TUMSE MILKE - AR SS
PART 7
'Dad, I was thinking kiya main kuch din tak chutti lekar Uncle ka dyan rakh sakti hoon...' Riddhima asked all of sudden making Shashank and Padma shocked where else Karan and Armaan froze hearing her unexpected question...
Silent was around the place as Shashank and Padma were staring at Riddhima, Karan and Armaan wait not knowing what Shashank and Padma will say...
'Shashank, Maine kaha ta koi jarurat nehi ta...' Karan said...
'Kyun nehi hai Karan... Bilkul jarurat hai...
I m proud of u Riddhi... Dekha Padma... Abhi se Riddhi koh apne pariwaar ka chinta hai...' Shashank said smiling and giving Riddhima a side hug...
'Haan Shashank, humhare Riddhi bohot mature hai aur har kissi ka chinta karti hai...' Padma says...
'Toh aapko problem nehi haina main din main Uncle ke paas rahun aur raat main ghar jaaungi...' Riddhima said...
Karan and Armaan were happy to hear Shashank and Padma not having any objection with Riddhima taking care of Karan till he didn't get fully recover...
'Raat koh kyun jaana... I think tumhe ek week ke liyeh yaha rukhna chahiyeh if it is okey with Karan, we wouldn't mind right Padma...' Shashank said...
'Haan Shashank... Raat koh travel karne se toh accha hoga tum raat koh bhi yaha rukh jae Riddhi...
Bhaisaab, koi problem toh nehi hoga na...' Padma said...
Karan look towards Armaan who had a wide smile on his face, understanding then Armaan also would get sometimes to spend with Riddhima, Karan thought it would be a good idea too...
Riddhima who was shocked hearing her parents asking to stay with them for a week, was standing like a statue not believing the words... After knowing Armaan feelings towards her, Riddhima thought it would be not easy to be around him 24/7 hours...
'Haan humhe kyun problem hoga Shashank...
Waise bhi shaadi ke baad Riddhima koh yaha aakar rehna hai toh it would be good to spend a week with us right...' Karan said...
'That would be great idea Karan... Riddhi, if u want we can send u some cloths for a week...' Shashank said...
'Dad, I think I will go home tonight... Main kal aajaungi...' Riddhima said...
'Lekin Riddhi...' Shashank try to convince her to stay the night there...
'Shashank, its okey... She would need to get her stuff...
We wouldn't mind her coming back in morning...' Karan said...
'R u sure Karan... Koi lady nehi hai aur tumhe raat main jarurat pada toh...' Shashank said...
'Main hoon Dad ke paas... It would be fine Uncle, Riddhima kal aayenge toh bhi koi problem nehi hoga humhe...' Armaan said understanding why Riddhima suddenly change her mind not to stay tonight...
Armaan was glad that Riddhima just asked she would be coming and staying the next day... Atfter he had confess her his feeling, he knows she must be dealing with her own feelings and try to understand what was happening between them...
When Armaan and Karan said they wouldn't be facing any problem for the night, Shashank and Padma let go of the matter knowing they wouldn't agree seeing Riddhima wasn't ready to stay for the night...
So letting go of the matter, Shashank and Padma started to discuss about Armaan Riddhima engagement ceremony which would be helding in two weeks time...
As they need to do the arrangement and finalized guest list, cards and other necessary works before the date, they got busy talking among them leaving Riddhima and Armaan to deal with their own feelings for each other...
THREE DAYS LATER
Riddhima had been staying in Mallik Mansion from the past three days, taking care of Karan and Armaan needs... Riddhima was looking after everything just like Nandini and Karan was enjoying Riddhima company while Armaan be in office whole day but keep calling and checking on Karan...
Padma call Riddhima every day asking about Karan and even Shashank call her to check on Karan everytime he get... They were happy that Riddhima was easily getting adjust in her new family...
Armaan was handling office in Karan absent and Riddhima was taking care of Karan... Karan bandage has been remove from head and hand so he can easily use his hand now... Just plaster was on his leg which make difficult to move from one place to other... But Riddhima and Mohan are always there to help him when he need to move...
Armaan come home evening or night sometimes...
So as usual Riddhima was making dinner for Karan and Armaan with the help of chef's and Mohan Kaka... She didn't let them do anything around without her helping them or the other verses...
Karan was sitting in the hall waiting for Armaan, now they had dinner together and same goes in breakfast time from the last three days... Riddhima strictly ask Armaan to be there for dinner because he is not getting enough time to spend with Karan due to the over load work...
As Riddhima had been staying with them, Karan had make arrangement for her in one of the guest room... After finishing making dinner, Riddhima went to get fresh up before Armaan come... Karan was watching news checking the time and waiting for both kids...
10mins past and Armaan reach home all tired after the busy day in home... But whenever he sees Riddhima, he felt that his tiredness vanished with her beautiful smile...
As Armaan enter, he search for his lady love but she wasn't anywhere to be seen... Armaan took a seat next to Karan who look at him before moving his eyes on the television...
'Hi Dad, how is ur leg...' Armaan asked as he saw Karan sitting resting his leg on the coffee table...
'Better then before... My daughter is always there to take care of me now...' Karan said smiling...
Armaan smile hearing him and he remember from the past three days how Riddhima had been avoiding him and as she always get busy with Karan...
Karan had seen the tension between them but didn't understand what was going in between them... As if they were feeling awkward to be around each other... Karan talk Armaan several times about it but Armaan said nothing happen because they usually talk and joke around when Karan is there...
'Use baat kyun nehi karte jaakhe...
Poocho na woh tumhare baare main kiya sochte hai...' Karan said knowing Armaan must be thinking about Riddhima...
Armaan who was wondering where Riddhima must be because Mohan Kaka came with water for him and Riddhima was no where to be seen yet... If she was around, he surely will hear her voice by now giving introduction to servants...
When Karan break the silent, Armaan left a breath caring his temple...
'Itna mat socho Sonny boy... Jo hota hai woh dekha jaaega...
Waise Riddhima tumhe pasand toh karti hai... I mean nehi karte toh sagai ke liyeh haan kyun kahenge right...' Karan said looking at Armaan...
'R u sure Dad, I mean I don't know...
Us din se Riddhima mujhe avoid kar rahi hai... I don't want to lose her in any way...' Armaan said...
Karan smile seeing how helpless his son was because he was in love with girl called Riddhima Gupta, daughter of his close friend whom Karan had been thinking the time he met with her in his very second meeting with Shashank... Nandini was there with him that time and even she said she would love to think Riddhima as her daughter in law one day... This was one reason, Karan wants them to get together...
Armaan who was waiting for Karan reply, stood up thinking maybe he should give a try and talk to Riddhima... Karan look at Armaan who stood up holding his laptop bag and coat as he make his way to go upstairs...
Karan watch Armaan left and he was thinking when everything would turn the way he wish to be... He would be the most happiest person the day Armaan make Riddhima as his wife and Riddhima come to their life to stay with them for forever... Another four days and Riddhima would be going back to her house...
GUEST ROOM
Riddhima took a relaxing shower as she was feeling sticky with all the work she had been doing in kitchen a while ago... So watching hair and taking a long relaxing shower, Riddhima was now standing in front of the mirror checking her cloth... She wear simple baby pink salwar suit as her wet hair was hidden with towel... Water drops were falling on her long bare neck and neckline down to her back which was left reveal as it has a deep neck...
Dupatta was laying on the bed as she was busy talking someone on phone... She hasn't put any makeup as she just came out taking a shower... Usually also she don't put much make up so she was thinking just to apply her strawberry lip gloss as her lips were dry...
'Haan Muskaan... I m sure that the medicine I had been giving to him...' Riddhima was talking to Muskaan who called to conform some information about Riddhima patient as she, Nikki and Rahul had been given her duties in her absent...
'Thank god... Mujhe toh kuch samajh main nehi aa rahi ti maine sahi medicine di ya galat...
Pata hai Ridzy, its been only three days and we miss u around...
Waise how is ur to be father in law... Rahul se pata chala uska accident huva hai issiliyeh tum waha un logo ke paas reh rahe ho...' Muskaan said from the other side...
Riddhima smile hearing how Muskaan was addressing Karan Uncle as her father in law... Few days before Riddhima tell Muskaan and Nikki what her parents and Armaan dad wants... They both support her for what she was doing and even Rahul was supporting her with Abhi...
Everyone were happy that Riddhima was giving a try to move on in her life...
'Ridzy... Kaha hogaye...' Muskaan call from other end...
'Woh, kuch nehi...
Karan Uncle is doing better... Abhi bhi plaster hai leg main...
Bas ek week aur phir nikaldenge...' Riddhima said as she move towards the bed...
'Yeh toh bohot acchi baat hai...
Waise how come uncle and aunty gave permission to u to stay in there...' Muskaan asked...
'Maybe they trust us...' Riddhima said...
'Haan yehi baat hoga...
So any progress in ur relation with Armaan... I mean ab tak toh Armaan ne kaha hoga 'I love u'' Muskaan tease her...
Riddhima blush hearing her, Riddhima was glad they were talking through phone not if Muskaan would be teasing her like hell seeing her red cheeks... Riddhima trace were broken when Muskaan started to tease her as Riddhima was lost for a minute or so not replying her...
'Stop it Muski... Aur...' Riddhima stop sensing she was getting another call...
Riddhima move her mobile away from her ear to see Shashank number flashing... Riddhima wish her father could wait but think it wouldn't be a good idea...
'Sorry Muski, Dad calling...
I will tell u everything when I met okey... Will be seeing u after four days... Till then take care...' Riddhima said...
'Sure Ridzy... U too take care and take care of them...' Muskaan said...
Cutting Muskaan call, Riddhima call back Shashank as by the time his call had been missed... Riddhima wait for Shashank to answer as she remove the towel from her head and ruffling her hair trying to dry with her hand as she hold mobile close to her ear...
'Sorry Dad, woh Muskaan ka call ta... Ek patient ke baare main poochne ke liyeh phone kiya...' Riddhima said as soon as Shashank answer...
'It's okey Riddhi... Hows everything there...' Shashank asked...
Riddhima somehow felt that Shashank was worried about something... What might have happen... Riddhima mentally kick herself for thinking like that as she thought he must be missing her as she had been away from them for three days...
'Dad, what happen... Is everything okey...' Riddhima asked as she move her hair in front on one side of her shoulder...
Silent took place for another minute while Riddhima wait for Shashank to reply her... She then thought it might be related to the land they owe...
Riddhima hasn't talk to Shashank about letting Armaan had the land as Armaan said he will see if he can get another land... Riddhima try to make Armaan agree several time but Armaan keep denying seeing he had to try...
So not having another option, Riddhima let go of the matter as they didn't recevied another letter related to the land...
'Dad, is this about the land..' Riddhima asked...
'Haan Riddhi... Mujhe kuch samajh main nehi aa raha hai kiya kare...
Its on ur name and I think u should think to do something about it... Hum waha koi kaam shuru nehi karte toh woh log humse woh land le lenge...' Shashank said...
Riddhima think for a while as Armaan words were roaming in her mind... The day Karan met with the accident, she had heard why Armaan was holding back himself for asking Riddhima to let him built the hospital in he land which she owe... He don't want to think that he wants to marrying him for the land...
What if she offer her to be a part of his dream project and work in it together... Guess that was the only way they could save their land...
'Dad, I guess it time me to have a talk with someone...
Can u give me sometimes... Not more then three days I promise u...' Riddhima said...
'Ofcourse Riddhi... I want u to take all the time u want... But remember beta, we don't have much time other then two months...' Shashank said...
'I know that... Don't worry, I will make everything perfect in no time...' Riddhima said...
'I trust u princess... I will go now, ur mom is calling... Love u Riddhi...' Shashank said...
'Love u too...' Riddhima said cut the call...
As soon as Riddhima end the call, Riddhima felt someone present... She look around to see Armaan standing with hurt in his eyes... What must have happen to him, why he was so much hurt...
'Armaan...' Riddhima said his name not knowing from how long he was standing there...
'So this is why u had been avoiding me Riddhima...' Armaan said...
Riddhima was unaware of why Armaan was suddenly behaving like this... She didn't know what make him think that she was avoiding him...
'Armaan yeh tum...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan...
'Kyun Riddhima...
Kyun tum humhare itna khayal rakh rahe ho... Kyun tum aise behave kar rahe ho ki tumhe humhare chinta hai...
Kyun Riddhima, aahir kyun tum yeh sab kar rahe ho...' Armaan said...
Riddhima was shocked to hear all this... What has gotton on him that he was thinks she was pretending that she care and are worried for them... As if she is acting and showing off...
Riddhima look towards Armaan with lots of questions in her eyes... Riddhima was amazed to hear Armaan, the one who confess he was in love with her was thinking all this time she was pretending only...
'U don't need to pretend Riddhima... I would have let u go if u tell me the truth before...
I would have not hold u and fall in love with you if I knew u love someone else...' Armaan said...
'What...' Riddhima was left shocked hearing Armaan sentence...
Before Riddhima would say anything more, Armaan left the room without saying anything more... Riddhima stood there looking at him for sometimes and when it hit her mind what Armaan just said Riddhima move behind him knowing he must have misunderstood...
Armaan who was hurt to hear Riddhima saying 'I love u' to someone who she was talking a while...
Knowing here he was dying to know what she felt for him, there she was confessing someone on the phone...
Armaan came to his room shutting the door as he through his coat and laptop bag on the bed with furious... Armaan kick his shoes as he sit on the bed and remove socks too throwing it somewhere in the room...
'Main yaha soch soch ke paagal ho raha hoon woh mere baare main kiya sochte hai...
Woh mujhe avoid kyun kar rahi hai aur woh waha... Kissi aur koh 'I love you' bol rahi hai...' Armaan said while holding his head on his palm...
Riddhima who came behind from Armaan saw he shutting the door with furious... Riddhima was hell shocked with his sudden act and she didn't understand why Armaan was so angry today... That too all of sudden...
Riddhima open the door looking around when she saw Armaan sitting on the bed holding his head on his palm...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call him as she move inside and closing the door behind her...
Armaan look at her side as he stood up and turning his back towards her...
'Please Riddhima... Mujhe koi baat nehi karna tumse...
Just leave me alone...' Armaan said as he move towards the window...
'Armaan, tum itna gussa kyun ho rahe ho...
Maine aisa kiya kardiya tum itna gussa ho rahe ho... Main toh bas 'I love you'' Riddhima was cut by Armaan...
'Haan tum bas sabko 'I love you' bolna mujhe chodke...
Pata hai Riddhima main yaha tumse baat karne ki koshish kar raha hoon...
Jaan ne ki koshish kar raha hoon tum mere baare main kiya sochte ho...' Armaan said...
Riddhima move her gaze away from him understanding why Armaan was so much furious... Riddhima stood there watching Armaan who was standing with his back towards her...
'Armaan main...' Riddhima try to say but again Armaan cut her...
'Nehi Riddhima... Mujhe aur kuch nehi sunna...
Jo sunna hai maine sunli... Tumhe koi aur pasand hai aur main chaakar bhi yeh baat badhal nehi sakte...' Armaan said...
'Armaan tum yeh...' Riddhima try but again Armaan cut her...
'Jo bhi soch raha hoon sahi soch raha hoon Riddhima...
Tum yeh sab mere dad ke wajahse kar rahe ho toh let me tell u... U don't need to do it for us...
Pehle bhi hum ek dusre ke saat rehte aaya hoon... Hum dono koh koi aur ki jarurat nehi hai... Bas tumne ek baar kaha hota Riddhima... Main apne dil koh control kar dete...' Armaan said...
Riddhima was pissed with Armaan by now... Here Riddhima was trying to tell him she was talking to her father and don't know what on earth Armaan is thinking about her...
'Tumhe kissi ki bhi saat rehna hai, woh tum decide karenge Riddhima...
Na main ya Dad kuch kahenge, na tumhe rokhunga..' Armaan said...
'Bas Armaan Bas...
Tum apne aapko samajhte kiya ho... Ek baar mujhe bolne dete itna sab kuch bolne se pehle...' Riddhima blasted at last hearing Armaan none stop blunder...
Armaan who wasn't expecting Riddhima to shout like that turn around to look at her who was standing as anger and hurt were burning in her big eyes... Armaan eyes move on her body which was shaking due to anger...
Her hair was left open flying around her glowing face as she hasn't put any make up other then her strawberry lip gloss... Her neck was left bare as she hasn't put dupatta around her neck...
'Tum jaante bhi ho main kisse baat kar rahi ti Armaan...
Main Dad se baat kar rahi ti... Dad bohot pareshan ta aur main bhi pareshan hoon yaha...
Iswaqt mujhe jab kissi ki jarurat hai tab tum bakwaas kar rahe ho...
Tumhe kiya laga main tumhe jaan bhujke avoid kar raha hoon... Main yaha tumhare aur Uncle ka khayal rakhne ke liyeh aaya hoon... Aur main ek doctor ya insaaniyat ke naate nehi aayi... Main issiliyeh hoon kyunki main tumse pyaar karti hoon... Karan Uncle koh apne Papa maanti hoon issiliyeh...
Lekin tum...' Riddhima stop as by the time tears were falling from her eyes...
Armaan was shocked to hear Riddhima sudden brush out... Armaan wanted to hear her confess she loves him too... But he wasn't expecting this to turn like this... It could have gone more easy and nice if he control himself before blasting on Riddhima like he did a while ago...
Seeing tears falling from her eyes, Armaan move towards her to wipes them and hide her in his arm... But when Armaan try to reach, Riddhima push him away taking step behind her...
'Koi jarurat nehi mere paas aane ki Armaan...
Tumhe kiya laga main tumse pyar nehi karti issiliyeh main tumhe avoid kar rahi hoon...
How could u Armaan... I said I will take care of Uncle because he is like my father...
I agree to get engage with u because I have started to developed feeling for u the day I met u...
Knowing how much affect u was putting to fulfilled a wish or dream to built somewhere in this country and give people a help hand make me respect u with whole heart Armaan...
Mujhe tumhare sacchai aur acchai dekh ke pyar huva hai... Tum apne Mom Dad se kitna pyar karte hai yeh dekh ke pyar huva hai... Issiliyeh maine tumhe help karne ke liyeh socha... Haath aage badai yeh sochke tum mere saat apne dream pure karne ka chance denge...
Mujhe apna kehke, mujhe tumhare saat woh dream pura karne main mujhe tumhare madad karne denge...' Riddhima said...
Armaan stop on the spot hearing Riddhima, he was really shocked to hear all this but somewhere he felt guilty for shouting on her life that...
'Riddhima, main kaise tumhari madad lete... Main nehi chaahte tum log yeh soche main issiliyeh tumhe chance dena chaahta hoon taaki tum humhe woh land de...' Armaan said...
Riddhima shake her head not believing what Armaan was saying... Before Riddhima met with Armaan, neither Armaan knows that she owe a land or Riddhima knows Armaan was looking for one...
'Armaan, tum really yehi sochte ho...
Yaad karo Armaan, tumhara woh project dekh ke maine hi tujhe offer kiya main tumhara madad karna chaahta hoon... Tab hum yeh nehi decide ki hum ek dusre koh chance denge...' Riddhima said...
'But tum kyun woh land mujhe dena chaahte ho... I mean tum log koi aur kaam bhi toh kar sakte hai...' Armaan said...
Riddhima shake her head seeing why Armaan was not thinking about her view of point... Being a doctor, whtelse Riddhima would want to do in a land when she had found the best way to use of the land...
'Armaan, I always want to built another hospital in my land...
Bohot offers aaya hai but mall and university banane ke liyeh... But when I get someone who is interest in building another perfect and amazing hospital why would I go and find someone who wants to use it as a mall or university...' Riddhima said...
'But Riddhima... Tumhari Dad kiya sochenge...' Armaan asked with a small voice...
Riddhima move close to Armaan taking his hand in hers... Armaan look at her as their eyes met with each others... For a moment, they were lost in each other eyes forgetting everything around them...
'Armaan, Main Dad se baat karungi...
Aur use koi objection nehi hoga... Hum sab kuch as in law ke according karenge...
Humhe jaldse jald kaam shuru karna hoga Armaan... Nehi toh woh land government le lenge... Please Armaan...
Tum woh land main kaam shuru karwa denge na...' Riddhima said...
Armaan didn't know wht to say... He wasn't thinking why Riddhima had been offering him to build the hospital in her land... But when Riddhima told her the reason, he couldn't deny anymore...
Riddhima smile a little seeing Armaan nod his head to agree with her offer... She was really happy and hugs him without thinking where they were...
'And please tum yeh mat sochna main aur meri parents yeh soch rahe hai tum mujhse issiliyeh shaadi karna chaahte ho... Kyunki main jaanti hoon tum mujhse kitna pyar karte ho...
Aur main bhi tumse bohot zyada pyar karti hoon Armaan... I love u so so so much...' Riddhima said hiding her face on Armaan neck as Armaan hugs her smiling with best smile hearing at last Riddhima confessing...
