Next morning armaan moved towards the dining area as he knows if he did not go to the dining table, all his family here. And he don't wants to hurt more people. He is already in dead position hurting HER. The person who is the reason of his life, But he is helpless. He can't do anything. Then looking at his bandaged hand he wiped his tears and

A:''I am so sorry riddhima, main mafi ke layak nahin hun isliye tum mujhe maf bhi mat karna riddhima''

He said and then he reached at the dining area and finds the helpers setting the dining table and he finds nobody is there till now. Maybe everyone is tired because of yesterday's party. He sighed and is about to move back to his room when he heard one voice that is the light of his world and he turned and saw his life standing there

R:''morning armaan''

She said with her million dollar smile on her face. She looks so beautiful, dressed in casual pink top and jeans. She has her hairs left open the thing he loved the most in hers. As he loved her long hairs and he always loved them when they played on her for head. He looked in her eyes which shows no pain at this moment. But he very well knows the pain that is hidden in her heart. She is successful in hiding the pain that showed in her eyes and hides behind her smile. But he knows her heart is bleeding so as his. But he can't to anything then his trance breaks as he heard her

R:''oye Mr. Mallik where are you?''

She said coming near him and armaan just shakes his head then

A:''riddhima are you alright?''

R:''han armaan mujhe kya hoga main bilkul thek hun''

She said with a smile and still seeing him not saying anything

R:''oh acha tum headache ki bat kar rahi ho vo bhi bilkul theek hain after all mera Best Friend medicine de aur balm lagaye aur mera sar na thek ho that's impossible''

She said giving him big smile and armaan just could not able to utter a word. And his heart bleeds more hearing Best Friend, they are always more than that but he himself breaks it. Then he heard her voice and

R:''acha yeh sab chodo tum aao maine tumhare favourite aloo paranthe banaye hain aao na''

She said pulling him to dining tabla and makes him sit there knowing he is hungry. As he needs breakfast and then she served him and seeing him not eating she speaks up as

R:''kya hua armaan khao na oske bad I will change your dressing''

She said and armaan just asked one word

A:''kyun''

R:''apnein armaan ki khushi ke liyye''

And she just said and their eyes locked with each other showing those emotions that are hidden. That are unsaid.

And then ridhima just breaks the eye contact and then she just

R:''oh ho armaan tum kitni batein karte ho acha aao na baitho main paranthe lati hun garama garama tumhare liyye with extra butter''

She said as she makes him sit on his chair and armaan did not utter a word, He don't know what to say to her. And soon riddhima is back with a plate full of paranthas and she placed one in armaan's plate and puts the butter on it and served him just the way he liked them. And before armaan can start they heard one voice

K:''I can see yahan tou celebrations chal raha hain but rhea this is so not fair humare bina''

She saw nandini and karan walks in and seeing them she smiled and then she

R:''good morning choti ma good morning uncle aur celebrations tou banta hi hain na after all my best friend got hitched nahin?''

She said teasing him and armaan did not even dared to look upwards. Her each and every word bleeds his heart. Nandini can see her son's pain so she just diverted the topic

N:''are rhea lekin tumne sab akele kyun kiya mujhe bula leti bacha''

She said affectionately and riddhima smiled and

R:''nahin choti ma ab kal tou armaan ne mujhe itna bada surprise de diya apni sagai ka. Mujhe kuch karne ka mauka hi nahin milla so atleast main itna tou kar hi sakti hun na''

She said and everyone has tongue tied and armaan just keeps on looking in his plate.

R:''chaliye choti ma baki batein hum bad mein karenge ap baithye na''

She said and nandini did not know how to say ''no'' to her so she settled down. And as riddhima served them she looked at armaan he did not even take a single bite. This is the first time armaan did not start eating when she cooked. Otherwise he actually counted on his fingers when she is going to cook.

Flashback

Riddhima is standing in the kitchen when someone barged in the kitchen. Seeing her he placed a kiss on her cheek as he puts his hand on her waist. And then he just mumbled as

A:''kya yar riddhima kitni der you know na I am so hungry for your food''

He said and riddhima smiled and then she just turned the parantha on the pan

R:''kya armaan tum bhi na. Aagar mere haath ke paranthe khane ka itna man tha tou bol dete''

A:''aise kaise tumhare exams the na so how can I? Par aaj finally finish ho gayye so here I am''

R:''sachi armaan tum na pagal ho pure''

She said and then she handed armaan the plate of his favourite aloo paranthe with extra butter as he settled on the counter

A:''aauch''

Armaan whined as he try to tear the hot parantha and riddhima immediately takes his finger in her mouth. She sucks it and then blow on it

R:''kya armaan bilkul bacho jaise behave karte ho tum''

She scolded and armaan smiled then he

A:''kya karun tumhare hath ke paranthe dekh kar dill mera kaboo mein nahin rehta riddhima''

He said and riddhima shakes her head at him and feeds him herself .

Flashback Over

Riddhima's trance breaks as she heard karan's voice as

K:''arey rhea kahan kho gayi beta''

He asked and riddhima looked at him then shakes her head and then her eyes met with armaan who knows what must be she is thinking. And seeing his plate still untouched she

R:''kya hua armaan paranthe ache nahin hain kya?''

She asked and that breaks armaan's trance. He did not say anything just start eating.

R(in her heart):''kitna kuch badal gayya na hum meiin armaan. Ek rat ne aj humein is mod par la diyya hain ki jo insan mere bane hue khane ke peche itna pagal tha ki ose hosh nahin rehta tha. Aaj kha nahin pa raha hain. Sach mein zindagi kahan pahuncha deti hain. Koi nahin jaanta hain. Par mere liye tumhari khushi sabse badi hain. Aur main nahin tut sakti. ''

She said to herself and feeling her eyes welling up, she moved to kitchen. But her hidden tears did not go unnoticed by one person. And he wanted to kill himself for hurting her like anything. Soon riddhima comes back and till that time atul and muskaan too joined them and having their breakfast.

M:''ridzi yar tu na sachi mein super girl hain jaise bhai kehte hain''

At:''yea riddhima muski is right itni thakavat (tiredness) ke bad bhi tune sab kar liya great''

They praised her and riddhima just smiled at them. Then they heard karan who finished his breakfast as

K:''rhea itnein ache parantho ke bad agar kuch meetha bhi ho jaaye tou''

R:''yes uncle aab itni badi khushi ke din hain after all mere best friend kii sagai hui hain so kuch meetha tou banta hain so armaan tumhari favourite kheer here''

She said as she served everyone Kheer but armaan just pushed the bowl saying

A:''sorry riddhima mera man nahin hain.''

He said and just moved from there. But two pair of eyes just looked at his retreating back.

A:''nahin riddhima main ab Kheer nahin khaunga kyunki mujhe sirf tumhare haath ki kheer pasand hain. Aur mera dill bhi nahin manega kisi aur ke haath ki kha kar. Meri galati hain maine hi tou tumhe khud se dur kiya hain. Sorry''

After the breakfast made by riddhima, muskan and atul left to their room to get freshen up as per nandini's instructions. And nandini went to settle the gifts of last night while karan called riddhima in the garden as for their regular chit chat. And as karan is talking with riddhima over the special riddhima made cup of tea. Riddhima for the first time in her life is not at all listening to her karan uncle. She just replying in monosyllables. Her mind is not set so as her heart. And her gaze fell on Him as they were sitting on terrace. And he is there standing in the garden. She feels her heart skipped a beat seeing him, he is looking so handsome in his white shirt and pants. But his smile is missing. And she can still gets drown in his deep blue eyes. His dimples was not there and she so wanted to hug him. And wants to tell him whatever is troubling him will be alright. But she can't and then her mind scold her.

R(her mind):''yeh galat hain riddhima, ab tujhe ose aisa dekhne ka koi haq nahin hain. Yeh galat hi nahin maryada (morals) ke bhi against hain vo kisi aur ka hain.''

Her mind reminds her and her heart bleeds with this. And at the same time he looked upwards and their eyes met with each other. And they showed immense emotions in them which are just unsaid. Then she break the eye lock knowing it is wrong. And now it will make her cry too.

Then her heart takes decision that is right at this moment for everyone. She then turned her face to Karan Uncle and gives him smile.

R:''uncle''

K:''han rhea'

R:''uncle main soch rahi thi abhie ghar chali jaun''

She said making karan surprised.

K:''kyun rhea aisa kyun. Har bar tou ap apni vacations yahin spend karte ho na exams ke bad.''

He said as riddhima used to live most of her vacations at Mallik House.

R:''ji uncle actually na bat sirf yeh hain ki nikki ki shadi aa rahi hain. So apko pata hain she needs my help na''

She said making an excuse and karan looked at her.

K:''han beta you are right. So ap log sab saath mein ja sakte hain shopping and all ke liye yahan bhi tou armaan ki by Info"> Shaadi hain na''

He said and hearing armaan's marriage her heart breaks in pieces. How she told him that this is the reason of her going from here.

R:''yea uncle you are right. Par yahan tou choti ma ki help ke liye muski aur mom donow hain aur atul bhi hain. Par vahan nikki is alone na uncle, ab muski yahan busy rahegi tou. Kam se kam nikki ki ek dost tou oske saath ho. Isliyye uncle I want to go home. Ji par agar ap nahin kahoge tou main nahin jaungi, I will mange from here only''

She ended thinking may be uncle will accept this. And karan looked at her, she is sweetheart.

K:''ap thek keh rahi hain rhea beta. Par meri bhi ek condition hain''

He said and riddhima sighed in relief, as uncle agreed. She never think that one day comes that she will find excuse to go from Mallik Mansion, but that's what you call destiny.

R:''ji uncle anything for you''

K:''nikki ki shadi ke bad you will spend your time here bolo manzur''

He said and riddhima knows she can't come here but still she said "Yes"

R:''ji uncle''

K:''yeh hui na meri partner vali bat''

He said and hugged her and riddhima wiped her tear that is in her eyes. They are unaware that one pair of eyes that is watching them. And her heart wrenched too seeing her pain too.

As karan asked riddhima that she can leave in evening. She agreed and now she comes downstairs as karan uncle got busy in his phone. As she reached downstairs. And as she passed from the living room she saw choti ma still settling the gifts. So she thought to help her out.

R:''choti ma main kuch help karun''

She asked as she went near her and nandini smiled looking at her.

N:''nahin rhea sab ho gaya beta. Tu rehne de vaise bhi subh se tu hi lagi hui hain na bacha''

R:''are nahin choti ma I am fine ap batayiye kya karna hain''

N:''janti hain rhea kabhi kabhie mera dill karta hain ki main tujhe humesha humesha ke liye apnein pas rakh lun, apni bana kar rhea''

She said in all the emotions caressing her face and making riddhima shocked.

R:''ji''

And seeing her questioning gaze nandini realized what she has said.

N:''rhea actually''

But to her luck she is saved by muskaan as she entered.

M:''mom riddhima dekho kal ki engagement ki picture''

She said coming with a happy smile on her face.

N:''kya pictures aa bhi gaye?''

M:''nahin mom actually Sanjay ne mujhe 2-3 pics whats app kari hain see.''

She said handling her phone to her mom. And then she leaned over her.

M;'''mom bhai aur bhabhi kitne ache lag rahein hain na. Kyun riddhima''

She asked and riddhima just did not dared to look at the phone. But she forced a smile and speaks up.

R:''yea bilkul acha choti ma, muski main abhi ayi''

She said and before they can stop her she runs away from there. Nandini sighed seeing her she knows she is hurt but she can't do anything.

Riddhima comes in her room and her eyes are filled with tears. Then she just wiped her tears controlling herself,

R:''nahin riddhima control kar. Tu abhi kamzor nahin pad sakti hain, yahan par tou bilkul bhi nahin. Kisi ko zara sa bhi pata chala na tere dard ke bare mein, tou bahut badi problem ho jayegi. Nahin riddhima bas kuch der ki bat hain. Oske bad tou tu chali jayegi na. Tou bas riddhima sabki khushi ke liyye. Mujhe khud ko sambhalna hoga. Han I can do it''

Then wiping her tears she just grabbed her hand bag and get some stuff in it. The stuff is one photograph of her and him. That photo is His favourite one. And he is the only one that get it framed. She has lots of memories with this picture. It was one of their trips, that time they go to Panchgani. And after enjoying the day, they played truth and dare. Riddhima gets dare to wear a sari and has to dance on it by abhi. And the thing is she never wore sari. But she is Riddhima Gupta so she go to complete the challenge. Somehow she draped the sari around her figure. Armaan is eagerly waiting for her as he knows she will be nervous. She don't know how to wear a sari. So as soon he saw her coming wearing a sari. He looked at her she is looking breath taking but her all attention is in managing her sari. Armaan smiled and seeing her small steps, he quickly gets up and forwarded his hand in front of her. And that followed by the dance between both of them. And that was the moment when nikki captured it and from the time it was his favourite one. And she asked him the reason for umpteenth time but he did not answer.

She smiled remembering the sweet memories. But now there is no need of this one here. So she picked it and placed in her hand bag. She then moved outside to spend sometime with everyone before leaving.

In evening

Riddhima is leaving for her home while everyone there is bidding bye to her.

At:''riddhima vaise we are allowing you to go early but next time we are not''

He said and riddhima smiled and hugged him while nodding.

M:''tu ja main nikki ki help bhi karne aungi thek hain see you soon''

She said and riddhima hugged her friend. Then she bends and touched nandini's feet and nandini blessed her.

Na:''dill nahin karta riddhima tujhe bhejne ka. Par apna khayal rakhna aur jaldi ana tujhse mile bina chain nahin padta''

Riddhima hugged her choti ma and cried on her shoulder. Then she touched her karan uncle's feet when he stopped her.

K:''partner remember you promise''

Riddhima just nodded softly then he hugged her.

K:''armaan ja riddhima ko drop karke aa''

He said and both riddhima and armaan looked at each other. Armaan opened the passenger door for her. Then suddenly muskaan speaks up.

M:''armaan bhai ap kaise ja sakte hain. Ap ko tou sanjana bhabhi ke sath dinner par jana hain na''

She said and armaan looked at her prepelaxed.

A:''dinner? maine kab kaha''

M:''are apnein nahin kaha but she called me and I said yes''

And that makes armaan infuriated so he just blasted.

A:''kis se puch kar han kaha tumne. Had hoti hain har cheej ki, meri apni koi rai (opinion) hain bhi ya nahin''

He said and everyone was shocked seeing his anger.

M:''bhai but maine tou bas apke liye''

A:''leave it muskaan I can decide what I need or not''

He said again in rage then riddhima puts her hand on his shoulder.

R:''its ok armaan osne tumhare liye hi kiya na. Calm down tum jao main tou apnein ap bhi chale jaungi''

She said and her soothing voice and his anger that is on high pitch, comes on zero level in a second.

A:''nahin riddhima I will drop you. Main sanjana ko call kar dunga''

R:''nahin armaan tumhari kal hi sagai hui hain acha nahin lagta hain so please hain na uncle''

She deliberately said karan's name so that he can't escape from it.

K:''han armaan rhea is right. Tum jao sanjana ke saath. Rhea tumhe atul drop kar dega. Main ata par meri meeting hain''

R:''uncle ap bhul rahein hain atul ko presentation dena hain os meeting mein. So its ok guys I am big girl I can go by myself.''

She said and everyone looked at her and they knows she is right so nobody argued. As they knows riddhima will not let anyone suffer.

R:''ok then but uncle can I borrow your car?''

K:''pagal sab tera hi tou hain''

He said and kissed her for head and riddhima thanked him.

R:''thank you uncle and bye everyone''

She said and armaan then handled her the keys of his BMW car.

R:''armaan yeh''

A:''ise le jao riddhima''

And sensing the seriousness she just nodded and then left from there not sparing a glance to him. And she looked teary eyes on Mallik Mansion as she is going for for ever. She has tears in her eyes as she left her life's big part here. Everyone left back and she just started alone.

As everyone moved inside its only nandini and armaan there. When nandini puts her hand on his shoulder calling him.

N:''armaan''

A:"mom ab vo kabhi nahin ayegi yahan maine oske dill ke tukde kar diyye mom.''

M:''sanjana bhabhi ap ridzi se puchiye na is se behtar bhai ki choice kisi ko nahin pata''

R:''nahin muski his taste has changed now''

She said looking at him. And her words and her eyes pierced his heart.

R:''nahin nikki mujhse aur nahin saha jata hain. Main bhi insan hun''

She breaks down in her arms. He looked at her helplessly.
