Riddhima sat between Vansh's legs & leaned on his chest near his heart wrapping her hands around his waist.

(Riddhima was sitting in between his legs, Vansh being shirtless & both covered with comforter, imagine them like this.)

He smiled as she was hiding herself in him. He with his one hand pulled her closer holding her through waist & with other holded her legs. Others were admiring them. All again got busy in chit chatting but Riddhima was moving her legs frequently. 

VANSH: Kya hua pairo main dard ho raha hain?

RIDDHIMA: Thoda sa. 

Vansh started massaging her legs. Riddhima knew that he won't listen if she would tell that don't massage legs so she just smiled looking into his eyes saying thank you. 

KIYAAN: Di aap ke liye kuch outfits mangwae the woh aa gae hain aur aap ke closet main rakhwa diye hain.

RIDDHIMA: Achanak kyun?

ANGRE: Woh Di hum jab last time Singapore gae the yaad hain for a short trip tab we ordered it for everyone. Sab ke outfits aa gae the except you because humne changes karwae the toh isiliye it took time. Toh woh aaj hi aae hain.

RIDDHIMA: Okay, thank you. 

Both glared at her & she rolled her eyes. After sometime Vansh spoke.

VANSH: Jaan aur kahin dard ho raha hain?

RIDDHIMA: Pura body thoda thoda pain ho raha hain.

Vasnh pecked her nose & then massaged her feet, followed by legs & hands. Vansh was sitting with bare chest so Riddhima was caressing the tattoo on his chest & with other hand she was holding him from his waist. After sometime Riddhima took his one hand & entangled their fingers & was playing with his ring. He smiled at her cute antics. She realised that the atmosphere is getting chilled so she started rubbing his back which sent jitters down his body as his upper body was naked. He looked at her.

RIDDHIMA: The atmosphere is getting chilled, you'll be feeling cold na....

Her voice was having so much of innocence, care & love for him. He smiled at his baby girl & pecked her nose rubbing his nose with hers which made her smile cutely. All were passing jokes & teasing each other sharing funny moments of their life & she was giggling hearing them. Vansh then massaged her back with one hand & then started massaging her stomach. Vansh's massage & their closeness was giving her peace & don't know when sleep engulfed her & she drifted to sleep.

ANGRE: Di toh so gai.

VANSH: Hmmm....

Rehaan got a video call of Prithvi.

PRITHVI: Hello Rehaan.

REHAAN: Haan Mama Sa boliye.

PRITHVI: Beta thik ho sab? Dinner kar liya?

REHAAN: Haan Mama Sa aur aap sab kaise hain? Thik se pahonch gae na?

PRITHVI: Haan beta. Riddhima kaisi hain?

REHAAN: Bhabhi thik hain Mama Sa bas abhi abhi so gae.

He changed the side of camera & showed to Prithvi. He & Neela saw that Riddhima was sleeping peacefully in Vansh's arms. They smiled & felt at peace looking her safe, peaceful & happy.  Meanwhile others too gathered there & talked to everyone. Call went for near about an hour & then bidding bye & wishing good night they cut the call. Vansh carried Riddhima in his arms & took her to their room. He made her lay down on bed & covered her properly with comforter. Kissing her forehead he went & closed the windows & wearing his shirt & closing the lights laid down beside her. 

Next morning during breakfast Riddhima was talking on phone instead of doing breakfast. Siya snatched phone from Riddhima's hand. The butlers were shivering in fear due to her this act.

SIYA: Enough Di. Aap apni health humesha kyun ese lightly lete ho?

She said getting little angry & started feeding her. All were admiring both.

SIYA: Juice dijiye please.

She said to butlers but all were shocked. Kiyaan & Angre chuckled in mind seeing butler's condition while Riddhima's smirked.

RIDDHIMA: Don't you get what she said. (in a little louder tone)

Mrs. Dsouza nodded in yes frantically & served juice with shivering hands. 

KIYAAN: You may leave.

All the staff left. As they left Kiyaan & Angre started laughing while Riddhima was glaring them.

ISHANI: Kya hua?

ANGRE: Aaj agar Siya ki jagah koi aur hota toh abhi iss waqt apne pairo pe khada nahi hota. Aaj tak kisi ne himmat nahi ki Di ko rokne ki except me & Kiyaan. 

KIYAAN: Aur kabhi kabhi toh humein bhi himmat nahi hoti hain unhein kuch kehne ki.

VANSH: My Jaan's angry bird avatar is really scary.

RIDDHIMA: So what do you all want ki I should pamper them? My foot.

Saying this she started eating. Everyone knew she was pissed off due to some reasons so all didn't disturbed her & were chuckling seeing her expressions. With these cute bickering they finished their breakfast. 

VANSH: Jaan are you going to office today?

RIDDHIMA: No I've some work to be completed here so I'm not going.

SIYA: Aryan Bhai, Ishu aap dono ko mere aath aana tha na toh you both can join me.

ARYAN & ISHANI: Okay.

KIYAAN: Siya Khanna ko saath leke jana I'm not coming. I've other works to be completed here in mansion.

SIYA: Kiyaan par guards ki zaroorat nahi hain.

ANGRE: Siya please no discussions on this matter. Aap log bina guards bahar nahi jaoge.

His tone was more serious than everyday so Siya agreed without further questions.

SIYA: Okay Angre Bhai.

ANGRE: Di aap aur Kiyaan aa jana. I'll be waiting in office.

He caressing Siya's head went to office on top floor. Whole day Kiyaan & Angre were busy collecting all the work related to underworld & passing it to Riddhima. Trio had their meals there only. Raisinghania siblings during night had their own time respecting their privacy. All the work completed at next day early morning 4 am. Trio went to their respective rooms. Riddhima came to her room & saw that Vansh was sleeping hugging her frame which brought a smile on her lips. She went to balcony & sat there & was admiring moon & don't know when she slept. Vansh woke up & saw that Riddhima was in balcony. He went there & found her sleeping.

VANSH: Riddhu bhi na....

He said seeing her sleeping in uncomfortable position. He carried her in his arms & made her sleep on bed.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh......

She said in sleep. He saw the watch & saw that there is still time so he laid down beside her taking her in his arms. She in sleep kissed his Adam's apple & hided her face in his crook of neck & like a child hugged him tightly. Vansh took a deep breathe to control himself & slept. After sometime he woke up & got ready & caressing her hairs & pecking her forehead went downstairs. All were there except Riddhima, Kiyaan & Angre as elders came back last night only. All knew that they were working till late night so all had their breakfast not wanting to disturb their sleep.

After breakfast all were sitting in hall.

SIYA: Mama Sa aap ne jo bola tha woh sab ho gaya hain.

PRITHVI: Okay beta. Aap ek kaam kijiye Kiyaan ko jaa ke jaga dijiye aur bolna ki traditional pehne.

Siya nodded & went. Also he told Vansh to wake up Riddhima & Neela to Angre.

IN RIANSH'S ROOM,

Vansh went & opened the curtains letting natural light come in room. Then he went & caressing her hairs woke up Riddhima. She sat on her knees & hugged him but was feeling sleepy.

VANSH: Good Morning Sweetheart.....

RIDDHIMA: Good Morning Ansh.....

VANSH: Jaan I know you're feeling sleepy but Mama Sa ne bola hain that you have to come down getting ready wearing traditional.

RIDDHIMA: Kyun????

VANSH: I don't know. But chalo now wake up, lunch ke baad so jana.

Bobbing her head & breaking the hug she with lazy steps dragged herself to bathroom. Getting fresh & brushing teeth she went down & saw that except her everyone was sitting there in traditional clothes.

RIDDHIMA: Mama Sa kya baat hain?

PRITHVI: Aaiye bethiye yahan pe.

He said patting near him. She went & sat beside him.

PRITHVI: Beta hum ne aur Rani Sa ne ek faisla liya hain aur hum chhate hain ki aap woh sweekar kare.

RIDDHMA: Baat kya hain Mama Sa?

PRTIHVI: Riddhima beta hum aaj aap ko Shekhawat Raj Parivaar ki paghdi saunp na chahte hain.

Hearing him everyone gasped in shock because girl heirs were not given the paghdi. It was the only right of boys & whole world knows that Bikaner's Shekhawat family is so strict in matters of culture.

RIDDHIMA: Ma...Mama Sa yeh aap kya bol rahe hain?

She asked being shocked.

RIDDHIMA: Ye....yeh na...nahi ho sakta. Aap Kiyaan ya Angre ko saunp dijiye.

NEELA: Shekhawat Parivaar ki paghdi aap ko hi saunpi jaegi beta kyun ki yeh aap ka haq hain.

Neela said holding her hands. Riddhima freed her hands & stood up.

RIDDHIMA: Sab kuch jante hue bhi aap aur Mama Sa yeh faisla kese kar sakte ho? Aap jante bhi ho kya bol rahe ho aap? Hum yeh nahi accept kar sakte.

KIYAAN: Di aap kyun nahi accept kar sakte?

Kiyaan asked holding her shoulders making her face him gently.

RIDDHIMA: Ye tum puch rahe ho? Seriously Kiyaan?

ANGRE: Di Kiyaan sahi toh bol raha hain.

Riddhima pushed both brothers slightly & rubbed her face with her palms.

RIDDHIMA: Yeh paghdi Suryavanshiyo ki shaan hain. Woh sirf ek paghdi nahi hain Shekhawat Parivaar aaj tak iss paghdi ki puja karta aaya hain. Aur sab kuch jante hue bhi aap ye sab kaise bol sakte ho main iss paghdi ka apmaan nahi kar sakti.

She said this in a strict voice & started going towards her room but Kiyaan & Angre holded her.

KIYAAN & ANGRE: Di.....

PRITHVI: Riddhima beta taiyaar ho jiaye muhurat ho raha hain.

RIDDHIMA: Nahi hum yeh nahi kar sakte. Hum paghdi ka apmaan nahi kar sakte. Hum toh khud.....

Tears rolled down her eyes. She harshly wiped it.

RIDDHIMA: Humari jesi ladki.....

PRITHVI, NEELA, ZALA, KIYAAN & ANGRE: Riddhima/Di....

All five shouted & others were shocked.

RIDDHIMA: Chilane se sach badal nahi jaega. Accept it aur kuch bhi kar lo iss sach ko kese badloge? Hain koi jawab?

Everyone were silent hearing her.

RIDDHIMA: Nahi hain na kyun ki yahi sach hain. Kuch bhi kar lo yeh sach nahi badlega & accept it.

Kiyaan, Angre, Prithvi & Zala sat with a thud on sofa being numb. She stomped towards her room. Siya placed hand on Kiyaan's shoulder breaking his trance & found that Riddhima was not there.

KIYAAN: Di kahan gae?

SIYA: Shayad apne room mein....

KIYAAN: Shit.....

Kiyaan ran towards her room making everyone confused. All too went behind him & reaching there they heard some sounds of breaking things as she was throwing things in anger.

KIYAAN & ANGRE: Di open the door Di....

KIYAAN: Di stop it. You'll hurt yourself.

In anger she threw a vase at the door making everyone flinch.

REHAAN: Kiyaan let's break the door.

KIYAAN: No Rehaan Di ne password se door lock kiya hain so we can't break it.

ARYAN: Koshish toh kar sakte hain na.

ANGRE: No koshish ki bhi toh karne wale ki jaan khatre mein aa sakti hain. She has designed this security system herself so it's impossible to break through it.

Inside she was throwing & breaking everything & anything that is coming in her hands.

KIYAAN & ANGRE: Di...

RIDDHIMA: Leave everyone otherwise will see my worst. Go away.....

She shouted on top of her lungs throwing an article towards door. All sighed & Kiyaan & Angre signalled everyone to move. Everyone left to hall of that floor.

PRITHVI: Yeh bachi kisi ki sunti kyun nahi hain?

All chuckled hearing him.

KIYAAN: Don't worry Mama Sa agar unhein zidd karni hain toh mujhe bhi aata hain baat manwana.

He said with a smirk & left for the room.

ANGRE: Ab yeh zaroor koi shaitani karega.

He said shaking his head in disbelief at his siblings who are at the stage of getting married to their love but sometimes behaves worse than the child of nursery going age.

SIYA: Sach keh rahe ho Angre Bhai, jab yeh ese smirk karte hain na tab zaroor inke khurafati dimaag mein kuch khichdi pakti hain. Yeh school time se ese hi hain.

Everyone giggled hearing her.
