I'M NOT A SPY ✔

PART 22 | A Trip Or Revenge?

Vansh finished his basketball session and returned back to his room, more energetic than before. Yash had been taken care of. He never murdered people but Yash had crossed all his limits as a human being. That psychopath would have come out of jail by claiming that he was mentally unstable, that was common for all the criminals who misbehaved with women. Vansh was thinking about his next target, the ultimate target, for whom he had been waiting all these years. 

His thoughts drifted back to the past, to the date, 8 December 2017.

"Vihaan...I'm waiting for you...I'd like to spend my day with the most special person..." Riddhima cut the call. It was midnight, 1:00 a.m.. Riddhima was excitedly waiting for her husband, to celebrate her day. No one knew about her marriage with him. But every moment spent with him was special for her. She did not wish to spend even a single minute of her birthday without him.

Vihaan excitedly got ready in the middle of the night, but the problem was, he was in VR mansion, to take care of his ailing grandfather.He had to reach the other city as fast as possible. He took a chopper to reach Riddhima. 

One phone call, just one phone call shattered his life.

"Vihaaaan........I'm scared....someone has kidnapped me...I'm near...near the...hills...." Riddhima said

He could hear her shriek later, as if she was being tortured. Vihaan thought it was Riddhima's prank at first, but later realized that the situation was serious. The chopper landed on the hill, and Vihaan was madly searching for his wife, who was expecting a baby. He rushed to the place where he heard her shriek, once again. She was being pulled by her hair, by a masked man, four more muscular men where standing around. Vihaan rushed to her, and her bruises pricked his heart. The other four men pulled Vihaan back but he managed to unmask the man who was holding Riddhima. It was Yash. Riddhima could not see him, but Vihaan managed to capture his face pictorially. Yash wore on his mask and laughed, 

"The boss has not arrived yet, girl...wait for him and serve him...if you want your boyfriend to be alive..." Yash chuckled

The other four men began hitting Vihaan

"No....stop!...please leave my husband..." Riddhima begged

"Really?..." they heard a voice, and a face appeared, that was unforgettable. Vansh RaiSinghania's rival, only he knew who he was.

"Hello, Vansh..."

"You?..." Vihaan was shocked to see him 

Vansh was broken from his reverie, when he saw her coming into the room

"You're okay?..." he asked

She nodded.

"Dadi is calling you..." she said, still not knowing what to say.

"Hmm...I will meet her...but pack your bags and get ready...we're going to Paris tonight..."

Riddhima nodded without understanding what he meant.

"What?...Paris? Tonight?...but why me?..."

"I said we are going to Paris tonight...no more questions..." he said and drifted out of the room.

Riddhima weakly smiled. The fears she had subsided as she learnt about who the stalker was. But freedom was something that had been snatched away from her. She was safe, in a beautiful golden jail. Never had she thought that she would end up with unexpected relationships in her life. Why was he forcing her to go out and that too, to Paris? She had never seen the outer world apart from India. It was her first trip abroad. Riddhima sat down, she had always dreamed of going to Paris, but not this way. Sejal's death had shattered her. She had no means to communicate with her other friends as she had blocked her number, threw her phone and laptop so that no one comes behind her, and landed up in a jail named VR mansion. Life was not as she had expected. She picked out his clothes and began folding them without being consciousness.

"Umm...I'm sorry...I just thought you'll feel better..." she heard a voice

It was him. He was peeping into the room with his legs outside the door and his broad shoulders leaning on it, with his left hand holding the knob. Riddhima stood still for a while. Was he nice to her?

"What if I don't want to come?..." she turned around

"I'm sorry sweetheart...you've no other option..." Vansh shrugged and got back to his work

"Despicable he!" she muttered and rolled her eyes

Riddhima, though confused about his behavior towards her, was surprised and impressed with him. Why did he want to protect her? How did he know about her stalkers? Was he following her from the first? Numerous questions began clouding her mind as an hour passed by.

"Are we ready?" He came back

"Hmm.." she replied looking at the ground but as a few moments of stillness followed, she began questioning him in a breath, without taking a pause,

"How did you know that I was being attacked by a stalker? How did you know about Sejal's death? How did you know about me being scared and depressed? Were you following me all these days? If you were really trying to protect me then why didn't you come earlier? Why did you marry me at all? Why did you wish to keep me inside the VR mansion? Why did you not tell me about anything before? Why did you promise me that you would send Yash to jail? You did not have any personal issues with him...What are your intentions?  What are you expecting from me?..." her tears began welling up, her questions unanswered, her eyes searching for something she had missed. The comfort she had felt with him was genuine. There was a discomfort too, but nothing could be described with mere words.

She expected that Vansh would retort and scold her. It was surprising that he maintained a calm demeanor. He just smiled, lost in his own thoughts and looked at her,

"Shall we go?...you'll get to know the answers of your questions...later...." he smiled 

He was smiling! He looked cute! His wife was standing like a statue, mesmerized at the magical gestures he gave her.
