The Episode Starts with…..
Vansh realised something and stared at Angre with emotions in his eyes. Angre’s eyes understood what he wanted to say and handed him his phone which Vansh grabbed and stared at the screen and saw….
He saw Riddhima sitting near the bed and was weeping unconsolably with Vansh’s shirt in her hand. Her eyes were speaking many emotions. She could feel betrayed and is cursing herself for once loving and trusting Kabir who’s now up to harming her family. (it was live footage of Riddhima and Vansh’s room)
Riddhima: Vansh! Vansh where are you! Why did you leave me alone! There’s no one who could help me! Kabir and Mummy ji are behind everything that happened with us and our family. How do I tell this truth to family! Kabir is manipulating them. If you were here then nothing this sought would have happened! How do I deal alone with them! How do I save our family? Vansh please show me a way! Please come back Vansh am unable to breath here! Am feeling lonely! Am broke without you. Your Riddhima is all alone after you left her. She needs you Vansh! I need my Vansh back!!! (crying her heart out)
Vansh who witnessed all this felt as if someone chopped his heart. He couldn’t see her in tears even when what he is seeking was revenge on her for betraying him. Angre who observed Vansh’s state held his shoulder to comfort him. Vansh who came back to senses, realised that even his tears made their way witnessing her in that state. He wiped his tears and turned towards Angre with stern look.
Vansh: Angre what about the details I asked for!
Angre: Boss I got all and what I saw in them proves bhabhi innocent and she was trapped in the dirty game of Anupriya Ji and Kabir all this while. Though she came here with a motive of spying on you, later when she realised that you are innocent, she started loving you and she was in fact trying to save Ragini from your enemies so she kidnapped her. And attack on Siya was done by Anupriya Ji and bhabhi is nowhere concerned on this!!
Vansh was heartbroken and stood there motionless!! He was ashamed of himself for not trusting his Riddhima and leaving her alone when she needed him the most!!! He collapsed on ground unable to take it any longer
Vansh (sobbing): Am such a fool Angre! I trusted that Kabir and not my Riddhima. She was not at fault; it was me who’s supposed to bear all that’s happening with Riddhima! Her tears, her care, her affection, her emotions, her love everything was true which my eyes couldn’t identify! I assumed her to be betrayer and was planning revenge on her to avenge the betrayal but the fact was I was never loyal to her varna I’d have never assumed her to betray me. She was protecting me and my family but what did I do for her!! I always accused her, insulted her and never cared for her. Now her condition is because of me! She’s facing the wrath of Kabir and Anupriya because of protecting me and my family! How do I save her Angre! How do I save my Riddhima!!!!
Angre: Bhai, please control yourself. You need to be strong enough to handle this matter! Am with you in this and am ready to do whatever you ask me to do! But I’d like to suggest you that you need to reveal the truth to everyone now. Its time everyone know that you are alive!
Vansh: NO Angre!! I think now my family’s life is in danger! I need to save them and for that we need to go by our previous plan! I need to enter the mansion as an imposter.
Angre: But bhai what about bhabhi! She needs you! She’s broken!
Vansh staring at the phone where he could see Riddhima hugging his shirt and was crying to sleep.
Vansh: I can see that Angre but now even her life is in danger and if I enter as Vansh then Kabir has proofs against me and would plan to send me behind bars. First I need to find the proofs and destroy them. I need to enter the VR Mansion and target my enemies. I want to confuse them. I want them to expect me to be an imposter and focus on me rather than on hurting my family.
Angre: I understand bhai but how do we do all this! I mean shall I do that? Shall I search for the proofs Kabir has in his or Anupriya ji’s room?
Vansh: Angre first of all don’t give that women any respect she doesn’t deserve. And secondly, you can’t find the proofs Angre, he’s smart but not more than Vansh Rai Singhania. Now, this task will be completed by Mrs. Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania my sweetheart! She’ll do this! (giving an adoring smirk to her pic)
Angre: Boss you want to involve bhabhi in this dangerous game! (shocked)
Vansh: NO never Angre! I won’t reveal my identity but I’d be an imposter for her and make sure she takes me into the house and then we shall work on our plan to trap Anupriya and Kabir.
Angre: But boss if you do this don’t you think you’ll be hurting her when she learns the truth and first of all she is bhabhi and she pretty well knows you in and out so she might identify you
Vansh: I know my Riddhima she’ll definitely identify me but I need to be careful and pretend to be an imposter of Vansh!! And I’ll do that so she doesn’t doubt me.
Angre: As you say boss!!
Vansh: You keep an eye on Kabir and Anupriya. I don’t want them to harm my family most importantly Riddhima!!
Angre: Boss I need to inform one more thing
Vansh: Yes!!
Angre: Am not sure how you’d react but bhabhi had a past with Kabir
Vansh (shock): WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Vansh: Angre tell me clearly what you mean
Angre: Boss bhabhi entered into our house on saying of Kabir as then they were in relation but…
Vansh: That means she betrayed me!!! (hurt and angry)
Angre: No boss!!!
Vansh: Be clear
Angre: Boss it’s true that Bhabhi loved Kabir and so was convinced to spy on you and reached here and when she realised that you are innocent and what exactly you are, she broke with Kabir to start a new life with you and she did! After she started loving you, she never had any relation with Kabir! She always maintained distance from him and was always protecting you and loving only you. Now for her you are her everything.
Vansh: How can you say that she loves me and is not betraying me!
Angre: Boss I have the recording of that park where bhabhi broke with Kabir and accepted that she only loves you and will save you because you are innocent.
Angre shows him the video footage of the park. Vansh seemed happy yet sad! He wasn’t sure of how should he react now!! He decided not to react for a while. Angre and Vansh discussed their further plan and once Angre left, Vansh slipped into deep thoughts
Vansh: Riddhima am unable to understand you. You were in my life on Kabir’s sayings as you love him but do you still love him? Am unable to digest the fact that am not your first choice! But I need to appreciate you and your love! You entered into VR Mansion being aware that you would be in risk just because you love Kabir. This shows to what extent you can go for love. And I have even seen the live experience of what you’d do for someone whom you feel they are yours. I have seen you taking the bullet which was meant for me on you. Then I couldn’t see your innocence but now I appreciate your guts. Am lucky to have you in my life. And the truth is none could love me the way you do!! I know what am going to do will hurt you and your feelings but trust me this is needed. Get ready to meet your Vansh sweetheart!!! Tomorrow you are going to meet me but not Vansh instead Vihaan!!!
Next Day,
Vansh wanted to have access to the footages of the mansion so that he can have an eye on Riddhima while Angre eyes on Kabir and Anupriya so that Vansh would be alert in case she’s in some danger. He was witnessing Riddhima’s broken state as she recollects Kabir’s confession and her helplessness.
Riddhima: Why Vansh! Why did you leave me!! Am unable to bear this loneliness! Our family is in danger because of me and am helpless! I cant reveal their truth to anyone because if I do am afraid they’ll harm our family! I cant even sit idle seeing our family in danger! What do I do Vansh! Please show me a way!
She saw her image in the mirror and broke it to vent her frustration when Kabir came and
Kabir: What will you do Riddhima, poor Vansh, he got killed in love, and you got ruined in love. He says you lost everything Riddhima.
He pours some black powder around her and makes a circle.
Kabir: Sometimes I feel there is a devil in me, this is Kalyug, no Lord will come to kill a devil, when you can’t break this Chakravyuh, then compromise with it as fate, if you try to break this, then there will be bloodshed, I don’t know who will die, who will get hurt, but it will happen, bloodshed will happen in this family, you will be responsible for it.
Riddhima (weeping): No Kabir, please….
Kabir: You know my entire truth now, did you think why you are alive, because you loved me, I know to value true love, so I didn’t throw you out of the house, because you are an orphan and now a widow also, where will you go. (smirk)
Once he left Riddhima sits there crying, cursing her fate for always betraying her. She suddenly heard Vansh’s voice and ran towards window and in the lawn saw Vansh standing with his back towards her. She ran towards the lawn shouting his name. Vansh who saw Riddhima running, he had a doubt and checked the lawn footage to find nothing suspicious. He understood it was Riddhima’s illusion.
Vansh: Am sorry sweetheart! I am now aware how broke you are because of my one foolish act! My death has disturbed your mental peace. Trust your Vansh I’ll set everything right! Its time for you to meet me. We’ll meet in few minutes.
Riddhima ran into the lawn to realise it was her illusion and the reality was that Vansh left her. She walked out of the mansion absentmindedly and reached a temple and was walking on the glass pieces spread on the floor. She went in to pray, question and demand justice for her prayers. As she stepped out, some goons attacked her for the bangles on her hands, she surrendered her bangles to avoid any further clashes and when she was about to leave, a goon noticed her Mangal sutra on her hand and demanded to hand it over to them. She realised that Vansh wore it to her before he jumped off the cliff and she was adamant to not let anyone dare take the last token of Vansh from her. She resisted to their demands and tried pleading them to spare her mangal sutra but goons tried to snatch it from her and even tried to threaten her by showing a knife and were about to stab her when she refused to share her Vansh’s last token. She closed her eyes in reflex of being attacked when a hand stopped the attack, she saw a tall personality fighting with the goons. Due to sun rays falling on her face she wasn’t able to clearly see his face. When all goons left, he proceeded towards Riddhima who was trying hard to see the face of her saviour. As he approached her, his face was clear to him and her eyes widened in shock cum surprise. For a moment her happiness had no bounds and the very moment due to weakness and shock she collapsed in his arms, shocking him.
He tried to wake her but in vain. He stared at that innocent face which now had swollen eyes due to continuous crying for days in his demise. Her lips were murmuring his name. Listening to his name in her voice was what he craved for days. He though never let Angre know that he’s missing Riddhima, but when he learned her truth he couldn’t control himself because of which he was dragged to implement his plan this soon. He was caressing her face adoringly and observing the tiredness in that face. He could sense her condition; how broke she was and how she was ready to hurt herself but not let her anyone snatch her mangal sutra which was a token of his existence.
Vansh: What did you make yourself Riddhima! Your feet are hurt. What is this!!! The Riddhima I know is strong enough and fights but you doesn’t seem to be that Riddhima anymore. You were seriously about to get hurt rather than letting them snatch this mangal sutra from you! How could you be so stupid! What if they weren’t my goons and indeed attacked you! What if anything happened to you! You are so foolish! Is that so valuable to you? Why? Because it’s my memory?? How can I doubt you sweetheart! You are so pure and innocent. I am ashamed of myself for not trusting you and concluding my own theories against you and seeking revenge. Thankfully, your Bappa helped me by providing me with the truth or else I don’t know what would I have done in my foolishness!!! Chalo now let me leave you home. We’ll soon meet and you’ll come searching for me. Till then I’ll wait for you.
He lifts her in his arms and reaches VR Mansion. He left her near the gate and looked around to see his mansion and before anyone else could see him he gave a small peck on her forehead and left from there. Dadi reached lawn for a stroll when she noticed Riddhima unconscious near the gate. She shouted her name and ran towards her. Listening to her voice Ishani rushed to see Riddhima in that state. She checked her pulse
Ishani: Dadi relax, she’s just unconscious.
Dadi: How can I!! Look at her feet! She’s wounded.
Angre who was in study heard dadi’s voice and ran out to find Ishani and dadi standing near the gate and their backs were towards him. He rushed to see what happened and what he saw was something he least expected.
Angre: What happened to bhabhi?
Dadi: Angre lets take her in!
Angre agrees and lifts her in his arms and takes her inside. Once he lays her in couch, he sprinkles water on her to bring her to senses. Riddhima gets up and
Riddhima (shouts): Vansh…
Chanchal: Vansh isn’t between us now, it’s better if you accept this soon.
Dadi stares at Chanchal.
Dadi: What happened Riddhima.
Riddhima: Outside the temple…
Dadi: What.
Riddhima thinks I’m seeing Vansh everywhere, was that my illusion too. Was Vansh there?
Ishani: Say
Riddhima: Dadi, I went to temple, maybe I fainted, I’m fine, don’t worry.
Dadi: How can’t I worry, you have lost it, if anything happened to you, I already lost Vansh, Siya is in coma, understand one thing, my heart has become weak, I can’t bear more wounds, don’t be careless again, sit back.
Riddhima: I’m fine, I promise this won’t happen again, don’t take stress, else your health will get bad.
Angre: I will call the doctor.
Riddhima: No, I will do the dressing myself.
Riddhima thinks of Vansh. She thinks was it my illusion or something else, I have to find out, who was he. Angre who was observing Riddhima’s broke state and confused expression, he decided to speak to Vansh. He calls Vansh
Angre: Boss vo bhabhi…
Vansh: How is she now! Did you call the doctor? Her feet has wounds!
Angre (confused): Bhai how do you know…. One second!!! Is it all your plan?
Vansh: Yes Angre
Angre (shock): Did bhabhi see you?
Vansh: She did see me but before she could react she collapsed may be due to shock and dizziness. Didn’t she eat anything?
Angre: Boss am confused but yes I wanted to call doctor but she refused and yes she isn’t eating anything properly so may be because of that but I didn’t understand how you met her and what exactly happened!
Vansh: Angre what actually happened is…..
Vansh tells him about his goons attack and he meeting her
Angre: Boss you sure this plan will work?
Vansh: I know my Riddhima, she’ll now start searching me and I’ll make sure she reaches me.
Angre: But bhai what if bhabhi assumes it to be her illusion?
Vansh: Angre may be you are neglecting the fact that she is Mrs. Vansh Rai Singhania and she has the habit of spying so yes definitely her mind wont be in peace until she finds out if it was her illusion or reality
Angre: Understood boss!! What next?
Vansh: Take care of her till I come. I know I didn’t believe her and wanted revenge but now when I have learned her truth I want to protect her. Am not there so I want you to take this responsibility.
Angre: Boss don’t worry! I’ll take care of bhabhi and I assure you I wont let anything happen to her or family. Am having my focus on both Kabir and Anupriya. I wont let them harm anyone here!
Vansh: I trust you.
They disconnected the call. As Vansh expected Riddhima started her investigation to reach him and he was placing the clues making it easy for her to reach him asap. Meanwhile Kabir threatened Aryan and got him and his mother under him. Ishani was getting on his nerves, dadi always seemed to be away from these matters. Ishani was getting irked by Kabir trying to take her Vansh Bhai’s place in this house. She wanted to get rid of him.
Riddhima’s spy nature did finally take her to her Vansh! she reached his place and when she entered, she saw the room dark and there was a system and a person is seen seated there and due to no proper light she wasn’t able to see his face. She started moving towards his direction and he stood and walked towards her and came into light. that’s when Riddhima eyes widened in shock, she couldn’t believe her eyes, she felt numb, she felt petrified. She had many emotions. She tries to gather courage and murmurs…. Vansh… her eyes now filled with tears of happiness, she wanted to run and hug him, she wanted to feel his voice, feel his breath. She once again murmured Vansh!!!
