Sidharth is busy working in the study room when kushal stormed in without knocking the door. He questionably, raises an eyebrow "what's wrong ?" sidharth casually asks ignoring facial expressions clearly displaying rage on kushal's face "don't you know, come on sidharth, you can't fool me !" how can he hide the truth from shehnaaz about her so called parents and until when was he planning to keep it hidden, under the cover.

"Shut up and come to the point !" sidharth spoke, unable to handle curiosity building inside him.

"When did you know that shehnaaz's parent were faking to be her family ?" kushal questions due to which sidharth stands up in astonishment.

"If you had an idea then why didn't you tell her ? All this while, she was going nuts after her mom who was shamelessly claiming to have cancer to make a fool out of her and grab as much as cash possible until she turns 18, like every-other girl, she was going be the substitute of earning some amount of money that too after reaching the age of 18, she'd be sold off for huge amount of cash !

How ruthless and heartless of them !

They have been running this business from quiet a long time. You knew it, why didn't you tell her ?

At-least, she wouldn't have escaped or requested one of her friend's to look after her fake mother !

Because of those bastards, she lost a true friend !

It's all your fault man, why is it that every time u have to hide the goodness in you to display most monstrous and heartless side of yours.

You should have told her the truth !

She wouldn't have developed hatred against you.

If not love, she could have at-least seen the good in you.

I know that your not a bad person that you enjoy portraying in front of the world. She should have been informed. It's her right dude because of you she pleaded me to help her out, when I went over there receptionist informed me that there was no such person presently admitted. I went ahead for doing my research, when I came across her mom.
That evil lady, was gambling in one of your clubs. She was perfectly fine, and drinking like a bitch !"
kushal narrates the conversation feeling sick and disgusted of their plans of trapping another poor innocent girl from road.
She deserves to know her parents are fraud & no tear should be shed upon them." it's their way of earning money & putting innocent people under immense guilt, shame and resentment.

"That's enough, how dare you do something that she wished, without telling me ?" sidharth asked losing temper, pounced upon him.

"You went against our rules and on top of it very smartly did research over them." he says pulling his collar "I had to she was helpless !" somehow, managed to speak "who are you to help her with out my consent ?" sidharth questions getting too infuriated because he doesn't approve his people doing anything without his knowledge.

Those people can't be trusted "I am your brother she's someone who means a lot to you sidharth !" kushal states, spitting facts "she doesn't, I didn't tell her because her mother is all I have to use as a sharp weapon against her." sidharth lied, can't take tag of good boy, all he owns is a tag of devil.

Deep inside, he paid shehnaaz's father not to buy her but to protect from being sold some where in the black market, whenever anybody would bid a huge amount of money.

They were desperately, looking for the rich men's that's when he decided to buy her after all he was possessed by her innocent beauty. He didn't have the courage to burst her bubble already was heart broken from her father's betrayal.

If she would've been aware of the entire situation then she would've been miserably shattered.

He didn't want it to come out, even over his dead body.

She won't be able to handle and not everybody in this world, deserved betrayal like him, from their own families.

He wills to protect her fragile heart from ripping apart.

He wants to protect her innocence.

He doesn't know why but wants every problem in this world to face him before hitting her.

"Great, what a fucking loser you are Sidharth !" a very loud and hurtful voice came from the back.

She enters the room while clapping and shedding tears pitying herself for having no one by her side except her shadow which has no meaning, no self worth because the kind of identity with which she was living, has now been mercilessly destroyed in to ashes "how dare you hide it from me ?" grabs a hold of his collar in rage and disgust.

"How can you even stoop down so low even after knowing everything you kept me under darkness for your own fucking benefit." she screamed, her body was shaking in aggression.

He tried to hold her but she pushed him away in disgust "I am sick of you .. you disgust me really who gave you the right to hide things from me ?" she yells, smashing his laptop across the wall "It shouldn't surprise me yet I am here asking you a question .. don't you have a heart .. Is it dead ??" she cries, unable to stand, leans against the wall.

He tries to touch but she doesn't let him "just to blackmail and play with my emotions you hid it. Sidharth, I beg you please don't test me hold me here .. cage me forever .. I won't utter a word, do what pleases you but for heaven sake don't come close to me .. I just hate your sight it disgusts me. Your worse than my name sake parents !" kushal interrupts "shehnaaz, don't believe him ... he has a good heart but he won't accept it." she denies it isn't her headache to see through him.

"Shut up, you don't have to give her justifications on my behalf .. I am responsible for my actions & yes I don't have a heart." sidharth told, angrily as he doesn't wish to soften and weaken himself.

"You say .. he has a good heart, Is that what good means in your dictionary ?" she asks, letting tear of sorrow freely roll down.

"I am his best friend since childhood I have seen both the good and bad in him. I am not gonna be sitting here, justifying his act completely as there are truly some qualities that can't be ignored.

To be honest, he was a great soft hearted child as years passed by he started getting bitter and rude I can't really open up regarding his life to you but since I want to clarify his stupidity ... I assure you  he has a good heart ... he silently, does a lot for us  the people working for him ... he's tough from the outside but inside just a stubborn broken kid who lost his childhood, and became way too mature to survive in this world, he won't accept, he hid your truth to protect you else a person like him doesn't need reasons to hold you captive, has tendency to do anything without picking your weak points." it made her speechless.

"I don't know about you but for him you are very special, someone he doesn't wanna see shattered look he made unforgivable sins but there is some reason behind his devilish personality a very sad, hurtful past that snatched away his innocence." a very regretful kushal left providing her strength.
