VANSH: Jaan do you need my help in arranging all this in closet?

RIDDHIMA: Nahi main kar dungi.

VANSH: Okay then abhi karne ka man naa ho toh keep in last closet neeche khali hain.

RIDDHIMA: Aap kahi jaa rahe ho?

VANSH: Hmm.. Rehaan seems bit off. His behaviour is changing rapidly. Office mein bhi dekha hain kae baar kho jaata hain, aur bahot gussa bhi karne laga hain.

RIDDHIMA: I've noticed too...

VANSH: Tum yeh kardo main baat kar ke aata hu.

RIDDHIMA: Call me if you need me to be there.

VANSH: Sure...

Vansh went & Riddhima kept everything in closet & after taking shower was in closet in bathrobe thinking whether she should wear the lingerie she bought or not. There was still fear in her mind & heart but still she decided to take a step.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh toh baat karne gae hain. I'll try agar thik laga toh pehnungi otherwise I'll change.

She talked to herself & changed into that piece.

(Imagine her in this dress)

She dried her hairs & did her skincare & decided to check in mirror. She was lost seeing herself. It was as if she was some other girl. Her trance was disturbed by a call & she went to bedroom to take her phone. Seeing Bob's call late at night she frowned & immediately accepted it & forgot that she was in which outfit. Vansh on the other side came back early after talking with Aryan & Angre because Rehaan was asleep. Vansh opened the door & Riddhima cut the call at the same time & turned. Vansh's eyes widened & Riddhima seeing his expressions frowned & looked at herself & realised she was in the new lingerie only. Vansh gulped because she was looking hot, cute & sexy at the same time & words didn't came out of his mouth. Riddhima not hearing anything from him took it in a wrong way & her corner of eyes started getting wet. She started fidgeting her fingers & Vansh realised something is wrong because his baby is so naive & innocent to dress like this. He went to her & scooped her in his arms & due to her sudden moment she shrieked & wrapped her hands around his neck. He took her to closet & made her sit on the closet island & went to her closet & took another night wear which was cute unicorn pajama & a short strap top. He gave her in her hands & cupped her face & kissed her forehead.

VANSH: Go & change meri Jaan. We're already late for sleep.

Traitor tears rolled down her eyes & she spoke,

RIDDHIMA: I'm sorry...

VANSH: Why you're saying sorry baby????

He asked softly cupping her face. She held his wrists & said,

RIDDHIMA: I just thought you'd like me in all these so... I do...don't know... woh aaj....

Vansh smiled at her innocence & wiping her tears kissed her eyes.

VANSH: Sweetheart you don't how I felt looking you in this. You're looking heavenly gorgeous. I so wanted to hide you in my arms but as much as I want that I also know you're uncomfortable so I told you to change baby.

She blinked her eyes to not let tears flow & clear her vision & asked.

RIDDHIMA: You liked it? Am I looking beautiful in this?

VANSH: I won't lie Jaan. I didn't liked it, I loved it so so much. And you're looking so stunning that I'm not able to keep my eyes off you.

Riddhima's heart skipped a beat hearing his words & her cheeks turned red making him smile. She hugged him tight & he let her do whatever she wants & wrapped her hands around him.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh...

VANSH: Hmmm...

RIDDHIMA: Is it wrong to wear this?

VANSH: Answer to your question is yes & no both. If you are comfortable it is right to wear this but if you are uncomfortable it is wrong to wear this.

RIDDHIMA: But everyone does...

VANSH: Don't think about everyone think what your heart wants to do not even your mind.

She didn't spoke for sometime & herself broke the silence.

RIDDHIMA: I want to try....

VANSH: You sure meri Jaan?

RIDDHIMA: With you by my side I'm cent percent sure Ansh...

He smiled & kissed her forehead. She jumped off the island & both went to bed & Vansh dimmed the lights & took her in his arms.

VANSH: Baby I'm there for you always. I want to know what came in your mind all of a sudden that you took this step?

RIDDHIMA: We went for shopping & I realised everyone were normal except me in these things. Siya too brought many but I was not courageous enough to buy all those but at last to give try I bought this one. I called Shivi & she too was wearing something like Siya brought. Hiren even commented her & her face was glowing. We even had a girls talk & Maa & Choti Maa too said it's normal but we should wear it only when we are comfortable. I was still confused but I wanted to try so I wore.

VANSH: Okay... I got you. Jaan you've taken a very big step by thinking out of your comfort zone. I really appreciate it & am proud of it. But as I always say & I'll say it today & forever too don't care what others are doing, your comfortableness is the top most priority & we aren't compromising in it ever. If you want to try then I'm here, if you're comfortable we'll be doing it but if you feel uncomfortable we'll be not doing it. Tonight you wanted to try & so we're here but at any moment you feel to quit it's okay, it's normal too. You'll immediately change it, okay my love....

RIDDHIMA: Okay....

He was caressing her hairs & she snuggled closer to him & closed her eyes.

VANSH: I don't know Jaan but today I'm feeling there's something more then Maa's past which is stopping you from being free, which has hurted you beyond limits, broken you from the core. Today more than uncomfortableness there was fear in your eyes but about what I don't know. I need to talk to Siya, Kiyaan & Angre.

He talked to himself while admiring his girl who was sleeping so peacefully in his arms like a baby clinging to him. He pecked her pout & she smiled in sleep. He switched off the dim lights & slept. Next morning Vansh was the first one to wake up & was in no mood to get out of bed. He was admiring her & soon Riddhima's sleep broke by the alarm. She yawned cutely & hiding her face in Vansh's neck mumbled.

RIDDHIMA: Good Morning meri Jaan....

VANSH: A very good morning Sweetheart....

Their sweet moment was disturbed by a knock & she groaned because she was feeling sleepy & was in no mood to talk. Vansh chuckled at her reaction & before he could answer there were another series of knocks.

VANSH: Come in...

He shouted but not before covering Riddhima with comforter.

MYRA: Di aap abhi tak so rahe ho....

KIYAAN: Di chalo jaldi get ready we're getting late.

She just threw cushion at them & shouted.

RIDDHIMA: Get out you both let me sleep.

VANSH: We're joining you all soon.

Kiyaan & Myra smirked & were just going to tease them but Vansh shook his head not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable after last night moments. Seeing his serious face both agreed & went out. Vansh carried her to bathroom & made her sit on vanity. He gave her toothbrush after applying toothpaste & took his. Both brushed & Vansh cleaned her face with water & pat dried it. She wrapped her arms around his neck & her legs around his waist hugging him tight.

VANSH: My baby is feeling lazy????

RIDDHIMA: No your baby just wants to be this close to you. I love you Ansh bahot sara wala....

She said last words cutely making him smile. He kissed her hairs & whispered,

VANSH: I love you meri Jaan.....

She broke the hug & his eyes went to her tattoo. He cupped her face & kissed her forehead & before she could react he took her lips for kiss. Her eyes widened & he pulled her more close to him while sucking her lower lip. She closed her eyes & started sucking his upper lips. Both were kissing each other ever so slowly pouring all their love in it. Riddhima cupped his face & breaking kiss for a while again joined her lips to his. She was fondling his hairs along with one hand & with other hand was caressing his beard while sucking his lips. Her actions made him lose control & slowly his one hand traveled to her shoulder & he removed the shrug from her shoulder & started caressing her tattoo with his thumb sensually while her other hand was working onn her waist. She moaned due to his touches which was igniting his desires. He broke the kiss as she was feeling breathless & looking directly into her eyes leaned a bit down & bit her tattoo & she immediately fisted his hairs tightly & moaned....

RIDDHIMA: Ahhh... Ansh....

Hearing her moan he wrapped her legs around his waist & started sucking over the bite. Her breathe hitched at his this move & she unknowingly pulled him more to her. Vansh sucked, kissed & licked the tattoo till his heart content & then hugged her tight. He could feel her heart racing & he started caressing her head & rubbing her back while peppering kissing on her hairs to make her calm. She didn't said a single word so he broke the silence,

VANSH: Did I hurt you Jaan? Do you felt uncomfort...

Before he could speak she kept her palm on his mouth but still hiding her face in his chest. He softly kissed her palm.

VANSH: Do you liked that? Are you comfortable with our closeness?

He could feel her blushed cheeks & her lips curving into shy smile near his chest but still he needed to hear from her mouth.

RIDDHIMA: I don't know. It was like something so magical. I felt like in total different world. I don't know how to express but I'm cent percent sure Ansh you can never make me feel uncomfortable & you are my happy & safe place so how can I not like our closeness?

He made her look at him & said while caressing her cheek.

VANSH: For a moment you went stiff Jaan. If you are not sure we can stop here you don't need to push yourself so much.

Riddhima shook her head in no & started playing with his beard while looking into his eyes she shared,

RIDDHIMA: Ansh it's just that I don't know anything about all this. I won't lie but it's true I'm unaware of all these things. All this is just so new, so foreign for me. I even don't know what's right & what's not. I don't know how to behave like a wife. That's the reason behind my behaviour, my reactions. But one thing I know is for a moment I can do wrong with myself but you won't do anything wrong with me neither let anyone else do. I feel so comfortable, so peaceful, so happy with you Ansh which I even didn't feel within my own self. To be true I crave for you, kitna yeh main khud bhi nahi jaanti. There's not a single moment in my life where you are not present. When you are around I just want you all for myself & I forget everything around. When you're not around I live in your memories.

While saying her eyes was twinkling, her face was glowing & her smile was brightest. She was looking so peaceful, so contented, so happy which he had never seen her till then. He has always seen that spark in her eyes when she is with him, when she remembers their sweet moments, when she talks about him or them. His eyes turned bit moist feeling so wanted, so loved, so cared, so important. Not able to control himself he hugged her tight. Both didn't need any words to express themselves, their silence was speaking a lot. Caging this moment in their hearts to cherish for lifetime they broke the hug. Kissing her forehead he went to his bathroom to take shower while she got ready in hers. She came wearing cotton dress & completed her look with just her watch & rings that was gifted by Vansh, she added lockets to her wrist as a bracelet & her mangalsutra in neck. Vansh came & she forwarded sindoor & he pecking her lips filled her hairline. Both walked down & found everyone already waiting for both.

RIDDHIMA: Ese toh yeh saare jaagte nahi kabhi time se aaj dekho....

She said pointing towards Kiyaan, Angre, Myra & Pooja. All four pouted & she shook her head with smile at their antics. Vansh was driving & Riddhima was in passenger seat. Kiyaan & Siya were sitting in middle seat while Aryan & Pooja in last seat. In next car Rehaan was driving & Angre was sitting in passenger seat & in back seat Ishani & Pooja were sitting. Ajay, Rudra, Uma & Chanchal were in one car & Prithvi, Neela, Akshat & Rudra in another car. First was Riansh's car & in middle were cars of elders & at last was car of Rehaan & Angre. Ten cars ahead & ten behind were there full of guards escorting them to Kapoor Mansion. As soon as they reached Vansh, Siya & Kiyaan looked at Riddhima.

RIDDHIMA: No one is stepping down before I say...

Saying this she stepped down & Bob came ahead.

BOB: Mam everything is crystal clear. Live hidden CCTV phootages are been under monitoring till outskirts of the city. Our aerial security team is active too & the mansion is thoroughly checked & is heavily guarded. No loopholes are there & no threats.

RIDDHIMA: What if threat arises?

BOB: I bet my life Mam it's not possible but still we've backup covered & arrangements for safe passage has been done & that too not one but five.

Riddhima gave a curt nod & looked around & then went to security room & checked everything. She went to mansion & her one hand was holding gun & other was having walkie talkie. She roamed around & checked each & every corner. Finding everything safe she walked back & sat in car.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh drive the car to basement.

Vansh nodded & she directed him. Other cars followed & once everyone were there she guided them to the main door. She stopped Siya & Kiyaan there.

RIDDHIMA: Siya beta aap iss ghar mein shaadi ke baad pehli baar aae hain. Isiliye aap ka grahpravesh banta hain.

Riddhima did the rituals & all entered inside.

PRITHVI: Riddhima beta itni tight security sab thik hain???

RIDDHIMA: Everything is fine. Just for extra safety.

Kiyaan, Pooja, Angre, Myra & Neela were roaming around the house touching walls & every other things with moist eyes living their old happy memories. Prithvi too joined them. Riddhima gave everyone water & then along with Raisinghania brothers went to kitchen to prepare breakfast. Breakfast was almost prepared so Aryan said,

ARYAN: Bhabhi Maa breakfast kaha karenge waha set kar deta hu?

RIDDHIMA: Open gate to your left Aryan.

Aryan did what she said & a wow whispered from his mouth. Vansh smiled at his reaction & Rehaan's eyes too were wide seeing because there was beautiful kitchen garden & a beautiful table set up there.

(Imagine their kitchen garden like this.)

Riddhima remembered their memories how she was fed by her parents there, how she, Kiyaan, Angre, Myra & Pooja used to do masti & run all over the table & garden & many fun & love filled moments. Her eyes turned moist but she blinked not letting them fall. Finishing breakfast they went to call everyone & founf no one in living room & Riddhima said,

RIDDHIMA: All must be around seeing home.

VANSH: Riddhu aaj I wanna see your room too.

RIDDHIMA: Come I'll show you around.

They roamed for the first floor & then went upstairs on first floor & found everyone in Kiyaan's room. Kiyaan standing in balcony along with Angre, Pooja & Myra. Both sisters were in their brothers' protective arms. As soon as they entered Zala went to her & hugged her tight. Riddhima smiled with tears & rubbed his back.

RIDDHIMA: It's okay Chachu....

Zala breaking hug cupped her face.

ZALA: How????

RIDDHIMA: Itne saal maine kisi ko yaha nahi aane diya na. I knew everyone needed it so yeah.....

Prithvi came to her & kept his hand on hers.

PRITHVI: Don't do this to yourself beta. Hum sab ko khush karne ke chakar mein aap khud ko har ek pal maar rahi hain....

NEELA: Aap ke Mama Sa sach keh rahe hain mat dijiye khud ko ab itni takleef. Iss ghar ko aap ne apne haatho se makan banaya tha aur aap ko toot kar pathar bante dekha hain. Aaj aap ne phir se iss makan ko ghar banaya hain aur phirse aap...

RIDDHIMA: Ab yeh ghar kabhi makan nahi banega Mami Sa.....

ZALA: Beta aap jaanti hain yeh possible nahi hain....

RIDDHIMA: Aur impossible ko possible karna humari fitrat hain....

Saying this she roamed her eyes around reliving every moments & went to balcony.

RIDDHIMA: Kahi bhi ho tum sab ke dil ki ahat mujhe mehsoos ho hi jaati hain.

She said with moist eyes & hoarse voice & all four turning hugged her tight & their control broke & they fell on their knees & hugged her tight. All five cried in each other's embrace. She embraced them like a parent & they cried like children in the arms of their parents. After a emotional moment she calmed everyone & said,

RIDDHIMA: Bacho come on gather up yourself. I've brought you not here so that you all cry. Wapas le jaungi sab ko aur phir kabhi nahi lekar aungi.....

All four immediately wiped their tears & nodded like a toddler making her chuckle. She kissed everyone's forehead.

RIDDHIMA: Breakfast karlo phir dekh lena jitna jee chahe utna.

POOJA: Ni main pehle ghar vekhungi....

She said with a hiccup.

KIYAAN: Main vi...

Angre & Myra looked at each other & said.

ANGRE & MYRA: Hum vi....

RIDDHIMA: Okay chalo...

She stood up & made all four stand. They roamed around all mansion except Jahnvi & Shekhar's room & Riddhima's room. She was pulled to her room & she opened the door.

RIDDHIMA: It's my room.

Everyone's eyes widened seeing it. Room was painted in the shade os pastels & was full of white fur carpet. There was a huge alaskan king sized round bed with white curtains all over. In one corner there was a cozy set up of swing which was decorated with fairy lights. Behind it there were curtains. Riddhima went & opened the curtains & everyone saw there was ceiling to floor glass giving a beautiful view of kitchen garden from one side & backyard too. There were another two doors. One was having balcony & other was of closet & bathroom attached from inside. There was another corner where a tv set up was done. Her another corner had a book shelf & a cute chair was placed & along with it was a huge sized teddy bear & near it was a fireplace. Near that a wall was full of her pictures & along with everyone too. Her balcony had a beautiful tent set up & that too was decorated with fairy lights. A soft mattress & pillows were spreaded. Her pillows were of fur & all cute things giving a cute girly vibe to the room. Every corner was having one or another soft toy. She opened the curtains around the bed & chuckled seeing the soft toys placed over it.

(Imagine bedroom painted like this)

(Imagine swing of 1st picture in white & fairy lights as per 2nd picture)

(Imagine this type of fluffy carpet but in white colour spreaded all around the room.)

(Imagine her bed like this but bugged than this in Alaskan king size. There were cute stuffed toys & cushions on it.)

(Imagine huge cuddle bear like this on her bed & same photo on one of her walls but with laughing face)

(Imagine many stuffed toys & cute pillows on her bed like this.)

(Imagine her balcony like this with stars & fairy lights & on round there were cute soft toys hanging. Having cozy mattress, pillow & comforter.)
