DMG 3 AR & ArSh (KAJEN & KASH) Compltd

As I am a diehard DMG fan especially of the KaSh phase for me the sequel would be worth watching only if the two get together. But with the botched ending and stupid story the CV's came up with some damage control needs to be done and a story needs to be there to make people watch the show again. So here I am coming up with my version of DMG 3.

The story is going to start from where the show ended with AR reunion and every one happy about it.

Armaan couldn't believe that after every thing they were together "Armaan and Ridhima" were together. He kept touching her to convince himself that she was real and not a hallucination of his mind. Ridhima also on her part was thinking the same thing especially with Sid being present there also gave her a jolt. On one hand she was happy that she and Armaan were back together but on the other looking at Sid gave her a pang of guilt. Armaan had an arm around shoulders keeping Ridhima to his side as if afraid that if he stopped touching her she would vanish.

Every one was talking at once happy to see both of them together. A good amount of ribbing was directed towards Armaan and Ridhima and everyone was interested to know when they would be tying the knot. Before both of them could come up with an answer Sid walked up to them.

Sid: Hey guys! Meri flight ka time ho gaya hai mein ab chalta hoon. I just wanted to see you both together happy that's why I had stopped but now mission accomplished.

Armaan: Sid yaar, Thanks. Tu na hota to na jane hum kabhie ek ho pate bhi ya nahin.

Sid: Armaan is mein thanks ki kya baat hain. Jo tera tha use lota raha hoon. I just wish now that both of you are always happy and together.

Ridz: Sid tum'.. I'm '.(looking up at him with tears in her eyes)

Sid: Hey Ridhima, ab in ansoon ki kya zaroorat ab to sab theek hai.

Ridz: per sid tum theek hoon.

Sid: haan ridhima mein bilkul theek hoon finally or pata hai kyon, kyonki ab everything is in its place. Or ab tum agay ke barey mein socho peche dekhna chor do

Ridz: kya tum peche dekhna chor do ge agay dekh pao ge.

After gazing at her silently for a second he said: jab peche kuch apna hai he nahin to kya dekhna

Ridz: sid aise to na kaho'..tum'

Sid: Ridhima relax mein mazak kar raha tha'(with a laugh) he couldn't completely hide the pain he was feeling. Jahan tak agaey bardhaney ke baat hai to I hope so ridhima, I sincerely hope so that I find someone who loves me and only me.

With those words uttered they hung between the both of them. Even with him trying so hard to keep the hurt out of his voice the pain sort of spilled over. They kept looking at each other, both reading the emotions in each other eyes, hurt, understanding , love, guilt, apology all were mixed up.

Armaan: yaar tere liye dil se dua he nikltey hai. You are the best friend we both could ever ask for tunne hamare liye jo kiya who hum kabhie nahin bhol sakte and I wish and pray that you also find someone who gives you all the love you deserve.

Sid managed to tear his gaze away from Ridhima and smiled crookedly at Armaan and said : thanks yaar! Ab mein chalta hoon flight ka time ho raha hai.

Ridz: Sid apna address to dete jao hum tumhein shaadi ka card bhegein gae. Shaadi pae to aoge na. (she was looking at him hopefully she did not why but she did not want to believe that it was the last time she would be meeting Sid. She did not want him to leave but was not sure that she could manage with him being in Mumbai in Sangeevani.)

Sid looked at her and very slowly shook his head in negative and smiled. Sid: nahin mein nahin aonga.

Ridz: per'.

Armaan: Ridhima, don't.

Sid: yaar address to tumhein Sanjeevani ke records se mil jae ga per shaadi'.( he just shook his head)

Armaan: we understand but stay in touch don't forget us.

Ridhima during this exchange stayed quite looking at Sid with teary eyes.

Sid: impossible hai yaar tum logon ko bholna. Acha to chalta hoon take care.

With that he and armaan moved into a manly hug thumping each other on the back, moving back Sid looked at Ridhima and said: bye (with a smile).

He raised his hand wiped away a lone tear that had managed to escape from the corner of Ridhima's eye. With that he turned and left, walking towards waiting car.

As the car drove away Ridhima turned towards Armaan and said: kya uska jaana zaroori tha?

Armaan after a pause looked at Ridz and said: haan shaid ! uske liye tha.

At the same time Dr. Shashank and Padma gathered around them along with the rest of the gang and they had no more opportunity to talk about Sid.

On the other hand Sid at the airport was checking in at the counter. After check in he made his way to the lounge and sat in a seat far away far away from the rest of the crowd. He took his mobile out of his pocket and dialed a number.

After a little while the call connected and Sid said: Hi! Kaisi ho disturb to meine nahin kiya tumhein Shilpa.

On the other end (yes it is our very own) Shilpa was looking out side the window at the softly falling rain and said: of course not tum kabhie bhe call mujhe ker sakte ho jante ho na. aur batao kaise call kiya kahan ho tum.

Sid (smiling a little): airpot pe! Abhi check in kiya hai abhi ghante mein flight hai America ki.

Shilpa: tum wapas ja rahe ho (her expressions remained even)

Sid: haan Armaan aur Ridhima ab saath hain to ab meri kya zaroorat, aur pooch to aise rahi ho jaise tum jantei nahin. Tum yae baat us din se jantei ho jis din tum Sanjeevani chod ke gaye thie per itna nahin hoa ke mujhe bata detei (with each passing word his tone became angrier and harsher).

Shilpa: bata ke jaati to kya tumhare sumajh mein ata (said quietly)

Stopping Sid from launching into a angry tirade and closing his eyes tiredly and said: I'm sorry! I know you are right it just '..

Shilpa: hurts. (completing his sentence) I know and I'm sorry too but there was no other way. (she pressed her free hand against glass window and looked out with world weary eyes).

Shilpa: so what now what do you plan to do.

Sid: go back home complete internship become a doctor and hopefully try and get a life. (there was a pause and then he said: Shilpa I ' I told Armaan about your relationship with Ridhima and told him to tell her about you when everything between them is settled.(he ended quietly)

Shilpa: they know where to find me (her voice sounding too detached as if what they were talking about didn't affect her at all).

Sid: Shilpa are you alright?

Shilpa: haan sid. I'm just tired of'. Waiting I suppose for the right time. It just feels that the right time never comes. But like I said they know where I am I told them before leaving.

Sid: shilpa boarding ki announcement ho rahi hae. '.(silence stretched between them). Please contact mein rehna. Mera number tumhare pass haina or abhi tumhe apna address msg karta hoon. Tumhara address maine Sanjeevani se le liya hai.

Shilpa (laughed lightly): tum to pure tiyare ke saath ho. (then more seriously). I'll miss you keep in touch. Bye

Sid: bye shilpa. (disconnected the call, got up and walked towards the gate thinking: good bye ridhimaa I hope you remain happy always. And walked out the gate towards the plane.

On the other end Shilpa after disconnecting the call kept gazing out the window, trying hard to suppress the hope that had sprung in her with Sid' words. She shut her eyes willing herself to calm down when she heard someone behind her, turned and saw her Maasi

Maasi: Shilpa beta kya hoa sub theek haina

Shilpa : haan maasi sab theek hai ab.(and smiled). Chalo ab soote hain.

With this she took her maasi by the shoulders and walked out of the room.

Hey guys thanks for the feedback. It seems I've created a lot of confusion by not specifically categorizing whether it is AR or ArSh FF. But the problem is both the couples are integral part of the story. When every thing said and done AR reunion happened and I wasn't particularly happy about it but they did and for them to part ways or to end up with someone else also needs to be justified. I know I'm being logical but that's what I believe went wrong with the show which started of being a great youth oriented show but somehow lost its direction. I myself want Arsh track but for that to happen the AR track in my story is necessary without them being negative.

Net conclusion yes this is a Arsh FF but you won't be getting Arsh immediately so you'll have to be patient. Plus I'll also add this FF has Shilpa as the main protagonist. Stay tuned for the rest of the story. Here goes the second part.

Part 2:

Dr. Shashank was sitting in house in his library pondering over the days events. On one hand he was happy that his daughter Ridhima was finally staying back in India and not leaving them. He knew that she hadn't been happy the last couple of months and he knew couldn't solely blame Armaan for it. Somewhere they all were to blame even Ridhima. In all of this he felt bad for Sidhant who for no fault of his had gotten hurt, even though it pained him he knew it was right decision by Sidhant to leave India. Just then Ridhima walks in and says: Papa, yahan akele baithe kya kar rahen hain. (with that she walsk across the room and sits on the floor beside his chair.)

Shashank: soch raha tha ke main kitna khush hoon ke tum ruk gaye ho aur ab apni zindagi main age barhaney ka faisla kar rahi ho.

Ridz: Papa, I know you must be upset with all that has happened in the last couple of weeks, with Sid and I getting divorced and my planning to leave India.

Shashank: nahin beta main upset nahin lekin thora dookh hoa ke tum ne mujhe kuch bhi bataya nahin, yahan tak ke jab tumne apna ghar choda to yahan an eke bajaey tum ek ajnabee Dr. Shilpa ke ghar ja kar rehne lag gayee.

Ridz: Papa, mein ap ko kya batate mein to khud kuch nahin samujh pa rahi the. The only thing I knew was that I was totally confused, I had no idea what to do any more, what was right what was wrong and I knew in my heart that you would be disappointed with me (silently tears had started falling from her eyes) I just wanted to get away from everyone so that I could understand my own heart and Shilpa gave me that chance by offering me her place to stay.

Shashank: beta mein kabhie bhi tumse disappointed nahin hoa maybe by the circumstances but never in you. I'm glad you finally were able to make a decision and I hope we can all move ahead in life and be happy.

Ridz: Papa, aap naraaz to nahin haina. Mujh se aur Armaan se.

Shashank: nahin I just want you to be happy now. (after a pause) per ridhima what do you want?

Ridz: Armaan papa, sirf armaan.

Shashank: to teekh hai kal armaan ko mere paas bhejna kuch baat karni hai.

Ridz: thankyou papa, I love you.

Shashank: love you too beta ab jao so jao.

Ridhima walks out of the room and immediately calls Armaan on her way to her bedroom.

Ridz: Armaan, kya kar rahe ho.

Armaan: tumhara intezaar.

Ridz: ab intezaar khatam armaan papa ne kal tumhe bulaya hai baat karne ke liye. (she ended saying with a huge smile on her face).

Armaan: (with a huge grin on his face) lagta hai sasur ji is baar zyada bhao nahin kha rahe (before ridhima could scold him he said) just joking yaar, I can't wait till morning. Kaho to abhi ajaon.

Ridz: Armaaan, kaha na kal acha ab chalo so jao kal milenge

Armaan: kal kyon abhi milete haina sapne mein

Ridz: Armaan tum bhi na kitna drama karte ho, bye(with that she cut the line and then went laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. Drama and emotions of the day caught up with her and she went to sleep immediately)

On the other hand Armaan was lying on his bed and thinking about himself and Ridhima and how finally they were going to be together. Just as he was about to drift off to sleep an image of Shilpa of when she was leaving came to his mind and her words echoed in his head "sacha pyaar aur sachi dosti hamesha saath rehta hai". He immediately opened his eyes and thought where did that come from. He remembered what Sid had told him about Shilpa and Ridhima's relationship and thought once every thing is sorted between me and Ridhima then I'll tell her. She is too stressed at present this would only complicate matters more. With himself convinced he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning the Gupta household was going through their morning routine. Just as Dr. Shashank came out of his room dressed for the day the doorbell rang and Armaan walked in.

Shashank: Armaan aap yahan itni subah koi kaam tha.

Armaan: Sir, woh apne bulaya tha ridhima kal raat bata rahi thi

Shashank: bulaya tha per itni subah(seeing armaan's hopeful expression he relented by saying) ok aao study mein chalet hain.

Armaan walked in behind Dr. Shashank and sat infront of him across the table and waited.

Shashank: Armaan you know why I've called you here. I am happy that Ridhima has finally sorted her life out and I know that you love her a lot (looking at Armaan for confirmation he continued)I know you want to be with Ridhima always to love her and protect her and I have no objection (with those words armaan finally relaxed).

I know you both want to get married but I think you should first give some time to Ridhima to get over her previous marriage b'coz knowing her and in general divorce usually leaves a person shaken. Even though she loves you and wants to be there is going to be post divorce stress and heading into a relationship some apprehension.

Armaan: Sir, I understand what you are saying and I agree. I want Ridhima to be sure and confident of what she intends to do with her life. I will talk to Ridhima myself about it.

Shashank: I'm glad that we understand each other, otherwise you have my blessings.

They both stood up and shook hands.

As days continued what Dr. Shashank had said was indeed true. Even though Armaan and Ridhima loved each other and wanted to get married Ridhima was feeling some post traumatic stress. She was having mood swings one moment feeling confident and happy with her life the next feeling down thinking of her failed marriage and the last couple of months. Through out all of this Armaan remained supportive and loving towards Ridhima. He showered her with love attention and gifts. He was the one who convinced her to get into therapy to help her overcome these feelings of stress and anxiety as they all started impacting her performance at work.

Nine months later a more controlled and stable Ridhima was ready to begin her new life with Armaan. Every thing had been decided between the two families, the dates were finalized and the cards were being send.

One day while writing guest names on cards, Ridhima thought of how Sid and the last time they met. She recalled how she had asked for his address to send him the wedding card and he had shook his head. She wanted to meet him one more time the various sessions in therapy had her convinced of this one fact and face certain truth about herself. But sending him the card was this the right thing to do, to meet him after all that had happened, if at all, on her wedding with Armaan. She looked down at the card and then away lost in thought….

So what say guys will she or not????? Stay tuned to find out what happens.
