Riddhima couldn't get over the fact that the one she loved the most betrayed her in a drastic way .......

Vansh banged the door numerous times but received no answer making him assume worse theories...... unable to see him such, Kabir dragged him forcefully towards the pool area trying to give some space to Riddhima

Vansh (anger): Why the hell did you drag me, Kabir!!! (Panic) Rid.... Riddhima needs me

Kabir: Enough bhai!!! I know you are freaked out but try to understand..... she feels dejected. She needs time to cope with this, and for that, you are supposed to give her some space

Vansh: What if the space creates distance between us...... what if she leaves me...... .(afraid)

Kabir: Do you think she can??? She loves you immensely, and she knows you do too... but currently, the situation isn't in our hands that we do something; so why not let her take a decision with a calm mind. Leave her for a while.... she'd be fine and so does everything!!!!

Vansh (breaking down): Why did it have to happen Kabir..... everything was just perfect a few hours back and now..... now everything is shattered.

Vansh (tears): I know.... I know my involvement in Angre's case would break her but I didn't intend for that. I just wanted him to be set free as I cant see him and my sister falling apart when it wasn't even his mistake in the first place. But now..... now am confused whom do I blame!! Except for myself. I knew Riddhima's pain, I can feel her tears but I can even feel Angre's pain, his love for her...... I wanted their happiness but not at the cost of her tears. I promised her to wipe all the pain and sadness which might come her way but... never expected I'd be the reason for it.

Kabir: Bhai, your intentions were never wrong, the situation is...... trust me everything will fall into place. Just give it some time!!!!

The whole night went with Vansh trying to find ways to reach Riddhima, who was neither answering his calls or messages nor was answering the door!!!!!

With the sun rising, everyone expected a new beginning but none were aware of the upcoming storm ......... Ishani woke up with a severe headache, only to realize she has no memory of what happened after she drank alcohol in rage. Her thoughts broke when she noticed Angre entering the room with a lemonade and a tablet

Ishani (worried): Angre, are you fine??? You know right.... whatever Riddhu said was just her anger speaking and not her..... she immensely loves you.

Angre (pointedly): And what about you Ishani???

Ishani (confused): What about me?

Angre (trying to control his anger): Do you love your brother?

Ishani: Of course I do Angre...... how could you even ask that question? You have known me for years and you are well aware of what he means to me

Angre (losing cool): Then why the hell did you ruin his life!!!!

Ishani (confused and aghast of his tone): WH... what do you mean Angre!!!

Angre pulled her through her shoulders roughly, yet gently......

Angre (anger): Why Ishani why........ my life has already been messed up and you are well aware of how badly I miss Riddhu, how my heart breaks whenever she expresses her hatred for me, how her eyes yell the hatred she has for me; yet you chose to give the same pain to Vansh!!!

Ishani was all appalled by the revelation, she tried hard to recollect what the hell happened but apart from her drinking spree, nothing seemed to make any sense.......
