6 Months later
Riddhima finally gets to know the truth about her parents and Ishani.
Riddhima: We promised to be truthful and loyal towards each other, still you hid the truth. How could you lie to me Vansh? They were my parents, I had the right to know.
Vansh: I'm so sorry, Sweetheart (going towards her)
Riddhima: Stop right there.
Vansh: Riddhima, please. I did all this for us, for our love, our marriage.
Riddhima: No, Mr.Vansh Rai Singhania, you did this to save your sister.
Ishani: Look Riddhima, that was an accident...
Riddhima: Don't you dare Ishani...not today. Aaj tak mein chup rahi kyunki baat meri thi but aaj baat mere parents ki hai, meri family ki hai. Meri family jo aaj mere sath nahi hai only because of you. And do you know what's even more shocking, that even after doing so much you had the audacity to call me off for being an orphan, every single time. Tumne har baar mujhe blame kiya hai ki mein ek family ki importance kabhi nahi samjhungi because I'm an orphan, but uska reason kaun hai Ishani? Tum....you are the reason why I don't have a family. Even after knowing that they were my parents, your behavior didn't change. Not even an ounce of regret. You disgust me, Ishani.
Ishani: Ridh....
Riddhima: I'm not done yet
Riddhima: You have always hated me, tried different ways to hurt me -both physically and mentally, but I never said anything but aaj nahi. Ab aur nahi. Tum jaisi selfish ladki meine aaj tak nahi dekhi, tum apne aap ke alawa kisi aur se pyar kar hi nahi sakhti. Mujhe humesha lagta tha ki kahin na kahin tumhare iss attitude ke piche tumhara pyar, tumhari concern hai for your family, but I was wrong. All you care about is yourself. Now I understand the reason why you were so hostile when I was trying to find the truth, har baar Vansh ka bahana lekar tum apne aap ko bacha rahi thi Ishaani. Tumhara concern tumhara bhai nahi tum khud thi, Vansh ke liye concern dikhane ki aadh mein tum apne aap ko bachana chahti thi. You know what's sad though, tum mujhe toh kya kabhi apni family ko bhi nahi samjh payi....Tumne humesha Vansh ko blame kara ki who Sia ko tumse zyada importance deta hai, sirf Sia se pyar karta hai yeh jante huwe ki wo tumhare liye juvenile center gaya....he lost 4 years of his life to save yours. Tum Vansh aur yeh family deserve hi nahi karti, Ishani. Jo ladki apne bhai ko kabhi samjh ni payi, jisne uske liye itna kuch sacrifice kiya usse aur expect bhi kya kar sakhte hai. Vansh toh kya tumhe toh apne bache se bhi pyar nahi hai, tabhi khud abortion karwa kar you pretended to have a miscarriage. Aur Angre, jis insaan ne tumhara haath thaama yeh jante hue that you were carrying someone else's child.... tumne toh uski bhi kadar nahi ki. Tum sahi kehti thi ki Angre tumhe deserve nahi karta kyunki wo tumse bahut better deserve karta hai... No one deserves to stay or live with a selfish person like you Ms.Ishani Rai Singhania. No one.
Riddhima: Aur tum (turning towards Vansh) tumhe mujhe kabhi pyar kiya hi nahi Vansh, kyunki agar kiya hota toh kabhi itna bada sach nahi chupate. Yeh jante hue, ki I lost my parents because of Ishani you never stopped her.... Tumne use kabhi nahi kaha to change/mend her ways with me, to treat me like a human if not a family member. Tumhare liye sirf tumhari family important hai, mein nahi.
Vansh: Nahi Riddhima, please aisa nahi hai. I love you. I love you more than myself.
Riddhima: Only if you loved me as much as you loved your family. But sachai toh ye hai ki tumne humesha mujhe for granted liya hai, every single time....Because Riddhima ka kya hai, uski toh khud ki family nahi hai, I'm the only one she has, toh jo karna hai karo. Haina?
Vansh: (shakes his head) No, please. One chance, last chance
Riddhima: You know Vansh, today was supposed to be the best day of our lives....you know why? (seeing him shake his head) I'm pregnant (Vansh's eye glistened with tears) but
Vansh: but (scared)
Riddhima: but I can't live like this, I can't live with people who never treated me like a human let alone a family member. I can't let my child live like this, I don't want him/her to be a part of this toxic family.
Vansh: Don't do this, I love you
Riddhima: And I love you, isliye ek last chance de rahi hoon. Apne bache ke liye, tumhe ek last chance de rahi hoon, Vansh. You give me one more reason and I'll walk out. Itni dur chali jaungi ki tum mujhe ya mere bache ko kabhi dhund nahi paoge and that's a promise. Bahut sacrifice kar liye meine, ab aur nahi. Agar tum mujhe woh pyar, woh respect nahi de sakhte toh iss rishte ka koi matlab nahi. So, one last chance.
Vansh: Yes, I'll do anything (smiles)
Riddhima: Not so soon, don't promise something you can't fulfill
Vansh: I'll do whatever it takes, Riddhima. I can't lose you
Riddhima: Me or you family?
Vansh: What (shocked)?
Riddhima: Me or your family? What do you want? Agar aaj tumne apni family ko choose kara toh bhul jana ki tum kisi Riddhima ko jante the and if you choose me then except for Sia and Dadi you cannot have any relation with anyone in this house. And Ishani will be punished, I will make sure she is punished for her deeds. The choice is yours
Vansh: Please Riddhima, I'll die without you
Riddhima: And I'll die if I stay here, faisla tumhara hai Vansh. Think as much as you want but mera decision nahi badlega.
Vansh breaks down, after his father's death he did everything for his family. Everything to protect them, even if that meant sacrificing his own happiness but for the first time in life he wanted to be selfish. He wanted happiness for himself, he wanted Riddhima, his love, his child. He wanted a happy family, a family who would love him without any selfish reasons, but what about his other family, Ishani...How can he abandon them?
Dadi looked at Vansh, understanding his emotional turmoil she went to him.
Dadi: Riddhima sahi bolri hai beta, tum dono yahan kabhi khush nahi reh paoge. Kabhi Ishani, kabhi Aryan, kabhi koi aur. Aaj tak tum hamare liye jiye ho, it's time you live for yourself. It's time you prioritize your happiness. Aur phir mein aur Sia toh aate rahenge tum dono se milne. Aur jahan tak baat Ishani ki hai, har insaan ko apne karmo ki saza issi janam mein milti hai, beta, and use bhi milegi usmein tu ya mein kuch nahi kar sakhte.
Ishani: No bhai, you can't do that to me. Behen hoon mein aapki aur aap (pointing towards Riddhima) iss ladki ke liye apni family ko chod denge. How can you do this to your family? To me?
Vansh: Kaunsi family Ishani? Chacha, Chachi, Aryan jo bas ek mauka dhund re hai sari property and power apne naam karne ke liye ya tum jisse sirf apni khushiyon ki parwa hai. Bolo Ishani, kaunsi family? Agar Dadi aur Sia ke alawa kisi ne mujhse sacha pyar kiya hai toh woh hai Riddhima. Aaj tak meine apna har farz nibhaya hai but now it's time - I be the husband Riddhima deserves. I want to be there for her, for my baby. For the first time in life I want to choose my happiness, which is Riddhima & our child. I'm sorry Ishani, but I have made my choice. (Going towards Riddhima) I promise, I'll never hurt you. I will be the best husband to you and the best father to our child. Last chance, I promise.
Riddhima nods and hugs him.
Riddhima: Last chance.
