But Sweta didn't hug her or even touch her. Soon, Mayil realized this. She looked at her mother before she could say anything, and Sweta slapped her so hard that she fell straight to the floor.

"Mumma… "

"For 3 years, I was crying... My daughter is missing... Someone may have kidnapped her. Maybe something bad happened to her.

Mayil does not understand at all why her mother slapped her. She immediately gets up from the ground, comes to her mother, and tells her.

"Mumma … Why are you angry?"

"With whom were you for 3 years? ..."

"Mumma, I was kidnapped, but now..."

Mayil cannot even complete her point. Even before this, Shweta starts clapping and looking at Mayil from head to toe. She is looking much healthier than before, and her clothes are also heavily branded. Looking at everything about her, it seems that she was living a very luxurious life. With diamond studs in her ears and a very expensive solitaire pendant on her neck, she leaves them for this luxury—the only thing revolving around her mind.

"Kidnapped….. I want to meet that kidnapper who provides so much luxury to his kidnapped prey. You are lying... Just lying.... What were we missing? .... What was missing in our love? .... If you loved someone, then you would have told us; if we refused, then I would have understood the matter. I do not understand what I should tell you and what not to tell you. But the truth is that, seeing your face, I hate you today. You broke me from the inside….You were my pride, but today you have proved that you are just a stigma."

" Mumma… I am not lying to you. I am telling you absolutely the truth... I was kidnapped, and after that, something happened: I fell in love with the one who kidnapped me. If you listen to me once, then you know."

" Love….. You guys don't even know the meaning of love. You have treachery and dishonesty in your blood. Today, I am ashamed of myself for having decided to give birth to you after fighting with the whole world. Whereas Jagdish told me that I should kill you in my venter because you should not prove to be a stigma for me, and you have proved the same... You are a big blot to me. You are just like your father... He cheated on me, and you are the same. You betrayed the man who loved you more than his children. He never expected another child. He raisedyou with love, and you cheated on that man's love. Jagdish loves you so much, even knowing that you are not his child."

Shweta has absolutely no idea that Mayil is just silently listening to her words and is not giving any kind of reaction. Sweta cries, holds her head, and falls to the floor.

"I loved that man... I loved him dearly... I never once thought before handing myself over to him. Love is like this: we trust our partner.... But the day Shivam came to know that I was going to be the mother of his child, he disappeared as if he did not know that there was ever anything between us. The dirty blood of the same person is bleeding in you, so how can you not be dishonest? He betrayed my love, and you betrayed my and Jagdish's love, and you are coming here and telling us a lie that you were kidnapped... Shame on you.... Why don't you kill yourself before showing your ugly face again to me?"

Right now, there are only two broken women there, and no one is there except both of them. There is no sound of any kind, and no one is there to console them. Both are fighting with themselves.

CHAPTER 74

It is very big news for Mayil that she is not Jagdish's daughter but someone called Shivam's daughter.... Who is this Shivam? ... She is an illegitimate baby. Which she didn't even know about. Her mother has been hiding a big truth for so many years. It seems to her that maybe there is no life left in her anymore. But while managing herself, she just wants to confirm that what her mother was told here is true. Mayil is somehow certain of what she has heard. She is absolutely wrong, and all she wants to hearis that Jagdish is her father, and whatever her mother is saying, she just said it in anger.

"You want to say I am... I am... not... Jagdish… Kaushik's daughter… He is…. My papa, all are wrong... You are angry... But don't say this...."

Her voice is so soft that even if someone is standing near her, that person cannot hear her. It looks like she's talking to herself.

Shweta is very angry. The only thing that bothers her again and again is that Mayil has betrayed her, just like Shivam. Shivam, whom she loved so much that even today she remembers him every day. Even today, she cannot believe that Shivam betrayed her and left her, while Shivam never came back nor tried to know about his daughter.

While she has loved Mayil so much since she was born, she never thought that she would betray her in any way. Shivam had betrayed her, but she could never forget Shivam's love. She used to love Mayil very much, considering her to be Shivam's last sign, but this deception of hers has broken her to the core. All hidden wounds turn fresh because of her sudden arrival and her betrayal. She is in pain; she is in such pain at the moment that she cannot see anyone else's pain.

How could she lie to her eyes while she herself saw how she was hugging the man? She can feel the love between them very clearly from the way she was kissing him; therefore, she remains here, deceiving her into believing she was abducted. She still remembers the CCTV footage where she was going very comfortably with the man. She is now fully convinced that Mayil is just making up stories here and nothing else.

She doesn't feel bad for herself at all but feels bad for Jagdish, who loves Mayil with all his heart. For the last 3 years, he left no stone unturned to find Mayil, and here this girl was living her life very comfortably. She comes fast to slap her but stops herself hard, turns her palm into a tight ball, and says.

"Shivam told me that he would talk to my father and his family members about our marriage. So he is going to his house, but... but he never came back. I knew he had cheated on me. Still, I searched for him everywhere. I went to every possible place where he was likely to be. I was screaming like crazy. Please don't leave me. I love you. Come back... just to find him and tell him that I love him so much, but he is gone... Not once did he think of me; not once did he think of you. It was just Jagdish, who didn't care about anybody, who gave you his name. He hid every truth from the whole world—that I was pregnant before marriage when you were born premature. He stood there everywhere to save you and me from humiliation. And you took the wrong advantage of that man's love; you should even give your life for that man, and you have cheated him. You should be ashamed; I am ashamed... You can be my daughter, but you proved that you are the daughter of the same cheater."

All her words are falling like burning lava into Mayil's ears. She is unable to say anything. Nor is she able to express her sorrow by shedding tears from her eyes. She is just listening to her, which is piercing her heart a million times. Sweta tightly clutches her hair and says it suddenly.

"Now you go back to the same man and don't show me your face again. Your face, the face with which I once lived my entire life, begins to disgust me, whereas I adore my Shivam every time I see you. I used to remember him. Now I will hate him as much as I hate you. Get lost from here... I had never hated him,even after his great deception. But today, because of you, all my love has turned into hatred. I only hate both of you, father and daughter. Now I join my hands and say that there is no need to even come in front of my Jagdish.... Don't ever come in front of him. If you consider me your mother, or if you, an adeceitful girl like you, have loved me as her mother even for a moment, then you swear on me never to come in front of my Jagdish. Let my friend understand that you have been kidnapped. Let him be in this deception, because this illusion is better than this deception. You are dead for me. You have betrayed my friend's love. I used to think all the time about how I would repay his favor, and you have ruined everything. I don't want to see your face. You are dead for me. I do not have a daughter; I am childless.... Go away……"

Shweta is so broken that she has no idea what she is saying or what she is not. All she knows is that, like Shivam, her daughter has also betrayed her, and she is unable to bear the deception. She turns around and goes to her room, where she first picks up her sleeping pills. She puts three to four sleeping pills in her hand and immediately gulps them with the help of water.

Mayil is broken. broken to the cores like everything shattered in a second, her legs turn and leave without thinking about it for a second. She walks out of the back door silently; she doesn't know where to go, and she doesn't want to know anything. She feels as if her life has suddenly changed; the man she's loved for the rest of her life is not her father. Today, her mother hates her. What is left in her life? She hates her life; she hates herself.

Today the weather is very bad, and light rain has started. The weather also wants to give her company while she is crying, but she is not crying at all. It seems that instead of her, the sky is crying loudly today. She just keeps going quietly. Immediately, aman comes running after her, who is especially guarding her for her safety.

As Mayil comes out of the house, he thinks that she may have come to find Mrityunjay. That's why he smiles and waves his hand to show his presence here. But as she did not see that man, he ran after her in panic and told her.

"Ma'am, what are you doing outside at this hour?" The weather is good for staying out."
