32~ "I want to be your husband"

AUTHOR'S POV,

Maheshwari palace

For the past 1 hour Megha was standing outside Riddhima's room and asking her to open the door.

"Riddhi open the door yarr, don't do this, trust your family once"

"The news that you saw is just a drama of these media, they create a ruckus if they see anyone together but you know it's nothing serious between you two"

Megha was convincing all the time that Riddhima should open the door somehow but still there was no response from inside.

"Riddhima open it otherwise I need to break-" Before Megha thought of breaking the door, Shivani and Vijay have reached there.

"Megha what happened?" Shivani asked in a frightened voice

"Aunty please do something, she locked herself..it will effect her health" Then Megha started telling everything, how Riddhima was shocked and she immediately called her and told her that what she was afraid of was really happening. She did not want to embarrass her family once again.

After listening to Megha, Shivani controlled her emotions and turned towards the door "Princess it was not your fault beta..it was just a picture,  trust your dad Riddhima, he will not let anything wrong happen to you"

"Yes Princess" Vijay Maheshwari said this while knocking the door, "And you don't need to be afraid of anyone, this is your life, live it your way"

But still when Vijay didn't get any response, he thought of breaking the door, but then at the same time a harsh voice came from behind

"Leave all this to me, I will talk to her"

Then everyone looked towards that voice and there was Aditya Rai Singhania with a stern face, absolutely in calm manner, symbolizing that he was not affected by all this.

"You shouldn't be here Aditya what's going on in your mind now" Vijay said in his cold voice but Aditya did not give any reply to this, instead he turned towards Shivani and said to her.

"shall I try just once"

On this Shivani looked towards Vijay and nodded her head in yes. "But she is not opening the door"

"Leave us alone just for minutes" Aditya said again and walked towards Riddhima's door.

After that Vijay, Shivani and Megha left from there but even in the hall, all of them were keeping an eye on that door.

On the other side Aditya took a deep breath and went near the door and said

"I had no idea that you will punish yourself for my mistake like this"

And as soon as Aditya finished his sentence, there was a sound of the door opening and in front of him Riddhima was standing in her wet clothes which were now probably half dry, looking at her it seemed as if she was standing under the shower for an hour.

But Aditya got little surprised, when Riddhima hugged him and started crying keeping her head on his chest.

Aditya stood there for some time but when he felt that she would not be able to stand for much longer, so he took her inside the room, made her sit on the bed and he sat on his knees.

Riddhima's eyes were still brimming with tears, she wanted to say something but neither time nor luck was with her.

When Aditya saw that she was crying terribly, he held Riddhima's hand and said in a very soft voice, "I want to be your husband"

She had only heard this much, she did not know where her crying had disappeared, she started to process in her mind what the person sitting in front of her had just said to her.

When Aditya did not get any answer from her, he again asked her "Will I get this chance?"

Keeping his point forward, he said again "I did not want to say anything to you so suddenly but seeing all this, it seems that this is the right time."

"Will you give me a place in your life?"

Riddhima who was distress just a while ago, now started thinking about her past life, how her ex-husband Mihir had trapped her, how she had come in his fake words. Riddhima had thought this much that Aditya kept his words in the middle and said as if he knew what his Riddhima must be thinking "You don't need to be afraid of me, do I ever hurt you?"

Hearing this from Aditya, Riddhima wiped her tears and taking a deep breath gestured to Aditya "This will not be right for us, we both don't match"

"And who said this" Aditya asked while bending towards Riddhima

At which Riddhima stood up from there and looked away from him.

At this Aditya smiled a little and stood up himself. "I want to marry you, if not now then sometime but I want to marry you only and you don't worry about today, I will do everything in right way"

After saying this when Aditya started to leave from there then Riddhima grabbed his coat from behind and lowered her eyes and told in gestures

"Lekin main kabhi bol nahi paungi"

(But I will never be able to say anything)

At this Aditya went to her very gently and said "Fark nahi padta..tumhari aankhe samajhne ke liye kaafi hai"

(It doesn't matter, your eyes are enough to understand)

"You are not understanding...go away from here please, I'm not worthy of you, I am not at all what you think I am".

"Toh kaisi ho tum?" Aditya asked and took his steps forward.

(Then how are you?)

Riddhima closed her eyes and turned her back towards him and controlling herself,she opened the side drawer of her bed in which she had kept two diaries but she took out one of them and placed it in front of Aditya and started looking into his eyes, her eyes glued to his as if she wanted to say that read it before taking any decision.

And here Aditya too took that diary in his hand in confusion and started looking at it carefully.

It seemed to be a simple diary whose pages were completely filled with blank ink, and there was not even a single line left in this. The words were also hushed up because of the water. Now whether it was water drop or someone's tears, only the writer could tell.

Aditya once again looked at Riddhima and asked if he could read it, to which she said yes, but the fear could be clearly seen on her face, but maybe she wanted to trust Aditya, maybe she wanted to give him a chance, but she did not have the courage,

Perhaps Aditya's presence was making her both safe and strong.

"After reading this, if you can accept me, then I will be happily yours, I won't stop you from doing anything."

Saying this she sat down on her bed but once again in her eyes, tears had made their ways.
