Riddhima walked into the room, the house help came behind her.Sana took the plate from her and walked in the room. She kept the plate on the table and turned to Riddhima.

" Ma'am call me if you need something else." Sana started to walk out when Riddhima stopped her.

"Sana...will you please remove this immobilizer.."

" yes maam sure".

Sana removed her immobilizer and walked out .

Riddhima went up to the door and closed it behind her. She released the forced smile she was carrying since morning. She turned back and looked at the food kept.

"What is the use of eating you..........you know dead don't need food ,i am the one at heart."

She took the seat and closed her eyes.

This morning when she woke she decided it....... no more in this cage of fear, of torture , in fear of pain................ she will release herself today. She had tried her best , her best to smile at Vansh and make him believe that she was fine, she did her best to hold herself and not fall into hallucinations but ............no use.

She had tears in her eyes when Vansh had asked her to leave, yet her heart was at peace that atleast now she would not have that guilt of betrayel. She walked down the road and a figure came ......... closed her mouth and smashed her into a car ,she fell unconscious and when she woke up it was some room and she was tied with a chair. She shouted for help in that dark room but no one came. She screamed in fear, she screamed in pain but no one came . Then he arrived ....... Kabir he grabbed her neck until she choked in need of breath . How much she begged him to leave her, how much she cried, how much.........

When he burned her hands she shrieked.......it was paining...it was paining so much.........

Her shoulder feels lifeless now and looking at those marks everyday it feels she has to go through that pain again everyday......no....

" i can't........ i can't take it anymore........."

" Come on baby............ i won't let you die so easily...........i will make you suffer, you will yell, cry .....but no one will save you, you have betrayed me ......"

" Kabir you..........."

" yeah me.......missed me .... how sweet .....see i have brought you a gift", and he took out the blooded knife and walked towards her.

She opened her eyes. She took a look around , one more hallucination..............these are surely going to take her life one day. She took a deep breath and wipped off her tear.

"Now ......... i will be free kabir" she smiled to herself" you would never be able to reach me again , now i would be free......."

She looked around the room and went near the family photo." I am sorry Vansh , i am........." she broke into tears" i love you .....and will always do , but now this pain.....it won't let me live....... see.." she pointed towards her heart" it pains........ i feel so ...... so....... lifeless vansh".

She felled down," i feel so lifeless".

" i am sorry dadi,i am just sorry........................ I couldn't give you all any happiness and now you all have to carry a burden because of me.....I...I ..."

She stood up and went to table and took out the medicine ,she opened the packet and took out the bottle. She went to the dustbin and threw the rapper in the same way she had thrown the morning break fast....

She came back and got seated , they say all our life replays before you ,when your end comes. She was reminded of everything Vansh.............. dadi, Ishani and her taunts , the family, Sana, there tries to make her smile................ just everything then she remembered this morning, she wanted to see him for a last time ,last time before ...........

A tear escaped her eye ,now she will never be able to meet him again. She wipped the tear off and looked at the bottle..........

As Sana came out of Riddhima's room angre called her ,

"Sana there is an important work we need you here, please come to the office soon"

" yes sir ,i am coming." she left for the office as she reached the office, angre came," Sana there is meeting and i have to leave for the agency , please accompany bhai"

" Sure sir...... you leave without any worry"

Angre left and Sana waited for Vansh .

"Sana you are here ..........."

" yes boss Angre sir was busy so i came"

" ok... but i would have managed, you must have stayed with Riddhima......now its fine how is she?"

" she......is .......fine, but why you asking me you just met her no..."

" what......... i ........met her this morning "

"In the morning........

........but she just came to met you a while ago "

" no ................. sana what are you talking, i am busy in meetings since morning..."

" but she said she had meet you "

" but why she came here......was there any problem"

"she said ,she wanted to ask you about your eye pain ,so she came here"

" What are you talking Sana which eye pain , i don't have any"

There was a bewildered expression on Sana's face, she told him what all happened in the past hour.

"I don't have any strain then what medicines....................................."

They both looked at each other, horror covered there eyes.

"oh.......... no............."

Vansh ran outside to the car and the car rushed towards the mansion.
