Three days later...
12:00 clock @ Night
"Hello...!!" Armaan picks the call while sitting on car's front hood
"By God !! Thake hue lag rahe ho...??" Aditi's caring voice made him to look at the number
"Nai kuch nai... Tum bolo... Kyun phone kiya tha...??" he replied slowly looking up at the sky
"Main... Vo bas aise hi..." she spoke normally while sitting on bed
"Oo... So tell me... Dev ko aur kitna nachaaya apne peeche" He asked calmly wid a smile
"Main nai nacha rahi... Vo khud naach raha hai..." she replied unintrestingly making him chuckled
"Kya kar sakte hai... Dilse maafi maang raha hai banda... Ab maaf b kardo" he took his brother's side
"Vo mujhpe hai... Ki main usse maaf karun yaa na karun... Vo deserve karta hai ye sab..." she spoke in complaining voice making him smile
"Haa baba ye tumhara right hai... Jo karna hai karo" he spoke calmly keeping his back against the car's front glass and gazing at the sky
"Acha vo sab chodo ye batao... Aaaj kya hai tumhe pata hai?" she asked slowly making him frown
"Kya??" he asked frowningly
"Aree buddhu... Acha huaa tumhe wish nai kiya varna bigad padte" She spoke nonchalantly making him smile "Aaj... Tumhari" she was about to inform him when
"Anniversary hai jaanta hun..." he speaks up calmly making her stunned
"By God!! Tumhe yaad hai...?" she asked shockingly only to hear a chuckle from him "Zaroor kisi ne tumhe bataya hoga... Varna tumhe kaise yaad hoga... Kyun ki apni First Anniversary to tum bhul gaye thae... Vo to maine phone karke bataya tab tumhe pata chala tha... Fir ab kaise?" she asked confusedly
"Hold on girl..." he chuckled "Haa mujhe yaad hai... Ki aaj hamari Fourth Anniversary hai... Na hi mujhe kisi ne yaad dilaaya yaa bataya" his reply was calm one which made her smile
"Par kaise??" she asked doubtfully
"Kya Aditi common sense... Jab mujhe meri Shaadi yaad hai to Anniversary kaise bhul sakta hun..." he replied smilingly while sitting back again "Teen saal teen mahine bhula hun... Pure chaar saal nai" he joked making her giggle
"Ye b hai... To fir.. Meri taraf se... Big wala Happy Anniversary... I pray tum dono yun hi saath raho hamesha" she whished happily making him smile
"I hope so..." he whishpered slowly
"Acha sunn meri taraf se b good wishes" snatching the phone from Aditi's hand Dev wished him too smilingly while sitting beside her
"Do phone..." Aditi tried to snatch the phone which resulted their small arguement
"Rehndo yaar tum dono... Main phone rakh raha hun..." Armaan spoke annoyingly
"Acha sorry..." Aditi spoke cutely making Dev to stare her smilingly
"Haa main b... Jo isne kaha" Dev spoke coolly making Aditi to glare him while Armaan smiled
"Hmm... Fine... But guys stop this fight n all haa... Itni mushkil se saath aaye ho... To usse lad k waste mat karo" his voice turned upset one which Dev guessed
"Fight thodi ye to hamara pyaar hai... Bas kal iska last diya huaa test paas ho jaaun... Fir tu dekh we will back to our life" Dev spoke cheerfully making Armaan smile while Aditi rolled her eyes
"Yaa rite..." he shook his head
"Acha vo sab chod... Kuch plan kiya kal k liye...??" Dev asked teasingly "Aur Shilpa ko wish kiya ki nai" he asked carefully making Aditi to put her ear on his shoulder so that she can hear his answer and seeing this Dev put the phone on speaker
"Dev... Ye tu b ache se jaanta hai aur main b... Ki in sab cheezo mein mujhe intesrest nai..." he replied annoyingly "Aur raha sawal Shilpa ko wish karne ka... Toh... Its weird..." his voice turned slow making both smile
"Oye isme weird kyun... Bas jaake wish hi to karna hai..." Aditi spoke normally
"Aditi tum nai samjhogi" Armaan & Dev both said in unionism which made her amused
"Jo b ho... Pehle apni Biwi ko bolna ki mera phone kyun nai uthaayaa usne jab main usse call kar rahi thi kuch daer pehle..." she complained to which he chuckled "Aur... Kal na usse ek ache se romantic date pe le jaana... After all chaar saal pure kar liye hai tum dono ne" she suggested making him quiet "Jo ki mujhe laga tha... Ki tum dono Shaadi k ek saal k andar hi Divorce le loge... Kyun ki itne alag the na ek dusre se pucho mat..." she giggled making him smile
"Sure...!" he said smilingly
"Acha sunn... Tu jaa aur abhi usse wish kar..." Dev ordered
"Haa bol dunga main..." he replied calmly "Ab tum dono jao sone... Main b jaata hun..." he spoke normally
"Acha thik hai chal... Gud night" Dev smiled
"Aur once again... Happy Anniversary.." Aditi wished happily in a loud voice making him chuckled "Aur apni uss Drama Queen ko b bol dena... Happy Anniversary..." she teased
"Thanks... Chalo fir Gud night" wishing them immediately he hung up the call
"Hmmm..." taking a sigh he laid back on car looking up at the stars while his head rested on his hands "Chaar saal ho gaye hamare saath ko... Aur strange baat ye hai ki usme se teen saal teen mahine... Mujhe yaad nai... Na jaane kaise gayen honge vo saal... Kaise manaya hoga... Kya hum ek dusre ko gifts dete honge?? Kya hum ye day celebrate karte honge?? Yaa fir normal hota hoga sab kuch??" he was in deep thoughts when "Damm... Kitna difficult hai ye... Yaa to mujhe sab yaad hona chahiye tha... Yaa fir sab kuch completely bhul jaana chahiyee tha khud ko b... At least sukoon hota... Mujhe" he closed his eyes inoffensively
"Mere saare sawalo k jawab sirf tum de sakti ho Shilpa... Par tumne isse b mere liye mushkil bana diya... Chah k b tumhari words tumhari baate... Kuch b nai nai bhula paa raha... Abhi tak calculate nai kar paaya.. Ki kya feel karta hun main tumhare liye... Mujhe tumhari jaroorat hai yaar... Aur tum ho ki mujhse bhaag rahi ho... Tum uss pyaar ko regret kar rahi ho jo... Pehle se hi hai... Par mujhe samajh nai aa raha mujhe bura kis baat ka lag raha hai... Iss baat ka ki main tumhe vo feeling response nai kar sakta... Yaa fir is baat ka ki tum nujhse pyaar karke regret kar rahi ho..." his heart only knows how he is feeling right now. He sat again while takingout something from his pocket
"Tum itni gussa ho ki tumne... Hamari Engagement ring b nikal di... par mujhe kya ho raha hai... Kyun itni takleef ho rahi hai... Ye ring tumhaare haath mein naa dekh k..." he spoke frustadely fisting the ring in his hand 'ITNA SAB JAANE K BAAD B NAFRAT NAI KAR PAA RAHI... I HATE MYSELF... FOR LOVING U... JITNI TAKLEEF MUJHE UN GUNDO NE YAA FIR KISI AUR NE NAI DI... USSE KAI ZYADA TAKLEEF MUJHE AAPSE PYAAR KARNE PE MILI HAI... NAFRAT HAI MUJHE APNE AAPSE KI MAIN AAP JAISE INSAAN SE PYAAR KARTI HUN...' he still can't forget her words which are piercing his heart specially her distance which is making him more upset from inside
Its been three days after that day where she confessed her feelings about him which was a complete shock for him from which he still not recovered after that night when he woke in next morning he found himself alone on bed as usual which was good thing for him coz if he would have seen her he felt more guilty so ignoring everything he went in shower where her words didnt left him 'Har baar jhut... MAIN HI PAGAL THI JO AAPSE PYAAR KAR BAITHI..' shutting his ears he closed his eyes painfully somehow ended his shower trying to ignore her words when he found a ring lying on the basin which he knew was Shilpa's engagement ring which he made her to wore on their Engagement Day He was hurt to find that "Iska matlab tum... Isko b nai chahti apni life mein" he thought hurtfully while picking the ring
Getting ready he reached downstairs only to find Rakesh on breakfast table who informed that today He, Riddhi, their kids, Dada, Dadi, Geeta & Pratik will leave for Chandigrah so Armaan have to drop them to the Airport to which he chuckled replying in Sure when everyone came on table and they started their breakfast wd fun except Shilpa, Surbhi, Neha, Nikki & Anant who had been out for a walk to the Park and after breakfast they all got involved on their respective works Armaan was sitting on lawn thinking about last night's event when Rudra, Divya & Avni came for some talk in which Avni requested him for Photoshoot (Deffinatly Surbhi has discussed about ArSh's Anniversary and their gift) which made him confused
"Aree jab.. Shaadi tum dono ki hai... To Photoshoot mera aur Shilpa ka kyun??" he asked annoyingly while stooding up
"Aree Bhaiyaa... Main chahti hun mere wedding ki pics bahoot acchi aaye... Jo Rudra karne wala hai" Avni said dreamly "Par mujhe iska demo dekhna hai... Ki ye ek beautiful couple ki pics kaisi leta hai..." she tried to make him understand
"Aree par Photoshoot k liye... Rudra ki kya jarurat... Hum bahar se kisi ko Hire kar lenge" Armaan argued
"Naiii... Bhaiyaa plzz.. Main chahta hun ki Avni ki shaadi ki pics main click karun plzz... Yehi mera uske liye gift hai" Rudra requested in his dramatic way making Divya giggle
"Haa Bhai main khud chahti hun ye mere pics click kare" Avni too said in dramatic way
"Oye itna over acting karne ki jarurat nai hai..." Armaan spoke strictly "Aur agar ek Couple k upar demo karna hi hai... To Riddhi aur Rakesh hai.. Infact Rehaan aur Surbhi hai jo ki best choice hai Photoshoot k liye" he suggested calmly
"Par Bhai.. Rakesh Bhai aur Riddhi Bhabhi to abhi do ghante baad nikal jaaynge Chandigarh k liye... Aur Rehaan Bhai to Hospital mein busy hai.. Specially aap nai ho vaha pe to unka workload badh gaya hoga... To vo kaise aayenge... So bache aap dono" Divya spoke smartly making him thought for sometime
"Haa aur aap dono sachmein best lagte ho ek saath... Bilkul ek dream couple ki tarah" Avni spoke dreamingly
"Haa Bhai.. Aakhir mujhe b to koi intresting chahiyee Photoshoot k liye" Rudra said coolly to which he looked at them who has made puppy face mouthing plzz
"Fine..." he agreed to which they three jumped happily "But... But... Shilpa nai maanegi" he stop them calmly
"Aap unki fikar mat karo.. Vo maan jaayngi.. Bas aap jaldi se sabko drop karke aao... Fir hoga Photoshoot" Avni spoke happily making him chuckled seeing their happy faces but somewhere he feard Shilpa will reject for Photoshoot and here Surbhi, Neha & Nikki were requesting Shilpa from the last 20 minutes for Photoshoot
"Nai matlab nai..." Shilpa rejected again while walking ahead
"Allah miya what's wrong wd you Shilpa... Avni ki shaadi hai aur Rudra chahta hai pics click karna vo b acche se... Tum itni selfish kaisi ho sakti ho" Surbhi spoke in fake anger
"Haa Bhabhi... Avni k liye kardo" Nikki requested
"Bhabhi... Sirf do chaar hi to pics honge.. Bas... Aur aap bhai k saath hi khichaogi... Thodi kisi aur k saath... Plz maan jaaiye" Neha too requested making her to think about this
"Sahi keh rahi hai ye... Tujhe vaise b ye proove karna hoga Armaan ko.. Ki tu unse pyaar nai karti ab... Aur haq se khadi ho sakti hai unke saamne... Ki tujhe farq nai padta vo saamne hai yaa nai... Varna mann hi mann khush hoga ki tu usse pyaar karti hai" her mind made her understand while they three were watching her face for answer "Fine... Main karungi... Sirf Avni aur Rudra k liye" and as she said this wd pouted lips they three hugged her tightly happily which made her smile too and they returned home where Rakesh n all were about to leave so Shilpa went to help Dadi in packing while Armaan got busy wd little Anant they were playing something in Hall when he heard
"Shilpa beta saari packings ho gayi..." it was from Geeta who came downstairs wd her Husband behind and as he heard her name he became stiff turning his head towards Geeta following her eyes on his GrandParent's Room
"Haa... Hogaya" Shilpa came out from his GrandParent's Room who followed her while Armaan's gaze got fixed on her face after last night he saw her now but he felt like seeing her after ages he didn't knew why his heart skipped its beats looking her
"Acha beta apna khayaal rakhna... Aur sabka b..." Dadi spoke lovingly caressing her hairs who smiled
"Chal Armaan beta chod de humko Airport tak..." Pratik's voice made him to tear away his gaze from Shilpa
"Yaa sure... Aap chaliye... Main aata hun" he replied politely to which Pratik nodded in YES smilingly and went outside followed by Geeta
"Aur Radha... Bahu ka aur sabka khayaal rakhna..." Dadi ordered to Radha who giggled
"Aree Maa... Next week hum sab vohi aa rahe hai... Aap na" Radha spoke smilingly
"Jo b ho.. Kisi ko b koi kami mehsus mat hone dena... Aur Karva chauth k din dhyaan se... Shilpa ka khayal rakhna" Dadi warned
"Haa baba thik hai..." Radha smiled
"Aree Maasi main to kehta hun.. Aapko b jaana chahiyee" Rudra suggested to which Divya smack on his back lightly
"Nai beta kisi to bade ko rukna hi tha... To Radha rahegi tum sabke saath" Dadaji said instead of Radha who looked at Rudra suspiciously
"Vo sab chodo... Chalo varna flight k liye late ho jaaynge.." Armaan spoke hurriedly
"Haa..." Rakesh agreed while Dada, Dadi and Riddu, Siddhi went outside
"Main abhi b puch rahi hun... Anant chaloge Mumma Papa k paas" Riddhi asked cutely kneeling infront of Anant who was standing beside Armaan
"Nai... Main Maassi k.. Saath aaunga..." he said cutely while holding Armaan's troser which made everyone laugh
"Chal Armaan hum bahar wait kar rahe hai tera" Rakesh spoke smilingly
"Haa tu chal main aata hun" he replied normally
"Bye everyone see u all... In Chandigarh" Riddhi waved everyone while moving out wd Radha who thought to drop them till outside
"So guys ye ek week enjoy karo... Bye" Rakesh winked making Armaan smile while they five jumped happily
"Haa Bhaiyaa ab dekho is ek hafta... Hum kitni masti karte hai" Rudra spoke happily to which he shook his head and went from there
"Chalo Champ... Inko Airport tak drop karke aayen..." picking Anant up he spoke smilingly while Anant giggled
"Bhai aate time hamare liye ice cream laana" Nikki spoke happily to which he went from there ignoring them
"Guys sab to gaye... Par agar Maa rahegi to Photo shoot kaise hoga" Avni spoke thoughtfully making everyone think too while Shilpa sat on sofa calmly picking up a magazine as if its not her business
"Mere paas ek plan hai" Surbhi spoke happily making them looked at her "Hum Rehaan ko bolenge ki vo.. Radha buaa ko shopping pe le jaaye ye kehke ki usse Phuppi ka gift lena hai... Aur usse samajh nai raha vo kya de... Vo tab tak unhe busy rakhe jab tak hum Photoshoot kar rahe hai" she put her idea forward which made them happy
"Wow!! Genius" they commented making her give them a prouding smile while Shilpa shook her head looking at them smilingly and one hour later Armaan came back wd Anant after dropping them he went wd Anant to meet Arjun just for timepass and now he returned back home wd ice-cream but as he stepped inside he found lights and curtains in hall wd camera focuses as if decorated for some wedding he frowned seeing it and handling ice-cream to a servant he went inside Anant's Room and carefully tucked Anant on bed who slept during ride back to home and closing Anant's room door he came out only to find Rudra wd a teasing grin on his face Avni & Divya wd a smile which made him to looked at them suspiciously
"What??" he raised his bows confusedly
"Photoshoot...!!" they spoke happily dragging him in the hall
"Kya yaar??" he made a face
"Chalo... B..." Divya made him stand infront of camera
"Tum logo ko aur koi kaam nai hai..." he said strictly
"Bhai... Aapne promise kiya tha..." Avni pointed her index finger
"Thik hai.. Par jaldi kyun ki main abhi bahoot tiered hun iswaqt" he spoke tiredly while rubbing his forehead
"Bhai ruko main aapke liye coffee laati hun.." Divya spoke happily making him smile
"Aree waah... Itni dekh bhaal... Kya baat hai" he grinned while putting his hands inside his pocket
"Aap ho hi itne pyaare" Avni spoke teasingly
"Avni... Stop calling pyaare n all" he spoke angrily while pulling her hairs lightly
"Aawww... Bhai" she whinned while seeing this Rudra laugh
"Offo!! Ab bas... Chalo Photoshoot ki taiyaari karen" Divya detangled them "Bhai... Dekhne do mujhe.. Ki aap abhi handsome lag rahe ho ki nai" making him face her she looked at him
"Oye!! Bhai hamesha handsome lagte hai..." Rudra commented while checking the camera
"Nai.. Main khud karunga" Armaan stepped back as Divya moved her hands to touch his hairs "Bas..." he asked calmly making three giggle
"Acha ye to thik..." Divya looked at his collar when
"Main karunga..." saying this he himself corrected his collar making her smile when
"Hum aa gayyee..." Surbhi's cheerful voice made them to look at her
"Haa to sab kuch ready hai??" Neha asked smilingly looking at the Hall
"Haa.. Bas Bhabhi k aane ki daeri hai" Rudra winked
"Vo to rahi Bhabhi" Nikki pointed on side room from where Shilpa was approaching towards them while correcting her Duppata her lashes were down but Armaan's eyes stopped on her His heartbeat skipped starring her who wore a pink color dress wd orange mixed she came infront of him wdout looking ahead
"Ouch...!!" she spoke as she bumped wd him who moved to hold her when she stepped back making him feel neglect
"To ready..." Rudra's voice made them looked away from each other
"Aaa... Haa" Armaan nodded slowly
"Ok fir main batati hun poses..." Avni clapped happily and moved towards Arsh
"Avni faaltu ka time na waste ho... Varna maar khaogi tum mere haath se" Armaan warned in strict tone making Avni smile
"Offo Bhai... Abhi shuru b nai kiya... Aur aapne shuru kar diya warning dena" Avni whinned making him to roll his eyes
"Acha... Thik hai shuru kare ab..." Divya giggled walking towards them "Bhabhi aap aise khade raho..." she made Shilpa to face him
"Aur Bhai aap aise..." Avni made him to stood infront of her and guess what time stopped for ArSh as they faced each other Shilpa lowered her lashes feeling his gaze whose eyes were only fixed on her
"Kyun dhadkane tez ho rahi hai... Tumhe apne saamne dekh kar..." Armaan's heart spoke as it fastened feeling her this close while Shilpa's eyes became moist seeing herself infront of him
"Mat dekhna unki taraf Shilpa... Varna tu fir kamzor pad jaaygi" Shilpa's heart requested feeling weak they both were lost wd their thoughts when Rudra clicked their pic
"Tum logo ko batana b nai pada... Inki chemistry khud hi dikh rahi hai" Rudra whispered looking at Neha & Nikki who smiled
"Kuch to ajeeb hai inke bich... I mean itni khamoshi si kyun lag rahi hai unke bich" Surbhi thought looking at ArSh who were lost in each other Surbhi observed as Armaan stepped closer to her she stepped back slowly making him to looked away from her feeling guilty "Kuch to gadbad hai" she thought looking at ArSh when her cell phone rang "Guys ek minute haa..." excusing herself she went in corner side "Haa Rehaan bolo... Kya kar rahe ho tum??" she asked smilingly
"Spa k bahar baith k Radha Buaa ka wait kar raha hun" he replied tierdly to which she giggled
"Awww.. My baby... Thak gaye" she asked lovingly
"Naahhh... Hum nai thake... Tum batao Photoshoot kaisa jaa raha hai" He asked smilingly to which she thought to ask about ArSh
"Acha Rehaan Mr Khan aur Shilpa k bich sab thik to haina??" she asked slowly making Rehaan frown "I mean ek ajeeb si khamoshi dekhi maine unke bich abhi" She said thoughtfully which made Rehaan to guess that everything is still not good b/w ArSh coz of Kiya
"Aree nai Surbhi... Sab thik hai... But tum to jaanti ho na Bhaijaan ko... Ki vo apni feelings express nai kar paa rahe hai... Aur Bhabhi k hopes tut rahe hai... To isiliye ye khamoshi hai unke bich" Rehaan indirectly explained
"Ooo... Ye Mr Khan na... Bilkul badal gaye unke accident k baad" she shook her head "I think tumhari tarah unko b romance sikhana padega..." she joked making him chuckled
"Unhe... Sikhane ki to jarurat nai hai... Bas ehsaas dila do... Fir dekhna unka magic" he said smilingly making her giggle
"Haa vo to hai... How can I forgot... I am sorry Bracelet wala scene..." she said wd a giggle making him chuckled and they started talking where as here scene was different
"Bhabhi Bhai k thoda aur karib jaao na..." Avni insisted making Shilpa to stepped back "Offo! Karib jaane ko kaha tha... Dur nai" She giggled while pushing her more closely to Armaan who stepped more closely decreasing their distance which made her to look up at him and now their eyes met!!
"Exactly... Ab aap apna haath yahan rakho aur Bhabhi aap... Yahan" Divya spoke smilingly keeping his hands on her waist also keeping Shilpa's hands on his shoulder "Perfect...!!" she smiled
"Wow...! Kya pose hai... But na thoda feel laane ki jarurat hai" Neha suggested looking at ArSh who were lost in each other that they forgot they are here for Photoshoot also didn't realized when Nikki made their faces too close
"Amazing girls..." Rudra thumbs up while clicking their pics "Avni beta dekh le... Aise hi tera Photoshoot hoga" he teased making girls giggle while Avni blushed where as ArSh were only starring at each other
"Kyun nai chahte hue b main... Aapmein kho jaati hun... Shayad vo stupid thing call love abhi b nai gaya" her heart cursed herself where she is still lost in him
"Kyun mujhe acha lag raha hai... Tumhe apne karib pakar" His heart was beating its fullest speed then too his eyes were stuck deeply in hers where as feeling his intense eyes she lowered hers lashes slowly while holding his blazer from front suddenly Out of blue when he kept his forehead on hers he didn't knew making her heartbeat skipped and their eyes automatically closed feeling each other forgetting that everyone's eyes were on them Armaan's firm grip became tight on her waist where as Shilpa's grip tightened on his blazer from front "Plzz Shilpa mujhse dur mat raho yaar... Main nai reh paata" he wanted to say this but it didn't came from his mouth who slowly opened his eyes moving his head a little back which made her too open her eyes slowly only to get lost in his blue one's eyes where as he observed her face as if trying to read it her captivating green almoned eyes is doing magic to his eyes but then she lowered her lashes making him dissappoint then he concentrated on her cute nose which he wanted to kiss lightly at last his eyes landed on her plumpy lips which pulled his heart's strings seeing her lips an urge came to him to capured in his... When "OMG!! Armaan what are u thinking" his mind kicked himself mentally while he stepped back wd a jerk making Shilpa startled while others frown who were enjoying this romantic scene while clicking their pics
"Kya huaa Bhai...??" Avni asked confusedly
"Woh... Aaa... Bahoot ho gaya pics n all... Chalo kuch kaam karo" he didn't knew what he said but hearing this Shilpa's heart sank thinking he didn't liked their closeness unknown to her, his condition was not at all good by his sudden wild thoughts
"Abhi kahan... Bhai abhi to ye wali pose baaki hai" Divya spoke cutely while making Shilpa to show her back infront of him and placing his hand on her waist Showing as if he is hugging from behind which made him stopped "Aur Bhabhi... Aap apna sar Bhai k shoulder pe rakh do..." she requested to which Shilpa put her back of head on his shoulder reluctantly making him to tightened his hold on her waist slowly while she closed her eyes feeling rejected again
"Wow...!" Neha spoke dreamingly as she saw the pic got clicked "Ab mera wala pose..." she spoke happily moving towards ArSh who were now standing little away from each other Armaan wd his confused feeling & Shilpa wd a hurt state "Ye wala pose mujhe bahoot pasand hai..." she put Shilpa's duppata on her head and made her to face him who looked at her blankly "Ab kheecho" she giggled and moved from there leaving them alone when Shilpa's duppata slipped from her head
"Are ye to gir gaya" Neha spoke sadly to which Shilpa picked the duppata to put again on her head when Armaan held her hands who became shocked but ignoring her he carefully put the duppata back on her head staring deeply at her who looked down
"Ye b mast hai..." Nikki giggled
"Bhabhi... Duppate ko bich mein lona... Ek dum chaand chupa badal style mein" Divya spoke dreamingly
"Par..." Shilpa tried to reject but they all requested 'plzzz' making her to looked down while Armaan was trying to recollect his feelings when Shilpa put the duppatta b/w them making him to stare her from it and she looked down feeling his gaze who felt to threw the duppatta on some corner side only to see her face
"Ye tujhe kya ho raha hai Armaan" his heart questioned making him to stepped back coz he can't trust himself he can actually throw her Duppatta if he didn't back off "Bas yaar... Ho gaya" he almost requested making everyone confused while Shilpa tried to show she didn't cared that he is liking it or not
"Abhi kahan Bhai... Abhi to kapde change karke fir Photoshoot hoga..." Rudra spoke wd a grin
"What??" he is shocked but no one cared about him Divya & Avni both dragged him to change while Shilpa pretended normal and changed her clothes which was green in color when Surbhi came participating in it she made the atmosphere more romantic while playing a romantic number in her phone which Armaan strictly turned off spoiling everyone's mood then Nikki made ArSh in a romantic pose where Armaan (who was hell irritated by them stood calmly only to stay close to Shilpa) has to hold Shilpa by her waist wd his one hand and by other hand has to hold her hand whose one hand was on his shoulder as if she was falling and he held her safely at that time Surbhi requested both to smile at least which they did.. Two more poses by Nikki's choice then Divya again requested them to change which he clearly rejected which made them to show their puppy faces and this made Shilpa's heart melt so she agreed which left no choice for him to say anything coz if she was agreed then he can't refuse... Then Shilpa changed in pink dress while he dressed in formals looking perfect Avni made the poses of them for close up pics which indeed came beautifull and at last they again scardly requested for clothes change to which Armaan went to change wdout any word leaving them in a shock His reason was simple coz he was loving to stay close to her whose fragrance was making him to pull her closer to him... So after changing they came face to face where Shilpa wore a red dress and at that time Surbhi & Rudra both requested for Titanic pose which is their favourite
"No ways main aisa kuch nai karunga..." Armaan immediately refused
"Haa main b..." Shilpa also said but slowly
"Bhaiyaa... Aapne sabki choice ki pics kheechai... Mere aur Surbhi Di ki nai" Rudra requested
"Haa Mr Khan... Plzz mere liye" Surbhi showed her puppy face making Shilpa smiled
"Ok thik hai... Par ye last hoga haa" Shilpa agreed wd a smile making both happy while hearing this Armaan looked at her smilingly noticing how kindhearted she is
"Fine... But Titanic pose thoda wierd nai hai" Armaan agreed but made a face where as Surbhi giggled looking at him, how he agreed reason was clear infront of them that after knowing Shilpa has agreed he also said yes only for her
"Ek baar try to kar k dekho" Divya smiled while making them stood in Titanic pose which made Armaan laugh "Kya huaa Bhai?" she frowned looking at him who controlled his laugh making others confused while Shilpa stared him dazely coz after months he had laughed like this!
"Kuch nai.. Bas thoda ajeeb tha" he replied smilingly "Acha tum log ise thoda twist nai kar sakte ... I mean its weird yaar" he said normally while standing behind Shilpa who looked down as he put his one hand on hers
"To aap hi bata do..." Surbhi crossed her arms
"Just wait and watch..." he spoke calmly making them giggle and he gripped Shilpa's left hand whose heartbeat stopped for seconds he made their hands in air while his other hand gripped her waist who gulped nervously "Apna haath mere haath pe rakho..." he whispered softly from behind her while keeping his chin near her ear who is taking deep breaths but slowly kept her hand on his which was on her waist as if she was under some spell and then entwining their fingers which was in air he looked at their hands which fasten his heartbeat speed he felt a tickling sensation in his body but he is loving this feeling whereas, feeling his hand on her waist a current felt in her body making her to go back to the reminiscing Past when they first time became One!! And unknowingly they closed their eyes while their left entwinted hands decended down Armaan's heart wished to kiss on her shoulder but now he just wanted to feel her Rudra was taking their pics where as girls were admiring this scene
"Wow...!!" everyone's dreaming voice made them opened theirs eyes instantly and immediately they stood away from each other where Shilpa's eyes were down feeling embarressed and Armaan looked here & there
"Aree alag kyun ho gaye...?" Surbhi asked confusedly
"Mmain thak gayi... Bas" saying this slowly Shilpa turned to go when
"Acha thik hai but group Photo to khichvati jaao" Surbhi pouted making her stopped
"Haa Bhabhi..." Nikki ran towards her and made her to stand beside him while everyone standed beside ArSh who were in middle
"Teen geenti pe ye click hoga" Keeping the camera on table Rudra ran towards them and stood beside Divya after counting three the pic got clicked as it ended Shilpa excused to change locking herself in Washroom and started crying on her fate 'Paas rehke... Dur rehna bahoot mushkil hai' she thought while crying where as Armaan changed outside struggling wd these strange feelings 'Kya ho raha tha mujhe... Shilpa ko dekh k itne wild thoughts kaise aa gaye mere dimaag mein' he thought while changing and after changing they all sat in hall for fun time where Armaan was busy on his Phone sitting on sofa beside Rudra who was watching a fashion show while girls were talking Arrangements was removed by servants when Avni informed something funny to Shilpa
"Bhabhi.. Aapko pata hai aap dono ki shaadi se pehle... Jab Mami ne Armaan Bhai ko Pre-Wedding Photo shoot k liye bola tha Bhai ne kya kaha tha... Pata hai" Avni asked wd a giggle making Shilpa to nod in NO
"Unhone kaha... Faltu mein mera dimaag mat kharab karo Mom... Mujhe aur b kaam rehte hai... Aur aapke is Photoshoot se mera aur Shilpa dono ka tym waste hoga" Divya spoke like their real Armaan use to do in the Past which made Shilpa and everyone giggle whereas, hearing this Armaan held his head thinking 'Ye mera Divorce karaygi' but looking at Shilpa smiling he felt relieved and their day ended wd fun Rehaan came wd Radha and collected the pics quietly from Rudra, Bidding bye to everyone he went from there and two days were gone smoothly but wd fun in which ArSh didn't interacted much, also in b/w Dev called Armaan informing Aditi has forgiven him and he was put on some task to winback her trust which made Armaan chuckled b. Today in the Morning, Armaan got a call from Sanjeevani for an Emergency case so after taking permission from Ananya he went Hospital only to get busy in that case and two hours ago he was signing some papers when he asked about tomorrow's date to a nurse who informed quietly but as she informed the date it clicked on his brain that they got married that very day which made him restless again thinking what to do or what not and as he freed himself from work he came out for some fresh air on a beach where he got a call from Aditi!
@ Malik Mansion same time
"Aankhen mat kholna Shilpa..." Surbhi warned still hidding her eyes wd her palms while walking ahead towards ArSh's bed side
"Offoo!! Jaldi karo Surbhi meri aanken dukh rahi hai" Shilpa replied normally walking wd her while Avni, Nikki & Neha giggled
"Ok... Ready..." Surbhi giggled to which she nodded in YES and she removed her hands happily "Aankhen kholo..." as she said this Shilpa opened her eyes blinking twice and rubbed it by her palms looking infront of the wall where something big was hidden inside a red silky cloth which was behind their bed "Rudra aur Divya kapda hatao" she clapped making Shilpa to walk ahead and looked at Divya & Rudra who were standing opposite sides of that thing behind their bed
"Surprise...!!" they all spoke happily while Divya & Rudra removed the cloth from the wall revealing the gift which made her Surprise! She kept her palms on her mouth "Happy Anniversary..." they wished her together whose eyes became moist seeing the gift
"Thanks..." she said softly wd moist eyes looking back at them
"Ur welcome..." they spoke in unionism making her giggle
"Toh Photoshoot is liye tha..." she asked smilingly to which they giggled nodding in YES
"Ye idea Rehaan ka tha..." Surbhi spoke smilingly
"Ooo... I see" Shilpa said in teasing tone making her blushed
"Par pura humne kiya..." Surbhi spoke proudly making her smile "Ek baar Photos ko dhyaan se dekh to lo" she suggested making her smile and she walked infront of the wall where a huge big frame was hanging gifted by them It was a Collage on which their pics were added every pics of their Photoshoot attached also their married pic was in b/w but which pic took her interest is their engagement pic she traced that pic by her hand a smile reached on her lips when her eyes landed on her empty ring finger making her guilty which reminded her their every moment but immediately her smile faded learning that there was no pics of them related before his accident and she stepped back slowly hurtfully
"Kaash Bhai b yahan hote... To vo b dekhte pics" Divya spoke wd pouted lips taking her attention
"Haa... Vo to hai..." Avni nodded when the bell rang
"Bhai aagaye..." they spoke excitingly
"Ok... Frame ko firse dhako... Hum Mr Khan ko vaise hi surprise denge" Surbhi spoke happily making the gang excited
"Main Anant ko dekh kar aati hun" Shilpa excused before anyone could stop her
"Chalo... Guys jaldi" Neha spoke hurriedly as Rudra & Divya hided the frame wd cloth when Armaan entered in Room only to frown finding them like this!
"Tum log aise...?" he frowned looking at them standing like statue but when they didnt said anything he shook his head and moving inside his wardrobe he took out a bag from it he kept that bag inside Shilpa's wardrobe also wd another bag which he brought now "I hope tum isse accept karo" he thought looking at the bags when he heard their whispering which made him frown so he moved out to see them "Tum log abhi b aise khade ho?" he frowned again seeing them still standing like statue
"Vo Mr Khan kuch nai... Kuch b to nai" Surbhi spoke hurriedly coming infront of him
"Acha... To vo dono vahan kya... Pehredaari kar rahe hai" he spoke sarcastically pointing at Rudra & Divya who were standing behind the bed which made Neha & Nikki both giggle when Avni hinted Rudra to drop the cloth
"Happy Anniversary...!" they shouted loudly as the cloth fell down making him smile
"Toh... Ye pics pre-wedding Photoshoot trail ki hai" hiding his feeling he pretended normal
"Haa... Bolona kaisa laga??" Divya asked excitedly while everyone circled him
"Thik hi hai..." he spoke normally as if didn't liked it making them angry
"Kya Bhai... Aapko to kadar hi nai hai... Aapse achi to Bhabhi hai at least khush to hui vo usse dekh kar" Avni made a face
"Toh vo Shilpa hai... Aur main Armaan hun..." he spoke unintrestingly which made them soo angry that they turned to go when "I think isse acha gift koi de hi nai sakta tha... Genuinely thank u guys" his soft voice made them happy that they circled him
"Aapko sachmein acha laga??" Avni asked happily to which he nodded calmly making her to hugged him who smiled
"Thank u guys..." He smiled and they all sat for talk spending their half hour wd fun at the end they excused getting sleepy "Acha Shilpa kahan hai??" he asked normally as Surbhi stepped outside their room while others went out
"Mr Khan vo Anant ko dekhne gayi thi... Shayad vohi so gayi... Aap kahe to main bhejun usse" Surbhi spoke lazily
"Nai tum jao... Gud night" he said calmly to which she nodded in YES and went from there making Armaan to shut their Room's door
"To tum jaan bujhkar gayi na..." he mumbled softly while standing infront of the frame a smile reached his lips seeing their pics "Tumhare saath bitaye har vo pal... Mere liye khaas hai Shilpa" he traced her smiling face which was her single pic and still smiling he stepped back "Fir b tum nai samajh paa rahi mujhe..." laying straight he looked at the ceiling and when his eyes closed down he didn't remembered
Next Morning
"Bhai aap thik to ho...?" Nikki asked worriedly as Armaan sat weakly keeping his back against the bed post
"Yaa I am fine..." he replied weakly looking at Nikki's worried look While Rudra Divya were watching quietly just like Avni, Neha & Surbhi who stood on his left side to the bed "Kya huaa...? Aise chup chap se kyun baithe ho??" he asked confusedly seeing their worried faces
"Bhai... I am sorry main to bas kuch naya try kar rahi thi..." Nikki apologized wd sad face making him chuckled
"Mr Khan aapko hassi aa rahi hai... Yahan hum sab kitne pareshaan thae aapke liye... Aur aapko hassi aa rahi hai" Surbhi scolded him
"Main kya karun... Agar isne mujhe peanuts se bana dish khila diya..." he replied calmly "Kya yaar Nikki maine to sirf kaha tha.. Tumne to sach mein Zeher de diya mujhe" he pulled her leg whose eyes became moist which made him realized about her condition "Rona mat... Main bas mazak kar raha tha..." he said calmly
"Sorry Bhai... Mujhe nai pata tha ki aapko allergy hai usse" Nikki spoke sadly while sitting beside him who smiled lightly
"Tumhe thodi pata tha.. Ki mujhe allergy hai" he spoke calmly "But don't worry guys ab main thik hun... Bas thoda weakness hai aur kuch nai" he tried to cheer them who smiled
"Par Mr Khan sachmein... Hum sab bahoot dar gaye thae... Aapko aise dekh kar... Specially Shilpa jo sabse zyada pareshaan thi but dusri jagah strong b..." Surbhi spoke unbelievably making him smiled but as he heard Shilpa's name his eyes started searching for her who was nowhere to be seen
"Haa aur Bhabhi tab tak aapke saath thi... Jab tak aapko hosh nai aaya..." Rudra spoke smilingly making him desperate to see her
"Infact... Bhabhi ne hi to Bhai ko thik kiya... Jab ki vo kitni dari hui thi... Fir b unhone... Kitne pyaar aur samajhdaari se is situation ko sambhala..." Avni informed
"How romantic naa... Anniversary k din unhone proove kiya ki vo sacchi life partner hai" Divya spoke dreamily making Armaan to look down
"Haa dekho na... Aaj k din hi aisa hona tha... Ab Bhai Bhabhi ko bahar kaise le jaaynge... Date k liye" Neha spoke slowly
"Don't worry... Hum ghar par hi sab kuch karlenge" Nikki spoke happily which made everyone smile
"Koi kuch nai karega... Jo karna hai vo main karunga...vo b aaram..." he stops them calmly who got angry
"Jo karna hai aapko kar lena... Par hume hamara treat chahiyee..." Divya interrupted while correcting her specks
"Haa zaroor... Par abhi mera dimaag mat khao... Vaise hi ajeeb lag raha hai sab kuch" He said annoyingly to which they giggled "Vaise... Shilpa kahan hai...??" he asked normally hiding his desperation to see her
"Vo neeche hai... Aapke liye vo kuch healthy khaane ko bana rahi hai" Surbhi informed smilingly sitting beside him who looked at other side thinking how to make Shilpa close to him "Vaise Mr Khan aapne Shilpa k liye Anniversary gift kya liya...??" she asked excitedly making him to look at her
"Abhi tak to kuch nai..." he replied calmly
"Kya Bhai... Aaj k din to thoda romantic bante" Avni taunted making gang giggled
"Mujhe to doubt hai inhone usse wish b kiya hoga ki nai" Surbhi said suspiciously but his concentration was not on any one
"Shilpa yaar kyun aisa kar rahi ho... Saamne aati b nai.. Aur agar mujhe kuch ho jaaye to behave aise karti ho...??Kyun...?? Kaise wish karun tumhe vo b samajh mein nai aa raha... Kya dunn vo b nai samajh raha... Ek dress tumhare b'day pe kharida tha... Aaj tak de nai paaya... Plzz yaar easy karonna sab kuch... Main bahoot akela feel kar raha hun iswaqt" he thought starring at the space "I know maine kaha tha ki apna chehra b mat dikhana... But tumhara chehra dekhe bina chain b to nai aata" his heart is craving for her who was nowhere in his sight The thing is in morning Armaan was reading a case in his file when Surbhi, Avni, Divya & Rudra came for requestion about their Anniversary treat to which he agreed making them happy when Nikki came wd a dish which she herself made for everyone it was a new dish which she invented she didn't knew that Armaan is allergic to peanuts which she added in the dish
"Bhai.. Ye dekho maine kuch naya banaya hai... Plzz kha kar dekho kaisa bana hai" Nikki spoke happily making him smiled
"Khaunga... But isme koi zeher to nai daala na tumne... Yaa fir red chilli powder.. Jaise agli baar noodles mein kiya tha" He pulled her legs while others started laughing
"Bhai..." she spoke angrily still holding the plate
"Oye tu rehnde... Kuch b daal sakti hai" Rudra teased to which her face became sad
"Acha do taste karta hun..." he cheered her who smiled widely and taking the spoon he inserted that morsel inside his mouth
"Kaisa hai...??" Nikki asked excitedly to which nodded mumbling 'Good' when he started coughing slowly which took their attention "Kya huaa Bhai...??" she asked confusedly
"Kkkuch... Nai..." but he couldn't control his coughing
"Mr Khan aap thik to hai...??" Surbhi asked worriedly gripping his arm
"Oye tune sachmein to isme kuch nai daal diya tha..." Rudra asked strictly to Nikki who nodded in NO wd moist eyes
"Rudra.. Usse kyun dara rahe ho" Neha scolded "Divya Bhaiyaa k liye paani laao..." she spoke worriedly holding Armaan's arm from other side
"Bhabhi b Maa k saath walk pe gayi hai... Aur vohi se Anant ko uske Kinder Garden chod k aayngi... Ab kya karen.." Avni said worriedly while trying Shilpa's number which is busy now
"Don't... Worry... I am... Fffine" he spoke while holding his head painfully when Rudra and Surbhi made him sat on a chair "Kya isme... Tumne peanuts daale thae...??" he asked in weak voice to which Nikki nodded in YES tearfully
"Aree haa yaad aaya Bhai ko to peanuts se allergy hai" Rudra spoke shockingly making everyone stunned when Armaan fainted keeping his head on the arm chair
"Oh shit...! Ab kya karen...?" Surbhi asked worriedly to which they looked at each other while Nikki started crying making Neha to console her
"Main Doctor ko call lagati hun" Avni immediately dialed a Doctor's number when the door bell's ring made them alert about Shilpa's arrival
"Bhabhi aa gayi... Main unhe bulaati hun" saying this Divya immediately ran downstairs "Bhabhi... Bhabhi... Vo Bhai..." she spoke pantingly as she saw Shilpa who looked at her confusedly while Radha went to change in her Room thinking it must be their some fun games n all
"Kya huaa Digangana... Pareshaan lag rahi ho.. Firse tang kiya kya tumhare Bhaiyo ne??" she asked sweetly handling her a glass of water which she refused by her hands "Kya huaa batao to??" this time she asked worriedly and kept the glass on table
"Bhabhi vo Bhai behosh ho gaye hai... Shayad peanuts ki wajah se... Unko allergy haina usse" as Divya informed this Shilpa's heartbeat stopped
"Armaan..." she whispered wd moist eyes while stepping back "Digangana... Tttum... Jaldi se Kaka se bolo ki... Aloe vera ka gel banaye aur... Aur juice laayen..." composing herself she said in strong voice to which Divya nodded in YES she went inside Kitchen while Shilpa ran upstairs wd thudding heart and before entering in Room she wiped her tears so that she can hide her fear "Armaan...!" she whispered wd moist eyes as she entered in Room grabbing everyone's attention
"Bhabhi vo... Galti se huaa.. mujhe Nai pata tha ki Bhai ko allergy hai... peanuts se..." Nikki spoke scardly coming infront of her who can understood her fear
"Calm down Nikki... Vo thik ho jaayenge... Aur tumne thodi jaan bujhkar kiya..." She caressed her hairs slowly to which Nikki hugged her tightly "Ssshhh... Calm down..." she rubbed her back and parting from the hug she looked at Armaan who was unconsciously laying on the arm sofa
"Bhabhi... Maine Doctor ko phone kar diya hai" Avni spoke slowly
"Nai uski jarurat nai hai... Abhi thik ho jaaynge... Bas Kaka vo gel lekar aaye" she said calmly while walking infront of Armaan where as others stared her quietly "Armaan..." bending to his level she whispered softly while caressing his on cheek she only knows how she is controlling herself not to hug him not to cry infront of them "Plzz... Bhagwaan mere Armaan ko kuch na ho" she thought removing his hairs from his forehead lovingly
"Main samajh sakti hun Shilpa... Is waqt tumhara haal kya hai... Aur specially apna dar show nai karna" Surbhi thought staring at Shilpa who stood
"Rudra... Chalo Armaan ko bed pe shift karden..." Shilpa spoke slowly to which Rudra nodded in YES and they all shifted him on bed
"Beta... Ye lo..." Kaka's voice made everyone looked at him while Divya came wd the juice glass
"Rakh dijiye..." Shilpa said politely to which Kaka kept the Aloe Vera gel on the side table followed by Divya who kept the juice there too!
"Omg!! Bhai k gale pe redness kaisi?" Neha asked shockingly looking at Armaan's neck which became red
"Kahin koi..." Surbhi spoke worriedly but Shilpa stops her
"Nai aisi koi baat nai... Maa ne bataya tha ki bachpan se hi Armaan ko allergy hai peanuts se... Agar vo zara sa b khate hai... To unko khaasi aati hai fir vo behosh ho jaate hai... Aur unke gale se lekar chest tak redness ho jaati hai... Jo sirf Aloe vera k jel se jaaygi aur pomegranate ka juice... Aur do din tak unke body mein tiredness hai" she explained calmly staring at Armaan
"Bhabhi Bhai thik to ho jaaynge naa?" Nikki asked slowly
"Haa bilkul... Abhi dekhna ye jel main lagaungi.. To tumhare Bhai thik ho jaaynge" She said in cheering tone to which Nikki smiled a little
"Haa don't worry abhi thik ho jaaynge Shilpa haina... Tab tak hume bahar jaana chahiyee... Chalo" Surbhi spoke cheerfully making everyone to smile and they went from there except Surbhi "Tum dusro ko bewkoof bana sakti ho... Mujhe nai Shilpa" Surbhi's caring voice made her to look away from him "Tumhara dar main samajh sakti hun... Unke saath saath khud ko b sambhalna haa... Main aati hun" saying this softly she went out leaving a teary Shilpa there wd Armaan
"Main maanu na maanu... Aap aaj b mere liye important hai" cupping his face lovingly she kissed his eyes and started opening his shirt's buttons slowly She only knows what she is feeling right now Her heart stopped when she heard he has fainted but composing herself she has to medicate him! It wasn't the first time she had seen him like this she remembered when the very first time she got to know about his allergy it was about after six months of their marriage when she was making food for him and was about to use the peanut oil inside the dish but Ananya stopped her informing about him being allergic to peanuts since childhood which effects his health at that time she didn'thad any feelings for him but somewhere she cared for him and after that day she never used that thing but as the time passed she forgot about his allergy but four months ago when they were in Bhopal It was during her papers time, when she tried a new dish for him taking break from her studies also forgetting about his allergy... He was working on something in Laptop when she offered that dish to him who wdout thinking ate two spoons still his concentration was on his work but she was hoping for appreciation for dish but as always he didn't said a word so wd half heart she turned to go when his cough made her turned back at him again only to found him coughing uncontrollably she immediately started rubbing his back thinking its normal but when she saw sweats beads appearing on his forehead it clicked inside her brain about his allergy she got panicked as he fainted on sofa!
"Armaan... Armaan uthiyee naa... Plzz" she spoke worriedly cupping his face "Kkkyaa karun... Ab main..." her tears were continously rolling down from her eyes then she thought to call a Doctor but immediately something clicked to and she called Ananya dailing her number still crying and as the call was recieved by Ananya she narrated everything which made Ananya shocked she scolded her for forgetting that but when she realized Shilpa was still crying so she consoled her informing about the remedy!
"See Shilpa Aloe Vera ka jel uske... Gale aur chest dono ko laga dena usse usko... Thanda lagta hai aur vo dus pandrah minute mein hosh aa jaayga... Aur jaise hi hosh aa jaaye use pomogranate ka juice de dena... Acha lagega usse... Aur uski body do din tak tierd rehti hai.. Isiliye usse healthy chize khilaana... Aur haa Aloe Vera jel ko tab tak lagana jab tak redness uski body se jaati nai... Ek do din jaata hai usse jaane mein" Ananya explained slowly slowly so that she can understand better
"Mummyji.. Armaan thik to ho jaaynge??" she sniffed staring at him
"Haa vo thik ho jaayga... Fikar mat karo... Kya karun bachpan mein kitne Doctors ko dikhaya but iski allergy khatam nai hui aaj tak... Aur yehi tarika hai usse thik karne ka" Ananya spoke lovingly to which she composed herself and after disconnecting the call she brought the Aloe Vera jel and opening his shirt she applied the jel on his neck & chest still controlling her tears After ten minutes he woke tierdly and as he opened his eyes slowly he was hugged by her who started crying seeing him fine where as feeling himself in her arms he got confused!
"Finally aapko hosh aa gaya... I am sorry... Soo soorrryy..." she was still hugging him while crying which made him aware about that allergy thing so slowly slowly he hugged her back closing his eyes
"Ssshhh... I am fine... Its ok" he whispered in weak tone rubbing her back who hugged him more tightly "Aaaww..." he whinced as she hugged him tightly
"Sorryyy..." she immediately parted from the hug and wiped her tears which made him smile
"Its ok..." he replied weakly to which she immediately stood from the sofa and went to bring the pomogranate juice for him who closed his eyes tierdly keeping his head back on sofa and after that day she never made something like this for him specially peanuts which she gave Meethi to use for her family also she took care of him untill he was fine infact she even helped him in changing clothes that day, she would never want to see this again!
"I hope aapko jaldi hosh aa jaaye..." she whispered softly while applying the gel on his neck but her hand stopped in the middle when her eyes landed on his chest where her hands hesitated touching it coz its been nine months they didn't have any physical contact also she was scared to touch Kiya's Boyfriend not her Husband " Dekh Shilpa is waqt inhe teri jarurat hai... To zyada mat soch chup chap kar" her heart scolded her to which nodding in YES she applied the gel on his chest carefully but as her hand felt his heartbeat something happened to her that she kept her head there while closing her eyes "I am missing u Armaan... Aapne sach kaha tha.. Ki ek din main jarur crave karungi aapke liye... See vo din aaj hai" she cried hugging him tightly who was unaware about her condition when she realized about him so composing herself she applied gel on his chest and rubbing it slowly she buttoned his shirt
"Happy Forth Anniversary Armaan... Pata nai agli baar saath honge ki nai" kissing his cheek lovingly she ruffled his hairs and waited for him to get conscious , After ten minutes, before he could open his eyes she was out from the Room and sends everyone upstairs for his care also instructed Neha to give him the juice but when Surbhi asked why she is standing here? She answered she is preparing something for him so now except her everyone is in the Room!
20 minutes later...
"I am fine.. Bua" Armaan spoke unintrestingly as Radha started scolding Nikki and also scolding everyone for not informing her about this scene
"Fir b dhyaan to tum logo ko dena chahiyee tha" Radha spoke angrily looking at everyone who were getting bored now where as he was controlling hard not to shout on her "Bhabhi to mujhe hi bol..." as she said which raised his temper
"Enough!! Main bilkul thik hun... Ab plzz mera sar aur mat dukhaiyee" he spoke sternly which made her quiet while Divya hided her giggle
"Main to sirf tumhare health ki parwa kar rahi thi" Radha spoke affectionately which made him realize about his behavior
"Yaa... Sorry... Bas sar dukh raha tha to kuch b bol diya" he apologized slowly to which she smiled nodding in YES
"Acha to hum aaj ka plan banaye..." Rudra spoke excietedly to which they all got excietedly
"Abhi nai Rudra... Bhai ko thik hone do" Neha spoke in scolding voice to which Armaan smiled seeing her caring nature but hearing this Rudra, Nikki, Avni & Divya's face fell
"Tum log plan karo... Main Jarur kuch karunga... don't worry about me" he cheered them who got happy "Jao discuss karo... Fir mujhe bata dena" he spoke smilingly
"Luv u Bhai...!" they spoke excitedly making him chuckled
"Chalo discuss karte hai..." Divya spoke happily and they went from there excitingly leaving a smiling Surbhi & Armaan while Radha shook her head when Shilpa came wd the food tray grabbing Armaan's attention
"Abhi tum thik hue nai ho.. Ye tum b jaante ho lekin fir b nai..." Radha was scolding him but care he is paying attention to her coz his eyes were on his Wife who kept the tray on side table trying to ignore him whose eyes were only fixed on her Today, she is looking gorgeous wearing a white & navy blue saari, the 'Pallu' of saari is white while the lower part of saari is navy blue, her hairs were tucked in a bun, in her hands navy blue bangles were making noise he can't remove his eyes from her and seeing this Surbhi giggled watching ArSh's cute moment where he is only staring at her as if requesting her to look at him once while Shilpa trying hard to ignore him while Radha is still lecturing him
"Allah Miya... What's wrong wd them... Kuch to hua hai inke bich... Jo aaj Shilpa Mr Khan ko ignore kar rahi hai... I think Rehaan sahi kehta hai ab waqt aa gaya hai Mr Khan ko realize hone ka ki vo beintehaan mohobbat karte hai Shilpa se" Surbhi thought looking at ArSh when Armaan's cell rang making him to look at his phone
"Haa Rahul... Kya?? Abhi??... Thik hai aata hun.. Tu tension mat le... Main nikal raha hun bas" they can hear only one side conversation when he hungs up the phone and tried to stood up
"Aree.. Uth kyun rahe ho tum.. Tumhe aaram ki jarurat hai" Radha asked frowning whereas, Shilpa tried to control herself from helping him to stand
"Haa Mr Khan..." Surbhi also said but ignoring them he stood weakly
"Hospital mein Board Meeting hai... Aur mera jaana jaruri hai... Aur mere kuch Patients ko b check karna hai" he replied calmly while walking towards Wardrobe still balancing himself which made Shilpa to moved ahead to help him but her mind stopped her
"Hey Bhagwaan ye ladka na..." Radha shook her head "Acha thik hai par... At least aaram se baitho... Change karne mein help lelo kisi ki" she spoke strictly to which he was about to retort her when she said something which made him quiet "Shilpa jaao uski help kardo... Aur tum hi karna sab kuch... Usse mat karne dena" as she ordered Shilpa who composed herself not to run coz she was waiting for someone to say this where as hearing this Armaan's heart started dancing so he didn't said anything
"Fine par jaldi..." pretending as if he didn't cared he stood calmly while Shilpa came infront of him
"Aur pura breakfast kar lena..." saying this Radha went from there followed by a smiling Surbhi where as Shilpa moved her hand to open his shirt's buttons hesistately
"Kya karun... Wish karun isse... Nai vapas bhaag gayi to... Dekh nai paaunga isse" his heart was battling wd himself while his eyes were fixed on her whose lashes were down as always "Aaj tak mauka nai mil paaya ki puchun... Tum hamesha neeche kun dekhti ho..." he thought wd a smile as she carefully removed his shirt from his body
"Dekh rahi hai Shilpa... Kitna red ho gaya hai inki body... Aur tu inhe aise halat mein Hospital jaane degi" her heart spoke worriedly as she removed his shirt completely and turning towards his Wardrobe she slided the glass door "Aap.. Aap kya pehnenge...?" she asked slowly wdout looking back at him who walked behind her wd a smile that she actually said something to him
"Ammm... Kuch b.. Jo Meeting k liye perfect ho" he replied calmly standing behind her who gulped at their closeness but ignoring it she took out a white shirt wd black blazer & black pant
"Ye thik rahega...??" she showed him who nodded in YES "Nai to kuch aur..." but before she could complete her sentence he stopped her
"Ye perfect hai..." he said calmly to which she nodded and keeping the blazer on a chair she looked at him slowly which made him frown
"Pant..." she forwarded him the pant which he took smilingly seeing her nervous face
"Main ye change karke aata hun..." saying this he went inside Washroom to change which was a big task for him "Aawww..." he whined in pain as he bend to pick the belt where as Shilpa's condition also was not so good hearing his pained voice she was walking to & fro desperately when the Washroom's door clicked made her stopped and she pretended she didn't cared "Shirt..." he pointed as he came out and wdout saying anything she made him to wear that white shirt slowly
"Gosh!! Armaan kahin aur dekh... Tere iraade mujhe thik nai lag rahe" his heart ordered him as she put her Pallu properly on her shoulder coz it was falling but as she put her saari on shoulder her bare waist came visible to his eyes so he looked away from her trying to avoid that and She was buttoning his shirt nervously her eyes were down but her fragrance is making him to loose his control so he puts his both hands behind his back coz they were itching to touch her bare waist After buttoning his shirt she looked at his collection of ties
"Amm... Kaunsi...?" she asked confusedly pointing at his tie
"Koi b..." he replied normally while tucking his shirt inside his pant so she picked a red tie and came infront of him "Yaar isne apne baalo ko bandha kyun hai... Ye khule ache lagte hai" he thought staring at her who was making the knot of his tie "Par ek minute... Isne to kaha tha ki isse tie pehnani nai aati to... Aur jahan tak mujhe yaad hai.. Maine isse sikhaya b nai tha... Kyun ki Surbhi aa gayi thi... To ye itne ache se kaise pehna sakti hai...??" he thought confusedly remembering that day where She said she don't know how to make a tie
"Nai..." he answered turning back
"Kyun?? Armaan plz... Mujhe bore hoga chaliyee na" she requested which he can't refuse
"Fine... Main ye files aur Laptop rakhta hun" saying this he started keeping his things properly where as she sat on bed and started playing wd his black tie which made her remember about the day when she knowingly made him to teach her how to wear a tie which mades her smirked YES! she can try on him too! so what? if she already knows how to wear it but she can pretend😉
"Armaan... Aap mujhe tie pehnana sikhaynge??" she asked innocently showing the tie to him who frowned
"Tumhe... Tie banani nai aati??" he asked frowning to which she nodded innocently moving towards him
"Bachpan mein aata tha but ab bhul gayi" if anyone will see her they definitely think she is so innoncent and naive but how devil she is, she only knows!
"Par tum karogi kya seekh k?? Tumhe thodi tie pehnni hai" he spoke calmly wearing his wrist watch
"Aree kyun nai kaam aayga... Kya pata kal ko koi problem ho... To main hi kaam aaun aapke... Aur Future mein hamare baccho..." and she stopped at her last line and closed her eyes "Kardi na tune fir gadbad" she smacked herself mentally where as he was only staring at her bemusedly
"Kya kaha tumne??" he asked teasingly making her gulped
"Vo...ammm ...vo..." she fumbled making him smile when taking the tie from her hand he puts on back of her head he pulled her closer by tie making her stunned
"To chalo tie sikhaate hai tumhe" he said wd a grin pulling her closer who blushed hearing this making him smile when the door bell rang
"Mmmain... Dekhti hun..." saying shyly she moved to go when he gripped the tie's end stopping her
"Tie to deti jao..." he said teasingly making her realize that the tie was still on her neck immediately she put that down and ran from there making him chuckled at her blushing face
"Aisa b to ho sakta hai ki... Mere absence mein seekhi ho..." coming out from flashback he thought but remembering that day a unknown happiness reached his lips "Kash sab kuch pehle jaisa thik ho jaaye Shilpa... I miss us" his heart said staring at her quietly
"Shilpa... Jaldi se isse pehna k nikal... Varna teri halat dekh k saaf lagta hai tu behosh honewali hai" her mind mocked at her nervousness and making him to wear the blazer carefully she corrected his collar when he grabbed her both hands wd his hands which made her to look up at him confusedly
"Happy Anniversary Shilpa" he whispered softly staring at her whose heart skipped hearing this How did he knew this? He remember this date? Why?? These questions came inside her brain "I know thoda late wish kiya but... Kiya..." he is still holding her hands whose head bowed down thinking what to do where as he is expecting her to wish him back but she didn't said anything infact she slowly pulled her hands down which he leaved also and she turned her back at him while picking his wrist watch which was an answer for him that she didn't want to talk about it so getting sad he turned to wear the shoes where as she quietly put his things on table like his wallet, watch, car keys, hankerchief etc. "Maine tumhara gift.. Tumhare Wardrobe mein rakkha hai... Plzz accept kar lena... Aur aaj shaamko ready rehna Driver tumhe lene aayga... Bye" after getting ready & taking his things he said to her calmly where as she pretended she didn't heard him while putting the things back on its usual places and seeing her not responding he went from there sadly
"Shilpa maine tujh jaisi pagal ladki aaj tak nai dekhi... Kitne pyaar se wish kar rahe thae... At least jhuta hi sahi same to u bol deti..." her heart scolded her as she sat on bed tearfully "Ye sab sirf ek sympathy hai... Aur kuch nai... Tu dur hi reh usse" her mind warned her "At least ye to bol deti ki mat jao.. Tabeat thik nai hai... Par ye b nai bola tune... Ab dekh breakfast b nai karke gaye... Ab roti rehna.. Agar unhe kuch huaa to... Aur maaf nai kar paaygi tu khudko dekh lena" her heart spoke angrily to which she sniffed staring at the untouched breakfast tray "Kya karun main.. Kahan jaaun.. Kaise niklun is musibat se... Kuch samajh nai aa raha" she mumbled tearfully and wiping the tears she stood up to put his old shirt in Washroom
Night time
"Shilpa tum ab tak ready nai hui... abhi Driver aata hoga tumhe lene..." Radha spoke frowningly seeing her still on her morning saari
"Bua vo.. Mera mann nai hai.. Bahoot ajeeb sa lag raha hai" she lied while putting his files properly on shelf
"Dekha jaaye ye baat to Armaan ko kehni chahiyee kyun ki... Uski health kharab hone k bawajood b vo.. Tumhe bahar le jaa raha hai... Aur tum thoda sa b takleef bardaast nai kar sakti" Radha spoke in scolding voice which made her quiet "Dekho beta agar tumne usse abhi apne paas nai rakkha... To vo dur ho jaayga" this time she said softly
"Durr to vo kabka ho gaye Buaaji" her heart said hurtfully
"Aur vaise b uska dhyaan bahar rehta hai aaj kal main dekh rahi hun... Tum usse apne paas rakkha karo beta... Varna aaj kal ki ladkiyo ka koi bharosa nai hai kab chin le jaaye usko" Radha spoke in low voice which made her confused
"Vo thodi koi chiz hai Buaaji... Jo apne paas rakkhun... Unka kaam rehta hai to vo busy rehte hai bas" she spoke slowly
"Tum bahoot bholi ho Shilpa is liye vo nai dekh rahi ho jo main dekh rahi hun... tum na Armaan ko zara us Surbhi se dur rakkha karo... Vo bahoot zyada innvolve hoti hai uske saath... Mujhe acha nai lagta ye sab... To ye zimmedaari tumhari hai" Radha whispered in low voice but it made her hell shocked that how can she think like this about Surbhi
"Buaaji aap kuch zyada hi soch rahi hai... Surbhi bilkul aisi nai hai... Aur sabse badi baat vo engaged hai Rehaan k saath aap to jaanti hai... To aap aise kaise bol sakti hai... Mujhe Surbhi pe bahoot zyada vishwaas hai aur usse zyada Armaan pe..." controlling her anger she replied in poliet way
"Armaan ko to main b jaanti hun beta bas... Surbhi" Radha spoke concernedly to which she stops her
"Aap zyada soch rahi hai... Aisa kuch nai hai... Vo dono bahoot ache dost hai aur kuch nai" she spoke normally
"Jo b ho but main to tumhare bhale k liye keh rahi thi" Radha spoke slowly
"Aap kitna sochti hai mere aur Armaan k baare mein... Soo sweet... But Buaaji itna pyaar mat kijiye ki mujhe aapki salah ki aadat pad jaaye" she taunted in most sweetest way which Radha took in positive
"Aree ye to mera farz tha... Tum ready hokar jaldi neeche aa jao... Varna late ho jaayga" Radha spoke lovingly caressing her head who gave a sweet smile and Radha went from there
"Main maanti hun ki aapko Armaan ki parwa hai... But aap Surbhi ko kuch nai bol sakti kyun ki... Main jaanti hun vo galat nai hai... Ek baar Armaan galat ho sakte hai but Surbhi nai" she thought while moving towards her Wardrobe to change or else Radha will think again something stupid "Kya pehnun...?" she spoke confusedly looking at her dresses when her eyes landed on two plastic bags which were kept on the middle self "Ye...??" she frowned looking at bags and picking that bags she looked inside in which she found some clothes "Ye maine to nai liye fir??" she mumbled confusedly when 'Maine tumhara gift.. Tumhare Wardrobe mein rakkha hai... Plzz accept kar lena... Aur aaj shaamko ready rehna Driver tumhe lene aayga... Bye' his morning words hit her head so shaking her head she moved out from there and sitting on bed she opened the first bag in which a red saari was there from down it is green but its 'Pallu' was in red color there was golden & navy blue borders were shinning it was not so heavy not so light it was Perfect for her she took out that saari also its matching jewellery when her eyes landed on a note which was attached to that box
"Mujhe yehi mila tumhe dene k liye... Kya karun kuch samjha nai... Ki kya dun... Agar acha lage to pehna.. Varna jo marzi aaye vo pehena... Par plzz aana... Armaan" as she read this note she kept the saari on side and was about to put that gifts inside his Wardrobe when by mistakenly from her hand second bag fell down from which a white dress peeped out making her to bend and picked that dress during this a note fell from the dress so keeping that dress on her lap she opened that note
"I know bahoot late se ye gift apne maalik k paas pahuch raha hai but kya karun... Bhul hi gaya tha isko.. Ye maine tumhare last b'day pe liya tha Shilpa... But mauka nai mila dene ka... I think ye pehli aisi chiz hai jo tumhe sochke khareedi thi... Experience nai tha mere paas kisi ladki ko kuch dene ka uswaqt... But jab ye dress dekha to laga ye tumhare liye hi bana hai... So isse pehle ye choti ho jaaye plzz pehen lena... Armaan" as she read' this an unkown smile reached her lips so keeping the note inside the bag she looked at the dress which is full flare white dress wd silver embroidery
"Mat pehena Shilpa... Tu b jaanti hai ladke kaise hote hai... Apna pride kisi b haal mein banaye rakhna chahte hai" her mind spoke angrily "Shilpa... Ye pride nai hai.. Ye to pyaar lag raha hai... Tu aise kaise ignore kar sakti hai is chiz ko..." her heart tried to make sense in her "Tu baar baar kyun bhul jaati hai ki.. vo tujhse nai Kritika se pyaar karta hai..." her mind yelled at her "Nai Shilpa agar vo Kritika se pyaar karte to ab tak tujhe Divorce de diya hota" her heart took his side "Vo isliye kyun ki vo ladka hai... Vo to yehi chahega ki.. Uska affair b rahe aur ghar walo ki reputation b naa kharab ho... Avni ki shaadi ki wajah se tujhe rakkha hai abhi tak... Aur bhul mat tune us Kritika se promise kiya tha ki tu usse Divorce degi" her mind reminded her to which her heart argued and getting irritated Shilpa got up to keep that dress in bag when Surbhi entered there
"Shilpa... Ready kyun nai hui tum ab tak??" Surbhi asked confusedly to which she was about to reply when Surbhi's eyes landed on her saari which was still kept on bed "Wow...!! What a pretty saari..." she spoke happily picking that saari making her smile "Pehno na Shilpa mujhe dekhna hai ye tumpe kaisa lagega... Plzz" she requested excitedly making her giggle seeing her excitement
"Par mera mood nai hai jaane ka" she replied slowly "I mean mujhe bore hoga" she couldn't tell the real reason so she lied
"Aree... Par aaj Anniversary hai tum dono ki... To tym spend to karna hi padega tum dono ko" Surbhi spoke unbelievably making her look down "Aur vaise b... Tum dono k Date k do ghante baad hum sab... Kabab mein haddi banenge... Kyun ki Mr Khan ne promise kiya hai ki vo hume treat denge... To aaj hum sab dinner saath mein karenge... Including Ayaan & Rehaan" she announced wd a grin which made her mood light "Ab to pehnogi na...??" she asked cutely making her smile
"Thik hai... Pehnti hun" She replied smilingly while picking that saari also put that dress in bags and taking everything she went inside wardrobe sliding the glass door close she started wearing that saari forgetting her anger on him but she is doing to show everyone that everything is fine b/w them
"Acha Shilpa... Kal Karvachauth k din.. Mujhe b subhe 4 baje jaga dena... Sargi k liye" Surbhi spoke loudly while standing beside Wardrobe door
"Kyun...?? Tum itni subhe kya karogi uthke??" Shilpa's voice reached her ears
"Actually kal main b fast rakhungi... Rehaan k liye" Surbhi replied blushingly making her giggle
"Oohhhoo... Rehaan k liye itna pyaar" Shilpa teased
"Haa... Aur pata hai Rehaan b mere liye fast rakhega... Maine ye last year hi decide kiya tha ki... Main uske liye fast rakhungi aur usse b rakhwaungi..." she said nonchalantly while sitting on bed making Shilpa giggle "Kyun ki jab Mr Khan tumhare liye fast rakh sakte hai... To Rehaan kyun nai rakh sakta mere liye" she said smilingly making Shilpa's smile fade hearing this immediately last two years Karvachauth came in her mind where he kept fast for her "I know.. Tum soch rahi hogi ki mujhe kaise pata... To batadun ki Rehaan observe karta tha Mr Khan ko... Ki pure din Mr Khan kuch khaate peete nai thae..." she spoke wd a giggle making her eyes moist coz Surbhi reminded the old memories of ArSh but composing herself she put the saari's edge on her shoulder and opened the wardrobe door
"Is baar aisa nai hoga Surbhi..." She said normally walking infront of the dressing table
"Haa... Ye b hai... Mr Khan ko to yaad hi nai hoga..." Surbhi spoke sadly wdout looking at her "Tum kaho to main unhe bata dun..." she stood up cheerfully but stopped seeing her
"Nai Surbhi... Koi jarurat nai hai... Jaisa hai thik hai..." she spoke normally while wearing her earrings
"Omg!! Shilpa tum kya lag rahi ho... Superb... U r looking damm beautiful" Surbhi commented happily standing behind her who smiled at her words
"Thank u so much..." she turned at her smilingly while wearing navy blue & yellow bangles
"Mr Khan k to hosh hi ud jaaynge... Tumhe dekh k" Surbhi spoke teasingly to which she rolled her eyes and turning back again at mirror she started combing her hairs
"Acha Shilpa... Aaj na khub pet bhar k khaana... Kyun ki kal pure din bhuka jo rehna hai" Keeping her hands on her shoulder from behind she teased making her to glare "But seriously... Is baar Karvachauth thik tumhare Anniversary k baad aaya... Aur parso shaam ko hume Chandigarh k liye nikalna hai... Matlab hamare paas tym hi nai hoga naa..." she spoke excitedly making her giggle
"Haa... Vo to hai" Shilpa said normally while adding mascara in her eyes and applied lipstick on her rosy lips she wore her wedding chain not before putting vermilion in her scalp "I am ready" she looked back at her smilingly
"Tumhe pata hai... Agar main ladka hoti to... Tumhara Divorce Mr Khan se kara k... Tumse shaadi kar leti... Chahe tum maanti yaa na maanti..." she spoke in teasing tone keeping her hand on her shoulder who hide her smile
"To main tumhe bata dun... Ki agar tum ladka hoti to... Main khud Armaan ko Divorce dekar tumse shaadi karti... Kyun ki tum jaisi no I mean jaisa lover mujhe kahin nai milti ya milta" Shilpa played along wd her who giggled
"Luv u..." she hugged her tightly who hugged her back smilingly "Acha ab chalo varna... Neeche Driver jaane k liye chillayga aur udhar Mr Khan gussa ho jaaynge" she spoke in serious voice after parting from the hug
"Acha tum sab aaoge na...?" Shilpa asked slowly as they reached outside the room
"Haa baba... Aaynge... Ab tum jaao b" Surbhi giggled and nodding in YES Shilpa went outside
