RECAP:ARMAAN ND RAHUL FIGHT.. RIDHHIMA SHOUTS ON RAHUL SAYING HE HAS NO RIGHT TO HURT ANGEL TO AVENGE ARMAAN.. SIA HEARD RIDHHIMA SAYING THIS ND WAS NOW SURE OF SOME MYSTERY ON THE PAST.. AWARD FUNCTION TAKES PLACE.. ARMAAN LEAVES WITH AAHANA..

Part 6

It was almost a week that Armaan nd Aahana were back from Mumbai.. though Aahana got back into her normal routine life but sometimes seeing her Armaan would really feel Sia's words nd realises that His Angel needs a mother who could teach her to be a bit gentle nd cautious of things in life.. Armaan was worried when was seeing her living The Same carefree Life he had lived before he fell for Ridhhima..

He was numb when once Aahana told him that she bashed a boy when he said bad words about him.. He so wanted to but he could get himself to shout at her or explain her anything.. His New nd Smooth life was going off track now..

While on the otherhand in Mumbai, Things were changing aswell.. After Ridhhima shouting at Rahul nd Abhi for their slimy ways of getting back at Armaan, the guys have started to keep abit distance from her.. Even Muskaan nd Nikki were awkward with her.. manier times she would just sit in fire escape with her coffee..

Sia somehow knew what was going on between the Gang nd decided that it was the best time to play her master move to know BOTH SIDE of AR's relationship OR break up story.. She started getting closer to Ridhhima on pretext of Project nd discussions.. Sometimes in the starting when she tried talking about Armaan, Ridhhima ignored her questions nd kept working but Now she has started to reply to somethings atleast like telling her that how they met or fell in love..

Sia decided to stay for some more time but thing was that she had to change her house she had rented as she had to vacate it in a day.. Taking hold of this opportunity Sia tried to stay with Ridhhima at the apartment she has got from Sanjeevni..

She took her phone nd called Dr.Kirti.. nd explained all the situation including AR's aswell.. "What..? Ridhhima ki beti..?" Dr.Kirti asked in a shocked tone..

Sia thought that it was because no one knew about Aahana but she was shocked herself when Kirti said "Lekin as per her records, Dr. Ridhhima ne to beta deliver kiya thha.."

"Beta..?" for a moment Sia was numb.. she herself didn't knew what to say.. The only thought crossed her mind was 'what if Armaan knows about this..?'..

"Nai.. Dr. Kirti I need to discuss this in private with you.. I'll be reaching Sanjeevni in just 10minutes.." saying so Sia rushed to Sanjeevni..

In a minute of her conversation with Kirti, Sia's mischievious nd determined mind was put to stress.. She was worried now..

Sia reached Sanjeevni nd rushed to Kirti.. Everyone was puzzled to see her running like this but none cared.. "Dr.Kirti.." Sia said entering but stopped when she saw Ridhhima with a file.. looking at her face Ridhhima knew something was wrong, she wanted to ask but was confused 'kis rishtey se pooche..'

As she walked out excusing herself, Sia started.. "Yes Dr.Kirti.. What were saying about Ridhhima's delivery..?" Sia asked in an perplexed tone praying for nothing disasterous.. "Dr.Sia.. When Ridhhima's father took her with him to Delhi, he told me the reason for that.. Only me nd Armaan knew that Ridhhima was expecting.. nd When the day arrived, I called Mr.Gupta to congratulate him.. He told me that Ridhhima has delivered a Dead Baby Boy.. I can be sure of it as being the Head Branch, all the reports are transferred here, to Mumbai.. Even Ridhhima's reports were here.." Kirti explained..

"But this can't be true.. Aahana is Ridhhima nd Armaan's daughter.. she is exactly three years nd five months old.. nd her DNA matches with Armaan aswell.. I know that because when Armaan wanted to leave India forever, for security reasons, he was tested for his DNA to match Aahana's as a proof that he is not taking away someone else's baby.. nd we all know that before he left he was so in Love with Ridhhima to cheat her at all.." Sia said nd then another thing crossed her mind was "Armaan has a legal document signed from Ridhhima's father saying that Armaan has Aahana's legal custody.. If Aahana is not Ridhhima's daughter then why would her father interfere in this matter.."

Sia stopped when she heard aloud thump at the door.. She turned to see Ridhhima standing there mortified nd stunned nd tears were flowing from her eyes.. "Meri beti.." she looked at Sia hopefully to say that her baby is alive nd fine.. Sia nodded thinking it was the time for the show to end..

"Yes, Ridhhima.. Angel is yours nd Ammy's daughter.."

Ridhhima just fell on her knees nd cried loudly in joy as if she had received a new life.. "Mujhe.. mujhe usse dekhke laga.. laga thha ki.. ki jaise.. meri.. meri beti.. mera koi apna.. hhhoo.." she said crying nd hugging herself while sitting on her knees..

"Kyunki vo tumhari aur Ammy ki beti hai.. Ammy ko to pata hi nai ki tumhe yahan itne saal kitne bade dhoke mein rakha gaya.." Sia said as if almost reminding herself but listening to Armaan's name, Ridhhima's mind triggered.. "Nai.. vo.. voo.. mujhe.. meri beti.. se.. dur karega.. vo mujhse pyar nai karta.. nafrat.. karta hai.. aur usne meri beti se.. se bhi kaha.. mujhse dur rehne.." She sobbed abit more..

At the moment Ridhhima went so histerical that she had to be drugged to keep her mental level normal.. She was shifted to a room in Sanjeevni.. While Sia's mind was working overtime thinking how to get Armaan to face the truth now.. She knows that he will not listen to a single word in Ridhhima's favour without any proof as he is VERY possessive about Angel.. But before that she has to put all the pieces of the puzzle together..

She shot a look at sleeping Ridhhima nd went ot get a pencil nd a paper.. She started writing all the incidents from now till Ridhhima's pregnancy.. ie. from discovering fake reports.. Ridhhima being lied about her baby.. Armaan leaving with Custody papers.. Ridhhima's father discovering the truth about AR nd being against it..

After thinking for hours she sat besides Ridhhima nd smiled.. she was relieved as finally the mystery in front of her was solved..

'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*

Ridhhima woke up with a jerk.. She looked around confused to find herself lying in the emergency room of Sanjeevni.. She saw Kirti nd others there, standing by her bed.. She closed her eyes due to stress nd recalled all the happening nd the truth that had been unleashed before her.. The Only thing she can ever ask for was to get those blissful years of LOVE back in her life.. To hear her baby calling her 'Mother'.. to feel Armaan's arms around herself nd cry on his shoulder..

"Sia.." she whispered..

Everyone except Kirti were surprised.. "Ridz don't worry.. we're here for you.." Nikki said.. But Ridhhima wanted to talk to ONLY SIA now..

"Mujhe Sia se milna hai abhi.." she declared.. as others protested she just looked at Kirti hopefully.. "You understand na Dr.Kirti.. I need to talk to Sia right Now.." Kriti nodded nd ordered others out of the room nd paged Sia aswell..

While others were wondering why is Ridhhima suddenly calling Sia.. on the otherhand Sia came rushing to Ridhhima's room..
"Ohey.. Ridhhima.. how are you feeling now..?" she asked as she got in..

While Ridhhima didn't waited for these formalities she came to the point straight away.. "What is all this going on Sia..? I mean I was told that I had lost my baby then from where did all of a sudden did Aahana came into the picture..?"

Sai sat by her nd held her hand tightly.. "Aahana was always in this picture Ridhhima.. but your father didn't let you reach her.. Its true that Aahana is yours nd Armaan's daughter.."

"Papa..? how is he involved in all this nd why the hell are you telling me all this NOW..? aren't you afraid for your friend, that I might claim MY DAUGHTER back..?" Ridhhima asked confused.. to which Sia just smiled nd said "Your father was The Only Actor, Producer nd Director for all this Mess in your life.. I know you'll not believe me for that but that's the next step.. first you need to know what actually happened.. I'm telling this to you coz I know Angel needs her Mother nd she misses you terribly.. nd as far as her custody is concerned, you can't legally claim Angel from Ammy.. Your Father gave him those legal documents signed by you, which say that you're not willing to keep your daughter with you nd thus you want her either to be with her father or at an orphanage.." Sia finished with a serious face..

Listening to Sia, Ridhhima felt as if her tiny World has been shattered.. she was in daze when Sia shook her abit.. "Look Ridhhima.. From what I've known about you I think you're good nd still Loves Ammy.. I want you guys back together nd for that you have to be strong.. Ammy will need a proof before he lets you get close to himself or Angel.. nd for that I've planned something.."

"lekin uss din jo bhi mere aur Armaan ke beech baat hui vo.. usne mujhe kyun nai bataya ki humari beti zinda hai..?" Ridhhima asked confused..

"Kyunki usse yeh bola gaya thha ki tum apni beti ko apnane ke liye ready nai ho nd you want the baby to be raised in an orphanage.." Sia said..

"Lekin aisa kaise ho sakta hai..? maine to papa se kaha thha ki I want to adopt a baby.. main kaise apne baby ko dur.." her thoughts trailed the truth now.. "Matlab Papa ne mujhse aur Armaan dono se jhoot bola.."

As Sia nodded Ridhhima burst out crying.. she had never expected her father to be the slayer of all her dreams nd future..

'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*

Ridhhima looked around the Mansion as she stepped inside the door.. she for once felt disgusted while entering HER FATHER's HOUSE.. but she knew she had to do it.. For her Love nd Daughter..

She directly walked to his Study, where she knew He would be sitting with his files.. She entered without knocking nd was stunned to hear her father talk on his phone.. While Sia stood hiding behind the door with a camera so that Shashank doesn't see her nd from where both Ridhhima nd Shashank are in focus..

"I'm sure Mr.Khanna.. Yeah, Next week would be fine for the marriage.. I'll let Ridhhima know so that she can meet Sandeep Once before they get married.. Oh yes.. ofcourse.. We'll sign the partnership papers on the day of marriage itself.. Yes.. Mr Khanna.. from my side this relationship nd the deal is final.." Shashank stopped when he turned nd saw Ridhhima..

Ridhhima's hardened when she thought of his deeds.. how he had spoiled her life.. "Kis se pooch ke aapne meri zindagi ka itna bada faisla liya hai Mr.Gupta..?" She asked in a furious tone, even before Shashank could say anything.. While Shashank was confused.. Though many times had Ridhhima fought with him but never had she insulted him or took his name..

"Kya hua hai beta.. aisa to meri beti kabhi baat nai karti mujhse..? Aaj to aap bilkul ek ajnabi ki tarah baat kar rahi ho apne papa se.." he said in a sugary tone to cool her down.. "bilkul vaise hi Mr.Gupta jaise aaj meri beti mujhse baat karti.. Aapki vajah se meri beti mujhe jaanti nai.. Mera Armaan mujhse nafrat karta hai.. Kyun Kiya yeh sab..? Kya mila aapko yeh sab karke..?" She asked in an commanding tone as she knew she has the right to know the truth..

"Ridhhima beta yeh.. tum kya keh rahi ho..? mujhe kuch samajh nai.." he was cut in between by Ridhhima who was even more rude this time.. "I need all my answers Shashank Gupta.. kya mila meri, Armaan ki aur humari beti ki zindagi barbaad karke..? kyun mujhse yeh kaha ki Armaan mujhse shaadi nai karna chahta kyunki usse lagta hai ki meri vajah se usne apna bachha khoya.." she sobbed nd continued "Aur kyun Armaan se yeh kaha ki main apne bachhe ko nai apnana chahti jabki mujhse kaha gaya thha ki mujhse beta hua thha jo ki pehle se hi marr chuka thha..? BOLO.. I NEED THE GOD DAMN ANSWER..?"

She shook him from his collar which enraged Shashank aswell nd Sia who was standing with the camera smiled as enraged Shashank would say all that she wanted AR to know.. "Haan.. yeh sach hai.. maine kiya yeh sab.. lekin yeh maine sirf tumhare liye kiya beta.. Vo ladka tumhare layak nai thha.. tumhe yaad hai jab tum yahan aayi ti usne tumhe phone karna bhi kam kar diya thha.."

"vo isliye ki aapne trustees se kehkar uski duty extend karva di thhi.. Yeh sab ek plan thha.. issliye uske jaate hi mujhse donation ke naam par papers sign karvaye aur asliyat mein vo papers Meri Beti ki custody ke thhe.." she was on her knees now.. She was sobbing uncontrolablly.. "Shashank Gupta.. aaj tumhari vajah se main apni beti se mil bhi nai sakti.. use yeh nai bol sakti ki main uski mamma hoon.. aur aaj tumne bhi apni beti kho di.. I'm an orphan now.. I hate you for what you did.. nd I'll never forgive you.. jis beti ke liye yeh sab kiya thha ab vo beti hi saath nai rahegi.."

She got up weakly nd turned to go.. Shashank tried to stop her but in vain..

When he asked what will she do now..? she said "Apne Armaan ko manane ki koshish karungi.. agar nai mana to apni jaan de dungi.. kyunki yeh jaankar ki vo mujhse pyar karta hai aur meri beti bhi sahi salamat hai, main unn dono se dur nai reh sakti.." Her this statement even shook Sia..

Sia sensed seriousness in Ridhhima's voice nd she knew whatever Ridhhima said, she would keep her words.. Sia left Gupta Mansion before Ridhhima came out of the study nd before anyone could catch her with a camera.. She caught Ridhhima outside the house nd took her with her..

'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*'*

Its been 24 hours since Ridhhima's confrontation with her father.. Sia didn't let her board the next flight to Canada as She thought that Ridhhima should be abit relaxed before she goes nd see Her lil Family..

Sia helped Ridhhima pack off all her stuff as Ridhhima was adamant to never come back to Delhi Or Mumbai.. As she sighed nd sat Ridhhima looked at her nd said "How do you know that all that you're doing would be good for your friend nd Aahana..?"

Sia smiled thinking it was the time for Ridhhima to recognise Sia aswell.. "well that's because, you Love him.. nd as far as I've known you, you seem to be a One Man Women.. Armaan ne bataya thha jab maine tumse pehli baar baat ki thhi, ke tumne uske liye apni jaan ki parvah kiye bina usse ek fatal accident se bachaya thha.. Besides I knew that this truth would not make my Friend loose anything but if my effort works positively he'll surely gain much.." she chuckled nd Ridhhima was surprised..

"Tumhe Armaan ne uss accident ke baare mein ab bataya thha..?"

Sia shook her head.. "Nope.. tabhi jab yeh accident hua thha.. 5saal pehle.. Remember tumne uski ek dost se baat ki thhi.. whom you'd mistaken as his ex-girlfriend..?"

Ridhhima thought for a while nd nodded smiling.. "Haan.. maine bekar hi uss bechare par shaq kiya thha aur usne phir bhi Sorry bola thha.. But.. Hey wait a second.. Tum.. tum Siandra ho..? Siandra Wills..?" she was surprised nd hit her head as if smakcing herslef.. "God..! I didn't realise ki Armaan ki Dost Siandra, Canada mein rehti thhi.. nd you're here with him from Canada too.."

"Well in that case I won't blame you.. tumhe logon ko pehchaane mein waqt lagta hai.. BTW have you thought of something ke Ammy se kaise baat karogi..?" Sia said to which Ridhhima nodded glumly.. "Sahi kaha Sia.. mujhe logon ko pehchaane mein waqt lagta hai.. varna apne Armaan ki jagah apne papa par vishwaas nai karti.. aur jahan tak Armaan ko manane ki baat hai.. main koshish karungi uske pyar paane ki, uska vishwas jeetne ki.. lekin agar vo nai mana to Apni beti ko mile bina hi.. mujhe nai pata Sia ki main uske baad kya karungi.. jee paungi unn dono ke bina ya nahi.."

Sia got up from the sofa nd took the mugs to the kitchen.. she came back with her purse nd gave Ridhhima her tickets.. "Here you go.. tumhare tickets.. you have ur flight early in the morning.. I wish you luck coz I would be at Sanjeevni when you'll leave.. you have his address.."

Ridhima was surprised.. "But tumne bhi to apni kal ke hi tickets book karvaye thhe..? aren't you coming..?" Sia smiled at her nervousness.. "Nope.. You have to do this alone.. I have my flight for tomorrow afternoon.. 6hrs. after you take off.."

All through the night Ridhhima was just turning from one side to another.. She was still in daze as she thought of seeing her Daughter nd Armaan after just afew hours now.. She couldn't hide her excitement or her nervousness either.. All she was waiting for was to get hold of Armaan nd Aahana nd hug them tight nd kiss them.. She slept praying that Armaan forgives her nd Aahana also accepts her well..
