Happy Diwali everyone.

Haldi.

Riddhima woke up feeling hyper energetic.

She changed into a comfortable kurti and went to have her breakfast.

As it was 6 am, she had her breakfast alone.

While eating, she got a call from Sejal.

Phone call.

Sejal: Hey Riddhu!!! How is my bride doing???

Riddhima: Not fine without you.

Sejal: I'm sorry, I couldn't make it.

Riddhima: It's ok. I understand.

Sejal: I must tell you something important.

Riddhima: Have you got a boyfriend???

Sejal: YEESSSSSS!!!! You've guessed it.

Riddhima: What's his name?

Sejal: Ankush, he's a lawyer. We met few weeks ago on Tinder and we are now dating.

Riddhima: Congratulations 🎊 !!!

Sejal: Thanks. Now show me your engagement ring.

Riddhima: Wait a sec.

She took a picture of her ring and sent it.

Sejal: It's so gorgeous 😍.

Riddhima: Afterall, who gave it to me.

I gave it to you.

A voice from behind said.

She turned around and saw Vansh standing there with his breakfast in his hands.

Sejal: So, I'll let you both enjoy 😉. Bye 😘.

Riddhima: Bye 🙂.

End of phone call.

Vansh: What were you talking about?

Riddhima: Nothing important.

They ate their breakfast while chit-chatting together ❤️.

At around 5 pm.

Riddhima's room.

Riddhima was applying nail polish when out of nowhere, the lights went off.

She was scared 😱.

Before she could shout for help, the lights came back and she noticed a letter on her bed.

The letter.

Vansh Raisinghania is a murderer and a mafia.
He trades in guns, gold and diamonds.
He also invests in illegal businesses.
Are you sure that you want to spend your life with him?

Your well wisher.

Riddhima's POV.

Who is sending me this letter?

I remember getting this kind of letters three years ago, concerning Vansh's past with Ragini.

I think, I should inform Vansh about it.

Maybe that person is trying to separate us.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Vansh in her room.

He quietly sneaked in and back hugged her, burying his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her fragrance.

Vansh: What were you thinking about?

Riddhima: Do you have any enemies?

Vansh: As a businessman, yes.

Riddhima: Then, do you think they would send me this?

She gave him the letter.

He read and instantly had a clue of the culprit.

Vansh: Do you want to know this person's identity?

Riddhima: Yeah.

He took her to his study.

Vansh's study room.

He switched on his laptop, entered the password for viewing the CCTV footage.

In the footage, a servant is seen going to her room, followed by Ishani, ten minutes later when the lights when off.

Riddhima: I don't remember that Ishani came to my room.

Vansh: I'm sorry that because of her childish act of switching off the lights, you've been scared.

Riddhima: It's ok. And promise me one thing.

Vansh: What?

Riddhima: You won't tell her that you're aware of what happened.

Vansh: Ok.

At night.

Everything was well-arranged in the hall to accommodate the expected guests.

Chanchal: Maa, shall call them?

Dadi: Yes. Angre, inform Vansh and Riddhima that they can come.

Angre: Yes Dadi.

Five minutes later.

Vansh and Riddhima made their entry same as yesterday.

Dadi made the arrangements such that they would be opposite each other.

The family along with the priest decided to do the ceremony and rituals simultaneously, to avoid bad omen in the couple's career.

Sia first applied haldi on Riddhima while Dadi applied it on Vansh.

Few minutes later, Vansh was feeling his skin burning like hell.

He hurriedly removed the haldi from his body using a white towel.

Dadi: What is happening, beta?

Vansh: This haldi is burning my skin. Does it contain 'kesar'?

Dadi: Not at all.

She was helping him wipe the excess haldi when she noticed red powder on the towel.

Chanchal: Ma, isn't it red chili powder?

Dadi: It seems like.

Vansh was still puzzled about the recent happening when he felt ice cubes soothing his pain.

It was Riddhima who was rubbing ice cubes on his arm.

Riddhima: Is it still paining?

Vansh: Not since you applied ice.

He noticed Ishani looking at them with an angry face.

Flashback.

After ensuring that no one was in the kitchen, Ishani sneaked inside and hurriedly mixed chili powder in one of the haldi's bowl.

Ishani's POV.

I'll make sure you receive this hot and special treatment Riddhima Bhabhi.

Flashback end.

On Dadi's insistence, Vansh went to take a bath so that they could continue the remaining ceremony.

At night.

As usual, Vansh came into Riddhima's room through the window.

They were in each other's arms searching some henna designs for tomorrow.

Precap: Preparations for the wedding.

I was going to write a chapter related to their mehendi but I didn't want it to be too long.
