⚠️long chapter ahead

⚠️so many truths unfolded.

⚠️Mention of Rape. Don't read if you're uncomfortable.

“you're looking so gorgeous Rehana” Hiya took Rehana's balaye and kissed her forehead.

The bridal makeup artist did their best to make sure Rehana looked best for tonight as it's her marriage.

Rehana shyly lowered her eyes to her lap, to which Hiya and Maheen laughed out loud.

Maheen came forward and took some kajal from the corner of her eyes and put it behind Rehana's ears to remove evil eyes from her noorani face.

“You're my daughter. Remember you've to be stronger now. With a new title few responsibilities will come and you'll have to make sure you fulfil them with your heart and brain.” Rehana nodded her head with a positive smile and Maheen hugged her.

She caresses Rehana's hairs over the veil and said further. “You're entering a totally new life. You have to balance your work and your family together. It'll be tough but we'll be always there at your back”

Rehana hold Maheen's hand and kissed the back side.

“If you all are with me, if Abhimaan is with me, I will do everything which will be in my hand to protect this beautiful family. Also I've full faith on my Allah that he'll guide me through the right path”

“See badi maa.. Our Rooh has grown up so much. She is talking like grandma” Hiya said, hugging Rehana from behind and she giggled.

“Is Divya ready?” Rehana asked excitedly as another makeup artist came to make Divya ready, Samaira and  Ishani were with her in her room.

“She must be ready by now. I should check on her too” Hiya said and Maheen nodded her head.

“Rehana.. As per the ritual you and Abhi can't see each other's face until the Varmala.. Hmm be aware”

Rehana nodded her head with a smile and Maheen asked her to sit down on her bed.

~♥~

“Mom.. I don't think this mathapatti looks good to me , see?” Divya was whining like a baby and Samaira got irritated as she cancelled upto three mathapatti till now.

“Di.. It'll look good on you, it's also going with your Lehenga see'' Ishani chirped with joy, finding a beautiful set of mathapatti in the jewellery box and Divya smiled.

“Thank you Ishani. You're a love” Divya gave her a flying kiss, which made Ishani giggled out and then the makeup artist made her wear the mathapatti selected by Ishani.

“It's done” The artist said after completing Divya's look and They all got mesmerised looking at Divya. She was looking like a princess.

Samaira's eyes became heavy as she looked at her daughter. She remembered the day when Divya was born. She was a cute little pink baby. She brought so much joy to their family when everyone's mourning for Heer - Aditya's death and also their Dadi passed away.

Samaira kissed her daughter's forehead and a tear slipped down from her eyes.

“Hey sam baby why are you crying?” Divya said jokingly and Samaira smiled.

“I can't believe today is my Divya's wedding. She is going to leave us”

“Mummaa” Divya's lips trembled as she too felt emotional.

“Ahhh.. Don't cry Divi…”

“You're also crying mumma” Her lips wobbled and Samaira shook her head, wiping her own cheeks.

“I'm not crying okay. Now smile”

Divya smiled with teary eyes and Hugged her mother.

“I'm going to miss you all so much” She said and Samaira caressed her back.

“We all are there for you always”

“I know. I love you mumma”

“Love you too baby”

Ishani smiled looking at the lovely mother- daughter duo when Hiya entered the room.

“What's happening here?”

“Di” Divya broke the hug with her mother and went to her elder sister who also embraced her and kissed on her hairs.

“Is Rooh ready?” She asked coming out from the hug and Hiya nodded her head as yes then showed her the pictures she took of Rehana.

“I'm going to see Rehana di, chachi”  Ishani informed and left when Samaira smiled, nodding her head.

~♥~

Ishani was going through the backside to Rehana's room when she felt someone pull her and as she was going to scream she felt a rough hand over her mouth. Her eyes widened in fear but she soon relaxed when the manly known fragrance hit her nostrils.

“You scared the shit out of me” She hit chest and he laughed out looking at the scared kitten.

“Shut up. Stop laughing. You're so bad” Ishani said angrily as Ayaan didn't stop his laugh.

She glared at him and wiggled in his hold. “Leave me. You're so bad. You keep laughing. Let me go” She said when he stopped laughing and looked at her face.

She was wearing a beautiful red lehenga with minimal makeup, as needed for the look and some jewellery of his mother's. His badi maa has given Ishani, his mother's jewellery. He at first refused to let her take them but when Ishani insisted on keeping them as a blessing so he agreed.

“You're looking so beautiful, the queen of my heart” He said, kissing her forehead and clasped their hands together on both sides. She was pinned on the wall and he was standing in front of her.

“You're also looking so handsome my king” She said and kissed his nose as he was much taller than her. She could only reach to his nose, that too if she stood on her tiptoes.

He grasped her waist and lifted her up. Ishani gasped as she felt she was being lifted from the ground, she held his shoulders for support.

“Ayaan.. I must be heavy with all this jewellery and lehenga. Your will feel pain in your arms”

“You are weighing nothing that I can't lift”

She smiled and pecked his lips.

“I love the lipstick colour. It suits you perfectly.”

“Divya di selected the shade for me”

“Of course. She is the beauty queen” he chuckled and kissed her lips twice before putting her down and she adjusted her lehenga.

“By the way, where are you running?” He asked, pulling her close, holding her waist and she corrected his sherwani.

“I'm going to check on Rehana di” She replied with a smile and he left her.

“I love you” He said, kissing her lips and she smiled, when he left.

Smiling like an idiot she was going to Rehana's room when Abhimaam came in front of her. All dressed up but there was a worry line on his forehead.

“Is everything okay bhaiya?” She asked with concern.

“Ishani..  I need your help”

“Yes”

“Rehana's brother has come”

Ishani's eyes grew wider hearing him and the moment she smiled wholeheartedly.

“Where is he? Let him meet Rehana di. She will be so happy seeing her”

“But… “

“But what Bhaiya?”

“Our parents will be so angry seeing his in-laws.”

“Who are his in-laws?” She asked with fear and Abhimaan looked at his back.

~♥~

Abhimaan was getting ready when his phone started ringing, he looked at the caller id and found it's from the detective officer.

“Hello”

“Sir we've found Rehan Chaudhury. Sir, you have seen him years ago at the Conference in US. We've found his location and we get to know that he is none other than son-in-law of our senior detective Soham Rajput's and The famous fashion designer Aadya Rajput. Their daughter Siya was married to him two years ago. He used to live in Los Angeles after leaving Dubai and came to India a year back. He is currently living with his In-laws in Soham Sir's apartment.”

Abhimaan felt his throat dry. That's why he was finding his name so familiar because they've met each other at the US conference. The same conference where he also met with Mayank.

He removed the pagdi from his head and frustratingly ran his fingers through his hairs and cut the call.

“What should I do now? Rehana's brother is Siya’s husband” He wiped his face and looked at the wall clock. There was still so much to start their wedding.

“If I bring him, Aadya Maasi and Soham Maasa will also come. But Maasi hate us so much.”

“But if you don't bring him then Rehana will never be able to see her brother”

Abhimaan looked at the door and found Ayaan was standing there with a straight face.

“Ayaan” abhi got up from the bed and Ayaan entered inside.

“Being him bhai. Forget about the hate for now. Bring Rehan for today. Rehana will be the happiest bride” He held Abhimaan's hand and asked him to bring her brother.

“You're right. For Rehana's happiness. I'll bring him here” Abhimaan said and took his phone.

“You will take care of this, right?”

“Yes…  you go and bring him.” Ayaan patted Abhimaan's shoulders and he left hurriedly.

~♥~

“Abhimaan where is my sister”

Abhi and Ishani turned and found Rehan was looking here and there for his sister.

“Ishani go and take him to Rehana's room”

Ishani nodded her head and took Rehan to Rehana's room.

~♥~

“Di” Ishani called Rehana who was looking outside through the window. Rehana turned and found with Ishani there was a man standing at the doorstep.

Her eyes became heavy and knees trembled. It's been more than a decade since she has seen her brother.

“Bhaijaan” She whispered and tears rolled down from her eyes. Her head spinned and she clutched her head with her right hand and the left hand took a hold of the wall.

“Di”

“Rehana”

Both Ishani and Rehan rushed to her and made her sit on the bed.

She looked at her brother, whose face was filled with concern. And his eyes were wet, like he cried just a moment ago or so on.

“How are you Bhaijaan?” She asked in her trembling voice, palming her brother's cheeks lovingly.

“Hana..” Rehan too cupped his sister's cheeks and wiped the years.

“It's been so long bhaijaan…  I'm hearing Hana from you” She sadly smiled and learned her face more into his broad palms.

“How are you Hana?”

“I'm fine bhaijaan”

Then something clicked on her mind and she looked at Ishani. “Where did you find Bhaijaan, Ishani?”

“Di.. Voo. Di,” Ishani was dumbfounded as to what to say now. Abhimaan didn't say anything about what she should say when Rehana asked something.

“Ishani tell me where did you find him?” She raised her voice a bit and Ishani bit her lips nervously.

“Hana”

Rehana got up from the bed and looked at her brother with questioning eyes. “Bhaijaan…  who told you I'm here? How did you find me? Tell me bhaijaan.”

“Hana calm down my baby. You're getting hyper, it's not good for your mental health” Rehan held Rehana by her shoulder and she looked at him confusingly.

“Apko kaise pta?”

(How do you know?)

“Rohit Reddy, your doctor, we are childhood friend, if you remember.”

“You asked him?”

“Do you think I can forget my sister? I know I'm the worst brother but still I love you Hana.”

“He has never told me that he's in contact with you”

“I asked him not to.”

“He told you everything? Then why didn't you come to me?” Rehana asked and Rehan shook his head negatively.

“Why bhaijaan? Why this hide and seek?” He held his arms and shook him, while he stood there hanging his head low.

“I'm sorry”

“I've cried night after night for you bhaijaan.”

“As I've asked him not to tell you about me. He didn't tell me anything about your whereabouts. He didn't even inform me that you're married to ammu's best friend's son. He didn't tell me anything, Hana except your well-being.” He cupped her cheeks.

“You're lying. I know you're lying bhaijaan.” She jerked his hands off from her cheeks. And asked him again.

“Who brought you here bhaijaan?”

“Hana let's sit and talk please”

“No bhaijaan, tell me who brought you here?” she yelled at Rehan akd took deep breaths. Ishani hugged Rehana and rubbed her back. “Calm down, di” She whispered.

“Rooh.. Calm down” She heard the calming voice of Abhimaan outside the room.

She turned to look at the door but there was no one.

“Abhimaan, where are you?”

“I'm here outside of your room. I'm near you Rooh stop crying and calm down”

Abhimaan was there outside the room from the time Ishani brought Rehan to her room. He was sure Rehana will get hyper and she surely needs him at that moment.

“Abhimaan I'm coming to you” Saying Rehana was going to go outside but Ishani held her hand and shook her head.

“Please, di. Badi maa and chachi have asked you two not to see each other till the Varmala. It's not auspicious please di, please don't go”

“Ishani…  please cover Rehana's face…  I'm coming inside” Abhimaan said knowing well that Rehana won't listen to her.

Ishani did what she was told and Abhimaan came inside.

“You brought Bhaijaan?”

“Yes. I've kept my promise Rehana”

“Where did you find him?”

“He is Siya's husband.”

“Siya di? You mean Aadya maasi's daughter?”

“Yes”

“How?”

“Few hours ago the investigator called me and informed me that he had found Rehan Chaudhari. He also informed me that we've already met years ago at the US conference. You remember I've told you multiple times that his name is very familiar to me. That's the reason.”

~♥~

Abhimaan came down from his car and straight went to the fifth floor of the apartment, where he knows Aadya lives.

He pressed the doorbell and to his surprise Rehan opened the door.

“Ji?” Rehan asked with a smile opening the door and Abhimaan controlled his anger.

“Rehan Chaudhari?”

“Yes. And you?”

“Let me come in first” He gave Rehan a tight lipped smile and Rehan replied “yes sure”

“So Rehan Chaudhari do you recognize me?”

“No. Who are you?”

“Woah man you've such a short memory”

“Hey mister it would be better if you don't run around the bush and say it clearly”

“Mr. Rehan Chaydhari. Son of Rehman Chaydhari and Mariyam Chaydhari.”

“How do you know about me? There are just a few people who know about my parents identify” Rehan was shocked.

“You'll be more shocked just wait and hear me out.” Abhimaan looked Rehan in the eyes and Rehan gulped his saliva.

“Rehana Chaydhari.. Do you know her?” Abhimaan asked, folding his hands before his chest.

Rehan's eyes grew more hearing his sister's name from an unknown person's mouth. He felt scared of Rehana. He thought this man was his maternal uncle's?

“Do you know her, Mr. Rehan?”

“How do you know her? Tell me what you did with my sister?” Rehan held Abhimaan by his collar and he shuttered as fear took over him.

Abhimaan jerked his hands from his collar and said angrily “why are you showing your fake concern?”

“Fake concern? She is my damn sister”

“Oh really? Then why are you hiding from her? Why haven't you met her for the last 15 years? Why? Do you know how alone she feels? Staying with a big fat family she still craved for your love. why did you never see her in those years Rehan why?”

“Because if I go near my sister, my maternal uncle will kill both of us. I can die for her safety. But I can't put her life in danger. And that man is behind her life. He wants to finish us both because my mother married my father without their will. My father was not so rich at that time when they fell in love with each other and my mamujaan didn't allow my mother to marry him because of his low income. But they used to love each other so much that they decided to run away but my mother's best friend Maheen aunty stopped them from running and consulted with my maternal uncles. They agreed at that time fearing the society. But later after so many years they murdered my parents. My sister was with Maheen aunty's mom that time. And i was out for my study. I think my abbu deliberately sent us away from them because they got the hint that uncle would hurt us.” Rehan slipped on the floor on his knees and cried out.

“I can't see her. But I care for her, trust me. I love my baby sister, Hana , so much. But I can't go near her. They'll not leave her alive”

Abhimaan felt bad hearing everything. Rehana never told him, her family story so deeply. He hold Rehan's shoulder and said “I'm her husband, Abhimaan”

Rehan looked at him doubtfully but Abhi's eyes spoke the truth so he believed him.

“I promised her that I'll find you for her”

“And you did”

“She has cried a lot for you. Do you know your absence and your uncle's torture lead her to serious level of depression”

“I know everything. Her psychiatrist Dr. Rohit Reddy is my childhood friend.”

“You know everything about her?”

“No…  I don't know where she is. I didn't know she is married now. I know nothing about her except her mental state. Rohit never disclosed anything about Rehana to me because I asked him to not tell anything about me to Rehana.”

“How could you do this? Knowing your Sister is in this serious issue you never looked for her.”

“Rohit told me she is in safe hands. He informed me that my mother's best friend Maheen aunty brought her to their home.”

“I'm Maheen Suryavanshi’s son Abhimaan”

“I got it. When you said you're Abhimaan and Rehana's husband. She was promised to you from the beginning.” He smiled at Abhimaan, who smiled back.

Abhimaan helped Rehan to stand on his feet.

“I'm telling you one more important things Abhimaan”

“What is it?”

“Rehana's mental illness was not just about my parents death.”

“What?”

“Yes. There is more to her story”

“What is  it, Rehan?”

“She was just 12 when she first got a severe panic attack. And the reason was…  she has seen my mother  was being raped by my maternal uncle. After the incident, she became silent. The cheerful Rehana became all silent. We all filed a case against our Mamujaan but them being powerful the case got close. My mother didn't get justice for 8 years before they killed her. Noone knows this except our family. Ammu didn't even let us inform Maheen aunty fearing she would judge her and would never agree to yours and Rehana's marriage. My father kept fighting for 8 years to give his wife justice but it went useless in front of their powers. I'm two hundred percent sure Rehana would never say this to you. But as a husband you have the right to know everything about your wife and her family background.”

Both the men looked at each other, before Rehan hold Abhimaam's hand.

“Promise me Abhimaan you'll never leave her and will protect her”

“If anyone tries to touch her single hair I will make sure his hands are cut down from his body.”

Rehan smiled and wiped his tears. He then looked at Abhimaan's outfit and asked “is any function going on, in your house?”

“Today is Rehana and my wedding”

“Ohh…”

“Come with me Rehan.”

“I can't”

“You have to”

“She will be danger if I do so”

“I promise you nothing will happen to your sister. Nor to you. They don't know us. They don't know Yuvaan Singh Suryavanshi and Dev Singh Suryavanshi” Abhimaan smirked and Rehan confusedly looked at him .

“You don't worry about them…  they're a coward , that's why they're playing from afar.”

Rehan was going to say something when Siya came into the Hall and was shocked to see Abhimaan there.

“Abhi bhaiya”

Abhimaan turned and found Siya looking at him surprisingly.

“Siya” Abhimaan engulfed Siya and she also smiled  but Rehan was confused as hell.

“You know him Siya?”

“Yes.. He is my cousin. Abhi bhaiya. But how do you know him”

“He is Rehana's husband”

“Rehana? means your sister Rehana?” Siya asked confusingly.

“yes his sister Rehana. You also know her”

“Don't tell me bhaiya our Rehana is Rehan's sister”

“Yes. It's true”

“Oh my god” Siya jumped in happiness and laughed out.

“What the hell is happening here?” They heard Aadya's voice from the staircase and found Aadya with Soham coming down.

They're too shocked to find Abhimaan at their house.

Later Abhimaan told them everything and asked them to come with him at their wedding.

“We're not coming Abhi”

“Why Maasi? Why are you angry at us?”

“I'm not angry Abhi. But it's been years since I've stopped talking with your parents. It'll be so awkward.” Aadya said and moved her face to the other side but Abhimaan came forward and held her hands.

“Trust me they'll be so happy to see you and Mausa there”

“I've insulted them, Abhi. I blamed them for Di and Jiju's death.”

“They didn't mind that at all Maasi. Because they knew how emotional you are and how much you loved your sister”

“Soham?” Aadya turned to her husband and asked him through the eyes.

“Let's go Aadya” Soham held his wife by her shoulder and pressed to give her comfort.

~♥~

“Why can't I just hug you Abhi?” Rehana whined hearing everything from Abhimaan, making everyone chuckle, who're present there.

“Let me hug you on behalf of Abhi bhaiya, di” Ishani hugged her from behind and Rehana smiled.

“Now no more cries okay. Your brother is here…  talk with him until they call you down”

“Abhi when we're going back home?”

“Maybe tomorrow”

“But I don't want to go home…  it's just three days we've come to this beautiful palace” Ishani said dreamily.

Everyone for the two weddings came to the famous palace of Delhi, Suryavanshi recently bought this Palace in their name and it's the first function happening there.

“You guys talk…  I'll take your leave now. Because I've to see what is happening down there” Abhimaan left with that and Rehana introduced Ishani to her brother.

“Bhaijaan then will you perform my kanyadaan?” She asked with a hope of positive answer from her brother but before Rehan could say anything a feminie vouce caught their attention.

“Yes.. Why not? Your brother and I, we will together perform the rituals of your Kanyadaan”

They turned and found Siya was standing there.

Rehana has seen Siya once over the video call. So she recognized her, but Ishani looked at her lost in thought.

“Ishani she is Siya di, …  you remember Aadya Maasi? Her daughter”

“Is she our Ayaan's wife?” Siya asked, coming inside and Rehana nodded her head.

Siya hugged Ishani and she smiled in return, hugging her back.

They talked for some time until Maheen came into the room to call them for Varmaala.

Whereas Samaira ran down stairs when she heard that Soham, his brother, had come along with Aadya.

“We're not angry, Aadya. Do you think we can stay angry at you?” Maheen patted Aadya's back while Yuvaan and Soham hugged each other, followed by Dev.

“I'm sorry Mahi bhabi”

“Stop with your sorry Aadya. It's enough” mahi said strictly and she made a cute pout.

“Maami I'm going to see Rehana and Ishani, Abhimaan told me they are on the room”

Maheen nodded her head and then her eyes went to Samaira who's wiping her tears.

“Come Sam” Aadya opened her arms and Samaira hugged her, running towards her with a smile.

Soham came near them and hugged them together.

“I missed you So,”

“I missed you too Sam” Soham kissed his sister's forehead.

“Didn't you miss me?” Aadya asked and Samaira teasingly shook her head.

Aadya whined like she used to do years ago and everyone laughed.

“I missed you Aadya”

“I missed you all. Once again I'm sorry”

“Enough enough of this sorry now Aadya” Yuvaan said, patting her head.

“The children have grown up so much,” Soham said.

“Haan jaise tum to budhe nhi hue ho? Abhi tak jawan ho” Dev said in a mocking tone and Soham rolled his eyes.

Samaira glared at Dev and he shut his mouth.

~♥~

“You guys really were unaware that Rehan is Rehmaan's son?” Dev asked once again and Soham shook his head.

“Actually he never told us. He just told us that his parents died about four years ago. Also he was away from home since he was 21 years old.” Soham informed everyone and everyone nodded their heads.

“Actually Siya and Rehan married each other In Los Angeles and informed us, coming back to India, one and half years ago.. We at first didn't accept them. But Rehan is such a gentleman and a good hearted person so we agreed and they stayed back here” Aadya said and they heard the music from outside.

“Badi maa, Chachi, Raunak and his family have arrived” Ayaan said, coming inside the Hall and everyone got up to welcome them.

~♥~

“Bhai everything will be okay right?” Raunak asked, feeling nervous. He was feeling a mix of emotion right now.

“Everything will be fine, don't worry my brother” Mayank patted Raunak's back and he smiled at him.

“Chachu…  se my pants are oversized I think” Roop said holding the strings of his lower and Raunak chuckled at his nephew.

“Let's make you ready, chachu's champ” Raunak picked Roop in his arms and came out from Mayank's room to go to his room.

Mayank was buttoning up his sherwani when Trisha entered after getting ready.

Mayank saw her through the mirror and found she was lost in something.

“Trisha what happened?” He asked, holding her shoulders and Trisha just hugged him.

“I don't know Mayank but I'm not feeling well. I mean something bad is going to happen”

“Shh…  think positive”

“I'm trying. By the way did you talk with Mimmi and Diti?”

“I talked with them last night before going to bed”

She broke the hug and asked him “what did they say? Their passport issues sorted or not?”

“Yes.. And they're coming tonight”

“Really… . Raunak would be so happy” Trisha said excitedly and was going to exit the room when Mayank held her wrist from behind and pulled her close.

Tucking the loose hair locks behind her ears he kissed her forehead and she smiled in return.

“Do not tell him right now. It's a surprise for him Trisha”

“Oh okay okay …  I'll not tell him. But I'm so happy” Trisha said and Mayank just smiled at her.

~♥~

He was feeling something was terribly wrong. So he called Aditya the night before the wedding.

“Hey Mayank how are you”

“Diti…  your passport issue got sorted?”

“Passport issue? Whose passport issue?”

“You don't have any passport issue?”

“No, what are you saying?”

“Okay…  them I'm booking flight tickets for you and mimmi, come to India as fast as possible” Mayank said

“But what happened? Is everything okay there?”

“tomorrow is Raunak wedding “

“What the hell are you saying?”

“I'm telling the truth, Diti. Please come soon…  you'll see everything by yourself but please do not inform anyone else about this right now”

“Okay okay we're coming”

Mayank frustratingly threw the phone on the bed and rubbed his forehead. He was angry, he was confused, he was surprised. He was not understanding anything at that moment.

~♥~

“They're coming back to make everything okay, Trisha. Don't worry. I don't know why Raunak lied to everyone.” He said to himself through the mirror and left the room for the barati.
