Part 8
Weeks passed by and nothing has improved.Actually, it has gotten worse.Naina would always yell at her and Billy would just sit and ignore them.Armaan has stopped talking to her.Riddhima's waiting for Armaan to return from work.This is another thing she noticed is that he comes late from work or goes on business trips.Riddhima sat down deep in her thoughts.The door of their room opened and Armaan walks in.Riddhima stands up as he takes out his wallet and cell phone.
"Aap kahan the?" Riddhima asked looking at him.His head was down as he put his things on his bedside table.
"Office mein," Armaan replies and starts to unbutton his shirt.
"Mujhe aap ki fikar ho rahe thi.Phone toh kar dete," Riddhima said.Armaan looks at her with a mad face.Riddhima becomes scared seeing his expression.
"Mujhse tum itne sawal kyun karti ho?Jab tumhe pata hai ke main tumhe nai dekhna chatha toh itne sawal puch rahe ho," Armaan said.Riddhima was hurt and her eyes became moist.She looks down and turns around to walk out."Tum mujhse puch nai sakti thi?"Riddhima turns around and looks at him confused."Mujhe conne main lekar jaati aur mujhse nai puch sakti thi agar main iss rishte khush hoon?"
"Aap bhi toh mujhe conne main lekar jaa sakte the aur keh dete ke main iss rishte khush nai hoon," Riddhima said.Armaan looks at her.Riddhima walks out of the room to prepare Armaan's dinner.Armaan gets freshened up and walks downstairs.
"Riddhima!" Riddhima heard Naina's voice.Riddhima became more scared and ran upstairs to Naina.
"Ji Mummy ji," Riddhima said as she enters her room.
"Kal main apne dost ke ghar jaa rahe hoon toh mere yeh sari iron kardo gi.Agar jala toh dekhna main tumhara kya haal karti hoon," Naina said throwing her sari at Riddhima.Riddhima takes it off her head and walks out of the room.
Riddhima irons Naina's sari but she was lost in her thoughts that she pressed it down too hard on the sari that it burned.Riddhima heard a sizzling sound and looks down.She quickly picks up the iron and sees a burned spot on the sari.Riddhima worried and scared if Naina found out that she burned her sari.Riddhima closes her eyes at her luck.The only reason she burned it because Armaan had occupied her mind.Riddhima tried her best not to fall in love with over the weeks but her heart wouldn't listen to her.Even knowing that Armaan doesn't like her or doesn't want anything that includes her, she still fell in love.
Riddhima walks out with the burnt sari behind her back.She walks into her room and finds Naina talking to Armaan.Naina and Armaan look at Riddhima but Riddhima just looks away.She walk towards the bathroom.
"Ruko," Naina said.Riddhima stops with big eyes.She turns around and sees Naina approaching her."Meri sari." Riddhima looks down."Do mujhe." Riddhima gives the sari to Naina.Naina walks out after snatching it from Riddhima.Armaan looks at Riddhima then sits down on the bed with his laptop."Riddhima!" Riddhima closes her eyes as Naina bursts into their room."Meri sari jaladi.Ab dekho main tumhara kya karti hoon." Naina charges to Riddhima.Riddhima moves back fast.
"Nikal jaye!" Armaan yells at Naina.Naina and Riddhima look at Armaan shocked."Maine kaha nikal jaye."
"Armaan - "
"I said get out!" Armaan yells.Naina walks out after giving a dirty look to Riddhima.Riddhima looks at Armaan and he sits back down.
"Thank you," Riddhima said looking at him.He nods and goes back to his laptop.Her phone rings and she picks it up."Hello."
"Riddhima," said Padma from the other line.
"Ma," Riddhima said with a smile.Armaan looks at her.Riddhima's smile fades when she sees Armaan look at her.Riddhima walks away from him to the window."Kaise hain aap?"
"Main theek hoon.Tum batao ke tum kaise ho?" Padma said.Riddhima looks down.
"Main theek hoon," Riddhima replies.
"Aur Armaan," Padma said.Riddhima turns her head and looks at Armaan then looks back down.
"Woh bhi theek hain," Riddhima said.
"Beta tumhare yaad bohut aa rahe hai.Tum aur Armaan kyun nai aa jaate yahan ek hafte ke liye?" Padma gave an idea.Riddhima looks at Armaan.
"Mujhe nai lagta ke woh aaye ge," Riddhima said.
"Unko phone do main baat karti hoon," Padma said.Riddhima walks to Armaan and puts the phone away from her ear and covers the speaker.
"Ma aap se baat karna chathi hai," Riddhima said.
"Maine nai karni," Armaan said still looking at the screen of his laptop.
"Please baat karliye jiye na," Riddhima said.Armaan glares at her and Riddhima looks down.
"Maina kaha na," Armaan said.Riddhima puts the phone back against her ear.
"Ma woh thak gaye hai aur sone wale hain," Riddhima said.
"Acha toh phir tum baat karlo unse phir mujhe batana," Padma said.
"Ji," Riddhima said and hung up.Riddhima sat on her side of the bed and looks at Armaan."Ma cha rahi hai ke hum dono udar ek hafte ke liye chale jaye."
"Main nai jaa raha.Agar tum jaana chaho toh jaa sakti ho," Armaan said.
"Main aap ke bina kahin nai jao gi," Riddhima said.Armaan looks at her then back at his screen.
"Toh phir nai jao," Armaan said.
"Sirf ek hafte ki toh baat hai.Ma aur Papa ko acha lage ga ke aap aaye," Riddhima said.Armaan shuts his laptop and puts it away.
"Maine nai jaana tumhe yeh baat kyun nai samajh aa rahe?" Armaan said.Riddhima looks at him with tears in her eyes."Dekho tumhe yeh rona dhona band karna hoga.Mujhe koi farak nai padega agar tum ro rahe ho."
"Aap mujhse aise kyun behave karte hain?" Riddhima asked.Armaan lays down and turns off the light."Boliye na."
"Riddhima so jao," Armaan said.
"Nai mujhe bataye ke aap - " Riddhima gasps when Armaan turned over and pinned her underneath him.Riddhima tried to get wrists free but Armaan held them tight."Chode." Armaan leans his face close to hers.Riddhimat turns her face away then looks at Armaan.
"Agar tumne ek aur lavz bola toh main," Armaan left it incomplete and moved closer to her face. Armaan gets off of her and lays with his back to her.Riddhima turns her back to him and cries. Armaan hears her crying but ignores it and closes his eyes.
