Riddhima stirred in her sleep to turn the alarm off only to find her husband sleeping on her chest hugging her tight as if his whole life depends on her..... smiling at his innocent sleeping face, she ruffled her hair before detangling herself from his hold to use the washroom. Freshening herself up she saw the time 4:30 am, sighing she moved to wake her husband

Riddhima: Vansh.....Jaan, wake up!!!

Vansh (sleepy): Yaar Riddhu, sleep; my sleep isn't completed, come let's sleep......

He was about to pull her but she on time moved away from him smiling at his antics

Riddhima (smiling): Mr. Singhania, your sister is leaving for a holiday, don't you think you are supposed to bid her bye!!!

Vansh instantly sat up making Riddhima laugh out loud!!!! Ruffling his hair and giving him a morning kiss on his cheek, she moved to take out something from the wardrobe while Vansh was observing his wife all bliss and happiness, confusing him........

Vansh (confused): You ..... you are happy?

Riddhima: Yes.... why shouldn't I be?

Vansh: No I didn't mean that.... am ..... confused!!! How come out of the blue you are so happy about "their" holiday!!!

Riddhima faced him with a distant look in her eyes with a cover in her hand

Riddhima (slight smile): You know Vansh when I started realizing that I have feelings for you, I have seen you stay away from me and that started hurting me more; afraid you don't like me; and then there were those 3 days when after we expressed our love for each other you had to go to Delhi for your business meeting and I felt all alone..... it's not that family wasn't there for me, of course, I had them but I didn't have you.... the one who loves me. I know the feeling of emptiness when the one we love is away from us be it for hours, days, or even months...... we are addicted to the warmth of our mates and without them, nothing feels right...... I don't want Ishani to go through this...... She has been away from "him" all these months and now..... now I can see how happy she is; her lost smile and happiness are back and she's going on a holiday with him after months so, I just want to support her......

Vansh was aghast at how clearly she understood his sister's emotions, sacrifices, and expectations. He was happy that Riddhima was finally into giving Angre a chance, he instantly popped out of bed and hugged her

Vansh (happy): Am so happy Riddhu.... finally, you have forgiven Angre!!!

Riddhima pushed him lightly with confusion and anger

Riddhima: Who the hell told you am going to forgive that criminal!!!

Vansh (confusion): What do you mean....... didn't you just say that you want Ishani's happiness!!!

Riddhima (stern): I meant I want Ishani not to experience the pain of separation from her love and I'd support her, and her happiness is being with "him" but I didn't say am going to forgive him for what he did to me. I can never FORGIVE HIM!!!! Am supporting her in her love with a guy who's not concerned with me in any manner and vaise bhi he might have betrayed me and my feelings but he never broke Ishani's love and belief so..... I don't think I have any right to come between them; it's their personal matter. Its Ishani's wish whom to love and share her life with and me being her sister would support her LOVE and not her LOVER!!!!

Riddhima moved out of the room leaving a highly confused Vansh; he kept on reminiscing whatever she said trying to understand her intentions clearly but he was confused!!! Sighing he moved to freshen up waiting for the destiny to make her intentions clear to him
