Part 53

Shyam’s voice turned heavier.

“After that day… things didn’t stay the same.”

Siya’s heart tightened.

“What do you mean, uncle?” she asked.

Shyam looked away for a moment… as if remembering something painful.

“Your mother didn’t stop trying,” he said.

“She still believed her brother would forgive her one day.”

Siya’s eyes softened… then slowly filled with fear.

“But Abhishek…” Shyam continued,

“…he wasn’t just angry anymore.”

“He was obsessed with his pride.”

A silence fell.

Then Shyam said the words slowly—

“He decided to end everything.”

Siya’s breath stopped.

“What…?”


Shyam closed his eyes for a second.

“The accident that took your mother’s life…”

He looked at Siya.

“It wasn’t an accident.”

Siya’s world shattered.

Her lips trembled.

“No… no, uncle…it can't be ”

Her voice broke.

Shyam nodded painfully.

“Abhishek Mittal planned it.”

Tears rolled down Siya’s cheeks.

Her hands shook violently.

“Abhishek couldn’t accept her betrayal… so he chose to erase it.”

Siya covered her mouth, unable to breathe properly.She thought they even take her life how... her mother death wasn't an accident.


Then suddenly—

“What about Papa…?” she whispered.

Shyam’s expression darkened.

“When Rajveer found out the truth…”

“Rajveer lost himself.”

A dangerous silence filled the room.

“He kidnapped Abhishek.”

Siya’s eyes widened in horror.

“And this time…” Shyam said slowly,

“it wasn’t about love… or forgiveness.”

“It was revenge.”


Siya’s tears didn’t stop.

Shyam looked at her and finished—

“Rajveer killed Abhishek mittal who was once his best friend.”

Shyam’s voice slowed down.

“After your mother… died…” he said quietly,

“everything changed.”

Siya’s eyes filled with fear.

Shyam Said..."once Your father found out the truth.”


Flashback_

The Singhania mansion was drowned in grief.

People gathered.

Whispers filled the air.

In the center of the hall…

Her mother’s lifeless body lay still.

Covered in white.

Little Siya and Veer stood beside her.

Crying uncontrollably.

“Mom… wake up…” Siya shook her gently, her tiny hands trembling.

“Mom, please…” Veer cried, holding her arm. “You said you won’t leave us why are you not waking up mom…”

But their mother didn’t move.

She never would again.

Siya broke down completely.

“Where is Papa…?” she cried desperately.

“Call Papa… please call Papa…”

No one had an answer.

Meanwhile—

IN THE DARKNESS

A deserted warehouse.

Abhishek Mittal was tied to a chair.

His face bruised… but his eyes still burning with arrogance.

The door opened.

Rajveer entered.

His eyes were no longer the same.

There was no warmth.

Only rage.

Only pain.

Abhishek smirked weakly.

“So… you finally found out.”

Rajveer didn’t speak.

He walked closer.

Each step heavy.

Dangerous.

“You think you won Rajveer?” Abhishek said coldly.

“No She chose you… and look where it brought her.”

Rajveer’s fists clenched.

His voice finally came out—

low… broken… terrifying.

“You killed her she was your sister.”

Abhishek didn’t deny it.

Instead, he said—

“She chose to die the moment she betrayed us.”

Silence.

Deadly silence.

Rajveer’s eyes filled with tears—

but they didn’t fall.

“They were my family Abhishek…” Rajveer whispered.

“And you destroyed everything.”

Abhishek leaned forward slightly.

“She destroyed it herself she shouldn't not have run on the day of her marriage.”

That was it.

The last thread snapped.

Rajveer grabbed him by the collar.

Abhishek laughed faintly and said “In Mittals… honor comes before blood and Even it's your closest one .”

Rajveer’s face hardened and he said " for me…”

His voice turned cold.

“She was everything.She was my wife my children mother”

Rajveer paused and take a heavy breath.

And then—Rajveer said “I’m taking everything from you too.”

The struggle was brief.

Violent.

Raw.

Years of love… pain… betrayal…

ended in a single moment.


An hour later—

The mansion doors opened.

Rajveer entered.

His face pale eyes red he was broken.

The moment Siya and Veer saw him—

they ran.

“Papa!”

They hugged him tightly.

“Where were you?” Siya cried.

“Papa… Mom is not waking up…”

Veer held him, sobbing.

Rajveer dropped to his knees, pulling both children into his arms.

Tears finally fell from his eyes.

“I’m here…” Rajveer whispered.

“I’m here…”

He held them tighter.

As if they were the only thing left in his world.

What they didn’t notice—

What no one noticed—

Were the faint blood stains on his shirt.

Marks of the truth he would carry forever.

and Abhishek mittal last words was " It has started and it will never end you have a daughter too right her marriage won't happen"

End of Flashback


Siya sat frozen.

Her mind refused to accept what she had just heard.

Her father… had killed someone.

Her breath became uneven.

Tears welled up in her eyes—and then broke free.

“Uncle…” her voice trembled,

“how can someone be like this?”

Her tears fell faster.

“Just because of ego… and pride… he killed his own sister?”

Her voice cracked completely.

“And Papa…” she broke down, unable to continue.

Shyam lowered his eyes.

The weight of the truth hung heavy in the room.

Siya cried helplessly.

“From the beginning… the Mittals took everything from us…”

Her hands trembled.

“What was their mistake?”

“They just chose love…”

Her voice softened, filled with pain.

“Yes… Mom shouldn’t have run away like that…”

She closed her eyes, tears slipping down continuously.

“But this…?” she whispered.

“This kind of punishment?”

She looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief and hurt.

“That a brother kills his own sister…?”

Her voice faded into silence.

The room felt suffocating.

Because now—

This wasn’t just a story anymore.

It was her truth.

Her blood.

Her family.

Siya kept crying.

She couldn’t take it anymore.

Her chest felt unbearably heavy…

as if she was carrying generations of pain within her.

“First Mom…” she whispered, her voice breaking,

“whom I never truly knew…”

“And then… on my wedding day…”

her breath hitched,

“Papa… and Veer…”

She broke down again, crying harder.

Shyam watched her helplessly.


After some time.“Beta…” Shyam said softly,

“you should go home now. Aarav must have reached.”

Siya wiped her tears, but they didn’t stop.

“Why…?” she cried.

“Why, Mittals…?”

“Why did you take everything from us?”

Her voice trembled with anger and pain.

“Nothing would have happened… if things weren’t like this…”

She shook her head, unable to process it all.Her mind exhausted with pain .


Then slowly, she stood up.

“Take care, uncle,” she said weakly.

Siya paused, then added with bitterness,

“Even after taking everything destroying my whole family… Raj Mittal is still targeting the Goenkas.”

“All because of me.”

She let out a hollow laugh through her tears.

“What kind of revenge is this…?”

“Our whole family was destroyed…”

Her voice dropped to a whisper.

“I’m the only one left…”

Shyam’s eyes softened.

“Don’t worry, daughter. The Goenkas are powerful too.”

Siya paused at his words.

Power.

Was that all this had ever been about?

She looked away.

“Take care, daughter,” Shyam said gently.

“Should I drop you?”

Siya shook her head slowly.

“No, uncle…”

“I’ll go myself.”

She turned and walked out.

But for the first time in her life—

She didn’t know where she truly belonged anymore.
