RECAP: AR'S WEDDING.. RIDHHIMA DISCOVERNG ABOUT RYAN.. AR DECIDE TO ADJUST IN FRONT OF THEIR FAMILY.. MALLIKS GING OFF TO PANCHGANI..

Part 4 [PMs at night]

With in a few hours everyone reched the Haveli..
Sensing the arrival Tara came out with some more people who lived there with their family as caretaker of the Haveli.. Ridhhima stepped out the car with Ryan in her arms.. he was awake now nd was scanning Ridhhima.. on realising a little movements of Ryan's hands on her shoulder Ridhhima tried avoiding it..

 Tara On the otherhand was delighted to see Ryan in Ridhhima's arms nd not with Armaan.. Ridhhima quickly handed Ryan to Tara.. Armaan also stepped out of the car when he was sure Ridhhima was not looking at him.. nd as soon as Ridhhima turned to him he pretended to yawn nd stretch himself nd acted surprised looking at Ryan with Tara..

Ridhhima dropped the thought nd looked at the beautiful nd huge haveli in front of her.. such huge gardens nd it really seemed old due to its construction..

She was amazed to see the authenticity the building had in it.. the rooms were also huge with huge Royal beds.. As one of the servants brought her, Armaan nd Ryan's luggage to that room she was surprised thinking she would actually be staying here..

The veiw from the colossal balcony was captivating to her.. large portion of land were covered with greenery nd Sunset was visible too..

Tiered from almost all day's travelling she decided to change nd have a small nap.. While Armaan was thinking of something to get Ridhhima close to Ryan..

Ridhhima changed into a white suit nd informed Tara that she would be resting for a while as she was not able to sleep even for a minute..

It was 6 in the evening when she woke up.. she felt slight movements in her hair..

She frowned nd shifted abit.. afew minutes later she opened her eyes to see Ryan sitting by her side nd playing with her hair.. for a minute she kept looking at him as he played to himself but coming back to the world she quickly sat up.. Ryan looked at his hands nd realised the toy he had been playing with has suddenly vanished..

He looked at Ridhhima making a confused face nd extended his tiny hands towards her hair as if asking her to give them back in his hands.. When Ridhhima didn't react nd was thinking of some way to distance herself before he comes close to her, just then Ryan crawled closer nd kept his head in her lap..

She looked around to see if anyone was there for help but no luck.. She lightly patted Ryan but stopped as soon as she noticed Armaan smiling at the door.. She kept Ryan's head at the pillow which woke him up too..

Armaan came forward nd picked up Ryan as he knew Ryan just wanted some attention as it wasn't time for his nap yet.. When Armaan left the room smiling to himself, Ridhhima realised he had deliberately kept Ryan besides her when she was sleeping.. she felt her anger building.. "Why was he playing such game, even after promising not to force me into it.." she thought..

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Around an hour later she went to walk around the huge palace sort of building she was living in.. she moved around nd many times came back to the same place before she realised she was moving in circles.. Moving to outer wing she noticed a beautiful nd big temple which seemed to be very well taken care of.. A deep Well was also there to wash hands nd feet before entering the temple..

She covered her head with her dupatta nd washed her hands nd feet to step into the temple.. she sat on her knees infront of the Idol that was placed there.. a lone tear escaped her eyes when she rewinded all that happened in her life till date..

Her parents' Mysterious Death.. Hatred she had seen in eyes of her uncle nd Aunty, whom she called her Badi Ma nd Bade Papa.. her trick marriage with Armaan.. nd now Armaan playing games with her using Ryan..

She mentally smacked herself for the last reason.. "Armaan apna vada nai todenge.. ho sakta hai ki Ryan ko mere paas koi aur chod gaya ho.. aur Armaan sirf iss liye muskura rahe hoon kyunki unhone mujhe Ryan ke kareeb dekha.." she thought to herself nd wiped the tear before anyone could see her crying there..

She got up nd moved out of the temple with a small piece of sweet in her hand which the priest gave it to her as prasad.. She then came across a darker portion.. she was very afraid of darkness especially when she is alone.. she turned to go the other way but stopped when she heard some muffled cries.. she gulped nd went in the direction she heard it from.. she crossed a door to the room nd entered in.. moving around for almost an hour she now had an idea that the switches in all rooms were on her right hand side so she quickly turned on the lights.. she half expected to see who it was..

She saw Ryan sitting under a table with his chin trembling nd tears flowing from his eyes.. he was crawling freely nd got lost in the huge place.. Ridhhima quickly took hold of him while he wailed as he felt someone close to him.. for the moment she let him hug her as she felt him shaking with fear.. she calmed him down, rocking him in her lap.. finally when his tears stopped she put some piece of sweet she got from temple in his mouth for him to taste.. she knew best way to take away a kid's fear is to distract him..

She looked at Ryan's baby face.. Frowing-Tasting-Smiling..

She smiled looking at him.. he forgot where he was nd got hold of Ridhhima's hair from her shoulder nd opened his mouth for Ridhhima to put in some more sweet.. "aaahh.. aauuull.."

She held her palm in front of him with the piece of sweet in front of him nd picked him up in her other arm.. She felt her anger at the boiling point now.. She somewhere understood what Ryan might have gone through stuck here in the dark all alone.. She shuddered when she recollected how Padma used to lock her in the bathroom whenever Anjali wasn't around..

Ryan was in his own World.. he was busy taking small bites from the sweet he had in his hands which were now full of saliva nd were sticky.. Ridhhima took Ryan to the room as she expected Armaan to be there..

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Armaan looked up from his laptop to see Ridhhima carrying a happy nd busy Ryan in her arms.. He frowned when Ridhhima came nd kept Ryan besides Armaan angrily.. "Ridhhima.. kya hua..?" he manage to asked..

"Kya hua.. yeh aap pooch rahe hain.. Armaan agar yeh ek aur plan thha Ryan ko mere paas akela chodne ka to I must say, Yeh ek bohot hi ghatiya plan thha.." She said in an angry voice..

"Ridhhima.. I'm not getting it.. tum plz seedhe seedhe bologi.." Armaan said..

"Aapko main bewakoof lagti hoon Armaan.. aap jaan kar Ryan ko yahan chod kar gaye jab main so rahi thhi.. aur jab uss waqt maine Ryan ke sir par haath rakh diya to aapko laga ki aapko rasta mill gaya mujh tak pohochne ka.. Aap Ryan ko vahan Andhere mein chod kar aaye.." she said in a disgusting tone, thinking Armaan had planned this to get Ryan closer to her..

"Kya..? andhere mein..? manaa ki maine Ryan ko tumhare paas choda jab tum so rahi thhi.. lekin main apne bete se bohot pyar karta hoon Ridhhima.. aur main usse andhere mein kyun chodunga..? vo darta hai andhere se.." he said defending himself nd in a challenging tone..

"to yeh hai aapka pyar, ki Ryan vahan Haveli ke andhere kamre mein akela pohoch gaya aur aapko pata bhi nai.. agar main uss taraf jaati hi nai to shayad vo aur der vahan rota rehta.. ek pita hone ka bohot achha farz nibha rahe hain aap.." Ridhhima said the last bit which made Armaan all the more angry.. she was accusing him of neglecting His Son..

"Enough now.. main tum par bilkul chilana nai chahta.. Ridhhima please leave me alone for sometime.."Armaan said turning his face away from Ridhhima..

They were oblivious of the fact that Tara has witnessed the part when Ridhhima accused Armaan for neglecting Ryan nd Armaan asked her to leave him alone..
She saw Ridhhima coming out of the room.. she was still angry.. she straightened her expressions when she saw Tara..

Tara smiled back at her nd said "jhooti muskurahat aankhon tak nai pohochti beta.. main tumhari Ma ki tarah hoon.. aur philhaal yeh Ma tumhe sirf yahi kahegi ki abhi tumne Armaan par Ryan ko neglect karne ka jo ilzaam lagaya vo galat hai.."

Ridhhima was embarressed realising the fact that Tara has witnessed their conversation.. but she was glad that Tara didn't hear the rest part of it..

"Sorry Ma.. lekin jab maine Ryan ko itni buri tarah rote dekha to mujhe bohot gussa aya.. mujhe khud bhi andhere se bohot darr lagta hai.." Ridhhima said bowing her head down..

"tumhari abhi nayi-nayi shaadi hui hai beta.. main samajhti hoon ki tumhe adjust karne main time lagega.. aur mujhe tumse koi shikayat nai hai.. tumhe sirf apne pati ke parivaar ko hi nai balki uske bete ko bhi sambhalna hai.. main tumhe sirf yehi keh sakti hoon ki Armaan kabhi bhi Ryan ko neglect nai kar sakta.. galti se bhi nai.." Tara left saying this leaving Ridhhima in deep thoughts.. she was regretting whatever she has said to him out of anger.. 

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Almost an hour later Ridhhima muttered some courage nd went to her room.. she found Armaan nd Ryan nowhere in sight.. she looked at balcony's door open nd assumed Armaan to be there..

She walked to the balcony.. It was raining.. She saw him standing there with Ryan in his arms nd playing him under the shed.. Armaan's hand extending outside the shed nd letting rain drops wetting it.. Armaan saw Ryan trying to reach the rain aswell but he wasn't able to do so.. Armaan smiled at Ryan nd brought his cupped palm full of water closer to Ryan.. Ryan gladly dipped his tiny palm into it nd traced Armaan's face wet with it..

Armaan gave his dimpled smile nd kissed Ryan's hand.. Ryan again bent forward to reach the rain but this time he succeded as Armaan stepped forward so that Ryan could play with the rain as well.. He felt abliss when he heard Ryan giggling nd laughing, playing with the rain.. He gently kissed Ryan's temple nd kept playing with him..

While On the otherhand.. Ridhhima who was watching the loving duo felt even more guilty of what she said.. She really wanted apologise for her words nd tell him what made her say all that..

She gathered all her courage nd called him softly.. "Armaan.."

Realising her presence Armaan looked at her with hurt expressions.. as if saying 'aur koi ilzaam lagana reh gaya hai kya..' she came nd stood afew steps away from him nd in a low voice said "I'm sorry.. maine aapko dukh pohochaya.. mera vo matlab.. I mean.. main vo sab.. main vo sab nai kehna chahti thhi.. lekin.."

"lekin.. lekin kya..? tumhara mann kiya issliye tumne bol diya haina.." he said in a disappointed tone.. that was when she decided to tell him the real reason..

"nai Armaan.. mujhe gussa issliye aaya kyunki main bhi adhere mein akele hone se bohot darti hoon.. jab Ryan ko vahan rote dekha to laga jaise apne aap ko dekh rahi hoon.. jab Di ghar par nai hoti thhi aur Badi Ma ko mujhpe gussa ataa thha to vo mujhe bathroom mein band kar deti thhi.. unn palon mein maine rote hue kitni baar Ma-Papa ko yaad kiya hai.. bina Ma-Papa ke jeena kya hota hai aap nai soch sakte.. Ryan ki Ma to ab uske paas nai hai.. aur jab aap bhi uske paas nai thhe to mujhe bohot gussa aya.. main aapko kuch bura nai kehna chati thhi sachhi mein.. phir bhi.. agar maine aapko hurt kiya ho to I'm Sorry.."

Armaan couldn't help but melt at her honest apology.. he Understood the fact that she was lonely.. nd was hell determined to make her happy again.. He looked at her glum expressions nd thought "Itne pyar se maafi mangogi to main kaise mana karunga.. Mujhe thoda bura laga jab tumne vo sab kaha.. par kahin na kahin Ryan ke liye tumhare dil mein vo apnapan dekh kar bohot khushi hui.."

He came out of thoughts when she said "aap mujhe maaf nai karenge..? jaanti hoon ki galti bohot badi hai.. lekin jaan kar nai kiya na maine.. plz I'm Sorry.." she said in an innocent tone to which he smiled nd said "Maine tumhe maaf kiya Ridhhima.. main janta hoon ki tumne jaan kar mera dil nai dukhaya.."

She smiled at him very genuinely but got surprised as he said "Main puri duniya se lad sakta hoon Ridhhima par tumse nai.. agar kabhi koi shaq mann mein ho to ilzaam lagane ki jagah mujhse baat karke pooch lena.. tumhari nazroon mein girna mujhe gavara nai hoga.." He left with Ryan, leaving her in deep thoughts..

She knew what he meant.. but was still confused.. "Do din ke rishtey mein hi unnke liye meri soch itni mayene rakhti hai.. maine unke bete ko nai apnaya.. yahan tak ki unhe apne pati hone ka haq bhi nai diya.. phir bhi vo mere baare mein itna sochte hain.. vo bure insaan nai hain.."

As soon as she realised what she was thinking she mentally smacked herself.. "Kya soch rahi hoon main.. ab main koi naya rishta nai bana sakti.. agar ab mujhe koi dhoka ya akelapan mila to main nai seh paungi.. jab tak mujhe yeh yakeen nai hota ki Armaan ka aur mera rishta mujhe ab koi dard nai dega, main unhe apne dil mein jagah nai dungi.."

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Since AR were staying with their family so after dinner they obidiently left for their room.. Ridhhima had fun having dinner in royal style.. Huge table laid in the dinning room with big chairs where sat The Mallik family.. delicious food laid on it smelling really good.. Everything was prepared with desi recepies with loads of nd loads of ghee nd spices nd fresh vegetables from the farms..

AR's Room

When they changed to go to sleep after along day it was then that they realised that the room had No couches or sofas for Armaan to sleep nd Ryan's cot.. The three have to share the bed now.. Ridhhima was abit apprehensive at first but she realxed when she saw Armaan putting Ryan in the middle of the bed nd laying down on one of his sides pulling Ryan closer to himself..

Ridhhima also laid down nd stare at the ceiling till she was in deep slumber.. In the middle of the night Ridhhima woke as she felt hot.. Though the weather was fine coz of rain still she was sweating.. She finally switched on the lights nd looked around to find Ryan snuggled closer to her nd sleeping very sweetly holding the edge of her saree.. She looked up to find Armaan also sleeping peacefully with his face in the opposite direction..

She carefully shifted Ryan abit nd stretched on the bed yet again.. this time she kept looking at Ryan's innocent face till she was asleep, yet all the while refrained herself from patting or comforting sleeping baby..

 
Next morning they had The sacred ceremonies at the temple.. Armaan woke up early as Tara had instructed him.. he looked at Ridhhima nd was surprised to see Ryan sitting wide awake playing with Ridhhima's hair.. Armaan smiled at his little son who seemd to be in love with Ridhhima's hair.. Armaan shifted to Ryan nd took him into a light hug kissing him, whispering "Good Morning My baby.."

Ryan smiled looking at his father nd again got back passing his tiny fingers through Ridhhima's long hair nd putting them on his face feeling them sliding down his face.. Armaan frowned nd tried to take Ryan away so that Ridhhima doesn't get upset early in the morning but Ryan was adamant..

Ridhhima woke up by some muffled whispers going around.. She didn't open her eyes nd tried to concentrate what was going around.. when she felt a light tug at her hair she turned abit to face Ryan nd Armaan still pretended to sleep.. Armaan whispered to Ryan "Arre baba ab chod bhi do.. beta vo uthh gayi to bohot gussa hogi.. uske baal matt kheechna bas.. aapko pata nai iska gussa kitna tez hai.. kal kitni buri tarah danta thha mujhe.."

Ridhhima felt like smiling at Armaan's statement but didn't react while Armaan tried taking Ridhhima's hair out or Ryan's hands but in return Ryan retorted nd groogled angrily "uuhh.. nii.. mela ai.."
"Ryan beta baal chodo.. aap papa ki baat maate ho na baby.." Armaan tried again calmly but No Effect on Ryan.. Just as he was about to pick Ryan up nd carry hm away Ridhhima opened her eyes.. Ryan stopped for a second looking at her but getting no reaction from her he bent forward nd kissed her hand wetting it abit..

Armaan thoguth Ridhhima would get upset or get angry infront of him with Ryan's closeness but to his surprises she gave Ryan half smile nd went to get fresh.. "Yeh kya thha.. aaj Ridhhima ko nai balki Ryan ko gussa aaya.. strange but nice.. Ridhhima kitna bhi distant behave karle vo kabhi Ryan se insaaniyat ka rishta nai todegi.. nd I have the advantage.. I know she is very fond of kids.. nd I know she has No idea ki mujhe yeh baat pata hai.. ab dekhna yeh hai ki Ridhhima pehle Ryan ko apnakar phir mujhe pyar karegi ya usse mujhse pyar hoga issliye vo Ryan ko apnayegi.. **sighed** kitna achha ho na agar main aur Ryan uski zindagi mein apni jagah khud banaye.."
