All were shocked to see Mahima there they didn't knew what was going on , everything was dropped on them at once . Ridhi was fuming in rage , her brothers were dragged towards everyone. Dhruv, karan and riya were beaten black and blue . They were half unconscious and were dragged by mahima's men . Ridhi gasped seeing her brothers and sister in that way she immediately went near them but they pointed gun towards them

M: if you move a step forward I will shoot them at once what did you think that this Mahima rajwanshi will come underneath your mouse traps no never .

R: leave my brothers and sister now

M: naah no so easily to leave then I need your life instead

Ridhi was in a dilemma she can't trust her but what to do , her brother's lives were at stake . But something clicked in her mind she silently gestured Vansh who looked at him focused his eyes on her . She showed some signs with her hands which were only understood by him he smirked knowing her plan . He slightly gave a nod to her and stepped back slowly giving Ridhi the space she wanted . She stepped forward

R: you want my life right but after taking my life what is the guarantee that you will spare their life I want you to face me directly one on one leave them all

M: don't think me as so naive my child I am more cunning than you don't think me to fall for your traps like others fell you might have some brain but that are inherited from me .

R: I hate calling myself your kin are you even a human how could you kill your own children ha

Ridhi was trying to keep her indulged in talks and other side Vansh tried to send the other persons into the room Beneath the stairs without anyone's notice but Aaryan, Rohit rohan and Rithvik didn't budge from their place they didn't want to leave their sister alone . Where as others in the room were praying for their children's life

Soon more guards came and knocked Aaryan , and others except Ridhi down she was standing facing her mother and looking at her unconscious siblings

Men tried to fight back with them but seeing Karan and Dhruv in that condition they accepted their defeat in all these angrey was missing slowly a poisonous gas was released in the room angrey approached them with masks and gave it to all the 6 and when the other inhaled the gases they became unconscious this is it rohan and Rithvik took those three away from there now only Rohit Vansh and Ridhi were standing in hall facing Mahima who was coughing badly after inhaling the gas Ridhi went near her and checked her vitals she was dead

Soon whole gas was cleared and all the men of Mahima and she herself was laying on the ground every one were released for the room and all of them hugged Ridhi choking her making her out of breath. She was happy but a fear was across her heart didn't know what was that they called police and made them to pull all of them but the thing they didn't know was Mahima was alive just unconscious as she gained consciousness she pulled the gun near a police and tried to shoot Ridhi but instead of her Vansh pulled her aside due to which it shot of his hand he winced a little but controlled the pain and checked ridhi whether she was okay or not

He sighed in relief but he was adamant to punish Mahima on his own to harm his parents and cause of misery of his best friend, his wife may be his love to

But kept it a secret from Ridhi he didn't want her to take this pressure more now he is there to protect his queen he , she may not need his protection but she needs his support which he will be .

Some days later

Vansh was totally fine and kept Mahima in torcher cell where he punishes his criminals unknown to Ridhi , Ridhi Aaryan were back to their work in A.R. industry
Karan , Dhruv  were totally fine and started to stay in with Ridhi as they didn't want her to be far from them

Vansh was the one who is happy more than ever he got the life which he wanted to his best friend is his life partner, his sister siya was getting better day by day and Ishani changed so much for good .

Aryan was enjoying his life with Sejal , Chanchal and rudra were happy for aryan as they always wanted his happiness. Rithvik decided to marry anjali his secretary. Rohan proposed Pooja at last

Rohit was trying to get over Tara and trying to move on he knew that siya has some feelings towards him but acted as if he doesn't slowly he was creating a space for siya in his life , angrey became ridhi's another brother surprisingly he started to date Ishani even Vansh approved their relationship

In all this ridhi was missing her sister her pari whom she loved the most

R: I wish pari bhi hogi tho hamare sat bohat accha hota

K: ridhi di I know u miss her a lot but she is always in you as your shadow and you know sometimes during our childhood we use to confuse between you both you looked almost the same

D: yes di tho me and Karan are twins but we never looked a like but you both looked like exact xerox copies of each other

Ridhi chuckled listening to that And fell into deep thoughts but a voice pulled her out she saw Vansh coming there

V: but I used to identify her easily because I knew the difference between both of them right Ridhi

Ridhi just gave him a smile and moved inside her room and opened her locket

There were two similar photos but one was looking elder to other she caressed the photos tears were flowing from her eyes . Vansh who came to room saw her and called her out

V: adhira , adhi turn this side

She was shocked to listen adhira's name from Vansh She turned back to see him smiling

V; what do you think you can fool me adhi I knew the minute you told the whole story but kept mum thought you yourself would say this to me

A: Vansh actually she stammered a bit

Vansh came close to her pinned her to the wall

V: tell me what exactly happened adhi I know you both call each other pari but the way Ridhi calls you pari is different and the way you call her pari is different

A:Vansh that day Ridhi died to save me and what I could do was to keep her alive in me so she could be with me

V: I understand adhi and I promise I will not say this to anyone till you wanted to reveal ok

A: are you not angry on me

V: I was hurt but understood you mind state and the person whom I have married is Ridhima not Ridhi not adhira she took my heart away forever you will be this vansh's Ridhima only

Adhira smiled in response and hugged him close felt secure in his arms away from materialistic world away from her fears guilt and all a smile formed on her face

She might be strong as lioness but is also innocent as a child whose innocence is protected by Vansh
