UPDATE 8
After changing I came out and went straight towards my floor bed and sat on it. I was about to lie down when I heard him "can we be friends".
I smiled at him or rather at his luck few hours ago I had decided not to make new friends till I settle down in my new life and return back to my friend's rahul and msukaan. That reminds me now that I know I can't settle in my new life I can't go back to them as well. More than me they'll be hurt and I can't see them hurt because of me. Guess God has snatched away my best friends too.
"Agar apne kuch ghantey pehle bola hota toh shayad hum friends ban sakte the but ab miene friends banane chod diya hain"
"kya matlab kuch ghatne pehle" armaan asked after hearing me.
I smiled and said "kuch nahiin aap nahiin samjhenge"
"agar tum meri dost nahiin banna chahti toh tum mujhe help kyun kar rahi ho meri lover se milwane main"
"dosti se bada rishta insaaniyat ka hota hai or insaaniyat ke naate mujhe apko apki lover se milwana hai bas uske baad I promiss apki life se boht door chali jaongi anjane main bhi apke samne nahiin aaongi"
I looked at armaan and saw him lost in his own thoughts may be his thinking whether to continue the talk or not hope he chooses the later. After few minutes I saw him opening his mouth for speaking something.
"vaise mien yahan nahiin rehta actually mien kaam ki vajay se delhi ke bahar yani NCR main rehta hoon or kal hum ussi flat main shift ho jayenge vahan two rooms hai aap unme se ek main reh li jiyega".
I smiled hearing this thankfully I wouldn't have to act like a perfect daughter in law or wife, atleast I would have my own space. I quickly mumbled a goodnight to armaan and lied down and closed my eyes. I felt the light being closed and then tears flowed from my eyes. After sometime I stood up and walked towards the attached balcony and slowly opened the door making sure no noise happens.
I looked towards the sky and said "mamma aaj apki kami boht mehsoos ho rahi hai aaj mien boht akeli hoon. Aaj se pehle kabhi mujhe kissi ki zaroorat mehsoos nahiin hui per today I wish I had a shoulder to cry on, someone assuring me ki sab theek ho jayega. Per mamma aap fikar mat karna apki beti boht strong hai koi ho ya nahiin ho mien khud ko sambhal loongi or hain aap bhagwaan ji se kuch mat kehna jis din mien unke paas jaongi na toh uss din poochoongi unse ki vo har baar mujhe dukh kyun dete hain. ek or baat aap papa se bhi naraz mat hona vo apse boht pyaar karte hain. acha mom ab aap so jaiye mien theek hoon"
After talking to mom I sat there for few more minutes thinking of how to face this new hurdle. I then mumbled to myself "riddhima tu boht strong hai or tu akeli nahiin hai jiski life main problems hai or bhi boht log hai jinki life main problem hongi atleast bhagwaan ne tujhe ek acha ghar, environment diya hai rehne ko kuch logo ko toh vo bhi nahiin milta toh mien toh khush naseeb hoon or mien itne dukh se nahiin darnewaali mien saamna karoongi or six months ke baad nayee zindagi shuru karoongi"
I kept staring towards the sky and let my tears flow from my eyes. When I felt its going to be morning I went back to the room and slept.
After few hours I woke up and saw armaan was still sleeping. I didn't know what to do should I use the washroom what if he gets up and wants to get ready I toh don't even know his routine what if I might delay his routine. Should I wake him up? I guess mien jaldi se jaake fresh up ho jati hoon.
I tried my level best to be out as quick as possible and when I came out I saw armaan was sitting on his bed. So he was awake I hope I haven't disturbed his routine per mien toh fifteen minutes main bahar aagayi ek kaam karti hoon sorry bol deti hoon.
"uumm armaan I am sorry vo aap so rahe the toh miene socha mien jaldi se tyaar hokar aa jati hoon per I guess miene thoda time le liya vo I hope apka routine disturb nahiin hua kal se mien or jaldi uth jaya karoongi taki apko problem na ho" I said everything in one breath.
I found armaan staring at me so I looked down and waited for him to say something.
"its ok aap baar baar sorry mat boliye mien waise bhi roz iss time pe so raha hota hoon mien half an hour ke baad uthta hoon toh aap iss time pe ready ho sakti hain"
I smiled and walked outside the room as I didn't wanted to be in an awkward position. After coming out I recalled that yesterday night armaan had said that today we'll be leaving this house and go to another house but at what time I forgot to ask him. anyways he'll himself inform me when we have to leave.
I walked downstairs towards the kitchen to make some coffee as I was having a headache as I had slept late at night.
I was about to enter the kitchen when I heard ananya aunty "riddhima beta tum uth gayi". I turned towards her and smiled. "beta aaj tumhari kitchen pooja hai or uske baad mooh dikhai ki rasam and after that you will be leaving with armaan hope he has told you".
I smiled and nodded my head in agreement even though armaan hadn't told me about thse functions but still I couldn't let ananya aunty know about it.
I prepared the food as per ananya aunty's list and also made kheer for everyone. At time of breakfast everyone came and ate the food made by me. Everyone liked the dishes that I had prepared and that brought a genuine smile on my face but my happiness is never meant to remain for long.
When armaan praised the smile on my face vanished as reality struck me after that I just faked a smile and also throughout the entire function of mooh dikhai I was just acting that I am happy and smiling for the sake of showing people.
No one talked about the pag phere ki rasam which meant papa must have told them that he didn't want to come and pick me up.
May be ananya aunty had seen me thinking because she said "vo shashank bhaisaab called and said he had to leave for some urgent meeting outside the city so the pag phere ki rasam would be done later.
I just nodded my head because I know there is no meeting it's just an excuse because everytime he used to say this only whenever I had a parent teacher meeting or annual day or sports day. His excuse of not attending any function was meeting only whereas he would be very much present in the house. I sighed and plastered a fake smile again on my face.
Happy Bday to our very own KSG❤️🥳
