Just Them
_____________
New house, new place, new feelings. Somewhere, where only she and her love is going to live. It was like a dream for Riddhima.
"On cold nights, we'll sit near this fireplace, talking on random things!"
Vansh continued blabbering about all the plans he made.
"Anddd.. this is the kitchen."
Riddhima's eyes lit up as soon as he brought her in there. After months, she feels like a normal human. The kitchen was not that big, and not even that small. Just, perfect for them..
"Upar chalein?!"
She asked, pointing up at the almost spiral-ish stairs, excited to see the balcony.
"Chaliye..!"
Vansh replied, chuckling.
"Be careful, Sweetheart!!"
He ran up behind his wife, who was running up, way too excited. The wooden staircase creaked slightly as they ran up, giving off a homely vibe.
_______________
As soon as Riddhima got up, she met with a small passageway. In front of her was a room, that was locked, and beside was another room, lightened up with the sunlight. Smiling, she ignored the locked room thinking it to be the washroom, and walked into the open one.
The bedroom was quite big enough. A TV was set up on the wall, and on the front was the bed. Not a king-size one, but again, big enough.
"Riddhu, saamne dekho.."
Vansh said, from behind her.
Soon, her eyes moved in, and there was it! A huge sliding glass-door, and behind it was the balcony decorated with a few planting pots, hanging on the walls.
As soon as Riddhima opened it, a soft breeze hit both of their faces, taking away all the stress. She stood, there holding the railing. Beside her, Vansh felt immense peace. Even after knowing the cause of his father's death, somewhere in his heart, he felt pain remembering that she gave her life trying to save him.
Again, a breeze passed by, blowing his hair.
"Vansh.."
-"Hmm.."
"I love you.."
Riddhiima said, teary eyed.
Kissing her forehead, he replied-
"I love you too."
"Accha, ab jaake fresh hoke aao"
He said, to which, Riddhima was about to leave the room.
"Wahaan kahaan jaa rahi ho?! Washroom idhar hai."
She looked surprised at his words.
"Phir yeh kya hai?"
Riddhima pointed at the other room, that was locked.
"For the new guest who will arrive soon.."
Vansh answered, smiling.
Again, her eyes teared up. Hiding it, Riddhima went to the washroom, leaving him alone in the balcony.
Vansh sighed, looking at the sky that was painted with hues of orange. The sun was setting.. Few birds flew around, going back to their home.
This will mark the beginning of his new life. A life, where there will no one to hurt them. A life, where even his family members won't be there to hurt Riddhima in every way possible. A life, which will only consist of happiness and peace. A small life, of him, his Riddhima, and their child.
Just them, and no one else.
