RIDDHIMA: Hide me in you Ansh, I.... woh dar lag raha hain. I wanna feel you.

This words shocked everyone but she being innocent didn't knew what she spoke but Vansh understood his Jaan's fear. He just took her in his embrace & lied down but she pulled him on her hiding herself from world in his protective embrace & cooed herself in him entangling their legs & hugging him tight.

VANSH: Jaan aaj ese nahi sona baby, tumhein saans bhi nahi aaegi & abhi toh you felt breathless na Sweetheart.

He said fondling her hairs trying to make her understand but as if today his Jaan was being too stubborn.

RIDDHIMA: No no no.... I just want to feel safe. I won't go & neither let you go. Bahot dar lag raha hain Ansh please na...

Her chin wobbled which Vansh could feel & before she could cry he assured her.

VANSH: Okay okay as you say Jaan.

He said fondling her hairs. Kiyaan took comforter & covered them. Angre was going to speak something but Vansh signalled him to not to make noise as he could feel Riddhima's breathes going normal & soft indicating she is drifting to sleep. Everyone settled there & Siya sat side hugging Kiyaan & was seeing Riddhima with moist eyes. Angre & Rehaan thought to lighten the environment,

ANGRE: Charo love birds kaafi romantic ho gae nahi Rehaan.

REHAAN: Haan do ek dusre ko kas ke pakad ke so rahe hain...

ISHANI: Aur do ek dusre ko kas ke pakad ke bethe hue hain.

ARYAN: Dhyan rakhna we are singles too present here.

This made four of them giggle while Kiyaan & Siya blushed while Vansh was busy in making his girl sleep. After 10 minutes they saw that Vansh too drifted to sleep. Not wanting to disturb them they went to room & slept. Siya & Ishani on bed while others settled on couch & sofa. Next morning, elders waited for youngsters for breakfast but none showed. On asking Mrs. Dsouza they came to know that their morning drinks were also not asked for.

INDRANI: Lagta hain bache so rahe hain abhi tak.

NEELA: Indrani Ji Riddhima kabhi itni der tak nahi soti hain. Aur time ke hisaab se Kiyaan aur Angre bhi kaafi late hain.

AJAY: Haan Vansh loves to sleep par baaki toh uth gae honge.

CHANCHAL: Ajay Bhai aap sab betho hum dekh kar aate hain chaliye Bhabhi.

RUDRA: Chanchal let it be main aur Ajay Bhai jaate hain.

Chanchal smiled & nodded. Both brothers left to check on them. They first checked Siya & Ishani's room & found empty. Then they went to check on Rehaan & Aryan's room & found empty.

RUDRA: Ajay Bhai lagta hain saare neeche chale gae honge.

AJAY: Rudra tum jao neeche tab tak mein Kiyaan aur Angre ke rooms check kar leta hu. Because yeh saare uth gae honge toh Vansh aur Riddhima ko bhi utha diya hoga.

Rudra nodded & went. Ajay found rooms empty & he came to hall & saw that youngsters were not there.

AJAY: Bache nahi aae?

UMA: Aap dekh ne gae the na?

AJAY: Saare ke room toh khali hain.

RUDRA: Bhai aap ne Vansh aur Riddhima ke room mein check kiya?

ZALA: Oh god kae usse kuch hua na ho...

Hearing him all rushed to the room. They knocked but none responded as all were in deep slumber as they slept almost in the early morning. Not getting response they entered inside & found that Siya & Ishani were sleeping on bed, Kiyaan on round sofa that was in corner while Angre on couch. Rehaan & Aryan were sleeping on sofas & Riansh were missing. Uma checked both closets & bathrooms & found empty while Ajay went to balcony & found Vansh sleeping. Ajay caressed his head & asked.

AJAY: Vansh Riddhima kahan hain?

VANSH: She is sleeping hugging me.

He murmured in sleep making Ajay smile. Ajay went inside & saw that others were awake.

UMA: Ajay Vansh aur Riddhima kahan hain?

AJAY: Bahar balcony mein so rahe hain.

UMA: Yeh bache bhi na, kal raat ko weather kitna thanda ho gaya tha aur yeh dono bahar soe hue hain.

SIYA: Nahi Maa sab andar hi soe the par phir raat ko Di achanak se panick kar rahi thi aur unhein suffocation ho raha tha isiliye they went to balcony

KIYAAN: & Bhai hardly managed to make her sleep.

Youngsters face were pale which was noticed by elders so Prithvi asked.

PRITHVI: Bacho kya baat hain, aap sab ke chehre udaas kyun hain?

He asked while caressing Siya's head & not able to control more Siya hugged Prithvi & cried in his embrace.

SIYA: Mama Sa Di....

Everyone's eyes turned moist.

PRITHVI: Arrey arrey aaj humari beti ki aankho mein aansu woh bhi subhh subhah, kya baat hain beta bataiye humein hum hain na?

He said caressing Siya's hairs with fatherly love & consoled her. Siya broke the hug & Prithvi with moist eyes wiped her tears as he saw a glimpse of Jahnvi in her. She was hiccupping so first he made her drink water & then made her sit & himself sat beside her. Siya narrated everything that Zala shared breaking everyone. Indrani sat with a thud while Uma & Chanchal gasped in shock & continuous tears flowed down their eyes.

Hearing voices Riddhima snuggled to Vansh.

PRITHVI: Beta jo hua usse hum nahi badal sakte. Par agar hum Riddhima ke saamne tootenge toh woh khud ko nahi sambhal paegi. Humein unke liye strong rehna hoga beta.

Kiyaan hugged Uma & Chanchal & kissed their forehead.

KIYAAN: Aunty please sambhaliye khud ko, Di ke liye hi sahi, she needs us.

While Angre was consoling Indrani & Neela. Others were numb to react. After composing themselves & standing strong for each other they decided to wake the love birds who were sleeping in each other's arms.

UMA: Yahan toh sirf Vansh hain.

Youngsters giggled.

SIYA: Maa Di slept hugging Bhai hiding herself in his arms & owing to his height it's obvious we won't be able to see her.

Uma caressed Vansh's head.

UMA: Wake up Junior Raisinghania.

VANSH: Maa sone do na....

UMA: Wake up you sleepy head tumhari wajah se Riddhima ka breakfast bhi baki hain.

Hearing Riddhima's name his eyes shot open. Everyone chuckled seeing his reaction. Due to their voices Riddhima cribbed as her sleep was getting disturbed.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh.....

VANSH: Shh.. so jao koi nei.....

NEELA: Bacho chalo freshen up & come for breakfast. It's late already.

All elders left & youngsters stayed to tease them. Vansh again closed her eyes but Siya & Ishani snatched the comforter making him groan.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh... sone do na...

She again cribbed.

YOUNGSTERS: Rise & Shine love birds.....

They spoke in little high tone making them awake. They both opened their eyes cursing them for disturbing their sleep. First thing Vansh did was to peck Riddhima's forehead making her smile & she in returned kissed his cheek tight. All smiled seeing her happy & fresh. Rehaan ruffled her hairs.

REHAAN: Bhabhi chalo we are late for breakfast aap aur Bhai ready hoke aa jao.

She nodded with a smile & left to her bathroom. Siya & Ishani pounded on Vansh hugging him tight.

SIYA & ISHANI: Proud of you Bhai, love you so much.

Vansh laughed hearing them.

VANSH: Love you too meri princesses. Kya baat hain why so excited today?

Breaking the hug both sisters took his each hands in their hands,

SIYA: Bhai humesha Bhabhi se ese hi pyaar karna, care karna.

ISHANI: Humesha unhein ese hi pamper karna, respect karna.

All smiled hearing them & Vansh hugged them.

VANSH: Promise.

After getting ready all went to dining table & had hearty breakfast.

RIDDHIMA: You guys have tour of this property & I'll join you in a while.

She went to attend some calls & all did tour of the mansion. When they reached hall they saw that Riddhima came downstairs running. She came running & hugged Ishani tight.

RIDDHIMA: Congratulations Ishu......

She shouted. All were confused hearing her.

ISHANI: Bhabhi kis baat pe?

She broke the hug & cupped her face.

RIDDHIMA: Because my princess you are representing India at Milan Fashion Week this year.

All were shocked hearing the news. Riddhima twirled Ishani in happiness.

ISHANI: Bhabhi I matlab how????

RIDDHIMA: Woh I found your designs in my study & mailed it to the competition that was held at national level to select the representative & your designs got final. You not only topped India Ishu, you are representing it too.

Happy tears rolled down Riddhima's eyes & it was for Ishani. All hugged her & congratulated her. Ishani was still trying to process the recent information she got. Kiyaan ruffled Ishani's hairs breaking her trance.

ISHANI: Jiju....

KIYAAN: Kya hua kyun itna pareshaan ho?

ISHANI: Jiju it's a very big thing. I mean I'm still a not graduate too & representing India at that level is...

KIYAAN: Bas itni si baat. You'll nail it, we trust you, just keep confidence on you.

He said side hugging her. All admired their bond. Ishani checked her mail & social networking sites & saw that her name was trending. She was everywhere in news. After completing calls Riddhima mailed details to Ishani.

RIDDHIMA: Rehaan liked your gift.

REHAAN: Bhabhi I loved it. Thank you so much.

Riddhima nodded with a smile.

VANSH: Riddhu let's go.

Riddhima nodded.

RIDDHIMA: Aap sab enjoy kariye we are going at the down level as Vansh want to see the foundation & pillar structure of the mansion.

All nodded. Meanwhile Bob came with safety jackets & caps.

VANSH: Aap sab kya karoge tab tak?

KIYAAN: Bhai we were planning to go shopping par aap dono aa jao phir we'll go.

VANSH: Toh aap sab continue karo waise bhi after an hour I've a conference call.

RIDDHIMA: I'm also in no mood of shopping.

REHAAN: Bhai woh toh I'll handle it.

VANSH: Rehaan it's okay. Tu jaa enjoy kar sab ke saath.

REHAAN: Bhai...

VANSH: Rehaan responsibilities ke saath personal time bhi utna hi important hain. Go & enjoy yourself.

Rehaan nodded. Vansh & Riddhima went to downstairs to see the foundation & pillars while others went for shopping. They entered & saw that whole mall was empty.

ARYAN: Its's empty koi nahi hain.

KIYAAN: Di ne kiya hoga. Security reasons.

All nodded & went for shopping wherever they wished to. They all came back in the evening & saw that Vansh & Riddhima were discussing some architectural plans. Both were that engrossed that they even didn't realised their presence. Not wanting to disturb them they went to their rooms & came back after freshening up & a short nap at dinner time. Riddhima was the first to complete dinner. After dinner all except Kiyaan & Angre sat in garden enjoying while both brothers left to attend a conference call.

ZALA: Akshat Uncle kahan khoe hue ho?

AKSHAT: Beta soch raha tha Siya aur Rehaan ke gifts ke baare mein.

ZALA: Aap ki confusion mein dur karta hu. You know Uncle kehne ko Kiyaan aur Angre Yuvraaj hain teen raj parivaar ke aur world ke itne bade business empire ke owner toh woh toh kuch bhi afford kar sakte hain right?

All nodded.

ZALA: Par real mein esa nahin hain. Unke expenses ki limit Riddhima ne pehle se hi set kar ke rakhi hain. In Ananta Empire still they work under her as an employee. Esa nahi hain ki jo man mein aya le liya. Dono jitni mehnat karenge ussi hisaab se they'll get their income on their hands like an employee. Kiyaan ko cruise banwana tha & for it he worked hard day & night for that year & earned money. That year he didn't skipped a single day & sometimes toh he worked continuously day & nights for 2 - 3 days. Also he saved his money skipping holidays & shoppings for it. Same goes with Angre, jo gifts liye hain ussi se liye hain dono ne.

Everyone were shocked hearing this information.
