So guys, finally the most awaited BASKETBALL MATCH has arrived!! Hope you all are going to love it..

So the match started! Anupriya and Riva were cheering all of them. Vansh’s team has win first basket very easily and they knocked off Rudra.

Aaryan(teasing): “Ready to loose, Sia?”

Sia: “The match is not finished yet!”

Vansh won another basket also and this time he knocked off Angre.

Sia: “Riddhima.. we will loose do something!”

Vansh: “I never loose Sia.”

Riddhima: “And I never let my opponent win.” She said so, while putting the ball in the basket and her team won the first basket. So they knocked off Aaryan.

Vansh was impressed. Then again Riddhima win. This time it was Chanchal to knock off.

Now both teams were having two memebers. Anupriya was cheering for Riddhima, while Riva was silent but her fingers were crossed.

Vansh: “Nobody has ever defeated me in Basketball!”He said this to Riddhima taking ball from her.

Riddhima(taking the ball back): “Riddhima is not NOBODY!”

Ahana who was seeing all this was jealous. And then she stretched her leg so that Riddhima stumbles and falls, but instead of Riddhima, Sia fell down.

Everyone came near her.

Vansh: “Sia you okay?”

Sia: “Yeah, bhai.. I think my ankle has twisted..”

Riddhima touched Sia’s ankle and twisted it on other side.

Sia: “aaah! Ridd..”

Sia was relieved. Sia: “Oh! It’s fine now. Thank you Riddhima.”

Everyone started praising Riddhima which made Ahana mad..

Ahana(herself): “This girl can’t fail my plan!! I have got into this house and their lives from very hard work. And she can’t take Vansh from me.. I have struggled a lot to reach here. This cheapo can’t spoil my plan.”

Riddhima(herself): “Why I am not getting good vibes from Ahana? Why I am feeling she’s not the one everyone is thinking her as! Is she really Vansh’s wife?”

Then the game continued and this time Vansh did basket and Sia knocked off. Ahana smirked on Riddhima.

Ahana: “Vansh always wins when he’s with me”

Riddhima: “Oh is that so? So let’s make you out now!”

Riddhima win this time and Ahana was knocked off.

Vansh: “Impressive! You really know how to play! Nobody have stood for this much time against me in this game!”

Riddhima(teasing): “I already told you.. I am not NOBODY!”

Vansh and Riddhima laughed.

Riddhima was going to win the match by doing basket when Vansh jumped and took the ball. Riddhima chased him. Her balanced loose and she was about to fall. She closed her eyes, when she felt a warm touch around her waist. It was Vansh. Vansh saved her. Riddhima opened her eyes. They shared an eyelock (thoda thoda pyaar plays..)

Riva exclaimed happily: “Wow! Papa saved Dr.Ma!”

Ahana was furious at Riva for calling Riddhima Dr.Ma! She rebuked Riva when nobody was seeing her.This left Riva in tears.

And returning to the match. Riddhima was still on Vansh’s arms. Then Riddhima realised this is the right time.. She quickly removed his hands from her waist, and threw the ball on the basket..

Riddhima win the match!

Everyone shouted: “Riddhima won!”

Riddhima and team danced for their victory. Vansh got happy seeing her dancing like a kid. Anupriya who was noticing this went to Vansh.

Anupriya: “Till when you become happy at your opponent’s victory?”

Vansh: “She’s not my opponent, she’s my family!”

Anupriya(with a smile): “Oh so she has become your family?”

Vansh(cautiously): “I am talking about Sia, not Riddhima!”

Anupriya: “I never spoke I meant Riddhima from SHE!”

Vansh(in a irritated tone): “MOM!”

Anupriya(herself): “Finally Vansh has chosen the right girl!”

Then Anupriya also went to congratulate Riddhima. Vansh saw all the family members near her and having a fun time together.

Vansh(thinking): “Riddhima had made everyone fond of her in just a single day! I had never seen my family so much elated, Thank you Riddhima.”

Then Riddhima went towards Vansh.

Riddhima: “Vansh, have you seen Riva?”

Vansh: “No.. she was sitting here only, chearing YOU!”

Vansh congratulate her for winning, both shaked hands.

Riddhima went inside searching for Riva, when she found Ahana.

Riddhima: “Ahana, where is Riva?”

Ahana(irritated): “I am not her nanny that I must know her every move!”

Then Ahana went to Vansh.

Riddhima: “Why is she so weird?”

Riddhima continued searching for Riva, she went to Vansh’s room. She heard a sobbing voice.

Riddhima: “Riva? Are you here?”

The sobbing voiced stopped. Riddhima reached the other side of the bed and found Riva sitting on floor beside the bed. Her face was full of tears, and her eyes were red due to continuous crying.

Seeing her state Riddhima was feeling very unpleasant. Her feeling could not be explained, she could not stand the sight of seeing Riva crying.She quickly sat beside her.

Riddhima: “Riva! Why are you crying beta?” She spoke it so lovingly that Riva went to Riddhima’s lap. Riddhima held her in arms and made her comfortable in her lap, putting Riva’s face on her chest.

She was caressing her hairs and Riva found satisfaction in her arms. A strange bond has developed between the duo. (aisa koi pal ho, duniya ye door ho, chahe dil mera ki tu baithe sirhane, mere balon ko sahlane, jab tak na neend aae, tu kahi bhi na jaye… paheli song played)

Riva: “I don’t like her! She always scold me for no reason, she just acts lovingly when papa is around but when no one is watching her she always rebukes me.. and you know what Dr.Ma.. today she even slapped me!” crying more hard.

Riddhima: “Who dared to slap my daughter?”

Riddhima then noticed what she just said.. and then correcting herself: “Who are you talking about Riva?”

Riva: “Ahana masi!”

Riddhima: “Masi! Ahana is your masi?”

Riva: “Yes but I hate her. She just keep looking at papa all the time..”

Riddhima understood Ahana’s intentions. She removed Riva’s tears and kissed her on forehead.

Riva: “You know what Dr ma, masi says that I am a bad girl that’s why my mom had left me! Am I so bad that I can’t feel mother’s love? Am I so bad?” She cried really hard this time.

Listening to this, Riddhima was overwhelmed and was furious at Ahana. She wanted to give her a tight slap for making Riva cried a lot.

Riddhima: “Riva, you are the best daughter. And you know what if you don’t have your mom that doesn’t mean you are bad! You have such a loving family, and you have your father.. who love you like anything. And in fact you have your Dr Ma , I will never leave you alone beta.”

Riva: “Promise?”

Riddhima: “Yeah..Promise”

Then Riddhima stood taking Riva in her arms..

Riddhima: ‘Chalo Riva now we’ll play”

Riva: “Game! Yippee. But I don’t want masi in the game.”

Riddhima reached the yard taking Riva. Then she left Riva and went towards Ahana.

Riddhima(furiously): “What hell do you think of yourself? Don’t you know how to talk to a child? How dare you slapped her?”

Ahana: “Just keep your bl*ody mouth shut! It’s none of your business. It’s between me and my niece!”

Riddhima: “Niece? Literally!Which masi tells to her niece that your mother left because you are a bad girl? Do you have heart or not?”

Ahana stayed quiet.

Riddhima: “If you’re ashamed then get lost from here, otherwise I will tell Vansh, about what you did!”

At the other side.

Riva: “Papa, I want to play a game!”

Vansh: “Which?”

Riva looked to Riddhima. Riddhima: “Sitolia”

Everyone agreed.

Riddhima signalled Ahana to leave.

Ahana has no option because Riddhima knew that she slapped Riva. And if Vansh got to know this he will never see Ahana’s face. So Ahana left giving an excuse about some work.

Then they started playing sitolia. Riva and Riddhima enjoyed playing the game together. Everyone saw their bond. Riddhima and Riva were overjoyed to win together. They high fived and laughed. (khulke jeene ka tareeka tumhe sikhate hai, haske dekho na lateefa tumhe dikhate hai.. plays)

Everyone enjoyed. The game finished and everyone had lunch. They all were talking a lot.. not like the last time’s dinner. Just a day has changed everyone’s behaviour. Everyone was happy. All thanks to Riddhima!

Vansh: “Riddhima, we have to go today for searching your house! I have booked three appointments.. we will go after the lunch.”

Riddhima nodded.

Later Riddhima and Vansh went to search for house.

Inside car-

Riddhima: “Vansh, can I ask you something?”

Vansh: “Hmm?”

Riddhima: “It’s a bit personal!”

Vansh: “What’s it Riddhima?”

Riddhima: “What happened to your wife?”

Vansh (awestruck): “My wife! I am not married!”

Now it was time for Riddhima to left dumbstruck: “Then, Riva?”

Vansh: “It’s a long story and a bit complicated too.”

Riddhima understood that Vansh was hesitating: “Okay, if you don’t want to tell it’s fine.”

Vansh: “It’s not like that.. I don’t want Riva to know it!”

Riddhima: “I promise, I won’t tell Riva anything”

Vansh(sighed): “Okay…
