Few weeks after marriage,
Riddhima was sitting on her bed crying over her fate. She had eavesdropped on a conversation between Anupriya and Kabir accidentally. She got to know their plan. She got to know how she was just a pawn for them. This on one hand freed her of guilt that she had fallen head over heels in love with Vansh, but on the other hand made her realise that by her own hands she destroyed her only chance to get love and family.
Vansh entered the room and saw Riddhima crying bitterly.
V: Riddhima what happened? Why are you crying?
R: Vansh please let me cry and just leave me alone for today. Today I came face to face with the ugliest truth of my life which was hidden from me for a long time. Don't stop these tears today. I will be fine tomorrow. But just for today, leave me alone.
V: But Sweetheart.....
R: Vansh please!!!
V: Okay... As you say. But remember, I will always be there for you. I have always told you and I will tell you today too that whenever you are in a problem, you will always find me standing beside you.
Saying this, he left.
R(thinking): Vansh, you don't the truth. Once you get to know the truth, you yourself will send me away from you. I unintentionally betrayed you. On our wedding night, you gave me option of gun or rose. But I will choose both.
Next day
Riddhima was back to normal. She was behaving as if yesterday nothing happened. This confused Vansh greatly. He wanted to know what had happened yesterday. But Riddhima was avoiding the topic. He thought to give her few days and then try to talk to her about this again.
Few days later
Early morning Riddhima had gone somewhere and told everyone that she is going to Sejal's house for a few days. Vansh received two chips in a courier with instructions to see the videos in them at night alone.
Night
Vansh inserted the first chip in the laptop and played the video.
R: Hey Vansh. You must be thinking why did I send you this video when I am coming back in a few days. But the truth is that I am not coming back until and unless you come and get me. There is a reason why I am saying this. Today I will tell you my story.
She tells him everything. She also tells him about the conversation which she heard few days back between Anupriya and Kabir. She told him to see the video in other chip as the proof.
R: I don't know if you will forgive me after knowing this because even if unintentionally, I betrayed you. On our wedding night, you gave me option of gun or rose. But I will choose both. Now you have the choice. Whether you want me to continue with both options or with rose. If you choose first option, I will live my whole life waiting for you in the hope that one day you will come to me and I will get you in my life but know deep inside that this will never happen. That will be heaven and hell both for me. If you choose second option, it will mean that you have forgiven me and want me in your life as your better half. Even though I have no right to do so, I have one request for you. Please don't try to find me for at least two months. I promise I won't leave this city and I myself will send you my address, but I need this time for myself. I need to gather my broken pieces and glue them together somehow and I need to do this myself because this is my fault. I have not taken anything from the mansion except what I brought with me, the heart pillow and the music box which you gifted me. If this is the last time I am speaking to you, I want to say that I am sorry and..... I LOVE YOU.
By the time video ends, Vansh was crying. He was shocked by the truth after watching the video on second chip. He was angry, but not on Riddhima. She was not at fault. She was used badly. He was angry on Anupriya and Kabir. He was going to make them pay for their deeds.
He was missing his Sweetheart and thinking,
V: Sweetheart, why are you punishing yourself uselessly? It was not your fault. I can understand your pain as we both got betrayed. But I will respect your wishes. I will wait for you and after that no one will be able to separate us. Till that time, it is time to punish the perpetrators.
Next day, Vansh called Kabir and police in the house and kept the whole truth in front of them. Kabir and Anupriya got arrested for their crimes. After the police left, he turned to his family and shared the news about Riddhima with them. He also told them that he knows about the conspiracies which happened against her. He asked them what was her fault. He told them that he will not tolerate this ever again and after two months when Riddhima comes back, he wants them to treat her as his wife, not an outsider. Everyone was ashamed of their actions against her.
2 months later
Today was the day. Today Vansh received a letter from Riddhima containing address of a cafe saying she will be there everyday from 7pm to 10pm. If he wants to meet her, he can come there.
In the evening, he reached there. The employees there recognised him.
S: Hi. You are VR, RVR's husband right?
Vansh (thinking): RVR??? Ohh!!! Riddhima Vansh Raisinghania!!!
V: Yes. But how do you know me? Who are you?
S: My name is Sarah. RVR is my friend. She told everyone here about you. She comes here every evening as a singer. She has been waiting for you these two months. She will be happy. Actually let's surprise her. Can you sit on that table? It's hidden from the stage but stage us visible from there. You can see her and after she finishes her song, you can meet her.
V: Great idea. I have never heard her sing do this is a great opportunity. By the way, why do you call her RVR and not her name?
S: She never told us her real name. She told us RVR makes her feel connected to you, so she decided to use that. Okay, she is coming in few minutes. You go and sit on that table. Shall I send something to eat or drink?
V: Just some lime juice. Thanks.
Sarah goes from there. After what feels like an eternity, Riddhima comes on stage.
R: Hey guys!!! I know you all have been waiting for me. Today, I will be singing a song that is very close to my heart because I fell like it conveys my situation perfectly. So here it is.
She closes her eyes and starts singing.
Pani da rang vekh ke
Pani da rang vekh ke
Pani da rang vekh ke
Ankhiyan jo hanju rul de (hanju: tears)
Ankhiyan jo hanju rul de
(Ankhiyan jo hanju rul de)
Mahiya naa aaya mera
Mahiya naa aaya
Mahiya naa aaya mera
Maahiya na aaya
Ranjhna na aaya mera
Mahiya naa aaya
Mahiya naa aaya mera
Ranjhna na aaya
Ankhaan daa noor vekh ke
Ankhaan daa. noor vekh ke
Akhiyan cho hanju rul de
Akhiyan cho hanju rul de
Akhiyan cho hanju rul de
Kamli ho gayi tere bina
Aaja raanjhan mere
Kamli ho gayi tere bina
Aaja raanjhan mere
Baarish barkha sab kuch beh gayi
Aaya ni jind mere
Baarish barkha sab kuch beh gayi
Aaya ni jind mere
Ankhaan da noor vekh ke
Ankhaan da. noor vekh ke
Ankhiyan cho hanju rul de
Ankhiyan cho hanju rul de
Ankhiyan cho hanju rul de
Kothe utte behke ankhiyan milounde
Na jaana hume tu kabhi chhod
Tere utte mar di
Pyaar tenu kar di
Milega tujhe na koi aur
Tu bhi aa sabko chhod ke
Tu bhi aa sabko chhod ke
Meri ankhiyan cho anju rul de
Ankhiyan cho anju rul de
Paani da rang vekh ke
Paani da rang vekh ke
Paani da rang vekh ke
Ankhiyan cho anju rul de
When she opens her eyes, she sees Vansh in front of her. She is shocked. He simply takes her hand and takes her to his seat and hugs her.
V: Sweetheart, why did you leave me? Now I won't let you go away from me. You are my life. I love you.
R: I love you too.
And they lived happily ever after.
Seher Hone Ko Hai
