Vansh's pov :

We reached my farmhouse. Ishani was totally passed out so Angre carried her inside the house. Whereas Aryan with his wobbling legs head inside and Riddhama supported Sejal and took her inside.

Entering inside Aryan directly crashed onto the couch and slept. I already have told the care takers to lay mattress in the living room itself because we were supposed to watch a movie after coming back but now we were all soo tired to do that. Angre laid Sejal down on one mattress and he also crashed himself on one of the couch saying "I'm too tired to take her upstairs". Hearing him Riddhama instantly said "Yaa me too. I'm hella tired.. Main toh khudko bhi upar nahi lay ja sakti...." She put Sejal on another mattress and she herself lay beside her on the same mattress.

Angre also slept on the couch. There were three mattress that were laid. One was occupied by sejal and other by Sejal and Riddhama. I was sitting whereas everyone else was sleeping. I glanced at them and went inside the bedroom and bought blankets for everyone and covered everyone. Then I also crashed myself on the remaining mattress and looked at the ceiling.

I was walking through a beautifully decorated lobby. It was decorated with white and pink flowers and was looking very beautiful. As I was walking, I glanced at my outfit. I was wearing baby pink colored sherwani and white dhoti. I looked soo happy. I fastened the button on my wrist as I was walking. I saw a big door, I went near it and opened it. As I Enter, I saw Riddhama, she was smiling. She looked soo beautiful in that Pink colored lehenga. The jewellery that she was wearing were making her shine. She looked no more than a goddess. And her big smile making my heart skip a beat. She was sitting in the mandap. I quickly started walking towards her. I stopped in my track as I saw a man sitting beside her. I couldn't see his face because his face was covered with a flower sehra.

I was only few meters away from the mandap but I couldn't move, I was freezed on the spot. I was hurt soo bad that a lone tear escaped my eye and after that more tears started flowing making my face wet. She looked at me but her expression didn't change, she was still smiling. It broke my heart.

What hurt more was, when the priest said "Abhi kanya ke maata pita kanyadan ke liye aage aaye" on hearing Mumma Papa came forward along with Maa baba and stand behind Riddhama. It broke my heart in millions of pieces.

After kanyadan, the guys lean forward to wear Riddhama mangalsutra. I was helpless in this situation but still I couldn't see her being someone else's. I muster up some courage and said "Noooo". That's when I woke up and instantly thanked God that it was just a dream. It's not like that this has not happened earlier. Whenever I drink, I always have this kind of dreams,seeing her with someone else.But every time I couldn't see the guy's face. One time I saw her dancing and then kissing a guy.And then other time, I saw her cuddling with the same faceless guy. Then I saw her standing in front of the mirror behind her was the guy and he was caressing her pregnant belly. And many more, I remember all of the dreams clearly. But one thing is common in them is that I am always present there  to witness everything. This was the other reason, I had quit drinking.

I saw her sleeping beside on the other mattress, seeing her my restless heart become calm. She was sleeping facing me and behind her Sejal slept hugging her. Sejal put her hand circling her waist. This is the first time I am jealous of Sejal. I lovingly caress her face on which she smiled in her sleep. I loved the way her body reacted to my touch. It gave me peace.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I'll try my best to not make her uncomfortable. Thinking this, I again fall asleep.

My sleep got disturbed by background noises. So, I woke up and sat rubbing my eyes. I heard Aryan saying "Bass 5 mins", on which Sejal replied "I am going to freshen up,wake up before I come back or else". "Ya ya, I got it" Aryan said. Hearing this Sejal went away. I was wondering where was Riddhama, that's when I saw her near the kitchen counter.

Aryan was still sleeping on the couch and Ishani was sitting on chair beside the couch. Ishani was sitting, her hands was on her knees and she was covering her face. She said "Mera saar dard se fata ja raha hai". Instantly Aryan in his half asleep state said "Toh tujhe kisne kaha tha itna peene ko". She remained silent. I smiled on their antics.

I got up and made my way towards the kitchen. I sat on one of the chair near the kitchen counter. Now I had the full view of her. Beside her Angre was making lemon water, I think he is making it for Ishani. That's when Sejal came and stand beside Riddhama. Sejal said "You should have waited for me so that we both could have prepared breakfast for everyone. Why didn't you wake me up?". Riddhama replied "You were drunk last night, so I thought to not disturb your sleep. And also I thought you would need something for your hangover". Hearing her Sejal instantly hugged her and said "I am blessed to have you babe... By the way what are you making?". "Anda bhurji and pav" she replied. Angre had already left to give Ishani lemon water. Aryan now was also fully woken up. Me, Ishani and Aryan all brushed our teeth and joined them on breakfast.

On the dining table, I was sitting in front of her beside her was Sejal and then Aryan. And beside me was Ishani and then Angre. Sejal taking first bite complemented Riddhama, she just smiled. I was busy eating that's when I heard Angre saying "Bhabhi, can you pass me the bread.." I instantly looked at her. She also looked at me and we had an eye contact for a second. Then she said "Sure" and passed him the bread loaf. After that she quietly ate her breakfast not even once looking up. And my stupid friends were soo busy in eating that they didn't notice anything. I think she got uncomfortable and I just mentally slapped myself.

Riddhama's pov :

Coming here, was not as easy I thought. Yesterday it's was late and I was hella tired, so directly slept. But when I woke up, I was lost in my thoughts. I woke up before everyone. So to stop overthinking, I needed to get myself busy. I changed into comfortable clothes, brushed my teeth and washed my face to make me fully awake. I checked time, it was 11 a.m and directly went in the kitchen and started chopping veggies. That's when I saw Angre has also woken up. Then he started waking Ishani up. In the process to wake Ishani up, he woke Sejal up. Then Angre came in the kitchen followed by Sejal. I cooked Anda Bhurji for everyone. They all freshen up and came to eat.

All were busy eating that's when "Bhabhi, can you pass me the bread" I heard Angre saying making me go red. I don't know why instead by getting uncomfortable, I'm blushing. It's been a while I've heard that word. Earlier I was soo used to hear Bhabhi, But after hearing it after soo mank day, I'm happy. I passed him the bread loaf and directly look down not wanting to face Vansh.

After breakfast, we listened to songs or you can also say we had a little karaoke session. After that we head towards the swimming pool. I didn't bother to change, whereas both the girls wore swimsuits. Both of them looking damn Hot... I was not at all comfortable wearing swimsuit. But Sejal, gave me her crop top and ordered me to wear it. Now I was wearing crop top and shorts, what a weird combination.

It's been more than half an hour since we came to the pool. I came out of the pool and sat on edge putting my legs inside the pool. I saw my friends enjoying in the pool.

After sometime, Sejal and Ishani went to click each other's pictures. I was not in the mood so I stayed by the pool. Aryan was hungry so he went to eat something from the kitchen. I don't know where was Angre, maybe he was inside. Only Vansh was in the pool. I got up and headed inside to take shower. I entered inside that's when I saw Angre. He came near me and said "Bhabhi oo sorry Riddhama.... Can you please keep the Vansh's towel near the pool." I nodded and he handing me the towel and went inside.

I went towards the pool and kept the towel on a chair. I was walking by the pool that's when my leg slipped and I fell into the water. I know swimming but at that time I couldn't think much. I started to panic. That's when I felt someone's hand around my waist and I immediately wrapped my legs around his waist and my hands directly went around his neck. I knew that he was Vansh. I opened my eyes and saw Vansh, our lips were just inches apart. He asked me "Are you Okay!!". On which I nodded and I immediately unwrapped my legs from his waist. He helped me stand up and even holding my hand helped me get out of the pool. Once I was outside the pool, I thanked him and turn to head inside. I felt something around my shoulder, I noticed it was towel, he draped it around me without saying anything. I glanced at him and went inside.

Vansh's pov :

I saw her falling in the pool, but what I saw next startled me. Instead of standing she was I guess panicking. Within few seconds I went near her and grabbed her waist pulling her up and the next minute she wrapped her legs around me. Our lips were inches apart. This proximity was making me insane. I had a sudden urge to kiss her but I somehow control it.

Earlier we were always in physical contact like holding hand, cuddling, hugging and many more but that's not the case rightnow. Now her mere touch makes me go insane, my heart starts beating heavily and sends sparks throughout my body.

I helped her getting out of the pool and she thanked me but why I just saved my life. She turned to leave, I saw her shivering so I wrapped towel around her. She glanced at me and went inside.

After taking shower and dressing up, I went down and saw Riddhama and Sejal sitting on the sofa watching a movie. I sat on the chair joining them. After few minutes the main door opened we all turned towards it and saw Kabir coming. He came and sat on the other chair. He has bought Pizza with him. Both the girls became happy seeing food. He handed them the box. Sejal called everyone else and we all ate together. All the things he bought was Riddhama's favorite, was it a coincidence or he purposely brought it..  I don't know.

Riddhama's pov :

At night, after having our dinner we set a bonfire in the garden and sat around it. I was sitting in between Sejal and Kabir. Opposite to me was Vansh beside him on one side was Ishani and Angre and on the other side was Aryan. Kabir has bought guitar with him. We insisted him to play something. He started singing.

Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
Bolo yeh zindgi hai
Koi to ho raajdaan
Be garaj tera ho yaar
Koi to ho raajdaaR
Yaaron mohabbat hi to bandgi hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
bolo yeh zindgi hai
Koi to dilbar ho yaar
Jisko tujhse ho pyaar
Koi to dilbar ho yaar

After he was finished singing we all started clapping. Vansh also said he is also going to sing. I was shocked,he only sang infront of me earlier. But I loved his confidence right now. He took the guitar and everyone went quite.

Jhuki teri palko mein
Mil jaaye mujhe panah
Palke ghire aansu bhari
Reh jaaye mere nishan

Tute dil ki mat kar
Tu fikar mere hamnawa
Pyaar du tujhko is kadar
Reh jaaye mere nishaan

M

ere nishaan.. mere nishaan
Mere nishaan.. mere nishaan
Mere nishaan.. mere nishaan
Mere nishaan.. aan..aaa

He was singing, I felt his gaze on me every now and then. But keeping everything aside, I was just enjoying his melodious voice.

Khak me mil jaau mein
Jeise ke ek lamha
Aa lag ja seene se
Ban ja mera rehnumaa

Dekhta hu sapne tere
Sun le meri jaane jaa
Khwaab ye sach ho jaae
Agar khuda ho meherbaan

Sajde me tere sar jhukta bass
Chahat ki hai ye daastaan
Rooth gaya mera rab jo mujhse
Toh mita de woh mere nishaan

M

ere nishaan.. mere nishaan

He finished and we all clapped for him as well. He was indeed soo good... After few more songs, we went inside. It was just 9:30 but it was feeling like 2 in the night. Entering inside Kabir called me and asked "Are you Okay!". I said "Yess" with a smile. Then he wished me Good night and left. I also went to sleep.
