Then he opened his drawer and took out the photo he hid from the entire world. Even Gayatri. It was his first and last photo with Raj
Raj's room
Shalini: Raj you can't contest these charges in court. You need to speak to Naina's parents directly.
Raj; You think I am an abusive and unfit husband?!
Shalini: No Raj. Not even close. But it's very easy to distort facts. With Naina in coma, there's almost no comprehensive way to prove that you didn't pressure her to carry Raina to term. And you said that they also knew about the fight you had had after Lala Gehlot's arrest. The fact that you slapped Naina won't go down well with any judge. And you filed for divorce.
Raj: I have no idea how they know those things. Naina never told them about the ups and downs of our relation.
Shalini: Raj focus. You need to speak to them. You can't let this go to court. You don't want to lose Naina, do you?
Raj: Shal please don't say that. Please. i'll go! Go just now.,
Raj spent the drive to the hotel thinking about what he'd say. He had thought of many scenarious and had prepared his thoughts. But nothing had prepared him for what he saw at the hotel suite.
Raj opened the door and looked inside and was shocked.Sitting with Naina's parents was Abhimanyu Rai Chauhan.
NM: Beta, we are so sorry we didn't believe when you first told us that Raj was such a dangerous person in Naina's life.
Abhi: It's ok Aunty. For so many years I thought Raj was my friend! He has a knack for deceiving people.
Raj was furious. He walked in and held Abhimanyu by the collar.
Raj: Abhi how dare you?! I should have known you were the one instigating Maa and Baba.
NM: Stop your nonsense Raj. After destroying our daughter;s life you have no right to behave like this with Abhi
Raj: Ma you have no idea what he did with Naina.
NM: What he do?
Abhi (with a smirk): Go on. Tell aunty what I did.
Abhi knew Raj would never tell Naina's parents about her one night stand with him.
Abhi: You have nothing to say, do you? But I'll tell you everything.
So Raj, is it true that Naina only wanted to pretend to be married And you insisted on a real wedding?
Raj: Yes. But...
Abhi: And that you slapped Naina the day Lala Gehlot, Naveen's killer was arrested and abused her and kicked her out of the house. You think a sign of bravery is to hit your wife?
Raj looked down.
Raj: I regret what I did that day. But it was all the circumstances.
Abhi: Aunty I even feel ashamed saying this. But did you know to convince Raj to help with Naveen's case Naina had to offer Raj... Sheesh I feel disgustd. She had to offer to sleep with Raj a few times every week. He basically treated her like a prostitute.
NF: ABHI STOP. WE CANT HEAR ANY MORE. STOP.
Raj; Maa, Baba. This scoundrel is distorting facts!!! Naina and I loved eacg other. Even if you don't believe, you have to believe Raina. Raina is a symbol of our love.
Abhi: Symbol of love or something else? That baby's birth has put Naina in coma. You forced her to carry the baby to term.
Raj: SHUT UP! SHUT UP...
Raj pulled up Abhi from the collar and pushed himagaint the wall and slapped him hard. Multiple times.
Abhi: Aunty, uncle do you see how violent he is. He comes from such a family. With no father's name. Violence and force is all he knows.
In fact if you ask me I am pretty sure Raina wasn't conceived out of love. She was conceived out of force. Raj must have raped Naina and Raina is basically a rape baby.
Raj: A-B-H-I-M-A-N-Y-U
Raj picked up the glass nearby, broke it into a smaller piece and was ready to stab Abhimanyu.
