Author's pov
" Hey, Orni. You don't have to be afraid. He isn't here anymore," Niyati assured Orni who was hiding in the washroom with her children.
Orni didn't answer. She just kept hiding like a scared bunny holding her children. After gaining her senses back she was just scared and nervous about everything. The fear VR has installed inside are is still there.
Niyati again insisted," Orni, please come out. See, Neela is here to meet you. She wants to play with Roman and Roman. How about we go shopping? It will be fun."
" Aunty, come out. I want to play with Roman and Rion," Neela said with her baby voice and that's when Orni decided to come out.
With trembling hands, Orni held the doorknob and twisted it. With nervous eyes, she peeped outside and noticed that Niyati wasn't lying. Taking a few relaxed breaths she came out of the washroom.
Orni is now sitting on the bed and looking at her lap silently. Her hair is messy, her face is dull, the body is shaking slightly due to nervousness and fear. She is fidgeting her fingers and thinking about VR. What if he again comes here and tries to harm her.
Niyati noticed that the kids are playing so she requested Orni very politely," Orni, you haven't eaten anything yet. Eat something."
" I don't want to eat," Orni answered with a barely audible voice and Niyati sighed.
Suddenly, Orni started saying with her painful voice and teary eyes," You know what I loved him truly but he didn't. He hid everything from me and just used me. My feelings, my body...everything was just useable toys for him. He made me hate him. He disrespected my love for him."
" Why did he do all this to you?" Niyati asked but Orni couldn't answer. She started shedding tears silently breathing heavily.
They were talking about everything when the room's door burst open. Everyone looked at the door and found Shivansh standing there with Orni's father Sanjay Patel. Everyone's eyes became wide like saucers looking at the intruders.
Orni was bewildered seeing her father after a long time. For a few seconds, she couldn't breathe. She just continued looking at her father who was already looking at her with teary eyes. Tears started flowing from her eyes seeing her father sitting in the wheelchair.
" Orni, my daughter," Sanjay called opening his embrace and Orni couldn't control herself anymore.
She rushed towards her father and kneeled in front of him. She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back. They both started crying in each other's arms because both of them were overwhelmed.
Orni asked cupping her father's face in her tiny palms," How are you, Papa?"
" I...am...good, sweety. How are you?" Sanjay asked trying to control his tears.
Orni assured her father that she is fine when Sanjay asked her worriedly," How is your baby? Is he/she fine? I couldn't even see his/her face when you left."
" They are here. God has gifted me two cute little boys," Orni pointed her fingers towards her kids who were already looking at everything with confused and curious eyes.
Orni called her kids and they met their grandpa. The kids became excited when their mother introduced them to their grandpa. Sanjay pulled them into a tight hug and kissed their forehead.
" Orni," Sanjay called and she looked at him with questioning eyes.
Sanjay asked making her paralyzed for a few moments," Do you want to meet your ma(mother)?"
On the other hand, Niyati stumbled back looking at Shivansh's condition. Her heart started beating non-stop noticing the bandages on his face and hands. It didn't take long for her to understand that Shivansh was injured somehow.
She couldn't control her emotions anymore and rushed towards him. She started trailing her fingers all over his face having a nervous expression.
" What happened to you? Where were you? Do you know how much everyone is worried about you? Couldn't you inform before vanishing like that?" Niyati asked him in one go and Shivansh was dumbfounded by her actions.
Then, she again asked checking his body," How are you? Why are you bandaged like that? Are you hurt? Should I call the doctor?"
Shivansh blinked his eyes a few times to understand her behaviour. He noticed her eyes and saw the same concern she used to have for him. He became extremely happy seeing that she is concerned about him. He liked how she was inquiring about his well being. A smile formed on his lips seeing her restless condition for him. Hope rose inside him that she will forgive him for his misdeeds.
Suddenly, something clicked inside Niyati's head and she understood what she was doing. She felt embarrassed and composed herself. Even after 3 years of their divorce and a lot of mistreatment from him she can't stop caring for him.
" Umm....I was....just....asking. Where were you?" Niyati asked hesitatingly with her embarrassed voice and Shivansh understood her situation.
Shivansh answered sighing," I will tell you later. I can't say anything in front of the kids."
Niyati nodded her head in the positive when Neela jumped on him and said sadly," Papa, where were you? I missed you so much. I thought you won't meet me again."
" I am so sorry, baby," Shivansh apologized picking up Neela in his muscular arms.
Niyati noticed Orni's father and asked Shivansh lowering her voice a little," How did you find Orni's father?"
" I checked Vijendra Randhawa's background and got to know about him. Finally, that criminal will be behind the bar," Shivansh answered and Niyati remained silent. Somehow she also started developing hatred for Ranvijay seeing Orni's situation.
Then, Shivansh said with his guilty voice," Niyati, I want to talk to you about something very important. About us?"
" About us? There is nothing to talk about us," Niyati answered hardening her voice a little.
Shivansh tried to say something when she took away Neela from his arms. Shivansh didn't oppose though he owned Neela's custody. He doesn't want Niyati to hate him more.
Shivansh requested with pleading eyes," Niyati, please. I am sor.................."
" Since you are here I think I should return to my house. I am happy that at least you took care of Orni. You didn't abandon her like you did to me," Niyati answered interrupting Shivansh and he just lowered his head.
After that Niyati didn't waste any seconds. Saying a simple goodbye to Orni she left the place with Neela. Shivansh tried to talk to her but she didn't give him any chance.
***************************************
Niyati & Ranvijay are sitting in front of each other and a lawyer is also here. Niyati is in the police station to divorce Ranvijay.
She has already come to know that he tried to kill Shivansh and the hatred for him has increased inside her on another level. Though she is grateful towards him for helping her, she can't unsee his misdeeds too.
" Since you aren't Neela's biological father so you won't have any right on her after divorce. Are you agreeing with this matter?" The lawyer asked and Ranvijay looked at Niyati with disbelief.
Ranvijay asked Niyati very calmly," Niyati, how could you do this to me? I am ok with the divorce but I won't have any right on Neela!! What does that mean? You won't let me meet her? Are you serious? How could you forget that for Neela I am her father?"
" I can't accept a criminal as my baby's father," Niyati answered with her straightforward voice and Ranvijay couldn't say anything further because Niyati's behaviour has hurt him a lot.
He can't believe how she forgot about his help so early. She knew how much he loves Neela but still, she thought to keep her away from him. He couldn't meet his children and now his daughter is being snatched from him too. This thought just killed him from inside. But, for this, he isn't blaming Niyati. She was right about one thing. Who will want a criminal as her baby's father? But, he is angry with Shivansh for revealing his real identity to the police and he isn't going to spare Shivansh.
" Sign the papers," the lawyer told Ranvijay and he signed it without uttering any words.
Niyati also signed the papers and now they aren't husband & wife anymore. Somehow Niyati was hurt that she lost a good friend whereas Ranvijay was hurt by her behaviour.
" I will return the mone..........." Niyati was interrupted by Ranvijay.
He told Niyati hardening his voice a little," You don't have to return a single Penny. I helped you selflessly because I was redeeming myself. If you want to return the favour then take care of Orni and my kids. I hope you won't hesitate to do this."
" I will," Niyati answered and left the police station hurriedly.
***************************************
" Dad, we are sorry. Please forgive us," Yash and Lily begged joining their hands in front of him.
Satya answered with his emotionless voice," I am disowning you from my name, my household and everything. You both have proved in the actual meaning that you are not my children."
Hearing him, Lily ran towards Shivansh and held his hands tightly. She was crying non-stop and pleading in front of Shivansh and Satya.
" Bhai, I am sorry. I was brainwashed by ma," Lily apologized and Shivansh jerked away her hands.
Well, after returning Shivansh has told the truth to Satya about Lily and Yash. Lily and Yash also came to know about their biological father and they were shocked by the truth. They didn't believe Shivansh but seeing the DNA reports they had to believe. Satya couldn't agree to keep them as his children when he came to know that they were equally involved with Lalita behind Shivansh's divorce.
Shivansh told gritting his teeth," You both have time till now. Leave this house politely. Don't force me to throw you outside like some kind of garbage."
" Bhai, Forgi.............." Yash tried to say but couldn't complete it because of Shivansh's interruption.
Shivansh screamed on Yash's face," And, you better keep your mouth shut. You were the root of all problems. First, you tried to harm Naina and then you provoked everyone to frame Niyati. Say thanks to God that I haven't broken every single bone of your body till now!!"
This time, Yash and Lily rushed towards Satya. They both fell on their knees and held his legs. Both of them started crying bitterly for mercy. Where will they go if their family disown them?
" Dad, forgive us. Everything was Ma's fault. We did whatever she told us to do. It wasn't our fault. Please, don't do this to us," Both pleaded and Satya moved backwards.
He declared having a void expression on his face," Both of you are educated and mature. I believe that both of you can support yourselves. So, it won't matter if I disown you. Now, leave my house. You have proved that you are Lalita's children, not mine."
After that, having no other choices Yash and Lily have to leave their house. Lily was also thrown away by Kabir because he didn't want an illegitimate child as his wife. Yash was disowned from all the company works and he didn't get single penny for his works. It was Shivansh who didn't give anything to them.
Yash and Lily got what they deserved. Once Niyati became homeless because of them and now they are in her place. Both of them understood one thing that they shouldn't have supported their witch mother.
