Greetings from:

Mrs. Amaira Parth Patel & Patel family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

AJAY: Beta when you & Vansh both understand each other so much than why you are not sharing your problems, your pain with him. You'll feel light.

RIDDHIMA: Papa Vansh effects me like no one ever did. His one smile makes my heart dance & for his one smile I can cross any limit. His one look is enough to break all the walls which I've built around me. I've shared some of the things related to my pasts aur woh dikhate nahi hain par Papa woh bahot stressed ho jate hain. I know jab bhi meri health bigadti hain unki saansein ruk jati hain. When he looks into my eyes na Papa I can't control myself. When he hugs me na I feel like I'm at the most safest place, when Vansh is around me I feel contented, when he smiles I feel like to dance seeing him happy. Papa Kiyaan & Angre including me were heartless before you all came in our life. We became like this after Maa & Papa went. You know na we have guns & sometimes in self defence we need to use it too like the incident happened in South Africa. But we never felt guilt or any emotion we  became this cruel. But phir bhi Kiyaan ki halat dekhi na aap ne kya hogai thi mera past ko jaan kar. Angre dikhata nahi hain par he is now a days on highest dose of anti - depression pills. He is too getting anxiety attacks. That's the reason I don't want to share it with Vansh all together. Papa you all are very kind hearted people & I don't want to show you all the face of cruelness we faced in fact I want to keep you all away from it because I know how losing kindness & innocence feels like. 

AJAY: This much is going in my betu's heart.

RIDDHIMA: Papa if Vansh is my strength, then he is my weakness too. Agar unhein kuch hua na toh main bardasht nahi kar paungi, I'll die Papa, main mar jaungi. I...I ca...can't live without him Papa. I love him Papa I love him so much.

She sobbed saying this.

RIDDHIMA: Aa.... Aap ko pa....pata hain....muj....mujhein sa...saans nahi aa...aa rahi thi jab....  jab I...I... came to kn...know....  ki he...he got.... Injured while pla...playing &.... & he... he was hospi...hospitalised.... (said while hiccupping)

AJAY: Shh...bas bas... beta. Shant shant relax. Rona nai beta kisi ko kuch nahi hoga. Bas bas ab ye aansu nahi.

He said wiping her tears & patting her head. 

AJAY: Beta ek baat bolu for me your happiness & everything matters to me as much as of Vansh's so never ever hesitate to share anything in life. 

Riddhima bobbed her head cutely. After 15 minutes she broke the silence. 

RIDDHIMA: Papa aap se ek baat kehna chahti hu. I know I behave recklessly many times, does many things which are wrong, bahot saari galtiyan bhi kar deti hu par Papa please meri galtiyon ki saza kabhi Siya aur Kiyaan ko mat dena. I've already promised ki Siya aur Kiyaan mere liye dono ek jese hain. Aur Siya aur Ishu toh meri betiyan hain aur unhein hurt ho yeh baat toh main bilkul bardasht nahi karungi. Papa please kabhi meri wajah se Kiyaan aur Siya ko saza mat dena.

AJAY: Arrey esa kyun soch rahi hain. Kisi ko kuch nahi honewala aur tu jo bhi karti hain uske piche strong reasosns hote hain. Also I promise ki I'll always make sure ki mere saare bache humesha safe, peaceful aur happy rahe. 

Riddhima nodded. Both father daughter duo talked to their heart content while stars shone showering the blessings on them on behalf of Shekhar & Jahnvi who were happy seeing their daughter happy. At 3:00 both went back to palace.Reaching palace Riddhima slept in Shekhar & Jahnvi's room & Ajay in Kiyaan's room as it was next to Shekhar & Jahnvi's room. At 6:00 am both left for mumbai. Riddhima slept leaning her head on Ajay. Both reached there & directly went to dining area for breakfast. All wished good morning to them. Riddhima fed Angre & Kiyaan. Both made her eat too. 

NEELA: Riddhima beta aap kal raat ko soi nahi thi kya aap ka chehra kyun itna thaka hua hain?

RIDDHIMA: Mami Sa woh kal back to back meetings thi isiliye din mein rest karne ka time nahi mila aur raat ko hum Papa ke saath bahar tehelne gae the aur baatein karte karte der ho gai aur subhah jaldi jaag gae the yahan aana tha isiliye.

PRITHVI: Aaj aap rest kar lijiye yun ese machino ki tarah kaam karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hain.

Riddhima nodded. Everyone was having their breakfast & Riansh were having cute eyelocks during it. As Vansh finished his breakfast he looked at Riddhima & the moment she looked at him he signalled her to come to room after finishing breakfast & she blinked saying yes in response.

VANSH: Excuse me everyone. I've one important call to do.

Everyone nodded with a smile. Riddhima completed her breakfast & she too went excusing herself. The moment she entered the room, Vansh closed the door & pulled her in for a bone crushing hug. She was surprised due to his sudden hug.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh....

But he didn't spoke anything rather was just holding her close to him hiding her in his embrace near his heart ensuring that she is safe & all okay. Riddhima hugged him back & started rubbing it slowly. After sometime,

RIDDHIMA: Kya baat hain Ansh? Kuch hua hain kya?

VANSH: I love you Sweetheart.... I love you so much....

RIDDHIMA: I love you too Ansh....

Riddhima realised that he was tensed for her due to past days incidents & top of it she avoided him yesterday. 

RIDDHIMA: I'm fine Ansh. Spending time with Papa really helped me a lot.

VANSH: Pakka na....

RIDDHIMA: Pakka....

VANSH: You know na meri Jaan that I'm always there for you...,,

RIDDHIMA: Hmmm....

Both broke the hug & Vansh kissed her forehead. 

RIDDHIMA: So is my sunshine feeling better?

Vansh smiled hearing her & pulling her closer placed his lips on her. Riddhima was surprised due to his sudden action & her eyes widened in shock. He smiled in between the kiss & closed his eyes. She cupped his face with one hand & with other she started ruffling his hairs closing her eyes feeling the moment. He lifted her up a little & placed her on his feet. She gasped due to his this step & he taking opportunity slipped his tongue in her mouth. Tasting her mouth he started sucking her upper lips & she started sucking his lower lips. Feeling breathless both broke the kiss. Riddhima hided herself in his embrace blushing. 

VANSH: Sweetheart I wanna have cherries.

Ridhdima tilted her head being all confused. 

RIDDHIMA: Huhh...

Vansh lightly bit her cheek.

VANSH: It's yummy Sweetheart. 

He said while chuckling & she with a blush smacked his arm. Riddhima was still standing on his feet & her hands around his torso while he was standing holding her from her waist. He started walking towards bed & made her lay down & sat beside her.

VANSH: Sleep tight Sweetheart. I'm going to office & will try to come soon. 

He said & pecked her forehead & getting up covered her with blanket & went to windows & closing it put the curtains on to prevent sunlight from coming so she can sleep well. He again went to her & sat in half laid position caressing her head.

VANSH: I'll try to come for lunch. I'm not sure today as I want to complete some projects before Siya & Rehaan's birthday as deadlines are near so I've meetings lined up. Also I'm coming early in the evening as we need to talk & spend sometime. So you take care of yourself, sleep well, have lunch & medicines too.

Riddhima nodded. 

RIDDHIMA: Have a good day Ansh. You too have lunch & make Rehaan eat too. Don't forget in between work. 

Vansh nodded & pecked her forehead, eyes, nose, chin & lips & left the room closing the door. Inside she was smiling with a blushed face. She tried to sleep but was not able to sleep & was tossing on bed. Sighing she went down to laundry room & took his used shirt & blazer. She went back to room & wore his shirt over her top & covered herself with his blazer clutching it tightly near her heart she closed her eyes. Reminiscing their cute romantic moments she drifted to sleep. 

In Siya's room Siya was busy in the new project of Ananta Biotech while Kiyaan was sleeping keeping his head in her lap admiring her. Aryan was busy playing games on tv while Ishani was busy in skecthing some designs. Otherside elders decided to visit Nashik & Tryambakeswar. So Prithvi called Kiyaan & discussed about their plan. Youngsters denied as Riddhima, Vansh, Siya, Ishani & Angre are packed with work, he was in need to rest & Aryan didn't wished to go alone. So at last it was decided that only elders will go & Kiyaan was looking after arrangements. 

Soon it was lunch time so Uma went to Siya's room while Chanchal went to Riddhima's room.  Chanchal knocked but as Riddhima was in deep sleep she didn't heard. Chanchal opened the door & found that Riddhima was sleeping covering herself with Vansh's blazer he wore yesterday. She smiled seeing her as she was looking so cute like a baby. Caressing her head she spoke,

CHANCHAL: Princess common get up it's now lunch time.

She just kept her head in her lap.

RIDDHIMA: Sone do na please.

She said snuggling in Vansh's blazer.

CHANCHAL: Beta lunch ke baad so jana otherwise Vansh will get angry.

RIDDHIMA: No he won't I'm his Jaan.

Chanchal smiled hearing her & kissed her head which brought a cute smile on her face which made Chanchal's heart beat with a different happiness. She let her sleep for sometime & then woke her up. Riddhima sat & hugged her, 

RIDDHIMA: Good Afternoon Choti Maa....

She said with sleepy eyes.

CHANCHAL: Good Afternoon Beta. Chalo ab Vansh ki jaan get freshen up & come for lunch.

Riddhima blushed hearing her.

RIDDHIMA: Choti Maa..... (she whined due to teasing).

Chanchal chuckled. Till then Uma too came.

UMA: Arrey uthe gae meri beti.

Hearing her voice they broke the hug. Uma caressed Riddhima's face kissing her forehead hugged her.

UMA: Good Afternoon Princess.

RIDDHIMA: Good Afternoon Maa.

They broke the hug. Uma noticed that she wore Vansh's shirt & was covering herself with his blazer that he wore yesterday.

UMA: Beta why were you sleeping in Vansh's clothes? (teasing with a smirk)....

Riddhima got shy & looked down blushing while both mothers giggled at their shy daughter. 

RIDDHIMA: Unhone mujhe bigad ke rakh diya hain. Unke bina mujhe neend nahi aati. 

Both smiled at her & hugged her.
