Siddharth blinked his eyes before turning and looking at Atika, who was feeling helpless, a crying mess. Siddharth was now feeling so ashamed that he never felt it in his whole life. Atika was still begging Avneet but stopped when Avneet said.

"I am sorry aunty, I can't lie to everyone anymore, especially Siddharth. What you have done is done by you. I am not involved in it anywhere. If anyone doesn't trust me, they can check my phone, everything." Spoke Avneet coming out of Atika's grip who was looking at her blankly. Siddharth sharply exhaled turning Atika towards him. She was already scared of her anger.

"No, I did everything for my daughter. I did everything for her happiness." Whispered Atika which no one heard but Avneet.

"Your daughter's happiness is not with Siddharth but with one whom she loves." Whispered Avneet confidently back that too no one could hear. Atika looked at at blankly.

"You don't need to trap her now, I trust her blindly. I have seen how you need to threaten her, torture her but the thing is I never imagined that the one whom I always considered my mother will go to such an extent. You will have this much jealousy towards me and Avneet that you destroy everything just to make us separate. You were my mother. Are mothers like this?" declared Siddharth with disappointment dipping from his words. Each and every word escaped his word was scaring Atika more. He left her seeing Jannat sobbing and looking down, while Mr. Sharma was crying side hugging her. He again glanced her Atika.

"I did everything you wanted. I married Jannat, forcefully at your demand. I tried to make my relationship better with her knowing that I have a wife whom I love to the core of my heart. The one who was my friend became my wife and I couldn't fulfill her rights. I couldn't give the rights which my wife deserved too. I didn't sleep with her not even one day because I wasn't able to give Avneet's place to her. Then too just because of you. I didn't want to disobey you, and I didn't complain but you didn't leave any choice for me. But now I won't let her destroy more." busted Siddharth again seeing Jannat's tears on Atika who was a crying mess. Atika gulped down in fear looking at Siddharth first time at his bursting anger. Siddharth glanced at Avneet who also didn't know what was his next step. Avneet shook her head indicating to him not to take any step before thinking but Siddharth wasn't in the mood to listen to her, at least not this time. He went near Jannat dragging her hands in his. She looked at him as he kissed her hands softly. 

"I know I did very wrong with you. If you remember that day, you had complaints that why did I marry you? I was your best friend. Yes, today also I am your best friend, and today knowing everything I can't punish you anymore. That's why I have taken a big decision." he took a deep breath again glancing at her before speaking. 

"I, Siddharth Nigam am giving divorce to you Jannat, who is the daughter of Manesh Sharma." everyone's eyes widen in shock. Avneet was having tears and guilt in her eyes hearing it. He was mending her mistake. That's when Siddharth was dragged from his arm and he got a slap which widen his eyes in shock. He slowly traced his fingers on his cheek and looked at the person to find Abhishek standing there with anger in his eyes.

"Abhi/ Abhi bhai!" Avneet and Vaishnavi yelled at the same time. Their eyes were wide open. They looked at each other while Avneet placed her hand on her mouth in shock. Siddharth looked at her with tears trimming from his eyes.

"Are you in your senses, Siddharth? Do you know what you are saying? I accepted everything which you showed me as proof. Do you think marriage as a joke like Atika Aunty? Do you think it's joke to first marry and then divorce? Huh? It is a lifetime promise, Siddharth!" Ranged Abhishek trying to control himself but couldn't. That's when, Siddharth also lost control on himself.

"No, I don't think it's a joke that is why I am giving her divorce. Do you think we can life happily? I don't know about myself but yes, Jannat can't. I can't keep her handing forever knowing that she loves someone. You tell me na, suppose if one day you find that Vaishnavi di doesn't loves you and just married you because of pressure. You come to know that she loves someone being your wife. What will you do? Keep this forced relationship for the whole life? Will you be able to live happily with her knowing that she doesn't love you?" Ranged Siddharth back at Abhishek with tears flowing through his eyes continuously. Abhishek went numb at his question. Siddharth got silence in return.

"You won't, right? I can't be so much merciless that I keep hanging a girl who could life a better life after divorcing me." Whispered Siddharth as more tears fell from his eyes. He again turned to see Jannat who was crying badly looking down.

"We were never at fault, Jannat but then too we both suffered." Said Siddharth softly, politely. Jannat looked up to see him already looking at her.

"I-I am sorry, I misunderstood you. I am so sorry!" She apllogized still not controlling herself. Atika was still crying, regretting cursing her fate. Siddharth held Jannat from her shoulders.

"You don't need to be. I am giving you divorce. I am giving you divorce and you will get your papers soon." Spoke Siddharth taking steps back. He looked around to see Atika sitting on the couch crying badly and his anger again rose to the top.

"I have done one more decision. I will not live in this home anymore, where there is no peace, no love for others with no respect. I and Avneet will leave this home tonight itself." He spoke in a stern yet dangerous voice. Abhishek looked at him in shock. Siddharth took 3 steps back and dragged Avneet's hand.

"Ashu, you won't go anywhere. Ashuuu!" Abhishek yelled but Siddharth didn't listen to anyone and started climbing stairs dragging Avneet with him. Vaishnavi, who also had tears in her eyes placed her hand on his shoulder. Abhishek looked at her.

"Vaishu, ask him not to leave. Please, he is only my one brother. I don't want him to get separated please!" He whispered in a panic, looking at Vaishnavi who held his hands in hers.

"Abhi, calm down. He won't go anywhere. He won't go anywhere. I promise!" Assured Vaishnavi in a weak voice. Abhishek's eyes caught Atika who was sitting on the bed holding her head in her hands. He paced till her.

"It's all because of you. He is leaving us just because of you. I swear, I swear to god if he leaves today, I won't ever forgive you throughout my life." He assured pointing his index finger towards her. She  just looked down not accepting the results of her own mess. Abhishek went from there followed by Vaishnavi who was calling him from behind. There was complete silence. No words just sobs, sniffs and whimpering were heard all around.

"You destroyed everything, mom. Not Siddharth's but atleast you should have cared about me once. I feel like I am not your blood daughter even." Whispered Jannat who was numb now, tired of crying. Her father sitting beside her also crying for her wife's stupidity and Jannat.

"Jannat beta, I......" Atika was cutt off by her daughter who stood up in anger.

"Don't, don't you dare call me your daughter. I am not your daughter. Mothers don't do such big frauds with their daughters. You are not my mother. You were never my mother. My mother is dead, you are not my mother." Jannat yelled in anger with tears flowing continuously from her eyes. She ran to her room as soon as Atika stood up to hug her.

"You snatched everything from us, Atika. Everything." Spoke Mr. Sharma seeing her in disgust with anger in his eyes. He also left from there leaving Atika alone who sat on her knees hiccuping holding her head.

"I meant my daughter's happiness only." She kept mumbling sitting on the cold floor, crying. No matter, how truth always comes out and one can't be happy after destroying or forcing others. It is all destiny. One will find her/his soul mate when it is written in our destiny and if one tried to change destiny, he/she will destroy theirseves only rather than others. One has to accept what is written in fate and now matter how much you try.
