PART 17
Its six in the evening and Ridhima n Arima are waiting for Armaan to return from Sanjeevani....Like every other day, at this time....Arima was super excited to meet her papa.....So it was a tough job for Ridhima to make Arima drink her milk...
R: Ohfo Arima...! Haan...haan...papa bass aa rahe hain....ohh...Arimmaaa...!!! Kya kar rahi ho...?? Chup chap ab milk peeyo...huh Arima...achha mat peeyo...bass...?
Arima smiled while Ridhima cleaned her mouth with her bib...
TINTON...!!!
Arima jumped: aaa...eeeyyeee....!!!!pa...aa...paaaaaa.....!!
R: haan...haan.....papa aa gaye...
They go towards the main door....Ridhima opens it n a tired Armaan walks in, carrying his lab coat in one arm n some files in the other hand
Ridhima was a bit taken aback as he hadnt kissed her or even smiled at her....nor had he taken Arima from her. He just said a plain 'hi' n walked in...
Arima: aaa...eeyyeeaaa......
Ridhima followed Armaan to their room...still carrying Arima with her
R: yeh tumhara bohot der se wait kar rahi thi...then after a pause....aur main bhi....
Armaan: haan woh...kuch kaam mein phas gaya tha.,.....upar se kaafi bada traffic jam bhi tha...is liye late ho gaya...
He took out a plain white t-shirt from his wardrobe n went in the washroom to take a quick shower.
Ridhima left Arima in her cot n went to the kitchen....She returned with a glass of water from Armaan....
Armaan came out n kissed Arima's forehead
Ridhima smiled n said: Yeh lo paani...
She noticed an upset n tensed expression on her husband's face...
R: kya hua Armaan...?? Kaafi thakke huye aur worried lag rahe ho.....??
A: haan..?? nai kuch nai Ridhima...bas aise hi....
But Ridhima knew something wasnt right...
R: Armaan...kya hua..?? she asked him gently...Mujhse kya chuppa rahe ho..??
Armaan gave in...He knew he could not hide anything from her
A: Ridhima...wohh...Umar Bhai the na......umm...
R:haan...di mujhe kuch dinon pehle bta rahi thi ki unki tabiyat nai theek .....
A: haan....aaj unki surgery thi.....main us mein Dr Shubhanker ko assist kar raha tha...woh critical the...humnein end tak koshish jaari rakhi..lekin...
He broke off...
Ridhima saw lil tears emerging in his eyes...She came near him n hugged him tight. Armaan hid his face in her hair...He was really upset about this for a few days...Umar Bhai had been suffering from a really serious disease...After having worked in Sanjeevani for so many years...almost his entire life...he passed away like this....Armaan sobbed...
Ridhima knew how he must be feeling...n she put her arms on his back....n spoke
R: Kuch nai hota Armaan....zindagi aur mauth hamare haath mein to nai hai na....woh to Bhagwaan ki zimmedari hai...Hamara kaam to bas yeh hai ki hum apni poori koshish karein....jo tumne ki....
She patted his back n Armaan felt relaxed...n better
R: I'm sure tumnein ek bohot achii surgery ki hogi...lekin phir shayad wahi hua jo unki takdir mein tha....jo hona hi tha...hai na...??
Aarmaan slightly nodded n hugged her tighter
Ridhima let him be like that for a few more moments then sensing he must be feeling a lil better now she drew back n said
R: Ab walk par chalein...?? Kitne dino se Arima ko kahin bhi ghumane nai le gaye...
She wiped his tears as he smiled at her...then coming close he kissed her forehead
He picked Arima up....n off they went....
Soon the three of them were walking towards a little park, close to their house. Arima was in her papa's arms playing with his nose, then his hair n then making funny sounds. Armaan held her on one side as he lightly sqyeezed Ridhima's hand with his other hand. They walked slowly, talking about Arima, her latest behavior, what all she liked to eat, her regular check ups....n all.... Armaan kissed Arima sometimes ....as they neared the park
Armaan took Arima to a little swing where she thoroughly enjoyed herself...laughing n waving to her mummy who sat on a nearby bench watching her two sweethearts. Then Armaan took Arima to the slide n whooooosh..!! went Arima...!
Ridhima screamed: Armaan...!! Kya kar rahe ho..?? Dhyan se...use chott lag jaayegi...!!
There were not many kids in the park.....It was a small one though...Some girls played on the swings n a couple was walking on one side...Another mother had brought her young one to play there..
After being hell tired, Armaan n Arima returned to Ridhima . Armaan panted as he sat next to Ridhima. Ridhima carefully put a few locks of Arima's hair away from her forehead, n wiped her sweat with her hanky. She made Arima blow her nose n then gave her some water to drink form her tiny bottle. Ridhima bent down to tie Arima's shoe lace n then looked at her daughter, lovingly
Armaan watched Ridhima as she did these things n put his arm around her. Ridhima turned to look at him, n smiled..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They came back home for dinner. Ridhima puts Arima off to sleep after feeding her with milk. She then heads towards the kitchen, for preparing dinner. Armaan switches on the TV when Ridhima shouts...
R: Armaaaan...!!! Volume kam karo...Arima so rahi hai....!!
A: sorry..!! karta hoon..!
Ridhima lays down the dinner n they start eating. Armaan was really hungry after a long tiring day at the hospital. He gobbled down the mattar-panir n the gobi- allo. Ridhima put some curd for him in his bowl whn she heard Arima crying, n rushed to her room...
They retire to bed at around eleven. It was then when Armaan mentioned he had a lil surprise for her...
R: Surprise...?? kya...??
she asked as she lay on the bed, next to him
Armaan turned to look at her
A: Basket.. kitni baar kaha hai...ki surprises batane ke liye nai hote....
He gently removed her hair from her forehead
R: Achaa..?? phir kisliye hote hain...??? Sirf chupaane ke liye..????? Armaan..please...batao na..kya surprise hai.....she pouted
A: umm...kyunki tum inti cute ho....he smiled...isliye bata deta hun...
Ridhima got all excited: batao..kya...??
A: umm....tumhein yaad hai kuch dino pehle tumnein kaha tha ki hum bohot dino se kahin ghoomne nai gaye...?
R: hmm..kaha tha...
She fiddled with his shirt's buttons
A: isliye, hum Goa ja rahe hain....
R: GOA..??? kab..??? kaise..?? kyun..?? kaaabbbbb.........???
She suddenly became super excited!
A:umm..plan to kiya tha ki kal jaayein...
R: Kal..?? Armaan...itni jaldi...??
A: arre basket yaar...suno to...
R: hmmm...??
A: lekin phir ek important case ki wajah se, maine parson ki flight book karva di hai....

A: Basket....to kal kar lena....ab mujhe bohot neend aa rahi hai...he yawned
R: Kaafi thakke huye ho...jab se aaye ho...ab so jao....she turned to swotch off the light...
