Author's p.o.v

Pari is crying and asking only one thing," What my father had done to you?Huh! Why did you kill him? What more I should do for your satisfaction? What enmity you have with my father that you killed him?"

Asking all this, Pari started punching on Raakshas's chest. She is devastated by the news of her father's death.

Raakshas said holding her shoulder," Listen to me, Pari. Just look at me."

" What will you say? After ruining my whole family what do you want to say? Pari said crying non-stop.

Raakshas is trying his hard to console Pari but her crying isn't stopping. She is sobbing continuously for her father.

Suddenly, Raakshas said loudly shaking her shoulder," Your father is alive. Did you hear me? He is safe and sound."

Pari stopped her crying and looked at him widening her eyes. She blinked her eyes a few times staring at his face. She couldn't believe her ears.

She again punched on Raakshas's chest and asked him hiccuping," you are lying! You killed my father. You murderer."

" He is alive. Let me show you," Raakahas said barking on Pari's face and she stopped her hiccuping.

Raakshas took her to their bedroom and closed the door. He called Imran via video call and said," Imran, where is Manish Chauhan? Show me."

Imran turned the camera to Manish's direction and Raakshas gave the phone to Pari's hand. Pari looked at the screen and found that her father is lying on a white bed and sleeping. Various types of medical equipment are attached to her father's body.

Pari touched the screen and uttered crying," Papa!"

She looked at Raakshas and asked him panicking," What happened to him? Why is he lying on the bed like that? What have you done to him?"

" I will tell you everything. First, tell me, now you believe that your father is alive? Raakshas asked.

Pari said wiping her tears," Yeah, I believe that. But, you have to tell me why my father's condition is like that. What happened to him? What have you done to him?"

After that, Raakshas told Pari about the tortures which he and his men has given Manish. Raakshas accepted his every wrongdoings towards Manish truthfully.

Hearing him, Pari lost her control and yelled loudly," My father said no to you about your marriage proposal. That's why you did all this to him. Right? Your ego got hurt and you did all this inhuman acts with him. How can you be so cruel! You are not a human. People are right. You are a demon. A monster."

Saying all this, Pari fell on the nearby couch and started crying badly. Her hurt is burning for her father.

Raakshas sighed and said," It's your misconception that I tortured your father just because he has rejected me. Yes, I wanted to take revenge on him but not like that. There is another reason behind all this."

" I don't believe you. You did all this to take revenge on my family," Pari replied sobbing.

This time Raakshas bent down to Pari's level and said cupping her face," You know that I never lie. Let me tell you everything."

Pari just glared at him but said nothing. But, her subconscious is telling her to listen to him and trust him.

Raakshas started saying," On 22nd November Ayat & Afreen went to shopping with her friends. My sisters just wanted to spend some time with their friends. That's why they didn't take bodyguards with them. My sisters didn't know what kind of mistake they had done without taking the guards."

" What do you mean? What's your sisters connection with my father? Pari asked impatiently and remembered Ibrahim Khalid who were accusing her father for some sins.

Raakshas replied," Let me finish. That day my sisters were kidnapped by 6 people. Those 6 people raped them and tortured them brutally. They threw my sisters on the street like trash. My sisters  were taken to the hospital in very bad condition."

Pari's eyes became big like saucers hearing him. She couldn't believe someone dared to harm Ibrahim Khalid's daughters. After few days of her staying in India she already understood about Ibrahim Khalid and Raakshas's power.

Raakshas continued," When I asked my sisters about the culprits description they said that all of them were wearing masks except one. I told them to tell me about that one person's face description. According to their description I made a portrait of that person. I became shocked when the portrait matched with your father. I couldn't believe my eyes."

"My father can't do all this. There is some kind of misconception," Pari said defending her father. She can't believe that her father can do this type of heinous crime.

Raakshas said assuring her," I also couldn't believe. Still every evidence were against your father that's why we have to take him in our clutch and tortured him to confess his crime. It was the reason that Sarkar misbehaved with you."

Raakshas took a breath and again continued," I was still hoping that your father is innocent. But, everything became messed up when the DNA report came. Your father's DNA matched with one of the rapists sample."

" its impossible. My father can't do all this. You were mistaken," Pari yelled loudly. She has full faith on her father that he is innocent. But, this DNA thing is confusing for her.

After that, Raakshas told her about that duplicate person who looked like Manish and his attack on Raakshas. He also told her about the scar. Then, Raakshas told her that her father wasn't in the city on 22nd November. He went to do some work in another city with constable Arjun indicating Manish wasn't involved in that rape incident."

The more Pari is hearing, the more she is becoming shocked. Every new information is landing in her brain like bombs.

Raakshas continued his saying,"I started thinking about all this and trying hard to solve this puzzle. To solve this I went to meet that doctor who checked the DNA sample. I asked him that is it possible to have the same DNA on two different person? The doctor became surprised by hearing me. He informed me that it's not possible because DNA is something which is unique in every person. It's different in every individual. After hearing the doctor I became more confused. I wasn't understanding who was that person who attacked on me and raped Ayat & Afreen. Because your father was already proven innocent in front of my eyes."

Pari isn't understanding what she should say. But, she is a little bit relaxed thinking that her father isn't guilty anymore in Raakshas's eyes.

Pari tried to ask something when Raakshas said," After two days when I was still in the puzzle that doctor again called me and informed me something which I had heard for the first time in my life. The doctor informed me that two different people can have the same DNA if they are identical twins. Otherwise, it's not possible. Learning about this identical twin fact I became dumbfounded. I have never imagined anything like that."

Pari became dumbfounded hearing this. She knew about identical twin as she is a doctor. But, she can't believe that her father can have a identical twin brother. Because her father was the only child of her grandparents.

Pari uttered with too much shock," Identical twin of my father! How it can possible? As per I remember he had no brother."

" That's why I started searching about your father's background. I told my investigators to give me all the information about Manish. After searching for some days I came to know about everything. Do you know that your father isn't the real son of your grandparents? He was adopted," Raakshas said and Pari felt like someone has thrown her into cold water. She never knew about all this. She couldn't believe that there are so many secrets about her father.

Pari is still looking at Raakshas having her dumbfounded expression when Raakshas continued," Your father was an orphan. He was living with his identical twin brother in an orphanage. Your father was just 4 years old when your grandparents adopted him. But, they didn't adopt your father's twin. That's why your whole family didn't know anything about that twin brother of your father. Your father was adopted at an early age. Most probably he also doesn't know about this twin brother fact.

I collected all this information with great difficulty. I have to put too much money and time just to know the truth."

" So, you are telling that my father's twin did all this? But, why he did all this? Did you catch him? Was it all coincidence or that twin brother wanted to frame my father? Pari asked having an incomprehensible expression on her face. She couldn't accept the truth that her father was tortured without any reason.
