Episode starts with….
(flashback starts)
2 months back. In a room, Riddhima is seen standing upset, depressed staring at the night sky. Vansh arrives and stares at her who was in tears
Vansh: Riddhima….
She turns around to find Vansh staring at her with concern and she gives him a blank look with moist eyes which had tiredness of crying all days long.
Vansh: Riddhima till when will you confine yourself in this room!! You need to cope with whatever happened. I know whatever happened can’t be changed but that doesn’t mean you’ll hurt yourself this way! Am worried for you
Riddhima: Vansh I know you are worried but what do I tell to my heart which is weeping for all that happened and it’s like that incident is still visible in front of my eyes. Whenever I close my eyes that visuals disturb me and when I open I can’t face myself. Am tired Vansh!!! Am tired!! (collapsed & crying)
Vansh was about to go towards her to give her some support but she stood and spoke
Riddhima: Vansh upon all this your family is adamant to get us married. You are my best friend and you’ll be but…. but something more than a friend is not what can happen neither today nor later. Since few days I have seen them trying hard to convince me to marry you and with no way out I was forced to agree but… but am sorry Vansh I can never be your wife! I was, am, and will always be your best friend and nothing else. This decision is going to affect our future but am…. (weeping)
Vansh (hugging her): Riddhima why are you giving explanations!!! I know you and even I was forced to accept this proposal so I need to be sorry on behalf of my family! Am sorry Riddhu! You are facing troubles because of my family and am helpless.
Riddhima: No Vansh don’t be. And am not upset with your family because they are still thinking of my well–being after all that happened with me in the past few days. Am glad I have you and your family for myself now. From today you and your family are my everything. But I have only one request Vansh….
Vansh: What’s that Riddhima?
Riddhima: Please never expect love in our marriage because I don’t think I can ever give you all that!!! And if at all at some point you feel that this marriage is a burden to you or in the near future if you find any person worth to be your life partner then am always ready to move out of this marriage. Because for me your happiness is important and this marriage is just for family and society.
Vansh: Riddhima no need to speak all this rubbish. Am not going to leave you alone at any cost. I accept this marriage has no value but trust me our friendship is the most important relation to me and I’ll abide by that till my last breath.
He hugged her and calming her he walked out of the room and once out
Vansh (thinking): How do I tell you that I love you and I want to stay in this marriage even if it’s going to be one-sided relation! For you, it’s just a relation for the family but for me, it’s for myself. How could you even imagine that I’ll decide to get out of this marriage or find someone!! This can never happen. You are my soulmate and will be forever. And I hope maybe in near future someday you’ll also feel the same for me. I’ll wait for you till then!!!
He wiped his tears and left for his house.
(flashback ends)
Vansh wakes up with a startle to observe that it was his dream!!
Its 8am, VRS Mansion,
Vansh: Why the hell I got this dream as if its reminding me of the base of this marriage!!! I didn’t forget anything. I think this dream was an indication that I can’t hurt her and need to stay by the condition and distance myself from her!!
He felt her breaths on his chest and realized the night’s happenings. He checked her temperature and sighed a relief as she was normal now and her fever faded. He got up and wore his shirt and rushed into the washroom. He got ready making sure he doesn’t disturb her sleep and was about to go when he heard a knock and when he opened it he found dadi
Vansh: Dadi!!
Dadi: How is she now!
Vansh: Dadi she’s perfectly fine. Her fever vanished
Dadi: Thank God!! By the way, where are you heading?
Vansh: Dadi I have an important meeting today I need to go varna I’d have stayed back with her but ….
Dadi: It’s ok I know if it was possible you’d have canceled or postponed because for you nothing is important than her. It’s ok, you leave. We are here to take care of her.
Vansh: Thank you dadi and yea make sure she doesn’t step out of the room and most importantly from her bed. She stressed herself to such an extent that her health condition deteriorated and as per the doctor’s prescription she needs to take rest and her medicines are on the side table along with the time at which they are supposed to be given. And yea I informed the hospital authority about her health and they have granted her leave for today and so tomorrow however it’s off. So, make sure she takes much rest
Sejal: Arrey bhai these many instructions!!! Uff!!! (teasing)
Vansh: Shut up Sejal!!! She’s unwell and you know your friend she’s so stubborn that as soon as she wakes up she would get ready to go to the hospital. Mark my words!!!
Sejal laughed and hi-fived her bro. He was about to leave but then stopped in his tracks and entered his room to have a look at his sweetheart before leaving. He caressed her sleeping face and placing a peck
Vansh: Take care Riddhu. I’ll try to be back soon
Vansh (thinking): What am I doing! I need to distance myself from her to avoid hurting her. Am sorry Riddhu but I don’t think I’ll be back soon. You take care. I Love you but for your betterment, I need to be away from you.
He left the room in a swift way and Kabir observed his actions and thought to have a word with Vansh as his actions had a hidden intention and Kabir wanted to know because he observed the pain in Vansh’s eyes when he went to meet Riddhima before leaving.
Hope you like it.
