Angre made Siya sit in car & he sat on driving seat.

SIYA: Angre Bhai kya hua?

ANGRE: Siya kuch toh zaroor hua hain tumhein Di ke past ke baare mein sab pata hain na jab baat hogi tab samajh jaogi par I suggest don't share with anyone especially Bhai. I think Di se unhein pata chale woh hi behtar rahega.

SIYA: I understand Bhai.....

They drove back to home.

NEELA: Angre beta tum iss waqt ghar.....

ANGRE: Mami Sa file yaha reh gae thi. Aur Siya ko drop karna tha isiliye.

SIYA: Angre Bhai lunch kar ke hi jana wapas aur Raja Saheb ka leke jana woh busy hain wapas nahi aa paenge lunch ke liye.

Angre nodded. Siya went to Vansh room & saw he was learning new language with Riddhima. She joined & back hugged Riddhima making Vansh smile.

RIDDHIMA: Kaisa hain humara bacha?

Siya kissed her cheek.

SIYA: All good.

They talked & shared their life & many more things till lunch. After lunch they had nap & after that they had snacks & then Riddhima took him out for a drive. On the otherside once Angre left Kiyaan & Khanna went to Jodhpur Sisodia Palace & went to home theatre. He played the CCTV pbootage n number of times & got confirmed about the conversation. He sighed & rubbed his palm controlling his emotions. He visited office to divert his mind. He had already messaged to Siya that he'll be late & don't wait for him for dinner. All had dinner & he came late after having dinner in Jodhpur itself. Reaching there he saw all were sitting in garden. His face was void of any expression & stern. He directly went to Riddhima & holded her wrist.

KIYAAN: Di chaliye humare saath.

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan....

He didn't answered anything but made her stand & started walking inside holding his hand. Siya holded his arm.

SIYA: Araam se please gussa nahi....

Kiyaan blinked his eyes & gave a nod. He left after patting her cheek. All were hell confused seeing his behaviour. He took her to his room & closed the door. 

IN GARDEN,

VANSH: What's going on?

His voice was so stern because no matter what how much angry he is he can't see his wife in that state or someone behaving like this with her. All were very well aware of his anger issues so Siya, Angre & Pooja looked at each other & gulped. Ajay's face was also showing stress because he knew Kiyaan & Angre were checking CCTV & by his behaviour he could obviously tell something is not right. He looked at everyone & read their expressions.

VANSH: What's cooking between Papa, Siya, Angre & Pooja? 

POOJA: Jiju maine toh sirf Di ka number track kiya tha & I told Bhaiyu ki woh Jodhpur nahi yahi Kapoor Mansion mein thi...

EVERYONE: What????

While Angre & Siya palmed their face at Pooja's innocence because she shared it. Seeing both of them she said,

POOJA: Bhaiyu, Siya Bhabhi aap ke face ese kyun hain, nae batana tha kya?

She asked with her cute innocent eyes with a small pout being confused whether she made a mistake or what? Vansh smiled because Riddhima too reacts like this. He went to her & side hugged her kissing her forehead hiding her from the glares that her Bhaiyu & Siya Bhabhi were giving.

VANSH: Darao nahi meri angel ko aur bacha aap inke saath rehna kam kardo, yeh bahot shaitaani karte hain. 

She smiled & immediately bobbed her head making everyone smile at her. 

VANSH: Aur kya khichdi pak rahi hain tum dono mein? Aur Papa aap?

ANGRE: Bhai aap ko pata chal jaega please just little patience. 

His voice had seriousness so he nodded. 

SIYA: Angre Bhai agar iss baar Raja Saheb ne Bhabhi Maa par gussa kiya na toh chodungi nahi unhein mein.

ANGRE: Siya....

SIYA: Kya Siya? Unka chehra dekha aap ne angry hulk jaisa kisi ko bhi heart attack aa jae. 

She said bitting her nails looking at the door from which Kiyaan took Riddhima with him. 

ANGRE: Aaj inn dono mein se ek toh gae kaam se. Yaa toh Kiyaan sheekar hoga Di ke gusse ka ya toh Di sheekar hogi Kiyaan ke gusse ka. Par I guess last wale option ki possibilities zyada hain.

Rehaan & Ishani threw pillow at them because all were hell confused with their talks.

ANGRE: Ishani....

ISHANI: Yaha robots nahi insaan rehte hain, insaano ki language mein baat karo.

ANGRE: Have you losted, kya bol rhi ho?

ISHANI: This is what I want to say, sab ko samajh aae ese bolne ka kasht karenge...

Like this their banter went on to divert their mind. This was the speciality of all the members, they'll divert the mind of everyone from stress. But Ajay was hell stressed because his fatherly instinct was telling it's silence before storm. He stood up & went to swing. 

IN ROOM,

Kiyaan made her sit on bed & closed the door. 

RIDDHIMA: Kiyaan kya baat hain?

Kiyaan didn't said anything but sat infront of her & took her hands in his one hand & with other cupped her face.

KIYAAN: Di aap Bhai se pyaar karte ho?

RIDDHIMA: Apni jaan se bhi zyada pyaar karte hain hum unhein...

She said with a smile. 

KIYAAN: Bhai ki koi baat buri lagi hain aap ko, aap dono ke beech ladai hui hain kisi baat par jo aap ese hi chali gae thi?

RIDDHIMA: Ki...Kiyaan....

KIYAAN: Di kya hua tha uss din jo aap chali gae thi? 

She looked down & didn't knew what to say. 

KIYAAN: Aap ko time chahiye, take your time but till then naa toh aap yaha se jaa rahi hain aur naa hi main. Beena baat kiye, sab kuch clear kiye aaj iss room ka darwaza nahi khulega. 

Saying this he made her lay down in his lap & kissed her head. Their eyes turned glassy because right now they were missing their parents a lot, their protective embrace, their love, their care, their warmth. It was half an hour they both were in the same position. 

RIDDHIMA: I won't be able to do it Kiyaan.

She said while crying. 

KIYAAN: Aap ko pata hain sab aap se kitna pyaar karte hain yaha par. Bhai ki halat bahot bigad gae thi, Rehaan, Aryan, Siya & Ishani has turned themselves into workaholic to compose themselves, elders used to cry at night in their room missing you. Younger clan used to cry at their work places for you. 

She didn't said anything but just the voice of her cries were audible. Kiyaan knew she won't say so he composed himself & said,

KIYAAN: Aap se aaj main bahot gussa hu Di, kyun ki aap ne sab ko hurt kiya hain aur usse bhi zyada you didn't felt to share your pain, your issues with us. We really felt that we failed as your brother.

Before she could say he made her sit & took his iPad & forwarded to her.

KIYAAN: Umeed karta hu aap ko yeh dekhne ke baad apni galtiyo ka ehsaas ho. 

Riddhima looked at him & he signalled to look at the video. He sat beside her taking her in side hug. As she was master in lips syncing she could easily see it. Kiyaan played the video for her. At first her eyes were showing hurt & pain but after few minutes her eyes widened in shock till the video got completed. She looked at Kiyaan & he wiped her tears & kissed her forehead.

KIYAAN: Dekha aap ne Di. Iss baar aap galat ho?

RIDDHIMA: Ye...ye... k...kya ka...kar di.... diya main....maine.....

She said stuttering. Kiyaan cupped her face.

KIYAAN: Abhi bhi kuch nahi bigda hain Di, sambhal lijiye sab kuch. Aage aap khud samajhdar hain.

He made her understand calmly kissing her forehead. He stood up & went to balcony & lit up the cigarette giving her complete privacy to think. Ajay saw Kiyaan from the garden & went to others.

AJAY: It's late chalo everyone go to sleep.

Saying this he went & elders too followed him. Younger clan were bickering over a movie. On the other side Riddhima watched the video multiple times & everytime her cries got louder despite of her palms on her mouth. Kiyaan was teary eyed but he wanted her to realise her mistake & to learn from it. 

RIDDHIMA: Ye kya kar diya maine?????

She closed her eyes & remembered the moments when she ignored Uma & Chanchal & the pain in their eyes behind which she was the reason. Suddenly everything felt suffocated & she stood up & ran to her safe place her Papa. Today she was in dire need of the warmth of her father, his protective & safe embrace. Kiyaan too ran behind her to avoid any accident to happen. She ran to Ajay's room & knocked the door while crying badly. Ajay opened the door & found his daughter crying. As soon as the door got opened & seeing Ajay fresh stream of tears rolled down her eyes & she with hiccup whispered,

RIDDHIMA: Papa....

AJAY: Arrey mera bacha kya hua haan? 

He immediately cupping her face wiped her tears. 

RIDDHIMA: M...Maa...

AJAY: Yahi hain aaja...

He wrapping his arm around her shoulder took her inside closing the door behind. Kiyaan was standing a little far from the sight of the father - daughter duo. He with a teary eyes smiled & said to their parents.

KIYAAN: Aap ki betu aaj bhi choti si bachi hi hain Maa Paa.

Saying this he left to his room because he knew his Di was at her right & safe place. Uma was in closet arranging the clothes so Ajay called her.

AJAY: Uma...

UMA: Aae Ajay...

She came out & saw Riddhima in Ajay's embrace with red crying face & was hiccupping badly. Riddhima saw Uma & she sniffed & rubbed her eyes & nose with her palms & taking baby steps went to her. She was looking like a lost daughter searching for her parents in a crowded place unknown to the cheap world outside. Uma looked at Ajay asking what happened which he replied by shaking his head saying he don't know. Uma went to her & wiped her tears & kissed her forehead.

UMA: Kya hua humari gudiya ko yeh itne mote mote aansu kyun?

She asked so lovingly motherly love dripping from her eyes which made Riddhima hug her tight.

RIDDHIMA: Maa I'm sorry Maa....

Saying this she cried hysterically in her arms. Uma & Ajay where so shocked because she was so vulnerable. Both hardly managed to calm her down & as she was hiccupping a lot & was taking heavy breathes Ajay made her drink water sip by sip. She was still saying it & crying. 

RIDDHIMA: Maa I'm sorry Choti Maa sorry....

UMA: Ajay humse toh shant nahi ho rahi hain. Chanchal aur Rudra Bhai ko bulao shayad unse kuch kehna chahti ho. 

She said hiding her daughter in her embrace. Ajay called Rudra,

AJAY: Rudra tu aur Chanchal please jaldi se mere room mein aao. Riddhima roe jaa rahi hain kuch bol nahi rahi. 

RUDRA: Abhi aae.

Rudra & Chanchal ran to Ajay's room & found her crying in Uma's embrace. Chanchal sat beside her & caressed her hairs,

CHANCHAL: Kya hua beta kyun ese roe jaa rahi ho? Kisine tumse kuch kaha kya?

Riddhima looked at Chanchal & hugged her & was saying sorry.

RIDDHIMA: I'm sorry Choti Maa, I'm sorry...

UMA: Riddhima bacha kyun sorry bole jaa rahoi ho kuch nahi kiya aap ne?

RIDDHIMA: I... hur...hurted y..you both I...I'm sor..sorry.... i didn't trus...trusted you... 

She hardly spoke this much & was just crying & panicking. Soon her breathes turned uneven & she was hardly able to breathe. Uma tried to break the hug so she can feel at ease but she didn't let her do it.

RIDDHIMA: Maa please no.. no...

UMA: Riddhima ko panick attack aa raha hain.

Ajay immediately called Kiyaan because he knows about her medicines & also last she was with him. Kiyaan immediately came with his iPad & her medicines. He injected the least dose & she immediately got calm in Uma's arms & slowly drifted to sleep. She made her sleep on the bed properly .

AJAY: Kiyaan kya baat hain?

KIYAAN: Dad pehle mein Mom aur Choti Mom se baat kar lu phir batau.

Ajay nodded. 

KIYAAN: Mom, Choti Mom aap ki Bua Dadi ke saath last mein baat hui thi na?

Uma & Chanchal looked at each other.

CHANCHAL: How come you know?

Kiyaan connected iPad to the TV in Ajay's room & played the video. Uma & Chanchal along with Kiyaan knew what was the conversation. Both mothers saw Riddhima heard something & then she went. He let them watch complete video. 

KIYAAN: Mom, Choti Mom she misunderstood whole thing & that's the reason she left. 

Uma & Chanchal just closed their eyes & were angry on themselves for not handling the matter with carefulness. Kiyaan, Uma & Chanchal shared everything with Ajay & Rudra. Both were so angry on Bua Dadi & were proud of Uma & Chanchal. He sat beside her Di who was sleeping due to the effects of medicines. Her face whole red due to crying, her eyelashes wet. She was holding Uma & Ajay's hands in her hands. He caressed her head & kissed her forehead.

KIYAAN: I don't know aap Di ko maaf kar paoge ya nahi par...

UMA: Kiyaan kaisi baatein kar rahe ho?

CHANCHAL: Haan infact we need to say sorry to her that because of us she faced these things.

KIYAAN: Mom it's not what you thing. She has many scars on her soul. Maa aur Papa hote toh she would have ran to them, cried her heart out, had thrown lot of stubbornness & would have shared her pain to them. She has this habit of throwing tantrums & stubbornness when she's in pain so no one comes near to her but in real she wants someone to hold her tight. Vansh Bhai knows this much better how she becomes when she's in pain & he handles her so well but right now she needs you all, the safe embrace of parents. 

He said still admiring his Di. Chanchal caressed his head & he wiping his tears gave a small smile to them. 

AJAY: Rudra book the tickets, iss baar hum Bua Dadi ko nahi chodenge.

KIYAAN: Dad you can do that afterwards but right now Di needs you. This is just my suggestion aage jaisa aap ko thik lage. She'll gain consciousness within an hour.

Ajay got his point & nodded. Kiyaan wishing good night everyone left the room. Ajay was all the time thinking everything that has happened. Then he realised why her behaviour was different that day when both went for a night out for father - daughter time. How she was saying she loves him so much, then realised why she said not to hurt Kiyaan & Siya. He came to know she was scared that if she'll got they'll break Kiyaan & Siya's relation too because she left Vansh. But then again a question rose in his mind that why she didn't shared it with anyone. Despite Vansh tried these many times & broke all the barriers to know she still didn't uttered a word. Kiyaan's words rang in his ears that Uma, Chanchal & Bua Dadi's talk is not the only thing & she has many scars on her soul. All were aware her past is horrible so he got a bit idea that somewhere something has happened which triggered her fears because of the reaction came from her. 

RUDRA: Ajay Bhai kya soch rahe ho?

AJAY: Jo deekh raha hain utna hi nahi hain Rudra. Something is still jo Kiyaan ne nahi bataya jo humein Riddhima se hi pata karna hoga. We can't let our daughter suffer like this. Aur isse suffer karta dekh Vansh bhi takleef mein rehta hain. Dusro ki galtiyo ki saza humein apne bacho ko nahi bhugatne deni hain.

Then he shared the talk they had that night (flashback chapter -  222). Youngsters left to their rooms & Vansh didn't found Ridhdima there. He freshening up went to Kiyaan's room & found him & Angre smoking & drinking in balcony, their eyes red & small indicating they cried. 

VANSH: Riddhu kaha hain aur tum dono ko kya hua?

Kiyaan crashed the cigarette in the ash tray & gulped mouth freshners. 

KIYAAN: Bhai bethiye.

Vansh frowned but sat.

KIYAAN: Di Mom aur Dad ke saath hain. Will you be fine if she sleeps with them tonight?

VANSH: Something is there which is cooking behind us.

KIYAAN: Bhai please trust us everything will be fine soon.

VANSH: You came to know about the reason she left?

He asked being shocked & both brothers nodded. 

KIYAAN: Bhai go & sleep. Kal aap ko pata chal hi jaega. Let her be with them tonight, I request you. 

Vansh knew Kiyaan would never say anything like it but understanding his seriousness he nodded. He didn't wanted to disturb them so he went to his room. He tried to sleep but not able to so he went downstairs to garden & sat on swing. Pooja was attending a video conference in library so finishing it she was going to Ishani's room but found Vansh on swing so she went with chocolates. 

POOJA: Jiju aap soe nahi???

VANSH: Neend nahi aa rahi. Tum kyun jaag rahi ho, kuch chahiye?

POOJA: Woh video conference thi. Par Di ne aap ko daanta nahi itni der tak jaagne ke liye.

VANSH: She's with Maa & Papa.

Pooja smiled knowing the reason because they both can't sleep without each other. They talked & had chocolates & then Pooja took him inside because still his inner injuries were recovering so it's not good for him. Sighing he went to Rehaan & Aryan's room & slept there taking his medicines.
