Sid - sir mujhe aapke kuch papers par signature chaiye the... vo actually the lenders and dealer say they don't deal with the new comers... and sir like that no new comer get any establishment... Sir when i said i am associated with your company then they wanted this in written proof before dealing with me... so sir i want ur signature on some documents so i can establish my own business in the market...
armaan - hmm... then do one thing Mr.Modi... ask the legal
person to make your papers ready... and then bring it to me.. so i can consider them...
Sid - i have already done that much sir.. all i need is your signature...
Armaan - hmm... okay give that to me...
Sid pass the document file to armaan and then opened it to read...
Sid - Sir can u please sign them...
armaan - Mr.Modi let me have a look... business need attentiveness and attention...
Sid sit quietly and armaan was reading the documents...
After a while Ridhima enter the Office... and seeing her everyone was shocked... All knows was that Ria was dead then how come the girl is standing there in front of them...
ridhima reached reception...
ridhima - excuse me...
and the receptionist looking at ridhima in horror...
ridhima - excuse me... Hello... excuse me...
Receptionist - he...hello... hello ma'm...
Ridhima - can u tell me the way to Mr.Malik cabin...
receptionist - ye..yehh sure.. this way ma'm...
and then receptionist took ridhima with herself and showing her the way to armaan's cabin while all the while in the office everyone was looking at her in shock and horror... ridhima was confused... and felt little uncomfortable under all the attention she was getting...
soon they reached the cabin... and receptionist left greeting her and then... ridhima was about to enter the cabin when she heard the voices inside the cabin.. and for unknown reason she didn't moved further and stood there listening the conversation and not backing out even...
Here unknown to the person on the door armaan looked up from the file and said...
Armaan - i m sorry Mr.Modi but i can't Sign these documents... These are the work of all the fraud and all the cheating and plus these document will lead you to use the illegal rights on the companies name... and i can't allow anyone to destroy mine and my companies image...
Sid - but sir.. i assure you that nothing bad will come out of this.. sir the best will only be the used...
Armaan - I am sorry Mr.Modi.. i can't sign...
Sid knows he have trumpet card in his hand.. Ridhima...
Sid - Okay sir... But sir then i have to take ridhima with me...
armaan - excuse me...!!!
Sid - yes sir... as you know the project u have given me earlier is going to be over very very soon.. and then i will be coming back.. and then i won't be allowing ridhima to be with you...
Armaan - Mr.Modi you already made a big deal for it...
Sid - i am sorry sir.. but its all about your father's life and your benefit but nothing benefit i have got from this...
Armaan - the benefit you are talking about is already what you have achieved... the demand of yours of having a partnership with my new project... you know Mr.Modi that you are very manager only... and no manager get partnership in companies.. event then to save papa's life and satisfying your deal i gave u all the partnership to u in this big project form the company... and then the big amount you have asked for...
Sid - but sir you see... Ridhima loved me soo much to see all this... and sir u already have a bad image of yours in her eyes as you have blackmailed me to get her into this... *grinned... Sir the choice is yours to be made...
If u are ready to sign these documents or to let ur papa die listening the news of Ria ma'm death...
Sid was grinning ears to ears... and armaan was to numb to listen this and without giving a another thought armaan sign the papers for his papa... without thinking of the image and reputation of the company... and ridhima standing on the door have listen to whole conversation and was shocked...
ridhima hide herself seeing Sid coming out of the cabin and then ridhima in shocked too moved out of the office giving the tiffin to the clerk there to give that lunch to armaan and to tell him to eat the lunch before other meeting...
and ridhima to went back to home... and armaan received the tiffin from the clerk saying Ria ma'm dropped it for him... armaan smiled seeing ridhima caring nature and then armaan settle down and have his lunch...
and ridhima reached home and keep thinking for while...
after thinking alot ridhima thought to call sid...
ridhima picked her phone and made a call to sid...
ridhima - hello...
sid - hello baby... how are you...
ridhima - mein theek hun sid tum kaise ho...
sid - mein bhi bahut aacha hun...
ridhima - sid tum wapas kab aaoge...
Sid - tch... ridhima yaar aabhi bahut kaam baaki hain yahan... din raat bus kaam hi kaam hain... pata nahi kab wapas aunga... aur aabhi toh bahut kaam baaki hain..
ridhima - hmmm... mein tumse baad mein baat karti hun Sid.. kuch kaam hain...
and ridhima cut the call...
Few of the words rang in her mind disturbing her to the core... She badly need confrontation form sid or either armaan...
old conversation played in her mind...
" Armaan - Sir papa ke saamne chota sa natak karna hain... Aur aap iske liya jo bhi amount bolengi mein duga but please papa ke samne ye chota sa natak kar di jiya papa ki jaan bachme ke liya ye.. "
" Sid:nahi riddhima meri koi galti nahi hai... meri koi galti nahi hai... bus meri boss ney mujhsey meri fav cheez mangi ... aur jaab maine unhe vo cheez dane se saaf inkar kardiya toh unhoney mujhe job se nikal diya . "
" Riddhima:mein ne aapni life mein aisa ghatiya insan nahi dekha... jo bus aapni paise ki power par... khair u dnt worry sid hum unpey case kar sakte hain na... aise kasie bina koi wajah key vo tumhey nikal saktey hai tumhari job se...
Sid:hum aise kuch nahi karsaktey riddhima ulta vo mujhpe chori ka ilajam laga rahe hai...ki mein ne compny ke accounts mein fraud kara hain aur paise aapne account mein... tum hi bolo riddhima mai kisi ke paison chori kar sakta hun kya ... "
" Sid:haan riddhima ...armaan sir ne mujhe par sirf chori ka ilajam hi nahi lgaya hain balki mujhpey case bhi file kar bhi chuke hain hai ...aur dhamki di hai ki agar aaj sham tak maine tumhey unki biwi baane ke natak ke liya nahi manaya toh vo mujhe life long jail bhej denga ...
"
" Muskan:dekh Ridhima ye tujhey waqt batayega kaun kitna gira huva insan hai ...bas abh tuh pareshan math ho ...aramaan is a gentleman tujhey fikar karney ki jarurat nahi bas ye sab vo apne papa ki jaan bachney keyliye kar rahey hai ... "
" Armaan: riddhima ...bohot raat hogayi hai iss tarha mai app dono ko akela janey nahi deysakta please sit in the car ... mei drop kar deta hun aap dono ko ...
muskan wishpered in ridhima's ear "dekha isey kehtey hai gentleman jo adhi raat ko ladki ko beech rastey pey nahi chodta safly usey uskey ghar tak pohchatey hai ...par vo tera ..." "
" Ridhima. - par phir muskan akeli rahegi...
Armaan - nahi uski chinta maat kariye aap vo bhi hamare sath hi rahegi hamare ghar... Papa ko mein bol dunga ki vo yahan nai hain aur aapki i mean ria ki friend hain toh phir kuch nahi hoga aur aap dono hamare ghar rah sakte hain... "
" armaan tuk muskan and riddhima to one room and with wet voice while touching the walls said
"iss room ko maine aur ria ney apney bachey keyliye paint kiya tha..." "
" Armaan - "ridhima ji aap mujhe pe aur papa pe bohot bada favour kar rahi ho... aur mein aapki aachai ka aur faida nahi utha sakta... aap dinner pe aane ke liya ready toh ho gayi papa ki khushi ke liya par mein samjh sakta hun aap kitna nervous and uncomfortable ho... ek ajnabee ke saath dinner pe jaana kitna odd lag raha hoga aapko mein janta hun... more over aapki and sid ki shaadi hone wali hain in future agar ye baat use pata chale toh shayad usse bura lag sakta hai aur mein nahi chahta ki because of me aagey jake aap pe koi bhi ungli uthey... "
" Armaan - hmm par aap bohot hichkcihati hai baat karne ke liya toh kya hum dosti kar le taki aap comfortably mujhse baat kar sake ... "
" Siddhant - WHAT...!!! job chod di... tum pagal ho kya Riddhima...
Siddhant - par Riddhima mein ne tumhe bola tha na... job kyu chodi... aab tumhare rahne ka khane pina ka kya karogi... "
Ridhima was very confused... armaan was every time very supportive at every step he made every thing easy for her... he made her at ease... he made arrangements according to her.. never came close.. never take advantage of any situation... every-time supported his father-in-law... and still love his wife who is no more with him and bearing her punishment still and on other hand sid...
wiz lots n lots of luv
