"Enough, enough! Don"t goof around. Let"s take her in." Aditya who got p.i.s.sed off seeing them flirting in front of him decided to bring them in. It was a great blow to his single heart.Shiv chuckled and dragged Ira into the small cave with his hand still placed on her waist under Aditya"s watchful eyes.
Aditya sneered at him and decided to walk ahead so that he could avoid such shameless behavior.
Ira on the other hand was muddled with the thought of his whisper near her ear. Her brain was so caught up on their unusual closeness that she didn"t hear the single word that came out of his mouth.
Shiv finally released her from his hold.
"Here we are..."
Ira looked a little confused and looked at him with disbelief.
"Lady Ira... You finally came..."
Lady Mia"s voice broke the silence in the air.
"Mother." Aditya called out as he went near her.
"Mother?" Ira looked puzzled as she stared at Shiv.
"Oh.. You didn"t know right... Aditya and Aarav are Lady Mia"s children."
Hearing his simple explanation, Ira couldn"t say anything more but to nod her head in agreement.
Shiv stared at Lady Mia as he spoke seriously.
"Lady Mia, the thing which you speak in here will never get out. So, rest a.s.sured and say them all the things that had been eating you up for all these years."
She simply nodded her head and thanked him for his understanding.
"My child... I hope you could listen to everything that I am going to say calmly... But I would never blame you, if you came to hate... I never thought, a day would come, where I would be able to meet you..."
Ira looked puzzled. But she still continued to listen to what Lady Mia was saying. Aditya and Aarav were equally confused with their mother"s reaction.
"Lady Mia... What do you mean?"
"Ira... my child... have you heard about your parents deaths...?"
"Yes.. My brother told me like they were killed unfairly. He never told me anything more than that..."
"Indeed they died an unfair death! And to think that I was the cause for their death.... Ah!" Lady Mia broke down in tears and wailed sorrowfully.
Aarav and Aditya stood frozen in their place. Ira on the other hand panicked seeing her cry like that.
Shiv helped Lady Mia and held her up. He made her sit on a stone and patted her shoulders gently.
Lady Mia calmed herself down and continued to speak.
"Ira... your mother was killed by the humans for welcoming a demon as a brother-in-law and your father was betrayed by the humans and was sent to the demon territory as an offering... And all of these happened because I fell in love and married a demon... Your mother is my twin sister."
Dead silence fell across the entire cave. The sound of the birds and crickets were predominant.
Everyone fell silent. Ira cleared her throat as she approached Lady Mia. She went on her knees and spoke to her softly.
"Lady Mia... Are you telling me that you are my aunt...?"
Lady Mia with a sorrowful expression on her face nodded her head lightly.
Ira stood up and slapped her cheeks twice.
"Could you please tell me more about it? I will be calm and listen..."
Lady Mia with tears in her eyes nodded her head.
"I used to meet my sister and her family secretly from time to time.... Brother-in-law used to train your brother Virat heartlessly and sister often got into a fight with him for that. It all feels so nostalgic now that I think about them... Those were indeed the happiest moments of my life. Both my husband and my marital family accepted each other and I believed everything was going to be blissful until that day..."

"Capture those traitors! Burn them to death!" An army of men marched into the small yet humble town of Surasena, Veethi.
"Sister, sister take my kids and run away! Please take them to our clansmen. They will protect these kids."
Lady Mia carried the baby Ira in her arms as her husband held her brother Virat"s hand and took them away.
Shortly after their escape. Their mother was tied onto the pillar at the center of the town and was burnt down to death by the humans.
"This is the fate of those who dare to accept the demons into our race! Death shall befall all those who betray ! Hahaha!!"
After a long and hard travel, Lady Mia finally spotted the Varma"s and left the kids under their care.
The internal strife didn"t end with the death of their mother alone... The humans mislead their father to the demon and sold him as an offering to get back one of their territories...

"Virat who witnessed all of those happenings looked dead. He couldn"t even cry as his mind was completely filled with hatred. Even after all that those humans didn"t let you guys to live in peace. They constantly sought out to kill you both.
Virat who was flaming with rage as he saw his clansmen die one by one by their hands... totally lost his rationality and decided to take revenge.
But at that time... It was you who held him down. You, who was a new born baby tied down your brother in place. He decided to let go of his revenge and went into hiding to protect you and your clansmen..."
