Vaani clung to her aunt, feeling a deep sense of comfort and security wash over her. she had missed her aunt terribly and it felt like a part of her had been restored now that they were reunited.
Bhoomi enveloped her in a warm hug, tears of joy streaming down her face,"vaani beta, it's good to see you!" she whispered, her voice choked with emotion.
Vaani clung to her aunt more like she will disappear anytime.Along with tears filled eyes vaani looked at dhruv on whose face there was a shine of happiness as if he had won some victory.his eyes shining with love and affection.
"Thank you", vaani's lips curved like those words but no voice was coming out of her throat.
Dhruv blinked his eyes and said to wipe her tears through his finger as if his tears were causing him pain.
They pulled back from their hug, vaani's eyes scanned her aunt's face, taking in familiar line and wrinkles. She looked a little older, a little weary,but her eyes still sparkled with warmth and love.
But Vani's eyes were fixed somewhere else, her eyes were astonished to see her aunt without sindoor and in Mangalsutra because till date her aunt had never done this, she always wore sindoor and mangalsutra.
Bhoomi came to know about her actions and who she was talking about. Bhoomi put her hand on her cheeks and said,"I will tell you everything but maybe this is not the right time, okay", her voice was havey due to emotional encounter
vaani shook her head in yes and hugged her back,But a batch of questions were looming in her mind.
"Amazing, Since you both meet, you too have forgotten about me", anmol said with huffed and got a bombastic side eyes from them.
"It's ok continue", he said nervously rising his hand in defence.
And here dhruv was smiling looking at vaani. he was just thinking that firstly he destroyed niya's plane and on the other side vaani seemed very happy.
But his smile vanished when his eyes fell on Anmol who was passing a mischievous smile after seeing someone, Dhruv followed his gaze which stopped at his sister Durga.
Dhruv's jaw tightened and his eyelids shrank, he went near her sister and stood in front of her to stop Anmol's view.Then he passed a smirk to Anmol and said in gestures'stay away to my sister'
But Anmol ignored his arrogance as if it's didn't effect on him and he kept on looking at durga.
"Vaani,you stop here I'm coming", bhoomi said making her frowned,
"where are you going", she asked, her voice was deeper in fear as if she is going from here leaving her alone.
"I am coming from the washroom, don't worry, I'm here now till my death", she said with a chuckled and went from there patting her cheeks.
"bahi", vaani said and clung to anmol's arms holding him tightly, he smiling held her back.
"why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming", she asked looking at isha who was busy in ritual
"This is called a surprise", he said pulling her cheeks,
"Did You alone eat all the household food, have you become so fat", he said teasing her by pulling her chubby cheeks,
"bahi don't do this",she said annoyingly But if on the request of some sister her brother stops that work then earth will be destroy.
To irritate Vaani further, he started pulling both her cheeks,"don't", she winched and pulled herself away from him and punched him on his stomach making him horn in pain,
"When did you start hitting with such a good punch", he asked while holding his stomach controlling his pain and vaani smiled proudly.
Seeing their loving fight not only Dhruv but the whole Rajvansh family was happy, they had never seen Vani so happy before.
Nikhil was watching Vaani from a distance, he was on the first floor at that time and was looking down,his eyes were filled with happiness but some tears were bubbling inside it.
"I wish you both were here today", he muttered while looking at vaani,"I hope I did what i promised to you", his voice choked out with emotion,
"so you did all this", his eyes widened after hearing bhoomi's voice. He turned backwards where bhoomi was standing looking at him without any emotions.
"bh..bhabhi", he stutter saying this and lowered his gaze,
"You did not have any shame even once, after killing his parents now you got her marriage done in your house so that she suffers more", she yelled whispered in anger while gretting her teeth,
"You also know that I have not killed Virat, it was your husband who killed them", He spoke in his defence, his voice was deeper in regret and emotions.
"I know that he killed them but what did you do, run away", she split,Her voice and words were breaking him from inside.
"you don't know the full truth", he muttered while a long tears eapack from his eyes, he immediately wiped it.
"tell me the truth about what happened at that time", she asked folding her hand around her chest with hate filled eyes,
"I will tell you everything", he said start going towards his study room, She was angry and upset, but she wanted to know what ultimately happened to her sister and brother-in-law so she followed him.
"Now tell me what's the whole story", she asked.
He inhales sharply and starts telling her what happened 15 years ago on Vaani's birthday,
Flashback......
(Read on your risk⚠️)
A car was moving through the street towards there destination Virat,siya and nikhil sat in it with the two children(durga and dipali). Shobha was not there for suddenly some work.
A car's tires screeched as it came to a sudden halt, the sound of laughter and chatter ceasing abruptly. Virat's eyes narrowed as he peered out of the window, his mind racing with a sense of unease.
Siya's hand instinctively went to his arm, her voice barely above a whisper. "What's wrong?"
Virat's gaze locked onto the rearview mirror, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "We've got a flat tire."
Before he could even step out of the car, a group of shadowy figures emerged from the darkness, their faces obscured by hoods. Virat's instincts screamed at him to protect his family, but he was too late.
The figures swiftly surrounded the car, their movements swift and calculated. Nikhil's eyes went wide with fear as he clutched the two children tightly, his voice trembling. "W-what do you want?"
The figures remained silent, their faces hidden, as they dragged Virat, Siya, Nikhil, and the two children out of the car. The night air was filled with the sound of rustling clothes and muffled cries. He put a sprey on them because they knew that these people are expert in fighting.
Those people did not become unconscious but now they did not have the strength to fight but those two children had become unconscious.
Virat's eyes locked onto Nikhil's, a fierce determination burning within them. With a Herculean effort, he summoned every last ounce of strength and managed to break free from his captors.
In a split second, Virat lunged at Nikhil, grabbing him by the arm and spinning him around. The two children were in nikhil arm, clung to Nikhil's neck unconscious, their tiny hands grasping for dear life.
With a swift motion, Virat shoved Nikhil forward, propelling him towards the darkness. "Run!" Virat yelled, his voice hoarse from shouting. "Get the kids to safety!"
Nikhil stumbled forward, the children clinging to him like lifelines. As they vanished into the night, Virat felt a surge of hope. Maybe, just maybe, Nikhil would manage to save the kids.
Nikhil's legs pumped furiously as he sprinted away from the scene, the two children clinging to him for dear life. But instead of making a break for freedom, Nikhil suddenly veered off course, darting behind a nearby tree.
he leaned against the tree trunk, panting heavily. But before they could even catch their breath, Nikhil's eyes rolled back in his head, and he slumped to the ground, unconscious.
Here Virat and siya were losing his control over their mind and within a second Those people became unconscious and fell on the ground.
Virat's eyes fluttered open, his mind foggy and disoriented. As he struggled to sit up, he realized that he was bound to the car seat, his wrists and ankles tied with rope. Panic set in as he looked around frantically, his eyes scanning the deserted road.
"Siya!" he shouted, his voice hoarse with fear. "Siya, can you hear me?"
There was a faint stirring from the passenger seat, and Virat's heart leapt with relief as siya's eyes slowly opened.
"Virat..." she whispered, her voice barely audible. "What...what happened?"
Virat's mind racing, he tried to piece together the events leading up to their captivity. "I don't know," he admitted, his eyes locked on siya's pale face. "But we have to get out of here. We have to escape."
Siya nodded weakly, her eyes filling with tears. "I'm scared, Virat," she whispered.
Virat's heart went out to his wife, and he struggled against his restraints, desperate to free himself and protect Neha. "Don't worry, siya," he said, his voice firm and reassuring. "I'll get us out of here. I promise."
"Hello brother", they heard a similar voice outside from car as Virat looked outside his eyes widened there were abhi was standing with a gun ponting towards his car,
Virat and Neha were both in shock as they heard Abhi's voice. Their faces reflected fear and astonishment.
"Abhi?" Virat asked, his voice filled with surprise and anger. "Did you do all this?"
Abhi smiled and said, "Yes, brother. I did all this for you. Your property, your money... everything was mine."
Siya's voice trembled with anger and fear as she asked, "You tied us up? You tried to kill us?"
Abhi smiled again and said, "Yes, sister. I tried to kill you. Because you were in my way."
"bahi please don't do this", Virat said with a thrumbel voice He was not able to believe the deception given by his brother,
Now it is too late, younger brother, now both of you will have to die", abhi's eyes shining with manice,
"bhai we are your family, please don't", siya pleased him while crying.
Abhi laughed dangerously," did you literally think I'll leave you too, when I did not leave my own mother then what are you both are to me", he said, a dirty smirk never leaves his face.
Virat's voice was filled with anger and shock as he asked, "You killed my mom? She had transferred the property in my name, and you killed her?"
Abhi looked up at Virat and said, "Yes, brother. I killed her. Because she was on my way."
"And now I will kill you both after that only your child left", he said, He had gone mad and was unable to understand what he's doing
Virat's eyes widened in horror as he struggled against the ropes that bound him and his wife,, in the car. The sound of abhi's maniacal laughter echoed through the air, sending chills down Virat's spine.
"You'll never get away with this, bahi!" Virat shouted, his voice hoarse with rage.
Abhi emerged away from the car, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "Oh, but I already have," he sneered, his eyes glinting with malice.
Virat's mind racing with fear, he realized that abhi's obsession with the family property had driven him to madness. He was willing to kill his own brother to get what he wanted.
Virat's eyes locked onto Siya's, filled with a deep sadness and longing. They both knew that their time was running out, and they had to make the most of their last moments together.
"Vaani..." Siya whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. "Our little Vaani... she's only five years old, Virat. Who will take care of her now?"
Virat's face contorted in anguish as he thought about their daughter's future. "I know, Siya... I'm so sorry. I wish we could have protected her, given her the life she deserves."
Siya's eyes overflowed with tears as she reached out to touch Virat's face. "We did everything we could, Virat. We gave her love, happiness... and now, I can't even see her one last time",
Virat nodded, his throat constricting with emotion. "I know, Siya. I just wish... I wish we could have seen her grow up, seen her smile and laugh and live her life."
Siya's voice was barely audible as she whispered, "I know, Virat. Me too."
Virat's gaze shifted towards Nikhil, who had just regained consciousness and was now hiding behind a tree, clutching the two children in his arms. Virat's eyes locked onto Nikhil's, and he conveyed a silent warning, his hands gesturing for Nikhil to remain still.
Without making a sound, Virat signaled for Nikhil to take the children and leave, his eyes pleading with him to keep them safe. He also conveyed a silent message, urging Nikhil to take care of Vaani, their beloved daughter.
As Nikhil nodded imperceptibly, Virat turned to Siya, his eyes filled with a deep sadness. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as if it were the last time they would ever be together.
Siya's arms went around him, her face buried in his chest. They stood there, frozen in time, their hearts beating as one. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own private universe.
In that moment, Virat knew that he had accepted his fate. He was ready to leave this world behind, as long as Siya was by his side.
As abhi raised his gun, Virat closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. as the trigger was about to be pulled and the bullet hit that car and it sat in fire.
Nikhil stood frozen, his eyes fixed on the car as flames engulfed it, consuming everything in their path. The screams of Virat and Siya echoed through the night air, their cries for help growing fainter with each passing moment.
Nikhil's mind was paralyzed with horror, his body unable to move or react. He stood there, a helpless bystander, as his childhood friend met a tragic end.
The children, still clutched in Nikhil's arms, began to wail, their tiny faces contorted in fear. Nikhil's grip on them tightened, his eyes fixed on the burning car as if mesmerized by the inferno.
Tears streamed down Nikhil's face as he whispered, "I'm sorry, Virat... I'm so sorry." The words were lost in the roar of the flames, but Nikhil knew that he would carry the guilt of not being able to save his friend with him for the rest of his life.
End of FLASHBACK......
Their conversation became interrupted when they heard the sound of something falling near the door.they looked at that side where dhruv was standing.
his gaze was fixed on the ground while his grip on door was very tight as he wants to break them. He rises his eyes meet with nikhil who by now has understood that everything has been revealed infront of him.
"what happened after that", dhruv said, his voice was deeper in anger like If he had not nikhil then Dhruv would have killed him right away.
"After that the whole Rawat family went missing. I tried my best to find these people but I couldn't find them", nikhil said while looking at bhoomi.
Bhoomi was sitting on a chair, her hands were trembling when she heard about her husband's heinous crime.
"I went to Himachal for some work where I saw Abhi. I could not believe that I found the people whom I was looking for since so long. But then I came to know that he is getting Vani married," he said while his face was covered into red colour due to anger,
"So to save Vaani you thought of getting her married to dhruv", bhoomi's voice came like a wishper,
"No, I never thought of it. I was thinking of sending Shivam to Himachal but he did not go. Then Dhruv and Anant went to Himachal"
"I was thinking that I will kidnap Vaani and got her marriage with Shivam but Destiny had planned something else, when I reached to get vaani, I saw Dhruv sitting on the pavilion and I changed my plan and whatever was happening I let it happen and I included Anant as well in my plan",
There was a brief silence whole room was like if a pin will drop them they will sound like thunder. Dhruv moved his lags towards door and went outside walking towards his room.
"I'm sorry But at that time I was helpless, I was not able to think what I should do, Durga and Dipali were unconscious in my hands", he said and fell on his knees but she didn't say anything only looking at him without any emotions.
"What was supposed to happen has happened, now remember this, no one should come to know about it", saying this she went out.
