VANSH'S POV-
Just a moment ago I was chuckling seeing the childishness of my little wife and at the next moment she was hugging me very tightly with her one hand as other is injured ,just in her undergarments. I can hear she is murmuring something with closed eyes and has gripped my shirt tightly in one hand, I am going to hug her back right then and there but I controlled myself as I don't want to take advantage of her this condition. I then put my one hand on his head and rub it there trying to console her.
"Shhh Ridhima, it's just a lizard, it will go after sometime by herself only. Don't stress out please as it is not good for you right now" I told her while rubbing her hairs but she is adamant, Ohh god this girl is always afraid from this little creature from the beginning only. She is vigorously shaking her head with closed eyes and in between this she felt a sharp pain in her arms as she hissed in pain and moved backwards.
" Don't act like child Ridhima, see the lizard is also gone now and for god sake just don't stress yourself it is not good for your health." I said as calmly as I can and again she starts to look at me with her that big shell shape brown orbs.
"Y..You are caring about me just because you got to know the t..truth, Right? By chance If still you didn't know the whole truth then you will be b..blaming me that I have taken bullet just to show how grateful I am, Didn't you"? She said it while shuttering and I closed my eyes and let out and exhausted sigh because I was preparing myself for her this question from morning, honestly I don't know what to say because she is right I have never been able to see her good side until I got to know the whole truth.
"Listen Ridhima, saying honestly I know I am such a fool back then to punish you without any reason and not to find out the real truth and believing what I see. But please believe me I had done that everything in misunderstanding, you also believe na that your Vansh will never doubt you and for real I have never doubted you. Even at that time when Ragini said that you pour that oil on the floor I didn't believe her, but at that day when poison is given to Ragini there was no one in the house not even asha tai. At that time I am blinded by the love of Ragini therefore I thought that maybe you have done this as my marriage has becoming barrier between our friendship and I was not able to give you and our other friends enough time. But at that time I didn't know that it was Ragini only who is doing all this and framing you and blinded by my love I can't see anything more than that. Please Ridhima, just for once give me one chance to repent all my mistakes, I know I had done a very very big mistake by not trusting you but please just for once give me a chance to enter in your life once again. Your Vansh again needs you, he will be broken without you." I said it all by keeping my both hands on her cheeks and taking my face close to her as much as possible. For some moments she has just kept her eyes close, after sometimes she opens it and look in my eyes.
" Did you give me that chance? Did you even give me the chance to at-least keep my words in-front of you? You just give the judgement without even listening to my side of story and start to hate me, are you with me when I needed you the most or when I am broken? I believe that by this time you have got to know that I loved you back then, but you know what more than loving you I have believed you that no matter whatever happens but my Vansh will never hurt me, my Vansh will always stand with me in any situation no matter what. Even till the date I believed you, I believed that as you have loved Ragini by the depth of your heart therefore you are hating me thinking that I snatched her away from you and at some depth of my heart I am happy thinking that not me but at-least you love some girl in your life to the fullest. Even I didn't knew the truth of Ragini till today, I got to know about her when you said me but that doesn't mean that I was hating Ragini in the past. I always wanted your happiness and If you are happy with Ragini and not with me then also I will accept it as your happiness lies in it even if it will hurt me every time I will take breath. Do you even know that I still loved you back when you hate me to the core and insulted me each and every time from the time you married me because I believed in you that one day, if you think me of murderer you will see the kindness inside me and will forgive me. At that day it's okay if you don't love me back but at-least you will come back in my life as my best friend and in that hope till today I bear each and every abusive word you tell me. Day by day you hate increases but I am adamant to be with you and Rohan and therefore with a smile I accept everything but you broke me into pieces slowly slowly every time. On the first night when you said that I am not allowed to share bed with you, even to enter the room when you are awake that thing broke my heart a little but I accepted it, then you said that nobody outside the family knows that I am your wife it broke my heart a little more but I accepted it as my fate, then you said me that I am characterless as I am having an affair with Kabir that broke something inside me but I accepted it silently thinking that it's just you anger and once you will cool down you will come back to me. There are so many incidents even I will forget number if I will count, all of them daily broke me into small small pieces even without my knowing. But do you know what broke me completely is that day when you addressed me as just an caretaker of Rohan that is also okay with me but when you said me an gold digger and what not at that time I broke completely. From that day I have decided that from now on I am just a caretaker of Rohan and wife of yours in-front of family but in personal we both are completely strangers. Even at that day I has decided to not sleep with you in the same room but as Rohan insisted today to sleep with both of us and I don't want others to know about real truth I am here standing just in my undergarments in-front of you. You know what Vansh beside loving you I always believed you but at that day you broke my love and belief both that I had for you. Now please don't expect me to be the same Ridhima that I was 3 years ago because the lady who is standing in-front of you is now just an statue who is fulfilling all her duties and nothing more. I am really sorry but I will not be able to be with you and give the same love to you because now I am tired of each and everything around me, and In this state I think that I will not be the same as I was." She completed all this and all I could do is to bend my head downwards as I am ashamed of all my doing that I had done with Ridhima.
"Ridhima I know that It will be very difficult for you to believe me and in love again, but I want to say you one thing whether you believe it or not. I will try each and everyday with the depth of my heart to bring that cheerful smile on your face again which is lost because of me, I will try to make you believe in love and me again and I promise that I will convert all your sufferings into happiness and all your tears into smile which is caused by me. But please just don't hate me Ridhima or else I will not be able to handle it, just give me one chance to correct my mistakes and I promise that you will not get any chance to complain." I said while sitting on my knees in-front of her as I don't want to lose my lady just because of the mistake I made in past. I am eagerly waiting for her reaction or any answer, after sometime she makes me stand with her one hand and then by wiping her tears she spoke
"I never hated you Vansh, even when you termed me a gold digger, but it's just the fact that my belief from you started to elope. I don't think so that I will be the same ever after this because already now I am broken into the pieces so please don't waste your time in trying anything. I will be with you but then also I will be 1000 miles away from you, in-front off family I will be your wife but in personal never expect me to be the same again. I never hated you and never will hate you but just the difference is that now our paths are different, I am just mother to Rohan but not your wife so don't try to mend me. I am okay as I am." Ridhima said and at this time I am felling one of the unluckiest person alive on the earth, but all the mistakes are of mine. Right now Ridhima is angry as well as her anger is justified. But I will not lose the hope Ridhima, I will try and will make you love me once again like you used to do.
"Okay Ridhima, I will never force you to do anything but also you will never stop me from doing my attempts to repent my mistakes. At the end it will always be your choice to choose whatever you want to do because from now Vansh Rai Singhania will not leave any stone uttered to make his wife love him once again, In the past you believed that I will come back and your love will win,but now I believe that my love will win and you will come back to me. So from now on there is not any secrets between us, everything and everyone's face are clearly visible so no more hating-loving game, instead there will be only love and happiness in your life." I said with new energy sparkling in my eyes as I know that I had made many mistakes but instead of becoming sad it will be okay If I corrects it by myself and win her back. In reply she just nods her head and look at other direction where mirror is placed and I also looked there and our eyes meet once I came behind her. Both of us was lost in each other's eyes and I am thinking about all the good memories that we had created in the past, Ridhima is also looking at me with unknown emotion in her eyes and suddenly she coughs and our eye contact broke.
It was then when we realised that in the heat of the moment we didn't notice that in what condition Ridhima is standing from many minutes. I noticed that instantly Ridhima cheeks burned up and became pink and she looks in another direction due to shyness, and I also turned away my gaze from her as maybe it will be discomforting for her. I hurriedly take her nightgown from the rack and made her wear it while looking in other direction, thank god her nightgown is made up of two piece, one inner which is sleeveless and therefore is easy to wear. I the. Washed her face with warm water and applied moisturiser on her face. After making her ready for the bed I noticed that she was having pain in her upper arm so I pick her up in the arms and as usual at first she was shocked by my act, then I put her on the bed and give her medicine that doctors has prescribed. I knew from college days that she hates to take medicine and therefore I myself was sitting before her and I myself put the medicines in her her mouth though she was making faces at the name of taking medicine. Then I make her lay on the bed and went in the bathroom to change my clothes. I freshen up and when I came I noticed that my little wife is fast asleep maybe it is effects of her high dosage medication. I put one kiss on her forehead and after that I also slept while hugging her from the stomach and departs for the day.
I opened my eyes and the first thing that came in my view was the cute pout that my wifey has on her mouth while she is asleep, and some bangs are disturbing her sleep so she is making faces in sleep. I let out an hearty laugh seeing her childishness and after moving her hair asid I put one kiss on her forehead in response to which she gives a beautiful smile. I slowly make my way towards the bathroom without waking up mother son duo as both of them need much rest from past days. Right now I have only one important thing and it is to find out that bastard who shot Ridhima. After getting fresh and wearing my clothes I make my way downstairs.
"Where is Ridhima and Rohan, Vansh?" Asked Chachi while taking the tea cup from the table.
"Both of them are sleeping and I didn't think to wake them up as they need rest for some days" I replied while taking my seat beside Dad.
"Is this Rai Singhania home?" We all move our head to the direction of the voice and she is revealed to be the lady in her 30's. Mom said yes and welcome her in the house.
"I am Shivaniya, I came from City hospital as I am informed that you need one nurse for some days" that lady informed with sweet smile.
"Yes, actually my daughter in law was shoot and right now she doing well but until she recovers and the time we are here in the village it is your duty to take care of her." Mom replied to which she nod her head with a gentle smile and asked about whereabout of Ridhima, Shanta guide her to our room and she said that if Ridhima is awake then she will change her dressing .
"Vansh, I think that as now our work is completed in the village so once Ridhima gets better we all should move back to city as our company also needs our attention now." Dad said while drinking his morning tea.
"Yes dad, within 4-5 days we will leave don't worry about the office as I already had informed Kartik to look at all work over there and give me each and every information about the work daily." I replied and signalled Angrey and Aryan with my eyes to come with me in the garden and then Three of us make our way in the garden.
"Did you complete your work Angrey that I gave to you yesterday or you still need some time till evening ?" I asked Angrey with raised eyebrows.
"Yes boss, I completed it till morning only. Boss see this photo, I was checking each and every photo that our photographer has taken but I didn't find anything in it. Then I thought to check the photos that our family members are taking in phone in hope to get some clue. And then finally in one photograph taken by Ishani, I found this weird person who doesn't seem like a villager in the background and my doubt was proved right that this is not an villager when I enquired about him in the village." Replied Angrey while handling me the pictures of that night.
"That's great Angrey,did you find any other information about this person?" I asked in hope to get some clue so we can find him easily.
"Yes boss, I zoomed this picture but I am not able to see his face as it is covered but if you see on his neck, then very fine tattoo has been made of snake. And we already know that which of our rivals has this.."
"Chang, I got it Angrey that Chang has made this tattoo on all of his team members's neck, and this means that attack was planned by the Chang only. I have warned you last time Chang to stay away from my family otherwise consequences will not be okay for you, but you choose other option. No worries as now I am back and this time you will not forget that what happens when you go against Vansh Rai Singhania." I said even before Angrey completes as I know that only Chang has made snake tattoos on all of his team members neck as a symbol of unity, really Chang has done a very big mistake by doing rivalry with me, but I will make sure go teach him a very very good lesson that he will never forget till his last breath and will not even try to look at my family.
"Angrey you have done very good job, now you have to find each and every information about this nurse which has came for Ridhima, her experience, her family background everything, not even an single detail should be missed because I don't want to risk Ridhima's life anymore. Till evening get me everything." I informed Angrey to which he nods and makes his way to complete the given task. Me and Aryan also after doing some discussion makes our way inside the home to see our beautiful wife.
