Chapter 1
!!....28th September 2009...12:00 am....!!
Walking down the old country bridge, he cld see the flashes of thm playing together......it all seemed so unreal now, almst like a distinct dream which thy had lived together for more thn a decade........n now it was these memories n this one day The 28th of September tht thy lived for.......staring at the dark sky, laying by the river he waited for her like he always does on this one day of thir re-union.......feeling the soft breeze he closed his eyes, re-living the time he first met her.......
!!....28th September 1984....!!
A young boy of abt 12 came running down the old country bridge, tears flowing down his eyes........he cld yet hear his dad screaming at him.......unaware of his surrounding he kept on running with various thoughts going on in his little brain.......it like after ages tht he stopped to look wer he was.......
Looking arnd, the place looked like some small town surrounded by small yet very pretty cottages........ther was a big garden like area rit in the center of the town, spotting a beautiful gazebo rit besides the garden he went n sat down on a bench inside it........yet wondering wer exactly he is his eyes fell on a wooden board which read "Tinsel Town B" *No wonder i have never been to this place b4* he thought.......coming frm a extremely rich n a royal family he was not allowed to come down here.......bcoz as per his MOM this part B of the town belonged to the lower class ppl, n its not upto their standards to come down here or be with these ppl......jst the though of his mom brought back the tears, as he remembered wat happen jst a few hours ago......
"Armaan wat the hell is wrong with u, don't u have some shame left" Mr Vikrant Mallik shouted....
"But dad i didn't do anything"
"So u mean to say ur mom is lying, n tht u wern't the one bit Mrs. Rao's son" Vikrant Mallik shouted as his anger increased.....
"Honey calm down, he's jst a little boy.....Armaan beta go to ur room i'll talk to ur dad" Pallavi Mallik said with a sugar coated voice.....placing her hand on Armaan's cheek.....
"No need its between me n my dad.....u better stay out of it" Armaan spoke rudely, while pulling himself away.....
"Armaan stay in ur limits......she's ur Mom"
"No she's not my mom, she's jst ur wife.......don't u dare compare this bitch with my mom" *Slap* n everything went silent in the Mallik Mansion......it was after mins tht thy heard the frnt door open n saw Armaan running away while crying.......
*I miss u Mom* he said with closed eyes, tears flowing down......Opening his eyes he saw a young girl in a pink barbie frock standing rit in front of him.....
"Y r u crying" the little girl asked sweetly.....Armaan looked at her for a moment n thn looked away.....
"Is something wrong" she asked again coming in frnt of him.....while he again looked away.....the little girl went n sat down besides him.....after a few moments Armaan felt her taking hold of his hands in her small hands, this made him look up at her n it was thn tht he noticed her hazel eyes n her cute innocent face...... *she's cute* he thought with a slight smile.....
"Is something wrong" she asked again breaking his trace.....he quickly withdrew his hand frm her hold n moved away while looking else wer.....
"U can tell me" *God y can't she jst leave me alone*
"Listen u u..."
"Riddhima my name is Riddhima"
"Riddhima or watever i don't care.....jst leave me alone ok" he said a bit rudely...
"But i was jst trying to help" pause "I thought..."
"Keep ur thinking to urself.....n jst get LOST FROM HERE" he shouted scaring her....she turned arnd to leave wen she lost her balance fell down the 2 steps of the gazebo......
"aaahhhhhhh" hearing her cry, Armaan quickly moved towards her....
"are u ok....m sorry" he said bending down to be in level with her....."wer did it hurt" he asked....Riddhima pointed towards her left knee....
"omg its bleeding" he said feeling bad.....he looked at her n saw her staring at the cut on her knee n tears flowing down her eyes....."hello u ok" he asked worried....
"I wanna go home" she whispered soft, but he heard her.....pulling her up he supported her placing his hand on her small waist while she tightly held his shirt for support.....Armaan was very worried abt her, he had seen a very scared expression on her face while she starred at the cut....
"This is my home" she said as thy stood in front of very pretty cottage which was surrounded by lots of trees......Armaan gently knocked the door n after a moment or 2 a lady in her late thirties opened the door......she had the same innocent face n same smile like Riddhima, anyone cld clearly say tht she was Riddhima's mom, definitely as pretty as her daughter he thought.....
"Omg Riddhu baby wat happen" she asked worried to see her little angel like this...."come on baby first come in" n helped Armaan to get Riddhima inside....
"aunty actually Riddhima fell down n cut her knee abit" Armaan said wen he saw Riddhima yt staring at her knee....
"awww my baby.....beta ummmm"
"Armaan"
"Armaan can u please sit here with her while i go n get the first aid box, actually Riddhima is very scared of blood so" the lady said politely.....
"ya sure aunty" *Oohhhhh so tht explains her scared expression n her constantly staring at the slight cut* he though.....n he was right the cut was small nothing major but jst way she was staring at it was scaring him alot.....Padma came down with the first aid box n started cleaning her wound with the medicine.....Riddhima tightly clutched his hand as she felt the burning sensation bcoz of the medicine.....tears yet flow down her now closed eyes.......
"bas beta hogaya.....shhh" Padma said calming her daughter.....n finished the dressing......n moved to wash her hands....
"Armaan beta thnx for helping Riddhima, r u new here i have never seen u in town b4" Padma asked washing her hands....
"ummm yes aunty i jst came 2day" Armaan spoke uneasily as he didn't knew wat to say....."ummm actually i stay in block A" he said soft.....scared of her reaction, as he had heard frm some of his frndz tht the ppl of block B hates the rich ppl frm A block.....
"Oh tht's good" she said with a smile, surprising him abit.....
"aunty i shld leave now"
"Nope ur not leaving with out trying my new home made cake....."
"No aunty i'll leave"
"Riddhu beta ask ur new frnd to stay"
"Armaan stay here some more.....mom wont let u go with out eating" Riddhima said chuckling....
"Ok"
****************
"Aunty the cakes are delicious" Armaan said with his mouth full of cake....
"Armaan eat b4 u speak"
"soolly" he said making a baby make, making Padma n Riddhima smile at his cuteness....In a very short span of time he had bcome very frnd with the 2 Gupta ladies......usually it was very hard for him gel with new ppl, But the difference here was their frndly nature which Armaan really liked.....he had forgot everything abt his fight with his dad n how he had came running here while crying......
"Honey m home" he heard some one shout frm out side, while thy sat inside the kitchen......n saw a handsome man come n in n hugging Padma....
"he's my dad" Riddhima whispered....
"aww hows my angel" he said picking up Riddhima n kissing her fore head with love....."ur angel hurt her knee today" Padma said smiling at his loving family.....
"aww my baby is it yet paining" he asked to see her nod with a smile.....
"hmmmm we have a young guest today" he said looking at Armaan....
"dad he's Armaan my new frnd" Riddhima said holding his hand.....for an unknown reason Armaan really like how she held his hand n told her dad abt him.....
"He got Riddhima hear wen she got hurt, he lives in block A" Padma siad.....the mention of block A brought back the tension in Armaan, but it melted again as he saw Shashank smiling at him.......
"Son thnx alot for helping my Angel.....m so happy to meet u" he said patting Armaan's shoulder.....
After some more chit chat Armaan left feeling happy all over again.......for the first time after his mom's death Armaan was feeling really happy........the Gupta family was nothing like his own family......seeing the love btw Riddhima's parents he remembered the days wen his mom was alive......his step mom was nothing like her......ther was so much love in her family.....
Armaan reached home.....n sighed at the seen in frnt of him.......ther thy wer fighting again.......like always his parents hmmm his dad n his step mom fighting again n if he was not mistaken it was definitely bcoz of some jewelry she saw her frndz wearing at the kitty party today, n nw she wanted the same......sighing he went back to his room.......*no body cares for me* he thought laying on his bed feeling his eyes getting moist again........wen he felt a hand on his head, he looked up to see a women in her 40's sitting besides him........Armaan instantly hugged her n cried.....
"shhhh beta m ther for u" the lady said...
"nobody loves me" he said while crying...
"tht'n not true, i love u son" she said trying to calm him.....he cried for some time n thn went to sleep in her arms......she gently made him sleep on the bed n went down......wiping her own tears on seeing him in such condition......she was the only one Armaan was close to after his mom's death.......she was his Maria mom......actually she was his nanny but for him she was his 2nd mom.......the only person who truly love's n understands him.......
