"I love you Abhi, this baby was a mistake, I didn't mean to cheat you. It just happened.", Tanu said holding Abhi's hand.
"Don't touch me", Abhi warned her.
"Not only me, you cheated my whole family, my Fuggy left me because of you"
"Abhi, Pragya cheated you, she stole all your money. She is a cheat too", Tanu reminded him.
"No, she isn't", Abhi screamed high scaring Tanu.
"What did I do to you that you cheated me like this?, I made you a famous model. If at all I wronged someone it was Pragya always. You kept playing with me using the baby which was not mine. You made me a emotional fool", Abhi tried to strangle her but stopped himself disgusted to touch her.
"Get lost Tanu, before I lose my cool and kill you. Get lost, don't you ever show me your face."
"Abhi, please listen"
"I do not want to listen or look at a woman like you who cheats people in the name of love"
"Acha! Then you should break your relation with everybody in your house along with me. Everybody are cheaters, they are cheating you more than me"
"TANU, Stop your bhakwas and get out", Abhi warned her for the last time.
"Each and every member of your family know the baby doesn't belong to you.", Tanu revealed the final truth.
Abhi was too shocked to react and Tanu continued her master stroke.
"Your dadi, your so called wife, friend, mom, sister, brother, every single member of your family know this baby doesn't belong to you"
"So now you are playing a new game", Abhi mocked her with a chuckle.
"I know you don't believe me but I can show you the truth, not just say it"
She showed him the videos in her mobile. They were various videos of different team meetings. The videos were edited and made to look like the team were cheating Abhi just like Tanu did.
"Why?", Abhi said in a low voice with his eyes filled with tears.
"They don't love you Abhi, they just love your money. How do you think Pragya got all the property to her name? Dadi and Purab helped her."
"Actually Pragya knew it even before leaving you. She had a deal with me about your properties. I loved you and she knew that. She made a deal with me that she will give you to me and in return I have to give your everything to her. I accepted so that she leaves you. When she heard we are getting married, she called me to finish the deal. I did not accept, I felt I couldn't cheat you more and I felt guilty. I opposed her deal and that is why she did this. She stole your everything and she wasn't satisfied she wanted more. You are a hen which lay golden eggs. She wanted you to be with her so that she gets more and more everyday. She wanted revenge from me for breaking the deal. She never let me get married to you for the same reason.".
"Abhi, belive me, she doesn't love you, she is faking it, she is playing with your emotions, she is acting Fuggy in between so that you remain in confusion and don't move on in life. If she really loves you why did she do all this, Abhi? "
"And the others, they love Pragya, they feel you did so much wrong with Pragya when you married her and they wanted you to suffer. Everybody loves only Pragya and money, not you. It's me who was with you all along even when you did not have a penny with you, please understand Abhi, I love you" Tanu said faking her tears in front of him.
"LEAVE", Abhi said finally.
"Abhi..", Tanu tried to convince him further.
"I SAID GET LOST", Abhi screamed and Tanu left him thinking she couldn't manipulate him further.
Abhi sat down remembering all that happened. Everything made sense to him now. He always felt something was amiss, something was not told to him. Now he realised what it is. Everybody played him, lied to him, cheated him. He felt lonley even when he is loved by millions around the world. The bunch of people he loved, cared and trusted cheated him.
Abhi's driver who overheard Tanu and Abhi's conversation gave the letter to Pragya.
"I am leaving, You all can have my money and properties. I am happy I don't need to live a life of guilt. Thank you for all the lessons you people taught me.
-Abhi, who wasn't yours at all.
