is so loud no one will hear you" he pulled off his tie, throwing it to the floor then ripped his shirt apart

"Please, dont do this" Zoya begged when she was shoved back onto the bed, he grabbed her wrists pinning them above her head then tied them up with her scarf, he pushed his knee between her legs pushing them apart, then littered sloppy kisses across her neck

Aditya looked over at Yash, where was Zoya?
He guessed he would have to swallow his pride and ask
"You seen Zoya"

Yash shook his head "Think shes still in the room"

Anjana ran over "Is Harsh not coming down" she asked sadly

"Shit" shouted Aditya, running up the stairs, Yash ran ahead of him and to the room

Harsh jumped up as the door was shoved open.

Zoya stood up shakily, her eyes red from the crying, her dress ripped. Yash walked over, taking off his blazer and wrapping it around her shoulders, she flinched painfully as he untied her wrists.

Aditya ran into the room, breathless and angry as he glanced over, then before he could move Zoya was running towards him, she wrapped her arms around him tightly "Aditya" she sobbed.
He lifted his arms and held her tightly "Shh, its okay Zoya, ive got you, you're safe" he cooed as he rocked her softly

Yash looked over shocked, Zoya hadn't ran to him. Instead she had ran to Aditya when she looked for solace
