After lunch Ajay spoke,

AJAY: Riddhima beta office mein thoda kaam hain toh aaj jaa ke dekhlogi mujhe ghar pe kuch kaam hain?

RIDDHIMA: Haan Papa boliye na kya baat hain?

AJAY: Woh finance reports check karni hain aur kuch nae projects hain files study se collect kar lena.

RIDDHIMA: Don't worry Papa ho jaega.

UMA: Siya, Ishani tum dono Raisinghania Jwelers jao aur kuch designs final karni hain dekh lena.

SIYA & ISHANI: Okay Maa/Badi Maa.

Siya said with a smile while Ishani was grinning because she don't like Yamini because of her strict behaviour. Soon youngsters left for their respective works.

YAMINI: Akshat, Indrani yeh kya hain? Tum sab ne Vansh ke liye ladki pasand karli aur humein bata ni bhi zaroori nahi samjha.

AKSHAT: Didi woh sab itna jaldi jaldi ho gaya ki reh gaya.

INDRANI: Didi waise aap bade dino baad yahan aae hain.....

She said with an intention to know why she came here...

YAMINI: Haan socha ki kae din hue aur nahi aae isiliye kyun tumhein acha nahi laga???

INDRANI: Nahi Didi esi koi baat nahi hain.

YAMINI: Waise Uma bahu bhi tumne tumhare jaisi hi chuni hain naa koi sanskar, naa koi tameez hain bado ki na kapde pehn ne ka lihaaz.....

Raisinghania men were ready to pounce on her but their respective wives holded them.

CHANCHAL: Haan Bua Dadi sahi kaha aap ne. Riddhima bilkul Bhabhi jaisi hain. Uska dil jo itna saaf aur nek hain upar se uski soch ki toh baat hi nahi ki jaa sakti bilkul Bhabhi jaisi. Ghar mein chote bade sab ke saath ghul milkar rehna toh koi un dono se sikhe, jin ko sirf pyaar baant na aata hain aur uski boli toh ek dum meethi hain sab ka man jeet lene wali.

Chanchal said with a smirk & then smiled beautifully taking stand for Uma & Chanchal & others giggled silently seeing Yamini's expression. At evening all youngsters gathered at Raisinghania office during snacks time & having sandwiches along with juice.

SIYA: Rehaan Bhai hum ghar pe bhi toh kar sakte the na snacks sab ke saath?

ARYAN: Haan Bua Dadi itne time baad aae hain unhein acha lagta.

REHAAN: Agar mujhe pata hota ki hitler ghar par hain toh main Mumbai hi rehta aur Bhabhi ko bhi nahi aane deta.

He said making bad faces making everyone chuckle while Riddhima, Kiyaan & Angre were shocked hearing the beautiful nickname of Bua Dadi.

KIYAAN: Aryan Hitler seriously????

ISHANI: Sahi naam hain Jiju koi Hitler se kam nahi hain woh. Ishani yeh kaise kapde pehne hain, yeh kya tarika hain bado se baat karne ka, sharam nahi aati khana banana bhi nahi aata (she said mimicking Yamini) & blah blah blah.....

All laughed their guts out seeing her & Angre not able to control himself pulled her cheeks in a friendly manner...

ANGRE: You're so cute Ishani.....

They were enjoying their time & meanwhile Vansh got a call from Chanchal.

CHANCHAL: Hello Vansh...

VANSH: Haan Choti Maa boliye na...

CHANCHAL: Ajay Bhai ne Riddhima ki cheezein Siya ke room mein shift karwa di hain, Kiyaan ki tumhare room mein aur Angre ki Aryan ke room mein. Jab tak Bua Dadi hain you couples need to maintain distance.

VANSH: Okay Choti Maa.

CHANCHAL: Waise Ishu aur Rehaan ki awaz aa rahi hain sab saath ho...

VANSH: Haan Choti Maa hum sab office mein hain.

Till then Ajay came & told Chanchal to give him phone.

CHANCHAL: Ajay Bhai baat karna chahte hain Vansh mein unko phone de rahi hu.

VANSH: Ji...

CHANCHAL: Bhai bache sab saath hi mein hain...

Ajay nodded.

AJAY: Vansh Bua jab tak yaha hain tab tak Riddhima, Kiyaan aur Angre ko akela nahi chodna hain. Koi na koi humesha unke saath rahega. Aur haan ho sake utna late aana I mean just come at the time of dinner.

VANSH: Okay Papa.

He cut the call.

VANSH: Kiyaan you're sharing room with me & Angre you with Kiyaan & Riddhu you with Siya.

KIYAAN, SIYA & RIDDHIMA: Okay....

They reached at the time of dinner & Angre came holding Riddhima's hand. Yamini saw this & spoke,

YAMINI: Riddhima yeh kya tarika hain tumhein kya shobha deta hain kisi ka bhi haath pakad ke ese besharmo ki tarah ghumna.

Due to her words everyone's blood boiled & before anyone can react Vansh spoke,

VANSH: Bua Dadi Angre uska chota bhai hain toh usmein kya burai hain agar woh uska haath pakde yaa hug kare. I don't mind aur mujhe us par pura bharosa hain.

Yamini didn't spoke anything & went to dining area. Everyone had dinner & after spending some time they went to their respective rooms. Riddhima was sitting in Siya's balcony thinking something. While boys were in Vansh's room thinking something.

REHAAN: You know Bhai Bhabhi paints so well.

KIYAAN: How come you know???

REHAAN: Arrey aaj subhah hi woh painting kar rahi thi...

ANGRE: Kya??? You mean Di was painting....

ARYAN: Tum itna shock kyun ho gae Angre???

KIYAAN: Maa aur Papa ke jaane ke baad Di ne painting karna chod diya tha isiliye....

Rehaan showed them the painting she has done.

(Imagine painting done by Riddhima)

VANSH: Waise Rehaan....

Before he could continue Ishani came there.

ISHANI: Kya kar rahe ho aap sab????

VANSH: Nothing Ishu bas baatein kar rahe hain.

ISHANI: Toh Siya Di ke room mein chalo na hum wahi beth te hain. Bhabhi Maa ka bhi man behel jaega.

All nodded & sneaked to Siya's room. They all settled in balcony & Vansh pulled her on his lap making her shock.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh....

VANSH: Don't I won't leave so be comfortable.

Riddhima pouted & made herself comfortable & like a koala hided herself in him.

(Imagine them sitting like this but Riddhima's head near Vansh's heart & arms wrapped around his torso).

All were talking & cracking jokes but she was busy playing with Vansh's shirt & thinking of where to start her journey of finding culprits of her parents & Umang. All noticed it so Vansh kissed her hairs & spoke,

VANSH: Kya hua hain? Kya soch rahi ho????

Riddhima shook her head in denial.

VANSH: I'm sorry due to Bua Dadi's behaviour.

RIDDHIMA: No Ansh please don't say sorry.

VANSH: If you are uncomfortable here due to Bua Dadi's presence we can leave for Mumbai.

RIDDHIMA: It's okay Vansh woh bhi toh iss ghar ki beti hain, being a family we can't ignore her na.

KIYAAN: Di par....

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan, Angre tum dono unse kuch nahi kahoge, apna gussa control karna sikho.

KIYAAN: Nahi Di....

ANGRE: Agar unhone aap ko kuch kaha toh hum shaant nahi rahenge.

KIYAAN: Aur Siya aaj woh tumhein aur Ishani ko suna rahi thi you don't know to cook & all this bullshit toh why didn't you replied back like Ishani???

SIYA: Kiyaan par....

KIYAAN: I won't say ki aage tumhein yeh sab face nahi karna padega. You're going to be Choti Rani of Kapoor Family & being a queen you have some responsibilities & one of them is to respect yourself. Aage se apne liye stand lena sikho aur har kisi ke paav chuke unke blessings lene ki zaroorat nahi hain aur ese logo ke toh bilkul nahi.

Siya pouted & nodded.

RIDDHIMA: Siya Kiyaan sahi keh raha hain. Apni garima humein khud sambhal ni hoti hain. Aur you being a queen of royal family have many responsibilities because you'll be noticed not only just being yourself but also whole royal family. Upar se tum sirf Kapoor Family ki bahu nahi ban ne wali but Sisodiya Family aur Shekhawat Family ki bhi bahu ban ne wali ho. Kapoor Family mein aaj tak ek usual chalta aya hain ki Jaan jae par kisi ke saamne ese galat tarika se sar nahi jukate, sar jhukta hain toh sirf bhagwan ke aage aur apne Maa Baap ke aage. Aur Sisodiya Parivaar raghukul vanshaj hain aur Shekhawat Parivaar Suryavanshi hain, Ikshvaku vanshaj. Maa ke baad ab yeh sab tumhein aur Angre ki life partner ko yeh legacy sambhal ni hain. Aur iske saath saath tum aur Ishu Raisinghania Parivaar ki bhi izzat aur ghurur ho so ese hi har kisi ke saamne jukna sahi baat nahi hain.

SIYA: I got it Bhabhi Maa aage se mein dhyan rakhungi.

ISHANI: Mujhe games khelni hain..

REHAAN: Ludo...

ARYAN: Sequence....

ISHANI: Nahi Chess...

REHAAN & ARYAN: No...

They fought for sometime while Kiyaan took Siya in his lap & both were in their own world along with Riansh.

ANGRE: Okay okay guys hold on. Ishani I'll play chess with you aur Aryan aur Rehaan you both can play ludo.

Trio nodded & Ishani ran to her room to bring games. Vansh saw all were busy so he whispered,

VANSH: Riddhu....

RIDDHIMA: Ansh woh kal mujhe jana hain kuch kaam se toh shayad mein lunch pe ghar naa aa pau.

VANSH: Par baby you know na you can't skip meals.

RIDDHIMA: I'll take tiffin for brunch, lunch & snacks. Is it okay????

VANSH: Absolutely fine if you finish it on time.

RIDDHIMA: Pakka....

VANSH: Waise you painted so well. Rehaan showed the picture...

RIDDHIMA: You liked it??

VANSH: I loved it....

RIDDHIMA: You know I was state 3rd in QCC forum of India competition during my 9th standard. There was a competition where theme was provided & on the spot we had to do painting expressing the theme on chart paper within an hour. Also I got 1st rank in elocution competion & in dancing too.

VANSH: So my baby is multi talented....

He said kissing her nose making her giggle. Her giggles caught everyone's attention & seeing her like that everyone smiled.

RIDDHIMA: Aap ko pata hain when I was in 7th standard na I took part in fancy dress competition & I became kaali mata. Aur you know to become kaali mata I applied coal powder all over my body & also grease to get a complete black colour. Aur tongue pe naa I used food colour woh red wala par main khaa hi jaati thi till I stood on line (she said last line giggling like a small child). Phir jab mera name announce hua na tab I hurriedly applied colour last time & went on stage. I also won 1st price for that par after that removing those coal & grease was hell tiring thing.

Vansh was listening to her talks with full concentration & was admiring her the ways she was saying while giving different expressions looking hell cute. Ishani stood up & bit her cheeks

ISHANI: Bhabhi Maa aap ko kha jau. You're looking too adorable....

Riddhima hearing her widened her eyes & hided her cheeks with both hands & shook her head making everyone laugh. Again all got busy in their own enjoyment while Riansh were cuddling.

VANSH: Baby you didn't drink & smoke these days? Kuch baat hain kya???

Hearing him her face fell & she hided her face in crook of his neck & her hold became tight.

FLASHBACK STARTED,

In Hawaii Myra & Riddhima were talking,

MYRA: Di ab jo main aap se kehne jaa rahi hu woh please shanti se suniyega.

RIDDHIMA: Myra kya baat hain????

MYRA: Di aap ke reports abhi toh normal hain everything is fit & fine par aap ki jo yeh adat hain na to drink, smoke & take drugs can take away motherhood from you. I know it's hell difficult for you like next to impossible to take steps but now as you are in love & going to marry Vansh Jiju toh agar aap 0.0000001% bhi chahte ho life ka woh phase enjoy karna toh I suggest please bandh kar do. Ye saari effects tab karega.

Saying this she left her alone giving her enough space to think.

FLASHBACK ENDED

Riddhima know how much Vansh loves kids & realising it tears rolled down her eyes.

VANSH: Sweetheart kya hua????

RIDDHIMA: I wanna talk to you par sab hain....

She whispered meekly. Vansh looked at everyone & also he can't take her in his room because of Yamini so carried her in his arms & sat on Siya's bed. She was still in his arms.

VANSH: I'm always here for you my love.....

She peeked & saw all were in balcony & room's door was locked too. She again hided her face in his chest & was playing wih the buttons of his shirt.

RIDDHIMA: Myra told me ki abhi toh sab normal hain nothing to worry par it can snatch my motherhood.

She said while crying silently.

RIDDHIMA: I don't know whether in my life I'll ever be able to think about it or take that step but....

VANSH: Shhh bas mera bunny.

He tilted her face & pecked her nose wiping her tears & kissing her eyes.

VANSH: We are already experiencing parenthood Jaan. See we've always treated our siblings as our baby & they'll always remain too. Parenthood doesn't mean just to give birth to your own child. If you are not comfortable we won't even think about it ever, do you get me???

RIDDHIMA: I got you...

VANSH: Chalo ab so jao bahot der ho chuki hain kal tumhein phir pura din bahar bhi rehna hain na...

Riddhima looked around & found no one's attention was on them so she pecked his lips & wrapped her legs around his each side & one hand around his neck & other around his back.

(Imagine them somewhat like this).

She started caressing his hairs & was making soft random patterns on his back. Her this small gestures made his heart beat rise a little & taking deep breath to control his emotions he squeezed her to him & started patting her head & softly rubbing his thumb on her waist making her drift to sleep. After sometime her soft even breathing on his shoulders made him realise that she's in deep sleep so he gently made her lay down on bed & she immediately frowned. He caressed her frowns removing it & patted her head to make her sleep which got a bit disturbed.

VANSH: Rehaan mere room mein teddy hoga woh leke aa.

Rehaan nodded & came back with it. Vansh removed his shirt & along with teddy kept in her hand which she clutched to her heart tightly in deep sleep also. Kissing her forehead & covering her with blanket he told everyone to go to sleep.

Next morning Riddhima woke up & found Vansh's shirt & teddy which brought a smile on her face. She wore the shirt but not before kissing it & went to freshen up & brush her teeth. After that she went down & hugged Uma & Chanchal. Trio did some yoga & then she went for walk with Ajay & Rudra. Elders smiled seeing her in Vansh's shirt & Rudra thought to tease her. After walk they stopped at a juice stall to have it. Ordering it they sat on bench,

RUDRA: Gudiya yeh shirt kuch zyada hi bada nahi hain.

AJAY: Haan aur yeh toh dekha dekha sa lag raha hain kyun Rudra....

RUDRA: Mmmm haan Bhai yeh toh kal Vansh ne pehna tha na.....

Riddhima was all the time blushing & not able to control she placed palms on her face making them laugh. Rudra ruffled her hairs,

RUDRA: Ese hi khush raha kar gudiya teri hasi se hi toh humari zindagi mein ronak aur khushiya hain.

Riddhima nodded with a smile & after having juice they went back to home. After having breakfast she went to find clues & came late at night on which Yamini tried to fill ears of Akshat & Indrani against her. Like this a week passed. Today she was at home as she came back at snacks time.

AKSHAT: Indrani Didi, Uma aur Chanchal ko bula ke aao.

INDRANI: Ji....

RIDDHIMA: Dadi aap betho mein bula ke aati hu.

Before anyone could say she went to garden where trio were,

YAMINI: Uma, Chanchal ye kaisi ladki pasand ki hain Vansh ke liye??? Raat ko itni der se ghar aati hain aur kahan gae hain kisi ko kuch pata bhi nahi hota.

Not getting any reaction from both Yamini continued as she thought she got successful in filling their ears against Riddhima.

YAMINI: Main toh kehti hu ki usko doctor ke paas le jana chahiye pata lagwane ki kahi kisi ke saath rasleela racha kar toh nahi aae.

UMA: Sahi kaha aap ne Bua humein Riddhima ko leke jana chahiye doctor ke pass to check her virginity.....

This was all heard by Riddhima & she stumbled & tears rolled down her eyes. Everything became numb around her & she was not able to handle herself & fall down on her knees. She was not in her senses & got up & taking car left the mansion. She was driving unknowingly while crying very badly.

INDRANI: Yeh Riddhima bhi wahi reh gae main bula ke aati hu.

She went to garden & called Yamini, Uma & Chanchal & told them to come for snacks & asked about Riddhima & they replied she didn't came.
