AUTHOR'S POV

Every single member of Rathore Family was present in the Hall, Waiting for aviraj to come back with Diya. He informed them About their whereabouts, Saying he is going to the Hospital first as diya needs the Medical attention. Ruhanika and Ishita even asked him if He needs any help there which he Declined and asked all of them to Stay back at home.

It was around two hours after that phone call when Aviraj entered the Haveli Holding Diya, helping her in walking. Ishita was the first one who ran to them and Helped Diya to the Couch before she pulled her into a Hug.

"Mera baccha, Aise kon karta hai!? Pata hai kitna Dar gaye the sab." Her voice cracked by the end of her sentence as Tears slipped carelessly from her eyes. Diya winced a little as she hugged Ishita back.

"Maa." She mumbled as a Sigh escaped through her lips. Maa, The comfort she felt in her Mother in law's arms was something she have been craving for since years.

"I am fine maa, I had to do this." Ishita frowned at her words as she slowly pulled back from the hug. Aviraj's gaze went to Abhimanyu who was standing there with a Stoic expression. Ofcourse He have grasped the situation by now but He didn't told the family. Diya is a Raw agent and there is a Possibility her mission isn't completed, It was every single person's responsibility be it Aviraj or Abhimanyu to protect her identity.

"Why? And Why didn't you tell us about your parents bacche? Who was that person?" Diya's gaze went to Aviraj.

"Maa, Let's leave this. Diya abhi Ghar aayi hain thoda aaraam kar lein- Aviraj started but Ruhanika cuts her off as She walked to Diya, She sat down infront of her. Taking Diya's hands in hers.

"Diya, Is it true? And you know what I am asking about. Is This true diya? Did you lied to us all?" Ruhanika asked Diya as calmly as She could, The Whole Family have Started Loving Diya, and If She have Actually lied to them, They will Get hurt. She wanted to know her reasons.

"Bhabhi, I.."

"I knew Bhabhi ma, I knew about all this. Diya told me the Truth before we got married." Diya looked behind her when she heard Her Husband, The Guy who had nothing to do with all this mess supporting her, Even after knowing she lied to them, to him.

"I knew it all." Aviraj spoke to which Diya shook her head.

"It's Okay Avi, I am comfortable in telling everyone the truth and I trust everyone." Aviraj just looked down, Somewhere he didn't wanted to hear that this marriage was just a Part of Her mission.

"I did bhabhi. I lied. I am really sorry for lying but I am not sorry for the Decision I took, Infact it's the only best decision I took in my whole life."
She looked at Aviraj with a Emotion he couldn't understand while Forwarding her hand in his direction. Aviraj was Fast to grab her hand in his as he took a Seat beside her. Everyone settled on the couch letting Diya take her time.

"I have never had a Nice family. Ofcourse now I have a perfect one but Ever since birth I have just scene fights and Arguments between my parents. My father was a Drunkard, Who always drank and Abused my mother. And Once I was Six, That Abuse turned in my direction as well. Though His brother, My Uncle always used to protect my Mother. But since my mother and him never knew he was abusing me they were not able to save me. I am not sure they would have if they knew though." A dry chuckle escaped through her lips before she shook her head.

"But I accepted it, It was my fate and it was supposed to happen like this. But I guess it wasn't enough. When I turned seventeen, On my birthday. I got to know about my father being involved with A Drug dealer. My mother and him were fighting that day, She was screaming at him that She won't sell her body to anyone for A Criminal. But I guess he had called him already to take his payment. Devarshi, It was him. He entered in our house with his Men. Who were throwing everything, Destroying the house, Trying to Force themselves at my Mother. I wanted to protect my maa. So I ran downstairs, Catching everyone's eye, his eye. He tried  to get a Hold of me but He couldn't at first which Enraged him because Next thing I knew. He killed him, Killed my parents. My Excuse of a father and My Mother." A gasp escaped Ishita's lips while Aviraj wrapped his arms around Diya.
