Crossway- IV

This shot is the continuation of “Crossway- III”.

___________________________

Riddhima looked as Vansh tried and sat back on the bed. Her eyes fell on the window as she moved towards it. Her head was still heavy due to the drink. So thinking to take some fresh air, she moved towards the window.

Looking down, she saw the height. It wasn’t too much but her wet gown wasn’t even enough too. She looked back at him.

Riddhima: Where are we stuck?

She said to herself and then Cris-crossing her has to her chest. Leaning to the window, she closed her eyes and then suddenly she felt herself drowning in some type of headache. Closing her eyes, she felt herself getting drowned into a deep sleep.

She was about to fell from there when she felt him holding her hand. He pulled her to him and held her by her waist to keep her stable. She looked at his blur face.

Vansh: What are you doing? You have still nor overcome that drink. So, first go and change into something. But what?

He asked to himself and moving to the cupboard saw his disarranged clothes. He looked behind at her and saw her looking out. Taking out his shirt and jeans, he came to her.

Vansh: Wear this for now. You can change in the closet.

She looked and with her vision getting blur again and again nodded and went to change. 

Coming out she went to the bed and lying down on the bed, she covered herself with the duvet. She looked as he dimmed the lights and went to sit on the edge of the bed.

She wished to sleep but his presence around her was not letting her sleep peacefully. Taking turns each and every time, whenever she looks she could see his tensed face.

Riddhima: Aryan, if you want you can sleep here.

She said and he didn’t replied. She frowned cause her pitch wasn’t that low. 

Riddhima: Aryan…

She called him and he didn’t replied.

Riddhima: Aaryan…?

She yelled and looked as he saw her finally.

Vansh: You were saying it to me…?

He asked and then looked around, of course no one was there.

Riddhima: Is there any one else? 

She asked and looked as he mumbled something under his breath.

Riddhima: BTW, you can sleep here on the bed. If you want? I know it would be awkward for us.

She said keeping the pillows in between.

Vansh: No thanks!!

She heard him and looked as he got up from there.

Riddhima: Look Aryan, you must be tired after the whole day. Even tomorrow, you have soo many rituals to attend.

Riddhima said and looked as he looked behind at her with amused expression.

Vansh: Rituals??

He asked shocked.

Riddhima: Of course rituals, don’t you want to get married with Ishani? And about door, someone will open it in the morning.

She said and looked at him. He saw as she lied down while her back was facing him. Joining the dots he finally concluded that she is thinking him to be the groom. He was about to speak but then shrugging his thoughts sat there again. 

Craning his neck, he looked at her sleeping form glistening under the moonlight. He smiled and keeping his hand under his head laid down there only. 

.

Daksh peeped in the room again unsatisfied by not finding anyone and saw Vansh holding Riddhima through her waist. A smirk came on his face as soon as he saw them in each other’s arms.

Daksh: Now, I know what I have to do

Exclaiming he took out his phone and took the picture of them. Hiding behind the curtains of the window, he looked at the barrier which was made on the window which wasn’t going to help them in coming out. Leaning there only, he saw him taking her to the bed. Nothing was clearly audible to him due to their hushed voice.

..

Next morning, Vansh opened his eyes as soon as the sun rays fell on his eyes. Feeling a heavy weight on her, he turned and looked at Riddhima to be sleeping on him. On noticing he saw pillows to be on the either side of the bed which gave him the hint that might be she came on him while sleeping.

Thinking it could make her feel awkward cause last night whatever she did was done in inebriated state. He laid her down on the bed and was about to get up, just when her anklets got stuck with his jeans, which made him fall down on the bed again over her. He looked as she opened her eyes and then kept her hand on her head.

Caressing it for a while, she opened her eyes and looked at him over her. Her eyes went wide as she recalled him to be Aryan (Vansh). There, she instantly pushed him down and held her head as soon as she sat.

Riddhima: What are you doing here?

She asked and looked at him shocked.

Vansh: Woah, you are here in my room.

She said and looked at him sitting beside her. Looking around she agreed to it.

Riddhima: Then what I’m doing here?

She asked him and saw as he got down adjusting his shirt.

Vansh: You were drunk last night, and remember water.

She heard him and held her head. The thing which she remembered and thing which he wanted to tell her was completely opposite. Signing, he saw her in deep thoughts.

Moving to the couch, he picked up his phone and dialed to Ishani, which she picked up in a sleeping state.

Ishani: Yes, Vansh bhai?

She asked hiding her face in the pillow to avoid the sunrays. 

Vansh: Ishani, come to my room.

She heard him and humming disconnected the call. Turning around, he looked at Riddhima rubbing her head trying to recall everything. He remembered her words and then went to ask her the things but then he heard a knock on the door.

Going there, he knocked from other side.

Ishani: Bhai?

He heard her voice, while she was yawning.

Vansh: Ishani, open the door.

She did and unlocked the door. Riddhima heard him and instantly got down from the bed thinking what impression this could make on Ishani. But she took a deep breath, when she saw Aryan (Vansh) standing there.

As she turned behind, she couldn’t find Ishani there.

Flashback ends-:

Riddhima closed the gap between her knees and chest; hugging it tightly she looked around the empty room. All she could remember were the things, when they were close not anything else. Cause these were only shown to her by Daksh which she believed easily. And his deal? How could she forget Daksh’s manipulative words?

Soon, she heard a knock on her door and instantly wiping her tears went to check to see him there

.

Vansh was walking around the pavilion while his eyes was roaming around the hall in search of Riddhima. He somehow wished to tell her about him being Vansh, not Aryan but then he thought she might have known that by seeing Aryan with Ishani.

Gulping down the shot, he looked around to see if she was anywhere but when he couldn’t find her. He picked up his phone and dialed to Ishani, who was sitting in front of the holy fire. She looked up at Vansh and raised her eyebrows.

Signing, he directed her to pick up. She did.

Vansh: Where is your friend?

He asked looked at her eyeing him. She shook her head. Disconnecting the call, he kept the phone again.

.

Riddhima looked as Daksh entered into the room.

Daksh: So, Riddhima? 

She said and looked at him.

Riddhima: What are you doing here?

She asked and moved behind.

Daksh: I just came to give you the reminder that today is the last buffer day.

She heard him and raised her eyebrows.

Riddhima: For what?

She asked and looked at him.

Daksh: Our deal? You will give me that and I swe….

Before he could continue, a hard slap landed on his face. He looked at her hand.

Riddhima: You know what, you even don’t know how to blackmail. You think my friend will believe this shit rather than believing me.

She said and saw his red eyes.

Daksh: You slapped me?

He said in a hard voice.

Riddhima: Yes, I did and I swear. I’ll throw you out of this place if you didn’t left.

She said and pushing him went from there.

Daksh: You are going to pay for this slap. 

He said and coming out, held her by her shoulder. Pinning her to the wall, he looked at her.

Riddhima: What the hell, leave me….

She said and saw as he held her hairs in his hand. Taking her chance, she hit him with her fists but that didn’t made any effect on him, as the pain on her scalp was making her shiver. Raising her knees, she kicked him on his groin making him yelp in pain. Holding her head, she looked at him fallen on the floor.

On seeing him there in the semi-conscious state. She immediately found it right to leave from there. 

Daksh: That time, Vansh was there so I left you but now…

Coming to the staircase, she was about to step down in the crowd just when everything around her went blank.

….

Daksh held his thighs and looked as Riddhima was being brought to him by his. He smirked as he saw her unconscious. 

Daksh: Get her in the car. 

He smiled and saw them adjusting her in the dickey.

——————-

Vansh entered in his room and went to pack his bag. As tomorrow he’ll be leaving. Just when he heard the car’s engine to be turned on. Coming to the window, he saw white Mercedes’ car.

Standing there, he looked it to be going from there.

One year later:- (Present time)

Vansh opened his eyes wide as he remembered of the moments that had occurred 12 months before and looked out of the window. He saw the huge trees in front of him while sunrays came piercing from them. Birds chirping voice was clearly audible to him even when the tree house was covered with glasses. 

Feeling a small tug on his chest, he adjusted himself again and closed his eyes. He looked at Riddhima sleeping in his embrace while holding his shirt’s collar in her small fists. A small smile on her lips. 

Pecking on her forehead, he encircled his hands around her waist pulling her more close to himself. 

“Remembering of the time, when she was with Daksh at that abandoned place and he couldn’t even trace her for more than 24 hours and it was Ishani’s friends who told them the next day of her being kidnapped. So, how could he trace her? He wasn’t aware of her contact number. Even if her phone was with her only or not. Just when as he remembered of the CCTV footage of the hotel. He checked it out immediately through which he saw her being taken away in the same Mercedes car which he had seen that day.

With the help of the police of that locality, he had traced the location of that car. On reaching there, he saw it to be in a dumped place. He saw nothing there, no big place, not even a single house, nothing. Confused he asked Aryan to search around everywhere. After searching for two hours around the place, they couldn’t find her.

Aryan looked as Vansh was searching around madly. But even a small trace of her was not possible for them. ‘Vansh, even we could trace Daksh’s location. I have his number’ He said as soon as he remembered. Vansh looked at him and wished to beat him but thinking to save Riddhima first, he did what was told. Tracing his location with the help of police, they found it to be nearby a highway. 

On reaching, they found her lying unconscious there all alone as none of the goons were there. Coming back, they found her to be fine but she had been injected by some drugs from last few days which had made her weak.

After she was fine, she came back to Mumbai to live with her friend, Sejal. Not able to discuss everything with anyone and thinking herself to be all lonely, she found it better to live alone away from everyone.”

Coming out of his thoughts, he looked at her as she opened her eyes and looked at him.

Vansh: Good Morning.

She smiled hearing him and wrapped her tiny arms around his torso.

Riddhima: Good Morning.

She said and looked out of the window. Looking at the peace and calm environment all around her, a smile came on her lips.

“When he came back to Mumbai after searching a lot about her he finally found her location. After arguing a lot with his mind he finally decided to meet her keeping aside his ego and talk to her. When she was sitting in a café, sipping her drink. He finally came to talk with her. Sitting in front of her.”

Flashback starts:-

Sipping on her drink, Riddhima opened her eyes and choked on seeing Vansh sitting in front of her. Getting shocked, she looked around to see everyone busy in there own work.

Riddhima: What are you doing here?

She asked him and looked as he removed his googles and kept his hands on the table

Vansh: It’s a café, Riddhima. I came to enjoy here.

He said and saw as she rolled her eyes at him. Grabbing her bag, she got up and moved to pay the bill.

Vansh: Riddhima, at least listen to you.

She heard him and paying the bill turned back.

Riddhima: It’s a café, Vansh. Enjoy here.

Saying so she turned and left from the café. Coming out he saw her taking a taxi. Before the driver could drive the taxi, he got in.

Riddhima: What that hell are you doing here? Move out…

She yelled glaring at him.

Taxi Driver: Is he also coming with you, ma’am?

Driver asked as he saw Vansh entering. But before she could refuse, Vansh interrupted her.

Vansh: Yes.

He said and signed the driver to drive.

Riddhima: What no…!!

Riddhima exclaimed and looked at Vansh.

Vansh: Riddhima, listen to me for once.

She heard him and sat straight.

Riddhima: I don’t want to listen.

She said and saw his pleading eyes.

Vansh: Just for once, Riddhima.

Vansh pleaded throwing his puppy eyes at her.

Riddhima: Just once and after that you will leave.

He heard her words.

Vansh: Why will I leave? Anyway, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have lied from you, it would have been better. I’m sorry.

She heard him and looked at him.

Riddhima: Done?

He nodded hearing her.

Riddhima: Now leave…

She said and was about to stop the taxi.

Vansh: So you forgave me…?

He asked and she looked at him. Taking her back seat she showed her blank expressions to him.

Vansh: See, I know my sorry won’t cure that I have hurt your feelings but…

He said and was interrupted by her.

Riddhima: Why you care? You should leave, it must be getting late for your BUSINESS and me a SIMPLE girl? Why you have to care about me? Just go…

She said and saw him opening and closing his mouth.

Riddhima: See, I told you. Anyway, you had got thousands of opportunities to tell me. Even in engagement, there were so many rituals. Even that nigh…

She was about to say but then craned her neck looking at the driver. Holding his collar, she pulled him closer to her and whispered. 

Riddhima: If Daksh wouldn’t have told me in his frustration you won’t have cared to tell me about that night even…? Why you care whether I live in delusion or not?

She said and left him, moving back he looked at her and before he could say he heard the taxi driver.

Taxi Driver: We have reached.

Before Riddhima could pay, Vansh paid him and saw her glaring at him.

Riddhima: You stay here, arguing with your mind that when you have to listen to your heart and when to your mind.

Saying so she got down from the taxi. He came out and saw her leaving. 

.

Sitting there in the park, all alone. All he could do was think of her words. Well she didn’t said anything too hard but it was getting hard for him to decode her words.

Decoding her words, when he went to meet her he found that she had left. Thinking it to be late, he was going back when he saw her sitting with her bag on the bus stop. Water droplets from heaven fell on him marking a small smile on his lips as he saw her sitting there in the midnight.

Rushing he went to her, she looked up at his wet form. Kneeling down in front of her he looked into her eyes.

Vansh: I’m sorry.

She heard him and closed her eyes frustrated by his ‘Sorry’

Vansh: No, not that one I’m sorry for being a dumb. I should have that night only when you had told me about you thinking it to be mine and Ishani’s wedding. What how was I supposed to know that Daksh is going to blackmail you from all this?

He said and saw her looking at him.

Riddhima: Really? If I hadn’t been kidnapped, you wouldn’t even have told me. Tell me? Weren’t you leaving next day, leaving me in the guilt that I had cheated on my own friend that night?

She asked him with tears in her eyes, which got mixed with the rainfall. He saw as she looked away. 

Vansh: I was about to tell you the next day but then I thought that you would have seen Aryan and Ishani’s wedding. And…

He was interrupted by her.

Riddhima: And why you have to be worried whether I feel hurt about it or not? That’s actually right, you know what just leave it now…

She said and saw bus coming there. Getting up, she grabbed her bag and was about to leave when he held her hand.

Vansh: Where are you going?

He asked and she looked at his grip on hers.

Riddhima: You shouldn’t be worried about me. Leave my hand…

Tightening his grip, he pulled her to him and looking at the bus driver, signed him to move. As she saw the bus leaving, she looked at him angrily but then not willing to stretch the matter sat there only again. 

He saw her sitting and getting wet under the rain. So taking out his jacket, he made her wear it.

Vansh: Our we done with our fighting?

She heard his question and looked down blankly on the floor as tears came out from her eyes. Holding her hand, he pulled her to him.

Vansh: I love you…

She heard him and then looked at him.

Vansh: I said I Love you, at least give me some reaction.

She heard him and after a while of looking at his face a smile came on her lips.

Riddhima: Weird proposal ever.

She said laughing. Seeing her laughing, he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Riddhima: I love you…

She said and kept her hands on his shoulders.

Vansh: I know that…

He said smiling and saw as she kept her head on his shoulder.

Riddhima: I’m tired now…

She said and looked at his face.

Vansh: Really? But I didn’t do anything till now.

He said and saw as she raised her eyebrows at him.

Flashback ends-:

A small chuckle escaped his lips, gaining her attention. Lying over him again she looked at him.

Riddhima: Whom are you thinking about?

She asked and saw as he flipped her around.

Vansh: You..

He said huskily and rubbed his nose with her. 

…

Riddhima smiled seeing him, pressing her soft petals over his she kissed him and remembered how he brought her away from everyone in the middle of that same jungle, same crossway where they had first meet, in his own made tree house; telling it to be one of his fantasy. Romantic and adventurous, even when they are just in a live-in relationship then how many fantasies he would be carrying around after getting married.

Riddhima felt his hands roaming around her waist as he entered his tongue inside her mouth. Closing her eyes, she felt him tasting her. Being tired cause of last night, she didn’t respond the kiss with the same passion and gave him the lead. Sucking and nibbling her lips with his, he left them.

Tracing his tongue from his lips to her jaws and then to her neck, he travelled it to her shoulder. Sucking her soft spot he was about to bite it when she pushed him.

Riddhima: Good MORNING.

She said emphasizing the word ‘Morning’ making him groan.

Vansh: I can close the curtains.

He said again moving close to her when she kept her hand on his bare chest making him stop.

Riddhima: I’m hungry.

She said and saw a smirk on his lips.

Vansh: That’s what I’m doing.

He said and saw as she got up. He looked at her hot figure while she was only in his shirt. She got up and moved towards the door. Getting up, he followed her and saw her entering in the kitchen.

He smirked as he saw her picking up a bowl and a knife, moving to the kitchen slab she kept them there and started chopping vegetables. A sudden shiver ran through her body as she felt his hands inside her shirt. Craning she saw his face on her shoulder and him moving forward. Her eyes widened as she saw him picking up another knife.

Riddhima: Vansh, no…

She yelled and moved away from him but her hands on her waist kept her still on her place.

Vansh: What? I was just going to help you.

He said coming back. She relaxed as she saw him picking up another onion. Cracking the eggs in a bowl, she added and milk in it; as she was about to whisk it. She felt him grabbing her hands. She saw as he holding her hand started doing it with her. While with one hand on hers, and other inside her shirt he didn’t let her even hold it.

She felt his hands moving to her buttons. Holding the front placket, he broke the last button of his shirt. She pushed him with her elbow and start with her work. Moving beside her, he sat on the slab while looking at her. As she kept the plate in the microwave, turning back she came to him.

Riddhima: Vansh, when are we going to get married?

She asked and kept her head on his chest. Encircling his protective arms around her petite form, he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Vansh: Soon…

He said and just when they heard a roar which made her hold him tightly.

Vansh: But after that we will be back here only.

She heard him and looked up at him, shocked.

Riddhima: Why? We won’t

She asked and saw a smirk on his face.

Vansh: Why not, otherwise if not how would I enjoy you being close to me?

Mature Content starts:-

He said and saw as she ignoring him went to the microwave. Moving to her, he hugged her tightly sniffing her scent. She smiled closing the microwave.

Riddhima: What Vansh?

She asked turning back, he shook his head in ‘No’. Helping her sit on the slab, he picked up the fork and taking a bite forwarded it to her. 

He saw as she fed him. Keeping his hands on her thighs, she looked at him. Moving closer to her he stood between her legs with a smirk on his lips. She saw as he pulled her further to him. Moving to her face, he went close to her neck. Sucking her soft spot, he bit there which didn’t help her in holding the plate firmly. 

Keeping the plate aside, she felt him sucking it which made her moan. His hands slowly traveled inside her pants, cupping her he felt her encircling her hands around his neck pulling him closer. Throwing her head back, she felt him flicking over her clit. Slowly rubbing it with his chilled hand, he entered his one finger inside her. 

Moving back, he inserted it further and looked as she grabbed the slab tightly. Picking up the fork with the other hand, he forwarded it to her. She felt a sharp object on her lips, opening her eyes slightly she saw him keeping the fork on her lips. As she opened her eyes, he inserted another figure making her moan his name loudly. 

Riddhima: Vansh…

Taking in the bite, she was about to chew it when he inserted another one, forgetting about everything she gulped it down.

He smirked as he felt her muscles clenching around his fingers. As she reached near her orgasm he started to increase the pressure. Moving closer to her, he took her lips into his. Chewing her lips, he felt her orgasm touching the tip of his fingers. After a second, she came all over his fingers. 

Sucking her lips, he rubbed her back making her relaxed. Lowering her head to his face, she looked at his black orbs as he picked her up.

——————-

Riddhima smiled as she saw Aryan keeping her hand on Vansh. She looked at pandit ji who asked them to get up. Circumambulating around the fire, she felt him holding her hand. With a small smile, she looked to see only Ishani, Aryan and some other guests. He didn’t preferred to call so many peoples.

She looked as he put the nuptial chain around her neck and then applied vermillion in her head. She smiled remembering how easily two people from different ways collide with each other, which further brings them together forever.
