Riddhima
Riddhima
What just happened?...........my mind was racing when i looked up at him.....looking at me with such deep eyes, that horrified me...
My body felt those goosebumps all over again.........i turned around to go away, feared, when my heart beat raced faster as he clucthed my hand
"Riddhima..."
Hearing him taking my name, i stopped as he was closely observing me
"I Love You" and that was what i always feared off.........hearing these words from him....i never wanted anyone to get into my already destroyed life...
Not because of the fear, i will be destroyed more..........but with the fear, that i will destroy him.......A Bad Luck...that what i called myself
My hands muscle tighten up because of his grip..it was soft though but a handcuff was putted around my hand........
"I know, we just met three weeks ago.......but Love don't see time....it can happen just with a look" he was trying his best to convince me....i too know that love can happen just in a sight as it strike to me for Abhi.....i don't want him to get involved with me...No, he can't do that........He can have much better girls than me...
I am not even a girl now who dreamed for her wedding, her prince, her life.......My all those thoughts were already in trash bin along ago...
Turning around, i tried to explain him.......
"But armaan.....I can't......I can't do this" Seeing that sorry feeling in his eyes, make me feel more pitiful......i knew, i just knew its all because he felt pity for me.....everyone does.......i was a stupid telling him about my life...
Pihu moved a little in his hands but to my surprize, he just move his hands on her back and she was back to her beautiful fairy sleep
"I know, I understand you and I am not enforcing my love on you.....you have the full right to don't accept this.......but you can't stop me loving you and Pihu" he said it in a firm voice........Right now i didn't feel that pity but it was something stronger.....May be i mis-read his eyes but the thing remain is that some way or another, this issue will come up, my past life will surly become the topic
"If you don't want to accept my Love, its Ok Riddhima.........but you can't break this friendship........and you can't ask me to stop loving you and Pihu.....I told your sister and now, I am telling you the same.........if I say it correctly, it was Pihu who made me love you..........and I promise, if you ever decide to give me a chance, I will love Pihu in the same way as a father should be" analyzing me remain quiet, I turned around helpless
I saw with the corner of my eyes him placing Pihu lightly on the couch
**Bang** i turned around and keep looking at the closed door with empty eyes.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not knowing, what should i do now?..........i keep arguing with my self about my next step........One time, my heart asked me to move forward and accept this new phase of my life with open arms....but on other hand, it says me to be careful.......Don't do that...you might face another heart break
I keep myself shut in the house, as i knew........if i just get a look of armaan, i will loose my heart........
Staying back at home wasn't that tough..........i keep myself busy with house chores and Pihu......but to whom, i am lying.......
I knew i was missing my friend........armaan had left many memories in my house........On the time of every meal, my heart just hopes for him to come and join me.......with every ring, my feet themselves move towards the door just with the thought that it might be armaan........while looking at every corner of my house, i imagine armaan painting or roaming around in his jeans and vests.......
But to my displease......he didn't appear
Getting angry sometimes, i used to hate armaan as why did he pop up that question which change the reality of our relation............he should have come to meet me as a friend.......but.....
Washing dishes, i washed my hands as the bell ring.........Pihu was sleeping so i rushed to the door before it can get louder....
"Di" hugging her, i invite her in while closing the door, i just give a glance to armaan house but it was silent....
"Whats going on?" di looked back at me as i started moving towards Kitchen to wash the remaining dishes
"Nothing, as Pihu is sleeping, so decided to do some house chores"
Getting a hand in a plate, i again put some dish wash liquid on the sponge and het started
"Why are you not going to work, Ridzi?" Putting the last dish on the dish career.....i turned to get a hold of napkin
"I just thought that i wasn't giving much time to Pihu, di.........so just thought to have some quality time with her" not satisfied with my answer, but still di didn't ask that again
"Ok"
Making herself comfortable on one of the chairs in kitchen, di continued
"How'z armaan?.......didn't heard of him after dinner that night?" there was something strange in di's voice......something strong..
"He must be buzy dii..........he is getting a promotion so must be caught up with lot of work"
"He didn't even talk to you......." surprised on the tone of di, i turned around to find her looking shocked..........but on looking at me, just changed her expressions
"i mean............you both become good friends right?" Nodding, i turned around to clean the dishes with napkin
"Ya..."
After a long moment of silence.......di continued, once again
"Ridzi, did something happen between you two?" and that was it..........i knew that di and jeeju know everything....
"He confessed di.......he love me" putting the plate with a strike on the shelve......i said out loud..............Di get up hearing my tone as i feel tears building up in my eyes
Slowly she come to me and rubbed my shoulders, gently....
"And what did you said?" her voice was soft, soothing
"I can't............I can't love him back di......i just cann't do that" as i cried, di hold me and keep rubbing my arms to calm me down.........she take me out from the kitchen and help me sit down on the couch
"Calm down Ridzi.......ShhhhhHhh" but she let me cry..........
After a bit, when i felt some better...........she handed me a glass of water and started slowly
"See Ridzi, i know about armaan........He told me and Atul on that dinner night that he love you....." looking up, i saw confidence there in her eyes........Di was never so sure in her life before except the time she and jeeju get married........she can't trust anyone so easily.......
"Atul and I were keeping an eye on his before too............but he was so calm about that.....he told us that he absolutely adore Pihu and want to marry you not just for you.....but for Pihu too"....i looked down again at the empty glass
"Give him a chance..........he is a nice boy.....and as far as i knew guys till now.........he will surly support you in your coming life....hmmmmm" Not able to answer anything, i just keep looking at the glass..
Getting up, di give me a last look...........i can felt her gaze on me and then she moved forward a cell phone
"Its armaan's cell...........he left that in our house......." silently i took the mobile from di.......
"I am taking Pihu to my house..........Rohit was missing him...plus i was too" and patting my shoulder, she left with Pihu, leaving me in those pools of thoughts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Holding my breath, thinking that its the last chance to left before ringing the bell..............but it was like, my feet were stick with the floor and didn't allow me to turn and i rang the bell
On first time, i didn't heard any voice........but 2nd time, i heard his weak voice of asking me come in
Getting inside, feared, i look upto him laying in the bed............Pale
He moved his blanket up to look at me and captured my eyes............Slowly, i moved towards him....trying to read his eyes......which were looking so sad but now i saw a glint in them.........he was having dark circles around his eyes like he didn't slept from days.......his beard was covering his chin and ever so sweet dimple........his hairs were uneven......In short, he was totally changed from the time, i last saw him....three days before
I closed my eyes to remove the flashback of that night which suddenly appear infront of my eyes
Opening my eyes, i felt his intense gaze, noticing my every action but to avoid that...........i transferred my attention on the side table and thermometer.......which was still reading 102F
Giving him a glare, a harsh one.........i take out my mobile and call a doctor.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He is having a really high fever.........looks like some kind of depression is on his mind......take care of him" Doctor handed over me some medicines and i get inside the room to find him sleeping....
Doctor has given him an amnesia injection so that he can have a proper sleep.....
Keep sitting beside him, i noticed his face even more..........they had started getting some lines beside the eyes.....with the beard and mustache, he was looking even more handsome to me....
Getting a bowl of cold water, i kept changing the strips on his forehead and in the night, when i checked his temperature............it had settled down to 100F
Di kept Pihu with her as i told her about armaan's condition..........
In the middle of the night, i felt armaan eyes moving so i get near him...........He opened his eyes slowly and tried to get aware with the surroundings........I don't know what is there in his eyes which always keep me glued to him
"How are you feeling now?"
"Better" he said with a weak smile.........getting assured, i sigh and again take out the thermometer to check his temperature
"What are you doing in such a mid-night here?" he asked me, trying to extract out my emotions
But keeping him stop, i put thermometer in his mouth and he keep looking at me the whole time..............after 2 minutes, i take out thermometer and read it......it still was showing 100F but it was better than 102F
Putting thermometer back, i was about to get up to get something for him to eat but he hold my wrist
"Riddhima, why are you here till now?" his question was simple yet difficult for me to answer
As he repeated that one more time, i turned around and answered softly
"For our friendship armaan...........we share a really beautiful friendship that i never want to end.......you are a great friend and i don't want to ever loose a friend like you....hmmmmm" with a small smile, i assured myself, more than him
"Just for friendship?" he seemed hurt but......i can't give him more than that
"Just for our great friendship" turning around, i rushed to his kitchen to make soup.......as i knew, it will be difficult to answer his questions
