V: ridhima we cracked that deal today, you know what it took forever but at last we did it. Angre was really helpful as always but what surprised me the most was aryan's confidence during presentation, you have to believe me he killed it. Never in my dreams I thought that he gonna be so dedicated towards his work.

Today adi had done some serious mischieves, I can't believe it that he stuck chewing gum in teacher's hair. He is what? like 4. Angre was literally red in anger but adi being mumma's boy made some cute puppy faces and ishani melted. He is too good in buttering especially at this age.

He got punishment too, he has to say no to chocolates for a week. But he loves chocolates too much, don't worry I will secretly make him sneak chocolates.

D: beta

She kept a hand on his shoulders and he turned around, he had tears in his eyes.

D: for how long you gonna keep talking to her?

V: my lifetime.

D: she's gone vansh.

V: no she's still here, in this room, in my heart, her smell is still lingering here. I can't stop talking to her.

D: vansh get back to your senses. You're talking to her painting, she's gone.

V: due to me.

Dadi sighed and Vansh started crying silently.

V: it was all my fault. I played her, I played with her feelings, I played with her heart. All she ever wanted was a simple life but with me she never got it. She left me here. I am ashamed of such an act.

D: Vansh I know what you did was wrong but we are all at fault. We all were against her when she was protecting us. We all misunderstood her. You should be thankful to God for creating such a human being, despite of what you did she still helped you with kabir and anupriya.

V: I know dadi, I was only suspicious on them but ridhima left a solid proof for them to root in jail.

Ang: boss.

Both turned around and saw him standing there with adi who was pouting.

V: what happened to my favourite boy?

He just puffed his cheeks more and angre rolled his eyes.

Adi: dada scolded me.

Vansh smiled a little.

V: what you did was wrong na?

Adi: but that teacher always scolds me.

Ang: so you will stick chewing gum in her hair?  She had to cut her long hair, atleast think of it.

V: she must be very proud of her hair right?

Adi nodded.

V: good job devil, it indeed was a very good punishment.

Angre's jaw dropped and both vansh and adi shared a high five.

Ang: you two are devil Jodi, and boss instead of scolding him you're encouraging him. Wow.

V: Aree he's my favorite bhanja, anything for him.

Adi: I want to go park.

Ang: and who will do your homework?

Adi: vansh mamu

He said innocently and dadi burst out laughing.

V: adi ke bache.

He ran behind him making angre laugh.

D: I wish I could see him laugh like this always.

She had a sad smile on her face while angre sighed.

Ang: he forgot living, after bhabhi left he left his everything.

D: I wish she could come back in his life and make it colorful again.

Ang: I know , even if she comes back she would never forgive him. Boss thought she was an emotional fool who could do anything for her loved ones but he didn't understood that her emotions were the reason she was protecting us.

She considered us as her family but it was vansh bhai who played with her feelings, I actually couldn't believe he did something like that. I am still not able to forgive him for it.

D: I wish we could rectify our mistakes and I honestly wanted to shoot vansh after what he just did, I still be not be able to ever forgive him.

He just hummed and went after them who were getting ready to go park.

Adi : wow it's so much fun.

He shouted while running leaving behind a fake panting vansh and angre.

V: slow adi, we are not that fast.

Adi: mamu I knew that my dad is growing old but you too.

Both of their jaws dropped and looked at each other.

Ang: I am old?

V: me too?

They both ran behind him but faster and adi giggled running. He didn't notice that he came outside, on the main road and a car was going to hit him.

Ang & v: adi!!!

Both shouted at the same time trying their level best to run and save him,  the car was going to hit him but a girl saved him, rolling to side of the road adi on top of her.

She made him sit and winced in pain as she got a scratch in her arms, both ran towards him vansh took him in his arms and hugged him tight.

Angre was shocked with the sight in front of him, never ever in his dreams he's thought that he will see her again.

Ang: bhabhi

He whispered which caught Vansh attention and turned to him, who was looking at his son's savior. He too turned and was shocked to see HER, the same person whose memories made him cry silently at night, for whom his guilt is killing him.

She was shocked at first but quickly covered it with a emotionless mask face and quickly got up. Just then a man came running towards her.

Man: mam are you OK?

He asked and she just nodded trying to get out of here as fast as she can. Vansh was still fazed.

V: no I won't let you go this time.

He whispered to himself running to hug her but she pushed him.

Man : how dare you touch mam?

He roared and was going to hit him but ridhima stopped him.

R: let him go Aarav. We need to reach the meeting.

She said her voice ice cold, she didn't seem that bubbly ridhima who could literally talk for hours. It was not the same honey voice which could provide peace to ears.

Aarav : but mam

R: I said we need to attend the meeting.

Her glare was so dangerous that even angre shivered, she was not the same positive soul who could become light in someone's life instead her life became a dark den.

V: ridhima please jus-

She just walked away from there leaving them behind, all shocked.

Aarav : next time don't you dare touch her.

He glared at him which made vansh angry as hell, he grabbed his collar and looked straight into his eyes which were flaming.

V: she's my wife. I have full rights on her.

He roared.

Aar: what?!?!!

He was shocked. He didn't knew much about her personal life, he only knew about her being an orphan and has a best friend.

V: yes, I am her husband. And who are you?

He narrowed his eyes.

Aar: I am Aarav mishra, her PA.

V: but why does she has a PA.

Aar: are you crazy? She is one of the top businesswoman in India now, she built many hospitals and orphanages also.

Vansh with angre both were shocked.

V: but if she's a business woman then how come we don't know?

He asked looking at angre who was as confused as vansh.

R: what the hell Aarav! I pay you to do work not to gossip with others.

She shouted at him, fear was clearly visible in his eyes. Vansh was startled, he had never heard her talking in raised voice. Mr Vansh raisinghania she's not the same ridhima you know.

She was an angel who became destruction of herself.

Aar: sorry mam.

With that they both walked away.

V: angre I want to know everything by night.

Adi: dada was she an angel?

Ang: why did you say that?

Adi: I saw her painting in mamu room, I asked dadi about it so she said that she's an angel.

Angre just smiled whereas vansh was lost in thoughts of her. Today she isn't the same ridhima who they knew, her eyes screamed emptiness, hurt she had become emotionless. Her face didn't had the same glow as before, she seemed workaholic.

All three sat in the car, vansh was lost in memories of his best and her worst night.

V: ridhima you're the only person I have ever love in this life. I really love you.

She kneeled down to his level. Relationship is not about only him treating her like a queen but also her treating him like a king. Both are equal.

R: your starting of my life and end as well, I love you too much maybe more than myself or anything. I love you.

She never knew that her emotions gonna become her weakest point, the love she always carved for, she found it in Vansh. All she ever wanted was a carefree life, full of love, care, trust but all she got was betrayal, heartbreak, manipulation and mind games.

R: I just wish this moment stops here.

She was staring deep into his eyes, trying to read his soul but his eyes expressed nothing. He pulled her towards himself planting soft wet kisses on her cheeks and neck, her moans became music to his earlobes.

That day she became his, moon, stars, fireflies were all witness of their love. She gave him her soul, she became his but he didn't became hers.

He just wanted a stupid revenge on her, for making him fall for her. Now he too played a love game with her and broke her to an extent where this
'emotional fool ridhima ' would never be able to trust anyone.

If he took revenge on her than his love for her was not pure, yes she cheated but he betrayed. She crossed limits in love while he crosses limits in betrayal.

Yes, he did it unintentionally because he didn't knew kabir and anupriya truth but she was always hurt whether it be vansh or kabir. She loved them both selflessly where both betrayed her.

She always suffered.

Vansh came back to reality when car jerked back indicating them that they reached their destination. VR mansion.

He didn't spoke to anyone just came to his room and started sobbing badly clutching her dupatta.

V: ridhima please I am sorry. I am an idiot. I know I am wrong but please stop giving me this punishment, it's been four years and the guilt is killing me. I wish I had loved you the same way you did, the selfless love.

You're a true definition of an angel, who can't even think of hurting someone. You brought a ray of light in my life but I took your light away, please forgive me.

He remembered the look on her face which still haunts him everyday like a nightmare. That look on her face, those eyes screamed betrayal, pain, cornered, emptiness.

V: I wish I could endure your pain, I wish I wasn't blind enough in rage to notice your innocence. I hate myself for what I did. I couldn't even chase you due to my guilt and shame. I am ashamed of myself for what I became.
But now, I want to rectify my mistake, I promise to make you mine again but with pure love, care and trust.

He craves her, more than anything he ever craved anyone or anything in his life. He craves for her warm touch which was sometime his safe home.

There was a knock on the door, he quickly got up and wiped his tears.
Satisfied with the look he finally opened the door, there was angre standing with his laptop.

Ang: boss I found the informations you needed.

V: what is it?

Ang: boss three years ago she built her first hospital, a special hospital for physiotherapists in Gujarat. And after that she went on building hospitals and orphanages, we never got to know about her because she mostly stayed away from media and used the name 'Raima' for her business. She never made any deal in Mumbai it was always either north India or north Eastern states.

V: well fix a meeting with miss Raima but not as raisinghania  as sehgals.

Here on the other side ridhima was still thinking about the incident, recalling his betrayal. For herself she actually was an emotional fool to believe or trust anyone.

Her emotions became her biggest enemy, she felt numb after his betrayal. When she loved kabir he betrayed her, but then Vansh entered her life to make it beautiful and broke to such an extent that she became cold, emotionless, she wasn't ridhima, she was Raima a cold lady.

That bubbly ridhima died. She killed her emotions to survive this battle which she already lost. Relationships require openness, and that brings vulnerability. If you open up, you risk getting hurt. But if you don't you may never know the relationship you deserve.

R: to survive this game I had to change from ridhima to Raima. I had to put a lock on my heart, I had to become a cold lady, I had to become emotionless just for him. But today when I saw him again, I wasn't able to control my heart. Again my heart and mind are in battle, but this time I am not gonna repeat the same mistake again, I won't listen to my heart.

Aar: mam

She quickly got up from swing and turned towards him with a straight face.

Aar: mam we have a proposal from sehgals, they wanna invest in our hospitals.

She agreed to meet them tomorrow.
Aarav knew that they are not sehgals but raisinghania, he knew the emptiness she is facing. He is with her since 3 years, she is his life saviour. All he ever wanted was to see her happy, he thought of her like his own sister.

She helped him in his hardest times. So now it was his turn to help her in her emotional phase.

Ridhima and Aarav both were waiting on the beach side resort, it was the same one where Vansh and ridhima met the first time. All the memories rushed back to both of them, their first meet, her bold character impressing him and his aura forced to feel him.

Aar: mam they are here.

She came out of her thoughts and looked back, she was shocked. Both vansh and angre were sitting on the chairs.

R: what the hell

V: Mrs ridhima Vansh raisinghania.

She gritted her teeth.

R: I divorced you long back ago.

Her voice dangerous cold.

V: you signed the papers I didn't so you're still my wife, please come back with me.

She scoffed and gave him unbelievable look.

R: I can't believe that this dirty mouth of yours still can speak these words. What do you think? Who am I?  A doll. Whom you play the times you want and just throw them.

V: I know I am wrong ridhima but please forgive me.

R: Aarav you knew about them?

She asked him with a glare which was scary enough for anyone.

Aar: actually mam. Uh umm

R: just tell me

She shouted making all three of them flinch, angre was seeing a lady version of his boss. He never thought this soft spoken girl will ever shout like this. It's true a heartbreak can complete change someone's character.

Aar: yes.

He said in a small voice.

She just stood up to leave, vansh stood up as well to follow her. Just then she pushed him.

R: vansh!!

A bullet hit her shoulders and she fell in his arms.

Ang, v & aar: ridhima / bhabhi/ mam.

All three of them looked horrified at her, angre and Aarav ran to the bullet direction and Vansh was numb, all the past memories rushing back to him.

Her love was still selfless and pure,  she again lost her battle to heart. How much she tried to hate him but her heart never gave him the hate which he deserved. She lowered her guard with him entrusting him with her heart forever.

All she wanted was love and it became her weakness.

V: nothing should happen to her.

He held doctors collar who was shivering in fear, angre tried to console him but he broke down on his knees.

V: I don't deserve her. She is a selfless soul, even after bearing so much she still saved me.

Ang: you have to make it up to her, she saved you, she took bullet upon her twice. She doesn't needs to prove her love but this time you need to.

Vansh eyed angre who was staring intently at him. He left both of them and entered the temple.

V: mere liye Tum sirf chalawa Ho Par jo waha zindagi Aur maut ki Jung lar rahi h na use baht Bharosa h tumpe.
Maine Tumse Kabhi kuch nhi manga Par aaj apni ridhima ki zindagi mang raha Hu. Mujhe Meri ridhima lauta do, Janta Hu wo Tumse baht pyaar karti h Par shayad aaj wo mujhe Tumse bhi zyada pyaar karti h to us naate se Uski zindagi ka Pehla hak to Mera Hua na.

Please mujhe Meri ridhima lauta do.

He lit the diya and prayed for her, by the time whole family had reached hospital as angre told them about it.
Dadi saw Vansh praying and smiled a little.

D: she's out of danger and is awake.

Everyone thanked God and angre ran to vansh to tell this good news, he was very proud to see his praying for her. The VR who never believed in God bowed his head just because she was in danger.

Ang: boss she's awake.

Both ran towards her room and Vansh hugged ridhima tightly.

V: bappa ne Meri sun li, unhone mujhe tumhe lauta diya.

His voice choked as he spoke, Aarav entered the ward with tears in his eyes.

Aar: I always saw you emotionless but I knew there was a reason for it and today I understood it. You still love him whether you accept it or not, mam please take your decision wisely.

With that he left the ward to pray and thank God.

V: ridhima please I am sorry, the guilt is killing me inside. I just want to be yours always and forever, I promise to never become an idiot like before.

R: I forgive you because I can't stay away with you, my mind lost the battle to my heart but dare you break my heart once again.

So guys at last the Raima is back, Vansh smiled nodding. Yes, people make mistakes but we all deserve a second chance in life because we are all humans and mistakes are part of life.

~♥~

OK so done.  And I am sorry if you didn't like Vansh actually hurting ridhima but I want to say that the title of the show itself justifies it.

It's ishq mein marjawan. Revenge, betrayal, madness, innocent victims, obsession and dark love story is all part of it. We always cannot expect Vansh to be a perfect man, his character is flawed along with ridhima.

They both are not perfect. OK so anyways hope you all liked this os and please, please I request you to comment and give me some suggestions.

Till then take care. And I have something interesting coming up for you tomorrow for new year. Stay tune.
