Dark Love

Dark Love: Unravelling The Past

(VR Mansion is decorated with lights and flowers. Servants are running with baskets of flowers and decoration items in their hand. Dadi is sitting on a chair and instructing the servants and the decorators, while Sia and Chanchal are making garlands of Marigold. A sweet aroma is coming from the kitchen area. Riddhima is cooking Meethi Bhaat as the Bhog for the puja, as instructed by Dadi. Yes, today is the day, the 30th of April ,the date which was fixed for the puja and also the date which brought storms in the lives of the Raisinghanias.

 Sia entered the kitchen as the sweet aroma of the Meethi Bhaat hit her nostrils and she couldn't control herself) .

S: Bhabhi, What are you cooking? The smell is so good that I couldn't resist myself to come here.

R(smiling): Ummm.... make a guess. It's your favorite.

S(excited): Kheer Puri??

R: No... It's Meethi Bhaat

S(teasingly): Offo!! Bhabhi, tell na that you are making it for Bhai. Why are you putting it on me? We all know that Meethi Bhaat is who's fav dish OK. No need to full me, huh ( showing fake anger).

R(blushing): Arey!! It's not like that it's the Bhog for today's puja and Dadi has asked me to cook this.

S(realizing, slapping her forehead with her hand): Bhabhi! I forgot to tell you Bhai was asking for you. He said that you were supposed to take out his outfit for today's puja and it seems that you forgot so he is roaming only in his towel since last half an hour. He asked me to inform you but I forgot. My poor brother must be still in his towel waiting for his beautiful wife to come and give him his clothes.

R(horrified): What? and you are telling this to me now. How can I forget this? Poor him.... I must go. Sia, will you please switch off the burner when the Bhog will be ready?

S(trying to hold her laughter): Ya, sure Bhabhi, I will.... You go and check Bhai.

(Riddhima moved out of the kitchen hurriedly and ran towards her bedroom).

(Riddhima entered into her bedroom and saw a tall ,masculine figure standing in front of her, just in a white towel, water dripping from his hair, was checking some files. Riddhima was gawking at him and started smiling dreamily when Vansh spoke in his husky voice, breaking her trance).

V(looking into his files): Checking me out Sweetheart?

R(surprised): N..no not at all.

V(smirking): Then whom are you dreaming about, that too during the daytime. 

R(smiling): There is someone special whom I dream about not only in the daytime but the whole day. He is the world's most handsome man.

V: And may I have the privilege to know who this man is ?

R: Sure sure.

(Riddhima turned Vansh towards the mirror of their dressing table and pointed her fingers towards his reflection in the mirror).

V(smiling): I am OK with this. You have the right to only dream about VR and the man standing there (pointing towards his reflection) and no one else. Similarly, nobody else has the right to dream about my sweetheart except me.

R: Don't know about others ,but, if you dream about somebody else rather than me then I will show you who I am.

V: Ok you can show me later on who you are but for now will you please give me something to wear otherwise I will go for the puja like this only and you can't blame me if the ladies who came for the puja starts gawking at your husband.
