Trisha's POV
Last night I didn't told anybody about what happened.Even I didn't found Ranaji after that.This morning also I haven't seen him in the room. So I just get ready because Abhinav bhai will be coming anytime to pick me up.

So I went down stairs.Maasa asked me whether I am ok, I just nodded with a small smile.
Abhinav Bhai also came so we were about to leave when Nikka stopped us and said Aren't you going to tell what you did last night.

Author's POV
The main hall is abuzz with the arrival of family members.Lalita, Nagendra ,Kailash Shekhawat and Kaushiki Shekhawat are seated at the head of the room. Abhinav,Trisha and Evara stands near them, looking concerned. Nikka stands by the large wooden table, a malicious smile playing on her lips.

Nikka:(holding her phone) I have something important to show everyone. This concerns the honor of the family.

She displayed the photo on Screen which is in  center of the room. The image shows Trisha in an intimate embrace with another man.(More like the man is kissing Trisha on the neck,both the faces are not visible)

Lalita,Kailash and Nagendra:(frowning deeply) What is this, Nikka?

Nikka: (feigning sadness) I found captured this photo last night from the Royal Engagement. It appears she has been unfaithful to Rishi.

Gasps and murmurs fill the room as everyone turns to look at the photo.

Kaushiki: (voice trembling) Trisha, is this true?

Trisha:(calmly) This photo is not what it seems. Please, let me explain.

Lalita :(sternly) Trisha, you owe us an explanation.

Trisha:(taking a deep breath) This man is an old rival from US.This photo was taken completely out of context.

Nikka:(scoffing) Convenient story, Trisha. But why would you be in such an embrace with him if it was innocent?

Lalita and Nagendra: (looking conflicted) Trisha, I want to believe you, but this photo... it’s damning.

Trisha: (pleading) dadisa dadusa you know me. You know our love. This is a manipulation. Someone wants to ruin our relationship.

Kailash:(nodding thoughtfully) It does seem too convenient. Nikka, how did you come across this scene?

Nikka: (hesitating) I... I was just passing by the back entrance when I saw and clicked.

Kaushiki : (suspiciously) On the back entrance, or someone wants to defame Trisha.

Nikka:No Trisha and Rishi are just in a marriage for the families sake.Moreover Rishi wants to marriage me.(She has seen Rishi entering the hall so said) you can ask Rishi about it

Lalita:Is it true?

Rishi :yes dadisa (just looking at the photo )

Abhinav looks at Rishi and said- don't you want to say something.

Rishi,: there is nothing left to say.More over I am leaving for Andaman Islands due to some emergency, I'll be unreachable due to network inconvenience.

Saying this he left.

Trisha:(tearfully) I didn't did this bhai trust me I didn't.

Evara:Bhabhi we know that you didn't.

Kaushiki and Kailash:hugged her and kissed her on forehead.

By this time Abhinav have got the footage and photos from other angles which he have put (hidden cameras)

Abhinav: Everyone please look at this.

In that it was clearly visible that it was not Trisha's fault but someone has plotted the scene just to click a photo like that .

After this everyone said sorry to Trisha.

Trisha(tearfully):It's ok you all are my elder, you can scold me as well. But I am going to give divorce to Ranaji after he comes back...I want him to be happy.You people will always be my family,thank you for everything.

Kaushiki and Kailash are in tears but let Trisha go...also told Evara to go with her, and take care of her.

Rishi's POV

When I enter I saw everyone looking at something and dadisa asked is it true ?..I said yes and that time abhinav said- don't you want to say something...I just replied by saying there is nothing more to say. And left from there.

It's not like I hate Trisha or I don't believe her but I have to do this ,this is the best thing I can do for her.By doing this she will be free from this forces inconvenient marriage and can live a happy life with her special person.

And I walked of there because I can't she her crying, she was looking cute in that outfit.And if everything was good between us like a normal couple then maybe I would have kissed her on her nose and took her in my embrace but I just can't.

Maybe my love, care will not be able to protect her but separation from me can definately will protect her.

So that is it for the chapter guys, let me know if you like it or not.
