They quickly left from the office telling the full story to Sahil and Aarav. They reached home and interrogated everyone.
Vansh: When did she leave? How did you know? Answer!! (worrying)
Sia: The guards came in and told us that Anupriya had handcuffed Raima and her state was bad. Bhai I’m afraid, what if she does anything to her?
Vansh: don’t worry Sia, I won’t let anything happen to her, I can’t lose her even if she isn’t Riddhima. She has her face; it gives me all my strength. I can’t let anything happen to her. (taking out his phone) I’m tracking her number right away. Angre call the cops right away, I’m no way going to spare Anupriya this time! (Angre did so)
Aryan let’s go and find her. We can track her. Sahil you can come with me while Bro and Angre go together. (towards Angre) keep us updated as soon as you track her, share the location immediately and take care of bro. He is not in his senses; he is going through the same pain again and don’t let him drive.
Vansh: No way Aryan! I’m going to drive and go myself; nothing is going to happen to her! (trying to console himself)
He approached his black Royal BMW in anger and sat on the driver’s seat; ready to go. Angre went to the car and took the co-drivers place. Vansh handed his phone to Angre for him to direct him. Aryan and Sahil forbidden Aarav to come as they didn’t want more of his uselessness and followed Vansh’s car. Angre continued to assist him with the directions. The location kept on fluctuating. Vansh hoped she wasn’t in any trouble.
Meanwhile Raima was with Anupriya in a car. She had handcuffed her hands. Raima was struggling to get free, her head bled by the cut given by Anupriya. Anupriya had started talking.
Anupriya: What did you think huh? I wouldn’t know you were Riddhima? I was having a threat from you before you faked your death as you had known I murdered Uma; Vansh’s mom. But now no more. You can’t do anything now! You will die for real! You dreamt big of blackmailing me, torturing me for what I did to your Vansh, for property and my doom. Too bad! All coming to you!
Riddhima: I would be glad, bring it on. It would be a tough war. I’m not that same Riddhima you think, I’m different. Do whatever you want, you couldn’t get the video I took of you and nor the papers. That was my main motive, which is done. Do whatever you want now.
Anupriya: Which papers are you talking about? You only showed me the video!
FLASHBACK
Anupriya drank the juice and got intoxicated losing her senses. Raima cleverly made her sign the property and bank papers and shot a video of her confessing all the truth. She then decided to confront her and splashed water on her for her to come to her senses. She showed here the video she shot. Anupriya was aghast! She tried to take the phone from her, but it was too late, she had sent it to everyone. There was no way she could have destroyed it. Before Anupriya came to her senses Raima had safely kept the papers in her locker. Anupriya and Raima were having a brawl when Anupriya took a vase and hit it on Raima’s head leaving her semi-conscious and handcuffed her, taking her out.
FLASHBAK ENDS
Anupriya: How dare you do this!! But if you won’t be alive then who will get it anyway! (she had a smirk on her face, and she brought her car to an isolated area near the cliff)
Riddhima: You don’t have any idea what you will face even if you try to scratch me, you will face your death while you’re breathing so let alone killing me.
Anupriya: Overconfidence is not nice my dear daughter-in-law. No one will know where you went, you chapter in our lives will be closed forever. Nor will Riddhima stay and nor will Raima.
Riddhima: Do what you want. I don’t give a damn! The rest of my gang will complete what they have to with you. Kill me! An open challenge to you!
Anupriya had enough of her and stopped the car near the cliff. She descended the car and went on to the other side to get Riddhima out. She pulled her out and pushed her in front, almost nearing to the edge of the cliff. By then Vansh, Angre, Aryan and Sahil arrived. Anupriya was startled. She abused herself for not taking Riddhima’s phone as they reached them by tracking her phone. Riddhima had a faint smile, deep down she knew it that her Vansh would save her. All the four got down and ran to the point where the two ladies were. Before they could come close, Anupriya held Riddhima at the point of her knife. She pressed it against her neck, giving her a cut and making it bleed. Riddhima winced in pain.
Vansh: Leave her! She hasn’t done anything to you!
Anupriya: oh really? You don’t know her reality! (she pressed the knife harder this time)
Riddhima: Ouchh! (she tried freeing herself)
Kabir: (he ran from the back) Leave her!! (Vansh was shocked seeing him there)
Vansh: Kabir why the heaven have you come here? To again take revenge! As expected, but right now I don’t have time for your nonsense.
Kabir: Vansh, listen to me. I’m here to save her and not to take revenge. I will tell you everything later but right now it’s important to save her from this devil.
Aryan: Bro he’s right. (trying to approach Riddhima and Angre from the other end)
Anupriya: Hold your horses right there Aryan and Angre. Don’t play smart with me! I will push her down! Kabir, you just called me a devil? I did all that for you sonny. (acting emotional)
Kabir: Wonderful act mom, but it’s not going to work anymore! You threw me away. Do you think I will come back to you again! No ways! I realised my mistakes and have been paying for them. Just leave Riddhima!!
Aryan: Yes, leave Bhabs right away! Don’t do anything.
Angre: Exactly Anupriya, leave Bhabhi. Each one of us knows the truth.
Vansh was astounded to know that Kabir was Anupriya’s son. He was more shocked when he called Raima Riddhima, and when Aryan and Angre called her Bhabhi. Which truth was Angre talking about? Not even the great VRS knew about. He looked around to see no one else shocked, did that mean that everyone present there knew about Anupriya and Kabir’s relationship as well as Raima being Riddhima! No one bothered to tell him.
Vansh: Kabir, you’re her son! Why did you call Raima Riddhima? Angre, Aryan and Sahil, what’s going on? Are you hiding something from me? Why are you calling her Bhabhi? She’s Raima not Riddhima.
Riddhima: (struggling to speak) Guys… w… we need to c… arry on wi…th our plan. Don’t worry ab..out me! (Anupriya held her near the edge of the cliff, almost pushing her.)
The four: No! we promised we wouldn’t let anything happen to you; we would protect you at any cost! WE aren’t going to leave you, let the plan fail.
Riddhima: No. Don’t do this. We did a lot to get here, we can’t give up just like that! Kabir, Angre Aryan and Sahil please.
Vansh: What plan? (still confused and worried about Raima) Why don’t I know anything about it! Answer me!
Riddhima: Vansh, I’m Riddhima and not Raima. These guys are saying the truth. It was all a plan to protect you! Anupriya had to suffer, I couldn’t have left you without taking revenge from her. But today I can. I have taken it! Now I know that you are in good hands (looking at all the four) I can die peacefully! I’m sorry Vansh I had to fake my death to protect my love. Even if I fall down this cliff, I wouldn’t regret knowing that my Vansh is safe. (she had tears in her eyes) I’m Sorry. I love you Vansh!
Vansh: You’re my Riddhima. (he felt like he was flying, he got his world and life back hearing her.) I knew it. But you didn’t do right, you acted all this time. Now look where it has brought you. (To Anupriya) if anything happens to her, I am going to kill you! I have lost her once, I wasn’t able to do anything but now I’m all ready. Riddhima we’ll talk about the other things later, (facing the four) you all too! I need all my answers.
Angre: Yes, bhai but for now we need to save her.
Riddhima: No Angre! I don’t think it’s possible. I must tell you a truth.
Anupriya: (who was a silent spectator all this time) Finally you agreed that you’re going to die. So, this was the gang you talked about and you threatened me with. Look at them now, they can’t do anything to protect you! Kabir you’re part of it too! No problem, it’s in the blood after all! Riddhima you can’t do anything about those papers and videos now!
All five of them: Which papers and Videos? (they stared at it each other, surprised not knowing about anything)
Aryan: Which video and papers is this snake talking about?
Angre: yea Bhabhi, there wasn’t nothing like that in our plan?
Kabir: Riddhima, be clear.
Vansh stayed mum.
Riddhima: I know this wasn’t in our plan, but I thought tit for tat. What she did to Vansh is what I did back to her. And about the video, she confessed every crime of hers, and sent the video to everyone. One truth that none of you know (indicating Aryan, Angre, Kabir and Sahil) leave alone Vansh. I’m sorry I never got a chance to tell you about this one truth before faking my death. If I would have told you all then you all would have been in danger!
Anupriya: Ya right! And now because of that truth she’s in danger. You know what I don’t care if you tell them the truth, its high time, I guess.
Angre: (trying to avoid Anupriya) Bhabhi stop beating around the bush. Which truth?
Vansh: Riddhima tell me which truth? (eyeing her to look at the stone beside her for her to attack Anupriya and to get rid of her clutches, Riddhima understood)
Riddhima: (bent slightly and picked up the stone) This truth is going to hurt everyone, specially Vansh. Uma mom was murdered by Anupriya! She wanted to take her position, so she blackmailed your father to marry her and declared Uma mom as vanished. Your father was murdered by her too!
Vansh: (he felt the ground slipping away from his feet) Mom was murdered! Dad was blackmailed to declare mom to be vanished. Dad was murdered too! No!!1 (he broke down on his knees and cried, for always blaming his parents for leaving him and his siblings) (he got fierce in anger and stood up)
How dare You! He approached her.
Anupriya: What will you do? Now your beloved wife is also with me! I can kill her instantly. (saying that she pushed Riddhima off the cliff.) There you go! (she screamed)
Vansh: Riddhima!!! (he ran towards the cliff; he felt the same pain again like he felt 6 months ago)
Angre and Aryan: Anupriya!! Bhabhi!! (they ran to Vansh)
Kabir: Mom!! I can’t believe this! (he went and caught hold of Anupriya before she could escape)
