R(to her baby): Baby, The Riddhima, he is talking about doesn’t exist anymore, He killed her.
V(in horror): Please don’t say that.
She ignored him again and laid on the bed hugging a pillow.
V: Help me, tell me what to do for you, I am so helpless, I’ve never felt like that, Please, Riddhima I love you, I am madly in love with you, I was ass*** to you but I really loved you. forgive me, please.
He heard her sobs and gathered some courage to go closer to her.
V: sweetheart, let me be with you, near you, And take care of you. I won’t ask anything, I promise.
She was quiet and he adjusted himself near her and caged her in his arms, After so many days, he found peace again and slept.
Confirming that he was asleep, she caressed his face.
R(to her baby): I want to forgive your dad, baby, But I am scared of being heartbroken again, I can’t go through the same again. I love him but he wounded the heart it has a love for him.
V(still closing his eyes): I will heal it, sweetheart, I promise.
R(with open mouth): You
V: At least, You said one word, (he went near her belly and whispered sending shiver in her spine) Baby, tell your mommy that daddy won’t repeat his mistake again as he loves you both insanely.
He lifts up his head and saw the effect of him on her, And kissed on her belly, She unknowingly closed her eyes at the contact of his lips on her skin, but he backed off.
V: I am sorry, I again touched you without your consent,& I am sorry for the first time because I ruined it and accused you of infidelity, that day, the bastard provoked me intentionally.
She lifts up her head in curiosity and he continued.
V: He told me that you love him, and took the bullet for him, it was the first time I drink to the extent that my senses were knocked down as I was so jealous, I am so sorry because I hurt you.
She felt the wetness of his tears on her face, and she wiped it.
R: Tomorrow, I have to go to the hospital.
He felt so joyful that the ice started to be broken between them.
V: Let’s sleep now, you need to rest.
she closed her eyes and they dozed off together.
Next day
Riddhima and Vansh visited the gynecologist who assured them that the baby-mom duo were fine, And ordered them to take proper care. The gynecologist asked Vansh to stay as she wanted to talk to him;
V: Riddhima, wait for me outside.
she went out and the doc started warning him from the depression from which she suffered, As it has to be healed as soon as possible, or else, She might hurt herself. Promising her, to not let anything upset her, he left searching for Riddhima.
R’s pov
I departed the hospital absent-minded thinking of his words, He was wrong and so I was. Both of us made many mistakes, Should I give him a chance? I heard him calling my name loudly and I turned to him smiling.
R: Vansh
He ran as fast as he could and pushed me out of the way only to see him get hit by a car.
Blood started shedding from his head and I cried aloud, and He was admitted to the hospital.
I was wailing non-stop and his family came, Dadi took me in her arms.
R: dadi, will he leave me now? He is in that condition because of me, I want him back please, Tell him to wake up. He has promised me to take care of us.
D(wiping her tears): he will be fine.
Ishaani couldn’t pacify her as she was herself crying while Angrey tried to comfort her. She saw a nurse and asked her.
Nu: Sorry, we lost the patient.
unable to bear the shock, She gasped and lost her consciousness after hearing about her husband’s death.
An hour later
She woke up and found the family with her, Recalling what the nurse told them, She started crying again.
R: Vansh is dead? How can he be dead! How can he leave us alone? I can’t live without him. He said he loves us.
V: I am not dead, sweetheart, don’t cry.
His head was bandaged with a broken arm, he stood in front of her, She took the serum out and run to his arms weeping.
R: She said you’re dead.
I: She was mistaken, Riddhima, The nurse talked about another patient who injured badly and died.
R: Thank god, Thank you for not leaving me, I love you.
V: I love you too sweetheart, If I knew that I will be forgiven, I would have planned my accident.
R(closing his mouth by her hand): Don’t, please never even joke about it.
They joined their foreheads and their nose touch while they smiled happily to have each other safe.
D(coughing): We are still here.
They were embarrassed and Riddhima tried to move but he held her in his arms.
V: Sorry dadi, I got back my wife after a long time so I won’t leave her.
They chuckled and went out giving them privacy.
V: I almost lost faith in living a happy life, You were my last hope, I wanted it with you, To be happy that’s why I’ve gone mad when I thought you didn’t love me, I am sorry & I love you, sweetheart.
R: I love you too, Even you were my last hope to be rescued from loneliness, You gave me my family, yourself, and my baby. I can’t be more glad.
V(corrected her): It’s our baby, Our family.
R & V : Our Ria
5 years later
Riddhima was glaring at her husband and daughter duo while making the pizza.
V(whispered to Riansh):if the look can kill, we would have been dead.
Ria:ha dad, she is so irritated.
R: stop whispering, both of you.
Ri:dad said that your look can kill.
She gave him angry glare and he eyed his daughter who trapped him.
V: I was just telling her how your look
Can kill because of your beauty.
Ri: interesting dad, very interesting, then it would be my misunderstanding.
V: by the way, when will you finish it?
R(yelled): enough of annoying me, in this state, I have to prepare your pizza.
V(innocently): sweetheart, I was about to make it.
R:/don’t repeat that joke, the last time you were allowed here, you created such a mess, which it took for so long to reorganize it, I can believee that you are the same man who told me that he hates disorganized people.
V(holding his laughter): it’s the side effect of staying with you.
Ri: dad, you are gone case now.
V: no no I like myself more now, who is coloured by you.
Riddhima put the pizza on the table and left them behind.
Ri: mom is angry now.
V: haa, with her mood swings, I hope she doesn’t make me upside down.
Ri(laughing): The Vansh raisinghania is scared, not bad, dad.
V: When it comes to her, I am just Vansh, now, this angry bird should be pacified.
They strolled into the room and found her sitting pouting like a child.
Ri: awww my mom is so cute
V: Yeah that’s why I married her.
She rolled her eyes at them understanding very well.
R: stop buttering me.
V: sweetheart, we are sorry, I hate tiring you.
Ri: yes mom, I am sorry too, I don’t have the appetite to eat without you.
She smiled feeling loved from her lifelines.
R:let’s eat together then, I am so hungry, and yes pathidev, you have the full right on me and my baby too.
They both came and hugged her carefully not to touch her stomach.
R&v :love you, sweetheart.
R: love you too.
Her smile went wider when they kissed on her either cheeks.
