Saanjh: Bound by love and revenge

Web of Lies

*Scene: Nehaal Confrontation*

The room was heavy with tension, and the silence seemed almost deafening until a sharp sound broke through- *SLAP!*

Bhuvan (with anger shaking in his voice): Is this what we taught you? I feel disgusted... You literally raped a girl!

Nehaal (staggering back, eyes wide with shock): No, I didn't do anything! I-I can never do something like this!

Standing at the door, a figure loomed, and everyone turned to see it was Ahaan-Maahi's brother.

Ahaan (his voice filled with restrained fury): Stop lying! The hotel manager told me everything. You pulled her inside the room. You were totally drunk! I even saw the CCTV footage, and I showed it to your grandparents too.

Nehaal felt his throat tighten, panic seizing him.

Nehaal (stuttering):W-What? But... yes, I pulled her in, but I didn't do anything. There must be some misunderstanding.

Ahaan (voice rising in anger):Oh, please, just stop lying!

*Nehaal's eyes darted around the room, desperately seeking a way out of this nightmare.*

Nehaal (pleading): Just... call your sister. Ask her the truth. I didn't do anything! I don't even remember her face.

Ahaan (almost choking on his words):No, she won't come here. She doesn't want to.

Nehaal (frustrated, almost shouting):Why not? You're blaming me without any proper proof! At least call her! She can have a medical test! Until that's done, you can't accuse me of anything.

Ahaan (adamant):No! My sister won't have a medical test.

Nehaal (growing desperate):Why, huh? Why not-

Before nehaal could say anything, rudra cutted him off while standing near the stairs.

Rudra (authoritative):What the hell is happening here? Why are you all arguing?

*Nehaal looked at him, eyes pleading, while Ahaan's voice broke with emotion.*

Ahaan (his voice trembling, tears threatening to fall): Ask your brother... what he did to my sister. He... he forced her!

*Rudra and Nivyansh froze in shock.*

Rudra and Nivyansh (yelling in unison): WHAT?! What the hell are you saying?!

Nehaal (voice cracking with desperation):
You both trust me, right? I can never do something like this, even in my drunken state!

Nivyansh (firmly): Yes, Bhai, we trust you.

*Before anyone could respond, Nalini entered, her voice sharp and commanding.*

Nalini (sternly):Stop! Your sister will have a medical test, and we will know the truth. Whoever you are, if you think Nehaal did something to your sister, we need proof. She'll have a proper medical examination, and until then, you can't accuse him!

*Ahaan clenched his fists, hating every moment of this but knowing there was no other way.*

( Btw if anyone is thinking that why they didn't recognise eachother, then ahaan doesn't remembers nehaal or rudra as he saw them only for sometime and he never met rudra's grandparents or nivyansh and about nehaal also forgot about ahaan after that night, and rudra or his grandparents never met ahaan so they also don't know him)

*Scene: Maahi's Home*

*At Maahi's home, the atmosphere was heavy with sadness. Maahi sat in a corner, crying uncontrollably, while her brother Ahaan and her sister Ahvi tried to comfort her. Their father, Mr. Sharma, sat silently, tears streaming down his face, his hands trembling.*
