Hii everyone! TU is so khaali khaali, so I posted returning from school đ yes today I was late toh 5:30 ko ghar aayiÂ
Hearing the voice of curtains opening, she sat with a jolt. Her aunt is going to beat her up for sleeping till late. She squeezed her tightly being scared of the upcoming slap.
âGood morning MamJiâ A sweet fumble voice reached her ears.
Riddhima rubbed her eyes and opened them, looking at the old figure standing infront of her with a slight smile.
â I am D Souza. The head maid of VR Mansion. You should get ready, itâs your first day at the kitchen.â She said politely, and Riddhima passed her a smile.
âSure. I will be in 15 minutes.â Riddhima said getting up.
The doors of the room opened, and Vansh frowned seeing the two ladies standing. D Souza bowed her head down seeing him, while he took his clothes and Riddhima silently watched it happening.
âLeaveâ
D Souza rushed out of the room, and Riddhima was sad at his cold tone.
âAt leastâŚâ
âI didnât talk to you. Do whatever you want to donât talk to me and interfere in my things.â Vansh said and left Riddhima confused and sad.
âNow how will I talk to him about studyingâŚaghh! Forget it Riddhima. You will never be able to do the biotech course.â Riddhima said to herself moving towards the washroom.
Being the first day, Riddhima was asked to wear a saree, which was a difficult task for her. Wrapping the saree as she knew, Riddhima slowly peeked out of the door to see a group of servants standing together.
âExcuse me!â She slowly whispered, audible to only one of them.
She was a young girl, probably of her age only. She smiled at reached to Riddhima.
âYes mam. Do you need any help?â She asked looking at Riddhima who was hiding herself from curtains.
âDo you know how to wear a saree?â Riddhima asked her.
âYes mam. I will help you.â
Riddhima let her inside and carefully watched her doing the pletes and wrapping and pinning it perfectly.
âWhatâs your name?â Riddhima asked at her genuine behaviour.
âI am Julia. Daughter of Mrs. D Souza.â She said with a smile.
âWhy donât you study?â Riddhima asked, she had an opportunity!
âI do study. I am in 12th class this year. Sir handles our education expenses, so when we are free I try to work and repell them.â Julia said.
âRiddhima beta! If you are ready please come itâs getting late!â
The voice of her grand mother in law reached her ears. Riddhima held the pletes of the saree lifting them up and slowly walked downstairs.
âShe is looking so beautiful. God save her from evil eyes. Thu thu thuâ Her orthodox grandmother said to her.
Riddhima silently passed a fake smile, she was the reason of this unwanted marriage.. well now itâs high time she should forget everything for herself.
âYou know how to cook? Because generally these days girls know all about is fashion only.â Anupriya, Riddhimaâs mother in law asked.
âJi mummyji. I know how to cookâ Riddhima said⌠merely whispered.
âOhk then. Make todayâs breakfast as the ritual.â Anupriya said and went away.
Mrs D Souza was still standing behind, looking at Riddhima who was sad. At least she wished to have a family..but looks like she will never get what she wants.
âMamJiâŚcomeâ D Souza guided her.
âPlease donât call me MamJi. I feel very badâ Riddhima said to her.
D Souza chuckled, and looked at her.
âItâs the truth. You are our MamJi. Our Masterâs queen.â D Souza said to her.
WellâŚRiddhima didnât understand. But she didnât wanted to talk more so she silently started cooking up breakfast. She made aloo ke paranthe, sandwiches and gajar ka halwa.
Everything was served into the table, and all the Rai Singhanias gathered for their breakfast. Vansh took his seat at the head chair, while Ishani moved towards the side of him, where she always sat but was now stopped by Indrani.
âIshani. Thatâs Riddhimaâs place from now. You can sit here.â Indrani stopped Ishani from sitting next to Vansh.
âOh now this yesterday came girl will take my place?â Ishani taunted.
Riddhima silently stood at the kitchen door. She could take any seat. At least she doesnât have to sit on the floor here. While the argument went on, Riddhimaâs eyes roamed on the dining and living room, which looked marvelous to her. Her lips automatically turned into smile when she matched it with a fairytale.
ďżź
âRiddhima!â
The voice broke her trance as she flinched, Ishani was sitting somewhere else so Riddhima silently took place near Vansh, who didnât even pay heed to her.
Riddhima served him everything and he ate without speaking a word. Most of all praised Riddhima for her eminent cooking skills at young age, while same made wird faces saying she is indeed a good worker.
âVansh.. give some gift to her.â Anupriya said to Vansh who was wiping his hands.
âAnd why will I?â Vansh asked back.
âItâs a ritual, and she made such nice food. She deserves one.â Indrani said looking at Riddhima lovingly.
âI didnât get anythingâ Vansh said expresionlessly.
âItâs fine. Riddhima will tell what she wants. Say Riddhima. What do you want? Jewelries, cars, or anything you want. Vansh can get the whole world on your feet.â Chanchal exclaimed happily.
Is it the right time?
Riddhima was in a deep thought, she clutched her clothes, being scared to ask what she wants. What if all get angry? Or throw her out of the house? What if her husband gets very angry and beats her up?
Riddhima looked at Vansh with a corner of her eyes, but his intense gaze made her more frightened.
âI donât have all dayâŚâ Aryan said leaving the table, and so did Ishani.
Vansh was lost in other thoughtsâŚwhat if she asks something weird? Or a divorce? He canât afford it against his reputation.
Riddhima opened her one eye taking look of all of them, and Vansh holds her hand making her more scared, as Vansh knew will happen. She directly, looked into Vansh eyes and said mustering all the courage she had
âI want to study more..â
