He was tapping his fingers on the desk while looking at the television screen, he rotated his finger vertically, signaling someone to change the channel, as the person did he showed his two finger asking him to stop. He read some article on the screen and smirked, he twirled his chair and faced the person. He is none other than Raman Kumar Bhalla - the top businessman of the city.
Raman left his chair and patted the person's shoulder saying : Good job Mihir...! Now I see... How does she overcome from this situation..!
Mihir : But Raman is it right to do such thing..!
Raman : Mihir, you know me well... I can tolerate anything but whoever stab on my back, I won't tolerate that... Chahe woh mere family member hi kyu na ho..!" Raman walked towards the television and said : What you said... The game which you started, you'll end.. Tch.. Tch..! You don't kmow with whom you messed. Now I see, how you overcome from this scandal Ms Ishita Vishwanathan Iyer." and he turned off the television.

Ishita was serving breakfast to her parents but they didn't bother to have a single morcel from their plate. Ishita took seat beside her father and assured him saying : Appa... I know you haven't done anything wrong. We trust you appa.. I know God will do justice with us. Please don't loose hope.
Mr Iyer : But Ishu... Our reputation..!
Ishita : Appa we know how we are..! we don't need to bother about others. Yeh duniya wale toh kuch bhi bakwas karte hai and people know how Raman Bhalla is... They can differentiate between right and wrong..!
Mrs Iyer : Yes Vishwa.. Ishu is right..!
They were discussing on this matter when Mihika ran outside from her room and huffed saying : Akka..! TV..!!
Ishita confusingly looked at her and then turned on the television. They were shocked seeing the news - Raman was giving IV in some news channel.
Raman : Yes, I thought.. He was a gentleman so I gave him the job but now I realize, he's a fraud.. Jis thali pe khata hai ussi pe chhed karta hai. I gave maximum details to my rival companies and he stole money from our companies account. May be he thought, I made him Account manager so he could do anything and I couldn't find out.. But anyways, I faced the loss and now I'll not leave him... I won't sit quiet, I'll send him behind the bars.
Ishita switched off the TV and looked at her father who was sitting all worried.
Ishita : Appa..! It was all my mistake.. Woh aise kaise kar sakte hai, meri galti ki wajah kaise mere family ko de sakte hai.
Just then they heard the door bell. Mihika opened the door and saw inspector standing.
Inspector : Mr Vishwanathan Iyer?
Mr Iyer walked towards them saying : Yes I'm..
Inspector : You are under arrest. RKB group and industry filed a case against you for cheating them.
Ishita ran towards them saying : NO..!! My appa hadn't done anything wrong. You can't arrest him. Do you any proof?
Inspector : We have.. Recently he deposit 1cr. in his bank account, we have the paylist.
Everyone looked on shocked. Ishita knew who could this but she has no proof against him.
Ishita pleaded : No.. He can't do this. You can't take him.
Inspector : Let us do our work..
Meanwhile Mr Iyer didn't say anything, inspector asked constable to arrest him and soon they took him from there. Everyone cried when Ishita decided not to give up easily. She walked out from their house and about to leave when a car reached there. She looked on confused when he slide down the glass door, Ishita looked at him disgusted and started to leave. As Ishita passed by him, Raman walked out from his car.
Raman : Tch.. Tch.. tch.. Bohot takleef hota hai jab koi apna apse durr jata hai, hai na?
Ishita stopped but didn't turn at him when Raman continue saying : Kuch aisa hi takleef mujhe hua tha.. Jab tum..! " But he paused for a while and faced her : Anyways... yeh toh shuruwat hai... Jitni takleef tumne mujhe diya tha usse kahi zyada takleef ab mein tumhe dunga... Woh kya kehte hain..! Sood samedh wapas karunga..
But still Ishita didn't react on his word so Raman said : What happened? You have nothing to say? Oh yeah..! I'm such a stupid.. Jiske baap abhi abhi chori ke ilzam mein jail gaya hai uski beti ke paas kehne layak hoga bhi kya..!
As Raman said, Ishita angrily looked at him and within a second she slapped him.
Ishita : Yeh hai mera jawab Mr Raman Bhalla.. I know.. I know that you trapped my appa and to be honest mein tumse kuch aise hi expect kar rahi thi..! Actually it's not your fault.. Kids learn from their parents but jiske ma baap hi..
As Ishita said, Raman tightly held her arms making her winced in pain, he angrily glared at her saying : Don't.. Don't you dare..! Aaj keh dia, don't say from next time..!
Ishita pushed him saying : Why? Is it hurts? Then think.. Uss patni pe kya guzaar rahi hai jiske pati ko police abhi abhi le gaya, uss beti pe kya guzaar rahi hai jiske pita ko bina jurm kiye police le gaya.. But you don't care all this.. You want to take revenge na..! I admit, I had done wrong.. I did wrong with you then punish me, why are you dragging my family? Please, leave them.
Raman : You know, today whatever you said after that I won't stop here. You have to pay for it. Iss thappad ka badla mein lekar rahunga..! " saying this Raman angrily left from there.
As soon as he left, Ishita collapsed on the floor crying. Just then another car arrived there and Vidyut got down from car, seeing Ishita crying, he ran to her.
Vidyut : Ishita..?
Ishita : Vidyut..! and she hugged him tightly. Vidyut console her, after a while she parted from him when Vidyut asked : Ishita.. I saw Raman Bhalla leaving.. Did he come here?
Ishita : Vidyut.. Police.. Police arrested appa..!
Vidyut : What? But why?
Then Ishita narrated him...
Flashback,
Ishita was coming home from market when she saw a car was coming from opposite side harshly, and before Ishita could react, the car hit a lady and left the place in car. Ishita quickly noted down the car number.
That night itself, she reached the house of the car owner with police.
Inspector : Mr Om Prakash Bhalla? You are under arrest..
Mr Bhalla shockingly looked at them asking : Arrest? Why?
Ishita : Because for you a lady could die today.
Mr Bhalla : What rubbish you're speaking..!
Police : On 9 Pm, where you were?
Mr Bhalla : I was at my office.
Police : ... And your car?
Mr Bhalla : What a question is it..! If i was at office, then it was obvious, my car was there at office. But what happened?
Police : On 9pm, this girl saw your car at juhu road and the driver hit a lady and ran away from the spot.
Mr Bhalla looked on worried and asked : Did you see his face?
Ishita : No.. But may be he wore suit..!
Police : Mr Bhalla, you have to come with us.. We need to esquire about this..
Mr Bhalla nodded and left with them.
Police station,
Raman reached inside and walked in furiously, he grabbed inspector's collar asking : How dare you to take my father here?
Inspector : Raman Bhalla it's not your office. Behave..! " and he jerked his hand off.
Raman : Where's my papa?
Inspector : He's behind the bar, he confessed his crime.
Raman shockingly asked : What?" Inspector nodded when Raman asked : Who filed the case?" Then inspector showed him Ishita, Raman furiously looked at her but right now he need to concentrate on his father so he didn't say her anything.
Raman : Fine... I'll call my lawyer, he will come and give you bail papers, right now release him.
Inspector : we can't.. we need judge's sign and this case will on court. And tomorrow is Sunday, so the case will start on Monday and till then he has to stay here.
Raman didn't argue with them as he knew there wasn't any use of it and then he said : I want to meet him." the inspector agreed and constable took Raman inside but before that he confronted Ishita saying : You have done wrong. You have to pay for it.
Flashback ends.
Vidyut looked at Ishita who was crying. he asked : Then what happened in court?
Ishita : His father was innocent, actually his brother Romi was driving the car and his father was just trying to save him so he took the blame.
Vidyut : But how come Mr iyer arrested?
Ishita : Appa was working in their company and after that scandal, media harassed their family and Raman Bhalla trapped my father to take revenge.
Vidyut : Its okay ishita.. Now I've come.. I know a lawyer, he will help you. Don't worry, uncle will be release soon." ishita hugged Vidyut.
