Battle Scars…- RiAnsh Chapter 6 ‘Two sided game’

Hii everyone!! I am very happy as Nia Di commented on my OS!!! 💐 Hope you don’t find it boring and what I want to depict.

“Vansh… there…he is Kabir.” Riddhima was standing in a temple with Vansh telling about Kabir.

“Vansh…please…for God sake please tell him….I wouldn’t have got swear of Bhai I would have did it so earlier. Please Vansh.” She joined her hands with pure innocence. Vansh pushed her hand down.

“It’s temple Riddhima! I can’t talk to him here!” Vansh said holding her hands.

“Vansh please! I don’t want to ruin my dreams…” Riddhima was crying now.

“Don’t cry my love. I love you.” Vansh said wiping her tears.

“But I will if I get married to him. I swear if I wouldn’t have been serving for the country I would have suicided till now.” Riddhima left from there angrily.

“How do I tell you love, it’s not so easy.” Vansh sighed and left from there.

“Is he…humble to you?” Vansh asked on which Riddhima hummed.

They both were sitting on a jeep driven by Vansh.

“Riddhima please your silence is killing me.” Vansh asked her to talk.

“Is there anything left? Vansh…my!..my dreams to be with you! My everything! I can’t believe you were….you..were.. I felt to choke myself from my own hands!” Riddhima burst out crying.

Vansh too had emotions, backing up the tears on the corner of his eyes, he was driving more harshly than before. Riddhima didn’t pay heed to it crying reminiscing those moments which changed her totally.

“Riddhima stop crying now! I think you should have some knowledge in your pea sized brain.” Vansh said angrily.

“So my pea sized brain has decided to move on with Kabir.”

Her words felt like a thunder strike to Vansh. He had nothing left to say. Tears made way but he didn’t let them fall. VR doesn’t want to show his seeker side to anyone. No one. He stopped the Jeep in middle and came back with a water bottle.

“Have it” Vansh said looking at her.

“So you want I take the decision with a calm mind. Right?” Riddhima asked and he nodded in yes.

Riddhima’s POV

I was relaxed. I said to see his reaction. He loves me. He loves me a lot. I drank the water and was admiring him the whole way smiling.
I knew he realised it. He was also smiling.  All of a sudden my phone ringed… uff..who can it be.

It was Kabir. I went totally blank. I didn’t want to but picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

I tried to be formal as Vansh was keenly listening, dumbo I know he is trying to listen.

“Heyy, Riddhima are you fine?”

Damn, what can I do? I have to answer him. What should I say? I am fine? Or…I am not? I am totally stuck in the 2-sided game of my mind only.

“Riddhima? Why is my dear friend silent? Are you fine?”

Ohh…he is on the phone. He still considers me friend, thank God.

“Ye…yes Kabir I am fine.”

I replied hesitantly. Vansh became straight and serious to listen what he is saying.

“Don’t worry, you will be safe here. Is Vansh with you? Siya told me you guys are friends?”

Siya!!! I want to kill this girl. What was the need to tell him ANYTHING! Now what should I do? I looked towards Vansh. He said it’s my choice to tell him or let it be like this. No no. I can’t lie.

“Uhm..no. We just know each other that’s it.”

Vansh was looking at me like he will choke my neck and say me to tell him everything. I should be on my words. I said to move on, let’s see what he does.

“Are you and Siya fine?” I asked shocking Kabir more than Vansh.

“Ye..yeah” he replied

OMG! Kabir was stammering and then he declined the call. Finally… But…am I doing right?

If I and Vansh stay like this, it means I am cheating on Kabir. And if I tell him everything, what if he gets angry? I am sure to get a divorce but what about those 6 month thing coming in between? Oh god. Even I have a reputation.
I very well know that if these things happen people will surely raise finger on me and only me. And I will not let this happen.

I will wait for the correct time…

Should I do unnecessary fight? Uff how will I do that. Come on Riddhima he is your friend! Or Husband?

Aagghhh… I am lost in myself so much…

We reached. Finally, I was so tired. But…it’s not my camp. What the…. I am in the soldiers’ camp? Why? I am not a soldier then….

Ohhh… Vansh is. My absent minded brain. Vansh….maybe.
Oh god I hate myself more than anyone else.

“So you have a whole time if the camp to decide, maybe?” Vansh said breaking my thoughts. Wait what? He wants me to decide alone about our…oh..no..no. it’s about my future only. So I need to decide.

“Riddhima?”
“Yea yeah…”

I stood up to get down from the Jeep, damn this is so high. I jumped down. My feets are feeling like thousands of ants running on it. Damn man. I wish those people’s soul never get peace. Thank God I changed but I still need a hot water bath. The tunnel was so muddy

“It was a borewell.”

Vansh said that. How did he know what am I thinking!!! Oh wait.. I think I said that. Every single person on the camp is staring at me like I am a terrorist. I want to go to my camp…this place is so serious and formal.
My camp has a nice whether. Oh ho Riddhima, ofcourse this camp will have a serious atmosphere. You are at the border not in a hospital where people will keep you happy and all. I was watching all the soldiers looking at me and …. Was that Kabir?
I turned again to see. Yeah he was. He smiled at me and raised his eyebrows. I knew want he meant so I blinked slowly.

His fellow soldier hit him on his elbow of course, to tease him. Aggh.. I moved ahead. And ..

Is it really him. No god. I hate this akdu. When he came to hospital he scolded me like I am his student and he will tell me what to do.
He is experienced, he is older in age, he loves the nation but what about me? Who will save this petite figure from his voice echoes? I looked at Vansh. He was totally formal. At last he was doing his duty. I had no chance to be saved by him at any cost.
I am gone today… What will he ask me? My legs are shaking. He broke the stick which was in his hand.

Did this happen? There was quiteness all over. I could hear the wind blowing. My exaggerated mind was so calm….I missed this place so much….

“Miss Riddhima” OMG he said me miss…I don’t want to interrupt this man please….
I squeezed my eyes tightly but before I could speak ..

“Sorry to interrupt sir, but she is Dr. Riddhima…Sharma.” Vansh spoke a little hesitantly.

‘Sharma’

Damn this Sharma…ohh god no. I am still his so-called wife.

BOOOMM

It was bullet. I have heard this sound many times from the same distance. Our camp is not so far away. So we are used to thess sounds now.In that train they were nearly shooting on my face. But who shoot bullet in the morning.
All of a sudden Vansh lifted me from back as I kicked my legs in the air in embarrassment and he made he me sit beneath the table. I was usual to these sounds. But Vansh’s face was telling something else.

What?

Hope you didn’t find it boring. I wanted to depict Riddhima’s condition right now. The meaning of relationship, of everything. Sorry for boring and late updates!! Do comment your review! 

Tanvi 💫
