Part-120
It's 6 in morning and armaan's cell was ringing from 10 minutes.. riddhima was slightly disturbed, she asked him to attend call, but he was in deep sleep, he slightly nuzzled on her neck and turned and hides his face in her, one arm around her waist and one hand on her shoulder, with his one leg curled from his knees over hers, riddhima again asked him but no answer, so she in sleep took his cell, niki's names flashing, she placed the cell on her ear and mumbled hello with closed eyes and placed her arm around his neck….
Ni: happy new year riddhima ji, aapko to yaad nahi ki doston ko bhi wish karna hota hai cell hi switch off kar rakha tha..
R: (cutting her in between) happy new year niki…
Ni: same to you.. acha bata cell kyu off kar rakha tha?? New year ki shuruwat kaise ki???
R: road par party karke, mai nighty mai thi and armaan capree mai…
Ni: lagta hai tu abhi bhi neend mai hai, waise tera paer kaisa hai ab???
R: (in sleepy voice)mere paer ko kya hua tha, wo to theek hi tha..
Ni: hum hospital mai milenge riddhima, abhi tu soja, pata nahi kya kya bol rahi hai, agar yaad rakh sake to yaad rakhiyo aaj duty timings 10 o'clock hai… aur armaan ko bhi meri taraf se new year wish kar diyo… (riddhima said hmmm.. and she cut the call)
Riddhima smiled when looked at the way of his sleeping and kissing on his forehead she again goes to sleep, after 2 hours, she makes a face in sleep and tried to slightly push the hand of armaan that was almost digging in her skin and was aching, when in she mumbled aaahhhhh… armaaan opened his eyes and immediately removes his hand from her waist, there was red spot on her waist,
he slightly rubbed it, cursed himself for hurting her then relaxed her by caressing her hair and mumbled sorry in her ears when he saw the spotting dimnishing, he settled on bed thinking about his dream side by side caressing her hair… he looked at riddhima then thought about his dream, again her words of trust towards him crosses his mind, again that view ran in his mind which he'd seen in dreams,
that 10 days he'd for the first time placed himself in place of riddhima, for the first time he felt the state from which she passed, unknowingly his heart mumbled thanks… jis vishwas ke liye log taraste hai uss vishwas ko dene ke liye, log kehte hai vishwas aur ladkiyan north pole aur south pole ki tarah hote hai, kabhi nahi mil sakte ek jagah… par tum… he remembered her words again, kaise itna patience aa gaya?? then again looked at riddhima's innocent face, who was looking very satisfied, armaan unknowingly bend down and placed his hand on her head and mumbled in her ears I promise riddhima,
I promise mai tumhara trust kabhi nahi tutne dunga, mai kabhi bhi kuch aisa kaam nahi karunga jiss se tumhara trust kabhi bhi dagmagaye, tumhe mere pyar par vishwas karne ke liye purane moments ki kabhi help nahi lene dunga, mai khud hi tumhara vishwas bankar tumhare saath khada rahunga hamesha…. I promise.. aur jis din kbhi ye waada toda uss din mai khud hi apne liye ek aisi saaja chunuga jiske liye saari jindagi mai tadapta rahunga….
He again caressed her hair and kissed her on forehead, I really love you riddhima, itna pyar ki ab to khud ka kuch lagta hi nahi hai, aisa lagta hai jaise mere andar saasein bhi tumhari chal rahi hho…. Tumhe meri jindagi mai laakar bhagwan ne mujhe jaise khud se hi milwa diya ho, you know what.. I'm the mostest mostest.. Luckiest man of this earth, itni pyari si wife jo mili hai… tumhare bina to 1 pal bhi apni life visualize nahi kar sakta,
log kehte hai shaadi ke baad pyar kam ho jaata hai, par mujhe to lagta hai ki mai to tum me aur gum hota jaa raha hun, jaise waqt ke saath saath tum me hi smaata jaa raha hun..
log kehte hai ki jab shaadi ke baad hakikat se saamna hota hai, jimedaariyan uthani padti hai, to saare pyar ke sapne bikhar jaatein hai, shaadi ke baad aisa lagta hai ki kissi ne sapne mai se uthaya diya ho..
par mujhe aisa kyu lagta hai jaise tumse shaadi karne ke baad hakikat sapno se bhi jayda achi lagne lagi hai, iss sundar si hakikat ke baad maine sapne dekhna hi chod diya coz wo to iss hakikat ke saamne bilkul feeke hai, jindagi bandhan lagne ki jagah itni khubsurat lagne lagi hai ki kabhi bhul kar bhi mai marne ki dua nahi maang sakta…. Itna jeena chahta hun ki ki pata nahi…… dekha paagal ho gaya hun na mai…. bas paagal khaane jaane ki kami reh gayi hai (he smiled to himself) actually paagal khaane mai already band hun, pata hai kaha par???
(he places his head near her heart) haan yaha par band hun mai… pata hai ye waala paagal khaana saari duniya ke paagalkhaano se alag hai, coz log paagalkhaane mai theek hone jaate hai, apna paagal pan dur karne ke liye jaate hai par ye paagalkhaana sirf mujhe aur paagal karne ke liye bana hai, har roj aisi pyar ki tablets deta hai jiss se mai aur paagal ho jaun, aise electric shocks milte hai jinhe lene ke baad mann karta kaash aur mil jaye, haina ajeeb paagal khaana, aur pata hai iss paagalkhaane ki khasiyat iske andar sirf jaane ka hak mujhe tha,
sirf mere liye ye bana tha,sirf mere liye hi iske darwaaje khulle the, jis din maine isme kadam rakha aapki eyes se, saath hi darwaaje band ho gaye taaki mai na bahar jaa sakun na koi aur andar aa sake.. waise bhi kissi ke andar aane ka sawall hi paida nahi hota maine pura buk kar rakha hai paagal khaana, afterall payment kari hai shaadi karke.. aur tumhara paagal khaana mai hun…( he slightly giggled at his own talk)
(he slightly touched her hand with his chest, near his heart) aur tum yaha par qaid ho, yaha se har roj, har waqt riddhima riddhima ki aawajein aati rehti hai, mai shuru mai darr jaata tha, par ab aadat ho gayi hai, ab tum harkatein karti hi aisi ho jiske kaaran baar baar ye tumhara naam leta hai, kabhi itna saara pyar, kabhi itna saara trust, kabhi meethi meethi daant, kabhi itna innocently sona, kabhi sharmaana, kabhi meri aankhon mai
ghum ho jaana aur mujhe apne andar ghum kar lena….
Ab batao aise agar pyar bhari tum harkatein karogi to obviously ye aise hi react karega na… dono paagalkhaane ache haina, jinka astitva sirf ek dusre ke liye hai, ek dusre se hai…. Pyar logo ko sach mai kitna paagal bana deta haina, kaisi kaisi baatein karna sikha deta hai…. Ek pyara sa, charming sa, funky sa, play boy aisi baatein kar raha hai… can't imagine.. pehle jhooti jindagi jeeta tha ya ab??? pehle hi jeeta hounga coz ye sab to jhoota nahi ho sakta…. Lekin tumne sach mai mujhe paagal kar diya hai and that's reality.. par ek aur reality hai mujhe paagal hone mai maaja bhi bahut aa raha hai.. aisi paaglo waali baatein karne mai bhi.. (he again smiled)
riddhima slightly moved, armaan stopped mumbling, he just kept on caressing her hair, looking her deeply, riddhima moved her arms around his neck and waist.. and slightly opened her eyes… armaan mumbled gud morning my princess, riddhima nodded and smiled and slightly pulled him, may be wanted to hug him, armaan let him fall over her.. riddhima hugged him tightly, caressed his hair and mumbled I luv you, one tear was swinging on her eyes lids she quickly clears it,
she doesn't want to answer the question which armaan may ask seeing her tears…if she would tell him that she'd listened all his words then surely he would feel quiet embarrassed so let it be hidden… she wished if she could say i really loved the asylum, mai hamesha bas yehi rehna chahungi, hamesha mujhe yehi chuppa ke rakhna… paagal tum akele nahi hue, paagal mai bhi hui hun tumhare saath, and I'm also loving this madness….
She came in present when his hand touches her tummy… she twisted her head and slightly kisses on his cheeks… then looked at time it's 9:00, she asked him that they should get ready, though both wished to stop this time here only, coz both didn't want to separate… but coincidently both thought together sirf 4-5 dino ki hi to baat hai phir to 15 days saath hi rehna hai, sanjeevani se dur, sabse dur…waooo… both boosted up with this thought and detangled from each other… while getting up..
A: pehle tum taiyar ho jao, phir mai ho jaata hun…
R: armaan.. (he looked her, she was slightly blushing) wo mai.. mai actually soch rahi thi we're getting late… to.. to alag alag taiyar hone ki jagah kyun na saath saath…. (she start looking down, bites her own lips thinking ye kya keh rahi hun mai…) wo der ho rahi thi isliye… (she was confused, as armaan was looking constantly at her with surprise…then she hides herself in his chest)
A: (he pinched himself) oe nahi yaar mai sapna nahi dekh raha hun, aaj suraj kaha se nikla hai?? Lagta hai nikla hi nahi hai… iss se pehle ki tumhara iraada change ho jaye, I think hume directly bathroom mai challna chahiye, kapde hum baad mai nikal lenge… challo.. challo… (riddhima smiled still looking down)
Their bath was quiet romantic as well as full of love, both remained so engrossed in each
other's love that first of all they forgot to open the shower, both were bathing in love in each others eyes, came in present when from riddhima's hand soap case dropped, finally they took a very romantic shower and after that when riddhima wore her towel gown armaan stood in front of her, lightly pressing her body with his, riddhima was unknown to the fact that she had made the knot of belt around both of them locking themselves, when she turned to go, she realized what she'd done… she mumbled oops, but armaan asked her to stand on his foot, rather then opening the knot, and from bathroom to store room they walked means armaan walked with her feets on his, finally detangled thinking dekhne se to kabhi mann bharega nahi, pyar karne se bhi mann nahi bharega… par kaam to karna hai na.. patients wait kar rahe honge… both finally got ready…
R: armaan bike par challein, kitne din ho gaye hai we didn't go…
A: jab tak tum car nahi seekh jaati no bike… abhi sanjeevani tak tumhi car challakar jaogi… (riddhima wants to say no but) aah hhuh no excuses, car to tum hi drive karogi.. (riddhima showed him her tongue with anger, and makes a face, armaan smiled at her kiddish act… he mkes a face as if giving kiss to a small child, riddhima settled on driver seat) so sweet…(riddhima again makes a face twisting her nose… again her driving was so rough,, but armaan didn't scold her and that irritated her the most, thinking why he's so calm, daant ta kyu nahi hai mujhe… somehow they reached sanjeevani, while getting down)
A: thankyou ji, mujhe jinda pahunchane ke liye…(she mumbled itni aasani se thodi na marne dungi….) kuch kaha tumne??? (riddhima shaked her head, both entered in hospital)
Niki, rohit, sanjana, anjali, rahul, muskaan, atul.. all were standing, waiting for dr. keerti… rohit hugged armaan and wished him new year, then gave side hug to riddhima, niki hugged riddhima, then on the verge of hugging armaan but he extended his hand, niki felt a little awkward but still she shaked hand, riddhima was also surprised…
Ra: happy new year armaan, riddhima…
Armaan turning with surprise..
A: aap logo ki shakal jaaani pehchani si lagti hai, hum kabhi mile hai kya?? Yaad kyu nahi aa raha???
R: armaannnn… happy new year rahul, muskaan, atul… (didn't looked at anjali, coz she knew what her reaction turn out to be)
A: (mumbled in riddhima's ear) tumne mujhe bolne kyu nahi diya??? (in between )
Sa: happy new year riddhima, armaan…
R: same to you… (armaan acted as if he didn't listen, ignoring her entirely as if she's not
standing there and mumbled in riddhima's ears batao na???? they were interrupted by dr. keerti, she gave them duties, when she said dr. sanjana, dr. armaan path lab… he looked at dr. keerti then riddhima, dr. keerti left…)
A: mujhe uske saath duty nahi karni hai… mujhe sirf tumhare saath duty karni hai… (holding her hand and saying like a baby..)
R: (placing her hand on his face) armaan at present tum doctor ho, dr armaan… armaan nahi… apni personal life ko professional ke saath mix mat karo…
A: par usne to ki thi na, infact professional life ki help lekar hamari personal life ko kharab karne ki koshish ki thi… mai uske saath duty nahi karunga..
R: uske saath kaha duty karni hai, tumne apna kaam karna hai usne apna kaam, challo be a gud boy aur jao pathlab mai, dr. keerti thodi der mai rounds par aati hi hongi…
A: (makes a face) okkkkk….. (riddhima smiled and kissed him on forehead)
R: ab hum lunch break par milte hai… (armaan nodded and both left)
Path lab…
Sa: armaan can you please give me that test tube box…. (armaan didn't reply, nor did he passed the box, remained working completely ignoring her, sanjana herself took the box.. after sometime) armaan can you please tell me where is propanol… (again no answer) armaan I'm talking to you, not the walls… (armaan remained unaffected, he was lost in his own.. for keeping himself calm, he was just thinking about riddhima, sanjana's presence was really not affecting him, not for once he felt the need to answer her… and sanjana was completely irritated by his attitude….)
Lunch break started, niki settled next to armaan.. armaan got up making an excuse that he's to order coffee for him.. then settled at the other end of table, there was no talk between niki and armaan, after 5 minutes riddhima, rohit entered in canten laughing over some joke… armaan smiled when saw her, admired her smile and mumbled in heart hayeee….. riddhima smiled and said hii to niki, then..
R: armaan tum itni dur kyu baithe ho, saari seats to khalli padi hui thi…
A: wo bas… acha tum batao tumne aane mai itni der kyu kar di, mai kab se wait kar raha tha…. Ab batao din kaisa raha tumhara aur kya khaogi???
Ni: haan isse mai to baithi hui najar aa nahi rahi thi…abhi tak aise chup chap baitha hua tha jaise hai hi nahi canteen mai, riddhima aayi to bad bad shuru…
Ro: ritu ka phone aaya tha, kal chirag ka b'day hai, kal unke ghr par get together hai…
R: waooo.. that's great….(armaan kept quiet, he's only talking to riddhima in between)
4 days passed…
Ni: (came running to riddhima) riddhima shahid ki movie lagi hai, dekhne chal na please please please…
R: (who was on the verge of entering in M.W) pehle to tu aaram se saans le… ab bata kya hua hai??
Ni: are yaar hona kya hai, mujhe movie dekhne jaana hai, abhi… 1 saal baad shahid ki movie aayi hai aur mai usse dekhne ka chance miss nahi kar skti…
R: to jaa dekhne kissne roka hai???
Ni: are yaar koi challega to hi jaungi… abhi to kabhi jaata hi nahi hai, rohit ko prachi ke saath ghumna hai, ritu ki tabiyat theek nahi hai, chirag ki important meeting hai, armaan ek vella tha uss se pucha to kehta ki nahi mai bahut thakka hua hun.. (imitating him)
R: yaar mai kaise jaungi, mai to check-ups ke liye jaa rahi hun, aur armaan ne mana kyu kiya, usse to movies dekhne ka shownk hai aur jab wo free hai to kyu nahi jaa raha????
Ni: pata nahi.. tum hi puch lo uss se… ajeeb manav pranni.. itna arrogantly behave kar raha hai 5-6 dino se, baat hi nahi karta… itna aajkal bore ho gaya hai, sabse kata kata rehta hai… pata hi nahi chalta ki wo hai bhi ya nahi… Riddhima sach sach btta ki tune armaan ko maara ya daanta to nahi, aajkal itne sade mood mai kyu rehta hai????
R: (thinking a bit) paagal hai kya??? Chal mai baat karti hun uss se, agar wo challa jaye to, nahi to 20 days baad hi program banega, kal to jaa nahi sakte..
Ni: haan kal to tum log ghumne jaa rahe ho…. par baat to tu uss se jarur kariyo, aajkal wo sathiya gaya hai… he really needs some medication…
R: nikkiiii….
Ni: okk fine, par tu uss se baat jarur kariyo, itna ignore apne doston ko karna theek baat nahi hai… hope ghum kar aaye to uska dimag pehle ki tarah well settled ho… (she left, riddhima messaged armaan to meet her in maternity ward.., when he came)
R: armaan tum niki ke saath movie dekhne kyu nahi gaye???
A: (hugging her) coz hum thodi der mai beach par ghumne jaa rahe hai, movies kitni boring hoti hai, uss se badiya 3 ghante tumhare saath ghum lun…(riddhima looked his face deeply wants to ask kya hua hai armaan but then shook her head, thinking it's not the perfect time to ask) tum apne patients check karo mai bahar wait karta hun….. (riddhima nodded, armaan left)
Riddhima was still thinking about his behaviour from past 5 days, neglecting his friends entirely, not speaking much, everyone was surprised by his behaviour, at chirag b'day party he remained so quiet, ritu was trying to raise controversy between them but he didn't reacted, lot of change came in his behaviour, he used to hug all his friends whenever he meets them, but now he just shakes hand or just pass a sweet smile… kept on avoiding his phone calls or always asks riddhima to attend the call… no pranks, no majak during lunch break,
ritu, rohit asked her armaan ko kya hua hai, itna chup-2 kyu hai, maja nahi aa raha party mai.. is everything alright??? Ridhima doesn't know what to answer coz armaan was very normal with her, same love, same pranks, same talks.. everything was same….and she didn't notice any disturbance on his face also, he seemed to be very happy… then where the problem is coming, today also he didn't go for movie….kya hua hai armaan ko… pareshaan to wo pukka nahi hai, nahi to uski aankhein jarur bata deti, kissi ne kuch aisa kaha bhi nahi ki wo sabko iss hadd tak neglect kare… kyun itna cut-off rehne lag gaya hai sabse… aaj to baat nahi kar paungi, hopefully Europe mai kuch jaan paun… aur jab waapis aaye to sab waisa hi ho… filhaal aaj mai iss baare mai koi baat nahi karungi…
with this determination she checked her patients, then both goes on beach… armaaan remaine very normal and in a very jolly mood with riddhima… shared some silent but deep and lovely moments.. then got up and came back to home.. once again checked if they had packed all the things, after assuring finally stretched on bed, giving each other good night kiss, finally fell asleep with armaan tightly holding riddhima from her waist, waiting excitedly for next morning….
Next day….
Ridddhima was attending calls since morning, ritu, chirag, niki, abhi, prachi, rohit everyone was calling them for saying goodbye, as both had asked them to not to come at airport…as ritu, prachi's condition was not ok, chirag have to go office, abhi factory, and niki, rohit in hospital.. so they'd strictly asked them not to come…. Armaan gave his cell to riddhima and himself placed suitcase in car… niki, ritu asked riddhima usse please waha se theek karke laiyo, paagal ho gaya hai wo… hume hamara armaan waapis chahiye wohi hasta hassata, pranks khelta hua.. please…. Riddhima nodded.. and said byeee to them….
Atlast armaan riddhima settled in car and moved towards airport. Armaan slipped his hand in riddhima's hand, and passed a sweet smile to her, riddhima also smiled and placed her head on his shoulder… both were excited, not for Europe but for spending time with each other lonely…. While on a way armaan asked driver to stop car…
R: kya hua armaan???
A: madam Europe jaa rahe hai, paas mai thode se to paise hone chahiye na, agar aise gaye to surely without kapde waapis aana padega… (riddhima smiled, and shaked her head… armaan get down from car….)
And that's it for today….
Precap: wait for Monday…..
Ishanki…
