Riddhima's POV:

After finding out that a person that I considered to be my good friend is a murderer, I am still in his car sitting in the passenger seat, wearing the dress he got for me and going god knows where with him.

I turn to look at vansh who is focused on driving the car and I can see a hint of smile on his face. He goes on murdering peoples and he have the fucking audacity to smile? I feel disgusted at the sight of him.

I sometimes hate myself for being so weak. I should have reported him to the police but I don't even have any proof. I should call him out and tell him how horrible of a person he is but I am afraid he will harm me as well.

My chain of thought gets broken when the car finally stops. I look outside from the window to see where we are. He parks in front of a café. I gets out of the car and come to the other side probably to open my door but I open it before he can reach the other side. I get out of the car.

"Let's go inside. I had to tell you something important so I bought you at this cafe. It's very peaceful here." He says looking at me who is still processing the words I heard a few hours ago about him murdering thousands of people.

I nod and we go inside. I sit on a couch in the corner of the cafe while he goes to place an order for coffee. He comes and in front me.

"Riddhima, I have been waiting to tell you something about us. I don't know if you remember it or not but" he takes his hand to his neck and takes out a necklace which was behind his shirt.

And the moment I saw what he was holding in his hand, my jaw dropped.
My mind literally went black.

" What--- why do you have that and why are you--- you showing that to me?" I shuttered.

He the unfolds the half-heart necklace and show me the picture of me and my childhood friend. I couldn't process anything I was seeing. Is he the one I have been waiting for all these years? Is he that friend of mine who was so kind like an angel? That possibly can't be true. He can never even hurt a fly. But this man Infront of me has claimed to kill hundreds of peoples. Did he killed my friend and snatched the locket from him?

" Riddhima, I expected you to be happy to find me. Are you not happy to see your long list friend? It's me, Riddhima. The one who used to play with you all the time. The one who promised you to find you in the future and live with you forever." He chuckled.

I was lost at words. " No, that can't be true. There is no way. My friend isn't a monster like you. He is not a fucking criminal like you. How did you get this locket and know about our stories? What will you gain by lying to me? Don't tell me he is one of the hundreds of people you killed." I shouted at him with tears in my eyes.

His face lost all its colour after hearing my words. His eyes showed sadness which was filled with excitement a moment ago. " What are you saying? How do you know those things about me?" He says will a hint of guilt in his tone.

" Riddhima, I can explain. What you think isn't entirely true. Let me explain." He continues.

I am well aware that no one remembers my story as I am updating after a whole 3 years. But I just wanted to write something and here I am.😌
