Devadriptya couldn't bear this insult and blame anymore. He had enough of her nonsense. Without wasting a second, he marched towards Tanishtha and grabbed her arm tightly in his tight grip.

"Come with me" He said glaring at her and started to drag her with him but she jerked off his hand.

"Aj jo kuch bhi hoga sabke samne hoga, Dev! bandh kamre ke andar nehi" (Today everything will happen in front of everyone not behind the closed doors)

Her red painful eyes met with his angry glaring ones.

"You didn't want to show your would-be wife in front of the world because YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH HER ALL THIS TIME" She yelled at last grabbing Varshini's arm.

"If you don't shut your mouth right now, you won't even know what I will do with you" He warned in his cold tone.

"How many people will you stop, Dev?" She asked mockingly.

"Each and everyone!" He declared.

Their eyes didn't waver from each other. All the members of the family were too shocked to even say something after whatever happened.

Niraj and Ragini were trying to calm their son's broken heart who got the biggest betrayal of his life from his brother and his love. Chetan and Kaveri were continuously shouting near Baldev for breaking their daughter's heart and playing with her life like this. Baldev didn't know whom to support or whom to trust because both of them were his son. He was sitting on his wheelchair silently while Gauri was telling her husband, their son couldn't do something like this. The oldest person in the family, Jaya Sekhawat was quiet till now.

Varshini's eyes were full of tears. Already many things happened in her life in the past few hours and now this false blames and accusations. How would she ever be able to recover, she didn't know. She understood that unintentionally she was tied in a big problem and the people were accusing them mistakenly.

She gulped down her saliva nervously as her eyes went towards the person who saved her last piece of dignity today and now was blamed continuously for a sin they never committed. She couldn't watch this. She had to intervene before they could accuse them more. She had to reveal everything in front of everyone before it became too late. Her heart was beating so fast as she gathered courage to talk and proceeded forward.

Without a second thought, she went near Tanishtha who was continuously shouting and sobbing holding Dev's arm.

"P_Please, believe me whatever you're thinking about us that's totally wrong. I_If he wasn't there, I wouldn't be able to stand here in front of you all. He saved me_"

Varshini was cut off in the middle by her and became shocked when the lady accused her.

"And that's why you agreed to sleep with this man, right?"

Devadriptya marched towards her and raised his hand to slap her but stopped just a few inches away from her cheek. His eyes were blood shed red with which he was boring holes in her body.

"Why did you stop?" Tanishtha didn't back away and remained challenging him with her eyes.

"Sach sunne ki himmat nehi hai?" (Can't bear the truth)

"What proof do you have that I was sleeping with her?" He fixed his death glare on her as she chuckled.

"Proof? Saying so, she took some steps forward and then taking the remote played the video where some news were flashing.

Devadriptya and Varshini glanced at the big screen on the wall being clueless. They wanted to see the proof which everyone had seen already.

"Mr. Devadriptya Sekhawat, the next CEO and the King in line, the most successful Heir of the Sekhawats was caught with a girl in an intimate position in his farm house. What was he doing with an unknown girl on the day of his marriage? The pictures are the proof of how their relationship is so intimate. With our source, we got to know the girl isn't from his family. Then who is this girl? Is Devadriptya Sekhawat having an affair with her or she is just one of his one night stands? You will get to know everything from our channel and sources"

The news was showing and with it some pictures were flashing where Varshini was hugging Devadriptya at a roadside area in the dark and he wasn't wearing his shirt or the wedding kurta which he was wearing while coming here. In another picture, she was in his bed at his farm house and he was hugging her tightly to his chest. His palm was in her back. She was tightly clutching his half buttoned kurta and her clothes were also in a messed up condition. Their eyes were closed and she was looking a mess.

Varshini widened her eyes as she became numb in her place. Her voice stuck in her throat as she stood there like a statue.

Tanishtha closed her eyes tightly and switched it off throwing the remote away. Her heart was bleeding as she felt like killing herself before watching all these. Still controlling herself she turned towards Devadriptya and Varshini.

"Now will you say it was fake or morphed?"

Varshini couldn't believe what she saw just right now. How did they get all these? Yes, they weren't morphed but the way they were portrayed were all lies. She glanced at the man beside her who was now silent but she couldn't let this happen. She couldn't let the man take all the blame silently when he was the only one to save her today from losing her dignity.

Gathering all her courage and controlling herself from breaking down in front of everyone she walked closer to Tanishtha with slow steps.

"T_The pictures were true b_but the way they were shown weren't true. I_I was coming here when some men k_kidnapped me. T_They took me to a place a_and and_" Her voice broke as those flashes were coming in front of her eyes.

Tears started rolling down from her eyes as she fisted her palms tightly.

"_they misbehaved with me. H_He saved me"

"Wow! Nice story!" Tanishtha clapped her hands and then continued.

"We all knew, you guys were going to make some stories after this but we have more proof than you both ever thought" A painful and sarcastic chuckle left her lips looking at the man with whom she was going to get married today.

She thought, she was watching the worst dream and the next morning, everything would be correct. Her Dev would be hers but she didn't get any response from him. Devadriptya's silence was killing her as she wiped her tears harshly.

"Allen, Ram and Manisha" Tanishtha called the names as one by one came before her and stood in a line.

Varshini looked at those people shockingly.

"Now tell everyone the truth again"

"I was coming to the venue with Sir when he asked me to turn the car and take him to a place. I tried to stop him as today was his marriage but he didn't even listen to me for once. I took him there and saw ma'am was standing. He got down from the car and hugged ma'am. Then he asked me to take them to his farm house. He was there with ma'am for almost two hours. I couldn't see inside as the door was locked. Then he asked me to bring them here" Ram stopped saying all of these like a robot while his head was lowered.

After that Allen came forward lowering his head.

"Sir asked me to bring spare clothes for him and ma'am in his farm house to change the previous ones" He said his side of the story and stepped backward.

"When I went there sir was with ma'am and their door was locked. Then Sir asked me to change ma'am and get her ready with the new pair of clothes. I changed her clothes and got her ready" Saying so, Manisha stepped back and stood there lowering her head.

Then Tanishtha glanced at Devadriptya tearfully whom she loved once with her all heart and how he betrayed her. He made her life a living hell. She didn't know if she ever would be able to come out of this trauma.

Varshini fell numb hearing them. Her limbs stopped working. They all betrayed them and accused them of doing a sin which they never did. The tears which were already flowing now became uncontrollable.

Devadriptya didn't even lift his vision. His raging eyes were fixed at the same place. He didn't even utter a single word from then.

Aryamaan who was still now silent slowly walked towards Varshini and stood in front of her making her look up at him.
