Devil's Damsel

🥀Victim of his loathe🥀

Ridhima looked out for the things in the cupboard. Suddenly something felt on the floor. She saw a photo album. Vansh was out for work. She could see it without any interruption. She took it and sat on the bed. When she opened it,she found her childhood photos. She was wearing her school dress,beside her was standing Vansh and beside him Kabir.

Kabir was always very caring and loving. Vansh was always that impulsive and bipolar type. But that time everything was different. She still had remembered everything. How she felt in love with Kabir but got married with Vansh.

*Flashback*

Little Ridhima is running after the butterfly. She says to eight years old Kabir,"Kabir, please bring that butterfly for me. You are taller. You can catch it."

Kabir just sits and watches the sky. Then he says in a lazy tone,"Oh what will you do with that insect?It's of no use."

Ridhima is helpless. Just then Vansh arrives. He is holding a jar in his hand,"Look Ridhima this is for you."
She looks at the jar,"O my god!Such a beautiful butterfly!"
Indeed the butterfly inside the jar is beautiful.

"You brought it for me Vansh?"
"Yes,you wanted and I brought that for you,"he says. She happily hugs him,"Thank you vinu."
"Anything for you Riddu,"he says.

The next day they go to school. It is sports day. Ridhima is always fragile and weak so she cannot participate. And for that reason,a boy named Suraj always teases her.

"So petty bone,you are not participating? Even though it's useless. You will not secure even the bronze medal."

He laughs out. Ridhima is hurt and tears run down from her eyes. Suddenly a loud bang and thud and Suraj is on the soil.

Everyone looks to see Vansh standing with a fisted hand,"If I see you the next time bullying Ridhima,then I will make sure you can't walk properly."

Then he rubs her tears and says,"Don't worry Riddu. I will run for you. And I will secure the first position."

She gives a smile nodding her tiny head.

Then they slowly grow up into teenagers. Ridhima,Kabir and Vansh sitting together near the river.

"You know guys,I want to live a life like a princess. I want to get a prince who will give me everything. A big house,a big swimming pool,cars and servants. "

Kabir laughs,"Stupid dreams. You always say stupid things. No boy can give you a life like this."

"Who said that?I will do that for Ridhima. I will give you whatever you want Riddu. "

Vansh says as Kabir rolls his eyes.

"Ogh thanks Vinu,"she says.

*End of flashback*
Ridhima sighed and rubbed the tears from her eyes. That time she found it cute,but she never thought he would do it for real. Now she had everything. House,car, building and what she wished for. But she never wanted to live it like a prisoner.

Suddenly someone snatched the album from her hand. She looked upto see Vansh standing with death glares. He looked at the photo and his face intensified. Ridhima at the moment thought someone just killed her better than Vansh torturing her.

"So.......Was being nostalgic seeing your Ex? Tch tch tch... How could I forget he fucked you better than me and left you to die? You did multiple abortions and still I married you because I love you and you...But such an ungrateful bitch you are that still you think about him. What is there that I am not providing you Ridhima? "

Saying he grabbed her hair and slammed her on the bed. Ridhima cried in pain and fear, "Vansh you are wrong the album was there in your shelf... "

"My shelf? Okay... Then I am destroying it. "

He took out a lighter and burnt it down. The album started turning into ashes before Ridhima's eyes when she looked into his eyes through the fire.

"Mind it Ridhima..... Anything that makes me remember Kabir.... And I won't leave you. You are living on my expenses, if I never accepted you would have died by now. "

Saying he left. Ridhima didn't understand what was her fault that she had to bear so much pain?
