Back in Oberoi Mansion, everyone was gathered in the hall after breakfast.

"TIA! KAHAAN HO TUM?"

Anika entered the house shouting for Tia. Everyone got up and went towards the door to see what was going on.

Tia: Anika?

Anika went towards Tia and held her arm.

Anika: Tumhare khel khattam ho chuka toh apna 2-rupee drama band kardo aur saara sach bolna shuru kar do, tumhare aur baake sabke liye achha rahega.

Tia: What? What nonsense? Yeh kya bole jaa raho tum?

Anika: Tumhari family ki koi badi company nahi hain. Tum Shivaay se shaadi kisi maksad se karna chahti thi. Aur tum Shivaay se shaadi karna hi nahi chahti thi kyoonki tum pehlese hi shaadi-shuda ho. Aur yeh baccha tumhare pati ka hain, Shivaay ka nahi. Ab baaki sach khud hi bata do.

Tia was shocked at Anika's revelation.

Pinky: *angry* Oh my Mata! Dimaag kharaab ho chuka hain tera. Kya bole jaa rahi tu? Tia pe aisa be-bunyaad ilzaam lagane ki teri himmat kaise hui?

Anika: Main hawa mein baatein nahi kar rahi. Tia ko 2 option de rahi hoon. Ya toh pyaar se sab sach bata de... ya hume sakhti karni padegi.

Pinky: Khabardaar! Khabardaar jo Tia aur babies ko haath lagane ki koshish bhi ki.

Anika: Main Tia ko kuch nahi karoongi. Likin use toh kar sakti hoon nn, jisme Tia ki jaan basti hain.

Tia: What do you mean?

Anika: *calls out* Shivaay, Tia ke piya ko le ke toh aayiye.

Everyone looks towards the door as Shivaay and Khanna drag a third person inside. Tia cups her mouth in shock as she sees Dushyant, or Robin as the family knew, being dragged in.

Shakti: Robin tum? Shivaay yeh kya ho raha hain? Tum Tia ke bhai ko kyoon aur kahaan se le aaye ho?

Shivaay: Yeh Tia ka bhai nahi, uska pati Dushyant hain. *looks towards Tia* Tia, sab sach bata do. Warna jo doosra option hain woh na mujhe pasand aayega na tumhe.

Tia kept her eyes to the floor, not saying.

Shivaay: Fine. Suit yourself. Khanna, do it.

Khanna takes out a stun gun and stung Dushyant with it.

Dushyant: *screams and falls to the floor* AAAHHH!

Tia: *screams* DUSHYANT!

Everyone gets shocked while Shivaay and Anika looked towards each other. Tia tried to run towards Dushyant but Anika held her back.

Anika: Dushyant, tumhara pati. Ek baat toh bati di, ab baaki bhi bata do warna tum dekh hi sakti ho ki tumhare pati ke saath kya hoga.

Tia: *pleading* Anika please, I beg you, please mere pati ko chhod do. Shivaay, please.

Shivaay: Toh bolo Tia, sach batao. Humare upar attacks kyoon hue aur kaun mila hain tumhare saath? Just tell us.

Tia: Woh...woh saare attacks...*looks towards her mom then back at Dushyant* humne plan kiye, hum tum Oberois ko barbaad karna chahte they.

The Oberois were shocked.

Shivaay: Likin kyoon? Meri family ne tumhara kya bigaada hain?

Tia: Tumhari family ne meri family ko barbaad kar diya, hume sadak pe laa ke khada kar diya.

Shakti: Tia hum toh tumhe jaante bhi nahi they. Humne kya kiya? Aur sadak pe? Tum toh khud itni badi family se ho na?

Tia: Sab jhooth hain. Hum koi badi business family se nahi hain. Hum aapke purane business partner, Mr Kapoor ki family.

Tia confessed it all; her father's accident, their revenge plan and the attacks planned on ShivIka. The family was dead silent, no one knowing how they did such a blunder reading the Kapoors. Anika, looked towards Shivaay with softened expression and left Tia's hand. Seeing her, Shivaay dismissed Khanna and stepped away from Dushyant. Tia ran towards Dushyant and hugged him tightly, both bursting into tears.

Tia: *sobbing* Dush...Dushysant, tum zinda ho. I thought I lost you.

Dushyant: *with tears* Never Tia. Main tumhe chhod ke kabhi nahi jaaoonga, na tumhe mujhse door jaane doonga. Never.

Tia: *pulls away and cups his face* Tum theek...*worried seeing bruises* Tumhe itni chot kaise lagi? And tum inte time se kahaan tha? Anika...Anika ne kiya na yeh sab? Kya usne tumhe hurt kiya na?

Dushyant: Nahi, nahi Tia. In fact, Anika ne toh meri jaan bachayi aur mujhe tumse milwaya.

Flashback

"HELP!"

Shivaay and Anika snapped their heads towards the house were the sound came from.

Shivaay: Yeh awaaz?

Anika: Shaayad koi musibat mein hain. Hume jaake dekhna chahiye.

Shivaay: Anika, hum aise hi kisi keg har mein anhi ghus sakte.

Anika: Shivaay kisi ke jeene-parne ka sawaal hain! Aapko nahi aana, mat aayiye, main jaake dekh ke aati hoon.

Anika went towards the house, Shivaay going as well. They went inside the gate but saw no one.

Anika: Hello, koi hain yahaan?

Voice: HELP! MAIN PHANSA HUA HOON!

The voice was coming from the bungalow. ShivIka ran towards the door and found a man wriggling on the floor, trying to escape the house. ShivIka knelt beside him and turned him over.

Shivaay: Tum kau...Robin?!

The couple were shocked to say the least. Robin clasped both their hands.

Robin: *pleading* Please mujhe bacha lo. Mujhe yahaan kidnap karke rakkha hua hain. Woh mujhe maar dalegi.

Shivaay: Kaun maar dalegi? Kisne kidnap kiya tumhe?

Robin: Tia ki mom, Mrs Kapoor.

Anika: *shocked* Kya? Par woh apne hi bete ke saath...

Robin: Woh meri mom nahi hain.

Anika: Kya bol rahe hain? Agar tum Tia ke bhai ho...

Robin: *shouts* Main Tia bhai nahi uska pati, Dushyant hoon!
