Okay call me after you reach you home okay ?". Vansh spoke and patted her head and kissed her forehead ...

"I'll meet you tommorow at your graduation ceremony ...."

She smiled , making him smiled too. And then he tried to open her car's door

"Honey, wait ..."

He stopped and turned to look at her .

"I want to meet your mom today ...please can I meet her ...? I really missing her ..." She stated with a little amount of hope because she knew vansh was really sensitive about his mother .

He smiled and nodded.

"Okay..."

Her eyes lightened up in happiness and then they both get out from her car.

Inside his house

"Momma .. look who's here to meet you ." Ridz spoke excitedly entering into his house ...

"Ridhu.."

And then she saw his mother laying into the bed with her face almost which had almost turned pale , dark circles had grown under her brown eyes which had turned dull but still there was a smile plastered on her face .. Ridhima knew about his mother's condition that she was very ill and for that she even tried to help him financially too. But he declined her and was doing everything to take care and look after his mother on his own...

And Ridhima knew he was doing his best because his mother was slowly progressing in her health..

"How are you , mamma ?" She spoke walking towards her, making his mother's smile to wife and she tried to get up from the bed, for which ridhima immadeately held her and helped her in a sitting

"I am fine child, how are you ...?"

"I was good and after watching you I turned best. .." ridhima replied and pecked his mother's forehead gently and sat beside her ....

His mother patted her cheek and spoke with a smile

"I am so happy to see you here ..."

"Me too ... Everytime I meet you I feel like I am seeing my mum again...

His mother smiled and caressed her cheek..

"You're like my own daughter , my child and I am so grateful that my son has someone like you in his life , who is going to look after me. When I will not be....

"Don't mumma... Don't say like this... We will together take care of our vanshu and then will beat him together ..." Ridhima spoke , trying to sound happy but her voice broke at the end , which made his mother sqeeuzs her palm....

"We"ll, my child but I know you're capable of taking care of him alone too..." His mother spoke with a smile ..

"It's only because of you, my son has again started to live happily and tried to be happy in his life because before he was living a souless life which has no meaning ... He was hurt because of our society's taunts, judgements on our pavetry , specially after his father's death nd all these things had shattered him from inside but he never shared it with the day you come into his life ,you melted that stone with your love and trust me , he loves you more than his own self...

His mother spoke with her ready eyes which made her heart to clutch. She held back her hand and stated .

"I know , mumma and I am grateful to have him in my life but you promise me that you will fight too.. you will fight for us and together we all are going to live a happy family life...

"But where he is... ? He told me he is going to use the rest room .. honey ..." Ridhima yelled his name , making him to enter the room..

"Look our honey is here..."

Vansh smiled at her comment and then saw her phone ringing ..

"Oh.. no... Dad... I have to go now, it's getting late . I"LL meet you tomorrow at college honey , bye mumma take care and see you soon... Love you ...," Ridhima said while getting his mother's head , to which he smiled back .

"Love you too. My child ... Take care ...

She nodded and walked towards him she engulfed him and pecked his cheek.

"Bye , honey see you soon and take care of yourself and mamma okay...

He nodded with a smile and caressed her hairs to which she giggled and left ..

.....................................

Next day ..

"So our next student is Ridhima who had topped our college in business management ...."

Everyone started clapping and cheering of her wheras vansh's eyes gleamed with happiness . His excited gazs stopped at the stage where he found her walking on it and took her degree from the authority and just simply bowed and thanked everyone.

But he found something unusual in her beautiful eyes that day we had assumed was going to lighten up in happiness after hearing she had topped her college because she had really worked hard for her studies and her hard work finally paid off to her , but instead of happiness , he found her gaze fill and lifeless।।

Her eyes roamed at everyone like searching for someone specific in the crowd and finally halted when it fell in his dark eyes which made him to tense up when she immediately darted her gaze away from him and finally bowed again and left the stage ।।

"Why is she looking so sad , angre ...?"

Vansh asked worriedly looking at angre , who was sitting beside him.

"Probably , she was stressed because of her yesterday's argument with Kabir and he was really close to her that's why . Look even after their arguments Kabir is still here for her support ..." Angre replied while pointing his finger towards kabir , who was sitting beside Ridhima's father from a little far from them...

"And maybe she is just stressed about her graduation... Don't worry after this

.. call her when her father will.left for his work and asked her okay?"

Vansh sighed heavily and then nodded and looked towards her who was sitting beside her father , but was looking , she was completely lost in her own world, which made him a little wildered because he had never saw her behaving like this ... He sighed and decided after all of this , he would her and then meet her and asked her what was bothering her ..

In the. Evening

Vansh was sitting on his side while continuously thinking about her . After her graduation , she left with her father without meeting him for once . He thought maybe because of her father but she didn't even call him for once and neither picked any of his call., Which made him restless .

He got up from the sofa and roamed his empty house because his mother went to her sister's house and he was completely alone... His mind continuously to recall her tensed face and dull eyes , which made him very uneasy by watching her behaving like that for the first time from the past 2 years for their relationship..

She never ignored his calls, no matter. What and at least used to call him back after an hour but today it has almost turned evening from morning and she still didn't try to contact him back , making him more worried for her.

He was totally drowned in his thought when he leaned his phone ringing . He immediately took it out and his heartbeat increased watching the person's name flashing on it ...

He hurriedly picked it up and spoke.

"Ridhima , are you alright ...? Where were ,y....?

"I want to meet you. Vansh ...

His words got halted when he heard her voice at the phone and there was something unusual about it today ...

" Is momma at home...?"

"No she went at my aunt's house..." He replied to which she replied  ,

"meet me at hotel lodge blue ray..

"Right now but it's almost evening sweetheart and you dad , he will..

",Don't worry about him. I just want to meet you right now , it's very urgent ...."

He suspired and replied

"Okay I"ll be there in 15 minuted bye.."

"I"LL be waiting for you there...." She replied and then hung up the call , whci made him to sign and walked out from his house

At hotel lodeg Blue Ray

He hurriedly walked inside the room number which she had told him and then saw her standing at the window , back facing him.

"Ridhima.."

He spoke softly , making her to slowly turn around and his eyes widened watching her eyes to tear ..

"I want to meet you , vansh ..

His words got halted when she pressed her lips against his and caged him as tightly as she could ..

"I love you . Honey ..." She mumbled against his lips while silently shedding her tears...

He slightly pulled back and again palmed her face and wiped her tears.

"I love you more, sweetheart. But why are you crying ...? What happened please tell me... Please ?"

He asked almost panicked by watching her tears to which she sighed and replies .

"I am stressed about something I just have a argument with my dad he scolded me..."

He waved at her response and again wiped her tears which were falling from her eyes ..

"It's okay ...he's your father and if he scolded you it means he wants something good for you because we both know how much. He loves you Ridhima."" He spoke and pecked her head.

"Don't worry everything will be alright soon.."

She slowly nodded her head and again hugged him and could feel her grip tightening aroung him as he caged her to embrace each other untill

"Honey, I want something from you... Will you give it to me...?"

He broke the hug and again palmed her face ..

"Anything for you expect my life because I want to spend it with you forever ..."

Her eyes again dwelled up with tears hearing his words but she sighed and cooked deeply into his eyes, making him a little untidy untill he heard her speaking ।।

"Vansh , I want to be yours ..

Her words made him a little confused .

" But you're already mine , sweetheart then ...

"His words got stucked , into his mouth when she again captured his lips but this time a little firmly and deeply as she murmured into his mouth...

"I want to be yours in every possible way. Right here right now,".
