This is such a piece of information for Jagdish, which he was not aware of at all. He is shocked.

"She was pregnant.... That's why my father did this."

Mayil immediately sits in front of her father and starts telling him.

"Dad, please calm down; she suffered badly because of that accident and had a miscarriage."

"Damn..."

Jagdish holds his head because he realizes that he has made a bigger mistake by not listening to Sunaina completely during their last phone conversation. That's why he starts telling the whole story of his side now.

"I and Shweta have been told since childhood that we were made for each other, but we were very good friends... That's it… Apart from this, she did not think anything about me, nor did I think of her.... We are very happy to be friends with each other.... Our parents loved us very much. So we were sure that they would understand our feelings very easily and agree to marry us with our desired spouse.... My father loved Sweta more like his daughter, and Mohan's uncle considered me his son, so he almost stopped considering Sweta as his daughter and loved me as a son. Maybe he wanted a son that he used to see in me. Sunaina came into my life, and I was very happy with her.... One day, Shweta said that she liked my friend Shivam very much. I told Shivam all her feelings, but Shivam was very nervous. because she was the daughter of a rich father and his father was a small clerk, so I helped these two to come very close to each other. Shivam is more intelligent than any level. So by getting my dad sponsored, I took him with me for an MBA and also gave him a job in our company so that somehow he could come to a good position and talk to Mohan uncle for Shweta, and everything was fine. I was very happy with Sunaina. I loved her so much and wanted to marry her only... Shweta was also very clear that she would soon tell her father that she wanted to marry Shivam and not me."

Sunaina has regained consciousness; all eyes are turned on her, but she is looking at the sky outside the window while listening to Jagdish's words; she is not saying anything. That's why Jagdish continued his words.

"Shivam told me that he wants to go to his house as soon as possible because he has to bring his parents here to talk about marriage with Shweta. I was overjoyed, so I immediately gave him off, but he never came back. Meanwhile, Shweta told me that she was pregnant, and Shivam knew this.... I looked for Shivam everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found. I couldn't understand why he did this; he couldn't do it. But the truth was in front of me: he suddenly disappeared. Maybe he didn't want to bear the responsibility of the baby. And then I came to know that Shivam had embezzled a huge amount from the office. And I was not able to tell Sweta that Shivam had left her and ran away. Shweta was madly in love with Shivam. She was unable to bear everything, and her health was deteriorating regularly, due to which Mohan Uncle also came to know that she was pregnant."

Jagdish starts taking deep breaths, and Mayil gives him water. Mrityunjay is sitting beside his mother, holding her hand.

"I explained a lot to Sweta that she would not be able to take care of the child like this because I was looking for Shivam, but he had probably gone so far with the money that it was difficult to find him, so I was left with nothing but convincing Shweta, so I forced her to abort this child. But in any case, she was not ready to abort her child, and her condition is very bad because of Shivam. I was getting angry with myself. Why did I introduce her to Shivam? We had been looking for Shivam everywhere, just for her sake. But I know he has never come back. and he was nowhere to be found. But Sweta did not want to understand because she had full faith in his love. She was looking for him everywhere, like crazy. In such a situation, Mohan uncle forcibly took Shweta for an abortion. I was left with no option because if the child was forcibly aborted against Shweta's will, I knew very well that she would kill herself too; she already faced a big betrayal. At that time, to save a little life with Shweta, I onlysaw the way to marry her because, in such a situation, I could save both of them, and I did not want Sunaina to face any more problems because of me in the future. Wait for me, so I told her that I didn't want to marry her. I talked to her very badly so that she would never miss me in life, forget me, and marry some good person. My brain had completely stopped working, and if I had spoken to Sunaina even once, I might have lost everything on her only because I love her so much and might have been shaken by my decision again. That's why I stopped picking up her phone too.

Tears flow from Sunaina's eyes. She sees Jagdish right in front of her for the first time. Jagdish is looking toward her. He tells her with remorse in his eyes.

"I've only made mistakes... If I had talked to you, maybe I would have known that you are also pregnant. I would have come up with some solutions in such a situation, but nothing will happen to you and our baby. I am sorry; everything was ruined because of me."

Mayil forces her father to drink water, and Jagdish becomes completely silent. Mrityunjay, who was listening to everything silently, asks him.

"When you came to know about everything..."

"I came to know through the newspaper that the entire family of Mahendra Sisodia was burned to death... I knew Sunaina's brother; I couldn't believe everything was over, so I went to her house. I didn't know what to do or what not to do; I only knew that these people were cremated and didn't even get a chance, and they all ended up burning in this house. There I could see only Sunaina in the ashes, so I collected those ashes, brought them to the house in a small pot clinging to my chest, and keptthem till today. Just consider them my love. I married Sweta because everything in my life was over. Only Sweta was left, whom I had to save by all means. For a long time after the birth of Mahi, I used to feel that she was only Shivam's betrayal, but gradually this child became my life, and I started loving her very much. But when my father had a serious heart attack, he was counting the last moments of his life. Then he told me that he killed Sunaina and her entire family. It was very difficult for me to think that the father whom I loved so much had committed such a heinous crime. That's why I never immersed my father's ashes because he has absolutely no right to attain salvation when he can commit such a big sin."

There is a big silence there. Mrityunjay and Mayil start seeing each other, but they never get to know that Shivam has embezzled a huge amount from the office. so he really runs away with the money.

CHAPTER 95

Mayil sits, holding her head. She feels dizzy because of everything; everything is too much for her. Sunaina immediately grabs her hand and pulls her into her warm embrace. Mrityunjay stands behind her and starts pressing and massaging her head lightly. Jagdish is very happy to see both of them, but he does not want Mayil's health to deteriorate in the slightest, so he tells her.

"Mahi, I think you need a rest."

But the whole thing has bothered Mayil a lot, so she only needs to know the truth.

"No, I don't want anything other than the truth... You say that my father embezzled your company, and after that, he fledthis country forever. The biggest issue is that if the man had fled from here, the ground or the sky would have sucked him up, and Mom was not prepared to accept this. Somewhere, his whereabouts must be known, but no one has been able to find him.... He is nowhere... How can a man disappear like this?"

"Mahi, but I am not telling you any lies. We had all the documents for whatever embezzlement he committed. I showed all that to Sweta too. But Sweta's health deteriorated so much that I destroyed all those things at the same moment when she started to trouble herself with everything because I did not want Shivam's name to ever come again in her life. After all, that girl was completely mad for Shivam's love. I destroyed everything related to Shivam just because Sweta used to get very upset whenever she remembered Shivam, and I just can't tell you how difficult it was to handle her. That girl had truly loved that man, and that man only cheated on her."

Mayil is listening to his words very carefully, and after listening to his words, she suddenly does not know what happens to her; she only looks at Jagdish without blinking her eyes. She immediately comes and sits near his feet and tells him.

"Your wife was in love with someone else and may have been loving him all the time. I don't understand why you don't have any hesitation in saying that your wife used to love someone else; you helped her a lot to reach her lover; you even tried to find that man everywhere. even threatened his parents too much; I am not able to understand anything. Papa, is there such a thing that you are hiding from me? Was the relationship between both of you like another husband and wife? Because how can a husband tell the story of his wife's relationship with another boy so easily?

Sunaina and Mrityunjay also start looking at Jagdish, who is only looking at Mayil. She again insisted.

"Papa, I am asking you something... If you hide anything today, I will go away from you forever and will never come back. I don't know why I am suspecting that of both of you."

"We are never in a relationship like a husband and a wife... We are friends for life... We are just name-asked husband and wife in front of society...."

There is instant silence. Sunaina is only looking at Jagdish, and Mrityunjay is very surprised to hear this. Mayil, who was sitting exactly opposite Jagdish, Leaving his hand, she sits firmly on the ground and holds her head. Jagdish knows very well what he is saying, so he looks at Sunaina and tells her.

"Sweta could not give Shivam's place to anyone in her life, and I always felt responsible for Sunaina's death. That is why there has never been any such relationship between us that we can ever call ourselves husband and wife in the true sense... I say this even today and will always do... Shweta was a very good friend of mine and always will be. And until her last day, she was my good friend. We needed to go to a room in front of the helpers, but I used to sleep in my study room, where my bed was already set, and Shweta used to use the bedroom. After Mahi was kidnapped, she always used Mahi's room."
