Vansh entwining their fingers took Riddhima to dining set up where her favourite foods were kept. Both made each other eat & enjoyed the time.

VANSH: Jaan go & change into night wear. We'll head back to mansion tomorrow early morning so that we can have breakfast with all of them.

Riddhima nodded. Both went to their room & Vansh taking his clothes went to other room to change. Vansh was waiting for Riddima in balcony. She came & sat beside him with a flask of hot chocolate. Vansh pulled her in back hug while she smiled making herself comfortable in his arms & kept the flask at side. Riddhima kept her hands on his & started doodling patterns on his hand like a small child while with other hand Vansh was playing with her VR ring.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh...

VANSH: Hmmm....

RIDDHIMA: Aap ne mujhe Riddhima Jahnvi Shekhar kyun bola?

Vansh smiled & kissed back of her hairs because he knew this will come.

VANSH: Because that's real you &..

RIDDHIMA: &....

She tilted her head to look at him.

VANSH: You love that name the most. It's your identity.

Riddhima smiled hearing him & continued her work of doodling patterns. There was a silence between both of them & both were enjoying it because they don't need words to express their hearts talk a lot. Vansh took the flask & Riddhima turned & sat facing him. He was opening the flask & in that process the hot chocolate fell on his chest.

VANSH: Ouch....

Riddhima hurriedly took the flask from his hand & took him to bathroom.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh please apna shirt nikal dijiye. Aap ko treatment ki zaroorat hain, it was really hot.

VANSH: I'm fine Jaan, don't panic ab jal nahi raha hain.

He was denying for treatment & Riddhima was insisting him to get it. He was trying to avoid the situation so Riddhima got confused. So she told sternly.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh remove your shirt.

VANSH: Ziddhima...

He said annoyingly she chuckled at him. He knew her Ziddhima well so he took out his shirt. Riddhima signed him to remove his vest too. Sighing he removed his vest too. Riddhima's eyes immediately went to his right side chest where the hot chocolate fell. It was all red. She started to pour running water there using hand held shower while blowing so he doesn't get burning sensation much ti remove hot chocolate. Tears brimmed in her eyes seeing it. Vansh realised that how she even can't bear even a single scratch on him. He cupped her face & made her look into his eyes. Tears rolled down her eyes seeing his eyes.

VANSH: I'm okay Jaan.

RIDDHIMA: Jhuth mat boliye bahot jal raha hoga na. I know.....

Vansh was having burning sensations there but he didn't wanted to give stress to her but her last words "I know" made him realised that if only this much burn is giving him this much pain then how she would've handled herself when she was burnt fully. Realising it tears rolled down his eyes & he hugged her. Both felt peace having each other near to their heart. Riddhima broke the hug. She took the ointment & applied it gently blowing air & covered the injury with sterile bandage while scolding him that he is been careless about himself. Vansh was enjoying it admiring her while holding her from her waist. Then her eyes went to his left chest & she gasped in shock with tears continuously flowing from her eyes which were shining. Vansh smiled seeing her reaction & kissed her forehead.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh yeh...

VANSH: I'm all yours.

There was a tattoo of her name on his chest on his heart. She ran her fingers over there & happy tears again rolled down her eyes.

RIDDHIMA: Kab karvaya aap ne?

VANSH: Humare roke wale din. Remember I went out in afternoon at that time I went to get it done.

RIDDHIMA: Bahot dard hua hoga na?

VANSH: Bilkul nahi. Tumse juda hua kuch bhi mujhe kabhi nahi dard de sakta.

Riddhima just tip toed a little & Vansh holded her firmly to let her balance. She kissed on that tattoo & hugged him. Vansh picked her up hugging her tight taking her whole weight on him.

RIDDHIMA: Aap ne mujhe bataya kyu nahi?

VANSH: Woh I knew that you won't be comfortable with me seeing me like this. I wanted you to be comfortable enough to get your this gift.

Riddhima realised that his upper body was naked but she didn't felt uncomfortable. Also hearing him she realised that he will never hurt her or make her uncomfortable. They broke the hug.

VANSH: Liked it? (Asked cupping her face)

RIDDHIMA: Loved it....

She again kissed there & made him wear his vest & shirt. She took her to balcony & laid down hugging him.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh agar winter nahi hota na toh I'll sleep keeping my head over your chest keeping my hand on the tattoo. I'd sleep seeing it.

VANSH: Are you comfortable?

Riddhima bobbed her head like a child.

VANSH: I'll fulfill your wish soon.

She smiled & nodded. Don't know when enjoying each other's peaceful silence & talking through their hearts they slept in each other's arms.

Next morning after getting ready they went to mansion. All were already waiting for them at dining table for breakfast.

VANSH & RIDDHIMA: Good Morning everyone.

EVERYONE: Good Morning.

Mrs. Dsouza started serving breakfast. Riddhima started having breakfast & as Vansh had made her wear VR ring in right hand it came to everyone's notice. Kiyaan, Angre & Rehaan smirked at each other as they got one new reason to tease them. Siya saw this & rolled her tongue inside her cheek with a smile. Riansh unaware of everything were sharing cute eyelocks. Prithvi & Neela mentally prayed god to keep their all children happy. Soon both elders completed heir breakfast.

NEELA: Riddhima Beta hum aur Raja Sa aaj bahar jaa rahe hain humari ek cousin sister yahan hain toh unke ghar. Hum raat ko dinner karke hi aaenge.

RIDDHIMA: Okay Mami Sa. Aap akele mat jaiye Vardhan aap ke saath jaenge.

Neela nodded as she knew there is no point in arguing with her. They left from there.

REHAAN: Bhabhi aap aaj bahot pretty lag rahe ho.

RIDDHIMA: Thank you Rehaan. (said with a smile)

SIYA: Di aap ne kuch kiya hain kya I mean you're glowing.

Vansh knew that where these talks are going but he smiled seeing Riddhima all confused.

RIDDHIMA: No Siya. I've done nothing.

KIYAAN: Siya tum bhi na she will glow only na after all Bhai loves her a lot.

ANGRE: Aur Bhai bhi kahan koi mauka chodte hain Di ko surprise dene mein aur pyar karne mein.

REHAAN: Ohh so the reason behind Bhabhi's glow is Bhai & his love.

VANSH: I promise Jaan to never let this glow fade away till eternity.

All started hooting to tease them. Riddhima was blushing like hell while Vansh was enjoying. Not able to handle more she stood up & ran to her study. All chuckled seeing her. Kiyaan & Angre were happy seeing her like this. Mrs. Dsouza came to Vansh.

MRS. DSOUZA: Thank you Sir for everything for giving happiness to our Mam. I'll pray to god to keep you both always happy wih each other & protect your bond.

VANSH: Mrs. Dsouza aap ko thanks kehne ki zaroorat nahi hain. Maine wahi kiya jo woh deserve karti hain. She deserves world's all happiness & I'll make sure it happens.

Mrs. Dsouza nodded with a smile. All went to their respective works. Soon day passed & it was evening. Riddhima & Siya were enjoying swimming in hot pool. After swimming for a while they ordered Mrs. Dsouza to sent sandwiches & juice there. They were in pool & a video call came from Chanchal. They talked to her & Uma till their snacks came. Then they took the tray from Mrs. Dsouza & were having it in pool only.

SIYA: Di aap se kuh puchu Maa aur Papa ke baare mein?

RIDDHIMA: Siya tumhein uske liye permission ki zaroorat nahi hain. Woh tumhare bhi Maa aur Papa hain.

SIYA: Di Maa aur Papa ko khane mein kha pasand tha aur Umang Mama ko bhi? Woh I was thinking ki unke favourites banau unke death anniversary par toh....

RIDDHIMA: Siya I'm happy that you thought this, the way you accepted each & everyone of us. Par tumhein khud ko badal ne ki zaroorat nahi hain. Agar tum chahti ho ki unke favourites bane toh main bana dungi.

SIYA: Di par....

RIDDHIMA: Janti hu Siya tumhein aur Ishu ko cooking pasand nahi hain aur aaj agar Maa, Papa aur Umang Mama hote na toh woh kabhi tumhein kitchen mein enter bhi nahi hone dete. Tumne yeh socha yahi batata hain ki how much they mean to you.

Siya nodded with a smile. Riddhima shared their favourites & both were so busy that they didn't realised that Kiyaan, Angre, Vansh & Rehaan came there & were listening to them. Both were making each other eat too & were still busy in talking. They couldn't have noticed if Riddhima didn't got a call.

KIYAAN: Chalo we'll also join them.

All nodded. Hurriedly they came after changing themselves & jumped in pool. Siya's eyes went to Vansh's chest & found something like tattoo.
