Riddhima looked at the people infront of her dumbfounded
How could they refuse to recognise her
She did so much for them
She agree she entered the mansion as a spy but she never hurted anyone physically
Instead she was the one who got hurt the most both emotionally and physically
She took bullets,
She was attacked
She was humiliated
She stood as a shield for this family and this man
And how easily he introduced another women as his wife
Riddhima eyes watered seeing him smirking at her.
The reporters were bad mouthing about her but he did nothing to stop them
Oh why would he do that
Perhaps he had paid them to humiliate her
One of the reporters asked her
R1: maam, who are u?
But she was not in a state to answer anything
She was way too broken and numb
Suddenly a loud voice came from behind
SHE IS MRS RIDDHIMA VIHAAN RAI SINGHANIA
Everybody turned and gasped to see carbon copy of vansh rai singhania standing at the door, the only difference being the beard
Vihaan took out his phone, connected it to the projector and played the video of his and riddhima's marriage
(Here when dadi brought riddhima back from outhouse, she made riddhima and vihaan married with all the rituals)
Vihaan kept a hand on riddhima's shoulder and wiped her tears
Bending down he whispered in her ear
Vi: iam always there for you riddhima
Relax, stay strong
Vi: sorry ladies and gentlemen actually my wife has never met my twin brother and his family thats why she misunderstood the whole situation.
The reporters started clicking riddhima and vihaan's pictures praising how good they were looking as a couple
Vihaan signalled his body guard to lead the media out.
As the media was out, vansh came forward and held vihaan's collar
Before he could shout at him, vihaan played the video of riddhima being tortured in the house
Vansh looked at he projector shocked
His family was torturing her under his nose and he had no idea
Suddenly a loud scream came from sia's room
Everyone rushed to check her.
Knowing what family drama is going to take place, Vihaan held riddhima's hand and took her to his room
Making her sit on the bed, he came with first aid kit and started cleaning her wounds
Vi: iam soo sorry riddhima
Because of vansh and this family you had to bear soo much
But trust me, iam with you
Whenever you will need me, you will find me right by your side
I will be there with you like your shadow
Riddhima looked at him with teary eyes
She sat on his lap and hugged him tightly , crying uncontrollably
Letting out the pain that had been feeling since the last few day.
Vihaan caressed her hair lovingly, whispering soothing words to her.
Tried due to crying, she fell asleep in his arms.
Vansh ran down the stairs after listening about riddhima's innocence from sia.
He found her nowhere
Seeing a servant he asked him
V: have u seen riddhima?
S: who riddhima sir?
V: i know i told you all to pretend but stop this act now
Tell me where she is?
S: vihaan sir took her to his room.
Vansh ran to vihaan room to see riddhima sleeping in vihaan's arm
He was about to call her name but vihaan showed him his hand asking him to shut up as riddhima was tired and sleeping.
Making riddhima lye on the bed gently, vihaan tugged her with a blanket
Harshly holding vansh's hand, he dragged him to the hall
Vi; what the hell is your problem?
V: why the hell didn't you tell me that dadi got you two married?
Vi: i called you that day, but as soon as i took riddhima's name you cancelled the call.
V: she is my wife
Vi: excuse me
One sec
Vihaan took out his phone and showed him the headlines
Vi: what does these headlines say?
Oh yaa, vansh rai singhania introduces wife ahana rai singhania
Sliding the news feed he read another headline
Vi: vihaan rai singhania and his wife riddhima vihaan rai singhania, what a lovely couple.
V: all this is non sense
She is my wife
I will give all the proofs to media
Ishani, give me all the pictures That i told you to hide
I: bhai...woh... i burnt those
Vansh looked at her shocked
Coming forward he slapped her hard across the face
I: bhaii
V; how dare you, i asked you to hide them
Why the hell did you burn those?
Now how will i prove that riddhima is my wife
No
No
I will call the media again tomorrow and introduce riddhima as my wife
Vi; Mr vansh rai singhania, what will you tell the media, that you introduced another women and were refusing to recognise your very own wife because of your baseless revenge
You don't have any proof that she is your wife
But i certainly have proof that she is my wife.
V: she loves me
Vi: really?
After what you did with her today
I really doubt that
V: VIHAAAN
VI: don't shout
She is my wife now
Dare anyone try to misbehave with her
Iam not vansh who would quietly see his wife being humiliated and tortured
If anyone dared to harm her, they would see the worst of me
Ahana rolled her eyes hearing him
Suddenly she felt a piercing pain in her shoulder and cried out
Vihaan had thrown his pocket knife at her
Vi: iam sure iam clear now mrs ahana vansh rai singhania
Saying soo vihaan walked to his room and shut the door at vansh's face.
Next morning:
Riddhima opened her eyes
Events of last night roaming infront of her eyes
A lone tear escaped her eyes
Vi: good morning doll
Riddhima looked at vihaan who was sitting on the sofa smiling at her
R: good morning
Vi: new day
New beginnings
And the old strong and fierce riddhima
Riddhima let out a sad chuckle hearing him
Vihaan came near her and sat down on his knees infront of her
Vi: riddhima
Can i say something?
R: hmm
Vi: i know you have been betrayed in love twice
And now you probably even the word love
Riddhima
I
I
I really love you
I want to see you happy always
You know we are married
I want a chance riddhima
I want to give this marriage a chance
I know you are scared and devastated
Trust me
Iam nothing like vansh
You know I trusted you since day one
I wanted to protect you from all evils
If i had even the slightest idea that vansh would do something like this , i would have never let you go back to him
Thankfully i came yesterday to show vansh how much this family tortured you and saw all the drama
I couldn't stand everyone back mouthing about you
You have protected and loved everyone
I want to be the one to protect and love you
Will you give me a chance
I don't expect you to answer right away
You can take your time
If you want to go back to vansh , i would not stop you
Your happiness is my happiness
Riddhima looked at him overwhelmed
She knew from day one that he loved and trusted her
No one had taken care of her like he did
She also want to give chance to this marriage but she is afraid to get heartbroken again
Vi: relax riddhima
Don't overthink plz
Do one thing, take a warm shower, it will freshen you up.
Riddhima quietly went to shower.
The warm water really did help her calm her nerves
Everyone had used her for their purpose and in name of love
But no anymore
She would be selfish now
She want to be the old riddhima
The one that used to be carefree and happy
The one one who was fierce and strong
Not the one who falls weak in name of love.
Riddhima closed the shower and stepped out
Wrapping the towel around herself she realised that she has no clothes to wear
She chuckled inwardly
Had they given her clothes to that ahana too.
Riddhima slightly opened the bathroom door and called out for vihaan
Vi: yes doll?
R: no clothes
Vi: don't worry i have asked my body guard to bring clothes for you.
Everyone was sitting on the breakfast table sad
Cursing themselves for what they did with riddhima
They saw a man coming inside with what seemed like hundred dresses
I: who are u?
T: iam tarun, vihaan bhai's bodyguard
He asked me to bring clothes for riddhima bhabhi
V: she is not your bhabhi
T; beg to differ sir, she is vihaan bhai's wife
So basically she is my bhabhi
Saying to tarun went to vihaan's room and knocked
Vi: great thanks tarun
T: seriously bhai, now you will thank me.
Vi: such a drama queen you are tarun
Both laughed
Vihaan took the clothes inside and placed them on bed
Vi: doll, iam going outside
You pick dress of your choice and get ready
Vihaan came in the hall to see everyone sitting at the breakfast table
D: vihaan, come have breakfast
Vi: no thank u mrs indrani Rai Singhania
Me and my wife are going out for breakfast
V: you can't take her out
Vi: and who are u to tell us what to do and what not to do?
V: iam her husband
Vihaan rolled his eyes and said
Vi: angre, show your BOSS the clips of the conference plz, seems like he is having short term memory loss
Vansh was about to answer him back but he was stunned to see riddhima who walked out of the room dressed in a short black dress
Riddhima came near vihaan and asked
R: shall we leave
Vi: sure
Before vansh could say anything both were already gone.
Sitting in the car riddhima asked
R: where are we going?
Vi: first we will go for breakfast
Then we will go to the doctor
Your bullet wound as well as other wounds need to be examined
Then we can go anywhere you want to go
Riddhima smiled seeing his concern
Vansh was playing with his food when suddenly he heard sia happy voice
S: oh wow
V: what is it sia?
But sia ignored him
Ishani took the phone from her hand and forwarded it to vansh
It was a picture of vihaan and riddhima
They were sitting in a cafe having breakfast
And vihaan was wiping something near her lips
There was another picture where vihaan and riddhima were walking and vihaan was holding riddhima's hand tightly
The pictures were taken by a journalist who posted them on social media with the caption
#Rihaan, the perfect couple
V: what the hell is this rihaan?
I: its a combination of riddhima and vihaan name.
Vansh smashed the phone on the floor angrily
Ahana went to the guest and took out her phone
Sadly even after being mrs Vansh Rai Singhania infront of the whole world she was forced to stay in guest room
Everything was going great but that sia had to wake up yesterday only and prove riddhima innocent but no worries, she will reach vansh's room soon
Ahana smirked seeing pictures of her and vansh on social media but her smirk vanished reading the comments
Vansh Rai Singhania didn't find anyone else
She looks like a makeup market
Riddhima vihaan Rai Singhania is more beautiful , she is a natural beauty .
This ahana seems nothing but a trophy wife
Ahana fumed with anger reading all the comments
Vihaan and riddhima sat down in the doctor's cabin
The doctor started examining riddhima's wounds
She looked at vihaan suspiciously and asked him to wait outside
D: riddhima, are u being abused by your in laws?
Dont be scared we can help you
You can file a case against your husband
She said this looking at vihaan disgustingly , who was standing outside the cabin,
Riddhima looked at vihaan loving and said in a soft voice
R: he is not the abuser
HE IS THE SAVIOUR
Doctor nodded and called vihaan inside again
D: mr vihaan, its good that her wounds are healing quickly
She would be absolutely fine in a few days
Vi: thank u doctor
Both walked out
Vi: so where do u want to go next?
R: i want to go to the hospital where i used worked
I will submit my documents again and apply for job
Vihaan smiled seeing her trying to get back to her normal life.
After submitting riddhima documents, vihaan started driving towards the outskirts of city
R: where are we going?
Vi: to our home
Riddhima looked him surprised
Riddhima gasped seeing the beautiful house infront of her
It was not as big as vr mansion but it had a homely feel and serenity
R: this is your home?
Vi: our home
Riddhima smiled hearing him
Riddhima walked inside adoring the beautiful house
She entered the bedroom to see a big portrait of her and vihaan
R: its soo beautiful
Vi: you like it?
R: i love it.
Vihaan brought riddhima to the balcony and sat beside her.
R: vihaan?
Vi: yes?
R: what do u love about me?
Vi: i love the way you breath
I love your innocence
I love your heart as it is filled with love for everyone
I love your eyes because there is always a hope in them
I love your lips because they carry a smile no matter what life throws at you
I love your hands because they always help others
I love your feet because wherever you place them, that place becomes homely
I love your vibe because it is full of positivity
I love your soul because its pure
Riddhima looked at him with tearful eyes
She sat on his lap and hugged him tightly
R: iam ready to give our marriage a chance vihaan
Vi: sachii
Vihaan asked like a kid
Riddhima nodded her head smiling
Vihaan hugged her tightly
It was night when both returned home
Riddhima had already fallen asleep
Vihaan picked her up and moved inside VR Mansion but to his surprise everyone was sitting in the hall waiting for them
Vihaan was about to move to their room but vansh shouted at him to stop
Riddhima stirred in her sleep and nuzzled her face in vihaan face
Vansh felt a pang of jealousy run through him seeing riddhima in vihaan's arm snuggling
Vi: can't you lower your voice
She is sleeping
A: such a gold digger she is
Left one and went to another
Vi: excuse me, she is not the one who snatched someone's else husband
And for your information you are the one who is being paid to pretend to be a wife
So you are the real gold digger
And if you all have this much problem with her then I don't mind moving out with her from this house.
V: nooo
You two will not go anywhere
And you ahana, keep your mouth shut
Vihaan rolled his eyes at there drama and took riddhima to his room.
Tugging her in bed, he was about to move to the couch but riddhima held his hand
Vi: you are awake?
R: they were screaming way too loud
Where are u going?
Vi: sofa
R: why?
Are u scared to sleep next to me?
Don't worry, i don't bite
Vi: really?
But you do scratch very hard
Vihaan said remembering how she scratched hid finger when he had handcuffed them together
R: so who told you to handcuff me with you?
Vihaan winked at her
Vi: i love irritating you dollar biwi
Both burst out laughing
Vi: sleep
R: iam not sleepy now
Vi: do u want to watch a movie?
R: yes
You set up a movie
I will bring pop corns from kitchen
Riddhima entered the kitchen and started making pop corn
Sweetheart
Riddhima turned to see vansh standing there
She looked here and there
R: are u talking to me?
V: who else will i call sweetheart riddhima
R: your wife
V: sweetheart
R: listen Mr Rai Singhania
Its not nice to call your brother's wife as sweetheart
V: you are my wife
R: and what proof do u have that iam your wife
V: riddhima i know you are angry but plz give me a second chance
R: second chance?
Didn't i give you a second chance when i fell in love with you despite knowing that you are a criminal
Didn't i give u a second chance when i burnt every proof that proved you guilty
Didn't i give you a second chance when you said you loved me opos sorry showered fake love on me
Didn't i give u a second chance when you told me that you were the one trying to kill me with ahana
Didn't i give you a second chance when you left me alone at the resort
You tell me, if sia wouldn't have woken up would you have been standing here asking for second chance
V; riddhima
R: stay away from me
I hate to admit that there was a time when i loved you
V: you still love me
R: after what you did? Dream on
Saying so riddhima walked away
Vihaan and riddhima sat down and vihaan started the movie
Riddhima gulped realising that it was a horror movie
Riddhima hid her face in vihaan's chest whenever any horror scene used to appear
Vihaan laughed at her cuteness
Riddhima placed her head on his chest and gradually drifted into deep slumber
Vihaan wound his arms around her and he too slept
Someone opened their door with spare key and entered inside
It was vansh
He fumed seeing them sleeping hugging eachother
He tried to remove vihaan hand from riddhima waist but his grip was damn tired
Dejected vansh walked out
As vansh left, vihaan opened his eyes
He kissed riddhima's forehead lightly and hugged her tightly.
Next morning:
Riddhima roamed around the house searching for vihaan but found him no where
R: sia have u seen vihaan?
S: he is in the kitchen
R: okay
Riddhima entered the kitchen to see vihaan trying to cook something
R: what are u doing vihaan
Vi: baking a cake
R: why so?
Vi: just felt like
R: should i help
Vi: yes plz
Vihaan brought and apron and made her wear it.
Vansh who came to drink water saw them and stood there staring them
Vihaan tried to get the sugar box down but in the process his hand touch the flour container and it fell on him
Riddhima burst into laughter seeing him fully covered with flour
Vihaan started coming near her
R: noooo
Vihaan pulled riddhima and shook his head making flour to fall on her.
R; vihaaaan
Vihaan laughed seeing her whining
Vansh burned in anger
A dangerous glint came across his eyes
In evening:
Everybody was sitting in the hall when angre came running
An: dadi....
D: what happened angre
An: boss...he met with an accident
He is no more
Everyone gasped hearing him
Riddhima's eyes watered hearing about vansh's death
Vihaan saw this and hugged her tightly trying to calm her down.
The next few days were hectic for all of them as they did vansh's last right
But they all were shocked beyond wits when the lawyer told them that vansh had donated his entire property to charity
Even vr mansion was to be auctioned
All started cursing vansh forgetting that they are bad mouthing about the dead
Riddhima cried silently seeing his selfish family complaining about his will.
Why did he love this selfish and obnoxious family soo much
Wasn't this the same family who stood by his side to betray her
Well they certainly didn't do all that for vansh
They did this because they all hated her and wanted her gone
Riddhima entered inside vansh room and caressed his clothes
Hugging them close to her heart she cried her heart out for him
He was not a bad man
He didn't deserve to die like this
And on top of that getting curses from the family he loved despite their multiple betrayals
Giving a final glance to his room riddhima walked out of vr mansion with vihaan, to never return back there.
6 months later:
Many things changed in these 6 months
The rai singhanias were doomed
Indrani rai singhania was working as a maid to make ends meet
Aryan was in jail for stealing and smuggling
Chachi and chachu were working as labourers
Ishani was begging on streets
Kabir and anupriya were rotting in jail
In short, karma hit them hard
Rihaan mansion:
Riddhima walked inside her home after hectic day at hospital to be greeted by sia
R: hi sia, when did u come?
S: just half hour ago
R: how are you and tarun?
Are u happy with him?
S: iam more than happy with him bhabhi
He the best husband ever
But of course not more than vihaan bhaiya
Riddhima blushed hearing her
R: acha chalo leave all this
Come on lets get to work
Sia winked at riddhima and they started working
At night:
Vihaan entered the house to see it completely engulfed in darkness
A cold fear ran down his spine fearing something bad might have happened to riddhima
Vi: doll?
Vihaan entered the room to see it completely decorated
In the centre of the room riddhima sat on her knees holding a ring in her hand
R: Mr vihaan rai singhania
You entered my life when was vulnerable to the point of breaking
You stood beside me and made me strong
You trusted me , loved me and cherished me
Making me the happiest women in the world
I love u soo much
Would you like to spend your entire life with me?
Vihaan sat down on his knees infront of her and kissed her hand
Vi: yes mrs riddhima vihaan rai singhania
I would love to spend my entire life even after life with you
I love u soo much
Both hugged eachother
Riddhima shyly came near him and pecked his lips
Cupping her face softly vihaan kissed her passionately pouring all his love in the kiss
R: make love to me vihaan
Vihaan picked her up and went to bed making love to her whole night.
Being tired riddhima was sleeping on his chest
Vihaan kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly
You are mine riddhima
All mine
No one can snatch you from me
Those who will try to do so
I will not hesitate to kill them
Just like i killed my brother
So who do u think is this with riddhima?
Is it vansh or vihaan
