Destiny Has It – Chapter 25

Author’s Note: I am back again with another update. I will publish the last episode tomorrow. This episode has been extra long. Sorry if you become bore because of reading it. And I have a special message for all of you TSA won’t be active after 19 March in any online platform. I will come back within one week again. This episode is dedicated to the one who guided me throughout my writing, the one who  even found out hidden messafes from my writing (which I couldn’t find even😅), the one who corrects my mistakes like an elder sister, AA.

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

Sejal: Ridhu, where are you going?

Riddhima: I will tell after I come back.

Without any single moment, Riddhima left her house.

Sejal: Don’t know why this girl behaves so strangely.

In the destined location

Riddhima had already reached the location . Her men were hiding nearby to ensure safety. Someone suddenly said from behind, “Waiting for me sweetheart?”

Riddhima: Don’t you dare to call me by that name.

Vansh: Why are you getting angry so soon? Don’t you want to meet your Kabir Bhai?

Riddhima: Don’t you dare to utter his name. Otherwise, the consequences won’t be good. (Saying this she takes out the gun and points at him)

Vansh: Anger is bad for health. You will be the one to shoot me if you don’t like my return gift (saying this he shows her a video where Kabir is saying ‘Ridhu’ repeatedly)

Seeing the video, Riddhima drops her gun. Many questions were going on her mind. How can this video be fake? What does all these mean? Was Kabir really alive all these years? Why would Vansh keep safe Kabir all these years when he himself tried to kill me?

Vansh: Don’t think much. Just get into the car. If after showing the things you feel I am lying then you can shoot me. I will have no problem.

Riddhima signals her men that she is going and gives them indication to follow. Vansh saw all of these but preferred to stay silent.

The whole journey was silent. Riddhima was busy in thoughts while Vansh was busy in texting someone. Riddhima then decided to break the silence.

Riddhima: For how long has been with you?

Vansh: Since the accident

Riddhima: Why did you save him when you are the one who tried to kill him?

Vansh: First of all get one thing in mind that I never tried to kill him. You never heard him telling that I attacked him. Did you? I guess it’s your no. And moreover, I have the records of Kabir’s all phone calls. So, I know it better. Moreover, the watch your men found indicated that I was present there but doesn’t mean that I was the one who shot him. I definitely shot someone on that day but it wasn’t your brother, it was the person who shot him.

Riddhima’s Pov: Why did he keep bhai hidden then?

Vansh: To hid him from Aryan and the secret enemy

Riddhima: Aryan?

Vansh: See this photographs. You will be much more clearer.

The pictures were of Riddhima and Sejal’s childhood. There were pics of their teenage. There were pictures of Aryan doing deals with the enemies of the Sharmas.

Sejal: All these years Ridhu told me that I was the one who couldn’t do anything sincerely. But look how she left her cupboard open today. This girl has turned insane.

Sejal then sees some files fallen on the floor. She then bends to pick it up. But gets shocked seeing a birthday card which Riddhima made for AA.

Sejal was talking to herself while she saw a transparent file fallen on the floor. She became shocked seeing Vansh’s picture there.

Sejal’s Pov: Oh God! Vihu’s  picture os in Riddhima’s wardrobe. It means Ridhu has feelings for Vihu. I will inform Vihu about this but first of all let me see which pictures she has.

Sejal started seeing the pictures one by one. After seeing the second picture, Sejal was getting a little bit shocked as Vansh was holding a gun but Sejal decided to ignore that thing. In the third picture, Vansh was standing with his sister and a man in his 50s

Sejal: This man seems to be Vihu’s father but why do I feel that I have seen him? I am over thinking a lot now a days by staying with Ridhu. How can I know Vihu’s dad when I never met him? But why has Ridhu kept the picture of Vihu’s family with her? This girl is doing research on him and she keeps me telling that I shouldn’t utter his name in front of her. She has taken acting classes maybe but she even didn’t tell me about that. This girl will see my anger and revenge today when she will not be able to take coffee.

Sejal then sees the next photo. It was Vansh in his teenage.

Sejal: Vihu seems a teenager here. Ridhu. She wants to PhD on Vansh. She has started even collecting pictures of Vansh’s teenage. Vihu will understand latwr the side effects of falling in love with a person of underworld. Everytime Vansh and Riddhima will have a fight after their marriage, Riddhima will put a gun on his head. Vansh being scared will accept that it is his mistake. Lol! I am thinking so far. I will talk to myself later on. First of all let me see the pics.

The next picture changed Sejal’s facial expression. The picture was of Kabir and Vansh in a trip.

Sejal: How can Kabir bhai be with Vihu? We met each other for the first time this year. It means Vihu knew Kabir bhai from before and Ridhu knew about this. Then why didn’t she ever reveal that?

Sejal was getting a little bit tensed by seeing this picture. Many bad thoughts were coming in her mind but she decided to suppress it. Without wasting any time further, she quickly bring out the next picture. It was was also of Vansh and Kabir but the thing which gained her attention was the watch which was Vansh gained Sejal’s attention. She could recognise the watch. This was the watch which was found in the cliff where Kabir’s accident took place.

Sajal POV: This watch is in his Va..Vansh’s hand? How can it be possible? It means Va..Vansh was Bhai’s that friend. All this while Bhai’s murderer was with us. How….how can she hid this fact from me? I am feeling disgusted by remembering the fact that I was so close with Bhai’s murderer. This was tge reason Ridhu couldn’t tolerate Vansh’s name. VR stands for Vansh Raisinghania. How couldn’t I understand this thing? The person whose face I never wanted to see was along with me all this while.

Ayan Goenka was passing by the room while he saw Sejal panicking in Riddhima’s room.

Ayan Goenka: What are you doing here?

Sejal then shows him the pictures and asks, “Is Vansh that person whom Ridhu wants to destroy?”

Ayan Goenka: He is the one

Sejal : How can you say this thing so casually? Vansh is murderer! He has killed bhai. When didn’t you guys bothered to tell me the truth? Kabir Bhai’s murderer was along with us all the while. And I am knowing it now.

Ayan Goenka (shouts): Vansh is not Kabir’s murderer. Kabir is alive only because of Vansh

Sejal: What?!

Aryan then starts explaining everything to Sejal. Sejal was teary eyed listening to every incident. She wasn’t able to believe that all these years everyone was in a living in a web of lies. She broke all her ties with her brothers for a reason which was never justified. She wasn’t able to look into Ayan’s eye after hearing all this.

Suddenly someone rang the bell of the house and Ayan goes to open keeping Sejal alone in the room. Tears were coming down from Sejal’s eyes without any expression from her face.

Ayan gets shocked after opening the door. It was the person whom he never expected to come.

Ayan Goenka: You?

Aryan (smirks): Won’t you welcome your bro?

Sejal: You..  you shameless creature

Kabir: Arrey! I am not dead yet. I am still alive.

Riddhima: You stay quiet.

Kabir: Ridhu, you have become a baby panda in my absence. You have grown fat. Ridhu, I hate tears. First of all, stop crying.

Riddhima (crying): Bhai

Vansh (sarcastically): I should be the one to cry as the one who was supposed to talk to me first, didn’t even bothered to see me.

Kabir: Vansh……. I am sorry. I had blamed you that time.

Vansh : Both brother and sister are the same. According to both of you, whatever will happen, every fault will be of Vansh. Instead of Vansh Raisinghania, you both made me Blame Raisinghania.

Riddhima: Can’t you just keep quiet for a moment?

Riddhima: Can you both stop talking and tell me the whole incident?

Vansh: The thing is that when Kabir left after blaming me, he drove to the place where Aryan was staying. He found that Aryan was talking to someone about the deal which Kabir lost because of him. Aryan had seen Kabir standing there. Kabir had left before he could react. He then called me to meet as soon as possible. But Aryan’s men had already reached there and the rest is history.

Riddhima: Who was that person? (Before Kabir could say anything, both Riddhima and Vansh look at each other. It was Ayan’s text. He informed them that Sejal has mistakenly killed Aryan)

Kabir: What happened guys? Why are you looking so shocked?

Vansh: Sejal killed Aryan.

Kabir: What the hell!

Vansh and Riddhima both gets a call at the same time. Vansh drops the phone after receiving the call. Both Vansh and Riddhima look at each other.

Vansh: Angre!! Prepare my private jet. I am going to Austria (saying this Vansh leaves the room leaving a shocked Riddhima along with Kabir)

Kabir: Ridhu, what happened?

Riddhima then decribes the whole situation to Kabir. The way Ajay and Raj killed each other and the way Sejal had shot Ayan.

Kabir’s POV: Ajay is dead now. I can’t tell about him to Ridhu or Vansh now. I will make sure that Vansh doesn’t come to know about it. Otherwise, he might be broken and Ridhu would again do some sort of madness. It’s now better to hide the truth from both of them.

Riddhima: Bhai..he….was the one who played the role of father and mother…. when we were left all alone.. in this world. He was…the one who taught me to walk by holding his finger.

Kabir: Ridhu, you can’t keep crying everytime. Think practically. Sejal know needs mental support. I am going to stay with Sejal. You and Ayan will go to Austria now and make arrangements for the body to be taken in India. I will be coming with Sejal there.

Riddhima: But bhai-

Kabir: I am sure Ridhu. You just do what I said.

Ayan, Riddhima and Vansh had reached Austria from Belgium. The dead bodies were taken to India where later on Riddhima, Vansh, Ayan, Kabir and Sejal also reached.

Two days after Raj, Aryan and Ajay’s funeral

Riddhima: Vansh, I need to speak something with you.

Vansh: But I have nothing to hear or speak. So, it’s better for you to go from here. One more thing, you don’t need to feel guilty. I played along with you all the while. So, I don’t think there is anything you should be guilty of. Moreover, if you want to say thanks then let me inform you that I didn’t save your brother rather I saved my best friend. So, there is no meed to apologise to me.

Riddhima: Mr.Rai-

Vansh: I think I am done Miss Ahana Raichand (Vansh leaves a perplexed Riddhima alone there)
