Now Ridhima started her company and waiting for the person who is appointed by Angre as her Secretary…..Door opened, with looking person Ridhima asked him to come in while was doing something in laptop….Person came and Ridhima looked at him…she was frozen for a moment and things started roaming and a hot tear escaped from her eye, looking at person…..she stood up from her chair and moved to him.
Flashback
Vansh: yes Ridhima, I don’t need any clarification and justification…..by living with you I came to know all the things about you…how lovely and good person you are….
Ridhima was crying in his arms like nothing is left. Vansh” Ridhima give me a chance to repent things and cancel out my wrongdoing with you…give me chance where I love you and fill your life with happiness the way you want…
Ridhima looked at him while wiped her tears. Ridhima said “vansh but I can never love you back….mai tumse kabhi pyaar nhi kr paungi. You disappeared all the love from my heart and even I can get it back for you…I don’t hate you but although I can’t love you. Since birth, I never got any kind of love, not sisterly love, not daughter wala and not lover wala…..I had something in my heart which to use call love now that you vanished”
For the first time, she was talking to him directly looking into his eyes and without breaking the words.
Vansh held her hand and smiled a little bit ” Ridhima you are taking me wrong, I am not saying you love me….I am asking for a chance I give love, respect to you. I know my action affected you harshly so I am not expecting anything from you. I just don’t want to you go away from me…I will do anything for that……I will give all the love for that you craved since your birth, in return you have to just stay with me….”
Ridhima like a child: you will give me all the love…..yes I want to know is living with a person is known as love, or respecting a person is known as love, or physically satisfying is known as love, yes I want to know it feels when someone truly loves you.
Vansh: you will feel Ridhima. I know I can’t make you trust me by words but I will do all the things that can bring happiness in your life even I get hurt in return…I will happily accept but I will bring word’s all the happiness in your life.
Ridhima: vansh what made you change your perception about me….
Vansh: because I don’t want to lose you at any cost…..now sleep it’s late.
Both laid down to their respective side…and tossing but sleep was far. When he turned he saw Ridhima was looking at him then he spread his arm and Ridhima happily moved in his arms, keeping her head on his chest as their pressed with each other they felt something but understand these feeling was not the cup of their tea…they never got love in there live so there unknown to all these feelings…..
In the morning vansh brought Ridhima downstairs in his arms, made breakfast for and fed her with his hands…she silently let him do what he want to do either it is helping her in getting ready or feeding.
He made ready for the press conference as he won the award and they are coming for taking his interview….
All are sited and asking questions to vansh he was reply to them…but Ridhima was not feeling good…her head was aching and she was feeling little dizzy….she fell from her chair and everyone stood up…vansh took her in arm and patted her cheek and called ” Ridhima…Ridhima”. Someone sprinkled water on her face she opened her eyes and jerked vansh…..
Vansh: what happened…
Vansh came to her but in she slapped him and said ” stay away from me…..you made my life hell Vansh Raisinghania….” All looked at vansh.
Reportirs : what are you saying ma’am
Ridhima: He…(pointed to vansh) He is doing domestic violence on me…..
Reporters: what?? (Looked at vansh and forwarded mike to vansh) “kya aap pr lagaye gaye arop sach…..kya aap apni biwi ko marte peetate hai…boliya vansh Riasinghania….kya apki patni sach bol rhi hai….bataye kya each h sir aap chup kyu hai….”
Ridhima: what he will say. He is not allowing me to go out and talk to people….
Vansh closed his eyes and tears falls from his eyes….He asked her for a chance and what she did….he said nah he will try to mend things but looking like things will now going to be worst between them…..vansh ” s…so…sorry Ridhimaaaa” he said with heavy voice….Ridhima started laughing and will your this useless word will heal my all wounds that you gave me everyday….”haahaaa….haaha..” Life is not what you think…life is what you have…”
Reporters: sir aap itane bade businessman hai…itna ganda behaviour wife k sath aap kaise kr skte hai….kya aap dono k beech pati-patni rista nhi hai…”
Ridhima: RISTA…(huffed) he even don’t consider me his wife then why will he give give of his wife….
Vansh: please stop Ridhima….i know I was a jerk but I promised to you mend things…
Ragini smiled seeing all the drama, why not her plain is working because she knew how vansh made his name she ruined in just an half an hour…now one can save her from vansh’s wrath, his anger is nobody’s hidden.
Ragini in mind ” because of name only you accepted her as your wife baby….what will you do why you don’t have that pride…you rejected me because of her….how can you thought I will allow you both to live happily…thanks to my mind that I new about her attacks…poor girl now no one will going to save her from his dear hubby. Chalo kuch fayada hua iska mere ghr pr rhne ka wrna”
Today he won prize and today only his name ,his pride decayed for which he lived in London for many years and even not came back when his friend died for whom he was taking revenge…..he lost everything today that he had in his life.
Ridhima held her head and started shouting in pain soon she fainted….vansh took her in his arms and bright her in his room. He called the doctor and he checked….Informed vansh that ” it was because of stress and pressure….or she ate something that triggered all this on her mind…wait for morning she will woke and then only we can say how is her health..” Vansh thanked doctor and sat beside Ridhima holding his hand….(note: Ragini mixed drug in Ridhima’s food so she acted as insan )
Everywhere news spread like air that vansh Raisinghania is doing domestic violence on his wife…he use to beat her and lock her in room….Dealers cancelled all his deals with him and he suffered with huge loss. No one is ready to do business with him as their name can also defamed if they will keep associations with him.
In morning, Ridhima opened her eyes and looked all around then Jerked vansh hand which hitted with side table. Vansh also opened his eyes due to pain and looked at Ridhima….
Vansh: how are you feeling…
Ridhima looked at him strangely and asked ” who are and where I am…”
Vansh: Ridhima me…vansh your husband.
Ridhima ” stop this uncle I am still a kid, how I marry you.” Said with childish tone.
Vansh with surprise “what?? Uncle….”
Ridhima with innocent face ” look at your oldy face…and your beared is scaring me.” hid her face with her hands….
Ragini came to their room so that she can enjoy the scene live…As she came in, Ridhima looked at him for while then tried to get up hissed in pain ( if you remember that she is having pain due to periods and all that happened in next day only) vansh careful holded her and said ” sit…you can’t walk..”
Ridhima looked at him annoyingly and said ” Ragini Di….how come you became so big…” Ragini gave expressionless expressions( wo jo hote hai nah ku*to wale expression with sign ” kya” that I call expressionless expression)
Ridhima: see this oldy is saying he is my husband. How can I marry a uncle when I am chhota sa bachha”
Ragini in mind ” earlier she was only irritating now she became unbearable. I can’t tolerate this mad…”
Ragini : yes he is your husband is saying truth.
Ridhima: but how can I
Ragini shouted ” Ridhima”
Vansh shouted : Ragini
Ridhima shivered while watching this drama…Ragini left the room in anger while Ridhima’s eyes teared. Vansh took her hand in his and said ” what happened Ridhima” can’t and with affection. On which Ridhima added in no and kept looking down. As she closed her eyes tears fell from her eyes. Vansh held her chin then wiped tears.
Vansh: what happened? Don’t carry.
Ridhima: why she shouted I had just asked.
Vansh: she is fool, leave her and never mind her talks….
Ridhima: she always use to scold me. I never denied any work that she assigned me still she never talk to me sweetly.
She cried and vansh hugged her tightly. Vansh ” don’t worry your husband is with you nah…now no will scold you…”
Ridhima: I still doubt how can I marry you….
Vansh broke the hug and kissed her forehead. Now get ready and then we will do our breakfast….H e took her to the bathroom, giving the brush to her and he went out. Soon he came with female servant asked her to help her in bathing as her period going on, she must face diculty in padding and all….
After have breakfast he asked “chocolate khani hai…”
Ridhima: give me.
Vansh: for that you have to go out with me.
Ridhima: why?? Give here only
Vansh: then forget about chocolate…
Ridhima made an annoyed face and angerly looked at him. Vansh “chalogi where I will say” she nodded in no. Vansh “I also thought to give you ice cream too”
Ridhima: now you are forcing me too much so I will go with you otherwise not.
Vansh took her to the doctor. Doctor asked Ridhima some question and enquired of things. Doctor ” Mr Raisinghania your wife became 10 years old child and forgot all the things, more we will come to know after her reports…..They came back home.
Vansh was on files how can he get deals that he lost yesterday. Ridhima was sitting on the bed and looking here and there. Ridhima ” vansh (he looked at her and raised his eyebrow) I am getting bored.” Vansh kept file on the table and moved to the bed, sat in front of her by crossing his legs. Ridhima ” talk to me…” She kept head in his lap and laid down keeping her legs on the bedpost.
They started talking about like and dislike while vansh was caressing her hair lovingly. She started feeling sleepy ” Ridhima don’t sleep now first eat something otherwise you will feel hunger at mid of night. It’s all ready 7 if not food then drink milk.
Ridhima started throwing her arms and legs ” nhi….nhi….hhhhhhhmm….i am feeling sleepy…” In this process she hurt him on mouth and stomach. He hugged her tightly and said “okay…okay sleep”. Keeping her on the bed and covering with blanket he again engrossed in work and then slept.
In mid night about 2 O’clock Ridhima opened her eyes as she was feeling hungry. She shaked vansh and lazily he opened his eyes. Ridhima ” give me something as I am feeling hungry.” He looked at her face for a while which she cutely pouted, then he take off from the bed and moved out….lights we’re closed in the room so she scared and shouting ” I am coming too” she ran from the room behind him…he was walking , she ran and jumped on his back, due to distance he fell as she is child from mind not from body. His head and knees hurt due to ground and his back was hurt because of ridhima’s knees which drilled in his back. He hissed in pain and turned and looked at ridhima who was standing scared with head down.
He stood up taking the support of the near by wall, ridhima came forward to support him but he showed her his palm and she stopped in her way. Ridhima with low voice ” sorry”
Vansh “it’s ok. What happened why you ran from there? “
Ridhima: I was scared as lights were off…
Vansh: come I will switch on the lights.
They went to room. Vansh ” sit and watch cartoon. I will back soon” she nodded and started watching cartoon. Vansh came back with two plats and milk on a tray” he gave her Maggie which didn’t contain pea. She quickly started eating and soon she fined and looked at vansh who hardly ate 6-7 spoons.
Vansh ” or chahiye” on which she nodded and he removed pea from his Maggie and gave her. She started eating. He asked is she want to drink milk too on which she denied and he drank milk, then both laid down.
Vansh was tired so he started going in sleep but Ridhima waked him as she was not feeling sleepy and asked him to tell story. He started telling the story in half sleep.
____________________________________________
Vansh was working when Ridhima came to the room and sat on bed with tears. Vansh looked her and seeing her tears he ran to her, cupped her face “what happened Ridhima Tell me is Ragini said something “on which she waved her head left and right ” then”
Ridhima with crying voice ” I went out to play. There some children were playing and I asked very polity that can be friends and can you all allow me to play. Then then (sobbing) they started laughing and said they don’t play with aunts and I should go home and do household work as my age is for playing with them….they were laughing making fun of me. I said I am to kid like them then started laughing and one girl came said look at her dressing sense and mine I dressed up like aunt because I am oldy.”
Vansh wiped her tears and said ” they are fool and don’t deserve your friends…play with me. I am here for you then why you went to those mad people.”
Ridhima said in crying voice ” vansh I want more friends with whom I will play when you will be busy with your work.”
Vansh: Ridhima I always have time for you. You just order me and about clothes, you look beautiful in these clothes so they were jealous because they are good looking like you…if you still want to change your dress up then we will go to market and buy new clothes. Now smile like good girl.
Days were passing like this. Vansh use to give more time to her and see her tantrums.vansh was making her pony and when she saw in the mirror what he made of her hairs she shouted ” you don’t know how to make pony…if you will not good pony then I will make yours then you have to roam in whole Mumbai with the same look. He was scared and started making her pony again.
One day vansh was just doing his work in library when Ridhima came and sat in his lab, started playing with his beard although he removed them once because she asked but they grown again. Ridhima ” vansh I want to become boxer…” Vansh looked at her with horrified expression as nowadays she use to watch movies then she want to be became main lead of the movie and practice things on vansh whole day and night till she didn’t find another role…he was scared now he had to eat her punch day and night till she going to find other role for herself.
Vansh: sweetheart, you already have many talent like singing, dancing, painting, and teacher…now what the need of this talent if you are going to get all the talent then what other people will do.
Ridhima: no! I want to become independent. Let’s practice for a boxing match.
Vansh: noooooooo! I will appoint teacher for that. You go do other work when your coach will come then practice with her.
Ridhima thought for a while then said ” okay!! I have to do other work….” She went from there, give a kiss on his cheek. He touched his cheek and smiled dreamily, then engrossed in his work.
When vansh went to his room, it was decorated not beautifully but with toys and other things, anyone can guess it is done by a child only. Vansh called Ridhima. She came out from the bathroom and his breath got hitched looking her so beautifully dressed up. He dreamily moved to Ridhima and kept looking at her without a word. Ridhima gave him a shy expression as she saw in the movie and asked ” how I am looking”
Vansh blindly ” drop dead gorgeous babe” she again gave shy expression. She went to him and looking into his eyes she moved to his lip and he but as their lips met, reality hit the vansh and he pushed Ridhima. She little stumbled and looked at him with confusing expression..
Vansh: what is this Ridhima and why are you dressed up.
Ridhima came to him and started playing with his shirt button. Ridhima ” wo when break came in boxing movie so I changed the channel…and saw movie in which two people doing this and then turned to be husband -wife like us… I felt something in my stomach while watch the seen, a urge of doing this took birth in me. We are also husband and wife, they said it makes couple complete.”
Vansh: I told you to watch cartoon only why are you not stopping watching movies…they polluting your mind. Don’t do this again that wife must be grown but your my kiddo wife….you only say that you are chhota as bachha.
Ridhima: but I am your wife nah…then why. We can do vansh, I like that, I felt butterfly in my stomach while watch and want to do….they said it’s love for each other…you don’t love me that is why you are denying for this.
Vansh: no Ridhima I love you. You are my baby nah..then why things like oldy.
Ridhima looked at him and said ” I know you also think me that I am mentally unstable, and want to get rid of me….I know everyone says that you are tolerating…that is why are avoiding these things.”
She was crying…
Vansh went her and wiped her tears. Vansh ” No! I want to keep you for eternity. Don’t cry I don’t like tears in your eyes” saying he kissed his cheeks…
Ridhima with hiccups ” I don’t want to bachho wala kissi…..I want that movie wala…..you have not seen that movie…let me show you then do the same ”
Vansh hit his head with hand and said ” no need to show anything I know….”
Ridhima gave him angry look and said ” then you never did…how bad you are….oldy” vansh smiled at her and pulled her to himself by waist then nuzzled on her neck. Ridhima giggle feeling ticklish and said ” vansh make me complete…and love me ” again environment turned serious.
Vansh: Ridhima your yet not ready for all this…if you want to play any game then tell.
Ridhima (teary eyes): vansh I don’t want any game. I saw how wives look after his husbands….I want to complete our relation….You know Ragini Di was saying that you will leave me because I am not behaving as your wife….and she said you have…you have some dire……no fire….no defire….I don’t know what she said but said something….althought I didn’t understood what she said and for what it stands….but I know I am not like other wives and children too…
Vansh cupped her face and said ” you are special and unique, Ridhima so there is no comparison between you and them…they all are insane and not up to your level…leave them”
Ridhima: if I am that special then why don’t you love me…
Vansh: I do Ridhima…but by doing all this love is not proved, have I have denied your demand (she nodded in no), have I ever not given time to you ( she nodded in no ) have I ever scolded you ( she gain nodded in no) then all these things called love.
Ridhima: then why did they said that all this is love…i am kid that is why you are making me fool. TV always showed things that are real….you are lying because you don’t want to go in that…
Tears were falling from her eyes and she went to bed and throwing all the toys that she decorated on the bed laid down.
Vansh went to her and called but she acted like sleeping…vansh too laid down and tried to take her in his arms but she jerk and said to stay away…when he didn’t do so in anger she slapped him…..and when to sofa for sleeping.
