No more waste of time…… here we gooooooooooooooooooo
Vansh entered the room to find room empty and the bed was messy as if someone stamped or jumped on it. Vansh smiled and gave voice for her
Vansh: Sweetheart look am back and I know you are here playing some pranks on me. And what’s this! Who’ll jump on bed? Look at its state as if it lost its virginity forcibly (laugh).
Vansh: Riddhima where are you? Vaise you aren’t in room so you are either in washroom or closet. So, fine then I’ll search you myself. Remember one thing if I find you then you are going to get some naughty punishment tonight!!! (smirk) Sweetheart get ready am going to find you!!
He went to closet but didn’t find her there so was proceeding towards washroom
Vansh (smirk): Sweetheart if you are in washroom then I can help you!! Shall I help you!!! Arrey you aren’t answering! Fine am entering and don’t blame me.
He opened the door to find no one there. He searched study too but didn’t find her and then he started panicking and started searching her everywhere taking her name but didn’t get any response. He searched whole house, backyard, pool area etc but no trace of her. He felt as if she vanished in thin air. He could see himself losing his balance. He calls her and finds her phone ringing from his room. That’s when he gets a notification on his phone and expecting it to be from Riddhima, he opened it to find a video clip from an unknown number and as soon as he opens it he feels like the earth swallowed him, he feels as if his world crashed, he feels as if his worst nightmare made its way and turned into reality. His pain, his anger, his agony popped out of his body from his eyes and …. And he shouts on top of his voice to display his anger and pain. The mansion shook with his voice and everyone rushed towards his room to find him on his knees collapsed on the ground crying and shouting Riddhima’s name. All were afraid of his anger. Angre rushed to him to give support to Vansh!
Dadi: Vansh, beta what happened?
Ishani: Bhai you are scaring us! Why are you in this state?
Angre (understanding something): Boss!!! Where is Riddhima Bhabhi?
Siya: Ha Bhai where is bhabhi?
Vansh (shout on top of his voice): RIDDHIMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Unknown Place)
Riddhima is on a bed with her hands and legs tied and she is struggling to get rid of herself. Her eyes were swollen due to constant crying, her lips were bleeding as if someone hit her hard, her cheek were red due to constant slapping, her legs and hands had some marks. Her heart was broke, she felt weak, but she knows she had to fight along for her Vansh who by now would be searching for her. Breaking her thoughts, a person with something in his hand walked past Riddhima with a smirk on his face while Riddhima showed pure hatred for him and gave a disgusting look. The person sat near her legs and caressing her feet sensually he was irking Riddhima and she was trying hard to get rid of his filthy touch but in vain as he wasn’t letting it happen and placed his head on her lap and was caressing her legs with lust.
(Few hours back)
Riddhima was making sure she’s perfect and that’s when she saw the door for their room opening and assuming it to be Vansh she stood facing her back towards him and closed her eyes to experience his presence. She heard footsteps approaching her and this increased the pace of her heart rate. After a few seconds, she could feel some breaths on her hair strands and then a hand approaches her waist and was trying to encircle her in his arms when she suddenly opens her eyes to find ………
….. find Kabir staring at her sensually!!! Riddhima pushed him with hatred and anger
Riddhima (anger): How dare you, Kabir! What was this behavior! Have you lost your senses? How dare you enter my room without my permission and then chiii!!! You dared touch me!! You dared to touch Vansh’s Riddhima and now this look on your face chiii!!! Kabir just leave before Vansh comes! Varna you’ll never be able to face yourself in the mirror! JUST LEAVE!!!!!
Kabir wasn’t paying heed to her words but was mesmerized by her beauty that he was approaching her with sensual feelings and a smirk that was freaking her. He was about to place his hand on her face when she pushed his hand in hatred and gave him a fierce look with a fire burning in her.
Kabir (evilness): Ufff!!!! This fire in you drags me towards you. I want this fierce Riddhima. Riddhima you are mine. You belong to me and am only yours. Now come let’s go away from this selfish world that doesn’t care for us.
He was about to hold her hand but his evilness was freaking her and pushed him aside and was running when he caught her by her neck and pulled behind hurting her and seeing her in pain, he was worried and went towards her, seeing his madness she gestured her handto stop and tried to stand and again tried to run but in vain he held her wrist and was pulling her along. She bite his hand and when he left her hand in reflex, she started running along the room to escape, Kabir didn’t leave her along and was behind her trying to convince her to accompany him and she was afraid and was hitting him with whatever she could trying to escape but he missed all her hits and with much evilness in his eyes, he was approaching her. She tried shouting but seemed like her cries were unheard and he gave another evil smirk
Kabir: What do you think Riddhima that I’ll give you chance to escape? That I’ll let you shout and wait for someone to come and save you? Na Riddhima Na!!! I made my arrangements so that none can try to separate us again. You know what I did (smirk) Just listen carefully …. I actually arranged loud music in the living area and everyone is either enjoying it or closing their ears so none would disturb us. Now don’t waste time Riddhima, we need to go away from here before that devil Vansh comes back. Come let’s go!!!
Riddhima was shocked to see the evilness in his eyes and she was afraid what he was up to and was constantly praying to Bappa for sending Vansh asap. But maybe even fate wasn’t with her none came for her help and he was obsessed that what if someone would come so he dragged her in a go hurting her and seeing the grip on her hand he was afraid
Kabir: Riddhima am sorry but it might hurt you now but after moving away from here, I’ll apply medicine to your wounds. But now I need to drag you.
Saying he held her and taking her on his shoulders and ran from the back door plastering her mouth so that she doesn’t shout. He kidnapped her and took her out of the mansion to some unknown place but what he wasn’t aware was that someone was following him. By the time he reached the place there was another person witnessing his doings. Riddhima was unconscious and he laid her on the chair and went to fetch something for her. After a while when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a secluded place and she freaked. She tried running and finding a way out she was about to run but a force pulled her back and she fell on ground and turned around to see that it was Kabir. He once again dragged her onto her chair and leaned towards her with smirk freaking her
Kabir: Riddhima don’t worry I won’t hurt you. I need you. You are my love and my everything. Now none can reach us and we are together here and I wont let anyone reach here to separate us. Am here to protect you. Trust me I’ll take care of you and love you like even Vansh might have not done.
Riddhima was crying hard and seeing her tears he was worried and approached her to wipe her tears but she giving a disgusting look to him and brushed his hand and gave a fierce look
Riddhima (anger): Dare you Kabir! Dare you touch me. Am Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania and mark my words, Vansh isn’t going to leave you. He’ll search and kill you.
Kabir: Hahaha Riddhima do you really think someone will separate us! I’ll not let anyone come near us. We are away from everyone and none would disturb us. Lets make it our night. Lets make it memorable. Lets make it ours. Let’s forget the world and become one. Lets forget everyone and just concentrate on us. You know I have made all arrangements for our meet. Today our bodies will turn into one. Am so eager for that moment.
Riddhima’s eyes widened in shock and she felt herself losing to the fate. But deep down she knows that she has to strive to save herself from him as she had to live for her Vansh and she had trust that her Vansh would come to save her and will never let anything happen to her. She saw Kabir approaching her and she kicked him on his knee making him fall but he held her leg and pulled her down and struggling for a while, he tied her to the chair while she kept screaming but her screams were left unanswered. After tying her, he grabbed the opportunity and seeing her struggle monster in him woke up. He leaned towards her and this move of his freaked Riddhima and her eyes widened in shock and she started shouting for help but no response. He was sensually moving his fingers on her face and she was trying hard to get rid of his glare on her. She started moving her face and body vigorously shouting for help. But her tears and shouts didn’t stop the monster in him. He started drawing circles on her face and she was crying. He slowly started rubbing her lips with thumb and approached her ear and huskily spoke
Kabir: Riddhima ready for the roller coaster ride? Ready to be my wife? Ready to be Mrs. Riddhima Kabir Rai Singhania? I’ll give you more happiness that he ever did!! Just look into my eyes when we make love.
Riddhima (disgust look): Don’t you dare Kabir! My Vansh will never let you go if you dare touch me. I am, I was and I will be only Mrs. Vansh Rai Singhania. And if you forgot let me remind you am your brother’s wife, your bhabhi. Respect the relation. You’ll suffer Kabir!!!
Kabir slapped her hard that she fell on ground along with chair. He dragged her back holding her hair and gave another slap making her bleed from her lips. He gave a fierce look to her
Kabir: Riddhima don’t make me lose my cool. I love you and so make sure you don’t make me aggressive. I don’t want to hurt you. I want to have you and I’ll get it at any cost if you agree or not. But no more delay, I’ll be starting slowly and then you’ll moan the same way you’d be doing if it was Vansh (smirk)
Riddhima was crying and was shivering of fear thinking of worse but then seems like fate was testing her patience, strength and courage to fight against every filthy mind but her strength her Vansh wasn’t there to give her the courage. She was reminiscing the moments she spent with her Vansh, his care, his love, his affection everything started flashing in front of her. She was praying to send Vansh before she could lose her strength but seemed like she was late, he hugged her forcefully and was snuggling her neck and was inhaling her fragrance. She used all her strength to get rid of his filthy touch and using her shoulders she hit him hard and he fell down. It raged anger in him and the way she was shouting pissed him and taking a hanky from his pocket, he tied it on her mouth to avoid her from shouting. He then started nuzzling her nape and was kissing her and she was trying hard to get rid of him but in vain.
But there were 2 persons who were seeing the visual with utter shock as they never imagined him to stoop low and they were unaware that the other wanted to save her at any cost. The other person proceeded but then their eyes fell on the other anger filled eyes which were proceeding towards them, so the person hid themselves and was waiting to see what would happen. Kabir started leaving his marks on her shoulders and neck when suddenly he felt someone kick him and he fell on ground and he along with Riddhima stared in that direction to find 2 fierce eyes and they were shocked to find that person doing something which was least expected from them. That person was Aryan. Riddhima didn’t understand what was happening!! She was crying and seeing her condition Aryan started untying her and she was glad but seems like her fate didn’t pity her condition. Kabir with rage dragged Aryan away from her while her hands were almost untied, she tried to untie her legs and got rid of the hanky which he tied to her mouth.
Kabir was thrashing Aryan when Riddhima approached him and was shielding Aryan from Kabir but to her surprise, Aryan held her gently and taking her behind him as shielding her, he stood against Kabir shocking both Kabir and Riddhima
Kabir (rage): How dare you Aryan! How dare you touch my Riddhima! She’s mine and now we are going to be one in all means.
Aryan (shouting): She’s my bhabhi, my Vansh bhai’s wife Mrs. Vansh Rai Singhania. So, beware Kabir! Now am standing against all obstacles which would come in her life. She’s my sister now! And a brother would shield her from a trash like you.
Riddhima felt touched and was happy to hear him calling her bhabhi and sister. She felt in all this chaos she found a relation. Kabir was puzzled and angry too
Kabir: Wah! Suddenly you realised you have a relation with her? If you forgot let me remind you that you always tried to kill her and if am not wrong even you wanted her right!
Aryan: I hated her and wanted her to die or suffer but this is worse than that and I won’t let that happen with her not until am here to shield my sister. Am warning you Kabir, step back now!!!!
Kabir in fit of rage, punched him on his face, and the blow was such, he fell on ground with thud. Riddhima couldn’t believe that he’s shielding her in spite of being hurt. Riddhima tried stopping Kabir from bashing Aryan but he didn’t pay heed. She bent down to Aryan and tried to revive him. He opened his eyes and for the first time he said something which was like a request which he never does
Aryan: Bhabhi you leave! Please run away. Vansh bhai would come searching you. You need to run before Kabir will catch you.
Riddhima (crying): No Aryan am not leaving you! Not in any case
Aryan: Bhabhi this isn’t the time for all that. Now my priority is your safety and please its my request please leave.
Riddhima was adamant but after persistence of Aryan she decided to leave and reached the exit when Kabir reached on time and once again dragged her towards the chair while Aryan lay with blood and asked Kabir to leave her but in vain. She was shouting Aryan and Vansh’s name but Aryan wasn’t able to help her but was trying hard. Kabir dragged her and once again tied her hands and legs to the chair and tied her mouth too. she was crying seeing the state of Aryan who was struggling to save her. Kabir slapped her hard and this way he was slapping and then kissing the place. He was torturing her in short. He was wantedly biting her nape and neck wanting to hear her moan but he was so wild that she was crying in pain and he was least bothered. He wanted her body and her cry, her pain, her tears nothing bothered to him.
As she wore off shoulder dress with thigh slit, he was taking advantage of her state and was lusting her milk white body. He sat near her legs and was moving his hands on her leg sensually and was biting them and sucking her wounds. She was crying hard but he was just into showing his dominance on her body. He was sliding his fingers upward towards her thigh and womanhood, she was moving vigorously to stop him but his grip on her turned hard every second. Monster in him woke up and he was hungry of satisfying his desires. He was sliding his fingers on her hands and kissing her knuckles he was leaving his traces on her hands and his filthy touch was trembling her.
Aryan wasn’t able to see her misery, he wanted to help but in vain. His injuries were deep that he wasn’t able to even stand and give a befitting reply to Kabir who was molesting his bhabhi cum sister. He was cursing himself for whatever he did. He was ashamed but then he realised he can curse himself later but now the priority is to protect her but how!!!!
A pair of eyes which were observing her ordeal couldn’t take it anymore and marched towards Kabir. He was sliding his fingers onto Riddhima’s thighs sliding her outfit, when he received a tight slap on his face and his eyes were fierce. Riddhima was shocked to see that person and the way that person was bashing Kabir was a shocking.
Kabir (anger): How dare you Ahana!!! How dare you do this to me!
Ahana (disgust): How dare you Kabir! You are molesting a women and you want me to not say a word! I would have come long back but saw Aryan proceeding and thought he’d handle you but poor he, he’s injured and now even if I won’t take a stand against this then I can never face myself in future.
Kabir (mocking): How come suddenly you are having pity on her? You wanted to take her place right!! And if you forgot let me remind you that Vansh backed out of his promise and then you wanted revenge so what’s this?
Ahana: I hate her and its never going to change. And I do want to avenge my insult from Vansh too but that doesn’t mean I’ll let her suffer in this way. Am a women and seeing another women crying for help isn’t what you can expect me to do!! I wont let you even touch her now. Dare you take a step towards her; I’ll kick your ass and you’ll repent messing with me. Am warning you.
She was about to untie Riddhima when Kabir started bashing Ahana recklessly and Riddhima was crying to stop him but in vain. Ahana winced in pain. Ahana was semi-conscious when she saw him dragging Riddhima into another room and she was afraid of worse while Riddhima was screaming for help but by now she was almost dead by his touches and her soul was waiting for Vansh. Ahana tried to help Aryan so that may be he can help but in vain as he had no strength in his body to help Riddhima.
(Present)
Vansh was searching for Riddhima when he gets a notification on his phone and expecting it to be from Riddhima, he opened it to find a video clip from an unknown number and as soon as he opens it he feels like the earth swallowed him, he feels as if his world crashed, he feels as if his worst nightmare made its way and turned into reality. His pain, his anger, his agony popped out of his body from his eyes and …. And he shouts on top of his voice to display his anger and pain. The mansion shook with his voice and everyone rushed towards his room to find him on his knees collapsed on ground crying and shouting Riddhima’s name. All were afraid of his anger. Angre rushed to him to give support to Vansh!
Dadi: Vansh, beta what happened?
Ishani: Bhai you are scaring us! Why are you in this state?
Angre (understanding something): Boss!!! Where is Riddhima Bhabhi?
Siya: Ha Bhai where is bhabhi?
Vansh (shout on top of his voice): RIDDHIMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vansh was holding his phone with the video was playing and her cries were audible to everyone. Angre grabbed the phone and as soon as he saw few seconds of the video, he collapsed and the phone fell from his hand and sensing the severity Ishani held dadi while Siya played the video and to the utter shock it was the video of Kabir’s atrocities on Riddhima and her cries.
All were clasping for breath as the visuals weren’t worth noting and this raged anger in Vansh and he was boiling.
Vansh (demanding tone): Angre!! I need to see the CCTV footage of the corridor and around the mansion. And trace the number now!!!
Angre rushed to work on it while Vansh grabbed his mobile and was having tears in his eyes watching his love struggling in the hands of a molester.
Vansh: Am sorry sweetheart! Am sorry I wasn’t able to protect from him but trust me in few hours you’d be released from his clutches and I’ll protect you before he does anything such. Just trust me sweetheart am coming!! Your Vansh is coming!!!! (rage in his eyes)
He left the room in rage and the catch he had in his phone showed his anger he had on that Kabir who tried to touch her and now is the reason for her pain and tears. Dadi and the girls were inconsolable but they had to console themselves.
Ishani: Dadi we need to be strong enough to handle Riddhima who is broke and would be in trauma. Bhai would be bringing her any moment and we have to be her support system now. She needs us. (crying)
Though she tried to give courage to dadi & Siya, she herself needed support to handle the situation as she was not in her senses to understand the severity. She was motionless.
Vansh called the number and a person answered the call in the very first ring as if waiting for the call. Listening to the person’s voice Vansh instantly recognized the voice and was furious but when the person revealed something, his anger faded and gave a loud shout
Vansh (shout): Angre!!!!!
Angre and others ran out
Angre: Boss I got the CCTV footage and Kabir entered your room and kidnapped bhabhi and took her from back door. And the number has been traced and the location is …
Vansh: Old factory
Angre (shock): But boss how did you….!!!
Vansh: Angre I’ll explain everything later but now Riddhima is in danger, I need to rush. (dadi) Dadi, trust me I’ll get your grand daughter perfectly fine. Ishani, Siya take care and I’ll get your bhabhi
Angre along with Vansh rushed out while Angre was driving, Vansh was trying to call the number but after many attempts, the call was answered. When Vansh heard the voice, it was weak and he felt the situation slipping out of hands.
Vansh (anger): Angre! Ask our men to reach the factory! I won’t handle Kabir to any cops but am going to give him the torture. Am going to kill him with my hands. Am going to pay him all the pain he gave to my Riddhima. He’s going to face the rage of Vansh Rai Singhania. He dared hurt my Riddhima now he’ll repent and I’ll make sure he does.
Angre: Boss I already asked my people to take their positions and they are on their positions and are waiting for our order. I also got to know that there isn’t any Kabir’s accompanies there. He’s alone.
Vansh: Angre rushhh!!!! The situation is getting out of control.
(Old Factory)
Kabir dragged her onto a bed and tied her hands and legs and was undressing himself and she was shouting out aloud for help. Aryan and Ahana tried to do whatever they can but their body which had number of bruises wasn’t cooperating with their will to save her as they could hear her cries and they were growing every second and their fears arose. Kabir was giving an evil smirk crawled above her and was about to take her lips into his but she with disgust and hatred spit on his face which irked him and then gave her another slap and cleaning the spit off his face, he once again hovered upon her and was trying to undress her to satisfy his lust. He was trying hard but she wasn’t letting him and was moving her body vigorously to not let him reach her zip. She was crying loud and her cries were unanswered. He was not in a position to take no as answer as his desires reached to the peak point and as she wasn’t allowing him so he irked and then he in fist of rage tore her dress with full force and now she was in her undergarments and she gave a loud cry to gain someone’s attention who can help her and his lust occupied brain felt it as moan and was crawling on her to make her his own and his eyes fell on her br*asts and she was struggling to get out of his evil eyes and he was about to grab them when out of blue, he saw the door of the room break and the visual in front of his eyes wasn’t what he could ever expect.
His eyes had hatred, fire, Anger, volcanoes erupting. It was Vansh and the moment he’s eyes fell on Riddhima, and her condition wasn’t any less than worse. He was fuming and his eyes were fierce enough to kill a person.
Vansh (anger): Kabiirrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Seeing Vansh in front of her eyes, she sighed a relief and lost her conscious. Vansh saw Angre coming towards the room and then with a loud cry
Vansh: Angre!!! (shout) Stop right there!!!
Angre understood and stopped in his tracks. While Vansh ran into the room while Kabir was trying to fight with Vansh but he overpowered Kabir and knocking him out of the room, so that Angre could take charge and as decided, Angre handed Kabir after thrashing him to his men who dragged him out of the place towards their hideout. Vansh ran towards unconscious Riddhima and untying her hands, he was calling her but he didn’t receive any reply and then his glare fell on her body which was torn apart by his marks and her clothes were torn out, her lips were bruised and she wasn’t in her normal position. He cursed himself and removing his blazer he covered her and taking her in his arms, he walked towards car where Angre was ready to take them to hospital. Once reaching hospital, she was shifted into operation theatre and a team of doctors were treating her while whole family reached and were waiting impatiently. Vansh was pacing around praying for her safety while he was holding his fist in anger reminiscing seeing Kabir on Riddhima.
After a while, doctors were out of the Operation Theatre and Vansh rushed towards them.
Vansh: Doctor how’s she?
Doctor: We have done her treatment and she’ll be shifted to ICU in a while. And Mr. Vansh I need to talk to you in personal. Please if you could accompany me
Vansh feared worse and with no option left, he accompanied doctor to his cabin while family was waiting to check on Riddhima. Once in cabin,
Doctor: Mr. Vansh I hope you know what those marks in her body are
Vansh’s expressions changed and anger took over his senses but doctor jerked him breaking his thoughts, Vansh just nodded and something strikes him and with fear in his eyes, he spoke
Vansh: Doctor was she molested!!!
Doctor: No! She wasn’t but she was tried to. I wanted to talk to you about the same. She was touched, tried to molest her, was manhandled. We could treat her wounds on body but not what she’s going through or would be going through.
Vansh: I understand doctor. But when will she gain conscious and how is she now?
Doctor: That can be told after she gains conscious.
Vansh nodded and came out to find police with Angre
Police: Mr. Vansh we are here to take her statement
Vansh: She’s unconscious
Police: Ok sir meanwhile we’ll speak to doctor.
They took doctor’s statement and were waiting for Riddhima to gain conscious and when sister informed that she gained consciousness, Vansh and family were about to go but were stopped by police
Police: Sorry Mr. Vansh, we need to take her statement first then you can meet her
Vansh (anger): How dare you! My wife gained consciousness after long and you aren’t letting me in!
Police: Sir we are doing our duty
Vansh: I don’t care. I need to be with my wife. She needs me. just leave my way
Police: Sir, please understand
Dadi: Vansh let them do their work.
Vansh: Dadi but ….
Dadi: Vansh, she needs justice and will be achieved once police take her statement. So, let them do their work
Vansh gave in and police went to record her statement. After few seconds they heard a loud cry from the room and Vansh barged into the room to find police surrounding frightened Riddhima who was holding her knees up to her chest and encircled them into her arms and with fear in her eyes and her body trembling. Her condition was worse than anyone could expect. She was shivering and shouting asking none to come near her
Riddhima (afraid and shouting): NO!!! NO!!! Don’t come near me!!! Please!!! Leave me!!!! Please don’t harm me!! Don’t touch me!!! (crying)
Vansh panicked seeing her in this condition. Dadi almost collapsed to see her brave granddaughter shivering with glance of people around. Ishani gave her support and took her out of the room. Vansh with heavy heart, he approached Riddhima and tried to touch her but she jerked in a split second and closing her eyes swiftly, she was shouting
Riddhima: Don’t touch me. I hate you!! Please don’t touch me!!!! My Vansh will not leave you.
Vansh had tears in his eyes
Vansh (thinking): Am sorry Riddhima. You had trust that I’ll save you but I couldn’t save you from falling in his hands. I couldn’t save you from going through this trauma. I couldn’t save you Riddhima! Am sorry you are in this state because of me. I won’t leave that bastard who dared to harm you. It’s my promise to you.
He once again went near Riddhima, and placed a hand on her shoulder and she was still closing her eyes and was crying out loud jerking his hand. Vansh didn’t remove his hand but made his grip on her tight and with heavy heart started speaking
Vansh: Riddhima, Riddhima!! Riddhima it’s me your Vansh! Look am here. I won’t let anyone harm you. Look
Riddhima slowly opened her eyes to find Vansh staring her with care, affection, love and hatred for himself. She had hope in her eyes and seeing him, she shouted and
Riddhima (hope): Vansh!!! Vansh!!!!
She pounced on him and hugged him tight and was crying desperately and Vansh couldn’t see her this way and the tears which he has been trying to hold back. The tears made their way and he held her tight and was consoling her at the same time trying to console himself. She didn’t leave him and was stuck to him as a puppy. Police wanted her statement and so once again a women constable tried to touch her but as soon as she felt another touch on her, she freaked. Vansh gave a fierce glare to the police personnel.
Police: Sir we need to take her statement
Vansh: Have you lost it!! Can’t you see her condition? She isn’t in any condition; she isn’t in a position to even speak. So, you may leave!!
Police: Sir how can we! We need her statement to register FIR against Kabir
As soon as she heard Kabir’s name she started panicking and her hold on Vansh was tight and she started crying aloud
Riddhima (panic): Ka…. Bir…. Kab….ir….. Vansh!! kabi…r will come again!! Vansh he’ll snatch me! He’ll …..
Vansh: Shhh …. Riddhima am here. Nothing will happen. I won’t let anyone touch you. Am here! Calm down!!
Riddhima was crying clung onto his waist and encircling her hands into him, she felt safe in his arms. Vansh glared at police
Vansh: Don’t you dare take that name in front of her
Police: Sir but its needed to punish him and for that her statement is necessary
Vansh (anger): You need statement right! Fine you have witness for that (Angre) Angreee!!! Take them to the witness and they’ll record their statements.
Angre nodded and police followed them but the way he shouted, Riddhima jerked and he patted her trying to calm her. She didn’t even leave him for a second. Holding her he sat beside her and was caressing her back while she slept in his arms. He steadily placed her on his lap and was caressing her cursing himself.
Its been 2 days since all this happened and she wasn’t letting anyone come towards her except Vansh. She was not even speaking with anyone. She was comfortable with only Vansh, she wasn’t even speaking to dadi and other family members. Dadi and family used to come and visit her when she was asleep. She used to eat, sleep and get treated only in front of Vansh. She was in trauma and even in this chaos, she felt safe and secure only in his presence. Even though he used to be with her all the time, she never spoke to him. She used to be silent all the time, looking in some direction glaring in that way whole day. Whenever she slept she got the dreams of that incident freaking her and would wake up late nights shouting and it’d be Vansh who would caress and calm her. Vansh spoke to the doctor and convinced him to take her home as her wounds were healing and being in hospital she wasn’t healing mentally. She sat on the bed staring at the wall opposite her. Vansh entered the room with discharge papers to see her calm and lost in some thoughts. He recollected what doctor said few minutes back
(few minutes back)
Doctor: Mr. Vansh I know you want to take her from here as you feel she isn’t healing mentally and I appreciate it as that’s true. Because our medication is for her physical wounds and not for her trauma. She’s fragile. She needs love, care & affection. She’ll be in trauma and you need to deal her with patience. The more care and love you’d give; she’ll recover soon. She needs your support. Make sure she opens and behaves normally, because am afraid if she stays this way for long, she may slip into depression.
(present)
Vansh (thinking): You are my Riddhima, my strength. Now I’ll make sure you come out of this soon and I’ll be your strength.
Vansh (excited): Sweetheart ready?
Riddhima slowly turned her face towards the voice to see Vansh standing near the door with flowers in his hand. He approached her and gave her the flowers but as usual she didn’t even utter a word nor a smile crept on her face. She gave him a blank look and turned her gaze towards the empty wall.
Vansh: Arrey am speaking and you aren’t paying heed. Acha chalo forget it! Guess what! Doctor gave us clean chit to go home away from this hospital. Dadi, Ishani, Siya everyone is eagerly waiting for your arrival.
Riddhima didn’t react. Vansh packed her stuff and Angre arranged everything in the car. Vansh held his hand asking her to come. She forwarded her hand and he held it and with his support she got down the bed and was trying to walk but her wounds weren’t allowing her to. Vansh couldn’t see her thus, so, he picked her in his arms shocking her but then his eyes conveyed his care and so she surrendered herself and he was talking something but she wasn’t even paying heed. Angre opened the door and Vansh gently helped her to sit and then sat beside her while Angre drove towards house. All the way, Riddhima was glaring out of window. She had no expressions and in the whole ride, Angre and Vansh tried to involve her in some conversation but she was not even reacting. They reached home and Vansh gently lift her into his arms and then walked towards door and making her stand beside him when dadi came to do her welcome. Riddhima didn’t even see at anyone. Dadi caressed her hair and as soon as she touched her, Riddhima held onto Vansh arms and started crying.
Riddhima: Don’t touch me!! Don’t .. .to…uch me!!! (panic)
Dadi felt sad to see her being this afraid and one touch is freaking her. Vansh held her and tried to calm her
Vansh: Shh.. Riddhima relax. Am here. Its just dadi. Look. Look at her. She’s worried for you. None would harm you. Trust me Riddhima. Its family. They are concerned for you.
Riddhima still clung onto his arms, slightly opened her eyes to see dadi, Ishani, Siya, chachi & chachu smiling at her lovingly. She was uncomfortable. She held his arms tightly and was glaring at dadi. Vansh gestured dadi to bless her and she carefully places her hand on Riddhima’s head, at first she jerks but then stands there tucking to Vansh’s arm. He smiles while dadi blesses her and welcomes her home. Vansh led her to the living area where everyone sat and Riddhima all this while didn’t leave Vansh. She clung on to him. Ishani & Siya too tried to speak to her but she was just listening to them wasn’t reacting.
After a while, he saw Riddhima being uncomfortable and so decided to take her into the room and left her up in his arms and went towards their room and placed her on the bed and covered her in duvet. She dozed off due to medicinal effect and Vansh caressing her face, placed a peck on her forehead, turning the lights off and went down to meet his family. He told them about her fragile condition and how they should behave patiently with her. They were talking when they suddenly heard a cry from their room, Vansh along with family rushed towards his room to find Riddhima crying vigorously
Riddhima (crying): Vansh!!!! Save me!!! Don’t touch me!!!!
She was crying and Vansh ran to her hugged her calming down. Everyone was worried for her as she wasn’t the Riddhima they have known for months. The Riddhima who was fierce lion was now trembling in fear for a small sound or even a touch. They felt bad and somewhere in their heart they had a guilt that she’s facing all this because of them.
Vansh: Riddhima! Riddhima am here! You are safe.
Riddhima didn’t leave Vansh and clings onto his arms. He carefully places her head onto his lap and caresses her hair.
Vansh: Riddhima calm down and sleep am here.
Dadi comes towards Vansh and caresses her hair and looks at Vansh and then at Riddhima. Vansh realizes she slept and then he wipes her tears and dadi wipes his tears.
Vansh: What do I do dadi that I cant help her in getting rid of those thoughts and the pain. Am unable to see her writhing in pain. I cant even define what she’s going through. Am helpless.
Dadi: Vansh whatever she went through we cant even expect. We are here and so we shall take care of her and am sure she’ll be fine soon. Just trust your love.
Ishani: Ha bhai. You are her strength and you need to be confident. We all will strive to get our Riddhima back.
All left the room while Vansh was wondering ways to fade her pain. He dozed off in the same position. The next morning when he woke up, he found Riddhima still sleeping on his lap as a kid. He smiled and caressing her face, he laid her down on the pillow and went to freshen up. When he came he saw her still sleeping! He went to bring breakfast. When he reached the dining, he saw everyone already seated waiting for him and Riddhima
Ishani: Bhai where is Riddhima?
Vansh: Ishani she is sleeping.
Dadi: Is she fine?
Vansh: Don’t know dadi but at present I felt she’s sleeping peacefully but am not sure. Am worried
Siya: Bhai we need to give her some space and am sure she’ll be fine soon.
Vansh: Umm…. Acha dadi I’ll take breakfast for her. I don’t think she’ll come down
Dadi: I understand beta. Take it.
By the time Vansh reached he saw Riddhima waking in a startle and with panic in her eyes she was looking around when Vansh reached her and observing her condition, he rushed to her and hugged her and she cling to him.
Vansh: Riddhima no need to panic am here and you are in our room. Come! Now let’s get ready for the day and then look dadi sent your favourite Pancakes for you.
Riddhima didn’t react. She was trying to get up from the bed to use washroom. Vansh led his hand to help her and while dropping her in the washroom
Vansh: Sweetheart don’t lock the door, just close it. You may need my help. And don’t bath! Doctor strictly asked to give you sponge bath. Ok
Riddhima just nodded and left while he was just pacing near the door waiting for her to come out and when she came back, he helped her to sit on bed. He went to close all the doors and windows and pulled all the curtains and went into the washroom while Riddhima was observing with no expression. Vansh came out with a bucket of warm water and a sponge. He approached her as she was constantly glaring him unaware what he’s up to. He placed the bucket beside her and approached her and was about to touch her and she out of shock gave him a wide glare and jerked back and he understood. Taking his hand back, he sat beside her and taking her hand in his hands he realised she was shivering
Vansh: Riddhima calm down. Am just trying to give you sponge bath nothing else. I swear I won’t see anything. I’ll turn the lights off and will close my eyes too. Ok?
Riddhima was still trembling of the thought of someone seeing her body. She started weeping and Vansh was afraid and hugged her to calm down.
Vansh: Am sorry Riddhima. My intentions weren’t to hurt you. I just wanted to help you.
He backed from hug and wiping her tears he spoke
Vansh: Riddhima relax. I won’t do this. I’ll send Dadi or Ishani to help you in this. Ok?
He was about to leave when she still clung onto his sweatshirt as a kid not letting her parents leave her alone. He turned around and once again sat beside her and holding her hands
Vansh: Riddhima what happened? Shall I not leave?
Riddhima hugged him and wasn’t letting him move.
Vansh: Acha ok I won’t leave. But shall we have breakfast? It’s yummy.
He gets up and brings the breakfast tray and started feeding her, she takes a bite and jerks in pain in her mouth and Vansh blow on her lips to calm her pain as her lips were still hurting and her jaws were yet bruised and she feels difficulty in chewing.
Vansh: Riddhima eat slowly. No hurry!
She was calmly chewing while he was feeding her. After done, he gave her medicines. She sat their once again looking blankly towards the window which was opposite her. Vansh sat observing her and waiting to hear her speak.
Vansh: Riddhima you know am so happy because of you Ishani and Angre are together and guess what she proposed him and he accepted too. Now they are a family and all this is because of you. You changed the base of this house and family. Before you I was the base but then you entered and then whole family and house started depending on you. You aren’t speaking and they are doing whatever they want. No discipline no rules nothing.
Riddhima was listening but wasn’t reacting. She was just alive physically but mentally she died that night when she face all that. Vansh was pretty well aware of her state so wantedly was talking random stuff as she was supposed to come out of that trauma. He wantedly pulled her arms gently and made sure her eyes met him and she was shocked when he spoke
Vansh: Riddhima am Vansh Rai Singhania and I hate if people ignore me. When am speaking something look towards me into my eyes! How many times should I say this!! (anger)
