✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: - :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

So many dhamaka on this chapter.

So bear with it.

And yes Heer and Aditya came back to their family.

Let's start.....

"now it's time for Kanyadaan, Vadhu ke aur se ayiye kon Kanyadaan karna chahte hai"

(Please come from the bride side who's going to perform the kanyadaan ritual)

Pandit ji said with a smile and Rehana looked at her brother, he was coming with his wife at the mandap and sat beside her.

"Hum Rehana ke bhaijaan aur yeh bhabijaan hai"

(We're Rehana's bhai and bhabi)

Rehan said bowing his head in front of the Pandit ji who nodded his head and started reciting the mantras while putting ghee on the fire.

Abhimaan held Rehana's right hand with his left one and she looked at him.

"I love you" He mouthed and she blushed.

"Bhaiya... romance baad mein kijiyega... abhi mantra padh lijiye"

Hiya said from outside the mandap and everyone chuckled while Abhimaan glared and Rehana tried to free her hand from his grip.

Later, according to Pandit ji, Rehan joined Rehana and Abhimaan palms together.

"Please take care of her." Rehan said in a pleading tone while Abhimaan smiled, tightening his grip around her palm and nodded his head. While Rehana's eyes become watery and she looked between her brother and husband.

"Now it's time for Sindurdaan"

Abhimaan took some Vermillion from the box between his forefinger and thumb, Ishani forwarded to him and turned to his wife. While Hiya pulled her veil up.

He looked at her and found she was already looking at him, they smiled at each other and he put the Vermillion on her hair partition, while her eyes became closed and tears fell down from her eyes.

Ishani gave him the nuptials chain and he leaned to her, to tie the chain around her neck.

"Please don't cry." He whispered near her ears and she looked at him, trying to smile a little. "I love you" he mumbled, kissing her forehead at last and everyone clapped for the couple.

"Now we can declare them as husband and wife" Pandit ji said and Abhimaan got up then helped Rehana too.

"Take blessing from the elders"

The bride and groom nodded their heads and stepped down holding each other's hand from the mandap to the family. Who were already waiting for them.

Abhimaan and Rehana bent down to touch Yuvaan and Maheen's feet.

"God bless you both" Yuvaan patted their head and hugged them.

"May Allah always bless you" Maheen kissed their foreheads.

Hiya and Ishani hugged Rehana tightly as soon as they finished taking blessings from Dev and Samaira.

"Congratulations" Both the girls screamed, making Rehana smile widely.

"Congratulations bhai" Ayaan jumped over Abhimaan and said. Abhimaan chuckled and patted his back, "thank you Ayaan. Now please get down monkey"

Everyone chuckled looking at Ayaan's annoying face as Abhimaan addressed him 'Monkey'

"Congratulations Abhimaan" Vihaan also hugged him and patted his shoulder.

~♥~

After Congratulating Abhimaan and Rehana everyone got ready to witness another wedding of Raunak and Divya.

Hiya and Ishani took Divya to the mandap while Mayank brought Raunak, as they're inside till now with Mayank and Trisha.

They sat down on their seats and Pandit ji started the procedure.

"Mayank where are Mimmi and Diti?" Trisha whispered into Mayank's ears and he shook his head.

"I don't know Trisha, they should have been here by now" He said and took out his phone from his pocket.

"You should go inside Rehana," Maheen said, caressing Rehana's hair.

"No mumma, I want to see their wedding" she said with a cute pout which melted Maheen's heart and she agreed to let her stay there.

"Now you two should get up for the pheras"

Raunak helped Divya to stand up and their eyes met. He was the first one who broke the eyelock and looked away. Damn... . He was going to hurt her, badly.

He gulped and looked back at Divya, who's still smiling at him. They held each other's palm and started taking vows around the fire.

"Trisha you wait here... I'm going to see the outside if they're coming or not" Mayank was impatient for Heer and Aditya's arrival.

Trisha was going to say something to him, but before that he had already left in a hurry dialling Aditya's number.

"Where did he go?" Rehana asked, looking at the tensed Trisha, who caught off guard and shook her head with a smile.

"Must be some important call Rehana" She said and hugged Rehana to said"Congratulations"

"thank you Trisha bhabi"

"Rooh aunty" Rehana looked down at the pull of her lehenga's bottom and found Roop was looking at her with his beautiful eyes.

"Hey Rooh ka Roop, you're looking handsome champ" She bent down to his level and kissed his cheeks one by one, to which he shyly lowered his head and blushed hard.

"You are looking so beautiful, Rooh aunty" He said, caressing her cheeks and Rehana smiled at him. At the same time Abhimaan came towards them and picked Roop in his arms.

"Hey little man, you're looking handsome today"

"Yeah I know, Rooh aunty already said that" Roop said with a little bit of an attitude and Abhimaan rolled his eyes at his reply. While Rehana and Trisha laughed out loud.

"She is my wife now" Abhimaan whispered into his ears and Roop looked at him with a coy smile, making him confused. "Hey why are you blushing dude? I said she is my bride. Not yours" Abhimaan said and Roop looked him in the eyes.

"I know... . And do you know that my bride is loading?"

Abhimaan scrunched his eyebrows at his words and asked "what do you mean by loading?"

"My momma said that my bride is inside Rooh aunty's tummy" He said and Abhimaan dropped him to his feet with an annoying glare.

"You're a hopeless child" He shook his head at the little boy and he showed him his tongue, then hugged his mumma's legs.

While Abhimaan shook his head and left the place to go near Ayaan.

~♥~

"Mimmi Diti, hashh finally you two are here" Mayank took breaths of relief after seeing Aditya and Heer coming down from the cab and entering inside the gate.

"Mayank, how are you beta?" Heer asked and Mayank nodded his head.

"Mimmi please hurry up... we will ask questions later. First you need to see what is happening inside. Raunak and Divya getting married" He hold both their hands and started dragging them inside the Hall but in good manner, not to hurt them.

~♥~

"Please do not make her cry" Dev said, controlling his tears, requesting to his son-in-law, while placing Divya's hand over Raunak's.

Raunak smiled at Dev, as he was unable to say anything right now. Because he was feeling suffocating all of a sudden because of the way he was marrying Divya, he was surely going to hurt her.

Trisha lifted up Divya's veil and Raunak took the Vermillion from the box, Hiya was offering to him to fill Divya's partition.

His hands started shaking as he turned towards her and imagined how hurt she would be after knowing for what he did, marry her. He surely loves her no matter what but the purpose will break her. He was sure to hurt her family; he was going to hurt his love the most.

He closed his eyes and gulped the hard, before filling Divya's head. And she closed her eyes as some Vermillion fell down in the process from her head to her nose.

"Raunak" Raunak was startled hearing the known feminine voice from the backside of the mandap and everyone turned to the source.

Maheen was shocked hearing the familiar sweet female voice after ages, and looked behind her back to find Heer and Aditya were standing there in shocked faces.

Everyone became shocked and surprised looking at the older couple who were standing with Mayank at a distance.

Divya also turned and got shocked when she heard Raunak mumbling "Mimmi"

Her eyes widened, realising she was his mimmi, and the man standing beside her was his Diti. Who're actually their choti maa and chote papa, Hiya- Ayaan's dead parents.

Divya got up with the help of excited Trisha, who're unaware of the storm coming and Raunak too got up after everyone left the mandap to see them.

"Heer, Aditya"

"Adi bhai, Heer bhabi"

"Choti maa and Chote papa"

"Mumma" Hiya lost her balance looking at her parents, as she saw them for the first time. She was shocked, she was happy, there were mixed emotions working inside her brain and heart.

"You two are alive?" It was Ayaan, who's question shook everyone.

Ishani stood beside her husband and held his hands, which were fisting a moment ago.

But this time neither her presence nor her hold worked to calm down his anger.

"Bhaiya Bhabi" Heer looked at everyone, shockingly and tears made their way from her eyes looking at her family after 26 years.

She never imagined even in her dreams that she and Adi will be able to meet their family again. The family for which they sacrificed themselves. The family for which they were already dead. The family , for which to save them, she and Aditya left this country, their children, everything.

"Dev-Samaira, Yuv bhaiya- Mahi bhabhi" " Aditya's eyes flickered between everyone but those four faces were known amongst them all.

"You guys know each other?" Mayank asked, expecting there is something more to this family.

"Mumma papa" Hiya mumbled looking at them from afar and Vihaan held her arms as she was going to fall down.

"Hiya.." He whispered and hugged her as she cried in his arms.

"They're... they're" Maheen was speechless to everyone.

"They're Ayaan and Hiya's parents," Abhimaan said, equally shocked as everyone.

"What?" Trisha and Mayank reacted in unison and Abhimaan nodded his head as yes.

"He is Abhimaan, Aditya? Look how much he has grown up" Heer said with a smile holding Aditya's hand and Aditya chuckled, while nodding his head.

"You two are really here?" Abhimaan came forward and asked, still confused with the fact that they're alive.

Aditya pulled him in his embrace and kissed his hairs with love. While Heer smiled with tears and caressed Abhimaan's hair.

"I'm your choti maa, Abhi" Heer said, caressing Abhimaan's face as Aditya released him from the hug.

"I know. But we thought you two were..." He couldn't complete his sentence as his voice became heavy and he looked aside to let down the tears.

"How is this even possible?" Dev asked, shaking his head.

"Dev" Aditya came forward and hugged Dev who didn't hug back him, to which Aditya felt weird and looked at him, breaking the hug.

"Why?" His one word and smile which formed into Heer and Aditya's face vanished.

"Bhaiya'' Aditya moved forward to Yuvaan who stepped backwards and held his palm in the air to stop him. His eyes were bloodshot red and anyone could tell he was damn angry.

"Bhaiya"

"Don't... you have no right to call me bhaiya'' Yuvaan said strictly. Heer came forward and bent down to touch Yuvaan's feet.

Yuvaan couldn't back out this time as he accepted And loved Heer as his own Sister for years.

"Bhaiya" She called and He looked away.

Heer smiled sadly at their behaviour. Because it was expected.

"Mahi bhabhi, Samaira" She extended her arms to welcome them in the hug and no one came forward.

She reluctantly folded her arms and stood in front of Dev. "Dev"

"Why Heer bhabi? Why did you two lie to us?" Dev yelled at her and felt a push from Aditya.

"Don't Dev. Do not raise your voice at my wife. I can understand you all are angry at us but never ever yell at my wife" Aditya said holding Dev collars. And left them when Dev looked another side to not wanting to meet his gaze.

"Aditya please" Heer held Aditya's arms and he cooled down.

"Yeh marne ke natak kyun?" Maheen asked and they both looked down feeling guilty.

"Do you know how much it caused pain to all of us? Why did you two do this? Why did you two lie and go away? You didn't even look back at your children. Do you know how much they cried for you two?"

"I know bhabi you four never made them realise that they're not your children but ours."

"That's another thing Heer bhabi... but parents are parents no one can take their places" Samaira said

"I know Samaira. But..."

"Mumma" Hiya ran from Vihaan's arms to her parents. And Heer looked at her with a soft gaze.

She has not seen her daughter for 26 years. The last time she took her daughter in her arms, when Hiya was only 4 months old.

Heer forward her palms to touch Hiya's cheeks. Her fingers were trembling when her fingers touched Hiya's skin and she closed her eyes. Hiya held Heer's palm which was palming her cheeks and smiled with tears flowing down.

"Mumma"

"Ekbar aur ka ho"

(Please say once more)

Heer held Hiya's both hands and she smiled.

"Mumma"

"Ekbar aur beta"

(Please once more beta)

"Mumma... mumma... mumma" Hiya screamed in joy and hugged her mother.

"Hiya. My Hiya. My baby" Heer caressed Hiya's hair as she cried out in her mother's arms.

"I've missed you so much mumma. I always used to ask everyone about you two. Why didn't you come to us? Didn't you miss us?" Hiya asked hiccuping. And Heer kissed Hiya's whole face.

"You don't even imagine how much we missed you" Aditya came forward and the mother-daughter duo broke the hug.

"Papa" Hiya mumbled and hugged Aditya the next moment, causing him to lose his balance for once but he composed himself and Hiya and hugged her back.

"Hiya my baby"

"Papa... I missed you... I wanted to see you for once in my life. I never imagined you two would come one day"

"Even me and your mumma too never imagined this day will come in our life once again" Aditya said cupping Hiya's cheek and then kissed her forehead.

Hiya broke the hug with her father and stood between them. She smiled looking at them one by one and held their hands.

Heer and Aditya smiled at Hiya and looked back at the family members who're still looking upset.

"Let me introduce you two to everyone" She said excitedly and Abhimaan brought Rehana closer to them.

They both bent down and touched Heer and Aditya's feet.

"She is Rehana... Abhi bhaiya's wife. I'm sure you remember Mariyam aunty and Rehmaan uncle, Rehana is their daughter."

Rehana smiled at Hiya's parents and Aditya patted her head. "God bless you two"

"Thank you"

"You are as pretty as your mom used to be" Heer said, caressing Rehana's cheeks who shyly nodded her head at the complement and grip tightened around Abhimaan's hand.

Abhimaan and Rehana stood aside so that they could meet the others.

"Abhimaan i want to say something" Rehana whispered into Abhimaan's ear.

"Not now... we will talk later" Abhimaan smiled at Rehana and she whined.

She wanted to tell him that she has seen Heer before. When they're leaving Gulmarg, from the guest house she collided with this lady. But alas her husband was not ready to listen to anything right now so she annoyingly moved her face aside, folding her arms over her chest.

"She is my mother-in-law and He is my husband Vihaan" Hiya said to her parents and Meera joined her palms.

"When did you get married?" Heer asked with a heavy voice and Aditya blinked his eyes, asking her to control her emotions.

"It's been one month," Vihaan replied, this time coming forward and bent down to his parents-in-law's feet.

"God bless you beta..." Heer said.

"I've nothing to say to you. I think you know Hiya more than us" Aditya patted Vihaan's head.

"She is everything to me," Vihaan said, making them smile.

"Was it a love marriage?" Heer asked and Hiya blushed looking down, shaking her head as no.

"It's love from my side and arrange from her side I guess"

Aditya chuckled but Heer frowned.

"But I love you too" Hiya said without realising the position they're standing and immediately regretted as a smile formed on everyone's lips.

"Come mumma, papa... she is Divya and He is Ayaan bhai and she is Ishani, Ayaan bhai's wife" Hiya said excitedly but her excitement died when she looked at Ayaan's angry face.

"Bhai... come see our mumma papa" Hiya said with fear and Vihaan held her arms as Ayaan looked at her with his bloodshot red eyes.

"They are no one to us Hiya"

"What are you saying bhai"

"The truth. I'm telling the truth, Hiya. They're no one to us. We've no parents. We've only our badi maa bade papa and chachu chachi"

"Bhai please... don't say it like this. Can't you see how much they're looking hurt"

"Oh? Hurt? Really? Don't you think it's all fake? They're taking it Hiya. I can't believe they're alive. And if they're alive, ask them why they lied to us? Why did they leave us years ago? Why do they act like they're dead?" Ayaan raised his voice at the end and Hiya flinched at his tone.

Vihaan was going to say something when Hiya held Vihaan's hand, stopping him from fighting for her with her brother right now.

Hiya wiped her tears and once again started conversations with Ayaan. "Bhai... please don't be angry. Aren't you happy that they're back, safe and alive?"

"No... I'm not happy. I was happy when I knew that they're dead. I'm not happy seeing them back after 26 years. They never think of us before leaving, so why would I care about them?"

Tears were continuously flowing from Heer's eyes as she saw the hatred in her son's eyes.

"Bhai please"

"Hiya please. Don't bother me. I'm not interested to see them or to talk with them. They're dead for me. If you want you can talk with them but don't force me"

Saying Ayaan removed Ishani's palm over his and left the place, wiping the corner of his eyes.

"Ayaan..." Ishani looked at his back and called him but he didn't listen and went inside.

Ishani sighed hard and looked back at the family.

Heer had a painful smile while Aditya was shocked seeing their son this much angry.

"Namaste" Ishani joined her both palms in front of Ayaan's parents and then bent down to touch their feet.

"You're so pretty" Heer caressed Ishani's face and she smiled in return.

"God bless you" Aditya patted Ishani's head and she looked at Hiya the next moment.

"Mom, I should go and check on Ayaan" Abhimaan came forward and asked his mother, but Ishani interrupted him. "Bhaiya... you stay here... I'm going to him"

"But what if he yell at you too"

"He will never do that Abhi. Let her go" Maheen said and Ishani left the next moment.

"It's okay, why are you feeling sad, hmm?" Heer asked her daughter and hugged. "Bhai never yelled at me ever"

"He is angry... that's why maybe. We're fine, see... it's okay"

"What is this happening, will anyone tell me?" Mayank asked Abhimaan. He was as confused as hell. He never thought that something like this would've happened.

"Mimmi and Diti are your family?" He asked Abhimaan further and he nodded his head. "But how do you know them, Mayank?"

"We used to live together in New York. They raised Raunak after his mother's death."

Everyone's eyes went to Raunak who was still standing at the mandap. While Divya was before him.

"Who is Raunak's Mother?" Maheen asked, looking between Raunak and Heer-Aditya. "Tell us... who is Raunak's mother?"

"Sharvari Rajvansh" This is the first time Raunak said something after Heer and Aditya's arrival.

"What?"

"What the hell is this?"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked and surprised hearing Raunak's mother's name.

Divya was numb. She couldn't feel anything after hearing the name of Sharvari Rajvansh. She knew this woman was the sole reason for what happened in their family. And how much everyone hated her. Realising in what purpose Raunak married her shook her from the core.

"Yes... it's true. He is Sharvari Rajvansh younger son Raunak"

"And who is Mayank to him then? We didn't knew any of her son is alive"

"Sharvari Rajvansh was my bua. I'm the son of her younger brother Samar"

Samaira trembled hearing the name again, which has given her multiple nightmares and sleepless nights.

"Why did you lie to us?" Abhimaan held Raunak's collar and He laughed dryly.

"Seriously Abhi bhai... I lied to you all? When did I lie? You guys never asked me about my mom dad name."

"Why did you marry Divya?" He asked gritting his teeth dangerously.

"To torture her" Abhimaan's hold loosened from his collar. "Yes... the pain your parents gave me by killing my family.. I'm going to return the pain to you all by torturing your princess" He corrected his sherwani and walked down from the mandap.

Walking past Divya, he stood in front of the family.

"26 years back you two killed my mother at the gas leaking" He pointed his fingers to Heer and Aditya.

"Are you out of your mind what are you saying Raunak?" Mayank yelled at him.

"This is the truth bhaiya. Do you think if I am wrong then they'll listen my accusations"

"Who told you about this?" Heer asked and Raunak looked back at her "Adarsh mamu and Ankita mami has shown me every CCTV footage of that day. Also how Diti and Mr. Yuvaan Suryavanshi killed my elder brother Saksh. How Dev Suryavanshi killed my mama. I've seen everything Mimmi" Raunak gave a painful smile to them.

"They both fed you only lies Raunak."

"If it was only their statement then I would never believe them, Diti. But I've seen all the footage."

He held Heer's hand "why did you two lied to me all the time Mimmi? Why" Raunak was also in tears. He couldn't see them crying.

"you misinterpret everything Raunak. I've nothing to say to you. Because you will never believe us over your own people."

"You two are my everything from all those years, I asked you multiple times what happened with my family. You never said the truths"

"we did not lie also. We told you that your mother died from gas leaking and this is the damn truth" Aditya said

"Why did you involve Divya in all of this? What was her mistake if according to you we're your culprits" Yuvaan asked and Raunak glanced at Divya before saying "you all snatched the most precious person from me, my mother. I just return the favour to you all by snatching your favourite Divya from you all. Trust me it was fun playing with you all." He said and laughed at last.

Heer slapped Raunak hard and he laughed out more.

"It was expected"

"I never knew you would turn like your mother."

"Alas... you know blood"

"Yes... to you there is no value in a heart relationship. You showed your true colours of being the son of Sharvari."

"And I'm proud of that Mimmi. Trust me I am so proud of myself that you agreed I'm the son of my mother."

"You coward. You bastard." Abhimaan started punching Raunak.

"Abhi" Rehana gasped looking at how angry Abhimaan was right now and Hiya held her arms to stop her from going near them.

"I'll kill you for ruining my sister's life" Abhimaan was going to punch him in the face when Divya stopped him. She came in between them and shook her head, pleading, Abhimaan with her eyes.

"Stay aside Divya. I'll kill this bastard today. How dare he fake his love for you?"

"Bhaiya... please he is my husband" Divya said, making everyone shocked and Abhimaan too stopped.

"Divya"

"Yes bhaiya..."

"He fooled us for his revenge Divya"

"I myself drank this poison bhaiya..."

"I'll not let you suffer with him. You are not going with him" Abhimaan hugged his sister who cried in his embrace.

Raunak was shocked to see Divya going against her family for him.

He knew she loved him. But never imagined she would choose him at this moment too.

"manna padega waise.. Is ghar mein agar koi akalmand insaan hai to vo sirf Abhimaan Suryavanshi. Baki sabke sab bewakoof." Raunak laughed and continued with a smirk. "He always tried to make you all understand that my biography is not clear. But none of you listened to him for once. He tried his level best at finding anything about parents and you all stopped him every time"

Yuvaan closed his eyes in guilt as he was the first person who stopped Abhimaan.

"We should have listened to Abhimaan at the beginning" Dev ran his fingers through his hairs frustratingly.

"How could you do this Raunak?" Mayank asked angrily.

"Aren't you happy Bhai? That I'm one step ahead of my revenge. They killed your biological father too"

"Shut up. Stop this rubbish Raunak and say sorry to everyone"

"Never. I would never say sorry to anyone of them"

"Raunak" Mayank was going to slap Raunak but Trisha stopped him.

"Let's go bhabi, should we go back to our home" Raunak said, taking a glance at Divya who broke the hug and wiped Abhimaan's tears.

"Please don't cry for me"

"If you want, then come soon... . I'm not going to stay the night here" Saying Raunak walked past her and left the Hall while removing the pagdi from his head.

"You are not going with him. I'll not let you go to hell" abhimaan said and Divya smiled painfully.

"I have to bhaiya. He is my husband now"

"Do hell with your husband... I'll not let you suffer because of his fucking revenge"

"Abhimaan... let her come with us" Mayank said but Abhimaan still shook his head in denial.

"We will be there for her, Abhimaan" Trisha said this time to assure Abhimaan.

"Also he will never hurt her, I know. No matter how much time he would say he did marry her for his revenge. Still I know he loves Divya"

"I don't care about his love Mayank."

"Bhaiya please let me go" Divya said joining her hands and Abhimaan again hugged her.

"Please take care of my sister Trisha"

"We will"

Later Divya met everyone one by one. When she went close to her mother. Both mother- daughter duo cried hard.

"Just call us if he tortures you" Samaira kissed her forehead and she nodded her head.

"This is your house. You don't need anyone's permission to come here. Whenever you feel you want to see us just come" Maheen said and Divya kissed her palms .

"I have nothing to say... I'm the first person who didn't listen to Abhimaan when he said several times that Rauank had a mystery"

"It's okay... I don't blame anyone Bade papa... because if anyone has to be blamed it would be me. I myself choose Raunak"

"Papa" She called Dev who was looking away in shame. But as her voice reached his ears he hugged Divya and kissed her hair.

"I'm sorry princess... I failed as a father"

"Please papa.. Don't say like this"

"Please forgive me"

"Papa you did nothing. If possible please you all forgive me... because I'm the one who brought Raunak into this family"

"Take care of yourself" Vihaan patted her head as he touched his feet.

"Please don't change yourself for him. This darkness will disappear soon. We all know how much Rauank loves you" Hiya kissed Divya's forehead and they both shared a hug.

"Take care okay... I won't be around you to look after'' Divya tried to say strictly but when Rehana hugged her, she cried out.

"I'm going to miss you so much Divi"

"I'll miss you too Rooh"

"He is not bad Divya. They made him like this. I have been with him when he was just 4 months old. He has a good heart. And I know you'll erase his pain." Heer said and Divya nodded her head.

"We will spend so much time together one day"

"Sure why not..." Aditya said and she looked at him.

"You two are not going back right?"

Heer and Aditya looked at the family members who smiled at them and the duo shook their heads.

"That's good..."

"You just take care of yourself... we will surely make Raunak understand about everything related to his mother's death"

"Please come Divya," Trisha held Divya's hand and she looked back at her family. They waved at her and she waved them back before leaving the Hall with her new family members.

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: - :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

I don't know how much did I meet your expectations but I tried my best. It was the most toughest chapter of this story till now. And Raunak's revenge will start from now on.

Stay tuned

Thank you

Love you all ❤
