R: Patidev, if I didn’t know better, I would have thought that you are trying to scare me. Very nice try, but sorry Mr, My husband loves me so much, and he can’t live without us.
V: Us?
R(covering the matter): Me and his family, Am I right or Am I right?

The world darkened around him at that moment, and He understood that he lost everything.
2 years passed
Kabir entered the mansion angrily only to meet dadi who looked concerned at him.
D: What happened Kabir? Why are you so angry?
K: Someone is chasing My business, For the last month, I faced many losses, KR company will be bankrupt if I don’t have a solution soon.
(Kabir took advantage of Vansh’s condition and took one of his companies using dadi. and he named it “KR”)
D: who is he? and What does he want from you?
K(acting innocent): I wish I knew dadi, I don’t have enemies because I have never harmed anyone.
V: I doubt it, Kabir. Except your enemies, You have no relationships.
Ah: Mind your tongue, Vansh, You are talking with my husband, now.
V: And you are worse than him.
Ah: WHat about you? You are worse than us, Who plotted to kill his own wife? and not only his wife but also his child.
K: Exactly, You can say whatever you want, but the truth is that you are a real demon. Far worse than the devil himself.
S(angrily): Don’t talk about Vansh Bhai, You are still here due to dadi. So please, Be within your limits.
D: what they are saying is true, Sia! They are not accusing him of something which he hasn’t done, Riddhima’s death is due to him only.
S(shocked): Dadi, but he
D: I don’t want any discussion or argument over this matter, He is not my grandson! I have already cleared it before in front of you all. This man is responsible for his wife and his child’s death, and I will not forgive him ever.
Vansh departed the place to his room while Sia eyed his retreating figure sadly.
S: dadi, You know that he is suffering since the time the truth came in front of him. I don’t really know dadi why you kept this Kabir here after all what he has done.
D(in rage)Vansh did everything, not Kabir, Vansh was the one who brought Ahaana and she felt guilty after Riddhima’s s death.

Vansh went to the hospital praying that they are wrong and she is not dead as they claimed or else he will never forgive himself.
V(to himself): Please, Bappa, I have always been an atheist, but the few times I prayed, it was for my Riddhima, Please give me the last chance and bring her back to me, This time, I promise not to hurt her.
They lead him to the room and he felt his heartbeats raised with every step he took. The door was opened for him and they uncovered the corpse and what he saw was horrible that he was about to fell on the floor!
V(crying and hugging her) : Noo!! you can’t go, Tum mujhe chhod kar nahi jaa sakti ! tumhe mujhe sazaa deni thi ! tumhe mujhse nafrat kaarni thi ! Now, How will I live without you both? Tumne sirf apne apko nahi mujhe bhi mardiya ! ! I lied I am f***liar. I wanted you, I have always wanted you! Please come back to me !
They looked at him with pity then Angrey held him taking him out of the room.
His family was with him but actually, most of them were either against him or mocking his misery after playing a foolish game that took her life. The life of the girl who loved him the most even more than her own life. Sia & Ishaangre were the only people who felt bad for his bad fate that snatched his everything within minutes.
He was holding her Mangalsutra and his ring in his hand with tears while her last rites were been performed by his dadi as she didn’t find him worthy of doing it himself.
People gossiped around him and he was able to hear what they were saying clearly.
Wom1: Bechaare, She was so young to die, Who knows what her husband did that she killed herself?
Wom2: Those wealthy people can do anything and cover it up perfectly, I have even heard that she was attacked. (whispering) They say he was her husband.
I(angrily): Enough !!! This is why you came here! just to add fuel to the fire? If it is that way, Then Thank you very much, Your presence is not needed here.
Wom3: Ajeeb log hai, they want to do everything, and refused to hear someone pointing a finger at them ! Wow, (to ishaani) Listen, the whole city knows that your brother is behind his wife’s death! even the media knows, look behind the gate you’ll understand what I am saying.
Ishaan looked in the direction where the woman showed her and opened her mouth in shock while Kahaana smirked together.
Author’s pov
Ishaani walked to the gate shocked and then they started showering her with the questions.
Rep1: Is it real that Mr.Raisinghania killed his wife?
Rep2: We heard that she has been attacked several times, was Mr.Raisinghania behind it?
Rep3:Mrs.Ishaani please answer us!
Ang: Get out of here or else we’ll call the police, you have no rights to interfere in our family matters. Every house has its own problems, who’re you to judge? Please just go; (to ishaani) Come with me, it’s not good for you to be stressed.
She nodded and followed him quietly after making sure that the reporters went.
Since the day she died he suffered insomnia, he can’t sleep because he heard her voice whenever he closed his eyes. Her last words echoed always and his harsh words never leave him.
“how low you’ll step I know it that day in the resort.”
He cried when he recalled how hurt she was, How she was rubbing her body to remove his touch.
V: I want to die but I deserve to live and regret every day what I did. (caressing her ring) You must have felt far worse than what I feel now. I broke not only you but also myself with you.
The ring fell and he bent to lift it then he noticed a letter on the floor, he opened it and got another jolt. It was the letter she assumed he got on the resort day.
V(shouts): Noooo I can’t be this dumb !! Why didn’t I understand you? why I was so stupid? You sacrificed everything for me and I Called you names !!! I don’t deserve to live! Mein Rakshas ho!
He broke everything in the room, except the things which belonged to her, he hugged everything near his heart.
His life never returns back to normal, every day he was crying for her, Craving her presence but unfortunately can’t even repent what he did.
There was much news about him murdering his wife by plotting with another woman. While Ahaana and Kabir were giving wrong information to the media behind his back. Her death broke him that he wasn’t interested in fighting back anyone.
Few months later
Angrey came to the house with tears were falling non-stop, and Ishaani panicked when she found him looking so pale.
I: Angrey, kya hua? why are you crying?
Ang: Today, They called me from the hospital, My uncle was on the death bed. He confessed that he got rid of my sister and put her in an orphanage,(with tears) Do you know which one?
I(in disbelief): No, don’t tell me she is
Ang(sobbing): Riddhima !! She was my real sister, (to Vansh who was stunned) Now, Even I can’t forgive you, whenever I will see you, I will see my sister’s killer in front of me. (to Ishaani) And you? you gave her so much pain and bully her, Even forgiving you will be a hard task. You played her because she didn’t have anyone, And I was stupidly following your orders and hurt my sister. (with red eyes) Now Angrey is not Vansh’s friend anymore.
I: Vansh?
Ang: Haa VAnsh raisinghania, My upbringing won”t allow me to hurt you, Ishaani, just for the sake of sick revenge. Especially that I was a part of it against her. However, the bitterness here(pointing toward his heart) will remain forever.
I(in tears): Angrey, Please, Bhai didn’t kno
V: Ishaani, He is right! I deserve it, He lost his sister because of me, Another crime is added to the list. But Please, Don’t include Ishaani in this matter.
Ang(with hatred): Why? Do you feel pain just by thinking that I may hurt her in the future? So think, How much pain inside me now!
Unable to look at his face anymore, Angrey left to his room while kahaana hi-fi each other.
K: Wow, Things went far better than what I expected. I didn’t know that Angrey will be Riddhima’s brother.
Ah: Yes, Now, Even he is without his right hand. Tch tch tch, He is being pitiful, ufff I feel bad for him.
K(holding her by waist): So wicked, Mrs.Raisinghania! The more he will be drowned in his lost love’s memories. and we’ll have a golden chance to take over everything. You and me!
Ah(smirking): Of course, My love, Everything will be ours.
K: we played the game very well, first you made him assume that you are on his side and fooling me when you were actually on my side. After meeting you, I gave you the offer which you couldn’t refuse and you agreed. Of course, after that, we fell in love and got married. However, Playing with Vansh, and making him assume that Riddhima attacked Sia was a masterstroke, and he ended up hurting her, I knew that the simple poor orphan Riddhima won’t be able to bear another shock. So emotional fool she was, So she died and we win.
Ah: And the game will always be won by us and only us.
Someone was keeping an eye on them and heard what they said.

On each Monday, Dadi was going to Mandir to pray for Riddhima’s soul and donates to the poor people. She didn’t take anyone with her because she believed that nobody really respected her when she is alive, So praying for her is not something they should do when she died.
Reaching the place, dadi opened her arms widely for the two babies to come and hugged her.
A boy and a girl: Granny !!
D: my cuties (kissing them both) look what your dadi brought for you (taking the Chocolat boxes giving each one a box)
Voice: dadi !!! no !! you are pampering them so much, They can’t eat it!
D(grinned): Riddhima, I am seeing them just once a week, and I want to give them everything even I thought about bringing the whole shop if only I didn’t know that you’ll be super anxious.
R(hugging her): Dadi, Thank you for loving us. If it wasn’t for you, Maybe I wouldn’t have survived that day. I am really thankful.
D: Don’t say thanks, I have always believed that you are my granddaughter, and when I witnessed what he did and said to you. My faith in him broke.
R: Dadi, PLease, Not this topic I hate it and you know it. I was hospitalized for months till I was about to give birth to the babies. You took care of me you and him.
D: I don’t want to remind you of the past, but are you sure you don’t want to meet him too?
R: Angrey bhai? No, He is his friend, They spent their whole life together, And I don’t want him to know about me. He better stay away from my life and my babies because I hate him to the peaks.
Voice: Do you hate me too?
They looked toward the entrance where Angrey was standing looking at them with tears, she couldn’t hold the urge to hug her brother.
R(ran and hugged him): I don’t, How can I? I know what you did for me,Still, I couldn’t come to you. I am sorry Bhai, I really am.
Ang(caressing her hair): No, It’s me who is sorry, I followed what he asked me to do blindly, It made me feel disgusted with myself every day. I felt miserable for my sister’s bad luck, She got the worse husband and brother in the world.
R(cried): No, YOu are not the worse brother, but he is. (her expressions turned blank)And please don’t mention him again in front of me. Come, don’t want you to see Your nephew and niece?
Angrey eyed the two little babies who were running and playing. They hated to admit it but they took after Vansh.
R: This Aarush (pointing toward the boy )and she is Amaya.
Ang(happy): They are so adorable, come to me, Babies!
Amaya tried to move but Aarush held her as if protecting her although they are so small to know what does “protection” means! Angrey looked surprised at the boy and then smiled unwantedly knowing from where he inherited this quality.
R(knowing her babies well): Babies, come and give uncle a hug.
Obeying his mother he moved to Angrey and hugged him then Amaya joined them.
D: angrey, today,Kabir said that he is been haunted by someone.
Angrey smirked and Riddhima doubted the meaning of the look on his face.
R: Bhai, are you behind it?
Ang(with hatred): Of course, I am, He doesn’t know that I know what he did.

He was Angrey who overheard everything between them and swore to destroy them.

Ang: and soon, you’ll receive a big surprise. (winked) Now, let me play with these two.
VOICE: Oh games without me? Not fair!
Kids: Papaaaa
Voice: Come, I brought for you, new games, Doll for my doll, And a red car for my champ.
R(hit her forehead): Anoop, They have plenty, even I don’t have a place where to put it.
Anoop Sharma a doctor, and a good friend of Riddhima, Loves the twins so much and they call him papa.
Ano: They are my kids, so I will bring the world for them but it won’t fit here.
R(glared at him): So lame joke.
Ano: Still I can’t see you fighting the urge to smile.
Ang: who is he?
Dadi, Riddhima, and Anoop shifted their gaze to him and then smiled.
An: I am Anoop Sharma, Riddhima’s friend.
D(explaining): He has a big role in rescuing her, He was her doctor.
Ang(thankful): Really? I am so grateful to you for what you did.
Ano(excited): No, don’t be, I did it for my happiness, Look at what I got in return, Two adorable kids calling me Papa.
Angrey looked at him attentively then exclaimed: YOUU !! How did I fail to notice that you are the same doctor with whom I investigated?
Ano(smiled): It’s ok, it happens sometimes, it has been years now. So it’s totally expected!
Ang: You knew Riddhima before?
Ano: Not closely, The director of the orphanage is my uncle, I saw her there many times, spoke a few times together. It was the first time when she contacted me to ask for a favor for Sia’s treatment. my doctoral-thesis was about patients who are suffering from the same condition as her, luckily Riddhima remembered this information and sought help.
