Riansh FF: BROKEN

Chapter 7

The first step is always the hardest but,

once you take your first step, things will get easier from then on

Things were never easy in life for Ridhima. She struggled so much to be what she is today. Every moment was hard for her. However, she cried, laughed, fell, rise and underwent pain - every moment made her what she is today. She is happy that she endured so much because that's what shaped her into the person she is today.

Riddhima stood in the room allotted for Ragini to side and watched the whole drama. She can say none were happy to see Ragini back. She is checking on Vansh and she chuckled sadly in her mind seeing his facial expressions. He is unable to control those emotions right now. One can say he wants to hold Ragini and speak to her but stops himself from doing it.

To say it doesn't matter to her to see her husband Vansh the man she is in love with have such feelings for another woman because now she knows he was playing with her own feelings and never truly loved her would be one big lie. It does matters and it does hurts. (thought Riddhima sadly) Agreed she knows he is playing with her and does not return her feelings and is pretending but this heart this stupid heart of hers which longs for him and his affections how do you explain it? But no this was not the time to let her emotions weaken her resolve to teach him a lesson. (she thought determined)

Having a look once again at Vansh and her surroundings. She felt a need to take this as an opportunity and says,

"Vansh, I feel at this time it is you who needs to be strong. I understand since three years you are protecting her from an unknown enemy. Though she betrayed you, you are showering her with care. Once she opens her eyes, she would search for you. Therefore, you should be here with her."

Dadi and the rest were shocked to hear Riddhima. Dadi was the first one to ask

"Riddhima, I understand your concern dear, but still, now you are married to him. Asking him to shower care on her is not a good thing."

"Dadi, I'm saying what he did until now. If he didn't care for her why he would protect her until today? Also, Dadi I know the pain of losing someone special and I don't want Vansh to go through the same pain. So let him be with Ragini if nothing else as a human he should take care of her as he has been doing till now. You all should be proud of him that the girl who betrayed him still took care of her. That itself says how big of a heart he has got and I am so proud of him." said Riddhima with a smile.

Vansh was observing her every moment and checking on her. When she asked him to stay with Ragini, he felt she is making him look like a bad person before Dadi but then the way she praised him, he felt a sense of achievement and felt proud in himself. He did not know what to make out of it then she went ahead and says things like right now when she said she knows the pain, what pain she is talking about? Is it about Kabir? Kabir is her past while I'm her present. So whom she lost? Why this girl brings trouble most of the time in the form of confusion and questions, either it would be her words or actions and says 

"Riddhima, enough now. I know how to handle things. Don't just put your thoughts into other's people heads."

Dadi gets angry listening to Vansh's words for Riddhima. Dadi knows what turmoil Riddhima was going through and supports her by saying 

"Vansh, enough. First, you did wrong. You have hidden Ragini from all of us. Until today we thought she is dead. You hiding her from the family members and me especially is your mistake. Being a wife it's not easy to support own husband's ex-lover. Yet, she is doing this for you. If you want to protect Ragini, do it. However, I don't want her near you and this family. Hire a nurse who can treat her."
