Hey all, this is my version of Aryaman/Ahaana confession and story progression based on Saturday's episode. I had this idea circling in mind for sometime but Saturday episode gave me a good chance to finally pen it down.
Enjoy all!
::CONFESSION:: ARYAMAN/AHAANA
Ahaana hugs Aryaman tightly who reciprocates with same urgency.
"Ahaana. Kya howa? Kisi ne kuch kaha?"
"Aryaman, kya hum kuch dair aise reh sakte hain please? Bina kuch kahe, bina sawal kiye?" Aryaman's heart sinks at her words and tightens his hold on her slightly. Something is very wrong if Ahaana is this shaken.
Few moments pass but for them it felt as if time stood still. Ahaana breaks away first but Aryaman doesn't let her go completely.
"Sorry. Woh main..."
"Ab wife apne hi husband comfort ke liye bhi sorry kahegi?" Ahaana doesn't know if Aryaman is teasing or being serious. Aryaman can sense Ahaana's invisible wall reappearing slowly so he decides that it's now or never.
"Ahaana... main tumse kuch kehna chahta hon."
"Hm?" Ahaana looks at him as she tries to move away but Aryaman doesn't let go of her.
"Main kabse right moment ka wait kar raha hon, kabse try kar raha hon lekin right, perfect moment hi nahi araha. Lekin ab lag raha hai ke abhi nahi kaha toh bohut dair hojayegi. Right moment ke inteizaar mein tum mujhse se aur durr hojaogi." Ahaana's confusion is so loud and clear on her face then Aryaman almost laughs at her obliviousness in this matter. She has no idea what Aryaman is going to say.
"Main kuch..."
"Ahaana Dhawan..." Aryaman's arms around her waist tighten slightly and he looks deeply in her eyes.
"I love you." Ahaana's heart skips a beat, time stops.
"I'm in love with you." There is not even a friction of lie in his voice, face or in his eyes.
"Pata nahi kab aur kaise, lekin, mujhe tumse pyaar hogaya. Beyhadh aur beinteha." One moment Ahaana is in his arms, absolutely still and next moment she literally pulls away from him as if she got hit by a lightening.
"Ahaana..."
"Tumhe sharam nahi ati, itna ghariya mazaq karte howe? Samajh ke kya rakha hai mujhe? I'm Ahaana Dhawan!"
"Ahaana meri baat toh suno aik bar please. Main sach..."
"Sach? Yeh konsa sach hai, Aryaman? Tumhara sach, tumhara pyaar, woh himesha wala, barbaad karne wala, woh toh Radhika hai na? Toh phir main kahan se, kaise agayi?"
"Radhika bhi sach hai mera. Lekin woh mere guzre howe kal ka sach hai. Aur tum meri aaj, mere kal ki haqeeqat ho. Please, trust me."
"Trust? Kis cheez par trust karon, apni aankhon par yaan tumhare alfaaz par?" Jab Radhika samne hoti hai, tumhe main toh kya duniya nahi dikhti." Aryaman closes the gap between them as he holds her hand again to make her look at him once again.
"Jahan tum hoti ho, wahan na Radhika dikhti hai, na hi duniya. Sirf tum dikhti ho." Ahaana scoffs as tears form in her eyes. Her heart is beating so fast, her heart and mind are battling with each other on what to believe.
"Acha, please aik bar meri poori baat sun lo phir jo chahe keh lena." Aryaman steps even closer, barely leaving any space between them, he creases her hand softly.
"Haan, maine Radhika se bohut zayada pyaar kiya. Itna zayada ke jab woh mujhe chodh kar gayi toh maine khudko barbaad kar liya uske peeche. Uske ghar ke samne roz jana, uske liye tadapna, uski wajah se sharabi bann gaya. Uski wajah se shaadi, pyaar, se aeitbaar uth gaya." Ahaana's heart breaks once again listening to Aryaman's pain, even though she can clearly remember the Aryaman she had met when she was Purvi.
"Phir tum meri zindagi mein ayi... aik toofaan bankar jisne mere ghar ke saath, meri buniyadein bhi hila di. Mujhe sachme nahi pata chala ke kab tum meri nazar mein, mere dil mein utar gayi. Kab mujhe tumse pyaar hogaya. Pata hai tumhare pyaar ne mujhe himmat di, tauqat di." Tears roll down Ahaana's eyes as she stands still trying to process Aryaman's words.
"Yaad hi jis dim tumne mujhe aur Radhika ko saath mein... jis din tumne mujhse divorce maangi thi." Aryaman can see the moment flashes of that particular night crosses her mind as she tries to pull away but Aryaman's hold remains strong.
"Us raat main Radhika ke paas gaya tha, ussay baat karne. Radhika mere samne thi, mujhse apni feelings confess ki, mujhe chorh jaane ki reason bhi batayi. Aur mujhe kaha ke woh laut ke mere paas ayi thi, jis din humari shaadi hoyi thi. Us din woh jaan gayi ke sachme usay dair hogayi. Pata hai, maine usay kya kaha?" Her eyes ask the question which she is unable to voice.
"Maine usay kaha... that I love fallen in love with Ahaana. Mujhe Ahaana se pyaar hogaya hai." Aryaman laughs softly as he remembers the feeling of realisation.
"Tum nahi jaanti ho, Ahaana... maine kitne saal es pal ka inteizaar kiya. Radhika ka inteizaar aur jab woh pal aya... mujhe sirf tum dikhi, sirf tum. Radhika ko dekha, lekin... woh dikhi nahi. Meri nazar, mera dil, meri rooh sirf tumhe dhoond rahe thay, tumhe chah rahe thay, tumhe hi dekh rahe thay. Us din se Radhika mein mujhe sirf achi dost hi mili, jo us pal se sirf mera saath de rahi hai ke mujhe mera pyaar, tum, mil jao." Not a single lie. Ahaana can see and sense nothing but the truth in his words and that almost shatters her in a way she cannot explain.
"Aryaman." The way she says his name, like a broken plea.
"Aryaman main..."
"Vikram se pyaar karti ho, haina?" Ahaana's whole body shivers at this as the realisation hits her that is exactly what she has been showing and telling Aryaman.
"Ahaana, I know ke tum Vikram se... par Ahaana, please, kya tum mujhe aik mauqa nahi de sakti? Hume aik mauqa?" His eyes water as he asks her for one chance while his heart and mind battle over him being selfish or let her go.
"Arya..."
"Please, Ahaana... sirf aik mauqa, sirf aik. Mujhe dikhane do ke main sach keh raha hon. Mujhe mera pyaar prove karna ka aik chance dedo. Main tumhe Vikram se bhi zayada chahta honz usay bhi zayada khush rakhonga. Please, aik bar mujhe azma kar toh dekho." A sob breaks out from Ahaana's lips at this.
"Please... Ahaana tum mat jao mujhe es tarhan chorh ke, bina hume chance diye. Radhika gayi toh main toot gaya tha. Lekin tum gayi toh... main toh marr hi jaonga. Saans bhi nahi le paonga aik pal. Please Ahaana..." he holds her face, wiping her tears away as tears roll down his eyes.
"I love you, Ahaana. I. Love. You." Unable to say anything, Ahaana simply lunges forward and wraps her arms tightly around Aryaman, hugging him tightly. She is unable to form words but her gentle crying is enough for Aryaman to reciprocate her hug.
"I'm sorry." She manages somehow and Aryaman's heart almost gives out. He tightens his hold around her and shakes his head.
"Aryaman, pehle kuch kyun nahi kaha?"
"Kab kehta? Jab jab try ki kuch na kuch yaan koi humesha beech mein ajata, aur phir Vikram..."
"Haan maine Vikram se pyaar kiya..." a surge of jealousy jolts through his body, causing him to shiver which doesn't go unnoticed by Ahaana.
"Par... main Vikram ke liye divorce nahi le rahi thi. Main toh sirf tumhe aur Radhika ko milane ke liye... Vikram ka sahara le rahi thi." Her confession is barely above a whisper but Aryaman goes still in her arms. Before she could continue, Aryaman slightly pulls away, this time Ahaana tightens her grip on him. He looks at her through glassy eyes in shock.
"Ahaana..."
"Maine dekha hai, tumhe tadapte howe, Radhika ke liye... esi liye jab pata chala ke uski shaadi nahi hoyi toh socha ke main hi raste se hatt jaon, esi liye Vikram..." He laughs in disbelief but also in relief.
"Tum bilkul pagal ho, Ahaana Dhawan. Par esi pagalpan se toh mohabbat hogayi hai." Her cheeks go shade of pink at this.
"Meri zindagi mein Radhika ab sirf aik dost hai, bas, aur kuch nahi."
"Vikram mera kal tha, aaj nahi." She replies softly and a burden lifts from his heart, he can finally breath bit more easily.
"I love you, Ahaana." He says it as if it's the most easiest thing he ever said or done and her heart beats faster every time he confesses. She doesn't have the words right now for him. There is too much between them, too many secrets, but for now she allows herself this one joy. This one thing that her heart yearned for a long time.
He doesn't ask her to say them back, he doesn't expect her to. Not so easily. But her smile, her eyes, her hands around him and how the gap between them is almost invisible now, it's the only answer he needs.
This time when he hugs her, it is with a promise to never let her go, a promise to love her, cherish her till death and he seals it with a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Elsewhere Yaman is sitting in front of a fireplace with drink in his hand meanwhile Radhika is sitting across him watching him with unreadable expression.
"What?" He finally asks.
"Mujhe yeh umeed nahi thi ke tum bas aise hi chale jaoge."
"Aise kaise? Deal is a deal. Usne kaha tha Pinky se durr chale jao aur Dragon Pearl le lo. So, mujhe pearl mil gaya aur us Pinky se shaadi bhi nahi karni padi. It's a win-win." Radhika is not happy with this answer but she doesn't say anything. But Yaman strikes back.
"Ab toh woh dono aik hogaye hain. Mujhe toh laga tha tum aisa kabhi hone nahi dogi. Aryaman toh tumhara pyaar hai na?" Radhika doesn't take the bait.
"Abhi ke liye hojayein dono aik, koi baat nahi. Es wajah se kuch time ke liye uski attention dragon par se toh hatt jayegi."
"Dragons." He points out.
"Tumhare paas toh mauqa tha na, toh kyun nahi maara usko?" She asks the burning question causing his hand to shake slightly but he holds himself steady.
"Mujhe Ahaana ko marr kar kya milta? Pearl chahiye tha, mil gaya. Toh phir marna maarna kaisa?" He isn't telling a full truth, Radhika can sense it.
"Jo bhi kaho, baat hai us Ahaana mein... us Pinky ke liye, usne mujhe, Dragon ko, uska pearl waapis de diya." It's so unbelievable that Yaman doesn't know whether to commend Naagin for this or laugh at her stupidity.
"Jo bhi hai, baat toh hai us mein." The hint of admiration in his voice for their mortal enemy causes Radhika to react without thinking.
Before he can see, Radhika is right in front of him, she holds his face in her palm to make him look at her.
"Pyaar toh nahi hogaya na tumhe us Ahaana se?" Yaman looks at Radhika in disbelief before let's out a loud chuckle.
"Really? Tumhe yeh lagta hai."
"Mujhe jo bhi lagta hai, Yaman. Tum aik baat jaan lo, samajh lo... Ahaana se pyaar na kar baithna. Woh dushman hai, humari, woh Naagin hai. Dragon aur Naagin mein sirf dushmani ki jagah hai, aur kuch nahi."
"Aur Dragon aur Insaan ke beech toh woh bhi jaiz nahi hai. Toh phir Aryaman..." her eyes change its colour into red but she doesn't respond. She let's go of Yaman and steps back.
"Ahaana se pyaar na kar baithna, Yaman. Warna phir apni barbaadi ke zimedar tum khud hoge."
"Radhika, mujhe na Ahaana mein koi interest hai, na hi hoga. Now please... kindly, get the hell out." He gestures towards the door. Radhika can easily overpower Yaman if she wants, she is Drangon Rani, whereas, Yaman is young Dragon. Maybe that's why, she chooses to silently walk away. For now. Even if Yaman no longer exists in the lives of Suris for now for walking away from marriage at last minute, Radhika still needs to keep an eye on him.
Yaman let's out the breath he was holding as Radhika walks away. He can blame on his drink but somehow they both will know that he was lying. Radhika just knows which buttons to push, yet he is unable to understand why Radhika thinks he is or will be interested in Ahaana. He is not. He let's his head fall into sofa head as he stares at the ceiling.
"Don't worry, Radhika. Nahi hoga. Aisa kabhi nahi hoga." He whispers to an empty room.

- "Tum kyun ruk gaye thay? Us din? Sea... tum chahte toh... main rukne nahi wali thi tumhe." Ahaana tries to confront Yaman about their strange encounter in the sea. "Jaanta tha, us pal... saari haadein paar ho sakti thin aur tum nahi rukti. Esi liye ruk gaya." "Main samjhi nahi." "Woh jo beech mein tha, toh phir main kaise line cross karta?" "Koun?" "Aryaman... aur koun." just laughs as he says says his name as a fact. "Tumhari aankhein us waqt us lamhe ko hee rahi thi toh tumne Aryaman ke saath guzare thay. Aisa hi mahool tha, aik pool tha, paani thi... aur tum dono thay. Yaad hai mujhe. Bas esi liye ruk gaya."
