Vansh smiled looking at riddhima who was sleeping by keeping her head on the desk, pouting like a baby

How much he wanted to take her in his embrace

Not able to control his emotions, he took slow steps towards her and sat beside her

He frowned seeing her innocent face being covered by her silky black hairs

Removing them from her face, he tugged them behind her ear

Leaning down, he placed a tight kiss on her forehead

Feeling someone's warm lips on her skin, riddhima opened her eyes to be mesmerised in his dark orbs

They were shining with love

Love for her and only her

Suddenly ahana's words started ringing in her ears

Angered, she pushed vansh away harshly

R: what the hell do u think you were doing

Vansh was startled by her sudden action

V: i was just

R: yaa come
Cook up a new lie
You did this intentionally didn't you
Hiding my assignment so that we end up in detention together
For god sake vansh
Stop this none sense

V: sweetheart
Listen to me

R: I don't want to listen anything
I had listened enough on kabir's and ahana's engagement ceremony

Holding her by the waist, vansh pulled her close

V: plz just for once listen to me
Yes I promised her the title of mrs rai singhania
But i never  promised her that she would be mrs vansh rai singhania

Riddhima looked at him confused

V: she would either have been mrs kabir rai singhania or mrs aryan rai singhania
But never mrs vansh rai singhania
Because that right is reserved only for you

I love you riddhima

I did
And will always do

Yes i wanted to punish you

Yes I wanted revenge

Just because i wanted you to realise how it feels to be betrayed by the one you love

I had never planned of letting you go

All those physical attacks, that was ahana's overdoing
I had clearly warned her that i won't tolerate even a single scratch on you

I just wanted to break you emotionally

Just like i was broken

I know i did a sin by not trusting you

I know i should have investigated enough

Riddhima iam someone who has doubted even his shadow

But i wanted to trust you

I wanted to trust the fact that you loved me sincerely

But that day

All the proofs presented by kabir

Attack on sia

All that just blocked my senses

Iam not trying to justify my act

I will never

I admit that i was at fault

But i want to mend things riddhima

Saying soo he fell down on his knees

I vansh rai singhania is begging for your mercy riddhima

Plz just one chance

I promise to fill your life with happiness

Just one chance

Tears rolled down riddhima's eyes seeing him like this but the hurt was too much

She took s step back and turned her back towards him

Vansh's eyes turned red due to crying seeing her rejection

He got up from the floor and started walking towards the door

V: I HOPE I DIE
BECAUSE A LIFE WITHOUT YOU IS EVEN WORSE THAN HELL ITSELF

saying soo he marched out of the college

Reaching the same cliff from where he had jumped, he fell down on his and cried his heart out

Next day:

Vansh entered inside the college along with angre

The only reason he was here because vyom's man was still in the college means danger was still lurking over riddhima

Entering the class, he took a seat at the last bench confusing laksh because everyday vansh used to literally fight with him to sit with riddhima

L: hey ridz

R:hmm

L: did you and vihaan had a fight

R: no why

L: then why did he come to sit with you today

R: i dont know laksh
Plz focus on the class

L: you do know he likes you right

R: laksh

L: okay okay
I won't say anything

As the lecture was over, riddhima was walking towards the canteen unaware of the fact that someone was pointing a rifle towards her

The whole canteen fell in silence as a loud gunshot was heard

Riddhima turned around and was shocked to see vansh falling on the floor drenched in blood

VANSHHHHHHH

Riddhma immediately took his head in her lap

R: Someone bring the stretcher
Ask the doctor to prepare the OR

Vansh held riddhima's hand and kissed it

V: i love u sweetheart
I love u soo much

These were the only words that he was able to blurt out before darkness engulfed him completely

4 months later:

Riddhima walked up to the stage to get her graduation certificate

She looked into the crowd and her eyes watered remembering that he was not with her

Wiping her tears, she walked out of the college to see angre standing there

An: congratulations on your graduation bhabhi

R: thanks angre

An: are u missing him bhabhi

Riddhima blinked her eyes to fight back her tears

R: i have to go home angre
I will meet you later
Give my greeting to dadi

Angre nodded and bid her goodbye

Entering inside her apartment, riddhima dropped her bag and her certificate on the sofa

As she was drinking water, she heard some sounds from her bedroom

Assuming it to be a thief, she picked up the nearby vase

Taking slow steps, she reached near her room

She was about to smash the intruder's face when that person held her hand and pinned her to the wall

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE

SWEETHEART
I CAME EARLY TO SURPRISE YOU

R: do hell with your surprise
Why were you not in my graduation ceremony

V: sorry sweetheart
My flight got delayed
I landed just 15 minutes ago
So I thought why not plan a surprise for my angry bird

Riddhima pouted hearing him

Vansh leaned down and pecked her pout

Settling themselves on the bed, both enjoyed the cupcakes vansh had brought for riddhima

Riddhima's eyes watered as she remembered the scene of vansh drenched in blood

She felt vansh wiping her tears and kissing her forehead

V: it was the past sweetheart
Forget it

R: vansh

V: hmm

R: why did u decide to live here instead of vr mansion

V: that house was filled with bad memories riddhima
And people who don't value and cherish the love we bestow upon them
So it was better to create our own paradise
Rather than living in that hell
Besides
for me
HOME IS WHERE YOU RESIDE

R: i miss dadi and sia

V: don't worry
They are coming tomorrow to celebrate your graduation

R: really
But why tomorrow
Why not today??

A naughty smile appeared on vansh's face hearing her

V: because
I told them
That today i want to celebrate with my wife

Riddhima blushed profusely as vansh pulled the blanket upon them

The end.
