Venue :-
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When Armaan and Riddhima came down from the stage after their performance girls surrounded armaan like flies surround the food to meet and talk to him.
Armaan caught hold riddhima's hand tightly so that she will not get lost in the crowd.
Gang chuckles at them watching how much Armaan is struggling to come out from his female following crowd. Interns watches them surprised to see crowd behaving as if they have seen some movie hero.
" You are Dr. Love na...... Oh my God! I love you.....I love you." Saying this a girl hugs armaan and everyone gasps.
Armaan eyes widened and pushes away the girl.
" Excuse me......" He says and looks at riddhima who will be throwing daggers at him with her eyes angrily.
Armaan gulps in fear.
" It's ok Dr. Armaan, you can meet your fans and enjoy yourself.....I will be going......... Excuse me ....." She says and excuses herself from there leaving Armaan's grip.
" Riddhima......" Armaan shouts.
But she walks fast towards the Green room.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
On her way to her room she collides with someone.
" I am sorry......" Saying this she looks up to get shocked.
She looks at the person in front of her in shock not knowing how to react .
She hasn't seen him from 2 months.
She hasn't talked to him since they got divorced.
She hasn't met him since she has gone to Lonavla.
" Sid......" She whispers.
" Hello Riddhima...... How are you ?" Sid asks smiling at her.
" I. I am fine.....how are you ?" She stutters nervously.
" I am good......." He says.
They stood there in silence for sometime.
" Umm.....your performance was great." He breaks the silence.
" Ha....umm....yeah....thanks." she smiles.
" Actually every performance I watched was good but yours was extraordinary." He says smiling.
" Oh ! You watched all the dances ?" She asks.
" Yeah "
" When did you come ?"
" Just before event has started. Me ,JP and jiggy have come together."
" Oh! Nice ! Where are they ?"
" They just went inside, I was also going but just then you collided with me."
" Yeah.....I am sorry. "
" It's ok....."
Again they fall into awkward silence.
" Come you should have dinner." Riddhima breaks silence and turns to move.
" Riddhima....." Sid calls her.
" Ha " she says turning.
" Did you tell him ?"
" Huh ?"
" Did you tell Armaan ?"
" What? About divorce ?"
" Yes "
" Ha actually he came to know by himself and bursted on me for not saying to him." She says chuckling.
" And?"
" And what Sid ?"
" Did you tell about your feelings to armaan?"
Riddhima's snaps her head towards Sid who will be smiling at her.
She looks down and shakes her head in no.
He sighs.
" What are you waiting for Riddhima?"
"....."
" Come on Riddhima......it's been 2 years since you both got separated, it's been more than 6 months since Armaan had left and it's been 2 months since you have got divorced....... I don't understand what are you waiting for?"
Riddhima watches at him agape.
" Look riddhima I know.....you must be thinking that why am I saying such things to you but trust me the truth is that I am also always been one of them who wanted armaan and riddhima to be together back again."
He finishes and she looks at him surprised at him.
" Do you remember ? I promised that day I will reunite you two no matter what happens in panchgani. I don't when and how I became selfish and forgot my promise. I came between you two and became the reason of your separation again. I am so sorry Riddhima......hope you will forgive me."
" No Sid, you are not selfish.....you are also human,you also have feelings, you did what a normal person would do and you didn't do anything wrong to forgive you. You are a wonderful person with a great heart and that heart belongs to someone special and not for a girl like me whose heart belongs to someone else. You deserve a better girl than me and I am 100% sure that you will get that special girl who will love you with her life and whom you will love back."
Riddhima says everything genuinely from her heart smiling at him keeping her hand on his shoulder. Sid was overwhelmed for what Riddhima said and what she said was truth that someone special is waiting for him there to love him.
Riddhima smiles at him and he grins back widely.
Riddhima hugs Sid and he hugs her back.
" All the best." Riddhima says forwarding her hand.
" Thanks and same to you as you need to confess your feelings to armaan."
He says shaking her hand.
Riddhima blushes and nods her head.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Armaan escapes the crowd and comes out successfully. He goes in search of riddhima but gets interrupted by Shashank who will be introducing armaan to some senior doctors. Armaan talks to them for some time and excuses himself from there to search riddhima.
He was again interrupted by his stupid friends who will be asking him to eat with them. He escapes them also and continues to find riddhima.
He stops at a place where he saw back of riddhima and he goes towards her grinning but stops in his tracks when he saw with whom she is talking.
Fear engulfed him as he doesn't know why. He wonders What they must be talking that to smiling.
Armaan in fear speaks with his inner voice.
I cannot lose her again.
Who is saying you are losing her now?
Seeing them together reminds me of those awful days.
You forgot that they are divorced now.....you dumbhead.
Of course not......but.....
It's just a friendly encounter armaan relax.
Why they are smiling and talking ?
Of course they will ,as they are friends now.
I don't like to see them like this.
Someone is jealous......
Jealous and me...... no way.........
Oh sure......
Shut up.
Armaan looks at them annoyingly.
He frowns when riddhima puts her arm on Sid's shoulder.
Armaan's jealousy reached heights when he saw them both hugging.
His blood boils looking at them and storms off from there.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Riddhima freshens up and comes out of the Green room.
She looks for armaan here and there.
She spots Rahul and Atul talking to each other worriedly and goes to them.
" Guys what happened? Where is Armaan?"
" Ridz ,what happened to armaan ?"
Atul asks her in return.
" What do you mean by what happened to armaan? Is everything ok?" She asks panicked.
" You also don't know ." Atul sighs.
" Atul tell me clearly ,what happened to him?" She is on verge of tears.
" Riddhima relax nothing happened. It's just that armaan is acting all grumpy and furious when we asked him to come for dinner." Rahul calms her.
" Oh ,but why ?"
" We don't know. When we asked him ,he said that he is not hungry and said to leave him alone." Rahul says to her.
Riddhima frowns.
" Ridz ,he was looking angry and sad at the same time." Atul finishes.
" Where is he ?"
They show them the room to riddhima while she goes inside and they wait outside.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Riddhima bites her lip to stop herself from laughing loud seeing the sight in front of her.
Armaan was sitting on the couch pouting,looking down, crossing his legs in Indian style exactly like a kid whose favorite toy is stolen.
Riddhima stiffles her giggle and slowly moves towards armaan.
She goes and stands in front of him. Armaan turns to other direction and Riddhima again goes and stands infront of him which made him turn again.
Riddhima sighs and kneels in front of him keeping her hands on his hands which are on his lap.
" Armaan....."
"....."
" Armaan !" She calls again.
He looks up.
" Armaan khaana khaaya? "
He nods his head in no.
"Toh Chalo ,khaana khaathe hain."
" Nahi."
" Kyun ?"
" Mujhe bhook nahi hai."
Armaan pouts angrily.
" Armaan Kya hua hai ?"
" Yeh tum pooch rahi ho ki Kya hua hai, jaise ki tum kuch nahi jaanthe ho."
" Kya jaanthi Hoon Mein?" Riddhima asks confused.
" Of course tumhe kaise pata hoga,tum toh busy thi na uske saath baatein karte hue."
Armaan shrugs and she is confused.
" Armaan seedha seedha bataao na Kya baat hai?"
" Kuch nahi hai."
He pouts and she sighs.
" Armaan bataao Kya baat hai? Tum aise mooh phulaake kyun baito ho?"
" Main mooh phulaake baita Hoon?" He asks and she nods frowning.
" Toh jaao mujh se kyun baat Kar rahe ho.....jaake apne uss Sid se bait ke khaana khaao Jo huss huss ke baat Kar Raha tha." He says angrily.
Riddhima just sits there blinking her eyes at him to understand what he was saying. When she understood she busts out laughing while armaan sits glaring at her.
" Riddhima ,have you gone mad ? Why are you laughing ? "
Armaan says glaring at her.
" Stop laughing riddhima ! "
She tries to stop her laugh but she couldn't and Armaan just stares at her. His lips also twitch upwards to smile but composes himself and she also stops laughing looking at his glaring.
" Ab main samjhi Hoon ,tum aise mooh phulaake kyun baite ho." Riddhima says to him grinning widely.
" Kyun ?" He asks raising his brows.
She stands from her knees and sits beside him on the couch.
" JALAN " she says grinning resting her head back and looking at him.
" What ?" He yells.
" Yes ! Dr. Armaan Mallik is jealous !"
She exclaims.
" Me and jealous.....no way......" Armaan denies waving his hand.
" Aweeee......you look so cute when you are jealous." Riddhima says pulling his cheeks.
" Riddhima ! I am not a kid ! Stop doing that !" Armaan says and shoves her hands away.
" Stop doing what ?" She asks innocently and again pinches his cheeks.
" Stop pinching my cheeks !" He yells again.
" No !" She says.
" Basket I am warning you ,stop otherwise " he warns her.....actually he tries.
" Otherwise ?" She raises her eyebrows.
He starts tickling her and she starts laughing loud catching her breath.
" Armaan ! Stop !"
She says between her laughs.
" Stop what ?" He asks innocently.
" Armaan.....stop......tickling...... me"
" Ok but on one condition....."
" What ?"
" Admit that you were jealous."
He smirks.
" What ? When was I jealous?" She asks him frowning.
" When all those girls surrounded me ,you were jealous right? "
" No ! " she looks away.
" Oh ! That's why you stormed away angrily from there." He says smirking.
" No " she glares at him.
He starts tickling her again .
" Ok.ok.... I was jealous.....ok....
Now stop.......Please......" She says breathing heavily.
" Yes !!! " He stops tickling and grins at her.
" But that doesn't mean that you were not jealous, you were pouting like kid like someone had snatched away his toffee" she teases him getting up from couch and laughs at him.
" Hey! I was not pouting !" He defends.
" Yeah sure....." She says giggling.going towards the door.
" Basket.....wait " he says when she runs to the door.
Armaan and Riddhima both stops in their tracks when they saw everyone including gang,interns, Keerthi, Shubhankar, their parents, Sid, JP, jiggy and Nana watching them with amusement on their faces.
Armaan and Riddhima looks at them and then looks at each other . They look down turning red in embarrassment.
" We are getting late.....come let's go for dinner." Shashank says smiling.
Gang grins at them while all others still watch them in awe who turned red now.
They both nod their heads and goes with them still looking at the ground.
Sid never saw riddhima so happy, so alive ,so much glowing with happiness, so carefree, so naughty and so loving. He feels that they took the right decision of taking divorce seeing her happiness as she would be never like this with him.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Event was successfully finished and everyone are waiting for armaan to go to their homes. He was no where to be seen and they stood waiting outside the venue near the basket ball court.
Riddhima will be looking here and there for Armaan and suddenly wind blows making her hair float in air ,her heart beat races fast ,she shuts her eyes and feels armaan.
She opens her eyes and turns towards the basket ball court where she is feeling Armaan's presence.
" Armaan " she says and goes towards it.
" Where is he?" Where are you going?" Everyone asks her .
She just moves in that direction in a daze and everyone follows her.
Everyone means whole gang,interns,their parents,nana ,keerthi , Shubhankar and Sid.
Riddhima stops at one point and looks everywhere as there is just a faint light in the court.
Ru ru ru ruuuuu.......
Rurururu...........
Ru ru ru.....ru ru ru........
She stood rooted in her place when she heard that........
Everyone also heard but just looks what's happening.........
Riddhima turns around towards the sound with her heart racing.
A light lits up where there was a monitor placed.
There was some clicking sound and the monitor started.
A smile appears on her face when the video started with music.
That's the video of Armaan and Riddhima and their memories together from the past.
All of them watches curiously in awe.
Riddhima watches them tears.
Armaan comes out and stands beside the monitor.
He stood there looking at riddhima intently.
He takes out the Mike and starts singing the song for riddhima pouring his all pain,sorrow and love in it while pictures of them will be running in the monitor.
❤️Asmaani rang ho,
pyaar ki boondh ho,
roshni ho,
dhoop ho,
chahaton ki goonj ho
He stands where he is but riddhima moves towards him little.
aanchal mein hain dhanak chandni,
haathon mein woh chaand hai,
gairon se bhi hai waastha
apno mein pehchaan hai,
Riddhima cries keeping her hand on her mouth to stop sobbing.
ta ra ra rat ta ri ra[3],
tu zindagi.......
mera izhaar hai..
pyaar hi pyar hai,
yaaron ki yaar hai,
tu zindagi ......
ta ra ra rat ta ri ra[3],
tu zindagi
tujhse main kya kahoon
tu hi mera sukoon,
sang tere rahoon,
tu zindagi!!!!! ❤️
By the end of the song tears will be flowing like waterfalls from riddhima's eyes.
She doesn't care to wipe the tears but just stood there looking at her life in front of her intently.
Everyone stood there like statue looking at the pictures in the background and hearing the song from armaan.
All the lights in the court gets on and then everyone got snapped out from their trance of shock and surprise.
Then they saw whole court was decorated beautifully with red balloons,red roses and with photographs of riddhima everywhere.
Everyone stood stunned there in awestruck looking at everything armaan had done for riddhima.
Armaan and Riddhima stood there just staring at each other speaking volumes with their eyes.
Armaan turns to monitor to change something.
Riddhima forwards her hand towards nana who is holding a remote and Mike.
Nana gives Mike to riddhima while armaan will be turned with his back facing riddhima.
❤️Asmaani rang Ho.......
Riddhima sings and Armaan stops in his tracks stunned and turns around.
Pyaar ki boondh ho.......
Everyone looks at her surprised.
Riddhima continues to sing.
Asmaani rang ho,
pyaar ki boondh ho,
Riddhima takes slow steps towards armaan while singing.
roshni ka aang ho
mein tere dhoop hu
Armaan looks at her with tears.
tujh se hi hai meri bandagi
tujh se hi hai meri jaan.......
She smiles with tears and stops in front of him.
saaya tera mera aashiyaan
tu mera armaan hai......
She sings holding his cheek with her left palm with tears flowing continuously.
la ra la ra la ra (3) tu zindagi
Armaan cries holding her palm on his cheek with his palm.
mera izhaar tu
mera iqraar tu
pyaar hi pyaar tu....tu zindagi
She sings still holding his cheek smiling.
ta ra ra rat ta ri ra[3], tu zindagi
They move close to each other .
Armaan cups both her cheeks with his palm.
Tujh se mein Kya kahoon.....
Armaan sings crying cupping her cheeks.
Mujh se kuch na kaho......
Riddhima sings crying cupping his cheeks.
Sang Tere rahoon Zindagiiiiii......❤️
Armaan and Riddhima both sing together the last line looking into each other's eyes with a smile.
They couldn't hold anymore ,both fell into each other's arms crying and hugs tightly as their life depended on it.
They cry together holding each other in their arms.
Riddhima cries vigourously in his arms.
Armaan too cries so much hugging her tightly like if he leaves she will disappear.
Everyone cries there who are watching them crying .
They cry ,cry and cry. They don't know from where these tears are coming as they don't stop flowing.
Armaan pulls away from hug and kisses all over her face. He kisses her cheeks,her nose, her eyes drinking her tears away,her chin.
Riddhima just enjoys being in his arms after long time and also enjoys his kisses closing her eyes.
He kisses her forehead cupping her cheeks.
She wipes his tears with her palms ,kisses his cheeks and kisses his forehead cupping his cheeks.
Armaan felt bliss in her arms and her kisses are bonus to it.
Ishq mein diwaangi ki.....
Hadh see guzar jaaun.....
He again kisses her forehead and hugs her again tightly in fear of losing her again.
Tere pyaar mein aake mein.....
Jeekar mein mar jaaun.....
She understood his fear and hugs back him tightly rubbing his back assuring that she is not going anywhere.
They both pull away and look at each other intensely.
Ishq mein jalthe hai hum raat din.....
Haaa.....yeh Mera Dil na maane Tere bin....Tere bin.......
They both forgot entirely that there are people watching them.
Armaan was about say something but Riddhima stops him placing her finger on his lips.
" Before you say anything.....I want to say something......"
Riddhima says nervously and Armaan nods confused.
" You deserve much more better girl than me."
She says looking down and Armaan smiles understanding that there are still some insecurities in her and he thinks it's the time he should remove them away from her little mind.
" But I want you because you are not better but best for me."
He says honestly smiling at her and Riddhima snaps her head up to look at him.
" I made you cry,I gave you pain,I have hurted you so much......I don't deserve you." She says with tears looking away.
" I also made you cry ,I also gave you pain and I also have hurted you......I guess we are even now." He says grinning and continues when she glares at him.
" But what we suffered it's not because of each other it's because of our love we have for each other and so we deserve each other." He says sincerely which makes her heart swell with love.
" I am a divorcee....." She says softly looking at him.
" I don't care....." He repiles immediately.
" But armaan you can get any girl you want who can love you so much." She says and when she said her heart aches with pain.
" I know I can get any girl I want......but I want you......and nobody can love me more than you."
He says smiling at her wiping her tears and his words soothes her pain.
" Why armaan ? Why ?" She asks with tears .
Armaan frowns confused.
" Why do you love me so much armaan ? Why ?" She asks him holding his shirt tightly in her hands.
Armaan just looks at her.
" I hate you " she says.
" I hate you that you love me so much."
Armaan will be just looking at her seriously with love.
" Why did you left me and went far away from me Armaan?"
She continues crying.
" I hate you armaan ,I hate you......" She sobs onto his chest.
" Why did you left me armaan ? Why ?" She asks sobbing into his chest.
He let her cry because she had to let out all those pain,tears, feelings , sorrows and worries which she held them for 2 years.
" I hate you "
" I hate you "
She says sobbing.
" But I love you."
He says.
She froze.
Everyone there froze.
She looks up at him with red puff eyes.
" I hate you Armaan." She whispers.
" But I love you Riddhima." He whispers.
" I hate you Armaan."
She says loudly this time.
" I Love you Riddhima."
" I hate you."
" I Love you Riddhima."
She pauses and looks at him.
" I love you."
Riddhima says.
Armaan froze.
Riddhima says finally.
Armaan smiles with tears.
He had heard those words from her after 2 years.
Riddhima said I love you.....yes !!!
Finally she confessed her love for me.
I am the most happiest man alive on the earth now.
" I love you Armaan."
She say loudly to bring him out of his trance.
He smiles.
" I love you too basket.....I love you so much."
He says smiling with tears.
She also smiles widely at him and hugs him tightly.
Haaye rabba..... tu hi Meri jaan..... tu hi jaha......
They both will be chanting I love you and I love you to each other while hugging and crying.
Tu hi Meri manzil.....Tere ishq mein qurbaan.......
" Bas bas.....ab Rona nahi.....itne rothe kyun ho yaar tum?" He asks her wiping her tears.
" Toh tum mujhe itna rulaate kyun ho?" She asks him mock glaring at him.
" Sorry......" He says holding his ears.
She smiles at his antics.
She removes his hands from his ears and hugs him again tightly to make sure that this is not a dream.
Armaan hugs her back tightly placing kisses on her head to assure her that he will be there for her from now on, in future and forever.
