Riddhima stood by the window, tears rolling down her does shaped eyes, she had never felt this humiliated before, although since the day she had stepped inside vr mansion she had been a constant punching bag for everyone, but today was her birthday for heaven sake, although she was an orphan, her all birthdays had been special, all thanks to her friends but today the way she was humiliated was beyond the tolerance level, first of all that stupid red juice that splashed all over her while cutting the cake, she was damn sure it was done by ishani, that witch hated her to no extent and that too because she was middle class and an orphan, haven't that witch seen herself, living on her brother's hard earned money and showing off as if she owns the world. If that was not enough, vihaan made her wear a money garland insulting her more.

Vihaan entered the bedroom and saw riddhima standing by the window, eager to tease her more, he came and stood beside her but was shocked to see her tear sticken face
Vi: dollar biwi, whats this, today is your birthday and you are crying, haven't i told you, today i don't want to see any stress on the bday girl's face
R: leave me alone vihaan
Vihaan was surprised by her broken voice
Turning her towards himself, he cupped her face and said in a soft voice
Vi: whats wrong riddhima
Riddhima simply moved his hands away and went out of the room.
In sia room:
Riddhima sat by an unconscious sia, caressing her hair lightly
R: you know sia, only you and dadi are the ones who love me dearly here, rest all hate me to no extent
You know today i felt soo humiliated infront of everyone, this was the worst bday of my life
Every year my friends used to arrange a surprise bday party for me
We all used to sneak out of the orphanage and spend the whole night celebrating my bday,
We used to smash cake at eachother's face, click selfies, walk at the beach and finally sneak back into the hostel before our warden wakes up
Tears rolled downs her eyes as a happy smile grazed her lips remembering the good old days
R: you know what sia sometimes i really wish that i could turn back time so that this time i could have avoided meeting kabir, falling in love with him, agreeing to spy for him, coming into vansh's world, falling in love with him and ultimately loosing him.
Am i that bad sia that no one loves me, first my parents left me at the orphanage, then kabir betrayed me along with his mother , this family hates me and tried soo many times to kill me and then vansh thought that i was a betrayer and left me.
A lone tear escaped vihaan's eyes who was standing there listening her pour her heart out.
In riansh room:
Riddhima entered inside their room thinking of ways to stop kabir from creating any new scene at her birthday party,
Suddenly vihaan came infront of her and flashed his dimple smile
Vi: dollar biwi, you remember i said that if i would handle kabir you would name one precious evening of your life for me
Riddhima looked at him disinterested
Vi: i did it
Vihaan shocked her a video of kabir and anupriya tied in a warehouse unconscious
R: have u gone mad vihaan, what would we answer if someone would ask about them
Vi: off ho dollar biwi, relax, no one will ask about them as anupriya herself told dadi that she is taking kabir with her to her old friend's home, and i simply kidnapped them
So now as i have solved your problem, its time for you to fulfill your part of the deal
Saying so vihaan forwarded her a gift box
Vi: wear this outfit and meet me in the garden
Riddhima went inside the washroom cursing her fate
She opened the box to see a beautiful white dress
She have to admit, his choice is quite bold and nice.
Getting changed quickly, she did smokey eye make and curled her hair

Exiting the bathroom, she picked up the knife from the table nearby and hid it behind her dress
There was no way she was going to be alone with that man for whole night without proper safety measures
Riddhima walked out into the garden to see it completely empty
R: vi... vansh
She quickly admonished herself, how could she say  vihaan name out loud, You never know who might be keeping an eye on you
R: vansh
Suddenly someone came from behind and blind folded her
Riddhima quickly tried to take the knife out but that person held her hand and threw the knife away
Vi: very bad dollar biwi
Were you planning on murdering me
R: what is this non sense vihaan, open this blind fold
Vi: patience dollar biwi
Vihaan took riddhima towards the car and made her sit inside,quickly running to the drivers seat he settled down and started the car
All through the journey riddhima heart thudded like never before
Bad thoughts accumulated her mind
What was this man trying to do
What if he tried to harm her or worse tried to force himself on her
The car came to halt all of a sudden
Vihaan opened the door for riddhima and brought her out,
As vihaan removed her blind fold, riddhima was mesmerised to see the view infront of her,
They were at the beach house the whole entrance was decorated with roses

She started walking on the rose petals and entered inside the house,
She gasped to see the house beautifully decorated
At one corner a comfortable lying spot was made just infront of the big television

And at another corner there were placed her favourite chocolates and strawberries

In the middle of the room, a beautiful chocolate cake was present

Vihaan came behind her and said in a husky voice
Vi: surprise
Riddhima looked at him with a beautiful smile
Vihaan took her near the cake and started singing happy bday
Riddhima cut the cake and fed him a piece, vihaan did the same and applied a little cake on her cheek laughing at her pouting face
Taking out his phone vihaan said
Vi: come on dollar biwi, say cheese
Riddhima smiled and both took a selfie together
Vihaan held riddhima hand and took her to the balcony, taking a knife out, vihaan bursted the big ballon present there and all of a sudden the entire sky filled with fireflies
Riddhima looked at the view in aww
It was her dream to see sky full of fireflies, she remembered telling it to vansh once, her eyes suddenly became teary remembering vansh
Noticing the change in her expressions, vihaan turned the speakers on a played a romantic song
Gently kneeling down, he took riddhima's hand in his and stood up, slowly grooving their bodies to the music, vihaan pulled her towards himself and picked her in his arms

Taking her hand in his, he gently traced his face with the back of her hand, closing his eyes feeling her touch

Effected by the intimacy, riddhima walked away and stood at the other end of the balcony, vihaan came behind her and gently back hugged her

As if intoxicated, he turned her around and bent down a little to lock his lips with hers
Riddhima quickly placed her hand over his lips and shivered when she felt him kiss her hand

Vihaan led riddhima inside and made her sit on the mattress,
Switching the tv on, vihaan played her favourite movie and brought popcorn
For the first time since he met her he saw her laughing soo opening and man did she look beautiful
He wished that this smile remained on her lips forever
Feeling tired riddhima laid down on the mattress, vihaan too laid down
Suddenly turning around, vihaan tracked her face with his fingers and riddhima felt her breath hitch,

vihaan slowly leaned forward and was almost on top of her when the loud noise from the tv broke them from their dream world
Vihaan quickly mouthed a sorry and moved away
Watching the movie, riddhima didn't realise when she fell into a deep slumber
Vihaan saw her sleeping pouting like a baby
A small smile graced his lips
Bending down he slowly pecked her forehead and whispered
'HAPPY BDAY SWEETHEART'
