Part 40
When Juhi entered her office she found Sid sleeping. She did not want to disturb him so she quietly sneeked out. She thought of checking on Riddhima as she was upset in the afternoon before leaving for the day.
Juhi: Riddhima tum theek ho!
Riddhima looked up from the file she was working on. 'Woh abhi bhi so raha hai'
Juhi: Kaun?
Riddhima: Sid......Siddhant ...... correctly herself quickly
Juhi: Hmmm!!! .......par tumhe kaise maloom
Riddhima: Woh.........trying to make up a reason .........actually mein wahi se guzaar rahi thi tab dekha......
Juhi: Tum theek ho?
Riddhima: Haan!
Juhi: Tumhe baat karni hai ?
Riddhima: Kis baare mein ?
Juhi: Wohi jo tumne dauper ko bataya ........tumhara shifting out ?
Riddhima: Nahi............... tumne sahi bola usse kuch problem solve nahi hoga.............
Juhi: Baat karne se ya shift out?
Riddhima: dono actually ..........
Juhi: phir kyu kiya ?
Riddhima: Juhi ........jaane ne de na .......kya fayada .........
Juhi: Yeh Sid ke wajay se nahi na .............
Riddhima: Nahi ..............Sid ka isse kuch lene dena nahi hai ...............
Juhi noticed conviction in Riddhima's voice for the first time in many days. Juhi yet did not know Sid was indeed in Sanjeevani itself. But just wanted to confirm if it was just a camoflague or not though 'Tum jhoot toh nahi bol rahi na ?'
Riddhima: Jhoot kyu bolungi...........? woh bhi tumse........jo sab meine kabhi kisi ko nahi bataya hai woh sab mein tumhare saath share karti ayi hoon .........tum hi toh ek aise dost ho jisse mein apne dil ki baat bata sakti hoon ..............Sid ke hone na hone se mere decision pe koi farak nahi padta........
Juhi: toh aisa kya hua jo tumne aisa decision le liye woh bhi itne saalo baad.........? 5-6 saal hogaye hai na ab tak tumhe aur armaan ko alag rehte huye?
Riddhima: 7 saal ........
Juhi: toh ab kya hua Riddhima?
Riddhima: jaane de na .......... koi fayada nahi .............
Juhi: Theek hai ..............as long as you know what you are doing..............I just hope you have not taken a hasty decision. Chalo mein chalti hoon it was a long day
Riddhima: Bye ............Good night.............. Suno Juhi.......
Juhi: Haan ......kya hua........
Riddhima: Woh Siddhant woh kab tak jayega............
Juhi: No clue ............ kyu ..........
Riddhima: Nahi mein soch rahi thi......... already he must be tired and sleepy ........... Not a good idea to drive like this ............ uske liye taxi arrange kar dena chahiye...........
Juhi: Hmmmmmm but he can just walk out and take one.......... but yes it will
Riddhima: will you ask the admin team to arrange one please ........
Juhi: Hmmm will do ........... you take care ............ bye
Riddhima bid her goodbye and returned to the file she was working on before Juhi came. Sid preoccupied her mind; his stressed face his restlessness did not allow her mind to settle down on work. Finally she gave up. Once again she found herself rooted to the spot from where she watched Sid that evening.
Before leaving Juhi had checked on Sid as to when he would be leaving so as to arrange the cab for him. But Sid being Sid he was not going to leave until she was a little assured that Purva is handling the surgery well.
Seeing Sid still being there perturbed Riddhima. 'Yeh ab tak kya kar raha hai .......... Is he fine? Abhi bhi bahoot thaka lag raha hai ............ Juhi se poochti hoon .............
She quickly called Juhi ........ 'Juhi .....Siddhant abhi tak ghar nahi gaya hai'
Juhi: Haan woh bola tha he will check on Purva that is why he is waiting
Riddhima: Post operative care ke liye doctors hai toh kyu ......... yeh kyu itna stress le raha hai ... tumne samjhaya nahi kya
Juhi: No point arguing with him .....Kyu kya hua? Why are you asking?
Riddhima: Nahi woh itna thaaka lag raha hai ............samaj mein aa raha tha ki uski tabyat theek hai ya nahi ........if he needed anything ya nahi ......... tumne admin ko bol diya tha na
Juhi: Nahi ........whats the point .......when he will leave we really don't know ........... actually why don't you check on him after sometime ...........what he is doing is not healthy....... he has not slept for two to three odd days ...........
This bothered Riddhima even more. She answered affirmatively and disconnected the call. She looked at Sid and she knew she had to do something.
