VANSH: Jaan what's stopping you?

RIDDHIMA: Ansh I don't know. There are many things but I don't know how to do?

VANSH: It's Okay Sweetheart. I'm always there you can do it whenever & however you want to share.

Riddhima nodded. Vansh just tilted his head a little & faced her. He then lovingly put her hair strands behind her ears & joined their forehead & nose. Both closed their eyes.

VANSH: Jaan kis baat ka dar lag raha hain tumhein?

Hearing him Riddhima just opened her eyes & saw that he was already looking at her. He cupped her face with one hand & was rubbing his thumb on her cheeks.

VANSH: Hum sab hain na Jaan you don't need to fight alone with everything. Promise won't let you happen anything. Kya hua baat toh batao?

RIDDHIMA: An...Ansh... itni khushiyan hain... par dar lagta hain inehin khone se, kuch hua toh I won't be able to live without you all. (with heavy voice)

VANSH: Mrs. Raisinghania aadat dal lijiye in khushiyon ki ye toh aap ko chod ke jane se rahi par aage isse bhi zyada khushiyan aap ka wait kar rahi hain.

RIDDHIMA: Promise? (she asked like a cute little kid)

VANSH: Promise meri Jaan.

Saying this he placed a kiss on her forehead. She smiled at him & kissed his cheek.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh woh Rehaan ka call aya tha.

VANSH: Hmm I'll talk to him.

RIDDHIMA: Aur maine Papa se baat kari aur bola ki we'll be late. Aap so rahe the na toh I thought to let you sleep phir regular days pe toh aap ko jaldi jag na hi hota hain. Also you love to sleep na.

He just pecked her tip of nose.

VANSH: Thank you. Ab chalo ready hoke breakfast kar lete hain.

Riddhima nodded. Both went down & completed their morning chores. Riddhima was getting ready but Vansh by mistake came to the room while Riddhima was in petticoat & blouse. She was trying to tie the strings & hooks. Both were shocked. Vansh immediately turned & his back was facing her.

VANSH: I'm sorry Riddhu woh mere apne room mein knock kar ke aane ki adat nahi hain na isiliye.

RIDDHIMA: It...It's O...Okay.

Vansh closed his eyes & turned his face a little.

VANSH: Help kar du kya?

Riddhima saw his eyes were closed & god knows what happened to her that she said yes. Vansh knew her hesitation so he helped her with closed eyes. She was admiring him all the while that how this man always wins her heart & tears rolled down her eyes. After getting her girl ready he took her downstairs for breakfast.

During breakfast,

VANSH: Jaan I know tumhein vishwas nahi hain bhagwan mein par mera bahot man kar raha hain Eklingji mandir jane ka.

Riddhima took his hand in hers.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh aap ko please bolne ki zaroorat nahi hain. I don't trust God par aap ko toh hain na. I'll come for you. Aage se aap esa kabhi nahi karenge, kabhi bhi aap ko kahi bhi jana ho you'll tell me without any hesitation. Ansh you've all rights on me & I want you to enjoy those rights.

Saying this she kissed his knuckles. While Vansh too nodded & smiled at her kissing her hands.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh hum wahi se direct Jodhpur ke liye nikal jaenge. Aap arrangements karwa dijiye tab tak main kuch lunch ke liye pack kar deti hu.

VANSH: It's Okay Jaan hum kahi bahar lunch kar lenge.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh kal hum wese bhi puri raat terrace par soe the aur thand bhi thi, mujhe toh adat hain usse bhi zyada thand mein rehne ki par aap ki health ke saath mein koi risk nahi le sakti. Isiliye I'll prepare something healthy & you'll eat it. Also aap ko jane se pehle kadha bhi peena hain.

VANSH: Jaan kadha nahi please.

RIDDHIMA: Please na Ansh I don't want to take risk with your health.

Vansh pouted while Riddhima giggled. Riddhima went to kitchen while Vansh packed their luggage & made other arrangements & talked with Vardhan to clear the security process. Till then Riddhima made Sandwiches & wraps for them. Then she prepared Kadha & made Vansh drink it. Then both went to car.

VARDHAN: Mam, Sir aap dono aaj iss car mein jaenge. Aur mein aur driver aap ki car mein rahenge.

VANSH: It's Okay Vardhan. I'll drive the car.

VARDHAN: Sorry Sir par beech mein rasta kharab hain isiliye aap drive nahi kar sakte. We can't risk & also it's matter of your comfortableness.

RIDDHIMA: Okay get into the cars.

They all settled in the cars & went to Eklingji temple. All the way she was just thinking what all happened in morning. Meanwhile Vansh's phone rang. It was from his friend.

VANSH: Hii kesa hain tu?

FRIEND: All good. Tu bata Mr. Businessman kahan khoya hua hain? Na toh group outings mein hota hain aur nahi sports club mein.

VANSH: Nothing much yaar just a but busy in new industry of real estate. Tum batao what's going on?

FRIEND: Actually I'm getting engaged this Sunday. So tujhe invite karne ke liye call kiya hain. Waise toh tujhe ghar pe invitation send kar diya hain par pata chala tu nahi hain isiliye call kiya.

VANSH: Ohh yah first of all a very congratulations buddy & secondly sorry yaar because I won't be able to come yaar. Actually plans with family are already done & also main Jaipur mein nahi hu otherwise would have surely attended.

FRIEND: Arrey yaar try to adjust na. We've all not met you since long time.

VANSH: Sorry yaar buddy but I promise I'll make it up to you soon.

FRIEND: Okay chal bye.

VANSH: Bye.

They cut the call.

RIDDHIMA: Kya baat hain Ansh anything urgent?

VANSH: Nothing it's engagement of my friend on coming Sunday so he called to invite. We were friends from school days.

RIDDHIMA: Ohh.

VANSH: Let me show you.

He opened his Instagram & there was a video where he was proposing his girlfriend & as she said yes they both kissed while others were hooting.

VANSH: You know Jaan these both are my friends. They're in relationship since school days.

Vansh was sharing those memories. She pressed the button & a glass partition divided front seats & back seats giving them privacy. She kept her head on Vansh's shoulder & wrapped her arms around his waist. Vansh smiled & kissed her forehead & rounded his arm around her shoulder.

VANSH: Kya baat hain Jaan, kuch kehna chahti ho?

RIDDHIMA: Ansh aap ko kabhi man nahi karta ki...

VANSH: Ki...

He knew what she was saying but he wanted her to be comfortable with him so he didn't spoke & let her speak.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh woh...

VANSH: Don't hesitate tell...

RIDDHIMA: Baki couples ki tarah kiss karna aur yeh intimate moments.

Vansh pulled her in his lap & took her in his arms.

VANSH: Jaan I won't lie haan man karta hain bahot man karta hain to kiss you. I want to kiss you & take all the things that are hurting you by kissing you. I want to stop you from crying & wanna express that you're not alone by kissing you. I want to kiss you to shower with all those feeling which I've in my heart. But before that I wanna you to be comfortable & willing during those moments because I guess it should be the most beautiful memories & way of expressing rather than ki sab karte hain aur hota hain couples ke beech toh hona chahiye. Most important thing behind is sharing of emotions. I've also lots of many other ways for it so it's not that important ki woh hum kare ya na kare. Jab tak tum comfortable nahi hogi we won't take those steps no matter even when we get married also. If you're even not comfortable throughout the life then also I'm more than happy. It doesn't matter because it's a part of relationship not whole relationship depends on it.

Riddhima just wrapped her arms around his neck & snuggled to him. He just tightened his hold. He was caressing her continuously while she with teary eyes was talking to herself.

RIDDHIMA: Aaj jo subhah hua woh mujhe woh sari cheeze yaad dilata hain. Par ab mujhe unhein chodna hoga apne liye nahi par Ansh ke liye. Unhein bhi toh ek normal couple ki tarah apne moments jeene ka hak hain. Koi aur hota toh mujh par hak jamata aur kuch bhi kar sakta tha. Par Ansh humesha mere liye sochte hain. Aaj unhone ek pal ke liye bhi mujhe uncomfortable feel nahi karaya.

She was remembering how being so close to her also he always kisses her forehead. How he helped her in hooking blouse & tieing strings of blouse with closed eyes. A beautiful smile crept on her face & she blushing hided her face in him snuggling close to him.

VANSH: Jaan kya hua?

RIDDHIMA: I like you Ansh I like you so much.

VANSH: Like you too Sweetheart.

Both were enjoying the warmth being in each other's embrace.
