Its been 6 months, since that terrifying ,horrendous day that just changed everything ,changed my life '.our life. When I look back I feel why did this always happen with us , why ? Was loving someone ,wanting to be with someone.. so wrong ? Was it so wrong.. that the almighty never let us be together and if we did fight the odds , overcome all that came between us ,something else just found its way between us . Just when we had found life back , gotten over the terrible memories of the ghosts of our past ,God had to remind us how wrong we were in thinking that we could now be together.
But love for me means more then what it means for anyone ,maybe because the lack of it in my life made me realize its value so much .. that I can give up my life but not the love ,the love I live for, the love my heart yearns for the love who is the reason of my existence 'My Riddhima . I have never lost hope ,I will never because I know that both of us exist for each other, we maybe different ,maybe poles apart ,but we are complete together and that thought ,that belief has kept me alive. I shall fight it ,we WILL fight it, all the pain ,all the terrifying memories ,and we shall come together .
"Good Morning Basket, wake up its 9 already ," Riddhima held his hand tight and bought it under his cheek and continued sleeping " Hmm Armaan let me sleep please ,mujhe bahut neend aa rahi hai, " she frowned in her sleep ,Armaan smiled looking at her, she looked so cute in her sleep ,so innocent ,his basket, he knew she would get all cranky when woken up from her beauty sleep .He would have to cajole her like a small baby ,he caressed her head with the other hand ,moving a flick of her hair bothering her .He didn't have the heart to wake her up .Seeing that smile on her face that he didn't of get to see ,he didn't want to take that off his sweethearts face .He just slid next to her and keeping his head on hers just let her sleep for a while ,let her weave the beautiful dream she was at that moment ,before she woke up to reality again .
"Basket ab chalo be a good girl and get up its really late ,and I really wouldn't mind you sleeping baby lekin its your medicine time isn't it? " ," Tch I don't want them Armaan, " she said ,her smile fading listening to him , she moved his hand away continuing to sleep just not wanting to open her eyes to the harsh truth. Armaan knew what was on her mind ,but he wouldn't let her think about it ,and anyways there was no escape to having the medicine .So he caught her in his arms and pulled her up ,she squirmed in his hold and tried to get out of it "Armaan what are you doing ,leave me " ,"No I wont basket, I assume you haven't noticed you haven't given me my morning kiss, " he said teasingly, made her sit comfortably on his lap and hugged her to himself with her head on his shoulder and caressed her hair ,then nuzzling into them ,then rocking her side to side in his hold trying to wake her up " Armaan ,you think am a baby ,ye kya kar rahe ho ," '"Basket tumhari tape teen saal se bas issi baat par atki hai ,do you really never realize mai kya kar raha hun ,ya phir itni besharam ho ki you want to hear it from me ,ki mai exactly kya kar rahaa hun, " hearing that made her smile and blush hard but she obviously wouldn't show it to him ,so she did what she always did when she had to hide her blush 'hit him ,"OWW Basket ,that's a good way not to show how affected you are by me " ," Oh not you Armaan tumhari ye bakwaas baatein ", she said finally smiling .
Looking sleepily into his eyes, he knew her so well, he knew how to take her out of her every pain, her every fear and with him by her side ,she knew she wouldn't need anyone else ever, she just hoped to wake up to this every morning and sent a prayer to the almighty to grant him atleast her this wish .She looked at him his hair coming on his forehead ,looking back at her smiling ,she smiled back and moved them away from his head giving him a sweet kiss on his head and teased him back ,"Khud toh Good Morning kiss di nahi and you are sulking about it to me, " Armaan let out a chuckle at that and then without waiting another moment took her into a kiss ,she leaned into him savouring this moment ,trying to be happy and forgetting everything that bought her pain, because being with him could only bring her happiness . Armaan moved back and held her face in his hands and said " Ab kuch kha le am hungry and am sure ,so are you," .." No am not Armaan ,tum kha lo na please mai baad mai kha lungi, " Armaan frowned ,this was everyday's routine ,but he knew how to deal with her now ." What yaar basket ,tumhe pata hai I am awake since the last two hours, lekin maine kuch nahi khaya only because I was waiting for you ,because I wanted to eat breakfast with my Basket, lekin tumhe toh sirf apni bhook ki padi hai ,apne Armaan ki nahi ," he faked a pout and slowly put her back on the bed ,getting up ,Riddhima panicked looking at him leave and held his hand , " Naaraz ho gaye ? , When he didn't reply and just kept pouting like he was ,she kissed his hand and pulled him back on the bed , "Acha baba Sorry , jao go get breakfast, " when he didn't move and kept frowning, secretly enjoying the attention ,she moved his face towards himself and held her ears and said "Kaha na Sorry jao go get the breakfast ,..tch ab jao bhi mai ja pati toh le aati ",Armaan at once looked up at her, shocked how she said that as if it didn't pinch her at all ,he saw through her nonchalance he knew she was sad ,he didn't want her to think about it all over again ,so he smiled and kissed her head and got up to leave, but stopped, he knew if he would leave her here she would start wallowing in the pain all over again and he didn't want that ,he would do anything to let that angelic smile of hers to always adorn her face.
So he turned back and picked her up in his arms and started to walk towards the kitchen ,"Kya kar rahe ho Armaan where are you taking me ,and why like this wheel chair toh waha hai ? ", Armaan frowned and said ," Mere hote hua tumhe uski koi zaroorat nahi hai , I can hold you in my arms all my life " ,"I hope you don't have to Armaan not this way atleast " , " I wont have to basket ,sooner or later you'll be picking me up and not the other way round " , " You are being way too delusional Armaan , itni umeed rakhna acha nahi hota ", "Umeed par toh duniya kayam hai sweetheart aur phir jo mai keh raha hun who toh sach hai and NOW enough of this discussion , mujhe bahut bhook lagi hai so before I pass out please lets go eat " . She nodded sighing and he took her to the kitchen and made her sit on a chair there while he begun making breakfast for them and Riddhima looked on , at the man of her dreams ,the man who meant more then her life ,who deserved so much love much more then she was giving him and much more then what she could offer to him .
He loved her so much ,so much that he could give up his life ,his happiness , his dreams everything just to be with her ,to be by her side ,make her smile .But that's not what he deserved ,she thought , this was not what she wanted him to live for ,he had given up on everything ,his career, his life ,his country all for her, to get her to U.S just so that she could get cured and walk back on her feet .But as much as she wanted them to be together ,she felt like it was taking undue advantage of the love he had for her, she knew he meant everything he said ,he could be with her and take care of her all life ,but she didn't want her weaknesses to come in his way ,she didn't want that life for him .It wasn't easy ,it wasn't going to get easier , she couldn't even manage to make it to the washroom certain times ,she would wet the bed too and he'd diligently clean it up , she couldn't go anywhere she wanted ,she would need him to take her in his arms everywhere ,she would have weird mood swings everyday ,she would be low ,give up on all hope ,she would be happy once and just scream at him .
But he never ever said anything ,he would understand ,always understand ,and just be with her ,be with her every possible moment of his life. His conditional , selfless love made her feel guilty ,guilty for all that she was putting him through ,she knew they couldn't exist without each other ,she knew he would break to a level of no return if they couldn't be together ,but she couldn't help feel this wasn't right ,that she wasn't right ,she didn't deserve him .
