Nothing Can Stop Me, From Loving You
An AR TS
PART 1
Gun shot was firing here and there, some where screaming while other just stood watching being scared of not knowing what was doing to happen... Man was pleading not to shoot while girls were crying as three people were shot down...
Still the police were waiting to shoot as a girl and a boy hide behind the pillar as they didn't understand what suddenly happen because they had come out when they got a call informing that they would get release without being harm...
Everything change, the moment they step out together as three of them from five were shot dead on the spot and still the police were waiting the other two to come out from their hiding so they would shoot them too without caring that they are killing innocent humans...
Guy ask the girl not to move out but the girl saw an officer pointing a gun to the guy, making her heartbeat race as she can't never think of letting him get hurt... She was in too much love to let him get hurt so without thinking what might the result be with her step, she move forward getting his attention...
'ARMAAN...' The girl call out to the guy who was unaware that he was on the gun point...
********************************
Girl jerk up in sitting position as she breath deeply due to the dream she had which make her sweat badly as if she had got out from the situation just now... Her big almond green orbs search the dark room as it was giving a dim light at this hour of the night as it was still dark outside...
Not understanding what to do, she just sit as she try to control her fast heartbeat and breath which was making her feel suffocated... After sometimes, she closed her eyes as her heartbeat drop to normal rate as she felt her breath getting back to normal too...
Girl sit for sometimes but soon she let her body laid back as she lack of strength due to the dream she just had which make her mentally disturb and weak... She try to go back to sleep but the dream keeps playing in her mind not to let her go back to dreamless sleep for the rest of the night...
ANOTHER COUNTRY
Guy was standing not understanding what to do, he look around to make sure that love of his life was safe as he ask through action not to move out... When he got sure that she wouldn't dare to disobey, he turn his attention to the people few feet's away from them...
He was wondering, what has gone wrong when everything was settle before they were called out from the ward they were capture by two boys as they were there to rescue a girl who were mean to be love of one boy... Before he could think anything else, he heard his love calling his name...
Another firing was echo around the place as everything goes silent, the guy look around to see his love coming towards him but stop on the spot as if someone make her feet trapped in to the ground... Guy stood looking towards the girl as she stare back at him...
He saw her hand was on her back but slowly she move it in front of her as he also stood facing her, he couldn't tear apart his eyes away from her as he saw something red on her hand as her fingers shake due to which reason, he don't know...
Before the guy could understand what happen, he saw the girl slide down on the ground as her eyes got closed as tears fall out on her cheeks... Her lips move but no sound came out from it as she try her best to whisper his name...
'RIDDHIMA...' The guy call out but next second he was shot on his stomach before he could move to the girl...
********************************
Guy jerk open his eyes as sweat beans were on his forehead making him breath deeply due to the dream he just had... It was the worst nightmare of his life as it change his life as he has lost the reason to live in this cruel world...
He never thought, he would have to live a life where he would once again would be alone... After years of being alone, just few years before he got the reason to live and be a better person for the one he loves and who loves him back...
Guy just stay like that as he didn't dare to move, not because of the pain he had to go but there was no life left him to do anything in his life anymore... He kept staring at the ceiling as slowly his heartbeat started to drop in its normal rate along with his breath...
Being mentally drain, he closed his eyes but the flash back came in front of his eyes making him again open his eyes due to the sudden pain he felt in his heart as those moment once again played in front of his eyes...
'Kyun chali gayi tum Riddhima, kyun...' He whisper softly very well knowing there isn't anyone to hear his words...
A tear fall from his eyes as he felt a sharp pain in his heart thinking why it happen with him... Soon that nightmare was replace by the moment he had shared with the girl but rather giving happy feelings, it breaks his heart to million piece's as he realized he can never be lucky in his life how much he try...
5 MONTHS LATER
Guy was sitting in a cafe' as he kept staring the steam coffee cup in between his palm... He just kept staring at the cup while his brain was thinking about someone who was closed to his heart... He still were unable to believe the fact that she is no longer in his life as somewhere in his heart, it gave him a signal that she still think about him where ever she is at the moment...
It has been five months and he didn't get a clue where she might have gone, the letter she left to him which mention the reason why she was leaving him and going away didn't make him believe a single word she mention because he can clearly see the water marks on it which is a prove that she has write it being force to do it for his sake...
Being deeply in love with each other, he knows she can't leave him like that unless she has some problem which she don't want him to be drag in it unnecessary... Which hurt him most was when she ask him to forget her and move on in his life with someone else, which he can never do until his heart stop beating for her...
How much he has try to know the real reason behind her vanishing like that, that too before he could gain conscious, he understood that there were something which she was hiding from him and they both know very well that she can't lie to him being in front of him so she took the chance to run away before he could confront her...
He thought that his friends, her parents would help him to find her but to his disappointment with her even her family and her sister has left the country without saying a word... Just a week ago, his father has come but till he didn't get to know about her whereabouts because her father was determine not to spill anything related to her...
'Armaan...' Guy trace was broke when he felt someone putting hand on his shoulder...
Armaan look towards the person, who was giving a sad smile to him knowing what he must be thinking... In these past months, no one has seen Armaan smiling like before... Not even make a proper conversation with anyone as he was going through a hard phase, he has lost his love and it's very hard for him to believe...
'Atul, duty khatam hogaye...' Armaan asked looking back at his coffee cup...
'Haan, tu abhi tak yehi ho... Ghar nehi jaana...???' Atul asked sitting next to him...
'Bas kuch kaam hai, woh khatam karke jaata hun...' Armaan said not moving his eyes off from the coffee cup...
'Kab tak aise rahenge Armaan...' Atul ask seeing Armaan not looking towards him while talking...
'Jab tak mujhe woh mil nehi jaate, mere har sawal ka jawab nehi mil jaate tab tak main pehle jaise nehi ban sakte...' Armaan said very well knowing about what Atul was talking...
'Dr. Shashank se pucha tumne...???' Atul asked...
'Pucha, lekin woh mujhe batana zaruri nehi samajhte... Jo bhi huva, Sir koh lagta hai mere wajahse huva... Sahi bhi hai kyunki main us din zidd nehi karte toh woh mujhse milne hospital aati nehi...' Armaan said...
'Sirf tumhare zidd ke kaaran nehi aayi woh tujhse milne, woh khud tumhe bata chahti ti woh tujhse kitna pyar karta hai... Tum uske liye kitni important ho, uske paas moka ti woh, woh sabse baahar nikle aasaani se lekin woh tumhe akele nehi chodna chahti ti...' Atul said...
'Phir kyun aaj woh mere paas nehi hai Atul, kyun woh ek letter likh ke mujhe mile bina chali gayi... Main jaanti hun tum, Nikki aur Muski jaanti hai sach kiya hai... Lekin tum log bhi mujhe bata nehi rahi, kyun...???'Armaan asked...
'Kyunki hum majbur hai Armaan, hum chaahkar bhi tumhe kuch nehi bata sakti...' Girl said coming with another girl...
'Apne best friend koh aise marte dekh sakte ho, lekin jo sach hai woh nehi bata sakte... Kaise dosti hai yeh Nikki, apne dost koh din mein 100 maut marte dekh ke sach nehi bol sakte...' Armaan said laughing taunting their friendship...
'Ek best friend ke liye main dusri best friend ne jo kasam diya woh tohd nehi sakte Armaan... Aur shayad tum uske jhaga hote toh bhi yehi karte Armaan, hum yeh nehi jaante usne us letter mein kiya likha hai lekin itna keh sakti hun, woh tumse bohot pyar karta hai issiliye tumhare zindagi barbaad hone se pehle woh chali gayi tumse dur...' Nikki said...
'Nikki sach keh rahi hai Armaan, woh tumse bohot pyaar karta hai... Main uske jhaga hote toh aisa hi karti, kyunki yehi best hoga tum dono ke liye...' Other girl said as she sit in front of Armaan while Nikki sit on his left side as Atul was sitting on his right side...
'Maine yeh kabhi nehi kaha woh mujhse pyar nehi karte, lekin jo reason usne diya mujhe... Mera dil maanne koh tayyar nehi hai, issiliye main usse milkar apne har sawal ka jawab chahta hun...' Armaan said...
'Kash hum tera help kar sake, lekin humein bhi nehi pata woh kaha hai...' Atul said...
'It's ok Atul, main khud dhundlungi usse...' Armaan said...
'Kaise...???' Muskaan ask...
'Pata nehi, lekin yeh baat toh pakki hai... Woh jaha pe bhi hai, main usse dhund nikalungi...' Armaan said...
'Lekin sirf Shashank Sir koh hi pata hai woh kaha hai...' Nikki said...
'Aur woh tumhare shakal tak dekhna nehi chahte ab...' Muskaan said...
'Phir kaise tum...' Atul was cut by Armaan...
'Maine kaha na, mera pyar saccha hai toh bhagwaan mera help zarur karega... Usko us bhagwaan pe bohot barosa haina, toh ab bhagwaan sach mein hai toh woh hum dono koh zarur milwaenge...' Armaan said looking up at the ceiling and back to his friends...
Before anyone could say anything more, there was a announcement for Armaan... So leaving the coffee which he didn't take a single sip, Armaan left without letting anyone say another word about the matter... Armaan reach to the nurse station to see Sister Lovely behind the counter, holding the phone for him...
'Yes, Sister Lovely...' Armaan asked...
'Woh Dr. Armaan, Ji aapke liye phone hai...' Sister Lovely said...
'Koan hai...' Armaan asked thinking who might call him at this time...
'Ji maine pucha lekin usne bataya nehi Ji, bas kaha aapko bhulao...' Sister Lovely said handing the phone...
Armaan nodded his head wondering who might be calling him at hospital, he couldn't think of anyone as from last few months he hardly talk anyone because he was so much lost thinking about the person he loves the most...
'Hello...' Armaan answer the call...
'Armaan...' It was a guy from other end...
'Rahul...???' Armaan asked not believing his ears...
'Sahi pehchana, kaisa hai tu...' Rahul asked...
'Abhi tujhe waqt mila mujhe call karne koh...' Armaan asked...
'Socha bohot pehle call karun, lekin pehle kuch clear karna ta issiliye tohda waqt laga...' Rahul said...
'Toh ab kyun call kiya, yeh puchne main din mein kitni maut mar raha hun apne pyar ke bina...' Armaan asked as his throat got block being remind that everyone think he is the one to be blame for whatever happen...
'Armaan, main jaanta hun tumhe kiya beet raha hoga... Issiliye tumhare help karne ke liye maine tumhe call kiya... Main samajhta hun, apne pyar se dur hokar kitna takleef hota hai...' Rahul said...
'Kaisa help...' Armaan asked...
'I know tum kabhi koshish karna nehi chodnege uske pata lagane ki, aur main aaj uske pata bata ne ke liye tumhe call kiya... Shayad tum anjaan ho asli reason kiya hai issiliyeh tum jo pata main de raha hun waha pocho... Tumhare saare sawalon ka jawab mil jaenge...' Rahul said...
'Tumhe pakka yakeen hai mujhe woh waha milenge...???' Armaan asked...
'Haan Armaan, zarur milenge...' Rahul said...
'Thank you Rahul, yaha koi mera help karne koh tayyar nehi hai... Mujhe nehi pata ta bhagwaan tumhare through mujhe help karega...' Armaan said...
'Ab zyada senti hone ki zarurat nehi hai, tum hero ho na... Ab apna heropanti mode active karo, aur jo address de raha hun waha apne pyar ke paas ja...' Rahul said...
'Thanks Rahul, mujhe address mere number pe MSG kardo...' Armaan said...
'Ok, all the best Armaan...' Rahul said...
Cutting the call, Armaan look up as he send a silent thanks to the god... For the first time in past few months, a smile form in his lips which reach to his eyes... Tears of happiness form in his eyes as he realized, soon he would be meeting the love of his life who is his heartbeat...
A WEEK LATER
Girl was sitting in front of the television as she carelessly change the channels, she was stretching her legs while she hold a cushion on her lap as she kept looking towards the kitchen area as if she was waiting for someone... She look at the time and it was already 8 am, no single person were there to be seen in the house...
'Ma...' She called as she couldn't find any programmed interested...
'Aayi...' Lady call from kitchen as she came holding a steam cup...
'Sorry ma...' Girl said as her mother gave the cup to her...
'Kyun baar baar sorry bolte ho...' Lady said...
'Kyunki meri wajahse aapko bohot pareshani ho rahi hai...' Girl said looking at the cup of hot chocolate...
'Koi baat nehi bacche, ma ke liye kabhi apne bacchon ke liye kuch bhi karna pareshani nehi hote...' Lady said...
'Jab bacche bade hokar ma baap pe bhoj banjate toh pareshan hogi na ma...' Girl said...
'Riddhima, jo haalat hai woh hum badhal nehi sakte...' Lady said...
'Aur yeh haalat meri wajahse hum sabko face karna padd raha hai...' Riddhima said as tears form in her eyes...
Lady hugs the girl as she silently pour the tears as she wasn't liking her life at the moment but she was helpless... Not being able to do anything without another person help, she was helpless that today she was again making her parents do every single thing for her...
'Riddhi, main khush hun mujhe yeh moka mil rahi hai tumhare khayal rakhne ke liye... Tum mere bacche hokar bhi, is ma koh yeh moka nehi mila jo milni chahiyeh ti kyunki tab main majbur ti tumhe khudse dur rakhun... Lekin ab jab mujhe moka mila hai, tumhari khayal rakhne ke liye, tumhare liye choti choti cheez karun jo ek ma apne bacche ke liye uske janam se karte hai usse badi hone tak, main kabhi is baat ke liye shikayat nehi karungi bhagwaan se humein is situation mein daalne ke liye...' Lady said...
'Lekin ma, main jaanti hun tab aur ab mein khayal rakhna bohot fark hoga...' Riddhima said...
'Riddhi, aaj main sabke saamne tumhe apni beti ke tarah khayal rakh sakti hun... Kyunki main aaj Padma Shashank Gupta hun, aur log tumhe hamesha Riddhima Shashank Gupta ke beti ki naam se jaante hai...'Padma said...
Riddhima smile looking at Padma who drop a kiss on her forehead, Padma clear Riddhima eyes before the tears fall from it as she shake asking her never let those precious tears fall out from her beautiful eyes which match to her...
'Chalo ab jaldi se yeh hot chocolate khatam karo, tab tak main breakfast banati hun... Aur tumhari woh behen kaha hai, abhi tak nehi uti... Yeh ladki bhi na, kabhi waqt pe nehi ut te...' Padma said checking the time as in half an hour, her other daughter had to leave for work...
'Mom, ab main senior doctor hun... I can't let my interns get a bad impression on me...' Girl said coming down from the stairs as she move to the girl who was sitting on the sofa...
'Anjali Shashank Gupta, hum dono se accha koi tumhe nehi jaante tumhe utana kitna mushkil hota hai...'Padma said...
'Common mom, ab toh time par ut ti hun... Kyun meri pyaari Ridzy...' Anjali said hugging Riddhima...
'Of course Di...' Riddhima said...
'Tum dono se behes karne ka koi matlab nehi hai, chalo Anjali apni coffee lo... Bas 15 minute mein breakfast ready hojaenge, pura khatam karke kaam pe jaana...' Padma said...
'Ok mom...' Anjali said as she left to get her coffee with Padma...
When Anjali came back, she saw Riddhima sitting lost somewhere as she kept slowly moving her palm outside the steam cup... Anjali very well knows what she must be thinking but she was helpless that she can't do anything to make her sister happy because she has closed all the door to let the happiness in her life...
'Itna pyar karte hai toh ek baar bata doh usko...' Anjali said sipping her coffee, breaking Riddhima trace...
'Kiya...???' Riddhima asked not realizing Anjali has come back with her coffee...
'Ridzy, tum acche se jaante ho main kiski baat kar raha hun...' Anjali said...
'Di, aap jaante ho main aisa kabhi karne ka nehi sochungi... Meri wajahse kissi koh takleef mile, woh main nehi kar sakte...' Riddhima said...
'Kiya tum jee paa rahe ho usse takleef dekhar Ridzy...???' Anjali asked...
'Jo maine kiya, shayad mere jhaga woh hote toh bhi yehi karta Di... Sirf pyar hone se zindagi nehi guzrenge, uske liye humein khud koh bhi layat rakhna hoga ki hum uske har khuwaish koh pura kar sakte...' Riddhima said...
'Ridzy, tum jaante ho treatement acche se huva toh tum tik hojaenge...' Anjali said...
'Aur aap bhi yeh jaante ho, bohot kam percent hai tik hone ke liye... Shayad kabhi main ho bhi nehi sakte toh meri jaise ladki ke saath koan apna zindagi guzarna chaahenge...' Riddhima said...
'Ridzy, tu kabse itni negative hone lagi...' Anjali asked...
'Jo sach hai, woh hum badhal nehi sakte... Bohot kam chance hai Di, aur main risk ke liye kissi aur ki zindagi barbaad nehi kar sakti...' Riddhima said...
'Tum acche se jaante ho Ridzy, woh teri saath kabhi nehi chodenge...' Anjali said...
'Jaanti hun Di, issiliye mujhe uske zindagi ke jaane ka faisla akele lena pada...' Riddhima said...
'Tum yeh sahi nehi kar rahe ho Ridzy, na uske saath... Na khud ke saath...' Anjali said...
'Kiya sahi hai galat, main khud nehi jaanti Di... Lekin jo meri dil ne mujhe kaha, woh main kar rahi hun... Aur aap jaante hona, us incident ke baad Papa usse kitna nafrat karta hai...' Riddhima said...
'Dad toh pehle din se usse pasand nehi karte, lekin tum dono ne milke uske dil jeeta apne pyar saabit karke... Tum uske saath ho toh Dad ke nafrat khatam karna mushkil nehi hoga Ridzy...' Anjali said...
'Please Di, main aur nehi ladd sakte Papa se...' Riddhima said...
'Dad se ladne ki baat nehi kar rahi hun main Ridzy, apne pyar koh aise jaane mat de... Kyunki bohot kam log koh saccha pyar naseeb hota hai... Aur hum dono yeh jaante hai, kuch bhi ho... Kaise bhi situation ho, woh kabhi teri haath nehi chodenge... Aahiri saans thak woh tumhare liye ladenge, tumse ladenge tumhe khud ke paas rakhne ke liye...' Anjali said...
'Yehi toh main nehi chahti Di, woh mere liye lade... Apne baare mein kabhi nehi sochta woh, hamesha mere baare mein sochte hai... Kyun Di, koi itna accha kaise ho sakta hai...???' Riddhima asked...
'Sirf woh itna accha ho sakta hai kyunki woh meri pyari Ridzy se beyhadh pyar karta hai...' Anjali said...
'I know Di, but I can't let him love me when he don't deserve someone like me... Not when I m not the Riddhima who he fall in love, I m not that Riddhima any more Di...' Riddhima said as tears started to fall from her eyes...
'Ridzy...' Anjali call her name as she move towards her...
As soon as Anjali hugs her, Riddhima broke down in her arms... Even Anjali was having tears in her eyes seeing how much broken her sister was being away from the love of her life... If anyone she loves in the world after her parents and sister, than that person is the one has stole her heart... Whom she dream of spending rest of her life but their journey wasn't ever easy from the beginning as they had to face so much problem...
At the moment, Anjali wish that she could break the promise Riddhima has given because she can't see her sister like this... Anjali knows, whatever she was doing it was because her love to the person... Also the person has face so much in his life, she don't want to be a burden to him like she is to her family now...
How much Riddhima try to smile in front of her mother and sister, they know how much pain was hidden in her heart deep down because it was badly shattered in to several pieces for hurting her love... How much pain she was giving to the person, her heart was bleeding more...
'Chalo tum dono jaldi breakfast karo, mujhe market jaana hai aur Anjali tumhe hospital nehi jaana kiya...'Padma ask coming holding the tray...
'Jaana hai na mom, jaldi se breakfast doh... I m starving...' Anjali said as she cleared her eyes...
Riddhima also quickly clear her face and smile but they know it wasn't her real one... Padma had heard the conversation between the sister's, she was so happy that Anjali treat Riddhima like her own sibling... Before it was different but now, they are like true sister's...
So without asking anything, they started to have breakfast while Padma asking Anjali about her work... Also Padma inform them that their father, Shashank wouldn't be coming for another week so she needs to filled the fridge because the weather wasn't going to be too good in coming week...
After breakfast, Padma left with Anjali while Riddhima stay in home with the maid who was there to help Padma... She was doing the dishes in the kitchen while Riddhima just sit in the place where she had been sitting from morning... Having nothing else to do, Riddhima started to read a novel as nothing interest were showing in the television...
AN HOUR LATER
Riddhima was too lost in the novel, she didn't realized it has past an hour her sitting like that... She was comfortably half laying on the sofa, too lost to realized that Padma hasn't come yet as she usually didn't take an hour to shop for foods...
Riddhima got startled when suddenly the door bell started to ring, she look towards the door thinking who might have come because neither Padma or Anjali would ring the bell if maid it there or not... Also the maid was already in the house than who might have come because no one knows their whereabouts...
'Shaanta bhen...' Riddhima call when the maid didn't come...
'Ji Didi...' Shaanta bhen came wiping her hand in a cloth...
'Dekho koan hai...' Riddhima said making herself comfortable back in the sofa...
'Ji Didi...' Shaanta bhen said moving to check who was ringing bell...
Shanta bhen open the door to see a guy standing with his back towards the door, she look at him from head to toe and back to head as she put her hands on hips thinking it was some salesman who had come to sell something because it usually happen at this time of the day...
'Bhai, humein kuch nehi lena aapse...' Shanta bhen said getting his attention...
'What...???' Guy ask turning facing her...
'What what... Angraisi ki aulad... Maine kaha humein kuch nehi lena... Woh kiya kehte hai angraisi mein, we not want thing...' Shaanta bhen said with her not good English language...
'Aap galat samajh rahe ho, main yaha kuch bhejne nehi aaya...' Guy said taking off his shades...
'Toh kiya karne aaye ho...' Shaanta bhen asked...
'Woh mujhe Riddhima se milna hai, woh yehi rehti haina...???' Guy asked making sure if he has come to the right house...
'Riddhima Didi se, aap koan...???' Shaanta bhen asked as she was surprise to see a guy at the door step...
'Shaanta bhen, koan hai...' Riddhima call from inside as Shaanta bhen was talking to someone...
'Woh Didi, koi aadmi aaya hai aapse milne...' Shaanta bhen said turning around to look at Riddhima who was sitting in the hall...
'Toh waha kyun rokha, andar leaao...' Riddhima call back...
Shaanta bhen move aside to let the guy inside, with slow step the guy move inside as he look around the house... It was small and simple but homely place, just like the way Riddhima always wish... He stop as he saw Riddhima sitting on the sofa as she was holding a novel...
While Riddhima was wondering to whom Shaanta bhen was talking, she called her to let the person in who has come to meet her... Wondering who it might be, Riddhima look at the page which she was reading to mark it before closing it when suddenly she felt a familiar feeling...
Riddhima didn't know how to react as her heart started to race feeling him close to her... She wondered how that could be possible when no one knows where she is and she knows that her father wouldn't ever let him know about their whereabouts...
Feeling his present but her mind wasn't ready to believe it, Riddhima closed her eyes trying to control her fast heartbeat... She slowly let the novel down on her lap as she was asking her heart not to let this feeling turn out to be true because she wasn't ready to face him and answer his questions...
'Basket...' That was it...
Riddhima felt her breath got stuck somewhere in her throat while her heart stop beating for a second hearing that voice, that name being called after long five months... No one, means no one would dare to address her by that name other than one person who is very closed to her heart or should it she say the person who her heart belong to...
Riddhima just sit like that, not able to believe her ears... She wanted to open her eyes and look at the person, to make sure that she was truly having the person in the same place she was but when the reality drown in her mind, her eyes jerk open thinking it can't be true because she can't let him see her...
While on the other side, the guy kept looking at Riddhima who was sitting like a statue... He was wondering why Riddhima didn't answer the door when she was in the house... Seeing her sitting enjoying a novel, he thought because she didn't want to leave that novel as she love to read such stories...
His eyes move on her face which was shown from side, she has closed her eyes as if feeling his present which he knows she would the moment he step in the house... He knows the feeling because as he was standing outside the house, he felt the same knowing he was just few feet's away from her...
Seeing her after five whole months which wasn't less than five centuries to him, his eyes started to get moist seeing the love of his life... His eyes move at her figure, which seems like she has lost a couple of pounds because she was looking too slim than the last time he has seen her...
'Basket...' Her name left from his mouth without any control...
Guy kept looking at her as he could clearly see her body reacting feeling his present, suddenly her eyes jerk open as she shake a little as if she was fighting for something... He wait for her to look towards him because he wasn't sure if she would like him to be closed to her or not...
'Armaan...' His name came out from her lips as she slowly look towards him...
Armaan who has tears in his eyes felt that it falls on his cheeks, seeing her looking towards him that too straight in to his eyes which capture the hazel green orbs as he saw fear in those gorgeous one... Armaan couldn't understand why she was having fear to see him in front of her, that too after months...
'Basket...' Armaan take a step but stop hearing her voice...
'Wahin rukh jao Armaan...' Riddhima said being scared that he might find the real reason why she has left him...
Armaan was shocked to hear her angry voice as he wasn't able to believe that she also blames him for whatever happen with them five months ago... If she was to blame him than why didn't she left when she got the chance to be in safe zone with her family...
'Kyun aaye ho yaha...???' Riddhima asked in a harsh tone...
'Jawab maangne...' Armaan said not believing his ears how rudely Riddhima was talking with him...
'Koansa jawab, maine sab saaf saaf woh letter mein kehdiya mujhe kyun nehi chahiyeh tumhara saath...'Riddhima said...
'Main yeh paper pe believe nehi kar sakte Basket, mujhe tumhare zubaan se sunna hai sach... Kyun tumne itna bada jhut bola mujhse, kyun apne Armaan koh khudse dur kiya...' Armaan asked...
'Jo bhi maine letter mein likha, wohi sach hai Armaan...' Riddhima said looking away from him...
Riddhima knows she was getting weak because she can't lie to him, Armaan can clearly see that she was hiding something from him because it can't be true... Her eyes were saying something else while her mouth was speaking the opposite...
'Toh aankhein kyun chura rahe ho mujhse Basket, mere taraf dekho... Mere aankhon mein dekh ke kaho yeh jo tumne is paper mein likha hai woh sab sach hai... Tum mujhe mujhrim maante ho jo bhi hum dono ke saath huva hospital mein 5 months pehle... Jab bhi tumhe chot lagti hai, sab mere wajahse hote ho... Jab bhi tum mushkil mein hote ho, sirf aur sirf mere wajahse hote ho... Bolo Basket, mere aankhon mein aankhen daalke kaho yeh sab tumne apne dil se maante ho ki main tumhari layak nehi hun... Na kabhi ta, na kabhi ho sakta hai, na kabhi hoga...' Armaan said forwarding the letter in front of her eyes which she has left for him...
Riddhima look at the letter as she wasn't expecting Armaan to carry it with him where ever he goes... She never doubt on his love for her, but she wasn't also hoping that Armaan would find her and come to ask for answers because it wasn't like him to believe a piece of paper...
'Kiya huva, yakeen nehi ho raha yeh letter abhi bhi mere paas hai... Woh kiya haina Basket, is mein mujhe jo lafzein tumne likha haina, usse kuch zyada nazar aaya jo tumne nehi likha... Toh maine socha, khud tumse aamne saamne aakhe puchun jo main padd paa raha hun woh sach hai ya nehi...' Armaan said...
'Kiya sach hai...???' Riddhima asked with a shaken voice...
'Yehi ki tumne yeh letter toh mujhe khud koh dur karne ke liye likha lekin jo dard tumhare dil mein tab ho raha ta, woh aansu banke ismein ghiri ti jiski wajahse mark rehgaya...' Armaan said...
Riddhima was shocked to hear this, she never thought Armaan would find out it because she has used so much harsh words that she never thought, his mind would let him think anything else other than those words but she was so wrong to mistook that she can hide anything from her Armaan, who can understand her unspoken words by just looking at her eyes...
Seeing Riddhima eyes grow wide as he has caught her secret red hand, Armaan sit on his knee near the sofa... Feeling Armaan movement, Riddhima look towards him to see him on her level as she didn't dare to move... Riddhima wanted to stop him but her voice didn't act according to her will...
'Kyun Basket, kyun khud ke saath saath mujhe bhi takleef de rahe ho... Kiya humhara pyar saccha nehi ta, kiya ek incident ke wajahse tumhari pyar khatam hogayi... Main jaanta hun kuch bohot badi baat hai jiski wajahse tum mujhse dur hogayi, lekin kiya baat hai Basket... Ek baar kehkar dekho, main sab kuch tik kardunga...' Armaan said...
Seeing Armaan pleading for her love, tears started to fall from her eyes too... She was feeling helpless because she can't let him know the reason because she knows he would never leave her side and she don't want it... She don't want to be a burden in his life when he has his whole life ahead to spend with someone, who can fulfilled his wish and desire...
Riddhima knows Armaan wouldn't leave unless he get his answers and she wasn't going to let him know about the truth because she knows he would never think of leaving her after that... Also she knows, her tears would make him get hope so cleaning it from her face, she thought to hurt him more so he would leave her forever...
'Yehi sach hai Armaan, tumhare wajahse hamesha main problem se fas jaata hun... Jab se hum mile, tabse problem meri life ka hissa bangaye hai... Kitni baar maine maut ka saamna kiya, sirf aur sirf tumhare kaaran... Pehle main kitni khush ti, lekin jab se tum aaye ho, tumse pyar huva... Har baat ke liye mujhe imthihaan dena padd raha hai... Kabhi tumhare liye, kabhi humhare pyar ke liye...
Us din bhi, tumhare wajahse mein hospital gayi... Tumhe yeh yakeen dilane main tumse pyar karta hun... Mere liye tum kitni important ho lekin maine socha nehi, phirse ek baar mujhe maut ke muh pe laakar khada kardenge tum...
Papa sahi kehte hai, Armaan sabke liye problem create karte hai... Pehle apne parents ke liye, mujhe mili toh mere liye aur mere parents ke liye bhi... Apne doston ke liye bhi tum sirf problems create kar sakte ho, aur kuch nehi...
Tumhare wajahse hospital mein hum sabko problems face karna pada... Kyunki tumhe Abhimaniyu se problem ta jiski wajahse woh apna gussa hum sab pe nikal diya... Humhare life mushkil mein daal diya tumne, jo tum sochta hai woh sahi hai... Baaki sab jo sochta, karta hai, bolta hai, sab jhut...
Apne zidd manwane ke liye, sabko problems mein daalte ho tum jis ki wajahse hum sabko suffer karna padta hai hamesha... Yeh bhi nehi sochte, tumhare saath hum bhi hai... Kyun sochenge, tumhe toh sirf tumse matlab hai... Yehi sach haina Armaan...' Riddhima said in a harsh word looking straight in his eyes...
Armaan couldn't believe his ears, today he got to hear those words from her mouth... Still his heart wasn't believing she was saying it straight from her heart, there was something which was holding her to let the truth out... Making her speak those words which didn't give a single feeling that she mean it...
Riddhima was forcefully lying, Armaan could feel from her voice that she was herself forcing to speak those harsh words for him because she can't never put the blame to make him hate her to such intention that he leave her letting her win the game she was purposely playing to kick him out from her life...
Riddhima who was trying her best not to let her pain visible to him, keep looking in his eyes to make him believe that she mean it... She knows it would be hard to make him believe but seeing his lost expression, she somehow felt that she was successful to make him believe a little because still there was a emotion in his eyes that his heart doesn't want to believe it...
When Riddhima didn't move her eyes, Armaan slowly stood up trying to let his mind digest the words in his system... Armaan knows, it can't be true and Riddhima wasn't an easy girl to make her speak the truth because it wasn't the first time that she was holding her true emotions in her heart...
Armaan knows there is only one way left now, he knows after that she would surely speak the truth out... If not, than it means every word she just said it pure truth but how can Armaan let his heart believe it when it wasn't ready to obey his emotions...
So not breaking the eye lock, Armaan move a few steps behind and stood near the mirror which was hang on the wall near the main door... Riddhima thought that Armaan was going to leave but when he stop, she was surprise why Armaan hasn't make another move...
Next second, the house echo as the mirror broke in to several pieces... Riddhima who wasn't expecting Armaan to hurt himself like that, was shocked with his sudden action... Riddhima couldn't react for a moment but when her eyes move on his bleeding fist, she didn't know how her voice came out...
'Armaan...' Riddhima cried seeing his bleeding hand...
Shaanta bhen who has gone to the kitchen to do her works came out running hearing the noise... Even she was shocked to see this unknown guy hurt himself by hitting the mirror which has broke in to several pieces... She didn't know what to do as she kept looking between Armaan and Riddhima...
'Shaanta bhen, first aid box laao jaldi...' Riddhima shouted to see Shaanta bhen standing near dinning area...
'Ji Didi...' Shaanta bhen left to get the first aid box...
'Armaan, yeh tumne kyun kiya...' Riddhima asked as she still sit but try to move...
'Saza...' Armaan said...
'Armaan, tumhare haat se bohot khoon behraha hai... Please dressing karwalo...' Riddhima said...
'Khoon mere haat se nikal raha hai, takleef tumhe kyun ho rahe ho Basket... Tum toh mujhe mujhrim samajhte ho na, toh phir is mujhrim ke liye kyun itna pareshan ho rahe ho...' Armaan asked...
'Armaan please, yaha aao...' Riddhima said forwarding her hand...
'Kyun Basket, kyun main tumhare paas aaun jab tum mujhe khud se dur kar rahe ho... Tum kyun nehi aa sakti mere paas, kyun hamesha mujhe aana padta hai tumhare paas jab tum mujhe khud se dur karte ho...' Armaan said not caring about her bleeding hand...
Just than the front door open and Padma walk it holding shopping bangs... Padma wasn't aware of the happening in the house in her absent so seeing the door was left unlock, she started to call Shaanta bhen as she move to the hall but stop seeing Armaan...
'Armaan, tum ya...' Padma voice got vanished seeing blood falling from his hand on the floor...
'Ma, please Armaan ke haat ka dressing karwao...' Riddhima said getting Padma attention...
'Armaan, yeh kiya kardiya tumne...' Padma said moving towards him leaving the bags...
'Yeh toh kuch bhi nehi hai Aunty, jitni takleef aapke beti ne diya hai... Uske saamne toh yeh kuch bhi nehi hai...' Armaan said smiling a little...
'Kitni baar kaha hai, aise khud koh takleef mat pochao...' Padma said scolding him...
'Bhul jaata hun kyunki aise daatne wali ma jo nehi ta paas...' Armaan said bending his head...
'Chalo, main dressing kardeti hun...' Padma said...
'Nehi Aunty, jab tak Basket khud aakar mere haath mein dressing nehi karwate, tab tak main yaha se hilunga bhi nehi...' Armaan said...
'Yeh kiya bachpana hai Armaan, ma kardenge dressing... Kyun zidd kar rahe ho...' Riddhima said...
'Tumne toh kaha abhi tohdi der pehle, main har kaam ke liye zidd karta hun... Chalo dekhte hai, yeh aahiri baar mera zidd main manwata hun ya nehi...' Armaan said...
'Ma please...' Riddhima said looking at Padma helplessly...
'Armaan, chalo mere saath...' Padma said holding his other hand...
'Nehi Aunty, pehli baar aapke baat nehi maan sakte main...' Armaan said not looking towards Padma...
'Armaan, bekaar ki zidd mat karo... Ma aap uska dressing kardo...' Riddhima said...
'Behne doh yeh khoon phir...' Armaan said...
'Armaan please...' Riddhima said...
'Nehi Basket, jab tak tum mujhe sach nehi batate... Main dressing nehi karwaunga...' Armaan said...
'Kis sach ki baat kar rahe ho tum Armaan, maine jo letter mein likha aur abhi kaha wohi sach hai...' Riddhima said...
'Toh saza mujhe milna chahiyeh, aur yehi mera saza hai main apna khoon behne doh kyunki mere wajahse tumhe itni takleef jo huva...' Armaan said...
'Armaan tum zidd kar rahe ho ab...' Riddhima said...
'Zidd hi sahi...' Armaan said...
Padma who was helplessly watching the them couldn't hold herself any more, she has seen how her daughter was dying every single day due to the pain she has given to the person she loves the most in her life after her parents and here, now Armaan was hurting him thinking that he has hurt her so he deserve to be punished...
Just because Riddhima wasn't ready to speak out the truth to him, Padma couldn't see both of them hurting themselves to punish just because they love each other unconditionally... Their love was pure and strong that Padma knows Armaan wouldn't leave Riddhima after he knows the truth and that is what Riddhima fear because she thinks his life would be spoil due to her...
When both continue being stubborn without caring how much it was hurting each other as well other people in their life, Padma thought to break the ice knowing it would be best for all... So knowing what she has to do, being a mother who loves her daughter and want her happiness, she decide to stop their bickering...
'Riddhi nehi aa sakte tumhare paas Armaan...' Padma said breaking their bickering...
'Ma...' Riddhima call her name to stop her knowing she might speak the truth...
'Nehi Riddhi, bas bohot hogaya ab... Tum kab tak sacchai se bhaagti rahengi...' Padma said...
'Sach...??? Koansa sach...???' Armaan asked...
'Tum jaanna chaahte ho na Riddhi ne kyun tumhe choda Armaan...???' Padma asked looking towards Armaan...
'Ma please nehi... Aapne promise kiya mujhe, ma... Please...' Riddhima started to plead her mother...
'Main aur nehi dekh sakte tum dono koh aise haalat mein Riddhi, mujhe maaf karde lekin Armaan koh sach jaanne ka hak hai...' Padma said...
'Nehi ma, aap kuch nehi kahenge ma... Please ma nehi...' Riddhima said crying...
'Koansi sach ki baat kar rahe ho aap Aunty...' Armaan ask not caring about Riddhima pleading which was hurting him but he knows it was related to her and only Padma could tell him...
'Yehi ki Riddhi...' Padma was about to say but Riddhima stop her...
'Nehi ma, aap nehi bata sakti ma...' Riddhima move from the sofa but fall as she forwards her hand to her mother...
Padma rush to Riddhima who hugs her mother tightly, Armaan stood not knowing what was happening... Riddhima didn't try to stand as she kept hugging her mother pleading her not to speak anything further while Armaan was left shocked thinking what Riddhima was hiding from him...
'Uto Riddhi...' Padma help her but Riddhima look at Armaan and than she look at her legs...
Armaan follow her gaze and when he look towards her legs, he was confused that what happen to her... Armaan try his best to understand what happen the moment he has come in front of her... Than Armaan realized, for once Riddhima didn't move from the sofa...
Seeing him hurt himself, still she didn't came running to him and now when Padma was trying to tell him about the truth of something related to her, she try but fall as if she... COULDN'T WALK... SHE CAN'T WALK... SHE CAN'T STAND, SHE CAN'T WALK...
It was than Armaan remember that five months ago, bullet hit on Riddhima back just above the spine... As the flash came in front of his eyes making him realized, why Riddhima has left from his life blaming him so she thought Armaan would hate her for thinking because of him she has to face problem in life... Not because she really think like that but she wants him to hate her, because she can't walk...
Now everything got clear to Armaan, unknowingly tears started to fall from his eyes realizing the truth... What Riddhima was hiding from him, why Riddhima was purposely hurting him so he could hate her, forget her because, she can't walk...
Padma who was holding Riddhima, look towards Armaan... Seeing the tears falling from his eyes, Padma understood that Armaan has understood the truth... Riddhima was softly crying hugging Padma as she hide herself in her mother arms, she knows Armaan would be broken to know the truth...
'Yehi sach hai Armaan, jiski kaaran Riddhi tumse dur huvi... Yehi sach hai Armaan ki Riddhi ab nehi chal sakti kyunki... HER LOWER BODY IS PARALYZED...' Padma said finally letting the full truth out...
While Riddhima sit crying hugging her mother, Armaan just stood like a statue looking at the duo... His eyes were truly on them but his mind has gone numb when his brain realized the truth... The truth Riddhima was trying to hide from him and was successful to do for five months... Just only those words were roaming in his mind now as everything else didn't seems alive around him now , 'HER LOWER BODY IS PARALYZED...'
