sometime later. Gaura was still away and Kokila thought it’s the best time to tell the truth to her family. And she called them all at once.
“There is something I have to tell to all of you.” She began.
“Maaji, is everything alright?” Gopi asked with a slight worry.
“Well, not exactly.”
“Kakiji, you look scared!” Paridhi added.
“Listen to me, all of you. There was a serious danger for our family, but everything is fine now.”
“What? What danger?” Hetal said.
“Is it Gaura again?” Gopi added angrily.
“Yes. She is responsible for what happened to Sita. She has tried to drown Bhavani and she has somehow managed to put the blame on her. There’s more, when I threatened to reveal everything to all of you, she said that she will murder you all and told me she has prepared a dangerous poison for you. Or perhaps for all of us. I was very panicked and didn’t know what to do. So I thought
that in such situation, I need to find someone who is as tricky as Gaura. And that’s why I did something that I would never do if the situation wasn’t that dangerous. I did a thing I would never even think of doing.”
“What did you do, maaji?”
“I joined hands with Bhavani?”
They all looked shockingly at her.
“What? what have you done?” Urmila finally said after listening for some time.
“I had no other choice.” Kokila continued. “I know that Bhavani is also a criminal but she agreed to help me. She gave me the poison that Gaura threatened me with and now, we are safe! We can make Gaura leave the mansion at once!”
“You will never feel safe Kokila Modi, and you can not make me leave the mansion!!! Ha ha ha ha!”
They all turned around and saw Gaura and Bhavani, smiling brightly at them.
“How dare you come here?” Gopi was the first to say.
“Be careful with your words, Gopi Modi!” Bhavani replied. “Today is the day when you will get what you deserve. We will get you back for everything!”
“What do you mean, Bhavani?”
“Your maaji is very naive. She thought that she can come to me anytime and I will happily join hands with her and destroy Gaura! Ha, ha.”
“So you had lied to me?” Kokila asked.
“Yes! I tricked you! The poison is still with us. What I gave you is just an empty bottle and not the one with the poison! You made me suffer so much and yet, you think I will ever help you!”
“Bhavani, I know that Gaura is forcing you to do all this. Tell us how did she threaten you? You said you also dislike her, didn’t you?”
“Do I dislike her or not, that’s none of your business, Kokila Modi!”
“You did a very big mistake, Kokila.” Gaura added. “You shared our secret with someone else, and you know how much I hate that, don’t you?”
“Gaura, stop it! I had to do something, I would never let you hurt my family!”
“My friend, you should already know that you can’t escape from Gaura. For all the years I have been torturing you, you were never able to understand my plans nor prevent them from happening. My latest plan was indeed the same. I instructed Bhavani to give you that fake bottle and you believed her.”
And then, Sita appeared.
“So you are responsible for my arrest?” She said to Gaura. But she remained silent.
“Sita, don’t expect an answer from that shameless woman!” Kokila said. “I will tell you what you want to here. You had heard right, Gaura has tried to drown Bhavani but has put the blame on you instead!”
“Why? Why did you do that? What had I done to you?”
“You are a part of that Modi family, Sita. And every one of them must suffer. Every one member of that family deserves only suffering and nothing else! Perhaps you don’t know their past, or you know some of it because you recently joined them. Ask your beloved Gopi. But perhaps she will not tell you anything.”
“Of course she will not! How can you expect honesty from a murderer!”
That was Rashi. When the family heard her saying that, they got sad. She was their daughter but she had decided to join hands with Gaura even now.
“Rashi, what are you saying again?” Gopi said.
“Isn’t it true? You murdered my mother Radha? Does Sita knows that?”
“Whatever she has done, she has had a reason!” Sita replied.
These words made Rashi angry.
“How dare you! You came in here recently, so be careful how you behave! You may be Gopi Modi’s daughter in law, but that doesn’t mean you are allowed to talk about my mother!”
“Rashi, stop it immediately!” Kokila said. “Why don’t you want to understand that Radha was a threat to your life! If it wasn’t Gopi to safe you, now you wouldn’t be here with us! Her wish to revenge us overtook her to such an extent that she stopped making difference between what’s right and what’s wrong! She tortured our family so many years, she wanted to drown Gopi, how can you feel sympathy for such a person!”
“I don’t believe a word you say! There’s no such mother that will want to hurt her own child! You had tortured my mother so much, that’s why she had wanted to put an end to your existence! I told you that before, and I will say it again. I hate you since the first day I learned the truth. Your family loves to torture innocent people, isn’t that right?”
“Don’t worry, Rashi.” Gaura said. “After they die, the world will become a better place and they will not be able to torture anyone else.”
“What are you saying?” Gopi said.
“You will see now.”
And next, Gaura took out the real poison.
“See, that’s the poison that your dear mother in law wanted to find that much. But she failed. Now I will use it as planned and the Modi family will cease to exist.”
“Maasiji, please don’t do it!” Gopi said.
“No, Gopi, do not talk to her!” Kokila added. “If we are meant to live, we will survive. If we are meant to die, let it be so.”
“Very wise words, Kokila! It’s strange, isn’t it? You have committed so many sins but you still know how to talk wisely!”
“Kakiji had never committed a sin!” Paridhi then added.
“Yes! She is not such a person!” Sonakshi said. “She has always protected the family from all dangers and she will do it today! Do what you will but you will not defeat her, Gaura Suryavanshi! Nor you or Bhavani will succeed!”
“Don’t pay attention to her words, Gaura maasi.” Rashi said. “She is just rumbling. no one can escape their destiny and whatever is meant to happen, will happen no matter what you do.”
“Very well said, Rashi.”
And then, Gaura scattered the poison in the air and the Modis began to feel dizzy. Bhavani and Rashi felt the same, even Gaura felt it. But they didn’t get worried. They had a plan. Afterwards Bhavani, Gaura and Rashi left the mansion and locked the Modis there.
“Are you alright?” Gaura asked.
“Yes, we are fine.” Rashi and Bhavani replied in unison.
‘They will finally die.” Gaura continued. “The poison will do no harm to us since we left quickly. But it will harm them a lot. They are still in that room and the poison is in the air. It’s currently doing what it’s meant to do and soon, we shall receive the good news. Ha ha!”
But Kokila wouldn’t give up that easily. She was determined to safe herself and the family. After many attempts, she finally managed to unlock the door. She somehow had stayed unharmed by the poison but the other members of the family had already fallen unconscious.
After she managed to leave the house, she succeeded to help the others and took them to a hospital. They somehow survived, but the way to recovery would be a long one. The poison had damaged them a lot. Kokila was happy to be with her family again.
And they all learned an important lesson. Kokila promised herself to never unite with their enemies again, no matter what the situation is. They all stopped interfering with Gaura, even Meera and Vidya were now afraid of her. But she wouldn’t give up that easy. She knew that one day, they will not be that lucky and she would finally complete her revenge. But would it be tomorrow or in a few years? No one knew.
