Riddhima with her bend head was just about to go to bed - when in her emotion filled automation , She Picked the parcel up which was supposed for her to open and Placed it on the nearby table .

Gauzing by her expressionless face , She was really not interested in it . But the seemingly insignificant thing contained a great deal of importance in her life . Which Riddhima would realise in upcoming days .

Nevertheless ,Even if sorrounded by  the tense environment of their bedroom Vansh didn't fail to notice that thing wrapped in a opaque covering . Which now laid on the table nearby theirs king-size bed . But he was rooted to the floor , quite helpless with his wife's indifference . It did hurt a big deal , really .....Then what could he do ? The way she laid on the mattress facing her back to him ,it was clear riddhima was in no mood to talk . So he relented disturbing her .

Instead , to make sure she would be alright , he took himself to the bed only to mirror her position . His wife was breathing quietly , as Vansh kept watching her . Right hand tucked under his head , he forwarded his free one intending to touch her . But then it stopped midway , knowing very well his advances will be rebuffed .

The matter of great concern was , She was not even crying . That was what scared him - Her untold misery .....  Emotions if suppressed , could necros you from within . And it scared him a lot . For her ......

        His inside churned seeing her this distressed . Needless to say ,he wanted to apologise , say sorry to her . Subsequently take her in his arms to soothe her pain away . Even so it is a long dream to achieve , in this particular scenario !

But it was a matter of question what kind of love he had ? Vansh wanted to be the medicine of the wound which he was the cause for ?! In any normal condition was that even acceptable ? Did n't he , in his blind love for his sister had inflicted a wound , riddhima would hardly forget Ever ?

Still amidst all these musings , The big question still remained -

What if the situations were turned and he was in her place ? What if ! Vansh shuddered . But , empathy was out of question ...he was not able to feel , even a shroud of sadness ,that riddhima was experiencing . So he led it to rest and slept along with his jaan  . Him and her both in an empty stomach but seemingly a heavy heart .

As of the sleep didn't come easy  . Worried Vansh got up one or two times during it .  One time to cover her properly with the duvet , another time to fill her glass at the side of her table with water . In the course of which , Vansh noticed the Parcel placed on it .

His hawk like eyes sharpened . Curiousity got the better of him  . And he lifted it . Only to realise it was light weighted . Must be some documents or pictures , certainly didn't seem like a gift  or any belongings . What if any secret admirer ? Was anyone stalking his riddhima ? His nose flared in anger and to get some clue he started watching it closely .

The adress was VR Mansion,it was clearly written  . But no sender's name . Who must have sent it ? No worries , he was VR . He will surely extract the information . 

   Even though he really wanted to open and check more . His conscience stopped it .Her Breach of privacy would be the second mistake Vansh would do this evening . So he stopped , bent down . Giving her a forehead kiss , he then went onto Sleep .

The dark night went uneventfully untill morning.

" Sir ,sir ......" Vansh heard someone mumbling through his sleeping haze . Even though the sound was feeble ,Vansh got up at once due to it . Only to see , the Buttler trembling with fear with tray full of tea and breakfast on his hand. Of

Vansh furrowed his brow . It was generally the beautiful face of his wife that he generally gets treated to instead of the help . Was she so angry with him ? That she would even deprive this from her husband . But putting all his doubt to rest , the Buttler stammered through his words

" Sorry sir , mai aapko disturb......nahi karna chahta tha . Par......par riddhima mam ko dadiji ne niche bulaya hai to isiliye....... unhone mujhe bhej diya "

Vansh 's ear perked up . Early this morning ? Then his face broke into that of a sudden realisation . Ishani must have complained it to  dadimaa . So she must be

" Oh , shit...."

Throwing the duvet off he ran downstairs , worrying for riddhima . His dadimaa was otherwise calm , but the commotion that he was hearing coming from far , Vansh was not sure . Speeding up , as he increased his pace- he couldn't hear  clear .

-----------------------------------------

Dining hall , VR Mansion

" Riddhima beta , Ishani pregnant hai . Mai jaanti hoon wo nasamajh hai .usse baat karne ki tameez nahi hai . Par beta , aisa kya hi bol diya usne ki tumne usse thappad mar diya . Tumpe mai itna naaz karti hoon riddhima . Phir tumne aese kaise kiya ? "  Dadi had confronted riddhima , when she was about to go to kitchen for having breakfast . Yesterday night , she didn't have dinner . So feeling a little hungry ,she wanted to eat something after sending the same for Vansh . But Alas .

" Arey dadi , aap itne pyar se kya samjha rahi hain ? Maine to reason bataya tha aapko . Isko kuch sabak sikhao taki yeh dubara mere saath aisa na kare . Janti hai na aap ek pregnant aurat ko kitni taqleef uthani padti hai . Yeh sab mental stress mere bacche ke liye thik nahi hai . " Ishani went on . But it was as if nothing could now hurt riddhima . So without responding to anything she stood their with a neutral expression . Only to hope they will be done with this soon.

" Aur Ishani ne to yeh tak kaha ki , tumhare thappad marne ki wajah se wo girte girte reh gayi . Agar sahi mai usse kuch ho jata to tum kya karti riddhima . Aur wese bhi Anath ho tum , family ka matalab tumhe thodi na pata ..kisiko kuch ho bhi jaye , toh tumhara thodi na kuch jayega....

" Enough ,"  Vansh roared .

Holding the metallic railing , he now stood on the lower part of the big staircase , huffing from the run he had done to reach there .  A little time ago , while taking  the stairs down ,  he noticed how riddhima was standing there with her unusual - I care a damn- expression . Vansh became confused . Generally , if in the wrong his wife fidgets with her dupatta nervous , her eyes would depict some emotion . But nothing was there . Instead she stood among them , with her head held high looking faraway . Much of their conversation he had missed . But as soon as he went more closer , chachi's words became more clear and distinct  . How dare she talk to his wife like that ? And on top of that blaming his jaan irrationally . He was there when it happened . And he knew , riddhima didn't push Ishani . So he glared at her for lying

" Ishani , tumne sabse jhoot kyun bola . Riddhima ki wajah se tum niche thodi na girne wali thi . How could you lie like that ?  Tumhara behaviour dekhkar to  mujhe is baat pe aur bhi yakeen ho raha hai ki tumne hi riddhima ko kuch bohut bura kaha hoga ki ......." Realisation dawned up on him and he diverted his attention to riddhima " she was bound to slap you" it came out as a whisper . But riddhima heard it . So their eyes met for a brief second .Her doe shaped eyes were confident , truthfull , and oh so brave . Nonetheless it lasted for a brief moment before turning into the same un-smiling ones . Her face turned from him to face dadi and voice so tired and hoarse filled the hall .

" Sorry ,dadi . Aage se mai kaushish karungi ki mai aapki poti ko koi tension na doon . Ho sake to mujhe maaf kijiyega . "

After saying this , In a monotonous voice that surprised him and his family , Riddhima left the dining hall . Not hearing what Dadi had to say ,she went upwards  crossing him at the bottom of the stairs . But never in a moment, she raised up her head to acknowledge him . This increased his anxiety . It was a matter of great worry . Riddhima was becoming unreachable ,and if the situation remains unchanged - in no time he would lose her . Needless to say , the thought was scary . So The mafia lord ran behind his jaan following her to their bedroom .

As soon as he entered , slightly wary -Vansh found her crying while sitting on the bed . Her cry was supposed to go on and on , had he not entered . But ,Seeing him standing at the door , riddhima stopped and wiped her tears in a hurry . He closed the door with a click and advanced towards her in Swift strides .

" Riddhima ...."

Distraught she got up from the bed to dash for the washroom . But was caught in the way . Her arms were clutched in his while her head remain hung , not facing him .

" Jaan please look at me " Vansh pleaded and riddhima did abide it . But the force of her stare threw him off-guard . Sending a chill down his spine , her eyes just looked at his face unblinking . As if,,,,as if they were soulless !

" Kapde utaroon .....?" Her feeble voice came

" Kya ? " Confused , Vansh asked jerking her a little forward .

She gave a humourless smile and started unzipping her kurti . Halfway through , Riddhima's hands were stopped to proceed further as Vansh caught her arms hard only to shout

" Kya kar rahi ho jaan . Stop " Vansh nose flared in anger . His eyes were turning red . It was understandable she was very distressed . But dare she insults their relationship like that .

" Kya kar rahi hoon ? are kapde utar rahi hoon . Isike liye to shadi ki hai aapne mujhse . I am just someone who warms your bed Mr Raisinghania .So come on just fuck me and quench your thirst . Aur plz mujhe bata dijiyega aapki hawas kab puri hogi , aur kab aap mujhe bahar phekoge ...taki mai.... " 

One second she was standing babbling these things , the next second she was thrown on the bed due to the magnitude of slap Vansh gave her

" How could you degrad yourself like that riddhima ? You are my wife for god's sake "
Vansh 's hand Clenched and unclenched beside him as he trembled with uncontrollable raze . The before sprawled up form of riddhima on the bed was turned around by the livid Vansh . Such that she now faced him with her undeterred  stare  . Vansh came forward - his one knee was fixated on the ground . While the other bent on the bed now loomed over riddhima . Clutched by her hair , her forehead was lifted up to touch his . Breath fanning on her lips , his dark voice spoke  " Tumse mai pyar karta hoon. I love you Jaan . Dare you ever malighn it . Abhi aesa keh diya , dubara mat kehna ."

" Socho , maine tumse aesa kaha to tumhe itna bura laga . Itna pyar ka dava karne par bhi tumne mujhe thappad mara . Just imagine jab tumhari behan nae mujhe aesa kaha to mujhe kaisa laga hoga ? " Realisation dawned up on Vansh . His eyes became dilated and  soccer like . Well Vansh was smart enough to know riddhima was talking referring to which context ! His sister , his own sister called his wife a........ That's why she slapped Ishani ! And instead of taking his wife's side , what did he do ? He berated her instead . Even worse , his dadi and chachi humiliated riddhima more . In shame , his eyes dropped . Vibrating with rage , he marched from there with murder in his eyes.

" Ishani ,,,,ishaniiiiiiii.........."

Hearing his screamings all fell silent in the dining hall . Specially the one to whom the rage was directed at . Gulping a little Ishani stood up seeing her brother covering the distance between them . Then and there she realised , he got to know the truth and even god couldn't save her from his wrath  .......

Chachi and even dadi got scared seeing Vansh like that . Ishani , in fear - took a step or two backwards . But couldn't match with the speed of Vansh . Everyone including Angre and Aryan too accumulated there save for Sia who had gone for shopping with her friends . They all looked at him flabbergasted . Specially  Angre . Needless to say he ran to save Ishani in a desperate attempt . Not  unknown to Vansh's rage , He knew what his boss was capable off !  But to his bad luck , VR beat him to it only to clutch Ishani's neck with death grip .

Everyone gasped . Dadi shouted ' Vansh ' . But to no avail . Nothing registered their confused mind . Yet they knew , if he won't be stopped , VANSH RAISINGHANIA would kill his own sister .

" Plz boss plz chhod dijiye ....pls........"

Angre pleaded trying to dislodge his hold . Even dadi and chachi tried . But , Vansh seemed to be possessed . Eyes blood red and clenched jaw , he  looked so ferocious . Ishani started coughing . Everyone's screamings increased and so did his tight hold . Unfortunately , it all fell to deaf ear .

" Vansh chhodo use , uska baccha mar jayega vansh plzzzzz"

The Frantic voice of riddhima did got registered in his ears . Swinging his head in a rapid move , Vansh saw her standing close to him , pulling his biceps .Her gaze pleading... On the other hand Looking at riddhima worried for the one who his wife suffered so much for , Vansh hung his head in shame and left Ishani at once .

They really didn't deserve her goodness . Do they ?

As soon as Vansh left her , Ishani coughed while Angre went and brought her a glass of water . She gulped it in one go . Everyone sorrounded her . Some pat her back , some said soothing words . While only Vansh and riddhima stood afar . After few minutes she was back to normal .

And The moment she was calm , Vansh ordered Angre .

" Angre , you are more than my brother . But I can't tolerate your wife near my riddhima . She really has crossed her limits . I was a fool to not see through it " Vansh didn't even spare Ishani a glare and kept talking to Angre "Tumne jo juhu wala flat kharida hai picchle mahine . Tum dono usme shift ho jana "

" Par Vansh " it was dadi , trying to oppose his decision . Vansh lifted his hand to stop her " not another word dadi , not another word " Dadi gulped and kept mum . Thus Vansh continued

" Aur haan meri taraf se jo Ishani ko allowance milti thi usse mai band kar raha hoon . Angre , tumhe aab apni patni aur bacche ki jimmedari khud uthani padegi "

Vansh spoke calmly , in contrast with his previous Violent behaviour . Angre nodded , without Uttering a word of protest . But then Ishani was a different case .

" Aap mera saath aesa nahi karsakte Bhai . Mai aapki Sagi behan hoon "

Ishani screeched . In response Vansh pointed his index finger at her and said in a tone laced with warning

" Shukar manao ki tum meri behan ho . Koi aur hota na " he paused , gritted his teeth and said "Meri wife ki insult karne ke liye , Abhi uska gala ghot k , gaad deta "

The danger eminated from his scary stance and deadly eyes .Needless to say ,  It was not everyday that his family saw his This side . But readers would agree, it was long overdue and Ishani deserved it ....

Precap - The parcel is not what you think .....
