Chapter 1
Tere sath Zindagi Bitani
Khwaish thi meri
Par Mujhe kya pata tha
Meri ye khwahish mere
Jazbatton ka hi qatl Kar degi
~Ankita Ghosh
(living my life with you was my wish but little did I know that my this wish will kill my emotions)
"Ridhu, what are you thinking?" Maya asked Ridhima who is sitting alone
"Nothing Maya, I was just thinking about my ill fate, today I saw Mehek with Rocky. They are dating I guess" Ridhima said, her eyes twinkling with undesirable emotions.
"Not yet but they will if you don't confess your feelings, yaar you love him for a long time. Why can't you just confess this to him? He won't eat you alive now will he?" Maya said in a dramatic way placing her hands on her hips.
"Maya you know I can't. He is my friend and I'm afraid my confession will cost our friendship" Ridhima whispered as her eyes went to stare at the ground.
"For how long you're going to hide? One day or another he will date someone else then what? You just can't cry over it then" Maya said softly this time, trying her best to console and advise her friend.
"I'm scared. I love him but--"
"No ifs no buts, you're going to tell him and today only" Maya cut off Ridhima in the middle.
Ridhima and Maya's parents were best friends thus knowing each other since childhood and became best friends henceforth.
Ridhima met Rocky in high school. He came from another city as his father got transferred. They are friends but Ridhima liked him from the day her eyes laid upon him. With time the liking developed in deep feelings.
Ridhima knows that she has no chance with him. He is so handsome and popular and she? Well, her skin tone is dark while having a chubby appearance. She is no match for him.
"Ohk fine I will tell him today but if he broke our friendship then I won't be able to control myself" Ridhima determined as she rose from her seat.
"That's like my girl, if he breaks friendship then it will be good for you only because he is a big distraction in your life. If he lets you go then you will be able to move on freely and if he agrees then congratulations in advance" Maya tried to assure her friend with positive thoughts.
Ridhima sighed and took deep breaths to calm herself. She decided to find Rocky and tell him finally.
She found him talking with Mehek.
"You can do this Ridhu," She told herself
"um, Rocky can we talk?" Ridhima asked him
Rocky gave her a questioning look.
"Yeah?" Rocky said but it sounded more like a question
"Mehek can you excuse us please" Ridhima requested Mehek at which she responded with a shrug before leaving to a nearby side.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" Rocky asked her a little bit impatiently
"Rocky I wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I was scared. Today I gathered the courage to tell you. I liked you from the first day we met in school. You're my friend but I like you more than a friend at first then with time my feelings developed for you. I love you, Rocky, I really do" Ridhima said in one breath.
She looked at Rocky to find him rooted at the spot, dumbstruck. His mouth was hanging in a shock.
After a good five minutes of silence, Rocky finally composed himself and said "Was it a Joke? If yes then it was the funniest joke ever"
His words brought a surge of pain in her heart. "It's not a joke Rocky. I'm serious"
"You can't be Ridhima. It just doesn't make sense. You and me? Love? No Ridhima no it's impossible. Have you ever looked at yourself? You're not worthy of my friendship. I'm with you because you're good at studies and do my work. How can you think that fat and ugly girl like you can be with me? I know you belong to a rich family but that doesn't change anything. Do you want to know who is worthy of my love?" Rocky gritted his teeth, disgust clearly evident in his eyes. It's like her mere presence disgusts him.
Ridhima's heart broke in pieces with his every word.
"Mehek come here" Rocky called her.
Mehek came there and he wrapped his hand around her waist.
"See, she deserves to be my girlfriend. She is beautiful and sexy just like the way I want my girl to be. She isn't shy or fat or an introvert like you. In this world, only beauty matters, Ridhima. Without it, love doesn't happen. Go and find someone who is ugly like you who will love a girl like you. "Rocky spat harshly and left Ridhima with her broken heart.
As soon as Rocky left, Maya came there. She was watching everything from the side.
"I'm sorry Ridhu, it's my fault that I pressured you to confess. Forgive me" Maya felt sorry for her bestie.
"No Maya it's not your fault. I needed it. The reality check that love does not exist without good looks. True love that people talk about is a lie. Rocky is right. Without looks and confidence, love can't happen" Ridhima said as she wiped her tears that are flowing continuously.
Maya didn't say anything because she knew her friend was hurt very much. She needs time to adjust.
After reaching her home Ridhima went straight to her room ignoring her mother who is worried about her. She is aware of her daughter's feelings but she isn’t sure about whom she loves.
She knocked on her door but Ridhima didn't open it.
"Ridhu beta, open the door," her mother said
"Mom please go away I don't want to talk about anything" Ridhima replied
"Ridhima Khanna opens the door before I call your dad and you know he will ask a good explanation about this stunt" Her mother threatened her.
Ridhima huffs in anger and opens the door. Her mother came inside and saw Ridhima's red and puffy eyes.
"What happened Ridhu? Tell me what is bothering my princess" Her mother said sitting beside Ridhima
"Why am I not a beautiful mom? Why am I like this? You know mom you're wrong. True love that doesn't bother for beauty or perfection does not exist. Only perfection and beauty matters" Ridhima said as more tears slipped from her eyes
Her mother understood that something concerning her love life has happened.
"Ridhu, I didn't lie to you about love that doesn't care about perfection or beauty. When love happens nothing matters if your partner is perfect or not. Let me tell you a story then you will get what true love is" Her mother said
Chapter 2NOTE: It's the story Ridhima's mother is telling her so it has nothing to do with Ridhima.Being the singing sensation of India, Rudraksha and Randhawa, the name is enough for anyone to go crazy. People of every age are a fan of his melodious voice..."Sir, you have a show in half an hour." His PA Natasha informed him."Yes Natasha I know, give me some time" Rudra replied nonchalantly.Natasha nodded before leaving him alone. Rudra sighed and thought about the upcoming meeting with his father. His father is really angry with him. It has been 7 days since he last met him or went to his home for that matter.His father Mr. Pratap Randhawa is a very strict and orthodox man. He doesn't like his son's carelessness. He hates the fact that his son is a singer instead of being a well-known businessman. Pratap Randhawa has always dreamt that one day his only son will tak
Chapter 3It's the day when Rudraksha is about to get engaged with Sikha.He was least interested in it. He was only doing it as a duty but for Sikha it's anything but Duty. She is on cloud nine and why won't she? After all, she is getting married to the person she secretly loves and admires.Sikha is Pratap's best friend's daughter so she was associated with Rudra's family from her childhood. She always noticed Rudra whenever she was in the same place with him but Rudra never paid any attention to her. He always seemed too lost in his own dreamland.Sikha didn't mind it as she knew Rudra doesn't like to be with girls or in any relationship for that matter.And when her father told her that he is planning to get her married with Rudra her joy knew no bounds. It was a dream come true for her.She is getting ready in a peach colour lehenga for her engagement. Be
Chapter 4"So Rudra How's your work going?" His uncle, Ram, asked him"It's going good uncle, just need a little break from everything but still I have few shootings here" Rudra replied while sipping his juice."Bhai will you go with me to the orphanage?" Saumya asked him"Hmm, I will. I was thinking about the same. You said it before I could." Rudra smiled"All children will go mad when they will see the Great Rudraksha Randhawa. You know they all are your fans, they love you very much. I'm only waiting to see their reaction" Saumya replied happily.After their breakfast, they left for the orphanage run by Rudra. Thanks to his busy schedule, Rudra didn't get time to visit it at least once in like 5 years."Bhai wait. Stop the car, we need to take chocolates for them" Saumya said"I already had it with me as I said I was planning on
Chapter 5From now on whenever Durva is saying something it's in sign language as she can't talk. I won't mention it all the time.Durva looked at Rudra and her smile vanished. She slowly came towards them and bid hello to Saumya."Durva as you know his identity, Rudraksha Randhawa my brother and he understands sign language." Saumya said"Hi, you have a unique name Durva" Rudra said hesitatingly"Thanks" Durva replied"I heard many things about you from Saumya. I'm really impressed by your selflessness." Rudra said admiring her will to help children."It's not my selflessness. I love this kid, that's why I spend time with them." Durva replied"Saumya can you bring some things from the car I have left it on the back seat" Rudra saidSaumya nodded and left them alone."Durva I'm really sorry for what I said that time
Chapter 6Rudra is not happy with the arrangement of him getting married early. He is trying to accept the fact that he was getting married to her anyway, no matter the time. Two months or one month doesn't matter."Bhai what happened? You're looking stressed" Saumya asked"My wedding is postponed. I don't want it yaar" Rudra said"And why is that?" Saumya asked"Because I don't love Sikha this marriage is a burden on me and" Rudra stopped in the middle. He himself isn't aware why he is behaving like this."Bhai why don't you go and meet Durva and the kids? After all, you will leave soon" Saumya suggested. Rudra didn't like the idea of leaving. He doesn't want to leave from here and he isn’t aware of the reason why?"What will I say to her? That I'm going away because of my wedding?" Rudra asked"It's the truth isn't it?" Saumya asked hi
Chapter 7Koi baat nahi agarIshq meri qubool nahi tujhkoPar mere ishq kiTauheen na karnaKehke meri Bhul isko~Ankita Ghosh(it's fine if you don't accept my love but don't insult it calling my mistake)"You what Bhai? Like her? Or love her?" Saumya asked him making his eyes widen"What? Have you lost your mind? Me and love her?" Rudra said like saumya cracked a joke but from inside he knows what he feels for her."Then why did it affect you if she is dating someone or not? She has a life and she will also live her life isn't it?" Saumya’s retort made Rudra shut his mouth. He has no answer to her question."Bhai you know I can read people at least the one whom I knew and loved. You're denying your feelings. Don't do anything that will ruin three lives." Saumya saidAnd it's like he remembered that he is getting marri
Chapter 8"Then I'm giving you freedom Rudra. Go back to her." Sikha said, making him a shock.Rudra can't believe his ears. He knows that Sikha is a type of girl who doesn't like to share her things or leave them. How can she leave him this easily?"If you're joking then let me tell you it's a very vulgar joke" Rudra said"And why do you think that I'm joking? I know that it's difficult for you to believe me but I'm saying the truth. I will talk to our parents about this. They won't make any fuss. You can marry Durva whom you love" Sikha said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes"Thank you so much sikha, for understanding me and my love. You don't know what you did for me. I can't wait to introduce you to Durva. I'm sure you will like her as well." Rudra said with enthusiasmAfter sometime, Sikha left for her home. She didn't cry anymore. She went to her room
Chapter 1"Hey Vidushi, what are you doing here alone?" Ananya asked"Nothing just sitting here and cursing that cheater" Vidushi replied with a faint sneer playing on her lips."Huh? What does it mean?" Ananya asked"That jerk Rohan cheated on me, with that bloody Rita" Vidushi gritted out with clenched teeth."Ohh, I told you to not believe him. He is after all a play boy and just can't keep his dick inside his pants" Ananya said shrugging, knowing too well about the 'character' of Rohan."Yeah I now understand it better. Actually you know, it's good that he cheated on me. I was going to break up with him anyway. He isn't my type. I already lost my faith from love long ago. Don't know why but I never believed in it." Vidushi said"Vidushi why don't you believe in love? See I'm so happy with Virat. We are so much in love" Ananya said with dreamy eyes as if recallin
