Next morning

"You are absolutely fine now. Your vitals are normal. So you are good to go ,Mr. Sehgal." The doctor said after checking Parthiv for the last time.

"But you need to be careful..Don't stress much and also do a check up after a week." The doctor instructed him.

"No issues doctor, we have doctors at home so it won't be an issue." Seeing the confused gaze of the doctor, Parthiv continued, "My wife is a doctor and I am as well..so it won't be a problem."

The doctor looked surprised and looked at Sadhika who was sitting on the tool beside the bed.Niyati was standing beside her.

Soon composing himself he said, " Oh, that's wonderful. Then it's perfectly alright. "

"Thank you doctor." Parthiv and Sadhika said and the doctor turned around to leave.

The doctor reached at the door and stopped. Turning around he looked at Niyati who was now helping her father to get down from the bed. From the last night till now he was seeing her in the same bridal attire which made him understand two things – either maybe her groom ran away so her father got ill, or maybe some mishap had happened which made her father land on the hospital bed like this.
Shaking his head, he left the cabin.

Last night Niyati and Sadhika stayed in the hospital. Saanvika, Sanjay and Himanshu stayed in a nearby hotel. They didn't have any dresses with them so everyone was in the same dress which did nothing but make them remember the nightmare they faced last night.

After completing the formalities, they left the hospital premises. Sanjay was already waiting with their car in which they brought Parthiv last night in the hospital.

Holding Parthiv on both sides , Niyati and Sadhika were walking towards the car when they stopped abruptly.

"Niyati, why did you guys stop..we a….." Saanvika was saying but stopped abruptly when her eyes fell on the reason because of which Niyati stopped as well.

There Sathvik was standing behind their car.

As he spotted Parthiv , he walked towards him and stood in front of him. Sanjay was about to stop him but Himanshu held his hand as he didn't want any more problems and disturbance which might affect his brother.

"Hello, Uncle. I know..I know that my sorry won't change anything but I am really sorry for everything my family did to your family…especially you and Niyati. I am very ashamed of whatever happened.
I know that maybe you don't want to see anyone from my family including me but trust me Uncle, I wasn't in peace from the moment everything happened and you had fallen ill.
I just want to ask for your forgiveness..yours, aunty's and Niyati's …I know it's not possible for you both to forgive us…but still I felt that I should..
Get well soon ,Uncle.
And Niyati, I don't know what to say to you but don't ruin your life for whatever shit Avyaan had done..Don't stop living your life the way you want to." Sathvik said to them.

Whole the time everyone was looking at him except Niyati who was looking down but when Sathvik said the last line to her, a tear slipped from her eyes due to pain.

Without waiting for any reply, Sathvik left from there leaving a stunned audience behind.

"Parthiv , my bachcha (child)"

As soon as Parthiv entered Sehgal house, Ira rushed towards him to hug her son.

"Are you okay? Do you know how scared we were?" She said while crying and hugged him.

" I am fine ,Mom ..don't worry." Parthiv said, patting her back.

"What is this girl doing here?" Ira said in anger and distaste as soon as her eyes fell on Niyati who was entering the house along with Saanvika. Others also followed behind them.

Everyone saw  how devastating Niyati was looking.

Parthiv's eyes followed his mother's gaze. He frowned and said, "What do you mean by that ? She is my daughter…she would be here only."

"No …she won't be here. Didn't you see what she was doing behind our back? Our image , our prestige, everything got destroyed today just because of her…in fact you got ill as well…everything happened just because of her. She is a bad omen. Still you want to let her stay in this house !!!" Ira said.

" Ira, Stop it. " Tejraaj said sternly in order to shut his wife's mouth.

Niyati was listening to everything looking down.

Before Parthiv and Sadhika could say something,  Ira again started ,

"First she trapped the rich man…that didn't satisfy her so she started to whore around with different men that also publicly. She is just like her mother…"

"MOM…THAT'S ENOUGH."

Parthiv's shout stopped Ira abruptly who jumped in her place.

" The women you are talking about are my wife and my daughter and they are the purest souls I have ever met. I trust them with everything .
So think before you speak…Nobody has given you the right to insult them ." Parthiv said in anger.

Sadhika and Niyati are the most important part of his life and he will never tolerate somebody insulting them.

"Niyati, go to your room , Sadhika, you also and take a rest and if anyone has any problem with my daughter being in her own house, they can leave." He said sternly.

Sadhika was about to hold Niyati's hand to take her towards her room but stopped in her place when Niyati showed her palm in order to stop her. Saanvika was also stopped by her.

They saw how Niyati walked towards her room without a word like a lifeless doll.

" Parthiv Bhai is right…it's Niyati's house so she will be here. We know our daughter more than anyone else and we trust her." Shefali said and her husband nodded.

" Yes and Maa ji , please at least have a sense of time and place about what you are speaking and about whom. Please keep your baseless opinion to you only. I won't tolerate anyone insulting my daughter in her own house." Sadhika said to Ira in anger. Ira huffed in anger and left from there to her room in anger.

"I am sorry, beta." Tejraj apologised to Parthiv and Sadhika and left behind his wife.

Sadhika took Parthiv to their room and everyone went back to their rooms.

Entering her room , Niyati walked towards the shower.

Peeling off her bridal lehenga, she stood under the shower and turned on the faucet.

Water started to pour on her, making her wet. As her eyes went on her Chooda and Kalire, the events and insulting words of last night came to her mind.

Screaming in pain she broke the chooda and fell on the floor with a thud on her knees.
She broke down remembering everything.

The tears of pain got mixed with the water of the shower and the heart wrenching sounds of her crying got lost in the sounds of the shower.

The tears of pain and the pain of betrayal.

She rubbed her chest to vanish the pain she was feeling .

But unfortunately the pain didn't cease.

Here you go.
