ARYAN ki SHADI 8.3
As soon as Riddhima had said the word 'fire', there was a knock on the door. Dr Shashank entered the ICU waiting area. Both Armaan and Riddhima stood up.
Riddhima pointing towards her father her eyes narrowed into slits (Furiously): AAP!
The little colour in Shashank's face had dissolved and Riddhima's tone of voice had left him stationary at the door of the ICU waiting area.
Armaan held Riddhima's hand as a means to calm her down. He had never seen her so resentful towards her father. Riddhima jerked off Armaan's hand, not looking back at him once and walked up to her father.
Riddhima: She could feel the anger pounding through her blood stream. Where have you been? And what on earth is going on? I need answers Pa.. I NEED ANSWERS NOW!
She was about to call him Papa, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Armaan rushed to Riddhima's side, he had never seen Riddhima so embittered, and feared what she may do or say.
Armaan: Riddhima CALM DOWN, we cannot jump to any assumptions, without hearing the truth. Let's see what he has to say first.
Dr Shashank gave a small smile after hearing what Armaan had to say. This hadn't gone unnoticed by Riddhima.
Riddhima: (looking Armaan in the face) Armaan how can you be so calm, when when when....Wait Armaan you don't know do you? You weren't there were you? After Abhi took Aahana out of the house, Pa... (Pointing at Dr Shashank) he... HE had disappeared nor had he enquired about Aahana, he had vanished, gone from the crime scene.
Armaan: (Quietly): I know Abhi told me EVERYTHING.
Riddhima (perplexed and irritated): Armaan if you know everything as you said you do, then why are you not saying nor doing anything ,she said putting a hand thorough her hair to vent out her frustration
Armaan: Because Riddhima I know how it feels to be held culprit for something I never did. It's not right to jump to conclusions without hearing what the other person has to say.
Riddhima felt a twinge of guilt at Armaan's words. He was indirectly but unknowingly taunting her and her father. Riddhima knew that Armaan had forgiven her long ago for accusing him of Padma's death he had never held it against her, but this guilt would last forever. Armaan then looked Dr Shashank in the eye and said...
Armaan (In a steady but firm voice): Dr Shashank Gupta, we need to know the truth. We have a right to know and we need to know NOW!
Shashank ignoring Armaan and looking at Riddhima, Armaan had expected to be ignored. Shashank ignored him all the time, unless it was about their professional lives.
Shashank: How is Aahana? I need to know
Riddhima: Don't you dare ask how my daughter is Pa... Don't you dare ask!
Shashank: I need to know
Riddhima: You have no right to know. If you really cared, then you would never have left the scene the way you did.
Shashank: I had to, I needed to. And why do you stop yourself from calling me 'Papa'.
Shashank: (Holding Riddhima's shoulders) I am your Papa Riddhima.
Shashank: (Looking Riddhima in the eye), I am yours and Anjali's Papa. You are my daughters.
Shashank's words were buzzing inside Riddhima's head and she could not take it anymore. She forcefully shrugged her father's hands off of her shoulders and shook her head and shouted
Riddhima: Shut up, just shut up! You lost that right, a LONG time ago.
Armaan, Shashank and Riddhima herself were all shocked at Riddhima's reply to her answer. Riddhima had never spoken in an ill mannered tone towards her father, and now she had told him to 'shut up'.
Armaan, who had kept quiet listening to the conversation between Riddhima and Dr Shashank, began to speak before things got out of hand.
Armaan: Riddhima, ye tum...
Riddhima: No Armaan, today I will speak. I will say what I have to say, because you haven't said anything to him for 3 years despite the fact that we are now married.
Before she could say any more she began crying and collapsed in a heap on the floor.
Shashank: Riddhima...
He went to touch her shoulders, to help her up. But Armaan prevented him from doing so. He made Riddhima stand up himself and she entwined her arm with his.
Shashank (Thundering at Armaan): Tum. How dare you? Yeh tum kya kar rahe haun? Voh MERI beti hain.
Riddhima (Angrily): Tameez se baat karaun. Me tumhari beti hoon as you said, par yeh mere pati hain. Aur kya beti beti baul rahe hain, tum beti ka matlab samaj te hain. You want me to call you 'Papa' right, well what about Armaan? Armaan may never be able to hear Aahana calling him 'Papa, he may never get the chance to hear his own daughter call him Dad.
Riddhima's speech had rendered both Armaan and Shashank speechless. Riddhima was getting hysterical, tears were pouring out of her eyes, as she spoke. Armaan wiped the tears off of her face with his thumbs and she instantly hugged him.
Riddhima: Armaan sab bura sirf tumhare saat kyun hota hain?
Armaan: Shhhh Shhhh bas Riddhima. Bura kya huan, aaj tum mere saat haun aur kya chaiya mujhe? Aur dekho Aahana bi theek haungi hamare liye.
Riddhima had stopped crying
Riddhima: Armaan tum bahut ache haun. Aur Aahana theek hau jayengi naa?
Armaan: Yes baby she will get better, just for us. And baby you cannot blame Dr Shashank, we still don't know what happened.
Shashank just stood there and watched in awe at the couple. He knew Armaan was not wrong, but he didn't put aside his ego. He couldn't. Armaan was there when his wife died and he wasn't present. Armaan knew that Padma had an illness, yet he still didn't tell anybody, and Shashank held this against Armaan.
Riddhima then disengaged from the hug and went up to her father.
Riddhima: Ab bolo, what happened, and how did the fire start? Just tell us the truth please. Her tone held a sense of finality.
Shashank had been dreading this moment. What was he going to tell Armaan and Riddhima?
Shashank: Riddhima suno...
Riddhima: Just tell me the truth, noth... nothing more, nothing less. Her voice teetering at an edge.
Shashank: Mujhe... Mujhe...
Shashank: I don't know.
Riddhima: (Hysterical) Tell me NOW!!
The rest of the gang had heard the commotion from inside the ICU waiting area, and decided to walk in.
Riddhima (Furiously) God-dammit JUST TELL US THE TRUTH DR SHASHANK GUPTA
Anjali who had opened the door, jolted and everybody else behind her stopped abruptly. All were shocked out of their wits, hearing Riddhima speak in such a manner to her father.
Anjali (finding the right words, and walking towards her younger sister): Ridzy yeh tum... why are you speaking to Dad in this manner?
Riddhima: Please not now Di she said ignoring her sister.
Anjali was stunned at Riddhima's straightforwardness and boldness. She kept quiet
Riddhima: Tell Me NOW! What Happened? Kya Hua?
Abhi, Niki, Muskaan, Rahul, Atul , Armaan, Riddhima and Anjali set their eyes on Shashank as his one answer would pierce the tension which had accumulated in the atmosphere.
Shashank: Maine... Maine... I...
All sighed
Armaan: You what?
Shashank: Maine.... I
Riddhima: Forgoodness sake, Maine Kya?? What happened?
Shashank's memory was fading, he himself did not remember know what happened, he didn't understand what was happening to him, his eyes felt heavy and he could hear noises of Aahana crying.
Anjali: Dad kya hua, what happened at the house?
Muskaan (boldly): Sir did you ignite the fire
All stared at her
Rahul: Shh Muskaan, what are you saying?
Riddhima (looking at Rahul): Rahul why are you telling her to be quiet she has asked the correct question. Dr Shashank himself will not say anything.
Anjali: Dad Muskaan galat keh rahi hain na?
Riddhima: Why will he tell Muskaan off, when he knows what she is asking is the truth.
Riddhima: Bolo! Did you start the fire?
Armaan too had realised Dr Shashank's silence at Muskaan's question. Armaan decided it was time to speak up.
Armaan (with a stern look): Riddhima CHUP! Be quiet no more questions. Muskaan, Anjali everybody no more questions, PLEASE. Only I will ask questions.
Everybody was stunned at Armaan. Nobody spoke. Riddhima turned her head. Anjali was about to say something, but Armaan's stern gaze automatically made her close her mouth and she dropped her gaze. Muskaan trembled and stood beside Rahul. Rahul held her palm and she smiled and stopped trembling and thought how blessed she was to have a person like Rahul in her life.
Armaan: Dr Shashank, nobody out of us will judge your actions if you did do something, everybody makes mistakes, we are only human, but we deserve to know the truth. Please just tell us what happened. And if you didn't do anything then we will leave it at that.
Shashank was astounded at Armaan. He was willing to forgive and forget so long he was told the truth.
Shashank: I told you I really don't know. Sach me, mujhe yaad nahi hain.
Shashank was trying to remember, everything was becoming a blur and his eyes were blacking out. He could hear Aahanas cries. He began to sway, holding his head. He caught hold of the door. His eyes closed, as he staggered.
Abhimanyu had been closely monitoring each and every move of Shashanks, but he did not say anything.
Anjali: Papa
Armaan: Dr Shashank
Armaan went over to Dr Shashank to help him up
Shashank opened his eyes, but there was a glimmer in his eyes. One which conveyed nefariousness, his eyes had crystallized conveying a sharp coldness.
Shashank: No I don't need help; I can get up myself Mr Mallik. Shaking his head and brushing his hands together as he got up
Shashank (to the occupants of the waiting area): Why are you all staring at me for?
Niki: Sir are you okay? You were holding your head and staggering just now.
Shashank: I am completely fine
Niki: In that case are you sure you cannot recollect anything about how the fire may have started?
Atul: Anything Sir on what may have caused the fire to start
Riddhima: (In desperation) Any hint, any clue?
Shashank (rounding on the others): Fire, fire, fire, is all that you keep asking, ask me something I don't know already.
The change in Shashank's posture, tone and attitude had not gone unnoticed by anyone. Everybody stood staring.
Shashank began singing.
Shashank: Fetch the engine, fetch the engine
Fire, fire! Fire, fire!
Pour on water, pour on water
Everybody had though Shashank had gone completely mad.
All: What?
Shashank: You wanted to know about the fire didn't you?
Riddhima: Stop playing games, singing songs, creating riddles, asking rhetorical questions and whatever else is going on in your mind. Just tell us the truth!
Shashank: Okay simply the truth. Here it is.... I ... I ... started the fire said Shashank with a impish smile playing on his lips like a child has once they have done something naughty
There was total and utter silence, all that could be heard was Riddhima's heavy breathing. Everyone's mouths were left open. Rahul shaking his head, Muskaan searching for words, Anjali frozen in a trance, Niki matching Anjies state, and finally Armaan and Riddhima who were both holding hands, dropped each other's hold. Abhimanyu as if he anticipated Shashank to say something like this, just kept quiet as thoughts whirled in his mind.
Armaan (first to fall out of this trance -stammering): sssir what you saying?
Shashank: (smiling boldly) yes you heard right I nearly killed your daughter. Sun lo sun lo, I Dr Shashank Gupta started the fire which may nearly kill Aahana Mallik.
Riddhima: (In fear) What? You are joking na? this is a sick joke because I know my Papa. He could never do such a thing.
Shashank: Papa I thought just minutes ago you said you had no Papa. What happened?
Riddhima had tears seeping out her eyes; she hadn't meant what she had said she had spoken out of anger. But know her temper was rising
Riddhima: Who the hell do you think you are? What have you done with my Papa? And more importantly what the hell happened with Aahana?
Atul was shaken to see the man who was his idol, saying such things and that too so callously.
Atul: Sir ye aap? Mera matlab it was a mistake right?
Shashank's memory began fading once more.
Dr Shashank: I can't remember...
Armaan was fed up of Dr Shashank's game of tales going in circles.
Armaan: you clearly stated that you nearly killed our daughter. What is going on?
Shashank: Mr Mallik as I said before I nearly killed Aahana, and I do not regret it, his eyes began dimming again, where... where am I? Aahana ko bachau she is in the building.
Everybody gasped what was going on? Shashank was contradicting himself. He stated he killed Aahana, and now he was saying he doesn't know where she was.
Armaan had had enough; he could not hold his poise any longer. He pinned Dr Shashank by the shoulder and in a hoarse whisper said 'Get Out!' and flung Dr Shashank to the door.
Nobody spoke, all eyes were On Armaan. Anjali's eyes had narrowed into slits.
Anjali: Papa. Armaan yeh tum? How dare you Armaan. Do you have no respect?
Armaan (exclaiming): What Anjie? What! I am sick and tired of everything. We have been waiting for ages and now the man who by title is my father in law claims he has attempted to kill my daughter. Then he says he doesn't know. Tell him to stop playing games.
Anjali had no reply to this, thus she remained quiet.
Riddhima didn't blame Armaan at all but she knew he must be feeling terribly guilty. She went up to him and wrapped her arms around his back from behind while looking at her father who was lying on the floor.
Riddhima: Armaan. Armaan suno meri baat. Baby listen....
Armaan: turned around and rested his head on her shoulders and began crying. Armaan's tears began lapping on Riddhima bare shoulder where her Sari pallu was free. This was the first time during the situation had Riddhima had seen Armaan cry.
Riddhima: Armaan baby please don't cry, it's not your fault we need an answer. Armaan shhh...
Armaan said nothing; he just kept his head on Riddhima's shoulder. He felt terribly guilty. He was the one who had sent Aahana to Shashank and because of him Aahana was fighting between life and death. His tears were searing Riddhima's heart apart.
Atul meanwhile went to Shashank to help him get up.
Shashank: The glimmer of nefariousness returned to Shashank's eyes, they had once again crystallized. 'Get off of me Mr Joshi' He said shrugging Atul's hand off of his shoulder.
Abhi had realised that there was something wrong with Dr Shashank.
Armaan tiredly lifted his head off of Riddhima's shoulder and looked up. His eyes were a swollen red; he was tired, worn out, confused, angry, upset all different emotions were evident on his face.
Swiping the tears off of his face and walking up to Shashank
Armaan: (weakly) I have had enough! We gave you enough chances. Just tell me! Did you, or did you not set that fire.
Shashank: Fire? What fire, the only fire I set this afternoon was when I turned the cooker on to make tea for Padma and then I went for a bath.
Once again silence had crept into the room, Shashank never mentioned Padma, and now he was talking as if she were alive Riddhima was aghast, how dare Shashank say such a thing.
Riddhima: You left the cooker turned on and went to have a bath, Are you out of your mind! And Mum... Mum has been dead for three years
Shashank (laughing): That's what you think. But I see her every day, she was cross with me because I didn't stay to see how Aahana was at the scene of the fire. So I came here.
Riddhima (THUNDERING): What are you saying? What is going on? Mumma is DEAD!
Rahul stepped in, he could see Armaan was in no fit state to move nor was he saying anything. He was frozen remembering Padma's death which had taken place in front of his eyes.
Rahul: Sir ye aap kya keh rahe hain. Padma maam died 3 years back and Aahana, how could you be so careless to leave the cooker on and have a bath, when a 6 month baby is in the house.
Shashank began laughing a callous laugh
Rahul couldn't control himself. He held Shashank's collar in a threatening state.
Rahul: You are the most insensitive and cold hearted person I have met till date. You deserve nobody, you hear me, NOBODY (he held Shashank's collar tighter)
Abhi intervened between Rahul, before he could cause Shashank harm.
Abhi: Leave him Rahul. Chodo unhe.
All eyes were on Abhi
Riddhima: Why, after all he has done, why?
Abhi (with a deep breath): Riddhima he is unwell.
Everybody gaped with eyes and mouths wide open at Abhimanyu's words
And at that moment, Dr Keerti came out of the OT. The operation was over. Everybody froze.

Dearest Soph, 🤗
Usually, I begin my comments from the starting of the story. Yet today, it is not the starting that held me, but the ending. I am confused, I had always thought Dr. Shashank Gupta, to be responsible for the state of aahna, yet today, I don't know whether he really can be held responsible for it.
Oh, the cliffhangers. Hmm, the way you are used to my constant chatter, I am used to the cliffhangers by now.
The operation is over, and well I hope it is a good news. Amidst all the problems and mental trauma that Armaan-Riddhimma are going through this is one news they really need.
The beauty of a story, I have always believed, lies in the smallest gestures. When Armaan reached the peak of his temper and asked everyone to keep mum, I couldn't help but smile at muskaan's thought. It just rekindles the fact, that no matter what problem, if you have a loved one beside you, life is a cakewalk.
One thing that I just noticed is the fact that since the last time you have been giving each of the updates a title (I don't remember if it was there earlier also). The title is like a summary of two words which tells you what to expect, so when I started reading, I just knew that shashank was gonna create some fuss.
As for the problem he is going through I don't know, it is some mental disorder for sure, and maybe it is the result of so much of negativity inside him. He has always held Armaan responsible for the death of his beloved wife. He has never truly blessed his younger daughter for her future. All these things, might have accumulated to into something so drastic.
The death of padma, has anyone in the family, or even the friends got over it? No, the answer is a plain simple no. Anything, that has even the slightest link to padma evokes a reaction from everybody; armaan goes through a myriad of emotions, riddhimma feels sad and guilty, anjali weeps for the loss of her mother and feels helpless, and shashank … he doesn't know what to do. He knows somewhere in the deepest corner of his heart that armaan is not to be blamed. Yet, I think apart from his ego, he also feels that if he forgives armaan, then he will be cheating on padma. Oh, and when I think of that, that can possibly be a reason, after all he has thought sometime, somewhere that she cheated on him, by telling armaan and not him.
All, this only makes us realize that a person is so multi faceted and you cannot ascribe one meaning to one person, s/he is so much beyind that.
Abhi, he seems to be the most perceptive of them all, in todays update. He notices every reaction of shashank, every intricate behavioral detail, even the blink of an eye. He was present on the site of the accident, and maybe this is the reason why he wanted to see things so closely, probably looking for signs?
During his observation, which was very objective, the characteristics of a doctor seep in, as he see's signs of a disorder, probably mental. He waits for a while, confirming his suspicions' and then breaks the news to them. A news that shuts up each persons words and thoughts that moment.
While reading the part of shashank, I was reminded of a few lines, that I had read a while ago:
Watch your thoughts, they become words,
Watch your words, they become actions,
Watch your actions, they become habits,
Watch your habits, they become character,
Watch your character, for it becomes…your destiny.
No person can be so black a character, that s/he sets fire to a house with an infant in it, and especially not your own granddaughter, so lets see what compelled him or by what was he possessed that he behaved in such a way. This incident also reminds me of the time when riddhimma had called up her father and told him that aahna would be coming to stay with him. His expression that day, and the incidents of today hint at something big. Today, it really is more than what meets the eye.
They say, to err is human, to be forgiven is divine. I believe, to err is human, to ask for forgivness is divine. Though not directly, but these words reminded me of armaan today. He being the father, going through a turmoil of emotions, assuring his beloved, reassuring his friends that everything is good, still wants to know only the truth. He is ready to forgive shashank, or anyone for that matter, all he is asking or rather begging for is the truth. His frustration about all of this has been bottled up for a while now. He has tried everything, everything that was futile. His holding shashank by the collar was nothing, nothing more than the desperation for an answer. The lack of answers leads him to lose his composure; a composure that was kept intact for all this while, probably the most testing hours of his life. Thankyou for portraying the character of Dr. Armaan Mallik, so beautifully. I hope he gets his answers and leads a happy life, he truly deserves all of it.
Riddhimma, like any mother in this world, her base has shaken today. She too wants answers, but she falls weak. There is an inner conflict in her. She doesn't know what to do with her father, she doesn't know whether her daughter will ever see the lights of the world again, and she doesn't know how to comfort armaan. All of this, and she breaks down. She had always been the sweet daughter, the polite one, who made her point, but never raised her voice. Yet, all these factors today make her loose all of that, and she says things which shock her bone marrow too, forget the others. How and where did the polite girl vanish? Oh, who can blame her? Going through something so horrible as this, everything she does should be forgiven.
The love of Armaan and Riddhimma, this is something that had initially attracted me to the very serial Dill Mill Gayye, and Im glad that you kept it intact. Armaan intervenes when he knows that Riddhimma will not be able to speak further, he stops her from saying a few things which she might have regretted later. Riddhimma on the other hand, doesn't forget to defend armaan and put his point forward, and im proud of her for saying that if shashank feels akward at not being called 'dad', how would armaan feel? After all, they are both fathers. She goes upto him, hugs him, and mentally wipes his tears. Aaaaaw.
The small gesture like the entwining of hands, may seem nothing, but speaks volumes. It is small things like these that give you strength and hope.
Lets see what the future track presents us with. Today again, I repeat my words that I need not worry, because the story is in skilled hands. The only problem I found was tons of grammatical errors, but apart from that BRILLIANT !!
Loads of love,
Arushi 🤗
