The story starts after they leave the family in VR Residence. Enjoy.
**********
Riddhima and Vansh shifted their base to Siliguri,after leaving their family to themselves and handing over the property related papers to Aangre. They have been living happily and peacefully in duplex penthouse,which was surrounded by beautiful greeneries and tea plants.
The people who lived around were really very sweet,caring and helpful. As Riddhima was pregnant,she used to get special attention from them,which made Riddhima and Vansh feel happy and special.
Riddhima was in her 8th month of pregnancy,and usually in this time frame,Godh Bharai ritual is performed for the mother-to-be,to make her feel special and loved. But the way their family members' possessed hatred for them,it was natural to think that they wont come,and it's good for both the families', not to reconcile,come what may.
In the kitchen:
"Riddhima beta,tumhara Shaad(Bengali for Godh Bharai) karna hoga..Tumhara toh aathva mahina chal raha hai.." Bannerjee aunty spoke.
Riddhima became still,at the thought of this. She knew,somehow Vansh wont like it. She remained silent.
"Hum abhi jaake tumhare Uncle ko bolta hai Bonsh se baat karne ko.." Bannerjee aunty spoke.
"Aap rehne do,Aunty. Vansh naaraaz hojayega. Itne kuch hone ke baad,usse bura lagega..." Riddhima replied,as tears started to form in her eyes.
"Maine toh apne bhabhi ke godh bharai keliye bohut saare plans banaye rakkhe thhe,par lagta hai Bhabhi ko accha nahi laga!!" A voice broke their reverie.
"Aangre.. Sia..." She slowly got up with the help of Bannerjee aunty and went to hug them. Riddhima was really happy to see them infront of her eyes',after 6 months.
She introduced them to Bannerjee aunty and all of them sat down for a chit chat.
"Aangre,tumhare Vansh bhai ko bura lagega yeh jaanne ke baad ki tumne uski baat nahi maani!" Riddhima said.
"Bhabhi,aapke liye aur iss nanhi si jaan keliye aaya hu,aur main toh rishte mein Chote Papa lagta hu,so,uss naate se mera haq bannta hai.." Aangre replied firmly.
"Haan bhabhi.. Aangre jiju sahi bolrahe hai.. Bhai se main baat karungi.."

Evening:
HappyNook Residence(Vansh and Riddhima's house).
The house was beautifully decorated with minimalistic decor. Even the neighbours' of Vansh and Riddhima helped Aangre and Sia to decorate. Sia,along with some ladies' went to get Riddhima ready,while Aangre took away Vansh to his room.
VanGre and Siya convo:
"Isse pehle ki aap kuch bole,main batata hu. Main yahaan apne parivaar keliye aaya hu,jinhe main dil se apna maanta hu,kisi ek insaan keliye nahi.. Har baar maine aapki baat maani hai,iss baar aap meri baat maan lijiye.." Aangre replied,requesting him with folded palms.
"Haan,Vansh bhai. Bhabhi ke chehre pe woh khushi dekhi hai aapne?? Khud ke baare mein na sochke,woh aapke khushi ke baare mein soch rahi hai.. I know,pichle kuch mahine pehle jo hua,woh sahi nahi thha and i completely support your decision for leaving the family,par iska yeh matlab toh nahi na ki aap Bhabhi se unke haq ki khushiyaan chheen le.. You both deserve this happiness,Bhai.." Sia made him understand.
"Tum dono kaafi ho mujhe samjhane keliye.. Kya hai ki,mujhe kabhi kabaar darr lagne lagta hai inn sab khushiyo se,kahin phirse..." Vansh couldn't complete,as tears formed in his eyes.
"Hum samajh sakte hai,Bhai.. Par aap Vansh Rai Singhania ho.. Aap toh darr ko bhi maat de dete ho.. Aise chinta ko dur rakkhiye aur uparwaale pe bharosa kijiye. Unhe pata hai ki aap dono duniya ki har ek khushi deserve karte hai.. Woh sab sambhal lenge.." Aangre assured him..
"Thank you for being there for me." Vansh replied,taking both of them in a bear hug.
"Arey Bonsh beta.. kothay tumi?? Jaldi aao!! Tumhara Aunty dhund raha hai tumhe." Bannerjee Uncle called for Vansh.
"Aaya Uncle.." And they left.
Main lounge:
Riddhima looked ethereal in the Red Benarasi saree,draped in Bengali style,while her hair was tied into a low bun,decorated with jasmine flowers.
She was made to sit on the sofa and the married ladies' started their rituals,starting from blowing the conch shell and the Ulu Dhwani. Soon after,the guests' came on by one,blessed Riddhima and her unborn child with loads of blessings and gifts.
Now,it was Aangre's turn. He came and placed a big bag of toys for his unborn nephew or niece. He made a promise that he will never leave them alone,eying Vansh.
Sia also came up with a thaal of cute baby clothes and goodies',used for the newborn babies',and spoke something in her ear,which made Riddhima blush.
"Ab tum jao Bonsh beta.. Tum humari beti ko kya dega?" Bannerjee Aunty asked,hugging Riddhima.
Vansh came forward and knelt infront of her. Riddhima looked at him with a pretty smile,and pecked his hands,to assure him.
"Aaj tak jo bhi diya,bas tumne hi diya hai Riddhima. Har ek khushi,har woh ehsaas,sab kuch diya hai tumne. Phir bhi,main tumhe ek cheez dena chahta hu.." He places his one hand over her palm and places the other on her belly,where their symbol of love is growing.
"Ek vada deta hu tumhe,ki,aaj se main tumhari aur humare aanewale bacche ki suraksha kawaj banke rahunga. Tumhe aur humare bacche ko har ek khushi dunga jiski tum dono haqdaar ho.. Tum dono ka mujhpar pehla aur aakhri haq rahega.. I love you,Riddhima.." Vansh replied,with conviction.
"Main jaanti hu,tum apne diye huye vaado se kabhi mukarte nahi ho.. Tum mere Vansh ho.. Aaj main bhi tumse ek vaada karti hu,ki,tumhe bhi main woh khushi aur sukoon de paau jiske tum sahi haqdaar ho.. Main humesha tumhare saath thhi,hu aur humesha rahungi.. I love you too,meri jaan.." Riddhima replied with a kiss in his forehead.
Everyone clapped for them,seeing their immense love and respect for each other. The elders' blessed the new parents'-to-be with loads of love and good health.
Later on,everyone spent the night,enjoying amongst themselves and also,with the thought of embracing their bright future,with positivity and peace.
