Whispers of Destiny: Unveiling Hearts ✅

|| 17. Courtroom Revelation ||

The entire day was spent in turmoil as everyone awaited the court hearing. Despite their best efforts, Akshara and Arshia couldn't find the proof they needed. With heavy hearts and rising anxiety, the Goenkas prepared to face the court once more.

COURTROOM

The Goenkas entered the courtroom, their last hope pinned on Abhimanyu's testimony. However, as the proceedings began, Abhimanyu was nowhere to be seen.

Samaira: "Your Honor, we are here to defend Akshara against these baseless accusations. We believe the evidence against her has been manipulated."

Manjari's Lawyer: "Your Honor, the facts are clear. Akshara has consistently shown behavior unbecoming of a guardian. We have ample proof of her negligence."

Mr. Kapoor (Manjari's Lawyer): (smirking) "Your honor, the evidence against Akshara is overwhelming. She is unfit to have custody of Abhir."

Samira: (calmly) "Your honor, these accusations are baseless and an attempt to malign my client's reputation."

Mr. Kapoor: "Baseless? We have witnesses who can testify to her negligence."

Samira: "Witnesses who have been influenced, no doubt. We also have character witnesses ready to testify to Akshara's impeccable care and dedication as a mother."

Mr. Kapoor: "Influenced? That's a strong accusation without proof. Can you substantiate it?"

Samira: (firmly) "I will. But first, let's talk about the evidence you claim to have. Where is it?"

Mr. Kapoor: (smirking) "Right here, your honor. A series of messages showing her irresponsible behavior."

Samira: "Messages can be easily fabricated, Mr. Kapoor. We need something more concrete."

Mr. Kapoor: "And what do you have, Ms. Samira? Stories of how she sings lullabies? We need hard facts."

Samira: "And we have those facts. A psychologist's report on the emotional well-being of the child under Akshara's care."

Mr. Kapoor: "Psychologists can be biased. I have medical reports suggesting otherwise."

Samira: "From doctors who are close associates of the Birla family, perhaps? Your honor, this clearly shows a conflict of interest."

Mr. Kapoor: "That's a serious allegation. Are you questioning the integrity of esteemed medical professionals?"

Samira: "I'm questioning the fairness of evidence presented under such circumstances."

Mr. Kapoor: "Fairness? Coming from the side that's been fabricating evidence?"

Samira: "Your honor, these are heavy accusations without substantial proof. We have concrete evidence proving Akshara's capability."

Mr. Kapoor: "Your honor, it's clear who is fit for custody. The Birlas can provide a stable and secure environment."

Samira: "An environment filled with manipulation and deceit, your honor. The child's best interests lie with Akshara."

Mr. Kapoor: "These are mere conjectures. Where's your proof?"

Samira: (smiling) "Patience, Mr. Kapoor. We will reveal it in due course."

Mr. Kapoor: "Your honor, we request an immediate decision based on the evidence we've provided."

Samira: "Your honor, we request a thorough examination of all evidence before a decision is made."
