Entry into the VR Mansion.

All three of them reached VR Mansion.

Riddhima was hurriedly brought to the patient who was lying on the sofa. On close examining, Riddhima recognized the patient. She was the same woman whom she met at temple.

"What happened to her?", Vansh asked with concern.

"Sugar level dropped due to starvation and stress. Tell her not to starve herself so much. And keep her hydrated with fruits.", She said while examining.

"Mom! Are you again fasting?", Vansh scolded the woman once she gains consciousness.

"Umm No", Anupriya said while nodding in yes.

Riva giggled while Anupriya glared.

 "You're not going to fast from now!", Vansh ordered.

"Hey.. you can't stop me!", she spoke weakly.

 "Aunty relax. Don't take stress.", Riddhima intervened.

"Oh Thank you beta for saving me from this jailer. I owe you.", Anupriya said dramatically while Riddhima bit her lip to prevent from bursting.

"Wait..I have seen you.. (recollecting)..yeah..you were the one who saved me in temple right?", Anupriya noticed Riddhima.

"What! What happened in temple?", Before Riddhima could nod Vansh interrupted.

"Oh damn!", Anupriya whispered and hit her head for putting her hand in lion's den.

"She was about to fall from stairs.", Riddhima answered.

"What! Mom, now you are banned to go out alone.", He roared.

"I am your mom, not you.", Anupriya said while making faces and Riva giggled.

"Who is laughing?", Anupriya said while frowning fakely.

"Dadi! Stop your drama and drink this juice.", Riva said while forwarding a glass of juice.

"Drama? I am not talking to you", Anupriya said while making a crying face which made Riva smile more.

Seeing a smiling Riva, Riddhima smiled instantly. She wished that this little girl could smile like this forever. Vansh who was noticing Riddhima, too smiled after seeing her happy.

"Finished!", Anupriya shouted as she finished the juice in one go and showed the emptied glass to Riva and then to Vansh. Vansh shook his head at her immaturity.

"That's like my good girl", Riva said.

"Thank you Riva Dadi.", Anupriya answered back making Riva and Riddhima laugh together.

Aaram de dil ko mere

Mere paas aa

Mar mar ke jee raha hu

Meri sun le zara

Vansh's smile, first time after years reached his eyes, when he saw her laughing and smiling with Riva. Vansh was never like this. For him, his world was his family, his Riva. But today, when he saw Riddhima, smiling and laughing with his family, he felt serene. Like his heart got a sudden comfort while seeing her smile.

All over his life, he had encountered difficult situations. His dadi and Dad leaving him, then his best friend leaving him.. All of this has made his life dark. For the first time, he felt a little ray of light is still present.

"Mr RaiSinghania, I think I should leave now. Tell me the hotel name, I will book a cab", Riddhima brought him back from his dreamland.

"Wait? Hotel? Who is going to Hotel?", Anupriya said.

"Aunty. I am..", Riddhima said but was interrupted.

"No way. You helped me so much, you are not going to stay in hotel.", Anupriya said.

"Aunty, why are you taking stress. It's just a matter of some days, till Mr RaiSinghania finds a new home for me.", She explains.

"I don't know anything. You helped me and I am not letting you stay in a hotel. It's a matter of some days right? So just stay here for some days.", Anupriya  said.

Riddhima looked at Vansh whose face was hard to read.

"Please Dr Ma. We will play together.", Riva requested with puppy eyes which instantly melted her heart.

"Ohkay!", she announced her decision delighting everyone. Out of which two showed their happiness on their faces, while one hid it behind his emotionless faced mask.

Vansh took Riddhima to guest room where her luggage was already kept. Vansh was asking her to be comfortable and was showing the room to Riddhima when Riddhima noticed something near the curtain.

"Aaah!", Riddhima screamed and jumped on Vansh, who got disbalanced and landed on the bed, with Riddhima on top.

Dil ye tere bina, maanta hi nahi

Kuch bhi tere siva, jaanta hi nahi

Tu zaroori sa hai, ab har haal mein

Iske aage koi, raasta hi nhi

Both of them stared each other with unknown emotions.Riddhima was the first one to get aware of her surrounding, and she quickly stood up.

"What was that for? I mean, why you screamed?", Vansh asked while getting up.

"Liz..Lizard!", Riddhima said while pointing towards curtain.

'Lizard, not possible in VR Mansion', Vansh thought. He himself has ordered the servants to take care of this problem since Riva is very much afraid of Lizards.

"A doctor, afraid of Lizards!", He still said to irritate her.

"Haaha! Very funny!", Riddhima said while folding her hands.

Vansh held Riddhima's hand and took her towards curtain. She refused but he still took her. There she realized it was the shadow of wind chime that appeared like lizard's tail.

"Liz..Lizard!", Vansh mimicked Riddhima's words and laughed whole heartedly. Riddhima frowned for a moment but watching him laughing made her heart flutter, thus joined him.

Mila hu ab jo tumse

To Dil ko mere kasam se

Sukoon Mila...Sukoon Mila...

Vansh watched her laughing and smiled.
