Part------4
Riddhima reached mumbai station.. When she saw the whole station crowed for once she got afraid….she does not know any one in the city…her mother's friend ratna.. She only knows her name but does not have seen her..so that's why she is afraid whether her mother's friend will recognize her or not… will she help her or not….all these thoughts had occupied her mind… then she heard a voice…
"mem sahib kahaan chalana hai.????" Hearing this she came back to world…
" ji ji bhai sahib mujhe is addresss pe jaana hai… " showing her a paper on which address was written…
" chaliye madam…" riddhima sat in the cab… when she was going she saw so much crowd in on the roads…..and also shops shining with so much light…
" bhai sahib aaj ko festival hai yahan…. Jo itna rush( crowd ) hai…"
" laagata hai madam aap mumbai pehli baar aayi hai….ye toh yahaan roj ka kaam hai… aise hi roads par crowd hota hai… aur bahut log hote hai…"
" lijye aap ki manzil aa gaayi…" pointing towards a small cottage..
Riddhima gave him money and got down from cab..
She was still hesitating to go to house… then she knock the door…
A girl of abt 24 year came out…
" ji namastey main riddhima hoon ratna aunty se milne aayi hoon.. "
" ratna kaun ratna???"
" ji ye yehi ka address hai… showing her…paper…
" ji hai address toh yehi ka hai… par yahaan koi ratna nahi rehti…
Then a boy came out side and that girl told him the whole thing and riddhima…
" shayad aap unnki baat kar rahi hai jo jhaansi se aayi thi.. Par unn kit oh 6 months pehle death ho gaayi hai… aur unnke bete ne ye ghar humein bech diya tha.."
Riddhima get shocked hearing this…. Now what will she do she does not know any one in the mumbai…she has no one even in whole world…
Now she start walking in the middle of the road… as she was lonely in the whole world…
On the other side
Armaan's dada ji is very angry from him..
" mujhe kaagata hai tum ne mujhe se jhooth kaha hai… tum ne koi shaadi vaadi nahi ki hai… bus baachne ke ye sub kar rahe ho…"
" nahi dada ji main aap se jhooth kyun bolbo gaaya…??? Main sach main shaadi kar li hai…"
" agar shaadi kar li hai toh milvao apni biwi se… "
" dada ji dada ji who who…"
" main kuch nahi jaanta ab tabbi hi is ghar main aana jab tmhari biwi tumhare saath ho… warna maat aana… " said dada ji ina very strict tone…
In the car….
" meri kismet hi kharab hai.. Ek jhooth ko chupane ke liye doosra doosre ko chupane ke liye teesra… kya karo ab kahaan se laao biwi… aur ye k.k. Bhi naa.."
Riddhima was waliking in middle of road and she sat on the bus stop for some rest… it was 1 pm in the night… the she saw some boys r coming to her.. She really got afraid… they look like gundas.. As they approach towards riddhima they start misbehaving with riddhima…
"kya cheej hai… chalo apni toh poori raat bann gayi.."
" hai theek kaha bahut aachi hai.. Bilkul karina kapoor ki tarah..bahut maaza aaye gaaya.."
With very difficulty riddhima ran from there… and while running she collapse with armaan's car…
" what the hell…. Dekh kar nahi chal saakti marne ke liye meri hi gaadi milli hai.." Armaan was saying all this in a one tone...
Then suddenly his saw riddhima's face.. She was very much sacred… but yet looking vey beautiful… her eyes were really mindblowing…
" woh who mere peeche kuch gunde pare hai… pls help me.. Pls help me…"
Then armaan saw some boys coming toward them… as they approach toward them..
" chup chap ye ladaki humare haawale kar dee…aur jaa yahaan se…"
Armaan start beating them… that gunda's also attack on armaan but … armaan was much stronger from them and he beat all of them…and they ran from there leaving armaan and riddhima behind…
" thank you thank you so much… for helping me…"
"its okay par aap ko itni raat ko bahar nahi ghumana chhaiye… "
" ji who main ghumm nahi rahi thi… main yahaan kiss ko jaanti nahi aur jinn ke pass aayi thi woh ab is duniya mein nahi rahe is liye mere pass koi rehne ki jaagaha nahi thi…bus is liye… sorry for the trouble…"
"its okay.."
Saying this armaan left in his car leaving behind riddhima…
After his going riddhima saw armaan's valet was on the floor… she called from behind but till then.. Armaan was left…
But there was his address also so riddhima thought to return it…..
