RECAP: A MONTH AFTER AR's HONEYMOON.. AR'S ROMANCE ND LIL RYAN GROWING UP..

 

Part 27

 

Armaan woke up nd found Ryan clinging to him in his sleep.. He first wondered when did Ryan come here but then smiled nd shifted him off to the bed nd kissed his head lightly.. He got ready nd to his surprises found his tie done already.. he frowned nd wore it while walking to the kitchen..

 

"Good morning Bi.. Ridhu kahan hai..?" he asked sensing something was not normal.. Bi told him that she was offering prayers.. "Itni der se..? uski tabiyat theek hai na.. usse kabhi pooja ke liye itni der nai hoti.." He thought nd walked to the temple.. He saw her sitting by the idol reading some sacred lines.. He quietly settled by her side with his hands folded..

 

He waited for her to acknowledge him but she didn't nd after afew minutes he saw Sapna entering too.. he smiled at Sapna who smiled back at him.. "hi Sapna.." She settled besides him whispering "Acha laga aapko bhi pooja mein dekhke.."

 

"Kaisi pooja..?" he frowned

"Vo aaj.. uncle aunty ki death anniversary hai to Ridhu ghar pe pooja karti hai har saal.. mujhe yaad thha to main bhi aagayi.." Sapna said.. Armaan gulped nd looked at Ridhhima's face with mixed expressions of  confusion nd love.. he wondered why she never told him about this.. He moved out of the room nd came back changed into a white kurta pajama nd started chanting with Ridhhima nd Sapna.. In between Ryan too got up he too came there looking for Ridhhima.. He went nd settled quietly in Ridhhima's lap but Armaan took him nd made him sit with him..

 

"pa.. vo kaun ai..?" he asked pointing at Shubhankar-Kirti's photo placed in front of Ridhhima.. "shh.. bacha vo naanu-naani hain.. hum unke liye pooja kar rahe hain jaise aapki badi ma ke liye kari thhi.." Armaan explained.. "vo bhi bhahwaan ji paash hain.." Armaan nodded but quietened Ryan when saw an unknown tear drop from Ridhhima's eyes in her lap..

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Ridhhima came to the room with his breakfast nd his lunch packed for office.. "Aapne breakfast nai kiya ab tak.. der ho jayegi aapko.." She said putting his things together when he got hold of her arm nd pulled her to himself with a jerk.. He looked into her eyes which were full of pain nd loneliness today.. unknowingly a tear dropped from his eyes too.. He pulled her into a hug while she didn't react at first but linked her arms around him when his grip was getting tighter nd tighter around her..

 

"Kitna dard chupaogi apne andar.. kal bataya kyun nai ki aaj pooja kar rahi ho tum..?" he whispered.. "Main har saal yeh pooja akele hi karti thhi Armaan.."

 

"par ab tumhari apni family hai Ridhu.. main hoon, Ryan hai.." He let her sob on his shoulder.. Armaan saw worried Sapna on the door nd gave a calm down look, as Ridhhima sobbed more.. She calmed down abit nd came out of the hug when she saw some of her kajal smeared on his kurta.. she then noticed he was not even ready for office.. "Aap change kar lijiye.."

 

"Main office nahi ja raha hoon aaj.. hum aaj tumhare purane ghar jayenge aur vahan pooja karvayenge.. main Mom-dad ko phone karke inform karta hoon.." he said nd was going when she hugged him tight nd relieved her rushing heart..

 

 

Mr.Mallik invited Guptas to the pooja aswell as they thought Shubhankar was anyway Shashank's brother.. Anjali saw Ridhhima quiet nd felt abit guilty  for not being able to reachout nd comfort her like she used to do every year.. But she was somewhere happy when she saw Sapna all along doing everything she used to do before AR's wedding..

 

She altered her gaze off Ridhhima nd Sapna when she felt a hand on her shoulder.. She saw Atul there.. "Jab dil mein Pyar baaki ho to Nafrat karne ki koshish bekaar hoti hai.." She looked at him stunned.. "Tum yeh.. I mean.. kya kehna chahte ho.."

 

"tum jaanti ho main kya kehna chahta hoon.. Ego ke liye kitne rishtey todogi Anjali..? Armaan ne tumse kabhi pyar nai kiya.. vo humesha se bhabhi ko chahta thha.. to tum kyun uske peeche apni zindagi barbaad kar rahi ho yeh jaante hue bhi ki vo dono ek atut rishtey mein bandh chuke hain.." Atul said it all finally..

 

"Tumhe kya pata ki hum jisse pyar karte hain usse kisi aur ke saath dekh ke kaise lagta hai jo tum mujhe samjha rahe ho.. main Ridhhima ko humesha apna samjha par vo aaj uss aadmi ki biwi hai jisse main pyar karti hoon.. aur Armaan.. usse to pata bhi nai ki main usse kitna pyar karti hoon to mujhmein ya Ridhhima mein se chose karne ka to sawaal hi nai uthta.." She blurted back on atul's face.. "Tum nahi samjhoge ki main kya feel kar rahi hoon.. mera dost  kehte ho na khud ko par tum nahi.."

 

She was cut in between by Atul.. "Main ache se samajhta hoon tum kya feel kar rahi ho issiliye keh raha hoon ki khud ko aur apnon ko pareshaan karna band karo.. main jaanta hoon ki jab hum kisi se pyar karne lagte hain to usse dusre ke baare mein sochta dekh ke kaisa lagta hai.. kyunki main tumse.." He sighed as he spoke it in a haste.. "Kyunki Anjali main tumse pyar karne laga hoon.."

 

He looked at her nd sqeazed her hand gently before walking away.. While anjali was left wondering over what Atul just said nd why didn't she turn him down like she used to do to others..

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

"Sapna Di aur Jeeju, Delhi se Mumbai shift ho rahi hain.." Ridhhima told Armaan while coming out in her night clothes only to find him lost in his thoughts.. She kept on sayings things while he didn't react.. She settled besides him nd laid her head on his shoulder.. He took her in an embrace "Kya soch rahe thhe aap..?" she asked to which he shook his head nd kissed her forehead..

 

He gently made her lie down on her pillow nd settled on his side gently planting kisses on her face nd patting her lightly to sleep, knowing how emotional she was the whole day  long.. He too drifted off keeping his head on her shoulder nd holding her as usual..

 

 

Next morning Ridhhima woke up nd found herself  in a tight embrace.. She was surprised to see Ryan on one side nd Armaan on the other, clinging to her.. Ridhhima first got herself out of Armaan's hold, without disturbing him nd then shifted Ryan to the bed as well..

 

"Mamma.." he whinned sleepily as she was about to go.. "shh.. mamma kahin nai ja rahi aapko chodke.. aap so jao bacha.." she got him in her lap nd soothed him but he was awake.. "ab aapto dal to ni lag laha na mamma..?" Ryan asked sweetly hugging Ridhhima..

 

"Nai betu.. mamma ko kyun dar lagega..?" she asked..

"Aapti mamma bhagwaan ji paash hai na.. aul jab lyan ki mamma ushke paash ni hoti to lyan to dal lagta hai.. to aapto bi lagta hoga.." he said.. Ridhhima was once surprised nd sad at his observation but then felt proud of his thinking.. she kissed his head nd soothed his back saying "Jab tak mera buddy mere paas hai na, mujhe dar nai lagta.. kyunki mera buddy bohot strong hai.. haina.." to which he nodded showing his teeth nd shining eyes..

 

"Mamma loves you.." she twirled him taking him in her arms as they move out to get Ryan fresh nd washed.. "Lyan lub Lidhuu.." he giggled naughtily knowing his father calls her Ridhu.. "gandu.. naam nai lete badon ka.." Ryan giggled nd nodded..

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

"Ryan.. Buddyy.." he looked for Ryan in the lounge nd room but he was nowhere "Ridhu.. Ridhhima.." he called her too but even  she didn't answer.. he shook his head mumbling "inn dono ko meri koi value nai hai.." he saw Bi emerging out of the kitchen with a glass of water..

 

"Thanku Bi.. Ryan aur Ridhima kahan hai..?" he asked..

"Beta vo tumhe batana bhool gayi thhi kal aur tumhara phone laga nai.. Vo Sapna ab Delhi se yahan shift ho rahi hai na to aaj Ridhhima uske hi ghar gayi hai madad karne.. aur Ryan uske bina raat bhar rahega nai to vo bhi ussi ke saath gaya hai.." Armaan eyes got bigger in shock..

 

"Matlab aaj raat vo vahin rehne vali hai..?" he asked to which Bi nodded nd he made a small face nd went to change.. he kept his mobile nd looked at it mumbling "Pata nai kis bewakoof ne Mobile banaya hai.. vaise to saraa din bajega par jab kaam ho to out of network.. huh.."

 

He threw his coat nd sat on the bed with with Ridhhima's photo nd suddenly jumped thinking abhi usse phone karke bula leta hoon.. he called her..

 

"Ridhu.." he whined but on the otherside he heard a muffled giggle.. "Badi hasi aarahi hai na.. tchh.. tumne pehle kyun nai bataya ki tum Sapna ke ghar stay karne vaali ho.. aur ab tumhare bina neend bhi nai aati hai mujhe.." he said in a baby tone but was shocked when he heard Sapna.. "Jeeju.. Ridhu aaj yahin rahegi aur ab to vo regularly aisa karegi.. aapko uske bina neend nai aati vo aapki problem hai.."

 

"Yar that's not fair.. meri biwi ko aise kaise mujhse dur rakh sakte ho..?" he whined again.. "Arre dur kahan rakh rahi hoon.. 2-3 din mein vapas bhej dungi aapke paas.. isse zyada to vo bhi aapse dur nai reh payegi.." Sapna said Naughtily to which Ridhhima retorted from back "Di bas kariye aur phone mujhe dijiye.."

"hmm.. itni bechaini ho rahi hai baat karne ki.." but Sapna stopped when Ryan by mistake spilt his water on Sapna making Ridhhima roll in laughter "Ryan.. maasi ki dress gandi kar di aapne.." this time Sapna made a face making Armaan laugh too..

"yeh hai mera sher beta.. Chalo ab jadi se Ridhu ko phone do.." Armaan said..

 

"Hey Ridhu.. tumhare bina na yeh ghar itna ajeeb sa lag raha hai.. na kisi ne aate hi mujhe hug kiya na mere kapde nikaale hain aur na mera coat hanger kiya hai.. aur ab mujhe khane baad achi achi vali sweet dish kaun dega.." he said it in one breath nd continued "Aur pata hai Sapna keh rahi thhi kit um 2-3 din rahogi vahan.. Ridhu.. mujhe kuch nai pata, kal  mujhe meri biwi vapas chahiye. Tum batao na Sapna ko ki mujhe sachi tumhare bina neend nai aati aur tumhe mere bina.. haina.."

 

"Armaan par main Di se nai keh sakti ki main.. umm.. Acha Armaan Ryan ko bhuk lagi hai.. main aapse baad mein baat karti hoon.. tab tak aap bhi khana kha lena please.." She disconnected before he could say anything else..

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

Armaan paced in his room looking at the clock.. It was 10pm yet Ridhhima was not free from her helping stuff nd was not picking up her phone.. Armaan sat thinking of some idea when he suddenly jumped.. he quickly called Atul saying Sapna is in Mumbai nd she wants to see him.. Atul being Sapna's old friend agreed.. Armaan patted himself mentally.. nd got ready..

 

 

With in half an hour Armaan nd Atul were standing outside Sapna nd amit's new house.. armaan quickly pressd the bell urgently.. He smile faded seeing Sapna at the door looking at him as of she knew he was gonna come.. "aaiye jeeju.. abhi bas aapki hi baat ho rahi thhi.. main Ridhu se keh rahi thhi ki aap usse mile bina nai reh paayenge.."

 

Armaan scratched his head cutely saying.. "Vo.. aaaa.. haan.. vo na Ryan ko ice cream khaani thhi to main uske liye ice cream laya hoon.. vaise to main usse kal khila deta ice cream par phir Atul ka phone ayaa, vo bola ki abhi tumse milna chahta hai to maine kaha chal.."

 

"Maine kaha yahan aane ko..? jhoothe.. tuney phone kiye thha mujhe.." Atul defended himself.. Armaan slapped his head as Atul spolt his plan.. "Abe thodi der muh band nai hota tujhse.." Armaan said slapping Atul's back when Sapna interrupted "Jeeju chinta matt kariye.. aap ab yahan aagaye hain to mil lijiye apni biwi se.. koi nahi rokega aap ko.."

 

Armaan smiled nd rushed inside saying thanku.. Ryan rushed to Armaan when he saw ice cream while armaan picked him settled besides Ridhhima.. ridhhima gave him a glare knowing that Sapna would tease her now but he made a baby face, melting her..

 

"Uhhmm.. mere bhai tu to sabke saamne shuru ho gaya.." Atul commented when he saw AR lost in eachother's eyes.. "Pa Ish ceem.." Ryan shouted nd gott them out of the trance.. "Haan baba.. ruk jao.." Armaan got up to look for the kitchen when Sapna said "Ridhu.. Jeeju ko bata na kitchen kahan hai.." Ridhhima blushed at Sapna's naughty tone.. nd went to kitchen followed by Armaan..

 

Armaan embraced her into a tight hug as soon as they were out of other's sight.. Armaan kissed her tightly on her lips while she pushed him abit.. "Yeh kya kar rahe hain.. hum apne ghar pe nai hain.." He smiled nd brought her closer by waist nd kissed her shoulder whispering "I missed you.." nd rested his head at her nape while she rested her head on his chest letting herself feel his heartbeats..

 

After afew minutes Armaan left her nd they quickly served the ice cream for everyone.. As Ridhhima took the tray he lightly kissed her forehead nd followed her outside.. Ryan was happily having his ice cream happily on his own.. Ridhhima made him sit on the table so that he doesn't walk around nd spoil the new stuff.. Sapna saw how grown up Ryan suddenly looked from Nikki's wedding than now.. She looked at AR nd saw Armaan lightly holding Ridhhima's hand under her saree's veil nd Ridhhima was trying to free it..

 

Sapna blessed their love nd asked "Jeeju.. Ryan ko aap kaunse school mein enroll karvaoge..?" Armaan looked at Ryan nd Then at Ridhhima who looked scandalized.. "Di Ryan abhi chota hai.. agle saal to usse kindergarden bhejenge.."

 

"Agle saal.. Ridhu.. Kindergarden 2 saal ke bache jaate hain.. aur school 3 saal ke.. aura b agle hafte Ryan bhi 2 saal ka ho jayega.." Amit explained.. Ridhhima looked at Ryan calculatively, he gave her a sweet smile full of ice cream.. Ridhhima smiled looking at that lil ice cream monster..

 

Armaan took Ryan in his lap nd wiped his face saying "Yeh mera samajhdaar beta hai.. Dekho ABCD to abhi se hi aati hai isse.. haina beta.. chalo bolo A for.."

"Almaan.." Ryan said naughtily..

"B for.."

"Bi.."

"C for.." Ryan was stuck when Armaan took a toffee from his pocket repeating "C for.." Ryan smiled widely "Candy.."

 

"Oye bas kar.. yeh ABCD sikhayega na to yeh bechara kya karega bada hoke.. mere hospital ke paas hai ek kindergarten.. acha hai, mere collegues ke bache aate hain vahan.. admission karvana ho to bata dena.." Amit informed Armaan while leaving Ridhhima with her trail of thoughts regarding Ryan..

 

coz of their chatting nd teasing, they never realized that it was too late.. Armaan nd Atul finally got up to leave when Sapna asked Ridhhima to go with Armaan nd come back tomorrow.. While Armaan grinned with satisfaction..

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 

"Armaan aap uthe nai ab tak.. jaldi kariye.. mujhe aur Ryan ko Sapna Di ke ghar bhi janaa hai.." Ridhhima said keeping his breakfast on the bedside.. "Aur aaj raaat ko lene matt aiyega main kal shaam tak aajaungi.. hmm.." Armaan peeped out of the blanket when she wasn't looking nd then started thinking of some idea to stop her from  going as its Saturday, he'll be back home early nd tomorrow would be his off from work..

 

As Ridhhima went to change Armaan quickly laid down on bed nd started acting.. When she came out she saw him lying on the bed with his hand on his head nd his face was showing pain.. She sat by him immideately "Kya hua Armaan.." she brushed his head lightly.. "umm.. Ridhu.. vo main jab abhi uthne lagan a to ekdum se thodi weakness se mehsus hone lagi.. sir mein bhi bohot dard ho raha hai.." he said shifting abit closer such that his arms could lock around her..

 

"Armaan.. aap rest kariye main abhi Sapna Di ko phone karke aati hoon ki main aaj nai jaungi vahan aur Atul ko bhi phone karti hoon vo aake dawai de denge aapko.." Ridhhima said nd turned to go when Armaan caught her wrist nd pulled her back on the bed.. "Nai.. Atul ko matt bulao.. uski koi zaroorat nai hai.. tum paas rahogi to khud theek ho jaunga main.." he said nd hugged her..

 

"armaan.. main aapki dekh bhaal kar sakti hoon par agar pain hai to uske liye to dawa leni padegi.." Ridhhima said picking up her phone but Armaan disconnected before Atul could answer the call.. "Tum do na dawa.. ek pyar ki doze se main bilkul theek ho jaunga.." he whispered in her ear nd bit her earlobe.. While she pushed him away "to yeh sab mazaak hai hmm.. aap jaante hain kitna daraa diya tha aapne mujhe.."

 

Armaan made a baby face nd pulled Ridhhima closer into a really passionate kiss.. He pulled her closer nd made her bend back, while leaning onto her.. with in a few moments, Ridhhima's anger started fading nd she responded passionately too.. Armaan left her breathless.. "main nai reh sakta tumse dur.." Armaan confessed kidishly nd took her into a light loving hug..

 

"Armaan.. main thodi aapko chod ke ja rahi hoon.. main bas 2 din ke liye Sapna Di ke paas ja rahi hoon.. kal raat se pehle aajaungi.." she explained not realizing Atul nd Anjali were at the door.. "acha chalo ek deal karte hain.. abhi main tumhe chod deta hoon vahan.. aur shaam ko main bhi vahin aajaunga.. kal raat ki tarah ghar aayenge aur phir kal subah phirse saath chalenge.. to mujhe yeh bhi nai lagega ki tum mujhse dur ho aur tum bhi Sapna ke saath reh lena.."

 

"aap nai maanenge na.." to which he shook his head.. AR looked at the door when they heard Atul giggling abit.. "Abe tu yahan kya kar raha hai..?" Armaan asked "kuch nai.. yeh dekh raha thha ki shaadi ke baad kitniiii planning karni padti hai biwi ke saath rehne har waqt rehne ke liye.." Atul chuckled while Anjali turned nd moved away truly realizing she has lost something now..
