Dressed in a heavy bridal lehnga riddhima sat in the centre of the bed looking around at the room in a disinterested manner

And why not

Her parents had forcefully gotten her married to their childhood bestie's son, VANSH RAI SINGHANIA, when she had clearly told them that she was not interested in the topic of marriage

She came out of her thoughts hearing the door open and looked up to see her newly wedded husband entering inside

Coming near her, he sat infront of nervously

V: riddhima i

I know you might be having many expectations from your life partner but iam sorry I can't fulfill any of those

I...i was not interested in this marriage at all

I tried to convince my parents but they were way too stubborn

He looked at her guilty expecting her to slap him hard across his face but to his shock

With a beautiful smile on her face, riddhima threw away her veil and got up from the bed hurriedly removing her jewellery

R: thank god you were not interested in this marriage just like me

Do you have any idea how much worried i was

I was not at all ready to act as a shy bride dying at the thought of her wedding night with her husband

Vansh looked at her amused

V: so you were forced by your parents too

R: duhh

Vansh took a sigh of relief

V: so lets make a peace deal

R: we will pretend to be a happily married couple infront of our family but behind close door we will be free birds

V: great

By the way, why didn't you wanted to marry me?
Do you have someone in your life??

R: nope

I didn't wanted to marry only

Neither you nor someone else

What about you??

V: I don't believe in marriage and love

Riddhima looked at him surprised

R: why??

V: because i have seen my mom and dad

Vansh said sadly remembering how his mom and dad fight like sworn enemies on every single topic and it was no secret that they both were secretly cheating on eachother

Riddhima looked at him sympathetically and squeezed his hand to comfort him

Vansh simply gave her a small smile

Picking up her clothes riddhima went to the restroom to change whereas vansh changed in the room itself

Settling on the bed, both fell into a deep slumber

A few weeks later:

Riddhima was busy combing her hair when her phone rang

Her face lit up seeing her best friend sejal calling her

Picking up her airpods she connected them to her phone and answered the call

At the same time vansh entered inside the room

R: hi sweetheart

Vansh looked at her startled

She has never called him sweetheart before than why was she doing it now

But he couldn't help but smile hearing sweetheart from her mouth

V: hi

R: how are you

V: i...iam good
What about you

R: iam great

How was your day???

V: it was tiring
Had alot of meetings today

R: did you miss me sweetheart

V: y...ya i...i missed you

Suddenly riddhima's eye fell on the mirror

She saw vansh standing by the door with a huge smile playing on his lips

Turning around, she took her airpods

R: vansh, when did you came??

Vansh looked at the airpods in shock

V: you were talking on the phone??

R: umm yaa
Were you saying something to me??

V: no
Not at all
Excuse me

Taking out his clothes from cupboard vansh went inside the restroom

V: here she was talking on the phone and I thought she was talking to me

By the way, who was she talking to

And she was calling the person sweetheart

Was that her boyfriend

But she said that she had none in her life

What if she found someone

Vansh said with jealousy dripping from his voice

V: whoever that bastard is

Iam gonna send him to god

Placing his head against the door, he tried to listen to her conversation

R: yaa i'll meet you tomorrow

At our favourite place

Okay bye sweetheart

V: huh
Mujhe toh kabhi sweetheart nhi bulaya or uss gadhe ko kese sweetheart sweetheart kar rhe hai

Wait a minute

Why am I getting jealous???

Am i starting to feel for her???

Next day:

Adorned  in a black mini dress, riddhima was about to step out of the room when vansh locked the door and placed the key in his pocket

R: vansh
Open the door
Iam getting late

V: you are not going anywhere

R: what??
Why??

V: riddhima i know we both were not interested in this marriage
But now
I...i have started feeling for you
I want to spend my life with you

Riddhima looked at him shocked

R: you like me??

Vansh nodded his head in yes

R: i like you too

Riddhima said shyly

Vansh's happiness knew no bound

He immediately took her into a bone crushing hug

R: acha listen na
I have to go now
I will he back within 3 hours

V: no
Plz don't go to meet that bastard whom you were calling sweetheart yesterday

Riddhima's eyes widened hearing him

R: are you jealous mr rai singhania

V: yes
I swear to god if i saw that bastard anywhere near you i will rip him apart

Riddhima bit her lips to stop herself from busting into laughter

Coming near him, she sneaked her arms around his neck and pecked his cheeks

R: vansh
Do you know whom i was talking to yesterday

V: someone you call sweetheart

Vansh said grumpily

R: and do you know who my sweetheart is??

V: no

R: its SEJAL

Vansh's looked at her stunned whereas riddhima burst out into laughter seeing his expression

V: theek hai theek hai
Hota hai kabhi kabhi
Galatfehmi ho jati hai

R: awe you are too cute

Saying soo riddhima pulled his cheeks lovingly

grabbing her waist, he pulled her close to him making her breath hitch

V: what happened
Wont you call me cute now??

R: i...i

She closed her eyes in anticipation seeing vansh lean forward to kiss her

V: may i??

He asked like a thorough gentleman

Nodding her head, riddhima gave her consent

As their lips moved against eachother both couldn't help but feel blessed.

The end.
