Part 29:

Armaan made his way to the Gupta Mansion, as he suspected it was huge. Ringing the bell, He saw Shashank opening the door with a surprised look.
Shashank: Dr.Armaan?
Armaan: Sir, Plz save Ridhima.
Shashank: Ridhima? What happened to her?
Armaan: Sir, Ridhima got kidnapped by Dr.Pallavi.
Shashank: Pallavi, but..
Armaan: Sir, Pallavi's dead. She killed you daughter and son-in-law 20 years ago.
Shashank: This can't happen.
Armaan: Sir, This is the truth, before dying she shot Ridhima and now she's in the hospital. Plz save her.
Shashank: I'm sorry Armaan, I can't do this.
Armaan: Please Sir. She'll die and with her I'll also.
Shashank: Years ago same thing happened Armaan, But I couldnot save her That's why he also died. Come in, I want to show you something.

Shashank and Armaan went in a room full of Armaan and Ridhima's photos but there was something more. Shashank sat on the bed and began to sob.
Shashank: Armaan, Ridhima was also shot but so badly that it was difficult for her to survive but, I took the chance, I did the operation but something went wrong and I lost her, I lost her Armaan.
Armaan: Sir, History's repeating. The killer is dead but now I need you for her. You couldn't save her so you can do it now. Please, Save her.
Shashank: Armaan did this to me also but when he died with Ridhima, he made a promise that he'll return and now it's coming true.
Armaan: Sir, Please Sir, I can't live without her. You have to save her.
Shashank: Armaan, I can't do this. You don't understand. I killed my daughter.
Armaan: Sir, She's your daughter now. I want you to save her.
Shashank: Armaan, If I do this operation and I don't save her then?
Armaan: Then this will be my destiny, I have to take this as it is.
Shashank: Well, Then let's hurry up then, We can't waste time.

Shashank got ready andleft with Armaan whose joy knew no bounds. He believed he was not alone now, nor he and Shashank, There were more people to support him and Ridhima and their love.

Shashank,on reaching Sanjeevani got ready, He now had hope to save his daughter, once again.

As he entered the O.T. He saw Armaan from the door window seeing Ridhima with a small smile on his face.

He thought as if Armaan was talking to Ridhima just the way as he did 20 years ago.

The operation started, the bullet wasn't coming in Shashank hand's, even with help of the things there. If he couldn't do it in 2 minutes, Ridhima's survival would not be seen.

AS Shashank came sweating. Armaan saw him and ran to him.
Armaan: Sir?
Shashank: Armaan, Bullet's out but if she doesn't wake up in 24 hours its difficult.
Armaan: She will wake up, She will have to.

Armaan slowly made his way to Ridhima, held her hand and quietly began talking to her. Talking Everything, their meeting, the pranks and most important the Armaan Ridhima mission. He smiled on things but didn't let the thought of her dying inside him.
As the night passed he saw Ridhima still asleep.
Armaan: I'm so used to you that I can't even sleep without you now.

Slowly, he lifted the covers, shifted her a little carefully not to affect the medications. Hugging her lightly, giving her a peck on the cheek he whispered.
-I need you, Come back Ridhima, I Love You.
-I Love You Too Armaan.
