**~PART 8~**

Riddhima stared point blanked at Armaan. She was shocked at Armaan's words.

" Armaan, do you know what you are saying?"

" Yes Riddhima. I know what I am saying. I want you to marry me"

" Armaan, I know why you are saying this?"

" No Riddhima, there is no sympathy or pity between us. I am asking you to marry me because I feel pity or sympathy onto you but because I want to make you mine forever. Riddhima, you know I wanted to marry you for the longest time and you also know that there is no room for pity or sympathy in our relationship"

" I know this Armaan, but you also know everything. Armaan, how can I ruin your life like this?"

" Riddhima, you have never understood my love for you Riddhima. You cannot ruin my life Riddhima because you are my life Riddhima"

" Armaan, try to understand"

" No Riddhima, you try to understand. I don't even want to think about the future. I want to live in the present Riddhima. I want to marry you and I am going to ask this to your parents"

" No Armaan, please"

" Riddhima, I'll always obliged to you, but not this time" said Armaan and walked away.

" Please understand Armaan, it's not possible. I love you Armaan, please don't do this to me" cried Riddhima.

The dinner table was set. " Arre Armaan, come here nah"

" Sir, I have come to ask permission from you"

" Tell me Armaan" replied Shashank.

" Sir. I know that elders do these things but I am going to do it sir. Sir, I want your daughter Riddhima's hand for my marriage with her."

Everyone was shocked and thrilled at the same time.

Shashank was speechless.

" Armaan, are you sure?"

" Yes sir, Sir. I love Riddhima. I will always love her and I cannot imagine anyone else but her as my wife sir."

" Dad, Armaan is perfect for Riddhima. No one will love Riddhima more than Armaan dad" replied Anjali.

" I know Anjali. I know Armaan will love Riddhima more than us, but how will Riddhima agree?"

" I'll explain to her" everyone turned around to see Sapna. " Riddhima is one of my closest friends, I'll explain to her."

Riddhima was sitting by the sofa starting at all the things that were happening when Sapna came by.

" Riddhima" replied Sapna.

Riddhima slowly lifted her head with tears down her eyes. Sapna opened her arms and took Riddhima in her arms.

" Riddhima, I know what you are going through but Riddhima, it's best this way. Riddhima, you and Armaan are made for each other and what better way to make this an eternal bond. Remember how you always said about your marriage with Armaan, then why is this being a weakness for you? You know Riddhima, Armaan is not the sympathic type. He is marrying you because he loves you and he loves you only."

" I know that Sapna. I know that it's not sympathy but Sapna, I don't know how much more time I have. How can I ruin Armaan's life like that?"

" You already ruined his life Riddhima. You fell in love with him and gave him so many memories that he can never forget them. You left him without telling him anything and left painful memories behind. Riddhima, do you really think Armaan will ever move on? Riddhima, you can have cancer or have something greater than cancer, his emotions and his love will never change Riddhima. He truly loves you"

Riddhima cried while hearing Sapna's words because she knew they were true.

" Armaan is your true soul mate Riddhima. Accept his proposal. Give him happiness Riddhima, he deserves them"

Riddhima pondered for a couple of days until a phone call jolted out of her thoughts. It was Rahul.

" Hey Riddhima. Armaan has a surprise for you and he wants you to come to the basketball court"

" Now Rahul" Riddhima replied wearly.

" Yes right now"

Riddhima got out of the bed and wore a nice pink churidar and rushed over to the basketball court.

Riddhima was shocked to see what she saw' Pictures of her and their pictures, from their first meeting, their first dates, everything'A smile curved up on her face.

" Armaan, what is this?"

" This is my life Riddhima. You are my life and I cannot live without my life"

" Armaan, why do you want to marry me Armaan?"

" Because I see my god in you" replied Armaan with a firm smile.

Riddhima was touched.. " Armaan"

" Haan Riddhima. I am going to show you the passion of my love today"

Tu Hi To Jannat Meri, Tu Hi Mera Junnon
Tu Hi To Mannat Meri, Tu Hi Rooh Ka Sukun
Tu Hi Ankhiyon Ki Thandak, Tu Hi Dil Ki Hai Dastak
Aur Kuch Na Janu Mein, Bas Itna Hi Jaanu..
(Tujhe Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu) - 2
Sajde Sae Jhukta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu
Tujhe Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu..

Kaise Hai Yeh Doori, Kaise Majboori
Mene Nazaron Se Tujhe Choo Liya
Kabhi Teri Khusboo, Kabhi Teri Baatein
Bin Maange Yeh Jahan Pa Liya
Tu Hi Dil Ki Ha Rounak, Tu Hi Janmon Ki Daulat
Aur Kuch Na Janu, Bas Itna Hi Janu..
(Tujhe Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu) - 2
Sajde Sae Jhukta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu
Tujhe Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu..

Vaasdi Vaasdi Vaasdi, Dil Di Dil Vich Vaasdi
Naasdi Naasdi Naasdi, Dil Ro Ve The Naasdi
Rab Ne... Bana Di Jodi.....
Vaasdi Vaasdi Vaasdi, Dil Di Dil Vich Vaasdi
Naasdi Naasdi Naasdi, Dil Ro Ve The Naasdi

Cham Cham Aaye, Mujhe Tarshaye
Tera Shaya Ched Ke Chumta..
O O, Tu Jo Muskaye, Tu Jo Sharmaye
Jaise Mera Hai Khuda Jhomta..
Tu Hi Meri Barkart, Tu Hi Meri Ibaadat
Aur Kuch Na Janu, Bas Itna Hi Janu..
(Tujhe Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu) - 2
Sajde Sae Jhukta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu
Tujhe Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karu

Vaasdi Vaasdi Vaasdi, Dil Di Dil Vich Vaasdi
Naasdi Naasdi Naasdi, Dil Ro Ve The Naasdi
Rab Ne... Bana Di Jodi.....

" Riddhima, I see my god in you. Every day I wake up and I feel like bowing to you Riddima. Whenever I want something, I ask you for it. You are God for me Riddhima and I want to marry my God whom I love and worship everyday."

Riddhima was touched and tears flowed down her eyes.

Armaan stared at Riddhima and bent down.. " Now Dr. Riddhima Gupta, will you marry me?"

Riddhima smiled at him and knew it was pointless to argue with him..

" Yes, Dr. Malik. I am ready to become Dr. Riddhima Malik '"
