RECAP:

            Problems in sanjeevani of goa.Ridz gets an opportunity to dance in goa.AA,AR,RM & kids all leave for goa.

PART 10:

       After 2 days everyone leaves for goa.Ridz is alongwith with her tour members i.e. other girls who all are invited for the audition.The hotel has arranged flight tickets for all of them as the inaugaration doesnt have much days left & right after that they want to keep the show which is for charity & will give publicity & good response to the hotel.Hence all the girls go in plane ofcourse in the economic class.Ridz is sitting with jr.armaan in his lap in the plane.From armaans family one ticket was for economic class right besides riddhimas seat.It was anjie's ticket so she went to sit in economic class.Ridz was handling jr.armaan who was very excited to sit in plane & that too in a window seat.He was looking at clouds & blabbering something in his own language.He was again & again jumping in ridz lap & clapping his hands.Anjie couldnt help but smile at the cute child.She hadnt seen his face yet since he was facing the opposite side looking out of window.Ridz smiled looking at her.

An:  aur tumhaare husband????

Ri(lowering her eyes):  jee woh....nahi hai....

An:  oh i'm again sorry...kaisi hui unki maut????

Ridz startled at her question.She dint mean this.She meant he is not with them but anjie took it other way.

Ri:  woh ek haadsa tha..(changing the topic)...aapke parivaar mein kaun kaun hai????

An: mere parivaar mein mere saas-sasur hain....woh doctors hai....mere pitaaji bhi doctor hai.....meri maa bhi doctor thi....

Ri:  thi???

An:  haan jab mein aath saal ki thi unka dehaant ho gayaa.....

Ri:  i'm sorry

An:  its ok....mere pati ka naam atul hai....woh bhi doctor hai.....mere jeth-jethani ka naam hai rahul-muskaan....woh bhi.....

Ri(smiling & completing):  doctors hai....

Anjie looks at her & smiles.

Ri:  wow aapke parivaar mein sab doctors hi hai....

An:  haan aur sab ek hi hospital mein hai.....bahut mazaa aata hai...sanjeevani mein rehte hai to bhi yahi lagta hai ki ghar par hi hai....sab milkar kaam karte hai.....

Ri:  sanjeevani....arrey issi hospital mein toh meri delivery hui thi 3 saal pehle......

An:  kya baat kar rahi ho????ye toh humaara hospital hain.....par main tumhe jaanti kaisi nahi???main apne hospital ke har patient ko jaanti hu.....tumhaari delivery kab hui????

Ri:  30th october,2005....

Just then jr.armaan again starts jumping excitedly.Ridz turns him to face towards her & tells him not to do masti.But he keeps doing masti in her lap.Anjie looks at him & smiles.Just then their eyes meet & anjie again gets excited.

An:  oh my god....this is impossible....

Ri:  kya hua???

An:  yeh to bilkul mere devar jaisa dikhta hai....wahi aankhen,wahi baal aur usse bhi bilkul yahi par dimples padte hai....i dont believe this.....jab tum usse milogi na tab tumhe pataa chalega ki yeh dono kitne ek jaise dikhte hai.....balki maine toh uski bachpan ki tasveerein bhi dekhi hai.....iska duplicate hai woh.....(joking & laughing)tumhe yakeen hai na woh iska pitaa nahi hai??????

Ridz just gives a faint smile.

Anjie takes jr.armaan in her lap & plays with him...

Ri:  yeh kaise ho sakta hai.....kahi anjali ka devar woh hi to nahi.....nahi woh nahi ho sakta...zaroor yeh ek ittefaaq hai....ab bhagwaan usse mere saamne kyu laayenge.....sab kuch toh badal gaya hai....

Ri:  armaan....you bad boy....maasi ke baal chodo....unhe dard ho rahaa ho ga....

At this anjie looks at her shocked.Ridz takes jr.armaan again in her lap & looks at anjie's shocked expression.

Ri(worriedly):  kya hua????

An:  tumne iska naam kya bola?????

Ri:  ar...ar..armaan..kyu kya hua????

An:  this is the height of coincidences.....mere devar ka naam bhi toh armaan hai....inki sirf shakal nahi balki naam bhi milta hai......

An:  tumne mujhe maasi kyu bulaaya????

Ri:  pataa nahi kyu lekin mere mooh se nikal gayaa....shayad meri koi behen nahi hai na isliye tumhe dekh kar lagaa kaash meri bhi tum jaisi koi behen hoti.....aur meri behen armaan ki toh maasi hi hogi na......tumhe buraa lagaa????

An:  nahi bilkul nahi....actually meri bhi koi behen nahi hai isliye mujhe bahut achchaa lagaa ki kissi ne mujhe apni behen kahaa....

Jr.armaan starts moving towards anjie saying maa....chiiii....maa.....chiii....Anjie hugs him & plays for sometime.She & ridz chat for sometime & tell each other why they are going to goa & where they are living.They turn out to be even in same hotel.Ridz gets shocked on hearing that such wrong business is going on in respectable hospital like sanjeevani.They get very excited while talking & keep talking like long lost sisters.Ofcourse ridz doesnt tell her about her hidden secrets & her past.May be this is what god planned in their destiny or may be not....But for now they are together & will keep meeting at every step of their life in goa.

       The plane lands & anjie wants ridz to meet her family.Ridz is hesitant but agrees but god again dint let it happen since ridz bus was about to leave & so she told anjie she'll meet her later.Anjie promised her that her whole family will come to watch her show.Ridz thanked her & parted from her.Unknowingly both of them had tears in their eyes.They didnt know why this parting felt so hurtful but they hid their tears with a plastered smile.They didnt know what cruel game life was about play on them.

       By the time others came anjie's tears had dried up & she was angry with them for getting so late since they lost the chance to meet ridz.Atul looked at her & realised she had cried.

At:  anjie tum ro kyu rahi thi????

An:  tumhe isse kya????tum logon ko time mil gayaa neeche utarne ka???plane kabki land ho gayi aur tum log ab aa rahe ho????(everyone shocked seeing anjie talking so rudely).

At:  anjie baat toh suno....

An:  mujhe kuch nahi sunna....ab tum logon ko fursat mil gayi ho toh chale??????

At:  anjie...muskaan ki tabeeyat bigad gayi thi isliye......

Anjie looks at her shocked & realises muskaan was looking pale....

An:  kya hua muskaan ko????

At:  usse ulti ho gayi thi......6 months pregnant agar plane mein baithegi toh kya hoga????

Anjie hugging muskaan.

An:  I'm sorry maine overreact kar diyaa.....main tum sab ko ridzi se milaana chahti thi par tum log nahi aaye isliye mujhe gussa aa gaya.......

Ra:  ridzi?????

An:  haan mere sister cum friend......Riddhima....

At this armaan looked towards anjie shocked.The name slowly escaped his lips.His heartbeat unknowingly increased.He could feel some connection with this name.He felt he knew this name.He had some relation with this name.But he couldnt point out why he felt so uneasy on hearing this name.They all sat in car which came to take them & anjie started describing all about riddhima.On the other hand ridz was describing all her talks with anjie to naina.Armaan was shocked to hear about jr.armaan being just like him & was getting more & more curious to meet this girl.He wanted to know if she is the same girl.Naina was shocked hearing so many coincidences & asked ridz to meet armaan once & know if he is the same guy but ridz flatly refused the suggestion.They reached their destination & went into their rooms still deep in thoughts.

NEXT MORNING:

        Armaan got up early & was having fresh air in balcony when his eyes fell on a girl sitting at the shore of the beach on the opposite side wearing a capri & light pink top.Her back was facing armaan.She turned little & armaan saw her side face.It was her...riddhima.Armaan instantly recognised her & ran downstairs near the beach knocking out people on the way.He kept running & running & when he finally reached the beach the girl was gone.He knew it was her & searched all around the beach but didnt find her again.He lost hope & eyes were searching her all around while he was going back to his room.He kept thinking "Was it my imagination or is she really here?What is she doing here?What if it was my imagination?"The question kept ringing in his ears.A small child came running towards him & hold his legs bringing armaan back to reality.He bent down & took the small boy in his arms.It was jr.armaan.They smiled looking at each other.Armaan felt a different feeling of sensation going through his body while holding the child.He was stranger but felt so like his own.Then he realised the boy looked so like him.Same eyes...same dimples...same hair.......& it struck to him that this was the boy anjie told about.

Ar:  hi bachchaa...aapka naam kya hai????

Jr.(in his broken words language):  aallllrrrmmaaaaann

Ar:  mera bhi naam armaan hi hai...(putting his hand forward)..aap mujhse dosti karoge????

Jr.armaan nods his head & gives his little hand in armaans hand.He then kisses or rather leaks armaan's cheek making them wet.Armaan smiles at his innocence & gives him a small kiss.He didnt understand how did this small child bring the original wide smile of armaan back to his face.Even minni,maya & harsh couldnt bring this smile on his face.He was so used to plastered smile that today his original smile felt so different & so real.He wonderd what was the bonding he had with this child that he got so attached to him with just a small hug.Even jr.armaan seemed too comfortable with the stranger.Jr. armaan would never go to strangers let alone talk to them but this was different.This was special.

Ar:  beta aapki mumma kahaan hai????

Just then a girls voice comes from behind.

Girl:  uffo armaan tum yahaan ho.....

Both the armaan's turn behind to see who called.
