Part 20
Abhimanyu had heard about Shasanks condition a week ago and hadn't bothered much about it, until last night....he was out as usual with his friends, out of which one is a lawyer who casually bought up the topic about Shashanks Business Empire...guys!!! Do you even know how expensive and rich that business is?!?!, you wouldn't even have to move a finger for the rest of life with that much money...poor Shasank Uncle, he's probably going to die in a few months, and then all the business and property will be transferred into Ridhhima's name, hard luck Abhi, you had the chance and you blew it away...he looked away in thought as his friends laughed at his situation, only to come up with one of his rare fantastic ideas...thanks mate, you've just made the situation clear and much more easier for me...grinning at his evil thought he decided to make his way to Ridhhima's house the very next morning...
Standing at her door step, Abhimanyu watched her face turn pale, as though she was watching a horror movie, but he waited for her to say something...but realising that she hadn't said anything for the past few moments, he decided to initiate...em, aren't you going to invite me in?...reality struck Ridhhima hard, as her jaw clenched tight in anger and worry...what do you want Abhimanyu, and that all of a sudden...Abhimanyu didn't miss out on the double meaning of her words to which he shook his head...*sigh* Ridhhima, could we please talk???it's very important, if I won't say it today, then I'll never be able to say it, pleeeaaasseee....placing his hand on Ridhhima's wrist, he approached her with a pleading look...shocked and agitated by his guts, she pulled her hand out of his grip in a flash of a second...DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!!! And I don't want to talk to you, now please leave...stunned by her reaction, Abhimanyu felt his confidence falter, but he didn't give up...Ridhhima please, ok ok I won't touch you, but please listen to me, just this once...sensing her calm down, Abhimanyu questioned her once again, not letting go of his chances...Can I come in please?..Ridhhima looked straight at his eyes and could see some kind of desperation in them...but about what? What does he want to talk about? Should I let him in?...finally giving up she stepped aside and silently led him through to the living room...
who is it Ridhhi-...turning around, Shashank almost lost balance off the sofa to see Abhimanyu...anger visualised over Shashanks face as he saw Abhimanyu approach him...good morning uncle, how are you feeling now?..Abhimanyu had sensed the tension immediately after stepping into the living room and could feel a twinge of sweat appear across his forehead, but never the less he continued...handing over the flowers to Shashank, he waited for him to accept them...uncle these are for you, I'm very sorry to hear about your cancer, it's such a shame, especially when everything's going right, great life, great business...Shashank frowned in thought, trying to figure out what Abhimanyu is trying to point out, only to see the flowers once again being thrust towards him...anger boiled in Shashanks veins as he took hold of the flowers and threw them across the room..WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?!?...Abhimanyu trembled at the sight in front of him; the man was sick and old but still kept a presence which could scare the life out of people...Abhimanyu's brain swirled in worry and nervousness, he could see his plan going in the opposite direction...he had to do something fast...Uncle!! Uncle I'm soooooo sorry, I'm very sorry Uncle...Shashank was left aghast to see Abhimanyu fall into his feet and cry in sorrow...Uncle I have realised my mistake, I was wrong...Shashank looked upwards to see Ridhhima sharing similar expression as his, as they both look down at Abhimanyu in horror...I was wrong to leave Ridhhima, i-i-i still love her!!!...Abhimanyu never knew he acted so well, as he smirked to himself, whilst keeping his head ducked into Shashanks feet...looking up with a teary eyed face, Abhimanyu saw the colour of Shashanks face fade away as he consumed the news....yes uncle, I still love her, I was an idiot a moron to leave her...after she left, I completely broke, I tried to forget her but every time I did, I failed miserably...crying like maniac, Abhimanyu grabbed onto Shashanks legs and sobbed like never...i-i want Ridhhima back in my life Uncle, i-i want to marry her again...Ridhhima almost fell onto the floor listening to Abhimanyu's desire...air around her had simply vanished, as she began to feel suffocated...turning around, Abhimanyu got up on his feet and grabbed hold of Ridhhima by the shoulders...Ridhhima, I love you!! please marry me again, I promise not to leave you ever again, but please marry me...shaking her by the shoulders, Abhimanyu anticipated with hopeful eyes...Ridhhima felt like fragile doll, as he shaked her hard in his arms; she just could not consume his confession...the only thing that came into her mind at that time was, Armaan...feeling two fat tears roll down her cheeks, her heart cried out for Armaan..If he was here, he would have helped her out, took her out of her misery...she felt weak, and as soon as she sensed it, her eyes shot up, taking in the situation...Abhimanyu watched her eyes grow wide..He could almost make out her veins as her eye balls turned a shade of red...her jaw tightened as her teeth gritted against each other...
Abhimanyu was still consuming her reaction when out of blue, he fell against the sofa with hard slap against his cheeks...his eyes widened with disbelief as he consumed in the pain; looking up from the sofa he saw Ridhhima in the most angriest manner he had ever seen her in, as she huffed and puffed, but all was in vain as her anger just increased.....GET THE HELL OF OUT MY HOUSE MR MODI!!!!!!!!!!!....Abhimanyu immediately got up on his two feet and made his way towards Ridhhima only to be stopped by her hand...no Mr Modi, not this time, just-just go!!!..turning her face away in hatred, she held onto the fireplace to compose her self...Abhimanyu turned around to Shashank to gain help, only to see him look down with a frown and walk out of the room...Ridhhima please, just give me one more chance...this was the last straw for Ridhhima as she walked heavily in anger across the room towards the front door...holding it wide open, she waited for him to walk out...seeing there was no hope, Abhimanyu reluctantly walked out of the apartment with a down face, whilst looking over his shoulder at Ridhhima one last time...Ridhhima please I-...seeing the door bang on his face, Abhimanyu growled in anger as he kicked the wall next to him...Damn it!!!...
As he walked back to his car, he once again kicked the side of his door, only to feel an instant pain erupt in his foot...OWw!!!!....jumping across the pathway with his foot in his hand, Abhimanyu cursed Ridhhima a thousand times...Stupid woman!!! why the F***doesn't she wan to marry me?!?!?...if only...if only she said yes, my life would've been settled....and that Buddha!! I wish he dies any second now!!!!!!!!!
Taking a few deep breaths, he calmed himself down...Ok Ms Gupta, if this is how you like it, then so be it, But i am not going to give either...his evil smile said it all, aqs his mind planned another desgusting plan..
After a few nonsense banters with himself he finally settled into his car and drove off in the most horrendous speed, making a few screeches down the way...whereas unknown to him, his actions didn't go unnoticed by someone, who realised that something needs to be done about this ASAP!!
