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.
************************************
Riddhima: Be ready. Your death is coming to you.
Riddhima without wasting a single moment barges out of the room.
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: The one who planned the accident. For now read this diary, your many doubts will get cleared.
Dear Diary,
“Zindagi Suraj ki kirne ki tarah hai
Jahape kabhi kabhi andhera a sakta hai
Lekin is ka matlab yeh nahi hai ki
Roshni ka chehra phirse dekh na pao
Waqt aur Qudrat ka khel hai yeh
Andhere ke baad hi ujaala hai”
Not so good right? I was just trying to write something. These days are such that I can’t stop myself from being philosophical. Looks like I have to join as a writer instead of concentrating on this underworld. Lol! I am becoming crazy. Someone please appoint for me in the mental asylum.
*************
Dear Diary,
‘Alfazon mein kaise bayan karu dil ki jazbaat
Kuch baat to aise hai jo lafzon ki dariye se nahi bhavna se samajhna padhta hai’
These lines are of my Ridhu. Like me, she is also trying to write something. She is trying to write these lines initially. That’s why she couldn’t maintain the rythm. Don’t how but we both get the same interests at the same time. Remember once she had got huge interest in painting. She paints too often now. My interest had faded away soon. But she maintained her one. At the end of every canvas, she writes ‘A’ in a unique way. Sejal and I tried to copy it so many times but still none of us were able to complete it. I have the photograph of that symbol. I will not paste it here. Rather, I will inside those pics in that file.
****************
Yaar, this Ayan betrayed me. He made a tattoo on his hand and he didn’t even bother to tell me this. I am away from there and everyone is doing most of the most of the things without letting me know anything. This Ayan made a tattoo where on the other hand Ridhu and Seju made a bet in which Ridhu had lost. But my angry Ridhu couldn’t accept her defeat and she took 8 cups of black coffee. Humans need water and oxygen for living and she needs coffee. Oh God! What should I do with her coffee? Sometimes I feel that her extra special black coffee should given to the prisoners. They will beg for death instead of having that black poison. Lol! I am praising so much about her black coffee. What if she finds out? Well, even if she reads it anytime, she won’t say anything to me, I know it well.
******************
Dear Diary,
Now I don’t need to punish Ayan as he has been already punished by Seju and Ridhu. These girls arranged a cooking competition today where Ayan was the judge. Tears came in my eyes by seeing the pcs of their dishes. Don’t know how Ayan managed to taste them. Seju texted me that she wanted me to taste that dish and asked me to feel its taste by seeing the picture only. Glad that I tasted it virtuall only. Bechara Ayan! He must found the ‘Abracadabra Pizza’ and the coffee chocolate noodles very tasty. They both told Ayan that they were inspired to make these dishes from MasterChef. If the judges and contestants would have come to know about then they would have get a heart attack. I was laughing at Ayan’s condition when Vanshu asked me if I was possessed by any ghosts that I was laughing all alone. It seems that I am the only sensible person left in this crazy world.
****************
Trust takes time to be made but it can be broken in a moment. Never in my life I imagined that I could break uncle’s trust in this way. I don’t how the information were leaked. The information was in my phone only. I broke his faith on me. He lost this deal only because of me. Aryan had insisted a lot to take this but Raj uncle trusted me with this deal and I broke it…………….
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.
Vansh: We have reached now.
In Riddhima’s room,
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.
My Dear Cute angel,
Separated by a distance of 2293 km, we are still connected together. Finding someone who can handle your mood swings isn’t an easy thing. Don’t know how you can understand my mood about my mood by seeing my message. I guess I always guess the wrong . From your perspective, AA stands for your name but from mine perspective it stands for our name. Both of our name starts with A. More than one decade ago, you were born on this day. Sweetness is the only word which describes you well (Now don’t say that you are not sweet. None will believe it) You made your debut in TellyUpdates on 30th November. That day we targeted to cross double century for the first time but instead we crossed 475 comments. After guessing your country by your word ‘api’, I felt myself to be a great detective. Aishu, Ayshu whatever I call you it is directly from the heart eating the ‘e’ of your name. You can hide your identity from everyone but not from me. Don’t worry I didn’t inform Sejal that you are our childhood best friend. Start and end your special day with a smile. Smiling is the only thing which suits you. I wish when you cut the pizza all your wishes come true (I know it well you don’t like cutting cakes). Wondering why I am wishing you so earlier? It’s beacause I want to make you feel special much before from your birthday. 24 hours is not enough for celebrating birthday. The earlier we start celebrating it, the more fun is there. And I am now feeling strange as myself spoilt the surprise. Now I can’t even write stop smiling at this letter as you have already read it once. Don’t know how I sent it to earlier. May Allah’s grace be always on you. May your life be full with His Rehmat. May you get the strength to face every hurdles to reach your dream. All your dreams and wishes may be fulfilled. Advance Happy Birthday to you!!!!!
From
Your Alu❤️
Sejal: It means Ridhu hid the fact all this while that AA is our childhood buddy. Let her come home today. I will not let her drink for coffee for two days. Then we can see the punishment of the betrayal.
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?
Ayan Goenka: Why the hell have you come here?
Aryan: Why are you getting so angry bro? Can’t I come to meet my little sister and elder brother?
Hearing Aryan’s voice, Sejal comes out of the room.
Aryan: Hey Seju! Won’t you take blessings from your elder brother? Touch my feet and ask for some brain as blessing.
Ayan Goenka: Why have you come here?
Aryan: Of course! Bro, I have come to take your interview.
Ayan Goenka : So, Mr.Ayan Goenka, how are you feeling after knowing my truth? Quite interesting, right?
Sejal: You.. you shameless creature
Aryan : Shhh Seju! Who calls her brother shameless? Looks like you have forgotten your manners. Bad, very bad. By the way, Ayan you didn’t tell me how you felt after knowing that I was behind your Kabir’s accident. Must be shocked, right? The one who gave you this information has already gone to God. Now it’s your turn (saying this Aryan brings out his gun but Ayan was fast enough to throw that far.)
A physical fight broke out between those two. Sejal was panicking standing at a distance. In one point of the fight, Aryan over powered Ayan and Aryan was about to shoot Ayan with the other gun but before he could do that someone else shot Aryan on his back. Both Aryan and Ayan were shocked seeing Sejal shooting Aryan.
Sejal: I…I…I…
Aryan: You……(Aryan breathes his last)
Sejal (panicking): I… didn’t… mean… to… I….. wanted …. to shoot…legs…..not… back
Ayan (after understanding Sejal’s condition): Calm down! You didn’t mean to shot him on the back.It was just unintentional.
Sejal: No, I…. Killed…. I killed…..
Ayan starts pacifying Sejal that she didn’t kill Aryan while Aryan’s lifeless body was on the floor.
In Austria,
The deal was finalised. The Sharmas had won the deal against the Raisinghanias. Ajay Raisinghania was furious at this as he lost a deal of 5000 million dollars. Raj was not seeming to be happy even after winning the deal.
Raj: I think we both should have a talk privately for some minutes.
Ajay : Looks you have something to speak
Raj: And you have something important to hear.
They both give signals their men to leave them alone for sometime.
Ajay: What do you want to tell?
Raj: Though I won the deal today, I am not happy as I lost the race of life because of you. My own son betrayed me by teaming up with you.
Ajay: So, you got to know the truth
Raj: Truth is never meant to hide. The truth had to come one day. Even you are going to get a big shock because of your son. He has kept the person alive whom you wanted to kill.
Ajay : What do you mean?
Raj: Kabir Raichand is alive and it’s only because of your son. He has kept him alive.
Ajay: It can’t be possible.
Raj (smirks): It is the truth. Do you know why I am telling you all this? Beacuse a person should leave this world after knowing everything (this sentence was enough for Ajay to understand everything.)
Both Raj and Ajay are now pointing gun at each other.
Raj: I won’t feel bad even if I die today as I will be able to kill you.
Ajay: Neither I would feel bad
They both shoot at each other. Two lifeless bodies were now on the floor. Hearing the gun shot, their men come in the room and were shocked to see the scenerio.
In the hideout
Kabir was awake when Vansh and Riddhima reached there. Seeing Kabir there, Riddhima runs to him.
Riddhima: Bhai!
Kabir:Ridhu
Riddhima goes and hugs him
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?
Kabir: I am extremely sorry for those incidents.
Vansh: That was past, now it’s present. Let us live in the present now
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)
Khwahish meri aatish bani
Kiya kiya magar saazish bani
Cheene koyi saansein meri
Loote mera chaina
Soona laage mera manwa
Bujhne lage naina
Jaise sitara taqdeer hara
Karta raha iltejah
Koyi chand rakh meri shaam par
Mera dil jaale tere naam par
