When Mr. Singh, Kirana, and Yusuf learned the truth, they were plunged into a state of disbelief. Mrs. Singh had always presented herself as so gentle, so harmless. The story exploded across the news, fueled by Mr. Singh's prominence in the business world. The scandal sent shockwaves through his company, causing stock prices to plummet. đ
Amidst the chaos, Yugh discovered another devastating truth: Mrs. Singh was not his biological mother, but his adoptive one. Yet, she had never treated him differently from Yusuf, her birth son. This revelation added a layer of profound, complicated grief to his anguish. "But how can you forgive someone who took lives? Not one, but three, Zahra, her unborn child, and Zayan," he thought, the moral abyss of her actions impossible to reconcile with the love he once felt.
No one in the Singh family lifted a finger to secure her bail or freedom. Stricken with grief and shame, Yusuf, Yugh, and Mr. Singh retreated into a stunned silence. Kirana alone moved among them, a pillar of quiet support, trying to offer solace where none seemed possible. Even she struggled to reconcile the doting mother-in-law she knew with the cold-blooded murderer the evidence revealed. đ
Charged with criminal conspiracy, abetment, endangerment, and attempted murder, with the deaths treated as murder given the fatal outcome, the case proceeded swiftly. The evidence, including Yugh's damning video, was irrefutable. The court delivered its verdict: life imprisonment.
The news spread like wildfire, consuming the family's reputation. With his world in ruins, Yugh was unable to return to the studio. Understanding the immense pressure he was under, Anisa stepped up without hesitation, taking full responsibility for all operations at AZ Studio. She managed the workload with quiet efficiency, holding the professional front together while the personal foundations of those around her crumbled to dust. đ
