Part.25

Ridhima told them what happen with her after which she hear him calling out to her with small fearful whispering voice. She turn around to see him coming out of the room with the support of the wall to be on his legs. He was holding onto the wall with one hand for support to keep standing on his own legs while other hand that was on he left hanging in side rested on the door hem reaching near the door steps of the room in attempt to find ridhima.
He was about to lose his balance and fall hard on the floor when ridhima moved with big steps almost running Up to him to hold him before he made a fall meeting floor with more pain.

As ridhima stooped him from falling and supported him to stand back properly on his feet, he was holding her hands from elbow that were resting on his shoulder supporting his stand. Looking at her with fear and desperate eyes he voiced his fear and curiosity "Kahan Chali gai thi.... Mein itna dar gaya tha ki vo sab sapna tha... please stay with me, beside me. Don't leave me ridhima. Do go away leaving me behind anywhere please. I can't face anything all alone. Please stay with me."

Hearing him ridhima was once again dragged back to the pain she have forgotten a while back due to all the ragging anger that was built up in her earlier in day. But when she didn't answer him, it didn't bringing any bit peace to him but more of fear in his way. Not getting any words out of her he looked at the place where she was looking holding him securely and unknowingly holding him bit more tightly then before as if promising herself of protecting him from the bad world's eye.

But as armaan followed the direction of her eyes he saw two more people standing in front of him. They were already in their casuals dumping their FBI Jersey back in other room before having called ridhima so it never give armaan any idea about them being FBI. He remember those FBI agents that where part of his torture schemes Alex came into scene long back but she never came face to face with him and Shelby appeared helping to him in starting and it was year back that made him forget all but few people remain in his mind. But looking at them he saw something in their eyes that scare armaan causing him to step back in hiding behind ridhima holding her more tightly then he was holding. Now both of them have the tight grip on each other that wasn't hurting but comforting them. Ridhima who came out of her thoughts with armaan's shift behind her looked him tilting her head, armaan too looked down at her then raising his hand a bit he pointed his figure at Alex and Shelby with afraid face without any word. Ridhima for once look at his Aiming figure then turn back and try to hold armaan's shoulder to calm him down. But to her surprise armaan holds on to her hands before she can execute her thinking into action and started moving inside the room with one hand on wall again while other holding ridhima's wrist before they moved in totally armaan utter to made the other ladies hear "Don't take ridhima away from me. I won't let you take her again. I will not let you take her away. I will fight with you if you take her away. She won't go she is with her armaan now." Saying so he moved in closing the door behind his back he hugged ridhima close to himself closing his eyes for some minute as he wasn't willing to leave her and when he got tired of standing for long he rested his back on the door still hugging her. Ridhima was little surprise with armaan's reaction towards them, then with authority and braveness he spoke last words made her zone out for moment but she came back to reality when he hugged her tightly to himself, finding it difficult to express her happiness about him being taking a stand for her made her quoting that 'he will fight with them even when he can't stand properly with the pain' made her so happy that she too hugged him back with all the happiness in the world.

Ridhima's happiness can't be measured for the moment that she is living in. hugging him back resting her head on his heart with closed eyes her mind was running with thoughts "People keeps running in search of happiness forgetting that they just passed by every moment in their race that could have provided them lots of happiness. They forgot that no big things can provide that long lasting happiness which these small moments left behind them before vanishing away in thin air leaving thick air of happiness and healthy relation."
