*********************************

Next morning

Riddhima was still sleeping due to the effect of sleeping pills. Ayan was also sleeping. Sejal sneakingly went out of the house to meet Vansh. She had fire in her for the first time. When matter comes to our close ones, one can’t control her emotions. Same happened with Sejal. She couldn’t see her Riddhima breaking anymore. It was time for her to take a step.

In the park

Sejal had already there. She is always late everywhere to come but probably for Riddhima, she took a new avatar. She was moving to and fro waiting for Vansh. She was biting her nails in tension. Suddenly someone tapped her shoulder from behind. Sejal turned back and she found Vansh standing there. Seeing Vansh there, her eyes had got a new hope.

Vansh: Seju, did anything happen?

Sejal: Can… Can we sit and talk?

Vansh nodded in the positive and then both of them sat in a bench to talk.

Vansh(puts Sejal’s hand in his to ensure that she has got the courage to speak): Now, tell me what happened?

Sejal: Look Vihu, I don’t even know if I am doing right or wrong by telling you all this. My conscience asked me to ask your help as you are the only person who can help me now.

Vansh: Seju, look tell me everything without any hesitation.

Sejal: Did you ever see Riddhima smiling wholeheartedly?

Vansh: No, she smiles but it is not from her heart. It’s just for the sake of courtesy and formality.

Sejal: None other than some persons knows it. There was a person who used to be the lifeline of Riddhima. After his death, Riddhima has completely changed herself. She isn’t the Riddhima she used to be once. I only kept quiet after knowing your truth so that Riddhima can at least be away from that pain. But I was wrong. She was being  more desperate for her revenge.

Vansh: I know all of these

Sejal: What? You know the  reason behind Riddhima’s condition?

Vansh: I meant I know that something is always pricking her heart.

Sejal: You are right

Vansh: Yesterday, did something happen?

Sejal: Not something, a lot of things happened.

Sejal then starts telling Vansh about what madness Riddhima did yesterday. Vansh started to feel guilty after listening her words. He wanted to tell the truth but he knew it well it was not the right time. Any wrong step can ruin everything. He knew it well that even if Riddhima sees Kabir now, she may not believe in Vansh. The hatred of so many  years cannot be finished so soon, right? Only when Kabir regains sense, it would be appropriate for Riddhima to know the truth.

Sejal: I couldn’t see her broken. I thought a lot. I don’t know why she said that why she said that your deception gave her pain when it was not deception. You just hid your real name from her. It’s not a big deal. She sometimes become too much sensitive. Your entry in her life may remind her about the deception which you did by hiding your real identity. But that pain is nothing compared to the pain she is bearing now. I want you to return in her life. I am sounding selfish maybe as I was the one who told you that I can’t help you anymore. Yes, I am selfish when it comes to Riddhima. I.. I just cannot see her breaking like this.

Vansh: Sejal, do you think that I will give up so easily? I never left her even when she intended to leave. I didn’t accompany her to leave her. And you are not selfish! I know it well how much you love her. You just have to do one work for me. You have to bring Riddhima anyhow in Anurag and Prerna’s engagement tonight.

Sejal: In Anurag and Prerna’s engagement ceremony? Does Anurag and Prerna knows about this?

Vansh: Only Anurag knows about it. He will help me. I have made all the arrangements. You just have to make sure that Riddhima comes there tonight.

Sejal: I will ensure it.

Vansh: You should leave now. The effect of medicine may end soon.

Sejal: You are right. I should leave now.

Vansh: Call me if anything goes wrong.

Sejal: Okay

Sejal then leaves from there. Seeing Sejal leaving, Angre comes near Vansh.

Angre: I never imagined that a strong personality like AR can do these type of amateurish thing.

Vansh: When emotions go out of control, it brings only destruction. I can’t take the risk of hiding the truth anymore from Riddhima. I must tell her the truth by afternoon  before she does anything dangerous because of her blind revenge which has no meaning .The plan is changed again. Just wait and see what I do now.

Angre: Another change in plan?

Vansh: Plans are meant to be changed. Am I right or am I right?

Angre: You are right, Boss.

In Austria

Ajay Raisinghania(over phone): How can this happen?

Aryan Sharma(over phone): Don’t shout now. It already happened. You went out pf network coverage for more than one month. Your son was busy with his lover these days.

Ajay Raisinghania(over phone) :Change your tone. Moreover, you had destroyed all the clues on your father’s saying. All these yes, you had no connection with me. Now after 5 years, you are coming and saying that I went out of coverage for 5 years.

Aryan Sharma(over phone) : It’s better if we don’t concentrate on the past. Rather we should concentrate on the present. Kabir’s darling sister entered in your son’s life to avenge her brother’s death.

Ajay Raisinghania(over phone) : Why don’t you kill her? As far as I remember, you always hated those Raichands. Why are waiting for so long to kill her?

Aryan Sharma (over phone): Do you think everything is so easy? She is very dangerous. Her power is beyond your imagination. She isn’t like her brother. She is much wiser and sharper than him. Her only weakness is Kabir who is no more. Moreover, I had already tried to kill her once. Your dear son took the bullet on her behalf.

Ajay Raisinghania (over phone): My son took bullet for that girl?

Aryan Sharma(over phone) : If you have doubt, you can ask that Angre. Only if he tells you the truth.

Ajay Raisinghania(over phone): I just want every information of that girl. She is like a thorn in my path  like her brother. I will remove her from my son’s life the same way I removed her brother Kabir.

Ayan Sharma (over phone): If she is also removed, my work will be made easier.

Ajay Raisinghania(over phone) : I will talk to you later.

In Riddhima and Sejal’s Residence

Sejal had returned home by now. Riddhima was still sleeping due to the effect of medicines and Aryan’s room was still locked.

In Ayan Goenka’s Room

Ayan Goenka  had got some news from his informers. He couldn’t believe that the one supporting Aryan was none other than Vansh’s dad. He was not able to believe that Aryan could join hands with Ajay Raisinghania. He wasn’t able to understand why Ajay Raisinghania would try to kill Kabir and show that Vansh is the one who tried to kill Kabir.

Ayan Goenka: I don’t think Ajay Raisinghania  knows that Kabir is alive. I can’t tell the truth to Vansh now. He won’t trust my words. He would never believe that his father was involved with Aryan Sharma once. Because of one thing our small and happy family changed. I won’t leave Aryan and Ajay Raisinghania.

Ayan starts remembering the previous moments when both Sejal and Riddhima/Ahana were normal and used to spend their live normally.

Flashback: 

Ayan Goenka : So, guys here we can see that a war is going on. It’s a cooking competition between our Shayar Ahana and our Pagal Sejal

Sejal: What is this Bhai? You are calling Ridhu Shayar and you termed me as Pagal. So much injustice! Don’t I have feelings?

Ahana/Riddhima: Drama queen, stop your drama. DPIFF awards and ITA has ended recently. Now you are not getting any award for your acting. So, stop your acting.

Sejal: So rude!

Ayan Goenka : So, we can see they have already started their war of words. But audience, we are here to enjoy their food also only if they can male something.

Ahana: The word ‘failure’ isn’t present in AR’s dictionary. Jeetna meri junoon hai jo sukoon deti hai (Winning is my passion which gives me peace)

Sejal: I think the dictionary of AR needs to be updated. Failure is a very common word but still this word is not present in AR’s dictionary. I must it is a backdated one. By the way, who is AR?

Ahana: AR is someone who is out of your league.

Sejal: Hoo… Now I understand AR is the name of a cricket league.

Hearing Sejal, Ayan (Goenka) bursts out laughing while recording and Riddhima/Ahana was giving her angry glares.

Riddhima/ Ahana: Bhai, do you know one thing? God didn’t give her brain as He knew that Sejal will eat other’s brain after coming in this world.

Sejal (pouts): So rude!

Ayan Goenka : You both can quarrel later. Now tell me what are you both planning to make?

Riddhima/ Ahana : I am making noodles but there will be something unexpected.

Sejal : I am making something which you will get to know during the dinner.

Mrs. Dsouza : Child, tell me what are you making. I will tell the servants to arrange it.

Sejal: No, aunty. No one will help us. We will do the things on our own.

Ayan Goenka: Leave the kitchen to them. Let them do whatever they want.

After 45 minutes, both Sejal and Riddhima/Ahana has started making their dishes.

Sejal was making something whoes name is still undiscovered.

Sejal: So, I have already boiled the bitter gourd. It’s paste is also done. Now I should spread this bitter gourd paste over the pizza dough which was made by cook uncle. (Sejal then spreads the bitter gourd paste over the pizza dough. Then she adds chocolate chips, chilli flakes, olives, jalapenos, slices of apple)  Should I anything else for different flavour?  Oh God! I forgot to something sour (saying this she squeezes lemon over it) So, I have added all the flavours. So, my pizza has sour, sweet and bitter flavour. All in all. Well done Sejal. Now I should keep it in the oven. Until the time the pizza gets ready let me watch my favourite show (saying this she keeps the pizza in the oven and leaves to watch her favourite show)

Sejal had left the kitchen leaving Riddhima alone there. Riddhima was making chocolate noodles dipped in black coffee mixture.

Riddhima: So, the chocolate noodles are ready. Now I have to prepare the coffee mixture. Mmm… How much coffee powder shall I add?  I guess 300 grams of coffee will be enough. The bitterness will be stable then (she adds the coffee powder in the boiling water. Then she adds the chocolate noodles which she learnt to make seeing Master Chef) So, my work is almost done. My noodles are almost done. I should serve it bowl and cool it down.

Riddhima had prepared her noodles. So she left the kitchen.

After 1 hour, Sejal came in the kitchen to check her pizza. Her pizza was already burnt.

Sejal: Now my pizza got the bbq flavour also. Today I will win as my pizza has got so many flavours. Let me send the picture of my pizza to Kabir Bhai as I wanted him  to taste my first dish. I will tell him to feel the taste by seeing it. (She then sends the picture of the Pizza to Kabir)

Both Sejal and Riddhima had prepared their respective dishes. It was the time for tasting. Ayan was sitting in the table. Both the dishes were kept in front of him covered.

Ayan: So, who will show her dish first?

Sejal: I will

Ayan: What have you made Miss Sejal?

Sejal: I have made pizza but in a unique way. You will find all the flavours present  in my pizza. Presenting to you my special ‘Abracadabra Pizza’ (saying this she uncovers her pizza)

Seeing Sejal’s dish, Ayan Goenka’s facial expression changed. The pizza burnt. Chocolate chips melted over olives. Ayan Goenka was now feeling scared to test the pizza.

Sejal: Let me feed it you (Saying this she feeds him a slice of pizza)

Ayan starts coughing after taking one bite.

Riddhima/ Ahana: Bhai, have some water.

Ayan gulps the pizza after having water.

Ayan: What enmity do you have with pizza? Your pizza has the ability to make one hate pizza. You can make food for the criminals. They will die by having the pizza instead of being hanged.

Sejal: I have complete faith in my pizza. You are insulting my pizza only to make Ridhu’s dish win. I will take revenge on behalf of ‘Abracadabra Pizza’. My revenge will not be incomplete.

Riddhima/Ahana: Her drama started again.

Ayan Goenka: When did she stop her drama that it will start again?

Riddhima/Ahana: That’s also a point.

Sejal: You both are so bad. If my Kabir Bhai was here, he would have loved it. I will complain about both of you to him.

Riddhima/Ahana: Ignore her and taste my chocolate noodles.

Ayan: Chocolate noodles seems unique.

Riddhima/Ahana: I saw it once in the MasterChef. I got the idea from there but I have added some twists which you will find after tasting.

Ayan Goenka: Learn something from Ahana.This noodles seem tasty.

Ayan then takes spoon of noodles. After taking that he becomes speechless for some minutes.

Riddhima/Ahana: How is it?  Am I the winner?

Ayan Goenka: Did you add coffee in it?

Riddhima/Ahana: Yeah! I made a special mixture of black coffee and added the chocolate noodles in it.

Ayan Goenka: Oh God!  Can you tell me how much coffee you have added?

Riddhima/Ahana: Only 300 grams

Ayan Goenka: You… you both have planned to kill me. Who makes these things for someone? You both can cook these foods fir the criminals in jail. They will die everyday thrice before their death. None of you is the winner. I am the real winner as I tasted your dish. From now, I will never be a judge in any of your competitions.

Sejal: Yippee!

Ayan Goenka : Why are you so happy? I said that there is no winner.

Sejal : I am happy that’s why. Ridhu’s black coffee didn’t win. By the way, my pizza had all the flavours while Ridhu’s dish only had bitterness. So, technically I am the winner.

Ahana/Riddhima: Seju!!!

Riddhima/Ahana starts running behind Sejal. While seeing their fight, Ayan keeps hand on his head

Ayan Goenka: Kabir, you left me alone with these two tom and jerry. I am becoming mad because of their fights. Don’t know how you used to tolerate them. My dinner is done today. Looks like I won’t be able to eat for some days after tasting these.

(Flashback ends)

Ayan Goenka: Everything has been ruined because of these two. I won’t spare but first of all I have to inform Raj uncle about it. He has the full rights to know the truth. I must warn him. He is going to Austria within 30 minutes . I must tell him about it within this time. I must send all the proofs to him now.

Ayan Goenka (over phone) : Uncle, is Aryan in home now?

Raj(over phone) : No

Ayan Goenka (over phone) : He.. He was involved with Ajay Raisinghania. They both were involved behind Kabir’s accident.

Raj (over phone): Are you sure?

Ayan Goenka (over phone) : I am 100% sure. I have got all the proofs. One more thing Kabir is alive.

Raj(over phone): Where is he?

Ayan Goenka (over phone) :He was with Vansh all these years. He is in coma all these years. Our enemy was the enemy was with us all the while. Do you remember the important deal which was assigned to Kabir? Kabir had lost the deal as someone had leaked all the all the details of it. Kabir thought it was Vansh but it was none other than Aryan

Raj(over phone): I can’t believe that my own son can betray me. The betrayal was with me all the while. The one whom I thought good for nothing actually fooled me. I cannot believe how could I not recognise his intentions.

Ayan Goenka (over phone) : There is no point of thinking about it. I just found about him. I am informing about it only to you so that you don’t trust him now. I am sending you the proofs against him. Uncle, please be careful. You are going to face Ajay in Austria.

Raj(over phone): I will be careful (saying this he cuts the call)

Raj’s POV: I won’t spare this Ajay. Today will be his last day. I will deal with this Aryan later on. First, I have deal with Ajay. My one son is in death bed, Ahana has almost turned into a psycho, Ayan is suffering as Sejal even hates his sight and my son Aryan dared to stand against him. All these happened because of that Ajay. I won’t let him live now.
