Beautiful Dilemma (The Untold Story)

Chapter 11

"....You know what Riddhima..." Seeing the terribly failed lady in front, Kabir continued revealing his true self, ".....mujhe kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki mere andar ek rakshas hai, aur yeh kalyug hai, yaha toh rakshas ka vadh karne ke liye bhagwaan bhi nhi aane wala...." she simply looked down, "....Riddhima ab jab tum yeh chakravyuh to tod hi nhi sakti ho..." Kabir continued, "....toh isse apni kismat maan k, isse samjhota kar lo. Kyunki agar tumne iss chakravyuh ko todne ki koshish bhi ki, toh sirf khoon bahega...." Kabir warned making Riddhima stuttered on her place. Her feet gave in and she knelt down then and there.

No, she can't let her family get hurt. It's her family, a family whom she promised to cherish life long, "...Kiska bahega, kaun marega, kise chot lagegi, yeh main nhi jaanta. Lekin khoon bahega zaroor...." The sharp warning glint in his eyes shivered her to core, "....aur issi parivar ka khoon bahega aur uski zimmedaar sirf tum hogi.

"No Kabir. Please" Riddhima managed to plead breaking out of her shock bubble.

Giggling Kabir stated, "Riddhima tum meri puri sacchai janti ho, lekin ek baar bhi socha, zinda kyun ho tum?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows, while moving down to her level, "....Kyunki tumne mujhse kabhi beintehaa pyar kiya tha, aur main sacche pyar ki kadar karna jaanta hun...." He added making Riddhima look away in disgust, "....Isiliye toh tumhe ghar se nhi phikwaya..." Kabir then held her cheeks, supported by this thumb and index finger, ,".....Ho toh anath hi na, aur ab tum vidhwa bhi. Jaaogi kaha?" He added in pity. Yanking her cheeks, Kabir then left humming a happy tune.

"Boss Aap sure ho?" Asked Aangre walking alongside Vansh.

"Absolutely" replied Vansh and then pulled up his mask firmly on his nose.

"Matlab? Aapne Riddhima bhabhi ko maaf kar diya?" He asked in dilemma, which stopped Vansh in tracks.

"Maine aisa toh nhi kaha" Vansh objected.

"Main kuch samjha nhi..." Aangre added, "...Agar aapne Riddhima bhabhi ko maaf nhi kiya toh Vihaan ka get up lene ka kya matlab hai?" He asked, "....Aap directly aise hi jaa sakte hai aur unhe charge kar sakte hai" He expressed his confusion when a sharp glare from his Boss made him look down immediately.

"Aangre mujhe apni biwi ke saath kya karna hai, nhi karna hai yeh main decide karunga...." Vansh snapped out, ".....Ussey charge karna hai yaa pyaar se samjhana hai, yeh meri problem hai" he asserted and Aangre nodded his head in shame.

"Sorry Boss" he muttered apologetically.

"Last chance toh main apne gunhegaaro ko bhi deta hoon Aangre.." gritting his teeth Vansh continued, "....phir Riddhima toh meri humsafar hai...." He added in a much soft voice, *.....Ussey to main hazar mauke dene ke liye tayiyaar hoon, bas meri jaan mujhe sab kuch sach bata de* Vansh prayed in his heart as they continue walking to their destination. 

*Yeh dono pati patni se chakkar mein ek din main pagal ho jaunga. Ek Kabhi gussa karte hai, toh kabhi pyaar karte hai, toh dusra, kabhi bachati hai toh kabhi phasa deti hai* Taking baby steps, Aangre pressed his forehead lightly, thus pursing his lips.

"Kya soch rahe ho Aangre?" Vansh asked noticing his slow steps.

"Haa?" Aangre immediately snapped out of the his wonderland, " uhh....agar Riddhima bhabhi guilty hui toh?" He asked making Vansh come to an immediate halt.
