===================================

Manish placed his hand on Mitali's head and said, "You're absolutely right. From now on, you're not just a servant's daughter, but Manish Mittal's daughter. And whatever happened today, no one should ever find out about it. You wanted a sister, and now you have one. Be happy."

"I don't want a sister, and I don't care about anyone," Gaurav retorted. "As you said, if you didn't fulfill my wishes and didn't listen to me, then I'll expose this truth to everyone." Saying this, Gaurav walked away. The perfect example of milk teeth being shown off was Gaurav and Mitali. Despite knowing the huge truth, both of their faces showed no signs of embarrassment, and instead, they were already thinking about their own benefits at such a young age.

Everyone was shocked, staring at the TV screen. No one could believe that the man standing in the video was Manish, who had been saying for the past two years that he loved his wife.

They couldn't forgive the person who had driven him to such a state and the man who had deceived Archana like this. Archana's gaze was fixed on Manish in the video.

She couldn't feel anything around her. It didn't seem like there were many people standing around her. Her eyes were only fixed on the video, watching Manish's actions and Mitali's mother's words.

Each and every sentence was piercing Archana's heart like a dagger. The trust, love, and faith that had taken years to build were shattered in an instant. Her heart was breaking, and the pain of that break was manifesting as tears flowing from her eyes.

Anokhi was also shocked, watching the video. The pangs of being a daughter had resurfaced in her mind once again. The girl who had caused her so much pain was the daughter of the same man, and this thought brought tears to her eyes as well.

Archana didn't say anything, just stood like a statue, staring at the video. She didn't even notice her mother, whose eyes had lost all sparkle. Anokhi went to her mother and held her hand, saying, "Maa " But Archana didn't respond, just kept staring at the video.

Rishabh said Rohit to turn off the video and approached Archana. Manish, Mitali, and Gaurav had nothing left to say. The dark secrets of their lives had been exposed to everyone.

Alok asked Rishabh, "Rishabh, when did you find out about this, and where did you get this video from?"

"I had only heard about Manish Mittal's love for Mitali, but I saw it with my own eyes at the party. And from that night on, I had been wondering how a father could love someone else's child more than his own. So, I decided to uncover the truth. But after the party, so much happened that I didn't get the time. Then, when I returned to India, I came straight to Dehradun instead of going to Mumbai. It took me just two days to uncover Manish Mittal's truth, and that's why I called you all here today."

Archana slowly moved towards Manish, her eyes blazing with anger. Manish had nothing to say, just stood with his head bowed, unable to meet her gaze.

Archana asked him, "Why did you do this, Manish? What was lacking in me? What necessity of yours was I unable to fulfill, and you had to take the support of others? How many more lies have you told me, Manish? Answer my questions. Why did you deceive me?"

Archna had grasped Manish's collar. Manish shook her hand vigorously and spoke in a loud voice, "Yes, I cheated, what else could I do? You never had time for me. You'd always be busy running after the kids. Whenever I'd try to come close to you, you wouldn't let me. So, I went to Mitali's mother to fulfill my needs. What was my mistake?"

At that moment, Manish was completely out of control. The truth had finally come out, and he was like a madman. He knew he wouldn't be able to escape, so he kept speaking, unaware of what he was saying. He was so caught up in his emotions that he didn't even feel the pain in his legs. He was simply pouring out all his inner filth in front of Archna.

Archna pushed him away and stood up. As she turned to leave, Manish held her foot and said, "I'm sorry, Archna, please forgive me. I won't do it again. Just give me one more chance, I love you so much."

Just then, Anokhi arrived and pulled Manish away from Archna, shouting, "Stay away from my mumma! Don't even touch her. You're not worthy of anyone's love. I thought what happened to me was because you loved Mumma so much, but I was wrong. You only cared about fulfilling your own needs. You're so degraded, and I'm angry with myself for wanting to call you Dad."

Archna intervened, "Let it be, Anokhi. It's good that you never got to call him Dad. He's not worthy of being a father. The mistake was mine; I couldn't understand such a person." Archna's face was expressionless, but her tone was devoid of anger, sadness, or pain.

At that moment, her blank face was enough to convey her deep pain, and Anokhi understood it, bursting into tears as she hugged Archna.

Omkaar grabbed Manish's collar and said in a fit of rage, "How dare you cheat my mother so badly? You've deceived us all for so many years. I won't spare you today." He began punching Manish's face repeatedly, causing his mouth to bleed. His blows were so powerful that they dislocated Manish's jaw.

It was a struggle for Vikram, Praveen, Hardik, and Shivay to pull Omkaar away, or else he would have killed Manish on the spot. Although his death was certain, it wouldn't be that easy.

Rishabh approached Archna and Anokhi, saying, "Mom, this person is not worthy of forgiveness, but punishment." Archna and Anokhi looked up at him.

Rishabh continued, "You two decide the punishment. Since you've been wronged, you choose what it should be. If I decide, remember that in Rishabh Shergill's dictionary, the punishment for such people is only death."

Rishabh's words made Manish, Mitali, and Gaurav's eyes widen in fear, but no one else's expression changed. They didn't care about Rishabh's threats, as they knew he would never spare their lives.

Archana spoke indifferently, without any emotion, "I have no relationship with these people in this house. I only have two children, Anokhi and Omkar. So, I won't be affected by anyone's death. If their punishment is death, then so be it. But as a mother, I must say one thing - they must pay for the pain they have inflicted on my daughter."

Archana's words stunned everyone present. No one expected her to say something like that. However, their surprise was short-lived, as they realized that Archana was, after all, human.

As a wife, she had been betrayed; as a mother, she had seen her daughter in pain. A mother would never tolerate harm to her children and would fight the entire world for them.

Archana had fought for Anokhi's life, so how could she forgive those who had hurt her daughter?

Rishabh held Archana's hand and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Your daughter will avenge every pain they have inflicted on her."

Then, Rishabh signaled to Alok, who took Archana and Prity away from there.

Archana didn't even glance back at the family that had been tormenting her since she regained consciousness.

Manish, Gaurav, and Mitalee kept calling out to her, as they knew that if she forgave them, they could be spared. But Archana ignored them as if they didn't exist.

After they left, only Anokhi, Rishabh, Vikram, Praveen, Hardik, Rohit, Shivay, and Omkar were left, along with Manish, Mitalee, and Gaurav, who were trembling with fear.

Rishabh extended his hand, and Vikram placed a hunter in it. Rishabh handed the hunter to Anokhi and said, "Today is the day to take revenge for every wrong they have done to you. These people didn't just hurt you, they also hurt your mother. You must avenge not just your own pain but also the betrayal inflicted on your mother."

Anokhi looked at Rishabh with her red, fiery eyes, filled with anger and hatred. Her eyes, which had always seemed innocent and joyful, were now blazing with fury.

Anokhi nodded and gripped the hunter tightly, ready to take revenge on Manish.

As Manish watched Anokhi's growing steps, he was reminded of the time when he too used to hold a belt in his hand and scold little Anokhi, who would beg for forgiveness, crying and trembling with fear. She would apologize profusely, even though she wasn't at fault.

As Anokhi's steps grew, Manish's fear within him also began to escalate. He stuttered, "Anokhi, Anokhi, don't...don't hit me. I'm your Papa." But he couldn't complete his sentence.

Suddenly, a loud hunter's voice resonated through the hall, accompanied by Manish's pain-filled cries.

As soon as Anokhi heard the word "Papa" from Manish's mouth, she lost control and, with all her might, hit Manish again, saying, "Don't even take my name from your mouth. My only father is Alok Papa. He's the only one who's my Papa. Beware, don't dare call yourself my Papa. You don't deserve this relationship, nor do you deserve forgiveness or sympathy."

Anokhi continued to hit Manish, her tears flowing like a stream, her face covered in sweat. Her hands were shaking, yet she didn't stop.

With each blow from the hunter, Anokhi's strength increased, and Manish's cries of pain grew louder.

Everyone standing there watched as the man who had inflicted this same pain on a little girl years ago now writhed in agony.

Gaurav and Mitali simply stood there, watching Manish get beaten. His condition had already worsened - his clothes were torn, his body covered in wounds, and blood was oozing out. Not just his body, but his face too had taken a few blows from the hunter, leaving it bloodied.

Mitali and Gaurav were trembling with fear as they watched Manish's state. They couldn't help but think of all the wrongs they had committed against Anokhi.

Today, Anokhi's avatar was no less than that of Kali maa, the goddess of destruction. She had transformed into Kali to destroy the wicked and wouldn't show any mercy.

As Manish began to lose consciousness, Rishabh grabbed Anokhi's hand, stopping her. Anokhi's body was trembling, and she was breathing heavily.

She looked at Rishab with red eyes, and Rishab took the hunter from her hand, saying, "Don't waste all your energy on one person, Cupcake. There are two more people waiting for you."

At his words, Anokhi's gaze fell on Mitali. Rishab signaled Praveen and Shivay, and they nodded, leaving the scene.

After a while, Praveen returned with a bucket of water and poured it over Manish's body, causing him to twist in agony like a fish out of water. The water contained salt, which intensified the burning sensation on Manish's wounds, making him scream in pain.

Manish was writhing in pain and burning, while Shivay arrived with two iron rods that were completely hot and slightly red.

Seeing the rods, Mithali's eyes trembled with fear. She shook her head and said, “No, no, you can’t do this to me.”

Before she could move back any further, Hardik and Rohit grabbed her, and Rohit said, “It’s frightening to see this. You weren’t afraid when you burned my sister in the same way. Do you know why there are two rods here? Because you need to pay back with interest. The pain you inflicted on my sister now has to be borne by you.”

Anokhi came to Shivay and took the two rods with a cloth and went to Mithali.

Mithali was struggling, so Hardik pushed her to the ground, and Hardik, Rohit, Shivay, and Praveen together held her arms and legs.

Anokhi’s hands were trembling badly. She was remembering her own pain. For a moment, she didn’t have the courage to place the burning rods on Mithali’s body.

But then Rishabh came from behind, held Anokhi’s hands, and said, “She is not worth your sympathy. You are not doing anything wrong. You are just doing what was done to you.”

Anokhi looked up at him and nodded in agreement. Rishabh still held Anokhi’s hands, and together they placed the burning rods on Mithali’s thigh.

As soon as the hot rods touched Mithali’s body, a horrifying scream of pain echoed throughout Mittal Villa. Anokhi had tightly closed her eyes, and Rishabh had taken the rods from her hands.

Afterward, Rishabh took Anokhi to Gaurav. Gaurav, crying, said to Anokhi, “Anokhi, Anokhi, forgive me for everything I have done to you till now. I never caused you pain or harm. Do you remember?”

“Yes, I remember. I remember how you pushed me away in childhood. I remember how you sold me so that Dad could profit from your company. I remember how you always made me feel inferior because of my limp. I remember the slap you gave me in Mom’s room, causing me to fall near the table and injuring my head. Most importantly, I remember how you always knew that Mithali was the illegitimate child of this man, that this man was deceiving Mom, yet you remained silent.”

Anokhi began to recount Gaurav’s mistakes one by one, and Gaurav fell silent. He lowered his head, accepting his mistakes and the punishment.

Rishabh loaded a gun and handed it to Anokhi, who shook her head. She took the gun and approached Omkar, looking at his hand, and said, "Mumma wasn't just my mumma she was yours too. I've taken my revenge; now it's your turn to punish these three."

Omkar had been standing silently, his eyes moist as he looked at his little sister, who was always timid and quiet. But today, she stood before him like a lioness. He looked at Rishabh, who nodded slightly.

Omkar placed his hand on Anokhi's cheek and then approached Gaurav, Mitali, and Manish. Gaurav sat silently, his head bowed. Mitali and Manish were writhing in pain. Omkar looked at the three of them and said, "Your cup of sins is full, and now it's time for it to overflow."

Omkar didn't hesitate, firing shots at Manish Mitali and Gaurav's chests without any expression. The sound of the bullet wasn't audible because Rishabh had attached a silencer to the gun, but Omkar felt something shattering within him.

Anokhi might have felt no remorse, but Omkar had considered Manish his father and Gaurav his brother, and today, he had killed them with his own hands.

He sat down on his knees, staring at Manish and Gaurav's lifeless bodies. Tears began to flow from his eyes. Anokhi tightly embraced Rishabh and burst into tears.

Vikram, Hardik, Praveen, Rohit, and Shivay all wore disappointed faces. They didn't feel any grief over the three deaths, but seeing Omkar and Anokhi in this state was unbearable for them.

Vikram approached Omkar, placed a hand on his shoulder, and sat beside him.
