'Exactly Dada'

Aap mujhe bhi bhuljate hai kaam ki wajahse..' Ariana said looking away'

'Accha' Kya naam hai uski'' Riddhima asked'

'Ariana'' Arima said playing with her teddy which she always leaves in the car'

She was lost in her past remembering the day when she and Armaan fight '

FLASH BACK'

Riddhima was lying on the bed with her head on Armaan chest' Her hand was on Armaan chest and Armaan holding her hand while his other hand was on her back holding her closed to him'

No one talks the rest of the lunch time and Armaan leave kissing Ariana forehead'

AR MANSION'

Riddhima came back home with Arima and ask Arima to freshen up while she makes dinner for them'

Anjali call and said she will be visiting them tonight and Riddhima asked to come earlier so they can have dinner together'

While Riddhima was making dinner, Arima came in her night dress and open the television to watch her favorite cartoon'.

'Arima' Angel volume kam karo baccha'' Riddhima called from the kitchen'

'Ridzy mujhe tumse kuch poochna hai'' Anjali at start after thinking how to bring the topic'.

'Kya baat hai Di''

'Armaan ki bare main Ridzy'' Anjali said'

'Ridzy' 5saal hogayi' Kya tumhe Armaan ki yaad nehi aati'' Anjali asked'

'Di'. Armaan koh humhare yaad nehi aata' Issiliyeh toh itni din main ek baar bhi call nehi kya'' Riddhima reply not looking at Anjali'

'Ridzy' Sach sach batao aisa kya huva tum dono ki beech Armaan achanak chala gaya'' Anjali asked'

'Kuch nehi huva di' Sab tik ta' Pata nehi achanak'

Haan yeh sach hai ki mujhe pehle itni jaldi bacche nehi chahiyeh ti'

I just keep waiting desperately to take the baby in my hand'

To love and care '

Even Armaan knows it' Hum dono ne kitna sapna dekha'' tear forms in Riddhima's eyes thinking about that time she spends with her love' Her Armaan'

Anjali keep looking at Riddhim and listening to her'

'Jab maine Arima koh janam diya who mere saat nehi ti' Hum sabko pata hai humhare kaam sabse pehle aate hai'

Lekin di' maine socha who humhare bacche koh dekhne toh aayenge' Lekin nehi di.. Ek baar bhi'. Dekhne toh dur Armaan ne toh phone bhi nehi kya' Nahi mere phone utaya'

Maine papa se poocha'

Woh argent kaam ke liye out of station gaya' Lekin kya pata ta woh hamesha ke liye mujhe aur Arima koh chodke '' Riddhima wipe her tears which fall down on her cheek'

'Papa ne kaha' Lekin maine dekha papa Armaan se baat kar raha ta aur uski baad Armaan chala gaya' bina kuch kahe, bina kissi se mile'' Anjali said'

'Pata hai di' Papa ne kaha Armaan ne use bataya' Aur meri choti beti bhi'' Riddhima stop and started to sob'

'Choti beti.. Lekin tumne toh sirf Arima koh janam diya' Toh phir...' Anjali said'

Riddhima look at Anjali tears falling down her eyes' She hasn't tell anything about this' Only Dr.Kriti, Shashank and Riddhima know about it'

'Di' Maine Papa koh aur Dr.Kriti se mana kya kissi koh batane ke liye' Main khud Armaan koh batane wali ti lekin woh'' Riddhima stop again'

Anjali was shocked to hear this'

Tears roll down from Anjali eyes hearing this'

Now everything was clear to Anjali'

This misunderstanding was create between Armaan and Riddhima' Anjali knows who was behind all this'

'Mujhe Dad se baat karna hi hoga' Jaldi'' Anjali thought'

Armaan was laying down on Ariana bed her on top of him' Her head was on his chest and his on hand on her back while he was caring her hair with his another head'

'Toh kaisa laga new school'' Armaan asked'

Ariana was desperately waiting for her Dada to ask'

'Pata hai Dada' I got a new friend'' Ariana said'

'Wow' First day and u got a friend princess' Not bad'' Armaan said looking at her cute face'

Her everything was so similar to Riddhima and whenever Armaan look at her, Riddhima come infront of him'

Aur when I talk to her Dada' I feel a connection'.' Ariana said'

'Connection of new friendship' Right Princess'' Armaaan said'

Ariana nod her head not knowing if really it was friendship or more then that'

Armaan look at his Princess and tell her to sleep as it was late'

Putting her to sleep he went back to his room and sit near the studies table opening a file and drowning him into the work'

NEXT DAY'

IN GUPTA HOUSE'

Shashank was lost in his thought from the time Anjali told him Armaan was back'

So many question was around in his mind and making him restless'

Why Armaan came back'

Did his daughter came back with him'

Why he suddenly took the decision to come back after 5yrs'

Will he try to meet Riddhima and clear everything between them'

Wht will happen if Riddhima come to know about the truth'

Wht Am I to tell my daughter' Why I did all this'

Or maybe Armaan wouldn't try to meet her'

If he came back for her, he would have gone to AR mansion not buy another house for them'

Wht is going to happen now'

Padma sense something was bothering him from days'

Padma ask him but he said nothing just works and patient'

Padma was serving breakfast to him' He was looking at the news paper trying to read it but his mind was somewhere else busy thinking about something else'

Doorbell rang and Padma went to answer'

Shashank heard Anjali wishing her mother good morning and asking for her dad'

Next he heard the door closed and Anjali coming inside with her mother'

'Sit Anjali' Main breakfast serve karti hoon'' Padma said'

Anjali look at her father who was trying to read news paper but wasn't 1% interest'.

'Nehi mom' Maine breakfast karke aayi hoon' Mujhe dad se akele main kuch baat karni hai' Bohot important'' Anjali said not looking at Padma' Padma thought it might be related to a patient so she left giving them privacy'

'Dad' Mujhe aapse baat karni hai'' Anjali said'

'Bolo Anjali'' Shashank said still looking at the news paper'

Anjali took it from his hand and' 'Dad' Yaha nehi' Studies main chale, if u r done with ur breakfast'' Anjali said giving him a fake smile which he didn't notice'

Shashank look at her daughter for sometimes and then saying, 'let's go''

Anjali move behind him and when he enters, she also enters and closed the door'

'Kya baat hai Anjali'' Shashank asked'

'Dad' Why u did this'' Anjali asked'

Shashank was confused by her question' 'Wht did I do Anjali''

'Dad' Why u did this to Ridzy'' Anjali again asked making him more confused'

'Main kiya kiya Anjali'' Shashank asked moving closed to him and to hold her shoulder'

Anjali move back before her father could touch him'

'Why u lie to Ridzy'

Why u lie to Armaan'

Why u lie to me'

Why u lie to mom'

Why I lie to everyone Dad'' Anjali asked screaming to him'.

Shashank was shocked his daughter screaming at him like that'

'Maine aise kiya kya hai Anjali''

'Kiya kiya hai' Aapne kya nehi kiya Dad'

Ridzy koh Armaan se dur kiya' Yeh jaante huve bhi who Armaan ki bina nehi reh sakte'

Jab Ridzy koh Armaan ki sabse zyada jarurat ti tab'.

Aapne ek patni koh pati se dur kya'

Aapne ek ma koh uski bacchonse dur kiya'

Aapne ek beti koh ek ma se dur kiya'.

Aur aap pooch rahi ho aapne kya kiya'

Yehi nehi'

Aapne apne hi beti koh kaha uski husband kaam ke liye use chodke chala gaya'

Aur ek bacche koh bhi apne ma se dur kiya'

Aur yeh kaha woh'.' Anjali stop' Tears were falling from her eyes'

Shashank was hell shocked to hear this'

He wasn't expecting Anjali to say all this to him' and that too so soon'

'Kisne yeh sab baate tumse bola Anjali'

Us Armaan Mallik ne'' Shashank asked as anger took over his eyes'

'Nehi Dad'

Armaan aur Riddhima ne'

Dono ki baat sunke mujhe sab kuch samajh main aagayi'

Woh aap hi hai jo Armaan se kaha Riddhima koh un dono ki bacchi nehi chahiyeh'

Woh aap ta Dad'

Jo Ridzy koh kaha uski ek beti janam dete hi margayi'' Anjali shouted at him'

Shashank just keep looking at Anjali'

He knows he couldn't get out from this mess now'

'Dad' Maine kabhi nehi socha aap aisa karenge'

Kyu kiya aisa Dad' Ridzy toh aapki laadli haina''' Anjali said'

'Haan haan haan'

Maine yeh sab kiya..' Shashank said'.
