Armaan didn't know where he was driving, he just wanted to get out from there. From his empty house. Everything was eating him up. All the happenings around him. Somewhere deep down his heart, he wanted to believe that Riddhima wasn't wrong, he really really hoped that Riddhima would no be as he believed her to be. He wished so much, that it was him, who was wrong from the beginning. But if its true, how will he face Riddhima then? How will he be able to face her again. He wont be even able to look in her eyes.

Out of all places, he was standing in front of the hospital again. He did not know why he was here again, but he just felt it. Like he belonged here. Not caring anymore, he moved inside, again to the room, where Riddhima was with her son. He wanted to believe, that Ahaan was his, but his mind was stopping him all the time. He was again standing in front of the door, looking inside. He could see only Riddhima with the baby.

Atul was no where seen. Armaan controlled his fast beating heart and moved inside. Riddhima looked up and was shocked to see Armaan. Instinctively her hands moved to Ahaan, as she again tried to hide him from Armaan. Yes, she had told him about his son, but Armaan was not ready to accept it.

A: Riddhima...

R: kya hua Mr. Mallik, abhi bhi kuch reh gaya tha. Aap mujhe abhi bhi kuch kehna chahte hai? koi aur insult hai.

A: Shut up Riddhima, tumhari saachai to kuch waqt me sabke samne aa jayegi. Lekin is waqt me yaha pe...

Armaan didn't complete his sentence. Instead he started to look towards Ahaan, who was lying beside Riddhima. Riddhima followed his eyes.

R: Soochna bhi mat Armaan.

A: Kyu Riddhima, tumne hi to kaha tha, ke Ahaan mera Beta hai.

R: haa kaha tha mene, lekin shayad tum bhul rahe ho, ke tumne kaha tha ke Ahaan mere so called najaiz Rishte ka saboot hai. To phir...

A: Bas Riddhima, me yaha pe koi behes karne nahi aaya hu. Me bas...

R: no Armaan...

Armaan didn't let her complete her sentence, but moved towards her bed and sat by her feet's. For Riddhima it was like she had lost her voice. She wasn't able to stop Armaan, when he forward his arms and grabbed Ahaan. Armaan moved further to Riddhima's side and picked Ahaan up. His first reaction was pure shock. Just seeing Ahaan's face, Armaan knew that he is his son. Ahaan is his baby.

The next shock he got, when he looked Ahaan in the eyes, there were the same color as his. And the third shock he got, as Ahaan smiled, his dimple came to view. For Armaan it was like he lost his tongue. Ahaan was a carbon copy of his childhood.

Unknowingly tears started to form in his eyes. He could not believe, that he was holding his own baby in his hands. Armaan could not hold back anymore, so he pressed Ahaan to his chest, and left uncountable kisses on his face.

Riddhima was purely shocked to see this reaction of Armaan. She thought that maybe he was again here to create a scene. But to her surprise, the way Armaan was holding and caring for Ahaan, made her heart swell with happiness. Today she could finally see them as a family together.

Ahaan giggled at his own fathers touch. With his tiny hands, he grabbed Armaans beard and giggled even more. That made Armaan chuckle and he smiled to his baby boy.

A: Meri Jaan...

Armaan again hugged Ahaan very tightly. Then his eyes moved to Riddhima, whose eyes were also filled with tears. Armaan felt very ashamed of himself, to blame Riddhima. He actually thought that this wasn't his own son. How wrong could he be.

A: Riddhima me...

R: nahi Armaan, maafi mat mangna, kyunke mujhme itni himmat nahi hai ke me tumhe maaf kar du.
