Karan
Later that day, Dave arrested Adah too for helping Rhea in this crime, though she apologized to Siya
for her mistake, saying she had become too greedy and Siya even forgave her.
We explained everything to Maa and Kaya they both were having a hard time believing our words, they
just can't process that Anjali died by Rhea's hand though I wasn't able to tell Mom that Rhea did all this
to get me so I made up a backstory with the help of Dave that Rhea wanted entire property on her
name that's why she did all this and thankfully, they somehow believed it.
Unfortunately, I had to tell Sunny in detail since he witnessed Rhea's madness for me, he didn't utter a
word for a moment when he got to know but he said he was grateful that we are safe and she is behind
the bars for the crimes she committed.
Danny called on Anjali's phone to know why it's taking her time in the police station, he was way too
shocked when I answered the call and told him what had happened in the past few hours, he said he
can't change anything so it's no use to upset on it, now he's only worried about Esha, I told him that I
will legally adopt Esha and will give her the perfect life that Anjali always wanted for her daughter, he
ends up the call, saying, he is coming over my place with Esha to check on us, I wanted to tell him to
rest but instead I felt that this is the time I needed him the most so I didn't stop him.
Even after everything, there are some unanswered questions that it's become certain for me to know
like why Siya's parents hid this from us about that they had two daughters and what promise were they
made and why? I know Mom ain't gonna tell me easily so I informed them to meet me at my home
tomorrow morning and it's going to be a surprise for Siya and others.
***Next morning***
Danny had come and even stayed with me, we ended up giving each other some company and talked
crazily over our silly memories the whole night though he said the only thing he is sad about is that I
still didn't listen to him that Kaya shouldn't hang out with Jay not because he likes her but he didn't
want her in any trouble which I agreed.
After breakfast, Siya's parents showed up and when she knows this she immediately wrapped her
around them and cried her heart out, they tried to ease her, not knowing why she is crying in the first
place.
"Adah, what happened?" They asked her.
"Mom, dad, they know the truth now, " Siya said, explaining the entire story to them again, they were
also shocked, guilty, and revealed as they burst into the Niagara fall of tears.
"How should we thank and apologize to you, Son," Siya's dad said to me, joining his hands together,
crying, "If some other man would be in your place he must have thrown Siya out of the house by now
and embarrassed in front of everyone, but not only you supported her you even accepted her with all
your heart,"
I held his hands to stop him, "Kamal Ji, don't apologize to me, you are older than me, and what are you
saying, I understand your situation, you wanted to somehow protect my parent's words only. You know
what, I am way too grateful that I married Siya instead of Adah, " I told him, smirking at Siya, "She is
the best thing ever happened to me, " She blushed hard.
"How could I thank you?"
I shake my head in no, "You don't need to thank me but you can do me a favor."
"What favor, Son?"
"Will you tell us the real reason behind the promise you made to my parents? And why you hid that you
have two daughters instead of one?"
Siya was shocked by my words whereas my mom spoke from behind me out of a blue, "Karan, what is
it?!" She was asking me what the heck I am saying.
I blink my eyes as an indication for her that what I am doing is right, she closed her mouth and join us
over the living room where Kamal Ji started the story from the beginning.

AUTHOR'S POV for better understanding.
Flashback.
5-years-old Siya was playing in front of her house with a ball when a small yet beautiful butterfly caught
her eyes, Siya was amused seeing such a thing ever in her life so she followed the butterfly to catch
her.
After some time that butterfly flew somewhere, vanishing out of her sight, she got pissed off and turned
around to return home, only to find she is in the middle of the jungle and lost her way back.
Not knowing what exactly to do she just walked around to find a way but what she found was the lake,
that lake she saw for the first time, for once she thought that she is some fairy tale place, discovering
super blue yet shiny water, beautiful flowers and hundreds of different types of butterflies.
Also, a guy who was 14-years-old was in wonderful royal clothes, sitting near the lake. He was
throwing some stones into the water, she decided to ask if he is the prince of this magic land, she made
her way over to him.
"Are you a prince?" She asked excitedly, he glanced up at her in confusion, he wondered how did she
know he is a prince but then he realized that she must have known by his attire.
"Yes, so?" He replied a bit rudely.
"Because I never met a prince before, you know, it's my first time, " She says, making him chuckle, "Is
this place yours?" She asks, innocently.
"You can say, who permitted you to enter here?" He asked to tease her, he was bored so he wanted
something to pass his time.
Her face falls in sadness, "No one, I didn't know I just mistakenly came here while finding my way back
to my home," She honestly told him the truth.
He sighed, thinking to help the poor girl, "Okay, follow me, I will drop you at your home, "
She looked at him, baffled, "You know my home?"
He shook his head, "No, but I know the way to the village, "
"Ohh thank you! Prince!" She said, hugging him, he was stunned by her sudden gesture.
"Karan, "
"Huh?"
"Call me, Karan, " He corrected her.
"Okay, Karan, I am Siya, " she extends her mini hand as compared to his giant ones for a handshake,
he was very tall that she comes by his waist and he was also matured than her.
He slowly shook her hand and led the way to the village, after a few minutes they were standing in front
of the village, "Here we are, I hope you can go back home by yourself from here, "
She nodded, "Yes! But can you promise me something?"
He raised a brow at her, "What promise?"
"That you won't tell anyone about our secret magic place, "
She was just an innocent or he thought stupid girl so he didn't tell her that her magic place is just a
well-known tourist spot in Jodhpur which is shut down due to off-season but technically, yes, this place
belongs to him and his family.
"I-I promise, " He said, keeping her heart.
"Thank you so much!"
"But I know a better place than this." He says catching her attention.
"Where it is?"
"In my palace, if you want I can show you tomorrow."
The way she smiled and her eyes flickered in amusement made him forget to breathe and don't know
how many bests his heart skipped.
"Yes, I would love to see!"
"Alright then, same place, same time."
She nods, "done!" With that, she ran towards her house as Karan secretly followed her to see if she
reached her home safely or not, and after confirming she is safe he also went to his palace, only
thinking about her all day.
The next day, he kept his words and gave her the tour of his palace and the place he was talking about,
as the day was passing into weeks and then to months were crazy because over the time Karan was
addicted to having Siya around him, he was very fond of her that if he didn't meet her for a day, his
heart starts to worry and urges to meet her asap. Karan has forgotten the age difference between them
when he is with her he becomes someone around her age, she treats him like he is too special to her
not because he's a prince but as a human being which made him super comfortable with her. They
were true bestfriends.
One day, Thakur and Thakurain came to know that Karan is performing very badly in school, his grades
are falling and even his teachers complained that he bunked many classes. Resulting in a huge fight
between the couples they were blaming each other, saying that they were busy with their respective
works so they weren't able to focus on their son and after some time, they concluded that they will ask
the maids what Karan do behind their backs.
"Thakur and Thakurain sa, Kunwar sa spends his time with a little girl all day he even skips his classes
and everything for her, " She told them.
They weren't believing in her words, "Who is she?"
"We don't know but she will be here in some time, "
They both nodded and decided to keep an eye on them secretly to know what Karan has seen in a little
girl that made him do all this.
Siya arrived in the palace laughing along with Karan they both were tightly holding hands, Thakurain
notices the gleam in his Son's eyes that she never saw before, he was happy, genuinely happy. She
soon figured out that Karan is obsessed with that girl. After Siya left for her home with so many
chocolates that Karan gave her in his private car.
Karan turned around, laughing to himself when he halted in his tracks noticing his parents glare at him.
"Karan, what is this?!" They yelled in unison, Karan knew what they are talking about so he didn't
waste his time explaining and just said.
"Maa, Dad, I love her,"
His parent's eyes went wide and their jaw dropped on the floor, "Do you know what you are saying?!"
His mother asked.
"Yes, I know, and I will marry her only."
"But she is a child!" His dad said this time.
"Doesn't matter, I will wait for her to be 18." With that, he rushed to his room, ignoring more questions
and tantrums they were about to throw at him.
"Karan is serious, he ain't gonna listen, " His mom spoke matter-of-factly, "This is the first time he ever
wished for something,"
His dad nodded in agreement, "You are right, but we can't let this continue, he is still a kid and need to
focus on his life, "
"So now what?"
"We will send him to Us to study and we will go to that little's girl parent's home to meet them. "
Seeing no other way She agreed to him.
When Siya reached home, she found her twin sister Adah was glaring at her as her hands were
crossed over her chest, angrily, "Siya, tell me who gives you so many chocolates every day, " she
demanded.
"He is a prince, " Adah laughed, thinking that Siya is lying to her.
"Stop making a fake excuse, Siya just tell me the truth! Who give you!"
"I am not lying!"
"Yes you are, give me the chocolates! I will show them to Mama, " Adah said snatching chocolates from
her hands and Siya mistakenly falls them on the floor as Adah pushed Siya inside the room, and locked
the door.
"Adah! Open the door!" Siya banged from inside.
"No way, you liar!" Adah instantly picks up the chocolates and runs into the living room while eating
some of them on the way, she lied to Siya that she will show them to her mother because she just
wanted to eat tasty foreign toffees which are not available anywhere in their village.
Siya sighed in defeat and laid over the bed as slowly sleep came into her eyes. She yawned and fell
deeply into the slumber.
Adah notice some unfamiliar people were in her home, talking to her parents, soon an old woman eyes
fell on Adah, mumbling to the man who seemed to be her husband, "She is there, "
Karan's parents assumed Adah as Siya because of the same faces and the chocolate Adah was eating
was given by Karan.
"Thakur, Thakurain sa, we are so grateful that you both decided to visit our home but unfortunately, we
had no proper food to offer you, " Siya's dad said.
"No, please, it may sound weird to hear but we want your daughter's hand in marriage for my son, "
Karan's Mom said to him, smiling.
"Yes, our son becomes so happy when he is around your daughter like a different person, "
"But would be okay that Kunwar sa is so educated and will marry our daughter?" He questioned them
sadly.
"No worries, we will pay for her education and when she will be 18 I want her to marry my son, that's it,
" Their words more like a great deal for them because they can teach their daughter as well and use
the money for their work too.
"Sure as you say, Thakur and Thakurain sa, "
"But we want you to promise us that you won't tell this to your daughter neither will we to our son
because it will distract them from their studies, "
"We promise, "
And after that, they sent Karan to study in the Us as he was growing he forgot about Siya over time and
fell in love with Anjali the same thing happened with Siya when Karan didn't show up at her house to
take her to his palace her memory of him starts to get blurbs and she began to think that he is just her
childhood imagination and slowly she even forgot him like he doesn't even exist in her brain anymore
and then she met Vishal.
Siya's parents thought that it's no use to educate Siya because Adah was the one who is going to
marry Karan so she needs the best education, clothes, and everything to get ready from now. It was
very unfair of them even though they had taken enough money from Karan's parents, that they can
easily give their both daughter equal rights but instead, they wasted their money either buying new
clothes for Adah every week or sending her to extra classes and Siya only got the old clothes that Adah
doesn't like to wear, she had to do all the household chores by herself. But she never complained
about It because she was happy with the fact, that at least her sister is living a better life.
And the rest you guys know.
