Riddhima called Kiyaan.

RIDDHIMA: Hello Kiyaan.

KIYAAN: Hi Di.

RIDDHIMA: Is Angre with you?

KIYAAN: Nahi Di woh main aur Siya pool khel rahe hain.

RIDDHIMA: Okay, hold on.

She took Angre in conference.

ANGRE: Hello Di.

RIDDHIMA: Hello Angre.

KIYAAN: Di anything important.

ANGRE: Kiyaan you.

RIDDHIMA: Woh I made a conference call. Actually I called you to inform you both that me & Vansh will come to Mansion tomorrow.

KIYAAN: It's Okay Di. Enjoy but you both take care of yourself.

ANGRE: Ya.

VANSH: Hello Kiyaan, Angre.

KIYAAN & ANGRE: Hello Bhai.

VANSH: I know that you both are worried for Riddhima's safety but trust me where I've taken her the place is totally safe. I'll not let her happen anything.

KIYAAN & ANGRE: We trust you Bhai.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan, Angre Vansh is right. We just want to live some quality time with each other. So don't take stress we are fine, safe & happy.

KIYAAN & ANGRE: Okay, you both enjoy. Bye.

RIDDHIMA & VANSH: Bye.

They cut the call. Then Vansh called Ajay.

VANSH: Hello Papa.

AJAY: Ya bolo beta.

VANSH: Papa mein aur Riddhima aaj bahar apna quality time spend karna chahte hain so...

AJAY: So you want to have a night out.

VANSH: Ya.

AJAY: Okay. As you both want but beta take care of her & yourself too.

VANSH: Yes. Thank you Papa.

AJAY: I want to talk to my daughter.

VANSH: She's here only.

AJAY: Put the phone on speaker.

Vansh put the phone on speaker.

VANSH: Papa I've kept the phone on speaker.

AJAY: Hii Riddhima.

RIDDHIMA: Hii Ajay Uncle.

AJAY: Beta see you both are having a night out & we don't have any problem with it but I want a promise in return from you.

RIDDHIMA: What promise Uncle?

AJAY: Beta it's a monsoon season & I want you to promise me that you won't take your health lightly. Take your food on time & your medicines too. Enjoyment is must & it should be there but not at the cost of health. Okay my child.

RIDDHIMA: Promise Uncle I'll take care of myself.

AJAY: That's like my good daughter.

RIDDHIMA: Ya & Uncle moreover till Vansh is there with me I don't need to think much about it.

VANSH: I'll always do it.

AJAY: Okay you both enjoy your moments. Bye.

VANSH & RIDDHIMA: Bye.

They cut the call.

VANSH: Jaan what you want to have for dinner? I'll make it for you.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh I want to eat street food on beach.

VANSH: Okay.

Both went to beach & sat there for sometime & enjoyed their evening. Riddhima called at orphanage & checked on Riya. Riya informed her that she is very happy & even Warden Mam had made her eat dinner & medicines too. Riddhima was feeling happy hearing her.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh I'm feeling hungry. Let's have dinner.

They had tried dahi puri & papdi chaat, dosa & chinese. After that they both went to their penthouse. Both went to their bedroom.

VANSH: Sweetheart I've arranged some clothes for us here. You can pick any comfy night wear.

Riddhima nodded & went to change. After she came Vansh went for change while Riddhima went to kitchen to prepare hot chocolate for both. Vansh came out & didn't find her so he called her.

VANSH: Sweetheart....

RIDDHIMA: Coming....

Vansh knew her very well that she'll sleep on hanging bed in balcony so he took comforter with him & settled there. On the otherside, Riddhima prepared hot chocolate & poured it in thermo flask & taking it she went to their room. She went to balcony & settled herself on hanging bed beside Vansh. Vansh covered her with comforter. Riddhima was staring at the beach which was clearly visible from her balcony.

VANSH: Enjoying sweetheart.

Riddhima looked in his eyes, smiled & hugged him tightly.

RIDDHIMA: Now enjoying.

Vansh smiled at her reply. Vansh was running his fingers on her black silky hairs & sometimes playing with her hairs too. Both were enjoying the nature. Silence prevailed for a while.

VANSH: Sweetheart what are you thinking so deeply?

RIDDHIMA: About Riya.

VANSH: But you talked to her na & she is happy & safe there.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh I can clearly understand her situation, woh orphanage ke baaki bacho se bahot alag hain. Wahan ke bacho ko apne Maa Baap ke baare mein kuch nahi pata aur jinhe pata hain unke Maa Baap iss duniya mein nahi hain. Par Riya ko toh apne Maa Baap, Parivaar ke baare mein pata bhi hain aur woh log zinda bhi hain. You know it's tough to tell yourself an orphan when you don't have anyone but when you have your blood relatives & till you have to live a life like an orphan is even worst than hell. You have everything but have nothing.

VANSH: Hmm. How much that little girl have gone through that she took a step to end her life? It's unimaginable. But I must say she is so strong.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh you know when I was of her age even I tried to commit suicide. I deliberately drank mosquito repellant liquid. But even there was no place for me on hell too (saying this she chuckled sadly). I didn't died but as in it's side effects I was vomiting everything I used to eat for near about week, my whole body was aching badly & my stomach was burning like a fire.

Hearing it tears started to flow from his eyes. He immediately took her upon him & took her in his protective embrace.

(Imagine their position, but here Vansh has holded Riddhima more tightly as if he will lose her. Ignore faces & background.)

But he knew that he had to be strong for his lady love so he thought to let her speak. Riddhima saw that how Vansh reacted, she felt loved. She was hearing his heartbeat which was so high due to fear.

VANSH: Jaan if you don't mind can I ask you something?

RIDDHIMA: Hmm.

VANSH: Sweetheart would you like to share why you did it?

RIDDHIMA: Vansh woh I was facing depression at that time. At that time I was just 13 years old. I faced something that I had to prove my dignity, my self respect, my character to them who gave me birth. The fact was I haven't done anything but still I had to prove myself innocent & that too to them. You know Vansh I drank the mosquito repellent liquid at night but I didn't died. I never told anyone about it because I was having nothing to live. I got side effects but I didn't let anyone come to know about it while they didn't tried to know.

VANSH: Anyone knows about this?

RIDDHIMA: I told to Maa & Papa. Zala Uncle also knows about it as he is my doctor. My psychiatrist also knows about it but now she does not remember anything regarding me or my treatment, so technically only Zala Uncle knows. I've told not to inform anyone because you know if Dada, Nana, Kiyaan aur Angre would come to know they will be hurt. Aur Maa, Papa ke jaane ke baad toh I had made sure ki Kiyaan aur Angre ko mere past ke baare mein kabhi pata na chale warna woh toot jaenge.

All this while Vansh was running his long fingers on her head & peppering kisses on her crown to make her feel protected, cared & loved. Riddhima got down as she was on him then took the flask & opened it & forwarded it to Vansh.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh let's have this hot chocolate.

Vansh smiled & nodded. He took a sip & then made Riddhima take a sip.

RIDDHIMA: Now it's tasty (saying this she winked at him 😉).

VANSH: Ohhhh. So my sweetheart loves to flirt right.

Riddhima just giggled. Both enjoyed their hot chocolate feeding each other.

RIDDHIMA: Thank you Vansh for listening me, for not judging me.

Vansh kissed her forehead.

VANSH: Jaan I'll always hear you the same way I did in past & now. You know I believe that we should never judge someone because we have never walked in their shoes. There's always a substantial & definite reasons for the people as the way they are. Infact I should thank you. Thank you so much Riddhu that you gave this much importance to me, that you shared yourself with me, that you trusted me. I know for you trusting someone, sharing yourself with someone is difficult but you did with me.

Riddhima nodded with a smile.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh how's your real estate business going on?

VANSH: We are doing great Riddhu infact we are coming with 5 new projects in Mumbai. We'll start to work on it after this trip.

RIDDHIMA: Last projects of Jaipur & Udaipur's status?

VANSH: Those projects are almost completed. Just some last minute works.

RIDDHIMA: Okay.

PRECAP: Riddhima confesses her feelings to Vansh.

Stay tuned!!! 😉😉😉
