''Are you my...s- so-son?'' Madhav could see Digvijay's green pupils dilate and constrict.

''Shivani's son. Digvijay Shivani Verma, whom you, the one who is my father by relation had abandoned!"

''I haven't...'' the words barely came out from Madhav's mouth.

''Same case isn't it? I am glad that I wasn't raised in the Poddar family like Armaan. You can see it yourself. Years ago you had left my mother and only support she had was me. She was pregnant when you left her! All she did was support the truth! Your mother- Mrs.Kaveri Poddar had left my mother's brother on the road after seeing him lying unconscious. She had hit him, hadn't she? And had fleed. You being an officer was supposed to stand for the truth. THE TRUTH WAS- YOUR MOTHER HAD LEFT MY MOTHER'S BROTHER TO DIE! Had a stranger not come to aid him, he would have died and he did die because his body wasn't functioning. He was paralyzed. He couldn't move his body and just lied on the bed like a lifeless body. And he died because of depression. He couldn't see himself helpless! He just couldn't burden her sister who was pregnant and heartbroken at that time. All because of you and your mother! Love for parents is must- it should be, there's nothing wrong but the truth shouldn't be blinded by love MR. MADHAV PODDAR!"

Armaan stared at his brother shockingly. Kaveri sweated and Vidya looked embarrassed amd shocked.

''Just because my mother wasn't from a rich household- Kaveri ji inflicted torture on her? What was my mother's fault? She stood for the right? She opened her mouth to speak? She protested against the wrong? She was a working woman? She was a woman of self respect? Was this her fault? It was. Kaveri ji wanted a mute bahu for herself and she did find one. You got your brain back and rushed to my mother and spent six months with her after you realised your mistake. After that I was kidnapped and was sold off to some place where I worked as a laborer before a kind woman found me and made me stay in her orphanage and educated me. What exactly happened after that? Let me tell you- my mother did not die after giving birth to Armaan, she died because your mother told her such things which made her feel low and  her last resort was to eat poison. She did not die. Kaveri ji indirectly took her life! And Kaveri ji took the onus to raise Armaan as the puppet of her and you did not investigate. What an officer!''

Madhav glared at Kaveri with anger and his eyes were bloodshot.

''Did you do this? Maa sa I am asking you!" He roared and Kaveri flinched.

''Were you the reason behind my Shivani's death?"

Kaveri did not utter a single word.

''Another truth Mr.Madhav. Sanjay Bansal was behind my kidnapping.'' Digvijay dropped another harsh truth.

''And Armaan, you are literally the photocopy of your father and congratulations you have taken the crown! You hit the lowest low than him!'' Digvijay exclaimed letting out a dry laugh and Armaan gulped, tears falling from his eyes.

''Let me tell you, you aren't Kaveri ji's grandson, you aren't Vidya ji's son, you are just a puppet, they use whenever they want! And you love to be used! Seems right! Get used and then get thrown away like trash.''

Digvijay's phone rang and broke the conversation. Before Digvijay could pick up Armaan picked it up to hand it over as he was near to Digvijay's phone. He glanced at his phone.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw the pop up on the screen.

The called id had the name Ira and the photo was of ABHIRA.
