Mere Paas Raho (Stay with me)

Part 20 - Last Part

Finally Armaan and Riddhima were back. Armaan did not inform anyone of their return, he wanted to surprise everyone. All the while Riddima was super duper nervous. Armaan held her very tightly and close to himself.

R: Armaan, agar Rahul bhai ne mujhe maaf nahi kiya to?

A: Wo tumhara bhai hai Riddhima, wo tumhe zaroor maaf kar dega. He loves you a lot.

R: pata nahi Armaan, lekin mujhe unko face karne ki himmat nahi ho rahi.

A tear escaped her eyes. Armaan looked deep into her eyes and wipped her tears away.

A: Jo kuch bhi ho Riddhima, bas tum itna yaad rakhna, ke me hamesha tumhare peeche khada hu.

Riddhima shook her head, then she put her hands on his.

R: mere peeche nahi, hamesha mere saath.

Then they both moved back home. As soon as the ring the bell, riddhima got super nervous. As armaan expected, Muskaan opened the door. At first she was happy to see Armaan, but then suddenly her smile vanished as she saw Riddhima standing next to Armaan. Her eyes got wide with shock. She called out for Rahul.

M: RRRaahRahullll

Hearing Muskaan shout, Rahul panicked and run down, only to see his sister standing infornt of him afte whole six years.

R: Riddhima

Ri: Bhai

Soon the whole family arrived at the hall. Rahul moved over to Riddhima and took her in a rib crushing hug. He hugged her so thightly that Riddhima almost had difficulties to breath.

Ri: bhai

R: tu kaha chali gayi thi riddhima, tujhe pata hai hum sab kitne darr gaye the.

Ri: I am sorry bhai, lekin us waqt

R: shhhhh. Sab baate bad me, pehle tu ander chal. Kuch khaya bhi hai ke nahi, itni kamzoor lag rahi hai tu.

Rahul turned around to move inside with riddhima, but Riddhima hold his hands and made him stand right on his place. Rahul turned aournd and looked into her concernd face. He came near her and cupped her face and wipped her falling tears.

Ri: I am sorry bhai, mene bohot dard diya na aapko. bohot takleef di na aapko.

R: nahi riddhima

Ri: nahi bhai, yehi saach hai. Me ek aachi behen nahi ban payi. Mujhe aise aapko chod ken ahi jaana chahiye tha. Mujhe aapse baat karni chahiye thi. Mujhe aapko sab kuch bata dena chaiye tha.

R: Riddhima, mera baccha. Teri koi galti nahi hai, kahi na kahi mene bhi tujhe us waqt neglect kiya tha. Shhh. Ab jo hua so ho gaya, ab hum sab ek new start karenge apni zindagi ki. Armaan ne mujhe saari saachai bata di thi.

In that moment Atul came infornt of Riddhima and put his hands together.

At: I am sorry bhabi, six years pehle mene aap ko mara tha. Mujhe bhai ne mana kiya tha, lekin us waqt shayad me bohot gusse me tha. isliye itna bada gunah kar diya.

R: nahi Atul, its okee. tumne mujhe maara, to mene bhi tumhe mara tha, remember.

At: hahah yess bhabi, me kaise bhul sakta. Once again I am sorry bhabi.

Riddhima smiled at him. Then she got to know Megha and an understanding was built between them instantly. Riddhima smiled because all the differences were cleard, but when she looked back at Armaan, she saw Muskaan standing in an cornor, silently crying. Riddhimas heart clenched in pain. she wipped her tears and moved over to Muskaan. Muskaan saw her coming and just left from there, which hurted Riddhima a lot. Afterall Muskaan was even till now is her best friend.
