Recap: Vaigha in Kishore's custody - Vaibhav saving her

Two cars parked infront of Devansh Bhavan. From the first car Vaibhav and Vaigha got out. Her hand in his hand. He helped her to walk.

From the other car Uncle,aunty and the twins got out. They all are coming after admitting Kishore to the hospital. Sanjana, Anjali and Krithika were already present in the courtyard waiting for them. They had a worried expression.

Sanjana rushed towards Vaigha and hugged her on seeing. Vaigha kissed her forehead.
"Are you ok Sanju?"she asked and Sanju nodded smilingly.

Vaibhav held her hand and moved infront of Anjali and his remaining siblings. They looked at the couple in wonder.

"We did big mistakes to you. Unforgivable mistakes according to you all. But she is not alone. It's me too. I was the reason why she hided all this from you. If you still hate her, then hate me too. If you can't accept her as your bhabhi, then don't accept me as your brother too. If you still want to punish her, then punish me too. Let it be fair. Punish us both. Not her only."He said.

"Bhai, let's talk it after getting inside. Why do we have to discuss all this in courtyard?"Arjun asked with a smile of hope.

"When she left this house, no one was there to stop her or invite her inside.
Everyone just forgot how much love she gave to you. She cared for you all, did everything for you. She had the option to go when you guys were busy to find an alliance for her husband, she could have tell the truth to everyone. But she didn't since she respects me and loves me. She bear everything for me. She left me not because she dont love me. It's because she loves me more than anyone in this world.. more than anything.. She was ready to sacrifice her happiness for my peace. If it is not love, then what is love?
If you still feel her love as fake, then believe that my love was also fake.
If she deserves to be away from you, then I also don't deserve you.
Finally I decided it. Even if it's to get inside or leave, we will be together only."he said making his point clear.

"Vaibhav.."she called confusingly.
He tightened his hold on her hand.

"If they still can't believe me, it's better I go. Because no one can force anyone to love or believe us unless they feel it themselves."she said but he stopped her.

"Stop. You are not going anywhere without me. Who are you to decide everything alone? This is for my baby and I have equal rights. When our baby's father is here, you don't need to live like an orphan. Understand?" He said seriously making her smile.

"Anjali. My wife was not responsible for your fate. She dont have any connection with Arun like you all think. She left her own family for the same issue. If it was not me who should be with her. She is also suffering because of Arun just like you. Tell me should I allow her to go?"he said looking at Anjali who returned a pained expression.

"If you all still want her to go away from our lives, what about your brother's baby? Should I allow my baby also to suffer for my mistakes?" He asked. But didn't get any response.

He sighed.
"May be you don't want her. But I can't leave her alone. She is carrying my baby. I was there for you whenever you needed me. Now my wife and baby needs me. I am also going with her. I am doing what I am feeling right. "he declared.

He looked at his brothers and sisters who were looking at each other.
"Vaigha let's go."he said to her.
Suddenly Sanjana blocked them and hugged them.

She gestured them to not go. They smiled at her.
"Sanju. We won't go. But it should be not only you. My brothers and sisters should say it together from their heart."he said looking at them.

"Bhabhi. Bhai. You both are not going anywhere. This is bhai's house and it's all his hardwork. We are not anyone to invite you to your own house. Your baby should grow here. Like we all grew. Not in some orphanage" Amar said firmly stopping them.

"We know whatever we did were blunders. Please forgive all. We won't repeat it anymore. Pls bhabhi. Please come. It's your house. We don't have any right. If you want we are ready to go. But we won't allow you to go."Arjun said to Vaigha.

"We are going not to punish you. But I want to return my husband his old family. I don't want him to loose anything because of me. Even if I stay here the old happiness won't return back. For that everyone should accept me. Without anyone's force. Otherwise it's not a family. I can't stay here only for the sake of living with my husband."Vaigha said looking at Anjali and Krithika.

Krithika came to her.

"We don't hate you anymore. We understood that our thoughts on you were completely wrong."Krithika said holding Vaigha's hand.

Vaibhav smiled seeing everyone coming one by one.

"We thought that you married bhai for his money. Because we had a bad past. When we realized that you were hiding your identity, its confirmed. And knowing about Arun. Everything goes out of our hand. But after getting to know from Sanju how you saved her ready to sacrifice yourself and baby, we understood that we were wrong. The way you protected bhai from Kishore bhai, no one would do that. We are sorry. Without you there is no happiness in this house. For past three weeks we didn't smile for once eventhough we were together like the earlier days. Only you can return back our home. Our happiness, peace and everything. Pls don't go. "Krithika cried making everyone surprise.

"Bhai you haven't done any mistake. You loved everyone. That's not wrong. It was our mistake to not realize it. You didn't live for you a single day. Then also we didn't think about your happiness. Please forgive us"Arjun hugged Vaibhav. He consoled his brother.

"Vaibhav. Can't you see your siblings begging you? Go inside along with Vaigha."Uncle told to him.

He looked at Anjali who was not responding. She was about to say something when a car horn is heard. They turned back to see a man in his late 60's came out.

Vaigha was shocked seeing him.

"Dad.."she called in a low tone.
She was scared and hid behind Vaibhav.

He became alert.

The man came infront of her and glared at her.
"What are you doing here Vaigha with our enemy's family? You made your brother arrest. Are you my daughter?" Vaigha's dad raised his hand to slap her. But Vaibhav blocked it.

"Dont touch her. I won't allow anyone to hurt her. You have no right on her now. She is mine. My wife."he shouted holding her close to him to make her comfortable.

Her dad looked at her in wonder.
"It took a lot of years for you to finally search for your own daughter. Why are you asking her whether she is your daughter? Instead answer her whether you are her father?" Uncle asked to his old friend.

"SathyaPratap..."her dad called in shock. He didn't expect his old friend here.
"Why did you come now? Your new family made her an orphan. You forgot her completely. She lost all happiness because of your new wife and her son. Let her live her life now."SathyaPratap asked angrily.

"Letting her live with this people. Not possible."Her dad said.
"Who are you to tell that? Its me who would decide where I will live and with whom. What's your right on me? Did you enquire till now whether I am alive or not? Why did you come now? To once again destroy my happiness? "Vaigha came forward confidently.

"Vaigha. I am your dad. Dont forget that while talking to me." He replied.

"Dad?? Do you know the meaning of that word? Did you ever love me after getting a new family? Did you try to understand me? Did you ever spend some time for me when you were busy in making money with your son? How can you be my dad? You didn't ever think that I am your own blood and he is not your son. You didn't trust me. You didn't give anything to me as a dad. I lived the life of an orphan for many years because of you. Now I got a family. Dont come to make me lose that."she requested joining her hands.

"Do you believing this man?" Her dad asked pointing at Vaibhav.
"He is not loving you. He married you just to take revenge for his sister. Mark my words. He will dump you at right time. You have to suffer after that."

Vaigha showed her hand to stop.
"Stop. Dont say anything more about my husband."she shouted at the top of her voice.
For a moment her dad scared seeing her rage.
"I don't need anyone's certificate to understand Vaibhav. Especially from you. I trust him more than me. Dont try to blame my husband who is ready to leave his own family for me to cover your mistakes. You don't have any right to talk about him."she was very angry.

Vaibhav cupped her face.
"Relax Vaigha. Just relax."he made her calm. He moved to her dad.

"Sir, she is no more your daughter. It all ended when she left your house. She is now my wife. And this is her family. And we are gonna have our baby soon. She dont need anymore relationships."he said looking at him.

"Your son Arun kidnapped her for her share in your properties. Do you know that?"he asked making her dad shocked.
"He exchanged her to my brother. All for money. Tell me how he will become her brother?"Vaibhav asked and her dad stood with a guilty face.

"Instead of wasting time for your daughter whom you didn't care for till now, try to show your son right path. There is a girl here who is still crying because of your bloody son. Then also I left him alive. Because I want to live. For my wife, for my baby and for my family."he said angrily and determined.

"And about revenge? I can't stoop so low like your son to play with a girl's life. Even if I decide to take revenge, it will be with him directly. Not with some innocent girl who don't know anything about it. And yes. Your son is gonna suffer for everything he did. I won't allow him to sleep peacefully in jail. He didn't see Vaibhav's real face till now. After doing all this I can't leave him just like that. I assure you that you wouldn't need to tolerate him anymore."Vaibhav said determined.

"You don't need to worry about your daughter. She will be safe with me till I am alive. I won't make her cry. You can believe me. Now pls leave before I start remembering old things. It will be dangerous for you."he said.

Vaigha's dad looked at her for one last time. Her face didn't show anything except hatred. He felt guilt and left with an heavy heart.

"Vaigha. No need to wait for anyone now. Let's leave. "He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and was about to walk when someone fell on their feet. They were shocked seeing Anjali crying on floor.

"Anjali. What are you doing? Get up."they made her stand.
She immediately hugged Vaigha. Vaigha was surprised first. Then she consoled her while Vaibhav was smiling. He knows that her sister loving them a lot. But it took time for her to let her feelings out. His brothers and sisters along with Uncle and aunty became happy.

"Vaigha. Pls don't leave us. This is not a home without you. Dont make us alone again." Anjali was emotional.
"Arey dont cry. Please."Vaigha hugged her tightly.

"Vaigha. Pls forgive me. I was a fool to not understand you. I filled my mind with so many conclusions and thought that all are right. It took time for me to realize which is right and which is wrong. I am really sorry. I didn't stop you when you left last time. But it hurted me too. If you returned back, I would have more happy than anyone."Anjali said.

"Anjali, we are not going anywhere. I was waiting for you to stop us. Do you think your bhai can simply leave you?"Vaibhav hugged his sister.

"It was not your mistake Anjali. May be I would have also behave same if I was in your place. You have suffered a lot. There is no wonder why you don't believe anyone easily. Unfortunately my brother is the reason for your horrible life. Sorry."Vaigha said but she covered her mouth.

"Dont say sorry for him. You are innocent. You did a lot for our family. I was blind to not see it. You know what. Your dad is unlucky to realize your worth. He lost you. His bad luck. But we won't. We won't lose you. And you are not an orphan. You have a family. You have 3 sisters and two brothers" Anjali said.

"Above all you have an handsome husband. So be cool." Vaibhav asked making her chuckle.

"Handsome ah? Only because bhabhi didn't have another choice she married you."Arjun said.
Vaibhav pouted.
"Who told that my bhai is not handsome? Poor man. Bhai I support you."Krithika hugged Vaibhav. He gave her a thumps up sign.

"And you will soon have a naughty baby like his Arjun uncle."Amar said.

"Most probably our baby will be Workaholic. Because his father and Amar uncle are 24 hours infront of laptop. Oh god. Bhabhi we have to save our kid from all these people."Arjun said gaining a smack from Amar.

"Arey stop this. My legs are hurting. Who will invite me inside?"Vaigha asked putting a pull stop to the conversation.
"Hurting? Should I lift you? Your husband always on your service Mrs."Vaibhav was about to pick her up.But she stopped.

"Do you need special invitation to enter to your own house ah? Come bhabhi."Amar said.

She walked along with his siblings. Sanjana was in between both Vaibhav and Vaigha. She was the most happy person.
"Wait. One minute. Aunty pls come."Anjali stopped before she enter. She went inside along with Nandini aunty.

"What these two are doing there?"Vaibhav asked impatiently.
After a few minutes, Anjali came with Arti (south indian tradition to welcome daughter in laws to their husband's home) in her hands. Vaigha became happy seeing it.
Anjali did prayers and Vaigha entered into her husband's home with pride.
Vaibhav held her hand and the other hand with Sanjana.

"From today onwards you are the mother for these naughty kids who won't obey anyone. Take care of that. You can definitely be a good bhabhi and a good house wife." Nandini blessed her and kissed her forehead.

SathyaPratap hugged both of them happily.
"All my wishes to the new parents. All the best."He blessed them.

"There is a gift from our side too for bringing a new member to our family." Amar said making both Vaigha and Vaibhav confused.
"What gift?"They asked.

Anjali came forward and placed something on her hand. She looked at it to see a bunch of keys. Vaibhav had a teary smile.
"This?"she asked looking at everyone.
"You are the one who have every right to keep the keys of this house. Because you are our bhabhi and mom." Anjali said bringing tears in her eyes.

Sanjana nodded supporting her sister.
"Yes bhabhi. We know that we hurted you a lot. But we promise we will make your life beautiful hereafter. You won't remember your past anytime."Arjun said.

"You are the best Bhabhi "Amar said
"And I?"Vaibhav rolled his eyes funnily.
"You are the beast"Amar said immediately making her chuckle.
He pouted.
"See. No one wants me now" he complained.
"Yeah after baby comes you will lose this value too. There after no one will want you. Better go to somewhere with your business meetings."Krithika commented and Vaigha held her ears without hurting her. She giggled.

Sanjana dragged both them to his room. Others followed them. She made them stand infront of their parents photo on wall. Vaigha smiled looking at Vaibhav who returned it.

"Dad, Mom. See our bhabhi. There is one more Surprise. You both are going to become grand parents. Happy?" Sanjana said through actions while caressing Vaigha's belly.

Vaigha kissed her hand and leaned to Vaibhav's shoulders.
"Thank you Vaibhav for giving me this family."she said.
He wiped her tears.
"You own it through your love and care for them. I love you Mrs."he said kissing her forehead.

She hugged him while the others joined. He wrapped his arms across his wife and siblings together. He had the biggest smile on his face he ever had. A smile of satisfaction, completeness and happiness. A family moment for them. And forever.
