Episode starts with…
Vansh retired to the room but his thoughts were occupied by Riddhima and the fear of getting separated from her was freaking him to the core. He was in deep thoughts which were traveling from many angles of how she’d react seeing him to how he’d face her and many such.
Its 8am, AR Mansion,
Angre and Sejal reached home long back. Rudra and Chanchal retired to the guest room while Angre and Sejal decided to stay by Riddhima’s side for the night so Sejal slept beside her while Angre chose to sleep on the couch. Their sleep was disturbed by a scream and woke to find Riddhima sweating and taking Angre’s name
Riddhima (closed eyes, sweating): Bhai!! Bhai!! Bhai!!!!
Angre rushed to her while Sejal was constantly trying to wake her and then she woke in a startle and as her eyes fell around her she realized she’s safe and then she hugged Angre relieving her stress and fear
Angre (patting her back): Am here Riddhu!! Nothing will happen!! Calm down.
After a while, she once again dozed off holding Angre’s hand while he was caressing her.
Sejal: Bhai she’ll be fine. You need to be strong to handle her, if you fall weak then how can you manage her and others!
Angre just nodded but deep down even he needed support after seeing his little sister all alone fighting this way! He wanted to heal her but how! Will he be able to? With all these thoughts running he was staring at his sister who had pain and fear even in her sleep. Her fear conquered her peace and now finding solace seemed difficult.
Its 1 pm, AR Mansion,
Riddhima was sitting on her bed while the elders were back and were trying to make up Riddhima’s mind from the tortures of past hours. She was trying to smile but everyone there was aware of her fake smile.
Riddhima (whispers): Sejal where is Vansh? He didn’t come to see me after he dropped me home
Sejal (whispers): Even am clueless. I just know that he left for home after dropping you
Riddhima (whispering): Where are Ishani and Siya?
Sejal (whispering): Ishani pinged me stating that they started and will be here any moment
Riddhima nodded but her thoughts were occupied by Vansh’s absence; while
Its 1 pm, RS Mansion,
Vansh’s state was no different as even he was missing her and wanted to meet her but the fear of her not meeting him or ignoring him was freaking him. He convinced himself to stay back and pretended to be busy when Siya came to call him.
Siya: Bhai me and Ishani di are going to see bhabhi. You too join us
Vansh: No Siya am a bit busy, I’ll join later
Siya: But bhai…
Vansh: Siya please leave
Siya didn’t bother him and went out of the room and informed the same to Ishani
Siya: Di, bhai was refusing to meet bhabhi for whom he was searching 27 hours without eating anything. What happened to him? Why is he behaving as if she doesn’t matter to him!
Ishani: Siya maybe bhai is busy it’s ok. He’ll join us soon
They both left towards AR Mansion while in Vansh’s room
Vansh (closing his laptop): I can’t face her after all that happened! I am not sure how she’d react! I want to take her into my arms, caress her, heal her wounds, and want to assure that she is safe and secure but…. but do I still have that right! Am I worth her love!! Does she still love me? After listening to Ragini’s statements! Do I deserve her after failing to protect her!!!
Unaware of him his tears made their way flowing down his rough beard. Ishani and Siya reached AR Mansion and as soon as they saw Riddhima they hugged her tight trying to relieve their hours long of pain but as soon as she winced due to her pain on her neck, they backed out
Ishani: Am sorry Riddhima, I couldn’t save you. I should have tried hard to stop them but I couldn’t (crying)
Riddhima (holding her hands): Ishani you tried all that you can but they overpowered us so stop blaming yourself. Am fine.
Ishani just nodded and they all were trying to create a normal environment around her but Riddhima’s eyes were in search of only one person who didn’t dare to show his face and she wasn’t aware of his fear. She did feel low due to all that happened with her in the last few hours but she’s aware that if there’s anyone who could give her solace then that’s going to be him but the major question was WHERE IS HE? WHY ISN’T HE HERE!!!!
2 days passed by but Riddhima’s eyes only searched for Vansh but he was nowhere to be seen. She thought of not giving a chance to any elder to doubt her and Vansh’s relation so she avoided the topic in front of them and when she found alone by herself on that day, she decided to ask them about him without delay as negative thoughts made their way in her mind freaking her, she decided to take a chance to reach Vansh and started searching something in her room but in vain, when Siya entered
Siya: Bhabhi what are you searching for?
Riddhima: Siya did you see my phone?
Angre: It’s here Riddhu
Riddhima grabbed it and started dialing Vansh’s number but no response, she calls once again yet no response. She gets pissed and once again dials his number and yet no response!!! She gets hurt, irritated, and pissed. She throws her phone on the bed and sits on the edge of the bed confusing Angre and Siya
Angre: Riddhu what happened?
Riddhima (hurt): What happened to your friend bhai? Ouch (due to the pain on her wrist and neck)
Siya: Bhabhi you fine? (worried)
Angre: You ok (worried)!!! Vansh? (confused)
Riddhima (rolling her eyes): Who else?
Siya: But bhabhi what did bhai do?
Riddhima: Exactly! He isn’t doing anything. Where the hell is he? Why isn’t he here? I didn’t see him after he dropped me here. It’s been 2 days goddammit and I didn’t even get a glimpse of him. Now he isn’t even answering my calls. Where the hell is he?
Ishani: Riddhima I think bhai is busy. Because whenever we informed him about coming here he used to say he’ll join us later
Riddhima: Didn’t his later yet arrive? (sarcasm)
Angre: Riddhu, calm down. Stress isn’t good for your health
Riddhima: What stress bhai!!! Here he is neither answering my calls nor paid a visit to me yet! (upset)
Angre (thinking): Something is definitely wrong. He left without meeting her and now he didn’t even come, neither called nor messaged her. Why is he not here? Is he avoiding her? But why will he? He loves her so why is he avoiding her! As per my knowledge, there aren’t any meetings or work for which he’d ignore her. And vaise bhi he’d chose her not the meeting or work, then why is he not here?!! I think I need to speak to him
