No One's POV

Anika gives a death glare to Pinky who immediately gets scared.

Pinky (scared) - Ani...Anika..bet...beta... I will just take shower and come...

Anika (glaring at her) - Be quick... and want you here in 10 minutes or I will come to the guest room...

Pinky walks away quickly being scared and frightened looking at her innocent daughter-in-law turning into the dabbang Anika as Gauri would say. Pinky is starting to feel afraid that her position in the house as well as in Shivay's life would change... she wouldn't be so important and that's why she wants to remove Anika. Meanwhile, as soon as Bhavya reaches Ruvya's room sorry now Rumya's room, she sees Rudra sleeping peacefully on the bed. Smiling in his sleep. She goes up to him and before she could kick him to wake up, Saumya comes and pulls her out of the room forcefully and slaps her right across her face, making her cheeks go red.

Saumya (angry) - I said nothing when you kicked me across my face... as I was protecting this family ... but right now I am protecting no one... what kind of wife do you claim yourself to be? Who hits their husband? When you got married... you took vows... to trust each other... to support each other... to not abuse each other... what did he do? All he was doing was sleeping... Why would you want to hit him?

Bhavya (angry) - You bi**ch don't teach me about vows and cr*p... I can do anything with my husband, who are you to stop me?

Saumya (angry) - I am your sister... and also your husband lawful wife... while you are a sl*t... though Rudra has hurt me both physically and mentally, I have never... NEVER hit him... I haven't been taught that from my parents... now listen you bit*h... stay away from my husband and let him live in peace or it won't be good...

Bhavya (angry) - The person you are claiming as a husband... doesn't even accept you as a wife... he agreed to make a stranger his fake wife... and even stay in his room ... but you... (evil laugh)... you and him were best friends... and were married as well... why didn't he let you stay in his room...why didn't he accept you... Saumya just accept the fact that he loves me and not you... you ... you are nothing to him...

Saumya who was clearly hurt by Bhavya's statement wanted to say something, wanted to shout at her... but she knew that what Bhavya was saying was true... she isn't his wife...he never accepted her... Saumya was on the verge of crying but Anika who heard everything came and slapped Bhavya right across her face, making the cheeks that weren't red, now red.

Anika (angry) - Don't talk to my sister like that... let me show you the reality Bhavya, you claimed that Rudra doesn't love Saumya right..., yes, he doesn't love Saumya... but guess what, he doesn't deserve her love... nor does Saumya deserve his... Saumya is too good for your stupid husband... she knows the true meaning of marriage and family... she did everything in her power to stop this family from being ruined due to you and your sisters... unlike Rudra who never... never thought that she could do such a sacrifice for him.. He never trusted her... After kicking you out of Rudra's life and this family... Saumya will finally get something that she deserves which is respect from the family.... Saumya isn't forcing Rudra to accept her... she is simply now showing you who has more rights... she is finally standing up to Rudra... you are nothing compared to Saumya... NOTHING! She has gone through so much to reach this state of standing in front of you and ordering you... to become rich...while you... all you did was marry an Oberoi.. Before I kill you ... leave to get a shower! In 10 minutes I want you down.

Bhavya leaves with anger but also smirking to see Saumya so weak, she knew she hurt her. Saumya immediately runs to her (Rudra's) room. Anika who knew she needs time leaves her to go towards Shivika's room. Rudra who was pretending to be asleep and heard everything runs up to Saumya and hugs her to calm her down. Somewhere in his heart, he felt hurt...he lets Saumya just cry oh his shoulders, not judging her... he knew that he has hurt Saumya a lot and that Saumya is a strong weak, she will give a strong response to Bhavya as soon as she is well. Saumya soon realises what she is doing and pushes Rudra softly away from her.

Saumya (unaffected) - Don't show me your fake sympathy

Rudra (hurt) - Saumya... I was genuinely trying to help you... I am not...

Saumya (cold) - If you can fake friendship... then why can't you fake sympathy?

Saumya then leaves quietly towards the bathroom.

Precap - Bhavya gets tortured
