Seeing him like this dadu said Dadu: Rahul beta...now it's time for the vidaai ceremony so get ready for it.Rahul suddenly started laughing like a mad person. Everyone was surprised by his behaviour especially Ayesha. She was watching him like a fool.Rahul: Vidaai...hahahhahaDadu: what happened? Why are you laughing like this?Rahul: because I have succeeded in what I wanted...finally my revenge is completed.Shaurya: Hey...what do you mean revenge?Rahul: Revenge to destroy your lives Patel family. Harshit: Be clear what you want to say? Rahul: Wait wait i will I will...Ayesha: Rahul what happened to you? Are you crazy? Why are you laughing like this and what revenge are you talking about? Rahul: No my dear wife I'm not crazy in fact you were crazy that also in my love...and that is why I was more successful in my mission. Ayesha got scared hearing this, she came to Rahul and held his shoulder asking Ayesha: why are you behaving that way Rahul? What is wrong with you? Please tell me what I have done?Rahul: No my dear stupid wife you did not do anything but your family did....He then turned towards Vaishali who was already glaring at him. He smiled at her and said Rahul: And my dear Vaishali bhabhi...I'm feeling so bad for you..you tried every way to stop this marriage but you were unsuccessful...sad..btw you were very eager to know about me right then let me introduce myself He came infront of everyone and said with a proud smileRahul: Hello guys...myself Ritesh Khanna...owner of Khanna enterprises and yes most importantly the brother of my dear sister Anushka Khanna.As soon as they heard this, their eyes became wide and they kept looking at Rahul like a stupid. Ayesha: Wh..what did you said?Ritesh: Yea you heard it right...I'm the elder brother of Anushka Khanna and I'm sure you all know who Anushka is...why Harshit jiju? He winked towards Harshit who was already watching him in disbelief. Harshit: Means yo...you tricked us?Ritesh: I had to...because I had no other choice my dear jiju...Dadu was totally shocked with the confession, he sat on the sofa with shocked expressions meanwhile Shaurya came to him and held his shoulder.Ayesha was totally stunned hearing this, she came to him and held his collar and asked angrily Ayesha: How..how could you do this? How?Ritesh: And how could you all do such bad with my sister hah? Vaishali: we haven't done anything with your sister...got it..Ritesh: O please you toh don't speak only.. everything that happened to my sister is all because of you...all because of you all my sister is not here in this world and with me While saying this tears started rolling down from his eyes. He immediately wiped it and made an angry expression Ritesh: You know what Vaishali at first I thought of killing you all then i wondered why to take those precious in one go..even you should know the pain the suffering and that's what I did today. I know this Ayesha is the lifeline of you all so I thought why not i torture her and in that way you all will also suffer.Ayesha totally broke down in tears hearing this, she again asked him emotionally Ayesha: don't you love me? What was that we had for all these months?Ritesh: O come on stupid girl do you think I have ever loved you..it was all my trick to trap you and thankfully I did...yaa this Vaishali surely tried to sabotage my plan but she doesn't know who I'm...Ayesha: And what about this wedding?Ritesh: you will still remain my wife...don't worry about that but I'll not take you with me you will stay here for the rest of your life...neither I'll accept you nor I'll divorce you. You will suffer like this and if you will suffer I'm sure your whole family will too...Shaurya: You bastard...how dare you do this with my sister?Ritesh: And what about my sister hah? After mom dad she was my only family. I had taken care of her like my own daughter but you all had snatched her away from me. I just cursed my fate that i was abroad time otherwise I wouldn't have allowed her to stay with you all for a single moment..Shaurya became hell furious, he came and started beating Ritesh but somehow Harshit and Vaishali stopped him. Harshit: Don't dirty your hands by beating this crazy man...let the police decide. Ritesh wiped the blood coming out from his lips with a smile and replied Ritesh: do whatever you want to... I don't care if I'm jailed also but I'll be satisfied that I did justice with my sister.Harshit: I'll call the police right now.Ayesha who was standing like a statue after getting a huge betrayal finally said Ayesha: bhaiya no...let him go..Shaurya(shocked): Ayesha?Ayesha: Yes bhaiya...however he is but still he is my husband and moreover I love him so if he thinks by making me suffer he will win then let him think...I really don't care about anything now. So please let him go anywhere he wants to. Harshit and Shaurya saw each other's face and kept silent while Ritesh somewhere felt guilty watching Ayesha's innocent face but his anger and the passion of revenge did not let him think anything else.Ritesh: Okay then bye...Saying this he left from there while Ayesha ran into her room. Vaishali and Shivangi were also crying while comforting dadu who was still in shock. In the evening Ayesha came out of her room and directly went towards Vaishali and Shivangi who were in the kitchen. She slowly came to them and guilt was clearly visible in her face Vaishali: Ayesha?She came and hugged both of them crying loudly. Vaishali and shivangi patted her back while she said Ayesha: I'm sorry Vaishu, Shivu... I'm sorry for whatever I did with you all especially Vaishu...I'm sorry for not believing you and insulting you this way instead I was a big selfish that infront of my love I forgot my family...all because of my behavior god is punishing me now.Vaishali: no Ash... Nothing like that..nothing is your fault and please don't blame yourself.. I know this shouldn't have happened but I still feel Ritesh is still not a bad guy he has done this for his sister's loss. I know he will change very soon.Ayesha: don't talk about him anymore...I have forgotten everything. Vaishali and Shivangi again hugged her and all of them cried like this.For the next one year everything remained same for all of them. Ayesha somewhere started living her old life again trying to forget all Ritesh's memories.Here Shivangi was pregnant and was on her last few months. Shaurya and Harshit tried to bring Ritesh back but Ayesha stopped them. Life was normal for them when one day again that old past came back to the Patel house.Ritesh was standing in the maindoor while his expressions were clearly saying that he was guilty and was also broken. When everyone saw him they became angry but did not said anything. Ayesha also saw him and as soon as she saw she ran inside her room. Dadu: What are you doing? Aren't you satisfied after doing such a dirty act?Ritesh came and fell on dadu's feet crying Ritesh: I'm sorry dadu...please forgive for whatever i did...I know I did a grave mistake and it is not at all forgivable but trust me I did all those because of my anger but within this year I have understood I was so so wrong. I realised that I was making an innocent soul suffer in my stupid revenge game.Shaurya: Don't act... I'm sure this is your another plan...am I right?Ritesh: No I'm not....Saying this he looked towards them with eyes full of tears. Vaishali was able to see the truth in his eyes this time. Vaishali: No Shaurya I think this time he isn't lying. Shaurya: Vaishali you are saying this? Don't forget you were the one who had doubted him when he came first in this house.Vaishali: that time too I read his eyes which seemed fake but today it's showing the guilt the truth. Okay Ritesh if you really are guilty then you should ask this from your wife who is suffering from the past one year. You know how she cries every night just for you. She hasn't smiled a little all these days. Ritesh: I will ask forgiveness from her I know this is little for my betrayal but still I'll give my best to bring her back into my life. I have finally realised this that I love... I love her very much.Vaishali: Then go...Ritesh quickly went inside Ayesha's room who was crying. He went towards her when she stopped him asking Ayesha: Why did you come here?Ritesh: I...I'm sorry...Ayesha: Okay fine...now you can goRitesh: Please forgive me for whatever i did. I know this sorry is just a small thing for me but please listen to me...She turned to him and looking at his eyes asked Ayesha: What shall I listen hah? Do you know how I have each second like a lifeless soul? Do you know what I had to go through being a married but still remaining unmarried? Do you know what I'm feeling being in love with you...I feel like dieing but i will not because you know why I love my family. And don't worry I'll not take any revenge from you nor my family will take. And yes you want forgiveness okay fine i forgive you...now you can go.Ritesh immediately cupped Ayesha's cheeks and asked looking into her eyes. She too looked at him fully emotional Ritesh: Don't you feel anything when I touch you? Tell me honestly...don't you love me anymore?Ayesha: No...She diverted her gaze towards the other side while he again made her to look at him and asked againRitesh: you may lie but your eyes isn't...I have realised that I cannot live a single moment without you. I love you Ash...I love youAyesha kept looking at Ritesh's eyes and both of them were shedding tears. Today Ayesha saw truth and genuine love in his eyes. She couldn't control anymore and immediately hugged him. He too hugged her back and finally uniting each other.Everyone from the back shouted "congratulations for your new beginning"They turned and saw everyone smiling at them.Vaishali: All's well that ends well...                                THE END
