Thank you everyone for your comments! I really appreciate them.
Author’s note: When you love someone, you can’t help but feel for them no matter what they have done to you in the past. In the case of RIANSH just because they feel betrayed doesn’t mean they don’t care each other. That’s why in Vansh’s case he still feels bad for Riddhima when someone hurts her and in Riddhima’s case she keeps saying she loves him but also can’t let him into her life.
I hope this explains why they still try to help and comfort each other. (that’s my POV as a writer).
Episode starts with…
At the hall (Khuranna residence):
Preeti: Sejal and Sameer please take your seats the ring ceremony is about to start.
They exchange rings. Everyone claps and wishes them well for their future. During the entire ceremony Vansh kept stealing glances at Riddhima. Curious to know what happened between her and Kabir. Then he looks at Vishal and feels a sudden rush of jealously. He knows Riddhima and him don’t share a relationship anymore, but she is the love of his life so seeing her with someone else hurts him. After the ceremony everyone was eating dinner while Ridddhima was the only one who was busy doing the work so didn’t eat.
At the poolside:
Riddhima is checking the gifts and tidying up the decorations when Vishal comes there.
Vishal: Hey there!
Riddhima: Oh, hi what are you doing here?
Vishal: I saw that you were the only one not eating so I thought I’ll bring food for you also, I thought I can have dinner with someone I know. You know I don’t anyone expect Sameer and since he is the groom, I don’t think I can ask for his time today (laughingly).
Riddhima: okay! Just give a second I need to finish tidying up this.
Vishal: Okay fine I’ll set up a table for us while you this.
They have dinner together and talk. Meanwhile everyone is inside the house. Dadi and Ishani chat with Shovan and Shaina.
Dadi: Ishani, they have so many similarities to Vansh.
Ishani: I know dadi same attitude, same likes and dislikes.
Dadi: I feel like I am talking to junior version of Vansh (smiles)
Back at the poolside:
Riddhima: So, who else in your family? I mean I don’t anything about you.
Vishal: I have mother, and elder sister. My dad passed away so after his demise I had to take over our business as my mother was very broken to even take care of herself forget the business.
Riddhima (sad listening to him – holds his hand): I can’t say I understand because I am an orphan, but I do know the value of parents.
Vishal: I have girlfriend too but don’t know how to propose to her?
Riddhima (jokingly): oh ho, girlfriend and all huh. Well I don’t know what to tell you I mean if you love her you will find a way to propose and be with her.
Just then Shovan and Shaina come to Riddhima.
Shovan: Mom, see I accidently dropped juice on me.
Shaina: Mom I am tired I want to go home!
Riddhima (while cleaning Shovan with her glass of water): Baby give me half an hour we’ll go soon. Have you guys had dinner yet?
Shovan: Yes, mumma Pragati didi fed us.
Riddhima: Okay, good. By the way let Pragati know that we will leave in half an hour so ask her to get ready to leave.
Kids: Okay mumma (they go away from there).
Vishal (surprised that Riddhima is a mother): I didn’t know you were married and had kids.
Riddhima: I have kids, yes, married, no.
Vishal: What? I don’t get it
Riddhima: I am a single mother, separated.
Vishal: Oh, I see. I am sorry to hear that.
Riddhima: Don’t bother it’s been many years I am used it now. Well we should be talking about your love life. Have you thought about a way to tell that someone special?
Vishal: No, I don’t how to. Honestly cracking a business deal is easier than this.
Riddhima (laughingly): Well love is harder than you think.
They both are having a good time enjoying each other’s company and getting to know each other.
Vishal: Hey, it’s good to have found you. I feel like I can share anything you. I really needed a good friend.
Riddhima smiles at his remark. Vansh comes to the poolside to attend a work call and sees Riddhima and Vishal having dinner together. Seeing them together Vansh felt like snapping Vishal into half. Just the idea of Riddhima being near somebody else made him burn. The glass that he was holding broke into a million pieces just like his heart is right now. He was angrier on himself that he still lets her affect him to this extent.
Vishal and Riddhima finish their dinner. Vishal leaves from there while Riddhima stays back to finish her remaining work. Vansh decided to confront her about Vishal and also ask about Kabir.
Vansh: Done with your dinner date?
Riddhima (turns around following the voice): You? And why do you think I will answer you?
Vansh (holds her by her arms): Don’t act sassy with me and just answer my questions understand. What was Kabir saying to you? Did he hurt you? Just tell me. And who the hell is this Vishal. Why is he always lingering around you?
Riddhima: I don’t think you have the right ask me anything but still I’ll answer you if this will get you off my case. As far as is Kabir is concerned he got what he deserved. Don’t worry I am not hurt I know how to deal with that Kabir. And about Vishal, I don’t think I will justify my relationship with him. You don’t deserve to know anything about my life (saying so she detaches herself from Vansh’s hold and turns to leave)
Riddhima slips by the water splashed around the pool and falls into Vansh’s arms. They share an eyelock, all their pleasant memories from the past flash in front of their eyes. Recalling all the romantic moments shared. Riddhima’s phone rings and it breaks their trance. She moves away from him to take her call while he composes himself and leaves from there.
Shovan and Shaina come back to Riddhima to let her know that they have told Pragati about leaving and also that Sejal will be dropped off by Sameer later. At the same moment Vansh comes back to take his phone that he forgot.
Shovan: Mumma we have told Pragati didi to get ready.
Shaina: Mumma can we leave now please.
Riddhima: Yes, beta lets go.
Vansh who was listening to their conversation was shocked to learn that Riddhima is the mother of Shovan and Shaina.
Vansh (thinks): Riddhima is a mother. Who is the father? Did she get married again? Or are they my kids? So many questions and I don’t have answer to not even one of them. Only one person can answer me and that is Riddhima. She needs to answer me no matter what. If they are my kids, then Riddhima will have to give me my kids back.
Same night at VR mansion:
Kabir’s room:
Anupriya: Kabir what is the plan? How will we get the property and power back. First, we thought maybe after Vansh died we could take over but that Vansh raised from the death and ruined our plan.
Kabir: I know mom but now it’s not time for small games. This time we have to do a big dhamaka. One move and everyone gone! Wait for the right time mom and trust me we will leave no one in the VR mansion to come in our way.
Anupriya: Okay! But what do you want me to do?
Kabir: Just keep faking your love drama with the family and make sure that Siya doesn’t wake up. The rest I’ll take care of.
Anupriya: Okay! (hugs him and goes to her room)
Kabir (thinks): This time I will do something so big that Vansh would have never even thought of in his wildest dreams.
Next afternoon at a café:
Kabir and Anupriya come to meet Mishra. Whereas Riddhima also comes to the same café with her kids. It’s a Sunday so no school. Riddhima and kids decided to have a fun day together with shopping, movie and dinner. They decided to have brunch before shopping and movie.
Kabir: I want to kill everyone.
Mishra: Okay sir but it’s very risky and we need more people to execute this.
Anupirya: Then hire more people. And about the money I can manipulate Vansh into giving me money.
Kabir: Super! Mom get the money and Mishra follow the plan and we will execute in on the right time.
Anupriya: Kabir I am waiting for you in the car you come after paying the bill.
Kabir: Okay mom
As Kabir approaches a waiter to pay the bill, he notices Riddhima with two kids sitting at a table.
Kabir (thinks): what is Riddima doing with these two kids? Whose kids, are they? Is Riddhima the mother? I have to find out. (he walks out of the café).
Precap: Vansh confronts Riddhima about the kids. The kids, Vansh and Riddhima watch the movie together. Vansh gets to know that Riddhima is the new boss of the hospital and also Siya’s doctor. Janvi learns that Riddhima is Vansh’s wife. The kids come to VR mansion and annoy Kabir.
That is, it for today guys!! Hope you guys like it. SURPRISE! If you thought, there would be a love triangle between Vishal, Vansh and Riddhima. Sorry to disappoint you guys HAHA. I just want Vishal to be a friend – but Vansh doesn’t have to know about Vishal’s girlfriend just yet (wink wink).
