   Author's pov

    Aryan went to Aisha who was looking like a senseless person , it broke his heart into several pieces ,her eyes were devoid while tears were rolling down without any break.

    Kabir went to do the formalities so that they could take Neelam for last rites and rituals.

     Aryan helped Aisha to stand on her legs and supported her limp body , they all sat in the ambulance and went to the funeral site (shamshaan)...

     Aditi was trying to call her parents but seemed like they both were too busy and didn't pick her call.

     The pandit helped them in performing the necessary rituals , when it was time to lit the fire to Neelam's dead body that was placed on pile of wooden logs with flowers around her neck Aisha broke down completely.

    " Aisha... Please pull yourself together , maa will be sad if she saw you crying like this." Aryan said cupping her face , Kabir wiped her eyes and Aditi nodded at her while Karan brought a wooden log with fire burning at it's one end.

     Aisha's hands were shaking , how could she lit her mother's body... And if she did then her maa will leave her for forever... Nothing will be left behind.

    More tears rolled down her eyes as she shook her head frantically.

    Aryan wrapped his hand around her shoulder and supported the wooden fire log in their hands.

    After they lit Neelam's jeetha , Aisha cried for a long time infront of the burning funeral.

    " Aishu let's go home...hmm.." Aditi said and kissed Aisha's forehead , Aisha hugged Aditi tightly.

    " Di... Maa left me alone." Aisha cried once again in her sister's embrace.

    " Aishu , buaa is watching you , me and all of us... Don't cry baacha , let's go home."

    Aditi helped Aisha in sitting inside the car and they drove to Aditi's mansion.

     Aditi doesn't want to leave her little sister alone anymore , so she has decided that from now Aisha will be living with her and her parents.

    The three guys dropped them at Aditi's mansion and went back reluctantly , they had to prepare a small meal ceremony on Neelam's name and distribute it to poor people.

     Aditi took Aisha to her bedroom and helped her in getting fresh.

    After getting fresh Aditi was sitting on her bed and Aisha was laying on Aditi's lap while tears were rolling down her eyes continuously. Aditi was slowly patting Aisha's head to make her sleep for sometime.

    After few minutes Aditi's parents barged in her bedroom.

   " Mom.. dad.."

   Aisha also sat up with tears pouring down her eyes after seeing her mama mami...

   " Mom dad... This is our Aisha , Neelam buaa's daughter , Neelam buaa had an accident and she is no more..." Aditi told her parents with moist eyes and choked words.

    " So you brought this filthy poor girl here... Aditi how can you..!" Aditi's mom said with a disgusted look on her face .

    Aditi was speechless , how could her parents be so cruel. Whereas Aisha who was waiting for her mama mami to console her just announced her as filthy... not their family anymore.

    " Mama.." Aisha called out in her broken voice and looked at her mama who had very similar features to her mother.

    " Listen I don't have any sister anymore , so I don't have anything to do with you either... Leave my house now."
