A WEEK LATER
After talking Abhimaniyu, Ananya call for their family Pandit to final a date for Nikki and Abhi marriage... As Pandit gave three dates, they fixed the date which he gave after a year so Nikki also could enjoy her time with family and friends after she comes back after completing studies...
Ananya was talking to the Pandit while Riddhima was also with them, Billy and Armaan hasn't come from work yet while Nikki also has gone out with her friends... Abhimaniyu couldn't come either as he was busy with work and as he has no family, no one from his side was present there...
Ananya and Riddhima final the date after talking to each other, when the Pandit left after refreshment and thanking them for the hospitality... Ananya smile as she relax on the couch as finally, a date was fixed for her daughter marriage...
'Riddhima, tum Armaan koh phone lagao zara... Pucho dono baap bete kab tak ghar aayenge...' Ananya said closing her eyes as she relax because whole day she was in tension not knowing what would Pandit say about Nikki and Abhimaniyu marriage date...
'Mom, aap tohdi der araam karo... Baad mein hum dad aur Armaan koh bata denge kiya date nikla hai aur humne final kiya hai...' Riddhima said...
'Humne tik kiya na Riddhima, I mean Abhimaniyu ne toh kehdiya jo mujhe tik lage woh date choose karna lekin... Uske liye bohot important date hoga aur hum decide kare, mujhe tik nehi lag rahi...'Ananya said as she open her eyes and look towards Riddhima...
'Mom, woh aapko aur Dad koh bohot respect karte hai... Aur shayad uske ma baap hote toh bhi woh yehi kehte na mom... After all aise baatein bade decide karte hai, uske ma baap hote toh tab bhi shayad woh issi mein khush hoga jo date woh finalized kare... Aap kyun itna tension le rahe ho mom, jaisa humne chaaha hai tab ki date mili haina...' Riddhima said as she sit holding Ananya hand...
'Haan kyunki hum chahte hai Nikki padai ke baad apne ghar jaae shaadi karke, aur Abhimaniyu bhi yehi chahte hai uske padai pure hone ke baad woh Nikki se shaadi karenge...' Ananya said...
'Bas, aur yeh ek saal kaise beet jaaenge humein pata nehi chalega mom...' Riddhima said...
'Jaise humein abhi tak yakeen nehi huva kaise doh saal beet gaye tumhe is ghar mein aakhe...'Ananya said caring Riddhima hair lovingly...
Riddhima smile feeling Ananya love and care, she knows how much Ananya loves Nikki and Armaan, she loves her too... Ananya always proudly says how much happy she is to have Riddhima as their daughter in law and why not, Riddhima never give a chance them to complain about her for anything...
'Do saal, lekin aisa lagta hai tum hamesha se humhare zindagi mein ti Riddhima... Jaise tum humhare sabke zaruraton koh khayal rakhta hai, aisa lagta hai tum bahu nehi beti hai humhari... Aur hum bohot khushnaseeb hai humare ghar mein tum lakshmi banke aayi...' Ananya said...
'Mom, har ladki ki zimmedaari hota hai aur main bhi har ladki ke tarah wohi zimmedaari nibane ki koshish kar rahi hun...' Riddhima said...
'Aur bohot acche se niba bhi rahe ho tum Riddhima, jitna main tumhari tareef karun woh kam hai... Jitna main bhagwaan koh shukriya karun woh kam hai... Woh kehte haina, humne zindagi mein kuch accha kiya hoga issiliyeh humein tumhare jaise beti mili hai... Aur jiske saath tumhare jaise beti ho, woh bohot naseeb wale hote hai...' Ananya said...
'Bas bhi karo mom, aisa kuch nehi hai... Aap itne acche ho, koi aapke saath bura kaise kar sakte hai... Aur naseeb wali toh hum bhi hai, aapke jaisi itni caring aur pyar karne wali mom mila hai...'Riddhima said...
'Woh toh hai lekin tumse tohdi zyada naseeb hai meri... Itna accha ghar, pariwaar, pati aur bacchen mili hai mujhe... Ab bas ek pota ya poti miljae, life set hojaenge...' Ananya said...
Riddhima who was smiling all this time lower her head when she hear this as her smile vanished from her lips... Ananya who was closely looking towards her saw the change of Riddhima's expression, she had seen how Riddhima had been lost and also very disturb from last few months...
Ananya never chase this topic thinking it wouldn't be right to interfere her and Armaan personal space... Riddhima always used to come to her whenever she is upset with Armaan or worried for him but from past few months, Ananya has seen how Riddhima has make the distance and somehow today, she got the clue it must be related to this topic...
'Riddhima...' Ananya call to get her attention...
'Mom main Armaan koh call kardeti hun...' Riddhima said standing to leave but Ananya hold her hand and make her sit back...
'Bacchi, aap aise udaas kyun hogayi... Meri baat ka bura laga toh I m so...' Ananya was cut by Riddhima...
'Nehi mom, aapke baaton ka bura kyun lagega mujhe...' Riddhima said looking at her and trying to smile...
'Bacchi, mujhe nehi pata aapko kiya baatein pareshan kar rahi hai lekin aaj itna jaan gayi hun jo maine pota poti koh lekar kaha, woh sunke aapke muskuraahat chali gayi...' Ananya said...
'Mom woh...' Riddhima couldn't say anything as first time she was uncomfortable talking about something with Ananya...
'Dekh bacchi, yeh bas humhari khuwaish hai humhare ghar mein chote bacche ho lekin iska yeh matlab nehi humhari khushi ke liye aap bacche paida kare... Bacche kissi ki majboori nehi honi chahiyeh balki khushi hona chahiye, jeene ki wajahse hona chahiyeh... Aur yeh bhi zaruri nehi hai jab hum chahte hai woh ho kyunki bhagwaan ka marzi hota hai woh kab kisko baccha de... Maine aapko Anjul ke saath bohot baar dekha hai, aur main yeh maanti hun aap bacchon koh jitni acche se sambhalenge...
Lekin iska yeh matlab nehi hai abhi aap aur Armaan bacche ke liye plan kare... Yeh jo waqt aap log ke paas haina, woh dil se enjoy karo Riddhima kyunki bacche ke baad yeh waqt kabhi waapas nehi milenge...Aur kabhi udaas mat rehna bacche hone ke liye waqt lag rahi hai toh, kyunki yeh bhi ek imthihaan hai humhare liye... Jab hum is imthihaan se pass hogi na, phir dekhna itni khushi milenge hum use sambhal nehi paaenge...' Ananya said caring Riddhima hair...
