Listening Ahana's condition, Vansh feels his breath is taken out of his system..could he live without his Riddhima? He has already promised to dadi and himself that he will search her by any means..but if he accepts Ahana then how could he get back HER with their little baby? So he thinks to reply her : Listen, you can't just order me for what I'll do or not? She is my wife, dammit! How could I leave her?

Ahana smiles sarcastically and says : Oh really, Mr VR? If I remember right then you're the same person to deny her as your wife before this society and has been going to marry that slutty girlfriend of yours! Then why are you screaming for your lost 'pretended' wife..don't tell me your lust is not fulfilled yet..so you want to quench your thirst from her body?

Suddenly Vansh shouts in pain : Please, don't..just don't go there.

Ahana with a bitter laugh : Why? Are you afraid to face the truth? Then listen..I'm saying what people want to say..but they are silent fearing your power to make them jobless..but I'm not afraid like them..I'll tell everytime that you're a bloody rapist..you've raped mercilessly of your own wife and that too every night.

Vansh holds his ears under his palm : Please stop it..I can't listen more..yes..yes..I'm the accused of hers..and for whole life I'll ask for her forgiveness..just give me a chance to rectify it..murderer also get a chance to prove themselves for a last time..please ask your friend to forgive me for last time..I can't live without her..I've not realised her value when she has been here but now how painful it is to spend every second without her..I promise I'll correct everything.

Ahana thinks for a moment and says : Well whether to forgive you or not will be HER decision..but according to me, if you want to rectify your mistakes, sorry SINS then do change yourself..make yourself as the MAN she wants to see..rectify every mistakes of yours and the first step is to PUNISH THE MURDERERS OF HER PARENTS. Say, will you do that?

Listening her last part, all get astonished and stare at her like hypnotised..Vansh with a trance says : MURDERER of her parents? What do you mean by that?

Ahana looks at everyone and clears her throat : Well, Riddhima too had her parents with her..if now she is an orphan....

Before she proceeds, Vansh cuts her softly : Please, don't use the term..for..for HER.

Ahana smiles at him a little and replies : What's true you have to accept that, Mr VR. Moreover, you're also among them to call her an 'orphan'..so why so sudden mercy on that 'orphan' girl, Mr VR? Okay now leave it..and where have I been? Yes..so now she is an ORPHAN..because the reason is not she is some illegitimate child or her parents have left her like some trash. But it's because her parents WERE KILLED BRUTALLY and that too when Riddhima was a ten years old child.

WHAT??....it's the sound echoing in while mansion..meanwhile, Vansh is clutching his left chest to lessen his pain..what he has done? When she has been already broken..he has to intensify that pain? Which type of a beast he is! Ahana is true....he has no right to search her..rather he will build himself as a new person..according to her. But before everything, he will punish those culprits who have made HIS Riddhima an orphan.

Here all start to listen Ahana attentively. Ahana goes to flashback :-

•••

Ahana is waiting for Riddhima in college cafeteria..it's already late but there is no trace of Riddhu..she is going to leave the place when suddenly her gaze falls on the garage area..there the girl is standing under shade..but her face is looking pale..now what that Sharma family has done to her innocent friend?

She hurriedly goes to her and places her right hand on her shoulder but at her surprise, she turns back at her with tearful eyes and hugs her tightly. She is looking very pale as if someone has tried to misbehave with her but she has rescued herself somehow.

Ahana pats her head lovingly and when Riddhima gets calm, she asks her : What's there to cry that much? Do you know I don't like my Riddhu as a cry baby?

But surprisingly she gets more serious which alerts her. And then Riddhima starts saying : Today before coming to college, I was passing through the lawn before Mr and Mrs Sharma's study room. But you know what I've listened there? I also HAD a family..a loving mother and a caring father..but it's not destiny..it's those monsters who have murdered my parents to snatch their everything.

Ahana gets shock and somehow manages herself for Riddhu : What are you saying, baby? And how come you get to know?

Riddhima chuckles sadly while tears roll down her fluffy cheeks : The monsters are my adopted parents Mr and Mrs Sharma..isn't it ironical that doing murder of that couple, you're adopting their baby before entire society and showing yourself great..and me? I was feeling very thankful to them as I'm getting a chance to succeed my dream. But the truth is something else. THEY HAVE BLOODY MURDERED MY PARENTS BECAUSE MY PARENTS HAVE SAVED A GREAT AMOUNT BY SELLING OUR FAMILY LANDS..MY PARENTS WANTED TO BUILD A BUISNESS EMPIRE WITH IT..WHILE BY MISFORTUNE, THIS SHARMA COUPLE HAD TO BE MY PARENTS' FRIEND AND NEIGHBOURS..WHEN THEY HAD SUCCESSFUL TO BUILD A NEW LANDMARK IN BUISNESS WORLD..I WAS ONLY TEN. SO ONEDAY THIS CREEPY CREATURES HAD SHOWED THEIR TRUE COLOURS AND FAILED THEIR BREAK WHEN WE THREE - MY PARENTS AND ME WERE COMING BACK FROM SOME CHARITY EVENT..MY PARENTS WERE SPOT DEAD WHILE I WAS ADMITTED TO SOME HOSPITAL..I HAD LOST MY MEMORY SO I'VE HAD NO MEMORY OF PAST..AND BY TAKING THAT CHANCE, THEY HAD JUST CAPTURED MY PARENTS' PROPERTY AND ADOPTED ME. BEFORE SOCIETY THEY ARE SAVIOURS BUT ACTUALLY THEY ARE MURDERERS. AND TILL NOW I'VE ACCEPTED THEM AS MY GOD. HOW FOOL I AM, ISN'T IT? FOR THE FORTUNE, THEY'VE MURDERED MY INNOCENT PARENTS.

Saying this Riddhima sits down on the floor. Ahana gets shocked at the revelation and feels shattered for this broken soul. She feels her cheeks wet too. So she just hugs her and silently wipes Riddhima's tears. She chooses to be silent as sometimes silence proves to be great healer. And the girl who has faced the biggest truth of her life..how could her judgement make her feel better?

After she gets little stable, Ahana makes her sit on some bench present at that time. And then gives her the water bottle to wash her mouth and drink a little. Then Ahana opens her mouth : YOU'LL FEEL ME WRONG BUT LISTEN ME CAREFULLY. THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PARENTS WITH GREAT PLAN SO YOUR ONE SUDDEN EMOTIONAL STEP COULD MAKE THEM EASY TO DO ANOTHER MURDER ALSO.(Riddhima gasps at her comment.) DON'T TAKE HASTE DECISION. BECAUSE BEFORE THOSE CULPRITS, YOU'RE JUST A MERE PAWN. SO YOU'VE TO TAKE EVERY STEP LIKE A PREDATOR.

Riddhima asks : What do you want me to do?

Ahana smirks : PRETEND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA REGARDING YOUR PAST..LIVE AS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING .. BECAUSE THIS SOCIETY DOESN'T BELIEVE A WEAK PERSON..YOU WILL ATTACK THEM BEING A SUCCESSFUL AFTER ACHIEVING EVERY STEP OF YOUR DREAM AND THEN YOU WILL ATTACK THEM AND AVENGE YOUR PARENTS' DEATH..MAKE YOUR GOAL CLEAR AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH WITHOUT GETTING AFFECTED BY OUTER WORLD. IF YOU FEEL HURT FROM ANYTHING OR ANYONE..TAKE IT AS YOUR INSPIRATION..THEY HAVE DESTROYED YOUR FAMILY AND YOU WILL DESTROY THEIR LAVISH FAKE LIFE WHICH IS NOT THEIRS ACTUALLY.

Riddhima listens to her attentively and accepts her suggestion as her Mantra.

•••

Ahana returns back to her present and looks at Vansh with glaring eyes : Now do you have any idea? How much loss your decision has made to my Riddhu's life? As you've destroyed her dream so now it's your duty to complete her incomplete mission..and that is to punish those cheaters. So tell now..will you do that? She has been broken and you've ignited that feeling inside her .. so now it's your duty to bring justice for her.

Vansh nods his head in assuring her. Ahana trusts him seeing the determination in his eyes. But she doesn't say anything to him. Then after reminding them once again to leave her friend in her own way, she leaves the mansion back.

Being under sedatives, dadi has had no idea what has been happening downstairs. Without her knowledge, her favourite grandson has accepted his defeated fate to let go his wife in her way..he consoles himself in his mind : If there is written in his destiny to meet HER then surely oneday he will meet her. But for now he will gather every proofs and trap those vile creatures in his trap. Now his only mission is to serve punishment to those cheaters and murderers. They have not only murdered Riddhima's parents, but they have destroyed that innocent girl's entire life by tieing her up with a man like him.

Here Ahana starts to search for Riddhima everywhere..she takes help from her new friends from different states..but everytime she has to be heartbroken. At last she joins in her work in Oberoi Designing Group. Seeing and being with her LOVE all day, she could forget her pain a little but at night she gets to have nightmare. Like this, one year has already passed but there is no sign of her baby friend. Oneday her team has searched about some amazing boutique shop in Jaipur. All have been praising a lot about the designer's unique thought. Even her boss has listened it so he has decided to hire that designer for their own benefit.

And as thought, on one fine morning the team consisting Mr Oberoi himself has gone to Jaipur and talked with the owner regarding this matter. From the time they all have landed in Jaipur, she has been feeling joy in her heart all of a sudden. With a beating heart, when she goes to meet with that designer, she has no words other than - RIDDHIMA. And the both friends stand before each other with surprising gaze.

Riddhima and Ahana both have been busy in their own thoughts when suddenly Vanya screams : Momma .... hungly..momma....foodie!!

Ahana too joins her. At which Riddhima smiles at them affectionately. And then trio enjoys the meal and then after doing the dishes, Riddhima gets ready and trio goes out. And then they reach to the boutique within a few feet of walking distance. Getting inside, Riddhima feels nostalgic and emotional, like each and every day. Because this place is not her work place but her saviour..if that day she doesn't have the job..then don't know what she and her Vanya would have been doing now. She just wonders and thanks God numerous times in her mind. Truly if you've no one beside you, then God is always there to protect you.
