Mere Paas Raho (Stay with me)

Part 9

Everyone was waiting for Riddhima downstairs, including Armaan. He was curious, how Riddhima will handle this situation. Rahul sent Muskaan upstairs to get Riddhima, or help her in getting ready. Muskaan smiled and left from there to get Riddhima. As she got into her room, she saw Riddhima sitting on the bed. Riddhima looked up and saw Muskaan standing there.

M: Kya baat hai Ridz, tu abhi tak tayar nahi hui kya?

R: Nahi, me to tayar hu Muski, lekin

M: Lekin kya Ridz, sab theek to hai?

Riddhima didnt answered and just looked down. Muskaan got worried and moved to her and sat beside her.

M: Riddhima, me teri bes friend hu, so tu mujhe bata sakti hai ke kya problem hai. Mujhe fikar ho rahi hai Riddhima, kuch bol to sahi.

Still Riddhima didnt answered. She just showed her hand to Muskaan. Muskaan took her had and worry was written all over her face. Riddhima had a bandage on her ring finger and her tiny finger.

M: Ridz, yeh kaise hua?

R: Muski, wo me bangles pehn rahi thi, aur pata nahi mera khayal kaha chala gaya tha, aur mujhe chot lag gayi. Ab me neeche kya kahungi?

M: Tujhe dard to nahi ho raha na, agar ho raha hai to bata, me abhi doctor ko bulati hu.

R: nahi nahi, mujhe dard nahi ho raha. Saach me, me to bas is baat se darr rahi thi, ke me neech Sid ke samne kaise jaungi?

M: Tu iski fikar mat kar, chal ab chale. Sab intezaar kar rahe hai neeche.

Muskaan took Riddhimas hand and moved with her towards the door, but before they could move out Muskaan suddenly stopped and turned towards Riddhima.

M: Ridz tu saach me yeh Rishte se razi hai?

Riddhima didnt know how to answer this, so she just bent her head and looked down and mummed just a hmm. Muskaan had an all knowing look on her face, but she just left the topic, because she didnt want to upset her friend anymore. She moved with Riddhima down, and everyone was stunned seen Riddhima in this attire. Muskaan made her sit next to Sid. Armaan was standing just behind Sid. He couldnt keep his eyes off of Riddhima. Feeling Armaans intense gaze upon her, Riddhima couldnt hold back the blush. Now Shashank came forward and made the engagement announcement. Everyone was very happy about the news. But just Armaan was fuming in anger. he looked hurt and looked away. Riddhima noticed this and became sad.

Sh: Sid, chalo Riddhima beti ko ring pehnao.

S: jee dad.

Sid took the ring, and put forward his hand. waitng for Riddhima, to put her hand forward too. But Riddhima didnt, and just looked down. Rahul came forward and put his hand on Riddhimas shoulder.

Ra: kya hua Riddhima, dont be nervous. Apna haath aage kar, sid intezaar kar raha hai.

Ri: Bhai, wo

Ra: Sab theek hai na Riddhima?

Ri: Actually bhai, mewo

But before Riddhima could say anything, Muskaan came to her rescue.

M: Aree Rahul. Riddhima kabhi bangles nahi pehnti na, isliye aaj bangles pehnte waqt uski ring finger pe chot lag gayi. isliye wo sirf nervos ho rahi hai. Riddhima showed her hand to everyone. Armaan saw her hand and was worried like hell. He wanted to know is she was fine. He wanted to scold her for putting on bangles. He totally forgot about his warning to Riddhima. All he could think was her pain. Rahul smiled in relief and kissed Riddhimas forehead.

R: Riddhima tu bhi na, bilkul pagal hai. Chal koi nahi, Sid, tum Riddhima ke dusre haath me ring pehna do, aur jab chot theek ho jayegi, tab Riddhima ring apni is finger pe pehn legi. Theek hai. Aacha Ridz, tujhe dard to nahi ho raha na.
