At the living room,
All the members were gathered in the drawing room including Mike and Niko. Everyone was waiting for Harsh's words so that they can proceed with a peaceful life. The Mehta couple looked towards Niko and were mesmerized by the girls pretty face, but they also wanted to know who is she and what's her relation with their son.
Harsh moved his eyes and saw his daughter his beloved daughter whom he has been taking care since she was born. He held her for the first time when she was just two days born baby. He called her out
" Niko mera bacha come to papa don't you miss me, I have a big surprise for you today." Harsh said while Niko ran to him and he picked her up kissing her chubby cheeks which were red like tomato. Everyone on the scene were stunned except Tiya and Mike.
The Mehta couple looked at each other and then at the father daughter duo hugging and kissing each other. Abhishek who was listening to everything was now worried about Tiya and he side hugged her as if giving her support silently while standing beside her. Tiya smiled slightly at him but her smile didn't reach the real one.
Gayatri who was first worried about her son's life a while back, now was fuming in anger. She never thought her son would do something like this. She felt like as if her years of mannerism taught to her sons were all in vain. Now she understand why Tiya was so tensed and crying. Gayatri moved towards Harsh and both the father daughter duo looked up to Gayatri, Harsh seemed to expect this so his face turned expressionless.
Gayatri looked at Niko and smiled while taking her in her arms, " Bacha can we talk to your....father for a while do you want to rest in room till then?" Gayatri spoke with so much care that Niko felt that she was good and she nodded. Harsh faced towards Mike and he took her to a guest room and came back after settling her.
Gayatri who was waiting for the child to leave now looked at Harsh came towards him and gave him a tight slap....." You broke my trust today.......Harsh." Everyone was stunned looking at Gayatri's rage. The most was Harsh because his maa has never hit him never ever and today......but he was not angry. He smiled at her and Gayatri seemed to flare up and shouted at him,
" Tell me Harsh who is the mother of that child, did I educate like this so that you can play with woman's feelings. Have you ever thought what would that girl think, what will the mother of that child think, what will....Tiya think?" Gayatri looked at Tiya guiltily and she cried hysterically now. Harsh wanted to support his mother but he was stopped by her and instead of him Tiya went and held her while she held Tiya and cried.
" Tiya forgive me I have done the greatest sin in my life marrying you to my son. Bacha maa never knew this do you trust me?" Gayatri said while worried for Tiya's answer. She continued and said, " Don't worry Tiya I will beat him into a pulp and also I will help you divorce him. I will see who dares to stop me I cant let you suffer in this marriage so we will do as you wish bacha ok?"
Tiya looked at Gayatri and then at Harsh who was angry after hearing his mother's words, " I will never divorce Tiya get this fixed in your mind everyone, I will never leave her even if its you maa who is forcing me to do." Harsh said controlling his anger as he cant burst at his own maa.
" Do you think I will listen to you after what you did to us, you betrayed me and Tiya's trust. I will never forgive you for this move of yours." Gayatri said with blood shot eyes. Tiya looked at both the mother and son and she had enough of everyone's advice now, she looked at Gayatri and said,
" Maa I know you are being emotional now but before taking any decision I want to hear what Harsh has to say to me, I want to trust him for the last time now, do you support me Maa?" Tiya said looking at Gayatri and then Harsh who had a smile on his facing and an emotion which could not be detected by her......was it love no it might be her illusion she thought and she said looking at him,
