Vansh entered inside their room after his meeting but found it empty

A cold fear gripped his heart

Where was she?
Did she leave him?
Has something happened to her?
No
His bday was indeed an inauspicious day
If it were in his hands, he would wipe this day out of his life but alas

Running out of his room, he came to the study where angre was sitting busy reading a file

V: angre, have u seen riddhima
She is not in her room
Did something happen to her
Plz find her
My riddhima

Tears rolled downs his eyes as all the bad possibilities crossed his mind

Angre got worried seeing his boss having a panic attack

An: boss relax
Here drink some water

V: no
I don't need water
I need my riddhima
RIDDHIMA
I can't loose her angre
Already i have lost my dad on this day
I can't afford to loose my riddhima and my baby

An: boss relax
Maybe she is with the garden

Riddhima took off her apron and smiled seeing the beautiful cake that she had baked for vansh

She was soo shocked when sia told her that vansh doesn't like celebrating his bday
Infact he hated this day
And didn't like to celebrate it
But maybe no one really made an effort to make this day special for him
No worries
Iam here to make every day of his life special

Riddhima walked into the garden in search of vansh when she again came across the locked room
Assuming that vansh was inside, she was about to walk in but halted hearing vansh's voice

V: what are u doing here riddhima
I told you to meet me in the room
Why were you not there
Do u have any idea how scared i was

R: vansh,
I was baking this cake for you
Its your bday

Vansh closed his eyes trying to calm himself down not to lash out at her

V: riddhima plz
I hate my bday

R: vansh
How can someone hate their bday
You see iam an orphan
I don't know my real birth date so i had to make it up
But that day is still very special for me
I cherish and live that day like none other

Vansh looked at her with teary eyes
How to tell her that he had stopped celebrating this day since he was 12 of age
Because this beautiful of his life had turned into a black day

Riddhima held vansh hand and kissed it lightly
Placing the knife in his hand riddhima made him cut the cake

Picking up a small piece she fed him

Vansh wanted to cry out loud
Why did this women loved him soo much
Why?
No one tried to soothe his pain like she did
He knows he had warned everyone not to pester him to celebrate this inauspicious day but deep down be wanted someone to help him overcome this trauma
This helplessness
But what he got nothing but loneliness in return

But this women, she was indeed a ray of light in his dark world

Riddhima gently wiped his tears and kissed him on the cheeks assuring him

R: now tell me, what is the reason behind this emptiness

V: you would hate me to no extent after knowing it

R: I can't
I can never hate you
I can even forgive you for my own murder

Vansh held her hand and brought her inside the room

Opening a wooden box he showed her the stuff inside

R: vansh
This
These watches
Wallet
Handkerchief
Whose stuff is this?

V: my dad's

Riddhima placed her hand on his shoulder to console him

R: how did he die?

V: he was murdered

R: who killed him?

Vansh looked her dead in the eyes and whispered

V: ME

RIDDHIMA looked at him shocked

R: vansh

V: i told you, you would hate me after knowing the truth

R: no,
I don't hate you
If you had killed him, then there might have been a solid reason right?

V: no
He was the best father in this world
But i turned out to be the worst son
I killed him
With my own hands
On my bday

Vansh fell down on the floor crying uncontrollably

Riddhima too fell down on her knees with a thud

Seeing his condition riddhima composed herself and hugged hin tightly

R: its all the past vansh
Forget it

V: i made sia and ishani orphan

R: you fulfilled each and every duty towards them not only as a brother but also as a father vansh

Vansh looked at her astonished

This women loved him no matter what

How the hell did he get soo lucky?

Vansh hugged her tightly and begged

V: please never leave me riddhima
I will die
I can't live without you

R: iam always there with you vansh, ALWAYS

SUDDENLY they heard an alarm

Vansh got alert suddenly

V: its the black box security alarm
Someone has stolen the black box

Vansh and riddhima both ran towards the security room

They saw someone running towards the pool side

Both followed that person

V: stop right there, otherwise i'll shoot

The person stopped and took off his hoodie

It was DADI

V: dadi?
You stole the black box

At that time vyom came there

Vy: look who's here
Indrani Rai Singhania
Give me the black box

V: don't worry dadi
I will protect you

Vy: ohh really vansh
Will you protect your dadi even after knowing her truth

Vansh and riddhima looked at him confused

Vy: indrani Rai Singhania
Would you do the honours or shall i

D: no, i will tell vansh everything
I can't bear this burden anymore
Iam soo sorry vansh
Iam soo sorry

V: why dadi?

D: i framed you
You didn't kill ajay
I did

Vansh looked at her shocked

D: that night, ajay and i had a great fight becuase he got to know that i was planning to smuggle a baby girl to vyom's dad

He wanted to stop me
But at that time our business was going in complete loss and i wanted to save it anyhow
Vyom's dad had promised me a hug amount worth billions in return of that baby girl

After killing him I realised what a big blunder i did
Thats when an idea came in my mine
I tip toed into your room and placed the gun in your hand
After sometime i came to your room and started acting that ajay was dead and the gun was in your hand
I manipulated you in such a way that you were fully convinced that you have killed ajay
Then i did the drama of saving you from the police by being the witness that ajay committed suicide

This black box had all the information of my deal with vyom's dad
I had to get it anyhow
I couldn't see you hate me
Iam soo sorry

Vansh fell down on his knees listening to the truth

All his life i blamed myself for my father's death

I killed my  own feeling to fulfill each and every desire of this family because i thought that if my father would have been there he would have taken care of this family with his life but i was the reason he was dead

Suddenly a doubt arose in his mind and his heartbeat accelerated thinking about the possibility

V: who was the baby girl you wanted to trade?
ANSWER ME DAMN IT

D: RIDDHIMA

RIDDHIMA looked at her shocked

R; me?

D: yes, you are the daughter of deep raichand, a cbi agent,
He caught vyom's dad illegal buisness
Vyom's dad was mad in anger and wanted revenge
He wanted to snatch you from your father because your parents loved you with everything they had
Ajay and deep were childhood best friends
When ajay got to know that i was planning to smuggle you, he was beyond furious and wanted to stop all this but i was helpless, i had no other choice than to kill ajay

Unfortunately vyom's dad was killed by his rival, shortly after ajay death
I thought that this matter would end here

But no deep started digging into ajay death mystery
I knew i had to get him out of the way

I called him and asked him to meet me in vr mansion with his family as i have gotten some proves of Ajay's death
At the same time i compelled ishani to take the ambassador knowing very well that its breaks were failed , causing an accident

I thought you too died in that accident but no, you survived and was taken to orphanage

On the night on the party at vr mansion, i got to know that you were the same riddhima due to which i killed my son ajay, and from then i started hating you again.

Vansh eyes saw red hearing her
How dare she even think about trading his riddhima

Because of her riddhima and he had lost their childhood
Because of her planning and plotting he had to go to juvenile jail and riddhima had to live her life as an orphan
And she has the audacity to blame all this on riddhima
How dare she

Vy: enoughhh
Now give me the black box
Or else

V: shoot her vyom

Vyom looked at him shocked

V: kill her
She doesn't deserve to live
You wanted to know who killed your family
I will tell you
It was this women who had killed your family
I got to know her truth long ago but she said that all that happened by mistake
But now iam sure
That it was no mistake
She had become habitual to kill after killing my father and riddhima's parent

Vyom looked at indrani shocked

Vy: did u kill my family
My wife and my pihu

D: yes,
I wanted information about tear of laila
But your wife was ready to open her mouth
So i burnt her and your daughter alive

Vyom shouted at top of his voice and shot indrani Rai Singhania point blank

Vy: you are not a human
You are a monster
You didn't deserve to live
My wife, my baby

Vyom fell down on the floor crying

Riddhima came near them both
The trio hugged eachother crying whole heartedly
Mourning the loss of their loved ones because of this selfish lady
She was soo bad
She will not even get place in hell

Composing themselves vyom apologised to riddhima and vansh and went to apologise to sia

Vansh and riddhima got up and went to their room

Making riddhima sit on the bed vansh went in the balcony to make a few phone calls

After returning back he said

V: we are leaving riddhima
Its time for us to go away from this toxic place
To start a new life
Where there would be no deception
No hate
No lies
No sadness
Only happiness

Riddhima nodded her head and hugged him tightly

Indeed their future would be better than their past
They would protect eachother and their children from each and every sorrow of this cruel world
