The end

Intikaam ki aag ne mujhe jala diya, par uska pyaar ne mujhe phir se zinda kiya. Ab jeet sirf mere dil ki nahi, balki hamari kahani ki hai

Ranvijay's expression softened slightly, realizing that even in his anger, he still cared for his brother. But he also knew the truth had to be confronted.

"This is about more than just revenge, Randhir bhai. It's about justice and healing. It's time for you to own up to what you've done. I am with kahani in this and I am ready to go against you all for her, for the love of my family." Ranvijay spoke.

"What do you really want, Kahani? You want revenge?" Arohi confronted kahani.

Kahani laughed darkly. "Yes, revenge! I want revenge. Every drop of pain you've caused me will be repaid!"

She moved closer to the couch, sat down crossing her legs as if she owns the place. She leaned forward, voice full of venom. "I will finish everyone. You all destroyed my life, now it's my turn. I will wipe each one of you out. Randhir, Arohi, and all of you... no one will be spared."

Ravijay's mom rushed towards him. "Beta, stop your wife! She will destroy everyone!"

"I will stand by her. Her revenge is my revenge. Together, we will erase all."

Kahani smiled wickedly. "In the end, only one story will remain... mine. And it will be written with the end of all of you."

Arohi stepped forward, anger rising.

"You can't do this, Kahani! This is madness!"

Kahani stood up slowly, her eyes fixed on Arohi. "Madness? This is just the beginning. You haven't seen my true power yet, Arohi. You will all go through the same pain I did!"

"Kahani, you're destroying yourself. Randhir wasn't worthy of your love, but that doesn't mean you should destroy everyone!". Arohi said.

Kahani laughed bitterly. "Love? Love is a lie! What Randhir did, everyone does. Love is just betrayal. Now I will show the world that hatred is the only answer to love."

Randhir's mom cried and pleaded.

"Beta, stop this madness. Both of you will destroy yourselves walking this path!"

Ranvijay stepped towards Kahani, holding her hand. "This is our decision, Mother. We are only taking what's rightfully ours. No one can change our path now."

Kahani turned towards Ranvijay, smiling. "Not right... revenge. Now the world will see that when a woman rises in her power, everything burns to ashes."

She turned and walked out, while Ranvijay followed closely behind, leaving Arohi and his mother in stunned silence.

At midnight

Randhir sat silently in his wheelchair. His mother and father exchanged worried glances. Arohi, too, was anxious, though she stood off to the side, her arms crossed tightly across her chest, biting her lip.

Why had kahani and Ranvijay left so suddenly? And more importantly, what was Kahani going to do now?

Randhir's mother broke the silence first, her voice soft but trembling. "Do you think she'll come back? Kahani... she won't just disappear, will she?"

His father paused mid-step, rubbing his temples as if trying to push the chaos in his mind. He sighed heavily, shaking his head. "No, kahani won't do anything. She's already ran away once. She's not coming back. We've been through enough already. There's no point in worrying about her anymore."

Arohi, glanced at Randhir, searching for reassurance. But Randhir's expression was unreadable, his eyes distant, lost in thoughts he kept to himself.

Randhir's father continued. "This isn't going to solve anything tonight. Everyone should go to sleep. We'll deal with this in the morning."

The house had grown quiet as everyone finally drifted off to sleep. Randhir had fallen into a deep slumber, unaware of the growing danger outside. Arohi suddenly stirred. There was a strange warmth in the air, and a smell that made her sit up.

Her heart raced as she quickly threw off her blanket and hurried to the window. When she pulled back the curtain, her eyes widened in shock. The house was on fire. Flames were roaring outside, lighting up the night, and thick smoke was rising into the sky.

"Randhir!" she shouted. She shook him awake, her voice trembling. "Randhir, wake up! The house is on fire!"

Randhir blinked awake, but the urgency in Arohi's voice snapped him into action. Without hesitation, she helped him sit up, quickly positioning his wheelchair beside him. "We have to move, now," she said, guiding him into the chair as fast as she could.

Once he was seated, Arohi pushed the wheelchair towards the door. The smell of smoke was stronger now, seeping through the walls. Fear tightened her chest, but she kept moving. They had to warn the others.

Arohi ran down the hall, pushing Randhir and shouting for their parents. "Mom! Dad! Get up! The houseis on fire!" She banged on their door.

As all of them gathered in the hallway, panic gripped the air. Smoke was now seeping in from every direction, curling around them and making it harder to breathe. The house felt like a trap, and the fire was closing in fast. Randhir, his parents, and Arohi stood helpless, looking around for an escape.

Suddenly, Randhir's phone rang. Arohi, quickly picked it up. She brought it to her ear, and on the other end was Kahani.

Kahani's voice was cold and calm. "If you're lucky enough, you will survive."

Before Arohi could respond, the call ended. The family stood frozen for a moment, realizing that the fire wasn't just an accident it was a part of something bigger, something personal.

"We can't escape!" Arohi said.

Randhir's father pounded his fist against the nearest door, but it doesn't open. "Why isn't this door opening?"

Randhir turned to Arohi with fear in his eyes and shown sign language. "If we don't get out of here, something could happen to all of us!"

"There must be another way!" Arohi shouted, desperately scanning their surroundings.

Randhir's mother started to cry, her voice breaking. "Will we ever survive? What is happening?"

Randhir gripped the wheels of his chair tightly, pushing down the fear that threatened to consume him. "We need to think. Can we get down from the roof?"

"Roof? Maybe we can do something from there!" Arohi said.

"Then let's go there!" Randhir's dad said.

As they turned to head towards the roof, they heard the sound of cracking wood and felt the heat intensifying. Arohi pushed Randhir's wheelchair as fast as she could.

"We can see from here! Arohi pointed toward a stairway that led to the roof. "We need to climb from here"

The flames roared around them, and just as they were about to escape, Arohi tripped and fell, her cry of pain cutting through the chaos. Randhir's father rushed to her side, but it became clear, they couldn't make it out. The fire blocked every exit.

Inside the house, panic set in. Randhir's mother, tears streaming down her face, clutched her hands together. "We did wrong to Kahani... this is our punishment. She's doing this to us."

Randhir, slumped in his wheelchair, felt her words pierce through him. Guilt washed over him, and he couldn't stop the tears from falling, streaking down his face.

"At least Ranvijay is safe," his father muttered.

■

Ranvijay sat in his car, staring at the towering building of his family's company. He knew what awaited him inside the title of CEO, the position they had been preparing him for ever since he was a boy. But now his family's legacy felt tainted, poisoned by their betrayal of Kahani, the woman he had loved and respected.

He hated them for what they had done to her, and now, he knew he couldn't go along with their plans. He would never run this company built on the ruins of other people's lives.

As he walked into his office, his PA greeted him with a warm smile. "Good morning, sir. Congratulations on becoming the new CEO!"

Ranvijay gave a tight smile but didn't stop to engage. He went straight to his desk, pulled out a resignation letter, and handed it to her. "I'm stepping down as CEO," he said.

The PA blinked in shock, unsure if she'd heard him correctly. "Sir... what?"

"And," he continued, "I'll be donating all my money to charity. Every penny I have."

The PA's jaw dropped, but Ranvijay didn't give her time to respond. He stood up, ready to leave everything behind. Soon, all would learn his decision and he was ready to face them.

"I don't need to deal with this anymore. I can move forward with Kahani without any problems." He murmured to himself, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

His PA entered, handing him a neatly organized file. "These are all the documents, sir. For your final signatures."

Ranvijay opened the file, his eyes scanned the pages filled with details of the company.But then, his gaze fell on a document that sent a chill through him. His heart sank as he realized it was from Kahani, divorce papers.

"No... what is this?" he whispered, his hands trembling as he held the paper.

He felt as if the ground had shifted beneath him. He couldn't understand why she would send him such papers when he had been planning a future together.

With a broken heart, he stood up, the file slipping from his fingers as he clenched his fists. "I have to understand her. Why is this happening between us?"

He made his way to meet her, the weight of the divorce papers heavy in his pocket. He needed answers, and more than anything, he wanted to fight for what they had. The thought of losing her was unbearable, and he was ready to confront whatever it was that stood between them.

Kahani sat on a bench in the park where she and ranvijay met for the first time, tears streaming down her face as she clutched a tissue.

"None of this was in my hands." She whispered to herself.

She looked out at the playground, where children were laughing and playing. "Ranvijay was a dream for me. At first, I thought he was just part of my plan, but now... now I love him."

She had always intended to use Ranvijay but somewhere along the way, she had fallen for him deeply and completely. "He stood against his family for me. Did I make him go against them?"

Signing the divorce papers had felt like the only way to protect him, to spare him from the consequences of their love. "He deserves happiness, and I am just complicating his life."

Kahani took a deep breath, wiping away her tears. "I have to do this, no matter how much it hurts."

Just then, she heard footsteps approaching and looked up to see Ranvijay standing a few feet away. The sight of him made her heart skip a beat.

"Jay," she whispered, the name escaping her lips like a prayer. In that moment, she realized that no matter how much pain lay ahead, her love for him was still alive within her.

Ranvijay stormed towards Kahani, his heart pounding with anger and confusion. He couldn't believe what he had just read, the divorce papers she had sent him. Without hesitation, he threw the papers at her. "Kahani, why did you send this? Why did you send me this?"

Kahani's sobs intensified, the pain in her chest growing unbearable. She couldn't find the words to explain. All she could do was cry, her heart aching at the sight of him so angry and hurt.

Ranvijay took a deep breath. "I love you, Kahani. More than anyone else, don't you understand that."

His words hung in the air between them, but they only seemed to deepen her sorrow. "I don't care about my family; they have only caused you pain."

Kahani looked up at him, tears streaming down her cheeks. His words pierced her heart, and she struggled to find her voice. "But, Ranvijay, do you think I love you just for a plan?"

Silence fell between them, and Ranvijay's expression changed as he understood her hesitation.

Kahani stepped forward and hugged him tightly. "Ranvijay! I only did this for you because I truly love you. You were supposed to be part of the plan, but I love you deeply."

But then, he pretended to consider her request. "Alright, if that's what you want, I'll sign these divorce papers."

Hearing that, Kahani's tears spilled over even more. "No, no, Ranvijay! Don't do this!"

Seeing her cry broke his heart. In a swift motion, he grabbed the divorce papers from her trembling hands and tore them apart. "I won't let you do this, Kahani! I love you, and we will be together!"

Kahani looked at him, her eyes wide with shock. "You did this... why?"

"Because I can't live without you. You are everything to me."

In that moment, all her doubts and fears melted away.

As they stood wrapped in each other's arms. Ranvijay gently lifted Kahani's chin, looking deep into her eyes. He leaned down and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

"Wife," he said softly, a smile breaking across his face. "from now on I am no longer Ranvijay Oberoi."

Kahani's heart swelled at his words, her breath catching in her throat. She searched his eyes, wondering what he meant.

"Oberoi is no longer my identity; only you are my identity from now on Ranvijay kahani."

She realized that he was willing to let go of everything he had known for her sake.

"Ranvijay," she breathed, her voice barely a whisper. "What are you saying?"

He smiled, brushing a tear away from her cheek with his thumb. "I only want you, Kahani. Living with you and being with you is the most important thing for me."

"I love you, Ranvijay," she whispered. "Ranvijay. And now I truly love you, just for you."

He chuckled softly. "Then we both begin a new journey, without any fear."

Kahani's pov

Everything changed the moment I married Randhir. He was my first love, the man I thought would give me everything. But I was wrong. He played with my heart, tore me apart piece by piece. He hurt me in ways I never thought. And he killed our baby, the one piece of hope I had left, and then threw me away with a divorce like I meant nothing.

I thought that was it for me. That love would never find me again. I had built walls around my heart, convincing myself that I was done with trusting anyone. But then I met Ranvijay. He was supposed to be just a part of my plan, a pawn in my game to destroy the people who had destroyed me. But somewhere along the way, I fell for him. I loved him so hard it scared me. Randhir told him that I wasn't worth of his surname when he divorced me but few days back I stood infront him with the same surname by marrying his brother.

Together, we did what we needed to do. I took my revenge, piece by piece. I watched Randhir's family crumble, watched them pay for what they did to me. Now, they're trapped in the hell they created for themselves flames rising higher, their guilt suffocating them. And for the first time in a long while, I feel free.

I finally did what I wanted. I took control of my life, my story. And now, both Ranvijay and I are leaving from here, leaving all the pain behind. We're about to start a new life, away from the chaos, away from the past.

This time, I'm the one who wrote the story. I am kahani and this is Kahani's kahani.
