It was packed with emotions ❤️. Daddy's girl part was fun and I loved how the reality sets in and the vulnerabilities it brings with it. Such a beautiful update, Shinika. 👌
Really loved this update. There was so much material in it. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Dev and Vidhi's realization of the reality setting in and getting back to their roles at Raichand house bit was nice. Looking forward to the next chapters.
Wow the progression of this story is truely good to read. Kaise Vidhi was teasing Dev ji regarding that doubt 🧐 that was extra ordinary to read. Aur madam ji kaise bata rahi thi couch ke baare 😆 mein..Awww they are extremely cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰 here .I actually loved the way you are balancing it..Not just romance, but also the issues in family and the relationship growth of ViDev in real sense you have written it well. Simi ko leke donon kee fikra and the confused Vidhi who don't want to lost her special moments but also want to be with Simi you have wrote that it as accurate. Loved this chapter a lot 😃 Waiting for next part Shinika. Please update soon

The love of my life;FS;ViDev
part 9:
Vidhi woke up and saw the cute dev who is adoring her with full of love. dev ji what happened ? Why are you looking at me like that.
Dev: to make me believe that you are always with me said in trance..
Vidhi: dev ji what are you saying!! AAP thik tho hai?tabiyat tho,.,
Dev: Vidhi..Vidhi..relax kuch nahi hua hai mujhe.. bas aise hi.. chod do iss bath ko
Vidhi: dev ji .. ab tho main pakka nahi chodne vali Hu.. batayiye pls…pls..
Dev :says I am scared that you might leave me, if I did any mistake or due to my emotional weakness regarding our family, and if you leave me then what will happen to me?.
Vidhi :says I love you lot and every person has his own flaws and weakness, and and I can’t imagine my life without you.
He asks her to promise that she will never leave him. He asks her to promise that she will love him, more than loving their children.
Vidhi thinks of Amba’s words. She gets up.
Dev asks what happened, he squeezed his eyes and said sorry sorry I won’t talk about kids.
Vidhi asks him to promise. He says yes.
She asks him to be open with her, never to hide anything with her, and says my courage, strength and weakness everything is you.
Dev says my life is an open book and you will know it slowly. He says I love you always and we love each other and we understand each other.. so…,
Vidhi: says yes dev ji you are my belief.
ViDev: we promise each other that we will never leave each other.. never ever…
Both got ready and left to airport.
Vidhi is feeling sad and confused with mixed emotions. Dev observed her and said Vidhi…kyon ithna tensed ho Rahi ho. Ham hamara ghar jaa rahe hai bas.. our jagah jo bhi ho ham donon sath me rahenge na… ha.. vahi dev.. vahi vidhi our vahi pyar . Trust me .. everything will be alright.
Vidhi closed her eyes and sat beside him by hugging him tight entire journey.
When they reached home Priya and Abhimanyu are fighting by discussing about divorce in hall and simmi just ran into hall to greet dev and Vidhi. Priya didn’t noticed ViDev and held simmi hand and shouted
Priya: simmi how many times I told you don’t come in between when mom and dad are talking and she just pushed simmi while shouting go away from here.
Simmi fell near the door just ViDev entered and Vidhi held simmi. Simmi had a small scratch and dev got angered.
Dev: shouted Priya!!!! Kya kar rahi ho tum… vo bachi hai..
Priya and Abhi both saw simmi and started to blame each other.
Dev shouted shut up!! Enough both of you .. if you are going to fight like this then better go for divorce… saara syapa khatam ho jayega yes all will finish at once and for all.bache ke saamne aisa jhagada karne se vo behatar hoga.
Vidhi is shocked and sent simmi inside with Servent to put bandage.
Abhi: ha bhai main divorce ke liye taiyar Hu… ab mujhse our bardasht nahi hoga..
Vidhi: Abhimanyu bhayya aap yeh kya bath kar rahe hai.. kam se kam simmi ke bare mein sochiye… aap apni parivaar keliye priya bhabhi ki ek galati maaf nahi kar sakte hai…
Priya: Vidhi .. Abhimanyu se baath karna hi bekaar hai..dekho usse..uska gussa..
how can anyone love you, and asks him to see the mirror as this is your truth.
Dev just took vidhi with him to room and tells Vidhi that everyone in this house has their own space and she shall not interfere and give space to others. Vidhi says we are family and it is my duty to keep the family united.
Dev says they are your family too, but I know how to handle them. He says what you trying to do is not right. Vidhi says I understand Priya as a woman and tells that they need a chance. Dev tells that he knows Priya well. Vidhi tells that may be she can change or is there any other reason that she is hiding because of blackmail or something.
Dev asks her to understand that a relation shall not break, and shall be strong and says if it breaks once, then the knot is also there even if becomes fine. He asks her not to interfer in this matter.
Vidhi: I am just saying that their relation deserve a chance.
Dev : Vidhi still you are not accepting your mistake.
Vidhi : Agar pati patni mein kisi se kuch galti hojaye our uske baare mein dusre ke pata chal jaye tho vo usse nahi maaf kar sakta hai kya? Vo bhi hamara tarah ek dusre se pyar karke shadi Kia hua jodi hi kyon na ho.. nahi maaf karna chahiye? Can’t we accept our loved ones with their flaws, mistakes and their truth .She asked while looking into his eyes intensely.
Dev : Vidhi I don’t know why you are applying this to us. Vidhi recalls Amba’s words. Dev asks vidhi tumhe mujh par doubt hai? Agar hai Tho directly batao yaar aisa kya Kia maine?
Vidhi goes from there. Dev grabbed her hand and said Vidhi you can’t ignore me like this…
Vidhi: dev ji you only asked for space right so I am giving you that.
Dev pissed with this and shouted space… ha mujhe sach mein space chahiye.. kuch din tumhe in sab se dur rahna hi behatar hoga…
Dev realised what he said by seeing vidhi’s shocked face.
Vidhi running out from the room while dev said Vidhi i really didn’t mean it.. Vidhi... Vidhi…
Vidhi left the room and dev stood there silently.
Dev is in thoughts and he got a call from Kanika
Kanika: sorry dev I know I know you are on a personal trip but it’s urgent dev.
dev: Kanika it’s ok and I am back home tell me what’s that much urgent.what’s the matter?
Kanika: oh glad you are back just immediately come to office we will discuss here.
Dev: ok I will come and dev left to office with worry.
Once he reached office Kanika showed him some information and he is shocked by seeing that.
Dev: Kanika what is this ? How is this possible? Our share value.. how it dropped like this and it didn’t came in public also. No one pointed about our share value.. how is this even possible?
Kanika: that’s the doubt exactly I had dev and you know some new third party bought our shares according to this new low value.
Dev: what!!! Definitely some sort is happening Kanika.. before loose everything we have to find out.
Kanika: but how this is possible without Abhimanyu‘s involvement.
Dev: he is innocent Kanika some one is using him for their benefit. I will talk with him later but first we have to find out who is this new share holder and who is back stabbing raichand industries.
I have to check whether this new share holder is linked with Amba or not he said internally.
Kanika arrange a meeting with auditor immediately.
Kanika: sure dev.
Dev is in thoughts and decided to check the accounts. In the afternoon finally auditor is available.
Dev is busy with the auditor and they are checking all the details which can lead them to the main cause but still they couldn’t able to locate the issue.
Dev is pacing in the cabin with stress that who is the culprit and how it happened and who convinced the investers to be silent when the share value fall drastically.He is surprised that how all the investers are so calm knowing that how rude and angry they are last time.
Finally auditor gave up and said
Dev sir.. I think who ever did this is very smart. They didn’t left any clue.. but we have one way tomorrow we will meet the investers personally and we will try to get some information from them . I will arrange meeting with them. Don’t worry I will monitor them personally.I will try to get the detailes about this new mystery share holder.
Dev: is silent and thinking that mystery share holder must be Amba but how she got hold of Raichand industries shares?who is helping her?
Auditor: dev sir… it’s very late can we ?
Dev realised the time and said ya ya .. it’s mid night we will meet tomorrow.
Both left from office. Dev is driving but his thoughts are revolving about shares. Kisi ne bahut bada khel khela hai.. jan buchkar shares ko gira diya taki koi uski Aadmi shares ko khareed sake. Par koun hai vo hamari office mein rahakar hamare khilaf yeh sab kar raha hai…
Once he entered the home he found Vidhi sleeping near dining table . He realised that she is waiting for him to have dinner. He remembered the morning argument and felt sad that he totally ignored Vidhi being occupied with work. He thought to wake her up but seeing her sleeping deep he changed his mind and carried her to their room. He placed her on bed and realised her tear marked face and felt guilty for the argument. He about to get off from her she she held his hand tightly and kept his hand close to her cheek .finding no other way he sleep beside her. He saw their tangled hands and said I am very sorry Vidhi aaj maine tumhe bahut rulaya our Sorry tumhe ithne der tak mere liye wait Karna pada par koi bath nahi . I will make it up to you tomorrow.
I am sorry and I love you said while adoring the sleeping beauty and slowly drifted to sleep.
Dev woke up early and realised that he didn’t even changed his suit and remembered the night happenings. He smiled little while seeing Vidhi and went for freshen up. He got ready and find still Vidhi sleeping . He thought to let her sleep cause yesterday is very stressful for her and she slept very late.He thought to get breakfast to room for her. He went down for breakfast and greeted by Satya.
Satya: hey dev tum akele .. vidhi tho jaldi uthke breakfast banane mein Madat karne aajati hai na.. aaj kya hua hai. Tabiyat thik hai na uska ya kuch jagada hua tum donon ke beech.
Dev: aisa kuch bhi nahi hai ma vo theek hai . Kal raat mere wait karte karte bahut late so gayi bas isi liye.
Satya: dev maine kaha na ab tumhare liye wait karne keliye vidhi hai. ha.. tumhari biwi… ab tumhe ghar jaldi aana padega beta.
Dev: ha ma .. aisa dobara nahi hoga.. kal thoda office ka kaam hai tho rukna pada…
Dev got a call from auditor and asked to meet him as soon as possible.
Ma, mujhe thoda kaam hai main jaraha Hu our….our…
Satya: our… she laughed and said mujhe pata hai dev .. main vidhi ka khayal rakhunga . Tum jao…
Dev: thank you ma….our usse uth the hi breakfast dijiye kal dinner bhi nahi Kia vidhi ne…
Satya: ha dev breakfast , lunch time main uske sath rahunga par tum dinner time Tak jaroor aa jana.
Dev: ok ma , bye…
After some time satya went to check on Vidhi. By the time she woke up and getting freshen up. Satya took the breakfast to ViDev room.
Vidhi: mummy ji.. aap yaha our aap breakfast yaha…
Satya: vidhi koi bath nahi hai common pehle breakfast karlo.
Vidhi took the plate but not eating just clouded with thoughts.
Satya: Vidhi….tumhe pata haina main dev ko ma se jyada dost Hu our tumhe saas se jyada ma Hu… agar aisa kuch baat hai tho mujhe bata do beta. Mujhe pata hai tum donon ke beech kuch tho hua hai. Subah dev bhi nahi bataya bas baat ghumakar chala gaya. Bolo beta.. kya baat hai.
Vidhi: mummy ji aisa kuch bhi nahi hai.. hamare beech koi jhagda nahi hua hai. Sach mein mummy ji.
Satya: mujhe pata hai tum donon bilkul ek jaisa hai tumhare problems kisi our se share nahi karenge …par beta agar tumhe kabhi bhi aisa laga ki meri jaroorat ho tho bejijak meri paas aajana .
Vidhi: thankyou mummy ji .. our pareshan math ho jayiye …jagada jaisa koi baat nahi hai.
Mean time simmi came to the room and called Vidhi.
Vidhi: good morning simmi beta… jaldi aayi ye mujhe aapko kuch dikhana hai..
Simmi: good morning tai ji.. dikhayi ye .. kya dikhana hai aapko..
Vidhi showed her many toys and dresses she brought for her.
Simmi felt very happy and both started to play with toys.
Satya saw this and felt happy by seeing their pure bond and relieved that vidhi’s mind will divert while playing with simmi.
Dev and auditor went to meet some investors . Only few are available at that day but they don’t have any such information that will give them a clue.Dev went to office thinking to talk with Abhi about this.Dev found Abhi was not in office and tried to check the detailes himself.
Vidhi felt sad that dev left to office early without talking to her. He is still angry with her she thought. She spent the day with simmi, Satya and mousi ji. Abhi and Priya fighted that day also. When Vidhi tried to console Abhi Mousi ji accused her again that her bad luck is the reason of that house problems and she don’t want to see her. where ever she will go she will spread her bad luck there. Vidhi couldn’t hear anymore. She ran to room and cried a lot.Her insecurities are getting stronger and she don’t know how to control that. She is angry on herself that how she argued with dev like that. She wants to talk with dev. She craved for him.She called him but the call is not answered. Her eyes got pooled up and thought fine dev ji aap ko bhi space chahiye na .. mujhse…isiliye aap mujhe ignore kar rahe hai na . Iss ghar me kisi ko bhi meri jaroorat nahi hai. Aapko bhi nahi.... aapko sab kuch akela solve karna hai na..Our mujhe pata hai yaha aane ke baad aisa hi hoga.. aap bhi mujhse dooriyan bana rahe hai na…. mein hi pagal Hu aapki baat ko maanaa …jagah koi bhi ho ham hamesha saath rahenge vidhi….par nahi…
ha Vidhi tum hi pagal ho tumhe kisi our ki matter mein kyon jagada karna hai dev ji se… her innerself mocked her. she remembered Amba’s words and mousi ji ‘s words . Both things are revolving around her and her fears are engulfing her.suddenly she is feeling like a stranger in her own house.she need him beside her to assure her all this is a nightmare .She curled up and lied at the edge of the bed with fear and distress.
Dev came home again late and saw Vidhi sleeping with frown. He is confused that why she is sleeping at the edge. His mind indicated that something wrong and he realised her missed calls. Dev felt she is angry at him and thought to spend tomorrow with her. he got changed and turned her close and slept by hugging her.
Dev woke up and find Vidhi not in the room. He got freshen up and went to kitchen to meet her.
Satya informed him that Vidhi went to meet her parents and Vidhi informed her before leaving.
Dev: kya … Vidhi mujhse aisa kuch nahi bataya.
Satya: batane keliye tumhe ghar me hona chahiye na…
Dev: vo ma office mein important kaam hai bas.. yeh sab chodo .. main abhi vidhi ko call Kartha Hu…
Mousi ji: choti… va.. ladki ki himmat tho dekho pati ko bina puche mayke chale gaye. Khud ko ghar ki malkin samajhti hai na…tum aise hi usse apni sar pe chande do…pata nahi aage Jake kya kya dekhna padega…
Dev couldn’t bare that taunts went to his room.
Satya also went back of dev and said
Dev Maine tumhe pehle bhi kaha tha ab tumhara shadi hogaya hai our tumhare liye vidhi intezar karte rahegi. Par tum fir bhi kal der se aagaya.
Agar tum donon ke beech kuch hua hai tho pehle vo theek karo dev aisa ek dusre ko ignore karne se kuch theek nahi hoga.
Dev: ma, aisa kuch bhi nahi hai… office mein bahut kaam tha our upar se vo Amba our Rakesh bahut sare problems hai ma.. aapko pata hai na main vidhi ko ignore nahi kar sakta.
Satya: dev dekho mere liye pehle tum important ho. Uske baad hi business ya koi our problems. Dusri cheejon ka asar tumhare rishte mein nahi padna hai dev..mujhe pata hai abhi our priya ko lekar tum donon bahut disturbed hai. Maine Vidhi se bhi pucha par vo bhi tumhari tarah bath ko tal dia.
Dev: ma, vo kyon jana chahte hai vaha kuch bola aapse our kab vapas aayengi kuch bataya?
Satya: mujhe ek hafta jaisa bolke nikal gayi vo… said with smirk.
Dev got sad ..
Satya laughed and said beta, itna chinta mat karo main majak kar rahi Hu.. Sham tak vapas aa jayegi
Dev got relieved and said ma aapne dara hi dia tha mujhe..
Satya: pehle tum bath karle Vidhi se . Bechari kal bhi bahut udaas thi.
Dev called vidhi and same time vidhi entered Sharma house. She prayed to milapini ma and lifted the phone.
Dev: vidhi tum pahunch gayi..
vidhi: ha, dev ji bas abhi aayi Hu..
dev: sham ko my pick karta Hu tumhe.. be ready.
Vidhi: koi baat nahi hi dev ji aap bahut busy rahte hai main khud aa jaaungi.. main aapse baad mein baat karti Hu bye.. and she didn’t let him speak and cut the call.
Bimla noticed vidhi talking in hurry and asked vidhu sab kuch theek hai.
Hp asked yeh bag … yeh leke kyon aayi ho tum..
Kyon papa , ma mein apne ghar nahi aa sakti kya aap log kyon ithne saval kar rahe hai mujhse..
Bimla about to say something Seema came and took vidhi with her.
Seema and vidhi both spend the time and Seema is very happy with the gifts.
Bimla prepared tea and went to vidhi
Vidhu , yeh lo.. our tumhare our dev ji ke beech mein sab sahi hai na.. kuch jagada nahi hua na…
Tu dekh vidhu…pati patni ke beech mein chota mota jagada hota rehta hai … uske liye aisa ghar chodke aana sahi nahi hai vidhu…
Vidhi: ma, ma… pehle dekhiye .. iss bag ko.. gifts hi hain… main seema ko gifts lekar aayi Hu… our uss gifts ko Seema ko dene ke liye our aap dono ko dekhne keliye aaya Hu main yaha… dev ji our meri beech koi jagada nahi hua hai… aap ko ghabarane ki jaroorat nahi hai. Kya main apni ghar mein apni marji se do din nahi reh sakti ma…
Bimla: vidhu… shadi ke baad ladki ka ghar sasural hai .. mayka nahi.. apni pati ke sath mayke aao our do din kya mahina bhi raho koi kuch nahi kahega …par..
Vidhi: kyon… ab main aapki beti nahi Hu sirf uss ghar ka bahu Hu…
Bimla: dekh vidhu… main tumse behas nahi karna chahti Hu… hamare yaha yehi chalte aayi hai .. our aisa hi chalega bas… and left from there.
Vidhi got sad and remembered mousi ji’s words.
Dekh vidhi donon ghar mein bhi tumhara koi astitva nahi hai…akhir tum koun ho? kisi ko bhi tumhari jaroorat nahi hai.. she lost in thoughts.
Vidhi heard some talks from their parents room she went there and she heard them talk . Hp asking why Vidhi came with bag and when she is leaving?bimla said everything is fine and we will take some help from Vidhi and dev. And when they have money in hand we will return to them.
Ho said after marriage we don’t have any rights on Vidhi and we shouldn’t ask anything from her.so don’t let her know about marriage debts. It’s my responsibility and I will clear it. Bimla is worried but hp stopped Bimla to inform Vidhi.
Vidhi’s eyes got pooled up and she couldn’t stand there for a minut. She pitied on her self. She immediately said bye to Seema and left from Sharma house.
Bimla came and realised that Vidhi already left .
Bimla feels helpless one side Vidhi and other hp she don’t know whom to support.
Vidhi left from there crying about her situation.she don’t know how to help her parents and how to convince Satya for job. she is missing dev and want to go to him but she thought to visit balghar for sometime to clear her mind and heart before meeting dev. She greeted by kids and played with them for sometime. she left her things inside and went out to check on Rocky. She sat beside rocky and cried her heart out. Rocky tried to cheer her and jumping around her to make her laugh. While playing rocky hit with stone and got hurt. Vidhi got the first aid and treated Rocky’s wound.
In the evening Dev who is waiting for Vidhi is feeling restless that wether she will come or not as she is still angry on him. He is cursing himself for his tounge slip. He is disturbed and angry so blurted without thinking at that time. He didn’t even talked with her for 2 days and he didn’t even lifted her call. He was busy but how come he became that much irresponsible. He should’ve come early to home. He thought the space word hurted her a lot.
Kya jaroorat tha dev ithna bada speech dene ka. Pehle hi vo insecure hai ghar ki mahilaon ke dekhkar our tumne firse vohi galti kardia. Maine usse kaha bhi tha hamare donon ke beech kuch nahi badlega.. par ..Kya soch rahi hogi vo .. his innerself voiced out.
Ha mera hi galti hai mujhe aisa nahi argue karna chahiye tha vidhi ke sath. Mujhe hi samajhna hai vidhi ko… mere bharose mein vo yaha aayi hain… iss rishte mein main hi bada Hu.. mujhe hi samajhadari dikhana padega…
Iss bar Main hi galat Hu . Mujhe vidhi ko sorry kahana chahiye…
Dev thought to pick vidhi and called her.
Hello dev bhaiya .. Ruhi answered the call.
Dev: Ruhi… tumhare paas vidhi didi ka phone..
Ruhi: ha bhaiya didi tho yahi par hai..aapki photo aagaya thi maine call utha Lia aapse bath Karna hai mujhe.
They both talked for sometime.
Balghar ki care taker took the phone and informed that vidhi is there and she is with rocky to take care of him as he is wounded.
Dev got surprised to know that vidhi is in balghar instead of her parents house but told them to not inform vidhi as he wants to surprise her.
Vidhi and rocky sat on the open ground . Ruhi ran to them and kept the phone near vidhi.
Vidhi is blabbering things infront of rocky and didn’t noticed the phone. She is narrating that day things and suddenly asked … (rocky indicating the phone to vidhi but she is not in mood to see that . In that attempt rockey dailed dev by mistake)
tumhi batao rocky iss mein meri galati kya hai.. vo mera bhi parivaar hai na.. mujhe mere parivar ko space dena chahiye… space… her eyes got pooled up and said ha sunliya tumne meri dev sir ko mujhse space chahiye..
rocky watching her with unbelievable expression and barking..
tum yakeen nahi karoge mujhe pata hai…par unhone kaha hai aisa…
Rockey barked again..
Ha ha Maine bhi thoda bahut bol dia dev ji ko bina soche samjhe.. meri hi galti hai.. mujhe unki baat ko aisa talna nahi chahiye tha.. mujhe hi unse maafi mangna chahiye tha…par unhe pata haina main Hu hi pagali filam…phir bhi unhone mujhe door rahane ko bol dia…
Rockey tum aisa mat dekho Sachi bol rahi Hu.. our our.. HM mein promise Kia ki ham hamesha sath rahenge …par dekho yaha aate hi mujhse space mang raha hai… do din se mujhse baat bhi nahi Kia .. pata hai bahut bada business man hai bahut busy hongi par ek tho message Kar sakte hai na .. ek call tho Kar sakte haina.. upar se meri call bhi nahi uthaya…
Rocky barked again loudly….
Pata hai .. pata hai.. vo bahut busy raha hoga .. mujhe samajhna chahiye tha… main hi unko sorry bol dunga… ab khush….
Rockey curled up and sat close to Vidhi silently
Rockey mujhe ek baat ache se samajh mein aaya .. tum bhi dev sir ki side hi hai na.. mujhe pata hai .. sab log dev sir ki side hi lenge… our tumhe ek secret bata du..kisi ko mat batana…… main bhi hamesha dev sir ki side hi rahungi said slowly and giggled….
Vidhi caresses rocky lovingly and felt relaxed after sharing everything with him.
Dev listened all this while driving to Baal ghar to pick Vidhi. He laughed whole heartedly after her giggling and said tum bahut cute ho Vidhi.. meri vidhi… and cut the call.
Vidhi got horrified for a second and asked Rocky dev sir mujhse pakka naraz hua hoga na aisa bina bataye chale jane se …ab dev sir mujhse pyar nahi karte hai kya? Tum bataao….. pyar karte haina mujhse…
Rocky barked while looking at phone. Vidhi saw the phone and realised the time… Rocky meri Lanka lag gayi… bahut raat hogaya hai… sab meri intezar kar rahe honge…
Vidhi turned to go hurriedly just then dev came infront of her… she becomes shocked and confused to decide it’s really dev or she is hallucinating.
Care taker came behind him and said because of vidhi’s visit kids are too happy and now sleeping. Rocky got hurt but he also will feel better soon cause Vidhi take good care of him.
Dev went near Rocky and checked the wound. He hugged him and whispered thank you.
Rocky sat silently near dev for some time and after some time ViDev said bye and left to home.
When they are in car both said at same time..
AAP baalghar mein kya kar rahe hai dev ji?
Tum baalghar kyon gayi thi vidhi?
Both are silent and they reached the home.
Both went inside and find everyone already left to their rooms.
To be continued….
SHINIKA.
Wow Finally!
It was worth the wait, hoping some light and good ViDev moments ahead soon!
