So, this is a os based after Karvachauth and Vansh paralyzing Riddhima. With my own twist and turn.
Riddhima turns and looks towards the mansion one last, the place which had become somewhat of a home to her, where she got a family, albeit a disjointed one and the one who taunts her for being orphan. But whatever happened in the last few days has erased every ounce of love for her husband, she is done being a play toy.
She is done being scared, tortured, punished for trying to know the truth. And she can't be with someone who will always look at her with suspicion and will never tell her anything about his past, the cab driver honked irritated, she got inside the cab and went away towards the airport, on the way thinking about the things which led to this decision,
Flashback
Karvachauth was over and Riddhima was waiting for Vansh in her room, as she told Kabir she is going to start afresh, she will tell Vansh everything today and if he wants her to leave she will do that too. But where was he?
Vansh on the other hand was furious, he had seen the footage of Riddhima coming out the dikki of his car, he was totally brainwashed by Ishani, saying that she is still spying on him, Riddhima was searching for Vansh, when she saw Ishani smirking at her,
I- Bechari Riddhima Bhabhi ji, soon you will be thrown out of the house by bhai.
R- I am in no mood to listen to your crap.
She went towards Ishani's room where Vansh was talking to himself,
V- So, yeh vrat, yeh pooja yeh sab ek jhoot tha. Woh uss din meri dikki mein thi. Uss din mein Ragini se milne gaya tha. Riddhima knows ki Ragini is alive.
V- You should have not played with me Riddhima, itni pyaar mere andar hain usse kiye jayada zeher hain mere andar. Now i will show you how this game is played.
Riddhima was listening to everything Vansh was saying, she was sad that even after everything he still believed at a small evidence against her, is it so easy to break his trust on her and here she was trying to prove his innocence. Well fine then let's see what limits he is ready to cross.
He was in his study,talking to Angre, and then she heard the clicking of a gun,
V- I have waited three years for this moment. Now i will complete what was left that day. Angre leaves..
V- Riddhima cannot know the plan regarding Ragini, she cannot know Ragini's truth.
Riddhima was disgusted, he was willing to play with a helpless girl just to get back at her, was his ego that big that someone's emotions doesn't matter to him. And here she was trying to believe his innocence, he is a becoming a monster in the actual sense.
Riddhima had just came back to her room, Dadi had brought them some dinner and Vansh was also in the room,
D- Riddhima, this so beautiful Vansh is so lucky that he has got such a caring partner.
D- Promise me you will be always there for him.
R- Hamesha ka toh pata nahi Dadi, but jab Vansh wants me in his life i will be there.
V- Don't worry Riddhima i am always there to protect you, even if i have to kill someone.
D- Oh ho don't talk about killing someone today. Enjoy the dinner.
R- I wanted to ask do you wanna share something with me? Some chapter of your life?
V- No. And what about you wanna tell me something?
R- Batana toh bahut kuch tha, but ab un baataon ka koi fark nahi padega. Everything is over.
V(stunned)- What do you mean?
R- Kuch nahi, kahana kha lene. Mujhe bhook nahi hain.
She changed and went to sleep, deciding that once his so game is over she won't stay with him. It is too late to understand him and to make understand anything. For him she will always be a spy and nothing else.
She would be proud today, with Kabir's training, she had learnt a lot of things she knew one day Vansh will come to know all the truth and then he might try to hide Ragini somewhere else so she had installed a tracker in his phone.
That tracker helped her now, she reached Ragini's location, she was still going in and out of consciousness and was trying to tell something when she heard someone coming she quickly hid in the cupboard at the corner of the room.
V- Angre, when will she wake up?
A- Boss 2- 3 days .
V- It can't wait that long, Riddhima ko handle karna muskhil ho raha hain, i want to finish this chapter once and for all. And i cannot let Riddhima ruin my plan.
After he went away, she took left quickly. She was wandering aimlessly on the roads. Cursing herself for falling in love with a monster, rather than telling her the truth he is playing such a dirty game, well then alright if he wants her to hate him she will do that only.
She was totally exhausted when she reached home, Vansh was searching for her in the mansion, when he saw her entering,
V- Riddhima kahan thi tum? Kitne call kiya tume mene?
R- Aapne aap ko search karne gayi thi.. bahut sari misunderstandings clear ho gayi aaj.
V- Matlab?
R- Nothing..mein thoda rest kar leti hun.
She was going to her room when suddenly her mangalsutra broke, she didn't even try to catch, when the relationship is broken so why keep anything related to it. Vansh took it from the floor, he was angry yet worried he had thought ki Riddhima would question him but she went away just like that. He was starting to get restless.
Riddhima had changed and was going to the poolside to try to get some peace, but she saw Vansh talking to someone, she trying to listen but Vansh had seen her and dragged her back to their room,
V- Tum apni jassosi kabhi stop karogi ya nahi. How many times i have told you ki mere matters mein interfere mat karo, but you just keep ignoring me.
In anger he throws a knife at Riddhima, startled she started shivering,
V- Daar laga raha hain, good. You digged enough, aise na ho ki that hole which you digged becomes your grave.
V- This room is your limit Riddhima, don't cross.
R- Or what, you will kill me like you want to kill Ragini. You are nothing but a monster.
V- Stop saying her name.
R- Or what, i will leave this, and i will meet Ragini, it is better to die than be with a monster like you.
V- Wow, aaj tak mere saame kisi ko itna bravely stand lete nahi dekha. Bravo. Let's celebrate, he brought her a glass of juice and forced her to drink.
After sometime her legs started to become numb, she started to fall when he caught her and laid her on the bed, she rubbed her legs, but suddenly started laughing,
R- I thought that playing games, manipulation, scaring people are the things you do, but you have fallen so down. You lost whatever respect i had for you Vansh.
R- Jao, jo karna hain karo Ragini i don't give a damn anymore. Ab mein tumhe innocent prove karne ke liye idhar udhar nahi bhaag ne wali.
R- But usse phele i want to show you something. Give me the laptop.
V- Bas karo Riddhima, don't do more drama.
R- Drama nahi hain Mr.Raisinghania, saachai hain. About your so called family.
Riddhima searched into the CCTV footage and showed him everything Ishani locking her in a coal filled room, Aryan manhandling her, and he and Chachi trying to kidnap her. She paused there.
R- I assume your little sister didn't show you the whole video. Why would she, she got perfect opportunity to manipulate you and you got manipulated.
R- You wanna the reason why Aryan and Chachi wanted to kidnap me. She bent forward and took the bangle from the drawer near her bed and took out a chip.
R- You see me as your enemy, but your family is your enemy. Aryan videotaped you threatening Ragini, and wanted the chip to destroy you. But i had kept it hidden.
R- Now you know the whole truth. So do whatever the hell you wanna do. But ek baath aache se jaan lo Vansh aaj tumhari iss harkat ke wajah se you have destroyed everything.
Vansh was filled with guilt, Riddhima was always trying to protect him from his family, and it was his family who was trying to destroy him. Riddhima had fallen asleep due to the effects of the medication. He thought he will say sorry to her later.
The next morning he had brought breakfast for her, she had woken up and he thought that she will be angry on him,
V- Riddhima woh mein..
R- Vansh, i really don't wanna talk about it jo ho gaya usse hum nahi badal sakte hain, but i have realised one thing. Na mein tumhe trust kar payie, na tum.
V- Riddhima
R- I just wanna be alone for sometime Vansh. Please respect my wish.
Vansh had left her alone not knowing what to say exactly, he had unknowingly hurt her so much but he needs to find a way to make everything okay, Riddhima was slowly walking from here to the living room, she stopped looking at people who had been nothing but rude to her, yet still laughed freely and she suffocated every day.
She went back to her room and dialled a number,
M- Kya baat hain Bhai ki yaad aa gayi?
R- I need your help bhai, i want to come back. And i need someone to get divorce papers ready.
M- Alright, Alex will do that. And he will personally give it to you. And i will send you all the other details.
The next few days she had purposely avoided the family members and Vansh, deep down everyone was happy about the problems between Vansh and Riddhima. She had received the parcel, she went straight to her room, she signed the papers and left with the go bag she made.
Vansh had came home everyone was looking disturbed they told him Riddhima was missing, he went straight to his room and saw divorce papers on the dresser. Along with it was a letter,
Dear Mr. Raisinghania
Mein ab aap ke saath nahi rahe sakti. The way you treated me the past few days, i can never forget that, and the fact that you destroyed our relationship on a single video says a lot.
Also i want to tell i was a spy working for Kabir now you can do whatever you want. No Riddhima to stop you.
Riddhima
A scream of Riddhima's name was heard in the mansion, on the other hand a private jet was taking off with in Riddhima in it. As promised her brother made sure no one would know where she went. Riddhima smiled sadly it will take time but she will move on Vansh, even if it meant burning away the very essence of herself.
