Hello everyone!🙏
I’m here with my first story on RiAnsh. Enjoy reading the first chapter.📖
**********
A totally messed up room is shown. The flower vase was shattered into pieces on the floor. Some dresses were scattered all over the room. There are also some greeting cards and old roses on the floor. The light was off in the room. Just a dim bedroom light is beaming near a queen sized bed in the room. Oh, we can see a late 20’s woman laying on the bed in a rather crumpled salwar suit. A few photographs and polaroids were spread on the bed. The woman’s face was pale and she looks tired of crying and crying for so long. There was sindoor on her foreline and mangalsutra hanging around her neck. She is revealed to be Ridhima. She takes a photograph in her hand and looks at it. It’s a photograph of RiAnsh in wedding attire. Vansh was planting a kiss on her forehead and they both looked so happy in that photograph. Ridhima gave a sad chuckle looking at the photograph. She slowly drifted into her memory lane.
FLASHBACK STARTS
A wedding venue is shown. The venue was decorated grandly which makes the guests and also their own family members to be flabbergasted by the way of each and every single arrangement. After all, it was all done by the bride and groom themselves, none than Ridhima and Vansh. The guests were praising RiAnsh for their talent and their members were more than happy. The pandith who was chanting some mantras while doing some pujas. After finishing it he claps his hand to dust off and looks at the spectators.
“Please call the groom and bride now!” -The Pandith.
Anupriya nods at him and asks Kabir and Ahana to bring them down. They nods at her while smiling and rushes to the upstairs. After sometime Ahaana brings Ridhima from the right of the stairs while Kabir brings Vansh from the left of the stairs. RiAnsh looks at each other. They both falls in a deep lovely eyelock. They takes steps towards each other without breaking their eyelock at all. The more they take steps, the more they became closer to each other. 3 years of dating each other had driven them crazily in love and now finally they are going to be tied by a knot called ‘marriage’ for forever. Without their knowledge, they are extremely close to each other and their eyelock isn’t broken till now. The others goes aww seeing the couple’s love. AhaKa fakes a coughs to bring them back to the world and they succeeded in it. RiAnsh gets an inch apart from each other looking here and there. They are really embarrassed but at the same time their cheeks turns red. Vansh rubs his neck while Ridhima just smiles trying to hide her blush.
“Vansh.. Ridhima beta.. Aao.. Pandith ji, bularaye hai!” -Anupriya.
Anupriya calls them with a smile playing on her lips. RiAnsh looks at her and turns to each other. Vansh forwards his hand to Ridhima. She looks at him and puts her hand on his. Vansh smiles at it and slowly brings up to his lips. He kisses her hand softly showing his affection on her.
“Chale?” -Vansh.
Ridhima nods at him. They climbs down the stairs hand in hand getting each and every person’s attention. The photographer keeps on clicking each and every moment of them. Both their family is admiring their children’s love on each other. RiAnsh came down and walks towards the mandap. They did namaskar to everyone and sits down before the agni. Pandith again starts to chant mantras while doing puja. All the while, Vansh keeps looking at Ridhima without blinking his eyes. Ridhima knows it and blushes hard under his gaze. She slowly leans to him.
“Vansh, you have all the years to stare at me. Please stop for sometime and focus on this puja.” -Ridhima.
“How can I not stare at you when you are so beautiful in this maroon lehenga?! Come on! Let me stare at you and I have all the rights!” -Vansh
Ridhima rolls her eyes at him while he winks back at her. Pandith gets their attention. He asks them to go around the agni 7 times. After that, they both again settled down on the mandap. Pandith forwards the nuptial chain to Vansh. He takes it in his hands and turns towards Ridhima. Ridhima also looks at him. Once again, this couple falls into a lovely eyelock. Vansh leans a bit to Ridhima and ties the mangalsutra around her neck. Then, Pandith forwards the sindoor box. Vansh takes a pinch and puts on her foreline. Some falls on her nose.
“Dekha.. some sindoor had fallen on the bride’s nose. That means the groom loves the bride eternally!” -An Aunt.
RiAnsh heard it. They looks at each other passionately.
“You know that I love you more than my life, right?” -Vansh.
“Trust me, I do the same too!” -Ridhima.
Vansh was overwhelmed by her reply. He leans a bit more closer to her and kisses her forehead. This was captured by the photographer.
FLASHBACK ENDS
RiAnsh came out of her memory lane. Tears started to form in her eyes. She keeps looking at Vansh in that photograph.
“Was it all a lie, Vansh? If you love me more than your life than why you refused to trust me? Why?????” -Ridhima.
She shouts crying out loud.
**********
Downstairs her family were sitting rather being tensed. They heard the things getting broken in Ridhima’s room, her shouts, her cries and all. Neil, Ridhima’s big brother gets more worried after listening to her shout just now. He gets up from his seat.
“I think we should check on her!” -Neil.
“I agree with you!” -Avni.
Avni, Neil’s wife agrees to him and they turns to go to Ridhima’s room but they were stopped by their mother Janki.
“We should just give her sometime!” -Janki.
Neil was about to reply but he was stopped by a glass breaking sound. He gets confused by the sound. Avni places her hand on his shoulder and he turns to her.
“It.. it is from her room!” -Avni.
Avni refers to Ridhima’s room. All of them get more worried and without wasting a minute more they all rushed to Ridhima’s room. Neil burst open the door and all gets inside. The room were so dark without light. Avni switches on the light and they finds Ridhima sitting on the bed a with a broken glass which has sharp ends.
“RIDHIMAAAAAA!” -Janki.
She shouts looking at the blood oozing out from Ridhima’s left hand’s vein. Ridhima smiled sadly looking at the blood pool on her. She is not experiencing the pain because it is so small for her comparing to the pain given by her soulmate, Vansh. Her visions gets blurred and she couldn’t process anything. The others come near her and starts to scold for her stupidity, Neil calls for doctor and Avni rushes to get the first aid kit. She is going to pass out anytime due to the heavy blood lost.
“Trust.. m.. me, Vansh!” -Ridhima.
The last thing she said before passing out completely.
**********
Another room is shown where a man is seen sitting keeping his head between his knees on the bed. He lifts his head up when his phone vibrated. He is revealed to be Vansh. He looks at his phone and it was a message from his office. He just ignored and snoozed the message. Then, he saw his lock screen. It’s Ridhima’s picture, she making a cute crazy face during their honeymoon.
“Arghhhh!!! Why? Why did you do this to me, Ridhima? How could you break my trust? How could you do this to me?” -Vansh.
He cries while gripping the phone and also the bedsheet. Then, suddenly he feels restless. Something told him that someone close to him is in danger. He just holds his heart (left chest). Someone close to his heart is suffering. That person needs him badly. He doesn’t know who is it and why he feels like that suddenly. He feels exactly the same once when Ridhima was kidnapped a year back. Something strikes him. He widens his eyes.
“Ridhima..” -Vansh.
Screen freezes on his terrified face.
