Chapter 50: Chapter 50

Author's pov

Niyati was getting ready for Shivansh's wedding. She is wearing a deep maroon colour saree and looking beautiful.

She is standing in front of the mirror and brushing her hair softly. A blank expression is written all over her face and her eyes are looking dead.

She usually doesn't cake her face with makeup. But, today she did a lot of make-up to hide the sadness from her face. She can't describe in words how she is feeling right now.

She saw him having sex with another girl, he snatched her baby girl from her and today she is going to see him becoming someone else's forever. She doesn't know what can be worse than all this in her life.

She is still brushing her hair when Ranvijay entered the room. He hasn't gotten ready yet because he was confused about Niyati's decision of going to this wedding.

" Are you sure you want to go there?" Ranvijay asked coming forward.

Niyati replied with an emotionless voice," I want to see him. I want to see how he becomes someone else's."

"You don't need to go there," Ranvijay reminded looking at her reflection on the mirror.

She replied chuckling," He has invited me and I don't want to miss such occasion."

" As you wish. As I will meet my daughter I don't mind meeting that man again," Ranvijay replied and left the room.

Niyati chanted with a heavy heart," Yes, I want to see him. I want to see how he will give my place to someone else."

***************************************

Shivansh is sitting on the mandap(Pavillion) with Priyanka where a priest was chanting mantras. His eyes were glued on the fire which was blazing in front of him just like his heart.

The wedding has just started and every relative from Shivansh's family and Priyanka's family has come. Lalita's happiness knew no bounds by this wedding because finally, she is going to fulfil her promise to her friend.

Niyati and Ranvijay are also here. Niyati's eyes were glued on Shivansh and she can feel that he isn't happy with this marriage. Her eyes met Shivansh's eyes and they continued looking at each other without blinking their eyes. Both of them remembered their wedding and tears started gathering around their eyes.

Their eye contact was broken by a loud voice. They both looked at the door with everyone and found a police officer standing there with two lady constables.

" Stop this marriage," the police inspector said coming forward.

Lalita asked the inspector very calmly," As per as I remember I didn't invite you, officer. So, why are you here?"

" You are under arrest, Mrs Lalita Raichand," the inspector replied and everyone started whispering.

Niyati was confused yet shocked like everyone. She looked at Shivansh and found him standing like a statue. This thing didn't go very well with her. She can't believe he is just standing calmly when the police are trying to arrest his mother.

" What do you mean?" Yash asked coming forward and tried to hold the officer's collar.

Before he could touch the officer, Lalita asked the officer," For which crime?"

" You are under arrest for murdering Amrita Devi," The officer replied and Yash grabbed his collar.

Everyone has started whispering where Lalita was shocked and petrified. Her eyes grew wide like saucers and sweat beads started forming on her forehead.

Yash threatened the officer dangerously," Officer, you really don't know with whom you are talking. You really don't want to face Raichand family's wrath.

" Leave the officer, "Shivansh's voice boomed through the whole wedding hall and everyone diverted their gaze on him.

Yash yelled," Bhai!!

" I said leave the officer. And, officer. Take this murderer away from my eyesight," Shivansh ordered and everyone felt like the ground has slipped from under their feet.

Niyati looked at Shivansh's face and she can feel the sadness behind his hard expression. But, she is wondering what happened to Shivansh that today he isn't supporting his mother at all.

" Shiv!!" Lalita uttered with disbelief.

This time, Satya interrupted looking at her with pure disgust," What happened, Lalita? Why are you surprised? Didn't you kill your sister Amrita?"

" Satya!! You too. What's wrong with both of you?" Lalita asked with disbelief and tried to act innocent.

Satya screamed at the top of his lungs," Shut up, bitch!! Just shut up!! Enough of your drama!! You murderer!!"

Lalita flinched backwards when Lily asked Shivansh and Satya, "What the hell is going on? Dad, bhai. What's wrong with you? How can you accuse Ma?"

" What proof you have that Ma killed bhai's birth mother? Hmm," Yash asked yelling when Satya signalled something to the officer with his eyes.

A male constable entered the wedding hall with a man and Lalita paled looking at the man. Her body started trembling while her throat went dry looking at the man.

" Look at him, Lalita. Don't you know him?" Satya asked while resting his one hand around Lalita's shoulder.

Satya continued looking at Lalita's pale face," It was that same Ganja bhai whom you ordered to kill Amrita. It was the same Ganja bhai whom you ordered to bump Amrita's car by a truck from behind."

" Not only that but also it was the same Ganja bhai whom you ordered to harm Niyati just because I loved her and wanted to marry her. Aren't you ma?" Shivansh said and asked the last part looking at Niyati who was literally looking at everything with a dumbfounded expression.

Then something clicked inside Niyati's head. She remembered the day when some unknown people tried to harm her and she returned home with torn clothes. Her aunt threw away her from the house and this led to Shivansh and her sudden marriage. She can't believe it was Lalita who sent those goons to harm her.

Lalita continued looking at Shivansh with her scared eyes when he asked taunting," Why are you looking at me like that? Are you denying all this? Should I call Surya uncle and let him tell in front of everyone about your noble deeds?"

Before Lalita could say anything, Yash and Lily yelled defending their mother," What the hell? We don't believe all this. What's wrong with you people?"

" It would be better if you both stop defending her," Satya told Yash & Lily very dangerously and they became silent.

This time Lalita said holding Shivansh's hand," Shiv, there might be some kind of misunderstanding. You love your ma. Your ma can't do something like that, right? Trust me, son. I didn't do all this."

" You have tainted the word Ma," Shivansh uttered with great difficulty where a tear threatened to fall from his left eyes but somehow he controlled himself.

Lalita almost ran towards Satya and said crying in front of him," Satya, someone is trying to frame me. I swear. I didn't do anything. I love you. I can never do all this."

Satya held a chunk of her hair and whispered in her ear," Loved me!! If you have loved me then you would have never fucked my brother after our marriage. Do you want me to tell the whole world about Yash and Lily? Do you want everyone to spit on their face and call them bastard?"

Lalita became silent after hearing Satya where tears were just flowing from her eyes nonstop. She looked at Lily & Yash who were looking at her with teary eyes. She diverted her gaze towards Shivansh and he just turned away his face in another direction.

Satya pulled her hair behind and whispered again," Don't try to act innocent because you won't succeed. I have Yash & Lily's DNA reports"

" Officer, take her away," Shivansh ordered the officer and a lady constable handcuffed Lalita.

The police dragged Lalita outside when Shivansh removed the turban from his head. He apologized to everyone for this drama. Specifically, he apologized to Priyanka's parents.

Then, he turned towards Priyanka and said," You are a very good person, Priyanka. You will find someone 1000% better than me. I am not worthy of love so please don't shower your precious love on me. You will be happy without me."

Shivansh said the last part looking at Niyati who was still in shock. She is still in her bewildered situation and trying to understand what just happened.

Very soon Niyati composed her shocked state and ran outside. She followed the police who were dragging Lalita.

" Can I talk with her? Just for 2-3 minutes?" She requested the police officer when he will just get inside the car with Lalita.

The officer permitted Niyati to talk with Lalita and she smiled brightly.

" Tsk....tsk..tsk...Mummy Ji.....how did all this happened suddenly? How did your beloved son turn against you? I am really sorry for you," Niyati mocked looking at Lalita's gloomy, angry and vulnerable face.

Lalita screamed on Niyati's face," Bitch, I am sure you are behind all this."

" It is all about your karma, Mummy Ji. I always knew that you were behind my divorce from Shiv. I always knew that it was you who framed me. Due to lack of evidence I couldn't prove my innocence," Niyati said and Lalita clenched her jaw.

Then, Niyati continued," Four years ago, I was in this same position. No one believed me, every proof was against me and everyone was pointing finger at me, humiliating me. And, now you are in this same situation. It's Karma, mummy Ji. As you sow, so you reap."

Saying all this a satisfied smile formed on her lips when Lalita screamed," I knew bitch. The day you returned to our life. I knew that you will bring destruction. I won't spare you. Mark my words. I won't spare anyone."

Lalita tried to grab Niyati when the police forcefully shoved her inside the car and left the place.

***************************************

At Night

Lily is crying nonstop in Kabir's embrace. She can't believe what just happened. She can't see people calling her mother a murderer and humiliating her.

" How can bhai and Dad do this to ma? How can they?" Lily asked clutching Kabir's shirt tightly.

Kabir is trying to console her but nothing was working. She was crying non-stop and blaming Shivansh and Satya continuously.

" For God's sake, stop your crying Lily. You are pregnant," Kabir said getting irritated by her continuous crying.

Lily requested looking into his eyes," Please, convince Bhai and Dad. Tell them to bring back my mother."

" What can I say, Lily? Every proof was against your mother. Nothing can be done now," Kabir said and Lily cried out more loudly.

Lily is still crying when Shivansh entered the room having a gloomy expression on his face. His eyes were red indicating he has cried and his hairs were messy too.

" Bhai, please bring back ma," Lily requested noticing Shivansh.

Shivansh held Lily's one forearm tightly and made her stand up.

" I am going to ask you something. Tell me whatever you know," Shivansh said making Lily confused.

Lily blinked her eyes when Shivansh asked making a straight face," Did Niyati really slept with someone or you and Lalita were behind all this?"

Hearing his question Lily literally stumbled back and a scared expression appeared over her face. She gulped down her saliva looking at Shivansh's suspicious eyes.

" I don't know. Why are you bringing back past incidents?" She asked trying to free her forearm.

Shivansh yelled on her face," Tell me the truth."

" I don't remember," Lily said crying and Shivansh's doubt grew deeper after her reply.

After the revelation of Lalita's true face Shivansh has started joining the loops to understand everything. He has come to know that Lalita has tried to harm Niyati when they weren't married. So, there is a big possibility that Lalita might have framed Niyati.

He also understood one thing that he was a fool to believe Lalita blindly. He has started cursing himself for that and he doesn't know what will happen if it turns out that Niyati was innocent all the time. He will never be able to forgive himself for destroying their happy life.

" You don't remember or you are hiding," Shivansh barked on her face and due to extreme fear she fainted.

After some hour

Lily is lying on the bed and crying silently where Kabir was just holding her hands to console her.

Yash, Shivansh and Satya are also here with gloomy and tensed expressions on their face. Yash was literally killing Shivansh with his eyes and Shivansh was just looking at Lily with void eyes.

" Because of you she is now lying on the bed like that," Yash accused pointing his finger at Shivansh.

Well, Lily has miscarried. She was having mental pressure and her pregnancy was complicated. As a result, she lost her baby and everyone is now blaming Shivansh for all this.

" It was her fate. Shivansh didn't do anything," Satya told Yash glaring at him.

Yash let out a mocking smile and said," I am not surprised that you are supporting him when he was behind your daughter's miscarriage. Because no matter what your favourite son can never do anything wrong. Right, Dad."

" Stop all this, Yash," Shivansh uttered angrily.

Yash replied chuckling," Why my dear brother? What happened? Are you ashamed that you killed your sister's child?"

" Stop.......Just stop.....leave me alone. All of you," Lily yelled while Kabir tried to console her.

Then, she screamed looking at Shivansh," You are a murderer. You killed my baby. If you didn't do all this drama then my child would have been alive till now."

Shivansh couldn't tolerate all this anymore. He just left Lily's room and came back into his room. He closed the door and looked at the bed where Neela was sleeping peacefully.

He fell on his knees and burst into crying. He was literally feeling everything toxic. First, his mother's true self, then the doubt of Niyati being innocent and now the accusation of murdering Lily's baby was just too much for him. He wasn't being able to take all this emotional pain anymore.

" I am not able to take all this anymore," Shivansh uttered crying like a helpless child.
