R: This is what you deserve kabir.

She said as she turned around to leave the police station.

R: I did it. It did it because of you. Thank you for becoming my strength, I don't think I could have done this without your help Aarav.

Pearl v puri as Aarav malhotra.
( Heera_porsh your wish is my command)

Aar: Ridhi you are the best thing that ever happened to me and it was your pretty brain's idea to trap him so it is you who did all this.

She held his hands and looked straight into his eyes.

R: you became my strength when it was needed the most, you became my backbone Aarav. I couldn't thank you enough.

Aar: Ridhi now if you say thank you one more time then I swear I will eat all your hidden chocolates.

Both burst out laughing and she hugged him. He kissed crown of her head and hugged her tighter, sniffling her hair.

V: Ridhima

She turned around and put on an emotionless face on, whole family was standing there with guilty look on their faces.

R: yes Mr can I help you?

V: ridhima please I am so-

R: I am really sorry to cut you off like this but I have some work to do unlike some.

Her voice held no emotions which was a shocker to family, she always was bubbly and bold personality but it is their fault to help him in this stupid revenge.

Sia: Bhabhi please listen to us.

No protesting can hold back this ridhima, she is not the same emotional fool who would help everyone selflessly.

V: ridhima I know I was blind in rage and revenge and I did very wrong to you.

R: Mr raisinghania I alr-

Aarav came forward and stood in front of her with a possessive look on his face, like her shield from them which he actually is.

Aar: Mr raisinghania thanks to her that your bones are still intact in their places. If it was not for her, I would not have thought twice before killing you so please keep your filthy hands with yourself.

He gave a sarcastic smile at end which irked him. Angre came forward to punch him, his fist was going to collide with his face but was held back.

It was ridhima's hand, bloody cold look on her face. With a reflex, she twisted his hands and now he was under her spell. Whole family was shocked to see this scenario.

R: don't you dare angre. You need to learn to keep your hands to yourself or it could cost you more than you think.

Angre yelped in pain but it didn't had any affect on her, if it was old ridhima she never would have ever thought of hurting someone. She left his hands and kneeled him in his guts with a punch his nose.

R: next time, you try to lay hands on him you're dead.

Her expression was dead serious, capable enough to scare anyone. Aarav was looking at her with proud expression and rest of them with a jaw dropped expression.

Aar: come let's go home.

Vansh came forward and blocked their way.

R: Mr raisinghania it won't take me a minute to teach you the same lesson as angre. You better leave our way.

V: oh really? Do you think I am that kind of idiot to believe that you gonna slap or punch me? You can't harm me.

R: Be my guest then.

She moved forward, slapping him hard. It seemed like it was not only for blocking her way but also for the pain she suffered. The loneliness she had despite having this mad family. The devastation, when her own family refused to identify her.

The rage and hurt was evident in her eyes.

R: next time before taking a drastic step. Think twice, if you're missing some dots then you might be wrong in the game you're playing.

It was not only for this situation but for the past blunders he created knowing the half truth. When she was shouting and trying to make him understand that she's not at fault, he never listened.

R: oh and

She turned around and walked near the family.

R: I am sorry due to me your daughter in law, Ahana Vansh raisinghania is in jail. If you want you can forgive me and if even if you don't it doesn't matters.

She turned to leave from where but was held by a hand, it was dadi.

D: beta I know what we did with you was terribly wrong and we are very sorry for this. Believe me I slapped Vansh atleast 10 times for this grave blunder he created, I was ashamed of myself to help him out. But we love you.

Ridhima looked at everybody with rage in her eyes.

R: really you all love me? May I know the time when I got love from this family? When aryan tried to burn me in ravaan statue or when ishani and chanchal plotted against me with those nails?

Or when your daughter in law anupriya wanted to kill me with bomb and poison? Or when your half grandson played with my emotions and used me for his own motives ?

Or when your favorite grandson plays a love trap with me and gives me punishment for a mistake I never did, broke me to an extent where I won't ever will able to see the old ridhima ? Or when this whole damn family stood with him in all this?

She finally said this loud. Other than Aarav she never spoke this to anyone, her eyes watering, chest panting.
All the pain she went through was coming out now, she couldn't keep it inside anymore.

Vansh hugged her to pacify her but she pushed him hard and he fell on the ground.

R: you hurt me the most. Don't you dare come to me for forgiveness.

She clearly warned him. Aarav came and hugged her to calm her down and it worked, what hurt Vansh the most was sometime he was her solace and now.

V: Ridhima please all I need is your ten minutes. Please atleast give me that.

He kept chanting it straight for fifteen minutes non stop without letting her go. She was getting irritated as well as Aarav.

R: ugh fine. But just ten minutes

Aar: ridhi what the hell are you saying? Your giving a second chance to him? To this man.

Vansh glared at him.

R: who said I am giving him another chance? It's just ten minutes of my life which I am giving or he won't let us go.

V: OK 7 pm at glass star resort.

With that he left from there. She too started to walk away but was held back by Sia. She hugged her and started crying, ridhima couldn't hold back and hugged her tight.

S: bhabhi I know the pain you went through everyday, I couldn't respond you but I heard everything you said. How much they tortured you. Bhabhi but please don't give punishment to those who haven't committed any crime.

She pulled back from the hug

R: Sia I know you're not at fault and I am ridhima for you. You're like a sister to me and I can't let you go. I was never angry from you and will never be, your intentions were always good.

S: so please come back to us.

Ridhima was taken aback. She didn't said anything just left from there, Aarav followed her to the car. She just remembered the memories they spent together

V: what is most precious to you?

R: my identity. Ridhima Vansh raisinghania, I was an orphan Vansh but after you married me I got a family and my name. And more than that YOU. You're the most precious thing to me.

His soulless body, eyes dead, Without any expression he just went to sleep.
When she woke up in the morning she saw Vansh was missing on the bed.

R: Vansh are you in the washroom?

She shouted but got no response, she checked outside, inside, but found him no where.

R: excuse me have you seen my husband?

Receptionist : husband? Mam but you came alone right?

Ridhima was shocked.

R: what! Are you drunk or something. I came here with my husband Vansh raisinghania.

Receptionist : mam I think you're mistaken.

R: you know what just see this CCTV footage. Everything will be clarified.

They did as she said, she was confused and shocked. In the footage only she was present, either it was morphed or was edited badly.

Many negative thoughts were coming in her mind.

R: what if he's in some kind of danger? No no no.

She panicked just by the thought of it, she was standing on the road asking lift. A car stopped at her protestion.

Man: yes ma'am can I help you?

R: yes please my husband is missing and those resort people are saying that I came there alone. The footage was also morphed, please help me. I need to reach my home.

Man: I will help you don't worry.

She was very thankful to him for the ride to VR mansion, during the ride she just thought of the possibilities and learnt his name too. Aarav malhotra.

R: thank you so much for helping Mr Aarav

Aar: you call me Aarav and I will accept your thank-you.

R: thank you Aarav.

She went inside the mansion and was shocked to see Ahana wearing Vansh's mom lehenga.

D: yes beta. Do you want to meet someone?

R: dadi what are you saying and where is Vansh?

D: Who are you beta?

She was shocked to core.

R: dadi I am ridhima, Vansh's wife.

Aha: are you mad or something? I am his wife, I think you're drunk.

R: what the hell are you saying? You're his wife?

After so many protestions, crying she came out. Broken.

This side Aarav was attending a call and was going to leave from there but stopped in his track.

Aar: ridhima. What happened?

She didn't answer him, she was in her own Terence of world. He shook her to bring her back to reality, that's when she realised what game is being played with her.

When ridhima brought vihaan home as vansh, his identity was questioned and now he is taking revenge from her by snaching her most precious thing. Her existence, her name.

She broke down on her knees.

Aar: ridhima you can share anything with me, I know we just met but from your personality I can make out you're an innocent soul. I know you are not wrong.

She didn't wanted to tell anything to a stranger but he had a very different vibe as if forcing her to trust him. As if God himself sent him to help her out from this situation.

She told him everything, from kabir to Vansh, everything. He wanted to kill both of them, then and there. He felt some kind of attraction towards her, an urge to protect her. She was a selfless angel, played by many devils.

From that day Aarav helped her out in collecting proofs against kabir and ahana. He was always very possessive of her, he protected her in way no body did.

Aar: ridhima

He shook her out of her dream world and he understood, she was still thinking of her past. He hugged her to become her solace.

Aar: nothing will happen ridhima. I am with you in every step you take and it is ready.

R: then it will be executed today itself.

At 7, she reached the resort and saw it was decorated beautifully. She turned around and saw Vansh on his knees a

V: I know what I did is unforgivable and I won't expect you to forgive me easily but I am ready to beg for your forgiveness my whole life. Please ridhima, come back to my life.

R: are you done?

She was eagerly waiting for his
' romantic ' speech to be over so that she could walk away from there.

V: no. Just one more surprise.

He took her hands in his and dragged her with him, in the mid way she jerked her hands away. There was a beautiful setup with bonfire and fake snow, just like how it was in manali.

V: that day when you sung for me, it expressed your unconditional love for me and now it's my chance.

He strummed the beats of the guitar

Tum mere Ho is pal mere Ho
Kal shayad Ye aalam na rahe
Kuch Aisa ho tum Tum na raho
Kuch Aisa ho Hum hum na rahe

Ye raaste alag ho jaye
Chalte chalte Hum kho jaye

Mai Phir bhi Tumko chahunga
Mai Phir bhi Tumko chahunga
Mai Phir bhi Tumko chahunga
Mai Phir bhi Tumko chahunga

Is chahat me Mar jaunga
Mai Phir bhi Tumko chahunga.

She was reminded of the time when she sung the same song for him with immense love and care. Every word she said, she meant. When he was singing, he was looking the whole time at her, as if trying to convey that he meant everything he said.

R: please stop.

She couldn't take these voil of emotions anymore.

R: you want my answer right? Then I'll message you an address come there with whole family because if I take a decision it will be for all.

She left that place with tears in her eyes. She messaged the same address to everyone including Aarav.

R: so you all are here to hear my decision right?

They nodded but two people were worried as she was sitting at the almost edge of cliff. Yes the same cliff.

Aar: ridhi I will respect your every decision but can you please come this side?

Ridhima glared at him to keep his mouth shut.

R: you all hurt me. Took advantage of my emotions except Sia, what do you all think I am some kind of doll? I will never forgive you all. Never. You all will live with the guilt for rest of the life.

D: wha-

She didn't let them complete, she stood up and started going backwards.

Aar: ridhima this was not our plan.

He said perplexed.

R: I am sorry Aarav but I don't want to live anymore.

Aar: but you said that you will take a decision that didn't meant end of your life.

V: ridhima please don't do this. If you want me away from your life then I'll go but please don't do this.

Aarav and Vansh both were taking baby towards her but it was too late.
She fell down, they both tried holding her hand but Vansh could hold only her dupatta.

Aar&V: RIDHIMA!

She fell with a smile on her face until she was not visible anymore. Everyone was crying and blaming themselves for this.

Both broke down on their knees.
From that day Vansh lived in guilt and sorrow of her death.

Aar: are you OK? I hope our plan worked

He grinned with the person in front of her. He was covered with black shawl and mask.

Man: of course it did. Those nets were really good, I didn't even got hurt. You made good arrangements Aarav.

Aar: always at your service my lady ridhima.

Yes, it was ridhima. She removed her mask and hugged him.

R: not ridhima but Riya. Ridhima died, she needed to. For starting a new future sometimes the past connection needs to be dead. And now it's Riya.

Aar: yes my Riya. But why didn't you forgive them? When you already had this plan.

R: they needed this lesson Aarav. From now they won't trust him easily and he too won't play with anyone. To live my new life I had to break connections from them. And now everything is done, I won't be ever back in their life.

Sometimes few people hurt us so much that they don't deserve second chance for their mistakes. Same went with her and now she wants to live her life peacefully and happily without their interference.

Hello people. Don't need to thank me for this early update but really wanted to post this as it was a requested one.

Heera_porsh your wish is my command, hope you liked it. Guys she was the one who made such an interesting plot and even if it was not up to mark then I am really sorry for that. And I loved to write when ridhima slapped Vansh, I would love if she does this in show too.

And let's not talk about the show because I will still not blame anyone but I would love to take my time and appreciate Rrahul's acting. Without any dialogue, he maintained his mysterious aura with softness in his eyes. Bow down from me.

Next update gonna take a little time so till then stay safe and take care.
