🕯Secret🕯
Author’s POV:-
Riddhima stopped in her way and heard him saying. She turned back and looked at him. His face pale, she don’t know but his face is looking pale since many days. She came to him and held his hands in her, sitting in front of him on her knees.
Riddhima: Vansh, did I do some mistake? Why are you saying like this?
Riddhima asked him, he looked at her teary eyes. He cupped her face and slowly kissed on her forehead. He looked back at her.
Vansh: Woah I felt that….nothing. My juice??
Although he said but she didn’t got convinced keeping her hand on his which were on her cheeks she look at him.
Riddhima: Vansh its being 1 year to our marriage. I know this marriage was against my will, you forcefully got married to me but now I accept you as my husband and Kabir is my past now. I had loved him once. Don’t leave me ever please I don’t have anyone except you…..Please.
She said as tears escaped from her eyes while looking at him. He came close to her face and joined their foreheads.
Vansh: Riddhima I can’t give you the assurance forever but whenever you’ll need me I’ll be there beside you.
As Vansh said Riddhima frowned but before she could ask something his phone rang and excusing himself he moved towards the balcony. Riddhima left the room to bring juice for him.
On the way Riddhima was deep in her thoughts when she saw Angre coming out of his room scrolling through his phone. She remembered about the message she had got one year back. Still she was looking for the person who messaged her, she tried to call on the number, message him/her even she tried to call him/her from Vansh phone but the call wasn’t getting connected.
Riddhima: Will he help me in finding that person?
She asked herself and then after talking to her mind and heart she came to a conclusion to ask him.
Riddhima: Angre…
As she called his name, stopping in his way he turned back and looked at her. Riddhima came to him.
Angre: Haan Bhabhi…
He asked while looking at her.
Riddhima: Angre actually I need a help. 1 year back I received a message from a number although I tried everything to connect with that person but the call isn’t getting connected.
He frowned listening to her.
Angre: You told about this to boss? What’s message about?
He asked confused and scrolling through her phone she said.
Riddhima: No I didn’t told him.
She said and showed him her phone. He looked at the screen and took a deep breath.
Angre: Bhabhi had you checked that envelope?
Angre asked and looking at her as she shook her head in negative.
Riddhima: No how can I? It’s of Vansh. But I tried few times and was unsuccessful.
She said and took back her phone from him.
Angre: Then you should bhabhi, he is your husband. You need to know about this.
As he told her Riddhima again drifted deep in her thoughts.
Riddhima: Won’t that will be wrong? …. No why would that be… I’ll definitely check it.
Riddhima said to herself while Angre was hearing her.
Angre: All the best bhabhi…
He told her and left from her sight. While moving he turned back and looked at her with expressionless face.
———————————-
Kabir sat on the bed taking a letter in his hand. He kept his hand on his head and looked up to see Anupriya standing in front of him.
Anupriya: Now what happened to you? Why are you sitting like this…?
She asked him crossing her arms against her chest and gave him a questioning look.
Kabir: I have to go for a meeting and I don’t want to…
He said sadly and Anupriya looked at him tensed.
Anupriya: Kabir… You’ll have to go already your company had faced so many loses we can’t bear more…
She said and looked at him as he was thinking.
Kabir: Mom I don’t feel like going anywhere. I don’t know but somehow I’m still in love with Riddhima.
Kabir said and Anupriya looked at him while cursing Riddhima under her breath.
Anupriya: Kabir, it’s high time now, you are going for this meeting and after you’ll come I’ll search a nice bride for you. Even you’ll have to move on in your life.
She said and without waiting for his response left from there. Kabir irritated threw the vase kept on the table breaking into many pieces. He laid down on the bed closing his eyes as a lone tear escaped from his eyes.
———————————-
Riddhima slowly entered in their room, looking around she saw the room empty. She came out and took a deep breath.
Riddhima: No one is here…he might have left from his office.
She mumbled to herself and made her way to the closet, moving to the cupboard where she last saw the envelope. She opened it and started ruffling through the clothes.
Finally she found it in one of Vansh’s jeans pocket. Taking it out, she closed the door of the cupboard and looked carefully at the cover. Turning it back she saw there was no name.
Riddhima: There was something written on it when I saw it last time.
She said again to herself.
Riddhima: Or no….I guess nothing was there.
She shrugged the thought and opening the envelope she found a letter inside it. She took it out and was about to open when she heard his voice.
Vansh: Again spying on my things…
As he said the paper fell from her eyes, she turned around and saw him standing leaning at the door arms crossed again his chest.
Riddhima: No I…I was just taking out your clothes.
She said moved towards the cupboard and opening it started ruffling through it again. He came to her and stood in front of her bending down he picked it up.
Vansh: Open it…
He said forwarding her the letter. She looked at it and then at him.
Riddhima: No why will I need your things?
She told him and looked back in the cupboard.
Vansh: Ok th…..
She interrupted him
Riddhima: If you are saying this much then I’ll open it.
She said and snatched from his hand, he chuckled at her and saw her looking at him and then opened the letter.
As she read the letter she frowned and looked back at him.
Riddhima: What is this?
She questioned him still looking at him.
Vansh: Didn’t you like it?
He asked her looking at her expression.
Riddhima: No I liked it, I mean…
She looked back at the letter and tried to reason him.
Vansh: I thought since 1 year you never went out with me. So I organized this trip for you.
She nodded and passed him a smile and again looked back at the letter.
Vansh: What happened?
He asked looking at her confused expression.
Riddhima: No I saw this envelope 1 year ago and since then I guess it’s here till now but in that case it means that these tickets were booked 1 year ago and that’s not possible as firstly you used to hate me then, secondly dates are of this month and third this is not the envelope which I saw that day?
She asked confused and looked at her smirking.
Vansh: I know you will ask these many questions only and now I got to know that you were spying on me. What was the need of all this, you could have asked me. So this is not that envelope.
She frowned at him and he moved to the other cupboard sliding the door he took out another envelope and gave it to her.
Vansh: This is the one which you saw that day.
Vansh said and she took it and saw the same cover, opening it she saw some of his deal paper. She looked back at him and gave the letter back to him.
Riddhima: Sorry I wasn’t spying on you it was just that I received one message that day and out of curiosity I came to check once.
Riddhima said and he looked at her shocked.
Vansh: Message?
He asked her and nodding she forwarded him her phone after opening the message. Vansh looked at the message, closed his fists to control his anger.
Riddhima: Vansh, Sorry I….
Riddhima was about to say when he kept her phone in his pocket and kept his hand on her shoulder interrupted her.
Vansh: Pack your bags we will be leaving tomorrow morning.
Vansh said and left from there.
Vansh’s POV starts:-
It’s 1 year since I’m married to her, I know she just like me or should say she had only accepted me as her husband. Now I’m cursing for destroying her life. It’s all my mistake I shouldn’t have married her only. I forced her and now we are at the situation where nothing can be changed. I still love her but don’t know how should I again make her hate me?
Where the hell is this Angre? For god knows how many times I had told him to stop interfering in this matter. I can’t handle Riddhima if she will get to know the truth but he is hell bent on telling her. I know he was the one who had send her this message or who else was aware that what is that letter?
Vansh’s POV ends-:
Author’s POV:-
Vansh was walking in the hall when he saw Angre entering the Mansion, he held his arm and pulled him in the study.
Vansh: WHY THE HELL DON’T YOU GET WHEN I ASKED YOU TO STOP INTERFERING IN THIS MATTER?
He shouted at him and stood in front of him.
Angre: Boss, I didn’t do……..
Before he could continue Vansh threw Riddhima’s phone in front of him.
Vansh: Stop lying Angre because now it’s becoming your habit. Weren’t you the one who messaged her? Or except you who is aware about that envelope?
He told him and Angre looked at him.
Angre: But Boss Bhabhi should know about this matter, it’s completely related to yours lives. If she will get to know in other way it will be difficult for her to accept it.
Angre told him and Vansh sat on the chair keeping his hand on his head.
Vansh: I know Angre and its all my mistake that I got married to her. I shouldn’t have done this, she is now the one who will suffer. I don’t know I’m scared if she will get to know about this she will leave me.
Vansh said and Angre looked at Vansh.
Angre: Boss why will bhabhi leave you. There is nothing that much that she will leave you. I know my bhabhi is so strong she can face everything.
Angre said and looked at Vansh, who started chuckling at his sentence.
Vansh: She will be the one to fight this, seriously? She? Over here since 11 months I’m fighting and there is no result and you are saying she will. Stop it Angre, I will tell her everything on this trip and that’s final now leave…
Vansh said and Angre left from there looking at his boss who leaned down on the chair looking up at the ceiling. He left from there.
Vansh closed his eyes.
———————————-
Riddhima looked up at Vansh who forwarded her his hand. She smiled at him and held her hand and came out. As she came out she saw the name of the hotel, they are going to stay in Bali.
She followed him and both came at the reception.
Vansh: We are having our booking here as “Vansh and Riddhima”
He told the receptionist and she nodded him and started looking at the names. Riddhima was looking around when she heard him and looked at him but then shrugged her thought.
Receptionist: Sorry sir, we don’t have any booking by these name.
As she said Vansh frowned and then thought.
Riddhima: Angre booked this?
She asked Vansh on which he nodded, moving to the receptionist she looked at her.
Riddhima: Check by “Mr. & Mrs. Vansh Raisinghania”
She told and she nodded and then giving them approval passed them there keys. Taking her bag Riddhima looked at Vansh.
Vansh: You know Angre very well.
He said gritting his teeth and controlling his anger.
Riddhima: No, actually while coming here he only told me this.
She told him and he nodded and moved in the lift, when she said.
Riddhima: I guess he knows you very well.
She said and he raised his eyebrows.
Vansh: Really?
He asked her on which she nodded at him. He chuckled at her. Taking her hand, he pulled her out of the lift. Coming in front of the room’s door, he opened the knob and entered in.
As they entered, they saw the luxurious room. Riddhima was admiring the interior designing but Vansh looked at the things which he hated the most, dim light, scented candles in the room not burning but still was there and on top that rose petals across the room and on the bed.
Although Riddhima didn’t noticed all this but he did and that to very well.
Vansh: Riddhima change your dress I’m coming in a while.
She nodded and he left the room, coming out he moved to a side and dialed a number. As soon as the call got connected.
Vansh: Angre now that’s enough stop interfering and now one more thing and I’ll kill you.
He shouted at him.
Angre: Boss this time I didn’t do anything but…….
Before he could say anything Vansh disconnected the call and moved to the reception.
———————————-
Riddhima came out of the washroom after drying her hair, she changed into a sari and then looked around. She sat there only waiting for Vansh, keeping her hand on her stomach.
Riddhima: I’m hungry, where is he? Shall I go out like this only?
She thought and said to herself and then moved out of the room, coming out she looked around She started looking around while walking in the corridor.
She was about to enter in the pool area, when someone pulled her towards him holding her waist. She looked up to see Vansh and then took a deep breath.
Vansh: What are you doing here? Where were you going?
Vansh asked and left her hand.
Riddhima: Woah…I’m hungry and I was searching for you.
She said and Vansh held her hand and started walking at her pace.
Vansh: Don’t you have your phone? You should have called me or you should have directly ordered. Anyway I did.
He said and entered in their room. She nodded and sat on the couch.
———————————-
Kabir entered in the restaurant and moved to the receptionist, grabbing his room keys he passed a smile to the manager and then moved towards his room. On the way he saw Riddhima and Vansh, when Vansh pulled her to himself and she took a deep breath. Kabir closed his eyes as he can’t stop loving her till now but according to him she had already moved on in their life.
He wiped his tears and moved from there as he saw Vansh walking with Riddhima. He was about to take a turn when something collided with him and it was about to fall when he held it. He opened his eyes, to look at the girl in his arms. Eyes closed, cute nose, wet cheeks, she opened her eyes and he met her greenish eyes, deep holding so many thoughts within it. She looked at him and then stood up. He turned to go after saying sorry.
Girl: Why are you saying sorry? I should be the one I wasn’t walking properly. Sorry for that.
She said and forwarded her hand on which he nodded and accepted her hand.
Kabir: It’s ok.
Saying so he left from there. She frowned at him.
Girl: Strange, Such a cute girl was forwarding a hand for friendship and he didn’t accepted. Its ok, even Ahaana isn’t dying for his friendship.
She said and moved from there.
———————————-
Slowly and gradually time was passing it was 2nd week since they are here, Kabir and Ahaana were now friends. Ahaana has started developing feelings for him but knowing that he still loves Riddhima she never dared to propose him as she respects his feelings for her, she once wished to meet Riddhima and talk to her but as she don’t know where is she now. She used to leave that thought there only.
Kabir also needed a partner like her, friend like her with whom he can open up and can share all his worries, his pain, his miseries without any insecurity and he finally found her.
On the other side, Vansh had tried so many times to show his angry side to her but every time after seeing her face, his heart melts and he wasn’t able to do anything.
Riddhima even wasn’t able to understand him, his different type of moods which were actually worse than mood swings. One time he will shout at her for small things and then will sorry and will make her have her food. Since one year he is being a puzzle to her which she is trying to solve. She wanted to give their relationship a chance and he is busy in shouting at her for any useless matter
———————————-
Riddhima came out of washroom and saw Vansh talking on his phone, he looked at her drying her hairs. A smile came on his face, he only knows how much he wanted to take her in his arms but then shrugged it off thinking she don’t love him.
Vansh came in and Riddhima saw him and passed him a smile but he didn’t smiled back at her.
Riddhima: Vansh, why are you sad?
She asked him as she saw his pale face. Riddhima moved to him and held his hand.
Vansh: I’m not, will you come with me. I’m going out for some work.
He told her and cupped her face on which she shook her head.
Riddhima: What I will do there? Already I’m tired you made me walk for hours yesterday I don’t have any energy.
Riddhima said and hugged him but he didn’t hugged her back making her frown.
Vansh: Now that wasn’t my fault, if you will throw my car keys like that. I can’t drive.
He said chuckling making her look at his face, he looked at her and then hugged her back. She smiled and then giving a forehead kiss he left from there.
Riddhima sat on the bed and then laid down closing her eyes, suddenly their room’s telephone started ringing she picked it up.
Riddhima: Hello.
She said and waited for the other person to say something.
Reception: Ma’am here one man is asking about Vansh sir and Riddhima mam? Shall I send him to your room?
Receptionist said and Riddhima thought to herself.
Riddhima: No, don’t actually Vansh is not here. I’ll come down to meet him. Where is he?
Riddhima said and thought about the person who knows her and Vansh also.
Receptionist: Mam he is here at reception only.
Riddhima hummed and disconnected the call. She grabbed her phone and moved out of the room and came to the reception.
She looked around and didn’t found anyone there.
Riddhima: Riddhima Vansh Raisinghania here, where is that person?
Riddhima asked from the receptionist in front of her.
Receptionist: Mam he was here only.
Both looked around then Riddhima saw Vansh running back to his room pushing one of the waiter in the way. She tried to call him but he didn’t listened.
She ran back after him and saw him entering their room. She stood in the corridor panting and then opened the door and entered in.
———————————-
Vansh was about to sit in his car when his phone rang and he picked it up. Sitting in he started talking to the person, as soon as he was about to leave the hotel. He remembered something and then throwing his phone in the car moved back to his room running.
On the way he pushed a waiter, he didn’t bothered to say sorry even. Coming to his room, he relaxed on not finding her.
Vansh: Thank god she is not here.
He said to himself and then moved to the cupboard, taking out his jacket, he slided his hand in the pocket and took out the envelope. His room’s door open and he saw Riddhima entering. His jacket fell from her hand and he hid the envelope behind himself.
Riddhima: Why were you running like that? Are you ok? And what are you hiding?
She asked him and came to him. She bent to take the jacket, she looked up at him and then suddenly a letter fell from jacket’s pocket. Vansh cursed his fate and was about to pick it up but she did first.
Riddhima: What’s in it?
She asked him and he was about to snatch it but then she pulled her hand away.
Vansh: Riddhima it’s about one of my deals which I’m going to do today.
His voice held fear and she noticed that.
Riddhima: I have full right to check which deal my husband is going to crack.
Saying so she opened it, she looked at the letter. And a shiver ran down her spine and her body was numb.
Riddhima: Vansh……
Saying so she fell on her knees…
