Reassemblance Of Life (Chapter- 1) #Riansh

⭒Love Triangle ⭒

Riddhima shocked looked at the boy who was sitting on his knees in front of her with a red rose in his hands, she looks around the campus through her eyelash and saw everyone eyeing them and especially her waiting for her reply. There was complete silence from god knows how much time. She knew the answer is “yes” but still she felt nervous.

Biting her lips as she sat down in front of him and took the rose from his hand. Until he had been closing his eyes waiting to get some worst reply but feeling her hands, brushing around his thumb. He looked up to see the flower not there while Riddhima was sitting in front of him, holding the flower and smiling at him.

“It’s yes Kabir” She said in the low voice but as the silence was prevailed across the campus, about half of them had heard it clearly.

A wide smile appeared on his lips and he hugged her tightly in excitement but she did not hugged him back because of hesitation while they heard the whistle and clapping sound.

“I love you Riddhima…I love you so much” She heard him as he broke the hug and looked at her with a smile.

“I love you too Kabir…” She said and he holding her hand helped her to get up.

Riddhima closes her eyes and opening it looks back at the papers in her hand thinking when she saw a cup of coffee being forwarded to her. She looks up to find Kabir. She smiles at him and keeping back the file took it from him.

“You should go and rest, it’s already too late. Even you are working from so long. Health is more important. Come I’ll drop you.” He said and after arranging the room where they were working pulls her with him.

Sitting in the car, she looks outside the window while he was busy driving. Keeping her hands on the window and her head over she admires the view outside. Air blowing kissing her face on the way, no hustle bustle, no traffic, no honking, just silence. The feeling of silence of the midnight is just mystical. The calm, tranquil atmosphere was leading her to her memories of few years back.

Becoming an archaeologist became her dream when for the first time in her life she heard her father telling her stories of her grandfather who was also one of the famous archeologist. Entering in the famous college of Delhi, IOA. She took the first step on her dream but who knows that this college and dream is going to give her a perfect boomerang ride.

After completing the third year of her college, she met Kabir who came there as a fresher. They became friends soon cause of the attachment they felt with each other. Upon being assigned for a group project, both started working on it and drew more close. After Riddhima had accepted Kabir’s proposal in front of the whole campus. She was more comfortably able to work him.

Her chain of thoughts broke when she felt a hand on her. She looked back at Kabir who was looking in front while driving.

“What are you thinking about?” He asked and pulled her hand on the steering keeping his hands entangled with her.

“About our project, nothing more” She said trying to divert him from the topic.

“Don’t lie Riddhima” He said and stopped the car as soon as he saw her apartment in front. Riddhima looked out and then back to him as he was waiting for her answer.

“I’m not lying. I was just worried about…you know” As she said in a slow voice, he nodded at her releasing a deep breath.

“Don’t worry. He will agree.” Riddhima looked at him as he passed her a sweet smile holding her hand. She nodded and moved out of the car. Bidding him a good bye, she moved in from there.

As she opened her apartment’s door and peeped in, she looked around to find the lights still on. Exhaling a deep breath, she knew her parents were still awake waiting for her. Closing the door, she came in to see her mom, Kajal awake waiting for her and was spending her time watching a comedy show.

“Where is papa?” As she asked suddenly, her mom got startled and turning back glared at her.

“You scared me.” Riddhima giggled and taking the jug, poured water in the glass.

“He is in the room, working” Gulping down the water Riddhima passed her a humming sound. She came and keeping her head on her mom’s lap laid down on the couch.

“Mom, I’m hungry” Riddhima said and closing her eyes, feeling her mother’s hand in her hairs caressing it.

“Haven’t you eaten anything yet?” As she said in a calm yet tensed voice, Riddhima shook her head in no.

“Just a cup of coffee” Riddhima told her and got up from her lap.

“Look at the time, you’re mad and from tomorrow you are not going to work on any of the projects.” Riddhima was shocked hearing her mom, who got up and moved in the kitchen.

“Why so? Mom exams are around the corner and if we won’t complete are project then what will be showing there. Even if we go on the same way we are going, I don’t think we will be able to complete on time. And…” Riddhima said and stopped in middle getting tensed what will be her reaction.

“And?” She heard and turning around saw her father Arjun, who came and sat in front of her giving her a questioning gaze.

“And for searching I and Kabir will have to go to different places to research” Riddhima said looking at them and then at the plate which her mom passed her.

“Where you’ll be going?” She heard the voice and turning around saw him.

“What are you doing over here?” Riddhima yelled on top of her voice keeping back the plate on the table.

“Riddhima” Riddhima inhaled a deep breath hearing her mom voice, it was calm but she knew her indication.

“It’s my place also, right Uncle” Riddhima saw as he came and sat beside her father.

“No way, Vansh. It’s not…” She was interrupted by her father.

“Of course, it is.” She heard Arjun and huffing sat down on the couch.

“You didn’t told me, where you’ll be going?” Vansh asked again waiting for her to say.

“It’s none of your business” Vansh passed her a wink which she ignored.

“Riddhima, tell me where are you going?” Arjun asked again on not getting any response from her.

“Telangana” Riddhima said while eating and heard a loud gasp from Vansh.

“Uncle, look at her. She didn’t even bothered to ask you.” Vansh said teasing her on which she passed him a glare.

“It was decided today, and may I know what problem are you having. Even I’m not going there. I was talking about Kabir, he is going to Telangana.” She told him directly looking into his eyes.

“Then where are you going?” Riddhima heard her mom asking and she looked at her.

“Rajasthan only” Riddhima said and went to keep the plate in the kitchen.

“When?” She heard Vansh shouting from outside.

“Who are you that I’ll tell you everything?” Vansh took a deep breath hearing her, dealing with her and taking out any type of information from her is so difficult.

“Riddhima he is your friend. How can you talk to him like that?” Kajal said scolding her.

“Friend and he? I don’t even want friends than” She mumbled to herself.

“It’s already too late. Go and sleep now.” Riddhima heard Arjun.

“Papa, Can I go?” She asked thinking it to be the right time.

“We’ll talk about this later, Riddhima.” Arjun said and left from there.

Riddhima looked at Vansh who passed her a wide smile.

“That’s the reason, I hate you so much. Why do you always interfere in my life? Friend and you, better I’ll accept my enemy as my friend.” Vansh saw her leaving from there.

“Good Night” He shouted looking at her retreating figure but she looking back gave him angry glare and saw him waving his hand passing a smile.

Riddhima looked at Kabir who was playing with the Rubik cube, but his attention was somewhere else as he was looking at the wall in front of her. She came in and locking the apartment’s door behind her, moved to her table.

“Turn it to left Kabir and it will be solved.” She said and picked up the file which she was reading last night. Kabir heard her and looked up to see her, he looked back at the cube and turning it to left solved it. He passed her a smile.

“Good Morning.” He said and she passed him a smile and looked back at the file. “What’s answer? Are you going?”

“Of course, papa agreed to it but on a demand.” She said and picking up the pen wrote something on the page. She felt him waiting for her to continue through his gaze. “I’ll have to come early.”

“That’s not a big deal. You’ll be able to come back in two months.” She nodded at him and looked at him. “It will take me some more time and even you have checked the file. So you know”

“Yeah but don’t take more than 5 months, we even have to prepare for written exams” Riddhima said and moving to the computer started doing her work. They were staying in Kabir’s farm house, so that none should disturb them while working.

————-

Riddhima looked at the tickets in her hand and pouted sadly. She looked at Kabir who was laughing standing in front of her looking at her sad face.

“Just 4 months.” He repeated telling her again. She knew he was right and Rajasthan is not a small place for archeological sites.

“Don’t you dare to talk to me from now. Idiot” She said and looked at him again laughing. “Now how will I convince papa, and that Vansh he will again ask so many questions that papa will be on verge of refusing me. I don’t want to talk to you even.”

“Riddhima at least listen to me” He said as he saw her leaving from the apartment. He followed her. “Riddhima try to understand.”

“First of all we’ll have to stay far from each other for so long and you are over here increasing the dates” She said sadly and sat on the bench.

“There is nothing worry, we can even call each other. Right now career is more important.” Kabir said and kneeling down sat in front of her. “After that we’ll be together only forever, right? And I don’t think you’ll refuse to marry me and if you’ll do then either I’ll kidnap you or I’ll die in your love.”

“Don’t talk about death in front of me or I will definitely refuse to marry you.” She said smacking on his shoulder.

“How will you?” He asked her smiling.

“By marrying someone else, as simple as it looks.” She said chuckling at his changing facial expression.

“And if I’ll kidnap you?” He asked keeping his hands on her hand.

“Then I’ll ran away from your clutches or….” She said and thought for a while “Or….will ask my fiancée to save me.”

“And you think I’ll let you go.” He asked smirking. “I’ll bring you back.”

“But I don’t think I’ll be able to refuse your proposal.” She said and looked at him.

“Should I take it as ‘yes’?” He asked on which she nodded.

He held her hand and made her stood up. She saw him as he got on his knees and taking her hand looked into her eyes and said “Will you marry me?”

Her eyes welled up. “Yes” She said and he getting up kissed on her forehead.

“I love you” He smiled and spread his arms around her.

“I love you too” Saying so she hugged him smiling.

————-

Riddhima was about to enter in her room when her phone rang, she looked at the screen to find Kabir calling her.

“Hi Riddhima.” She heard his normal voice yet it was like he was sad.

“Hi, say” She asked directly asking him to come to the point. “What are you sad about?”

“I’m coming directly to the point.” She nodded “Actually I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning only. So”

“But you said you’ll be leaving after I’ll leave” She interrupted as soon as she heard him.

“I know Riddhima I said that, but you will be leaving in night and there is no flight after that. So I’ll have to” He said and took a deep breath. “If you are free, than can you come to my house tomorrow morning?”

“Of course. I’ll be coming at what time you’ll be leaving” She asked sadly.

“11 am.” She hummed and saying a bye disconnected the call.

Riddhima sadly came out of her room and was about to move to another room when she heard a voice.

“See who came…. Too busy” She heard a voice and knew it was Vansh, turning back she saw him standing too close to her. He raised his eyebrows.

“Don’t talk to me…I hate you” She said snapping and glaring at him. He pushed her finger aside and rolling his eyes moved from there. Riddhima irritated threw the vase at him and he bent down in the nick of time whereas the vase hit on the wall breaking and shattering into many pieces. Turning back he looked at her angry face and winked at her making her more angry.

“I hate you more.” She said and mumbled looking at him face and left from there.

“I love you more” He said to himself.
