Riansh were still in tub. Riddhima turned & wrapped his arms around his neck keeping her chin on his shoulders & entangling their legs. Vansh smiled & wrapped his one hand around her back & with one hand was caressing her head. She started playing with his wet hairs & sometimes was drawing patterns on his nape. 

VANSH/RIDDHIMA: I love you Jaan/Ansh....

Both smiled & looked in each other's eyes & joined their lips. They didn't moved their lips for sometimes & then slowly started pecking it. There was no hurry & both being wet & in water was adding fuel to their closeness & romance. Vansh started sucking her lower lips & she started sucking his upper lips. Both felt a blast of emotions in themselves & an intense urge to make each other feel loved & secured so they started playing with each other's hairs with one hand & caressing each other's back drawing patterns on it. They were sucking each other's lips softly & as gently as they could. Flashes came in Vansh's mind when Riddhima revealed that she is taking cocaine & sudden fear of losing her captured his mind again & he pulled her closer through her waist entangling their legs more closely. She gasped & taking opportunity he slided his tongue in her mouth tasting her mouth's every corner making the kiss more intense & she fisted his hairs in his palm tightly yet softly not hurting him. She too kissed him passionately. Soon they felt breathless & broke the kiss & hugged each other. Both were panting heavily & Riddhima was giving competition to tomatoes after this intimate cosy moment. Vansh smiled as he could feel that. None spoke for next 15 minutes. Riddhima slided down a little keeping her head near his heart. In this she saw that his shoulder was having a dark red mark. She sat in front of him & caressed it & looked in his eyes. 

RIDDHIMA: Yeh....

VANSH: Yeh aap hi ka artwork hain Mrs. Vansh. 

Riddhima frowned & seeing it he chuckled. 

VANSH: Remember you gifted me this gift in the morning itself.

Riddhima realised that she bit his shoulder in the morning. But again got confused because he spoke gift.

RIDDHIMA: Is this a gift for you?

She asked being all confused. He chuckled at her innocence & again pulled her & she wrapped her arms around his waist keeping her head on his heart. He kissed her forehead. 

VANSH: Yes because it's a love bite or you can say hickey. Getting what I'm trying to say?

She blushed & hided her face in him & he laughed at her innocence. 

VANSH: I love you meri Jaan.

RIDDHIMA: Love you too my sunshine. 

Riddhima took Vansh's phone & clicked their picture. Then she handed his phone to him.

RIDDHIMA: Ansh click our picture.

VANSH: Okay. 

Riddhima placed her lips on his cheek & he clicked the picture. He took her in back hug & moving her hairs to one side he kissed her shoulder & clicked their picture. They stayed there for sometime. 

VANSH: Chalo ab you get ready I'm going to that bathroom otherwise we'll catch cold. 

Riddhima nodded. Vansh got up & left the bathroom but not before kissing her forehead & eyes & closing the door went to another bathroom & got ready. Riddhima too got ready & both went to the parking. They were about to start the car & Mrs. Dsouza's call came informing them that all are awake. Vansh started the car. He first took the car towards beach area & from there he brought two cold bournvitas for both of them. Before going he ordered breakfast from near by stalls. Taking two cups he went to Riddhima who was sitting enjoying morning beach view. 

RIDDHIMA: Ansh kya leke aae hain aap?

VANSH: Cold bournvitas for both of us. Taste this you'll like it. 

She nodded with a faint smile.

VANSH : Kya hua?

He asked sitting beside her. She took a sip & closed her eyes relishing the taste.

RIDDHIMA: Jab choti thi na tab I used to drink this only. Pehle stove use nahi karna ata tha because I was much younger that time so I used to make this & drink it becuase I didn't have any option other than this. I liked it & then it became a habit because kai baar (she chuckled sadly). Sorry my mistake most of the times mujhe khana pasand nahi aata tha I was not so fond of vegetables from childhood itself aur daal sirf toor daal ki banti thi aur woh bhi mujhe pasand nahi aati thi. Toh jab bhi bhukh lage raat ko ya din mein, jab bhi I used to study late nights I used to drink this only. It was my one of the companion. You'll feel like I'm mad but there were times that I used to cry at night & used to share my heart with this (she raised her cup of bournvita chuckling sadly) cold bournvita. 

At last her eyes became glassy & her chin started wobbling. He side hugged her. She just kept her head on his heart. He kissed her forehead.

VANSH: I'm sor...

Bit Riddhima placed his palm on his mouth stopping him. He kissed her palm.

RIDDHIMA: You didn't hurted me Ansh. You know even when I used to get good marks in tests & exams ya phir I used to get a good position in any competition I used to treat myself with this could bournvita only. I never drank anything except this. But I also don't know that how & when I got changed myself & I lost these things. Thank you for gifting myself. 

Saying this she kissed on his heart. He smiled & pecked her nose. Both completed their drink & taking breakfast drove to mansion. 

RIDDHIMA: Ansh I don't want to hide this matter from any family member so I want you to share this with everyone.

VANSH: Par Jaan....

RIDDHIMA: Nahi Ansh main nahi kar paungi aur aap hi kehte hain na ki both are one so olease aap yeh kar dena.

He nodded not wanting to stress her more. Talking casually & stealing small cute romantic moments they reached mansion. Everyone were in garden itself waiting for them. Even Neela was sitting with them as she insisted because she didn't wanted to miss family time & also she was missing Riddhima badly. Taking breakfast both directly went to garden. Seeing Riddhima normal all took a breath of relief. They were about to reach near them but she got a phone call. 

VANSH: Ye bags mujhe dedo, I'll take it. You go & finish the call quickly otherwise breakfast will turn cold. 

Riddhima nodded handing bags to him. It was a call from Ajit. Vansh went & kept the bags on coffee table & wished everyone good morning. He saw that all were waiitng to know about Riddhima.

VANSH: Don't worry Riddhu is fine. Thik hain woh.....

KIYAAN/ANGRE: Sach main na Bhai.....

VANSH: Don't stress yourself you both she's fine. Also she's putting her full efforts to be normal so I guess we should co - operate. 

All nodded. Siya called Mrs. Dsouza to set the table for breakfast. 

NEELA: Beta aap dono ne kuch khaya piya?

VANSH: Don't worry Mami Sa hum dono ne koi meals skip nahi ki hain. Infact abhi bhi hum khali pet nahi aae hain. 

ANGRE: Bhai don't joke hum Di ko jante hain when she is upset or angry she would never eat. 

VANSH: I know but I'll make sure she skips her this habit completely. 

KIYAAN: You mean unhone kha liya bina koi tantrums ke?

SIYA: Kiyaan jab esa hota tha pehle toh aap aur Angre Bhai kya karte the?

ANGRE: Siya she'll throw hell of tantrums & we used to manofy her to eat.

KIYAAN: Not that we didn't liked her throwing tantrums we loved her throwing tantrums infact hum toh chahte hain ki woh har baat pain tantrums dikhae like she used to  e with Maa & Papa & we will manofy her. Dar toh has do baat ka lagta hain unki iss adat se unki health kharab hone ka aur dusra unke gusse se.

ANGRE: Bhale hi woh gusse mein she'll not tell us anything but phir bhi unka gussa is the last thing on the earth anyone will wish to see.

VANSH: She is still the same she still throws lots of tantrums & being so stubborn but when it comes to her health no stubbornness allowed. 

Till then Mrs. Dsouza came to inform that table was ready. Vansh saw that she was still talking on phone with frowned eyebrows. Anyone can say that she was at the verge of blasting with anger. Vansh shook his head in disbelief. 

SIYA: Kiyaan, Angre Bhai jao aap dono hi Di ko bulake aao. 

Hearing it their face fell as they were guilty hurting her. Vansh understood it.

VANSH: You all go I'll call her. 

All nodded. Vansh went to her & signed her to come for breakfast. She answered showing 5 minutes. He sighed. He leaned & spoke huskily in her ear.

VANSH: Sweetheart cut the call as it's breakfast time or I'll have my own ways to have you & me our breakfast. 

Hearing it she was surprised at his naughty talks while he smiled naughtily rolling his tongue inside his cheek. She glared at him talking on call.

VANSH: Try me once I won't disappoint. 

He said eyeing her lips with a naughty smirk asking should he go with his style of breakfast. She knew he won't budge so she cut the call & punched his torso with her elbow. He chuckled & she shook her head in disbelief but at last ended up smiling with a blush. He again laughed seeing her blushing. 

RIDDHIMA: Trust me you won't like to get punched by me again as it'll be really hard this time if you won't stop teasing me.

She said with angry pout. He chuckled seeing her irritated & wrapping his hands around her shoulders pushed her to outdoor dining table & made her sit. Everyone smiled seeing them & mentally prayed to keep them like this till eternity. 

PRITHVI: Beta kya lae hain aap dono breakfast main?

VANSH: Mama Sa breakfast main hain Idli, Dosa, Medu Vada, Vada Sambhar, Aloo Paratha, Fafda Gathiya, Jalebi aur Mami Sa ke ke favourite rasgulla. 

SIYA: That means sab ki pasand ka kuch na kuch hain.

Vansh nodded with a smile.

VANSH: Also try these dishes, these are damn yummy, though it's from roadside stalls but the taste is really delicious. 

All nodded with a smile.
