'No explanation will justify your actions.' Those words rang in her head before Arna ran out to search for Naira. Unfortunately, she didn't find her anywhere.

Having no idea the whole crew had their eyes on her, Arna checked and looked everywhere.

​​

The crew were smart to understand Arna was still against using her mother's design and they also knew what Naira was upto.

When a senior judge approached Arna to calm her down and explain to her that they were considering her first dress, Arna was panicked, she apologized and stressed that her design shouldn't be showcased.

"I am sorry, I know I made a mistake, I shouldn't have done it. My dress... No that's not my dress, it's momma's design, please stop Naira... Naira is my model, Please stop her from stepping on stage. I beg of you, please..."

The whole time she didn't let the senior designer speak and rushed away in search for Naira to stop her.

In the meantime, Naira, who got ready in Aria's design dress, heard the manager calling her to the side. She followed him and ended up in a room where a few judge panel members had dark expressions.

She was yet to put on an act, a resounding slap landed on her cheek. The tears trickled down her cheeks and was ready to lash out, her eyes landed on the supermodel who was in Arna's dress.

The dress was rearranged to fit her size and the dress looked amazing on the model that Naira failed to take off her gaze.

Before she could recollect herself, another slap landed on another side of her cheek and heard an announcement by an old man, "This girl is blocked from our field. Designing or being a model, she isn't allowed to step in anywhere."

One Naira wanted to be tarnished, got a title of innocent and victim and she became the witch. To avoid Naira creating some more problems for Arna, those judges had locked her in the room and the program started.

Arna heard the emcee announce her design dress stepping on the ramp, Instead of checking it out, she ran away to the suite which was reserved by her parents and huddled in a corner and her thoughts ran wild thinking of every possibility.

It took another half hour when she heard the door open, she heard Naira screaming and crying. So she stepped out of the bathroom to see Naira's swollen cheeks.

She again started crying assuming the judges caught their cheating, "I am sorry, I am sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I left you alone to bear their wrath. I am sorry..."

Naira didn't reveal that Arna won the competition and her father was taking the award on her behalf while Aria was searching for her in the whole hotel.

Naira was afraid of getting caught to Arna and her parents, with that she was jealous that Arna won despite all the trouble she caused.

"Snow, I am sorry, I lied to you. I hadn't asked your mother permission because I was worried about you. Your mother- she hit me and searched for you. She is very furious. What are you going to do? You know your father never tolerates anything against your mother. They might throw you out of the house. What should we do? What are you going to do? Arsh will hate you. Ivan will never love you if he gets to know this. Nobody would like to be with you..."

She went on with her long speech. She didn't stop even when Arna paled white as sheet and was crying nonstop.

They heard a knock on the door followed by Aria's voice, "Naira, is Snow in there?"

Naira was quick to catch Snow who wanted to rush to her mother. "What are you doing? If your mother can hit me like this, imagine what she will do to you. They will abandon you..."

Indoctrinating the second time, she hid Arna in the bathroom and attended Aria and lied on her face. "Aunt Aria, Snow went to the mall Ziron, I came to change dress and go to her."

Aria didn't doubt her "This girl, shouldn't she tell us?" Aria, who had run around everywhere was panting.

Alan who heard it, hissed in annoyance holding his wife, "What's wrong with Snow? Doesn't she know we will be worried about her disappearance. Go with Nathan and bring her back."

Alan took Aria away and Naira totally manipulated Alan's words to Arna, "I somehow managed as you aren't here. Did you hear how angry your father was? "

Arna sniffled as said, "Did Momma really hit you? She would never do that." Her mother never raised her hand even when she had thrown the knife at her brother and her mother got hurt instead.

It was evident Arna didn't really trust anything against her mother but Naira burst into tears, "Do you think I will lie to you? I was worried about you and you are doubting me."

Naira should have been in entertainment industry, she easily fooled Arna, "Now my father will throw me out of the house. At least I can go to grandfather's home, who do you have? Nobody will dare to go against your mother, do you think Uncle Finn will listen to you? He is more uptight than Aunt Aria. All will loathe you..."

Naira made sure to sound that everyone will look down on Arna and she will be on the roads. She might have to live alone with maids or in the orphanage.

"You- You were planning to go to the states for model training right? Why don't you go there? Your parents will be proud that you will stand on your legs from a young age. Just run away from here, I will divert their attention..." She used the other way to send her away.

Arna never lived alone and was frightened hearing her. "I-I am scared. Momma..."

Naira, who heard Momma again, grabbed her arm and dragged her to the door, "Fine, if you want to ruin your own life and became nothing, so be it."

Arna didn't leave the room and cried, shrugging her hand off. "Will Momma forget this if I return after training?"

Naira hid her cunning smirk, "Absolutely, if you achieve with your own strength, why will they be angry? They will think a mistake helped you become strong. Didn't Uncle Alan always say the same? We have to make mistake, face problems and become strong learning by it."

Arna lost her thinking capability and had the thoughts filled by Naira. Only Naira's words repeated in her mind as she imagined her family walking away from her in disgust.
