VANSH: Riddhu it's almost your brunch time. Chalo first you have something.

RIDDHIMA: No Vansh. I'm full. I drank thandai with Ajay Uncle woh bhi full glass.

VANSH: Okay. Then just have a handful of dry fruits.

RIDDHIMA: Okay.

Vansh & Riddhima went to kitchen. Vansh gave her a handful of dry fruits & she finished it. Then both went outside & joined them. When they came they saw that all were playing with water. Vansh dragged Riddhima there. All enjoyed Holi to the fullest till lunch time. After that all went to their room, took shower & got ready & came for lunch. After lunch Riddhima went to her room. She messaged Kiyaan, Angre & Vansh to come to her room.

Trio reached her room.

KIYAAN: What happened Di?

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan woh I'm feeling muscle soreness, sleepy & a bit dizzy too.

VANSH: From when Riddhu?

RIDDHIMA: After lunch.

ANGRE: Mein abhi Zala Uncle ko call karta hoon.

Angre called Zala while Vansh made her sleep. Kiyaan & Vansh were sitting on her both side taking her hand in their hand.

ANGRE: Hello Zala Uncle.

ZALA: Hi Angre.

ANGRE: Uncle Di is having muscle soreness, sleepiness & dizziness.

ZALA: Anything else.

Riddhima nodded in no.

ANGRE: No Uncle.

ZALA: It's post panic attack effects. She just needs rest. Check her heart rate & call me if these symptoms continues even after an hour.

ANGRE: Okay.

They cut the call. Kiyaan sat beside her & took her head in his lap while Angre holded her hand.

ANGRE: Di take rest. Everything is normal. It's just post effect okay. Don't take stress.

Riddhima nodded & closed her eyes. While Kiyaan was stroking her hairs. All the three boys eyes were teary. All were just trying to be strong for her. That one hour passed like a hell for three of them. An hour passed but she was in deep slumber. Angre stood up & checked her heart rate which was normal.

Vansh holded her hand tightly in his both hands & kept it on his forehead. He was not able to control more. After sometime Riddhima opened her eyes & saw that her three lifelines were sitting with her.

ANGRE: Di how are you feeling now?

RIDDHIMA: Better.

VANSH: Riddhu you freshen up & come. I'll get juice for you.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh I want to have pineapple juice.

VANSH: Okay.

Vansh went to get pineapple juice for her. She went to freshen up. Angre shook Kiyaan.

ANGRE: Kiyaan handle yourself. Di is fine.

The tears which Kiyaan was holding from past one hour flowed down 😢😢😭. He just stood up & went to his room. Riddhima came out after freshening up.

ANGRE: Di how are you still having muscle soreness, dizziness or sleepiness?

RIDDHIMA: No Angre. I'm feeling absolutely normal now. But where did Kiyaan went?

ANGRE: Di he went to freshen up & I also told him to take rest too.

RIDDHIMA: Don't lie. Call him here. Go.

Angre nodded & went. Till then Vansh came with pineapple juice for her.

VANSH: Riddhu have this.

RIDDHIMA: Thank you.

Riddhima drank the juice. Till then Angre & Kiyaan came.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan come sit here in front of me.

Kiyaan nodded & sat.

RIDDHIMA: Look into my eyes Kiyaan.

Kiyaan shook her head in no. Riddhima cupped his face & lifted up. His eyes were red due to crying. Seeing into her eyes he just hugged her & was sobbing 😭😭😭.

RIDDHIMA: Bacha please don't cry. You know na I can't see you like this. Shhh.. please shaant ho jao 😢😢😢.

KIYAAN: Di pichli baar bhi aapki health in attacks ki wajah se bigdi thi.

RIDDHIMA: Shhh.. bacha please don't cry. Nothing will happen to me.

After several attempts she made him calm. Giving them their own time Angre & Vansh went from there.

VANSH: Angre take a nap. You'll be tired too.

ANGRE: You too Vansh Bhai.

Both went to their respective rooms. Kiyaan & Riddhima had their own bro sis time. Time passed & it was dinner time. Everyone came. Siya came to call Riddhima to her room & saw that Kiyaan was sleeping keeping his head in her lap.

SIYA: What happened to Kiyaan Di?

RIDDHIMA: Nothing Siya. He has a habit to sleep in my lap.

SIYA: I understand Di. He might be missing Jahnvi Aunty & Shekhar Uncle. He was habituated to sleep in his mom's lap.

Riddhima nodded & smiled 🙂.

SIYA: Di it's dinner time.

RIDDHIMA: Siya can you please send our dinner here.

Siya nodded & went.

UMA: Siya didn't you called Riddhima & Kiyaan.

SIYA: Maa Kiyaan is sleeping. So she asked to send their dinner in her room only.

UMA: Is everything okay with both of them Siya?

SIYA: Haan Maa it's just that Kiyaan is sleeping keeping his head in Di's lap. Also I think he was missing Jahnvi Aunty & Shekhar Uncle today so I thought to give them their privacy & didn't bothered them.

UMA: It's Okay. I'll myself go & give them their dinner.

SIYA: Okay Maa.

CHANCHAL: Bhabhi mein bhi aap ko help kar deti hoon.

Uma nodded. They both prepared trolley for them & went to Riddhima's room.

UMA: Can we come in beta?

RIDDHIMA: Aunty please come.

Uma & Chanchal came with a food trolley.

RIDDHIMA: Aunty aap ne takleef kyun uthae, kisi ke haatho bhijwa deti.

CHANCHAL: Bacho ke liye Maa ko takleef kabhi nahi hoti beta 😊.

Uma caressed Kiyaan's hair.

UMA: Kiyaan beta utho?

But he snuggled more in Riddhima's lap. All the three ladies smiled 😊.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan bache utho. (while ruffling his hairs)

KIYAAN: Di please... 🥺🥺🥺 (whining like a child).

RIDDHIMA: Bacha it's time for dinner. Dinner karlo baad mein so jaana. Utho varna mein bhi nahi khaungi.

Kiyaan woke up hearing her. He saw that Uma & Chanchal was also there.

KIYAAN: Good Evening Aunty.

UMA & CHANCHAL: Good Evening Beta.

UMA: Go & freshen up. Dinner ready hain.

Kiyaan nodded & went.

CHANCHAL: Bhabhi aap dono ko khila dijiye. Mein niche jaati hoon.

Uma nodded. Kiyaan came.

UMA: Chalo Kiyaan yaha aake beth jao.

Kiyaan sat beside Riddhima. Uma made a food plate, made a morsel & forwarded to them.

UMA: Chalo ab khana khalo.

KIYAAN: Aunty aap takleef mat lijiye. Aap ka bhi dinner baki hain. Aap sab ke saath beth kar kha lijiye.

UMA: Maa tab tak khana kese khae jab uske bacho ne na khaya ho?

Saying this she made both of them eat. Both's eyes were teary seeing the motherly love they were getting.

Uma wiped their tears.

UMA: Don't cry beta. You trio are also the children of this family no different then Siya, Ishani, Vansh, Aryan & Rehaan.

Hearing this Riddhima & Kiyaan hugged her tightly 😇🥰.

RIDDHIMA & KIYAAN: Thank you.

Uma broke the hug wiped their tears & made them eat food with her own hands.

UMA: Beta humesha yaad rakhna ki tum teeno akele nahi ho. Hum sab tumhari family hain.

Riddhima & Kiyaan nodded.

UMA: Chalo ab mein chalti hoon. Kuch kaam ho ya kuch chahiye ho toh bolna.

RIDDHIMA: Ji Aunty.

Uma went while Kiyaan again slept in Riddhima's lap. After dinner Ajay was going for a walk.

VANSH: Papa I want to come with you.

AJAY: Sure.

They went for a walk.

AJAY: Vansh Is everything okay with Riddhima?

VANSH: Hmm.

AJAY: She was looking pale today.

VANSH: She had a panic attack last night.

AJAY: What? But why?

VANSH: I can't share it with you Papa because I've already promised her that our moments will be within us only.

AJAY: I understand. Is she fine now because she & Kiyaan didn't came for dinner?

VANSH: Woh she was feeling sleepy, dizzy & was having muscle soreness after lunch which was post effects of the panic attacks. But now she is fine. Also the day was emotional today for trio as they were missing Maa & Papa. Also Kiyaan was stressed & was emotional too as in past her health deteriorated due to these attacks. So they both needed their own time.

AJAY: My daughter is very strong. Nothing will happen to her.

VANSH: Thank you Papa. Today you healed her unknowingly & it gave her much happiness. She played Holi on your saying.

AJAY: I can do anything for her. She is just like Siya & Ishani. I'm proud of your choice Vansh.

VANSH: Thank you Papa for everything.

AJAY: Vaise I know I'm the coolest Dad ever.

VANSH: Ya who helped his son in his love story. Papa you know that day I was so stressed that how will I manage everything. But then an idea came to my mind & rest is history.
