This one shot is from the continuation of Riddhima’s dream of last OS “Illusion”. No Vihaan’s character here.
Solace
Riddhima opens her eyes and looks at herself as she is lying down on the floor soaking her dress completely into water and shirt clutched close to her. She heard a knock on her washroom’s door. A fear ran down her spine thinking for the worst to happen.
“Riddhima, why don’t you die inside only?” She heard Anupriya’s voice and moving to the door opened it.
“What now?” She asked and saw Anupriya eyeing her.
“Still in the memory of your ex-husband” She said and snatched Vansh’s shirt from her hand. “No problem, Kabir will erase them.”
Riddhima saw as she threw the shirt out of the window. Riddhima ran and looked at the shirt which was thrown in garden. She was about to move out when Anupriya stopped her hand and holding Riddhima’s hand kept it on her back piercing her nails through her delicate skin.
“Aaaha…What are you doing?” She asked and Anupriya felt pain rushing down her left cheeks, as everything set perfectly in her mind. She looked to see Dadi standing in front of her.
“Leave her hand, Anupriya” She heard her and looking at Riddhima jerked her hand hardly. Riddhima looking at her clutched her wrist which went numb due to pain. “Is this the way we behave with the daughters of Raisinghania.”
Anupriya cursed her in her mind and bend her head down.
“You said to ask her whether she want to marry Kabir or not. But you yourself is forcing her to marry him. Why?” She heard Dadi asking and saw as everyone came and stood in front of the door. “Riddhima, do you want to marry Kabir?”
“No dadi” Riddhima said with blank eyes looking nowhere.
“Ok, don’t worry no one will force you here. Take rest. I’ll ask the servants to send your breakfast here” Riddhima nodded and everyone left the room. She looked around and remembered how Anupriya through his shirt out of the window. Leaving every other thought she rushed out of her room.
Coming to the garden, she searched around for his shirt. On finding it, she took it and hugged it again as tears again came out of her eyes.
“Vansh…I beg you please come back. I can’t even breathe here without you.” She said and heard someone calling her. Turning around, she didn’t found anyone.
“Riddhima” She heard, same voice, which was earlier used to scare her is now giving her pleasure, that same soothing voice, heart-touching. She wanted to see the owner and getting up rolled her eyes around the garden. She saw guards there and in front of the main gate, there was him.
Sitting royally in his car, wearing his white shirt. She saw him looking at her with a smirk. She was about to run to him when she saw him driving off. Looking at Angre’s car in front of her, she peeped inside to see the keys were in the engine.
Getting in she drove out of the mansion, ignoring Angre who was shouting at her back trying to stop her. Even guards didn’t dared to stop her as the car was on its maximum speed. Speeding up the car, she saw Vansh’s car in front of her.
Before she could overtake or stop it, she saw its speed increasing. Pressing the accelerator, she drove after him. Not even daring to miss its glances, she didn’t even bothered to blink her eyes. Vansh’s shirt tied to her arm as if securing her. She was just following him not knowing where he was taking her to.
Pressing the brakes suddenly, she felt herself to be pulled in front. Thanks to her seat belt she was safe. She saw as the car stopped. Coming out of her car, she ran to it and opened it door to find an unknown face.
“Vansh…” She mumbled as a tear came out of her eyes, rolling down her eyes fell on the floor mixing with the sand as she saw him coming out.
“Excuse me…who are you?” She heard him but didn’t bothered to answer him or apologize. The pain she is feeling right now was unbearable. Moving to her car, she sat in. Keeping her head on the steering she again saw Vansh’s shirt. She kissed it and closed her eyes, as tears came out. She felt a hand wiping her tears, she opened it to see Vansh in front of her. A chuckle escaped her mouth.
“Again I’m imagining you. I know.” She said and he kissed on her cheeks. “May be my pleasure is in that only. Imagining you beside me.”
“Riddhima” She heard him and thinking it to be her dream closed her eyes not saying even a word. “I’m here only.”
She heard and opened her eyes with a jerk. Looking at him, she touched his cheeks to feel him there. She felt his hands on her. She looked into his eyes.
“Vansh…” She mumbled and saw as he nodded at her with teary eyes. “You’re alive and here.”
She asked on which he nodded his head. She looked at him and touched his face caressing it.
“You’re fine.” She said and hugged him tightly hitting her stomach with the clutch in the process. But the happiness of finding him in front of her safely with a scratch on his body was enough to make all the pain invisible. He kept his hand on her stomach to check if she was ok.
“Vansh….You came back.” His thoughts broke hearing her, breaking the hug. He cupped her cheeks.
“Come out.” He said and she shook her head in no.
“You’ll leave me again. No way, I’m not going to listen to you now.” She said and held his hand stopping him too to go out.
“Riddhima, I’m here I promise I won’t leave you” he held her hand tightly as if understanding her insecurity. She looked at him with teary eyes. He felt a pang in his heart on seeing her wet cheeks. “Come out”
She nodded and came out. Looking at him, she saw as he opened the front seat door and got in. Pulling her in, he made her sit on his lap. She didn’t said even a word nor reacted but looked at his face.
“Now you’re sure that I’m here in front of you?” She could really feel his warmth around her, which she was craving for and nodded. “Now tell me everything from start until how you ended up over here as I wanted to listen to your side of the story to”
She kept her head on his shoulders and started narrating everything to him while he was driving the car carefully listening to her each word. “Few days back, I got to know everything about mom also and today only Kabir forced me to agree to marry him” she said everything and exhaled a deep breath and looked at his hard face which had stained tear droplets on his cheeks “I know you won’t trust me this easily with this but please at least think about it.”
He didn’t said even a word and glanced at Riddhima who was looking at his face waiting for his action but when he didn’t showed she kept her head on his chest only listening to his heartbeats she felt peace in her heart. Suddenly something hit her and she looked at him.
“How you are alive I mean you fell from the cliff then you here in the car? How?” She asked panicking praying this not to be her illusion or she’ll break now. He looked at her scared eyes and with his one hand again made her lay down on his chest.
“That day when Mom made me listen to your confession on Siya’s phone that you came here as a spy, I agree I believed her but if you came there to kill Siya or spy on me why would you have taken bullet for me or why would have treated her to help her walk on her own feet. I did trusted that but my love for you won over that and on the way, I planned all this to give you chance. That day I fell from their but in the cliff there was a small cave may be it was made for security or for some other purpose. I fell there and as planned Angre came there with the chopper and rescued me from there” He explained and looking at her face, he gave her pea-sized mind some time to digest what all chaos he had said right now. After she was done doing her calculations on what he said, he looking at her face continued.
“Right now I was in the car as I was waiting for Angre to come to me with the property papers which were in the locker. So that I can change the power of attorney as there are many enemies who knows in which way they will trap dadi and take the property from her even they can kill her. But just when he was about to come you came and drove the car without even looking whose car it is. Whom you were following?” He asked and saw her face dull, she finally got what he meant.
“I thought I saw you so was following that car which was in my front.” She reasoned out and he looked at her face which was hidden in his chest. Planting a kiss in her hairs he caressed her back while driving the steering with the other hand.
He stopped the car with a sudden halt making Riddhima shock, she looked out to find herself in front of VR Mansion.
“Come.” He said and opened car’s door picking her up in his arms, he brought her in. He didn’t found anyone in the hall, he knew he need to search about everything first. So slowly leading his way to his room, he entered in with her in his arms.
“That means Angre knew everything that you were safe. Then why he didn’t told anything to any of us even not to me?” She asked suddenly as soon as they entered in their room. Vansh looked at her, he assumed the reason of her silence was that she was using her mind to completely tackle his plans.
“Because I asked him not to” He said and placed himself on the bed placed her on his lap.
“Why?” Came her instant question as soon as she saw his face. Keeping her head on his chest, she kept her hand on his which was on her waist. How much she hated his presence even around her but now she wants to spend her entire life in his embrace close to him. Kabir whom she loved so much betrayed her and the person whom she hated so much explained her the real meaning of love, life, care.
“So that none could harm anyone of you. I know Kabir threatened you for Ishani….” She heard him and panicked rushed through her spine.
“Vansh, Kabir had threatened me that if I refused to marry him he will kill Ishani and her child. And I forgot all this and refused. How can I do this? Ishani?” Riddhima mumbled to him or to herself was out of the box to be figured out. Before he could do anything or explain her, she moved out of the room. He can’t move as anyone can see him.
Running downstairs, Riddhima rushed to Angre and Ishani’s room. Knocking on their door, Riddhima waited for any of them to open. She grew impatient when there wasn’t any response. She knocked loudly and saw Ishani opening the door. Riddhima released her breath which unknown to her she was holding for so long.
“What…?” Before Ishani could say she was interrupted by Riddhima who hugged her tightly.
“Thank God Ishani, you are ok” Riddhima mumbled in her ears slowly and breaking the hug. “Your baby, is he fine?”
She heard her panicked voice and just passed her nod. Riddhima nodded and left from there leaving her confused and dumbstruck thinking to analyze what all happened right now.
“Now are you going to listen to me” Riddhima heard as soon as she entered in their room, she saw Vansh standing in front of the window. Biting her inner cheeks, she moved to him. “Angre heard Kabir threating you using Ishani and he is there to protect her. So stop worrying about her. It’s not so easy to harm anyone in VR Mansion under such high security and that too Ishani impossible”
“So now?” She asked getting curious to know of his plans. He looked at her and moved close to her. She moved back hitting her back repeating it until her back hit the wall. He kept his hand in front of her to stop her from moving away from his gaze.
“I still don’t trust you. So stop asking me about everything, I told that much which was necessary for you to know. Every information isn’t to be gained. It can even harm your life Sweetheart.” She heard him forgetting about every other word he said, but the word sweetheart from his mouth was enough to send a pleasures vibe ran throughout her body making her feel goose-bumps. “Until I & Angre don’t find each and every information correctly you are not going to tell anyone about me being and alive, even you’ll be living the same way as you were from last few weeks.”
She heard him and saw him entering the closet, she understood what he meant. Having her husband alive, safe in front of her she will have to behave like a widow, a small chuckle left her lips.
—————–
Vansh looked at Riddhima who was sleeping peacefully on the bed while he was sitting on the couch working trying to collect all the proofs. He looked at her face again, a small smile on her lips as if she was getting the most peaceful sleep of her life. Hairs perfectly flowing with the flow of wind. He saw her turning around due to which her back was facing him now.
For whole 1 day he is here, still no information he got. Looking back at the screen of the laptop, he waited for Angre to send him some information. Suddenly he heard a knock on his door, not knowing who it can be. He moved to Riddhima and tried waking her up.
“Riddhima…get up and open the door.” Riddhima opened her eyes slowly listening to his words and analyzing what he said when they again heard a knock.
Riddhima got down from the bed and moving to the door opened it while she saw Vansh hiding himself behind the door. She opened the door to see Angre there.
“Bhabhi…Boss?” She looked at him and pointed at Vansh. Moving back, she let him in and sat back on the bed looking at them discussing something.
“Angre…Ishani” She shouted looking at him over here, then who is with her. Even on knowing her life is on threat, they are peacefully discussing over here.
“Bhabhi…She is sleeping” He realized as he saw her moving out of the room and ran behind her. Leaving Vansh there as he can’t move. He looked at his wife retreating figure, confused that why she always have to be Jhansi ki rani and run to save everyone.
Angre entered in the room and saw Riddhima who threw the vase out of the window while Ishani was taking deep breaths. He rushed to her and looking at her condition hugged her.
“Angre…he was trying to kill me” She said in the hug while he caressed her back. Riddhima looked at them and Angre blinked his eyes at her.
“Ishani who was he? Were you able to see his face?” Angre asked and cupped her face. Riddhima looked at her condition and decided to stop him.
“Angre, it’s not that important. You can even check the CCTV cameras of garden area. Look at her condition and let her rest.” Riddhima said on which Angre nodded. Ishani looked at her “Are you okay, Ishani?”
Riddhima asked giving her a glass of water which she gladly took and nodded at her. “Thank you Riddhima” Riddhima passed her a smile and moved out of their room.
Walking in the corridor, Riddhima saw Kabir’s room lights on. She heard few groaning sound and slightly opened the door to find him dressing his injured wound which was made on his back due to the vase she threw at him. She got to know he was the one who tried to kill her, cursing him under his breath thinking how can he be so cheap? She wished to confront him but thinking it to be wrong time moved from there.
Entering the room she saw Vansh walking impatiently in the room rubbing his palms. She came and stood in front of him.
“She is fine and Angre is with her but Kabir had tried to attack her.” He raised his eyebrows hearing her.
“He even showed his face.” He asked more than he said. She looked at him and then around the room.
“While I was coming over here, I saw his room’s lights were on while he was dressing his wound which was made by me as I threw the vase at him to save Ishani, maybe with that.” She said and he came close to her.
“Was he dressing it with door’s wide open?” He asked and looked at her as she was pinned to the wall in second.
“N…no..” She stammered under his gaze.
“Then he himself told you that the vase you threw at him made him injured and you can come to tell me.” He looked at her and kept his hand at her side.
“No…I saw him doing it…. from window” She said and looked down as he came more close to her. Slightly looking at him through her eyelash she saw his face expressionless. Holding her chin, he made her look into his eyes.
“One last time I’m telling. If I heard you talking about Kabir to me or to anyone or even you had a word with him. I swear on myself Riddhima either he won’t be alive or you won’t be staying in VR Mansion from that second itself. I’ll take somewhere else” He said while his face was close to her, not even breaking the eye-contact. She felt him pulling her to him. “Good Night”
He said and left her there only. She looked at him as he sat on the couch and looked at her. Moving to the bed, she laid down feeling his gaze at her. She turned around and took a deep breath. Remembering his words, she felt blush rush to her cheeks.
“Sleep.” She heard him and immediately closed her eyes.
After 3 hours, a message popped on his phone. Vansh opened his eyes and looked at Riddhima who was sleeping peacefully. He picked up his phone and moved to the window. Standing in the moonlight, he saw Angre’s message. Opening it he read it.
“Boss bhabhi was right. My men’s checked everything about Kabir and mom that they do outside VR Mansion. Kabir had used bhabhi’s innocence by making her fall for himself. After the day, she proposed him. He unleashed his plan of using her innocence against you to collect all the wrong proofs that were made by our own family members that was mom. We can’t get any good amount of information about mom but regarding Kabir all the things which bhabhi said was true. We are still working on collecting proofs against mom.”
Vansh read and turning around looked at Riddhima, a satisfactory smile. He knew she was saying true, he trusted her but a mafia mind asks for proof so that he can claim her as his wife in front of the whole world. Knowing it will take few more days for him to continue the act and seeing his wife as a widow in front of him when he his alive. But for a bright future we had to sacrifice our happiness and any truth won’t change the fact that he loves her out of the every limit.
“Check the CCTV footages even. I want the details of everyday because Riddhima is too good in hiding secrets.” He messaged him back and keeping back the phone came to bed.
Laying down beside her, he pulled her in his embrace and as he did she turning around hugged him tightly. He kissed on her cheeks and looked at her face which was glistening due to moonlight falling on her face. Tracing his fingers on her face he saw her body reacting to his touches even when she was in deep slumber. Closing his eyes, he covered her petite form under his long arms securing her from her whole world.
Riddhima opened her eyes feeling his embrace and looked up at him, a smile crept her lips feeling him close to her.
“I love you.” Both said at the same time, Riddhima immediately closed her eyes hiding her face in his chest. Vansh looked down to see her smiling. Hugging her more tightly he let out a sign. Finally they found their peace, their life, their solace in each other. Now fighting from the world won’t be difficult until they trust each other which they won’t let anyone of them to break.
The End….
I don’t know if the concept was different or you had somewhere else but I thought of this only.
