om's POV:

she took me to a white palace and there my heart started to beat fast.

that white palace was the place where they all lived.

that white palace was the place where i was disowned.

i can't enter that building. 

i can't bear the thought of my own children hating me.

i can't stand shivay and rudy hating me.

and my mum...

the one who was always there in my darkest times before gauri entered.

the one who supported me over her so called husband.

that woman known as my mother hates me a lot.

she cursed her own womb for carrying me.

i couldn't stand all this pain. i can't enter that palace. i can't bear the pain.

POV ends.

gauri: omkaraji, what happened?

om: i can't enter this place.

gauri: i know you are scared omkaraji but are you going to let your fear control you? i know you have feared this for 3 years but you have to face your fear.

om: gauri, i am really scared. i only got three people by my side and one is my daughter. if she gets to know the truth....

he held her hands and continued you know gauri, i always had nightmares of munni hating me because of the truth. if munni gets to know the truth then i will kill myself.

gauri was shocked hearing what she heard.

gauri: OMKARAJI! don't say like this. munni will never know the truth from them because what they think is the truth, that isn't the truth and munni is so small at the moment. she won't understand.

om just allowed tears to roll down his cheeks. gauri kissed each of his cheeks, wiped his tears and said: fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. if we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay.

om kissed her hands and said: what did i ever do to get you?

gauri just hugged him and said: you got me because you have a good heart. now time to face your fear. 

she broke the hug and om held one of her hands as they entered the house.

om's POV:

with slow steps, i entered my home once again. my heartbeats were faint. i took a deep breath and remembered what gauri said.

i had to face my fear.

as we entered, a loud bang was heard. i turned to see my mother with her jaw dropped and the pooja plate on the floor.

POV ends.

om: mum...

before he could say anything else, he was slapped by jhanvi.

jhanvi: so here is my husband's murderer. haven't you done enough harm already? and DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME 'MUM'!!! YEH MAAT BULO KI I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER ANYMORE!!! 

gauri: maaji, why are you yelling at him? he had did nothing wrong.

jhanvi: have some shame gauri. have some shame! you support a murderer over everyone else. he is your father in law's murderer.

gauri: he isn't! 

voices: oh really?

the three saw mishti and vyom with their arms folded and anger in their eyes. they crossed the line forgetting everything and faced their father.

mishti: welcome home murderer.

vyom: now the evil eye is back.

gauri: vyom, mishti, don't insult your father! is this what i taught you?!

voices: why shouldn't they?

those voices belonged to shivru. anivya were behind them. shivru came in front of rikara, anger clearly visible.

shivay: shouldn't you be dead by now?

gauri: what are you saying shivay? 

rudy: all murderers die eventually. he should have been given a death sentence.

gauri: you all have no shame! maaji, you curse your womb for carrying omkaraji. mishti and vyom, you both have no respect for the man who raised you with love only! shivay and rudra, you too wish for your brother, the one who has always been there for you in your darkest moments, to be dead?! 

dadi came in and said: yes we wish for him to be dead. he killed my son.

gauri: dadi, you too? 

om's head was down in shame. he wanted to say something but he couldn't. he was silently bearing the pain in his heart.

vyom: mum, divorce him! he doesn't deserve you! you are too good for this murderer! and remarry someone who doesn't kill people! how many people have you kill mr oberoi?!

gauri couldn't bear this behavior of her son. she raised her hand and a slap was heard. the slap was as loud as a clap and stung vyom's face. It had been an open-handed smack and it had left a red welt behind. 

vyom had pain and anger in his eyes. all was shocked.

om: gauri, why did you slap him?!

gauri: because i can't tolerate this behavior! VYOM, NEXT TIME YOU SAY SHIT LIKE THIS, THEN THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE WORSE!! MISHTI, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T INSULT YOUR FATHER SO BADLY THAT I MAY HAVE TO SLAP YOU!

and with that she left with om.
