Riansh FF: BROKEN

Chapter 8

A good friend makes you

while a bad friend breaks you.

A friend, friend is one word but often holds so much significance in our life without us even realizing it. A relation, a person that used to be your partner in crime as a kid, your secret keeper, your supporter, protector, companion, and so much more. A true friend can fight the world for you. That one person in front of whom you can be you without the fear of being judged. That one person you know will have your back no matter what. They might be mean in front of you but behind your back will not allow anyone else to say a word against you. They will fight with you and also for you, annoy you, irritate you, and prank you, but will love you truly. They are the family away from the family.

From the time that she remembers there has been one person in her life who had been a constant even when everything else was chaos Sejal. Riddhima thought with a smile on her face.

That one very important person and relation she feels blessed to have in her life. As a kid when she often felt upset and lonely for not having a family and person to call her own this girl became a sister to her then. The only family that she has ever known. For the longest time, she had been the single most important person in her life. The one person who has always been there for her and right now here in this house among all this mess she is being missed dearly.

Lost in her thoughts about Sejal, Riddhima walked in the corridor when the ringing of her cell phone brought her out of her thoughts. Looking at the caller Riddhima happily picked up the phone.

"I was just thinking about you," Riddhima said happily.

"Awwweeeee missing me so much. Well, good news for you I am back in town and will make my entrance into that madhouse you have the misfortune of staying in pretty soon. Just stay strong my love till I come to your rescue." Sejal replied back chirpily.

"Yes, I am missing you so much, my love. Good to know that. Wait a minute let me go to my room and you come on a video call I need to see your face. People here you can't trust. No one here seems to understand the concept of some privacy." Said Riddhima with an eye roll noticing a person lurking behind in the shadows trying to listen to her conversation.

Saying so she walks away towards her bedroom.

"I was just thinking about you." Said Riddhima happily.

Vansh was going to a very important meeting when he heard Riddhima saying those words. Stopping him in his tracks forcing him to hide and listen to the conversation.

Who is she talking to? Is it that inspector Kabir again? I need to know. Thought Vansh determined.

"Yes, I am missing you so much, my love. Good to know that. Wait a minute let me go to my room and you come on a video call I need to see your face. People here you can't trust. No one here seems to understand the concept of some privacy."

He heard Riddhima saying and walking away.

"What the hell? Did she just say that?" thought Vansh with his mouth open and then furiously

"It's her who keeps on spying every day and says people here don't know the meaning of privacy? Ok, maybe she hasn't been doing anything for a while at least not since her return but still? And what did she say she misses him or is it her? My love? definitely him" mumbling to himself with narrowed eyes he followed Riddhima.

Reaching her room she closed the door and locked it. Vansh who could not see or hear the person on the call stands outside the window and tries to hear what Riddhima is talking about and saying to the said person. Noticing him outside the window Riddhima decided to play along knowing Vansh must have concluded the person on the call she is with to be Kabir.
