Authorâs POV
âHello, Sejal! Itâs Riddhiâ Riddhima said after Sejal picked up the call. She didnât pick it in first two tries but now she did of course the reason is that, this number was new to her. Riddhima knew Sejal well and now she knew she has to now face her wrath.
âNow you got a time to talk with me? You know, how much my head is spinning after seeing the news? And, why was your phone unreachable? AndâŚwhere the hell are you, now? I know you well enough and I know, you are not at your home, nowâŚâ Sejal spoke
âShut up yaar! Let me speak! Now listen my side of storyâ
She told her everything.
âAre you mad or something??? You are living in someoneâs home who lives alone and is a man?â
âFirstly, I know I am mad for doing this. But, if I had any option, I wouldnât have chosen it. Right?â
âStill,âŚhave you lost your mind!?â
âSejal, I wonât live here till long. Just 2 daysâ
â2 days with that unknown person whose name you donât even know! Riddhi!!! You reach to Kiaraâs home. Her mom is in her hometown and she is alone at home for 2 days. Whatever the situation comes you wonât live here! Did you get that that?â
âI do get that, Seju. Okay, Iâll try to escape from hereâ
âListen, I canât come there due to family issues. But, I am going to come there as soon as possible. Till then, take care of yours?â
âOkay my aai!â
âBetter you!â
Saying so, she cut the call.
Riddhima was waiting for Vansh to come living room as she wanted to talk to him. She was walking back and forth and she felt she collided with something. When she saw upwards, she saw Vansh looking in other direction after letting her go from his hands which he held to stop her from falling.
âIâŚwanted to have a talk with you-â
âContinueâ
âWo- will you drop me to one of my friendâs home. I wonât trouble you anymore, after that. I promise!â
âI would have but-â
He then gestured her to follow him. He slightly removed the curtain of the window to make the view clear and now she could see some men and she very well was aware who they sent by, They were constantly roaming in the area. Little did she already know, things will not happen as simple as she wanted.
A lone tear escaped from her eye which she didnât want. She didnât want to make her look weak infront of a stranger.
âHey! Donât cryâ He whispered.
She closed her eyes and inhaling the air, and she opened her eyes. And moved her fingers to her face wiping those unwanted tears.
She came and sat on the sofa. While, he brought water for her.
After drinking the water, and calming herself down. She said- âI want to escape this place by any hook or crook. So-â
âI am going to call your fatherâ he said making her wide her eyes
âHave you lost it?â
âNo, I am doing this for your bettermentâ
âListen, you are not going to do it! If you will, I will inform everyone that you kidnapped me!!â
âSeriously?â Vansh said, rolling his eyes.
âI am more than seriousâ
She left the hall but, still she had doubt, what if, heâll still inform her dad about it?

Vanshâs POV
It was 3.20 pm.
I was painting, and then, I heard âWow!â sound from behind.
And saw, Riddhima was standing behind me and then, I heard her voice again from behind
âYou are soo soo good!!â
âThankyouâ I let out a small whisper and continued my work.
She sat beside me bringing a chair.
After, I was done with the painting.
âAre you professional or something?â
âYes.â
âI knew itâ
The silence prevailed the room.
âWhat do you like? Any hobbies?â I asked, breaking the silence. I wanted to cheer her mood after what happened in afternoon.
âMe? You know, since childhood, I love music! You know, my aai used to sing so amazing!â
I saw her face becoming a bit sad.
âAny issues?â I asked calmly.
âNo-nothing. I was saying that I love music. Since childhood, I was most interested in this! Only if I could show you my prizes in music! I still love it.â
âSo, anything for me?â
âIf you have guitarâŚ.â
âI am not too good, but I do have oneâ saying so, I went to my room. And I gave her the guitar. Actually, Aryan gifted me this.
I sat beside her, giving the guitar. Finally, someone will give justice by using it!
She sat in a comfortable position. Crossing her legs. Holding the guitar like a guitarist.
Haan Main Gumsum Hoon, In Rahon Ki Tarah,
Tere Khwabon Mein, Teri Khwahishon Mein Chupa,
Na Jane Kyun Hai Roz Ka Silsila, Tu Rooh Ki Hai Dastan,
Teri Zulfon Ki Ye Nami, Teri Ankhon Ka Ye Nasha,
Yahan Kho Bhi Jaun To Mein, Kya Kasoor Hai Mera,
Kyun Yeh Afsane, In Lamhon Mein Kho Gaye,
Hum Ghayal The, In Lafzon Mein Kho Gaye,
The Hum Anjane, Ab Dil Mein Tum Ho Chupi,
Hum Hain Sehar Ki Parchaiyan,
Teri Sanson Ki Rat Hai,
Teri Honton Ki Hai Subha,
Yahna Kho Bhi Jaun Toh Mein,
Kya Kasoor Hai Mera,
Kya Kasur Hai Mera.
Teri Zulfon Ki Ye Nami, Teri Ankhon Ka Ye Nasha,
Yahan Kho Bhi Jaun To Mein, Kya Kasoor Hai Mera,
Teri Sanson Ki Rat Hai, Teri Honthon Ki Hai Subha,
Yaha Kho Bhi Jau To Mein,
Kya Kasoor Hai Mera, Kya Kasoor Hai Mera,
Kya Kasoor Hai Mera.
I was so lost in her.
âHow was it?â
âIt was so amazing!â I said. And didnât even realised when my handâs turned into clapping.
****************
It was evening. I was going out to buy some groceries when Riddhima stopped me.
âAre you going somewhere?â Riddhima said moving her gaze from the screen of her phone.
âYeah! Just to buy some groceriesâ
âOh! Come soon Vansh!â
âOkayâŚwait! You know my name?â
She nodded and bit her tongue.
âBut, how?â
âActually, IâŚ.I picked up your call, itâs not my mistake. It was ringing since long. I thought to âsilentâ it. But, instead pick the callâ
âDid you talk to whoever was on the phone?â I asked being a bit tensed. She didnât know, her one mistake could lead me in another trouble. Yes, I am already in a trouble.
âNoâŚI just picked up, the called ID stated âDadâ. As soon as I picked the call, he said âHappy birthday Vanshâ. Is it really your birthday?â
âGlad you didnât reply him or else I would have died by the questions my family would have askedâ
âIs it your birthday?â
I nodded.
âSorry, but, I will have to lock you inside the house till I comeâ I said going towards the main door.
âIs it needed?â She asked.
âYesâŚ.â
âOkayâ
I went outside but not before making sure that, the house is locked.
I observed my surroundings and realised, two guards were constantly roaming in the area. I expected them to leave by now. So that, I could do something to make Riddhima safe. I shook my head in disappointment.
I bought the groceries. And, came to home.
Riddhima was not in hall. I went to kitchen to keep the groceries after that I could search her. Actually, the house was locked so, she must be roaming someone in the house only.
I was shocked to see her cooking something.
After keeping the bag of groceries in the kitchen. As I opened the tap, the sound of water gained Riddhimaâs attention. She turned to me holding a knife.
I raised my hand in air and said âItâs me, Jhansi ki raniâ
She sighed seeing me.
While drying my hands with towel, I asked her- âBy the way, what are you doing here?â
âMe? I was preparing something for your birthdayâ
I donât know what happens to this girl the very next moment.
âReally? And whatâs that?â
âI was preparing halwaâ
âYou know cooking?â
âWhat do you think of me? You know, I am a great cookâ
âI am also not that badâ I said shrugging.
âThe halwa is readyâ She said serving it in a bowl.
I tasted it- âItâs not that bad as I expectedâ
Actually, it was amazing. No that good but Yeah! Not even that bad.
She faked her laugh.
âAre the guards still outside?â
I nodded taking another bite of halwa.
âYou know what, I feel like calling my baba and saying that, remove these guards from hereâ
âSo that, he will take you to your homeâ
âVery funnyâ She said filling another bowl with halwa and taking a bite of it.
âYou know, Sejal, my bestfriend asked me to stay over in one of my friendâs house. I told you in afternoon, too. Actually, Kiara the friend I am talking about, her family is out of station. And sheâs alone at her homeâ
âAnd, what makes you think that you will easily go out of here?â
âYou know this area better than me. I guess, you could help me out escaping from hereâ
âI have got a great idea! Hope it worksâ
âAnd whatâs that great idea of yours?â
âPlease now donât start again that informing my baba is the best thing we could do to escape from this situationâ
âWe? Actually, right! We both are in trouble. I know you wonât let me call your dad and I donât even want to be a kidnapper. But am not talking about that idea. I have another one! And, you will also praise me for that!â
