Having a soothing shower hot shower to calm her sore body, riddhima walked out of the restroom only to squeal in happiness seeing the entire bed loaded with different varieties of chocolates with a small teddy bear, with a "iam sorry" note attached to its round belly, placed in the centre

Dropping the towel where it was, she rushed to the bed and picked up her favourite one, her eyes sparkling with a rare shine, the one she always had in her orbs when she's around the love of her life, her vansh......

Wrapping it enthusiastically, her mouth watering at the thought of having the sweet treat melt in her mouth, riddhima took a large bite and smiled in satisfaction as a feeling of absolute peace washed over her

"Since you liked the surprise way too much....
I SUPPOSE I'M FORGIVEN"

Came a voice from behind as her amnesiac husband stood by the door with a huge smirk speared on his lips, which immediately faltered, as his gaze darkened seeing the chocolate smeared across the corner of her pink lips, as a sudden urge to lick it and experience its taste overwhelmed him....

CLEARLY IT WASNT THE CHOCOLATE THAT HE WAS DESIRING TO TASTE

"Huh...self centred...."

Riddhima muttered under her breath as she continued feasting on the sweet treat, ignoring him, making him frown

Settling himself beside her, he stared at her for a second or two before putting forward the questions he soo wanted the answers of....and whats best then having one answer it all when they soo engrossed in one thing or the other that the truth spills out of their mouth on its own

"Tell me something about your husband..."

"He's handsome, hot, smokinggggg....."

Riddhima praised him, recalling his greek god like features....her mouth as well as panties watering at the thought.....

"The way his neck veins pop up when he's thrusting inside me...ummm...."

Vansh's forehead scrunched at her description as an uncontrollable rage to throttle that son of a bastard , who dared to touch her and impregnate her with his child, flashed through his mind

"His long calloused fingers....his veiny hands....his broad milky chest...his beard.....god...is it hot in here...."

Cursing himself thousands of time for even asking her the stupid question which did nothing but turned him into a green eyed monster he was about to walk away when her beautiful dreamy smiled turned into a perfect pout

But he's also a big idiot....fool....pagal...badtameez and what not....always troubling me....

And not even get me started on his patience because honestly he had NONE....hence the reason i became pregnant even before completing one year of our marriage....."

Riddhima complained like a child while plopping a big piece of the almond loaded chocolate....

"And his baby...its same like him....

Huh....like father like baby....

You know this baby troubles me soo much...just like you....

And boy does it likes playing football in my stomach.....

As if my fragile little uterus is a big giant ball for him to play.....

And the morning sickness....i tell you....

Morning sickness??? Whom am i even kidding...its 24/7 sickness....

I cant even eat all my favourite food items...."

Riddhima sniffed loudly as tears loaded her eyes making vansh panic....

"And if all this wasn't enough...that idiot who happens to be my husband...had to forget me only out of the entire freaking world"

Her last statement got his attention as his ears immediately shot up

"What do you mean by forget you???"

He questioned, his voice hard as rock...bringing riddhima back to reality....

"I...i meant that he forgets me whenever he has work...you see he has been long gone on his work trip and hasn't visited me since then....not cool right???"

Riddhima explained, praying profusely that he would buy her's perfect white lie which he fortunately did, making her sigh in relief

"Uff riddhima...you are indeed a trouble magnet....."

..........................................................................

Dressed in a black jumpsuit, riddhima picked up her purse and walked down stairs only to be greeted by dadi who took the evil eye off her and caressed her hair affectionately

"Where are you off to riddhima???"

"I have my sonography today dadi...earlier vansh used to accompany me but today...."

Her voice becomes choked

"I guess i'll have to go alone...."

Kissing her forehead affectionately, assuring her that everything would be fine soon, dadi followed her upto the door and waved her a goodbye....

Adjusting her purse she was about to step out of the mansion when a black lamborgini stopped right infront of her making her frown

As the window rolled down, her frustration increased even more seeing the soo called mafia staring at her suspiciously

"Dont you know that none is allowed to leave the mansion without my permission "

He gritted as he took off his sunglasses, making her roll her eyes

"For your kind infront MR RAI SINGHANIA....i already took permission from an higher authority i.e DADI..
So yaa...I don't need yours..."

Damn this women...she knew just how to answer him back and piss him off...not to forget her special talent of having him wrapped around her little finger even if he didn't wanted to...or did he???

"Get in..."

He commanded in a no none sense tone

"BUZZ OFF..."

"I dont like repeating myself mrs riddhima....in my car...RIGHT NOW..."

Stomping her heels onto the floor angrily, riddhima opened the passenger's door and settled in

"Where do you wanna go??"

He questioned as he drove the car out of the mansion

"To the hospital...."

The car came to an abrupt halt hearing hospital

"Hospital??? Why??? Are you okay??? Did you got hurt??? Is it paining somewhere???"

He bombarded her with questions making her heart explode with love for him and hadn't he forgotten about her she would have pulled him right here for one long kiss...but alas....

"Say something....are you alright..."

"Vansh..."

She called out for him as she caressed his hand to calm him down

"Iam alright....
Iam pregnant and hospital visits are common
Soo relaxxxxx"

Taking a deep breath, he nodded his head and began driving again not asking her even once to remove her hand from his...

................................................................................

Being dragged by the doctor into the checking room, probably because she had assumed him to be the father of the baby, vansh stood there uncomfortably as the doctor requested riddhima to expose her belly, making his cheeks turn red...

RIDICULOUS.....

VANSH RAI SINGHANIA DOESNT BLUSH ALRIGHT

OR DOES HE????

Turning his face to the opposite side, not wanting to things even more awkward he heard the doctor call out for him

"Mr rai singhania why are you blushing...she's your wife only...and its not that you have tagged along her for check up for the first time...."

Vansh's forehead scrunched in confusion at her statement but before he could ponder over it, the doctor's voice distracted him

"Here's the baby..."

She said while pointing towards the monitor making a sudden urge to see it arise in vansh's heart as he turned around and looked at the monitor....his beautiful black orbs watering rapidly as the baby's heartbeat made its way to his ears

On their own accord, his fingers went onto the entwined with riddhima's making her cry out in joy

THE MOMENT WAS NOTHING BUT A PURE BLISS..

.............................................................................

NEXT DAY:

The entire day went by with no sign of riddhima, making vansh anxious with worry which subsided only when dadi confided in him that it was her parent's death anniversary hence the reason she had locked herself in the room and refused to eat at all....

Worried as hell, he had managed to make her have her meals through sia...which she took reluctantly...the sadness and pain clearly visible in her eyes and wanted nothing more than to hide her in his warm embrace and assure her that he was there for her FOREVER

Dipping her legs in the cool pool water, riddhima mindlessly stared at the shining moon which was half covered by the dark clouds making her tear up...she couldn't even watch her parents in the sky....oh how unlucky she was

Feeling someone sit beside her, she immediately wiped her tears and looked up to see vansh there

"Dont....dont hide them...let them flow....it will help lessen the pain a little"

Placing her head over his shoulder, as he wrapped his arm securely around her, riddhima cried and cried making his eyes water as well

"Why does it always happens with me vansh....
Why does the god whom I worship with my soul, always snatch people that i love....
Dont I deserved to be loved???
Am i that bad???
Am i that bad that the only identity god has given me is of an ORPHAN"

"Shhh...dont ever say that about your self ever again....
You...you are perfect riddhima
The one who knows how to love unconditionally....
You make everyone feel at home....

You know...i lost my parents too...at a very young age...

I broke down completely after my mother's death...i locked myself up and refused to talk to anyone for weeks and when I finally started coping up with that pain my father too followed after my mother....

A harsh burden of supporting and protecting my family fell upon my shoulders that day and it killed the child in me.....

It took away all my innocence and turned me into a beast......

You're not the only orphan here riddhima

Iam an orphan too....

Just like you.....

And I promise you...i'll be there for you...no matter what.....

You'll have me...and i'll have you SWEETHEART "

Riddhima eyes shot up hearing sweetheart from his mouth after soo long as she lifted her head from his shoulder and looked into his eyes which bore into hers

The world seemed to fade away, as the two broken souls inched forward their breaths mingling together as their lips met in a soft soulful kiss making bliss wash all over them

Cupping her face, he brought her closer, if that was even possible....

And kissed her LIKE HE MEANT IT...LIKE HE OWNED HER SOUL....LIKE SHE RULED HIS HEART

Until realisation crashed upon him like thunderstorm making him flinch back

"Oh my god...iam...iam soo i...."

Clearly devastated at his action, he got up and marched out of the pool area into the hall, cursing himself again and again, only to be stopped by riddhima

"Vansh stopp"

She screamed, as she held his hand

"Dont stop me...i...committed a sin...
You...you were vulnerable and i was supposed to console you not take advantage of your situation"

"Vansh..."

She called out for him softly

"You did nothing wrong..."

She tried to explain

"No nooo...i did...you are a married women...you are pregnant with your husband's child....you probably kissed me back thinking me to be him...BUT IAM NOT..."

Cupping his face in her small hands, she slowly caressed his beard....

"No vansh....my husband....its..Y..."

"IAM HER HUSBAND...."

Came a voice from behind them...making them freeze in their spot
