Here is part 5. I know that I posted it is very late, but I am really sorry for the delay. I had really big personal problems in my life because of which I was a bit disturbed. Don't worry I am not going to bug you telling you about my problems. This part is really long. It is so long that I had to split it into 2 parts. I hope it makes up for the delay. Enjoy reading and sorry if it is boring.
PART 5
Recap : Armaan meets padma(the address given to him by ridhima's friend) and finds out that Ridhima is not there. Now he dosent know what to do and where to find Ridhima. Raj still following him.
Armaan (crying)ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ : Ridhima!! Ridhima!!
Padma : kya hua beta? Tum ro kyu rahe ho? Aur Ridhima ko kya hua??
But Armaan was not listening her. He is still lost in ridhima's thoughts.
Padma understood that Armaan is in no position to answer her. She thought that it would be beter to ask Armaan to stay back tonight.
Padma makes Armaan get up. Tum plz rona band karo. Sab kuch thik hojaye ga.
Armaan : kuch thik nahi hoga. Ridhima mujhe chodkar chali gaye. Ab kabhi nahi aayegi.ðŸ˜
Padma : Mujhe yakeen hi ki jaldi sab kuch thik ho jaye ga. Tumhe Ridhima zaroor milegi. Beta tum aaj raat ke liye yahi ruk jao. Hum Ridhima ke bare me kal baat karenge.
And before Armaan could protest, padma took him to a room.
Padma : tum fresh ho jao. Mai tumhare liya khana lati hoon.
Armaan reluctantly went to the washroom and got fresh up. He wanted to take his bag which he kept near his bike. So he was coming out.
Now let's see what raj is doing.😉
Raj came upto padma's place following Armaan. Armaan parked his bike and went inside. Raj parked his bike a little far and he was observing the place and Armaan's bike. After some time he saw a thief trying to steal Armaan's bag which was locked to the bike.
Raj (to himself) : mai subah se is bike ka picha kar raha hoon aur tu ab aake is bike ko churana chata hi kya??😡 Is bike pe sirf mera haq hi😡. Ab dekh mai kya karta hoon. He goes near Armaan's bike.
Raj to thief : tu yaha kya kar raha hi?😡?
Thief : dikhta nahi hi kya? Is bag ko churane ki kosish kar raha hoon😡.
Raj : chod is bag ko. Ye bag mera hi.😡
Thief : gives him a i-don't-think-so look. Ye tumhara to nahi lagta. Ab tu mera rasta se hat.
Raj : tu aisa nahi manega. He gives one punch to the thief and pushes him hard so that the thief might run away.
But the thief didn't run away.
Thief : tu mujhe mare ga? Ab dekh mai tumhara kya haal karunga.😡
The thief found a rod. So he started hitting raj with the rod.
Raj : are bahut zoor se lagrahi hi yaar. Chood mujhe. When the thief didn't stop beating Raj started shouting for help.
Hearing noises outside, padma came outside along with some other ladies.
Seing many people coming the thief decided to run away. Raj tried to catch the thief but he ran away hitting raj on his head with the rod.
Padma came to help raj seeing him beaten up. They helped raj to get up. They took raj to one or the empty rooms. Padma bandaged his hand and his head which were bleeding. Padma thought that raj saw trying to prevent the thief from stealing the bag and in the process he got beaten up.
Padma to raj : tumne is bag ko bachane keliye us chor se ladne kiya na. Bahut chot lagi tumhe. Tum thodi der keliye aaram karo. Mai tumharliye dawayi bhejti hoon.
Padma saw Armaan coming out of his room.
Padma : Armaan beta, kaha jarahe ho?
Armaan : mai apni bag lene jar aha hoon.
Padma gives Armaan's bag to him and tells him that a thief was trying to steal his bag and raj saved his bag and he got beaten up in the process.
Padma : beta tum us raj ko ek baar thanks zaroor boldena.
Armaan : thik hi ma.
Armaan goes to see raj but finds him sleeping. He goes back to his room.
Padma asks a lady if she has given food and medicines to raj. The lady says that she had put the food and medicines near the bed, but raj was sleeping.
She goes to raj's room to see if raj has taken the medicines.
Raj tries to eat food but he couldn't eat it properly as his hand was hurting. Padma comes into the room and sees raj struggling to have his food.
Padma to raj : ye plate mujhe do mai tumhe khilati hoon.
Raj : koi baat nahi hi maaji. Mai khud khalunga.
Then he realizes that he called padma maaji. So raj asks padma ' kya mai aap ko maaji bulasakta hoon?
Padma : zaroor bulasakte ho. Par ek sharat par. Aaj mai tumhe khana khilavungi.
Raj smiles and nods his head. 😊
Padma feeds raj. Raj was soo touched by padma's affection. He was an orphan had a rough child hood. He never had anyone to call his own. In his whole life no one had ever asked him if he ate or not, if he was ok or not. He was having mixed emotions of happiness, sadness, fear. He was soo happy to experience padma's care😃. Sad thinking about his bad childhood. He feared knowing that this would not last long😔. He had tears in his eyes seeing padma's affection.
Padma : kya hua beta. Mirchi lagi kya? Yelo pani pilo. She made him drink water.
After dinner she gave him medicines.
Padma : jab tak tum puri tarah se thik nahi hojate tum yahi par reh sakte ho.
Raj : par maji mai to thik hoon. Mai kal hi chali javunga. Mai aap ko aur takleef nahi dena chata hoon.
Padma : ma kehte ho aur takleef ki baat karte ho. Mujhe to khushi hogi. Agar tum yaha rahoge to mujhe lage ga kit um sach much mujhe ma samajte ho.
Raj was touched by her kindness😃ðŸ˜. No one had ever been so kind with him all his life.
Padma : ab tum sojao. Tumhe aaram ki zarurat hi.
Padma felt a special bond with raj. She felt that he was so close to her heart.
On the other hand raj was very happy with padma.😃
Raj to himself : ye kitne achi hi. Agar mujhe bachpan mai aise ma milti to mai kabhi chor nahi banta😔. Man karta hi ki hamesha yahi par reh javu.
After some time padma comes to Armaan's room with food. She notices that Armaan is in deep thoughts.
Padma : Armaan. Armaan!! Then she shakes him to bring him into this world.
Armaan : ha. Aap kuch kehrahe the kya?
Padma : tum Ridhima ke bare soch rahe ho kya?
Armaan nods his head.
Padma : tum use payar karte ho??
Armaan says yes with his eyes which have tears.ðŸ˜
Padma : Ridhima bhi tumhe pyaar katihi na?
Armaan: he gives a sarcastic smile.
Padma 😕: beta, agar koi baat hi to tum mujhe batasakte ho. Mai tumhari maa jise hoon.
He looks into padma's eyes which have kindness and effection. He feels that he can share his feelings with padma. Also he knew that padma definitely knows more about Ridhima than him. So he thought that may be telling her will not only reduce the burden in his heart but also helps him in finding his Ridhima.
Armaan : pehle to mujhe laga that ki Ridhima bhi mujhse utna hi pyaar karti hi jitna mai usse pyaar karta hoon. Par ab mujhe samajh me aaya ki mai kitna galat tha. Mai hi pagal tha jo hamesha uske peche bhagta tha. Mujhe shak(doubt) hi ki wo mujh se pyaar bhi karti hi ya nahi.
Padma : beta, Ridhima bhi tumse pyaar karti hi. Pichle baar jab tum dono yaha aye the tub mai tumdono ke aankho me ekdoosere keliye pyaar dekhi thi. Itna hi nahi Ridhima ne khud mujhe batayi thi ki wo tumse pyaar karti thi. Wo mujhse jhoot kyu bolegi? Wo sach me tumse bahut pyaar karti hi beta.
Armaan : agar wo mujhse pyaar karti hi to wo mujhe istarah mujhe choodkar kyu chaligaye? Maine Ek chotisi si galiti kiya aur uskeliye bhi mafi maang chuka hoon. Par vo to mera koi bhi baat suni hi nahi. Gusseme aake maine ek baat kya kehdi wo to mujhe choodkar chaligaye. Uske liye to uski hospital, uski patients aur uski social activities hi sabkuch hi. Uske zindagi mai mere liye koi ahmiyat(importance) hi nahi hi. Mai hi pagal tha jo hamesha uske peche bhagta tha. Agar wo mujhse sach me pyaar karti to istarah mujhe choodkar kabhi nahi jati.
Padma : beta, kya tumhe sach me lagta hi ki Ridhima tumse pyaar nahi karti? Kya tumhe yakeen hi ki galti sirf Ridhima ki hi? kya jokuch bhi hua tha usme tumhara koi galti nahi thi? Agar aise baat hi to phir tum Ridhima ko dhoondne ke liye yaha tak kyu aaye?
Armaan was silent. He knew that he was mainly responsible for what ever happened that night. He knew that he should not have said all that to her that day and he also knew that Ridhima still loves him. But he is too angry on Ridhima for leaving him. He also didn't like what Ridhima said to him that night and he couldn't accept her words.
Padma : mai Ridhima ko achi tarahse janti hoon. Wo jaldbazi me koi fisla nahi leti. (She will never take decisions in a hurry.) Tum ye mat sochna ki mai Ridhima ki tarafdari kar rahi hoon. Mai janti hoon ki Ridhima annjane maibhi kisi ko hurt nahi karsakti. (Ridhima can never hurt any one even unknowingly.) Wo to kisiko hurt karne ke bare me soch bhi nahi sakti.
Padma : Mujhe ye nahi pata hi kit um dono ke beech mai kya hua aur kyu hua, par mujhe itna zaroor pata hi ki isme sari galti Ridhima ki nahi hosakti.
Armaan knows that padma is right. He knows that Ridhima can never even think of hurting anyone. But his ego was not letting him accept what Ridhima said to him about their relation. He was thinking that had done a small mistake but he dosent know how big mistake it was.
Padma : chalo ab tum in sab bato ko chodo aur ye khana khalo.
She gives the plate to Armaan and asks him to eat.
Armaan : mujhe bhook nahi hi. Mujhe kuch nahi khana. (I don't want to eat anything)
Padma : Tum bahut tired dikh rahe ho. Tujhe to khana khana chahiye. kisi aur ka gussa khane pe nahi dhikhate.
Armaan : par mujhe bhook sach nahi hi ma.
Padma : Tum udaas bhitnese ya phir khana nahi khane se Ridhima thodi na milegi. Mujhe patahi ki shayad tumhe bhook nahi hi. Lekin tumhe energy ki zarurat hi aur iskeliye khaka khana zaruri hi. Ab bacho ki tarah zid karna choddo aur chup chap khana khalo. Apne liye na sahi kum se kum mere liye to khana khalo. Agar tu nahi khavoge to mujhe bahut bura lage ga.
Padma asked soo effecionately that Armaan eats his food without any further protests.
Padma : Aur mai tumse ek baat kehna chati hoon. In any relation problems come mainly because of ego clashes. That's why to make a relation strong and problem-free we should never bring egos into it. As far as possible we have to try and avoid ego in our relations. Hum jisse pyaar karte hi uske saari galtiya maaf kardete hi. Tum to Ridhima se pyaar karte ho na? Isiliye agar tumhe ye lagta hi ki Ridhima ne galti ki bhi, to tumhe uski galti maaf kardeni chahiye.
(Since you love Ridhima even if u think whatever happened was all her fault, you have to try and forvive her.)
Manko shant rakho aur so jao. Ab mai jarahi hoon.
Armaan goes to sleep.
Next day morning.
Armaan gets ready and goes to the garden at the back of the ashram. He collects some flowers from the garden and goes to meet padma.
Armaan : ma, maine aapkeliye phool laya hoon.
Padma : 😊smiles and takes them. Ye kisliye?
Armaan : mai Ridhima ko roz phool deta tha. Lekin aaj wo mere saath nahi hi na isiliye aap ko dene ka mankiya.
Padma : (smiles) 😊 thanks. Tum udas mat hona beta. Bahut jald tumhe Ridhima miljayegi.
Armaan : thanks ma. Kal rat aap ne jokuch bhi kaha wo sab sach tha. Jokuch bhi hua usme mera hi galti jyada tha. Ye baat mai pehlese jaanta tha ki usdin maine gusse me Ridhima ko kuch jyada hi boldiya jiski vajah se wo mujhe choodkar chaligaye. Par mai apni ego ki vajah se apni galti ko accept nahi karpaya tha. Jistarah wo mujhe choodkar chaligaye, usse mai bahut naraz tha.
Ab mai apni galti accept karne keliye tayar hoon. Mai jab Ridhima ko milunga zaroor usse mafi mangunga aur mujhe choodkar jane keliye usse khoob dantunga bhi. Ma aap bhi Ridhima ko khoob dantiye.
Ma Ridhima mujhe miljayegi na?
Armaan said it is a joking was but padma understood the seriousness and fear in Armaan's voice.
Padma : tum bilkul chinta matkaro beta. Tumhe Ridhima zaroor milegi. Aur hum dono milke use khoob dantenge.
Armaan : Mujhe pata nahi mai Ridhima ko kise dhoondunga. Lekin mujhe kisi na kisi tarah Ridhima ko milna he hi. Ma app Ridhima ke bare me jobhi jante hi, aap please mujhe batadijiye. Isse mujhe use dhoondne me madat hojaye gi.
Padma : thik hi beta. Tum Ridhima ke bare kya jaanna chate ho?
Armaan : mai Ridhima ke bare mai sabkuch janna chata hoon. Jab Ridhima mere saath thi tab mai use uski bare me kuch nahi pucha. Mai sirf itna janta hoon ki use apni doctor profession bahut pasand hi aur wo social activities karti hi. isse zayada na mai kabhi usse pucha aur na wo kabhi mujhe bataye. Shayad tub mai janna bhi nahi chata tha kyonki mujhe lagata tha mai uske bare mai sabkuch janta tha. Par ab mai Ridhima ke bare me sare baate janna chata hoon. Ma, aap Ridhima ko kabse jante hi? Kya ridihma ko koi khaas dost hi jiske ke paas wo jasakti hi.
Padma : I know Ridhima from when she was in her mother's womb.
