Armaan and Riddhima looked at Ahaan who was laying on the bed, throwing his hands and legs in the air. Ahaan was looking towards them and a beautiful dimple smile was on his lips as his eyes watched his parents.

Ahaan: Ba....Ba....

Again, he repeated it making Armaan move away from Riddhima and rush to Ahaan side taking him in his arms. Armaan was having a smile on his face while Riddhima had a teary smile on her lips.

A: Phir se kaho...

Armaan asked Ahaan to repeat but he was too small to understand so as soon as Armaan took him in his arms, he started to hit Armaan's cheek with his small palms which made Armaan smile wide. Armaan kissed all over his face as he felt he got his happiness back in his life after years.

While Armaan was trying to make Ahaan repeat the word one more time, Riddhima stood watching the duo. Riddhima was happy for Ahaan to get his father back but she felt little upset that Armaan forget her once again being with their son. Armaan was too lost to realize that Riddhima was also with them, not being able to handle the loneliness even though having two most important people in her life, Riddhima moved out from the room letting the tears fall on her cheeks.

A: Baba bolo phirse... Ba..Ba...

Ahaan: Ba..baa...

Ahaan spoke not really understanding how much happiness he was giving to his father, who just few hours ago got to know that he has a son. Ahaan hold Armaan cheeks and put his mouth on Armaan nose, letting his saliva's all over on Armaan face. Armaan chuckled seeing his action and was admiring how cute his baby is, he forgot about Riddhima but when he realized it might be his first word, without thinking Armaan spoke.

A: Riddhima, Ahaan ne...

Armaan looked around but couldn't find Riddhima on the spot where he had left her, Armaan frowned not finding Riddhima, and thought where she might have left. As Ahaan started to suck all over Armaan face, he understood that he might be hungry.

So taking Ahaan, Armaan moved out from the room in search of Riddhima. Armaan didn't find Riddhima in hall or any of the open guest room. So he moved to the kitchen to see, Riddhima working around. Armaan looked at her face which shows no happiness of hearing Ahaan call Armaan as his father.

Riddhima was lost as she prepared the dinner. Being unaware of Armaans present, Riddhima was trying to keep herself busy as she felt happy but till sad. Riddhima was hoping that Armaan would share his happiness with her but like always, he just left her alone. Riddhima was expecting Ahaans first word to be Baba but she never thought, Armaan would get to hear it.

Tears continuously fell from her eyes as she remembered, how she had introduced Ahaan to his father. How much she wanted to hate Armaan, she never wanted Ahaan to be unaware of his own father. Riddhima never thought Ahaan would take a like seeing Armaan's photo but to her surprise, Ahaan just get too happy to see his fathers picture every time she showed him the photo Riddhima kept in her room back in Atul house.

FLASHBACK

After putting Ahaan to sleep, Riddhima was sitting on the bed looking at Armaan photograph. It wasn't only his but their photograph which was send by Ananya of their marriage. Neither of them were smiling but they just was standing looking at the camera as it was capture in the memory of their wedding when they become husband and wife.

As Atul was unaware of Riddhima's ex husband, she never took it out unless she is alone at the late night. Neither she has shown to Ahaan because he was too small to understand anything. Riddhima always spend sometimes staring at the picture before going to bed, thinking what has gone wrong in their life.
