Part.12

Ridhima's pagphere rasam was done with all her friends teasing her spending their day with her and keerti at home. It was almost 7 Pm when armaan came to her house to take her with him to malik house. All the girls have made dinners helping keerti in cooking. Armaan was made to settle down for some time with all of them for having dinner then only he will be able to take ridhima back with him.

After having dinner all of them left from gupta house after seeing off ridhima armaan. It was nearly 10 when both of them return home. Nandani karan both have been gone to their room by then. Armaan ridhima both too moved towards their room for changing. After changing armaan asked her if she want to have coffee. Getting a positive response from her armaan was about to move out of the room for getting coffee when ridhima stopped him "Armaan aap rukiye mein laati hun" armaan looked at her saying "it's okay I know how to make coffee. Achi coffee pilaunga Buri nahi" armaan said with a hint of humor in his words making her smile. She moved towards him while tying her hairs in pony. "Vo toh theek hain par you see mein bhi itni buri coffee nahi banati hun" ridhima matched his tune of humor.

Armaan raise his hand in defeat letting ridhima go to fetch coffee for themselves. Once ridhima came with 2 cups of coffee in her hand she asked if they can sit on terrace for some time while having coffee. Armaan just made a sign saying "After you" both of them climbed stairs reaching terrace both of them walked till boundary standing there with boundary's support staring at the stars in the sky...

Armaan while sipping coffee looked at ridhima moving his gaze from star above their head.

He saw her looking intensely in sky as if searching something in them. "Itni dhayan se kya dekh rahi ho" ridhima heard him saying "Kuch nahi bus kuch dhundne ki koshish kar rahi thi". "Kya dhund rahi ho in sitaro mein" hearing him questioning her ridhima once looked at him then staring back in the sky she spoke "Khete hain ki jo humein chod ke chal jata hain vo jaa ke sitara ban jata hain bus kuch apno ko dhondne ki koshish kar rahi hun"

Armaan said looking at her "aapno ko aasmaan mein nahi balki apne aas pass dhunda jata hain ridhima. Janta hun jinhe hum ko dete hain unhe hum upar aasmaan mein dhundte hain par sirf unhe jinhe hum kho dete hain. Par kuch aapne wahan aasmaan mein nahi balki hamare sath hote hain."

Ridhima looked at him "Apne toh hamre sath hamesha hote hain.. Par jo apne humein chod kar chalegaye vo" ridhima asked him innocently "Unhe bus kabhi udas hoke nahi balki khushi se yaad karo. Jitni buri yaadein yaad karogi utna hi sad ho jaoge aur Jo pal abhi haath mein hain vo kho dogi ek aur buri yaad banane mein. Toh kyun Kisi bhi pal ko buri yaadon mein duba rahi ho. Jisko yaad karna hain uske sath bitaye hua achi baatein yaad karo vo pal mein tum vo yaad karogi vo pal bhi khushi se bhar jayega... toh kyun koi bhi kal gawana khushi ka.hmmm"

Ridhima stare at him for few seconds armaan notice her gaze fixed on him "Kya hua kya sochne lagi" ridhima came out of her revive "Hm.. kuch nahi bus aise hi" said ridhima while sipping her coffee. Armaan knew there is something that she wasn't uttering which she wanted to say few second back "Kya bol na chahati ho bolo."

Ridhima looked at him "Kya tumne kabhi kisi apne ko..." her words trimmed due to her voice stopped coming out from her mouth. Armaan gave a small laughter hearing her question "Sab ne kuch na kuch khoya hain ridhima... bus farak itna hai ki rishte aur situation badal jate hain"

Both of them didn't say anything for few minutes.

Ridhima tried to ask "Hmm... koun" armaan who was now staring in sky sipping his coffee spoke not moving his eyes "My Brother" hearing him she was left stunt.
