This update is purely dedicated to all my loyal and genuine readers, who always kept supporting my story.♥️♥️

Roopali eyed at her daughter who is seething in anger,
" will you keep cursing or will say what happened?" She said making Sakshi to look at her.
" she is coming!" Sakshi spatted, Roopali didn't understand whom she is addressing, " who?" She asked.
" that leech, who sucked out our happiness, that Mrinali is coming" she gritted her teeth.
Roopali eyes became wide in shock and she immediately stood up, " why she is coming now, Ranvijay just came to know the truth, if she comes she will manipulate him" she worried.
" let her come maa, this time she won't win, because bhai is not that stupid to support her even after knowing the truth, I trust him" she said with full assurance, but Roopali Is still worried.

Rajveer is waiting for Piyali's response, he is walking here and there in tension.
Hasmukh brought tea for him, he immediately lifted the cup and gulped the tea down, which is simmering hot.
" sahab!" Hasmukh Gasped,
Rajveer stared at him with questioning eyes.
" the tea is very hot, but you gulped down at once!" He expressed his concern, Rajveer realized it and pursed his lips.
" I will bring something cold for you sahab", saying so Hasmukh immediately ran from there.

Rajveer stared at Piyali's room, he didn't even paid attention to the continuous ringing of the telephone, it kept ringing but he didn't budged, finally it fall silent as someone answered the call.

Sakshi and Roopali came there and find him looking at Piyali's room, they didn't understand why he is doing so.
Hasmukh came and gave something which can soothe Rajveer's throat, and left.
" are you okay bhaiyya?" Sakshi asked, he became stiff hearing her, he find his sister and mother looking at him confused.
He felt embarrassed, he rubbed back of his neck and said " I'm fine, just..you know.." Before he can complete his sentence Ranvijay came there.

" maa, Mrinali is coming" he said, " how you know ?" Roopali immediately asked as no one informed him about her visit, " I got a call " he simply replied with a straight face, no one can able to decipher his emotions.
" did you thought about, what I had said to you" she asked.
He nodded in yes and said " you all have done a mistake, by keeping me unaware of the truth maa, Sakshi you feel Piyali as your friend right then atleast  you could have told me the truth.
And you Rajveer, what's wrong with you, You even helped her in studying then why didn't you informed me about her being innocent, even uncle also did said anything to me.
I made her suffer all the while"

" I always gave you a hint bhai, that she is not the culprit but you never tried to understand it." Sakshi said, " yes bhai, even I too tried saving her from your wrath always, but I'm unable to say the truth because of maa" Rajveer said.

" maa?" Ranvijay frowned, " yes" Rajveer replied.
Roopali speak " I felt if you know the truth you will get hurt, because you loved her so much, and also what if Piyali comes to know the truth, she will be heartbroken thinking her own sister backstabed her.
My fear of these things stopped me from saying the truth to you"

Her eyes brimmed, " Vijay, we always said she is not your culprit, you never heard us! you became stubborn in believing she is the reason for your plight, why you didn't listened to us?"

" I became so blind in anger maa, it is my fault " he stopped gulping down the bubbling sadness.

" but she suffered all these years being an innocent!
maa if you had told me exact truth, and happenings of that fateful day, Instead of saying she is not the culprit,
I might had trusted, because I know my maa you always speaks truth.
I'm the culprit now, how can I face her" he whinned.
