The Episode Starts with….
Orphanage Hostel,
Sejal was jumping in excitement and happiness while Riddhima was stunned and wasn’t in a position to react. She wasn’t actually understanding what was happening or what happened! She was puzzled. She was confused.
Riddhima: …. …. Vansh accepted me as his wife. ….. Vansh gave me my identity. Vansh accepted he loves me. …… Vansh rejected Ahana for me. Vansh showed Ahana and Kabir their place for me! …… Vansh did all this for me!!! (crying)
Sejal: Arrey buddu yes he did all this for you. He gave everything he snatched from you.
Riddhima (sobbing): He accepted he loves me in front of the whole world! He accepted he committed a mistake. He accepted he hurt me. He accepted…. (trying to breathe) …. He accepted am his wife. He accepted he hurt me…. He accepted he broke me!!! He asked for forgiveness…. He asked for apologies!!!
Sejal: Arrey Riddhima he accepted his mistakes. Not only Vansh in fact whole family accepted they misunderstood you and are asking for forgiveness. Why are you yet unable to believe it! Look Riddhima I accept they hurt you but even you need to understand that whatever he did was for your protection and nothing else. In fact, I think you need to forgive them. They deserve a chance.
Riddhima:
“How can you say this Sejal! They broke me. They hurt me. Vansh whom I loved with whole dedication insulted my love, I accept it was all his plan but that doesn’t give him the right to hurt/ play my emotions and feelings. I accept he apologized but that doesn’t mean I’ll forget everything and get back to him. I always compromised on my self – respect just for the sake of love I have for him and his family. But now I don’t think I can do this. That Riddhima who loved Vansh immensely is dead (crying). That Riddhima who got a family is no more now. That Riddhima who always strived for love and family now feels all that is a fantasy world. Maybe my life was at stake because of Ahana and Kabir but does it give Vansh the right to disown me? I loved him and sacrificed my everything for him and his family and what did I get in return? Disrespect! Insult!!! Hatred!! And names such as Gold – Digger!!!! Don’t I have feelings? Am I a bot? It hurts Sejal!! It hurts. I never expected anything from him or his family. I had only wish that I have a family of mine. Because being an orphan I know how its to have no family. I wanted a family for myself but even after all these months, I didn’t get that. Vansh who was my everything one day he snatches my everything including my identity and I suddenly become an unknown person to them. The reason that he was doing all this for my safety doesn’t justify his acts. (collapsed on the ground) I accept our marriage wasn’t any normal wedding but that doesn’t mean I won’t be respected or I don’t deserve respect. I accepted the relationship with him and his family but I didn’t find the same happening with me. They never accepted me. I was a pawn or should I say a game that was played by a number of persons depending on the situation or person. My feelings were nothing for him or his family. They never trusted me. I don’t think they do that even now. They are just guilty for their behavior towards me. They aren’t sorry for the pain they gave me. They are guilty and there’s a difference between being Guilty and Feeling sorry. In these 6 months of marriage, I compromised on my self – respect but I can’t do that anymore I wanted a transparent relationship and this is not what I wanted. I accept today whole family stood for me. The way Ishani hugged Vansh proves that they were against him just because they thought he was about to give my right to Ahana but will it heal the wounds they gave me in these 6 months? In this relationship, there isn’t any trust. And you want me to forget my pain and reconcile with them so easily?”
Riddhima was by now in tears continuously crying and Sejal too was sobbing seeing her best friend’s state.
Sejal: Am sorry Riddhima. My intentions weren’t to hurt you. I just wanted to see you happy and as you love Vansh I thought you’d be happy with him.
Riddhima: I cant Sejal!!! I can’t!!!!! It’s paining Sejal. It’s paining to see myself falling apart.
Sejal was consoling her. They weren’t aware that they were being watched.
VR Mansion,
Reporter 1: Am sorry for whatever your family had to face, most importantly your wife Mrs. Riddhima. But I have a doubt
Vansh: Shoot
Reporter 1: Sir if your intention was to introduce your wife Riddhima then why did you spread the news that you want to share an update along with your so-called wife Ahana? Why did you spread fake news?
Vansh (smirking and smiling): Because if I revealed my intentions, then Kabir and Ahana’s truth might have never come out. They might have tried to manipulate the situation which I can’t let happen.
Reporter 2: We understood your point sir but may I ask you where is Mrs. Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania?
Reporter 4: Is she in this city or did she leave? Is she watching all this now?
Ishani: Angre, bhai doesn’t know that Riddhima is in her orphanage hostel. I think we need to inform him
Angre: I think you are right. I’ll inform him
Angre approached him and was about to say something when
Vansh (smiling): Don’t you think you are underestimating Vansh Rai Singhania by asking those questions! I keep a tab on everything then how could you think I won’t have updates on where my Riddhima is!!
Siya (shock): What!! Does Bhai know where bhabhi is?
Angre: I didn’t inform him anything!
Kabir (shock): What!!!!
Vansh: Why are you shocked, Kabir? I have information about my wife, not your Ahana (smirk)
Vansh: By the way you don’t deserve to see my Riddhima and so by the time we meet her, you’ll be in a place where you deserve
Vansh: DGP Sir!!! (shouts)
DGP with many cops behind him enter VR Mansion
DGP: Inspector Kabir we are ashamed to have such a creepy police officer in our department now you’ll be behind bars for many crimes. And Dr. Ahana you are a partner in crime so even you are going to face many charges against you.
They take Ahana and Kabir along with them while Ahana and Kabir give a fuming look towards Vansh and his family while Vansh smirk seeing them being dragged. Once they are left,
Dadi: Vansh how do you know about Riddhima? Because we got to know a few minutes back
Vansh: Dadi Angre got to know a bit late than Vansh (wink at Angre)
Ishani: I didn’t get you
Vansh: You remember last night you asked me where was I coming from!
Angre: Yes (confused)
Vansh: I was coming after seeing my Riddhima
Siya: Bhai you are confusing. Do you mean to say bhabhi knew that you know about her?
Vansh: If she had known that I knew her location then she’d have vacated that place last night itself. She isn’t aware that am aware of her location. I knew that Angre isn’t going to help me in finding Riddhima as he was in a misconception that am hurting her so I had my ways to find her and found her late at night when she checked in her orphanage hostel. I returned home after making sure she’s safe there and none is keeping an eye on her.
Hostel,
Riddhima (shocked): What!!! Vansh was here last night!!! I didn’t even know he was keeping an eye on me!! How’s that possible! I mean how did he know about my hostel! He doesn’t know it right!!!
Sejal: Riddhima maybe he got to know about it. He’s Vansh Rai Singhania. There are chances he had his sources and maybe got to know about the hostel.
Riddhima: I didn’t want him to know my whereabouts. Now, I think I need to shift to some other location
Sejal: Have you gone mad! Why do you want to?
Riddhima: I don’t want to see him or his family!!! Their glance reminds me of the pain I went through. Maybe I need time to accept!!
Sejal: Accept what?
Riddhima: I don’t know am confused!!!
VR Mansion,
Reporter 2: Sir, now what are you going to do?
Reporter 4: Sir, we want to see Mrs. Riddhima. Is it possible?
Ishani: You are seeing her in these pictures right!
Vansh (smiling): Ishani they are speaking of having her glimpse face – to – face.
Reporter 1: Yes sir. Is it possible?
Hostel,
Riddhima (panic): No, No, NO!!! Sejal I don’t want to face anyone!!! Not these reporters in whose presence I was insulted, in whose presence my identity was snatched!!!
Sejal: Riddhima calm down. I don’t think they’ll come here! Please calm down!! Am here
VR Mansion,
Vansh: That’s not totally possible because I know her, she’s now in a panic with the thought of facing you reporters in whose presence, she was insulted and her identity was snatched. She won’t be comfortable facing you all. But….
Hostel,
Sejal: Look he’s so understanding and he’s aware of your state too. You are lucky Riddhima. You found such an understanding husband
Riddhima didn’t utter a word. She was just blankly staring at her TV Screen
VR Mansion,
Reporter 3: But??
Vansh: You can see her present state because of me and my family. You can have her glance but no questions.
Dadi: What do you mean Vansh?
Hostel,
Riddhima: What is he speaking? Sejal I don’t want to face anyone!!! (panic)
Sejal: Riddhima please relax. We exactly don’t know what he’s up to!!! Please don’t panic.
VR Mansion,
Vansh calls someone,
Vansh (on-call): Are all the arrangements done? Ok then release them now!!!
Siya: Ishani what’s bhai doing?
Ishani: Even am confused. Angre do you have any idea?
Angre: Am having an instinct but am not sure!
Ishani: What’s your instinct?
Vansh (smiles): Ishani you’ll get your answers now!
Vansh: Please everyone pay your attention to the screen
Hostel,
Riddhima: What does he want to show! Now am worried. Am being restless!!!
Sejal too was confused and suddenly she hears a sound and turns around to find another note wrapped in a stone. She stood and proceeded to find what it is and was shocked to find …….
I hope you like it!!! Am working on further story and will post soon! I tried to give some different touch to the story! I Hope I didn’t disappoint anyone! Am open to suggestions on any part.
