Aarvi's world came crashing down around her as the words left his mouth. She felt like the ground beneath her had been ripped away, and she stumbled back, her face stricken with shock and disbelief.
No... no, that can't be true! Aarvi said
Darshil's eyes blazed with fury as he crumpled the report in his fist, the hurt and betrayal overwhelming him.
I am not surprised, as I knew I never did anything wrong. You did cheat on me. You lied to me all this time. Darshil said
Aarvi's eyes widened in horror, shaking her head desperately.
I swear, Darshil, I didn't! I don't know how this happened! Aarvi said
Darshil's rage reached a boiling point, his voice cutting through the room like a knife.
Then explain this, Aarvi! How can this child not be mine if you haven't been with someone else? Tell me! Darshil yelled
Tears poured down Aarvi's face as she tried to understand what was happening. The weight of the false accusation crushed her, and she could barely breathe through her sobs.
But Darshil turned away from her, his trust shattered beyond repair.
Darshil, Aarvi, I think you both should go home and have a conversation about it. It's a hospital, you can't raise your voices here. Siya said
Darshil glares at Siya and walks out of the hospital. Aarvi turned to Siya.
Aarvi, I can't believe it.... You..... Anyway. Go home now. It's not good for you to stay here for such a long time. Siya said
Aarvi stood up without saying a word and walked out. She sits in the car and Darshil drives home.
Later that night, Aarvi sat alone in the room, completely devastated. She couldn't stop replaying Darshil's words in her mind, the pain of his accusations breaking her heart into a million pieces.
Meanwhile, in another part of the house, Darshil sat alone, his head in his hands, unable to process the betrayal he felt. His heart ached for the woman he loved, but the weight of what the report said was too heavy to ignore.
It had been two days since Darshil and Aarvi had returned from Siya's hospital with the DNA test results that had shattered both of their hearts. The air between them had grown icy, full of tension, confusion, and unspoken words. Neither of them had revealed the painful truth to anyone, instead retreating into their own worlds of despair. Aarvi, overwhelmed with grief and exhaustion, had barely eaten since the ordeal.
Darshil walks into the room where Aarvi was already present.
She stood by the window, staring out at the garden, her mind racing. She had barely eaten in the past few days, and her face looked pale and exhausted. Darshil, on the other hand, was pacing the room, his emotions teetering on the edge of an explosion.
Darshil..... I didn't cheated on you. I am innocent. Aarvi said in a low voice.
If you hate me so much, then just say it. But don't play these games with me. Darshil said
Aarvi turned to him, her eyes filled with hurt and confusion.
Games? What games are you talking about, Darshil? I'm not doing anything. Aarvi said
You expect me to believe that after everything? You expect me to believe that you didn't do this for revenge? Darshil asked
Aarvi's heart sank. His words cut her deeply, and she felt her knees buckle under the weight of his accusations.
Revenge? Is that what you think? That I would lie about something like this just to hurt you? Aarvi asked
Darshil clenched his fists, his emotions spiraling out of control. He felt trapped between his love for Aarvi and the pain of what he believed was her betrayal.
You're carrying someone else's child, Aarvi. I can't just let that go. Darshil said
Aarvi took a step back, horrified by his words.
Just because I don't have anu proof for my innocence, you can't just keep putting on allegations on me. Aarvi said
I don't know anything anymore, because I have seen the DNA reports which proves your sin. I don't even know if the woman standing in front of me is the same woman I fell in love with. Darshil said
Tears welled up in Aarvi's eyes as she listened to him. She couldn't believe that this was their reality-that Darshil, the man who had claimed to love her obsessively, now questioned everything about her.
Then, I don't have any right to live in this house..... with you. Aarvi said
Darshil, in a fit of anger and frustration, turned away from her, his voice low but filled with venom.
I'll never let you go, Aarvi. You're mine. But I swear, I'll find the father of your child, and when I do, I won't spare him. Darshil said in a dangerous voice
Darshil... please.... Aarvi said as she was sobbing
But he didn't listen. He stormed out of the room, leaving Aarvi alone with her tears. She collapsed onto the bed, her body shaking with sobs. The weight of everything was too much for her to bear.
It was evening time when Aarvi walked down the grand staircase, her steps shaky and slow. Darshil was in his study, his mind racing with thoughts of the falsified DNA report and the inexplicable events that had torn their lives apart.
Suddenly, Aarvi's vision blurred, and her legs felt like they were giving way. She lost her balance, and before she could react, she collapsed on the stairs, clutching her stomach.
Darshil...... Aarvi whispers and
she collapsed on the stairs.
Aarvi!!! Nandini ji, who just walked in shouted and rushed to her and tried to help Aarvi, only to find her lying unconscious, her forehead, got a small cut lead to bleeding.
Darshil!!! Come fast.....Nandini ji screamed
Darshil stood up as he listened to her screams.
Rushing out of the study, Darshil found Aarvi lying at the foot of the stairs, clutching her side, her face pale and drained of energy.
Aarvi!!! Darshil said, getting panicked.
Darshil, she just collapsed..... Take her to the hospital. The first 3 months of pregnancy is very crucial. It can risk her life too, be quick. Nandini ji said.
Darshil kneels beside Aarvi and nods.
Her body was limp, her breathing shallow. Without wasting a second, Darshil scooped her up in his arms and rushed outside to the car, shouting for the driver.
Take us to the hospital, NOW! Darshil said.
Darshil burst into the hospital, carrying Aarvi in his arms. He looked around frantically, but Siya was nowhere to be found. A nurse approached him and quickly led him to an examination room.
Dr. Siya is in surgery, but we'll have another doctor take a look at her right away. Nurse said
He paced outside the examination room as doctors attended Aarvi. His mind was swirling with fear. What if something happened to her? What if she was losing the baby-no, his thoughts screeched to a halt.
A nurse came out after a few minutes.
Mr. Darshil, we've stabilized Mrs. Aarvi. The doctor will speak with you shortly. Nurse said
Relief washed over him momentarily, but the anxiety didn't fully dissipate. After what felt like an eternity, the doctor emerged, flipping through Aarvi's file.
Mr. Darshil, your wife fainted due to extreme fatigue and low blood sugar levels. She's going to be fine with some rest and proper nourishment. Doctor said calmly
Darshil nodded but still felt uneasy. He had to know more.
Doctor, is the baby fine? Darshil asked
The doctor raised an eyebrow, looking through the file in confusion.
Baby? Doctor asked
Yes doctor she is pregnant. Darshil said
Pregnant? That's strange. There's no sign of pregnancy in her current reports. I'll double-check, but from what I've seen, there's no evidence that she was pregnant recently. Doctor said
Darshil's heart skipped a beat.
What are you saying? How can that be? We got blood tests, DNA results. Everything. Darshil said.
Okay then, do you have those reports with you? Doctor asked
Yes, its in my car. I'll get that in a minute. Darshil said
Okay and for your satisfaction, I can conduct the pregnancy test again. Doctor said
Darshil rushed to the car and took out all the files related to Aarvi's pregnancy and gave it to the doctor.
The doctor flipped through the pages once more, scrutinizing every detail. He looked up, his expression now more serious.
Wait. Something doesn't match. The blood type in this file is O positive.
The doctor said, his brow furrowed as he pulled out the earlier DNA test report Darshil had mentioned.
But Aarvi's blood type is actually O negative. That's impossible. This doesn't add up at all. Mr. Darshil, I think these reports may have been tampered with. Doctor continued
Darshil's stomach sank as the realization hit him like a freight train. The earlier reports... the DNA results... everything had been a lie.
What...? So... so those reports were fake? Darshil asked
It seems likely. The blood types alone are proof enough that something went wrong. We'll have to investigate how this could have happened. Doctor said
What about the pregnancy test you were conducting? Do we have the results? Darshil asked
Yes.... The doctor took the new file and gave it to Darshil. See, I have gone through this reports. It clearly shows that Aarvi is not pregnant. Doctor said
It's just, we tested twice and pregnancy was confirmed, that's why I insisted for double checking. Darshil said
I don't know who gave you these results, but they are definitely not hers. Someone must have tampered with the test. Doctor said
Darshil's hands clenched into fists, anger simmering beneath the surface. His mind raced back to Siya-the only one who had handled the reports, the one who had seemed so calm, so composed. The realization hit him like a truck-everything, the mistrust, the accusations, it had all been based on a lie.
She wasn't pregnant... She didn't betray me. What the fuck did I do??!! Darshil whispers.
He felt his heart clench painfully. His thoughts immediately went to Aarvi, lying unconscious in the next room, and the terrible things he had said to her. He had accused her of the worst possible betrayal, and all along, she had been innocent.
Darshil walked back into Aarvi's room, his steps heavy with regret. He sat beside her bed, taking her hand in his. She stirred slightly but remained unconscious. Tears stung his eyes as he pressed her hand to his lips.
I'm so sorry, my Hazel... I'm so sorry mera bachha. I didn't trust you when you needed me to. I am sorry for the way I treated you. I've hurt you a lot. Darshil said
His voice cracked as the weight of his actions sank in. He had let his insecurities and anger blind him to the truth, and in doing so, he had hurt the woman he loved more than anything.
Please... please forgive me, Hazel. I was a fool. A damn fool. I let my anger and disbelief control me, and I didn't trust you. I should have believed you, trusted that you would never cheat on me. I'm so sorry, Hazel. Please... wake up soon, I can't see you this way. Darshil said, his eyes filled with unshed tears as he gently took her hand and kissed her knuckles softly.
As the night deepened, Aarvi remained unconscious in the hospital bed, her breathing steady but her face still pale from exhaustion. Darshil sat next to her, his eyes never leaving her face. His mind, however, was focused on something else-something far more sinister. The conversation with the doctor had revealed that the pregnancy reports were fake, and it didn't take long for Darshil to start putting the pieces together. There was only one person who could have orchestrated this-the one person who had access to the hospital and the influence to manipulate the reports: Siya.
Just as he expected, Siya walked into the hospital room. Her face was a mask of concern, but Darshil could see right through it now.
How's Aarvi? Is she okay? Siya asked
Darshil turned toward her, his expression unreadable. This was his chance to test her, to see if she would reveal herself.
She's okay. The baby is fine too. It was just a scare. Darshil said
He watched carefully for any sign of surprise or panic in Siya's eyes, but she quickly masked her emotions, giving him a tight smile.
That's... that's good. I was so worried. I'll be here, if you or Aarvi need me. Siya said
No.... Don't worry, I am here with my wife. You must be tired from such a ling surgery. Go home, I'll keep on updating you. Darshil said
Are you sure? Siya asked
Yes, please take care of you too. Darshil said
Okay, I'll go if you say. Take care of Aarvi. Siya said
Darshil nodded, playing along. But in his mind, the wheels were already turning. As soon as Siya left the room, Darshil pulled out his phone and called Shiv. If anyone could help him uncover the truth, it was Shiv.
Shiv, I need you to dig up everything on Siya-especially any records, payments, anything unusual that could link her to what's happening here. Darshil said
Shiv, always reliable, didn't ask any questions.
Give me a few hours. I'll get to work. Shiv said
Darshil hung up and sat back, watching over Aarvi, his heart heavy with guilt for the way he had doubted her. But now, all his focus was on exposing Siya for the manipulative woman she truly was.
By early morning, Shiv had gathered all the information Darshil needed. Darshil sat at his desk, his fingers clenched tightly around the stack of papers that Shiv had handed him.
She's been playing everyone, Darshil. From the pregnancy reports to manipulating the staff-it's all here. She even paid off a maid to stir things up with dadi. Shiv said
Darshil suspicions had been confirmed-Siya had been behind everything. She had bribed the hospital staff to fake the reports, she had paid off the maid to leak information to Nandini, and she had orchestrated the entire plan. But why?? This was the only question Darshil had in his mind. He slammed his fist on the table, anger coursing through him.
I knew it. I knew something was off. But why is she doing this? Only Siya can answer this question now. Darshil said
Shiv looked at him, his expression hard.
What do you want to do now? Shiv asked
Darshil took a deep breath, calming himself. He couldn't let his emotions get the better of him. He had to think this through.
We're going to tell Aarvi the truth. But I'll handle Siya myself. She's already done enough damage. Darshil said
Aarvi finally woke, her eyes fluttering open, she saw Darshil sitting there, his face etched with guilt and sorrow.
Darshil...? Aarvi said
Are you okay? Do you need something? Darshil asked
I am fine. Aarvi said
Darshil looked into her eyes, his heart aches at her innocent and fragile look. He brushes her hair and tucked it behind her ear.
I have talked to the doctor. The discharge papers are ready. We will go home soon. Darshil said
Aarvi nods.
After getting discharged, Darshil carried Aarvi back home once she had woken up and was stable enough to leave the hospital. The ride was silent, Aarvi still recovering from the emotional toll of the past few days. Darshil, on the other hand, was mentally preparing himself for the conversation that lay ahead.
Once they were home, Aarvi met Nandini and Poorva who were really stressed about Aarvi.
Are you okay beta? Nandini ji asked
Yes dadi. Aarvi said
And, the baby? Is it okay? Nandini ji asked
Aarvi took a glance at Darshil and nods.
Dadi, Aarvi needs to rest now. I am takinge her to room okay. Don't worry, her condition is better now. Darshil said
Okay.... Take her to room and tell me if you want anything. Nandini ji said
Darshil helped Aarvi settle into their room, her exhaustion still evident on her face. He sat down beside her, his eyes filled with a mixture of pain and determination.
Are you comfortable Hazel? Darshil asked
Aarvi looks at him in surprise.
Hazel? You're really calling me that? Aarvi asked in surprise.
Yes Hazel. I know, I stopped calling you by this name but now..... I have become the same Darshil again. Darshil said
Aarvi was confused but she felt her heart started beating again just by listening to her nickname again.
That's good to hear. Aarvi said
Really? Earlier, you hated this nickname. You hated it when I called you Hazel. Darshil said.
That's the past, but now, hearing you call me Hazel is like honey to my ears. Aarvi said looking into his eyes.
I love you Hazel..... Darshil said and Aarvi's heart skipped a beat.
Darshil- Aarvi said but Darshil puts a finger on her lips.
I am again not asking for any answer. Darshil said and Aarvi nods.
