The sight that greeted Viyansh shattered his heart into millions of pieces. His mind went blank, and his face was devoid of any expression. He had believed that seeing his Jaan's face would bring him solace, calming his restless heart. But now, the reality before him was too devastating to bear. Vaidehi lay on the ground, her face extremely tired and pale. Each breath seemed to be a struggle. Her hand was pressed against her stomach, trying to stem the flow of blood that was oozing out. The vivid red of the blood starkly contrasted with her pallid skin, creating a scene that was both heartbreaking and horrifying. Viyansh's heart seemed to stop pumping, and his mind struggled to process the scene before him. The love of his life, his Jaan, was in a dire state, and the sight of her suffering left him feeling helpless and overwhelmed with anguish.

Sangeeta stood nearby, paralyzed with shock. Her hand covered her mouth as she stared down at Vaidehi, her eyes wide with horror and disbelief. The scene before her was almost too much to comprehend: her daughter, gravely injured and struggling for every breath, lay on the ground, blood seeping through her fingers as she clutched her stomach.

Ritesh: "Woahhh you treated her so badly and still she took a bullet for you, her stepmother. Waah kya pyaar hai sauteli maa beti me."
(What a love between a stepmother and stepdaughter.)

He laughed, and she looked at him with intense anger, her eyes burning with fury.

Ritesh: "Don't worry, Didi. I'll send you to her."

He pointed the gun at her, but Eklavya was quick, shooting Ritesh in the hand. The gun fell from Ritesh's grasp as he groaned in pain. Sangeeta bent down near Vaidehi and gently caressed her forehead, her touch filled with concern and tenderness.

Sangeeta: "Kyu kiya aisa Meri bachchi??"
(Why did you do this, my child?)

Viyansh snapped out of his trance at the sound of the gunshot and quickly rushed to Vaidehi. He gently lifted her head and placed it on his lap, his face etched with worry.

Viyansh: "Ja...Jaa..jaan"

Viyansh called out with a trembling voice, tears streaming down his face. The sight of her, so fragile and in pain, tore at his heart. He cradled her head gently in his lap, his desperation palpable. As Vikram, Vihaan, Viraj, Virat, and Abhinav arrived, they were greeted by the heart-wrenching scene. Each of them felt a sharp, agonizing pain in their hearts at the sight of Vaidehi lying there, injured and struggling to breathe. Vikram's eyes filled with tears as he approached his daughter. Vihaan clenched his fists, trying to hold back his own tears, while Viraj and Virat stood frozen, their faces pale with shock and fear.

Viyansh: "Jaan, aakhein kholon yaar, you can't do this to me Bachcha."
(open your eyes, please.)

Viyansh gently patted Vaidehi's cheeks, his voice trembling as he tried to keep her conscious. Tears streamed down everyone's faces, the weight of their collective grief heavy in the air. Virat, unable to hold back his emotions, fell to his knees beside Vaidehi. He reached out and held her hand, squeezing it gently.

Virat: "Bhabhi maa, aap aise kyu kar rahe ho humare sath. Aapko pata hai na hum, hum nahi reh sakte aapke bina."
(why are you doing this to us? You know we can't live without you.)

Eklavya's officers arrested Ritesh, but he continued to laugh mockingly at them.

Ritesh: "At least I avenged my daughter."

Viyansh's eyes burned with a fiery anger. Carefully, he placed Vaidehi's head on Virat's lap. As Virat gently supported Vaidehi, Viyansh stood up, his entire body trembling with rage. Without a word, Viyansh turned and advanced towards Ritesh. The moment he reached him, he unleashed his fury, his fists landing blow after blow on Ritesh's face. Each punch was fueled by the pain and desperation he felt for Vaidehi.
