"Aaira mumma ki to sunegi na? Maine aapko apni mumma ki baat bataye thi na? Ab aap apni mumma ko batao" Akshara said as she kisses her soft cheeks...

"Nahin! I won't, or else that shadow will kill you" Aaira said with a horror in her eyes, her hands were shaking....

"Which shadow princess?!" Abhi asks

"I won't tell you" Aaira said

"Batana to padega, papa ki princess ho na? Ab mujhe saare baat batao!"

"Nahi that shadow...." Aaira said

"Aaira! Leave the shadow, tell me the truth!" Abhi said

"Papa, I don't know that uncle aunty, when you were gone to take Abhir, then that shadow told me to do that.... That aunty is very scary!" Aaira sobs as Akshu hugs her and kisses over her forehead,

"Aaira, bacha you don't have to worry, now you told the truth to me, just tell the same truth to police, and just say everything true" Akshara said as she sticks Aaira with her

"Yes princess! A person should never be afraid if they're correct!" Abhi said "par yeh jo tumhare mumma ne kiya hai na, yeh hume jail pahaucha kar manegi!"

"Maine aisa bhi kya kar diya? Isko paise de denge, aur vaise bhi jail to koi aur hi jaane vala hai" Akshara said

Abhimanyu went inside with Aaira while Akshara keeps the lady constable on her bed,

Abhi hugs Abhir from one side and holds Aaira from another....

He looked at Abhir and then at Aaira,

"Princess, you're your papa's jaan, and please don't act like you don't love me, I can't stay without you!" Abhimanyu said

Aaira nods.

"Main pehle 🤡 uncle ke paas rehte thi...." Aaira said till then Akshu came "vo mujhe bahut mara karte thae, stick se, aur na vo mujhse bheek mangvate the, ek aunty ke saath mujhe bhej ke, aur raat ko saari money ko mujhse lekar mujhe ek dark room mein band kar dete the" Aaira said as Abhi sits, "aur vo dark shadow.... She used to hurt me.... Vo bhi bahut marti thi mujhe, main kya bahut gandi hu? Main to unko kuch kehti bhi nahi thi.... The day, I met you papa, uss din, that uncle hitted me and pushed me towards the wall, he was running behind me with a knife...."

Aaira was shaking as she was telling all this

"Kairav uncle.... Yeh bhi unn 🤡uncle ko pehle se jaante hain, aur Maya aunty unki wife bhi nahi hai" Aaira said

"Aaira! Itna kuch pata tha aapko, mumma ko bata kar to dekhti" Akshu said....

Abhi hugs Aaira and caresses her hairs....He was confused,

Akshu too was shocked with the revelation.... She looked at Abhir, and starts caressing his hairs,

"Kahi maine galat insaan ko acha nahin samajh liya" Akshara said looking at Abhir

"Lag to nahi hi raha" Abhimanyu said

They both looked into each other's eyes.... In horror....
