Hello Everyone!!
The OS begins from Riansh getting the locket in the parcel. Please ignore, if itâs not according to the track, I donât remember much! đ„ș
The OS begins asâŠ..
In RIANSHâs room,
Riddhimaâs POV:
Vansh and I, opened the box to see what was inside. The things inside surprised me. There was small locket of đïž (om) but half.
Who could have given this? I held the locket in my hand.
Vansh: Whatâs it?
Riddhima: Itâs a locket! Very special!
Vansh: Why?
Riddhima: I donât know! But the orphanage said that I was wearing it when I was left there.
Vansh: Show me!
Vanshâs POV:
I hadnât seen the locket clearly.
Vansh: Show me!
She handed me the locket. What?? How? How is this part with her? This canât happen! I was still in shock when she shook me.
Riddhima: Where are you lost?
Vansh: No where!
Riddhima: Vansh, can you make me wear this locket?
Vansh: Ya!
I am still in shock. I made her wear the locket and she smiled. I can do everything for her smile, a small smile.
Riddhima: But why would someone want to parcel this?
Thatâs what! Why?
Vansh: I donât know!
Dadi: Riddhima, Vansh, come down for lunch!
Riddhimaâs POV:
Dadi: Riddhima, Vansh, come down for lunch!
Vansh and I walked downstairs. I still canât understand who could send this parcel. Vansh got a call so he went to answer it. As I was walking down, I saw a chit near the staircase. I picked it up and opened it.
âHey Riddhima,
Itâs not at all a prank! The walls of Raisinghania mansion have buried a number of secrets inside them. You wonât be able to dig all of them, you arenât capable of that! So, just find out about your parents. The main person who can guide you in this is your husband, Vansh! Heâs password protected, right? Then he even knows the truth behind your parents. Ask and you shall receive! If not Vansh then go to the place where you were brought up! Thatâs all I can say for now! All the best! I hope you dig out the truth! Byeeeeeee!â
Who can send this? Why? How can Vansh know the truth? Come on Riddhima, when your parents left you in the orphanage, Vansh also was a child! How can he know this? Thereâs definitely someone who wants to create a rift between Vansh and me, I wonât let that happen. Never! I wonât tell Vansh about this chit. Heâll worry, unnecessarily. I walked to the dining area and sat down. Vansh also came back. He seems stressed, maybe office work!
Vanshâs POV:
I came back and sat next to Riddhima. But, how do I tell Riddhima? How does she have the om locket? I canât tell her anything right now. I donât want our relationship to face any more problems, we have come together after so long, facing so many accusations on our relation. But not any more. After having dinner, I walked down the secret room. I closed the door. There were few boxes kept. I opened one of them. In that box there were many things, but what struck me was the other half of that locket. Itâs here, with me, in my house. I canât tell her. I put the locket in my pocket, so that no one gets it. I came back to my room and luckily, she wasnât around. I hid the locket in my cupboard at a place which Riddhima still doesnât know. I was waiting for her and then she entered.
Riddhimaâs POV:
I entered the room still thinking about that letter. When suddenly I felt a pull over a chest. I looked up, it was Vansh!
Vansh: Where are you lost sweetheart?
I canât tell him and make him worry. Iâll have to act normal.
Riddhima: Nowhere! Just thinking about you!
Vansh: Really?
Riddhima: Yes!
Vansh: Then sweetheart, Iâm right in front of you and all yours! *winks*
Ohh God! This person is shamelessly romantic but still he made me blush.
Vansh: Do you carry those red apple cheeks everywhere?
Riddhima: No! They are only when you are around!
Vansh: Better! They shouldnât even be with someone else.
Riddhima: Okay Baby!
Ohh God! What just slipped out?
Vansh: I agree that I am you baby!
Thereâs no way that I can escape. Goshh!!!!!
Riddhima: Okay!
Vansh: But still you blush with Dadi!
Riddhima: Thatâs because I love her.
Vansh: And me?
I love you more than anything.
Riddhima: I donât know!
Vansh: What! Go, Iâll not talk to you!
He showed his fake anger and turned his face. He looks so adorable. How do I prevent myself from falling for him? I made him face me and kissed his cheek.
Riddhima: I love you! And I blush with Dadi when she talks about you.
Vansh: I love you too!
Riddhima: By the way, Are you jealous of Dadi?
Vansh: Alot! You be with her more than me.
Riddhima: Okay, then you can continue your jealousy.
I giggled while he smiled and we hugged.
Next morning,
In the orphanage,
I completed all my work and came to the orphanage. I really want to find out about my parents. I want to know what happened with them. I walked in near the reception.
Voice: Riddhima!
I turned back and saw a lady, she removed her mask. She was the one in charge of the orphanage.
Lady: After long time child, come letâs talk in my cabin.
She and I walked in her cabin and took our seats.
Vanshâs POV:
I came to the orphanage to inform them, not to tell Riddhima anything. I walked in and saw Riddhima sitting with the lady. Ohh God! This girl is quicker than I thought her to be. I planned to hear their conversation.
Lady: What made you come here Riddhima?
Riddhima: I just wanted to know, how did I land in the orphanage?
No beating round the bush, quality of Mrs. Vansh Raisinghania.
Lady: I canât remember clearly but all I can say is, your parents died in a deadly car accident.
Riddhima: Car accident?
Lady: Yes! Luckily, you were saved and brought up here.
Riddhima: Thank you so much!
Lady: Please do come to visit us.
Riddhima: Sure!
I left from there before she could see me. Now what? Iâm sure sheâll go back to spy mode and I canât let her reach the truth. I wonât be able to be separated from her again. I need to do something. But for now, I need to go back home, before she comes.
Riddhimaâs POV:
My parents died in a car accident and all this while I was thinking that they left me at the doorsteps of the orphanage. They were forced to leave me. I need to go home now or else theyâll all worry. I walked off from there and drove to VR mansion.
In VR mansion,
I came back to my room and sat down on the bed. I still donât know what exactly happened to my parents. I want to know about them. Anyways, Whereâs Vansh? I exited my room in search of my husband. I came downstairs. He isnât here. I walked outside and heard some noises in the backyard. When I didnât love Vansh, I went to the backyard with all the guts, why should I fear now? Letâs go! I walked out and saw some albums kept down. A bottle of kerosene was kept beside and he removed a lighter from his pocket. What is he burning? Why? He picked up the bottle of kerosene and was about to pour it down on the albums but he got a call. He answered it.
Vansh: Yes Angre?
He went from there to speak. I walked closer to the albumâs kept and picked one. I was shocked. The album had a picture of Uma Mom and another lady.
Who is that lady? I started turning the pages of the album, one of them had Uma Mom, the lady, Vanshâs Dad and another man. Then there was a picture of a small new born girl in the arms of that unknown couple. Who are these people? Why is Vansh burning the pictures? As I was looking at the pictures, my eyes went on the Om locket, it was in the neck of the lady. Itâs exactly the same locket which I have now. Is sheâŠâŠ. NO! It canât be! If Vansh knew about them then he would have spoken to me but he didnât. Itâs not true. I started turning the pages and saw the strange man wearing a t-shirt written âRiddhimaâ over it while he had the newborn kid in his arms. I canât believe it! He hid such a thing from me. Why? Why did he do it?
Voice: Riddhima!!!
I turned. It was him. He had a shock on his face. Didnât he want me to find about my parents?
Vanshâs POV:
After I came back from speaking to Angre. I saw Riddhima turning the pages of the album. Sheâs crying. Shit! No! I donât want this! I never wanted her to know this! I canât bear her going away from me.
Vansh: Riddhima!!!
She turned. Sheâs crying. Her tears are affecting me. I donât want her to know it but now Iâll have to tell her.
Riddhima: Just one question, why?
I canât tell her. I kept my mouth shut.
Riddhima: Speak up Mr. Vansh Raisinghania! I want to know, why? I would never talk to you!
Vansh: No!
What I feared is happening, she doesnât know the truth and she isnât talking to me, what will happen if she knows it?
Riddhima: Speak now!
Vansh: Okay!
I had to give up.
Riddhima: Vansh!
I walked closer to her and we sat down. I held her hands in mine.
Vansh: Actually, at that timeâŠ..
The past,
Uma and Usha are childhood bestfriends. They were very close and their bond was amazing. No one could break it.
In VR Mansion,
Authorâs POV:
Uma: Ajay(Vanshâs Dad), Usha and Akshat are coming today.
Ajay: Youâve been more excited than me.
Uma: Yaa!! I really want to hold Riddhima again.
Ajay: You just saw her yesterday.
Uma: So what?
Vansh came running to Uma.
Vansh: Mom, What happened? Whoâs coming?
Uma: My childhood bestfriend and a new friend of yours!
Vansh(excited): Iâll get a new friend. I want to see her! Letâs go!
Uma: Sheâs coming to see you, get ready!
Ajay: Luckily, no one else is at home or else you would have asked them also to get ready.
Uma: Shut up and go!
Ajay: Accha going!
Ajay walks away from there.
At 12:00pm,
Uma is restless.
Uma: Where are they? They were supposed to be here by 11:00am.
Ajay: You are stressing too much, thereâs nothing like that. Maybe traffic!
Uma: Maybe!
Vansh came to Uma.
Vansh: Mumma, where is my friend?
Uma: Sheâs on the way baccha!
Vansh: Huh! Sheâs late! Mumma I donât like people coming late. I wonât talk to her.
Uma: Arrey! Vansh sheâs really small and pretty like angel. Once you look at her, you wonât leave her.
Vansh: Will she become my friend?
Uma: Sheâll become your bestfriend!
Vansh: Yayy! Iâll take care of her like you and Usha Aunty take care of each other.
Uma: Sure baccha!
The cops entered the house. Vansh was scared and hid himself behind Uma. Ajay came and stood there besides Uma.
Ajay: Whatâs wrong Inspector?
Inspector: The car number MH02AJ000 had a deadly accident a few minutes back. The car is completely burned along with bodies. The phone by chance had fallen down and the last call made was to âUmaâ, we tracked the number and came here.
Uma was devastated. She broke down on her knees and Vansh couldnât see his Mom in such a state. He hugged her tightly to try to soothe her pain but it was not possible. Her friend, her bestfriend is no more. Why?
Inspector: These are the things which dint burn are in state.
The inspector handed over the locket which had half om to Uma. And she kept it near her heart recalling her friend. Her last token of friendship. Vansh looked at the locket. Uma gathered courage to speak.
Uma: How did the accident occur?
Inspector: We donât think that it was an accident, it was a planned murder, the car brakes were failed intentionally and the petrol tank had leakage.
Ajay: How can you say so? It can be an accident too!
Inspector: We have our team of forensic experts to examine things and then let us know!
Umaâs body was filled with rage. She would never forgive the person who would harm her bestfriend and snatch her life. Whoever tried to separate them will now suffer.
Uma(anger): Inspector, find out who it was! Catch the criminal as soon as possible. Make sure he/she rots.
The inspector nodded and left. Ajay also left from there. Vansh and Uma were alone. Uma had hugged the locket and Vansh had held his motherâs hand. Never had he seen her so miserable. He had never thought that heâll get to see his happy go lucky mom in this state. He hated it. His eyes were on the locket which is Mom is hugging.
Vansh(thinks): Mom loves this locket. Itâs a sign of Momâs friendship with Usha Aunty. Iâll make sure Mom has it.
Just then Vansh realised that he was having tears in his eyes. He couldnât cry in front of his Mom. He wouldnât want her to see him crying when she herself has no stability. He runs from there to his room. He closes the door and hugs the teddy tightly crying.
Vansh(talks to himself): Why friend? Why didnât you come? I wanted to meet you! I wanted to play with you! I wanted to take care of you like Mom takes care of Usha Aunty. I was so excited that you would come into this world. When you were in Auntyâs womb, Mumma used to tell me that you will be a good friend to me. But you are a bad friend. I wonât talk to you. Iâll not talk to you!
Vansh burst out crying and hugged the teddy tighter.
Uma was still in the hall when she heard Ajayâs phone ringing. He wasnât around so she thought of answering it. Before she could speak.
Person: Boss, as you told earlier we failed the brakes of Akshayâs Sirâs car and even the leakage in the petrol tank, we secretly added a few explosives too. Now the whole business is yours!
Uma dropped the phone down. She married a devil. She hates him. Hates him from the core. But she had to take steps calmly. She kept the phone and went to Vanshâs room and sat down besides him. Vansh looked at her and they hugged each other. Uma broke the hug. She gave the locket to Vansh.
Uma: Your friend has the same locket. Even if sheâs not here with you, you can remember her with this. If she would have been here, she would have loved you. This locket is not just a sign of Usha and my friendship but also Yours and Riddhimaâs friendship.
Vansh smilingly nods. Uma leaves. She goes to her and writes everything in her diary and goes to meet Ajay. She faces him.
Ajay: What happened Uma? Are you okay?
Uma: Answer me directly, why?
Ajay: What?
Uma: Why did you plan Akshat and Ushaâs accident?
Ajay: You got to know?
Uma: Speak!
Ajay: I wanted the business wholly for myself.
Uma: You took the life of my bestfriend, her innocent soul, her child. Didnât your conscience mock?
Ajay: You think so? Really?
Uma: I wonât spare!
Ajay: Then die!
Uma: I wonât die until I give my best friend justice! And if I die, Iâll be glad. Living with a man like you is far more worst than death. A cruel soul like you. My friendship is stronger than my love. She was the one who was with me when I needed Everything, not you!
Ajay: Done with lecture then die!
Ajay lifts a gun at Uma but Uma throws a knife at Ajayâs hand, hits a beer bottle on his head and runs out to the police station. When she was running out, she was shot by someone. Uma falls down and looks at the person who shot her.
Uma: Who are you? I donât know you!
Person: Iâm Anupriya! Definitely, you donât know me but I know you! Now you living such a wealthy life, Iâll be jealous, right?
Uma: What? Isnât there humanity left in the world? People arenât afraid of taking lives for wealth. Itâs better I die.
Anupriya: Okay! Bye!
Anupriya shot the other bullet and Uma died.
Anupriya (to herself): Now Iâll only have to play my tricks on Ajay so that he notices me. And then Iâll be Mrs. Anupriya Ajay Raisinghania!
The present,
Vanshâs POV:
I am still holding her hand. Sheâs crying. I canât hold it on!
Vansh: I had asked Dad about it when mistakenly I had read Momâs diary. He agreed to it and the next hour, he got a heart attack. Anupriya and Dad both were unknowingly behind Momâs life. All this time I thought, Mom had left me because she couldnât get over her best friendâs death but the day Dad died, I realised that Mom was murdered. I came to know the whole truth that day.
My hold on her hands tighten and she hugged me.
Vansh: The day you gave your resignation letter to me was the day, I felt the same pain which I felt few years back on hearing your Mom and your death. I am Sorry, I couldnât tell you anything because I was scared to lose you. You were an orphan because of me.
She got back.
Riddhimaâs POV:
I got back from the hug. Tears were rolling down our eyes. He still thinks that heâs at fault.
Riddhima: You arenât responsible for their death. I am not angry on you but just upset that you didnât tell me anything.
Vansh: I am Sorry! I canât lose you!
Riddhima: And you wouldnât lose me.
He picked me up and walked to our room. He put me down on bed and sat besides me.
Riddhima: Whereâs that other part of the locket?
He got up and walked to the cupboard and brought the other part back and sat next to me. I took that locket in my hand.
Riddhima: Vansh turn.
Obediently, he did. I put the locket around his neck. He was surprised.
Riddhima: Itâs the sign of our Motherâs friendship. Weâll always wear it.
He hugged me tightly. I canât be angry at him. Why should I? Itâs his Dad. Vansh suffered. Uma Mom suffered. My Mom was lucky to get a friend like Uma mom. Blessed! And I got a partner like Vansh.
He got back and I slept on his lap, taking my Mom and Dad picture near my heart.
Vanshâs POV:
Now when do I tell her that VR mansion has three meanings?
1) Vansh and Riddhima!
2) Vansh Raisinghania!
3) Vohra Riddhima!
But she looks so beautiful while sleeping. I hope we are always together. I slept thinking about Mom and Usha Aunty. May their soul in peace!
