No, proofread.

Nani and Mami were seething in anger seeing Shyam and most especially Arnav looking calm and wanting to give baby Kiara to him.

"Chote what nonsense is this?...... How can you decide to give our Kiara to Shyam? " Nani yelled almost on the verge of crying and Khushi rushed up to her supporting her.

Nani mellowed seeing Khushi and the tears in her eyes betrayed her as they streamed down her cheek.

"Nani let him finish and if you think he is wrong, we will apologize and send Shyam back to prison. "

Nani and Mami were skeptical, Mami looked at Payal who nodded and she decided to hear Arnav out as Anjali sat alone on the couch glaring at Shyam.

"We are not adopting Kiara because you and Mami are going to be her legal guardian and will be adopted by Mami at the moment for everything to be legal without any block on the way, we need both the signature of Shyam and Anjali to make it possible. "Nani and Mami let out a loud sigh of relief hearing this and Anjali also relaxed a little but was angry. "Mr. Roy is on his way and Shyam has been bailed out for the time being and you see the device around his ankle. " They all glanced at his feet and back to Arnav. "It's an ankle monitor and it will monitor all his movement until his trial in three weeks....... The court will decide his fate but for now, he may be free but not free completely....... He has undercover police watching and monitoring his every mood. "

"I don't care what he does but he has no say in this...... Get him out of here and back to prison where criminals like him belong. " Anjali retorted loudly staring at Nani and Mami excepting them to back her but she received none and she slouch on the couch looking defeated.

"Di you are not in the right mind to decide what we can and can not do for baby Kiara....... Khushi is busy and so is Payal....... AR designs will soon launch a bee collection for the year and we are all occupied...... Dadi and Maa are suitable for the role of raising Kiara and we will help when we are around....... Legally we don't even need your signature due to your mental state but we are including you out of respect that you are Kiara's mother..... We are nobody to decide where Shyam stays or does but at least he is not selfish like you who is only thinking about her pain and not the innocent child caught up in this bullshit caused by you two. " Akash yelled at Anjali who flinched and Mami who was standing beside him rubbed his back to calm him down.

"Anjali your brothers are right........ When it comes to Kiara, you are not our priority at the moment...... We all hate Shyam for what he did but the law is the law and he is out on bail until his trial......  I do believe he is changing because this would have been the perfect opportunity for him to get money from us but here he is ready to sign his rights away to us and never see Kiara again so put your anger and greed away for now and stop hindering our chance of finally correcting the mistake we made with you. " Nani utterly in a serious tone and Anjali who thought they were under her realized she has lost again.

The doorbell rang and entered Mr. Roy who made all of them sign the documents and took his leave leaving the family alone Shyam followed next but halted at the door.

"Arnav? " Shyam called out and everyone stared at him. "I know I don't deserve any sympathy from all of you but can I meet Kiara just this once....... I just want to know what she looks like and hold her for one last time and I promise never to bother anyone of you again."

Shyam was almost on the verge of crying and everyone excluding Anjali started to feel sorry for him but Arnav shook away the sympathy which was replaced by his protectiveness and was about to refuse but Nani beat him to it.

"Yes you can but you will have to do it in front of us....... Arnav, you and Akash go with him to the hospital." Nani said to Arnav who nodded reluctantly and she turned to Shyam who had a smile on his face which surprised Nani because he had never seen such a genuine smile from him since he married into the family four years ago. "You only meet her today but you stay away from her and us afterward. "

Shyam bobbles his head happily as his eyes shimmered with happy tears.

The men walked out leaving the women alone.

"Hello hi bye bye, satsuma are you sure this man is the criminal Shyam we know? " Mami exclaimed in shock as she walked up to Nani and sighed.

"Manu people change and I know us forcing him to go to the hospital with Anjali that day revived the humanity in him but unfortunately for Shyam, prison will be his only redemption. " Nani replied and Mami nodded.

They all heard sobbing and turned to find Anjali limping to her new room in tears.

"What do we do about her? " Payal asked.

"We help her as much as we can until her doctor gets here but I am no longer going to pamper and coddle her anymore...... I and Manu agreed to give her attention to monitoring here and not because we are back to being her puppets. " Payal and Khushi were stunned by Nani's words. "I made a huge mistake with her and I won't repeat it......... God has given me and Manu a chance to be a better parent in a way we were never to Akash, Arnav, and even Anjali...... This time we will raise Kiara right. "

Mami nodded at her words and Payal and Khushi pulled the two into a hug with smiles on their faces.

Laxmi Nagar.

All the neighbors stood around the house of the Guptas watching some men throw the belonging of Garima and Buaji out while Shashi sat in his wheelchair glaring at them with a worried Kamala behind him and Happyji instructing the men to hurry up and throw their stuff out.

"Happyji, you are his friend..... Please convince him to stop this. " Kamala begged folding her hands in front of Happy who stared at her stunned because she was feeling sorry for the woman who tried to hurt her.

"No," Shashi exclaimed glaring at Kamala which shocked Garima and Buaji who didn't know Shashi was gradually gaining control of his speech.

"After everything they did to you that day you are still defending them...... Don't have sympathy for this shameless women....... They are horrible people." Happy Singh advisedly warned Kamala who shit up hearing this.

"Happyji what did Garima and Madhu do? " Nirmala known as the queen of gossip asked standing behind the small fence of the Gupta house and Garima and Buaji glared at her.

Flashback.

After Kamala politely escorted the guests out of Payal's birthday party on Akash's order, Garima slapped Kamala who was about to give Shashi his medicine.

Everyone Happy, Shashi, the Prakash brothers, and some of the workers were shocked.

"You whore, Khushi brought you to take care of my husband and here you are trying to squirm your way into the family by seducing my husband. "

Kamala cried holding her abused cheek as she shook her head.

Buaji was about to attack Kamala when the Prakash brothers rushed and stood between her and Kamala shielding her from Buaji who was seething seeing how protective everyone was of her.

"Dare you to touch Kamalaji and we will report you to Nani and Arnav sir and they all won't spare you...... So go ahead and touch her....... I dare you." HP challenged and moved away making Buaji fume.

A loud slap resounded in the hall and everyone turned to find Garima holding her cheek staring at Happy Singh who had just slapped Garima.

"Don't you dare lay your hands on the only person apart from the girls who took care of Shashi...... Stop pretending you care about Shashi because I witnessed how you and this thing he calls a sister neglected him leaving Payal to handle everything while you go out attending parties...... I will support my best friend if she wants a good woman like Kamala...... Look at how my friend is glowing all because of her care....... Low leave from here before I tell Khushi what you have done and you know she doesn't play with Shashi and is capable of killing the two of you for Kamala also. "

Garima glared at Kamala as Buaji dragged her out.

Flashback ends.

"You too are such shameless women..... You forced Khushi to marry a man she barely knew all because you wanted to get rid of her, never help take care of Shashi and now you are attacking the woman who is taking care of him...... Shame on you. " Nirmala rebuked and the other neighbors went in and booed at them.

Garima started crying and rushed up to Shashi kneeling and holding his leg.

"Please don't kick us out...... We have nowhere to go. " Garima cried out and Happy Singh walked up to her.

"If you want this house then sign these papers. " Garima took the papers and was shocked to see divorce written boldly on top and she stared at Shashi. "Either sign the papers or get ready to be homeless. "

Garima with shaking hands and tears streaming down her face signed the papers and he smiled as she snatched the papers from her hand.

Happy Singh signaled the men to take their things back into the house and they did just that.

Shashi and Kamala left with Happy Singh leaving the disgraced women behind as people threw disgusted looks at them.

They entered the house feeling angry, ashamed, humiliated, and ready for revenge.

"I can't believe Shashi will humiliate us like this for the cheap woman...... This is all Khushi's fault...... She brought that whore into our lives and I will teach her a lesson she would never forget. " Garima thought shaking in anger with tears streaming down her face.

Malhotra Law Firm.

Shyam sat in the waiting area in the law firm where Soha works waiting for her.

He wanted to apologize for all the hurt he put her through but unfortunately she didn't have her house address and the firm refused to give it to him so he had to wait for her.

He was shocked when Soha told her they had a written statement signed by Shashi wanting to drop the case but unfortunately for him, Anjali's lawsuit against him for attempted bigamy and Shashi's current condition had made the judge go ahead with the charges but because he turned himself in, Soha assured him he would at least five years in prison which he as a lawyer knew.

"Good afternoon Miss Mehra." A voice greeting Soha break his reverie and he looked up to find the receptionist greeting her. "You have a visitor....... A man named Mr. Shyam Manohar Jha. "

Soha looked shocked and turned to find Shyam staring below her and she gulped and followed his gaze to find him staring at their daughter Pihu who was preoccupied and distracted enjoying the lollipop her mother bought her.

"Oh no....... He knows. " Soha thought to herself staring at Shyam who walked up to them and kneeled.

Pihu gave Shyam a sheepish smile and stretched out her hand offering Shyam some of her lollipops but Shyam shook his head as his eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

There was no denying the little princess in front of him was his daughter.

She was the female version of him except she had her mother's thick and beautiful eyebrows and lips together with her long jet-black hair.

It dawned on him what he had lost, he had four years of his daughter's life for money.

He had lost the only woman who loved him when he was just a pauper.

He had lost it all for the greed of money and he shook his head and covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming from the anguish he was feeling for losing such a priceless life for the greed of money.

He stood up and run out of there as everyone except Soha stared confused.

"Mummy is that man okay? " Pihu asked innocently and concerned for Shyam and Soha nodded and they both walked into her office.

Shyam runner as fast as he can to release the pain but nothing was helping him.

He tripped and fell and let out a loud wail as everyone around him started with some concerned and others annoyed.

He pulled his hair as the image of Pihu's smile played in his mind over and over again until he blackout due to the overwhelming emotions that attacked him together.

RM.
Nex Day.

Anjali was pissed by the turn of events as Nani and Mami had now neglected her to focus on Kiara leaving her behind with a new nurse who was employed by the hospital to take care of her.

She was all alone and filled with anger when she heard a knock on her door and stood up from the bed and opened it revealing HP.

"What do you want? " Anjali asked staring at him in disgust.

"You have a visitor. " Hp replied rudely and walked away leaving behind a pissed-off Anjali.

She limped to the Hall and halted in shock seeing the person standing in the Hall.

"How dare you show your face here? " Anjali yelled with bloodshot eyes but seeing the people behind the person she was yelling at shocked her. "Nani? "

Nani and the entire family were standing behind the person and Anjali started panicking seeing their unexpectedly return from the office and hospital.

"Hello hi bye bye...... Anjali why are you yelling at her? ....... And who are you? " Mami asked suspiciously staring at the woman.

Arshi and Payash smirked at each other seeing how nervous and sweaty Anjali was becoming.

"My name is Svetlana Sinha....... The woman your niece paid to falsely accuse Shyam Manohar Jha of sexual harassment. "

Nani and Mami stared at Anjali who was glaring at Svetlana in shock.
