"After she died ,I realised something.  I realised that I was just a replacement for her. 

Because after she died,  My parents suddenly started to talk to me ,realizing that they had another daughter as well. They started to behave better as soon as I accepted to marry Deep for Disha because Disha is the last sign of their deceased favourite daughter, Lekha. As I was assigned to take care of her, they decided to talk to me  , show good behaviour to me because I was going to take care of Lekha's child , Disha. I love Disha with everything and only for her sake I married Deep.

In fact the same case was with Deep's parents as well. They cursed me ,bad mouthed me for leaving their son at the wedding mandap but as soon as I agreed to marry for Disha's sake ,I became their favourite daughter in law.

I don't blame them because when my own parents can be like this.
why can't Deep's parents?" Kahani said, wiping her tears.
 
Everyone --- Her parents,Deep ,Deep's parents looked down feeling ashamed because whatever she said was true.

"No no...don't need to be ashamed.  I didn't try to guilt trip anyone. I just let out everything which was in my heart." Kahani said.

"I did a heinous crime by killing my sister, by snatching someone's wife, someone's daughter and Disha's mother. I also can't deny the fact that I felt satisfied when I saw her dead.

 I know that I won't be forgiven. But still for my own sake , I  am asking for you guys forgiveness for the first and last time. " Kahani said in an emotionless voice.

She walked towards her mother-in-law who was holding a sleeping Disha in her arms. 
She bent down and kissed her lightly on her forehead. 
"Bye Dishu. Stay happy and God bless you. Maybe we won't meet again, maybe nobody will tell you about me and maybe you will forget me as well but that won't decrease my love for you ever. I love you the most and always will love you. " She said as tears rolled down her cheeks. 

Then She walked towards the Police officer Mr. Singh who was silently listening to everything with his team.

"Arrest me." She said, forwarding her hand towards him.

The police officer looked at her intently and told her to follow him.

Raichand's family and Trivedi's family looked on as Kahani went out of the house with the Police.

Mr. Singh who is in charge of this case was sitting in his room ,feeling restless after hearing the confession from Kahani's mouth.

Hearing her, he understood that Kahani was suffering from mental illness. A neglected childhood, lack of attention,  a constant void in her life and feeling used caused a deep damage in her mind and soul. He could see that she wasn't a born criminal, her circumstances made her like that. 

Though there should be no excuses for the heinous crime she committed, he still feels that her surroundings were also the reason for the crime she committed. 

She immediately needs psychological treatment because she has her full life ahead of her which she could lead after getting cured and serving the punishment which law would give her.

He decided what he had to do. With the thought in his mind,he slept .
.
.
.
Next day he reached the police station and decided to talk to her.

"Hello Mrs Kahani, " He greeted her .

Kahani looked up and said ,"It's Miss Kahani. " 

"Kahani, so whatever you said yesterday, it was true, I know. But I want to know ,what were you thinking when your mind was thinking about killing your sister?" Mr. Singh asked her without beating around the bush.

"Why should I tell you that? I killed her, I confessed the crime. Now punish me and finish the story." Kahani said emotionlessly.

"See Kahani, it's not my job... in fact I shouldn't sympathize with a criminal but you are different. I know how it is felt to be left alone when you have everyone around you.
Some people need extra care ,extra attention, a verbalized emotion  to make them feel wanted and it's absolutely alright. Your parents also love you but they didn't understand that you also need attention, maybe they thought  that you don't need a verbalized emotion as you are an introvert. 

I know you have lots of things within you, so please share those….let them out. 

You don't have to be afraid of being judged because I am a stranger and as a stranger I won't judge you.

You are a new book and I am a reader. So how will I judge you before reading you?" Mr. Singh said .

Kahani looked at him. Something was there in him which made her feel at ease, which urged her to open herself to him. It may free her from the restlessness, frustration she had been feeling for years.

"You know, I always loved my sister.  My parents treated us differently but still I love them as well. 

But the moment the wedding drama happened , I realized that my sister was the meanest creature on this earth. My hate replaced my love.

Yes I was sad that I didn't get to marry my love but I was furious with the fact that my sister maligned my character for her own benefit, Deep also remained silent because he also wanted their marriage despite knowing that it was my sister who replaced me deliberately. 

They could have told me, I wouldn't have come in between them . But they chose to cheat me, betray me and make me a joker and characterless in front of everyone. 

Because of Lekha, my relationship with my parents which was already not so good became broken. I hated her for that.

The day before her murder only one thing was running in my mind ,"To get rid of the main problem of my life. " . 

And...and….I…." Saying this, Kahani broke down.

Mr. Singh gave her time to control herself. 

"But the frustration, guilt, and suicidal thoughts I faced after that were Terrible  …...they are still there within me. I just want to get rid of that. 

I really love Disha but see,  I would never go in front of her after the sin I committed…..I lost everything….everything. " Kahani cried her heart out.
