Riansh FF: BROKEN

Chapter 5

A person's life doesn't always require a special or dramatic event for it to suddenly change.

Sometimes, very small and trivial things shake our lives with a force that is stronger than we expect.

It's been two weeks since Riddhima's return.

Ridhima (Mind): Not much has changed no new happenings. Surprisingly even Ishani has left me alone since our last encounter but does not leave any opportunity to put a snide remark and taunts here and there, but most of the time she leaves me alone. I on the other hand plain ignore her and don't bother with her childish behavior I have other important things to focus on instead of that brat, but once in a while, I do end up giving her my sweet words of adoration (note the sarcasm) when she crosses a line.

Even Vansh has mellowed down as in trying to less talk, more watching to my irritation. I know he is doubting me; trying to understand hence observing me to be precise. Him being a sharp and intuitive man I know has sensed that something is different with me but is not able to understand it. Well good because I am not going to let you read me as easily as you used to. From here on you see and hear what I want you to. You will know what I will let you too. Rest you all can keep searching but I am not in the mood to let your searches and questions have answers just yet.

Sia has started with her new treatment and things are looking somewhat hopeful. Though among all these the most unexpected was Aryan and Chachi's silence those two people till little more than a couple of months ago were hell-bent on shipping me off from the face of mother earth are now silent too silent in fact for my liking.

Lost in her thoughts Riddhima walked in the corridors of VR Mansion and stopped in front of Chanchal Chachi's room hearing voices.

Kabir: "Pick up the phone Riddhima. Pick up the phone. Damn it. "

shouted the very much frustrated Kabir.

Kabir: "Two weeks it's been two weeks since she has returned and hasn't bothered to give me a single call or message. Now she isn't even picking up my calls. First, she goes away to some for god's sake medical camp without informing me or anyone else. Now, this.... what are you playing at Riddhima? Do not play with me you will regret it."

Said Kabir looking at Riddhima's picture pinned on the board.

Kabir: "The last try ok do pick it this time."

Said Kabir looking at Riddhima's picture once again.

Picking up his cell he dialed Riddhima's number once again and this time she does pick up. Wanting to blast at her yet controlling himself Kabir says

"Hello. Hello, Riddhima thank god you picked up the phone I was so worried about you. Are you ok?" asked Kabir with fake concern not willing to let go of his pawn in his hands. "You know I had a terrible dream that you are in danger. Someone trying to threaten you someone killed you."

Continued Kabir, on the other hand, Riddhima who had, a bored look till now while listening to him looked up asking for patience from the dear lord and questioned her sanity wondering what she even saw in him in the first place after hearing his last two lines.

Ridhima: "Kabir I am fine. Was there anything important for which you called?"

slightly surprised at her outright dismissal of him but then put it as a side effect of her love fever of Vansh that she has been suffering from the past few months he continued.
