I dedicate this part to desigirl_sydell and Saniya Khan who want a cute Armaan-Peehu scene.Again I dedicate this to Saniya Khan as she wants an Abhay-Rajkumari scene.I dedicate this chapter to Chandni who wants Roshan-Navya scene.
Armaan saw Peehu oiling her hair.
Arm:Peehu...why are you oiling your hair?You hate oiling your hair.Right?
P:But what to do?My hair seems to be damaged.So mumma told me to do oil massage.
Arm:Ok.
Peehu kept her hands on her head to do massage.But Armaan held her hands and removed them from her head.
P:Armaan...why did you do so?
He smiled.Then he started massaging her scalp.She was surprised.
As his fingers travelled all over her scalp sensually she could feel a special sensation passing through her body.She closed her eyes feeling his passionate touch.
He smiled in a naughty manner seeing her feelings which were evient on her face.
Arm:How do you feel now my sweety?
She smiled:Very nice.
Arm:Feeling good?
P:Ya.
Arm:Only that much?
P:What else?
He whispered in her ears:Not feeling romantic?
She blushed.He smiled seeing her blush.
Arnav looked the framed photograph of him,Khushi and little Aarav.
He smiled.Slowly his smile disappeared.Khushi came smiling seeing him look at the photograph.
K:This is such a cute photograph.Right Arnavji?
Suddenly she noticed his dull face.
K:What happened Arnavji?
Arn:Khushi...I don't know why.I don't find anything right.I fear if some thing bad is going to happen.
K:What happened to you?Usually I have this weird feeling and you tease me.But now you are thinking like this.So funny Arnavji.
He smiled.
Aastha was in the garden.She was planting a rose plant.Aarav came.Suddenly a thorn hurt her hand.Her hand started bleeding.It pained her:Ahh!
Immediately he brought the first aid box.
Aar:Show your hand.
Aas:Aarav!
He held her hand and bandaged it after putting ointment.
She looked at him deeply.
His eyes also stuck upto hers.
Suddenly he came back to his senses.He realized that he was still holding her hand.Slowly he removed his hand from her hand.
He talkedsoftly:Be more careful Aastha.
She was surprised by his soft manner of speech.
She thought:How can Aaravji be so soft to me?
She nodded her head with tension:Yes.
He walked away.
She looked at him walking.
Aarav turned back and looked at her.She was surprised.
He went away.
She thought: You are changing Aarav.
She smiled.She smiled thinking of her rain moments with Aarav.
Slowly her smile disappeared.
She thought:What if what i'm thinking about his change is not true?
Aastha was crossing the road.Unexpectedly a bus hit her.
Aastha got admitted to the hospital.
All the Raizadas were there.They all were crying.
Aarav was not crying.He was numb.
Arshi went near him with tears:Your wife is in the ventilator.Doctor has given no hope.Still you have no change?Your face has no expression.You are losing your wife.Bulbul is losing her mother.Still you have no problem.What kind of a man you are?Are you a human being?
Aarav controlled himself.He suppressed his emotions.
Arjun held Arshi's hand.
Arj:Arshi...control yourself.Leave him alone.He is so tensed that he can't even express how sad he is.
Arshi was angry:He is not sad Arjun.He is happy to get rid of Aastha bhabhi.Because he does'nt love her.He hates her.
Unexpectedly Aarav reacted:No.I don't hate her.
Arshi could't believe what she has heard.She could'nt believe the way he has reacted. She stared at him.
Ars:Aarav bhaiyya!
Aarav wept:What will i do Arshi?First God snatched Radhika from me.I thought my life was over.Aastha gave me a new life.But i did'nt understand that.When i got used to her,God snatched her from me.
Arnav,Khushi and Arshi surprised about Aarav's change.
Khushi:No...God has'nt snatched Aastha from you.God can't do any mistake.He won't do that.
Her eyes were wet.
Aarav wept.
Aarav hugged Khushi:Mom...
Khushi could'nt stop crying.
Rajkumari was sneezing while crying.
Abhay:Rajkumari...nothing will happen to Aastha.Don't cry.Our baby will be affected.
Rajkumari touched her stomach and then she looked at him.
Rajku:I know I should not cry too much now as it is not good for our baby.But I can't help it Abhay.I love my brother and now he is in pain.I can't bear it.First Radhika bhabhi.Now Aastha bhabhi too.He had just begun to recover from the trauma resulted from Radhika's bhabhi's death.Now again...,I can't bear it Abhay.
Abh:Rajkumari...God can't give the same pain twice to the same person.Have faith in your God.Aastha bhabhi will get saved.
He wiped her tears.Rajkumari tried to control her tears.
Arnav remembered his past moments with little Aarav.
Flash back...
Aarav's exam result is going to come.Arnav went to him.
Arn:Aarav,are you tense about the result?Never mind.Be cool.
Aar:No dad.I am not tense.I did my exam well.Then why should I worry?And I don't fear anything.I am ASR2.
Arnav smiled:You are a courageous boy.Really you are ASR2.
Arnav hugged Aarav.
Arn:Never lose courage in your life.Courage is what helps us to live in this world.
Aarav smiled:Yes dad.I will always be courageous.
Present...
Arnav saw Aarav weeping.
He thought:Aarav...when you were small you were so courageous.But now you have lost all your courage.You are fearing death...your Aastha's death.I can see that fear in your eyes.This fear is your love for Aastha.
Khushi remembered her past moment with little Aarav.
Flash back...
Aarav looked upset.
K:Aarav beta...why are you looking so upset?
Aar:Mom...I failed in the basket ball game.All are teasing me.
K:It's ok Aarav.It's only a competition.
Aar:All are teasing me.I failed.I will not play foot ball in my future.I hate playing.
K:Don't say like that Aarav.You should not stop playing foot ball.
Aar:No.I have decided that I will not play again.I will fail again if I play.
K:No Aarav beta.You should not accept defeat so fast.You will not fail always.You should move on.You have to practice more and win the game next time.
Aar:But will I win?
K:Yes Aarav beta.Through practice you will win.There is second chance for you.This is not the only competition.
Arnav,Khushi and Aarav played basket ball together.Though Khushi is not an expert in it she tried her level best.
Present...
Khushi thought:That time you got a second chance and you won the game.When you lost Radhika you got a second chance through Aastha.You can't lose this time Aarav.Like you won the game,you will win in your life too.
Khushi's eyes were full of tears.
Anjali was trying to console Arnav.
Anj:Chotte!Don't be shattered.
Arn:Di...I feel the pain which I had when I lost Maa.
Anjali cried:Chotte...
Anjali was frustrated:If Aastha doesn't get saved I will stop praying like you stopped praying after losing Maa.
Arnav wept.He saw Khushi weeping and walked towards her.
Khushi:What a fate!Why all my daughters in law are facing death?
Arnav tried to cover his fear and pain by giving strength to Khushi:What nonsense are you saying?Nothing has happened to Aastha.She is still alive.
K:Arnavji...
Arn:I am telling you.Aastha will recover soon.Please don't cry Khushi.I can't bear it.
She wiped her tears.
She noticed his eyes being wet.She wiped his tears.
K:I won't cry Arnavji.Nothing will happen to our Aastha.
Arnav held her hand.
K:Arnavji...
He embraced her which was soothing to her.
Navya was numb.Roshan was scared of her condition.
Rosh:Navya...
N:Roshan...I was not lucky enough to be brought up with my cousins.But I loved my vacations here.I was very close to Aarav bhai.But now seeing his condition I am scared.I am scared whether he will go back to the situation in which he was seen around 2 years back when he lost Radhika bhabhi.
Rosh:Navya!
Navya walked forward in numbness.
Rosh:Navya!
She didn't listen.He wanted to stop her,but he became weak to do so.
Roshan thought:Oh God!Seeing Navya in this frozen state I feel strange.
Navya walked aimlessly thinking of her very few cherished moments with Aarav-Aastha.Suddenly Lavanya held Navya's hand.Navya was more closer to Lavanya and NK than anyone else.
La:Navya...
Navya burst into tears and hugged Lavanya and NK.
N:I am scared chachi...
Lavanya and NK too cried.
NK:Aastha is Nannav's daughter in law.Nannav can't lose his daughter in law always.
La:Yes Navya.Aastha will come back to us.
Arnav goes near Aarav:I know that you are scared of losing Aastha.Pray well Aarav.God will hear your prayer.
Aarav cried.
NK went to Khushi.
NK:Khushiji...control yourself.I know now words cannot heal your wounds.But what can we do?
Khushi burst into tears:Naneji!
NK became upset:Khushiji...
Payal came and hugged Khushi shedding tears.
K:Jeeji...my daughter in law.Is it that I a not lucky to have a daughter in law?First Radhika...now Aastha...
Pay:It's not like that Khushi...you have faith in Devi Maiyya.Right?Then how did you think that you will lose your present daughter in law too?
Shashi-Garima wept.
Gari:Why Devi Maiyya is always testing them?
Shashi wept:You go near Khushi.She needs you now.
Garima went towards Khushi.
G:Khushi...don't cry beta...
Garima and Madhumati hugged Khushi and cried.
Payal hugged Madhumati crying:Buaji...
Madhu:Hai re Nand Kishore...what are you doing to my Sanka Devi?
G:Khushi has always worshipped Devi Maiyya.Then why is she doing this to our Khushi?
Payal caressed Garima:No Amma.Devi maiyya can't break Khushi's heart again.
Devayani,Anjali,Akash,Manorama tried hard to console Arnav.
Aarav went near the God Shiva's idol and wept.
Aar:Aastha is such a sweet girl.She has only tried to make us happy.Still why did you be so cruel to her?Please save her.I beg you.
He turned back.He saw Rajkumari looking at him seriously.
Rajkum:Surgery is over.
Aarav had no strength to hear the rest.
