“We're going back to home tomorrow morning ” Yuvaan said and left the place without meeting anyone's eyes. .

“He is so hurt” Aditya sighed and looked down for a moment.

“Do you think what happened today is so pleasing for us?” Dev murmured angrily and left, removing his pagdi from his head.

“We're extremely sorry Bhabi, Samaira please talk to us” Heer held their hands.

Samaira couldn't take it any more and bursted into tears. Maheen and Heer hugged and patted her back.

“Everything will be fine Samaira please don't cry” Maheen said and they broke the hug.

“We pushed Divya into the hell Bhabi”

“Samaira…  I myself raised Raunak, I know him more than anyone else here. And I also know how much he loves Divya. He will never hurt her trust me”

“Blood speaks Heer bhabi…  didn't you see the hatred in his eyes for us? He was determined to torture her for our deeds” Samaira looked away and wiped her tears.

“He has a good heart unlike his family Samaira. I agree what he did was so wrong but trust me Divya is safe with him more than she would be with anyone else.” Aditya said and Samaira looked at him.

“I just want my daughter to be happy, nothing else. I don't want to see her facing humiliation for the deeds she never did.” saying Samaira left.

“Why is this so complicated?” Hiya asked and Aditya looked at her with a sad smile. “Everything will be sorted soon Hiya.”

“You two don't think that we're forgiving you so easily. We want a good explanation” Maheen said glaring at Aditya and Heer who nodded their heads.

“We surely will tell you everything bhabi.. Please just give us some time. It's too much for us too” Aditya requested to which Maheen nodded her head.

“Hiya go and show them Divya's room. It's just a matter of a night…  we'll be leaving for villa tomorrow morning.” Saying Maheen turned to leave but stopped near Meera and asked her to come.

“Mumma, papa come with me” Hiya's excitement has no bound.. Seeing her parents in front of her.

They're leaving when something stuck on Hiya's brain and she turned to find Siya and Rehan were still standing a little far, watching everything confusing-ly.

“Mumma papa…  look, they're Siya and Rehan. Aadya maasi's daughter Siya and he is Rehana's elder brother”

“My Aadya's daughter?” Heer eyes glistened with happy tears looking at them.

Siya and Rehan looked at each other and then came forward. They bent down to touch Heer and Aditya's feet. But in return the couple hugged them.

“I never knew my sister has a daughter”

“God bless you both” Aditya patted their head with affection.

“Where is Soham and Aadya? They didn't come for the wedding?”

“They came but has to left as there was an emergency” Siya replied and hold Rehan's hand tightly.

“You resemble your father so much” Aditya said to Rehan and he smiled awkwardly.

“Hope your parents are doing well…  by the way why didn't they come? It's their daughter's wedding after all? I missed Mariyam di so much” Heer poured out excitedly.

Rehan gulped and looked at his sister who's crying, lowering her head. But thanks to Abhimaan who's there with her.

“They're no more”

Rehan's words felt like a bucket of ice for Heer and Aditya.

“They died long ago” Saying Rehan turned and left the place in a hurry.

“Rehan… stop Rehan” Siya screamed but he was fast enough to leave.

“We're sorry Maasi…  but I have to check on him. I'll inform mumma and papa about you two”  Heer nodded her head, she was too shocked to react right now. Siya left behind Rehan.

So much happened in these 26 years…  and they're unaware of everything.

“Bhaijaan” Rehana whispered and Abhimaan hugged her. The topic of her parents always makes her cry.

“It's okay.. It's a sensitive topic for him too just like it's for you…  so he will be okay hmm” Abhimaan tried to console the crying Rehana, who clutched on Abhimaan’ sherwani tightly and nodded.

Aditya and Heer smiled looking at them. They're reminding their old love.

“Hiya you show them the room…  Rehana must be hungry. Also she needs to take the medicines” Hiya nodded her head with a smile and Abhimaan left with Rehana.

“It's okay…  hmmm…  he will be fine, don't stress out” Abhimaan kept telling Rehana to not to worry and she listened carefully.

“Is everything okay with Rehana?” Heer asked Hiya, as Abhimaan mentioned about Rehana's medicine.

“Ohh.. I forgot to tell you Rehana is pregnant” Hiya said excitedly which brought a smile to everyone's lips.

~♥~

After reaching Divya's room Hiya dragged her mother inside leaving Aditya and Vihaan behind.

They hugged each other and smiled in each other's embrace. She never felt this happy in her entire life, the way she's feeling right now getting her mother back.

“She always missed you two so much,” Vihaan said, looking at Hiya's happy face. She was genuinely happy today.

“We too missed everyone here.”

“Don't worry everything will be better soon”

Aditya and Vihaan smiled at each other and went inside.

“You two must be tired too, go and take some rest” Heer caressed her daughter's face.

“I wanted to talk with you two” Hiya's face fall and Vihaan shook his head.

“They're back, Hiya. they're not going to leave you now…  you can spend hours talking with them from tomorrow.. Let them rest for a while.. Just few hours left for dawn”

“Yeah that's true.. Okay you two sleep now” Hiya agreed with Vihaan and left.

“Our daughter is in good hand Adi”

“Vihaan is such a gentleman, I just hope they always stay happy. But I am worried for Ayaan”

“Even I'm feeling the same.. The way he left, I'm scared”

“We will win everyone's heart Heer don't worry” Aditya hugged Heer and kissed her hairs.

“I don't know how Ankita and Aadarsh will react hearing everything”

“We've to fight now. They already fed Raunak lies. I've to find every proof”

“We'll find it together, don't worry. I know my Ron. He will never do any bad things. He is just angry right now”

~♥~

“ayaan” Ishani sat beside Ayaan on the floor. His head was buried between his knees.

“Ayaan” She called again, her lips getting dry, in fear. She was afraid of his anger. With shaking hands she held his arm when he lifted his head, and hugged her the next moment.

“Why did they come back, Ishani?”

“It's their home too”

“No.. It's not. They left all of us for the enemy's son 26 years ago. Why do they suddenly come back to us?”

“No matter what, they're still your parents.”

He came out from her embrace and cupped her cheeks.

“You will never leave me right? Like they did?”

Ishani shook her head and held his palms. “Never. You're my home Ayaan. I don't want to be homeless”

“They snatched Hiya from me today. What if they snatch you too? I'll be left alone, Ishani. Please don't leave me”

Ishani came close and hugged him. She placed his head near her heart and caressed his hairs.

Ayaan held her in his embrace and then pulled her over his lap. Tightening his hold around her back he buried his head more into her chest and took deep breaths.

“No one is going to separate us Ayaan. No one. Why are you getting scared? They're our family. Your parents and my in -laws.”

Ayaan was numb, he didn't want to say anything right now. He didn't even cry for once. Ishani could feel how heavy his heart was right now.

“Ayaan…  cry”

He shook his head. The last time he cried hard for his parents was when he was eight years old and some of his classmates insulted his parents knowing they're dead.

“Please Ayaan, cry. You will feel better”

“I don't want to”

“You have to pour your heart out Ayaan. Please cry”

Within some minutes she heard his muffled crying sound. His body was vibrating as he was crying, tightly holding her.

She let him cry his heart, and just caressed his back, until sleep took over her.

When Ayaan felt her hand movement stopped he raised his face and looked at her. She was sleeping with a beautiful smile on her lips.

He wiped his cheeks and then tucked the hair locks behind her ears.

“You're really my better half Ishani.” He picked her up and made her lay on the bed. Getting rid of the sherwani he too laid beside and pulled her close to his body. He needed her the most right now.

Sleep was far away from his eyes for the night. He kept thinking about everything and at least came to a conclusion.

“I know it'll be hard for us…  but I've to” He kissed her forehead and hid her face in his chest.

~♥~

“Are you okay now?” Abhimaan wiped Rehana's exhausted face with the towel and she nodded her head weakly. He picked her up in his arms and came out from the washroom.

Making her lay down on the bed. He covered her with the duvet.

After eating the food and medicine, Rehana went to vomit out everything. The day was really tirey for her.

“Sleep now okay”

“Abhi…”

“No more talks right now Rooh, you need to rest” Abhimaan put his finger on her lips and she stopped.

She was going to talk about Heer and Aditya but stopped as Abhimaan was looking exhausted too.

“Sleep Rooh sleep…  we're going back tomorrow, then I'll listen to your every word” Abhimaan kept caressing Rehana's hair and she slept in just a few minutes.

~♥~

“I'm so happy Vihaan. My mumma papa are alive. Can you believe it they're back!” While coming back to their room after bidding night to her parents, Hiya was jumping in happiness and Vihaan smiled at her.

Vihaan held her hand from behind and she stopped. Turning her head backwards she found Vihaan was smiling at her. She smiled back and the next moment her eyes widened at the sudden pull by him and she landed on his chest.

“I'm happy to see you happy” Vihaan caressed her cheekbone with his knuckles and she kissed his cheeks one by one.

“I'm so happy that they're back and sad for Divya. I don't know what she is doing now”

Vihaan hugged her, and she rested her head on his shoulder, while hands were locked around his back. His one hand was holding her head and another one holding her waist.

“Even I'm worried for her. The way Raunak behaved  today I'm really worried for Divya”

“She is so sensitive. You know Vihaan, she is not used to listening to harsh words but see what happened with her. Raunak literally played with her feelings. This girl's head over heels for him but at the end she got to know everything was a lie.”

“I was thinking of talking with Abhimaan about the matter so that he can go and bring Divya back from his home. Until he realises that what he did is not good for anyone.”

“Will you talk with bhaiya?” She asked, breaking the hug and he nodded his head positively.

“Let's go, take some rest..” Hand in hand they went inside their room.

~♥~

“Yes mom why would I lie to you” Siya made a pout when Aadya refused to believe her words that Aditya and Heer were alive and they came back.

“Soham.. My di and jiju are alive.. Did you listen to her?”

Soham got a hold of Aadya, who's crying and laughing at the same time.

“Yes I've listened to everything she said.”

“I want to meet them Soham”

“Mom…  I think we should meet them tomorrow morning after they come back to their villa” Rehan said and Soham smiled at him.

“Yes you're right Rehan. We will see them tomorrow Aadya don't worry”

~♥~

After coming to her new home with Mayank and Trisha. She got down from the car and looked at the house. She gulped, remembering the day when Raunak brought her here for the first time. She was missing him beside her.

“Come” Trisha hold Divya's hand and she started walking with her.

“Welcome to your new home chachi” Little Roop exclaimed happily and Divya picked him up.

“Are you happy?”

“Yes…  I'm so happy that you're finally here…  now we can play chess everyday”

Divya smiled at him but her eyes betrayed when she saw Raunak came down from the stairs and straight went to the kitchen. With a bottle of water he again went to his room, upstairs. Tears fell down from her eyes.

“everything will be okay.. Me and your bhaiya will try our best to talk with Raunak” Trisha said, hugging her from the side and Divya just smiled.

Trisha did the aarti and asked Divya to hit the kalas lightly, she did as she was asked to and then put her feet on the thal of milk and mahvar mixture.

“Welcome to our family” Mayank said which brings a little smile on Divya's smile.

“Come with me..” Trisha held Divya's hand and went upstairs to Raunak's room.
