"I found it!" Aryan burst into the room.  

Shahana hid the file she was holding.

"Really?" she couldn't control her excitement.

Aryan inserted the pendrive in the laptop and played the video. It showed Alia creating the whole situation in the room to hoodwink Disha into believing that she and Purab were getting intimate. Aryan and Shahana had been putting in a lot of labour in collecting the proofs against Alia. It was more difficult than it seemed as the incident had happened more than 20yrs ago and the authorities were reluctant to give the audio and video clippings. Finally, they had found the last link that would help them expose Alia and bring Disha back.

"Let's show it to everyone." Aryan was in a hurry.

"Wait a minute." Shahana pulled him back. "We need to make maasi and dad speak out their feelings first."

"How are we going to do that?" he questioned.

"Why fear when Shahana is here." she said proudly and whispered the plan to Aryan.

"From where do you get these weird ideas?" he frowned.

"I saw it in movies. At least I always have a plan unlike you."

"This is real life not reel." he pointed.

"Is our family less dramatic than a family in the movies and serials in any respect?" she asked.

He had to accept that it was true. Sighing, he agreed to execute her crazy idea.

-----

Purab wondered when the clients would come as he sat. It had been half an hour past the time Shahana had mentioned.

After another five minutes of wait, he saw Disha crossing the road to come to the side he was in. He blessed his children for helping him unconsciously. Little did he know everything was going on according to their wish.

A black car appeared out of the blue, a pair of hands pulled Disha in it and vanished. All these happened in fraction of seconds.

Purab started panicking when he realized Disha had been kidnapped right in front of him.

"What should I do now?" he thought. "Police! Yes, I should contact the police."

The color faded from Aryan and Shahana's faces on the mention of police. If Purab called the police, their plan would dash in dirt.

"Do something and stop him." Shahana pushed Aryan our of their hiding place.

"Dad! Who are you calling?" Aryan snatched Purab's phone.

"Give it back. Disha got kidnapped. I need to inform the police." he panicked.

"Don't call themselves police!"

"Why?" Purab was confused at the odd behavior.

"The kidnappers may get angry and harm aunty. We ought to find her by ourselves." he reasoned.

"You are right." Purab nodded his head.

"You search her near the construction area at Ellen Street and I will try to find her in the other direction." Aryan instructed.

Purab had no time to wonder how Aryan knew the exact location where the kidnappers could have taken Disha. He just got into his car and set out to save his lady love.

He reached the place and searched for any traces of Disha. His eyes fell on a heart shaped pendant. He knew it'd well. He had gifted it to Disha on her birthday.

He proceeded towards the abandoned basement. He took each and every step cautiously.

Disha was tied to a chair. No one else was in view. Purab crept upto her and started untying the ropes.

"Purab ji! What are you doing here?" she was surprised.

"Obviously saving you." he said as if it was his daily job.

He freed her and they started escaping. Just as they were about to exit, the goons stopped their way.

"Look who's here. Romeo came to save his Juliet, but who will save him now?" the leader laughed.

Purab held Disha's hand tightly in his.

"Now you are done for. Any last minute wishes?" the leader brandished his gun.

"Disha, I'm happy we will die together." Purab smiled.

"Purab ji, this is my last opportunity to say that I love you. I still love you the way I used to earlier. I know Alia trapped you but I didn't want to hurt Aryan either. I couldn't come back to you. Please forgive me." she cried.

"None of us were wrong or guilty. Both of us were forced by circumstances. At least, we will leave this earth together. We couldn't stay together in this birth, may be we will be more fortunate in the next one." he hugged her.

The goons pressed the triggers of their guns. Purab and Disha closed their eyes.

POP!

Instead of bullets, confetti showered on them. They opened their eyes and were surprised to see the goons clapping. Two of them even looked like Aryan and Shahana.

Wait, what? Their minds registered that they were their children themselves.

"Congratulations for your reconciliation! We are so happy for you." they gushed.

"Purab ji, you arranged this drama to make me confess!" Disha glared at him.

"This time it's not me.  I think they did it." a scared Purab pointed at Arhana who grinned sheepishly.

"Aren't you angry or sad?" Disha's question was directed at Aryan.

"Not at all. Dad and you have sacrificed so much in life for my happiness. It was duty to share some with you. I might have felt bad if mom had cared even a bit for me but her first priority had always been Rhea. I believe that criminals must be punished regardless of if they are our family." he replied.

Purab and Disha felt proud of him. Not everyone could be so reasonable and strong at such a young age.

"We have all the evidences that would surely land her in jail and the good news is that dad won't even need a divorce as they were never married." Shahana added.

"Aryan, you have done a lot for me. Can I ask for a thing more?" Disha enquired.

"I will try my best to give it to you." 

"Will you be my son? I got my husband back but there is still a void left in my heart which a son can only fill." she said emotionally.

"Sunny......Is he......he......" Purab feared the worst.

"Yes, he is no more. After a few months when I left you, I discovered that I was pregnant once again. One day, when I was going for my regular check up with Sunny, we had an accident. I survived but both Sunny and our unborn child left me forever." Disha cried miserably as she remembered that painful incident. 

"Maasi, I think the unborn child was saved." Shahana said in a whisper.

Disha and Purab stared at her through misty eyes. They, specially Disha couldn't believe the words.

"He is standing right before you." Shahana pulled Aryan to the centre.

"Shahana, I told you earlier, your theory has loopholes." Aryan tried to explain.

"I wouldn't have made such a serious assertion for nothing. Have a look at this." she forwarded the file she was holding in the morning.

Aryan's eyes widened more and more as he read it. "How's this possible?"

"What's written in it?" Purab couldn't control his curiosity.

"It's......It's my DNA report which says I'm yours......yours and Disha aunty's son." Aryan informed.

Everyone turned to Shahana for an explanation.

"When maasi had an accident, the unborn child, I mean Aryan was not injured. Alia aunty bribed the doctor and implanted the embryo in her womb and he informed maasi that the child was dead. This is the reason she appeared to be pregnant in everyone's eyes." 

"ALIA!" Purab raged.
