Riddhima "s Pov

I know what he did was weird and obnoxious!

I didn't like a bit of it . How can someone cross the lines of dignity and shame ? But at the same time, I was in a dilemma. What he did actually helped me . How am I supposed to blame him or yell at him when clearly his intentions were to help me? What he told me was right . He could have easily taken my advantage at any point of time , but he didn't. His words rung over my senses . Now when I look up ,water doesn't seem that intimidating. At Least his push had made me a tiny bit brave to fight with my fear . I am not hesitating to try .

"Still thinking of what happened just an hour ago?"

I looked up and saw, Mr Raisinghania placing dinner plates on the table . Ramya took a day off today. So it was Vansh who cooked the dinner.

Whenever he comes here, he indulges in cooking. Riddhima was the first woman other than his mother to taste the food made by him.

Riddhima 's Pov

"Alfredo pasta and Chicken Farcha for the Panda who had learnt swimming today!"

said he giving a cocky smile

"You know cooking ? "I was surprised.

"You have no idea, baby girl! I know better things Princepassa! "

He said as he started serving me.

" Italian with Parsi!" .... I giggled.

"Dont you think it is a weird combination?"

"Exactly like us "? He questioned me with a mischievous smile .

No point of argument Riddhu! I told myself, and started eating .

Author "s Pov

The taste of white sauce of the Pasta and the tangy spices like garlic ,red chillies started setting down into Riddhima"s mouth .

Vansh was right . Riddhima was soft , pure and creamy like Alfredo pasta ...plain and simple but elegant
But Vansh ..

He was devilishly handsome , passionate , sharp reflecting the crisp of the chicken and boisterous like the spices . No similarity can be drawn between the two dishes even they are not served together. But when Riddhima started eating it ,she gradually started falling in love with the cuisine.

This was also a classic case of Opposite attracts each other ..

"I will be leaving by noon tomorrow. I have a land deal to crack . You stay here . I will ask Ramya to stay till the evening to assist you .

"I have some office work . You can go and sleep in my bedroom . "

He told Riddhima , when they finished their dinner.

Riddhima stood up and gathered the dishes to dump it in the sink basin .

"Where will you sleep then?" She asked   innocently.

"Where do you want me Baby doll?" he asked...

His voice was hoarse with something deep and intimate.

Riddhima, at once looked up and saw him standing almost near her shoulder.

"I can happily sleep over you Bunny girl ! Or maybe you ..
under me ?. He arched his brow flagrantly, perversion oozing out from his eyes.

"What ?? "

Her eyes widened in shock and embarrassment.

How can a person be so shameless? Riddhima wondered.

"I..I.. didn't mean that way ....
I was just offering. .."

Riddhima couldn't utter more awkwardness.

"Don't provide such offers which can turn bad deals for you ...Bunny babes!

I thought you know how my reputation is ! Don't you ..?"

He smirked, caressing her exposed shoulder.

Riddhima closed her eyes .

Why on earth is it so difficult to make simple conversation with her?

" Ah don't get flushed Pumpkin! I am just joking"

Vansh laughed sonorously .
Sighing deeply, Riddhima opened her eyes, and turned to him .

" I trust you Mr Raisinghania!! ". She told this same line before, when Chetan tried to steal the cash.

Vansh did not pay heed to her much that day. But the moment she uttered those words, today, the mischievous glint and the playful smile disappeared from his lips . Riddhima shuddered looking at him . Three of the buttons of his shirt were undone . Hair was messy .

"How on earth did someone look so tempting?" she thought mentally

"You what ? "he asked in a prowling tone .

"You trust me "? He repeated the words .

The very next moment .. Riddhima was pinned to the nearby wall .

"Do not say this again !" He groaned .

" B ..but I do ..do... trust you Mr Raisinghania "

... Riddhima admitted the fact .

"But I don't .. Babydoll !! I don't ...

I don't trust my dick! I don't trust the menace I am...!

"You don't know a jackshit about me... It's not even a month since we have met... and you...little bunny rabbit... you said ''You trust me??"

Riddhima gasped in fear, looking at the maddening glint in his eyes. She never knew looks can be this sinister and captivating....

Vansh cupped her jaws , in one hand while the other rested on her waist.

He continued....

"Women ..and Bed .....

Are really ...really really ...."

His hot breath fanned near her collarbone.

"Are bad combinations for me ...!! Get that straight in your pea sized brain Woman! "he growled!

Riddhima shut her eyes...as his woody natural scent and the menthol body wash he used... was numbing her senses.

"Am I clear plum pie ?? "He growled again.

" Am I clear?" He asked again...

"Y...yes..yes! Mr Raisinghania"!... She finally could reply.

"Good girl"! He released her waist, and dashed out from her vicinity.

Riddhima "s Pov

His eyes had something...that I couldn't comprehend.really .But whenever he came to my proximity... I feel a sticky liquid coming down from my panties. My cheeks flushed pink and I realised... That I need to change it , otherwise it will drench like a damn wet cloth that only could be licked and sucked .

I recalled how my first orgasm hit me earlier just by wet dreaming him! I slapped Kabir when he tried to kiss me forcefully... But at the same time my core is aroused whenever Vansh passes lewd remarks. This is unethical. But this is true. I can lie to others. But how am I supposed to lie to myself?

Had it been any other person I would have slapped and run away from him, if he would have unstressed my clothes in a pool like VR did a while ago! But instead of thrashing him, I enjoyed dinner with him. Whenever he comes physically close to me,no matter how wrong its interpretation is I don't feel it is unpardonable... Sin seems desirable with this man. I am confused...I am flushed..I know it is wrong... But what to do...even if it is wrong...It is how it is not supposed to be.

"That will be the patio... And on the left Mr Raisinghania will be the Radiology department. On the upper storey , The entire left wing would be designed for those who cannot treat Cancer due to lack of money. Rest I will mail you in detail.

Mr Chandella was explaining to me the tits and bits of the structure of the Hospital quite enthusiastically.But none of his words touched the chord of ears. My eyes were blurry with those whilward emotions. The mist of tears, and burnt remnant of my heart was being resurfaced around my vicinity.

Flashback

" She is coughing vehemently. Blood is oozing out from the every whisk of her cough. Her throat was parched. Her face was pale. Her eyelids become heavy due to immense exhaustion.

Vansh!..Vansh...! She is calling me.

I ran to her. I try to make him drink water. But she refused.

" Paani se ab mera kuch nhi hoga! "(Water will be of no use to me)

"Mein Doctor ko bulake lata hoon (I shall call the doctor ).

" Papa ko bula de zara...( Call your Papa dear!) Mere pas zyada waqt nhi hai Vansh ( I don't have much time left ).

" Woh aadmi nahi aayega Ma!( That man will not come Ma!!

I gritted my teeth in indignation.

Why does she always ask for that Bastard! when she knows...that that leech creature will never bother

"Mere pas zyada waqt nahi hai Vansh! Beta! ekbar call karke dekh!

(I don't have much time... Pls try to contact him at least once ).

She pleaded.

My mom pleaded with me to contact my father for one last time.
But I know What he was doing...

Hoeing and toying around that Bitch!

Maa was sweating profusely, even if the A.c. was 16 degrees. All her vitals were reducing, her breath was waning.

I hold her hands tightly. The nurse was trying to put an oxygen mask on her, but she stopped her.

Mera baccha! Mera Raja beta! ( My baby! My Sweetheart!) Tears rolled down her cheeks. She kissed my hair and then hugged me for some time. The hug soothed both of us.

Ma tumhe kuch nhi hoga... tum thik ho jaogi! (Nothing will happen to you..You will be fine!)

She smiled and sighed

Shukar hai zindagi ke akhri pal mein tu mere sath hai! ( Thank god at least you are with me! in the wee hours of my life!)

Meri hi galti hai baccha! Mein teri papa ko woh pyar nhi de payi ( It's my fault...I couldn't provide the love he deserves).

This was the only regret she had.

Love! I laughed at my mother's naivety...even in this gruesome situation!

She is still lamenting over that worthless fellow.

My heart was not ready to accept it, but my senses warned me that My mother would leave me. She, in any moment, would leave this sinful , cruel world for good within some moments. And still this fool woman is telling me that one day True love will knock my door?. Who wants Love anyway?.I am done with those toxic and senseless emotions.

Damn you love!

Fuck you love!

I yelled mentally.

This world only bows down in front of power and money. Women like my mother don't deserve such a vicious dirty place to live. I wish she would have not been born ....

"Vansh! Mere paas aa!.. ( Vansh come to me Dear !) She stretched her veiny, weak arms to me..I wiped my tears and ran to her.

"Maa"! I placed my head on her chest...

"Tere papa aj vi nhi aa paye Vansh...! She lamented ( Your father couldn't

make it even today )!

Meri aakhri palon mein mein unko ek bar jee bhar ke dekhne ka tamanna dil mein hi reh gaya...She sighed deeply.

( My last wish probably will remain unfulfilled.I couldn't meet him)

Then..she was gone!

My mother Uma Raisinghania was gone forever leaving me alone....craving for the love my father could never bestow her.

Stupid love! Irrational emotion is love!

The lady whom I loved the most blessed me that one day I will surely get the true love I deserve. But if it's so easy...then what was her fault?

"Why didn't she get it? "

Mr Raisinghania??.

My reverie broke. I wiped the tears accumulated in the corner of my eyes.

The world who had been so cruel to my mother, has no right to watch the tears I shed in my mother's bereavement.

Register the name of this land to the Court as

Uma Cancer Foundations!

Today I have fulfilled the second half of my first oath Ma..! And I promise you...I will keep the rest three intact too.
Riddhima "s pov

It was almost 12-20, at night...Why didn't he return yet. Ramya served me dinner,and left for the servant's quarter. Even she had no clue where Mr Raisinghania was!

I am not supposed to worry about him. Is he even have a relationship with me? Do I have any rights over him?

But still I was feeling low, I haven't seen him since morning. We usually take at least one meal together. He might be a very unpredictable person but he is an excellent boss. I have learnt many things from him. Working is actually fun with him. I have,never in my life...got so much importance except Sejal..

I don't know what is it...?

Affection?

Dependance?

Importance?

These are all he provides me...

And each and every emotion in my life is new..

I never thought that I would receive such special gestures from a man.!

My chain of thoughts broke, when the door opened ajar jolting my senses.

Yaha tune ek chota sa pauda lagaya tha...

Is angan mein tera ek jhula hua karta tha...

Teri hath ki senki roti aur achar ka zayka tha

Is bade si duniya se dur tune yaha hamara ek ghar banaya tha....

(You once had planted a tree here Mumma!

You once used to play with me in the swing!

I still can feel the taste of the warm home made food

You made a small world of us that was quite unique from this Vast universe!

Riddhima 's eyes widened in shock. Seeing him like this was the last thing he was expecting. Her throat got dried. Instead of helping him, she ran towards the cupboard. If necessary she would hide her body there.

Vansh was chanting something like a rhyme in a slurred voice. The buttons of his shirts were broken...his hair was messy. He was holding a bottle of whiskey... The half of the bottle was empty. Riddhima shivers when he looks up to her. His eyes were red due to over consumption of alcohol! He smiled at her!

"Scared of Daddy!" he said... he stretched his hands....

" Come here " ''Come to daddy "!

"I will erase every ounce of your fear.!"

Riddhima knew... what he was blabbering was senseless! He is not even an ounce of his sanity...will do such a thing...

It was difficult to stand properly from him. He staggered and approached near her... towards the cupboard

"Ab na us duniya mein tu hai ma na is mein!

Tera pyar vi ek dhund hi tha ma tera pyar vi ek chaalawa tha...

(Now you also did not live with me in this world nor do you exist in the other. Now I have realized that even your love too was cheating me!!)

sab moh aur maya hai

Pyar ek chalawa hai

Everything is illusive and a farce!

He yelled!

The bottle dropped from his hand and created a tingy metallic sound... His head was about to collide with the corner of the cupboard. But he hold it otherwise.

Riddhima shuddered in a cold deadly fear!

This is not a man...whom she had known or seen before! The warm, jovial , smart and calculative man was gone...He was a man who was stinking in alcohol!

Flashes of her drunkard father... the abuses he used to hurl on them,immediately resurfaced....

She cowered more in the corner.

Will he beat me?

Will he choke my throat?

Will he rape me?

No! No! No! He cannot do such things.

Riddhima couldn't believe her own thoughts.

But what if he will do so?

A drunkard can do anything.

She tried to find a rod or any object for her own safety.. If he ever tries to do such a thing...she will break his head. Even if he had done many good things to her in the past... She will not spare him if he tries to disrupt her dignity...

was shaking in fear. She never felt so alone.He had always secured him. But today, he was the one, whom she was feeling insecure about. As she kept looking on....Vansh staggered near the bed. He was so drunk that even the mattress looked blurry to him.

To her utmost relief. Vansh did nothing... He didn't bother to look at her again... His lean towering body fell like an uprooted tree... on the bed with a bang...

His legs sprawled over the bed sheet and his head was half tilted.

Chithi Na Koi Sandesh
Hoo, Chithi Na Koi Sandesh
Jaane Woh Kaun Sa Desh
Jahan Tum Chale Gaye
Chithi Na Koi Sandesh
Jaane Woh Kaun Sa Desh
Jahan Tum Chale Gaye

Riddhima could hear the soft tunes.

She sat near the cupboard for a while, and then tiptoed to him.

Thank god!! He is sleeping.

Riddhima tip-toed towards him. Her eyes fell on her left hand. Blood was oozing out from his hand.

Riddhima "s Pov

Doesn't he feel pain?

Or maybe his heart ache....is so grave that he doesn't feel anything.

I knelt down to his level, and placed his head on the pillow. I took out the first aid box.

"Fuck you Raw Malishka!He blabbered in his sleep

Now who is this Malishka?

Only you can handle the beast Malishka...

He murmured again in sleep.

I cleaned his wound and put on the antiseptic lotion. Tying up his wound with bandages properly, I tried to get up. But his hand caught hold my hands tightly.

My heart thudded.

What if he wakes up!

I tried to wriggle out my hands. But his grip was tight and firm.

He was in deep intense sleep

I sighed and sat near the bed. He is not going to let me go.

Soon sleep engulfed my eyes.

Precap - Vansh is shocked to see Riddhima sleeping on the floor. Vansh 'S question left Riddhima bewildered. Vansh realized Riddhima "s predicament. Vansh took a decision. Siya and Riddhima share an intimate conversation.
