PART 12 

Whole night Anjie tried to sleep but in vain.. All her father's nd her accusation were ringing in her ear.. how they blamed Armaan for destroying their family nd Ridhhima for betraying their trust.. she kept tossing nd turning for an hour or so but then she decided to read more of it.. she quickly grabbed the diary again from under her pillow nd sat on the bed resting her back on the bed rest.. She flipped pages aimlessly nd found the page saying "WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT..?" It caught her eyes nd she started reading:

 

'aaj Ridhhima ke ghar mein sab pata chal gaya.. Dr. Shashank ne humein terrace pe dekh liya.. I know padma aunty will be fine with it..lekin Dr.Gupta..?I'm scared.. what if she decides to sacrifice our love for her family..?I'LL DIE WITHOUT HER.. I SWEAR I'LL DIE..Ridhhima is my love, my life.. as per our plannings main kal uske ghar jaunga uska haath mangne.. I know yeh  kaam Dad ka hai lekin mein chahta hoon ki vo log Ridhhima ki shaadi Dr.Armaan Mallik se karein, Business tycoon Mr. Jai Mallik ke bete se nahi..'

 

After reading this anjie was more nd more guilty of her words.. she had no words left now to discribe her feelings.. she at a certain point felt disgust for herself.. Yet with a heavy heart she turned to the next page nd it said: 'I'M ALIVE…'

 

'Main Ridhhima ko apne saath le ayaa.. Uske dad nai maane nd even anjie was unsure.. Aaj pehli baar aisa laga ki Anjie bhale hi mujhe apna dost kehti hai lekin kabhi vo mujhe samajh nai paayi.. She thinks I'm playing with Ridhhima's emotions..! THE ONLY GIRL in my life jise main apni jaan se bhi zyada pyaar karta hoon, main uska dil kaise tod sakta hoon.. why can't ppl understand.. Ek pal ke liya to laga thha ki maine usse kho diya.. Uske papa ne usse mujh mein se ya uski family mein se kisi ek ko choose karne ko kaha.. She was quiet nd her silence was killing me.. nd finally when i thought that she has chosen her family I turned to move away from her , from her life forever she said APNI JAAN KO YAHAN AKELA CHOD KE MATT JAO ARMAAN.. she came running to my arms nd I was Alive again.. Iss baar vo inn bahon mein humesha ke liya aayi thhi coz next week we are getting married to-be-RIDHHIMARMAAN MALLIK FOREVER..'

 

Anjie now understood the secret behind Ridhhima's ultimate strength nd patience even in the most testing period of her nd Armaan's relationship.. It was THEIR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE nd FAITH..

'koi sach mein kisi se itna pyar kar sakta hai.. yakeen nai hota..!' Anjie thought..

 

She now flipped to the last page nd started reading:

' I'm a PROUD FATHER today.. Ridhhima gave birth to a baby boy.. WE are on cloud9.. she always wanted to have a baby boy as they say -boys are the apple of their mom's eyes.. After a long blushing session of hers (she looked so cute blushing)she promised to give me my princess next time.. Ridhhima ne baby ka naam ARAV rakha hai.. waise humne beti ke liye bhi naam socha thha.. Ridhhima ne decide kiya thha ki if we ever have a Daughter we'll call her SMRITI.. yeh uski mom ka naam thha, jinhone  usse ek nai zindagi di thhi.. She always used to say ki Di Papa ko apna idol maanti hain lekin main humesha Smriti Mom ki tarah hi banna chahti hoon..

Kitna achha lagega na jab Arav se koi poochega ki tumhaare mom – dad ka kya naam hai..? to vo apni babyish language mein kahega : "Mele mamma papa ka naam, Lidhhima aul Almaan Mallit hai.."

I promise to give him the world.. I won't spoil him although but I won't even leave his any wish incomplete.. Uske sapne main aur Ridhhima milke poore karenge taaki agar kabhi humein se koi galti kare to dusra usse rokle..

Ek aur gud news.. DAD IS COMING TOMORROW WITH RAHUL.. gosh.. main Rahul se 5 saal baad milunga.. aur fir humsab London chale jayenge, Dr. Shashank Gupta ke influence se bohot dur.. Unhone jitna rulaya hai na meri jaan ko main usse kai zyada khushiyaan dunga usse.. I LOVE YOU RIDHHIMA..I can keep saying this whole life long without any irritation coz I REALLY LOVE HER..'

 

This was the last page of the diary coz probably after this they've shifted to London nd the diary was left here..

After the whole night of self realisation as the clock struck 7 first thing anjie did was to move to AR's room.. Ridhhima opened the door nd observed Anjie.. she had a tiered look, eyes were swollen nd blood shot red nd she was sobbing.. as she saw Armaan also coming towards the door she hugged him nd cried louder..She kept saying SORRY in between her sobs while AR were completely shocked seeing Anjie in this state.. They calmed her down nd when her sobs subsided she confronted..

"I'm so sorry guys..I'm so sorry.. maine tum dono se especially Armaan tumse jo bhi galat baat kahi thhi I'm Sorry.."

"Di…Di..(she hugged Anjie tightly) Di..calm down.. Di kya hua why are you saying sorry..? aur aap itna ro kyun rahi hain..?" Ridhhima asked timidly.. Armaan got a glass of water nd waited for her to calm down..

"Ab bolo Anjie kya hua…?" 

"Armaan I'm sorry.. maine humesha tumhare pyar ko jhoota samjha thha lekin kal mujhe apne room ki cupboard mein yah Diary mili (she gave him the diary) tab mujhe pata chala ki tum ridzie se kitna pyar karte ho nd why does Ridzie always keep saying ki Armaan jitna dikhata hai vo usse kahi zyada achha hai.."

Although Ridhhima was confused , Armaan was  confused-shocked-happy…

"anjie.. Its okk…nd you know tumne kya kiya hai..?" as she looked up at him he hugged her excitedly "Thanx yar..I've looking for this Diary for like ages yar nd now I realise ki main isse yahin bhool gaya thha" he then turned to Ridhhima "Ridhhima main tumhein mom ke baare main bata thha na.. well this diary has it all.. main tumhein yahi padhana chahta thha..This diary has an account of my special days with the two most special people of my life.. Mom nd You, my love.."

"Di.. everything is fine amogst us now.. aap lagta hai puri raat nai soyi..plz thodi der rest kar lijiye hum jab sight seeing jayenge tab aapko utha lenge.." 

"yah..thanx guys nd I'm so…." She was cut in between "no more sorries now Anjie..off to your room now.."

She gave them a small smile nd said "yes boss.."

** guys I've not been to kasauli ever so the discription of the places is hypothetical.. but names of the places are original nd existing..**

 

"So guys aaj kahan chalna hai..?" Rahul asked as they moved out of the house in the car hiered..

"Umm..Monkey Point chalein.." Ridhhima said..

"monkey point…? Yeh kahan hai aur whats so special about the place.." Atul enquired

"Atul yeh yahan se 30 mins ke distance pe ek hill hai..Its famous for its small temple nd incredible sight.. vahan se arial view hai puri city ka aur ek River ka bhi.." Armaan explained.. "aur Ridhhma ko vahan iss liye jana hai coz it was practically the first place jahan hum mumbai chodne ke baad ghumne gaye thhe nd even Ridhhima was SMILING.." At this explaination Ridhhima smiled with a pride in her eyes nd others were smiling too.... "lekin aisa kya hua thha vahan..?" Muskaan asked in a naughty tone...

Armaan grumbled back "oye sharam kar..its just that ki maine vahan Ridhhima ke liye sabke saamne gana gaya thha.."  "Oh-ho..To its done then aaj bhi tu gaye ga.."

"haan Armaan please..tum gaoge na.." Ridhhima asked sweetly ."haye..aap kahein to main to vahan se jump bhi kar sakta hoon gane ki kya baat hai.." ..he said bending abit towards her nd a very romantic nd a flirty way while rest of the gang wolf whistled nd Ridhhima was red with blush nd armaan was smiling.. "Stop it guys..abe Rahul to bhi Muski ke saath romance kar na humein kyun Disturb ar raha hai.."Armaan said defencively..at this anjie retorted " nd what about me nd Atul..? guys we are here to have fun okk tum log romance karoge to hum kya karenge..?"

Armaan smiled sheepishly nd said "bas itni si problem.. tum dono bhi romance kar lo.. U know aage ke liye experience mil jayega.. " Anjie nd Atul were shy at this comment nd Ridhhima hit Armaan on his arm for this shameless comment..when Armaan gave another option rubbing his arm "Or you guys can take care of Arav till me nd Ridhhima finish with our Romance.. You see even this help you in future nd besides humari romantic baatein sunne ke liye yeh abhi chota hai.."

"Armaan shut up.. tumhari yeh baatien bhi mere bete ke liye achhi nai hain.." Ridhhima said hidding her blush nd uncomfort with all of Armaan's romantic remarks..

while others were busy chatting yet Atul nd Anjie were in their dream lands.... they were recollecting Armaan's words nd their few yet effective encounters with eachother.. they were going through a different face of discovering themselves when they're together..their feelings were different.. Atul for the first time felt sumthing so strong for a girl nd Anjie for the first time has felt this sort of strong attraction.. Attraction..yes that was the title anjie nd atul gave to their feelings for eachother but were still not satisfied..

Is this it our fate have for us or is there something more to it..? was one common question their thoughts hold..

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Hmm guys its getting bored.. Although temple is gud nd sight is terrific lekin ab kya..? humne temple ki pictures le li.. bhai-bhabhi aur arav ki video ban gayi..meri aur muski ki video ban gayi.. humsab ki sath mein bhi video ho gayi..ab kya..?"

"Oye bhool gaya..Armaan is gonna sing for us..Ooops…!..sorry..not for us but for his JAAN.." Muskaan reminded them..

"okk okk lekin kaunsa ganaa.. nd Rahul iss ki bhi video bana I want all sweet memories to remain with me when we get back home.." Armaan almost ordered.. "yes Mr. Mallik.." Rahul replied like an employee nd smiled.. "Armaan vahi gana gao jo tumne uss din Ridhhima ke liye gaya thha.." Anjie said.. "okk.." he looked at Ridhhima her eyes were reflecting her unconditional love..lost in those emerald green eyes he started humming for the tune..(from aashiq banaya aapne)

 

zindagi luta doon…. ek baar jo muskurade..

kuch nahi mera sab kuch, teri ek hasi ke aage..

aakhon ki yeh nami..tere gam yeh sabhi,

aajaaa de de mujhe meri Jaan..

aa...aaa.kareeb..aa..

aa...aaa.kareeb..aa..

sach kahunga main.. tera saath dunga main..

koi mushkil ho.. sab kuch sahunga main..

Raaste faasle keh rahe sun bhi le..

ab saath chalunga main..

ab saath chalunga main..

 

aa tujhe pyaar dun .. zindagi vaar dun..

tere kadmon mein rakh dun jahaan..

aa...aaa.kareeb..aa..

aa...aaa.kareeb..aa..

 

zindagi luta doon…. ek baar jo muskura de..

kuch nahi mera sab kuch, teri ek hasi ke aage..

aakhon ki yeh nami..tere gam yeh sabhi,

aajaa de de mujhe meri Jaan..

haannn...aaa.kareeb..aa..

haann...aaa.kareeb..aa..

 

As the song ended..all of them were in awe..Ridhhima had slight tears in her eyes coz every single word in the song had a silent promise with it....She loved the song two years back nd she loved it even now coz the emotions nd love were still intact.. Their trance was broken by the applause from all the people present there..

 

"wah kya zamana aa gaya hai.. International singing sensation yahan hai aur sab log ek Doctor ke gaane pe taaliyaan bajaa rahe hain…" Rahul said in mocking envy..

Armaan gave his killer smile nd chuckled..he bent towards Rahul nd sniffed around nd said "I think somethings burning..OR sumone's acting 'J'.. Mr.Rahul- singing sensation-Mallik.." 

"why would I be jealous..?" he said defencively.

"Okk enough Armaan stop pulling his leg.. he was just kidding.." Muskaan interupted

"Oh-ho.. to ab koi Rahul ko defend karne laga hai.." Armaan said.... nd Muskaan blushed..even Rahul flushed red at this... (comeon yaar nayi nayi shaadi hui hai..)..

 

After sum more videos nd teasing sessions they returned to Bi's caf.. Guys were sitting while girls have gone to freshen up.. Seing four hot girls sitting on the nearby table nd Ridhhima coming from the opposite direction Armaan though of having some FUN.. He joined those girls on their table as if he has not seen ridhhima approaching..He was talking to the girls laughing chatting while back on the table..AA,nd RM knew definitely Armaan is gonna have it today so decided to have more fun..

"Bhabhi... aap dekh rahi hain bhai kaise unn ladkiyon se flirt kar raha hai.." Rahul said probing Ridhhima's anger..... "Haan Ridhhima dekhna kitna free ho rahi hai vo mini skirt vali ladki.." Muskaan pointed to the girl who was touching Armaan's macho muscles..

Ridhhima's anger was now rising but suddenly an idea strruck her mind nd she smiled....

"Ridzie tu has rahi hai..tujhe koi problem nai hai ki Armaan aise unn ladkiyon ke saath flirt kar raha hai..?" Anjie was surprised while atul was lost in admiring Anjie....

Ridhhima didn't answered anyones queries she just asked arav if he wants to have a chocolate.. Arav clapped his hands in excitement nd nodded.. "To jao..papa ki pocket mein aapke liye chocolate hai…" She set Arav on the ground so that he can move to Armaan.. "Ridz kya kar rahi hai..?"  "Bas Di dekti jaiye.." Ridhhima said giving an evil smile..

On the other hand Armaan felt sumone taking hold of his jeans nd slowly the hand crept inside his pocket.. He looked down to find Arav struggling with his pocket for sumthing nd as he looked up he said "PAPA.. meli chokate..?".. .....as Arav called him PAPA all the girls were shocked nd Armaan smiled scared yet foolishly at them nd then said gently to Arav "beta abhi mere paas nai hai..Aap mama ke paas jao main abhi lekar aata hoon okk.." as soon as Arav left all the girls stood up nd one by one spoke to armaan angrily ont of them even pulled Armaan's hair nd left in a huff while back on their table all were laughing like maniacs...... Armaan turned to them nd asked "kiska idea thha yeh..?"..

Ridhhima said giggling "ussi ka jisko tum pareshaan karna chahte thhe Mr. Oh-so-Hot Mallik.." "tum…tumhe ..tumhe to main dekh loonga.." he said to Ridhhima in mock anger , melo-dramatically.. Setting his hair as he was about to sit arav again said "Papa..meli chokate.." everyone again ran into fits of laughter including armaan.... "haan baba chalo.. pehle aapki chocolate laate hain.."..
