Vansh went to their room & found her sleeping & he frowned because she has again started facing sleep deprivation after their distance & his accident memories still haunts her & here she sleeping so early is something different. The half empty water glass on her side came to his view & he got idea that she might have taken sleeping pills. He went to closet & after changing & closing the doors of balcony laid down beside her pulling her on him. Next morning she was sleeping even after her alarm rang. Vansh's sleep broke & he found it weird. He checked her temperature & found it normal. 

VANSH: Kuch baat hain yeh kabhi itni der tak nahi soti.....

He said to himself. He carefully made her sleep on bed & went to start his day. He completing morning chores went to gymn & met boys & started workout.

KIYAAN: Di nahi aae Bhai?

VANSH: So rahi hain kal sleeping pills li thi shayad. 

They frowned but decided to talk to her later. She even missed her morning drink & directly came down at breakfast. She was in traditional attire & coming down she just sat on breakfast table & was in deep thinking.

(Imagine her in this look)

KIYAAN: Di office nahi jaa rahe aaj?

She was lost in thinking & all frowned seeing her absent mind. Vansh caressed her head which brought her out if her thoughts & she looked at him.

VANSH: Kiyaan kuch puch raha hain?

She looked at Kiyaan.

KIYAAN: Kae bahar jaa rahe ho?

RIDDHIMA: Patiala jaa rahe hain hum. 

POOJA: Di main bhi chalu saath?

RIDDHIMA: Nahi abhi nahi baad mein chalenge waha.... Patiala ki dono yuvrani ke liye rishte ki baat karni hain aur kuch aur kaam bhi hain. 

None spoke seeing her sour mood & continued breakfast.

RIDDHIMA: Agar rishta fix hua toh roka karwa ke wapas aaenge aur kaam bhi hain shayad kuch din lag jae. 

AJAY: Okay khayal rakhna apna. 

Riddhima just nodded with a small smile & left to Patiala. As soon as she left Angre called Sharma,

ANGRE: Activate your contacts in Indonesia & pata karo kya hua waha?

KIYAAN: Bhai aaj aap ki help chahiye woh finance reports dekhne hain aap kardoge mujhe kuch kaam se Bikaner jana hain raat tak wapas aa jaunga. 

VANSH: Okay waise bhi I'm free. 

All dispersed to work & soon it was night. Kiyaan too came but there was a guitar in his hand. Ishani being excited soul asked,

KIYAAN: Jiju you bought a guitar, I wanna see.....

Kiyaan chuckled & side hugged her & kissed her hairs.

KIYAAN: Ishu yeh...

SIYA: Raja Saheb mujhe bhi dekhna hain.....

Angre too chuckled & Kiyaan said,

KIYAAN: Let's go to our room.

UMA: Beta yahi dekh lo aur study mein rakh dena ese hi roz upar neeche upar neeche karna padega.

KIYAAN: Mom this is a special guitar chalo agar dekhna ho toh.

He said after seeing everywhere confirming no one is around. All frowned & went with him. He locked the doors & closed the windows putting the curtains too making room confidential. 

KIYAAN: Yeh baat yaha se bahar nahi jaani chahiye kabhi nahi thik hain.

All nodded & he opened the case & taking guitar out pressed a key in the guitar & a lock popped out. He entered the password & then slightly punched some areas in case & again a lock popped out in case & once he entered password & then removed the upper layer. Once the layer was removed everyone were stunned except Angre because it was filled with real diamonds. 

VANSH: Kiyaan yeh karodo ke diamonds hain par ese kyun?

KIYAAN: Bhai underworld dealings ese hi hote hain.

He said packing everything & locking it & kept it in safe. 

AJAY: Beta par yeh ese....

Kiyaan holded his hand.

KIYAAN: Dad I know ki kahi na kahi aap ko yeh galat kag raha hain par we don't have any option. Wajah aap jante ho aur I promise you in mein se ek bhi paisa humare liye use nahi kiya jata. Ananta Hospitals ab last stage mein hain. For poor people their finance needs to be done & also the projects for schools have been started too. Today Ananta Hospitals is in most of the cities of the world. Also we need to block the money of terrorists & black mafias by dealing in metals & precious things so they won't be able to invest much in weapons & all. I'm not saying we are doing right but....

ANGRE: Beta I know your point & I'm not saying you're right or wrong because hell I can't even do what you trio are doing. But the thing is in sab mein tum sab ki safety ki chinta satati rehti hain. 

KIYAAN: Uski chinta chod do Dad nothing is gonna happen to me. Aur phir aap sab ka asshirvaad aut pyaar hot toh koi kuch kar bhi nahi paega.

Ajay hugged Kiyaan & then they had a dinner & Ajay got a call from Riddhima.

RIDDHIMA: Hello Papa....

AJAY: What's my gudiya doing?

RIDDHIMA: All good Papa. Yaha kal Mehras aa rahe hain aur shayad kal hi roka kar denge ya parso so I'm staying here. Meri chinta na kare.

AJAY: Okay take care of yourself. 

Both father daughter duo talked & cut the call. Like this a week passed & Vansh knew she's ignoring him. Angre was pissed off at dinner time & he got a call from Sharma & he informed that Riddhima had went to hospital. He cut the call.

ANGRE: Zala Uncle Di had went to Jakarta Branch Hospital for her chekup get the information immediately. 

KIYAAN: Phir se koi siyappa kitha si onu ne....

Zala immediately did it & threatened to get the information & found about her reports being all normal. 

KIYAAN: Pata nahi kya khichdi pak rahi hain inke dimaag mein ab? 

ANGRE: Bhai dare you lie peechli baar kab baat hui thi aap ki Di ke saath?

Vansh didn't said anything & continued eating.

KIYAAN: Dekha Dad isiliye we made that plan. Phir se woh hi kar rahi hain she's again ignoring Bhai. 

Ajay didn't said anything. Next morning she returned & Vansh pulled her with him to their room. Reaching there closing the door he pinned her to the wall.

VANSH: What's cooking in your mind?

RIDDHIMA: Nothing...

VANSH: When were you planning to tell about your health issues?

RIDDHIMA: Nahi batana....

She said pushing him. She knew her actions would hurt him but at least he'll start hating her & will learn to live without her. He pulled her to him holding her waist & spoke dangerously.

VANSH: You very well know I don't like when you risk your health & hide it anything related to it. Then why this behaviour????

RIDDHIMA: Kyun batau aap ko?

VANSH: For fuck sake please stop being stubborn. Jaan na chahti ho kyun then listen I've full right to know Mrs. Riddhima Vansh Raisinghania. I'm your husband god dammit & it's my rights, duties & responsibilities to know about my wife's health. 

RIDDHIMA: Aap ko toh uss shaadi ke baare mein pata bhi nahi tha so practically we aren't married. 

He so wanted to give her earful that if she thinks they aren't married then why the hell sindoor is there in her hairline. Her behaviour is telling him that for sure something is cooking in her tiny brain. 

VANSH: Then let's get married come.

RIDDHIMA: Nahi karni mujhe aap se shaadi....

She shouted & this made sure of his doubts. But her this words have hurted him & made him hell angry. 

VANSH: Fine then continue this & I promise you'll see new Vansh Raisinghania from now Miss RS....

He said glaring at her & went slamming the door making her flinch. She sat with thud & cried while he stormed out of the mansion to office. Everyone looked his actions but none asked knowing they won't share. She cried her heart out & then went downstairs. All were waiting to check on her only. 

RIDDHIMA: Ummm.... hum Eklingji jaa rahe hain.

AJAY: Beta abhi niklogi toh wapas kab aaogi?

RIDDHIMA: Papa chal kar jaa rahe hain...

All were shocked hearing her. 

KIYAAN: Par Di...

RIDDHIMA: Mannat hain humari.....

ANGRE: Acha Di lunch kar ke niklo tab tak saari arrangements karwa denge....

UMA: Haan beta ese hi bina arrangements chal ke nahi jaate, hum bhi chalenge saath.

RIDDHIMA: Nahi Maa rasta lamba hain aur aap thak jaoge. 

REHAAN: Bhabhi Maa par atleast lunch tak ruk jao. Hum snacks aur sab pack kar denge aap saath lekar jana. 

Everybody convinced her & she agreed & went to Kapoor Mansion. Spending sometime there she returned at lunch time & Vansh too returned because he was near home for a meeting. When he came back he found Rehaan, Aryan, Uma & Chanchal in kitchen & he frowned & went there & saw lots of food preparation like jar snacks, sweets were being prepared & packing was going on.

VANSH: Kya ho raha hain?

REHAAN: Bhabhi Maa Eklingji chal ke jaa rahi hain so unke liye yeh sab bana kar pack kar rahe hain....

VANSH: Kya????

UMA: Tumhein nahi pata....

VANSH: Kaha hain woh???

CHANCHAL: Room mein....

Vansh went to their room & found her packing her essentials. He pulled her to him & pinned her to wall.

VANSH: Kya kar rahi ho?

RIDDHIMA: W..woh.. 

VANSH: Kyun jaa rahi ho?

RIDDHIMA: Mannat hain...

It would be a big lie if she says she don't get feared from his anger. Hell she gets so intimated, she fears from his anger. 

VANSH: Jab yeh shaadi koi maine hi nahi rakhti, toh yeh mannat kis liye haan?

She was trembling in fear & words didn't came put of her mouth.

VANSH: Kahi nahi jaa rahi ho tum....

He declared & was going out but she stopped him holding his wrist but he turned & showing his first finger ☝🏻glared at her.

VANSH: Don't....

She gulped & removed her hand from his wrist. 

RIDDHIMA: Please Ansh mannat todte nahi hain....

Her eyes watered & her chin wobbled. Not able to control himself he left the room slamming the door making her jump at her place. She got ready & came down as it was lunch time. Seeing her ready Vansh knew she won't stop which angered him more. Not wanting to snap at anyone he silently sat beside Rudra. Riddhima's eyes turned moist because he even ignored to sit beside her. Controlling herself she had lunch silently without throwing any tantrums not to anger him more. Giving her kasam she even made everyone agree to let her go alone. Just Neil & Avani were going with her taking vanity behind. After having lunch she went to mandir & taking god's blessings touched elders' feet & hugged youngsters except Vansh who was sitting being angry hulk. She so wanted to go to him but couldn't gather courage. Uma & Chanchal came with aarti thaal & dahi chini. Doing her aarti & feeding her dahi chini they blessed her. Ajay knew her hesitancy so patting her head signalled her to go & talk to him while signalled everyone to leave. All left silently & she taking baby steps went to him & touched her feet but he stopped her.

VANSH: How many times I've said to you that never ever touch my feet or footwear.....

He spoke gritting her teeth. Seeing her moist eyes he just hugged her tight & kissed her forehead. 

VANSH: Bahot gussa hu tumse aur naraaz bhi. You've hurted me a lot, single piece sahi salamat wapas chahiye. Kuch bhi hua na mujhse bura koi nahi hoga.

She bobbed her head in his arms & hugged him tight & he too squeezed her to him. Mumbling I love you in their minds they broke the hug. He kissed her forehead & she too did the same. She went outside while he went to terrace garden. Bidding bye she left to her journey. While Vansh looked at her with moist eyes till she got out of his sight. He silently went to his room & slept. Whole week passed & Riddhima didn't received any message from Vansh neither she did too. She knew he won't come because Kiyaan informed how he's snapping at everyone & anyone in the office at slightest mistakes. Eldest couples had too came back. Next day she was going to reach at Eklingji & informed family to come. 

AJAY: Kal Riddhima pahonch jaegi Eklingji so we're leaving after lunch. 

VANSH: I'm not coming mujhe kaam hain.

AJAY: I'm not asking anyone, I'm informing everyone within 2 hours I want everyone ready aur kal pooja ke baad wapas aaenge. 

Saying this he went to his room. Vansh knew no one can go against Ajay when it comes to Riddhima. Getting ready they left to Eklingji & reached at dinner time. Having dinner all retired to bed as next day they've Pooja. In morning Riddhima getting ready went to Ajay & both went to a little walk.

RIDDHIMA: Papa woh....

She didn't knew how to tell him that she & Vansh are not even at the speaking terms & in today's Pooja he has to sit with her. Ajay frowned because she was never this hesitant so kelt her hand on his head silently telling he is there for him. His this gesture made her smile & she holded his arm with her both hands & leaned on his biceps keeping her head there.

RIDDHIMA: Papa Vansh ko saath pooja mein bethna hain par woh nahi manenge.....

She said with  pout making him smile.

AJAY: Aur you want me to help you....

She immediately bobbed her head. 

AJAY: Koi nahi ho jaega chalo kuch khalo.....

She shook her head denying.

RIDDHIMA: Pooja ke baad. 

AJAY: Esi mannat aage se mat rakhna....

RIDDHIMA: Papa Ansh ke liye toh main apni jaan bhi dedu yeh mannat toh kya badi baat hain. 

She said remembering his condition in which she saw when his accident happened. Both talked for a while & Ajay informed her that even Mami Sa's mannat has to be completed so they're leaving for Bikaner from here directly. All were ready & so walked to mandir while whole way Vansh's eyes were on Riddhima who was looking like a goddess in that saree & the morning sunrays were making her skin pink matching to her outfit. Her baby hairs that were coming out from her low bun flowing softly due to winds & her movements was making her heart run marathon. The tinkling sound of her bangles & anklets were so peaceful to his ears.

(Imagine Riddhima in this saree but hair tied in low bun with flowers)

They reached temple & Riddhima looked at Ajay.

UMA: Vansh aaj ki pooja tum aur Riddhima saath mein karoge.

VANSH: Maa par....

CHANCHAL: Vansh keh diya na go & sit. 

He knew it so glared at Riddhima & went inside the garbh griha (an inside area of temple where god's ideal is placed). Riddhima too went & sat beside him & carefully arranging her saree so the scars on her feet couldn't be seen by him. Pandit Ji started pooja & both wholeheartedly performed it. After pooja all went back to the place they were staying & had lunch & then they went to Bikaner in choppers as the journey was long & elders would have been tired. Reaching there they were welcomed grandly. 

NEELA: Sab thak gae honge aap araam kijiye aur kuch bhi zaroorat ho toh keh dijiyega. 

RIDDHIMA: Hum sab ko rooms dikha dete hain.

PRITHVI: Aap jaa ke araam kijiye woh hum aur aap ke Mami Sa Kiyaan aur Angre ke saath milkar dekh lenge. 

Riddhima nodded & went to her room while Kiyaan & Angre directed everyone to their rooms. 

VANSH: Aryan I'm gonna share room with you.

ARYAN: Okay....

Boys looked at each other but didn't said anything. After nap youngsters except Riddhima went for city tour as she was still sleeping. Waking up she decided to go on a round of palace to ensure safety which she did till dinner time. As the weather was nice they decided to have dinner in garden. 

NEELA: Bacho kal havan subhah shuru se hoga toh jaldi jaag jana aur ready ho jana.

All agreed with a smile & Riddhima after dinner went to Umang's memorial. After sometime Mrs. Dsouza came with kulfis & fini.

KIYAAN: Mama Sa, Mami Sa aap se kitni bar kaha hain meetha kam khaya karo....

PRITHVI: Par humne nahi mangwaya....

ANGRE: Jaante hain aap ki adat hain roz khane ki hum....

MRS. DSOUZA: Riddhima Mam ordered this....

PRITHVI: Humari beti hi humse pyaar karti hain aap dono toh daant hi do bas....

Saying this he took the kulfi from the tray & his eyes twinkled. He was going to eat but stopped,

PRITHVI: Par woh hain kaha dinner ke baad se dikhai nahi di.

CARETAKER: Bade Hukum unko Chote Hukum ke memorial ki taraf jaate dekha tha humne. 

Neela called her & told her to come to garden. She with a facade of smile joined everyone & had dessert trying to involve in the conversations. As they were having desserts Vardhan came with iPad & gave to Riddhima. 

VARDHAN: Mam issi tarah se paperwork karwa du?

RIDDHIMA: Haan sahi hain.

She gave iPad back to him.

RIDDHIMA: Siya, Ishani Alice se kuch khaas kaam hain next week.

SIYA: No Bhabhi Maa.

ISHANI: I can manage bas Viraat Bhaai aur Anushka Di ki hi appointments hain. 

RIDDHIMA: Vardhan tum aur Alice niklo abhi chopper lekar. Team Ananta Mansion mein ready rahegi. Get all these done tonight. Subhah tak yaha aakar sign karwa lena pooja shuru hone se pehle aur phir turant jet lekar nikloge Myra ke paas. Usse signatures karwa ke issi week registration process aur sab formalities complete ho jaani chahiye. 

VARDHAN: Mam I'll try to get it done asap aur possible hoga toh midnight tak hi wapas aa jaenge.

RIDDHIMA: Time ka mat sochna aate hi turant inform kar dena signatures mein der lagegi. 

VARDHAN: Aap stress free rahiye Mam koi gadbad nahi hogi.

Riddhima nodded & Vardhan left. 

KIYAAN: Di everything all right????

RIDDHIMA: Hmmm....
