Haniska was so angry that so walked into the hall, screaming.   She saw that the wedding was over and she was not the bride.  Purab was carrying the bride in his arms, thinking she was Haniska.  

Haniska ran up to Purab and the girl, and uncovered her veil.  "Thapki, you!  How dare you!"  as she went to slap her.  Purab moved out the way.    Thapki looked angry at the situation.   Veena looked shocked at the events.  Just sat down, not knowing what to do.   Dadi and Vinod looked happy.    Purab put Thapki down on the chair besides Dadi.

"You didn't think I would have married you, did you?"  asked Purab smiling.

Anjali looked pale with worry.  She kept on trying to catch Haniska's eye but Haniska wasn't even looking at her.  Haniska was so angry that her plan failed.

"How dare you get married to Purab again"  yelled Haniska

"Actually, this time it was my plan not Thapki's"  stated Purab

Haniska shockingly looked at Purab.

"What!   It's checkmate!"  stated Purab

"Purab!  Why did you do this to me!"  yelled Haniska

"Haniska, I am one of the best businessman of this city.   I knew all of the games that you have planned since you came back.  But I didn't think you would have gone so far to hurt Sargum.  Sargum, you can come out."  yelled Purab

Sargum came out of one of the rooms, and everyone was surprised to see her.  Veena went towards, wanting to give her a hug, when Sargum stopped her, "No Mom.  Don't even come close."  

"Why Beta!"  cried Veena

"You are the reason!  You are the reason that we had to take this step! You and Haniska got Bhai divorced from Bhabi"  stated Sargum.

"Why are you still supporting that disgusting girl"  yelled Veena

"Because she supported me when you didn't!  Heck, she is the reason I am alive today.  The day she found out about my pregnancy, I was trying to commit suicide.  You are supporting the person that was the reason I went to the hospital in the first place"

"What?"  stated Veena

"How do you like my surprise Hansika"  asked Purab

"Purab-" 

"Just like you, I can bribe a doctor.   You bribe the doctor in your fake injury, and so I can fake Sargum's coma."  stated Purab

"What!"  said everyone

"Yes, all this was a drama that I cooked up.   I knew that Mom would never believe us, in fact, anything to do with Thapki, she would reject without hearing.  So we had to do this drama.  But it was amazing how quick that you got my divorce organized with Thapki, and my wedding with Haniska.    Mom, did you think my life is a joke.   You sure showed me my place in your life.  You don't care about me, just your image.    If you cared, you would have known that I love Thapki."  stated Purab

"Purab, I am your mom.  I understand you well.  Thapki is just a phase."  stated Veena, not believing that she could be wrong.

"Mom, do you know that Jaya Ma understands me better that my own mother.   My mother's ego is more important than my happiness!"

"Purab!"  cried Veena

"Yes, Mom.  If you cared, you would be asking how Haniska is standing, walking and running into this hall, when she is supposedly parallzed.   Why I had faked Sargum's coma."  asked Purab

"Purab, tell us."  stated Vinod

"Dad, I suspected that Sargum was the one pregnant.  I had asked Thapki, after the puja.  She told me the truth.    But she also told me the issues she was having with Haniska.  I didn't believe her at first, but when we went thru the issues, it seemed possible.    And then there was the puja, where at one point, when she was sitting beside me, but it seemed that it wasn't Thapki.  I couldn't feel her.    Thapki mentioned that she was kidnapped at the time.  Then I realized how dangerous Haniska was becoming.  I knew she was playing her games, and I let her, cause I wanted to know what her plan was."

Haniska looked pale with fear as she slowly walked towards her mother.

"Do you know that Thapki is the one that sang at the concert in which she took credit for.  Also, her accident was fake."

Veena looked up in shock.  "What?  Then why didn't Thapki say anything?"  

"How many times did Thapki come near you, and you ignored her or you cursed her"  asked Purab.

"Now do want to know, who was the reason your past came into the media?  It was Haniska, she switched the cds?"   stated Purab

"What?"  whispered Veena

"Yes, I finally looked at the CTV of the press conference.  Saw her switching the CD"  stated Purab

Haniska and Anjali started to walk out of the hall.  "Not one step Haniska"  yelled Purab

Haniska and Anjali stopped and turned around.  They knew that their game was up.

"So Anjali auntie, Uncle Mukuk knew about the wedding and was so happy.    So we call Mukul over.  And he didn't seem to be very happy with you two!"  Sargum said happily.

"What? And what I hear, I am not happy about!   You two schemed to ruin Thapki's marriage!  If I had know that was the reason, you were living in Veena's house, I would have never let you live here,  and Anjali threats of leaving me, would have been a done deal."  said Mukul angrily.

"Mukul"  said Anjali

"Thapki is my daughter!  And you tried to destroy her life!  I won't tolerate it!  Both of you will be kicked out with out any support from me!  And how do you think will be able to support yourselves.   Thapki won't be singing for you!"

"You can take them now!  If I see them again, I will call the police.  We have all the evidence we need."  stated Purab

Mukul grabbed Anjali and Haniska and dragged them out.

Thapki quietly got up and started to leave.  "Thapki, where do you think you are going?"  asked Purab

"I am going home, Purab.  Ma will be worried"  stated Thapki

"Why will you go home.  When this is your home.  You are my wife again."  stated Purab

"It wasn't real.  This was all fake.  You divorced me!"  cried Thapki

"Actually, the wedding, prayers, pheras, mangalsutra and sindoor.  Its all real.  We got married again."  stated Purab smiling.

"Are you crazy!  Your mother hates me! She will never give us her blessing!  Why would you do that!  We didn't have any rituals, blessings or nothing with the first marriage, and now the same with the second.   Its gonna have the same end.  Something will happen, you won't believe me and then you kick me out of your life"  stated Thapki

"Bhabi, I promise it won't happen"  stated Sargum

"Thapki, I promise it won't happen"  said Purab

"If you are worried, than we will get everything done:  the puja, the engagement, the rituals, the wedding.  Everything.  We will make sure everything is right"  stated Dadi.

"And this time, it will be with the correct person"  stated Vinod.
