~ ll #7 Arsh FF Mr.Arrogant Weds Ms.Attitudell ~
Part 54
Same old story that everybody knows, it's one heart holding on, one heart letting go.
Note : This particular update is brought with several gaps of months
This cant be happening. Why Shilpa Why did you go ? Anjali glanced around the place stunned. It wasnt only Armaan who had left abruptly, Shilpa was gone before she could make it here. Nothing was left. Not even one trace of her. The whole room felt empty and dead. As realization struck to her Anjali set on the bed mortified. With her hands shaking she picked up her phone dialing Armaan's number. The number you are dialing is currently unavailable. "Damn you Armaan Where are you " She cursed as she took the phone again dialing Atul.
"Atul !! Thankgod you picked up ur phone. You and Rahul need to comeback at this very moment. Something terrible has happened here. "
"We were just away for a week for godsake ! What did go so wrong that both of them are missing.. " Atul spoke stunned as he glanced around the room in shock..
Rahul shook his head troubled.. "Maybe we are wrong. Maybe they both went together.. "
"No its not possible Rahul. Armaan had taken leave from hospital saying he needs to leave for a business trip. And Shilpa have left afterwards. I cant believe Shilpa is gone. " Anjali whimpered. " Surely she had a reason to go. Maybe we should tell Armaan he might be able to.. "
Atul snorted.. "But how ??? Does anyone know where the hell is Armaan even. He didint bother telling any of us. And now Shilpa also have left without informing any of us. How are we supposed to know ? "
"This is terrible " Rahul sighed " Am sure something bad had happened between them otherwise they wont fall apart like this. Something very terrible happened in our absence "
2 Months Later :
Rahul smiled taking Muskaan's hand " We are going to get married as soon as Bro comes back.. "
" But Rahul its been two months did you try to contact him ? Did he call.. "
"I dont think he has time to contact any of us. " Rahul shook his head in anger.. "But he is my brother i cant take such a big step without his permission "
"Rahul " Muskaan sighed " I am not worried about Marriage. I would love it if he is present here with us. And maybe if Shilpa.. "
" She is gone " Rahul cut back her words sadly.. " Eventhough we dont know why , i dont think Shilpa is coming back. "
" Everything is going to be fine Rahul. Dont worry " She rubbed his arm comforting him while Rahul sighed feeling miserable. Two months have passed and all he saw was worry and tension in everyone's face. He didint knew he should be much worried about his brother or Shilpa. Just comeback both of you No one is happy without you..
" Guys ! " Atul ran towards them panting.. " We need to go Armaan's house Right now !! "
" Why what happened.. " Rahul asked alarmed.. "Is everything fine Dr.Atul?" Muskaan inquired
"I guess no " Atul shook his head troubled .. " Armaan is back and he wants to meet us "
The four of them stared at Armaan bewildered by his presence. But more than that his appearance stunned them all. Bloodshot eyes , rugged look and disheveled hair .Rahul shook his head swearing under his breath , he broke the awkward silence " Bro !! What the hell have you done with yourself ? You look like a drunken jerk "
" Whatever " Armaan muttered under his breath as he glanced around the room stunned. " Why is this place so damn messy ?? "
"We didint touch anything , we just left it like it was " Atul shrugged his shoulders awkwardly..
Armaan glanced at them with his weary eyes. Guilt and misery filled in his eyes as he spoke in hesitation.. " Where.. Where is Shilpa ? "
Muskaan passed a stunned look at Rahul as he stared back at him troubled.. " Bro uhh. Before that where were you past two months. You didit even bother contacting any of us ? "
Armaan rubbed his neck tiredly.. " Its not that i didint bother " " I just... Didint have enough courage to " He whispered.. " I was in Europe doing continuous meetings. Its over finally we have got back our sanjeevani " He tried to smile but it didint reach his eyes.
Atul noticed the sadness in him and felt bad.. " Armaan thats a very good news. We are.. " His voice faltered as Armaan moved closer interrupting him..
"Where is Shilpa ? "
The question silenced all of them. Rahul passed a quick look at Atul who shifted back nervous. Anjali who stood in corner quietly finally answered. "She is gone Armaan. The day you left when i came she wasnt here. "
Emotions flickered on his face as he stood stunned for a while. Armaan shook his head with a painful hiss.. " What do you mean she is gone ?? She cant leave me dammit " Desperation flicked through his eyes.. " I know i was wrong. Very wrong . Maybe i am the worst person on the earth. But.. I never wanted her to go.. You all know it right.. " Armaan started to babble suddenly feeling terrible. Atul tried to calm him down as he shifted back wincing.. " Dont touch me. I..." Suddenly he fell loss of words not knowing what to say.. He started to search around the room trying to find a trace of her.. None. Everything was gone.
" Thats exactly what happened Armaan " Anjali sighed feeling miserable for Armaan. " We tried to contact you so many times to tell you She left "
" Its her stupidity then " He mumbled distractedly as he noticed a paper lying on the floor. As he studied the paper his eyes grew in shock and he stumbled back. Clutching the paper he turned around feeling hard to breath. " And she have left with something precious "
Atul shook his head walking around the closet.. "Armaan everything is on their place. The money, jeweleries. If you really think she took your money..."
" My Baby " He whispered in a audible gasp.. "She has our baby she took away my baby "
Atul stared at him once again in Shock. Suddenly he couldnt blame Armaan for whatever happened. Never in life he had seen Armaan Mallik the confident man so broken. His own eyes grew misty as Anjali cried beside him.. " Armaan thats wonderful.. "
He shook his head as pain filled in his eyes.. " I dont think so. I am never going to get to see my baby "
Rahul shook his head feeling a lump form on his throat. " Dont say that bro. We will go and find her. Together ! You will get back your wife and child. We will surely... "
" NO !! " He whispered turning away from them. Anjali moved closer to him.. " Dont say that Armaan. Dont give up so easily. am sure if we try we can find her "
And then he turned. With tears in his eyes which stunned all of them. Atul brushed away his own tears seeing him suffer. Armaan shook his head with a painful smile .. " We wont go after her.. Not me... Not an of you.. God knows how much i love her. How much i crave for her. But i have said things which have ashamed me myself. I dont.. Let her go she is better off without me.. "
Whatever happened that day , couldnt be forgotten by any of them. Atul could still clearly remember how broken he had seen Armaan Mallik for the very first time his life. It stunned Anjali how the arrogant , confident and always daring Armaan Mallik had lost everything in one single day. Rahul didint like any of these. He felt he had lost his own brother along with Shilpa. Gone was the confident Armaan Mallik and replaced with a living statue. A man who had no feelings , no emotions , No response to any talks. Seeing him was like seeing a dead. Muskaan felt miserable whenever she saw the gang. They would sit quiet every single day. Now married to Rahul she did her best trying to ease his pain but whenever she saw Armaan she couldnt even guess how much pain he was going through..
As for Armaan he had make sure he spends all his time in meetings and his duty. He went on every single Conference and Medical trip not missing any of them. Atul nicely knew he was doing this trying to divert his mind from Shilpa. But it saddened him that Armaan was torturing himself through his work. A year had passed and there was nothing any of them could do about it. No matter how hard they tried to make him understand he didint bother listening. They did clear out a fact. The old Armaan Mallik was never coming back..
He held her close feeling content and Happy. She sighed and shifted closer to him. With one hand she rubbed his back while on other hand she held their baby. He glanced down at the sweet angle on her hand and gave a light kiss on her forehead.. " My angle " He whispered softly and glanced at his wife who smiled at him widely..
Ohh He was content. He had never been so happy in his life. Thats when all of a sudden he started to feel a unease within him. Shilpa started to struggle in his arms. Clutching the baby in her arms she pulled away from him, her eyes filled of tears.. He didint knew what was happening , why was she crying.. He tried to get close as she pushed him away and shrieked.. " I hate you Armaan Mallik !! "
" Please dont say that.. I love you.. I love my baby " He didint understand why he was pleading. But he did..
"You failed me .. You failed her.. " She whispered slowly drifting away from him..
" No .. I... " He felt loss of words as he tried to get closer to her but couldnt. Frustration coiled inside him as he pleaded again.. " Please nooo"
Shilpa shook her head slowly and slowly drifting away.. " You hurt me.. I hate you Armaan.. I hate you... You hurt me... "
" No dont !! Dont go Please "
"I... Hate... youuu.. "
" Pleaseee "
" Armaan "
" Pleasee No dont Pleasee "
He set up on the bed slowly mumbling.. Please. Clearing off the sweat on his forehead he glanced down on his pillow which was wet from his tears. The past year had been a hell for him. He would wake up every single night with the same dream and with the same cries. And mumbling the same words.. "Please " He closed her eyes as pain and misery filled inside him..
He buried his face in his hands trying to ease off the frustration. A soft sound made him glance around his room. Something rushed inside his room and jumped on his bed making his way to his lap..
" The damn dog " He muttered under his breath catching Shao Pao and caressing his back.. "Cant believe she left me with you.. "
Shao Pao glanced up at him with his small eyes, for a moment Armaan felt as if he was someone who understand his pain. No he didint want to get attached to the dog. But he was. Day by day Shao Pao was becoming his only friend who understood his pain. Whenever he woke up from his painful dream he was beside ready to help him..
" She left you for duty right.. " He glanced back at Shao pao with a small smile. The dog jumped back on his bed as if reacting to his words..
" It doesnt matter " He sighed " Its not same without her. Nothing is same without her.. " The dog wiggled closer to him caressing his hand with his tongue.. His eyes grew misty as he took Shao Pao in his hands. " My baby must be now of about 6 months now. What do you think he or she will look like.. "
Shao Poa glanced at him with sad eyes making a small noise. Armaan glanced away closing his eyes for a moment.. " God knows how badly i want to see them. But i cant right. They dont deserve a man like me.. "
Shao Pao let a sound of protest as Armaan caressed his back lying down on the bed.. "I know I know. But lets just live with that truth right. They deserve better. I wont bother them "
Eventhough he meant every single word of it , it was hard for him to accept the fact. It was hard to accept he wont meet his wife or baby. " But they are better of with me " He whispered softly drifting into a restless sleep once again..http://www.india-forums.com/new_reply_form.asp?TID=1769326

Part 55
" I cant see Armaan like this Anymore.. " Anjali sighed taking a seat beside Atul. Muskaan stood in the corner while others set back in deep discussion.
"Among us who is happy seeing him suffer so much." Atul reasoned around quietly as Rahul gave a nod.. "I just wish if we could do anything to help him out.. "
Muskaan listened to their talks and gave a deep thought about it. They had been discussing about this matter from long time still no one had a solution. All of a sudden a idea formed in her mind.. " Guys!! Listen i have got a great idea.."
Everyone turned around glancing at her curious. Muskaan rushed forward and set beside them excited.. " A year have passed, dont you think we have waited too long for Armaan to go after her. If he isint willing then we have to make him do it. At Any cost! "
Atul and Anjali slowly nodded while Rahul frowned.. "And how is that supposed to Happen.. "
"Simple Mission change Armaan Mallik " Muskaan Grinned while Anjali chuckled.. "Thats quiet a name. But what are we going to do , Whats the plan.. "
Muskaan leaned forward and explained to them with all details. As she set up Rahul kissed her cheeks grinning.. " I didint knew my wife was so smart"
"Wow Muskaan I am impressed. Am sure if we go along with this plan he will say definitely agree.. " Anjali concluded with a satisfied nod.
Rahul agreed with a smile.. " So i guess we better start the Mission Change Armaan Mallik.. "
" Whats wrong Atul , you look worried. Are you unhappy about the Plan ?"
Anjali inquired seeing the sullen look on his face.. Atul shook his head sadly.. " No i just pray the plan works. I was actually thinking If Armaan is like this here, What Shilpa might be going through wherever she is. Am sure she is suffering just like Armaan "
Setting back the Baby cot in the floor she turned to the women who had just eased her life.. " Reena i dont know how to thank you.. This is such a big help for me.. "
Reena rolled her eyes and smiled.. " Come on Shilpa. I have seen you struggle from a year now. You have been trying so hard to get ur own place in here. I couldnt see u suffer i had to help. Anyways i had this small house all deserted its good now i am renting it out.. "
Shilpa smiled broadly as she recalled how much she had to struggle to survive in here.. " Believe me it wasnt easy sharing room with tenants being Pregnant. Now i feel burden less having my own place. "
" And now i am sure the two beautiful Angles will also sleep nicely in their own Room " Reena spoke quietly staring down at the baby cot caressing them. " Do you know you have the world most adorable Twins.. They are so Chubby "
Shilpa laughed staring down at her babies.. " They quiet weighted big when they were born. For a moment i thought i cant go through labor. But you are right they look so gorgeous.. " Just like their Father.. The thought made her flinch as she glanced away. No matter how hard she tried to put away him, No matter how hard she tried to think he doesnt exist it was always impossible. What can i do they just look like Armaan..
Reena interrupted her thoughts with her bubbly voice.. " Whenver i come to collect rent i will Surely come to visit this two angles. What are their name... "
Shilpa smiled and whispered staring down at her babies.. "Aryan and Arav"
Armaan set drinking his coffee while doing his work on the Laptop. He glanced up as he noticed Rahul and Atul coming inside.. " Dont you think its too late in night"
" Hey Armaan " Atul greeted while Rahul gave a silent Nod. They came and set beside Armaan while he did his work.. " What other time.We all are in duties otherwise.. And You are always busy when will you take a break... "
Armaan paused his work and glanced back at them.. " And what am i supposed to do by taking a break.. "
"Talk with us " Rahul suggested. " Dont you get bored working all day.. "
" I dont think so " Armaan muttered and got back into his work.. Rahul and Atul exchanged a knowing look. "Armaan we were thinking to stay back here tonight with you.. "
Armaan stilled and glanced back at them worried.. "Why here ?? Anjali and Muskaan must be waiting you should go.. "
Rahul rolled his eyes "We have already informed them that we are staying back. We were thinking of doing a Boys night out.. "
Armaan stared at them for a while and got up feeling uncomfortable.. "I am really tired. I will retire back to my room now.. "
"Shit " Rahul cursed as Armaan walked away from them abruptly.. "What are we supposed to do now.. He went off before we could talk."
Atul sighed defeated.. "Let him go for now. We will try again in morning.."
"Dont leave me.. " He held her tight while brushing his lips on her hair.. "Dont give up on me. Please stay.. "
"You know i cant stay.. " She protested in his arms. But he held her firm not willing to let her go. She stared back at him with her eyes filled in Pain. "Why did you hurt me.. "
" I didint want to. You understand that right.. " He pleaded but with a silent brush she started to fade away again. He protested holding her hand tightly.. "Dont.. Please dont go. Dont do this to me.. "
" I cant... Stay " Her voice started to fade away. He tried to held her back but she was fading away. Softly and Slowly..
"Armaan "
"Dont go Shilpa"
"I have to "
"Please dont !! "
" I... "
" Pleaseee Shilpa !!! Please "
"Armaan Wake up !! "
" Dont do this Please. Listen to me Please.. "
"Bro plzz get up "
" Pleasee... Please "
"ARMAAN !! Get up !! Armaan set up on the bed breathing heavily as he glanced around confused.. Rahul and Atul set infront of them worried. He ran as hand on his face clearing off the sweat.. Again the same dream , the same torture and pain. He knew he had woken up whispering the same words. Please.. Armaan started to get cautious as Rahul and Atul stared at him worried.. "Guys.. Go back to your room and Sleep.. "
"No Armaan " Atul protested " From how long has this been happening..?"
"What Atul " He spoke distractedly leaning to the headboard.
"The dreams "Rahul spoke " Have it been like this since she left..?"
Armaan's silence confirmed the answer of their question. Atul place a hand on his shoulder " Why didint you tell us Armaan ? "
"Whats there to tell ? " He gave a bitter laugh.. "That my life is a hell since she is gone.. "
"I couldnt believe what i saw. Bro You were shaking on your bed. Almost crying and saying Please "
Armaan winced and glanced away as Atul spoke quietly.. "It was a good thing Shao Pao came and woke us up on Right time. "
Armaan narrowed his eyes looking around the room.. "The damn dog cant keep anything quiet.. Where the hell is he now.. "
Rahul grinned looking back.. " Asleep in the corner. I guess he woke us up to deal with you today so he cant get some sleep "
Armaan smiled shaking his head.. " The damn dog is there everynight whenever i wake up. I guess he knows.. How i feel.. "
" And even we understand how you feel Armaan " Atul spoke.. " You cant live ur life like this. Drowning urself in your work , Shouting in ur bad dream. For how long will you make yourself Suffer. Its been a year now Armaan "
"I guess this is what i deserve.. " He shrugged his shoulder uninterested in their talks.. Atul shook his head almost giving up when Rahul spoke suddenly.. "So you are saying you dont care if your wife and child suffers..?"
"What ? " It caught his attention, he glanced away troubled.. "All i am doing is for the best of my family.. "
"Oh really " Atul snorted.. "What if she is suffering more than you.. What if she is in any trouble. God forbid anything happens to her , but can you guarantee she is happy all alone taking responsibility of a child herself.."
Armaan set quiet stunned with their talks.. He shook his head.. " I never thought of it.. " He stared at the space worriedly as Rahul spoke.. "Whatever you say bro , The truth is they need you badly. Just like the way you need Shilpa and ur child back in ur life. Their life is going to stay colorless just like urs. Do you really want your child to not get love of his father. When he is alive , when he can be there for him.. "
Guilt cross on his face , that made them realize their words were effecting Armaan. For a long time they set talking to him quietly.. Finally Armaan let out a painful hiss as the realization struck to him.. " You are correct.. I had pushed away myself so hard , i never realized they must be suffering along with me.. "
" We are happy you are understanding Armaan " Atul encouraged.. "You have to find them , You have to get back them for the sake of their future which only you can make bright.. "
He set quiet for a while and gave a nod determinedly.. "Yes.. Thats exactly what i should do. "
Rahul hugged him tight while Atul laughed.. Armaan passed a smile hesitantly.. "I dont know how to thank you guys.. Maybe i would have been lost in this dark if you didint help me.. "
"What are friends for.. " Atul gave a pat on his arm.. "You can thank us by bringing back our sister-in-law and the baby " Rahul winked at him getting off the bed..
After bidding bye to them Armaan got on his bed recalling the conversation he just did. He thought over what he would do and what could do. I had been blind all these day Shilpa. But not for long. Now i will make sure i go and get you and my baby back with me.. And thats my promise.. With a determined plan on his head Armaan fell into a peaceful sleep which he had been missing from months..
Shilpa sighed as she stared down at the two twins sleeping on their bed. With little difficulty they had finally settled down in their own home. She glanced around with a satisfied smile.. Once again she looked down at the sleeping babies. Just as Reena said both of them were chubby and cute. A cuteness which caught eye of many people in the town. She caressed Arav's cheek smiling.. Arav was more quiet and peaceful boy with dark blue eyes. He hardly ever cried and was always patient. Eventhough the boy had a silent nature he was gifted with beautiful dimples on each cheek. Just like his father.. And Aryan was opposite.. He was always impatient and mischievous. Always got her into some trouble. He was the noise maker always shouting or crying..Eventhough he didint have dimples he had been blessed with deep green eyes just like her.. The two babies loved eachother. She had noticed both of them had a great bond. If one cries the other would start cry. If one laughs the other starts to laugh. They were now 6 months but looked much bigger. She couldnt believe the babies were growing so fast.. If only Armaan could see.. NO !! She brought a halt to her thoughts blocking them Away. Brushing away her tears she concluded bitterly... " There is nothing which is going to make me take back my children to the past. Armaan is a closed chapter for now! He cant come back in my life.. Never ! "

Just like the way you need Shilpa and ur child back in ur life. Their life is going to stay colorless just like urs. Do you really want your child to not get love of his father. When he is alive , when he can be there for him.. "
Guilt cross on his face , that made them realize their words were effecting Armaan. For a long time they set talking to him quietly.. Finally Armaan let out a painful hiss as the realization struck to him.. " You are correct.. I had pushed away myself so hard , i never realized they must be suffering along with me.. "
" We are happy you are understanding Armaan " Atul encouraged.. "You have to find them , You have to get back them for the sake of their future which only you can make bright.. "
He set quiet for a while and gave a nod determinedly.. "Yes.. Thats exactly what i should do. "
Rahul hugged him tight while Atul laughed.. Armaan passed a smile hesitantly.. "I dont know how to thank you guys.. Maybe i would have been lost in this dark if you didint help me.. "
"What are friends for.. " Atul gave a pat on his arm.. "You can thank us by bringing back our sister-in-law and the baby " Rahul winked at him getting off the bed..
After bidding bye to them Armaan got on his bed recalling the conversation he just did. He thought over what he would do and what could do. I had been blind all these day Shilpa. But not for long. Now i will make sure i go and get you and my baby back with me.. And thats my promise.. With a determined plan on his head Armaan fell into a peaceful sleep which he had been missing from months..
Shilpa sighed as she stared down at the two twins sleeping on their bed. With little difficulty they had finally settled down in their own home. She glanced around with a satisfied smile.. Once again she looked down at the sleeping babies. Just as Reena said both of them were chubby and cute. A cuteness which caught eye of many people in the town. She caressed Arav's cheek smiling.. Arav was more quiet and peaceful boy with dark blue eyes. He hardly ever cried and was always patient. Eventhough the boy had a silent nature he was gifted with beautiful dimples on each cheek. Just like his father.. And Aryan was opposite.. He was always impatient and mischievous. Always got her into some trouble. He was the noise maker always shouting or crying..Eventhough he didint have dimples he had been blessed with deep green eyes just like her.. The two babies loved eachother. She had noticed both of them had a great bond. If one cries the other would start cry. If one laughs the other starts to laugh. They were now 6 months but looked much bigger. She couldnt believe the babies were growing so fast.. If only Armaan could see.. NO !! She brought a halt to her thoughts blocking them Away. Brushing away her tears she concluded bitterly... " There is nothing which is going to make me take back my children to the past. Armaan is a closed chapter for now! He cant come back in my life.. Never ! "
