Chapter 4

Riddhima was flabbergasted as she was pushed by Armaan in the fire escape, Armaan was feeling guilty seeing the brutal way he has treated Riddhima last evening "I am sorry Basket for holding you badly" apologized Armaan. "You better be" snapped Riddhima. "Now why the hell have you pulled me here, my Mom and Dad both are doctors here, apni nahi to meri repo ka dhyan rakho" said Riddhima. "Basket is there any connection between me pulling you here in the fire escape and your reputation" asked Armaan.

"Of course yes, Mr. not so cool Armaan Mallik, agar koi tumhein mujhe yun kheench te hue dekh leta to" asked Riddhima

"Ek to tum darti bahut ho" teased Armaan.

"In your dreams Mr." said Riddhima "Well just stop this else we will end up bickering, and tell me what the matter is"

"ok Riddhima let's talk serious, tell me one thing, why are you ignoring me." Asked Armaan

Riddhima opened her mouth to say something but Armaan just shush her. " And Miss Gupta I want to know the pure truth, nothing else, and please don't say; nahi Armaan main tumhein ignore nahi kar rahi and blab la bla, just pure truth. Get that"

"Armaan the truth is I am not at all ignoring you, and why would I" said Riddhima

"You are lying, Dr.Gupta" said Armaan

"No... not at all Armaan" assured Riddhima

"Oh really now, then tell me why you lied that you have not arranged any date for me and Sapna, but in reality you do, tell me hmm why?" said Armaan.

"Armaan be pragmatic, how can I tell that in front of Sapna that a third person has prepared a date for her and her boyfriend, t would had look odd" explained Riddhima.

"Really now, ok first you are not the third person in my life Ridz you are an important friend and secondly I had ask the same question from you when Sapna was not there, you are again lying, I need my answers now and that to true" emphasized Armaan.

In the mean while Riddhima's pager beeped and she thanked God in her heart for saving her from the situation.

"I got to go Armaan its emergency, we can talk later" said Riddhima and she almost rushed from there for an escape

"Kab tak bachogi mujhse Dr. Basket Gupta, kabhi to tumhein jawaab dene honge" said Armaan.

Unfortunately for Armaan the day was hectic, he did not get another chance to talk to Riddhima till lunch break and in the break too Riddhima did not join the rest of the gang.

CAF

Atul asked Anjali "where is Ridzy love?"

"Actually she is has gone home for lunch, Naani has made her favorite Rajma and chawal and she insisted Ridzy to come home so that is why" told Anjali.

Armaan laughed at his bad luck sarcastically

"Oye pagal ho gaya hai kya, laughing all alone" asked Rahul

"Raoool, I am laughing at myself and my destiny" told Armaan

"Abe tu theek hai na, kaisi bheki bheki batein kar raha hai, pagal" joked Rahul

"Please Rahul, don't say all this to Ammy" said Sapna

"Oye hoye waar kahin hua, dard kahin hua" joked Muskaan.

Everyone laughed but Armaan just ignored which was noticed by Muskaan.

LOCKER ROOM

Armaan was sitting all dejected when Muskaan came "Oye hero, kya hua, caf main bhi tu chup tha, bada ukhda ukhda lag raha hai, see I am your best friend tell me na"

"Kuch nahi Moti, bus" said Armaan

"Kuch to hai mere sher, chal bata" said Muskaan

"Its Ridz Muski, I don't know why but she is kinda ignoring me, and I don't know why, I asked her twice but all the time she just managed to escape and all thanks to hospital pager" told Armaan

"Hmmm, actually to be honest hero, I did notice that too, and she is indeed ignoring you intentionally and somewhere down I think Atul and Anjali know why" told Muskaan

"What? Anjali and Atul know, mujhe pehle hi laga tha, and you too noticed na, her indifference towards me. That means I was right" told Armaan

"Ya, actually I heard Atul talking to Anjali he was asking her that maybe they are behaving more harsh towards Armaan I mean you by asking Ridz to stay away from you" told Muskaan

"Kya Atul aur Anjali ne Riddhima ko mujhse door rehne ko kaha, how could they" asked Armaan irritated.

"Hero maine aisa suna, I don't know the real reason Armaan but I feel it has something to do with Sapna and your relationship with her" told Muskaan

"Kaisa relationship yaar, kaunsa relationship, I would have break up with her long ago and would have told you all about this but Ridzy's divorce her pity condition stopped me, I thought she will grieve more if she will come to know about one more broken relationship. And in the mean while Sapna asked me to give one more chance to this relationship which I agreed reluctantly and I know why Spana is doing all this, coz she is just jealous and insecure of mine and Basket's relationship, she even don't feel good when I call Ridz Basket." Explained Armaan

"tumhaari life main itna sab kuch ho gaya aur tumne mujhe batana zaroori nahi samjha Armaan, I thought we are best friends" said Muskaan. " I always felt that you and Sapna are not going through smooth relationship but I never knew that you guys have decided to split up.

"Muski please can we concentrate at Riddhima" said Armaan all irritated

"Okay fine. See Ridz is hard target to achieve, she will never open up with her feelings once she is firm and has decided not to tell, so don't ask Ridz. Set an easy target, and Atul se easy kaun hoga. Wo to aisa Murga jo kabhi bhi fas jayega aur sab kuch ugal dega" said Muskaan

"Rehn de Moti Champ bhi ab bahut tez ho gaya hai" said Armaan

"Mere sher, use emotionally fool banana bahut aasan hai, dekh pighla to wo pehle se hi hai tabhi to wo Anjali ko keh raha tha ki Ridz ko tujhse door nahi karte, is liye Mission Riddhima se hat kar Mission Atul pe dhyaan de, aur wo pehle se tujhe ignore kar rahi hai, to tere sawalon se bachne ke liye wo tujhse baat karna bhi band kar degi, aur jahan tak mujhe lagta hai wo lunch par bhi isi liye nahi ayi Naani aur Naani khana to bus bahan hai" deciphered Muskaan.

"Correct, Moti, Mission Riddhima se hatkar Mission Atul is great yaar." Said all excited Armaan

"Dekha jail na dimag ki bati" said Muskaan

"You are a savior yaar" said Armaan and hugged her tight

"Oye khote, chod mujhe sans nahi a rahi" said Muskaan all choked

OPD

"Champ I need to talk with you about Basket" said Armaan

"Mujhse Ridz ke baare main, kya" said Atul slightly tensed.

"Are tu side main to chal, patient ke bed se thoda hat kar baat karte hain" said Armaan

"Accha bol" said Atul

"Mere bhai, mere dost, champ mere dildaar gul-e-gulzaar, tu humesha meri help karta hai, is baar nahi karega kya" Asked Armaan

"Hua kya" asked Atul

"Bhai Basket mujhe thoda ignore kar rahi hai, N I don't know why I have got a strong feeling that she is doing it intentionally" said Armaan

"Look Armaan whatever she is doing is correct and she is doing for your own good, I would advise you to stay away from her that will be good for you and for her. That is all I want to say" said Atul

And then their pagers beeped.

NURSE STATION

Riddhima was already there and rest of the doctors too joined her. Armaan came and stood beside Riddhima. Riddhima changed her position and stood beside Muskaan which was noticed by Sapna, Atul, Anjali and Muskaan. Seeing Riddhima behaving coldly with Armaan a smile played on Sapna's face and she smirked.

"Okay doctors I have called you here to inform you thatSanjeevani is organizing 4 days camp for Lonavla Sanjeevani orphanage and Dr. Riddhima has already volunteered for that but one more doctor is needed there so anyone interested" asked Dr.Keerti.

Armaan got excited and was about to say a yes when suddenly Anjali intervened and spoke "Dr. Keerti I will go, Ridzy will feel better with my company keeping in mind the situation through which she is going" said Anjali

"Alright then, Dr.Shubhankar will accompany you two, tomorrow morning 9 be ready, you will go in Sanjeevani's transportation here from hospital, so report here tomorrow first" said Keerti.

Armaan and Muskaan exchanged dejected looks. Everyone left Riddhima don't even looked for once towards Armaan and left.

"Hero bus aj ki shaam hai tere paas, kasie bhi kar ke, Atul se sach uglwa" Said Muskaan

"Moti wo kuch nahi batayega, but I got to something" said Armaan

Part- 8

Armaan was adamant that somehow he will manage to talk with Atul. He finally decided that he will talk once the duty gets over.

"I think Armaan you should be alone while talking to Atul, I must not accompany you, mine presence can act as hindrance" said Muskaan. So she with rest of doctors left the locker room;leaving Atul and Armaan.

Atul was also about to leave but Armaan stopped him

"Champ dekh ghuma ke baat nahi karte, let's be simple and clear, aur tu jaanta hai mera question kya hai, fir tu apna aur mera time kharaab mat kar and give me answer" said Armaan.

"Armaan I have given you the answer which was appropriate for you" said Atul.

"Damn with your appropriate situations and your answers, I want to know the pure truth. And for your kind info I know Anjali don't like Ridz talking to me and neither you but I want to know why? Now please tell me, after all we are also best friends Atul, remember? And more than BFF's we are brothers. So why are you behaving cold" said Armaan

"Bhai I am not behaving cold, even I want to tell you. But... okay fine I will tell you but promise me you won't tell Anjali that I told you everything. I can't see you in such pathetic situation Armaan" said Atul

"Toh bata na fir, kyun tarsa raha hai and promise I won't tell Anjali.. anything I swear" said Armaan.

"Armaan, Anjali heard your and Sapna's conversation and she is afraid that Riddhima will be blamed for your break up and she don't want Ridz to suffer anymore that is why she asked Ridz to stay away from you. And then Ridz too found out that sapna is not comfortable with her presence and her closeness with you; so she decided to maintain a distance" told Atul

"OMG so Anjali and Basket think that way. Shit!!! And probably that is the reason Ridz volunteered for orphanage camp" said Armaan

"Not probably Armaan, but surely, she is making a distance from you and for good reasons, Sapna is not comfy with her closeness to you" said Atul

"Dekh Bhai, main aur Sapna kab ka break up kar chuke hote, we didn't split because I don't want Ridz to suffer mine broken relationship. Mujhe laga wo sochegi ki ek toote rishte se wo nikli hai aur ab ek aur, bus is liye maine kissi ko kuch nahi bataya, aur fir Sapna apni insecurities ki wajah se ek aur baar is rishte ko chance de rahi thi, par main comfortable nai hun, na hi chahta hun kyun ki main aur Sanpna are poles apart but still for Sapna's sake I agreed but not at the cost of my best friend. Tomorrow morning I will talk to Ridz and will cancel her plan" said Armaan

"Nahi Armaan she can't cancel, its official tour, moreover I heard Dr.Keerti saying that one more doctor will be needed there, I thought I will go but seeing the whole situation I think you should go and there in lonavala you should talk to Ridz." Said Atul

Armaan hugged Atul " thank you Bhai, thank you so much champ, tujhe nahi pata tune kya kiya hai mere liye"

"Par ek problem hai" said Atul

"Ab kya?" asked Armaan

"You are not going tomorrow but day after tomorrow with some medicines and vaccination" answered Atul

"Par parso kyun kal kyun nahi" asked Armaan

"Kyunki Kuch medicines kal ayengi, jinhe tum parso le kar jaoge, Dr. Keerti se apni replacement pe tumhein bhejne ki baat main kar lunga, aur waise bhi ab hum kaunsa interns hai ki wo humari mentor hongi ab to hum bhi Sanjeevani main doctors hain colleagues hain aur ek colleague ki baat to dusra maan hi leta hai, kyun?" said Atul.

Armaan grinned and they both share their brotherly hug. Armaan was super happy.

GUPTA HOUSE

Riddhima and Anjali were packing their bags in their room and Padma was watching from outside all tensed. "Why are you so tensed Padma?" asked Shashank

"Riddhima will be all alone there and she has gone through such an emotional phase and leaving her all alone I don't think so it's a good idea" said Padma

"She won't be alone Padma Anjali is there with her" assured Shashank

"Haan beta give her some space and time to tackle with her pain and sorrow, allow her move forward in life" explained Naani

Shashank sighed "We took wrong decision for her and the wrong guy, Siddhant. I never thought he can be so... " and he left from there without completing his sentence.

"Maa should we think about Riddhima's re marriage. Anjali will get married to Atul; then? Then she will be all alone So don't you think" asked Padma

"Padma; not now, use abhi apni zindagi sambhalne do" deciphered Naani.

And they both left

Anjali and Riddhima were all ready with bags packed and soon they both went into deep slumber

NEXT MORNING

The Gupta sisters were having their breakfasts hurriedly.

"Araaam se, peeche pada hai koi" Pointed Naani

"Naani we will be late" said Anjali

After breakfast Shashank asked both girls to accompany him and Padma to the hospital in their car.

"Are ruko dahi to kha lo" said Naani

"Naani hum exam dene thode ja rahe hain jo aap dahi shaker kila rahi hain" Anjali joked

"Mujhe pata hai, par ghar se to itne din door rahogi" Said Naani

"Naani not itne' just four days" again Anjali joked.

And after having Dhai they left

SANJEEVANI LOCKER ROOM

Shashank helped girls with their luggage in the locker room and then wished them all luck and bid good bye.

"Hey good morning Basket, and morning Anjali" said Armaan

For a moment Riddhima forgot that she has to maintain a distance with him and she put her hand on his shoulder and said "Good morning Muskaan ke hero, looking very fresh and happy, hmmm, kya hua!! Ha... aha... had a romantic date with Sapna... Batao batao!!" Then she suddenly realized Anjali is glaring at her and suddenly her head knocked and she remembered that she is not allowed to be friendly with him and with a sudden jerk she displaced her hand from his shoulder. Armaan noticed Anjali's and Riddhima's reaction and he understood that Riddhima is doing all this unwillingly.

"No no Basket it is nothing to do with date and Sapna. But I am happy because.." he left his sentence incomplete and went to his locker to get his file

"Because what? Complete it Armaan" asked Riddhima

"Haan Bolo Because what Armaan" asked Anjali too

"Because ladies... Hmm mood nahi hai fir kabhi bataunga" joked Armaan

Riddhima who was listening attentively was left surprised

"Tum kabhi nahi sudhorege Armaan"said Riddhima

"Tum sudharti bhi to nahi ab" said Armaan

"Armaan's right Ridz, we miss yours and Armaan's bickering and fights and your whole full on dramatic lecture" said Muskaan

"Haw Muski I never give lectures" said Riddhima

"Really now Riddhima! Please" taunted Armaan

"Armaan tum na" said Riddhima

"Han Riddhima tum na what? " asked Armaan and laugh his evilish laughter

"Riddhima don't pay attention towards him, he is mad we know who you are and what he is" said Rahul

"Raool Dadu, tu kabhi meri side mat lena, kasam se Muski agar yeh tera boyfriend na hota to mujhse pit ta zarur" said Armaan

"To peet de hero" said Muskaan

"Muskaan shipkali a gayi na apni aukaat pe" said Rahul

"Oye tu meri aukaat batane wala kaun hota hai shushundar" said Muskaan sarcastically

"Ho gaye tum subh subh shuru, na Ram Ram, bus gali galoch shuru kabhi upar wale ko bhi yaad kar liya karo" said Atul who just entered locker room and found out Muskaan and Rahul fighting

"Upar wala kaun Atul" said Muskaan innocently

"Oye shipkali wo Bhagwaan ki baat kar raha hai, kabhi dimag istemaal kar liya kar" said Rahul

"Tere paas hai na tu kar" said Muskaan angrily.

"Muskaan Rahul enough don't start again, who will say you guys are love birds" said Riddhima.

"Riddhima it was his fault" said Muskaan

"oye main to tujh se baat bhi nahi kar raha tha main to baat Riidz se kar raha tha" Said Rahul

"Oye hero Samjha le ise, warna yeh bahut pite ga mujhse" said Muskan

"Oye tu mujhe maregi, a maar a na" said Rahul

And their small fight became big quarrel the rest of the gang was trying to settle the matter when suddenly

"Enough doctors!!!! You are no more interns now, you guys are fully fledged doctors now. Grow up." Said Keerti in anguish

"Dr. Riddhima and Dr. Anjali take your bags and join Dr. Shubhankar in the parking, he is waiting for you there and rest report to nurse station now within 10 minutes, am I clear" says Keerti

And leave

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief

"Hitler ki hitlergiri nahi jayegi" said Armaan

Riddhima and Anjali bid good bye and leave

"Jao Basket jao kal to main bhi a raha hun" Armaan says these words to himself once they leave but Muskaan hears it as she was standing all close to him

"Matlab Atul se baat ho gayi" asked an all excited Muskaan

"Moti tere kaan bade tez hain" said Armaan and he tells her everything

"Wow, matlab Atul bhi humare saath hai" asked Muskaan

"Ji bilkul" Said Atul

SANJEEVANI PARKING AREA

"SO doctors all set" asked Dr. Shubhankar

"Yes sir" answers both

"Should we leave now then" ask Shubhankar

"Sir in car, but Dr. Keerti said we will go in Ambuance" asked Riddhima

"Dr. Riddhima Ambulance will accompany us but we will go in my car" said Shubhakar

And she nodded in reply

Soon they left

SANJEEVANI NURSE STATION

Dr. Keerti gave briefing

"So Dr. Atul are you ready for leaving tomorrow" asked Keerti

"Dr. Keerti its not me its Armaan who is going actually ma'm I have some surgeries and some cases which I cannot hand over to other doctors so inspite of me Armaan is going" said Atul

Keerti nodded and said " its okay Dr. Atul, then Dr,. Armaan come with me I will describe you and detail you with medicines and vaccinations. Come with me"

Sapna was fuming in anger hearing Armaan going " I won't allow this to happen, Armaan you cannot be alone there with Riddhima for four days, I got to do something"

Part- 9

Sapna was not happy and comfortable with the fact that Armaan is going to Lonavala all alone. Initially she tried to convince Dr. Keerti but she rejected her plea saying that Sanjeevani is over burdened with work, so she tried her luck with Armaan "Please baby don't go na, I need you here" Sapna was trying to match Armaan's walking pace as he was in hurry to report in OT. "Look Sapna I am going and that is final, if you have some problems with your cases and patients you can consult with Dr. Keerti" said Armaan completely engrossed in the case file and reports. "And please no more of your silly arguments; if you please excuse me I have surgery in 2 minutes I need to get ready"

VARDHAN HOSPITAL

Siddhant Modi was in talk with another doctor about a patient who was attended co jointly by him and Riddhima. The patient was not showing any improvement.

"I guess Dr.Modi you should go to Sanjeevani and talk to Dr. Riddhima in personal, patient is quite critical and for a doctor a patient is prime importance. Please Dr. Modi forget about your personal differences and discuss this case with her." Sid nodded in a yes "I will definitely go to Sanjeevani tomorrow and will meet Riddhima"

Next day Armaan was all set to go. He reported Sanjeevani, had a talk with Dr. Keerti and was all set to leave.

"All the best hero, try to make Ridz and Anjie understand and I want my Tom and Jerry back ok" said Muskaan

"Ya Armaan Muskaan is right you see, we miss your bickering and cute arguments, I know Anjali will be quite mad at me but try to sort out everything" said Atul

"Don't worry champ I will make sure everything ends up well" Armaan assured Atul. He bid good bye to Muskaan and Atul with a hug and off he drove

In about an hour he reached Lonavala orphanage. Anjali was bewildered when he saw Armaan coming with medicines and all. On the other hand a smile played on Riddhima's face when he saw the person coming. All the children were super happy seeing their favorite doctor Armaan. They encircled him, some kids kissed him, some embraced him some were pulling his ears out of love.

"Dr. Armaan you bring life with you, these kids really adore you" complimented Dr. Shubhankar " If I am not mistaken Dr.Atul was the one to come, how come you?"

"Yes Dr. Shubhankar, Atul was the one to come, but at the last moment he got an emergency surgery, so he cancelled and I came" he told while settling with his luggage and medicines. Anjali rolled her eyes in anger and completely ignored him, Riddhima however waved and smiled to greet him. Armaan was about to speak with Riddhima when Anjali intentionally called her.

Armaan huffed in dismay at his bad luck "God Anjali"

Dr. Shubhankar asked Armaan to freshen up. Armaan nodded and Shubhankar directed him to his room.

SANJEEVANI

Sid was not greeted in Sanjeevani. Muskaan, Atul, Rahul completely ignored him. Even Dr. Keerti was not in a mood to greet him. Only Sapna said a hi to him.

"Actually Dr. Keerti I am here to meet Dr. Riddhima, if I just get the permission"

Before Dr. Keerti can say anything Muskaan blatted "now what? Why you need to talk with her"

"Calm down Muskaan" Atul pleaded Muskaan while patting her back. "Let him complete"

"Actually Dr. Keerti its urgent" pleaded Sid

This time before Keerti can say Rahul just blasted "What is so important Mr. Siddhant Modi, why don't you leave her alone?"

Keerti was smiling at their bond of friendship

"Dr. Modi Dr. Gupta is not here" finally Keerti managed to say "She is at Lonavala orphanage, if you have any message for her, you can tell me or can contact her at her cell phone"

"No need of calling her" this time it was Atul "you can inform us, and we will let her know"

"Atul actually...

"It's Dr. Joshi for you Dr. Modi" Atul speak in a harsh tone.

"okay Dr. Joshi actually Dr. Riddhima and I was handling a case together and I need to discuss about that"

"Its Fine Dr. Modi, you can call her, and Dr. Atul its not good to be that harsh" said Dr. Keerti

Everyone left giving disgusted looks to him and leaving him all alone

Sapna who was still standing there and was watching all this happening smirked and said "Sid actually Anajli, Riddhima and Armaan trio are there only" She stressed Armaan much while speaking in an unusual way. And it created effect which she wanted.

"Armaan is also there" Sid asked irritably

"Yes" answered Sapna

Sid left without uttering any further word

Sapna smirked because she was successful in doing what she wants to

Sid drove the car in furry towards Lonavala

LONAVLA

In the evening after the usual medical checkup of the children Armaan once more tried to talk to Riddhima at the tea. Dr. Shubhankar was busy with Bhua; orphanage incharge and care taker. Armaan took his tea cup sat beside Riddhima, who happens to be lost in her thoughts.

"Basket so how's it going"?

Riddhima who was all engrossed in her thoughts suddenly realized that Armaan is asking something from her "Sorry I didn't catch what?"

Before Armaan can repeat his question Anjali intervened "Leave her alone Armaan, she don't need you"

"Shut up Anjali, enough of your dominance over Riddhima and her life, let her decide what she wants to do and what not, if she will ask me to leave I will, if she will ask me to break our friendship bond I will, but I know she won't. She is ignoring me just because you asked her to do so. And Anjali what do you think; only you are the one who cares for her?" Anjali open her mouth to utter but Armaan shushed her "Wait Anjali I am not done yet, I know why all this nautanki'is happening, it's all because of my and Sapna's break up right? Let me tell you clearly, if ever I will have break up with her Riddhima will never be blamed. So you actually think people will speak anything stupid about Basket and I will tolerate it, Anjali she is my best friend, nobody will dare to speak anything about her in front of me" "Ya right Mr. Mallik nobody will speak anything about her in front of you but you cannot stop people bashing you at your back. What if she will be held responsible for your breakup?"

"Anjali you cannot stop people from barking, some will say good about you and some bad, will you stop living? No na, please I imply you."

Riddhima was standing at one side just hearing Anjali and Armaan putting forward their logics, and tears were streaming down her eyes which was noticed by the duo

"Baby why are you crying, my little sis" Anjali asked wiping her tears.

Armaan too was looking at her too scared and worried

"Nothing Di, I am so lucky to have a friend like him and a sister like you, you guys have put at stake the relationship which you both share just for me. I am overwhelmed by your gestures. How much you guys care for me. Di Armaan's right. Why should I ignore him, my best friend for the sake of people?"

"I guess you and Armaan are right, I was over reacting, indeed, so I will leave you guys alone to talk. After all its four days since you guys talked. Enjoy" and she left

Armaan hugged Riddhima tight "Basket you won't believe, how much I missed you"

"Me too" said Riddhima trying to came out of his strangulating hug "You will kill me of asphyxia Armaan, I can't breathe, lose your grip a bit please"

"Oh I am so sorry, I was emotionally taken" Armaan while giggling

"Ya right and I was gasping for oxygen" Riddhima panted

"Armaan can I say something" asked Ridz. Armaan encircled her right arm on Ridz shoulder "Yup shoot buddy"

"Armaan its very hard to find a person who loves you dearly and truly, and Sapna loves you, whatever she is doing is just because she loves you"

Armaan nodded.

"you guys are very mean, you just forget me after you patch up" Anjali complained with a pout

"Aww, never ever baby" said Armaan

"Don't baby me Armaan." Anjali said all infuriated

Riddhima giggled and they share a group hug.

"Anjali don't you think so Riddhima has gain weight, she is looking fatty" Armaan teased

"Haw, how dare you Armaan, I am all slim, the fact is you are not that strong now" Riddhima replied back smartly "all your muscles and abs have shrink:"

"oh really Basket, I can still lift you" said Armaan

"in your dreams boy" Riddhima blabbered

The next moment Armaan lifted Riddhima from her legs and now she was in Armaan's arms

Anajali was laughing badly.

"Oh, so this is how you are giving your services and attending your duty Miss Riddhima Gupta"

The trio turned back to look at the source of voice. It was Siddhant and he was fuming in anger seeing Armaan and Riddhima in such pose.

Riddhima's eyes popped out watching the person in front of him. Armaan landed Riddhima on ground so that she can stand and was furious at Sid's snide comment; Anjali too was giving disgusted looks.

"Why am I not surprised with this, Riddhima. So basically this was the reason you divorced me. You actually was not able to all this with Armaan while you were my lawful wedded wife. But now you are free, you can hang out around and can do whatever you want" Sid spoke in all disgusted language

"Sid mind your language" Armaan said in anguish controlling as much as he can

"Leave Sid, why the hell have you come here? You have already destroyed much, and burnt the relationship. Now why are you here to collect the ashes of the burnt" said Anjali

"Oh my my look Riddhima you have got two lawyers at your side. So how's it going Mrs X Riddhima Siddhant Modi. Enjoying your relationship with your new boyfriend. Oops not new. Having fun/? Aha. Enjoying your freedom

"Sid you are crossing your limits" Armaan warned him

"Oh My God, look who is talking about limits and all han, the girl with whom I am talking happens to be my wife Mr. Mallik

Armaan stopped him in between "Not your wife Sid your ex she has taken divorce"

"oops ya sorry my ex wife and your present girl friend"

These words were enough for Armaan, he lost his control and pulled Sid from his collar. Riddhima was shocked, she was crying and she ran from there. Neither Anjali nor Armaan paid attention towards Ridz and did not notice that she has left.
