6. Preparation for the party

Kabir stood outside the massive building,with the letters "VR" in silver white colour at the top. After performing his mother's funeral, he went back to VR mansion, but they denied his entry. He was not able to think straight. He was so filled with anger and hatred that he will attack or better yet kill Vansh at the very first sight of him. He just want to hurt him somehow. He want to snatch his happiness , his peace. Consequences doesn't matter, the fire of revenge can only be put off by blood. As soon as he stepped inside his company , he undergoes various security checks , identity proof, retinal scan, his photograph all are required to enter inside.

He went straight to receptionist. "I am here to meet Mr. Vansh Raisinghania"

"Sir, do you have an appointment for today?", asked the receptionist.

"Yes, here it is," he handed over the appointment letter to her. Falsifying appointment letter was not a tough job for Kabir.

"Okay , wait Sir let me call and check if he is free now," replied receptionist.

"I am sorry Sir, Mr. Raisinghania is not available at the office today, he had to go to an urgent meeting. He hasn't returned yet. If you want I can give you an appointment for tomorrow."

"No need",Kabir banged his palm on the desk and flounced out of the building.

Ishani called Aangre ," lI want to go for shopping. Reem has launched her new collection. When are you coming home?"

"Since when did you like being with me during shopping. Are you missing your husband?" Aangre was amused at Ishani's tone. It almost sounded normal.

"Oh please, don't flatter yourself by believing in shitty love concept that dadi taught you a few days back. I am not allowed to go out without you. Get your ass here now," replied Ishani in her usual sharp tone.

"I am busy right now." Aangre said in a monotonous tone.

"How dare he hung up on me . What does he think of himself?

Bloody .......", after muttering several expletives. Ishani marched towards dadi's room. Dadi was not in her room. She decided to complain about Aangre later. She was extremely annoyed. She called Aangre again. His phone was busy now."Arghhh". Feeling aggravated she threw her phone on the floor.

Vansh paced towards Siya's room and found it locked. He fished out the master key from his pocket and unlocked the door. He saw Riddhima sleeping beside Siya in a white strap top and blue pajamas. Her sight was beguiling. He felt like running his fingers on her smooth arm, to touch her soft cheeks. He immediately came out of his thoughts and brushed off his feelings as lust. He cannot love her. He is incapable of that feeling and has received nothing but disappointment in return. He has always been betrayed , he won't let anybody else do the same.

He plastered a stoic expression and cleared his throat. Riddhima was too tired to wake up by a mere, "Ahem". Vansh moved closer to her side of the bed by stomping his feet on the floor with extra force so that she will wake up after hearing his footsteps. Nothing happened. He opened Siya's closet and closed it hard. Then , suddenly an alarm started ringing on riddhima's phone , indicating that her beautiful nap is over. She rolled on the bed , now on her stomach and tried reaching her phone to shut the alarm but it's volume increased every second. She instantly remembered the chapter she had to finish today . In a flash, Riddhima pushed her body in a sitting position and silenced the alarm. She stood up to splash water on her face , when she finally took notice of another presence in the room. Vansh was watching her activities with fascination. He tried to maintain straight face but couldn't hide the amusement adorning on his face. Riddhima jumped at his sight. She couldn't speak for a minute with a confused expression as if remembering her existence . When she got her senses , she pointed a finger towards him and asked, "What are you doing here? How did you enter? I remember that I locked the door."
