A Broken Frame

||Part : Three||

Suddenly Vansh feels his heartbeat loud with the mention of HER and dismisses his thought saying it must be in fear for his baby and concentrates on Ridhvik. Sitting beside him, he places some kisses on the boy's forehead which calms the baby a little.

Suddenly the door opens and Vansh gets the mint flavour in the air which he used to feel when SHE used to be around him and his heartbeats arise. With a surprised look, he uplifts his head to meet with the most beautiful pair of eyes and losses himself in HER ONCE AGAIN!

Her long thick eyelashes upon the beautiful round face and pink full lips on fair skin makes the dead feelings in him aroused. Her long hairs fall back upon her slender waist and black suit fits her well on the correct places by hugging her curves ; all the time orange dupatta is flying in air.

~~~~~~~~

Suddenly Riddhima feels conscious. The way this man looks at her makes her shy and confused! She is shy because this utterly handsome man is busy in checking her out and confusingly it doesn't disgust her like other times but it flutters her heart. What's happening to her. She has never felt like this for any man then what's the feeling?

Amidst of all, the kid breaks the tension between the couple with his feeble and emotional voice : "Momma....momma..I'm youl(your) baby..what ale(are) you doing hele(here) by libing(leaving) papa and me at home? Chee(see) today I hab(have) goth(got) a cut hele(here)....it ich paining vely(very) much momma!"

"MOMMA?" - only word comes out of her mouth and her expression is horrible. Vansh has been in trance till now but the voice of Ridhvik makes him conscious and as Tanya has been beside him so she has listened perfectly what he says by seeing HER - "SWEETHEART!"

Tanya gets confused with this father-son duo ; her mind gets busy in thinking why these two are behaving as if THEY ARE FAMILIAR TO RIDDHIMA? As the thing hits her, she looks at them in surprise. The man who is the most rich buisness tycoon of this country will not refer some random person as 'sweetheart' ; moreover, the kid is innocent to think of such plan! Is there something hidden to look for?

Tanya's thinking gets halted when Riddhima comes forward with the antiseptic lotion in her hand and tries to say she is not her mother : "Baby, I'm not your...."

But before she could complete, baby Ridhvik springs on her arms forgetting his cut. And in this process he feels the pain and hisses a little ; he cries in pain, Riddhima feels like she has got the wound and quickly takes him in her lap and starts to soothe his pain by uttering sweet nothings : "Baby, please don't move or it will hurt you more..(Ridhvik winces much to her worry and she blames herself)..uff! Is it paining too much baby, don't worry MOMMA is there for you!"

Saying this she quickly kisses on his head and sits on the couch by taking Ridhvik on her lap. Unknown to her, she has just referred herself as the MOTHER of Ridhvik.

Vansh is sitting beside Riddhima and busy to look at her. The way she is caring for THEIR BABY reminds him of the past. And in watching her alive and close to him like past, he forgets the fact Riddhima hasn't even talked to him ; he is just following her every actions silently. The kid is looking at his mother and has forgot of his pain. In this process Riddhima has applied the cream and injected to his tender skin.

Tanya is busy in following Riddhima because as a doctor she has done this with many kids but why this time it's different. While applying lotion on her cut, the way she is showing expression it seems like she has got the wound. And it happens when a mother feels her children to get hurt ; then is her speculation right or she is overthinking? And if she clearly remembers then Riddhima herself has accepted to be Ridhvik - this boy's mother! In tension, her veins are going to burst when she gets a call so she goes towards the balcony to take it.
