The Greatest Betrayal....

She had already made up her mind...

The day she found a job, she would leave this house forever.

She no longer wanted to live as a burden in anyone's eyes.

Holding back her tears, Avni walked into the kitchen.

The moment Dai Maa noticed her tear-filled eyes and the redness on her cheek, anger instantly flashed across her face.

She asked in a furious voice,

"Did those two witches say something to you again? And... did that elder witch slap you?"

Avni didn't answer.

She quietly continued preparing breakfast before speaking in a soft voice,

"Dai Maa... my results will be announced today. After that, I'll find a job... and leave this house forever."

The moment Dai Maa heard those words, her hands froze.

She looked at Avni in shock.

"But why, my child?" Her voice trembled. "This is your home. You don't have to go anywhere. The ones who should leave are those two witches who have destroyed the peace of this house."

Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on Avni's lips, but it disappeared almost instantly.

In a quiet voice, she said,

"Oh, Dai Maa... Dad hates me. Mom Somita and Kayra don't like me either. Then who do I have in this house? For whose sake should I stay here?"

With those words, she stepped forward and hugged Dai Maa tightly.

Her voice trembled as she whispered,

"I... I'm nothing but a burden to everyone in this house... especially to Dad."

Dai Maa immediately pulled her back and gently wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks.

Looking into her eyes, she said firmly,

"Never say such a thing again, my child. A daughter is never a burden to her family... especially not to her father."

She lovingly stroked Avni's head.

"For every father, his daughter is his greatest pride."

Hearing those words, Avni's eyes filled with tears once again.

She wiped them away before saying softly,

"But, Dai Maa... I could never become the daughter Dad could be proud of. That's why I want to leave this place and build an identity of my own... so that one day, he'll finally be proud of me."

For the first time, alongside the pain in her eyes, there was an unshakable determination.

Dai Maa let out a deep sigh.

She understood that no one could change Avni's decision now.

With a gentle smile, she said,

"Alright, my child. When you find a job, do whatever you think is best. But for now, don't burden your heart with these thoughts."

She affectionately stroked Avni's head.

"First, have your breakfast and get ready quickly. Your results are going to be announced today."

Avni tried to smile at her words.

She quickly served breakfast for everyone, ate a little herself, and then returned to her room.

After changing into fresh clothes, she quietly slipped out through the back entrance of the mansion...

So that Somita wouldn't see her...

And once again stop her from witnessing one of the most important moments of her life.

A short while later...

Avni arrived at a small cyber café in the city.

After entering, she paid the f*e at the counter and took a seat in front of an available computer.

Taking a deep breath, she switched on the system and opened her college's official result website.

With slightly trembling fingers, she entered her roll number and date of birth before clicking on the "Submit" button.

As the page slowly began to load, her heartbeat grew faster with every passing second.

Her eyes remained fixed on the screen.

Finally...

A few moments later, the result appeared.

98.44%

The moment Avni saw her score, her eyes widened with excitement.

Unable to control herself, she jumped up in happiness.

"I... I topped!"

Everyone present in the café turned to look at her.

Some even smiled, seeing how overjoyed she was.

Her eyes sparkled with tears of happiness.

It was one of the greatest achievements of her life.

After calming herself down, she hurried to the café owner, got a printed copy of her result, paid for it, and walked out with a bright smile on her face.

Avni didn't own a mobile phone.

So, the very first person she wanted to share the good news with was her boyfriend, Kabir.

She loved him deeply...

And she wanted him to be the first to know about her success.

She hailed an auto-rickshaw and left for Kabir's house.

Some time later, the auto stopped outside Kabir's private residence.

After paying the fare, Avni quickly got out.

Seeing that the main door of the house was already open, a smile naturally spread across her lips.

"Looks like Kabir is home..."

Thinking that, she quietly stepped inside.

Her footsteps were soft and careful.

She slowly made her way toward Kabir's room...

Because she wanted to surprise him with the happiest news of her life.

Just as Avni reached Kabir's room, her footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

The bedroom door wasn't completely closed. It was slightly ajar.

From inside the room, she heard the sound of soft laughter.

The very next moment...

She heard the unmistakable sound of two people kissing.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Her entire body went cold, and an inexplicable sense of dread settled deep within her.

With trembling hands, she slowly pushed the door open.

And the moment her eyes fell on the scene before her...

She froze.

Inside the room, Kabir and Kayra were locked in each other's arms.

They were passionately kissing each other, completely lost in the moment, as if the rest of the world no longer existed.

The copy of her result in Avni's hand began to tremble.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

The man she had loved with all her heart...

And the stepsister she had always considered family...

Were shattering her trust right before her eyes.

Just then, Kabir noticed Avni standing at the doorway.

The color drained from his face.

He immediately pulled away from Kayra and hurried toward Avni in panic.

"Avni... please listen to me! It's not what you're thinking..."

But Avni couldn't hear a single word.

Her world had already fallen apart the moment she saw them together.
