Hatred turns love

Invite to the lion's den

After coming back from breakfast
Aashi was sitting at pool side with her leg dipped in the pool
Sad and dejected thinking what she did wrong to get this

(In mind) god, meine aisa kyaa kiya ki aapne mujhe aisi life di
My own family doesn't like me, my mother, my sister hates me, I get little love from dadi but she also never accepts me wholeheartedly, she takes a stand for everyone against bhai but never for me, only Siya di loves me a little, and Vansh bhai he is so busy to even show me that he cares, he only talks to me if he wants to scold me otherwise he never comes to even see what i am going through nowadays, he is only namesake father figure that i have now. But may be one day he will show me that love and care behind these scoldings, i am sure of it

She was indulged in her own thoughts and felt a presence beside her
She turns to see the person and shocked to see Riddhima

Riddhima: hey, you again forgot your keys inside

Aashi just sighed and in no mood for joking or talking to her, she just gave a one word reply
'NO'
Riddhima: ok... you seem off, where is that arrogent proud Vansh Raisinghania sister
Aashi got irritated with the mention of vansh's name
Aashi: i have my own identity, Aashima Raisinghania, for god's sake call me by my name

Riddhima: ohhhh. Toh bhai se ladai hui
Aashi sighed again and sad tone
Aashi: please Riddhima not now, not in the mood
Riddhima: kyaa tumhare saare siblings ek jaise hi hain kyaa jab dekho tumse ladte rehte hain , koi ni bhai behen aisi hi hote hain

She just gave a sad faint smile on the mention of siblings and shook her head
Aashi: nhi sabke behen bhai mere jaise nhi hote
Riddhima: ok so tell me what happened with your 'Vansh bhai'
Aashi: Vansh bhai se koi ladai nhi hoti hai, he only gives orders and punishment, but  I don't want to talk right now , please

Riddhima: ok, (she sighed) you know you can tell me anything, common tell me you look sad, anything happened because last i remember, you were back to normal
Aashi: no nothing...vo Vansh bha.... Ohh nothing
Riddhima: hmmm Vansh bhai, what Vansh bhai
Common we are friends you can share

Aashi looked at her and then she widened her eyes
Riddhima: what tell me, ohhh I understand, i know your brother , i don't know how he is serious all the time, can he ever talk normally like with smiles and without that disgusting smirk
Aashi signalled her to be quiet with wide eyes
Riddhima: what happened tell me, what Vansh

' yes what about me'

Here comes a deep husky voice
Riddhima takes a gulp of saliva and understands that what Aashi was trying to tell her
Aashi and Riddhima stands out of the pool to face the voice who was none other than Vansh himself
.
.
Both stands to face him, he has a smirk on his face and both stands with head low in embarrassment
Vansh: so...???disgusting hun...
Ridhima: sorry Mr. Raisinghania, I didn't mean that
Aashi: bhai i am sorry she was just trying to lighten my mood just that
Vansh: ohh so your mood lightens by cursing me, I didn't know that..
Aashi: bhai its not like that....
She was interrupted by a finger of Vansh who was not interested in listening to her

Vansh: everybody has packed and waiting in the lobby, i believe you should be with them rather than talking about my mood and expressions, we are reaching at the shore in 15 minutes, so leave

She goes from there and Riddhima also started to go
Vansh: I haven't completed yet miss Sharma
Riddhima murmured under her breath
Kal toh kitne acche se baat kar raha tha, aaj miss sharma
She shook her head in disappointment and then turns to face him
Riddhima: yes mr.Raisinghania
Vansh presents her an envelope which she takes with hesitation

Riddhima: yeh kyaa hai mr. Raisinghania
Vansh: you have a very poor memory miss sharma
These are the details of 2 days navratri pooja dadi was talking last night
And let me clear few things
You will join us tomorrow at VR mansion at 9: 00 am and have to stay there till the event completes
Riddhima: but sir we can work there then be back home, how can we live there
Vansh: sorry miss Sharma, it is the protocol of VR mansion all the staff stays with us and no phones allowed, meet you tomorrow
Vansh was about to move but stopped due to Riddhima question

Riddhima: i am sorry to interrupt sir, but how can we work without phone, there are alot of people we have to contact to, we can't just go and get stuff to arrange a big event and secondly if we have to live at your place we only have phone to connect with our families, so we will be needing phones
Vansh: ohh I understand, ok you will be given new phones, so for 2 days you will use them
And for other details you can open the envelope and clear your doubts
Be on time... i don't like tardiness

With this he leaves from there
And Riddhima takes a deep breath she was holding
Riddhima looks at the envelope

Riddhima:ohh god iss akdu ke saath usi ghar mein do din aur kaise kaam hoga aur Sejal, usko bhi nhi btaya meine, patanhi vo kaise react karegi
With this ship hooter sounds start indicating their arrival

Riddhima: chalo Riddhima ghar chalte hain vahi dekhenege Sejal ko bhi (she took a deep breath and sighs )
.
.
.
.Vansh while walking from there in his mind
Ab aayega na maza, saari sachai pata chal jayegi in do dino mein
Agar yeh ladki koi chaal chal rhi hai toh my dear let me tell you you have messed with a wrong person
Kyunki Vansh ki duniya  mein dhoka dene vaalo ki ek hi saza  hai, maut
Ab mein pehli tumhare through Ishani ko uss Sunny se bachunga aur  agar Sunny innocent nikla aur tumne uss Sunny ka use kia hai toh tumhara kyaa haal hoga yeh toh mein khud bhi nhi jaanta
Nobody can mess with my family and when it comes to my sisters I don't know what i am capable of......
Uss cctv footage mein voice nhi thi varna sab clear ho jaata par koi baat nhi ab sab pata chal jayega

With this he gave a sinister smirk and evil smile .

Everyone reaches their home from cruize
Riddhima and Sejal hostel room

Riddhima puts the envelope on kitchen counter and walks to the washroom
Sejal comes from behind and walks in the kitchen to drink water
She finds a envelope at kitchen counter
She sees it and it had VR initials at the corner she gets curious and opens it
Reading it, glass from her drops making a big sound
Riddhima comes from washroom towards the sound and gets astonished seeing sejal with envelope
Sejal looks at Riddhima

Sejal: yeh kyaa hai Riddhima meine tujhe cruize pe hi bta diya tha ki yeh Vansh koi achha aadmi nhi hai phirbhi tune yeh naya event accept kar liya
Aur tu mujhe kab btane vaaali thi......kal
Riddhima: nhi yr sejal, tu na overreact kar rhi thi
Vo meine willingly accept nhi kiya par vo khadus akdu, usne zabardast diya
Sejal: zabardasti matlab, explain?

Riddhima explains her night events when Vansh convinced her for the event

Sejal: toh tune mujhe btaya kyun nhi
Hum dono chalke baat karte
Riddhima: vo subah btana chahati thi phir tu naraaz ho gyi itni mushkil se manaya phir laga ki kahi iss baat pe bhi naaraaz na ho jaaye  toh...

Sejal: vo meine tujhe ek baat nhi btayi
Riddhima: kyaaa....
Sejal: vo kal raat ko jab tu apne room mein thi tune kaha ki tujhe yaad nhi hai tere saath kon tha ....vo vansh tha vaha, usne hi mujhe bulaya tha teri help karne ke lie aur usne mujhe btaya bhi tha par mujhe laga vo mazaak kar raha hai aise hi bol rha hai
Riddhima: what.... Vansh tha matlab mera haath Vansh ne pakda tha, ohh god pata nhi usko sunny samajhke mein kyaa kyaa bol diya
Ohh god par ab kyaa karenge

Sejal: karenge kyaa,.....sher ka invite aaya hai phirse sher ki gufa mein jayenge
Patanhi yeh VR se peecha kab chootega
Riddhima: toh plan hai kyaa tere pass bachne ka
Sejal: yr... dekh tera man nhi hai toh ek baar jaake usse baat kar sakte hain par hume paiso ki bhi toh zaroorat hai, Karan ka treatment
Aur VR inn choote chhote events ke bhi bahaut paise de raha hai
Dono event ke milake pure 30,000 de raha hai, kharcha nikal ke bhi 24,000 bachenege
Riddhima: vhi na Sejal....I don't know how but i think i can do this for Karan

Sejal smiles and hugged her
Sejal: We can do this for Karan
Both laughed

Separating with each other
Riddhima starts to clean the house and Sejal sits on the kitchen counter with apple in her hand
Sejal: Riddhima yr ek baat aur btani thi
Riddhima: hmmmm
Sejal: tu uss Sunny se dur reh, mujhe kuchh sahi nhi lagta vo
Usdin party mein vo VR ki behen Ishani ke saath itne chipak chipak ke dance kar rah tha jaise uska boyfriend ho
Riddhima: tu chinta mat kar meri vo sirf mera dost hai...mujhe kyaa vo kisi ke saath bhi aise dance kare
Sejal: hmmm, chal tu yaha ka sambhal le, mein hospital jaake Karan se. ilke aati hun
Riddhima: ok, byee dhyaan se jaana
