HOSPITAL
Armaan was walking in front of OT while Nandini and Priya was sitting outside the OT along with Padma... Anurag, Karan and Shashank were standing few feet's away from them while Shubankar was standing close to Armaan with Raj... Everyone eyes keep going on the red light above the room as they want to hear any news of Riddhima...
The moment Riddhima hit the floor, they had rush her to the hospital, Dr. Sharma accompany them... Dr. Sharma inform Dr. Mehta to keep the OT ready, so the moment they enter Riddhima was taken inside along with Dr. Sharma as he inform that he would take care of her as no relatives would be allowed...
Tears were beaming in every single person eyes who was present there, ladies were crying seeing Riddhima in pain but now somehow they had control... Prashant and Sushant stay back in the home with other ladies and kids, but they keep calling now and then to get any news of Riddhima...
Finally, Shubankar tell them they would call them as soon as they got any news of Riddhima as they didn't get any word from the doctors... Armaan was too disturb to realized what was happening around him, his eyes were moving to the door and wrist watch as he felt an unknown restless inside his body...
After good 30 minutes, Dr. Sharma came out with Dr. Mehta... Seeing their expression, everyone understood something has gone very wrong... Everyone move towards them, Armaan asked about Riddhima... Dr. Mehta look at Dr. Sharma who nodded his head as if saying he would take over from now...
'Riddhima bilkul tik hai lekin...' Dr. Sharma started when Dr. Mehta move letting Dr. Sharma give the news to the family...
'Lekin kiya...' Anurag asked...
'Lekin hum bacche koh nehi bacha saka...' Dr. Sharma said...
As soon as those words came out from Dr. Sharma mouth, Armaan felt everything shattered around him... He felt the ground vanished under his feet as his dreams of taking his baby was crash down till the ground... Nandini and Padma drop their body on the chair not able to keep themselves on feet... Gents were just staring at Dr. Sharma as if he was some kind of creature...
'Aise kaise...' Raj break the silent as no one have the courage to speak...
'Riddhima wombs were already very weak, itni zor se woh ghir gayi issiliyeh bacche koh laga...' Dr. Sharma said...
'Riddhima koh pata hai???' Armaan asked...
'Nehi, abhi usko hosh nehi aayi...' Dr. Sharma said...
'Can I meet her...' Armaan asked...
'Sure Armaan, I want her to rest so I think u all should go home...' Dr. Sharma said...
'Nehi, main yaha rahungi...' Padma said...
'Ma, aap ghar jao... Main hoon Riddhima ke paas...' Armaan said...
'Lekin Armaan, woh bardaast nehi karpaenge...' Nandini said...
'Jaanta hoon Mom, lekin yeh sach koi nehi badhal sakte ab humhare bacchi...' Armaan couldn't say the word as it was giving so much pain in his heart...
Armaan close his eyes letting tears fall on his cheek, Shubankar and Raj gave him a side hug supporting him in this hard time of life... Armaan open his eyes and nodded his head as if telling he was fine... Nandini move towards him, taking him in a motherly hug knowing he would need it to face Riddhima when he reveal the truth of losing their unborn baby...
'Ek raat ki baat hai bahu, kal Riddhima ghar jaa sakte hai...' Dr. Sharma said...
'Kuch bhi chahiyeh toh humein bhul lena Armaan...' Shashank said...
'Ji papa, aap log ghar jaakhe araam karo... Kal subah main Riddhima koh waapas laata hoon..' Armaan said...
Everyone hugs Armaan before leaving, also they went to see Riddhima who was sleeping peacefully not being aware of the happening around her... Armaan move to Riddhima when everyone left, Dr. Sharma went to meet Dr. Mehta to know further status about Riddhima health...
Armaan sit next to Riddhima on the chair near by the bed, he took Riddhima hand holding it softly in his palms... Fresh tears fall from his eyes as it moves on her belly which was empty now... Armaan tears fall on Riddhima hand, making Riddhima move...
Armaan quickly wipes his tears, trying to smile knowing he had be strong in front of her... Riddhima slowly open her eyes as she gain conscious, she try to adjust her eyes to the sudden light and her surrounding not being familiar with the place... When Riddhima was fully conscious, she put her free hand on her belly trying to feel her baby...
Riddhima felt empty from inside and as soon as she touch her belly, she was sure that there was nothing inside her... She look at Armaan who was sitting next to her holding her other hand, tears fall from her eyes realizing they had lost their love bud before it would make it to the world...
Armaan wipes her tears shaking his head asking her not to cry but it was not in Riddhima control now realizing she has lost one of the precious thing in her life before she could see and feel in with hands... Armaan kiss Riddhima hand pressing his lips on her hand and then kiss her forehead, caring her hair...
'Tum sojao tohdi der Riddhima...' Armaan said...
Riddhima couldn't say anything as her voice was block in her throat... She was to scream and cry loudly but seeing the pain in Armaan eyes, she knows its not only her who has lost a life... She knows he was trying to be strong in front of her, so she try to control her tears but was failing to hide it...
Riddhima close her eyes knowing now neither she or he could do anything then accepting this painful truth of their life... Armaan keeps caring Riddhima hair thinking soon she would sleep but Riddhima was wild awake not able to go back to sleep as her heart was paining too much...
10 : 00 PM
After dinner, Armaan make Riddhima took medicine and make her sleep as he knows she didn't get any sleep from the moment she gain conscious... Armaan was sitting on the bed next to her, her head lying on Armaan lap while he care her hair trying to put her to sleep...
After more then an hour, Armaan felt Riddhima was in deep slumber as her hand lose its grip which was holding Armaan as she laid close to him... Dr. Sharma came to see Armaan and Riddhima like that, when Dr. Sharma enter Armaan move Riddhima to the bed making her sleep with her head resting on pillow...
Seeing Riddhima was finally sleeping, Dr. Sharma asked Armaan to come out as he needs to talk about Riddhima condition... Armaan look at Riddhima, not sure if he should leave her or not... Dr. Sharma understood Armaan concern. he patted his back telling him she would be fine...
Soon Armaan and Dr. Sharma was in his cabin as Dr. Sharma tell everything regarding to Riddhima health... As he knows it would the best now or never, as they were going through unbearable pain...
'Armaan, Riddhima ki womb bohot puri tarah damage ho chuka hai... Issiliyeh Dr. Mehta ne kaha hai woh ma nehi ban sakte...' Dr. Sharma said...
'Dr. Uncle, kiya aage jaakar koi chance nehi hai...???' Armaan asked...
'Not possible Armaan, pehle hi uski womb komzor ti... After this accident, its not possible for her to carry or get pregnant...' Dr. Sharma said...
Armaan hide his face on his palm not understanding what to say or do... Everything was crashing down in his life in a short time without realizing how worst storm was on his way... Dr. Sharma felt bad seeing Armaan so helpless but even he has no way to help him out knowing how desperately and Riddhima was waiting for their unborn baby...
'Armaan. I think abhi Riddhima beti koh yeh baat batana tik nehi hoga...' Dr. Sharma said...
'Not even a single person in our family Dr. Uncle... Aap jaante haina, koi yeh baat sehen nehi karpaenge, specially dadaji...' Armaan said...
'I wouldn't leak it to anyone unless u r not ready beta...' Dr. Sharma said...
'Thank you Dr. Uncle, I think I should go now... Riddhima might...' Armaan stop his sentence in mid...
Dr. Sharma was wondering why Armaan stop all of sudden, he look behind him where Armaan gaze was fixed... He saw the person outside their cabin, he felt bad to see tears falling from Riddhima eyes which shows that she has got to know the truth that she wouldn't be able to get pregnant ever again...
Armaan move to Riddhima and took her inside making her sit where he was sitting a while ago... Riddhima was in shocked that she didn't react to Armaan touch or her surrounding... Armaan and Dr. Sharma talk to her but their words were not reaching Riddhima brain as only one thing was roaming around which was recorded deeply...
Dr. Sharma asked Armaan to take her back to room, Armaan took her and make her laid on the bed... Riddhima didn't protest, she just laid staring at the ceiling without blinking her eyes... Neither Riddhima speak a word or close her eyes for a second, she just laid like that as if she wasn't aware of anything around her...
Armaan sit next to her on the bed, patting her hair as he look at her face... It was expressionless, pale as her eyes were bloodshot by crying for long hours... No expression in her gorgeous eyes, it was empty as if her life has come to an end just in a day...
FOLLOWING DAY
Everyone was waiting for Riddhima as Armaan has call a while ago saying now they were leaving from hospital... Everyone was gather around in the hall, their eyes were fixed on the main door as they waited for Riddhima... No one went to the hospital as Armaan deny saying he is going to take Riddhima home soon so it was not necessary...
No happiness were in their face after the lose in the family, they were trying to hold their tears as it keeps forming in their eyes every then and now remembering Riddhima... Their wait came to an end when they heard a car pulling in front of the main door...
'Koi nehi roenge bahu ke saamne... Humko muskuraate usko welcome karna hai na ki dukhi hoke...' Anurag said...
Soon they move to the main door, Armaan was helping Riddhima to come out as she was lost in her own world... From last night, Riddhima hasn't utter a single world, she had breakfast in silent and took the medicine without making any fuss... As they move inside, everyone stood with fake smile on their face...
Armaan and Riddhima took blessing from elders, Riddhima was standing her head lower as she was still on her own world... Anurag care her hair but she didn't react to him as she was looking empty space...
'Armaan, tum bahu koh kamre mein lejao...' Anurag said...
'Lunch tayyar hote toh hum bhulalenge... Riddhima koh araam karne de tab tak...' Nandini said...
Riddhima was like a lifeless body, Armaan took her to their room and she was working like a robot without any expression on her face... Armaan who was trying to talk Riddhima from morning, was waiting for the moment they get alone... He knows its important to make her cry as Dr. Sharma said after knowing she hasn't react at all to any of his talk or anyone else...
'Riddhima, tum kab tak aise rahenge...' Armaan asked as soon as he make Riddhima sit on the bed...
Armaan sit in front of Riddhima holding her hands, she just keep staring their intertwined hands... No words, no actions by others were reaching to her brain... Too much emotions were inside her heart, she was unable to let it out as she didn't understand where to start and where to end...
Armaan knows he had to be calm in this situation, if he wants to make Riddhima speak whats going in her heart and brain, he needs to be patience... As Dr. Sharma has inform Armaan, it would be difficult to make her speak but once she started to pour out whats in her heart and mind, she will started to be herself if not, she would be lock in a shell where it would be difficult to bring her out...
'Riddhima, main jaanta hoon tum par abhi kiya beet rahi hai... Hum dono ne bohot inthizaar kiya hai us din ke liyeh lekin shayad bhagwaan koh manzur nehi ta humein woh khushi mile...
I m glad that nothing happen to you Riddhima, I wouldn't be able to live if anything happen to you... I love too deary to lose u and I would never survive if a single scratch harm you...
Shayad main yeh kabhi nehi jaan paunga tum kitni takleef mein ho, lekin Riddhima tumne kuch khoya hai toh maine bhi kuch khoya hai... Apne aansu koh apne andar mat chupao Riddhima, let it pour out...' Armaan said touching his forehead on their hands...
Tears were falling from his eyes as he sobbed softly seeing Riddhima not reacting and still sitting like a lifeless person... Hearing Armaan words, finally tears started to fall from her eyes... She rest her head above Armaan head as she also sob letting the pain out from her mind and heart...
FEW WEEKS LATER
It seems like Riddhima smile has vanished the day she has lost her baby, she used to do everything around the house... Help everyone like she used to do before, talk normally but her smile was missing... She try to be happy and smile but she was not able to as still somewhere in her heart, still the incident was fresh...
Anurag suggest Armaan to take Riddhima out of country for some days, everyone else agree on this matter and soon AR left to London as Armaan has to go for a month or more due to some business matter... Armaan took Riddhima along with him hoping she would started to smile seeing and remembering the farmhouse where they spend their honeymoon...
Before taking Riddhima to London, Armaan took Riddhima for check up... After check up, Riddhima was waiting for Armaan as he went to take some reports as they were going out of country for sometimes... As Armaan don't want to take any risk, thinking Riddhima get pain while being away so it would be easy if they had all the reports of her...
Riddhima was waiting in the waiting area when her eyes fall on a girl who was talking to a doctor... She was crying while doctor keep asking her to pay the money then only they can save her mother... Girl was trying to make the doctor understand that she can't pay full amount yet but she would arrange it as soon as possible...
Seeing the girl so helpless, Riddhima went near them but the doctor left saying they can't operate her mother unless she pay the full amount... Riddhima felt bad for her, she wanted to help her as she knows how it would be feels to lose someone deary...
Girl was crying, folding her hand feeling so helpless... Riddhima put her hand on her shoulder making her look towards Riddhima... Riddhima smile a little and support her while taking her to the waiting area as it was empty at this time of the day...
Riddhima got a glass of water to her, she gladly accept it but she couldn't have more then one sip, she started to cough badly... Riddhima rubbed her back still she control her cough, Riddhima was sitting next to her waiting for her to control her crying...
'Kitni ajeeb baat haina, jisko help karna chahiyeh woh help nehi kar raha...' Girl said...
'Main tumhari madad kar sakti hoon???' Riddhima asked...
'Aap kyun meri madad karenge... Dekho mere paas aapko dene ke liyeh kuch nehi hai...
Main bohot badnaseeb ladki hoon, meri shaadi kuch din pehle tutgaye... Jis wajahse meri ma koh heart attack huva hai aaj... Abhi nehi lekin main kama ne ke liyeh kuch bhi kar sakti hoon...' Girl said...
'Kuch bhi karenge???' Riddhima asked...
'Haan, mujhe meri ma sahi salaamat chahiyeh... Shayad woh mujhe phirse dekhna pasand nehi karenge, lekin mere paas uske siwa ab koi nehi hai...' Girl said...
'Tumhari naam kiya hai...' Riddhima asked...
'Shilpa...' Girl said...
'Main tumhari madad kar sakti hoon, kyunki mujhe tumhari madad ki zarurat hai...' Riddhima said...
'Main aapki madad kaise kar sakti hoon...' Shilpa asked...
Riddhima took Shilpa to Dr. Sharma., from few days Riddhima was thinking about something but she knows it would be not easy to find someone who would help them... Riddhima didn't tell Armaan or anyone else about this but she knows it was the only way left for them now...
When Riddhima felt Shilpa could help her and in return she would give her any amount she needs... Riddhima took Shilpa to Dr. Sharma thinking Shilpa might not believe her words but once Doctor explain her, she might believe... Dr. Sharma was surprise to see Riddhima as a while ago they had left his cabin...
Seeing Shilpa with her, Dr. Sharma thought she has come to take help for Shilpa... Riddhima talk to Dr. Sharma if Shilpa could help her and Armaan to become parents... Dr. Sharma was shocked as he never thought Riddhima would allowed this but he knows how much even Armaan love to have his own kid...
'Its possible Riddhima, Armaan mein koi problem nehi hai lekin Riddhima... Uske liyeh humein kissi ki help chahiyeh, jo 9 mehnetak tumhari aur Armaan ke baby koh carry kare...' Dr. Sharma said...
All this while, Shilpa sit not understanding what was they talking about but when Dr. Sharma mention they would need someone to carry Riddhima and her husband baby, somewhere she felt what help Riddhima wants from her... Riddhima look towards Shilpa, seeing her expression Riddhima understood Shilpa somehow got the hint what help she wants from her...
'Shilpa, kuch din pehle maine apne bacche koh khoya hai... Is dhuniya mein aane se pehle, woh mujhse dur chala gaya... Main kabhi ma nehi ban sakte lekin main apne pati koh uska khud ki baccha dena chahti hoon... Kiya tum meri aur meri pati ke bacche ki surrogate mother banonge???' Riddhima asked...
Shilpa was dumbfound hearing this, she wasn't expecting anything sort of this but seeing the pain in Riddhima eyes she felt how much broken she was losing her unborn child... As it was a big matter, Shilpa didn't know what to say... She needs sometimes but her mother life was in danger too...
'Tumhe sochne ke liyeh waqt chahiyeh toh main tumhe 24hours de sakti hoon Shilpa... Kyunki doh din baad main aur meri pati London jaa rahi hoon... Main abhi bhi tumhare ma ke operation ke liyeh paise dene ke liyeh tayyar hoon... Tum jab chaaho waapas kar sakte ho...
Lekin tumne mere liyeh meri bacchi ki surrogate mother banne ke liyeh tayyar ho toh main saari arrangement kardungi, saara kahcha bhi utane ke liyeh tayyar hoon...' Riddhima said...
'Mujhe tohda waqt chahiyeh sochne ke liyeh...' Shilpa said...
'Tik hai, yeh rahi meri number... Main tumhare jawab ke liyeh inthizaar karungi...
Chalo mein tumhare ma ke operation ke liyeh paison ka arrangement kardeti hoon...' Riddhima said..
Shilpa was touch by Riddhima help, she thought Riddhima will only help if she agree to her condition but here she wants to help her if she help her or not... Riddhima was trying to save her mother life and in return she was asking to give her and her husband a baby...
When they reach to the counter, they saw Armaan waiting for Riddhima... Seeing Riddhima coming, Armaan left a relief breath seeing she was still in the hospital... Armaan came rushing towards her, hugs her and look at her if checking she was fine or not...
'Kaha gayi ti, pata hai main kitna dargaya ta...' Armaan said...
'Armaan, yeh Shilpa hai, meri dost...' Riddhima said introducing them...
Shilpa was again surprise seeing Riddhima introducing her as Riddhima friend when the truth is they just met few minutes ago... Shilpa knows Riddhima was a nice girl, just little sad due to losing her child and knowing she can never have a kid in future...
'Nice to meet you Shilpa... Chale Riddhima...' Armaan said shaking his hands with Shilpa...
'Ek minute Armaan, woh uski ma koh heart attack huva hai... Operation ke liyeh paise chahiyeh, woh baad mein waapas kardenge tohdi tohdi karke... Kiya aap abhi pay kar sakte hai...' Riddhima asked...
Armaan smile seeing how much Riddhima think about her friends... Armaan agree and ask Riddhima to wait for them as they pay to the operation... Shilpa thank them, but Riddhima dismiss saying it was their pleasure to help her when she is in need of help...
Armaan and Riddhima left asking to inform them if she needs any more help... Shilpa was glad to meet them, seeing both Shilpa understood what might be going through them as they have lost a life... Shilpa keep looking at their retiring figure as they left after helping her to save a life understanding how painful it would be to lose someone closed to ur heart...
TWO DAYS LATER
Armaan and Riddhima reach to airport with Mallik's and Gupta's... Riddhima was smiling after days and everyone thought its because she was going to spend sometimes with Armaan alone... Bidding by to their family, Armaan and Riddhima went inside to security area...
Riddhima was searching for someone while Armaan collect their boarding pass from the counter... Armaan joins her and seeing she alone, he also look around and look at his wrist watch checking the time...
'Kaha hai woh...' Armaan asked...
'Kaha toh yehi milenge, pata nehi kaha rehgaye...' Riddhima said...
They move to the waiting area as Riddhima dail a number hoping she would be coming... Riddhima knows how much hours she took to make Armaan agree about her plan... When finally Dr. Sharma and Riddhima explain him it would be a small process, finally Armaan agree...
'There she is...' Riddhima said smiling...
A girl came out from the crowd, holding a suit case as she look around searching for someone... Riddhima wave her hands getting her attention, smiling she move towards them... Riddhima look at Armaan who was standing next to her looking towards the girl trying to remember where he has met her...
'Armaan, u remember her... Shilpa...' Riddhima said...
'Hi Armaan, I hope Riddhima ne bataya hoga main aap dono ge surrogate mother hoon...' Shilpa said...
'Aap???' Armaan asked...
'Haan Armaan, maine us din Shilpa se baat ki ti jis din hum pehli baar hospital mein mila...' Riddhima said...
'Lekin tumne toh kaha yeh tumhari dost hai...' Armaan said...
'Haan, Shilpa meri dost hai... Maine us din usko dost maan ke madad ki... Badle mein maine usse madad maangi ti...
Tab maine kuch nehi kaha kyunki Shilpa ne waqt maanga ta...' Riddhima said...
'Thank you Shilpa, tum nehi jaante tum humhare liyeh kitna bada ehsaan kar rahe ho...' Armaan said...
'Ehsaan Riddhima ne kiya hai mujhe aur meri ma ke liyeh... Us din Riddhima help nehi karte toh shayad main apne ma koh kho dete... Main aap log ke paisa pata kab puri tarah waapas karpaungi... Aap logo ki madad karna meri farz hai ab, kyunki aap logo ne meri madad ki anjaan hokar...' Shilpa said...
Before Riddhima or Armaan could say anything, they heard the announcement for the passenger to proceed to the boarding gate... They move talking, Riddhima and Shilpa seems like old friends from childhood as they were chatting with anything and everything so freely...
Armaan smile seeing Riddhima smile back on her lips, he had been thinking when he would get to see her smile on back as it had been vanished from the day they lost their unborn child... First he wasn't sure of Riddhima plan but when Dr. Sharma tell him about the proceed, he agree just the sake of Riddhima happiness...
Today, they were going to London with Shilpa... They want to keep Shilpa with them till they get the good news, they want to go with the proceed being close to her, take care of her every second as now she was their responsibility... Riddhima also took care of everything about Shilpa mother before leaving as Shilpa agree to help them...
Armaan thank god for sending Shilpa in their life as he got to see Riddhima smile back on her face... Now even he got a hope that soon they would be parents with Shilpa help... He was ready to give any amount Shilpa wants as she was ready to help them in such huge matter...
FLASHBACK END
Armaan and Riddhima slept holding each other close, Nandini who was with Shilpa came to check them and asked if they need any help... Seeing both sleeping holding each other, smiles on their lips after months she felt over the moon knowing the reason behind their smile...
It was a huge shocked to every single in Mallik's and Gupta's the day Riddhima lost her child... Not only Riddhima's smile fade from her lips, it has taken every single person smile away with it... Nandini joins her hand looking at the ceiling, sending a quick pray to the god, she slowly close the door not wanting to wake up the sleeping duo along with their new born...
THREE DAYS LATER
Now Riddhima and Shilpa was back in home with the new born... Everyone was so happy to welcome the new member, they decorate the whole house, specially AR room adding more stuff for the baby... Smile wasn't leaving from their face, eyes were sparkling with happiness...
All the ladies were taking care of Riddhima and Shilpa, not letting them do any work... Riddhima take the baby to Shilpa, knowing she would want to take the baby in her arms, feel his tiny body... Being the mother, who carry the baby for 8 months, Riddhima understood how much attach Shilpa would be towards him..
Shilpa was very happy to get love and care from Mallik's as well as Gupta's who had been visiting Mallik's every day just to spend sometimes with the new born... She knows it would be difficult to leave but one day she had to leave as she needs to go back to her mother...
The most important reason Shilpa wants to leave was Armaan and the baby... She was afraid that she might get more attach to the baby then it would be difficult for her to leave... Already she has change her mind few days ago just because she wants Armaan all to herself...
Spending almost a year with Armaan and Shilpa, specially Armaan who had been taking a great care of her along with Riddhima, Shilpa never new when a soft corner started to develop in her heart for him... She was so crazy about making Armaan as her, she know it was not possible was the reason she try to leave the house with their baby...
Shilpa knows it would be a crime if she run away like that but she wants to keep something related to Armaan by herself and when in baby shower, Nandini said the baby mother's name is Riddhima Armaan Mallik, Shilpa didn't know why but she didn't feel it every belong to Riddhima...
So now Shilpa thought it was high time she left them to live in peace knowing she can't get Armaan as he loves Riddhima too much and Riddhima wouldn't give her husband to anyone, what if she has to give her baby away... Shilpa realized how deep their love is for each other, as well how pure their heart is...
The moment Riddhima ask the doctor to save her, Shilpa felt the guilt build up in her... Here she was demanding to give her husband to her but she decide to save her life without thinking twice about the baby they were waiting from months...
Shilpa realized love is not getting it but letting go, if it comes back means its yours but if it didn't come back it wasn't ever mean to be yours... That is the reason, Shilpa decide to leave as soon as possible before things get complicated... Already she has lost her heart for Armaan, she don't want to make any special place in her heart for their son...
Its not she don't love the baby, of course she loves him but she don't want to make any strong bonding with him then later it would be difficult for her and hurt her to leave the little one... So she decide to talk with Riddhima and Armaan as she knows others wouldn't even listen to her...
As it was Sunday, Armaan and other gents were present in the house... Even Gupta's has come early morning to spend the day with them... Now Riddhima do small works around the house, mostly work related to Armaan and the baby... No one stop them as Dr. Sharma has given green signal to Riddhima...
After lunch, Nandini send Riddhima and Shilpa to rest as they had been up from morning... Padma took the baby so Riddhima could rest without getting disturb... Its not baby would disturb them but they all love to keep him to their-selves so they could spend more time with him in day time...
Shilpa knows it would be best time to talk with Armaan and Riddhima, so she make her way towards their room... She knock softly not waiting anyone else to see her there as their secret of Shilpa being the surrogate mother of Armaan Riddhima baby was still hidden from the family...
Armaan open the door to see Shilpa, he was surprise but invite her moving side to let her in... Riddhima was sitting on the bed, she look at Shilpa who move to inside and wait for Armaan to close the door...
'Kiya huva Shilpa, kuch chahiyeh...' Riddhima asked...
'Main tum dono se zaruri baat karne aayi hoon...' Shilpa said...
'Kiya baat hai Shilpa, beito... Hum beit ke bhi baat kar sakte haina...' Armaan said as he joins Riddhima on bed while Shilpa sit on a chair next to the bed...
'Woh, I think ab mujhe apne ma ke paas waapas jaana chahiyeh...' Shilpa said not looking at them...
'Kiya huva, uski tabiyyat tik haina Shilpa...' Riddhima asked being concern...
'Woh bilkul tik hai lekin akeli hai... Armaan, Riddhima tum dono ke wajahse aaj meri ma zinda hai... Aur maine apna kaam bhi pura kardiya...' Shilpa said...
'Shilpa, tumne jo kiya.. Insaaniyat ke naate kiya... Humne bhi insaaniyat ke naate tumhe madad ki...' Armaan said..
'Kuch din aur rukhjao is behen ki saat Shilpa, tumhari tabiyyat bhi puri tarah tik nehi huva hai...' Riddhima said...
'Nehi Riddhima, tum jaante ho na mujhe kitna mushkil hone wali hai aage jaakar... Main abhi nhi gaye toh baad mein shayad mein jaa nehi paungi tumhare bacche se dur...' Shilpa said...
'Shilpa, aisa mat sochna tum usse nehi mil sakte ho... Tum jab bhi chaaho, usse, hum sabse milne aa sakte ho...
Hum jaante hai tumhari ma koh tumhari zarurat hogi... Issiliyeh hum tumhe rokhenge nehi... Jo khushi tumne humein diya, bacche koh dekh kar, woh karz hum kabhi ada nehi kar sakte... Lekin phir bhi tumhe kabhi bhi paison ki ya kuch bhi madad chahiyeh toh humse maangna...' Armaan said...
'Haan Shilpa, ab tum meri behen jaise ho... Main tumhe ek shart pe jaane ki permission dungi...' Riddhima said...
'Aur woh kiya hai...' Shilpa asked...
'Hum dono ne decide kiya hai hum tumhare liyeh har mahine paise bhijwaungi... Please mana mat karna, yeh ek badi behen apni choti behen ke liyeh denge... Tum mujhe badi behen maante ho na...' Riddhima asked holding Shilpa hand...
'Jis din aapne mujhe madad karne ke liyeh aage badi, us din se maine aapko badi behen hi maanga hai...
I m sorry di, maine aapse kuch din pehle kuch maanga yeh jaante huve bhi tik nehi hai... Lekin aapne us din badi behen hone ka farz nibaya jab maine choti behen hone ka farz bhul gayi ti...' Shilpa said sobbing holding Riddhima hand in her both hands...
'Jo bhi huva, uske baare mein bhul jao Shilpa... Main chaahti hoon, tum apni zindagi mein aage bado...' Riddhima said...
'Armaan, meri behen ka khayal rakhna aur meri nephew ka bhi... Main kal subah waapas jaa rahi hoon, please tum dono baaki sabko handle karna...' Shilpa said...
'Woh toh main kissi ke na bol ne se bhi karunga, after all she is the most important person in my life...' Armaan said hugging Riddhima from side...
Shilpa smile seeing the love between them, she left asking Riddhima to rest and leaving them alone knowing it would be the time that they would get alone as the house was filled with people every second the moment new member has arrived... Shilpa close the door behind making sure no one see her as she don't want anyone to suspense something was going between them...
When Shilpa left, Riddhima look at Armaan who kiss her temply hugging her... She rest her head on his shoulder as Armaan rest his head over her head... Armaan slowly rock her letting her sleep but Riddhima snuggle close to him hiding her face on his neck...
'Jaan, sona nehi...' Armaan asked feeling Riddhima leaving kisses on his neck...
'hmm' Riddhima said too busy showering him with kisses...
'Kiya baat hai, aab bohot pyar aa rahi hai...' Armaan asked...
'U know what Armaan, u r the best human been in this world...' Riddhima said...
'Accha, aur woh kaise...' Armaan asked...
'It was ur decision that we would be helping Shilpa by finance after knowing her marriage has broke and she has a mother to take care off...' Riddhima said...
'Haan kyunki woh tumhari behen haina ab means mere sister in law...' Armaan said...
'Phir bhi, mujhse pehle tumne yeh socha tum zindagi bar usse madad karenge...' Riddhima said...
'Riddhima, mujhse pehle tumne usse madad ki... Tumne unse madad maanga aur uspe chod diya faisla lene ke liyeh...
Main jaanta hoon tum hum sabko khush rakhne ke liyeh yeh socha... Aur main yeh bhi jaanta hoon tum mujhse kitna pyar karte ho...' Armaan said...
'Aur aap mujhse, nehi toh us din aisa react nehi karte jab maine pehli baar kaha aap dusri shaadi karlo...' Riddhima said...
'Main yeh kabhi nehi soch sakta hoon kissi aur ke baare mein jo tumhari jhaga le mere life mein... Main ek aulat ke liyeh apne biwi koh chod nehi sakta Riddhima...' Armaan said...
'Jaanti hoon, I m glad we found a way to give happiness to everyone...' Riddhima said...
'Thank you, for making every thing possible...' Armaan said kissing her cheek...
'Its my pleasure Mr. Mallik...' Riddhima said...
'Let me show you the pleasure which I need from you...' Armaan said smiling naughtily...
Riddhima look at him as he move out from the bed, next second he locked the door and move towards her... Riddhima got the hint, what must be going in Armaan mind... She felt her cheeks turn dark shade of red, she try to move out from the bed not getting in hold of Armaan...
Armaan was too fast for her, he hold her pinning her on the bed under him... Riddhima move her face on side giving him access of her neck which Armaan gladly attack with wet kisses... Armaan was holding Riddhima hand, intertwined their fingers, he shower her with kisses moving on her her face...
Soon he seal her lips with his taking her in to passionate kiss, both were lost in each other forgetting the world... They were exploring each other while moans and groans filled the room while downstairs everyone were having a good time letting the love birds have their sweet time...
NEXT DAY
Armaan went to drop Shilpa to the station, in the morning Shilpa announce that she was going to leave that afternoon... Everyone was very disappointed but they understood her mother would need her the most... Riddhima help Shilpa to packed where else Nandini and Priya make foods for her to take with her...
Shilpa was very happy to see everyone taking so much care and being concern about her health... She took the photo which was taken in baby shower, she was sitting in the middle with her head hidden with the veil... She clearly remember the day as she took a decision to leave realizing it would be the right thing to do...
FLASHBACK
After one month AR and Shilpa left for London, they got the news of Shilpa pregnant after the proceed were complete... When she was two months pregnant, AR inform their families about the good news... All those months, they were staying in London as Armaan joins their branch in London...
Their was no bond of happiness, everyone was too happy hearing the news... Nandini and Padma started with their advises to Riddhima asking what to do and not to, also Armaan asking to take good care of her... Armaan and Riddhima inform them that they wouldn't be able to go back unless she is five months pregnant due to doctor advice...
To their surprise, both families visit them when Shilpa was six months pregnant... From that day, Riddhima has to act in front of them as if she was really pregnant with a fake baby belly... Armaan and Riddhima introduce Shilpa as Riddhima friend like Riddhima introduce her to Armaan at the first meeting of them...
Everyone was glad to meet Shilpa and very happy that Armaan and Riddhima was taking care of her... Also they inform Shilpa husband left her, that is the reason she is staying with them... Armaan and Riddhima inform them they would keep Shilpa with them till she give birth which both families accept gladly...
From that day, both families started to take care of Shilpa as well along with Riddhima... When it was seven months to Shilpa pregnancy, they decide to go back as they wanted to arrange a huge babyshower for Riddhima... In a month, Shilpa make a strong bond with every person in the families...
They also treat Shilpa like a family member, specially Nandini make a good bond with Shilpa... So they took Shilpa with them back to Mumbai and treat her like a daughter till her delivery... Riddhima also was taking care of her without knowing Shilpa has feeling for Armaan...
The night Shilpa realized her true feelings for Armaan, was the night she left the house with their baby... Shilpa knows she can't have Armaan in his life so to keep something related to Armaan, she left the house after baby shower function complete...
Shilpa felt so bad that Nandini announce baby mother's name as Riddhima, it was the moment Shilpa realized she would be losing another person... After the function was complete, Shilpa change and left when everyone went to rest their room...
Soon it started to rain as she move to the station but she never thought Riddhima would be coming behind him... Due to the heavily storm, winds were moving in and out the house making the windows bang... Riddhima went to check on Shilpa and saw her things spread around but Shilpa missing...
Riddhima run out in search of Shilpa, she asked the guard if he has seen her who inform that Shilpa left to the station... Armaan who was in his room, saw Riddhima leaving in that storm... He follow her not knowing why and where she was going at this time of the night, that too when the bad storm was above their head...
Riddhima reach to the station to see Shilpa sitting on a bench, clicking her baby belly... Tears were falling from her eyes as she keeps looking at the railway, waiting for the train... Riddhima didn't understand why she has suddenly left, so she move to get answer to her question...
'Shilpa, yaha kiya kar rahe ho... Chalo ghar chalte hai...' Riddhima said...
'Nehi, main nehi jaungi... Main yeh baccha tum logo koh nhi dungi...' Shilpa said making Riddhima shocked...
Riddhima didn't understand what has gotten to her all of sudden... In those few months, she never react like this but something has change in few hours that Shilpa was denying to give the child to them...
'Yeh tum kiya bol rahe ho...' Riddhima asked...
'Yeh meri bacchi hai, main hoon uski ma... Tum nehi...' Shilpa said...
'Shilpa, tum jaante ho na maine is bacche ke liyeh kitna inthizaar kiya...
Achanak tum yeh...' Riddhima said as tears form in her eyes...
'Tik hai, tumhe baccha chahiyeh na... Toh tum badle mein mujhe Armaan de doh...' Shilpa said...
Next moment, Shilpa was holding her cheek as Riddhima slap her... Riddhima wasn't able to believe what she heard from Shilpa, how could she demand to exchange her husband with the baby...
'Kyun, bura laga tumhe...
Mujhe bhi bura laga... Jab Nandini ma ne kaha, yeh bacchi ka ma tum ho...' Shilpa said...
'Sach yehi hai Shilpa, yeh bacchi meri hai...' Riddhima said holding Shilpa shoulder...
'Lekin maine isko apne andar zinda rakka... Toh yeh... meri hai...' Shilpa said as she hold her belly, her breath was getting heavier...
'Shilpa, tum aisa nehi kar sakte...' Riddhima said...
'Nehi, mein yeh bacchi,,, yeh bacchi... Tum... tumhe nehi... Dungi...' Shilpa said with difficulty as next second she scream due to pain...
Just that moment, Riddhima heard footsteps and saw Armaan coming towards them... She move to Armaan as tears were falling on her cheeks, Armaan saw Shilpa sitting on the ground with wall support as she hold her belly tightly...
'Armaan, dekho na... Shilpa humein humhara baccha dene se mana kar rahi hai...' Riddhima said...
'Woh aisa kyun karenge, Riddhima mujhe lagta hai humein abhi Shilpa koh hospital le jaana padega...' Armaan said seeing Shilpa condition...
Riddhima look towards Shilpa, seeing her clicking to her belly Riddhima agree with Armaan as they move to his car with Shilpa on Armaan arms... Soon they reach to the hospital and after doctor check up when she inform they could save only one life, Riddhima decide they want Shilpa life...
It was the moment, Shilpa felt that what she was going to do was the worst anyone could have done to such nice people... From the day she met with Riddhima, Riddhima had been treating her like a sister but today, she was thinking to take the baby away from them...
FLASHBACK END
Armaan and Shilpa was standing in the crowded station as they wait for the announcement... As soon as the announcement was done, Shilpa face Armaan to look at him for the last time knowing maybe she wouldn't have the gut to come in front of him as she know once she left, Armaan would surely ask Riddhima what happen that night...
So far, Shilpa knows they must have not get a time or Armaan must have forgotten about it due to the happiness in their life... She wouldn't feel guilty for loving a man like Armaan because it was not in her hand that she lost her heart to someone kind like Armaan...
Seeing Shilpa lost looking at him, Armaan wave his hand in front of her face... Shilpa smile with his action and move close to him, putting his tie on place as it has move out a little...
'Take care Armaan...' Shilpa said smiling...
'You too...' Armaan said smiling and kissing her forehead...
Shilpa close her eyes, capturing the moment in her heart... She knows she wouldn't get to feel his lips on her skin like this after today, so she just wanted to enjoy the moment when she can... Shilpa open her eyes when Armaan move and gave her his dimple smile...
'Be in touch...' Armaan said...
'Sure...' Shilpa said moving towards the train as she move inside...
Armaan left when the train left and it goes out of his sight... Some how he felt that Shilpa as a soft corner for him in her heart... The way Shilpa was looking at him, all these months only Riddhima has look at him before... He thought to ask Riddhima what happen that night but not wanting to make thing awkward, he left the matter as now Shilpa has given their baby to them...
Armaan went back to home as he wanted to spend sometimes with his family, as he was on leave after the baby come he knows if he go to office also, he wouldn't be able to work... So he took some days of or do work in home so that he could be in front of Riddhima and their son which was the happiness of their life now...
FIVE YEARS LATER
Cricket match was going on as everyone stood enjoying by screaming and cheering... Armaan run to do the throwing while five year old stood in front of his holding the bat... As soon as Armaan throw the ball, he hit the ball and it fly high out of the garden in to the bushes...
Five year old scream with happiness as he score six while some sulk by his score while others cheer... He run towards his mother hugging her around her legs as both jump with happiness...
'Itna khush hone ki zarurat nehi hai champ, tum chote ho issiliyeh I throw softly...' Armaan said...
'Phir bhi meri prince ne six maara haina...' Riddhima said kissing his nose bending over him...
'Yesss, I did a six...' Boy said showing his dimple...
'Back to the game guys...Ray, abhi bohot zyada point karna hai jeetne ke liyeh' Shubankar call as they took their position back...
'No problem uncle, yeh toh shuruwat ta...' Ray said as he run back to his position as he got ready to hit another ball...
They continue the game and Ray hit the ball for another four and six making everyone clap and cheer for him... Ray was the apple of everyone now, he was full copy of Armaan... Naughty and always full of joy, he spread happiness around the house and keep everyone on their toes...
Last five years, everyone has witness every single action of Ray... He was buddy of Karan, Champ of Armaan and Prince of Nandini as well as Riddhima... Anurag has expire two years ago, but he was so happy to spend sometimes with his buddy son...
Everyone remember Anurag in their prayer but they never stop enjoying as it was what Anurag want as he wants to see his family support each other and together till eternity... Armaan was the saddest person in the house the day Anurag left the world but he was strong in front of others...
The moment he felt weak, Riddhima was there to handle him... Riddhima, who had been handling everyone from the beginning was keeping the family together... She help everyone, do work around the house... In simple, she handle every single responsibilities without complaining...
As it was getting late, Nandini call all of them to move inside... Ray run with Nandini as one by one left inside to take shower before having dinner... Riddhima was collecting the plates as Kriti took some on her way back... They had their evening snacks outside so everything was left there as they resume the match before cleaning...
Riddhima felt an arm around her waist, first she got startled but relax recognizing it was none other then Armaan... Riddhima slap Armaan hand which was around her waist as she continue to collect the empty plates...
'Jaakar naha lo Armaan aur Ray koh bhi tayyar kardena...' Riddhima said feeling him nuzzling on her nape...
'Main soch raha ta, kyun na aaj hum dono saat mein...' Armaan was cut Riddhima who push her elbow on his stomach as she turn to face him...
'Sab samajhti hoon mein Armaan... Aapko is waqt bhi shararat sujh raha hai...' Riddhima said moving inside while Armaan follow her...
'Haan toh buri baat kiya hai, apne patni ke saat toh shararat karna haina...' Armaan said flashing his dimple...
Riddhima move towards the kitchen not giving any heed to Armaan request... After helping Kriti and Piya in kitchen, Riddhima move to check on Armaan and Ray... She heard they laughing inside from the washroom... Knowing they must be doing some masti, Riddhima took out their cloth and move towards the washroom to give towel to them...
As soon as Riddhima open the door and move inside, she was wet from head to toe... Riddhima eyes got wide with shocked, her mouth hang open as laughter echo the washroom... When Riddhima cover from the shocked, she glare at both guys who make a cute face lowering their head...
Soon Riddhima joins them in their masti, both Armaan and Riddhima gave Ray shower and Armaan move out to make Ray get ready for the bed as after dinner he would be going to sleep... Riddhima locked the washroom as she remove her dress which was wet...
She move inside the shower as warm water fall on her body... She felt her muscles relax as she stood under the shower... It always make her relax after a hectic day and she stood like that under the shower taking warmness of the water as it pour from her head to toe...
While Riddhima was relaxing in the shower, Armaan make Ray change in to fresh night cloths... He send him to Nandini asking to play with her till Armaan and Riddhima get ready... When Ray run out from the room, Armaan locked it as he knows Riddhima didn't take her cloth with her so she wouldn't have anything to wear after shower...
Armaan took out Riddhima cloth and kept it on the bed next to his cloth, he move to the washroom to see it was locked... He knows she wouldn't open it so he took the key and open it without making any noise to alert Riddhima... As Riddhima was under the shower, she didn't hear Armaan entering...
Taking off his cloths, Armaan joins Riddhima in the shower jamming her to the wall making her startled... Before Riddhima could say anything, Armaan took her in to a passionate kiss as his hand roam around her bare body... Soon Riddhima was lost in his touch, they were making out in the shower...
AFTER FOUR HOURS
Armaan put Ray to sleep in his room which was attach to AR room while Riddhima finished the work in kitchen and came to arrange the room before Armaan coming after putting Ray to sleep... She was near the window, after arranging the room... She was staring at the sky, remembering her life from last few years...
After Ray had come, so much has change but their love for each other haven't reduce a single percent... Armaan always manage to make her feel love every single minute he get her away from others... He always surprise her with small gifts and make sure to spend a day alone with her like they used to do before Ray come in their life...
Also they spend family time, just three of them once a week but they make sure to give time to their families as well... Armaan was the best happen to her, he was a good son, loving husband and super father... Who gives time equally to everyone and never let anyone feel ignore...
Riddhima was lost the moment they had spend from last five years, how they used to steal moment hiding from others.. Armaan always manage to get kisses if by any chance Riddhima didn't give in the morning or rest of the day... Smile was adoring her face as she play with her mangalsutra while her eyes was on the sky...
Armaan came to see Riddhima lost, making sure Ray was in deep sleep Armaan move to her hugging her from behind... Riddhima smile got wide feeling Armaan so closed to her, she closed her eyes enjoying the moment as Armaan nuzzle on her neck as he leave kisses on her neckline...
'Kiya soch rahe ho...' Armaan said...
'Yehi ki, ab meri life kitni khubsurat bangaye hai...' Riddhima said...
'Hmm mera bhi...' Armaan said nibbling her earlobe...
'Lekin afsos bhi hoti hai woh baat pe, jo humne apne pariwon walon se chupaya...' Riddhima said...
Armaan turn her around facing him, Riddhima look at him and try to smile but it wasn't reaching to her eyes... Even Armaan feels guilt but no one knows how they would be reacting to the matter and they don't want their family to stop treating Ray the way they are treating thinking he was born from someone else womb...
'Riddhima, woh baat koh kitni saal hogaye hai... Main maanta hoon humne sach chupake accha nehi kiya, lekin jo sach mein sabkoh khushi milte hai woh galat toh nehi ho sakte haina... Humne jo bhi kiya, apne logon ke liyeh kiya... Na ki kissi koh dukh pochane ke liyeh...' Armaan said...
'Jaise aap meri saat chup chupke romance karte hai waise...' Riddhima asked naughtily as she don't want to get too emotional...
'Haan waise, lekin humhare chup chupke romance karne ke baad kissi koh chup ti nehi hai...
Romance ke baad tumhare chehre pe jo blush hote haina, woh sabko bata dete hai humne ek dusre ke saat close moment share kiya hai...' Armaan said caring Riddhima cheeks...
'I love u Armaan...' Riddhima whisper as his hot breath touch on her lips...
'I love you too Riddhima, a lot...' Armaan said sealing her lips...
