A Broken Frame

||Part : Twelve||

With an irritation, Vansh looks at them with narrowed eyes : Couldn't you people come little late? All are enemy of my romance! Uff..Sweetheart, let's go to our room.

Angre widens his eyes at his boss cum bestfriend's madness. While Siya opens her mouth and taunts him : Okay I get it! As you've got your sweetheart, you get busy to bring your little version too .. as it seems! (by seeing Riddhima's neck)

Riddhima blushes hard when Vansh thinks to embarrass her more : My baby will come soon if you people don't disturb our special moment like this.

Seeing him unstoppable and not being embarassed at all, she cuts the taunting in between and with a smile welcomes all like a perfect owner of the house making Vansh proud of her : Let's take a seat and have your breakfast. Here take this prasad..you people could talk later also.

Soon all settle themselves and enjoy her cooking for the first time. After breakfast, Angre tells them how Vansh has decided to hurry, hiding the part of close enemy.

But Siya, Ishani, Ahana and Aryan pout. Vansh asks to know as it's their dear Riddhima bhabhi's 'first kitchen' ritual but they haven't brought any gift. If they have been aware of it, then Riddhima wouldn't have to feel sad. Riddhima tries to interfere but Kabir says off : Let's arrange a honeymoon package for them. All cheer up when Vansh says to keep that pending as he is too busy with projects now. They make faces but Vansh promises to ask them according to his time.

When there is a happy atmosphere in the hall, two people are raging in anger inside. Outside they're smiling and joking. Kiara vows to grab Riddhima's happiness for herself and messages someone to meet her next day at nearby cafe.

While the man is closing and opening his fists under the table to control his anger. Seeing love bites on Riddhima's neck and her shy smile, he wants to kill that Vansh a thousand times.

However, it's good that from last day Neha hasn't come home for once. Their friends bid them bye after spending their time here. Even Vansh is at home today to give Riddhima a 'passionate' company.

~~~~~~~~

With lots of kisses and making love a numerous times, the day ends with a good note. Next morning after breakfast, Vansh leaves his biwi at home with a happy smile, unknown to the black cloud waiting for them outside.

As Vansh leaves, Riddhima gets busy in arranging THEIR ROOM in a new way, according to her taste. Meanwhile, Ramu Kaka goes to market and asks her to come and close the door.

~~~~~~~~

With Ramu Kaka's departure, a lady smirks. Sitting inside the car, wearing a black shade ; she dialls a number and orders something. Cutting the call, she whispers : Neha is strict to her plan as like my boy, Vansh..what he thinks by marrying he could stop the attacks..no! Because I'll kill his "sweetheart" from his house only and he will have no idea of it! With her leaving this world, he will be too lost to think of property and I'll be the sole owner of it.

With that she smiles evilly. And soon a group of goons enter inside the VR Mansion by making the gate keepers unconscious. They have been hiding for long and waiting for Neha's sign. Soon they get inside and push the main door to enter the hall.

~~~~~~~~

She takes two minutes approx to go and close the door. But to her surprise, the door is being pushed from opposite side and she fells back inside. She looks up to get shocked as a group of men are standing at door step and looking at her lustily. Sweat starts to form on her forehead.

|End of Flashback|

Suddenly Riddhima looks at her front to find his hand trembling. She has come to give him prasad of Laxmi puja but seeing his trembling hands, she looks at her face and gets worried. Giving the plate to the priest, she holds him tightly and shakes a little which breaks his reverie.

He looks down at HER face to find that older version of Riddhima again. Getting concerned, she makes him seated and gives a little water. By wiping his sweaty forehead with her saree pallu, she asks : What happened to you suddenly? If something happens to you then HOW WILL I LIVE, Vansh?

Saying she starts to cry. She doesn't know what she is speaking. All laugh at the sweet couple while a little figure wraps his arms around his waist and sobs : Papa....what hapind(happened) to my dadda? .. momma chee(see) naah!

Vansh wipes his tears quickly and takes him in his embrace and holds Riddhima's hand : Nothing happened to papa..see papa is fine, baby! It's just I've thinking something..now wipe your tears and ask your momma not to worry much.

Ridhvik smiles happily and asks : Tlue (true)? Vansh nods his head while Ridhvik looks at his momma : Momma..no cly(cry) okay? Papa ich(is) phine(fine).

All smile at the little baby and his sweetness. However, they return for hotel when Riddhima is bearing Ridhvik and not giving to Vansh for a minute also.

After getting into hotel, Riddhima forces him to lay down while Ridhvik is not agreeing to leave his papa. So Riddhima lays Ridhvik down beside his papa and she herself settles beside him. Keeping her back against the head board she starts to rub Ridhvik's back and gets into thought : Why she has been so stressed seeing HIM unwell? Why her heart has been paining at HIS pain? Which relation they do have? And why this little baby brings out the mother side in her? It has never happened to her! And why the baby always call her momma..even she loves to listen that from him! Is there anything she is not able to remember?
