Riddhima was looking here and there. It was quite a cherish type pub. The dance floor was open and some was already dancing. She smiled looking at those happily couples. They look so adorable for her. While, scanning her eyes fell on a particular person who was seating alone at the corner with few guards standing beside him. He was sipping his drinks lonely without any companies which was none other than her husband Vansh Raisinghania..

She hurriedly turns her eyes avoiding him. She didn't want to have any encounter with him at least not here in front of  Sejal  who she lied about her husband whereabouts.

Sejal walked towards Riddhima holding a glass of juice and beer in her hand. A beautiful smile adored on her face.

Sejal: "So how is your life Riddhima..?"

Riddhima: "Good.." She replied shortly. There were again pin drop silences between them. Their eyes were probably looking at the dance floor. Riddhima slowly looked a side to see her husband. He was still drinking and until now he hasn't realize that they are in a same pub.

Sejal: "How is your brother..? Still single..??" Riddhima raised her one brow.

Riddhima: "Why..? Does it have anything to do with you..?"

Sejal (Trying to be comfortable): "No No No.. I was just asking.."

Riddhima: "Relax Sejal.. I didn't say anything yet so stop being nervous. Yeah.. He is still single.." Sejal smile broadly only to make Riddhima too smile on her bestie, who has crush on her brother.

Both the ladies were enjoying their drinks. Riddhima totally forgot that her husband is also here around her. She was really having a lot of fun with Sejal after such a long time. It reminds her of her old days. However, they didn't notice there is a pair of eyes looking at them. His eyes were glued on his wife. Not to say he was shocked nor he was surprised. He knew she was here. He had been told by Angre..

One hour passed, Riddhima and Sejal were still in talking term. Their chats weren't coming to end. That's when Sejal's mobile rang in between interrupting their talks.

She hurriedly answers her call as it was damn annoying. After, talking for some couple of minutes she finally cut the called with little frustrated..

Riddhima: "What happen..??"

Sejal: "I need to go now.. I just get a call from my head office that our China's clients wanted to see the portfolio of the designs before the meeting tomorrow. All my stuff and laptop is in my hotel room so I have to leave now.." Riddhima didn't argue much and let her go as her works revolves her professionalism.

They bid bye to each other hugging tightly surpassing the love of their beautiful friendship that they share for years.

Riddhima was again back in the Pub. She wanted to spend some time more here. She wasn't in a mood to return home as there is nothing that she can do all alone in the big Mansion. She was sipping her drinks with her eyes scanning through the pub. She tried to look at her husband from the corner of her eyes but yet again she failed as she thought he didn't knew anything yet.

The pub was now occupied with the crowded. Some of them don't even have place to seat and some were standing near the bar counter. Riddhima was still lost in her own world till she didn't notice three random guys came and seat besides her sharing the same table.

Boy 1: "Hope you don't mind sharing this table with us.. It was empty so.. [PAUSE] Hi.. I'm Danny and this two is my friend Bunty and Ben.." He started to introduce himself to her.

Riddhima was feeling little uneasy here and she wasn't in term of sharing her table with anyone. She thought of excusing herself.

Riddhima: "Ermm.. You can take this table.. I'm leaving now.." She was about to stand up but in sudden her hand been caught by Danny..

Danny: "So early gorgeous..? I just thought of treating you a drink.." Riddhima tried to pull out her hand from his grips..

Riddhima: "Thank you.. But I'm not interested.."

Ben: "Wow.. Attitude na..?? Most of the girls are same.. First they will deny but later after showing money they are even ready to go against their dignity and their so call principle.." He taunts her..

Riddhima (Angrily): "Look.. If a girl said NO means NO.. Respect her request..!" They started to laugh at her. For them it was a joke indeed..

Bunty: "We will respect you only if you respects our request.. Oh come on.. It's only matter of a drinks nothing else.." They started to misbehave with her pulling her forcefully making her sit on the seat yet she was struggling to come out from their grips.

The crowded in the pub seem didn't put much attention as it was the routine of the pub member finding their prey every nights.

Riddhima started to look around. Her eyes were only finding her husband and that's when she saw him walking towards her probably. Her heart jump in excitement as she thought he will rescue but to her disappointment he just passed by without even glancing at her. Her heart sink after noticing his neglected even after seeing his wife been mistreat in front of his eyes and still he didn't care to stop all this mishaps?

Danny: "What are you looking at? No one is going to save you.. This is our place so obviously they don't have guts.." He said evilly..

Ben: "I guess she want more than a drink.. Let's dance together.." They started to pull her towards the dance floor.

She was screaming and shouting for helps but none of them bother. Even some saw them misbehaving with her but no one stood for her. She was on verge of crying as their hand started to roam on her body.. Disgusted..! That's what she feels now..

The gang of the youngsters was about to push her in the crowded but the firm hold on her wrist wasn't letting her move an inch. She had been pulled by a hard grip making her collapse on the hard chest of the respective person.

She clenched the collar as she knew it was her husband touch. She can never ever forget his touches ever. Vansh possessively wrapped his one arm on her shoulder pulling her closer. His eyes were staring at those assholes.. He purposely didn't interrupt because he didn't want to come in between her life and anything that revolves around her..

Ironically, he can't see her in pain even she had given her several pains..

Danny: "Now tell me who are you..??" He leaves Riddhima behind and started to take few step ahead. He was drunk. His red eyes were expressing his anger.

Vansh (Grabbing Danny's collar): "Tumare baap ka bhi baap.. Vansh Raisinghania.." They were literally looking at each other in shock and fear.

Danny: "Kiii...ng..??" He stammered... Who doesn't know this man whom are currently ruling Mumbai on his fingertips.. Due to the crowd and the darkness in the pub they failed to recognize him. "Bhai.. Galti hogayi.. hum main maaf kardo.. (Sorry for the mistake.. Please forgive us..)" They plead for his mercy.

Vansh (leaving his collar): "Next time don't try to do such things again..?" They nodded hurriedly with a smile of grateful. "Now go.." They was about to take few step ahead but the sudden calls of Vansh was enough to make them turn.

He took out his revolver and pointed to them. Riddhima was stunned..! Her hands were trembling. She wasn't able request him to stop as he was way too fast. He started to shoots rapidly before everyone in the pub.

The pub was full with bloods and three death bodies were lying on the group. Vansh turn towards Riddhima who was looking dead. Her pale face and her fear were all around her. Her legs were glued on the ground.. He slowly took step towards her and cupped her cheeks.. A lone tear rolled down. Her whole body where literally shivering.

Vansh (Taking her tear in his mouth): "You tears are mine.." Her heart ached in pain. He used to claim them same before too. Only, she know how much she loves him saying this words seem all her sorrow been taken by him on his shoulder.

She looked in his eyes and his hands were still cupping her cheeks. The intensity of his eyes was showing that he was hurts. There were numerous of pain in them. He started to blink his eyes due to the alcohol effects.

He tried to stay but the alcohol was ruling his sense. He fell on her shoulder resting her chin for a support. She gets hold of him as he might fall down if she leaves him. "No one can touch Vansh Raisinghania's wife.. No one.. Tum sirf meri ho Riddhima.. Meri (You are only mine Riddhima.. Only mine..) I love you! I love you" he mumble in unconscious..  

**************************************

Vansh room

He was sleeping on his bed snoring softly. They return home one hour ago. Angre was the one in charge of those bodies and he strictly increased the force of escorts for his boss and his wife.

The entire CCTV and crowd in the pub been warn to not dare to open their mouth as they too would receive the same consequence that the three youngest received. Everything was under control. The police been informed a different story and some been bribed to close this chapter here.

Riddhima was seating at the edge of Vansh's bed literally adoring her husband. Her soft hands move to remove his hair stands which where disturbing his napes.

Vansh (mumbling in sleeps): "Don't touch me Riddhima.." She smiled.. He didn't waves off her hands but keeps warning her not to touch him. She smiled on his comments. She moves from there and settle herself on the sofa before his eyes. She didn't notice when she started to doze off on the sofa and a slumber took over her.

**************************************

The next morning..

Riddhima slowly open her eyes due to the pain she was having on her back. The sofa was quite hard and she wants able to toast much.

She rubbed her eyes trying to open them with a force. She seat on the sofa and tried to recognized the place thats when reality hits her. She hurriedly look here and there and her eyes caught her husband eyes who were staring her for don't know how many hours.. He was resting his back on the headboard of the bed and the duvets were still covering half of his body..

Riddhima: "Mor..Good.. Morning.." She tried to calm down the nervousness she was having within her.

Vansh (removing the duvet): "Next time don't go pub alone.. This kind of place is not safe for you.. If you really wanted to go than take the guards inside along with you.." He wakes up from his lying posture. She was just looking at him in blurred.. "Don't think I'm giving you importance.. I'm just doing a duty of a husband. Even I don't wish to do any but you are bonded to me so keep alert.. I don't like to repeat my words every time nor I will be there to save you like always.." He said in one breath..

Riddhima: "I will.." She don't know why she was happy to hear his words. Even he was trying hard to make it spicy but yet it was full with concerns.

Vansh (Looking at her): "Will you mind to leave me alone..?? I'm not in a mood to entertain anyone here.." She nodded and started to walk out from the room.

He exhales a harsh breath trying to console himself. He checked his mobile history and that's when he saw a familiar Number. "ARYAN.." His cousin.. The only person whom he is in contact among his other family member..
