#RIANSH – LOVE, BETRAYAL & TRUST – Chapter 2 – Revelations (Part 1)!!!

The last thing I’d be posting before I start my preparations for my upcoming exams! Hope you’ll excuse my disappearance for a week almost.

Thank you to all who showered me with best wishes!! Thank you so much!!!

Though I cant assure you! I’ll try to post at least 1 or 2 episodes from any one of my FF’s.

The Episode starts with…..

Everyone stood there unable to understand what was happening and what was Vansh trying to say!! Riddhima was clueless but which mad her happy was he was beside her and stood for her.

Vansh: I know about Riddhima since long!! Yes I knew her reality long back. I have seen her transforming from a spy to my wife, the daughter – in – law of this house. She was a spy and is my wife now! There’s difference. I got to know her truth before I jumped off the cliff but as everyone even I didn’t trust her and wanted revenge. After the fall when I met Angre, I asked him to gather all the information about Riddhima and the updates he used to give me proved me wrong. I realised how cruel I was to not trust Riddhima!!! The one who always put everyone before anyone else, the one who always loved me and my family even when we spread hatred in her life. She always stood for us but we never did the same for her. We always blamed her. But after learning the truth I was devastated for my doings! I couldn’t forgive myself!!

He turned around to see Riddhima staring him with pain and love flowing from her eyes in form of tears!! He bent towards her and wiping her tears,

Vansh: No Riddhima! No tears!!!

He stared at everyone who were giving him blank expressions!

Vansh: You all wanted to know what happened! This Riddhima whom you have been abusing sacrificed her life twice to save me. That day when Vansh: Kabir showed me proofs that Riddhima handed him all the evidences against me I felt betrayed. I couldn’t digest that the one whom I love has betrayed me and that hit me hard and so I messaged Angre to follow my phone location and I was on call when I jumped off the cliff and Angre was all prepared to save me and with his help I was rescued. But what kept disturbing me was the eyes if Riddhima which I saw while jumping off the cliff! That eyes weren’t lying about her love for me but yet Kabir’s words echoed in my mind and I in fit of rage I asked Angre to collect evidence against Riddhima but what we got shook us to the core. The misconceptions which we had were erased with the proofs we gathered. So, I asked Angre to help Riddhima without her knowledge as… as her life had danger!!! Angre as per my instructions was helping her indirectly! Every time he made sure he’ll keep me posted and save her from the danger which would have took her life he wasn’t saving her! Her love, her care, her emotions, her affections, her actions were all true and she was always on a mission to save this family of hers where there are people who hate her literally!! (eyeing Aryan, Chancal and Ishani) Everything started the day I jumped off the cliff, Angre took me into our hideout and he left towards home and mingled with you all as if he isn’t aware of anything. He kept me posted of all the happenings from time to time! He informed me the state of every family member including Riddhima! How broke she was, her pain, he state! I couldn’t believe what he told me because I was sure Riddhima betrayed me by handing the proofs against me to Kabir, she even kidnapped Ragini and is the reason for Siya’s condition. I couldn’t stop myself from hurting Riddhima and taking my revenge for hurting me and my family! That night what Angre updated me confused me!

(Flashback starts)

Vansh was in his hideout where doctors were doing his first aid for his injuries, when Angre returned

Vansh: Angre what’s the news?

Angre: Everyone is broke with the news of your death! Dadi almost collapsed and Anupriya Ji has covered your death as an attack of some goons. Ishani is broke and is cursing herself while Siya has slipped into coma!

Vansh: I know they all might be going through tough phase because they love me. I even understand why Mom might have told that story so that she can save my unreal image of killing Ragini from family. But because of that women am giving such pain to my family! How could she even think of escaping by betraying me!! Am Vansh Rai Singhania and I hate betrayers!! She needs to face the pain of betraying me! And I’ll make sure she does!! (anger) Because of her today my family is suffering and my sister in coma! I will never let her live-in peace. She deserves worse!!

Angre: Boss I can understand what you are going through. In fact, even I cant digest the fact that Riddhima was betraying you and family all this while! But u wanted to share something I observed!

Vansh (raising eyebrows): What do you mean?

Angre: Boss today when we all were near your photo weeping for your loss, Riddhima came late and Ishani dragged her into the house and was confronting her and that’s when I noticed her condition and she was totally broken! Her condition was worse! She collapsed near your picture and was weeping unconsolably! For a second I forgot that she betrayed us and assumed her to be indeed true to you.

Vansh: Angre she might be expert in manipulating us so she’s definitely pretending. Don’t go by her tears and actions.

Angre: I think you are right boss!

Vansh: Take care of the family because its only you on whom I can trust totally and rely on! I don’t want that Riddhima to roam around my family and try to harm them!

Angre: I wont let you down bhai! I’ll make sure Riddhima doesn’t harm anyone

Vansh: I even want you to enquire about her past, her connections, her motive, her partner and everything related to her soon! I want to know why she was playing with me, my love, my feelings, my family and their emotions!

Angre: Bhai my sources are already on this work. We may get all the details soon.

Vansh: Good! And what about the work I gave you to do?

Angre: Bhai that’s done! I have placed secret camera’s around the house and none is aware! Its only me who’s aware and have access to the recordings! I have even placed a camera in your room to track Riddhima’s moves! And as you mentioned every camera has a microphone and we could hear the talks too!

Vansh: That’s great now we’ll be a step ahead of Riddhima and can track her each move and give her a befitting reply

Angre: Yes Bhai! But till when you’ll be hiding from your family and the world! Why are you punishing them for something Riddhima has done!

Vansh: I know am hurting them but that’s needed Angre because we aren’t aware of Riddhima’s motives and why is she still staying in VR Mansion if her motive was to send me behind bars then am dead she could have left the mansion but she’s still there. So, there must be something else than what we know! We need to get to the roots of this matter and till then we cant reveal to the world about me being alive!

Angre: Hm.. ok bhai as you say.

Vansh: Did anyone doubt you? Or did anyone watch you coming here?

Angre: No boss! I was careful and I informed family that am going to the place from where you fell to find any lead

Vansh: Better! You better leave now and keep me posted about what all is happening and do keep an eye on Riddhima as to whom is she meeting and why and everything related to her! And make sure you gather all her information asap!!

Angre: Sure boss!!

Angre left home while Vansh was planning next step. After few hours, in the middle of night Vansh received a call from Angre. He was wondering how come Angre was calling him at that hour.

Vansh: Angre, is everything ok?

Angre: Am not sure boss but I wanted to tell you this which occurred few minutes back

Vansh: What happened?

Angre: Boss after meeting you when I returned home, I saw Kabir and his assistant in our house and they were talking about not finding your corpse. He was acting well and was shedding crocodile tears and was trying to touch your photo frame and pay his condolence when he was stopped by Riddhima and she dragged him out and threw him out of the gate. They had a heated argument. I couldn’t hear clearly but what I head was he was asking Riddhima to return back for which she responded that she is your widow and she’ll never get back where you are not there!

Vansh: How are Kabir and Riddhima related! I want to know there relation.

Angre: Sure boss! Boss one more thing

Angre: Boss I was in study and keeping an eye on Riddhima through camera’s when

Vansh: Angre what happened? Did she do anything? Is she plotting something? Speak up

Angre: Boss she went towards the laundry bag and taking your shirt, she collapsed on ground and was sobbing literally, her state isn’t what anyone could ever expect! She’s totally broken. Her condition cant be expressed.am not sure but I don’t think there’s something which we are missing.

Vansh (thinking): I guess you are right Angre! We are indeed missing something important. We need her information asap. Or is she pretending this too with a doubt that may be she’s being watched?

Angre: I don’t think so! None can act as broken even if they are experts. I think we are assuming something without proper proofs!

Vansh: Umm… gather all the required information soon!!!!!!!!

Angre: Yes bosss!! There’s something else too

Vansh: And what’s that?

Angre: Bhai when I was keeping an eye on Riddhima, I noticed Ishani going into your room with a knife and she attacked Riddhima!

Vansh (worried): What the heck Angre!! How is Riddhima now? Did Ishani hurt her? Is she fine??

Angre: Bhai calm down, I saw her attacking Riddhima so indirectly asked dadi to check Riddhima and in the nick of time dadi reached there and saved Riddhima! Now she is fine but she’s broken because of your death

Vansh: Thank god Angre you saved her! And even am confused now I want to seek revenge but not at the cost of losing her or killing her. I want her to suffer every moment like hell. I cant give her death. If she is innocent then I can never forgive myself if she’s hurt because of my foolishness.

Angre: Bhai I understand I’ll gather information soon.

After the call, Vansh started thinking about Riddhima

Vansh POV:

Is she innocent? Is someone trapping her? But the proofs Kabir showed are truth right! He had all the proofs which could send me behind bars! If she didn’t give those proofs! Who did? And why!! I need all information before coming to any conclusion or assumption.

Days were passing and Angre was updating Riddhima’s broke state to Vansh and he started trusting her that she indeed is broke. Angre and his sources were involved in finding about Riddhima, her past and her motive. Angre used to inform Vansh about Riddhima being confined into the room itself and rarely steps out only to meet dadi and Siya at times and would spend time with Siya in her room speaking of the whole day happenings with her. She stopped reacting, she stopped talking, she stopped living. Vansh started having a change of heart after learning what Riddhima was going through in his absence.

It was 13^th day after Vansh left, Riddhima was caressing his photo frame and speaking to him with her Mangal sutra in one of her hand. Suddenly she saw Ishani taking her mangal sutra and leaving. Riddhima panicked and ran after her to see she was about to break it. Riddhima, Ishani and Aryan had a heated argument over what happened to Vansh. Riddhima once again took her last token of Vansh’s love and went into the living area when a courier came, Riddhima left to pick the courier. It was for Anupriya, before Riddhima could take it, Anupriya took it and as she opened the parcel she was amused to find the belongings of her long-lost son. Kabir too arrived at the same time and identified the belongings as his and then the mother – son duo met after years (according to everyone present there). Kabir wanted to take his mom with him but dadi stopped him and gave the right to decide if Kabir could stay here or not to Riddhima. Riddhima thought for a moment and gave him permission to stay which annoyed Ishani and she left in a rage.

Angre reaches Vansh’s hideout to find Vansh changing his look.

Vansh: What happened Angre! You here? Anything important? Varna you wouldn’t have come here! What’s the matter?

Angre: Boss! We received a huge shock today.

And he reveals all that occurred in VR Mansion about Kabir, he being Anupriya’s son and Riddhima allowing him to stay in mansion.

Vansh (anger): What the heck!! How can that be possible! He’s my half-brother!! Unbelievable!!! And that Riddhima! How can she allow him to stay in my house! She is pretty well aware that I hate him and he is the reason Vansh isn’t there and yet she gave him the permission to stay in my house! How could she do that!!!

Angre: Boss even am confused why did Riddhima allow him!

Vansh: Something is fishy!! Where is she now?

Angre: In her room may be

Vansh: Turn the footage I want to see what she’s up to!!

(in Vansh’s room)

Angre shows him the live footage of their room where Riddhima was seen standing near the window lost in her thoughts

Riddhima (to herself): I know my heart doesn’t permit me to allow that Kabir who is responsible for you not being with me now to stay here but what do I do! Because if you were here even you’d have allowed him to stay for Mummy Ji. I did this for you Vansh!! I remember what you said when you realised Mummy Ji had a son who’s now missing! You wanted to find him and accept him as your brother and treat him with love and care. What if you aren’t there! I’ll do your duty now. I’ll stand against all the problems that would enter our house. I’ll protect our family! You might not be physically present here but you’ll always be by my side to give me strength. I miss you Vansh!!! I love you!!!

Tears dripped her eyes and made their way towards her cheek. Vansh and Angre who were observing everything in the footage were not sure how are they supposed to react.

Angre: Boss what now! She is saying that it was your decision to find you half brother and bring him home.

Vansh: Its true Angre. I did say this to her! And she purely remembers every bit I shared with her. Angre am confused! What should I believe!! The proofs Kabir showed me or what am witnessing now! Her tears cant be acting!

………

………

Vansh: Angre what about the information I wanted?

Angre: Boss! 95% of information has been gathered. My team will give all the information by tonight!

Vansh: That’s better! Till then keep an eye on Riddhima and Kabir. I don’t trust Kabir. Make sure you have an eye on all his moves.

Angre: Sure boss!!

He left leaving Vansh wondering about Riddhima and truth! Riddhima had a doubt on Kabir and she was spying on him and found a lead that he and Anupriya were involved. She reached pool side and was gathering proofs when Kabir reached there and revealed all his doings shocking Riddhima! She not even in her worse dreams can expect him along with Anupriya do all that!! She wanted to reveal everything to the family but the mother – son duo were ahead of her and threw her into the pool and was torturing her. She was being blackmailed on the names of Ishani and her kid. She ran up to see if Ishani was safe. But she was scolded by Ishani for being careless and trying to hurt her and her unborn child. Angre who just reached saw Riddhima’s panic state felt something is fishy. He cared for Ishani and left towards study and started observing the past few hours footages and was left stunned to find out the truth. He immediately shared the footage with Vansh and rushed to meet his men to gather the information Vansh had asked for.

As soon as he gathered information, he left towards Vansh’s hideout and saw Vansh burning in anger.

Angre: Boss calm down!! Please

Vansh: How can I Angre (volcanoes erupting)!!! The video clearly shows how my so-called Mom along with her son has killed my mom and are now behind my family, my property and status. For me what matters most is my family and they are trying to hurt them, I cant leave them!!

Angre: Boss I know what you might be going through. Even I was shocked to learn the truth. I never ever expected this to happen. I was aware for few hours and all this happened in my absence! The way Kabir was torturing Riddhima was something I was unable to bear. He threatened to kill Ishani and my child! I never thought that he’ll stoop so low!!! (angry)

Vansh realised something and stared at Angre with emotions in his eyes. Angre’s eyes understood what he wanted to say and handed him his phone which Vansh grabbed and stared at the screen and saw….

I hope you like it!!! Am working on further story and will post soon! As said earlier, some parts are same as that in IMMJ2 but still I tried to give some different touch to the story! I Hope I didn’t disappoint anyone! Am open to suggestions on any part.
