Mere Paas Raho (Stay with me)

Part 12

In Sydney

Riddhima was sitting in her room and getting ready for her engagement. She did not know if she was ready for this or not. Taj Dadaji wanted to make it as private as possible. He did not want the world to know anything about this. So Omkara and Riddhima agreed to this idea. Riddhima could never pay them off. They have helped her so much in the past 6 years. Now Riddhima is the secretary of Omkara and she handles the business with him. The Oberoi business was worldwide famous, and everyone wanted to get in contract with them.

Riddhima had not told them anything about Armaan, so they did not know that Riddhima was already married. But Riddhima did not accepted that marriage, because she was hardly married for one day, when the truth came out. She did not even share a bed with him. And after all what he has done, she would never accept him or get back to him. Never ever again. She was actually looking forward to a blissful life with Omkara. But before that, she has to tell Omkara the truth. She doesnt want to start a new life based on a lie.

Riddhima was so sure, that she wanted to move on, that she totally neglected her heart pain. Her heart was literally bleeding, but she focused to ignore the feeling. She had already made up her mind, and nothing would change that. She was looking forward to a new future, a bright future. With not even Armaans shade in it. She was so lost in her thoughts, that she did not saw Omkara sneaking into her room and looking at her lovingly. Only his poet brought her out of her thoughts.

O: Dil ki hasrat zuban par aane lagi

Tumko dekha aur zindagi muskurane lagi

Yeh meri dosti ki intiha thi ya meri chahat

Ab har surat me surat teri nazar aane lagi

Riddhima looked up to him, and saw him smiling at her. He was totally lost in her. Riddhima looked down and stood up. she came face to face with him.

R: Omkara, tum yaha.

he didnt say anything, he just moved forward to her, till he was standing just in front of her. He put her finger under her chin and made her look up into his eyes.

O: Tum bohot khubroorat lag rahi ho Riddhima. me to har pal us Khuda ka shukar Ada karta hu, ke usne mujhe tumse milwaya, tumher meri zindagi ka hissa banaya, tumhe meri dost banaya, aur ab meri mangetar, aur bohot jald meri biwi.

riddhima just smiled to him. Omkara moved forward and kissed her forehead. he was about to leave when Riddhima held his hand. Omkara looked at her confused.

R: Thank you Omkara. For everything.

O: Lekin Riddhima,

R: Nahi, please mujhe bolne do, agar me aaj nahi boli, to phir shayad me kabhi nahi bol paungi.

Omkara signed her to move on.

R: Me chahti hu ke hum dono ka Rishta truth ke base pe shuru ho. Tum mujhe bohot aache lagte ho Omkara aur tum ek bohot aache ladke ho. Isliye tumhe meri sachai jaane ka haq hai.

Riddhima couldnt face him, so she turned around and looked everywhere but to him. Omkara got curious and wanted to know, what riddhima was trying to say.

R: 6 saal pehle mene ek ladke se bohot Mohabbat ki. Aur me pagal thi, yeh sooch ke, ke wo bhi mujhse Mohabbat karta hoga. Aur out of instinct mene us se shaadi kar li. Ghar se bhag ke, sab se chup ke. Kisi ko bhi is shaadi ke bare me nahi pata. Lekin pata chala, ke usne sirf mera istemal kiya. Usne mujhe dhoka diya Omkara. Usne mujhse kabhi Mohabbat hi nahi ki. Usko sirf meri property se matlab tha. Mera pura name Riddhima Gupta hai. Aur usko sirf meri property chahyie thi, aur wo kisi badle ke liye aaya tha.
