PART 42
Aparna gave the engagement ring to Vivek, Smilingly he took it and looked at Riddhima...Anjali gave the ring to Riddhima, Riddhima didn't take it... her hands never raised to take the ring...
'Riddhima beta, Ring lo..' Shashank spoke... Riddhima seemed to not hear her dad...
'Rukh jaeye...' A voice echoed in the hall, Everybody present there looked confused hearing the voice, but Riddhima heaved a sigh of relief hearing the voice, Her face glowed hearing him, relieving Riddhima of all her tensions... Every one looked at the entrace. There stood Armaan, Armaan glanced at them all and looked at Riddhima, Riddhima smiled seeing him warmly, Armaan smiled at her back and nodded his head once, assuring her that he was with her... The Gupta's looked suprised at Armaan and the Oberiors seemed shocked watching Armaan, Rahul and Muskaan smiled at him while the rest of the interns were confused...
'Dr. Armaan ??..' Shashank spoke belivered while Armaan walked towards Shashank and stood infront of him... Shashank looked confused
'Shashank yeh kaun hai?..' Anurag asked looking at the stranger before him.
'Anurag, Yeh Dr.Armaan hai, Sanjeevani ka intern aur Riddhima aur Anjali ki batch mate..' Shashank spoke normally while Anurag and Aparna smiled at Armaan..
'Acha, Chalo fir, Riddhima aur Anjali ki saare friends bhi agaye, Hum log ring ceremony shuru karte hai...' Anurag spoke while the rest smiled.
Armaan cut short him sooner. 'Sir, mujhe aapse kuch zarrori baat karni hai...' Armaan spoke looking at Shashank... Shashank looked suprised.
'Dr. Armaan, Hum baad main baat karenge... filhai engagement zarroori hai..' Shashank spoke autoritively... 'No, Sir, its more important..' Armaan spoke looking at him...
'Armaan, pehele...' padma spoke but 'Aunty please..' Armaan cut her off... Shashank and padma looked at each other in an understanding manner and looked at Armaan. Armaan turned around and looked at Riddhima who blinked her eyes nervously asking him to say them the truth..
'Kahiye Dr. Armaan, ayesi kya baat karni hai aap ko??..'Shashank spoke.. looking at him
Armaan fisted his hands together as if to gain a little confidence, Riddhima looked all the more serious and nervous.. Armaan prepared himself and without any more interuptions he spoke..
'Sir, Main... sir main aur Riddhima ek dusre se bahoth pyaar karte hai...' Armaan declared loudly... Looking straight into Shashank's eyes. He declared about his love in front of everyone. Riddhima bent her head down and closed her eyes, scared at her father's reaction. They didn't know how the family might reach. They had no idea how the world will understand them, They just knew one thing, and that was today was the day they finally had to confess about their love in front of all, before its too late to turn back. Shashank and Padma stared at them, in disbelief while the Oberior's looked too shooked at Armaan's declaration.
'Dr, Armaan...Yeh aap ...' Shashank blasted more, heating the temperature.Shashank seemed to get angry. Armaan looked at him and looked down..
'Sir, main sach keh raha hu... Main aur Ridd..' 'Just stop it Dr.Armaan..' Shashank cut Armaan off while talking... Armaan looked shocked at them. 'Armaan, yeh tum kya keh rahe ho ?..' Padma spoke a little hurt.
'Shashank, yeh ladka kaun hai, aur yeh Riddhima se pyaar ? yeh kya horaha hai,??..' Anurag seemed to boil with anger, Anurag walked ahead and stood between Armaan and Shashank.
'Anurag, please ek minute rukko, main baat karta hu...' He spoke to Anurag and looked at Armaan.. 'Dr. Armaan, yeh sab kya horaha hai, Aaapko idea bhi hai ki aap kya keh rahe ho ?..' Shashank spoke sternly...
'Sir, main janta hu main kya bol raha hu, Main Riddhima se pyaar karta hu..' Armaan spoke while he looked at Riddhima. Riddhima looked at Armaan scared and looked down again.
'Oh ..shut up Dr. Armaan, Aaaj Riddhima ki sagaai hai aur aap yaha tamasha kar rahe ho ??..' Shashank spoke angrily...
'Sir, i know main galat waqt main yeh sab keh raha hu... lekin..main jo bhi keh raha hu woh sab sach hai... Riddhima aur main sach main ek dusre she bahoth pyaar karte hai..' Armaan tried to make Shashank understand... Shashank seemed to get angry with every passing second. Riddhima's cheeks started wattering watching the two most important people in her fighting in front of her...
'Enought Dr. Armaan, Jush shut up,.' Shashank spoke pointing his finger's at Armaan angrily.. 'Sir, aap samaj kyu nahi rahe hai, Riddhima Vivek ke saath kabhi khush nahi rahegi, Wo mujhse pyaar karti hai.. Aaap Riddhima she puch sakte hai..' Armaan spoke and looked up at Riddhima asking Riddhima to speak up now.. But Riddhima seemed to be in a dilemma, Riddhima was trembling with fear.
She just stood rooted to the ground. Armaan looked at Riddhima and finding no response from her, he felt a little low...
'Riddhima, Armaan jo bhi keh raha hai, kya wo sach hai ?..' Shashank spoke loudly at Riddhima.
Hearing Shashank shout at Riddhima, Riddhima seemed shocked and very scared to utter a word, She bent her head, tears flowing throught her eyes, She wanted to tell them all the truth but she kept quite... Armaan ran his free hand on his hairs, frustrated and dejected a little.
'Dekha Dr.Armaan, Riddhima aap se pyaar nahi karti hai...' 'Sir..' Armaan looked sadly at Riddhima, Riddima's heart wrenched in pain watching him, She didn't know how to tell the truth...
'Dr. Armaan, Main Riddhima ka pita hu, main janta hu Riddhima kisse pasand karti hai, Aur Riddhima ne khud Vivek se shaadi karne ka faisla liya hai, Vivek acha ladka hai, wo Riddhima ko bahooth khush rakhega...' Shashank cut Armaan off and spoke rudely.
'Sir, Aaap samaj nahi rahe hai, Riddhima Vivek se nahi wo mujhse pyaar karti hai..' Armaan spoke gently reasoning them. 'Dr. Armaan, Bas, bahoth keh chuke aap, Bahooth badnaam karchuke hai aap... Please jaeye yaha se...' Shashank shouted angrily...
'Sir, i am sorry, but..' but armaan was cut short by shashank. 'Dr.Armaan leave, Riddhima aapki dost hai, bas, aur kuch nahi, Aaap yaha tamasah band kijiye aur Please yaha se chale jaeye...' he ordered roughly.
'Sir, Please..' Armaan tried one last time... 'Riddhima aap se pyaar nahi karti hai... Woh yeh sagaai apne marzi se kar rahi hai...Riddhima is sagaai se khush hai... Look, Dr. Armaan, aap bhul rahe hai ki aap mere ghar par khade hai...Iss se pehle mai kuch galat karu, aap yaha se chale jaeye...' Shashank shouted on Armaan...
Armaan, unable to answer, looks at riddhima who was crying while she kept looking down, he turned with heavy heart making his way to door, not able to argue more. What was the point to argue when Riddhima couldn't open up infront of her family, Armaan felt bad and not knowing what to do, he started walking towards the exit.. Riddhima looked at Armaan's retreating back and she was big time confused, one side it was her family, her family's reputation and her father's immense love towards Riddhima, while in the other side it was Armaan, who loved her so much, who could never let a tear roll from her eyes, Armaan was Riddhima's love, her life, her everything... Riddhima couldn't watch Armaan go like that... Forgetting everyone around, and not caring about any one, Riddhima whispered a small " Armaan" and ran towards Armaan and hugged Armaan from behind.
Armaan was taken aback, but he smiled while his eyes welled up realising that it was Riddhima, Riddhima hugged him tighter, her sobs never letting go of her... Armaan's cheeks started watering too... He turned around and hugged Riddhima tight, Feeling his arms around Riddhima, Riddhima felt secure and safe... Armaan was relieved at Riddhima's action and hugged her..
The Families around looked at them shocked and bumbfolded with Riddhima's action, They looked a way too shocked and belivered with the turn of events... Rahul and Muskaan smiled looking at them, They had tears of joy in their eyes watching the couple... Anjali seemed suprised too but she smiled watching Riddhima taking a drastic step for Armaan... Padma smiled warmly watching Armaan and Riddhima, she seemed to cry too watching them.. Shashank was utterly shocked. The oberior's looked very angry and insulted.. Vivek stood there, staring at them in utter shock, while the interns were shocked at first but soon they all smiled looking at Armaan and Riddhima and smiled at each other...!!
'Armaan, tum mujhe yaha chod ke kaise jasakte ho..' Riddhima spoke looking at him, pleading him to not leave her. Armaan wiped her tears away from
his fingers and shook his head, saying her he could never do that. Riddhima wiped Armaan's tears from her hands...Armaan and Riddhima smiled at each other, Promising eachother that they can never leave the other...
'Riddhima..' He shouted angrily..
Riddhima and Armaan broke apart hearing Shashank. Saying so Shashank walked towards them, Riddhima and Armaan looked at each other and at Shashank,... Shashank walked towards them..., Holding Riddhima by her wrist, he pulled Riddhima away from Armaan.. Armaan looked at Shashank confused, while Riddhima struggled to get off her hand from Shashank's grip...
'Papa, please chodiye mujhe...' She begged... when Shashank left her in anguish and looked at her angrily. Riddhima looked at him with tear full eyes...
'Riddhima tum hosh main toh ho, Yeh kya bakwaas kar rahi ho...' He shouted.
'Papa... main Armaan se... pyar karti hu...' Riddhima spoke softly... Armaan smiled a little hearing Riddhima declare her love...
'Riddhima... bas... ab ek shabd aur nahi...' He said angrily, Padma walked in and held Shashank over his shoulder asking him to calm down, Padma walked towards Riddhima and help her hand... 'Riddhima, ??..' She spoke softly
'Mom..' Riddhima spoke and hugged her mother, crying out... Padma patted her back to calm her...
'Mom... main Armaan se bahooth pyaar karti hu...' Riddhima spoke crying and hugging her...'Shh.. beta... shanth hojaoo...' She said and came out of the hug,
'Mom... hum sach main ek dusre se bahoth pyaar karte hai...Mom.. Armaan mujhse bahooth pyar karta hai... wo mujhe hamesha khush rakhega...' Riddhima said while crying...
'Riddhima.. shh... beta, tumne hamein aaj tak yeh sach kyu nahi bataya... ?..' Padma asked like a caring mother to Riddhima softly..
'Mom... I am sorry... sab meri galati hai... Yeh sab meri wajah se hua hai... Maine galat decision le liya... Mom...' Riddhima sobbed. Armaan walked towards Riddhima and held her trough her shoulder, supporting her...
'Galat decision??..' Vivek was silent till now but he looked sad and hurt... He walked towards Riddhima and spoke...
'Vivek...' Armaan spoke while Vivek showed his finger asking him to stop.
'Bolo Riddhima, mujhse shaadi karne ka faisla... kya woh galati thi ?? Tum soch bhi kaise sakti ho ?? Riddhima tumne mere feelings ke saath khilwaad kiya hai... ??..' Vivek kept speaking at Riddhima, He grabbed Riddhima's shoulder and shook her hard, asking answers to all his questions.. Riddhima kept crying in his grip... Armaan couldn't stop himself watching Vivek hurting Riddhima, How could any one shout at Riddhima when he was there with her, He could never tolerate a word against Riddhima...
'Vivek.. Riddhima ke baare main main ek aur shabd nahi sununga..' Armaan blasted angrily and pulled Riddhima behind him, getting her off Vivek's grip... Armaan pushed Vivek backwards...
The interns smiled at Armaan, Padma looked relieved hearing Armaan stand up against Vivek, just for Riddhima's sake, even when it was partly Riddhima's fault... Everyone there, kept staring at them...!
'Aunty, Main Riddhima se bahoth pyaar karta hu, Sache dil se pyaar karta hu... Yeh sagaai rok dijiye...Please,... Main wada karta hu, Riddhima ko hamesha khush rakhunga..' Armaan spoke while Padma heard him silently... Vivek waled away...!
'Shashank kya tumne hamein yaha, badmaan karne ke liye bulaya??..' Anurag blasted when he noticed Vivek walking out of the house, hurt... 'Nahi Anurag... ayesi koi baat nahi hai..' Shashank spoke
'I am sorry uncle lekin agar Riddhima ne yeh shaadi nahi kiya toh main bhi Anjali she shaadi nahi karunga..' Vikas declared, This news shocked the entire family... Vikas's love towards her Brother was more than any relationship for him...
'Vikas yeh tum??..' anjili said. 'I am sorry Anjali lekin main us ghar se rishta nahi jod sakta, jis ghar main meri bhai ko sirf dukh mila hai...' Vikas spoke looking away. Anjali started crying hearing him break their marriage...
'Yeh nahi hosakta...Vikas beta tum Anjali she shaadi kar lo.. aur Riddhima Vivek se sagaai zarro karegi...' He was against Riddhima's and Armaan's relationship, he couldn't let his another daughter suffer because of Riddhima's decision...
'Dr. Armaan please chale jaeye yaha se, Riddhima and Vivek ki sagaai aaj hokar rahegi... aur Riddhima wohi karegi jo uske pita kahenge...Riddhima, tumhe yeh sagaai kari hogi...' Shashank ordered Riddhima. Riddhima looked belivered at Shashank.
'Papa... yeh aap... ??..' Riddhima whispered shocked..
'Sahi keh raha hu Riddhima, main janta hu tum kiske saath khush rahogi, Aur beta Vivek bahooth acha ladka hai... Wo tumhe khush rakhega...' shashank said.
'Papa, Vivek acha ladka hai, main manti hu.. aur Vivek mujhe khush bhi rakhsakta hai, par papa woh mujhe Armaan ki tarah kabhi pyaar nahi kar payega... papa main Armaan se pyaar karti hu, Armaan ke bagar ek din bhi main nahi reh sakti... Aur papa... Armaan bhi mujhe bahooth pyar karta hai...' Riddhima spoke gently to her dad, making him understand his point of view...
'Riddhima, bas maine kehdiya na.. so keh diya.. Tum Vivek se sagaai karogi aur woh bhi aaaj, abhi isi waqt...' Shashank spoke authoritively at Riddhima. Riddhima was bumbfolded watching her father. Armaan looked shocked watching Shashank, who was not caring about Riddhima's happiness...
'Nahi.. main yeh sagaai nahi karungi...Armaan ke siwa main kisi se shaadi nahi karungi..' Riddhima spoke against her father angrily... looking straight at him...
'Riddhima.. Tumhe yeh sagaai karni padegi...' He ordered
'Mar jaongi lekin yeh sagaai nahi karungi...' riddhima shouted.
'Riddhima, dekho beta, tum samaj nahi rahi ho ki tumhare liye kya sahi hai aur kya galat hai... Aur beta es sab main Anjali ki kya kassoor hai, Riddhima beta aaj tumhare es faisle main sirf tumhara hi nahi Anjali ki bhavishya bhi judi hai...' Shashank spoke calming himself and talking.
'Nahi papa... aap samaj nahi rahe hai.. Papa main Armaan she bahoth pyaar karti hu...' Riddhima reasoned.
'Bas, Tab se Armaan Armaan ki raath lagayi bethi ho ? Riddhima tumhe mera kehna manna padega..' He shouted.
'Main Armaan she pyaar karti thi, hu aur hamesha karti rahungi..' Riddhima shouted back..
'Shashank chup ho ja... Armaan bhi acha ladka hai...' Nani hopped in supporting Armaan and Riddhima.
'ma aap bhi, Ma is ladki ko zara sa bhi meri izzat ki parwah nahi hai kya?? Aur Anjali kyu bhugate ??..' He spoke to his mother looking at Riddhima.
'dad, main Riddhima ke saath hu...' Anjali said wping away her tears...!
'Anjali yeh tum ?..' padma said but 'Sahi keh rahu hu ma, main Vikas se shaadi ab nahi karungi... Jo insaan bina kuch soch samjhe rishta tod de... Us insaan se mera koi lena dena nahi hai...' Anjali spoke looking at Vikas. Vikas felt unconfortable.
'Nani, Pyaar sirf ek baar hi hota hai, aur Ridzy Armaan se bahoth pyaar karti hai.. maine Riddhima ko Armaan ke bina tadapte hue dekha hai... Aur main
Riddhima ki khushi ke liye kuch bhi karungi...' Anjali spoke crying at her own loss...
'Shashank, Riddhima aur Armaan ek dusre se pyaar karte hai, Hamein Riddhima ki khushi dekhni chahiye...' nani spoke.
'Nahi main Riddhima Vivek ke saath ho khush rahegi ? aur Anjali ka kya ma ??...' shashank reasoned.
'Papa...' riddhima said. 'Nahi Riddhima, agar tum apne papa se pyar karti ho toh yeh sagaai tum karogi Tumhe Anjali ke liye yeh sagaai karni padegi..' Shashank stated he was adamed with his decison.
'Shashank Tum Riddhima aur Armaan ko kyu nahi apna rahe ho ??..' nani asked.
'Aap sab Riddhima ko support kar rahe ho ?? Lekin main sahi faisla kar raha hu, Riddhima Vivek ke saath hi sagaai bhi karegi aur shaadi bhi..' Shashank spoke avoiding everyone's pleads...
'Toh, thik hai papa, main bhi aapse yeh keh deti hu ki main shaadi karungi toh wo sirf Armaan ke saath...' Riddhima spoke and held Armaan's arms, showing everyone that she beloged to him and only him. Riddhima and Armaan looked at eachother. Expressing theri love for each other... This surelt was another test for their relationship and this time they would do it together, They would stay united and fight all odds...
'Thik hai, Aaaj tumhe is ghar ki izzat aur apne papa dono ko chot pahunchaya hai... Aur aaj tumhe mere ya Armaan, hum dono main se kisi ek ko chunna hoga... Agar tum apne papa ko chunti ho toh tumhe Armaan ko hamesha ke liye bhulana hoga aur yeh sagaai karni hogi... Riddhima main ek beti ke liye dusri beti ki shaadi dav pe nahi laga sakta...Aur agar tum Armaan ko chunogi... Toh tumhara is ghar se koi rishta nahi hoga..' Shashank spoke shouting asking Riddhima to choose any one of them...
'Sir.. yeh aap kya keh rahe hai ??..' Armaan asked shoceked. 'Sahi keh raha hu Dr. Armaan, aaj apki wajah se meri beti mujhse dur hogayi.. Aaaj apki wajah se is ghar ki izzat badnaam hogayi.. Aaaj apne ek pita aur beti ko alag kar diya...'
'Sir.. aap samaj ne ki..'
'Nahi Dr. Armaan, main bahoth kuch samaj bhi liya hai aur dekh bi liya hai...'
Hearing Shashank to choose any one, Riddhima started cring heavily, She loved both of them dearly, and loosing any one of them wasn't a right choice.. Riddhima sat on the swing behind her, holding it and crying, Riddhima was very much confused...!! She loved her dad and her family, and she could never even think of leaving them, They had loved her, adored her and pampered her so much... Riddhima could also not live without Armaan, She could never stop loving him,.. Anjali walked down and sat beside Riddhima and hugged Riddhima...
'Riddhima, agar tum Armaan se sach main pyar kari ho toh tum aaj Armaan ko hi chunogi...' Anjali spoke shocking the rest of the family memebers...' Riddhima looked up at Anjali who smiled and nodded her head...
'par di.. main apke rishte ko...'
'Riddhima, please apni dil ki sunno..' Anjali spoke supporting Riddhima... Ridhima looked up at Anjali who smiled and reassured Riddhima. Wiping her tears.. Riddhima walked towards Armaan, she held his arm.
'papa.. main aapse bahoth pyar karti hu.. lekin main Armaan ke bina jee nahi sakti.. aur aaj na chahte hue bhi main aap ko nahi.. Armaan ko chunti ho...' Riddhima announced... shocking everyone...
