People who fall in love usually get detached from sleep. It's like sleep hates love and abandons your body. That was what happening to Ridhima. She was lying on bed, resting her hand on her chest. It was pacing across her body and she was feeling mixtures of different feeling. Fear, guilt, romance, happiness, insecurity grounding her mind. Vansh gave her a different feeling. But could she manage this relationship? She was blind. He would face problems for her disability. Whenever sleep was capturing her body in its web, Vansh's voice would ring in her mind. It would echo. She would instantly open her eyes and wake up. Was Vansh thinking about her? She knew that people couldn't sleep when they were awake in someone's dream.

And Vansh was actually thinking about her. Such a terrible condition of the poor lovers!

The next morning Ridhima was awakened by her grandma, "Ridhu beta wake up. Get up Vansh has come.Its already ten. "

The name Vansh was more powerful than an alarm clock.  It was already ten in the clock. She was amused. Usually her grandma won't let her sleep after four in the morning and she had to finish the chores till then. She felt scared thinking her grandma would beat her now. But the opposite happened. Her grandma brushed her head and said in a sugar coated voice, "Beta Vansh is here. He wants to take you somewhere. Get ready or shall I help you? "

This behavior of her grandmother gave her a 440 degree shock. For a moment she thought she was dreaming. But prevention was better than cure. She pinched herself hard and hissed. Her grandma anxiously asked her, "What happened? Did you hurt yourself? "

Now Ridhima was already half conscious. She was sure the sun had risen in the West today. That's why her crazy grandma was showering all sugar over her. She said, "But grandma if it's ten then why didn't you wake me up? Now I will be late finishing the works. Tell Vansh it will take me some time. "

"Ohhh beta you don't worry about that. I will do the chores. From now on wards you have only two works. To eat, and sleep. And whenever possible keep strengthening your ties with Vansh. He is such a good boy. He just won my heart. His benevolence changed my wicked mind. I am so sorry for behaving so harshly with you. I love you my angel....... If possible forgive your grandmother. Now you see, my mind was messed after your mother's death. And your dad's ignorance towards the family got my nerves. "

Ridhima was happy hearing it. She was always wishing for it.

"No gran.... I can never get angry on you. I know you had problems. "

"That's so sweet of you my child. Now go and get ready. Remember Vansh is waiting! "

Ridhima blushed and rose up. She thought it was change of heart but this change was controlled by money. Her grandmother smirked evilly as her eyes glimmered with greed. For her, Ridhima was actually the duck which layed golden eggs.

Vansh was sitting in the living room uncomfortably. How could anyone adjust in such a small house? It was like a matchstick box if compared. His bathroom was bigger than this living room. He thought he wouldn't let Ridhima adjust anymore. Now all she would do was enjoy life not sacrifice or adjustments. When he was thinking about it, he heard footsteps. Looking up he noticed Ridhima coming down. Her grandma was beside her helping her. He mentally smiled to see money power. Ridhima was shinning in his eyes.

"Here, take care of her. "

Her grandma said. Now she would teach him about taking care? Irony smiled from the back.

Vansh lovingly took Ridhima to his car.

"Good morning love, " he said and placed a small peck on her lips. Ridhima blushed and smiled. Her smile conveyed him everything.

As the car started, Ridhima said, "Where are we going? In a date? "

Smiling a bit he replied, "Yes...... But date with a doctor of course! "

"Doctor? Why? Has anything happened to you? "

She said frowning. She could hear his chuckle.

"Ridhima.... Remember I promised you will see the world again. You will see me. Before we get married, I want to give back you what I snatched. "

She was confused hearing the last line, "What? What did you snatch from me? "

He quickly diverted the topic, "Your heart. "

She smiled and forgot what was she asking, "But Vansh you still didn't say why going to hospital? "

"For your checkup. I have contacts with the best Eye surgeon who will treat your eyes. Now don't hop like a rabbit and sit calmly. "

Ridhima couldn't believe it was actually happening, "But what if the doctor says it's possible for me to regain my eye sight? "

He looked at her said firmly,"It will happen. Just believe in God. "

Then he realised what he said. He was himself an atheist. But today, when he was in love with someone truly, madly and deeply he was reminiscing God?













When the doctor finished checking up Ridhima, he came out to talk with Vansh in isolation. Vansh noticed his frown and anxiously said, "What do you see doctor? Is there a hope? "

"Not hope but high chances are there she can get back her eyes. But..... "

"But what doctor? "

The doctor kept his glasses on the table and sighed, "There is a ten percent chance she can be susceptible to brain cancer if the operation fails. "

"What? "

Vansh gasped in shock. This was never expected by him.

"Mr.Singhania you have to sign a bond before the operation. We can't take chances from our side."













The entire car ride was silent. Ridhima was told her eyesight would return. She was happy about it but Vansh wasn't. He had to act happily with her.

Was it good for him to nod for the operation?


When he dropped her home, he took out a locket and tied it on her neck.

"What is Vansh? "

"It's a gift from me...... But it has something special about. Make sure you wear it everytime. "

He departed not before kissing her once. Ridhima's innocent mind accepted it as he left. He didn't want to tell her that locket would help him to monetize her activities. It was for her safety he did so. She wouldn't accept it if he had tell her its reality thinking intrusion of privacy.

When Vansh reached home with a heavily tired mind, he was welcomed by someone unexpected. It was Maira, his ex-business partner. Initially she was a hardworking woman but later she turned dishonest and vile that he had to kick her out. Seeing her waiting in his house he couldn't control his anger, "What are you doing in my house? Who allowed you to enter? "

She snaked her arms around his shoulders but he pushed her away. Smirking she said, "Oh sweetheart......... I just came to meet you. Aren't you happy seeing your friend? I heard you are getting married. "

He looked at her with furious eyes, "None of your business. And stop spying on my life. "

She smiled and replied, "Tch tch tch....... Poor girl doesn't know that her future husband actually killed her mother and is responsible for all her suffering. Too bad! "

Vansh felt a minor tremor in his heart. Gripping her neck he hissed, "Don't you dare to do this Maira........ I will kill you. "

Saying he pushed her away. She was coughing due to the strangulation. Looking at him with destructive eyes she said, "Yes.. Do it. Let Ridhima know your real side. It will fun to see your reaction when she calls off the wedding on your face when the police takes you to the jail. "

"Just. Get. Out. of my house Maira or else the consequences won't be good."

She smiled sarcastically and said, "Your time will come Vansh. I will avenge my insult. "
