Angad and Shaurya danced in circles surrounding their parents, Naina stood frozen. Her Shaurya was alive but it wasn't sinking in, she somewhere deep in her heart never lost hope that he was out there, but his sudden appearance, left her full of happiness. She watched her darling child dance around her, wiping the tears sliding down her eyes. "I love you, mom and it's me, I never left you!" he whispered slightly and winked.
The song continued playing, and along the way Shaurya and Angad would surround their parents, pull them into unexpected hugs and force them to do the "official dance" between man and woman, husband and wife. Kripa, Anjali, and Aaliya watched with happiness, as their respective partners pulled them into a dance, dancing the night away, lost in one another.
Everything was on in full motion, but deep down it was all a fake, to allow the truth to come out. Shaurya glanced at Angad and Kavya winking slightly, before glancing at the door, to see if the intruders, the evil doers were anywhere in sight. Naina turned and grabbed the mike calmly, "thank you everyone, for being a part of our happiness, my kids this morning did upset me when none congratulated our 28th wedding anniversary, but I am thankful for this wonderful party, where I renewed my vows to my husband, and I suddenly feel like my 24 year old self!" she chuckled slightly while Dilip winked at her.
She felt her cheeks turn crimson red, "umm, let the party continue, everyone please enjoy yourself!" she smiled and walked off the stage but not before Dilip placed a soft kiss on her cheek and the others hooted in the room.
The lights turned off, everyone gasped in fear, Anjali, Aaliya and Kripa hung on to Shaurya, Kavya and Angad tightly with fear. Shaurya moved slightly away towards the light switch when he felt someone give him a blow. The lights turned back on and this time Shaurya was lying on the floor in pain, blood gushing down the side of his head. Angad rushed furiously towards him, supporting him as he walked away the A.D., Jigyasa and Samrat.
Naina and Dilip were frozen with shock, the screen splits into a black and white thunder, filling the air with sudden silence, no one dared to breath for fear of the danger lurking near them. Jigyasa filled the air with her murderous laugh full of curiosity, regret, anger and agony. "Nice to meet you again Dilip, after 24 years, such a long time is it not?" she spoke curtly.
Dilip stammered to speak but with no air in his voice box, all hope of responding to her was lost. Flashes of moments he spent with her made his eyes widen in shock; as his eyes rested upon the day she vowed to take revenge after she had walked into his house dressed as a bride and married but never revealed the man she was linked to.
"hmm, Dilip I recognize that look in your eyes, I am sure you are thinking about the day I vowed to unleash my vengeance, of course I never forget to fulfill my promise, although I have to say your son was a perfect pawn, playing the game exactly as I expected. It was so easy to fool him, of course he goes exactly like you!" a snarl ripped through her throat, full of anger.
"oh where are my manners, let me introduce you too, the "love of my life!" her voice broke out in spears of sarcasm. "now Dilip, meet A.D., my husband, I am sure Naina you know this man, of course he was linked to you earlier! Oh and meet this handsome young man, my life, Samrat, my son."
Dilip's eyes glanced around the room at the gossip filled eyes of the young women, he knew it this would spread around India too quick, Number 1 business man's secret life revealed! "Its NOT a pleasure meeting you Dilip, the man who ruined my life, who once was my best friend eventually took the love of my life away from me after I confessed to you I dearly loved her! Anyways, nevertheless, you will pay!" A.D.'s voice filled the room.
Samrat let out a vicious growl, glancing at every single face in the room, his eyes resting upon Kripa. Love struck, at first glance, his eyes skimmed softly over her body, and glanced back at her eyes. She looked up and moved towards Angad clutching his arm tightly. He smirked, he would make her his very soon, if he wished, he would! His eyes moved rather slowly towards Aaliya, and Anjali; but quickly rested his eyes upon the younger of both girls, her eyes filled with fear and innocence. He smiled and glanced at Angad's face filled with fury, ready to burst any second, the veins on his arms clearly visible as his hand turned into a fist.
Naina's eyes refused to leave A.D.'s face, she had never known he loved her, she never loved him either, she had confessed to him she had loved Dilip all along, they had been best friends before he had told her he was dating Jigyasa; no longer did their friendship survive because of her continuous jealousy. And finally the day came when he left her, and confessed to Naina how much he loved her. That day she had been the happiest person alive, the love of her life loved her as well.
Her eyes return to Jigyasa as her memory goes into flashback mode, the day Dilip confessed. **Flashback Mode**
Dilip sat with Naina cuddling against him, a smile playing on his lips as he recalled the past few days of their love, how they never left one another alone. She glanced up at him, and pulled him into a soft hug, finally pulling away when the phone rang. "Hello?" Naina questioned upon receiving the phone. A loud growl filled the phone, "You *****, I always knew you wanted MY DILIP! You think you can just take him away and get away with it, Jigyasa wants him, and I will get him one way or the other, just you await for your death, there is no way I will ever let you become one!" the phone fell from Naina's hand, her hands trembling with fear and shock.
Dilip popped into the kitchen, resting his head on her shoulder, "what's wrong Naina?" Naina stared blankly at him but quickly smiled softly at him. He frowned, is there something wrong Naina? She glanced at him with an indifferent look, and replied, "nothings wrong Dilip, everything is fine, you just worry to much for your age!" she giggled but her voice was filled with fear. He noticed but left her alone, he didn't want to force her to say anything, when she felt better about it, she would then surely tell him the problem.
2 months later:
Dilip and Naina walked into their newly bought home as a wedded pair, they had gotten married after all the troubles Jigyasa was putting in their way to stop the marriage. Life was beautiful for them, and yet there was still something very wrong, a shiver filled the air, and climbed down Naina's back, for some reason she never felt save in that house. And one day her suspicion was confirmed. While looking for her ring, she found camera's covering every corner of the house, a door that was locked, she followed it and found someone living their, for months trying to prey their victim. But that was the worst mistake she could have made, she was pregnant, 2 weeks pregnant, and by stepping into that dungeon, she was pushed down the stairs. Rolling down the stairs screaming in pain, and finally slamming her head against a desk.
Dilip during that period was frustrated she was gone, the house was found in cameras, a mess, everything was ruined. He had lost Naina and now two weeks later he walked into the lonely house, all hopes of finding Naina were decreasing, no one knew where she was, there was blood stained on the walls, it looked like she had fought back and succeeded some how, very little.
The door banged loudly at 3 in the morning, Dilip rushed down the stairs and found a bleeding, brutally beat Naina standing before him, her clothes slightly torn, blood gushing down her voice, visible bruises on her arms and face. Covered in pain, Dilip pulled her into a hug but found her faint. He had rushed to the hospital, begging the doctors to do something, luckily one doctor was just about to leave but decided to do his job as a human. Naina was rushed into surgery, checked for any signs of rape, and recovered nearly 2 months later. But the one wound that left her lifeless, was the death of her unborn child. Dilip was struck with agony, they had killed his child.
Naina had told him the truth about the house, and the very next day both moved into a different community, safe and hired dozens of guards to protect Naina, where ever she went. Of course, the wounds these horrible memories did not pass, she would wake in the morning screaming for her child, and one day her wish was fulfilled, she was pregnant, that day Naina awoke from her darkness.
BACK TO REALITY:
Naina shuddered with fear, as she reviewed the faces that stood before her, never glancing in Jigyasa's eyes, instead clutching on to Dilip with pain. Dilip glanced at her and pulled her into a soft hug, never letting his eyes off the others. Jigyasa smiled at them curiously, walking towards her, she clutched Naina by the arm and slapped her. Dilip intervened quickly before Jigyasa raised her hand once more. He caught her hand, turned her towards him, and turned her arm behind her back, as he clutched her throat and in a murderous tone, "DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH NAINA AGAIN! You touch her I swear you wont see another day!"
Angad and Shaurya rushed to hold A.D. off, forgetting about Samrat, while Samrat swiftly walked towards Kripa, pulling out his gun. "Oye, you ****** look this way, I am sure you don't want to loose your wife, but then again I am sure you are not willing to share, but damn she takes my breath away!" Samrat smiled wickedly stroking Kripa's face rather harshly. Kripa squirmed and struggled in his arms, and finally kicked him where it hurt, and grabbed the gun away from him. Pointing it at him, she trembled in fear. "Di, both of you go towards mom and dad! Suhaan, Anam, Payal, Aashish, Arun go with them, and quickly get out of here! As long as this damn gun points at him, I want all of you rushing out of here, NOW!"
All quickly followed her orders, just as the family was out, Samrat rushed forth grabbed the gun from kripa, and slapped her in the face, but Kripa fought back. Punching him in the stomach, and pulling him into a head lock! Angad quickly let go of A.D. fighting Shaurya and rushed towards Kripa, grabbing Samrat and beating him.
Samrat fought back with fury, on the other hand a catfight between Naina and Jigyasa started, both throwing food and grabbing all that they could to hit one another, and on the other hand A.D. fought Shaurya as ferociously as possible. Kripa called the police, when no one watched, the police rushed in moments later to find Samrat just shoot A.D. in the stomach. Samrat screamed, Shaurya had moved out of the way in the nick of time, instead of rushing towards his father he shot Naina, who clutched angrily on to Jigyasa.
Naina let go quickly, startled by the piercing pain rushing out of her. The police quickly called for back up and ambulance, Naina and A.D. were rushed to the hospital, finding it difficult to breath, Dilip rushed with her. Samrat and Jigyasa were locked up and taken away.
The night lasted in fear and worry, whether or not the loved ones would survive.
