===============================================================================

Everyone was seated in the living room, waiting for Ahaan to begin speaking, all of them except Dadi and Ishqi were eager to finally know the full truth. As for Ahaan, he was disgusted with Dadi, the woman he'd considered above god had attempted to wreck his house, not Ishqi but she was the home-breaker and betrayer, his grandma. 

Ishqi lightly patted Ahaan's arm, he lifted his face and met her gaze, his eyes screaming pain and hurt. Ishqi wrapped her hand around Ahaan's arm and gave him a reassuring look, realizing how hard this whole revelation was for him. 

Ahaan calmed down a little and cleared his throat, "Aapko kuch kehna hai?" he asked Dadi coldly. Ahaan wanted her to accept her crimes on her own, he knew what she did, she knew what she'd done but still, Dadi kept her fake confusion mask on. 

Dadi: N-Nahi puttar meine kuch nahi kehna, a-aur tu aise kyun pouch raha hai? Balke sawal toh mujhe pouchna chahiye! Yeh ladki yahan par kya kar rahi hai?! Tujhe yaad hai na issne humare parivaar ki izzat ke saath kya kiya tha! Tujhe itna barha dhoka diya tha, chod ke chali gayi thi tujhe! Aur aab! Wapis kyun aagai hai yeh!?

Ahaan clenched his fists tightly, leaving marks on his palms. He couldn't believe how conveniently his grandmother was lying, if he didn't already know the truth he would have fallen for whatever she was saying again. 

Ahaan: Dadi, aap kehti hai na ke jhoot bolne ki aadat aadmi ko galat raaste pe dal deti hai...he paused and Dadi hesitantly nodded. "Phir aap itna jhoot kyun bolti hai?" 

Dadi: Ah-Ahaan puttar! Aye tu ki keh raha hai!? Yeh koi tarika hai baat karne ka! she tried to sound confident but fear was eating her from the inside. 

Ahaan: Dadi aap shukar kijiye ke abhi mein sirf baat kar raha houn! Kyunke jo aapne kiya hai usske baad aapko yahan nahi balke jail mein hona chahiye! he raised his voice as he stood up from the sofa, unable to control his anger anymore. 

Dadi turned to Ishqi, "Aye ladki! K-Kya jhooti kahani sunnai hai tu ne mere pote ko!?" 

Ishqi: Dadi ji, jhooti kahaniyaan meine nahi aapne sunnai hai saab ko, woh bhi bhar bhar ke! she snapped. 

Dadi: Chup kar tu! A-Aur Ahaan, tu mere saath chal! she stood up from the couch and was about to go to her room when Kartik said, "Dadi! Agar aapne waqai mein kuch nahi kiya aur kuch nahi kehna toh please! bhabhi aur bhai ko bolne dou!" 

Dadi: Chup kar khotte! A-

Ritu Chachi cut her off, "Mummy Ji, Kartik sahi keh raha hai...aur jinhone galat nahi kiya hota unhe darne ki bhi koi zaroorat nahi hoti! Ishqi ko baatane dijiye na, aap kyun darr rahi hai!" 

Dadi: Par yeh ladki jhoot bolegi aur mein nahi chahati k-

Ishqi cut her off and said, "Har insaan ko aapki tarah jhoot bolne ki aadat nahi hoti, Dadi Ji." she cleared her throat. "Aur pura saach mujhe bhi Ahaan se pata chala hai...mein jhoot kaise bol sakti houn?" 

Ahaan, who'd been standing a few feet away from Dadi, tightly holding Ishqi's hand, took a step forward. His emotions and feelings taking a complete toll on him,"Dadi, meine apne liye life mein sirf ek cheez chahi thi....Ishqi. Mein bohot pyaar karta houn usse, bohot zyada, usske saath hone par mujhe khushi milti hai....Aur aap yeh baat jaanti thi ke mein aur Ishqi saath mein kitne khush hai..lekin phir bhi, phir bhi aapne hum dono ko alag karne ke liye ek jhoote affair mein phaansa diya Ishqi ko!" he revealed and the rest of the family members gasped, they knew Ishqi wasn't the one to betray and that too someone she loved beyond measure.
