"This place is not for leisurely strolling." The man chuckled holding her firmly.
"Leave me please." She tried again but his hand is moving downwards, on the contrary, making her breath hitched.
Riddhima struggled to get out of his grip before it gets too late but his hold is too tight for her tenacious effort.
All of a sudden she felt someone else is pulling her hand from the other side. Her eye lids started drooping and all she can see is black. Everything went black in her vicinity. Her legs could not handle more weight so they succumbed in defeat and she landed straight on ground.
"Riddhima Riddhima Riddhima Riddhu!!" kneeling down on the ground he patted her cheeks. A wave of panic rushed in and his thoughts enters the wrong territory.
His eyes went to the person who was holding her a minute, before he pulled her away. He clenched his jaw and looked at him with rage filled eyes, who is already lying on ground when he kicked him while pulling Riddhima away.
"Give me a second" his eyes dilated when he gazed back at her. Getting up from the ground he strided toward the person and gave him what he actually deserved.
Riddhima blinked her eyes rapidly to get use to the sudden lighting simultaneously trying to open her eyes. The first thing she saw is ceiling of their room.
When did i get back here? She thought because all she remembered is seeing Vansh's blurred face lastly.
Roaming her eyes around she found him sitting there just beside the bed on a chair, looking straight at her with an expression she can't decipher.
"For how long i was out?" She whispered adjusting her focus on him.
He first sighed and then gave her a wry smile. "For an year almost."
"Whhaattttt?" Her eyes went wide and her voice came out like a shrilled cry but the next second she coughed.
His amusing chuckle made her realise his stupid sense of humour and she rolled her eyes.
"You want something?" A minute ago he was making fun of her and now she can feel the concern in his eyes as his face turned serious all of a sudden.
"Just some sleep." She yawned tugging herself more in the warm comforter with a smile.
"You have been sleeping since" he looked at the wrist watch " exact twenty two hours and you want more?" he gave her a bewildered look.
"Yes. The more you sleep, the more you stay healthy. So let me sleep." She ordered and turned to the other side closing her eyes. He tip toed outside the room and closed the door shaking his head with an amusing smile.
Riddhima opens her eyes when she heard the door getting close. Pulling the pillow more to herself she tried to calm down her anxiety which is seeping in just with the mere thought of what was about to happen if Vansh got a little late.
She tried to sleep to throw all these thoughts out of the window but this is not happening.
After an hour, she is sitting on the bed crossed legs because as soon as she tries to sleep, the horror night flashes in front of her eyes.
She had slept enough perhaps that she is not sleepy anymore or maybe she was on sedatives before thats why she slept like a log.
"Someone was sleepy. Isn't it?" She heard his voice and there he is, standing on the door step, his hands as usual in pockets and face holds up a questioning look.
"Was" riddhima pouted shrugging her shoulder. She doesn't want him to know her deepest and darkest secrets so tried to behave normally.
"Have it" he placed the food tray in front of her and dismissed the helper who came along with the tray.
"I am not hungry." She moved her head negatively three times.
"Why do you always do the opposite of what i say?" He asked raising his brows.
"Because i don't like to follow orders." She retorted folding her hands on her chest giving him the same stoic stare.
"In that whole place you got that secluded area to chill?" He rolled his eyes
"It is all your fault. You left me alone." She agaped at his question.
"How old are you five? No actually you are right. Its my fault that i thought you will be able to take care of yourself."
"Absolutely it is your falut. If you were not busy with that jhallavi of yours. This would not have happened" she said making a irked face.
"Pallavi. Her name is Pallavi."
"Whatever" she rolled her eyes. He eyed toward the food and said
"Have your dinner Riddhima." This took her back to the time when he called her Riddhu.
I was hallucinating or he actually called me Riddhu?
"Dinner? I am not hungry."
"You have not eaten since a day almost so there is no chance i am letting you escape now." He said with an authority.
Taking a bite she asked "Okay tell me how many flings you had? And where is your Ragini? Maybe she too got to know about your flings and dumped you" she chuckled at her own joke but his one glare, she shuts up and finished her food quietly like a child. He gave her medicine while she is just absorbing in all his caring.
This again takes her back to square one. This man who is her husband is too moddy to keep a track on. Sometimes too sweet to handle and sometimes a volcano on the verge of eruption.
"Take some rest now." He pulled the quilt securing her inside it comfortably and went to the couch, his so called bed these days.
Riddhima is definitely scared of being alone right now and that too on this huge bed. Gulping down her fear she spared him a glance, who is looking at the ceiling lying on the sofa.
"Vansh" she whispered and he raised his one brow in question turning his head to her side.
"Umm can you... um....i...good night." Not getting the courage to voice out her feelings she covered her self completely with the comforter chucking away the thought.
But she sneaked outside a little when she felt the bed sinking in which is supposed to be due to his weight.
She saw him lying beside her with his head resting on his palms as he is facing her. She searched for any anger or irateness but his eyes are looking at her soflty.
"Sleep" He whispered not moving his eyes away not even for blinking. Gathering some courage she pulled his hand and hold it in hers. Maybe for assurance that she is safe and when he squeezed it a little, her heart beamed with reaasurance.
"Good night" she tried to hide the smile which is about to appear and then closed her eyes in satisfaction and relief.
