Riddhima is looking at Sharma family with confusion while Vansh smirks thinking of her reaction of the bomb he is going to implant after some second. Meanwhile, Angre and Siya both are worried for Riddhima's reaction. Just then only Anupriya opens her mouth to announce the so called "good news" which makes other Rai Singhanias surprised.

Anu(with head holding high):- I'm very proud to inform you all that  Sharma family is going to be our relative very soon because someone very close to our heart will be the future queen of VR Empire.

Dadi frowns and asks - But Anu, we already have queen of VR Empire in form of my Riddhima. Then what are you trying to say? Are you thinking to marry Mr Sharma's daughter with our Aryan but as far I know she is elder than our Vansh then how could you think of marrying my little grandson with a girl of his didi's age?

Her indirect taunt makes Roshni uncomfortable while Aryan makes bad face. Siya and Angre smiles looking at each other. But Riddhima is all silent because she could sense some storm is going to come in her silent life. She has lost herself already towards that beast of her husband but now her worry is for the unborn kid in her womb. Its father could ignore the truth but how can she avoid the life which will be her blood, her own flesh. Suddenly her thought gets shattered with Anupriya's next announcement.

Anu :- Well jokes apart, I'm here talking about VANSH AND ROSHNI'S MARRIAGE. Mr Sharma has given us a proposal of Vansh's REMARRIAGE as we all know Vansh doesn't consider that girl as his wife. So why will I destroy my son's life for that forced marriage. And even he loves Roshni so I'll do anything for my son's happiness.

Suddenly the calm dadi becomes aggressive - You're doing this for Vansh? His happiness? No..Anupriya, no. If Riddhima was Vansh's love interest then you'd have never accepted the proposal so easily! But as the relation with Sharma family is equal to Rai Singhania's status so you're supporting it! Don't be so blind in status and possession, that oneday you'll have nothing but to regret! And if Vansh doesn't agree also then the truth is unchanged and that is RIDDHIMA WAS, IS AND WILL BE HIS WIFE. And moreover, you cant ignore the fact your son has already intimated with her. So if tomorrow she becomes PREGNANT then? What will be your decision?

At dadi's word, all look really thoughtful as they have never thought of it. Meanwhile, Roshni and Sharma family is tensed thinking how to convince this fools now! And Vansh is looking deeply towards Riddhima which makes her shivered in fear.

Seeing Anupriya silent and in thought, Ishani comes forward and supports her brother - And that will never happen! Because we all know bhai loves Roshni so he will never look at this behenji for a full minute also, making her pregnant with his child is second thought. And about intimacy, that's a lie. Dadi, you're very innocent so you don't know it has been her plan to trap bhai. And one night intimacy will not make her pregnant, I do believe that much!

Listening her Riddhima is shattered as the truth is SHE IS ALREADY PREGNANT WITH VANSH'S KID. And  Vansh is now doubting his own self. Because as per Ishani said, if he truly loves Roshni then why at every single night he makes love with her? Making love?..his conscience mocks at him and he corrects himself - forcing himself upon her. But the thing is making him worried - if Riddhima becomes pregnant with his child now only then what will he do? But then Ishani's words make him relieved that she is not pregnant yet because if she has been then she must have told him. As being a "gold digger", she will never let go of the chance.

In between Aryan comes forward and suggests the solution of this deep problem with his " thick skulled" intelligence :- If the one night intimacy is problem then give her big amount of money and ask her to leave. And if she becomes pregnant too then at divorce time, she will get alimony and leave with that so called kid of hers.

Listening him, all get surprised while Vansh for the first time thinks him wrong. Because Riddhima is not any whore, he is the one who has forced himself upon her. And the talk regarding his kid makes him nostalgic and he gets drowned in thought while Riddhima has noticed his silence and gets broken. So wiping the tears from her cheeks, she leaves towards their room. And that's when dadi goes and slaps Aryan tightly.

Dadi(angrily) :- How could you pronounce such words for your own bhabhi, she is not any outsider! And you don't have any right to talk about any girl like this, how could you be so heartless?

Ishani explodes with her venomous mouth - He is not wrong, dadi. Nowadays, sex is normal thing and bhai is her husband so he could do 'that' with her anytime whether she agrees or not! And most importantly, bhai has only married her ritually, the marriage is not registered. So this marriage has no value and bhai can marry his love without any barrier!

Listening her all get silent while Siya,Angre and dadi feels awful at Ishani's low mentality. She herself is a girl and is badmouthing about some other girl. Meanwhile, the first part of Ishani's words has affected Vansh's thinking immensely. He starts to believe that he is not wrong to feel lust and desire upon his own wife's body and he could enjoy her anytime. And the good part is their marriage is not legal so he can torture Riddhima more with this drama of remarriage! He doesn't know why he behaves like a sadist towards her pain always! Is it because she is submissive to him? Or there is any other reason?

Suddenly Chanchal eyes Rudra and signs him to keep the proposal forward now only. So he starts - So what you have thought, Mrs Anupriya? I'm not here with my family to listen such arguments! If you people are agreed with me then the deal is happening and our both business will tie up. Moreover, Roshni is my only daughter so everything will be hers only. Now it's your choice to think wisely and if you're ready then I want the marriage within two weeks time period. And the engagement will be happening after four days. What you say, Mr VR?

Listening his proposal, Vansh sees Riddhima's face before his eyes and gets more frustrated. His heart and mind starts to argue and being irritated, he says - YES, I'M READY FOR YOUR PROPOSAL!

And like this Anupriya, Ishani and Aryan supports Vansh while dadi is numb to react. Her pride, her most lovely grandson disagrees with her, she feels heartbroken. Angre and Siya now knows the time has come they must have to do something quickly before it destroys the whole family and their happiness.

After that all start to have their dinner while dadi and Siya takes their food and goes to Riddhima as she is too starving. While Riddhima has been all tensed and crying over her fate. She is orphan and has lived her life alone. But now when it comes to her child, how could a mother become weak? Naah..she must have to talk with Vansh before the water goes far from her reach. With that new inspiration, she wipes her tears and gets afresh to have something. Because now she is not alone, she must have to think of that little soul. It is going to be her jaan. She will love him or her more than anything in this world. For this kid, she can accept Vansh's any torture happily. Their child needs both parents and she must have to make it happened.

She gets ready in a light cotton saree when dadi and Siya shows up in their room. She gets worried seeing their expression but doesn't mind. Because she wants to ignore every tension and negativity so that her baby feels relaxed. While seeing her in a happy mood, dadi eyes Siya to keep it unannounced for now. And then the trio enjoys their dinner happily. And before going, dadi keeps her right hand on Riddhima's head as a blessing jesture and asks her to be happy always like this.

Dadi :- You're a very brave girl, Riddhima. I pray to God that wherever you live,be happy like this always. And remember one thing, this dadi is always there for you. I'm not only Vansh's dadi but yours too.

Riddhima gets emotional at her this sentimental talk and wonders why she is so different today. Is it really going to affect her life in near future? In motherly instinct, she places her left hand on her flat belly unknowingly. Seeing her this action,  Siya asks surprised - Bhabhi, are you having stomach pain? Have you taken your medicines so far? You do one thing, just take rest and leave this tension away. (looking at dadi) You know dadi, today bhabhi has met with some accident. It's good one gentleman has taken her to hospital, otherwise what would have happened to her?

Dadi becomes tensed listening of accident and asks Riddhima why she has gone out without telling her anything? Riddhima becomes emotional at their love for her and says - Actually dadi, I was having dizziness and feeling of throwing up whatever I was having so I thought to go to hospital, but in middle way I got unconscious then I don't remember anything. When I got consciousness I was in hospital. And that man who helped me had gone already so I couldn't thank him.

Dadi gets tensed listening her symptoms as she is well experienced in this field while someone else is frowning from the doorstep knowing of Riddhima's accident.

Dadi holds Riddhima's face in her both hands and asks - So what has doctor said?

Riddhima lies and thinks to announce this big news to family when Vansh will accept this baby whole heartedly.

Riddhima (with closed eyes as looking at dadi's eyes she can't lie) :- The doctor has said it's nothing but indigestion. So she has given some medicine and has asked me to follow diet chart for few days.

Here listening to her, dadi breathes out the air she has been holding so far. And she caresses Riddhima's face.

Dadi(in mind) :- Oh God, please don't accept my first request to make Riddhima pregnant with Vansh's child! This innocent soul doesn't deserve such cruel life partner. If now she becomes pregnant with Vansh's child and he leaves her at the middle of nowhere then what will this pure soul will do? It's good to be single rather living with a coward husband who couldn't take stand for his own wife. All are naming his own wife when he is silent and busy to roam around his so called love. If it's the meaning of marriage, then my Riddhima is good to be alone for her whole life.

Thinking all these dadi goes away with Siya. They have been too busy in their inner mind to notice a man is standing and listening them. After they leave from there, the man enters inside and Riddhima gets conscious and makes herself prepared to announce this biggest news to Vansh.

But Vansh couldn't wait more before taking her in his embrace. Thinking of her accident, his throat becomes dry while the thought of her leaving makes him furious. Yes, it's him only to listen everything standing on the threshold of their room and the mere thought of Riddhima's accident makes his breath stop for a moment. He forgets everything....How before sometime, he himself has thought to separate her from his life. But now the very thought makes him worried.

Without any further thought, he takes her lips in his and start to passionately kiss her. And then he takes her in his arms and places her on bed but with care and affection. Riddhima gets drowned in passion and forgets to say that news as for the first time she is feeling love in her husband's touch. Where as Vansh has already been successful to throw their clothes on the floor and starts to enter inside her. Without any foreplay, he starts to thrust inside her, but this time it's slow yet passionate. Today for the first time Riddhima could find her husband to make love to her and not forcing upon her. She feels blessed as the baby has just announced its entry when her husband has been starting to change and it's for good. Now she believes this baby will surely change her husband's mentality. And that assures her of having a happy family. With that thought she happily hugs him back and thinks to tell him about the baby at next morning only. Whereas Vansh is busy to thrust inside her..as if he is trying to believe nothing has happened to her, she is still safe and in his arms.

Is it an indication of a new dawn or Riddhima is just overthinking? Let's see what is stored in their destiny!
