Part 18
Riddhima felt trapped now! Hiding things from Armaan; keeping an eye on whatever Rahul said and did and now an addition to the list;
hiding her pain from Armaan AND Ananya !
She sat at the window thinking about all that had happened in the morning. Rahul had like taken an oath of spoiling things between Armaan and her. She remembered last night when they had spent such beautiful moments!
She just wanted some good memories with Armaan to carry along with her as she would leave him. But Rahul seemed to be a big obstacle here. As she remembered what trick Rahul had played in the morning she felt that the truth would be almost out!
Flashback;
Morning; 10 am
Everybody was at the breakfast table; when Anjali entered the house.
R: Diii...aap itni subah subah. Kaisi ho aap?
Anj: Main bilkul theek hu; tu bata!
R: I am fine too!
Anj: Hey Armaan...hello aunty!
Umm...
she saw Rahul quizzically as she hadn't met him before.
A: Ye Rahul hai; mera dost; and my collegue.
Aur Rahul te Anjali hai; Riddhima...
R: Ki behen...I know...
Riddhima told me about you!
Hello ANjali; I must say you are beautiful...just like Jerry!
Anj: Acha toh tum hi vo Spike ho!
Nice meeting you Rahul.
An: Aao na beta baitho; humare saath naashta kar lo.
A: Good to see you Anjali; Atul nahi aaya?
Anj: Nahi actually; main yaha paas main jo Memorial hospital hai vohi aayi thi Atul ke reports collect karne toh socha tum logon se milti chalu!
A: Kaise reports? Atul ko kya hua?
R: Haan di...Jeeju theek toh hai na?
Anj: Arey haan vo bilkul theek hai; bas use thoda bukhar than a toh safer side humne tests karva liye.
You know na these days kitna kuch hota rehta hai!
R: Hmm...acha hua tests karva liye.
A: Hmm...chalo a baa gayi ho toh naashta karke hi jaana. Kya hai main bhi abhi office ke liye nikal hi raha hut oh jaate jaate tumhe drop kar dunga!
Rahul who was silently watching everything spoke of all of a sudden!
Ra: Hospital se acha yaad aaya;
Jerry...tumhe maine us din dekha; tum Holy care hospital main kya kar rahi thi?
Now that grabbed everyone's attention. Specially Armaan's!
Riddhima's eyes almost popped out at Rahul's question!
R: Main...kab...
Rahul ye tum...
Ra: Haan...parso maine dekha tha tumhe!
Actually I had been there to collect some stuff; vo paas main jo gift shop hai na vaha se; tabhi maine dekha tumhe.
A: Hospital...
Tum hospital main kya kar rahi thi Riddhima?
Riddhima looked daggers at Rahul.
How smartly had he played his cards; keeping his promise he had still managed to bring her in trouble!
Though he hadn't spilled the beans but had created a situation where she was left tongue tied.
He winked at her; smirking at his tiny plan!
Anj: Arey Ridz...kya hua? Bol na...sab theek toh hai na?
Riddhima was thinking of what to say when she saw her cellphone beep; which displayed a message from SONIA! That was it; she sighed and replied;
R: Haan...Nahi di.
Vo kya hua na us din mujhe Sonia mil gayi thi...
Anj: Kaun...Sonia Vardhan??
R: Haan; vohi di! Main market gayi thi na toh tabhi I met her!
A: Par that hospital is too far from here; vaha kaunse market gayi thi tum?
R: Huh? Umm...nahi...
Vo mili toh mujhe Star market main hi thi; par use vaha hospital main kaam tha...
Ra: Ohh toh tumhari dost nurse hai?
Anj: Nahi Rahul...vo toh achi khasi photographer hai;
vo hospital kyu jaana chahti thi Ridz; use vaha kya kaam?
Acha...blood donate karne gayi hogi...vo har saal jaati hai na. Yaad hai hum college main thi tab bhi without fail blood donation ke liye jaati thi!
R: Haan...di bilkul!
Blood donation karna tha...isi liye vaha gayi thi main uske saath!
A: Ohh...that's good; par tumne toh blood donate nahi kiya na?
R: Nahi toh...
kyun Armaan?
A: Nahi...tumhari body main khud ke liye sufficient blood toh hai nahi; dusron ke liye kaha donate karogi!
He chuckled at her making everyone at the table laugh except for Rahul!
He was giving her opportunities to spill the truth; but she was taking her lie one step further; every time!
Flashback over
She re-read the message that Rahul had sent then;
Main tumhe aise hi mauke deta rahunga Riddhima. Jitni jaldi ho sake Armaan ko sach bata do; varna tum khud apne liye bohot musibate khadi kar dogi!
She was too engrossed in that message when Ananya entered the room.
It was almost 5 pm and Ananya had just finished reading her book; so she thought of having some mother-daughter talk time!
An: Busy toh nahi ho na beta; kuch der baat kar sakti ho?
R: Arey mummy; aaiye na. Baithiye; main kyun busy hone lagi?
Boliye; kaisi hai aap aur uncle...umm...I meant Papa kaise hai?
An: Hmm hum dono toh bilkul theek hai! Tu bata; tum dono kaise ho?
Aur Ammy jyaada tang toh nahi karta na tujhe?
Jyaada ghussa toh nahi hota na?
R: Nahi mummy; vo bohot ache se khayal rakhte hai mera. Shayad aapki aur Dad ki daant se dar gaye vo.
She giggled making Ananya smile too. She caressed her head and kissed her forehead lovingly.
An: Hmm...dar ka toh pata nahi; par haan tera khayal rakhna jarur sikh gaya hai.
Bohot baatein karta hai teri; phone pe bhi humesha teri hi shikayat karta tha; ki kis tarah tu uski baatein na maan kar; apna khayal na rakh ke use pareshaan karti hai!
R: Main?? Pareshaan toh vo karte hai mujhe!
Mujhe kuch karne hi nahi dete; meri choti se kharoch pe poora ghar sar pe utha lete hai.
An: Haan...vohi toh.
Use pehle kabhi aise nahi dekha maine beta.
Tu agar use mana kar bhi de tab bhi ghussa nahi hota vo; aur tujhe pata hai ye sirf tu hi kar payi hain!
R: Matlab?
An: Matlab...tere pati ko kisi ki naa sunne ki aadat nahi hai!
Vo jo kehta hai; jo chahta hai na; vo manvake hi rehta hai.
Vo khud toh jiddi hai; par kisi ki himmat nahi hoti uske saamne jid karne ki.
Par teri har jid maan leta hai vo.
Aur ye dekhkar main bohot khush hu beta.
Tere saath vo bohot khush hai!
Humesha ghusse se laal rehne wala mera beta; thoda pighal raha hai!
R: Ghussa toh vo ab bhi karte hi hai mummy; par haan pehle se shayad thoda kam.
Riddhima understood what Ananya was saying. She had too much hopes from Riddhima; she was happy seeing her son happy in his marriage.
But little did she know; that this happiness for not going to last longer!
Both mother and daughter kept talking to their heart's content.
On the other hand; Armaan; completely oblivious to everything happening around him these days; was going to get the first knock of truth!
He just finished a meeting with his client at the K-star hotel and was moving towards his car to go back home when he bumped into a girl.
Girl: Andhe ho kya...Dikhayi nahi deta...
Tum??
A: I am sorry Muskaan...vo mera dhyaan nahi tha! Tum theek toh ho?
Mu: It's okay...main toh bilkul theek hu; tum batao kaise ho; aur Riddhima; how's she doing?
A: Vo bhi bilkul theek hai. Par tum yaha kaise?
Mu: Shopping karne aayi thi; yaha paas wale mall main!
A: Akele?
Mu: Nahi nahi; sapna thi na mere saath; bas abhi taxi pakdi usne.
Par tum jara ye batao; tumhari biwi hai kaha aaj kal; use time hi nahi hai humse milne ka!
Kabhi kabhi use humse bhi milne ki permission de diya karo!
He smiled at her knowing perfectly that she was pulling his leg;
Ab kya karu; meri biwi hai hi itni khubsoorat; man hi nahi karta usko kahi dur bhejna ka!
Mu: Ooo... tareef shareef ho rahi hai biwi ki!
Hmm...kya baat hai?
A: Tum batao; what's going on with you? Vaise maine suna tumhe aaj kal poems ka bada shauk chada hai!
Tch...aur Rahul...aaj meeting ke liye nahi aa paya; varna usse bhi mulakat ho jaati!
Mu: Poems? Main?
Tu pagal ho gaya hai kya?
Aur kaun Rahul?
A: Arey bhul gayi...Rahul!
Abhi do din pehle hi toh mili thin a use...Riddhima se milne aayi thi tab!
Mu: Kya?
Oye tu pagal ho gaya hai Armaan;
Riddhima se toh main last tab mili thi jab tu apni business trip se lauta tha. Us baat ko 1 mahina ho gaya!
Aur tu kis Rahul ki baat kar raha hai?
A: Tu Rahul se nahi mili...par vo poems...
aur Riddhima ne...
Mu: Poems padne ka shauk toh main kabhi na paalu;
aur teri biwi ko time kaha hai mujhse milne ka?
Abhi do din pehle call kiya tha; tab toh madam ne kaha ki busy hai toh nahi aa paayegi!
Lagta hai tera kaam na kuch jyaada hi badh gaya hai aaj kal!
Thoda break le le Armaan...you need rest!
She chuckled at him; but Armaan on the other hand was thrilled to hear all that!
That meant Riddhima had lied to him!
He very well remembered her words;
"Maine aapse kal kaha toh tha na ki main thak gayi thi isi liye Mom Dad se milne nahi gayi. Actually vo muskaan se milne ke baad main thak gayi thi toh dawai kha kar so gayi; toh nahi gayi ghar."
Agar Riddhima Muskaan se mili hi nahi; toh fir usne mujhse jhut kyu bola?
