'Uski koi jarurat nehi hai Champ' Hum log yaha hai'.' They turn around to face their friend after five whole years'

Tears where shining in their eyes seeing each other after whole long five years'

'Armaan'' Saying this the guy hugs him'

Yes'!!! It was Armaan Mallik'. Dr.Armaan Mallik' He was now a father of a daughter' Ariana' His princess' Apple of his eyes' If he love more then anyone in his life' Its now Ariana'

'Mujhse nehi milenge Armaan'' Both guy came out from the hug when they heard the lady talk'.

'Anji' I miss u sooo much'' Armaan said hugging her'

'Miss u too Armaan'' Anjali said hugging her brother in law' 'Armaan' Tum aise kaise bina bataye chala gaya' Pata hai Ridzy kitni ro rahi ti' Woh bhi''

'Dekho Anji' Us din jo huva' Basket ne jo faisla liya, uski baad mujhe tik nehi laga main yaha apna beti ki saat reh sakta ta''

'Beti'' Anjali and Atul said together'

Armaan move to Ariana who was sitting in the trolly smiling to her father and his friends'

'Yeh mere Beti hai' Ariana'' Armaan said taking her in his arms'

Atul and Anjali didn't know wht to say' They heard Shashank said something else and now they r seeing something else in front of their eyes..

Anjali and Atul didn't talk for sometimes just keep looking at Ariana who was in Armaan's arm'

'Kya huva Anji' Champ'' Armaan asked'

Anjali thought some misunderstood must be their' Someone was creating all this, but why'

Atul was about to say when Anjali hold his hand telling from her eyes, it wasn't the right time'

'Kuch nehi Armaan'

Yeh dekh rahi hoon meri niece kitni pyaari lag rahi hai' Bilkul uski Mamma jaisa'' Anjali said'

Ariana smile shyly hearing this'

Anjali took her from Armaan and kiss her cheeks and hugs her tightly'

'Armaan' Tum yaha se ghar jaengina'' Atul asked'

'Haan Champ' Lekin kya Basket waha rehte hai'' Armaan asked'

'Haan Armaan'' Atul said pushing the trolly as they make their way out from airport'

Armaan think for a while and look at Ariana who was talking with Anjali and laughing' They were moving ahead from Armaan and Atul'

'Champ' Phir mujhe kahin aur inthizaam karna hoga' Toh ek kaam karte hai' Main aur Ariana pehle Bi se milne chala jaata hoon' Tab tak tum mujhe ek nayi ghar dhundena please''

'Armaan.. Kyu tum Ridzy se dur chala gaya' Kyu tum uske paas waapas nehi jaana chahte'' Atul asked'

Before Armaan could answer him, Ariana call him'

'Chalo.. Ariana koh bhuk laga hoga' Please mere yeh kaam kardo.. Bina kuch pooche' Please''

'Tik hai' Chalo''

Armaan took taxi and leave with Ariana to meet Bi'

Anjali turn to Atul, tear shining in her eyes'

'Yeh kya hogaya Atul' Armaan ne Ridzy koh galat samjha' Aur yeh uski beti kaise ho sakta hai' Arima uski beti haina' Armaan aur Ridzy ki''

'Pata nehi Anjali' Lekin kuch na kuch toh jarur huva hai' Koi in dono koh alag karna chahte hai aur kaamiyab bhi hogaya''

'Lekin yeh dono koh alag karke kissi koh kya milenge Atul''

Before Atul could answer, his pager goes off'

'Yeh bhi wrong time main' Chalo Anjali' Humhe hospital bhi pochna hai'

Aur haan yaad rakhna' Humhe kissi koh nehi batana Armaan waapas aaya hai' Armaan ne mana kya'

Jab ek din pehle uski call aaya ta tum mere saat ti toh pata chala woh waapas aa raha hai' Usne yeh nehi bataya uski beti ki saat'

Anyways hum kissi koh kuch kehne se pehle humhe yeh pata lagana hoga kya huva Armaan aur Riddhima ki beech yeh dono 5saal pehle alag huva'

Iswaqt chalo nehi toh hum dono koh der hojaenge' Aur duty ki baad main Armaan ke liye ek ghar bhi dhundna hai''

Both left for Sanjeevani'

So many questions were roaming around their mind'

Who did all this' and for wht'

IN SANJEEVANI'

Riddhima was checking some files' She look every 2minutes to Arima who was doing her work sitting on the counch which was kept on the right side'

Smile come to her face when she sees Arima doing wired faces while thinking'. Thinking how cute she looks and how much happiness she bring her life after coming to her life'

Riddhima thought run to the past, the day she gave birth to Arima'

FLASH BACK '

Five Years Ago'

After giving delivery her two beautiful daughter Riddhima was hell tired' Dr.Kriti was her attending doctor and she left saying she would be shifted to private room soon'

As Riddhima was tired she fell asleep and when she wake up she saw she was in room with her daughter next to her' Riddhima look to see where her other daughter was'

Then Dr.Kriti came to check her with Shashank followed by her'

'How r u feeling Riddhima'' Dr.Kriti asked'

'Im fine Doctor'' Riddhima said sitting and taking her daughter in her arm'

'Good'Tomorrow u can go home' Now please feed ur daughter'' Dr.Kriti said'

'Doctor' Meri dusri beti kaha hai'' Riddhima asked'

Dr.Kriti look at Shashank'

'Woh'' She didn't know wht to say'

'Kya huva Dr.Kriti' Woh tik haina''

'Riddhima' Beti' Woh' Yaha nehi hai'' Shashank said'

'Mujhe pata hai is kamre main nehi hai' Lekin woh hai kaha Papa' Mujhe usko dekhna hai.. Aur Armaan kaha hai''

Before Shashank could say anything, others came' They were happy to see Riddhima and her baby fine' Anjali took baby from her'

'Di' Armaan kaha hai''

'Pata nehi Ridzy' Tohdi der pehle yaha aaya ta'

Dad' Aapki baat huva na use' Kya kaha usne'' Anjali asked'

'Woh' Armaan kuch kaam ke liye out of station gaya hai' Argent'' Shashank said'

'Lekin Papa' Woh mujhe batakar jaate hai' Meri phone kaha hai' Main use call karti hoon'' Riddhima search for her phone'

'Ridzy' Maine Armaan koh phone kiya' he is not answering'' Atul said'

'Meri phone kaha hai' Mujhe Armaan koh call karna hai'' Riddhima said'

Muskaan took it from the bag near by her bed' Riddhima take the phone from Muskaan and dial Armaan number' He didn't answer her..

She keep calling and calling but, he didn't answer or call back her'

After sometimes, his phone was out of range'

FLASH BACK END'

'Mammaa'' Riddhima came back to real land when she heard Arima calling her'

'Kya huva Angel'' Riddhima ask closing her file'

'Aap kaha kho gayi' Maine aapko kitni baar bhulaya' lekin aap hai ki meri sunti nehi hai'' Arima said who was standing near her chair'

Riddhima took Arima and make her sit on her lap'

'Toh aap kyu humhe bhula rahi ti..' Kissing her hair Riddhima asked'

'Mamma' Maine homework karli' Kya ab hum jaa sakte hai meri friends se milne'' Arima asked flashing her dimple'

Riddhima look at the time and as her duty is over now'

'Tik hai Angel'

Mamma koh 2min doh' Mamma yeh sab arrange karke aapko lejaungi ok'

Aur aap bhi sab books tik se bag main rakho' Phir hum aapke friends se milke ghar jaenge' Dinner karengi aur aapki favorite cartoon dekhenge saat main'

Lekin aapko 8bhaje sojana hoga ok''

'Ok Mamma' U r the best' Love u'' Arima said kissing her cheeks'

'Love u too Angel'' Riddhima said'

Both collect everything they want and leave to meet Arima's friend' They went to childrens ward and when other kids saw her, they came out from their bed'

Riddhim and Arima spend time with them and at 7 they leave to their home'

NEXT DAY'

Armaan and Ariana were staying with Bi for sometimes'

Ariana enjoy Bi's company a lot' Armaan request Bi to move with them so she can also take care of Ariana when he goes to work'

Ariana was playing with her new friend in front garden' Armaan and Bi were sitting little away from them to keep a look on them'

'Armaan' Beta' Kyuna tum Riddhima ki paas waapas chala jae' Mujhe yakin hai woh tum dono koh apna enge'' Bi said..

'Nehi Bi' Jabse Riddhima koh pata chala woh maabande wali hai tabse woh khush nehi ti.. Yeh bacche toh sirf mujhe chahiyeh ti'

Aur us din ek baar bhi usne humhare beti koh nhi dekha' Balki yeh kaha use nhi chahiyeh yeh'' Armaan said'

FLASH BACK'

THE DAY ARIANA WAS BORN'

Armaan came running to meet Riddhima but be fore he could meet her doctor stop him' Taking him to where his and Riddhima's daughter was with nurse'

'Yeh tumhare beti Armaan'' Doctor said'

Armaan took her in his arms and kiss her forehead'

'Doctor' Basket' I mean Riddhima tik haina' Kya main use mil sakta hoon'' Armaan said carring his daughter'

'Haan kyu nehi Armaan' Lekin Riddhima ne kaha use yeh bacchi nehi chahiyeh'' Doctor said'

'Lekin pehle use nehi chahiyeh ti' Dheere dheere woh bhi is bacche koh dekhne ke liye excited ti' Toh aaj achanak kya huva'' Armaan said'

'Pata nehi Armaan.. Lekin Riddhima ne kaha who tumse akele main milenge' Bacchi ke saat nehi'' Doctor said'

Armaan look at his daughter who was sleeping peacefully'

'Yeh baat hai toh main Basket ke nehi mil sakta' Use humhare bacchi nehi chahiyeh toh kya huva' Mujhe chahiyeh'

Main isse apne saat rakhunga'.' Saying this Armaan left with his daughter'

FLASH BACK ENDS'

'Bi' Us din ki baad maine Riddhima koh 5saal tak nehi dekha' Aur kissi koh nehi bataya main kaha ta'

Riddhima koh Ariana nehi chahiyeh' Lekin mujhe humhare pyar ki nishan chahiyeh ta' Issiliye maine use lekhe dur chalagaya' Dar lagta ta kahin Riddhima Ariana koh mujhse durna bheje''

Tears roll down from his blue eyes remembering that day'.

Armaan wipe his tears before Ariana could see it as she just look at him'

'Lekin Armaan' Beta' Kya tum ek baar bhi Riddhima se baat karne ki koshish ki'

5saal tum use alag raha'

Kya ek baar bhi jaane se pehle tumne yeh jaan ne ki koshish ki jo doctor ne kaha who sahi hai ya''

'Bi.. Riddhima ne pehle se hi kaha use nhi chahiyeh bacche itni jaldi'

Aur poochne ki koi baat hi nehi ta'' Armaan said look at his little princess who was running in the garden..

'Armaan' Tumne yehi galat kya' Ek baar Riddhima se baat karna chahiyeh ta tujhe''

'Please Bi' Jisko humhare pyar ki nishan nehi chahiyeh, use main kabhi baat karna pasand nehi karunga'

Haan main aaj bhi use utna pyaar karta hoon jitna pehle karta ta'

Lekin jab bhi uski who faisla yaad aate hai toh'' Armaan stop it'

Silent took between them and to break it Bi said'' Tujhe kaise samjhaun Armaan' Chalo raat hone wali hai' Ariana koh andar bhulalo' Tand bhi ho raha hai' Tum bhi andar chalo''

Bi went inside taking tea tray which was kept on the table where they have been sitting'

Armaan look at Ariana who was laughing'

'Basket' Tumne aisa faisla kyu liya'

Nehi toh aaj hum dono saat hota'

Hum dono alag hoke bhi Ariana mujhe tumhare yaad har waqt dilate hai'

Uski aankhe tumhare aankhe jaisi hai'

Uski aadat bhi bilkul tumhare jaisi hai'

Gussa hamesha naakhpe rehte hai'

Uski har aadat mujhe tumhe bhulne nehi dete ek second ke liye bhi Basket'

Kyu kiya aisa Basket'.

Kiya tumhe sach main humhare pyari beti nehi chahiyeh'

Kiya doctor ne sahi kaha'

Ya Bi sahi keh rahi hai mujhe tumse pehle poochna chahiyeh ta''

Armaan was lost in his thought'.

'Armaan' Ariana' Andar aao'' Bi call and Armaan look at Ariana who came running to him'

Taking her in his arms, Armaan went inside while his mind were busy thinking about his basket' his Riddhima'

IN GUPTA HOUSE'

Anjali came to meet Shashank who was in his studies' Knocking the door she came in when Shashank said come in'

'Dad' Kya aapko pata hai Dr.Armaan Mallik ne New Sanjeevani join karne wala hai'' Anjali said before Shashank asked why she was here'

Hearing Armaan name Shashank look at her daughter'

'Armaan' Armaan Mallik' Woh kab waapas aaya'' Shashank said shock writing all over his face'

'Dad please kissi koh mat batana kyunki Armaan nehi chaahte Ridzy koh pata chale woh yaha India main hai'' Anjali said'

Shashank was lost in his thought and Anjali wait for him to speak' When he didn't say anything'.

'Dad' Kya huva' R u ok''

'hah' Main tik hoon Anjali'

Aur mujhe nehi pata Armaan ne apply ki ya nehi' Dekhna padega'. I would be happy if he join new Sanjeevani'

Waise bhi us branch koh ek kabil doctor ki jarurat hai''

'Dad' Main bhi hoon waha' Aur Atul bhi'

Aur hum bohot khush hongi Armaan waha join kare toh'.

Lekin Dad' Please it's a request kissi koh mat batana Armaan ke baare main'' Anjali said'

'U can trust me Anjali.. I wouldn't till he don't want''

'So if he apply can we hire him'' Anjali asked'

'Ofcourse ' Armaan bohot accha doctor hai' One of the best''

'Ok Dad' Mujhe abhi jaana hai''

Anjali went leaving Shashank who was lost in his thought'

'Armaan waapas aagaya' Lekin kyu' Kya uski beti bhi saat main'.'
