At around 10 in the morning, Utkarsh came running through the corridor, not apologising to anyone he bumped into in the corridor ran to the entrance. He stopped and saw Urmila ma'am getting out of the car along with Sid. He smiled as he breathed hard. As they were about to enter into the building,

U - Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Utkarsh rushed as he shocked the Urmila ma'am and the teachers who stood to welcome her.

U (panting) - Not like this. Bhaiya!

He breathed heavily bending and holding his hands against his knee. The peon brought an arthi plate which surprised everyone. By then the students had also gathered around to see Urmila ma'am while Utkarsh started welcoming her with an arthi.

UMaam (teasing) - Iski kya zaroorat hai? You're acting like an old lady.
U - Kisiko toh karna padega.

Utkarsh smiled as put Tikka on her head and walked to Sid who raised his hair up. But Utkarsh gave it back to peon and stared at Sid who run his fingers across the hair to hide his embarrassment. Utkarsh hugged his mother tight and with happy tears,

U - I'm so happy you're back Maa. I missed you so much. Mujhe laga aapko kabhi dekhi nahi paa'oonga.

Utkarsh cried.

UMaam - It's okay, Utkarsh. Don't cry.

Urmila ma'am looked at Sid who stood looking awkward. Holding on to Utkarsh with one arm, she opened up her other arm calling Sid. An embarrassed Sid, bite into his lips, holding on to his tears hugged her.

S (crying) - I'm sorry, Mom.
UMaam - It's okay, Sid. I missed you both.

After an emotional reunion, Urmila ma'am walked into the school while Utkarsh and Sid stood back. Utkarsh stared at Sid and,

U (rude) - Maa hae. Isi liye maaf kardi. Par main, tumhe kabhi nahi maaf karoonga... Bhai.

Utkarsh walked in after using the word "Bhai" like a curse on Sid while left him hurt but he knew he deserved it.

As she walked in, the students stood in both sides of the corridor congrating her on her return. On behalf of the students, Vidurshi even gave her a flower bouquet. At the end of the line stood Siyali looking guilty,

Si (ashamed) - I'm sorry ma'am. I realized that the only reason I didn't get a knife of my heart is because someone pulled my leg... Thank you for saving me ma'am. And sorry mainey aap ko bohat hi galat samja.

Siyali said with bowed head. Urmila ma'am lifted up her head and hugged her which caused surprise among every person other than Sid. At the very moment, the peon walked in and,

Peon - Ma'am, Gautam Saab aaye hai.
UMaam - Tell him to come in.
Peon - Par woh aapko bahar bhularahe hai.

Urmila ma'am looked surprised as to why. She walked through the corridor and was almost near the entrance when through the gaps between students heads, she saw a man standing by a car. She let out a small laugh and,

UMaam (to herself) - Nikhil!?

She paced through the corridor, almost running and hugged Nikhil.

NR - Surprised?

The two of them smiled, standing and hugging each other. Meanwhile,

L (whispered) - Yeh Urmila Ma'am aaj kuch zyaada touchy nahi hai?

The gang stared at him.

L - It's an observation.

The students nodded their head in unison as it was exactly their thoughts,

KMaam - Urmila ji ko dekey sab ka mann bara? Ab sab, yahan sey jaa'eye.

Kamini ma'am opened both her arms and acted like pushing asking the students to disperse. From among the crowd, Vidyut peeped to get a look at the stranger in the school campus as familiarity stuck him but not enough to pinpoint the person.

As she turns to leave, Sid holds on to Siyali's hand,

S - Stay.

Utkarsh gave a sigh in disbelief and was about to leave when Sid held onto him with his other hand,

S - You too.

Urmila ma'am brought along Nikhil along with her and stood in front of the trio.

NR - Look at how much you've grown.

Nikhil touched Siyali's cheek with his hand which brought a frown onto Utkarsh's face. As he places his other hand on her cheek, Utkarsh was about to move away his hands away from Siyali when Sid stopped him and pushed Utkarsh's hand away and gestured with his eyes. Annoyed Utkarsh moved away from Sid and to Siyali's eyes.

NR - You've turned into a pretty young women.

Nikhil smiled and placed a kiss on Siyali's forehead due to which Siyali gave an awkward stare while Utkarsh gave a funny possessive expression,

Si (offended) - Excuse me, Sir.
NR - Sir nahi. Daada.
U, Si - Huh?

Siyali and Utkarsh widened their eyes,

UMaam - Siyali Rathore, Meet Nikhil Rathore. Your Father.
NR (emotional) - Sorry sweetheart. Daada took so long to come to you.

He said remembering the last time he saw his daughter,

[Flash back]
In 2001, A two year old Siyali stood with a frowned face, one hand holding onto her mother and other hand holding onto her dad who was kneeling in front of her,

NR - Sweetheart, don't look so sad. Just 5 days and you'll be right back into Daada's arms. Okay? Okay?

He tried to straighten the frown on her face after which she smiled. He placed a kiss on her forehead.

Si - Bye bye, Daada.

He waved his hand to his daughter and wife who walked into the airport leaving to India.
[Flashback ends]

As she saw Nikhil, Siyali's eyes started tearing up. But she wasn't the one to cry in front of people, so she held on to Utkarsh's hand, tight, stopping her tears from flowing from her eyes. She couldn't just rush into his arms, not after 15 years. He was just a stranger to her, like she was to him.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The two families settled down in the guest room as they started to discuss the story behind them,

[The story]

In 1990, outside the Indian airport, Shivani and Prathick stood bidding farewell to each other as Shivani was leaving to London. Why? Because the two friends had heard something they weren't supposed to hear. The conversation between Prathick's parents about getting Shivani and Prathick married to take over Shivani's wealth. Shivani belonged to a different Rajput family but her dying mother entrusted her guardianship to her best friend, Anwesha who was married to a different Rajput family. Disgusted by what they heard, Shivani decided to leave India and pursue her medial degree abroad, staying with a distant relative living in London.

"Not even going to say Bye?" Shivani asked as Prathick's girlfriend, Urmila didn't even look her in the face. "Why do you hate me so much?"

"Because you're school killed my brother" Urmila responded angrily

remembering how Anwesha has closed down her twin brother's death inside the campus without investigation for the sake of Warrior High's reputation which had directly or indirectly caused Urmila in losing her entire family.

Even after Shivani's many attempts into clearing the misunderstanding, Urmila hated her creating a rift between the two. Shivani left India, parting away from her friend who was the only family she knew all her life.

4 years later, as usual, Shivani had called Prathick and the call was answered by Urmila. And through Urmila, Shivani found out that Prathick and his parents had a big argument leading to his father disowing him and thus making him work as a salaried employee.

"Did this happen three months ago?" Shivani asked and got a positive answer from Urmila. She realized that she was the reason for the fight as she turned 21, three months ago and it was at the age of 21, the guardianship agreement ended. Not wanting to worry her, Prathick hadn't told her about his fight.

Shivani immediately came back to India and demanded her property documents from the Rajputs. During their argument she bravely spoke, "Aapney mujhe paal poskey bada kiya hai, aur iss liye main humesha grateful rahoongi. Par aapney bhi mere jaaydaath sey, kamatey rahe. So, Don't call me ungrateful.". "I need the money to start my life" she lied to get back her properties from Prathick's tyarant father and left the house after taking Anwesha's blessings.

She gave Prathick the power of attorney giving him power over all her assets. "I know you're too proud to take this from me. I'm not giving this to you. I'm just telling you to use them to start a business. Mere koi use nahi, par tumharey aa saktey hai." She convinced Prathick into borrowing her assets along with Warrior High. And with these, Prathick started up along with Urmila by his side. To stop his parents from ever blackmailing him into marriage with any other person, he married Urmila early.

To stay away from the Rajputs, Shivani left London and came to California, USA where she met Nikhil.

Seven years passed, Nikhil and Shivani got married and had a two year old daughter, Siyali and lived a loving and happy life. While Prathick and Urmila worked hard, side by side and build up a great business, from scratch and also had two sons, Two year old, Sid and one year old, Utkarsh. Due to Urmila's dislike towards Shivani, she never actually kept in touch with her and never saw her until when Prathick won the best businessman award that brought Shivani and her daughter to India.

"I heard the company's in the verge of bankruptcy" Shivani enquired regarding the Rajput group. "Haan. Mere badduaon ke wajase" Prathick joked while the Sid and Siyali played with Utkarsh as Urmila held onto him.

While the kind Shivani thought Prathick should help his family, Prathick thought otherwise. However, Shivani convinced him to meet his parents after which the two of them left the house one night to meet up with the Rajputs. On their way back, the two of them met with a severe car accident which caused their death.

During their meet with the Rajputs, Anwesha had identified that Prathick's business was fully linked to Shivani's wealth which Prathick's father used to his advantage. While the rest of the family was crying over their deaths, Prathick's father took his game one notch up and modified Shivani's guardianship agreement with Siyali's name on it, thus giving her the name "Siyali Rajput". He has also influed enough people into convincing Nikhil into believing that Siyali was also dead. With all the assets under him, Urmila and the kids having no where to go, came under the hold of the Rajput seniors.

Due to his hate for Shivani and for taking away Prathick away from him, Urmila and the kids were physically assaulted by Prathick's tyarant father. Even though Anwesha loved the kids, she didn't stop her husband from tormenting them.

Almost a year, she endured the pain helplessly until she finally got to reach out to Nikhil as didn't even bother to know his name due to her vengeance against Shivani. Even though, Nikhil was willing to support Urmila, Urmila wanted to stay back and fight for the company that Prathick and her build together with many dreams, for the future of their kids. She needed one of them to stay.

"Main aapkey saath rahoongi, Mama" Sid said "Main big boy hoon. Daadaji ki maar khaaloongi. Par baby ro'ega" he referred to Utkarsh as he didn't want his baby brother to suffer. Urmila teared up seeing her brave son and left the other two in the middle of the road, as a show, for Nikhil to pick them up.

Unfortunately, the riot broke and the kids went missing. When the family accused her of abandoning the kids, she fought back emotionally "Bhaag gaye honge, Dad. Aapki har din ki torture ki darr sey bhaag Gaye hongey" And when Anwesha pointed out her love for the kids, Urmila rebutted "Aapney toh sirf unki chot pe dawa lagaya hai. Agar sach mein pyaar karti toh unhe chot nahi aaney deyti". Urmila's emotional and angry talk brought in some sense into Anwesha who didn't want to lose her other grandson and hence, ensured their safety from her husband. While Nikhil and Urmila tried searching for their kids, their efforts went in vain.

Their Anger that they lost their kids because of the Rajputs turned into their need for revenge. And they started plotting. But due to high influence, the Rajputs had, it was essentially for them to raise to a position higher than the Rajputs and the two of them started working.

Seven year later, the control had come to Anwesha after the death of her husband. She was probably the lesser evil, but still evil. Habituated to her personality, she did good things but never stopped bad things from happening. And eventually, turned into someone just like her husband.

It was 2015, 13 years, it took for them to reach such status and their plan was ready to bring the Rajputs down. During their brief planning phase, they had come to knowledge of how Prathick's father started routing black money through Warrior High for himself and various influential people. This was continued by Anwesha. But as the people involved in the scam were big shots bringing them down wouldn't be easy as the cover up could be done in minutes. Along with other information, they devised a good plan.

Due to Urmila's depression, they had planned to postpone the plan. It was precisely at that time that, a Utkarsh and Siyali returned to Warrior High as teenagers. Her hate for Shivani along with the thought that Siyali brought Utkarsh back to Anwesha, back to danger, in her anger, she didn't inform Nikhil about her return until the day she saw Utkarsh cry for his mother, the frog.

Along with her information, Urmila also convinced Nikhil that he was their secret weapon and if he came out now, their entire plan would flop. They waited for the perfect moment while Urmila acted like she hated Siyali believing in her own twisted way that it would protect Siyali.

On farewell, Nikhil came into the school disgusting as one of the food caters and saw Siyali. That night, the two of them met in the resort after Urmila had stormed out of the school after her fight with Anwesha.

"Your son and my daughter are dating? That's so cute" Nikhil admired while Urmila was surprised "You don't speak like a girl's father" the two of them laughed. Now that Siyali was into the picture, they revised their good plan into a perfect plan in which Siyali had a big part to play.

As the fate went against them, it was the day Siyali gone missing and their focus shifted.

Unknown to them, The kidnappers had tried to assualt her instead of sticking with the plan to kill her, which gave her a small slot to escape from them. Even though, she had escape, she was caught by Anwesha's PA who was supposed to supervise the plan. He had took her to the clif and as an evidence, video called Anwesha to show that Siyali was in possession. "I'm sorry Siyali. But Family always comes first" Anwesha said looking at an unconscious Siyali through the phone referring to her business as Family and had also ordered Pradeep to kill the kidnappers over the disguist that they tried to assualt Siyali, after all Anwesha was the type to do the right after doing wrong. When Gautam had taken Siyali away, Pradeep, fearing Anwesha, lies to her that his mission, as in Siyali's death was accomplished.

Using technology, Nikhil traced the phone numbers present around the vicinity during Siyali's disapperance. Though, he couldn't identify the killer's number, he found out that one of the cellphones in the area was also found in the hospital around the time. Confirming that Siyali was alive and suspecting foul play (not accepting the fact that Siyali was kidnapped by poarchers for the reason that she was a girl present there), Nikhil ordered Urmila to close up the case so that Siyali would not be found and that they would get Siyali few days after the issue was settled.

Again, Fate played against them when Siyali came back as Shreya but fortunately, Anwesha was abroad and nowhere near her. Though, Nikhil was sure that it was his daughter, Urmila wasn't. And against his will, she did a DNA test, but not wanting to let go Nikhil's name used Prathick's name instead. Not wanting Anwesha to know that this was Siyali, she spread out a fake news that it came out negative.

Anwesha knowing Urmila's hate for Siyali and having no reason to protect her, believed that the report came out negative. And even if it was Siyali, Anwesha couldn't make another attempt inside the school as it would lead up to suspicion.

And this time, the vengeful duo tried to come up with a fool proof plan to bring down the Rajputs (Anwesha, being the one in control along with other Rajputs like distant relatives, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc). But they still needed a small spark to let start the fire. Unfortunately or Fortunately, Anwesha's attempt to frame Urmila became the spark which Gautam used to create fire.

Explanation:
The reason for wanting to have someone influential is that, these days we see a lot of cases on TV, news. Few days, or max weeks are they in coverage. Later, it's closed and the inner politics start, and Justice is not served all the time. Therefore, I felt that even though the broadcast got public attention, the party who is more influencial is the one who finally has the win and therefore it was important to bring in a charecter who was more influential and had a personal reason to work on it. And obviously, no one reaches high positions in a day. It takes effort and a lot of time, and hence the 14 year gap.

God knows if this made any sense? Did it? Hope it answers your questions and hope you're satisfied. And if not, sorry for making the story unconvincing. This is the best I could come up with. :)
