Standing by the pool side, riddhima stared at the dark sky above her

It was dark really dark

Probably like her life

Feeling a pair of warm arms engulf her, riddhima smiled and turned towards him

V: kya baat hai??

R: ahana
I think woh thodi pagal hai
Kuch bhi bakwas kar rhe

She couldn't complete her sentence as vansh kissed her lips lightly

Riddhima rolled her eyes seeing his patience

V: tum mujh se kitna pyaar karti ho riddhima

Vansh asked out of the blue

R: apni jaan se bhi zyada

Was her prompt reply

V: or mujh par bharosa kitna karti ho

R: khd se zyada

V: prove it

He said in a demanding voice

Riddhima chuckled hearing him

R: if you want me to prove myself even after taking 2 bullets for you then okay
Tell me what i need to do

Riddhima said in a blank voice

Vansh was taken aback by her cold eyes and emotionless voice

No vansh

You can't fall weak

V: you see this ladder

R: yaa
It was not here before
Seems like it had been placed here for some special reason

V: climb it

R: okay

Riddhima said in a nonchalant voice and stared climbing it with great difficulty all curtesy to her heavy shimmery gown

Her feet got entangled in her dress and she was about to loose her balance

Vansh immediately came near to hold her but she steadied herself on her own

R: tumhari madat ki zaroorat nhi hai vansh

Main khd apne ap ko bacha sakti hoon

Pichle kch mahino se har mushkil se khd ko bachati aa rhe hoon

Ab adat ho gye hai

Tum ne toh vihaan ban kar mere liye mushkilein paida karne ke ilawa or kch nhi kiya

To say vansh was confused would be an understatement

She had constantly been throwing indirect taunts on him ever since they returned from glass house

Climbing on the top most step of the ladder, she looked back at him

R: ab kya??

Vansh hesitated for a bit but his ego reminded him of her betrayal

V: jump

Riddhima turned her head away from him

R: ek baat yaad rakhna vansh

Tum par bharosa kar ke yahan tak aye hoon

Or khoodon ge  bhi

Agar tum ne pakra nhi

Toh iss dard se ghut kr mar jaon ge ke tum par bharosa kar ke apni zindagi ki sab se bari galti kar de

Saying soo she left the ladder and let her body loose

There was not a single frown on her forehead or tension in her bones

Just as she felt she was close to the ground, a pair of hands held her body tightly almost as if his life was dependent on her

Riddhima opened her eyes to see sweat beats on his forehead

His eyes were red, probably because he was trying to hold back his tears

R: kya hua

Gir jane dete

Marti toh nhi main

Bas thodi chot lag jati

Inti se baat se dar gye

Ke itne kas ke pakra hai

V: yo...you jumped

Vansh managed to choke out

His throat felt parched as he tried to control his tears from falling

R: yes, i jumped

V: why??

R: because you asked me to

V: rid

Riddhima got down from his arms

R: mene apni trust ka proof de diya vansh

Ab tumhari bari hai

Vansh looked at her confused

R: send ahana away from here

Vansh's eyes widened as he realised riddhima knew about his plan

R: tum par bharosa kiya hai vansh

Sab kch jan ne ke baad bhi tumhe apne itne kareeb ane diya jitna aj tak kisi ko nhi, na vihaan ko na kabir ko

Tum par bharosa kar ke yahan se kood bhi gye

Ab iss bharose ko tootne mat dena

Wiping the tear that managed to escape his eyes

Riddhima patted his cheek lovingly and walked away

Leaving him rooted to his spot

TRUST

he wanted that from her only

So that he could break it

But could he

Could he do it?

The answer was as clear as crystal for him

Taking out his phone from his pocket he dialled a number

Yes boss

V: ANGRE
I WANT AHANA OUT OF THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW
AND MAKE SURE SHE NEVER SHOWS HER FACE TO ME OR RIDDHIMA EVER AGAIN

A: okay boss

If its a little trust she demanded from him

He would give her that

He would trust her

Just like she did

Cutting the call, angre looked at his bhabhi who was looking at him with hopeful eyes

A: he asked me to send ahana away from here

Riddhima closed her eyes as the tears she had been holding since soo long finally found their way  from her eyes

R: thank u angre
Thank u for trusting me and telling me about vansh's revenge plan

A: i have called you my sister bhabhi
How could i not

Coming close, riddhima engulfed angre into a brotherly hug

A: bhen kaha hai apko
Apni jaan de kar bhi apki raksha kroon ga
Phir chahe apne boss se gaddari he kyun na karni pare
Yeh wada hai mera

The end.
