Chapter 13

*******

Vansh opened his eyes and a bittersweet pain in his head made him puzzled , suddenly he remembered whatever happened .

He shook off his head in disappointment . Disappointment on himself. Why he is like that....

He looked around he was still in the room.

"What?" , He thought he must be in the police station by now but he......

He threw off the blanket and came out.

The girls were sitting at the fireplace . He approached them.

Pihu stood up and Riddhima turned. There expression were still bitter.

And what would you expect them to be for a cold blooded murderer.

"I .... I....", He didn't wanted to prove anything but why he is still here actually confused him.

"Sorry", Pihu broke his statement."I should not have hit you."

This was shocking..... actually. He expected them to shout and threw him out but they .........................are they even serious , to stay so calm with a murderer.

"I am sorry Pihu and.....",he went up to Riddhima.

"I am sorry Riddhima."

"I am so sorry ...... I am just out of my mind sometime ......I didn't wanted to hurt you ...

But .........", he sighed.

"I am sorry....... I ........ I am such a psycho....".

"Don't be...... I told you no , I am a psychologist.". Riddhima smiled.

This was not at all one would expect as a reaction from a girl who was so soft hearted. How can she even bear a murderer but she was smiling.

"I will leave." , He stood up .

"Yes you have to.", Riddhima also stood up from the chair.

Finally, they were just waiting for him to get up. He was ok , they didn't broke his belief , if everyone says he is a criminal then why weren't they , but finally they did .

Vansh nodded and left for the room. He came out after sometime ;Riddhima and Pihu were waiting for him. He went to them.

"Thank..you ..... That's all I can say ....... And all I have to say.

Sorry for creating so much tension in your life just erase me from your memories and live a happy life.",

He looked at them.

There was no reply. He turned his head and went up to the main door.As he turned to take a last look at them he saw them standing just behind him.He was shocked.He opened the door and walked out and they followed him.

He stopped and turned.

"What?"

"What?", Pihu smiled.

"What?", He asked again in frustration.

"What is this what what...... ",

"Why are you both coming behind me."

"We are just looking were you will go."

He took a deep breath.

"Will you go back."

"No"

"Why........  what you want."

"Truth", Riddhima held his hand and brought him inside.

"Truth and we will not disturb you.", Her eyes spoke a different vibe.

"I don't want to tell.",

"But we have to hear.",

"Is this some kind of forced.",

"Yes it is."

Vansh threw off his hand in frustration.

"Either you will tell us or we will call your family and ask.",

Vansh looked at Riddhima.

What............. he checked his pocket and his wallet was missing.

Pihu showed him his missing truth.

He tried to grab it but she backed.

"What type of murderer keep the photo of his target even after killing them. " Pihu questioned.

Vansh looked at them defeated.

"I know you can't kill anyone , and now it's sake of my trust , you will tell me the truth or I will call ." , Riddhima took the phone and showed it to Vansh

"No.... Riddhima..... No ...."

She dialled the number.

"Ok .....ok...",

He shouted, she hanged up the call and looked at him.

"Each and everything truly."

"Ok", He snatched the phone taking a deep breathe.

They got seated around the fireplace ready to hear the truth that was buried , the past that haunted , and the tears that were hidden.

Vansh looked at the photograph in the light of the fire and the smiling faces brought a smile to his face.

"Everything was beautiful, everything was so happy. My family , me, everyone around but ......... Life tored everything apart , Just everything."

A tear felled from his eyes.

Wiping it he looked at the eyes before him, which were ready to do everything they could ,to help a person whom the world denounced as a murderer.

"I am Vansh Raisinghania........", And his eyes blinked taking him and his saviours to the time which was the so dark that even the brightest sun could not create a shadow.

His life was not like this always. This morning rays were once the most beautiful alarms for him when he was with his family in Mumbai.

A well settled business and a sweet family. Even after losing his parents at a very young age he was never abstained from the love . His grandmother and aunt filled the gap in every way possible.

Now , he was big enough to carry the responsibility of the business and his family too. His happiness, his smile and his joy everything was in his family , and to be exact his sisters, Sia and Ishani. And offcourse they were no less than a brat in the full protection of there brother.

His cousin Aryan and his parents were equally important to him. They raised him and filled the place of his parents but top of everything was his grandmother.

To this family , the reason he woke everyday . There smile the purpose , he worked for. But little did he knew that his life would take such a turn and this fairytale would turn into a nightmare, a nightmare of horror and blood.

It was the day his sister Ishani introduced them to the love of her life , her boyfriend Kabir.

Vansh was never against it and infact he only insisted Ishani to bring him for dinner so that the family could meet him. But when he arrived , he turned out to be none other than , his blood thirsty enemy Kabir.

How can someone fall so low to take revenge........

That dinner night; how much he hope now , it wouldn't had come.

How much he hope now , that Kabir would have been someone else , who actually loved his sister but not everything happens how you want it to and they had to face it.

That day everything changed , he threw Kabir out of his house and he left in his lined up SUVs , he still remember his last smirk .

They tried the best to make Ishani understand what type of person Kabir was but she was just blind in his love. Just blind.

Days passed by and the condition bettered Vansh thought everything was normal now and he left for the business trip he had postponed due to these incidents.

On his farewell , he remember how his grandmother kissed his forehead and asked him to stay.

"I won't die......." ,

Why he said that , yes he didn't but someone did.
