"I guess you know it. And for your information, I was not the one who did it."

Aliya had her eyes wide opened in astonishment. She was not able to decipher a simple statement. On one side the son says that his father was responsible for everything he suffered and on the other side the father claims that his son is wrong? This family was really one of the weird ones. She was in an utter state of confusion.

"But Rishi said that.....

As Aliya was about to argue Praveen said which made her silent for several seconds

"Because he doesn't knows the truth. He saw the surface but doesn't know what is buried deep inside." he sighed

"I may believe you. Because I know you in person. You are a genuine being. The day Rishi said me everything I had many doubts. I was like how a man like you can do such a ruthless thing? But if it is true, then why don't you say it to him?" Aliya raised her voice as she asked the question

Praveen turned around and sighed.

"It is not that straight and simple. Have you disclosed all your evil secrets? No. You too know he is not a child who is easy to convince. Think of it."

When he referred to Aliya's past, she could not help herself to frown.

"Hmmm.... That's right uncle. But...

"Your choice. If you want to believe me or not."

Aliya still had many questions. She wanted to know every detail.

"Who was it?"

"I can't tell you. But everything is fine for now."

"But why can't you say it to me? I mean... I won't believe you then. How can you expect me to believe if you aren't disclosing everything? How can you expect Rishi to be in good terms with you? When you yourself...

"Enough."

Praveen turned and looked straight at her. Aliya didn't dare to speak anymore. She only looked at the side in disgust.

"See I know you have many thoughts running in your mind. But I can say these things only to the one who is capable enough to be my son's bride. I know you, you are a good person, but, vengeful. I still remember your anger and hatred that you had in your eyes that day. Do you remember your words?"

Aliya was transferred to that day where she had Rishi's dad in front him, threatening her to drop the idea to expose his son. Who could have imagined that such an ordinary girl can think of this devious plan?

--------------

"I. WIll. Return. I WON'T SPARE HIM. You are mightiest of all uncle. I can't put myself and my family at stake just for your bastard son. But I will come soon. With all my might to scrape your son from earth. Because as you say, 'as you sow, so shall you reap.' "

--------------

Remembering her own words she had said, she turned away avoiding his eye contact. She closed her eyes and lowered her head

She turned back and looked at Praveen with glistening eyes

"Sometimes I think, what if history repeats itself? What if he cheats again? But again my soul says not to think about what will happen in future, just live the moment. Strange. When it is about career or other major decisions, we think of it's outcome in future. But when we are in love, we just want to live in present, stop the time and be with our love for ages. We don't think about anything else when we are smitten by someone."

"That is what happened in your case. Aliya you too know, out of desperation, people sometimes take wrong decisions. I suggest you to give each other time. Understand each other. Know if you both complement each other well or not. Till that time I will convince Radhika. I don't want those typical fights of daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. Moreover, you have still that tag of gold digger which isn't forgotten by many. Your decision made in haste will only confirm that it was true. Let everything return to normal condition. Do you understand?"

Praveen immediately understood the whole situation. He has also undergone this age and is a well-experienced man to have faith on. Aliya smiled at him while wiping her moist eyes. Praveen came forward and hugged her

"Before becoming my daughter-in-law, you are my daughter. And don't you worry. I won't let Rishi disappoint you this time. Just one request. Never misunderstand my actions dear. I do it out of love for my son."

Aliya closed her eyes and took a few seconds to respond. She knew how was Rishi's dad. She had only heard Rishi's side and made a negative impression about his parents. She should have listened to both sides. As she was not clear about the incidents happened in Rishi's past, she decided not to make any judgements about anyone. She resolved to concentrate on her relationship with Rishi for now.

Hey giys, I know I didn't update the novel for almost 2 weeks

but now I am back with Aliya and Rishi.

Hope you all still support me!

The offers are not available for now. But it will be back soon

And one humble request to all my readers

I know my novel is not one of the best ones on Webnovel. But I am trying to make it better and better everyday. I have even changed the title and cover again to make relevant to the story. I am feeling discouraged now. Discouragement not only comes from negative feedback but also from no feedback. I have not got sufficient reviews even though readers are plenty in numbers. I urge you all to comment and review my novel. Then only I will understand what I am good at and what is going wrong with the novel. I will make sure that I rectify my mistakes and satisfy your expectations.

Love,

Anjali
