Day 8: Stubborn:
Riddhima blinked her eyes in shock as soon as she reached her room as she saw Vihaan sitting with Anupriya in Kabir's room. What the hell is going on?? They both were looking at Kabir who's sleeping on his bed right now.
Tumhe sach me lagta hai Vansh ki Kabir ki mental condition sahi nahi hai??
Riddhima frowned as she heard Anupriya's tensed voice. What the hell did this man do?? How can Anupriya doubt Kabir's mental condition?? And why??
Haan Mom, kuch bohot badi problem hai, otherwise Kabir iss tareeke se cheeze chhupata nahi, and usne aapko bhi nahi bataya ki kya problem hai. Right??
Riddhima looked at Vihaan pointedly as she saw him looking at Anupriya with a smug look while Anupriya hesitated to even look at him. She's definitely hiding something. But what??
Bataya to hai Vansh, par tum sunoge to tum abhi Kabir ko mental asylum bhej doge.
Riddhima raised her eyebrows at Anupriya's declaration and saw Vihaan looking at Anupriya almost amused. Damn!! What the hell did Kabir tell her??
Aisa kya kaha Kabir ne, Mom??
Riddhima waited for Anupriya to reply Vihaan as she herself is too curious right now. Why did Anupriya think Kabir to be mentally disturbed all of a sudden??
Usne kaha ki..............usne kaha ki Vansh ka bhoot usey maar daalega.
Riddhima sucked in a breath as soon as she heard Anupriya's hesitant reply. No way in hell!! Vansh?? Kabir could see Vansh?? She looked at Vihaan pointedly not wanting him to know about Vansh and saw him smirking widely. Wait!! Is it Vihaan?? Or Vansh?? Riddhima closed her eyes in frustration. She really wants to pull her hair right now, she's that much confused.
You were right Mom, Kabir needs to shift to hospital, immediately.
Riddhima opened her eyes at Vihaan's suggestion and saw Anupriya flinching back. Something is off here. Why is Vihaan shifting Kabir to hospital?? What the hell is he even planning? And why didn't he say anything when Anupriya told him about Vansh's ghost? Did he really feel that Kabir is going mad??
Lekin Vansh........
Vihaan got up from the chair as soon as Anupriya wanted to oppose him. She moved back slightly so that they both won't see her.
Come on Mom!! Aap chahti hain ki Kabir poori tarah se pagal ho jaaye?? At least hospital me log honge uska khayal rakhne ke liye. Usey handle karne ke liye.
Riddhima shivered slightly as she saw the wicked glint in Vihaan's eyes. His eyes are reminding her of someone else, someone who was calculative and wicked enough, someone who was missing from her life since she took bullet for him. These are the eyes of Vansh, the same Vansh whom she witnessed during initial days of her marriage. Is he Vansh or Vihaan?? And how would Vansh know about what Vihaan had planned?
Theek hai Vansh, but Kabir ko kuch nahi hona chahiye.
Riddhima took a deep breath as Vihaan turned around and hugged Anupriya. She has no idea what Vihaan is planning and how Vansh would fit in all this mess. But she has to make sure that Vihaan stay in his limits.
Don't worry Mom, mere hote hue apke bete ko kuch nahi hoga.
Anupriya smiled and Riddhima moved back behind a pillar as she left the room. She looked towards the room again and saw Vihaan looking at Kabir furiously. Her heart hammered as she witnessed the hate in Vihaan's eyes. No!! This can't be Vihaan. This hate is real, and Vihaan had no real reason to hate Kabir.
Bohot jald Kabir, tum Vansh ki jail me pohonch jaoge. Aur wahan se shuru hoga tumhari maut ka safar. Jitna dard tumne mujhe aur mere apno ko diya hai na Kabir, usse hazaar guna jyada takleef aur dard tum mehsoos karoge. Yeh Vansh Rai Singhania ka wada hai Kabir.
Riddhima moved back and blinked her eyes as she tried to control her tears. Vansh's jail?? Vihaan told her that he would take this revenge as Vansh not Vihaan. But he's a brilliant actor too. She saw that already, he's pro at acting like Vansh. So who is this man?? Vihaan or Vansh??
She saw him storming out of the room but he stopped all of a sudden. What now??
Room me chalo Riddhima.
Riddhima sucked in a breath as he went away after ordering her. He knew, he knew she was here. But how?? She gulped nervously and went towards her room.
She frowned as soon as she entered the room as it's totally vacant. Where is he?? She looked around confused and tried to think of something but it's as if he went into thin air. He clearly came towards her room, there where's he now?? She closed the door and latched it properly.
Vihaan!!
She called him and still there's no response. All of a sudden she saw a box on the bed. She sighed and opened the box only to see a key in it. Now what's this??

She took out the key and put the box away only to see a paper folded on the bed. Is this some treasure hunt or what?? What is this Vihaan playing at?? Riddhima opened the paper and looked at it stunned.
What the hell!!
Open my side of the cupboard, you'll see a key slot there behind my black coat.
Put this key there and open the door.
Come inside the secret room.
I'll see you there only.
Secret room?? Her room has a secret room and she had no idea about it?? How the hell Vihaan knew about this?? What if it's Vansh??
She gulped and took out Vansh's black coat only to see the key slot just as the letter mentioned. She opened the lock and the whole cupboard turned 180 degree making a way for her to enter the room. She took a deep breath and entered the room only to have it shut immediately. She tried to push the door again, but to no avail.
She almost panicked as she saw that there's no network on her phone while the room is completely dark.
Itni jaldi dar gayi, sweetheart??
Riddhima looked ahead stunned as she just heard Vansh's voice and it's dark everywhere. She can't see anything.
V....Vansh??
She asked to no one in particular and the whole room lit up in an instant and she saw Vansh standing at the far corner of the room. She looked around in shock as no one could say that this room is a secret room. It's totally furnished, and decorated just like Vansh's room, the only difference is the colour of the room. The red colour of the walls indicated danger and the lion portrait in front of her is giving eerie feeling.
Jaanti ho tumhe aaj yaha kyu bulaya hai??
Riddhima came out of her thoughts as she heard Vansh's voice again and saw him sitting on his high chair looking at her as if he'll have her for dinner. She shook her head in a no and gulped nervously.
Socha, tumhe bhi dikha du Vansh Rai Singhania ki asli duniya.
Riddhima's eyes widened as she saw Vansh smirking at her. What the hell does he mean by real world??
A........Asli duniya??
She asked and saw him indicating her to move towards him. She clenched her fists and moved towards him almost scared. She hasn't been scared of Vansh, not since she took the bullet for him. But now his presence is giving her chills. He is scaring her.
He pulled her arm as soon as she reached near him and she landed on his lap. She tried to get up but he locked his arms around her waist glaring at her.
Jis Vansh ko tumne dhokha diya Riddhima, vo tumhara Vansh tha. Vansh Rai Singhania nahi. Jo aaj yaha hai vo Vansh Rai Singhania hai. Mafia King, Vansh Rai Singhania.
Riddhi got up an moved away from him horrified as he looked at her amused.
Mafia King?? No!! This, how could this be possible?? She blinked her eyes trying to control her tears.
Kya hua sweetheart?? Dhakka laga?? Abhi to bas shuruat h, aage suno, tumhe tumhari barbaadi na nazar aye to kehna. Ye duniya black n white nahi h Riddhima, na to koi poora accha hota h na hi poori tarah se bura. Haalaat decide karte h ki kisi ka accha karna hai ya bura.
Riddhima sat on the bed in shock, as Vansh looked ahead with a strange look in his eyes. She knows that he's right somewhere, circumstances make or break you, but killing someone could never be right.
Kiska saath dogi Riddhima jab ye janogi ki Kabir ke baap ko maine maara tha, pre planned murder, yaha tak ki tumhare baap ko bhi maine hi maara tha.
Riddhima looked at Vansh horrified as he looked at her with a smirk. NO!! This can't be true.
Anupriya ka dost tha tumhara baap. Usne Anupriya aur Kabir ke Dad ke saath milkar mere Dad aur tumhari mom, dono ko maar daala. Jis din maine apne Dad ke muderers ka pata lagaya uss din tumhara meri family ke saath connection bhi samajh aa Gaya.
Riddhima wiped her tears feeling blank. Could it be possible that her own Dad killed her mother?? She shook her head in a no unable to believe that her Mom didn't just leave her in the orphanage. Most probably she saved her from getting killed. If her Dad was really evil, then its possible that he was after her too. She looked up at Vansh pointedly and saw him smirking slightly.
I see, tumne andaza laga liya hai, tumhare anaath hone ka.
Riddhima gulped nodding at him in yes. But what bewildered her is the thing that if Vansh could know about all this, then how the hell he didn't know about her?? About her being used by Kabir?? She looked at Vansh confused and saw him getting up from the chair.
She flinched back as he sat beside her on the bed. She really was the wife of a criminal. No matter what Kabir's intentions were, he was right about Vansh.
Kya hua?? Bura laga?? Ki tumhara pati ek criminal hai??
Riddhima got up from the bed and moved towards the door. She can't handle all this right now. She gritted her teeth as she heard Vansh's laugh because she can't open the door. She glared at him and he shrugged as if it doesn't even matter.
Agar tumhe mere baare me saari baatein pata thi, to tumhe Kabir ke baare me pata kaise nahi tha??
Riddhima shouted and saw him raising his eyebrows amused. Damn him!! He's amused by all this.
Waqt Riddhima, waqt. Mujhe apne Dad ke kaatilon ka pata meri maut ke chand ghanto pehle hi chala tha. Waqt hi nahi bacha ki main kuch kar paata.
Riddhima blinked in shock as she saw Vansh looking at her derisively. No!! She's not responsible for his death. He decided to die, she tried to stop him, but he didn't listen to her. He just can't put all the blame on her.
Isn't it interesting Riddhima, that you loved the child of the murderer of your Mom ,and you got married to the murderer of your Dad?? How sad!!
Riddhima looked away from Vansh as he looked at her all amused. How could he be so cruel to her??
Tumhe zara bhi farq nahi padta na, ki ye sab sunne ke baad mujhe kaisa lagega??
Riddhima glared at him as she saw him chuckling at her. She moved back in shock as he stormed towards her furiously. She looked at Vansh startled as her back hit the wall and Vansh came too close to her.
Obviously not Riddhima, bhala mujhe kyu farq padega tumse?? Tum lagti hi kya ho meri??
Riddhima sucked in a breath as she saw the anger in his eyes. How could he say that?? She's his wife, he loved her. How could he behave like that with her??
Patni hu main tumhari Vansh. Kis tarah se baat kar rahe ho tum??
Riddhima shouted as Vansh grabbed both of her arms tightly and pulled her to him. Tears came out of her eyes as her hands started hurting.
Patni?? Kab bani tum meri patni Riddhima?? When?? Tum hamesha Kabir ki ashiq thi, aur wahi banke reh gayi. Tum meri patni kabhi ban hi nahi payi Riddhima. Tumne hamesha Kabir ka saath diya, tumne hamesha mujhpe shaq kiya. Tum, tum wajah ho meri maut ki.
Riddhima shook her head in a no as Vansh glared at her furiously. She shivered horrified as Vansh grabbed her waist and pulled her more close to him. What is he doing??
Vansh stop it. Chhodo mujhe.
She tried to wriggle out of his hold but it seems that he's not even listening. She looked at Vansh terrified as he grabbed her face tightly by his one hand and pulled her more close to him. She doesn't want to be close to him, not like this. He's furious and is scaring her right now.
Vansh!!
She closed her eyes in fear whispering his name and felt a push all of a sudden. She opened her eyes in shock and saw Vansh moving his hand in his hair. Riddhima took a deep breath trying to calm herself but she stiffened again as Vansh turned towards her again, but this time his eyes are blank.
Taiyaar raho Riddhima, bohot jald wo ghadi aane wali hai, jab tumhe sach me meri patni banna hoga, har tarah se.
Riddhima moved back in shock as she looked at him with tears in her eyes. How could he do this with her?? She's his wife, damn it!! And no matter how much he console himself, but this man is Vihaan not Vansh.
Kyu tum wo karna chahte ho Vansh jiske baad tum khudko kabhi maaf na kar paao?? Kyu tum apni biwi ko kisi aur ke saath share karna chahte ho??
For a second she saw the fire in his eyes but then he again became blank as if he doesn't even care. Riddhima shivered in fear as her heart dropped just by Vansh's expressions. She saw him smirking wickedly and she tried not to panic too much.
Tum meri ho jaogi Riddhima par main tumhara kabhi nahi ho paunga. Aur ye tumhari sabse badi sazaa hogi.
Riddhima looked at him in shock as he moved towards the door and opened it with his key and left the room. She sat on the bed in shock as she realized what Vansh has planned for her. She'll be destroyed, totally. NO!!
VANSH!!
She shouted unable to bear the pain of her heart but it's as if her voice bounced off the walls. As if no one could hear her pleas anymore. Her Vansh is gone, he's no more, and this man who's here is the Vansh whom she feared the most.
He's the mafia king, THE VANSH RAI SINGHANIA.
How will she fight him?? Just how??
