Earn Me
"Dadi please bhabi ki arti kijiye.." Siya says.
"Nahi siya.. I dont want that anyone of this house does my arti.." Riddhima says calmly.
Vansh looks at her confused.
"Why?" He asks.
"Nothing is forgiven nor forgotten Vansh.
The humiliation you & your family bestowed on me is engraved in my memory.. It didnt magically get erased from my memory.
Clt+alt+dlt
Brain doesnt work that way.
You wish for a new begining...
I do too..
But does that delete what you did the past few days?
I had begged you for a do over...
Could you forget what i had done?"
"Riddhima... Please...
I am...s.."
Vansh was pleading but she cut him.
"I know you are sorry.
I know... But that doesnt erase what you did!
Does it?
I came back because i want us to have another shot but that doesnt mean i forgave you.. If u want me Vansh.. U have to Earn me back. For you i have tolerated everything.
I have chosen you when the choice was between you and my self respect.
Because i thought you would choose me too. But i was wrong you chose your ego.."
"No. Riddhima...
It wasnt ego.
It was pain!
It was hurt.. It was anger...
It was the feeling that you didnt choose me.
I wasnt your choice.. You didnt love me.
I felt it was all a manipulation...
Just a ploy to put me behind the bars.
I was broken... I lost my ability to think. "
"Seriously??
When you acted to be vihaan all i would say was Mera Vansh.. Yeh.. Mera Vansh woh..
So you thought i was acting??
Like you were??
Then how do u know that I love you now?
This can also be an act?
How will i ever prove you that i love you?
By killing Kabir?
Or by having sia as my lawyer??
Tell me how will things be different from now on???"
Riddhima screamed.
She was losing her cool.
He couldnt look her in the eye..
He knew what she was saying was the truth.
He had seen her love & protectiveness for vansh & the family when he pretended to be Vihaan..
He was ashamed of all that he did.
He was ashamed of the mind games he played and the way he humiliated her.
He didnt know how to make it up to her.
He didnt know what to say.
"I know I have hurt you.
May be you will never forgive me...
But i would like an oppurtunity to heal the wounds that i have given you..
I would like to Earn you this time.
Please..." He pleaded.
"Vansh you know I am an orphan.
My parents abandoned me at birth...
And you did the same.
You made me go through that humiliation of not being wanted, of not mattering enough that someone will love you again.
I confessed that you are the most precious thing for me in this universe and you snatched yourself away from me.
You are right i am complete in myself i dont need you but i wanted you.
The name Riddhima Vansh RaiSinghania made me happy.. It made me feel i belonged to you.. That I was yours.
You took away my home.
You took away my pride.
I adored being called Mrs.Vansh RaiSinghania.. I dont anymore.
The name reminds me only of the humiliation that you gifted me."
She broke down.
She has been holding her tears.
She has been fighting for so long that she didnt take a breathe.
Vansh was speechless.
He was so blinded by his own pain that he didnt realise how far he had gone.
How much he had broken her knowingly.
He was disgusted at himself.
He wrapped his arms around her, pulled her into his chest, and buried his face in her hair. They stood there together for a long moment, and when he finally spoke, she could tell the words came through sobs.
“I’m so, so sorry."
She let him hug her...
He was her only person in the whole world.
He was the one.
She wanted him to pick up her pieces.
She wanted him to help her rebuild herself.
She wanted him to Earn her.
"I want to forgive you!
I want to forget all that happened.
Believe me.
Hating you..
Being mad at you..
Kills me.. Its exhausting.
But inspite of trying i cant forget.."
She cried in his embrace.
"Riddhima beta.. I am sorry"
Dadi began with her apology.
"No dadi..
Dont.
Not today..
I love you but today your words mean nothing... I cant accept this apology.
Vansh was hurt & felt betrayed i understand but you??
Did you try to reason with him?
Make him understand that what he was doing was cruel & shameful.
When he wasnt here i stood by this family inspite of all the abuse and the hate i received from each and every member.
I fought for you guys as it mattered to Vansh.
You saw how broken & devastated i was after the news of his death.. So tell me did u tell him this???
You are the matriach of the house.
Did you try and teach him Right & Wrong??
Twice i took bullets for Vansh and that didnt count as my show of loyalty???
You couldnt see that I love Him??
That my entire existence is surrounding him???
Tell me???
What are you apologising for..?"
Dadi had nothing to say.
She was wrong.
She failed and she knew that.
"I never had a mom.
You are the closest to a mother figure i ever had and yet again i was abandoned.
You refused to identify me.
I was thrown out the doors of this house on the ground.
You & vansh stayed quite & supported it how do i forget that??
You always rant about how the mangalsutra is important and how i should never remove it... And you stayed quite when Ishani ripped it off my neck & threw it away!!!
How do i forget all this?
Tell me a way??
Help me !!
I dont want to remember all this.
Your apology wont help me feel better it will help only you so dont apologise."
Saying this she walked away straight into the guest room.
Vansh has to earn his Riddhima back.
She may be in his house but not in his room not anymore.
Ps: Tried to write the confrontation that i really wanted in the show.
