Chapter 1
She stepped down from the train, holding her luggage in both her hands.
She was new to the town, and hence she knew nobody....except him. It was her promise to him that had brought her here, The promise she made to him 8 months ago.....
~~~~~~
"Armaan, do you really have to go?" Ridhima was trying hard to fight back tears, but they flowed freely. She held both his hands firmly in hers, refusing to let go. The love of her life, Armaan, was going away from her...without any promise to return in near future.
"Ridhima, there is no other way....my Dad is seriously ill, and he has no one in this world except me....I can't turn a blind eye my to responsibility Ridhima......I can't" He looked at her with helpless eyes....hoping that she would understand. It was paining him to leave her like this, but life had landed him in a situation where he could simply not avoid his responsibility. His dad, had cancer...it had reached its second stage....and he needed to be taken care of...he needed his son.
Ridhima reluctantly nodded, "I understand Armaan...but atleast you could tell me when you..." she trailed off as she saw Armaan softly shaking his head....She understood that he could not make a promise....she realized that this may be their last moment together....
Ridhima broke down and buried herself in his arms...She sobbed violently as Armaan rubbed her back.....he was crying too....he hugged her even more tightly, trying to convey his feelings through that hug...
After an eternity, they broke apart as Armaan cupped her face between his palms, "But Ridhima, I want you to promise me something..." He continued as she nodded, "I can't come back to you because my responsibilities don't allow me to.....but if I call you within 8 months, will you come?.......and if I don't, I want you to live happily ever after " she opened her mouth to say something, but he cut her off, "Please Ridhima, I need you to be happy....please" He pleaded. She looked at him for a long moment and then softly nodded...He smiled weakly, and then hugged her again....
~~~~~~
So here she was, in Delhi....He had called her and asked her to come....Tears had stinged her eyes when she heard his voice after such a long time....She wanted to ask so many questions, but he had cut off the conversation by saying, "I'll tell you everything once you come here...."
She looked around frantically and desperately, to find him in the crowd of millions....She went to a nearby bench and kept all her luggage there....and then was about to turn around again to find him....but her eyes caught something, she turned back to see him standing at a distance, with a smile on his face. Her face curved into a smile at his sight, and she was running to him in no time....he enveloped her in a rib-crushing hug, as they stood ther hugging each other for an eternity, unaware and unyielding to the curious glances. Unconciously, tears formed in their eyes and rolled down their cheeks.
They finally broke apart, Armaan joined their foreheads together, "Ridhima....Only I know how these 8 months have passed....I missed you everyday Ridhima....every moment...."
Ridhima looked up at him, "I missed you too Armaan, beyond words.....but I knew you would call, I had faith in you....and our love..."
He smiled and hugged her again....Ridhima broke apart as a question struck her mind, "Armaan.....your Dad...?"
He smiled, "He's fine Ridhima...It took alot of time and it was painful for him too, but we got through....your love was my strength Ridhima..." He said as he interwined their fingers...
Ridhima put her head on his shoulder as he put his arm around her....They picked up her luggage and walked out of the station, never to be seperated again.......

I was inspired to write this scene by this song, "Kaise Mujhe" from the film Ghajini....Here is the song:
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc80BiRMczE[/YOUTUBE]
Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi,
Kismat pe aaye naa yaakeen,
Utar aayi jheel mein jaise chand utarta hai kabhi,
Haule haule dheere se,
Gunguni dhoop ki tarah se taranum mein tum,
Choo ke mujhe guzari hu yu,
Dekhu tumhe ya mein sunu,
Tum ho sukoon, tum ho junoon,
Kyu pehle naa aayi tum?
Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi, hoo hoo..
Kismat pe aaye naa yaakeen, hoo hoo..
Mein to yeh sochta tha ki aaj kal,
Upar wale ko fursat nahi,
Phir bhi tumhe bana ke woh,
Meri nazar mein chadh gaya,
Rutbe mein woh aur badh gaya..
Aaaa..aaaaa'
Aaaa..aaaa'.
Hoo..hoo'hooo..
Badle raaste jharne aur nadi,
Badli deep ki timtim,
Chedhe zindagi dhun koi nayee,
Badli barkha ki rimjhim,
Badlengi rituyein adaa,
Par mein rahungi sada,
Ussi tarah teri bahon mein baahein daalke,
Har lamha, har pal..
Aaaa..aaaaa'
Aaaa..aaaa'.
Zindagi sitar ho gayi,
Rimjhim malhaar ho gayi,
Mujhe aata nahi kismat pe apni yakeen,
Kaise mujhko mili tum..
Kismat pe aaye naa yaakeen,
Utar aayi jheel mein jaise chand utarta hai kabhi,
Haule haule dheere se,
Gunguni dhoop ki tarah se taranum mein tum,
Choo ke mujhe guzari hu yu,
Dekhu tumhe ya mein sunu,
Tum ho sukoon, tum ho junoon,
Kyu pehle naa aayi tum?
Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi, hoo hoo..
Kismat pe aaye naa yaakeen, hoo hoo..
Mein to yeh sochta tha ki aaj kal,
Upar wale ko fursat nahi,
Phir bhi tumhe bana ke woh,
Meri nazar mein chadh gaya,
Rutbe mein woh aur badh gaya..
Aaaa..aaaaa'
Aaaa..aaaa'.
Hoo..hoo'hooo..
Badle raaste jharne aur nadi,
Badli deep ki timtim,
Chedhe zindagi dhun koi nayee,
Badli barkha ki rimjhim,
Badlengi rituyein adaa,
Par mein rahungi sada,
Ussi tarah teri bahon mein baahein daalke,
Har lamha, har pal..
Aaaa..aaaaa'
Aaaa..aaaa'.
Zindagi sitar ho gayi,
Rimjhim malhaar ho gayi,
Mujhe aata nahi kismat pe apni yakeen,
Kaise mujhko mili tum..
