PART 48 - Yeh Kaisa Ishara Hain

As riddhima saw their princess is snuggling closer to his dad's chest more and more her eyes have tears seeing that and that sight just takes her back to the memory lane of the day when she is waiting for armaan in the Sanjeevani

Riddhima is in Sanjeevani on her duty after sending him with his family to visit their ancestral temple and as now she is passing from his cabin as her gaze fell on the nameplate of his Dr. Armaan Mallik Neurosurgeon she smiled and then caressed his name over the nameplate and then she

Ri:''armaan  aap tou keh rahein the ki jab tak mujhe aapki yad ani shuru hogi aap mere paas honge par aisa nahiin hain armaan dekhiye na abhie tou aapo gayye hue kuch hi ghante (hours) hue hain aur I am missing you terribly armaan kab aayenge aap armaan''

She said to herself as she is missing him from morning she tried to makes her busy in lots of things, after he left she thought to sleep for some hours as her duty timing is late but as soon she laid on the bed and closed her eyes she saw his smiling face and she immediately opened her eyes and then as she turned changes her side she feels so lonely yes lonely on her own bed on which she is sleeping from past so many years, just four nights she shared bed with him and she already dependent on him for her sleep. For sometime she did not knows what is happening to her why she can't able to sleep though she is hell tired of all the travelling and all but then she gets her answers as her gaze fell on the pillow that is used  by him in the night. She remembered how she sleeps in his arms placing her head on his chest gosh she is getting mad in his love with each and every passing second. Then finally leaving the idea of sleeping she left for the hospital as the bed did nothing but makes her missing him more and more with his essence and then she gets changed and leaves for the hospital. And here she is quite early from her reporting time trying to diver her mind but there she is again in back to missing him just the name plate of his makes her missing him terribly. She smiled remembering her morning and then she kissing his name speaks up as

Ri:''pagal ho gayyi hun armaan main aapke pyaar meiin kal tak lagta tha ki bas aur pagal nahiin ho sakti aapko chahne meiin par har roz aapki chahat mujhe deewangi ki had tak pagal bana rahi hain armaan''

And then she heard her pager ringing bringing her back from her thoughts so she rushed towards the emergency as it's emergency call for her as one of her patients got into labor. As soon she start preparing for her emergency cesarean as she needs c section delivery. And she feels so tensed about the operation itself as she saw how the lady and her husband is eagerly waiting for their child coming in this world, she saw them literally counting the days. And this makes her more nervous the hopes of the Husband she did not knows what is going to happen then suddenly she heard that husky voice that makes her day brighter and she turned to saw him standing there with his million dollar smile on his lips and seeing him she is shocked so she just

Ri:''armaan aap yahan kab aye?''

She asked and then armaan comes closer to her and the holding her one cheek in his palm he speaks up

Ar:''kyun itni nervous ho rahi ho jaan kya hua?''

He asked ignoring her question and then she sighed and

Ri:''armaan mujhe bahut dar lag raha hain pata hain armaan poore 5 years ke bad itnein treatment ke bad Mr.&Mrs. Shah ko yeh dekhne milla hain armaan aap jaante hain armaan kitne sapne dekhe hain oonhone aapnein is baby ke saath mujhe soch kar hi dar lag raha hain kii kahin oonke sapne''

She could not able to complete her sentence and armaan then cupped her face in his palms and then he

Ar:''aisa kuch nahiin hoga jaan dekhna oonke saare sapne poore honge oonke paas itni achi Doctor jo hain jo oonke baby ke saath oonki jitna hi judi hain dekhna abhie kuch hi der meiin tum Mr. Shah ko oonke pyaare se angel ko den rahi hogi jaan''

He said looking deep in his eyes and riddhima looked at him the confidence he showed in her then she

Ri:''armaan pakka sab theek hoga na aap mere saath hain naa armaan''

Ar:''off course jaan humesha chalo aab jaldi se jao ek nanha sa angel is duniya meiin ane ka intejar kar raha hain jaan''

He said and riddhima nodded and then she moved towards to hug him but she is shocked as she finds him no where at sight and she looked here and there then she smiled yes off course he is here though not here yet here he is her heart's insight voice and persona and then she smiled and whispered that

Ri:''I love you so much armaan humesha ki tarah aapnein aaj bhi meri problem solve kar di''

She speaks in her heart then she heard him

Ar:''I love you too jaan''

And she shakes her head hearing her heart's voice in his voice then finally all confident she started reading the reports in between the nurse is helping her and after some minutes she is engrossed in her file and then she finds some one is calling her as she turned she saw it's Mr. Shah the lady's husband and

MS:''Doctor meri wife aur mera bacha thek tou hain na?''

He asked and riddhima can see that anxiousness and tension for his wife and baby clearly on his face she comes closer to him and putting her hand on his shoulder she speaks up in her most honest voice

Ri:''sab theek hain Mr.Shah aap fikar mat kijiye main poori koshish karungi ki abhie aapko aapka Baby aur Mrs. Shah saunp dun par ooske liyye mujhe aapke saath aur aapke mujh meiin vishwas ki zarurat hain main aapni jaan laga dungi Mr. Shah bas aap Bhagwan Ji se kahiye ki vo humara saath den ok''

She said and Mr.Shah nodded hearing her honest and determined reply and then she heard srishti's voice as she called her saying that

Sr:''mam everything is ready''

And riddhima nodded and then giving Mr. Shah a nod and smile pressing his shoulder gently she moved towards the O.T. And as soon she entered in the O.T. putting her surgeon cap she remembered him how he always tied her strings then she takes deep breath and then closed her eyes and she saw his smiling face blowing her kiss and then she smiled and then go to her patient

Ri:''all the best srishti''

And srishti smiled and then nodded and

Sr:''thank you mam''

And then they start it after 4 hours long surgery riddhima comes out from the O.T. with a big smile on her face and as soon she comes she saw Mr.Shah running towards her and seeing her showered her with questions

MS:''Dr. merii wife mera bacha kaisa hain?''

He asked and riddhima with smile handled him his baby

Ri:''congrats Mr. Shah aapke yahan beti aur beta donow aye hain''

As she handled him his daughter srishti comes with the baby boy and then Mr. Shah has that big smile on his face seeing his little bundle of joy in front of his eyes and then before taking them he asked her

MS:''thank you doctor but merii wife how is she, she is fine na?''

He asked impatiently and riddhima awed to him she witnessed his love for his better half, in all these nine months he never even leave her alone then smilingly as she answered him as

Ri:''yes Mr. Shah soniya ji bilkul theek hum oonhein room meiin shift kar rahein hain tab aap oonse mill sakte hain''

She said giving him smile and he smiled at her then

MS:''thank you so much doctor aagar aap aaj nahiin hoti tou pata nahiin kya hota aaj''

He said having tears in his eyes and riddhima just handled him his baby and then she just

Ri:''maine kuch nahiin kiyya hain Mr. Shah its your love and god's blessings to you and please no more tears now. Yeh lijiye aapnein nanhe se princess aur prince ko sambhaliye aap''

She said as she handled him his daughter and seeing her he smiled and then spoke to her

MS:''hi bacha main aapka dady hun''

And then seeing him riddhima saw a flash of something 

                                                A:''hi meri jaan meri nanhi si princess you know main aapka dada hun yes baby dada yad hain na hum roz baat karte the I love you merii jaan acha chaliye abhie hum aapki mumma se milne chalte hain, after all oonhone ne hi tou hum donow ko milaya hain na meri pyaari si nanhi si jaan''

And he kissed her on her for head and then snuggled her closer to his chest having that million dollar dimpled smile on his face and the baby have that dimple smile too on her face, she smiled seeing that scene in front of her eyes suddenly she heard her name calling 

Sr:''mam''

And she looked here and there and she saw no one is there just Mr. Shah is with his babies and an anxious srishti is calling her as she again looked here and there srishti nudged her then she

Sr:''mam are you fine?''

And then she finally comes back to the reality and nodded to her she just

Ri:''yea I am fine srishti you go and have break and congrats Mr. Shah once again''

She said grabbing Mr.Shah's attention and he smiled and thanked her then sister comes

MS:''thank you doctor''

Si:''mam patient ko room meiin shift kar diyya hain''

And riddhima nodded and then she nodded to Mr. Shah and an eager husband goes with his babies to met his wife and riddhima smiled. Then she heard srishti's voice as she is still there and

Sr:''bhabhi aap bhi mere saath cafe chaliye na you must be tired''

And riddhima smiled at her then she looked at her and shakes her head in disagreement and as she called her Bhabhi she again started missing him and

Ri:''nahin srishti tum jao main aapnein cabin meiin coffee order kar lungi''

She said as they start walking towards riddhima's cabin but srishti try to object as

Sr:''kya bhabhi aaj bhayiya nahiin hain tou aap cafe bhi nahiin aayengi humari company itni bhi boring nahiin hain bhabhi''

She teased her and riddhima smiled as well red color comes on her cheeks and

Ri:''acha ji roz tumare saath hi hoti hun main madam''

She said and srishti again

Sr:''vahi tou vo tou bhayiya saath meiin hote hain na isliyye''

Ri:''srishti tu na aaj kal bilkul vedant jaise shaitan hoti ja rahi hain''

Riddhima speaks up taking vedant's name and as she thought blush comes on srishti's cheeks then she diverted the topic as

Sr:''acha bhabhi bhayiya kyun nahiin aaj?''

Ri:''he is on leave srishti vo aapni family ke saath aapnein pushtani Kul Devi ke Temple gayya hain srishti''

Sr:''oh acha bhabhi aap chaliye na mere saath cafe''

She again asked as they reach riddhima's cabin but riddhima refused again as such

Ri:''nahiin srishti mujhe na actually ek report check karni hain so ooske bad I'll order my coffee par tum please jao you have half an hour break then you have to report on duty na''

Sr:''you sure bhabhi''

Ri:''yea now go''

And mumbling a quick bye to riddhima srishti finally leaves and riddhima entered in her cabin with smile on her face, how in just short span of time interns becomes the part of their lives, how they respected them how they loved them and in return they becomes their younger siblings and friends. As soon she entered in her cabin and sit on her chair she closed her eyes she is really tired but she has to check the report and she opened her report immediately and go back to work after good half an hour she got free. Then she ordered her coffee and in mean time she opened her drawer and takes out the frame that is having his snap, it was the moment he is looking at something smilingly and she takes his picture without his knowledge and he did not know at all from the time this is with her and he looked so lovable and adorable in this picture that every time she missed him she looked at this picture and his blue oceanic eyes just makes her lose himself and she forgets everything else like she do when she is with him. As she keeps on looking at his picture suddenly her heart goes to the moment that she feels after handling Mr.Shah his daughter

Ri:''mujhe kya ho gayya hain mujhe vahan armaan kyun nazar aa rahein the jaanti hun jab bhi armaan ko miss karti hun mere paas hi hote hain vo humare pyaar ke aks ke rup meiin mere saamne aa jatein hain kabhie meri himmat ban kar tou kabhie mera saya bankar. Par jo maine aaj armaan ko jis rup meiin dekha vo kaise ho sakta hain, abhie tou hum ek bhi nahiin hue hain, tou humara pyaar armaan ki god(lap) meiin main kaise dekh sakti hun. Off course main humara ane vala kal aise hi dekhti hun armaan ke saath par abhie se mujhe iska abhas (feeling) kyun hua jabki abhie tou aisa kuch hain hi nahiin. Abhie tou humein aapnein is pyaar ko duniya ke saamne ek nam bhi dena hain, aur ek doosre ki zidnagi ko jo hum aapna chuke hain ose aur bhi paas laana hain tou yeh khayal mujhe aise bilkul aapnein saamne kaise dikhai diyya jaise abhie kal hi yeh baat poori honein vaali ho, armaan ki nanhi si jaan humari bahon meiin ane vaali ho aisa kyun kya yeh kismat ka koi ishara hain''

She speaks to herself and unknown to herself she feels her cheeks turning red . 

as she again visualized that scene in front of her eyes as armaan holding baby closer to himself their baby and she flushed R:''main nahiin jaanti yeh kaisa ishara tha par yeh tha bahut hi sundar armaan aap kitne ache lagoge  naa humare baby ke saath pata  nahiin kyun yeh ehsaas ho raha hain ki humari baby humare pas ane vala hain (she has a big smile on her face as she adored his face over the frame) pata hain armaan maine na aapko kabhie yeh kaha nahiin par ek secret bataun main yeh chahti hun ki humara baby bilkul aapke jaisa ho aisa hi masoon chehera (she said as she caressed his face over the frame) aur aise hi blue eyes ho bilkul pure han kabhie kabhie natkhat ho jaane vali (she said as she looked in his eyes) aur bilkul aisi hi smile jo sabke dill ko chu le (she said as she caressed his dimples with her eyes) aur bilkul itna pyar karne vala dill jo sabse bilkul pyaar kare (she said as she saw how armaan loved everyone) riddhima tu na pagal ho gayyi ho poori ki poori abhi tou sirf sagai ki bat hui hain aur main abhie se mere aur armaan ke baby ke sapne dekhne lagi hun jab tak shadi hoga tab na jaane kya hoga mera sachi meiin armaan aapnein mujhe apne pyaar mein puri pagal bana diyya hain armaan''

And then she heard that deep husky voice as

A:''kis se batein farma rahi hain aap?''

                            Suddenly she heard that faint voice of crying breaking her trance of her thoughts and she comes back to reality as she saw their princess wailed in her sleep as she now moved her toes out from her blanket and riddhima smiled seeing the sight in front of her eyes as their baby is actually kicking her foot on her dada's stomach that makes riddhima chuckled and then she just puts her toes in her blanket kissing her and

R:''arey mera baby ooth gayya princess buri bat dada ko thode na hit karte hain baby aapko pata hain bacha dada aapse kitna pyaar karte hain (she speaks to her baby girl and the baby looked at her with her blue innocent eyes) yes meri jaan aap aapnein dada ki carbon copy ho aapko pata hain bilkul dada jaise dikhti hain mumma ki jaan aur aapko pata hain aapke dada world ke best dada hain (she speaks as she again kicked her toes and takes out her toes from the blanket) baby this is so not fair aap tou abhi se mumma ko pareshan karne lagi see yeh bhi aapnein dada se inherit kiyya na aapke dada bhi mumma ko aise hi pareshan karte the (then baby gives her angelic smile showing her dimples) very good aur aise hi mumma ko mana bhi lete the aapni isi charming smile se''

She said as she looked at the love of his life lovingly and then she finally tucked her baby in blanket properly and

R:''aab no masti ok''

She said as she kissed her forhead and baby gives her small flushing smile making riddhima's heartbeats increase her smile can make anyone drooled and skipped heartbeats that much innocence she holds in her smile and riddhima looked at armaan then she just as

R:''jaante hain armaan aapki princess ki smile bilkul aapke jaise hain meri heartbeats chura le jaati hain yeh jaise aap le jaate hain mujhe aaj bhi yad hain kaise oos din aap ne meri dhadknon ko badha diyya tha armaan''

                            She goes back to the day when armaan entered in her cabin making her startled and she looked at him as he stood in front of her flashing his dimples and riddhima jumped in joy seeing him and she just ran to him and then hugged him tightly throwing herself in his arms and armaan smiled at her and then he just holds her tightly in his arms embracing her, he so missed her like her and he buried his head in her nape taking fragrance of hers they feels out of world at this moment just being in each other's arms.

They remains in each other's arms savoring each other's presence and after few minutes armaan breaks the hug and then pecked her on her forhead then he just muttered as

A:" I love you jaan pata hain I missed you so very much"

He said making riddhima smile and blush and armaan kissed her fingers as he saw her blushing and riddhima blushed more then he huskily speaks up as

A:"tumne mujhe miss nahiin kiyya jaan?"

He asked and riddhima nodded her head did not uttered a word he very well knows that she missed him like he do her hug when he entered in her cabin say it all but from the time he comes she did not say anything and he is so missing hearing his name from her, so he just as

A:" ahan mujhe tou aisa nahiin lagta jab main  aya bhi tha tab bhi aap kisi se bat kar rahi thi chakkar kya hain hun?"

He asked teasing her and riddhima looked at him as he eyed on her desk and as his gaze fells on the frame he leaves her and

A:" oh tou koi sach meiin hain dekhe tou kaun hain jisne humari jaan ko humein miss nahiin karne diyya han"

As soon he walked towards her desk riddhima wants to stop him as if he saw his own frame he is going to tease her like no tomorrow she start moving towards him but he already grabbed the picture and riddhima closed her eyes feeling all shy getting caught up talking to his picture and armaan first look at the frame in his hands though he knows that it will going to be his picture. But he expected their picture together not his alone that too he never knew when this picture captured. And then he looked at riddhima oh she is looking so damn cute and beautiful at the same time with her eyes closed and face turned red embarrassed every time he looked at her he feels he falls in love with her all over again. Slowly and swiftly holding the frame in his hands he moved towards her and then pulling her closer to himself with his one free hand he kissed her either hands thats covering her eyes and then he just whispered in her ear leaning towards her face

A:" jis se itna pyaar karti ho oos se hi chupana chahti ho jaan"

He said and feeling his breath nibbling on her ear she sighed he did not tease her and as she feels his face closer to her then armaan slowly moved her hands away from her eyes riddhima let him do that. But she did not open her eyes as she is feeling so much shy then armaan speaks

A:" nazrein ootha kar aapnein armaan ko dekhogi bhi nahiin jaan"

And thats it as soon armaan speaks these beautiful words she could not able to control herself and slowly she lifted her eyes up to look at him as soon she opened her eyes her breaths got sharpen as she lose herself in his eyes. 

She feels him making her heartbeats sharpen just his mere gaze makes her heartbeats getting sharpen so much. And then armaan kissed her for head lingering her lips there for sometime and then he whispered slowly near her ear taking his face closer to her that

A:''tum mujhse itna pyaar kyun karti ho jaan ki main jaan hi nahiin paata ki maine aisa kya kiyya hain jo mere pas Meri Riddhima hain''

He said and riddhima smiled and then she opened her eyes and looked at him she just placed pecks on his either eyes making him close his eye lids as she can't let him see his gaze makes her trembled more and more

R:''koi kaaran nahiin hain main nahiin jaanti ki kitna pyaar karti hun aapse bas sirf itna pata hain ki meri sanson meiin sirf aap hain yeh dill poojta hain aapko aur ji nahiin sakti main aapke bina''

She said and then placed her head on his chest and armaan smiled and hugged her in his embrace and then after few minutes armaan is sitting on the couch with riddhima's head on his shoulder and their hands entwined with each other then they heard knock on the door hearing the knock, they separated but armaan did not leaves her hand and as riddhima speaks up

R:''come in''

And soon the door opened and the worker entered from cafe with riddhima's coffee and

W:''mam aapki coffee''

R:''thanks armaan aapke liyye bhi kuch order kar dun kya?''

A:''nahiin riddhima thank you shekher''

Armaan addressed the worker and then thanking him he left and armaan then handled riddhima her coffee as

R:''aap kyun nahiin le rahein armaan you must be hungry na''

A:''nahiin riddhima actually humne lunch kar liya tha raste meiin so par tum aapni coffee peyo na vaise riddhima tum is time par tou kabhie coffee nahiin peti so aaj kya hua''

R:''actually armaan main aapke ane se just kuch der pehle hi free hui thi meri surgeory thi aapko yad hain mere patient Mrs. Shah (armaan nodded as he remembered her telling him about her) aaj oonke ghar do pyaare nanhe se mehman aa gayya ek prince aur ek princess pata hain armaan kitne cute hain small se. Aur na aapko Mr.Shah ko dekhna chahiye tha he is looking so happy jaise aap lag rahein the humari princess ko dekh kar''

She did not know when in her enthusiasm she blurted that little dream and feeling of hers that she feels some hours ago and armaan is shocked beyond limits he did not expected this at all. Not for a nano second he thought she will say something like this and what she meant 'lag rahein the humari princess ko dekh kar'' he immediately makes her look at himself and riddhima is looking everywhere but him and

A:''riddhima kya kaha tumne abhie main lag raha tha humari princess ko dekh kar iska kya matlab hain jaan han?''

As he asked riddhima just gets up from the couch and tried to move away from him, she is avoiding looking at him how she will tell him that she actually saw him holding their baby in his arms when they did not married and did not have any kind of that relationship and seeing her trying to move away from him armaan holds her wrist and makes her sit again beside him and then

A:''riddhima kya chupa rahi ho?''

He asked and then riddhima still not meeting his eyes answered him

R:''main kya chupaungi armaan kuch bhi tou nahiin aap bhi na''

She avoid looking at him and played with her fingers and armaan knows there is something so he puts his finger under her chin making her look at himself then he cocked his eye brow at her as

A:''riddhima''

And as riddhima looked at him she finally speaks up as

R:''armaan actually maine naa''

She fumbled with her words and armaan waited her to continue then he

A:''han riddhima tumne kya''

He asked and riddhima played with his shirt buttons saying to him as

R:''maine na aaj aapko Humari Princess ko aapni bahon meiin liyye hue dekha tha''

She finally blurted out making armaan surprised his eyes got wide hearing her but then finally he grinned ear to ear as she said Their Princess and he

A:''matlab tumne visualize kiyya tha jaan''

Riddhima just nodes her head then shakes her head making him surprise he looked at her and asked

A:''riddhima kya''

R:''visulaise nahiin kiyya tha jab maine Mr. Shah ko oonke babies diyye tou mujhe aap dikhai diyye vahan par baby ke saath''

She replied still not looking at him and armaan is amazed to hear that, she actually saw them as if this is going to happen soon so feeling so blissful with her words he pulled her closer to himself then

A:''iska matlab kya hua riddhima jaanti ho jaan''

Riddhima looked at him then she just feeling all shy she speaks up

R:''I love you''

And armaan speaks up as he reciprocated her feelings but with different words

A:''lets make my princess jaan''

And his words shocked riddhima and she looked at him shocked all written on her face.

Suddenly riddhima heard soft cry and she comes back from her thoughts and she saw armaan is shivering and she immediately moves and covered him in the comforter and then she checked his fever that is gone and he is looking so peacefully sleeping holding their baby in his arms. Yes armaan is holding her closer to his heart as she don't knows when they moved closer and now they are snuggling with each other that brings happy tears in riddhima's eyes.
