"Now tell everything, don't try to escape," he said. The beggar remained quiet. "Speak up!" Karan said angrily. "Sir, its true that this child was sold to me, but like all beggars give sedatives to children, I didn't give to him, he was already sedated before he was sold to me," said the beggar. "And the person was him, right?" Karan asked showing Shaurya's photo and he nodded. The beggar was put behind the bars and Shaurya was arrested. Karan took Dev to pediatrician and all the sedatives were pumped out of him, he became conscious.

Karan smiled emotionally at him and made him sit up and hugged him. "Dev, baby, thank God you woke up, I was so worried for you," he said. "Dad, what had happened? I only remember Shaurya uncle picking me," Dev said and Karan released the hug. "You don't remember anything else? Do you feel any pain in your body?" Karan asked in order to know if he got sexually abused, Dev got confused and didn't react. "Doctor, is it safe to get his medical done?" Karan asked. "Yes it's safe," the doctor replied. "Who would do it?" he asked. "A healthcare professional would do it," the doctor replied.

Karan nodded. "But what has happened? You can't get the medical examination done without police involved, was the kid sexually abused?" asked the pediatrician. "I think so," he said. "Well then you need to tell the police, they can help you with it," the pediatrician told and Karan got Dev discharged from the hospital and took him to the car. "Dad, I am very scared of Shaurya uncle, I don't like him," he said. "You would never get to meet him again, don't worry," Karan said and fastened his seatbelt and drove off to the police station.

He took Dev with him and told everything to the police. "Okay so then get the medical examination done," the inspector allowed and got the formalities done and sent them in police jeep to the professional healthcare and there Dev's medical plus forensic exam was carried out and there was no such signs that he was sexually abused. But his forensic exam did have something. There was blood on his trousers and that was it for Karan. He took every safety measure to protect him and that Shaurya never gets to get out of the prison. All this truth was told to Ishwari but not to Alia as she was too small and even when she grew up, she never got the courage to ask Ishwari.

Fb end.

"God, you went through too much, but you didn't tell me as well, Dev, I am so sorry," she said and hugged him. He hugged her back. They remained in the hug for a very long time. "Don't ever feel weak that being a man all this happened with you, nowadays even men aren't safe, many people have no one to protect them, but at least you had him," she said.

"I had him in the past, I have you now," he said, she smiled and released the hug. "Cutie pie, look, we would marry soon, live together and have a fresh start, a life full of happiness and without a pinch of pain, me and you, and our budgie, along with our children," she said and he gasped. "Budgie?" he asked. "You only gifted me one," she said and he got thinking and then understood it might be a plan by Pragati to make Nalini happy when he was missing. "Baby, I never gifted you a budgie, it was your sister's gift," he said.

"Oh, in that case, my sister is the best," she said. "No, my sister Alia is the best," he argued. "No, my sister Pragati is the best," she also argued. "Aray, wait, call them both here, they would only tell who's the best," he said and she nodded. He went and brought Alia, she called Pragati who arrived after sometime. "What happen? Why did you drag me here bhai?" Alia asked placing her hands on her hips, he chuckled, she got confused and looked at Nalini and didn't get a reaction. "Yes, why did you call me all of a sudden, Nalini?" Pragati asked.

"He's saying his sister Alia is the best," she told Pragati who gasped. "Yes, and she's saying her sister Pragati is the best, so you both are here so that we can see who's the best sister," he said, Pragati and Alia looked at each other and shrugged. "Awww, bro I have to be the best. Even after being a little sister, I care about you the most, I went on a hunger strike for you, and I gave you my blood even after being so weak," she said, Dev smiled sweetly at her.

"Oh, baby doll, even I care the most about Nalini, I always took care of her like a mother, and I have always been there by her side since forever," Pragati said. "Ohhh, even I was by my brother's side since forever," Alia snapped back. "Hey? I am elder to you, okay?" Pragati said. "I am smaller than you," Alia said. "Okay okay fine guys, why are you guys fighting?" Dev asked, Alia and Pragati looked at each other and laughed. "We were just having fun," she said. "You both are the best," Nalini said and the four of them shared a group hug.

They heard some voices and went outside to check. They found Rohit and Ishwari walking inside together. "Umm, Dev, Alia, Rohit wanted to meet you both to check that you both are okay," she said. "Rohit uncle," Dev and Alia exclaimed and ran to him and hugged him, Rohit smiled and hugged them back. After sometime they released the hug and Rohit kissed them on their foreheads. "Good to see you both happy after a long time my babies," he said and they got confused. "I meant, you both are like my kids to me," he clarified and they smiled.

"Don't know why, but it felt good to hear it when you mistakenly said we are your kids only," Alia said, Rohit smiled. "Even I felt good," Dev said, Rohit cupped his face and looked at him emotionally, Dev felt confused and overwhelmed both at the same time. "Are you okay uncle?" he asked, Rohit smiled and nodded and hugged him, Dev hugged him back and felt good while hugging him. Ishwari smiled seeing them. Rohit released the hug and caressed his head, Dev smiled at him. "Rohit uncle, my brother would get diabetic if you see him with so much love," Alia said.

"Aww, are you jealous?" Dev asked. "No ways," she said, Rohit called her as well and hugged both of them together. Ishwari got emotional seeing them like that. "Okay kids, you both continue your talk, okay, go," he said and they went. Ishwari came to Rohit. "What's going on? My kids feel so good with you, as if they have some old connection with you? Why?" she asked. "Nothing such Ishwari, we know each other for a year now, so we all grew close," he said, she nodded.

"By the way, thanks a lot for saving Dev and Alia earlier, and also for being their friend," she said. "Ishwari, we are friends, okay, friends doesn't thank each other," he said, she smiled, they shared a friendly hug. "By the way Rohit, even I feel connected to you, why?" she asked releasing the hug and he shrugged. "Don't know, really," he said and she got suspicious. "You are hiding something Rohit," she said and he shook his head. "No Ishwari, am not, and even if I am, you would know it on the right time," he said and she nodded.

************************************

Preeta and Arjun played with one year old Juneeta and two years old Raunak. "Arjun, see how cute both our children are," she said hugging Juneeta from behind as she played. Arjun smiled. "Yes they are," he said and kissed Raunak who smiled at him. "By the way Arjun, mind if I say something?" she asked. "I won't, say," he said. "Arjun, you love these children as your own, but you don't have your own children, I am saying, why not think of the treatment of infertility again?" she asked and he nodded. "I was thinking the same but, now its not needed, I have two children, and it's a big deal for me, I thought I could never become a father but now I am a father of two children, a girl and a boy, and I don't want anything else," he said. "Arjun, your parents are happy with these children but... I can sense the emptiness in them, they want your child, your own child, they want your own child as well," she said and he got thinking. "Preeta, I got tired with it previously, I don't want it to begin once more," he said.

She looked on. "And besides what's wrong with them? See, when you were pregnant, we were discussing that I would give my name to Juneeta, and some days later only I got Raunak, then Juneeta was born, Preeta they are my own children only, see they would call me only as papa, not someone else. Plus, I won't leave them ever, my happiness dwells in them, they are my children and none can call me infertile now. Besides, I am over all the pain of the past, as I got you and our children, baby Raunak, and baby Juneeta," he said.

She looked away. "Oh I know what you want, pick Juneeta, and then let's go," he said and stood up and picked Raunak. "But where?" she asked. "To mom and dad, and let's get to know it from them only, come," he said and she picked Juneeta and they walked out with their children and proceeded to Sandhya and Gajendra's room and knocked over their door, they looked at them and smiled, they entered. The duo made the children sit on the bed and without wasting a nanosecond, Sandhya and Gajendra picked them and began to play with them.

Arjun smiled. "Preeta, ask what you wanted to," he said, she sighed. "Mom, dad, I was thinking that Arjun should begin with the infertility treatment once again, and have his own child as well," she said. "And mom, tell her Raunak and Juneeta are my children only, yes I know Raunak is Sonakshi's child, to be honest, I have no hard feelings for her now that she's no more, and about Juneeta, her father didn't ever want her, I accepted her, so then they are my children in true sense, explain her please," he said. "Arjun is right beta," Sandhya said.

"And if he himself doesn't wants it so then how can anyone force him?" Gajendra asked. "Mom, dad, I really want his child, am I wrong in asking this? Where Arjun is an adoptive father to Raunak and Juneeta, he does deserve to become biological father as well, the one who would resemble him, and would have his qualities, and everything else," she said. "His companionship can also bring all his qualities in these children Preeta," Sandhya said. "That's what she doesn't understand," he said. "Arjun, for once, at least get your sperm count checked, who knows you might have healed naturally by a miracle," she said.

"What are you saying? How's it possible?" he asked. "Don't you have faith in God? He can do everything, He does everything before you even ask for it, He has everything planned, but also that God helps those who helps themselves, who knows you might get to become a biological father soon? Can't you do this much for your own happiness?" she asked. "My happiness is in six of you. Mom, dad, Reema, you, Juneeta and Raunak," he said and hugged her. "Arjun, I have so many hopes about it, please," she said hugging him back.

"I had many lost hopes Preeta, but you only brought my hopes back, we have our children Preeta," he said. "You are adamant, that's it," she said and he chuckled and broke the hug. "Mom and dad are looking after our children and...," he said. "And?" she asked. "Its your birthday after two days, and I am going to buy something for you, but you also have to tell me your wish," he said. "I told you already, I want your child," she said and went from there. "Mom, what's happening?" he asked. "Now you can't say no for it if it's her birthday wish," Sandhya said smilingly.
