PART - 4
Party was going on Sid-Ridhima's house. It was the end of the week and as armaan was returning so Sid had throwed the party on the ocassion of his anniversary. Though he knew riddhima was waiting for armaan and not in any mood for the party, sid was hurt yet was smiling as deep inside he was happy for armaan. The last time armaan talked to sid on phone, he sounded so much relaxed and also promised sid that once he returns, everything will be okay.
"sid, armaan kabtak ayega? aur shilpa bhii arahiha ha na uske sath? " asked rahul
"pata nahi yaar.. armaan phone nahi utha raha hai aur shilpa se baat nahi hui ha. shilpa ne bataya tha ke woh koshish karegi. I dont know yaar ke panchgani me un donone ek dusrese khulke baat ki ha ya nahi but.. lets just see ke kya hota hain. " sid said looking at the door.
riddhima on the other hand was impatiently waiting for armaan. None of them were telling what they were planning but using her sense riddhima guessed it was something regarding armaan and shilpa and so she wanted to talk to armaan.
Armaan entered the party with a smile on his face and as soon as he stepped inside atul shouted "Armaan mere bhai" which caught everyone's attention . armaan waved to them and in a moment everyone gathered around him , hugged him one by one except riddhima who was standing at the same place and watching him.
"Finally you are here man" said rahul. Armaan smiled and congratulated sid.
"waise main akela nahi aya hu.. koi aur bhi ha mere sath" armaan said and everyone looked at him with a confusing look. He moved aside a bit so that everyone could have a look at the entrance. Armaan smiled watching shilpa entering the party while others were surprised and happy except riddhima who was shocked as well as angry. Armaan forwarded his hand to her and she put her hand on his and stood beside him
"Hi guys" shilpa said with a sweet blush. All of them were exchanging looks and grinning while sid was only observing armaan who was smiling at him
"dude whats all this?" asked sid.
armaan smiled and looked at shilpa who was blushing as she didnt know what to say or not.
"oye armaan yeh footage kyu kharaha ha? jaldi bata na kya chal raha ha??" muskaan said excitedly.
"Calm down guys.. nothing much bass yehi ke Main shilpa se shadi karraha hu. " armaan said calmly while others got a shocking happy news. Though they wanted to hear something like this yet they were surprised.
"WHATTT" all said together .armaan and shilpa smiled and nodded. In a moment all of them started to cheer for the newly engaged couple and hugged and blessed them. On the other hand riddhima was the one who started to get negative vibes. She couldnt believe what she heard and that too armaan getting married to shilpa? she couldnt even imagine this in her worst nightmare. She didnt even bother to congratulate them. All she needed to know what actually was happening. shilpa finished hugging everyone when her eyes fell on riddhima who was glaring standing a bit far from the gang. shilpa smiled and went up to her.
"Hi riddhima, kaisi ho? " shilpa asked sweetly but riddhima didnt bother to reply and turned her face around which hurt shilpa but still she smiled and took another chance
"Congratulations to you and sid" shiilpa hoped to hug her but riddhima left from there leaving a disheartened shilpa which was noticed by everyone . Sid and armaan were angry specially sid. shilpa came back to others and tried to hide her sadness.
"accha yeh sab choro.. chalo party karte hai.aj toa double celebration ka din ha, ek toa armaan aur shilpa ki khush khabri aur dusri sid ki anniversary party. " said nikki trying to lighten the mood. the boys headed towards the bar while the girls went to the dance floor in order to cheer up shilpa. They didnt bother for riddhima as they knew she was not at all happy for armaan and now if they ask her to join she wont come with them so all of them let her have alone time.
"sorry dude, riddhima ne shilpa ke sath jaise behave kia uske lie main tujhse sorry bolta hu" sid said. armaan chuckled and patted on his back
"kaisi bate karraha ha? aur riddhima yehi karegi I knew that. woh shilpa se acchese bat kare yeh main kabhi expect bhi nahi karsakta." armaan said.
"waise armaan humhe yeh to bata ke yeh sab hua kaise? I mean tu aur shilpa?" rahul asked
"woh actually" armaan started to say but then rahul's phone rang and he excused himself from there. armaan said he will tell later on. atul went to dance with anjali while sid saw shilpa standing alone
"armaan main abhi aya" sid excused himself and went to her.
"finally I got u" sid said to shilpa who smiled
"kitne time ke bad tujhe ese haste hue dekhraha hu. it really feels so nice." sid said and shilpa smiled
"accha abh bata ke esa kya jadu kiya tune armaan par ke usne tujhe propose hi kardiya?? " sid asked in a teasing mode which took shilpa to the flashback
FLASHBACK
During the days in panchghani armaan and shilpa became even more closer to each other. after a long time armaan was happy, he was laughing enjoying his life with shilpa. The kids of the orphanage used to play basketball, cricket , hide and seek, blind fold with armaan and shilpa which made the duo happy also. Now the condition of the kids were alright and armaan had to return to mumbai. Thinking this, armaan started to become depressed. He didnt yet asked shilpa if she would come back or not as whenever armaan tried to mention about mumbai shilpa used to change the topic. So he wasnt sure whether she was coming back or not but he wanted her to but he didnt know how should he say that. The night before returning to mumbai, shilpa was standing alone in the. armaan came and stood beside her
"kya dekh rahiho ? " he asked her as she seemed to be lost somewhere
"kuch nahi bass yehi sochrahi thi ke yeh ek hafta bohot jaldi beet gaya aur kal tum jaraheho" she didnt realized what she said. Armaan looked at her
"toa phir tum mujhe rokhti kyu nahi?" armaan's words made her realize what she just said. she tried to change the topic but when she saw him staring at her she knew she could not change the topic now
"armaan woh.."
"bolo shilpa..agar tum nahi chahti ke main jaun toa phir tum mujhe rokhti kyu nahi?"
she had no answer ."main tumhe kaise roku? I mean tumhe jana ha I know.. tumhara kam, ghar, dost sab waha hae aur "
"par tum yahapar ho shilpa" this time armaan didnt realize what he just said which created a million dollar thunder volt inside shilpa's body. armaan took a step forward and her right hand with his both hands
"I dont know ke main yeh sab kya kehraha hu aur kya kehne wala hu, but itna janta hu ke har ek shabd dilse kehraha hu, shilpa I dont know, jab tum mumbai se bina kuch bole chali ayi mujhe tabse esa lagraha ha ke uski waja main hoo, maine tumhe itna call kiya tumne nahi uthaya, koi msg nahi, koi phone nahi"
"armaan main .."she was ssshhhed by armaan
"mujhe kehne do, jab tum nahi thi har pal ek bechanisi rehti thi, sanjeevani ke har ek kone par tumhare yaad hain. children's ward ka har ek baccha sirf shilpa didi ko dhundta hain, humara icu ka patient bhi mujhse kehta ha ke mere sath doctor kaha ha ? mere pass koi jawab nahi tha kyuki main khud nahi janta ke tum kaha chali gayi aur kyu. jab yahapar aya aur tumse mila ek ajeeb na sukoon mila. riddhima mujhe chorke chali gayi, I accepted it. main yeh accept karliya ke woh mere pyar ke layak nahi hain, usske sath rehkar humesha maine dukh paya. uske sath rehkar kabhi sahi mainome main khush nahi tha jo ki ab hu. tumhare sath rehkar main woh armaan ban sakta hu jo actually main hu. tum jis tarah se mujhse larti hu, dukh nahi hota ha kyuki humare beech me ek dusreko rooth na manana nahi hai kyuki hum dono itni acche dost ha ke bina kuch bole samajh jate hain. aur ek ese dost ko main khote khote reh gaya tha.. mujhe jab tumhari zarurat thi tab tum chali gayi par ab main tumhe phirse jane nahi dunga...main janta hu ke tum mujhe rokhna chahti ho par kehti nahi ho.. isiliye main tumse kehta hu, kya tum humari dosti ko ek aur nam dogi? Mujhse shadi karogi shilpa?? "
whatever armaan said until the last sentence it seemed to be blur now for shilpa cause the last sentence blew her mind away
"main nahi janta shilpa ke main kaise tumse yeh puch raha hu, shayed tum inkar bhi kardo.. par tumhara yeh janna zaruri hain ke main tumhe aur humari yeh dosti nahi tor sakta.. tumhe nahi chor sakta. mere pass ab kuch nahi shilpa , riddhima sid ke sath move on kar chuki hain. kya tum mujhe phirse khushiya lake dogi? mujhe phirse pehle jaise move on karneme mera sath, mera sathi banke sahara dogi? mujhse shadi karogi shilpa??? "
FLASHBACK ENDS
shilpa finished narrating the story and a small cute blush came across her face
"aur uske baad tera jawab kya tha woh mujhe tere chehrese hi pata chal raha hain" sid said in a teasing tone
"par shilpa tune armaan se kaha na ke tu usse pyar karti hain?" sid asked
" nahi... " shilpa said
"par kyu? ab toa sab theek ha aur wasebhi armaan ki batose saf pata chalta ha ke woh bhi tujhe chahta hain bass realize nahi karparaha ha aur"
"nahi sid, armaan ke sath abhi abhi bohot kuch hua hain. main kaha na, woh khushiya dhund raha ha, eseme mera pyar, kahi uske lie ek majburi aur bojh na ban jaye... aur agar bhagwan ne chaha mera pyar wasehi mere sath ha abhi isse zyada mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye" shilpa smiled at sid who in response hugged her.
"im very happy for both of you" sid said.
