She gaze at his sleepy form.His jaws always set,eyes always throwing daggers,lips light pink..Wait a minute when she started noticing him?

She herself not know why she said that to him or why want them to be perfect couple.She had nothing in her life to be called perfect.

And where does love come between them??Her life is getting complicated as days are passing.

She is feeling herself like a wandering soul -her life is not staying at one point.At one moment all well and at the other again back on difficulties-track- She is not at peace.She want her life to be like other married women and She Will!!!!She had taken the risk of love before and she had failed then but now she will take the risk again and may be now she will succeed.Its had been her fantasy and now she will live it.


She sighed tiredly.Softly she held his hand and kept it under her face and slept off..

She sat beside him in the car and smile seeing Ryan and Vani sitting at back.But Vani didnt smile at her.She looked down dejectedly.She had no idea how suddenly Vani changed her behavior towards her.

Any how she turn to her husband who was groaning.Knowing well the reason she just shrug her shoulder.She moved closer to him and whisper"Arman stop being jealous"

In response his hold on steering wheel tighten.But he didnt speak.Riddhima/Shilpa look at back seat to see if kids were watching them.But they were playing.She lean on him and slowly move her hand from his shoulder to his hold on wheel.



His posture calm a bit but still rigid.He grunted and speaks"I dont like his friendship with you.I just hate him"


Riddhima/Shilpa hold his hold and speaks calmly"You dont need to be jealous of him I can never leave and you know that well"

He look down at her ,hazel eyes met the dark brown intense eyes"Neither will I let you".

She shuddered at the intensity of his words...



*********

Urgh again Alo gobhi I hate it.Cant you once make good food Riddhima/Shilpa Mama"Vani complained as she throw the plate.


Riddhima/Shilpa look at her helplessly "But last day you says to marry to cook this.I specially made this for you"


Vani glare at her and say"Oh please stop mentioning your favor.When actually it is not your favor.For this my father marry you"


"Vani!!"Arman roared"You are becoming rude day by day"

Hearing arman loud voice tear clouds vani eyes.She turn to her father "YOU ONLY LISTEN TO HER NOT ME.AM I NOT YOUR DAUGHTER"

Riddhima/Shilpa signals arman to calm down.He calms a bit and standing by side vani he caressed her head and ask"Vani what is happening my baby doll.Why are you angry"

Vani pouts at her father and says in a meek voice"Riddhima/Shilpa mama cook only what she likes.She dont care for me and you to.You only play with ryan.She and that son of your snatch you away from me"

Riddhima/Shilpa silently took Ryan with her to their room while Arman sat by Vani.

"Vani my dear Riddhima/Shilpa is your mother and Ryan your brother.Who says I dont care for you.You are my baby doll..My lovely daughter who told me I dont love you"


Vani look down"You dont love.She told me that you only love Riddhima/Shilpa mama and Ryan but not me"

Arman look at her astonished and ask "Who she?..and Vani you r becoming bad.Who is Riddhima/Shilpa and Ryan Your own mother and brother"

Vani glare him and cried "She is not my mother nor her son is my brother.She is right you only love them"


"Vani stop" Arman try to stop vani who run to her room crying.Who is she?He thought..



*******

Riddhima/Shilpa make Ryan sleep.She heard the door opening and arman entering.She asked as arman sat beside her "How is Vani.Her behavior drastically change in few weeks"

Arman look at worried face of Riddhima/Shilpa and says"I am myself amazed at this.Riddhima/Shilpa some one is putting this in Vani's mind.I guess we need to pay attention to vani"

Arman forward his hands and held Riddhima/Shilpa hand tightly,He saw earnestly"Riddhima/Shilpa Vani is the last sing of Siddhi.Please take extra care of of vani"

Riddhima/Shilpa just stare at his face extra care of Vani?Did he mean he is not taking care of Vani.She quietly take her hand of his grip and lay on her side of her bed.Arman felt the side of bed deepen .He turn and look at Riddhima/Shilpa who was laying with her back towards him.

He too lay beside her and slightly moving his hand on her arms asked"What happen Riddhima/Shilpa ?Are you angry"

Riddhima/Shilpa didnt say anything.She grasp the sheath to stop the muffle cry escape her mouth.Tears flows down her eyes.

Arman slightly jerk her and ask"What happen Riddhima/Shilpa ?"

Riddhima/Shilpa turn around and asked"Did you consider Vani my daughter or Siddhi?"

"Riddhima/Shilpa wat are you sa.."

Riddhima/Shilpa cut him in "Just answer"

Arman gaze at Riddhima/Shilpa tired face.In the last two years things has change in their life.They were living a very normal life but with vani changing behavior things are again becoming complex.

"Yes! Dont turn away Riddhima/Shilpa listen first.Yes I consider her siddhi's daughter but you have the equal or more right on her.Riddhima/Shilpa its I am tired of things happening.I want our life to be normal.But tensions in our life are not finishing.."

"Arman I am tired too.Vani behavior at one side angered me but on the side make me helpless.I had tired to rejoice everything but nothing work"

Both hug each other.they are their only solace"We have to make Vani and Ryan a better person fo that we have to over come complexities"

Riddhima/Shilpa nods as she plays with his shirts button"Arman we are getting..no not we you are getting old"

Arman smiles at her .She is unbelievable at one time she is sad but the next moment she is back on track"Oh really Mrs Mallik do you want proof of me being young"

Her cheeks flushed as she nods against his form...
