Part 33
Riddhima was about to went inside her room when someone again knocked the door. Riddhima got angry and when she opened the door without looking up she said angrily "Ab tum jaate ho ya main..." she stopped in the mid-sentence seeing the person at the door. She was completely shocked. It was not Armaan...
Riddhima (shocked) - Tum???
{ aishar, arnavu (surbhi), Priya, Anu u guys guessed it right..yes He is RAJ...well done guys....a huge round of applause for u all..}
He was not Armaan but Raj. Raj was standing on the door with bouquet of roses in hands. His expresions changed from happiness to amazement and then confusion.
Raj - Ye tum kya kah rahi ho? main to abhi..
Riddhima (wanted to hit her head on the wall. She was very much embarrassed) - Nahi..wo..wo actually wo...
Then suddenly Aryan too came there after parking the car with a suitcase.
Aryan - Arey Riddhima yahan door par hi rakhne ka irada hai kya??
Riddhima - Nahi..wo.wo main....
Aryan (cutting her) - Raj please come in.
Both came inside while Riddhima kept standing at the door still not believeing what happened few minutes before. She was standing there as a statue looking at Raj and Aryan..
Aryan - Ridzi ye tujhe hua kya hai?? ab wahin khari rahegi kya??
Riddhima came out from the chain of thoughts.
Riddhima - Nahi wo main....main aa hi rahi thi..
Before closing the door she peeped out but Armaan had already went neither his bike was there nor he himself was anywhere. She had a sigh of relief and then she closed the door.
Aryan - Is everything alright Ridzi??
Riddhima nodded and then looked at Raj who was staring at her. Raj quickly adverted his gaze from her and then he remembered something..
Raj - Riddhima this is for you.
He gave her a bouquet of roses.
Riddhima - Thanks.
Aryan - Ridzi Raj kuch dino tak humare yahan hi rahega..
Riddhima (Shocked) - What?? par kyon??
Raj was a bit disappointed. He wasn't expecting this from Riddhima. And his disappointment was visible on his face.
Aryan (angrily he shouted on her) - Riddhima !! Aise baat ki jaati hai??
Riddhima (bowed her face) - I m Sorry.
Tears were clearly visible in her eyes. She rushed to her room. Aryan had never ever shouted on her. But today he shouted on her and that too in front of a guest. She was feeling very humiliated and bad.
Aryan - Wo Raj actually wo maine aachanak se tumhare aane ki news di na isi liye wo...Sorry..
Raj (very sweetly and politely) - Its Ok Bhaiya..i can understand...aur please aapko mujhse maafi mangne ki koi jarurat nahi hai.. Main samajh sakta hoon..but please aap Riddhima ke paas jaiye. Usse bahut bura lag raha hoga..
Aryan - Haan bahut bura lag raha hoga..maine aaj tak kahi usse daanta nahi hai..but aaj...main uske paas jaata hoon..tab tak tum jaa kar fresh ho jao.
Raj - Ji but kaun se room mein..
Aryan - Kissi mein bhi jaa sakte ho. waise bhi poora ghar to khali hi rehta hai. bas main aur Ridzi hi rehte hain. aur servants to servants quater mein rehte hain. to poora ghar khali hi rehta hai.
Raj - Ohh. But phir bhi.
Aryan - Ok then Left side first room.
Raj - Thanks. ab aap jaiye.
Aryan nodded and then left for Riddhima's room. Raj too went to the room instructed by Aryan.
Riddhima's room.
Aryan knocked Riddhima's door but the door was open so he stepped inside but Riddhima didn't notice as she was engrosed in something else. He saw Riddhima sitting on her study table engrosed in something. He went close to her and after seeing what Riddhima was doing Aryan felt like beating himself for shouting on Riddhima. Riddhima was holding a photograph of Padma with her and Aryan. Her tears were continuosly flowing from her eyes and she was just looking at the photo. Aryan put her hand on her shoulder. As Riddhima realised someone's hand on her shoulder she looked up and saw Aryan stading there looking at her with painful eyes. She quickly turned her face away from him and then wiped her tears. Aryan's eyes too filled with tears seeing his Princess crying. He knelt down beside her chair and then hold his ears.
Aryan (quivering voice) - I M SORRY (He had his face bowed)
Riddhima turned to look at him and was very shocked seeing Aryan in that state. She too knelt on the ground beside him and took pff his hands from his ears.
Riddhima (crying) - No...I m sorry Bhaiya. (hiccupping between her sobs) Bhiaya ..mer..mera kehne ka.wo ..matlab nahi tha..mai..main to.bas..main to bas.
Aryan didn't let her to complete the sentence and hugged her. She cried on his chest and kept saying "I M SORRY Bhiaya" . Aryan patted her back and tried to smooth her.
Aryan (patting her back) - SShhhhhh....Riddhima rote nahi hain...please chup ho jao.
Riddhima (still crying) - I m sorry Bhaiya.
Aryan (cupping her face and wipeing her tears) - Its ok dear. main bilkul bhi tumse gussa nahi hoon. Infact i should say sorry to u. mujhe tum par chillana nahi chahiye tha. I m Sorry. Maa se kiya hua wada main poora nahi kar paya. aaj tum meri wajah se hi..
Riddhima - Nahi bhaiya.. (Now wiping Aryan's tears) aap to duniya ke sabse best bhaiya ho. Aur aapne koi wada nahi tora hai.
She hugged him.
Aryan - Riddhima wo maine Mr. Saxena ko bol diya hai ki jab tak Raj ko koi accommodation nahi mil jaati tab tak wo humare saath reh sakta hai. Ab agar main unhe ye kahoonga ki...
Riddhima - Bhaiya Raj ek wahan rehne se mujhe koi problem nahi hai..wo to bas main. Mujhe uske yahan rehne se koi problem nahi hai.
Aryan - Thanks Ridzi..Thanks a lot.
Then suddenly Raj knocked the door.
Raj - Agar bhai behan ki emotional baatein ho gayi ho to kya main andar aa sakta hoon??
Riddhima (wiping her tears and standing up) - Haan haan Raj aao na.
Aryan too stood up and wiped his tears.
Riddhima - WO Raj mere uss behaviour ke liye Sorry. WO main thora
Raj - Kaun sa behaviour??
Riddhima - WO jo maine abhi kuch der pehle.
Raj - Riddhima jo beet gayi wo baat gayi. aur waise bhi tumhe sorry bolne ki koi jarurat nahi hai,
Riddhima - Thanks.
Aryan - Acha chalo mujhe bahut tez bhookh lagi hai.
Raj - Haan main issi liye aap dono ko bulane aaya tha. wo maine aap dono ke liye kuch khane ka banaya hai..i hope u will like it..
Aryan - To hum yahan kya kar rahe hain. jaldi chalo.
They all went to the dinner table. and Raj served them Maggie.
Raj - Aap log maggie to khate hain na?? actually mujhe maggie ke alava kuch banana nahi aata aur jab maien kitchen mein maggie ka packet dekha to...
Riddhima - Thanks Raj..i just love Maggie..
Aryan - Me too...
They had a very tasty maggie break.. (yummmmy....i too m going to eat Maggie right now.. i just love Maggie... yum-yum...yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyy..)
In The Evening.
Raj - Waise mujhe ye poochna tha ki wo kamre mein kiske kapre rakhe hue hain??
Aryan - Tumhare room mein??
Raj - Haan. jab maine cupboard khola to wahan already kuch shirts aur jeans rakhe hue the.
Riddhima - Wo bhaiya Armaan ke hoonge. Usne apne stuffs yahin chod diye the.
Aryan - Ohh..
Raj was now confused. What was Armaan doing in their house?? Armaan and Riddhima are just frnds or something else??? And why was Aryan soo somfortable with Armaan?? WHO IS ARMAAN.??
He came back to reality when Riddhima's phone started ringing.
Riddhima - Excuse me.
She went in her room.
Riddhima - Ji papa boliye..
Shashank - tumhe yaad hai na ki aaj Saturday hai. aur tumhe yahan aana hai.
Riddhima - Haan papa mujhe yaad hai but ghar mein guest aaye hue hain. to ho sakta hai ki main nahi aa paoon.
Shashank - Beta tum Wednesday ko bhi nahi aayi thi. bahut mann kar raha hai tumse milne ko.
Riddhima - Acha papa main try karti hoon ok.
Shashank - ok beta..bye
Riddhima - Bye papa.
She cut the call and started thinking about some plans. So that she can meet Shashank. Then one name came in her mind "ARMAAN" she called him.
Riddhima - Hello Armaan.
Armaan - Bolo Basket...
Riddhima - Kya kar rahe ho??
Armaan - Kyon bahut miss kar rahi ho???
Riddhima - Please batao na..
Armaan - Wo main TV dekh raha tha.
Riddhima - Kya tum abhi free ho??
Armaan - tumhare liye to main poori zindagi free hoon.
Riddhima blushed.
Riddhima - Armaan!!
Armaan - Riddhima!!
Riddhima - Acha kya tum yahan aa sakte ho??
Armaan - Arey subah to mujhe ghar se dhake maar kar nikal diya aur ab khud mujhe bula rahi ho??? kahin phir se ghar se..
Riddhima - I m sorry.
Armaan - Arey main to mazak kar raha tha basket. tum serious ho gayi?? acha bolo kya kaam hai??
Riddhima - wo papa ka call aaya tha. wo mujhse milne chahte hain. but bhaiya ghar mein hi hain. to tum yahan aa jao. aur kisi bahane mujhe papa ke paas le chalo..
Armaan - Kyon main tumhe driver dikhta hoon??
Riddhima - Aur nahi to kya...
Armaan - Sachi?? main tumhe driver lagta hoon?? to jao main nahi le jaoonga tumhe.
Riddhima - Arey maine sach hi to kaha tum to ho na Driver..mere Driver..shirf Mere Driver.
Armaan (jumping with excitment) - Oye Hoye basket. agar tum daily aisi sweet sweet batein karogi na to mujhe tumhara official driver banne mein bhi koi problem nahi hoga..
Riddhima blushed.
Riddhima - so r u coming??
Armaan - Jaisa aapka aadesh (order) ho Mam.
Riddhima (simply) - I love you Armaan.
Armaan - Love u too Basket.....coming in minutes.
Riddhima went back o the hall with a smile on her face. Raj noticed her smiling so heartly. She looks so cute.
Aryan - Kiska call tha??
Riddhima was nervous. Now again she was in trouble. She can't tell him about Shashank. She was confused.
Riddhima - wo...wo..Muskaan ka call tha..ek question ka answer pooch rahi thi.
Aryan - Ohhhh...
After few minutes.
Someone knocked the door. Aryan went to open the door. Armaan was standing there.
Aryan - Arey Armaan Tum..andar aao.
Aryan and Armaan went to the hall.
Aryan - Ridzi dekho kaun aaya hai.
Riddhima turned and saw Armaan standing with Aryan. As she saw him, a huge smile carved on her rosy lips. Armaan too flashed his dimples. Then suddenly his eyes went on the man sitting beside Riddhima. It was Raj.
Raj - Hi Armaan!!
Armaan - Hi...
Raj - Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho??
Armaan (to himself) - Ye sawal to mujhe tujhse poochna chahiye. waise bhi ye mera hone wala Sashuraal (In laws house) hai.
Raj - Kya hua?? kahan kho gaye??
Armaan (came out from his thought) - nahi kahin nahi. (To Aryan) - Bhaiya wo poora din padh padh kar bahut jyada stressed ho gaya tha to maine..
Aryan (cutting him in between) - Armaan ye tumhara hi ghar hai. jab chahe tab aa sakte ho samjhe..
Armaan smiled and sat beside Riddhima.
Armaan - To Saare chapters complete ho gaye..
Riddhima - Hmmm...
Armaan - To ice cream khane chalogi??
Riddhima looked at Aryan who nodded.
Riddhima - Ok...chalo.
Aryan - Tum log Raj ko bhi saath le jao. ghar par bore ho jayega. main bhi thori der mein aata hoon.
Armaan (mischievously) - Tum se milne ki tamanna hai Pyaar ka irada hai aur ek wada hai Jaanam.
Aryan - Maar khayega tu...samjha....
Armaan smiled so did Riddhima and Aryan. Raj was confused. What was they talking about???
Aryan - To Raj tum ye logon ke saath chale jao, Rahul se bhi mil lena ok.
Riddhima - Par bhaiya.
Armaan (pressing her hand) - Ok Bhiaya..Have fun... enjoy ur evening..
Aryan - Beta tu ruk...batata hoon main tujhe..
All laughed.
In Car .
Armaan and Raj were sitting in the front seats and Riddhima in the back seat. She was confused. Raj was there with them. How would she meet Shashank?? Armaan knew that Riddhima must be nervoused. And for confirmation he looked in the mirror to find Riddhima fiddling with her duppatta. SHe had a frown on fer face. Armaan smiled looking at her. She looked soo cute when she is nervous.
Armaan - To Raj tumhe ice cream khani hai??
Raj - Nahi wo mujhe Tonsil problem hai. to main nahi khaoonga.
Armaan - Hmm to main tumhe Rahul ke ghar drop kar deta hoon kyon ki humari Miss. Riddhima ko ice cream bahut pasand hai. aur ye ek saath 4-4 ice cream kha sakti hai. to thora time lagega. so hum tumhe Rahul ke ghar drop kar dete hain.
Raj - Ok. as u wish.
Riddhima smiled. Armaan was soo clever. Armaan dropped Raj to Rahul's house and then headed towards teh ice cream parlour were Riddhima and Shashank use to meet each other. Shashank was sitting on the corner table waiting for Riddhima. Riddhima went there and hugged him.
Riddhima - Hii Papa...kaise hain aap??
Shashank - hii beta, main bilkul thik hoon. mujhe to laga tha ki tum nahi aaogi.
Armaan - Jab tak Armaan hai tab tak aapko iski tension lene ki koi jarurat nahi hai.
Soon they became busy in their talking session.
Riddhima (worried) - Papa mujhe bilkul bhi acha nahi lagta Bhaiya se jhooth bol ke. Maine kabhi bhi unse jhooth nahi bola hai but aaj kal to har baat par unse jhooth bolti hoon.
Shashank - I m sorry Beta. meri wajah se...
Riddhima - papa maine kitni baar aapko kaha hai ki aapko sorry bolne ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Waise kya hum bhaiya ko nahi bata sakte??
Armaan - Nahi agar unhe aise achanak se pata chalega to wo kabhi Uncle ko accept nahi kareinge. Humein dhere dhere unhe sab kuch batana hoga..
Shashank - Matlab???
Armaan - Matlab ki ab jo karna hai Riddhima ko karna hai. Dekho Riddhima tum kisi bhi tarah Padma aunty ka wo letter Bhaiya ke kisi file mein daal do. Taki pehle unhe ye pata chala ke Aunty ki death unke heart mein hole se hui hai. Isse Uncle ka koi connection nahi hai. Agar wo Aunty ke saath bhi hote to bhi aunty...
He was not able to continue as Riddhima had started sobbing. Tears were flowing from her eyes. Shashank was about to console her when he saw Armaan moving towards her, holding her shoulder and trying to make her calm.
Armaan - Riddhima. please aise ro matt. tumhe pata hai na ki kisi ko tumhare ye aansoo (tears) bahut takleef dete hain (He very cleverly hide his name). Please Riddhima stop crying. Tum janti ho Padma Aunty kar waqt tumhare saath hain. Har waqt wo tumhe dekhti rahti hain. Aur jab unhe pata chalega ki unki ye princess ro rahi hai to unhe bahut takleef hogi. Please Riddhima stop crying.
Riddhima looked at him. It seems that Armaan was suffering from too much pain. His pain was visible in his eyes. Riddhima stopped crying. Armaan wiped her tears and signaled her to smile. and she smiled.
Shashank was able to see The ocean of Love in Armaan's eyes for Riddhima. He was very happy to see thst his daughter was very lucky to have Armaan in her life.
Shashank - Haan Riddhima Armaan ko tumhare inn aansoon se bahut takleef hoti hai.
Both Armaan and Riddhima were shocked. They looked at each other and then at Shashank. Shashank was smiling.
Shashank - Riddhima main tumhara baap hoon. Tumhe kya lagta hai mujhe pata nahi chalega ki tum dono ek dooshre se kitna pyaar karte ho.
Riddhima - Papa..!!
Shashank hugged her and then signaled Armaan to join them. Now shashank was hugging both Armaan and Riddhima.
Shashank - Bhawan kare tum dono ko kissi ki nazar na lage.
At Rahul's House.
Raj - Ye Armaan aur Riddhima abhi tak aaye kyon nahi ??
Rahul - Ho sakta hai traffic mein fans gaye hoon.
Then Suddenly Armaan and Riddhima came. Both having a smile of Victory. It seems that they have won any kind of battle.
Raj - Arey kahan the tum dono itni deer se??
Armaan - Wo actually car kharab ho gayi thi..to issi liye time lag gaya.
Rahul - Car kharab hui thi ya phir??
Armaan - Lagta hai aaj kissi ko bahut maar parne wali hai.
(Yes You all guessed it right. Rahul was aware of their relationship. Riddhima had told him 2 weeks before that She loves Armaan and he too loves her. And from then on Rahul is pampering them like anything.)
Raj - Kya matlab??
Riddhima - Nahi kuch nahi..actually Armaan Rahul se aise hi baat karta hai..
Raj - ohh..
Armaan - Acha Raj tumne bataya nahi tum yahan Mumbai mein kya kar rahe ho??
Raj - Wo main yahan Sanjeevani mein intership karne aaya hoon..
Armaan - Ohhh....aur tum kahan stay kar rahe ho??
Raj - Riddhima ke ghar par. actually Aryan bhaiya ne dad ko kaha hai ki jab tak koi accommodation nahi mil jati tab tak main unke wahan hi rukoonga.
Rahul - Ohhh....
Riddhima - Acha Rahul mujhe wo notes chahiye..
Rahul - Kaun se??
Riddhima - Wo jo maine tujhe diya tha....wohi wale.
Rahul (embarrassed) - Wo to maine Muski ko de diye..usse notes chahiye the to maine usse de diye..
Armaan - Waah waah kya pyaar hai.
Rahul - tu to chup hi rah samjha..warna..
Riddhima - Ok guys..stop fighting....aur Rahul its ok..main phir se bana loongi....ab humein chalna chahiye kafi late ho gaya hai..
Armaan - Don't worry....i m sure aaj Bhaiya late se aayeinge... (he winked at her)
Riddhima blushed.
Raj - Thik Hai Rahul...tujhe baad mein milta hoon...bye.
Rahul - Bye....
Raj, Armaan and Riddhima went.
Here in Delhi.
Rajeev (Raj's Dad) was talking with someone on the phone.
Rajeev - Congratulations Raj Riddhima ke ghar pahoonch chuka hai.
Caller - Good..but abhi to plan start hi hua hai...
Rajeev - Don't worry humara plan successful hoga. Riddhima aur Armaan alag ho ke raheinge. Aur tumhe tumhara beta wapas mil jayega.
Yes the caller was none other than DILIP MALLIK
Dilip - Haan aur Armaan ko paane ke liye main kuch bhi kar sakta hoon...kuch bhi....chahe uske liye mujhe uss Abhimanyu ya Riddhima ko maarna hi kyon na pare.... Armaan ko mere paas aana hi hoga....
