Chapter -15- Insecurity
It was Night and the Sky was Dark with only Moonlight Illumination was in the room through the Window , Riddhima was beside Vansh and she was staring at Sleeping Vansh .
While She was Gazing Vansh Tears started rolling down from her cheeks continuously and unknowingly .
She gazed at Adorably sleeping Vansh and Cleared up her tears , She put her hand on his head and she started moving her hand on his head Lovingly .
Riddhima :( in mind ) Sometimes In life You need to make few Sacrifices for your love , I had to sacrifice you from my life for your life but in the twist of the events I had to sacrifice My self respect too .
I am not a Cheater , Vansh .
But They say naah ,Life becomes better If Some Bitter Truths are Hidden .
I cannot take away Your peace and complicate your little heart and tear you apart .
I understood in these few days ,Your love is Stronger , Endless and more beautiful than My love for you .
You held my hand when , "any one could hate and leave "
I don't want to hurt you anymore , Let the truth be hidden in my heart .
I cannot tell you the Insults , Abuses , Treachery and Disrespect I faced in your absence .
I don't want you to suffer , feel Guilty or Tear you apart .
Riddhima Trembles as she Remembers the Incidents two days ago .
