A month passed in a blink of an eye. With  time they both were coming close. Now Riddhama comfortably would make plans for stay over or movie nights. They were again back like they always used to be.

Valentine's week started, Today was Rose day. Riddhama woke up and the first thing she saw was a beautiful Rose, which was placed on a table near the bed. She wake up and sat on the edge taking the rose in her hand and smiled. Her gaze went to the table near the window and she was amused to see bunch of Roses were placed on it. She went there and took the bunch in her hand and inhale the scent. On the other hand Vansh was standing near his window. He wake up early just to see her reaction. When she took the bouquet in her hand and smiled, a small smile also curved on his face. She noticed his presence and looked at him. They both had a small eye contact.

Riddhama got freshen up and went downstairs to have her breakfast. She sat opposite to her Mumma and served herself some sandwiches. That's when Vansh came there and hugged her mother from behind and gave a kiss on her cheek. He said "Good Morning Mumma. And this is for you." He forwarded his hand and gave a bouquet of roses to her Mumma. And said "This is to the one of the most beautiful women that I know". Her Mumma took it in her hand and said "Thankyou beta, but kisiko bura nahi lagega" and looked at Riddhama. Riddhama understood her Mumma is teasing her so she also faked and glared at her Mumma saying "Mumma". Vansh jumped in between and again tease Riddhama saying "Kisiko bura na lage isliye uske liye bhi rose laya hu". She glared at him and he went near her and gave a rose to her which she accepted but then she slapped on his arm playfully on which he winced "Ouuuch" and replied "ye mujhe tang karne ke liye". Vansh also joined them for breakfast. After that the both left together for their college.

After lunch break classes were off, so Riddhama and Siya went to there Library to study. She informed Vansh that after her work is done she will give him a call  then they both will head home.

After the work was done, both the girls were packing there bag. Siya got a call, she picked up and then said "I'm coming in a minute". She hurriedly shoved her things in her bag and turned towards Riddhama and said "Arjun(Siya's husband) is waiting for me outside, see you tomorrow, Bye" and went from there. Riddhama smiled at her silly friend. Riddhama adores the couple so much. She packed her this and went outside.

Riddhama was walking that's when she bumped with someone. She was about to fall that's when Namish grabbed her arm and help her from falling. She maintained her balance and he left her saying "Sorry". She instantly said "No need to say sorry, I also didn't saw you." She was about to go from there that's when Namish called her and said "Riddhama actually I was searching
for you only". Riddhama said "Me, Why? I mean do you need anything?" He said "No Riddhama, I don't need anything. I just wanted to give this to you". He forwarded his hand which hand small bunch of roses which she didn't notice earlier. She looked at the roses then at him. She give him a fake smile and said "Thankyou for this but I can't accept it.." "But why?" He questioned her. She answered saying "I don't know but I can't accept it, Sorry!". "Riddhama We are friends right?" He asked her. "Yes" She replied. "Then why can't you accept these flowers from me?" He asked. "It's not like that Namish,it's just" cutting her in between he said "That's okay, I understand" he made a very sad face and continued saying "Today was a very bad day. You could have made me little happy by accepting these flowers but it's okay". He turned to leave, Riddhama being Riddhama can't see anyone sad or unhappy around her, So she immediately said "wait, Okay give me these flowers" and gazed at him. He was amuzed and his instant reply was "What, really?". "Yes" she said with a small smile. He handed her the flowers he happily played with his hair with one hand and said "Riddhama Thankyou for accepting these flowers, it really made me happy". She smiled and said "Thankyou to you too for this flowers". She left from there. She didn't notice vansh who came there to take her home. He didn't listen the full conversation. When she accepted from that time he heard the conversation. He saw her leave. When she was out of sight, he purposely bumped into Namish. Namish balanced himself and said "I didn't saw you, Sorry bro!". "You should be" he murmured and left from there leaving confused Namish behind.

Riddhama messaged Vansh and said "I'll be waiting for you at the parking, come fast". That's when Vansh also came there. He slowly walk up to her. He saw the flowers and the possessive vansh inside of him awakened. He was fuming in anger but didn't show it on his face. He snatched the flowers from her hand and playfully said "It is for me right, Thankyou" and gave her a small smile. She instantly said "No, I mean Yes you can keep it." She didn't want to upset him so she said yes. She also gave him a smile. After that they left.

After coming home, She got herself busy by making cupcakes. She also wanted to give him Roses but she was feeling too shy for that so she thought and an idea striked her mind. Her idea was to make cupcakes and decorate it like a rose by red colored whipped buttercream. She finished making and decorating. She took a tray full of cupcakes to his house.

He was sitting in the living room watching Television. He saw her coming. She gave him a look and went directly to the kitchen. He also followed her behind. She placed the tray on the kitchen counter. She gave a cupcake to her Maa and also to Vansh. He saw the cupcake and smiled. Vansh knew this was her way to give him rose. Even though the decorated Roses were not perfect but still he was very happy and proud of her.

During the Valentine's week, Everyday Vansh used to keep flowers in her room. When she use to wake up, the first thing she used to saw was Rose.

Day  before Valentine's day :

Riddhama was on a video call with Sejal. In between there talks, Sejal suddenly shouted saying "Whatttt!!! Are you serious?". Riddhama replied "Yes". Sejal immediately said "I still can't believe, you Riddhima are going to propose Vansh". On which Riddhama nodded her head. Sejal god really happy and again said " I knew it babe that you both will sort things out and will be back together... I also knew that you both can't stay away from each other for a long. I am really happy for both of you." Sejal took a pause and again asked "How are you gonna propose him?". Riddhama answered her saying "I haven't planned anything. Tomorrow Me and Siya will be going to mall. I am going to pick up a gift and flowers for him and them I will take him to a certain place which I have not decided yet. So I will think of the place today only. I will take him there and I'll say the things which my heart want to tell him that's all." "All the best for  Riddhama, I know after hearing your feelings Vansh will be on cloud nine and will be hoping that this isn't a dream." Sejal laughed saying this. On the other side Riddhama also smiled. Both talk for few more minutes and then hanged up.

Next day (Valentine's day) :

Riddhama woke up early and did her morning business. Then she headed downstairs and helped her mumma for preparing breakfast. Then she made chai for everyone. She went to give chai to her Maa and Baba also. Vansh was already present when she went there. Since Morning she had a smile on her face. Riddhama gave Vansh a smile. Vansh knew this smile was different but he didn't gave that much attention to it.

After finishing breakfast Vansh said Riddhama "Let's go, I wanna go to college early today." She instantly replied "Me and Siya will be heading to mall first then we'll come to college". Vansh nodded. "How are you going to the mall, Is Siya going to pick you up?" He asked her. "I'll be going by cab" She answered. Vansh immediately said "No need to go by cab, I'll drop you". She nodded. She finished her breakfast and they both left for their respective destination.

After shopping both Riddhama and Siya left for their college. Outside college Riddhama saw a flower shop and went there and fetched a beautiful bouquet. Meanwhile Siya got a call from her husband telling her that in 10 mins he will be there to pick her. Riddhama went near Siya. Siya told her about her sudden plan about going home. Riddhama bid bye to Siya and with a smile face went inside.

Entered in the college premises she message Vansh saying "I wanna tell you something. After you're done with your work. Meet me at the parking."

Riddhama was about to enter her department she heard someone calling her. And she immediately knew who it was. He was again Namish. From past few days she is ignoring him. She try her best to avoid him as much as possible. Because from past few days he is giving too much attention to her which she is unable to digest. She is not at all fond of attention. She always want to stay away from limelight. That's why she try to ignore him as much as possible. With a fake smile on her face she turned back. Namish told her "Our lecture are off for today." She said "Oo, thanks for telling me. Okay then bye!". He immediately said "Wait". She stopped and he took a pause before continuing and said "Is something cooking/going on between You and Raishinghania." She without any hesitation said "Yes, but why are you asking me." His face falls and again he said "If it is yes then it's okay. If it was no then there would have been problem." She questioned him "What problem can you please clarify?" He answered "Yesterday Vansh messaged all of our classmates telling them to meet him before college. So we all gathered in Canteen before lecture. He then warned each and everyone from our batch and told everyone to stay away from you. He also told everyone that you both are together." Hearing everything Riddhama was shocked, she don't know what to feel. She was Angry,  Sad, Disappointed and even Ashamed. She hmmmm in a response and walked away with a heavy heart.

Going towards parking she was convincing herself that What Vansh did was Okay, Ignore everything and tell him about your feelings. Keeping everything aside she again gathered all the courage which she lost hearing Namish.

Walking towards Parking, Riddhama bumped with someone. That someone was Kabir. The bouquet which was on her hand fell down. He helped her to pick it up and gave it to her. She thanked him. He asked her "Where were you lost Riddhu?" She answered "it's nothing." He said " You know Riddhama, there is a girl whom , I won't say that I Love her because loving someone is a big thing. I like her alot, not from today or yesterday. But from the first time I saw her. She don't know anything about my feelings. I always wanted to tell her but didn't got a chance" "What are you waiting for Go and tell her... By the way who is she" Riddhama asked.

"It's you Riddhama, I LIKE YOU!!!" He said.
