Everyone's gaze was still fixed on the stranger, his foreign features and American accent making him stand out in the crowded hall. Frank moved closer, his eyes locked on Samara.
"I'm sorry to interrupt this wedding, but it cannot hold," he announced, his voice firm and authoritative.
The room erupted into shocked gasps and murmurs. Karan's eyes narrowed, his face incredulous.
"What are you talking about? Who are you?" he demanded.
Samara's eyes were wide with fear, her hands trembling as she clutched her dupatta. Frank's gaze never wavered from hers
"My name is Frank Nicholas, and I'm from the US. I'm the father of the child Samara is carrying."
The room fell silent, with shocked whispers spreading like wildfire. Grandma Viti's eyes were wide with horror.
"What?" she exclaimed, her voice trembling.
"It's true. I'm not here to cause trouble, but to claim what's mine. I won't let another man father my child when I'm still alive."
Samara's face crumpled, tears streaming down her cheeks as she denied Frank's claims. "No, no,"
"is that true? Is he the father of your child?". Karan asked, his voice shaking.
"No, no, that's not true! He's lying!" she sobbed.
But Frank was unfazed "I am saying the truth, we have been together for years now, I have evidence with me" He said, producing his phone to show photos of him and Samara together.
The room was filled with shocked gasps and murmurs.
"How could you?" Grandma Viti thundered, her eyes blazing with anger.
She fell to her knees, pleading with Karan. "Please Karan, listen to me, I am sorry, I love you and I want to marry you, please," she begged, her voice shaking with desperation.
Karan's face was a mask of heartbreak, his eyes filled with tears. He stood up, turning his back on Samara, and walked away. Samara's cries echoed through the hall.
"Karan!!!"
Zara's eyes flashed with anger. "You are heartless," she spat, her voice venomous.
Samara face contorted in rage as she rushed towards Frank, her hands flailing wildly. "You!" she screamed, pounding her fists against his chest. "How dare you! You ruined my life! I hate you! I hate you!" she sobbed, her body shaking with anguish.
Her parents, frozen in shock, couldn't muster a word. They stood there, helpless, as their daughter's world crumbled around her.
Just then, the lights in the hall flickered and died, plunging everyone into darkness. The sudden blackout was followed by the glow of the TVs, which sprang to life, capturing everyone's attention.
The screens displayed a recording, taken on Maya's phone, and the room watched in stunned silence as the events of the previous night unfolded before their eyes.
Gasps and shocked murmurs filled the air as the truth about Kiara and Sonia's scheme was revealed. The recording showed them sneaking into Arya's room, carrying her to Ved's room, and setting them up.
Ved's eyes widened in shock. "What?" he exclaimed, his voice echoing through the hall.
As the lights flickered back to life, the room turned to face Kiara and Sonia, who stood frozen, their faces etched with guilt.
"You two tried to set up Arya and Ved?"Jash's voice thundered through the hall.
Kiara and Sonia crumpled to their knees, begging for forgiveness as the room erupted into chaos.
Meanwhile, Karan stumbled into the garden, overcome with emotion. He sobbed uncontrollably, his eyes red and puffy from crying. He stared up at the shining stars, feeling lost and alone.
Arya rushed into the garden, her face filled with sadness. She had been unable to bear the pain inside the house and had come to clear her head. Instead, she found Karan in a state of distress.
She approached him cautiously, calling out his name. "Karan."
Karan turned to her, his eyes welling up with tears. But before Arya could react, Karan rushed to her and pulled her into a tight hug, sobbing uncontrollably.
Arya was caught off guard, but she hugged him back, trying to offer what little comfort she could. She patted his back, trying to ease his pain.
Unseen by the pair, Rohan watched from a distance, a sad expression on his face. He had come looking for Arya when she ran out of the house, and now he was witness to Karan's breakdown.
As he watched, Rohan's mind flashed back to the confession Karan had made at the pub. He sighed sadly, realizing that Karan's feelings for Arya went far deeper than he had ever imagined.
With a heavy heart, Rohan turned and walked away, leaving Karan and Arya alone in the garden.
Some hours later, after the chaos had died down, Samara left the house with her family, their faces etched with shame. Frank, accompanied them, his face unrepentant.
The rest of the family, including Grandma Viti, scolded Kiara and Sonia for their evil intentions towards Arya. Gian, his wife, and Sai were also left to face the consequences of their actions, and they all regretted their decisions.
As the reality of the situation sank in, the family's shame and guilt grew. The invited guests began to leave, and the priest packed up his belongings and departed, the wedding officially cancelled.
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
Two days later, Karan was still reeling from the heartbreak. He had refused to come out of his room, unable to bear the shame and disappointment.
Downstairs, the rest of the family was trying to come to terms with their own actions. Gian, his wife, and Sai were all sitting at the breakfast table, looking moody and regretful. They had all been ignored by the rest of the family, who were still reeling from the shock of their betrayal.
Roshni stood up, carrying a tray of breakfast to Karan's room. She opened the door to find Karan seated on the bed, looking dejected and heartbroken.
"Son," she said, placing the food on the table and sitting down beside him. "Please, Karan, eat something. You've refused to eat for days now." He ignored her, his eyes fixed on the floor. Roshni tried again, "Please, son, for my sake. Everyone is worried about you."
"I'm not hungry," Karan replied, his voice flat.
"That's what you said yesterday, and now you're repeating the same thing."Roshni sighed,
Just then, Grandma Viti entered the room, carrying a glass of warm milk.
"Here, I brought you some milk," she said, sitting down on the other side of Karan.
Karan turned his face away, "I don't want to, Grandma."
"You do, it's your favorite. Please, son, drink for my sake. Stop torturing yourself for what happened."
"None of this is your fault."Roshni added.
But Karan was consumed by regret, "But it's too late to turn back. I lost everything. I failed."
Jash, Zara, Maya, and Ved entered the room, trying to offer their support.
"No, son, you're not a failure," Jash said.
"We're here for you, and we'll stand by you."Ved added.
"It's never too late to start again."Maya smiled.
The family's words of encouragement slowly began to sink in, and Karan finally began to eat. A small smile crept onto his face, and the family breathed a collective sigh of relief.
___________////__________////___
A month had passed since the dramatic events that had unfolded, and the family was finally back to normal. Gian, his wife, and Sai had been welcomed back into the fold after they had learned their lesson and apologized to Arya for their betrayal.
Arya, with her kind heart, had forgiven them without hesitation. Now, the family had gathered at her house for a new celebration - her engagement to Rohan.
The living room was filled with the sound of laughter and chatter as everyone waited for the ceremony to begin. Karan was present, a smile on his face as he watched Arya and Rohan together.
Rohan, dressed in a elegant suit, stood nervously beside Arya, who looked stunning in a traditional Indian outfit. The priest, who had been summoned to perform the engagement ceremony, smiled at the couple.
"Please, let us begin," he said, his voice warm and soothing.
Arya and Rohan exchanged a nervous glance before the priest started the ceremony. Karan watched, a mix of emotions on his face. He was happy for Arya, but a part of him still felt a pang of sadness.
As the ceremony progressed, Arya took the ring and slid it onto Rohan's finger, hee face beaming with happiness. Rohan, in turn, picked up the ring, his eyes locked on Arya's, and was about to slip it onto her finger.
But suddenly, his expression changed. He recalled the confession Karan had made at the pub, about his feelings for Arya. Rohan's eyes flickered to Karan, who was sitting in the back, a forced smile on his face. But Rohan saw beyond the smile, he saw the sadness and longing in Karan's eyes.
Rohan's gaze lingered on Karan for a moment, before he turned back to Arya. He sighed, his eyes locking onto hers.
"I...I am sorry, Arya," he said and stood up, the ring still clutched in his hand, and began to walk away. Arya's eyes widened in shock, her face pale.
The room fell silent, everyone wondering what was happening. He kept walking, leaving everyone in a state of confusion and shock.
