||PART 2||
Zid yeh thi tumhein,
Ki hum bhi kuch kahein,
Hamein yeh gila that ki tum,
Chup rahe... He was about to go when she stopped him by holding the hem of him shirt. He so wished her to stop him. He wanted to hear what he wnats but he knew that he wouldn't be able to so soon. He turned slowly. He looked back at her. She came closer to him and then whispered in his ears "One On One BasketBall match" and then winked. He looked at her and then agreed. They played, with once ball with Ridhima and the other time with Armaan. In between the game they came closer but kept their distances. How much she wanted to be close to him, she couldn't. She couldn't let others blame Armaan. She clearly remember the conversation which made her clear of all the happenings. She couldn't do much but save her and Armaan's unsaid love and Armaan's dignity. She couldn't let anyone finger in the purity of their relationship. As soon as the game stopped both were out of breathes with a tie. They were in no state to stop the game but a call disturbed their game. Where Armaan went to attend the call in the changing room, Ridhima went on the stairs to sit and sat. Clearly its raining but she knew it was noy just rain, but tears of agony and pain. Her vision blurred but not because of Rain drops but her tears. She knew that he was not there for now, and except him no one could make difference between those tears and rain drops and so letting her tears fall, she thought about the conversation she heard that day , in between the wedding preperations of her di and Atul's wedding. "Padma I saw, the feeling in her eyes." Shashank spoke in agony "So what Shashank, I had also seen them Armaan's eyes. We should be happy" she said confused
"No padma, I don't want her to again destroy her medical career. Maine bhi dekha hai un dono ki aankho mai ek dusre kai liye feelings. Jab Ridhima ayi aur peeche sai Armaan nai usse awaaj lagai, maine dekha kaise dono ek dusre ko dekh rahe thai." He spoke worriedly "Shashank aap kaisi baatein kar rahe hai, Armaan toh itna acha ladka hai..Aap pehle bhi toh un dono ki shaadi kai liye maan gaye thai, toh ab kyun nahi?" She asked him back "Kyunki he is a distraction, jo ladki khud cheat nahi karti thi, usne kisi aur ki sheets badli" he shouted back Ridhima heard it all from behind the the door. She closed her eyes letting tears fall. "Shashank please, aap Ridhima ki khushi nahi dekh sakte jab wo ek dusre ko dekhte hai." She spoke getting angry "Padma...Bass maine soch liya hai hum Ridhima ko rokne ki bajye bhej denge, wo bachi hai, uski khushi usse jyada hume pata hai" he spoke holding Padma's shoulders Ridhima closed her eyes, listening all this. "Why don't they understand that mai bachi nahi rahi. Apne sahi aur galat ki pehchaan hai...Papa kai hisaab sia Armana sahi isliye nhai hai kyonki wo unki choice nhai hai. Kya meri koi choice nahi hai?" She thought. "Shashank mai bhi uski maa hun...mujhe pata hai, Ridhima kiske saath khush hai aur Armaan ek bohut acha ladka hai" Padma said shrugging him Ridhima cleared her eyes. It was high time. She couldn't let her Mom and Dad fight, just because of her.
She came inside the room and said "Mom, Dad...I will go back after the wedding, on the night itself. I don't want to stay here. Mere patients hai waha." She spoke with a straight face not letting both know that she said it all after listening to them. "But Ridhima beta..Are u sure..matlab yaha aane sai pehle you were saying that you will come and think of staying here" Padma asked caressing her head "Yeah Mom..M sure. Common papa ..mom lets go. Di is waiting for you outside. We are going to shopping" And then they leaves.
She turned back and cleared her eyes and as turned faced Armaan but left without glancing more. Yeh Majobooriyan
Aur yeh faaslein,
Chaha nahi phir bhi badhte gaye Her trance broke with the shrill voice of her mobile. She quickly went to the changing room and came back with the phone between her shoulders and ears since she was drying her hairs. The world stopped as her eyes met with Armaan who was setting her hairs. Both of them mesmerized by each other. "Hello...Hello..Behri ho kya" The trance broke as she heard Sid's voice. "Oh just shut up...Tumne falatu mai mujhe call kyun kiya..." she asked moving from their but Armaan still could notice the undried layer of tears in her eyes. A arrow pierced his heart. He clearly remember that they cleared their misunderstanding before her departure at the airport, since he was the only one who was free. "Armaan Thnx for dropping me" She said as a flick distured her, not only her but also Armaan's view of her ethereal face. He came closer and made her flick behind her ears, letting hir fingers brush ever so lighty on her cheeks. She closed her eyes feeling his touch and backed off . He took his hand back. "So"
"So" Both of them said at once making them chuckle a little. "Jaa rahi ho?" He asked She nodded "ab airport par isiliye toh ayi hun" "Last time jab jaa rhai thi tab kuch chod kai jaa rahi thi kyunki majboori thi" he said She nodded and then chuckled a little "mujhe kidnap karwane kai liye tumhare aadmi aye thai" "Haan...mere vafadaar hai aur dost bhi isiliye mujhe khud nahi pata tha" he smiled a little "Ab kyun jaa rhai ho?" He asked getting serious "Jana padega..bohut kuch hai mera vaha..majboor hai...Phirse" she said "Jab pehle jaa rhai thi tab bhi toh yahan bohut kuch tha..phir kyun nahi ruki..." he said as tears started forming in their eyes "Jab apne hote hai toh unke liye tum zimmedaari sai peeche hat skate ho..kyunki oata hai wo samjhenge but jab dusre hote hai...toh wo humari responsibility hote hai aur wo aage jaakar humare liye aur humare apno kai rishton par laanchan laga sakte hai. Jo mai nhai chahti. Mereliye mere relation khud sai bhi jyada hai" she said as tears pricked her eyes. He came closer and cleared her face. She closed her eyes letting more tears fall. "Bohut asaan hai kehna...Jo tumne jaane sai pehle kahe thai..." he asked She said no and then said "Aasan nahi bohut aasan hai...Kyunki tum par mera haq tha...Hai nahi" He looked at her and was about to speak but then she continued " wo haq toh sab usi din chale gaye thai jab wo Kada tumko waapis kiya tha." He was in pain. He couldn't bear what she said. That pain came out in anger as he dragged her close and spoke "You are a Liar, Ridhima Gupta. Jhooti ho tum. Sab vaade, kasme, tasweere, yaadeing, sabko jhoota thera gaya. Yaad hai tumne hi toh kaha tha tumhari basket ko tumrai chinta hai bas kisi majboori ki vajah sai nhai arahi...kya ab tumhe chinta nahi hai?" She shrugged him and shouted as she couldn't bear the allegations upon her "Basket mar gayi hai Armaan. Bohut pehele mar chuki hai..usne galti ki aur usse saza mil rahinhai. Kuch kahani adhoori hi reh jaatinhai. We were never meant to be. Please tum chalejao. Mere liye yaha sai jana aur mushkil mat karo please." And he left. She was in tears but as the announcement was made she left. He looked back u till saw her plane fly. He closed his eyes regretting his way of getting things clear. Even, maybe the last memory of hers wouldn't be also so rememberable and cherishable. Maybe she was right "they were never meant to be". He drove the car back. Remembering it all he was in tears but then stood up and cleared his eyes and said to himself "we are, were meant to be. U returned basket aur meri basket nhai mari...You would say urself that you are my basket. I will get back you. I love u and will always do."
Ab joh yeh ehsaas hain,
Yeh joh adhoori aas hain,
Rehne de yunhi inhein,
Jo jasbaat hain... Some Days Later
"Armaan mai tumhe bohut maarungi...Pareshaan karne lage ho" Ridhima shouted on top of her lungs in canteen
"I am all yours maybe" he shouted and laughed
"Yeh dono kabhi nahi sudhar sakte. M happy that both have decided to be friends atleast. In dono kai rote chehre dkeh kar itna more hota tha by god" Nikki said to Abhi
"Wo toh hai. I am happy both atleast fight now" he answered hugging her from waist.
Abhi and Nikki were talking not realising Armaan and Ridhima both heard that. Both of them looked at eachother and smiled and then Arman winked at her making her mouth open wide as both went into the meory lane of 3 days back.
"Arman what do you think of yourself, jo man aye, jab aye karo. Kuch ho jata toh?" Ridhima scolded Armaan as she applied ointment on the burnt.
As parshuram kaka went to his village for somedays Armaan was left alone at home with no one, not even to make his dinner.
"Parshuram Kaka nai kaha tha na ki Armaan khud Kitchen mai mat jana. Agar vo mujhe call karke tumko dehne ko nhai kehte toh najaane kya hojata" She wrathed on him
"Lekin, tum disturb hoti..." he argued
"Shut Up...Armaan tum..tum sajhte kyun nhai ho. Agar mai tim par nahi ati toh..." she couldn't continue anymore as tears fell from her eyes. A long gasp came from her mouth and soon became to hysteria. He came closer to her and cleared her eyes. She closed her eyes and more tears escaped her eyes. His heart pained seein her in this state.
He knew this is the time. High time, only time he cold make her say what hewnaed to hear.
He made her close to himand whispered very near to him "kyun Ridhima..Kyun ro rahi ho?kyun itni chinta hai meri"
She closed her eyes not speaking anything. He drew her more close to himself and asked"tumhari iss khamoshi sai thak chuka hun..kyun yeh jhooti hai hai...aur kitna jhoot boligi..khud sai..apne aap sai."
"A..Ar..Armaan..Please..." she whispered
"Bolo Ridhima...Meri chinta sirf meri basket ko hoti thi...toh tum kyun mwri itna chinta kar rahi ho..bolo Ridhima bolo...Mujhe pata hai tum mujhse sai abhi hhi pyaar karti ho" he spoke caressing her face
"Haan...Armaan Mai Hun tumhari Basket...I..I still love u Armaan. I..I love You" she came forward and hugged him with her all might.
They were sitting with her hand in his and saying nothing but everything. They were having a time of serenity after a long period of time. She told him why she was backing off from accepting for which he promised her that he would marry her, infront of all and with the permission of Dr.Shashank only.
They were sitting together in silence getting solace after a long time. When in between she felt like it was a dream, she turned and hugged him. After a loong time both can get through eacgother's Eyes. Those pearl droplets on the leaves after raining were shining with happiness gazing at those almond shaped orbs having the serenic view of the forest after the demolishing of Mist. They were happy withbthemselves havin a time of togetherness and belonging.
"I..I love U Basket" he said and pecked her on her cheeks
She smiled back and kept her head on his chest near the heart. "Armaan Ridhima ek hai...Ridhima par sirf Armaan ka haq hai aur Armaan par Ridhima ka." She spoke and hugged him. Both continued to feel eace other's touch.

Cont... Mar 6'16
Rehke bhi sang hai yeh juda
Bhulega na kabhi jahan
Hain yeh alag hi daastaan... They both came out of the trance with the announcement. They all get to the conference hall. "Doctors..I know You all must be confused at the urgent call. Good Evening" As soon all settled Dr.Shashank started to speak. "Well we are here to inform that our doctors are called for some great experience in abroad by reowned hospitals. I had given names for few , there is not any boundation, its simply your choice." He spoke with pride. "And so the names of doctors are Dr.Paronita, and Dr.Armaan" and then the world stopped. Ridhima was feeling her world turned upside down and Armaan was shocked. How come the doctor who literally hate him suggest his name. If he would'd wanted, the could have been Anji's or Ridhima but since its his name, this gotta be something to do with his and his love, oh-uh, them and their Love, him and Ridhima. Soon the meeting ended and everyone moved out of the hall."Ridhima" Armaan stopped her and as she turned he was about to speak when Dr. Shashank came. "Ah, Armaan? So this is a big opportunity. Ready for it? Or you need time!" He patted Armaan's back with a smirk. "Uh-oh, Sir I need time. But most probably its a no-no situation." Shashank gased loudly in a yes "Oh-Yeah! Afterall you are getting here everything you want. Right?" And Armaan being confused shrugged. And then Armana left from their making a signal to ridhima to come to fire escape. She was about to leave when Dr. Shashank spoke "Ridhima, I know everything but just let me tell you one thing. If Armaan doesn't get more success in his career than he could then the responsible person will be you. You know that he is capable of doing bigger and if you or because of you he didn't go, you will be the reason. Remember that!"
And he left seeing Ridhima in dilemma. He knew he had hitted the string. He didn't take Ridhima's bame because he knew that Armaan wouldn't get manipulated easily but he knew his daughter will do. Ridhima cleared her eyes and went to the fire escape. As she entered their she was embraced in Armaan's arms. It felt so right. "Basket, I love you and I will never go their." He spoke while hiding his face in her crook. "But you will have to!" "Huh?" "Armaan its your career. We all know you have potential to reach heights. I don't want people to think that our love, me, was the reason for not letting to rise." Armaan lashed anger on her due to getting frustrated "that is the problem!" He dragged her closer to him "Ridhima why do you get so easily manipulated. Everytime you think about the society. Why not us? Please try to understand this. You want me to rise right? Okay! We can do that together!" "Huh?" "Lets call Billy and Mom and we will get our marriage date fixed soon. And then I will take you withme aswell! What say? Is it bringing problem in my career?" He moved back from him and turned around "that will distract you!" He shouted at her"You know what Rihdima? Forget it. I will go their but just because you want me to. You think you distract me? But I don't think so. But then again this relation works on your decision so lets do it too. Your terms, I will go but play it fair. I am in this relationship too, so we will work out long distance. Okay?" She nodded. He sighed and hugged her. "I am sorry Armaan, I am sorry but I can't let you compromise in your career." She mumbled while hugging him and dozed off like that. What these two didn't know was that this was all seen by a pair of eyes, whose eyes shone with tears and happiness. Armana took her to Gupta mansion and then later went to his house. He packed his belongings since he had submitted the acceptance application and filled out the form. And for his packing, without any one would take days. It would'd been so nice if Rahul had been here. He was his guide in such situations. Maybe he helped them all with getting their girls thing. But surely he was the sensible one.
"I'll miss you!" Ridhima exclaimed as both of them were sitting at the airport. "So don't let me go!" He whispered. "Armaan jo nahi ho sakta wo mat socho please, when you will return no matter what I'll be with you, forever which will last till eternity. I love you Armu!" Hearing her Armaan eyes beamed with happiness and he grinned at the later part. He looked amused to which she asked "What?" "What did you say later?" And then she realized and blushed. He pushed her hair strands falling behind her ear and again whispered "Say again!" She said again "I love You Armu!" He grinned again "I didn't know basket that you would give me a nick name, its cute!" "Armaan" she hit on his arms, "stop teasing me" to which he pecked on her cheeks. "You are so cute Basket!" And then the flight announced the arrival and they both looked at each other with tears streaming again. And both mouthed I Love You before turning towards their own paths when she looked backand he punched his heart and pointed towards her and she smiled and kept both her hand on her heart. And smiling both went to their ways.
