Sanjh was still crying. Holding her to his chest, Dhairya was crying too. Abhimanyu's mind was completely messed up. His son was turning him into the villain because of this stranger girl. To his son, he was his superhero—turned straight into a villain.
He forced himself to control his anger and looked at Sanjh, whose face he couldn't see because she was holding Dhairya to her chest, sobbing uncontrollably. Abhimanyu said in a terrifying voice, "Let my son go."
Sanjh's whole body started to tremble at Abhimanyu's terrifying voice. She looked up, her face full of fear. Dhairya said through tears, "Villain Daddy, Dhairya won't come to you. He'll go to his mom now. You're bad."
You made Mommy cry, you hurt Mommy. That's why Mommy is down there, isn't she? I won't stay with you. I'm going to go with my Mommy. Come on, Mommy, Dahiya will come with you. We're going to go very far away from here."
Hearing Dhairya's words, Abhimanyu's eyes turned red with anger. Dhairya was his only reason to live, and his son was saying he wanted to leave him. And for this stranger girl, too.
Abhimanyu angrily pulled Dhairya away from Sanj and shouted, "Shut up, absolutely shut up. I'm calm because of your crying, but that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. I'm your dad, not some villain, and as for this girl, she's none of our business, nobody. Your mom is right here."
Saying this, Abhimanyu reached into his pants pocket, pulled out his wallet, and showed the picture of Kashish inside. Seeing Kashish's picture, Dhaireya cried, "You know, this is Meli Mama; she's gone to the lap, hasn't she?"
God gave me this mother, so now I'm going to keep her with me. You can't take her away from me. Villain daddy, you absolutely can't, or I'll run away from you, way, way away."
Hearing himself called "villain daddy" was driving Abhimanyu crazy. But he couldn't get angry with his little two-year-old Dhairya either. He looked at Dhairya and said lovingly, "Dhairya, sweetie, try to understand. This isn't your mama, ask her."
Saying this, Abhimanyu glared angrily at Saanjh. Her whole body was trembling. She couldn't get a word out. Her breathing had quickened from the panic. Seeing Saanjh's condition, Dhairya started to cry.
He said, crying, "Daddy, let me go, let me go. I want to go to Mom. Mom is in pain. If I hug her, her pain will go away. Let me go, Daddy, please let me go."
His shouting had no effect on Abhimanyu. Calming himself down, Abhimanyu said, "She is not your mother. Why won't you listen?"
Dhairya burst into tears when he heard Abhimanyu. In a trembling voice, Saanjh said, "That's me." As she said this, she slowly stood up. Her entire body was shaking. She was wearing only a black shirt, which clearly showed off her long, fair legs.
But seeing her legs made no difference to Abhimanyu's face. He didn't even glance at her face, nor at her feet. For him, no other girl in the world existed except for the one he was so drawn to.
No matter how beautiful she was. He had never even looked at her, because in his heart and his mind, there was only his Kashish. The one he loved more than his own life.
Abhimanyu said angrily, "Whoever you are, yesterday you saved my son's life and I saved yours. Now you can get out of here."
Hearing Abhimanyu, Saanjh said through her tears, "But how can I?"
Sanjh didn't know what to say next. Abhimanyu looked at her angrily and said, "Just like people do, here's the door. Get out."
As he said this, Abhimanyu held Dhairya tightly in his arms. Dhairya squirmed in his lap and said, "No, my mama isn't going anywhere, not anywhere. I won't let her go. Let me go, Daddy, let me go. She's my mama. She'll stay right here with me. I won't let her go anywhere on her own."
Abhimanyu was unmoved by Dhairya's crying. He said angrily, "She is not your mom, and I'm going to make you understand that right now."
Saying this, Abhimanyu stormed off in a rage. Meanwhile, Sangeh was crying as she watched him leave. She couldn't believe that a person could be so heartless. She was only wearing a shirt at that moment, and Abhimanyu was telling her to go out in it.
Tears were streaming down her face. She looked at Abhimanyu and said in a pained voice, "Why are you hurting me so much? What will you gain by causing me this kind of pain?"
Sanjh knelt down and burst into tears. Tears streamed continuously from her eyes. She still couldn't understand what was happening in her life. First, her uncle and aunt had sold her to an old Thakur, and now this man, who had saved her, had come into her life.
But he wasn't missing a single chance to humiliate her. Her life had been turned upside down for no fault of her own. Sanjh couldn't figure out what to do or what not to do at that moment. She wanted to die, but perhaps death wasn't in the cards for her.
That's why she had survived. Sanj always thought that no matter how much pain there was in life, we have no right to end the life that God has given us.
So no matter how difficult the situation got, she would always smile and move forward. But now, how could she smile and move forward? Crying, she curled up right there and lay down.
Just then, she heard the angry voices of two female servants. "Sir told you to get out. Get out of here as soon as you can."
Hearing them, Sanj looked at them with tear-filled eyes and, folding her hands, said, "How can we just leave like this? Look at us, what will everyone think?"
Hearing Sanj's words, one of the female servants stared at her intently. She was from the village. The next moment, she shouted, "This is that girl, isn't it? The one who ran away from her wedding to a Thakur."
As soon as Sanj heard this, her whole body began to tremble. She couldn't get a word out. Her panic was only making her condition worse. Seeing her so flustered, the female servant grew even bolder.
Just then, the girl standing beside her said, "Hey, this can't be her. She didn't wear clothes like this, and look at her, showing off her legs. It must be someone else who wants to seduce our master."
The first female servant's eyes narrowed upon hearing about the second one. Sanjh, however, breathed a sigh of relief. She never wanted to return to that hell again. She would rather take her own life than become a man's concubine. She was not a kept woman who would please three different men.
She told herself, "No matter what, Sanjh, you will not become anyone's display piece."
Sanjh told herself as she spoke. The female servant then walked out of there. She quickly went outside and dialed a number. After two or three rings, someone on the other end picked up and said, "Hello."
The woman said, "Thakur Sahib, the girl who ran away from the mandap is at the Chhote Sahib's haveli right now."
After saying that, she quickly hung up the call and snuck back inside. Meanwhile, Abhimanyu was sitting with Dhairya in a room. Dhairya had broken down in tears, making a scene throughout the entire house.
She was crying herself sick. She couldn't even make a sound anymore. Abhimanyu said, coaxing her lovingly, "Dhairya, baby, how many times have I told you she's not your mother?"
Abhimanyu had barely said that when he heard several gunshots go off at once. He looked at Dharish, who, startled by the sound, had hidden in his arms. No matter how angry Dharish was with Abhimanyu, he was still just a two-year-old child. Hearing so many shots had scared him terribly.
Pushing Dhairya away, Abhimanyu said, "Kid, get out of the way. Daddy needs to see what happened."
Even after hearing Abhimanyu, Dhairya wasn't ready to let go of him. He was terrified. Crying, he said, "Mom, I want Mommy. Take me to Mom. Daddy, take me to Mom, or I'll never talk to you again, ever. I'll go very far away from you."
Hearing his son say that, Abhimanyu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He hugged Dhairya to his chest and took him out of the room. Outside, all the servants were in a state of panic.
A bodyguard ran up and stood before Abhimanyu. He said in a panicked voice, "Boss, Baldev Thakur and his convoy are standing outside our mansion. Many of his goons are standing outside right now, sir. Please do something."
Abhimanyu's eyes narrowed at the mention of Baldev Thakur's name. Pushing Dhairya away, he said, "Dhairya, baby, get up. Daddy has to go talk to someone about something important."
Hearing Dhairya, Abhimanyu sighed deeply and, looking at the servant, said, "Is that girl gone, or is she still here?"
Hearing Abhimanyu, Dhairya cried, "I want my Mommy. If she leaves, I'll go after her too. Daddy, I really will go after her."
Hearing Dhairya, Abhimanyu composed himself and, handing Dhairya to the servant, said, "Take him to that girl."
Saying this, Abhimanyu walked out of the mansion with long strides. Outside, Baldev Thakur and his two brothers were standing. Several of their men were standing there with them as well.
Abhimanyu came outside, glared at them, and said, "Baldev Thakur, what is the special reason for coming here?"
As soon as Baldev Thakur saw Abhimanyu, he shouted, "Abhimanyu Randhawa, how dare you and your family kidnap my fiancée and bring her here? You people are the ones who made her disappear from the mandap, aren't you, just to humiliate me in front of the whole village?"
Hearing Baldev Thakur, Abhimanyu's eyes narrowed. He said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking?"
He had barely said that when Baldev Thakur's brother, Jaswant Thakur, shouted, "That girl you've hidden in your house. That characterless girl was my brother's fiancée, who ran away from the mandap."
It was you and your family who ran her off, wasn't it? The Rhandhawa family has been after us for years. But this time, for the enmity you've provoked, you will have to pay with your lives."
Hearing Jaswant Thakur, Baldev Thakur's brother, Abhimanyu said through gritted teeth, "Stay in your place. You don't have the standing to threaten me. If I wanted to, I could make all of you disappear right where you stand, and the whole world wouldn't be able to find you."
"As for running away with some girl, Abhimanyu Randhawa doesn't have that much free time to waste on dogs like you."
No sooner had Abhimanyu said this than Baldev Thakur shouted, "Tell me, isn't there a girl in your house right now?"
As soon as he heard this, Sanj's face flashed before Abhimanyu's eyes. He said angrily, "Stop the nonsense. Even if there is a girl in my house, what business do you people have with her?"
Hearing Abhimanyu, Jaswant Thakur shouted, "That's the girl my brother was supposed to marry, and you ran off with her. Bring that girl here right now. Otherwise, you and your entire family will sleep forever tonight."
Abhimanyu was furious at that moment. These people had the audacity to threaten him. Grinding his teeth, Abhimanyu said, "I'm telling you for the last time, get out of here on your own. Otherwise, you'll need four shoulders to carry you out. You people don't have the guts to stand in front of Abhimanyu Randhawa and bark."
Hearing Abhimanyu, Baldev Thakur fired his rifle into the air and said, "Enough of your bullshit. Bring the girl who's in your house right now, right here in front of me. This instant, or there will be a bloodbath here today—with the blood of the Randhawa family."
"If you have the guts, then try and get out of here in one piece today," Abhimanyu said through gritted teeth. He was furious. No one had the audacity to shout at him, and yet these people were standing right in front of him, yelling.
They were saying bad things about her. How could he let them get away with it? Sanjh, who was watching all this, didn't know what to do. Her legs were trembling.
Just then, a sweet voice came from behind her. "Mamma, I'm here."
Hearing that voice, Saanj turned around to see Dhairya standing behind her, in a servant's arms, trying to get down. Seeing Dhairya, Saanj didn't think twice; she ran and stood right beside him.
She scooped Dhairya into her arms, held him to her chest, and began to cry loudly. Perhaps in this world, she felt she had no one of her own, which is why she felt a deep attachment to this small, innocent child who cared for her without any relation.
