Next morning Riansh were getting ready.

VANSH: Riddhu you want them here right?

He asked as he don't want her to face any hurt due to their past as her maternal family was coming & probably her so called biological family too. She smiled at his care because he's asking this every now & then since yesterday night. She made him sit on chair & stood infront of him taking comb from his hand & started combing it while he wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her closer to him.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh jab tak aap mere saath hain, humari family mere saath hain main duniya ki har mushkil paar kar jaungi, mujhe koi dard takleef nahi de sakta.

He smiled & pulled her on his lap & bit her nose & she scrunched her nose making him laugh.

VANSH: You're so cute baby....

She nodded with a smile at his comment & kissed his cheek.

RIDDHIMA: Aap jao neeche & I'll be having breakfast here only. They'll be coming anytime soon tab tak I'll finish assigning work in office it's important aur aap ka bhi kaam finish kar deti hu.

Vansh nodded.

VANSH: Riddhu one thing more please don't stop anyone now.

Riddhima nodded. Later all were in family room & Virat came.

VIRAT: Sir they are here.

SHEKHAR: Unko formal living room mein wait karwao.

All went to the formal living room & Vansh greeted everyone. There were two elder couples, two middle aged,four younger couples & 3 girls & 2 boys. Mr. Patel introduced everyone to Vansh & vice versa.

DHIRUBHAI (Riddhima's Nana): Rohit (Mr. Patel, RIddhima's youngest Mama) beta inko tum kaise jaante ho?

Rohit looked at Kalpesh (Riddhima's eldest Mama) & both gulped.

ROHIT: Mota Bhai Komal Di ke alawa kisi aur ko bhi miln hain aap sab ko....

Till then Komal & Yash came & Dhirubhai hugged his daughter.

KOMAL: Papa Ri... Ri ne mujhe bachaya Papa...

She said & all were shocked. Till then Riddhima came down & behind her were Bob & Vardhan. There was utter silence. Shekhar hugged Riddhima kissing her forehead.

SHEKHAR: Good Morning Puttar...

RIDDHIMA: Morning Daddaa...

SHEETAL & SUNIL (Riddhima's biological parents): Rid...Riddhima...

They ran to her & before they could reach her Vansh stood before her guarding her.

VANSH: My girl doesn't like to be hugged by strangers.

ROHIT: Didi Jiju please...

Vansh slowly held Riddhima's hands & squeezed softly showing his support. She came aside & said.

RIDDHIMA: Kaun hain aap? Also except my family no one is allowed to call me with first name so its Miss Singh for you all.

Shekhar was fuming in anger seeing them. Jahnvi has held his hand otherwise he'd have lost his cool.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh I need to go to office. Aap yahi raho. Dadda aap chaliye humare saath.

Shekhar nodded with a smile.

RIDDHIMA: Papa, Chote Papa aap dono?

Shekhar shook his head telling them to stay here indirectly & they nodded.

AJAY: Gudiya tum jao hum abhi nahi aa rahe hain.

UMA: Riddhima lunch time par aa jana wapas.

RIDDHIMA: Ji Maa & Mumma Vardhan will give you some important papers to sign sirf aap hi baaki ho dekh lena. Hum chalte hain. Sat Sri Akal, Khamma Ghani...

JAHNVI: Sat Sri Akal, Ghani Khamma Betu...

She hugged Vansh & getting kiss from him she left with Shekhar giving deaf ears to them. Shekhar was silently looking out of the window & they reached orphanage.

VANSH: Komal Maasi aap inke saath beth kar baatein kare agar kuch chahiye toh Mrs. Dsouza se keh dijiyega ya phir hum mein se kisi ko. Hum study mein hain.

KOMAL: Thank you...

Saying this they left. They asked about Riddhima & they all shared the things they knew about her that how they met. All wanted to meet her & wanted to know many things.

ON THE OTHERSIDE AT ORPHANAGE,

Seeing Riddhima children ran to her hugging her making her laugh making Shekhar smile. She played with them had brunch & then returned.

RIDDHIMA: Dadda I know aap sab ko unko punish karna hain. I'm freeing you all from my promises today.

SHEKHAR: You don't want it toh kyun?

RIDDHIMA: Dadda jo bhi ho unhone mujhe janam diya hain. Kabhi kabhi physical torture is not the only way to punish. Imagine we children not calling you & accepting you as parents won't it be the biggest punishment for any parent. Bache na hone se zyada takleef tab hoti hain jab bache hokar bhi aap bina bacho ke raho. Agar humne bhi unke jaise behave kiya toh unmein aur hum mein kya fark reh jaega Dadda. Kill them with your kindness not by degrading yourself.

Shekhar smiled at his daughter's thoughts & he patted her head softly.

RIDDHIMA: Dadda I won't stop you from punishing those who hurted my soul because I myself crossed every limits to get justice to you, Mumma & Mama Sa....

Shekhar smirked knowing Vansh has already started his work.

FLASHBACK,

All the gents of the family were sitting in Vansh's office.

VANSH: Papa Sa I've planned something for Riddhu's culprits. I'm gonna indirectly help them a lot to develop in business indirectly but it will be illegal. At right moment when they'll be so high I'll pull back & then the real torture would be started.

AJAY: But woh humein jaante hain Vansh & also hum ese hi kisi par bharosa bahi kar sakte even when we take help from any other person.

VANSH: Hiren & Himanshu's gonna help. We can trust them.

RUDRA: Nice...

Next day only they discussed everything with Himanshu & Hiren & they have started their work too.

FLASHBACK ENDED

They reached home at evening & went to vantara with Siya. Later at dining table everyone was settled except Riddhima. She came after taking bath & due to this she was late. She came & sat on head chair & said in her authoritative voice.

RIDDHIMA: Mrs. Dsouza dinner serve kar dijiye.

Mrs. Dsouza served her dinner while other butlers served rest of them. Her family was so shocked seeing everything. They were curious to know what happened as they were told by her in laws that she ran away.

RUDRA: Gudiya...

RIDDHIMA: Haan Ji Chote Papa....

RUDRA: Beta how if we go for a drive after dinner?

RIDDHIMA: Thik hain par humein dessert mein jo man hua woh khilaoge na???

EVERYONE: No Ice Cream Beta/Bhabhi Maa/Sweetheart.....

Riddhima glared at them & continued dinner.

VANSH: Chote Papa Ice Cream nahi lekar dena isse. Peechle week mein pura khatam kar diya isne jo Rehaan bana ke gaya tha.

RIDDHIMA: Humne akele nahi khaya Dadda bhi the saath....

VIVEK, JAHNVI, PRITHVI & NEELA: Shekhar....

They shouted & Shekhar glared at Riddhima who shrugged her shoulders. The guests (Riddhima's so called family) were seeing everything silently. Later Riddhima went with Rudra & Shekhar & Vansh smirked.

VANSH: Mr. Patel Riddhu se pehle aap ko humse share karna hoga ki kya baat karni hain ...

They nodded & all were sitting in formal living room.

VANSH: Bataiye kya baat karni hain aap ko?

SUNIL (Her biological father): Humein bataya gaya tha ki woh bhaag gae hain kisi ke saath aur phir ek hafte baad usne darya mein kud ke apni jaan de di.

VANSH: What the fuck???

UMA: Vansh??

VANSH: Sorry Maa but this is ridiculous. Unhone kaha aur aap ne maan liya.

SUNIL: Humne bahot dhunda par woh kahi mili nahi aap ko kaha mili woh???

SHEKHAR: Kya karenge yeh jaan kar aaap????

Everyone's shiver ran down their spine seeing the anger behind his words. Dhirubhai being the eldest present there from their side decided to take the matter in his hands before matter gets spoiled.

DHIRUBHAI: Humein nahi pata kya hua tha par ek baar hum Riddhima se baat karna chahte hain.

Shekhar knew this man never wronged Riddhima rather was her only supporter & the desire to be with his first grandchild & love for her was so pure so he just gave a nod & left.

JAHNVI: Humein yeh bolna nahi chahiye par phir bhi aap ne humari beti ke saath bahot galat kiya hain aur ab unki aankh mein agar aap mein se kisi ki bhi wajah se ek bhi aansu aaya toh humse bura koi nahi hoga.

Warning them she went to Shekhar. On the otherside Riddhima & Rudra had a nice time & then she was craving for street food so they went on beach & there she met kids of orphanage which was nearby so she played with them. Later they had chaat first followed by frankie & peri peri french fries with thums up. She wished to have something in dessert so they headed to Ananta & enjoyed it sitting at pool side.

RIDDHIMA: Chote Papa hum kae din ho gae humare nathdwara wale ghar nahi gae na???

RUDRA: Tumhein wahan jana hain?

RIDDHIMA: Hmm.... hum na holi wahan manaenge iss baar you remember hum sab ne saath holi pehli baar wahi manae thi. It was so much fun na.....

RUDRA: Done...

RIDDHIMA: This time we will stay there for a week Chote Papa. We will have so many balloons filled with water & we will play games too.

RUDRA: Pakka....

RIddima nodded her head with excitement making Rudra smile. Then both played few games in Rudra's phone & then left for their mansion while she was asleep half way. Rudra called Vansh.

RUDRA: Vansh sab so mat jana we've got some tarts for you all.

VANSH: Okay Chote Papa sab jaag hi rahe hain.

RUDRA: Infrom guests too.

VANSH: Okay waise kya kar raha hain mera bunny?

RUDRA: She fell asleep.

VANSH: Koi nahi thik hain.

They cut the call & soon Rudra reaching mansion carried her & made her sleep on the swing where Vansh was sitting keeping her head in Vansh's lap. She was making faces in her sleep as if she was in pain making Vansh pat her head.

RUDRA: Vansh massage her feet before going to sleep aaj beech par dodi thi na so shayad per dard kar rahe honge.

VANSH: Ji Chote Papa...

He kissed her head & she hid her face in his stomach. Vansh finished the dessert & Komal smiled seeing Riddhima.

KOMAL: Pata hain Ri ko jula bahot pasand hain choti thi tab se.

DHIRUBHAI: Haan jab bhi humare ghar aati thi bas jula julti rehti thi. Soti thi waha, khana bhi wahi khati thi.

Later they called it a day & Vansh massaged Riddhima's feet & then both slept. Next morning Riddhima was in temple praying & Vansh joined her. She asked with her eyes why he's up early & he just shrugged making her smile & continued her pooja. Since Vansh's birthday she was again back to her routine of doing pooja every morning & evening except she's on trips. Shekar & Jahnvi smiled at the couple & later all four were sitting near lake which Riddhima has built near temple.

RIDDHIMA: Aaj aap jaldi jaag gae Ansh???

VANSH: Hmm... ese hi...

SHEKHAR: Ese hi ki humari beti ke bina neend nahi aae???

Shekhar teased & Vansh nodded with a chuckle making Riddhima shy & all three laugh.

VANSH: So how was your date with Chote papa?

RIDDHIMA: bahot maza aaya you know we had long drive first & then I was craving for some street foods so we went to beach & there I played with kids. They were so cute phir humne chaat khae, frankie khae, peri peri finger chips khar aur thums up bhi. Phir I wished to eat dessert so hum Anant gae there we had it while playing games & then I told Chote Papa ki mujhe na humare ghar jana hain Nathdwara toh hum holi pe waha jaenge for a week haina maza aaega....

All smiled seeing her excitement.

RIDDHIMA: You know Mumma, Dadda humne na sath pehli baar holi wahi manae thi. It was so much fun.

They nodded & then day passed & after dinner she agreed to talk with her so called family.

RIDDHIMA: Aap sab aao...

Before she could complete they heard shootings....

REHAAN & ISHANI: Bhabhi Maa.....

They both ran to her & hugged her making everyone laugh. She hugged them back.

REHAAN & ISHANI: We missed you Bhabhi Maa.....

RIDDHIMA: Missed you too bacho...

Rehaan broke the hug & kissed her forehead while she patted his cheek lovingly.

ISHANI: How was our surprise????

RIDDHIMA: Bahot acha. Chalo fresh ho jao phir dinner kar lo....

Rehaan noticed other people around & frowned.

KIYAAN: Tu chal main batata hu tujhe.

ISHANI: Mujhe bhi.....

KIYAAN: Aa ja...

Myra too ran with them. Riddhima herself served them dinner & made them eat with her own hands while after knowing who they are they were throwing daggers at them.

RIDDHIMA: Bacho take a break if you both want & tomorrow morning in my office. I've got something for you.

They both nodded & soon all were in backyard. Dhirubhai has already warned everyone not to interfere.

DHIRUBHAI: Riddhima....

RIDDHIMA: Miss Singh for you all....

DHIRUBHAI: Aap ke saath kya hua tha?

She laughed hearing his question which was full of sarcasm.

RIDDHIMA: Kya kar lenge jaan kar aap? Humara koi lena dena nahi hain aap se aur hum gairo se apni neeji zindagi share nahi karte.

DHIRUBHAI: Ek subhah Sheetal aur Sunil ko call aaya tumhare ghar....

RIDDHIMA: Woh mera ghar nahi tha...

She roared making them flinch. Vansh wrapped his arm around her softly rubbing her arm calming her down.

VANSH: Kahiye aage but make sure ki unko Riddhu se connect na kare.

DHIRUBHAI: Unn logo ne kaha ki tum shaam ko bahar gae thi aur wapas hi nahi aae aur check kiya toh pata chala ki saara sona lekar chali gae ho.Hum sab tumhein dhund ne nikle aur phir usne kaha ki tum kisi ladke ke saath bhag gae ho aur ek din humein video mila jismein tum dariya mein kud gae.

She clapped like a maniac looking no less than devil.

RIDDHIMA: Waah kya story hain nahi. Uski film banae toh hit ho jaegi na. Ansh how about we get them contacted to director & producer.

SHEKHAR: Vansh Riddhi ko lekar jaiye.

RIDDHIMA: Nahi Dadda....

She moved to them & said.

RIDDHIMA: Ho gae baat jo karni thi ya baaki reh gaya hain?

SUNIL: Yeh kya badtameezi hain.

RIDDHIMA: Badtameezi toh humne abhi ki hi nahi hain.

DHIRUBHAI: Beta hum tumhari baat sun na chahte hain.

RIDDHIMA: Kiski baat jaan na chahte hain aap? Riddhima Patel ki? But sorry to say woh toh mar gae. Uss Riddhima ki jisne bachpan se apne so called birth givers & their relatives aur name ko dhyan me rakh ke zindagi kaati, uss RIddhima ki jisko ek punching bag ki traha use kiya, ek tissue paper ki tarah use kiya, uss RIddhima ki jiski zabardasti shaadi karwa di, mar gae woh.

She said with so much rage that everyone were shivering. She came with some of her old things & threw on floor. Then lit it with fire & then came with a pot filled with water & with a stone made hole in it & took rounds of it.

RIDDHIMA: Bas nahi jalaya tha na uuse ab aap ke saamne jala diya...

DHIRUBHAI: Be..

RIDDHIMA: Ab jo aap ke saamne hain woh Riddhima Singh Sisodiya Raisinghania hain. Shekhar Singh Kapoor aur Jahnvi Shekhar Singh Kapoor ki beti hain hum, Ajay Raisinghania aur Uma Ajay Riaisnghania ki beti hain hum, Rudra Raisinghania aur Chanchal Rudra Raisinghania ki beti hain hum, Umang Singh Shekhawat aur Malini Umang Singh Shekhawat ki bhanji hain hum, Vivek Singh Zala ki bhateeji hain hum, Prithvi Singh Shekhawat aur Neela Prithvi Singh Shekhawat ki nateen hain hum, Akshat Raisinghania aur Indrani Akshat Riasinghania ki nateen hain hum. Vansh Raisinghania ki jeevan saathi hain hum, Kiyaan Singh Kapoor, Angre Singh Kapoor, Myra Aryan Raisinghania, Pooja Singh aur Maanvi Umang Singh Shekhawat ki badi behen hain hum. Aryan Raisinghnaia, Rehaan Raisinghania, Siya Kiyaan Singh Raisinghania Kapoor aur Ishani Raisinghania ki Bhabhi Maa hain hum.

SHEKHAR: Aur Jodhpur ke Sisodiya Raj Parivaar...

JAHNVI: Amritsar ke Kapoor Raj Parivaar...

UMANG: Bikaner ke Shekhawat Raj Parivaar....

SHEKHAR: Inn teeno raj parivaar ki vaaris hain woh, Yuvrani Riddhima Singh Vansh Raisinghania hain woh...

The intensity was so much that almost their breathes were stopped. Dhirubhai knew something was terribly wrong but what he didn't knew that when they'll get to know the truth land will sleep beneath their feet. Jahnvi hugged Riddhima.

JAHNVI: Calm down betu your Mumma & Dadda are there, your Ansh is here with you. YOur family is here everything is good.

She said rubbing her back, calming her down. She knew her daughter needs closure & also Shekhar has shared how her thoughts are of killing them with their kindness. So she decided to implement it. & how can she not if her daughter wants it she gets it.

JAHNVI: Vansh Riddhima ko lekar jaiye apne kamre mein.

Vansh glaring at them left taking Riddhima with him.

SHEKHAR: Mahadev ne aap ko phool jesi beti di thi par aap usse pyaar bhi nahi kar pae aur naa hi izzat. Lalat hain aap par.....

They were not in a state to ask anything knowing Riddhima's behaviour & of others too. While in room Riansh were sitting in jaccuzi looking with soft music playing behind.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh...

VANSH: Hmm....

RIDDHIMA: Kal subhah breakfast mein na mujhe sandwich khani hain aur saath mein milkshake bhi...

VANSH: Alright it will be there...

RIDDHIMA: Aur abhi na I need drinks & cigarettes please....

VANSH: I'll get it for you....

He quick dried himself not to spoil the room & came back with whiskey & some cigarettes & again joined her. Both drank & had cigarettes & drifted to sleep. Next day Komal talked to Riddhima that she doesn't want to go back & wanted to start something on her own probably with any job. Riddhima agreed & as she wanted to leave alone for sometime. Aryan needed a head chef at Dubai's Ananta Hotels & Riddhima asked her to got through interview. With this her so called family too left unwillingly as they wanted to know the truth but got nothing. Days passed & today Dhirubhai's health deteriorated to the extent that next few hours were very critical. Riddhima was for her regular check up & found them there & got to know the situation. The doctor informed it happened because he got heart attack & the reason is constant stress & lack of proper meals. Coming back she told Shekhar that she wanted to move on & she's ready to let them know & finish it for once & all. Once everything was fine they were invited to Ananta Mansion.

DHIRUBHAI: Raja Saab hum nahi jaante kya hua tha please humein sach jaan na hain unke baare mein. EK marte hue aadmi ki aakhri khwaish hi samajh le....

SHEKHAR: Humne isiliye aap ko bulaya hain.

Along with elders Shekhar & Jahnvi shared everything to them & land slipped beneath their feet. While at that time Riansh were at Vantara where she was playing with her lion. They were so ashamed of themselves that no word came out of their mouth.

SHEKHAR: Humari beti hain woh bahot dukh diye hain aap ne ab aage hum bardasht nahi karenge....

They joined their heads & bowing their heads thanked them for bringing happiness in their daughter's life & they left silently not having courage to meet Riddhima. Later that day Ishani & Pooja wished to have pizza so they ordered it from Dominoz & had it in garden with nice time.
