An AR FF
PART 17
IN HOSPITAL
As usual Armaan assign duties to everyone and dismiss before moving to his cabin to start his day with a smile on his face... From the day Riddhima enter his life as his best friend, the smile always adore on his lips every morning and every employee was glad they didn't have to face the angry young serious man early morning but the smiling one for a change...
If anyone who weren't happy was Rahul and Muskaan who was given duties together, from the heart they were jumping with happiness but being name as the biggest enemies of each other in front of their friends they just hide the fact and end up bickering in every small matter...
Again when today also they got duties together, Muskaan being the hyper one started to blabber cursing Rahul under her breath for not leaving her alone in even hospital... When they went to the ward, nurse inform that they need to get some injection from store room so not wanting to stay in same room with Rahul, Muskaan told her she will get it...
Rahul first ignore her and started to check his patients letting her get the injection while he write down other necessary information about the progress of each patients in their medications charts... 10 minutes past and Muskaan didn't return, Rahul wonder what happen to but brush out her thought and get back to work...
Rahul wasn't able to concentrate when Muskaan didn't show up in another 10 minutes, asking nurse to keep an eye on their patients Rahul move to the store room to hear Muskaan blabbering something to herself loud enough to hear anyone pass by...
'Us kamine koh hamesha mere saat kyun duty dete ho babaji... Maine hero koh kitni baar kaha mujhe uske saat mat phasa... Ghar pe kiya kam pareshan karta hai yaha bhi peecha nehi chodte...' Muskaan said searching boxes for injections...
Rahul was standing near the door, listening to Muskaan bander while her back was towards him... She wasn't aware of his present so she continue her blabber cursing Rahul for not finding the injections...
'Aur yeh kiya, main usk khankajurey ke baare mein kyun itna soch rahi hoon... Mujhe kiya uska cuty meri saat ho ya na ho... Mujhe apni kaam pe concentrate karna chahiyeh... Pata nehi ab yeh injection ke box kaha pada hai, sab kuch us idiot ke wajahse ho raha hai.. Woh meri dhyan batati hai har kaam se...' Muskaan said climbing on a ladder near the cupboard to get a box above it...
Rahul smile hearing Muskaan words, somewhere Rahul knows that Muskaan also like him or it was more then like but from the starting as they never show the side of love towards each other, it was taking time to accept the truth that they had fallen in love badly...
Rahul move inside to see what Muskaan was up to, he saw Muskaan climb the stairs and her one feet was on the cupboard shelf... Muskaan was trying to reach the box above it but as it was way inside the cupboard, she was not able to reach it...
'Muskaan, kiya kar rahe ho...' Rahul asked seeing she might lose her balance and fall any second...
Hearing Rahul voice suddenly and she wasn't expecting him to follow her, Muskaan lost her balance and fall on the floor... Rahul close his eyes seeing Muskaan fall while Muskaan let out a small scream getting scared of Rahul sudden present...
'Ouchhh...' Muskaan whine making Rahul open his eyes...
Rahul run towards her to see Muskaan rubbing her bum with her eyes closed as if she was really in very much pain... Rahul felt sorry for her and knows he was in danger for scaring her like that but not wanting to leave her in pain, he move close to her...
'Bohot zor se lagi kiya Muskaan...' Rahul asked sitting next to Muskaan on his knee...
Muskaan open her eyes as she was breathing heavily that too very fast as if trying to reduce her pain... She gave a hard glare to Rahul as if asking, ' What you think I m doing on the floor, enjoy the sunset ' wala look making him shut his mouth before she murder him with her bare hands...
'Let me...' Rahul was cut by Muskaan...
'Don't dare touch me Dr. Mallik..' Muskaan said pushing Rahul hand off from her...
'Muskaan, don't be stubborn... U might hurt seriously, let me check once...' Rahul said holding her free hand as her other hand was still rubbing her bum...
'Sab tumhare wajahse huva... Kisne kaha aise achanak aakar mujhe darane koh...' Muskaan asked...
'Aur kisne kaha tumse har waqt mere baare mein sochne koh...' Rahul asked softly...
Hearing Rahul voice, Muskaan mouth got shut as her head shot up looking at him... Both look each other eyes, getting lost forgetting where they were... Rahul slowly make Muskaan stand up and Muskaan whines feeling the pain in her back...
Rahul move her close to him holding her close her waist caring it softly as if he was trying to take away the pain... Muskaan close her eyes feeling Rahul fingers caring her waist and sending an unknown shiver in her spine... New sensation was running in their body feeling each other so closed...
Awhile ago they were fighting and Muskaan was ready to kill Rahul but now, being in Rahul arms Muskaan was feeling it was the safest place in the whole world... Muskaan was having a war between her mind and heart not understanding what was this new feelings which was pulling her close to Rahul...
Rahul was sure with Muskaan every reaction to his touch that even she felt something strong for him just like he do for her... The moment she came in his arms, Rahul didn't want to let go off her and but tell her how precious she is to him in his life now...
Their moment was broke when they heard something fall from outside the store room, making the distance between them not looking at Rahul Muskaan rush out not able to face him... Rahul smile seeing Muskaan flush face thinking his sherni knows how to blush even, he ruffle his head thinking how to tell her and make her as his for the rest of the life before someone else snatch her from him...
CANCER WARD
Abhay was checking some files but his mind was somewhere else... Gunjan who was working with him was checking patients and writing down their progress in their charts saw Abhay lost in his own world... Gunjan understood it was the best moment to talk Abhay and he wouldn't be deny nothing has happen...
So after checking the last patient in the ward and having a friendly talk with him, Gunjan move to Abhay who was sitting near the nurse table lost tapping the pen on the file... Gunjan sit next to him and wait him to realized her present but when Abhay didn't look at her, she fake a cough getting his attention...
Abhay gave a small smile to Gunjan and look back at his file but seeing his expression, Gunjan understood he was not able to concentrate on his work because something was bothering him...
'Pata hai Abhay, Sammy hamesha kehte hai... Humse zyada tum Piyu se close hai and u know what... I guess he is right...' Gunjan said...
'Aisa kuch nehi hai Gunjan, hum sab kitne saalon se ek dusre koh jaante hai... Collage bhi toh saat mein khatam ki na, phir tum aaj achanak aise baat kyun kar rahe ho...' Abhay asked...
'Kyun nehi, ab dekho... Piyu hota toh tum fatafat apne pareshan share karte lekin humse toh apne pareshan share karte nehi...' Gunjan said...
'Aise baat nehi hai Gunjan...' Abhay said...
'Toh kaise baat hai, zara mujhe batao...' Gunjan said...
'Tumne sahi kaha, main aur Piya bohot close hai... Best friend ki tarah lekin ab toh aisa lagne laga hai main usko jaanti nehi hoon...' Abhay said...
'Lekin aisa kiya hogaya tum yeh bol rahe ho ab usko...' Gunjan was cut by Abhay...
'Jab tumhare sabse close dost tumse apne pehchaan chupae, toh tum uspar vishwas kar sakte ho...' Abhay asked...
'Abhay, pehli baat yeh hai Piyu ne kabhi uska pehchaan nehi chupaya...' Gunjan defend Piya...
'Sach chupana jhoot bolne ki barabar hota hai Gunjan...' Abhay said...
'Lekin humne usse kabhi poocha bhi toh nehi uska surname, aur woh apne reason ke liyeh chupaya na... Woh kissi koh hurt karne ki intention mein nehi chupaya...' Gunjan said...
'Jo bhi ho Gunjan, Piya ne woh baat chupake mujhe bohot hurt kiya hai...' Abhay said...
While the conversation was taking in between Gunjan and Abhay, Piya was outside the cancer ward listening to them hiding from everyone eyes... It was Piya who signal Gunjan to talk Abhay as they plan to make him speak out what was going in his mind...
Unfortunately, Piya luck wasn't with her that day... The moment Gunjan and Abhay started to talk, suddenly Armaan came out from OPD after checking a patient to see Piya standing peeping in to cancer ward... Being the head of the hospital, it was Armaan responsibility to check what his doctors and interns do in duty hours...
So seeing Piya outside the cancer ward, when her duty was in Children ward Armaan move to check what was she up to knowing how a big prank star his little sister is... Armaan knows something was cooking on Piya mind seeing she was whispering something to Gunjan when they were in briefing before they left for duties...
Piya didn't see Armaan coming towards her as she was busy trying to hear what Gunjan and Abhay was talking... As they weren't talking too loud, she was not able to hear every single word clearly but she would hear some words they were speaking...
Armaan stood behind behind Piya, peeping over her shoulder to see what she was looking so interestingly at this hour when she should be in her duty... Seeing Gunjan and Abhay sitting and talking while Abhay was holding a file, Armaan thought they were discussing something related to one of the patient...
As they were in their duty station, Armaan didn't feel he needed to check what they were talking about so he tapped Piya shoulder trying to get her attention who just shush not turning to look who it was disturbing her... Armaan smile seeing her action but again tapped this time making sure Piya turn around and face him...
Piya who was too busy trying to hear what Gunjan and Abhay were talking got disturb by a tap on her shoulder... First she shoo the person hoping whoever it was wouldn't disturb her but she was wrong when again she felt another tap on her shoulder... Piya turn around ready to give a earful to the person but rooted on the spot seeing Armaan in front of her caughting her red handed...
Armaan raise his eyebrow asking what was going on to which Piya gave him a sweet smile as she put her fringe back to her ear which was falling over her forehead... Armaan also gave him a sweet smile and hold her arm pulling her towards his cabin who look at the ward as if she was taking away from someone special...
As soon as they were inside Armaan cabin, Armaan close the door so no one would hear what was going inside... Moving to his chair, Armaan look at Piya for explanation but she just stood smiling like a fool showing her white pearls likes teethes...
'Ab aise muskuraate rahenge ya bataenge bhi tum kiya kar rahi ti...' Armaan asked...
'Bhai, main toh bas...' Piya try to make some story but Armaan cut her...
'Don't even try to make some cock and bull story Princess... I m not blind, kuch din se dekh raha hoon mein... Something is cooking in ur that naughty mind...' Armaan said...
'Bhai, ab aapko kiya chupana...' Piya said sitting...
'Mean kuch toh chupaya hai...' Armaan said...
'Nehi na bhai, kuch haas nehi hai but u know Abhay na...
Pata nehi usko kiya huva hai... Jabse usko pata chala main aapka behen hoon, Mallik's family koh belong karti hoon tab se bohot dur dur rehne laga hai... I mean maanti hoon maine chupaya but aap jaante ho na maine aisa kyun kiya...
Har koi Mallik's koh jaante hai, aur main nehi jaante main Mallik hoon issiliyeh log mujhe pasand kare aur dosti kare... Abhay yeh baat koh bohot zyada dil pe laga diya bhai, woh toh bol rahe hai nehi but kuch toh baat hai woh chupa raha hai...' Piya said...
Armaan was surprise to hear what Piya said because few days ago, he had talk Abhay... His mind was working in full speed trying to joint Piya words and Abhay words trying to understand what this might means...
'Ab dekho bhai, jaise aap aur Ridzy best friends hai ab... Main aur Abhay bhi collage time se best friends ta na... Lekin ab woh bohot dur hogaye hai aur mujhe yeh baat accha nehi lag rahi hai... I mean yeh kiya baat huvi, I know maine chupayi woh galat ti lekin itni bhi kiya narazi apne dost se kafa hojate...
Aise tohdina best friend se naraz hojate hai... Mujhe toh bilkul accha nehi lag rahi bhai, aisa lag raha hai meri zindagi mein aisa ek hissa kam hogaye hai jabse woh pehle ki tarah baat karna chod diya... Main toh uske saat pura waqt rehsakti hoon but ab woh dur bhaag te hai...' Piya said with a sad expression...
BACK IN CANCER WARD
Gunjan saw Armaan coming behind Piya so she just let Abhay go back to thinking what he was thinking a while ago... Gunjan try to keep herself busy in the file Abhay was holding and as soon Armaan took Piya away from the ward without entering, Gunjan left a breath of sign...
'Abhay, ismein itna hurt hone ki kiya baat hai tum Piya se baat karna hi chod de...' Gunjan asked...
'Gunjan, baat sirf woh apni identity chupane ki nehi hai... Main bhi chaahta hoon main uske saat pehle jaise rahun... Mera bhi mann karta hai usse baat karne ka, uske saat waqt guzarne ka lekin...' Abhay stop...
'Lekin kiya Abhay, aisa kiya badhal gaye tum khud koh rokh rahe ho...' Gunjan asked...
'Shayad main gabil nehi hoon uske dost kehlane ka... Abhi toh sirf apne pehchaan chupaya hai, shayad aage jaakhe kuch aur baate chupaye toh main sehen nehi karpaunga...' Abhay said...
Gunjan smile understanding the meaning behind Abhay words... Whatever Abhay had said, Gunjan was sure that it was not just friendship but it was more from Abhay side... Even Gunjan think Piya like Abhay more then a friend because she never cry like she had before any of their friend while they were in collage and till now...
'Anyways, in baaton koh koi matlab nehi hai Gunjan...
Hum yaha kaam karne aate hai aur accha yehi hoga hum kaam kare nehi toh Dr. Armaan koh pata chale toh seedhe teen hafte tak rectal exam de denge...' Abhay said trying to smile...
'Yeh baat toh tumne bilkul sahi kaha... Hai toh bohot handsome lekin strict bhi bohot hai jab baat kaam ki aate hai toh...' Gunjan said giggling...
'Issiliyeh bol raha hoon, aise faltu baate mat socho aur kaam pe lago...' Abhay said moving to keep the file on the shelf and leave the ward to collect some reports...
Gunjan look at Abhay retiring figure, her mind was working full speed thinking how to make both realized their feelings towards each other and confess before its too late... She knows, she would need someone help for that and she can always count on Samrat... Deciding to have a talk with Samrat later, Gunjan went back to her duty...
ARMAAN CABIN
Armaan was lost in his own world while Piya was also thinking if Gunjan would be success to make Abhay speak up what's going in his mind... Knowing sitting hear, she can't get any information about Gunjan and Abhay conversation, Piya stood up to leave taking permission from Armaan...
Armaan who was lost in his own world, didn't know when Piya left as his mind was too busy trying to joint Piya and Abhay words... From few days, Armaan was having same feelings towards Riddhima and somewhere he has realizing he was falling in love with her...
Now hearing Piya words and remembering Abhay words which he had tell few days ago, Armaan understood that Abhay was talking about his sister... Knowing Abhay was a good guy and will keep her princess happy, Armaan was very happy but his happiness press break realizing they haven't realize their love for each other yet...
'Koi baat nehi, tumhara bhai haina Piyu baby...
Dono bhai koh peeche chodke behen aage nikal gaye... Apne liyeh ladka dhund liya...
Ab toh dono koh realize karwane ka kaam mera... Aur kiya karna hai main jaanta hoon, after all I m a good cubic in every love story...' Armaan said pulling his shirt collar...
IN TERRACE
It was evening time and sun was ready to set, Riddhima was sitting watching the sky as red and orange color was spread around as the day was ready to end welcoming to another night... Anjali and Nikki has left an hour ago as they were having guest in house for dinner, Riddhima wait as she was having duty but after finishing checking her patients which was line up for the day, she came to the terrace as she wants to spend sometimes alone before going back to home...
Riddhima eyes were fixed on the sky but her mind was busy replaying the conversation she had with Armaan the previous night about telling the truth to Anjali about Siddhant... After coming Mumbai leaving her home town, she never thought she would be able to trust any guy so easily but in few months Armaan had make the special place in her heart that she has never given to anyone, not even Nikki in her whole life...
Riddhima was comparing Armaan to every other guy she had met in her life so far, don't know why but Armaan was having something that Riddhima was getting attract towards him like magnet... Riddhima has dated many guy so far, but she had never met anyone like Armaan...
Who had first become her friend, that too so dear one that she was so much comfortable with him that she never think before speaking and sharing anything with him... Also Armaan understand her so well that, she don't need to speak... Riddhima herself is like an open book to him that he could read and understand how she felt by looking at her...
Sometimes Riddhima think, Armaan is more then a friend... The way he treat her, take care of her, support her in every hard situation in her life till now, the respect she has for in her heart for Armaan it was growing day by day...
Riddhima herself wanted to spend more time with him, always be around him... She never get bore hearing his talks and she was loving his company like she never did in her life ever... Sometimes she feel amaze to share such a comfortable relation with Armaan that being so close him, she didn't feel uncomfortable like she felt being with Siddhant...
Thinking of Siddhant, Riddhima started to feel nervous again... Like Armaan said, will Anjali believe her or will not believe just like their father... Riddhima knows, her mother, Nikki and Armaan will be always by her side in this truth that Siddhant is not a good guy for her or any girl...
Will Anjali also hear out Riddhima reason for running away from house and breaking relation with Siddhant or just blame her for not disobeying their father... Will Anjali believe Riddhima words about Siddhant being bad guy and trying to force himself on her before marriage because he wants her body not anything else...
Riddhima close her eyes trying to calm down herself when Armaan face flash in front of her eyes... Unknowingly smile form in her lips thinking about him and his words... Riddhima got her strength and confidence seeing Armaan on glimpse, she make a promise to herself that she would tell Anjali the truth about Siddhant and not hide anything from her friends because they all deserve to know the truth about her life...
Riddhima thoughts were disturb as her mobile started to ring flashing Anjali name, leaving a relief breath Riddhima answer informing her that she will reach in ten minutes as Anjali shoot several questions from the other side asking Riddhima whereabouts...
Making herself prepare for what might be happening after Anjali knows the truth, Riddhima left the hospital with a calm heart praying to god that whatever happen give her strength to face the worst in her life again... Riddhima knows Anjali loves her but when it comes to their father, she don't know why but there was a chance that she might not believe her words...
DELHI
Shashank was walking in his office trying to contact someone through mobile but the number keep getting cut every minute it get connected and he was getting furious not understanding what was happening to the network... After trying one more time, Shashank throw his mobile on the table letting his body fall on his chair as he care his temple...
Sitting like that lost in thought, he stood up moving to the cupboard which was kept in his cabin which has the records and other important document about clients, employees and his enemies too... Shashank started to search for something hurriedly, his temperature was going high not finding the file he wants...
He move back to his desk, call his PA to his cabin urgently... The very next second he put the phone down, a soft knock was heard and Shashank ask his PA to come inside who was about his early 40's guy...
'Yes Sir...' He asked politely...
'Where is the green file I have kept in that cupboard at the first shelf?'Shashank asked...
'I haven't move any file without ur permission Sir...' He said in a small voice hearing Shashank angry voice...
'Can u search it urgently, in confidential...' Shashank said calmly knowing it was no used getting angry on others due to someone else...
'Sure Sir...' He said moving to the cupboard hurriedly to find the file and leave before Shashank fire him...
In ten minutes, Shashank PA found the file and hand it over to him... Shashank signal him to leave who just rush out not needing to be tell twice... When he was again alone in the cabin, he go through the file but he was disturb by his mobile ring tone...
'Kaha margaya ta, Kitni der se call kar raha hoon...' Shashank blast on the phone to the person...
'Sorry Sir, woh kuch kaam mein busy ta toh..' He was cut by Shashank...
'Damn with ur explanation Mehta... Listen to me carefully, I need u to get every single, single means single information about the MALLIKS...' Shashank said...
'Sir, there are many Malliks...' Mehta said...
'I want to know every single thing related to KARAN MALLIK and his family... Get that straight Mehta, every single thing... Turn over each and every stones, get me information about the Mallik's...' Shashank said...
'But Sir, Karan Mallik has been dead over...' Mehta was cut by Shashank...
'I know he is dead but I wanted to know about his family because I don't give a damn if Karan is alive or not...' Shashank said...
'Okey Sir, I will get back to you as soon as possible with every single information I get related the Mallik's...' Mehta said...
'U have 48 hours Mehta, I want fulll biography of the Mallik's on my hand before 48 hours...' Shashank said...
'Okey Sir, I m on it...' Mehta said...
Cutting the call, Shashank look at the file smirking thinking what if he was right about the Mallik's... Then as he remember what Mehta said about there being so many Mallik's, Shashank thought maybe it was some other Mallik's Siddhant was talking about...
Leaving the matter till Mehta call him with the news about the Mallik's, Shashank put the file inside the table cupaboard keeping it safely locking it so that it would be easy for him not to ask his PA for help again to find it... Then he went back to read some project file letting his man's work while he take care of his business...
GUPTA HOUSE, MUMBAI
By the time Riddhima reach, everyone was presenting other then the guest of honor who was Siddhant... Anjali shoot her with several questions the moment she enter the house but Nikki came to her rescue asking to get fresh up and change before Siddhant come...
Making a face and rolling her eyes, Riddhima went to change just the sake of being a good host to their guest for the night... Anjali was on her heels, making everything perfect as if someone was coming their house for the first time...
Muskaan was helping Anjali while Atul was walking behind her, Abhi was sitting with Rahul in the hall both watching football match... Armaan and Nikki were just standing looking around while others move here and there... Piya didn't come as she said she was too tired and would feel left out in between them... Gunjan and Samrat was having dinner with their family while Abhay was out with his some other friends...
'Anjy yeh sab kyun kar rahi hai...' Armaan asked...
'Being a good host, aur jabse pata chala woh idiot Uncle ke dost ka beta hai tabse pagal hogaye hai yeh...' Nikki said...
Armaan know like Riddhima, Nikki wasn't happy with all this but she can't say anything because Riddhima haven't said a word to Anjali yet about Siddhant... Armaan put his hand around Nikki shoulder making her look towards him...
'Don't worry, aaj Munchkin sab kuch bata denge Anjy koh... Phir tumhe bhi sabke saamne pretend karne ki zarurat nehi padenge...' Armaan said...
'Are u sure Armaan...' Nikki asked...
'Of course Niks, don't u trust ur best friend...
Waise bhi hum jaante haina Siddhant kitna bada kamina hai... Woh apna kaminapan dikhaye, usse pehle Munchkin koh sabko sach bata dena chahiyeh...' Armaan said...
'I m glad u make her agree to tell Anjy the truth... Pata nehi Anjy kaise react karenge...' Nikki said...
'Jaise bhi react kare, ek na ek din Munchkin koh usse sach batani hai... Aur jitna jaldi ho sake, utna behtar hoga...' Armaan said...
'Guess u r right Armaan...' Nikki said...
'Ah haan Niks, Armaan Mallik is always righttt...' Armaan said winking at her and pulling up his collar...
Nikki gave a smash on Armaan arm laughing at his action, Armaan also laugh as Nikki left to check if Anjali need any help... Armaan look around to see Abhi and Rahul still busy in the football match, he wait for Riddhima but seems like she was taking so much time...
RIDDHIMA ROOM
Not being in mood to get ready like she used to do, Riddhima change to a simple loose top and jeans, pulling her hair in to a messy ponytail... Riddhima didn't feel to put any make up and just sit near the study trying to read a file hoping that they would forget about her and carry on with the dinner...
She was disturb by a knock, Riddhima wondered who it was as normally Anjali and Nikki wouldn't knock just bang in and if it was Abhi, he would call without knocking... As she has locked the door to change seeing others present in the house, Riddhima open the door to see Armaan...
Armaan was standing leaning his body over the door frame... The moment Riddhima open the door, Armaan was lost in her seeing how beautiful she was looking in that simple top and jeans without any make up and her hair tie in to messy ponytail...
Riddhima rise her eyebrow seeing Armaan lost in her, she felt her cheeks turn its color but trying not to let him know his gaze is effecting her she fake a cough bringing him back to the world... Armaan move his gaze looking here and there, ruffling his hair for getting caught for checking out her like that...
'Yaha kiya kar rahe ho...' Riddhima asked...
'Kyun, main ab apne Munchkin se bhi milne nehi aa sakte kiya...' Armaan said moving in without asking for permission...
'Armaan, sab neeche hai, tum upar kyun aagaye...' Riddhima asked..
'Main kabse Armaan bangaye tumhare liyeh...' Armaan asked...
'What...' Riddhima said not understand what he mean by that...
'Kidding, woh main neeche bore ho raha ta issiliyeh socha dekhlun tum itna time kyun laga rahi hai...
Kiya kar rahe ho???' Armaan ask looking around...
'Kuch nehi...' Riddhima said leaving the door open and moving inside...
'Jhooti, file pad rahe ho aur bol rahe ho kuch nehi...
Ek second ke liyeh maze karo Munchkin, kitni boring hone lage ho tum...' Armaan said...
'Main aur boring...' Riddhima asked...
'Aur nehi toh kiya... Yeh socho, kitni din se humne koi pranks nehi khela...' Armaan asked...
Riddhima look at Armaan as if he has gone crazy, Armaan smile knowing he was successful making Riddhima mind taking off from Siddhant matter for the moment... He knows she was feeling nervous to talk Anjali about Siddhant, thats the reason she was keeping herself busy in work..
'Aise mat dekho, I know humein mature behave karna chahiyeh but kissi koh toh bacche kaisa bhi behave karna chahiyeh na...' Armaan said winking at her...
'Tum pagal hogaye ho Armaan, kiya bol rahe ho...' Riddhima said...
'Tch tch, ab tum buddi bhi hogaye kiya... Tumhe samajh nehi aa rahi main kiya bol raha hoon...' Armaan said...
'What, what did u call me just now Armaan Mallik..' Riddhima asked...
'Buddi, as old woman... U know old woman Munchkin...' Armaan said irritating Riddhima...
'U r so dead Mr. Mallik...' Riddhima said running behind Armaan who run out from the room to save his life...
Armaan and Riddhima run all the way down to the hall, in front of Abhi and Rahul who was shouting not to cross as they were blocking the television... Armaan and Riddhima didn't give heed to them as they continue running, before Riddhima could get hold of Armaan the bell rang and in absent minded, Riddhima go and open the door breathing heavily due to all the running...
Seeing who it was Riddhima move inside letting the door open but not inviting the person who was standing outside... Anjali and Abhi came to welcome their guest while Nikki just stood in the hall not wanting to welcome him... Riddhima also move inside joining Armaan who was sitting one of the couch trying to catch his breath...
Seeing Riddhima turning with a sulken face, Armaan understood Siddhant must have come... Anjali wasn't happy with Riddhima action but didn't say anything because Siddhant was already waiting, Abhi didn't find anything different so he went forward welcoming Siddhant with a friendly hug...
Muskaan came out from the kitchen follow by Atul who join Rahul, Muskaan stood next to Nikki not looking at Rahul after what happen in the store room in morning, Muskaan had been running away from Rahul whenever they came face to face...
'So nice to have you Siddhant, come in...' Anjali welcome Siddhant, who move inside looking to see where Riddhima has gone...
Seeing Riddhima sharp breath when she open the door, her hair mess and wearing those simple cloths Siddhant was wondering what she was up to... Her expression change as if she has forgotten he was coming and was not at all interest to welcome him ever in her life...
'We was wondering if u was planning to come or not...' Abhi said as they make their way inside...
'Guys, dekho Siddhant aagaye hai...' Anjali call...
Rahul, Atul and Armaan stood up greeting him while Muskaan said a cheerful hello and Nikki just said a small hi with a forceful smile on her lips... Riddhima was still sitting on the couch not at all interest in meeting with Siddhant, the moment Rahul left the remote she hold it changing the channel...
'Ridzy, Siddhant koh hi toh bolo...' Anjali said not believing Riddhima behavior towards Siddhant...
'Di, hi bolne ki kiya baat hai... Waise bhi aapki guest hai, aapne usse welcome kiya na...
Hum pehle bhi bohot baar mil chuke hai right Siddhant...' Riddhima said not looking at anyone else but to the television screen while changing the channels...
'Still Ridzy, he is our guest for the night... Dad ke friend ka beta hai, where is ur manners Ridzy...' Anjali said...
'Common di, hoga kissi ki dost ka beta... Lekin iska yeh matlab nehi na main baar baar usse milke hi hello bolenge...' Riddhima said...
Everyone was amaze to see this change behavior of Riddhima, even Nikki was surprise because she wasn't expecting Riddhima to answer back Anjali like that knowing how much she respect her elder sister... Seeing if the conversation keeps going on, it would lead to a hot argument Armaan thought to interrupt...
'Anjy, hi hello toh hoti rahenge na... Chalo khana khate hai, bohot bhuk lage hai...
Main toh yaha aane ki chakkar mein lunch ke baad kuch khaya bhi nehi...' Armaan said...
'Bhuk toh mujhe bhi bohot laga hai... Baate toh khane ke baad bhi ho sakte haina...' Atul said supporting Armaan...
'Haan chalo, sab khana khate hai... Ridzyy???' Nikki call...
'Tum log jao, mujhe bhuk nhi hai...' Riddhima said...
'Yeh kiya baat huvi Ridzy, sab saat khana khane jaa rahi hai... Tum bhi chalo...' Anjali said...
'Di, mujhe sach mein bhuk nehi hai...' Riddhima said not wanting to sit anywhere around Siddhant...
'Ridzy, tu bacchon jaise behave kyun kar rahe ho...' Anjali asked...
'Aapko jo sochna hai socho Di, lekin main nehi aa rahi...' Riddhima said...
'Ek kaam karo, tum log chalo main Munchkin koh lekar aata hoon...' Armaan said...
'Pata nehi is ladki koh kiya hogaya hai...' Anjali said not happy with Riddhima behavior...
Anjali left to the dinning area, Abhi took Siddhant with him... Rahul and Atul follow them while Nikki and Muskaan went to help Anjali to bring dishes from kitchen as they had kept everything ready...
'Chal Munchkin, khana khate hai...' Armaan said pulling Riddhima hand...
'Armaan, mujhe sach mein bhuk nehi hai...' Riddhima said...
Armaan sit next to Riddhima who was looking at the television but not interest at all... Armaan knew why she was denying to have dinner and how could he let her stay hungry... He look at her face closely and understood even he hasn't had anything after lunch...
'Tik hai, phir main bhi nehi khaunga...' Armaan said folding hands on chest...
'Armaan, jaakhe khana khalo...' Riddhima said...
'Aise kaise, jab mera best friend bhuki hai toh main kaise khana kha sakta hoon...
Nehi nehi, main nehi khaunga...' Armaan said...
'Stop ur drama Armaan and have ur dinner with others...' Riddhima said...
'Munchkin, please have dinner with me not anyone else...' Armaan said...
'Armaan main...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan...
'Munchkin, main jaanta hoon tum kyun mana kar rahe ho...
Tum aisa karonge toh Siddhant koh lagega uska yaha aana abhi bhi tujhe takleef pocha sakta hai... Aur wohi toh woh chaahta hai, tumhe takleef ho... Tum usse aur uske harkat koh na bhoole, wohi toh chaahta hai woh...' Armaan said...
Riddhima look at Armaan while her mind was thinking about his words, he was right... Riddhima denying and staying away from everyone show how weak she is to face him still and how can she let that happen... How can she let Siddhant think, his present is still her weakness...
Without saying another word, Riddhima stood up and left to join other in dinner... Armaan smile seeing Riddhima moving towards dinning area, he knows he was successful making Riddhima understand she can't be weak in front of Siddhant, not now when she is so near to tell the truth to Anjali...
Dinner was a loud affair, everyone was talking to Siddhant asking about his work, favorites, likes and dislikes... Also about his relation if he is committed or not... If anyone who was talking to him was Riddhima and Nikki who was busy in each other or Riddhima busy making conversation with Armaan who was sitting next to her...
Siddhant try to talk Riddhima two three times but she ignore and Anjali was closely watching this new behavior of Riddhima towards their guest... Riddhima was laughing and talking with everyone else leaving Siddhant...
After dinner, they sit to have coffee but soon Siddhant got a call and he had to leave... As it was getting, Armaan, Rahul, Muskaan and Atul also left bidding bye... Armaan signal Riddhima to call him knowing Anjali will confront Riddhima tonight for sure her change of behavior...
Riddhima blink her eyes telling him she would and she would handle everything with Anjali... Armaan knows Nikki is there to support Riddhima and if Riddhima need any help anytime, he could come... Hoping everything go in Riddhima favor, Armaan left with others...
The moment everyone was out from the house, Anjali face Riddhima who was going to her room... Nikki was in the kitchen to keep the coffee mugs in the washbase while Abhi sit to catch the headline of the match as he has missed it...
'Ridzy...' Anjali call Riddhima...
Riddhima close her eyes knowing it was time, time to face the her sister and tell the truth about her behavior towards Siddhant... She behavior like that so Anjali asked her and she could tell the truth thinking it would be easy but now she was again feeling nervous...
Anjali move towards Riddhima who slowly turn to face Anjali who was standing with her hand fold on her chest as if asking for an explanation for her behavior... Riddhima smile and was waiting for Anjali to ask as her voice was not coming out from her mouth...
'Kindly explain what is with u Ridzy...' Anjali asked...
'Mujhe kiya huva hai Di...' Riddhima asked innocently...
'Don't act innocent Ridzy, maine dekha hai tum Siddhant ke saat kitne coldly behave kar rahi ti...
Whats the problem Ridzy, aur mujhe sach sunna hai...' Anjali said...
Riddhima knows it was the best time to tell her the truth about Siddhant, so closing her eyes and leaving a deep breath, Riddhima open her eyes preparing herself to speak out the truth which she thought she wouldn't be telling Anjali, not at least this soon...
'Di woh...' Riddhima voice got stuck in her throat...
'Woh what Ridzy... Aahir problem kiya hai tumhe Siddhant se...' Anjali asked rising her voice...
'Siddhant accha ladka nehi hai...' Riddhima said...
'Tumhe kaise pata woh accha ladka nehi hai...' Anjali asked...
'Kyunki maine usse pehle bhi milchuka hoon...' Riddhima said...
'Kab...' Anjali asked...
'Jab Papa ne meri aur uske shaadi karne ka faisla kiya...' Riddhima said...
'What...' Anjali said...
'Haan di, main Siddhant se pehle bhi mil chuki hoon... Ek baar nehi, bohot baar kyunki papa chahte hai main usse shaadi karun... Pehle maine bhi maangayi lekin jab uska niyat pata chala main mana kardi...' Riddhima said...
'Kaise niyat...' Anjali asked...
'Di woh, mujhe raped karne ki koshish ki... Usko mujhse shaadi nehi karna ta, mere saat ek raat...
Mujhe toh bolne bhi sharam aati hai lekin maine yeh baat Papa se bhi kaha... Lekin usse pehle Siddhant ne Papa koh kaha main usse milne aati nehi, usse wait karwata hoon...
Di, main delhi se yaha mumbai issiliyeh aayi hoon kyunki main us ghar mein nehi reh sakte jaha meri khud ki papa mujhse zyada kissi aur ki baat pe vishwas kare... Papa ke wajahse main yaha aayi hoon kyunki papa zabardasti meri shaadi usse karwana chaahta hai...' Riddhima said...
Silent was around the house, hearing Anjali and Riddhima argument Nikki and Abhi has also come to see why two sister were arguing... Whatever Riddhima said, it was nothing new for Nikki but Abhi was amaze to hear Riddhima words...
Silent was broke by the clap sound, everyone look at Anjali who was clapping her hands as if Riddhima has made a good speech... Nikki and Abhi were surprise with Anjali action but somewhere in Riddhima heart, she felt that Anjali wouldn't believe her words when she speak about their father...
'Wah, Ridzy... Kitna accha kahani sunaya hai tumne...' Anjali said...
