Next morning it was 4:00 am & Riddhima woke up & went to get ready. She came out taking shower wearing bathrobe & decided to wake up Vansh. She ruffled his hairs.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh....

He woke up hearing her voice & found her beautiful fresh morning face. He smiled & pecked her forehead making her smile.

RIDDHIMA: Good Morning...

VANSH: Good Morning...

RIDDHIMA: Aap ready ho jao we are leaving for Kapoor Mansion.

Vansh nodded & left to do his morning chores. She on the otherside got ready wearing a red saree & wore bangles that Vansh had gifted her on one hand & on other the bracelet which she has never removed after Vansh made her wear on the day they decided to give each other chance. Vansh came out & seeing her his breath hitched, his heart skipped a beat. He came & stood behind her & back hugged her.

VANSH: Jaan you're making me lose my senses, looking so gorgeous.

(Imagine Riddhima in this saree).

She blushed hearing his words. She forwarded the locket that's having their picture.

RIDDHIMA: Pehna do...

VANSH: You sure this will go with your saree....

RIDDHIMA: I'm going to wear other neck piece that goes with this saree but on the same time I don't want to remove this locket from my neck even for a single day. 

Vansh nodded & pecking her head made her wear that locket & the neck piece too. 

RIDDHIMA: Aap ready hoke aa jao tab tak I'm downstairs kitchen se kuch samaan lena hain will make breakfast for you there.

VANSH: You sure, otherwise we can pick it from outside.

RIDDHIMA: No I'm gonna make it for you. 

VANSH: Acha kapde nikal do.

Riddhima nodded & went to her closet & took out red kurta with white bottoms, his handkerchief, watch, their engagement ring & placed it nicely on bed. Then she took out his footwear too. Going down to kitchen she collected some ingredients & placed it in basket & went taking it in hall. Soon Vansh too came & both left to Kapoor Mansion. The ride was silent but comfortable. Riddhima's one hand was holded by Vansh & he was rubbing his thumb slowly on her knuckles telling her that he's there for her. After sometime she wrapped her one hand around his bicep & kept her head there. Reaching there security seeing Riddhima opened the gates & they went inside. Riddhima holded Vansh's hand & both together stepped inside the mansion. 

RIDDHIMA: Vansh aap betho mein breakfast bana deti hu.

VANSH: I'll accompany you, will do it together.

She nodded with a smile & both went to kitchen.

RIDDHIMA: Kya banaenge?

RIDDHIMA: Aloo ke Parathe, achaar hain aur saath mein whatever you prefer juice, tea or coffee.

Vansh nodded. Both cooked the breakfast together & made each other eat. 

VANSH: Jaan you have your time, I'll clean the kitchen & utensils.

RIDDHIMA: No need Vansh staff kar denge, come.

Vansh nodded. Both went to Shekhar & Jahnvi's room. Reaching there she closed the door & stood infront of their photo. Vansh didn't wanted to disturb her so just sat on the couch. She was standing there admiring them & letting her fears, tears & emotions flow out. On the otherside, Kiyaan & Angre woke up early & went to check on Riddhima but found a note on their dressing.

Kiyaan, Angre

I know tum dono aaoge to check on me. I'm fine bacha but just need my time. I'm going to Kapoor Mansion with Vansh so don;t panic aur sab ready rakhna I'll be back soon.

Riddhima

KIYAAN: Angre chal hum chalte hain Kapoor Mansion yahan sab hain woh sambhal lenge.

ANGRE: No Kiyaan tu bhi janta hain hum wahan apne aap ko sambhal nahi paenge, iss waqt humein Di ki takat ban na hain unki kamzori nahi.  

KIYAAN: Par Angre....

ANGRE: Vansh Bhai hain unke saath woh sambhal lenge. Dekh it's the first time ki woh akele mission pe jaa rahi hain, we have no idea kya hain, kyun hain, kis ke saath hain, kahan hain. Also we have no powers or contacts ki hum pata kar pae. Hum gae toh its true ki hum nahi sambhaal paenge khud ko which will result in deterioration of our health. Aur tu janta hain how much she loves us & she won't be able to focus on mission neither she will abort it. 

Kiyaan got his point & nodded. Both went to get ready & came downstairs to check everything & found Neela supervising everything while Prithvi was sitting in hall.

PRITHVI: Bacho yeh sab achanak kyun?

KIYAAN: Nahi pata Mama Sa. 

Prithvi nodded. Others too came down, seeing Siya Kiyaan told,

KIYAAN: Siya pagh bandh do.

Siya nodded & went to their room & came with a pagh for Kiyaan & Angre. First she tied to Kiyaan & then to Angre. 

ISHANI: Siya Di aap par yeh lehenga bahot acha lag raha hain.

SIYA: Thank you Ishu yeh Maa ka hain Kiyaan leke aae hain.

Ishani nodded. 

UMA: Vansh aur Riddhima kahan hain?

ANGRE: Aunty woh dono aa jaenge hum breakfast kar lete hain.

Both brothers well tensed & none asked respecting their privacy. Kiyaan & Angre half heartedly had breakfast & till then pandit ji came from Sisodiya Empire & Granthi too came. 

NEELA: Siya beta aaj rituals tak aap ko sar pe pallu rakhna hoga. Aap ke liye naya hain isiliye kuch pins leke aaiye hum laga dete hain, aap ke liye asaan hoga. 

Siya nodded & came with pins & Neela nicely pinned pallu on her head. 

PANDIT JI: Yuvraj pooja mein kaun kaun beth ne wala hain?

ANGRE: Mama Sa, Mami Sa, Kiyaan, Siya, Di, Bhai aur mein.

PANDIT JI: Raj Mata aap ko shagun ki nishaniyan pehn kar bethna hain aur nae jodo ko bhi.

Neela & Siya nodded. 

PANDIT JI: Aur talwaar aur katar????

KIYAAN: Sab aa gaya hain.

On the otherside at Kapoor Mansion Riddhima was crying bitterly infront of Jahnvi & Shekhar. Vansh took her in his embrace,

VANSH: Bas Jaan bahot ho gaya you'll spoil your health baby.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh pl...please leave me alone for sometime.

She pleaded & Vansh unwillingly gave her space & left the room.

RIDDHIMA: Maa, Papa aaj bahot yaad aa rahi hain aap ki. Aaj pehli baar mission pe akele jaa rahi hu bacho ke bina. Mujhe nahi pata mein wapas laut paungi bhi ya nahi, Kiyaan aur Angre pe apne ashirwad banae rakhna, unhein khush rakhna, safe rakhna. 

She said while crying infront of them. Talking her heart out, she laid down on bed clutching their frame in which all were happily smiling & laughing, their family photo. It was time for puja so Kiyaan called Vansh.

KIYAAN: Bhai aap aur Di ghar aa jao puja ka time ho raha hain.

VANSH: Okay.

Vansh went inside & his heart churned seeing her in that painful state. He sat beside her & caressed her head.

VANSH: Puja ka time ho raha hain Riddhu.

Riddhima nodded. She sat straight & kissed that picture & wiping the tears on frame with her pallu she kept it safely in the cupboard. She stood infront of the photo of Shekhar & Jahnvi & joined her heads & spoke with shaky voice while sobbing.

RIDDHIMA: Maa, Papa aaj aap ki Riddhi ko aap ke blessings aur support ki zaroorat hain, mujh se koi galti ho gae ho toh maaf kijiyega. Aashirwad dijiye ki main kamzor na padu. I love you both & am missing you. 

Vansh controlling himself side hugged her & wiped her tears. She with heavy heart walked in whole house trying to catch every memory in her heart & then both left for Raisinghania mansion. Vansh knew she's not in right state of mind so before getting dowm the car he wiped her face with his handkerchief & moved fingers in her hair making it correct. Then he went down & opened door of her side & forwarded his hand to her but she was still in daze. Vansh holded her hand which brought her out of her trance.

VANSH: Chalo ghar aa gae. 

She nodded slightly & got down & covered her head. Both entered & saw all were waiting for them. Kiyaan & Angre went to her taking long steps & their eyes got moist seeing their strongest Di in this weak condition. Her eyes got small & red due to crying. Her whole face was red indicating she cried like hell. Kiyaan cupped her face,

KIYAAN: Di you okay? 

Riddhima just nodded. Angre brought water for her & made her drink it.

PANDIT JI: Yuvrani Sa puja ka samay ho gaya hain. 

Riddhima nodded & went towards temple. Kiyaan has already kept her chunni of shagun there. He forwarded it to Vansh.

KIYAAN: Bhai yeh Di ke maathe par pehna dijiye.

Vansh nodded & did it. Kiyaan also made Siya wear the chunni on her head. All sat for the puja & it started. Like this with both the rituals puja was done. It got completed at lunch time. 

KIYAAN: Di lunch is ready.

Riddhima nodded. All had lunch & today Kiyaan & Angre made her eat with their own hands & she too fed her baby brothers. 

After lunch she went to her room & called Kiyaan & Angre.

RIDDHIMA: Yeh lo tum dono ke purane phones or iPad. Main wapas na aa jau tab tak you'll handle the dealings of underworld. But I hope you won't use it for dwelling my past & won't break the promise.

Kiyaan & Angre nodded.

ANGRE: Di achanak yeh mission?

RIDDHIMA: Malik ke son ke culprits mil gae hain, we are going on a mission to finish them. Ye rights wapas isiliye de rahi hu tum dono ko tab tak sambhalna hain sab.

KIYAAN: Di hum saath chalte hain na.

Riddhima denied & Kiyaan & Angre gave her swear to come back fit & fine. Trio hugged each other & cried. Riddhima composing herself broke the hug,

RIDDHIMA: Chalo rona nahi kuch nahi hoga mujhe. You both go downstairs mein aati hu.

Both nodded & left the room. She freshening up went downstairs. She tied pagh on Kiyaan & Angre's head & then tied rakshasutra on their wrist. She made cut on her thumb & did their tilak. Angre made her sit on sofa & made a cut using katar & did tilak on her head & aarti. He touched her feet & she blessed her kissing his forehead. Kiyaan too did the tilak in same way. Both brothers tied rakshasutra on her wrist.

KIYAAN: Siya come.

Siya was already informed by Kiyaan so she was prepared. He carefully helped her in making a cut on her thumb & she too did tilak. Both did her aarti together & touched her feet seeking blessings together. Riddhima blessed them with moist eyes & kissed their forehead. Neela & Prithvi too did the tilak & her aarti. She touched their feet & took blessings. Then she took blessings of all the elders & at last with her bleeding thumb did tilak on Vansh's forehead & touched his feet.

VANSH: Riddhu don't....

KIYAAN: Bhai don't stop...

She smiled & touched his feet & he let her do it. She hugged him & spoke.

RIDDHIMA: I love you Vansh. Mere jaane ke baad humare room mein aap ke closet mein ek jar rakha hain woh dekh lena. It has chits & daily open it one. Jab tak woh khatam honge I'll be back to you.

Vansh kissed her forehead. She breaking the hug smiled faintly & hugged younger Raisinghanias. At last Kiyaan & Angre gave her tulsi leaves which she ate. Both brothers hugged her tightly. Riddhima knew she can't fall weak so patted their back. 

KIYAAN: Sat Sri Akal, Khamma Ghani Yuvrani Sa....

ANGRE: Jeet kar jaldi se lautiyega hum aap ka intezaar karenge. 

Riddhima nodded.

RIDDHIMA: Sat Sri Akal, Ghani Khamma. 

Saying this she left Raisinghania Mansion. 

KIYAAN: Kaka haldi leke aaiye.

Kaka bought haldi & Kiyaan dipped Siya's thumb in haldi. He got a call from Malik so he immediately accepted it.

KIYAAN: Sat Sri Akal.

MALIK: Sat Sri Akal, Riddhima nikli.

KIYAAN: Uha saka karana toh baad hune hi nikli si.

MALIK: Changa, chita na karo jadon tak main zinda han mai usa nala kujha nahi vaparanga, onu da bal bhi baka na hone dena, iha mera vaada hain.

KIYAAN: Mai janada hai ate mainu bharosa hai ki tussi kuch na hove doge bas onu da khayal rakhiya si.

MALIK: Rab rakha. Waheguru Ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh.

KIYAAN: Waheguru Ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh.

While talking he took out handkerchief from his pocket & tied there & kissed her forehead. Angre too did the same with Neela & Prithvi. Neela also applied haldi on Angre's thumb. Kiyaan cut the call & stood up to go but Siya holded his wrist. He turmed & raised his eyebrow with a faint smile asking her what. She signalled towards his thumb that it's bleeding & needs to be treated. He cupped her face & denied shaking her head.

KIYAAN: Onu ese hi rehn de.....

He saying this went to his room. 

ISHANI: Jiju kya bol ke gae Di?

SIYA: Unhone kahan uss chot ko ese hi rehne do.

Ishani nodded.

SIYA: Angre Bhai aaj kis liye puja thi aur sab ese kyun hain?

ANGRE: Siya yeh ritual saka ke similar hain. 

INDRANI: Kya??? (shocked)

NEELA: Aap ko pata hain?

INDRANI: Maine meri Dadi se suna tha.

UMA: Woh kya hota hain Maa?

INDRANI: Saka raj gharane ka ek ritual hain jo woh log perform karte the jung pe jaane se pehle. Par woh aaj kyun Neela Ji?

NEELA: Teeno raj parivaar mein yeh puja hoti hain aaj bhi jab bhi humare ghar mein koi serious issue ko dekhne jata hain. Aaj bhi kahi log teeno mahal ke darwaaze khat khata te hain insaaf ke liye aur humare parivaar se aaj tak koi bhi sacha insaan khali haath nahi gaya, humesha se garib aur sache logo ke insaaf ke liye humara parivar khada raha hain.

SIYA: Aap ka matlab hain waise na jese Di ne unn garib kisano ki madad ki thi uss Pasha se bacha kar.

ANGRE: Haan Siya waise hi. 

VANSH: Aaj Malik ko zaroorat thi uski & she told that how he always stood by the family in weak times & protected them so she decided to be their support at his weak time. 

Siya nodded. Angre was shocked but didn't showed on his face about Vansh's revelation. 

KIYAAN: Siya.... (shouted)

SIYA: Main aati hu.

She saying this ran to their room & found Kiyaan standing there in balcony.

SIYA: Kya hua?

He pulled her towards him & she banged on his chest & he immediately wrapped his hands around her waist & kissed her forehad. 

KIYAAN: Go & change. I know you are uncomfortable in this outfit par puja ke liye zaroori tha isiliye I told you to wear, aur phir araam karo subhah se bhaga dodi kar rahi ho.

SIYA: Okay par aap ne mujhe bata nahi how am I looking today?

She said coming out of his grip & twirling a little showing her lehenga. 

KIYAAN: Kayamat dhaa rahi hain aap Rani Saheba. Aap ki ek nazar kaafi hain katal ke liye.

Hearing his words she blushed making him smirk. She ran to bathroom to change. Kiyaan smiled at her reaction. After changing both laid down on bed. 

SIYA: Kiyaan Di ki chinta na kare sab thik hoga.

He just nodded & patted her head to make her sleep. After she slept he kept her head properly on pillow & covering her with quilt went downstairs taking his iPad & Macbook. He went to Angre's room & found it empty so he went to garden & started working. All after taking nap were sitting in hall. Siya woke up & didn't found Kiyaan so she went downstairs & found him in garden so she directly went there & back hugged him. He smiled & keeping his Macbook aside made her sit beside him. He moved his fingers in her hairs correcting it & pecked her nose.

KIYAAN: Had a nice sleep, feeling fresh????

SIYA: Haan, aap kab aae yahan Kiyaan?

KIYAAN: Mujhe neend nahi aa rahi thi toh socha thoda kaam kar leta hu, tum so rahi thi so didn't wanted to disturb you so came here, also weather was nice so....

Angre was admiring Siya & Kiyaan who were talking. Vansh & Ishani too joined them.

NEELA: Angre beta kya soch rahe hain aap?

ANGRE: Mami Sa kya pyaar mein itni takat hoti hain, kya pyaar insaan ko itna badal ke rakh deta hain? Dekhiye Siya aur Kiyaan ko, aaj Siya ke uske paas hone se hi woh sambhal jata hain, uska gussa uska naam sunte hi thanda ho jata hain, iss waqt har ek pal uske liye hazaro saal barabar hain par Siya ki ek smile se uske chehre pe chamak aa jati hain. Siya ki ek smile ke liye woh taras jata hain, Siya ko khush dekh kar woh khush ho jata hain. Siya ki aankhein bhi kabhi nam hoti hain na, woh thaki hui bhi hoti hain na toh uske chehre ka rang ud jata hain, uski bhi aankhein nam ho jati hain. Siya ke aane ke pehle woh bas din kaat ta tha aur uske aane ke baad woh jeene laga hain, maano jaise Soya uske jeene ki wajah ban gae hain. 

NEELA: Sache pyaar ki takat ka koi andaza nahi laga sakta beta. Ishwar ki puja se bhi zyada ek sache pyaar mein takat hoti hain.

REHAAN: Aap ko pata hain Papa Kiyaan never allows Siya to drive to her office saying Siya you already have so much work there you'll be tired. Roz dono ki behes hoti hain iss baat pe. Siya ke office se aane ke baad na he'll always make sure ki uske pasand ka dinner ready ho. Dinner ke baad he goes with her for long drive so she can enjoy. Aane ke baad he'll always massage her head & legs. 

VANSH: Usse agar kaam bhi karna ho na toh first he'll make sure ki Siya araam se so gae hain then he'll silently move to balcony & work rather than study because he want to be with her what if she needs anything at midnight. Siya ki muh se har ek word uske liye pathar ki lakeer jesa hain.
