Hi Guys, some of you said yesterday's update, quite a few didn't understand. So to improve my writing skills want to understand, are my sentences being so hard to understand. Am I writing something which is not synchronizing with the story? Do please comment on writing also. So I can try to give better myself with every update.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 19
Ridhima is shocked to hear it. Yes, the day she reveals no matter whatever she is doing for his good, the moment he knows he will be hurt.
Ridhima: People don't care about the truth. Once they want to hear what they want, then it becomes the truth.
Vansh: But still being hurt by listening truth from you is less painful than being hurt by learning the truth from others or by me which reality might be a half-truth.
People around me saying not to trust you Ridhima. Should I believe them? Or to trust you, should I be suspicious of every act you do?
Ridhima: Sometimes, a harsh lesson is the right medicine. We take, we lose, we take over, we get taken over. You are the king of the world called greed. Don't you know this?
Vansh: Yes, I'm the king. The question is, what does it take to be the one in control? Money? Brains? Strategic Prowess? Of course, all three are very important. However, there is something that outshines them all and provides a faster and more effective way to victory. And that is information. The one who has the information will easily become the ruler of such a world.
What makes me mad is I don't know about you Ridhima. I only know what you want to showcase to me. Not more than that! That is how I play Ridhima. I will only show the people what they want to. And here, I see the same kind of person before me.
Now, you’ve only got two different options to choose from: Prove that everything I just said was bullshit, or admit your guilt.
Ridhima doesn't know what to say. Yes, she is a loss of words. Whatever she counter him, he knows the truth. Yes, not entire truth but he knows she is betraying him. She is hiding something from him. Today the game is on between them. However, she cannot reveal she is playing for him while in that process, she needs to hurt him.
Ridhima: You know Vansh, Radha maa was always saying this to me "To believe people is to doubt them" - which means, if you keep doubting people and searching what's inside them, sooner or later you're bound to understand something about them. And when you do, you'll be able to entrust something in them. That is what it means to trust and believe.
That is now what he expected to hear from her. He never and ever maintained such cooler posture while speaking with a liar and here he is doing it. However, this woman is not because he is ready to give her a chance if she says the truth.
Vansh: Interesting! Very Interesting Ridhima. So, initially, you have doubted upon me. You wanted to know the truth about Ragini also you did your research about me. So with what you entrusted me with now?
Ridhima: With myself.
Vansh didn't expect this answer from her. Yes, she entrusted herself with me. Since day one to now they have grown as a couple. Earlier, they use to maintain cordial relation because of Dadi. However, since the bullet thing, dynamics changed between them.
Ridhima: Try to remember Vansh, we as a couple started to share a bed. I being in the same room with you, used to terrify me a lot. But on the day of Ishani sangeet, I asked you to sleep beside me. I held your hand and slept. A part of me started trusting you. Don't you see it?
For a second Vansh, see how we evolved even having mistrust between us. You were the one who said you don't want to learn about my past when I wanted to say. Why did you do that? Today you are asking me again to say when I'm not ready.
In your eyes, I'm betrayer. Okay. But I'm a girl. A girl who never and ever lose her self-respect because of any other stupid goals. I would never allow a man beside me to sleep and sit if I don't trust enough. But with you, every moment was different.
Vansh: Great script! Who wrote these words for you? You are putting up a great act Ridhima. Fabulous job. But as soon as something unexpected happens, you react according true to your nature.
I have given so many chances for you to come out and tell the truth. But No. You never utilized the option I gave you. Even now, I'm standing before you and asking to tell the truth but, you come up with the words which confuse me and put me in place to hate you and doubt you more.
Vansh says and leaves from the place where Ridhima stands at looks at him.
Ridhima: You're right Vansh. However, the promise I bound with is making me confront anything with you. Our first meeting is not a coincidence. So making a coincidence is my first mistake. Making that coincidence into a fate is my second mistake. I trying to encourage myself to make our fate into destiny is my third mistake. The final one is yet to commit. Letting you leave me by choice would be the fourth and final mistake which will be happening very soon.
Mrs Radha sees Vansh leaving angrily calls him from behind.
Mrs Radha: Vansh, Vansh. Please stop!
Where are you going? You said you will have breakfast with me. Who gave your permission to leave?
Vansh: Maa, not now! Next time.
Mrs Radha: You know, having breakfast in the morning is very important. So come down and take little food. Please.
Vansh thinks to utilize this opportunity to seek answers from Mrs Radha about Ridhima and her background. He is not sure whether she will reveal to him or won't. But he wants to give a shot.
Vansh: Nice view.
Mrs Radha: Thank you! However, everything in AF is decided and decorated by Ridhima.
Vansh: So she is a master of interior decoration too. Basketball, painting and anything more she knows and which I don't know about it, Maa?
Mrs Radha: smiles. What do you want to know about her Vansh? I know you want to know her more and she is a puzzle, right?
Vansh: How? I mean
Mrs Radha: I have seen the world Vansh. My experience is unaffordable by others. I'm a businesswoman too. So reading what my opponent is thinking is a just a piece of cake.
Vansh understood he is not sitting with Maa of Ridhima or AF. He is having breakfast with the Mrs Radha - the businesswoman. One of the powerful women in the world by Forbes consecutively for ten years.
Mrs Radha: I know what are you thinking? Don't see me like that. I'm here to speak with Ridhima's husband. Not with a businessman.
Vansh: smirks. You won't be betraying Ridhima by telling her truth me.
Mrs Radha: If I say, even I don't know the real Ridhima, how would you react?
Vansh: That's not possible. She has grown up under your nose. You know her
Mrs Radha: Does your Dadi know about you? As a whole?
Vansh: (nods) No
Mrs Radha: See, there's the answer.
However, to some extent, I can help you. Because now you're my child too.
Vansh wanted to know how could she forgave Ridhima after her daughter killed by Ridhima's enemy. Though Ridhima is the cause due to which the effect had happened. But if he asks the question, then Mrs Radha will know he had spied on Ridhima and them.
Vansh: What kind of a girl Ridhima is?
Mrs Radha: Don't you know?
Vansh: With me, she always wears a mask
Mrs Radha. I understand. Then I might also be lying to you?
Vansh: smirks. You said I'm your child. So don't lie to a son.
Mrs Radha: (Laughs). Ridhima, where should I start about her?
Vansh: Since the beginning.
Mrs Radha: Beginning? Oh, 15 years and so many stories about her. Let me pick the best.
Vansh: No, tell me every story.
Mrs Radha: Smiles. Okay.
A dirty child bullied because it's a sign that there's a nobody taking care of them. What do you do when nobody is looking after you? You have to take care of yourself.
The one thing that I don't understand that baffles me so much that I wake up in the middle of the night over it asking what kind of mother or parents could have abandoned a child like her?
Ridhima got bullied by many people. No one was able to stand with her because she is nobody. So she took care of herself. She stood up for herself. However, every person has a weakness. I would say every person has an Achilles heel. Don't you think so?
Vansh: I know her weakness. It is none other than the person whom she is hiding from me
Mrs Radha: You tend to assume things very rapidly. It's not a good thing to maintain a healthy relationship.
Ridhima got abandoned under the tree in front of an orphanage. She never forgot the memory of herself under the tree. She remained the same girl under that tree and grew up alone while being brave, lonely and smart
Ridhima's Achilles heel is love and family.
So, if Ridhima is betraying you as you say, then at what cost she would be doing it?
Vansh: Love and Family?
Mrs Radha: See you solved the puzzle
Vansh: She is an orphan. She has no family!
Mrs Radha: How would I know? Maybe no family, what about Love? There is no such rule as an orphan cannot love?
Vansh: So, you are saying she has a lover; and she is doing it for his sake? Ridhima has a boyfriend?
Mrs Radha: I don't know. It's you to worry about it. Now it's time for me to head back.
Vansh: We didn't even start her life.
Mrs Radha: It's not about how the flow of the story is going, it is whether you understood the meaning of the story. I have told you what you want to hear from me. Now go and do your research.
Bye Vansh, take care!
But Vansh, before leaving a piece of advice. Only take it if you feel it is wise. Use it if it can help you. Implement if it means something to you. Kill if all my words don't make sense to you. The advice is - "We, humans, are bound to see things that we desire. We end by searching for the things that we want to see within ourselves in the outside world. If your heart is good then you won't see a single thing that you hate in this world. Two years before my heart was full of anguish so I prayed for three days and three nights at the temple. And that was the first time that I experienced it. My heart immediately felt ease. There was nothing in the outside world that I hated."
Vansh: Means?
Mrs Radha: You want the people around you to be truthful. However, to what extent are you being honest with them? Secondly, thinking that everyone will betray you - that means you are hurting your self. You don't know who you are. Still trying to solve the puzzle called - Vansh Rai Singhania. My saying is - if you want to play the game with Ridhima, go for it. Play the game with the mind. Howbeit, when it comes to taking a decision, use your heart. Because the mind will show what you wanted to see. The heart will show you what you need to look into.
