🥀Illusion🥀
This one shot starts from the storyline when Vansh had jumped of from the cliff.
______________________________________
Riddhima opens her eyes and looks around to find herself in her room. She was sleeping holding Vansh photo. Seeing his photo, she got a flashback of whatever happened thirteen days before. Him getting accused of killing Ragini, jumping of the cliff, Kabir telling his body wasn’t found. She just wanted to shout and bring out her pain. She just wants her Vansh here in front of her anyhow. Riddhima wiping her tears moves to the cupboard and opening it took out his shirt.
“Oh so you’re missing your dead husband.”
She turned around and looks at Kabir who was standing there leaning to the door.
“How dare you come here, get out”
She shouts at him and saw as he came in. She eyes him with disgust.
“Let’s end your misery.”
She saw as he pointed at the shirt in her hand. She clutched it more tightly then before.
“Come on Riddhima, times have changed, I heard its good thing to marry some widow and I agree to marry you.”
He said and smiling spreads his arms.
“Kabir, don’t you dare, I will always be Vansh’s wife, in every birth, I will be with Vansh.”
She shouts on top of her voice making him angry but he took a deep breath and looks back at her with a sweet smile ever he had.
“Really, didn’t you had this love for me also?”
He asked and she looked at him.
“You were right Kabir times have changed”
She said and he was about to come close to her with a smile when she showed him her hand.
“My illusion broke, time, truth and relations changed and that day I realized that I loving you was a mere infatuation.”
She said and he smirked at her.
“Right, change is constant, it’s a rule of the world, like things changed before, it can change again. What’s the harm to marry me? Okay fine, you love Vansh, I give you freedom to love him. Bonus, you keep him in heart, I have no objection but you’ll have to marry me.”
She heard him ordering her and cursed herself for ever even having an infatuation for him.
“You agree by this that you don’t have love in your heart, you just want to get me and its shows your dirty intention.”
She said and saw him coming close to her.
“See if I had to get you, I can do it anytime, but no, if you become my wife, then the small voices raising against me in this Mansion will get calm, if you accept me as husband, then I will get Vansh’s place in this house, that’s all I want, won’t you do this for me, for old time sake, think what’s on stake before saying no.”
He said and winked at her with a wicked smile. She knew what he meant as she saw him leaving the room. Her eyes again got filled with tears as she looked at the shirt.
Riddhima was sitting on the floor of her bathroom, holding Vansh shirt close to her chest hugging it and his “creed” perfume fills her nostril. She wants to inhale it more, feel him close to her. She closes her eyes as the chilled water falling on her delicate body wasn’t helping her any more to be conscious.
She feels a hot breath near her neck and this warmth was making her feel like heaven. She looked up and saw Vansh sitting in front of her with a heavenly smile on his face. She looks at him from up to down and got up in shock.
She saw him as he stood up and she moved close to him and tried to touch him and as she was able to she hugged him tightly breaking down in front of him. She fell on her knees with him holding her tightly by her waist.
“Vansh, thank you so much that you came back. Now I won’t let you leave me even for a second. You’ll be there with me over here and won’t go anywhere”
She mumbles in his embrace while he was caressing her back to stop her sobbing.
“Fine. I won’t”
He said with a smile.
“Promise me…”
She asked and looked up at him through her wet eyes covering her cornea making her look more beautiful and ethereal. That was true she crying hurts him but she looks cute with those eyes.
“Promise Riddhima”
He said and planted a kiss on her forehead making her blush at him just when her eyes fell on his shirt.
“Why are you still wearing this shirt? No remove it. I don’t want to see you in this same shirt. I don’t want you to leave me again.”
She said and holding Vansh hand got up and moving to the closet pulls out his black shirt. She turning around looks at him and saw him smiling. She made him remove his white shirt he was wearing and then changed it.
He pulled her close to him and kissed on her forehead affectionately. She smiled looking at him, he lifted her up and she clutched his shoulder in a tight grip to not lose his grip.
Vansh loosen his grip on her waist suddenly to see her getting scared.
“Vansh…”
She gasped and before she could hug the floor he again lifted her up. She heard him chuckling and smacked his shoulder lightly.
He made her sit in the bathtub and she looked at him as he got in making both of them wet. Bubbles flying all around them covering them, she looks around the bathtub and a smile crept on her lips. She took one of the foam in her hand and looked at it smiling. She was about to blow it but just when Vansh did from the other side.
She frowns and looked at his face to see him smiling and before she could say or tell him something. He pulls her to him making her gasp in shock. She looks up to him as he caresses her cheeks removing soap from there.
She smiles at his gestures and kept her head on his chest to hear her favorite music, his heartbeat. She looked back again to see his face.
“What happened?”
She heard his question and sat back straight.
“Why you didn’t listened to me?”
She asked and he just passed her a smile confusing her.
“You know I love you. Still you didn’t let me tell you the truth. I tried to tell you everything so many times, about my past, Kabir, him sending me here to spy on you. Everything I tried so many times but every time you only said that you don’t care about my past.”
She waited for him to say or do anything but when he didn’t she continued.
“If you don’t care, then why you listened to Kabir and jumped from the cliff. You should have at least tried to trust me”
She said and tears came out of her eyes, he pulled her into a hug and cocooned her in his warm embrace trying to calm her racing heart, her mind, her.
“I’m sorry”
She said while he was trying to soothe her heartbreak.
“Promise me, you will never ever leave me, when you aren’t close to me I used to feel as I had lost my life”
She asked and looked directly into his eyes. He blinks her eyelashes agreeing to her.
“No promise me properly.”
She said with teary eyes, red nose. He again pulled her close to him harshly making her look into his anger filled eyes. She was looking into his eyes but didn’t get scared and after a while saw him smiling.
He came close to her and brushed his cheeks against her making her gasp at the contact of his beard to her soft cheeks and held her arms tightly and bringing her hand to his lips he kissed the back of her hands and looks at her.
“Promise.”
She heard him and hugged him tightly.
“I will love you till my last breath”
She mumbled getting close to his chest.
“My every breath runs just for you”
She heard him as she felt his hands encircling on her waist.
“When you aren’t with me, my breath stops running”
She said and he broke the hug.
“Do you trust me?”
Her eyes welled up hearing him as she just wanted to shout in front of the world and wanted to yell that she does, she do trust him but her words got stuck in her throat. She wasn’t able to see or think anything more, she just saw his smiling face. That smile, which she wants to see every morning she wakes up, near her side, close to her, in her life. For every second, she want him besides her, her being in his embrace. Her ears getting the pleasure of hearing his heartbeat. But last she saw him vanishing and she held is collar.
“You can’t leave me again, you promised, you did. You can’t.”
She asked in anger and looked into his eyes when he held her hand and pushed her breaking her illusion of him being near her.
“Vansh………..”
Riddhima shouts and opens her eyes with a jerk and she looks around to see none there. None was there. Absolutely no one. She is all alone fighting from the world, her fears and most importantly her illusions of him being near her.
Her eyes again fell on the shirt in her hand. She hugged it tightly
“Vansh…how can you leave me when you promised me to protect me. If you’re with me, then no problem can come around me, nothing will happen to me. Then why you broke that promise”
She lays down on the floor soaking her dress completely into water and closes her eyes again clutching the shirt and sobbing.
The End….
