So let's start this! 

Recap- Sanskaar and Ragini's encounter & confrontation.  Ritik interferes and Sanskaar learns about the siblings.  Ritik and Ragini head back home.

Ch.6:

Ritik's Car 8:00pm:

Ragini had finally settled down, feeling relief knowing her house was just 5 minutes away as their car entered the woods.  She wanted to go in her room and lock herself.  She just wanted to be alone, so that she could wipe this nightmare from her head.  It was all done now and that is all that mattered. 

The whole ride back, her brother didn't speak a word, he looked at the road and drove with a poker face.  Ragu knew he had many questions to ask, but he was holding them back.  Why, she didn't know.  

Ritik's POV:

If I had just held back and avoided coming in front of him, she would be much safer now.  "SHIT!"  

Ritik was extremely concerned for Ragu's safety now, knowing the particular hatred Sanskaar Maheshwari harbored for him.  That man was a monster and he would not hesitate once before killing anyone.  "He had proved that already" Ritik thought as he remembered the incidence a year ago.  

"Almost"  He had almost lost his love, his wife, his Shivanya because of that man.  If it not had been for her dad, she would have died.  His heart sank as the day flashed in front of his eyes.  

Flashback:

Ritik had gone to office early in the morning that day and he knew Shivanya would join him later on.  She always stayed back till the afternoon to spend some time with her parents.  She was emotionally attached to many people in her life, but her parents were a very special part of her heart.  Probably more than him.

Ritik always wondered about her parents.  They were very unusual for their own good.  Any person could imagine the connections and type of social life needed to be one of the top 5 Industrialists in Kolkata.  But the Thakurs were nothing like that, they were very mysterious even though Ritik had been interacting with them since 2 years now.  He still felt like a stranger with them.  Ritik tried a lot to talk with them and interact but they were relentless and Shivanya wasn't helping his purpose by supporting them.  

In the wake of all this tension, Shivanya and his relationship was straining to survive.  She had warned him many times to keep away from her family and let them be the way they were.  Ritik wasn't too fond of the Thakurs after his constant failed attempts to be a part of their family.  But his love for Shivanya didn't change even after their arguments and bickering.  That's why when he received a call that Shivanya met with an accident,  he couldn't even walk till his car to drive to the hospital.  He was shocked and fraught, he wanted to run away, away from having to see his life struggle for every single breath.  And then another call followed. 

"I am sure you heard already.  I hope you are able to cope with it.  It really must hurt right?"

"Who is this?"

 "Sanskaar Ram Prasad Maheshwari, naam toh suna hi hoga [you must have heard the name right?]" He chuckled at his own joke.  

HE DID THIS?
