" What did you just say? Lalita asked with pure shock after hearing Shivansh calling her Mrs Raichand.

Shivansh replied spitting venom over her face," Shut up. Just shut up!!! You..........murde................"

He started gritting his teeth and closed his eyes. He fisted his palm tightly where the veins of his neck were popping out. He was literally burning with anger and only he knows how he is feeling right now.

" How can you talk like that with me, Shiv? What's wrong with you?" Lalita asked panicking and held Shivansh's shoulder.

Shivansh opened his eyes and looked directly into his mother's eyes. He found a hidden fear in her eyes along with evilness. His heart shattered into million pieces remembering something.

Suddenly he started laughing like a madman and removed Lalita's hands. He started roaming here and there like a crazy person while laughing non-stop.

On the other hand, Lalita was shocked, confused and petrified. She isn't understanding what happened to Shivansh suddenly that he is behaving abnormally. He never behaved like that before.

She asked grabbing Shivansh's right wrist," What happened to you, son?"

Hearing the word son, Shivansh felt another heartache and stopped laughing. He held Lalita's shoulder and a burst of humourous laughter left his mouth.

" Ma, I was just joking. It was a prank. Nothing happened," Shivansh said softly and Lalita got angry instantly.

She started scolding him where he was just continued standing like a statue. He didn't reply to any of her scoldings instead he was just staring back at her. She sensed something off about him but didn't pay that much attention.

She replied slapping his arm," Don't do this type of prank again. Don't."

" Ok. I won't," Shivansh replied and Lalita just sighed.

" But, why you got so scared and serious by this prank? Is there something that you are hiding, Ma? Shivansh asked suspiciously raising his one brow.

Lalita replied getting scared," What do you mean?"

" Nothing ma. Nothing," Shivansh said and hugged Lalita suddenly making her startled.

He closed his eyes and a tear almost rolled down his eyes but somehow he controlled it. He just breathed with difficulty and tightened his hold around Lalita.

" What happened, Shiv? Are you ok my son? Tell your ma," Lalita said rubbing his back gently because she can sense that something is wrong with him.

Shivansh didn't reply to her, instead, he started chanting," You are my mother. Yes, you are.....You are my mother. ......Yes, you are."

" Is everything alright?" Lalita asked again when he broke the hug.

He replied kissing his mother's forehead," Everything is fine, Ma. There is nothing to worry about. You just do whatever you were doing. Preparation of my wedding."

Lalita tried to say something but he didn't let her say anything further. He just turned towards his room while continuing only one sentence 'You are my mother'.

Reaching his room, he closed the door and fell to his knees. He burst into tears thinking about the truth which he just came to know about his mother.

" All the years she just pretended," Shivnash mumbled where his lips quivered uncontrollably.

He started punching the floor repeatedly drawing blood from his knuckles. Tears were flowing from his eyes whenever he was remembering the disgusting truth which he just came to know.

" In my whole life, I loved two women genuinely and both of them betrayed me," Shivansh said and punched the floor one last time before falling on the floor like a broken piece of doll.

" Roman & Rion, can you tell Mumma with whom you were talking at the parking lot?" Orni asked her kids having a terrified expression on her face.

She was sitting on an easy chair holding her kids in her lap who were busy eating bananas. After the Holi celebration, she didn't leave Shivansh's farmhouse because she had a panic attack. Her mind is now completely stuck with the man whose backside was seen by her in the parking lot.

She doesn't remember anything about Ranvijay aka Vijendra but can never forget those horrible tortures which he had put on her. She removed a few strands of her hair from her shoulder and rubbed a scar. She shivered automatically feeling the rough skin.

Roman replied stuffing his whole face with the banana," He was Neela's daddy."

"Daddy!! I thought Shivansh bhai is Neela's father," Orni mumbled confusingly and thought to ask Shivansh about Neela's relationship with that man.

Orni is still thinking about that man when Rion said," Mumma, you know what that man looks like a Hulk."

" Really?" Orni asked when he continued," But, he is a nice man. He gave me a lot of candies and told me that he will buy kites for me."

Orni replied seriously," You aren't going to take anything from him until I take permission from bhai. Moreover, I forbade you to take anything from any stranger."

" Ok," Rion replied like an obedient child.

Orni is still talking with her kids when Yash entered the room. He gave a toothy smile to Orni which she returned with a glare. She just doesn't like his behaviour.

" It must be very difficult for you to raise two kids without their father's support, Hmm?" Yash asked sitting on the couch in front of Orni.

Orni asked suspiciously," Why are you becoming so interested in my life?"

" It's just sad to see someone so beautiful and young like you is alone. If you wan..........." He tried to sympathize her situation when she replied bluntly," I am not alone. My brother is with me and as per as I remember you are Shivansh bhai's brother means you are my brother too. So, Is it appropriate to do whatever you are trying to do with me?"

Yash said looking at her body shamelessly," But, I am not your real brother. I can take care of you more than a brother care for his sister."

Orni was going to yell at him when he continued," Don't you want a father for your kids?"

Saying that he tried to caress Rion's cheek when Rion bit his hand and said," Don't touch me. I don't like you."

" This brat," Yash mumbled hissing a little and stood up to teach a good lesson to Rion.

He raised his hand to strike Rion when Orni threatened," You don't want to go to jail, do you?"

Yash remembered that six months of punishment in the jail and thought to leave this room before Orni call everyone. He doesn't want to be humiliated in front of everyone again. He knows that he has to try some other way to get her.

" Bitch," Yash mumbled and started going towards the door while Orni just rolled her eyes.

Orni and her sons giggled when they heard Yash groaning in pain lying on the floor. He looked at them and they stopped their giggle immediately. Roman & Rion hugged their mother tightly looking at his scary eyes.

Well, Yash just slipped his leg on a banana peel. Actually, it was Roman who threw the peel on the floor and Yash didn't notice. He stepped his foot on it and slipped unexpectedly. He fell on his butt and hurt his lower region.

" Zayda dard to nehi huaa, bhaiyaa.........( Did it hurt a lot, brother)," Orni asked sarcastically exaggerating the word Bhaiya.

Yash just burned with pure anger and stood up rubbing his waist a little. He glared at Orni and stormed out of the room.

No sooner had Yash left the room than Orni told Roman," It's a bad manner to throw trash in the house."

" Why?"Roman asked innocently and continued," It's good that the bad uncle hurt himself."

Orni replied tidying his baby hairs with her hand," Instead of that uncle anyone could have slipped on the banana peel and hurt themselves. It could be your grandpa, Mama or Neela. Do you want them to get hurt?"

Roman nodded his head in the negative when Orni said," Promise me that you won't do something like that again."

" Ok, Mumma," Roman replied and Orni kissed his forehead.

At Night

Satya is on the terrace enjoying the cool breeze. He was holding Neela softly who is in deep slumber over his chest. He was stroking Neela's hair softly while his mind was occupied by Orni.

" She looks like....Urgh.....I can't remember her name," Satya mumbled and failed to remember someone particularly.

He is still trying to remember when Shivansh entered the terrace silently. He stood in front of Satya when he signalled Shivansh to not speak.

" I will take her to the room," Shivansh whispered taking a sleeping Neela in his arms.

Very soon Shivansh returned to the terrace and found Satya thinking something deeply. He kneeled in front of Satya and held his hands which was a little weird for Satya.

" Dad, I want to talk with you about some matter?"Shivansh said and Satya frowned his brows.

He replied, "Hmm. I am listening. What's the matter?"

Shivansh opened his mouth but no word came out. It's like he has lost his voice to say something. Actually, he wasn't getting enough courage to say the truth.

" What happened, Shiv? You are looking disturbed," Satya asked noticing Shivansh's hesitation.

Shivansh replied gulping down the lump which just formed inside his throat," I am going to tell you something. A big truth. Promise me that you will hear me out first."

This time Satya became confused and asked seriously," What's the matter?"

" Promise me that you won't panic," Shivansh said holding Satya's hand tightly.

Satya promised giving an assuring smile to Shivansh," Ok. Ok. I won't panic. What happened?"

" The thing is.......I mean.....Yash.....and...Lily.....I.....mean....I don't....know.....how to tell," Shivansh started mumbling with hesitation while sadness clouded his whole face.

Satya got tensed and asked panicking," Yash & Lily? What happened to them? What are you talking about? Aren't they ok?"

" Dad....." Shivansh mumbled while a broken expression appeared over his face.

This time Satya couldn't take anymore and yelled," Just tell me...."

" Yash and Lily aren't your children. They aren't my siblings," Shivansh replied in one go making Satya completely silent.

Shivansh lowered his head after uttering those sentences where Satya was just watching him with a dumbfounded expression. He felt like he has heard wrong. He scanned Shivansh's face and became nervous because his expression was telling that he isn't lying at all.

" Shiv, you know that I like joking but let me inform you that I don't like this type of joke," Satya said coldly and Shivansh sighed.

Shivansh answered looking down," This is not joke, Dad. Ma lied to you all the years. Yash and Lily aren't your children and my siblings."

" Shut up, Shiv. I can't stand your rubbish talking anymore. Don't forget about whom you are talking? Didn't you feel ashamed while talking something like that about your mother?" Satya screamed over Shivansh's face and stood up angrily.

He stormed towards the door to leave the terrace when Shivansh said loudly," Not only that but also my birth mother Amrita Devi was murdered by Lalita Raichand. She lied to us all the years."

Satya halted in his place and Shivansh's every word rang inside his head. He felt like someone has thrown into a cold lake because he can feel his blood turning cold. He went numb for a few seconds.

" I went to meet Surya Uncle and he told me everything. Moreover, I did a DNA test of Yash & Lily. They aren't your blood," Shivansh informed with his trembling voice and continued sitting like a statue because he doesn't have that much courage to look at Satya right now.

After a few minutes, Shivansh looked frontwards after hearing a thud sound. His eyes grew wide and he got scared seeing his father lying on the ground holding his chest.

" Dad......" Shivansh screamed at the top of his lungs and ran towards Satya.
