" What The #*$% "
From Riddhima's POV
i looked up and saw all sneaking glances at each other not daring to say a word...who knows what will the other one going to take...Standing in corners...waiting for some miracle who would solve this misunderstanding where as Mr. Armaan sitting on sofa with Atul infront of him...i don't understand what's the need of this interrogations now coz i won't let happen any miracle
It has been 1 hours since Atul announced he wants to leave...He actually said he is leaving this place right away..Yeah dats what he said...now this questioning session of Armaan
And rather than stopping him Armaan
"Fine...wait for 2 hours i will arrange ur tickets...and then You will be free from all the bonds" Armaan emotionless voice baffled them including Atul who wasn't expecting a yes from him atleast not so soon...but may be day is full of surprises for them...
His words came like a blow to them...their faces clearly showed - incredible...
"i will be here in two hours...there is no need to trust me but i dont think there would be any harm in waiting for two hours ryt???" Armaan asked him roughly
"But Ammi??? how could you agree" Sid started to argue but cut off by Armaan, who turned and stated "Discussion Over" while looking into Sid's eyes
He left- without any answers or more questions...
where as others stood there looking at Armaan's retreating back...
"O...our family is fall...falling apart..." Anji's whimpering voice shocked me...we all stared at her and saw her sliding on floor in tears...i considered her the most strongest and practical person b/w them...
My gaze went on Atul, who saw her falling on floor...a tear slipped out from the corner of his eye...He left the hall without looking back
"H..He is behaving like such a cold-blooded person...yeh hmara Atul nhn hoskta Rahul..kabhi nhn..." Muskan sobbed into Rahul's Arm...who tightened his grip around her seeing her breaking so badly...Their little family is breaking into pieces and he can't do anything
He looked at Sid who looked away to hide his own teary eyes
"I know they all are miserable and broken but i so want to thank Armaan for letting him go...first best thing for them and their life...but still i want to make sure that i have completed my first step successfully,...than only i will move for my next step...no matter how much it hurts me to see them sad i will have to do what i have planned"...sign...
Shilpa stepped back and ran away...locking her room door she too slided down on floor
"Atul can never..but Sid also said he never liked Anji..Kis par bharosa karu...Akhir sach h kya...jo Atul ne kaha wo ya jo Sid kehna chahta h wo... " Shilpa cried hitting her fist on floor
"i can never forgive myself for making you all cry...but i will also never forgive you Anjali for what you did...this friendship was my only family and you with Sid snatched it from me...You're broke my heart Anjali, you're the one who made me shed tears, Still i cant stop my heart from loving you...but more than loving you i will hate you all my life Anjali for ruining Rainbow..." Atul punched on wall of his room furiously
After two Hours
(from Author's POV)
From the corner of her eyes she saw Armaan entering in villa and saw everyone waiting for him...one look at their faces and he would knew what they all are going through...
Armaan entered in hall and looked at Shilpa, Sid, Rahul, Muskan, Anjali sitting on sofas...Waiting for him..His gaze went on Riddhima who was standing near large window and staring at sea...Her face looks blank..no emotions no expressions..he wondered why she is looking so lifeless today...she shouldn't be sad if anything happens b/w Rainbow...
He sighed
"Atul.." Armaan called Atul loudly making others jump in surprise
"Don't tell me you have decided to send him back??? Without even fighting for truth...??" Sid asked Armaan as soon he saw flight tickets in his hand with some papers
"Ye koi simple si misunderstanding nhn hai Sid...For heaven sake he is right wo for bachha nhn hai...he can take his decision... and don't forget we had a truce we won't force each other for anything if he want to leave...sigh...He can " Armaan finished and looked down in shame...guilt of failing in saving their friendship
"this is not the time to pacify anyone...it's time for action before it's too late" Armaan thought and controlling himself went ahead and stood infornt of Atul
"Your tickets..." placing the ticket on table Armaan gestured Atul
"Th...Thanx" Atul replied dryly
"No need...sign on these papers" Armaan forwarded few papers towards Atul, who looked at him in confusion
"Nothing big...these papers says "Atul Joshi is free from all bonds related to Rainbow...and Armaan Mallik will pay all the money loss of their projects"...dats it...in clear words i don't want any daily soap drama Atul...i just want ur signatures...now can i have ur signature???" Armaan placed the papers in Atul's hands, who turned pale
"you won't..." Atul shook his head with moist eyes
"i will have to...and you don't need to worry Atul...for heaven sake just sign on damn papers...then only you can leave...no one is stopping you..dats what u asked ryt??? So fine ur way...sign and leave whenever u want.. no bondation from our side " Armaan cleared
"how can you Armaan...it's a huge some...not 15-20 lakh..." Atul asked him, angry at himself that coz of him Armaan will have to suffer
"it's my headache not urs...and listen if you think m going to stop u than lemme clear - m not going to say - plz don't go, may be its some misunderstanding blah blah...coz today i realized more than ur friends u trust on some crap words...if you are so despo to over this...be my guest" Armaan finally blasted on Atul losing all his patience
Atul gulped, his moist eyes turned teary
"i didn't wanted to..." he started
"but you did..." Armaan glared at him
"papers...sign and leave ...if you can't than sorry to burst ur bubble...just for u i can't let all of them suffer...finish the projects" Armaan yelled pointing at Others...
"i will pay the money.." Atul started which made Armaan's blood boil with rage, within a blur
"you??? You Bloody ...you will pay the money??? What are you??? Some billionaire or millionaire??? " Armaan pulled Atul with his shirt collars...and shook him
"You know what ...just get lost...we don't need your so called money...don't even show ur face to us ...even if we end up dying" Armaan barked and pushed Atul away from him who stumbled back few steps
All stared at Armaan and Atul in shock...seeing situation turning more and more worst by each second
"Ammi Yeh" Rahul and Sid tried to stop him but he cut off their voice by showing his hand
Rather than being hurt by Armaan's words, Atul looked at them and realized just coz him all are suffering...who were never at fault..he looked at
Rahul and Muskan who looks like someone has drenched cheerfulness and blood from them
Anjali...her name made him tighten his fist...if she is so happy with Sid then why this drama of being sad and broken
he looked away and his eyes stopped on Sid...he always took him as his brother...He and Anjali can be together yeah the thought made him sad but he always asked for their happiness than why..why they both insulted him like this...made him do all this which he never wanted to do
He sighed, grasping the conditions no matter what he can't stay here and moved ahead to pick his tickets he can't live here now...whenever he will see Anjali and Sid..reality would haunt him...their betrayal will not let him breathe
His hands were about to pick the tickets when his gaze stopped on a face...Shilpa...
He saw her red puffy eyes and remembered how her eyes becomes red with few tears...her face which always glowed with joy looks so dull...Doll of their group...and he realized what he wasn't seeing...Her...how could he forget how much this scene would be hurting her...she loved Sid even before they heard the love word...she admired him...followed him blindly...slept with dreams and hope of them being together...than how can she stand here...wont seeing Anjali and Sid together going to kill her each day??? ..Still she is here, standing quietly for all...how could he can be so selfish????
he cursed himself for blabbering all the crap infront of her...he could have left without all the scene...just coz of his anger he turned their happy life into sad...whay he didn't thought of this before????
He picked his tickets and tore it into pieces...
"You were right Armaan i m not a billionaire or millionaire...i will complete this project...but i will leave this band as soon our contract will be over" Riddhima turned with a swift motion hearing Atul's word
"Bloody bast***...mauka milega toh jayga na iss project k baad...u never know uske baad tumhari dead body jaye tumhari mum k pas...aur sath mei meri bhi...inke liye toh dukhi hona bhi paap hai...Saala pagal " Riddhima shook her head and cursed Atul mentally
"You sure??? Coz i won't explain the conditions of this project to you everyday..You will have to perform with Anjali and Sid...so before taking any decision, think twice" Armaan spoke rudely and smirked mentally
"i m sure...but tell them i m nothing and no one to them behind the camera..." Atul said and left with luggage
"i don't know what the hell is happening but don't you all think our group is turning into a daily soap?? Har din kuch hmare khilaf hota hai" Armaan asked them and glared angrily
"i don't want anything in news...not a single thing remember that...Duniya mei sab kuch mere kehne se nahi hota...sigh...Anjali stop crying and concentrate...i need you all to work on ur fields...do your rehearsals...Muskan i won't let anything happen to US...Shonna wash ur face..it looks scary..." he pulled Shilpa into hug and teased her who hugged him tightly...
He closed his eyes feeling her tears on his shirt...somewhere hell scared what if whatever Atul said turned out to be true...Two life's on stake...what will he do??? Shilpa - would she will be able to move on in her life forgetting that She ever loved Sid ??? Atul who loves Anjali so much...can he forget her just like that???
he sighed and was about to cursed this whole love thing when his gaze went on her face...
He saw her muttering something but nothing made sense...he shook his head and looked at Rahul blinking his eyes in assurance
"Khud bhi marege aur mujhe bhi lekar marege...koi mujhe btayga kyu???god m not some superwomen...sigh...fine Atul ko nhn jane dia na...just wait you Mallik tum sabko yaha se alag alag plane m na set kia toh mera naam bhi Riddhima nhn..." Riddhima huffed and walked out of house to set plan two for them... knowing they are too busy to notice her
Thank to all my readers who actually waits for me...hats off to all of you...and love you all muahhh
