"Well, I can't believe that you had no idea about the scam," the journalist replied.

He was getting harsh on Miral, trying to get on her nerves and make her say something that could be used against her.

"Well, I do believe that you can't believe my words. But the truth is very well presented before everyone," Miral politely replied.

"How can you say that?" He argued.

"Have you heard the phrase, even walls have ears?" She asked.

"Yes!" The journalist replied.

"So think. Such a sensitive deal, and such a smart politician. Would he commit the mistake of discussing about it or flexing about it in the four walls of his house? When he knows that anyone can snitch on him. That too for thirty eight years? " Miral questioned.

"But then, how did this news leak now?" Another journalist got up and asked.

"Well, snitches are everywhere. And everyone knows my father's critical condition. The opposition or someone from the party might have thought that this must be the right time," she answered.

    Miral returned home post work, she kept her bag on the table and sat on the couch.Aditya looked at her and was surprised. He thought that Miral would be extremely pissed off and would lash at him as soon as she would return from work, but neither did she look frustrated, nor did she look like she was in a mood to fight with him.He slowly walked towards her and sat beside her."I'm tired," Miral muttered."Hmm," Aditya nodded."Can I have one beer today? I have been through a lot and I need to have it," she snubbed.Aditya nodded, he got up and walked towards the fridge. He pulled out a bottle of beer from the fridge and walked towards Miral. He handed over the bottle to her.Miral looked at him and gave him a mild smile while taking the bottle. She quickly opened the bottle and took a gulp of the drink and sighed."My own family has turned into my foe," Miral chuckled.Aditya didn't say a word."Well! All thanks to you," she spoke, turning towards him."I had no idea your family wou

    "Akshita!"Manohar shouted at her daughter's words.That's when they heard a knock at the door. Manohar turned around just to see one of his staff standing there. He glared at the staff."Sir, I have a news," the staff muttered."What happened?" Manohar asked calmly.Even though he hated the disruption caused by his staff but still he had to listen."I got an intel that things might turn troublesome for Aditya sir," the staff muttered."What happened?" Manohar asked, looking a bit worried."I don't know what, but it's being said that the media got some news about Aditya sir and they're going to broadcast it some time," he spoke.Manohar rubbed his forehead in frustration. He looked at Akshita who looked frustrated and angry at Chandravanshis. He wondered about Aditya and had no idea what his son was doing with Miral, and now some other news about Aditya. He felt extremely stressed out."Okay! You may go," Manohar ordered the staff.The staff nodded and then walked away."Now what hap

    "What?"Aditya was shocked by Miral's move. He couldn't believe for a second that she would do this."Our party is eager to welcome you. They will love to have you on board, that's why you just have to sign these papers," Miral winked."I would never side with the Chandravanshis. No matter what it takes," Aditya growled in anger."Who Chandravanshis?" Miral pouted.Aditya looked at Miral, completely surprised. Miral smirked."Have you forgotten? My darling husband. My baba isn't at the party anymore. He has been sacked... And about me, I am no more a Chandravanshi. I am Miral Shekhawat," she spoke, taunting him.Aditya stood there, speechless, thinking about the perfect counter to Miral's actions but he couldn't think of any."You're in the news headlines. You're considered as an outcast, good for nothing, and what not. It's been said that your father doesn't even trust you. So tell me, how will you handle this all? How are you going to prove your worth? By doing nothing and proving t

    "So, Mr Awasthi. Can you tell me how did your son land up in this condition?" Ranveer asked Naman Awasthi, a rich businessman whose son was in ICU due to the consumption of deadly narcotics."He... He consumed some deadly narcotics without my knowledge. If I would have known he would do something like that, I would have kept the substances away from him," Naman answered in a low tone."Do you know, that consumption of Narcotics is illegal?" Ranveer retorted."Yes. I know, and this is why I didn't opt to file a case even though my son can potentially lose his life." Naman's voice was breaking in guilt."Even though you didn't file any complaint, we still can arrest you. Are you aware of that?" Ranveer retorted.Naman silently nodded."But we won't. If you tell us the name of the suppliers," Ranveer calmly muttered.Naman looked at Ranveer, completely surprised by his advances. He knew Ranveer as an honest officer, he never thought that Ranveer would be up for negotiations.Ranveer unde

    The moment Miral hugged Aditya, he felt like his entire world stopped revolving there. He felt her embrace and it felt so warm that it imprinted on his heart.He slowly moved his hands and placed them on her back, hugging her back. His heartbeat had fastened and even at that moment, he wanted the time to stop so that they could remain like this for long.After a while, Miral broke the hug. Aditya looked at her and smiled."What happened?" He asked. "Baba! Baba regained his consciousness," she sighed.The moment Aditya heard that news, his expression changed. Just a moment ago, he was feeling happy, but now, he felt infuriated. The news changed his mood, and it was evident that he wasn't happy about it."Baba! He regained his consciousness, Aditya. He will be fine soon now," Miral chirped, hugging Aditya once again.This time, the hug didn't feel warm to him anymore. In fact, it pinched him. The news pinched him.After a while, Miral broke the hug and looked at Aditya."What happened?

    "Baba!"Miral cried out. She couldn't hold herself anymore and rushed to her Baba who was lying in the hospital bed. She held his hands and started crying bitterly.Raghuveer looked at her daughter's face and a mild smile appeared on his lips. He felt as if he was seeing her after ages and seeing her gave a certain amount of happiness to him."M.. Miru.." He stammered in a weak tone."Yes! Baba," Miral responded, looking at her father.On the other hand, Shakshi, Seerat and Ranveer were watching this reunion from the window while standing outside the ward room. Where Ranveer felt happy witnessing this bond of the father-daughter duo, Sakshi and Seerat felt agitated."That's the girl, who's the reason for my husband's doom, and see, how is she behaving? Crying and wailing as she cares about her baba," Sakshi's tone was bitter."I'm not liking this, Mumma. I don't think Miral deserves to be here," Seerat responded."My husband considered her younger daughter as his pride. He used to bli

    "What?" Miral was shocked at Aditya's sudden demand. She didn't expect him to demand something like that ever in her life and now when he did that, she was taken aback."Didn't you hear me clearly? You will have to kiss me today," Aditya repeated his words."Are you serious?" Miral questioned. She couldn't believe what Aditya said, and that's why she expected that maybe he was joking."I am. You're my wife. I do deserve a kiss before you go and stay with your parents," Aditya taunted.Miral was out of words about the way Aditya was behaving but she couldn't say much. All she knew was that she had to stay with her Baba at any cost and if that's what Aditya wants, he would get it for sure."Fine! I will kiss you," Miral sighed."I will be waiting for you today, then," Aditya responded and hung up the call."What has gotten into him?" She questioned herself as she rubbed her forehead and walked towards her Baba's ward.The moment Miral reached the corridor, Sakshi was standing there, s

    While Aditya and Miral kissed, they could sense a strong sense of attraction towards each other and thus, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't leave each other's lips. They continued kissing for a long while.Miral wrapped her arms around Aditya's neck while he held her waist tighter and pulled her closer. Soon enough the kiss turned sloppy as they involved their tongues, smooching each other. They just didn't want to let each other go.After a while, they broke the kiss due to lack of breath and looked at each other. The closeness was still intact, both were breathing heavily as their warm breaths brushed against each other's skin. They tried to break apart, but their grip was so strong that they couldn't. They didn't know what was happening, they wanted to stay close but they couldn't, they wanted to move far away but their hearts weren't allowing them to.Miral closed her eyes tightly as she slowly unwrapped her arms and held Aditya's hands that were around her waist.

    Three Months Later"You're not going to tie me tonight," Aditya growled."Oh I will," Miral winked."Nope. Not happening." Aditya sounded stern in his words.Miral looked at him and let out a smirk.The moment Miral did that, Aditya pouted."We made a deal that one night you're gonna dominate in the bed, and the other night I will. But from three days, you're the one dominating," he complained like a little kid."But you do like it na," she teased him.Aditya gritted as he got out of bed and rushed towards Miral. Even before she could react, he held her by her waist and pulled her close to him. Miral immediately bumped into Aditya's chest and looked at him."Aditya, what are you doing?" She questioned."Romancing my wife," he slyly responded."We have to leave for work. You know we have an important rally today," she spoke, trying to push him away."The rally is at 10:00 am, and it's 8 in the morning now. I can romance my wife now," he teased."Adityaaa!"

    As Miral left the place, Manohar and Akshita looked at each other, surprised by whatever she had to say."Is she trying to manipulate us for her personal benefit?" Akshita questioned Manohar."No! I can say when a person is saying the truth and so, I can claim that whatever she said, she had no personal vendetta against it," Manohar responded.Akshita went quiet. Post Miral's departure, all Manohar could think was about Aditya. How he started despising him when he was a little boy and didn't even know what was happening around him. How he chose to ignore all of his son's efforts just because he didn't believe in the path of truth. Miral made him understand that not every time the path that he thinks to be true can be true. Sometimes, one has to choose the wrong path to do the right deed, and Aditya did that. The more he started to think from Aditya's point of view, the more he realised that Aditya had to suffer in life for no reason at all. And that made him feel guilty."Akshita,"

    "Few criminal records against Miral?" Seerat questioned, surprised by Ranveer's statement."Yes," Ranveer agreed.Seerat went silent for a moment. She knew what that meant and for the fact, she always knew that Ranveer would always choose his duty before anything else and her heart sank a bit."So, are you going to arrest her?" She questioned.Ranveer chuckled as if he understood Seerat's fear. He looked at her."No. Because there's more to it," he answered."What?" She was getting confused."Somehow, the cases have been altered in a manner that no matter what happens, no one can prove Miral guilty of those crimes. No matter how hard we try. So, even if we arrest Miral, we can't prove her guilty," he reasoned out.Seerat was surprised. For first, that somehow Miral couldn't be proven guilty and secondly, Ranveer was a bit too calm about this."How's that possible?" She questioned."Someone made sure that this could be made possible," he answered."Who?" Seerat was surprised."Aditya S

    "I have to put an end to this," Miral muttered, as she broke the hug after a while."What?" Aditya questioned."All of this. I have to stop thinking about Baba and that family who just cared about their own selfish needs. I have to stop it all," Miral confidently spoke."What are you going to do?" Aditya asked, surprised at her sudden change of behaviour."You wanted your revenge from Baba, right Aditya?" She questioned, looking at him.Aditya was surprised. He stared at her, not knowing what to say."Answer me, Aditya," Miral demanded.Aditya took a deep breath before looking at her and answering it. He knew this was a sensitive topic for both of them. "Miru! I love you. But I can't chose you over my mom and the justice she deserves. I want my revenge from Raghuveer. I want to destroy him," he honestly admitted.Miral did felt bad when she heard those words from Aditya, but she knew where he was coming from and she knew what he and his mom must have gone through. So even if she foun

    "I'm sorry sir, but you are not the MLA anymore. Also, you do not have any sort of political backing anymore. In fact, the chairman of the political party you were involved with earlier, has agreed for your arrest," Ranveer calmly spoke."What? How? How can that be possible? No. No. They can't do this to me. I'm a senior member of the party," Raghuveer screamed.That was the moment when Seerat entered the Chandravanshi house and witnessed the way Raghuveer was reacting. She knew about her father's arrest and she somehow wanted to convince Ranveer to stop her Baba's arrest. Her heart ached seeing Raghuveer like that, all panicked and not being able to figure out what to do. She looked at Sakshi who looked equally helpless.Seerat quickly rushed to Ranveer and held his hand. Ranveer looked at her, and he somehow felt what she tried to express with her eyes. It felt like as if she was pleading him to somehow stop Raghuveer's arrest.Raghuveer at that time saw Seerat and Ranveer and at t

    As Miral started crying in Aditya's arms, Aditya somewhat knew what might have happened there. He felt a sudden rush of anger and wanted to break the bones of Raghuveer, but seeing Miral in that condition, he stopped himself. He let her cry for as long as she wanted, he didn't console her or tried to say something to comfort her. He knew nothing in this world would be able to comfort her.After a while, Miral broke the hug and looked at Aditya. Her eyes had turned red from crying. It expressed the pain she was feeling and while holding that pain, she chuckled."I get it now, Aditya. I get it. Why you used to hate me, why you hated the entire Chandravanshi bloodline. I get it all," she muttered while faking a smile."Miral," Aditya gasped, not knowing what to say."No. No. My entire bloodline, it's just selfish. Everyone is selfish. Seerat Di... She's selfish for her love. She loved Ranveer jiju so much, that she went against Baba in a heartbeat. And now, baba! He's so selfish for his

    Miral had no idea how to react to the words that Raghuveer just said. She thought that he would react to the fact that she got married to Aditya and fell in love with him, but instead, he was more concerned about his MLA's position."What?" She spat in a state of utter shock."Yes! Give me back my MLA seat. You are a worthless girl, and you do not deserve that seat. You chose to side with the enemies, and you chose to cheat in order to have that seat. Give it back to me," Raghuveer shocked.Miral couldn't believe the way Raghuveer was reacting. She did expect him to get angry, but his anger was directed somewhere else. She looked towards Ranveer and Seerat, they looked equally shocked, and when she looked at Sakshi, her expressions clearly expressed that she knew how Raghuveer would react.And that was the moment of realisation for Miral. Every word that Aditya had said about Raghuveer, every perspective that Aditya had for him. It was all right. It was all correct, and that broke her

    The minute Miral made the announcement, Aditya and Naveen were shocked. None of them thought her to be so confident about the decisions she was making."Now, let's go, Aditya," Miral muttered as she held Aditya's hand and walked towards the car. As Miral and Aditya settled down in the car, Aditya looked at Miral. He was utterly surprised."What happened?" She asked."Are... Are you sure you're going to tell this to your baba?" Aditya asked."Hmm," she responded."Miral, you know na, your baba won't react happily to this. He would create a ruckus and his reaction would be hard on you," Aditya muttered.Miral took a deep breath."Even though we all know that Baba's reaction would be hostile toward me, but somewhere in my heart I believe that he would listen to me, he would understand me and my feelings. Maybe he won't accept us, but he won't go out of his way to hate us. Baba loves me too much, Aditya," she hopefully spoke."This is going to be a hard pill to swallow, Miral. But trust

    The way Naveen said that Miral could sense something wrong but she didn't react at that moment."You can try with whatever you have, Naveen. But, I am not marrying you," she confidently replied and walked towards her room.The moment Miral was out of the place, Sakshi looked at Naveen."Naveen. You're a good guy, but I think you should try to convince Miral's baba that you don't want to marry her," Sakshi told."What? Why?" Naveen was shocked."She's already married and she had claimed that she loves the son of Manohar Shekhawat. So there's no point, and lastly, whatever Miral has done in these few days when Raghu will get to know about it, he will throw Miral out and sever all ties with her. That's going to impact your career too as he will destroy your career too. So why would you want such a downfall to your life?" Sakshi questioned."Aunty, I love Miral. I can go to any extent for her," Naveen asserted."Love is good, Naveen but obsession isn't," Sakshi responded and walked out."
