Chapter 8

Hi friends,thanks for all the comments.

So this is the final part. Hope u like it. Will pm later in the morning.

  Part 6 (the end)

"ha the pasta was tasty,yummy. Finally they learnt something from my craving. Good isn't it. Well they are now getting themselves cleaned up after so many hours In the kitchen. Armaan is getting her ready for the bed. She wouldn't take a bath. Ask her to take bath she wuld get all the walls wet and say I have taken the bath. He knows all her tricks now and has been taking care of her.

Well where was I when I left ha the confession.

I returned from my trip to London, u know right everything abt the trip, I already mentioned it. Well after I returned from London I didn't see him for a week almost. Even on my day of return he left khushi at anjali's home and left. He didn't even come to receive me, he didn't meet me for  a week. I was confused why he left so suddenly. Often I wuld listen of him from sumit,he mentioned abt his projects being done, he was working from his home. I didn't understand why. I called him but everytime his cell was busy. I couldn't understand whether he was ignoring me,or he was in such circumstances he couldn't even call me to ask abt me being safe,or even he culd have asked abt khushi. That week was very slow, I dragged myself  to the office but didn't have the interest once I had. I was missing him terribly. I had already fallen for him,loved him and this was a real test for me. I think everyone wuld have noticed the change in me,but no one asked.often anjali asked but I ignored her, I didn't want her to know abt my feelings, I already told her abt armaan's confession and she was like bugging me to give him a chance,he is a good guy and loves khushi and u a lot,she wuld often say to me . but I always said no to her. Good friends we are but I wasn't ready to open up before her either. I don't why maybe just got accustomed to this way of holding secrets.

However that idiot (I-do-ishq-only-tumse) appeared. His face was cheerful,he was smiling at everyone, even blushing. He handed a wedding invitation. He said that he was getting married to some girl named riddhima, first I was shocked hearing the name. how did he know the name,did he know anything about my past was all I culd think abt. He seemed to not notice my shocked expression and forced me to look at the invitation. As I saw the photo of the girl realization crept to me,that I culd n't be the only riddhima in the world,there might be many other. As the realization struck abt him getting married to another girl I felt a pain in my chest. i controlled my emotions and smiled to him and congratulated him,leaving him there. I was all boiling inside,he said he loved me then how the hell was it that he was getting married to someone else,some girl named riddhima,riddhima kaisa naam hai yeh,huh. Mujhe kya lena dena uss ladki, I don't care a damn abt him or that girl name riddhima.

Well, I tried to be away from him, as I felt I wuld end up bursting at him with all the anguish in me. He always talked abt the girl. Told of how he met her, how she made him fall for her with all her special qualities and blah and blah and blah. That was really too much. He was talking abt some other girl before me but what could I do I just smiled at everything and under my breathe cursed him and that girl. That was the time I hated him the most. All the month I hated him, as he dragged me to the mall to shop for him,while all he wuld do was talk abt his riddhima. Huh, really yaar he pissed me off with all his blabbering on riddhima. Also it was the first question I asked him after marriage how he spoke all abt the so called girl when she really doesn't exist and he is like I am too good a weaving stories, it's my forte. Huh strong point my foot.

 

Ok we are deviating from the main point let's come back,ha how he made me confess. Yes, he made me confess, there was no need for him to as he already confessed his feelings for me,but hey he need to do it right because he again got that other riddhima creating a confusion. Huh,what am I talking,utterly rubbish. Sorry I won't strike it off,it wuld make u all dirty diary,please bear with all this.

 

He came to my house one day,maybe it was a day before his marriage. I was surprised to him there,I really didn't expect him there. I expected him to be at his home doing all the rituals,but he was there at my house, with anger in his eyes. They also showed disappointment in them. As he saw me from the entrance he barged into the house and shoving me to the wall asked angrily "don't u feel anything for me" he shouted at me. I looked into his eyes to find tears in his eyes. The tears were rolling down his cheeks. It hurt me to see him crying, his eyes seemed to be hurt and in pain. He was in pain. Why was he hurt, has his girl said anything to him. Why was he asking the question ? has his girl rejected him, and he was feeling lonely and hurt that whomever he loved didn't love him back. Whatever it may it hurt me seeing him cry. My hand mechanically moved to his cheeks wiped his tears and rested there. My eyes were fixed on his. My eyes only wanted to see relief in his. I wanted that chirpy, armaan back,whose eyes always showed love,care for me. The surroundings didn't really matter for me all I wanted was the relief in armaan's eyes. I don't know for how much time we were standing there looking at each other, he put his hand on mine which still rested on his cheek. He closed his eyes,rubbing my hand to his cheeks as if feeling me, inhaling the fragrance of me. His actions tensed me at it brought me out of my trance. I tried getting my hand away but his grip was firm. He opened his eyes, and once again I was lost in them, as it was now filled with love for me. "you love me"he stated lightly wishpering close to my ear as he pushed me more into the wall, his eyes still holding the love for me. I was getting weak with his actions but still managed to keep my emotions in control.  I tried to  push him off but he was too strong for me. He gently wishpered "u love me ms.riddhima gupta accept it. ". the statement shocked me. "armaan wat are u talking?" I shouted angrily at him and pushed him with all my strength. I succeeded this time, may be it was because he himself pulled back. "I know wat I am talking riddhima, I know u love me" he stated clearly. "armaan, I am not riddhima, she might be at home. U are getting married tomorrow" I stated trying to hide my shock at being called riddhima gupta. I felt that he knew the secret. But I wasn't ready to accept it, I want to clarify if he really knew or was lost. "u are riddhima, and ur my riddhima. Ur the one I love I will marry also. I don't care abt anything u hid from me. I promise I will keep u happy and khushi too" he stated coming to the point directly. So he knew I was riddhima gupta and has hidden something from him. Then what was all that he did last month. "armaan are u mad. U don't love me, u love riddhima n u are getting married tomorrow. So stop being  pain, go home and take some rest.u seem to have hit something on ur head." I shouted back,still playing the game. He seemed really furious now. "you think I am mad. I am not. I can prove u are riddhima" he said angrily. He dumped a book on to the floor. It was my diary. I was shocked to see it. He might have read it and now knew everything abt me. Abt how felt abt him, why I refused him. He cocked his eyebrows "is this enough to make u understand" he asked furiously. "armaan u don't love, u are getting married tomorrow" I pleaded him to understand. He groaned "ah! Riddhima why are u such a dumb person. I am stating to u that I love u,u are the only riddhima I know and I love but still u are repeating the same thing,marriage marriage marriage. marriage karni hai toh bolo kal kyun abhi kar leta hu tumse" he said. I was shocked. Beyong my wits. "armaan, u mean last month all u did was fake.wat u told me was lie." I asked unsure tears forming in my eyes. He nodded approving my statement. "why armaan why?" I cried feeling relieved that the man I loved was still in love with me. I wasn't gonna see him with someother girl. He still loves me. I fell on my knees feeling relieved. "I am sorry riddhima, I did all this to get ur feelings out of u. but u stuck out to be some great sacrificing miss and didn't let ur feelings come out.i am tired now. I wanted the game to end now.so I came directly now to let u know that I still love u and will always love u. u are and will be the only love in my life.  I didn't mean to hurt you dear" he was beside me hugging me while I cried on his chest.  He comforted me, consoling me rubbing his hands slightly on my back, and now and then planting kisses in my hair(he wuld never stop doing that hehe) while I cried relieving myself of the pain I had in me,I culdn't cry before khushi,couldn't say anything to anjali as she wuld taunt me saying I did all of it myself and I had to pay for it . as I realized how much pain I have felt because of his stupid plan, I pulled myself out of his arms. And hit it with the flower vase which was close to me. Hurt he was on his head he looked at me as if I have gone mad. "riddhima wat are you doing?"he said in between as I hit as I wished,punched him with all my force,and gave him a black eye. As I saw that I felt another gush of relief and laughed at his black eye. He looked bewildered at me, for all my acts. Poor armaan couldn't see anything. I left him there while he still howled in pain,to get an ice pack for him. I threw the icepack to him and sat on the couch relaxed while he nursed himself. Now I was relaxed,after so many days.

"hmm,how is it now?"I asked as he sat beside me,still nursing his eye. He looked at me sarcastically huh,maar ke poochti ho ki kaise ho.ha maam aapto aise hi kargani. That was wat I could guess of his looks.hehe poor armaan. "armaan tum sach keh rahe the na"i asked  again. Without saying anything he moved closer to me and smacked his lips on to me, saying that all he said was he true. He loved me, he knew everything abt me. "all I said was true. I love u" he simply mumbled against my lips as I shyed,lowered my eyes. "I know everything abt u riddhima, and I promise I wuld love khushi more. She wuld never be neglected. If u wish  we will have no children in future, but just be my side forever. I want u to be with me forever and ever. I love u" he said kissing me on my forehead. There was nothing more I needed to say he already knew all my doubts, he wanted her in his life. i felt assured by his words. I really didn't want him out of my life, It really hurts to see ur love with someone else and I wasn't ready for this sacrifice,not now, knowing the pain it wuld cause  me and him too. " I love u armaan. I am sorry I didn' t  tell u everything. I hurt u a lot not accepting ur love. I am very sorry armaan please forgive me."I said feeling really angry on me of how I put complications for myself,when I culd have told him everything before, we wuldn't have to suffer so much pain.  But as people everything happens for good. It has strengthed our feelings for each other. I came to know how important he is in my life. "say it once again"he asked after he heard me. "armaan" I started "I don't want the whole essay, I want the three words u said in the starting"he mumbled moving closer to me pushing me into the couch. "armaan,.."I gasped. "not that"he still got closer. "I love you"I said hugging him closer. "marry me"he whispered closer to my ears. "kal accha muhurat hai"he smiled looking at me. While I just hit him on his shoulder.

So that was the confession. And you know wat happened next, he insisted me to leave the play and be riddhima once again. He said that no one wuld take khushi back as having legal custody wuldn't be a problem,as soon we wuld get married and also they wuld give preference to khushi's choice and so parikshit's parents wuldn't have the chance to have her. He convinced me for it. Luckily we didn't get in to much trouble, as they wuld have been problems of people blaming for deception, and parikshit's parents trying to prove I was cheating so I shouldn't have khushi and all that. But luckily parikshit's parents were no longer there and others really didn't care much abt it. So everything happened coolly we had the custody of khushi. She is with us and wuld be with us forever and ever. I could have gone back to my dream job as archaelogist but when u have ur dream man knitting a beautiful dream for u, u would want to be with him,instead of completing ur own dream. And that's wat I am doing, being with the man I loved. Still being in the same company working with hi,.

 

So that's all  my story. With a happy ending.

Goodnight"

"hmm…hogaya diary likna"he chuckled  as he came into the room, wiping of the water from his hair. He always laughs at her for writing a diary when she can't hide it.

"tum muh bandh rako" she said angrily throwing the pillow at him. How dare he mock at me. She thought.

"accha sorry baba,maaf kardo" he said holding his ears as he climbed on to the bed moving towards her while she sat there her  back supported with the headboard,looking angrily at him.

"khushi sogayi" she asked changing the topic,she was in no mood to fight after relieving herself of her sweet memories.

"huh"he snorted shocked at her,she always liked being angry at him for such small things and wuld start fighting but here she was changing the topic. Ha moodswings he thought to himself.

"ha maine sula diya"he said proudly while she raised her eyebrows. It was difficult to get khushi to sleep. It was usually riddhima who put her to bed. "Are you sure?"she asked looking shocked. "Don't doubt my credibilities dear. I said i have put her in bed"he said moving closer to her."Momma" khushi greeted smiling at her mom from the door. Riddhima smiled at her extending her arms for khushi.while khushi jumped on the bed moving towards her mom."khushi,my baby."she said hugging her n looking with raised eyebrows at armaan."You said u put her to bed"she asked giggling."i thought so"he said confused. "Momma,dady tried to but i can't sleep without u.so just pretended as he was boring me with those superman stories,n when he finally left me i came here to sleep with you?"she said smiling in her mother's arms."What u pretended,see what i do to you?"he looked at her pounting his lips.Riddhima was laughing all the while,listening to him threatening her  baby she said"hey,don't threaten her,poor girl what can she do when u bore her with ur superman stories."she said giving him a threatening look."come dear  u sleep here only I will tell u a good story,not like ur dad crummy superman stories.my little princess need some good stories."she said putting her on the bed beside her stroking her slightly telling her a story.while armaan hit himself for foolishly thinking to have succeeded to put her to bed.
