Part 7
I am Shilpa Mallik !! The words rang in Seema's mind as she stood stunned for a while. She couldnt pull of her gaze from the women who was claiming to be wife of the man she was supposed to get married.. She couldnt look away even when her parents started to protest loudly.. All she could feel was the harsh reality sinking inside her..
"You are his wife.. " The words came out in a whisper.. Shilpa gave a pity look and nodded.. "Yes i am. Infact we have been married from 3 years.. "
Seema tried to speak but couldnt form any words.. How was this possible. Armaan married from 3 years and they never had any idea.. ?
"Armaan " Seema glanced at him confused.. "What is this happening.. How can you be married.. ? "
Armaan grimaced and spoke.. "Seema i am married.. We were in a helpless situation so we couldnt tell anyone. We kept it secret.. " Then he glanced at her parents... "I didint wont to shock any of you with this sudden revelation... But i had no choice. If today i got engaged with Seema i would be ruining three life's.. "
Mihir Raichand gave a disgusted look.. "Dont even talk about ruining life's.. You have already ruined my daughter's life.. "
Seema wasnt listen.. She went near Armaan and questioned him... "Why Armaan.. Why did you hide such a important thing from us. "
Armaan glanced at Shilpa who looked away guiltily.. "As i said we were helpless.." He ran a hand through his hair.. "But we are together from 3 years. You must have noticed the days i had gone missing.. "
It was then Seema recalled the curious incidents which occurred from last 3 years. What a fool she was. He used to go and meet his wife while she kept daydreaming about him.. Misery filled inside her as She took a step back and turned around from them..
Shilpa sighed and went near Seema.. "I know Seema it was wrong of him to hide such thing from you. But trust me Armaan has no fault. I stopped him from telling the truth to anyone.. "
"You have said so correct Shilpa.. " Balraj spoke glaring at her... "Its not Armaan.. Its you who have fault in this. You have manipulated him from start.. "
Armaan tried to argue when Shilpa interrupted.. "I manipulated you son ?? " She snorted.. "I am so sorry dad that you think your son is stupid.. "
This time Armaan was stunned on her reply.. Infront of him stood a strong and confident wife which surprised him to the core.. And he loved it..
Balraj's expression tightened as he snarled at her.. "Dont call me dad. You mean nothing for us. Its Seema who we want as daughter-in-law not some poor helpless women like you.. "
"Dad !! " Armaan tightened his fist as he passed a warning look at him.. "You better think before you say such nonsense.. "
Seema was quiet, but she could clearly see how calm Shilpa stood in the situation.. She didint even flinch when she was insulted.. She expected her to break down and beg them. But the strong lady who was Armaan's wife was really making her feel uneasy..
Shilpa smiled at them and shook her head.. "Trust me dad.. " Balraj winced as he heard her say that word again... Shilpa didint bother taking it back.. "Whether you want or not you have to accept me as daughter-in-law.. I am happily married to your son.. "
Veena came forward furiously.. "Armaan can never be happy with a women like you.. "
"But he is.. " Shilpa smiled again and glanced at Armaan who stared back at her.. "He truly loves me. "
Seema flinched and glanced away as pain filled in her eyes.. Mihir and Simi Raichand lost their temper.. "Thats it.. " Mihir Raichand hissed.. "We are leaving right now !! Lets go Seema.. "
Veena passed a panic look at Balraj who went to them quickly.. "Mihir please.. Trust me Seema and Armaan are made for eachother.. "
Seema felt good hearing those words.. But she narrowed her eyes at Shilpa who chuckled.. Balraj glared at her and faced them with a pleading look.. "Trust me on this Mihir.. I will make sure i get divorce of them.. Then this stupid girl will be out of his life.. "
Shilpa shook her head in disgust as Armaan threw a glare at his father.. "Dont even think of it dad.. "
Shilpa silently went near Simi Raichand with a look of pity.. "Mrs.Raichand.. I would love to give a piece of advice to you.. Dont trust whatever dad is saying.. He seems to loose his mind when he gets angry. If you dont wish to get embarrassed i would recommend you to leave right away.. "
Simi
fumed while Seema came towards Shilpa angrily.. "No one talks to my
parents like that.. " And then she glanced at Armaan "Take care of your
wife because if she cross her limit i wont stand watching "
Shilpa
shook her head.. " How sad Seema. Before you warn me why dont you look
at urself and see in how many ways you have crossed ur limits.. "
A
Armaan
shook his head suddenly growing tired of the fights.. He stared at the
two women who kept glaring at eachother. This was the time to takeover
control.. "Seema why dont you now leave with your parents.. "
She snapped her eyes at him and muttered.. "I dont have any interest of staying here anymore.. Lets go dad.. "
Balraj and Veena stood numb in shock as they stared at their bright future work away from them... Rage filled inside Balraj as he glared at Shilpa and tried to snap at her when Armaan stopped him.. "Be in ur limits dad.. " He said quietly.. "If you cross your limits then trust me i wont hesitate before crossing mine.. "
Balraj snorted as he listened to Armaan's deadly warning.. Veena went to Shilpa and stood infront of her fuming.. "Why did you even comeback !! Everything is ruined because of you.. Because of you we have lost the partnership with the raichands.. Why do you always come to ruin our life.. ?? " She gritted her teeth.. "You should have stayed away.. "
Shilpa narrowed her eyes and spoke quietly... " Am really very sorry but, my husband was about to get engaged today.. "
"So What !! " Veena snapped at her.. "Seema is way more better than you. In status, money, fame and everything. She is the girl who deserves to be our daughter-in-law.. Armaan will have to Marry her thats it.. "
"I guess you should leave that decision to me Mom.. " Armaan snapped back at her.. Veena glanced back at Shilpa furiously.. "Now you are trying to control my son.. You want to make him hate us.. What do you want ?? Let me guess you want to control him and take out all his money.. So you can live a expensive life which she always wished to live.. "
Armaan was very much done with the nonsense.. He knew if he would even stay for a minute he would loose his patience.. He took a step forward to confront when Shilpa did something which stunned everyone.. She yawned as Veena finished her talk and smiled.. "I am very tired from travelling mom.. Can i go to my room and Sleep.. "
Shilpa shook her head as she passed a irritated look at her husband who kept laughing hard.. "It wasnt so funny Armaan.. " She tried to keep a straight face but giggled..
Armaan rolled towards her while she unpacked her suitcase... "I cant believe you said that.." He mimicked her..." I am so tired Mom can i go to my room and Sleep.. "
"Whatelse was i supposed to do. That was the best way to shut them up.. " She grinned at him.. "You should have seen their faces.. "
Armaan smiled at her and took her hand.. " I dont remember laughing like this from long time.. I am so happy your back here Shilpa.. "
"Sad your parents doesnt think so " She pointed out while lying beside him tiredly.. "It makes me sad seeing how much they hate me.. "
Armaan frowned but lay silent for a while.. He moved closer to her caressing her cheeks "I still can take you away from them.. Think about it Shilpa.. We can move to our own place and live in peace... "
"Sounds tempting.. " Then she frowned.. "But i think if you leave them like this they will always have hatred towards our relationship. Its better to stay here and change that hatred to love.. "
He sighed and stared deep in her eyes.. "You already know i do whatever you want.But if they cross their limits... "
She interrupted him smoothly.. "They cant cross their limits.. I wont let them.. "
He smiled again and kissed her forehead.. Shilpa noticed as he moved away and stared at the ceiling lost in his thoughts... She rolled on top of him and stared down on his face.. "Armaan.. "
"Hmm "
"You are upset of what Seema did right... "
He protested at first and then sighed miserably.. "I trusted her Shilpa.. I thought she understands me.. "
"And now she have wounded you by breaking your trust.. " Shilpa pointed out quietly...
"Maybe " He muttered softly..
Shilpa traced her finger on his chest and heard him let out a blissful sign.. She smiled.. "I can help you heal.. "
He raised his eyebrow as she spoke again.. "I know how it hurts when someone close betrays you. But i wont do it ever.. "
"No doubt on it.. " He smiled as the pain eased from his heart.. "Anyways now that your back in my house i guess we dont have to sneak around anymore.. "
She giggled at him and hid her face suddenly feeling shy.. He ran a hand through her hair and questioned.. "Why are you blushing suddenly.. ? "
She drew circles on his chest and bit her lip nervously.. Its been long time since she had done the talk to him.. And now she didint knew why but she felt this was the perfect time to bring it up again..
"Armaan.. " She asked softly.. "How are having a baby ? "
She bit her lip further waiting for a reaction from him.. When he didint respond at all she raised her head and frowned at him.. Armaan grinned as she finally looked at him.. "I am so sorry. No matter how much you try you cant get me pregnant.."
Shilpa frowned at first , but as she realized what he had said she hit his arm.."Always ruining the perfect moment.. "
He gave a fake injured look and protested... "What can i do.. Its nature darling Men cant be pregnant.. "
Shilpa hit on his chest and rolled away from him.. Armaan winced rubbing his chest.. "Oh come on Cinderella you knew i was joking.. "
Shilpa ignored him and lay facing the other side.. He got worried on her silence.. "Come on Baby , you know i was joking.. "
"I dont think i can have kids.. " She whispered painfully.. Armaan flinched at her words which he had heard before too.. No matter how much he tried she would always bring out that topic.. " But we always try right.. "
A tear rolled from her eyes which she brushed away angrily.. "Thats the point.. We have been trying from 2 years.. Even a doctor cant point out whats wrong with me.."
"Maybe it will take time.. " He suggested her softly.. "And you only went to one doctor. Maybe we could arrange visting the best one here.. "
Shilpa sniffed and nodded as he cupped her face tenderly... "I think instead of worrying we should wait and let it happen.. Am sure you will be pregnant that also with tons of babies.. "
A smile broke on her lips.. He kissed her lightly trying to distract her.. But she sobered again.. "Maybe for real i cant have kids. If your parents get to know they will surely want you to marry someone like Seema.. " Her voice trailed off.. "She can surely be pregnant.. "
Armaan frowned at her.. "You and my parents.. Behave as if i am a small child who will follow all orders.. I have no interest of marrying again.. " He smirked at her.. "As always cry first and then become dramatic.. "
She smiled and giggled softly as he kissed her again.. He brushed his lips on her and whispered.. "Maybe we should try more again.. Maybe like go on a naughty honeymoon.. "
She pinched his arm as he winced again.. "Oh Shut up Armaan " She blushed badly..
"Trust me.. It may work.. " He gave her a devilish smile.. "Let me give you a demo.. "
And like that they spent whole night talking , caressing and loving eachother.. In the middle of night Armaan stared down at her and whispered.. "So have you thought what to do of my parents.. "
She raised her eyebrow grinning at him.. "You mean like kill them ? So i can take over all the property.. "
She laughed as he rolled his eyes.. "I mean as you quoted.. 'Changing their hatred to love' .. "
She just gave him a coy smile.. "Trust me i am here with a plan only.. Oneday you will see them say they love me more than you.. "
"You sound sure of it.. "
"I am confident about it.. "
Precap :
Veena : You seem to be so much in love with him..
Shilpa : Oh mom that surely i am..
Veena : Oh Really.. Then how come your still not able to give him a child..
Shipa did flinch.. But she did manage to hide it from her mother-in-law.. Instead she smiled and glanced down at her body.. "If i get pregnant what will happen to my figure.. "
------------------------------------------------
Armaan : We are here as professionals Seema.. If you have to do any talks regarding work i am all ears. But dont expect friendship from me again..
Seema :Armaan please.. I am really sorry for my behavior.. Please forgive me once.. Please trust me on this..
"Trust... ? " He shook his head with a mocking laugh.. "Thats the last thing i expect from you now Seema..
