Part 5

Armaan

I entered the room to find her looking at the album............silently he moved towards her....my heart squeezed with ache watching the tear drop on the album

"She is suffering"  realizing it make me worried about her...

Keep looking at her for a moment, when i wasn't able to take it anymore..............moved forward and put my hand on her shoulder

Startled, she looked up at me............looking at her and than at album, i was confused.....there was a man standing beside her..they both were smiling and looking satisfy with there expression

"He is abhi......Abhimanyu.......my ex-husband" as the word hit me

"Ex-husband?" shocked, i looked bback at her

And then she explains............how they got divorced and stuff....

As she was telling me, i was all angry at her mother-in-law who just rejected her and Pihu............and more on that Abhi.......If he can't take care of her than he better never had marry her....i feel shattered and thrilled, listening how she suffered and how she cope with that.....just for Pihu

She was broken all way and i just hugged her then............don't know why, but i felt like that she need me........she need me more than any one else around...and to say, it was right

Her tears traced down her cheek and absorbed in my sweatshirt........it was heart quenching feeling her wrecked….her delicate body had many unseen bruises and I was determined to cure them…

Don't know how, but as I move my hands at her back to calm her down, I felt those currents passing in her body…….she was so soft and was feeling untouched………..she was never loved the way she need to be loved

"I will bring all happiness and love back in your life Riddhima, I promise" assuring myself, I let her cry to get relief from all the pain…………..Somewhere, I felt angry at Abhimanyu…..but as I think more on this…………I was happy that she left him……….He never deserved her…..it was just a play…….a wrong play

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her house look cool when we were finished with the interior…………..she buy some paintings and dcor stuff more to add charms……later we shopped for Pihu and secretly, I buy a skin colored sari for her having great bead & stone work on it……that she liked, but as it was a bit expensive, she left it

For me, there was no tension of money…………..Blissfully, I had a great habit of saving money for future………the old days of our poorness, helplessness keep reminding me to save something for future as you don't know how it is……..

Mostly, I save to give little treats to Muskaan from time to time…………but as she was away from about 2 years & I was too buzy with my assignments and work load…….that never really get time to party or stuff……..but now, Riddhima completely deserve this

Next day, she just came to my house holding pihu in her arms

"Oh, Shona baby" saying it in a bubbly way, I get a hold of Pihu from her and invited her in

"Wow armaan, your apartment is arranged…………not like any particular bachelor" she looked amazed but it was fact that mostly bachelors do like to live in a messy room

"But I am not Any bachelor" I corrected myself and then smile "Thank you"

Sitting on my single couch, I slipped down on the floor while Pihu start running into the house…

"What were you doing?" she asked as I looked Pihu running towards the 2 seats dinning of my having her hands up in the air…………it was looking like she got a new world..

"Nothing much, just was cleaning my camera lens………..i buy one more of a really high quality………just was thinking to experiment on someone"

"Great" Riddhima look down at our magazine's last week's edition……..

"Great, you are quite good in your field" she said getting through it

"thank you" hearing a bump, I looked back at Pihu who just fell down….

"Oh" but after making a face for a moment, she again get up smiling and start running

"This Girl is crazy" smiling, I commented as Riddhima smiled too…………..and then suddenly I got this idea

"Riddhima, if you don't mind can I ask you for a favor" puzzled she looked at me as I continued

"I can do a little photo shoot of Pihu………" requesting, I looked at her………..looking at me for a moment, she smile form on the corner of her lips and then nod

"Sure armaan, I will be so glad" I need to buy many exciting stuff for her………..some dresses, some shoes…….hair bands…..i started planning right that moment when Riddhima brought me back to reality

"Oh, by the way the thing I actually came for is still in between"

"What?" now I got confused

"Well, actually…..i told my elder sis about you and she really appreciate your work with that painting of rooms………….so"

"So what?" Riddhima get up and get a hold of Pihu who disappointingly came to her mother for an unknown reason

"So di wanted you to have dinner with her this weekend" rocking pihu, she looked at me for some response

"But….But… how can I? I don't know her at all and then.."

"No worries, My jeeju will be there and di is a really nice girl………..i think you will like them….and plus, me and Pihu too joining you"

Thinking for a moment, I nod………as pihu get more curious

"Mama, dudu"

"Ok baby" she tried to calm her down

"Pihu is hungry………..i must leave…….see you later" bidding bye, she left me with many questions

"Why her sister want to meet me?........i don't know her and never actually met her before….is this a new start of a relationship……..or this meeting is about to put a stop on mine and Riddhima's friendship……." Confused…….confused…

"Leave it armaan, you still have three days………..you will be ok" assuring myself……..i get back to my work

Aa haa, aa haa, aa haa
La la, la la, la la la
Jaane kyun main tujhko din raat sochta hoon
Jaane kyun main teri har baat sochta hoon
Yeh paagalpan hai yaa pyaar hai
Yeh kaisa mujhpe khumar hai
Har pal ho tujhse meri mulaqat sochta hoon
Jaane kyun main tujhko din raat sochta hoon


Sitting in my cabin..........i was lost in mine own world

"Congrats" remembering her, i started smiling as imagining her lips.........they use to curl in such a sweet way that can blow any man's heart.....

"Ah! i am from those ones" turning my chair, i stand up and look outside te window........Sky was clear...just a few birds flying around that add charms to it....down, the same hustle and bustle of the city.....

Just then, her bubbly talk with Pihu came to my mind and that derived me away from today.....She look so cute, sometimes childish doing those acts....but then, that what a mother is............A mother need to change her attitude with time......sometimes friendly, sometimes childish, sometimes strict......They are many faces of a mother and all different from each other......i just feel that as i never saw my own mother.............i never had such great memories of her

But then again, Riddhima is just there to make me feel all that again.............she is special.....really special

Tere khayalon mein khoye rehna
Mera kaam ab yehi hai
Yeh jaan le tu ki pagal dil ka
Paigham ab yehi hai paigham ab yehi hai
Ho jaye shaayad koi karamat sochta hoon
Jaane kyun main tujhko din raat sochta hoon
Jaane kyun main teri har baat sochta hoon


"Armaan, everything ready for shoot" i didn't hear it till karan came to me a jerk me a little

"ya what?" puzzled i looked at her

"Shoot......." frowning a little, he keep looking at me

"What man? sorry i was lost somewhere" putting a hand on his shoulder, i smiled and he too smiled

"Armaan" stopping me, he move his hand to my eyes and remove the little tears that i don't realize, when form in my eyes..

"Are you ok?" concerned, he asked

"Should i cancel the shoot?" he was worried.........He was my assistant from long back and now is one of my best friends

"No, i am fine" giving a small smile.......i collected my camera and left the room

Milne ko aksar mile tu mujhse
Phir bhi hain faasle kyun
Dil ki lagi ne banaye hain yeh
Benaam silsile kyun benaam silsile kyun
Badlenge kaise ab yeh haalat sochta hoon
Jaane kyun main tujhko din raat sochta hoon
Jaane kyun main teri har baat sochta hoon
Yeh paagalpan hai yaa pyaar hai
Yeh kaisa mujhpe khumar hai
Har pal ho tujhse meri mulaqat sochta hoon
Jaane kyun main tujhko din raat sochta hoon


The model take her place............the light man focused the light on her......everything go ready...

Cleaning my camera lens, i take my position..........looking at the young model from camera.....and to my surprise, i was imagining her
 
"Riddhima" mummbling, i back off and look at the model........she was looking confused at me

"Just taka a slight turn to the left" indicating her, i look back from the lens......surprised with myself............but again, i was seeing Riddhima in the model...........imagining her smiling, turning..........laughing, giggling.............and i again backed off

"You are gone, Armaan Malik" smiling, i move my hand from my hairs to get back to normal
