Part 7
Emaan stood there as she gazed in to the pairs of eyes settled on her. Her face glinting like a kid who has just got her favourite candy. Emaan stood their frozen in her place as she clasped her hands together. It all seemed surreal to her. It was seeing a mirror image. Of course they had changed a bit. She glanced to see her Muskaan massi and then the younger version of her sitting down. Heading off to them to she sat in front of the table, so she was facing the very nervous looking j-rahul and j-muskaan.
Em: ahem ahem… massi… (Emaan waved her hands in front of muski and then she finally noticed her) Hi... muskaan chada right?
J-muskaan looked confused as she shook emaan's hand.
Em: hi massar (to j-rahul)
Emaan chuckled seeing them confused, sliding over the table she faced atul and Angie whom were looking nervous as hell for some reason.
Em: hi massi and massar…
Atul and angali both looked up to see her properly for the first time. A cute looking teenage girl with baby blue eyes and a charming smile with dimples stood before them.
At and an: hi
Em: atul massar. So you know now that you don't know me, does that mean you won't be calling me immu anymore?
Emaan chuckled as she looked at the confused expressions on j-atul's face. After their casual getting to know each other session, emaan slid on the table further so now she was facing her own parents. Emaan sat down and just looked at the expressions of her to be parents. J-riddhima and j-armaan were shifting in their seats and were avoiding any possible contact with the young girl sitting in front of them. The older ones, Armaan, Riddhima, atul, anjie, rahul and muskaan were looking with blank expressions on their faces. Emaan broke the silence as she held out hand to j-Armaan. Like throwing a stone in a calm lake her voice shattered the silence in the room. Smiling at the bewildered looking armaan. She spoke.
Em: hi, I am Emaan. Emaan Malik. Immediately j-armaan looked up to see a young girl looing at him with a smile reaching her eyes. Her name rang in his ears. Emaan... more over malik. She was his daughter!!! Armaan gently shook her hand as he managed a small smile. J-Riddhima on the other hand was having a blast looking at her armaan looking so nervous and that too in front of their own daughter. Riddhima realized that the young girl was there would be daughter. She looked at the charming girl sitting there so confident and open. Not realizing what she was happening,
J-Riddhima burst out laughing. Everyone turned to look at her a bit shocked.
J-ri: I am sorry... but… oh armaan your face… oohhh myy ggod I haven't seen you soo nervous ever.
Everyone joined in as they realized how the colour had drained from j-armaan's face.
2 hours later
Rahul muskaan atul and Angie and the kids were ready to go home. It was decided that the young interns would spend the night at the older's house so j-atul and j-angie went to atul and angie's house with the two boys and the same with j-muskaan and j-rahul. Armaan riddhima Rishabh j-armaan and j-riddhima were seated on the sofas generally chatting about their past lives. Emaan on the other hand had gone to see atul, angie everyone to the door. J-armaan and j-riddhima were getting more comfortable. J-Riddhima constantly glanced at Armaan and Riddhima whom just looked too involved in their own little world.
Ar: so tell me guys. Are the falling sessions still very intact? Armaan chuckled as Riddhima and j-Riddhima looked confused. J-armaan understood fully what his implication was. Well duh, it was still him and he had the same brain. J-armaan realized that armaan was implying at. He was referring to Riddhima's falling and him catching her 'sessions'. Finally both the Riddhima's understood his implications and hung open their mouths and said 'what??' at the same time. The two armaan and Rishi -whom was having the time of his life finding out about his parents- burst out laughing as Rishi gave j-armaan a high five. J-riddhima blushed a deep red.
Riddhima on the other hand had been married to armaan for soo long that she was so open with him. She huffed and puffed and spoke a bit angrily.
Ri: hey like you are saying that me falling over was jus my fault. Half of the time it was your long legs that were in my way. Riddhima teased her hubby.
j-riddhima looked up to see a very different her. J-riddhima was very surprised to see her in very different light. In her situation she would have never in her wildest dream thought of saying that to her armaan. Riddhima and armaan had observed the lost and kind of surprised expression on j-Riddhima's face. Riddhima understood her state and spoke bringing riddhima out of her trance.
Ri: I know what you are thinking Riddhima. That the person whom you barely have the courage to speak in front of now. (she [pointed at the young armaan) You must be thinking how you can be speaking like this in front of anyone and especially armaan. (Riddhima wore a serious expression on her face and continued.) Riddhima this man is the best thing that's going to happen to you, well the kids come next. (Armaan watched her and gave out a small laugh) the only person in the world who gave me everything in the world without me having to ask for it. He taught me how to stand up for myself, not that he ever would leave my side. That meek and shy Riddhima like this one sitting right in front of me is going to disappear within a few years and that is due to the person sitting right here.
Riddhima reached out and grabbed armaan's hand; gently caressing it but she didn't realize when her eyes got a little moist. Armaan realized this and engulfed her in his big arms. J-armaan and j-riddhima watched them and felt damn proud of themselves thinking about how well there life is going to work out. J-riddhima gently moved her hand without getting anyone's attention and gently held j-armaan's hand whom was to busy admiring armaan and riddhima. J-armaan looked up to see j-riddhima looking at him and then she mouthed a thank you to him. J-armaan jus squeezed her hand as they both saw armaan still with his arms around riddhima. The emotional moment was broken as they heard someone speak from the door. Emaan stood their with her arms crossed over her chest.
Em: oh god mum… I knew you were going to get sentimental. Both of you are same. Emaan pointed at j-riddhima whos eyes were a bit moist as well. Everyone smiled. Emaan walked over and sat next to her dad and armaan wrapped his arms around her.
Ar: hey emmy… where you been? I ain't seen you since the boys came round.
Em: Aww. Nothing dad. We were jus outside and bhai we were jus talking about the basketball game tomorrow with the boys from st Xavier's college. Apparently Ashwin challenged them and now they want to play a game tomorrow.
Ar: oohhh interesting. So you playing tomorrow? J-armaan and j-riddhima perked up their ears. Hey come on... after all it was basketball.
Rishabh: nah dad. Emaan can't play. There are only 5 of them and so it'll be just the boys and me playing. Sorry angel.
Em: Aww its ok bhai, I'll be a cheerleader… she stood up and did a little cheerleading dance demonstrating.
Riddhima laughed at her and spoke: Oye emaan, sit back down, this is a living room not your basketball court. Emaan slumped on the sofa and stretched her legs out so her head was in Riddhima's lap. Riddhima gently caressed her forehead. Gently placing a kiss on her forehead she looked at her carbon copy of armaan.
Ri: you know what armaan and riddhima. This girl here is a second armaan for me, like one was not enough. Emaan shot up and sat straight on the sofa so did armaan, so Riddhima sat in the middle with a not so amused looking armaan and emaan on either side.
Em: hey what you mean another one?
Ar: yeah.. so you have to tolerate me?
Em: yh mum… what you mean… with like one was not enough?
Ar: Yes riddhima speak up?
Riddhima whom was constantly looking from armaan to emaan was trying to say something but the duo wouldn't let her.
Ri: oh my god!! See is exactly what I mean! Mujhe bolne toh dete nahi yeh baap beti. Riddhima placed her hand on her hand as Armaan and Emaan gave each other a high five over her head. J-Riddhima and j-armaan along with Rishi were laughing their hearts out watching the cute family banter.
