Two days passed & today Riddhima was playing basket ball since afternoon. It was like she was trying to remove her inner emotions, she was hitting ball & doing goals so harshly. On the otherside Kiyaan & Angre were busy in playing table tennis. Pooja was lying down keeping her head in Zala's lap. All were watching her. Pooja not able to see them like this went to Angre & hugged him.

POOJA: Bas Bhaiyu please......

Angre threw the racket & hugged her. Siya went to Kiyaan & hugged him. Both brothers controlled themselves & went to have snacks but alas Riddhima was not in a mood to stop.

AJAY: Vansh beta go & stop her.

Vansh looked at Siya & she didn't said anything. He remembered her words that she described about her & then looked at Riddhima. Her eyes were depicting many emotions which he couldn't decipher.

VANSH: Papa let her be.

All sat there watching her playing. Kiyaan finishing snacks went to her & she threw ball at her in anger.

KIYAAN: Come on Di let's have a match.

She gave a small nod & both started playing.

RUDRA: Zala Bhai you're too silent today.

REHAAN: Haan Chachu warna aap toh kabhi inke health ke saath risk nahi lete. Bhabhi Maa ne thik se khaya bhi nahi hain aur lunch ke baad se ese khele jaa rahi hain. Aap ne kuch nahi kaha.....

ZALA: Kya hi bolu beta. Asaan nahi hain teeno ke liye.

Pooja was fiddling with her fingers & Angre noticed it.

ANGRE: Ki hoya mere chotu ju?

POOJA: Aap gussa ni karoge na????

ANGRE: Kabhi tere par gussa kitha si???

Pooja shook her head with a sheepish smile & Angre pinched her nose. She sat on her knees near his ears & Angre bent a little knowing her this habit since childhood.

POOJA: Iss baari Dad took mind controlling medicines....

She whispered in his ears making his eyes widened & he shouted in shock.

ANGRE: What????

She looked at him & bobbed her head. Seeing her expressions she punched her throat & said,

POOJA: Sachi Bhaiyu maine khud vekhiya si aur onu ne bola bhi.

Zala understood & glared at her. Angre glared back at him & said,

ANGRE: Chotu nu ki vekhiya si e ki ktha aap ne?

ZALA: Tujh se kuch baat chupti nai na inse....

POOJA: Di ne bola hain ki koi baat family mein chupani ni hain. Aur mein toh choti hu naa toh mujhe toh sab share karna chahiye. Masi Maa aur Dadda bhi e baat bolte the isiliye maine bata di....

She said with a pout & all were awww over her cuteness & innocence.

PRITHVI: Kya baat hain beta humein nahi bataegi?

She looked at Angre who nodded.

POOJA: Dad is taking mind controlling medicines.

Everyone were shocked & looked at Zala.

NEELA: Kab se???

ZALA: Riddhima aur Vansh yaha Mumbai aae tab se...

PRITHVI: Yeh kya baat hui beta? Aap khud doctor ho inn sab ki side effects ke baare mein jaante ho phir bhi....

ZALA: Mama Sa nahi bardasht hota ab. Har saal toh Riddhima himmat deti thi par iss baar bahot dar lag raha hain. Shekhar ne uss waqt ek cheeze maangi thi mujhse ki uske bacho ki khushiyo ka khayal rakhna specially ye teen uski rajkumariya...

He chuckled sadly.

ZALA: Jhuth nahi bolunga meri ruh kaanp uth thi hain. Aap ko pata hain jab pata chala na ki Shekhar aur Jahnvi kidnap ho chuke hain Riddhima ki saansein ruk gae thi. Aap toh jaante hain kaisi massom si bachi thi woh.

He remembered an incident & said,

ZALA: Pata hain Vansh how innocent & pure soul she is. Ek din hum picnic gae the Amritsar aur yeh saare dog ke saath khel rahe the aur usse bahot dar lagta tha so she & Shekhar were talking & god knows what talks they used to do kabhi khatam hi nahi hoti thi. Phir waha ek puppy aaya uske paas & she was so terrified aur woh shararat Myra aur Kiyaan ki thi. She was running ahead & puppy behind. Ese mein uss puppy ka pair khade mein phas gaya aur usse chot lag gae. That puppy cried & hearing it she turned & seeing the blood from that puppy's leg made her eyes glassy. She was crying because usse chot lagi thi. She took promise from Shekhar ki uss puppy ko na woh doctor ke paas lekar jae & we had to run to veteran. She cried till doctor said that it's normal injury & the puppy will be fine. Tab jaa kar shaant hui woh.

ANGRE: Itna hi nahi phir woh uss puppy ko ghar bhi lekar aae thi. Ghar aa kar Kiyaan aur Myra ko kya daant padi thi. She literally used to shiver seeing the puppy because unko bahot dar lagta tha par phir bhi Papa ke saath jaa kar roz uski care karti thi. Like she used to force everyone to apply medicine to him on time & to make sure he gets meals timely.

VANSH: Itni soft hearted thi woh???

POOJA: Soft hearted matlab Jiju woh mujhse bhi zyada innocent aur soft thi. Bhaiyu aur Di humesha mujhe bolte the ki Pooji ki hoga tera. Dadda na always used to make me learn new naughtiness & stunts. Kehte the mera jigra inna vi changa ni bante par Di ke aane ke baad toh woh aur Maasi Maa Di nu kehte the betu ki hoga tera tu toh Chotu se bhi innocent hain.

ZALA: Uss waqt apne Mumma aur Dadda ke liye she gathered herself & also seeing these four playing. Umang ke saath milkar hum dhund ne nikle. Woh ek taraf gaya tha aur main aur Riddhima ek taraf. Umang ko location mil gae & he went there humare mana karne ke bawajood bhi woh akela chala gaya. Hum gae tab dekha ki Umang ko bhi in logo ne pakad liya hain. When we reached there....

He couldn't say further & palmed his face. Angre wanted to know everything so he said,

ANGRE: Pooja aap aur Mami Sa andar jao bacha aur dekh lo dinner ban gaya ki nae....

Both went inside & then Angre went to Zala & kneeled down before him,

ANGRE: Chachu jo bhi bata pao please share karo. Humein unke gunhegaro ko pakad ne mein shayad koi clue mil jae.

Zala understood his point & started sharing,

ZALA: Koi purani factory thi. Umang ne apni team ke saath milkar bahar ka location clear kar rakha tha. Bahot log nahi the waha isiliye we decided ki guards bahar sambhale aur route clear rakhe because phir andar toh Shekhar, Umang aur main honge. Saath mein humare trusted men bhi the. Jaise hi hum chip kar andar gae we could hear Shekhar & Umang's voice full of anger. We went that side & found their legs on nail board. Hands & legs tied & were covered full of goons who were beating them with different instruments &....

ANGRE: &.....

ZALA: Jahn...Jahnvi Bha...Bhabhi.... getting....

Angre stumbled hearing it & tears rolled down his eyes. Rehaan & Uma were fast enough to hold him. Siya knew it's her time to be strong for her family. She wiped her tears & went to Zala & holding her palm with her both hands encouraged him to continue,

ZALA: Our team was fighting from the other side. Riddhima was frozed seeing all these. Jahnvi Bhabhi ki cheekh se woh hosh mein aae she was going to run to her but we were not in a situation to risk more lives. Umang aur meri nazre ek hui & he signalled ki our guards are finishing their work & be careful. Their torture on Jahnvi Bahbhi was increasing each moment which was boiling our blood & the most affected were father duo. Due to immense torture trio lost their senses. Not able to control herself she ran to Jahnvi & just hugged the crying Jahnvi in her arms. She was in the worst condition. Her body full of scars & blood & that soul wrenching torture. This caught those kidnappers attention & till then guards came & fight started. Luckily we managed to open the ropes of Umang & Shekhar. Their health was worst & we had to keep them conscious so we just focused on that forgetting that where we are. Shekhar opened his eyes hearing Riddhima & Jahnvi's name. He wanted to go to Jahnvi & we knew it will keep him in senses & will help Jahnvi Bhabhi too. Umang was made to drink water & he was good enough. He gathering himself started handling goons. Shekhar & Riddhima made Jahnvi's condition bit good. We were about to just rescue them but tables turned & many goons came & we were trapped. They tied us again & Riddhima was screaming to let Shekhar, Jahnvi & Umang go. She was telling them to take her life & Shekhar & Jahnvi were screaming not to even lay his eyes on her. That man came to know that definitely she's Shekhar Singh Kapoor's & Jahnvi Singh Sisodiya Kapoor's most priced possession. Umang & me were trying to trap him in talks so they don't lay eyes on her & he realsied that definitely she's the apple of eye of three most powerful royal families of India. Within an hour a man came & he directly went to Riddhima & we were screaming to keep her out but all went in vain. That man came & again tortured us infront of her making her weak so she could agree with his condition without second thought. Hum bolte rahe, cheekhte rahe, bheekh maante rahe to leave her but it was deaf ears to him. Again few more people came & seeing us they went to Riddhima. They said to Riddhima ki "Humari ek condition hain aur agar tum maan gae toh hum in sab ko jaane denge" she without hearing completely said, "Jo bologe woh karungi mere Mumma, Dadda, Mama Sa aur Chachu ko jaane do. Unhein torture mat karo please. Main tum sab ke saamne haath jodti hu, paav padti hu jo bologe woh karungi unhein jaane do please." She said looking at Shekhar, Umang & Jahnvi who were lying lifeless on floor in pool of blood. Not an inch of their body was without scars. Uss phool si bachi ke saamne uski puri duniya ujad chuki thi. Apne Mumma aur Dadda ko laash bante apni aankho se saamne dekha hain usne. Shaitan ke bhi rongte khade ho jae aur haiwan bhi kaanp jae esi dardnaak cheekhein apne Maa Baap se suni hain usne. Uss din usne apne aap ko kho diya. As she agreed to their condition we were freed. She immediately came to us & kept Shekhar & Jahnvi's hand giving them her kasam to leave. Woh nahi maane aur woh boli ki hum nahi gae toh woh apni jaan de denge. Uski zid Shekhar ki tarah thi so Umang signalled me to leave & he'll bring her. Humne wahi kiya. Pata nahi jaise taise woh dono bhaag kar hospital aae. Sab pahonch chuke the & Umang was taken for treatment but lost his battle. She went to both & found them in their last moments. Their Shekhar & Jahnvi Bhabhi in front of family lawyer named everything on her name, told her to be brave & run from here & be safe. Both lost their life in her lap. Apni nazro ke saamne dam todte dekha hain usne apne Mumma aur Dadda ko. Kis hak se bolu ki mat karo. Kaise sambhalti hain khud ko woh khud hi jaanti hain.

All were crying hearing it. Vansh's blood was boiling & the moment she looked at Angre, Kiyaan & Riddhima it increased his anger more.

VANSH: Kya condition thi????

Hearing it Zala, Angre, Siya & Prithvi froze. Before anyone could speak Siya spoke,

SIYA: Iske aage koi kuch nahi puchega.....

AKSHAT: Siya....

SIYA: Dadu please. Aage ka part Bhabhi Maa ka hain. Yeh unka hak hain batana aur yeh decide karna ki woh batana chahti hain ya nahi. Aap se request karti hu infact sab se koi kabhi unse kuch nahi puchega. Unka man karega tab bata degi warna nahi.

Raisinghanias were shocked seeing Siya's behaviour because she was never like this. Vansh y Ajay shared a look but stayed silent. Siya wiped Angre's tears & cupping his face made her look at him.

SIYA: Angre Bhai jo hua hum usse badal nahi sakte par agar hum haar maan gae toh unke gunhegaro ko saza bhi nahi de paenge. Jaanti hu assan nahi hain isiliye kahingi bhi nahi bhul jae but rather make it your strength to get yourself too those bastards. The scars are deep & painful but make them your power. Aur dekhiye waha...

She made him look at Kiyaan & Riddhima. Angre looked at them & looked at Siya listening to her.

SIYA: Dekh rahe hain unhein, Kiyaan being emotional person is trying to gather himself. Bhabhi Maa is losing her senses because she can't have drugs. These many years despite everything she stayed like a rock for all of you, for us. Kiyaan himmat jhuta paa rahe hain because aap strong ho, Pooja aur Myra khud ko sambhaal rahi hain because they don't want to be weakness. Aap charo agar strong rahe toh Bhabhi Maa sambhal jaegi. We all are together staying strong for us, for Maa, Papa & Mama Sa. Bhabhi Maa jab saari hadein paar kar sakti hain toh hum unke liye itna toh kar sakte hain na ki kamzor naa pade woh bhi itne tak aa kar.

Angre nodded & hugegd her tight. Breaking the hug she wiped his tears & Vansh not able to control himself went to Riddhima & pulled her in his arms to which she instantly tightened the hold. She was breathing heavily & Vansh was rubbing her back & hairs.

VANSH: I love you...

Just few tears made her way out of her eyes & she snuggled more to him seeking some peace. All went to dinner & eating few morsels those scenes were repeating infront of her eyes &bshe started shivering. She tried to get up but fell down due to unbalance. All ran to her & she clutched Angre & Kiyaan's hands sweating & crying badly.

RIDDHIMA: Get me drugs. I can't do this. Get me drugs Kiyaan, Angre get me fucking drugs.

ANGRE: Di please try to understand.

She was getting out of control & was losing her sane mind. Kiyaan & Angre hugged her but she pushed them hard.

RIDDHIMA: Mu...mumma ku....kuch nahi hoga. Da...dadda yahi hain aap ke paas dekho.... See hu...hum hain na. Mumma.....

She said crawling because she was still feeling Jahnvi lying lifeless being raped & tortured infront of her. All were numb seeing her state.

RIDDHIMA: Mumma aankhein kholiye Mumma. Aap ki evtu hain na aap ke paas kuch nahi hoga. Aap toh meri strong Mumma hain na. Aap ko pata hain ghar par aap ke bache wait kar rahe hain. Aap kuch toh bolo, Dadda Mumma ko bolo na. Mumma please Mumma please kuch toh bolo, aap ki betu bula rahi hain aap ko Dadda... Dadda please Mumma ko bolo na woh aap ki baat kabhi nahi taalti na.... Aap tension mat lo Mumma aap ko kuch nahi hoga. Chachu hain abhi aap ko thik kar denge. Hum yaha se jaldi chale jaenge Mumma. Aap bas alne betu par bharosa rakho...

Kiyaan & Angre pulled her to his arms but she was wiggling,

RIDHDIMA: Chodo mujhe meri Mumma ke paas jaane do. Aap sab bahot gande ho aap ne mere Mumma aur Dadda ko aur Mama Sa ko hurt kiya hain. Mumma Dadaa...

She screamed last & Angre breaking the hug shook her hard.

ANGRE: Hosh mein aaiye Di....

He shouted at the top of his lungs shaking her vigorously in which he was successful. She realised & looked at Kiyaan & Angre & said,

RIDDHIMA: Main mar jaungi drugs ke bina. Please get me drugs main jo consequences honge usse lad lungi. Get me drugs please....

She begged & being tired kept her chin on their knees. Angre carried her in his arms taking her to her room. He made her lay down & tricking her made her sleep. On the other hand Kiyaan sat down leaning on table. Pooja called Myra & told everything. She came running to Kiyaan after finishing the call. Kiyaan seeing her blinked his eyes not letting tears flow.

POOJA: Bhaiyu...

KIYAAN: Haan mera bacha bol...

He said trying to smile cupping her face. She holded his hand from wrist which was on her cheeks.

POOJA: Myra Di ne bola ki Riddhi Di nu humein divert karna hoga. We should do things she likes & dislikes simultaneously. Matlab jo cheez unhein oasand ho divert kare woh karne do jaise she played basketball. But when we feel she's losing interest & remembering those jaise abhi hua toh make her do things which she don't like & being frustrated she'll again get back to things which she likes.

REHAAN: So technically as Myra said abhi humein unke jaagne ke baad unhein irritate karne wala kaam karwana hain.

Pooja nodded.

VANSH: Arrange for movie night. She literally gets frustrated saying it's useless & waste of time.

All agreed. Siya compelled everyone to have dinner. She made sure everyone had it properly. Finishing they went to see brother sister duo & found her sleeping. Neela made Angre eat with her own hands. As she was asleep they cancelled movie night for a time. Wanting her to rest they left kissing her head. Ajay took Vansh for a walk.

AJAY: Kya baat hain aap apni Jaan se dur hain woh bhi jab woh iss halat mein?

VANSH: Pata nahi Papa everything is so confusing. Jo deekh raha hain usse kae zyada dard chupae bethi hain woh. Uske paas jana chahta hu par...

AJAY: Par...

VANSH: Siya ki baatein dil dimaag se nahi jaa ti.

He shared what Siya said. (Chapter - 283)

VANSH: Papa Siya ka behaviour bahot change ho gaya hain. Woh dekh kar bahot dar lagta hain. Woh hum dono se bahot pyaar karti hain & also she used to say Bhai aap Bhabhi Maa ke saath honge na toh woh duniya se lad jaegi aap toh unki zindagi ho, duniya ho aap unki, woh aap ke liye jeeti hain. Par jab se usne kaha hain na woh sab dil bahot bechain sa rehta hain. Kya karu kuch samajh nahi aata. Upar se usse sab kuch pata hain aur usne soch samajh kar hi kaha hoga jo bhi kaha hain isliye I'm just trying to do what's best for everyone.

Later at night Ajay talked to Siya & she even warned him to stay away from her which confused him but rather agreed.
