Exposed Part 1
Dedicated to my friend Naina_Writes who wanted a KKB story on this theme.
Ranbir's mother Pallavi accepted Prachi as her daughter in law for the baby and conducted a function to celebrate Prachi's pregnancy.
Shahana went to the verandah and bumped into a boy.She was surprised to see him as it was Aryan.
Shahana:Aryan!Where were you?
Aryan:I went abroad with dad.
Shahana:Why the hell did you leave for abroad?Here all are suffering and you are enjoying.
Aryan:What nonsense!You are talking as if I was celebrating as you all were suffering.I left with dad as there were problems between mom and dad and I felt that dad was right.
Shahana:Here everything is so messy.Rhea claims that she is pregnant with Ranbir's baby.Prachi has no peace of mind.
Aryan:I know.Ranbir told me everything.That's why I came here to support him.
Shahana:Good that you came back.
He smiled.
Prachi was getting blessings from the guests.
One old lady:God bless you with a sweet baby who looks like both you and your husband.
Ranbir and Prachi smiled.
They:Thank you.
Unknowingly Ranbir and Prachi smiled at each other.
Suddenly Rhea roared.
Rhea:Why only Prachi's baby is getting blessings?My baby also deserves blessings.
Suddenly a slap fell on her cheek.All were shocked to see that person.It was Disha.
Purab was near her.Aliya was shocked.
Aliya:Purab!You left me for Disha?
Purab:Stop it Aliya.
Disha stared at Rhea.
Disha:You want to know why your baby is not getting blessings?Because there is no such baby in your womb.You are not pregnant.
All were stunned.Rhea was shocked.
Disha:You are just like your Aliya buji,Aliya fooled all of us.She made me believe that she has affair with Purab.She said that she is pregnant.I thought that no woman can lie about her pregnancy.So I left Purab even though she requested me to believe him.But years later Purab and Aryan came abroad and we met there.I realised that Purab was right and women like Aliya can also lie about pregnancy.I am ashamed to believe her.I won't let the history to repeat.
She looked at Prachi.
Disha:Prachi..please don't do the mistake which I did.Rhea is brought up by Aliya and she is faking pregnancy just like Aliya did.Aliya faked pregnancy to separate me from Purab.Now Rhea is faking pregnancy to separate you from Ranbir.
Prachi looked at Ranbir emotionally.
All were shocked.
Aliya was embarrassed.
Aliya:Stop it.Disha is lying.
Purab:Stop it Aliya...Don't say a word against Disha.Disha does'nt lie.It's you who lies,I am sure that you only advised Rhea to fake pregnancy.
Aliya was irritated.
Ranbir:Prachi....I told you that nothing happened between me and Rhea.But you did not believe me.Atleast now you believe me.Right?
Prachi looked at him tearfully.
Shahana:If Aliya buji was faking pregnancy,how was Aryan born?
Disha:Aryan was my baby.Aliya stole him from the hospital and made everyone believe that he is her baby.
Shahana looked at Aryan in shock.All were shocked.
Aryan:Yes Shahana.It's true.Dad had also found the truth as he heard Aliya mom and her best friend Tanu discussing about it.That's why dad and I left Aliya mom and went abroad in search of Disha Maa.I got my Disha Maa.
Disha kissed Aryan's forehead and said:I got my lost son back.
Aliya could not tolerate it.
Aliya:Stop it.Aryan...they poisoned your mind against me.It's not true.You are my son.
Disha slapped Aliya.
Disha:How much will you lie Aliya?Are you not ashamed to lie?
Purab:Some people have no shame to lie.
Rhea asked Aliya.
Rhea:Buji..I trusted you completely.Tell me..did you really do such a cheap game to separate Purab phuphaji from Disha aunty?You really snatched a baby from his mother?
Aliya was silent.
Rhea's eyes became wet.
Rhea:I never expected you to do such a cruel thing of separating a baby from the mother.I lived separately from my mother for years as my parents were separated.So I know that pain.So I can never forgive you for stealing a baby from his mother.I never tried to harm Prachi's baby to separate her from Ranbir.Because I am not cruel like you to separate a baby from her mother.
Prachi looked at Rhea emotionally.
Aliya was shocked.
Aliya:Rhea,I always supported you in your wrong steps too.Still you are blaming me?
Rhea:Yes.Why the hell did you support me when I was wrong?Why did'nt you correct me when I was wrong?
Aliya was shocked.
Aliya:You proved that you are Pragya's blood.That's why you turned against me.
She raised her hand to slap Rhea.Suddenly police men came.
"Aliya Mehra...you are under arrest".
Aliya was shocked.
Aliya:Why?Why are you arresting me?
Disha:Because years back you stole my baby.
Purab:Inspector...arrest her.
The police men handcuffed Aliya and dragged her away while Aliya kept screaming.
Purab and Disha smiled seeing Aliya getting arrested.
Aryan's eyes became wet.Shahana saw it and held his hand.
Shahana:Aryan...I always found you funny and irritating.Now you are crying?
Aryan:For years,I considered her as my mother.Can I ever hate her?I will always have soft corner towards her.
Shahana felt sad.She could understand his pain.
Shahana tried to wipe his tears.Suddenly he embraced her and wept.Shahana was stunned.
Aryan broke the embrace and looked at her.
Aryan:I am sorry.I got a bit too emotional.
Shahana wiped his tears with her fingers without saying anything.Aryan was staring at her through out.
Pallavi went near Rhea.
Pallavi:Rhea..I always supported you.Tell me the truth.Are you fooling me too?Are you faking pregnancy?
Ranbir:Mummy..I am telling you.She is not pregnant.You trust her more than your own son.Rhea is a liar.
Rhea screamed:No....I am not lying.I am pregnant.
Ranbir:Don't lie Rhea.Nothing happened between us.Then how can you be pregnant?How much will you lie?
Rhea:It's true that nothing happened between us.But I am pregnant ...I am pregnant with Sid's baby.
All were shocked.
Rhea:I lied that it's Ranbir's baby to be accepted as Ranbir's wife.
Pallavi slapped her.
Pallavi:I did a big blunder by trusting you over Prachi and Ranbir.You fooled me.
Rhea wept.
Prachi cried:Why did you play with our emotions Rhea?Thinking that you were carrying Ranbir's baby,I was going to leave this house.
Rhea was crying.
Prachi looked at Ranbir.
Prachi:I am sorry Ranbir for not believing you.I hurt you too much thinking that you betrayed me.You pleaded me to forgive you continously.But I ignored your tears cruelly.Please forgive me Ranbir.
Ranbir:No Prachi...don't...atleast now you understood my innocence.That's enough for me.
Ranbir and Prachi embraced each other emotionally.
He wiped her tears and held her hand holding her closer with the other hand.
Ranbir:Don't cry too much.It's not good for our baby.
Prachi nodded.
Ranbir's father Vikram and his mother Dida.
Pallavi became emotional seeing it,
Pallavi:Prachi..I though you don't have a heart and only Rhea has it.Sorry Prachi..
Pallavi burst into tears.
Prachi became so emotional that she hugged Pallavi.Ranbir became very happy.
Pallavi:You kept telling me that I am doing a mistake by not accepting Prachi as my daughter in law because if my blind love for Rhea.But I did'nt listen to you.Sorry beta.Please forgive this mother.
Ranbir:Mummy...please..
He hugged her.She cried.
Aryan stared at Rhea.
Aryan:I considered you as my real sister.I can't believe that you could stoop so low.
Rhea cried.
Rhea:I know that I was wrong.I was blinded by love and did many wrong things.Please forgive me...Prachi...Ranbir...Pallavi mummjiji...I realised my mistake.Please forgive me.
Pallavi:You have no place here.We can't forgive you.
She pushed Rhea out of the door.Suddenly somebody held Rhea.All were shocked.
