At night Vansh was not feeling sleepy so he came to check on Kiyaan & found that Riddhima is working on iPad.

VANSH: Jaan you didn't slept yet.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh aap...

VANSH: Woh I was not feeling sleepy so thought to check Kiyaan. But why are you awake?

RIDDHIMA: Lots of work are pending. Also I was not feeling sleepy so thought to complete it.

All of a sudden rain started.

VANSH: Jaan I guess you should wear full sleeves. It's raining outside & weather is cool too. You'll catch cold.

RIDDHIMA: Mmm.... At top floor in my room in my closet there will be shrugs. Will you please get that?

VANSH: Sure.

Vansh went & came with shrug.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh please help kar dijiye.

Vansh helped her in wearing shrug. While doing it he found that Riddhima's back was swollen a bit where she was shot by bullet. After helping her he sat behind her, moved her hair aside & kissed on her back where she was injured. Due to his this action shiver ran down through Riddhima's spine.

VANSH: Get well soon sweetheart.

Saying this he kissed on back of her head & took her in his embrace. Riddhima blushed due to his actions. She didn't spoke anything.

VANSH: Jaan are you comfortable, I mean...

Riddhima took her palm & kissed him there & leaned on his chest.

RIDDHIMA: I like you Vansh...

VANSH: I like you too Sweetheart...

Silence prevailed for a while as both were watching the rain which was pouring heavily.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh ek baat puchu?

VANSH: Hmmm...

RIDDHIMA: You kissed me on my back after making me wear shrug, why?

VANSH: I know Jaan you need time to take things forward in our relationship & I'm totally happy with it. That kiss was meant to take all your pain which you feel due to that injury & to convey that your man is always with you.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh your hugs make me feel safe, your warmth makes me feel comfortable, your kisses makes me feel loved, your cuddles makes me feel heaven & your love energises my soul. It's magical how your love, affection & a little bit of pampering makes me forget my every pain & makes me smile from the bottom of my heart. Promise me Vansh you'll never leave me 🥺🥺🥺😢.

Tears brimmed in Riddhima's eyes. Vansh was dumbstruck by the way she expressed her emotions. His eyes brimmed with tears & he just holded her so close to him as much as he could.

VANSH: Jaan I just don't have any words to describe my feelings right now. I promise you Sweetheart I'll always be with you not only in this life but in coming lives too.

Both remained in each other's embrace so close to each other. After sometime Vansh broke the silence.

VANSH: You know Jaan I'm the luckiest person in this world.

RIDDHIMA: Why so?

VANSH: Because I'm yours.

Riddhima smiled.

RIDDHIMA: Siya is so strong na Vansh, the way she is taking all the things. When Zala Uncle took out the bandage from his head she was really scared for him seeing him like that but she didn't break instead supports Kiyaan.

VANSH: Hmm. I never knew that our little princess grew so fast. Both love each other so much. I still remember how she used to walk holding my fingers with her tiny ones. How she used to blabber when she was learning to speak. Her childhood, teenage everything. I'm happy that she got such a loving partner like Kiyaan but otherside my heart just breaks into pieces thinking that she'll leave me after getting married.

Saying this tears rolled down from his eyes wetting Riddhima's shoulder.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh...

VANSH: Jaan I can't live without my princess. Why girls need to leave their house after getting married?

Riddhima was having no words to say. She just came out of his arms & made him sit in front of her. Then she signalled with her eyes to lay down keeping his head in her lap. Vansh did what she told. Riddhima was stroking his hairs which was calming down his inner turmoil. He just hugged her from waist & hot tears rolled down his eyes. Her heart too ached seeing him like this. She just kissed his hairs. Don't know when sleep engulfed both. Early morning Angre was the first to wake up & he saw that Kiyaan was sleeping with Siya keeping her head on his chest. Vansh sleeping laying down keeping his head in Riddhima's lap. He just smiled & went to complete his morning chores. After sometime Kiyaan also woke up & was admiring Siya who was sleeping keeping her head on his chest. Angre saw him & thought to tease him.

ANGRE: Don't stare my Bhabhi like this Kiyaan.

Kiyaan blushed hearing him.

ANGRE: Oh my god. Kiyaan Kapoor, I mean the Kiyaan Kapoor is blushing. It should be the headlines of today's news.

Kiyaan glared at him but Angre smirked. Kiyaan just rolled his eyes & seeing him like this Angre chuckled & started doing work on his iPad. After sometime Siya too woke up cutely rubbing her eyes.

KIYAAN: Good Morning Cutie.

SIYA: Good Morning Buddy.

Siya's eyes went to Riddhima & Vansh & seeing them like this she smiled. After that she went to bathroom & came getting ready. Till then Vansh & Riddhima were awake. All did breakfast. Ajay & Rudra helped Kiyaan in walking. Riddhima & Siya helped him in exercise.

Three days passed like this. Today Prithvi & Neela were going back to Bikaner but before that they handed a file to Riddhima, blessing the new couples & wishing elders & telling them to visit Bikaner they left.

All were taking great care of Kiyaan. Soon days passed & it was Kiyaan's next surgery. Riddhima was sitting in waiting room watching live gulping alcohol & puffing cigarettes. The surgery took almost 4 hours to complete. Zala came out & Riddhima too.

ZALA: Don't worry everyone, Kiyaan is all well.

Riddhima just nodded.

RIDDHIMA: Uncle kuch ho toh call kijiye ga. I'm on top floor.

ZALA: Riddhima...

But she didn't listened & walked away.

ANGRE: Di... Di...

But alas she didn't responded to anyone. Alcohol bottle in one hand, cigarette in other hand, red eyes screaming some unknown emotions. This was her state when she left the medical area.

ANGRE: Zala Uncle kuch hua hain kya Riddhima Di kyun itna pareshaan hain aur aap wajah jante hain please bataiye.

ZALA: Angre waqt do usko khud sab thik ho jaega.

All were waiting in medical area only waiting for Kiyaan to gain consciousness. After near about 2 hours he got his consciousness back. Doctors checked him & everyone met him.

KIYAAN: Di ab toh main thik ho gaya hoon, ab aap...

ZALA: Beta you are improving, abhi bhi tum kuch esa nahi karoge jisse tumhein stress aae physically bhi aur emotionally bhi. You need to follow particular routine, healthy diet & exercise to get well.

KIYAAN: How many more days Uncle?

ZALA: Will depend on your improvement.

KIYAAN: Okay.

RIDDHIMA: Aaraam karo Kiyaan mujhe Ananta Office mein kuch kaam hain aati hoon baad mein.

KIYAAN: Vardhan ko saath leke jaiye.

Riddhima nodded.

ANGRE: Kiyaan tumhein Di ko nahi jaane de na chahiye tha.

KIYAAN: Bahot pareshaan hain aur khoi khoi si hain isiliye na.

ANGRE: Hmm...

Kiyaan just chuckled.

KIYAAN: Naah... she is fear stricken. Puri duniya RS ke naam se dar ti hain socho agar ussi RS ko kisi cheez ka dar ho toh uss dar ka kad kitna bada hoga. Par ab bas unhein us dar ko harana hoga, aaj tak woh humare liye ladti aae hain Angre par aaj unhein khud se ladna hoga uss dar ko harana hoga. Let her do whatever she wants till I get fit & fine.

ANGRE: Kya chal raha hain aap dono ke beech. Woh dar rahi hain tum panick kar rahe ho, woh kuch bolti nahi hain aur tum hidden meaning ke saath baate karte ho. What's going on?

KIYAAN: Ek baat bolu tum samajh jao toh samajh lo. Woh jis cheez se humein door rakhti aae hain aaj wahi cheez saamne aake khadi ho gae hain.

Vansh & Angre understood what he's trying to say. Both were shocked.

VANSH & ANGRE: Her past (in unison)

Others were shocked seeing their reaction.

KIYAAN: Haan unka past.

Vansh sat down on sofa with a thud. He rubbed his forehead with his fingers.

VANSH: Shit...

ANGRE: How?

KIYAAN: It's not the question Angre the question is who?

ANGRE: Game time?

KIYAAN: Yup bro. Har kisi ki baari aae gi, aaj tak Di ne humein protect kiya hain ab humari baari. Unn saro ka hisaab chukta karna hain jo Di ke takleef aur ansuo ki wajah hain. Aur Kiyaan Kapoor kisi ka karz nahi rakhta sud samet chukata hain.

Angre & Zala chuckled.

ZALA: Kiyaan Kapoor is back.

KIYAAN: No Uncle brother of RS is back.
