Broken Relations- II

This shot is the continuation of “Broken Relations- I”.

___________________________

Riddhima thinks it to be good to get married to Viraj before her baby bump appears or that could just make another bad impact on their lives. Reminiscing about the past she could feel disgusted by remembering the night she had spent with Vansh. It was her mistake only, that neither she remembered anything in the drunk state nor he, it’s about the night when she was drunk.

Remembering how Kabir added that drug in their meethi bhaat. She remembered about when she got to know about her pregnancy in the outhouse. Closing her eyes, she remembered when dadi came to meet her.

“No…No…I can’t be…” She said and feel on the floor holding her stomach. “How can this be possible? We were never intimate and I know Vansh won’t cross his limits, it can be false even. This pregnancy kit can even false result. Yes, that can happen.”

Wiping her tears, Riddhima got up and dispatched the kit in the dustbin. Grabbing the bag, she was about to move towards the door but as soon as she opened she saw Dadi and Angre there, she looked at them and was about to close the door when Angre held it.

“Bhabhi, atleast listen to us.” Angre said keeping his legs between the doors.

“On one condition, there is no relation between us.” She said and looked as he nodded. Dadi entered in while she asked Angre to stay outside. 

Looking at Riddhima, dadi felt bad and asked her to sit. Riddhima looked at the lady she remembered how everyone threw her in the outhouse. “Dadi, if you are here to do anything like giving a chance to this relation then you are here with fa….”

“Riddhima, calm down. I know you are not wrong this time. Vansh is at fault, he should understand you for once and he should give a chance to this relation. But until now you were trying to correct him and that was it, now if you want to leave everything and move on. Then I’m with you, you can. Just I want will you be happy after moving on from Vansh?“

Not getting anything, she looked at Dadi as she turned to go. “Dadi, one minute.” She said and wiped her tears.

Getting up, she moved to the table and looked at the divorce papers. Taking a pen, she signed it. Dadi saw it and felt hurt that now nothing is going to happen. It was the end. Taking another paper, Riddhima started writing. Done with it, she moved to Dadi and handed it over to her. “I’ll move on…”

When according to her, Vansh was no more. How can she even move on? “If you want, I’ll ask Angre to do arrangement of your staying.”

“No dadi, I’ll be leaving this place by tonight.” She said and saw hers sad face.

“Where you’ll go?” She asked and kept her hand on her head. Shaking her head, she said no.

Meeting with Viraj was just a coincidence that happened in the railway station. He was on wheelchair then, it was due to an accident. But thing Riddhima liked in him was he was just exactly opposite of the previous Riddhima. A person who never gives up, he never give up.

Talking and chatting with Riddhima, he appointed her as his physio. Not agreeing to it first as it was just the same way Vansh asked for Siya’s physiotherapy. She politely refused to it.

Looking blankly at her file at that time, she took a deep breath and wished to get the job in this hospital. It wasn’t easy she wasn’t that experienced person. But may be her luck, they appointed her and then the issue was the place she is going to live. Her leftover money was from her last job, which was of just 500 rupees per day. She remembered that time it was difficult but her being an alone girl in the hostel, it wasn’t.

But now it was when she is pregnant, it’s about her child’s safety. Not getting where to go, when all the landlord had refused to keep an alone girl. Taking a step further more than her capacity, she decided to buy a flat on rent. It wasn’t even possible. She was stuck but going back now was never an option, she can’t even think of going back when she is pregnant and that to with Vansh’s child.

When he was alive, she was attacked so many times and when now he was dead, there was no chance they would leave them alive. Viraj was the name that stuck her, finding his location she agreed to be his personal physio. He wasn’t aware of her pregnancy until he saw her reports.

With the completion of her job of treating him, when he kept the offer of her staying with him as a PG. He never used to return in late night, which she thought him to be busy in his business, his business. It wasn’t his ancestor’s well developed, flourished business. He started it by his own.

Remembering Riddhima felt hurt that how they grew close not as lovers but as friends.

And then it was the time when the father’s name was asked in the hospital, when she went for her sonography. It was Viraj who went a step ahead and gave his name. Although Riddhima was hurt that she couldn’t give Vansh’s name but even how she can, she’ll be given names. She’ll be asked so many questions as if even after being pregnant with one’s child she was living with some other man. Who would remember that she was just a paying guest, no one would.

Thinking deeply, she decided to leave the place the next day. But he stopped her, understanding her dilemma, he agreed to marry her for the sake of her child. Which shocked her to the core? Why would anyone give his name to someone else child? Why would he? But on asking, he could only tell her he liked her and that was the reason. She was still hesitant.

Viraj, a child who entered in VR Mansion at the age of 5 when Vansh was in abroad for his studies, and then left at 13 when Ajay died. He never saw Vansh, never met him, and even don’t know about him, agreed to marry his ex-wife. And now he was called by Dadi to come back for his marriage, immediately he agreed thinking it would uplift Riddhima’s mood.

——————-

In Mumbai:

Next Morning, Everyone was busy in decorating the Mansion to welcome their other son who was coming back after so long. None knew of him as he was never mentioned in the family. How would they even when except for Dadi and Siya none loved him. Vansh wasn’t aware and rest hates him for being a good hearted person.

Sound of bell ringing, made Dadi excited to see her other grandson. In that excitement, she herself went to open the door and when she saw Riddhima with him. She was shocked, shocked to the core. It was Riddhima who promised her that she would never come back.

But it was the thing that shocked her, it was that she was unconscious in Viraj’s arms. “Viraj?? This??”

“Dadi, after sometime…” He said and got in. Settling her on the sofa, he kneeled down in front of her. “Riddhima…Riddhima…”

He said patting her cheeks but she didn’t woke up. He rubbed his head and saw as Aryan brought water for her. “Thank you…” He said in an extreme low voice.

Being in shock, Aryan didn’t knew how he brought water for him. Dadi went and rubbed her feet while Viraj sprinkled the water on her face. He released his breath, when he saw her breaths getting normal and her eyes opening.

Relaxed he kept a pillow under her head. “Are you okay?” She nodded hearing him and held her head. Just when she saw Dadi next to her feet which shocked her and she remembered that she fainted due to shock of not able to believe that she was back to VR Mansion.

“I…How come we are here?” He heard her and saw as she got up holding her head.

“Riddhima, this is only my dadi and this is my family.” Only if he didn’t have held her tightly, she was sure to faint again due to the continuous shock. Another shock was when she saw Vansh entering in with Angre.

Even for a while, she believed him to be Vansh and was about to run and hug him when she remembered him to Vihaan. She closed her eyes and tears came out on its own. She wasn’t supposed to be back to the place she was.

Vansh, who looked at her was shocked and numb. Not getting how to react he just wished that she would come and engulf him into a tight hug and that would be the end he won’t let anyone come in between them and that was his ego, his ego didn’t agreed with his heart that he should go and talk to her. He looked at Siya and remembered that it was Riddhima who attacked him.

Dadi and Siya looked at the small eye lock they had. Dadi, who knew everything and now when it was about four people’s lives, she was willing to take an opportunity to talk to it. When she looked at Vansh as he who looked away and wiped his tears.

“Viraj? She?” Anupriya asked breaking the silence as everyone looked at Viraj.

“Oh Aunty, she is Riddhima. My would-be wife” He said with a wide smile and in response he got was their shocked reaction.

“Are you sure?” Kabir asked looking at Riddhima. Viraj who was not ready for this question gave him a questioning look. “I mean. That’s good, Kabir here, your brother.”

He said and hugged him. In the mid of the hug, he looked at Riddhima’s shocked reaction.

“Riddhima di, you need rest. Come I’ll show you the room.” Siya said and saw as Riddhima looked at her.

.

Moving through the corridor, Siya held her hand. “Bhabhi” Riddhima looked at her and hugged her tightly breaking down in front of her.

“Siya…” She said and Siya heard her sobs. Her pregnancy had even made her more emotional. But then she jerked open her eyes and holding her hand pulled her inside a room, “Siya, why is Kabir and Anupriya are here? Didn’t you told everyone about them?”

“Bhabhi, Angre jiju and dadi stopped me as jiju is trying to take the backup of the CCTV footage.” Shocked Riddhima looked at her.

“Are you all mad? When everyone would have believed you itself then what’s need of backup? She asked and closed her eyes in disappointment. Vihaan was supposed to be here to throw Anupriya and Kabir, and there he was enjoying Vansh’s luxurious life.

“Bhabhi, according to them. I have a memory loss and I didn’t remember you even that happened I had a memory loss but I remembered everything just two weeks back.” Riddhima didn’t get what she should call them.

“Did they hurt anyone here?” Riddhima asked concerned “Dadi? Ishani? Chachi? Anyone?”

“No when Vansh bhai is here. No one can ever hurt anyone.” She said and looked at Riddhima taking deep breath. “Relax bhabhi, you sit. How you fainted outside?”

Riddhima heard and sat down on the bed and saw as she gave her water.

.

.

The day went in simply and it was about 12 pm in the night, when Riddhima silently tip-toed towards Vansh’s room where Vihaan was sleeping peacefully according to her. Knocking on the door, she waited for him to open.

Vansh who was sitting with his laptop, heard a knock and closing the laptop went towards the door. Opening it, he felt as if he got his heartbeat back on seeing Riddhima in front of her.

Meanwhile, she held his collar as she saw him opening the door. Holding his collar, she pinned him to the wall and closed the door.

“Had I brought you here to take my Vansh place?” She yelled in a calm yet furious way which shocked him.

“Huh…?” He asked and looked at her face. Her mumbling soft glossy pink lips, her two strands of hair coming on her face, her light pink chubby cheeks, her hazel brown eyes, her melodious voice was only thing he could think of. Looking at their close proximity, while she was holding his collar and looking into his eyes, his hands wrapped around her waist tightly, he wished this to be real.

“Vihaan…” She shouted his fake name which he had forgot a long time and that’s when he realized that she still thinks him to be Vihaan.
