As Sharanya came out of the washroom, she saw Ishaan sitting on the floor with a look of shock on his face.

Her heart skipped a beat. She was already not feeling well, and seeing Ishaan like this made her feel even more anxious.

She tried to make her way towards him, but her legs felt like they were made of lead.

She finally reached him and asked in a worried voice,

"Kya hua Ishaan ji, ap aaise kyun behthe hue hain? Sab theek toh hai na?"

"What happened Ishan ji, why are you sitting like this? Everything is fine?

(She was hoping that he would tell her that everything was okay, but instead, he said something that made her heart sink.)

"Apki ek beti hai aur apne mujhe nahi bataya, aur ab ap mujhse puch rahi hain ki sab theek toh hai na."

"You have a daughter and you didn't tell me and now you are asking me is everything alright "

Sharanya felt like she had been punched in the stomach.

She had been so afraid of telling ishaan about her daughter, and now it seemed like her worst fears had come true.

She tried to keep her voice steady as she asked him, "Ap ko kaise pata chala?"

"How did you came know?"

Ishaan looked at her with a mixture of anger and hurt in his eyes . "Zaruri woh nahi hai ki kaise pata chala, zaruri yeh hai ki apne mujhse jhoot bola."

"It is not important how I came to know, it is important that you lied to me."

Sharanya felt like the ground had opened up beneath her. She had never seen ishaan like this before, and she didn't know what to do.

Sharanya felt like the world was closing in on her. She had never felt so helpless before. She knew that Ishaan was right, but she couldn't bring herself to admit it.  "How do you know about it ?" she asked, trying to buy herself some time.

Ishaan looked at her with a mixture of anger and disappointment in his eyes. "It doesn't matter how I know," he said, "what matters is that you've been lying to us for four years." Sharanya felt like she had been caught in a trap.

Yes i know i have been lying from you'll since 4 years out of compulsion. And I'm really sorry for that and trust me i thought that I'll tell you everything after our reception.  Trust you? Are you serious? Ishaan says angrily And now you'll have to tell me everything right now.

Okay i'll tell you everything, listen, Sharanya says, Sharanya took a deep breath and began to speak. "I have a daughter named Sarah," she said, "she was diagnosed with a brain tumor four years ago. I was desperate for help, and I didn't know where to turn i asked help from you and now she is fine but and i left her alone.

(Tears started to roll down Sharanya's cheeks as she spoke.)

"But after the treatment, I had to leave her alone. I had to come back here and be with you.

(Sharanya paused for a moment to collect herself.)

Sidharth isn't alive anymore," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, "we lost him in an accident. I've been trying to hold everything together, but it's been so hard."

Ishaan looked at her with a mixture of shock and sadness.

He was a bit guilty too!

He had no idea that Sharanya had been going through so much. "I'm so sorry," he said, "I had no idea." Sharanya wiped away her tears and looked at him. "It's okay," she said, "I should have told you earlier. I just didn't know how."
