17 May 2024

Riddhima lives with her bro Vyom, and they have new neighbor, Vansh. Riddhu: 19, Vansh: 30

It's a shiny morning where she's walking to her learning place. On her way, there's an accident that she gets scared and don't know how to pass them. Must she cross the road now? But she can't pass it. Never without help. But she must try or she'll be late. Hesitant to step her leg, Riddhu looks here and there to check if there's a vehicle.

Um.. i can- she runs without think. Ofc the drivers get confused by her craziness and a car hits her.

An hour later, she's still in hospital lay with bandage on her head and arms. In other side, her bro Vyom is in his office still so he doesn't understand anything. There, Vansh meets Vyom as they're business partner since before but not knowing that Vansh just moved to the same flat.

Vansh, come in. How was the road? I wish it's ok-

Oh it's ok but there was an accident, i hit a girl. And i sent her to hospital. I didn't wanna leave but u are waiting so i asked the nurses to tell me if she's awake- Vansh said with concern.

Huh? So poor.. i hope she's ok-

No no. She doesn't have major injury. They say she only has minor injury and it's her fault for ran on the road. She came like a ghost surprised me like hell!- Vansh shooks his head with Vyom.

Later..

I'm sorry coz i hit u. U ran without see. I didn't mean to hit u, so sorry- Vansh told to Riddhu. She only nod while hissing touching her bandaged arm.

Um, dr said u can go home. Can i help u?-

Sure.. i feel bad. But i don't want this bandage- she tries to take it off. Vansh gets surprised, he holds her hand and ask her not to do that.

No! I don't like it!- she yelled.

But u need it! U have fresh wound inside!- he scolded her. She doesn't have words to fight and leave with him.

Vansh is surprised coz Riddhu lives in the same flat also his neighbor. He knocks the door for her. As soon as the door is opened, Vansh almost get heart attack coz Vyom is there.

Vansh?! What are u doing here?- he also shocked to see Riddhu in that condition. Vyom holds her arms and ask her in worry. Vansh gulps his saliva think how will Vyom forgive him now.

Babygirl, how this happened? Why u have these bandages?- his sad face. Riddhu takes a deep breath.

He hit me-

What? Vansh?? U hit my sister?!! How dare u!- Vyom scolded coz he's so worry about his lil sister. Vansh tries to explain the accident to Vyom.

Riddhima.. i told u not to cross the road right? U can't do that. But why u did that???- Vyom cups her cheeks and kiss her forehead.

Vyom takes her inside with Vansh who still feel guilty. Vyom feeds her with her fav soup made by him.
