Trio sat on sofa & Ishani came with water which trio gulped in go. None asked anything seeing their faces knowing things weren't good & they were controlling themselves hardly from bursting out.

KIYAAN: Chachu Angre ki chot dekh lo zara....

Saying this he signalled Pooja to get Riddhima's medical kit. He went to her & sat on his knees infront of her taking her left leg on his thighs. She tried to pull but he held it hardly. He removed her slippers & pulled the track till her knees & everyone saw there was burnt mark. Kiyaan closed his eyes & took deep breathes & opened the kit to treat the wound & she tried to stood up but Kiyaan shouted,

KIYAAN: For god's sake Di just sit here quietly. 

RIDDHIMA: Leave it aur khud ki chote thik karo main khud kar lungi....

She said gritting her teeth. Kiyaan didn't said anything & held her leg tightly.

KIYAAN: Voti Saheba get coconut water for your Bhabhi Maa. 

POOJA: Bhaiyu isse clean karna padega....

Kiyaan nodded & carried her in his arms & went to guest room's bathroom & made her sit on stool in water closet & cleaned the wound till good 15 - 20 minutes. Then he again carried her to living room & made her sit on sofa. Siya forwarded her coconut water & she glared at Kiyaan.

ANGRE: Ghuriye mat dehydration ho jaega so without arguments have it.

RIDDHIMA: Tum dono...

AJAY: Gudiya please have it.

Kiyaan silently pat dried the skin. 

KIYAAN: Pooji make me wear gloves. 

He with one hand held her leg & wore gloves & then gave another hand. This way he asked for cleanser with which he cleaned her wounds, then applied antibacterial cream & covered the bandage. 

He stood up & said.

KIYAAN: Remove your shrug. 

She just removed her shrug. Kiyaan picked glass pieces from her arm & treated that injury too. Once done Riddhima too treated Kiyaan's wound on his arm. 

RIDDHIMA: Kya zaroorat thi tum dono ko waha aane ki?

ANGRE: Aap ko kya zaroorat thi waha jaane ki?

RIDDHIMA: Jaungi har roz jaungi kya kar loge haan infact wahi shift ho jaungi dekhti hu kya kar lete ho?

She too barked at them. 

KIYAAN: Jaa kar dekhiye ek baar. Ek kadam aur main jaunga Afghanistan akele without security. 

RIDDHIMA: Mujhe dhamki de rahe ho?

KIYAAN: Nahi meri itni hesiyat kaha ki aap ko dhamki de pau bas woh kya hain na aap hi ke nakshe kadam par chalna seekha hain na toh jo yeh aap khud ki zindagi ko jand karne pe tule hue ho na toh bas woh hi raste jaa raha hu.

Prithvi knew they'll get into very ugly fight so intervened.

PRITHVI: Itni chot kaise aae?

ANGRE: Puchiye inse. Waha jab hum guards ke saath baat kar rahe the ki andar jaane de jo woh maan nahi rahe the inke kehne par tab kisine waha mansion par attack kar diya kyun ki kisi ko already pata tha ki koi andar hain. Jaise hi yeh bahar nikli they threw bomb on her but luckily Kiyaan saved her on time.

KIYAAN: Aur yeh bina bullet proof jacket pehne gun lekar pahonch chuki thi bahar. 

PRITHVI: Riddhima pehli baat toh sab jaante hue bhi kyun gae thi waha aap?

NEELA: Kya chal raha hain aap ke dimaag mein? 

ANGRE: Hazaar baar bola hain ki ese stunts pull mat kiya kijiye par kisi ki sun ni hi nahi hain naa aap ko?

KIYAAN: For god's sake Di stop risking your life. 

Riddhima was already stressed & all this things made her frustrated which broke her limits & she roared,

RIDDHIMA: Mar toh nahi gae na so just leave it....

This was it & Kiyaan lost his control too.

KIYAAN: Pata bhi hain agar ek second ki bhi deri ho jaati toh cheethre cheethre ud jaate aap ke....

RIDDHIMA: Ud jaate toh ud jaate kya hi reh gaya hain. Zyada se zyada kya hoga mar hi jaungi na jala dena.

Everyone gasped hearing her words & also due to the intensity of the vase breaking sound. Her words provoked Vansh & he threw the vase & he taking long strides went to her & holded her from shoulders pulling her closer.

VANSH: Kya samajh rakha hain khud ko haan? Koi kuch nahi bol raha hain isiliye jo man mein aaya woh karogi. Hazaar baar, hazaar baar samjhaya hain stop risking your life but nahi who am I to listen anyone right?

Siya knew Vansh's hold was tight on Riddhima so she was going to stop him but Kiyaan pulled him.

KIYAAN: Dare you stop Bhai.....

Siya shivered hearing his dangerous tone & stopped & took her steps back. 

VANSH: Bahot shaukh chada hain na marne ka na chalo....

He pulled her to garden along with him. All went behind him to stop him but alas his limits were crossed. He made her stand in between garden & pulled Kiyaan & Angre too. He went to garage & came with diesel can & threw upon himself & Kiyaan & Angre too. 

ELDERS, REHAAN, ARYAN, SIYA, ISHANI, POOJA: Vansh/Bhai/Jiju (shouted)....

VANSH: Khabardaar koi beech mein aaya toh....

His red eyes & cold face was so dangerous that shocked everyone. He also poured diesel around them.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh..... (shouted)

He took lighter from his pocket & shoved in her palm. 

VANSH: Maar do sab ko aur phir karo jo karna hain. Koi tumhein rokne wala nahi hoga.

Riddhima threw lighter away & shouted,

RIDDHIMA: Stop it just stop it.....

VANSH: Why????

She pulled him holding his collars & yelled gritting her teeth,

RIDDHIMA: Pagal ho age ho kya? Sab ki jaan khatre mein kaise daal sakte ho kisi ko kuch ho jata toh.....

VANSH: Kyun kya hi farak pad jata mar hi jaate, cheethre hi ud jaate, jala dena....

RIDDHIMA: Vansh.....

Hearing his her whole insides churned & she shouted on top of her lungs....

VANSH: Chilao mat Riddhima.....

He too yelled back. 

VANSH: Kyun dard hua, takleef hui, dar laga? Tumhare emotions sab samjhe aur tumhein kisi ke nahi samajhne. Bahot bhoot chada hain na marne ka maar do sab ko aur phir jo karna hain karo koi nahi aaega kuch bolne. Har ek cheez ki ek had hoti hain. Har baar sab tumhein samjhe yeh rishte ko kamzor kar deta hain get that in your brain & heart. Just for once try to undertsand others emotions too. Also I'm not gonna tolerate anything bad that comes to family. If I'm a soft kind hearted person then I'm a possessive man too for my loved ones. And I don't allow anyone to ruin their peace & happiness & will got to any extent to protect it. No one is allowed to ruin it or they'll see the devil inside me. 

SIYA: Vansh Bhai please....

Siya said while crying. Vansh glared at her & pushing Riddhima a little stormed to Rehaan's room but not before giving warning to everyone.

VANSH: Khabardaar agar hum dono ke mamle mein koi bolne aaya aur isse sar chadha ne ki koshish toh bilkul hi mat karna. 

Kiyaan & Angre were too angry & they too left but not before taking everyone with them except Siya. Siya took her inside & helped her in changing & made her drink turmeric milk in which she had added sleeping pills. Next morning she woke up late due to effects of medicines & found only elders at home. She so wanted to talk to Vansh but he was in office so she decided to cook but Uma stopped her,

UMA: Beta already tumhare pairo mein chot aae hain kaam karegi tu toh woh aur gussa karega.

RIDDHIMA: Maa toh kya karu Papa ne office jaane se mana kar diya hain.

UMA: Beta araam kar aur kuch nahi karna hain. 

Riddhima pouted & went back to her room. Thinking what to do she got an idea & ordered canvas & paints & other required stuff. Then wearing Rehaan's headphone which was connected to the music system in their room she played Vansh's favourite playlists & started painting. It was lunch time & Chanchal came to call her & found her enjoying her me time she let her be & because of that she had late lunch. She grinned widely finishing painting & then at evening she was playing with Shivi's baby in garden & all came back from office. Vansh seeing her smiling & talking with baby his heart started seeing dreams of her being mother of their baby. The thought itself made him shiver from inside. Also the way the baby was comfortable & happy around her made him know that how much she loves kids. Vansh went to Shivi & kept his hand on her head making her smile.

VANSH: Kaisi ho?

SHIVI: Thik hu Vansh bas yeh janab pura din thaka dete hain mujhe aaj toh Riddhima thi toh ache se neend puri ho gae. Yeh janab bas isi ke paas chup rehta hai aur khelta hai.

VANSH: Main soch raha tha baby ka naamkaran rakh de muhurat nikalwa kar.

SHIVI: Haan jaisa sab bado ko thik lage....

VANSH: Waise Hiren do din se aaya nahi hain.

Shivi bit her lips & Vansh knew something was bothering her so he asked if he could help her.

SHIVI: Actually baby ke aane ke baad we couldn't give time to each other & last weekend he ditching every plan & following hectic schedule cleared time for me so that we could make up to each other but baby was so cranky & I got busy in him so he got frustrated & said ki main usse waqt nahi deti isiliye naraaz hain. 

VANSH: Idiot he is....

SHIVI: Vansh if you don't mind kya aaj raat tum baby ko thodi der ke liye sambhaloge toh main Hiren ko drive par leke jana chahti hu....

VANSH: Don't worry we all are here. Tu jaa ke aa aur us stupid ko meri aur se do chaar thapad bhi dena. 

Shivi laughed & nodded. Vansh was about to go but Shivi stopped him.

SHIVI: Thank you Vansh for giving me such a beautiful family. Sab mera aur baby ka bahot khayal rakhte hain aur pyaar bhi karte hain. They never let me feel ki I'm not a part of family.

VANSH: Because you're a part of this family Shivi. You're daughter of this house & my sister. Never ever say anything like this again. Yeh tumhara maayka hain aur tumhara parivaar bhi. 

Shivi nodded with moist eyes being emotional. Talking with each other they were stealing glances at Riddhima who was so busy in playing with the baby. 

SHIVI: Vansh she'll be a good mother.....

Vansh smiled & nodded. After dinner Riddhima said to Siya,

RIDDHIMA: Siya let's play board games. Kitna time ho gaya nahi khela....

SIYA: Thik hain main lekar aati hu.

RIDDHIMA: Umm... Vansh ko bhejo na humare room mein. Meri toh nahi sunenge par tumhare kehne se jaenge. 

SIYA: Vansh Bhai chaliye na board games khelte hain. 

VANSH: Kaha rakhe hain?

SIYA: Aap ke room mein...

VANSH: Main nahi jaa...

SIYA: Bhai aap lekar aao tab tak hum arrangements kar dete hain. 

Everyone understood her trick & agreed. Vansh sighed & went to their room & as soon as he went Riddhima ran behind him. As soon as he entered inside he found a covered easel & he pulled the cloth & found his portrait. Riddhima went to him & back hugged him & he knew she did everything.

RIDDHIMA: I'm sorry meri Jaan.....

Vansh so wanted to grab her & kiss her senselessly. He wanted to express how he's feeling seeing her art work of his portrait. She on the otherside feeling his warmth after these many days was feeling ecstatic. Her soft tender palm on his heart was clearly able to feel his heartbeat. He closed his eyes & taking deep breath turned & went to console unit to take games.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh aap ko portrait pasand aaya?

VANSH: Kyun tumhein kaha kuch fark padta hain ki mujhe kya pasand hain aur kya pasand nahi hain?

RIDDHIMA: Ansh esi baat nahi hain.

Vansh didn't spoke anything & taking board games left the room. Riddhima pouted & kept that portrait on one of the console unit & then joined everyone. Shivi came downstairs with her baby & Vansh stood up & took her in his arms. 

VANSH: Shivi tu befikar ho kar jaa baby ko hum sambhal lenge.

SHIVI: Thank you Vansh....

Vansh was playing with the baby & soon Rudra too joined him. Riddhima was admiring him & clicked his few pictures too. 

RIDDHIMA: Mujhe sab se kuch baat karni hain.

PRITHVI: Hmmm...

RIDDHIMA: Chachu main soch rahi thi iss baar reunion mein aap, Kiyaan aur Angre jao. 

KIYAAN: What's cooking in your brain?

RIDDHIMA: I want you both to go deep into the school life of Mumma & Daddaa... Unke bachmates, teachers, their bonding, moments everything. 

ANGRE: Kisi par shak hain aap ko?

RIDDHIMA: Pata nahi kadiya jud nahi rahi hain. Aur jo koi bhi hain unhein bahot andar tak ki khabre pata hain. Aur koi ek dushman nahi hain kisi ek ke bas ki baat nahi hain yeh sab karna....

ZALA: Tum bhi chalo...

RIDDHIMA: Main nahi aa sakti kuch kaam pada hain. 

AJAY: I agree with your point beta because Shekhar never let any innocent get hurt aur isi chakar mein he had many fights. Also many where jealous from both of them due to many reasons like their looks, personality, smartness, themselves being prince & princess & also because they were a couple. 

VANSH: Papa that means waha agar unmein se koi ho toh sab par khatra badh jaega...

ANGRE: I'll make the security arrangements. 

AJAY: Alright then kaun kaun aa raha hain?

RUDRA: Ajay Bhai me & Chanchal have to go to Hyderabad waha Chanchal ke friend ke bete ka wedding hain.

Before anyone could reply Aryan's phone rang & he said.

ARYAN: Excuse me everyone I need to take this call.

UMA: Everything alright beta.....

ARYAN: Haan Badi Maa....

He went to his room & youngsters looked at each other with a smile knowing whose call it is. Vansh & Angre had some eye talk & Angre said.

AJAY: Okay Rudra aap dono ho aao.

UMA: Haan aur kuch aur din ki chuti lekar jana waha have a nice holiday.

SIYA: Papa main aur Ishu to aaenge....

RIDDHIMA: Rehaan you should go you too need a holiday.

REHAAN: Bhabhi Maa par kaam...

RIDDHIMA: Ho jaega itna stress mat lo kaam ka bacha. 

REHAAN: Okay as you say Bhabhi Maa. Main bhi chalunga Papa.

AJAY: Vansh????

VANSH: Dekhta hu....

Ajay rolled his eyes knowing he's gonna join but want to tease Riddhima. 

KIYAAN: Di aap?

RIDDHIMA: Sab jao main yahi hu aur waise bhi Shivi aur baby ko akela nahi chod sakte na....

REHAAN: Bhabhi Maa main yahi ruk jata hu phir....

RIDDHIMA: Nahi Rehaan main thik hu aur waise bhi tumhein break ki zaroorat hain abhi....

AJAY: Riddhima beta tune esa kyun kiya waise, tum itni khoe khoe toh kabhi nahi rehti ho? Aur esi laparwahi aur gussa?????

RIDDHIMA: Pa...Papa woh...

AJAY: Hmmm...

She didn't said anything but just went to him & sat down near him & hided her face near his knees. Uma shifted aside & Ajay pulled her up & she hugged him. He knew something is off so he kissed her head & said,

AJAY: Tera baap zinda hain abhi aur itna toh capable hain ki tu usse kuch bhi bata pae.

She nodded & sat facing him folding her legs wiping her tears.

RIDDHIMA: Papa Mumma aur Dadda kuch kehna chahte hain par main kuch samajh nahi paa rahi hu. 

Her voice choked & Ajay caressed her head & wiped her tears shaking his head telling her not to cry. 

RIDDHIMA: I know sab ko lagta hain ki main pagal hu ki keh rahi hu ki woh zinda hain par....

Ajay immediately cut her in middle.

AJAY: Beta if you feel & think ki zinda hain toh hain koi aur proof nahi chahiye....

RIDDHIMA: Papa main ese hi nahi keh rahi. Har pal mujhe yeh ehsaas ho raha hain, mehsoos ho raha hain ki woh mujhse kuch keh rahe hain par main samajh nahi paa rahi hu. 

AJAY: Betiyo ka dil kabhi jhuth nahi bolta. Hum sab hain tere saath beta.

RIDDHIMA: Papa they needs me I know mujhe ahaat hoti hain they needs me par main kuch nahi kar paa rahi hu. 

AJAY: Kuch aur bhi baat hain na????

RIDDHIMA: Papa koi lagatar dhamkiya de raha hain. Aur jaise dhamkiya mil rahi hain it's very clear ki unhein bahot andar se sab pata hain. 

RUDRA: Kya threats mile hain bata sakti ho beta?

Riddhima nodded & called Bob & he came with big box. Riddhima took it & opened & gave the letters too Ajay & Rudra. Reading it they forwarded it to Zala, Kiyaan & Angre. 

RUDRA: Boxes????

RIDDHIMA: Isi mein hain....

Rudra & Ajay stood up & opened & looked at each other & seeing their tensed face Zala along with boys stood up & opened it. 

VANSH: Kitne time se aa raha hain yeh sab?

RIDDHIMA: Indonesia gae tab peeche se aaya tha aur tabhi se aa raha hain.

She said biting her lips knowing he'll get more angry because she hided it & it even took toll on her health. He always told her not to take this much stress & share with anyone. He glared at her & Kiyaan spoke,

KIYAAN: Pooji kal yeh sab lab lekar jaana aur pata kar ki kitna original hain aur kitna fake. Also agar koi finger prints trace ho toh batana. 

POOJA: Kya hain Bhaiyu????

ANGRE: Body parts....

LADIES, PRITHVI, AKSHAT & GIRLS: Kya???? (shocked)

PRITHVI: Riddhima itna sab hote hue aap aaj Kapoor Mansion kaise jaa sakti hain?

VANSH: Rehne dijiye Mama Sa isse samjhane ka koi faida nahi hain. 

He left to study not wanting to burst on her. Pooja was busy in checking everything so Ishani asked.

ISHANI: Pooja dar nahi lagta tumhein....

Pooja smiled & shook her head.

POOJA: It's my work Ishani. Forensic Science always fascinated me.

Ishani smiled & nodded.
