Part 3
As the morning showered its blessings on him, he woke up but got restless seeing his ridhima missing from bed.
Looking for his jaan he reached the living room and was shocked and confused to see a suitcase.
The very next moment he was running all around the "house" - which was a home long time ago and has now turned into a house , to find his ridhima .
After looking in every corner of the house he finally came to the kitchen to have some water to relax , and there she was preparing his breakfast like every normal day .
"Tumne toh mujhe dara hi diya tha aur yeh suitcase ?"he stood there hugging his life and taking a breath of ease to have her with him .
"Tumhaara naashta bana diya hai , laundry kar di hai " with that she headed towards the living room .while he stood there thinking why she is talking so strangely .
And scratching his head he followed her to the living room .
And he was stunned to see her standing at the door with the suitcase."tum kahan jaa rahi ho ? aur yeh suitcase ?"
"Armaan please mujhe jaane do" and with that she opened the latch to step out .
"Please andar chalo , aur baith kar batao ki hua kya ? aisi kya baat ho gayi ki tum mujhe chod kar jaana chahti ho, please ridhima "
And he took her inside and made her sit on the bed, holding her face in his hands
"ab batao kya hua jaan ?"
"armaan kya tumne socha hai hamara rishta kahan jaa raha hai . are we the same we were years back ? everything has changed "
"we are same ridhima , our love is the same , aur kuch nahi badla "
"armaan hum ek doosre se jhagad te zayada hai aur pyaarkum "
"pyaaar kum zayda nahi hota ridhima , sirf pyaar hota hai "
"par hamare pyaar ke beech mein physical relation aaata hai , aisa kyun hota hai ki jab bhi hum jhagadte hain, toh tumhaare paas sirf hi tareeka hota hai manane ka , you
know wat i mean na , its apart of love not the reason of love" she didnt want to make it sound cheap , and left him to figure the matter.
"ridhima yeh kya keh rahi ho tum, its ofcourse not reason for love, its an expression of love,and tum jab bhi gusa hoti ho yaan phir hamaara jhagda hota hai , mujhe lagta hai ki my touch can melt away your anger and our fights, thats y i take that approach.
Agar tumhe pasand nahi hai ,no worries i will find out another ways to pacify you,but please dont leave me " as he raised her hands to engulf his cheeks .
"ok ,i hope we make it better" she gave an assuring smile lending her full support to their relation.
" And thanks jaan for talking this out, kabhi kabhi kuch baatein na kehne se dooriyan aa jaati hain, and please dubaara se mujhe apna friend banalo just like before marriage and tell me watever bother you " giving a sweet lil kiss on her cheeks they went back to the living room to empty the suitcase and place at back to where it belongs ........... up alone on the top of closet.

Next couple of days went smoothly , armaan was being more co-operative with her , helping her in the kitchen, not screaming at her when she takes time to get ready. She felt like they are back to where they started, same understanding , same love ,which to her was somewhere disappeared in the air .
"Chale jaan " as he popped his head inside the room once again to check if she was ready.
There standing was a beatiful slender image in the mirror which looked incomplete .Thinking for a bit the reason that made the beauty still incomplete he took a small bindi and placed it on her forehead. Was there still something missing in the portrait of love ?
Completing the colors in the beautiful sketch, ridhima pulled armaan in her embrace and for another couple of minutes they were standing infront of the mirror.
"abhi bhi kuch adhoora hai " looking in the mirror ridhima gave him a glance .
"Kya ?" he looked curiously at his face in the mirror trying to see if his shave is all ok .Before he could notice ridhima placed the colors on the empty canvas and there was it picture perfect paiting infront of them .
"Ab kya main aise hi jayunga ?" looking over to the lipstick mark he looked for another cute gesture from her .
"ab theek hai ?" while wiping the lipstick from his cheeks with her dupatta she winked at him .
At Sanjeevani
"Hey Ridhima yeh tumhaare dupatte par kya laga hai ?" one of her colleagues questioned her .
"umm yaar lipstick ka nishaan hai, woh lipstick theek kar rahi thi " and she blushed away saying that and in no seconds armaan was there to join her and make her blush more and more .
And everyday something or other cute things would happen making their life once again a livin paradise .
One such day she came across a lipstick spot on his shirt, somewhere around the pocket .
Tying to push away any wrong thoughts that might come in her mind, but unfortunately she was unable to .
"kya koi aur wajah hai arman ke itnekhush rehne ki ?"

**************************************************
Something was going on fishy, why he was so sweet and romantic to her? all those questions started poking her heart and mind. What was that... that was lacking in their relation ? Every peek and corner she tried rewind he found everything going very fine with some up and down which she ignored as normal in a relationship. If that was not what else could be there .Was he not happy with her ..but he looked more cheerful these days which wasnt that usual of him ..he would come home early and talk to her all lovey dovey ...
As wisely said when one does get more than they expect they value it less and million doubts are raised up..
she waited impatiently for him to get out of the washroom after his evening shower. All the times she kept on thinking how should she pose the question to him. what if their newly stabled marriage be on redcoals again ?
" thinking about me sweetheart ?" his sudden hold started her ,as she wasnt ready for this lovey confrontation after the battle her mind was playing with her .
Splashing water from his wet hairs on her bare neck, he took hold of her hands . " kahan khoyi ho ? "
"umm kuch nahi ..main khaana lagaati hoon tum , you change and come quickly " she shoved her evil thoughts under cover of her mind to deal with them later on . Somewhere his innocent face after the shower appeared to her as if it was a blank paper without any scibbble on it . She couldnt gather the courage to ask him or she felt it wasnt an appropriate time .
"areey yaar again this dal makhani ?, you know ridhi i dont like it " but before she could react he made a declaration " chalo koi baat nahi i will try this for you ,just for you my sweetheart " .
Once again another unusual behavior from him , reminded her of her questionaire once again . She felt like asking him at the moment but waited for him to finish his dinner .
Unfortunately , she got busy with the kitchen work . By the time she got back to the room he already dozed off . Her doubted mind got its way once again ,one more unusual behaviour of his , he would never go to sleep without waiting for her .
Was there really something going on?Why was he behaving so unlikely of himself .
A whole week went by without having any confrontations .
It was one pleasant sunday evening ,they were sitting in the balcony for their evening tea .Armaan was in his usual cool enjoying the light breeze flowing through his hair whereas the same breeze was trying to cool down the frowns of doubt formed on ridhima's forehead .
"Armaan main tumse kuch poochna chahti hoon " gathering all her courage he managed to start the conversation .
"haan bolo " unware of the storm coming towards him he replied to her .
"Arman is there something going on which im unaware of ?" shooting right at the centre cirle , she felt like she hit the bulls eye .
" matlab ? kis baare mein ?" still with a smile on his he looked at her narrowing brows.
"armaan i found a lipstick stain on your shirt other day? " she blurbed all in one go .
shocked with a sudden accusation " what ? ridhi tumhara dimag toh theek hai na ?"
"armaan tumhe nahi lagta aj kal tumhe mujh par kuch hi pyaar aa raha hai " once again another explosion hit his mindset .
"ridhi tum soch bhi kaise sakti ho ? mere pyaar ko tum shaq se dekhti ho ? how could you ?" without even listening to her explanation he got up and left the so called courtroom of her .
changing into his casuals he took the keys to the car and left from there leaving the door open .
"what wrong have i said ? that he reacted like this . dont i have the right to know from where those marks came ? " she tried to convince herself with as much reasoning possible for her to think of to justify her action.
to be cont........
