Arman was siting n reading some magazine wen Ridhima entered th rum..
Armaan : sogyi dono..
Ridhima : haann.. Aj kafi tired thi jda zid nahi ki..
Armaan : thats gud.. Ab tum bhi sojao kl bahut imp din hai..
Ridhima : tum sojao mujhe abhi nind nahi ayi..
ARMAAN : Ridh...
Before Armaan could say anything Ridhima went outside the rum...
Towards the terrace..
Armaan kept aside the magazine n went behind Ridhima..
Before going on terrace Armaan went n checked thier angels that they are sleeping peacefully..
##
On terrace..
Ridhima was sitting on floor her arms hugging her knees which were touching her chest.. N head buried on her knees..
Armaan was not able to control his tears seeing Ridhima in that condition he stood on the door.. He could not moved towards Ridhima.. His heart wanted to run n hug Ridhima bt his legs did not support his heart..
It took him a few min to compose himself.. N with small steps he moved towards Ridhima..
Armaan too sat n floor besides Ridhima..
By puting his one arm on her shoulder wispired
ARMAAN : Ridhima...
On realizing Armaans presence Ridhima huged Armaan n cried..
Armaan too couldnt stop his tears n hugged Ridhima back tightly..
Ridhima : Armaan kyu hua hmare sath aisa.. Kisi me bhi hme support kyu nahi kia.. Di jiju ne bhi hmse sare rishte tod die.. pihu ke lie aise vo log kaise bol sakte the.. Us nanhi si jaan ki koi glti nahi bhi thi.. Fir kyu Armaan..
ARMAAN : sshh.. Ridhima plz.. Aisa roo mt.. Tumhe main nahi dekh sakta aise.. Hmari ya pihu ki koi glti nahi thi... Ridhima tum aise apna promise nahi tod sakti... Purani baten yaad krke rona.. Ridhima 5 sal hochuke hai.. Hmne promise kia tha ek dusre se unbaton ko kabhi yaad nahi krenge..
Ridhima : aj di jiju ko apne smne dekhke kr vo sab yaad agya or main nahi rok payi aone ap ko.. Im sory Armaan.. Main kabhi bhi tumhe kia hua promise nahi todna chati thi..
ARMAAN : chalo fir no more tears.. N smile...
(Armaan wiped her tears n Ridhima gave a weak teary smile..)
Ridhima : Armaan main sab ko bahut miss krti hn.. Bahut jda..
ARMAAN : miss toh main bhi sabko bahut krta hn Ridhima.. Bhai bhabhi mom dad chachu chachi prem.. Or pta hai kabhi kabhi toh mogambo ko bhi...
N winked at minvi..
Ridhima : kya Armaan tum bhi..
(it is the 1st time in last 5 yrs AR are talking about their past with each other..!!)
ARMAAN :nahi Ridhima seriously.. Jb bhi late horahe hote hai.. Tb dadaji ki vo awaz ko bahut miss krta hn..
Ridhima : kya Armaan tum bhi.. Dadji ki yaad bhi late hone pr ati hai..
ARMAAN : tumhe toh pta hai dadji ka ekdm khadus types unki or meri kabhi nahi bni sply jb maine family business ki jagah music ko chuna bolt oh aise rahi ho Jaise tumhe dadi ki dant yaad nahi ati..
Ridhima : sahi btaun aise time pr bahut ati hai..
N both bursed out in laughter.
Bt the shine in their eyes were missing..
**Armaan pov**
Ridhima main jnta hn tum sabko miss krke bahut roti ho.. Or kabhi mere smne nahi bolti.. Kya mujhe subha uthke tumhare red eyes nahi dikhti.. Or unhe jn bhuj kr ignore krta hn.. Kunki tum har vo kosish krti ho jise mujhe or jda takleef na ho... Main jar vo chiz krunga jise tumhe vo sab bar bar yaad na aye or tum aise hi hadti raho.. Bs kuch aisa hojaye tumhare ankho ki vo chamak vapis ajaye.. Tum pihu or ariha hi toh meri life ho.. Tum teno ki vja se hi main hn..
**Ridhima pov..**
Thank u soo much Armaan meri life main ane kie lie.. Uswaqt tumne mera sath dia sab kuch chod kr.. Jb meri di tk ne mujhe se rishta tod dia.. Mere sath sath tumne bhi apnii family ko khoya.. Jitni takleef mujhe hue utni hi tumhe bhi.. Armaan main jitna bbi tumse chupaun tum fir bbi meri hasi ke piche chupe ansuon ko pdhlete ho.. Or bina kuch kahe unhe mitate ho.. Apna har dard bhulakelr.. Meri hasi ke lie tumne pichle 5 salon main bahut eforts kie hai.. Aj se main promise krti hn main kabhi nahi roungi.. Main ye promise 5 sal pegle bhi kia tha kudh se.. Pr aj di jiju ko dekhkr mera promise tut gya.. Pr abse aisa kabhi nahi hoga..
ARMAAN : chalo thand lgjayegi.. Rum main chaloo
Ridhima : nahi Armaan aj yahi sote hai na.. Plz.. Starts ko dekhe bahut time hogya..
ARMAAN : okk madam as u say.. Pr pehle bistar toh lgalo..
Ridhima : chaloo
Armaan n Ridhima laid on the matres on floor.. Ridhima kept her head on Armaan's shoulder n both were looking at the stars..
Both were lost in their old memories...!!!

Ridhima : hoo chan- ddh - ni jb. Jb tkk
Armaan senced ridhima's uneasiness he moved towards ridhima held ridhima's hand n whispered in her ears : heyy jst close ur eyes n sing for the reason u are here...

Na koyi hai na koyi tha jindagi mein tumhaare siva
Tum dena saath mera o humnawaaz
Armaan : (Wafadaari ki woh rasame nibhayenge hum tum kasame
Ek bhi saans zindagi ki jab tak ho apane bas mein) - (2)
Jab koyi baat bigad jaaye, jab koyi mushkil pad jaaye
Tum dena saath mera o humnawaaz
Na koyi hai na koyi tha jindagi mein tumhaare siva
Tum dena saath mera o humnawaaz
Ridhima : (Dil ko mere huwa yakin hum pehale bhi mile kahi
Silsila ye sadiyo ka koyi aaj ki baat nahi) - (2)
(Jab koyi baat bigad jaaye, jab koyi mushkil pad jaaye
Tum dena saath mera o humnawaaz) - (2)
Na koyi hai na koyi tha jindagi mein tumhaare siva
