RiHaan/RiAnsh OS: Marriage Dilemma [√]

Riddhima paced in her room waiting for Vihaan to enter so she can formulate a plan to thwart Dadi marriage idea. 

Marriage, she didn't know why she was  being forced to marry someone all the time , first it was Vansh and she had thought of herself fortunate to fall in love with him ,only for him to die and leave her alone

Then Kabir wanted to marry her for Vansh inheritance, she would have been happy if it was the same Kabir she fell in love with and not the greedy monster before her . Once she wanted to marry the same person , now such a fate seemed the cruelest of all . 

And so she went and did what she assumed to be a better plan , brought someone who liked Vansh to pretend to be her husband , so she can escape the marriage plans of Kabir. 

But Vihaan went out of the script, he brought in the divorce papers said it won't be believable otherwise and as if that is not enough , Dadi teared the papers few minutes earlier and demanded they get married again . 

Riddhima had married once against her will for Kabir , the man she thought she was in love with and she won't do it again. And so she waited for Vihaan to walk into the room , so they can make a plan to ensure such marriage didn't happen but he was taking his sweet time getting back .

And when he entered the room , he was dressed as an groom and she realized he had no idea to get out of it and her heart sank, she had hoped Vihaan would formulate a plan to get her out of this marriage , why would he want to marry a stranger . 

" No , we are not going through with it . You were supposed to pretend to be my husband , not become an actual one " Riddhima lashed at him . 

" Then go and tell Vansh's Dadi ,you won't marry me " Vihaan answered back with a smirk or a smile. He wasn't the least bit affected by her turmoil. 

" You know I can't , you have to come up with something , I will even take your divorce plan and kicking me out to the outhouse plan instead of this one , convince her that you hate me and you can't never marry me . 

We can find a way to communicate outsize the house, we just have to stop Kabir and once things settled down , I will tell Dadi the truth and you can leave , I will pay you more , just make this marriage stop " Riddhima spoke up desperate now . 

Riddhima loved Dadi for standing up for her but marrying Vihaan isn't right. 

" Come on , I look like your husband , so you can't find me ugly , What the harm in fulfilling his dadi's wish , just a small marriage , and you are acting like it is a life time bond , all we need is a short signature to break it down the line " Vihaan answered back .

" There is no such thing as small marriage , My husband died , he is dead and here all of you are expecting me to marry again as if it is easy for me. I can't do it Vihaan , please do something " Riddhima spoke up , she didn't care that she was acting helpless because she didn't know any other way . 

Dadi was threatening her with love and Kabir was threatening her with blackmail , she was cornered on all sides . 

" Look, if you left the house how will I be able to convince others I am Vansh , you need to be inside the house for that to happen and this marriage doesn't have to change anything . 

Once this is all over , we get divorce , you go your way and I will go away richer than before and you might be really pretty but I have no interest in being married to someone who is in love with someone else " Vihaan answered back 

Riddhima knew what he mean yet her heart was conflicted, her hands went to the Mangalsutra bracelet Vansh made her wear just before he died and her whole heart rebelled at the thought of marrying someone else even if it for the purest reasons. 

Riddhima was trying to protect his family , Vansh would understand why she had to do go to this extremes and yet she wished there was some other way. 

" Arey Riddhima.  Still you aren't ready . And Vansh , get out of this room and leave her to get ready " Dadi walked inside her room and dragged  Vihaan out with her , leaving Riddhima  alone once again .

Riddhima didn't want to marry yet another time against her will , once she made the decision to go through it save Kabir and now she have to make the same decision to save Vansh's family from Kabir. 

The irony of her life made her want to laugh and cry at the same time . As she got ready, her heart kept silently weeping and hoping for an way out . In the end there was no escape as she walked outside her room to be married  again 

                  *******************

He shouldn't be moved by her tears but he was shaken a little , he wanted to shake her up by the divorce papers and the marriage idea. 

He wanted to see how she will react, and instead he was confused as ever, his initial plan had been to stay away from her till the wedding. 

Yet he walked inside the room to see how she was taking the news, the fact she claimed not to marry him wasn't a surprise, she brought him inside the house not to marry someone else in the first place. 

But the fact, she grieved for Vansh gave him an pause , her desperation to make this marriage stop made him regret his plans a little and the way her hands continued to grip the bracelet as if she didn't want to let the last tie between them break made him wonder if this would break her far more than he expected. 

And when she walked into  the room with an haunted expression in her face , he realized that while his plan felt good on his mind , seeing her suffer didn't bring him any happiness . 

When she walked and stood beside him, he realized what it was costing her to do so and he didn't like it , maybe it was why he had been foolish enough to whisper those words to her just before the rituals began. 

" Whatever happens now doesn't change anything  , you will always be Mrs  Vansh Rai Singhania . Just remember that " he spoke up, because it is the truth. 

He may have made many plans but he wasn't going to let her walk away from him, not without getting his answer, he said the truth to her earlier when he told her that he had no interest in being married to her when she  is in love with someone else . 

But if the person in her heart was him , then he will never let her walk away from him. And she will always remain as Mrs Vansh Rai Singhania.
