Tumhe Pa Liya
An AR OS
It was a medium room with a queen size bed in the left corner which was mess up as the sheet and pillows were not in its place, comforter was also thrown on the floor where it was cover with several papers, books, cloths and glass pieces of vase and glass, medium wardrobe which has it doors left open as cloths were handing down without any order, a study table and chair with a cupboard above it filled with several books and teddies not in the right place as everything has been mess up...
Everything was mess up around the room as a girl who was in a purple body fit top and slim fit jeans stood in the middle of the things on the floor and bed... Her silky long hair was mess as she was shaking with anger as tears fall from her bloodshot eyes... Her face was red due to anger and she was breathing heavily as she try to control herself as her anger was reaching to the sky...
Girl move towards the studies table, where a lamp and laptop was kept with other files...She took the lamp and was about to throw it one the floor to break it into pieces but stop when suddenly the door flow open with a force as another girl enter the room with shocked written on her face seeing the room condition...
'What the hell, Are you out of your mind... Have you gone crazy...' Second girl asked as she enter the room very carefully not to hurt herself by the glass pieces on the floor...
'You are asking what the hell is wrong with me...??? Better go and ask Dad what the hell is wrong with him... Why can't he agree for once to give what I want in life...' First girl said as she kept the lamp with a force...
'Doing all this wouldn't help Dad to agree for what u want my dearest little sister... Just calm down, wer need to talk him calmly...' Second girl said as she stood next to her sister who is two years younger to her...
'Di, how can I be clam... No one is trying to understand me... Na Dad aur na woh akdu...' First girl said...
'When it comes to Dad, I can understand Sis but what about ur Mr. Akdu... What is his problem...'Second girl asked...
'He is not ready to get married without Dad permission , its been two years we are in relation and from the last five months I m trying to make Dad understand how much I love him... I asked him to get married because after marriage, Dad might change his point of view towards him but no... Dad always wants my life to go the wat he wants it to be but now Mr. Akdu is saying he would make Dad believe that how much he loves me and get permission for our marriage...' First girl said...
First girl move away from her sister and carefully reach to the bed and sit, holding her head in her hands... Second girl just stood staring at her little sister whom she take care of her like her own baby... After their mothers death when she was just 8 years old and she was 10 years, from that time she took care of her sister like a mother...
Their father had give every happiness and wealth he could give them but the love was missing which they both crave from their parents who was only their father now... Their father had been so much involve in his work, to make money and take the business to the high level he never think that his daughters will need love and care as well with the happiness and wealth...
How much wealth they have, they prefer to live in this medium house where they live their mother... After their mother's death, how much money they got and have, now no one wants to leave this place as they have all the memories attach to the house of their mother...
Second girl trace was broke when she heard her sister's sob, seeing her baby sister crying, she felt someone snatch her heart... Unknowingly tears were falling from her eyes too, wiping those tears not wanting her sister to see, she slowly move to her sister, sitting next to her hugging her closed to her chest just like a mother would do when her daughter cries...
First girl sit with her face cover with her palm as she cry and feeling her sister who was not less then a mother to her took her in her arms, telling her she understand what she was going through... As soon as her sister hugs her, she broke again or god knows how many times from last few months...
'Shhh, chup hojao baby... Nothing is gonna be fine like this... First stop crying, we will talk to your Mr. Akdu and Dad too...' Second girl said as she move out from the hug and trying to take her sister hand from her face to wipes those tears as it was giving so much pain to her...
'Nothing gonna be okey Di... Dad will never agree...
Can you believe when he say, we are so different from each other, I know he is a famous actor but don't they have a personal life... I know people are gonna make so much fuss about this when we public our relation...' First girl said...
'Look at me and listen to me baby...' Second girl said taking her hand from her face looking at her face which was red due to crying so much, 'Dad is right that we are very much different from him because we are Gupta's... He is a famous actor and he had been always around with several girls and famous people...
Baby, u just meet him when he went to ur boutique where started with ur amazing sets of design cloths... People love your designing because you are Famous Fashion Designer, Ms. Riddhima Gupta and maybe that's the reason ur Mr. Akdu wants u to design his outfits for his every movie...
If he is a famous actor, you are famous designer... If the whole world knows him, even people knows you but the difference is he is always surrounded by many people and you are not that much surrounded by the public...
For you and him, these things doesn't matter because you both love each other, but for Shashank Gupta, one of the famous business tycoon in the country who is out father, its matter because maybe he listen to those fake rumors about your Mr. Akdu which publish every day in newspapers and magazines...
Believe me baby, first even I thought these actors would be all same but when you both came and confess you both love each other from the very beginning of ur relationship. I understood how much serious he was with you... I know people out there think you both just see each other because u design his cloths and you are his personal designer but a very few people knows the truth like us, dad, his parents and our friends...'
'Anjie Di, why don't Dad just believe once that he is not like that... Even his parents is happy with our relation, then why can't dad just give permission because dad knows that I wouldn't think to get married to another guy other then him and because of me even u r delaying your marriage and my to be brother in law is suffering because of us, because of me...' Riddhima said...
Anjali Gupta, just stare at her little sister who was thinking not only about her happiness, as well as she was thinking about her happiness... Its true that she was delaying her marriage because she don't want to leave her baby sister alone with their father knowing how rudely he has been behaving with her after knowing she was in love with most famous guy in the film industry...
Like a typical father, he was taking everything too seriously which was all over the media, newspapers and magazines... It was true that he had many girlfriends before but when he was truly in love, now he was committed with one particular person...
'Di, you don't have to keep delaying anymore...' Riddhima said as she hold Anjali's hand...
'I can't leave you here alone knowing their are no one here to take care of my baby sister... If you get married and be with ur Mr. Akdu, I know he and his parents would take a good care of my baby sister then only I would be tension free right...' Anjali said as she squeeze Riddhima hand...
'But Di...' Riddhima was about to say something but Anjali cut her...
'No but and if okey, me and your to be brother in law have decided... If by any chance we are going to get married with the pressure of his parents or dad, then we will take you with us because there is no way I m gonna leave you here with Dad alone who only cares for money and his status...' Anjali said...
'This is not right Di, what will people think if I go and start living with you and your in laws... They wouldn't like it either..' Riddhima said...
'Then its decided, if we don't get what we want, things can't go the way we want, they also wouldn't get and make things the way they want... If we have to sacrifice, they had to do the same... So no more talking about this topic and we will just try to make Dad agree to your relation with your Mr. Akdu and after that you can take care of your Mr. Akdu for making you cry, for now no more tears okey...' Anjali said as she wipes Riddhima tears who smile a little as she nodded agreeing with her..
Both sister's hugs each other and soon they were cleaning the room and arranging everything putting them back on there right place's... Once they were done, they drop their bodies on the bed as their legs hand down from the bed as they laid looking up at the ceiling...
'God, I wish all this end for the best... Every day I can't come home to see all this mess in your room and then clean it after busy hours in office...' Anjali said...
'Di, you are saying as if you work in someone else office... You are working with Atul Joshi, my to be brother in law and I m sure he wouldn't make you work too much so that he could spend some lovey dovey time with his fiance... After all that the only time you both get to romance both being workaholic...' Riddhima said...
'Its nothing like that okey Sis... We both go out for dinners and spend times with each other, outside office...' Anjali said...
'Right and if you forget Di, let me remind you that you always drag me with you most of the times with both of you... I m really not interest to see your romance because it feels really awkward you know...' Riddhima said...
'Common Sis, when you are with us we didn't get too cozy...' Anjali said...
'Oh really, I wonder how much cozy you both could get then if this is not too much for you both...'Riddhima said which makes Anjali blush hearing Riddhima teasing her...
Before Anjali could answer Riddhima, Shashank call from downstairs announcing he was back... Riddhima just laid not moving from her bed knowing their Dad wouldn't want to see her after they had been fought due to the relationship Riddhima was with this famous guy from the film industry...
'Sis...' Anjali said as she stood up...
'Please Di, I m really not in mood to hear his taunt about me and my relationship with the famous guy like he always mention... Can't he just take his name for once...' Riddhima said turning on her stomach and hiding her face on the pillow...
'What about dinner...???' Anjali asked...
'I m not hungry...' Riddhima said still being in same position...
'What if Mr. Akdu call me and ask me about his love have food or not...' Anjali asked in a tease tone...
'Why would he call you...' Riddhima asked looking at Anjali who was near the door to exist from her room...
'This is not the first time you both had fight with each other...' Anjali said...
'Whatever, tell him its none of his business anymore...' Riddhima said hiding her face again...
'Common Sis, woh...' Anjali was cut as Shashank call her again...
'Go Di, Dad must need something...' Riddhima said not looking towards Anjali as fresh tears form in her eyes...
Anjali left knowing Riddhima wouldn't move and come down to have dinner with them.. It happen very rarely that their father come home early before dinner time... Before they get really excited but now, its only two people who have meals together due to the tension in the house...
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE SAME CITY
People were screaming, flashes everywhere as the camera's were around... Reporters were trying to get a word from the person who was walking out from the cinema surrounded by several guards protecting as fans would try to reach or touch...
It was too noisy that no one hear a word what other was shouting towards the person who was dress in a white shirt, black jacket and jeans... Hearing so many people shooting questions towards him, he stop answering some people and giving pose to the camera's...
It was around 1 am and after the premiers of his next movie, he move out to be welcome by fans and reporters who didn't leave a chance to cover his current status about professional life as well as personal... Personal questions always would be avoided but he would happily answer for questions which is related to movie and work...
Only one name was hearing from the crowd as girls drool over the young and hottest guy in film industry... Waving to the crowd, the guy safely got inside his car as his guards make sure that he was safe... Making sure he was ready to leave for the day, his car started to move through the crowd as guards make way for his car to move out...
Guy rest his head on the seat closing his eyes, one of the guard was sitting in the front passenger seat with the driver while they drive to his apartment... Silent was broke when his mobile started to ring, checking the caller he answer the call as smile adore on his face showing dimples on his both cheeks...
'Hey Baby, how are you... Missing me haan...' Guy asked as soon as he answer the call...
When he didn't get any respond from the other side, guy sigh understanding what the person was doing on the other side of the call...
Its been now daily routine for them, how many months and years they are together but after they tell their parents things has not going smooth between them... How much the guy try to make his love understand how much it means him to make her father happily agree to their relation and give her hand to him, his love wasn't ready to agree to it saying her father will never agree and is talking about her getting married to someone else...
'Baby, Phirse wohi baat koh lekar ro rahi ho... Kiya tumhe humhare pyar par vishwaas nehi hai, kiya tumhe mujhpe vishwaas nehi hai...' Guy asked...
'Mr. Armaan Akdu Mallik, yeh sab dialogue mujhpar kaam nehi karne wale samjhe... Aur sab tumhare wajahse ho raha hai... Tum zidd pe ade ho, meri koi baat nehi maante ho... Aur yeh baby baby mujhpe mat use karo, jaakar woh tumhare co star koh use karo jo har waqt tumhare aage peeche ghumte hai...' Girl at last break the silent...
'Ms. Riddhima Gupta, main jaanta hoon tum abhi bohot gusse mein ho lekin yeh tum bhi jaante ho mujhe tumhare siwa koi aur nehi dikhta... Mera carrier aisa hai ki main hamesha koi na koi ladki ke saat rehta hoon lekin iska yeh matlab nehi main har kissi ke saat personal rishta rakhta hoon...'Armaan said...
The line goes dead next second and Armaan just stare his mobile with his jaw tight... He hit his forehead for making his love more angry then she was already, he knew something must have happen that Riddhima was in a bad mood again...
Armaan Mallik, one of the top star in film industry, for whom several girls go crazy, millions girls die in different corner of the world but his heart was beating for one particular girl who he was head over heels in love with her but the problem is her father isn't happy with their relation thinking that Armaan was just using Riddhima...
Someone who was famous like him can never be serious in any relation, this is what her father thinks but maybe he is forgetting that even Armaan is a human been before being an actor... Armaan can understand Riddhima's father concern towards his daughter, he believe and respect him is the reason that he didn't agree with Riddhima for going against her father and get married...
Armaan mind was busy thinking what he can do to make Shashank agree to their relation, he try talking to him several times but Shashank insult him every time... Armaan knows it would take time for Shashank to believe and accept him, Armaan was willing to give all the time Shashank needs but Armaan just wouldn't agree with Riddhima demand of getting married without Shashank permission and bless...
Armaan trace was broke when the car stop and his bodyguard open the door for him... Thanking him, Armaan move to his apartment building where he live with his parents... Armaan is the only child of Mallik's and they love him for what he is today and support him... Armaan always thank them for his success because if it wasn't for them, Armaan couldn't have come this far, if Armaan love anyone in this world after Riddhima, its his parents...
How much famous he is, but he is very down to earth person and love his dear ones... After working hours, Armaan always make sure that he give time to his parents... In any holiday, he would prefer to stay home with his parents and friends then going out with those famous people in the industry...
Armaan reach at the top floor of the building to his five room apartment, it was like a house which he had been living half of his life with his parents... Armaan open the door as he move to the hall which was of medium size but furniture with expensive furniture... On right, near the door they have a small area for Puja room... On left kitchen with dinning area, big dinning table for 12 people seats...
In hall, leather sofa with artificial plants pots kept on either side of it... Coffee table in the middle with remotes, magazines and newspapers... On the wall, huge television was hang with CD racks under it, filled with CD's and DVD's... DVD player, cable modem was above on the rack...
Stairs was on the right to lead up to the first floor where three rooms were up and two in down... Armaan parents room was down where else other room was study room where Armaan father work who is a lawyer by professional while his mother is social worker... Armaan also donate half of his money every month to the charity to help those poor people and in return he get so much love and blessing...
As its being late night, Armaan knew his parents must have gone to sleep... Armaan inform his mother Nandini Mallik that he would be coming late due to the premier function and he don't like his mother waiting for him late night... So not wanting to make any noise, Armaan quickly move to his room...
Armaan enter his room to see all the lights were off, taking off his jacket, he on the lights and look around to see how clean it was as at the morning it was mess before he left for work... Armaan smile knowing his mother must have asked the maid to clean and everything was on it place, nicely arrange...
Armaan again dial Riddhima number but it seems she was too angry to answer his call... Riddhima keeps cutting his calls and knowing it would be better to let go for the night, Armaan went to fresh up before hitting the bed... After freshen up, Armaan came in his short, drying his hair with his upper body bare... Water drops were over his well built body as he sit on the bed thinking what to do that Riddhima be happy and Shashank agree to their relation...
Armaan brain started to work in its fastest speed as it could, he was lost in thought and when he couldn't get any idea due to her mind was tired after long day, he decide to get some sleep and in morning he would think of something to make up with Riddhima for making her upset...
Throwing the towel to the laundry basket in one corner of the room, he sink to the comfortable soft bed as he laid on his stomach, hugging the pillow... Armaan closed his eyes as his mind slowly took him to his dream land to meet his lover, his Riddhima...
NEXT DAY
Armaan was sleeping peacefully when suddenly his alarm started breaking the silent around the room... Armaan was hiding his head under the pillow, comforter slipping from his body as he stretch his body all over the bed... He stretch out his hand and off the alarm not wanting to open his eyes as he was with his Riddhima in their dream land...
Lady enter the room to see Armaan still sleeping, she move towards the curtains which was flying as the windows were left open for the wind to blow in and out freely... She open the curtains letting the sun ray gives light to the dark room then she move towards Armaan who was in his dream land...
Lady smile seeing how Armaan was sleeping hiding his face under the pillow... She try to pull the pillow but Armaan hold it firmly not willing to let it go... She knows it was a difficult task to wake him up, being one of the busiest person who had to roam all over the country because of his carrier, gives a hard time when someone try to wake him...
'Baccha, subah hogaye... Kaam pe nehi jaana...' Lady asked caring his bare back...
'Paanch minute mom...' Armaan said in a sleepy tone...
'Nandu, usko sone dena... Bechara pata nehi kab soya, kitna kaam karte hai...' Man said coming inside...
'Kyun nehi Karan, humhara beta toh hai hi bade log mein se... Kaam karna hai successful hone ke liyeh...' Nandini said...
'Issiliyeh toh keh raha hoon, jab tak woh sona chaahte hai, sone de... Neend pura hojaenge toh apne aap utjaenge...' Karan said...
'Aap shayad bhul rahe ho Karan, isko apna schedule ke hisaab se rehna hota hai... Aur apne kaam se pehle woh hamesha hum dono ke saat breakfast karte hai apne din shuru karne se pehle...'Nandini said...
'Kaise bhul sakta hoon Nandu, after all humhara hi beta hai... Sabse pehle humhare khushi ka khayal rakhte hai uske baad humhare hone wali bahu ki...' Karan said...
Armaan who was trying to catch so more sleep was getting disturb by his parents none stop blunder... It was daily routine that his mother come to wake him and his father come to stop her from disturbing his buddy sleep... Hearing they didn't get bore by praising him every single day, smile was on his lips for making his parents so proud of him...
When Karan mention about their to be daughter in law, Armaan brain got startled remembering his love was upset with him... Armaan sit up with a jerk making Karan and Nandini stop talking seeing how come Armaan wake up so easily... Armaan check the time and it was going to be 8 am soon...
'Kiya huva buddy...' Karan asked seeing Armaan move out from the bed and running towards the washroom..
'Ek important kaam yaad aagaya... Mom, jaldi se breakfast laga doh... Mujhe jaldi nikalna hoga...'Armaan said entering to the washroom...
Karan and Nandini was amaze to see how much hurry Armaan was, thinking what him run on his toe they look at each other trying to understand if it was anything they mention that make Armaan wide awake before nine... His day started at nine and his work at 11 am after spending an hour with his parents...
'Kahin Riddhima phirse naraz toh nehi hogaye...' Karan asked...
'Shayad, nehi toh Armaan itni jaldi mein nehi hota...' Nandini said...
'Pata nehi Shashank koh kiya problem hai humhare bete se aur Riddhima ke rishte se...' Karan said...
'Karan, humein samajhna hoga yeh baat woh ladki wale hai aur ek beti ki pita...' Nandini said...
'Samajhte hai Nandu, lekin humhara Armaan bura nehi hai... Woh Riddhima bitiya se bohot pyar karte hai...' Karan said...
'Humein waqt dena hoga Shashank bhaisaab koh... Jis din unko pata chale un dono ke pyar ki gehrai, woh maanjaenge...' Nandini said...
'Pata nehi woh din kab aayenge... Mujhe apne bahu is ghar mein jaldi chahiyeh... Bohot pyaari bacchi hai woh, pehle din se mera dil churaliya...' Karan said...
'Sahi kaha tumne, woh bohot pyari bacchi hai... Aur us ne humhare Armaan koh pyar karna sikhaya...' Nandini said...
'Lekin uske baap ne..' Karan was cut by Nandini...
'Chodiye na yeh baat koh Karan, koi faida nehi hai...
Un dono koh pyar saccha hai toh ek din zarur Shashank bhaisaab koh yakeen hojaenge Armaan hi sahi hai uske beti ke liyeh...' Nandini said...
'Haan, aur woh kehte haina... Jaha saccha pyar hota hai, waha jeet hi hota hai pyar ka...' Karan said...
'Kiya baat hai Karan saahab, aap toh pyar ke baare mein bohot kuch jaante hai...' Nandini said moving to Armaan warbrobe to take cloths for him...
'Kyun nehi, after all maine bhi toh pyar kiya hai...' Karan said hugging Nandini from behind as she came and was keeping Armaan dress on bed...
'Kiya kar rahe ho Karan, bete ke kamre mein ho... Kuch toh sharam karo, apne umar ka toh khayal rakho...' Nandini said moving Karan hand out from her waist...
'Umar ka kiya hai begam, mera dil toh aapke liyeh dhalhak ta hai...' Karan said...
'Jaanti hoon, lekin abhi apne dhalhkan khaabu mein rakho...' Nandini said moving out from the room...
Karan follow Nandini all the way to the kitchen were servants were making breakfast... Nandini asked him to sit while she serve him his tea before breakfast... They wait for Armaan to come and have breakfast knowing he would be in hurry today as they understood something must have happen between the kids...
When Armaan came Karan asked to make sure what they were thinking was right and Armaan who didn't hide anything from his buddy and mom, tell what happen and why Riddhima got upset...
'Dekh Armaan, Shashank toh itni aasaani se maanne walon mein se nehi hai, lekin tu kyun us bacche koh naraz kar rahe ho... Tumhe toh uski saat dene chahiyeh ta...' Karan said...
'Jaanta hoon Dad, lekin aap yeh bhi jaante haina main Shashank uncle ke permission ke bina shaadi nehi kar sakte...
Main nehi chahte jo rishta Riddhima aur uske dad ke beech hai woh bhi khatam ho humhare ek galat faisle ki wajahse...' Armaan said...
'Lekin tu yeh mat bhulna, Riddhima ki khushi tumhare saat hai baccha...' Nandini said...
'Kaise bhul sakta hoon Mom, mera khushi bhi toh uske saat jhuda hai...' Armaan said...
BOUTIQUE
Riddhima was furiously drawing something on paper as several papers were on the table without any arrange... She wasn't able to sleep a wink whole night knowing Armaan was not in fault and still she got mad at him without any reason... So she thought to distract herself by coming early and try to do some work but nothing was helping...
Her life was a mess just because of her father one decision depend on her whole life... How much she wants to marry Armaan, she also want Shashank to accept them from whole heart so she would be able to live in peace rest of her life but it seems nothing came go easy when it comes to her...
As the opening time was 10 am, Riddhima was sitting in the small cabin inside the boutique where she always work on her project and dresses without getting disturb from customers, also as she want to keep an eye on her employees she thought it would be best to make her office in same place...
Riddhima was not able to concentrate on her work as her mind was too disturb at the moment... She knows Armaan would come to meet her but she was not ready to face him today... Knowing she would not be able to control her anger which she has for her father and will let it all out on Armaan, Riddhima was hoping that Armaan didn't come today...
Riddhima drop the pencil she was holding as angry tears forms in her eyes, she hold her head as she sobbed softly letting her anger out with those tears falling from her eyes... She heard the nobe turn and not wanting to see her states, Riddhima quickly wipe her face and put a fake smile on her face...
Riddhima smile vanished seeing who just enter, not able to face the person she turn her chair giving her back to the person... She hide her face in her palm as again fresh tears fall started to leak from her eyes... She was feeling very restless knowing nothing can be done by anyone unless Shashank didn't agree to her relation...
Person move inside and came in front of Riddhima to see her sitting hiding her face as she sobbed softly... Not able to see her in this state, the person pull her up, hugging her tight... Riddhima struggle not wanting to be in anyone arms but the person didn't leave her...
After few second of struggling to come out from the hold, Riddhima started to sobbed hardly making the person cloth wet with her tears... Person stood holding her close, rubbing her back and hair to calm her as her sobbed started to increase...
'Shhh baby, kitna roenge ab... Tum jaante hona humhare haat mein kuch nehi hai...' Person said...
Hearing those words, Riddhima felt her anger built inside again... She push the person, glaring with her bloodshot eyes... Person try to move close to her taking her in a hug but Riddhima just stop him showing her hand...
'Paas mat aao, tum kuch nehi kar sakte ho toh dur raho mujhse Armaan...' Riddhima said as fresh tears fall from her eyes...
'Baby, tum itna gussa kyun ho rahe ho... Main bhi chaahta hoon hum jaldi shaadi kare lekin...'Armaan was cut by Riddhima...
'Lekin meri dad ke wajahse tum shaadi nehi kar sakti mujhse, yehi na... Bohot baar sunliya maine Armaan, koi mujhe samajhne ki koshish nehi karte... Na tum, na dad...' Riddhima said turning around showing her back to him..
'Aise kyun bol rahe ho baby, u know how much I love u...' Armaan said moving behind her and hugging her...
Riddhima try to struggle his arms off from her but Armaan hold her little too farm that she can't easily move out from his hold... He hides his face on Riddhima hair on her neck knowing their closeness will calm her down and then only he can talk to her...
When Riddhima calm down, Armaan turn her around in his hold... Riddhima was still sobbing softly, Armaan wipes her cheeks shaking his head side to side asking not to cry... Riddhima hugs him, hiding her face on crook of his neck... Armaan let her be like that still her sobs succeed...
When Armaan was sure Riddhima would be able to understand him now, he break the hug and make her sit on her chair as he sit in front of her on his knee holding her hand which was on her lap... Riddhima look at Armaan eyes with her teary ones, Armaan again wipes her face and Riddhima lower her eyes as she still sniff due to the crying...
'Dekho ro ro ke kiya haalat bana liya tumne apna...' Armaan said caring her cheek softly...
'Kisko padi hai meri rone se ya na rone se...' Riddhima said sniffing...
'Mujhe padta hai, mujhe yaha dard hota hai...' Armaan said putting her hand along with his on his heart...
'Toh maan kyun nehi chaahte tum..' Riddhima asked...
'Baby, maine tumhe wajah bataya na... Lekin tum phirse sunna chaahte ho toh mujhe bolne mein koi problem nehi hai... Main yeh sochti hoon parents ke blessing ke bina hum apne future start nehi kar sakte... Kyunki woh log hai jiski wajahse hum is dhuniyamein aaye hai.. Un logo koh naraz karke shaadi toh hum kar sakte hai lekin kabhi sukoon se nehi jee paenge...' Armaan said...
'Dad kyun nehi samajha raha Armaan...' Riddhima said touching her forehead against Armaan's...
'Kyunki woh ek beti ki pita hai... Jisne apne beti ke liyeh bohot sara sapna dekha hoga... Shayad woh dikhate nehi woh tumse aur Anjali se kitna pyar karte hai lekin uske na ke peeche bhi wajah hoga Baby...' Armaan said...
'I don't think Dad loves me...' Riddhima said...
'Aisa nehi kehte, woh tumhare papa aur mamma bhi hai ab... Woh apne beti ke liyeh bura nehi chaahenge...
Baby, hum shaadi zarur karenge lekin tumhare dad ke permission ke baad... Humhare pyar itna kamzor nehi haina jo hum ek dusre ke liyeh janmo janmo tak inthizaar nehi kar sakte...' Armaan said...
'What if he didn't accept ever...' Riddhima asked...
'Trust our love honey, if our love is pure one day he will accept it with whole heart...' Armaan said...
'I believe it Armaan... I don't want to lose u, I love u too deary...' Riddhima said...
'I love u too...' Armaan said caring her hands which was resting on his chest now...
They stay like this for sometimes and them Armaan stood up pulling Riddhima along with him... When Armaan was moving out from the bontique, Riddhima asked where they were going...
'Main jaanta hoon tumne kal raat se kuch nehi khaya... Pehle breakfast karte hai phir kaam, mujhe bhi kaam ke liyeh jaana hai but I can't leave my sweetheart hungry to death...' Armaan said locking the door as they move towards his car...
Riddhima smile seeing how much Armaan loves her and care for her... She pray to god in her heart to show this side of Armaan to his father so that he see the real Armaan not the one who media and reports describe in news, newspapers and magazines...
Soon they were in Riddhima favorite cafe' to have breakfast with her lover, they enjoy the little time they got together but they were hiding from his fan's eyes so no one would disturb their private moment... After spending sometimes, Armaan drop Riddhima to her work place before leaving to start his schedule for the day...
A WEEK LATER
After a busy day, Riddhima return from her work to meet Shashank walking in the hall boiling with anger... As usual Riddhima ignore him and try to move to her room but was stop by Shashank who angrily call her name... Anjali was in her room after coming from office, she came out hearing Shashank loud voice booming in the house...
'RIDDHIMA...' Shashank called making Riddhima stood on her step...
'Kahiyeh Dad...' Riddhima said not turning to face him...
'COME HERE WHILE I TALK...' Shashank said in his rise voiced...
'If its about Armaan again, I m not interest to hear anything...' Riddhima said moving again to go to her room...
'SUNNA PADEGA TUMHE... JAB TAK MERE GHAR MEIN REHTE TOH TAB TAK SUNNA PADEGA...' Shashank said...
Riddhima turn hearing those words, neither Anjali was expecting her father to say something like that... Anjali knows if Riddhima get angry, she would leave the house... She was just waiting for the moment and she was willing to leave happily...
'Saaf saaf kahiyeh na Dad, is ghar se nikal jaane koh... Main chali jaati hoon...' Riddhima said...
'MAINE KAHA YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME...' Shashank said...
'KYUN SUNNUN AAPKI BAAT... JAB KI MUJHE PATA HAI AAP ARMAAN KE BAARE MEIN KOI ACCHA NEHI BOL SAKTE...' Riddhima rise her voice equal to her father voice...
'Sis, yeh kiya tarika hai Dad se baat karne ki...' Anjali step in between them...
'Di, stay out of this... Aaj toh faisla hokar rahenge...' Riddhima said...
'Sahi kaha tumne, aaj faisla ho kar rahenge... Aur tumhe mere baat bhi sunna hoga...' Shashank said...
'Kyun sunun mein aapki baat, just because I m your daughter...' Riddhima asked...
'Haan aur main apne bacche koh zindagi galat aadmi ke saat barbaad karne nehi de sakte...'Shashank said...
'Armaan mere liyeh sabse accha insaan hai Dad...' Riddhima said...
'Really, toh phir yeh kiya hai...' Shashank said throwing a newspaper on her face...
Riddhima look at the papers which was all over the floor, Armaan flashing his dimple smile to the camera while she hold his co-star closed to him with his resting on her hips... It was nothing knew for Riddhima, so she just look at Shashank with a calm expression...
'Har koi iske character ke baare mein baat karte hai, jo aadmi kapde ke tarah ldkiya badgalte hai woh kaise meri beti ke saat puri zindagi guzarenge...' Shashank said...
'Jo dikhta hai woh sach nehi hote Dad, shayad aap jaante nehi hai in media aur report walon koh...
Yeh log apne channel aur paper ke trp badhane ke liyeh kuch bhi bakwaas likhte hai... Aur jab Armaan itna famous hai toh yeh toh hona hi ta...' Riddhima said...
'How can you be so sure Riddhima, uske niyat tujhe ya kissi koh nehi pata hoga... What if he try to take advantage of you...' Shashank said...
"Faida utana hota toh kabka uta chuka hota... Aap phirse bhul rahe ho main aur Armaan doh saal se ek dusre ke saat hoon..' Riddhima said...
'Phir bhi, log aise baate nehi karte... He must be a play boy, issiliyeh woh aise har kissi ke saat itni closely picture lete hai..' Shashank said...
'U know what Dad, aapko toh Armaan ke acchai dekhna nehi hai na believe karna hai uspe... Aap ziddi hai toh main bhi aapka hi beti hoon... Maine faisla kiya hai main shaadi karungi toh sirf Armaan se karunga...' Riddhima said...
'Toh meri bhi ek baat sunlo Riddhima, jab tak mere ghar pe hai toh tum Armaan se nehi mil sakte... Aur na main tum dono koh permission aur blessing kabhi nehi dunga...' Shashank said...
'Toh tik hai, main ek minute bhi yaha nehi rahungi...' Riddhima said moving down from the stairs and marching towards the door...
'Riddhima, kaha jaa rahi ho..' Anjali call her moving behind her...
'Jaane doh Anjali, jab akal aayenge waapas aajaenge...' Shashank said moving to his room...
Anjali was helpless seeing most important two person in her life fighting like that... If she was still in the same house, it was because of Riddhima... Anjali knows how much angry Riddhima was and in this temper, she would drive very fast without caring about anything...
Anjali move out to see Riddhima leaving in full speed out from the gate... Seeing her driving so fast, she know how much angry she was... Anjali took out her mobile and dial a number waiting for the person to answer... The call got disconnected and she call again... this time it was answer in third ring...
'Hello...' Anjali said in a worried voice...
DIRECTOR OFFICE
Armaan was in a meeting with his directors and producers about his next coming movie... As his last movie was a hit and getting high trp in film industry, again directors and producers wanted to take him in their next movie... Armaan was willing to sign any contract if he is interest doing the role...
While he was busy, his mobile started to ring... It was on vibration but Armaan sense it and took out to see Anjali name flashing... He ignore first time but when she started to call again, he excuse himself to received the call sensing it might be something important...
Armaan move away from the directors and producers as it was a personal call and he don't want them to hear his conversation... Making sure that no one could hear him, he answer the call to hear a worried Anjali from the other side...
'What happen Anjali, itna pareshan kyun ho...' Armaan asked sensing it in her voice...
'Armaan, please Riddhima koh rokho...' Anjali said as she was about to cry any second...
'Anjali, batao toh kiya huva...' Armaan asked...
Anjali tell him about the fight between Riddhima and Shashank, how Riddhima left in anger... Armaan knows she would need time to calm her down but even he get worried when she drive so speedily without caring about the dangerous roads...
'Don't worry Anjali, main dekhta hoon...' Armaan said cutting the call...
Armaan move to the directors and producers, he tell them they had to end the meeting due to some emergency... As he was not in any contract, they didn't had a reason to stop him so they let go off him asking to inform another date that they could held the meeting again...
Armaan was glad that they easily let go off him without asking any more questions... He agree to inform them as soon as possible and make his way out from the building as he dial Riddhima number... Riddhima phone was ringing but she wasn't answering his call, he call again and again but no answer...
'Lagta hai bohot gussa hai, please god don't let anything happen to her...' Armaan send a silent pray as he zoomed in search of his lady love...
HIGH WAY
Riddhima was driving in full speed not caring about the busy road... She was too much furious with his father that she wasn't thinking what might happen due to her harsh driving... Shashank words were echoing in Riddhima brain making her anger reach to the sky...
Riddhima was so lost in Shashank and her conversation happen few minutes ago, she wasn't aware of the danger which was coming in front of her... Her eyes were surely on the road but her brain was occupied with the happening in her life... As it was dark now, suddenly Riddhima felt a flash light on her eyes making she cover it with her hand...
Next second, Riddhima car was crashed and the track which came towards her car left without caring about the person who was in the car leaving to bleed to death... People started to get crowded in the accident scene, one of the person call ambulance and police...
Group of three guy was trying to open the door of the car to let out the injured person out... Seeing it was a girl, they started to search for her identity but they were unable to get any number to contact to her family...
Just the moment they send Riiddhima to the near by hospital in the ambulance... It was the moment Armaan car stop not far from the scene seeing the crowd... Armaan heart started to beat fast as he move out to see what has happen... The moment Armaan see the car, he recognized it was Riddhima's...
'Jo car mein ta woh kaha hai...' Armaan asked one of the person in the crowd...
'Abhi ambulance pe hospital legaye hai...' Man inform...
Armaan asked which hospital and next second he was zooming towards the hospital the man said his Riddhima was taken... Tears started to form in Armaan eyes, imgaine Riddhima states at the moment... As soon as he reach, he run inside asking the first person about the girl who had just bring there...
Nurse inform Armaan that she had been taken to OT, without waiting he run towards the OT dialing Anjali number... Armaan saw the light outside the room was on and he walk restlessly outside the room waiting for doctor or nurse to come with news of his lady love...
Anjali answer in the first ring, Armaan asked her to come as soon as possible... Anjali knows something serious must have happen, so without asking any question she cut the call... Armaan look towards the OT glass door to see doctors and nurses working inside behind the screens...
Tears were continuously falling from his eyes as he pray for his love, remembering about his parents Armaan next call them informing that Riddhima was in hospital due to the accident... As he would be needing a shoulder, he knows they deserve to know about his love condition...
As soon as Shashank and Anjal arrived, they started to question Armaan who has no idea how the accident happen... Police has reach to the accident scene but they haven't come to the hospital knowing Riddhima was in OT... Nurse came asking to filled the form which was necessary before the operation start, Shashank sign it as he walk one end to other waiting for the doctors to come out with news of his daughter...
After Shashank and Anjali came, in short time Karan and Nandini also reach... As soon as Armaan saw them, he went and hug them who rubbed his back telling him to be strong for their Riddhima... Armaan break the hug while Nandini went to Anjali and Karan went to Shashank...
Anjali was silently crying, as soon she saw Nandini she hugs her and cry as she was missing her mother a lot today... Imagine Riddhima condition, she couldn't help but think about the day their mother left them forever... All this years, Anjali has rise Riddhima like her own kid and thinking her condition, she couldn't help letting those tears fall from her eyes...
Shashank also was feeling very bad to see his daughter fighting for her life, he knows somewhere it was his fault that today Riddhima was on this condition... Tears were beeming in his eyes, Karan stood close to him putting his hand on Shashank shoulder...
'Chinta mat karo Shashank, Riddhima bitiya bohot strong hai...' Karan said supporting him in this hard time...
Shashank just nodded his head not able to say a word, his eyes were focusing on the OT door... They waited not having another option than waiting as the doctors and nurses were attending Riddhima... They were eager to know about Riddhima condition but no news were given by any nurses that was moving in and out every then and now...
AFTER 3 HOURS
After a long operation, doctor came out with a satisfied smile... They inform Riddhima was out of danger, but very weak... They had put plaster on her left hand and leg due to miss place of bones and scratches in it... Doctor inform that she would be shifted to ICU for the night as they wanted to keep her under observation...
Doctor said one can stay with the patient and don't lose hopes, she would gain conscious the following morning as she has been injected to sleep the whole night... Anjali and Armaan thank the doctor as he gave a smile to them and left the family to get hold of themselves after knowing condition of their family member...
Soon Riddhima was shifted to ICU, everyone move and look at her who was attach to the machine and oxygen mask on... Tubes were attach to her right hand while her left hand and leg were kept on pillows... Nurse were inside the room checking the machines...
'Bohot raat hogaye hai, ab hum chalte hai... Kal aaungi Riddhima koh dekhne subah...' Karan said as they were sure now Riddhima was out of danger...
'Ji uncle, aaplog ghar jao... Main Riddhima ke saat rukhti hoon...' Anjali said...
'Nehi Anjali, main rukhta hoon... Tum ghar jaakar araam karo...' Armaan said..
'Koi zarurat nehi hai, main apne beti ke paas rahunga...' Shashank said...
'Dad, aapko rukhne ki zarurat nehi hai... In sab aapke wajahse huva...' Anjali said...
'Anjali beti, yeh tum kiya...' Shashank was cut by Anjali...
'Sahi keh rahi hoon Dad, maine itni din aapse kuch nehi kaha...
Lekin aaj Riddhima koh is haalat mein dekh ke mujhe kehna pad rahi hai... Aap Riddhima ke saat nainsaafi kar rahe ho, aapne jo kiya, jo kaha uski wajahse Riddhima ghar se nikal gaye...
Dad, mom ke jaane ke baad maine Riddhima koh ek behen ki tarah nehi, ek beti ke tarah phala hai... Aaj usse kuch hojate toh main aapko kabhi maaf nehi karenge...' Anjali said...
'Anjali, kaise baat kar rahe ho...' Armaan said...
'Please Armaan, yeh baap beti ka maamla hai... Pita ki ek zidd ki wajahse aaj uski ek beti maut ke muh se waapas aayi hai...' Anjali said..
'Anjali, u trust me na... Please tum Shashank uncle koh lekar ghar jao... Subah tak main wait karta hoon, waise bhi Riddhima puri raat sone wali hai injection ke wajahse...' Armaan said...
Knowing Riddhima would need her sister when she gain sense, Anjali agree to leave and she took Shashank along with her not wanting to let him stay with her baby sister... Karan and Nandini wait still they left and when they left they face to Armaan who was worried for his love...
'Don't worry buddy, Riddhima jaldi tik hojaenge...' Karan said patting Armaan back...
'Haan Armaan, woh itni jaldi haar nehi maan sakte...' Nandini said...
'I know mom, main itni jaldi aapke bahu koh mujhse dur hone nehi dunga..' Armaan said...
Nandini kiss Armaan forehead and look towards Riddhima as tears were in her eyes seeing their son's love in so much pain... Karan gave a side hug to Armaan and then leave with Nandini telling they will visit next day to see their daughter... When everyone left, Armaan move inside as his eyes was fixed on Riddhima...
Nurse also left checking Riddhima and noting on her chart giving some time for Armaan to be with his lover... Armaan came and sit next to her, still not moving his eyes from her face... Scratches were on her face and arms, Armaan slowly care those marks as tears fall from his eyes without any control...
Whole night Armaan sit holding Riddhima right hand, caring her body trying to make her release from the pain... His eyes didn't move from her a second and sitting like that, he slept resting his head near Riddhima hand... Armaan didn't know when sleep took over his eyes as he want for Riddhima to get conscious...
