Vansh was sitting in his room, it has been one week since anupriya kabir and ragini truth came out, and 6 months since he had divorced riddhima.
What he didn't understand was why has his heart pained when he threw divorce papers at her, why he missed her presence in his house and his room since the day she left. He had not allowed ragini to even enter his room, whenever she tried to come close to him he would make up one excuse or other. She kept pestering him for marriage but he didn't had the heart to give her riddhima's place. Which made her clearly frustrated but he didn't care. Why? It was not same with riddhima, her frustration, anger, pain mattered to him, for heaven sake he was faking love to her, its not that he had really fallen for her. It was a trap for her, so that she knows what are the consequences of messing with VR. But now he knew why he was feeling all this, it was because she was innocent.She was right all along. She never harmed anyone rather herself got harmed alot of time.
Vansh stood up determined to ask her forgiveness. Yes he was THE VANSH RAI SINGHANIA who never apologises to anyone, but that was because he had never wronged anyone, but this time he was at fault, and he was determined to seek forgiveness.
What surprised him was that fact that how come the vansh rai singhania who had the ability to read people's mind by barely looking at there body language fail soo miserably in recognising his mother's and ragini true face? How could he see riddhima's innocence, he was never this blind.
Walking out he directed angre to get the car ready.
Standing infront of her orphanage, vansh felt nervous, wow, this was a first, VR and nervous, naah not possible, but indeed he was. What will be her reaction seeing me,
Will she get angry?
Will she shout at me?
Will she slam the door at my face?
Well, i'll know it soon enough.
As soon as the warden saw him, she stood up respectfully, perks of being VR
W: good morning sir, please have a seat.
V: i want riddhima rai i mean riddhima's room number.
W: sure, she lives in room number 10 with her friend sejal.
V: thank u
standing infront of the door, vansh heart hammered,
Come on vansh, gear your self up,
Knocking the door, he heard the sweetest voice, which he was deprived off for the last 6 months.
'Come in'
Walking inside, a single glance at riddhima and he was shocked beyond his wits, what was she wearing,
There infront of him was his riddhima, lying on the bed on her stomach wearing a short dress which barely reached her knees, her legs swinging in the air, engrossed in ready a book. Oh god, she never wore such short dresses in VR mansion.

He was brought out of his thoughts by hearing her voice,
'You?'
V: Hi, can i come in.
R: yaa, come in
V: thanks.
Riddhima directed him to sit on the bed infront of her whicj probably belonged to sejal.
R: what brings you here?
V: I ahm, I
R: I ke aage kuch bolein ge ap Mr Rai singhania.
V: actually, i came here to apologise. I got to know kabir anupriya and ragini truth and i was genuinely guilty for what i did and what you had to
Riddhima didn't let him finish and said,
R: its okay.
V: WHAT?
R: i said its okay.
V: just like that? Soo easily?
R: yaa
V: why? I mean
R: its all the past. Or mujhe past se koi lena dena nhi hai, mere liye mera present matter karta hai, or trust me mera present bhot khubsurat hai.
Before vansh could say anything, the door slamed open and sejal excitedly came inside but seeing vansh her expressions changed into anger, she was ready to pounce on him when riddhima held her hand and said,
R: sejal, calm down
S: what the hell is this man doing here?
R: he came here to apologise
S: apologise, really, kis kis cheez ke liye exactly yeh maafi mange ga? Kyunke list toh bhot bari hai.
R: tu woh sab chor na, itni excitedly aue the bata na kya hua?
S: tere liye ek surprise hai
R: kya?
S: woh tujhe thori dair mein pata chal jae ga, tu mujhe yeh bata ke tu abhi tak tyar kyun nhi hue, already 6 baj gue hain, hame 7 baje jana hai, jaa jalfi se ready ho jaa na.
R: ek kaam kar phele tu change kar le phr mein kar loon ge.
S: fine.
As sejal went inside the washroom, riddhima asked vansh,
R: would you like to have something? Coffee?
V: sure
Riddhima picked up her phone and called the kitchen staff,
R: hello, mrs smith, mere room mein plzz ek coffee bhejwa dijiye, extra strong no sugar. Thank u
She still remembered his choice, no one else did, he remembered once he asked ragini to make coffee for him but she added soo much sugar in it that he had to spit it out.
Not liking the silence vansh said,
V: soo, how is your life going?
R: life is going great. Its good to be where you belong.
Sejal came out and literally pushed riddhima inside the washroom, meanwhile the staff brought coffee for vansh,
Sejal gave him a forced smile and said,
S: dont worry, iss mein zeher nhi hai, wese agr ho ga bhi toh tum par uss ka asar nhi hoga, tum mein toh phele he bhot zeher bhara hua hai.
Well if someone else had said this to him they would have been dead by now, but she has the right to be angry on him and taunt him after all he had hurted her best friend soo much. Honestly he felt a little jealous from riddhima, she had a best friend who was there by her side , ready to smash any jerks face who dared to harm her, he never had someone like this in his life, well he got riddhima who was ready to do anything for him but he himself had thrown her out of his life.
Getting a call sejal walked out when vansh heard riddhima voice,
R: seju, this damn zip wont go up yaar.
Zip, that reminded him of sunny and ishani engagement party, when he had bend down to fix her zip, well the zip was absolutely fine, but her little hands were not able to tug it up, how could he leave such a chance, deliberately taking the zip in his mouth, he fanned his breath on her bare back and her breath hitched, truth be told, he felt his heart beat rising too, a sudden urge to kiss her back arose in him but his better judgment prevailed. Yes he had to fake love with her but not attack her dignity, he was not a monster who would attack on a girl's dignity for his revenge.
He was pulled of his thoughts by her voice,
R: sejuuu
V: she is not here, she went to attend a call.
I ahm i can help.
R: no thanks, i will manage.
What felt like ten minutes she walked out of the restroom, vansh felt his breath hitch, what the hell man, was she trying to kill him by her looks?

The ridiculous length of her skirt made him gulp, her hair tied in a tight bun, no, he liked her hair open, but what made her even more beautiful was a beautiful smile that was playing on her slips.
Someone whistled,
Vansh felt rage overcome him, who dared to whistle at his sweetheart, ahh she is not my sweetheart.
Vansh looked at the door to see , it was sejal.
Seriously vansh you got jealous of a girl because she whistled at riddhima.
Sejal held riddhima hand and made her sit infront of him. Opening her hair, sejal connected the hair straightner to the socket and started straightening her hair.
R: your coffee is getting cold.
S; may be he likes it cold, just like his heart, black and cold.
Vansh passed a tight smile at them and finished his coffee. Continuously reminding himself to not to look at her bare legs and arms.
Vansh again felt jealous seeing sejal running her fingers thorough her hair, there was a time when he used to do it, and no one else has the right to do it.
What the hell is wrong with you vansh? You have surely gone mad.
Vansh thought to compliment her but before he could say anything, there was a loud voice,
'SURPRISE'
There at the door stood a man , tall and handsome, smiling , seeing him riddhima quickly ran towards him and engulfed him into a tight hug, he in turn picked her up by her wrist and twirled her around.
How dare he? Vansh clenched his fist to the extent that his knuckles turned white. Who the hell is he?

R: Asad, omg , iam soo happy to see you. Wait a minute so this was the surprise sejal was talking about. Iam very angry from you. You are coming back after 3 months and didn't even bother to inform me.
A: relax baby relax, i wanted to surprise you thats why I didn't inform you. Aren't you happy seeing me?
R: iam soo happy, said riddhima and gently kissed his cheek.
What the heck man, she never kissed my cheeks, so why was she kissing this hulk.
S: mr asad ahmed khan, ap mujhe bhool gue haan?
A: aare, apni choti se bhena ko kese bhool skta hoon mein.
Sejal went near him and the trio shared a hug.
Vansh suddenly felt left out there, realising it was best to leave he came near riddhima and said,
V: i think i should leave now.
Riddhima didn't gave him much attention, she simply said bye and dragged asad inside laughing happily.
Vansh felt hurt, he silently went out of the room.
But then stood by the door to listen their conversation, he didn't know why but he didn't felt like leaving her alone with that guy. Who was he anyway? Her boyfriend? His heart pained at the thought. Even if he is her boyfriend, he should not be bothered, she has all the right to move on and its not that he was in love with her.
A: that was your ex husband right
Vansh frowned hearing ex husband
R: yes
A: what the hell was he doing here? Is he bothering you. Sejal why didn't you tell me about his visit.
R: relax asad, he came today only, he wanted to ask for forgiveness
A: and
R: i forgave him
A: why, he did soo much with you and you simply forgave him? Do u still love him.
Vansh heart thudded at the question, did she still love him, despite what he did with her, he was no eager to know her answer but was disappointed when she ignored this question.
R: i forgave him because I didn't want him to come here again. I know him , he would have kept coming here , trying to persuade me to forgive him and I didn't want that. Thats why i have closed that chapter of my life by forgiving him. I dont want my past to come in my present.
S: acha leave all this na, come on we are getting late we have to go. Blue star pub here we come. Woohooo
Vansh sat in his car, as angre started driving vansh asked him to direct the car towards blue star pub, angre gave him a quizzical look but nevertheless did what he said.
That whole night vansh kept glancing at riddhima from far, watching her laugh, crack jokes, talk, dance but what bothered him was that guys presence.
A new feeling was arising in his heart and he didn't know how to stop it.
He tried to convince himself that he was watching over her just for her safety as she is naive and that guy could be dangerous but angre knew better, he knew while doing the fake love drama with riddhima, vansh rai singhania had actually fallen in love with her. Well such is her charm and innocence, it can make any man go on his knees even VR.
Seeing riddhima dance closely with that guy, his hands on her waist, her around his shoulder, their faces mere inches apart, something snapped inside vansh,
V: Angre, i want all the information of asad ahmed khan by morning, i not the consequences would not be good.
Angre went out of the pub to get the work done, while vansh involuntarily moved towards riddhima who was now standing alone near the bar as asad went to receive a call and sejal was busy dancing on the dance floor. It was went her fragrance hit his nostrils that he realised that he was standing just behind her,
V: what a surprise, what are you doing here?
Riddhima startled hearing his voice and turned around
V: I didn't knew you liked pubs and all
R: are you following me?
V: no, he lied straight through his teeth
Well when iam here, do u mind if i steal you for a dance.
R: no
V: come on, for old times sake.
R: fine
Slowly taking her to the dance floor, he placed his hands on her waist while her went onto his shoulder, now this was perfect, she looked perfect with me only, not some asad wasad, whatever his name was.
Slowly moving their bodies to the music, vansh felt his heart beats rising, his was sure his pupils have dilated, a beautiful smile adorned his face but he saw no sign on her face, the face was blank just like it used to be during their initial days, does she not
Love me anymore? Has she really moved on?
IS IT TOO LATE?
Riddhima gently excused herself and left while he kept standing there eying her retreating figure.
Whole night he couldn't sleep, thousands of questions running in his mind
Why was he affected near her?
Why did he get jealous seeing riddhima with that guy?
What are these new feeling that are arising in his heart?
Knock on the door made him realise that it was morning,
Angre was standing there with a file,
He handed it to vansh and said,
Asad ahmed khan, a businessman, he owns a construction company called dilshad constructions , named after his mother, she died when he was four and he was given to the orphanage, the same orphanage riddhima lives in. The first time they met was when riddhima was 2 and he was 5 years old, since then they had been inseparable , they were in the same collage and the whole collage thought that they were a couple but they used to state that they are best friends. He considers sejal as his sister.for businesses studies he got a scholar ship in london collage and he had to go there. He started his company there only. He used to visit riddhima  and sejal frequently.
His reputation is quite good, he is a very respectable man.
V: relationship status?
An: single
Seeing his boss glaring the guy pic that was present in the file, angre chuckled, if looks could kill this asad ahmed khan would have been dead by now.
Well although his boss was a mastermind but when it comes to love then his common senses seems to stop working, but no worries, iam here to make my boss realise that these feelings that he is experiencing are LOVE.
So mission
VANSH RAI SINGHANIA REALISE YOUR LOVE BEGINS.
