Chapter 19: Mi Amor y Mi Corazon ( My love and
my heart)
The loud noise from the panicking crowd outside woke
Riddhima up. She blinked twice trying to transpire what the chaos was about.
She got out of the car and asked a person who was walking back from the beach. "Excuse,
What's going on? Why is there a big crowd gathering near the beach?", she
asked. "It's an accident case. Some drunk person ran over a shopper at the
stores near the beach shack with his van. Poor Man's really injured, they're
taking him to the hospital but I don't think he'll survive it", he said
sympathetically. That gave Riddhima a panic attack, Armaan said he was going to
go there to get something, her hands started shaking. "Do you….do you…know…what
color shirt he was wearing….?", she asked trembling with fear. "White, I think.
Yes, White shirt, Blue Jeans", he told her walking away as her world crashed
into a million pieces. That was exactly what Armaan was wearing today. No, she
couldn't lose him like that, no matter how angry she is with him, she needs him
like she needs air. She ran towards the
beach, near the beach shack where the crowd was now moving away near an
awaiting ambulance. She tried to run as fast as she can but she accidently
stepped on a broken glass bottle that was half buried in sand and it started to
bleed vigorously as the tiny glass peced pricked her skin. But she didn't care,
she ran as fast as she can but her foot was becoming numb with pain and her
feet was bleeding excessively now, as the broken glass pieces stuck to her skin
dug deeper. "Armaan", she cried as she dropped to the sudden floor as her feet
gave up on her, and tears streamed across her face. "Mujhe chodke math jao",
she cried. "I can't live without you", she screamed as she tried to get up but
fell down again. "Basket!", she heard from behind her and her eyes grew wide
in realization to the voice. Armaan ran towards her as he saw her fallen on the
ground with a bleeding foot that had left a trail of bloddy footprints across
the beach. "Basket Tum theek ho kya hua", he said as he knelt down, throwing
what he bought on the ground involuntarily. Riddhima looked up at him and
touched his face and then in almost a tick of second hugged him tight. He was
alarmed at her sudden attack of the hug, but nevertheless wrapped his arms
around her and brought her closer as she sobbed on his shoulder. Riddhima calmed
down a little as he enveloped her in his arms and the sense of security which
she always felt in his arms, which she was deprived of in the past one month
had returned. "What Happened Riddhima? What happened to your feet? Dikhao…It
must be", he pulled her out of the hug and she just continued to cry harder. "Riddhima….What
happened?", he said holding her arm, but she just pushed him away and moved
back a little. "Hua…. Kya hai", he said moving forward a little as she sobbed
harder, unable to see her in tears. "I hate you Armaan!!! I hate you! Main….tumse
nafrat karthi ho! I hate you…..", and Armaan hurt sank in pain as he heard
those words from her mouth, bringing in an ocean of guilt to drown in, as tears
formed in his eyes. "I heard there was a person dressed in white and blue who
was injured in an accident by the shack. Do you know what I had gone through
when I thought it was you? I died a thousand deaths!!!!!!!! Do you know how it
felt when you left me? I was shattered, it was a month of hell for me and then
suddenly you bump into me out of nowhere and apologize to me. Just when I'm
sinking into the satisfaction of atleast having you near me, you pull a stunt
like this. Kyun AAyi ho, mere zindagi mein Armaan? Kyu jaa rahe ho? Why are you
taking chunks of me with you whever you leave me? I hate you Armaan! I hate
you!!", she cried holding his shirt. Armaan just stood there dumbstruck with
all that she said. She's right, I deserve to be hated, he thought. "I hate you…I hate you..", she cried out in
frustration. "You're right I deserve to be hated. I knew this day woul;d come,
which was basically why I stayed away from you, tried to avoid you whenever I
could. But then that accident happened Riddhima, and you almost …..almost died",
he said swallowing unable to even think about her not existing in this world
even for a second. "And it was all because of me. Had I been a normal person
not fighting the laws and justice of the world, you wouldn't be in danger. The
very moment you were rolled into the operation theater, I thought of leaving
disappearing from you world forever. But then you made me promise to not leave
you forever, and I couldn't say no to that. So I stayed, but then you had to
lie to your family about what really happened, you …I didn't want you to be in
a situation ever like that again. I've seen the way Anjie cried over being separated
from your family, how Atul's always consoling her and giving her strength. I
know your family would never accept me in your life, and they shouldn't because
I'm a living danger to anyone who associates with me. But more than anyone
else, I wanted you to have a safe and happy life without me Riddhima. I never
meant for any of this to happen. Trust me. Had I known being in your life would
give you so much pain, I would have never came to Mumbai Riddhima. Had I known I would give the one person who
means the world to me the worst kind of heartbreak, I would have ran away to
save myself from you. But unfortunately I couldn't and probably can't Riddhima.
But being the selfish creature that I am, I can never regret meeting your or
falling in love with you. If I have ever
done anything right in my life, then it has to be loving you Riddhima", he said
caressing her cheek and wiping off the tears streaming across her face.
Riddhima stared at him speechless unable to say anything as he continued, "I know
you must be thinking if I truly loved you, why did I leave? But I didn't want
to leave Riddhima. I wanted to stay there with you forever, but I couldn't
because I thought I could never give you a good life. I thought you'd ending up
hurting like my …..I mean everyone else who ever loved me. But I was just being
really stupid, I always thought that Life would still be the roaring storm it
has always been in my life. But what I failed to realize was that the storm had
already started to clear. It started the moment you came into my life, bringing
rays of bright sunshine. You broke through my hard exterior and claimed my heart
like no one has.", he said smiling a little as he looked at her. Riddhima
stared at him, looking into his blue eyes and saw all that he was saying, his eyes
held feeling more vast than the seas, deeper than the oceans. "But I love you
Riddhima! I truly do. No matter how much I try to run away from you I can't,
because whever I go. My heart will always be with you, where it truly belongs",
he said looking at Riddhima. "Please Basket, this silence is killing me. Say something",
he said holding her shoulders. "I…hate you…..", she continued choking a little
as his heart sank as what he heard. Riddhima saw the pain return in her eyes
and continued, "I'd hate you forever If you ever left me again after telling me
all this", she sobbed at which he wiped her face and held her face in his
hands. "Kabhi Nahi", he said smiling through his tears. "Pakka?", she asked
sniffing again. "Pakka", he said leaning his forehead on hers. They were so
close to teach other, so close that they could feel each other's breath's on
their faces. "Mujhe maaf kardo basket! Mein kabhi yeh galti nahi karunga", he
said as he took both of her hand in his and brining them up to his face. "I
love you", he said kissing her hands. "I don't know what the future holds for
us. But I will promise you that I stand by you in every trial and joy. Chahhe
mujhe poore duniya se kyun naahi ladne padi, I wil fight it all for you. Chahe
meri jaan kyun na chale ja-", and she cut him off by placing her hand on his
mouth. "Aisa kabhi math kehna! I won't be able to live", she said caressing his
face. "I love you Armaan", she said crying and he just pulled her closer and
hugged her tight. And she cried on his shoulder, harder than ever, letting all the pent up
emotion and pain out of her system. She had become a block of ice as she tried
to ignore the pain of losing him in the past one month and now she let the dams
flood through the gate and released everything. Armaan rubbed her back as she
cried on his shoulder, and he let her cry, getting everything off her chest. "Shh!
Bas ab aur nahi! Bahut dard sehen liye tumne. AAb mein tumhe itna pyaar karunga
ki tumhari har dard, har chhot, har ansoon bahe jaaye. I'll love you so much
that pain would be overshadowed by love in
your life Riddhima", he said kissing her forehead as they both sat there at the
beach. The Sun's set brought an opaque night of stars shinning bright at them, celebrating
a union of two star crossed lovers. Armaan pulled her away from him as he
looked at her foot, which was still bleeding. "Riddhima, lets get you t a
hospital now. You lost a lot of blood", he said getting up in one swift movement
and picking her up in another. "Armaan, Its Oka-", "Please don't say your okay.
Besides I'm not listening to you. You're hurting my most precious thing in the
world and I won't let you", he said stubbornly as he carefully placed her in
the car and drove towards the hospital again. Riddhima smiled a little as she
remembered her two week stay at the hospital after she was shot and the way he
fussed over her as he got out to pick her up again when he stopped in front of
the hospital. Once her foot was taken care of, he picked her up again and
placed her carefully in the car and drove back, as he continued to tell her how
stupid he was. But after a while, he stopped getting any of her, "You're a
Idiot!" from her, he turned to look at her. And his heart jumped at the sight
in front of him. She looked so beautiful while sleeping and it had been ages
since he had watched her sleep. She looked so peaceful, so serene, so angelic
in the white dress she was wearing. He carefully picked her up and carried her
upstairs to her room, when they reached home. It was only six thirty, which
meant he had still had a couple of hours before Dadi came. He came down and saw
all the preparations he made tonight for him and Riddhima. He sighed as he
thought it wouldn't be possible today. But then an idea formed its way in his
head and he smiled wide. He immediately started cleaning up everything
downstairs and grabbed whatever he needed and headed upstairs, hoping she'll
like what he was about to do.
