YRKKH GEN 4 - OS/TS/SS

Breaking Free - Part I

Author's Note: This three shot will start from the scene where Rohit is trying to run away from the house again, abhira trying to stop him, armaan coming there and rohit calling him 'sautela' {ps - i don't watch the show on a regular basis, so there might be some differences, please bear with me}.

Rohit [pushes armaan] - Dadisa was right, you are my step brother

Armaan is going to fall because of the impact of the push and is protected by Abhira who catches him in the nick of time. The entire family gets shocked hearing this and Dadisa smirks a little. Tears flow out of Vidya's eyes and Madhav and Abhira glare at Rohit with fury.

Madhav [angry] - Rohit, how dare you raise your hand on your brother.

Rohit - He is not my brother, dad. He is not my blood. He is a traitor. A liar. A cheater.

Madhav raises his hand to slap Rohit but is stopped by Dadisa.

Dadisa - Madhav, how dare you raise your hand on my grandson.

Madhav - And it was okay when he was raising his hand on Armaan? Armaan is your grandson too right? Or have you forgotten that?

Armaan - Dad please, I can fight my own battles, there is no need for you to get into this.

Madhav - No Armaan, enough is enough. The family has gotten away with years and years of ill treating you.

Vidya - What are you talking about Madhav Ji?

Dadisa - Yes Madhav, what do you mean? We have given Armaan everything, even though he has the blood of that gold digger.

Abhira - How can you talk about Shivani Maa in that way Dadisa, she is Armaan's mother.

Vidya - Abhira! Don't speak in between elders.

Manisha - Abhira is right Bhabisa and so is Madhav Bhaisa.

Dadisa [glares at Manisha] - Shut up Manisha.

Manisha [murmuring] - I will stay quiet today Maasa, but I have a feeling that today some people are not going to stay quiet.

Rohit - I have decided that if Armaan is going to stay in this house, then I am not.

Abhira - What is this stupidity Rohit. You are saying all this because you are upset right now, but you have no right to talk to and about my husband like this. No one else other then Papa are taking a stand for him, but his wife is going to stand right by his side.

Armaan looks at Abhira with gratitude and love. Meanwhile, Vidya and the rest of the family members look down, too ashamed to meet Armaan's eyes.

Dadisa - Ey Ladki, don't speak in the matters of this house. You are not family and you should not interfere in family matters.

Madhav - I consider her as my family.

Manisha, Manoj and Chorus Gang (except Charu) - Us too.

Abhira looks dejected as Vidya does not say anything. She feels anger towards Vidya, for not taking a stand for her and Armaan, after everything they have been through. Maybe Madhav is right, Vidya never truly accepted Armaan.

Armaan - Abhira is my wife and no matter what anyone says, she will always be my wife.

Rohit [scoffs] - The same wife that you were cheating on? The same wife that you were ready to forget and marry again? I can't believe Abhira Bhabhi has forgiven you. I can never forgive you.

Abhira - Armaan never had an affair with Ruhi while we were married and for your information your dearest Dadisa and Mom have emotionally blackmailed Armaan to marry his presumed dead brother's widow. Right Dadisa and Ma?
