~***PART 25***~

"Riddhima I want you to put everything on my name, whatever your Dad has legally put on yours, I fear very soon he will retransfer everything back under his name. Hence we have to work fast and the immediate action we need to take is put everything on my name. As your legally married husband then your dad can't do much and we will be able too......................"

"But I thought you didn't want this property and money anymore Armaan?" Riddhima's voice quivered as she spoke.

Sensing the change in her tone Armaan came forward. Holding her by the shoulder he guided her to the bed. Making her sit down he kneeled down besides her holding her hands in his.

"Riddhima I won't deny there was a time when I did want all of this.....property, money, power. I agree I took the wrong way. And Riddhima believe me I have changed. I will not deny that I am still very ambitious and still dream to achieve the very best one day. But the only difference being Riddhima, you are a part of my dream now. Whatever I achieve it will be together, the both of us.

"But Armaan......"

"And regarding the matter now, Riddhima you are the rightful owner along with Anjali to all this. I want to know why your Dad is playing with us. When I asked him to just merely divide his power amongst both his daughters instead of you alone, he stooped down to separate us?? No Ridz, sweetheart we have to find out why?? Didn't you ever wonder why did he ask me to get married to you?? Gave you all his power as soon as we got married??"

"Armaan but.............."

"Riddhima.....if we don't work it out now...he might take some other drastic measure. Believe me darling, you can trust me with all the power. I will never ever betray your trust. I just want to end these mind games for once for all."

He looked at earnestly, his eyes boring in hers trying to convince her. Armaan knew she would eventually give in as she loved him the most. He knew that. He wanted her to support him whole heartedly as some unsolved puzzles needed to be answered before it wreaked their lives. He had seen her suffer from severe mental trauma ever since this happened.

And the last couple of days he had seen her changing mental moods which weren't a great sign. He had to work fast and take her out of this. He was partially responsible himself as he had agreed to this deal in the first place but.....now she was his responsibility and he could not bear to see her in this state. If only she could trust him................

"Fine...I trust you Armaan. You have my full consent to do anything and everything" She spoke softly in a low formal tone.

"Trust me sweetheart I won't betray you ever" He leaned forward and placed a soft gentle kiss on her forehead assuring his words. He had seen the uncertainty still visible in her eyes and he would prove himself to be true rather then assuring her any more with words.

He got up as her eyes followed him; she got up along with him. Glancing at the wall clock hanging on the wall opposite he muttered.

"I better get going now sweetheart. It's almost noon and your father will wonder why you haven't appeared even once since morning. I don't want him barging in here and creating any more issues."

"Dad will never ever come up here Armaan. Don't worry he has never entered my room once since I remember. He won't really be concerned.....so it's really ok. I mean if that were the case I would have told to be careful or rather go away last night itself. But the fact is he has never come up....not even when I had fallen ill.....after mom passed and so............" Her voice trailed off with a distinct look.

He moved forward and took hold of her. Hugging her tight he softly murmured against her hair.
"I love you Riddhima, you are never alone. I am and will forever be along your side ok."

Pulling out of the hug he looked at the small tears forming in her and smiled.
"And it's a good thing he doesn't come up you know. Good for us. I can come whenever I want. No wait. You're my wife; I really don't need to climb up the windows to see you. Wish I had been your boyfriend. Then I would have made full use of this fact that your father never comes up. Uff such an opportunity missed. Very sorry state of affairs."

She smiled hearing him mutter all this in one breath and gently placed her hand on his cheek.

"I trust you Armaan, more then my self" she softly whispered.

"Am glad you do sweetheart, I promise never…….."

"I know you wont " she softly murmured.

Armaan couldn't help but lightly kiss her as he leaned forward brushing his lips against hers.

"Now Ridz, the immediate action we need to take is that you sign the papers. I will get them ready by evening. We have to take care your father doesn't get any hint at all and we need to work fast. Once under my name there is little he can do. But till then we have be very careful. Riddhima don't sign any papers under any circumstances ok. Give me a call immediately." She nodded as he turned to go.

"How are you going back Armaan? From the window again? Its day time. Some might see you and……."

"Hmm even I was thinking of the same thing. I would have just stayed here with you had we not to work fast and get those papers ready. Let me think…." He frowned.

"I'll just see, if Dad has gone you can sneak off Armaan, no one will doubt anything or see you I guess. But if…."

"Don't worry I'll take care….just tell me if the coast is clear"

Riddhima came back after a while to inform him that Shanshank was no where in sight and the coast was absolutely clear.

Giving her a last kiss he whispered

"I'll be back tonight…..love you Riddhima"

"I love you too" she whispered.

It was the test of their relationship now. Her trust in him and his love for her would be put through trial now. Riddhima closed her eyes wishing that their love would prove itself and not fail.

************************************

She smiled standing next to Muskaan as the camera zoomed and flashes were seen from all sides. Riddhima couldn't help but smile widely feeling Armaan standing beside her his arm around her waist. She looked at him turning her head for a second to see the wide smile plastered on his face too. He looked at and lightly gave her a flying kiss before looking away and greeting people who came on stage to wish Rahul and Muskaan.

Their reception had gone completely perfect. It had almost been more then a week since she had signed the papers Armaan had asked her to sign and during the week that followed her trust and love in him had reached new heights.

In order to keep her father under the belief that she no longer had any thing to do with Armaan they had very heavy heartedly agreed to stay apart . She continued staying with Shansank. Strangely enough not once during those days had Shanshank even once asked her about Armaan or the property or money or any will papers. He had been gentle and polite to her.
Riddhima was thoroughly confused and totally taken aback by this sudden change in his attitude. She couldn't really make sense of it. It later when confided in Armaan that he informed her that Shanshank was sort trying to by her trust. Was waiting for the right opportunity.

Also he didn't want to ruin any chances of having Ridz completely under his control by forcing her into anything. He was under the belief she was in no contact with Armaan as they had taken every precaution possible to keep it under wraps.

He would visit her regularly at nights usually and Riddhima would look forward to it like a 16 year old girl waiting to meet her guy. It did not escape Shanshank's notice that she was all the more cheery then she had ever been and Armaan had to warn her to keep low or their secret would be discovered.

Riddhima tried to probe him about the progress of things after signing the papers but he had put her off asking her to keep out of it. When she had argued saying how did he expect her to keep out when it was actually involving her Armaan had gently though gravely asked her to wait. He would reveal to her once things would settle down.

She did not ask him again as she had noticed him turning grave as the days passed. He wasn't his usual self any more. He would come to her and sometimes just hug her tight and whisper.

"I am always there for you Riddhima….no matter what"

She would just simply hug him back. As the week neared an end Rahul-Muskaan wedding had been finally arranged as Anjali had informed earlier. The date was auspicious and there was no such auspicious occasion for another six months.

************************************

"Riddhima why haven't you signed the divorce papers??"

Shanshank had asked her as she came down dressed to go for the mehendi.

"Papa….that…actually…"

"What?? Do you still trust that guy over your father?? I want you to sign them straightaway and hand them over to me….and where are you going Riddhima?"

She bit her tongue trying to find words but she knew she would have to do it.

"Dad…I am going to Muskaan's mehendi ceremony"

Seeing his shocked looked Riddhima quickly added before he would say more.

"Dad….Whatever happened with Armaan…Rahul and Muskaan cannot be blamed Dad. I know they belong to same family but they have always been kind to me and I can't ruin their happiness like this Dad….even Di loves them and I cant pour water over their happiness by getting my issue in between"

"Even after all Armaan has done to you?"

"Dad" Taking a deep breath she continued.

"Dad whatever happened….its with Armaan, and Dad whatever said and done…..they have never ill treated me and so I owe it to them Dad….and partly it's your fault to ….Armaan asked you and you immediately agreed"

Riddhima bit her tongue as she said that. It was the first ever time she had spoken to her father like that.

"My fault? Riddhima I meant it all for your own good and…"

"Dad…it's ok…whatever happened has happened. I just don't want to ruin any one's happiest moments of life by creating a scene. Imagine what will Rahul feel if he sees these divorce papers and Armaan's true colours when he is all set to get married"

"Serves them right" Shanshank muttered.

"Does it?"

Riddhima looked up at him? How could her father be so cruel she failed to understand. But right now her focus was to attend the ceremonies and get away from here.

"Dad please don't say things like this…..Ok I will sign the papers after the wedding. Trust you Dad" Riddhima added trying to sound as convincing as she could. Get separated from Armaan was something couldn't even dream of and here she had to say all of it coolly. But then she couldn't let Armaan down.

***************************************

Riddhima thought over all this as she saw Rahul smiling with Armaan by his side. The last few days had been great. She would be their place ….not their ….her home…her rightful home all day under the pretext of putting up and act in front of her father of showing everything was normal till the wedding got over. She had never been so happy despite the looming shadow.

Arranging the wedding, the ceremonies, everything looked grand to her. Being lonely all her life all this fascinated her and Anjali too had married without her being present. Her own marriage too had been a simple one, devoid of any pomp and pleasure which Riddhima now realized how she missed it all.

Hence she had made it a point to get her hands full with heena just like a bride would. She kept Armaan company all day till she could without looking suspicious to her father on hand and looking like a perfect couple to the rest on the other hand. As she now looked at the dark colour set deeply on her hands she smiled seeing him talking to a few guests. He had promised that by the time the wedding got over it would all be sorted and they would be out of the mess completely.

Shanshank had obviously come to the wedding and reception to make his presence felt. Arrmaan had tried his best to make himself and Riddhima look fake to him.

Armaan saw her smile deeply at him and blew a kiss back as saw Anjali approach him.

"We need to talk Armaan, immediately"

"Anjali, something wrong? The reception isn't yet over yaar I can't leave this just like that and come."

"Armaan, its really urgent yaar. I know we shouldn't leave the reception and go but ok just a few minutes. We need to talk now."

"Umm Ok come on" Armaan reluctantly agreed and followed her up the stairway to the room.

Two pairs of eyes followed them as they went up unaware of the gaze that followed them.

*************************************

"Armaan what's going on?? Aren't the papers ready as yet??"

"Anjie they are ready. We just need Riddhima's signatures again and bingo…your Dad will never be able to do anything ever again"

"But what took you so long Armaan? You know ever since I came to know all this I haven't rested in peace. To think he would do this to Riddhima, but then he never really was a much of a father anyways. Am glad atleast we can tackle him now and avenge mom's death. But to think….you know when Riddhima comes to know the real truth how shattered she will be??? She is only aware of the half truth till now…the full truth will….."

Anjali sat down feeling tears form in her eyes.

"Hey I won't allow anything to happen to her. I am there for her. You don't need to worry about her….she will…"

"In that case you do Armaan…you do have to worry about her, as I am still here in the game. Its my game in case you have forgotten"

Armaan and Anjali stood up shocked to see Shanshak standing at the doorway.

*************************************

~***PART 26***~

"Hmm so continue….Armaan, Anjali with your discussion. Do you mind if I join?? I am sure you wont right?? "

He strode in coolly.

Armaan clinched his fists as he saw him. Anjali walked over and stood next to him devoid of any reaction.

"Yes so Dr Armaan Mallik? You thought you will beat me in my own game huh? Actually hats off to you….you managed. You convinced your darling wife somehow and made her sign……these papers"

Shanshank threw a bunch of papers on his face. Looking down Armaan realized they were a Xerox of the very papers he had made Riddhima sign while transferring the entire property on his name.

"Now now….don't wonder how they came to me Armaan. You're no fool. I was bound to come to know somehow. It's my bad luck that I came to know a bit late. Anyways what do you want Armaan? You are really proving me right you know. I told Riddhima you were after my property and there you did prove me right son."

"Sorry to interrupt Dad….but not quite you know. Armaan intends to divide it as per Riddhima's wishes amongst all of us which is fair enough. But you wouldn't want that do you?? That's the reason you tried separating Armaan and Ridz. How low can you stoop so low?"

"Don't you dare forget you're talking to your father Anjali"

"That I have forgotten ages ago ever since you killed Mom"

Dark colour flushed up his cheeks as Shanshank looked at her.

"Anjali if you were not my daughter then I would have…….I would have…."

"What have played a sick game with me like you played with poor Riddhima? Because she isn't your blood? No wait you never accepted her as your blood right Dad?? Never accepted the fact that she is your illegimate child….did you??"

"Anjalii"

Shanshank moved forward raising his arm only to be rebuked back.

"Don't you dare touch me Dad…no actually Mr Shanshank Gupta, your not fit to be called a father. How could you even play with your some one's life like this?? You knew Armaan was ambitious, hence you trapped him. You made him marry Ridz and just because he now refused to do things as your will you want to separate them? For no fault of theirs? Just because they wanted to divide it amongst us which you didn't agree to, you made him sign fake divorce papers??"

"Yes I did….Armaan was under my control don't forget that, I gave him all the control and power and now he has the cheek to defy me?? "

"So you made Riddhima undergo so much pain because she's your illegimate daughter? She still remains your blood, how could you forget that?"

Armaan quietly asked. He felt a surge of pity for her, what if she was to hear all this?? She would go mad with shock.

"That's none of your business Armaan; don't poke your head in matters that don't concern you. I never considered your Riddhima as my child so…"

"You considered me too as your daughter despite me being the legal child, I can imagine what you must be feeling for poor Ridz, she doesn't even know."

"I guess that more then enough my children. You have said enough….more then enough. And Armaan my boy you have worked so very hard. Now let me step in and finish it up. Giving my touch"

"You cannot do anything Dad. Riddhima has signed the basic power of attorney and now once she signs the transfer of power the ball is in our court Dad"

"Exactly but tables can be turned you know." Shanshank smiled.

"Well what if I tell Riddhima that you all know she's illegimate?? And you never really accepted her. Being her father I obviously accepted her but you never did. Hence you paired up with Armaan and played this game. Building her trust and then using her?"

Anjali felt the earth move as she heard him say that. This was getting out of bounds now.

"The fact is you never loved her, she knows that Mr Shanshank. You think she never noticed that you were always distant from her?"

"Oh she's very easy to play with Armaan, you know that don't you? You worked your charms so excellently on her that she cannot just see beyond you. Ok I'll tell the facts….since you have worked so hard. Yes Riddhima is my illegimate child. Not that I ever wanted her"

"You didn't ….you never did Dad, you put all the blame on Mom and forced her to commit suicide" Anjali whispered.

"Keep quiet. I had never promised Shobha anything. And Padma your mother…well she had walked into my life as though giving me a new life."

"Obviously she did….as she brought these millions with her"

"Brilliant Anjali. Her father just like me as I saw in Armaan…saw this driving force in me…fire to achieve nothing but the best. I agreed instantly. It was a golden opportunity. I married your mother immediately. She thought I loved her….women…tut tut….and then you were born. I wanted to make you just like me….so that I could control you. And I could see me in you. But no….Padma influenced you too much. Hence I had to send you away from her Anjali…to boarding .To keep you away from her."

"And then one night she walked in with girl in the house. She had this letter in her hand, from Shobha saying she was my daughter. And Padma being the great lady she was…she brought her home as Shobha was dying in the hospital. I would have never accepted her as my daughter. But Padma….noo she accepted her and brought her up as her own child. "

"And never once did she question you no Dad…as she had already seen your true colours."

"Ahhh well Padma was sensible enough to keep quiet. Anyways I saw her influencing that Riddhima .Had to send her away too. But Padma then started raising her voice .Insisted on having both her daughters back .Foolish lady."

"Yes….and you got me back home and then….when she insisted on Riddhima being brought home you told her off. You insulted her, told her Riddhima might be her own child who knew. I can never forget that night."

Anjali sobbed quietly as Armaan moved forward placing his arm around her. He was too shocked to react with so much surfacing.

"And you humiliated her so much…..that she…she committed suicide…thinking her children too weren't hers or perhaps you might never allow them to be hers .And in that weak moment she…… …."
Anjali stopped unable to continue as she felt herself leaning on Armaan crying.

"Why Dad? Why?" She sobbed as Armaan tried comforting her.

"And when I rebelled you made Riddhima your pawn? What did you gain Dad?"

"I never wanted what I have earned, the power I have gained to fall in some hands which were not capable or upto my expectations. Anjali you disappointed me girl. You married that fool Atul .Son of that Joshi whom I always detested. His father was always poking his nose in things which weren't concerning him and he gave me a hard time, he was the one becuase of whom Padma got the strength to refute me...That Joshi and his wife.... but when you were born..in you…..I saw the spark, the pluck and I was proud of my daughter and you….you defied me. Left me and married his boy. You think I will ever forget that?"'

"Hence I reluctantly turned my attention to that Riddhima. She was always so willing to lick my feet. Then Armaan came into picture and everything was so perfect. Both would be under my control and it was going all according to my plan but this Armaan………….Anyways since Armaan disappointed me…I will have my way still. Anjali and Atul can never ever have this….but I will still control Riddhima…bring her under my control and see to it that she only obeys me. "

He looked at Armaan giving him a deadly glare.

"You are going to pay for it Armaan"

"Uncle please….she's your daughter how can you??" Armaan whispered softly.

"Ohhh advising me?? Shall I remind the world who's son's you are?? I don't need to remind that do you?? The weak man who went into depression because of a woman……shall I..it will make this reception very interesting you know"

"But Riddhima is your child…."

"Yes so that's exactly what I will do…tell her kindly…break the news of her blood to her myself and….."

"CRASHHH"

Turning their attention to the door Armaan and Anjali gasped to see Riddhima standing there looking white. Armaan ran forward as she turned to walk away.

"Riddhimaaaa" he almost shouted as he walked quickly trying not to draw attention as he ran down the stairs. He just caught up with her as………..

"Hey Armaan….meet him…he an old friend of ours you know…." Armaan stared miserably at her walking away as he found himself bumping into Rahul and Muskaan.

****************************************************

"What???? OMG she isn't there?? Anjie you sure…you called up Atul?? He went to the hospital?? No we cant lodge a complain. The whole world will come to know and Rahul just got married and….if the media gets to know…."

Armaan cut the call running his fingers through his hair. He had immediately left the reception as soon as he got away from Rahul and Muskaan. He had left Anjali to do the explanation. He went straight to his home from the hotel after searching the entire hotel practically. She wasn't there anywhere. His heart skipped a beat to find her not at their home too. He went to her place and found it dark and empty.

She was no where to be found. They had combed every place possible and Armaan banged his fist hard on the steering wheel as he sighed in frustration. He didn't even know for long had she been standing there and what she had heard. He just hoped she wouldn't take things wrongly….she needed him the most and here he was…but where did go and why??

"Its my fault. How could I let her go like that? Riddhimaaa where are you???
