Vansh don’t want to take any risk so he moved to her luggage and taking it moved to the stairs.
Ridhima: keep my bag in the hall only and I will stay here only.
Vansh: Ridhima what is the problem in living in our bedroom.
Ridhima: what if you again shouted at me.
Vansh came to her who was standing near the dining table. He sat on the chair and made her sit in his lap. Vansh continued “sorry….I was tensed for some office work and went out on you….I promise I will never shout at you.” He explained this very calmly directly looking into her eyes.
Ridhima: if you were tensed then you should have told me…..but you shouted at me for a little thing…..I understand you were tensed. How many times I had asked you “what happen”…..you said my behaviour is your problem….because of me you feel embarrass in front of people (cried)…..am that bad.
Vansh wiped her tears and tightening hugs, kissed her face ” nhi jaan”. Ridhima interrupted and said like a child “you are jaan….I am sweetheart ” vansh chuckled turning his face to another side.
Vansh(very politely): achha baba!!! You are “sweetheart”….now okay(she nodded)….You know how much I love…..I was frustrated and poured my all frustration on you….I know I did wrong and I am sorry!!!! Tumko kabhi kabhi kya hojata….kabhi to bahut achhe se or maturely saari cheeze handle krti or kya kabhi bachho jaise baatein krne lgti ho….
Ridhima like a kid said(crying) ” what do you think….I don’t love you…..I know I am a little bit possessive for you but believe me, I trust you a lot, I am being possessive because I never want to lose you. That is why I behaved like mad….that day….” She pouted after saying this.
Vansh: but…
Ridhima: What you think….ye sb cheeze mai unknowingly krti hu….nhi….nhi krti hu sb knowingly….wo nah bachhpan se problem hai…mai aisi hi hu.
Vansh murmured “bachhpana abhi gaya kaha hai”
Ridhima like innocent kid ” jaan did you said something”
Vansh little frowned and said ” no!!! Not at all.”
Ridhima: okay!!! What I was saying…ha… You don’t love that is why…you said to me leave this mansion permanently….what if I stepped out then (saying this she again started crying)…You want to get rid of me that is why you kept that condition. (hiccupping and crying)
Vansh: nhi!!!! Ridhima you are taking me wrong. I kept that condition because I know you will not leave me…..
Ridhima: so you were taking benefit of my weakness.
Vansh: nhi!!! You are my sweetheart….my baby.
Ridhima: heeeeeiinnnnnnn(started crying) you are again calling me kid.
Vansh held his head in frustration and only one thought coming in his mind ” uthale bhagwan….uthale mujhe”
Vansh said very politely ” Ridhima you must be feeling hungry nah…. let’s have dinner then we will talk…okay sweetheart….you sit here I am coming after changing my clothes” He ran from there quickly.
After some time he returned saw Ridhima who was eating. He came to her and said ” Ridhima where is my food.”
Ridhima: check in the kitchen.
Vansh: D’souza.
Ridhima: unko chhutti dedi maine.
Vansh: okay!!
He goes to kitchen and came back.
vansh: there is no food.
Ridhima: to banalo…..
Vansh: but I don’t know cooking.
Ridhima: you are so mature….how come you don’t know cooking…..
Vansh: Ridhima let me eat with you nah….sweetheart we sorted nah then why are you doing this…..
Ridhima very cutely and with innocent ” are you hungry jaan…..(he nodded) but jaan I am kid nah then it will detoriate you status…..
Vansh: why are you sticking with it….
He thought for a while and said ” oohh sorry!!! I forgot….”
Ridhima: what??
Vansh: that miss Malhotra had asked me for dinner….so I will eat there….achha hua maine yaha nhi khaya.(smirked)
He very well knew her possessiveness and protectiveness for him so he thought to play with her.
Ridhima with little jealously ” but vansh it is late nah…..raat bhi hogayi hai nah. What you will do there…..don’t go there….we should not go anybody’s house at night. “
Vansh: but she only called me…..or ghr me bhi to khana nhi hai….and I am hungry so I should go.
Ridhima forwarded her plate toward vansh and said “you can share with me…..”
Vansh: but what I will tell her….
Ridhima: you can make any excuse….come eat….and if you say I will cook for you.
Vansh: she must be waiting for me….so I should go. By the way Ridhima!!! What should I wear….(thinking) I should wear black as someone told me I look handsome and hot in black.
Ridhima looked at him and her eyes teared ” sorry I forgot….you don’t people like me then why will you eat with me…you like mature people….you like Ahana….her behaviour. Why will you eat with me?…jao?
Taking the plate she moved to the kitchen now how can she eat food. vansh frustratedly ruffled his hair and called her but no reply. He too moved to the kitchen and back hugged her.
Vansh: sorry…I was kidding…..I know how progressive you are….so I was teasing you. Please don’t cry.
Ridhima was crying and said in low voice “leave me!!!”
Vansh: Ridhima…..she neither invited me nor dinner nor I am going to her place.
Ridhima: why are you telling me all this….who I am…..go where you want to go.
Vansh: Ridhima please behave maturely. You know nah how I am then also you doing this drama.
Ridhima: what do you mean….I am doing drama….
Vansh: Drame se kam bhi to nhi hai….Kb tmhe smjhane ki kosis kr rha hu….tmhe kuch smjh me kyu nhi aata hai.
Ridhima: only Ahana can understand you…..ushe hi sb smjh aata hai….I am a fool nah then how can I understand.
Vansh: now from where Ahana came between us…
Ridhima: you brought her between us….not me.
Vansh: you didn’t know that how much I love you?
Ridhima: vansh you are changed….tum mujhe pahale jaise pyaar nhi krte ho….(crying) you are changed after our marriage…
Vansh: Ridhima nothing is like this…I love you…even now I love you more…
Ridhima: liar….liar…..before our marriage you never shouted at me and fought with me….but now look at you.
Vansh(little loud): what I did now….I am saying nah. I was frustrated and poured at you….why are exaggerating the matter. For that one mistake what you wants me to do….
Ridhima(crying): you are again doing the same….shouting at me.
Vansh(frustratedly): because you are making me angry….Tmhra bachhpana khatam hi nhi hota hai…I am fade up of this….tell me what you want and end it here only.
Ridhima: I don’t want anything just stay a from you.
Vansh: okay!!! Do whatever you want to do. Now I am not going to come to you.
Saying this he moved to the bedroom. Ridhima sat crying on the floor. Vansh was pacing in the room. After some time Ridhima came out of the kitchen and laid down on the sofa. She closed her eyes. On the other hand, vansh was lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling…..thinking about the things that happen in these days.
Ridhima: firse gussa hogaya…..khana bhi nhi khaya….he must be hungry. Kya kru!!!! Baat krlu jaake….firstly I should cook something for him.
She goes to the kitchen and prepared ” Paratha” for him. Again laid down in the hall. Ridhima in mind ” why did he didn’t come down till now….is he really angry with me…but why he is showing anger to food. Vansh ajao nah…..” She looked to his door. After a couple of minutes, door opened and she closed her eyes.
He came out and goes to Ridhima, seeing her sleeping he kissed her forehead and moved to the kitchen. Seeing the Paratha a jar, he smiled and started eating. After eating again came to the hall and took her in his arms and moved to the bedroom.
Covering her with the blanket, cuddled her and closed his eyes.
Ridhima (in mind): I know you will come to after the fight and hug me tightly. Cuddle me when I fall asleep, hold me tightly when I will cry. Listen to my all nonsense without showing tantrum…. What is troubling and why you are not telling me. We will deal nah if you tell me……I Love you….see you in the morning.
Hugged him tightly and slept. In the morning when she opened her eyes….. again she was sleeping in the hall. She looked here and there, found him sitting on the dining chair and eating breakfast. She goes to him and asked “who cooked food for you”
Vansh looked here and there then signed her ” are-you-talking-to-me”. Ridhima said, “or koi hai yaha…..”
Vansh: pack up hogaya hmra…..you said nah you wants me to stay away from you.
Ridhima: nhi…..I took a break from our fight and put it on hold.
Vansh pulled her hand and she landed in his lap…Ridhima “what are you doing vansh”. vansh started nuzzling in her neck “our break is going on so I am romancing with my wife”
Ridhima(very innocently): you know jaan yesterday someone kidnapped me…..
Vansh (with worried face): what?? When?
Ridhima: arre when I was sleeping in the hall….someone came and picked me…..took somewhere but when I opened my eyes in the morning then I was in the hall only….how good is that kidnapper.
Vansh smiled looking down understanding the motive behind her talk. She encircled her arms around his neck and said “I want to file a case against that kidnapper.
Vansh: what punishment you want to give to the kidnapper.
Ridhima: I want him to follow my all orders without a word…..for whole life.
Vansh pulled her more close and open mouth kiss on her cheek ” but he is already doing the same….”
Ridhima: so the day after tomorrow I want to take him somewhere and his whole time will be mine.
Vansh: as your wish ma’am…..but what will get him for doing this.
Ridhima: he can take anything that he want.
Vansh: anything….
Ridhima: anything!!!!
Vansh: then who will going to refuse…..abhi kuch mil skta hai.
Ridhima: what??
He eyeing her lips and caressed with the thumb. Ridhima “break over” saying this she tried to get up but he was not leaving her. Ridhima looked at him and he gave him toothy smile ” leave me vansh”
Vansh: from my side break is still going on.
Ridhima: vansh I am hungry….leave me nah.
Vansh (showing thirty-two): then eat me nah (winked)
She smacked his shoulder. Someone ranged the doorbell. Ridhima “someone is at gate.” Vansh in mind ” I swear I will kill angre if he is there.”
Vansh: you sit I am checking.
He opened the gate to his disappointment Ishani is there. Ishani ” good morning vansh bhai”
Vansh with a tight smile “good morning…come in”
Ishani: I hope I didn’t disturb you bhai….
Vansh: not at all…. you here anything important.
Ishani: wo I am going to Bangalore so thought to meet you….and more importantly I want to apologise to Ridhima….because of me Ragini di insulted her and Aryan.
Vansh: it’s ok….leave all this Ridhima is okay. Why are you going away from Aryan when you love him?…
Ishani smiled sadly ” but he don’t love me….he is tolerating me as a classmate….even he don’t like me so I don’t want to disturb him more.”
At the same time, Ridhima come with tea and sat beside vansh. Ishani ” I am sorry Ridhima for that day.”
Ridhima: it’s okay!!! You were not at fault.
Ishani: but….
Ridhima: you call vansh, bhai …so you are younger sister to me….you are here anything important.
Ishani: I am going to Bangalore so I thought to meet you both.
Ridhima: did Aryan know about it…..
Ishani: I don’t want to disturb him when I am nothing to him.
Ridhima: you are doing wrong….if you love him then why giving up so early.
Ishani: I can’t force him when he don’t feel anything for me.
Ridhima: he does but not accepting….
Vansh: like sister like brother.
Ridhima: same goes with you….she is leave like you left me….then we suffered for a month….
Vansh: because of you…
Ridhima: because me….stop lying because of you…you vanished not me…how many times I tried to talk to you….you even didn’t come in front of me.
Vansh: I was following your words….and doing same till now.
Ishani: aawww how cute….bhai you are changed…. otherwise I have never seen you like this.
Vansh: because of this madam….she changed me.
Ridhima: stop lying….you were always like this.
Ishani: No…he hardly talk to anyone and is always busy with office work….now he is speaking a lot .Bye the way bhai, Dadi and anupriya mom still finding a girl for you….you should tell them that you found your soulmate.
Vansh: I will tell them when I go there.
Ishani: okay bye!!!! I should go now.
Ridhima: please talk to him for one last time…
Ishani: I will see.
She goes from there. Ridhima was sitting tensed so vansh asked ” what happen?”
Ridhima: vansh what if your family didn’t accept me.
Vansh: nothing going to happen like this….I don’t know about others but Dadi will surely love you and accept you…and only she matters for me.
Ridhima: but fir bhi….
He goes to her and took her hands in his hand said ” don’t worry everything will be fine…..And I will not leave you for anyone….either they accept you or not, it’s not my headache, did you understand that.” She nodded and hugged him tightly.
