" You were You, and I was I ;
we were two before our time.
I was yours before I know,
and You have always
been mine too. "
- Lang Leav.

Her maternal uncle asks him and hers to introduce each other in name of having drinks ; that's when Vansh has noticed how beautiful Shelly is from near too. But he couldn't gather his heart to bring his heart out to her when Shelly has been busy to roam around her eyes around the party hall to notice any known person so that she could leave them..but alas! She's disappointed finding none.

Vansh has been following her all the time so Sameer Mehra thinks it would be better if he leaves the youngsters to talk freely but seeing Shelly he looses the idea to leave soon. But that's when an investor asks him to come aside for business talk so he's to leave with unwanted mind.

As soon as he leaves, Shelly feels unprepared before the handsome man which somehow satisfies Vansh's ego. He's been hurt knowing when all girls run behind him HIS LADY LOVE is ignoring his presence! But now her shyness adds happiness to his sinking heart.

Before she could excuse herself, Vansh introduces himself and after having a talk, he asks for her friendship. Shelly feels surprised when he asks for her friendship when all run behind her for her beauty and money....so she too thinks to go with this friendship.

And from that night their friendship starts to grow....while Vansh too gets struck there as Mr Sameer Mehra offers him a deal in collaboration which needs Vansh to be in Dubai for the whole month. It's the first time he's away from his siblings. His dadi assures him of handling the kids and prays for some special one in his life ; and meanwhile, for what Mr Sameer Mehra has stopped Vansh in Dubai has started succeeding too!

Yes, Shelly has fallen deeply for Vansh with the later in selflessly love with hers. And his stay in Dubai gets extended to three months making his siblings to be inwardly angry upon Shelly. For the first time they find Vansh to be away from them....they loss their guardian angel in Vansh after their parents' untimely death.

And that creates a gap in their beautiful relationship. Unknown to all the chaos happening in those innocent hearts, Vansh has married Shelly in the church with her family's support ; though dadi has been physically absent there but her blessing has been always with them.

Everything has been going good ; though Shelly has asked time for the nest step towards their new relationship called pure marriage, Vansh has been happy thinking his love is with him. But he's been missing the spark to mark her as his, simultaneously to be marked by hers too. And the day has appeared too.

On their six month of anniversary, Shelly has thought to surprise him by presenting herself to her husband. So getting ready in a black net saree and off-shoulder blouse, she looks herself at the mirror and smiles in satisfaction. Unknown to her, Vansh has gone Mumbai that evening in emergency as Siya has fallen from stairs. Being too involved in the project with Mr Sameer Mehra, he has to stop in Dubai only in these days which is the reason behind his negligence towards his siblings.

This seperation has made Siya so stressed that she couldn't notice when she's lost her steps while climbing the stairs.

When Shelly learns Vansh's sudden leave from her maternal uncle, she's been disappointed as she's decorated their whole room with jasmine and rose....hell, she's wore saree for the first time....just to make him surprised! But she's surprised knowing his departure. The whole scented room with dim lights make her broken.

However, she thinks to change and clean the room. And she starts to pass days in leisure to wait for him.

Meanwhile, Vansh has been too busy to take care of his princess....he feels guilty for leaving the kids behind. Even the surreal bonding between he and his babies seem to be too loose at the verge of breaking. And the feeling makes him teary eyed ; dadi has noticed how distanced the siblings are from their elder brother. So she advises Vansh to ask Shelly to come to Mumbai.

And when Shelly listens it, her blood boils. Because she's too possessive of Vansh and thinking to share him with his siblings, she losses her mind. Her evil mind starts to plan how to seperate Vansh from his family and to fly from India to Dubai forever and to settle themselves somewhere. Because he's alone hers!

However, for then she's reached  Mumbai and her hidden agenda gets fuelled up when his bratty siblings have disliked her on the first meet itself. They've showered their distaste upon her on their face making her clutch her hands tightly. Vansh has been too overwhelmed with the fact now he will live in Mumbai with the kids and his lady....his dream to see all family under one roof gets fulfilled.

Dadi prays for her family's wellbeing. Two seniors have been too busy to notice the cold war happening inside their family. Dadi has been handling the household works while Vansh has many projects to look after..his only relief has been his p.a. Viraj!

Days start to pass ; Vansh and Shelly have already taken their marriage ahead. Now Vansh is dreaming for one child born of his and Shelly's blood and flesh ; the baby will complete their family with its own naughtiness and innocence. But he doesn't know happiness and peace doesn't go along all together. And to achieve every height, sometime it's necessary to let's go off one important thing. This happens with him too.

It has been one year of their marriage. Vansh has once again proclaimed his love to Shelly at morning ; though last night he's loved her by saying how much he loves her! But he gets shocked when Shelly mischievously dares him to propose her in a unique way on this special day. So the couple decides to surprise each other by their own way and who will win, would be awarded with a special gift from the opposite person.

Shelly seems too confident to boost herself - "I know my surprise will be too special to loss you any time!"

........

Her words are ringing in his ears still now. He wipes the tear rolling down through his cheeks to whisper only - "If only I could have known of which surprise you're talking about....the BABY that we have made!....or YOUR SUDDEN DEPARTURE from this earth....then I would have never allowed you to drive alone that night.
Today we both could have been together with our..our baby!"

And he bursts up into crying. But suddenly a beautiful face pops up before his eyes....and surprisingly, the face which he loathes most feels too surreal now.

It says people love the most despicable person also when the person is on death bed....is she too..?

He can't think much as her not being there beside him in this room is hurting most! That's when his raw gaze gets struck with the photo frames on the room and his heart questions himself when he's accepted her in this room to feel empty? And he knows he has no answer to this.

And that's when he listens the joyful laughter of his siblings....he scrunches his brows..are they lost? There she is sick on bed and his siblings are shouting in happiness....he wonders is she conscious then! He sometimes feels surprised with the bond his kids share with hers as Shelly has never lived it.

Casting the comparison away with a sigh, he gets ready to go downstairs. Going before the threshold of Siya's room, he senses the feeling of deja vu to hit him again....and that's when he could listen the hush whisper between Aryan and Maan ; as Siya is busy in pampering her bhabhi maa so they are unaware of it.

"I think bhabhi maa is pregnant! She's going to bring a beautiful baby in this world." - the words of Aryan hit Vansh directly on his face.

He's never thought on this matter....is it true? Might be! .. as protections can't be hundred percent sure of restricting pregnancies.

A baby! He thinks dreamily....once he's thought to have a baby of his own..a part of his and his Shelly's. But could he be able to accept Shelly's murderer's blood in his baby? Moreover, what will be Ishani's reaction knowing this....he's badly struck amongst everything! He just hopes the assumption to be false as he could accept anything over the pregnancy news!

That's when he listens Maan to whisper - "I just pray to send a beautiful baby girl so that Siya can't get all those privileges from bhabhi maa ; being the youngest, she gets all those opportunities so with another princess' presence, her weight will be lessened!"

Aryan too supports him with a nod while Vansh rolls his eyes at their drama. That's when they learn the weak voice of Riddhima - "Aryan..Maan..baby, will you not hug your bhabhi? See how Siya is not ready to stop crying."

Siya answers with wiping her own tears - "No they will not talk to you..we all are katti with you. Don't you know that you are not only our bhabhi but our bhabhi maa so how could you think to skip your food and get weaken? Don't you know kids follow their parents in everything? Now we too will not have our food!"

Siya completes with a huff when the twins move their face in another side showing how much they're disappointed with their bhabhi maa ; Vansh mutters under his breath - nautanki!

But Riddhima's eyes get filled with tears but kids get astonished thinking she's hurt with their behaviour so they quickly run to her side and mutter 'sorry' by hugging her..not tightly enough to give her pain!

Riddhima thinks to clear the confusion or the innocent kids will not stop their sniffs : "What..what you have called me..maa! .. bhabhi maa? How .. I mean when and why.."

She's no strength left to ask them when for the first time Vansh feels lost of words. For the first time he's noticed those most expressive eyes to be filled with tears .. though of happy tears! But the way she's trying to avoid looking at his side is churning something inside him. He knows she could feel his presence unlike his siblings who are standing before him but her avoidance hurts him the most....and that doesn't go well with him. He too is stressed for her sudden sickness and he just wants to let her know but it seems she doesn't want to fuel her lost faith with a unstable ray! 

His thinking has to halt in between listening the honest confession of the trio : "When we have needed our momma she's been gone from this world but her bappa has blessed us in form of YOU! We have never felt momma's loss from then..though we have our bhaiya and dadi with us from before but no one can take a mother's place as it's not an easy task!

But your selfless love and care has not only melted us but also overwhelmed with tenderness..just rain quenches thirst in desert..sometimes we wonder if she'd have been alive our own mother too couldn't be able to love us the way you do!

In relation you are our bhabhi - our elder brother's wife but from heart we see you as our momma! So we have collaborated two relations into one as bhabhi maa.

So as you are not only our bhabhi, rather bhabhi maa..so promise us, that you'll never give up on life..whatever, the situation comes! We can live happily if we get to know you're alive somewhere..may be far from us but you'll not leave this world easily..you'll fight and we'll be with you in everything.

We have lost our momma once but not this time. Then the feeling has been to unripe to get hurt but now we can't live if something happens to you! We are afraid to loss our another momma..so promise?"

Riddhima couldn't pronounce a word. She's in tears feeling overwhelmed..how could she get so lucky? She's asked love only but here she's placed in God's place..is it true or she's dreaming? That much love in her fate..she wonders now no storm should attack her happy world.

But Vansh is too lost in his thoughts. Could he survive if something seriously happens to HER?....he can show to whole world HER presence doesn't affect him but what will he answer to his own heart? Unfortunately, he's no answer and that only makes his heart cry in silence.

........

An old lady of early fifties is found alone in her cabin. Usually in this afternoon, she's to attend more patients but today she's taken a break to read an important file. As last day she's asked blood report of a young girl and today after twenty four hours the report is before her and it's the reason of growing lines on her forehead.

In her thirty years' medical life as doctor, she's never faced such situation. She doesn't know what to tell the patient's family. She is totally blank. She's struck between her role as a lady and doctor. However, she has asked the head of laboratory department to see is something missing or any wrong has happened in between. Though she knows inwardly that there is no wrong in the report.

She's somehow recognised it during the check up but then also she doesn't want anyone to go through this situation....especially a young girl like her .. Mrs Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania - that's the name it says!

She straightens herself to meet the gaze of the patient so that atleast she can save one life!

........

• Precap :- Riddhima gets to know the reason of her sickness.
