Chapter 3
SORRY...couldn't let you go!
A Main vaada karta hu ki main humesha Riddhima ke saath rahunga, aur usko har dukh se dur rakhunga. Uski zindagi khushiyon se bhar dunga, aur us par ek kharoch tak nahi aane dunga.
This was the promise made by a husband for his wife. She looked up at him as he had held her hand and his eyes depicted that he meant each and every word that he had just uttered to her father as he was taking her away as his bride forever.
This here is the story of Mr and Mrs Armaan Mallik. It's about a love+arranged marriage. Confused Well let me clear it then, it was love marriage for Armaan but arranged marriage on her side. He had fallen irrevocably for her just at the very first sight. He knew he ultimately wanted to marry her and only her but before that he wished he could know her spend some time with her, but unfortunately his parents were all set to get him married to some family friend's daughter. So he had no other choice but to directly come out with the truth that he loved Riddhima and then the very next day Billy and Ananya Mallik(his parents) were off to her place to ask for her hand. To his luck even she answered affirmatively and the marriage was fixed. They got to know each other in the next few days, but he could see that it was really too soon for her so he had promised himself to give her all the space that she needed. As for him she was willingly marrying him was only a big reason to be all happy and satisfied.
Both of them sat in the car to start their journey, one was the car journey which would end as they reached home, but the other was one which started from there, their married life journey!
Ye lo Riddhima apne aansoon poch lo. It's all going to be fine...and don't worry main vaada karta hu ki tumhe is tarah aansoon bahane ka 1 bhi mauka nahi dunga, iske baad har din tum sirf muskuraogi, khush rahogi I promise!
Thanks Armaan. She smiled at him and just then she murmured to herself,
Thank you very much Armaan. Kyunki tum yakenan meri zindagi khushaal bana doge par I am sorry kyunki ab tumhari zindagi ka sabse boora waqt shuru hota hai Mr.Mallik! Get ready for your worst time.
Flashback;
Riddhima was a simple and bubbly girl. She just had her dad(Mr.Shashank Gupta) the famous business tycoon and her nani by her side in her family. Other than these two a very dear and near person in her life was Ishika; Ishika Saxena. Her best friend cum sister. She had always been there for her from childhood and she was the only person she trusted on after her dad and nani. Ishika had done a lot fot Riddhima, she had always been her moral support and she was nothing less than an elder sister for Riddhima. But for some weird and unknown reasons both of them(her dad and nani) disliked Ishika a bit; but she cared less.
When the marriage proposal had come Riddhima had instantly liked him and she wanted to tell Ishika about all this but she was out of India and she couldn't contact her. The very next day Armaan and his family came over and that one meeting made her realise that he actually was a very genuine and nice guy. His every gesture and specially his eyes showed sincerity; something about him attracted her strongly. And when he said that he had fallen in love with her at the first sight she could see that he meant his each word. She wanted to have a talk about it with Ishika but had no reason to say no to him. So she had instantly said yes and was quite happy about her decision too.
But that happiness lasted only for few hours till she met Ishika, coz as soon as Ishika saw his photo she was shocked and told him that she knew him very well as he was the same guy whom she loved with all her might. Riddhima knew that just few months back Ishika was in love with a guy but she was betrayed badly and she was depressed to such an extend that she had even tried to commit suicide. Riddhima was stunned by the revelation . She did not want to believe her but she trusted her enough and she also did remember him saying that she wasn't the first girl in his life. He had told her everything about him but had also frankly confessed that he had never ever loved any other girl than her; and somewhere his honesty had been a great reason for her aproval of marriage.
R Main abhi jaakar Papa ko sab sach bata dungi; aur is rishte ke liye mana kar dungi. I will make sure ki vo is sabki saza bhukte. She was shattered but she knew she had to do it so she started walking out when Ishika stopped her;
I Nahi Riddhima tu kahi nahi jaayegi, aur naahi toh ye shaadi rukegi.
R Par Ishika uski vajah se tu...
I Riddhima agar tu vakai mujhe acha dost, apni badi behen ki tarah maanti hai aur mujhpe yakeen karti hai toh... toh tu usse shaadi kar le.
R Whatt Tu jaanti bhi hai tu kya keh rahi hai Ishika
I Please meri baat sun Ridz, you know I was about to kill myself just for this guy. Aur ab main ise acha khasa sabak seekhana chahti hu. Usne mera mazaak banaya tha, toh ab main uski zindagi ka mazaak banana chahti hu. Yahi uske liye sabse badi saja hogi Riddhima. Is liye tu is shaadi ke liye mana mat kar. I promise you once I teach him a lesson main sab theek kar dungi.
R Ye tu kya bol rahi hai Ishika How can I ... I mean... ye meri bhi zindagi ka sawaal hai Ishika... mera matlab shaadi...
I Riddhima please mujhpe bharosa rakh, I promise you kuch galat nahi hone dungi main. Bas ek baar use sabak seekha du, phir main sabse baat kar lungi aur tere liye bohooot acha ladka dhund nikalungi, par please mana mat kar... Tujhe meri kasam Ridz!
Riddhima had always being in debt of Ishika as she was being such a good friend and now that she had given her own sware Riddhima had no other choice. But afterall it was her life how could she...but then again a thought crossed her mind that he had aftrall destroyed Ishika's life. And he deserved all this as because of him she had almost lost her friend. So forgetting all goods and bads she was in for the plan, even keeping all her happiness at stake!
Flashback ends.
And now here she was at present ready to destroy his life. As they entered his house she was welcomed by his mom and dad with a huge smile plastered on their faces. His elder brother Rahul and his wife Muskaan seemed really happy for him too. Ananya welcomed her with the thal and told her to step into the dish filled with alta and walk into the house. He held her hand instantly as she got a bit unbalanced while doing so. She could feel an unknown sensation in her body, but any ways ignoring it she did the needful.
As she was sitting amongst everyone she could see their happy faces pulling each other's legs and all chirpy atmosphere. Somewhere deep in her heart the guilt stirred, but then as she remembered Ishika's face she turned back to look at Armaan and found him smiling down at her. His eye held something very strong which she couldnot decipher but with great efforts she finally looked away not letting her determined plan fall weak.
A Kya hua Riddhima Everything okay
R Huh...Haan I am fine.
Mu Arey arey devar ji, kya khusur phusur ho rahi hai hume bhi toh bataiye!
Ra Haan Armaan, kya chal raha hai dono main chup chup ke Arey bhai thoda sa sabar kar lo, bas thodi der main kamre main jaane hi wale ho na, tab tak control your emotions yaar.
A Bhai please. Main toh bas usse pooch raha tha if she is fine.
Mu Ohh...abhi se patni ki itni chinta! Not bad Armaan. Vaah kya pyaar hai.
How Riddhima wished all this was real and she could actually get such a married life with an amazing family, but for now that wasn't possible. How she wished only if Armaan had not done so bad with Ishika she had be able to enjoy everything from her heart. Unknowingly a lone tear trickled down and Armaan instantly noticed that.
Hey Riddhima...kya hua Tum theek toh ho
Mu Arey hum toh bas mazaak kar rahe the, tum bura man gayi...we are very sor...
R Arey nahi nahi bhabhi vo toh...bas mujhe ghar ki yaad aa gayi thi...isi liye.
An Chalo bacho, bohot masti mazaak ho chuka, vo bechari thak chuki hogi. Chalo ab use aaram karne do. Muskaan jaao Ridhima ko uske kamre tak chod aao.
Now as she entered the room and saw all the decorations the nervousness crept into her veins slowly. Ofcourse how could she forget about all this, she had very willingly accepted the task of making his life a hell for the sake of Ishika, but what about their life behind these 4 walls! How was she going to handle that huge sensitive issue at her hand All the colour from her face drained out in seconds.
Mu Arey kya hua...Don't worry Riddhima, I know tum bohot nervous hogi, afterall it's such an important night of every girl's life. Par tum tension mat lo, Armaan na kaafi understanding types hai. I am sure vo sab sambhaal lega. You know main humesha Rahul se kehti thi; he is the best husband anyone could ever get and now you are that lucky one. She took her to the bed and made her sit in the centre, relax okay. Mujhe poora yakeen hai Armaan tumhe achi tarah samjhega. So...fikar not. Chalo ab achi si smile do. Come on... her words actually helped her a little bit so she smiled lightly.
Muskaan adjusted her dupatta properly on her head,
Chalo ab main chalti hu mera yaha ka kaam ho gaya ab tumhare pati dev se thodi bohot khaatir dari bhi toh karva lu khud ki.
Armaan walked up to the room and as he reached the door Muskaan and Rahul popped out of nowhere blocking his way.
Mu Arey arey ruko jara, thodi der humare saath bhi baatein kar lo.
Ra Haan yaar Armaan kitne din ho gaye tune mujhse theek se baat hi nahi ki, shaadi ke chakkar main tu toh mujhe bhool hi gaya hai.
A Stop it guys, cut the crap and come out straight. Meri taang kheenchna choodo aur bolo what you guys want
Both Rahul and Muskaan hooted at the same time,
M Ohhh Someone's getting very impatient haan! Chal theek hai hume bhi teri Riddhima ko itna intezaar nahi karvaana chahiye ab; toh tu hume...umm...she looked at Rahul and after some ishaare both nodded their head and said; haan bas hume 25000 de de aur phir you are free to go.
A 25000 Are you guys crazy 25000 kis liye
M Arey neg hai, tujhe nahi pata kya Behen ka hak hota hai!
A But mere paas itna cash nahi hai, you see main apni shaadi se aa raha hu, aaj salary giving day toh nahi tha na so I wasn't prepared...aur bhai what's wrong with you, aap ko toh mere side pe hona chahiye na!
Ra You see insaan ko situation ke hisaab se apne aap ko badalna chahiye; yahi is zindagi ka rivaaz hota hai mere bhai, he said getting all melodramatic.
A Ya ya whatever...but I seriously don't have that much right now, so can we skip this for now
M uhuh...bilkul nahi. Tere paas abhi jitne hai utne dede. We believe in installments so baaki ke tujhse baad main kisi tarah nikalva hi lenge don't worry.
As he realised there was no way out he finally removed all the cash he had and handed it over to them.
M Chal chal tu bhi kya yaad rakhega...itne main hi chod dete hai aaj ke liye. Ab jaa jaldi, varna vo bechari akeli boredom ke maare so naa jaye. Bina vajah bechari ko intezaar karva raha hai huh kitni baatein karta hai tu... she huffed and went away as if it was all his fault.
A Arey ye toh...
Ra Chal na ab bato main aur time jaya mat kar, jaa best of luck. Saying so he pushed him inside the room and Armaan just kept looking at his retreating figure unbelievably. As he locked the door and turned around he found her standing near the bed looking at him with a blank face.
Ab main kya karu... is situation se kaise bahar niklu Kya kahungi isse...i can't let him near me, but how do I stop him
Kya hua Riddhima aise kyun khadi ho
Huh...umm...vo main... he started walking towards her and she started walking backwards. She was tongue tied and her brain too stopped working as he stepped closer and closer. Her brain was shouting to do something but out of nervousness her vocal cords had like stopped functioning. He moved one more step closer and she shut her eyes tightly and gripped her lehenga tightly in her fist; he smiled at her state and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
You look beautiful Riddhima! The most amazing bride I have seen till date, and see my luck, you are my bride,all mine now! She opened her eyes and stared back into his deep dark eyes forgetting all her mottos for a while. But that eye lock ended pretty soon as he stepped back,
Okay you really do look amazing in this outfit and I wouldn't mind seeing you in it for like forever, par I know ki dress kaafi heavy hai. Tum bohot uncomforatble feel kar rahi hogi; so you go and change. Tumhe bohot neend bhi aa rahi hogi; such an hectic day.
Umm...haan...main abhi aayi. She almost ran to the washroom and locked herself. But she was hell confused by his behaviour;
Ye itni achi tarah se behave karta hai; iski har baat se toh lagta hai jaise kitni kadar hai ise, is rishte ki, mere feelings ki, toh phir ye itne boora kaise kar sakta hai Ishika ke saath Bhabhi bhi iski itni tareef karti hai; toh phir aakhir ye hai kya Uski vo baatein; chote chote gestures are so confusing. Kya ye sach main itne achi tarike se pretend kar sakta hai sab kuch I think I should straight away tell him that I am not ready for all this...pata nahi kyun mujhe aisa lagta hai ki he won't do something without my consent. Usne Ishika ke saath bohot galat kiya hai but for some reason uski aankhein...it seems like he is being always sincere with me...Nahi Riddhima don't fall for his tricks...I am sure he can pretend all this so well, Aise hi toh usne Ishika ko bhi cheat kiya hoga. Tujhe bas apne plan par dhyaan dena hai Riddhima! She changed quickly and went out with a determined mind set.
Armaan main... She stopped midway as she saw him making a pillow barrier on the bed.
Hey tumne change kar liya. Come, let's sleep, main toh bohot thak gaya hu ye itne saare functions, traditions!
Umm...ye...she was all the more confused by his act now,
Haan vo...i know you won't be comfortable to share your space with me soo soon. I mean, main toh pehli nazar main hi tumse pyaar kar baitha aur ye sab itni jaldi ho gaya, par is sab main tumhari toh koi galti nahi hai na. Main samjhta hu ki tumhe waqt chahiye hoga adjust karne ke liye; we never got time ki hum theek se baithke baatein bhi kar sake. So lets take it slowly, don't worry you can take as much time as you wish. Actually main couch pe hi so jaata, par it's very small for my height toh...
Umm...nahi. It's okay. Tum yahi so jao. She did not know why she said that but now that she had she couldnot back out. And however strange though but she knew; she just knew that he won't cross his limits. By now since her brain had given up after all the confusions and her body was also hell tired so she just slept without thinking anymore.
As the first day she was now supposed to prepare something sweet for everyone she went down and made gajar ka halwa for sweet and rest was the usual paranthas and sanwiches. She was almost done when Ananya and Muskaan entered the kitchen;
An arey vaah, ho gaya halwa tayyar Khushbu toh bohot achi aa rahi hai.
R Jee aunty; its almost ready.
An Arey kaun aunty Tum mujhe aunty kyun bula rahi ho Main jaise Armaan ki mom hu usi tarah tumhari bhi mom hu samjhi! Khabardaar jo doobara mujhe aunty kaha!
Riddhima smiled as she scolded her sweetly and said; Jee aun...i mean mummyji.
Hmm Good. Before she could check on her halwa Billy called her and she had to go. Muskaan also was going out when Riddhima opened the lid and was about to add kaaju.
M Arey Riddhima ruko. Vo Armaan ke liye alag se bina kaaju ka halwa nikaal dena; varna vo nahi kha paayega.
R Kyun bhabhi use kaaju pasand nahi
M Nahin vo use kaaju...her phone started ringing and she excused herself.
R Hmm toh Mr.Armaan Mallik ko kaaju bilkul pasand nahi. Yeh toh bohot achi baat hai.
Everyone gathered on the table for breakfast and Riddhima served everyone happily. Even though she had plans for him but she always adored his family. She loved spending time with all of them; doing things for them, and she was doing everything happily. Everyone couldn't stop praising her as they had the breakfast made by her . Now as it was time for sweet dish Armaan got a call and he excused himself; so Ananya told her to take it to the room itself. As he was done with his call she handed him the bowl and he looked at it for a minute and then at her. She understood that he was probably thinking of not having it looking at the cashewnuts so she instantly said;
Kya hua Armaan Please khao na, maine pehli baar kuch banaya hai after coming here. So pleasekhao na, and tell me how is it
Riddhima...actually vo...mujhe kaaju se...
Tch...Armaan kya hua Itna kya soch rah ho just taste it na... mai hi tumhe khila deti hu wait. She purposely took the spoon and tried to feed him as she knew that he couldn't deny now, but as she took the spoon to his mouth she found him staring at her and she again lost herself in his eyes. He smiled and took the bite from her.
Its yummy Riddhima. Too good! She came out of her trance and composed herself. Looking at his face she knew something was wrong but thought that maybe it was just because he disliked cashewnuts.
Toh lo khao na, she handed him the bowl and without a word more he started eating it. But after a spoon or two Rahul entered the room and instantly took the bowl away.
Ye tu kya kar raha hai Andha ho gaya hai kya, can't you see usne nuts daale hai usme And Riddhima Muskaan didn't tell you Armaan ko kaaju wala halwa nahi dena
Umm...Haan bhabhi ne bataya tha...vo main...bhool gayi!
Riddhima Armaan ko...Armaan started coughing vigourously and Rahul started rubbing his back all panicked. Riddhima offered water but he denied it.
Ra Nahi Riddhima paani nahi; tum jaldi jaao aur drawer main jo tablets rakhi hai get them quick! By now Armaan had turned completely red and he was choking badly. Riddhima too panicked seeing his state and did what Rahul said. As she got the tablets, Rahul quickly made Armaan have them and soon she could see Armaan relaxed. But she was left confused on the turn of events when rahul turned to her;
Riddhima next time kabhi aisa mat karna; never ever again give him anything of nuts. You know how risky it could have turned out agar main time pe nahi pohochta!
Risky... kyu Mera matlab use toh bas kaaju pasand nahi hai toh phir ye sab...
Nahi ye tumse kisne kaha...Riddhima he is allergic to nuts. Badly allergic. Is liye agli baar please be careful. As soon as he said that guilt washed her and she felt so bad on what she did. She just wanted to do all this as she thought he disliked nuts but it turned out too big. She was left ashamed as she wanted to turn his life upsie down starting with just this small prank from his dislikes but she did not want to do anthing at the cost of his life ever. Armaan could see her all upset so he spoke up.
A Bhai it's okay, I am fine. Use pata nahi tha na isi ...
Ra Tu toh chup hi rahega toh acha hai. Use toh pata nahi tha par tujhe Tu andha ho gaya tha Tujhe toh dikhai de raha tha na ki usme kaaju hai, toh mana nahi kar sakta tha
A Nahi bhai vo...usne pehli baar itni mehnat se kuch banaya tha toh use shayad bura lagta isi liye...Riddhima just kept looking at him as she just couldn't pinpoint why he did that. If he was allergic why didn't he deny. Fine she was being adamant but; afterall it could have been so risky.
Ra Tu paagal hai sachi! Chal chod, ab tu aaram kar le. And Riddhima it's okay relax. I am sure you didn't know isi liye ye sab hua. Its alright hota hai. Bas agli baar yaad rakhna okay
R Hmm.
After somewhile Riddhima was supposed to go home for her pagphera but as everyone came to know about the halwa incident they weren't letting him go along with her.
R Armaan it's okay; mujhe bhi lagta hai you need to rest. Main driver ke saath chali jaaungi. Ek toh pehle hi meri vajah se tumhe...
A Nahi Riddhima. Theres absolutely no fault of yours. Tum toh kuch jaanti bhi nahi thi so its okay. And guys I am all fine now see!
An Haan Riddhima isme tumhari koi galti nahi hai beta, par Armaan Riddhima sahi keh rahi hai tujhe aaram karna chahiye.
M Haan Armaan, chahe toh Rahul use chodne chala jaayega na, tu...
A; nahi bhabhi seriously; I am fine. Aur phir main driver ko lekar jaa raha hu na I am not even driving, so not a big deal. As they still looked not so convinced he looked at Rahul and his dad for help. Somehow they both convinced Muskaan and Ananya and he left with her.
The journey was all quiet as she was still guilty about her deed. However bad he might be but she was wrong too. And his words,"Usne pehli baar itni mehnat se kuch banaya tha toh use shayad bura lagta isi liye" kept ringing in her mind. How was it possible that just so that she doesn't feel bad he was ready to eat it.
As the car halted she turned to him;
I am sorry Armaan.
Riddhima just relax alright; it's nothing. Main theek hu. Just forget all that now and smile come on. Varna tumhare dad sochenge meri beti ka ek hi din main kya haal bana diya in logon ne!
She instantly smiled at that and both of them entered her house. Once Arman left Riddhima was back into her pool of thoughts when Ishika came and hugged her tightly. Both of them sat in Riddhima's room and then Riddhima told Ishika everything but Ishika said that he was just being manipulative and she shouldn't fall for his tricks. He could be good in everyone's eye but that wasn't his trueself .
I Riddhima tu uski baaton main mat aa, use toh pata tha na ki use kaaju se allergy hai toh use saaf mana kar dena chahiye tha, but he didn't it means for sure uske dimaag main kuch chal raha hoga. Tu abhi nai nai hai na toh isi liye vo aise ache se behave kar raha hai, everything is new right now na! Thode din gujar jaayenge phir tujhe pata chalne lagega ki uski asliyat kya hai.
Somehow by the end of the day Riddhima was convinced that since Ishika had been with him in a relationship and also knew him for a longer span than her so she must be knowing him better; also she knew that Ishika wouldn't say something to her that she she wasn't sure about. So now Riddhima returned back to his house with everything set; all small to big things that they had to do to make their plan successful.
Somehow she did not have to put in so much efforts to cancel the honeymoon as to her luck he was a workaholic and he also did not want to go on a honeymoon so soon. But as the days passed she got to know more and more about him, he was very notorious, shameless, flirt but all these in a good way and in limits. She tried her best to make him spill something about Ishika but she never suceeded. But her efforts of teaching him his lesson never stopped; she tried a lot but her futile plans were disappointing her.She just got to know some of his tender's final figures after a lot of mehnat and she was never letting go off this golden opportunity, so she put in her best and leaked the final figures to an opponent company with all hopes of him losing it. She knew this was a big project for him as he had been working day night on it and if he lost it, that would be really an amazing start of his failure. He was getting ready for office when she saw him smiling unusually;
Kya baat hai Armaan aaj kuch jyaada hi khush lag rahe ho
Haan vo aaj final tenders submit hone hai and everything is already set; so I am really happy because ek baar ye deal mil jaaye toh bohot acha hoga. You know I have been working so hard on it! And I am sure ki we will get it.
How can you be so sure Armaan I mean itna over confident hona bhi theek nahi hai na Kya pata kab kya ho jaaye. She smirked as he had absolutely no idea what was up for him.
Ya maybe you are right...but I have a feeling ki we are getting this. Anyways chalo I am getting late see you in the evening okay. Bye, love you! These two words, always stung her. And that sting could be felt daily as he had that habit of saying it as a greeting whenever he would meet her or leave for work, but she never responded.
I know...I know that he doesn't even mean it aur mujhe bhi koi farak nahi padna chahiye uski is baat se toh phir mujhe ye baat itni chubti kyun hai Agar vo bina matlab ke hi ye kehta bhi hai toh kya Mujhe kyun bura lagta hai if he says it but doesn't mean it. Shayad mujhe sochna hi nahi...par I can't even stop myself from thinking. She was angry on herself as she couldn't stop thinking about this small thing, she just chucked her thoughts somehow and tried to be happy that she was about to see his failure not a big one though but something was always better than nothing! She went and started making kheer with a hope of getting a news soon from him.
It had been 6 pm and there was no sign of Armaan, Rahul or Billy. As she thought about the latter two she felt a little bad as she never wanted to hurt them as Rahul was being like her brother by now and Billy was her father. She felt weird that the person because of whom she got these beautiful realtions could never have a place in her heart and because of him today she was about to hurt them too, but she knew that they would maybe just feel bad as it was just a matter of one deal for them so it would be like another bad luck for them but knowing Armaan she was sure it would be a big blow to his ego as he himself had set everything and was pretty much sure about getting the deal. Around 7 Armaan was back and Riddhima who was busy talking to Muskaan instantly walked upto him as he slumped down on the sofa.
Kya baat hai Ridzi, patidev aaye nahi ki tum toh apni bhabhi ko bhool hi gayi.
Umm nahi bhabhi aisi koi baat nahi hai, vo...thoda thaka hua lag raha hai na...toh isi liye.
Theek hai theek hai ab bahane mat bana main sab samjhti hu.
R Armaan kya hua Tumhari meeting kaisi rahi Tumhe deal mil gayi right
A Please yaar Riddhima mujhe abhi is baare main koi baat nahi karni and can we please not talk right now. Main bohot thak gaya hu.
M Oye khote aise kyu baat kar raha hai usse Vo bechari itne pyaar se tujhse pooch rahi hai aur tu use dur bhaga raha hai; sharam nahi aati tujhe
A Bhabhi please main bas thoda...
An Armaan Muskaan bilkul sahi keh rahi hai, tu aise kyun baat kar raha hai usse Chal maafi maang usse. Abhi!
He sighed to calm himself and then looked at her;
I am sorry Riddhima. I am just upset about something isi liye. She finally got to hear what she was waiting to hear since morning but his eyes did not let her enjoy the moment. The pain that they held hurt her and she hated herself for that. She was supposed to be happy but she just couldn't be! She just pretended to not know anything;
R Kyu, kya baat hai Armaan Before he could say anything Rahul and Billy entered the house,
Ra Kuch nahi Riddhima, bas kuch office ki baat hai. Chodo na tum paani lekar aaogi please, bohot pyaas lagi hai. Riddhima gave all of them water and got coffee for Armaan and Rahul as Billy went to his room to freshen up. But somehow Armaan was still sulking and frowning and she couldn't understand why but she could not see him like that anymore. So unknowingly she moved towards him and kept a hand on his shoulder;
It's okay Arman ho jaata hai. Zindagi main choti moti haar jeet toh hoti hi rehti hai, what if you lost this one, tum isse bhi profitable deal score kar loge I am sure. She herslef was surprised at whatever she was saying but was even more surprised when she heard Rahul's words,
Arey nahi Riddhima, deal toh hume mil gayi aur milni bhi thi afterall Armaan had been working on it.
R Kya She was shocked out f her wits; that was just not possible. She had herself made sure that the tender was leaked then how
Par ye kaise...umm...mera matlab...ki agar deal mil gayi toh aap dono itne upset kyu ho bhaiyya There was pin drop silence after that question.
Mu Arey bol na Rahul chup kyu hai If you guys got it toh tension kis baat ki hai
Ra Vo...Muskaan...actually the tender was leaked aur...
R Aur kya boliye na bhaiyya
Ra Humare informers ne bataya ki... You were involved in it... Riddhima froze as she knew that everything was over now but yet again she was surprised.
A Par ofcourse we know that is never possible! Bas isi baat par meri thodi behes ho gayi un logon se and my mood was spoilt. I mean how dare they blame you right in front of me Soch bhi kaise sakte hai vo log ki main ya hum main se koi bhi is bakwaas par yakeen kar lega. His face turned red with anger and Riddhima shivered little with fear and more with guilt.
Ra Chill Armaan you know how it works right, kuch galat salat feed kar diya hoga yaar opponents ne in logon ke dimaag main and they must have just given voice to those rumours. Chod na ab toh sab theek hai na.
A haan bhai but still...bas ek baat sahi kahi un sab ne; that Riddhima is responsible for everything! Riddhima instantly looked at him with curiosity. He moved towards her and held her hand in his, Haan Riddhima, tumne hi subah kaha tha na ki I shouldn't be over confident, tumhari vohi baat mujhe yaad aayi office pohochte hi and maine instantly figures change kar diye end moment pe. So it is all thanks to you Riddhima. Thanks a lot. He kissed her forehead and she did not know in what way was she supposed to react. Her whole plan had back fired was already surprising and then he, he was just been soo good to her. He never once doubted her, after all the information that he got even without trying to know anything he defended her! What was she supposed to conclude out of all this One side Ishika's words were ringing in her ears and then today's incident. Her brain was about to burst open in confusion. If he was what Ishika said, how could he be blindly trusting her
She was standing lost in her thoughts when he came and kept his hand on her shoulder. She turned around and he placed a kiss on her head. As he did that she got butterflies in her stomach and she forgot about everything that was going on in her mind just a minute back. This happened a lot these days; previously she kept him at an arm distance from herself but in past 2-4 days his closeness did not bother her; infact it affected her in a strange way. And somehow she also knew that he would not go beyond a kiss on her forehead or hand so she was strangely relaxed around him.
A Riddhima agar tum aaj jo office main hua us baare main soch rahi ho, toh mat socho. Just forget it, trust me jab tak main tumhare saath hu nothing is going to go wrong and since I am going to be with you forever toh tumhe chinta karne ki jarurat hi nahi hai right Haan par 1 bat jaroor hai which I would like to say Riddhima, tum bohot bholi ho and though I am always there for you, kuch aisi baatein ho sakti hai where I can't be of any help; maybe something that you won't be able to share with me, toh vaha pe you need to decide the good and bad for your ownself baby. Main jaanta hu ki tum bohot samajhdar ho, par bohot bholi bhi ho. I just don't want ki tumhara ye innocence koi tumse cheen le. Kyunki main ye kabhi bhi bardasht nahi karunga. But you are the one who would give that right to anyone, toh bas yahi kehna chahta hu ki I trust you completely par tumhe bhi apne aap par; apne dil par humesha trust karna chahiye. Cause humara dil humesha sahi hota hai.
Few more days went by and her plans just kept backfiring; if she tried to make him lose that never broght the desired outcome and if she tried to hurt him emotionally still some or the other way it always hurt her in the end. As he tried to strengthen their bond she tried her best to break it. Whenever he got or did anything for her she simply ignored it or showed no intrest in it, but he accepted all her tantrums with a smile and found some or the other way to make her smile. And these things ultimately hurted her as though she was trying to be heartless towards him, she could never do that. She was falling weak in her plans and had also started falling for him. But she kept denying that fact with her every breath cause she just wanted Ishika's revenge and everything else did not matter for her right now. Also as she had been having a great relation with Ananya, billy, muskaan and Rahul she felt disgusted about her ownself sometimes.
As nothing was working till now, Ishika told her an extreme step now and that was an extra marital affair. He had cheated on her badly so she told Riddhima to follow TIT FOR TAT strategy. She knew very well that Armaan could never tolerate his wife involved with someone else ever. Whether he loved her or not, but no man could take the fact that his wife was cheating on him and she believed that specially when we are talking about Mr. Armaan Mallik he could kill the person but never accept the fact of getting cheated by someone.
R Ishika par ye sab bohot galat hai...kya koi aur tareeka nahi hai...mera matlab...
I Agar ye jaruri nahi hota toh main kabhi tujhse ye nahi karvati na Ridz, please try to understand.
R Par Ishika is sab se bhabhi bhai aur mom dad bhi hurt honge and I don't want to hurt them.
I Once they know the truth they will be fine Ridz and Armaan deserves this, please Ridz abhi kamzor mat pad, just few more days, just if our plan works out tu humesha ke liye is sab se free hogi Riddhima. Just a little more wait.
Riddhima was not at all liking it anymore but since she had promised she couldn't betray her, so she followed the decided plan. The thought that all will be fine in few days and he would be out of her life forever had started eating her. She could understand that she would be upset on going away from everyone else but going away from Armaan shouldn't affect her. But that was, and was affecting her badly indeed. The very nwxt day Ishika called her to meet up. She told her that their plan was all ready to get started with, so she had called her to give her the instructions to begin with the plan.
R Ishika, tumhe lagta toh hai na that all this is going to work. Aur hum kuch galat toh nahi kar rahe na
I Ofcourse not yaar Ridz...chill. Vaise main tujhe kisi se milwana chahti hu, ruk. She called someone and within few minutes a tall well built guy walked towards them.
I This is Abhimanyu. Ye humare plan main humare saath hai. He'll be with us throughout.
R Par Ishika ye hai kaun And why would he help us out
Ab Hello Riddhima. Main batata hu, main Armaan ka business partner hu.
R What Toh phir...
Ab Let me explain, Armaan mera dost hua karta tha but after a while he started istreating me. Vo dost kehlaane ke laayak bilkul bhi nahi hai! He has always been a self centered person, aur usne mujhe bohot buri tarah cheat kiya hai business main. So I just want to show him his place. And so I am here; vo kehte hai na dushman ka dushman dost hota hai...usi vajah se I am helping you guys in your plan. Armaan jaise selfish, heartless, insensitive jerk ko...
R Enough, bas karo. Just enough of your nonsense. She stopped him getting all angry as he spoke about Armaan.
Ab Ohhh...see I told you Miss. Ishika. Ye unki wife hai, and I was pretty sure ki yeh unke khilaaf kaise kuch karenge, ye to uske khilaaf kuch sunne ke liye bhi tayyar nahi hai!
R Nahi...umm...vo I meant...kit um par kaise trust kar sakti hu main. Tum...toh uske dost reh chuke ho.
Ab Well Mrs. Mallik, aapko kya lagta hai, aapne jo tender leak kiya tha uski news Armaan tak kaise pohochi...she looked up at him with wide eyes and found him smirking. Jee haan maine he vo news leak kit hi, but soon I realized that I can instead shake hands with you and move on as hum dono ka hi motive same hai!
R Lekin...
I Ab jyaad asoch mat na Ridz, tu bas haan kar de aur phir dekh. Ek baar everything goes acc. To the plan na toh phir Armaan Mallik will be finished.
Riddhima did not know why but she was feeling uneasy, even when Abhimanyu said all those disrespectful things for Armaan she couldn't stand it. For a few days after her meeting with Ishika she tried to be all rude and annoyed with him so that within few days she could tell him that she was not interested in the marriage and was already commited to Abhimanyu. This was their major plan; but at the end of the day when he came to her with all the concern in his eyes she couldn't go anymore with the plan and told him that she was just been upset about something.
A Riddhima agar koi baat hai toh nujhe batao na, maybe I can help.
R You can't Armaan, tum chaho toh bhi nahi kar sakte meri help. Lekin na chahte hue bhi shayad kabhi meri madad kar jaao. I can't explain anything Armaan, bas leave me alone.
A Vohi toh nahi kar sakta Riddhima! Tum meri biwi ho, tumhe main aise apne aap se laadta hua nahi dekh sakta. But still if you don't want to tell me then it's okay. Par main itna jaroor keh sakta hu ki tumhe aisi koi pareshaani chu hi nahi sakti jiska jawab mera paas na ho, kyunki tum tak har pareshaani ko bhi mujhse gujar kar hi pohochna padega. Main yahi hu Riddhima; jab bhi tumhe lage ki tumhe meri jaroorat hai bas mujhe aawaaz lagane ki deri hai aur main haajir ho jaaunga. He wished her goodnight and as usual kissing her forehead went to sleep.
Knowing the entire truth she was falling for him and she knew that. That made her hate her ownself but she couldn't help it. He was been so humble and understanding with her. At every step he was right next to her, and when needed he had also been right in front of her protecting and defending her from the entire world.
R(thinking) Kya main jo kar rahi hu vo sahi bhi hai Ho sakta hai jo Ishika ke saath hua vo ek misunderstanding ho...ya phir shaayad Armaan tab kuch alag tha aur aaj badal gaya ho. Usne shayad apna sabak seekh liya ho. Agar vo vaisa hi hota jaisa Abhimanyu aur Ishika ka kehna hai, toh vo vaisa dikhai kyun nahi deta. Uski family ki taraf concern, uska apne friends ke saath behavior aur meri har baat ka khaayal, ye sab natak toh nahi ho sakta. Agar vo vakai badal gaya ho toh She was really confused between her heart and mind, hr heart couldn't believe what image Ishika had portrayed about Armaan and her mind told her that maybe Ishika was right and Armaan was just been fake and was pretending the love and care. She did not know what to believe and what to do, so she closed her eyes and followed whatever Ishika said to fulfill her promise.
Riddhima was lost in her own world and was unknown to everything happening around her. She was setting the table for breakfast lost in her dream world, and as she started pouring some coffee in a cup for God knows who; Armaan came from behind calling her. Since she wasn't in her senses his voice brought her out of her revive and the coffee spilled down burning her hand and her leg badly. As she hissed in pain Armaan ran to her and everyone in the house gathered.
A Riddhima I am so sorry. I did not mean to startle you... Chalo lets wash it with cold water.
R Nahi Armaan...rehne do...
Arey aise kaise...just come with me Riddhima!
Nahi Armaan please...bohot jalega...
Kuch nahi hoga just come, as she had burnt her leg too he picked her up and took her to the washroom. Getting a stool he made her sit on it and kept her legs in a tub of cold water. But as she kept denying he himself placed her feet and tears started streaming down her eyes as she hissed in pain. He slowly took her hand and held it below the tap.
A Bas bas ho gaya... He brought her out and made her sit on the bed.
An Par ye kaise hua Riddhima, aur tum theek toh ho na, bohot jyaada jal raha hai kya Bas 2 minute main dawai laga deti hu, phir bilkul theek ho jaayega. She started applying the lotion slowly blowing on her hand to soothen her as she was still groaning due to the pain. Aur Armaan tujhe kya jaroorat thi use itne jor se bulane ki Bechari chauk gayi hogi...
R Nahi maa Armaan ki koi galti nahi hai, vo toh main hi kuch soch rahi thi, apne hi khayaalon main thi isi liy... As soon as she said that God knows what happened that rose Armaan's anger and he snapped immediately;
A Ofcourse it's your fault, tumse maine hazaar baar kaha hai ya toh kaam mat kiya karo ya phir kar hi rahi ho toh kam se kam apna khayal rakhna seekho. Why the hell would you be busy thinking about something stupid while working. I am warning you for the last time Riddhima; either stop thinking this much or else chup chap kamre main baitha karo, par agar doobara tumhari laparvaahi ki vajah se aisa kuch hua toh trust me mujhse boora koi nahi hoga! He walked out of the room all red with anger and nobody could justify his behavior. On the other hand Riddhima started crying even more.
An Shh...chup ho jao Riddhima. Tum ro mat, main use theek karti hu.
Mu Haan Riddhima don't worry. Is Armaan ko toh hum ache se dekh lenge, bina vajah tujh par chilla kar chala gaya.
Later as she sat wondering about Armaan's anger her cell started ringing, she thought to cut the call as she saw Abhimanyu's name flashing but anyways picked the call as she was supposed to meet him.
R Hello I am sorry Abhimanyu par main nahi aa sakti aaj.
Ab I know, par tum theek toh ho na; jyaada toh nahi lagi
R Nahi main...par tumhe kaise pata chala
Ab Riddhima... umm...main sab jaanta hu, afterall it's my duty to keep a watch on your husband, if I really want to beat him. Toh mujhe pal pal ki kharab rakhni padti hai you see!
R Theek hai toh phir...main rakhti hu.
Ab Okay bye, take care.
She thought that he must probably be angry as she was being careless; but whatever the reason maybe she wasn't liking this. She knew he was upset with her and that made her feel uneasy. It was already 6 pm and there was no sign of Armaan yet. Riddhima was already waiting for him as she wanted to talk to him and know why he was upset, but now that he was not back, yet her tension increased. Around & he entered the house and his state made everyone gasp with worry. He had a small band aid on his head and his hand also had a dressing.
Ra Armaan ye kya hua Tujhe ye chot kaise lag gayi
An Kya hua Ammy Ye sab kaise
A Relax guys chota sa accident ho gaya tha mera! Main bilkul theek hu, bas thodi si kharosh aayi hai, otherwise I am absolutely fine.
M Waah kya pyaar hai, ise kehte hai made for each other. Vaha use chot lagi hai toh tu kaise peeche reh sakta tha right Isi liye tune bhi accident karva liya nai He just smiled at her remark and walked away.
Since Riddhima was resting in her room she had no idea about his condition. She was been informed that he was back home but she kept wondering why he wasn't coming to the room. Even she couldn't be going down as she had her leg burnt a little. She thought that now he was not going to come to the room at all, but it wasn't even her fault than why was he angry. And even if he was angry why was she bothered about it She tried her best to not think about it but obviously remained unsuccessful. Later during the dinner her plate was supposed to be taken to the room, she was surprised when he entered the room with her plate as that was least expected, but she was stunned to see his wounds.
R Armaan ye... Ye kya hua Tum theek toh ho, ye chot kaise lagi Aur mujhe kissi ne kuch bataya kyu nahi
A Riddhima...relax main theek hu. Tum ye plate lo aur khaana kha lo.
R Par Armaan ye sab hua kaise
A Kuch nahi bas chota sa accident ho gaya tha. Par main ab bilkul theek hu Riddhima. Don't worry. You have your dinner. He kept the plate and walked to the couch and sat with his laptop working on something. She was taken aback by this as he never behaved this way with her. It hurt her deeply to see him behaving so distantly with her, he made no eye contact and the smile from his face was lost somewhere. She felt like crying hard but she controlled herself. She wasn't supposed to fall for him, she wasn't allowed to love him, that wasn't the plan. But damage had already happened, she was in love with him already, and now that was irrevocable! She wanted to hug him and tell him sorry for whatsoever wrong that she had done to him, she wanted him by her side as always, she wanted to check on his wounds to see if everything was fine. But that wasn't possible for now. Now that she gave it a thought, she realized that just a day of his ignorance and she felt so uneasy and perturbed , so what would happen when he would know the entire truth. How would she then live with his ignorance throughout her life. As that thought crossed her mind a shiver ran down her spine and tears unknowingly spilled out of her eyes. She sat on the bed lost again when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up and found him looking down at her with worry lines on his forehead. He sat down as he saw her crying and held her cheek;
Kya hua Riddhima Tum ro kyu rahi ho Is it paining Main dawai laga du As she felt him close she couldn't hold herself anymore and hugged him tightly.
Armaan...tum din bhar kaha the...maine kitni baar ...call...kiya tumhe...aur tumhe kitni chot bhi lagi hai...I am sorry...tum mujhse naaraz ho main jaanti hu...par tum...
He detangled her and wiped her tears, Shh... Chup, bilkul chup. Koi sorry vorry nahi sunna mujhe. Bas tum khana khalo ab, subah se kuch nahi khaaya tumne, batya mujhe bhabhi ne! Chalo main khaana garam karke laata hu tum chup chap ab vo khaogi samjhi! Before she could retort he went down and came back with heated food. As he made a morsel and was about to feed her she held his hand;
Tum ab bhi mujhse naaraj ho na! Par kyun Armaan, maine toh kuch kiya bhi nahi, toh tum mere saath aise kyun behave kar rahe ho Kam se kam mujhe meri galti toh bata do!
A Riddhima baad main baat karenge tum pehle khaana kha lo...but she simply refused to take the bite so he sighed in defeat,I am sorry Riddhima. Par main kya karta, tum kab se kisi baat ko lekar pareshaan ho and you don't even want to talk to me about it! Tum bas khoi hui rehti ho, aur is chakkar main dekho kya haalat bana li hai tumne apni! I couldn't see you like that aur main kuch kar bhi nahi sakta tha; isi liye tumpar apna frustration nikaal diya. I am really sorry for that.
R Armaan mujhse ye aur nahi hoga...main tumhe aise...please sach sach batana... tum...you really love me Tum humesha mere saath rahoge na
A Tum kya bol rahi ho Riddhima aur ye kaisa sawaal hai Ofcourse I love you, more than anything and everything in this world. Main humesha tumhaare saath rahunga, fir tum chaho ya na chaho! Kissing her forehead he took her in a hug. Her heart said that he should get a chance and she should give him that. Maybe whatever he did was wrong but a wrong deed can never be answered with another wrong deed. She loved him and she could see the same love in his eyes for her too. She had to talk to Ishika asap and tell her to stop all this. They had to give him a chance, though Ishika may think that she ditched her but she couldn't punish him if he was a changed man. And afterall whatever he did in past was past; but for present he was been trustworthy with her. He had given her all the happiness in the world, taken care of her, given love and most important had always trusted and respected her. After all this she couldn't see in her own eyes if she would betray him so badly! He brought her out of her thoughts and fed her with his own hands. After dinner he interwined her fingers with his and kept his hand on a side making her rest her head on his chest so that her hand doesn't get hurt by either of them. The pillow barrier was long forgotten and so was her motive behind the marriage.
The new day began with a new happiness. She followed all his instructions and was also speaking normally with him. Infact he had never seen her smiling so much , the glow on her face was absolutely prominent. He could see that she loved him but was just waiting for something, but it seemed like she was having a huge burden on her heart for many days and now it looked as if not removed though but it had been lightened a little. She called Ishika and asked her if she could meet but she said that she couldn't be coming at her place as she did not want to come face to face with him so soon. And Riddhima wasn't in a state to go out, so she had to wait till she was fine. For coming 2 days Riddhima was under Armaan's care. He not only took care of her but as always also showered her with his love.
Finally after a long wait of 2 days she decided to go and meet ishika. She went away without informing anyone as she knew that nobody would allow her to step out taking her state into conideration. She entered her house and was about to step in when she saw Abhimanyu and overheard Ishika taking her name. And her next line made her stop in her tracks.
I Riddhima toh badi bholi hai isi liye use bewakoof banana aasaan tha, varna Armaan toh kabhi bhi mere saath relationship main nahi tha. He had always treated me as a friend but I loved him. Par jab mujhe pata chala ki vo mujhse pyaar nahi karta I couldn't take it. Maine usse kaha ki I love him and I wanted him par usne meri baat nahi maani, isi liye main ghusse main cheeje bikher rahi thi jab mujhe chot lag gayi. Varna main paagal thodi hu jo us Armaan ke liye suicide karne ki koshish karungi. Infact vo khud mujhe hospital lekar gaya tha he's an emotional fool you know. And when I got to know ki Riddhima is getting married to him I knew that it's perfect time to take my revenge!
Ab Par tumne Riddhima ko ismain involve kyun kiya, like why spoil her life
I Ohh please, she was an only easy target. Use manana kaafi aasan tha isi liye I used her. Vo bhi ek bohot badi emotional fool hai, I knew mere thode rone dhone se baat ban jaayegi. Isi liye I told her to get married. Ab bas ek baar us Armaan ko tumhare aur Riddhima ke baare main pata chal jaaye, fir he will get to know ki mujhe naa kehne ka anjaam kya hota hai. He will get a nice lesson jab Riddhima, jisse vo sabse jyaada pyaar karta hai, use hi vo kho dega.
As she finished she saw Abhimanyu looking behind her with wide eyes. She turned around and was left stunned to see Riddhima. Before she could do or say anything she received a tight slap across her face.
R Maine tumpar itna bharosa kiya aur tum...tumhare ek baar kehne par main apni poori zindagi barbaad karne ke liye tak tayyar ho gayi, Armaan se shaadi ki tumhare liye apne baare main 1 baar bhi nahi socha aur tum. Papa aur nani sahi kehte the, tum kisi ki dost kehlane laayak nahi ho, mujhe pehle hi samajh jaana chahiye tha. Mujhe un dono ki baat maan leni chahiye thi. Main 2 din se soch rahi thi ki pata nahi tumse aakar kaise baat karu; kis muh se tumse kahu ki shayad hume Armaan ko ek mauka dena chahiye, maybe he is not that bad. But you know what, acha hua maine aisa nahi kiya varna tumhara ye ghinona chehra main dekh hi nahi paati.
I How dare you slap me you bi, she raised her hand to slap her but her hand was stopped midway by Abhimanyu.
Riddhima moved out of her house all shocked and surprised, Ishika, her best friend with whom she had been for so many years, who was like an elder sister had played such a disgusting game. She was been used and she felt disgusted about herself as she realized what she was about to do with Armaan. She realized the way she treated him, punished him with no fault of his. He always kept loving her and she always hurt him and only manipulated him. Her cell kept ringing but as she saw Armaan's name she never received it as she did not have any courage to do so. She felt ashamed; guilty. She was walking aimlessly on the street with a carefree attitude. She cared less even if a car would have run through her. She went down the memory lane and remembered all her moments with Ishika and then today's day which showed her true colours of her so called best friend. And then her heart cried as she remembered her moments with Armaan. How he always treated her like a princess, how he took care of her, the way he loved her, protected her. But in return she only played games with him. She stopped abruptly as a car halted straight in front of her and her eyelids shut as the bright headlights hit her eyes. Armaan stepped out of the car and held her shouders;
A where have you being Riddhima Main kitna pareshaan ho gaya tha! Mom dad bhi yaha nahi hai aur tum Bhabhi ya bhai ko bhi kuch bin bataaye hi chali aayi. I have been calling you from so long...Tum...he stopped as he noticed her tear stained face, disheveled state and puffed eyes. He picked her up and taking her to the car, made her sit inside. As they entered their room he placed a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. As soon as he held her face and she looked into his eyes she lost her control on her emotions, all the emotional turmoil was too much to handle now. She just broke down in his arms hugging him tightly and fisting his shirt in her hands. He caressed her head and let her cry on his chest.
R Armaan I am sorry...I am so sorry. Main...main bohot boori hu...par main...main tumse dur nahi...mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha I know par...mujhe maaf kardo Armaan...main sach main tumse...don't leave me Armaan...main mar jaungi tumhaare begair.
A Shh...I know, I know baby relax. He rubbed her back to calm her and detangled her to make her face him, main yahi hu I am not leaving you ever. Hmm Chup...bilkul chup ho jao. Wiping her tears he was about to hold her hand but she hugged him back tightly clinging onto him. She hid her face in his neck;
Main ye aur nahi seh sakti...I need to tell you something...par... usse pehle...Please...aakhri baar...Armaan please mujhe thodi der ke liye aise rehne do, tumhare paas, tumhari baahon main. He let her be for a while. Shant ho jao Riddhima it's alright don't worry. Sab theek hai baby, nothing is wrong. Main hu na tumhare saath.
R Aisa kyun hua Armaan...mere saath hi kyun Main bohot buri hu na...maine tumhare saath humesha galat kiya na...main toh...
Shh...maine kaha na Jaan ab sab theek hai, tum please rona band karo! Aur bas chup ho jao mujhe aur kuch nahi sunna. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, so stop blaming yourself.
Nahi Armaan...main...tum sahi the...i should have known to differentiate between good and bad...tum...I don't deserve you Armaan. Main tumhare laayak nahi hu... She slid down and sat on he floor covering her face crying hysterically. He sat along with her
Enough Riddhima...I said stop.Khabar daar agar iske aage kuch kaha toh. Tum mere liye mera sab kuch ho, khud par ilzaam lagakar tum mujhe aur hurt karogi, so just stop.
Armaan main...mujhe bohot dar lag raha hai...
(Mature content ahead.Read at your own risk)
Kis baat ka dar hai tumhe Yaha mom dad hai, bhai aur bhabhi hai, tumhare dad aur nani bhi tumhare saath hai. Aur main...main toh humesha se tumhare saath raha hu Riddhima, aur humesha rahunga! Jo bhi hota hai ache ke liye hi hota hai. And whatsoever happens, trust me I will always be by your side.She kept staring into his eyes as he held her gaze with his passionate look. She never realized when he reduced the distance between them and sealed her lips with his. She did not respond for a minute but as her brain registered what was happening she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Her hands that pulled him closer by his collar, her heartbeat, her demading lips against him were all proof enough of how badly she needed him right now. He came out of the kiss and was about to get up when she held his hand,
Please Armaan...stay with me...I need you. He wanted to be with her but he knew that he couldn't control himself being so close to her. At the same time he could also see that she needed him.
I love you Armaan... I have always loved you. He looked intentedly at her as he awaited these words from so long.He tried to move away but as he felt feather light kisses on his face he couldn't move. It was last straw foe him as she moved further down and kissed him on his chest. He let the defenses fall and pulling her up sealed her lips into a sensuous kiss. He kissed her ever so lightly just to make her feel secure by keeping her close to his heart. Slowly he picked her and took her to the bed. Without breaking the kiss he made her lie down with him on top of her. As he came out of the kiss he kissed her entire face part by part and then kissed her tears. Looking straight in her eyes he nodded his head indicating her to stop crying. She felt so secure in his arms right now as if nothing wrong could ever happen with her been this close to him. His looks made her shiver whereas his body that was so close to hers increased her heartbeat. But still his closeness gave a weird satisfaction and secure feeling.
He planted wet kisses near her earlobe and caressed her cheek, going closer he whispered on her lips looking straight in her eyes;
A Bas ek baar phir se kaho ki tum mujhse pyaar karti ho.
R I...I love you Armaan. Main tumse bohot pyaar karti hu.
She kissed his face lightly and again sealed their lips in a liplock. He moved down to her neck and placed fervent kisses on her neckline. She moaned loudly as he unpinned her pallu and moved it away. As his hands perfectly caressed her curves, his lips moved sensuosly right from her throat to her upper chest making her arch her back. He held her hand and kissed her palm. His hands caressed her cheeks and lips while he kissed her eyes. Pinning her hands above her head he kissed her neckline giving her some lovebites making her groan. As she looked up into his eyes she could see love and passion but something else too which she coldn't decipher. But she let her brains rest for a while as she surrended herself completely to him. His every touch made her feel so pure and his every kiss made her feel sated.
After a while he caressed her head lying next to her. Her sleeping face was so calm that it gave him so much relief. He kept staring at her as she saw her sleeping so peacefully for the first time. Bending down he kissed her puffed eyes and her forehead. Her eyes opened up due to the cold weather that was making her shiver and she found him looking down at her. A smile adored his face and his eyes held the same passion like always. But as she realzed all that perspired between them her smile vanished completely. A tear made its way down her eys and she trie to get up but he held her in place;
Please Armaan let...let me go. Ye...ye sab nahi hona...chahiye tha. Ye...
Kyu Riddhima, you are my wife and you love me toh isme galat kya hai.
Galat ye hai ki main...I...Main ab ye jhooth aur nahi jee sakti Armaan; she sighed hard and got up adjusting her pallu a little as her saree was completely disheveled but somehoe she took hold of it and walked towards the washroom. But he was quick enough to get up and hold her back in time. As he held her hand and pinned her to the wall behind she saw his face red in anger, and now she could see a look of accusation in his eyes which she was unable to decipher sometime back. It was for the first time after marriage that he was being demanding with her. She got a little scared by the look on his face but the guilt in her was much more, so she kept struggling to come out of his hold as she couldn't face him anymore.
Please let me go Armaan... I don't deserve you...mera tumse dur rehna hi theek hai...main tumhaare laayak nahi hu Armaan...
He went dangerously close to her and said in a dangerously low voice making her shiver; Let me decide that for myself ki main kya deserve karta hu aur kya nahi. She realized that he wasn't being himself, he looked determined as well as hurt at the same time. She tried to understand what he wanted but as she was again losing herself in his deep eyes she again started pushing him away.
Armaan tum samajh nahi rahe ho...tum kuch nahi jaante...tum...tumhe mere bare main kuch nahi pata Armaan, tum nahi jaante main kitni boori hu, u don't have any ideaki main kya karna chahti thi...
He pulled her up with such a force and intense look that she instantly shut her mouth;
Kya nahi jaanta Riddhima Ye ki tumne kis tarah mera tender leak kiya...ya phir ye ki tum kis tarah ISHIKA ke saath milke meri zindagi barbaad karna chahti thi
She just froze on her spot and stopped struggling as his words made her head spin due to shock. She couldn't understand if he was actually saying it all or it was just her dream. It had to be, had to be her dream, coz there was no way in hell he could be knowing all this. He pulled her closer and whispered right on her lips making her tremble but now with fear more than their close proximity;
Kya hua Mrs. Mallik Shocked
Ye...tumhe ye...
Mujhe kaise pata...Tumne hi bataya Riddhima! She looked up at him all startled. Itna socho mat, main batata hu na sab Jaan don't worry... You remember the day when Ishika came back, us din main tumhe surprise dene tumahare ghar aaya tha, and guess what tumhari so smart best friend Miss Ishika Saxena darwaaja band karna bhul gayi. And maine tum logon ka saara plan sun liya.
Toh...phir tumne...tumne ye shaadi kyun hone di Tum...
Maine bohot socha Riddhima, mera man kiya ki main mana kar du par main nahi kar paya. Kyunki main tumse pyaar karta tha, aur main Ishika ko achi tarah jaanta hu, tumhe agar main sach batane ki koshish karta bhi toh vo jaroor kuch ulta seedha karke tumhe manipulate kar hi leti. Aur phir tumhe kuch bhi samjhana bekaar hota. Aur jab maine socha ki agar Ishika tumhari shaadi vakai kisi aise insaan se kar deti jaisi idea usne mere baare main tumhe de rakhi thi toh tumhari zindagi barbaad ho jaati, jo main kabhi nahi hone de sakta tha. And you know the best part was that I knew ki tumne jab is shaadi ke liye haan kahi thi toh apni marzi se kahi thi, you wante to be with me. Ye sab jo hua ya tumne jo kiya vo toh sirf Ishika ke kehne par, par maine tumhari aankhon main har baar vo dard dekha hai jo maine mehsoos kiya hai tumhare un plans ki vajah se.
She was amazed by the revelation, at the same time she was thrilled to know whatever he did was just for her good. After knowing everything he was ready to take a risk but he couldn't let her even learn a lesson of her own deed. He infact was been with her a every step against himself!
I know its shocking for you, par agar isse pehle main tmhe ye sab batata toh tum kabhi mujhpar yakeen nahi karti.
Toh vo allergy...vo tumhai haalat itni buri...
Vo naatak nahi tha Riddhima, haan maine vo nuts dekhe the aur mujhe laga ki you knew everything still you...is liye main dekhna chahta tha ki agar mujhe kuch ho jaaye toh tumhe koi farak padega bhi ya nahi...aur jo jawaab mujhe mila main yakeenan usse naaraz nahi hua!
Par tumne mujhe is khel main istamaal hone diya...sab jaante the toh mera dil tutne se bacha sakte the na tum...jaante the ki mere liye ye sab kitna mushkil hai phir...
Tumhe kya lagta hai, maine aise hi tumhe Ishika ke hawale chod diya hoga! He gave a disapproving smile, Even after all this you think I would let that happen! She looked away as guilt engulfed each and every nerve of hers. Huh...tumhe kya lagta hai Riddhima, I really changed the tender because of you! Riddhima, you have too many things yet to know baby. Vo news mujhe bohot pehle hi mil chuki thi par tum shayad nahi jaanti vo news baahar kisne leak karvai thi! Tumhari so called best friend Ishika ne. As she looked surprised yet again he continued; yes Riddhima, vo sahi kehti thi that you indeed are innocent, aur isi baat ka bakhubi faayda uthaya hai usne. Par vo mauka use tumne hi diya humesha. Maine kitni baar, kitni baar tumse poochne ki koshish ki with a hope that maybe once you would trust me and let me know. Kam se kam ek baar mujhse directly pooch hi leti, par nahi! Par had tab ho gayi thi jab tumne us Ishika ke baare main sochne ke chakkar main apna haath jala liya. I hated the fact ki tum us jaisi giri hui ladki ko apni life main itna importance de rahi thi.
She now realized the reason why he was been so angry with her that day. All his words started ringing in her ears, how he was always trying to give her a hint to trust her heart and believe him, but she never did.
Par Armaan...Abhimanyu, tumhara business partner...vo toh Is...
Ishika ke saath mila hua hai I know that very well. But it is not like it looks, use maine hi bheja tha Ishika ke paas. Abhimanyu mera bohot acha dost hai aur use hi vo tender ke baare main sach pata chala tha, so I thought even you didn't know him agar main use tumhare plan main shaamil kar du toh I won't have to worry. Main jaanta tha vo tumhe kisi musibat main nahi padne dega, he will be there for you!
Aur isi liye use humesha mere baare main har khabar hoti thi! She now felt foolish as her best friend used her for a plan and her love; her husband directed the plan. What was she, did she even have any existence for the people she loved. Was she only worth been used by everyone
Bas ek sawaal poochna chahti hu Armaan...kya vo pyaar, vo concern vo sab bhi is plan ka hi ek hissa tha
Her words stung him so bad that he pulled her harshly through her arms showing no mercy and said with fire in his eyes meaning each and every word;
Agar main tumse pyaar nahi karta na Riddhima, toh trust me, after all that you did main tumhari aisi haalat karta ki tum har din apne vajood ke hone par pachtati!
Vo pachtava toh mujhe ab bhi hai Armaan! Maine...aise insaan ko dhoka deti rahi jo mujhse sabse jyaada pyaar karta hai. Jisne har waqt sirf mere baarein main socha, jisne humesha mera hi khayal kiya! Tum itne ache kyun ho Armaan...tumne... kyun
He not only did see the tiny tears rolling down her eyes but also saw her heart that was crying. He wiped her tears and caressed her cheek;
Nahi Riddhima, ab mat ro.Abhi toh sab kuch theek hua hai; humare zindagi ki nai shuruat hui hai toh ise ac... he was cut short by her words that made him furious as he heard her say;
Mujhe talaak de do Armaan! You shouldn't be with me, you deservee someone better; far more better.
Aaj bol diya hai, you said it and I heard it, par doobara kabhi himmat bhi mat karna aisi bakwaas karne ki varna mujhse boora koi nahi hoga.
Armaan why don't you understand...tumhari achai ne...mujhe apni khudki nazron main gira diya hai! Main zindagi bhar khud se nazre nahi mila paungi toh tumhare saamne, tumhare saath kaise reh sakti hu
Toh tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti
Armaan tum...
Pyaar karti ho ya nahi...just a yes or no...she was about to retort but he pulled her even closer by her waist and held her face an inch away from his; bas haan ya na main jawaab do Riddhima. She nodded in yes.
Bas,... then I bloody don't care about anyone. Jo hua, ho chuka use bhul jao. Aur ab dekho main kya karta hu, nobody dares make my wife cry, par ab jab tumhari dost ne ye galti kar hi di hai, toh she should get a reward for that isn't it And she will, she surely will receive one soon!
Armaan tum...
Shh...he placed a finger on her lips and carried her to the bed. Baki sab baatein hum baad main karenge, now just close your eyes and sleep. Aaj ke din ke liye bohot rona dhona ho gaya, now enough! Covering her with blanket he kept caressing her head looking at her as his head rested on his hand. But as she still kept looking at him he asked; Kya hua
Armaan...tum itna sab hone ke baad bhi mujhse pyaar kaise kar sakte ho Don't you hat...
Riddhima tumhe mere baare main Ishika ne itna kuch bataya, she warned you so much, phir bhi tum mere pyaar main kyun giri Koi jawaab hai tumhare paas... Nahi na Pyaar karne ki kabhi koi vajah nahi hoti Jaan, vo bas ho jaata hai, aur use aise kisi galti ki vajah se, baithe bithaiye bhula toh nahi jaa sakta na
She noticed how his anger was long forgotten and he was again back to his sweet self.
Thanks Armaan.
Tumse pyaar karne ke liye
Nahi vo sirf ek vajah hui but other than that...for completing me as a woman, for been there for me, for protecting me from every bad and sabse bada thank you, mujhe sab kuch bhulakar apni zindagi main apnane ke liye!
Ab tumhara thanks giving khatam ho gaya ho toh please rest for a while. She just nodded her head so he continued; You need to rest baby. I know you are a strong girl, par filhaal tumpar emotionally kya beet rahi hai I know. Is liye tum aaram karo aur thodi der apne man ko shaanti de do. Placing a sweet kiss on her forehead he turned off the lights and she snuggled into him. The entire night he kept caressing her head assuring her that he was right there being her support.
Early morning as her eyes opened up, as she adjusted her view blinking her eyes, she saw the most blissful scene in front of her. He was still looking down at her like last night and had a killing dimpled smile on his face. But as her gaze moved down and she found him shirtless, last night moments flashed in front of her eyes and she turned red like a tomato. Looking at her change of expressions he understood what was going on in her mind and that made him chuckle.
Oye hoye; kya baat hai, Mrs. Mallik aap sharmati hui aur bhi haseen lagti hai you know that!
Umm...tum...tum raat bhar soye nahi
Hayye...ab jab itni khubsoorat biwi baahon main ho toh kis kambaqt ko neend aayegi
Armaan tum...she shut her eyes tightly out of shyness...let me go neeche sab intezaar kar rahe honge!
Jee nahi koi aapka intezaar nahi kar raha!...I mean mom dad toh yaha hai hi nahi, aur bhabhi toh busy hongi bhai ke liye sab tayyari karne main, and he must be getting ready for work.
Toh tumhe aaj nahi jaana office.
Hmm...soch raha hu kyu na chutti le lu and be with you for the rest of my day.
Nahi...mujhe jaane do main...
Please aise hi raho na...he looked straight in her eyes in a pleading tone. Itne waqt baad mushkil se toh mere kareeb aayi ho; kam se kam ab toh dur hone ke baahane mat socho. As he nuzzled her neck he heard her say in a very low tone;
Aisa mat kaho Armaan please. Whatever I did main use sudhaarne ke liye kuch bhi karne ke liye tayyar hu. Jo tum kaho vo...
Oye...he looked up at her; ab vaapas senti mat ho jaana main toh...vaise you are right, you should do something now since you kept me waiting for so long. She looked at him telling him to go on, he just smiled at her and said;
Theek hai toh I want...i want a kiss.
Kya
Haan...good morning kiss! She couldn't look into his eyes anymore and dropped her gaze. He loved her even more when she shied away, bending a little he kissed her cheek and made her face him again.
Riddhima listen I need to talk to you...she heard carefully as she noticed his tone turning serious.
Dekho kal jo bhi hua I know it was with your consent, but at the same time mujhe ye bhi pata hai kal tum emotionally as well as physically drained out thi isi liye you needed me. But just because we consummated our relation doen't mean ki tumhe mere har physical advance ko accept karne ki jarurat hai, if you aren't comfor...
She placed a finger on his lips and stopped him from saying anything,
Bas tumhari yahi baat bohot buri lagti hai mujhe...you think a lot in my favour Armaan. Jab mujhe tumhari jarurat thi toh tumne mujhe apnaya, mere kareeb aaye, par apna hote hue bhi tum mujhse dur rahoge just because I might not be comfortable! Kyun Armaan Ye galat hai. Aur frankly speaking, main aaj tak kabhi tumhare chune se uncomfortable nahi hui. Not even when I did not wish to accept that I loved you. Main tumhar liye hi bani hu Armaan, and I want our relation to be complete, in all aspects. Maine pehle hi bohot der kar di hai, ab main is rishte ko poori tarah apnana chahti hu; infact apna chuki hu! He wiped the single tear that had formed at the corner of her eye and kissed her lips taking her by surprise.
Later as they went down Muskaan obviously noticed the glow of her face and immediately started with her teasing session.
M Riddhima aaj tujhe kuch jyaada hi der nahi ho gayi neeche aane main.
R Jee...vo bhabhi...meri aankh hi nahi khuli subah jaldi.
M Ohh...acha Toh Armaan ki bhi nahi khuli hogi, kyu Armaan
A Huh Nahi main toh jaag hi raha tha.
M Ohh toh tu soya hi nahi...aur iski aankh nahi khuli...cough cough...tabhi dono ko itni der ho gayi neeche aane main! Kyun Rahul.
Ra Hmm... vaise toh kabhi late nahi uthi tum Riddhima. Aaj hi kya hua Aur Armaan...tu raat bhar soya hi nahi, kya baat hai mere bhai tabiyat toh theek hai na Both Muskaan and Rahul hi-fied as they stiffled their laugh seeing their faces. Riddhima just kept fumbling with her breakfast whereas Armaan understood very well that they were pulling their leg so he spoke up;
Haan Bhai, Bhabhi...you both are correct. Ab yaha koi chota baccha toh hai nahi, and since we both are happily married so I don't think hume jyaada detail main jaane ki jarurat hai about who slept and who didn't. Vaise I don't mind but...soch leejiye bhabhi you really wanna... Riddhima eyes almost popped out with shock at his shameless comment whereas Rahul just shaked his head as he knew his shameless brother too well to react.
M Oye khote chup kar oye. Ek number ka besharam hai tu. Tujhe jara bhi sharam nahi aati ye sab kehte hue, vo bhi apni bhabhi ke saamne.
A Acha...aur topic bhabhi khud chede toh koi problem nahi
Riddhima by now was much past the level of embarrasment so as she couldn't take any more;
Main...mujhe kuch kaam hai main abhi... but before she could get up Armaan held her hand under the table and made her sit back.
Arey chill Riddhima, it's cool. I told you tum in dono ko jaanti nahi ho, they can be real pranksters at time. Ignore them, tum naashta karo.
Ra acha bachu...aur khud ki bhi toh tareef kar liya kar kabhi! Tu kaunsa doodh ka dhula hai Just as Armaan was about to retort Rahul's phone started ringing. As he finished his phone convo he seemed surprised and shocked.
Ra Armaan Ishika; Ishika Saxena teri dost... is been arrested for leaking the tender and making some illegal documents! Riddhima at once stopped eating and looked up at Armaan.
A I know bhai, I myself got her locked.
Ra What Par...ye tu...aise kaise
A She deserves it bhai, you don't know her. Any ways it's better if we don't talk about it...kam se kum hume culprit mil toh gaya na!
Ra Haan vo toh sahi hai par use jail bhej dena...I mean...
R Nahi bhaiyya...everyone including Armaan looked at her as she spoke...Armaan ne bilkul sahi kiya. She deserves nothing less than this. Usne bohot galat kiya hai...aur use is sab k saja milni hi chahiye! Rahul and Muskaan just stared at her in confusion as she said that and left. Armaan told them that everything was fine and just followed her to the room, he found her standing in the balcony so he went and wrapped his arms from behind around her waist.
Riddhima are you okay He caressed her waist bringer her closer I am sorry but I had to do this, main use aise hi nahi jaane de skata tha.Ek baar aaf karke pachta chuka hu, par is baar after all that she did to you I can't.
I know Armaan...I am okay.
Really ...are you He turned her around and she immediately dropped her gaze. He held her chin and said;
It's okay Riddhima. I understand it's not easy. Tumne apne itne saal gujaare hai uske saath; aftera ll she was your friend! I know it's still hard to accept.
Hmm...best friend.He wrapped her in his arms and caressed her back. But I guess this is how it was supposed to end. I am sorry...sorry for all that I did Armaan. And thanks, mujhe apni zindagi ka sabse bada sabak dene ke liye.
I am sorry too Riddhima, he held her face and caressed her cheek, I had been selfish somewhere to not let you go. I am Sorry that I couldn't let you go...and Sorry because I can never let you go...because I love you Riddhima. I love you a lot.
I love you too Armaan. Both of them kissed each other and were lost in their own love land. Their relation was unique, where both loved each other unconditionally but also hurt each other only for their good and after making sure that they had the medicine for the given wound.
Such was their bond, even their hatred, revenge and fights had the love they held for each other.
--->> arima_mallik <<---
I m posting from my thread due to some technical problems ...
A Main vaada karta hu ki main humesha Riddhima ke saath rahunga, aur usko har dukh se dur rakhunga. Uski zindagi khushiyon se bhar dunga, aur us par ek kharoch tak nahi aane dunga.
This was the promise made by a husband for his wife. She looked up at him as he had held her hand and his eyes depicted that he meant each and every word that he had just uttered to her father as he was taking her away as his bride forever.
This here is the story of Mr and Mrs Armaan Mallik. It's about a love+arranged marriage. Confused Well let me clear it then, it was love marriage for Armaan but arranged marriage on her side. He had fallen irrevocably for her just at the very first sight. He knew he ultimately wanted to marry her and only her but before that he wished he could know her spend some time with her, but unfortunately his parents were all set to get him married to some family friend's daughter. So he had no other choice but to directly come out with the truth that he loved Riddhima and then the very next day Billy and Ananya Mallik(his parents) were off to her place to ask for her hand. To his luck even she answered affirmatively and the marriage was fixed. They got to know each other in the next few days, but he could see that it was really too soon for her so he had promised himself to give her all the space that she needed. As for him she was willingly marrying him was only a big reason to be all happy and satisfied.
Both of them sat in the car to start their journey, one was the car journey which would end as they reached home, but the other was one which started from there, their married life journey!
Ye lo Riddhima apne aansoon poch lo. It's all going to be fine...and don't worry main vaada karta hu ki tumhe is tarah aansoon bahane ka 1 bhi mauka nahi dunga, iske baad har din tum sirf muskuraogi, khush rahogi I promise!
Thanks Armaan. She smiled at him and just then she murmured to herself,
Thank you very much Armaan. Kyunki tum yakenan meri zindagi khushaal bana doge par I am sorry kyunki ab tumhari zindagi ka sabse boora waqt shuru hota hai Mr.Mallik! Get ready for your worst time.
Flashback;
Riddhima was a simple and bubbly girl. She just had her dad(Mr.Shashank Gupta) the famous business tycoon and her nani by her side in her family. Other than these two a very dear and near person in her life was Ishika; Ishika Saxena. Her best friend cum sister. She had always been there for her from childhood and she was the only person she trusted on after her dad and nani. Ishika had done a lot fot Riddhima, she had always been her moral support and she was nothing less than an elder sister for Riddhima. But for some weird and unknown reasons both of them(her dad and nani) disliked Ishika a bit; but she cared less.
When the marriage proposal had come Riddhima had instantly liked him and she wanted to tell Ishika about all this but she was out of India and she couldn't contact her. The very next day Armaan and his family came over and that one meeting made her realise that he actually was a very genuine and nice guy. His every gesture and specially his eyes showed sincerity; something about him attracted her strongly. And when he said that he had fallen in love with her at the first sight she could see that he meant his each word. She wanted to have a talk about it with Ishika but had no reason to say no to him. So she had instantly said yes and was quite happy about her decision too.
But that happiness lasted only for few hours till she met Ishika, coz as soon as Ishika saw his photo she was shocked and told him that she knew him very well as he was the same guy whom she loved with all her might. Riddhima knew that just few months back Ishika was in love with a guy but she was betrayed badly and she was depressed to such an extend that she had even tried to commit suicide. Riddhima was stunned by the revelation . She did not want to believe her but she trusted her enough and she also did remember him saying that she wasn't the first girl in his life. He had told her everything about him but had also frankly confessed that he had never ever loved any other girl than her; and somewhere his honesty had been a great reason for her aproval of marriage.
R Main abhi jaakar Papa ko sab sach bata dungi; aur is rishte ke liye mana kar dungi. I will make sure ki vo is sabki saza bhukte. She was shattered but she knew she had to do it so she started walking out when Ishika stopped her;
I Nahi Riddhima tu kahi nahi jaayegi, aur naahi toh ye shaadi rukegi.
R Par Ishika uski vajah se tu...
I Riddhima agar tu vakai mujhe acha dost, apni badi behen ki tarah maanti hai aur mujhpe yakeen karti hai toh... toh tu usse shaadi kar le.
R Whatt Tu jaanti bhi hai tu kya keh rahi hai Ishika
I Please meri baat sun Ridz, you know I was about to kill myself just for this guy. Aur ab main ise acha khasa sabak seekhana chahti hu. Usne mera mazaak banaya tha, toh ab main uski zindagi ka mazaak banana chahti hu. Yahi uske liye sabse badi saja hogi Riddhima. Is liye tu is shaadi ke liye mana mat kar. I promise you once I teach him a lesson main sab theek kar dungi.
R Ye tu kya bol rahi hai Ishika How can I ... I mean... ye meri bhi zindagi ka sawaal hai Ishika... mera matlab shaadi...
I Riddhima please mujhpe bharosa rakh, I promise you kuch galat nahi hone dungi main. Bas ek baar use sabak seekha du, phir main sabse baat kar lungi aur tere liye bohooot acha ladka dhund nikalungi, par please mana mat kar... Tujhe meri kasam Ridz!
Riddhima had always being in debt of Ishika as she was being such a good friend and now that she had given her own sware Riddhima had no other choice. But afterall it was her life how could she...but then again a thought crossed her mind that he had aftrall destroyed Ishika's life. And he deserved all this as because of him she had almost lost her friend. So forgetting all goods and bads she was in for the plan, even keeping all her happiness at stake!
Flashback ends.
And now here she was at present ready to destroy his life. As they entered his house she was welcomed by his mom and dad with a huge smile plastered on their faces. His elder brother Rahul and his wife Muskaan seemed really happy for him too. Ananya welcomed her with the thal and told her to step into the dish filled with alta and walk into the house. He held her hand instantly as she got a bit unbalanced while doing so. She could feel an unknown sensation in her body, but any ways ignoring it she did the needful.
As she was sitting amongst everyone she could see their happy faces pulling each other's legs and all chirpy atmosphere. Somewhere deep in her heart the guilt stirred, but then as she remembered Ishika's face she turned back to look at Armaan and found him smiling down at her. His eye held something very strong which she couldnot decipher but with great efforts she finally looked away not letting her determined plan fall weak.
A Kya hua Riddhima Everything okay
R Huh...Haan I am fine.
Mu Arey arey devar ji, kya khusur phusur ho rahi hai hume bhi toh bataiye!
Ra Haan Armaan, kya chal raha hai dono main chup chup ke Arey bhai thoda sa sabar kar lo, bas thodi der main kamre main jaane hi wale ho na, tab tak control your emotions yaar.
A Bhai please. Main toh bas usse pooch raha tha if she is fine.
Mu Ohh...abhi se patni ki itni chinta! Not bad Armaan. Vaah kya pyaar hai.
How Riddhima wished all this was real and she could actually get such a married life with an amazing family, but for now that wasn't possible. How she wished only if Armaan had not done so bad with Ishika she had be able to enjoy everything from her heart. Unknowingly a lone tear trickled down and Armaan instantly noticed that.
Hey Riddhima...kya hua Tum theek toh ho
Mu Arey hum toh bas mazaak kar rahe the, tum bura man gayi...we are very sor...
R Arey nahi nahi bhabhi vo toh...bas mujhe ghar ki yaad aa gayi thi...isi liye.
An Chalo bacho, bohot masti mazaak ho chuka, vo bechari thak chuki hogi. Chalo ab use aaram karne do. Muskaan jaao Ridhima ko uske kamre tak chod aao.
Now as she entered the room and saw all the decorations the nervousness crept into her veins slowly. Ofcourse how could she forget about all this, she had very willingly accepted the task of making his life a hell for the sake of Ishika, but what about their life behind these 4 walls! How was she going to handle that huge sensitive issue at her hand All the colour from her face drained out in seconds.
Mu Arey kya hua...Don't worry Riddhima, I know tum bohot nervous hogi, afterall it's such an important night of every girl's life. Par tum tension mat lo, Armaan na kaafi understanding types hai. I am sure vo sab sambhaal lega. You know main humesha Rahul se kehti thi; he is the best husband anyone could ever get and now you are that lucky one. She took her to the bed and made her sit in the centre, relax okay. Mujhe poora yakeen hai Armaan tumhe achi tarah samjhega. So...fikar not. Chalo ab achi si smile do. Come on... her words actually helped her a little bit so she smiled lightly.
Muskaan adjusted her dupatta properly on her head,
Chalo ab main chalti hu mera yaha ka kaam ho gaya ab tumhare pati dev se thodi bohot khaatir dari bhi toh karva lu khud ki.
Armaan walked up to the room and as he reached the door Muskaan and Rahul popped out of nowhere blocking his way.
Mu Arey arey ruko jara, thodi der humare saath bhi baatein kar lo.
Ra Haan yaar Armaan kitne din ho gaye tune mujhse theek se baat hi nahi ki, shaadi ke chakkar main tu toh mujhe bhool hi gaya hai.
A Stop it guys, cut the crap and come out straight. Meri taang kheenchna choodo aur bolo what you guys want
Both Rahul and Muskaan hooted at the same time,
M Ohhh Someone's getting very impatient haan! Chal theek hai hume bhi teri Riddhima ko itna intezaar nahi karvaana chahiye ab; toh tu hume...umm...she looked at Rahul and after some ishaare both nodded their head and said; haan bas hume 25000 de de aur phir you are free to go.
A 25000 Are you guys crazy 25000 kis liye
M Arey neg hai, tujhe nahi pata kya Behen ka hak hota hai!
A But mere paas itna cash nahi hai, you see main apni shaadi se aa raha hu, aaj salary giving day toh nahi tha na so I wasn't prepared...aur bhai what's wrong with you, aap ko toh mere side pe hona chahiye na!
Ra You see insaan ko situation ke hisaab se apne aap ko badalna chahiye; yahi is zindagi ka rivaaz hota hai mere bhai, he said getting all melodramatic.
A Ya ya whatever...but I seriously don't have that much right now, so can we skip this for now
M uhuh...bilkul nahi. Tere paas abhi jitne hai utne dede. We believe in installments so baaki ke tujhse baad main kisi tarah nikalva hi lenge don't worry.
As he realised there was no way out he finally removed all the cash he had and handed it over to them.
M Chal chal tu bhi kya yaad rakhega...itne main hi chod dete hai aaj ke liye. Ab jaa jaldi, varna vo bechari akeli boredom ke maare so naa jaye. Bina vajah bechari ko intezaar karva raha hai huh kitni baatein karta hai tu... she huffed and went away as if it was all his fault.
A Arey ye toh...
Ra Chal na ab bato main aur time jaya mat kar, jaa best of luck. Saying so he pushed him inside the room and Armaan just kept looking at his retreating figure unbelievably. As he locked the door and turned around he found her standing near the bed looking at him with a blank face.
Ab main kya karu... is situation se kaise bahar niklu Kya kahungi isse...i can't let him near me, but how do I stop him
Kya hua Riddhima aise kyun khadi ho
Huh...umm...vo main... he started walking towards her and she started walking backwards. She was tongue tied and her brain too stopped working as he stepped closer and closer. Her brain was shouting to do something but out of nervousness her vocal cords had like stopped functioning. He moved one more step closer and she shut her eyes tightly and gripped her lehenga tightly in her fist; he smiled at her state and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
You look beautiful Riddhima! The most amazing bride I have seen till date, and see my luck, you are my bride,all mine now! She opened her eyes and stared back into his deep dark eyes forgetting all her mottos for a while. But that eye lock ended pretty soon as he stepped back,
Okay you really do look amazing in this outfit and I wouldn't mind seeing you in it for like forever, par I know ki dress kaafi heavy hai. Tum bohot uncomforatble feel kar rahi hogi; so you go and change. Tumhe bohot neend bhi aa rahi hogi; such an hectic day.
Umm...haan...main abhi aayi. She almost ran to the washroom and locked herself. But she was hell confused by his behaviour;
Ye itni achi tarah se behave karta hai; iski har baat se toh lagta hai jaise kitni kadar hai ise, is rishte ki, mere feelings ki, toh phir ye itne boora kaise kar sakta hai Ishika ke saath Bhabhi bhi iski itni tareef karti hai; toh phir aakhir ye hai kya Uski vo baatein; chote chote gestures are so confusing. Kya ye sach main itne achi tarike se pretend kar sakta hai sab kuch I think I should straight away tell him that I am not ready for all this...pata nahi kyun mujhe aisa lagta hai ki he won't do something without my consent. Usne Ishika ke saath bohot galat kiya hai but for some reason uski aankhein...it seems like he is being always sincere with me...Nahi Riddhima don't fall for his tricks...I am sure he can pretend all this so well, Aise hi toh usne Ishika ko bhi cheat kiya hoga. Tujhe bas apne plan par dhyaan dena hai Riddhima! She changed quickly and went out with a determined mind set.
Armaan main... She stopped midway as she saw him making a pillow barrier on the bed.
Hey tumne change kar liya. Come, let's sleep, main toh bohot thak gaya hu ye itne saare functions, traditions!
Umm...ye...she was all the more confused by his act now,
Haan vo...i know you won't be comfortable to share your space with me soo soon. I mean, main toh pehli nazar main hi tumse pyaar kar baitha aur ye sab itni jaldi ho gaya, par is sab main tumhari toh koi galti nahi hai na. Main samjhta hu ki tumhe waqt chahiye hoga adjust karne ke liye; we never got time ki hum theek se baithke baatein bhi kar sake. So lets take it slowly, don't worry you can take as much time as you wish. Actually main couch pe hi so jaata, par it's very small for my height toh...
Umm...nahi. It's okay. Tum yahi so jao. She did not know why she said that but now that she had she couldnot back out. And however strange though but she knew; she just knew that he won't cross his limits. By now since her brain had given up after all the confusions and her body was also hell tired so she just slept without thinking anymore.
As the first day she was now supposed to prepare something sweet for everyone she went down and made gajar ka halwa for sweet and rest was the usual paranthas and sanwiches. She was almost done when Ananya and Muskaan entered the kitchen;
An arey vaah, ho gaya halwa tayyar Khushbu toh bohot achi aa rahi hai.
R Jee aunty; its almost ready.
An Arey kaun aunty Tum mujhe aunty kyun bula rahi ho Main jaise Armaan ki mom hu usi tarah tumhari bhi mom hu samjhi! Khabardaar jo doobara mujhe aunty kaha!
Riddhima smiled as she scolded her sweetly and said; Jee aun...i mean mummyji.
Hmm Good. Before she could check on her halwa Billy called her and she had to go. Muskaan also was going out when Riddhima opened the lid and was about to add kaaju.
M Arey Riddhima ruko. Vo Armaan ke liye alag se bina kaaju ka halwa nikaal dena; varna vo nahi kha paayega.
R Kyun bhabhi use kaaju pasand nahi
M Nahin vo use kaaju...her phone started ringing and she excused herself.
R Hmm toh Mr.Armaan Mallik ko kaaju bilkul pasand nahi. Yeh toh bohot achi baat hai.
Everyone gathered on the table for breakfast and Riddhima served everyone happily. Even though she had plans for him but she always adored his family. She loved spending time with all of them; doing things for them, and she was doing everything happily. Everyone couldn't stop praising her as they had the breakfast made by her . Now as it was time for sweet dish Armaan got a call and he excused himself; so Ananya told her to take it to the room itself. As he was done with his call she handed him the bowl and he looked at it for a minute and then at her. She understood that he was probably thinking of not having it looking at the cashewnuts so she instantly said;
Kya hua Armaan Please khao na, maine pehli baar kuch banaya hai after coming here. So pleasekhao na, and tell me how is it
Riddhima...actually vo...mujhe kaaju se...
Tch...Armaan kya hua Itna kya soch rah ho just taste it na... mai hi tumhe khila deti hu wait. She purposely took the spoon and tried to feed him as she knew that he couldn't deny now, but as she took the spoon to his mouth she found him staring at her and she again lost herself in his eyes. He smiled and took the bite from her.
Its yummy Riddhima. Too good! She came out of her trance and composed herself. Looking at his face she knew something was wrong but thought that maybe it was just because he disliked cashewnuts.
Toh lo khao na, she handed him the bowl and without a word more he started eating it. But after a spoon or two Rahul entered the room and instantly took the bowl away.
Ye tu kya kar raha hai Andha ho gaya hai kya, can't you see usne nuts daale hai usme And Riddhima Muskaan didn't tell you Armaan ko kaaju wala halwa nahi dena
Umm...Haan bhabhi ne bataya tha...vo main...bhool gayi!
Riddhima Armaan ko...Armaan started coughing vigourously and Rahul started rubbing his back all panicked. Riddhima offered water but he denied it.
Ra Nahi Riddhima paani nahi; tum jaldi jaao aur drawer main jo tablets rakhi hai get them quick! By now Armaan had turned completely red and he was choking badly. Riddhima too panicked seeing his state and did what Rahul said. As she got the tablets, Rahul quickly made Armaan have them and soon she could see Armaan relaxed. But she was left confused on the turn of events when rahul turned to her;
Riddhima next time kabhi aisa mat karna; never ever again give him anything of nuts. You know how risky it could have turned out agar main time pe nahi pohochta!
Risky... kyu Mera matlab use toh bas kaaju pasand nahi hai toh phir ye sab...
Nahi ye tumse kisne kaha...Riddhima he is allergic to nuts. Badly allergic. Is liye agli baar please be careful. As soon as he said that guilt washed her and she felt so bad on what she did. She just wanted to do all this as she thought he disliked nuts but it turned out too big. She was left ashamed as she wanted to turn his life upsie down starting with just this small prank from his dislikes but she did not want to do anthing at the cost of his life ever. Armaan could see her all upset so he spoke up.
A Bhai it's okay, I am fine. Use pata nahi tha na isi ...
Ra Tu toh chup hi rahega toh acha hai. Use toh pata nahi tha par tujhe Tu andha ho gaya tha Tujhe toh dikhai de raha tha na ki usme kaaju hai, toh mana nahi kar sakta tha
A Nahi bhai vo...usne pehli baar itni mehnat se kuch banaya tha toh use shayad bura lagta isi liye...Riddhima just kept looking at him as she just couldn't pinpoint why he did that. If he was allergic why didn't he deny. Fine she was being adamant but; afterall it could have been so risky.
Ra Tu paagal hai sachi! Chal chod, ab tu aaram kar le. And Riddhima it's okay relax. I am sure you didn't know isi liye ye sab hua. Its alright hota hai. Bas agli baar yaad rakhna okay
R Hmm.
After somewhile Riddhima was supposed to go home for her pagphera but as everyone came to know about the halwa incident they weren't letting him go along with her.
R Armaan it's okay; mujhe bhi lagta hai you need to rest. Main driver ke saath chali jaaungi. Ek toh pehle hi meri vajah se tumhe...
A Nahi Riddhima. Theres absolutely no fault of yours. Tum toh kuch jaanti bhi nahi thi so its okay. And guys I am all fine now see!
An Haan Riddhima isme tumhari koi galti nahi hai beta, par Armaan Riddhima sahi keh rahi hai tujhe aaram karna chahiye.
M Haan Armaan, chahe toh Rahul use chodne chala jaayega na, tu...
A; nahi bhabhi seriously; I am fine. Aur phir main driver ko lekar jaa raha hu na I am not even driving, so not a big deal. As they still looked not so convinced he looked at Rahul and his dad for help. Somehow they both convinced Muskaan and Ananya and he left with her.
The journey was all quiet as she was still guilty about her deed. However bad he might be but she was wrong too. And his words,"Usne pehli baar itni mehnat se kuch banaya tha toh use shayad bura lagta isi liye" kept ringing in her mind. How was it possible that just so that she doesn't feel bad he was ready to eat it.
As the car halted she turned to him;
I am sorry Armaan.
Riddhima just relax alright; it's nothing. Main theek hu. Just forget all that now and smile come on. Varna tumhare dad sochenge meri beti ka ek hi din main kya haal bana diya in logon ne!
She instantly smiled at that and both of them entered her house. Once Arman left Riddhima was back into her pool of thoughts when Ishika came and hugged her tightly. Both of them sat in Riddhima's room and then Riddhima told Ishika everything but Ishika said that he was just being manipulative and she shouldn't fall for his tricks. He could be good in everyone's eye but that wasn't his trueself .
I Riddhima tu uski baaton main mat aa, use toh pata tha na ki use kaaju se allergy hai toh use saaf mana kar dena chahiye tha, but he didn't it means for sure uske dimaag main kuch chal raha hoga. Tu abhi nai nai hai na toh isi liye vo aise ache se behave kar raha hai, everything is new right now na! Thode din gujar jaayenge phir tujhe pata chalne lagega ki uski asliyat kya hai.
Somehow by the end of the day Riddhima was convinced that since Ishika had been with him in a relationship and also knew him for a longer span than her so she must be knowing him better; also she knew that Ishika wouldn't say something to her that she she wasn't sure about. So now Riddhima returned back to his house with everything set; all small to big things that they had to do to make their plan successful.
Somehow she did not have to put in so much efforts to cancel the honeymoon as to her luck he was a workaholic and he also did not want to go on a honeymoon so soon. But as the days passed she got to know more and more about him, he was very notorious, shameless, flirt but all these in a good way and in limits. She tried her best to make him spill something about Ishika but she never suceeded. But her efforts of teaching him his lesson never stopped; she tried a lot but her futile plans were disappointing her.She just got to know some of his tender's final figures after a lot of mehnat and she was never letting go off this golden opportunity, so she put in her best and leaked the final figures to an opponent company with all hopes of him losing it. She knew this was a big project for him as he had been working day night on it and if he lost it, that would be really an amazing start of his failure. He was getting ready for office when she saw him smiling unusually;
Kya baat hai Armaan aaj kuch jyaada hi khush lag rahe ho
Haan vo aaj final tenders submit hone hai and everything is already set; so I am really happy because ek baar ye deal mil jaaye toh bohot acha hoga. You know I have been working so hard on it! And I am sure ki we will get it.
How can you be so sure Armaan I mean itna over confident hona bhi theek nahi hai na Kya pata kab kya ho jaaye. She smirked as he had absolutely no idea what was up for him.
Ya maybe you are right...but I have a feeling ki we are getting this. Anyways chalo I am getting late see you in the evening okay. Bye, love you! These two words, always stung her. And that sting could be felt daily as he had that habit of saying it as a greeting whenever he would meet her or leave for work, but she never responded.
I know...I know that he doesn't even mean it aur mujhe bhi koi farak nahi padna chahiye uski is baat se toh phir mujhe ye baat itni chubti kyun hai Agar vo bina matlab ke hi ye kehta bhi hai toh kya Mujhe kyun bura lagta hai if he says it but doesn't mean it. Shayad mujhe sochna hi nahi...par I can't even stop myself from thinking. She was angry on herself as she couldn't stop thinking about this small thing, she just chucked her thoughts somehow and tried to be happy that she was about to see his failure not a big one though but something was always better than nothing! She went and started making kheer with a hope of getting a news soon from him.
It had been 6 pm and there was no sign of Armaan, Rahul or Billy. As she thought about the latter two she felt a little bad as she never wanted to hurt them as Rahul was being like her brother by now and Billy was her father. She felt weird that the person because of whom she got these beautiful realtions could never have a place in her heart and because of him today she was about to hurt them too, but she knew that they would maybe just feel bad as it was just a matter of one deal for them so it would be like another bad luck for them but knowing Armaan she was sure it would be a big blow to his ego as he himself had set everything and was pretty much sure about getting the deal. Around 7 Armaan was back and Riddhima who was busy talking to Muskaan instantly walked upto him as he slumped down on the sofa.
Kya baat hai Ridzi, patidev aaye nahi ki tum toh apni bhabhi ko bhool hi gayi.
Umm nahi bhabhi aisi koi baat nahi hai, vo...thoda thaka hua lag raha hai na...toh isi liye.
Theek hai theek hai ab bahane mat bana main sab samjhti hu.
R Armaan kya hua Tumhari meeting kaisi rahi Tumhe deal mil gayi right
A Please yaar Riddhima mujhe abhi is baare main koi baat nahi karni and can we please not talk right now. Main bohot thak gaya hu.
M Oye khote aise kyu baat kar raha hai usse Vo bechari itne pyaar se tujhse pooch rahi hai aur tu use dur bhaga raha hai; sharam nahi aati tujhe
A Bhabhi please main bas thoda...
An Armaan Muskaan bilkul sahi keh rahi hai, tu aise kyun baat kar raha hai usse Chal maafi maang usse. Abhi!
He sighed to calm himself and then looked at her;
I am sorry Riddhima. I am just upset about something isi liye. She finally got to hear what she was waiting to hear since morning but his eyes did not let her enjoy the moment. The pain that they held hurt her and she hated herself for that. She was supposed to be happy but she just couldn't be! She just pretended to not know anything;
R Kyu, kya baat hai Armaan Before he could say anything Rahul and Billy entered the house,
Ra Kuch nahi Riddhima, bas kuch office ki baat hai. Chodo na tum paani lekar aaogi please, bohot pyaas lagi hai. Riddhima gave all of them water and got coffee for Armaan and Rahul as Billy went to his room to freshen up. But somehow Armaan was still sulking and frowning and she couldn't understand why but she could not see him like that anymore. So unknowingly she moved towards him and kept a hand on his shoulder;
It's okay Arman ho jaata hai. Zindagi main choti moti haar jeet toh hoti hi rehti hai, what if you lost this one, tum isse bhi profitable deal score kar loge I am sure. She herslef was surprised at whatever she was saying but was even more surprised when she heard Rahul's words,
Arey nahi Riddhima, deal toh hume mil gayi aur milni bhi thi afterall Armaan had been working on it.
R Kya She was shocked out f her wits; that was just not possible. She had herself made sure that the tender was leaked then how
Par ye kaise...umm...mera matlab...ki agar deal mil gayi toh aap dono itne upset kyu ho bhaiyya There was pin drop silence after that question.
Mu Arey bol na Rahul chup kyu hai If you guys got it toh tension kis baat ki hai
Ra Vo...Muskaan...actually the tender was leaked aur...
R Aur kya boliye na bhaiyya
Ra Humare informers ne bataya ki... You were involved in it... Riddhima froze as she knew that everything was over now but yet again she was surprised.
A Par ofcourse we know that is never possible! Bas isi baat par meri thodi behes ho gayi un logon se and my mood was spoilt. I mean how dare they blame you right in front of me Soch bhi kaise sakte hai vo log ki main ya hum main se koi bhi is bakwaas par yakeen kar lega. His face turned red with anger and Riddhima shivered little with fear and more with guilt.
Ra Chill Armaan you know how it works right, kuch galat salat feed kar diya hoga yaar opponents ne in logon ke dimaag main and they must have just given voice to those rumours. Chod na ab toh sab theek hai na.
A haan bhai but still...bas ek baat sahi kahi un sab ne; that Riddhima is responsible for everything! Riddhima instantly looked at him with curiosity. He moved towards her and held her hand in his, Haan Riddhima, tumne hi subah kaha tha na ki I shouldn't be over confident, tumhari vohi baat mujhe yaad aayi office pohochte hi and maine instantly figures change kar diye end moment pe. So it is all thanks to you Riddhima. Thanks a lot. He kissed her forehead and she did not know in what way was she supposed to react. Her whole plan had back fired was already surprising and then he, he was just been soo good to her. He never once doubted her, after all the information that he got even without trying to know anything he defended her! What was she supposed to conclude out of all this One side Ishika's words were ringing in her ears and then today's incident. Her brain was about to burst open in confusion. If he was what Ishika said, how could he be blindly trusting her
She was standing lost in her thoughts when he came and kept his hand on her shoulder. She turned around and he placed a kiss on her head. As he did that she got butterflies in her stomach and she forgot about everything that was going on in her mind just a minute back. This happened a lot these days; previously she kept him at an arm distance from herself but in past 2-4 days his closeness did not bother her; infact it affected her in a strange way. And somehow she also knew that he would not go beyond a kiss on her forehead or hand so she was strangely relaxed around him.
A Riddhima agar tum aaj jo office main hua us baare main soch rahi ho, toh mat socho. Just forget it, trust me jab tak main tumhare saath hu nothing is going to go wrong and since I am going to be with you forever toh tumhe chinta karne ki jarurat hi nahi hai right Haan par 1 bat jaroor hai which I would like to say Riddhima, tum bohot bholi ho and though I am always there for you, kuch aisi baatein ho sakti hai where I can't be of any help; maybe something that you won't be able to share with me, toh vaha pe you need to decide the good and bad for your ownself baby. Main jaanta hu ki tum bohot samajhdar ho, par bohot bholi bhi ho. I just don't want ki tumhara ye innocence koi tumse cheen le. Kyunki main ye kabhi bhi bardasht nahi karunga. But you are the one who would give that right to anyone, toh bas yahi kehna chahta hu ki I trust you completely par tumhe bhi apne aap par; apne dil par humesha trust karna chahiye. Cause humara dil humesha sahi hota hai.
Few more days went by and her plans just kept backfiring; if she tried to make him lose that never broght the desired outcome and if she tried to hurt him emotionally still some or the other way it always hurt her in the end. As he tried to strengthen their bond she tried her best to break it. Whenever he got or did anything for her she simply ignored it or showed no intrest in it, but he accepted all her tantrums with a smile and found some or the other way to make her smile. And these things ultimately hurted her as though she was trying to be heartless towards him, she could never do that. She was falling weak in her plans and had also started falling for him. But she kept denying that fact with her every breath cause she just wanted Ishika's revenge and everything else did not matter for her right now. Also as she had been having a great relation with Ananya, billy, muskaan and Rahul she felt disgusted about her ownself sometimes.
As nothing was working till now, Ishika told her an extreme step now and that was an extra marital affair. He had cheated on her badly so she told Riddhima to follow TIT FOR TAT strategy. She knew very well that Armaan could never tolerate his wife involved with someone else ever. Whether he loved her or not, but no man could take the fact that his wife was cheating on him and she believed that specially when we are talking about Mr. Armaan Mallik he could kill the person but never accept the fact of getting cheated by someone.
R Ishika par ye sab bohot galat hai...kya koi aur tareeka nahi hai...mera matlab...
I Agar ye jaruri nahi hota toh main kabhi tujhse ye nahi karvati na Ridz, please try to understand.
R Par Ishika is sab se bhabhi bhai aur mom dad bhi hurt honge and I don't want to hurt them.
I Once they know the truth they will be fine Ridz and Armaan deserves this, please Ridz abhi kamzor mat pad, just few more days, just if our plan works out tu humesha ke liye is sab se free hogi Riddhima. Just a little more wait.
Riddhima was not at all liking it anymore but since she had promised she couldn't betray her, so she followed the decided plan. The thought that all will be fine in few days and he would be out of her life forever had started eating her. She could understand that she would be upset on going away from everyone else but going away from Armaan shouldn't affect her. But that was, and was affecting her badly indeed. The very nwxt day Ishika called her to meet up. She told her that their plan was all ready to get started with, so she had called her to give her the instructions to begin with the plan.
R Ishika, tumhe lagta toh hai na that all this is going to work. Aur hum kuch galat toh nahi kar rahe na
I Ofcourse not yaar Ridz...chill. Vaise main tujhe kisi se milwana chahti hu, ruk. She called someone and within few minutes a tall well built guy walked towards them.
I This is Abhimanyu. Ye humare plan main humare saath hai. He'll be with us throughout.
R Par Ishika ye hai kaun And why would he help us out
Ab Hello Riddhima. Main batata hu, main Armaan ka business partner hu.
R What Toh phir...
Ab Let me explain, Armaan mera dost hua karta tha but after a while he started istreating me. Vo dost kehlaane ke laayak bilkul bhi nahi hai! He has always been a self centered person, aur usne mujhe bohot buri tarah cheat kiya hai business main. So I just want to show him his place. And so I am here; vo kehte hai na dushman ka dushman dost hota hai...usi vajah se I am helping you guys in your plan. Armaan jaise selfish, heartless, insensitive jerk ko...
R Enough, bas karo. Just enough of your nonsense. She stopped him getting all angry as he spoke about Armaan.
Ab Ohhh...see I told you Miss. Ishika. Ye unki wife hai, and I was pretty sure ki yeh unke khilaaf kaise kuch karenge, ye to uske khilaaf kuch sunne ke liye bhi tayyar nahi hai!
R Nahi...umm...vo I meant...kit um par kaise trust kar sakti hu main. Tum...toh uske dost reh chuke ho.
Ab Well Mrs. Mallik, aapko kya lagta hai, aapne jo tender leak kiya tha uski news Armaan tak kaise pohochi...she looked up at him with wide eyes and found him smirking. Jee haan maine he vo news leak kit hi, but soon I realized that I can instead shake hands with you and move on as hum dono ka hi motive same hai!
R Lekin...
I Ab jyaad asoch mat na Ridz, tu bas haan kar de aur phir dekh. Ek baar everything goes acc. To the plan na toh phir Armaan Mallik will be finished.
Riddhima did not know why but she was feeling uneasy, even when Abhimanyu said all those disrespectful things for Armaan she couldn't stand it. For a few days after her meeting with Ishika she tried to be all rude and annoyed with him so that within few days she could tell him that she was not interested in the marriage and was already commited to Abhimanyu. This was their major plan; but at the end of the day when he came to her with all the concern in his eyes she couldn't go anymore with the plan and told him that she was just been upset about something.
A Riddhima agar koi baat hai toh nujhe batao na, maybe I can help.
R You can't Armaan, tum chaho toh bhi nahi kar sakte meri help. Lekin na chahte hue bhi shayad kabhi meri madad kar jaao. I can't explain anything Armaan, bas leave me alone.
A Vohi toh nahi kar sakta Riddhima! Tum meri biwi ho, tumhe main aise apne aap se laadta hua nahi dekh sakta. But still if you don't want to tell me then it's okay. Par main itna jaroor keh sakta hu ki tumhe aisi koi pareshaani chu hi nahi sakti jiska jawab mera paas na ho, kyunki tum tak har pareshaani ko bhi mujhse gujar kar hi pohochna padega. Main yahi hu Riddhima; jab bhi tumhe lage ki tumhe meri jaroorat hai bas mujhe aawaaz lagane ki deri hai aur main haajir ho jaaunga. He wished her goodnight and as usual kissing her forehead went to sleep.
Knowing the entire truth she was falling for him and she knew that. That made her hate her ownself but she couldn't help it. He was been so humble and understanding with her. At every step he was right next to her, and when needed he had also been right in front of her protecting and defending her from the entire world.
R(thinking) Kya main jo kar rahi hu vo sahi bhi hai Ho sakta hai jo Ishika ke saath hua vo ek misunderstanding ho...ya phir shaayad Armaan tab kuch alag tha aur aaj badal gaya ho. Usne shayad apna sabak seekh liya ho. Agar vo vaisa hi hota jaisa Abhimanyu aur Ishika ka kehna hai, toh vo vaisa dikhai kyun nahi deta. Uski family ki taraf concern, uska apne friends ke saath behavior aur meri har baat ka khaayal, ye sab natak toh nahi ho sakta. Agar vo vakai badal gaya ho toh She was really confused between her heart and mind, hr heart couldn't believe what image Ishika had portrayed about Armaan and her mind told her that maybe Ishika was right and Armaan was just been fake and was pretending the love and care. She did not know what to believe and what to do, so she closed her eyes and followed whatever Ishika said to fulfill her promise.
Riddhima was lost in her own world and was unknown to everything happening around her. She was setting the table for breakfast lost in her dream world, and as she started pouring some coffee in a cup for God knows who; Armaan came from behind calling her. Since she wasn't in her senses his voice brought her out of her revive and the coffee spilled down burning her hand and her leg badly. As she hissed in pain Armaan ran to her and everyone in the house gathered.
A Riddhima I am so sorry. I did not mean to startle you... Chalo lets wash it with cold water.
R Nahi Armaan...rehne do...
Arey aise kaise...just come with me Riddhima!
Nahi Armaan please...bohot jalega...
Kuch nahi hoga just come, as she had burnt her leg too he picked her up and took her to the washroom. Getting a stool he made her sit on it and kept her legs in a tub of cold water. But as she kept denying he himself placed her feet and tears started streaming down her eyes as she hissed in pain. He slowly took her hand and held it below the tap.
A Bas bas ho gaya... He brought her out and made her sit on the bed.
An Par ye kaise hua Riddhima, aur tum theek toh ho na, bohot jyaada jal raha hai kya Bas 2 minute main dawai laga deti hu, phir bilkul theek ho jaayega. She started applying the lotion slowly blowing on her hand to soothen her as she was still groaning due to the pain. Aur Armaan tujhe kya jaroorat thi use itne jor se bulane ki Bechari chauk gayi hogi...
R Nahi maa Armaan ki koi galti nahi hai, vo toh main hi kuch soch rahi thi, apne hi khayaalon main thi isi liy... As soon as she said that God knows what happened that rose Armaan's anger and he snapped immediately;
A Ofcourse it's your fault, tumse maine hazaar baar kaha hai ya toh kaam mat kiya karo ya phir kar hi rahi ho toh kam se kam apna khayal rakhna seekho. Why the hell would you be busy thinking about something stupid while working. I am warning you for the last time Riddhima; either stop thinking this much or else chup chap kamre main baitha karo, par agar doobara tumhari laparvaahi ki vajah se aisa kuch hua toh trust me mujhse boora koi nahi hoga! He walked out of the room all red with anger and nobody could justify his behavior. On the other hand Riddhima started crying even more.
An Shh...chup ho jao Riddhima. Tum ro mat, main use theek karti hu.
Mu Haan Riddhima don't worry. Is Armaan ko toh hum ache se dekh lenge, bina vajah tujh par chilla kar chala gaya.
Later as she sat wondering about Armaan's anger her cell started ringing, she thought to cut the call as she saw Abhimanyu's name flashing but anyways picked the call as she was supposed to meet him.
R Hello I am sorry Abhimanyu par main nahi aa sakti aaj.
Ab I know, par tum theek toh ho na; jyaada toh nahi lagi
R Nahi main...par tumhe kaise pata chala
Ab Riddhima... umm...main sab jaanta hu, afterall it's my duty to keep a watch on your husband, if I really want to beat him. Toh mujhe pal pal ki kharab rakhni padti hai you see!
R Theek hai toh phir...main rakhti hu.
Ab Okay bye, take care.
She thought that he must probably be angry as she was being careless; but whatever the reason maybe she wasn't liking this. She knew he was upset with her and that made her feel uneasy. It was already 6 pm and there was no sign of Armaan yet. Riddhima was already waiting for him as she wanted to talk to him and know why he was upset, but now that he was not back, yet her tension increased. Around & he entered the house and his state made everyone gasp with worry. He had a small band aid on his head and his hand also had a dressing.
Ra Armaan ye kya hua Tujhe ye chot kaise lag gayi
An Kya hua Ammy Ye sab kaise
A Relax guys chota sa accident ho gaya tha mera! Main bilkul theek hu, bas thodi si kharosh aayi hai, otherwise I am absolutely fine.
M Waah kya pyaar hai, ise kehte hai made for each other. Vaha use chot lagi hai toh tu kaise peeche reh sakta tha right Isi liye tune bhi accident karva liya nai He just smiled at her remark and walked away.
Since Riddhima was resting in her room she had no idea about his condition. She was been informed that he was back home but she kept wondering why he wasn't coming to the room. Even she couldn't be going down as she had her leg burnt a little. She thought that now he was not going to come to the room at all, but it wasn't even her fault than why was he angry. And even if he was angry why was she bothered about it She tried her best to not think about it but obviously remained unsuccessful. Later during the dinner her plate was supposed to be taken to the room, she was surprised when he entered the room with her plate as that was least expected, but she was stunned to see his wounds.
R Armaan ye... Ye kya hua Tum theek toh ho, ye chot kaise lagi Aur mujhe kissi ne kuch bataya kyu nahi
A Riddhima...relax main theek hu. Tum ye plate lo aur khaana kha lo.
R Par Armaan ye sab hua kaise
A Kuch nahi bas chota sa accident ho gaya tha. Par main ab bilkul theek hu Riddhima. Don't worry. You have your dinner. He kept the plate and walked to the couch and sat with his laptop working on something. She was taken aback by this as he never behaved this way with her. It hurt her deeply to see him behaving so distantly with her, he made no eye contact and the smile from his face was lost somewhere. She felt like crying hard but she controlled herself. She wasn't supposed to fall for him, she wasn't allowed to love him, that wasn't the plan. But damage had already happened, she was in love with him already, and now that was irrevocable! She wanted to hug him and tell him sorry for whatsoever wrong that she had done to him, she wanted him by her side as always, she wanted to check on his wounds to see if everything was fine. But that wasn't possible for now. Now that she gave it a thought, she realized that just a day of his ignorance and she felt so uneasy and perturbed , so what would happen when he would know the entire truth. How would she then live with his ignorance throughout her life. As that thought crossed her mind a shiver ran down her spine and tears unknowingly spilled out of her eyes. She sat on the bed lost again when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up and found him looking down at her with worry lines on his forehead. He sat down as he saw her crying and held her cheek;
Kya hua Riddhima Tum ro kyu rahi ho Is it paining Main dawai laga du As she felt him close she couldn't hold herself anymore and hugged him tightly.
Armaan...tum din bhar kaha the...maine kitni baar ...call...kiya tumhe...aur tumhe kitni chot bhi lagi hai...I am sorry...tum mujhse naaraz ho main jaanti hu...par tum...
He detangled her and wiped her tears, Shh... Chup, bilkul chup. Koi sorry vorry nahi sunna mujhe. Bas tum khana khalo ab, subah se kuch nahi khaaya tumne, batya mujhe bhabhi ne! Chalo main khaana garam karke laata hu tum chup chap ab vo khaogi samjhi! Before she could retort he went down and came back with heated food. As he made a morsel and was about to feed her she held his hand;
Tum ab bhi mujhse naaraj ho na! Par kyun Armaan, maine toh kuch kiya bhi nahi, toh tum mere saath aise kyun behave kar rahe ho Kam se kam mujhe meri galti toh bata do!
A Riddhima baad main baat karenge tum pehle khaana kha lo...but she simply refused to take the bite so he sighed in defeat,I am sorry Riddhima. Par main kya karta, tum kab se kisi baat ko lekar pareshaan ho and you don't even want to talk to me about it! Tum bas khoi hui rehti ho, aur is chakkar main dekho kya haalat bana li hai tumne apni! I couldn't see you like that aur main kuch kar bhi nahi sakta tha; isi liye tumpar apna frustration nikaal diya. I am really sorry for that.
R Armaan mujhse ye aur nahi hoga...main tumhe aise...please sach sach batana... tum...you really love me Tum humesha mere saath rahoge na
A Tum kya bol rahi ho Riddhima aur ye kaisa sawaal hai Ofcourse I love you, more than anything and everything in this world. Main humesha tumhaare saath rahunga, fir tum chaho ya na chaho! Kissing her forehead he took her in a hug. Her heart said that he should get a chance and she should give him that. Maybe whatever he did was wrong but a wrong deed can never be answered with another wrong deed. She loved him and she could see the same love in his eyes for her too. She had to talk to Ishika asap and tell her to stop all this. They had to give him a chance, though Ishika may think that she ditched her but she couldn't punish him if he was a changed man. And afterall whatever he did in past was past; but for present he was been trustworthy with her. He had given her all the happiness in the world, taken care of her, given love and most important had always trusted and respected her. After all this she couldn't see in her own eyes if she would betray him so badly! He brought her out of her thoughts and fed her with his own hands. After dinner he interwined her fingers with his and kept his hand on a side making her rest her head on his chest so that her hand doesn't get hurt by either of them. The pillow barrier was long forgotten and so was her motive behind the marriage.
The new day began with a new happiness. She followed all his instructions and was also speaking normally with him. Infact he had never seen her smiling so much , the glow on her face was absolutely prominent. He could see that she loved him but was just waiting for something, but it seemed like she was having a huge burden on her heart for many days and now it looked as if not removed though but it had been lightened a little. She called Ishika and asked her if she could meet but she said that she couldn't be coming at her place as she did not want to come face to face with him so soon. And Riddhima wasn't in a state to go out, so she had to wait till she was fine. For coming 2 days Riddhima was under Armaan's care. He not only took care of her but as always also showered her with his love.
Finally after a long wait of 2 days she decided to go and meet ishika. She went away without informing anyone as she knew that nobody would allow her to step out taking her state into conideration. She entered her house and was about to step in when she saw Abhimanyu and overheard Ishika taking her name. And her next line made her stop in her tracks.
I Riddhima toh badi bholi hai isi liye use bewakoof banana aasaan tha, varna Armaan toh kabhi bhi mere saath relationship main nahi tha. He had always treated me as a friend but I loved him. Par jab mujhe pata chala ki vo mujhse pyaar nahi karta I couldn't take it. Maine usse kaha ki I love him and I wanted him par usne meri baat nahi maani, isi liye main ghusse main cheeje bikher rahi thi jab mujhe chot lag gayi. Varna main paagal thodi hu jo us Armaan ke liye suicide karne ki koshish karungi. Infact vo khud mujhe hospital lekar gaya tha he's an emotional fool you know. And when I got to know ki Riddhima is getting married to him I knew that it's perfect time to take my revenge!
Ab Par tumne Riddhima ko ismain involve kyun kiya, like why spoil her life
I Ohh please, she was an only easy target. Use manana kaafi aasan tha isi liye I used her. Vo bhi ek bohot badi emotional fool hai, I knew mere thode rone dhone se baat ban jaayegi. Isi liye I told her to get married. Ab bas ek baar us Armaan ko tumhare aur Riddhima ke baare main pata chal jaaye, fir he will get to know ki mujhe naa kehne ka anjaam kya hota hai. He will get a nice lesson jab Riddhima, jisse vo sabse jyaada pyaar karta hai, use hi vo kho dega.
As she finished she saw Abhimanyu looking behind her with wide eyes. She turned around and was left stunned to see Riddhima. Before she could do or say anything she received a tight slap across her face.
R Maine tumpar itna bharosa kiya aur tum...tumhare ek baar kehne par main apni poori zindagi barbaad karne ke liye tak tayyar ho gayi, Armaan se shaadi ki tumhare liye apne baare main 1 baar bhi nahi socha aur tum. Papa aur nani sahi kehte the, tum kisi ki dost kehlane laayak nahi ho, mujhe pehle hi samajh jaana chahiye tha. Mujhe un dono ki baat maan leni chahiye thi. Main 2 din se soch rahi thi ki pata nahi tumse aakar kaise baat karu; kis muh se tumse kahu ki shayad hume Armaan ko ek mauka dena chahiye, maybe he is not that bad. But you know what, acha hua maine aisa nahi kiya varna tumhara ye ghinona chehra main dekh hi nahi paati.
I How dare you slap me you bi, she raised her hand to slap her but her hand was stopped midway by Abhimanyu.
Riddhima moved out of her house all shocked and surprised, Ishika, her best friend with whom she had been for so many years, who was like an elder sister had played such a disgusting game. She was been used and she felt disgusted about herself as she realized what she was about to do with Armaan. She realized the way she treated him, punished him with no fault of his. He always kept loving her and she always hurt him and only manipulated him. Her cell kept ringing but as she saw Armaan's name she never received it as she did not have any courage to do so. She felt ashamed; guilty. She was walking aimlessly on the street with a carefree attitude. She cared less even if a car would have run through her. She went down the memory lane and remembered all her moments with Ishika and then today's day which showed her true colours of her so called best friend. And then her heart cried as she remembered her moments with Armaan. How he always treated her like a princess, how he took care of her, the way he loved her, protected her. But in return she only played games with him. She stopped abruptly as a car halted straight in front of her and her eyelids shut as the bright headlights hit her eyes. Armaan stepped out of the car and held her shouders;
A where have you being Riddhima Main kitna pareshaan ho gaya tha! Mom dad bhi yaha nahi hai aur tum Bhabhi ya bhai ko bhi kuch bin bataaye hi chali aayi. I have been calling you from so long...Tum...he stopped as he noticed her tear stained face, disheveled state and puffed eyes. He picked her up and taking her to the car, made her sit inside. As they entered their room he placed a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. As soon as he held her face and she looked into his eyes she lost her control on her emotions, all the emotional turmoil was too much to handle now. She just broke down in his arms hugging him tightly and fisting his shirt in her hands. He caressed her head and let her cry on his chest.
R Armaan I am sorry...I am so sorry. Main...main bohot boori hu...par main...main tumse dur nahi...mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha I know par...mujhe maaf kardo Armaan...main sach main tumse...don't leave me Armaan...main mar jaungi tumhaare begair.
A Shh...I know, I know baby relax. He rubbed her back to calm her and detangled her to make her face him, main yahi hu I am not leaving you ever. Hmm Chup...bilkul chup ho jao. Wiping her tears he was about to hold her hand but she hugged him back tightly clinging onto him. She hid her face in his neck;
Main ye aur nahi seh sakti...I need to tell you something...par... usse pehle...Please...aakhri baar...Armaan please mujhe thodi der ke liye aise rehne do, tumhare paas, tumhari baahon main. He let her be for a while. Shant ho jao Riddhima it's alright don't worry. Sab theek hai baby, nothing is wrong. Main hu na tumhare saath.
R Aisa kyun hua Armaan...mere saath hi kyun Main bohot buri hu na...maine tumhare saath humesha galat kiya na...main toh...
Shh...maine kaha na Jaan ab sab theek hai, tum please rona band karo! Aur bas chup ho jao mujhe aur kuch nahi sunna. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, so stop blaming yourself.
Nahi Armaan...main...tum sahi the...i should have known to differentiate between good and bad...tum...I don't deserve you Armaan. Main tumhare laayak nahi hu... She slid down and sat on he floor covering her face crying hysterically. He sat along with her
Enough Riddhima...I said stop.Khabar daar agar iske aage kuch kaha toh. Tum mere liye mera sab kuch ho, khud par ilzaam lagakar tum mujhe aur hurt karogi, so just stop.
Armaan main...mujhe bohot dar lag raha hai...
(Mature content ahead.Read at your own risk)
Kis baat ka dar hai tumhe Yaha mom dad hai, bhai aur bhabhi hai, tumhare dad aur nani bhi tumhare saath hai. Aur main...main toh humesha se tumhare saath raha hu Riddhima, aur humesha rahunga! Jo bhi hota hai ache ke liye hi hota hai. And whatsoever happens, trust me I will always be by your side.She kept staring into his eyes as he held her gaze with his passionate look. She never realized when he reduced the distance between them and sealed her lips with his. She did not respond for a minute but as her brain registered what was happening she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Her hands that pulled him closer by his collar, her heartbeat, her demading lips against him were all proof enough of how badly she needed him right now. He came out of the kiss and was about to get up when she held his hand,
Please Armaan...stay with me...I need you. He wanted to be with her but he knew that he couldn't control himself being so close to her. At the same time he could also see that she needed him.
I love you Armaan... I have always loved you. He looked intentedly at her as he awaited these words from so long.He tried to move away but as he felt feather light kisses on his face he couldn't move. It was last straw foe him as she moved further down and kissed him on his chest. He let the defenses fall and pulling her up sealed her lips into a sensuous kiss. He kissed her ever so lightly just to make her feel secure by keeping her close to his heart. Slowly he picked her and took her to the bed. Without breaking the kiss he made her lie down with him on top of her. As he came out of the kiss he kissed her entire face part by part and then kissed her tears. Looking straight in her eyes he nodded his head indicating her to stop crying. She felt so secure in his arms right now as if nothing wrong could ever happen with her been this close to him. His looks made her shiver whereas his body that was so close to hers increased her heartbeat. But still his closeness gave a weird satisfaction and secure feeling.
He planted wet kisses near her earlobe and caressed her cheek, going closer he whispered on her lips looking straight in her eyes;
A Bas ek baar phir se kaho ki tum mujhse pyaar karti ho.
R I...I love you Armaan. Main tumse bohot pyaar karti hu.
She kissed his face lightly and again sealed their lips in a liplock. He moved down to her neck and placed fervent kisses on her neckline. She moaned loudly as he unpinned her pallu and moved it away. As his hands perfectly caressed her curves, his lips moved sensuosly right from her throat to her upper chest making her arch her back. He held her hand and kissed her palm. His hands caressed her cheeks and lips while he kissed her eyes. Pinning her hands above her head he kissed her neckline giving her some lovebites making her groan. As she looked up into his eyes she could see love and passion but something else too which she coldn't decipher. But she let her brains rest for a while as she surrended herself completely to him. His every touch made her feel so pure and his every kiss made her feel sated.
After a while he caressed her head lying next to her. Her sleeping face was so calm that it gave him so much relief. He kept staring at her as she saw her sleeping so peacefully for the first time. Bending down he kissed her puffed eyes and her forehead. Her eyes opened up due to the cold weather that was making her shiver and she found him looking down at her. A smile adored his face and his eyes held the same passion like always. But as she realzed all that perspired between them her smile vanished completely. A tear made its way down her eys and she trie to get up but he held her in place;
Please Armaan let...let me go. Ye...ye sab nahi hona...chahiye tha. Ye...
Kyu Riddhima, you are my wife and you love me toh isme galat kya hai.
Galat ye hai ki main...I...Main ab ye jhooth aur nahi jee sakti Armaan; she sighed hard and got up adjusting her pallu a little as her saree was completely disheveled but somehoe she took hold of it and walked towards the washroom. But he was quick enough to get up and hold her back in time. As he held her hand and pinned her to the wall behind she saw his face red in anger, and now she could see a look of accusation in his eyes which she was unable to decipher sometime back. It was for the first time after marriage that he was being demanding with her. She got a little scared by the look on his face but the guilt in her was much more, so she kept struggling to come out of his hold as she couldn't face him anymore.
Please let me go Armaan... I don't deserve you...mera tumse dur rehna hi theek hai...main tumhaare laayak nahi hu Armaan...
He went dangerously close to her and said in a dangerously low voice making her shiver; Let me decide that for myself ki main kya deserve karta hu aur kya nahi. She realized that he wasn't being himself, he looked determined as well as hurt at the same time. She tried to understand what he wanted but as she was again losing herself in his deep eyes she again started pushing him away.
Armaan tum samajh nahi rahe ho...tum kuch nahi jaante...tum...tumhe mere bare main kuch nahi pata Armaan, tum nahi jaante main kitni boori hu, u don't have any ideaki main kya karna chahti thi...
He pulled her up with such a force and intense look that she instantly shut her mouth;
Kya nahi jaanta Riddhima Ye ki tumne kis tarah mera tender leak kiya...ya phir ye ki tum kis tarah ISHIKA ke saath milke meri zindagi barbaad karna chahti thi
She just froze on her spot and stopped struggling as his words made her head spin due to shock. She couldn't understand if he was actually saying it all or it was just her dream. It had to be, had to be her dream, coz there was no way in hell he could be knowing all this. He pulled her closer and whispered right on her lips making her tremble but now with fear more than their close proximity;
Kya hua Mrs. Mallik Shocked
Ye...tumhe ye...
Mujhe kaise pata...Tumne hi bataya Riddhima! She looked up at him all startled. Itna socho mat, main batata hu na sab Jaan don't worry... You remember the day when Ishika came back, us din main tumhe surprise dene tumahare ghar aaya tha, and guess what tumhari so smart best friend Miss Ishika Saxena darwaaja band karna bhul gayi. And maine tum logon ka saara plan sun liya.
Toh...phir tumne...tumne ye shaadi kyun hone di Tum...
Maine bohot socha Riddhima, mera man kiya ki main mana kar du par main nahi kar paya. Kyunki main tumse pyaar karta tha, aur main Ishika ko achi tarah jaanta hu, tumhe agar main sach batane ki koshish karta bhi toh vo jaroor kuch ulta seedha karke tumhe manipulate kar hi leti. Aur phir tumhe kuch bhi samjhana bekaar hota. Aur jab maine socha ki agar Ishika tumhari shaadi vakai kisi aise insaan se kar deti jaisi idea usne mere baare main tumhe de rakhi thi toh tumhari zindagi barbaad ho jaati, jo main kabhi nahi hone de sakta tha. And you know the best part was that I knew ki tumne jab is shaadi ke liye haan kahi thi toh apni marzi se kahi thi, you wante to be with me. Ye sab jo hua ya tumne jo kiya vo toh sirf Ishika ke kehne par, par maine tumhari aankhon main har baar vo dard dekha hai jo maine mehsoos kiya hai tumhare un plans ki vajah se.
She was amazed by the revelation, at the same time she was thrilled to know whatever he did was just for her good. After knowing everything he was ready to take a risk but he couldn't let her even learn a lesson of her own deed. He infact was been with her a every step against himself!
I know its shocking for you, par agar isse pehle main tmhe ye sab batata toh tum kabhi mujhpar yakeen nahi karti.
Toh vo allergy...vo tumhai haalat itni buri...
Vo naatak nahi tha Riddhima, haan maine vo nuts dekhe the aur mujhe laga ki you knew everything still you...is liye main dekhna chahta tha ki agar mujhe kuch ho jaaye toh tumhe koi farak padega bhi ya nahi...aur jo jawaab mujhe mila main yakeenan usse naaraz nahi hua!
Par tumne mujhe is khel main istamaal hone diya...sab jaante the toh mera dil tutne se bacha sakte the na tum...jaante the ki mere liye ye sab kitna mushkil hai phir...
Tumhe kya lagta hai, maine aise hi tumhe Ishika ke hawale chod diya hoga! He gave a disapproving smile, Even after all this you think I would let that happen! She looked away as guilt engulfed each and every nerve of hers. Huh...tumhe kya lagta hai Riddhima, I really changed the tender because of you! Riddhima, you have too many things yet to know baby. Vo news mujhe bohot pehle hi mil chuki thi par tum shayad nahi jaanti vo news baahar kisne leak karvai thi! Tumhari so called best friend Ishika ne. As she looked surprised yet again he continued; yes Riddhima, vo sahi kehti thi that you indeed are innocent, aur isi baat ka bakhubi faayda uthaya hai usne. Par vo mauka use tumne hi diya humesha. Maine kitni baar, kitni baar tumse poochne ki koshish ki with a hope that maybe once you would trust me and let me know. Kam se kam ek baar mujhse directly pooch hi leti, par nahi! Par had tab ho gayi thi jab tumne us Ishika ke baare main sochne ke chakkar main apna haath jala liya. I hated the fact ki tum us jaisi giri hui ladki ko apni life main itna importance de rahi thi.
She now realized the reason why he was been so angry with her that day. All his words started ringing in her ears, how he was always trying to give her a hint to trust her heart and believe him, but she never did.
Par Armaan...Abhimanyu, tumhara business partner...vo toh Is...
Ishika ke saath mila hua hai I know that very well. But it is not like it looks, use maine hi bheja tha Ishika ke paas. Abhimanyu mera bohot acha dost hai aur use hi vo tender ke baare main sach pata chala tha, so I thought even you didn't know him agar main use tumhare plan main shaamil kar du toh I won't have to worry. Main jaanta tha vo tumhe kisi musibat main nahi padne dega, he will be there for you!
Aur isi liye use humesha mere baare main har khabar hoti thi! She now felt foolish as her best friend used her for a plan and her love; her husband directed the plan. What was she, did she even have any existence for the people she loved. Was she only worth been used by everyone
Bas ek sawaal poochna chahti hu Armaan...kya vo pyaar, vo concern vo sab bhi is plan ka hi ek hissa tha
Her words stung him so bad that he pulled her harshly through her arms showing no mercy and said with fire in his eyes meaning each and every word;
Agar main tumse pyaar nahi karta na Riddhima, toh trust me, after all that you did main tumhari aisi haalat karta ki tum har din apne vajood ke hone par pachtati!
Vo pachtava toh mujhe ab bhi hai Armaan! Maine...aise insaan ko dhoka deti rahi jo mujhse sabse jyaada pyaar karta hai. Jisne har waqt sirf mere baarein main socha, jisne humesha mera hi khayal kiya! Tum itne ache kyun ho Armaan...tumne... kyun
He not only did see the tiny tears rolling down her eyes but also saw her heart that was crying. He wiped her tears and caressed her cheek;
Nahi Riddhima, ab mat ro.Abhi toh sab kuch theek hua hai; humare zindagi ki nai shuruat hui hai toh ise ac... he was cut short by her words that made him furious as he heard her say;
Mujhe talaak de do Armaan! You shouldn't be with me, you deservee someone better; far more better.
Aaj bol diya hai, you said it and I heard it, par doobara kabhi himmat bhi mat karna aisi bakwaas karne ki varna mujhse boora koi nahi hoga.
Armaan why don't you understand...tumhari achai ne...mujhe apni khudki nazron main gira diya hai! Main zindagi bhar khud se nazre nahi mila paungi toh tumhare saamne, tumhare saath kaise reh sakti hu
Toh tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti
Armaan tum...
Pyaar karti ho ya nahi...just a yes or no...she was about to retort but he pulled her even closer by her waist and held her face an inch away from his; bas haan ya na main jawaab do Riddhima. She nodded in yes.
Bas,... then I bloody don't care about anyone. Jo hua, ho chuka use bhul jao. Aur ab dekho main kya karta hu, nobody dares make my wife cry, par ab jab tumhari dost ne ye galti kar hi di hai, toh she should get a reward for that isn't it And she will, she surely will receive one soon!
Armaan tum...
Shh...he placed a finger on her lips and carried her to the bed. Baki sab baatein hum baad main karenge, now just close your eyes and sleep. Aaj ke din ke liye bohot rona dhona ho gaya, now enough! Covering her with blanket he kept caressing her head looking at her as his head rested on his hand. But as she still kept looking at him he asked; Kya hua
Armaan...tum itna sab hone ke baad bhi mujhse pyaar kaise kar sakte ho Don't you hat...
Riddhima tumhe mere baare main Ishika ne itna kuch bataya, she warned you so much, phir bhi tum mere pyaar main kyun giri Koi jawaab hai tumhare paas... Nahi na Pyaar karne ki kabhi koi vajah nahi hoti Jaan, vo bas ho jaata hai, aur use aise kisi galti ki vajah se, baithe bithaiye bhula toh nahi jaa sakta na
She noticed how his anger was long forgotten and he was again back to his sweet self.
Thanks Armaan.
Tumse pyaar karne ke liye
Nahi vo sirf ek vajah hui but other than that...for completing me as a woman, for been there for me, for protecting me from every bad and sabse bada thank you, mujhe sab kuch bhulakar apni zindagi main apnane ke liye!
Ab tumhara thanks giving khatam ho gaya ho toh please rest for a while. She just nodded her head so he continued; You need to rest baby. I know you are a strong girl, par filhaal tumpar emotionally kya beet rahi hai I know. Is liye tum aaram karo aur thodi der apne man ko shaanti de do. Placing a sweet kiss on her forehead he turned off the lights and she snuggled into him. The entire night he kept caressing her head assuring her that he was right there being her support.
Early morning as her eyes opened up, as she adjusted her view blinking her eyes, she saw the most blissful scene in front of her. He was still looking down at her like last night and had a killing dimpled smile on his face. But as her gaze moved down and she found him shirtless, last night moments flashed in front of her eyes and she turned red like a tomato. Looking at her change of expressions he understood what was going on in her mind and that made him chuckle.
Oye hoye; kya baat hai, Mrs. Mallik aap sharmati hui aur bhi haseen lagti hai you know that!
Umm...tum...tum raat bhar soye nahi
Hayye...ab jab itni khubsoorat biwi baahon main ho toh kis kambaqt ko neend aayegi
Armaan tum...she shut her eyes tightly out of shyness...let me go neeche sab intezaar kar rahe honge!
Jee nahi koi aapka intezaar nahi kar raha!...I mean mom dad toh yaha hai hi nahi, aur bhabhi toh busy hongi bhai ke liye sab tayyari karne main, and he must be getting ready for work.
Toh tumhe aaj nahi jaana office.
Hmm...soch raha hu kyu na chutti le lu and be with you for the rest of my day.
Nahi...mujhe jaane do main...
Please aise hi raho na...he looked straight in her eyes in a pleading tone. Itne waqt baad mushkil se toh mere kareeb aayi ho; kam se kam ab toh dur hone ke baahane mat socho. As he nuzzled her neck he heard her say in a very low tone;
Aisa mat kaho Armaan please. Whatever I did main use sudhaarne ke liye kuch bhi karne ke liye tayyar hu. Jo tum kaho vo...
Oye...he looked up at her; ab vaapas senti mat ho jaana main toh...vaise you are right, you should do something now since you kept me waiting for so long. She looked at him telling him to go on, he just smiled at her and said;
Theek hai toh I want...i want a kiss.
Kya
Haan...good morning kiss! She couldn't look into his eyes anymore and dropped her gaze. He loved her even more when she shied away, bending a little he kissed her cheek and made her face him again.
Riddhima listen I need to talk to you...she heard carefully as she noticed his tone turning serious.
Dekho kal jo bhi hua I know it was with your consent, but at the same time mujhe ye bhi pata hai kal tum emotionally as well as physically drained out thi isi liye you needed me. But just because we consummated our relation doen't mean ki tumhe mere har physical advance ko accept karne ki jarurat hai, if you aren't comfor...
She placed a finger on his lips and stopped him from saying anything,
Bas tumhari yahi baat bohot buri lagti hai mujhe...you think a lot in my favour Armaan. Jab mujhe tumhari jarurat thi toh tumne mujhe apnaya, mere kareeb aaye, par apna hote hue bhi tum mujhse dur rahoge just because I might not be comfortable! Kyun Armaan Ye galat hai. Aur frankly speaking, main aaj tak kabhi tumhare chune se uncomfortable nahi hui. Not even when I did not wish to accept that I loved you. Main tumhar liye hi bani hu Armaan, and I want our relation to be complete, in all aspects. Maine pehle hi bohot der kar di hai, ab main is rishte ko poori tarah apnana chahti hu; infact apna chuki hu! He wiped the single tear that had formed at the corner of her eye and kissed her lips taking her by surprise.
Later as they went down Muskaan obviously noticed the glow of her face and immediately started with her teasing session.
M Riddhima aaj tujhe kuch jyaada hi der nahi ho gayi neeche aane main.
R Jee...vo bhabhi...meri aankh hi nahi khuli subah jaldi.
M Ohh...acha Toh Armaan ki bhi nahi khuli hogi, kyu Armaan
A Huh Nahi main toh jaag hi raha tha.
M Ohh toh tu soya hi nahi...aur iski aankh nahi khuli...cough cough...tabhi dono ko itni der ho gayi neeche aane main! Kyun Rahul.
Ra Hmm... vaise toh kabhi late nahi uthi tum Riddhima. Aaj hi kya hua Aur Armaan...tu raat bhar soya hi nahi, kya baat hai mere bhai tabiyat toh theek hai na Both Muskaan and Rahul hi-fied as they stiffled their laugh seeing their faces. Riddhima just kept fumbling with her breakfast whereas Armaan understood very well that they were pulling their leg so he spoke up;
Haan Bhai, Bhabhi...you both are correct. Ab yaha koi chota baccha toh hai nahi, and since we both are happily married so I don't think hume jyaada detail main jaane ki jarurat hai about who slept and who didn't. Vaise I don't mind but...soch leejiye bhabhi you really wanna... Riddhima eyes almost popped out with shock at his shameless comment whereas Rahul just shaked his head as he knew his shameless brother too well to react.
M Oye khote chup kar oye. Ek number ka besharam hai tu. Tujhe jara bhi sharam nahi aati ye sab kehte hue, vo bhi apni bhabhi ke saamne.
A Acha...aur topic bhabhi khud chede toh koi problem nahi
Riddhima by now was much past the level of embarrasment so as she couldn't take any more;
Main...mujhe kuch kaam hai main abhi... but before she could get up Armaan held her hand under the table and made her sit back.
Arey chill Riddhima, it's cool. I told you tum in dono ko jaanti nahi ho, they can be real pranksters at time. Ignore them, tum naashta karo.
Ra acha bachu...aur khud ki bhi toh tareef kar liya kar kabhi! Tu kaunsa doodh ka dhula hai Just as Armaan was about to retort Rahul's phone started ringing. As he finished his phone convo he seemed surprised and shocked.
Ra Armaan Ishika; Ishika Saxena teri dost... is been arrested for leaking the tender and making some illegal documents! Riddhima at once stopped eating and looked up at Armaan.
A I know bhai, I myself got her locked.
Ra What Par...ye tu...aise kaise
A She deserves it bhai, you don't know her. Any ways it's better if we don't talk about it...kam se kum hume culprit mil toh gaya na!
Ra Haan vo toh sahi hai par use jail bhej dena...I mean...
R Nahi bhaiyya...everyone including Armaan looked at her as she spoke...Armaan ne bilkul sahi kiya. She deserves nothing less than this. Usne bohot galat kiya hai...aur use is sab k saja milni hi chahiye! Rahul and Muskaan just stared at her in confusion as she said that and left. Armaan told them that everything was fine and just followed her to the room, he found her standing in the balcony so he went and wrapped his arms from behind around her waist.
Riddhima are you okay He caressed her waist bringer her closer I am sorry but I had to do this, main use aise hi nahi jaane de skata tha.Ek baar aaf karke pachta chuka hu, par is baar after all that she did to you I can't.
I know Armaan...I am okay.
Really ...are you He turned her around and she immediately dropped her gaze. He held her chin and said;
It's okay Riddhima. I understand it's not easy. Tumne apne itne saal gujaare hai uske saath; aftera ll she was your friend! I know it's still hard to accept.
Hmm...best friend.He wrapped her in his arms and caressed her back. But I guess this is how it was supposed to end. I am sorry...sorry for all that I did Armaan. And thanks, mujhe apni zindagi ka sabse bada sabak dene ke liye.
I am sorry too Riddhima, he held her face and caressed her cheek, I had been selfish somewhere to not let you go. I am Sorry that I couldn't let you go...and Sorry because I can never let you go...because I love you Riddhima. I love you a lot.
I love you too Armaan. Both of them kissed each other and were lost in their own love land. Their relation was unique, where both loved each other unconditionally but also hurt each other only for their good and after making sure that they had the medicine for the given wound.
Such was their bond, even their hatred, revenge and fights had the love they held for each other.
