Love Endures All

Part 5 - The Sign Practice

After spending quality amounts with them Padma went back to her home whereas Ridhima tried to talk to Armaan about his affection to Padma, though she knows things still she wants him to talk it out. 

 But before Ridhima can say anything to him he asked her "Padma Maa Kab aayegi dubara" he asked with longing in his eyes, when Ridhima hear him saying Padma Maa She was so happy yet sentimental at it that she can't hold her tears back. Already his situation has broken her and these little moments that she is getting were making her cry her eyes out easily.

"Kya kaha tumne Armaan" Armaan getting scared said "Vo...Vo Padma Aunty phir kab aaayengi" Ridhima saw him getting scared a bit while saying it so she moved towards him, he moved a step back but Ridhima moved her hand up to caress his cheek but Armaan felt afraid but when he saw her not moving or hitting him he looked at her to see her smilingly calling him nodding her head, he moved ahead slowly. "Armaan tum dar kyun rahe ho." She asked him what if she knows the answer she wants to hear it from him. "Vo mein ne tum.. Tumhari mom ko... ko Maa bola toh."

"Toh... Toh Kya hua" She asked. Shaking his head in no he said "Nahi... tumhe bura laga" Armaan asked still scared of it but soon his fear vanishes with Ridhima's reply "Bilkul nahi... Maa toh Maa hoti hain na. Aur Maa ko Maa hi toh bulate hain." Ridhima assured him that she is not at all angry with him calling her Mother as Maa.

Nodding enthusiastically to her reply he again asked "Toh batao na Maa phir kab aayengi. Mera ko khelna hain unke sath aur phir bahut sari kahani bhi sunni hain. Aur phir unki Laps pe sir rakhe bhi sona hain... aur phir mein....." but he was cut by Ridhima "Bus Bus.... Aram se Armaan." He pouted seeing her stopping him from speaking, so he turns his back to her pouting making angry face but Ridhima smiled at him. "Acha ek kaam karte hain"

Still mad at her for stopping him, he asked still giving her his back.

"Kya"

"Next Time jab Mom aayengi na Toh hum unhe yahin rokh lenge" she suggested to him, he turns around hearing such a great idea from his dost. Ridhima raised her eyebrows asking him how was her idea when Armaan asked excitedly "Sachi. Vo Rukh Jayenge?"

"Kyun nahi rukhengi Jab unka beta unhe rokega toh vo pakka rukh jayengi." Ridhima said pointing her finger towards him. He first looks at himself as she was pointing at him then back at Ridhima getting all happily excited about it.

Lunch

Ridhima Gave Armaan his medicine which he hates to have it even after creating fuss he wasn't getting rid of those medicines, at last, he has to have them she Ridhima said "Armaan If you won't have these then Mein Mom ko nahi bulaungi phir"

"Nahi mein kha lunnga... Par tum Maa ko bulaogi na phir se." Armaan asked taking medicine from her not wanting to not meet Padma.

Ridhima too nodded her head assuring him she will call her again.

Armaan sat down on the couch behind then later slide down on the floor while Ridhima was sat on the sofa beside him. Armaan rests his head on her laps, Ridhima kept her one hand on his arms around her laps and other in his hairs. "Meri Mom toh mera se milne bhi nahi aati." Armaan suddenly said it gain Ridhima's full attention to his words.

"Meri mom toh pata nahi kahan hain. Unhe toh meri fikar bhi nahi hain. Kabhi mera ko kuch bana ke nahi khilati, kabhi bhi mujhe stories nahi sunati. Mujhse milne bhi nahi aati, kabhi mujhe pyaar bhi nahi karti" Armaan spoke all this still resting his head on her laps. "Mein itna bura hun kya....?" He asked her looking at her with tears flowing from his eyes.
