Krishn felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. His body trembled as the truth settled deep into his soul—Ram wasn’t just a man he had despised, fought against, and nearly killed. Ram was his brother. His twin.

"Maine… maine apne hi bhai ko maarne ki koshish ki…" His voice cracked, full of disbelief and unbearable guilt.

Shreya look at him with tears-

Vasudev was broken- he felt anger, guilt and Pain inside his heart

Krishn:- jisse main apna dushman samajhta raha… woh toh mera bhai nikla…

"Ram…" he whispered, his lips trembling.

Shreya dropped to her knees beside him, wrapping her arms around him tightly, trying to hold him together as he shattered in her embrace. She could feel his tears soaking into her shoulder, his body trembling violently against hers.

Shreya:- bas, Krishn… bas. Tumhe apne aap ko itna dukh nahi dena chahiye…

she murmured, running her fingers through his hair, but he only clutched onto her tighter.

Jai Vasudev and Anirudh stood frozen, guilt written all over their faces. Suddenly they listen the voice of glass breaking

Shivansh broke the glass in his hand- burning in anger..

Jai took a step forward toward krishn but Krishn shows his hand

Krishn:- aage mat badhiyaga sir, maina hamesha aapki izzat ki hai aaj kahi aisa na ho jaya ki mera muh se aapka liya kuch aisa shabdh nikal jaya jisse aapko bura lage

Jai:- bura toh mujhe lag raha krishn... bura iss baat ka ki Ram zinda kyun hai

Shivansh:- Zinda kyun hai? Aap nahi chahta ki hamara bhai zinda rahe

Siya:- SHIVANSH

Shivansh look at siya, shreya looks at the family and then she goes outside

Shivansh:- mujhpar mat chillao siya.. pucho apna papa se siya ki kyun inhone kabhi hame sach nahi bataya

Siya look at jai who is looking down in guilt..

Anirudh:- shiv isme jai ki galti nahi hai... jo hua wo ham sab bhi bhool nahi sakta

"Kya nahi bhool sakte" they listen a voice

Krishn look up and saw Ram who is wearing his shirt and pants

Ram:- maaf karna main aisa bina bataya andar a gaya

Shreya:- tumhe maafi mange ki jarurat nahi hai wesa

Ram look at shreya

Shreya:- accha lag rahe ho

Ram:- Villains acche bhi lagta hai?

Everyone look at him, ram spoke softly but there is something in his words

Shreya:- Ram tum Villain nahi ho

Ram:- main hoon shreya, maina galat kaam kiya hai toh villain hua na- mein tumhari tarah ek agent nahi ek terrorist hoon wo alag baat hai ki tum or krishn mahan ho... kuch jyada hi dil saaf nahi aap dono ka

Shreya:- tum tareef hi kar rahe hona

Ram looks down and sighs

Ram:- hmm...

Siya:- lekin lag toh nahi raha hai

Ram look at siya- finally she spoke something to him

Ram:- shreya tumne mera liya jo kiya uska liya thank you so much... now i should leave

Krishn: tum nahi jaoge

Ram:- kyu? I mean ab mera yaha koi kaam nahi hai- aur mein nahi chahta ki aap logo ki life mein meri wajha se aur problems create ho

Jai:- aisa kuch nahi hoga beta tum yaha ruk

Ram:- aap please mujhe beta mat kahiya...

Jai and Anirudh look at him

Ram:- shreya

Shreya look at him

Ram:- main jaane se pehle tumse kuch kehna tha isliya yaha a aaya..

Shreya:- kaho na ram..

Ram hesitated

Shreya:- i won't judge you...

Ram look at her and she smiled

Ram:- tumhari maa ki jaan khatra main hain

Everyone get shocked- shreya feels like whattt

Shreya:- ye tum kya

Ram:- jab main yaha krishn bankar aaya tha toh mujhe tumhe kidnap karne ke saath ek aur kaam diya tha.. Chhavi Aunty ko ek injection dena tha jiski wajha se wo kabhi coma main se bahar nahi aaya

Siya:- toh kya tumne wo injection diya

Ram:- nahi

Krishn:- kyun nahi?

Ram look at krishn, krishn comes forward to him

Krishn:- kyun nahi kiya.. tumhe jis kaam ke liya bheja tha wo tumne kiya phir ye kyun nahi

Ram:- tumhari wajha se

Krishn get frowned

Ram:- mind mat karna krishn.. lekin jo pyaar jo apnapan mena yaha dekha haina pehle kabhi nahi dekha, tumhari family ke beach rehkar apna sa laga mujhe

Vasudev look him

Ram:- aur der se hi sahi lekin samjh aaya ki apno ko takleef nahi deni chahiye.. main nahi kar paya

Krishn look at him with tears

Ram:- mujhe do kaam diya gaya the, shreya ka kidnap karke usse hamare boss ke samne le jaana aur dusra chhavi aunty ko injection dena.. aur main dono hi nahi kar paya

Siya:- tumne shreya ka kidnap toh kiya

Ram:- lekin mission sirf shreya ka kidnap nahi tha

Jai:- toh phir kya tha

Ram looks down- Jai comes forward and put his hand on ram's shoulder

Jai:- please ram...  please mujhe batao ki kya baat hai itna mahino se cheen se neend nahi mili hai mujhe

Ram:- I hate you

Jai look at him seeing tears

Ram:- aap itna accha kyun sir... ki main aapko hate nahi kar paya mera papa ke katil se nafrat hi nahi ho rahi mujhe

Everyone get shocked-

Krishn: papa ke katil?

Ram looks down tears falling from his eyes.

Vasudev:- kon hai tumhare papa

Ram:- pata nahi

He said slowly

Ram:- mena kabhi apna parents ko nahi dekha inki wajha se

He look at jai who is confused

Ram:- aapne mera parents ko cheen liya mujhse.. mera father ke murderer hai aap

Shivansh: ye tum kya keh rahe ho ram..  tumhara papa toh

Shreya:- Bhaiya

Shivansh look at shreya.. who nods no

Shreya:- Ram

Ram look at shreya

Shreya:- Ye kisne kaha tumse ki Jai sir ne tumhare papa ka murder kiya hai

Ram:- Tej uncle or Boss ne

Vasudev get angry- jai understood

Jai:- tej ne tumhe kaha ki meina tumhara papa ka murder kiya hai

Ram nod

Jai:- ye sach hai!

Krishn shreya look at jai with frowned

Jai:- meina aaj tak criminals ki jaan li hai mena hi nahi Anirudh aur Vasudev ne bhi criminals ka encounter kiya hai that means tumhara papa bhi criminal honge... agar beta criminal hai toh baap bhi hoga hi... Ab har beta krishn ki tarah nahi hota hai apna baap ki tarah desh ka rakhwala nahi hota.

Ram gets angry- while the team mates where suprised

Ram:- mera papa criminal nahi ho sakte

Jai:- tumhe kesa papa ram.. tum toh ye bhi nahi janta ki tumhare papa kon hai? Pehle ye pata karo ki wo kon hai phir mujhse nafrat karna

Ram look at jai and smiled

Ram:- you're different

Jai chuckled

Jai:- i know!! I am the best one here..

Shivansh and krishn look at eachother- not understanding anything

Jai put his hand on Ram's shoulder again

Jai:- tum yahi rahoge ram

Ram look at him

Jai:- yaha rahoge.. mujhe sab batao ge aur khud apna papa ko dhundhoge... aur mein madat karungi tumhari tum apna papa ko dhund lo, unka murder hua toh kyun hua jaan lo agar meri galti hui toh meri jaan le lena..

Ram:- aap sach main weird ho.. tej uncle was right

Jai:- he was never right ram- jo insaan terrorist ke liya kaam kar sakta hai apna team mates ko desh ko dhoka de sajta hai, jo insaan apni team mate ki beti ka rape karne ki koshish kar sakta hai, apna teammates ki jaan lena ki koshish kar sakta hai wo insaan right kesa ho sakta hai

Ram:- but he was the only family for me sir

Jai look at him

Ram:- He was bad- but he took care of me when i have no one. He loved me

Jai:- agar aisa hai toh usne tumhe tumhare papa ke barema kyun nahi bataya?

Ram get shocked

Jai:- agar tumhare tej uncle accha hai toh unhone tumhe tumhari family ke barema pata karne ki koshish kyun nahi ki... Tej was a agent uska liya kisi ke maa baap dhundhna itna bhi mushkil nahi hai. Aur tum bhi toh ek terrorist hi ho agar krishn ke barema itna sab kuch pata karke uski jagah le sakta ho toh apna father ko kyun nahi dhund sakta

Ram was speechless

Jai:- wesa isme tumhari galti bhi nahi hai.. tumhe jo bataya jo dikhaya jo sikhaya tum vahi sikha.. you're like a dog!! Gaali nahi de raha hoon just saying the fact ke kutta sabse vafadaar hota.. aur tum bhi wesa hi ho bass galat jagah vafadaari dikhai.. Desh ka liya karta chalo koi nahi har koi desh bhakt nahi hota lekin khud se hi vafadaari kar leta beta apna liya karta na.. Apna aap ko dhundhne ke liya karta

Shreya:- Sir sahi keh raha hai Ram!! You're not a villain..  Tumhe bass villain banaya gaya hai apna matlab ke liya

Ram:- main nahi pata karunga

Krishn look at him

Ram:- Agar aapka kehna sach hai toh main iss sach ko accept nahi karna chahta, mera tej uncle bad the but sirf wahi ek insaan the jinhone mujhe sambhala.. agar sach pata karne par mujhe ye pata chalta hai ki tej uncle ne mujhe cheat kiya hai toh iss betrayal ke baad main khud ko sambhal nahi paunga

Krishn:- toh ham sambhal lega

Ram look at krishn

Krishn:- main hoon na.. main apna bhai ko sambhal lunga

Ram eyes get emotional- krishn assured him

Krishn:- main hoon tumhara saath ram!!

Ram:- tum itna accha kyun ho

Krishn:- agar main accha hoon toh tum konsa bura insaan ho, tum toh atrangi ho main shreya siya shivansh bhaiya ham sab apna desh ke liya apna parivaar ke liya jaan dena ko tayaar hai lekin tum.. tum tumne toh apna dushman ke liya mera liya apni jaan de di.. itna bada jigra hai tumhara yaar!!

Ram smiles then he look at shreya

Shreya:- nahi ja raha ho tum

Ram look at everyone! Then agreed..

2 Hours Later

Krishn and shivansh comes inside Vasudev Room finding Jai and Anirudh also

Anirudh:- buddha ho gaya hai ab tu... dekh kitna bukhaar hai

Jai:- apna khaane peena ka dhiyan hi nahi hai

Shreya:- papa ab kesa lag raha hai

Vasudev:- main theek hoon beta

Krishn:- papa

Vasudev look at krishn and shivansh. They both come infront of him and then sit on their knees holding their ears make vasudev suprised

Shivansh:- sorry papa

Krishn:- i know hamne aapko indirectly hurt kiya hai.. Ram ka sach pata chalna ke baad main emotional ho gaya tha aur gussa a raha tha mujhe khud pe lekin mena mera gussa aap ke upar utaar diya

Shivansh:- maaf kar dijiye jai sir... mena gussa main aapko bura bhala keh diya.. really sorry mujhe maaf kar

Jai:- ab tum dono ne jyada sorry sorry kiya na toh tum dono ko main ek ek thappad laga dunga

Shivansh:- nahi nahi

Krishn look at vasudev who is still silent

Krishn:- main aapko jhooti umeed ya dilasa nahi dunga papa

Vasudev look at him

Krishn:- sab theek hoga nahi papa theek karna padega

Shreya:- lekin sab theek karne se pehle sach chupana hoga

Krishn:- lekin kyun shreya main apna bhai se

Shivansh:- shreya sahi keh rahi hai kanha, agar tu sach jaane ke baad aisa react kar sakta hai toh Ram kesa karega

Krishn realised

Jai:- shreya or shivansh sahi bol rahe hain... accha yahi hoga ki abhi Ram ko sach na pata chale aur ham ye bhi nahi janta ki Ram ko tej ne kya kya kaha hai.... itna saalon tak ram ke saath kya kya hua sab pata karna hoga

Krishn nods!!
