Chapter 12: The Past Revelation (Part-3) "The lovely and the ugly confessions!!!"
The episode starts with Sejal and Angre saying,
Sejal and Angre: A deal of 50 crores!
Aryan, Kabir and Sia were shocked.
Kabir: What? 50 Crore?
Sejal: Yes! It was deal worth 50 crore that made them apart forever.
Aryan: Please tell from the start. What happened after you both recorded their confessions? Just start from there.
Sejal: Yeah! So,
"Next day, I and Angre listened to both of their conversations at each other mobile. Vansh and Riddhima were both separately eager to know each other's feelings but no one was ready to initiate. They were not sure whether the other one feels the same or not. So, I and Angre decided that we will make them listen to this recording separately. So, that they can confess to each other easily.
Flashback starts,
Sejal went to Vansh's room.
S: Can I come in Vansh Sir!
V: Yeah come in. How many times should I have to tell you to call me just "Vansh"? Or probably "Vansh Bhai" If you like.
S: Ok Vansh bhai. From now on, I will call you Vansh Bhai. Even I will tell Riddhima too to call you "Vansh bhai" (smirking)
V(shocked): What? I just ask you to call me that. Not Riddhima.
S: Why?
V:(puzzled): Aaaaa...because aaa..
He was avoiding eye contact with Sejal. Sejal was smiling.
S:(cutting him): Because you love her. And you want to make her your life partener not your sister. Right?
V(dumbstruck): How..How do you know? What made you think like that?
S: First, I am very good at observing my surroundings and secondly, Angre told me about your last night confessions.
V: Soon, I am gonna kill this Angre!
S: You can kill him later. First, I am here to show you something. I hope you would be overjoyed listening to this.
Saying so, She played the recording of Riddhima's confession.
Meanwhile, In Riddhima's room, Angre using the same tricks as of Sejal, made Riddhima listen to Vansh's confession.
Both of them listened to each other's confession. They were teary eyed. These were happy tears as if they won the biggest battle of their lives. As if they had found peace.
Vansh thought to himself: I should confess my feelings to her. I think she will be at the pool side. I shouldn't waste time.
Riddhima thought to herself: Its the right time. I should confess my feelings. I am sure he will be at the poolside.
Thinking so, They both run towards the poolside. Both of them were happiest at the recent news they got. They wanted to reach to each other ASAP. They wanted to confess whatever they had in their hearts. Soon, they both reached the poolside and came from opposite doors. They looked at each other smiling. They stopped for a moment in their way, staring at each other and remembering each other's confession words. Ishq mein marjawan plays....Slowly, they started taking steps towards each other. Both were panting as they came running all through the mansion. They had tears in their eyes and big smile on their face. Soon, They came in front of each other and were trying to gather courage to speak. They both speak together.
R & V: I want to tell you something.
They smiled. They stopped waiting for other to speak. But when none spoke, they again spoke together,
R & V: I want to ask you something.
They both again smile. This time Riddhima spoke,
R: You tell first.
V: No, You ask First.
R: But....
V:(cutting her): Riddhima!!!!
R: Ok!
She took a long deep breath to gather courage and spoke,
R: Do You....Do You Love me?
Vansh smiled at her innocent question. But instead of replying, he again questioned,
V: Do YOU love me? (Stressing on YOU)
Riddhima started blushing and bowed down her head. Vansh smiled at her blush and with his hand, he lifted up her chin.
V: Look into my eyes. Do you love me?
Riddhima blinking her eyes, looked in his and nodded in yes. She had tears in her eyes. Vansh moved closer to her and whispered in her ears.
V:(in a husky, low voice): I Love you too Sweatheart!
Riddhima eyes widened. His closeness gave a chilling vibrations down her spine. Vansh moved back, taking her hands in his, he spoke,
V: I love you. I love you with all my heart and soul. You are my sweatheart. My love, My life. You are my everything. I love you Riddhima!
Saying so, He hugged her. His chin was on Riddhima's head. He wrapped her in his arms and Riddhima's wrapped her arms around him too. She spoke,
R: Vansh! I love you too. I never felt so special. Having you with me, is the biggest happiness of my life. Your love completes me Vansh. You complete me. Riddhima is nothing without her Vansh. My Vansh!! You are mine. Just mine.
V: Yes! I am yours. Always yours. And no one can separate you from me. You are mine. Just mine.
Saying so, he broke the hug and Cupping her face, he kissed her forhead. She closed her eyes. Tears roll down her cheeks. Even Vansh had tears in his eyes. They fused their foreheads together with their nose touching and holding each others hands into a hand lock.
Angre and Sejal were witnessing all this from a far away. Angre was smiling and Sejal had teary eyes.
Flashback ends.
Everyone was smiling.
Aryan: Now You are confusing me. In reality, you start speaking about 50 crores and giving us flashbacks of their confessions. When are you going to tell? Do you even want to tell or not?
Sejal: Have patience Aryan! I am telling. She started again,
"After their confessions, they both started spending time together. Then, Due to Riddhima's college and Vansh's business, they started to get busy. Vansh had a deal with one of his business associates. The deal worth 50 crores. But there was so much danger in the deal. Vansh told it to Riddhima too as he used to share everything with her. He wanted to propose her after the deal gets done and he gets 50 crores. Here, One day, Riddhima came back from college. She was extremely disturbed. I asked her many times about the reason but she was not willing to tell. I thought it might be because of his uncle or maybe studies stress. But she spoke nothing. I told Vansh too about this. Vansh asked her but she diverted the topic always saying that she is worried for him. But I was not satisfied. There was something fishy about her. She started avoiding Vansh. Vansh thought it to be Riddhima's concern towards his safety. Vansh also started avoiding her to keep her away from danger. Then came the day of the deal. And As always, Vansh won it. He won that business deal and got 50 crores. Everyone was so happy including Riddhima. We wanted to celebrate and even Vansh wanted to plan a surprise for Riddhima. He was going to propose her that night. Riddhima got some work, made an excuse and went out. We made all the preparations for the party and turned off the lights of the mansion to surprise her. Everyone hid behind pillars. Riddhima came and as I was standing near the entrance , I listened to her words,she said......
Flashback starts,
All the lights of the mansion was switched off. Riddhima entered the mansion, panting. She started speaking to herself,
R: Where is everyone? Why are the lights off? I think its the right time. I should do my work fast before someone catches me. If anyone caught me then it would be a big disaster. I should hurry up.
She ran upstairs towards Vansh's room.
Ishani who was standing near Sejal, whispered,
I:(whispering) Where did she go?
S(whispering): I don't know. Maybe finding Vansh bhai.
Aftersometime, Riddhima came downstairs pulling something with her. She came in the center of the hall and suddenly, lights switched on.
Everyone: Surprise!!!!!!
The mansion was beautifully decorated and everyone was present in Mansion Looking Excitedly towards Riddhima. Suddenly, Sejal looked at the thing riddhima was carrying with her. It were two big suitcases.
S: What is this Riddhima? Where are you going?
Riddhima was standing there shocked.
A: What are you doing with these suitcase?
I: If I am not wrong these are the same suitcases in which Vansh bhai brought the money he won in the deal. Right?
S: Riddhima! What are you doing with it?
Riddhima was quiet. She was shcoked and wasn't able to speak anything.
I: Were you going to steal it? Seriously Riddhima?
S: What are you saying Ishani? Riddhima will never do such thing. Riddhima! Tell us. What are you doing with these bags?
Dadi: You are accusing my Riddhima for no reason. First, check the bags then reach to a decision. Riddhima beta! You tell. What is in the bags?
All this while, Vansh was also quiet. Riddhima looked at Vansh. He was still.
R: Dad...Dadi!! I...I...I was..I can...I..
I: Speak Riddhima!
A: Let me check the bags first.
He was going towards the bags when Vansh stop him
V: Stop Angre!
Angre looked at him waiting for his command.
A: What?
V: She is not a thief that you are checking her bags.
Saying this, Vansh came and stood in front of Riddhima. Riddhima was looking at him with horror and puzzled looks. She was trembling with fear.
V: What is in the bags Riddhima? (He asked politely)
Riddhima didn't speak. She bowed down her head, shivering.
Vansh staring her, moved toward the bag and opened its zip. The bag's lid opened and money bundles came out of it.
Everyone was shocked. Vansh looked at Riddhima in a shocked way.
I: Look! I told you! This is the same money. Those 50 crores. She was running away with the money.
S: Stop it Ishani!
She went to Riddhima and held her by her arms.
S: Riddhima! Tell me? What is all this? Where were you taking this money? Were you....were you going steal it?
Riddhima looked back in her eyes totally shocked. It was unbelievable for her. Her own friend also thought that she was stealing that money. She spoke nothing and again bowed down her head as if she had nothing to say. Sejal's grip on her arms losened. And she moved back. Next, Dadi came to Riddhima.
D: Riddhima beta! Why are you not speaking anything? Please Beta tell us. Answer their questions Riddhima.
Riddhima spoke nothing. She was extremely scared and worried. She was sweating and had tears in her eyes. She looked at dadi and then, looked in other direction to avoid her gaze. Dadi became disappoined.
D: Riddhima! You are disappointing me now.
Ishani who was fuming with anger came to her and held her firmly,
I(angerily): Are you deaf? We are asking something? WHERE WERE YOU TAKING THIS MONEY? WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?
She jerked her with force. Riddhima stumbled but Vansh held her by her wrist.
V(Anger): Enough Ishani! Let me speak now.
Riddhima looked at Vansh. She was standing still. Again Vansh came and stood in front of her.
V:(stern): Will you speak something Riddhima?
Riddhima closed her eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks.
V(angrily): JUST SPEAK GODDAMMIT!!!
He kicked the sofa in frustration. Riddhima got more scared. He took a deep breath and again came, held her firmly by her arms.
V(angrily): Look into my eyes. Riddhima I am asking you to look into my eyes.
Riddhima looked in his eyes. She was crying continuously but was not able to speak anything. She gathered a little courage just to say,
R: Vansh! I can't tell you anything. Please let me go.
Vansh was extremely frustrated. He pulled out his gun and put it on his own head.
V: I will count till 3. If you didn't answer my question, I will shoot myself.
R(shocked and puzzled): Vansh! No. What are you doing? Have you gone mad?
V: 3...
R(panicking): Vansh! Stop! Vansh please stop!
V: 2...
R: Vansh No! (Shout)
V: 1...
He pressed the trigger but Riddhima held his hand in upward direction. The bullet hit the bulb in the ceiling. She snatched the gun from his hand and threw it on the floor.
R(shout): Have you gone mad? What were you doing? If something had happened to you then....
V(Shouts too): Then what? I will again shoot myself if you didn't speak Riddhima. I want my answers!!!
R:(calming herself and took a long breath): Fine. Ask whatever you want.
V(stern): I will ask you simple three questions and I want truth. Only truth.
Riddhima nodded in yes.
V: 1. What were you doing with these bags?
R(emotionless): I was....I was taking away these bags out of VR mansion.
V: Why?
R: I can't tell you.
V: I asked Why?
R: I wanted this money! (Looking in his eyes) Yes! I was stealing it. I was running away with these bags. And..I did it for myself.
Everyone was shocked. Vansh was extremely angry.
V: 2. All this time, were you behind my money only?
Riddhima was shocked.
R: Vansh I...
V(cutting her, spoke in a loud voice): YES OR NO!!!!
R: (emotionless): Yes!
Vansh became more angry as if volcanoes were erupting out of him.
V: Do you love me?
Riddhima started crying bitterly held him by his arms.
R: Vansh please! Please listen to me? I can explain. Give me a chance please Vansh. You are thinking me wrong. I was stealing but I....
V(loud): Have you ever loved me?
R: Vansh!!
V: YES OR NO????
He freed himself.
R:(loud): Yes Vansh! I love you. I love you alot!
V: Lie! You are lying Riddhima. You never loved me. You were just behind my money. You never ever loved me.
R: This is not true Vansh!
She tried to hold his arms again but he pushed her.
V: Stay Away!
R: Vansh! Atleast listen to me once. I was not cheating on you. I know I was stealing this money. I wanted it but My love is not fake Vansh!
Vansh stumbled and fell on the floor.
I: Bhai!!
R: Vansh!
She received a tight slap from Dadi.
D: Love? This is your love Riddhima? You were running away with money deceiving your Vansh and you call it love?
R: Dadi...I....
D: Don't call me Dadi. From today, You are my nothing. You cheated my Vansh. He loved you alot. He changed himself just for you. What did you give him in return? Betrayal?
R: Please don't say this dadi.
Dadi moved away. Riddhima in a panic went to Sejal.
R: Sejal! You know me. Please atleast you listen to me once.
Sejal didn't speak anything. She was in complete shock.
She went to Angre and Ishani but of them also didn't respond. Then, she went to Vansh. He was sitting on the floor on his knees, completely broken. His eyes were filed with tears. Riddhima sat down on the floor and cupped his face,
R: Vansh. Look at your Riddhima once. Please trust me.
Vansh looked in her eyes. His eyes were filled with anger, rage and pain. He pushed her away.
V(loud): Don't touch me!!You are cheater!! You have cheated me!! What had I not given you that you needed this money? I had loved you!! I changed myself for you!!! I trusted you!! But you broke it!! You broke my trust Riddhima!! You broke me Riddhima! You are not my Riddhima. Wasn't my love enough for you? What was my love lacking that you stoop so low? Don't you dare come near me!! I don't want to see your face! Get out of my sight now! You are fake! Your love is FAKE! All the emotions were FAKE! This face of yours was also FAKE!!!
R: I am sorry Vansh! I have no other option. I don't want to hurt you. Please forgive me Vansh! My love is not Fake!!
Riddhima was crying bitterly. Sejal was also crying. Ishani approached her and grabbing her hand, she made her stand,
I: You are a blo*dy cheater. You cheated my Vansh Bhai. I had a doubt on you from day 1. The people like you are always behind money. I thought that you made my bhai smile so you are perfect for him. But you showed your reality. You are a cheap gold digger!! Girls like you only know to tempt men and then run away with there money.
Riddhima looked at her stunned.
R(stunned): Ishani!! What rubbish are you speaking???
I: Shut up!!! (To Angre) Please call police now. I won't let her go easily. Take these bags inside and call police.
R: Are you mad Ishani?
Angre was about to call police when Riddhima pushed Ishani and grab the gun from the floor.
R: Stand where you are. No one will try to move. (To angre) Give me these bags Angre otherwise, (pointing gun at Ishani) Otherwise, I will shoot her.
Vansh looked at her shocked. He didn't expected this. Infact, no one expected it.
Riddhima pointing gun at Ishani from one hand and grabbing the bags from other, started to move towars the door.
I: Leave me Riddhima.
R: Not until You let me go.
D: Vansh! Let her go.
S: Riddhima stop it. What the hell are you doing?
R: Don't speak a word now Sejal! Ask him to let me go.
Everyone looked at Vansh.
R: Vansh! Please forgive me. I didn't cheat you but please let me take this money. I will go away forever but I won't leave this money here. I will take it with myself. Let me go. I promise you I won't show my face ever again.
Ishq mein marjawan instrumental dramatic version plays......
V(painfully): Get out!!! You don't deserve me. (Loud) I don't want to see your face EVER AGAIN!! You are a blo*dy cheater!!!! Just Get out of my life!!!
Listening to his words, a tear rolled down Riddhima's eyes. She wiped it, dropped the gun, leaving Ishani and grabbing the bags, she one last time took a glance of whole VR Mansion, The RaiSinghanias and his love....Vansh. Another tear made its way to her cheeks. She closed her eyes to stop more tears and wiped it with her hands. She turned towards the door and went away. After she left, Dadi sat on sofa in tears. Sejal sat on the floor crying. Vansh also stumbled and fell on the floor. Ishani and Angre came to dadi and Vansh respectively to console them. Sejal also ran to Dadi. Listening to everyone's cries, Vansh got up, destroyed all the decorations and went to his room banging the door to close.
Flashback ends.
Sejal had tears in her eyes. So, Angre spoke,
" After that day, Vansh again became the old angry broken man. No one ever tried to find Riddhima nor Riddhima ever came back. What she did, left everyone shattered and broken completely. No one had ever seen Riddhima after that day. She completely vanished. Neither do we know what she did with that money. Vansh never left anyone who deceives him but don't know why he didn't try to find her again. He completely removed her from all his memories. He removed her out of his life completely. She broke Vansh's dreams so Vansh broke hers too. He made sure that she never become a doctor but don't know what did Riddhima do with that money that she is a doctor now. In these 5 years, We got no news about her. Vansh was broken to the core. Its been 5 years to that incident. Sejal wanted to leave but Vansh didn't let her go. Since, that time she is saying with us like family. There is not a single day when Vansh has not remembered Riddhima. Riddhima left him shattered and lifeless...
