She was raped and killed

1 month later,

"Mrs Abhimanyu, this is just a ridiculous idea. We are not into it'' one of the board members shouted at Sitaara.

"If your life is dear to you, make sure your tone is in its pitch, Mr Govind" Naman warned while Sitaara was watching everything silently, eating her apples.

"Vinay bhaiyya, can you get me juice out of these fruits. I don't want to waste my energy in chewing them" Sitaara pouted while all the board members were looking at her ludicrously.

Vinay being the loyal PA to the CEO, nodded his head before making his way out of the conference hall.

"Mrs Abhimanyu, what's all this? If you want to eat and grow your fat like-"

"You bastard-"

Naman and Dhruv were cut off by Sitaara.

"Mr Naman Chowdary and Mr Dhruv Chowdary, calm down," Sitaara said calmly and clapped her hands when Vinay brought the juice.

"Thank you, bhaiyya," she said grabbing the juice glass and gulping it down. Naman and Dhruv suppressed their laugh understanding their sister in law's silence.

She started sipping her juice looking at her wedding ring moving her chair to and fro.

"Naman, I guess your brother cheated me telling me it's a true diamond. See, it's not shining anymore" she pouted her lips. Naman suppressed his laugh and scrutinized her ring.

"It's a true diamond, Vadhina. Just like my brother. Your Mani" Naman said and kissed her knuckles. She smiled and stood up placing the glass on the table.

Pulling her coat closer, she leaned front just like Abhi, narrowing her eyes, looking at every man in the conference man.

"Mr Govind seems like you are too bald for your age," she said making everyone laugh. She grinned like a kid.

"Mrs Abhimanyu, stop this ridiculous behaviour. Will you?" He shouted. She pulled her lips together and placed her hand on her stomach.

"You see, my little Abhimanyu is getting irritated with your screams for an hour, Mr Govind. I wish you respect my little Abhimanyu's sleeping time" she said rubbing her palm over her flat 2 months baby bump.

"Mrs Abhimanyu-"

"Stop with your fucking objection, Mr Govind" Sitaara screamed suddenly making everyone flinch.

"You sold yourself to our competitive company and are buying all these fucking pieces of shits to object this new idea for the development of the company which was approved by Massachusetts Institute when I presented the very same idea in my college days. This company works for people more than itself. Till Abhimanyu Chowdary is alive this company never gonna lose its values which laid a foundation for this development. I won't let this contract go and keep people's lives at stake. I negotiated this strategy to increase the value of the shares, production, bringing the best in people, good rate of consummation for products and worthy for the investors to invest everything they have" she shouted slamming her hands on desk.

"We agree," everyone said in unison, sweating at her true form.

"Well, that was easy" Sitaara patted her back.

"Wooh! Vadhina(sil) you have rocked today" Dhruv said walking to her as everyone left. Naman smiled.

"Did I overreact?" She asked. Naman chuckled.

"You scared them. Poles attract a lot. Anna never speaks anything but his gaze is enough to make them piss in their pants and you just spoke a lot and your tongue was enough to make them piss in their pants" Naman said laughing. Sitaara narrowed her eyes.

"You mean am a woman who has a big mouth and shout at everyone?" she asked narrowing her eyes.

"You surely have a big mouth but it doesn't hurt anyone. What I meant earlier was, you have that power to convince everyone within seconds" Naman said. Sitaara grinned.

"Am sure, tomorrow, we are gonna crack the deal" said Dhruv grinning from ear to ear. Sitaara nodded and was about to hug her brothers-in-law when they opened their arms coming towards her, she puked everything on them.

"Oops, am sorry," Sitaara said cupping her mouth while Naman and Dhruv looked at her belly accusingly.

"You are a possessive brat like your father!!" They yelled at sitaara's stomach before leaving to the washroom. Sitaara giggled and rubbed her stomach carefully.

"You are a good boy, monkey. Now, go back to sleep. Your uncles are ugly brats" she said patting her flat belly.

***

"Hey! Husband" Sitaara chirped looking at Abhi throwing her coat on the couch.

"You know, our possessive monkey made me puke everything on Naman and Dhruv" she giggled with tears, walking towards Abhi.

"I missed you. A lot. I love you" she whispered caressing his cheeks.

"He is missing you" she whispered placing Abhi's hand over her stomach. Sakshi caressed her head. Sitaara broke down into tears she was holding since she left Abhi in the morning.

"Ask him to wake up, athamma(mil). I'm missing him a lot" she cried hugging her stomach. Sakshi kissed her head telling soothing words.

"Hello, Sitaara," Vikram said coming inside. She looked at him wiping her tears and nodded her head at him with a smile.

"You go and fresh-up, Situ. His wounds are still fresh and it will be infectious as you came for office" he said sitting beside Abhi on the bed.

"I will be with him till then" he smiled at her with a smirk from inside. Sitaara nodded and stood up.

"I will bring something for you and Situ, Vikram. Take care of Abhi" Sakshi said and went away Vikram nodded his head. Once he was all alone with Abhi, he smirked and stood up. Walking towards the medicine box placed on a nightstand, he opened it.

"Vikram" Sitaara called him from behind. He froze and his hands started sweating.

"Vikram, what are you doing there?" Sitaara asked coming towards him. He turned to her chuckling nervously.

"I was feeling a little hot and I found A.C. remote here. So, I was about decrease temperature" he lied easily. She nodded her head.

"Why did you come back?" He asked.

"I just forgot to place my watch here. So...you know right, I don't like to keep my things away from their places where they must be. So, am here. Take care of Mani till athamma(mil) come back" Sitaara said.

"And am back, Situ. Vikram doesn't need to stress" Sakshi came inside with ice cream bowls. Sitaara squealed as her eyes fell on her chocolate ice creams.

"No! Until you freshen up. Am not gonna give you this. Go" Sakshi ordered making Sitaara go away pouting. Sakshi chuckled and looked at Vikram who groaned mentally. Flashing a fake smile, he took ice cream and left after eating to release his frustration as his hideous plan was ruined.

***

Sitaara came out of the shower, dressed in red Kurti and red palazzo. She sat beside Sakshi feeding her details about her day eating her ice cream.

"Isn't mamayya(fil) home?" She asked Sakshi.

"He is out on some work, Situ. Will be here soon" Sakshi wiped Sitaara mouth with her saree free end.

"Okay! I have gotta some work. I will be hereafter some time. You have your time with your husband" Sakshi said before leaving the room. Sitaara rang Aman walking to Abhi and he lifted the call at the second ring.

"Mamayya(fil) I have approved the new plan of that construction site. It is quite interesting and impressive. Am sure, our dealers will invest in our company" said Sitaara looking at Abhi sitting beside him.

"That's great, beta. Actually, today I met Mr Singhania who came to the party they were praising you a lot, Mrs Singhania kept on bragging about you. Trust me beta, she went on Sakshi" said Aman through the phone call which was on speaker. Sitaara smiled.

"I need a file from your study, the one which needed your sign. Can I take it, mamayya(fil)?" Asked Sitaara.

"You don't need to ask, Sitaara. Go and take it. I have kept it in 3rd row" said Aman.

"Okay! Mamayya, come soon. Bye" said Sitaara and hung the call.

"Did you hear it, Mani? Mr and Mrs Singhania are praising me. But little I know it's because of you and mammaya(fil). During my free time he used to teach me about business and working with you late at night, you explaining me many things really laid a foundation for me to deal with business" said to him caressing his face as tears escaped his eyes.

"You know I have a surprise for you, except I, mom and athamma(mil) no one knows about it. I will tell you and others on your birthday. You will be very much excited, love" she said and pecked his lips.

"Your babies are idiots. Just like you. They never let me concentrate on my work, make me run all the time, stupids like you always tries to gain my attention, not to forget possessive too. When Dhruv or Naman talk to me closely, they made me puke on their shirts" she said giggling.

"Oops!! Did I say babies? Forget it! It was meant to be a surprise. It's only baby for now" said Sitaara hiding her happiness.

"I have completed my second month of pregnancy, Mani. Without you. Am missing you. Wake up please" she whispered.

"Am currently temporary CEO of your....sorry...our company. Every day they keep me busy and am sure am making Vinay bhaiyya pull hair out of his scalp with my rescheduling thing. Am trying my level best to be on time and am doing it but I don't feel satisfied. All the ladies are against my decision of working, Mani because am pregnant. You tell me, Mani. Am I wrong to work at this condition?" Asked Sitaara.

"Yes!" Came a voice from the door. She turned back and saw Anish and Rishi. It's their usual habit to visit Abhi early in the morning and in the evening. Even in the busy schedule, they make sure to spend their time at least 6 hours a day and talk about their happy moments so that Abhi show some signs of coming out of the coma but they were disappointed every time.

"See, Mani even these stupid friends of yours agreeing with all the ladies in both the houses," said Sitaara pouting.

"We are not against you working, Situ. We are against the period you chose to work. This is your 1st trimester, you have been through an emotional ride, then that horrible thing may affect your baby. The first thing Abhi does once he gains consciousness is kicking our asses. Make us run from Kanyakumari to Delhi" said Rishi. Sitaara chuckled.

"He looks like a joker with newly growing hair," said Anish laughing. Sitaara glared at him.

"My husband looks so handsome in every way," she said and pecked his lips.

"Taking disadvantage of my friend, Sitaara. I will complain about you" said Anish with fake anger. She giggled and pecked Abhi's lips again and again.

"Oh my!! Non- Virgin eyes" said Rishi and Anish closing their eyes with palms. Sitaara chuckled.

"Ask him to wake up, anna. How can he give up on me? How unfair it is?" She said with tears. Anish and Rishi looked away wiping their tears.

"He will wake up. My friend isn't a man who gives up. He will wake up for sure" said Rishi holding Abhi's hand.

"These accidents are not common for him, Sitaara. Even when he was 19 he met a huge accident. Doctors gave up. We were told that if he won't wake up within 24 days, there will be no guarantee he will ever wake up. But he did. He woke up" said Anish. Sitaara smiled.

"Did you guys find that bastard who attacked my Mani?" She asked.

"No" they lied. They know it was Vikram but having no proof, they kept it on hold. Riaan is still finding evidence. Disha is still hiding, all the Chowdary's assumes she is in London and talk to her through phone calls once a day making sure Vikram won't track it.

"I appointed Mani's PI in this but why isn't he able to figure out anything. It's been 1 month" mumbled Sitaara.

"Anyways, I need to get a file. Be with him" said Sitaara standing up. They nodded. Sitaara kissed Abhi's forehead and left for Aman's study. She punched the password and entered inside. She went through the rows and piles of Files and suddenly her leg slipped.

"Ahh...Mani..." she screamed and held one of the lockers knobs to save herself from falling. Due to her whole weight on the knob, it broke and she fell on her butt holding her stomach securely. A bunch of photos and a few papers fell on her head.

Shetty's whole family who came to meet Abhi heard Sitaara's scream. Everyone including Rishi and Anish ran to the study and saw Sitaara on the floor.

"Situ...are you fine? Are you hurt anywhere? Tell me, shall we go to the hospital?" Asked Sid and Ved rushing to her.

"No! Am fine. It's just I fell on my butt. Nothing serious. I am not feeling any pain" said Sitaara and stood with the help of her brothers. The bunch of photos scattered in the ground from her lap.

Seeing the person or persons in them, Shetty cousins were shocked. Sitaara was beyond shock. She immediately picked up the photos and look at them closely.

"Suresh uncle, Aman mamayya(fil), Sakshi Athamma (mil), Sita atha(aunt) and...and... Viraj's mom Vindhya aunty?" She whispered shocked.

(Suresh- Vikram's father and Sitaara's aunt's ex-lover.

Sita- Sitaara's aunt, Dev's only sister who went missing for the past 30 years.

Vindhya- Viraj's mom.

In case you guys forgot)

"You guys know our aunt?" Asked Sid to Sakshi.

"Why is Viraj's mom in this? You guys seem very close" said Sitaara looking at Sakshi.

"They are nothing. Put them back" said Sakshi trying to take away them but Sitaara pulled back. She looked into a file and the earth under her feet felt like snatched away.

"Abhimanyu is the son of Sita atha?" Asked Sitaara yelling looking into Abhi's original birth certificate.

"Athamma, don't you think you should explain everything to us?" Shouted Sitaara. Sakshi nodded.

***

Whole Chowdary's and Shetty's sat in the hall waiting for answers. Arjun, Riaan were also present.

"Abhi is not mine and Aman's son," said Sakshi and looked at Sitaara who had tears in her eyes.

"I, Sita and Suresh were best friends. Vindhya is Suresh's only sister. Sita and Suresh were in love since school days. During our college days, we met Aman. Slowly we both too fell in love. After years, when we were done graduating, Aman came to my father asking my hand and he agreed after completing a background check on Aman. Soon we both got married. Sita's family .i.e. Shetty's were searching for a groom for her, she kept on ignoring the marraige topic with many excuses. One day, Sita's father, Krishna uncle fixed her marriage with his friend's son without her consent tired of her baseless excuses. She couldn't even tell about her love for Suresh to Shetty's as Krishna uncle and Suresh's father are business rivals which led to personal rivalry too. Once her marriage was fixed Sita came to Suresh pleading him to marry her but he was reluctant because he want to marry off Vindhya before he get settled in life. Vindhya was his heartbeat and he won't hesitate to go to any extent for her. In his sister's love, he forgot about Sita and their love. But when Sita was forcefully engaged to another person, Suresh alerted. He made a fuss at both Shetty's house and his too. Suresh's father instantly rejected their love. That's when Sita and Suresh eloped but didn't marry as they wanted to get married with their parents' blessings. Shetty's were angry and didn't search for her while Suresh didn't give any hints to his father that Suresh brought Sita from her home and hid her. He wants to say everything once he makes his father understand everything. But Suresh's father somehow knew about it and fixed his marriage with his current wife. Meanwhile, Sita started working for me as my P.A. She was the most wonderful woman ever, she didn't want to depend on Suresh's single rupee until she gets married to him nor want to burden us because we were bet best friends, so she planned work till Suresh marry her" said Sakshi smiling with tears.

"What happened to my aunt, Athamma?" Asked Sitaara holding her hand while all the Shetty's cousins knelt in front of Sakshi. Riaan, Arjun, Rishi and Anish who know half-truths was listening to Sakshi attentively. Elder Shetty's cupped their mouth crying as they came to know what happened to Sita just before Abhi's and Sitaara's wedding.

"She was raped and killed," said Aman standing at the door. All the cousins gasped while painful sobs escaped from Shetty elders.

"What? Who did it?" Asked Riddhanth, Vikranth in unison. Aman walked to them and sat beside Sitaara.

"When Suresh's father didn't accept his love, Vindhya eloped with Harshad. As Harshad is from a poor family, she mentally fixed that there is no chance of accepting him, so without even trying to explain her love to anyone, she went away to Mumbai with Harshad. Suresh was very much angry. His sister who is more than his life choosing a guy over him irked him very badly. After searching for her everywhere, he got drunk fully and to a level where he won't know who is he, what is he doing. As he knew Sita works for Sakshi and stays at Sakshi's apartment, he went there. He tried to force himself on her in alcohol affect. It was not an easy thing for her. Being grown up in an orthodox kind of family, under three brothers' protection, a woman who values traditions and didn't want to get intimate with a man before marriage, she tried to escape from Suresh. But he was nowhere to stop and he wasn't in his senses. And....and...he forced himself on her, tortured his love for the whole night, her screams went unheard, her pleads were kicked by his feet. She was too broken. Snatching away her dignity by a man who she trusted with same dignity, by a man for whom she left her family, broke her beyond repair and she felt mortified to show her face to even Sakshi. Though he wasn't in his senses, forcing a woman is a sin. And sin is a sin. She was not a woman who let a man even if it is her boyfriend or a husband touch her without her consent.

Getting raped by Suresh, she was dead mentally. She couldn't go back to her family too. That early morning, she went missing. Suresh didn't remember anything he did. He thought Sita went back to work and left from there. Getting agitated by Vindhya's going away, Suresh's father made Suresh marry off to his current wife, Vaidehi. He tried his level best to stop the wedding but he was blackmailed to marry or else Vindhya will be killed when she is found. His father tied him from every end and he couldn't even search for Sita. Seeing Vaidehi instead of Sita as Suresh's wife Shetty's started searching for Sita, I started searching for her, Suresh too was searching for her secretly so that his father don't know about his moves. Even then, he didn't know what happened that night. He didn't know why he ended up in Sita's room. What he did to her. After a year, I and Suresh were searching for her together, this time Vaidehi kept a tab on Suresh as he isn't giving her attention, he rarely used to even glance at her. When we were searching together, accidentally she came to know about Sita in a small rural village and she delivered Suresh's baby, our 3 months old Abhimanyu. Vaidehi was in fear that Suresh may go back to Sita, all his properties may get transferred to Abhi, so she planned to kill Sita and Abhi. That's when Arjun parents saw her in that village when they went to buy agricultural lands to build an industry there. Arjun's father was Dev's best friend and he always considered Sita as his own sister. Unknowingly Arjun's father and I both went there simultaneously to get Sita back along with 3 months old Abhi. Men sent by Vaidehi planned to kill Sita and Abhi by making their car with a truck didn't know Sita was in Arjun's parents' car. Fortunately, Abhi was with Sakshi in our car as Sakshi wasn't ready to leave Abhi as loves kids a lot but she couldn't conceive and carved to have a kid and she was like the godmother of Abhi even before his birth. When the accident happened Sita was filled with blood, whereas Arjun's parents were taken to hospital as they were still alive. Sita took a promise from us to take care of Abhi, never letting Suresh know about Abhi because she didn't want Abhi to know his father is a rapist. At that moment I and Sakshi became Abhi's parents. Till today Vaidehi still believes Abhi is also dead in a car accident. We never dared to tell the harsh truth to either Suresh who became miserable without Sita or to Shetty's who were in depression. We planned to keep about Sita's death in dark forever and we did. After few years when Arjun is born, Arjun's parents came to know Vaidehi was the made their car hit with a truck to kill Sita, he and his wife started to Shetty's mansion to tell everything about Sita to Dev, leaving Arjun and Maya at home but Vaidehi killed them on the way" said Aman.

"My parents were killed by Vikram's mom? My uncle and aunt didn't kill them? Because Vaidehi aunty killed them, she took care of me? Was it guilt? Not the love from me?" Cried Arjun falling on his knees.

"Your uncle and aunt planning to kill your parents was true, Arjun. Your father is not an easy-going man, he could easily escape from your uncle's plans but he was dead. Because he and your mom were killed by Vaidehi, not by your uncle- aunt. That's why we couldn't find evidences as she was an unexpected culprit there. We tried to put up her sins but we didn't want Abhi's life to keep in danger" said Aman and wiped his tears.

"If you knew Vikram was the son of that gold-digging bitch why did you let us kids befriend Vikram?" Asked Aarya and Sitaara shouting.

"Because his mom was a sinner. We didn't want him to tag with something bad because of something his mom did and when you guys introduced Vikram to us, it was quite late, you 5 kids stuck to each other and would become violent if we ever tried to even say bad about other. Moreover, you guys were kids, what can we tell you 5 innocent friends who were heroes in each other's eyes? We didn't want to spoil your minds telling about those things" said Sakshi unaware of Vikram's monstrous side. They fell silent.

"Do you all know about this? Abhi as your sister's blood? Shetty's blood? As your nephew, daddy?" Asked Sitaara. Dev nodded.

"We came to know about it when we talked about Abhi and yours wedding. Aman wanted to make Abhi where he actually belong, give his blood-related family to him. So he came with a marriage proposal asking your hand for Abhi but I wasn't ready to give you away this soon. Also, I didn't want to let my nephew so, we were adamant to get Abhi married to one of you and due to known circumstances, you married Abhi as Chowdary's and shetty's except me wished" said Dev.

"You all people made a big mistake by hiding it. What happens if he ever gets to know that his identity is not what he was given? Did you ever think of my husband?" shouted Sitaara crying

"He knows!" Said Anish. Everyone turned their heads to him.

"Yes! He knows that Sakshi Aunty and Aman uncle are not his parents. Aman uncle's sister Haritha told him and used to torture him as he was not Chowdary's blood" said Rishi wiping his tears. Sitaara palmed her face crying.

"He used to tell me, he was alone since his birth, he carved for attention, love and care. I was dumb to never understand him. That's why he used to get happy whenever my family showered him love" cried Sitaara.

"Because of this, unstable relationships, heartbreak after the heartbreak made him a BPD patient, made him a thanatophobic, he gets scared to love himself, he fears to mingle with people because he thinks his parents left him at an orphanage, he scares to be himself because he knows none of the people around him are his real family" shouted Sitaara.

"Athamma-mamayya(mil-fil) because of the promise you gave to my aunt, to your best friend, you made him feel useless, made his life a lie. If not to Suresh uncle, at least you guys would have told my family. My aunt didn't want Mani to know that Suresh uncle was his rapist only. She didn't mean that make him a orphan, a adopted kid, a soul who have to bear the harsh reality which you guys thought you hid it." cried Sitaara.

"We were selfish, Sitaara. We love Abhi so much that we couldn't muster up the courage to leave him. We saw our dead best friend in him" said Sakshi and Aman crying.

"My Mani have me, he has his Sitaara and his babies. He has us" cried Sitaara and ran to Abhi's room.

She looked at him with teary eyes. She ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"I love you. I love you so much, Mani. You have me. I will never leave you, baby" she cried and kissed his lips tenderly.

"Abhimanyu's Sitaara, Mani's Taara, Abhi's Situ, I will be with you for next births too, Mani. Forever together" she whispered caressing his face and rested her forehead on his.

*******************

How was the chapter?

The CEO Sitaara Abhimanyu Chowdary🔥

Abhi's birth secret is out!

I feel bad for Sita and Abhi.

Arjun's parents were killed by Vikram's mom. That's why Arjun could never hurt them although he didn't know the truth. That's what fate is! Unpredictable!

Do you guys hate Suresh? I do!

So, let me clear the confusion if you guys have any,

Abhimanyu is the son of Suresh and Sita.

Vikram is the son of Suresh and Vaidehi.

Viraj is the son of Vindhya and Harshad.

Suresh and Vindhya are siblings.

Dev, Anand, Ananth and Sita are siblings.

Abhimanyu and Vikram are half brothers.

Abhimanyu, Vikram and Sehgal siblings(Viraj, Ishaan and Samaira) are paternal cross cousins.

Abhimanyu and Sitaara are maternal cross cousins.

Suresh is the same man who tortured Harshad and ruined Shegal's life.

Another point:-

I didn't meant to show Abhi's and Viraj's thinking and the way they deal with the things are same because they are blood-related but it's just I wanted to show how true love will make its way irrespective of the situations, how Sitaara's sees the love from the men who owned her heart, it's how one can get the same love yet differently from their loved ones, it's how we find our happiness once again and the love they desire, they deserve.

Surya.
