Vansh Rai Singhania was a man of few words, he wasn't used to speak more than them all his life until now, starring at his sister, he wanted to find the words. To ask her forgiveness for not protecting her from those who hurt her, he knew she can't hear them as she was in Coma. But still he wanted to tell her, he was Sorry.

It had been the reason, he risked everything to walk inside this house in the middle of the night, to  see his sister. One last time before he embark on the journey called revenge, against everyone who betrayed him including her, Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania. He had been a fool to trust her, believe her but not any more. 

Vansh will never forgive himself for bringing Riddhima into this house to take care of his sister and yet she had been the reason for his downfall. She played him with those wide round eyes that always made him believe she had been innocent, he knew she wasn't who she said to be but he always assumed she maybe not on his side but she will never harm anyone, especially not his sister. 

And yet few hours ago, he saw her talking with the man who led to his downfall Kabir. They were arguing with each other, probably a lovers quarrel on who will get more share of his wealth. He knew Kabir had tricked his mother into believing he was her son. And both of them were playing with his family and he won't let it pass, this time he will not hesitate to strike , he had million clues that something was wrong and yet he had been too interested on his wife that he failed to protect Ragini as well as his sister. 

The sound of footsteps made him pause as he hid behind one of the book shelf, it was the middle of the night, there was no reason for anyone to be inside his sister's room and yet he heard the foot steps first and then he saw her. Riddhima, she was walking towards her sister bed and he wanted to interfere, because he feared that she will harm her and yet a part of him still wanted to see it with his own eyes what she will do , so he waited and he didn't know if he was relieved or disappointed when she only covered Siya with a blanket and changed the AC temperature before walking away. 

He should have let her leave, and stay behind as he came her only to see his sister. And yet he followed her back to his room. Was he relieved to see she was alone in their room. Yes, but it was probably for pretense, probably to fool his family some more. How many times, he had to convince himself she betrayed him and yet a part of him wanted to be proved wrong even after all that conspired, even when he had be dead to have his revenge. 

As he entered their room, he saw her on their bed , sitting quietly. As if sleep eluded her, maybe she had been feeling guilty for all the chaos she caused , for all the people she hurt. Yes that must be the reason, she couldn't sleep, even after she gained everything she wanted from him.

Vansh for the first time realized how easy it was to hide in his house without detection, he had assumed he entered without getting caught because he knew everything about his house but still, he wondered if his house which he assumed as impenetrable was actually not that safe or secure as he believed, because how else did Riddhima and Kabir meet often enough to plan everything perfectly. 

Vansh in his trust had even lifted most of the restrictions giving Riddhima free rein to ruin him, then the sound of sob broke the still silence in the room as he turned to see where it came from only to realize it had been her, who was crying now. 

She was crying due to guilt, he knew that and yet those heart wrenching sobs made him want to console her, because when it comes to her , he always acted as a fool. Not anymore, he vowed as he tried to walk away from their room, from her and those tears. Because if he stayed a minute longer, he would have a change of heart, he would start to believe in her innocence, or may be the fool that he was would probably want to forgive her .

So he tried to walk away until he heard her call out his name , Vansh. Just one word and he froze, did she saw him, he wondered it was impossible as he had been way out of her line of vision and yet there it was she said his name again. So he turned to see if his game was already up, he had plans , several plans to have his revenge and none of them will play as he wanted if Riddhima for a second doubted he wasn't dead.

It was the reason, he stayed away this long , and yet like a fool he walked into the trap all over again, because he had to see her. But she wasn't looking at his direction but rather towards a wall in the opposite side , starring at a picture of him in the wall. 

Guilt, it was the reason she was crying, he knew that and yet why did he want to believe it was more than that, why did he want to believe all those moments he had with her during their marriage were real , not a well executed plan of her to make him a fool.

Because he was a fool , to want for something that wasn't there in the first place , she may be crying now due to guilt but that was all there to it nothing more and Vansh will not be moved by those tears , he meant to have his revenge and he will show Riddhima what will happen to those who betray him .

And yet he stayed where he was until she cried herself to sleep. And then he walked near her to see a glimpse of her sleeping face, and looking at those tears stained face made him wonder why she would cry for him.

Those heart wrenching sobs weren't just over guilt , it was as if she mourned for him , grieved over his death and yet he didn't know why she would if everything had been a plan from the start to betray him .

Vansh can't doubt his path all over again and yet her tears made him pause, made him wonder if there was more to her story , made him wonder if her actions weren't quite black and white all because he couldn't ignore those tears.
