This OS will be after a few months, when Rio is in Virani house. Rio is still executing his plans to create rifts between the family.
One day,
A lavish celebration was underway at the Virani mansion. There were noises of laughter and music.
It was the baby shower of 3 of the Virani Bahus - Munni, Saloni and Vrinda as it was the 7th month of their pregnancy.
Everyone was in a great and happy mood. Tulsi was relieved amid the tensions over property division and some rifts between family members; finally, a day when everyone was happy and in a good mood.
Except for one person. Riyansh. He despised how happy everyone was. Especially Tulsi Maiyaa. The lady, his grandmother who killed his father and shot him with her own hands. The reason his whole childhood became a lie. Nobody cared about his father, this is why he turned out to be like this.
But today he was not in the mood to ruin things for the family, as it was one of those days he wanted a break.
As Riyansh was about to go, someone stopped him. It was Vaishnavi.
Vaishnavi: Where are you going Riyansh? Won’t you join everyone?
Rio: I have some urgent things to handle.
Vaishnavi: You are lying aren't you?!
Rio: Vaishnavi, please…
Vaishnavi: Come on!
Rio: You know I can't say no to you! But I really need to go...please try to understand...
Vaishnavi was not happy and she walked away. Rio ignored her anyway and went out. He decided to go on a long drive. He sat in the car and was about to start. But then he recalled how dull Vaishnavi looked when he said no.
Rio, annoyed parked the car and walked out of it. He started looking for Vaishnavi. Just then he heard a scream.
Rio: Samaira…
Rio quickly went inside the room and what he saw stunned him. He saw Samaira in a miserable condition and the sleeves of her pink lehenga were ripped. Her mascara was smeared due to tears as she begged the guy standing in front of her.
Samaira: Please spare me…
Guy: You are such a hot girl! I can’t let you go so easily! You will be mine! Only mine!
As the guy went another step towards Samaira, he felt a smack on his face. It was Riyansh.
Riyansh: HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY LITTLE SISTER?!
Riyansh started punching the guy who tried to force on his little sister. He hit him a lot and he begged for forgiveness but nothing was stopping Riyansh. He felt like killing that monster off.
Just then Nandini and Vaishnavi came rushing.
Samaira ran towards Nandini and hugged her crying.
Samaira: MOM!!!!
Nandini hugged her and just like Samaira, Nandini was shivering in fear. Her daughter almost faced what she had faced years back. The worst nightmare ever, something she will never wish on her own enemy, almost happened to her daughter.
Samaira: Chirag….. tried to force…. on me, but then Rio Bhaia.….came if not….
Samaira started crying even more and was uncontrollable. Her panic attack was triggered. Just then Parth and Ritik came to check in.
Riyansh: Ritik please call the police. This monster needs to be arrested right now!
Nandini and Vaishnavi took Samaira to her room. All these were witnessed by Tulsi. She went to console her dear granddaughter too.
At night,
Riyansh recalled whatever happened earlier. He still can't forget how he saw Samaira was in a miserable state, pleading and begging while the monster was trying to force on her. She is just a little girl, how can someone...
Riyansh recalled how he argued with Nandini months back that his father Ansh loved her and was practising his rights as her husband whereas today he realised his father did the same thing that the monster almost did today.
Riyansh was disgusted. By himself. How could he say those words to any woman?!
“It is love.”
For the first time, Riyansh hated himself. The fact he looked like his father, bothered him for the first time. He touched his face in anger.
“God, what have I done?!”
Riyansh immediately opened the drawer and he took out the photographs of Ansh. He took a lighter and burned them all.
“I will never be the shadow of Ansh Virani”
He again recalled the state he found Samaira in. Ever since he came to the Virani mansion he only developed a genuine sibling connection with Samaira as she was the only one who liked spending time with him for being Rio. He recalled how they would spend time over video games and Rio even taught Samaira how to code. He recalled that whenever he was a kid he always wanted a little sister unaware of his family situation. Samaira became the little sister he always wanted. Seeing her in that state today, awakened a new side of Riyansh.
Riyansh lay down as he had a long sleepless night reflecting on whatever misdeeds he had done for the past few months and how he ruined the peace of the Viranis.
Next day,
The Viranis were having breakfast together.
Just then Riyansh came.
Nandini: Rio…thank you for saving Samaira yesterday. Maa and Karan were right. You are not at all like your father. And I treated you so badly because of that. If you weren’t there…
Riyansh: Samaira is my sister. I should have killed off that guy.
Saloni: I am very shameful for what my cousin Chirag did. Bauji said he will ensure Chirag doesn't get bailed and serves his punishment.
Parth: It’s not your fault Saloni.
Tulsi: Riyansh, you have proved yourself yet again. What would have happened with Samaira, I can’t have imagined! I couldn't have gone through this trauma again! Thank you for proving that my decision to bring you here was right.
Riyansh: About that I have something to say.
I need everyone’s attention here.
Everyone heard.
Riyansh: Nandini Maa…was right…Tul…Dadi shouldn't have brought me back!
Karan: What are you saying Riyansh?
Riyansh: I have some confessions to make.
Riyansh shares with the whole family how the whole drama about Munni’s cousin Khusboo faking to be harassed by him was planned by him to be in good books and make Tulsi and others feel guilty. Then he also shared whatever he did to create rifts in the business too. He even confessed how he created misunderstandings between Parth and Vaishnavi.
Riyansh: Unfortunately, I have some of my father’s genes. I did horrible things. Things that are not worthy of forgiveness. I tried to break this very family that accepted me even though I was the son of a.… I am ashamed to even say that.
Riyansh went to Nandini.
Riyansh: I am very shameful and guilty for what my biological father did to you. And the words I told you months back were unacceptable. I don't deserve forgiveness for it. What you went through….I am very sorry…Instead of helping, I mocked you. I am sorry Nandini Maa.
Nandini was teary-eyed.
Riyansh went to Karan.
Riyansh: I am sorry Dad. I failed to prove that upbringing is higher than blood. You gave me a great upbringing, but I failed you. Instead, I was so blinded by revenge for someone who never deserved it. I am the son of a monster after all. I am a terrible person.
He then went to Tulsi. She looked at him upset.
Riyansh: Dadi…I am sorry I disappointed you. You trusted me so much! And I...I created differences between the family instead. I tried to break the harmony and bonding of the family. I was that one bad fish that spoiled the whole pond.
Tulsi: Riyansh, what you did was wrong! Very wrong! And you need to make up for it! But you are not a terrible person. By saving Samaira yesterday, you showed the difference between you and Ansh… Thank you for not turning out to be like your father. Maybe Karan’s upbringing had some effect on you so you do have some humanity in you. But it is also your heart. You are not a bad person. I am glad you turned out to be like Niyati, though you look like Ansh.
Riyansh hugs Tulsi and cries.
Riyansh: I am sorry Dadi. I really don't deserve the love from all of you. I took it for granted!!!
Tulsi consoles him.
Riyansh: I have figured out a way to make everything right. I have transferred all my shares back to Parth.
Parth: But Riyansh…
Riyansh pats on Parth’s shoulder.
Riyansh: You deserve it. In fact much more than this. You will bring Virani Industries and Bandej to higher heights than I ever could.
Just then Maharaj and another helper came down with suitcases for Riyansh.
Dev: Are you going for a holiday Rio?
Riyansh: I am going back to the USA. Forever. That is better for me and everyone. I don't deserve to stay here any longer after what I did.
Karan: But Rio?
Nandini: What will I tell Samaira?
Riyansh: I will talk to Samaira once she is better and over the trauma. She is mature enough and will understand her brother.
Nandini sighs.
Riyansh went to Vaishnavi who was crying. Riyansh opened the ring from his finger and passed it to Vaishnavi. He then put Vaishnavi’s hand on Parth’s.
Riyansh: You deserve a gem like Parth, Vaishnavi not a coal like me, Rio. I was the one who created misunderstandings between you two. Parth really loves you a lot Vaishnavi. He will keep you happier than I ever could. Please keep her happy always Parth.
Riyansh took the suitcases and he stepped out of the Virani mansion. Vaishnavi was teary-eyed as she cried. Tulsi was trying her best to control her emotions but she couldn't as she saw her grandson walk out. For the first time, Nandini and Parth felt a little bad for Riyansh, and this time they wanted him to stay. Karan was sad Riyansh was going but he was also proud that Riyansh did not let his upbringing go to waste fully.
Riyansh had one last look at the Virani mansion and the faces of all the family members for one last time. In these few months, they gave him so much love, but he took it all for granted. He didn't deserve it.
The end.
I had the idea of this OS in my mind for some time as I really don't want Riyansh to be like Ansh and prove that it is Karan’s upbringing over Ansh’s blood. Tried to align this OS based on the current track too.
