10-year-old Riddhima was not yet old enough to make her own decisions. But the answer was given by Shashank. He held Riddhima's hand and said, "No. My daughter will not go anywhere."
Suvarna said angrily, "Let Riddhima take the decision."
And Riddhima said loudly, "Mom, I will stay with Dad. I will not leave him and go anywhere."Suvarna looks at her and says, "Look Riddhima, if there is no wealth in this world, there is no power in this world. You will have to suffer a lot because this human can never achieve much!"
Holding her dad's hands tightly, Riddhima said, "No Mom, Dad is everything to me. I don't want anything else."
The wall clock rang as it was 11 o'clock. And then the door of the room opened which was locked from outside.The girl who had brought her here, said very politely, "Ma'am, is there anything you need?"Riddhima shook her head and asked, "What is your name?"
"Shanta."Shanta smiled softly and then said, "Sir has told me to take special care of you. Until he comes, if you need anything, you can call me, this is my number. Anyway, I will come after some time and ask you myself." Riddhima nodded but scoffed internally.'Until Sir arrives, special care should be taken of her', because tonight, the duty of entertaining Sir is hers. Sir should be pleased!' she thought.'What had Varun said? "Riddhima darling, you have to please this man! I have to win a big tender. Now my honor is in your hands babe." 'Riddhima heard Shanta's voice with small pauses in between, "By the way madam, can I say one thing? You are gorgeous. Just like a princess."After Shanta left, Riddhima stood in front of the length mirror. She laughed hysterically, remembering Shanta's words. She scoffed, "Huh. Being beautiful is the biggest trouble a girl can get into; how can that girl even know? Beauty is the worst pathway of a woman's destruction."She looked at herself in the mirror. No. She must not be happy to see herself.
"Just remember that your customer should be pleased after seeing it."She applied her makeup. She was wearing a mini skirt, opening two buttons above the hem of her shirt.She laughed at her actions. Now she looked perfect.To seduce a man.To catch the prey.But isn't she being hunted down? The hunter gets what he wants. So, then she is the prey, and the customer hunts her. But the real hunters are people like Varun who trap these big people by making Riddhima their prey.No!She can't think anything about this right now. Even thinking about these things can make her mood off and she can make a mistake in pleasing her customer. To divert her attention, Riddhima went to the window again and tried to search the sky. But she started laughing at her attempt.Her sky was already lost a long time ago. Now no matter how hard she tries; she won't be able to find it again.She closed her eyes while standing there.She whispered, "Why is this man taking so long to come? Before this, others used to be ready in their suites." The only wait was for Riddhima to walk in and the door to be closed. Then they would pounce upon her like a hungry wolf.Suddenly, the siren of an ambulance pierced the silence of the night and passed through the streets of Mumbai. Riddhima's soul trembled. How could she forget the siren of the ambulance?Once an ambulance had arrived, to take away Dad.
He loved Riddhima more than his life, and because of her, he had even sacrificed his life. Only for the sake of his vow?To know more about the vow, continue reading!
