Party started at Raichand Mansion and Aarohi was roaming around waiting for Deep and Ishita to come downstairs. She felt her patience being tested a lot so she ran upstairs going to knock at their doors when she was pulled in a room. It was Maya who had pulled her inside her room. ‘What did you do to me last night?’ she asked angrily and Aarohi acted as she didn’t knew anything. ‘What mausi? I didn’t do anything,’ Aarohi replied acting sweet. ‘Oh, let me freshen your memory, you scared me taking Aarohi’s name, how dare you blo*dy murderer? Idiot!’
‘Ahhmm, mausi, let me tell you that you’ve taken her name first time so I m forgiving you but don’t take it again, else you will get to see my dark side,’ she warned. ‘Oh? So you forgot those tortures I gave you in childhood? Actually you might’ve forgotten your past, how your life was, right? You need to be the same nine year old scared Tara once again,’ she said and held her hair tightly making her angry. She knew what to do. ‘I m sorry mausi, I won’t ever speak in front of you, please sorry,’ she said innocently.
‘Sorry ki bachi, abhi batati hoon,’ she said and left her hair holding her wrist tightly and took her downstairs.
‘Tujhe lagta hai tu mom k saamne mujhe badnaam karne ki koshish karegi to main darr jaungi? Main Aarohi hoon, Tara nahi, neechay teri hi beizzati hogi,’ Aarohi thought smirkingly.
‘Didi, look she tried to scare me by dressing like Aarohi,’ Maya said to Roma and Aarohi immediately went to Roma and hid behind her hugging her from behind like a child. ‘Mom, please just ask her not to take her name, I am not the old Tara, I have changed, you believe me right?’
‘Yes beta I do, and you Maya, don’t take Aarohi’s name again, she has moved on by much difficulty, don’t make her remember her past,’ Roma first replied sweetly to Aarohi then sternly to Maya. ‘But she really did that,’ Maya insisted. ‘Don’t create a scene, and go, don’t attend this party if you want to keep doing this, go, you must be drunk,’ Roma said getting irritated by her and Maya went glaring at Aarohi while she smiled victoriously at her and winked at her still hugging Roma. ‘Mom I love you,’ she said kissing her cheek.
‘Love you too,’ Roma replied. Deep came downstairs and smiled at Aarohi and Ishita too came. She ran to them and hugged him. ‘Deep, I insulted Maya right now,’ she whispered. ‘Good, baby,’ he whispered back and kissed her hair. She smiled breaking the hug and hugged Ishita. ‘Di, its our another victory, let’s do one dance competition between us,’ she whispered. ‘OK fine,’ she whispered back and Ishita went on stage while Aarohi went to some girl to call her also. ‘Hey Pankti, would you mind having a dance competition with me and Ishita di?’ Aarohi asked sweetly. ‘Sure,’ she said and they both also went on stage.

Everyone clapped on their energy and superb dance. Maya looked at Aarohi from the corridor.
Be happy as much as you want to and dance because later you will have to dance on my fingers, blo*dy murderer! Maya thought to herself smirkingly and went to her room.
Ishita talked to Raman on her phone. ‘I have been missing you since so long,’ she said. ‘So come na baby,’ he said. ‘Baby and all,’ she said getting shocked. ‘Yes, actually Jhansi ki Rani was her nickname, not yours,’ he said and she got tears in her eyes and smiled lightly. ‘Yes Raman, it was her nickname, you gave her everything to me, but you couldn’t give me that place in your heart.’
‘No, please don’t say that, you’re a replica of her, and I know somewhere you’re her and she’s you,’ he replied. ‘Yes Raman, somewhere you’re also a sweet man and somewhere a Raavan,’ she said. ‘Haha, look I told you somewhere you’re her,’ he said. ‘I will always love you no matter what, I will be your Ishita forever,’ she said. ‘OK OK, you’re also a Jhansi ki Rani like her, what’s the difference between you two? Nothing at all, please don’t be emotional, everything will be good and well, I promise you.’
She smiled and disconnected the call and a tear fell from her eyes but she wiped it immediately. Maya recalled her old bonding with Tara before that car accident happened.
Flashback:
Maya was sitting beside sleeping little Tara who was very naughty and won’t wake up by anyone. ‘Tara,’ she said pulling off the blanket slowly from her body. ‘Ammmm,’ little Tara said getting disturbed in her sleep and was asking for her blanket. ‘If you won’t wake up, I will do the same mischief everyday,’ Maya said to her laughingly and opened all the curtains of the room, she shielded her eyes. Maya stood in front of her and the light was shielded easily and little Tara slept again. ‘Aray, badmaash, tum phir so gai, utho chalo, nahi toh..,’ Maya said leaving her sentence incomplete. ‘Nahi toh kya maasi?’
‘Tickle tickle,’ Maya replied. Little Tara smiled in her sleep but didn’t woke up and now Maya had no other option. ‘Dekho Tara, tumhe sona hai sojao, OK?’ she said calmly but at the same time she was mischievous too. She covered her with the duvet again. ‘Achha Tara, baat suno, tumhe pata hai yeh meri ungli bari bechain hai, mujhse kuchh keh bhi rahi hai, nahi nahi, mujhse kuchh nahi keh rahi, yeh to tumse kuchh keh rahi hai, ab dekho yeh ungli kahan kahan jati hai,’ Maya said to her and tickled her by her finger and she started laughing.
Little Tara woke up and kicked the duvet while laughing as she tickled her. ‘Achha achha. Ab to main uthgai na? Ab to mujhe chhor do,’ little Tara said cutely. Maya took her in her lap. ‘Nahi nahi, dunia chhor k chali jaungi lekin tumhe nahi, kyun k tu toh itni pyaari hai chhorne ka dil hi nh karega na,’ Maya said and again tickled her and she laughed once again.
Flashback end.
Tara’s childish laughter still echoed in her ears and she was smiling to herself recalling that day. But her smile vanished recalling the worst day of her life.
Flashback:
‘ ‘Vo Tara hai na, us ne gaari se kuchal diya humari bachi ko, margai humari bachi,’ Maya said to Prithvi. They had an illegitimate daughter who they had hidden from everyone and she used to live separately. ‘Ab kya karein?’ Prithvi asked her. ‘Badla, badla lena hoga humko, usko gaari chalaney ki kya zarurat thi? Goad ujaar k rakh di meri, Maya badla legi apni bachi k saath huay anarth ka,’ she sweared to take revenge from Tara that day.
Flashback end.
‘Sab chheen liya tumne mujhse mera, main tujhe kabhi maaf nahi karungi, kabhi nahi,’ Maya said to herself.
Prithvi entered the room. ‘Aray pagal, chup ho ja, aray itnay waqt se batanay ki koshish kar raha hoon tujhe main, humari bachi zinda hai, pagal mat ban, tu ne yeh jhooti khabar phelai thi, abb bas or tang mat kar Tara ko, chhor de usay, bachi thi, galti hogai,’ he said trying to defend Tara. ‘Achha? Chal hatt,’ Maya said angrily and went to washroom banging the door hard. Prithvi nodded in disbelief and went from there unaware that Aarohi heard everything. ‘What? It was their child? And she’s alive? They kept giving her punishment when their child is alive? I will have to find her and follow Prithvi to find her out,’ Aarohi said to herself and followed Prithvi.
She took Tara’s car and followed him. She saw him stop before a small farmhouse. Aarohi sensed it as very familiar. He went inside and she too followed him without him knowing. She looked inside through a window. ‘Papa,’ said a girl and hugged Prithvi. He hugged her back. Aarohi took their video. ‘I have come here to tell you that I will take you from here soon,’ he said. ‘Won’t others be angry knowing this secret?’ she asked. ‘No,’he said.
‘But papa,’ she began speaking but he cut her in between. ‘No buts, please Vedhika, you will get your whole family at once, so don’t be stupid about it,’ he said to her. ‘OK papa,’ she said and hugged her. Aarohi ended the video. ‘So she’s the one for who this had been happening? She won’t be knowing her mom’s cruelty. But don’t worry Vedhika, I have known you since childhood and I remember you lived in an orphanage which bhaiya and bhabhi often visited and that’s how we, I mean you, me, Gopi and Rashi became friends, but whatever I am going to do, will surely break your heart, sorry for that, but truth has to be unfolded,’ Aarohi said to herself and went from there.
Ishita was sitting beside Tara who was tensed on how to get her revenge. ‘Tara, Aarohi will help for sure, you don’t worry,’ Ishita said and someone entered the room. It was Raman and Pihu along with Adi, Ruhi, Mihika and Vandu. ‘Look Tara, who came, jeeju, your nephew and nieces, sisters too,’ Ishita said and she smiled. She reached out her arms looking at Pihu and she came running to her. ‘My baby, so cute you are,’ Tara told her.
‘Thank you,’ Pihu said and she took her in her lap. ‘You’re Pihu?’ Tara asked. ‘Yes, and what’s your name?’ Pihu asked cutely. ‘Tara,’ she replied. ‘You also have a nice name,’ Pihu said and Tara pulled her cheeks. Adi and Ruhi too came. ‘How are you?’ Tara asked them. ‘Fine and you?’ Ruhi asked. ‘What happened to you?’ Adi asked. ‘Just banged my head on the wall, sometimes I have a severe headache so I bang my head on the wall trying to make it OK,’ Tara said on a serious note which made the duo laugh. She smiled.
‘You seriously do this? Wow, even this Jhansi ki Rani does this, I mean she did it once when she had a hangover,’ Raman said and Tara chuckled. ‘You’re so funny jeeju,’ Tara said. Mihika and Vandu were standing far shocked on seeing their readymade sister. ‘Mihiku. I feel something wrong with akka and her, akka shares everything, why she didn’t tell about her?’ Vandu said. ‘I think we should leave, I saw her photo in the magazine, she’s a serial killer, we should stay away from her,’ Mihika said and they opened the door of the ward and ran.
