Sashank's house
"welcome dr. arman…..come come…"dr.sashank welcomed him in his room..
He was called arman to say something important. No one had any idea about it. So all were worried ….they knew that dr. sashank didn't like arman at all.
Dr. sashank was not well from a long time , so he was in bed rest.
"khade keun hain? Please sit down …" dr. sashank looked at him saying this.
Arman sat on the sofa bowed his head down . his heart was beating faster……"kya aaj bhi dr. sashank usey khali hath wapas bhej denge? Kya ab bhi wo usse nafrat karte hain? Kya uski basket usey nahi milegi?"
Someone knocked at the door…arman lifted his eyes…it was basket! His life…his love! She was dressed in aasmani churidar..her silky soft hairs were opened…a cute little smile was playing on her lips but she seemed a bit nervous…she was looking as much beautiful as she was 8 years back…arman's heart was saying to engulf her in his arms and to make a lot love…but he at once controlled his feelings….…
"aao riddhima,mai kuch tum dono se kahne chata hun,jo kahe bina mujhe chain nahi milega..aao mere paas baitho."
Riddhima sat beside her papa stealing her glances at arman……she didn't know what papa was going to say but she was sure about that papa will not keep away her from arman.
"haan,to dr. arman…kya aap jante hain,mai is duniya mein sabse jyada kisey pyar karta hun?"
" shayad apni betion ko…arman said gently and looked at riddhima.
"ya,but betion nahi,meri choti beti riddhima ko..mai apni patni samriti ke baad sabse jyada riddhima ko pyar kiya, jab samriti chali gayi jab anji aur riddhima around 7-8 saal ke they…mai bahut tut chuka tha,us time mujhe sabse bada sahara riddhima ne diya. Itni si bachchi thi par kabhi mujhe udas nahi hone deti thi,mere har jarurat ka khyal rakhti thi. anjali bhi mujhe bahut pyar karti thi par wo thori differant thi,apni duniya mein mast rahne wali." Sashank stopped to take a breathe.
Arman and riddhima both were kept silence.
" phir riddhima ki jindagi mein aap aaye, aur wo badal gayi. Jiski good morning aur good night papa ke naam se hoti thi,ab wahan dr. arman mallick ne le liya. Mai apni pyari si,nasamajh beti ko miss karne laga ,jo har problem mein papa ke paas douri aati thi,ab wo dr. arman ke paas jane lagi ….aur mai apni beti ko khona nahi chahta tha, mujhe nafrat ho gayi usse jisne meri beti cheen li."
Arman was going to protest but riddhima stopped him through her eyes.
Dr. sashank continued …."phir jab dr. arman ne mujhse kaha ki riddhima uski hai aur wo usey apna banakar hi rahega to dr. sashank ke liye wo challenge ban gaya. Maine puri koshish ki usey aapse alag karun,socha dr. siddhant se saadi ke baad wo aapko bhul jayegi….par mai kabhi samajh hi nahi paya ki kabhi kabhi jyada pyar..kisi par jyada adhikar dikhana bhi galat hota hai,jo maine apni beti riddhima ke sath kiya.
Riddhima caught dr. sashank's hand gently …"papa, ab rahne dijiye….
Dr.sashank's voice trembled : " nahi riddhima beta,mujhe aaj kahne do…sabke dill mein yahi sawal hoga ki mai dr. arman se itna nafrat keun karta hun. Mai chahta hun wo baat at least tum dono ko pata chale."
Arman : "sorry sir,but mujhe batane ki jarurat nahi,I know…jab apni pyari cheez cheen jati hai to cheenne wala hi dushman ban jata hai. but sir, maine kabhi nahi chaha ki riddhima aapse jyada mujhe chahe."
Riddhima :"yes papa,arman ka naam to aapke baad aata hai..mai sabse jyada aapse hi pyar karti hun,pahle mai aapki pyari beti riddhima hun aur phir arman ki"………riddhima left her words incomplete.
"aur uske baad aap dr. riddhima arman mallick ho…I mean ,ab ye rista ban jana chahiye"…dr. sashank completed riddhima's sentence and smiled.
Riddhima hugged dr. sashank…" love you papa…..
Dr. sashank : "hmmm…toh dr. arman,jaiye ab jaldi se sadi ki taiyari kijiye…mai apni beti ko dulhan banakar aapke ghar bhejna chata hun…maine pandit ji se baat kar li hai,next month mein date fix kiya hai…
Arman got up and moved towards the door.."ok,sir…
As he reached at the doorstep ,suddenly dr. sashank called …"wait! Dr. arman…
Arman stopped and turned…" ji sir….
Dr. sashank : " aap to meri pyari beti ko mujhse le jaoge,par mujhe bhi kuch chaiye iske badle mein..
Arman : "jo aap kahen sir…
Dr. sashank smiled…" aapki beti…
Arman shocked.."sir!!..meri rishima!!
Dr. sashank nodded.."yes!! aapko bhi pata chale beti cheen jaye to kaisa lagta hai…
Arman :" sir,aapki beti matured hokar bhi nasamajh thi jo dr. arman se milkar samajhdar ban gayi thi, but dr. arman ki beti choti hote hue bhi samajhdar hai,and I don't want to impose my opinion on her…plz. Ask her,she is smart enough.. I will send her ."saying these arman left the room.
Dr. sashank : "beta riddhima ,jao arman ko gate tak chor aao…"
Riddhima nodded her head and got up at once to say bye to arman…
Arman started his bike ,just then he heard riddhima's sweet voice calling his name...….he saw that riddhima was running towards him hurriedly…….
He went off from the bike,riddhima was panting heavily because of running fast…sweat was emerged on her forehead and face became more red …and again arman was mesmerized to see her basket!! he was looking at her without blinking his eyelids,which made riddhima blush.
Riddhima waved her hands in front of arman's eyes : "kya hua? Kya dekh rahe ho?"
Arman moved forward and wrapped his hands around her waist and said…"apni dulhan ko…
He desired to cling her in his strong arm but perhaps riddhima was not in that mood,she wanted to say something to arman.
Riddhima : "ruko arman,mujhe tumse baat karni hai……
Arman (romantically) : " bolo basket…
Riddhima (in a serious tone) :" tumne rishima ko yahan chodne ki baat keun ki? Wo kya sochegi humare baare mein?
Arman made his hold more stronger and and peeped in her almond eyes…..now his voice was more romantic…"bataun maine aisa keun kiya?"
Riddhima nodded her head in yes…..
He pulled her more close ….took his lips to her ears and whispered huskily…"sadi ke baad mujhe kuch din apni basket ke sath rahna hai…akele…sirf mai aur meri dulhan….ish duniya se bekhabar….
Riddhima rounded her eyes.."you selfish man ! Tum aise to nahi they arman…armina kya sochegi?
Arman touched the tip of her nose lovingly …"kuch nahi sochegi…wo bahut matured hai..usne hi kaha ki wo kuch din apne nana-nani ke sath rahna chati hai…next week hum mumbai shift ho rahe hain….
Now Riddhima put her soft arms around his neck and asked in a dreaming voice …" next month kab aayega arman? Ab tumhari basket tumse dur nahi rah sakti….
Arman nuzzled on her neck…"bas,aur kuch din…phir dilwala arman apni pyari si ,duniya ki sabse khubsurat ladki ,apni dulhan ko lekar jayega aur kabhi apne se dur nahi karega….
Riddhima uttered under her breathe : "love you arman….love you more than anything in this world…
Arman : "love you basket…arman loves riddhima….forever….
Love you all
