Riansh OS: Death and Returned? Ishq Mein Marjawan 2

Ishani offered Raima to have some rest on the sofa so that they could share more with each other. They were forming a nice bond between them, more like friends. Sia joined them while dadi went to the kitchen to make prepare some juice for Raima, as she was looking weak. Angre and Aryan left for the study room while Vansh was adoring his sister’s bond with Raima. The corner of his eye caught something leading him to turn his eyes away from the beautiful ladies of his life to only see Aarav. His anger had already started boiling. He was ready to do anything to keep him away from Riddhima (still not able to accept the fact that she wasn’t her) He rushed up the stairs and went to the study to discuss with his brothers. While Anupriya tried talking to Raima however she kept on ignoring her.
Raima: What’s your problem lady? Whoever you are please go sit on the other side. I can’t stand you around me. (Facing Ishani and Sia) Who’s she? The maid?
Anupriya: (Pissed) Did you just call me a maid?
Raima: Ohh so you aren’t the maid! I get it. You’re the house helper, right?
Ishani and Sia burst out laughing. Anupriya glared at them signalling them to keep quiet however they didn’t stop.
Ishani’s POV: I swear, Riddhima… I mean Raima is going to teach this chudail a lesson. Oh, it’s going to be so much fun!!
Sia’s POV: Wow! Great move sis. I can’t wait to see more of this. (giggling)
Anupriya: House helper is the same as a maid, don’t you know that? (pissed)
Raima: Yes, I know but I though you don’t like to be called a maid so house help. (Casually) So you’re none of them? You can’t be a manservant or a butler! So, may I know who you are? Oh, wait are you a nanny or a cook? Or a gardener? But no, your clothes are too fancy for a gardener!
Anupriya: Uhh… Enough! I’m no one. I’m just a human being. You don’t need to know who I am. You’re acting as of this is your house…
Raima: (Interrupting her) Well it is! (this shocked Ishani and Sia) After all dadi told me to consider it as my own house, so technically if I consider it as my own house then it is right!

Ishani and Sia were surprised by her attitude, they were almost convinced that she wasn’t Riddhima. Whatever it was they were enjoying the drama, they always wanted to show Anupriya her position; a maid but they couldn’t however today it was Raima who did it! Anupriya stomped out of there and went to her room. Vansh who was witnessing all the drama outside his study was astonished the way she answered his stepmom. His Riddhima wasn’t like this. She was sweet and simple, always caring and had no attitude, but this girl, she was a bomb, a firecracker who could destroy anyone’s pride. He had a faint smile on his face. Dadi arrived from the kitchen with Riddhima’s favourite juice; apple and carrot juice, still thinking that Raima was Riddhima. She served her.
Raima: (Took a sip and gulping it as if it were poison) What juice is this? I’m sorry but it doesn’t taste good. (Making a face)
Dadi: oh, I’m sorry dear, I forgot that you’re not Riddhima, it was her favourite juice.

FLASHBACK
Riddhima: Dadi please make me my favourite juice (making a cute face to convince her)
Dadi: Sure (she makes it brings it to her) Here
Riddhima: (gulping everything down in less than minute) Thank you Dadi!! (she sides hugger her) This the best juice, you should be a chef by the way it isn’t too late as of now. (Jokingly)
Dadi: I see you’re making fun of my age. (sulking)
Riddhima: sorry dadi, but I really can’t help it, it’s too yummy. (they laughed together)
FLASHBACK ENDS
Raima: It’s alright dadi. I don’t mind it; I’ll just have it. (saying that she gulped it down)

Vansh noticed how she respected dadi. Aryan called Vansh inside to discuss more of their plan. Aarav who was getting bored decided to tour the mansion. He went upstairs leaving the ladies to talk. He arrived at Vansh’s study and entered it without knocking him being unaware of the consequences. He interrupted their discussion.
Aarav: What’s up guys!!
Vansh, Aryan and Angre turned to look towards the door. Vansh couldn’t bear it anymore.
Vansh: Don’t you have any manners? How can you enter without knocking! (enraged)
Aryan: Exactly! What do you want!
Aarav: Woah! Calm down, I don’t think it’s a crime right. So, chill. We I wanted to have a look at the mansion….
Vansh: (cutting him off) And who gave you the permission to do so!! Look man, don’t make me say anything more, just go away from here, I’m already tolerating you for my Riddhima.
Aarav: She’s not your Riddhima. She’s my Raima. Get it!! Stop calling her your wife.

Before anyone of them could answer him back they heard a commotion downstairs. They heard someone shouting. They could also hear Raima’s voice. Vansh hearing her, thinking she’s in trouble, pushed aside Aarav and ran to her. He quickly descended the stairs with the rest of the men following. Another person? He was hugging her. They were engrossed in each other. Pure affection and love were shown between them. Vansh went close to them and broke the hug, pulling Raima away from him. He glared at the man while Raima glared at him with anger and the man with a questioning look.
Raima: What is wrong with you? Why did you have to stop us!
Vansh: (possessive)I can’t bear anyone with you… (realising what he blurted) I mean to say this is a house and not a hospital where visitors are allowed (eyeing the unknown man)
Unknown man: Rai who’s this guy?
Vansh and everyone were surprised by the name he called her. A nickname. Seemed like he was very close. Aarav came in front and side hugged him. Also, he knew him. Raima was adoring their bond. The man looked past Vansh and he recognised Aryan. Vansh was confused, he turned to Aryan who was wondering if he knew that man and yes, he did.
Man: Heyy! Aryan. Long-time buddy.
Aryan: Sahil? Is that you? I can’t believe it. You’ve changed!
Sahil: What do you expect man! You too! What a surprise! How are you doing? You live here? (taking a glance at the house)
Aryan: Yes, I do. Well, I came down from London a few months back. Had settled there but planned to stay here for a few months and return. (side hugged him) What about you? How come you’re here?
Sahil: I’m Sahil Raichand. Raima’s brother. (turning to Raima) Why are you here Rai?
Raima: I’m here because of the man who’s standing in front of you (indicating Vansh) He’s Vansh Raisinghania, the man who I was supposed to meet today.
Sahil: Oh (turning to Vansh) Nice to meet you and thank you for taking care of my sister. I’ll leave with her now.
Vansh: No please don’t. I have promised to cover up. Please!
Sahil: (not wanting) okay fine.

Vansh asked Aryan to show them the way to their rooms. While Raima was taking the stairs, she lost her balance. Vansh went and held her. They shared a cute and intense eye-lock. Vansh was engrossed in her ocean blue eyes while Raima in his deep brown eyes. Aarav disturbed them by tapping Raima’s shoulder taking away her attention. Vansh saw their retreating figures leaving to their rooms.
