"Rana Sa, apologises for what happened. It was indeed a very reckless and shameful event that unfolded due to turn of situations. He deeply regrets his actions, and for that purpose he has offered a compensation of 2 crores to both Nishant and Indar each. He wishes to pay for their Hospital bills as well as grant them and Mr. Pankaj a 2 month leave." The man spoke blankly, looking at the shocked look of The Sharma Couples. A scornful look upon Indar and Siya's face as she grit her teeth.

Were their loyalty only worth so much, that Rana Sa thought he could buy them so easily?

Little did she know it was Raani Sa who had done this action, to show them their little worth. Truly an apology could not be given if not sincere, it would only sound snooty. The woman didn't even have the decency to write a message to be relayed and only ordered to flounder the money as compensation. Perhaps her children couldn't look at her pathetic attitud, for it was Siddharth and Avyaan that took the job of writing an apology and relaying it to the servant.

Still, the servants would take truly after their masters only, and for the servants from high palace that served the queen of Rajasthan, they couldn't apologize in the right way and it looked as if they were bestowing an apology rather than asking for forgiveness. She was about to speak up, when the worker finally looked at her, and blankly he opened a letter. The letter Avyaan had wrote.

To, Ms. Siya,

Joh galti hamne ki, ham uske ke liye kaafi sharminda hai. Is tarah aapko dard pohochane ka, afsos hai aur koi muaafi itni badi nahi ki aap hame muaaf karsake.

Ham jaante hai, Aisa rishta Jo iss tarah ki harkat ke bad jude, usme bharose ki buniyad nahi hogi. Jaane unjaane mai Naa jaane hamne apko kitna dukh diya, jabki aapne kabhi bhi ek galat kadam na badhaya. Yeh jaante hue bhi, ki aapko aapka parivar kitna pyara hai, humne unhe chhot pohochayi aur iske liye, ham hamesha aapke aage sharminda rahenge. Koi keemat itni badi nahi hai, Jo iss tarah ki giri hui harkat ko khareed sake.

Yeh shaadi, ab iske baad, aapko sirf dard hi degi, isliye hume yeh rishta ab manzoor nahi. Aapko kisi bhi tarah ki taqlif mai dekhna, hame nahi manzoor hai, Isliye hum isse Tod rahe hai. Ek hi umeed hai, ki ab aap jaha rahe, khush rahe.

Ham toh aapki muaafi bhi nahi deserve karte, Siya. Fir bhi, agar aapse hosake, toh hame muaaf kardijiyega.

Rana Sa.

Siya, for a second was so shocked, she couldn't move. It was as if a 360° turn had taken over Rana Sa. Were it the same people who hurt her brothers and wrote this letter? This was exactly what Avyaan wished for when he wrote this letter. It showcased extreme guilt, and whilst it accepted the actions it absolutely contradicted them.

No person could regret hurting somebody and still be so heartfelt in such a short time. He wished to create contradicting thoughts. As long as their would be something to suggest Yuvaraj wasn't as bad as they thought, there was always a chance he could win back his bhabhi sa for his bhai sa.

Avyaan was far more practical, hard headed and black than Yuvaraj. Unlike Yuvaraj for whom lying felt like something against his dignity and went everywhere he did with self respect, Avyaan Singh Chauhan held no such compunctions. He would show the half truth, lie and even manipulate if it served his purpose.

While Yuvaraj never said the true words, he hadn't ever lied either. For Avyaan though, the results mattered way more than the path taken. If failed, what use of such righteousness anyways?

Zoya who had been the one whom the letter had been given by the servant at the end, was looking at the letter shocked. Everybody silent for a while, before everything happened too fast.

A round of gasps arose, as Aaradhya grabbed Siya by her hair, pulling hard before a resounding slap echoed throughout the room. Siya froze, staggering at the impact of the slap. "Maa!" Indar quickly stood up, his eyes glaring at his maa, but was cut of by Aradhya, "Tum sabko meri Kasam, mera mara muh dekhoge agar rokne ki koshish kari toh!"

Her hand lifting, coming down in another harsh slap, which finally pulled Siya out of her shock. Her eyes looking at her mother who furiously hit her continuously. The pelting slaps, bruising instantly. This woman..., it was as if she didn't even love her?

"Khush hai ab tu?!" Her eyes looking at her mother, who yelled crying. "mere baccho ki zindagi kharab karke, unki khushiyaan khake ab khush hai tu?!" She spat, slapping Siya again. "Dayaan kahinki, AB KHUSH HOJA, MERI IZZAT KHA CHUKI HAI TU!"

All of the work, every single act of love Siya had ever done for her mother, coming infront of her eyes. She had sacrificed so much, now when he discarded her, her own mother left her? Did she truly hold no place in her heart?

Tears springing in her eyes, she looked at everybody frustrated, Indar yelled, "Save yourself, Siya. Damn it!"

"Tune Mera parivar Todd diy--" Aradhya's hand was stopped by Siya. Her eyes still taking in the scene, her body aching from the continuous hits her mother, "Kya mai apka parivar nahi, Maa?"

All her life, she had went to give it away to somebody she was sure she could never be happy with. For her mother, she had decided to marry at only 19. For such a mother?

Aradhya pushed her away crying angrily, "No! Tu nahi hai Mera parivar! Tu sirf ek kalank hai meri zindagi pe!"

Siya looked at her, hurt flashing her eyes. She looked down, bitterness blooming in her heart. She spoke, her voice quivering, "Maine koshish ki thi maa.., aapko dukhi na karne ki koshish ki thi." Aradhya pushed her again, furious rage in her eyes. Siya staggered at the harsh push, her hand landing on a small glass showpiece that broke and pierced her hand. She didn't wince, her eyes on the lady she couldn't recognise.

"Toh koshish karte hue mar kyu nahi gayi tu?!"

The pain that bloomed in Siya at her words drowned her. Was she so bad that her own mother wished death upon her?

She felt it was unfair. How could her own mother say such words? She had made it clear it she didn't know, but even after continuous begging her mother didn't offer her even a slight benefit of doubt. Just because a man came up, and claimed her as his, she couldn't wait to get rid of her?

She shook her head, a quiet broken chuckle as if everything became clear when she finally looked in her mother's eyes. "jinke liye dariya paar Karne chali thi," her voice broke, she wiped her tears, "woh toh mere liye ek kadam bhi uthana gawara na samjhi, Maa?" She stared at her mother. She had lost everything, her self esteem, respect, heart, life, everything.

All a bargain, that didn't even get her the love she lost it for. Aradhya sneered, "Tu layak nahi, ek Nazar ke bhi mere. Kadam uthana toh dur, teri taraf dekhna bhi mujhe manzoor nahi."

A fire in her eyes, she quietly spoke, "Then why bear?" "Siya...," Indar spoke, warningly. His eyes showcasing his disbelief. Leave the younger one, no body even wished to think about how furious Nishant would be when he woke up. Everybody stilling but nobody made a move to stop her mother. Siya laughed bitterly, shaking her head. "Kyu Bhai?" She blinked against the tears, speaking with a voice filled with untold agony and fierce anger. "inhone..., pyaar karti hu aap sabse. Khud ki nazron mai gir gayi, inko khush karte hue. Is this the value of my love?"

"Toh nikal ja mere Ghar se agar itni hi zaban hogayi hai Teri toh!" Aradhya screamed, grabbing Siya by her hand."Maa, ab bas Karo!" Indar and her sister in law's tried stopping her without touching her.

Bound by her oath, they couldn't stop the woman as she threw Siya out. Only Zoya following Siya out of the house as Paravati closed the door.

The moment the door closed, all of the strength, bravery and fire left Siya, leaving behind numbing pain. Siya crumbled.

Her legs not being able to hold her wait, she fell sobbing. Zoya quickly reaching out to hold her, hugging her as she tried to comfort her bestfriend, blinking against her own tears.

"Zo-ya...," the poor girl hugged her as if her life depended on it, "Zoya, s-she doesn't love me. Zo.." her voice breaking at every word, making Zoya's heart clench.

She muttered, "Chup hoja, Siyu...," her hands clapping Siya's back. "Sab thik ho jayega, chup hojao." Her eyes flashing anger, looking at the shattered condition of her bestfriend.

"Zoya, Maa Hain woh meri. Kya mai itni buri hu ki Mera marna unko gawara hai, but parivar ke sath hona gawara nahi?"

Zoya shook her head, wiping her tears. "Nahi. Siyu. Tum sabse acchi ho. Unhone hi nahi samjhi, Tumhari value."

She smiled, supporting Siya in standing up. Her smile weak, but sincere, "Toh kya hua agar woh tumhare saath nahi?" She tried sounding cheerful, "Tum mere saath mere room pe chalo. I rented an apartment nearby to stay for your wedding."

Siya cried, in her embrace. "Zoya--" She interrupted sternly, "Stop now Siya. We'll find a way out, for sure. Dont sorry, we'll make it even."

Her eyes flashed, as if remember something. She muttered.

"Aur accha hi hua, woh tere layak nahi siyu."
