Episode starts with…
Something strikes both together in their thought process – Vansh & Riddhima (together in their thoughts) – “IS IT LOVE???”
Both had a smile on their faces yet many questions. Their hearts were asking them to accept the fact that its love while their brains were opposing this thought saying this can’t be love. Even they felt like this can’t be love and yet felt like love. They were precisely confused, there were many confusions and questions and there was no conclusion. Vansh thought this can’t happen he can’t risk her life. Riddhima didn’t know if it’s love, even if it is, she can’t love her brothers best friend. She decided to control her feelings and not let anyone know about that. Vansh decided this can’t be love so should behave normal as he does with others and not let his feelings overpower him.
After a while Riddhima came out of washroom and saw that Vansh wasn’t present. She wondered where could he be. She walked out of room and once in corridor she saw that kitchen’s lights were on, she felt someone might have forgot to turn them off so decided to turn them off. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she was first scared to see a person and then realized its Vansh
Riddhima: uff… Vansh you scared me
Vansh realising her presence
Vansh: When did I? (confused)
Riddhima: I thought there was no one here and suddenly seeing you scared me. I could have died of shock. Can’t you inform me that you are coming here
Vansh: Interesting madam, so, now am supposed to inform you wherever I go right!
Riddhima: I didn’t mean that. Anyways what are you doing here at this hour?
Vansh: Thought to take a bath (sarcasm)
Riddhima: Can’t you give a straight answer to a small question?
Vansh: Don’t you know what does a person does in kitchen?
Riddhima: Vansh!!!
Vansh: (laughing) Acha relax, I thought you would be hungry so came to prepare any Chinese
Riddhima(impressed): Impressive Mr. Rai Singhania. Vaise I am indeed hungry (holding her stomach)
Vansh (smiling): Why don’t you help me!
Riddhima: I’d love to. Just tell me what am I supposed to do
Vansh and Riddhima started to cook together, she was helping him in whatever he was asking for. They were trying hard to hide their feelings but fate was bringing them together. They were avoiding eye contact and were just making sure they hear each other and not even look at each other. They thought they are the only one who is having feelings but both didn’t know that they both are sailing in the same boat. They were trying to hide their feelings from each other at any cost. Riddhima could sense the yummy smell of the dish and in excitement closed her eyes and leaned forward to smell unaware that she was almost near the burning vessel. Vansh in nick time kept his hand in front of her before she collided her face with the vessel. She felt his hand and opened her eyes to see his hand hitting the vessel. She was concerned and before she could react
Vansh: Have you gone mad? Can’t you see, you would have hurt yourself if at all I didn’t notice. (angry)
Riddhima smiled at his concern
Vansh: Seriously!!! You are smiling!!! You have gone crazy. Did you even think what would have happened if at all I didn’t place my hand! Your mouth have got burned by now. (pissed off)
Riddhima (smiling): I know but I trust you more than my life and I know until you are there you won’t let anything happen to me. And I am sorry I was over excited so didn’t notice the vessel near my face.
Vansh smiled at her confession. He forgot that his hand was hurt in this process, Riddhima noticed and reacted
Riddhima: Vansh you hurt your hand. Show me
Riddhima ran to fridge and bought some ice cubes and dragged his hand and placed it in the bowl of cubes.
Vansh: Riddhima relax its small injury. I am fine
Riddhima: Shut up, fine my foot. What was the need to hurt yourself in the process of saving me? Have you lost it?? Look you injured yourself now.
Vansh was amused to see her care for him and her eyes spoke all that her heart couldn’t. She had tears for his injury, her heart was feeling for that pain of his which he wasn’t giving a damn to.
Vansh: You are scolding me when it was your mistake (pulling her leg)
Riddhima: I am sorry, I shouldn’t have got over excited… it’s because of me. It’s hurting you right! (tears)
Vansh: Riddhima relax, I was just kidding see I am totally fine and it’s not paining. Don’t blame yourself, it was not your mistake.
Riddhima still had tears and was blowing on his hand. Vansh understood that she is guilty
Vansh: So, you don’t believe me, whatever you said that you trust me few minutes back was just a dialogue
Riddhima: How could you think so, I do trust you more than my life and that’s the fact
Vansh: So, tell me why didn’t you care when you might hurt yourself!
Riddhima: Because I trust you that you won’t let anything happen to me and in this process, you hurt yourself
Vansh: Then why aren’t you trusting me when I am telling that I am fine and it’s not paining
Riddhima: Because you are lying, you never let anyone know of your pain and you bear everything on yourself. And in my case, I know no problem can dare touch me until you are with me
Vansh was stunned to know that she understands him more than anyone could. He pulled her close towards him and
Vansh: Do you trust me?
Riddhima: How do I prove?
Vansh: Believe that am not lying and I am totally fine
Riddhima: Are you sure?
Vansh nodded and she blinked her eyes in agreeing to him.
Vansh (smiling): Go and sit, just 2 minutes almost done
Riddhima nodded as a small kid. After 2 minutes he served her yummy noodles. She didn’t even wait for him to join her and she just pounced on her food and was eating as if she was not fed any food since years, and Vansh was just adoring her how she was eating like a kid and was eating so enthusiastically making him fall for her more and more. He was smiling at her as she licked her plate and looked at him.
Vansh: Done? (naughty smile)
Riddhima (Making a cute innocent face): Yes, and it’s so yummy!!!
Vansh laughed at her innocence and seeing the time he said
Vansh: Riddhima, its 4:20am, you go and sleep. I have a meeting so am going into my room. If needed anything am just a call away
Riddhima nodded as he left towards his room. He sat on his chair and opening his laptop and was about to join the meeting when he saw his room door opening, he felt it’s some servant or any of his sister and was about to ask them to not to disturb him but seeing who it was his expressions changed and in his low voice
Vansh: Riddhima, you here? Do you need anything?
Riddhima: Vansh I don’t need anything but you definitely need this (handing him a cup)
Vansh: What’s this? (staring at the cup)
Riddhima: Coffee. You didn’t have sleep whole night and now you are having a meeting so thought this would give you energy.
Vansh (smiling): Thank you so much Riddhima.
She smiled and after handing him his coffee
Riddhima: All the Best for your meeting and Good Night!!! Oops its Good Morning I guess (smiling)
Vansh laughed at her innocence when his phone rang
Riddhima: Okay, ok carry on. Take care. Bye
Saying so she left his room closing the door and leaving him and herself in many questions and feelings. She went into guest room and sleep was far for her so she sat near the window enjoying the breeze and was lost in thoughts of all that happened in last 6 – 7 hours and was wondering how come she felt comfortable, safe and secure. She was lost in herself questioning the feelings for him. Though she concluded that could be love she doesn’t want to accept them.
Vansh was no different though he was physically present in the meeting, he was mentally thinking only of her and was wondering all that happened in past few days and was searching for answers of questions arising in him. He was questioning himself as to what’s happening to him and why, why is he unable to concentrate on anything than on her, why has she become important to him, why was she affecting him, what are these feelings for her. Though even he realized that this his feelings are nothing but love he doesn’t want to accept them not at any cost. He didn’t want to put her life at stake being aware of the danger around him.
He completed his meeting and thought would take rest but even he couldn’t sleep due to thoughts of her and he too sat near his window observing the sun rise and was lost in thoughts. They both were in same dilemma of accepting their feelings and were not prepared to do so.
Their alarm clock broke their thoughts and they realized its 7am and that they haven’t slept all night and were engrossed in each other’s thoughts but couldn’t come to any conclusion on their feelings for the other.
Finally, they decided to ignore these thoughts and feelings for each other and also ignore and not meet the other until these confusions and feelings fade away. They forgot that feelings don’t fade away if they ignore but would get stronger day by day.
Riddhima (to herself): So, its decided neither am I going to meet nor talk or even face him for few days at least
Vansh (to himself): Its decided neither am I going to message, call or meet her face to face unless all this confusion of these feelings fade away.
So that’s all for today. Hope you guys are enjoying and please do comment and let me know your views and suggestions if any needed.
