PART 16

Arman heard some noise from outside. He walked out and heard that those noises were coming from kitchen. He went there worriedly. He found ridhima angrily placing the saucepan on the stove. She was going to make tea and she was cursing herself,

"meri hi ghalati hai. Na main arman ko such batati na wo mujhe yahan lata. Sb meri ghalati hai"

"ridhima??" arman called her. she startled and turned to see him. She turned her face away and said,

"arman chale jao yahan se. mujhe akela chord do!"

"ridhima kiya hua??"he asked when ridhima took the pot of tea from the shelf getting close to her. she stepped back angrily and said,

"kiya hua!!?? Arman kiya hua!!??? Ye tum muhse puch rahe ho k kiya hua?? Tum nahi jante k kiya hua mujhe??" she had started screaming, "mujhe yahan sb se door le ae apne pas or pooch rahe ho k kiya hua?? Wahan meri maa ne ek choti si shart rakhi hai mujhe maaf karne ki or tum mujhe use poora nahi karne de rahe or pooch rahe ho k mujhe kiya hua??"

"ridhima wo choti si shart nahi hai, tumhari zindagi ka faisla le rahi hain tumhari maa wo bhi tumhari marzi k baghair" said arman calmly.

"to meri zindagi ka faisla hai na!! unko poora haq hai meri zindagi ka faisla lene ka. Jb mujhe koi problem nahi unkay faislay se to tumhain kia problem hai??"

"mujhe problem ye hai ridhima k tumhari zindagi ab sirf tumhari nahi hai. Tum ne khud mujhe apni zindagi k sath jorda hai or tum ab istarha se mujhe apne ap se alag nahi kar sakti…"

"kar sakti hun arman!! main kabhi bhi kisi ko bhi apne se alag kar sakti hun"

"to koshish kar k dekh lo. I wouldn't let you do that" said arman loosing his patience.

"really??"

"really"

"fine then. Agar mujhe meri maa ki pasand se nahi rehna to mujhe rehna hi nahi hai!!" she picked up the knife from the counter and was about to cut her wrist when arman shouted her name and threw the knife away,

"RIDHIMA YE KIYA KAR RAHI HO??"

"marne do mujhe arman!!..." she threw the crockery down from the counter and was crying now.

"ridhima listen to me!!" arman tried to hold her but she wouldn't stop.

"ridhima meri baat suno!!"

"mujhe kuch nahi sunna arman!!!"

"SHUT UP RIDHIMA!! JUST SHUT UP!!" arman held her face from behind her neck and entangled his fingers in her hair. She immediately stopped screaming and looked in his eyes that had so much pain in them.

"tumhain kiya lagta hai mujhe ye sb karna acha lagta hai?? Tumhain tumhare apnon se door kar k mujhe khushi milti hai?? Nahi ridhima! Shayad mujhse ziada tumhari khushi or koi nahi chahega per is waqt tum sirf bewakoofi kar rahi ho. Ridhima…." He caressed her cheeks with his thumbs,tears were glistening in his eyes. He said helplessly,

"ridhima I love you and you love me too. Phir tum hum dono ki zindagi k sath kiyun khel rahi ho?? Chord do ye zid ridhima please."

"mom chali jayegi arman" she started crying bitterly and held arman's hands pleadingly.

"kahin nahi jayengi wo" he tried to assure her.

"arman mom chali jayengi agar men ne unki baat nahi maani to"

"ridhima I promise wo kahin nahi jayengi or hum dono k relation ko accept bhi karengi" he said to her while she suddenly hugged him while crying bitterly. Arman hugged her back and caressed her hair and kissed her head.

Ridhima had taken her pain killers in the morning so she didn't realized when she fell asleep in arman's arms. Arman realized after a while when ridhima's sobbing stopped that she had fallen asleep. He picked her up and took her to the bedroom. He placed her gently on her bed. He was so close to her that he didn't wanted to leave her. He saw her beauty closely and gave a small smile while caressed her hair and her face. She was fast asleep. Arman sat down beside her caressing her hair and said to himself,

"Bas kuch dino ki baat hai ridhima. Phir sb theek hojayega" and then he stood up and went outside after putting blanket over her and kissed her forehead.

-----------------------------

"shashank, kuch pata chala ridhima ka??" padma asked while anjali, muskaan, rahul and atul glanced at eachother and then towards shashank.

"nahi. Ab tk kuch pata nahi chala!" said shashank casually.

"pata nahi kiya hogaya hai meri beti ko?? Kahan hogi kis haal main hogi wo??" said padma and shashank lost his temper,

"ye tum keh rahi ho padma?? Why do you care k wo kahan hai? Kaisi hai?"

"shashank wo humari beti hai"

"mujhe to kabhi kabhi shaq hi hota hai k tum uski maa ho!! Aisa sulook nahi karti maa apni beti k sath"

"shashank main ne aisa kiya kar diya??"

"OH PLEASE STOP ACTING SO INNOCENT PADMA tum ache se janti ho tum ne kiya kiya. Tum janti thi k ridhima or arman ek doosray se pyaar karte hain phir bhi tum ne ridhima ko majboor kiya k wo tumhari pasand se shadi kare"

"main uski behtari k liye soch rahi hun shashank"

"do pyaar karne walon ko alag kar k tum kaunsi behtari karna chahti ho?? Or wo ridhima, bechari itni bholi hai k tumhari baat manne ko raazi bhi hogayi k tum usko maaf kar dogi"

"han to wo meri beti hai or mujhse pyaar karti hai to definitely meri baat manegi na"

"phir chahe wo uski marzi ho ya na ho?? Tumhain koi fark nahi pardta??"

"wo bachi hai. Apni zindagi k faislay lena usay nahi ata shashank!"

"wo bachi nahi hai padma for God's sake!! Apni behan ko or apne apko akele sambhala hai usne humare baghair or tum kehti ho k wo apne faislay khud nahi le sakti"

"shashank mujhe is baray main ab or koi baat nahi karni" said padma and she walked out.

Atul and rahul stepped forward and made shashank sit on the couch. They placed their hands on his shoulder while he held his head in his hand. After a while he raised his head and said to anjali,

"anjali beta, arman ko phone karo abhi or kaho k jb tk hum khud usko na kahen wapas anay ko tb tk wo ridhima ko le kar wapas na aye"

"yes dad" said anjali and she went inside with muskaan.

"main apni beti ki zindagi istarha barbaad nahi hone dunga" he said to atul and rahul.

"uncle sabar kijiye sb theek hojayega. Aunty is waqt sirf apni zid per hain or kuch nahi" said rahul.

"yes dad. Mom bhi arman or ridhima ko accept kar lengi". Said atul.

"I hope so beta. I certainly hope so" said shashank taking a deep breath.

Meanwhile anjali and muskaan went to their room where anjali told muskaan to call up arman. muskan called him when he came out of ridhima's room after closing the door. Arman picked up the phone.

"hello muskan!"

"hi arman."

"kiya chal raha hai??"

"kuch khaas nahi hai yaar. Sb waisa hi hai ab tk to"

"to ab??" arman asked

"ab ye k uncle ne kaha hai k jb tk won a kahen k tum or ridhima yahan ajao tb tk tum dono nahi asakte"

"matlab??"

"matlab saaf hai dhakkan! K uncle chahte hain k pehle padma aunty raazi hojayen or phir tum dono wapas ao."

"hmm I got it"

"acha suno. Ridzy kaisi hai??"

"she's fine. Sorahi hai"

"ziada pareshan hai??"

"don't worry main hun na. sb sambhal lunga. Wahan baqi sb kaise hain?? anjali, atul, Minnie, gappu or rahul"

"sb theek hain. Minnie to kal mere or anjali bhabhi k pas ro rahi thi tumhain or ridzy ko yaad kar k."

"wo hai tumhare as pas??"

"nahi. school gayi hai"

"oh main ne socha agar pas hoti to usse baat kar leta."

"it's ok. Main karwa dungi tumhari baat usse."

"or han suno ye ulte time pe call na kiya karo. Abhi to thank God ridhima so rahi thi warna agar usko shak pard gaya to hum sb ko ek hi goli se maar daalay gi"

"tumhain mazaak soojh raha hai?? Acha hai sb se pehle to tumhain hi urdana chahiye" muskan giggled and anjali said,

"let me talk to him muskaan"

"ye sure. Arman ye anjali bhabi se baat karo" said muskan and handed the phone to anjali.

"hey arman"

"hi anjali"

"ridzy kaisi hai?? Uski tabiyat to theek hai??"

"han wo bilkul theek hai. Bas thordi thaki hui thi isliye sogayi."

"oh waise arman uska thorda khayal rakhna"

"anjali kaisi baatain kar rahi ho? Thorda nahi main bohat ziada khayal rakhunga"

"nahi nahi I mean usko neend aye to foran sula dena"

"kiya matlab??"

"matlab ye k agar ridzy ki neend uskay control se baahar hogayi to wo khud se sonay nahi jayegi hi nahi and ye especially tb bhi hota hai jb wo bohat thak jaye and tb wo ek dum pagalon wali harkatain karti hai"

"kaisi??"arman asked confused
"like jokes maarne lag jati hai and bohat ziada hansti jati hai ya gaanay gaati hai"

"oh anjali please I know ridhima atleast aisi harkatain nahi kar sakti"

"try at your risk arman and she'll be difficult to control. Honestly she acts like a drunk"

"haha I'll see to that as well. Don't worry" said arman laughingly.

"arman just take care of her and your's as well."

"I will anjali."

"bye."

"bye" arman hung up and went inside the kitchen to clean up all the mess that ridhima had created. Suddenly he found blood on the broken pieces of cup. He took them in his hands and worriedly ran inside the room. He opened the room,

"ridhima!" he called her name and ran towards her bed. He took off her blanket and examined her hands. She had a cut on her palm because of that broken cup. It was bleeding heavily. He brought the first aid box and bandaged her hand. He closed his eyes and took her hand in his hand and soothed it with his lips.

"I'm sorry ridhima. I'm really sorry" he said and he didn't move again from there. Instead he sat down on the floor and laid his head on her side while holding her hand. He also fell asleep.

Ridhima woke up at about 3pm. She opened her eyes and looked at the clock to saw the time. She was surprised that for how long she had been asleep. She turned her head and saw arman asleep on the floor and his head was touching her arm. He had her hand in his hand. She smiled at him. She thought he looked cute while sleeping. She raised her hand hesitatingly to his hair and caressed his hair. She caressed his hand with her thumb and noticed that her hand was bandaged. She remembered she had broken crockery and she misbehaved with arman. she felt guilty for her behavior and yet here he was staying with her to see if she was fine. She raised her self by placing her elbow on the bed trying not to disturb him and she bent forward to kiss his head when he suddenly woke up by her movement. She starteled and moved back yet sitting. Arman raised his head and saw her watching him.

"arman…i… I'm sorry"

"kis liye??"

"wo… subha ko main ne… tumse misbehave kiya tha… to…"

"ssshhh" arman placed his finger on her lips and said nothing. Even she didn't say anything. They both looked into eachother's eyes. Arman slowly raised his hand and put her hair behind her ears that were falling forward. Ridhima nervously moved back and said,

"hum… hum kafi dair se yahan hain… I think… tumhain bhi… bhook lagi hogi… main kuch bana deti hun"

"chalo bahar chal k beth jao. Main khana lata hun"

"bahar se laogay??"

"nahi. Khud banaonga. Itna time tumhare sath reh kar itna to seekh hi gaya hun k khana kaise banta hai" he smiled and went out while ridhima went to change her clothes. She walked out of her room and found arman already waiting for her on the table. He stood up when he saw her coming. He moved back the chair for her and she sat there. She still was feeling the guilt about misbehaving with him.

Arman served her and she saw that it was pasta. She smiled.

"muskurate huay achi lag rahi ho per kiyun muskura rahi ho??"

"it's pasta"

"han to!" said arman getting her point.

"tumhare hote huay main ne sirf ek ya do baar hi pasta banaya hai arman"

"matlab??"

"matlab tumhain sirf pasta banana aya hai??"

"nahi mujhe chae bhi banani ati hai or fried agg and omelete bhi ata hai or fruit salad bhi ata hai."

"very good" said ridhima.

She was about to eat when her hand hurt when she held the fork. She tried to adjust it in her fingers but they were hurting. Arman saw her and stood up. He came to her and sat on the chair next to her.

"main khilata hun"

"no it's ok. Main kha lungi"

"ridhima!!" arman held her hand when she again tried to eat with her fork. He gave her a bite with his hands. They were eating when ridhima thought for a while and asked him,

"errr… arman… ek baat puchun??"

"pucho!!"

"hum ghar kab jayenge??" arman looked down and thought for a while and replied,

"jb tum apni zid chord dogi"

"arman main kisi zid pe nahi hun ok!" said ridhima strictly.

"fine per abhi ghussa mat karo or khana kha lo"

"mujhe nahi khana. Pehle mujhse promise karo k tum mujhe ghar le k jaogay" she turned her face away.

"obviously I promise main tumhain ghar le k jaonga"

"arman kab le k jaogay??"

"you know that already ridhima"

"per main…"

"ridhima I don't want any arguments on this. Ok. Tum ne kal se kuch nahi khaya Ab chup chap khana khao" said arman.

"fine. Phir main ne bhi keh diya k mujhe nahi khana" she folded her arms on her chest and looked ahead.

"ridhima!!" arman called her lovingly. Her heart melted but she didn't show it and remained quiet.

"ridhima please kha lo"

"nahi" said ridhima and she stood up from the chair but arman held her hand.

"fine jb tk tum khana nahi khaogi main bhi tumhain yahan se nahi jane dunga or tumhain mere samne bethna pardega"

"arman! hath chordo"

"nahi" said arman beginning to smile and ridhima saw this.

"arman mera hath chordo warna main…"

"dhamki?? Arman ko dhamki?? Warna kiya han??" arman said with a naughty smile and ridhima stayed quiet. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Arman smiled and winked at her.

she was holding his hand with which he was holding her other hand. She looked down and looked at his hand. She suddenly realized that she was holding his hand so she suddenly left his hand. He relaxed back on the chair holding her hand,

"Soch lo. Raat tk yaheen bethna pardega mere sath agar khana nahi khaya to"

Ridhima struggeled to let her hand go but couldn't. Finally she gave up and sat down after stamping her foot.

"That's like meri ridhima" she shot him a glare while he fed her and she ate quietly.

It was evening when arman came back in her room.

"ridhima I want to talk to talk to you"

"I don't want to talk to you"

"but I do"

"but I don't" ridhima placed the book she was reading aside and stood up. She was about to walk out when arman held her hand.

"hath chodo" arman left her hand.

"or yahan beth jao" ridhima pointed at the chair, "or yaheen bethe raho"

"per tum…" arman was about to say when he saw her going outside.

"or mera peecha mat karna" she pointed her finger at him and she walked out.

"yar isko kidnap main ne kiya hai ya isnay mujhe kidnap kiya hai? Im confused" he said to himself and made a face, "isko to dekhna padega" he walked outside quietly without making any noise and he stepped downstairs. He heard noise from the kitchen and he peeked inside. He saw she was cooking something. Ridhima was about to take out something from the cupboard when she saw his reflection in the glass of the cupboard. She turned around angrily and said,

"main ne mana kiya tha na k mera peecha mat karna"

"per ye tum kiya kar rahi ho?"

"zeher bana rahi hun. Ab jao" she said and closed the door. Arman stepped back and shook his head and walked to the window.

"ridhima!" he called her baby calls his mother lovingly. He smiled when ridhima looked back at him with a glare and he waved his hand to her.

"tum baaz nahi aogay na" she closed the window as well.

"oye hoye ab kiya karun?? Bahar se!" he snapped his fingers and ran outside. When arman didn't disturbed her again she started to turn back. She walked slowly towards the window but didn't saw him, then she opened the door slowly and peeked outside but he wasn't there,

"chala gaya??" she said to herself a little disappointed.

"nahi!!"arman replied happily jumping up from the window that lead outside the house.

Ridhima screamed with fright

"AHHHHHHHH"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

and arman screamed in her fright and he jumped inside from outside window to the counter of the kitchen.

"CHUP KARO!! TUMHAIN KIYA HUA??" ridhima screamed keeping her hand on her chest.

"ARRAY TUMHAIN KIYA HUA??" arman asked holding his knees close to his chest.

"tum jo istarha andar aogay to darungi hi na"

"or tum jo istarha chillaogi to main bhi to darunga na"

"itna dar lagta hai to nahi lana tha na mujhe yahan" she placed her hands on her waist.

"tumhain yahan nahi ana tha to meri baat maan leti na" he jumped down from the counter and he placed his hands on his waist as well.

"tumhari baat to pagal Mante hain"

"to tum bhi pagal ban jao na" arman smiled cutely and joined his hands.

"arman tum!" ridhima pointed her finger at him.

"ridhima main!" arman imitated her.

"tum na" said ridhima

"main na"arman followed her

"yahan se"

"yahan se"

"nikal jao"

"nikal jaon" said arman pointing at the door but stood there.

"nikal jao" ridhima said loudly.

"acha baba nikal jata hun per tum kb aogi"

"tumhare liye nahi aongi main" said ridhima and she walked back to the stove.

"ana to padega" said arman with a naughty smile and he passed a flying kiss to her when she had her back to him and he walked out.

"muskan sun na!" said rahul when they both were sitting alone in the balcony and muskan was reading a book.

"sun to rahi hun" she replied without taking her eyes off.

"wo main soch raha tha…"

"tu socha mat kar rahul. Waise hi chota sa to dimagh hai usko bhi waste kar deta hai tu"

"tu sun to le"

"acha bol"

"ye kitaab side pe rakh" rahul took the book from her hands and placed it on his laps.

"acha ab bol"

"dekh arman or ridhima to jahan bhi hongay khush hongay…"

"array teri baton se yaad aya k arman ne ye to bataya hi nahi k wo ridzy ko le k gaya kahan hai! Main abi usay fone karti hun" she was about to get up when rahul held her hand and pulled her back on the chair,

"pehli baat usne kaha tha k usko ulte time pe phone na Karen or doosri baat tujhe isse kiya lena k wo usay kahan le k gaya hai. Yar uska secret hai na!" said rahul

"tu bhi pagal hi hai. Acha jaldi bol"

"main soch raha tha k agar jistarha arman or ridz gaye hain ustarha agar hum bhi… kahin chale jayen…to?"

"kiyun humain kisi keeday ne kaata hai k aenwaen bhag paden? Un dono ko to bhagana humari majboori thi or humain kiya pata tha k ridzy istarha uncle aunty ko bata jayegi k ye masla khada hojayega…"

"array yar tu ghuma phira k baat ko unpe hi kiyun le jati hai. Uncle ko pata chal gaya na wo ab handle kar lenge. Main teri or meri baat kar raha hun"

"tu apni or meri baat kiyun kar raha hai rahul? Koi faida nahi hai."

"kiyun?"

"dekh! na teri kisi se shadi horahi hai na meri. Tu mujhse pyaar karta hai or main tujhse. Na teri mummy ko mujhse problem hai or na meri mummy ko to phir hum kiyun bhagain"

"array yar tu sara din arman ridz ki baatain karti rehti hai ya phir anjali bhabhi k sath lagi rehti hai. Main kiya karun?"

"dekh kuch hi dino ki to baat hai. Sb theek hojayega to phir hum ek doosre k sath rahenge. Theek hai?"

"sath matlab tum mujhse shadi kare gi na?"

"karungi na" said muskaan assuringly.
