Part 5
It had been two weeks now and Dhairya had been moping around the Mishra house. Kaka, Kaki and Pratap have pretty much been ignoring him, and only Madhu has been comforting him. He thinks "Thank god Maabhi has always been there for me." "I don't know what I would do without her." "She has always looked out for me, and has always had my best interests at heart." He thinks to go see Maabhi and thank her and give her a big hug. He heads towards her bedroom when he hears voices. Madhu says "Nupur you are right, it was me who broke Dhairya and Riya's marriage up in the first place." Dhairya is shocked. He listens further. Madhu says "I did not want Dhairya to marry Riya as she is very chalak." "She had so much control over Dhairya and I knew that if I wanted to keep him in my control I had to break him and Riya apart." "So I consulted Kraanti Maa to help me with my scheme." "She sent Priya to the Shiv mandar and asked her to confront Riya, and tell her she was pregnant with Dhairya's baby." "We even had reports so she wouldn't suspect anything." Then Nupur interjects and says "Then bhabhi how did Dhairya marry Santoshi?" Madhu says "When Priya went to the mandar she confronted Santoshi and told her everything, and Santoshi told her she was mistaken and ended up seeing Riya at the mandar and told her everything." "Then when Riya broke off the marriage with Dhairya, and Dhairya asked her "Who told you all of this?" Riya said that Santoshi had told her everything." "That is when Dhairya in anger went and ruined Santoshi's marriage to Sanket and put sindoor in her maang." "That is how Santoshi became the bahu of this house." Nupur says "I always wondered why you were nice to her?" Madhu says "I could not stand her, she is a naukrani and is not fit to be the bahu of this house or Dhairya's wife. "But I hated Riya more, and Santoshi was easier to manipulate and control and Dhairya also hated her." "You know I used to even do things so he would hate her more." "Like the time Dhairya and Riya wanted to go on their trip, I didn't want them to go, so I purposefully put Dhairya's clothes out in the rain and blamed Santoshi." Dhairya is listening to his Maabhi, the one he loved the most, the one he trusted the most talk about how she manipulated his life and his love all so she can control him. He feels disgusted after listening to Maabhi narrate everything to his bhabhi. He stands there shattered and starts crying and thinks about Santoshi. He says "Santoshi was innocent this whole time." "Her only crime was that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time." "How could I hurt her so much?" He then slowly becomes angry and thinks "How could Maabhi do this to me?" "No, I can't stay here anymore." "I need to go see Santoshi." He goes to leave, but makes a noise and Madhu sees that he has heard everything.
Madhu rushes out oh her room and calls out to Dhairya who is rushing down the stairs to the living room where everyone is sitting. He ignores her and she again says "Dhairya wait." Dhairya crying says "Maabhi, how could you do this to me?" Madhu says "Dhairya I did this for you." Dhairya says "Bas Maabhi." "Enough of your lies." "You don't love me." "I am just a puppet you can control." "You made me into a monster, who treated everyone badly." "God knows how badly I talked to papa and ma all this time." He looks at Kaka and Kaki and says "I am sorry, please forgive me?" "Also what about Santoshi?" "She was just an pawn in your game." "She was innocent in all this, and you allowed me to torment her." "I have lost the only woman I truly loved, because of you." "For that I can never forgive you." Madhu says "Dhairya you don't love Santoshi, she is not good enough for you." Dhairya screams "I do love her!" "I love her more than life itself." "The truth is, I am not good enough for Santoshi." "She is too good for me, and that is why she left me." Pratap says "Dhairya what is going on?" Dhairya says "Why don't you ask your wife." With that he grabs his car keys and leaves.
It is pouring outside and Dhairya is driving his car wrecklessly and is in a daze thinking about how he lost Santoshi and what Maabhi did. Not paying attention he veers off the road and hits a tree. At the same time Santoshi wakes up in a sweat. She thinks "I feel like something bad has happened." She goes back to sleep but seems worried. Back at the Mishra house everyone is worried as Dhairya has not come back home and it was getting late. The phone rings and Pratap answers. He says "We are on our way." Madhu says "What happened?" Pratap says "Dhairya was in a car accident." Madhu and everyone else gasp in shock. They all head to the hospital. Kaka thinks to call Santoshi, but does not want to worry her and decides to hold off until they get to the hospital. At the hospital, Dhairya is lying unconscious. He has a bandaged head and a few cuts but nothing major. The doctor says he is resting, and he can be released in the morning. The family is relieved that it is nothing serious. Madhu says, "This is all because of that Santoshi." Pratap yells "Madhu!" "You know very well this is not Santoshi's fault." "You did this, you hurt my brother." Madhu is shocked that Pratap is talking to her like this. She leaves upset.
Kaka and Kaki are praying to Santoshi Maa that Dhairya will be okay and that everything in their family becomes good again. The doctor comes and informs them that Dhairya is awake. They all go to see him and when they get there they see Dhairya trying to get out of bed. Madhu says "Dhairya, your in no condition to go anywhere." Dhairya looks at her and says "Stay away from me." "I am going to see Santoshi, and no one is going to stop me." Pratap says "Dhairya, Madhu is right you need to rest." Dhairya says "Nahin Bhaiya, I need to see her tonight." "I need to tell her how sorry I am and that I love her and that I want us to have a real husband and wife relationship." Pratap says "Okay we will take you to see Santoshi in the morning." Dhairya says "Fine." He knew he would not be able to convince his family, but he had no intention of waiting until the morning to see Santoshi. He thinks how to get rid of everyone. He tells his family to go get food for him. Madhu says "I will stay with Dhairya, you all go." Dhairya says "No, I don't want you to stay." "Just leave from here." Madhu is hurt but doesn't want to stress Dhairya out and leaves. Pratap says "I will stay." Dhairya thinks now how do I get out of here. As he and Pratap are talking in the room, Dhairya says "Bhai, can you call the doctor." Pratap says "Is everything okay?" Dhairya says "I feel funny." Pratap concerned goes to find the doctor leaving Dhairya alone. Dhairya takes this opportunity to sneak out and catch a taxi to Santoshi's house.
