AJAY: Yeh kal raat ka video hain jaha Riddhima shared us her view points, her reasons.

ISHANI: Bade Papa par yeh recorded kyun hain?

KIYAAN: Ishani it's been recorded because Myra told us to do it. She's her psychiatrist too.

All understood his point. The video got played & at the end all were in tears.

ZALA: I want to share something....

His words caught everyone's attention.

ZALA: She was beaten that badly that she got injuries in her spinal cord. She got lordosis - a situation where spinal cord turns inward. She didn't knew about this, we treated during her multiple surgeries.

A gasp escaped from everyone's mouth except Zala. There was a pin drop silence in the room, silent tears flowing from their eyes.

AJAY: Angre, Kiyaan Riddhima ko jin logo ne hurt kiya hain unki punishment ki responsibility tum dono ki hain. Make them see death everyday, make them beg for death. Humari Riddhima ke har ek aansu, har ek allegation aur accusation ka hisaab chahiye unke torture mein.

ANGRE: Promise you Uncle.

AJAY: Papa Mrs. Yamini ki punishment aap sunaenge ki...

AKSHAT: Stop all the funds she's getting from us, get all the properties back which she was given by us. Give the proofs against his son to the law & let them rot on roads. Aur aaj ke baad mujhe uska naam iss ghar mein aur kisi ke muh se naa sun na pade. I'm the single child & have no siblings. 

His voice was so confident, so stern, so powerful which was a silent warning that none dare to oppose his decision. 

PRITHVI: Akshat Ji hum maante hain jo hua woh galat hain par woh aap ki behen hain.

AKSHAT: Agar woh meri behen hoti toh usse yeh baat pata honi chahiye thi ki Riddhima meri poti hain. Apne bacho ke khilaaf main ne na kabhi kuch galat suna hain, na kabhi sununga. Aur yeh usne pehli baar nahi kiya hain, pehle Indrani ko chot pahonchae hain, phir Uma aur Chanchal ko, Siya aur Ishani ko koshish ki hain but we never let her do it. Iss baar toh usne saari hadein paar kar di. 

INDRANI: Haan har baar Uma aur Chanchal ne humein rok dete the par iss baar nahi.

UMA: Iss baar main ya Chanchal kuch bolenge bhi nahi Maa, Papa. 

AJAY: Better for you both otherwise you'd faced my wrath too.

All were hearing their conversation but one soul was there sitting being numb. As if someone was stabbing his heart, his soul. He so wanted to shout but no voice was coming out of his mouth, he so wanted to cry but tears denied to come out of his eyes. He was feeling suffocated within himself due to the pain he is feeling in his heart, in his chest right now. He was just expecting it to be a bad dream, that he'll wake up & found that none is reality & everything is fine. But his mind was giving him signals that it's not dream but a harsh truth of his love's life which his heart was denying to accept. Kiyaan was sitting aloof just staring at the ceiling. He didn't wanted to cry at this moment, he wanted to be the strength of his Di now. He was slowly storing all those emotions in his heart, trying to burry that deep inside where it will be hidden from everyone. A sudden knock on the door of the library caught everyone's attention. It was Bob,

BOB: Sorry to disturb everyone but there's a meeting which Mam have to attend. I'm calling her but she's not picking it up.

KIYAAN: Postpone it.

BOB: Sorry Sir, it can't be postponed. Actually Mam wants to launch the new generic medicine in the Saudi Market & it's with the government officials there where they're about to discuss about the permissions & all.

SIYA: Get me the file & prepare for the video conference, I'll handle it. I know about it. 

BOB: Okay Mam. You've right one hour to go. Here is the file & this usb has other details. 

Siya nodded. 

SIYA: Papa aap Bhabhi Maa ko dekh lo, agar woh jaag gae ho toh let her attend it, she will be diverted which will be good for her.

Ajay nodded & left to his room. As soon as he opened the room he found Riddhima curled up in a ball hiding her face in pillow, hugging her soft toy & Vansh's t - shirt close to her heart. Ajay went to her & sat beside her caressing her head. As soon as he was near he heard her muffled cries. 

AJAY: Riddhima beta kya hua?

She didn't replied but just her hold got tightened around pillow & soft toy & his t -shirt. Ajay tried to make her get up but it was all in vain. At last he pulled her by her arm making her sit forcefully. Her whole face was red wet due to tears. Eyes had became so red & small, pillow was wet too & her breathings were uneven because of hiccupping. He immeidately hugged her & she was still in the same state. 

AJAY: Gudiya kya hua? Kyun roe jaa rahi hain, we all are here for you Princess.

As if her ears had became numb so no reaction from her on his words. He sighed,

AJAY: Acha chalo koi nahi get freshen up & have something. Brunch ka time ho gaya hain & you skipped breakfast too. 

She shook her head in no saying she don't want to eat. Uma came there & she too tried to make her understand but she was not speaking a single word, not looking at them, just crying silently. They don't know what to do so at last they called Kiyaan, Angre & Vansh. Trio reaching there found her state but both brothers let Vansh go because they knew he'll handle her better. Uma stood up & Vansh sat beside her & took her in hug. She immediately hided her in him & her cries increased. He knows she does like this whenever the topic of her past comes. 

VANSH: Papa don't worry I'll be with her. Maa aap breakfast humare room mein hi bhijwa do, main khila dunga isse.

Saying this he picked her up in his arms & carried her to his room, in his bathroom. He made her sit on vanity & brushed her teeth, washed her face with water & wiped it. He combed her hairs a little & carried her to balcony. 

VANSH: Bas baba kitna roogi? See you've turned my cute cotton ball into red. 

She just looked in his eyes & again fresh tears rolled down her eyes. Don't know what was wrong with her she wasn't able to control herself, many things were eating her from inside, she was confused as hell, regretting for doing such things, was feared for many things. Her whole inside was filled with n number of emotions which made her a mess. Kiyaan & Angre came with her breakfast. She was in Vansh's lap, her face hidden in crook of his neck, hands wrapped around his torso tightly & palms fisted tightly holding his shirt. Vansh was trying hard to make her talk but she was just not giving any reaction just hiding in him & crying.

KIYAAN: Breakfast for Di...

Vansh nodded.

VANSH: Baby come on dekho Angre aur Kiyaan tumhare liye breakfast lekar aae hae. See it has your favourite chocolate milkshake, paniyaram, vada sambhar too. 

She just shook her head. 

VANSH: Kuch aur khana hain?

She again denied. 

KIYAAN: Di please thoda sa khaa lo kal raat bhi aap ko panick attacks aae hain ese toh aap apni tabiyat bigad loge.

ANGRE: Acha agar aap ko yeh nahi khana toh kuch aur khana ho toh batao woh le aenge. 

Hell she was not ready to get out of Vansh's embrace & to eat. 

VANSH: Acha bahar ka kuch khana hain, samosa, kachori, ya aur kuch?

She just didn't said anything & was just crying. 

ANGRE: Kiyaan call Myra usko video bhej diya tha maine.

Kiyaan nodded & went aside to call & shared about Riddhima's weird behaviour.

MYRA: Bhaiyu Di ka blood test karwa do Pooji ke paas bhukhe pet hi. I'll talk to her. 

KIYAAN: Is everything alright?

MYRA: Bhaiyu Di loves Jiju a lot. The distance between them has broke her very badly. She was not able to cope up with that & was taking drugs. Her drug intake habit has increased much & on top of that she's using e - cigarettes, vapes & recently her poisoning, Jiju's accudent & now this has made her a complete mess.

KIYAAN: But Di was always in control, she never behaved like this?

MYRA: You don't know Bhaiyu, she loves Jiju a lot. I don't know is everything is good between them or not but please do something she'll die without him. Infact these months was nothing but a slow death for her without Jiju.

Kiyaan looked at Riddhima who was in Vansh's embrace hiding from everyone not ready to do anything & now he knew the reason.

KIYAAN: We'll see into it par abhi kya kare she's not ready to have breakfast & is just crying.

MYRA: Pooji se bolke urgent basis par reports mangwa lo & give her the mildest dose of sleeping pills. She's very weak it seems & she'll drift to sleep. 

KIYAAN: Okay.

They cut the call. He went to get her medical kit & slowly collected her blood samples. 

VANSH: Kiyaan yeh....

Kiyaan just kept his finger on his lips saying him not to ask anything now. He ran to Pooja & gave blood samples. She immediately went to Raisinghania Hospitals where laboratory was started. He came back & gave her sleeping pills & she slowly drifted to sleep. 

KIYAAN: Angre, Vansh Bhai I need to share something. Di is back on drugs....

VANSH & ANGRE: What?

He shared what all Myra said. Everyone came to see Riddhima & found her sleeping & breakfast was as it is.

SIYA: Kuch khaya nahi inhone?

Vansh shared how she's just crying & not at all responding. Not having any option they gave her sleeping pills. Vansh got an idea.

VANSH: Papa Riddhu ko lekar kahi jana chahta hu, waha thode din rahegi toh woh thik ho jaegi.

Ajay mouthed Riansh & he blinked. Vansh asked permission from other elders too & they nodded. 

SIYA: Bhai main pack kar deti hu....

VANSH: Rehne de Siya zaroorat nahi hain. Everything will be there for her. Bas uski medical kit ready kar de.

She frowned but nodded.

ZALA: Vansh you have your check up scheduled after two days. Abhi karwa lo phir chale jao. Late nahi kar sakte uss mein.

KIYAAN: Haan Bhai Chachu sahi keh rahe hain. Hum sab hain yaha aap karwa ke aao.

Vansh remembered something & said,

VANSH: Thik hain Chachu. 

ZALA: Alright hospital mein sab kuch ready karwa deta hu phir aa jana.

VANSH: Haan Chachu don't worry.

Zala immediately left for hospital. 

VANSH: Aryan tu mera saath aaega na?

ARYAN: Haan Bhai....

He said being unaware of the questions he's gonna face. Rehaan saw Vansh's smirk & frowned. Then he remembered yesterday's incident & his eyes widened. He pulled Aryan aside.

REHAAN: All the best Aryan Bhai....

ARYAN: What??? (shocked)

REHAAN: Kal raat Bhai ne humari baat sun li thi. 

Aryan tried to remembered & his eyes widened. After half an hour Vansh & Aryan left for hospital. 

VANSH: Aryan....

ARYAN: Bhai woh I know you've questions but????

VANSH: Puchunga nahi par bas itna kahunga ki you know na we all are there for you. 

ARYAN: Bhai woh I love someone.....

He said stuttering & Vansh laughed hearing him.

VANSH: There's nothing wrong in it Aryan.

ARYAN: Bhai but I've not confessed her. 

VANSH: You sure about her?

ARYAN: Haan Bhai. She's a doctor. I met her during one of my business tours almost a year ago. We bonded as friends not wanting to rush into things & gradually bonded. 

VANSH: So when are you getting your Bub to meet us?

ARYAN: Bhai (whined)

VANSH: Acha tell me about her.

ARYAN: Bhai about her nature I'll say she's hell naughty like Rehaan & Ishu but has same innocence as Siya & smartness like Bhabhi Maa. When I said that we live in a joint family damn she was so excited because she always wanted to have a big family. She is a crazy & fun loving person. 

VANSH: What about her family?

ARYAN: Her father is a doctor, her sister is studying, her Mom is no more. Brought up by her Maa & Papa, has three more cousins. 

VANSH: Aryan call her home. Let her meet family & vice versa.

ARYAN: Bhai she lives in Germany. 

VANSH: You mean long distance relationship?

ARYAN: Yes Bhai but we both are serious. But I don't want to take any steps without family's permission.

VANSH: Phir bata do sab ko kya issue hain?

ARYAN: Bhai I've not confessed to her. There are many things I've not discussed like about our family's mafia connection & royal families connection. Also I know she too wants the same that nothing without family's permission. But before that I want to confess to her.

VANSH: Take your time.

ARYAN: Bhai Rehaan aur Angre ko pata hain. Actually Angre & me have done many tours past few months so he had a doubt about it & got to know one day. Then one day when I was talking to her Rehaan caught me. I wanted to share to you but something or other would always come up & I didn't wanted you to stress more. Ab main Siya, Ishu aur Kiyaan ke saath bhi share kar dena chahta hu. I don't want to hide.

VANSH: Okay let's go to zolocrust today directly from hospital. 

ARYAN: Bhabhi Maa????

VANSH: Bade hain aur rahi baat uski she's in effects of sleeping pills aur jab tak jagegi hum wapas aa jaenge. Aur Riansh jaa rahe hain I'll share her with him.

Aryan nodded. They reached the hospital so Vansh quickly messaged in their younger clan group to come at Zolocrust. Zala started the procedure & till then Riddhima's reports came so Pooja discussed it with Myra. Other team of doctors started their part & Zala was free so they discussed Riddhima's reports. 

POOJA: Dad Jiju ne zolocrust aane ko bola hain toh aap ghar chale jana mere liye wait mat karna. 

Zala nodded with a smile. Once Vansh was done, he, Aryan & Pooja reached zolocrust & found everyone already there.

KIYAAN: Bhai kya hua?

VANSH: Not me Aryan wants to share something....

Everyone's eyes were on him.

ARYAN: Yaar don't make me nervous like this.

Rehaan looked at Vansh & he nodded with a smile. 

REHAAN: Kya Bhai pyaar kiya toh darna kya? 

SIYA & ISHANI: Matlab?

ARYAN: Ilovesomeone.....

KIYAAN: Aryan yaar kuch toh samajh aae esa bol.

REHAAN: Main batata hu. Aryan Bhai loves his Bub. He's here to share his love life.

KIYAAN, SIYA & ISHANI: What????

Aryan nodded & shared whatever he shared with Vansh. Aryan on everyone's insistence called his love but she was busy so they had a small celebration. 

POOJA: Jiju I want to have a talk with you so...

Vansh nodded so Aryan left with others & Vansh & Pooja were in his car. Pooja was driving,

POOJA: Jiju Di's emotionally & mentally weak. Her drug intake habit is much increased. The distance between you both & your accident has broken her completely from inside. Due to mental illness her physical health is also effecting now. I know aap ko gussa aa raha higa un par but please right now she needs you. I've seen her crying whole day & night holding your outfits, talking to your photos, crying for you. Trust me I've never seen her this weak even in her worst phase of life. These months were like slow death for her without you. Aap jaa rahe ho & it's fine, maine unki do's & dont's list aap ko whatsapp kar diya hain. Also aap bhi please stop smoking & drinking. It will effect your health too. She has again slept into depression & anxiety. 

VANSH: Pooja she's fine na???

POOJA: Woh humesha kehti hain jab tak aap ho unke saath woh sab kuch bardasht kar jaegi & like always she's true. Maine bahot kareeb se dekha hain unko. She tried her best to not touch alcohol, drugs, smoking but situations & life has always made her way toughest & life was always cruel to her. She used to eat healthy, do exercise, try her best to not do anythings that you don't like but always some or other thing would mess her & she loses her control because you both were apart.

VANSH: I'll do anything to get her back.

POOJA: Aap ke kehne par toh woh kuch bhi kar jaegi. I know you'll take care of her diet & medicines but your love, care, trust & warmth is the most she is in need. Woh aap ko apne paas nahi aane degi because of fear ki sab unhein chod kar chale jaenge ya aap ko woh chot pahonchaegi but what you've to do is just hold her tight. 

VANSH: I promise you I'll get her back.

Like this while discussing & talking they reached mansion. Pooja discussed about Riddhima's reports with everyone. Angre left to his room not wanting to feel weak.

KIYAAN: Bhai le jaiye unhein. Aap snacks aur dinner order kar lena. 

SIYA: Kiyaan yeh kya keh rahe hain aap? Bhabhi Maa so rahi hain.

KIYAAN: Nahi dekh paunga unhein esi halat mein Siya. Jaane do unhein.....

Vansh understood his emotions & immediately chopper was called & he left to Riansh with Riddhima.
