Mumbai.

Author's Pov.

On the other hand, Rajiv called Ayaan and lied that Priti was sitting with a random woman in the park when he very well knew who that woman was.

Ayaan stopped the car engine and glanced outside of the window.

A cold breeze brushed against his face, and he closed his eyes, her beautiful face flashed in front of his eyes, making a small smile appear on his lips.

She was exquisite, a rare and pure beauty, he always wondered how could someone be so beautiful, but he never appreciated it and always called her ugly if she knew the sort of wild thoughts swirl in his mind whenever he noticed her tempting body, she would have hidden in the closed room trying to avoid his lustful gazes.

But Is it true? That it was all about lust or there was much more he couldn't express.

It hurts him more when he hurts her and he doesn't even want to set her free but if he kept her to himself, he would kill her one day, that's why it's better to let her go rather than destroy her.

He controlled his emotions and called Rajiv,

Rajiv picked up in only one ring and Ayaan ordered, "Go back to your Home Rajiv."

He disconnected the call and drove his car towards Singhaniya House,

He thought that it was The End of their story but some relationships never ended easily.

*********

Priti pushed Aabha away from her and screamed in anger,

"Don't call her name she is the reason for my every pain my every suffering, I just hate that woman with my whole heart. And I hate the fact that I was born from the womb of a mistress."

Smack!!!!

Priti felt a sharp pain on her cheek.

She glanced at Abha with horror-filled eyes who was already fuming in anger.

"How dare you call her mistress. What do you even know about her? She loved you so much that's why I only slapped you. If you weren't her daughter. I would have killed you for using such a word for my sister."

"Because of her, you are standing here today. If that day she hadn't sacrificed her self-respect. You would have died Priti. Do you still think she was a whore or mistress? She sacrificed her self-respect to save you and you are calling her mistress. Do you believe what the world said to you? You can't pay off her Priti if you die also. She doesn't share any blood relationship with you but still, she did everything that a mother does for her child, and look at you?"

Priti's eyes snapped towards her, Aabha's words caught her ears, she wasn't her mother,

"What did you say?

"She wasn't your biological Mother Priti."

Priti felt like someone poured a bucket full of cold water on her head, it was something that she never expected,

Priti felt like she was sinking into the ocean of guilt, whether what she said was true or not, but she didn't have any right to judge someone,

Yana wasn't her mother? Then who was her mother?

She grew up listening to her father that Yana was her mother.

But why this lady was saying that she wasn't her mother?

She held her head low and tears dripped from the corner of her eyes, still mustering up her all courage she held her eyes high and asked, "What you said, is it true ?"

Aabha sighed and answered, "What I said, everything was true Priti, even Ashwath isn't your biological father, And maybe you know it."

Priti broke down in tears she knew that Ashwath wasn't her biological father.

But Priti always thought of that woman as her mother, the pain that she engulfed these years only thinking that she was her mother, will he regret what he did with her?...after knowing the woman because whom he destroyed her life doesn't share any blood relationship with her, it would have better if that woman had left her to die rather than gifting her this life, she lost her two babies only because of that woman.

Priti glanced at the lady with her teary eyes and asked, "Do you know who were my real parents-

Before she could complete her sentence, a sharp pain shot into her abdomen and she fell to the ground while clutching her stomach in extreme pain.

Aabha's eyes widened in fright when she noticed the blood stain on Priti's dress, she crouched down to her level and asked in a worried voice, "Are you okay Priti? Why are you bleeding down there?..... Don't close your eyes...I will take you to the hospital.

Priti smiled at her words and said hiding the pain that was shooting inside her stomach, "I am fine Aunty, I don't want to go to the ho-
But she fainted before completing her sentence.

**********

When Priti woke up the first thing she noticed was the high white ceiling of the hospital room.

She tried to process everything, and all the horrible incidents came rushing inside her head, tears fell from her eyes, knowing that her kids were gone forever.

Aabha was silently sitting beside her but when she saw her tears she felt sad inside her heart,

She got to know everything from the Doctor about the condition Priti had gone through but she knew she couldn't understand her pain, we can't understand the pain of a victim till we suffer from that same pain.

After crying for fifteen minutes, Priti's eyes fell on Aabha and she held her tears and uttered, "Thank you, Aunty."

"Leave it and tell me where were you before coming to that Park. And Who did all this with you? And don't you dare to lie to me?" Aabha asked with a worried yet commanding voice.

Priti looked at her and replied in a shaking Voice, "Singhaniya Farmhouse."

Aabha's eyes widened in realization she asked in a fear-filled voice, "With whom Priti?"

"....Ayaan...Singhaniya."

Tears fell from Aabha's eyes as she understood what had happened. She realized that she met her too late.

"Did..he ...think you are Yana's daughter?"

Priti nodded her head, and Aabha pulled her into her embrace and patted her back rapidly

"Did he do something wrong, Priti?" Aabha asked hesitantly.

Hearing her words A loud sob escaped from Priti's mouth. Aabha understood her answer, she felt pain in her heart thinking about what had happened to that innocent soul.

"Priti, do you know who I am?

Priti held her head high and glanced at Aabha with confused eyes trying to understand what she wanted to ask but her trans broke hearing Aabha's words.

"I am Aabha Singhaniya, Ayaan's aunt."

Priti felt like her head was spinning with anxiety, why did she always meet the people from whom she was running away?

"Look Priti I know everything that you know and which you didn't know about Yana, and from which condition she suffered, I Don't want you to suffer from that same situation, She wasn't my biological sister but we grew up in the same orphanage and I loved her as my sister."

Abbha's expression saddened and she continued, "Sometimes I feel like she fell in that mud only because of me but I did nothing to save her, but I don't want the same thing to happen with you. Priti please, listen to me. Go away from here. You don't know Ayaan. He is just a Sadist, a mentally ill person, I don't want to explain why I am saying this, Stay away from Singhaniya every person from that family is just bad news, and I am no exception. Priti, please trust me, I don't know what happened in your life, and we are not in a state where you could tell me anything. I will handle everything, go away from this city with your brother. And Never come back here. Don't think that Yana was characterless. She was the most beautiful woman in this whole world. I will tell you everything at the right time even about your parents but for now, you are going away from this city. I will drop you at your home come with me and pack everything, You are leaving this city today itself."

Abha declared and got up from her seat

She held Priti's hand and was ready to walk but Priti pulled her hand back and said emotionlessly. "Why don't you tell your nephew all the truth?"

"And do you think he will believe me?"

Priti just stared at her emotionlessly and asked in a timid voice,

"You are also a Singhaniya. How can I trust you?"

"You have to trust me, child. There is no one in this world other than me who will help you. In this country Do you think anyone can go against Singhaniya?"

"Priti, don't waste your time let's go."

Priti felt defeated after hearing her words, Aabha was right. Who will help her, no one will ever dare to go against Singhaniya and she knew it.

She lowered her head and slowly started to walk behind Aabha.

After getting betrayed by so many people it's difficult to trust someone whom you met for once but she doesn't have any other option.

They both sat inside Aabha's car Priti told her home address to Aabha and Aabha drove away.

Rajiv, whom Ayaan sent to follow Priti, didn't go back and kept following them but now he decided not to follow them anymore and went away.

***********

Priti came out of the car and ran towards the front door and Aabha parked her car and slowly walked behind her.

The whole ride Priti didn't talk with Aabha and she also didn't insist on her.

Priti opened the front door and went inside she directly opened the door of her brother's bedroom and sighed in relief.

Piyush was sleeping on his bed looking all pale.

She went towards him and sat beside him. She caressed his hair lovingly and admired his face.

Aabha was looking at Priti the whole time, She assumed that boy to be Ashwath's son still she asked,

"Who is he, Priti?"

Priti glanced at her and replied, "He is my brother, Pa's son, he again married, after his first wife's demise."

"Where is your stepmom then?" Aabha asked.

"She also died when she was giving birth to him" Priti replied, while she was lovingly caressing his forehead there was a bandage on his forehead, he was in the hospital for almost a week after that accident, and she thought he died, she stopped that horrible thought after sensing her brother's movement.

Piyush woke up from his sleep sensing someone's presence near him and his gaze fell on Priti he hugged her tightly and asked immediately, "Where were you, Di? I missed you so much."

"Take it easy Piyush you will hurt yourself," Priti let out but Piyush didn't listen to her and started his inquiry.

"Where were you?"

"You didn't come to meet me in the hospital, I asked, Ayaan bhai why you were not coming to meet me he said that you would come after finishing your work."

"Did you finish your work Di?"

Priti just nodded her head. Yeah, she finished everything today......
