Thank you everyone for your comments! Your comments are what motivates me to write further.
The episode starts with…
VR mansion:
Angre, Vansh and Aryan enter the house together and see Dadi, Chachi and Janvi laughing about something. Curious they ask what the matter is.
Dadi: Today sometime back the kids played a prank on Anupriya. We are just laughing thinking about that.
Angre: Kids? We only have one kid in the house Dadi.
Chachi: Maa is talking about Vansh’s kids so all three kids together created a ruckus and scared the day lights out of Anu di.
Janvi: I’ll explain what happened (She tells the whole incident and how both Kabir and Anupripya fell prey to the kids’ prank).
Chachi: Vansh your kids are hilarious I don’t remember when I last laughed so much.
Vansh: The kids are here?
Dadi: Yes, I asked Sejal and Riddhima to arrange for Ishani’s birthday party. Because there was no one at home to look after the kids, she brought them along.
Janvi: We don’t have a problem bhai I mean it is technically their house too.
They all leave from the living room. Everyone is in their room. Janvi and Aryan go to bed as they are both tired from work. While Dadi is reading Gita in her room. Chachi and Chachu are busy watching a movie and unwinding. Ishani is still at her friend’s house. Angre and Vansh are busy discussing business in the study. Meanwhile Sejal and Riddhima are busy with their work in the hall and the kids are playing with Sakshi in her room.
Just then Vansh and Angre come to the hall after finishing their work. Angre goes to his room while Vansh notices Riddhima there as he was about to go his room. Seeing her struggling with measurements of higher pillars he decides to help her.
Vansh: Need any help?
Riddhima: No, thanks I’ll manage.
Vansh (sarcastically): I can see you well you are managing.
Riddhima: Seriously Vansh you have to be sarcastic for everything.
Vansh: Well if you’ll stop being so difficult all the time then I’ll stop being sarcastic. Riddhima it’s fine to take others’ help sometime.
Riddhima: Fine. Can you please tell the measurements of these pillars so I can note it down?
Vansh: Sure.
They measured and discussed ideas for the party. For some time, they forgot all the bitterness and hatred they harboured for each other. In that moment it was two people enjoying each other’s company who were loving the exchange of ideas.
Riddhima gets up to go get her phone that was on the coffee table when she accidently stumbles upon the side of the sofa and trips. Luckily Vansh catches her in the nick of time and saves her from an accident. They share an eye lock. Their eyes portray many emotions, the love and care they both yearned for years was brimming through. They missed the touch of each other; the smell of each other’s perfume; the mere presence of each other. Though Riddhima had her kids she missed Vansh and his presence in her room, whereas Vansh missed her in their room, her belongings in their room and her memories still haunted him.
Just then the kids come running down the stairs and come tug on Riddhima. This breaks their flow of thoughts and brings them back to reality.
Shovan: Mom I want cake.
Shaina: Me too! I am hungry again we had dinner 2 hours ago.
Riddhima: Okay give me 2 mins we can pick something on our way home. I am almost done with my work.
Vansh: No need, we have cake in our fridge.
Riddhima: It’s fine we can pick something.
Vansh: Riddhima stop being so stubborn you are more difficult to explain than these kids.
To this the kids laughed and Riddhima gave Vansh an adorably angry look while Vansh cheekily smirks at her. They all go sit around the dining table and enjoy their desserts. All this was witnessed by Dadi who had come out to get water for her room. The smile on her face said many things. She was happy to finally see her Vansh with his family and genuinely happy in their company. She also felt at peace that her family is finally getting complete where 3 of her grandchildren were proud parents and settled in life. She was also hopeful that her Siya will recover soon as she knew Riddhima was a competent doctor. She leaves from there not wanting to interrupt this beautiful moment.
Next morning at Sameer’s house:
Everyone is gathered in Sameer’s room to discuss what they need to do next to stop Kabir and Anupriya from succeeding in their plan. Riddhima had told everyone what her PI had told her. Janvi tells how she overheard Kabir yesterday saying that Ishani’s birthday will bring destruction for the Raisinghanias.
Riddhima: From all the information we have gathered we know for sure that this party will bring some major drama.
Sejal: It’s good that me and Riddhima are planning this party this way we can be sure no one messes with the arrangements. This was one of the main reasons I agreed to plan when Dadi asked me.
Pragati: True since you two are organising it we can be assured all the vendors and arrangements are trustworthy.
Shivam: Me and Pragati followed Kabir he was going to a deserted place but sadly we couldn’t get inside he locked the door so we couldn’t hear what he is planning.
Riddhima: Don’t worry PI will look into what he is planning.
Sameer: I saw Kabir coming out of the lawyer’s chambers, but I don’t know what he works he had.
Aryan: don’t worry Sameer the lawyer is our family lawyer I asked him why Kabir had come. He said he wanted to make a legal declaration where Vansh bhai is transferring everything on Kabir’s name.
Everyone at the same time: WHAT! I CAN’T BELIEVE MY EARS.
Aryan: I know me neither if we didn’t have this meeting, I would have called one to tell you guys about this anyways. This means he is planning to make bhai sign the papers on Ishani’s birthday. But how I mean bhai is not that stupid to just sign any paper.
Riddhima: This means he will either trick Vansh or force him to sign. I have a doubt that he is going to force Vansh given he hired goons to help him in his plan.
Sameer: We have to be extra careful. We will have to keep tab of every guest that enters VR mansion during the party.
Vansh: Extra careful? But why?
They all look towards the voice and see Vansh standing in confusion at the door. He had only heard the last line that Sameer had said.
Sameer (sensing that Vansh hasn’t heard anything): I mean you know the connections you have with underworld it’s better to be safe than sorry. So, I was telling Sejal and Riddhima to make sure the security is tight.
Vansh: Don’t worry I have already tightened the security of VR mansion. So, no need to be extra careful, I’ll take care of it. By the way I had come to give this file to you since Shivin uncle has already left for office.
Sameer takes the file and thanks Vansh for it Everyone also leave and decide to keep each other in the loop by calling or texting.
At the deserted place:
Kabir enters a warehouse and meets his men and discusses what needs to be done on the day of the party.
Kabir: You guys will come from the back door and settle yourself around and mingle around so that no gets suspicious of you.
Man 1: Sir what if someone notices that we are not the guests.
Kabir: No one will care just stay away from the family members as they will recognise their guests.
Man 2: Boss what if someone sees our guns?
Kabir: Hide your guns in your socks this way no one will see them.
Man 3: Sir Vansh Raisinghania is a very dangerous man. How will we be able to fight against his security. He has highly trained security guards.
Kabir: Shut up! I have not given a gun to admire it’s there for you to use it. If Vansh’s apparently highly trained guard approaches you then shoot him damm it!
Kabir leaves from there followed by his men. Unaware that two pairs eyes and ears had been sneaking into his planning. Aryan and Shashi who were following Kabir had reached the warehouse and were spying on him.
In a flashback:
At VR Mansion:
Aryan had come back from Sameer’s house and he heard Kabir telling Anupriya that he will be going out soon. Knowing that he is planning something big Aryan purposely bumps into Kabir and slyly slips a tiny mic in his pocket that is hardly noticeable by anyone.
Flashback ends.
He followed Kabir to the warehouse and waited outside to listen to his planning. While waiting Aryan notices Shashi and realises he is the PI Riddhima was talking about. They both listened into Kabir’s planning and Shashi also reveals that he got hold of one Kabir’s man and had bought him. That man will work for them but act as being on Kabir’s side.
VR Mansion inside Anurpriya’s room:
Anupriya (talking to herself): I heard that that Siya is recovering. I need to nip this Siya matter in the bud before it gets out of my hands. I will inject chemical in her which will make her condition worse. If she wakes up, then she will reveal my truth which I can’t afford after coming so close to our success.
Janvi who was listening to this decides to stop her at any cost. She decides to stay at the hospital the whole day to avoid missing her.
Next morning Riddhima’s house:
Riddhima: Shovan and Shaina hurry up we will be late.
Shovan: Yes, mom coming.
Shaina (who was already at the table was making faces looking at the paratha in front of her): Mom! I want Pizza, I don’t like this.
Riddhima: Well madam you don’t have choice just eat. And anyways who eats Pizza for breakfast?
Shovan (now at the table): We do mom! We love Pizza we can eat it for all three meals.
Vansh: Me too!
They all look at the door and see Vansh standing there with files in his hand.
Riddhima: What are you doing here?
Vansh: I came to discuss Ishani’s birthday cake. Since we can’t do it in VR mansion Ishani is there and I wasn’t sure if could get hold of you at the hospital so thought its best to come to your house. Sorry for coming so early in the morning.
Riddhima: No worries we can see the samples here. Kids finish your breakfast.
Shaina: Vansh uncle have you had breakfast yet?
Vansh: No but I’ll have it later.
Shiana: Mummy you say that guests are like god and you are keeping our god hungry.
Shovan (ordering): Mom give him some breakfast as well.
Riddhima: Oh god! You both stop bossing me around, fine I’ll get another plate, relax guys.
Vansh who had been listening was laughing at his kids while Riddhima eyed him and silently aksed him to stop enjoying her plight.
Vansh: Well Dr Riddhima the kids have certainly taken after their father when it comes to bossing people.
Riddhima: Just shut up Vansh, only my kids can boss me around so don’t get any ideas okay. And as far as taking after you is concerned, they are your biological kids so there is not much I can do about it, now can I?
Precap: Shashi finds the whole truth; he rushes to tell Riddhima. Kabir sees Shashi listening to his conversation and tries to stop him. Vansh meets with the lawyer in regard to some business legal issues. Janvi and Anupriya are both at the hospital. Ishani’s birthday celebrations start.
This is it for today guys! Hope you like it. As some of you guessed it right Vansh didn’t learn the truth. Since I want a guilt track to come in the future its better if he learns the truth later.
Questions to keep you guys up:
Will Shashi reach Riddhima?
Will Kabir catch Shashi and his about his identity?
Will Janvi be able to save Siya?
Will Vansh learn about the legal declaration from the lawyer?
