Aarav wandered the halls after college, his usual routine. Suddenly, he heard whispering from behind a door. He pressed his ear against it.
"I just need to slip this paper in Bhabhi's room. The Maheshwari will be heartbroken when they see it explode." Aarav's eyes widened. What was Bua planning? The doorknob jiggled and Sejal emerged, a triumphant smile on her face.
"Is she really divorcing her husband?" Aarav grinned. "I'll ask Fufa ji for a party!" he thought to himself, then wandered off.
For days, he'd noticed his mother and Sejal talking in hushed tones, but he never learned the topic. One day, he lay in bed playing on his phone while Karuna folded his clothes. Sejal snuck into the room, making Aarav frown.
"What's up, Bua? Did you steal your Saas's necklace?" Aarav teased. Karuna glared at him, and Sejal plastered on a fake smile. Karuna approached Sejal.
"What's going on? Do you need something?" Karuna whispered.
"I saw lawyers in the hall. Manish bhaisaab must have called them," Sejal said.
"Probably just company business," Karuna shrugged, continuing her work.
"They were talking about the other Maheshwari house. They included Nishant, maybe they're giving it to him." Sejal said desperately
"Really? Wow! We can spend weekends there with Bhai!" Aarav interrupted.
"Aarav, they're planning to put it in Nishant's name. It'll be owned by your dear brother Nishant and his wife," Sejal smiled.
"So what? We can still go! Ved and I can surprise him, and while returning back we will steal there chungu mungu ," Aarav giggled, returning to his game.
"Aarav is Nishant's shadow, just like Tripal Bhai. He'll end up as just another employee of the company. I feel sorry for him," Sejal said with disappointment before leaving the room, a smirk playing on her lips.
"Why are you lying, Aarav? Why would I do that? I just showed her the Maheshwaris' true colors," Sejal snapped.
"So, it was your plan all along? And what 'true colors' are you talking about? The fact that both Manish Maheshwari and Tripal Maheshwari give gifts to their sisters every Rakhi and expect this in return?" Aarav challenged.
"They ruined my life by forcing me to marry that man I don't even love! That's why I planned everything and made that fake paper. What's wrong with that?" Sejal screamed before a slap landed on her face.
"Bhabhi!" Sejal whimpered, looking at Karuna in disbelief.
"Mar gayi Bhabhi! You forged a document and dared to steal the stamp! How could you? You made me turn against everyone!" Karuna yelled.
"I'm just as guilty as you. That doesn't change the fact that I cursed Nishant." Karuna's voice softened, then everything blurred. She collapsed to the ground, leaving everyone stunned.
"Maa!" Aarav screamed.
The doctor emerged after checking Karuna. The family rushed to him.
"How is she, doctor?" Tripal asked urgently.
"She's okay for now. She just needs some rest. It was a shock. Please take care of her," the doctor instructed.
Everyone returned to their rooms. Silence hung heavy in the air, filling every corner of the house - the kitchen, garden, hall, and drawing room. Everyone was battling their own demons. Swastika threw Sejal out of the house, forbidding her return.
"I don't want to be like her, Sarthak. I don't want to cause any problems for my brothers. I love them," Ananya said restlessly. Sarthak cupped her face.
"I believe you. Your brothers believe you, Ananya. You won't disappoint them," Sarthak smiled, pulling her into a hug. She rested her head on his chest, worry etched on her face.
"Where did we go wrong? I never expected this. I never wanted problems or separation of my family," Manish said worriedly. Saraswati placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Everyone knows you would never do such a thing, Manish ji," Saraswati soothed.
"Tripal was always more like my son, a..and Aarav I bought all his wish true, cherished him more than my sons, why would karuna will feel like that " Manish fretted.
"Sejal manipulated her with those lies. It was a misunderstanding. Now, everything is alright," Saraswati assured him, though a flicker of doubt lingered in her own eyes.
"Will everything truly be alright?" Manish questioned, his voice heavy with worry.
"Everything will be alright," Saraswati repeated, her voice firm but lacking conviction.
"We built this family with our own hands, nurtured it with love," Narayan began, his voice heavy. "Today, what we witnessed has shaken my faith in its foundation."
"Time has revealed many truths to us," Swastika added. "But I always prayed I wouldn't see this day. Perhaps fate has other plans."
"You came to this house with dreams of a happy family, Nishant," Preeti said softly, turning to face him. "I failed to deliver on that promise."
"I am a part of this family, and I have the right to stand by them through everything," Nishant replied, cupping her face. "We don't need a perfect garden. We'll walk this path together, for our family."
They lay in bed, bathed in the dim light of night. Sleep eluded them all. Guilt, hurt, and anger lingered on their faces. Rooh turned away, but Ved just looked at her, a flicker of guilt in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Aarav battled his own demons, unleashing his anger on a punching bag. He replayed the day's events in his mind, blaming himself for everything. his family's distress, and his mother's harsh words echoed in his head. His phone buzzed. It was Priya, but he considered ignoring it. but she remains stunned.
"You don't have to explain anything, Aarav," Priya said before he could speak. "I just called to check on you. I know this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find another reason to reach out. You must be angry and frustrated, and my words won't help. But before you yell at me, please hear me out. Forgive her. She understands what your brother means to you. Everyone makes mistakes." Priya waited for a response, but Aarav simply hung up. She sighed and set her phone down. Nidhi patted her back reassuringly.
"He needs time. He'll be okay," Nidhi promised. Priya leaned into her for comfort.
