INDRANI: Vansh Riddhima ko call kar to zara puch usse kaha reh gae. Inko bula ne nahi gae hain woh.

VANSH: Ji Dadi....

Vansh excused everyone & called her but she didn't picked it up. He tried once again but got no response. He was getting worried because she was not the one to go like this. Kiyaan & Angre's eyes were towards him only & he signalled to come. Both excusing went & trio went outside.

VANSH: Riddhu ko phone karo she's not picking up.

Both called her but got no response. Vansh called Bob,

VANSH: Where are you Bob???

BOB: Sir we are following Riddhima Mam she's going somewhere.

Before he could continue he got call from Riddhima as she saw them following her,

BOB: Sir Mam ka call aa raha hain, I'll get back to you.

VANSH: Okay.

Bob accepted Riddhima's call.

RIDDHIMA: Get back to mansion & don't follow me.

BOB: Mam but we can't risk your security.

RIDDHIMA: I said don't follow me & from next time don't you dare to deny my orders (she said dangerously)

BOB: Okay Mam.

She cut the call & gathering courage called Vansh which he accepted on 1st ring itself & kept on speaker.

VANSH: Kaha ho tum Riddhu????

KIYAAN & ANGRE: Kaha ho aap Di???

Trio spoke at the same time.

RIDDHIMA: I'm sorry ese bina batae chali gae but kuch urgent kaam aa gaya hain so I had to leave aur nikki tab call par thi aur usi mein reh gaya batana.

Trio were not convinced so Kiyaan spoke,

KIYAAN: Di aap security saath leke jaa rahe ho na????

RIDDHIMA: Nahi Bob wapas mansion aa raha hain.

VANSH, KIYAAN & ANGRE: No....

ANGRE: Bina security ke aap kahi nahi jaoge.

RIDDHIMA: Don't force me to make you agree on my way shanti se keh rahi hu so just cooperate. Samajhdaro ke liye ishara hi kaafi hain....

KIYAAN: Ok ok Di jaisa aap kaho par kab tak wapas aa jaoge????

RIDDHIMA: Jaise hi kaam khatam hoga aa jaungi. Now I need to go so....

KIYAAN, ANGRE & VANSH: Dhyan rakhna apna...

RIDDHIMA: Hmmmm......

She cut the call & burst out crying. She drove the car to Kapoor Mansion & directly went to Shekhar & Jahnvi's room & closing the door taking their belongings laid down on bed hiding her face in Shekhar's pagh & Jahnvi's dupatta. She was wailing badly & shivering. Her most painful scars, trauma which she was trying to forget & heal was all fresh making her situation worst than hell. On top of it when she needed her Maa & Papa they were not there for her.

ON THE OTHERSIDE AT RAISINGHANIA MANSION,

KIYAAN: Angre kya soch raha hain???

ANGRE: Kuch hua hain Di is not in her usual self.... Woh kabhi esa nahi karti.

VANSH: I too felt her behaviour strange.

KIYAAN: Abhi baaki sab ko nahi batate warna sab stress lenge hum sort out kar lete hain.

Agreeing they joined back everyone.

AJAY: Baat hui gudiya se???

KIYAAN: Haan woh Di ko kuch urgent kaam aa gaya toh unhein jana pada aur phone or thi toh usi mein batana reh gaya.

All felt weird but nodded. It was dinner time & she didn't returned. Half heartedly trio sat on dining table & meanwhile Vansh got a message along with Kiyaan & Angre.

RIDDHIMA: I had to leave for Jodhpur so don't wait.

Trio looked at each other & frowned. Completing dinner they left the dining area & went to garden & tried calling her but it was showing out of coverage. They were trying to figure out & Ajay came there.

AJAY: Kya baat hain?

KIYAAN: Nothing Dad....

AJAY: Maa Baap se jhuth nahi bolte beta....

ANGRE: Woh Di ka message aaya tha ki woh Jodhpur ke liye nikal gae hain.

AJAY: What????

KIYAAN: Haan aur woh bhi bina security ke....

AJAY: Call trace karo tab tak security team ko bolo waha pahonche.

KIYAAN: We can't trace her phone Dad.

AJAY: But how could she go without security kaha thi security team jab woh ghar se bahar nikli tab...

VANSH: Gae thi team but usne wapas bhej di if we wouldn't have agreed woh apni tarah se baat manwati which could have turned more worse....

KIYAAN: Aap tension mat lo Dad hum hain na we'll figure it out. Abhi ghar pe kisi ko nahi batate sab pareshaan honge.

Ajay nodded. Kiyaan & Angre went to library & called Malik to know if he knows anything but he was unaware too. They both started checking & contacted some people to know if they can get any clue why she left like this. Next morning Yamini was ready to leave,

YAMINI: Driver lo keh dena humein station chod de naashte ke baad.

AKSHAT: Didi bahot dino baad aae hain ruk jaate.

YAMINI: Wahan kuch zaroori kaam aan pada hain isiliye jana hoga mujhe.

Akshat nodded & she left after breakfast. Whole day passed but here was no news of her. All four where hell stressed but where giving courage to each other. Next morning Kiyaan got a call from Khanna that Riddhima has reached there & the meetings are proposed so he has to reach within half an hour. He shared the news with family & left for office but not before taking breakfast for her. When he reached the meeting was already started so Vansh, Angre & Ajay were not able to talk to her so just attended it. There were back to back meetings which she completed & came back to mansion during dinner time.

SIYA: Bhabhi Maa aap ki tabiyat thik nahi hain aap kuch alag rahe ho....

RIDDHIMA: Bas just tired Siya araam karungi toh thik ho jaungi......

Siya nodded with a smile. After dinner she went directly to their room confusing everyone. After having a long relaxing shower she went to library where Ajay was working.

RIDDHIMA: Papa main aa jau????

AJAY: Aa ja gudiya.

He said closing the files & taking offhe specs.

RIDDHIMA: Papa can we go for a drive????

Ajay was surprised because she never asks anything & he has observed that she's somewhat sad today.

AJAY: Okay chalo just give me couple of minutes I'll wrap up this.

Riddhima nodded. Ajay wrapped his work he wrapped his arm around her shoulder & kissed her head.

AJAY: Let's go princess.

Riddhima smiled & leaned on his chest. Both walked towards the parking & before going he informed everyone & settled in car.

AJAY: So how was your day beta???

RIDDHIMA: A busy day, back to back meetings thi.

AJAY: Any issues.

RIDDHIMA: No but just want to finish some works because aage jaa ke yeh projects aap sab ko hi handle karna hain na isiliye.

AJAY: You'll be there na....

RIDDHIMA: Some things are lined up so I had to give attention to them.

AJAY: Okay......

Riddhima leaned on Ajay's shoulder wrapping her hands around his arm.

RIDDHIMA: Papa....

AJAY: Hmmm....

RIDDHIMA: You know Papa I love you so much. You're one of the best person in the world & you matter to me so much....

AJAY: Thank you so much my princess & Papa too loves his gudiya so much.....

Riddhima smiled & Ajay kissed his head. Ajay stopped at Dominos & brought pizza & then from in between took some dahi bhale & pastries along with lots of chocolates & cold coffee too. He kept dahi bhale, pastries, chocolates & coffee in ice box which was there in his car.

RIDDHIMA: Papa itna sab kuch kaun khaega??????

AJAY: Hum dono & before you say ki bhukh nahi hain I know ki tumne dinner thik se nahi kiya aur pura din bhi kuch nahi khaya.

Riddhima pouted. Ajay drove to a hill side from where night city view was so beautiful.

AJAY: So here we go. Let's have our father - daughter time.

He said rubbing his hands being excited. Both got off the car & placed the blanket that was in car's trunk & placed things nicely on it. Ajay opened the pizza boxes & placed in front of Riddhima but not before clicking the pictures & sending it to their family group. He then kept his phone on silent.

AJAY: Here you go gudiya have pizza first.

RIDDHIMA: Papa....

AJAY: Haan princess bolo....

RIDDHIMA: Aap apne haatho se khilaoge??????

She whispered meekly. Ajay cupped his face & kissed his forehead.

AJAY: Offcourse Princess infact I'd love to do it.....

He said being excited & started making her eat wih his own hands while she was feeding him. After three to four morsels she couldn't control her emotions & started crying hugging Ajay. He knew something is wrong because she's behaving different. He hugged her making her feel safe.

AJAY: Arrey beta kya hua haan? Won't you say to your Papa. Bas bas beta rona nahi hain meri gudiya ne bas.... bas... Main hu na beta I'm always here for my daughter.

RIDDHIMA: I....I.... lov....love yo....you Pa....Papa..... You.....your Prin....Princess.... you.....your gud....gudiya..... lov.....loves you Pa.....Papa....

She said hiccupping......

AJAY: Papa too loves you beta, his princess, his gudiya. Tum toh mere jigar ka tukda ho beta....

She nodded & broke the hug. Ajay wiped her face with his handkerchief clearing her tears.

AJAY: Kitna roe hain meri princess ek dum laal tamatar ho gae....

He said pinching her nose making her giggle. She diverting the topic asked him while he decided to give her time & started making her eat.

RIDDHIMA: Aap ko yeh jagah bahot pasand hain na Papa....

AJAY: Haan I often come here to have me time.

RIDDHIMA: Aap aur Vansh ek jaise ho.

AJAY: Matlab.....

RIDDHIMA: Even he has a place similar to this where he loves to go & gave his me time.

AJAY: Ohhh I never knew.

Angre saw the pictures & he called Ajay but he didn't picked it so called Riddhima. Seeing Angre's call she frowned.

AJAY: Ghar se call ho toh speaker pe karna beta......

Riddhima nodded & did it. As soon as she was on call Angre cribbed.

ANGRE: Di aap aur Uncle esa kar sakte hain???? Akele enjoy karna....

Hearing him everyone checked their phones & all whined making Riddhima & Ajay laugh.

AJAY: It's our father - daughter time so....

They talking for couple of minutes cut the call.

RIDDHIMA: Papa aap kyun chidate ho sab ko????

AJAY: Arrey maza ata hain aur yeh sab bhi itne masoom nahi hain humesha mujhe pareshaan karte hain jab tum chote saath jaate ho tab isiliye aaj maine bhi kiya.

Riddhima chuckled hearing him. Both finished pizza & had dahi bhale. Finishing both sat there admiring night view. Ajay then opened ludo in his phone & both played for sometime followed by snakes & ladders, sequence & tic tac toe. Then they listened some music. Riddhima went to car & came with coffee & gave him & both sat enjoying it. Finishing it she broke the silence,

RIDDHIMA: Papa....

AJAY: Haan Ji....

RIDDHIMA: Mujh se kabhi koi galti ho gae ho toh mujhe maaf kar dena. I know bahot impulsive react karti hu kae baar par.....

Ajay was confused why she's saying all this so he made her sleep taking her head on his lap.

AJAY: Kya baat hain Princess haan????

He asked caressing her hairs making her smile.

RIDDHIMA: Papa kabhi mujh se kuch galti ho jae toh uski saza Kiyaan aur Siya ko mat dena....

AJAY: Beta....

RIDDHIMA: Please Papa promise me ki aap Siya aur Kiyaan ki khushiyo ko protect kar ke rakhenge meri galtiyo ki saza unhein nahi denge.....

Ajay knew her stubbornness so holded her hand with his both hands & said.

AJAY: Wada raha mere saare bacho ki khushiya sanjo ke rakhunga, meri paanch betiya aur paancho beto ki khushiyo pe koi aanch nahi aane dunga yeh Ajay Akshat Raisinghania ka wada hain.

Riddhima nodded with a smile.

AJAY: Princess kya apne Papa se nahi baat share karegi ki aaj achanak esi baatein kyun?

RIDDHIMA: Bas ese hi Maa aur Papa ki bahot yaad aa rahi thi isiliye.

AJAY: Ek baar yaad rakhna beta chahe kuch bhi ho jae tumhare Maa Baap, tumhara pyaar, tumhara Parivaar tumhare saath hain humesha.

RIDDHIMA: Papa I love you so much. Humesha se Kiyaan aur Angre ke alawa maine kisi ko apne itne kareeb nahi aane diya ki mere emotions jaan pae, samjh pae. Par jab se Vansh meri life mein aae hain na he has always not only noticed my emotions but also understood it even more better than me & same goes to you too. Aap dono se kuch nahi chupa paati mein. You both are so important to me.

AJAY: Princess mere jigar ka tukda ho tum. Aur kabhi chupana bhi nahi apne emotions beta humse nahi share karogi toh kis se karogi. Beta tum bacho ke liye hi toh hum hain warna humare zinda rehne ka kya faida?

RIDDHIMA: Nahi Papa kabhi esa mat bol na, aap ko meri bhi umar lag jae. Dadda ko toh kho chuki hu aap ko kuch hua na toh main nahi bardasht kar paungi Papa.

She said while sobbing & clutching his hand tight near to her heart.

AJAY: Sorry sorry baba aage se esa nahi bolunga.

RIDDHIMA: Ag....agar aa...aage se aap ne esa bola na ma....main aa....aap se baat nahi karungi.

She said while sniffing with a cute angry pout. Ajay smiled & kissed his forehead.

AJAY: Meri beti ka kaha sar aankho par.

She cutely bobbed her head & was admiring the nature.

RIDDHIMA: Papa....

AJAY: Haan Ji meri princess.....

RIDDHIMA: Main Vansh ke saath kal farmhouse jau????

AJAY: Jaisa tum ko theek lage.

RIDDHIMA: Thank you so much, these are one of the best moments of my life.

AJAY: We'll come often here if it makes you happy.

RIDDHIMA: You know you're world's best Dad.

AJAY: & my princess is world's best daughter & I'm lucky to have you in my life & I'm proud of you bacha.

Hearing this tears rolled down her eyes. Ajay didn't asked because he knew she won't share so just let her cry because it can make her heart feel light. After sometime she drifted to sleep in his lap. Seeing her in deep sleep Ajay messaged Vansh.

Beta kal Riddhima wants to go to farmhouse with you so mana mat karna. Also she's a bit disturbed so take care of her.

Vansh checked his message & frowned. So he texted him back

VANSH: Papa kuch bola usne?

AJAY: Nahi bas ajeeb si baatein kar rahi hain. Keh rahi thi ki usse galti ho jae ho toh maf kar dena aur uski galtiyo ki saza Kiyaan aur Siya ko naa du. Maine pucha bhi toh bola ki Shekhar aur Jahnvi Bhabhi ko miss kar rahi thi isiliye but I don't think so kyun ki she even cried today.

VANSH: I'll try to talk to her about it. Waise kaha hain aap, kab tak wapas aaoge???

AJAY: Bas nikal rahe hain so gae hain.

VANSH: Okay...

Ajay carried her to the car & made her sleep properly & tied seat belt. He wrapped up everything & started back to mansion. She woke up in between & both reached back talking. Reaching home she took pastries & holding Ajay's hand she dragged him to swing.

RIDDHIMA: Papa pastries khani hain....

She said being excited making him chuckle. Both made each other eat & then she spoke,

RIDDHIMA: Papa aaj aap sulaoge???

AJAY: Okay, aaja chal room mein so jaa.

RIDDHIMA: Nahi please yahi sona hain.

Ajay knew she's disturbed so agreed with a smile. She like an excited kid ran inside & came with pillows & soft shawl. She kept pillow behind Ajay's back & wrapped shawl around him & laid down in his lap. He kissed her forehead & started patting her head while swinging. She holded his other hand with her both hands & closed her eyes. She got emotional & her eyes corners got wet but she didn't opened her eyes. Ajay was noticing her every movement but thought to handle wih care & love. Also her face was screaming some unknown tiredness so he thought to let her rest. Ajay too drifted to sleep. All this was seen by Vansh so he thought to not disturb father daughter duo.

It was midnight & Uma saw that Ajay had not returned so he called him which he picked up at first ring not to disturb Riddhima's sleep.

UMA: Ajay aap aur Riddhima ab tak nahi aae?

AJAY: Hum wapas aa gae hain Uma par aaj gudiya ko jule pe sone ka man tha toh woh so rahi hain. Tum so jao araam se.

UMA: Okay Good Night, love you.

AJAY: Good Night, love you too.

Next morning sunrays disturbed Ajay & Riddhima's sleep. She rubbed her eyes & blinking it few times opened it. Ajay smiled looking at her cute adorable daughter & kissed her forehead.

AJAY: Good Morning Princess....

She smiled & hugged him.

RIDDHIMA: Good Morning Papa....

They sat there enjoying the sunrise & then went to their respective rooms. She saw Vansh sleeping so kissing his forehead went to get ready. After that she went to kitchen & prepared breakfast for everyone. During breakfast she made eat youngsters eat wih her own hands. Everyone found her behaviour different which confused them. Also in breakfast today it was every family members' favourote dish.

AJAY: Beta farmhouse ke liye kab nikal rahe ho?

RIDDHIMA: Breakfast ke baad Papa....

AJAY: Okay dhyan se jana.

VANSH & RIDDHIMA: Ji Papa.

After breakfast both left the mansion but today Riddhima was driving. After sometime she holded Vansh's one hand & placed a warm kiss in his knuckles & then was caressing it.

VANSH: Kya baat hain Sweetheart????

RIDDHIMA: Ansh.....

VANSH: Haan ji meri Jaan bolo.....

RIDDHIMA: Bas ese hi.....

She smiled looking at him making his heart skip a beat. Listening to songs & enjoying atmosphere they reached farmhouse.
