Simran nodded.
Simran: Your look mom? Like last time when we meet years ago. You were perfect. Now, there are few visible scars and bruises are there even after treatment, right? When we met there was nothing. How?
Avneet (sighed): I used to make up to cover everything from you. I knew if you will see my devasted state. You will be worry, stressed. So, I used to cover it.
Simran: You are not Sona Kaur but Avneet kaur?
Siddharth: Avneet Nigam.
Simran nodded. She asked all the possible questions she has in mind. All the things were clear that Avneet isn't lying. She sighed.
Siddharth (holding his ears): Papa is really very sorry for not protecting you from Elvish, not being with you when you need me. Not showering that love and care for which you were craving but I promise. Now, you won't be alone.
Simran hug him, crying badly.
Simran: I don't know if you are my father or not but you are first person who made me feel like I am worth of love and care which I never got. I'm not criminal who always gets hate and heart breaks.
He let her cry for some minutes. Avneet was also sobbing.
Siddharth: Tomorrow we are going for DNA test?
Simran: Yes... I want proof.
Siddharth: Hmm... You want to be lawyer?
Simran (confused): Hmm?
Siddharth: Your interrogation, trying to cover every possible aspect to make sure Avneet isn't lying.
Simran (shooking her head): No...
Avneet: Okay... now listen to me. From tomorrow Ruhi is joining school. So, you have to be with her and help her please.
Simran nodded.
Siddharth: I know you need sometime to accept everything. But always remember your mom, dad are waiting for you to come and join them. So, that we can complete our family.
Simran smiled with tears in her eyes. She looked at Avneet and nodded. It's like a dream for her to live with parents.
Siddharth: You should leave now. Warden will scold or else.
Simran bid them bye and left for her room. Siddharth and Avneet for home.
