"I will reveal your entire truth to the world."

Priya eyes widened listening to the reason of her father's such decision.

How can her mother do that?

How can she blackmail her father?

How can someone be cruel?

"I am sorry dad, I didn't know. I can never imagine Mom doing such act." Priya said in apologetic tone.

"I am sorry, beta. I couldn't be a good father. I failed miserably. If my truth comes out...." Sooraj was saying when he felt someone's presence at the door. When he looked, he was shocked to see Eklavya and Naina.

Did they hear it?

Of course, the look on their face clearly tell that they heard the entire conversation.

Priya also looked at the door. She didn't know what to speak when her bhaiya and bhabhi were standing and heard their talks.

Eklavya and Naina entered the room. Eklavya came forward to her father and holds his shoulder with both his hands and says,
"Dad, you never failed as a father. You did what was right at the moment. I am not sad that you made Priyank as CEO, he is my brother after all. What happens if we are not born from the womb of the same mother? He still remains my brother. And trust me, I am happy for him, dad. I am not angry at you that you didn't choose me as CEO and I never will be."

"I don't know what good deeds, I had done in my previous birth that I gained such a gem like son." Sooraj happily cried.

"Dad, stop it now. I don't know about you, but I am lucky to have you as my dad." Eklavya said and hugged his father.

"And don't worry, no one will ever come to know about the truth. Let the things work, the way it was working till now." Eklavya said as he released Sooraj from hug.

He smiled at Priya and said,
"You my baby sis, stop being over-dramatic. Your brother can handle everything. You now go home. Rohan must be waiting outside."

"Alright bhaiya, as you say. If you are happy, I am too happy." She hugged Eklavya and Sooraj.

"Okay, I am leaving. Bye and Good night." Priya said and ran out.

But the one who was confused all this while was Naina. She didn't realised what they were speaking. She understood the fact that Sooraj announced Priyank as CEO instead of Eklavya because Reena blackmailed him. But she was unaware about the truth they were trying to hide.

"Eklavya, I think you and Naina should go to your room. It's already too late." Sooraj commanded.

"Yeah dad, we are leaving. Good night." Eklavya said.

"Good night dad." Naina said.

"Good night both of you." Sooraj greeted them back.

As both of them moved out, they found Reena, Priyank and Monali. Reena's expression was calm and composed, while Priyank and Monali looked happier.

"Bhaiya, you didn't congratulated me?" Priyank said as he put salt to Eklavya's wound and Monali softly giggled. Priyank knew that it was Eklavya's dream to become CEO which was shattered by him.

"Congratulations brother......" Eklavya said and hugged Priyank. ".....I am very happy for you." He continued. Priyank didn't hug him back but felt little sad for him.

'I shouldn't have said that. He must have felt bad.' Priyank thought.

Eklavya didn't say anything further and moved towards his room followed by Naina. As he entered the room, he directly moved towards the washroom. Naina sat on the bed reminiscing today's incident. Although she was member of the family, she was clueless about the family.

Can someone tell what's going on?

She heard the washroom's door opening, Eklavya came changing his attire. She thought of freshing up and moved towards washroom without uttering a word to Eklavya. After some minutes, when she came back to room, not before changing into night gown, she found Eklavya at the window staring at the moon.

'How common are we, both like staring at moon.' She thought.

'What are you thinking, Naina? Concentrate and ask for answers which are hidden from you.' Naina told herself.

She moved towards Eklavya and placed her hand on his shoulder. Eklavya turned and fakely smiled.

"Do you even consider me as your friend?" Naina asked.

"Why did you ask me this all of a sudden?" Eklavya asked raising his eyebrows.

"Because I think you don't consider me as your friend, although you said that we are friends on our wedding night."

"What are you saying?"

"Can you tell me what is going on? Dad didn't made you CEO because he was scared that his truth will come out. What truth he was scared to reveal to the world?"

Eklavya listened patiently.

"I know everyone knows about the truth......even Priya. What's the matter? What things are hidden from me, Eklavya? Tell me, why you are quiet? As a part of this family, didn't I have the right to know?"

"Naina, of course, you have right to know. And specially when the truth is related to me. You have all right to know."

Naina was shocked with Eklavya's sudden announcement. The truth is also related to Eklavya?
Eklavya took her near bed and made her sit on it. He sat on it too and holds her hand.

"You must have seen mom's dislike towards me." Eklavya started.

Naina nodded.

"Do you know why she dislike me?"

"I wasn't sure before, but after today's incident, I am sure that she hates you because you are adopted and that's the only reason I can see that she was against of you becoming the CEO."

"Yes, but that's not the entire truth."

"Then what's the entire truth?" Priya yelled.

"Reena Raichand is not my biological mother."

"Eklavya, if you are adopted by Mom means you are not her biological son."

"Yes, it's means the same." Eklavya chuckled and continued, "But there is more to it, Naina."

Naina didn't speak more and expected Eklavya to continue further to tell her the truth. Eklavya stood and turned his face opposite to Naina. It was not easy for him to finally disclose his truth to Naina. He took a long breathe and said,

"Naina, I am an illegitimate child of Sooraj Raichand."
