The storm came,the wind blew,the raindrops beat the glass harshly.This was the weather which made people shiver and get into the thought to embrace shelter but this particular storm meant different meanings to different people.

Litting a cigar, Uma blew it as half of her face got covered by the smoke,half of her face revealed a deep understanding of situation.She seemed like she was thinking a lot of things.From the past one hour she has been standing in front of the same glass pane and contemplating on something deeply.Riddhima was kind of in trauma and this made Uma more harsh to think something more dangerous.

She knew Riddhima was a sweet girl though she could see traces of courage in her.She exactly reminded her of the past self of her.Wasn't she was exactly the same innocent person as Riddhima in the past but situations compelled her to act more harshly,and seeing today's situation she almost knew that things are not going to be easy and that Riddhima have to be empowered so that she could thrive in any situation.

She blew her cigar once again with a deep sigh and just then her phone went off,she glanced at her phone and without a second wasted,a deep rooted disgust caught her throat just seeing the called ID.Nonetheless she responded "Hello!"

******

Vansh ran his rough hands on Riddhima's hair.He was so thoughtful of her that though the woman in his arms had closed her eyes for rest and even she maybe in her dreams but he couldn't gather courage to get away from her.Just an hour ago he was so angry that he wanted to devour everything,he could have even done also but then came his mom who instilled a sense of sanity in him which made him tolerant but something else was going on his mind.

Just when he left Riddhima to his mom,he came up to wash himself thourougly just in case Riddhima doesn't feel disgust when she smells the scent of blood on him.While he immediately stripped himself and came into shower,he punched the wall harshly "Dammit,that person I will definitely not leave you.Riddhima is my everything,he knew that but he still dared to provoke the beast in me by trying to harm her" A dangerous anger was evident in his face,his eyes were bloodshot red and he was finding hard to control his mind to finish that person.

Just this thought crossed his mind,he gave a devilish grin,he bathed himself quickly and went to dress after which he could be seen executing one of his dangerous orders "Ace, get on work to track the location of my enemy and yes get the best person in this field so that the information could not be faked" he spoke and cut the call.

There was only two woman in his life whose lives mattered to him the most,one his mother and then Riddhima.Riddhima was the woman of his life.She was his soul and she was the person under whom he was in total control.His every belongings belonged to her and yet when this very soul was tried to be robbed by someone else,how could he stop doing anything and just sit.

He was the definition of devil and evil.Anyone who dares to eye on his family will have to suffer consequences,everyone must have known that and for that none of the enemy tried to get into his family matter but this particular enemy is the sole enemy who had the guts to get involved. "Well then ! I invite you to your death" Vansh made his decision and dropped to downstairs to get his queen.He can't leave her alone in this situation.

His mother really had a charistimatic influence over Riddhima.When Uma tried to make her understand,Riddhima perhaps was already aware of the danger lurking around her.But the most important thing was that this person who was hugging her right now,though new seemed so attachable.She couldn't help but hug Uma and cry in her arms she sobbed incessantly as if after a long wait she found someone who could give her the warmth and assurance as her parents did.

Between the melancholy sobs,she complained "Why, why is it like this ? I never asked for such a life.I was just at the verge of dying.I..I was so scared at that time" she really broke down in front of Uma while her hug turned tight.Uma could understand her feelings,she attempted to sooth her by soothing her hair and told her "This is what it is we say destiny Riddhima.I know you never asked for this but getting out of it is also difficult but see though we cannot undo our past but we can build a new future by deep understandings, isn't it ?"

The every drop that dropped from Riddhima's eyes held a deep impact on Uma.Wasn't she on the sane condition when she knew that her once beloved husband and family wasn't anymore.That day..... She closed her eyes in an attempt to not let her past melancholic feelings overpower her.She totally understands Riddhima,she totally understands,but she doesn't know what her soothing words should be,perhaps it was due to the fact that she was never provided those comforting words when she most needed it,instead of that she got herself tough and strong.She suddenly felt helpless.

Just then someone spoke "Mom let me take her" she looked up,she could see her son,her only son his red eyes,his feelings and his anger,she could sense everything but the most powerful feeling that emanated from him right now was that of love and care for the girl that was hugging her right now.She knew at once,this girl was the most important one for him.She never once heard the happiness in his words when they talked in the past exchanging their regular talks in phone as they stayed at distance from each other.But then this girl arrived in his life and lo as if a fresh rain fell in his drought like heart which rejuvenated the capacity to feel and love more in his heart.Yes ! She was the girl and now she must be protected at any cost because if anything was to happen to her,he wouldn't hesitate to burn everything that comes on his way of revenge.She slightly nodded her head and smoothed her hair.

Vansh bent and got his wife on his arms,whose eyes were still red due to constant sobbing.Seeing her like this his heart hurt,he listened to whatever she spoke to his mother but he knew her questions were genuine,her fear was genuine,and as he glanced at his wife once more he vowed that he would protect her from everything and give her the best of everything.

He then walked upstairs,as the guards opened the door to their bedroom,Vansh got her to the bed and offered her a glass of water.Riddhima on the other hand was too scared to do anything and didn't dared to do anything,she saw how devilish his attacks were at the attackers an hour ago and the attack was enough to instill a deep imprint of fear in her.

This was getting over Vansh more,he sat beside her but that too got her scared and she tried to get away from him.Finally he couldn't take it anymore and got her in his arms "Riddhima....." Riddhima sobbed badly in his arms, "shhhh....nothing will happen,I'm here no one will harm you ok?" Vansh tried to soothe her as if soothing a child but this got Riddhima to tug at his shirt with much force and sob.He was literally at the edge of his anger,he thought that once she stayed with him and become his she will never have to cry and what was this.....

Riddhima's sobs were just getting much louder and she was even starting to shake due to continuous crying,he at last disattached her and hold her cheeks "Riddhima" but she was as if she couldn't hear him "Riddhima" her tears flowed like forever "God dammit Riddhima" he swored and slammed his lips on her.As if jolted by lightning she became conscious and stared at the man who just slammed his lips on her.

She attempted to move away and push him away from her.But Vansh wasn't going to let go.If she was going to react by this way then let it be.He pushed her to the bed and once again slammed his lips on her,but though his initial attack on her lips were harsh,the subsequent ones became soft,he didn't forced to get inside her mouth as if his motive was not to lust her right now.Riddhima still tried her best to push him away just then she found one of his hands soothing her hair and the other one went inside her Kurta and he made small sensual rounds around her soft waist.The hand touching her hair went to her neck and he rubbed her there.Surprisingly this was so soothing to Riddhima then she could feel dizziness and sleepy.She was loosing her consciousness, she stopped crying and stopped pushing him away, instead of them her eyelids felt heavy.Just as she was about to take her last blink of her eyes she could hear her husband saying "Take rest sweetheart,we will talk afterwards.I will be always there for you.Don't worry just trust me". And just after that she lost the consciousness of the present world.

He recalled all the activities that happened in the past hour.A deep sigh left his mouth.The woman was still sleeping like without a care of this world.She had such an innocent face such an innocent charm.No matter how much he saw her he couldn't get over with it.He was looking at her since the time she slept,this loving feeling he couldn't get over with it.He slowly faced her and planted a loving kiss on her forehead.He knew this was not going to be easy and on the top of that she faced the accident first hand so he had to use tactics to soothe her.He got her acupuncture in her neck to soothe her.Thinking this,he took her hand and planted an another kiss there "Sweetheart,I will be just back " saying this he got up very sneakily.

He knew that he has to complete which he intend to.He wasn't going to get easy on anyone "Vansh is coming for your hunt Amar Raizada" saying this he stormed out of his room not before getting his guards on full alert outside his bedroom

"People say storms destroy, they really do so instead of loving them,one must find shelter to save themselves isn't it ? After all who knows what gets blown away in this storm or perhaps this storm becomes the sole reason of destruction of the only shelter left of yours, isn't it possible ?" A deep laugh came from the other side of the phone

Uma could see the tiny rain drops hitting the window shield,she could've got scared if she was the one of the past but she wasn't the past one anymore,though a disgusted feeling rose in her heart she still smirked and replied "Indeed, nothing really good comes out from that mouth. And yes storms may take away shelter but this is not the important thing,the important thing is that what it teaches ! It couldn't do anything to the ones who are strong and those who are fragile it gives the lesson that you should make strong holds for survival.Storm is actually a symbol of survival.Isn't there a popular saying (' Storm make trees take deeper roots)'

A short silence existed between them,before the other at the other hand spoke out "You're really something,Uma.You got yourself and that baby saved that day.I thought..." That man chuckles and continues "that day was the last day of the whole RaiSinghania clan but alas....you two are still there.I'm actually liking this cat and mouse game..don't you feel the same ?"

Uma could literally feel all the past abandoned emotions again,her loved ones getting killed,her husband,her family,the way she had to run with a baby,had to hide from the monsters and fight,and even now they are not at peace,she just said one phrase with a neat voice "Get ready,the real storm is coming" before she cut the call.

********

Though Riddhima's friends knew what had happened they couldn't even do a single thing.They were confined to their own wing of the mansion and guards were on constant guard.They were all sitting together and using cuss words against Vansh and his activities

"It have been so much better if Ridz had gotten married to Kabir than this walking atom bomb called Mr.Vansh RaiSighnia" Aryan spoke angrily

"Isn't it ? This marriage was against Ridz's wish and now she has gotten into such sh**" complained Sejal.

Ishani who was silently listening to all this at last spoke "I don't know anything but if anything would have happened to Riddhima I wouldn't have left him"

"Then why don't you do something against the person responsible for it" came the voice of the devil standing at the door,upon which the three friends looked at with a shocking face...
