In the garden,
Daksheesh replied tensely "papa, ab shadi cancel ho gyi hai, ab ham kya krenge?(Father, what are we going to do now that wedding is cancelled?)"
Grandpa ordered "apna saman pack krlo,ham india vapis ja rhe hai! ( Pack your things, we're heading back to India)"
He informed further"or me tumhare sath aa rha hu! (And I'm coming with you)"
Just then vedraj interrupted from behind "Mr. Vadiya, aap india ja rhe hai? (Mr. Vaidya, you're moving to India?)"
All eyes shoot in the corner where vedraj enters from. His grand and impressive aura quickly shift everyone's mood.
Avni thought Happily "He came here after all!"
Vedraj entered inside and came close to grandpa.
Grandpa replied with a pleasant smile "vedraj! What a pleasant surprise." And both of them hugged each other happily like old friends. Grandpa's offensive mood is quickly replaced by a pleasant smile.
After a minute, grandpa broke the hug and replied getting upset "vedraj, jbse tumne ye team chodi hai tb se sb kch badal gya hai, ab hamari gang me vo bat rahi he nhi jo pehle thi(Vedraj, since you left this alliance our mob hasn't been the same!)"
Vedraj replied happily"hn me janta hu, isliye me vapis aaya hu. Or is bar to mere pas rukne ka ek reason bhi hai (I know, that's why I'm back, and this time I have a reason to stay)"
Grandpa replied confusingly"reason? Me smjha nhi? (Reason? What do you mean?)"
Vedraj replied with a smile "mujhe bhi to vahi hona chaiye na jha meri beti hai (I have to be where my daughter is)"
Bhavik asked confusingly"aapki beti?(Your daughter?)"
Vedraj replied with a gentle smile "hn meri beti, avni vedraj agarwal (Yes my daughter, avni vedraj agarwal)"
A gasp escaped avni's lips, and she could feel her heart racing as she heard what vedraj had just said. She thought shockingly "Did he just call me his DAUGHTER ?? I'm Mr. Vedraj Agarwal's DAUGHTER????"
Everyone present there in the garden, gasped in surprise after vedraj's unexpected words. All their eyes were fixed on avni in total disbelief, as no one was ready to accept that it can be true or real.
Avni stammered in shock "m...me aapki b...beti kese ho skti hu? I'm sure apko koi misunderstanding Hui hai, Mr. Agarwal.(H...how can I be your d... daughter? There must be some confusion, mr. Agarwal)"
Vedraj replied in a serious tone "I don't joke about my family, beta. Tum sch me meri beti ho (I don't joke about my family, darling. You really are my daughter)"
Avni thought tensely"All this time I don't know about my father....but now he's right in front of me?"
Vedraj informed"mujhe to tb he pta chl gy tha ki tum meri beti ho jb mene tumhara surname suna tha. Ye usi lady ka hai jis se mene kbhi pyar kiya tha (I knew you were my daughter the moment I heard your last name. It's the same as the woman i once loved )"
He added further with a sweet smile"or tum bilkul radhika jesi dikhti ho (And you look just like radhika)"
Hearing her mom's name from vedraj mouth, avni started joining all the dots and then she realized everything, she said in her mind shockingly "is this why my mom was so scared to let me go to Italy?!"
Vedraj replied happily"I'm happy ki mujhe finally meri beti mil he gyi (I'm happy to finally meet you now, my daughter )"
Avni replied"pr agr aapko pehle he pta chl gya tha ki me aapki beti hu to aapne mujhe tb he kyu nhi btaya? (But why didn't you introduce yourself to me before?)"
Vedraj replied getting upset"kyunki itne time se, mujhe pta he nhi tha ki meri koi beti bhi hai. Tumhari maa ne bohot acche se tumhari existence mujhse chupa ke rkhi thi (All this time, I didn't know that I had a daughter, your mother did a great job at hiding your existence from me)"
Avni got a bit panicked listening to this, and started stepping back in suprise, and again and again her mother's face was coming in front of her eyes, her lies, her awkward smile, her secrets, and then she looked at vedraj's face.
Her emotions, her thoughts, her feeling and even this truth were weighing so much on her, tears started flowing from her eyes and suddenly she ran away from there crying.
Avni went in the balcony and sat on the ground and hiding her face in her knees she started crying uncontrollably, tears were continuously flowing from her eyes.
After about an hour, she wiped her tears and thought "I need to talk to my mom about this! But I better do this in person" and she got up from there and took a deep breath calming herself.
And that whole day she kept herself locked in her room and didn't talk to anyone, neither answered anyone's calls or messages.
________
The next day,
After the wedding is cancelled, everyone immediately flies back to India.
And even in the whole flight, avni didn't talked to anyone.
And after reaching India, she take her luggages herself, took a cab and directly went to her house.
Avni thought standing outside the door "Now that I'm back, there's one thing that I need to do...." and gathering some courage she opened the door and stepped inside.
Avni called entering inside"maa! Me ghr aa gyi hu! Kha ho? (Mom! I'm home!)"
And her mom came, and got a bit surprised"avni, t...tu vapis aa gyi? (Avni, y... you're back?)" And hugged avni tightly.
But avni didn't hugged her back, and instead broke the hug."maa, mujhe kch bat krni hai (Mom, we need to talk )"
Radhika asked in a low voice"sb thik to hai na, beta? (Is everything alright, Honey?)"
Avni replied angrily "aapko sch me lgta hai sb thik hoga? Ab plz ye natak krna bnd kro. Plz ab to sch bta do (You really think so? Please stop pretending. I need you to tell me the truth)" and tears got filled in her eyes.
Listening this, Radhika understood what avni is talking about, she replied worriedly "mujhe pta tha ye din zarur aayega (I knew this day would come sooner or later )"
Avni replied getting impatient"kya ye sch hai ki mere papa THE vedraj agarwal hai?! (Is it true that my father is THE vedraj agarwal?)"
Radhika replied in a low voice"avni, tujhe ye pta hona chaiye ki mere pas in sb chizo ki apni ek vjh thi(Avni, you must know that I had my reasons for everything )"
Avni shouted angrily"vjh thi? Ho he nhi skta! Aapne juth bola hai mujhse! Aapne kha tha ki mere dad mar chuke hai (Reasons?! How is this possible? You lied to me! You told me my dad is dead!)"
Radhika replied getting emotional"I'm sorry avni. Mujhe tujhse juth nhi bolna chaiye tha (I'm sorry avni. I shouldn't have lied to you)"
Avni replied angrily"mujhe Bhanushalis ke liye kam krna pda kyunki aapne kha tha ki dad ne unse loan le rkha hai. Kya vo bhi juth thaa?? (I had to work for the Bhanushalis because you told me my father is indebted to them! Were you lying about that too?)"
Radhika replied tensely"abhi bhi bohot kch hai jo me tujhe btana chahti hu. Pr mujhe nhi lgta tu vo sb sun payegi (There's still so much that I wish I could tell you but I don't know if you can handle it)"
Avni thought feeling bad "All this time, I thought I knew exactly who I was. But I guess there are a lot of things that I don't know about myself. So I wasn't a poor girl or a nobody like bhavik's father said, I actually belong to the mafia world bloodline....? I need to know everything my mother hid from me for all these years"
Avni immediately replied after coming to her senses back from her thoughts" aap mujhe ab or andhere me nhi rkh skti, maa. Aapko mujhe ab sb kch btana he pdega pehli or aakhri bar (You can't keep me in the dark anymore, mom. You need to tell me the truth once and for all)"
Radhika replied in a low voice"sch utna bhi simple nhi hai jitna tum soch rhi ho (The truth is not as simple as you think)"
Avni replied with a sarcastic smile"jesa dhoka aapne mujhe diya hai na, uske bade koi sch mujhe nhi tode skta (Nothing can break me after the kind of betrayal you've put me through)"
Radhika inhales a sharp breath and finally nods her head in defeat. Avni can see the hint of disappointment in her eyes as she remembers about her past."me vedraj se tb mili thi jb me college me thi....vo bohot accha insan tha or uske pyar me na pdha impossible tha. Ham ek dusre ke liye pagal the, vo pyar jise aaj kl tum log books me padhte ho, vedraj ek perfect gentleman tha. Pr vo mafia world ki sbse badi family ka heir bhi tha. Usme bohot talent tha, itna ki vo uski family ko us position tk leja skta tha jha tk vo imagine bhi nhi kr skte. Vedraj apni responsibilities se bandha hua tha, or me to vese bhi bs ek outsider thi, sirf ek garib college student (I met vedraj when I was in college....He was a great man and it was impossible to not fall for him.We were crazy for each other, the love that you've only read about. Vedraj was the perfect gentleman.But he was also the heir to the biggest family in the mafia world. He had the talent to take his family to places they had only imagined.Vedraj was bounded by his responsibilities, and I was a mere outsider, I was nothing but a broke college student)"
Avni thought getting upset "This sounds like bhavik and I in a different timeline"
Radhika continued "pr mujhe believe tha ki ham raste ke obstacles ko par kr skte hai, jb tk ham dono sath hai. Ham ek dusre se pyar krte rhe, pr fir....me pregnant ho gyi, jis din me apne tests krane gyi thi, uske papa ke aadmiyo ne mujhe kidnap kr liya. Uske parents ko meri pregnancy ka pta chl gya tha, vedraj se bhi pehle, me bta he nhi payi use. Uske papa ne dhamki di thi ki agr mene vedraj ko sch btaya to vo mujhe or mere bacche ko mardenge (But I believed we could overcome the trials along the way as long as we had each other. We continued to fall in love until....I got pregnant with you.The day I went to do my tests, his father's men kidnapped me.His parents learned about my pregnancy even before I could tell vedraj.His father threatened that he would kill me and my unborn child if I ever told vedraj the truth)"
Avni got shocked listening to this"pr maa aapne aise kese ye sb hone diya khud ke sath? (But mom you allowed them to intimidate you?)"
Radhika replied"ye sirf darane-dhamkane ki bat nhi hai, beta. Agarwal family mafia world me ek bohot powerful force hai- vo bohot dangerous hai or aise he khali dhamkiya nhi dete. Or mujhe mere baby ko protect Krna tha, mujhe tujhe protect Krna tha. Isliye fir mene ek din vedraj ko kha... Ki mujhe ye sb khtm Krna hai (It's not simple intimidation, darling. The agarwal family is a powerful force in the mafia world- they're dangerous and they don't make empty threats. I had to protect my baby, you.So one day, I told vedraj....it was over)"
Avni thought feeling bad for radhika"she suffered so much just to protect me against the threat of Agarwals..."
Radhika continued"mere pas apni pregnancy chupane or vedraj se dur bhagne ke alava or koi choice nhi thi, fir chahe vo meri life ka sbse painful decision tha. Aadinath Bhanushali vedraj ke family friend the. Me unhe vedraj ke through he janti thi. Isliye mene sch chupane ke liye unki help li (I had no choice but to hide my pregnancy and run Away from vedraj even if it was the most painful decision I had to make. Aadinath Bhanushali was vedraj's family friend. I knew of him through vedraj, so I asked for his help to hide the truth )"
Avni asked surprisingly"Mr. Bhanushali aapke sath the? (Mr. Bhanushali was your accomplice?)"
Radhika informed"agr vo nhi hote, to Agarwals ham dono ko dhund ke hame mar dete. Unhi ki vjh se ham shanti se yha reh ske. Isliye unka karz hai ham pr (If it wasn't him, the agarwals would've hunted both of us down. It was because of him that we were able to live in peace.That's the reason why I'm indebted to his family)"
Avni thought"Wow... I didn't know the story about my birth was as complicated as this!"
Radhika added with an awkward smile"ab jb tujhe sch pta chl he gya hai, to ab tujhe Mr.bhanushali ke liye kaam krne ki zarurat nhi hai.(Well, now that you know everything, you don't need to work for Mr.bhanushli anymore )"
Radhika suggested with a gentle smile"tu ghr vapis kyu nhi aa jati? (Why don't you come back home?)"
Avni replied in a low voice"mujhe khud ko sambhalne ke liye thda time chaiye, me thde time ke liye pallavi ke sath rhungi (I need some time to collect myself, I'll be staying with pallavi for a while)"
Radhika replied a bit tensely"avni, I hope tu smjhegi ki mene Jo bhi kiya sirf tujhe protect krne ke liye kiya (Avni, I hope you understand that I did a lot of things just to protect you )"
Avni replied in a low voice looking at the floor"I know. Me aapse gussa nhi hu, mujhe bs in sb chizo se recover hone ke liye thda time chaiye (I know. I'm not holding anything against you, I just need some time to recover from this)" and with a heavy heart, avni took her luggage and left home and headed to pallavi's house.
