PART 11

At Dinner Table Gupta house

"Mom , dad main do din ke liye Kasauli ja rahi hoon.."

"Kasauli..?" "Haan mom.. vo Atul, Armaan, Ridzie, Rahul, Muski, Arav.. hum sab jaa rahe hain.. just for a small outing.. " Anjie explained..

"Beta lekin Kasauli kyun..?" shashank wanted all the detail..

"Actually dad vahan Armaan ki godmother rehti hain.. So Armaan, Ridzie nd Muski wanted to meet her.. aur mom apko pata hai ridzie told me ki jab vo log mumai chodke Kasauli gaye to Ridzie ki delivery tak unhone Ridzie ka bohot dhyaan rakha.."

"What'? Do mahine Ridhhima India mein hi thhi.. aur vo bhi Kasauli mein..?" Shashank was shocked. He should have known that a pregnant lady will not travel abroad.. "Anjali I don'think you should go.." he said calmly as he didn'twant to loose his second daughter with his anger nd impulsive sentences..

"Noways dad.. main haan bol chuki hoon.. they're my friends nd collegues too.. I can't back out now.." She left for her room to pack her stuff..

 

Next Morning

Atul rang Gupta's door bell coz noone else was willing to face Shashank early in the morning.. so he took Arav nd went to call Anjali..

"Arre Atul aao beta.." 
 "Nai aunty mai bas Anjali ko inform karne aaya thha ki we'll be waiting for her outside in an hour.."  As Atul turned to go Padma requested him to leave Arav with her for sumtime, he found nothing bad in it as far as Arav was smiling in Padma's arms..

Arav was playing around in Gupta house when all of a sudden he realised that AR, RM or Atul weren't around nd started crying..

 

While at the same time in Mallik house..

"Atul.. tu pagal hogaya hai.. tu Arav ko vahan kyun chod aaya..?" Armaan questioned him  "Yaar aunty ne mujhse request ki to main.. aur waise bhi tumne Anjie aur Padma aunty ko to maaf  kar diya na.."

"Haan kar diya.. Anjie is my friend nd Padma aunty meri maa ki tarah hain..lekin uss ghar mein Dr.Shashank Gupta bhi rehte hain.. aur main unhe kabhi maaf nai kar sakta.. jo aadmi apni pregnant beti ko itna rula sakta hai vo pata nai mere bete ko kya.. Mujhe kuch nai pata Atul iske pehle ki Ridhhima ready hoke neeche aaye I want Arav here.. "  Armaan was now angry.. nd as he turned to go to Gupta house himself he found Padma standing at the door listening to everything.. he stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw Padma there nd Arav was sobbing.. He quickly took hold of Arav nd calmed him down "bas beta.. (rubbing Arav's back)..chup.. papa haina aapke paas.." nd with in a few minutes Arav was smiling nd playing..

"Beta mujhe pata thha tumhe chinta hogi aur atul ke jaate hi Arav rone laga iss liye main khud hi.." Padma tried to explain "nai maa.. mujhe aapse koi problem nai hai.. aapka Arav pe pura hak hai..lekin main Dr.Gupta ko kabhi maaf nai kar paunga.."

Just as Padma left,  Ridhhima came downstairs ready in a Dark blue Linen Capri nd a white Linen top.. she picked up Arav nd gave him a soft kiss on his forehead while he returned it on her cheek..

"Kya hua guys.. Armaan abhi thodi der pehle tum kyun chilla rahe thhe.."

"uh..umm..kuch nai bhabhi..vo bas hum sab Arav ke saath khel rahe thhe.." Rahul lied coz he didn't want any argument on this trip'

"oh..okk..accha ab chliye sab breakfast karne then we have to go.."

soon they all had their breakfats nd boarded the bus.. although they were only 6 adults they booked a 14 seater luxury bus.. they were waiting for anjie when Padma , Shashank nd anjie came out.. Anjie gave a hug to both of them while Padma even hugged AR nd Arav nd bid them 'safe journey'..

They boarded the bus with their luggage nd some eatables for the journey.. At first they sat randomly sang songs had a few past discussions nd when they were tiered they sat with their respective pairs.. RM in the front on the right.. AA in the mid on the left nd AR were at the last seat as Arav was lying down in the seat with his head in Ridhhima's lap nd AR were sleeping with their arms entangled, Ridhhima's head on armaan's shoulder nd Armaan's head on her head.. Don't know for how long all the couples slept but as the driver stopped for a break, he woke up RM nd asked them to freshen up.. They moved to wake up AA nd as they saw AR nd Arav in Ridhhima's lap they were smiling..

"Perfect picture of a complete happy family.." Atul said..

"Yeah.. Lets click their picture na.. they look so cute.." Anjie's mind clicked

Rahul took out his camera nd capture the moment since there was enough day light nd his advanced, expensive camera didn't make any sound AR weren't disturbed at all..

After a journey of about 8-10 hours they were at their destination.. AR nd Arav were now wide awake as they were not disturbed  before.. Arav was playing with his fav. toy car as he was not allowed to roam about in the moving bus by Ridhhima..While AR were recollecting their  lovely moments they've spent in Kasauli..

 

At Shehnaaz Bi's Caf

"Bi vo bahar kuch log aye hain keh rahe hain coffee tabhi order karenge agar aap bhi unke saath piyengi.." waiter informed Bi.. Yeah those were AR nd gang nd it was a surprise as Bi didn't knew they were coming..

As she came out of her cabin her cabin she found a toddler touching her feet..
She was overwhelmed.. "khush raho beta.. Tumhare mama-papa kahan hain..?"

As Arav tok her to the table she was shocked to say anything she then realised that he was Arav her Ammy's son.. "Ammy yeh Arav hai.. kitna bada ho gaya hai..bilkul Ridhhima pe gaya hai.." "Bi hum bhi hain yahan.."Muski said nd hugged Bi..

So they all greeted n chatted for long then they left to rest as it was already evening by then.. It was a big bunglow right next to Bi's caf..

"guys hum yahan raheinge.. safai bhi hogayi hai rooms ki..mera aur Ridhhima ka room upar hai coz it has a room attached to it so Arav will be fine there.. Rahul tera aur Muski ka room left mein hai..aur Atul aur Anjie tum dono ke rooms yeh hain right mein.."Armaan explained everything  "Okk guys so milte hain ek break ke baad.." Rahul said heading towards his room..

After changing everyone was relaxing nd streching their backs which were now stiff due to the journey but Anjie was miles away from any relaxation..

While unpacking her stuff she found Armaan's Diary in the cupboard.. Since they were here for two months before going to London they must've been in this room then..

She debated for a few minutes then decided to read it.. Its first few pages had writing with blue pen nd everything was written only about his mother.. how much he love her, how she cared or him.. It was not his regular journal, everyday that was special had an entry in his diary..

He has written in it about his Mom being sick nd then last Blue pen entry was :
'Mom left me today forever..She wanted me to be a doctor so that anyother Armaan doesn't lose his Mother due to Brain Tumour.. I Promise Mom I'll drop my aim to be singer nd study hard for medical.. LOVE YOU MOM.. Aaj ke baad yeh Diary tabhi likhunga jab kisi se aapke jitna pyar karunga.. nd I don't think ke aisa kabhi hoga..I'LL MISS YOU..Don't worry I'll guide Rahul how to get better in his singing sessions too..'

Anjie was in tears too she hardly remembered Smriti's demise yet she always smile when she recalls how much Smriti loved her..

She flipped on a few pages nd found the date of their internship days of mid september 2007:

'DR. RIDHHIMA SHASHANK GUPTA.. Mom ke sapne ke liye medical padi lekin apne passions kabhi nai chode..Kick Boxing..Biking..Singing.. sab kiya..kitni hi ladkiyon se mila lekin aaj tak aisi ladki nai dekhi maine jo mujhe palat ke na dekhe.. Jungle mein jaane ka Dare usse diya thha par jab vo vapas nai aayi to laga ki meri Jaan ja rahi hai.. I'M IN LOVE.. vo bilkul aapki tarah hai maa.. sabse pyaar karti hai aur jab gussa hoti hai uski badi badi aankhien aur bhi badi ho jaati hain.. sach mein pata nahi chal raha ki usse kaise apne pyar ka yakeen dilaun BUT today her own sister asked me to make her fall her in Love with me AS A BET.. well it seems like a way for me par wo kaisi behan hai apni hi behen ka dil todna chahti hai..'

Anjie was now a bit guilty reading the last line even she thought what was she actually upto..

She then again flipped a few pages now she found a date of November 2007 starting:
'Aaj main aur Ridhhima pehli baar saath Lonavla gaye.. pyar to vo bhi karti hai par kehti nahi kabhi.. Mom aap to god ke paas hona plz request him to make her confess soon.. Uske sath aaj dance kiya aur pehli baar kisi ladki ke liye gana bhi gayamaine..'

 
Next she found the page of 7^th jan2008:
'Yes..Yes'!..Finally itne intzaar ke baad.. voh mera dukh nahi dekh paayi.. aaj usne mujhse keh hi diya ki kitna pyaar karti hai mujhse..I LOVE YOU.. though it was a whisper but how can  i miss that.. Sach maa aaj mere paas firse koi hai jise main aapke jitna pyaar karta hoon aur vo bhi mujhe utna hi pyaar karti hai..lekin pata nahi kyun abhi sbko nahi batana chahti..but I don't care mujhe sirf uska pyar aur uska saath chahiye..'

 

Anjie was shocked beyond her wits.. yeh dono tabse saath hain au batay bhi nai kisi ko.. Her baby sister was in Love just at the beginning of her internship nd yeh never let her feelings show..

Then she found a page which was decorated with AR's name nd their picture..24^th Jan2008 :
'aaj pehli baar  maine usse chua.. ek ajeebsi chahat thhi uski aankhon mein bhi.. Hospital mein zaraa sa mazaak kar diya ki mujhe Short skirts wali ladkiyaan pasand hain to madam khud bhi try karne lagi.. but yes She was looking drop dead gorgeous in that Black Dress..I LOVE HER SO MUCH..I just hope ki vo mujhe ajj raat ke liye galat na samjhe..'

 

28^th Jan 2008:

'mom aaj maine Sapna ki shaadi mein usse aapka PUSHTAINI KADA diya.. vo mere paas aapki aakhri nishaani thhi par main jaanta hoon ki vo uss kangan ko apni jaan se bhi zyada sambhaal ke rakhegi.. MERI BASKET.. AAPKI BAHU.. MRS. RIDHHIMA ARMAAN MALLIK.. wao..this sounds so complete.. MERI RIDHHIMA.. ek akeli aisi ladki jise mere sirname se nahi mujhse pyar hai.. Usse to pata bhi nai ki Singing Sensation Rahul Mallik mera bhai hai aur The Famous Business Tycoon Mr. Jai Malik mere dad.. still she loves me with all her heart..I LOVE YOU MISS RIDHHIMA GUPTA..or should I say future  MRS. RIDHHIMA ARMAAN MALLIK..'

She then recalled the incident next day at the breakfast table when nani asked her about the kada.. for a moment he was shocked as if cuaght red-handed.. nd then the incident at saneevni when Muskaan asked about the Kada Armaan quickly replied instead of ridhhima..

She then turned almost 20-25 pages ahead (here there was no breakup due to muski co in this FF she is Armaan's best friend nd has no family.. so no patiala scene..) The next entry was of much after their wedding..

'I'm so HAPPY today.. main DADDY banne wala hoon.. Yuppppiieeee' I have everything I want to be happy today.. lifes perfect now.. Ridhhima ne mujhe yeh Realise karvaya that dad was right in bounding my allowences nd stuff coz I was getting on the wrong track.. She even chatted with dad so freely nd he was so shocked ki meri choice itni Simple hogi.. even when he visited us last week I didn't tell her ki vo Business Tycoon Mr. Jai Mallik hain.. main nahi chahta ki mera status humare beech aaye.. jab tak main Armaan Mallik banke khush reh sakta hoon tab tak main apna intro Jai Mallik ke bete ke roop mein nahi karna chahta..Mom kehti thhi ki although dad ka business humara hi hai but still we should become independent..'

This was now that Anjie realised ki Armaan ne Sanjeevni se jaate hue apne dad ki power aur position ko use kyun nai kiya.. She couldn'tread any further nd shut the Diary.. 'Armaan is so different from what he portrays.. kitna pyaar karta hai vo Ridzie se.. I'm so thankfull to God ki Meri Simple nd Sweet Baby Sister ne himmat karke Armaan se shaadi ki.. He Loves her truly.. KAASH MAIN YEH DIARY DAD KO PADHA SAKTI..'

She cried whole night thanking God a millionth time for giving her sister so much love..nd begged to re-unite her family again.. She wanted her Father, Sister nd Armaan to give-up all the grudges.. she even skipped her dinner saying she was sleeping nd finally slept after mid-night deciding that she'll return the Diary next morning..
