Part 6
'Shilpa is your daughter and Anjali and Riddhima's sister' this was ringing in Shashank's ears. He never thought that Shilpa could be his daughter but he always felt something for her...then he spoke "But how is this possible...how can she be my daughter...this can't be true" "It is true Dr. Shashank" Arjun spoke. Everyone was shocked specially Armaan. He never ever could imagine that Shilpa is Riddhima's sister. Is fate playing a game with him...he has no answer on this...Arjun spoke again "Shilpa is your and Smriti ji's daughter...u all thought that she died in the car crash but she survived...nobody knew who she was so that's why she was brought to the Panchgani orphanage." Anjali interrupted him "When u guys knew that her family is alive then why u didn't brought her back...she could have lived with as...she would never be alone." She spoke with tears. For the first time Atul saw feelings in her eyes...maybe pain for Shilpa or that she didn't found her before and then Atul spoke" We found out that 2 years ago. Shilpa wanted to meet u guys...ask u guys why u all left her alone but then the incident happened and everything changed...she changed. Shilpa came here to meet u all...she wanted to tell u about herself but never get the courage for it...and when she met u all she began to love u all...she missed her family and now she need her father and sister's." Riddhima broke in thousand pieces...with thought that she hurt her so many times but she never said anything to her. Her heart felt soheavy with pain...she remembered the last day before the accident
Flashback
"Riddhi di...Riddhi di" the small five years old Shilpa called Riddhima came running to Riddhima. "Shilpa how many times I have said that my name is Riddhima and not Riddhi then why do u call me always Riddhi di" She made a funny face and turned her back to her and on that Shilpa giggled. "Riddhi di I love u" and Shilpa hugged her from behind. Riddhima turned around and said "Okay u can call me Riddhi di but just u...Okay" "Okay Riddhi di...u will be always with me right? The innocent Shilpa asked her. "Right and I will never leave u." "Promise di" "Ha promise my cute little sister". Riddhima hugged her.
Flashback ends
This was the last time that they both spend time with each other before the accident happened. A tear escaped her eyes. Sid knew she was already feeling very guilty but now she shattered completely and he can't do anything for her. Sid went to Riddhima and hugged her tight. Anjali didn't know how to react...should she be happy that she found her lost sister or should she feel bad that the truth came out in such a way. On the other side Shashank was just thinking about Shilpa and he wanted to meet her right now. So he rushed out of the room and went straight to Shilpa's room...He was angry on her that she didn't told him anything. Anjali and Riddhima went also there but Sid and Atul went to the canteen...they wanted to give them time. Abhi and Nikki wanted to talk to Atul so they went also there. Arjun went with Dr. Keerti to her cabin...he wanted to talk to her about Shilpa. But Armaan was still under shock. He was thinking about the first meeting with Shilpa. He always felt something similar with Shilpa and Riddhima...he knew something connected them but he never imagined that they both would be sisters. Armaan was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that he walked in the locker room. He wanted to think about something different then about Shilpa...he opened his locker to take a file. Armaan needed to concentrate on his duty but luck was not with him because when he took the file out of the locker something fell out of the locker on the floor. Armaan bent down and took it in his hand...it was a bracelet...not just a ordinary bracelet...it was his Shona's. She lost it at the first meeting. A smile came on his lips...Shilpa was the only one after Riddhima for which he felt something more than friendship. He was gazing her bracelet like it was the only possession for him.
In the same time Shashank entered Shilpa's room followed by Riddhima and Anjali. Shilpa saw them and knew something is wrong with them and asked "What happen Dr. Shashank...is everything okay?" but he didn't answer her and walked near her. She could see that he cried not even he but also Anjali and Riddhima. Before she could say something, Shashank hugged her. For this moment she waited soo long...tears formed in her eyes...she wanted to hug him back but she was scared that she would lose. With a heavy voice she spoke again "Dr. Shashank...what...what happen..." "Dad call me dad just once call me Papa please." He begged her. Her eyes widen in shock "Papa" a low whisper escaped her mouth. Shilpa broke the hug and looked at him in his eyes...she could see guilt in them. "How do u find out that I'm..." "Arjun and Atul told us" Anjali spoke. Anjali spoke again "Why didn't u tell us?" with that Shilpa got up and went to Anjali and hugged her tight. "I'm sorry di...I wanted to but never got the courage...and I was scared if u guys would not believe me and..." "So u don't have trust in us...don't u trust ur own Papa?" he spoke with hurt in his voice "No Papa I trust u but I don't trust my fate...it always betrayed me." "But now we are with u...I will tell everyone that u r my daughter." Fear came up in her...she knew she can't tell anyone about them...their life would be in danger. "No Papa...please not now...I want to have time for all that and right now the time is not right...Please don't let anyone know about me...Please." They all noticed that she was scared so the agreed for that.
Riddhima came up to her and without any delay She hugged her little sister "I am soo...soo sorry Shilpa...that I always hurted u soo much...please forgive me for that" "Please Riddhima di don't say that...I loved it when u scold me" they both smiled on that "Okay but u have to call me Riddhi di...u know u called me this when u very young...so will u call me that" She nodded a yes and they all hugged each other again.
Dr. Keerti's cabin
"Arjun so u can take Shilpa with u home today...but tell me where is Arohi? Why didn't she come with u?" Arjun looked down and spoke "Actually she is angry on me and don't want to talk to me." " But why...what did u do?" Before he could answer the door opened and a beautiful lady in a simple blue salwar suit walked in. She has black long hair and beautiful expressive dark brown eyes. She has lips like rose petals.
Arjun was lost in her...he was admiring her beauty but soon he came back to earth when she spoke in anger "Arjun forgot our wedding anniversary" she glared at him. Then Arohi looked at Keerti "Hi Dr. Keerti...I don't know why I had to marry a police officer...he is always busy in work and have never time for me...ufff." She turned around and her back was facing them. Arohi was about to speak but Arjun came behind her...he could feel his hot breath on her neck. Slowly he toke something out of his pocket...he held her hand and turned her and now she looked directly in his eyes. Arjun bend down on his knees and took the box and opened it. In the box was a ring...a very beautiful silver ring with a diamante. "Jaan I knew I forgot our anniversary but trust me I never wanted to hurt u and I love u jaan...please don't be angry. I can't bear ur anger." He made a baby face and she melt. Arjun put the ring in her finger and she hugged him tight "I love u Arjun." They looked at Keerti and she was gave them a lovely smile. Arohi to Keerti "Dr. Keerti can we take Shilpa with us." "Sure Dr. Arohi u can but take care of her." So they walked out of the cabin.
In the locker room
Armaan was still there and was thinking about the past. How he met Riddhima...how he fell in love with her...how they separated and her wedding with Sid but today he has no problem with it. She wanted to stay with her husband and he accepted...he was never angry on her...he was angry on his fate but then Shilpa came and changed everything. She changed Armaan...his thinking about himself. Whenever he needed someone she was there for him and now she need him and he will be there for her. He looked at her bracelet and smiled. Armaan was not sure what he is feeling for her 'Is it more than friendship or am I thinking so much about her. But why felt I so angry when she hugged that Arjun'. He was again furious. The thought of hugging another guy made him angry but he controlled himself. He again looked at her bracelet and his anger melt of the thought of her smile...he was also smiling. Riddhima walked in and saw him smiling. "Armaan u here...what are u doing and who's bracelet is that?" She asked him. "Oh this...this is Shilpas...okay Basket I have to go bye." He left before she can ask him anything else. She knew something is fishy. 'Why has Armaan Shilpa's bracelet and why was he looking at it and smiling? Is he felling for her...OMG. I have to talk to the gang tomorrow. Maybe the know anything.' She rushed out of the room.
Atul's home
Shilpa was alone at home. Atul was still in Sanjeevni and Arohi and Arjun went out. She was thinking about today...what happened and how she found her family back but she knew she can't let them tell anyone...their life will be in danger. A tear escaped her eye. She wiped her face and went to her bedroom but before that the doorbell rang. She thought was Atul so she opened the door. "Tum" Her eyes widen with fear...she began to shiver. It was like she was living a nightmare. Then the men on the door spoke. "Hi Jaan did u miss Me?" he began to laugh like a mad man. "Viraj"
