Chapter 45

“Even seasonal situations can bring with them lessons that last a lifetime.

If the love doesn’t last, it prepares you for the one that will.”

She kept looking at him with an unreadable expression on her face. Each moment that passed away with her silence he felt anxiety creeping in. Then after many moments of waiting with bated breath passed he heard the words which though were very familiar yet right now they were making him feel even more anxious and dread.

“Interesting very interesting”

These were the first words that came out of her mouth.

“You say you love me but this is not the first time you have proclaimed your love for me Vansh. How do I trust you this is not some twisted revenge on Kabir or me or someone else I am connected to once again? How do I trust this is not once again any twisted sick one of the many mind games of yours, how?”

She continued with her eyes fixed at his, own pair of two. Each word that came out of her, kept bringing in a sinking feeling inside him.

“Ri…Ri…Riddhima I really do love you. Trust me”

He insisted stuttering in a shaky voice with fear of what may arrive.

“That’s the problem Vansh I don’t trust you.”

She stated in a low voice stressing the word trust.

“Okay, fine you want me to trust you? So tell me Vansh in this game, the trap that you have been laying for this orphan, this fool, and what was that word oh right waif. So how did you fell in love with this waif who doesn’t fall for money and luxuries but the only thing she needed was love, hence, you showered love and care on her. Well done Vansh and see I reached exactly where you wanted me. Well done”

Riddhimaspoke while clapping her hands with tears-filled eyes. Eyes that also held pain and anger in them, complaining and accusing him of something, something he should know and remember a certain kind of wrong he did. The words she spoke sounded awfully familiar to him and slowly his eyes widened in realization making him take a step back stumbling. She knew. She was there. She heard. She knew was all he could think remembering that day.

Flashback

Angre: How is the planning going Bhai?

Vansh: Riddhima fell into our trap Angre

Angre: Such a fool she is! She is thinking you love her!

Vansh: Love and that orphan? Never, since day one I know Riddhima is working with Kabir. Kabir never loved Ragini. He used her to take revenge on me. I love Ragini. Ragini is mentally unstable because she learned the truth about Kabir. Ragini should be my Queen, but I kept her in a shady room and portraying as dead because I want her to be alive and safe. When I got to know Kabir lovesRiddhima, I felt I need her. I need to give the same pain. I felt Kabir would come to rescue Riddhima while I was playing her. But, Mrs D'Souza flopped everything and tried to kill me. That's when the whole plan changed. Riddhimais a girl who doesn't fall for money or luxuries. Being a waif, she needs love. So Vansh has showered with love and care. See today, where she is!

Angre: Amazing game Bhai.

Vansh: I told you Angre, to win something big we need to make the enemy feel like they are winning first. Art of war. Today, Riddhima trusts me. She loves me. She is protecting me from Kabir. Stupid girl!

Angre: Until when you will be doing this?

Vansh: I need to see Kabir in tears. Looks like, Riddhima didn't break up with him. But, once she does, I will confront him and will put a check to Kabir and Ridhima.

Angre: What are your plans for Riddhima, bhai?

Vansh: She will turn into another Ragini because of my betrayal. I hate cheaters and yet I'm cheating on her because she deserves it due to Kabir.

Flashback ends

She knew. He realized now makes sense why she was gone after that day suddenly without informing anyone beforehand. She knew that’s why the change in her behaviour after her return. She knew that’s why she was distant and detached and all along he just kept doing blunders up on one after another.

She knew and each time he just kept falling lower and lower. Every single time when he was lying through his teeth looking in her eyes he wasn’t fooling her but making a fool out of himself. Every time he was playing with her she saw right through his ploys. Every time he betrayed her she knew he was betraying her, Vansh lost in his thoughts that she knew.

“You say you love me. Tell me Vansh if I say Ragini never betrayed you and whatever she did was my plan to teach both you men Kabir and you and everyone who thought they could do just whatever the hell they want and get away with it. Would you still love me? Would you still love me Vansh if I say that since the day I returned back I have been playing my own game with you lot?”

She let the information for him to absorb in with that she went ahead disclosing everything she did, leaving nothing behind from that chip fiasco that got Aryan and Chachi caught to his arrest to Kailash’s arrest, to Anupriya and Kabir’sexpose to their arrest everything.

He was shocked. He was stunned failing to react. The emotional fool that he thought her to be and played with her taking them for a ride, at this moment those very emotions seem to be her strength rather than her weakness. It was rather he who was appearing to be one listening to her. A fool who was fooled by his own family and people for years and never doubted them. A fool who was blinded in love for his family on the contrary the woman in front of him not just realized and come to know of the true faces of the people around her before any serious damage could be done but also defeated everyone in their own game by playing it with them. A fool? No, she was innocent and naive which everyone took undue advantage of but certainly no fool she is. He thought with realization seeping in.

“What happened Vansh not feeling the love anymore?"

She asked with a sad chuckle looking at him and his silence.

"I agree that I came here as a spy. I am no saint. I have made my own set of mistakes but you know the difference here Vansh I was here because of manipulations, blatant lies, misguided many a times from your own family members; but you? You Vansh went into this knowingly well what you are doing and for what reasons. I was foolish and blinded in Kabir’s love to believe him and everything he said about you while you were vindictive enough that even after knowing well Kabir and his ways you dragged me in it like he wasn’t doing it already.

You had a past with him rather, a past which was very much in your present, are experienced with his ways and plays yet you want me to believe you did not know the possibility of him playing the same game with me which he played with Ragini? Talking about Ragini it wasn’t long before you were claiming your love for her, ready to divorce me and marry her moving on. After her supposed betrayal which she did on my instructions by the way you suddenly fell for me? How come? So because she rejected you in a way you came back to me and now expect me to accept you back in my life.

In a moment all that love for Ragini went puff just like the way you had claimed your love for me in the past. Now again you are declaring your undying love for me. Just, how fickle is your love Vansh? What’s the guarantee it won’t go away once again in the future? Or are you confusing rebound for love? If so, trust me I have no interest to be anyone’s rebound. That’s another level of insult altogether.”

She continued while those salty drops of water kept descending from his eyes. Hearing her he and his emotions seem so petty, so light, so casual, so dicey and whimsical with no depth in either him or his emotions. So little so small with every word of her was pricking through his heart.

“Sometimes I feel had it not been Kabir our paths may not have ever crossed with each other. I don’t know about you Vansh but I for sure do not want to remain in this for the namesake of a relation. I want the divorce and we both need a break from each other. It is what is best for us as of now. I can’t I don’t want to be with you. I want to leave.”

She added also letting known of her desire to leave.

Is it true? Had not Kabir been in the picture she wouldn’t have ever come into his life? He did not want to believe it but if yes then he would like to thank Kabir for it. Though at this moment her desire to go away had left him even more broken than he was already feeling

“The answer is no to your question Vansh and if you really love me as you claim to then let me go Vansh. Sign the divorce papers.”

The finality of her words broke whatever little hope he had in his heart if at all.

[Note: listen to this song from here on and the italics here would be flashbacks.]

(Music)

Leaving him to deal with his emotions she turned around and walks away with tears were falling from both of their eyes for some different and some similar reasons.

Your divorce is now final and approved. You two can go to your separate ways here on.

The doors of the gate were closed as she walked out of the house.

Zindagi iss pyaar mein jis rah chali

Memories kept flooding in the time on the cruise when she forwarded her hands towards him for a shake to thank him when he saved her from Aryan. if only he wasn't such a mule Vansh thought with a bitter chuckle escaping him with a single tear escaping his left eye. He saw her as she kept walking away after rejecting him.

Paayi hai uss rah mein ek band gaali

As she was walking away Riddhima remembered the day she resigned from her job only to see the front gates of VR Mansion being closed in a way also indicating the closing of a path and a life she knew of till that point of her life.

Dhadkanon ne toot ke hi saans li

Dard se dil ko rihayi na milli

Khamoshi kya kya bole

Mann bheega hole hole beh jaaye

Bin royeeeeee

Bin royeeeeee

She was sitting in the car looking outside of the window with her elbow resting on it while her face was resting on her arms. Looking at her Sejal remembered the day the divorce was finalized and done with how she broke in her arms outside the court away from everyone else’s eyes. In their little private moment, she finally let go of everything she held in back then.

Sejal put her hand on Riddhima’s shoulder. Turning around she hugged her and she cried, she cried out loud for herself, she cried for her relation, for her marriage that ended, she cried for her heart, she cried for the love she lost, the love which wasn’t true but for her, it was real, her love was real for that man and it hurts when something ends it always hurts. Hence, she cried till nothing was left inside her along the process bringing tears in eyes of Sejal.

Naina rehte hai kaahe aise khoye khoye

Bin royeeeeee

Bin royeeeeee

(Music)

Flashback

Aryan was sitting in his room and reminiscing the last words he had with Sejal it still pricks him but he knew they were all true.

“It's okay if I say so would be a lie but it was fun quite adventurous actually.”

Sejal replied with a playful smirk making a chuckle escape from Aryan.

“But seriously you looked like you saw a ghost when I mentioned proposing you. You should have seen your face.”

Aryan teased bumping his shoulders with her playfully.

“Huh”

Sejal rolled her eyes turning around to focus on her packing.

“On a serious note though what kind of guy would you like to have in your life.”

He asked her again observing her trying to gauge her thoughts and emotions from her face on the topic.

“Dude stop I am allergic to these things boys, love, relationships, etc.”

Sejal snapped at him now annoyed.

“Come on there must be something or you have secretly developed feelings for me?”

Aryan teased insistently with a half playful smile while she was still turned the other way round with her back facing him making Sejal snort wiping away his smile unbeknown to her.

“Dude you are far away from the kind of guy I would ever want. I would like someone who I could respect. Someone who is his own person and an individual personality, someone who could take a stand for what is right even if it is against his mother instead of blindly following her wishes without considering that even if it is right or not what his mother desires.

You, my friend sadly are someone who accomplice with your mom in her wrongdoings. It’s parents' responsibility to bring children on the right path if they do wrong but if parents are at the wrong even children can take the needed steps to stop them and make them realize their follies.

No offence man but whatever you have done to date somewhere is to acquire your brother Vansh’s hard-earned money instead had you earned something on your own no matter how minimal or huge I would have respected you and that money would have been more valuable than something you got without making efforts because that money would have been the result of your hard work, efforts and something earned, obtained with honesty.”

Sejal stated lost in her thoughts with her back turned on him oblivious to the eyes that moistened up at her words.

It was strange no one had ever rejected him like that ever without malice but just stating some facts. Technically she didn’t even reject him, just answered a question of his in a discussion started by him, and yet he felt rejected like never before. Not that he had been ever beside Riddhima but that was a completely different case. Never had he felt like a failure like he was feeling in this moment.

She wasn’t wrong when she used to call him a loser isn’t that what he is? At least that’s how he is been feeling at this moment. No surname or money of his family that comes with the surname impressed her while that had been the case with all the girls he had engaged with in the past with any kind of romantic or platonic relationship. Whereas the mere surname of his had been enough for women in his past to flock around him she was far from all that. No wonder she is Riddhima’s best friend. Aryan thought with a pensive smirk at the realization.

Sejal started turning noticing it Aryan quickly whipped his eyes and turned on a bored and uninterested look on his face hiding any traces of his emotions and thoughts.

“Anyway, I never really had any much dreams like that regarding a life partner, and after what happened with Ridzi I have lost faith in all that rubbish altogether.”

Sejal turned around and finished with a bitter smile on her face.

Guess Riddhima is not the only one who got affected by the betrayals she received. He thought looking at her with her words hanging over his head.

With a smirk playing on her face she forwarded her right hand forward towards him for a handshake.

“Well, mister Aryan Rai Singhania it was fun bullying you though I must add you were no less.”

She said with a smirk when Aryan took her hand for a handshake with proud a half-mile and a nod of his head.

“Good luck with your future.”

She wished him with a genuine smile

“Good luck to you too.”

Aryan returned with an awry lopsided smile.

Flashback ends

Coming to the present a sad half-smile was playing there on his face while a thoughtful look was still on his face.

Ishq rog banta gaya

Jaise dum nikalta gaya reeee…

She remembered as the iron gate of the mansion was closed as she walked out of the house as if a chapter of her life had been closed.

Sitting in the taxi once again getting lost in her thoughts with tears forming in her eyes.

Kabir, will you marry me?

Can you go near my enemy for me?

Marry him Riddhima.

Khwahishon ke kanton pe dil

naange paanv chalta gaya reeeee

She remembered the time when she walked on those broken glasses for the man who was just playing with her the realization was making her breathless making her ask to stop the car.

Phir dhul yaadon se udi

Saaye juda lagne lage

Ridhima is also a pawn like Ragini.

Love and that orphan? Never.

She will turn in to another Ragini because of my betrayal.

The words and images flooded in her mind making her feel suffocated.

Aur kirchiyaan ban aaeine

Abb haanth mein chubhne lage

Vansh was sitting at the bar in the house holding his glass with her images reflecting in it making him break it not being able to handle the pain. The glass pieces pierced in his palm and causing blood to flow out.

Ek naam jo dil dohraye

Dukh paaye hosh gawaye seh jayee

He remembered the day he was shot and she took a bullet for him. The tears flowed at the realization of what he lost.

Bin royeeeeee

Bin royeeeeee

Hardening up he stopped himself from crying and from tears to flow, though the pain in his eyes could not be hidden.

Naina rehte hai kaahe aise khoye khoye

Bin royeeeeee

Bin royeeeeee

They were on the marine line. Riddhima was looking up with empty eyes lost.

Chaaon ki dua ke sile

Phalte andhere mile reeee

Khaab jo mile aankhon ko

Neend ke lutere mile reee ae ae aeee

The dreams she had, had turned her life into such a mess. Dreams of love and family. Those dreams gave them a chance to play with her then there were dreams that they showed to her that took away her sleep for numerous nights.

Koi chot hai koi zakham hai

Har pal bani ek aas mein

Kyun pyaar se nafrat na ho

Jeena agar hai pyaas mein

How would she move ahead from this without doubting every other man who is going to come into her life proclaiming any amount of feelings for her she did not know?

Sejal looked up to her while Riddhima was standing a little further ahead with her arms folded silently staring ahead of her to the never-ending vast sea in front of her.

“I hate love.”

Sejal muttered to herself a wavering voice looking at her with pain and moist eyes.

Bearish bhi aanson boye

Sukha mann cheer bhigoye reh jayeeee

Bin royeeeeee

Bin royeeeeee

Then just on cue, the rain started pouring and droplets of water started drenching the four people who were suffering for their own reasons.

Naina rehte hai kaahe aise khoye khoye

Bin royeeeeee

Bin royeeeeee

Their eyes told the tale, lost they all were at the moment.

Bin royeeeeee

Bin royeeeeee
