Hey, Orni. You don't have to be afraid. He isn't here anymore," Niyati assured Orni who was hiding in the washroom with her children. Orni didn't answer. She just kept hiding like a scared bunny holding her children. After gaining her senses back she was just scared and nervous about everything. The fear VR has installed inside her is still there. Niyati again insisted," Orni, please come out. See, Neela is here to meet you. She wants to play with Roman and Roman. How about we go shopping? It will be fun."" Aunty, come out. I want to play with Roman and Rion," Neela said with her baby voice and that's when Orni decided to come out. With trembling hands, Orni held the doorknob and twisted it. With nervous eyes, she peeped outside and noticed that Niyati wasn't lying. Taking a few relaxed breaths she came out of the washroom. Orni is now sitting on the bed and looking at her lap silently. Her hair is messy, her face is dull, the body is shaking slightly due to nervousness and fear.
Author's povSanjay asked making Orni paralyzed for a few moments," Do you want to meet your ma(mother)?"" Ma is here?" Orni questioned back shockingly. Before Sanjay could say anything further Srilekha's voice reached Orni's ear," Orni, my daughter."Orni looked behind Sanjay and found a middle-aged woman standing there with teary eyes. Orni looked carefully at the woman and even forgot to breathe for a few seconds. The woman was looking so similar to her. The same eyes, same lips, same nose.........it didn't take a lot of effort for Orni to understand that this woman is her mother. She was overjoyed to see her mother for the first time. " Ma," Orni let out with an inaudible voice. Srilekha ran towards Orni and then pulled her into a tight hug. Hugging her back, Orni burst into hysterical sobbing. They both cried in each other's arms. Breaking the hug Srilekha cupped Orni's face affectionately. Caressing her cheeks she wiped away Orni's tears and kissed her forehead. " Mera bacc
Author's pov" Just looking at her face I knew that I have some connection with her," Satya said looking at Sanjay and Srilekha. Sanjay answered politely," Your son saved Orni and I will be grateful for that always."" Though I told you earlier that I won't have any rights over her, I can't stop myself from feeling affectionate towards her. After all, she is my daughter," Satya said having an affectionate smile for Orni. This time Srilekha said," She doesn't know it and I don't want her to know it also. I don't want her to think that Sanjay isn't her real father."" What a useless man I am!!" Sanjay said letting out sarcastic laughter but Srilekha can feel the pain in his voice. Well, Sanjay was an alchemist in a laboratory. He was the assistant of a Scientist. He was working with an unknown chemical substance unknown to the fact that it may cause severe health issues like infertility, cancer etc.One day he was hospitalised after losing consciousness in the laboratory. The doctor
Author's pov" Ma, Papa told me that you used to be a dance teacher," Orni asked Srilekha. It was nighttime and Orni was laying on the bed resting her head in her mother's lap. Srilekha was messaging Orni's head gently. After getting her mother back, Orni developed a habit of sleeping on her mother's lap. She was behaving like a lovesick child. Why won't she? After all, she was deprived of her mother's love all the years. A smile formed at the corner of Srilekha's lips. Taking a deep breath she looked outside. " Yes. I won a lot of prizes for my talent. I started dancing when I was only 10. My dad and mom were classical dan........" Srilekha started narrating her childhood while Orni was lost in his mother's words. Orni was mesmerised by her mother. The way she talks, her melodious voice, innocent eyes and good heart melt her. Specifically, the love she has seen between her father & mother is something that fascinates her. Only by looking at Srilekha's eyes, Orni can feel how much
Author's pov" What happened, baby? Why aren't you eating?" Shivansh asked Neela affectionately.Neela answered looking down," I am not hungry."Shivansh realized that something was wrong with Neela. She was looking so lost and sad. " Why are you upset, baby?" Shivansh asked patting her head gently. She answered," Papa, I am missing Daddy."Hearing the word Daddy Shivansh clenched his jaw tightly. He knew whom she was talking about. She was talking about VR. No matter how much he tries to make her understand that he is her real father, she doesn't understand. Her Daddy is more important to her than anything else. Since VR was sent to jail Neela can't meet her Daddy. After knowing VR's truth Niyati doesn't want her daughter around a criminal like VR.

Author's povOrni stirred in her sleep feeling sun rays all over her eyes. Feeling something soft under her, she realised that she was laying on a soft & comfy bed. Her eyes got shot open when she remembered Roman & Rion. Opening her eyes she looked at her surroundings and of course, it was an unfamiliar room. Looking outside through the window she only saw a vast ocean in front of her. It didn't take a long time for her to realize that this place is an island. She remembered how VR kidnapped her & her sons. She was angry with VR but she was hurt beyond the level understanding that it was Shivansh who handed her to VR so that he can save Niyati. She can't believe he chose Niyati over her. Doesn't he call her his sister? Then, how can he hand his sister to a monster like VR? Yes, as expected VR trapped Shivansh so perfectly that Shivansh fell into a dilemma. He wasn't understanding anything at all. So, finally, he did whatever his heart suggested " Roman......Rion......" Orni calle
Orni's pov" Mumma, won't you sleep?" Roman asked to peep under the bed. I answered back while taking a breath," You sleep. Mumma will sleep later."" Mumma is he really bad? A scary person? He doesn't seem like one," Rion asked sounding curious. I responded rudely," Yes. He is a bad man. That's why he is keeping us here. Away from your grandma and grandpa."It was nighttime. Putting the kids on the bed I was sitting near the window. I wasn't feeling sleepy at all. How can I sleep around that man? The way I insulted him I don't know what's going to be consequences. Is he going to beat me again? Is he going to rape me again? Out of anger, I acted like a lioness but only I know how scared I am. I just hope my brother does something as soon as possible. At first, I was angry that he handed me back to that monster. But, later I realised one thing whatever he did. It was for love. For his family. I don't know what I would have done if I was in his situation. I can't even imagine Ma & P
A few months later Author's pov" God, please reunite me with my parents. With my mother. I can't live with that monster. His face, his voice everything about him is just too much disturbing for me. I don't want to be with him. Please, God," Orni prayed mentally while joining her hands. She was standing on the terrace and praying to soothe her mind. She was tired of roaming in the same house with VR, breathing in the same air as him. His presence was making her sick so she decided to spend some time on the terrace. It's been months since VR kidnapped her and imprisoned her on this island. Shivansh was right that VR is no fool. Since this island is on someone else's name Shivansh couldn't have permission to check it though he was suspicious about this place. The authority didn't permit him to check since it's a private property. Orni was fed up living here like a prisoner. Every single day VR would beg her to forgive and accept him back but Orni never uttered a single word to him.
