Chapter 14 - Truth Enables

"Yes, I'm listening Laksh."

"Baba, whatever I'm going to tell you now, I should have told you long back. But I was too afraid. I tried to hide behind the falsities. But...but in the end, I could not escape. I dug my own grave with my lies!"

Durgaprasad was confused by his words. "Beta, what are you saying?"

However, before Laksh could explain, a loud shout interrupted them.

"DURGAPRASAD!"

They both looked towards the door to find Parvati standing there. She looked angry, yet determined.

Hearing the loud shout, Annapurna and the rest of the family members rushed into the living room. Swara and Ragini arrived there as well.

Ragini gasped as she guessed why her grandmother was there. 'No! She promised. She promised she wouldn't tell the truth to Bade Papa. She...she can't!' Ragini rushed forward and held her grandmother's hand. "Dadi no. Please don't. You told me you wouldn't tell them about Laksh's truth." she whispered.

Parvati placed her hand on Ragini's. "I won't back down from my promise Ladoo. I won't tell about Laksh. But I won't sit here knowing that you will never be the daughter-in-law of this house." Parvati whispered back. 'I want to see you happy with someone who values you Ladoo. And I can't find the perfect groom for you unless I clear to Durgaprasad that this marriage between Laksh and you is null and void!'

"Bu-"

"Shh! Let me handle this." Parvati moved past her and went to stand before Durgaprasad. "I came here to tell you something important."

Durgaprasad nodded. "Yes. What is it?" he asked sincerely. 'Everyone seems to have something to tell me today.'

"I wish to break Laksh and Ragini's marriage deal."

Durgaprasad's eyes widened at her words. Same was with Ram, Sujata and Parineeta. Annapurna and Adarsh weren't surprised. After all, they already knew it was bound to happen at some point.

Sanskar, on the other hand, felt excited. 'So she found out the truth, eh? I don't have any doubt that a big fight is about to break out.'

"What is this? Is this some prank? Parvati, I do not like such jokes

"What is this? Is this some prank? Parvati, I do not like such jokes." Durgprasad warned.

"It's no joke. I'm breaking their marriage deal. That's it."
