Part 43
 

Armaan sat by her side with Ryan in his lap.. Since the time he got that call from Anjali saying Ridhima was not well, he had been dying of guilt.. though he knows now that she is not in any danger and their baby is fine too.. but still his heart was thudding faster not able to feel her love around.. He tried keeping Ryan busy but after every few minutes Ryan would give a waiting glance to his mamma..

"Mamma kab uthengi papa..?" he finally asked.. Armaan looked at Ryan and then at Ridhima.. he kissed Ryan's head and embraced him saying "Mamma thak gayi thi na 2 din se.. aur mamma soyi bhi nahi thi theek se.. toh mamma bas rest kar rahi hain ab.. maasi ne dawai de di na.. bas thodi der mein aap mamma se baat karoge hmmm.."

Sighing still unconvinced Ryan laid down besides Ridhima pulling himself close to his mamma.. As soon as he lied Sapna came in with some food.. she gave the plate to Armaan saying that Ryan has not had his lunch as yet.. "Ryan.. beta utho pehle aap khana khao phir sona mamma ke paas.." Armaan said brushing his hair.. only  to see sobbing Ryan looking at him and nodding in a NO.. even after alot of their attempts Armaan and Sapna were not able to take Ryan away from Ridhima.. It was only till Anjali came in and picked Ryan settling him in her lap.. Just as he started struggling to go back Anjali lightly cuddled him saying "Ryan khana nahi khayega toh phir voh apni mamma ka dhyaan kaise rakhega..?"

Ryan stopped struggling at once and looked at Anjali.. "Ryan ko mamma khana khilati hai roj.."

"par abhi toh Ryan ki mamma thodi si weak hai na.. toh Ryan big boy ki tarah apni mamma ka dhyaan nahi rakhega..?" Anjali prompted abit more just as she had seen Ridhima doing when Ryan was adamant.. seeing Ryan nod she took him out where Sapna had kept the plate.. seeing them all the others were surprised.. Bi, Mrs.Joshi , Sapna and Mrs.Mallik had not expected Ryan to come with Anjali.. but nonetheless they were satisfied seeing Ryan occupied for sometime atleast.. "Chalo Ryan, maasi ko apne toys dikhao.. apne favourite vale jo aap apni mamma ke saath kheloge jab voh uth jayegi.." Anjali said before Ryan could again fuss to be with Ridhima..

Sapna also joined the duo.. while Mrs.Joshi was pleased to see Anjali taking care of Ryan.. that was the time when she realized that Anjali was not all that bad as she had thought, but major part of her brain contradicted saying it was all an act..

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

While on the other hand Armaan was feeling miserable sitting so helpless.. he once bent and kissed Ridhima's head and kept brushing her hair while his other hand held her hand.. He was continuosly staring at her but got disturbed by slight movements.. he concentrated only to see her stirring.. he quickly sat up straight facing her and tapping her face lightly.. "Ridhu..! Ridhu tum.. tum theek ho na..?"

He at once called for Anjali and Sapna.. he sat there by her holding her hand while Anjali checked her BP levels an her levels of consciousness.. "She is fine now jeej.. maine driver ko medicines ki list de di hai laane ke liye.. when he is here I'll tell you ki kab kitni dosage deni hai.." Armaan couldn't control his tears that were threatening to fall any moment.. "Thanks Anji.." he hugged anjali and then sat there holding Ridhima's hand in his.. he saw happy Sapna and Anjali making there was out of the room.. "Anjali.. Ryan kahan hai..? usko thodi der mein le aana yahan please.."

"Usko sula diya hai jeej.. uthega toh aajayega yahan.." Sapna told him before they left the room..

Seeing her trying to sit up Armaan helped her while arranging pillows behind her back.. "Araam se Ridhu.. you are still very weak.." he whispered.. however as soon everything re-registered in her mind, she looked at him frowning..

"Kya hua tha mujhe..?"

"Fever high ho gaya tha.." he managed to whisper back.. "Mujhe bataya kyun nahi Ridhu..? tumhari tabiyat kharaab thi aur main apna gussa hi kaabu nahi rakh paya.. main office ki problems mein itna ullajh gaya tha ki.. realize hi nahi kiya ki mere aise behavior se kitna darr jaati hai meri Ridhu.. aur iss baar toh maine apni Ridhu ke saath apne babies ko bhi dara diya na..? I'm sorry Ridhu.." he said with his head still down..

"Aapko bata diya Anjie di ne..?" Ridhima asked meekly only to see him nodding lightly.. "Main aapko khud hi batana chahti thi.. par samajh hi nahi aaraha tha ki kaise bataun aapko.. mujhe khud itna time laga believe karne mein.."

"I'm sorry Ridhu.. maine tumhara voh moment kharaab kar diya.. kitni khush thi na tum, par maine.. maine sab spoil kar diya.." Armaan said in cracking voice.. that was enough to break off Ridhima's patience her tears too flowed freely.. "Haan.." Ridhima agreed and hugged armaan crying in his arms..

They sat there crying their eyes out.. after a few minutes Armaan stopped himself and gave Ridhima some water saying "Bas Ridhu.. ab no more crying.. jo chaho sazaa do mujhe par please ab rona nahi.."

Ridhima looked at him abit calculatively saying "Main aapse baat nahi karungi Armaan.. aap har baar aise hi karte hain.. pehle gussa karte hain phir maafi maangte hain.. par iss baar nahi.." while Armaan nodded knowing he was definitely at fault this time.. he held her hands and kissed them "Mera dil hi jaanta hai ki kitna darr gaya tha main, jab Anjali ka phone aaya mujhe office mein ki tumhari tabiyat kharaab hai.. office se ghar ka raasta jaise khatam hi nahi ho raha tha.. main jaanta hoon ki galti ki hai maine.. aur tum baat bhi matt karna mujhse.. par apna dhyaan rakhne se toh nahi rokogi na..?" he asked with his eyes full of tears.. she at once cupped his face wiping his tears..

"Main toh mazaak kar rahi thi Armaan.. aapse baat nahi karungi toh kis se karungi hmm..?"  she pulled him by his hand making him sit by her side and hugged him with her arms around his waist and her head on his neck.. "punishment toh milegi aapko.. aur voh yehi hai ki aapko ab se mera dhyaan rakhna hoga.. koi kaam nahi karenge aap office ka aur har waqt mere paas rahenge.. aur phir kabhi lade na mujhse toh kabhi baat nahi karungi aapse.." she said in a cracking voice, hiding herself in his neck..

"kabhi nahi.. main ab kabhi nahi sataunga apni jaan ko.. aur madam yeh banda ab aapki hi khidmat mein rahega har waqt.. aapki sab nakhre uthage aapka yeh gulaam aur humari zindagi ke iss khubsurat mod pe main vada karta hoon ki tumhara saath nahi chodunga Ridhu.." he said kissing her head and they stayed like that for sometime..

"Ryan kahan hai..?" she asked after a while..

"So raha hai.. voh bhi bohot darr gaya tumhe aise dekh ke.. anjali ne samhaala usko badi mujshkil se.." he still had her in his arms and was cradling her.. soon enough Mrs. Mallik came in with juice and food for them.. she smiled looking at Ridhima blessing her with good health and a healthy baby.. placing the food on he table she turned to Armaan warning him in a stern voice "Ab teri responsibility double ho gayi hai Armaan.. khabardaar jo ab aisi galti hui toh.." While Armaan nodded quietly.. he knew this incident has left mark on everyone's mind.. Ridhima is so close to everyone's heart that even her slightest problem hurts everyone around her..

"tum yahan baitho main plate leke aata hoon.." he said kissing her head.. he gave her a glass full of juice first and then with in a few bites she was full.. after a lot of fussing and Ridhima's warning Armaan to had his food.. soon enough he came back washing his hands and settled besides her.. "Chalo phir se shuru karte hain.. imagine agar uss din main gussa nahi hua hota, toh tum mujhe kaise batati..?"

"maine socha nahi tha kuch.. I mean socha tha.. par final nahi kiya tha.."

"kya socha tha batao..?" he nugged her getting the supposed to be happy situation back.. he waited only to see her giggling to herself and blushing too..

"I first thought to mix my reports in ur important papers so that when you see them in office you get to know the news.." they giggled together at the idea.. " Par phir maine socha ki main aapka reaction toh dekh hi nahi paaaungi.. toh I thought of giving you hints like buying baby stuff.."

"toh phir voh kyun reject kiya idea..?"

"Armaaann.. we already have a baby in the house toh usmein new kya hota..?"

"aur bhi kuch socha tha..?" he asked smiling to himself hearing her ideas..

"hmm.. socha tha.. aur vahi karti bhi main shayad.."

"Kya..?" he asked seeing her blush..

"dinner ke baad aap jab sone aate toh dheere se aapke kaan ke paas aake kehti ki Armaan aapki choti si Ridhu jaldi hi aapke paas aane vali hai.." she said with her heart beating faster.. while he smiled remembering when once he said on Ryan's bday that he wants a small Ridhu soon.. He kissed her temple sqeezing her in his embrace.. "Thank you Ridhu.. tumne itni badi khushi di hai mujhe ki abhi tak toh samajh hi nahi aaraha ki itni khushi samhlegi kaise..?"

"Main bhi yahi soch rahi thi ki aapko kaisa lagega sunkar.. aap sach mein kush hain na Armaan..?" she asked looking into his eyes.. he lightly bumped his head to hers whispering "bohot.."

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

It was a while when Anjali called Armaan outside to tell him about Ridhima's medications, while Sapna along with Ryan joined Ridhima and elder ladies were busy in the kitchen making things apt for Ridhima to eat and also filling all the servants with all sort of instructions and precautions to be taken..

"guddoo.." Ryan rushed in shouting on top of his lungs.. Sapna quickly picked him up and settled him in Ridhima's lap carefully before he could jump.. sobbing he clung to Ridhima like her second skin.. she knew he was scared coz he called her 'Guddoo..' She rubbed his back soothed him till his sobs subsided.. "Bash bache.. aapki guddoo bilkul theek hai.." she gently cupped his face, wiping his tears and cradling him, talking to him..

 

While outside the room Anjali was busy giving instructions to Armaan.. she handed him some medicines telling him the dosage.. "Ab aapko dhyaan rakhna hoga jeej.. voh kahegi nahi par andar se khud bhi bohot dari hui hai iss waqt.. uske ateet ki kayi yaadein taaza ho gayi hain inn 2 dinon mein jo nahin hona chahiye thha.. Ridhu ko iss waqt jis pyar aur care ki zaroorat hai voh security, Ridhu sirf aapke saath hi feel karti hai.."

Armaan nodded at Anjali.. "Main samajh raha hoon tumhara ishaara Anjali.. Ridhu ko unn yaadon mein phir se nahi khone dunga main.. Thankyou Anjali.. thanks a lot.. apne parents ki jo galtiyaan koi nahi batata voh bhi tumne batayi hain mujhe.. meri Ridhu ka darr zaahir kiya hai mujhpe aur main iss baat ka dhyaan rakhunga ki Ridhu abhi kuch waqt tumhare parents se na mile.."

Their discussion was interrupted by Mrs. Joshi.. they both turned to see her standing with Anjali's bag which had her phone ringing in it.. "Thank you aunty.." Anjali said taking her bag, while Armaan walked off to see if Ridhima and Ryan were fine now..

Fishing her phone out she saw 5 missed calls from Padma.. she quickly dialed back only to find angry Padma on the otherside.. "Mom calm down please.. main Ridhu ke ghar hoon.. she was not well.." Anjali said..

"Toh tum vahan kyun ho..? Sapna bhi toh doctor hai aur voh Atul bhi.. voh nahi aaya apne dost ke ghar..?"

"Mom.. Sappy bhi mere saath hai yahan aur Atul ko beech mein matt laiye.. mujhe kab kya karna hai mujhe bohot  ache se pata hai.. Riddhu ko abhi meri zaroorat hai aur main yahin rahungi jab tak mujhe nahi lagta ki voh sahi rahegi ab, bina medication ke.." Anjali retorted on an impulse..

"Tum abhi ghar aarahi ho Anjali.. main tumhe uss Ridhima ke ghar rehne nahi dungi samjhi tum.. aur uss Ridhima ko toh main.."

"MOM.. enough.. na aap Ridhu ke bare mein kuch kahengi na hi yahan aayengi.. main nahi chahti ki aap ya dad yahan aaye.. Ridhu is expecting aur main nahi chahti ki aapki vajah se uski tabiyat aur kharaab ho.." even before Padma could retort Anjali ended the call saying "Mom I'm serious about wat I just said.. aapki vajah se Ridhu ko kuch hua toh main Gupta House kabhi vapas nahi aaungi.."

Sighing she sat on the chair getting some breath and calmness into her system.. handling her parents was not tough for her.. but handling her parents against her little Ridhu is a handful of task for her.. she wants to protect her parents' reputation but not on the cost of Ridhima's health.. So the final and most powerful of her weapons works all the time.. as much as her parents hate Ridhima, she knows they love her blindly and know that she is very well capable of fulfilling all her words of warning..

Pulling herself she turned to go to Ridhima's room only to bump into Atul's mother.. She was one person infront of whom Anjali Gupta felt hesitant and conscious of what she does.. Anjali quickly stepped back mumbling a small sorry, half expecting a curt nod.. but was shocked when Mrs.Joshi patted her shoulder smiling at her lightly..


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

 After dinner Armaan offered to change Ryan while Ridhima changed herself.. Armaan was carrying Ryan to his room to put him to sleep but as soon he kept Ryan on his bed, he got off and rushed to Ridhima.. "Ryan mamma paash ninni kalega.." he said keeping his tiny palm on Ridhima's cheek.. Ridhima gave him a smile and shifted in the middle making space for Ryan in front of her.. while Armaan came and settled behind her.. he saw her patting Ryan with a smile and kissed her head lightly.. "Tum comfortably so paogi aise..? should I shift to Ryan's room for today..?" he asked her with concern..

She very lightly tucked Ryan and turned to Armaan in surprise.. "Ryan ke room mein kyun soyenge aap..?" she asked..

"nahi.. I mean.. tumhe problem toh nahi hogi na..? main aur Ryan kaise ekdum tumhe pakad ke sote hain toh you'll be fine..?" he asked yet again..

"Armaan.. I'm fine.. koi problem nahi hogi mujhe.. aur aap Ryan ke room mein soyenge toh mujhe kaise neend aaayegi..?" she said with her ever so sweet smile knowing it was something more to his concern..

She frowned when he lied down on her side providing her with enough space to shift, unlike other days when he would cuddle her so close that she would request him to atleast let her breathe.. pushing those thoughts aside she turned herself and slept keeping his arms around her, herself..

Next Morning was more irritating than Ridhima had thought.. her flirting and irritating husband has turned extra sweet in a day.. she was surprised to see Sapna, Anjali and Muskaan at Mallik house with their bags packed.. She frowned deeper when she was looking for Ryan but Armaan said that he is already been sent to school.. only then she looked at watch to see it was 10am.. "Aapne uthaya kyun nahi mujhe..?"

"Kyunki meri Ridhu aur choti Ridhu ko abhi bohot rest chahiye.. toh maine decide kiya hai ki ab se mera saara time sirf tumhara.. maine officially leave li hai dad se.. toh ab se kuch waqt no office.." he said grinning, making her sigh at his eagerness.. "Aap sab apne apne kaam chod ke yahan rahenge toh bas ho gaya mera rest.. ekdusre se ladte rahenge sab ke sab.. aur main sirf pregnant hoon Armaan.. beemar nahi jo aap log aise.."

"arre tu kyun fikar kar rahi hai..? humne sab manage kar liya hai.." Sapna said..

"Haan Ridhu.. u don't worry.. aaj thursday hai aur humne agle 2 din ki leave li hai.. so we'll enjoy for next 3 days now.." Anjali explained..

"Right.. aur tu darr matt hum tujhe tere hero ke saath bhi romance karne ka time denge.." Muskaan teased making Ridhima blush..

"Hmm.. aur maine bhi bas kuch months ki leave li hai.." Armaan said kissing her forehead.. "KYA..?" she asked shocked.. "Months ki leave..? Armaaann'?"

He sat by her side lightly taking her hand saying "Ab meri RIdhu ki punishment bhi toh maan ni hai na mujhe.. har waqt uske saath rehna hai aur uska khayaal rakhna hai.. haina..?" he winked at her making her smile.. she shook her head thinking may be she would try putting some sense into all of them after a few days.. "aapse jeet sakta hai koi..?" she asked in a sugary tone to which he shook his head showing his dimples..

They were shaken off their eyelock sessions with a few fake coughs.. Ridhima looked down in embarrassment and Armaan frowned at disturbance.. "Ab tum sab aise hi kabad mein haddi banogi kya..?"

"Nahi.. kyunki ab 3 din ke liye humari girly gang kabaab hogi aur tu haddi.. Ridhima ke saath humari bhi ache se seva kariyo.." Muskaan said as a matter of factly..

"badi aayi seva karvane vali.. main sirf apni Ridhu ka dhyaan rakhunga.. tum sab ka dhyaan tumhare pati rakhenge jab tum pregnant hogi.." Armaan retorted..

"ARMAAANNN.." all of them said in a threatening voice to which he giggled and left the room, pecking Ridhima's cheek..


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

Friday and Saturday passed very confusingly and quickly for Ridhima.. she had many visitors and most of them were temporary residents at their place now.. though all of them came to cheer Ridhima up but Mrs.Joshi was there on purpose..  unknown to them all, Anjali's thinking and her way of handling situations was being tested by Atul's mother..

She has seen how Atul beems at the mere sight of Anjali and how Anjali defends Atul from jokes of their friends and taunts of her parents.. she has also seen how Anjali has been taking care of Ridhima an telling her what to do, how to sit and not to exhert herself.. other than Armaan and Mrs. Mallik it was Anjali who would strictly keep a watch on Ridhima's food and her activities..

Sunday  morning was more of a family picnic.. everything was set in the back garden of the house under the sun.. and all the couples were sitting and chatting.. Ridhima was made to sit on a stool rather than a carpet and Armaan accompanied her by keeping his head in her lap.. he was enjoying light caress when he heard his father calling to him.. "main abhi aaya jaan.." he left kissing her hand..

Mr.Mallik  was sitting with Mrs.Mallik, Bi and Mrs.Joshi when Armaan joined him.. "Armaan.. I thought about your point of view regarding the merger.. but NOW.. I think it is a much needed step.. tum regular office nahi aaoge toh sab kaise manage hoga.."

"So..? kya socha hai aapne..?" Armaan asked in an unsure tone..

"Yahi ki merger toh hoga.. par Shashank ke saath nahi.. Naina bhabhi ki company ke saath.. Atul is ready to keep his practice on hold and look after all your work.. while I can also hold on till I officially become an old man ie. Grandfather of two.." he laughed..

"Thanks dad.." Armaan hugged him out of utter joy.. Mr.Mallik patted his shoulder saying "I'm glad beta ki tumne apni priorities sort kar li.. at an early stage.. kyunki waqt rukta nahi hai, aur na hi voh kisi insaan ya rishte ko zyada der rukne deta hai.." Armaan smiled his best and gave an understanding nod just as he got up to go he heard his father saying "Arre haan.. Armaan.. meri aaj subah Shashank se bhi baat hui thi.. Shashank aur padma will join us on lunch when they come to see Ridhima.." listening to his father all the happiness drained out of him that he held a moment ago.. he nodded and left..

Armaan was not that cheerful as he was when he left.. but nonetheless he can't let any of his problems reach his Ridhu and their baby to come.. he just called Anjali in the hall explaining her the problem.. they just nodded at eachother and joined others knowing that they cannot plan anything and they will have to act on situation.. "Kya hua..?" Ridhima asked Armaan as he came and sat by her again.. Armaan told her half of the conversation that he though would make her feel good.. he  told her about the merger and how Mrs.Joshi helped him.. and now they  are merging with Joshi's..

Listening to a light "Hmm.." from her, he tilted his head only to find her in deep thoughts.. "Kya soch rahi ho Ridhu..?" he asked shaking her off her thoughts.. "Armaan, papa ne chacha ji ko bataya hoga na mere bare mein.. voh phir bhi aaye nahi yahan.. agar voh aaye toh aap mere saath hi rehna please.."

He took her hands in and gave them a light squeeze saying "Main unko tumhare kareeb bhi nahi aane dunga Ridhu.. not after what all Anjali has told me.. tumhara Armaan aur tumhari Di, dono hain tumhare saath.." she gave a light nod..


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

Its was 1 in the afternoon and the ladies were busy setting table in the backyard for lunch.. Armaan saw Ridhima coming with some plates and quickly rushed to her.. "Kya kar rahi ho tum..? maine kaha tha na ki tumhe kuch heavy nahi uthana hai, na hi kuch kaam karna hai.." he took plates from her and made her sit.. while she made a face and kept quiet knowing that Armaan was not alone in this, everyone present here will side him saying she should rest..

As they were sitting for food Mr.Mallik said no saying he will join Shashank and Padma or else it will look rude.. Anjali on an impulse said "Uncle main pooch leti hoon mom se ki voh kahan hain.. unhe ek formal lunch bhi attend karna hai aaj.."

Saying so she moved to the hall.. after a few minutes she came back "Uncle aap please lunch kar lijiye.. mom dad toh aaj aa nahi payenge.." she said giving a look to Armaan which Naina and Atul caught immediately.. Armaan smiled back at Anjali and got himself busy in serving Ridhima..

 

After half an hour when everyone was sitting and chatting to the glory and Ryan was busy playing with his dadu and dadi's.. Anjali quickly excused herself and rushed into the house only to be followed by Armaan, Atul and Mrs.Joshi.. they stopped when they saw Anjali with Padma and Shashank in a heated argument..

"Aap log Ridhu se nahi milenge.. maine already Mallik uncle se keh diya hai ki aap log nahi aayenge.." Anjali came straight to the point as was scared Ridhima might walk in any moment..

"Anjali yeh kya tareeka hai apne dad se baat karne ka..? Mr.Mallik ne invite kiya hai humein yahan.. aur hum yahan unke liye aaye hain Ridhima ke liye nahi.." Padma scolded Anjali only to get a curt reply saying  "Mom.. I have told you before.. Ridhu is not well.. and I don't want her to get hurt or scared anymore than she is now.."

"Ridhima theek ho ya nahi mujhe isse koi matlab nahi hai Anjali.. usko humne apne ghar mein rakha itne saal.. usko itna bada kiya.. ab bas.. humara uss se koi matlab nahi hai.. aur na hi tumhe hona chahiye.. tum bhul sakti ho ki tum Armaan ko pasand.." Padma tried reminding Anjali of her craziness only to be cut short by her.. "Enough..! Mujhe aur kuch nahi kehna hai mom.. aap log abhi yahan se vapas ja rahe hain bas that's final.. agar aapne ab Ridhu ko hurt kiya toh main kabhi aapke ghar mein nahi aaungi vapas.. and for the final time.. I don't love Armaan.. I love Atul.." she said taking flowers from them..

"I'll give these flowers to Mallik uncle saying that you have sent them as an apology for not being able to stop by at lunch with him.." with that she followed her fuming parents to the door..

 

On the otherhand Armaan sighed and looked at Atul who looked bewildered at Armaan.. Armaan smiled at Atul reading his mind.. he patted Atul's shoulder and left saying "Love can change people for Worse.. but True Love changes people for good.. tere pyaar ne aaj phir se Anjali ko itni himmat de di ki voh meri Ridhu ke liye apne parents se lad rahi hai.."

"Mera pyar..? voh toh shayad kabhi pura hi nahi hoga Ammy.. Ma ke against main jana nahi chahta aur Anjali ko bhula nahi sakta.. aur uske badlaav se farak nahi padta mujhe ammy kyunki maine toh uss gusse vali Anjali se hi pyaar kar liya tha jo andar hi andar lad rahi thi apne aap se ki apne dimaag ki sunke aur galtiyaan kare ya dil ki sunke apni behen se maafi maange.. mujhe pata hai kitna bhi gussa kyun na ho.. meri Anjali dil ki bohot achhi hai.. aur mujhe bas intzaar hai ki Ma bhi samajh le usko.. tab tak humein wait karna hoga.." Atul said in a glum voice..

 

Armaan saw Mrs.Joshi standing behind them so he asked "uss gusse vali Anjali se kaise pyar ho gaya Atul..? kya karega agar aunty ne mana kar diya toh..?"

"Pyar karne ki zaroorat nahi padti Armaan.. pyar toh dil khud hi kar leta hai.. uska gussa sirf sabko dikhane ka tha.. apna darr chhupane ke liye gussa karti thi voh.. zidd thi uski jo uske dil pe bhari pad rahi thi.. par ab sab theek hai..voh jaanti hai ki usko kab kya karna hai ammy.. Main, Ma ko dosh nahi deta.. unke saath jo Shashank Gupta ne kiya business mein voh maaf karne kaabil nahi hai.. Ma ne sirf Shashank Gupta ki vajah se itni struggle kari hai yeh business handle karne mein.. aur jahan tak Anjali ki baat hai toh sirf main hi nahi, balki hum dono intzaar hi kar rahe hain aur aage bhi karenge, chahe Ma mana kar dein phir bhi umeed rahegi ki agar yeh pyar sacha hai toh unko bhi yeh sachai dikhegi.." Atul said and went to see if Anjali needed him at the moment.. while Armaan turned to look at Mrs.Joshi who was deep in her thoughts..

"Don't worry aunty.. aap job hi karengi Atul aur Anjali ke liye voh acha hi hoga.. mujhe pata hai ki aap apni past pareshani ko Atul ke future par bhaari nahi padne dengi.." Armaan said with a small understanding smile..

"Baat ab sirf Atul ki nahi hai beta.. baat ab Anjali ki bhi hai.. aur Anjali ke saath Guptas ki bhi.. Anjali ko shayad main ek mauka de sakti hoon par uske parivaar ko nahi.. Insaan badal jaate hain beta par unki fitrat (nature) nahi badalti kabhi.." She said looking at Armaan and went away leaving confused Armaan behind.. He knew that although Mrs.Joshi has started developing a soft corner for Anjali but somehow her struggles and her experiences were gripping her heart from excepting it..

"Ab waqt hi hai sabke imtehaan ka.. Atul Anjali ke pyaar ka toh Naina Joshi ki nafrat ka.. Armaan ke vaade ka ki Ridhu ke har sawaal ka jawaab usko milega.. aur Ridhima ke vishwaas ka.."

PRECAP: ATUL AVOIDS HER.. AR DISCUSSION.. RYAN's CUTENESS..
