Recap: Nandana sending their photographs - Truth is Out - Siblings angry for hiding truth- Vaigha leaving.

3 Weeks Later:
A new morning. Devansh Bhavan is silent. No more alarm rings, noises, twin fights... nothing. It's been 3 weeks their house became silent. It's more like the whole house is dead. Kitchen is empty even after 7 am. There is no one ready to cook there. Newspaper is laying freely outside the home. No one is there to read it.

Anjali slowly woke up from sleep. Her face is pale and she is very weak. She didnt want to open her eyes too. But she managed to got up from bed. She felt a void beside her. The space is still vacant waiting for someone. She saw Sanju and Krithika sleeping at a distance.

"Sanju, wake up.. Krithika. It's 7 am..come on. Wake up dear."she called both of them alternately. But there is no response from them. Sanju is more like a lazy bird now a days. She stopped drawing. She stopped talking with people. Her little world of happiness suddenly shattered on a day. People around her starts feeling like she is mute for the very first time.
Everyone knows the reason. But no one can accept it.

"Krithika, you have exam today. Did you forget?" Anjali asked.
"I am not writing. Let's try next time."Krithika replied still half sleeping.
"Dont say like this. You are again wasting your one year."Anjali scolded.
"No one is here now to compel me for studying, no one forces me to write exam..Bhai also forgot us..I am not going."Krithika said
"Do what you wants."Anjali said angrily and left the room in frustration hearing her words.

She entered into twins room and saw them still sleeping. She called both of them.
"Let me sleep. Dont say me to go office today as usual. I am not. If bhai is not caring about his hardwork and earnings, why should I?" Arjun already made it clear. She didnt expect more than that. She sighed.

She called Amar. He slowly opened his eyes.
"When did you come last night?"she asked.
"It's been 2 am. There was a lot of meetings and urgent jobs to be finished."Amar said in a tired tone.
"Sorry Amar. We know how much you are working now a days. What to do? Noone is here to look after all this if it's not you."Anjali said caressing his hair.
"I can understand. But I was also fed up Didi. Only because you said to not destroy Bhai's long time hardwork, I am managing all this. But I can't do anything like him. Already everything is in a mess. When will our bhai come back to normal life? Can I call back Vaigha?" Amar asked.

Anjali glared at him and stood up to go. But Amar held his hand to stop her.

"Tell me honestly. Dont you miss her? After she left, we lost all our happiness. Sanjana was not talking to anyone. Krithika was fighting with everyone to show her frustration. Arjun entirely became another person. He is not even fighting with me. And you can see what bhai is doing to himself. Our home lost all its life. Whenever she was here, every moment was special for us. She was taking care of us like her own children. Now we all are missing her." Amar said sadly.

"I am not missing her and I dont want her back too. Cheaters have no place in our life."Anjali said angrily.

"Didn't uncle and aunty tell us what happened exactly? It was our mistake too. We didn't consider bhai's feelings."he said.

"This love and everything is a trap. I can't believe her easily after what she did to us. Did you forget everything that happened a few years ago? I don't want to repeat anything now. Let her be where she is now."she turned to leave.

"I enquired about her yesterday too."Amar said loudly.
Anjali stopped at the door only to hear the remaining part. A head raised from the blanket and it's Arjun only. Amar became silent watching his sister's reaction. She didnt move away. Instead she concentrated on what Amar is going to say.

"Arey open your mouth idiot. Tell me how she is. Is she ok?"Arjun asked losing patience.
"She is fine at the orphanage. Uncle and Aunty used to invite her to their home. But she is stubborn to live there. But she is fine there. Uncle did all arrangements there to make her comfortable." Amar said and Anjali thanked god in her mind.

"Poor girl. If we call her, may be she will come back." Amar said and Anjali's face changed.

"If she is so stubborn, let her stay there. She is not thinking about us, but atleast she can think about Sanju and bhai. Her love is all fake. That's why she is doing all this. Seriously what she is trying to prove?"Anjali said and Arjun again vanished under the blanket. He don't want to hear anything more about Vaigha.

"She will only come back if we call her back together. No one can change her decision."Amar said.
But Anjali already left the room. She reached the kitchen and started thinking. She felt lonely in the kitchen. She dont want to cook anything too. She was missing someone badly who was the only companion for her there. But her mind didn't let her accept that.

Vaibhav's Room
The room is entirely a mess as if someone did a robbery attempt there. Things are thrown here and there with no order and cleanliness. On the middle of the room, a bed is placed with someone sleeping deeply. His heavy breathes are the only sign that someone is still using that room.

Vaibhav turned the sides inhaling deeply. When did he sleep last night? He also don't remember. He changed completely after Vaigha left. He became lazy and stopped going to office. As per the promise given to Vaigha, he was not angry with his brothers and sisters. But their talks reduced gradually. Even if he talk with them, it's just for the sake of replying their questions. He lost all interest in business and his life too. Vaibhav became another person whom no one can identify now. In his absence, Amar took care of all their business. But he didn't care for all this.

His phone beeped suddenly and he got up from bed immediately. Within a second, the phone is in his hand. He opened the message.

Good morning. Take care of yourself and our family.

He read the message and a tear drop find its place in the corner of his eyes. For past three weeks, this is his only communication with his wife. She send messages some times. Even if he try to call her, she won't attend or speak with him. He couldn't go to meet her since he already promised her that he won't come. He wanted to meet her and missing her badly. But fate was against them.

Take care Mrs. Come back fast. Our home is waiting for you.

He typed the reply message and sent it. He asked uncle and aunty to take care of her eventhough she didn't agree to go to their home. With his insistence, uncle had arranged everything for her in the orphanage. Eventhough their bodies are at distance, their hearts are still together.

He was thinking about her placing the mobile on his chest when the door opened. Anjali came inside with a plate in her hands. He saw her and just smiled lifelessly. She returned the same smile. She couldn't handle seeing his brother in this condition. He was looking pale and his body is tired. He had grown a long beard as a part of stop taking care of himself. He was not looking after his health, family and business.

Only thing which he used to spend time is thinking about his wife. Cherishing his beautiful moments with Vaigha.

"Bhai, here is your breakfast."she said placing the plate on the table.
"Hm.."he just nodded.
"Dont forget to eat like yesterday."she said and he again nodded.
She felt bad. She sat beside him on bed.
"Why are you not asking about the others? Dont you want to eat along with us like we do earlier? Why are you not coming outside bhai? Can't you see how much we all are tensing for you?"she said.

"Next time when I eat along with you, my wife would be also with me."he said.

"If we bring her back, will you be normal?"she asked
"Dont bring her back for me. I can't see her crying anymore. If you can forgive us honestly, then only she will come back. Not for me. If you really think that we didn't cheat anyone intentionally, if you can realize that her love for you was genuine, if you are sure that she haven't lie to make you fools, then bring her back."he said.
She stood up and left the room.
He didn't look back at her. Instead again opened his inbox to read the messages again and again.

Take care Mrs. Come back fast. Our home is waiting for you.

Vaigha read her husband's message for the Nth time. She didnt even gets satisfied. She read it again and again. She was smiling with tears in her eyes seeing the word Mrs. She really misses him. His voice, his touches, his care, the way he is calling her his Mrs, their romantic moments. Everything she is missing badly. She knows that he will be also in same condition. Her only prayer to God is to give Vaibhav all strength to survive the most difficult stage of their life. She feels guilty for not being with him when he is going through all. But she can't do anything. Her condition is worst.

Uncle and Aunty visits her daily. She is happy for seeing them. Currently they are her only relaxation. From them she used to know about her husband and family. But uncle and aunty hided the real truth from her to not hurt her since Vaibhav strictly order them. She thought that everything is ok between him and his siblings. Uncle and Aunty always ask her to come with them. But she was so stubborn to stay there. She didnt want another problem because of her. Already Kishore left because of her eventhough she was innocent. Now no one knows where he is. She is guilty for that. But uncle and aunty is more tensed for Vaibhav now. She also knows that. But she don't want to be a burden for anyone anymore. She decided to stay away from all for the same reason.

"Vaigha... Come for breakfast. It's ready. "She heard her friend's voice and quickly stood up. She fixed a smile on her face.
"Coming."she replied.
"Are you going out today? Because I can't come with you. I have exam."her friend Ananya said. She is her old companion in the orphanage.
"Its ok. I can manage alone. It's just a small shopping to buy some essential commodities." She said while walking with her friend towards mess.
"But Vaigha. I think you should wait for me. Definitely we can go tomorrow."Ananya said with concern.
"Why? Do you think I am a kid?"she asked
"Definitely not. But your uncle strictly ordered me to accompany you wherever you go."
"Dont worry. I will return back before evening."Vaigha assured finally making her friend agree.

She sat on one of the chair after taking a plate. The servant served her breakfast and Vaigha couldn't control seeing it. It was Vaibhav's favourite breakfast. Idli and chutney (south indian food). Vaigha remembered about her husband. How she used to prepare his favourite dishes, How he used to feed her without his siblings notice, their outings without anyone's knowledge.... Every moments with her husband gradually occupied her mind and she lost all her hunger. She stood up without even having a single morsel.

"What happened Vaigha?"Ananya enquired.
"I don't feel to eat. I will be in room."she walked away faster.

Vaigha's PoV
It's almost evening and I am still at the shopping mall. Dont know why I am searching for the same thing in the same shop even after the shopkeeper informed me that there are no more stock available. It's been many hours I entered this shop and still I am searching like a mad woman. I saw the salesman looking at me with big eyes. Oh god. What happened to me? Where are you Vaigha?

I was feeling very lazy and my concentration was at somewhere else. No wonder why I am behaving madly. I took the things that I have purchased earlier and quickly got out of the shop. I saw an ice cream parlour at nearby stall. I remembered how I used to come here with Vaibhav to have my favourite ice cream. Vaibhav don't like ice creams. But I always force him to eat and he gave up for me after so many tries. His expression after taking the cold ice cream in his mouth is worth watching. How much I love to irritate him? Did I ever enjoy like I do with him?

His memories paved way for my tears. I looked around and saw people here and there. I quickly wiped my face and walked to escape from all this. That's when I collided with a man who was walking in hurry while talking in phone. I didn't see his face. Before that the packets in my hand fell down on floor. I took it back and stood up.

"Sorry brother. I didnt see u coming. I am extremely sorry" I apologized to him and his revealed face gave me the biggest shock. Yes, he is my brother himself. The person from whom I was trying to escape for the past many years. The person from which I was hiding till now. My brother from another mother & father whom I hate the most.

"Vaigha....???" his face showed all shocked expressions that I have been expecting.

"Arun..."I called accidentally.
Arun Shenai. The name is enough to give me shivers. I was shocked seeing him at the most unexpected time. I was trying to hide from my family and today he saw me.

"Where were you hiding you little bi**ch?"he shouted gathering almost everyone's attention towards us. I sensed the danger. Without thinking more, I started running with all my energy.

"Stop there. You can't escape from me anymore."he yelled while following me.

I quickly entered into the lift and it closed immediately after I get in. Thank God. I took deep breathe. I am sure he might be coming through escalator or staircase. Everything is gonna end today. I cant save myself anymore. The thought of facing my dad after many years made me shiver. He will surely kill me. They can do anything. No matter whether I am their daughter or sister or stranger. I was sweating uncontrollably. And suddenly the lift door opened to reveal the ground floor. I came out and watched the surroundings. He was nowhere to be found. But I know he will reach soon. I ran out from the mall. I saw him coming through staircase. Before he see me, I took a taxi.

I closed my eyes entering into it. I don't want to open my eyes. The imagination of what is gonna happen next making me scare. I am now all alone. I can't hide anymore. Surely he will find me soon through all his influences and contacts. And what will be my fate after that.

Vaibhav...Can we meet again? Or we are gonna separate forever. I love you Vaibhav..Pls save me. I wanted to live my entire life with you. But now?

I cried closing my mouth with the end of my saree. When the taxi reached the orphanage, I quickly entered out after paying the driver. Without turning back I ran inside. I am afraid to turn back. What if he was following me? What if he found my shelter? Oh god. Pls save me.

Last thing I remember is getting inside my room in high speed closing the door behind me. Next moment my vision became blurred and I collapsed into someone's arms.
