I'll be there for you
Part II
After two months:
Armaan searched for Bharti everywhere but he couldn't find her. He didn't go back to his home or to his office. He was almost mad.๐คข
Dard mein bhi yeh lab muskura jaate hai
Beete lamhein hamein jab bhi yaad aate hai
Beete lamhein.......
Chand lamhaaat ke waaste hi sahi
Muskuraakar mili thi mujhe zindagi
Armaan Bharti VM Beete Lamhe
An ArBi VM by Hasini. Do watch it, it is very touching๐. Thanks Hasini๐ค
It was midnight; Armaan was sleeping resting his back on the trunk of a tree. He was within a jungle. Now it really doesn't matter whether he is eating or not, whether he is sleeping or not. He has already withdrawn all the money from his bank account.๐
Suddenly he woke up hearing a noise. He opened his eyes and saw a girl running and two men running after her. Armaan quickly stood up and followed them. Suddenly the girl bumped into him. Armaan could see her face now (though it was quite dark), it was Bharti.๐ฒ Bharti instantly lost her consciousness and fell into Armaan's arms. ๐ณThose two men were afraid and they fled from there.
Armaan couldn't believe his eyes.
"Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi
kismet pe aye na yakeen"
Armaan tried to wake her up. "Bharti, Bharti". He carried her to a nearby waterfall. He sprinkled water to her face.
After sometimes Bharti opened her eyes very slowly.
Armaan: Bharti
Bharti looked into Armaan's eyes, she was very scared. ๐She stood up instantly and pushed Armaan very hard. Armaan fell on the ground and Bharti ran away. Armaan stood up, but Bharti was not there. He searched for her, but she was nowhere.๐
Armaan was shattered.๐ฅบ Was it a dream? In these two months Bharti came into his dreams a lot times. He sat down in despair.๐ญ
...........................................................................
Next day Armaan came to the nearby village, it was a special day. Everyone was going somewhere. He asked a person.
The person: aj bhagwan ji ki shaadi hai, hum mandir ja rahe hai
Armaan was perplexed, "bhagwan ki shaadi?" ๐He was curious, he followed them.
He saw Bharti again. She was in a wedding dress. But where is her bridegroom? Oh, yes, Armaan could see a idol of "bhagwanji" beside Bharti.
Armaan (shouted): rukiye, aap sab rukiye, yeh shaadi nahi ho sakti
Everyone was shocked.๐ฒ They looked at Armaan. They could see a man with a very miserable appearance, with torn dirty clothes and who has not shaven for at least for a month.๐
Armaan: ruk jaiye, yeh meri patni hai, main isse apne saath le jaunga.
There was a chaos among the crowd. The "pandit" of that temple asked Armaan: kaun hai aap? Yeh aapki biwi hai? Aapke paas koi sabut hai iska?
Armaan didn't have any proof. He lost Bharti's photograph during the accident. He thought "kaise kahoon uski tasbeer to mere dil mein hai".๐
Panditji: dekhiye, do mahine se yeh larki is gaon mein hai, yeh kaun hai kisiko pata nahi, yeh apni beete hue zindagi ke bare mein sabkuchh bhul chuki hai. main isse apne paas rakh raha tha, lekin kya kare, ek jawan khubsurat avivahit larki, isse mein bure logo se bach nahi sakta. Jab se sab ko pata chala ke mere ghar mein ek khubsurat larki hai hamesha i koi na koi ake bol raha hai ke yeh uski patni hai. aur aj aap phirse wohi keh rahe hai.๐
Armaan: mera viswas kijiye, dekhiye.... and he came to Bharti, he hold her hands and said "Bharti, tum mujhe pehchan nahi pa rahi ho? main Armaan, tumhara pati? Tumhe kuchh bhi yaad nahi hai?"๐
Bharti was very frightened.๐ฒ She ran away towards Panditji and hide herself behind him. Armaan was totally heartbroken.๐คข
Panditji: dekhiye, aap isse darayie mat. Maine yeh tair kiya hai ke iski shaadi bhagwanji se karwa denge, yeh mandir ki dasi ban jayegi aur phir koi bhi isse chhunese darega. Aap idhar se jayie.๐ก
Armaan didn't know what to do.๐ He suddenly got an idea.
Armaan: aaplog iski shaadi karwana chahte hai na? main karunga isse shaadi, mujhe apni patni se dusribar shaadi karne mein koi dikkat nahi hai.
There was again a chaos among the crowd. Panditji was thinking "yeh agar shaadi hi karna chahte hai to kya dikkat ho sakti hai? is larki ko apna pati mil jaega aur hume bhi isse chhutkara mil jaega".
Panditji: Thik hai, aap shaadi kar lijiye Raksha se. (now Bharti's name is Raksha)
Armaan married Bharti again in mandir. This time it was "Agni Sakshi" and "Red Sindoor". Armaan kept remembering their "Barf Sakshi marriage".
He looked at Bharti. She was giving a look which is a mixture of "fear, hatred, worry, annoy".๐
Armaan thinking: Bharti, mujhe pata hai tum mujhe bhul gayi ho, lekin main khush hun, kyun ki tum phir se mere saath ho, I know our future journey will be difficult, but I am ready to fight, main phirse tumhara pyar jitunga, tumhe sabkuchh yaad dilaunga".๐
.......................................................................................
It was their Suhag Raat.๐ณ Armaan and Bharti were sitting on the bed. Bharti was very scared. Armaan could understand what Bharti was feeling. He is a complete stranger to her.๐
Armaan: daro mat, I will not touch you. mujhe pata hai tumhe kuchh yaad nahi hai, main tumhe sabkuchh yaad dilane me madat karunga. Abhi tum so jao.๐
He let her sleep in the bed and he slept on the ground.๐
Next day Armaan bid good bye to the villagers and brought Bharti to Mumbai, to his house. All the time Bharti didn't even spoke a single word. Armaan could understand how scared she was. He thought he will not inform others about Bharti, Bharti will be more scared if she meets so many strangers together. But he informed Bharti's father (her mother died when she was a child). She couldn't identify her father as well. She didn't spoke a single word.๐
Days passed but Bharti was still not speaking. Finally doctor realized that Bharti can't talk, she totally lost her voice due to the accident.๐
.......................................................................................
It was the most difficult part of Armaan's life. He has to remind Bharti everything of her past. He tried every possible ways. He took her to the places where she spent her childhood, he took her to their office, he took her to the places where they shared beautiful moments, he showed her photographs. But everything was in vein. ๐
The most difficult part was that he didn't know what was there in Bharti's mind as she never spoke a single word. Some times Armaan treated her with love and care, some times he lost his temper he shouted at her "kya tumhe kuchh bhi yaad nahi?" which made Bharti more scared. Armaan instantly controlled himself "I am sorry".๐ญ
Two more months passed like this. Though Bharti couldn't remember anything but she understood that Armaan is not a bad guy, he really cares for her. She started doing all the works a "ideal bahu" does. But Armaan didn't stop trying. ๐But Bharti couldn't remember anything.๐
It was enough for Armaan. He feels so lonely now. Bharti is with him all the time, she is doing all her duties as his wife, but she never looks at him as she looked earlier. No love was left within her.๐ฅบ
.......................................................................................
That day Armaan drank a lot. He came back home totally drunk. ๐He went to his room. Bharti was making his bed. He couldn't control himself. He hugged her from behind. Bharti was afraid.๐ฒ She pushed him and tried to run away from the room. But Armaan held her hand.๐ฒ
Armaan (in anger): kya ho gaya hai tumhe Bharti? Tumhe abh mera chhuna bhi pasand nahi.๐ก
He pulled her towards him. Bharti was shivering in fear.๐ณ
Armaan: sab kuchh try kar liya, today I will touch you. May be you will recognize my touch.
He forcefully kissed her.
