Vansh: Riddhima am Vansh Rai Singhania and I hate if people ignore me. When am speaking something look towards me into my eyes! How many times should I say this!! (trying to show anger)
But suddenly he burst into laughter while she was yet glaring at him in confusion.
Vansh: Arrey yaar!!! I started being jovial and you are being silent. You changed me and now you changed too!! This isn’t taken! Now, who’ll laugh and pull my legs on my PJs!!! (make a face)
He observed that finally!!! Finally, a small invisible and a yet visible smile crept on her lips and his day brightened up. But he didn’t want her to notice that he noticed it. So, kept gazing in other directions. Her gaze fell on the bucket and sponge and then she stared at Vansh who was observing her glares. He wasn’t sure what she wanted to convey.
Vansh: Do you want me to call Dadi/ Ishani?
Riddhima didn’t utter anything but was staring at him. Vansh was clueless
Vansh: Riddhima I know you aren’t able to talk and you don’t want to. But I have a suggestion for this. Yes!! (excited) Why don’t we play with eyelids? I mean you don’t want to speak but can you can answer me with your eyes right! I mean, just blink your eyes once when it’s yes and twice if it’s no! Ok??
Riddhima didn’t respond
Vansh: Arrey sweetheart. At least iske liye toh respond. If you are into this game, then blink once varna twice. Please
Riddhima blinked her eyelids once and he smiled.
Vansh: So!! Come on let’s start our game!! From where do we start!! (thinking)
Vansh: Umm…. Yea So sweetheart you like Meethibaat?
Riddhima with a small smile in her eyes blinked her eyes once.
Vansh: Even I love it! In fact, you know it right! It’s my favorite. So, our next question, do you want to go towards the window and stare out?
Riddhima gave a blink. Vansh smiled and held her gently and taking her into his arms, made her sit on the chair and stood beside her as she was holding his shirt tight. She was facing the environment and was keenly trying to listen to birds chirping. After sitting there for a while, she stared at Vansh
Vansh: Shall we go back to bed?
Riddhima blinked her eyes once. He took her to the bed and placed her and sat near her. He saw her eyes on the sponge bath bucket.
Vansh: Do you want to have a bath?
Riddhima blinked once
Vansh: Riddhima shall I call dadi/ Ishani?
Riddhima blinked twice!
Vansh: You aren’t comfortable with them?
Riddhima blinked once
Vansh: Shall I help you? Only if you feel like …
Riddhima thought for a moment and then blinked her eyes once and was trying to say something
Vansh: Okay! I know what you want to say. I’ll close my eyes and also will turn the lights off. Okay?
Riddhima blinked her eyes once. He smiled and pulled the curtains down and turned the lights off. He proceeded her and arranging bucket and sponge near his reach, he closed his eyes and slowly started removing her clothes, and once done, he started giving her a bath but at times as his hand touched her, she used to jerk and he used to calm her assuring her it’s him and will not let anything happen to her. She was trembling but yet was hung onto his shirt grasping it tight in her fist indicating she’s afraid and he was caressing her hands. He was now near her neck and when he was moving steadily she suddenly
Riddhima: Ahhh!!!
Vansh (worried) (shock): Riddhima am sorry! Am so sorry!!!
He slowly blew air on her neck and started helping her in a sponge bath. He was being gentle and all this, while she was hung on his shirt and at times, was shouting in pain and he was being careful. Once done, he covered her in duvet
Vansh: Sweetheart can you once leave me I’ll get your clothes.
Riddhima left him and held her duvet while he went to the closet to get her clothes. By the time he was back, she was staring at him and she observed that he was closing his eyes still and slowly approached her and started dressing her. Once done, he went and pulled the curtains off and opened the windows allowing fresh air into the room as she needs it. He then proceeds towards the washroom and placed the bucket there and returned back. He sat near her and adored her with nuptial chain and then he combed her hair and setting it right he adored her hairline with vermillion. Then sat back and then his glares fell on her eyes which had tears, he wiped her tears and then spoke
Vansh: Sweetheart, why are you crying now!! No more tears! So why don’t we start our game once again? So, my next question is you like Ishani or Siya more? (wink)
Riddhima gave him a weird blank look and he burst into laughter seeing her confusion.
Vansh: I know if it was my Riddhima then she’d have played boxing with me for asking such a question but seems like you are not my Riddhima. One second are you indeed not my Riddhima!!!
Riddhima was giving him glares of confusion when Vansh spoke
Vansh: Now I need to test you! So, tell me whom do you love the most? I’ll take names and you’ll use your eyes to answer. So, the first name is – Sejal. I mean do you love her the most?
Riddhima blinked her eyes twice
Vansh: Woah! So, Mrs. Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania doesn’t love her best friend the most. So, am wondering whom does she love the most! Your next name is Dadi
Riddhima gave a second thought and then blinked her eyes twice. Vansh was smiling
Vansh: Don’t you think I can use these answers against you! (wink)
She blinks twice
Vansh: Woah Itna trust!! So next name Vansh
Riddhima wasn’t responding and giving her glares freaking him and he was making faces waiting for her to reply. With a glow on her eyes, she blinked her eyes once and Vansh was happiest. He hugged her and she hugged back and she drifted into a deep slumber in his arms due to medicinal effects. He caressed her and encircling his arms onto her, even he dozed off in her thoughts.
There was a knock on the road and Vansh’s sleep broke and he laid her gently on the pillow, covering her with a duvet, he went to answer the door to find Angre
Vansh: What happened Angre?
Angre: Boss how is bhabhi?
Vansh: She’s sleeping. I don’t think you are here for that (raising eyebrows)
Angre: Boss, the police is here.
Vansh: Umm.. ok come let’s go!
He turned to make sure she is fine and closing the door, he descended down to find police waiting for him
Vansh: Yes Officer, any information about him?
Police: Sir, we have been searching for him in the whole city and also have circulated his details to all the stations in the country but no information on him. It seems like he vanished in thin air!!!
Vansh (anger): What do you mean by he vanished! He’s a human and not any bacteria that he’ll just vanish!
Police: Sir, I can understand but there’s no clue of him all around the country. We blocked his cards too so he can not use his money. Even his passport is under our supervision so he cant even leave the country. Police officers are in search of him and so all the check posts are under the supervision and till today none has seen him. It’s very shocking to say that he indeed vanished overnight and his location isn’t known yet!
Vansh: Being a police officer I didn’t expect this from you. Officer, you better find him before I do. Because if I find him, then mark my words, I’ll kill him brutally for trying to mess with my wife.
Police: Sir, please don’t take the law into your hands. We are in search of him and will find him soon. We’ll keep you posted.
Police left and Vansh gave an anger-filled smirk to Angre and he reciprocated with a slight smile. Someone was observing their reactions and they too smirked evilly.
Dadi: I don’t understand how he’s not yet caught.
Ishani: Dadi, please calm down. Police are in search of him, he’ll be caught soon.
Vansh: Dadi you don’t stress your health. We’ll handle it.
They were talking when they heard a cry and all realized it’s from Vansh’s room. Vansh along with their family rushed to find Riddhima shouting in her sleep. Vansh rushed and started caressing her.
Vansh: Riddhima! Riddhima am here! Am here. Don’t worry. Calm down.
Riddhima woke up with a startle and finding Vansh beside she hugs him tight, Vansh calms her and helps her to sit back. As soon as she sits, her eyes fall on the family members who are worried for her. And then something strikes her and her breathing gets heavy worrying Vansh and he gives her a look and tries to calm her but she’s whispering something which is unclear.
Vansh: Riddhima calm down and try to speak
Riddhima: Va… n….sh!!! Va…. nsh!!!
Vansh: Ha Riddhima am here!!
Riddhima: A…r…..ar…. ya…. n….
Vansh: Aryan!!!
Riddhima blinks her eyes once
Vansh: Riddhima Aryan is ….
“Am here Bhabhi!!!” All turned to find Aryan entering the room. Riddhima’s eyes fell on his injuries as he had a fractured hand and his head was bandaged. Riddhima was crying when Aryan came towards her and stood.
Riddhima: H…. o…..w!!! Ahhh (pain in her jaws)
Vansh: Riddhima!!! (worry) Riddhima no! No!!! Don’t stress yourself. I’ll speak. You gesture ok?
Riddhima blinked her eyes.
Vansh: You want to ask about his wellbeing?
Riddhima blinks her eyes once
Aryan: Bhabhi am fine. Just a small injury I’ll be fine soon.
Vansh: Want to ask anything else?
Riddhima blinks her eyes twice
Vansh: Ok!! Done?
Riddhima blinks twice
Vansh: Ok!! What else is to be asked?
Riddhima: T ….h….an…. Ahhh!!! Ahh!!! Ahhh!!!!
Vansh: Riddhima!! Didn’t I ask you not to talk! You are hurting yourself.
Riddhima doesn’t respond but tears aren’t stopping too
Vansh: Acha ok! One second! Do you want to thank him?
Riddhima blinks once.
Aryan: Bhabhi no need to thank me! Am sorry for always hurting you. This is the least I could do after all that I have done in the past. But am sorry bhabhi I couldn’t do my duty properly
Riddhima is still in tears
Vansh: Aryan don’t blame yourself. You tried all that you could. And am grateful for that.
Riddhima blinks once
Vansh: Look your bhabhi also agrees with me!
Vansh and Aryan share a warm hug.
Aryan: Am sorry bhai I always hated you and bhabhi but that day when I saw him taking her with him something hit him in my heart and I followed him to see all that and then I couldn’t see her in that state. I felt as if someone is hurting my family! Someone is hurting my sister. I tried all I could to help her but in vain. I couldn’t save her from this trauma.
Vansh: Don’t say that Aryan. Maybe if you didn’t fight him, something else might have happened but your timely response saved her.
Riddhima: A …..h…..a…..na!!!
Vansh: Ahana?
Riddhima blinks once
Vansh: Riddhima, she was trashed and so she’s in hospital and we are taking care of her.
Riddhima is weeping
Vansh: Riddhima don’t cry. She’s fine! Wait will you speak to her?
Riddhima blinks once.
Vansh: Angre!!
Angre: Yes Boss I’ll call her.
Angre informs Ahana about Riddhima wish to speak to her. He hands over the phone to Vansh who holds it for Riddhima
Ahana: Hello Riddhima. How are you?
Vansh: Ahana she’s unable to speak. You ask I’ll translate her answer
Ahana: I totally understand. So, seems like you are being pampered a lot
Riddhima doesn’t react
Vansh: Absolutely. She’s the queen of the house so, she’ll be pampered right!
He gave a look to Riddhima but she didn’t respond. She was staring at Ahana and Vansh understood her glances, she was trying to speak but Vansh cut her
Vansh: I understood I’ll ask ok!
Vansh: Ahana how are you?
Ahana: Riddhima am fine. Am perfect. I do have some wounds which would fade in few days.
Riddhima was giving a glare to Vansh and he once again understood
Vansh: Ahana Riddhima wants to say “Sorry”
Ahana: Riddhima you need not, in fact, am sorry. I always hurt you. But that doesn’t mean I’ll see you suffer in the hands of a monster. Being a woman I had to raise my voice against injustice and I did it. That day I was there as it was my hideout but what was happening was not what I have ever expected. I wanted to stop him but then I know he’d not pay heed to me so I decided to call Vansh but then why will he believe me!! So, I decided to send him the proof. I started recording everything on my phone and sent it to him. After a while, he called and by then Aryan was injured and you were being tortured. I was about to come to save you but then I received a call and it was Vansh and when I told him everything. By the time he was there, we both were injured and he dragged you into the room. His assistants helped us and he came for you. Even today I feel only if I had strived more maybe I could have stopped all this. Am sorry! Am sorry Riddhima I couldn’t do my best
Riddhima glared at Vansh and he nodded as she was asking him if indeed he got there to save her as Ahana gave the location. She then blinked her eyes twice when Ahana was saying sorry. Vansh understood and nodded
Vansh: Ahana Riddhima wants to thank you for your help and don’t blame yourself because if at all you weren’t there then maybe I could have delayed in reaching her and ….. I don’t want to even talk about that. Forget it!!!
Ahana: Yes!! By the way Riddhima I accept our beginning was not that good but I was wondering if we could start afresh. Can we be friends?
Riddhima tried to smile but wasn’t able to so she glared at Vansh and blinked her eyes once.
Vansh: Sorry Ahana she isn’t interested
Riddhima was glaring at him while Ahana laughed.
Ahana: Vansh you are risking your life by playing such pranks now. Once she gets well then you’ll repent. And Riddhima I understood your gesture and yes now we are friends. And yes once am discharged I’ll come and meet you.
Vansh: We’ll be eagerly waiting.
They bid bye and all departed their rooms leaving Vansh and Riddhima alone. Vansh bought some fruits and was feeding her and she seemed to be lost once again. He gave her medicines and she dozed off holding his shirt.
Vansh: I know Riddhima you are afraid and trust me this time I won’t commit any such mistake again. I won’t leave you alone!! Am always there to protect you and that bastard… (anger) That bastard who hurt you will die with much pain. He will die daily until I allow him to die. And being Vansh Rai Singhania am not going to allow him to even die. He needs to pay for whatever he did to you. It’s payback time.
He was lost in thoughts when he heard a knock on the door and found Ishani
Vansh: Ishani what happened you here?
Just then Angre too came to give some news to Vansh but seeing Ishani he stayed put.
Ishani: Bhai I want to speak to you. Not here, but in the study.
Vansh nodded and closing the door he was leaving when he felt leaving Riddhima alone isn’t preferable. He was hesitant when dadi came
Dadi: Vansh it’s ok you go. Ishani might have some work with you. I’ll stay by her till you come back.
Vansh nodded and left and while leaving Ishani glared Angre to come. Once in the study,
Ishani: Bhai I want to see him
Vansh: Whom?
Ishani: Bhai Kabir
Vansh: Once I grab him you can see him but why do you want to?
Ishani: Oh, come on bhai! I know you. Do you both think you can fool me?
Angre: Ishani what are you talking about?
Ishani: Stop beating around the bush and just say for what you came Angre! I know Angre, you are here to tell about him. So, shoot
Vansh smiled and nodded
Angre: Boss am here to ask what next!!
Ishani: So, now tell me where he is!
Vansh: Why are you eager?
Ishani: Bhai first answer my question and then I’ll
Angre: How did you know?
Ishani (smirk): Angre some bastard tried to touch Riddhima and you guys expect me to think that you are relying on cops!!! I had the doubt for long but then saw you both smirking after cops left so my doubt was confirmed. Now tell me
Angre: He’s in our hideout
Ishani (stern): I want to see him …
Vansh (shock): Ishani why?
Ishani: Bhai hear me full …. I was saying I want to see him suffer. He laid his hands on my sister. I want to torture him with my hands. I want to give him my sought of torture. (evil smirk)
Vansh: This is Ishani Rai Singhania. Angre, tomorrow we shall go and then we’ll decide what next (smirk)
Vansh departed to the room to see Dadi & Siya speaking with Riddhima while she wasn’t responding but was giving them blank smile. Dadi saw him standing
Dadi: Vansh! We’ll go, you take care of her. I’ll send the dinner for you both
Vansh nodded while they left. He saw Riddhima trying to get down the bed with difficulty. He approached her and lend his hand which she held and tried walking but was unable to
Vansh: Done with your trials?
Riddhima glared him
Vansh: What? You know right now you aren’t speaking and so this is my time and I’ll do and say whatever I want to. You cant stop me!! (giggles) Acha first let me drop you because you seem to be interested in experiments and stunts.
He lifts her and drops her in the washroom. Later he had some work so was working on his laptop while he asked Riddhima to see the TV and turning it on he sat on the chair. Dadi sent food for them in their room and Vansh fed her before eating it himself. He gave her medicines and sat beside her blabbering something to keep her engaged. Slowly she drifted to sleep and he held her and dozed off.
The next day dadi and Siya were with Riddhima when Ishani along with Vansh & Angre, reached their hideout. Ishani followed them and reached a room where in the center on a chair a person was tied and his face pale and was covered in blood and his hands and legs had many bruises. He was half nude. Seemed like he was semi-dead. Vansh was burning in rage while Ishani was a bit confused and gave a look towards Angre and he nodded his head with a smirk and Ishani smiled seeing the visual. Vansh glared at his men and they splashed a bucket of cold water on his face and he woke in a startle. His eyes were haze and were trying to figure when he heard laughter and his glare fell on Ishani who was laughing hard while Vansh & Angre smirked.
Ishani: Ohh poor Kabir!! (laugh)
Vansh (anger): You dared touch my Riddhima! You dared to touch my wife. You shouldn’t have done that Kabir. You dig your own grave. Now face the consequences of being the reason for the tears, pain, and trauma of my Riddhima.
Angre: Boss what’s the next torture?
Ishani: Can I?
Vansh (smirk): Sure
Ishani: Angre what all did you try with him?
Angre: Have been keeping him alive for 5 days without food and water is given once in a while. Whipped his body. Got hard punches on his face by everyone. Broke knuckles. And have even plucked his leg nails.
Ishani: What yaar bhai just these? (anger) He dared touch my sister. He dared to molest her. He gave her trauma. He gave her the pain. He snatched her smile. He snatched her voice. He snatched her happiness. Now I’ll avenge her insult. Angre do you have any hot objects?
Angre: Like?
Ishani: Any hot iron rod or coal
Angre: Give me a moment I’ll arrange.
He was back in 5 minutes with a hot iron rod. Ishani smirked while Kabir was trying to shout but his mouth was plastered. Vansh was no less than a burning rod himself. Angre handed the rod to his men and Ishani took a step forward
Ishani (anger): You dared to touch her right! These hands touched her inappropriately and these eyes were carrying lust for her right. You gave those filthy marks on her body. Now, this hot rod will give you the marks. (towards the men) Give him marks on his hands and face. I wanted to give on your eyes and mouth but then I want you to see those marks and I want to hear your cry. I still can hear her cries in my ears now I need to hear yours. (Angre) Angre remove that plaster I want him to shout.
Angre does the said and his men start their torture and listening to his cry Ishani & Angre were smirking. Kabir’s cries were out of the rood. He was burning in the pain and Vansh was burning in rage. Suppressing to the pain, he collapsed while Ishani burst into tears. Angre hugged her to calm her
Angre; Ishani why are you crying?
Ishani: Because this pain is less than the pain she’s going through. I want him to face much pain. I want him to die physically but mentally he needs to face more torture.
Vansh: Ishani don’t worry! This wish of yours will be fulfilled.
They all came back by evening to see Riddhima sleeping on Dadi’s lap.
Vansh: How is she dadi?
Dadi: She’s trying to open up Vansh. but her pain is stopping her. The whole day we spoke but she didn’t even utter a word. But when I was about to go after giving her medicines, she held my hand nodding her head in disapproval, and then laid her head on my lap and slept. I feel pity for her.
Vansh (smiling): It’s good dadi, after me, she’s gesturing only you. She’ll be fine soon. Acha you go and take rest. I’ll be here.
Dadi: Vansh you freshen up after that I’ll leave.
Vansh left for the washroom and after a while when he was back, dadi left and he took her into his lap and caressed her face and hair. After a while, dadi sent the food for them. And he seeing her sleeping peacefully didn’t feel like disturbing her sleep so placed the food aside and was adoring her when Aryan came
Vansh: Ha Aryan need something?
Aryan: No bhai just came to check on her! How’s she?
Vansh: Don’t know. At present is in deep slumber. Hope she’ll get well soon
Aryan: Bhai she has to, after all, she’s such a spy (wink)
Vansh smiled and their talks disturbed and Riddhima woke up startled and seeing Vansh & Aryan she sighed a relief
Aryan: Bhabhi how are you now?
Riddhima blink once
Vansh: She’s fine.
Aryan excused himself after a small talk and Vansh and Riddhima had their dinner and she slept off with Vansh dozing off beside her.
It’s been a week since that incident, she was trying to get back to normal. Though she wasn’t coming out of the room yet, she was trying to speak. That night after dinner Riddhima slept while Vansh dozed off hugging her. In the middle of the night when he woke up in sleep he found her missing and panicked and was about to go out to search for her but then he heard sounds of water flow and some weeping sounds, he rushed towards the washroom and luckily it wasn’t closed. Once he entered, the visual he saw was terrific. She sat nude beneath the shower and was crying inconsolably scratching her body as if trying to get rid of those marks on her body. Vansh ran to her and hugged her tight, she was weeping inconsolably in his arms. She was murmuring
Riddhima: Va… nsh!!! Va…. n…. sh!!! The…se mar…ks kill me!!! Vansh please save me! Remove these marks. He touched me here (crying) (pointing to her hand) he touched here (pointing towards her legs) he bite me here (ear and shoulders). He hit me here (pointing towards cheeks) He was about to grab my ….. (pointing towards her br*ast) (sobbing)
Vansh hugged her tight to calm her
Vansh (anger and pain): Shh!!! Shhhh!!! Riddhima I can’t take anymore! Stop Riddhima stop it!!!
Riddhima (crying): Vansh he’ll come again. He’ll …. He’ll
Vansh: Riddhima No!!! No!!! Come let’s go out. You’ll catch a cold.
He covers her with a towel but she throws it and staring at Vansh
Riddhima: Vansh!! Please get rid of these marks. They are hurting me. Am unable to face myself. (cry) Please Vansh! Please! You are Vansh Rai Singhania right! Nothing is impossible for you, so please take away these marks, they are paining. He tore my dres…s. He saw me nud…e. (sob) Please Vansh! Please remove these marks.
Vansh (tears rolling): Riddhima! Please calm down. Everything will be fine. Trust me!! And these marks we shall remove together with time. Now come you’ll get unwell.
He covered her once again in a towel and Riddhima got up and with his help was walking out as he held her tight towards him. She stopped in her tracks
Riddhima: Vansh I want to have a warm water bath
Vansh: Riddhima you just got yourself wet and now once again would affect your health. (concern)
Riddhima: Vansh please I need it (blank expression)
Vansh: Shall I help you?
Riddhima glared at him and observing his concern for her, she nodded. He led her back to the washroom and turning the shower, he held her under it and steadily unwrapped her towel. She looked like a baby having her first bath after birth. She didn’t even look towards him; she was crying and he’s aware of that. He gently started cleaning her and she cried in pain whenever he touched her wound. He caressed the place and then his glares fell on her whole-body bruises as over this week she never let him see and after one week she’s having a bath and not a sponge bath. His eyes had tears of anger, pain, annoyance. Volcanoes were erupting in his heart and eyes, he wanted to kill Kabir for giving such bruises on her body. His glare then fell on Riddhima who was crying and he calmed himself and gently wiped her tears and placed a peck on her forehead. She hugged him and was crying while he gently started cleaning her bruises behind her and was being steady. She did feel a bit relaxed as the warm water was not only cleaning her wounds but also was washing away his filthy touch. Vansh wished only if this shower washes away her pain. He was observing but maybe due to medicinal effect, she drifted into slumber in his arms under the shower. He smiled and wrapped her in the towel, he gently picks her as if she’s a glass doll and one wrong step would lead to breaking it. He lays her on the bed and adores her with the clothes, he too changes and sleeps beside her encircling his arms around her, he covered themselves in the duvet and he dozed off adoring her and after witnessing her pain, he wanted to torture that Kabir more.
The next day when Riddhima woke up, she saw herself on his chest with his arms securing her as if protecting her from all the troubles. After a whole week finally, a small smile crept on her face. She inched closer to his chest and listening to his heartbeats she once again unaware drifted into sleep. Vansh opened his eyes to find her sleeping on his chest with a smile on her face.
Vansh (thinking): Finally!!! Finally, sweetheart, you smiled. This is enough for me. I assure you this way you’ll be back to my Riddhima soon. (smiling) Everything will be fine soon. I’ll do it!!
He pulled her closer and dozed off hugging her. After a while, when he woke up he saw she’s still sleeping on his chest, he brushes her hair strands and placing a peck on her crown, he places her on the pillow and goes to freshen up. By the time he’s back, he saw Riddhima sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes rubbing them like a kid. Vansh smiled before proceeding her
Vansh (kissing forehead): Good Morning Sweetheart
Riddhima (yawning) (hugging him): Good Mor…..ning Va…. nsh!!!
Vansh (smiling): You fine? (worry)
Riddhima (assuringly smiling): Yes I am!!!
Vansh: Chalo, you freshen up. I’ll get our breakfast.
Riddhima: Vansh!! Actually, …
Vansh: What happened?
Riddhima: Can we have breakfast with everyone at the dining table?
Vansh (excited): Are you sure?
Riddhima (nodded): Just give me 2 mins I’ll freshen and come tab we both shall go!
Saying so she hurried to the washroom when Vansh shouted from the back
Vansh (shout): Sweetheart no hurry you’ll hurt yourself. Take the time I’ll wait
He was happy and glad that finally, she was getting back to normal. He saw her exiting from the washroom and approached the dressing table she wanted to tie her knot behind and was stretching her hand back but the shoulder injuries were hurting her, and she was wincing in pain when she felt two cold hands running behind her back and though first, she jerked but then she’s aware who it was she sighed relief and gave him a glance from the mirror and he smirked
Vansh: I know you are a superwoman and can do all work yourself but that doesn’t mean I’ll let you do everything! Even I want to help you so I’ll do and you cant stop me.
He tied her knot and then even did her hair, adored her with nuptial chain, and filled her hair with vermillion.
Riddhima: Vansh you go I’ll be coming behind you
Vansh nodded and left and once he reached the dining area, dadi got up and was arranging food on the tray for them but he stops her
Vansh: Dadi not necessary for that
Ishani (confused): Bhai why!! I mean Riddhima needs to take her medicine so she needs to have her breakfast
Vansh: Ishani I meant no need to arrange food in the tray because she’ll be eating with us at the dining table.
Siya & Ishani (excited): Sachi!!!
Vansh nodded and gestured towards the staircase and there they saw her descending the stairs with a smile on her face, she was about to trip but a hand held her and she turned to find Aryan
Aryan: Bhabhi you are fine? (concern)
Riddhima (smiling): Am fine. Thank you.
Vansh along with their family rushed towards her, he held her to his heart worried
Vansh: You are fine?
Riddhima: Am fine Vansh!
Once he broke the hug, Ishani and Siya pounced on her and she hugged them back and dadi hugged & blessed her. Aryan and Angre gave her a side hug.
Dadi: Riddhima beta am happy to see you once again coming down
Riddhima smiled
Ishani and Siya weren’t leaving her side
Vansh: Guys let me remind you she’s my wife and you better leave her (jealous)
Siya: Ishani seems like someone is jealous (teasing)
Ishani: Exactly Siya!! Not even allowing us to be near her
Dadi: Stop it you both. And Riddhima beta come let’s all have breakfast together after a long time.
Everyone reached the dining area and Riddhima’s eyes were searching
Riddhima: Dadi where are Chachi & Chachu?
Aryan: Bhabhi they are coming
As soon as they reached their eyes fell on Riddhima and as if they got their life back, Chachi shouted
Chachi: Riddhima (excited)
Riddhima saw them coming and she smiled at them
Chachi and chachu came and giving her a hug asked about her well – being
Chachi: Finally, Riddhima now this house seems house.
Chachu: Exactly we missed you a lot beta. Hope now you’ll create that magic once again.
She smiled and everyone had breakfast together while Vansh and Angre were stealing glances and this was observed by Ishani. After breakfast, Vansh gave Riddhima her medicines
Vansh: Sweetheart I have important work and I need to go. If needed anything just give me a call and I’ll be here.
Riddhima: Vansh! Am not a kid. Vaise bhi Dadi, Siya, Ishani, Aryan, and everyone is here so no worries.
Vansh (smiling): Take your medicines on time.
Riddhima nodded. He hugged her and giving a peck on her forehead, he left towards the study where Ishani and Angre were waiting
Ishani: Bhai what happened?
Vansh (anger): Last night I have seen her breaking, writhing in pain, have seen her worse condition and all this is because of him. He gave her those marks which are being a hurdle in her happiness. She was scratching herself trying to get rid of his touch and marks. She was hurting herself.
Ishani (anger): Bhai she’s trying to get back to normal but those bruises are holding her back!!! She needs to fight that and it’ll happen when we give her support.
Angre: Boss what next now!!!
Ishani (fierce): Now I know what should be done to that bastard!! Bhai you go and wait for us there I’ll come with Angre. Angre come with me
Vansh: But where are you going?
Ishani: Where I’d get something, which would show him what its to be given bruises (adamant)
She along with Angre goes to a place while Vansh reaches the hideout and finds Kabir bleeding from every inch of his body and writhing in pain, he was pale and weak. Even this condition of him didn’t soothe the pain Vansh was carrying in his heart for Riddhima. He wanted something painful for him. That’s when Ishani & Angre arrived and Ishani straight away went towards Kabir and asking their men to wake him. When he woke by a splash of hot water he gave a jerk and woke with a startle and his eyes were dead, there was no life in his body, he was physically dead and was waiting for dying mentally too but that was not going to happen this soon because death is an easy way for him after what he did.
Ishani (fierce): You are very eager to bite someone and give your marks right! Now I’ll show you what’s it to be marked or bite. Today I want to hear your cries when it bites you and marks you. Angre!!!!
Angre gets 2 wild dogs and Vansh smirks understanding what his sister is up to. Kabir’s eyes widen in fear and Ishani smirks seeing that fear, he was mumbling no, no, no but in vain
Ishani (smirk): The same fear, the same cries you gave her. Now my heart has a relief seeing you going through the same. Now suffer and we’ll enjoy as you did while hurting her.
Angre left the dogs towards Kabir and they were barking, scratching, and biting him all over the body and his cries resounded in the whole area. The cry of pain, the cry of fear, the cry of hell!!! The pain he gave her would be with her until she starts fighting against it and it isn’t far. The day she’d be once again the fierce Riddhima but one thing she’d never know is her molester is being tortured for over a week and his cries are unheard the same way what happened to her. The torture was such that the blood in his body drained away, he was molested too but in a different manner.
Ishani: Na, na, na (evilness) This isn’t enough Kabir for what you did! I have another punishment for you and that’s going to be the last punishment from my side. Won’t you like to see it!!
Angre brings a sharp sickle and hands it over to his men, Kabir had an expression that showed that he’s being killed and being freed from the torture and Ishani smirked
Ishani (smirk): Tch… Tch… No Kabir you guessed it wrong. Death is the freedom to you and am not that kind. Death is easy get away from the crime you committed and if I do that then I can never give justice to my sister. So, my punishment is you’ll live and beg for death but we won’t let that come to you. That doesn’t mean we’ll let you live too! You’ll be hanging on a cliff-hanger between life and death waiting for death. Now am going to chop your private part which tried to thrust her (fierce). You were very eager right! Very amused. Now I am eager to see you in that pain and am amused too!!!
Kabir’s eyes widened in shock and gathering all the strength and courage he has, he started shouting but in vain as their men already approached him, Vansh was stunned by her this torture but he along with Ishani and Angre smirked seeing his fear. The moment the sickle ripped his part, the blood oozed and Ishani of fear hugged her brother and hid her face in his chest and he caressed her while Kabir was writhing in pain. After crying in pain for a while, he lost his consciousness. Ishani wiped her tears and gave him a disgusting look and reached home along with Vansh & Angre.
After all that happened today, she was exhausted and stressed so Angre took her to their room and helped her to take some rest. Vansh reached his room to find Riddhima sleeping. He smiled and sat beside her caressing her hair and she woke up to find him staring at her lovingly, she smiled and crawled onto his lap.
Vansh: So Mrs. Rai Singhania missed me?
Riddhima: A lot!!!
Vansh: Woahh!! So, what all did you do today?
Riddhima: Spoke with Siya for along time when Chachi and Aryan too joined and we just spoke for a while and then after lunch, I was exhausted so decided to take rest. You know what I feel sleepy even after not doing anything (making a face)
Vansh (smiling): You are on medication sweetheart; you’ll be fine soon. By the way, took medicines?
Riddhima stuck her tongue out and he observed it and was giving stern look when she glared at him from his lap
Vansh (stern): Riddhima!!
Riddhima: Forgot oops sorry!!! (making a face)
Vansh: How can you be so careless!!! Now get up and take the medicines
Riddhima sat beside him when he gave her medicines and she took them giving him a look, their moment was disturbed by a voice and they turned to see who it was
“Did anyone miss me” Riddhima’s eyes widened and she ran to hug that person while Vansh was smiling.
Riddhima: Thank you so much Ahana
They both bonded along and Vansh was smiling seeing the cold-blooded enemies turning into warm friends. Everyone met Ahana and she asked for forgiveness from everyone for her previous behavior. And forgetting everything everyone moved on. Vansh gave her job offer letter in VR Industries, Delhi, and accommodation details and informed her about her flight the day after tomorrow and she was happy. After dinner, she left.
As time passed, Riddhima started getting over the incident and started mingling with everyone and opening up as usual and Vansh was happiest seeing her. She almost forgot the incident that occurred 3 weeks back but if at all she gets reminded of that she found solace in Vansh and her family who gave her support all the while. And in these 3 weeks, Kabir was tortured and tortured of which she was never aware of. After the punishment Ishani gave him 2 weeks back, she never went there as somewhere she found solace in his pain but then she didn’t want his cries to affect her child so she stopped but Vansh & Angre used to visit him twice a week to vent their anger and frustration but a few days back he succumbed to the injuries and he was burned to ashes in the same place. Police were still in search of him but they didn’t know that he already experienced hell and now once again reached hell. Vansh was happy to give the punishment he deserved and somewhere he killed the monster who dared hurt his sweetheart. He never told all this to her as it wasn’t needed.
In the beginning, he never got intimate with her as she needed time and gradually they started getting close. She was getting comfortable with his touches and he didn’t drag all that swiftly, he gave her the time she needed and she appreciated that caring, understanding nature of her husband and fell for him once again.
That day after his busy schedule he reached home to find Riddhima standing near the window deeply observing the night sky. He slid his hands on her waist and she aware of the owner of the hands blushed and holding those hands, she laid her head on his chest while he was nuzzling on her neck.
Riddhima: When did you come?
Vansh: Just now!!
Riddhima: How was your day!
Vansh: Exhausted sweetheart! (making a face)
She realized his expressions and turning around, she faced him and tiptoed herself and placed a peck on his forehead, he kissed her nose and was nuzzling it and turning her around, he started kissing her on her neck and was proceeding towards her cheeks but then stopped in his tracks and realizing something he bent down on his knee and
Vansh: Riddhima!
Riddhima turned around to find Vansh on his knees which shook her
Riddhima: Vansh! What are you doing!!! (shock)
Vansh: So, Mrs. Vansh Rai Singhania, would you like to go on a date with your husband?
Riddhima (blushing): What’s this Vansh!!
Vansh: Answer me! Would you like to go on a date?
Riddhima (smiling): Yes!!!
Vansh: So, now get ready, we’ll be going for dinner. And here is your outfit. I feel you’ll be stunning in this outfit and I’ll love it if you wear it tonight
Riddhima (blushing): Thank you
She places a peck on his cheek and rushes into the closet to change elated. Vansh was smiling.
Vansh (thinking): This dinner is to divert your mind from thinking about stressful matters and am sure this night would definitely bring a smile to your face. I can’t see tears or frown on your face and I can do anything to bring a smile to your face.
After a while when Riddhima was out, Vansh couldn’t shift his gaze from his love life. She was looking ravishing in strapless tulle degrade layered dramatic gown. She could feel his glare on her and this sent shivers down her spine and she dared not lift her head and look into his eyes as this would be a weak moment for her and so stared at the ground without uttering a word. Vansh who imagined her stunning was now out of words to describe her. He was in search of words to explain his state. He approached her and she could sense her heart pondering. He laid his cold hands on her shoulders which sent chill down her spines. Pulling her closer to him he placed a small peck on her forehead making her blush.
Vansh: You are a drop-dead gorgeous sweetheart!!! Am unable to express your beauty.
She hugged him and they started their journey towards dinner. He didn’t reveal where he was taking her and she was unable to bear the suspense.
Riddhima: Vansh!!!!
Vansh: Ha bolo
Riddhima: This is the ‘n’th time am asking you where are we going?
Vansh: And even I told you n times it’s a surprise
She turned towards the window and made faces and Vansh was giggling to see her act like a kid. Vansh pulled her cheeks
Riddhima: Ouch!!! What was this for?
Vansh: You looking pumpkin making faces
Riddhima made another face on his remark and he stopped the car in a jolt and before she could realize why he halt the vehicle she finds his lips on her shocking her. But she didn’t object as somewhere in a corner of her heart she wanted that to happen at that moment. They both were exploring their mouth fully showing their dominance while their tongues were trying hard to stop each other. After a while when they felt sought of breath they parted and Riddhima was blushing while Vansh placed a small peck on her forehead and got down the vehicle
Riddhima: Vansh! Where are you going?
He didn’t answer and approached the passenger seat and as a thorough gentleman opened the door for his lady love and extended his hand gesturing their destination is here. She held his hand and he led her into the entrance and blindfolded her
Riddhima: Vansh!!! Vansh am afraid please this is so dark am unable to see anything!!
Vansh: Shhh…. Sweetheart!! Am here no need to be afraid! Just go with the flow.
Riddhima nodded and he led her into some dark area where he removed her blindfold but she could see nothing as it was pitch dark and she didn’t find even Vansh around when she opened her eyes. She started panicking when she saw some lights flickering at a distance and when she went there, she found a table arranged with lights and balloons filled around. She had a small smile crept on her lips. She then heard sounds of waves and started turning around to make sure what those sounds were when suddenly she felt her feet getting wet and then another set of lights turned on and it was a replica of the gazebo and it was a beach date. Her eyes gloomed with excitement and happiness when she felt a kiss on her shoulder and instantly hugged him
Riddhima: Thank you so much Vansh
Vansh: Anything for you sweetheart!
He led her towards the gazebo and after settling there, he served her red wine and later served her Truffled French Fries which she was having with excitement and her etiquettes were funny which bought a smile on Vansh’s face.
Riddhima: Vansh these are yummy!! What’s for the main dish?
Vansh: Sweetheart first complete these then you’ll get to know
She makes faces and then resumes her fries and when done, he served her with French Casserole with Apple tart and Chocolate Éclair. Her eyes popped out in surprise and she just pounced on them as if it’s their last dinner. He asked her for a dance and they twirled around the gazebo whenever the waves touched their feet she felt overwhelmed and used to jump like a kid. As time passed, they walked around the beach hand in hand and he covered her with his blazer.
Riddhima: Vansh! Shall we leave? It’s getting late I guess
Vansh: Sweetheart we aren’t going home tonight
Riddhima (excited): Phir?
Vansh: Surprise!! (wink)
He once again blindfolds her and this time, he holds her hand and walks her towards a place and once her blindfold is removed, she saw a beautiful wooden cottage decorated with fairy lights facing the sea. Her excitement had no bounds. She jumped upon him while he led her in and there found a small living area with a sofa and a TV, then next was a kitchen which had all the food she would like to have at night and early in the morning. Then he led her to the cozy bedroom with a small bed with a fireplace and a beach view balcony. She was overwhelmed.
Vansh: Sweetheart you go and change yourself till then I’ll arrange the fireplace.
Riddhima nodded and left for the washroom and after a while when she was back, she saw the room lit with scented candles and lilies with dim lighting. She felt on cloud nine. Her gaze then fell on the door where Vansh is arriving with hot chocolate in his hands. His gaze fell on her who was clad in Turtle Neck Mini Sweater Dress and he was stunned to see her looking hot on this winter night. She was blushing and he diverted his gaze and placing the tray on the table, he approached her
Vansh: Sweetheart are you in any plan of killing me?
Riddhima: Maybe (smirk)
Vansh: And am ready to die in your hands (wink)
Riddhima blushed and he led her to the fireplace and they both sat there having their hot chocolate when she draped themselves in a duvet and crawled into his arms as he encircled the tiny creature into his embrace. They sat chitchatting while she was drawing figures on his chest. Out of blue she suddenly placed a peck on his lips, before he could react, she gave another and he was amazed. And she was blushing and seeing his reactions she was giggling so, she once again approached him and was about to give another peck when he suddenly grabbed her lips and started nibbling her lower lip and she took time to understand what happened and then after realizing she too started reciprocating and this playful kiss turned into passionate, love and wild kiss. Lack of oxygen they backed out and he was staring in those black eyes which had tears and before he could understand why she was crying, his mind started blabbering as its because he crossed his limits but then she hugged him tight and snuggling his neck she spoke huskily
Riddhima (huskily): I Love You Vansh!!!
Vansh: I love you too sweetheart
He started placing wet kisses on her nape and neck and she was moaning. He gently lift her in his arms as she was having an eye lock with his eyes, he placed her on the bed and hovering above her, he smacked his lips on her and started exploring every inch of the mouth. Was giving wet kisses all over her body and slowly slid her dress till shoulders and was giving her gentle kisses making sure not to hurt her. She was covered with his love and when he was about to enter her he gave a look and crawling over her face he leaned towards her earlobe and whispered
Vansh: Can I? If you aren’t comfortable we will not do this!
Riddhima with tears in her eyes seeing his concern for her, she smacked her lips on him, and once backing out she just nodded her head and he kissed her forehead before entering her as she moaned his name. After a long love-making session, they lay covered in the duvet with her sleeping on his chest in his arms. He was smiling and observing how life played such a bad game with his sweetheart and how she defeated her pain and once again she found her happiness. He pulled her closer and drifted into their dreamland.
The next morning was beautiful as she woke up in his arms and the sun was bringing new happiness into their lives. She kissed her cheek and whispered
Riddhima: Good Morning
Vansh: Good Morning Sweetheart
Riddhima smiled and was about to go to freshen up but he pulled her back and she fell on his bare chest and he held her tight
Riddhima: Vansh!!!
Vansh: Riddhima!!!
Riddhima: Vansh let me go! I need to freshen up
Vansh: No sweetheart it’s not needed. This is far much better. This posture is the best
Riddhima: Vansh!!!
Vansh: Acha ok!! (making a face) But before that give me my morning fees
Riddhima: What’s that?
Vansh pointing towards his lips and she understood and his puppy eyes were being too cute that she can’t resist and smacked her lips and they once again engrossed into a passionate kiss which turned into another intense love-making session. After a while when Riddhima was in the shower, she felt 2 hands sliding behind her back and she freaked and turned around to find Vansh smirking, she was shocked, and pulling the towel she covered herself before giving him a stern look
Riddhima: Vansh!!! What’s this?
Vansh (approaching her): This is washroom sweetheart (smirk)
Riddhima: Vansh! I need to freshen up.
Vansh: Who’s stopping you! Even am here for that
Riddhima (raising eyebrows): One second! How did you come in! Didn’t I close the door?
Vansh (smiling): You forgot which gave me a chance to sneak behind you
Riddhima: Oh shit!!! Vansh now leave na please.
Vansh: Not before doing what I want to
Riddhima: What do you mean? (questioning look)
Vansh smirked and pulled her and unwrapping her towel, he started romancing her under the shower. He started washing her face and then slowly his glares fell on her neck which had water droplets and he started sucking her and her moans turned him on and he started moving his hands behind her back and she started undressing him. Being nude in front of each other, they had an intimate session under the shower and later dressed each other before having breakfast which was cooked by Vansh for his sweetheart. He cooked her favorite Garlic Bread and she was licking her fingers and he was adoring the kid in her.
Finally, the villain of their life had his cup of tea and faced the bitter fruit of his deeds. His lust, his obsession for her has swallowed him in his deeds. If he had indeed loved her, he would have never had a lust for her body, he’d have given her space. He’d have understood that she loves Vansh the same way he loves her. He’d have understood that love is a pure relation and it cant be misjudged with lust and obsession. He never loved her if he did he would have never asked her to sacrifice her love for his revenge. His obsession ate him and the love Vansh and Riddhima have for them made their bond stronger. They crossed many obstacles to reach to their love. They had many hurdles; they gave tests to prove their love and win each other. Now, after crossing them they are together in love. Because eventually, nothing is stronger and powerful than love. Nothing can conquer your true love…..
!!!THE END!!!
In this world, some people think they can do anything with girls and there won’t be anyone to point the fingers at them. In this mean world, some men are ruling it and for them women are nothing but a s*x toy on whom they’d satisfy their desires willing or forcefully. Women’s tears and pain aren’t a matter to be considered when it’s a matter of cruelty. Why should only women face this? Why are women not considered human who has dreams? When a woman is a victim of the cruelty of a monster, why is only she’s asked what she wore? Where she was roaming? With whom she was? Why are women questioned and why not the same questions are asked to men? Why is it that women have limits and borders? Why cant there be some limitations for men too? Why don’t these men understand that a NO is a NO!! Not Yes or Not MAYBE!!! Is it difficult to understand one word? Why are the laws against cruelty on women so weak around the world? The women who are victims of this molesting suffer every day but the criminals who are responsible for this roam around freely or either end up in jails enjoying the hospitality there. Cant, there be a strong law where they could give a verdict the very next 24 hours after the incident and they be hanged to death or something severe where they’d never ever disrespect a woman again not even in their dreams!! Why are the molesters given mercy and victims face the torture!!!!
LAWS NEED TO CHANGE!!!! SOCIETY NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!
!!!!!A NO IS A NO!!!!!!
