He believed the false evidences imprinted by sulochana,without knowing aishu's innocence..

When aishu is explaining herself to naani to believe her words , aarush turned aishu towards him and slapped her hard...

Aarush phone rang and he took it from charging table..

"Hello.varun !! How's Tara and baby?"- aarush asked with tense face..

"Congratulations aarush.. it's baby boy!! And tara is kept under observation..her stomach is cleaned and the doctor said she has to be in ICU for the next 24 hours.. and the baby is kept incubated"- Varun said..

"We will arrive soon Varun .. take care of everything there!"- aarush said.

"God !! Naani , you people go to hospital..baby boy born and Tara still in ICU "- he said..

"Driver is waiting in parking...you go with him.. I'll follow you "- he said and nanni, ayan , sulochana , Trisha sat in car and went away..

"Aarush!! Really I don't know how it happened.. I made kheer , but I don't know --" her words got cut off when aarush choked her neck in firm grip..

"Pray to god !! To keep Tara safe .. if anything happens to my family , I'll shoot you " - he said with red anger filled eyes...

Tears rolled on her cheeks , listening to his words!! The man who gave her hope of new beginings , broke them into pieces by not trusting her..

And all the evidences were against her..

"Your family?? Not mine ? " She asked with pleading eyes , to trust her atleast..

"Yours?? If you feel us as your family , you will commit such crime to poison my sister?! What did she do to you ??"-he asked aishu..

"I don't know who mixed the poison in that kheer !! And how they kept that in your locker "- she sobbed confessing the truth...

He looked at the message , seeing 15 lakhs is debited from his account..

He left a sad chuckle overthinking about aishu..

"You are such a gold digger!! I wish I would never meet you in my life!! I wish I shouldn't trust you that easy.. and I made a grave mistake choosing you as my life partner "- he spit his venomous words which broke both aishu and aarush souls..

Tears stopped to flow from her eyes , when he said those words ..!

"You know what !! You should have asked me !! I'll give you enough money to make you happy.. just like you took 15 lakhs today ,, but you played with my sister... I'm not going to leave you , if anything happens to her "- he said and went out..

He turned to see her..

She thought , he will trust her in this .. but all her prayers gone in vain..

He came to her and slapped her hard that she fell on bed due to force..

" This is for breaking my heart "- he said and went out..

She laid in the same position crying , touching her cheeks with her palm..

She went washroom and looked at mirror.. her cheeks with red finger marks.. she's unable to digest that sulochana slapped her and aarush didn't stopped her.. and top of that aarush slapped her for the crime she didn't do!!

"When the person who gave me hope to live , get a family and who I loved the most doesn't trust me and says he will kill me , it's better I should go on my own " - she thought...

She placed her purse having black card of aarush , her mother's jewellery safely in locker ..

She took a pen to write a letter to aarush before leaving this house..

Aarush ,

I've never asked you to give me anything.

You gave me a hope to live,

You gave me a hope of family,

You gave me hope of love ,

But

The next moment you broke my heart into pieces , that I can't carry them with me anymore , which only gives me pain if I hold them..

I hope oneday you will know the truth and knew about my innocence.

But that day , i won't be with you !! Just remember me on that day , and feel guilty about what you have done..

I never tried to break your heart..

But today you broke my whole existence and I don't find any reason to stay here or live

Yours truly aishwarya ..

She left her signature on that paper ..

Kept the letter near his table..

With tears , she left the house...leaving everything she gained in these 3 months there and disappeared..

.

.

.

Aarush's mind hovered with negative thoughts when he is on the way to hospital..

He felt somewhere aishu can't do this..but evidence is showing she is the culprit..only she knows the password of the locker where poison found and she made kheer..

He's emotionally broken and he screamed out in anger , pain ...

He reached the hospital and gave his phone to Varun as phones aren't allowed in incubating area..

He went there and saw a baby boy ..

"I'm sorry bacha!! Your maamu failed to protect you..but trust me , from now onwards I won't let anything happen to you "- he said with tears..

He then saw Tara , who laid unconscious on hospital bed in ICU .

He sat beside naani and sulochana and Trisha sitting far away from them..

Ayan , doesn't know about what's happening , sat beside varun , peeping into the phone...

Varun uncle , you know naani said I can show the functions video i shoot to my baby brother..

"Can I show him now??"- Ayan asked Varun...

"No Ayan... Your brother is still so small na !! You can't meet him now "- Varun said and Ayan's face paled with sadness..

"No issues Ayan , you can show me how you videographed our home tour "- Varun said tickling Ayan..

Ayan laughed out and opened his gallery!!

Ayan sat in varuns lap and Ayan played the video...

Varun disinterested and didn't pay any heed...

Ayan giggled sometimes seeing video

Suddenly varuns eye saw video , when he saw someone in kitchen adding something to kheer bowl..

White dress , and her face is not shown properly...

"Aarush!! "Varun shouted and asked him to come ...

Ayan shivered when saw Varun shouting..

Aarush saw the video from begining not closing his eyelids..

He saw the kitchen tour of Ayan.. where Ayan unknowingly captured the culprit..

Aarush saw the same kheer bowl which sinffer dog smelled and which Tara ate..

"She's wearing white shara and see her bracelet and tattoo in her arm" -varun showed to aarush..

Suddenly aarush's gaze fell on Trisha , who's wearing the white sharara..

Naani came to know about real culprit , when she listened their words..

Aarush fumed in anger and Varun followed him to Trisha!!

He took trishas hand and saw same tattoo and bracelet on her hand..

Aarush disbelieved himself and took a step back ..

Varun slapped Trisha the next minute shouting at her..

He called police and shared the video to his mobile which is videographed by Ayan..

"How can you kill a baby who isn't even born Trisha.? Do you forget , Tara is your best friend.. how can you do this to her ?"- he shouted at her in anger and sulochana shivered what if he knows she's the main culprit..

"No!!! Aarush this isn't my plan aarush ... Please don't send me jail.. your mom asked me to do this , so that I can get you and you will get seperated from aishu"- she said in shiver..

Aarush choked sulochana with firm grip ..." Don't don't !! I'm your mother", she gasped for breaths ..

"You robbed my mom's position..you will never be my mom , i never felt the feeling of family with you .. for first time god sent me someone , who made me feel cared,blessed,loved and you made me throw her out of my life , making false evidences and allegations " - he said in guilt and tears flew...

At the next moment police came and arrested both sulochana and Trisha..

Aarush sat down on the floor , crying like a baby in varun's arms.. naani came aarush trying to console him.. but his guilt and tears are unbearable to stop

"I made a mistake Varun, i should have trust aishu.. she said , she doesn't know anything.. but I trusted those false evidences against her .. I should have heard my heart , than my brain "- he cried ..

"I've slapped her with this arms naani... How can I show my face to her.. I can't take this guilt anymore .. "- he said and Ayan came to him..

"Maamu..Pleez don't cry...if you cry I will also cry... "- Ayan said rubbing aarush's tears with his little palms..

Aarush took Ayan into deep hug , thanking him for that video , kissing all over his face..

"You know what Ayan , you proved your aishu maami is innocent and she will never harm others... You really love her a lot na !"- he asked.

"Aishu maami hain mera??"- Ayan asked with curiosity..

"Yes Ayan!! I will get your maami to the hospital.. she will play with you .."- aarush said ran to this car and Varun arranged police constables with naani,Ayan and followed aarush..

They sat in the car and aarush started driving fast , to reach home and apologize to aishu..

He parked the car in a hurry and ran into the house shouting "aishu".

Varun called " aishwarya - aishwarya " but didn't got anyresponse... They checked the kitchen , lawn , and went to aarush's room thinking she will be there!!

But when aarush opened room'sdoor with smile , the voidness welcomed him..

He missed aishu's presence.. switching on the light , he went to washroom to check her...

Varun , entered the room saying " I checked in terrace,lawn ,other rooms also..she's not there " and asked aarush , what happened !!

Aarush's eyes travelled to piece of paper on his table .

Varun and aarush started reading the letter!!.

Aarush eyes blurred due to tears.. he sniffed and wiped his tears to read the letter she left ..

He read the letter and his eyes stopped when she wrote ,

" I hope one day you will know the truth and know about my innocence.

But that day , i won't be with you !!

I never tried to break your heart..

But today you broke my whole existence and I don't find any reason to stay here or live

Yours truly aishwarya "

He sat on the floor hugging the letter ...

"Varun she will never leave me right!! " - he asked Varun..

Varun hugged him and tried to console him.. in their whole span of friendship , Varun never saw aarush in this emotionally low situation ...

" I have to find her, I won't let her go that easy... I will apologize to her , if she won't accept i will beg her until she accepts me "- he said and ran out to start car ..

Varun alerted all checkposts and busstations and railwaystations ..

All city police , in special duty to find her...

Aarush like a mad man searched whole city - whole night and went to check buses and railway station..

But he didn't found her...

Bad thoughts hovered him , and his heart is sensing something bad..

"Varun, she won't leave me na!! Before we confessed each other , I got to know she's suicidal ... She won't do any such thing right "- he asked in confusion , running his fingers in his hair in frustration...

"No-aarush , don't think in thay way.

Nothing happens like you said.. wherever aishu will be - she will be safe "- Varun said assuring him..

But little they knew is , she's a shattered soul with a true heart..coping with her past trauma...

.

.

.

Aarush beta ! It's been 5 months since she left you.. I don't have a strong will at this age , to see my grandson broken "- naani said with tears , and aarush in her lap..

"No..naani! I can't leave her... She's my half ! I will find her at any cost "- aarush said like a ziddi kid.

"I'm not asking you to leave her beta!! Go , search for her , take and come back to home with aishu... But you need to be strong !! Eat properly , aur ye cigars and alcohol Peena chod do beta"- naani said with concern..

"I'm not getting sleep without her naani !! Even my eyes aren't listening to me.. only this helps me to get sleep" - he said with tears flowing down from his eyes..

Naani left him giving a peck on his sidehead ..

Varun who sat on otherside of bed , came to him patting his cheeks ...

"Aarush !! Hosh mein aa jao... You do duty from early morning to midnight and at midnight , you've started drinking sessions without giving your body rest..
This isn't good for your health "- Varun said..

"Who cares Varun!! I just need my aishu back ! I need her by hook or crook"- he said in a sleepy , unconscious tone , dreaming something..

"Aarush !! Listen to me.. we are trying past 5 months to know where aishu went... We couldn't trace her..we don't even know whether aishu is --"varun's words got cut off , when aarush angrily glared at him..

"Every time we tried to catch her aunt , somehow she managed to escape...so this time , I gave this task to undercover cops to find her and  detention her ..they found her today "

" I took aishu's aunt  in my custody .. I'll try to get details about aishu's grandmother's village .. maybe we can find aishu there "- he said..

"Did you find that bitch ? "- aarush asked Varun..

"Yes!! I took her into my custody this evening ." - Varun said....

" Take me there Varun"- aarush asked.

"No aarush!! You aren't feeling good..let me handle this "- Varun said..

"Varun!! Last time I'm pleading with you..take me to that bitch "- aarush shouted.

.
.
.
.

They reached the underground control room and entered the dark room with dim light..
And underground cops were guarding aishu's  aunt..

Aarush forcibly entered the room , and aishu's aunt jerked from the sleep..

Aarush loaded the bullets and targeted her head!!

"I'm giving you 2 min time.. either you have to tell me aishu's grandmother village name or else I'll shoot you like a bird. "- he said.

She smirked , thinking he was not true at his words and can't shoot her..

Then aarush , pulled trigger a shot 2 bullets on the wall behind her..and one on her shoulder..

"Aaaa! No sir , don't shoot me ,I'll tell you..! It's tirumala .. pilgrim city " - she said with tense lines on her forehead and pain in her voice is evident ...

He stepped out asking cops to , sieze her and get her treatment done here only..

Varun looked him in disbelief !
" Are you in your senses aarush , you shot her really??"- Varun asked..

"I can do anything for aishu..."- he said going to parking area ...

"Where are you going now?"- Varun asked..

"Tirumala"- aarush replied..

"Aarush , in this night ?? From hyderabad to tirumala , in car.. are u insane ??"- Varun asked..

he didn't reply to varun and started car..Varun in a hurry , opened the door , and sat beside him heading towards tirumala ( hill station + lord Venkateshwara temple ).

.

                 AISHU'S POV

I took a bus to my grandmother's village and came to meet her for one last time..

And I have to offer prayings to god one last time..

I shouldn't think about him.. I know he's misled.. but he should have trust me..

But I'm concerned about Tara di and her baby's health...! Hope lord Venkateshwara will go everything good to them..

After 10 hours of long tiring journey , I reached tirumala...

As my grandfather used to work in temple , they provided us a quarters..
And when my grandfather died , my grandma refused to shift from that quarters.. she always love there in memories of my grandpa..

They're so pure emotions.. I know I'll never get them..

When I knocked the door , my grandma opened the door , with shock !

"Aishu beta!! I tried to call your many times.. but it's not reachable.. where did you go ?" - she asked with tears in her eyes..

"Let me come in grandma.. I'm feeling tired "- I said and went in..

I hugged her , to let my emotions out...

She patted my back assuring
" it's okay beta... Cry..it will make your heart lighter"- she said and I cried more ...

I drank water and sat on sofa..
Grandma asked me to come and lay my head in her lap..

I laid in her lap , explaing how my aunt , when she can't pay the debt how she sold me off to that seth..

I didn't mention the aarush name and said her " a policeofficer , helped me and he got injured while saving me..so I took care of him and now he is in good health "

"It's okay aishu beta... Stay here with me.. I don't have anyone except you. I tried to find you , but it's all gone in vain because of your  chudail aunty"- grandma said..

"No , grandma .. i resumed my college in Hyderabad... I just came here to see you .. I have to return soon "- I lied to her as I don't want to live anymore...

"Aishu , don't lie me.. I'm also educated.. semester starts in June.. still you have 2 months , stay with me .. can't you do this much for your old grandmother "- she asked in tears and I cried to see her face nodded in yes!!

The entire day , we chatted .. but deep down , I missed all of them!

"No aishu..they aren't yours.. don't deviate from your path "- I cooed myself..

.
.
.
.

Days passed ..  I tried to control my emotions , thoughts ...
Grandma and I used to go temple weekly once for darshan and I offered my prayers...

The nature in this hill station is soothing ... Greenary with light blue skies ..

To deviate myself from thoughts , I asked my grandma , whether we could go to the park nearby ..

There I saw someone painting the portraits..

Oldaged man , in his  60's came to us with smile ..

I came to know , my grandma and that oldaged painter are friends...

We all sat on bench .

"Can I paint something "- I asked and took a brush from him and started painting evening sunset!!

After a good 1 hour , he saw my painting and appreciated me and asked me to join him in evening in park ...

"No, uncle!! I just came here to stay for 2 months..I have to go back".. I said

"Okay... Join me in painting for these 2 months only  .. you have a really good talent beta.. you'll shine in this field "- he said and I just nodded my head..

In return to home , I thought , it will better if I deviate my mind from his thoughts ...

May be painting will help me ..! As I used to paint a lot in school and my dad encouraged me by joining me in classes..

.
.
.

My daily routine - wakeup - gardening - chit chat with grandma - and in evening painting in park..

Some pilgrims and people who came to the park , bought my paintings as they liked it very much..and I got a good amount of money in the last 2 months. and gave them for grandma's expenses as I don't need money anyway!

.
.

I tightly hugged my grandma one last time , kissing her cheek.. As I lied to her that Im returning to Hyderabad for my college .

Tears refused to stop and grandma asked me to stay with her..

I refused her and took my bag  and stepped out..

All of sudden , I felt something is wrong in my eyes!! The surroundings near me blacked out , though I managed to walk..

When I walked down on street , i felt very weak and everything around me got blurred and blacked out..
"Aishuu"! The last thing I heard is my grandma screaming my name..

.
.
.

I woke up in hospital bed ..

Grandma sitting beside me..
I opened my eyes and saw grandma's eyes pooled up with tears ..

"Granny!! I'm fine .. it's just that I didn't eat in the afternoon.. so I fell "- i said..

"Aishu!! Promise on me!! Don't lie to me!! Tell what happened after your chudail aunty sold you to seth"- granny asked..

"Why are you asking all of sudden granny "- i asked in confusion..

"I said na !! I'm safe and a policeofficer saved me... He got bullets and injured because of me..so I took care of him for 3 months "- I said..

"You - you are preg pregnant "- grandma stammered .

I shivered Listening to those words , and it would be better , if earth would swallow me..tears refused to come out from my eyes and I'm still shock and disbelief ..

I placed my palm on my stomach , thinking there's a small creature inside me ..

"Tell me the truth aishu... How does it happened? Don't fear anyone.. I'll go and talk to them ... I need my granddaughter to be happy in her life..I know you have gone through a lot after your parents death... It's my responsibility now , to make your life right...!" - grand ma compelled me to say his name...

I hugged her tightly and shook my head in No..

"He doesn't love me anymore grandma... He doesn't need me anymore in his life"- I cried hugging her.

I explained to her what happened after  i  sent to aarush's home , how him and his family made me feel special as their family , and how he broke my heart...

Grandma and i cried for sometime thinking about my fate and future...

"Don't worry aishu... Your grandma is still alive.. she will take care of you.. you just have to cry on that day , when your grandma is dead "- she said and I shook my head in No , crying more..

Doctor gave me prescription to follow , and asked me to go to big hospital for scanning...

Grand ma and i returned to our home and i went to my room closing the doors..

I let our my tears flow free , touching my belly...

"When I thought about dying that day ,  your father stopped me giving me new hopes.. And today , when I thought to die , you stopped me "- i sobbed , pressing my face into pillow..

I caressed my belly , and felt emotional that the baby is my new hope and I have to live for this.. I have to do it anyway...

Due to exhaustion, I drifted in sleep ..

.
.

Days passed and I used my hobby painting in park as my career to earn some money for my delivery and hospital charges...

I can't become burden to my grandma..

I thought to provide my baby , better and i saved more for our future... I also joined distance education programme for graduation...

.
.

I used to wear loose kurtas to cover my baby bump visibility, as I don't want anyone to bad mouth me or my grandma..

Grandma asked me ,  we will visit the hospital for scanning tomorrow as it's the 5th month...

.
.

In the  evening , I sat on bench , painting the cute little girl and her mother who posed to get their potrait..

After a good 15 min , I drew a pencil sketch with my signature at the corner and gave them...

They gave me 500/- and appreciated my work...

I felt nausea and sat on a bench , drinking water .

"Don't trouble me baby... "- I caressed my belly with my palm , feeling the pain in my legs as they're swollen .

All of sudden , I heard a voice calling "aishu" - a familiar voice , i can never forgot in my lifetime..

I never in this lifetime want to see his face ... I saw him approaching me, running towards me ..

I hurriedly took my bag , covering my head with my duppata and started walking fast ...

I somehow hide beside the wall from his sight..

I huffed and satdown there , feeling anxious and my trauma hit me back , when he slapped me , just like how my aunt used to abuse me..

"You are strong aishu... Strong enough to face anything in your life "- I motivated myself and peeped out of the wall...

"He's gone... It's okay ..  it's okay " - i said to myself ..

Covering my face , I slowly walked out of park towards grandma's house.. feeling relief.!
