Arjun look at his surrounding where his best friend and his ETF family standing with an appreciative and grateful look. Arjun gulped some air then finally with a deep sigh, he signed the paper and close his eyes which brings flashes of his and Roshni's wedding and Roshni's smiling face.
Justice Arwind k. Singh took the paper from his hand and passed it to Arjun's right side where there was a girl sitting on a chair of registrar office next to Arjun weeping silently and shaking her head looking towards Arjun in negative.
Judge look at the girl and said "Ms.Mukherjee time is running out please sign the paper"
Everyone who till now giving appreciative looks towards Arjun now giving reassuring looks towards Riya. Shree put his hand on Riya's shoulder and whisper against her ear,
"Riya please don't cry.. sign krdo hum sab hain tumhare saath..And finally you are marrying to the man whom you love the most.. Riya hamara vishwas kro Mai chotu aur Rathod sir bhi yeh jante hain that Arjun Sir also loves you..Now have faith in your love and sign the paper don't worry we'll sort out everythings later. Please Riya."
Chotu also put his hand on her other shoulder and gives her an assuring nod. Riya hold the pen in her hand tightly and wipe her tears with other hand.
Taking a deep breath, she sign the content where it was written 'I, Riya Mukherjee hereby accept Arjun Suryakant Rawte as my legally wedded husband'. On reading the content fresh tears welled up in her eyes which is already swelled because of her continuous crying from five days. She remembers with heart what happened five days ago.
FLASHBACK
Ayesha and Riya left the dumpfounded LiSak in the room and went towards Arjun's room, LiSak were looking at the door of the room in shock when they saw shreetu enter in the room with an middle aged couple behind them with expressions mixture of worry and joy. LiSak look at each other then at Choree with questioning gaze as if asking 'who are they?'
Choree look at each other then Shree said "Liza Sakshi ye hai Mr and Mrs Mukherjee, Riya ke mom Dad. Uncle Aunty ye hamari team mates hain Sakshi and Liza."
LiSak said joining their hand together "oh Namaste uncle hello aunty "
Riya's parents nod their head then look here and there in search of something or maybe someone. Chotu understood and ask "Liza Sakshi, Riya kahan hai? Dikh nhi rhi hai? "
Shree too realized the absence of Riya n Ayesha so he too asked "Haan Ayesha bhi nhi dikh rhi. Kahan gye dono? And how's Riya now?"
LiSak look at each other then Liza said "wo Riya ab theek hai specky even hosh aane ke baad kaafi better thi. but.."
Shree asked "but? But what ?"
Sakshi said " but she gain her consciousness she was asking about Arjun again and again so when Ayesha told her about Arjun's condition Riya became very upset and usko iss condition mei itna stress lena allowed nhi hai isliye shayad uski baat maankar Ayesha Riya ko Arjun ke room tk legyi hai. As Riya was asking."
Riya's mom said "Kya Meri beti jo khud patient hai use AP logon ne kisi or ko dekhne bhej diya. Wo tou nadan aur bholi hai sbke Dard ko apna bnaaleti hai lekin Ap log ko tou samajhdari se kaam Lena tha. Usko iss condition mei jbki use rest krna chahiye kisi aur ko dekhne bhej diya jo ptaa nhi Riya ko Kuch samajhta bhi hai ya nhi. I don't believe this."
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Boomed a voice of Rathod little loud in the room. Everyone turn towards now opened door where Sam was standing little angry. When Sam's gaze turn towards the couple his face and voice soften a bit, as he asked little surprised "Mr and Mrs Mukherjee aplog yahan?" But next when he realized he again said correcting himself "oh ofcourse Riya se Milne aye honge haina? Sorry Maine apko pehle inform nhi kiya. Anyways Shree chotu where is Riya ? " Said while looking here n there.
"Sir Riya aur Ayesha Arjun Sir Ko dekhne Gyi hain. Humein bhi abi ptaa chlaa hai." Shree said with knowing look.
"Haan Sameer wo Riya zid kr rhi thi isliye Ayesha.." Sakshi added.
But Rathod cut her sentence with a nod and turn towards Riya's parents to explain them. But before he could start, Riya's Dad interrupt this time sayings angrily or can say spitting fire "What is this Rathod sahab humari beti itni injured hai uske baad bhi aplogo ne use kisi bhi aur ko dekhne bhej diya. What if Riya ki condition aur khraab hojaye? Uski health ki thori si bhi chinta hai aplogo ko ya koi bhi aur ho sirf wo important hai. Honge ye koi Arjun injured lekin Meri beti bohut weak bhi hai. Aplog ko uski tension bhi ya nhi?Huh?"
"Ek minute uncle I know Ap Riya ke liye worried hain but ap Arjun Sir ko Kuch nhi Keh sakte hain, hum unki bohut respect krte hai aur aaj agar Riya zinda aur Sahi salamat hai tou sirf unhi ki wajha se. So please unko Kuch mat kahiyega." Shree said a little agitated.
Riya's Dad frown at Shree's words and asked "Kya hua tha aaj? Tumhare kehne ka Kya Matlab hai ?"
Shree with a deep sigh told him approximately what happened after Sikander died and how they found Riya and how Arjun save her while he hurt his head.
But hearing this Riya's mom put hand on her mouth while her Dad palmed his face and shake his head in a looks which look like disgust. Seeing this Choree LiSak n Sam was shocked as they didn't know why Riya's parents were giving disgust looks. But they didn't got time to understand it as Riya's mom shout "where is Riya ? Call her right now. Humein usse abi baat krni hai bulaiye use."
Everyone got really worried now as they don't understand what happened to Riya's parents. But Rathod take immediate step as he start calling Ayesha while walking out of the room. He saw nurse of Arjun's room and ask her about Ayesha's whereabout. After three minutes Ayesha attend his call and tell him that they are at Arjun's room. He rushed towards them and saw Ayesha arguing with the wardboy to go inside. He asked her about Riya which she replied pointing towards Arjun's room. When Riya came outside on hearing hustle bustle he drag her with him saying in worried voice that there was a surprise for her (in mind he added 'not a pleasant surprise I think').
On reaching there Riya become happy as her gaze fall directly on her parents and she ran to hug them but only to be stopped by her mother hand. Riya sensed something is going to happen which wouldn't be good for her. She got negative vibes which she found was right the next second as her mother said "sorry we don't hug strangers."
This sentence broke Riya deeply as till now she was already blaming herself for Arjun's condition now this broke her completely. But still if she could still stand with this her father's next words completed that chance also as he added "We don't know who is this impure girl. We thought our Riya is alive but we were wrong she was dead. Ye hamari beti nhi hosakti chii.. ghinn aati hai humein tumse. Tum..."
"STOP IT . What the hell do you think you are saying ? Kaise maa baap hain aap sharm nhi aati apko ?" Rathod yell cutting Mr Mukherjee in mid as he couldn't be able to tolerate his accusations on Riya. Rathod continued "apki beti iss..." but he was cut by the loud screme of his team "SIRRR..!!! RIYAAA!!"
He turned and saw chotu was holding Riya who was till now unconcious.
He said immediately taking action "Shree call the doctor. Chotu use bed pe litao." Glaring furiously towards Mr n Mrs Mukherjee, He ask Sakshi to send them out from there. Shree brought Doctor and she ask them to leave. After 10 minutes of checking doctor came out and ask them "please I told you guys to not give her stress as she was already weaken because of her Xzora2 virus and the drug she was been given recently. Unka nervous system already over work kr rha hai for immune system aur ismei stress unki Jaan bhi lesakta hai. So please now be careful. Hum unhe koi anaesthesia nhi de sakte because unpr abi tak drug ka asar finish nhi hua hai. Isliye unhe Kuch der mei hosh aajaayega. So be careful." Saying so Doctor left.
Team entered the room after composing themselves from the shock and hatred which they were feeling for Riya's parents and saw Riya was trying to open her eyes and when she opened her eyes and saw her team she tried to sit but weakness didn't allow her so with the help of Ayesha she sat up. Rathod came near her and with holding her hand slightly he said " Riya please now relax aur kisi baat k baare mei mat socho.. we all are here right..your brother is with you so just relax. Tumhri ETF family hamesha tumhre Saath hai. Haina?"
Riya just nod her head lightly but next second she raise her eyes and look at Rathod and said with a crack voice "Sir can I? Please can I go to Arjun Sir.? Please Sir..!"
Rathod with a deep sigh nod his head and said "but promise me you won't stress or cry anymore." Riya nod fervently. And went back to Arjun's room while holding his good hand she weep silently then putting her head on Arjun's arm she closed her eyes to relax them.
