PRITHVI: Hum yahan ek bahot important baat karne aae hain. Aaj hum yahan Vansh ke tilak karne ki baat karne aae hain aur chahte hain ki unn dono ki sagai ho jae.

Vansh & Riddhima were shocked.

AKSHAT: Prithvi Ji humein koi aitraaz nahi hain par hum sabse pehle Riddhima ki marzi jaan na chahenge.

Prithvi nodded with a smile.

NEELA: Riddhima, Vansh aap dono kya chahte ho?

VANSH: Mami Sa jo Riddhima ka decision hoga wahi mera decision hoga.

UMA: Riddhima beta aap kya chahte ho?

Riddhima didn't answered anything but ran to her room. All were shocked due to her behaviour. All went behind her shouting & calling her name but she didn't responded. She just locked the door. She took her Maa & Papa's photo frame which was kept by Vansh in his room & clutched it near her heart. She hided herself in one of the corner of the room sitting hugging down her knees & was crying vigorously.

VANSH: Riddhu please open the door.

KIYAAN: Di darwaza kholiye, Di kya hua?

All were knocking the door & asking her to open it but she was not at all responding.

AJAY: Beta darwaza tod do we can't take risk.

Vansh & Kiyaan went aside. Angre & Rehaan kicked the door breaking it. All went inside & didn't found her.

SIYA: Di kahan ho aap?

Uma checked closet & bathroom but found it empty. Then Kiyaan's eyes went to one corner & found her there hiding herself behind console unit. He rushed there. She was crying vigorously & sweating badly with heavy breathing.

KIYAAN: Di please mere saamne dekhiye. Riddhima Di...

But she was not responding. He took her out of that corner. Angre carried her in his arms & made her sit on bed. All were shocked seeing her condition.

ZALA: Angre usse leta do bed pe. Vansh uski medical kit lao jaldi se.

Angre did what Zala said. Zala sat beside her. Vansh came with her medical kit & handed to Zala. Zala tried to take the frame from her hand but she was not leaving her.

ZALA: Riddhima beta please relax. Calm down. Take deep breathe.

But alas she was lost in her own world craving very badly for her Maa & Papa. Kiyaan went & sat on other side. He caressed her hairs.

KIYAAN: Please Di mere liye. Ek baar meri baat suniye.

But she was not responding & due to continuous crying her breathe was getting heavy which was not good for her health at all. Not having any other option Zala gave her sedative which made her calm & she due to its effects drifted to sleep.

Vansh was still in shock seeing her like this. He trembled & Prithvi & Neela holded him.

PRITHVI: Vansh sambhaliye khud ko beta.

NEELA: Aap fikar mat kijiye woh thik ho jaegi. Bahot strong hain humari beti.

Vansh was just seeing her with tears brimming in his eyes. Prithvi made him sit on couch. Ajay sat beside him & hugged.

AJAY: Vansh handle yourself beta.

VANSH: Pa..Papa.... Ri...Riddhu....

AJAY: Shh... Humari Riddhima bahot strong hain beta kuch nahi hoga usse. Tumhein strong rehna hain uske liye. Please beta it's not time to fall weak. Vansh nodded.

Both broke the hug. All sat there waiting for her to gain consciousness. She was clutching the frame tightly near her heart. Siya went to kitchen & told Ramu Kaka to bring juice for everyone. Then she went to her room & brought medicines of Kiyaan. She came along with Ramu Kaka. She herself started serving & made everyone have it by convincing them. Last was Kiyaan.

KIYAAN: Please Siya abhi nahi.

She sat infront of her & cupped his face.

SIYA: Kiyaan please Di ke liye. Aap ko apni medicines bhi leni hain aur aap jante hain na aap woh skip nahi kar sakte aur stress bhi nahi le sakte. Please maan jaiye Kiyaan. Di agar aap ko ese dekhegi toh bahot takleef hogi unhein. Unke liye hi juice pee lijiye aur apni medicines le lijiye.

Everyone smiled seeing her the way she is handling everything. Kiyaan just nodded & had it. Riddhima was slowly gaining consciousness but she screamed & with a jerk sat on bed & opened her eyes being all sweaty.

RIDDHIMA: Maa.....

Kiyaan just hugged her.

KIYAAN: Shant ho jaiye Di please mere liye. Aap apne bache ki baat nahi manoge kya? Apne Kiyaan aur Angre ke liye shant ho jao.

He was constantly rubbing her back & somehow whispering sweet notings made her calm down.

RIDDHIMA: Ki....Kiyaan woh Ma...Maa.... au...aur... Pa...Papa... wo...woh... lo...log....

Kiyaan understood where the conversation was going. He broke the hug & cupping her face made her look on his eyes.

KIYAAN: Di kuch nahi hoga. Relax hone ki koshish kijiye. Aaraam se saans lijiye.

Tears rolled down her eyes.

RIDDHIMA: Hum...humare.... Ma....Maa... au....aur Pa...Papa...

KIYAAN: Hum baat karenge na Di par abhi aap shant ho jao panick mat karo. Dekhiye please Zala Uncle ko aap ki pulse rate check karne dijiye. (He said softly trying to take the frame from her hands).

Riddhima shaked her head in no. Everyone tried to make her understand but she was not ready to leave the frame & she was clutching it tightly. Zala understood that he need to give Riddhima the thing which she was asking for otherwise she'll lose her control on herself which will bring havoc in everyone's life. He went to his room & called someone. He went out & came soon.

ZALA: Aap sab please bahar jaiye main handle karta hu Riddhima ko.

Understanding the situation everyone left except Kiyaan.

ZALA: Please Kiyaan Rddhima ke liye. Agar tum uske saamne rahe toh woh aur unn cheezo ko yaad karegi isiliye please beta.

Kiyaan nodded & went inside. Zala somehow tricking her injected that to her. Slowly she was getting affected to it.

RIDDHIMA: Yeh..

ZALA: Haan it's that, now take rest for an hour.

Riddhima nodded. Zala made her sleep & he went outside.

VANSH: Riddhu kesi hain Uncle, woh thik toh hain na?

ZALA: Woh thik hain Vansh usse sleeping pills ka dose diya hain trick kar ke isiliye so gai hain. Let her sleep.

ANGRE: Par Uncle sleeping pills...

ZALA: Zaroori tha Angre. Rest karegi toh dimaag bhi thoda shaant ho jaega.

Angre nodded.

VANSH: Uncle main uske saath beth ta hoon.

ZALA: Vansh let her leave alone. This is the only thing to cure her. Akeli rahegi toh apne emotions apne hisaab se flow hone degi, hum sab ke saath rahegi toh andar daba degi.

Understanding him everyone left to family room. After near about 1 1/2 hours she came down as she was feeling thirsty & water jug was empty. She went to kitchen.

RAMU KAKA: Beta kuch chahiye aap ko?

RIDDHIMA: Bas pani bhar dijiye jug mein.

RAMU KAKA: Aap jaiye mein bhej deta hoon.

Riddhima nodded & went to room. Ramu Kaka filled the jug with water & went to Vansh's room. Riddhima took the jug & closed the room. He went to family room.

RAMU KAKA: Vansh Baba Riddhima beti jag gae hain.

VANSH: Kab jagi Kaka?

RAMU KAKA: Baba woh abhi aap ke room mein paani ka jug deke aaya hoon. Woh niche pani lene aae thi.

VANSH: Thank you Kaka.

Ramu Kaka went. All went to Vansh's room. Kiyaan knocked the room.

RIDDHIMA: Come in...

All went inside & saw that she was working on her iPad. Kiyaan, Angre & Vansh sat beside her.

KIYAAN: Di aap thik ho?

Riddhima just nodded. Kiyaan holded her one hand & with other hand cupped her face.

KIYAAN: Kya baat hain Di? Aap ne tilak aur engagement ki baat sun ke ese kyun react kiya?

Riddhima just hugged him & spoke nothing. Kiyaan just hugged her back.

VANSH: Riddhu agar tum nahi chahti toh nahi hoga but please apne aap ko ese hurt mat karo.

Riddhima hearing him shaked her head in no. Everyone were confused.

KIYAAN: Aap karna chahti hain?

Riddhima nodded in yes.

KIYAAN: Toh kya baat hain? Bataiye.

RIDDHIMA: Maa aur Papa ki yaad aa rahi hain Kiyaan.

Kiyaan just kissed her forehead. Prithvi & Neela went to her. Prithvi caressed her head.

PRITHVI: Beta hum Shekhar aur Jahnvi ki jagah toh nahi le sakte par hum unki kami puri karne ki puri koshish karenge.

NEELA: Toh beta hum taiyariyaan shuru karein.

Riddhima again nodded in yes. Somewhere Kiyaan, Angre & Vansh were not satisfied with her behaviour. Vansh & Angre thought to give her own time while Kiyaan's confusion was getting stronger that his Di is hiding something really big & wowed to get it know in his own ways.
