Night
Riddhima woke up from sleep & saw Vansh texted her asking about her health. She smiles & replies him, keeping phone aside she drinks water from her glass & gets up.
R:Thoda muh dhoy leti hun acha lagega
She started to go towards washroom & when her head started spinning, she holds her head & somehow enters washroom & stood supporting the sink. All of a sudden she fainted & was about to fall but Anupriya supports her & smirks.
Flashback
Riddhima was sleeping when Anupriya came & mixed medicine in her glass to make her faint.
Flashback Ends
An:That's it Riddhima.. no one is at home.. tumhe koi nehi bacha payega..
Later
Vansh enters mansion with a rose bouquet & went towards his room. Riddhima was not there, he keeps the bouquet & his blazer aside & went towards washroom & knocked on the door.
V:Riddhima.. are you there?
Getting no respond he enters & it was empty, he was about to leave when he notices something was inside the bathtub. He went near it & was shocked to find Riddhima inside & was drowning in water. He quickly pulls her out of bathtub & carries her & makes her lie on bed. He checks her pulse & breathing, it was very slow, he patted her face.
V:Riddhima.. Riddhima
He started rubbing her hands & feet to generate some heat, after sometime she finally opened her eyes.
R(murmurs):Vansh
Vansh hugs her tightly, she also hugs her back.
V:Thank god.. you are okay right?
R:Yes..
Anupriya saw from outside that Riddhima was alive & angrily left from there. Vansh broke the hug & was about get up but Riddhima clutched his shirt & stops his to get away.
R:Dont leave me today..please
Riddhima's eyes were speaking volumes to him, Vansh puts his hand on her face & looked deep into her eyes, he realized what she was wanting but tried to resist. Riddhima puts her hand on his face & Vansh's control snapped. He brought his lips near her face & kissed her forehead, both of her eyes & finally claimed her lips. Riddhima puts her hand in his hair tugs him closer, he bites her lower lip & explores her mouth. He guides his hand behind her & opens the knot of her kurta & keeps hand on her bare back. They parts away & Vansh keeps his forehead on her, both looks at each other.
V(murmurs):Riddhima.. do you..
Riddhima blinks her eyes giving him permission, Vansh continues stare in her eyes & removes all the barriers between them & consummate their relationship.
After Midnight
Kabir enters the mansion secretly & started to go towards Vansh's bedroom, he was carrying an envelope.
K(thought):I know Riddhima deep in your heart you love me in this envelope there are all the pictures which will remind you about me & then you will come back running to me.. I will keep it near her pillow so that she can see it first thing in the morning..
Kabir enters their bedroom silently & closes the door behind. When he turn towards their bed he was hell shocked & stumbled on his feet.
K(thought):No this cant happen..
Riddhima & Vansh were covered with duvet only & Riddhima was lying on Vansh's bare chest her arms around his waist, Vansh securely puts his arms around her waist kept her closed. Kabir looked around & saw their clothes scattered around.
K(thought):No Riddhima.. you cant do this to me
He fall down on his knees & looks at them with rage, his whole body & mind was on fire. He stood up & left from there, he came back his home & opens a bottle of whiskey & started drinking directly from bottle.
K:Vansh you have snatched everything from me.. my mom.. my life.. my position.. now my love.. now I will snatch everything from you.. everything.. your birthday is coming.. on your birthday I will snatch everything..
Next Day
Riddhima was the first one to open her eyes & realized she was sleeping on Vansh's chest. She blushes & covers herself & gets up silently not waking Vansh. She looks around & found his shirt near her, she wears it & quickly went to washroom & freshen ups & left from room. After she left Vansh wakes up & looks around then remembers about last night & smiles. Suddenly he stopped smiling & his face hardens.
V:What I have done? When Riddhima will get her memory back she will be shattered.. this is all my fault.. I have to rectify my mistake.. I will tell her that whatever happened was a mistake last night.. yes I will tell her..
Anupriya was in her room when Kabir calls her.
An:Kabir.. I am trying to contact you where are you?
K:These is not the time to exchange pleasantries.. listen to me very carefully.. it's time to snatch everything from him.. I am preparing the attorney papers you have to get them signed by him..
An:I have to get them signed by Riddhima also
K:What?
Anupriya tells him everything.
K:Dammit.. be very careful none of them should not know what they are signing..
Saying this he cuts the call.
K:Just few days more
Riddhima comes to room with Vansh's coffee & saw him reading a file, she went towards him.
R:Coffee
Vansh looks at her & takes the coffee from her, he keeps his palm on her forehead to check the temperature.
V:You okay?
R:Absolutely
V:How did you fell in bathtub?
R:I went to washroom for washing my face when I was feeling dizzy may be that time I fainted & fell inside it
Vansh nods & looks at her nervously.
V:Riddhima.. woh.. kal raat
Riddhima keeps her finger on his lips & smiles at him.
R:Ssshhh.. relax Vansh.. kal raat meri zindagi ki sab se khoobsurat raat thi.. so if you thinking that I was sick & it was not right then dont..
Saying this she left from there, Vansh sighs.
V:No I have taken advantage of her memory loss... I have to maintain distance from her..
