The Day – Riansh One shot

Hello, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here, however I do sometimes post on Wattpad.

For those who still remember me, please do support me the way you all used to. I’d love to read your comments.

This One shot takes place 15 years after the Makar Sankranti track.

Starts

Dadi: I want everything perfect, you all know who is coming today!

Dadi went around the house ordering the servants to work properly. After all, the only hope to lighten VR mansion was coming back. She was returning.

Ishani: Dadi, please take a rest, I’ll do the rest of the preparations.

Dadi: There’s not much time left, how can I rest?

Ishani: Dadi, I know you’re excited as always but you should know that you’re the not the one who was earlier, you’re much weaker now due to your deteriorating health. (worried)

Angre: Ishani is right Dadi. You should listen to her, since she listened to you and improved her behavior. (mocking)

Ishani: Youuu! (irritated)

Dadi: Well, he’s right in a way. (laughing) Anyway let’s go, where’s  Vansh?

Angre: Dadi, he’s in a meeting right now. He’ll finish it up soon and join us.

Ishani: He can’t leave his work for once? At least today.

Angre: He’ll be here soon, He can’t ever miss this day.

With that Angre left to make a call while Dadi and Ishani took care of the preparations. Siya and Aryan arrived to help them in arranging all the items.

Siya: Where are the flowers meant to be attached?

Ishani: Siya, on the pillar. By the way, where’s Arnav (Siya’s husband) and Yashvi (Aryan’s daughter)?

Siya: Arnav had to go on a business trip.

Aryan: Yashvi had a lecture, so I just dropped her to her school.

Dadi: I wish Sianna (Aryan’s Wife)  was here (sad)

Aryan: She wouldn’t be happy seeing you sad dadi. Let’s cheer up and continue. (brushing a tear from the corner of his eye)

The gates opened and a car drove inside the VR mansion area. It drove over to the entrance of VR mansion and stopped. At the same time, Vansh walked downstairs to where everyone was gathered at the door step, excited to meet her. The car door opened and a pretty, middle heighted teenager stepped down.

She tucked her remaining front hair strands behind her ears as the rest were tied securely in a pony tail. She had a huge smile on her face as she saw her family members once again after a month. She quickly rushed to hug Vansh.

Vansh: Vishali!!!! (hugging) Princess, missed you sooo much!

Vishali: Missed you very much!! Dad.

After a long hug and a forehead kiss, they separated. Vishali moved on to Dadi who was standing beside Vansh. She took her blessings and hugged her. Vansh looked at the car, in attempt to have a glance of his lady love, Riddhima. Everyone stood there looking at her with tears in their eyes; they couldn’t deny that they missed her each and every day in these 15 years, that she was away from them.

Flashback

When Riddhima had enough of Vansh’s toxic attitude, she decided to leave him and his family, based on a kite flying competition between her and Ahaana. Siya luckily was able to tell the family the truth and Vansh realized his mistakes but it was too late. He managed to stop her but this Riddhima made up a stern decision, she wasn’t going to return back whatsoever.

Vansh had decided that he wasn’t going to give up. He did his best to gain her back. Nothing seemed to work.

But destiny had its own plans. Riddhima then found out that she was pregnant. This was the best moment in her life but it reminded her of Vansh and his toxicity.

Riddhima: Vansh, I need to tell you something, we need to meet urgently. (sent a voice message to him)

Vansh immediately left for her house when he received her messaged. As he reached her apartment, he found the door open for him. He entered and approached Riddhima who was in the sitting on the chair in the dining room.

Vansh: Sweetheart, what’s the matter? (kneeling in front of her)

Riddhima: I don’t want to talk much but just to let you know, I’m pregnant. (straight face)

Vansh: Really?!! Sweetheart I can’t believe this…..I’ll be a dad and you…. (happy)

Riddhima: Stay away Vansh. I just wanted to inform this to you. If you think I will come back with you then you’re wrong. When this child is born, You and your family will be allowed to see it, spend time with it. However when it grows up, I’ll bring him or her to you once a month. I didn’t want to be unfair by keeping you away from your child but I can’t reconcile with you. You have broken me Vansh, so don’t expect much from me.

Vansh having no other choice agreed to all the conditions she placed. He had the guilt of mistreating her, and Riddhima was right in her place too.

Flashback ends 

Vansh walked to the car followed by Vishali. He had tears in his eyes as usual when he saw her every month. His ignorance reminded him of his deeds, it was his punishment. They hadn’t had a divorce yet but living separate was not much difference.

Vansh: Riddhima, (softly) thank you for bringing her.

Riddhima: I’ll pick her up tomorrow. Bye baby (to Vishali)

Vishali: Mumma, please come inside, everyone misses you.

Riddhima got down the car and went to Dadi, taking her blessings and hugged her. Once she did that, she looked at everyone and went back to her seat. She waved to her daughter and took a quick glance at Vansh and drove off.

A tear rolled down her face as she left the vicinity. Slightly away from the mansion, she stopped her car and cried, reminiscing Vansh’s teary face that was loaded with guilt. It hurt her when she saw him; the aura his face carried around had gone, he was not the same person anymore.

She couldn’t help but think about the past, it pricked her heart when she remembered the torture Vansh had given her, the hatred he had shown towards, the pain he had given her. She too had her self respect, which she couldn’t have lost, once again. She had to be strong to take a decision like this.

She wiped her tears, took a deep breathe and drove off to her workplace. She was now an independent working woman, the type she always dreamt off.

Back to the mansion, the entire family spent time with Vishali. They treated her with her favorite dishes, with some family time, some entertainment and some father-daughter time. Their bond was special like all the father daughter relationships.

Time flew fast and it the sun rose for th e next day. After having a family breakfast together, the gates opened once again. Riddhima came back to pick her daughter up.

Vansh: Princess, take care. I’ll meet you later next month. (kissed her forehead)

Vishali: I will dad, you too. (whispering to him) I’ll try convince mumma again. Don’t worry.

She bid adieu to everyone and sat in the car where she greeted Riddhima. They both took a glance at the family and drove off, waiting for the next month.
