Part 12
" i thought u were my friend ridhima!!"
a tear dropped fom his eyes..
he had never expected her to do what she had done...
not only propose she had forgotten how important this friendship was to him
why ridhima why ?..
he even wondered today..
high school - a place where we just take things too seriously... and then we say later it was a simpler life...
even though he and diya broke up after a year when he met gunjan...he could never mend things with ridhima...
he did want to talk to her...
but she having feelings for him...didnt allow him to...
and today was her 'day..
every year he would pick up the phone and decide to wish her
break the ice...
after all she was her bestfriend and no one was able to replace her
she had left a hole in his heart...
he made himself believe that ridhima would have gotten over her feelings and wanted to be only frienz again
but something always stopped him
as everytime he saw her number on his phone
his parting with ridhima flashed in front of his eyes
the way she broke down ...
the way he left her like that
yes a guy and girl could be frinz if only u knew where to draw the line
ridhima crossed it...but samrat would never
she was his one and only best frien
and in spite of everything after 5 years he stilll felt the same...
but today something urged him to click on the dial button...
something told him it was time...and he finally pressed the green button
-----------------------------------
ridz's phone rang...
somewhere she wished it was armaan...
somewhere she was waiting for his call...
and it was her b'day!
few yrs back there was only one guy who would call exactly at 12...
it was samrat but not anymore...
but an unkown number flashed on her cell
she picked up...maybe he was calling from another number...
"hello...who is this?"
"hello...pehchaana?"
and it all stopped for a moment
it wasn't armaan...
it was the voice which was embedded in her memory...
all those calls spent on trying to study together on phone...all those problem hearing and solving sessions...which would lead nowhere ..and every time she felt like crying...she would call to very same person..."SAMRAT...?"
"chalo shukr hai pehchaani to"
"tumne ...----kai---"
her voice started breaking
"happy b'day ridhima...sorry itne saalon se i couldnt..."
"hw did u get my number??"
"jitna bhi badal lo..i have my sources"
they shared an easy laugh...
and then silence again...
it was hard...to believe that the guy she could talk limitless too ...she couldn't find even few words...
she had never confronted him after that day
she had never talked to him
and neither he tried...
"thanxx" .. that's all she managed to say...
"i am sorry ridz...i know i over reacted..."
"noo---- samrat---"
"stop stammering... i m nt a stranger.."
the old tone of samrat was back
and suddenly it felt as if those 5 years had disappeared ..
the awkwardness was gone
what she had with samrat was true friendship..
she knew it after few yrs that she had messed it up...
and all pain was washed away...
they continued talking
it was 1 am...now...
"i am sorry samrat for everything..."
"that was the 1000nd time u said that...and i am sorry tooo"
"u r the only best friend i had and i ruined it"
"i could have called before...but i let it get ruined"
"i am jus glad we cleared everything...thanxxx for calling..."
"ufff...so much formality...milo mjhe tum...will beat u up..."
somewhere ridhima smiled...
she finally gt the friend she had lost all these years and somewhere she knew that what she felt for armaan was definitively love...
"hey u there"
" yh me here...samrat..."
"happy b'day once again ...gift kya chahiye"
" u already gave me the best i could get"
"u shud sleep...doctor!"
"u shud tooo"
"goodnyt...sam.."
"gudnyt...ridz"
as ridhima kept the phone...
sill trying to recollect what had happened...
as if all her wounds had disappeared...
all her pain washed away...
and suddenly her fone beeped
1 msg received
she opened it
"hi...armaan here.. happy b'day...may god bless you gnyt"
it was already the best b'day ever...and it had just started
she slept peacefully...unlike the odr nights
she knew if things had got mended with samrat...which she had never imagined would...
everything else will also fall into place...
if she and armaan were meant to be together they would be...
...
armaan paced up and down...
unlike ridz...he didnt have any reason to sleep...
he wanted to tell her his feelings..wanted to be by her side...
but the way she had got scared forced him not to...
what was she afraid of?...
as the nite passed armaan cudnt get any sleep..
he was used to it by now...
after the tour armaan and ridhima had hardly talked...
he kept wondering but had no answers.
...
ridhima got up with a smile...
she knew it would be a great day...
samrat's call had just made things easier
she felt lighter at heart...
and the only person on her mind...Armaan...
...
ridhima ridhima...
thats all he thought...
he looked at her reply for his wish
"hi...thanxx a lot!!..god bless u too..gdnyt :)"
he smiled...he wanted to see her ...
he got ready for college...
...
"hi nupur"
"hey Ridz...i called u at nyt bt the call was on waiting for so long and then i dozed off...btw who called?"
"oh actually..."
"armaan?????"
"no nooo! samrat called"
nupur's expression went from shock to blank to shock again
she was at loss of words
ridz explained everything to nupur
but nupur was still at shock...
they headed to class
armaan sat at the back bench...
he gave one of his killer smiles...
ridz so wanted to go and sit beside him ...
but always something stopped...
but today she felt as if she was cut loose from something she has tied to..
some times there are things we wait for but somewhere we always feel that its never gonna happen and when they do finally...the feeling cant be put in words
she ever thought the pain she had been carrying all these would be washed away in one night and the world will be a different place again..as if in a second she had woken up from a long painful dream...
it was a reflex
she turned and looked at armaan and as if he was listening to her heart ..he looked up from his desk and gave her a smile that said it all...
and ridhima's heart skipped a beat
...
