Hi Mansi...
I know I am late with the comment, I mean its already around a dozen and a half pages over and I am here after long. Waise, congratulations and all the very best for this newest addition to your FF... I mean the new thread.
Now about the part... The sort of intro-title said it all and was enough to create curiosity. But then how can we resist reading the part itself...
It is finally reaching its spot... I mean realization about what is Armaan for her. The thought of leaving him is making her conscious, but still want her to feel restless. When she was reading his diary, I was happy to see her guilty for her behavior towards Armaan. But I was also disappointed when she suspected Armaan yet again for his intentions with Vivek... I mean she has known Armaan for long enough now, but still when it comes to Vivek, the first thought that passes her mind is ALWAYS if Armaan is 'planning' to trap Vivek. I feel sorry for Armaan. I know Riddhima will realize it very soon.
Finally she met Vivek... abruptly, but she had to meet him someday. What I liked the most about that scene was Riddhima's resolute not to leave without informing Armaan... atleast she respects and cares that much.
I was extremely shocked on reading Riddhima and Vivek's conversation. Vivek was perfect with every word. The balance he had managed to keep while trying to allure her into his so-called-reality, was presented so aptly that it was enough to fool any person. I so hated him for lying. But at the same time, a new thing that I noticed made me smile... and that was despite of his scornful words against Armaan, Riddhima's support was strong enough to stay intact. I think Catherine was like another Angel sent to reveal the truth. She did what none could have done... cleared mud from the glass so that Riddhima could see the real picture.
The way Vivek was telling her everything made him a poor soul who was trapped by mishappenings of life, but I was confused about one thing and that is – Gabe... I mean who does she belonged to? Was she Vivek's or someone else's? Then when Rob butted in, I knew that Vivek was trying to hide the fact that Gabe was an outcome of his own betrayal... he is a disgusting man.
Finally, I had to pat Riddhima's back for being smart. She figured out through her quick calculations that Vivek was lying to her all the time and he had no intentions of getting back to her. Even right now he was just trying to look innocent to save his *s* from being kicked. But atleast he is human enough to feel something for his daughter. That's a relief and its good also in a sense, coz this will be the biggest reason of him not turning his towards Riddhima ever again.
Armaan, dude don't worry, your coast is clear now. But I am more than just sure that he still has so much to do. His relationship with Riddhima is still on the edge of cliff. By whatever I have gathered from Riddhima's character, I can say that it will take time for her to forget and forgive. And ever if she does is able to do that, she will take time to move on in her life. Another thing that concerns me is that, if she chose to stay with Armaan, then I am not sure she will realize it soon enough that she has fallen for Armaan. *sigh* I wonder how much more efforts Armaan has to put in? *sigh*
Thanks for the PM dear.
