Riansh FF - Meri bewasi ka bayan hai

A notch higher

" Minu ,tu thik to hai na "

I was so so glad to see her alive . Very eager to meet her , I have run as quickly as I could from
VR Mansion .

But I was hesitant , what if she was angry with me ? I was so ignorant ! Obviously who wouldn't ? Due to me only , NIRAJ died - how could any one forgive and forget that ! Nervousness was killing me , what I would say to her ? Should I ask for forgiveness ,or .....oh god what should I do ?

Standing under the tree,I clutched my mobile hard . But strangely as Minu came near,I could feel her expressions mirroring mine . Confused , we didn't even hug each other and sat on the park bench feeling awakard . Both were lost in our own thoughts till I initiated

" tum ,thik ho ?........"

" Haan ,bo mai theek hoon "

She answered ,not looking at me . And I grew concerned , was she troubled by Vansh and his men ? Has she come to me for help ? Not wasting a second I held her hands and brought it to my lap . I so wanted to comfort her and to do anything i could for her .

" Tum mujhe kuch bhi bata sakti ho ,koi bhi problem ho ,kuch bhi taqleef ho . I m always there for you minu........

" Riddhima "

she licked her lips before continuing

" riddhima ,mujhe kuch batana tha......darasal yeh mai tujhe kabse batana chahti thi ,par tujhe aur hurt nahi karana chahti thi mai . But aab time aa gaya hai. Ab yeh sach ka bojh mai aur nahi dhho sakti "

Looking so guilty ,she was sounding so serious . Many reasons were going through my head ,but I could guess nothing .

I furrowed my brows. What was the matter ? Curious and with slight tredipation I blinked my eyes to give a hint her to speak .

Wiping her hands ,she stood up . Her back was facing me,so there was no way I could guess what she was thinking ?

" Riddhima , mai aur niraj paison ke liye teri help kar rahe the...........

Did I hear right ? Paison ke liye .......!

Getting up ,I placed my hand on her shoulder to make her face me only to see her fidgeting with her dupatta .

" Kya matlab paison ke liye ........? "

I asked getting angry myself .

Taking a deep breath she started speaking , shocking me even more .

" niraj accha insan nahi tha . Wo kisi ke liye kaam karta tha. human trafficking ,child abuse aur murder ke bohut sare charges the uspar. Wo....wo to kuch din pehle hi mila tha mujhe . Jab usne mujhe bohut sare paise offer kiye to mai iss plan mai........

Not even completed ,her words hung in the air as I slapped her hard ..............I couldn't believe ,how ?? how ? Seething in rage ,the angry tears made their way on my cheeks . Again I was used ! Like a naive fool I thought , they were helping me and here they were all the while using me !

" Riddhima ,I m so..."

" Enough ,just get out ......out.........."

I roared and she scurried over leaving me alone . To compose myself ,I sat on the bench trembling all over . So minu and Niraj were the one kidnapping me ,but on whose instructions ? Who was the mastermind behind it ? In all this , realisation dawned upon me that ,Vansh rescued me ! If not for him,god knows what would have happened to me ? Guilt washed over me , thinking how bad I behaved ,while he was so patient with me .
