Taking a deep breath, riddhima opened the door of her room
Walking around the mansion like a corpse, she reached infront of his door
Knocking it, she waited for him to open it
As soon as the door opened, she blurted out helplessly
R: IAM READY
Riddhima looked on as everything changed by her single decision
She was actually shocked how aryan handled the situation
He had smoothly proved infront of the media that riddhima being his wife was forced to sabotage vansh's conference because vansh's enemies had held her husband (aryan) captive and if she had refused, they would have killed him
And just like that all the humiliations, insults and accusations died out
Even though people outside the mansion were put to rest but a havoc was stirred inside the mansion
Countless accusations and dirty looks at her
But he didn't back out
He stood as a shield and decided to leave the mansion and all the property
JUST FOR HER
No doubt a fear arose in her heart that what if he tried to force her after they left the mansion
But the respect he bestowed her with made her heart flutter
Despite having a playboy nature, he slept on the floor giving her all the space on the single bed that they could afford
It is said right, time change everything
From owning a single room flat to a beautiful house
Life had been difficult for them both but somehow it didn't felt that much difficult
They had decided to continue this marriage for one year and then part their ways so as to keep people from starting their nonsense again
And today was the last day of the deal
Flashback end:
A: tomorrow
We part our waysAryan said while choking on his words
A: do...do u want to leave??
He asked with teary eyes full of hope
Riddhima kept staring at him before finally letting her guards down
Tip toeing, she leaned forward and placed her lips over his
Placing her head over his naked chest, she smiled feeling him run his fingers in her hair
A: you will always be by my side na riddhima
Riddhima parted her lips to say something when the bell rang
Confused as to who could visit them , both hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed towards the door
Aryan stood rooted to his spot as he saw vansh going down on his knees confessing his love and guilt
Apologising profuselyApparently sia has gained consciousness after a long one year and revealed how riddhima had been innocent all this while
Aryan's inside churned
What type of love requires proof of loyalty
Doesn't love itself means trust and compassion
A compassion to protect their partner, not shove them in darkness and hell
Holding vansh's hand, riddhima made him stand up
R: thank u
Vansh and aryan looked at her confused
R: thank u for bringing ahana in our lives
Thank u for making her attack me
Thank u for asking me the price of my love
Thank u for leaving me alone in manali
Thank u for announcing ahana as your wife
Thank u for calling me a stranger and a mental case infront of the whole world
Thank u for burning my stuff, my memories with you
Thank u for everything
Because maybe if you wouldn't have done all that
I would have never realised what true love really meant
Ek waqt tha jab mene khud kaha tha
Ishq kurbani mangta hai
Ishq sukoon bhi hai or maut bhi ishq he hai
Par woh sach nhi tha
Ishq kurbani nhi mangta, ishq kurbani deta hai
Ishq andhere main nhi dhakelta, ishq andhere se nikalta hai
Ishq beech main sath nhi chor deta, ishq sath deta hai
Ishq woh hai
Jo meri ankhon ke samne khara hai
riddhima said lovingly eying aryan
Indeed it was all destiny's game
And after all the hell she went through
Destiny finally bestowed riddhima with the peace she deserved
The end
