A Broken Frame

||Part : Twelve||

Next morning Riddhima's eyes get open with the alarm sound and closes the alarm. Separating him from her with lots of struggle, she climbs down from the bed to hiss. Somehow she reaches to bathroom and takes bath to feel less painful there.

After a comfortable bath, she comes out wearing a red saree and stands before the mirror. Wearing HIS MOTHER'S jewelleries which Vansh has given last day, she wears her marrital signs. Smiling at herself, she takes the gajra(jasmine flower) and keeps it beautifully on her bun. She remembers how last day after marriage when they have been returning from temple, he has bought gajra for her knowing she loves it very much.

With a perfect married woman look, she comes out of the room when her eyes meet the wall clock. Her eyes widen as today she has a lot to do.

Going downstairs, she starts to prepare food for her 'pehla rasoi' and asks Ramu Kaka to bring some puja essentials. As there is no house temple or deity so she needs all. Last day the storm has destroyed her plan to visit the market. As today is laxmi puja so she couldn't skip it.

Soon within two hours Kaka reaches with her ordered things when she has finished cooking. Placing them neatly on table, she goes to the room attached with drawing room and places Maa Laxmi's deity there. Soon the decoration is done by Riddhima with the help of Kaka.

Getting up from a peaceful slumber, Vansh looks at his sides to find no sign of Riddhima. Even she is absent from the room. Thinking she is downstairs, he gets up to find a patch of blood on bed sheet, reminding him of their union last night. Last night both have marked each other now none could get succeed to seperate them.

Thinking to get fresh first, he will go to bathroom when his eyes fall on the orange kurta placed on the table for him. Thinking it's her choice Vansh smiles and goes to take bath.

As soon he gets ready by combing and spiking his hair and spreading some perfume on his body, he goes downstairs. But he gets astonished yet nostalgic to find the puja room decorated like before. The way she has become ready reminds him of his maa. However, he goes and sits beside her making her smile big. Soon both do the puja and ask blessing from God for whole life's togetherness.

At the early morning, the gang reaches to VR Mansion thinking to do breakfast here only. But from the entrance they could listen aarti ; they feel confused 'puja' in VR Mansion at this early morning? Who is doing puja..Neha? It's eighth wonder of the world, they think! While Angre is tensed knowing soon a news blast is going to happen.

However, they get inside to drop their mouth in astonishment. There Riddhima is busy to place the plates correctly on table when Vansh is hugging her from back and placing some kisses on her shoulder plane. But what attracts them is their attire. Riddhima is looking as a newly wed bride in red saree with sindoor, mangalsutra and gajra in hair while Vansh too is wearing a kurta.

With a serious face they get close when Vansh gives his sweetheart a fresh hickey on her shoulder. She moans a little but seeing footwears on the floor, she looks up to meet a group of people. With shyness and embarrassment, she covers her back ; seeing her blush and love bites on her neck, they could imagine the rest picture. Ishani and Siya screeches their throat a little to inform Vansh of their presence as he is till now in state of her addiction. But their voice makes him aware of another people's presence too.
