Riddhima giggled seeing both Ranvi and Aliya looking kinda embarrassed...uh...wonder what's so embarrassing about that day??

"Uh-okay-" she started

"Babu please I'm your favourite brother na,....I would get you anything please don't!" Ranvi literally pleaded

"Now I need to know the hot gossip Riddzz...tell me tell me!!" Bani clapped excitedly...

"Arre..chup no nuisance now!!" Riddhima sternly said...and everyone became quiet

"So yeah that day...I went to Angad bhai's room....and showed him the reports...he was happy and we wanted to tell about that -"

"Why didn't you tell me first?? " Ranvi yelled....yeh ladka bhi naa...abhi yeh important hai kya...I shook my head

"Ranvi bhai..interrupt mat karo na!!" She said , "and then we eventually made it to Ranvi bhai's room and opened it-"

"Ha babu...do you know....knock bhi kiya jaata hai... room khol ne se pehle!" Ranvi said

"Haww....Ranvi bhai I thought..you won't change after getting engaged...but you did....you once said...your room is like mine ...and you could enter at anytime...!" She stated tears rolling down her cheeks...which made me glare at Ranvi....

"Sorry babu...I didn't mean that-"

"Even I was kidding....I should have knocked the door.... atleast I and Angad bhai... wouldn't have been traumatized for the rest of our lives..."Riddhima finished wiping away the tears dramatically....yeh ladki abhi bhi dramebaaz hai.......while everyone's brows furrowed in confusion

"What trauma Riddz!?" Ishu baby asked

"Come on bhabhi....it's traumatizing when you witness your brother going all down and dirty with his  fiancée" Angad blurted out....it was moment of complete silence...until all of us bursted into fits of laughter...

"It's true! Seems like Both can't keep their hands off of eachother!" Aryan Wheezed out

"I do agree!" Ishani laughed
"Bhabhi aap bhi kya!?" Ranvi whined.... Now he's definitely not in the 'Arrogant businessman' role...

"Oh okay..now story must go on....Ranvi stopped thankfully....but sir forgot to wipe off the evidence!" Angad said

"Evidence what evidence!?" Veeranshu asked

"Obviously... Lipstick smeared all over his face!"shona said

"Hey neck too!!" Angad added

"Teri toh!" Ranvi gritted out

"Seems like it's not the first time he forgot to wipe off the evidence!" Vansh mumbled but all of us heard

"Oh yeah! That reminds how I walked in on them that day!" Ishani blurted out...I face palmed myself...both are already embarrassed...abhi isko aur karwani hai...

"Woah...when did that happen bhabhi!" Angad asked Ishani...with a little too much enthusiasm

"Arre woh treasure hunt k din!" Ishani replied

"Ohh isiliye nahi win kiyaa kyaa!!!But still it was a win-win deal for Jeeju" Rhea teased

"Okay..back to story!!....so after all these lipstick atrocities....we finally sat down ...and that same day Riddz and I told Ranvi about you and discussed everything about the DNA test....!" Angad said

"And I really wanted to come to VR mansion and take you back home....that day itself....!" Ranveer said...I felt really nice....how they all still love me...even after these many years of separation

"But I said stop...and drop hints so that you... yourself would confess the truth...as we don't know why you didn't tell us anything...there possibly was a reason...so I stopped the siblings from doing anything....But as you know ...The Sehgals are pretty impatient...And couldn't wait any longer and devised this plan after our tour was decided...." Aliya finished

"I paid our trusted guards...to disguise as goons and recreate the scene.."Riddhima said

"Scene what scene...and recreation?'' Vansh asked

"Well this a rough representation of what happened in Babu's 7th birthday party....just like Aliya and babu descended the stairs...back then my mom helped Babu get dressed and descended the stairs with her...when we were all held back-" Ranvi said as his voice broke.... seeing him struggling to tell further

"Same way...I was held at gun point....and when he shot the bullet back then...Ritu ma...I mean Ranvi bhai and Angad bhai's mom saved me by taking that bullet...." Shona started sobbing while Angad had tears streaming down his cheeks...I went to them wiping it all off...and sat between them....both of them leaned on my shoulder while Aliya was calming Ranvi down and Ishani offered some water to him as his breathing was bit labored....I smiled letting both of them know I was thankful...It was indeed a one of the most traumatizing incidents not just for me but for all of us... especially for Ranvi and chote it left a void in their lives....they lost their mother Right infront of their eyes...that's the most cruel thing happening to anyone....I'm telling it out of a personal experience...I have witnessed my mom getting beaten brutally by some goons ...when I could just stand there and watch...I was helpless and I had a responsibility of handling and safeguarding my sister......I had to cower away and run...I wouldn't be able forget it forever...

I didn't realise I cried until a hand tenderly wiped them off of my cheeks....I smiled down at the person...my Shona....The little baby that I used to cuddle all the time....oh how have I missed her this whole time....How have carved to tell her she is my sister...my little kid... honestly she's not just my sister....she's my first baby... she'll always be...no matter how much she grew up....she's a businesswoman, a self established and one of the highest paid models internationally...but still here for me she's my baby...that I have always sworn to protect.. seeing none of them was in a mood to talk further

"My father told me that when he says go...I need to run away with my sister....so I did just as he instructed...I slipped off from the goon's hold and yanked shona with myself and ran to safety....few hours later...my father and chote papa...came searching for us..and we went back home...and the news of Ritu ma passing away...and rest is history" I finished

And saw all of them looking at us with sad expression...and that's when I realised....Shona was full on sobbing....Ranvi panicked and came near her and crouched....

"Babu!? Kya hua baccha?? " He asked her keeping his hand on her and squeezed it to give her assurance while I kept massaging her head in a bid to calm her cries.... honestly it always breaks my heart to see her cry

"Ranvi bhai I- so sorry..." She sobbed..her eyes turning red and puffy...

"Shona kyu sorry!?" I asked calmly

"It was I...it was because me Ritu ma ko aisa-"

"I dare you to finish that sentence Riddz!" Angad said loudly making her cower back

"Angad!! What the hell!?" Ranvi yelled

"Ranvi...she's wrong if she thinks she is the reason for mom's death...when we know it's not!" Angad argued

"Both of you shut up!!" I yelled making them stop

"Babu! Bacche...kitni baar samjhaya hai...tumne kuch bhi nahi kiya...infact we are happy...that our mom was a hero....she saved a little angel....and that should make you feel proud...not cry out of guilt!" He sternly advised...which is true....Ritu ma is seriously a guardian angel for both of us...she took care of us as her own...when our mom couldn't...she took up the role of being our mom when my mother wasn't in a state to take that role....she did all that out of selflessness and love that she had for us...and I will be always grateful for her....and protect and care for her kids....I know all 3 of my siblings have grown up without me...but still I would always look out for them everytime they seem to be in trouble...it's my promise to Ritu ma and my mother

"And guys now enough of interrogation.... everyone should retire to bed...I don't know about you...but my sister-in- law here is in dire need of rest and her husband...so yeah Aditya go with Ishani fast...before I push your ass Outta this room!" Aliya sternly said...I gulped looking at Ranvi silently asking if she would actually do that....he nodded confirming my doubt...so I did what any prude man would do to avoid trouble....I ran out of the place with Ishani...but not before advising all of my siblings not to bicker about anything and wished goodnight to everyone

We reached our room and I gave Ishu baby some pyjamas to change into....which she did and came and sat on the bed

"Today was a very long day na??" She asked....I knew she wanted to know something...she always starts with small talks if she wanted to know Someone's opinion on something...

"What do you wanna know Ishu baby?? Ask me?" I told her

"How do you feel about this whole...Found my 'long lost sister' thing?" Ishani asked

You guys might feel wierd but...she is really genuine... because 2 years ago when I revealed about my raport with my family...it was bad...I broke down crying that day...so her being concerned about it is valid...I really never felt facing the Sehgal family again....or reuniting or going back to them for obvious reasons...*cough* my father*cough*...even She knew that....but never knew any of their names...so that's the only thing that surprised her...

" I'm not gonna lie I was surprised....that they found out so Early and came to me with enough proofs... Giving me no space to make up a lie or to run away...but then I really underestimated my siblings... they're really smart" I expressed

"Were you really gonna run??" Ishani asked wiggling her eyebrows....Here we go again ...this woman is really smart....she knows the answer...yet wants to get it Outta my mouth.... Argghh

"As if you don't know??" I grumbled annoyed that she always gets my thoughts....

"I know you weren't going to run....but why though?? Years ago you ran....why not now??" She asked with utmost seriousness....I knew I had explanations to give...but I don't want her to get involved in this shit....Sorry Ishu baby...

"Not now my love...when Times Are Right I will tell you!" I told her but I knew it wouldn't be Anytime soon
