Part 9

R:'' papa i want to join your business.''

As riddhima spoke those words samriti and shashank looked at her in surprise as they never expect this

S:''riddhima kya keh rahe ho ap beta?''

Samriti asked her as she was surpised with her words

R:''han mumma maine kuch galat kaha kya mera matlab kya main papa ka business join nahin kar sakti?''

She asked from shashank with lots of hope in her eyes and shashank smiled at her then while caressing her head he replied

Sh:''nahin riddhima aisi koi baat nahin hain aur apki mumma ka puchne ka matlab bhi vo nahin tha beta actually apne ek dam se yeh baat boli tou humein thodi hairani hui aur kuch nahin. Aur vaise bhi riddhima humara sab apka tou hi hain aur aaj nahin tou kal apko hi yeh business sambhalna hain.''

R:''jii papa main isliye join karna chahti hun jis se apse sikh sakun.''

Sh:''off course beta kyun nahin. Aur vaise bhi meri beti tou super intelligent hain aise hi thode na usne apnein masters ke liye oxford university ki call thi.''

He said with a proud and samriti too smiled

S:''han riddhima bas hum isliye thoda hairan ho gaye ki abhi last week tou tumhare exam finish hue aur nikki ki bhi shadi hain tou socha tum abhi enjoy karna chahogi hum uske baad tumhe business join karne ko kehne hi vale the.''

R:''nahin mumma main abhi join karna chahti hun nikki ki help tou main office ke sath bhi kar sakti hun na.''

Sh:''are you sure beta tumhare best friend ki bhi wedding hain. Don't you think amaan naraz hoga ki us ki best friend ke pas uski wedding prepration ke liye bhi time kam hain.''

He asked as he was still in surprise that riddhima right now wants to join business when her best friend armaan is getting married. He and samriti though riddhima will join business after sometime. And hearing his name riddhima takes a deep breath as the memories from today in the mall get fresh in her mind.

R:''nahin papa aisa kuch nahin hain main manage kar lungi aur armaan ke paas tou sab hain aur vaise bhi jab us workholic ne office nahin choda tou main kyun na join karun.''

She replied with a finger cross thinking that now her dad wont ask her more questions. Shashank was going to say something but samriti shakes her head as she can sense the urgency in riddhima's voice and eyes. And as a mother she knows her dreadest fear has come true, seeing his wife shashank nods his head saying

Sh:''ok done riddhima you can join business from tomorrow 8.a.m. sharp.''

R:''thank you so much papa I love you.''

That brings a big smile on her lips and she hugged her papa and take out finally a sigh of relief.

R(in her heart):''armaan aakhirkar tumse dur jaane ke liye main pehla kadam utha hi liya. Par aab yeh kadam tumhare liye aur mere liye bahut zaruri ho gaya tha.''

She closed her eyes huggung still her papa feeling at little peace now.

Mallik Mansion

Armaan was sitting in his room with the key chain in his hands, the same key chain that riddhima gave him back but now without her name initial.

A:''tou aakhir meri riya ne mujhse dur honein ka faisla kar hi liya na. Main tou yeh bhi nahin keh sakta ki mujhe bahut bura lag raha hain yeh dekh kar, kyunki maine hi tou yeh karne ke liye tumhe mazbur kiya hain na riya. Par kya karun sach mein mere pas koi rasta nahin hain riya tumhari qasam riya agar mere haath mein hota na tou main tumhe kabhi khud se dur na jaane deta. Aur tum humesha kehti thi na tumhare bhagwan ji kabhi kuch galat nahin honein dete tou fir unhone humare saath itna galat kyun kiya. Mera chodo tum tou unki favourite ho na fir tumhare hisse mein dard kyun likha unhone? Par main sachi bataun tumhara uncle ka business join karne ka sunane kar mujhe bahut proud ho raha hai. Kahan main socha tha jab tum business mein aaogi I will mentor you with shashank uncle and dad. Par ab tou tumhare business join karne ka kaaran hi mujhse dur jaana hain. I wont blame you but i am proud of you for your strength.''

San:''hogi hi na armi aakhir tumhari riya jo thehri.''

Sanjana said with a smile on her face as she entered the room and armaan looked at her seeing her he wipe the tears from his eyes that were ready to roll on his cheeks. 

San:''ab mujhse apne aansun chupa rahe ho tum armi?''

She said while sitting beside him and armaan nods his head

A:''nahin sanjana bas kuch nahin tum yahan?''

San:''han bas muskaan se milne ayi thi tou socha apnein honein vale pati se bhi milti chalu.''

A:''sanjana please.''

San:''what please armaan ab yehi tou sach hain na ki hum shadi kar rahein hain.''

A:''sanjana sach tum janti ho yar.''

San:''han jaanti hun main sach tabhi tou keh rahi hun bas karo armaan aab bahut hua mat karo riddhima ko aur hurt.''

She said looking straight in his eyes

A:''tumhe kya lagta hain use hurt karne ka shownk hain mujhe. Tum jaanti bhi ho usko hurt karke main til til karke mar raha hun.''

He replied while moving his eyes from her gaze

San:''jaanti hun main tabhi keh rahi hun kyun kar ho tum au nandini aunty aise. Riddhima ko tumse dur karne ke liiye tum donow ne yeh jhuthi sagai ka drama kiya, maine tumhare liye ismein tumhara saath diya kyunki tum mere dost ho. Aur main jaanti hum jis ladki ko tum dilo jaan se chahte ho, jo tumhare jeene ki wajah hain usko agar tum khud se dur  kar rahe ho tou koi reason hoga. Par armaan ab bas yaar main nahin kar sakti yeh main us ladki ko aise marte hue yaar armaan she loves you so much.''

Sanjana said with frustration and pain in her voice, armaan looked at her. He knows riddhima is that kind of  person whom any one can love. Here sanjana tou know about her from armaan's talks during their MBA days in oxford university.

A:''jaanta hun sanju bahut pyaar karti hain meri riya mujhse tabhi tou yeh sab karna pada na jis se ki use khud se dur kar sakun. Nahin tou tum jaanti ho main, khair meri chodo mom jinke liye muskaan se pehle shayad riddhima aati hain unko riddhima ko takleef deni pad rahi hain.''

Sanjana sighed knowing armaan and nandini aunty loved her so much, if they decide this whole thing that means there is a big reason behind it. That's why she helped them in this while doing fake engagement with armaan

San:''jaanti hun armaan tabhi tumhara sath diya par kab tak yeh armaan.''

A:''bas sanjana kuch din aur uske bad main tumhare saath business project ke silsile mein humesha ke liye US chala jaunga, kabhi na aane ke liye aur tum bhi vahan jaakar Taj se shadi kar lena.''

He said as a matter of fact

San:''meri aur taj ki baat chodo tum humari shaadi tou ho hi jayegi. Par tum kya sach mein humesha ke liye jaane ki soch rahe ho armaan yeh mushkil nahin hoga tumhare liye.''

A:''bahut mushkil hain sanju mere liye yeh sab karna sabse dur jaana apnein parivar, apnein doston se aur apni riddhima se par mujhe yeh karna hain kyunki agar main yahan par raha tou kisi aur ke sath main kabhi aage badhne nahin vala meri zindagi mein sirf riddhima hain aur koi nahin hoga par mujhe dekh kar riddhima kabhi aage badhegi nahin aur yeh main honein nahin de sakta. Yahan apnein samne dekh kar riddhima sach jaan hi jaayegi aur jo use nahin pata chalna chahiye. Please sanju is se zayda aur kuch mat puchna mujhse main bata nahin aa paunga aur sanju jahan tumne itna sath diya bas kuch din aur please.''

He said with pain in his heart and hope in his eyes

San:'' off course you idiot i will be with you. But at the same time I am feeling very bad for you and riddhima.''

Armaan nods his head he has nothing to say to her.

Precap_ 

Armaan looked at riddhima as slapped him hard across his face.

Ishq leta hain kaise Imtihan

A:''mom dad ap chinta mat kijiye main aur riddhima ghar par hi hain aap  sab resort se bahar mat aayeyiega sab jagah paani bhara hain. shashank uncle aur samriti aunty se kahiye riddhima safe hain.''
