VANSH: Jaan yesterday you slept wearing your lehenga only with jweleries. So I removed your jweleries & Choti Maa & Ishu changed your outfits. You got your periods jaan yesterday night. Are you feeling any pain?

RIDDHIMA: Thank you Vansh. You don't need to say anything I trust you completely & regarding pain it just sucks.

VANSH: I can't take your pain jaan but I'll try my level best to reduce it.

Riddhima just kissed on his jaw. Both sat on bed. Vansh's back was on bed rest while Riddhima was sitting side hugging him.

VANSH: Jaan you were disturbed yesterday during wedding ceremony.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh you know I was just 18 when they forcefully got me married. They got me married on the next day of my 18th birthday. I....I....

She couldn't speak further & broke down crying vigorously. She was trembling & her breathes were turning heavy. Vansh immediately started rubbing her back & with cupping her face with one hand made her look into his eyes.

VANSH: Don't panic sweetheart. You are safe see I'm with you. Jaan try to take deep breaths.

He was constantly rubbing her back softly & was caressing her cheeks.

RIDDHIMA: Va...Vansh w..woh...

VANSH: Relax jaan calm down see your Vansh is with you only. We all are with you me, Kiyaan, Angre & all other family members.

RIDDHIMA: A...All.... ar...are... wi...with... m...me....???

VANSH: Haan Jaan all are with you & all love you so much.

RIDDHIMA: A...All... lo....love... m...me???

VANSH: Haan Jaan all love you so much.

Riddhima was asking all this with her cute doe shaped innocent eyes & with red teary face & hiccups. She just hugged him & was sobbing in his arms. Meanwhile Uma knocked the door.

UMA: Bacho come fast breakfast is ready.

Riddhima just looked into his eyes & shaked her head in no.

VANSH: You don't wanna go to have breakfast.

RIDDHIMA: No ple..please just stay clo..close to me like this. I don't wa..want to go any...anywhere... Ple...Please na Va...Vansh (said while sobbing).

VANSH: Okay kahi nahi jaenge hum. Par mein Maa se baat kar loo ki woh tumhari medicines nikal de aur humara breakfast bhi bhej de.

Riddhima just nodded & hided her face in his arms.

UMA: Bacho..

VANSH: Maa aap please andar aa jao.

Uma came inside.

UMA: Good Morning Bacho.

VANSH: Morning Maa.

Riddhima didn't responded. Uma came towards bed & forwarded her hand to caress Riddhima's hairs.

UMA: Riddhima beta..

But Riddhima flinched hearing her name & she hugged Vansh tightly & snuggled more close to him. Vansh just caressed her hairs.

VANSH: Koi nahi Jaan relax.

Vansh looked at Uma & nodded in no saying don't call her. Uma raised her eyebrow asking what happened Vansh blinked saying he'll share afterwards.

VANSH: Maa closet mein right side 3rd drawer mein Riddhu ki medical kit hain please la do.

Uma nodded & bought it.

VANSH: Thank you so much Maa. Aap please breakfast bhej dengi room mein.

Uma was confused. Vansh signalled to check her phone he had already messaged her when he went to bring medical kit. Uma blinked her eyes & checked her phone & found Vansh's message.

VANSH: Riddhu bahot panick ho rahi hain, bahot ro rahi hain Maa. Ese hi rahegi toh panick attack aa sakta hain usse. Bahot mushkil se shant kiya hain usko. Kisi se milne ki ya baat karne ki halat mein nahi hain isiliye it's better ki woh thode time akele rahe. That's the reason aap ne uska naam liya na toh woh bas dar gai hain. Also she got her periods yesterday night so it's also adding to her state.

Uma read this message & blinked her eyes. She left the room & went to kitchen.

UMA: Ramu Kaka Vansh aur Riddhima ka breakfast trolley mein rakh dijiye.

Then she started preparing hot chocolate & hot water bag. Then she put that also in trolley. She went to Vansh's room with that trolley. She knocked the door.

UMA: Vansh...

VANSH: Haan Maa please aap aa jaiye.

Uma went inside & kept the trolley beside bed & went closing the door. Till then all gathered at dining table for breakfast.

AKSHAT: Uma beta Vansh aur Riddhima nahi aae?

UMA: Papa woh Riddhima kuch pareshaan si hain so unka breakfast main room mein de aae.

AKSHAT: Kya hua usse?

UMA: Pata nahi Papa Vansh ne bataya ki woh panick ho rahi hain aur ro bhi rahi hain.

CHANCHAL: Bhabhi woh kal raat bhi sleeping pills leke so gae thi.

ISHANI: Haan Badi Maa Bhabhi ne change bhi nahi kiya tha wapas aa kar ese hi so gae thi.

AJAY: Main dekh ke aata hoon.

UMA: Rehne dijiye Ajay woh kisi se milne ya baat karne ki halat main nahi hain. Maine baat karne ki koshish ki toh usne dar ke Vansh ko tightly hug kar liya. Kuch der ke liye akela chod dete hain usse, Vansh sambhal lega.

Ajay just nodded. Everyone had their breakfast.

IN VANSH'S ROOM,

VANSH: Jaan dekho koi nahi hain yahan humare alawa chalo ab freshen up ho jao phir breakfast bhi karna hain na.

Riddhima tilted her head & looked at him with her cute doe shaped teary eyes.

VANSH: Please jaan dekho tum agar breakfast nahi karoge toh medicines kese kahoge aut agar medicines nahi khaoge toh you'll deteriorate your health na. I promise Riddhu main kahin nahi jaunga aur koi aaega bhi nahi.

RIDDHIMA: Pehle door lock kar do.

VANSH: Okay.

He kissed her forehead lovingly & then stood up & closed the door. When he came back to Riddhima he saw that she again started crying. Vansh cupped her face.

VANSH: What happened haan why my Jaan is crying?

RIDDHIMA: Wo...Woh Va...Vansh... I...I'm....Sor....Sorry..... I....I...

She said pointing towards bed & his track. Vansh saw that it was having blood stains. He just hugged her.

RIDDHIMA: I..I did...didn't... wan....wanted.... t...to.... mak....make....i...it... dir...dirty.....

VANSH: Shhhh... Jaan don't take stress about it. It's just your blood & I love it too. I love your everything & this blood mark is not a stain it's a mark that says you were there with me in this phase of life also. It makes me proud of it. I've no issue in it. Don't cry jaan my heart breaks seeing you like this.

Whispering sweet notings he made her calm. Vansh carried Riddhima in her arms & & took her to bathroom. He made her sit on vanity near sink & made her teeth brush. After that he wiped her face with water. Then he himself brushed his teeth. He again carried her in his arms & took her to bed & made her sit on it.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh yeh bigdega.

VANSH: Laundry mein clean ho jaega don't worry.

Then he took breakfast in the plate & made her eat & he ate himself too. After breakfast he made her eat her medicines.

VANSH: Jaan wanna take bath, you'll feel fresh.

RIDDHIMA: Hmmm....

VANSH: Wanna wash hairs?

Riddhima just nodded. She stood up to take bath but was feeling dizzy. Vansh supported her & took her to bathroom & made her sit in bath tub.

VANSH: Jaan you are not feeling well so I'll wash your hairs. Then you can complete your chores & come out.

Riddhima just nodded.

VANSH: Now close your eyes & relax.

Vansh with a massage washed her hairs. After that he went out while Riddhima came out completing her chores. Vansh till then changed the bed sheets & made bed ready for Riddhima to take rest. Till then Riddhima came out completing her chores wearing bathrobe. Seeing her Vansh again carried her in his arms & made her sit on chair near dressing table. He dried her hairs & applied moisturiser on her face & hands.

RIDDHIMA: Vansh I'll change & come.

VANSH: No need. Just take rest. Thodi der baad kar lena.

Riddhima just nodded. Vansh made her lay on bed & kept hot water bag on her abdomen & covered her with comforter. He kissed on her forehead & patting her head softly he made her sleep. Also due to medications she drifted to sleep soon. After that he went for shower & came back & then laid down beside her taking her in his arms. He was in deep thoughts about Riddhima. He saw her who was sleeping in his arms hugging him like a cute little girl. He pecked her forehead, two eyes, cute button nose & chubby cheeks. Seeing her pouty lips he smiled & gave a small peck which again brought a smile on her lips.
