Hey guys…here's AR one-shot. Just wrote it now, so don't know how it came out. Please do comment and tell me your views.
---------------------------------
You Are My Heartbeat
It was a night time…and people were gathered around between Mumbai and Delhi's highway. There a truck had crushed a car very badly. The girl in the car was badly injured and the people around rushed her to the Mumbai's Sanjivani hospital. She had lost loads of blood and was unconscious. Her car was crushed so badly that people couldn't even tell the color of it.
In Hospital..
"Please get the operation theater ready right away!!!" a doctor screamed looking at the patient's condition. "Doctor Shubhankar OT is ready" a ward boy replied. "Ok good and now get her blood sample and bring 2 bottles of blood as soon as possible and someone please call Dr. Armaan" Shubhankar said wearing his gown and gloves. The ward boy announced Armaan's name in the loud speaker and told him to report to OT quick.
"Guys lagta hai emergency hai…I'll see you guys later" Armaan leaves the canteen in hurry and other interns follow him to see what had happened that he was called to OT immediately. After getting dressed for the operation he goes in to the OT and gets traumatized to see his life..his Riddhima covered in blood. "Riddhima!!!!" he runs towards her and starts shaking her. "Riddhima aankhe kholo…kya howa Riddhima??...kuch toh bolo dammit" "Calm down Dr. Armaan she needs to get operated right now…otherwise…" he couldn't complete his sentence and Armaan looked at him in a shock. "Dr. Shubhankar mein yeh operation nahin kar sakta…mere haath kamp (Shaking) rahe hain" tears started coming out of his eyes. "It's ok…Nurse Dr. Rahul ko ander bhejiye…quick" Armaan was crying uncontrollably. "Dr. Shubhankar please Riddhima ko bacha li jiye…" he pleaded. "We'll try our best…you can go and wait outside…" "Kya mein yahan reh sakta hoon?" "No Dr. Armaaan aap please jayi ye…nurse take him out" the nurse takes him out.
Other interns were puzzled looking at Armaan like this. "Kya howa Armaan?" Atul asked. Armaan was just crying he wasn't able to talk. He was shaking. "Armaan say something?" Anjali asked. "Ri-Riddhima..ka..acc..accident" Armaan could only say this. He started feeling dizzy. The only thing that came in to his mind was Riddhima's face which was covered in blood. Then he started loosing his balance and became unconscious. The interns called Dr. Keerti and they took Armaan to a room. Anjali stayed outside of OT. She was dazed too.
After checking Armaan…..Muskaan and Atul came and supported Anjali. By the time…Padma and Shashank had also arrived from Delhi. "Aunty Riddhima yahan kaise…I mean woh toh Delhi mein thi na?" Muskaan asked. "Haan Delhi mein hi thi…lekin use kisi ka phone aaya tha mein puri baat toh nahin suni lekin itna zarror suna tha…"
~Flash Back~
"Lekin tum mujhe yeh sab abhi kyun bata rahi ho?...oh tum last week aayi?..ok then thanks a lot…mein abhi Mumbai jaun gi…meri haalat bhi usiki tarha hai…thank you sooo much for telling me all this…mein kitna galat soch rahi thi and I'm really sorry ki meine tum dono ki baat nahin maani…please mujhe maaf kardo…thanks.. Yeah ok Bye" she had tears in her eyes while talking and she was also very happy.
"MOM!!! Mein aaj hi...I mean abhi Mumbai ja rahi hoon…and please don't stop me, aaj mein bohot, bohot, bohot khush hoon. Riddhima said while hugging Padma.
"Lekin howa kya?" Shashank asked.
"Woh mein aap ko baad mein bataon gi…abhi mujhe Mumbai ke liye nikal na hai"
"Riddhima tum subha chali jaana…waise bhi raat hone waali hai…" Padma said.
"Mom mein drive kar ke ja rahi hoon…aur waise bhi raat ko traffic nahin hoti toh jaldi pohoch jaon gi.."
Padma and Shashank didn't stop her, as their daughter was smiling after 6 months. They were really happy to see Riddhima happy, so they let her go.
~Flashback Ends~
"Tum mein se kisi ne phone kiya tha use?" Shashank asked.
"No Dad…hum me se kisi ne use phone nahin kiya" Anjali said.
They were talking and Armaan came to them running taking Riddhima's name. Atul and Shashank made him sit on the bench and made him calm down. Armaan's eyes were red and swollen. He was still crying. They were all waiting outside of OT…eagerly waiting for someone to come out and tell them about Riddhima's situation. They waited for a while and then a nurse came out running. Armaan got up to ask how's Riddhima and the nurse told them that she is critical and needs more blood. The nurse left to get more bottles of blood. Armaan was remembering the time that he had spent with Riddhima.
~Flashback~
Armaan and Riddhima were in the Fire Escape. They wanted o spend some time with each other. "Armaan…ek baat puchun?" Riddhima asked. "Hmm…pucho" he said playing with her hand. "Agar kisi reason se mujhe tum se dur jana pare hamesha ke liye…toh tum kya karo ge?" she asked looking in to his eyes. "Mein mar jaon ga.." he said cupping her face. "Armaan! Tum hamesha mar ne baat kyun karte ho? Mujeh bilkul nahin pasand. She said looking away. "Sach hi toh bol raha hoon" he said. "Tum aisa kuch nahin karo ge Armaan" she had tears in her eyes. "Tum toh aise baat kar rahi ho jaise aaj hi mujhe chor kar chali jao gi" he said. "Nahin mein toh sirf puch rahi thi…mein tumhe chor kar kabhi nahin jaon gi Armaan" "Mein bhi" he said wiping her tears. "But promise me ki incase mujhe jana pare toh tum apne aap ko hurt nahin karo ge…Promise me?" she asked. "Ok baba I promise…aur tum bhi mujhe promise karo" "Kya?" she asked being confused. "Same thing" he said. "I Promise…" she said taking his hand in hers. "I love you Riddhima" he said while kissing her forehead. "I love you too Armaan".
~Flashback Ends~
Armaan cried thinking about their beautiful memories. He wanted those golden days back in his life. Then he remembered the day they both broke up.
~Flashback~
One day after duties, Riddhima and Anjali went to the mall for shopping. Riddhima was waiting for Anjali outside of shop; Anjali had gone to exchange some clothes. While waiting Riddhima saw Armaan in another shop. She got happy and thought to go and surprise him. She went into that shop and saw Armaan with some other girl. He had his hand around that girls shoulder and he was also talking with her. The only thing Riddhima heard was "Mein Riddhima ke saath game khel raha hoon" and Riddhima felt heart broken listening to that sentence. She cried and left the place. She didn't hear Armaan's sentence from the beginning. It was something like this "Tumhe lagta hai ki mein Riddhima ke saath game khel raha hoon?"
Armaan noticed Riddhima running and he had no idea why. He ran after her, but he was too late she called Anjali and was gone. He tried calling her but she wasn't picking up the phone. So then he waited for tomorrow to meet her and ask what happened.
Next Day…
Riddhima was in no mood to talk with anyone. Her eyes were swollen because of crying all night. "Riddhima kya howa…tum aise kyun behave kar rahi ho?" Armaan asked. "Armaan mujhe tumse kuch zarrori baat karni hai.." She took him to the fire escape. "Armaan kal mall mein jo tumne us larki se kaha woh sach hai?" she started crying. "Riddhima she is my sister woh kal hi London se aayi hai..aur tum kya bol rahi ho? Meine usse kya kaha?" Armaan asked putting his hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it off. "Yahi ki tum mere saath game khel rahe ho" she said fuming. "Mein tumhare saath koi game nahin khel raha Riddhima…I really love you." He said making her understand. "Ab jhooth bolkar kya faida Armaan…meine sab kuch sun liya hai.." she leaves fire escape making Armaan all confused. He doesn't even know when he said that.
Days passed by, Armaan and Naz (His Sister) kept trying to make Riddhima understand that it was just a misunderstanding but Riddhima didn't listen to them. She talked with her dad and got her transfer to Delhi Sanjivani, far from Armaan. Before leaving she decided to meet Armaan once. Armaan was sitting in the fire escape; he was really upset and broken. "Armaan mein ja rahi hoon" Riddhima said from behind. Armaan got up and walked up to her. "Riddhima please mat jao…" he pleaded and he had tears in his eyes. "I just came to say bye" she said with tearful eyes but she didn't let them come out, not yet at least. "Riddhima please don't leave" Armaan pleaded once again. "Armaan mein nahin jaanti ki tum mujhse pyar karte ho ya nahin…lekin yeh zarror jaanti hoon ki mein tumse bohot pyar karti hoon…mein tumhe kabhi bhula nahin paongi.." she couldn't stop her tears now. "Mein tumhe khud se bhi ziyada pyar karta hoon Riddhima…please mujhe chod kar mat jao?" he held her hand. "Ab hamare beech sab kuch khatm ho chuka hai Armaan..." she was sobbing and before she could say something else Armaan pulled her in to one last hug and they both cried. And after a while Riddhima left hoping not to see Armaan ever again.
~Flashback Ends~
Fresh sets of tears came out from his eyes. And then the red light of Operation Theater finally turned off after 3 whole hours and Dr. Shubhankar and Rahul came out. "Sir…Riddhima kaisi hai?" Muskaan asked and Armaan also got up seeing them. "Riddhima kaisi hai Rahul…bol na please?" Armaan asked. "Riddhima is very critical, agar next 24 hours mein hosh nahin aaya toh…" Dr. Shubhankar couldn't complete the sentence. "Mein usse mil sakta hoon?" Armaan asked. "She is being shifted to I.C.U. and then you can meet her" Rahul said.
In I.C.U.
One by one everyone met Riddhima and left. Padma wanted to stay but Armaan assured her that he will take care of Riddhima, so Padma also left.
"Riddhima please aankhe kholo…You are my heartbeat Riddhima, aur agar tumhari heart stop howa to mein bhi zinda nahin rahonga…" Armaan cried holding her hand and kissing it. The night passed by, but Riddhima didn't make any move. Armaan was still sitting there holding her hand. He didn't eat nor sleep all night. All he cared about was Riddhima.
In the morning, some doctors came in to check Riddhima. They checked her but there was no sign recovery, the doctors had lost there hopes. But Armaan still had faith in his god and in his Riddhima. He strongly believed that nothing will happen to her; he won't let anything happen to her.
When everyone came to see Riddhima, they bought food for Armaan, but he refused to eat. "Riddhima ne bhi kal se kuch nahin khaya, toh mein kaise khaon?" he said. "Armaan, agar tum khana nahin khao ge toh Riddhima ka khayal kaise rakho ge?" Padma asked. "Aunty, mein manage kar longa…" he started feeling dizzy. He held his head with his hands and closed his eyes. "Lagta hai weakness se inhe chackar aa rahe hai…" Dr. Keerti said. "Armaan khana nahin khana lekin juice toh pilo?" Shashank said. They make him drink some orange juice. "Armaan, I think tumhe ghar jaakar araam karna chahiye…" Muskaan said observing his weak condition. "It's ok…I'm fine". They didn't argue more and let him stay. They believed that Armaan's love will definitely bring Riddhima back.
It was now 23rd hour, and there was no sing of life in Riddhima. Armaan had fallen asleep with Riddhima's hand in his. Then suddenly he felt a move and woke up. He saw Riddhima having some attack. She couldn't breath. Armaan panicked and quickly called a doctor. The doctors started checking Riddhima, they told Armaan to wait outside. He was praying hard. After a while the doctors came out and told Armaan that Riddhima is no more.
Armaan couldn't believe them and ran in to the I.C.U. he saw Riddhima lying there dead. He went and hugged her and started crying. "Riddhima tum mujhe chod kar nahin ja sakti…Riddhima please get up…mein mar jaoun ga Riddhima please utho!!" He cried more. Then he looked at Riddhima, as his tears fell on her cheeks, her finger moved. That didn't go unnoticed by him. He got happy. "Riddhima utho…common Riddhima…get up" he was shaking her. All his friends and Riddhima' parents were watching this standing at the door. After trying hard, he gave up; he thought that moving of her finger was just his illusion and Riddhima is dead.
As he got up to leave, Riddhima held his hand "Ar-Armaan" she whispered, her eyes were lightly open. Armaan turned around to see his Riddhima alive. He was very happy, that his love brought her back. "Riddhima…Riddhima tum theek ho na?" he asked kissing her cheek softly. Riddhima nodded, she wasn't in state to talk right now. The doctors were stunned to see Riddhima alive. It was indeed a miracle. They checked her again and told Armaan that she is fine, but a lil weak due to losing loads of blood. And the doctors also told him that she needs rest and everyone can meet her later.
Armaan went home and got freshen up. He told his sister everything that happened with Riddhima.
Later Armaan and Naz went to hospital together. Riddhima was awake at that time. "Aap kaise ho?" Naz asked Riddhima. "Theek hoon…aur haan thank you" she replied. "No..it's ok I'm soory yeh sab meri wajah se howa hai.." Naz said looking down "Tum ise thank you kyun bol rahi ho?" Armaan asked confusingly and everyone in the room was also confused. "Bhai…meine hi inhe phone kiya tha…aur mere phone ke wajah se inka accident ho gaya…" she cried. "Naz…tumhari wajah se toh mein aaj Armaan ke saath hoon…toh please apne aap ko blame mat karo" Riddhima said. "One second…Riddhima exactly kya howa tha?" Armaan asked. "Mein bata ti hoon" Naz said. "Actually jab mein London se aayi toh mujhse aap ki yeh halat dekhi nahin gayi…aap kisi se theek se baat bhi nahin karte the yahan tak ki mujhse bhi nahin…aur theek se khana bhi nahin khate the…aap khoye. Khoye se rehte the… I could only see pain in your eyes and your love for Riddhima…I couldn't see you like this so I called her up and told her everything and I told her about you staying upset all the time" Naz finished telling them. "Aur jab meine Armaan ke baare mein yeh sab suna toh mujhse raha nahin gaya…" Riddhima said. "Yeh 6 months meine kaise bitaye tumhare bina yeh sirf mein hi jaanta hoon Riddhima" Armaan said looking down. "Tum kya samajh te ho ki mein tumse juda hokar khush thi?...mein bhi din raat tumhe hi yaad karti thi Armaan" Riddhima said holding his hand.
The rest of the people left the two love birds alone in the room. "Phir kabhi aisa mat karna Riddhima" Armaan said carefully hugging her from the side so she doesn't get hurt. "I love you very much Riddhima" he said putting his head tenderly on hers. "I love you too Armaan" she said hugging Armaan tightly from the side. And they lived Happily Ever After.
