The Distance Between Us - An AR FF (Link to TDBU#2 - Page 1) - Page 101

And I think ye matter sabke samne disclose nahi karte to it would have been better. It was between Ridz - her family n Shilpa. Ridz-Shilpa could have told others if they wanted to at a later point.

I don't know what to say... though you written it beautifully describing shilpa's emotions,armaan's outburst and riddhima's reaction but what i feel is that riddhima's reaction was justified though it was really harsh words she said to shilpa but that's gonna happen not only to RIDDHIMA but to everyone who find themselves situation like this...you can't accept anyone in your life that easily when you know that she is the daughter of that person who almost destroy her and most importantly her mother's life (though you can't punish a person for someone else sins) and ARMAAN'S reaction somehow justified and somehow not...we know she cares for shilpa but what about RIDDHIMA he had to think from her POV too coz that was such a naturally reaction...but then again everyone has different POV...but what i really want to say is that was such a masala type of chapter...i mean full on drama matlab...keep giving us that much drama and please update jaldi de djya karo if possible... i know its easy to say than done nd especially when your result is just about to come...btw best of luck for your results...hope you scores well...

u can't blame ridhima..can u??? suddenly she gt to knw she has a stepsister.. her father abounded her and her mother... her reaction was normal i guess.. maybe she shouldn't said those things bt well it was so sudden fr her.. her lyf is already so mess.. upar se stepsister tapak pada 😆


i knw shilpa is not wrong bt what shipa wants thats nt right.. she wants them to accept her as their daughter..how can she?? yea she find a nurse fr her father... really??? what kind of girl u r.. ??i knw her father did wrong.. wrong is not d word. he did a sin. bt well jo ho chuka hai woh chuka.. u can't change them now.. toh u just abodoned ur father... and thinking that ur stepsister's family now accept u lyk their daughter??? i can never accept that.. for me padma has only two daughters.. noone can accept her cheaters daughter.. i dont want her to be mahan.. its not abt ridhima anymore.. its abt padma...

when dmg happened i really never thought abt padma then.. well i was too small to understand the situation.. bt when now i understand the situation.. i can feel for padma.. for me even in dmg cvs ko padma ko lekar kych dikhana chahiye tha instead of ridhima..shilpa is only thinking abt ridhima .she never thought abt padma...

You're right. It wasn't really Riddhima's fault. Armaan just lashed out on her in that moment because he was angry about that one comment. He's going to talk to Riddhima about it, I've already started writing it. I hope that conversation is enough for you guys to understand that Armaan was wrong in that moment.

Shilpa is not wrong, I agree. But, she's *hoping* for a place in the family. It's different than thinking that will happen. Matlab, best case scenario, she can hope for it, right? She hopes, but she knows that a chance for it to happen in reality is slim to none. Shilpa and uske father ka exactly kya hua, that I'll show in a conversation with Riddhima. Because I think that Riddhima will not like Shilpa leaving her father like that. Toh, tab Shilpa will explain in detail, why she left her dad. What Armaan said is true, she left him because of the revelation, but that wasn't all. The reason for Shilpa leaving is a lot deeper than that. I hope that what I show in that conversation convinces you that Shilpa didn't just mindlessly leave her father after she found out.

You're right. Padma can never accept Shilpa. Real life mein koi nahi karega. But, jaisi Padma ki personality hai, she'll not mistreat Shilpa because of that. Neither will Riddhima. I'm not saying that they have to be family. But, Riddhima and Shilpa, and even Anjali, can be friends, right? Padma never has to accept Shilpa as her daughter. And, really, I'm not going to make Padma do that because that's not something I can see her doing. Padma might accept Shilpa being her daughter's friend. And that too, she doesn't have to be okay with it immediately. Magar, she'll not let her bias influence Riddhima's decision either. If, somewhere Riddhima feels that she can have a nice, cordial relationship with Shilpa, Padma will let Riddhima do that.

I think Riddhima's reaction was justified. It is not easy for anyone to accept that you have a step-sibling from a father who abandoned you. I would have probably reacted the same. She just found out the truth, Shilpa can't just call her Di and hope Ridz will just accept Shilpa with open arms like "Its okay we share the same father n v can be sisters' now." Its way more complicated than that. I think Shilpa is expecting too much too soon from Riddhima.

I agree Ridz saying "dnt want to be associated with the likes of you" was below the belt. But she was least expecting that this was what Shilpa would reveal and she said it in a fit of anger n hurt.

It 's not easy on anyone to know that your parent abandoned you n didn't want you. At that time Riddhima just saw Shilpa as the daughter of the man who left her even before she was born n never bothered to look back.

Riddhima is not a shallow person to blame Shilpa for something that is not her fault. I mean she didn't even have enough time to fully process and analyse the whole thing, that its not Shilpa's fault. Nor did she know the facts that shilpa did after she found what her father had done.

I understand that Shilpa wanted to console n support her but it was not the right time. They could have talked it out later when Ridz had time to think over it. I do feel bad for Shilpa.

I was surprised at Armaan's reaction. Didn't accept that from him. He knows how Riddhima is, knows that she didn't mean it, that she would have realised her misake once she calmed down. I know he's looking out for Shilpa and cares for feelings as well Ridz. But the way he talked to her was unexpected. Its not just Ridz, everybody says hurtful things when they are angry n hurt.

And as for Riddhima , she's was a bit selfish to think that Armaan should only defend her, when she didn't stand up for him during the time she was married to Sid. But I could sense the desparation n vulnerbality in her when she asked Armaan if he doesn't care about her? So thumb's up for that dialogue.

You have absolutely done justice to this relevation n written it beautifully where nobody is actually wrong just different POV's.

Al the best for ur results :)

You're right. Riddhima is absolutely justified in her reaction. Shilpa just called her di in that one moment of desperation because she could see how much knowing the truth hurt Riddhima. But, yes, Riddhima saying that "likes of you" wala thing was definitely below the belt. And she shouldn't have said that. That sentence was the main reason that Armaan lost it. Matlab, had Riddhima not said something like that, Armaan wouldn't have reacted so badly. But those words just made him also mad. That doesn't mean that Armaan sunaofying Riddhima like this was right. He's absolutely wrong to have said all that. But, just like Riddhima, in a fir of anger, he said stuff he didn't mean.

Maybe, Shilpa did expect too much too quickly, but the situation was such that she couldn't help herself. Realistically, Shilpa knows that what she hopes for, won't actually happen. I mean, which woman would accept the daughter of the man who abandoned her and her unborn baby as their own? So, she knows, that something like that actually happening is very low on the probability scale. Perhaps, even negative. But, she still hopes.

You know what? THANK YOU SO MUCH for mentioning that dialogue between Armaan and Riddhima. I really wanted people to feel how vulnerable Riddhima is, when it comes to Armaan. But, I wasn't able to emote it properly, and I was sure that nobody would actually pay attention to that one sentence in such a huge chapter. But, you did and that makes me so happy! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was really difficult to write this, because yes, no one here is wrong. Neither Riddhima, nor Shilpa and not even Armaan. They all just reacted to the immediate situation, and in their own ways, all reactions are justifiable. But, once they get a chance to think about it, Armaan and Riddhima will both realize that they said things they didn't mean, and things that they really shouldn't have said.

I hope that all the conversations in the coming chapters do justice to this revelation and it's aftermath. :)

Thanks a ton! I need all the wishes. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Ridz ke life ka hamesha sabke saamne tamasha ban jaata hai n each time she is blamed for situations that are not in her control. The Ridz-Sid gossip in Sanjeevani, then the whole AR-Sid drama n now this. She has hardly had any say about decisions of her own life.

Now that I think about it, you're right. Maybe sabke saamne bolke tamasha nahi karna chahiye tha. :|

But, I promise, no one will make Riddhima's decision for her in this regard. Not now.

You're right. Riddhima's reaction was justified, she just got a little too cruel in that moment and said something she didn't mean. Which made Armaan mad and made him say things he didn't mean either. Once they've both calmed down, they'll realize that it was wrong. And, hopefully they'll apologize too. :p

Hahahaha. Yes, full on drama wale chapters are really entertaining na? Lots of those coming up. Matlab, itne saare haina, kya batau tumhe! You're gonna love them if you liked this one. So much to show!!

Thank you so much for your wishes. I hope I score well too!

hehe thats my longest comment with deepest meaning on any ff 😆

yea even i want them to be cordial with shilpa bt i dont want any relation between them.. they can be friends bt not sister.. that will be really awkard..i think shilpa sr koi baat kare abt this... maybe karan... that u cant expect them to forget everything thing and accept u as their family.. more than anyone i want a shilpa and karan convo here... bt plz jyada lamba mat khichna their convo 😆



cant wait fr not update... plz try to update the update little sooner

hey even i noticed that dialogue bt itna kuch type karne k baad main bhul gayi 😳

one more thing i didn't like armaan's those dialogues abt after ridhima's adoption.. i thought that was between armaan n ridhima... armaan should not said that infront of everyone.. i want a proper convo abt this between them.. as ridhima already thought she never apologized for that to armaan.. so when she'll apologize make armaan also apologize what he said
