Remember me

Is this the end of the lying game?

Aarohi rushes through the crowd panting. Her hair flew around her in a mess. Sweat drops adorned her face. Worry and fear etched in her eyes. She could not hear any noise around her.
"I can't afford anyone to know this. My entire plan to get Abhimanyu will flop. I can let my masterplan fail like this." she continuously thought in her mind.

Flashback

Aarohi was fuming with anger when Abhimanyu told her about his decision to cancel their wedding. She couldn't believe her ears. Her entire world seemed to go upside down. Her plan seemed full proof but Nishtha and Shefali ruined it by bringing the video in front of everyone. But nonetheless, she was engaged to Abhimanyu. The only thing she had to do now was to manipulate him into marrying her. She was lost in her thoughts when her phone rang. She looked at the caller name and her heart clenched with fear. She quickly looked at Abhimanyu to see his reaction. But her was lost in his own world. She quickly receives the call. "Aarohi. Today is the last day. You better give me the 3 crore by today or I'll tell your entire family the truth. If you don't want me to do that, meet me i  XYZ park ASAP!" The voice threatened. "N-NO DON'T DO THAT! I'LL BE THERE IN A FEW." She shouted, forgetting  about her surrounding. She quickly hung the call and came back to her senses. She looked at Abhimanyu to find him stating at her with his eyebrows raised and hundreds of questions in his mind. She heard a familiar laugh and her heart pierced at the sound. She saw Abhimanyu going back into his lala land and quickly took the opportunity to get out of the car. "I-I have to go." She quickly said expecting atleast a few questions. "Ok" is all she got. No questions no nothing. "Oh. Ok" is all she could muster up. She quickly ran to mentioned place.

Flashback ends

She quickly reached the park and a lot of memories flooded her mind. It was the same place she and Akshara used to come with Sirat and Karthik. They used to love this park. Kairav would accompany them but not always. Her happy memories slowly turned sour and she wiped a stray tear. "Meri jindagi mein jo bhi ho raha hai, sab uss Akshara ki hi galti hai. Agar 6 saal pehle maine vo kiya tho usse punish karne ke liye. Meri mumma cheen le ushne!! Abhimanyu cheen liya aur ushi ke saath mujhse Neil ko bhi cheen liya!!" she thought and went towards the second entrance of the park.

She saw the outline of a female figure as she approached. Her thoughts vanished and fear entered in her mind again. "Tho tum aagai Aarohi. Bohot time laga diya tumne. Khair koi nahi. I hope that you have brought me my money." the lady said turning around. "Ruby! Kya tum bhi na, mere aate ke saath yeh sabh puch rahi ho. We are friends right? Give me some time and I'll give you your money. You know how Mahima is right. She is keeping a close eye on the spending and she'll get to know if I withdraw 3 crore all of a sudden." Aarohi laughed nervously trying to change the topic. "FIRST OF ALL, WE ARE NOT FRIENDS!! YOU ARE NOTHING FOR ME. Vo tho mein Akshara se nafrat karti thi aur isiliye maine tumhari help ki. I only wanted Abhimanyu for money and fame. Fame tho mujhe mil he raha hai, lekin paisa? I wanted MONEY! Then I came across you and guess what, you were they perfect person for it. You also hated your own sister and wanted revenge. I wanted revenge from her for defaming me and from you, I get money. It's pretty simple you know. I don't care whether Mahima gets to know or not. I want the money today or else..." Ruby warned. "OR ELSE WHAT?? YOU'LL TELL EVERYBODY? REMEMBER, IF YOU DO, I WON'T BE NEEDING TO GIVE YOU ANY MONEY! I'LL MANIPULATE EVERYONE SO THAT THEY BLAME YOU NOT ME. AFTERALL YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF AGAINST ME." Aarohi said now angered. She received a tight slap after that. "KEEP. YOUR. VOICE. DOWN. You are my slave not the other way around. Understand? And, I do have proof. I already gave you a taste of it." she said laughing maniacally. "W-What do you mean??!!" Aarohi asked still in shock. "You must have already seen the truth of your husband's or should I say ex-husband's death. Oh don't give me that shocked face baby. That was me of course. I was the one that paid someone to put the pendrive in Nishtha's bag. Listen, you have two choices. Either you give me the money ASAP or I tell everyone that Roohi is actually Akshara's daughter and you killed her other child as soon as he was born." Ruby warned. Aarohi quickly shushed her and promised to give her the money in bits. Unknown to them, there was someone who secretly recorded everything. "W-WHAT!!?? R-Roohi is Akshu's daughter!! I-I can't believe this. I need to go back and tell  everyone this." she quickly took the kids back home. 

"Shefali! What happened? Why are you sweating so much?! Is there some problem? Tell me, I might be able to help." Mahima exclaimed as she saw her daughter-in-law rushing in with the kids. Shefali had decided to take the kids to play in a nearby park. Akshara had always told her about it and the memories she had there. As it was her first them there, Shefali didn't know which gate to enter from and ended up entering from the back door. The kids found a few other children and ran to play with them. Shefali ran after them to keep an eye on them and then, she spotted Aarohi talking to someone. She decided to hide behind a tree and eavesdrop on her. Shefali never trusted Aarohi and she had a gut feeling that Aarohi was up to something again and started recording the entire conversation. After sometime, she understood that Aarohi was in fact talking to Ruby! The next few revelations shock her from the core. It sent chills down her spine. She could not believe her ears. How can Aarohi be so cruel? She not just separated a mother from her child but even murdered an innocent being. She could no longer be there and quickly called out to children to take them back home. On the way home, she kept on looking at Roohi and saw her resemblance to Akshara. Tears welled in her eyes and her hands shook with fear. After reaching home, she found Nishtha crying on the couch and everyone consoling her. That's when Mahima spotted her. She asked her what was wrong and she wanted to tell everyone the truth. But before that, she asked Nishtha what was wrong who told her that she was falsely accused for bringing drugs to college. Shefali immediately understood that it had to be Aarohi's work. She decided to wait till Abhimanyu and Aarohi came home unknown of the incident happening with Abhimanyu in Singhania mansion.
