Chapter1

The scene starts from where Kabir has shown the juvenile keeper recording to Riddhima and she went directly to her room.*Here Riddhima did not return to the mandap on Kabir insistance it was on her own as she could not mess such an important day of her life if Vansh found her to be missing.Nor she had the sad face,she had the turmoil in her but she had a smile on her face all along and Vansh did understand what she is going though.

She was shocked into silence .Her legs moved in her own accordance and them stopped suddenly .She was in their bathroom .All she could hear was what that man said "Vansh had killed a couple ,they were her wife's parents."

She felt the air surrounding herself heavy as if trying to bury her into the ground under their weight ."No ,No ,NOO "she screamed as grabbed the vase near and throw it towards the mirror right in front of her .The mirror broke into pieces just like the way she was feeling .She felt a storm building inside her capable to destroy everything including herself .Within a few minutes the complete room was a mess describing the inner turmoil in her mind .She leaned towards the basin and tightly grabbed a piece of broken mirror in the hope the physical pain would distract her from the pain she felt inside her soul .Blood was dripping from her hands but she did not feel anything,the pain inside her was far too much.

Her mind was flooded with painful words she heard all her life,

"you don't deserve love"

"u are born a burden"

"u are undesirable"

"jitna mil raha utne mai khush raho ya fir woh bikhari(beggars)ke baccho ke jaisa hona chati ho"

"you would be illegiminate child so ur parents left u"

"you must be burden on them,shame on them...u don't deserve love" were ringing in her ears.She kept her hands on her head clutched her hairs while screaming as if it could stop them.

All the lonely nights she spent with darkness surrounding her thinking a day she might learn the truth which would bring lightness just like the moon did .The way she craved for love.To find someone who belonged to her, where she could find her peace her home in them who would accept her for what she was ...and when she found that in Vansh and today she is here where everything points that he is the reason for her lonliness all her life,the one who destroyed her world ,her childhood..

the one who gave her life cannot be the reason for the destruction "noo..NEVERRR..NOT POSSIBLEE.."her heart and a part of mind scream while the other part screamed then

"why is he not telling u the truth?"

why keeping secrets?

why saying you can never find it?

Why everyone hiding it from you?

why??

while a part of her said to not quickly conclude to conclusion..Is it right?

So many questions she did not even have an answer to even one of them...with each second it was getting more difficult to breathe...she was hyperventilating,her shoulders tensed,her hands shaking due to the blood loss..unable to take more she laid in the bathtub full of water...closing her eyes she dipped in it as if it would allow some clearity to seep in her..

few minutes and she slowly lead her head out ...and when she open her eyes she was no longer the same ...

The Riddhima which dipped inside was having a tug of war inside her head,who would believe everyone and every single thing she saw and heard,quickly jump to conclusion,not analyse from others perspective but the one who came out had determination in her she was the fire,the ash,the storm capable to destroy anything in her way,who would not believe everything and anything..she wants the TRUTH ..THE REAL ONE..if needed she will cross all boundaries because this involves her world her soul - Vansh & her parents .

This time she is not going to play with any one but both her heart and her mind..as her heart said Vansh could never do this while all the evidence she saw till now and Vansh behaviour said otherwise...which meant there is more to than what she had seen and shown till now..so first of all she need to analyse everything with calm.

************************

She was all alone sitting on a chair in the darkness.A cool brezzee touched her skin as she looked towards the moon had it been any another day she would be a chirpy bird but not today.She took a deeo breath and closed her eyes she needed to recall eveything that has recently occured.It all stated from the white heart locket,she must have missed something to notice,she needed to know what.As she was recalling all the events till now giving attention and analysing every single thing..her eyes snapped open,

"Kabir"she whispered. How could she not notice it, he was taking far too much interest..the way he was present everywhere ..spilling venom against her Vansh..the hints he gave to her ..not that she believed on them blindly, whatever she had done was based on Vansh's talk and behaviour not Kabir.She would listen to him but never belived nor she could ever after what he had done to her but she felt angry on herself to not notice his interest and show him his actual place.Yes!She does not completely belive in the video as those words were not spoken directly to her but through a video that too shown to her by Kabir.She was no fool to belive it moreover when she thought more about it she realised when she went away from the basement he was already blue and black and soaked in his own blood yet was refusing to tell so what did Kabir do that suddenly he blurted out all things especially when she was not there,something is definately not right here.

What was troubling Riddhima was Vansh was not at all telling anything , his peculiar habit to hide secrets. Thinking about it she realised ," This time Vansh knows what she is doing ,he even knows that she is not going to stop at any cost,he must know his behaviour is not going to help him in any kind just increase suspicious on him which he would definately not want especially in front of her eyes that means either he thinks the truth would hurt her or he is protecting someone or there is something going in the background about which she is fully unaware." thought Riddhima.

"Enough is enough!!! No more secret-secret play of this land. I will find the truth, as for now I am sure even Kabir does not know about it ,he is just playing with few facts but I know his weakness-OVERCONFIDENCE...so now if I don't use it against him then it would be injustice na", she says in her mind.

"Kabir you have to pay for what you did. Its your biggest mistake to think I doubt Vansh,my loyalty..my trust..my love for him is unwavering its so deep you can't even think about it I just want to know the truth from nothing more nothing less .I won't repeat her mistake again. Tumhari ulti ginti suru Kabir"she said to herself with fire in her eyes.

Unknown to her a pair of eyes and ear has heard whatever she said.

********************************

At the same time when Riddhima was sitting alone and thinking ,in another corner of the house-Vansh's secret room,Angre and Vansh were having there own discussion.

"Boss,the work is done.He would be coming tomorrow.Our wait will be over."Angre said to Vansh with satisfaction in his voice."Only you could do this,Angre.I won't repeat the same mistake again.One mistake and I can lose her again.NOOO..iss baar galti se bhi galti nahi hogi.."Vansh said with fear and possesiveness in his voice ,he continued "The demons and darkness of the past will not affect their present and future."

"Boss iss baar koi galti nahi hogi kal waqt humara nahi tha par aaj hai...ab woh humse kabhi dur nahi ja sakti..kabhi nahi.."he said with affection, care and determination in his voice ,he continued "Boss jab se yeh kehl chalu hua hai bohot kuch hua hai..mere khayal se hume ek baar phirse starting se sab kuch check karna chaiye shayad kuch nazar se chuk gaya ho...aur waise bhi kal uske aajane se bohot se raaz khulne wale hai..shayad link aur samajne mai aasani hogi.""Sahi kaha, Angre par filal tum Aryan ko call karo kuch pata chala usse?"

Angre quickly dailed the number and asked the same ,the reply "Bhai he has planned something big against us, especially you..I don't know exactly his plan but I heard saying while burning your photo with her that she heself will stand against you..I think he has worked phase one..I will try to find about it as soon as possible.""You know where to meet me come now."Vansh said in his authorative tone.

Till the time Aryan came Vansh and Angre were recalling the events that occured in the last few days after communicating through eyes Angre started to leave the room.He opened the door and found Aryan standing right in front of him when he heard Vansh voice"And how many time I told you to call me Bhai,now toh you can start calling "Angre just gave a small smile nodded his head and left.A small smiled crept on Vansh face and he shook his head at this.

Looking at each other both-Aryan and Vansh faced formed a smirk.

Elsewhere in Ishangre room ,Ishani is lost in thoughts when Angre enters...
