I wrote this based on the Vihaan track. What if someone was actually there who saved him from the fall? What if someone loved him as Vihaan? What if that love was the selfless love he wanted? Its totally based on my imaginations with some twist and tweaks.
P.S: Please dont take any offence as i have portrayed Riddhima in a different light. My story demanded it. I hope you wont get pissed off at me.
Please do give it a read and leave your valuable comments. Thank you.

It was him..
She felt it as his fingers interlocked with hers,as he pulled her back.
Their eyes met,after a long time. It felt as if her parched self got her life back.
"Vihaan"...
And both of them go into a flashback:
"Vihaan,yeh sab aapke liye kiya hai maine.. I hope you like it." She asked,showing the arrangements.
Sensing where it was going,Vihaan(Vansh)struggled to speak.
"Aap thik toh hai na,Vihaan?" She asked him with care,and held his hands.
She placed a kiss on his hands and said,sensing his silence,
"I have a surprise for you.. Wait for a minute,please!!" She replied with a heartfelt smile.
She took out a small box,which had a ring with their initials engraved on it. It was one of a kind diamond studded ring.
She knelt down before Vihaan(Vansh),shocking him to the limits. He didnt know how to react,for the first time in his life.
"I love you,Vihaan. Apne jaan se bhi zyada.. Aapko pata nahi,par jab maine aapko usdin cliff ke niche zakhmi halat mein dekha thha,mujhe bohut bura laga thha. It felt as if kisine meri saansein chheen ne ki koshish ki thhi. Aap meri jeene ki wajah ban gaye thhe. Uss din ke baad,jab aap theek hogaye,hum dono dost bangaye. Jaise aap mere feelings ko samajhte hai,waise kisine nahi kiya aaj tak. Yeh dil kabse aapke liye dharakna shuru kardiya,pata hi nahi chala. Trust me when i say this,aapki har ek khushi mere liye bohut maayne rakhti hai.. Vihaan,will you marry me?"
That's when his control and anger snapped. He held her arms tightly and gave an angry stare,which scared her a lot.
"Just stop it!!! Band karo yeh bakwas!! Main koi Vihaan nahi hu.. Main Vansh Rai Singhania hu!!"
Her hopes and heart got crushed in a few seconds. She couldn't believe his words. The ring fell down and reached towards his feet.
''Aap jhoot bol rahe hai na,Vih.." She murmured while she walked towards him slowly..
"Vansh Rai Singhania kabhi bhi jhoot nahi bolta aur naahi jhoot bardasht karta hai.. Aur jo cliff se girne ke baad jo accident hua mera,woh bhi fake thha.. ek set up,jo mera aur Aangre ka rachaya hua plan thha,taaki main Vihaan ke roop mein aake Riddhima ke diye huye dhoke ka badla le saku.. usse yeh ehsaas dilau ki uska Vansh saamne hoke bhi saamne nahi hai,usse un sab dard ka ehsaas dilwau jo maine feel kiya hai.."
She couldn't believe what she heard. Everything was fake. Everything. Her world tore apart within a few seconds. She slumped down in shock. Her face bore no expression. She became dead from inside.
"Par meri feelings ka kya? Unn paach mahino ka kya jo maine diye thhe aapko theek karne keliye?? Unn duao ka kya jo maine kiye thhe apake theek hone keliye? Unn aansuo ka kya jo maine bahaye thhe aapke acche hone keliye??? Boliye!!!" She asked him,only audible to him.
He closed his eyes tightly,as he had an inkling about it!! But,he needs to keep his resolve strong.
"Main tumse pyaar nahi karta aur naahi kabhi karunga.. Kyunki,aaj se Vihaan mar gaya hai.. Ab Vansh Rai Singhania aagaya hai wapas,apni biwi se har uss dhoke ka badla lene keliye..."
Saying this,he left her there,heartbroken and not giving them a proper closure.
Flashback ends.
*************************
As Vansh got up to ask about her,she moved back and ran away,not caring about him calling her from the back. She couldn't let the past repeat again. She couldn't let her feelings rise again which she buried long time back. She couldn't take the chance of being heartbroken again.
Aangre,who saw everything from behind,came and kept his comforting hand on Vansh's shoulder.
"Nandini aapko sach mein bohut pyaar karti thhi,Boss!! Uski aakhon mein tab bhi dikhta thha aur aaj bhi dikhta hai.. Aaj tak yeh believe nahi karpayi ki aap uske Vihaan nahi,balki Riddhima bhabhi ke Vansh ho.."
"Kabhi kabhi kisi se be intehaan pyaar karne keliye uske paas ya saath rehna zaruri nahi hai.. Dur se dekh kar bhi jee bhar ke pyaar kar sakte ho.. Meri wajah se usse jo dukh pohcha hai na,apne aapko kabhi maaf nahi kar paunga.." Vansh replied sadly.
Aangre understood the meaning behind his words' and realized that his Boss's real happiness lied with Nandini.
