Hi all! This is just something I imagined and couldn't get out of my head.
Riddhima is sitting on their bed reading a novel, “The Notebook”, by Nicholas Sparks. Sitting there minding her own business because her husband decided that he needed to get work done even though it was a little after 10 at night. Who wants to work so late, I guess my husband does. This was a nice time to catch up on my reading, since all day most days there is something or other I am dragged into.
There is always something happening, there are still tantrums that get thrown around here, someone has to complain about something or other. Maybe it's about food, or this deal that they couldn’t crack. Now that Aryan handles one of the companies of Vansh, he is always busy, which is probably good. He had way too much time on his hand before. Chachu is always helping him with that company to make sure that he doesn’t goof up at all. From time to time I am stuck in the middle to make sure that Aryan doesn’t get in trouble for being wrong with a deal or two. He would always run behind me because he knows that because of his bhabhi his bhai wouldn’t be as mad at him. We have come a long way, haven’t we?
I was engrossed in my book when I felt someone come and lay their head on my lap. There is only one person that does that from time to time, and that's my dearest husband. I continue to read my book as I run my hand through his hair. For a few moments, I don’t hear him say anything. Which is good, I like it when we just sit in silence and stay in the presence of each other, sometimes it makes me love him more. There is just something about moments like this. His question brings me out of my book, “Do you think we would have ever met if it wasn’t for Kabir?”.
“I don’t know if you remember I did meet you before Kabir decided to use me as his pawn. At that party where you hated all the things that I had put together”, I said putting my book away looking at his faces, which had a little more beard on it than I liked and those dark circles that never seemed to leave. He is always working so hard.
“I didn’t hate everything, I just like things a certain way, but did you think you would have been here sitting like this with your husband?” He said
“Maybe it was written in the starts for us to have a life together, I don’t think if Kabir hadn’t made me his pawn I would have tried to enter the Mansion or have you doubt me every step of the way. If you remember, I was supposed to get married to Kabir, I proposed to him and everything. But then I tried leaving this place and you thought it was a good idea to make me your wife and things went from there, but No I don’t think we could have met anywhere else and had this present life of love and trust. I think I would have been very far away from the one I was supposed to be with”, she said with a slight smile and still playing with his hair
“So it was necessary for us to go through all the pain that we went through?” He asked
“I think so, it makes me appreciate my time with you a lot more, there were many instances I could have died without knowing the real you or having your love,” I said
“I always loved you and I think I might have even when I married you,” he said and I was shocked
“What do you mean you loved me when you married me,” I said
“I don’t know there was something about you, always under my radar and constantly fighting me, I didn’t realize it then, but I was attracted to you, I needed to know what ticked you off and what made you smile…now I realize those are all signs to early love,” he said
“Very funny Mr. Rai Singhania,” she said playfully
“No its true, I think it really hit me when you took the bullet for me, I have always had betrayals from most women that I loved, but you were the first to just die even when I was the enemy. Things shifted from there, I knew that I needed to keep you around a lot longer than just this facade that I was trying to solve, yeah we had to fight through many battles alone and together but I am glad you stuck around and didn’t just leave when times were tough.” He said with a slight smile
“ Now that's all behind us, we are here happy, away from people like Kabir and their evil intentions. Our family is happy with doing things they love and there is nothing more that I can ask. Wouldn’t you say so?” I asked
“I know, Siya can walk again and she is married to Angre, who absolutely adores her. Ishani is away in London with Sunny and their child, and she loves to be back when she is here. Aryan is handling the business and is in love with a woman that is just like you, I mean she is your best friend after all. Dadi is glad to have things put behind us and her grandkids being happy. Chachi and Chachu have Aryan and his family to worry about and aren’t worried that their kids are not going to get anything from this house, they have put their evilness behind, and then there is us,” he said with a smile and a sense of pride…I know he is glad to lead a life like this
“What about us?” I ask even though I know the answer
“We are married and I don’t think I have ever loved a woman like you or been loved by women like you…you are the only person I want to see before I close my eyes at night and the only person when I open my eyes in the morning, you make me want to be a better person for you, you never let my arrogance slide, you always have to fight that, always have to make sure that I know my place, and more importantly make me realize every day that there could never be a better person to be called Mrs. Vansh Rai Singhania. You make me the man I am today, and I couldn’t ever thank you enough for entering my life and being my wife, you are the Love of my life and I can’t thank Kabir enough for placing you in my life,” he said as I had tears in my eyes
“My intention wasn’t to make you cry, you know I hate to see you cry,” he said
“Silly, these are happy tears, I love you too!!” I said with a smile and wiping away my tears
“Remember you can’t really thank Kabir, he is suffering his punishment somewhere you and I both know isn’t nice, and why thank him…God had a huge play in this, if he didn’t want us to meet we wouldn’t have met,” I said
“I could I forget God, without them I would be nothing and I could have never met you,” he said
“Love how you couldn’t step a foot in the mandir before and now you do so on daily basis,” I said jokingly
“Because I had this very fierce woman take a bullet for me, and she was on the verge of life and death, she believed in God and I knew that if I prayed she might live and that day I promised God that I will never claim any of my success to be my own, they were all given to me by them. Even my gorgeous wife,” he said with a smile
“I am glad you have this faith in God,” I said with pride
“I have to love my wife’s family just the way she loves mine, even if it is very annoying sometimes,” he said
“I mean I am not going to let you scold my devar when he is just trying to learn to be just like his bhai,” I said with a smile
“I guess so, but we have come a long long way,” he said
“I agree and I think its time for us to call it night, it way past our bedtimes,” I said glancing at the clock which read 11:30
“I guess, did I interrupt your reading,” he asked
“It's ok, I rather talk to you anyways,” I said very well aware that he was going to hold it against me all our lives
“I am going to remember that next time you ignore me for your book,” he said with a smirk
“It’s ok, there is no other way I will have you,” I said as I laid my head in his chest with the light off and the chaand being the only source of light in the room
“I love you, sweetheart!” I heard him say with a kiss on my forehead
“I love you too,” I said as I kissed his chest and drifted into sleep
This was our nightly routine, no matter how many fights we had all day, never went to bed angry at each other after we confessed and fell head over heels in love. I am glad Kabir forced me to come here because I have a huge family of my own and a man that loves me more than his life itself, just like I do him. And that's all that matters.
