Hey guys..... first of all. I am so so sorry. I have been MIA for so many months. But trust me I have been super busy. I didn't have time for myself.

Classes, exams, postings, and whatnot.

I logged into Wattpad after so long and there were msgs and comments asking about updates. So I thought today I'll give an update. I sat for 3 hrs straight and here it is. I don't know how it is. Please do tell me about it.

But here it is. This story is soon coming to an end.

Please keep supporting me like you always had.

Love you guys so much...

----------------------
This is absurd. A totally absurd idea.

Can you guys imagine where I am standing right now? Gill House!

Yessss!

Gill house. Why? Because it's Diwali and we give gifts to our families on this occasion. Who said this?

One and only, Sidharth Shukla.

It's his idea to get the confession from the Gills and evidence for our case.

"Let's go." He came back from parking the car.

"Umm... Sidharth are you really, really sure we should do this? They are gonna be super furious due to these." I asked unsurely.

"Yes, I am really really sure we should do this. And about being angry, then that is the motive you know. People tend to say the truth when they are angry, especially when they hate you. And sorry to say, but too know, these people hate us to the core after what happened at the function." He said pointing towards the house in front of us. I sighed. He is right. They hate us and not only gifts but me being there in front of them will anger them.

Sidharth and I went up to the door and rang the bell. I was fidgeting with my finger in anticipation of what was going to happen when I felt Sidharth hold my hand.

"I am with you, always and forever." He said looking directly into my eyes. I think this assurance was the only thing I need to have the courage to do this. We were both lost in each other when the door opened. Coming back to reality we looked at the door to see who was it.

"Di..." Whispered Arman (I have literally forgotten the name I used). He came forward and hugged me. I wanted to hug him back but I couldn't get myself to do so. I fought for him and Mrs. Gill and they still chose Mr. Gill instead of me.

"Mr. And Mrs. Gill hai?" I asked detaching myself from his embrace and looking down instead of his eyes.

"D...Di...." He said with a heavy voice. When I looked into his eyes I saw so many emotions that made my eyes too wet. But the hurt is bigger right now. I nodded and we went inside.

"Kon hai puttar?" Mrs. Gill came out of the kitchen. She looked at me and Sidharth. Her eyes widened. The shock was all over her face.

"Sana..." She trailed off with moist eyes. She took a step towards me with arms little open. I don't know why she thinks that I will hug her happily after what she did with me. I stepped back and looked away making her halt in her steps.

Sidharth cleared his throat breaking the awkwardness of the atmosphere.

"Hello, Mrs. Gill, um...we are here to..um give Diwali presents. Happy Diwali." He said with an awkward chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Ajj chai mil jayegi ki nahi. Poora din nhi h mere pas teri chai ka intezar krne ke lie." The angry voice of Mr. Gill came from the living room.

"L..la...lai" Mrs. Gill shutters and ran inside.

"Di...app log yaha kyu aye ho. Ajj bua bhi ayi Hui hai. Please chale jaiye. Apke lie hi accha hoga." Arman said in a worried tone.

"Relax buddy. Ghar aur meheman ko apni family se milne pehele hi bhej doge kya. Abhi to aye hai, sab se mil to lene do." Sidharth said patting his shoulder and went towards the living room not before me a nod.

"Here goes nothing." I sighed and went behind him. Arman tried to stop me but I ignored him.

"Tu...tu yaha kya kar rha hai. Nikal mere ghar se abhi ki abhi." Mr. Gill was shouting at Sidharth when I entered the scene. My blood boiled at this.

"Dunia ko tameez sikhate sikhate lagta hai app khud tameez bhool gaye hai. Meheman se kaise bat krte h yaad dilana padega kya apko?" I asked greeting my teeth in anger.

"Tu...teri himaat kaise..." He was cut off by Sidharth.

"Are are shant. App log to kahi bhi ramayan chalu kr dete hai. Hum, to bus ap logo ko Diwali gifts Dene aye hai. Ab diwali hai to itna to banta hai na." He said smiling sweetly, extra sweetly.

"Dekha bhai, kaise ye ladki apne ashiq ke sath akar hume paiso ka dhos dikha rhai hai. Hume nahi chahiye tum jaise besharam logo se koi bhi cheez. Nikal jao mere bhai ke ghar se abhi ki abhi." Bua yelled at us. I saw Sidharth trying to control his anger. Well, I was trying to do the same but the difference is I was failing to do so.

"Sidharth chal yaha se. In jaise gire hue logo ke beech ghutan ho rahi hai mujhe." I said holding his hand and trying to pull him back.

"Nahi..." He said stopping me. I looked into his eyes and saw determination. I took a deep breath. I don't want to do this but for him anything.

Honestly, I am not much worried about the scene created here as I know this is inevitable. I am more scared to hear the reason why they did what they did. I have a feeling that it will completely shatter me.

"So....ab hum aa gaye hai to apna kam poora kare bina to jayenge nhi. So yeah...1st gift unke lie jinse hum sabse zada pyaar krte hai." He said and took out two envelopes from his coat pocket.

"Here...ye app dono ke lie. Kholie kholie, sharmayie mat." He said giving the envelopes to my father and bua. They gave him a disgusting looking but opened it anyway.

When they read what is inside it, their eyes bulged out.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" Mr. Gill shouted throwing the envelope on the table.

"Kya hua ji? Kya likha hai isme?" Mrs. Gill asked him.

"Case kiya hai tumhari is beti ne mere aur didi ke upar." Said Mr. Gill throwing daggers toward me.

"Jis ladki ko itne sal ghar mein rakha, khilaya pilaya...ye sila diya hai is aisan faramosh ladki ne hume. Isse accha tha ise tabhi mar dete." Bua spoke with a venomous glare.

"Didi...." Mrs. Gill trailed in shock and I don't know what emotion.

"Kya didi haa? Kya? Aise hume kya dekh rahi hai. Teri is Naa jayas aulad ne kya kiya humare sath dikhta nahi tujhe?" Shouted Mr. Gill making me shocked.

Naa jayas?

"Ye..ye app kya kehte rahe hai?" I asked still very much shocked.

"Haan tu naa jayas hai. Patani kiska ganda khoon hai tu. Tujhe aur teri is maa ko to usi din mar dena chahiye tha jis din ye tujhe is ghar mein layi thi. Jab se tu is ghar mein ayi hai, is ghar se khushiya chali gayi hai. Sadak par Ane vale haal ho gaye hai." My grandmother spat this time. I couldn't get over the fact that I am an illegitimate child.

I looked over at Mrs. Gill in question. She looked away in guilt confirming that whatever was said here was the truth. I stumbled back not being able to digest it. Sidharth caught me and made me sit on the sofa. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths. I don't want to have an anxiety attack right now. I want to know the complete truth.

"Please mujhe bataiye mera sach. Please, I beg you. Ab aur nhi sehen hoti mujhse ye nafrat. Please...." I begged Mrs. Gill and broke down completely. Sidharth hugged me from the side saying soothing words in my ears.

I looked over her once again when I calmed down. She had silent tears running down her cheeks.

"Am I even your child? app meri asli maa hai bhi ya nahi?" I asked with a broken heart and voice. She looked at me in a jerk. Her eyes showed surprise, pain, and guilt.

Instead of saying anything she just nodded in yes.

"To phir kyu? Kyu mere sath ye sab hone diya? Kyu mere aur bhai mein itna farak kiya? Kyu mai kabhi apke lie sahi nhi thi? KYUN MERI ZINDGI KAHRAB KI? MERI ZINDAGI BARBAD KARKE KYA MILA APKO? I yelled at her in anger and pain. She flinched and moved a little back, crying even more. But right now I don't care. I don't want to care. I just want to know the truth.

"Who is my father? Why did you bring me here? Tell me the truth. Today I want to know the complete truth." I said looking at her with determination. I will not go from here till I know the truth.

"Are ye kya batayegi. Mai batati hu. Tere baap...." Bua started but I have had enough of her.

"Maine poocha apse? Haan? Nahi na. To chup rahiye. Bohot ho gaya apka ab. Mai apni maa se bat kar Rahi hu. Beech mei bolne ki himmat bhi mat karna ab." I said pointing a finger at her face. To hell with manners now. I don't care.

"Teri to...." This time Mr. Gill started and came towards me to slap me. But his hand was held in mid-air by Sidharth.

"Galti se bhi ye galti mat karna. Vo akeli nahi hai. Sidharth shukla uske sath hai. Aur mai kya kar sakta hu is bat ka andaza bhi nhi hai apko. To apni had mein rahiye. Agli bar uski taraf hath uthya ya awaz tak uchi Kari to zameen mein Zinda garh dunga aur kisiko bhanak tak nahi lagegi. Samajh mein aya?" He said in a dangerously low voice that I have never heard before. And honestly, it scared me a little. Not for me, but for him. I am afraid he might do something in anger that he'll get in trouble.

"Sidharth...." I said in a low whisper and held his hand that was holding Mr. Gill's hand tightly. He looked at me and I held his gaze to calm him down. He took a deep breath and left Mr. Gill's hand with a jerk. He nodded and we moved a little away from the others.

"So Mrs. Gill, I think you need to answer her questions now. And mind you, I want you to be completely honest because it will not take me long to find out the truth myself." He said to Mrs. Gill but this time his voice is gentle yet firm. Everyone here knew he is dead serious. Mrs. Gill nodded and wiped her tears.

"I..i..it..w..wa..." She stammered due to all the crying.

Sidharth went to the dining table and brought a glass of water and made her drink it. He then made her sit down on the sofa.

"Please relax and tell us the truth. You don't have to be afraid of anyone. (She gave him a surprised look) yeah...I can see that you are scared. I don't know whom but please don't be. Please try to understand that we need to know the truth. I know you love her, I have seen it in your eyes. (I scoffed at that sentence) she is angry and anyone at her place would be angry. I want her to have justice so she could live her life with happiness, and not be scared of it. Trust me I just want to make everything right. So please tell us the truth." He made her understand with so much warmth. This only made me love him more. She nodded her head and looked at me with something in her eyes that I can't tell. And then she started.
