“Vihaan…” She shouted his fake name which Vansh had forgotten a long time and that’s when he realized that she still thinks him to be Vihaan.

“Riddhima…” He said in a soft voice and she looked at him.

“Vihaan, tell me. Had I brought you here to take my Vansh place? Then why you had thrown me out.” He heard her and saw as she left his collar angrily. Moving towards her he was about to hold her hand when she moved away. “Hey, don’t touch me.”

She said and he remembered the day when he had to jump down the cliff. “Really? Then where were you for so long?”

“You forgot, by yours grace only I had to went through everything. So, now how are you feeling to live the life my Vansh.” She said and for him everything went in vain rather when she called his name, he just wished to hear it again.

“Ok, that’s it. I have to tell you everything.” She heard him and interrupted him by showing her palm to him.

“No, now you’ll listen to me. Like you all think, Siya has a memory loss nothing is like that actually she with dadi and Angre are trying to collect proof against Mummyji and Kabir. Even I don’t get why, when her words would have been enough for everyone to believe her. Anyway, so if she tells the truth any day to everyone. Then please don’t be an idiot to do another mistake, get them arrested and after that tell them the truth that you are Vihaan. I have given you a lot of money, now I really don’t have any.” She said and sat on the couch.

He heard her words carefully and looked at her sitting on the couch. “Siya is lying that means?” She nodded hearing him. “Then why are you being so calm?”

“Then what should I do? She told that to me herself, anyway, most probably she’ll tell them after our marriage. That’s good, you can enjoy till then.” She said and got up to him. “But don’t cross your limits.”

He saw as she said by warning him. He smiled at her but then her words rang in his ears ‘our marriage’ that means her and Viraj.

“Why are you getting married to Viraj?” He said and saw as she turned to look at him. He saw that sad smile.

“Because someone need him” He got more confused and saw as she looked around the room. While turning she bumped into Viraj which Vansh saw.

“You here, you could have told me. I was worried for you.” Vansh heard him and looked as he held her by her shoulder.

“No, I just came to meet Vih…Vansh. You want anything?” She asked him and saw as he looked at Vansh and then nodded at her.

“Yeah, come. Cup of coffee?” She nodded at him and saw as he turned to move when they heard Vansh voice.

“Viraj? I want to talk something with you.” Riddhima said and looked at him expression, which confused her.

“No, he’ll be with me.” She said immediately thinking Vihaan to be planning something and saw as he threw an angry glare towards her. “I mean, I want his help.”

“In?” Vansh asked moving close to her which Viraj saw with a frown.

“Just a second.” He said and came in between them “Not that easily Vansh, what do you want to talk? You can talk here to. I mean she is my would-be wife and there is no secrets, lies between us. We trust each other.”

He said and god knows why Vansh felt it was indication towards him. Riddhima, who heard him got hurt by Viraj’s word which he had said simply but really told their relation. She looked away and then took a deep breath.

“I mean Man to Man talk, that’s fine. We can talk tomorrow even.” He saw as he nodded and then took Riddhima with him.

“Can’t he at least stay away from her? I’ll smash his blo*dy face. God knows what Riddhima saw in his monster like face” He said as he saw them moving while talking to each other. “Marriage? Forget about it, I won’t let you get engaged.”

He said and moved towards Angre’s room. He looked at the closed door and knocked. Waiting there he saw as Ishani opened it while yawning.

She looked at him and rolled her eyes. “Don’t get tired with him, Bhai?” She asked and looked at her.

“Angre?” He asked harshly and looked at her.

“Yaa, he is here only” She said and moved aside. Vansh looked as Angre came out.

“Come to the study, right now” He said and saw him nodding.

.

“So, were you aware about Siya’s fake memory loss?” Angre heard him as he was about to sit on the chair in front of him. He nodded and saw as Vansh asked him to get up.

“How many days?”

“Two weeks ago when she got it back.” He said in a low voice.

“Loudly” Vansh yelled at him.

“Two weeks ago when she got it back.” Vansh nodded and looked at him angrily.

“How much are you aware about?” He asked and saw as Angre gulped it down.

“J..Just this much.” He said taking a deep breath.

“Umm…you can go.” Vansh said shocking him but he nodded at this and turned to leave. “But better be careful, if I got to know that you were included any other plan…then, you know. And dare you tell any of mine secrets to anyone. And Siya I’ll talk to her.”

Angre heard him and went straight without turning.

.

.

Next day, Vansh, looked at Rehaan whose ring finger was getting bandaged by Ishani.

“Viraj, how you got hurt suddenly?” Vansh heard Riddhima’s caring voice for him and then saw as she moved to him.

“I don’t know” He said confusing everyone. “I mean, I didn’t saw that it was such a deep cut. It’s okay, we can still get engaged. See, my right hand is ok.”

“But engagement ring has to be in left hand” Chachi said gaining everyone’s attention.

“Chachi, it’s okay. It’s about love and respect we have for each other.” Vansh heard his sweet voice and gulped down the glass of water in anger. He saw as Riddhima looked at him and then looked away instantly.

“Bhabhi, where are you lost?” Siya said as she looked at Riddhima, who was looking away. Vansh got irritated by this.

“Siya, bhabhi??” Ishani asked shocked.

“Why? What’s wrong? Viraj bhai is our bhai. So she’ll be our bhabhi only. Right?” Vansh heard her and closed his fists. Thinking to take a break from this mental asylum, he went towards his room. Riddhima looked at him.

.

Vansh opened Siya’s rooms door and saw her wearing her headphones.

“What bhai? Don’t you have your own headphones.” She said and got down from the bed.

“Siya tell me the truth.” Vansh asked as he saw her.

“Which one?” She asked as if confused. He heard her and frustrated picked up a glass of water and then splash. “Bhai…?”

“Got your memory back, now tell.” She heard his serious voice and looked around. He asked and crossed his fingers hoping whatever Riddhima said to be true.

“Bhai, that day I got to know everything. It was Anupriya mom who killed our mom, I heard everything even she was the one who tried to kill me then. I’m sorry bhai, I thought you won’t believe my words so I took time to get the backup of the CCTV footage.” She said and looked blankly on the floor as she reminisced about the day. He hugged her tightly. “Bhabhi is innocent, bhai.”

He hugged her tightly as he saw her about to fall down on her knees. “Why you didn’t told me anything earlier? I would have punished them.” He said as his eyes went red in anger remembering about everything.

“Bhai…I didn’t mean it was all dadi’s plan. She asked me to stay silent in fact when Bhabhi had divorced you she was the one who had asked her everything. In fact bhabhi still thinks you to be Vihaan…” She said in a flow.

“Angre told you this?” He asked angrily and glared at her.

“No, I and Dadi heard you both talking and after that we went on blackmailing him and he told us everything.” She said and saw as his red face. “Bhai, please don’t leave her. She killed our mom.”

“I won’t leave them, don’t worry.” He said cupping her face. “Go and sleep now, it’s too late. And yeah never think that I won’t believe you. You were the only one who was Riddhima’s last hope, so don’t jump to conclusion on your own. Did they hurt you since then?”

“No” She said shaking her head in no. He nodded and making her get up asked her to rest.

.

.

Vansh smirked as he heard Angre’s voice from the other side about his plan getting fulfilled.

“You know where is Kabir and Anupriya?” He heard Riddhima’s tensed voice as she entered in his study.

“Must be in hell. Why you care?” He asked and looked at her.

“If in hell that’s okay but if in heaven. Then I think, we need to give it a check.” She said and picked up the glass kept on his table.

He looked as she sat on the chair carefully and drank the water slowly by holding her stomach.

“Are you hurt?” He asked pointing at her hands on her stomach. She wished to tell it to everyone but then what will he think of her?

“No, BTW Vihaan. I’m serious, where are they?” She asked and saw as he got up from his chair.

“Yaa, they went somewhere. Don’t worry.” He said and leaned close to her face. She saw as he wiped her sweat buds gently from her forehead.

“Now, I guess it’s really harmful for her being around you.” They heard a voice and looked at the door to see Viraj there. “Cause the way you are coming close to her, its like we are not getting married rather it’s you and Riddhima who are.”

“Oh, why are you thinking like that? We were just talking.” Riddhima said and looked at Vansh “Right Vansh…?”

“Anyway, Riddhima let’s go. I’ve a surprise for you.” Riddhima heard Viraj’s voice and nodded. She was about to get up but saw Vansh who was leaning close to her.

“Viraj, can I talk to her for?” Vansh said and looked into Riddhima’s eyes. “Thanks.”

He said before Viraj could reply. Viraj shrugged his shoulders as he saw Riddhima signing him to leave.

“You can’t behave like that with him.” Riddhima said and looked at him.

“I can behave like that with him. Now tell me what are you hiding?” He asked and moved closer to her when she pushed him.

“Vihaan, stay away from me. And what will I hide from you and even if I’m hiding who are you to ask me?” She shouted at him and saw as he looked at her. “Listen, that was it, now leave from this mansion cause Siya is now here and rest everyone can handle this.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” He said and again moved closer to her. “I’ll be staying here with you.”

“I’m not going to stay here in this hell neither you are. Remember, I and Viraj are going to get married day after tomorrow. It’s just my bad luck that I had to come back here.” She said frustrated. “Anyway, I want you outside this Mansion day after tomorrow. That’s it.”

“Riddhima…” He yelled at her as he saw her leaving the room. “I won’t let this happen.”

“Boss….?” He heard Angre’s voice and saw as he came in.

.

.

.

Riddhima looked at her bridal attire worn by the mannequin, which she has to wear day after tomorrow.

“Riddhima, we are leaving now.” Viraj said entering in her room with a loud bang.

“Why?” She asked as she saw him taking out her back.

“I got to know something. I’ll tell you on the way. And we will get married there only.” She was completely gobsmacked when she saw him throwing her clothes in the bag in a messy manner. He held her hand and she saw him taking out of the Mansion, silently.

“What are you doing? Don’t forget I’m pregnant.” She said and saw as he took a deep breath nodded.

“Sorry, but let’s go.” She saw as he drove out of the Mansion.

.

.

“Where are they?” Vansh shouted on the watchmen who were already trembling due to fear.

“Sir, w…we saw them leaving.” One of them said bowing down.

“Then why you didn’t informed me?” He said and looked at them.

“Boss, why are we wasting our time? We can search for them.” He heard and looked at Angre.

“No, I know where they are?” Signing he asked watchmen to leave.

“Bhai…where?” Siya asked innocently and saw as he looked at each and every family member.

——————-

After 2 days:-

Taking the last bite on an apple, Riddhima looked at her bridal dress for which she was getting married.

“Vansh…I’m not moving on from you. I promise I only love you.” She said and kept her hand on her stomach. “But why he brought me here suddenly? Since then he only came here in the room was in the morning. Is he hiding something from me?”

“Again, you started your spying Riddhima, how can you forget that just because of your this spying you don’t  have your Vansh with you now” She heard her conscience voice.

“No, I won’t doubt anyone now. That family was never mine, even Dadi helped me because I knew her secret and only if Vansh was here I would have told him but what can I do now? I can risk my life but this, my baby. No. I won’t.” She said and saw as a makeup artist entered in her room.

“Are you ready ma’am?” She nodded.

.

Riddhima was about to cover her head with the veil when she felt a tuck on her dress and it fell from her hand. She was about to bend down to pick it up when she saw another veil being placed on her head.

She looked shocked when she saw Vihaan placing it on her head.

“What the hell are you doing here?” She saw and was about to turn to face him, when he wrapped his arms around her abdomen. “Vihaan…Leave me.”

“Shut up, don’t you get tired of shouting at me. See, how innocent I’m. Can’t you see this innocence your Vansh?” She heard him say as he inhaled her scent.

“Vansh? Innocent? Stop joking and leave me, Vihaan” She yelled and tried to remove his hold. She looked at the safety pin in her hand through which she poked it in his fingers.

“Aaah…” He groaned in pain and pulled away his hand. She moved back.

“What are you doing here? Who gave our address?” She asked him glaring at him.

“Siya.” She heard him and looked at his face.

“Why you took that from her? Weren’t you about to leave after revealing? Oh no, that means you got them arrested, Really? Thank you…Thank you so much.” She said excited and saw as he looked at her amused.

“Are you done of jumping to the conclusions?” She heard him. “Then listen to me.”

He said and moved close to her. She looked as he cupped her face.

“Riddhima, trust me. I’m your Vansh.” She heard him and looked as he looked into her eyes.

“Vansh??” She said and saw him nodding. “Oh just…cut the crap. What do you think? I’m a fool?”

“Riddhima…” He said and was about to place his other hand on her cheeks when she jerked away.

“Listen, Vihaan. Don’t force me to call Viraj here. Just leave and about everything else, I’ll tell about this lie to Angre.” She said determined. “My Vansh, you can’t be. He won’t have threw me out. But you in place of his name, you divorced me. You threw me out. Not even gave me a chance to explain. Just leave, Vihaan. I have to go down, Viraj must be waiting for me.”

“No, neither I’m going out nor you.” She looked as he showed her the key. Looking at the door, she saw it to be locked. Before, she could move to him, he threw it out of the window. “Oops. I’m sorry.”

“You…” She yelled and looked down from the window. He pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her waist

“Riddhima, can’t you fell my touch, my presence?” He said and rubbed his cheeks with her. She rolled her eyes at him.

“You are trying to manipulate me, just like Kabir did once.” She said angrily and glared at him.

“Fine, ask me any question. I’ll give you the answer.” She heard him and looked into his.

“I’m not that idiot. I had told you everything before only and even I’m not that free Viraj must be waiting for me down. Let me go.” She said and tried to pushed him, which happened but he again held her tightly.

“Not about our personal moment, right? About our wedding night, our moments, our kiss, our first nigh…” He said and looked at her.

“You remember?” She said and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back placing his head in the crook of her neck.

“Riddhima…” She heard him and then when everything set in her mind. She immediately pushed him harshly. “What happened…?”

“Stay away from me with you and your mind games. We’re divorced now and now we have no future. Viraj….” She said and moved to the door. Looking at the key hole, she got tensed.

“Riddhima, will you tell me what’s wrong?” He asked and came beside her. He saw as she took out her hair pain and inserted in the hole. “Riddhima, stop doing this stupid act.”

He heard a small breaking sound and looked as she took out the small broken piece of her hair pin.

“Now even your bappa don’t want you to go out and after this even key won’t be able to take you out. So talk to me.” She ignoring him looked at the window.

Moving to her cupboard, she took out her stoles and tied them together. He looked shocked at her when he saw her moving to the window.

“You are not going to do this.” He said as she threw the stoles down.

“Why not? Where was your this care when you were busy with your mind games leaving me alone with your family who are not even meant to be kept in the place of family. And now, when I’m pregnant you are showing your care. Do hell with that.” She shouted at him and he heard her word.

“You are pregnant?” She heard him question and realized what she said. While she was busy in her thoughts, she felt his hands on her stomach and looked down.

She saw as he caressed her stomach and then moving close to her placed a kiss. “My baby…” she heard him and looked away as she saw him in tears. Sitting to his level, she looked at him.

“Vansh, why you did this?” He heard her and saw as she wiped his tears.

“I’m an idiot, in my own world of anger and revenge. I forgot about everything. I’m sorry, Riddhima. Please forgive me.” She heard him and saw as he was about to hug her.

“No, Vansh. It’s too late If today I came back to you then it would just be the end of Viraj’s trust on me.” She said moving away. “No, I can’t. I already had suffered a lot. I won’t come back again. I won’t let my baby suffer in your Mansion. When they tried to kill me in your presence then my baby…No”

She said and looked down from the window adjusting the stole. He was shocked hearing her and then got up.

“You think that after knowing you are pregnant, I would ever let you marry Viraj. Never, not even in his dreams.” He yelled pulling her again to him. She saw as he made her sit on the bed. “And yeah, now listen to me. He is not me that he’ll die to marry you, it was all his and Siya’s stupid to show me the truth. Now drink this.”

“You mean, I was again manipulated?” She asked in shock and looked as he gave her the glass of water.

“Riddhima…First have this please.” He said and saw as she angrily took it and gulped it down. “I know you have been manipulated every time but that doesn’t mean that whoever will do anything like this, it would be a manipulation only for you. No, he didn’t. It was after Siya had regained her memory. Viraj, had called dadi and told her about you. Siya was excited to see you, so she took the photo from him and then you know…”

“No, I don’t. I don’t get why your family hates me?” She asked and saw as he sat beside her.

“Do they matter to you?” He asked and looked at her.

“Not more than you.” He heard her and saw as she placed her head on his chest.

“Then that’s it. We have our own family maybe small but we have.” She heard him and a smile came on her lips. “And I’m not going to leave you before making a cricket team.”

He smiled when she looked up at him glaring.

“Ok, I was just kidding. Cricket team is really too small.” She moved back and rolled her eyes at him.

“Vansh…Dadi..” She looked as he placed his finger on her lips.

“Ssh…They are were they should be.” He said and placed a kiss on her forehead. “So now am I forgiven?”

“Not that easily, you still have to repent for it for 7 months” She saw him smile and then nodded bowing down in front of her. “Vansh we are divorced, how can I…?”

“Stop, we are not. It takes 6 months for divorce proceedings to come to an end and have you ever went to the court for once. Cause I never submitted the papers” He said smiling widely.

“You are too much, I swear. Now pay for this, I want an ice-cream tomorrow morning sharp at 5 am. Right now you can buy it from any where but not at that time.” She said passing him a grin.

“At your service.” She smiled looking at him. “Now rest, we don’t have any fake marriage now.”

She nodded at him and then saw as he picked up her left hand. He smiled as he saw her wearing his ring. “Hm…he never made me wore it. I realized it now that he just pulled out this one and then again placed it back which none of us noticed. He is smart though.” He said and looked at her smile.

Tucking her in the duvet, he laid beside her. “This dress is really very heavy.” She said looking at him.

“Naah, I’m not going to touch before my buddy doesn’t come.” She heard him.

“First of all, I didn’t meant in that way and second of all, I still have 7 months and I know your patience level. So just stop lying.” He smiled when he saw her being that frank to him for the first time. May be she got this from her pregnancy mood swings and even if not, he was happy to see her in this. He looked at her closed eyes and a satisfactory smile on her lips. Finally, he was successful in merging this broken relationship.

“That’s true not every relation are worth to be kept. Some are just there to teach us few valuable lessons in our life so that we can make wiser choices in future. So even if it breaks it will just hurt for sometime not forever.”
