A Turn of Events
------
Riddhima sat on her bed holding her stomach. She thought about how Muskaan and Anjali had almost realized her love for Armaan. She had gotten lucky - much thanks to Sid who managed to distract them. She had thanked him profusely for letting her live that sangeet moment with Armaan. She knew he had forced Armaan to sing on purpose.
Today was her wedding. Wait, no. Not today, but now. Yes, Riddhima was sitting in her room and was being prepared to be taken downstairs to the mandap. She wondered if she should have listened to Sid and gone to the doctor in the morning. Her pains were getting worse, and the doctor had told her to go in immediately. But she had to bear it. She knew she had to bear it just a little longer, then all would be okay. Her plans would come through.
She gritted her teeth bearing the pain. Anjali looked at her, "Ridzi, are you okay? you look pale." Riddhima turned slightly towards her as she descended the final step. "Haan..woh bas thora sa..."
Riddhima's sentence was left incomplete as she collapsed in Anjali and Muskaan's arms. Muskaan looked at her panicked, "Anj, Dekha! maine kaha tha na something is wrong!" Shashank, Billy, Anaya, Padma and Sid rushed over followed by Rahul and Atul. Sid quickly lifted her up, "I told her it wasn't okay. Lekin nahin, she had this planned I bet. We have to get her to the hospital NOW. Where is Armaan?"
Rahul sighed nervously, "he's not here. He gave me a letter for Riddhima to give her after the wedding." Sid looked at him irritated. "Well find him and get him to the hospital NOW."
---
Armaan stood knee deep in the water staring out at the ocean. He groaned as his phone buzzed for the fifth time. he mentally made a note - never try to commit suicide with your phone in your pocket. He sighed and picked it up while walking deeper into the ocean. "KYA HUA RAHUL? CAN'T A GUY EVEN KILL HIMSELF IN PEACE?"
"YOU ARE TRYING TO WHAT NOW? Dekho Armaan, Snap your pretty little head out of it and get your ugly fat a*s to the hospital NOW. Riddhima fainted before she reached the mandap. Something is seriously wrong. She's bleeding. She's unconscious par all she is mumbling is your name. something like 'love you armaan, armaan sorry, armaan watch her...' I can't make it out properly and Sid is being all psycho mysterious. Shit okay getting her in the OT, get here NOW."
--
Armaan looked at his phone and then back into the depths of the ocean. He then quickly broke out into a run his attempts and plans at Suicide all forgotten. Riddhima was in trouble and he had to get to the hospital as soon as possible.
Armaan ran into the hospital not caring that his pants were wet, not caring about what anyone thought of him, all he could think about were Riddhima and their daughter. No body would have guessed that this was the same man who had been attempting suicide. He ran upto the receptionist.
"Riddhima, Riddhima Gupta, just over 8 monthes pregnant. Surgery. OT. Kaha?" His mind wasn't able to form coherent words. As the nurse pointed out the direction, Armaan broke out in a run and gasped seeing teary faces of their family and friends.
Anjali was crying while holding onto Atul, while Muskaan was hitting Sid while crying, "why didn't you tell us! why didn't you try and stop her?" Rahul was trying to pull her off, while both set of parents sat on the floor crying and praying. Rahul almost immediately sensed Armaan and looked up and saw him. "Armaan agaya."
Sid looked up and walked over to him with Rahul. Rahul spoke first before Armaan could ask about Riddhima. "Why were you trying to kill yourself? Why were you commiting suicide? do we all mean nothing to either of you? couldn't either of you come to us!?"
Armaan looked at him strangely. "either of us? Rahul, batao mujhe. Riddhima ko kya hua?" Sid sighed, "well, Riddhima can explain that better than us. She asked me to give you this letter when the time - yahaneki ab, comes. ye lo."
Armaan took the letter and opened the packet revealing a small envelope with his name on it, as well as several other letters with Sanjana Angel Mallik written on it. This confused Armaan thoroughly. He opened the envelope addressed to him and begun reading.
Dear Armaan,
I know you must be confused right now? Par kya karun, I didn't see any other way out. Armaan around my 6th month of pregnancy, the day after my engagement to Sid. I fainted while driving. I know what you are thinking, you told me not to drive lekin phirbhi...
Anyways, the point is I was involved in a slight car accident. Everyone involved was okay - well everyone but me. I was rushed to the hospital, and by chance Sid had just brought a friend here. He saw me, and well that's why he knows. Armaan the doctor asked me to choose. She told me I had to abort immediately. But how could I do that to OUR baby? She's the only sign that there ever was an Armaan and Riddhima together. I can't destroy that! Doctor ne kaha ki slight pains and I should come immediately, because if the pains get too bad phir only one of us will survive for sure. If I come in earlier then we have a fighting chance.
Armaan I love you. I always have, bas pechan nahin kar payi. I...I can't live without you. I know, I know you don't love me, I mean why would you? Par I can't help it! Isliye I decided ki I won't and don't want to survive this pregnancy. I'm leaving our daughter, my angel who brought me closer to you, with you. Take care of her. I've written several letters for her, each marked with a different number. The number represents her birthdays. Haan Haan I know I ripped this off Kuch Kuch HOta hai, par it really was a good idea.
I'll always watch over you both. Tell my daughter about me one day.
Love you more then life itself,
Riddhima
P.S. I've asked and promised Anji to be Sanjana's godmother.
Armaan looked up shocked. "Nahinnn! Please...You can't do this to me!" Armaan ran over and pulled Sid's collar. "You knew? You knew and still let her kill herself? YOU KNEW DAM**T?" Armaan pushed sid causing him to land on the floor and ran into the OT, not caring about procedures.
"NAHIN RIDDHIMA YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME. YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! PLEASE RIDDHIMA. I LOVE YOU DA**IT! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU. I ALWAYS HAVE! BACHPAN SE HI. PAR I THOUGHT YOU HATED ME! ISLIYE I TRIED TO DISTANCE MYSELF. I NEVER REALIZED KI SAACH MEIN YOU LOVE ME. PLEASE I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU. ISLIYE I WAS TRYING TO KILL MYSELF TONIGHT. PLEASE BABY COME BACK TO ME. PLEASE BABY FIGHT!"
The doctors looked at Armaan horrified. "Sir, you can't be in here." Armaan shook his head. "You save her, please just save her." The doctor looked at Armaan's eyes and sighed, "we're trying, we're trying our best."
Just then they heard the wails of a baby. "congrats. your baby girl is fully developed despite being a premature baby. You have a healthy baby girl." Armaan looked at their baby. "She looks just like Riddhima, please just save her. please save her."
