Tears were continuously rolling down Saurav's cheeks remembering those bitter memories which he hid somewhere in his heart. Those beautiful days of his and his family's life turned out to be nightmares.

Flashback

After the divorce, Vibha and Shalini started a small business. Shalini broke all the relations with Sahaj. Aniruddh and Saurav understood whatever took place between their parents but Vidyut only understood his father wasn't a superhero but a villain of their lives. He is the reason for his broken family.

With great difficulties, they resumed their life but their heart wasn't at peace.

Sahaj got married to Sarika. He started his new life with all the happiness.

A few months passed away.

After a few months. It was evening time. Vidyut, Aniruddh, Saurav and Vibha were at home. Shalini was at her work.

Vidyut, Aniruddh, Saurav and Vibha were having evening snacks, boys sharing with their mother about their day. They were happy? No... A big fat no. Aniruddh can look over the pain that his mother's eyes held. She isn't a cheerful, happy soul like before but a Strong soul. Anyone can say she is suffering through emotional pain. Because of this, her health isn't good.

The doorbell rang.

Vidyut (cheerfully): Dadi aayi hai. (Grandma has come)

Saurav (nodded): Main khol aaya door. (I will open the door)

Vibha nodded. Saurav went to open the door. He found Sahaj.

Saurav (mumble): Aap? (You?)

Sahaj (cupping Saurav's face): Kaisa hai mera beta? (How are you, my son?)

Saurav (removing his hands, taking a step back): Aap yaha kyun aaye ho? (Why you are here?)

Sahaj (angrily): Aese baat karte hai apne baap se? (Is this a way to talk with your dad?)

Sahaj held his arm and dragged him inside.

Sahaj (shouting): Ye sab sikha rahi ho tum mere beto ko? Aese baap se baat ki jati hai?

(Sahaj: This is what you are teaching my son? Is this a way to talk with the father?)

Listening to his voice, Vibha trembled. Before she could reply.

Sahaj (drags Aniruddh towards his side): Main apne beto ko tum jaisi aurat ke sath nahi chor sakta.

(Sahaj (drags Aniruddh towards his side): I am taking my kids with me. I can't leave them with a women like you)

Vibha got scared. Vidyut who was on her lap, hid his face in her chest. Vibha wrapped her arms around him.

Aniruddh (angrily): Aap mummy ko blame nahi karo. Aapki galati hai. (Don't blame mom. This is your fault)

Sahaj slapped him hard on his face.

Sahaj (gritting his teeth): Tameez, Izaat dono hi cheeze teri maa tujhe nahi sikha payi par baap ke khilaf kaan jarur bade hai.

(Sahaj (gritting his teeth): Manner, Etiquette she couldn't teach you. But she successfully filled your brain against your father)

Aniruddh's cheek burned because of pain and turned red. Saurav got scared. Vidyut started sobbing but silently. Vibha stood numb from her brain and her body.
