Holding Riddhima by the upper arm, Vansh tugged at it, making her fall on his chest. His death grip would leave a bruise, she was sure of it. His other arm snaked around her waist, their bodies plastered together. Riddhima's hands flew to his shoulder, steadying herself while their gazes locked. Her red puffy eyes, as she let out a strangled sob doing something to him.

"Sweeth."

He started only to get stumbled back as Riddhima pushed him away with all her strength. Angrey held his shoulder as everyone stared wide-eyed at Riddhima for using so much force.

"Koshish bhi mat karna Vansh, mujhe hath lagaya na toh I promise sach kuch kar dungi mai khud ko"

(Don't even dare try it, Vansh, I promise I would do something to myself.)

Riddhima pointed a finger in his direction. Her eyes spitting fire. His breathing was ragged and harsh. Whereas Riddhima was also desperately scrabbling around looking for some internal strength to not let her break down, to fight him.

"I am sorr."

"Sorry mat bolna. Himmat bhi mat karna."

(Don't even dare use the word sorry.)

He gazes at her warily.

"Rudra, aaj toh atom bomb phut rahy, phele Anu di ka sach samne aya aur ab ussy bhi bda bomd, Vansh maafi mang rha hai"

(Rudra, it's a day of miracles. First, we got to know what a fox Anupriya is, and now, the biggest eighth wonder of the world, Vansh is apologizing.)

Chanchal Chachi (Aunt) stealthily whispered in her husband's ear as the entire family's eyes popped out and mind boggled seeing Vansh using the word sorry. The collective loud gasp of everyone startled the staff in the kitchen. Rudra hushed his foolish blunt wife.

"Riddhima",

Vansh pleads, shocked.

Shoving a finger in his chest Riddhima pushed him back cutting him off yet again,

"Pta hai Vansh, galti tumhari nahi hai, galti toh meri hai jo mainy iss sabko itni aasani se accept kar liye, tumhe itni aasani se accept kar liya. Jab se tum meri life may aaye ho na, saary faisle tumhi toh le rahy ho, aur mai ek khilona"

(You know what Vansh, it's not yours, it's my fault. Everything is my fault as I accepted all this so easily, I accepted you so easily. Since you came into my life, every decision has been yours, and about me, I am just your toy.)

Wiping her with the back of her hand, Riddhima stared at him teary-eyed. Scalding tears spill down her cheeks as she continued,

"Mera is ghar may aana tumhara faisla, Sia k treatment ke liye yahi rehna tumhara faisla, humari shaadi tumhara faisla. Sab kuch tumhara faisla. Vansh mujh lga koi baat nahi, Rishta juda kaise bhi Riddhima, teri shaadi hui vo maiyne rakhti hai, ussy nibha. Khud ke liye jo sapne dekhe thy ussy jyada jo mere kanha ji ne mere liye chuna mainy uspar bharosa karne ki sochi."

(Me coming to VR Mansion, your decision, me staying here for Sia's treatment, your decision, our wedding, your decision. Everything was your decision. Vansh instead of the way we got married, I decided to focus on the fact that we are married now, I decided to trust god's decision for my future instead of my own.)

Riddhima hiccupped, Vansh again stepped forward to hold her, when she hurriedly stepped back, her palms raised asking him to stay away, she was shaking uncontrollably as continued sobs escaped her. Holding her head with his hands she takes a few calming breaths, chewing on her bottom lip as the lump in her throat keeps getting higher,
