#7 Kya Pyar Aisa Bhi Ho Skta Hai???(AR)note-155 - Page 2

Part-221

Armaan smiled seeing riddhima who's sleeping peacefully in his arms, he kept on caressing her back side by side reminding all the events that occurred in last 7 hours from riddhima getting down from ship, her teary as well as scary face, her anger and disappointment then finally her everlasting smile which always compels him to fall in love with her again and again, he came in present when felt riddhima's movement, he looked down and found her forehead compressed, before he could understand anything riddhima partially opened her eyes and looked at armaan..

A: kya hua shona??

Riddhima didn't reply and got up, looked here and there while making face, armaan again asked her but she ignored him, armaan got confused and he too started looking here and there trying to point out "what she is looking for", she slightly got excited and holds his hand, armaan looked at her with double confusion and before he could say anything, riddhima again falls on bed after keeping his hand on her own back, he made weird face, riddhima again got up and holds his second arm and placed it under her head, then again goes to sleep, her hair got scattered on her face,

armaan in confusion removed her flicks from her face, she made angry face and shouted "tumhe meri neend se koi problem hai kya??" armaan at once got scared seeing her shouting and mumbled "maine kya kiya??" riddhima again holds his hand and with in a second goes in deep slumber, armaan looked at her in shock and mumbled "impossible", then started caressing her back,in next second her face again filled with contentment making armaan smile,

he bends down and kisses on her forehead, then slightly caressed her lips and sighed then thought "ye aapke chehre ki chamak aur muskaan hi humse bade bade gunaah karwati hai, yehi majbur karte hai mujhe paap karne ke liye, ye ek mahina jo bhi hua sab aapki paapi muskaan ka kasur tha, na ye aapke labho se ghum hoti na aapka chehra itna feeka lagta na hume iss muskaan ko dhundne ke liye aapse dur hona padta, kaash iss smile ko inn hootton par permanent fix karne ki mere pass koi tube hoti .."

he visualized applying tube named "khushi fix" on riddhima's lips who's looking gloomy and after applying tube she started smiling and her face started glowing, armaan mumbled with excitement "are wah kya tube hai" and instantly mumbled "aau" and looked at riddhima who's ready to give him another punch but he holds her hand on time, she makes a cry face before she could get up and say anything armaan pulled her in his arms tightly "sorry baby sorry ab no masti, pucka",

he patted her back and soon she calmed down, armaan kept on looking at her and thought "ye meri riddhima hai, wohi 5 saal puraani riddhima, pal mai pyaari, pal mai mahakali,pal mai pyaar ka badal bankar baras jaati hai aur dusre hi pal bacho se bhi chotti ho jaati hai, samajhdaari aur patience se bahut dur, deewangi aur paagalpan ke bahut kareeb, ye meri riddhima hai, meri basket", he came out of thoughts when heard his phone ringing, he quickly looked at riddhima with his hand searching for phone and found chirag's name flashing, he quickly picked up phone..

Ch: kaha hai be???

A: (murmured) kyu???

Ch: sach sach bol kya kia hai tune riddhima ke saath?? Achanak kaha gayab ho gaye tum log?? Teri khopdi mai chal kya raha hai???

A: tune subah ke 6 baje ye bakwas karne ke liye phone kiya hai??

Ch: naatak mat kar aur niche aakar darwaja khol, abhi batata hu tujhe…

A: kyaaa??? Tu kaha par hai??

Ch: darwaja khol, pata chal jaayega… (armaan placed pillow in between riddhima's arms and quietly goes down still surprised as he didn't tell anyone about their where abouts, so how come chirag knows, he opened the door in confusion only to receive 2 punches on either side of his face, he mumbled "aauuu" and was on the verge of falling but was caught on time, before he could understand anything he heard some words which were unclear "jao andar se jaakar sabko utha lao", armaan was shocked and opened his eyes, tried to look around but his vision was blurry, he again heard " mera muh kya dekh rahe ho, jao uppar uss kamre mai aur.." before that someone could complete his words armaan with blurry eyes hits tightly in his stomach and turned to stop others from moving up, but before he could he's pushed forcibly and he immediately landed on floor, thanks to carpet he's saved, he tried to get up in anger but felt as if baby elephant settled on his back, he pushed his hands tightly against floor such that his body was lil up making baby elephant fall from his back and mumbled "dekhta hun ab meri riddhima aur mere bacho ko koi kaise haath lagata hai, jaan le lunga sabki…", he got up with force thinking about them, he slightly feared and looked towards stairs, his vision was still blurred but found some men were crossing the stairs, he moved a bit but someone holds his shoulder, he in anger turned and was ready to punch but stopped in shock when found chirag standing in front of him..

A: tuu?? (before chirag could reply he heard "chup chap sun kya rahe ho, maarte kyu nahi isse??", armaan turned and found ritu rubbing her elbows with an angry face, chirag was on the verge of punching him again but armaan holds his hands in confusion) ye ho kya raha hai??? Chirag tu yaha kaise?? Aur ritu?? Aur wo uppar kon gaya hai??(he looked towards stairs little worriedly, then looked at chirag who's starring him angrily) tujhe hua kya hai?? Aise gusse mai kyu ghur raha hai jaise maine koi bahut bada kaand kar diya ho?? (he hardly completed his words when he received a tight slap on his head, he turned and found ritu standing with hands on hips, armaan gets irritated as no one is telling him what's going around) abe hua kya hai??

Ri: (holding his collar) aawaj niche karke baat kar, chillane se teri galtiyaan kam nahi ho jaayegi…

A: (finally joining his hands) meri maa, mujhe bata de maine kya gunaah kiya hai jo subah ke 6:30 baje mujhe itna acha aur meetha parshad diya jaa raha hai, iss gareeb par itni badi daya karne ki wajah kya hai maate??? (ritu holds his collar more tightly, before she could say anything, she heard..)

Chipkalli Bhabi.. (all looked towards stairs and found rishab standing with lil smile)

Ri: bol kabutar, kya khabar hai??? Saara ghar check kiya ache se???

Rishab: ji bhabi, and don't worry riddhima bhabi zinda hai.. (armaan's eyes got widened hearing this) ghar par koi bhi aisi cheez nahi mili jo bhabi ko nuksaan pahunchane ke liye rakhi gayi ho, waise hamari investigation team abhi bhi apni duty kar rahi hai, sonal riddhima bhabi ka aur swati bacho ka check-up kar rahi hai, hopefully saari reports negative hi hongi, armaan bhaiya ne unnpar koi jaanlewa hamla karne ki koshish nahi ki hogi…(armaan's shocked yet again..)

Ri: agar aisa hua to samajh le aaj din acha hai, bhagwan khud iss kayue ki jaan ki raksha kar raha hai, par agar kahi se bhi negativity ki thodi sib hi smell aayi to aaj iss kayue ka kaam khallas…..(she glared at armaan, armaan registered all the words in his mind again) waise ridhima kar kya rahi hai??

Rs: so rahi hai..

Ri: theek se check kiya hai na, so hi rahi hai na?? kahi behosh to nahi hai??? (rishab shaked his head)

A: (finally dropping ritu's hand down and little angrily) bas bahut ho gaya yaar, kya chal raha hai ye sab???

Ri: maine kaha na aawaj niche karke baat kar…

A: shut-up ritu, its not funny anymore..

Ri: tujhe kya mai nautanki waali najar aati hun jo har waqt mai tera entertainment karti rahungi, fun to tune har cheez ka bana diya hai, har cheez mai majak, har cheez mai masti, chahe kissi par kuch bhi effect ho tumhare iss so-called fun ka…. (she looked him angrily, armaan looked at chirag hoping that he'll help him in clearing his confusion, but)

Ch: armaan ritu sahi keh rahi hai yaar, iss baar tune har hadd paar kar di..

A: (irritated fully) ab tum log bata rahe ho ki hua kya hai..

Ri: hume kuch nahi batana armaan, batayega to tu kit ere dimaag mai chal kya raha hai??(armaan understood that its indeed serious else ritu wouldn't have called him armaan)

A: (taking deep breathe) acha chal pehle paani pee, phir aaraam se baat karte hai…(she makes face but then settled in lobby, armaan gave water to both of them, then settled near them) haanji ab bolo.. (ritu's looking more calm now)

Ri: kya kar raha hai tu?? Kuch batata kyu nahi hai hume?? Riddhima aur tere beech mai koi problem hai kya??? Waise dost kehta hai hume, aur iss tarah se dostiyo ka farz nibhata hai…

A: ritu kisne kaha ki riddhima aur mere beech mai koi problem hai??

Ch: dekh armaan jhutt mat bol, andhe nahi hai hum, pichle 1 mahine se tu riddhima ke saath kaise behave kar raha hai sab notice kiya hai humne, use itna ignore karna, uss se jayda dusre ke saath time spend karna, ye sab kya hai yaar?? Abhi to tumhari jindagi ne normal hona shuru kiya tha aur uss se pehle hi ye sab??? Kahi Riddhima ke liye tera pyaar kam to nahi ho gaya?? Tujhe nahi lagta ki tu pichle 5 saalo ko phir se jeene ke liye itna gum ho gaya ki meri bahen ka saath usme kahin na kahin kho raha hai,

riddhima ko notice kiya maine, kitna miss karti thi tujhe ye bhi dekha maine, mujhe laga ye sab aise hi hai, par kal to had hi ho gayi armaan, tune riddhima ko itna pareshan kar diya ki wo tujhe chodkar jaane tak ke liye taiyar ho gayi, tune uss se ladai ki, uss ladki se jisse tu apni jindagi kehta hai, ye kaisa pyaar ho gaya hai tera??? Kya ho gaya hai tujhe??? Kyu kiya tune aisa?? Aur tune kuch bhi hume batana jaruri nahi samjha, itni problems chal rahi thi tumhare beech mai aur tune hume hawa bhi nahi lagne di, kyuu??

A: ok.. ok.. relax.. aisa kuch bhi nahi hai jaisa tumhe lag raha hai, riddhima aur mere beech koi ladai nahi hai yaar, sach mai..

Ch: vedic, ritu, rishab, sonal, mai hum sab kya paagal hai, jinhe baithe baithe sapna aaya ki kuch problem hai tum logo ke beech mai, kisse bewkuf banane ki koshish kar raha hai tu???

A: ohh, to ye vedic ka kaam hai, paetu kahi ka,dimaag hai nahi uske paas, phir bhi use karne se piche nahi hat ta… (he makes a face) anyways, chirag kal jo bhi hua wo sab planned tha, mai riddhima ko surprise karna chahta tha, issliye ladai ka naatak aur wo sab karna pada.. (chirag gave him unconvinced look) sach mai chirag, sab perfect hai, tujhe to ye cheez batane ki jarurat nahi hai atleast…

Ch: sab planned tha to tune hume kuch kyyu nahi bataya?? Waise to har cheez batata hai to iss baar kya hua???

A: Iss baar tum log meri help nahi kar sakte the chirag…

Ri: pata hai armaan, pichle ek mahine se riddhima paagalo ki tarah tujhe anniversary surprise dene ki taiyari kar rahi thi, tu uss bechari ko itna pareshan karta tha, use waqt nahi deta tha aur uska saara waqt hi tera tha, kitni mehnat ki thi anniversary party ke liye aur tere iss bekaar se plan ne uski mehnat par sab paani daal diya, tum ladke log kuch nahi sochte na kissi ke bare mai, jo mann mai aata hai karte ho, kissi aur ke dil mai kya chal raha hai, koi kya chahta hai tumhe koi farak nahi padta….

A: (smiled) farak padta hai tabhi to ye sab karna padta hai, riddhima chahe bole ya na bole par wo hamari anniversary apne ghar par, means yaha par celebrate karna chahti thi…

Ri: bekaar ki baatein hai armaan ye, bahana hai ye.. tujhe to farak nahi padta uski mehnat kharab karne se, par mujhe padta hai, hum yahi par party karenge, mai sab arrangements karwati hun, jaisa riddhima ne waha ship par kiya tha…. (she got up and suddenly) waise teri dosti ki data deni padegi armaan, achi dosti nibhata hai tu, Mumbai mai uttar gaya aur hume batana bhi jaruri nahi samjha, wo to captain suddenly hume mil gaye to unse sab pata chal gaya, nahi to hume to kal hi sab pata chalta…

A: wo mujhe laga ki apne kaaran tumhara maja kharab nahi karna chahiye, issliye.. (ritu glared him angrily once again, then goes out and came with a very big bag and placed it in armaan's lap)

Ri: ye riddhima ka gift hai tere liye, uske room se aate hue le aayi thi… chirag jaise hi decorations hoti hai, hum log nikalte hai, tum apna office join kar lo, jab logo ko hamari parwah nahi hai to hume bhi unke liye apna keemti waqt barbaad nahi karna chahiye… (she looked at armaan with disappointment and goes)

A: ritu… (he makes face)

Ch: tujhe pata hai na armaan wo tum logo se bahut attached hai, use hurt hota hai jab tu aisi harkattein karta hai, apna banakar minute mai paraya kar deta hai, tumhare saath rehna tha bas issliye ye trip banaya tha, warna goa to hum rehkar aayein hi hai, phir se hum uss jagah kyu jaate??

A: I'm sorry yaar, par dimaag itna occupied tha ki ye sab socha hi nahi, aaj to anniversary day kam aur ruthna-manana day jayda lag raha hai…

(chirag finally hugged armaan tightly and wished him anniversary)

Ch: chal ab mood mat kharab kar, ritu abhi theek ho jaayegi khud hi.. (armaan nodded) haan to ab bata ki hua kya hai???

A: kya matlab??

Ch: dekh uss waqt ritu thi, to maine jayda force nahi kiya, mujhe pata hai ki ye sab plan tune achanak se nahi banaya hoga, riddhima ko ignore karna and all, kuch badi wajah hogi iss sab ke piche, suddenly yaha Mumbai apne ghar aane ka plan, ye jaante hue bhi ki issi Mumbai ne tum logo ki itne dukh diye hai, yaha par aane ka matlab phir se pichli jindagi ki dastak tumhari aane waali jindagi par hona, phir bhi tune anniversary ke liye ya jagah hi select ki, to koi badi wajah hi hogi iske piche…(armaan wanted to say something but) dekh baat palatne ki koshish mat kariyo, koi fayda nahi hoga, tujhe kitne saalo se jaanta hun, ye bhi jaanta hun ki tujhe cruise par rehne ke liye kitna excited tha, Mumbai ka to plan achanak bana hai, warna tu to iss shaher ko bhi cross karke nahi jaana chahta tha, phir tune ye sab kiya, kyu???

A: pata hai chirag, jab mujhe realize hua tha ki meri legs theek ho gayi hai, mere liye iss se badi khushi ki baat aur koi nahi thi, mai ussi waqt bhul gaya tha ki pichle 5 saalon mai kya kya hua hai, khushi hi bahut thi apne paeron par khade hone ki, unn 5 saalon mai sirf ek aisa saathi tha mera jo har pal mera haath thame hue challa tha aur wo thi meri riddhima, hum dono ka dukh mujhe equal lagta tha, isliye jab mai theek hua to mujhe laga tha ki riddhima mujhse jayda khush hogi, wo andar se jhoom jaayegi, use apni khushi express hi nahi karni aayegi itni paagal ho jaayegi wo khushi se, wo bhi meri tarah pichle 5 saalon ko apne dil se nikal degi…

Ch: to?? (chirag looked him questionably)

A: par aisa nahi tha chirag, wok hush nahi thi… (chirag looked him shockingly)

A: I mean wo khush thi, jab usne mujhe apne paero par khada dekha tha to uski khushi ka thikaana nahi tha, par jaise jaise waqt nikla riddhima ki khushi kam hoti gayi, mujhe lagta raha ki wo theek se khud ko express nahi kar paa rahi hai par phir ehsaas hua ki kuch hai jo mai nahi samajh paa raha hun..

Ch: nahi armaan tujhe galat fehmi hui hai, riddhima bahut khush hai, sach mai…

A: (laughed) don't worry, mai teri bahen ki shikayat nahi kar raha, so stop defending her.. (chirag kinda bit his tongue) chirag I know wo bahut khush hai, par uss khushi ke saath bahut bada dard bhi chuppa hua tha jo chahkar bhi riddhima ko khush nahi hone de raha tha.. (he reminded riddhima's b'day, when for the first time he felt that their's something that's bothering riddhima) mai apni khushi mai riddhima ko theek se padna hi bhul gaya, wo kiss situation se gujar rahi hai ye samajh hi nahi paaya, apne aap hi soch liya tha ki riddhima ab bas khush hi rahegi….

Ch: armaan paheliya mat bhuja, saaf saaf bata kit u kya kehna chahta hai??

A: chirag kabhi kissi apne ko dubte hue ya jalte hue dekha hai?? (chirag made a confused face)

Ch: matlab???

A: (looking at ship that's on side table) jab ek kashti toofan mai phas jaati hai aur bachne ka koi scope hi nahi reh jaata, to insaan jeene ki asha chod deta hai, maut ka darr bhi use sata raha hota hai par dil jaanta hai ki ab maut hi uska sach hai, wahi uss insaan ka koi bahut kareebi banda jo ye sab kinare par khade hokar dekh raha hai wo shock mai reh jaata hai, dukh ho raha hota hai ki wo kuch kar nahi paa raha apne pyaar ko bachane ke liye,

apne pyara ko khone ka darr bhi lag raha hota hai aur maut ka ye khatarnaak khel waise hi andar tak jhakjhod raha hota hai, itni daer tak toofan ke aane ke baad achanak se sab shaant ho jaaye aur kashti kinare par aa jaaye, to jo insaan kashti par sawaar hota hai uski khushi ka koi thikana nahi rehta, use nai jindagi jo mil jaati hai pal-pal marne ke baad, wo insaan itna excited ho jaata hai nayi jindagi milne se ki wo kuch pal pehle kya hua wo sab dil ke kissi kone mai aise lock karta hai ki wo kabhi khul hi na paaye,

wo sab dukh bhul jaata hai aur khushi mai jhumta hai, par jo insaan kinare pe khada hokar sab dekh raha hota hai uska haal koi nahi samajh sakta, use khushi to bahut hai ki uska pyaar sahi salamat uske saamne hai par darr, dard uss insaan ka kabhi saath nahi chodte, kabhi sapne mai to kabhi khuli aankho mai wo maut ka khatarnaak manjar ghumta hi rehta hai, hamare case mai kashti pe sawaar insaan mai tha, aur kinare par khadi uss manjar ko dekhne waali riddhima thi, mujhe lagta tha ki hamara dukh equal hoga, par kaha yaar… mera dukh riddhima ke dard ke aage kuch bhi nahi tha.

Mai to bas toofan se jhujh raha tha, par riddhima kinare par khade rehkar mujhe doobta hua bhi dekh rahi thi, bacho ko bhi sambhal rahi thi aur logo ko bhi face kar rahi thi, mai theek hokar sab kuch bhul gaya kyunki uss darawne toofan ko yaad karke apni aane waali jindagi nahi kharab karna chahta tha aur yahi expect riddhima se kiya, par yahi mai galat tha..

Pichle 5 saalon mai riddhima ne bahut hi jayda himmat dikhayi hai chirag, meri weakness ko apne pyaar aur vishwas ki taakat se sincha hai, usne apna har gam bhula diya bas har pal yahi koshish karti rahi ki mai theek ho jaun aur uski mehnat rang bhi laayi, inn 3 saalo mai wo padhayi mai, bachon ka dhyan rakhne mai aur mere case mai itna khoyi thi ki ankit, sanjeevani ya aarish ke accident ke bare mai bilkul soch hi nahi paayi, uska piche 3 saalon se bas ek hi motive tha, mujhe theek karna aur jab wo motive pura hua to wo khush hui par dheere dheere uska dil, dimaag use 3 saalon se pehle waali jindagi mai khinchne laga aur uski khushi kam hoti gayi aur dard bhadta gaya, bahut kuch ashen kiya tha yaar, kaise bhul paayegi…

Ch: (trying to understand his words, then) riddhima ne kuch kaha tha kya??

A: (shaked his head) wo khud kuch kehti to last month itna ajeeb tareeke se na nikalta, problem to yahi hai ki usne kuch kaha nahi, andar hi andar khud hi apne dard aur khushi mai ghulti rahi…

Ch: to tujhe ye sab kaise

A: (cutting him) mujhe riddhima ke b'day par ehsaas hua ki kuch hai jo mai miss kar raha hun, kuch hai.. wo meri riddhima nahi thi, wo mujhse dur jaa rahi thi, wo charm, wo passion kuch nahi tha usme, maine diwali tak use note kiya aur indirectly baat karne ki koshish bhi ki par wo kuch nahi boli, finally usne mere paas koi solution nahi choda, to maine diwali par..

Ch: (cutting him and with shock) uski drink mai daaru tune hi millayi thi??

A: hmmm.. (nodding)

Ch: tabhi wok eh rahi thi ki cold drink bahut kadwi hai aur hum sab uska majak bana rahe the, aur 1 glass nahi tune use 3 glass dary pillayi.. (armaan again nodded) tera dimaag to nahi kharab ho gaya hai???agar kuch ulta seedha ho jaata to??

A: mai tha uske saath chirag, use thamne ke liye hi to tha mai, uss waqt daaru se jayda important mujhe riddhima ke dil ka haal jaan na lag raha tha, kyunki mai puchta bhi to wo mujhe aadhi adhuri baatein batati aur mai wo sab nahi chahta tha, mai uske dil ki hare k feeling samajhna chahta tha, issliye ye karna pada…

Ch: aur riddhima issliye 1.5 din tak behosh rahi, tujhe ek baar nahi hua ki hume bata de, hum log tension ke kaaran paagal ho rahe the…

A: paagal ko paagal hone jarurat nahi hoti.. (he tried to smile, but stopped on seeing chirag's face) chirag seriously uss waqt jo mujhe sahi laga wo maine kiya, ek patient ko treat karne se pehle uski bimari pata lagani jaruri hoti hai aur bimari seedhe dhang se na pata chale to ulta dhang hi apnana padta hai.. (chirag after a bit got normal, armaan goes in flashback when he gave riddhima her drink)

Flashback..

After having 3 glasses of cold drink, riddhima holds her head..

R: armaan mera sir kyu ghum raha hai??

A: (holding her hands) may be suffocation ke kaaran, challo deck par chalte hai… (riddhima smiled with red eyes, armaan took her on deck, when cold breeze touched their faces, riddhima clapped with happiness, armaan asked dj to play soft and slightly sad songs, who nodded, armaan asked riddhima for dance, she got up happily)

Armaan holds her from her waist carefully and kept on noticing her, she kept her head on his shoulder and slowly slowly engulfed herself in him so as to remain secured, and after a while she started crying, armaan looked her..

A: hey kya hua???

R: (kissing him) armaan main a tumse bahut pyaar karti hun, please phir mujhe chodkar kabhi mat jaana, tumhare alava mera koi nahi hai…

A: tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki mai tumhe chodkar jaunga??

R: tum nahi chodkar jaaoge par kya pata ye duniya tumhe mujhse dur karne ki phir se koshish kare..

A: duniya jitni marji koshish karle, par riddhima-armaan kabhi alag nahi ho sakte, haina??? (riddhima didn't reply) kya hua shona?? Kuch hai jo tum kehna chahti ho???(riddhima shaked her head) tum khush ho na???

R: khush nahi bahut khush hun, itna saara….(she opened her arms widely, armaan kisses on her forehead)

A: par mujhe to tumhari khushi najar hi nahi aati, aisa kyu??? Aisa kyu lagta hai jaise tum mere theek hone se bhi khush nahi ho???(riddhima looked him with blinking eyes, songs, daaru started showing their effects) mujhe to laga tha ki tum khushi se paagal ho jaaogi to phir tumhara wo paagalpan najar kyu nahi aata??? Aisa kya hai jo meri riddhima ki khushiyo ke beech mai aa raha hai???

R: (hugging armaan tightly and with tears) armaan mai khush hun, mai yahi to chahti thi ki tum theek ho jao aur tum theek ho gaye ho, bas mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye…

A: meri jhalli basket ko to jhut bhi nahi bolna aata theek se… (riddhima kept mum for a while, then)

R: armaan mai paagal ho jaungi…(she settled on floor, armaan holds her, she cried) armaan kya kasoor tha mera??? Kyu itna suffer karna pad raha hai, har mod par itni pariksha kyu ho rahi hai, mai pariksha dene se nahi darti armaan, par hun to insaan hi, kyu baar baar apna pyaar prove karne ke liye mujhe pariksha mai utara jaata hai, aur problem iss baat se hai ki bhagwanji wo pariksha nahi le rahe, ye insaan, mere jo kabhi apne hua karte the wo hi mujhe baar-baar katghare mai laakar khada kar dete hai, kyu meri jindagi mai koi bhi relation stable nahi hai, kyu aisa hai ki ek rishta banane ke liye mujhe baaki sab rishte khone hi padenge, bas mai thak gayi hun… (armaan kept on caressing her but remained mum)

Thak gayi hun armaan apni, apne bachon ki, apne pyaar ki, tumhari boli lagwa lagwa kar, kabhi papa, kabhi di, kabhi maa, kabhi naani, kabhi rahul-muskaan, kabhi atul, kabhi ankit, kabhi sanjna,kabhi niki,kabhi abhi, har ek ne test kiya hume, mai bhulne ki koshish karti hun armaan, par nahi bhul pati tumhare accident ko, wo darr, wo tumhari body khoon se bhari hui, mai bhulna chahti hun par nahi bhul paati jab mujhse ye kaha gaya ki ab tum kabhi bhi chal nahi paaoge, mera bacha, hamare pyaar ki nishaani, mera pyaara sa chotta sa rishu jo abhi 1 saal ka bhi nahi hua tha use kaise uppar se giraya gaya,

mera nanha sa raja chikhta rehta tha dard mai aur mai uska dard nahi cheen paati thi, mai bhulna chahti hun par nahi bhul paati jab hamare bache ko jalane ki koshish ki gayi, mera b'day, wo karwa chauth, wo sabka mujhe gande naamo se bulana, koi nahi tha uss waqt mere paas, koi nahi tha uss waqt kissi ka bhi muh band karne ke liye, sabki ungaliyan meri taraf thi, jiss ladki ko hamesha se best character ka award milta raha tha, use logo ne ek minute mai characterless bana diya tha, kaise bhulu ki tum mujhe divorce dena chahte the,

humne to kabhi kissi ka kuch nahi bigada tha armaan, simple aur seedha saadha sa pyaar kiya tha, phir ye saari parikshayein lene waala samaj kon hota hai, mere bacho ka bachpan cheen liya gaya, mere pati ko apahij banane mai koi kasar nahi choddi, meri ijjat ko aise uchala gaya kisne ye hak diya tha samaj ko??? Meri jaan basi thi mere ghar mai jisse mere pyaar ne apne haatho se sajaya tha, mujhe apne ghar se alag hona pada.. kyuu??? Kasoor kyat ha armaan?? Pyaar karne ki itni badi saja kyu di gayi???

Pyaar karne waalo se itni chid hai samaj ko to pyaar naam ka shabd log hotton pe late hi kyu hai, kyu shikayat karte hai agar pyaar unki jindagi mai nahi hota, ek chotta sa sapna hi to tha mera, bas tumhari baaho mai jindagi bitani thi, apne bacho ko dher saara pyaar dekar bada karna chahti thi aur apne ghar se alag nahi hona chahti thi, par samaj ne har cheez karne par majbur kar diya, kya maa-baap, kya dost,kya bahen, koi nahi tha… thak gayi hun armaan, nahi sahen ho raha ye dard, nahi sahen ho raha ki jiss aarish ko ek kharonch aane par bhi mai sihar jaati thi, wo bacha 1 baar nahi 5 baar maut ke muh mai dhakela gaya aur mai kuch nahi kar paayi, mai achi maa nahi ban paayi, mere aarish ka saara bachpan chin gaya armaan, kaise bhulun inn baato ko?? Kaise khush ho jaun jabki ye sab baatein mujhe bechain karti rehti hai, tumhare theek hone ki khushi mai jaha mai paagal ho jaati hun, wahi aarish ko dekhkar mai dukhi ho jaati hun…

A: (sshing her, then hugging her tightly) riddhima jo hona tha wo ho gaya, ab jo hone waala hai hum use to kharab nahi kar sakte na ye sab sochkar, hum aarish ko ab wo pyaar denge jo use pehle nahi de paaye, ab hum apne dil ki hasratein puri kar lenge…

R: (screamed a bit) tum samajhte kyu nahi ho kuch bhi… tumhe pata hai mujhe aise lagta hai ki jaise koi andar se meri saason ko khinch raha hai, mujhe pal pal yaad aata hai ki kaise pehle 6 months mai aarish ki ek chhotti si rone ki aawaj se hi mera dil dahel jaata tha, kaise mai use apne aanchal mai chuppa leti thi, par uske baad mai uska dhyan nahi rakh paayi, kaise inn 4.5 saalon ko piche karoge armaan?? Bache ke saath bonding banane ke yehi initial years hote hai aur unhi years mai main uss se dur ho gayi, ab kaha se wo pyaar dungi???

Ab to use pyaar ke saath saath galat karne par daantna bhi hoga, uski har harkat par hasna nahi use gussa bhi karna hoga, uska tutlakar bolna, first time khud brush pakadna, khud nahana, ye sab kaha se laungi??? Armaan tum to mere jaadugar ho na, kuch to aisa karo ki ye 4.5 saal hamari jindagi se hamesha ke liye alag ho jaaye, kuch to karo.. mai sab bhulna chahti hun, mujhe iss dard se dur karo, maine tumse waada kiya tha ki dukh padne par mai kamjor nahi padungi, maine apna waada nibhane ki koshish ki hai,

3 saalo se maa, premika, biwi teeno ke dard ko peeya hai, par ab sab theek hai, ab mai kamjor pad sakti hun, tum mujhe sambhal lo na armaan, mere dard ko dur kar do, pata nahi kyu iss baar tumhari baaho mai chupkar bhi dil andar se shaant nahi ho paa raha, pata nahi kyu tumhe khush dekhkar bhi mera dil paagalo sa uchal nahi paa raha, mujhe iss bechaini se dur kar do armaan,

mujhe mere guilt se mukt kar do armaan, mai kaise repent karun mujhe rasta dikha do armaan, mujhe yun marna acha nahi lag raha, mujhe phir se jeena sikha do armaan…. (Saying so she started getting unconscious, armaan was shocked listening to her words, he understands her pain but he didn't get why was she feeling guilty and why she wants to repent, he took her to room)

flashback ends.. (hope u all remember that riddhima remained unconscious for 1.5 days and I didn't mention the reason earlier, hope its clear now)

Present..

A: mujhe uss din ehsaas hua kii riddhima kiss daur se nikal rahi hai, mujhe abhi tak nahi pata ki wo guilty kyu hai, par bas itna pata tha ki wo andar hi andar mar rahi thi, aur usme mujhe jindagi bharni thi, mujhe ehsaas hua ki pichle 5 saal uss se dur karna aasan nahi hoga, par itni koshish ki jaa sakti hai ki ye 5 saal usspar haawi na ho, uska dard sach mai bahut bada tha chirag, maine to socha bhi nahi tha ki uske dil ki haalat aisi hai, unn 1.5 dino mai maine khub socha,

finally decide kiya ki riddhima ko hamare starting ke 5 years ki jhalki dikhayi jaaye, jiss se dheere dheere wo dard ki jagah pyaar ke saagar mai phir se doob jaayegi, par ye kaam mujhe uske kareeb rehkar nahi uss se dur rehkar karna hoga, taaki wo mujhe miss kare aur usse ehsaas ho ki uske dukh se jayda important hamara pyaar aur hamara saath hai jo kissi bhi toofan ko asaani se jhel sakta hai, mukul-vaishali,rishab-sonal, vedic-rajni inn sabko pyaar ke palon ki jarurat bhi thi,

to maine inn sabke through riddhima ko hamare sundar se ateet mai ghumane ki koshish ki, mujhse dur hona riddhima ko bechain kar hi raha tha aur jab bhi wo mukul-vaishali,rajni-vedic,sonal-rishab ko dekhti to usme hamare past ki jhalak dekhkar aur bhi paagal ho jaati, mai interns ko guide karta aur wo log bilkul waisa hi karte, wohi songs, wo ghode par chipak kar baithna, raato mai bike ride karna, car mai romance karna, alag alag gifts, sab riddhima par haawi hone laga, mere liye riddhima ko ignore karna namumkin tha,

kiss tarah se mai raatein nikalta tha interns ke saath ye mai hi jaanta hun, par at the end jo chahiye tha wo mujhe mil gaya, mujhe meri riddhima mil gayi, usme wohi bechaini bhari thi jo 5 saal pehle tak bhari hoti thi mujhe na dekhne par, wohi paagalpan, wohi deewangi, wohi pyaar, wohi bachpana.. kal jo bhi hua wo sab planned tha, mai bas riddhima ke andar wohi ishq ka junoon dekhna chahta tha…

raha iss ghar mai aane ka sawaal ,maine ussi din soch liya tha ki hum Mumbai mai hi rahenge jab riddhima ne confess kiya ki iss ghar mai uski ruh basti hai, meri nafrat uske pyaar ke age kuch bhi nahi hai… aaj riddhima ke chehre par actual khushi jhalak rahi hai, wo dil se khush hai, satisfied hai, last 5 saal bhulna mumkin nahi hai, par itna yakeen hai ki ab wo 5 saal riddhima ko darayenge nahi…

Ch: (placed his hand on armaan's shoulder while clearing his eyes and nodded) sach mai yaar tum log pyaar mai bahut aage nikal gaye ho, tum logo ki himmat ki daat deni padegi…par tum sure ho ki tum log ab yahi settle hoyoge?? I mean phir se family, sanjeevani ko face karna, phir se sab wahi na pahunch jaaye…

A: don't worry, iss baar riddhima ko akela nahi chodunga…

Ch: hum to tere saath hi hai, tu khud samajhdaar hai, jaisa tujhe theek lage…

A: ab to naraj nahi hai na??? (chirag smiled and shaked his head apologetically then hugged armaan and again wished him "happy anniversary", armaan looked at the big polothyne that ritu handled him a while ago…

Stay tuned..

Hopefully ab aap sabke doubts clear ho gaye ho, aap mai se kuch logo ki shikayat thi ki riddhima normal behave nahi kar rahi armaan ke theek hone ke baad, uska reason dard tha jo unhone bewajah jhela tha pichle 5 saalo mai, kuch readers ke shikayat thi ki armaan bahut rude behave kar raha tha riddhima ke saath, usse kissi bhi haalat mai aisa nahi karna chahiye tha par wo karta bhi to kya?? Kehte hai pyaar ki value thoda sa dur hone par pata chalti hai, armaan bhi bas yahi riddhima ko ehsaas karwana chahta tha ki unka pyaar jayda bada hai, jitney marji bade toofan aa jaaye par unka pyaar kabhi nahi dagmagayega, riddhima ne suffer kiya tha, par armaan ne bhi kam suffer nahi kiya…. Koi bhi question ho mind mai to please post kijiyega apne comments ke saath, will reply you…

Part-211

Ri: par armaan ye sab hua kaise??? I mean kal tak to tum move bhi nahi kar sakte the, aaj subah hi riddhima se meri baat hui to phir ab achanak ye sab??? (before armaan could speak)

Va: (entering in room) mai batati hun sab kuch..

Ri: tum??? Aur tumhe kaise pata???

Va: kyunki ye secret armaan ne sirf mere saath share kiya tha(riddhima looked at vaishali with little surprise then at armaan who's smiling, riddhima again looked at vaishali who's looking slightly proud when she said this, don't know why riddhima felt little ping of jealousy with in herself but she controlled herself)

Ri: kya matlab???

Va: armaan ko jab hosh aaya tha tab mai hi Unke(riddhima looked at vaishali with slight shock when she said "Unke", vaishali looked at riddhima and corrected) I mean uske pass thi, riddhima ghar gayi hui thi, to maine hi armaan ka full body check-up kiya tha, armaan ne apni leg move karne ki koshish ki, pehle to bandages tight bandhi hone ke kaaran armaan apni leg move nahi kar Paaya, par phir hamari khushi ka theekana nai raha jab armaan ne apne paer move kiye..

********** Little Flashback************

Armaan remembered the moment when he's trying to move his lower part, first it's not responding and he's quiet tense, then he closed his eyes and riddhima's face started moving in front of him, he started sweating when heard riddhima saying "armaan meri 3 saal ki mehnat phir bekaar ho gayi, mai tumhe apne paero par khada nahi kar payi, mere sapne bikhar gaye armaan" and she kept on crying,

seeing her tears armaan tried to move to her so that he can comfort her and tell her that everything gonna be alright soon but soon his chain of thoughts broke when he heard vaishali screaming with happiness, he looked at her with confusion and she kept on jumping and dancing, and finally after a moment she declared that his lower part is moving, armaan didn't believe her but then he himself felt the change with in him, he felt the blood flow which he never felt in last 5 years,

he's feeling the pain, he moved his one leg and this time he succeeded and he squealed with joy and shouted "riddhima tumne kar dikhaya, tumhara sapna pura ho gaya meri jaan, tumhara sapna pura ho gaya, tum jeet gayi, tumne mere paralysis ko hara diya, tumne nayi pehchaan aur naye maayne de diye jeene ke iss pagle ko' tum jeet gayi and from his eyes tears of joy fell down",

hearing armaan's words vaishali reminded that she need to inform riddhima, she called riddhima but armaan asked vaishali to not to break this news on phone, he'll surprise her once she'll come, and then he tried to get up but didn't succeed..

Va: (almost screaming when saw armaan falling on bed) armaann' ye kya kar rahe ho??? Abhi tum 50 days tak uth nahi sakte armaan, tumhe rest ki jarurat hai, tumhari body bahut weak ho gayi hai itni badi surgery ke baad aur mujhe tumhe ye batane ki jarurat nahi hai ki tumhe 50 days tak bed se hilna bhi nahi hai'

A: kyaa??? (with shock) par phir apni riddhima ko surprise kaise karunga?? (like a little kid)

Va: riddhima ke liye iss se bada surprise aur kya hoga armaan ki tum theek ho gaye ho, paaglo ki tarah intejar kar rahi hai wo iss cheez ko dekhne ke liye..

A: wo to vishu, riddhima paaglo ki tarah intejar kar rahi hai mujhe apne paeron par khada dekhna ke liye aur abhi 50 days tak mai khada nahi ho sakta..

Va: to kya hua armaan, uske baad to tum jitna marji chal sakte ho, daud sakte ho'

A: nahi vishu.. (thinking a bit) nahii.. mai riddhima ko apne theek hone ki khabar aise nahi dena chahta..

Va: kya matlab??

A: mai riddhima ko ye khushi aadhi adhuri nahi dena chahta, mai chahta hun ki wo uss khushi ko puri tarah se mehsus kar sake jise pane ke liye wo pichle 5 saalon se taras rahi hai, mai bed par baithkar use ye khabar dekar ki "mai chal sakta hun" uske intejar ko aur dugna nahi karna chahta vishu, agar use ye khabar aaj mili to na uski wo khushi jo seedha uske dil mai jaakar hamesha ke liye ghar kar jaayegi wo najar aayegi, na uska dard jo pichle 5 saalon mai uske dil mai jabardasti apna hak samajhkar baitha hai wo nikal paayega, na uska wo intejar khatam ho paayega jo wo kabse dekh rahi hai "mujhe apne paero par khade hone ka", aaj agar riddhima ko pata challa to wo agle 50 dino tak bechain rahegi, pal pal tarsegi mere lower part ko movement karte dekhne ko, uska ye 50 dino ka intejar unn 5 saalon ke intejar ke barabar ho jaayega, jo mai bilkul nahi chahta'

Va: to tum chahte kya ho??

A: ye news hume riddhima se chupani hogi..

Va: (with shock) kyaaa?? Tumhara dimaag to nahi kharab ho gaya, riddhima deserve karti hai iss sachai ko jaan na, kitna intejar kiya hai usne aur itni badi baa tab tum uss se chupana chahte ho'

A: believe me vishu mere liye bhi ye aasaan nahi hai, par mai ye bhi jaanta hun ki meri riddhima iss sachai ko jaan ne se jayda iss sachai ko apni aankho se dekhna deserve karti hai, meri riddhima uss dil ke dard se free hona deserve karti hai jo jabardasti use diya gaya, meri riddhima unn sab khushiyon ko deserve karti hai jo jaan bujh kar uss se cheeni gayi, mai bas riddhima ke saamne puri tarah se uska 5 saal pehle wala armaan banker jaana chahta hun, wo armaan jiska besabri se wo valentines day par intejar kar rahi thi, wo armaan jiski baahon mai wo pal mai chip jaati thi jaise hi use choti sib hi takleef hoti thi, wo armaan jiss se wo paaglo ki tarah, deewano ki tarah pyar karti thi'

Va: kyu ab wo pyaar nahi karti???

A: karti hai, pehle se bhi jayda pyaar karti hai, par uski deewangi ki jagah samajhdaari ne le li hai, aur mujhe uska ye waala roop acha nahi lagta, wo waise hi pyari lagti thi jab ek chote se cockroach se ghabra jaati thi, light jaane par pal mai mujhse chipak jaati thi, girna uska favorite kaam tha kyunki uska dil jaanta tha ki kahi na kahi mai use sambhal hi lunga aur ab wo inn sab cheezo se bahut dur hai kyunki wo jaanti thi ki ab mai use pehle ki tarah sambhal nahi paunga, ye waqt bahut ajeeb khel khelta hai, mai aisa nahi kahunga ki riddhima ne koi compromise kiya hai, par waqt ne uski pyaar dikhane aur jatane ki definition ko badal diya,

uske pyar ke junoon ko maturity mai badal diya aur mujhe apni puraani riddhima hi achi lagti hai, wo meri pyaari si massom si princess, iss duniya ke dhoke se dur aur sach ke behad kareeb, meri riddhima.. meri basket aur uss riddhima ko lane ke liye pehle uska dard dur karna jaruri hai, abhi use agar ye news mili to uska dard nahi niklega dil se, par jiss din mai apne paero par uske saamne baahein faila kar khada hoyunga to mujhe pata hai ki uska dard apne aap uss se dur challa jaayega, uss din wo khul kar apne dukh ke saath lad sakegi aur uske baad hi ek permanent smile, ek khushi uske hotton par fix hogi'

Va: aur tum pichle 5 saalon ko bhula paoge??? (armaan looked her with surprise) I mean tum chahte ho riddhima unn 5 saalo ko bhul jaaye par kya ye itna aasaan hoga?? Tum bhul sakte ho??

A: haan vishu mai bhul sakta hun kyunki mujhe bas riddhima ki chehre ki muskaan yaad aa rahi hai, riddhima ki dil se nikli muskurahat ko dekhkar wo 5 saal chotte lagenge'. (he smiled a bit and caressed his legs) vishu riddhima ko iss baat ka pata nahi chalna chahiye bilkul bhi, waada karo mujhse' (vaishali after thinking a lot, nodded a bit)

*********

Va: (coming in present) riddhima se kissi tarah baat chupa li, aur jab bhi wo ghar jaati mai, dr. rajat armaan ko lower part ki exercises karwate, dheere dheere progress hota raha, armaan ka 50 days mai khade ho pane mushkil tha, kyunki dr. rajat ne check-up ke baad bataya tha ki armaan ka lower part internally bahut week hai, par armaan ne jaise kasam khai thi ki wo 50 dino mai khada hokar dikhayega, wo jab bhi use time milta exercise karta rehta, aur uska hard-work rang bhi laya, finally wo aaj aap logo ke saamne khada hai, riddhima ke sapne ko hakikat mai badalkar' (she smiled and looked at armaan lovingly, armaan passed a little smile and looked at riddhima but her back was facing him, ritu with tears hugged him tightly)

Ri: mujhe to ab bhi yakeen nahi ho raha apni aankho par'

A: (patted her cheeks with love) to yakeen kar le, iss kayue par na sahi par apni nanad ki kabiliyat par to tu aaram se yakeen kar sakti hai, haina?? (ritu smiled and once again hugged him, chirag too hugged him, they exchanged their feelings, finally armaan looked for riddhima but to his surprise she's not there, angel too was missing, he checked for her everywhere and at the end found her in kitchen, angel's standing on shelf, trying to gain riddhima's attention but riddhima's lost completely, milk's boiling, armaan quickly goes and puts off the gas, then placed angel down on ground and asked her to go out and play with her brother, he again looked at riddhima who's still looking out, her face was showing a line of dry tears, armaan moved his arms around her waist slowly slowly and adjusted his face in between her neck and shoulder, riddhima came in present..)

A: kya hua?? Yaha kyu aa gayi???

R: armaan tumne mujhse itni badi baat kyu chupayi??? Kyu nahi bataya ki tum theek ho gaye ho??

A: riddhima wo mai..

R: mai jaanti hun ki tumne jo bhi kiya hoga mere bare mai hi sochkar kia, par pata nahi kyu acha nahi lag raha..

A: kya acha nahi lag raha???

R: pata nahi' shayad tumhe weird lage, par pata nahi kyu acha nahi laga ye sunkar ki tumhari legs ki movement dekhne waali mai pehli ladki nahi thi, ye khushi tumhare saath share karne waali mai pehli ladki nahi thi, vaishali thi, inn 50 days tak tumhare dard aur excitement ka hissa vaishali thi mai nahi, tumhara dhyan rakhne waali mai nahi thi, vaishali' (armaan turned her to himself , her eyes were again showering)

A: (cleared her tears) riddhima'.

R: (cut him) mujhe pata hai ki tumhe lag raha hoga ki mai kuch jayda hi soch rahi hun, par mai kya karun armaan, pata nahi kyu jab bhi baat tumhari hoti hai to mai kahi na kahi expect karti hun ki mujhe hi saare hak milne chahiye, tumhari har choti se badi baat jaan ne ka sirf mera hak hona chahiye, phir chahe wo tumhara dhyan rakhna ho ya phir tumhari khushi ko mehsus karna, mai hamesha tumhari jindagi mai 1^st rehna chahti hun, par aaj vaishali ki aankho mai wo proud dekhkar pata nahi kyu acha nahi lag raha, mujhe pata hai armaan ki tum har pal sirf mujhe khush dekhna chahte ho, tumne theek socha ki agar tumne ye step na uthaya hota to shayad mai iss khushi ko kabhi bhi theek se mehsus na kar paati kyunki jiss din pata chalta uss din uss pal ke liye bahut khush hokar mere intejar ka 1-1 pal sadiyo sa lamba ho jaata ki kab mai tumhe chalte hue dekh paungi, par ab ye shikwa hai dil mai ki mai tumhari jarurat ke samay tumhari madad nahi kar payi'

A: (cutting her) ye baat tum soch bhi kaise sakti ho riddhima?? Ek tum hi to thi jo mere saath hamesha se thi, bas tumhi to thi har pal saath mere..

R: (cutting him) armaan mai tumhari baat samajhti hun, par jaise tumhe meri khushi ke bare mai hamesha sochna apna hak lagta hai waise hi tumhari sewa karna, har choti se badi jarurat ka khayal rakhna, tumhare har sukh aur dukh ko mehsus karna mujhe apna hak lagta hai, shayad issliye mujhe bura lag raha hai ki tum har pal meri khushi ke bare mai sochkar apna hak jatane se kabhi piche nahi hat te par mai apna farz nahi nibha paayi wo bhi sirf tumhari wajah se' (she looked him with fake anger) na tum mere bare mai itna sochte, na aaj mujhme ye heen bhawna aati ki mai tumhare saath nahi thi jab tumhe mushkil hoti hogi exercise karne mai, walker chalkar pakadne mai, kitna dard hota hoga tumhe aur mai maje se ghar par kaam kar rahi hoti thi, tum kaise ankhein kaskar band karte honge dard se, mujhe bullate honge aur mai'(she visualized armaan's condition during his recovery days, and 2 drops fell from her eyes)

A: (holding her tears and kissing on her forehead) sorry tumhara hak cheen ne ke liye, hmm, bahut dard hota tha, bahut yaad karta tha tumhe unn 3 ghanto mai jab mai chalne ki practice karta tha, sochta tha ki tum yaha hoti to mujhe mera haath pakad kar chalwati, dard hota to kaskar thaam leti phir mann karta tha tumhe bula kar gale se laga lun aur apne dard ko kam kar lun par jaise hi ye khayal aata apne aap ek magic ho jaata kyunki tumhari khushi jo mujhe apne paero par khada dekhkar tumhe milne waali thi wo yaad aa jaati aur mera dard chumantar ho jaata tha aur mujhe encourage karta tha ki mai aur exercise karu, tum na hokar bhi mere saath thi meri taakat bankar, meri himmat bankar, tumhari khushi ne kabhi dard ke kareeb jaane hi nahi diya mujhe'.

R: (felt bad) mujhe aisi khushi nahi chahiye thi jo tumhare dard mai mujhe tumhare kareeb na rehne de, tumne mujhe kyu kuch nahi bataya armaan, kyu chupaya itna sab, (she hits him lightly on his chest with tears) kaash'(but before she could say anything, vaishali who heard last lines of riddhima entered in kitchen)

Va: (with disappointment) riddhima.. (both AR got separated and looked at vaishali surprisingly) ye sab kya hai riddhima, armaan ye tum ab bhi complaint kar rahi ho, sirf tumhe khush dekhne ke liye usne ye sab tumse chupaya aur tum uss se naaraj ho rahi ho, pata nahi aaj subah se tumhe ho kya gaya hai, itna weirdly kyu behave kar rahi ho, itni chotti choti baton par itna over react kar rahi ho ki tumhe armaan ka pyaar, uske sacrifice bhi dikhne band ho gaye hai, wo kitna dhyan rakhta hai tumhara,

uske theek hone par jo khushi tumhare chehre par aayegi uska sabot rakhne ke liye usne hall mai cameras lagwaye the taaki wo cameras tumhari uss precious khushi ko record kar sake aur kya tum jaanti ho ki jiss armaan se tum sirf issliye lad rahi ho ki usne tumhe pehle ye sab kyu nahi bataya, tumne use pehle kyu nahi dekha etc etc.. to tumhari information ke liye armaan ne khud ko abhi tak ek baar bhi mirror mai nahi dekha operation ke baad, ek baar bhi nahi dekha ki 5 saalo baad wo apne paeron par khada hokar kaisa dikhta hoga,

kitna mushkil hoga uske liye ye sab karna par armaan ka kehna tha ki "mai kissi aur ko nahi rok sakta hospital mai (doctors and nurses) apne aap ko dekhne se par apne aap ko rok sakta hun, jab tak riddhima mujhe nahi dekh leti ki mai kaisa lagta hun apne paero par khade hokar tab tak mai nahi sheeshe ke samne jaunga, kyunki har haal mai riddhima ka mujhse pehle hak hai iss pal ko jeene ka, aur mai to uski aankho se hi khud ko dekhunga, uski aankhein mera best mirror hai"..

batao riddhima itna pyaar karne wala koi tumhe kaha milega, jab se armaan ko hosh aaya hai tab se wo bas tumhari khushi ko dugna aur memorable banane ke liye soch raha hai aur tum usse baar baar hurt kar rahi ho, kabhi apne sawalo se to kabhi apne haatho se' (AR kept on looking at vaishali with shock')

A: (with disappointment) vaishali jab tumhe kuch pata nahi hota to kyu itna react kar deti ho, aaj subah bhi maine tumhe kaha tha ki mere aur riddhima ke beech' (before he could say anything, riddhima goes out as ritu's calling her, moreover she wanted to run from there' armaan wanted to stop her but she's already gone, armaan felt miserable and looked at vaishali with frustration, then he goes out as he didn't want to shout on vaishali, he tried to talk to riddhima but she remained busy, sometimes with kids, sometimes with ritu and sometimes with house hold chores,

everyone settled down in garden , armaan moved towards riddhima but she made aarish settled on chair, vaishali offered her seat to armaan but he with fake smile shaked his head, he looked at aarish who opened his arms and declared that he'll sit on his lap, armaan smiled and picked him in his arms and settled next to riddhima, aarish kept on chattering non-stop, telling his school experiences and angel's saying whatever she understands from aarish's words, else she changes her words according to her convenience, everyone kept on laughing, armaan looked at riddhima who's trying to steal her eyes from him, armaan knew she's feeling uncomfortable that's why she's trying to ignore him, he knew that she's going through mixture of emotions and finding difficult to tackle with all of them, he wants to comfort her but "how" he's not getting that, where as riddhima kept on reminding vaishali's words, she obviously didn't like the interference of vaishali in between them, the way vaishali tried to show that she knew much more about armaan's love more than riddhima, she didn't like, she's going through mixture of feelings, one side she want to worship armaan's love for her, she wants to dance with happiness but other side she's insecured, jealoused, angry with vaishali, she came in present when ritu declared that they'll have party after 2 days and everyone started discussing about that, riddhima in between got up to go in kitchen, before armaan could follow her, ritu followed her, armaan again settled down, ritu helped riddhima in kitchen..

Ri: sab kuch sapne jaisa sa lag raha hai na, armaan ka theek hona, sab kuch normal hona' mujhe to ab tak yakeen nahi ho raha' (from riddhima's hand bowl dropped, ritu looked her) kya hua??

R: kuch nahi' (she looked at armaan from window and thought " yahi to mai bhi decide nahi kar paa rahi hun ki ye sapna hai ya hakikat, kahi kal subah koi mujhe uthakar ye to nahi kahega na ki utho hospital jaana hai, armaan ka check-up karwana hai'.. ", she didn't accepted the truth fully but still wished in heart that all this might not end as a dream, finally after dinner and doing lots of plannings for the coming month everyone retired to their room, when armaan entered in room riddhima's putting aarish and angel to sleep, aarish's saying that he'll sleep with his daeda, finally riddhima half heartedly put both the kids in the middle of bed..

A: riddhima'

R: (without looking him) wo armaan I think tumhe ab so jaana chahiye, aaj kaafi exertion ho gayi' (she stopped when felt a tight grip around her wrist)

A: riddhima look at me.. (She didn't turn) riddhima.. (he pulled her tightly and she bumped into him) meri aankhein normal insaano waali hai, bhutiya aankhein nahi hai jo tum inme dekhne se itna ghabra rahi ho.. (riddhima with confusion looked him but seeing smile on his face she understood that he's cracking a joke, she again tried to detangle herself, but) basss riddhima, bahut ho gaya tumhaar ye ignoring game..

R: aaram se armaan, bache so rahein hai..

A: to aaraam se to tumhe samajh aa nahi raha, kab se aaram se hi baat karne ki koshish kar rah hun par tum aise ignore kar rahi ho jaise mai hu hi nahi..

R: aisa kuch nahi hai armaan, mai bas busy..

A: ohh for heaven sake, don't try to fool me, busy thi ya bhagne ki koshish kar rahi thi, kyu ni share kar rahi jo tumhare mann mai chal raha hai??

R: share kiya to phir se sun na padega ki mai over react kar rahi hun'

A: riddhima tum kyu kissi third person ki baton ko hamare beech..

R: (cutting him) third person ki baaton ko hamare beech issliye laaya jaa raha hai kyunki uski baatein humse related thi, hamare rishte se judi thi, kyu mujhe problem nahi honi chahiye armaan?? Koi teesra insaan mujhe aakar ye bataye ki mujhe apne armaan se kaise baat karni chahiye kaise nahi, mujhe armaan ke theek hone par kaise khushi jaahir karni chahiye, mere maarne se mere armaan ko kaha dard ho raha hai kaha nahi,

meri baatein mere armaan ko kab chubh rahi hai kab nahi aur sabse badi baat koi mujhe ye batane ki koshish kare ki Armaan apni riddhima se kitna pyaar karta hai, uske liye kitne sacrifice karta hai, uske bare mai kitna sochta hai, uski khushi ki kitni parwah karta hai, wo bhi wo insaan jo sirf 6 mahine se jaanti hai hume wo aakar ye sab bole to kaise mai react kiye bina reh sakti hun,

koi mujhe aakar ye jataye ki wo mujhse jayda jaanti hai ki " meri jindagi-mera armaan mujhse kitna pyaar karta hai, mere liye kya kar sakta hai kya nahi" kaise ye baat sahi jaa sakti hai armaan?? Tumhi batao??? Vaishali kyu itna interfere kar rahi hai hamare beech mujhe ye baat chubh rahi hai pata nahi kyu, kyu wo tumhari itni side le rahi hai, kyu usse tumhari itni fikar ho rahi hai mujhe ye sab acha nahi lag raha armaan, mujhe uski interference achi nahi lag rahi,

uska tumhare pyaar ko lekar mujhe samjhana acha nahi lag raha, mujhe nahi acha lag raha uska baar baar mujhe batana ki tumhare saath mujhe kaise behave karna chahiye, kya tumhare liye acha hai aur kya nahi, mujhe kuch acha nahi lag raha, kuch bhi nahi' pata nahi kyu darr lag raha hai, aur agni pariksha nahi de sakti armaan mai,

mujhe aaj ki khushi ko theek se mehsus karne ka waqt bhi nahi mila abhi tak aur ye sab, mai tumhe nahi baant sakti kissi ke saath bhi, kissi ko bhi ye hak nahi de sakti ki koi tumhare pyar ko mere saamne justify kare aur ye jataye ki mujhe tumhare bare mai kuch nahi pata'. (her insecurity, frustration, anger, little jealousy factor started coming out from her eyes, armaan took her in his arms, riddhima hugged him tightly and closed her eyes) kya mai over-react kar rahi hun armaan???? (after few minutes)

A: riddhima vaishali ki baatein mujhe bhi ajeeb lagi thi, mann kiya tha ki usspar chillaun par phir socha kab tak aur kitni explanations denge hum sabko, unhone phir bhi wohhi dekhna uar samajhna hai jo unka mann chahega, wo sach kabhi nahi dekh paayenge, wo ye kabhi nahi jaan paayenge ki armaan riddhima ki wajah se jee raha hai ya riddhima armaan ki wajah se,

koi hamare rishte mai tabhi interfere kar paayega jab hum usse ye hak denge aur jab hak hi nahi de rakha to koi chahe kuch bhi bolta rahe hume koi farak nahi padna chahiye, jo cheez important hai wo hai hum aur hamara pyaar, hamara vishwas, tumne socha bhi kaise ki tumhe mujhe kissi ke saath share karna padega, mai pehle hi "reserved only for his princess Riddhima" ke tag ke saath is duniya mai aaya tha aur wo tag to bhagwanji bhi hatane se darte hai to baaki sab to dur ki baat hai,

tumse jayda koi aur mere bare mai kaise jaan sakta hai, sirf ek plan kya banaya vaishali ke saath tumhe khush karne ka tum to apne aap par hi shak karne lagi, itna tucha vishwas' (riddhima looked him when he mentioned "tucha" he's giving fake disappointment expressions, riddhima slightly punched him and again hugged him with a smile, armaan slowly slowly moved towards dressing area and turned ridhima towards mirror and holds her from her waist, placed his chin on her shoulder and while looking at her from mirror)

tumhe kab se khud par doubt hone laga riddhima, tumhara hak to chahkar bhi koi nahi le sakta (he took her hand and first touched her maang, then placed her hand on her mangalsutra) iss se jayda vishwas dilwaane ki jarurat hai kya??? (riddhima kept on looking at him, totally spellbounded) vaishali ne jo aaj kiya ya jo wo karegi usse uska bachpana samajh kar ignore karna hi theek rahega, wo ek dost hai, aur jaise dosto ke saath plans bante hai aise hi uske saath bhi ek plan kiya tha maine, uski help li thi bass aur uss se jayda kuch nahi,

tum mujhe chalte hue dekhna chahti thi sabse pehle to hamari duniya mai sabse pehle tumne hi mujhe chalte hue dekha hai, tumhare bina mai kuch nahi hun jaan to apne dil se sab dar, sab insecurities ko dur kar do, bas ab aane waale kal ko ache se apni mukurahato se saja do, no more tears, he cleared her eyes, aane waali khushiyo ka haskar swagat karo, dar ke saath nahi'. (he pecked on her cheeks, she smiled and hold his arms that were locked on her tummy, after sometime riddhima tried to move but armaan stopped her) aise hi khadi raho, aaj itne arse baad tumhe aise apni baaho mai lekar mirror ke aage khada hona acha lag raha hai, acha lag raha hai iss completeness ko mehsus karke jo tumhare saath khade hone par mil rahi hai, tumhare bina to sach mai mein pura ho hi nahi sakta'

R: aaj 5 saalon baad mujhe bhi seeshe ne pehli baar meri puri image dikhayi hai' (she smiled whole heartedly, both reminded their lovely moments spent together in front of mirror, armaan slightly kissed on her neck, riddhima shivered down deeply and looked at armaan, both had a lovely eyelock, riddhima rushed to bed when heard angel's crying and armaan dreamingly passed his hand from his hair, and smiled, then moved to bed)

riddhima wished him goodnight and both settled on bed with kids in between, armaan caressed his kids and after kissing them closed his eyes, riddhima kept on looking at him and then closed her eyes but felt restless, she again started looking him and after one hour when she's sure that she cant sleep without placing her head on his chest, she shifted aarish in corner and herself laid down besides him, and placed her head on his chest, armaan moved his arm around her..

R: (with closed eyes) soye nahi abhi tak???

A: jab tumhe mere bina neend nahi aa rahi to mujhe kaise aa sakti hai??? (she smiled and holds him tightly)

R: I love you armaan'. (with utmost happiness)

A: touchwood'

R: kya???? (with surprise)

A: tumhari unn 3 words mai wo khushi ki khanak sunai de gayi jo mai kab se sun na chahta tha, tumhari khushi iss dil ne mehsus kar li' (riddhima smiled whole heardtedly and again thought about vaishali's words when she's saying that riddhima's not sounding that much happy and excited than the way she should have sound)

R: tum theek keh rahe the armaan, mujhe vaishali ki baato par dhyan nahi dena chahiye, vaishali jo khushi mere expressions, chehre aur hakatton mai dhund rahi thi wo khushi tumne sirf 3 shabdo mai hi dhund li, vaishali nahi measure kar sakti tumhare pyaar ko'

A: (tightening his grip around her and looking in her eyes) hamare pyaar ko.. (riddhima nodded and felt very light from inside) dekha maine to pehle hi kaha tha mujhse baat kar lo, halki ho jaogi, par nahi bhar rakhne ka shownk hai na tumhe' mujhse aise bhaag rahi thi sham se dur jaise mai koi gunda mawali hun aur tumhare saath batmeeji karunga' (riddhima giggled) waise batmeeji karne ka idea bura nahi hai, kya khyaal hai??? (riddhima looked him with shock, and slapped on his face, both giggled, armaan clutched her tightly) ummm nahi' aaj nahi, batmeeji jab karni hi hai to thode alag dhang aur hatke style mai karenge'(he pinched her nose and looked her naughtily, riddhima blushed) I luv u too'.(both smiled and after giving goodnight kiss to each other, finally both slept peacefully in each others arms after a much long time'. Touchwood :D)

To be continued...

Precap:

A: (looking at riddhima who's slightly worried and staring somewhere else) kya hua riddhima??? Kaha khoyi hui ho??

R: armaan'. (still lost)

A: bolo jaan' (riddhima looked him)

R: kya tum jaante ho ki Vaishali tumse pyaar karne lagi hai??? (armaan registered her words)

A: kyaaa??? (almost screaming) tumhara dimaag to kharab nahi ho gaya hai riddhima???

Part-218 (2011 ki last update, thodi khatti, thodi meethi...😊)

Riddhima tried to open the door but it's locked from outside, she's shocked and out of scariness tears started flowing from her eyes, she heard some talks..

Bhaayo aaj to badi achi murgi fassi hai changul mai, ye raat bhi chotti reh jaayegi par paet na bhareoga..

Katte(kaha) hai aiso(aisi) murgi??

Chajje(chatt) pe, abbi abbi(abhi abhi) taala maarke (lock karna) aaya hun…

Yo(ye) to patte ka(badiya) kaam kiya bhaayo.. to challiwe chajje pe..

Naa bhaayo, pehle auran ko to bata dehi, achi vasuli ho jaugi, 3 roj(din) tak fikar na hohi..

Yo bhi sahi kehat ho bhaayo, tum auran ko bula lahi, mai murgi par naajar rakheunga, bottlan da intejam bhi kara hi liyo bhaayo, desi peekar murgi par hamla karne mai jayda maja aauga..…

Riddhima's shocked and started sweating badly then pushed door several times but it didn't open, she started crying badly and falls on ground, soon she started hearing loud voices of men, they started loud music, riddhima's hearbeats stopped working, she somehow goes towards bed and started searching her purse with trembling hands thinking may be she could find second battery in her purse, atlast she found it and in hustle she tried to change the battery of cell, she's sweating badly, one drop of sweat entered in cell, she changed the battery and switched on the cell, quickly dialed armaan's number…

A: hello..

R: armaan mujhe bachalo, ye log kuch bhi kar sakte hai…

A: (frightened) kya hua riddhima??? Kaha ho tum??? Kya hua bolo bhi??

R: (crying badly) wo jhopdi ke niche.. ajeeb baatein kar rahe the… mai mar jaungi armaan.. (music started coming near her) tumne suna…. Wo log aa gaye… (armaan heard some weird song like "chadti jawani teri chaal mastani", armaan was shocked, before he could react, riddhima's cell disconnected, riddhima tried to switch on her cell but it didn't respond, riddhima saw images of lots of people on wall, she's scared like hell)

R: (crying) armaan mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai, please mere pass aa jao.. (she heard some footsteps voice, she rolled herself into a small ball and mumbled with determination) mai mar jaungi armaan agar kissi aur ki parchai ne bhi mujhe chunne ki koshish ki… (her heart beats started raising as footsteps started coming near her, she's feeling like she'll die in a minute but her heart raised a question "kya ek baar armaan ka chehra dekhna bhi tujhe naseeb nahi hoga, kya yahi tha tumhare rishte ki manjil ki tum pyaar se nahi ladkar alag hoge… kyu kiya riddhima tune aisa, kyu armaan se ladkar aayi, kyu bhul jaati hai tu ki armaan ke bina teri jindagi sirf kaanto se bhari hogi, armaan ne sahi to kaha tha ki tu uske bina kuch nahi kar sakti, kya jhoot tha?? Tu uske bina kaha kuch thi kabhi bhi?? Kyu kiya tune aisa phir???", riddhima mumbled "par ab ye sab sochne se kya fayda…"

She looked up when felt sound of music's approaching her, she saw one shadow on door and closed her eyes tightly, she heard the door getting opened up, she started getting unconscious and mumbled "mere kareeb aane ki koshish na karna koi bhi, aap logo ko to kuch milega nahi kyunki mai bachungi nahi, par mere saath saath mera armaan aur mere bache bhi ghum ho jaayenge…" she heard the steps coming towards her, she started loosing her senses….she felt he's taking rounds near bed while music's running…

Tu hi hakikat, khwab tu,Dariya tu hi,Pyaas tu

Tu hi dil ki bekarari, Tu sukun Tu sukun..

(riddhima didn't get affected at all, but her heart beats were somehow controlled may be it's the affect of soft song or may be that man didn't do anything with her…)

Jau mein ab jab Jis jagah,Pau mein tujhko ,Us jagah

Saath ho ke na hoon ,Tu hai roobaru Roobaru

Tu Humsafar,Tu Humkadam, Tu Hamnava Mera

(don't know why riddhima got relaxed a bit b'coz armaan's smiling face crossed her mind, words were spreading its magic, her eyes were seeing a dream that she's in her armaan's arms and while caressing her, he's telling her these words, suddenly she opened her eyes and saw the man in pagdi and screamed "nahiii" and again closed her eyes tightly, man stopped the

song)

Aa tujhe inn baahon mein bharke, Aur bhi kar loon main kareeb

Tu juda ho to lage hai, Aata jata har pal ajeeb

( he himself started singing these words, while moving close to her and settled on bed next to her, then touched her arms, she trembled badly out of shock and pushed him…)

Is jahan hai aur na hoga,Mujhsa koi bhi kushnaseeb

Tune mujhko dil diya hai, Mein hoon tere sabse kareeb

(man kept on singing while moving more close to her, while riddhima mumbled "kareeb na aana mere, mera armaan tumhe nahi chodega, mujhe kuch ho gaya to wo tumhe nahi chodega…", man placed his hand on her shoulder this time with force, riddhima tried to shrug him)

Mein hi to tere dil main hoon,Mein hi to saason mein basu

Tere dil ki dhadkano mein ,Mein hi hoon Mein hi hoon

(but his hold was very strong, riddhima digged her nails in her skin, man holds her hands and slightly touched her waist with his lips, riddhima tried to push him, but he holds her tightly from back and slowly slowly moved his hand from her chest to near her heart, riddhima's shocked and tried to jerk him, he sshhhedd her)

Man: chori, agar tujhe kuch hona hota to kab ka ho chukka hota, kuch nahi hua to iska matlab samajhti hai na tu??? Na tujhe chunne se mai jala, na mere chunne se tu mari, iska matlab J hai ki tere shareer ko mere chunne se koi dikkat nahi hai, faaltu ki tu hi chillam-chaari kar rai hai… (riddhima's yet again shocked and tried to detangle herself from him) magaj-maari na kar apun ke saath, warna jabardasti apun ko bhi karni aati hai….. (he slightly touches her cheeks with his lips) waise bahut hi meethi hai tu..

R: (cried) please chodd do mujhe…

Man: kamaal hai, tu to bahut hi budhu nikli, dimaag ki baatein sun ne mai itna nahi kho jaate ki dil ki baatein na samajh pao.. (riddhima looked confuse as heard the change in speaking) aksar aankhein bhi dhoka de jaati hai par dil sab kuch jaanta hai, sab pehchanta hai tabhi to wo dhadakta hai.. (he took her hand and placed near her heart, she felt her heart beats which was very loud) dhadakne ko to dil tab bhi dhadakta hai jab hum maut ke kareeb hotein hai, par pyaar mai paagal dhadkan hamesha paagalo ki tarah hi dhadakti hai, jo sirf dilbar ko sunayi deti hai… (riddhima tried to turn but he holds her more tightly and in her ears mumbled some words)

Jaaneman Jaane ada Ho Tum (he slightly bumped into her head)

meri Dhadkan Ki Sada Ho Tum (riddhima's stunned when heard these lines)

meri Saanson Ki Zaroorat Ho (he left his hot breathes on her neck)

dilruba Jaanewafa Ho Tum (riddhima's still in disbelief, reminded her engagement, reminded armaan, then thought "armaan… ye mera armaan hai, par wo yaha kaise aa sakta hai..")

main Dil Ki Baat Bhala kaise kahun, kaise kahun.. (he holds her hands that was again ready to attack her skin)

Kitani Hasarat Hai Hamein Tumase Dil Lagaane Ki

paas Aane Ki Tumhen Zindagi Mein Laane Ki

main Dil Ki Baat Bhala,Kaise Kahu…

(riddhima finally turned and while looking in his eyes removed the cloth from his mouth in disbelief and was shocked to see armaan, armaan flashed his dimples, riddhima in tears hugged him tightly and cried widely still in a shocked mode)

A: (caressed her) mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum mujhe jaan ne mai itna time logi, tumhe to mere room mai enter karte hi mujhe pehchaan lena chahiye tha, par jabardasti dimaag aur dil ki jung chidwa(war shuru karwa) di, dil ne mujhe pehchaan liya, par dimaag mai ghussa rakha tha ki nahi armaan to ho hi nahi sakta…. Armaan kaise nahi ho sakta???

R: (hugged him more tightly, she didn't listen anything) armaan wo log.. (she pointed towards door)

A: kon log riddhima???

R: wo log mujhe…. Wo log gandi baatein kar rahe the…(still in tears)

A: (he took her out from room, she's scared) ab batao kon???

R: (looked down, still trembling remembering their words, she lightly bends forwards while holding armaan's hand and pointed towards some group of people) wo log..

A: wo log jo murgi khaa rahein hai??? (riddhima's shocked yet again and

looked down and found people eating chicken, desi daru and having fun, she looked at armaan then people then reminded the words, her own thinking..) kuch kaha tha inhone?? Mai abhi inki… (riddhima holds him and shaked her head and moved in room, still shocked at the turn of events) ab kya ho gaya… (riddhima told him the whole story, slightly embarrassed, armaan laughed a bit relaxingly) ohh.. tumne to meri jaan hi nikal di thi phone par, aise bhi koi karta hai kya??

R: tumhari kaise jaan nikal gayi?? Sab kuch jhel mai rahi thi aur tum to maje se ship mai…. (she stopped and looked at armaan who's busy in adjusting her hair strands, armaan looked her, she's staring him in shock) tum to ship mai the na??? to yaha kaise pahunche???

A: tumne itna dara diya tha ki mai uddkar tumhare paas pahunch gaya, mujhe pata tha ki tumhe meri jarurat hai, to mujhe to aana hi tha na…

R: armaan… (he looked here and there, mumbling "yaha machar bahut hai na..", riddhima with shock pulled armaan) armaan, mujhe jiss jagah pahunchne mai dhai(2 and a half) ghante lag gaye, waha tum aadhe ghante mai kaise pahunch gaye?? Bolo armaan… (armaan looked at riddhima who's constantly giving shocked reactions) jo mai soch rahi hun wo sach nahi hai na armaan??? Tum apni riddhima ko itni takleef to nahi de sakte na??

A: takleef?? Tumhe konsi takleef hui??

R: (with widened eyes) armaann..

A: dekho ab ye murga-murgi beech mai aa jaayenge ye mujhe nahi pata tha, warna to tumhe koi takleef nahi hui na???

R: matlab tum mere saath hi the??? (she's again confused) par kaise???aisa kaise ho sakta hai??? (she tried to put all the things at its place but remained unsuccessful)

A: (riddhima made her look at him) bygod bahut hi lallu ho tum, tumhe kya laga tum araam se ship se niklogi aur armaan ko pata bhi nahi challega??? Mai dekh chahe kahi bhi raha hun, sun chahe kahi bhi raha hun par ek cheez constantly tumhari taraf rehta hai, pata hai kya?? (he took her hand and placed on his heart) bahut samjhata hun, koshish karta hun idhar-udhar dhyaan karwaane ki par phir bhi dhoka de deta hai mujhe… aap kab kya kar rahi ho, aap kab kya soch rahi ho, aapki har harkat par, najar rehti hai iss dil ki..

R: itna hi pyaar karte ho armaan mujhse to kyu itna pareshan karte ho mujhe?? Kyu majbur kiya mujhe ship se uttarne ke liye?? Kyu mujhe 1 month tak ignore kiya??? (with sadness)

A: agar aisa na karta to tum yaha kaise aati??? Mujhe meri riddhima kaise waapis milti???

R: (with shock) kyaaa?????? (armaan shaked his head seeing her reaction) matlab yaha lane ka, iss situation mai fassane ka..

A: saara plan mera tha…. (with smile)

R: (shaked her head) mujhe yakeen nahi hota armaan, mai iss baat par yakeen nahi kar sakti, tum mujhe yaha par lane ke liye 1 mahine tak itni badi saja nahi de sakte the kabhi bhi, mujhe kabhi itna nahi tadpa sakte the kyunki tum mujhe jaante ho, tumhe pata tha ki ye 1 mahina mai kaise rahi hun tumhare bina.. phir bhi tum mujhe itni badi saja nahi de sakte… haina armaan… (she holds his shirt) bolo na armaan, please bol do jhutt keh rahe the na, mera dil rakhne ke liye hi keh do jhutt… (with tears)

A: mai jhutt nahi keh raha riddhima.. (with serene smile, riddhima moved back, he tries to hold her but she moved back more..) riddhima…

R: kyu kiya aisa??? (with sadness, before armaan could speak) mujhe surprise dena tha phir se koi?? Ohh mai to bhul hi gayi ki hamari anniversary shuru hone waali hai, phir se aapne kuch acha plan kiya hoga mujhe surprise karne ke liye… (armaan looked down) kyu armaan??? Hamesha kya tumhe hi excitement hoti hai celebrations ki,mai kya paagal hun, ya ye kahi par rule hai ki mai kuch plan nahi kar sakti.. (armaan tried to something but she cuts him) hamesha tumhe kyu lagta hai ki mai hi surprise dunga, bas tumhara surprise pura hona chahiye, chahe iske liye koi mar jaaye, chahe uske liye tumhe usse jitna marji tadpana pade, wo tumhe manjur hai …

A: maine aisa kab kaha???

R: kaha nahi, aisa kiya hai, 1 din ke surprise ke liye tumne mujhe itni badi saja di, (in his voice) bas mujhe surprise dena hai, riddhima to meri hai hi, uss se jaisa marji behave karun, phir kahu surprise aur riddhima ko hairan kar dun, riddhima to paagal hai usse to jaise marji treat karo.. (armaan shaked his head and tried to hold her but she pushed him slightly) tumhare akele ki anninversary thi?? Tumne akele shaadi ki thi?? Dimaag nahi hai ki riddhima ne bhi kuch plan kiya ho sakta hai, sab khatam kar diya armaan tumne,

saara mood spoil kar diya, pehle mujhe provoke kiya ki mai ship se uttrun, kitna rude behave kiya ship par, jaanbhuj kar acting ki tumhe hamari anniversary yaad nahi hai aur mere sab plannings par paani pher diya, pichle 3 ghante kaise nikle hai iska tum andaza bhi nahi laga sakte, mai to mar hi gayi thi armaan, aur baad mai kya pata chalta hai ki ye sab to planed tha, surprise tha, abhi tak mera dil dhadak raha hai joro se.. kaisa surprise tha armaan ye??? Aadha maarkar phir realize karwana ki sab drama tha, Saari excitement khatam kar di, jitna jayda iss din ko ache se celebrate karne ke liye socha utna hi horror ban gaya sab kuch…

A: aisa kyu keh rahi ho, mera surprise baad mai dekh lenge,waapis chalte hai hum ship par, pehle tumhare tareeke se celebrate karte hai, phir mere tareeke se, bas gussa mat ho??

R: waapis jaane se pichla 1 mahina waapis aa jaayega armaan??? Ye kuch ghante jo maine darr darr kar nikale hai wo waapis aa jaayenge kya?? Ye kaisa tareeka hua surprise dene ka armaan?? Pehle itna rulaya phir kaise expect karte ho ki mai khush ho jaungi, kyu kiya tumne aisa armaan?? (armaan tried to holds her face, riddhima pushed him out of the room)

A: kya kar rahi ho ye??? (shocked)

R: ab tum yahi rahoge saari raat, ye tumhari punishment hai, mujhe tadpane ki…

A: nahi riddhima tum aisa nahi kar sakti, hamari anniversary shuru hone waali hai, tum aisa kaise kar sakti ho apne husband ke saath, challo andar aane do…. (riddhima made face and closed the door on his face, armaan's shocked)

R: tum bahut bure ho armaan, I hate you for this…Rehna ab saari raat bahar

A: riddhima bahut thandi ho rahi hai, please aisa mat karo… (riddhima clutched herself and quickly goes to open the door but thought about getting wet in rain, she stopped, after 5 minutes) aaahhh… riddhima mujhe chot lag gayi, kitna saara khoon beh raha hai…

R: achi baat hai.. (she sat on bed and cried a bit when saw red liquid coming in room from door, she's shocked and rushed towards door, opened it and screamed) armaannn…. (he looked at her, riddhima looked at his hand which's full of blood, riddhima goes to him) ye kya hua.. (tensed and before he could say anything, riddhima took him in room and made him sit on bed, then searched here and there, dut didn't find anything, she with her wet dupatta [which she changed] cleared armaan's hand very carefully) bahut dard ho raha hai kya??? Kuch bhi kaam theek se nahi karna aata na tumhe.. (she cleared his hand but didn't find any cut, she looked at armaan..)

A: mujhe kyu dekh rahi ho?? maine kya kiya ab??

R: armaan majak ki bhi had hoti hai, tumhe koi parwah nahi hai kissi ki feelings ki.. (she dropped his hand)

A: khud mujhe bolne ka mauka nahi de rahi thi aur mujhpar saara blame daal diya, maine kab kaha tha ki ye khoon hai, wo meri jacket mai sauce ka bag pada tha, phatt gaya to mai kya karun…puch to leti mujhse ki kuch hua hai bhi ya nahi…. (riddhima widened her eyes but then looked other side)

R: mera hi dimaag kharab tha, sorry…

A: ab to gussa mat ho, please mujhe smile de do… (while looking at time)

R: armaan tum aise kyu react kar rahe ho jaise kuch hua hi nahi, itna asaan hai bhulna??Agar mai kabhi aisa tumhare saath karun, 1 mahina aise ignore karun ki tum kuch ho hi nahi mere liye to shayad tumhe samajh aayega ki maine kis tarah kaatein honge wo din…

A: mai tumhara dard phir bhi samajh nahi paunga, kyunki simply mai aisa mauka aane hi nahi dunga…

R: to tumhara kya matlab hai?? Maine tumhe majbur kiya tha mujhe ignore karne ke liye???

A: obviously… kyunki mai mahaan aatma to hun nahi, ye PATIENCE, SACRIFICE, COMPROMISE ki bhasha to mujhe kabhi samajh hi nahi aayi, majburi mai samajhni pade to koi baat nahi kyunki majburi mai to gadhe ko bhi baap banana padta hai, kissne kaha tha itni patience rakhne ko?? Kyu khush ho rahi thi mujhe khush dekhkar, kyu nahi mujhe pehle din hi kaha ki "tumhari khushiyan mere bina adhuri hai", mai tumhari jagah hota to 1 din to dur ki baat hai riddhima, 2 ghante bhi tum ignore karti, tumhe sabke beech se hi uthake le jaata aur 2-4 thappad laga deta..

R: (cutting him) nahi kar paate armaan, agar tum meri jagah hote aur itne arse baad tum mujhe bahut khush dekhte, to tumhe meri ignorance khushi khushi kabool ho jaati par sharte ki tum mujhe hamesha muskurate hue dekhna chahte…

A: aisa case jarur hota riddhima par tab jab tumne akele dukho ka saamna kiya hota to mai tumhari khushiyo ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta tha par hamara to case hi different hai riddhima, hum dono ko hi nahi pata tha ki dono mai se kiska dard jayda bada tha, hum dono hi uss dukh ke saagar ko paar karke aaye hai, to dono ko hi khush rehne ka equal hak tha, 5 saal mai kya patience dikha dikha kar dil nahi bhara tha jo 1 mahina aur nikal diya, bina complaint kiye hue?? (riddhima looked sad) mana raha tha na pyaar se mai, jaruri tha itna gussa hona??? Saara mood hi kharab kar diya, ab mujhe bhi gussa aa gaya hai, mai kab se chup chap sun raha hun iska matlab ye nahi tha ki mai galat tha, iska matlab ye tha ki mai sab kuch normal karna chahta tha, par tum to sir par hi chadi jaa rahi ho...(riddhima widened her eyes)

R: meri patience se hi itni problem hai na tumhe to mat kiya karo mujhse itna pyaar jo mujhme patience rakhne ki shakti daalta hai, kyu tumne mera b'day celebrate karke apne pyaar ki sabhi puraani haddein tod di??? Kissne kaha tha wo paagalpan karne ke liye?? Jaruri tha itna pyaar ek dum se lutana?? Tumhare uss paagalpan waale pyaar ke kaaran hi mujhme itni patience aayi thi ki, khud aisi harkatein karte ho aur phir mujhpar iljaam daal dete ho…

A: (cutting her) you know what?? I'm not impressed riddhima, mujhe

Tumhara dard issliye kabhi nahi samajh aayega kyunki tum badal gayi ho, tumhara pyaar bhi badal gaya hai, tum mujhse ab pyaar nahi karti riddhima.. (riddhima looked him with tears forming in eyes) iss accident ne tumhe mujhse dur kar diya, meri riddhima.. meri 5 saal pehle waali riddhima hoti to kabhi bhi apne armaan ke surprise ko ehsaan ki tarah kabool nahi karti..

R: armaaannn.. (instantly) kya bol rahe ho?? aaj hi mujhpar saare iljaam laga laga kar maar daalne ka iraada hai kya???

A: iljaam nahi tha, hakikat thi, dil mai kuch hote hue bhi tum agar tum saamne waale ko nahi bata rahe ho ye sochkar ki ussne mere liye bahut kuch kiya hai to wo ehsaan mana jaata hai, pyaar nahi.. agar mujhse pehle jitna pyaar karti hoti to dil mai jo bhi hota wo mujhe bejhijhak kehti hak samajhkar, mera pyaar dekhkar tum me patience nahi mere liye aur cravings uthti jo tumhe mujhse 1 mahina to bahut dur ki baat thi, tumhe mere bina 1 pal bhi na rehne deti, par tumne to aaraam se 1 mahina nikal diya, maine surprise plan jarur kiya tha par tumhe itna tadpane ka koi iraada nahi tha, tumhare khud ki wajah se mujhe surprise ka saara idea badalna pada, tumne 1 mahina nikal diya apne dil ki baat kehne mai, maine to bas 1 din apni taraf se add kiya tha tumhe tadpane mai, 1 mahine ki saja to tumne khud hi taye(set) ki thi, lagta hai tum to bhul hi gayi ho ki tumhara mujhpar hak kitna hai, mujhe samajh nahi aata tumhe pichle 1 mahine mai meri khushiyan kaha se najar aa gai, jabki mai to khush hi nahi tha,

mai to bas intejar kar raha tha apni paagal riddhima ka jo mujhe daante khub saara ki meri himmat kaise hui usse ignore karne ki, phir mujhe gale se laga le ye kehkar ki mai tumhare bina nahi reh sakti aur tum bhi kabhi mere bina rehne ki himmat na karna, hamare beech ye formalities kab se aa gayi thi riddhima??? Tumne to kuch bhi suffer nahi kiya tumse jayda to maine suffer kiya hai, mai har pal meri puraani riddhima dhundta raha par uss riddhima ne to patience naam ka lesson yaad kar liya tha,

tumhe 11 saal se mere saath rehkar bhi meri priorties ke baare mai nahi pata challa na, tumhe abhi bhi doubt hota hai ki mai dosto ki company tumse bhi jayda enjoy karta hun, unn dosto ki company jo pichle 3 saalon mai hardly 3-4 baar mile hai, kuch to mere pyaar par, meri priorities par bharosa dikhaya hota, kuch to khud par yakeen kiya hota… tumse jayda sufferings to meri thi,

mujhe tumhari patience ko khatam karne ke liye khud patience ka lesson learn karna pada, warna tumse dur rehna to saaso se dur rehne ke barabar hai, tumne hi to majbur kiya mujhe itna lamba game khelne ke liye, aur bano sacrifice-compromise ki devi, 5 saal kaafi the inn cheezo ko dikhane ke liye, ab kyu tumhe inn cheezo ki jarurat pad rahi thi mujhe samajh nahi aata… ab bolo kiska pyaar kam hua?? Jawaab hai mere sawaalo ka koi?? (riddhima kept on looking him with widened eyes)

kitni plannings ki thi aaj ke liye, mai tumhe yaha iss tareeke se nahi laana chahta tha, iss se better options the mere paas tumhe yaha par laane ke, saara plan change karna pada mujhe kyunki jo outburst maine tumse 1 mahina pehle expect kiya tha wo aaj mila, ab jab game khelli jaa hi rahi thi to maine plan ko shuffle kar diya, socha thodi daer aur maje le lete hai, ab batao galti kiski thi???

Tum jitna gussa ho rahi thi uss se kahi jayda gussa mujhe hona chahiye tha par dekho mai phir bhi apna gussa side par rakhkar tumhe manane aaya kitne pyaar se, par tum to maan ne ke liye taiyar hi nahi ho, hadd hoti hai kissi cheez ki,jo kuch bhi aaj ship par hua wo tumne hi mujhe karne ko majbur kiya aur aaj tumhari aankho mai aansu dekhkar mujhe dard nahi hua, sukun mila, ye saja tumhare liye kam thi tumne jo mujhe 1 mahina pareshan kiya uske hissab se…

R: (cutting him) mai to pareshan thi hi nahi na armaan, mai to pichle 1 mahine se bahut khush thi, haina??

A: kya pata… tumhe to mere bina rehne ki aadat ho hi gayi hai, to kya pata pareshan thi bhi ya nahi..

R: bas karo armaan… ab bas bhi karo, pehle tumhari saja jhello phir tumhare saare iljaam suno, khud ki galti na maan na, pehle itni kadwi baatein kahi, phir itni raat ko apni biwi ko majbur kiya ki wo anjaan sheher mai akeli uttar jaaye, agar kuch ulta seedha ho jaata to???

A: (shaked his head) aisa nahi ho sakta, mere hote hue tumhe koi bhi chuu nahi sakta, musibat bhi nahi, tumhare according tum akele gayi thi, par mere according to hum dono saath the, kabhi alag hi nahi hue the…

R: tumne sachi kaha mai tumse pyaar nahi karti… (armaan looked her with shock) I hateee you..

A: par meri mahanta dekho, tumhari itni galtiyo ke baad bhi mai tumse bahut pyaar karta hun.. (unknowingly a very lil smile played on riddhima's lips, armaan noticed that and thanked god that her gussa's finally down, but riddhima quickly straightens her face)

R: ehsaan kar re ho mujhpar, pyaar karke???

A: obviously, agar koi tumse bahut pyaar kare aur tum usse waapis pyaar na karo to pyaar karne waala to ehsaan hi kar raha hai na tum jaise nacheez ko pyaar karke.. huuhh.. (riddhima hits him tightly) dekhaa, bas yehi tumhara pyaar reh gaya hai… (riddhima again hits him, armaan pulled her in a hug, riddhima hugged him tightly this time, not with pain but with passion)

R: I still hate you..

A: it sounds more sweet than I love you.. (riddhima smiled with tears, but these tears were full of love and happiness, she hugged him more… more.. more tightly)

R: I love you sooo muchhh armaann….

To be continued…

Precap:

Shashank falls on door seeing armaan and joined his hands with tears in eyes, padma , nani, anjali-atul, rahul-muskaan too had tears, riddhima from armaan's arms twisted back as to see where he's looking and why he's so shocked…. As soon as she turned, she detangled from armaan out of shock, her smile was completely vanished.. everyone stopped dancing..

Part-213

Va: aur maine inn khushiyon mai chaar chaand lagane ka intejaam kar liya hai.. (all looked at her confusingly, she without telling anything covered armaan's eyes, armaan's shocked including riddhima)

A: vaishali ye sab..

Va: (cutting him) ssshhh, chup chap chalte raho…(riddhima makes a face, armaan reluctantly moves and riddhima follows them, they reached in ground and were surprised to see the whole ground decorated with lights, streamers, vaishali removed her hand from armaan's eyes and in his ears mumbled) surpriseee…

A: vaishali???

Va: ye meri taraf se chotta sa ek tohfa hai tumhare liye armaan..

Ri: par vaishali iss weekend par hum party kar hi rahe the to iss sab ki kya jarurat thi??

Va: iss weekend karwa chauth hai, uss din sabka fast hoga, koi bhi enjoy nahi kar paayega to maine aaj hi sab arrange kar diya, aur waise bhi armaan theek hua hai, usse bhi to special feel hona chahiye na, already kitne din postpone ho gayi hai ye celebration to maine socha…

Ri: (cutting her) wo to theek hai vaishali, par tum hume bhi to bata sakti thi, hum sabne bhi to armaan ke liye planning ki hui thi, specially riddhima, usne to sab…

Va: (cutting her) to kya ho gaya ritu, aaj maine surprise de diya, aap sab phir kabhi de dena, wo actually mai armaan ke liye apne aap kuch karna chahti thi to issliye kissi ko nahi bataya… (riddhima looked at vaishali with surprise, who handled knife to armaan and started singing "congratulations and celebrations" and asked armaan to cut the cake , when armaan didn't move, she holds his hand and little forcefully made him cut the cake, then quickly put bit of cake in his mouth and asked) kaisa bana hai??? Riddhima ke cake se jayda tasty hai ya kam?? Tumhe kya kami lagi cake mai?? Maine first time cake banaya hai, tumhara favorite cake, tumhe yahi flavor pasand hai na, pineapple cake with chocolate icing… (armaan kept on looking her with shock..) kya hua armaan?? Aise kyu dekh rahe ho??? Kuch bol kyu nahi rahe??? Cake kaisa laga??? Riddhima ne to tumhe uska favorite cake khillaya tha, par mai tumhare liye tumhara pasandida cake layi hun, kaisa laga??bolo na??? (again she tried to feed armaan)

A: vaishali tumhe ho kya gaya hai??? Ye sab kya keh rahi ho??? Kya kar rahi ho??? (he looked at riddhima who's looking quiet disturbed)

Va: mai to tumhe cake khilla rahi hun bas.. isme hona ya na hona jaisi baat kaha se aa gayi??? Challo muh kholo… (armaan this time gave her irritating look)Acha agar tumhe cake nahi khana to mujhe to khilla sakte ho na… (she opened her mouth, ritu looked at riddhima little weirdly, riddhima tried to smile, ritu makes face, in between someone asked from back "armaanji ab aap cake lekar khade hi rahenge ya inhe cake khillayenge bhi, hum sab bhi line mai hai…", vaishali smiled and opened her mouth more, armaan smiled fakely and looked at riddhima, with eyes asked her to come near him, but she shaked her head and asked him to feed vaishali..) armaan mai wait kar rahi hun… (she again holds his hand and tried to move his hand towards her mouth, in between armaan felt a tug on his jeans and vaishali too felt that there's something on her feet, both looked down and found aarish and angel standing, armaan bends down a bit as aarish's asking him to come down..)

A: (taking a deep and relaxing breath, he picked up aarish in his arms) hey buddy…

Aa: daeda, kele kele (akele akele) cake kha le(re) ho, lishu(rishu) ko bhul gaye, lishu aapki katti… (before he could reply, he heard)

Andel b bhu gai…(armaan looked down and found disappointed angel with hand crossed on her chest, armaan tried to control his smile and picked up angel too)

A: daeda aap dono ko kaise bhul sakte hai?? Mai aapko hi to dhund raha tha, par aap pata nahi kaha chup kar khade the…

Aa: sachi daeda????

A: muchi buddy… (armaan picked his nose slightly, aarish smiled and hugged him, armaan too hugged both of them)

Aa: to phir cake khillao na hume… (armaan smiled and little absent mindedly put cake in aarish and angel mouth, they too tried to feed him, when armaan opened his mouth then aarish deliberately rubbed cake on armaan's cheek, armaan smiled with surprise, angel picked up cake more than the size of her hand and ended up with dropping it on armaan's coat, then she mumbled "sholly" armaan again smiled widely and threw her in air, then looked at aarish who was making faces)

A: kya hua buddy??

Aa: daeda cake kaha se laaye ho???

A: aapko tasty laga cake??? aur khaana hai??? (vaishali looked at aarish with a shy smile, waiting for his answer..)

Aa: nahi daeda, aap ye cake jaa(jaha) se laaye ho, unhe waapis kal(kar) aao, ye cake acha ni(nai) hai, wo jo flidge(fridge) mai cake lakha(rakha) hai wo acha cake hai, tasty tasty… wo cake jo mumma ne banaya… (armaan got little embarrassed, getting no answer from him) daeda aapko bhi ye cake acha ni laga na?? (armaan looked at vaishali and before he could speak anything..)

R: rishu… (aarish looked at riddhima) ye aap kya bol rahe ho babu?? Aise nahi bolte, sab cakes ek jaise hote hai, tasty tasty..

Aa: no mumma, lishu jhoot ni bolta, lishu good boy hai na, ye cake acha ni hai… (he said this innocently, riddhima and armaan were embarrassed, aarish turned to armaan) daeda ussh shop wale bhiya(bhaiya) she kehna ki wo mumma jaisha cake banaya kale aage she, ni to mumma she cake lekal jaaya kale, mumma mana ni kalegi, haina mumma???(he looked at riddhima, she came forward and took aarish in his arms and mumbled to herself "pata nahi aaj aur kitni shocking cheezein dekhne ko milegi…" armaan looked at riddhima.)

R: aarish…. (before she could say anything, aarish put his arms around her neck)

Aa: mumma shorryy, aalish aur angel ne milkal cake kha liya, aap peeti peeti to nahi karoge na?? (riddhima kept on looking at vaishali who was having tears, for a moment riddhima thought to scold aarish..) mumma aap bol kun nahi lahe?? Aap aalish ko maaroge??? (riddhima didn't say anything, aarish got disappointed) okk to aap bash aalish ki peeti kalna, par angel ki peeti mat karna, aalish ne angel ko cake diya tha, angel ne aapi (khud)cake nahi liya tha… (he said this very innocently and with sadness)

mumma aalish jab eyesh close kalega tabhi aap uski peeti kalna, aishe mat karna, aalish ko uui(dard) hogi na, eyes close kalne se aarish ko uui nahi hogi.. (riddhima looked at aarish, who closed his eyes) ab aap peeti kalo, par madam ki talah mote dande se peeti mat karna, uss she boat(bahut) jol she uui hoti hai, mela dosht hai na sameel(sameer) ushki mam ne mote dande se peeti ki thi to na wo bahut loya(roya) tha, aap uss dande se meri peeti mat kalna, ab aap maalo.. (he closed his eyes more tightly, was quiet scared, riddhima slightly patted aarish and looked at armaan while pointing towards vaishali who was trying to hide her tears, riddhima asked armaan to handle vaishali, armaan half heartedly nodded, riddhima took aarish and angel with herself… aarish opened his eyes and with excitement)

Aa: mumma no gusha?? Mumma lishu ko ni malegi???

R: no baby..

Aa: (kissed on her cheeks) I lub ju mumma..

R: par mumma rishu se pyaar nahi karti, rishu bad boy hai..

Aa: (saddened) kun??

R: aapne aisa kyu kaha ki cake acha nahi hai??? Wo cake unn aunty ne banaya tha, aapne aisa kaha to unhe yaha par (placing hand near his heart) uui hui, aur jo kissi ko uui karwate hai wo bad hote hai…

Aa: lishu bad ni hai, lishu mumma ka betu hai, lishu acha.. (he hides himself in her chest, ritu came near them and mumbled)

Ri: haanji, rishu bahut acha aur pyaara bacha hai… (he looked at ritu, then towards riddhima for confirmation) haan bolde, kyu bache ko dara rahi hai??

R: par..

Ri: (cutting her and little strictly) dekh riddhima aarish bacha hai abhi, uss se badon ki tarah samajhdaari se baat ko manipulate karna tu expect nahi kar sakti, bacho ke dil mai jo hoga wohi bolenge na, kyu tu itni chotti umar mai hi usse soch samajh kar bolna sikhaana chahti hai,bade hokar issi dal dal mai hi ghusna hai, enjoy karne de usse apna bachpan, already wo bahut samajhdaar hai… (aarish started crying, both looked at him, angel too started crying, riddhima worriedly)

R: kya hua aapko?? (hugging both of them)

Aa: maami mumma ko mat daanto…

Angel: hupp.. hupp.. hupp.. (she slightly hit ritu) gandi…

Ri: (laughed loudly) mai aapki mumma ko nahi daant rahi.. (both didn't look convinced) ok baba sorry, ab maami aisa nahi karegi, ab khush???

R: paagal ho gayi hai kya ritu?? Aur aarish, angel maamiji aapse badi hai, ye kya tareeka hua..

Ri: (cutting her) phir shuru ho gayi tu.. (she placed kids down and asked them to play with others) ridhima tu paagal hai…

R: ritu bacho ko galat cheezo par daantna chahiye, warna wo seekhenge kaise?? (before she could speak, armaan came and hugged riddhima from back)

A: don't worry basket, waqt ke saath sab seekh jaayenge..

Ri: tu hi samjha isse, paagal bacho ko abhi se bada kar degi… (ritu goes from there, armaan settles down next to riddhima)

R: (with lost mind) ab kaisi hai vaishali???

A: theek hai.. (armaan looked at her and placed his arm around her, riddhima placed her head on his shoulder, they remained silent for few minutes, armaan kept on noticing aarish) bahut bada ho gaya hai aarish.. (riddhima too looked at aarish) aarish ne vaishali ko sorry bola.. (riddhima looked at armaan with surprise)kehta ki maine aapko uui ki na issliye sholly… (armaan looked at riddhima) wo bahut samajhdaar hai riddhima, apni age ke according, trust me… (riddhima nodded) vaishali ke bare mai sochna chodkar, iss bande ki taraf thoda dhyan de do..

R: bolo??

A: bolo???

R: armaan tumhe pata hai na ki mai nahi sochna band kar sakti..

A: hmmm….(he got up and pulled her hand)

R: kya kar rahe ho armaan??

A: meri biwi mujhe chodkar kissi teesri ladki ke bare mai soche, ye mujhse bardash nahi hota, specially tab jab karwa chauth aane waala ho, riddhima parso karwa chauth hai, "karwa chauth" (with widened eyes) tumhe yaad hai na??? tumhe mere liye vrat rakhna hai, sundar si dulhan ban na hai, yaad hai na??? (riddhima smiled thinking about this) aur iss baar tum shaadi waala lehanga nahi daalogi, iss baar tum meri choice ki saree daalogi..

R: kyu shaadi ka lehenga tumhari choice ka nahi tha??? (riddhima suddenly got a glimpse of time before her marriage…) armaan yaad hai humne kaise ki thi shaadi ki shopping???

A: HUMNE????

R: okk baba sorry, tumne ki thi…

Ri: (coming from back) wrong, shopping maine karwayi thi ye kehkar ki mere jeejaji ki wife ki shopping karni hai, jo bilkul tumhare jaisi hai, par meri budhu nanad ko phir bhi kuch samajh nahi aaya tha… (riddhima smiled widely)

A: that's like a my good biwi, ab challo hum shopping karne chalte hai, parso ke liye..

R: par mai shaadi waala lehenga hi daalungi..

A: nahi basket.. (riddhima makes a face) acha dekho agar mera gift na pasand aaye to tum lehenga daal lena, manjoor?? (riddhima thought a bit, then half heartedly nodded) challo phir jaldi se taiyar ho jao..

R: par party??

Party to phir ho jaayegi riddhima.. (trio turned and found vaishali standing there)

Va: tum taiyar ho jao, market jaana jaruri hai, party hum phir kabhi kar lenge.. (riddhima with unbelievable eyes looked at vaishali, armaan too smiled widely as vaishali behaved like vaishali since armaan returned from hospital, riddhima thanked vaishali and rubbished all her thoughts that's running in her mind against vaishali, she quickly got ready, ritu,chirag too got ready, as soon as they moved out, they found vaishali waiting for them) are jaldi challo, warna market band ho jaayegi…

Ri: tum bhi jaaogi hamare saath???

Va: aur kya, tum log obviously mujhe chodkar market to nahi jaa sakte na… (she's going to sit on front seat, but before she could)

A: vaishali wo seat riddhima ki hai, tum back seat par baith jao..

Va: (jokingly) kyu riddhima ka seat par naam likha hai kahi par?? Baithna hi to hai, Seat to seat hoti hai, kahi par bhi baith jao…. (riddhima's smile vanished again)

A: wohi to vaishali, baithna hi to hai, to piche bhi tum baith sakti ho… (in sarcastic way)

R: armaan please abhi tum drive mat karo, thoda sa aur rest de do, ekdum se har cheez shuru karna shayad theek nahi hoga… (armaan nodded)

Ri: (in riddhima's ears) ye vaishali ki harkateein, baatein sirf mujhe hi ajeeb lag rahi hai, ya sach much wo ajeeb ho gayi hai???(riddhima just smiled and settled in car, armaan in car held riddhima's hand, riddhima smiled assuringly, chirag stopped car in front of a mall, all entered in showroom, armaan asked to show some designers sarees for riddhima, first riddhima's taking interest in sarees but then she noticed vaishali from mirror and found her stealing glances of armaan, whenever armaan places some saree on riddhima's shoulder, her smile vanishes, and she quietly kept on testing saree on herself whichever armaan likes and tests on riddhima, in between armaan called her)

R: hmm???

A: kaha khoyi hui ho riddhima, mai kab se puch raha hun ki ye saree kaisi lag rahi hai??

R: tumhe pasand hai na??

A: bahut.. ultimate hai ye saree, tumpar bahut khillegi…

R: to le lo…

A: basket ye kya baat hui??? Kitne time baad hum log saath mai shopping karne aaye hai, wo bhi tumhare liye aur tum interst hi nahi le rahi, kuch to batao ki tumhe kya pasand aa raha hai, kya nahi…

R: armaan jo tumhe pasand hai le lo, mujhse baar baar mat pucho.. (armaan makes a face, riddhima looked at vaishali from mirror who's checking saree which armaan's holding)

A: (placing saree back on table) kuch aur hai alag sa hai ustaad??? (as soon as he placed saree on table, vaishali came and picked that saree)

Va: waoo kitni pyaari saree hai na.. (she placed that saree on her shoulder) waooo… armaan batao na ki kaisi lag rahi hai ye saree mujhpar??

A: (looking her from mirror) saree to no doubt pyaari hai bahut…

Va: to mai le lun ye saree???

A: tumhari marji hai, mai kya kahun???

Va: phir bhi, kaisi lag rahi hai??

A: achi lag rahi vaishali… (she smiled, riddhima got up) kya hua riddhima??

R: mujhe yaha suffocation ho rahi hai, mai bahar jaa rahi hun… (she rushed out, armaan got puzzled and goes out.. riddhima's standing near railing and was looking down, armaan came from back)

A: riddhima tum theek ho na??? (riddhima nodded, armaan placed his hand on her shoulder, riddhima couldn't control herself and instantly hugged him tightly and slightly sobbed)oeee kya hua??? (riddhima shaked her head, armaan patted her and asked her again)

R: kuch nahi hua armaan, pata nahi kyu darr lag raha hai bahut…

A: kissi ne kuch kaha hai kya jaan??? Kahi tum vaishali ko lekar to… (riddhima looked him, then hugged him again and shaked her head, suddenly armaan jumped with glee, riddhima looked him questionably, armaan said just wait, I'm back in 5 minutes, he goes and riddhima again started thinking, suddenly she felt something very heavy on her head, she turned and found very beautiful mehroon color saree in soft net with work of colorfull jarkans, riddhima kept on looking at it and small smile started playing on her lips) caught you… finally.. ab parso tum yahi saree daalogi.. (riddhima nodded and hugged armaan again, riddhima noticed vaishali watching them with sadness)

Then they checked for jewllery, vaishali kept on asking for armaan's choice, riddhima tried to ignore everything, finally they came back after having dinner, next day, after breakfast beautician came for applying mehendi on woman's hand, riddhima like every year first asked armaan to apply some mehendi, armaan did so, vaishali too asked armaan to make a design like riddhima on her hand too as she liked the design, armaan said he doesn't know, vaishali pleaded again, he finally made some cartoon on her hand, during lunch armaan started feeding riddhima, vaishali's sitting next to her, she too opened her mouth which makes armaan uneasy…

Va: khilla do armaan, mere haatho par bhi mehendi lagi hai, mai kaise khaungi???

A: par..

R: (cutting him) khilla do armaan, doston ke liye itna to kar hi sakte hai na..

Like this whole day passed, everyone's busy in preparation for karwa chauth, vaishali stayed at AR's home night, next day, around 4o'clock everyone woke up for sargi, when vaishali too settled with R-Ri, ritu asked her for whom she's keeping fast for, vaishali changed the topic, armaan-riddhima started eating in one plate.. armaan kept on feeding riddhima and riddhima's feeding armaan, vaishali kept on stealing glances and suddenly asked..

Va: jhuta khaane se bhi pyaar bhadta hai na?? (everyone nodded, vaishali looked at the bowl in which little kheer's left by armaan, when AR's sargi got over, vaishali asked them to go to their room, she'll clean the mess, armaan pulled riddhima towards room, when everyone left, vaishali picked up the bowl and was on the verge of eating kheer but stopped when heard ritu's voice)

Ri: mai tumhare saath sab kuch kitchen mai rakhwa deti hun, so jao tum bhi, abhi thodi daer baad uthna hoga mandir jaane ke liye… (she picked up the bowl which vaishali's trying to pick and moved in kitched, washed the bowl and goes in room,vaishali too goes in room half heartedly)

In morning everyone went to mandir as riddhima kept small hawan for armaan, in noon everyone took rest, in evening riddhima made aarish and angel ready, then she placed armaan's clothes on bed, asked him to change and turned to go in dressing room but armaan holds her hand and pulled her towards himself

R: armaan…

A: riddhimaaa…. (with slight naughtiness)

R: armaan choddo mujhe, taiyar hona hai, phir katha karni hai, hatto na please…

A: (shaked his head and holds her more tightly) aaj pure 5 saal baad ye din aaya hai, aise kaise jaane de aapko??

R: kya matlab???

A: matlab ye mrs. Riddhima armaan malik ki aaj aap kuch nahi karengi, aaj jo bhi karna hoga hum hi karenge…. (riddhima again gave him confused look, armaan blew some of her hairs and dropped her saree pallu from her shoulder, riddhima's shocked, her heart beats raised with the proximity they're sharing at present, armaan turned her such that her back's touching his chest, he in her ears mumbled) matlab ye ki aaj aapko A-Z hum hi taiyar karenge… A-Z ka matlab to aap jaanti hi hongi na mrs. Basket malik???

(he said this in her ears making her beats banging on her chest wall, he could hear her beats very well, he smiled and removed her saree, placed his hand on the knot of her under-skirt, riddhima placed her shivering hands on his hand, somehow opened her eyes and looked him through mirror, then quickly turned and hides herself in his chest and shaked her head) chalo A-Z ki jagah, A-W tak taiyar karunga, Z tak taiyar kiya to chaand aakar tata-byee byee karke bhi chala jaayega par aapki dhadkane nahi thamegi… (riddhima hits him from his chest, armaan smiled and hugged her) aaj chod raha hun, par hamesha itni lucky nahi rahogi…(she goes in washroom to change her underskirt and blouse, then came back and gave saree to armaan..)

A: ohh hoo, itni sharafat, kya baat hai….(riddhima smiled)

R: maine socha ki jab tum mujhe lucky banane ke baare mai itna soch sakte ho, to mujhe bhi sochna chahiye… (armaan made her turn and holds her from her waist and lightly dragged his finger down from her neck, then slightly kissing her)

A: not bad mrs. Malik, I'm impressed..

(he again kisses her and took saree from her hands, then closed her eyes, don't know why but in riddhima's mind all the memories started rushing when armaan for the first time made her ready that is on their engagement day, may be because that day too they're on the verge of starting their new life and today also their life's taking a new turn, that day she felt his touch closely and deeply which connected them internally, which added passion and voraciousness for each other and today after spending 10 years with each other, the touch was again all new, that nervousness, that voraciousness was back again as if she's experiencing all this for the first time, her heart beats were also playing with her as if she's learning the meaning of passion…. She came in present when heard armaan's voice, riddhima looked him, armaan just kept on smiling, riddhima asked what??)

A: chaand nikal aaya hai…

R: sach??? Challo jaldi.. (she stopped and looked at armaan with fake anger) abhi to sham hui hai, chaand kaha se nikal aaya?? Jhoote… (armaan smiled and moved at the back of her, then holding her from her waist, with one arm pointed towards mirror, riddhima looked in mirror, armaan placed his chin on her shoulder and one hand on the corner of her lips to put kaala teeka, then mumbled)

A: ab batao chaand nikla ya nahi??? (riddhima blushed a bit but made face at armaan..)

R: bas baatein banani aati hai tumhe, hatto ab, mujhe jaana hai.. (she made armaan aside and moved towards door, armaan looked at her confusingly, riddhima turned and smiled) thanku.. (armaan smiled) ye chandni apne chaand ka bahar intejar kar rahi hai, hope chaand jayda wait nahi karwayega.. (armaan shaked his head with a wide smile and goes in washroom, riddhima again looked herself in glass and adored herself.. then moved out, everyone kept on looking at her, armaan came from back and holds riddhima)

A: oee buri najro waale meri biwi ko najar na lagao…

Ri: iss se pucho ki kya jarurat thi itna sundar lagne ki, ab katha kaise karenge??

R: mera koi kasoor nahi hai, saari galti inki hai… (pointing towards armaan)

A: aah haa, ek to taiyaar karo uppar se mujhpar hi ungli uthayi jaa rahi hai..

Ri: ohh to aaj armaan ne riddhima ko taiyar kiya hai, not bad kayue, waise aur kya kya kiya jara vistaar se batana pasand karenge??? (riddhima got red and started looking down)

A: kyu humne aaj tak pucha ki chirag kya kya karta hai tere saath kabhi fridge ke piche to kabhi table ke niche…(this time ritu got embarrassed, riddhima slightly pinched him and took ritu with herself, while going she noticed vaishali's lost with tears in eyes may be b'coz she heard their conversation, ritu pulled riddhima, they did katha, armaan remained busy in teasing riddhima, vaishali asked him that hows she looking but his full concentration's on riddhima..)

After sometime they played antakshari, finally chaand came, all rushed out, armaan pulled riddhima in a corner and started doing pooja together, riddhima fed armaan with sweets and he too was on the verge of feeding riddhima but

A: (looking at riddhima who's slightly worried and staring somewhere else) kya hua riddhima??? Kaha khoyi hui ho??

R: armaan…. (still lost)

A: bolo jaan… (riddhima looked him)

R: (taking deep breathe) kya tum jaante ho ki Vaishali tumse pyaar karne lagi hai??? (armaan registered her words and was totally shocked)

A: kyaaa??? (almost screaming) tumhara dimaag to kharab nahi ho gaya hai riddhima??? Kya bol rahi ho ye?? Kaise bol rahi ho???

R: armaan vaishali ne aaj tumhare liye hi vrat rakha hai, usne mehndi par A likhwaya hai..

A: (cutting her) riddhima ye tumhara vahem hai aur kuch nahi, vaishali jaanti hai ki mai tumse pyaar karta hun, wo aisa kar hi nahi sakti..

R: kyu?? Ye kahi par likha hai kya ki kissi pyaar karne waale insaan se koi aur pyaar kar hi nahi sakta?? Feelings ka kya hai, jab marji, jiss marji ke liye aa jaati hai aur dil par hukumat karke baith jaati hai, unpar hamara koi bas nahi hota..

A: riddhima for god sake ye baatein band karo, mai jitna jayda tumhe aur khud ko problems se dur karne ki koshish kar raha hun utna tum jaan bujh kar unhe bhadane ki koshish kar rahi ho..

R: armaan tumhe kya lagta hai mere liye ye sab kehna aasaan hai??? Mere liye asaan hoga na ye dekhna ki uski najrein baar baar tumhe dhundti rehti hai, asaan hoga ye dekhna ki wo har cheez mai khud ko mujhse compare karti hai, koshish karti hai ki jo tum mere liye kar rahe ho wohi uske liye karo, ya phir asaan hoga ye dekhna ki wo mere hi saamne tumhare naam ka vrat rakh rahi hai, ussi chaand se tumhari lambi umar ki dua kar rahi hai jiss chaand ko mai ardhaye de rahi hun tumhare naam ka, apne pyaar ke naam ka, tumhari choice ki saree daalna, tumhara jhuta khaane ki koshish karna, sab asaan hai na mere liye dekhna… (armaan holds riddhima, riddhima shrugged him) armaan mujhe problems mai jaane ka shownk nahi hai, par kya karun agar wo peecha nahi chodti to, kaise ignore karun ye sab??? (a tear rolled down from her eye, armaan took her in hug and looked at vaishali with anger)

A: sorry… mai abhi vaishali se baat karta hun..

R: kya kahoge??? Ki tum mujhse pyaar karti ho?? Kyu pyaar karti ho?? Mai ek shaadi shuda insaan hun, tumhe koi hak nahi hai mujhse pyaar karne ka.. ye bologe?? (armaan looked her) wo seedha kahegi mera dil, meri feelings,unhe tum control nahi kar sakte armaan, phir kya kahoge???

A: phir kya solution hai iss baat ka?? Agar uss se baat naa ki to tum aise hi pareshan rahogi, mai tumhe ab pareshan nahi dekh sakta riddhima, kyu nahi samajhti tum ki dil dukhta hai tumhari aankhon mai ek bhi aansu dekhkar..

R: (hugged him tightly) aur meri jaan jaati hai agar ek pal bhi tumse dur hone ka khayal dil mai aata hai to, armaan mere issi tarah kareeb rehna hamesha ke liye…

A: (patted on riddhima's back) riddhima mai aaj vaishali se kuch nahi kahunga, par agar uske kaaran tum jara sa bhi pareshan hui to mai seriously ek pal nahi lagaunga ye bhulne mai ki usne pichle 6 months mai hamari kitni help ki, dosti ussi pal khatam ho jaayegi agar uski wajah se tumhari aankho mai paani ki ek boond bhi najar aayi to… (he kissed on her head and hugged her tightly, he's still in a shock and remembered all the actions of vaishali and concluded that riddhima's right, both break apart when heard vaishali's voice)

Va: armaan tum please mujhe paani pila doge, mera gala sukh raha hai aur mere haatho mai keechad laga hai.. (armaan looked her, she made bechari face, armaan's temper started increasing, he took jug from table and spilled water on her hand)

A: (rudely) vaishali itna bacho ko bhi pata hota hai ki keechad mai haath bharte hai to paani se saaf karte hai unhe aur mai tumhara koi naukar nahi hun jo tumhe kabhi paani pilaunga ya khaana khilaunga, dimaag ki jagah haath jayda challaya karo acha rahega tumhare liye… (he holds riddhima's hand) challo riddhima, tumne subah se kuch nahi khaaya.. (he took riddhima from there, vaishali started crying, on dinner table armaan ignored vaishali badly, she rushed out from there, riddhima looked at armaan with sadness)

A: sorry riddhima, sach jaan ne ke baad mai uski feelings ko baithkar aur hawa nahi de sakta… (riddhima looked helplessly at him)

Next day, vaishali asked armaan if she made any mistake than scold her but don't talk to her rudely, armaan made her clear that her mistakes or any of her actions doesn't matter to him at all, the only thing that matters to him is his family, his wife and his kids,vaishali's again hurt, riddhima asked him to not to hurt her that much, behave normally with her, armaan reluctantly agreed…

To be continued..

Precap:

R: armaan mai jaa rahi hun..

A: par hua kya hai riddhima???

R: ye tum mujhse nahi, khud se pucho, kaha karte the ki ab se mera saara waqt tumhara hai, par hakikat mai tumhare paas har kissi ke liye waqt hai, bas mujhe chodkar.. pichle 1 mahine se mai intejar kar rahi hun tumhare saath kuch pal bitaane ka par tumhe meri fikar chodkar baaki sabki fikar hai..

A: aisa kuch nahi hai riddhima, bas sabke saath rehne mai maja aata hai, sab apne hi to hai yaha, tumhare saath rehna aur sabke saath rehna ek jaisa hi to hai… (riddhima's shocked and rushed from there, asked driver to take her back to hotel)

Lots of love

Part-216

Armaan kept on looking at riddhima who's playing with angels, they goes on eatables shop riddhima feeded all the angels one by one then took them to the accessories shop and bought them gifts, angels got very happy, they started playing, seriously riddhima's not looking in herself, her steps were somewhere else and she herself was somewhere else, she kept on looking around with a longing in eyes,

she's admiring huts, her eyes automatically starts twinkling with happiness, armaan panicked when saw ritu calling him again, he picked up call and said "ritu bas thoda time aur, car kharab ho gayi hai", ritu got tensed "mai chirag ko kehti hun wo lene aate hai tumhe", armaan quickly "nahi ritu, tum sab check kar lo, hum mechanic ke paas hi hai, jaise hi car theek hoti hai hum pahunchte hai", ritu nodded and cut the call,

riddhima came to armaan and asked for his cell, armaan's tensed thinking "kahi ye vaishali ko call to nahi karegi", but when riddhima started clicking photos he realized that she's in her dream land at present, far from the real world so he need not to worry, riddhima once again looked at everything thoroughly, she touched everything starting from the magical water to the stars, from the swans to the huts, from the shops to the angels and with tears goes to armaan, before armaan could say anything..

Riddhima in little thick and worried voice "tum ro kyu rahi ho??", riddhima made her voice normal " don't worry armaan, mai bilkul theek hun, kuch hi palon mai iss duniya se nikal kar normal duniya mai jaane waale hai na, issliye shayad aankhein bhar aayi", armaan looked at her quiet shocked, before he could speak anything riddhima continued in thick voice with questionable eyes "riddhimaaa, ye tum kya keh rahi ho????", riddhima made her voice normal "armaan ye duniya bahut pyaari hai, apni premika se puchoge to wo iss duniya se kabhi bhi nahi jaayegi, par ek maa se puchoge to wo yaha aur nahi tik paayegi kyunki wo jaanti hai ki uske bache pareshan honge ab,tum ye baat mujhe batana chahte the par meri khushiyan beech mai aa rahi thi, haina "

A: nahi riddhima aisa kuch nahi hai… (he tried to lie)

R: armaan… (armaan looked her) agar aisa nahi hai to tum mere saath hokar bhi itne ghum kyu ho??

A: par tum nahi jaana chahti na.. (making a sad face, riddhima smiled and looked at fairy's world again)

R: ye duniya sapno ki duniya hai, iss se pyari koi duniya nahi ho sakti, par hamari hakikat ki duniya bhi iss duniya jaisi pyaari hai kyunki 2 angels hamare paas rehte hai hamare bacho ke roop mai, hum ek pariyo ki duniya se dusri pariyo ki duniya mai jaa rahe hai to dukh kaisa??? (she smiled, armaan hugged her thinking "that's why I love her so much", all the angels hugged AR and came to drop them)

Armaan settled in boat and forwarded his hand for riddhima, she holds his hand, settled on boat and kept on looking at fairy's world till it didn't vanished from her eyes completely, then took a long breathe and rested her head on armaan's shoulder, both remained silent, riddhima's still in her fairy's land, they reached back on ground, armaan took riddhima out from boat, riddhima looked up again but didn't find anything except clouds, it's all looking like a dream again, as boat moved up again riddhima waived her hand, armaan smiled and made her sit in car, his cell started ringing, riddhima's surprised to see ritu's name flashing on screen, she picked up call..

Ri: kaha hai armaan?? Kab se phone kar rahein hai, car theek hui ya nahi?? Kab pahunch rahe ho tum log yaha par?? Hum kab se wait kar rahein hai aur bache bhi..

R: kaha wait kar rahe ho??? Kya bol rahi ho ritu?? (armaan gave irritated look for ritu thinking "aaj pehle iske muh ka operation karke dekhta hun ki konsi haddi hai iske muh mai, jarur dogy ki hogi, aage se kissi bhi plan mai iss chipkali ko involve karna hi nahi hai, pata nahi konsa bura waqt tha jab maine isse saara plan bataya", he makes face again

Ri: (from her hand cell dropped out of anxiousness) ohh riddhima tum..

R: tum kya bol rahi thi??

Ri: mai to ye keh rahi thi ki tum log kaha par ho, cell out of reach tha, ye batana tha ki hum pahunch gaye theek se, bache bhi theek hai… (saying so she cut the call, riddhima made weird face but smiled in next second when moon ride flashed in her mind, riddhima noticed that armaan's going somewhere else)

R: armaan ye hum kaha jaa rahe hai..

A: mujhe yaad aaya ki humne ice-cream to khayi hi nahi, wo khaye bina hum ghar kaise jaa sakte hai??

R: par.. (armaan looked her) okk… (she didn't dare to say anything, armaan smiled to himself and stopped car in front of ice-cream stall, armaan ordered ice-cream for both of them, riddhima while eating said) ye to rishu ki favorite ice-cream hai, wo ye ice-cream dekhta to kehta ki… (before riddhima could continue)

Mumma lishu ko ye ich-cleam achi lagti hai, lishu ko ich-cleam de do pleash, phil lishu mumma ki shaali baat maanega, kunki lishu good boy hai na…

Riddhima turned with surprise and found aarish standing with requesting eyes, riddhima quickly dropped ice-cream and rushed to aarish, took him in arms and worriedly..

R: betu aap yaha kaise aaye??? Aapko to ghar par hona chahiye tha??

Aa: mamma mai maamu-maami ke saath aaya tha ghumi kalne, unhone na mujhe dhel saale khone(dher saare khilone) bhi dalaye(dilwaye), maamu na mele liye ghola(ghoda) bhi bane the, maine dhel saali lide(dher saari ride) ki, aul na jab mele ko mumma ki yaad aa li thi na aul angel ko dal(dar) lag laha tha na to maami ne na mumma ki talah lishu, angel ko huggy kala tha phil lishu ko dal ni laga.. (riddhima hugged him tightly and kisses him but suddenly)

R: par betu maamu aur maami to apne ghar gaye waapis.. wo to yaha par nahi hai.. (riddhima looked at armaan who acted as if doesn't know anything and took aarish in his arms)

A: ye tumhara beta raaste se kissi ko bhi utha kar apna maami-maamu bana leta hai.. (then looking at aarish) iss vaishali ki mai abhi band bajata hun mere bacho ko aise kaise iss waqt yaha lekar ghum rahi hai, pata nahi kisse iska mama-maami banwa diya, kaha hai wo.. (he looked here and there, then looked at aarish) oee kaha hai tere so-called maama-maami, aur vaishali aunty.. (aarish pointed to somewhere, riddhima panicked thinking "pata ni vaishali kaha hai, aarish ko aise yaha akela chod diya hai, angel kaha hogi..", she quickly rushed at the back of armaan thinking about angel and cursed herself for being so irresponsible and selfish mother who forgot her child in her happiness, they reached near one cruise liner, riddhima worriedly)

R: aarish angel kaha hai babu??? (aarish pointed towards cruise liner) armaan mujhe chinta ho rahi hai, tum vaishali ko call karo na..

A: aarish keh raha hai ki wo ship mai hai, to wahi check karte hai na..

R: par armaan vaishali ne aisa kuch nahi bataya tha ki usse aisi kissi jagah mai aana hai..

A: jaise wo tumhe apne pal pal ki khabar deti ho… aana hoga usse tabhi to aayi hai na, warna aarish kya khud udd kar yaha aa gaya… (riddhima makes a face and moved towards ship, while crossing the stairs riddhima's pallu got struck in railing, she looked for armaan but to her surprise he's not there, she somehow detangled her saree and crossed the stairs, there's utter silence on deck, riddhima called armaan, aarish, vaishali, angel but no one respond..)

Someone tapped on her shoulder, she relaxingly turned thinking its armaan but screamed loudly when found 3 bhoots in front of her in black clothes having white faces, all lights went off, riddhima got scared and tried to run back screaming "armaan… armaann…" but fell down on some sponge like thing, before she could stand, she felt she's taken to somewhere, she screamed and tried to move but someone holds her arms and pushed her back, sweat formed on her forehead..

She kept on screaming, suddenly she saw the image that someone's standing at her back ready to kill her with sword and someone in her ears mumbled "aaj hum iski bali chadhayenge,sardar khush ho jaayenge itna khubsurat khaana dekhkar….", riddhima's shocked and the someone who's at her back roared loudly and brought sword close to her, riddhima with horror covered her eyes tightly with hands….

Suddenly she heard claps and was surprised, she mustered some courage and looked through the space between her fingers and found a group of people standing in front of her looking down at something, riddhima looked down and with surprise removed her one hand and asked "ye sab kya ho raha hai???"

All looked at her and riddhima's hell shocked to see ritu-chirag, their interns from Mumbai, prachi- rohit, before riddhima could react

Sid: dekho na bhabhi kitne mushkil se aur kitne pyaar se mai mumbai se itna bada aur pyara cake laaya tha par ye ritu bhabhi ko koi kaam theek se nahi karna aata, saara cake kharab kar diya apne bure bure ideas ki wajah se..

Ri: ohh siddhart ke bache..

Sid: (pointing finger to her) oee jubaan sambhalkar, mere character par ungli mat uthana, mera character bahut Pak(pure) hai..

Ri: maine kab tere character par ungli uthayi?? (confusingly)

Sid: abhi abhi to kaha ki siddhart ke bache.. jab meri shaadi nahi hui to bache kaha se aa jaayenge mere?? To ye mere character par khichad nahi uchala to kya kiya… (before ritu could say anything, riddhima screamed)

R: shut up…

Sid: ohh hoo hamare sardar ko gussa aa gaya, sirf in ritu bhabhi ki wajah se.. (he looked at her angrily)

R: ab tum log chup na hue to mai tum logo ka sir phod dungi… tum sab yaha kya kar rahe ho???

Sid: aapka birthday celebrate kar rahein hai..

Ri: par abhi tak iss kabutar ke muh se ek bhi wish nahi nikli, bas apne sade hue cake ki taraf dhyan hai iska…(riddhima's irritated, ritu felt a tight hit on her head, she turned and found armaan looking at her irritatedly)

A: kissi se ladne ka mauka ni chodti na tu, riddhima ko surprise dene ke liye kaha tha, irritate karne ke liye nahi..

Ri: to surprise hi to diya hai aur kya kiya hai??

A: haan ritu uski aankhein surprise se phatti jaa rahi hai.. dekho.. uska chehra to aise lag raha hai jaise usse mindblowing surprise mila ho.. (ritu makes a face) ek surprise dena tha wo bhi theek se nahi de paaye, nikamme ho tum sab, kissi kaam ke nahi ho…

R: ab tum sab ki ladayi khatam ho gayi ho to mujhe please koi kuch bata do… (before she could get answer, all the interns came and hugged her tightly but before they could say anything, her eyes popped out when she saw vaishali coming from front with tape tied on her lips and her hands,legs were tied with a rope, she's coming to them with jumps) vaishali.. (riddhima quickly rushed to her and removed tape from her mouth, while everyone's trying to control their laugh) vaishali..

Va: ritu ne ye sab kiya.. (riddhima looked at ritu with anger)

Ri: to ab mai tere bacho ko sambhalti ya iska muh aur haath pakad kar baithti, jab se isse bataya ki tera birthday hum sab iss ship par celebrate karenge aur tujhe surprise denge tab se ye baar baar tumhara number dial karne ki koshish kar rahi thi taaki hamara saara surprise tumhe pehle hi bata de, uppar se tumhari beti itna besura sur gaa rahi thi to maine iske haath paon bandh diye, kuch galat kiya maine??? (riddhima looked at armaan who's on the verge of hitting his head on fence)

Va: pata hai riddhima ye log kahi nahi gaye the, yahi par the..

R: wo to mai bhi dekh sakti hun vaishali, par abhi tak mujhe kuch samajh nahi aaya…

Ri: tera dimaag bahut mota hai riddhima…

A: chipkalli bas ab tu usse kuch bhi samjhane ki jehmat mat uthaiyo, riddhima tumhara b'day hum iss cruise liner par celebrate karne waale the, yaha tumhe laana sab planned tha, surprise dena tha tumhe jisspar ritu aur tumhare iss nikamme dewar siddharth (hitting on his head tightly) ne badi hi mehnat se paani fer diya, maine kitni baar kaha ki mai khud sab kuch handle karunga tumse nahi hoga, par tab inn logo ne itna chode hokar kaha ki abhi maine inki capacity dekhi kaha hai, aisa dhamaal karienge ki maine aur tumne sapno mai bhi nahi socha hoga..(he looked at ritu and siddharth who made faces) seriously itna acha planning maine kabhi dekhi hi nahi,taaliyaan tum logo ke liye..

Sid: dekha bhabhi bhaiya mujhe kaise bol rahein hai, mera kya kasoor agar mujhe partner hi lallu mila ho to… (ritu looked him with widened eyes)

R: ohh okk okk.. bas ab ladna mat, mujhe aap sabka surprise bahut pasand aaya, thanku so much..

A: tumhare chehre se 1% bhi nahi laga ki tum surprised ho, dari hui ho buri tarah ye jarur lag raha tha..

Sonal: wo bhi ritu bhabhi ka hi plan tha, wo keh rahi thi ki aise riddhima bhabhi bahut darr jaayengi aur baad mai utna hi khush hongi… (riddhima gave ritu THE look, who showed teeths to her) bhaiya hum log ache hain na, hume pata tha hum kar hi nahi paayenge issliye koshish hi nahi ki… (she showed her teeths, armaan nodded and gave her side hug)

Ri: kaamchor ho tum log, pata ni siddharth tune kya dekh ke sonal ko pasand kiya hai, tu kitna hard-working hai chahe kaam bigaadne ke liye hi sahi, par teri sonal to bilkul hi nakaara(useless) hai…

R: (shouting) cake cut kare.. (she's not in mood to see any more fights,she cut the cake once again, as soon as she did so, cruise liner got lightened up with different lights and sparkling balls started falling on her, all clapped, riddhima smiled, everyone hugged her once again, aarish came and feeded her wishing her happy birthday, riddhima asked about angel, ritu told her that she's sleeping peacefully in their room.)

R: (with surprise) hamare room mai???

Ri: (jumped with happiness) are waahh, abhi sab kuch khatam nahi hua, picture ka climax to abhi bhi pada hai joki mai dikhaungi…(armaan with eyes said "not you ritu, tujhe dhang se batana nahi aayega", but all pleadings fell on deaf ears)

R: kya matlab???

Ri: matlab ye ki nanandji (putting arms around her neck) ab yehi cruise liner hamara 2 mahine ke liye ghar hai, new year tak hum yahi rehne waale hai, new year par goa mai honge…

R: (with widened smile)seriously??? (ritu nodded, riddhima looked at armaan for confirmation, who flashed his dimples and mumbled "happy birthday jaan", riddhima digested the news then while hugging ritu she mumbled "I love you and thankyou",armaan passed flying kiss to her then got busy with interns and ritu showed riddhima the whole deck, then showed their room, riddhima kissed on angel's head and asked about vibha, ritu told her everything, then they came out, riddhima looked at armaan, he's still busy in catching-up with interns..

Riddhima goes near fence and kept on looking at sea with lost eyes, everything flashed in her mind like a picture, in between ship's on the verge of starting, as soon as engine got started, sky started shining as a result of fireworks and singers started singing…

bas aaj hulchul ho jayey

jab lehar lehar se takraye,

dariya me jo tufan aaye

talatum woh kehlaye

(everyone gathered near dance floor with excitement and started dancing and doing hooting like maniacs, riddhima's still standing near fence, armaan looked at her and goes near her, riddhima unknowingly started singing while looking at sea )

talatum, talatum, talatum, talatum, talatum...

talatum me hum tum hai,

hum tum kahi gum talatum

(armaan stoped at her back and placed his hands over her hands while crossing his arms from her waist, riddhima shivered deeply and placed her head on his collar bone, armaan kissed on her head then continued…)

talatum, talatum, talatum, talatum, talatum...

ISS TALATUM ME HAM DIL KEE KASHTI SANAM AAJ UTARENGE HAI KASAM

(riddhima looked at him and turned immediately and hugged him tightly after making a lock of his hands on her back, both remained silent,singers and waves sound were making them lost in each other again and again, rishabh,vedic came and took them on dance floor and everyone made a circle around them, armaan rolled her such that now her back was facing hers, as armaan moved his hands quiet sensuously on her tummy, riddhima's breathes got struck in her throat)

ISHQ JAB HAD SE BADHHNE LAGE, DARD SANSO ME CHADHANE LAGE

SHABNAMI HO AGAN, THANDI THANDI JALAN

JISM JALNE LAGE, TUT JAYEY BADAN

IS TALATUM ME HAM DIL KEE KASHTI SANAM AAJ UTARENGE HAI KASAM

(she took a deep breathe, armaan pulled her more close and holds her more tightly, riddhima tried to stay calm, but as if everything's trying to add fuel in fire, whether its singers, whether its wind, whether its waves, whether its dim lights, armaan's already lost in her, he's lost since the time he saw her in white saree but somehow he's trying to control himself as he wanted to give her surprise first but this time he's finding it difficult to stop himself specially on dance floor, riddhima's loosing herself in his madness, his touch's making her crazy, armaan unknowingly kissed her on her neck, riddhima looked other side while controlling her breathes, armaan again kissed her on back, riddhima turned and looked at armaan, her eyes were partially opened, she too kisses on his cheeks )

TALATUM, TALATUM, TALATUM, TALATUM...

TALATUM ME HAM TUM HAI, HAM TUM KAHEE GUM TALATUM

(armaan moved his one hand in her hair and slightly pulled them making riddhima hissed in pain, she as a result digged her nail in his back making him , he's on the verge of kissing her on his front neck which was slightly exposed but felt a jerk)

He looked confusingly at riddhima with partial opened eyes as she pushed him, riddhima's looking around, armaan looked around and opened his eyes, looked around again and came back in senses, everyone's clapping nd looking at them with teasing eyes, started passing comments "aaj bahut hotness hai mausam mai", "ohh ho love birds ka saawan aa hi gaya", "room bechare bacho ne gher liya hai to inhone khulle asmaan ko hi apna karma samajh liya" riddhima kept on looking down, her cheeks were getting red, she couldn't tolerate their teasing so she rushed in room,

armaan looked at everyone and teasingly replied "kyu tumhe koi problem hai, kuch naya kiya kya humne?? Jo log tum rooms mai karte ho wohi to humne kiya, kya karein sher ka puttar hain, jo bhi karte hai sabke saamne karte hai, peeth piche hume kuch bhi karne ki aadat nahi hai", chirag said "challo its decided aajse armaan ke room mai hi sab soya karenge, sher ke puttar ko privacy ki jarurat nahi hoti", armaan looked him as if saying "kuch ni hota tera bhi din aayega Saale",

chirag showed him battissi, armaan looked him as if he'll break his teeths,after that he rushed into room and saw riddhima lying on bed and caressing angel and aarish, angel's sleeping while hugging riddhima, armaan changed his dress and settled behind riddhima, her heart beats got raised once again, he moved his arm around her waist, she didn't move from her position, kept on patting kids, armaan too caressed the kids and lies on bed, after few minutes riddhima turned when armaan asked her "tumhe surprise tour kaisa laga??", riddhima placed her head on his chest..

R: bahut acha..

A: finally tumhari wish puri kar di, 1 nahi 2 mahine ke liye hum ghumne jaa rahein hai…

R: (nodded) kitna acha laga sab sirf mere b'day ke liye specially aaye aur kal sab challe bhi jaayenge…

A: kal?? Kissne kaha ki kal sab challe jaayenge??

R: to??

A: sab saath saath 2 mahine ke liye rahenge.. (riddhima's kind of shocked where as armaan's smiling thinking about it) sabki internship over ho gayi hai, ab sabko as a doctor hospital join karna hai, hospital join karne se pehle sab enjoy karna chahte the to sab yahi aa gaye 2 months ke liye, chirag ko kuch months tak online kaam hi karna hai to uska problem nahi hai, rohit ne leave le li hai, ritika ke school hai to wo apni naani ke pass hai, so all set without problems.. (riddhima thought "par ma to akele jaana chahti thi armaan, par tumhari excitement bhi samajh aati hai, itne waqt baad dosto se mile ho, itne saalon baad jindagi jeene ka mauka mila hai, enjoy to obviously karoge na tum aur waise bhi hum rahenge to saath saath na, pata nahi kyu mujhe alag alag ki lagi rehti hai", she scolded her but she's still feeling bad somewhere as she wants to remain alone with him for sometime, she still needed time to get her past 5 years out of her head so that she can believe on happiness that's welcoming them, for that she wants to spend time with armaan but…..)

To be continued..

Precap: riddhima looked at armaan sadly and he continued to dance with vaishali on "haye raama ye kya hua, kyu aise mujhe satane lage"…

Riddhima while dancing with rishab and looking at armaan sang

HAI AJAB SI LEHAR KEE CHALAN, BACHAKE REHNA JARA JANEMAN

ISHQ KAA YEH SAFAR, HAI BADA BEKHABAR

LAG RAHA JANEY KYUN, DUB JANEY KAA DAR

ISS TALATUM ME TUM DIL KEE KASHTI SANAM AAO UTAROGE HAI KASAM

TALATUM, TALATUM, TALATUM, TALATUM...

after that she rushed to other corner of the ship, armaan too followed her and

A: kya hua riddhima???

R: armaan mai jaa rahi hun..

A: par hua kya hai riddhima???

R: ye tum mujhse nahi, khud se pucho, kaha karte the ki ab se mera saara waqt tumhara hai, par hakikat mai tumhare paas har kissi ke liye waqt hai, bas mujhe chodkar.. pichle 1 mahine se mai intejar kar rahi hun tumhare saath kuch pal bitaane ka par tumhe meri fikar chodkar baaki sabki fikar hai..

A: aisa kuch nahi hai riddhima, bas sabke saath rehne mai maja aata hai, sab apne hi to hai yaha, tumhare saath rehna aur sabke saath rehna ek jaisa hi to hai… (riddhima's shocked and rushed from there, asked driver to take her back to hotel)

Next update: in this week, but don't know when..

Stay tunned

Lots of love

Part-217

1 month later…

Its 28^th November, everyone was busy in partying, though each one was hell tired but no one dared to come down from dancefloor, everyone's so engrossed in dancing that no one realized "riddhima's not there with them from last 2 hours", she'sitting in one corner, her eyes were strictly trying to not to get filled with tears but again and again it's failing miserably, her heart's aching very badly, feeling very ignorant yet she's trying to smile,

her gaze was fixed on only one person that's on her armaan but seems like he has time to see everywhere but not towards riddhima, soon game started on floor that on whom green light will stop that two will pair up for dancing, riddhima expected that now armaan'll surely look for her like in past he always did so that he can dance with her but again her expectation smashed as armaan's so engrossed in having fun to even realize that riddhima's not there with him,

game started, armaan's hooting was raising with time, soon green light stopped on him, riddhima wished if armaan looks at her for once but no, he's rather waiting to see who'll be his partner and soon green light stopped at vaishali, everyone clapped and armaan smiled a bit, then goes to vaishali and forwarded his hand which vaishali holds after a little session of sharmo sharmaying,

D.J played music which shocked armaan-riddhima, song was "haaye rama ye kya hua, kyu aise mujhe satane lage" everyone hooted badly and says "iss song mai light ka kya kaam hai, off kar do lights" and two spot lights were following armaan-vaishali, armaan finally pulls vaishali from her waist and started dancing,soon their moves started getting sensous, from riddhima's eyes finally tears started flowing, its not that she's doubting armaan, she cant doubt armaan in dreams also, neither she's affected by his partner, it doesn't matter to her but what was hurting her is armaan's behavior towards her.

"mujhe armaan tumhare partner se farak nahi padta par kaash ek baar hamesha ki tarah tum meri taraf dekhta, hamesha ki tarah wish karte ki hum dono dance partners ho, par... " she dropped one tear again and sadly looked at vaishali and armaan, soon all performances got over, vedic was crossing by when she saw riddhima sitting on couch, he moved to her and dragged her on dance floor, armaan looked at riddhima and passed a smile saying "mujhe laga tum room mai challi gayi ho",

then again he got busy in chatting with chirag, riddhima's eyes again got filled seeing his cold behavior, green light stopped at her and her partner was rishab, she said no, but rishab asked her to come, she looked at armaan hopefully thinking may be now he'll say to rishab that he'll dance with riddhima but armaan said "riddhima go na..", rishab dragged her, D.j was on the verge of playing music but before they could, riddhima started singing while dancing with rishab…

HAI AJAB SI LEHAR KA CHALAN, BACHKE REHNA JARA JANEMAN

ISHQ KAA YEH SAFAR, HAI BADA BEKHABAR

LAG RAHA JANEY KYUN, DUB JANEY KAA DAR

ISS TALATUM ME TUM DIL KEE KASHTI SANAM AAO UTAROGE HAI KASAM.. (talatum song continued from previous update)

(riddhima kept on looking at armaan, armaan first looked at riddhima surprised by her words, he could see that riddhima's singing intentionally, he gave a confused look to her, and then got busy in talking with mukul, riddhima's badly hurt, her eyes couldn't control..)

TALATUM, TALATUM, TALATUM, TALATUM...

( in breaking voice she mumbled this then slightly pushed rishab and rushed to other corner of the ship, everyone got confused thinking what happened to her, armaan just smiled and asked hem to relax and enjoy the party, he'll look after the mater then he followed riddhima and found her standing near fence and crying)

A: kya hua riddhima??? (going near her)

R: armaan mai jaa rahi hun… (while clearing her tears)

A: (with confusion) kaha jaa rahi ho??

R: waapis ghar…

A: (slightly shocked) kya bol rahi ho?? Daaru to ni chadhai hai na?? (riddhima turned to go but he holds her hand)

R: armaan mera yaha mann nahi lag raha, mujhe ghar waapis jaana hai..

A: (laughed) bol to aise rahi ho riddhima jaise hum kissi party mai aaye hue ho aur hamare paas option hai waapis jaane ka, hum ship mai hai riddhima..

R: (irritates with his laugh) mujhe achi tarah pata hai armaan ki hum kaha par hai, aur mujhe ye bhi pata hai ki hum waapis kaise jaa sakte hai, mai next station par uttar jaungi, tumhari marji hai agar tum goa jaana chahte ho to, mai tumhe nahi rokungi, par mai ab aur yaha par nahi reh sakti…

A: don't be silly riddhima, ek anjaan sheher(city) mai uttarna aur waha se sab kuch manage karna itna aasaan nahi hai jitna tumhe lag raha hai, hum uss shaher ke baare mai kuch nahi jaante..

R: to theek hai armaan tum yaha par hi rehna, mai khud jaa sakti hun…

A: par hua kya hai riddhima all of a sudden???

R: all of a sudden?? (with pain) all of a sudden kuch bhi nahi hota armaan, har cheez dheere dheere hoti hai aur ek pal mai aakar wo cheez limits cross karna shuru kar deti hai jo bardash ke bahar ho jaata hai..

A: par aisa hua kya hai jo tumse bardash nahi ho raha, mai bhi to yahi hun aur mere saamne to aisa kuch nahi hua jaise tum react kar rahi ho..

R: ye tum mujhse nahi, khud se pucho armaan, tumhi ho jo meri patience ko itne bure tareeke se aajma rahe ho, tumhi mere liye har situation bardash ke bahar karwa rahe ho, kaha karte the ki ab se mera saara waqt tumhara hai, par hakikat mai tumhare paas har kissi ke liye waqt hai, bas mujhe chodkar.. pichle 1 mahine se mai intejar kar rahi hun tumhare saath kuch pal bitaane ka par tumhe meri fikar chodkar baaki sabki fikar hai..

A: (cutting and retorting her) aisa kuch nahi hai riddhima, bas sabke saath rehne mai maja aata hai, sab apne hi to hai yaha, tumhare saath rehna aur sabke saath rehna ek jaisa hi to hai, kitna enjoy karte hai hum sabke saath, par pata nahi kyu tum aisi baatein soch rahi ho… (riddhima again looked at him painfully)

R: mere saath rehna aur sabke saath rehna tumhe ek jaisa lagta hai armaan??

A: riddhima aisa kuch nahi hai, bas itne saalo baad ye mauka mila hai sabke saath time spend karne ka to mai usse waste nahi karna chahta, tum to hamesha mere saath hi rahogi par 1 month baad baaki sab dur ho jaayenge, sab apni life mai busy ho jaayenge to mai inn palon ko barbaad nahi karna chahta… (riddhima looked him with slight shock) challo ab, mukul aaj vaishali ko surprise dene waala hai.. (he holds her hand) waha sab wait kar rahein honge… (riddhima removed her hand from his hand) ab kya hua riddhima??

(with little irritation) acha challo hum baad mai ye sab discuss karienge, abhi waha par challo, mukul vaishali ko ring pehnane hi waala hoga, itna acha occasion hai aur hum yaha par aaltu faaltu ki discussions mai uljhe hai.. (riddhima couldn't control her tears) tumhe nahi lagta riddhima tum bahut jayda hi sensitive hoti jaa rahi ho, har waqt roti rehti ho, koi bhi khushi ka mauka ho tumhare aansu pehle girne shuru ho jaate hai.. (he said little irritatedly, riddhima was shocked hearing his words, tried to clear her tears but she broke down completely and falls on deck like a lifeless body, armaan makes face and settled near her, tried to holds her hand but riddhima moved back while asking him to stop where he's) riddhimaaa….

R: I'm very very sorry armaan, mujhe pehle kyu nahi bataya ki tumhe mai itna irritate karne lagi hun, jaao yaha se, apne dosto ke paas jao, mai tumhare palon ko aur barbaad nahi karungi… (she tried to clear her tears) ye paagal aansu, irritate kyu kar rahe hai mujhe, kyu andar nahi teek rahe, jao andar.. jao andar, yaha tumhari jarurat nahi hai… (she placed her fingers below her eyes) I'm very sorry.. (she kept on mumbling, armaan holds her hands, riddhima tried to detangle herself but armaan's grip was very strong then her retortion)

A: (in calm voice) riddhima..

R: (goes more weak and placed her head on his collar bone) meri aankho ko aansun bahana pasand nahi hai armaan, par kya karun jab tum khud hi meri aankho ko majbur karte ho aansun bahane ke liye, meri aankhein to bas tumhe aur tumhari aankho mai apne liye pyaar dekhna chahti hai, wo pyaar najar ni aata to khud hi chalchala jaati hai aankhein, kya karun isme mai??

Mera ek ek aansu bas tumhe yehi to batana chahta tha ki mai tumhe kitna miss kar rahi hum, jo baat tumhe meri kissi harkat se bhi samajh nahi aa rahi thi, kareeb rehna chahti thi tumhare, par pichle mahine ke ek ek pal mai maine jitna tumhare kareeb hona chaha utna dur tum mujhse bhaagte rahe, tumhe jitna jayda yaad dilaana chaha ki mai bhi tumhare saath hun, tum utna hi jayda mujhe bhulte gaye, kyu armaan??? Kya bhul ho gayi mujhse jo mujhe apne se dur rehne ki saja de rahe ho??? Armaan maine kabhi nahi chaha ki tum hamesha hi mere saath raho, pichle 5 saalo mai jitna tumne suffer kiya hai uss se jayda maine tumhari suffocation, tumhari sufferings ko mehsus kiya hai, mujhe har baat ka ehsaas hai..

A: (cutting her) agar ehsaas hai har baat ka to mujhe enjoy karta dekhkar tum khush kyu nahi ho riddhima???

R: (looked him in shock again and stood up in disbelief) mai khush nahi hun armaan??? MAI?? (she laughed fakely) tumhe enjoy karte dekhkar mai khush nahi hun??? (she laughed again and cleared her tears, armaan too stood up and tried to move close to her as he can see she's hurt badly, riddhima shrugged and moved back) agar mujhe pata hota ki mai hi sirf tumhare kareeb rehne ke liye tadap rahi hun aur tum mere bina bahut ache se enjoy kar sakte ho to I swear armaan mai tumhe kabhi complaint na karti, tumne bahut aadatein bigad di hai meri armaan….

(she didn't complete and turned to go.. but stopped and looked at armaan) kabhi majak mai bhi ye words bolkar mere pyaar aur niyat par shak na karna armaan kyunki tumhari khushi meri jindagi hai, wo dekhne ke liye mai kuch bhi kar sakti hun, shayad tumse dur rehne ki aadat nahi rahi issliye aaj tut gayi tumhare saamne, hamesha mai hi tumhari dance partner rahi hun na to aadat nahi rahi kissi aur ke saath tumhe thirakta(dance) dekhne ki, tum shayad sahi the mujhse shayad tumhari khushiya nahi dekhi jaa rahi, bahut khudgarj bana diya hai tumhare pyaar ne mujhe, issliye shayad bardash nahi hua ki tum mere bina har kissi ke saath enjoy kar rahe ho…. I promise ab tumhe meri aankho mai ek bhi aansun najar nahi aayega…(she took a deep breathe) mukul wait kar raha hoga tumhari, tumhe jaana chahiye…

A: (after a bit) tum nahi aaogi??

R: nahi tum jao..

A: sure??? Tum theek ho na??? (riddhima nodded and left)

She entered in room and looked at kids who were sleeping peacefully, she smile seeing angel who's scattered on whole bed, with one leg trying to push aarish, one arm on aarish face, she corrected them and kissed them, then thought about her conversation with armaan, soon memories of last month started coming in her mind.. after her birthday diwali came, all celebrated diwali with a joy, she's very happy being with armaan, don't know whether it's the effect of diwali or it's the love of armaan but she finally felt that her heart's getting rid of all the pains, darkness, insecurities, worries and with each diya that she's lightening with armaan her heart's getting filled with happiness, belief, love(passion), desires….

She kept on looking at armaan, his legs, his dancing, his masti and kept on flying high, very high in sky, she's feeling as if she'd gotten wings that day, his each smile made riddhima's smile more big than the last one, that day she danced like mads, and for next 1 and a half day she remained unconscious, after that day everything changed, armaan's attitude was totally changed, he started ignoring riddhima,actually he didn't ignore her but yes he normally forgets that she too's in the ship,

riddhima told armaan that mukul started liking vaishali and asked him to handle vaishali as he can only make her understand, armaan atlast settled everything in between them with riddhima's help and finally their engagement's fixed, armaan started doing all the preparations, riddhima's taking interest at first in engagement but seeing armaan's ignorance towards her, she started getting down, with each passing day her cravings for armaan kept on increasing, she wants his love, she wants to melt in armaan's arm,

but he seemed to move more far from her, whenever she tries to talk to him either he's called by someone or he himself finds out some work, at night he sometimes sleep in interns room or if he's in his room then either he's very tired to talk or he realizes that he'd not spent time with kids so he asks riddhima to sleep other side of the bed and put kids in between, the things which riddhima wants to tell armaan remains in her heart only because before riddhima could tell her wishes,her desires to armaan, her eyes often sees the happiness, excitement in armaan's eyes, on his face,

so she tends to hide her feelings but she kept on missing the small small things which they used to do before armaan's accident, riddhima came in present and thought about her convo with armaan, before she could thought anything more, ritu came in…

Ri: riddhima yaha kya kar rahi hai, chal uppar, sab wait kar rahein hai, mukul keh raha hai ki wo vaishali ko ring nahi pehnayega tere bina… (then stopped and looked at riddhima) kya hua?? Chehra kyu uttra hua rehne lag gaya hai tera aajkal?? Kayue ne kuch kaha kya?? (riddhima shaked her head)

R: sir dard ho raha tha issliye yaha aagayi… tu chal mai aati hun.. (ritu holds riddhima's hands and took her on deck)

Ri: armaan vedic ke saath hai, tu uss se rings lekar aa, tab tak mai vaishali ka touch-up karwa laati hun… (riddhima nodded hesitantly and goes towards armaan but stopped in middle when heard vedic asking armaan if he's tensed??)

A: kyu mujhe kyu tension hogi???

Ve: bhabhi keh rahi thi ki wo jaa rahi hai.. (armaan spitted out drink , then looked at vedic and started laughing and slapped on vedic's face slightly)

A: naughty boy… chori chori baatein sunta hai..

Ve: (smiled slightly then) aur aapko tension nahi ho rahi???

A: tension… tension kisliye?? Riddhima kahi nahi jaayegi, wo bahut kuch kehti hai par mai jaanta hun wo kya kar sakti hai, kya nahi..

Ve: pucka bhaiya wo nahi jaayengi na??

A: are mai uske saath 11 saal se hun, uske bas ki baat ni hai ye sab karna, wo mere bina kuch nahi kar sakti, kuch bhi nahi… ye chotti moti dhamkiyo se darte nahi hai, teri bhabhi kind of darpok hai, wo jaane pehchane sheher mai hi raat ko nikale mai darti hai to iss anjaane shaher mai to wo sapne mai bhi nikalne ka nahi soch sakti, to no worries..

Ve: bhaiya aapka kuch kal ka plan hai???

A: kyu???

Ve: wo rajni ko island dekhne jaana hai, mujhe jayda knowledge nahi hai, to kya aap hamare saath chal sakte hai???

A: are ye bhi koi puchne ki baat hai, waise bhi aaj se mai free ho gaya hun, kuch to karne ko chahiye na, to kal hum challenge… (both smiled and riddhima's eyes again got filled mumbling "armaan ko hamari anniversary nahi yaad hai, wo aise kyu behave kar raha hai…", she thought about her gift which she made for armaan, the eagerness with which she was waiting for this day then armaan's words and rushed from there, without thinking twice she got down from ship, then looked here and there and stopped one taxi and asked him to move towards hotel)

On ship, vaishali's holding ring and with confusion looked at armaan, armaan showed her thumb and asked her to make it wear to mukul, vaishali reminded armaan's words

"dekho vaishali tum khud ek mature ladki ho, sab kuch jaanti ho, samajhti ho phir bhi kyu apni jindagi ke saath khilwaad karna chahti ho??riddhima meri jindagi hai, aur uski jindagi mai hun, hum dono ko koi alag nahi kar sakta vaishali, tumhare dil mai jo feelings hai mujhe lekar wo bahut jaldi paani si beh jaayegi, mujhe tumhari feelings se koi farak nahi padta, par mujhe aur riddhima ko fikar hai tumhari, dost maana hai tumhe dil se, nahi chahte ki tum apni inn kuch dino ki feelings ke kaaran aane waali jindagi kharab karo,

hum log kuch hi dino mai yaha se, tum se bahut dur challe jaayenge, tum reh jaogi akeli, tumhari feelings bhi tumhare saath nahi hongi, ab soch lo ki tumne kya karna hai, uss insaan se hamesha ke liye judna chahti ho jo tumse jindagi bhar pyaar karega aur khush rakhega ya apni infactuation ke saath rehna chahti ho, sahi aur galat mai kisse chun na hai ye decision tumhara hai, riddhima chahti thi ki ek baar mai tumse baat kar lun, force tumhe koi nahi karega, sahi chunogi to 2 dost hamesha tumhare saath rahenge, galat chunogi to bhagwan jaane….",

vaishali looked in mukul's eyes and finds a river of love, she made him wear the ring and instantly hugged him saying "armaan's right, I'm very lucky mukul, I love you", mukul smiled widely and hugged her tightly, all did cheers, vaishali looked at armaan and mumbled "thanks and sorry", armaan shaked his head and mumbled "all the best"..

on other side, riddhima asked driver that in how much time she'll reach to the hotel, driver didn't say anything, just then his cell started ringing and after talking in codes he said "memsaab hum 15-20 minute mai hotel pahunch jaayega", riddhima sadly closed her eyes and kept on reminding armaan's words,their car stopped at some place, riddhima opened her eyes and was frightened to see darkness all over the road..

R: bhaiya ye gaddi aapne kaha rok di??? (trying to act normal)

Driver: jii aapko yahi par uttarna padega, lagta hai gaadi kharab ho gayi hai..

R: (was shocked) bhaiya ye aap kya keh rahe ho, itni sunsaan sadak lag rahi hai ye, mai kaha jaungi aur kaise??? Aap mujhe waapis chod aaiye..

Dr: aapka dimaag to nahi kharab ho gaya hai, samajh nahi aata ki gaadi kharab ho gayi hai, chaliye uttariye iss gaadi se.. (very rudely, riddhima got scared, he softens suddenly) please ab aap uttar jaiye gaadi se, ye car aage nahi jaa sakegi… (riddhima didn't understand what to do, when driver asked her again to get down, she reluctantly got down and seeing the darkness she got scared, she covers her head when felt some drops of water on her head and with in a minute it started raining heavily, riddhima rushed under tree and settled down, still she's not in senses, she's not understanding that what's happening, everything's occurring so fastly that she's thinking "she's seeing a dream", her mind was not working, her cell started ringing, riddhima little came in senses and took out her mobile from purse, armaan's there…)

R: (in shivering voice) hello…

A: riddhima kaha ho tum??

R: paed ke niche..

A: (confused) kyaa??? Konsa paed??? Ship mai kaha se paed aa gaya??

R: mai ship mai nahi hun armaan…

A: majak mat karo riddhima..

R: mai majak nahi kar rahi armaan, jab ship ruki thi mai uttar gayi thi..

A: (shocked) kyaaa??? Are you mad riddhima??? Kya bol rahi ho kuch pata bhi hai???

R: tum itna shocked kyu ho armaan?? Maine to tumhe bataya tha na ki mai jaa rahi hun, tumhi ne majak mai le liya…

A: (little angry) kyunki mujhe yakeen tha ki tum bahut samajhdaar aur responsible ho…

R: nahi armaan, tumhe ye yakeen tha ki mai bahut darpok hun…

A: mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum itni badi bewkuf ho riddhima, kuch bhi karne se pehle ek baar soch to leti ki kya karne jaa rahi ho, bache, mai kissi ke baare mai socha??? Bas seedha ship se uttar gayi, ab ship bhi chal padi hai.. shit.. shittt… (he kicked) tum ek baar mujhe mil jao… (she sneezed) kya hua?? (worriedly)

R: samajh ni aata, sneeze kiya maine, baarish mai hun to thand to lagegi na..

A: shittt… tumhe nahi lagta tumhara dimaag khatam hota jaa raha hai??

R: mujhe mat kuch bolo, kissne kaha tha mujhe itna ignore karne ko, samajh nahi aata tha tumhe ki mujhe tumhare uss dosto se jayda jarurat hai, tumne 5 saal ka intejar kiya tha agar jindagi jeene ke liye to maine bhi to 5 saal ka intejar kiya tha, tumhara intejar mere intejar se jayda kaise hua phir??? Tumne to apne 5 saal ka intejar khatam kar diya dosto ke saath milkar, par mera intejar abhi tak chal raha hai ki kab mai apne armaan ki baaho mai jaaungi, phir se pyar ki baatein karungi, kisne kaha tha anniversary bhulne ke liye??? Mai pichle ek mahine se kal ka intejar kar rahi hun aur tum vedic ke saath ghumne ka plan bana re ho, tumhe kuch bhi najar nahi aata, kuch bhi samajh nahi aata aur jab tumhe meri jarurat nahi hai to mai kya karungi ship par rehkar, tum jao enjoy karo sabke saath, ship par tumne mere saath nahi dosto ke saath time spend karna tha… (she again sneezed)

A: kitni immature tareeke se behave kar rahi ho riddhima, koi keh sakta hai ki 2 bacho ki maa ho tum….

R: bacho ki maa se pehle tumhari biwi hun, biwi ka dard to kya samjhoge, bas maa ka path(lesson) hi yaad karwana…

A: riddhima tum samajh bhi rahi ho ki tum kitni badi musibat mai phasi hui ho???

R: to kya karun armaan??? Maine sochna hi chod diya hai, iss anjaan sheher mai, sunsaan sadak par, baarish mai.. kya karun mai???

A: achi bhali ship mai thi,pata nahi kaha se ye musibat sir par daal li, sahi socha tha maine tumhare baare mai.. musibat tumhari sagi bahen hai aura b meri saali meri jaan lekar chodegi… (riddhima smiled in tears) ab ro kyu rahi ho?? cruise chodne se pehle dimaag ni challaya gaya???

R: (crying widely) armaan mai tumse bahuttt pyaar karti hun, bahuttt miss kar rahi hun tumhe, mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai… (armaan hits wall in guilty)

A: acha rona band karo…

R: mujhe sach mai bahut darr lag raha hai, yaha bahut andhera hai… (she sneezed thrice)

A: riddhima tumhare paas wallet hai??

R: nahi, mai kuch bhi nahi lekar aayi..

A: (irritated) kya bachpana tha riddhima ye?? Kya kar diya baithe bithaye?? Kya lag raha hai tumhe bahut samajhdaari dikhayi hai tumne ye sab karke?? 11 baj rahe hai riddhima aur tum…. (riddhima cried) ab meri baat dhyan se suno, ye rone ka waqt nahi hai, khadi ho aur dekho aaspass koi ghar hai??? (riddhima shaked her head)

R: yaha bahut andhera hai, kuch najar nahi aa raha…

A: riddhima dhyan se dekho.. (riddhima nodded and moved a bit, then looked here and there, and found one hut kind of thing from which little light's coming) riddhima uss ghar mai jao aur unse help mango…

R: par..

A: ab kuch mat bolna, tumne jo karna tha kar liya, ab bas meri baat suno, mera abhi pahunchna mushkil hai, jab ship next station par pahunchegi to waha se mai last station par aaunga,tab tak aise rehna theek nahi hoga, tum jaao ghar mai, aur jo bhi mile uss se meri baat karwao.. (riddhima nodded, she crossed one ground which's full of flowers, she carefully stepped on stairs to go towards hut, something hit her feet but she ignored it and goes up, then knocked on door, but no answer) aawaj laga kar dekho.. (riddhima while mumbling "koi hai", placed hand on door with little pressure, door got opened)

R: armaan ye to khulla hua hai..

A: to andar jao aur dekho koi hai… (she goes in and shaked her head, kept on sneezing) ab tumhare purse mai medicines bhi nahi hogi.. (riddhima shaked her head)

R: armaan room bada ajeeb sa lag raha hai..

A: tum ye sab chodo aur dekho ki koi kapde wagarah hai waha par??

R: tum paagal ho armaan?? Mai aise kaise change kar sakti hun anjaan jagah par???

A: gile kapdo mai rehkar khud ko phnemonia karwa lena, dekho kapde hai ya nahi??? (ridhima looked here and there and found one plain saree in trunk)

R: armaan mai sach mai change kar lun??? (armaan kept mum, he too's not sure)

A: kiss musibat mai daal diya tumne mujhe??? (she sneezed) kar lo change riddhima, jo bhi hoga, mai hun na tumhare saath… (riddhima nodded and changed herself in saree, then she heard some talks coming from ground, she's shocked and scared, she took her phone to call armaan but to her luck, battery goes off, she moved towards door and tried to open it but it was locked…)

To be continued..

Precap: Stay tuned..

Lots of love
