Chapter-29
Author’s POV:-
Coming out of the washroom, she looked at him standing near the door leaning to it. She went to him and stood in front of him. He looked down at her form and smiled.
Vansh: Come…
He said and pulled her with him. She smiled seeing his grip on her hand, his fingers entangled with hers. She looked as he brought her out in front of the main door. Turning back, he looked at her and then excitedly tied the blindfold.
Riddhima: What are you doing?
She asked feeling him taking her somewhere. She felt herself climbing down something. Assuming it to be stairs, she followed him. Suddenly he left her hand, thinking it to be an indication she was about to open the blindfold, when a tug there and it fell in her hand. She opened her eyes and looked around.
She saw snow covered around the mansion, a smile came on her lips. Small petals of cherry blossom flowers scattered under the tree, while a peaceful scent was filled across the area. She turned around but didn’t found him anywhere.
Confused, she looked around. When she felt his husky voice near her ears.
Vansh: Remember!
She heard his voice and was about to turn around when he kept his hand on her shoulder.
Vansh: Remember! You had told Aryan, that how much you love snow.
She heard him and after thinking for a while, nodded.
Riddhima: But, how do you know this?
She asked him without turning back. His breaths were coming close to her ears.
Vansh: Riddhima, you might have forgotten that he is my brother before he became your friend.
He said and she didn’t get him perfectly still nodded.
Riddhima: Than…
He heard her and before she could say he snaked his hands covered with gloves across her waist.
Vansh: Don’t say.. All this is just to see this smile on your face.
She heard him and looked as his face came in front of her vision.
—————-
Aadhya looked as Angre gave her the file, which she had to complete today. She looked down at her sprained leg.
Angre: It’s ok Aadhya, you can take a leave for few days. You definitely need a rest.
She nodded hearing him and then passing him a smile got indulged in her work. Taking few deep breaths, she tried to think on a particular thing but every time she did she was just able to think was the words of Aryan.
“Why are you explaining all this to me? I don’t want your justification. Come on, leave right away. And I swear if I went to tell bhai of the things you mother and daughter did to my bhabhi, the things I can’t even imagine would be done to you.“
Who was she? Why was she here? Whom she be? Who is his bhabhi? Her questions were like never ending but the thing which was bothering her more was why was she tensed about all this?
With the thoughts running, she tried to complete her work and not to make any mistake. But even typing a single word was getting tough for her. Gulping down the water, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. A pat came on her shoulder, she turned around and saw Angre there.
Angre: Are you okay?
She nodded forcing a smile on her face and saw as he forwarded her a cup of coffee.
Angre: Doesn’t seen so, if you want you can take a leave.
He said and saw her looking at her work.
Aadhya: No sir, it’s ok. I’ll manage.
He heard and nodded thinking it to be ok for her. She turned around seeing him leaving.
.
Completing her work, Aadhya moved picked up her bag and moved towards Aryan’s cabin. Dragging her feet on the floor, she knocked on the door and heard his voice ‘come-in’.
Aadhya: Sir, file.
She said and saw him busy in checking some file. He didn’t saw her and just nodded. She kept the file and was about to leave when suddenly the door opened. She saw as Angre entered in. He looked at her and saw her difficulty in walking.
Angre: Come, I’ll drop you.
He said in a gentle voice and she shook her head immediately.
Aadhya: No sir, i..it’s ok.
Angre was about to ask again but then thinking it could make her feel awkward.
Angre: It’s ok, but about your leave? Did he agree?
She nodded and turned back looking Aryan who was lost in his file unknown about their conversation. Turning back, she smiled at Angre and left from there. Angre looked at her retreating figure and a smile came on his lips.
Angre: Aryan, where are you lost?
He asked and saw as Aryan turned around shaking his head in ‘no’. Angre nodded at him and took the file from the table which he came to take.
Aryan moved to the window and looked down at the traffic of Mumbai city and just when his eyes feel on Aadhya, who was waiting there for her cab. He saw as she got in and every attack on her and him came in his mind but then as he remembered of her a small smile came on his face. His mind went calm remembering of her words.

After 10 days:
Vansh stretched his arm as finally from last two days he was free from that arm sling. He smiled and saw as Riddhima band-aid his wound. Getting up, she took the medicine and gave it to him.
Riddhima: Vansh, now when you are okay? May we go back to India?
Riddhima said and he saw as she raised her eyebrows at him.
Vansh: But, what’s the rush? We can leave after few months.
He said and saw as her eyes went wide.
Riddhima: Months?
She asked shocked.
Vansh: You want for years? I won’t mind.
He said and gulped down the medicine with a smirk. She shook her head in no.
Riddhima: No, I mean why for months? W…We can leave after few weeks or days.
He heard her and pulled her to him. She sat on his lap and looked at his face.
Vansh: You don’t want to stay alone with me?
He asked in an innocent voice.
Riddhima: It’s nothing like that but…
Before she could say he interrupted her and looked at her face.
Vansh: Then it’s ok, right? Anyway, will you come with me?
She raised her eyebrows at him, confused.
Riddhima: Where?
She asked and saw as he made her got up.
Vansh: Just for a dinner.
He said and saw her nodding.
Riddhima: But outside.
She said with a hope in her eyes. He was about to refuse but then with a smirk nodded at her.
.
Riddhima smiled as she saw a black dress in front of her eyes. Excited, she picked it up and twirling it around looked at the perfect design and cut made on it. Although it was short for her but when she have an idea over it. She looked at Vansh who saw her excited face.
Riddhima: Is this for me?
She asked him while looking at the dress.
Vansh: Of course. Now go and change, I’ll be waiting for you outside in the car.
He said and saw as she nodded. As soon as he saw her leaving, he came out.
He smirk and looked at his phone screen. Dialing to Angre, he kept his phone on his ears.
Angre: Yes Boss.
He said in a professional tone.
Vansh: Are you keeping an eye on them?
He asked while looking at the clear route in front of him.
Angre: Yes boss, I’ll inform you if anything happens.
He said and Vansh hummed on his words.
Angre: Boss? When are you coming….?
As soon as he said he heard a beep sound from phone. Looking at the screen he saw it to be disconnected. Signing he again got indulged in his work.
Vansh looked at the door of Villa eagerly waiting for her to come down. Just when his eyes fell on her he saw her coming to him with the same dress but with different design. He frown and looked carefully as he saw her wearing the same knee-length bodycon dress but with a black leggings over it.
A smile came on his lips as he got to know she was not comfortable in it still she didn’t refuse to wear it rather took out a way from it. Be it a knee-length dress or with those leggings she was definitely meant to look ethereal in everything she had. She came and stood in front of him with a wide smile on her face.
Vansh: Come, Get in.
He said and opened the side of the car for her. She saw as he signed her to get-in. Getting in she sat down and wore her seat-belt.
Getting in he started driving with a blank expression on his face which made her think he wasn’t happy with her wearing this dress.
..
Reaching there, she saw as he forwarded his hand to her for her to come out. She did and saw as he began moving with her. Not knowing anything about the place, she entangled her fingers with him. He saw her holding his arm in a tight grip and their fingers entangled with each other.
She saw many people sitting there. Not getting why like every time he didn’t brought her to an empty place. Just when the manager came and stood in front of them. She saw as he directed her to a table away from the crowd. Sitting there, she saw as he sat down in front of her.
Vansh: So, What would you like to have?
She heard him and saw as a waiter stood and passed them the menu. Opening it, she looked at each and every dish which were of course unknown to her. Pulling down the menu up to her eyes, she looked at him going through his menu.
Biting her lips, she passed her a confused smile to the waiter who was waiting for them to order. She looked as Vansh was about to order when she interrupted him.
Riddhima: We’ll order after sometime.
He looked at her amused and saw as she passed a smile to the waiter as he left.
Vansh: What? Any problem?
She heard him as soon as she find them is alone.
Riddhima: Nothing, but can we go back?
She asked and saw as he looked at her confused. Keeping his hand on hers, he looked in her eyes.
Vansh: What happened?
She heard and saw him looking around eyeing at everyone.
Riddhima: No…actually it’s just..
She said and felt a lil’ press on her palm.
Riddhima: I don’t know about any of those dishes.
She asked and saw as he heard her and took off his hands from her hand.
Vansh: Then that’s a huge problem.
He said in a confused tone and saw her looking at him.
Riddhima: I know…
She said and saw as he pulled his chair closer to the table, calling a waiter. She saw him talking something to the waiter.
Riddhima: So may we leave…?
She said as she saw the waiter leaving from there.
Vansh: What’s the hurry? We can wait for sometime more.
Not understanding what he meant, she saw him excusing and leaving. Rubbing her neck in confusion she looked all around to see everyone busy in their own work.
Tapping her fingers on the table, she sat down waiting for him to come. So that they can leave.
——————
Aryan looked at Aadhya, who came back after a long holiday.
Aadhya: Sir, but I had informed you and Angre sir.
She said and saw him standing in front of her with his hands crossed around his chest.
Aryan: But, I didn’t received any letter from you. Anyway, why you were on leave?
She heard him and confused looked at him as she had thought he was aware of her being hurt.
Voice: She was injured, Aryan and I had her letter.
She turned and saw Angre who entered in. She smiled seeing him there. He was about to ask when he saw Aadhya leaving.
Aryan: Wait, take this with you and work here only.
She said and saw as he passed her the file and pointed at the table and chair kept in a corner.
Angre: Why when she have a cabinet out there?
He asked hearing Aryan’s words.
Aadhya: Its ok sir, I’ll manage.
Angre heard her and just hummed.
.
Sitting there, she saw Aryan indulged in his work. The loud voice of him typing on the computer was continuously echoing in her ears. Making faces, she kept on glancing at him which he caught after a while. Turning his chair, he looked at her.
Aryan: You want to say something?
He asked and saw as she sat straight. Before she could say, his phone rang picking it up he went to a corner. Coming back, he looked at her.
Aryan: You can leave.
He said and saw her nodding. As he saw her leaving, he held the chair tightly in his fists and took many deep breaths.
Keeping his hand on his head, he stood there tensed not getting what he should do now?
——————
Riddhima got scared as she felt a pat on her shoulder, turning back she saw as Vansh came and kept the plates in front of her. Her eyes went wide as the aroma of those delicious dishes hit her nose. She looked at her favorite dishes being kept in front of her.
Pulling back the chair, he sat in front of her. Raising her head, she looked at him. Him wearing the chef’s cap in those black coat and pant was making him look hot. Removing his cap, he made her wear it on which she smiled adjusting the cap on her head.
Riddhima: You made this for me?
She asked rubbing her hands.
Vansh: No…
He said and she saw as he picked up a plate of salad from other side.
Vansh: Just this…
She smiled and saw as he picking up one of the vegetable forwarded it to her. Having it, she licked her lips tasting it. He saw as she started eating her dinner from her hands.
Raising her eyelash, Riddhima looked at him having his dinner. She smiled seeing him wearing the same white apron till now.
Riddhima: Why you made this for me?
She asked from him and saw him now looking at her.
Vansh: You are my life and your wish is an order for me.
He said and winked at her. Looking back at her plate, she felt a different sensations arousing in her stomach.
Vansh: Have it, I’ll be back after sometime.
She nodded and saw him leaving. Looking around, she saw very less people were there by now. Looking at the half plate of salad, picking it she have it. Feeling a low jerk on the table, she looked up while having and saw him.
Feeling a burn on her tongue she looked at her hand to see half eaten chili.
Riddhima: Vansh…
He heard her and looked up at her to meet her teary eyes. He saw a half-eaten chili in her hand. Looking at the table, he picked up a glass of water and gave it to her.
Gulping it down in a second, she tried to soothe the burning sensations but that didn’t helped her. Even after having his half glass of water, he could still sweat buds on her forehead.
Vansh: Sugar…I’ll…
He said and left to take. Holding the tissue paper tightly in her fists, Riddhima wished to rub her tongue with it but table manners. Making a well arranged tissue paper a mess, she threw it on the table.
Just when she got up and was about to move to the washroom. She saw a waiter going from there with a glass of apple juice.
Riddhima: I’m sorry.
She said taking deep breaths and picking it up gulped it down. Not getting what actually the waiter must have thought about her. Picking up the second drink she was about to have it when the manager stopped her.
Manager: Ma’am you can’t have it.
She heard him and looked at her. That juice actually eased those sensations.
Waiter: She already had it.
She heard waiter’s words and saw them looking at her amused. Getting back on her chair she sat there feeling awkward from their words.
Vansh came back and looked at her sitting silently. He saw dried tear stain on her cheeks and manager standing few feet away from her. Moving to her, he picked up a spoon and taking a little amount made her have it.
Wiping away those dry stains from her cheeks, he saw her sitting in calm pose.
Vansh: Wait let me pay the bill. Then we’ll leave.
He saw as she nodded at him. Getting on his chair, he signed the manager and saw as he came to him with the bill.
.
Coming out, he looked at Riddhima who was sticking to his arms by now. He remembered those words of that manager.
“Sorry sir, I know you had asked us not to serve you any drinks today and even we didn’t but when ma’am suddenly came and drank that wine. Sorry sir, we were not able to stop her.“
He looked at Riddhima thinking may be it won’t cause any harm to her. Even how, she just took one shot? but of red wine was thinking which was making him think about her again and again. Even now, when he is not aware what will happen with him when she is drunk.
Opening the car’s door, he saw her moving to her own side. Getting in, he released the breath he was holding for so long. Turning around, he looked at her but found the side to be empty. Shocked he looked out from his car and was shocked to see her sitting.
