With sunrays peeping into the rooms, he finally woke up from his peaceful slumber. No amount of alcohol, pain killers or sleeping pills gave this peaceful sleep which he got after learning that his Sweetheart is coming back home with him.
After quickly getting ready he and Angre visited her apartment.

She opened the door and greeted Angre with a smile and ignored him. Though it hurt him but still he was ok with it as he wasn't ready to take any risk and anger her.

Riddhima: Mr Raisinghaniya! mere kuch terms and conditions hai. Agar aapko un sab cheezon se koi issues nahi hai toh me Chalne ke liye taiyar hun else nahi.

Vansh: Theek hai. Kya hai tumhare conditions?

Ridhhima:
1. Me vahan kisi ki biwi, bahu ya bhabhi banke nahi aa Rahi. Sirf aur sirf ek resident doctor banke aa rahi hun. Mere apni privacy aur confidentiality hai. Isliye koi bhi family member except Sia mere schedule aur kaamo me interfere nahi karega. Aur me bhi apne pateint ke alava kisi ke kaam me involve nahi hongi.

2. Me poora din VR mansion me as a resident doctor apna time nahi bitaa sakti. Mere doosre work commitments bhi hai. Isliye me Mittal hospitals ke Mumbai branch me apna practice continue karungi. Par Haan iska Sia ke treatment pe koi asar nahi hoga. I assure you that.

3. Me vahan kisi bhi staff ya family members pe bharosa nahi kar sakti. Isliye unke haath ka khaana ya paani me kuch bhi nahi consume karungi. Apna khaana ke intezam me khud hi kar lungi.

After hearing all these demands of hers, Vansh's face turned pale. He understood that she is not there to give him a second chance. Instead it was for Sia's treatment. Before he could speak up Angre called him outside sensing a scope of another argument.

Vansh: Angre suna nahi usne kya kaha??

Angre: Boss aap please meri baat suniye. Mene kal unhe kaafi convince karne ki koshish ki par vo tabhi maani jab Sia ki treatment ki baat aayi. Toh mujhe Maan na pada.

Vansh: Iska matlab Sia theek hote hi yeh vapis aa jayegi.

Angre: Boss Sia raaton raat recover nahi hogi. Usko minimum 6 mahine lagenge apne pairon pe khade hone ke liye. Aur yeh baat bhabhi bhi jaanti hai. Isliye toh unhone Sia ke alava doosre patients ko attend karne ki bhi sharth rakhi.

Vansh: matalab?

Angre: Boss aapke paas minimum 6 mahine hai cheezein fix karne ke liye. Toh abhi bhabhi jo bol rahi hai aap uss baat ko silently Maan lo. Baaki kya karna hai hum baad me decide karte hai.

After coming back to Riddhima, Vansh agreed to her terms and conditions disheartened.

Angre: Vo kal subah 8 baje hum apne private jet me jayenge. Aap 7 baje ready rehna.

Riddhima nodded and said bye to Angre.

Before Vansh could say something, she closed the door on his face.

She called Sejal and Siddharth and asked them to meet in the cafe.

Sejal: What? No way. Tum kahi nahi jaane vali. Sid please samjhao.

Sid: Sejal shaant ho jao please. Use baat karne do.

Ridhhima: Sejal! It's about Sia's treatment. Varna me kabhi jaati hi nahi.

Sejal: Jo bhi ho Riddhi. Vo poori family tumhare khoon ke pyaase hai, aise akele hum thodi jaane de sakte. Tumne unko bataya? Hume toh mana logi. Par unka kya?

Sid: Sejal please mujhe baat karne do.
Sid: Riddhima! Are you sure about this?

She nods as Yes.

Before Sejal speaks up, Sid interrupts.

Sid: Theek hai. But hamara ek aadmi VR mansion me Nazar rakhega, for your safety. And me apna ek car bhej Raha hun tumhare liye. Tum usi se travel karogi.

Ridhhima: Theek hai Sid! Tum dono bas unko handle kar lena.

Me kal subah 7 baje niklungi.

Sejal(half heartedly): Theek hai! Pahunchte hi Hume call kar dena.

She hugs them and bids adieu

Next Day Morning

Riddhima boards the private jet along with Angre and Vansh. Vansh makes a space near him so that she can seat but she ignored him and chose to sit in a corner seat. She just plugged her earphones and closed eyes ignoring the surroundings around her.

VR Mansion
The family members were excited to welcome Riddhima (except Ishani and Chachi). Dadi was preparing Arti ki thaal to welcome back Riddhima and also ensured that all her favourite dishes are cooked.
Hearing the car's sound, the whole family was waiting in the door steps, Dadi couldn't hold her excitement and went and hugged Ridhhima.

Riddhima just froze with this action of her but before she could reciprocate, all the happenings came into her mind. She signalled Angre to detach her. Vansh was shocked with this coldness. He knew she hated him a lot and didn't want to talk to him, but he never thought in his wildest dreams that she would behave so coldly with Dadi.

After all, he can't blame her either. She just supported him even though she never wanted to do so. She always felt there is something he missing out, but he refused to accept it. Only if he obeyed his Dadi things wouldn't have been this bad.
Before Dadi could cup her face, she flinched back shocking everyone except Angre.

Even Though he too was involved in this half heartedly, he loved how she is responding to these Raisinghaniyas.

Riddhima: Angre Sia Kahan hai? Mujhe leke chalo uske paas.

Angre takes her towards the manson, when dadi interrupts.

Dadi: Riddhima Beta! Ruko Arti karne do mujhe!

She signals Angre.

Angre: Dadi aap andar chaliye please.

Dadi: Par Voh...

Angre: Dadi please...

Riddhima enters placing her left foot inside the mansion shocking everyone including Vansh. He knew how much she respected all these traditions but she just not being bothered about all these was creating some weird sensations in him.

Don't he have any second chance? Has she moved on? Does she hate him to this extend?
