!!!Happy Kiss Day!!!

The Episode Starts with….

Riddhima ran into the direction of accident and clearing the gathering she went to see Vansh standing in front of the vehicle with his had bleeding and Riddhima panicked seeing him, she shouted

Riddhima (shout): Vansh!!!!

She ran to him and hugged him tight trying to make sure he is fine. Vansh wrapped his arms around her assuring he’s fine

Riddhima (worried): Vansh you are fine? Did you get hurt?

Vansh: Riddhima!! Riddhima calm down. Am fine nothing happened to me!

Riddhima: How can you be so careless! If something happened to you then! Did you think of me!! How can you be so selfish Vansh! Can’t you take care of yourself (concerned and upset)

Vansh: Am fine. Am not hurt. Seriously am fine

Riddhima (sarcasm): Am not hurt!! Hahaha!!! Funny!! Did you see your arm, its bleeding goddamit!!! You are wounded and yet saying ki you are fine. Am I blind!!! (anger)

Vansh: Arrey sweetheart once check your surroundings. You are scolding me on road and everyone is looking at us (embarrassed)

Riddhima turned around to find everyone staring them confused and shocked

Riddhima: I don’t care who stares at us, it doesn’t matter to me. If there’s anything that matters then that’s you and nothing else. First not you, where’s that driver who’s responsible for this (angry)

She turned around to find the driver still in his seat not getting out of the care even the crowd was banging his window demanding him to get out. Riddhima pushed them and reaching his seat she pulled her heels and warned him

Riddhima (fierce): Look if you don’t get out of the car then am going to pelt stones and slippers on you and your vehicle. I need you out in the count of 3….3….2…..1….

He was out. Riddhima held his collar and dragged him. She slapped him hard

Riddhima (anger): How dare you hit my Vansh! Are you blind! Cant you see a person on road? Are you drunk?

She gets the smell of alcohol from him; she bashes him once again.

Riddhima: You drunkard, you are driving when drunk and hitting people on your way? If you want drink and die do it but why are you risking other’s lives. You risked my Vansh’s life and now you’ll repent coming on the road in this state.

She starts slapping him, Vansh tries to stop her but in vain. He holds her from behind tying to stop her but she gave him a fierce look but he was trying hard to stop her when the driver fell on road. But she was adamant to kill him. The driver who had enough of insult couldn’t bear more and seeing that she was still eying him with anger, he approached her and was about to hit her and raised his hand when Vansh held his hand and coming in front of her with fierce eyes, he twisted his hand behind him and kicked him hard that he fell down

Vansh (anger): Don’t you dare! Am injured by your negligence I’ll forgive you but you tried raising hand on my Riddhima and now am not going to leave. You shouldn’t have done this mistake. Now face the consequences of trying to hurt my wife.

By now police came and arrested the person on drunk and driving case and Riddhima took Vansh to the hospital for dressing his wound. Once in her cabin, she was dressing his wound with tears in her eyes. Vansh was observing her care for him and then his eyes fell on her tears, he wiped those tears and caressed her face. Riddhima didn’t object and was letting him relieve her stress

Riddhima: How can you be so careless Vansh! What if something happened to you! I would have died (crying)

Vansh: Shh… never talk about death. I can’t live without you. And am fine. Nothing happened dot me! Its just a small wound, I’ll be fine.

Riddhima didn’t utter and was just caressing his wound being engrossed herself in his eyes and he held her face caressing it lovingly when they saw Angre enter the cabin in a hurry and Angre closed his eyes in reflex and Riansh composed themselves before Vansh spoke

Vansh: Angre come in

Angre: Boss are you fine?

Vansh: Yes I am. But how did you know?

Angre glared at Riddhima who was busy scribbling medicines. Vansh smiles at her and then approaches her but she doesn’t look at him instead glares Angre

Riddhima: Angre take him home and make sure he takes rest for today and give him these medicines. He’ll be fine by tomorrow.

Angre nods and Riddhima was about to leave when Vansh holds her wrist and gestures Angre to wait outside. He pulls her closer to him but she isn’t looking him into his eyes instead is staring glances. Vansh observed that and holding her chin, he makes her face him with tear in her eyes

Vansh: Riddhima what happened? Why are you crying? Am fine

Riddhima didn’t utter anything was just staring somewhere away from him. He slid his hands on her waist skipping her heartbeat and pulled her onto him, her eyes carried shock and puzzled look which led to smirk on his face. Vansh moved towards her left ear and placing a peck on her earlobe, he whispered

Vansh: Cant you forgive me for one last time? I love you and the life without you is nothing but a living hell

His voice had pain and Riddhima who has trying hard not to let her feelings flow couldn’t hold back and hugged him tight suppressing her fear, pain and all the negativity in their relation. She hugged him to comfort her pondering heart which eh reciprocated with a smile on his face. His happiness had no bounds. He was flying high. Riddhima found peace in his arms and his heart which beats for him found its solace. She could sense her back wet and realised its his tears which rolled down her back, she broke the hug and found the tears in his eyes which he was trying to cover up by wiping but then Riddhima held his hand, tiptoed herself and wiped his tears with her cheeks, feeling his rough beard pierce her soft skin. He cupped her face, wiped her tears and kissed her eyes.

Vansh: Shh… no Riddhima, no more tears. I cant see you this way. Your tears pierce me.

Riddhima: For the second time I felt my world collapsed, the thought that something might have happened to you broke me.  My heart was pondering until it saw you safe and sound at the accident spot, its when it sighed a relief. The thought of losing you once again is so tough for me and if at all something such happens once again then I’d die!! I’d die with the pain. Please never leave me ever. This Riddhima isn’t anything without her Vansh.

Riddhima hugged him and relaxed herself when suddenly they saw the door opening and nurse came in and Riansh composed themselves

Riddhima: Yes Sister

Sister: Ma’am patients are waiting shall I start sending them in?

Riddhima: Give me few minutes, I’ll call you

Sister nodded and Vansh stared at Riddhima

Vansh: Riddhima shall we go home?

Riddhima gave him a puzzled look

Vansh: Please don’t deny. The house isn’t a house without your presence. Every corner of the house reminds us of you. Everyone is waiting for your arrival. Have had many sleepless nights without you now cant take it anymore. So, please….

Riddhima: But Vansh …..

Vansh: Please Riddhima, please come back!!! I can’t live there without you. Please!!! Please!!! (making a face)

Riddhima: Vansh!! Please listen to me once

Vansh: Riddhima why are you doing this? You forgave me and even gave a chance to this relationship right then why aren’t you convinced to come home?

Riddhima (shout): Enough!!!! Wont you listen to what I have to say? MA saying, I have many appointments so will come home in the evening after my shift

Vansh bit his tongue while Riddhima was giving him dagger looks, he hugged her tight while she hit him on his chest and he smiled at her. Angre who heard Riddhima’s shout decided to check on them and so opened the door and as soon as he entered he gave a confused look,

Riddhima: Thank God Angre, you are here, take him and make sure he takes rest, whole day

Vansh: Where? Am not going anywhere!!

Riddhima: What do you mean?

Vansh: I mean am not going anywhere leaving you here

Riddhima: Vansh don’t be a kid, you need rest so just go now.

Vansh: Riddhima, don’t be stubborn I said am not going so am not going, no more discussion on this.

Riddhima (stern): Vansh!!!!!

Vansh: Riddhima!!!!

Riddhima: Anger drag him out

Vansh: Angre dare you do!!

Riddhima: Vansh what’s this! I need to attend my patients. You are wasting my time

Vansh: Riddhima am not stopping you from attending your work, am just informing you that am not going home without you. So, I’ll be here until you finish your work. And then we’ll leave together

Riddhima: Vansh…. forget it!! Do whatever you want to. Now out of my cabin.

Vansh: That’s like my sweetheart. I’ll wait for you.

Riddhima smiled at him and turned towards Angre, who was confused of what was happening

Riddhima: Angre, can you give his medicine after breakfast. First make sure he eats something

Angre nodded in confusion and along with Vansh left for waiting room and once there observing confused looks on Angre’s face, Vansh giggled nd then revealed that she’s ready to come back and Angre was overjoyed and informed everyone at home about Riddhima coming home in the evening and all started making preparations to welcome the happiness of the house. Angre bought some breakfast for Vansh mad gave him his medicines

Vansh: Angre I don’t need these medicines am fine

Angre: Boss I cant ignore Bhabhi’s saying. She asked me to take care of you and I am not going to back out

Vansh: Interesting Very Interesting… so, now you’d follow your bhabhi’s orders

Angre: Why not boss! I always followed you and your orders now I’ll do the same with bhabhi because I cant risk hurting her once again

Vansh smiled and took the medicines and attended all his meetings from hospital waiting room through teleconference’s. Meanwhile, Angre informed Sejal about all that happened and she was happy the most and arranged all the belongings of Riddhima and Vansh’s driver picked it and delivered in VR Mansion. After her shift, Vansh drove Riddhima to VR Mansion and all along the way Vansh didn’t leave her hand afraid to lose her once again. She was welcomed home with much happiness and excitement. She took blessings of Dadi and then Ishani asked for forgiveness. After dinner everyone retired to room when Riddhima was unpacking her luggage, Vansh was on call with someone.

Vansh: Riddhima

Riddhima: Ha….

Vansh: I have a good news for you

Riddhima: What?

Vansh: Actually, was planning to shift Sejal to VR Mansion. I have considered her my sister so, technically she’d be here right!!!

Riddhima (happy): Thank you so much Vansh! This is the best thing I can ever ask you for!

Vansh (hugging): How can’t I fulfill my sweetheart’s wish! I know you are worried and missing her so, shifting her here. She’ll be here by morning.

They both spoke a while discussing before dozing off in his arms. Vansh caressed the strands of hair and tucked it behind her ears, placed a peck on her crown

Vansh: Finally, I found my solace. I found my lost happiness. I found my peace. You are back and my happiness too is back. I can sleep peacefully now. I just hope I’ll never hurt you again. I cant live away from you. You are my everything and a day without you is nothing less than hell. Now you are back and I know your pain is still affecting you but trust me I bought you back so now my love will heal your pain and you’ll be my Riddhima once again, the same old Riddhima.

He held her closer to him and dozed off with a smile.

Its 8am, VR Mansion,

Vansh woke up to find Riddhima missing from his left side, he panicked and woke in a startle with negative thoughts running in his mind when suddenly a soothing voice interrupted his thoughts

“Good Morning Vansh” He turned towards his right, where he found his love getting ready near dressing table. He sighed a relief and approached her when she was about to fill her hairline, he stopped her hand midway confusing her, he took the vermillion box in his hands and

Vansh: “All I want is you by my side at the end of the day. I promise to be with you always in every thick and thin of your life. Love makes no demands and expectations – Just sincerity and Trust and today I assure you that our relationship would be filled with transparency and there wont be any space for misunderstandings. I promise to love you, not forever because forever is too short ….. but I promise to love you each and every day of our lives. Am sorry for all the pain I gave. Today I promise to keep you happy and never let any pain come near you. Happy Promise day Sweetheart!!!”

He filled her hairline and adored her with Nuptial Chain, placed a peck on her forehead and she hugged him expressing her happiness. They welcomed Sejal and she was happy to get a family who treated her one among them. After breakfast everyone departed for their respective work places. Vansh dropped Riddhima to her hospital and then he went towards the house. The day went smoothly with number of calls and messages exchanged as they missed each other. Vansh came to pick her and they drove to beach to spend some quality time with each other as they faced many hurdles in their lives and so it was needed.

Walking hand in hand they were allowing the waves to wash away the negativity in their lives. Riddhima was curious to know about Chachu, Chachi & Aryan as they weren’t in the house

Riddhima: Vansh, where are chachu, chachi & Aryan?

Vansh turned pale and didn’t bother answer her question and his grip on her hand turned tight indicating he’s angry and this made Riddhima understand he doesn’t want to discuss about it and so she decided to turn his mood to good

Riddhima: Vansh shall we have Pav Bhajji?

Vansh took her to a stall and were having a tasty mouth-watering Pav Bhajji and the way she was licking her fingers proved her to be a child yet. Vansh smiled at her childishness. They drove back home and Riddhima was tired so as soon as dinner was served, she pounced on bed and dozed off. Vansh who came after some talk with Angre noticed her sleeping and pulling her towards him, he slept creasing her back.

Its 9am, VR mansion,

Vansh woke up an hour ago and went for a jog making sure he doesn’t disturb her sleep.  He had some discussion with Angre before gong back to his room to find Riddhima’s back towards him and she seemed to be out of the shower drying her hair unaware of his presence. He steadily proceeded towards her and slid his hands onto her waist freaking her

Riddhima (shock): Who the …..

She stopped mid-sentence when she realised that the touch isn’t new, she calmed herself

Riddhima: Vansh!!!

He smiled at her and he hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulders and was snuggling before turning her towards him and bending down on his knee he bought a rose for her and

Vansh:

“Your hugs heal me every day. They are pure, beautiful, warm and lovely. A tight hug from you fuels my heart. Nothing feels better than your hu. I cannot wrap my love for you in a box, but I can warp you in my arms to let you know how deeply I love you. Love me, kiss me, and wrap me in your charming hugs because they make my day. No matter how bad my day is, your hug makes everything feel so good. Let Me Live and Die in Your Arms. Just Like This, Let Me Continue to Love You. Happy Hug Day Sweetheart!!!”

She accepted the rose and wrapped herself in his chest inhaling his existence and relaxing herself with his heart beat. He kissed her cheek and turning her around, he was giving wet kisses on her neck and nape. She was moaning his name and he was marking her his and proceeded towards her lips. She closed her eyes in anticipation and as he was about to slam his lips, they heard a shout

“OH SHIT!!!!”

They composed herself and turned to see Siya with her eyes closed. Vansh berated himself while Riddhima was embarrassed and Siya was chuckling.

Siya: Am sorry to disturb but Dadi called you guys for breakfast so join. Vaise if you want I can tell you are busy (wink)

And she ran from there and Riddhima was giggling.

Vansh: Vaise sweetheart, idea isn’t that bad I guess (wink)

Riddhima understood his gesture and as he was about to pull her, she pushed him gently and ran out

Riddhima: Come fast for breakfast Mr. Rai Singhania.

He smiled and left towards washroom to freshen up. They had breakfast and Vansh had a meeting so Riddhima went by herself towards her hospital. She was examining her patients and explaining them the exercises they had to follow when suddenly she felt dizzy and sat on the spot trying to cope up. She drank some Glucose water and once again started examining. As the day passed, she sat to have lunch when she heard a knock on her door

Riddhima: Come in

“Hello Sweetheart”

Riddhima’s eyes glowed and she had a broad smile on her face

Riddhima: Vansh!!!!

Vansh: Having lunch alone! Very bad (making a face)

Riddhima (smiling): Will I get any dream that you’d be coming?

Vansh: I am here to surprise you but seems like you are happy alone

Riddhima: Shut up Vansh! Come join me lets have lunch together

Vansh: What? You’ll have this home food when am here!!

Riddhima (raising eyebrows): What do you mean?

Vansh: One moment sweetheart!

Vansh (calls Angre): Angre got it?

…

Vansh: Oh, get it to her cabin

The door opened and Angre came with 2 bags which seemed to have some food most probably. Riddhima was glaring at Vansh and then Angre. Once Angre left, Vansh unpacked the bags and here was her favourite burgers and pasta, her eyes popped in excitement

Riddhima: Wowww!!!! Burgers and Pasta. Thank you so much Vansh. I have been wanting to eat it from morning

She didn’t even wait for Vansh to join or react, she started gulping everything as if she had been denied to eat for years. Vansh was amused to see her doing so as she never such in all these months. But her this childishness filled his heart with much love and he just wanted to have her till his last breath. He too joined and she was feeding him once in a while and he was having great time. After the lunch Vansh left bidding bye to her and assuring to pick her up in the evening.

After a while, Riddhima started feeling nausea and ran into washroom and she puked. She felt a bit weird but then brushed the thoughts and continued her work. She felt weak. She wanted to go home as she wasn’t feeling well

Riddhima: What happened to me! Am feeling dizzy and nausea since morning. And soon after lunch I even puked which never happened till today. Is it because I had much of the junk food? But I do have it regularly then why this uneasiness today!! I think I better take rest for a while and then I’d be fine.

She asked the sister to cancel her appointment as she’s unwell and called Vansh to ask him to come and pick her but her calls and messages were left unanswered. She waited for a while expecting call back but when she didn’t receive any she called Angre and he answered it with 3 – 4 rings

Angre: Bhabhi

Riddhima (weak): Angre, where’s Vansh?

Angre (worried): Bhabhi you alright? You seem to be unwell

Riddhima: Ha Angre am unwell and was calling Vansh to pick me but he isn’t answering my calls or messages. Is he fine?

Angre: Bhabhi bhai is in an important meeting maybe he didn’t see your call varna he’d have answered. You don’t worry I’ll inform him now

Riddhima: Angre its ok. You said its important so let him attend it, I’ll go myself.

Angre: Bhabhi no am coming. I cant let you go this way

Riddhima: Its ok Angre. He needs you. Am fine. I’ll manage

Angre: Bhabhi its ok I’ll be sending a vehicle you just wait few minutes

Riddhima: Ok.

Angre sent another vehicle for Riddhima and as soon as she reached home she dozed off as she was indeed weak. Later after meeting when saw his phone, he saw her number if missed calls and messages, he panicked and cursed himself for not being available and was worried for her safety. He called her but didn’t receive any response as she unknowingly kept the phone in silent mode and was sleeping. He was freaking and rushed out, when Angre saw his hurry and guessed and approached him

Angre: Boss…

Vansh (panic): Angre Riddhima called me and I didn’t notice, now she isn’t answering my calls. Track her now!!!

Angre: Boss… bhabhi is fine.

Vansh: What do you mean? How do you know?

Angre told him everything

Angre: So, may be she’s taking rest so not answering your calls.

Vansh: Shit!!! I wasn’t available for her when she needed me. Angre why didn’t you disturb me! You know what’s she to me. I could have cancelled the meeting

Angre: Isliye bhabhi asked me not to disturb you.

Vansh brushed the thoughts and left in hurry hoping she’s fine. As soon as he reached he rushed into his room to find her sleeping peacefully. He relaxed and sat near her caressing her face

Vansh: Am sorry sweetheart. I wasn’t available when you needed me the most. I hope you are well now. This mistake wont be committed again. I assure you. I’ll not be this careless once again.

He goes to freshen up and then had dinner but she didn’t even budge all this while. He was worried for her.

Its 11:45 pm,

When he came back to sleep he saw her making slight movements, he caressed her face and she opened her eyes to find Vansh caring her

Riddhima (sleepy): Vansh….

Vansh (concern): Riddhima!!! How are you now? Shall I call doctor?

Riddhima tried to sit and he helped her

Riddhima: Am fine. Maybe I needed some rest.

Vansh (hug): You scared me. Am sorry I didn’t notice your calls and messages varna I could have cancelled the meeting for you. Am sorry for not being available when you needed me.

Riddhima: Vansh am fine now and I asked Angre not to disturb you. I just had to take some rest and see now am fine.

Vansh: You need anything? You might be hungry right!!

Riddhima: I want to eat chocolates my tastebuds died maybe. (making a puppy face)

Vansh (smiled): Acha wait I’ll see if we have any.

He went into the kitchen and found some chocolates and ice – cram. He took them in a tray into the room to find Riddhima coming from washroom. As soon as she saw the chocolates, she sat on the bed as a child and grabbed them and was eating them and Vansh was confused by her behaviour

Vansh (thinking): What happened to her! She was weak a few minutes back and now is so excited to have this chocolates as if she’s starving for years. She turned crazy! But her this childishness is so cute and lovely. Am falling for her once again.

Something strikes him, he turns around and finds a chocolate she didn’t even touch, he grabs it before she notices it and glares him as if he snatched her property

Riddhima (anger): Vansh!!! You took my chocolate! Give it.

Vansh: Give me a moment I’ll give it to you.

He sat beside her and spoke

Vansh: “A peck of kiss by you every morning brightens up my day. Kissing you is like dancing in the rain; it is an exciting kind of sensation that you can’t help but fall in love with. A Kiss is just a gesture of love and affection which comes from deep within the heart and touches deep within the soul. You are the only person I want to kiss for the rest of my life. Kiss on your forehead is my way of telling you that you are the most special friend I have. Happy Kiss Day Sweetheart!!!”

He comes towards her and she expects him to kiss her lips and closes her eyes in anticipation and he smiles at her and takes a change of path and kisses her forehead. She smiles under her tears. He wipes it and hugs he to his heart. He plays with her hair and she is playing on his chest and they lay down sliding into a peaceful dreamland away from all the stress.

I hope you like it!!! Am working on further story and will post soon! I tried to give some different touch to the story! I Hope I didn’t disappoint anyone! Am open to suggestions on any part.
