Riddhima rushed towards him and next few minutes were like in bizarre. No one understands what happen and why riddhima runs. But after few minutes as everyone comes to their senses as they heard the loud bang of chandelier falling and all the glass crushed in million pieces on the floor. All of them looked for armaan as riddhima shouted his name before all of these happened. And nandini screamed not seeing his son.
N:''armaan.''
And that breaks everyone's reverie and then they looked here and there. And then rahul saw both his brother and sister-in-law lying on one side. And seeing them rahul pointed to them.
Ra:''mom bhai.''
And everyone rushed to them and they saw riddhima is on top of armaan. And armaan is under her and then anurag gives his hand to his grand daughter-in-law. Yes he is safe and fine, as he has already moved away to safe distance when riddhima saw chandelier falling. And at that time its only armaan standing under it and that's why she shouted his name only. As she stands up taking dadu's hands, armaan stands up with support of rahul's hand. And then nandini and prerna rushed to him and looked at him in all worry.
N:''armaan beta.''
Pr:''armaan aap thek tou hain na beta kahin lagi tou nahin?''
As both the ladies showered him with questions, karan comes forward and
K:''ma, nandini armaan ko room mein leke chalo. Shanky doctor ko call kijiye.''
He said as everyone is so much tensed for him as all the Malliks even Guptas were busy in looking for armaan. As they think he may get hurt himself, somehow they forgot about riddhima. But one person did not forget about her. And his eyes are just on hers so he finally speaks up as he saw his family is all worried and tensed for him.
A:''mom, dad I am fine mujhe kuch bhi nahin hua hain.''
He said finally grabbing everyone's attention but this time samriti speaks up as.
Sa:''armaan beta ye hap decide nahin karenge. Doctor ko ane dijiye let him check.''
P:''han samriti thek keh rahi hain. Armaan kabhi kabhi humein pata nahin chalta apni chot (wound) ke bare mein.''
Ra:''ap sab inki kyun sun rahein hain chaliye inhein inke room mein lekar. Anurag chalo.''
As ram said armaan sighed he has one of the mad family. So finally he thought to take things in his hands.
A:''dadu main sach mein theek hun. Par ap is sab mein actually yeh dhayan nahin de rahein ki kaun actually hurt hua hain?''
He said finally taking everyone's attention and this time anurag speaks up.
An:''armaan paheliyan (riddles) mat kahiye kise lagi hain?''
A:''dadu main paheliyan nahin keh raha hun. Papa ap sab yeh bhul gaye ki mujhe Riddhima ne bachaya hain. Usne mujhe tou bcha liyya. Par ap sab mujhe dekhne ke chakkar mein bhul gayye. She is the one who got hurt.''
He said looking at shashank and that immediately moved all the eyes on her. And they find riddhima's arms covered with blood. And seeing that samriti has tears in her eyes.
Sa:''rhea bacha.''
But before she can say anything armaan looked at her. As he saw she actually has some injury on her back. He rushed to her and to everyone's surprise. He puts his arm ever so softly around her back and then starts walking.
A:''hum bad mein batein karenge. Right now riddhima needs medical attention. Mumma please ap attend kijiye riddhima ko. Oska blood zayda nikal raha hain.''
He said to samriti as he finds her blood is oozing little more and being a doctor she can handle her doctor. And she nodded and within few minutes, they were in their room. With riddhima settled on the bed while samriti checked on her. As everyone waited for her outside in the passage and armaan is leaning on the wall thinking about today's events. He has everything crystal clear in his mind. As he heard riddhima's shout for his name, he is surprised and then he is more shocked when she just suddenly runs to him. And then she pushed him with so much force that they landed on the floor far with her over him. And he did not know that how she managed to cover his manly frame with her petite frame that not even a small ounce of hurt happens to him. But in all these she gets hurt. And it was just like she becomes his shield and he feels so guilty that now because of him she is hurt. And his thoughts breaks as he heard door opened and samriti mumma walks outside. And seeing her everyone showered her with questions.
Sh:''samriti kaisi hain meri bachi zayda tou nahin lagi na ose?''
Ra:''samriti boliye na beta princess thek tou hain na?''
And hearing them samriti gives them a small nod. She knows how much riddhima meant to them and then she heard.
An:''samriti beta agar koi problem hain tou we can take her to hospital.''
She heard anurag and that actually makes her smile. Her daughter is lucky to have such in-laws who cared for her like them only. As she did not speak armaan got impatient too so he finally asked.
A:''mumma riddhima thek nahin hain kya?''
As he asked samriti looked at him and she saw the genuine concern and care in his eyes so she finally speaks up.
Sa:''armaan riddhima thek hain beta. Ap sab bhi tension mat lijiye. By god's grace she is completely fine. Bas zara si oski baju par lagi hain and one scratch on her back. Otherwise she is fine please ap log tension mat lijiye.''
She said and hearing her everyone sighed in relief. As they know she is her mother and she will never lie about her daughter. Then looking at everyone she knows they want to meet her so she speaks up.
Sa:''ap subh miliyega riddhima se. Maine ose painkiller di hain she is resting. Hum sab chalte hain jakar guests ko dekhte hain.''
She said and everyone nodded and walked down to attend the guests. Then nandini turned to armaan and looked at him.
N:''mani ap riddhima ke pas hi ruko. Ose kisi cheej (thing) ki zarurat na pade. Main apka khana yahin bhjwati hun beta. '
Armaan nodded as his mother said and placed a kiss on his temple. Then samriti pressed his shoulder too and
Sa:''aur armaan beta riddhima bilkul theek hain, ap kuch bhi mat sochiyega.''
She said as she can read the guilt in his eyes and armaan nodded. As both the mothers walked down armaan entered in his room. And with soft and slow steps he entered inside the bed room area. As he entered, finds there she is laying on the bed under the bed covers. She did not sleep yet, but she is lying with the support of bed post. She is changed as he saw her free from all the heavy jewels. And his eyes landed on the bandage that is covering her upper arm. Seeing that bandage his heart feels so much guilty. Just within one day of their marriage, she is already hurt and that just because of him. For saving him she gets herself hurt. Riddhima looked at him as she finds him standing still at his place. Somehow she feels little bit uncomfortable; she did not know what to do. But her mind is in peace seeing him fine but her heart needs to assure.
R:''armaan are you fine?''
But just for the relaxation of her own heart she asked him. And that caught him off guard. There she is lying injured; still she is worried for him. So he just nodded his head.
A:''yeah riddhima I am fine. How are you feeling now riddhima?''
He asked and riddhima looked at him then giving him a small smile.
R:''I am fine armaan. Please ap sab tension mat lijiye.''
She said and armaan returned his smile.
A:''thank you riddhima.''
He said taking her in surprise and she looked at him.
R:''kis liyye armaan?''
She asked and armaan looked at her then uttered softly as.
A:''meri jaan bachane ke liyye.''
He said making her look at him then she speaks up.
R:''please ap thank you mat boliye. Humne vo kiya jo humein karna chahiye tha. Ap humare Suhag hain armaan. Humnein apka sath nibhane ka vachan diyya hain.''
She said looking at him for a second but then altered her gaze. Armaan is shocked hearing her, he knows though she agree to marry him on her own will. But he never knew that she will accept him so soon as her husband. And then riddhima tried to lay down as she is feeling sleepy. And seeing her doing that with her injured hand, armaan's trance breaks and he rushed to her. Before she will put any strain to her already injured hand, he stopped her in middle.
A:''kya kar rahi ho? Abhie tou chot lagi hain, us par affect padega. Mujhe bol deti. Main yahin tou hun na.''
He said scolding her a bit and he even did not know when in all her tension and care for her, he actually scolded her.
R:''sorry.''
She just mumbled softly while armaan softly arranged the pillows on one side to give the support to her injured arm. Then he helped her to lay down on the bed. And in all this riddhima feels shiver running in her spine. She don't know why but her body feels some strange sensations. This never happened with her before at all. This is not the first time that she comes in the contact of the guy. She did as in past she has many guy friends, but she never feels this kind of strange sensation whenever they touched her. And she could not able to understand what is this. As armaan helps her to settle, that is the moment he comes so close to her face to face. He looked at her she is pretty. He feels uncomfortable and just altered his gaze from her face, then he is going to move away. When his eyes landed on her slender neck as he saw something shining against her white neck. As riddhima is free from all jewelry, he finds her just having that black beaded thread around her neck. And he could not help but admired that. This is something that is totally his choice for her. As he wants her to wear their wedding sign of his choice. This is just black beaded thread with some gold beads in between and a diamond pendant in the end. He could not help but admired how it is resting on her upper chest. And his heart feels something stirred as it looks so beautiful around her neck. His trance breaks as he heard the knock on the door. And he just excused himself from her.
A:''main abhi aya.''
And he walked out and as he opened the door, he finds one of their helpers standing there. Seeing him she bowed her head.
H:''yuvraj choti rani ma ne apke aur yuvragi ji ke liye khana bhijwaya hain.''
She said and armaan looked at the trolley that is filled with food. He nodded and thanked her.
A:''shukriya ap jayiye hum le jayenge.''
He said and the helper nodded and bowed her head and left from there. Armaan pushed the trolley inside his bed room area. He thought to have their food there only as it will not stress her much. Soon he entered and as his eyes landed on her to call her for dinner. He saw she has her eyes closed, so he called her taking her name.
A:''riddhima khana.''
He called but he did not gets any response from her, frowning he moved to her.
A:''riddhima khana kha lijiye.''
But again no response and then he bends towards her. He feels her shallow breaths and that intends that she is asleep. First he thought to wake her up so that she can eat something but than otherwise.
A:''nahin abhi nahin uthata hun, medicine ke effects se ankh lag gayyi hain. Ab uthaunga tou dard na ho.''
He said to himself and then moved away after covering the food trays. As he himself is not in the mood to eat too. He entered in his lounge area in his chamber, as he did not wants to disturb her. He laid on the couch there removing his blazer and loosening his tie and closed his eyes.
A:''kitna sab badal gayya in 2 dinon mein. Kahan yeh 2 din meri zindagi ke sabse khuhsi ke din banane vale the. Main inka pal-pal intejar kar raha tha, Kahan yeh din aise ban gayye. Aakhir kyun kiya Shreya tumne aisa. Kitna sab socha tha maine aj ke din ke liyye humare liyye. Nahin you don't deserve it. Tum mere pyaar ke layak hi nahin tha. I hate myself for loving you Shreya.''
He said bitterly as he remembered her. He don't know when tiredness took toll on him. And he fell asleep there only. Next morning his sleep breaks as he feels pain in his neck. He rubbed his neck and blinked his eyes. Then he opened them and gaze at the time on the wall clock. It shows 9;a.m. in the morning. He gets up and sits on the couch itself to get away from his sleepiness. It was hardly 5-10 minutes when he heard one soft voice.
R:''ap jayiye rupa didi coffee hum bana lenge.''
And his eyes shoot open as he heard her soft voice. Then suddenly he remembered the last day's events, her saving him and getting hurt herself. He gets up and finds her standing there, all dressed up. Now she comes in front of him pushing the trolley.
R:''good morning. Ap fresh hokar coffee lenge ya abhie bana dun.''
She asked and armaan did not reply as he is too busy in looking at her. And as he did not reply she asked again.
R:''kya hua?''
She asked and then armaan comes back to reality and then he finally speaks up.
A:''riddhima you should not be doing all this. You are hurt, your wound is still fresh.''
He said looking at her arms which is covered with fresh bandage. Riddhima gives him a small smile to him.
R:''I am fine now don't worry.''
A:''sure?''
R:''yeah.''
Then she looked at him and then though to inform him as mumma told her to inform him.
R:''ap chahe bad mein ready ho jayiye ya abhi ho jayiye. Par jab hum jaye please neche aa jayiye mumma ne bola hain.''
She said and armaan looked at her surprised where is she going.
A:''ok par kahan jana hain.''
R:''hum apnein ghar ja rahein hain.''
She said and that makes armaan shocked to the core. She is leaving him.
A:''par ghar kyun riddhima? Kisi ne kuch keh diya hain kya apse?''
He never knew when words escaped from his mouth. Riddhima who has start making coffee looked at him clearly shocked. She did not get why he thought like that. And secondly did she already matters to him that her absence matter to him.
A:''riddhima please bat kya hain?''
He asked again as she did not reply to him and then riddhima's trance breaks and she looked at him.
R:''umm armaan aisi koi bat nahin hain. Darasal hum ghar apnein pag fere ki rasam ke liyye ja rahein hain. Apko kal ana hain humein lene.''
She gives him all the details and clearing his confusion.
A:''oh ok mujhe laga ki. Riddhima ap coffee bana lijiye, main fresh hokar ata hun.''
He moved from there as he feels embarrassed. Riddhima is in her own thoughts with his behave and all. But shrugging her thoughts away, she poured his cup of coffee. The time she makes his and her coffee armaan comes after getting freshen up.
R:''coffee armaan.''
She said with a small smile and forwarded him his cup of coffee. Armaan takes that while thanking her.
A:''thank you riddhima. Ap bhi lijiye na.''
R:''ji''
She said and they have their coffees in silence. After few minutes riddhima walks downstairs and finds everyone sitting in the living room. Seeing her prerna dadi called her.
Pr:''rhea beta ap ready ho gayi?'
She asked her and riddhima nodded her head while replying.
R:''ji dadi ma.''
An:''rhea yahan baithye ab apki chot kaisi hain beta.''
He asked as he is really tensed for her, riddhima smiled at his concern.
R:''hum bilkul thek hain dadu ap chinta mat kijiye.''
She said as she settled beside him as per his request.
K:'gud acha rhea yeh armaan nahin utha kya abhi tak''
R:''nahin papa uth gaye hain.''
She replied as karan asked her question, then nandini comes and
Na:''ma breakfast lag gayya hain sab breakfast kar len. Fir rhea ko jana hain pag fere ke liyye.''
Pr:''bilkul nandini. Chaliye ram bhai sa priya, shashank beta samriti bahu sab aao.''
She called everyone and they all nodded and walked to dining area.
Su:''ap log chaliye main tou aj apnein jeeju ke sath breakfast karunga.''
He said making everyone smiled and riddhima looked at her brother. As he gives her a big smile. Then rahul who is all set to join everyone teased him.
Ra:''tab tou sujal bhai apko bahut inteejar karna padega. Ammy bhai tou lagta hain bhabhi ko abhi se miss kar rahein hain, tou unhein bye bolna na pade. Isliyye neeche hi nahin aa rahein hain.''
He said in his childish fun and teased riddhima. Everyone smiled seeing the light air in atmosphere while riddhims just lowered her eye lids not knowing what to say. So she just moved towards dining table.
R:''main abhi ayi.''
She just runs making an excuse and everyone smiled. They all prayed in their hearts for their children to bloom Love in their life. Soon armaan walks downstairs as he finds his all family settled on their chairs having their breakfast. Seeing him coming rahul commented.
Ra:''hey bhai.''
A:''hey rahul. Good morning sujal Pranam dadu-dadi ma.mumma papa''
He said wishing everyone and takes blessings of all the elders. Riddhima is little bit surprised seeing him like that. Though she knows Yuvraj Armaan Mallik is most well mannered and well behaved guy. But the Armaan Mallik she knows she did not expect that from him. But nevertheless she feels so good seeing him doing that. Then he settled on his chair, that is beside her.
Ra:''bhai acha hua ap aa gayye you know sujal bhai is waiting for you.''
He said and armaan smiled and looked at his friend who now starts his breakfast with him.
A:''why sujal, tujhe shuru karna chahiye tha na.''
He said and sujal is about to reply when rahul speaks up.
Ra:''arey bhai humein tou kitna kaha par bhai ne kaha ki unhein apnein jeeju ke saath breakfast karna hain.''
He said and armaan looked at his best buddy. Sujal gives him warm smile, he knows sujal actually gives his heart beat to HIM.
A:''sujal yar tu bhi na. Kuch nahin badla hain humare beech mein, tu mera best friend pehle hain baki sab bad mein.''
He said as he holds takes his hand in his and sujal gives him a smile.
Su:''I know armaan, par ab tu meri behen ka husband bhi hain. Tou mere bhi kuch haq hain apnein jeeju ke saath.''
He said winking at him and armaan smiled.
A:''jitnein bhi haq jama le bas is naye rishte mein humari dosti nahin khone dena.''
He said and sujal shakes his head saying he will never do that. Everyone loved the bonding while Mrs. Riddhima Mallik looked at them. Her heart gets calmness as she knows with this relation ship she actually puts many relations on stake yet saved them. And she knows how much his best friend meant to his sujal bhai, and she thanked god and her husband for letting their friendship like that, the way they usually shared. Then they have and joyous breakfast with rahul cracking jokes and elders too pulling their legs.
Ra:''acha anurah ab humein bhi niklane ki permission de.''
He said as they finished the breakfast and anurag nodded.
Pr:''bilkul bhai sa rhea beta ap apna saman le aao.''
Na:''maani go help her.''
They instructed as riddhima moved to upstairs to their room. Armaan nodded and followed her. Riddhima comes in their room and grabbed her small bag that she packed. Armaan takes it from her saying.
A:''mujhe dijiye riddhima apki chot par strain padega.''
He said and riddhima smiled at him. Then she picked her clutch and
A:''le liyya sab apnein?''
R:''ji.''
A:''apni medicines li?''
He asked and riddhima bites her tongue as she forgot them. Armaan shakes his head as her expressions say everything.
A:''ap bhi na yeh lijiye. Inhein apnein clutch mein rakhiye aur time par lijiyega.''
He said handling her medicines and ointment. Riddhima took and stuff in her clutch. Then she is about to walk saying
R:''chalein.''
Armaan nodded then called her.
A:''riddhima suniye.''
Riddhima turned to him and
R:''ji.''
A;''yeh credit card riddhima. This debit card and riddhima yeh some cash.''
He said as he placed two cards and one full pack of thousand rupees in front of her.
R:''lekin yeh kyun hum inka kya karenge.''
She asked as she is surprised and armaan puts them on her palm.
A:''riddhima ap humari shadi ke bad pehli bar ghar ja rahi hain. Main janta hun humari shadi normal circumstances tou mein nahin hui. Aur fir ap ek Rajkumari hain, vahan ke log bhi apni Rajkumari se kuch expectation hongi. Aur ab shadi ke bad tou apse milne ka unhein aur intejar hoga. Tou gifts aur sab tou banta hain. Mujhe galat mat samjhiye, main janta hun apke pas paise honge surely. After all you are one independent woman. Par riddhima ab main apka pati hun, tou yeh mera haq aur zimevari donow banti hain ki apki zaruratun ka khayal rakhun.''
He said looking at her and riddhima looked at him.
R:''par armaan iski sachi mein zarurat nahin hain.''
She said as she did not know to take it or not.
A:''nahin riddhima please trust me. Aur zarurat nahin bhi hain tou please le lijiye mere liyye hi sahi.''
As he added riddhima looked in his deep blue eyes. And she just has no reason to say no. Quietly she takes the cards and money from him and puts it in her clutch.
A:''thank you.''
Upcoming Scene
