In Riddhima’s room
Riddhima’s Pov: I still regret the day when you convinced me and Sejal to let you go to USA.
Flashback:
Kabir: Why is my warrior still sleeping?
Ahana: Bhai, let me sleep for sometime.
Kabir: If my Ridhu doesn’t wake up in five minutes then I promise that I will not let you have black coffee for 1 week.
Ahana: Bhai!! Don’t think of taking my life away from me.
Kabir: Is your coffee more important to you than me?
Ahana: No,bhai. You are the most person in my life (saying this she hugs him)
Kabir: But my Ridhu has to stay away from for some months.
Ahana: Bhai, is it necessary to go from here. You are just 20. Don’t you think it’s too early to stay away from your darling sisters?
Kabir: Oh Ridhu! Won’t you able to stay away from me for just 12 months?
Ahana: These twelve months are going to be twelve years from me.
Kabir: I promise I will call you everyday thrice.
Ahana: Promise?
Kabir: Pakka promise. Now I have to pacify Seju. She is also upset with me.
Sejal comes there.
Sejal: Ridhu, why did you agree?
Ahana: I don’t know yaar. You ask bhai. Whenever bhai says something in sad tone, I agree to him.
Kabir: I know my Ridhu and Seju can never stay upset with me.
Sejal: I am still upset. Can’t you complete your education staying here?
Kabir: Seju, I need to go there. Moreover, Ayan is coming to stay here after six months.
Ahana and Sejal(together) : Really?
Kabir: So much excitement before the arrival of Ayan. I think after he will come, you two will forget me.
Ahana: Who told you?
Kabir: The reaction of you guys.
Sejal: Bhai, when is your flight?
Kabir: Tomorrow. I need a promise from both of you.
Sejal: What?
Kabir: You both won’t disturb grandpa and grandma.
Sejal: Bhai, we are your obedient sister. We won’t break your promise.
Ahana: Let me tell you that you are not going to sleep tonight as you will spend your whole night watching movie with us. After that we will gossip whole night.
Kabir: Okay meri jaan.
Flashback ends
Riddhima then sees the next picture. It was the picture of her 11th birthday. Kabir had specially baked cake for her that day. Her tears were not stopping seeing that picture.
Riddhima was still seeing the pictures. This picture was clicked by Sejal when Kabr was scolding her.
Flashback:
Kabir: How careless you are!
Ahana: Bhai, it’s nothing serious.
Kabir: From now onwards, you will not see cricket.
Ahana: Why?
Kabir: While watching cricket, you became too much excited and out of excitement you stapled your hand.
Ahana: Bhai, it’s a normal thing.
Kabir: It’s not a normal thing. You said that you want to join the underworld. How can you join the underworld being so careless?
Ahana: Bhai calm down.
Kabir: Ridhu, do you know how mu-
Sejal: Smile please (saying this she clicks a picture of Kabir scolding Riddhima)
Ahana: What is this Seju? I am getting scold and here you are taking my pictures.
Sejal: It’s going to be a good memory.
Flashback ends
Riddhima : Bhai, I don’t how you would have scold me for my madness (saying this she sees her hand and remembers how she has removed the blisters). I still can’t understand how could you befriend that Vansh Raisinghania. He betrayed you in the name of friendship. I am just waiting for the moment when I will do something similar with him. I know he has feelings for me. I just left him worried as he thinks that I am hurt. In this stupid game of love, if I am hurt then he is also hurt. Now I will win the Switzerland deal. It will cause definitely cause him some loss. When you will come to know that the person you loved turned out to be your biggest nightmare. Neither you will be able to shoot me nor you will be able to forget my betrayal. It will pang your heart so badly that you will prefer to have a quick death. But I will not let that happen as I have many things stored in for you. Be ready for it Vansh Raisinghania. Dhoke ka badla dhoke se (The revenge of betrayal by betrayal)
Soon Riddhima goes to sleep. But she goes to sleep without turning off the laptop.
After sometime, Sejal comes in Riddhima’s room. She was feeling restless. She wanted to apologise to Riddhima for hiding the truth from her. She decided that she will talk to Riddhima about this in the morning. Seeing the laptop open, she decided to shut it down. Sejal found out that Riddhima was seeing their old pictures.
Sejal’s Pov: Bhai, we still miss you.I wish that day we had stopped you. Ridhu is still living in your memory. I never wanted you, Ridhu and Ayan bhai to join this world. That person and Ayan bhai is equally responsible for your death. Ayan bhai knew that your best friend in USA was the son of uncle’s enemy. But still Ayan bhai didn’t inform Kabir bhai. If Kabir bhai knew about it, he could have broken his friendship with that person. He even could have reached the spot and save him. Because of enmity, I always lost my dear ones. Firstly it was mom and dad. Then it was Kabir bhai. Now I can’t afford to lose any other person. I personally don’t believe in taking revenge. I feel nature will make the criminal pay for his deeds when the right time comes but this time I feel that whenever I meet the person responsible for Kabir Bhai’s death, I will rip his head apart. I wish I never meet that person.
Sejal shuts down the laptop and goes away from Riddhima’s room.
The next morning
Riddhima was arranging breakfast. Suddenly Sejal came and hugged her from back.
Sejal: Ridhu, are you still angry with me?
Riddhima stays silent.
Sejal: Ridhu! Please don’t stay silent. You know it well that I can’t bear your silence. Please say something. Scold me as much as you want but please don’t stay silent.
Riddhima: I just want to stay one thing that from now onwards you will not stay in contact with Vansh.
Sejal: I have made it clear to him that I can’t stay in contact with him. But one thing I would like to say.
Riddhima: What?
Sejal: Don’t you think you should give him a second chance? He did all of this as he loved
Riddhima: Trust is the base of every relationship. He tried to start this relationship with lie. He even hid his real identity from me. After all of this, do you think he deserves another chance?
Sejal: Even you are hiding your real identity.
Riddhima: You know my compulsions well.
Sejal: He might have also some compulsions like you.
Riddhima:Whatever it is, we both aren’t made for each other. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
Sejal: Ridhu, I need a favour from you.
Riddhima: What?
