Chapter-60
In VR Mansion:-
Vansh and Riddhima were ready in there bridal attire in their respective room.
Usually bride and grooms are hesitant on their marriage but it was completely different in their situation. Well they weren’t getting married for the first time so it was ok.
———————————————————-
Riddhima was looking herself in the mirror when the room door flung open, she jumped getting scared but on seeing the person she inhaled a deep breath.
Riddhima- Sejal you scared me like hell, what was that and why are you crying?
Sejal- Nothing happened to me actually something went into my eyes while I was opening the door and it was the reason why I did that.
She said pointing at the door.
Riddhima- Ohk…….. Why are you here?
Sejal- Nothing I just want to tell you something…..
Sejal said fidgeting with her fingers while Riddhima looked at her raising her eyebrows.
Riddhima- Sejal, is something wrong. I never saw my brave Sejal this nervous.
Sejal- Riddhima, actually……………….
——————————————————
Riddhima was standing at the staircase with a smile on her face and came down with Sejal and Ishani on beside her.
Vansh who was sitting in front of holy fire carrying no expression on his face but as he saw Riddhima a smile crept on his lips. Even Riddhima passed him her most precious smile but there eyes were enough to scream the pain their heart was carrying.
She came and sat beside him while priest was chanting mantra. Both didn’t looked at each other knowing there partner will get to know that something was wrong.
Priest ask them to stand up for garland exchange, both stood up and taking the garlands from priest they turned and faced each other. A painful but a smile was still there on their face.
Vansh forwarded the garland he was holding made her wore while Riddhima even did the same. Both sat back while the priest was chanting the mantra while adding ghee to the holy fire.
When priest asked to call Riddhima’s father for kanyadaan, all looked at each other with tears in their eyes and Ajay came forward.
Ajay- I’m not her father by blood relation but she is like my daughter.
Saying so he looked at Riddhima who was looking at him with teary eyes he smiled at her and tied their knot and giving a forehead kiss left.
Priest ask them to get up for round around the sacred fire. Vansh was moving forward holding her hands promising every round. Soon 4 rounds were done with Vansh in front. Priest then ask her to come in front. Vansh didn’t moved back and Riddhima came in front of him and now Vansh was following her.
Both sat down as soon as they completed the circumambulation while priest was again chanting mantra.
Priest forwarded the plate which was having nuptial chain and vermillion. He asked Vansh to fill her hairline.
Vansh took the vermillion in a coin and filled her hairline and then tied the nuptial chain around her neck marking her as his.
Both looked at each other unaware of the issues their relation will be holding. Both looked around the hall and saw their family members who were smiling.
Well the smile was too good that the mask they were wearing were completely invisible. Everyone knows a love story without enemies is nothing who knows there life wasn’t easy at all.
Both got up and moved to Sandhya, bowing down they took the blessings and smiled at them. Riddhima hugged her. Then they moved to Ruchi and Veer whose smile wasn’t fake they were indeed smiling wholeheartedly.
Both hugged them and then moved to Ajay and Uma who were smiling and Uma was holding Arjun. Riansh took their blessings and Riddhima planted a kiss at Arjun’s forehead who held her fingers and kept it in his mouth. As he was too small, approximately of one week.
Riddhima smiled at him and while he was chewing her fingers. Ruchi came and tried to remove his hold but he wasn’t holding it too tightly that it was way impossible for her to make him leave it. Vansh saw it and smiled at Arjun and stroke his hair.
It felt as if Arjun got distracted by the touch and left her finger. Veer took him from Uma.
———————————————–
Riddhima was sitting on the bed holding the pillow to her chest confused over her life, she got up and moved to the vanity and looked at her dress up.
Her teary eyes were holding the pain, her red bridal attire which she wore to impress Vansh, her smudged Kajal, her cheeks were wet why not she tried her best to control them but to whom will they listen. She removed her necklace and kept it on the table and as soon as she removed all her necklace, she moved to the closet and taking her night changed into it.
She was aware that this night must be special for others but won’t be for her. Taking the duvet she moved towards the couch and laid there.
After 4-5 minutes, Vansh entered and looked around the room to found none. Then his fell on the petite figure sleeping on the couch. Her cheeks were still wet yelling she was crying.
Vansh moved to her and as he was just an inch away from her, she opened her eyes and looked up to see his attractive face which was looking more handsome today.
Vansh- No need to sleep ……..
Before he could say, Riddhima showed him her hand stopping him.
Riddhima- There is the need, you can sleep there I don’t need any argument further.
Riddhima said and closed her eyes whereas Vansh stood there. She again opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows.
Vansh- I know we loved each other but after knowing don’t expect any participation of mine in this relationship.
Riddhima got up and stood up in front of him.
Riddhima- Neither I have any nor I will. And yeah same is here, truth destroyed our whole life. It would have been better if we never met each other.
She said looking at him and then laid on the couch, whereas after changing his dress Vansh moved towards the bed and laid there.
——————————————————
A girl was sitting in the middle of the mandap burning some pictures in the holy fire around which Vansh and Riddhima took their seven rounds, it was of Riddhima and Vansh.
Girl- Riddhima I gave you an opportunity to live with Vansh for few months but soon again everything will be destroyed and Vansh will only be mine, if you came in between us then again.
Saying so she threw her photo in that fire.
Girl- Oh no I’ll kill you. I already killed many so who are you then.
Saying so she gave their picture a smirk and then getting up came in front of a door and took out her phone.
————————————————
Vansh was sleeping hugging the pillow whereas Riddhima was standing in front of the window gazing at the moon and smiling at her weird fate.
Just then a voice echoed in their room.
Voice- Aaaahhhhhhhhh………………..
Both looked at the each other.
Riansh- Mom………..
Both said as it was Sandhya’s voice.
Vansh- What are you doing there?
Vansh said looking at Riddhima.
Riddhima- Excuse me, why do you care?
Riddhima said raising her eyebrows whereas he face palmed himself and got up.
Vansh- You stay here I’ll check. I don’t want anyone to misunderstand our relationship.
Riddhima came in front of me.
Riddhima- No need she is my mom I can handle everything and by the way everyone knows that there is nothing in our so called marriage so no need to show off……. Waise bhi in our case 5 minutes truth broke our relationship of 5 years.
Saying so she was about to leave when he caught her wrist and pulled her towards himself and then pinned her to the wall.
Vansh- I’m telling you Riddhima no one has the right to talk to me like this. So mind it from now I’m not that easy and calm Vansh of yours. And just stay here.
He left and was about to leave when he heard her voice.
Riddhima- So what the hell you think I love you, then just come out of your dreamland I hate you. That so called smile which wearing downstairs it was just to show everyone that we are happy. So just you mind it I hate you.
He looked at her and giving her a painful smirk left the room while she fell on the floor.
Riddhima- Vansh why can’t you trust me? Why every time I’ll be the one to suffer.
She looked up and saw a person standing there.
Riddhima- You……….
————————————————————
Vansh was roaming around the hall and not finding anyone he then moved to Sandhya’s room and saw her sleeping there facing her back.
To confirm it, he came in and moved to other side of the face and saw her actually sleeping. He inhaled a deep breath and came out.
Vansh- If Mom is sleeping then whose voice was it. Let me ask Veer.
Saying so he moved to Veer’s room and was about to knock.
Vansh- No Vansh, if they will the reason of me standing here in the middle of my wedding night. After all he is Riddhima’s elder brother. I will check tomorrow.
He calmed down himself and made his way to his room.
He entered and just a name came out of his mouth in shock.
Vansh- Riddhima……….

THE END
So the story ends here, well I know it was full of suspense from starting till end. So I will either I’ll a sequel of it or will give an epilogue that depends on you all. SO Regarding the suspension I got the inspiration from two 1- Amyra & 2- Shashwat sirÂ
And yeah if Epilogue then I will clear all suspense in a go and if a sequel then it will take time to start and even that may contain something different not funny like this one was may be dark, s*xual, marital rape or even violence.
So at the end SORRY if through this book I ever hurt anyone. Thank you so much for supporting me throughout the book….
-Yours Niyati
