Vansh was watching her retreating figure. She went to bar, taking bottle of whiskey, she went to her room. As usual she slept gulping alcohol & smoking cigarettes, but tonight some of her scars got freshened up & on the other hand spending time with Vansh made her feel peaceful too. Vansh also went to his room & was sleeping with the thoughts of Riddhima.

VANSH: Kya ho tum Riddhima? Log kehte hain tum heartless, ruthless aur cold ho par mein nahi manta, tum emotionless toh nahi ho. Aaj tumhari aankhon mein ek dard, ek khaalipan sa dekha hain.

Thinking about Riddhima don't know when sleep engulfed him.

At 6:00 am in the morning, Riddhima woke up & ordered Mrs. Dsouza for lime water. She completed her morning routine & went for gym whereas after 5 minutes Kiyaan also joined her in gym.

RIDDHIMA: Good morning Kiyaan.

KIYAAN: Good morning Di.

While discussing about business they were doing their workout. They discussed about yesterday's meetings & Riddhima informed him about the progress of work in the matter of Russian Mafia. Then they both talked with Angre. With these they completed their gym workout.

After that they went in garden for jogging. After completing jogging Riddhima ordered Mrs. Dsouza to bring coffee for her & Kiyaan in gazebo.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan come let's have our coffee in gazebo. I want to talk with you something important.

KIYAAN: Sure Di.

They reached gazebo & took rest for a while. Mrs. Dsouza came & served coffee to them & went away.

KIYAAN: Di aapko kuch baat karni thi. What's the matter?

RIDDHIMA: It's personal Kiyaan. It's related to you.

KIYAAN: Di aap ka mujh par pura haq hain. Aap ke aur Angre ke alawa mera hain hi kon iss duniya mein.

Saying this he kept his head in her lap. Both were emotional. Riddhima started stroking his hairs.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan tum Siya ko kese jaante ho?

KIYAAN: Di we are school friends. We were together till class 10th. She was my best friend. But due to that incident we left that place forever. After that we lost contact. Uske baad to aap janti hain Di.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan Siya is a pure soul. Never ever hurt her.

KIYAAN: Woh hurt ho kisi baat se yeh khayal bhi mein bardasht nahi kar pata, then how can I hurt her? Di I've already promised her that I'll never leave her alone, I'll always be in contact with her.

RIDDHIMA: Yes, you better fulfill it, otherwise she is a sherni who has the audacity to shut the mouth of the business tycoon Mr. Kiyaan Kapoor & Devil Delta, the mafia.

Kiyaan chuckled hearing this.

RIDDHIMA: Come on go & get ready & come for breakfast.

Kiyaan nodded. He got up from her lap & hugged her.

KIYAAN: Thank you. Di I love you.

RIDDHIMA: I love you too Kiyaan.

She broke the hug, lovingly cupped his face & kissed him on his head.

RIDDHIMA: Come.

They both went to their respective rooms to get ready.

AT DINING AREA OF ANANTA MANSION, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

Riddhima came first & sat on her chair. Meanwhile Raisinghanias & Kiyaan came except Vansh.

RIDDHIMA: Good Morning everyone.

RAISINGHANIAS: Good Morning Miss Sisodiya.

RIDDHIMA: Aap sab mujhe Riddhima keh ke bula sakte hain.

Everyone smiled & nodded at her. Meanwhile Vansh came & sat there.

VANSH: Good Morning Riddhima, Good Morning Kiyaan.

RIDDHIMA & KIYAAN: Good Morning Vansh.

Meanwhile Mrs. Dsouza came with breakfast.

MRS. DSOUZA: Mam aaj breakfast Vansh Sir ne banaya hain. I told that I will make it but he insisted to cook.

UMA: Its okay Mrs. Dsouza humare ghar pe breakfast Vansh, Aryan aur Rehaan hi banate hain.

RIDDHIMA: Its okay Mrs. Dsouza.

Mrs. Dsouza served the breakfast with the help of servants. In breakfast there was Aloo ke Parathe, Fruit Raita, Sandwiches & Fruit Juice. Riddhima seeing Aloo ke Parathe & Fruit Raita smiled 🙂. Vansh saw this & became happy 😊 to see her smiling. She became emotional too because till now no one except Angre & Kiyaan took care of her. Her corner of eyes became wet, which was noticed by Vansh. She took a bite of Paratha with Raita.

RIDDHIMA: Thank you so much Vansh. It's delicious. 😊😊😊

VANSH: My Pleasure Riddhima. 😊😊😊

Kiyaan was shocked due to Riddhima's behaviour but was happy seeing her happy.

Riddhima happily enjoyed the breakfast which was prepared by her friend & Vansh observed her all through the breakfast. Everyone completed their breakfast.

VANSH: So everyone attention please. I want everyone's time for today. I've planned today's day with some activities.

RAISINGHANIAS: Okay.

VANSH: Riddhima, Kiyaan what about you both?

RIDDHIMA: We'll join.

VANSH: Okay. That's great.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan clear today's schedule.

KIYAAN: Okay.

VANSH: Riddhima will you be able to play basketball, because you have injury on your arm so?

RIDDHIMA: I'm fine Vansh.

VANSH: So 1st we'll play basketball. So everyone go & get ready. Let's meet in hall in half an hour.

Everyone left to their rooms & came in half an hour after getting ready. Meanwhile Vansh had already arranged the basketball court. So coming to the court they decided captains of team as Vansh & Riddhima. Both Vansh & Riddhima decided to select their team. So Riddhima's team members were Uma, Rudra, Siya, Aryan & Akshat. Vansh's team members were Ajay, Chanchal, Rehaan, Kiyaan & Ishani. Indrani did not wanted to play basketball so she decided to manage score board.

VANSH: So guys let's play this game with a little twist. After every goal, the team can remove the opponent team's one player. At last the team which will have more points will win.

RIDDHIMA: Interesting, very interesting. Let's start the match then.

All started to play the game. 1st goal was done by Riddhima's team & they removed Rehaan from Vansh's team. 2nd goal was done by Vansh's team & they removed Aryan, 3rd goal was again done by Vansh's team & they removed Rudra. 4th goal was done by Riddhima's team & they removed Ajay. 5th goal was done by Riddhima's team & they removed Chanchal. Similarly game went on & at last there were Riddhima & Vansh & the score was equal. Both were giving tough fight to each other. But while playing Riddhima's hand touched Vansh due to which he felt shiver down in his spine & he got lost in her beauty, Riddhima did the goal. All this while everyone were hooting & cheering up their captains. As Riddhima did the goal, Indrani started blowing whistle & Vansh came out of his dream land.

INDRANI: So the winners are Riddhima & her team. Riddhima was smiling 🙂 while her team members were hooting & hugging her. Seeing all these two persons' heart were fluttering in happiness - Vansh & Kiyaan. After that everyone took a rest for 10 - 15 minutes & enjoyed lemon water.

VANSH: So guys do you all enjoyed?

EVERYONE: Very much.

VANSH: Great. So everyone freshen up & come in hall in an hour. Then we will go with our next activities.

EVERYONE: Okay.

All dispersed to their room & after freshening up came to hall. Vansh was the first to come. He was waiting for everyone. Riddhima came downstairs. She was wearing this:

Vansh was lost in her beauty. Riddhima came & sat on sofa.

VANSH: Congratulations for winning the match Riddhima. 🙂

RIDDHIMA: Thank you Vansh. 🙂

Siya, Ishani, Rehaan, Aryan & Kiyaan came. They all were chit chatting. Suddenly Siya spoke to Riddhima

SIYA: Kiyaan aap ko Di kehta hain, toh kya mein bhi aap ko di bula sakti hoon?

Riddhima smiled & nodded.🙂

REHAAN, ARYAN & ISHANI: Toh kya hum bhi aap ko di bula sakte hain?

Riddhima again smiled & nodded. 🙂

Elders came & joined them.

ISHANI: What's next Vansh Bhai?

VANSH: Let's play indoor games.

All went to 1st underground floor where all indoor games were placed. There was pool table, ping pong table, foosball, darts, air hockey, shuffleboard, pinball, arcade basketball, video games, skee ball, carrom bubble hockey, arcade game machine & football field beer pong table. There were sofas, chairs, & low beds for seating. All started enjoying the games. Kiyaan & Riddhima were happily pulled by Raisinghanias turn by turn to play games with them. Both were enjoying these feelings, warmth & love of family as they are foreign to them. After playing while they went for lunch. They completed their lunch & went to hall & settled themselves on sofas. Kiyaan layed down keeping his head in the lap of Riddhima, as today he was missing his parents & Angre too. Riddhima smiled & started stroking his hairs lovingly & kissed his forehead. She can feel his pain, so she thought to divert his mind.
