 "Then what will you do RiddhimaGupta?", Riddhima turned back immediately and realized he waslistening everything!!!


"Papa, Riddhima called him with full of love and ran bare feet to hug himtightly as she was not alive yet, and wants to get back a life.

Dr. Shashank stopped her in between by showing a palm, "Stop! Don't you darecome to me again, he looked to the floor as if his eyes have been lowered byhis pride, "Waise bhi, you have insulted me a lot and forgotten the right tohug

A lone tear fell down through her eyes, "Papa!!

"Don't call me papa, you have lost the right to call me that, he retorted backand tears rolled down from his cheeks as well, as if he was saying this withutter pain.

"Par maine aisa kiya kya hai papa, atleast tell me my crime, she asked inutter pain.

Dr. Shashank took a deep breath, "phew! Aap Armaan ko kyu dhundhna chahti haiDr. Gupta

"Kyuki..., but with this she was speechless, but Dr Shashank continued, "agarkoi jawab nahi hai to aage se aap koshish bhi nahi karengi aur apne pati kesath badtameezi agar aapne ki hai to yaad rakhiye..., he screamed finally, "Iwould never pardon that

Riddhima left with no answer when Dr. Shashank stopped and Sid called from theback, "Papa aap yaha, and smiled.

Sid has just left from the hospital being oblivious of the fact that Dr.Shashank knew everything. He knew because the watchman has spotted Riddhimawhile searching Armaan and Shilpas' official files to get aware of the factwhere they are, but Riddhima took it differently, she thought that Sid hasnarrated all this to her dad, which she cannot pardon.

Shashank who didn't want to inform about the conversation Riddhima and him had,so he wipe his tears and controlled his anger, "Haan wo, i was passing fromnearby so i thought to give a visit

"You are always welcome, aap hi ka hi to ghar..., but she stopped when his eyes fell on Riddhima's tears, "Riddhima you arecrying?

"Oh papa has visited after very long na, enjoy the papa beti segment and let mearrange for the refreshments, and immediately he left for the kitchen andRiddhima kept taking it wrong.

But Shashank stopped him, "No thats fine, i have met both of you, now shouldleave. Padma wait kar rahi hogi, he gave a fake smile.

"Okay, as you wish, Riddhima replied curtly and with that Dr. Shashank left.

SanjeevaniMussoorie,

Fireescape,

Kashaf gave Shilpa a tight hug and shilpamurmured, "Is baar wo toot jaega...aur uske sath main bhi"

"Shh!! Everything will be fine, Kashaf consoled her caressing her back andlook at the skies to wish good about the future.

Shilpa parted back and held Kashaf's palm,"Promise me, ki tu... tu meri uske lie abhi bhi feelings hai is bare mein use kabhi nahibatayegi. Promise me. 

"But why? After all he knows everything", Kashaf become confused.

"Because he treats me as friend and main chahti hoon ki ab woh wahi samjhe", Shilpa blurted out with heavy heart.

After so many ifs and buts Kashaf agreed withheavy heart.

NextDay,

"Huh! Now she cannot contact me, whilechanging the SIM card of the cell phone, Armaan took a deep breath.

"Phones are not allowed in the hospital, a voice reached to the Armaan's earsand he looked besides, and found the beautiful Shilpa in a simple blue suit wasstanding nearby.

Armaan answered, "Just changing the SIM card

"Why are you changing your SIM card, she purposely asked while rubbing herpalms as she wanted to know whether he tell the truth or not.

He was admiring her deep ocean blue eyes when she asked so he sheepishlyreplied, "aise hi

Shilpa's smile shrink because he didn't tell her the truth but hide it, for asecond she wanted misunderstand him but after a minute she thought that if heis hiding then there may be some reason, a valid reason.

"Armaan!!, she called him but he didn't replied back as he was lost in hereyes.

"Armaan!!, she shrugged him by shoulder and he recollected the words, "huh!Haan

"kuch kaha tumne?, he excused and looked here and there.

Shilpa pressed her lips and handover a fileto him, "Daddu was requesting a lot, so i discharged him and..., she was cutin between by him who was excited, "really, but immediately stopped whenrealized she has stopped too.

"Well...waise bhi ghar me jyada jaldi thik honge, she exchanged a sarcasticsmile when she left by saying, "Sis. Martha ke bina bhi..., at which Armaanlaughed aloud.


A week later,

Days were passing and Armaan-Shilpa wascoming closer to each other as well, even more. In the happiness of eachother's company they have forgotten the danger of Riddhima's phone calls which havebeen stopped. The good news of, Kashaf and Zaroons' nikah came as a cherry onthe cake at the same time, so everyone was very excited, especially Armaan andShilpa, the best friends of, the too be married couple.

Some feelings were blooming in Armaan's heartwith which he has started introducing. He didn't know what it was but yes if hestarted realizing that it was related to Shilpa. He gradually started noticingher beauty, her smile and her simplicity. On the other side, Shilpa who hasdecided to forget to not think about Armaan has started losing in the battle ofher love. She too started realizing that Riddhima was a past and can never comeback, but thinking of herself as a present was not even in her hand. Basicallyshe was living in a dilemma, both of them were living in different feelings ofLove, but feelings and emotions respond back, because they never die, they takebreath somewhere in the heart, so as the situation was same.

Inthe morning @ 7am,

Armaan was jogging around the Kasauli bazaarand fetch some fresh cherries and finally reached to the Little Angel'sorphanage, he handed over the cherry basket to the warden and fetch a handfulcherries for Shilpa.

"Hey Shilpa! Cherries?, he asked but she didn't turned her back as she was dryingher wet hairs .

"No Armaan tum kha lo, I'm busy, she repliedbeing busy.

Armaan rolled his eyes, "ek to main tumharelie, i mean bacchon ke lie cherries laya and you aren't ready to taste, helied white.

He forcefully makes her turn around and sheaccidently fell on him and with the jerk he too destined the grass ground. The longblack wet hair of Shilpa's were covered his face due to the wetness, so he immediatelyturned around and now Shilpa was under Armaan's body. Armaan couldn't took hiseyes off her, there was something new in those red rosy cheeks, they werenatural, no makeup has been painted on them but still they were looking evenmore red than those cherries. A satisfactory and peaceful smile automaticallycreep on his face and she kept gulping the saliva down her throat as her eyeswere on him and was living with fear that he shouldn't see something that she possesfor him in his heart and feelings, after all feelings and love never die,neither with live nor after it. They are immortal.

The children of the orphanage who noticed thiscame into the mischievous mood as always and started showering the water fromthe pipe, which took both of them into senses and Shilpa pushed Armaan, "Pagalbaccho! Kuch logo ke sath rehke unke ideas bhi adopt kar liye, she taunted Armaan.

"What do you mean by kuch logo, say directlywhat do you want to?, Armaan came into the challenge mood being unaware thatchildren were constantly showering the water.

"Oh hello! Mere baalo ki halat dekhi haitumne aaj hi dhoye the aura b dekho, she showed her wet hairs which were noweven more wet.

"Hey hero! Stop showering yaar, ek to teriShona di waise hi baras rahi hai aur tu pani bhi barsale, Armaan whispered inthe boy's ear, which Shilpa pretended as she has heard.

"Kya bola tumne, Shilpa asked and continued,"And you Sahil stop this shower now, she screamed being frustrated.

"Yahi ke jhadu jaise baal hai tumhare, hecommented at which her mouth opened in a perfect O shape.

Armaan pressed his lips, "why are youshouting at the child bechara!

"Kahe ka bechara ye shaitaniya tumne hisikhaya Dr. Mallik, she stared him and immediately snatch the water pipe fromSahil's hand and started showering on him, "Now bear with this, she showed himtongue and started showering the water on him, "kya bola jhadu jaise baal haimere?, she started irritating him but still even he didn't know was heenjoying it.

But it remain Shilpa oblivious and surprisedmore, so she threw pipe on the ground and started drying her hairs again, afterswitching off the tap.

He hairs were flying in the cold breeze ofthe atmosphere and warmth of the dryer but he was feeling as the water dropswhich were flowing from her face were kissing him, not her.
