An AR TS
PART 4
GARDEN
While Armaan was unable to sleep, Riddhima was going through the same situation... Her heart was restless as the moment was roaming in her mind which happen in the kitchen a few minutes ago... It's not that Armaan had never come so closed to her or kiss her cheek like that before but, Riddhima felt this time it was different why and how she don't understand because it was the same Riddhima and Armaan...
Not able to keep her eyes shut for more then a minute, Riddhima got fed up tossing on bed as sleep was mile away from her eyes... Riddhima move out knowing no one would be awake this late, she move towards the garden when she suddenly heard some tune playing and next moment someone singing...
Wondering who it might be, Riddhima was lost in the song and its meaning... Whoever was singing, he was singing with so much feeling that it touch Riddhima heart... Riddhima wanted to know who it was but she don't know how she would find the person...
As outside was cold due to the breeze blowing, Riddhima keep rubbing her hands on her arms... She was wearing a large t.shirt which end up to her upper thigh wearing a legging which reach to her knee... Her hair was tie in to a messy bun with some falling over her face, she has remove her make up but was looking beautiful in her natural beauty...
Riddhima move around the garden, trying to know who might be singing at this time of the night... Who must be not able to sleep just like her tonight... She was so lost, she didn't know when the song end and suddenly silent was around the place... Looking up at the sky, Riddhima smile seeing the half moon and stars twinkling around it...
Riddhima reach to a bench and sit down as she wanted to enjoy the atmosphere for some times before moving in... Her mind and heart was little calm by now after hearing that song... Unknowingly, she was complimenting the person who sang that song and was having a beautiful husky voice...
Riddhima was lost in her thought when suddenly she heard some movement from behind her... She look around to see someone coming towards her direction, as it was dark she couldn't make who it was until the person came out in to the dim light which was around the garden...
Seeing who it was, Riddhima let a relief sigh as a smile form in her lips... She sit back looking at the sky when the person came and sit next to her... Next second, a steam coffee cup came in front of her eyes... Smiling, Riddhima hold it looking towards the person...
'Tum yaha kiya kar rahe ho Armaan, soyi nehi abhi tak???' Riddhima said...
'Neend nehi aa raha ta, maine tumhe yaha dekha toh socha kyun na ek cup of coffee hojae...
Tum yaha akele beit ke kiya soch rahe ho..???' Armaan asked...
'Kuch nehi, bas aise hi baahar aagayi ti... Mujhe bhi neend nehi aa rahi ti toh soja kuch der tak yaha rehlungi...' Riddhima said...
They sit like that without saying anything for sometimes, both were sipping their coffee as they enjoy the silent and the atmosphere... Riddhima smile as she taste the coffee, very well knowing it was make by Armaan... She still remember the first day Armaan make coffee for her, she challenge him he wouldn't know how to make a coffee and he surprise her not only making a coffee but it was one of the best and tasty coffee Riddhima ever had in her life till now...
Armaan was wondering what Riddhima must be thinking, when she didn't say a word he look towards her to see her smiling as she was lost somewhere... As he saw her sipping the coffee slowly, he understood he must be thinking the day first Armaan make coffee for her when she challenge...
'Aise kyun mus kuraa rahe ho...' Armaan asked breaking her trace...
'Yaad haina, jab tumne mere liyeh pehli baar coffee banaya...' Riddhima asked...
'Kaise bhul sakta hoon woh din, maine tumhe itna bada shock de diya tum toh pura din chup hi hogaye...' Armaan said...
'Pata hai Armaan, bachpan se aaj tak maine ma papa se dur nehi rahi itni din tak... Lekin yeh kuch mahine, mujhe ek baar bhi uski kami mehsoos nehi huva.. Aisa nehi hai main unko bhul gaye lekin, main hamesha kahin pe bhi rahi apne ma papa koh apni paas chahti hoon...' Riddhima said...
'Shayad is baar issiliyeh aisa nehi huva kyunki mom dad tumhare saat ti...' Armaan said...
'Sahi kaha tumne, jabse main yaha aayi hoon... Uncle Aunty ne mujhe kabhi un dono ke kami mehsoos hone nehi diya... Aur aaj dekho, mujhe koi rishta na hote huve bhi aunty uncle mujhe is ghar ki ek member ki tarah treat karte hai...' Riddhima said...
'Riddhima, tum aur humhare rishta hai... Dosti ka, aur mera dost mere parents ke liyeh uske bacche ke barabar hai...' Armaan said...
'Tumse alawa bhi meri dost hai Armaan, lekin kabhi unke parents mujhe aise apni ghar ki member nehi samajhte...' Riddhima said...
'Ab kiya kare Riddhima, tum hai hi itni acchi aur mere mom dad koh hamesha se hi ek beti chahiyeh ti toh jab tum aayi, usko uski adhura sapna bhi pura hote huve dekha... Aur Armaan Mallik ka mom dad itna accha hai ki woh toh kissi koh bhi apna baccha maanlete hai...' Armaan said...
'True, they are very nice people... One of the best parents I had ever soon after ma papa...' Riddhima said...
'I know, ab dekho na... Aaj shaadi koh 30 years huva hai... Phir bhi ek dusre se itna pyar karte hai jitna pehle bhi karti hai...' Armaan said...
'So true yaar, har ladki yehi chaahenge uske partner aise usse pyar kare zindagi bar... Ladkiya apne ghar, apna sab kuch chod ke ek nayi ghar mein, naye logo ke beech jeene ke liyeh issi ummeed mein aati hai jo uski partner har gadam mein uske saat rahe, usse support kare, usse pyar kare jitna uske ma baap ne usse pyar kiya...' Riddhima said...
'Aur yeh baat bohot kam log samajhte hai...' Armaan said...
'Hmmm... Its getting late, we should go and sleep...' Riddhima said...
'Yeah, lets move... Subah kaam pe bhi toh jaana hai...' Armaan said...
After keeping the empty cups in the kitchen, both move to their respective rooms... Before entering the room, they wish each other goodnight and retire to their room to get some sleep... After spending sometimes with each other, both were feeling calm and relax...
NEXT DAY MORNING
As all had slept late, they got up late and was running out late for their work... Muskaan also had a appointment line up at early hours rush out after making sure that the servant make breakfast for others, Rahul follow by her as he has to attend a important meeting as Karan had taken a off from work...
Where as Armaan and Riddhima were also running late, so without having proper breakfast they rush out each holding a paratta to eat on their way to the work... Nandini was trying to make them have breakfast but no one listen as they all had busy schedule line up for the day...
Karan smile seeing how Nandini was treating each one as if they all were their own child... She didn't different Muskaan and Riddhima with Rahul and Armaan... Seeing all the kids run out, Nandini look towards Karan who smile asking her to join him in breakfast...
'Yeh bacche bhi na, time par nehi ut te... Ab pata nehi din mein kab tikse khana khayenge... Kaam mein itna busy hojate hai, sab khane pe dyan nehi dete...' Nandini said...
'Bacche bade hogaye hai Nandu, bhuk lage toh khalenge... Tum beito, hum dono nashta karte hai saath mein...' Karan said...
'Karan, shayad aap bhul rahe ho ghar pe mehmaan hai...' Nandini said...
'If u r talking about Shashank and Smriti bhabhi, then they are not guest Nandu... They are family, aur ab toh hum ek dusre ke saath rishta pakka karne wale hai toh humein guest ki tarah nehi, ek pariwar ki tarah dekhna hoga...' Karan said...
'Kiske saath rishta pakka karne ki baat ho raha hai Karan...' Shashank asked coming with Smriti...
Karan and Nandini look towards Shashank and Smriti who was coming towards the dinning area... Nandini move side to let Shashank sit next to Karan on his right side while she took left side... Smriti sit next to Shashank and soon both ladies started to serve their husband's...
'Good morning Shashank, acche se neend aaya na aapko raat mein...' Karan said...
'Neend toh aana hi tana Karan, itna lamba safar ke baad aur phir party ke baad hum bohot tak gaya ta...' Shashank said...
'Accha hai, nehi toh nayi jhaga mein kabhi kabhi neend nehi aate logo kon...' Nandini said...
'Aap dono kiya baat kar rahi ti...' Smriti asked...
'Woh Nandu complain kar rahi ti, bacche bina nashta kiye kaam pe gaye issiliyeh...' Karan said...
'Bacche kaam pe chale gaye???' Shashank asked...
'haan, sabke schedule hai... Issiliyeh chale gaye...' Nandini said...
'Riddhima bhi...' Smriti asked...
'Haan Riddhima beti bhi gayi hai Armaan ke saat... Dono koh ek hi jhaga jaana hai toh jab bhi woh yaha rukhte hai woh Armaan ke saat jaate hai...' Karan said...
'Thank you so much Karan aur Nandini bhabhi... Aap dono humhare bacchi ki itna dyan rakhte hai...' Shashank said...
'Ismein thanks ki kiya baat hai bhaisaab... Riddhima toh humhari beti ki tarah hai...' Nandini said...
'Haan Shashank, jabse woh humhare ghar aati jaati rehte hai... Sabki zindagi mein khushi bardiya hai, humein accha lagta hai baaki bacchon ke tarah woh bhi humhare saath rahe...' Karan said...
'Hmmm, issiliyeh humne kuch socha hai... Woh bhi jawan hogaye hai ab, uski shaadi toh ek na ek din karwani hai... Kitni din tak woh is ghar mein aate jaate rahenge...' Shashank said...
Nandini look towards Karan when Shashank mentioning about getting Riddhima married... Karan blink his eyes getting what Nandini was trying to say through her eyes... It was the beauty of their relation that they understand each other words without speaking it loud...
'Sahi kaha tumne Shashank, bacche toh humhare bhi bada hogaya hai... Hum bhi apne chote bete Armaan ke liyeh ladki dhund raha hoon... Kuch din se Riddhima se itna lagav hogaye hai, hum soch rahe hai kyun na hum usse hamesha ke liye is ghar mein laye...' Karan said looking at both Shashank and Smriti...
Shocked was written all over Shashank and Smriti face, they never know Karan and Nandini were thinking the same way they were thinking about Armaan and Riddhima... They know Riddhima is well manner child, who respect and love her elders, be kind and lovable for small kids... Riddhima always manage to make special place in every single person heart she met with her good behavior and lovable nature...
When neither of Shashank and Smriti said anything, Nandini stood up moving towards Smriti... Seeing their expression, Nandini and Karan understood they weren't expecting this sort of thing to happen but they know, Shashank and Smriti wouldn't deny as they know Armaan as well as Nandini and Karan knows about Riddhima...
'Shashank bhaisaab, Smriti... Humein Riddhima, tab se pasand hai jab woh pehli baar is ghar mein aaye... Jitna waqt humein Riddhima beti ke saat bitaya, humne jaana hai woh kitni acchi hai... Jo humein humhare bahu mein chahiyeh woh saare gun Riddhima mein hai...
Sirf humhare saath nehi, woh har ek member ke saat itni comfortable ho chuki hai ab hum apne life uske bina imagine bhi nehi kar sakte... Itna nehi, humne uske aankhon mein Armaan ke liyeh woh ehsaas dekha hai jo kissi aur ladki ke aankhon mein humne Armaan ke liyeh nehi dekha...' Nandini said...
'Nandini bilkul sahi keh rahi hai, dono ne shayad realized nehi kiya hoga jo woh dono share karte hai woh dost se kuch zyada hai... Armaan ke zindagi mein bohot aise dost aaye hai jiske saath Armaan ek limit tak rehte hai lekin Riddhima se woh itni close hogaye hai, uske aane ke baad Armaan koh kabhi kissi nayi dost ki zarurat hi nehi pada...
Hum jaante hai aap logo koh bhi apne beti ke liyeh aisa pariwaar chahiyeh hoga jo tumhare beti koh woh jaisa hai waisa accept kare... Jo tumhari beti koh itna pyar kare, jitna aap dono ne pyar kiya... Aur humein aisa beti chahiyeh jo humein respect kare aur humein apna maante...' Karan said...
'Aap dono ne toh humhare mann ki baat bol diya... Humne bhi dekha hai Armaan aur Riddhima ek dusre ke saath kitni comfortable hogaye hai... Aisa lagta hai un dono koh kissi aur ki zarurat nehi hote jab dono saath hote toh...' Shashank said looking towards Smriti...
'Haan, humne kal raat socha isbaar hum apne beti ki rishta pakka karke waapas jaaenge... Armaan ke jaisa uska khayal rakhne wala, aap dono jaisa usse pyar karne wale parents humein kaha milenge...' Smriti said...
'Iska matlab aap dono koh is rishte se koi problem nehi hai...' Nandini asked...
'Humein kyun problem hoga bhabhi, itna accha pariwaar se apne beti ki rishte ki baat ho rahi hai...' Shashank said...
'Yeh huvi na baat, chalo issi baat pe muh mita hojae...' Karan said...
'Lekin bhaisaab, humein ek baar Armaan aur Riddhima se baat karlena chahiyeh... I mean humein bacchon koh kissi baat ke liyeh force nehi karna chahiyeh...' Smriti said...
'Tum sahi keh rahe ho Smriti, humein baat koh aage bada ne se pehle bacchon se baat karlena chahiyeh...' Nandini said...
Both parents were happy that they were thinking to get their children tie in a knot to make their relation stronger than it was now to take another level of their friendship... They somewhere feel that neither of Armaan and Riddhima would object as they had seen something more then friendship in their eyes for each other but still they didn't want to expect more unless they know whats in Armaan and Riddhima heart as well as mind...
AT NIGHT
With lot's of fun, Mallik's and Gupta's have dinner together, Riddhima left with her parents while other retire to their room after a hectic day in work... Armaan was also in room but sleep was far away from his eyes... He was counting the hours waiting to see Riddhima as he was feeling unknown restless in his heart...
Armaan was sitting in the bean bag, in balcony playing a tune in his guitar... The moment he share with Riddhima all these months were roaming in his mind... He felt some movement behind him making his trace break, he look around to see his parents standing smiling seeing him sitting playing his guitar...
Seeing his parents in his room, Armaan wondered what happen... He stood up moving inside as out it was getting cold and it was a bit late too... Karan and Nandini sit on the bed while Armaan sit on the floor with his head resting on Nandini lap...
'What happen, aap dono is waqt yaha kaise...???' Armaan asked closing his eyes as Nandini started to massage his forehead...
'Woh humein aapse kuch baat karni hai...' Nandini said...
'Buddy, aapne kaha aap shaadi tab karenge jab aap apne dreams fulfilled kare... Aur ab sirf tumne apne dreams nehi, tumne apne kaam mein itna successful hogaye hai har koi tumhe jaante hai... Issiliyeh humne socha hai, its high time u think about to get married and search a girl for u if u don't have a girl in ur life...' Karan said...
'Hum yeh jaanna chahte hai tumhare zindagi mein koi hai ya nehi...' Nandini asked bending over him...
Armaan just sit closing his eyes, feeling Nandini bending over him he open his eyes looking at his mother... He turn around still sitting on the floor, he hold Nandini hands placing it on her lap... Karan and Nandini wait Armaan to speak, they were curious to know whats in his mind and heart...
'Aap dono ne nazar mein koi hai toh mujhe batao, main sochta hoon...' Armaan said smiling to them...
'Buddy, are u sure u don't have any girl who u want to get in relation...???' Karan asked...
'Armaan, tum humein batao... Jo bhi ho, hum uske parents se baat karti hoon...' Nandini said...
'Mom, dad... Mere life mein koi hota toh main aap dono koh zarur batate... Lekin aisa koi hai nehi toh main kiya bataun... Aur aap dono yehi chahte haina main shaadi ke baare mein sochun... Aap dono ladki dekho, main milke aapko apna jawab deti hoon...' Armaan said...
Nandini and Karan look to each other, now they were sure that Armaan was still unaware of his feelings towards Riddhima... They were hoping Armaan to confess his feelings for Riddhima to them but hearing his answer, they knew he was still not sure of his feelings for Riddhima...
'Phir tik hai Buddy, humhare naraz mein ek ladki hai... Shayad aapko bhi pasand aaye, jo bhi faisla tum lo... Humein manzur hoga, tum chahte hai toh use milke baat bhi karlena...' Karan said...
'Tik hai Dad, main usse mil lunga... Koan hai woh jo aap logo koh pasand hai...' Armaan asked...
'Riddhima...' Nandini said...
Armaan sit rooted on his place as if the world around him stop, he keeps looking towards Karan and Nandini not blinking his eyes for god knows how many minutes... His heartbeat started to race while he felt an unknown happiness travel down in his spine...
'Kiya kehte ho uske baare mein buddy...' Karan asked ruffling his hair...
'Dekho baccha, tumhe jitna waqt lena hai tum le sakte ho... Humein koi jaldi nehi hai...' Nandini said...
Seeing no reaction from Armaan, caring his hair both Karan and Nandini stood up to leave... Armaan just sit there, not believing his ears... He never thought about any girl other then Riddhima all this months and now his parents wants them to be in husband and wife relation so she would be with them 24/7 hours...
'Mom, Dad..' Armaan call as he stood up seeing his parents leave...
Karan and Nandini turn around looking towards him, Armaan ruffle his hair as a smile was on his lips... Karan and Nandini wait for him to say something related to the matter but seeing his action, they understood there is no reason for him to go against this alliance...
'We are sure, she would be the best for u and for us Buddy...' Karan said...
'Riddhima se kissi ne poocha woh kiya chahte hai???' Armaan asked...
'Don't worry baccha, Shashank bhaisaab aur Smriti usse baat karenge... Tum dono ke manzuri ke bina hum yeh baat aage nehi lejaenge...' Nandini said...
'Love you mom...' Armaan said moving towards her and hugging her...
'Love u too baccha...' Nandini said...
'No one loves me...' Karan said pouting like a kid...
'Love u too Dad...' Armaan said hugging him...
'Me too...' Karan said patting his back...
Soon Karan and Nandini left, Armaan close the door and move to his bed letting his body fall on it... He took out his mobile and unlock it to see his and Riddhima picture on its wall paper... It was taken from his parents anniversary party where they were laughing over something in the dance floor... Armaan care the picture and close his eyes to meet the girl he unknowingly was in love...
RIDDHIMA APARTMENT
As it was two room apartment, Riddhima clean the other room for her parents... Smriti help Riddhima to clean as they didn't have to do much cleaning just only to change the bed sheet and put the curtains, it didn't take much time... While they arrange the room, Shashank went to take a bath...
After helping Smriti, Riddhima went to take a shower before hitting the bed as she was so tired by now... She was wearing a over large t.shirt with legging, water drops falling from her wet hair as she was busy applying lotion on her arms... Suddenly someone knock the door making Riddhima check the time...
Riddhima knows it would be one of her parents as no one else were there other then them... She called to come in, soon the door was open with Smirit coming inside follow by Shashank who was all set to go to bed... Seeing them she thought, they came to wish her good night so she gave them a huge smile...
'Riddhima, yeh kiya hai beti... Tumne acche se bhaal kyun nehi dry ki..' Smriti asked taking the towel which was on the bed next to her...
'Ma, main abhi karne wali ti...' Riddhima said...
'Haan mujhe pata hai tu karne wali ti, phir bhul jaenge aur aise hi sojaenge... Bilkul apna dhyan nehi rakhti na tum...' Smriti said...
'Papa, yeh ma koh kiya huva hai achanak...' Riddhima asked Shashank who sit next to her...
Smriti stood on Riddhima other side drying her hair without giving any attention to Riddhima talk... Both were thinking how they would bring the topic of her marriage as they don't know she would react... Also why might think they wanted to get her married because she lives alone in this city...
'Princess, tumhe pata haina how much concern your ma is for you... Bas itni din baad mili na, issiliyeh tohda emotional hogayi as usual...' Shashank said putting his hand around Riddhima shoulder...
Riddhima understood what Shashank was trying to say, it always happen from last eight months whenever they visit her... Smriti will pamper her every moment she step in the apartment... As if she is trying to store for those day she miss taking care of her or for coming days...
'Ma, main acche se dyan rakhti hoon... Aur aap jaante hona, Nandini Aunty aur Karan Uncle bhi meri kitna dyan rakhte hai...' Riddhima said holding Smriti hand stopiing her...
'Jaanti hoon, lekin ma koh chinta toh hogina... Tum itni dur rehte ho humse, aur bas kuch din ke liyeh milte ho... I miss you so much...' Smriti said kissing Riddhima hand...
'I miss you too Ma, aapke jhaga koi nehi le sakte... Yeh sach hai Nandini aunty try karte hai main aapko miss na karun... Apne gahr koh, aap dono koh lekin yeh kabhi possible nehi hogi right... You both are the best parents and I love you both so much...' Riddhima said hugging them...
Shashank and Smriti smile at her action, they also hugs her and stay like that for a moment... Then breaking the hug, Smriti ask Shashank through her eyes to talk Riddhima about Armaan... Riddhima saw this and look at her father who just gave her a nervous smile...
'Kiya baat hai, aap dono koh kuch kehna hai...' Riddhima asked...
'Haan woh... main... I mean hum...' Shashank didn't know how to bring the topic...
'Kiya baat hai Papa, aap itna gabra kyun rahe ho...' Riddhima asked...
'Woh aapki ma koh kuch kehna hai aapse...' Shashank said...
'Shashank...' Smriti call his name...
Both knows, Riddhima would listen only if Shashank bring the topic... Before also they have bring this topic several time but Riddhima clearly said she wouldn't think of it unless she reach her goals and make her name in front of whole world... She wants to everyone know her by her talent not by Shashank Gupta's daughter...
'Aap hi bata doh ma, kiya baat hai... Anything serious???' Riddhima asked...
'Nehi, serious baat toh nehi hai lekin bohot important baat karni hai tujhse...' Smriti said...
'Kahi yeh na ma...' Riddhima said...
'Woh aaj aapke liyeh ek rishta aayi hai... Pehle puri tarah meri baat sunna beti...' Smriti said seeing Riddhima expression change and she open her mouth to reply her...
'Haan princess, pehle baat sunlo... Aap jaisa chaahte hai waisa hi hoga...' Shashank said...
Riddhima close her mouth giving chance to Smriti and Shashank to speak, she knows this time she wouldn't have a reason to back off from this topic as they did give her the time she wants to make her identity to be known in front of the whole world... Today, she was known to several people around the world... She had successfully achieve what she desire from childhood...
'Hum aapko force nehi karenge bacchi lekin aap ek baar usse milo aur socho is baare mein... Hum jaante hai aapke zindagi mein shayad aisa koi nehi hai aap jiske saat apni baaki ke zindagi guzarna chahte hai... Lekin aisa koi hai toh aap humse kaho, hum uske parents se baat karenge...' Smriti said...
'Haan princess, its not necessary for u to agree to the alliance if u don't want... Humein woh bohot accha lagta hai lekin aahiri faisla aap pe chodti hoon... Hum ummeed karte hai, aap soch ke faisla lenge kyunki yeh aapki zindagi ka sawal hai... Aapko pura hak hai apne liyeh life partner chunna kyunki aapko hi uske saat, uske pariwar ke saat rehna hai...' Shashank said...
'Kahin na kahin hum jaante hai aapke jawab kiya hogi beti, phir bhi hum yeh faisla aapke haat mein chodti hoon... Aapko jitna waqt chahiyeh, utna waqt lo... Koi jaldi nehi hai...' Smriti said...
All this while Riddhima sit not saying a word, she was waiting for them to tell who it was... Who was the groom, whose alliance came for her... She knows she is known to the whole world but she wasn't expecting anyone to send alliance for her that too when she was enjoying her work so much...
Shashank and Smriti wait for Riddhima to say something as they thought at least she would ask who the guy was... When she didn't said anything, Smriti look towards Shashank asking through her eyes what to do... Shashank blink his eyes and took Riddhima mobile which was kept in the side table of her bed...
As they know how strong friendship she share with Armaan, surely she would have his pictures in her mobile... Shashank unlock her mobile and saw her picture with Armaan, he smile looking at Smriti who asked why he was smiling... Shashank show her mobile to Smriti who smile understanding why Shashank was smiling...
'Dekho toh kitni acchi lag rahe ho dono saat mein, abhi toh sirf dost hai lekin tum dono chahte hai toh humein koi problem nehi hai tum dono ke shaadi karwane mein...' Shashank said showing the picture to Riddhima...
Riddhima eyes popped out seeing about whom Shashank and Smriti were talking... She look towards Shashank and Smriti to make sure if she was dreaming or it was reality... Seeing their smile, they understood they were serious about this alliance but she didn't understood how they came to this conclusion...
'Dekho baccha, yeh mat sochna humein tum dono koh aise saath mein ghumna rehna accha nehi lagti ya tik nehi lagte... Karan bhaisaab aur Nandini bhi yehi chahte hai tum uske ghar mein bahu nehi beti banke hamesha ke liyeh jae...' Smriti said...
'Aur humein bhi Armaan bohot pasand hai... Hum jaante hai aap dono bohot acche dost se, isse zyada aap dono shayad ek dusre ke baare mein socha bhi nehi hoga... Sach kahun, humein itna chinta nehi hote aapko jitna humein hona chahiyeh... Kyunki humein pata hai Armaan aur uske gharwale tumhari pura dyan rakhenge...' Shashank said...
'Tum abhi se uske ghar mein ek member ke tarah aate jaate rehte ho... Woh log pehle se hi yehi chahte hai tum uske saat rahe, tum hi socho baccha... Woh toh tumhe ek beti ki tarah pyar karte hai, har kissi ladki koh aise pariwar chahiyeh jo usko ek beti ki tarah treat kare, pyar kare... Bohot khush naseeb hogi tum, tum us ghar ki bahu manenge toh... Ek pyar karne wala ma baap milenge, bhai bhabhi aur dost jo tumhari life partner banenge... Isse zyada kiya chahiyeh ek ladki koh Riddhima...' Smriti said...
Riddhima was thinking about everything Smriti and Shashank was saying... She knows they are right but will Armaan wanted the same... Will they be able to accept this for their parents or being friends from such a short time... She knows things would change or maybe it has already started to change...
Riddhima think about her life the day she shifted to this City, the girl who focus on nothing else other then dancing now look forwards to spend time with her best friend... Muskaan is her best friend too but, she manage to stay not meeting her for several years but now, if she couldn't meet or see her best friend for a day she feels restless...
Was it just because they are best friends or more than that... From few days, Riddhima was feeling unknown emotions growing in her heart for Armaan... Whom she take as his best friend, she has started to imagine him, thinking about him in the free time she get...
Remembering the time she spend with him, how comfortable they are with each other... How they share every single thing happen in their day without missing a single letter... Was it just because they are best friend or more then that... Confusion and confusion, Riddhima felt uneasy thinking what relation she actually share with Armaan...
'Bohot der hogaye hai, tum sojao princess...' Shashank said...
'Papa...' Riddhima call his name...
Shashank and Smriti stood up to leave seeing Riddhima didn't give any answer... They know she would need time to figure out about her feelings for him and the relation she share with him... Seeing Riddhima expression, they understood she was in deep thought so not wanting to disturb her, they thought to give her the space she would need...
Hearing Riddhima call her father, both stop and look towards her... She just shook her head not understanding what she really need to say... So much was going in her mind and heart, she was not sure what she really want... Smriti move towards her caring her hair, she kiss her temple... Shashank kiss her forehead wishing her goodnight, both left giving Riddhima her space to think over the matter...
Riddhima sit on the bed and look at her mobile screen to see her picture with Armaan... It was from the day they win a dancing tournement, Riddhima got the first prize and she drag Armaan along with her... Big smile was on their face as they hold the trophy and pose for the picture...
Smile form in Riddhima lips thinking her days with Armaan, specially that day... Smile wasn't leaving from their face and Armaan throw a party for their and specially to her successful... Riddhima remember the words her parents just said about Armaan and his family...
Closing her eyes, Riddhima sink in to the bed letting her mind and heart debate what would be best for her... After sometimes, she smile when she finally understand what she want and what she needs to do... She knows it was not only related to her, her one answer would change several people life and whatever she has decide, it would be best for everyone and for her too because she can never let anyone life change from happiness to bad...
