A year later

In VR mansion...

It's evening time and like all day vansh just returned from his office and went to his room...

In vansh's room..

When vansh entered he saw riddhima was playing with a baby of eight months who was lying on the bed..

Riddhima (in baby language) - apko pata hai.. Apki mimi apse kitna pyar karti hai... Hmm.. Apki mama se bhi zyada.. Aur karu bhi kyu na.. Ap to ek dam apki mama ki tarha ho  ... Man karta hai apko apne pas rakh du humesha ke liya... Lekin.. Phir apki mama ake. Mimi ko pitti kare gi. .. Kyu ruhi... Rahegi na mimi ke pass  hum khub masti kare ge kyu...
(And tickled her tummy).. And both bursted into laughter....

Vansh was smiling....

Vansh- riddhima...

Riddhima (taking ruhi in her arms) - areee.. Vansh.. Kab ayega tum... Ajao.. And walked to him..

Vansh- ruhi.. Tumhare pass..

Riddhima (rocking her in arms) - wo.. Aj rudra aur senal ko ek important kam se jana tha.. Navi mumbai mai.. Issliye aj ruhi mera pas hai.. Tum office nikle phir sejal ayi.. Aur mane bhi rakh liya.. Dekho kitni khus hai..
Kyu baby.. (And nuzzeled hed nose).

Vansh- ha... Acha kiya... Riwi ko bhi bohot acha lage ga.. Ruhi ayi hai.. Doni ki itni banti jo hai ...

Vansh took ruhi in his arms..

Vansh- so.. Miss.. Ruhi arora.. Kase kast rahi hai apki din ... Apki mimi ke sath.. Apne buddy ko miss kiya.. Ya.. Bas riwi.. Aur mimi ke sath khel to rahi..

Ruhi gave a tooth less smile.. And grabbed vansh's spectacles..

Vansh- .. Nahi.. Ruhi.. Lag jaye gi apko..

Ruhi became annoyed.. And scolded vansh..

Ruhi to riddhima- miii... Pappppp.. Papppp... (Pointing to vansh)..

Riddhima laughed at her antics..

Vansh -hawww.. Ruhi.. Apne buddy ko.. Dat rahi ho.. Very bad...

At this ruhi pulled vansh's beards.. But they were not so big.. And were continuously slipping from her hands.. And being frustrated.. She ended up slapping vansh with her small hands...

Riddhima (taking her) - samjh gayi.. Ab ruhi gussa.. Hai..

At which ruhi noods her head..

Vansh - to yeh chocolate kon khayega..

Riddhima- tumhe... Kase pata..

Vansh- Aree.. Riwi ke liya laya tha.. Lekin ruhi choti hai na. Wo kha to nahi paye gi.. Lekin khel sakti hai.

And gave it to ruhi..

Later vansh went to washroom and riddhima went to dinning room with ruhi 

...

In the dinning hall..

All were present there.. Including the babies..

Riddhima- hello.. People.. Dekho.. Ap sabse milne kon aya hai...

Sia(smiling ) - areee... Yeh to ruhi hai..
And took her in arms...

Riwi- buzi niche sofa pe rakho na.. Mujhe khelna hai ruhi k sath..

And all started.. Chit chatting...

Riwi was only playing with ruhi.. He was not allowing shakshi Or adi to come near her..

Adi(annoyed) - bari mom.. Dekho na riwi ko hume khelna nahi de raha hai.

Riwi- mama.. Ruhi choti hai.. Agar adi ne use dara diya.

To adi- Tu chota hai.. Mujse. Chup reh..

Adi- bas 5 mahine.. Ka chota .. Chota nahi hota... Bari mom..

Riwi- nahi.. Ruhi meri hai.. Mama dekho na.

Riddhima- riwi.. Sabko do ruhi k sath khelna.. Warna mai leka chali jaugi ruhi ko room maii..

Riki being frightened... Agrees..

....

..

It was late at night....

And riddhima was pacing around the hall.. As there was no news of sejal and rudra.. Moreover.. Ruhi was a bit cranky.. Suddenly.. She wanted to sleep.. But only need her mama.. No one else...

Riddhima (tensed) - vansh.. Pls.. Ekbaar aur call karo na.. Rudra k phone pe.. 12:30 baj gaye hai..

Vansh- i have called riddhima rudra ne bola.. Wo log nikal gaye hai.. 1 ghante mai ajaye ga..

Riddhima- hm.

Suddenly riddhima's phone rang..

Riddhima- vansh ruhi ko pakro.. Mai dekhti hu kon hai..

And went to receive the call.. As it was of sejal..

Riddhima (worried) - kaha hai tu sejal.. Maii..

Other side..

Un know- hello.. Ma'am.. Mai city hospital se bol rahi hu.. Jinka yeh phone hai.. Unke car ka accident hogaya hai.. Unke sath jo the.. Wo on spot mar gaye hai.. Aur female patient zinda hai.. Lekin bohot critical condition hai.. Ap jaldi ajaeya..

Riddhima was in  satte if shock..

The phone fell from her hand..

Her legs became numb and she fell in the ground..

Vansh (worried) - riddhima.. Jaan... Kiska call tha.. Tum. Ase behave kyu kar rahi ho.. Riddhima (shaking her)

Riddhima (bursting into tears) - vaa.. Vansh... Accident... Rudra.. Sejal.. Mai.. Mai kya karu.. Vansh..

Vansh- riddhima... Kya hua hai.. Bolo mujhe..

Riddhima (crying) - unki car k aacci.. Accident hogaya hai vansh.. Rudra is no more.. Sejal is in cri.. critical condition vansh.. 😭😭😭

Vansh- riddhima get up.. We need to go.. We have to save sejal.. Get up riddhima..

..

....

In hospital..

Vansh.. Angre.. And riddhima entered the hospital.. With ruhi in riddhima's arms..

In reception

Anger- excuse me.. Ap bata sakte hai.. Sejal mathur kaha hai..

Receptionist- emergency ward..

All went to emergency ward..

In the cabin..

Sejal was lying in the bed.. With bandage.. And was in a terrible condition..

Riddhima couldn't control herself.. After seeing her only friend and sister in such a condition..

Vansh to dr- patient.. Thik to ho jaye gi na..

Dr- ap patient k kon..

Vansh- meri wife ki bahen hai..

Dr- I'm sorry sir.. But unka bachna.. Impossible hai.. She had a brain injury.. Aur unke rib cage k bones. Tutke. Lungs. Aur heart ko injured kar diya hai.. She only has a few mins.

Riddhima went to sejal and kissed her hands..

Riddhima ( softly) - seju.... Dekhi.. Teri riddhi.. Ayi hai..

Sejla opened her eyes..

Sejal(opening her oxygen mask) - ri.. Tu..

Riddhima-plss.. Kuch mat bol.. Sab thik ho jaye ga.. Hum best dr layega.. Mujhe.. Ruhi ko teri zarurat hai.. Uski ma ki zarurat hai..

Sejal- (whisper) riddhi.. Muj.. Mujse.. Wada kar.. Tu meri ruhi ko sone pas rakhegi.. Use... Ka.. Kabhi bhi.. Meri yad mat ane dena.. Plss.. Mai.. Tujhe apni jaan deka ja rahi hu.. Use anath mat hone dena humare traha.. Use.. Ma ka pyar dena.. Plsss.. Meri akhri khwaish hai..

Riddhima- chup kar.. Kuch nahi hoga tujhe.. Uski maa hogi na uske pass.. Kahi nahi jane dugi mai.. Tu ase nahi kar sakti.. Mai bat nahi karugi.. Samjhi.. Plss.. Seju.. Asa mat bol..
(And hugged her while crying) 😭😭

Sejal- wadha kar riddhi.. Meri ruhi ko.. Apni beti banayegi.. Plss..

Riddhima (hugging her) - I will.. Wada raha.. Plss.. Mujhe chor ke mat ja..

Sejal(whisper) - I will miss u..

Suddenly riddhima felt sejal's body went numb..

Riddhima (cupping sejal's face) - sejal.. Sejallll.. 😭😭..

And hugged her tightly...

Vansh closed sejal's eyes...

........

Riddhima was feeding ruhi...

Chachi- riddhima... Mai souch rahi thi.. Ki.. Kyu na hum ruhi ko.. Foster care bejhde.. Wo apne umar ke bacho k sath khus rahi gi..

Riddhima (not even looking at chachi..) She was still feeding ruhi..

Riddhima- kya maine... Apse kohi suggestion mangi chachi.. Nahi na.. So.. Plss.. Mind your own business.. 😬

Chachi- Aree.. Mai to tera bhale k liya bol rahi thi.. Tu riki ko kase dekhagi..
Iske sath..(pointing at ruhi)..

Ishani- chachi.. Sebse paheli bat uska nam hai.. Ruhi.. Aur riddhima vansh.. Dhyan rakh lega dono ka.. Aur ek bachi se apko itni kya problem.. Wase to ruhi ki umar ka soham (island's son) bhi hai.. Kohi prblm nahi hogi..

Chachi- lekin.. Riddhima to uski legal guardian bhi nahi....

Vansh- riddhima... Ruhi ki legal guardian hai.....

And walked toward riddhima..

Vansh (handing riddhima a legal doc) - maine ruhi ki legal custody humare nam kar deya hai.. Aj se mai aur riddhima rubi k parents hai.. Aur ruhi ka nam.. Hoga.. Ruhi vansh rai singhania......

To. Chachi- for your information chachi.. Mera property mai jitna jak ridhwik ka hai.. Utna.. Ruhi ka bhi hoga.. I hope ap bohot khus hogi.. Right (with sarcasm)..

Riddhima- thank you vansh...

Vansh (taking ruhi in his arms) -mai ruhi ka nam nahi badal na chata tha.. Wo uski ma bap ki pahechan thi. Lekin.. Mai janta hu.. Age chalkar.. Log use bohot bate suna sakte hai.. Issliye maine ruhi ka nam badal diya.. Ajse humare do baceh haim. Ek beta aur ek beti..

Riddhima hugged vansh..
