AR FF Essence of Love

Part 10

"Ridhima you pack your bag and get ready we would leave soon from here directly to India As I consulted a doctor she had said that it's not too good for u to travel after more days so it's better that I take you back home instead of going Sydney"
Armaan said each word so carefully making her understand he was far away from her though he had apologised immediately after the kiss and that haunted Ridhima he didn't question her once nor he taunted her he just took full fledge care of her.
She gulped the juice and cleaned her lips and looked over at Armaan pouting he asked through his eyes "what"she forwarded the empty glass and he poured more in it.he seemed unusually quite and his silence was making Ridhima more anxious still she did not say a word.
Next morning they had left to India.During the whole flight she was a bit hesitant due to her nausea but she slept after the take off and woke up by Armaan after landing and he didn't purposely wake her as she might feel suffocated during flight but she was perfect during journey as soon they moved to their house.Muskaan broke the vase she setting because she didn't expect them at all Armaan didn't inform anyone because he couldn't let her away more.
"Oh my God!!!!is that you Ridzi????"she spoke jumping over the broken pieces of vase and giving a true genuine hug to her.
"I missed you so much where had you left huh?" Muskaan spoke a little hurt.
"Let us come in Muski!!!" Armaan spoke to her moving inside "And For God sake stop breaking things"and before settling himself on couch spoke.
"Where's Mom?"
"Oye tujhe kya problem hai me jo marzi krun? and mom is in her room"
"Acha chal teekh I will go and meet her"
"Ayo Ridsy Ayo aram se andr ayo aur is Bandr ki bton ko ignore kr khush rahegi 😂"and laughed her typical laughter.
Ridhima smiled and carefully went with her they settled on couch and "muski I want water"Ridhima said huffing with up down breaths due to the walk of corridor she gets easily tired nowadays she thought.
"Yes I will get you rest"saying this she went to kitchen.
Ridhima was moving her gazes on the whole house she know she haven't stayed much in this house but still it gives her a strange comfort of being home the solace her heart always feel being in this house is unexplainable.She was in a thought process when Ananya came out followed by Armaan.
"Meri bachi I am so happy"Ananya said sitting by her and hugged her..
"Double happiness hai Armaan Celebrations tou Banti hai."
She said caring Ridhima head affectionately Armaan just nodded his head in approval.
"Akbar me Dadi bnana wali......"he sentence was left incomplete as Muskaan came out with water and said shocked "What Mama?"
She passed the glass to Ridhima and sat on floor on her knees looking at her baby bump.
"Armaan tu tou sahi me fast nikla but you should have asked Ridzi before it she was alone with the baby in her womb just because she wasn't ready Armaan u should have understood her"
Muskaan said as if making Armaan get Ridhima and her point of view while Armaan and Ridhima were aghast with her philosophy.but some where a slight fear enveloped in his heart but he knew if it was the reason she would have aborted the baby by now.but Ridhima was feeling more and more shameful because she exactly don't know what was the reason of her dismissal.and seeing how still muskaan was making him understand she looked at hi. Who was staring guilty in her eyes And seeing his intense gaze tears trickled down her face.
"Oh Muski shut up"Armaan said seeing the tear linings on her face.
Ridhima's hiccups took their attention as she was sitting holding her tears and as the pent up emotions filled in her she cried miserably.
"Arey Ridhima beta tumhe Kya howa?"Ananya hugged her immediately who hugged her back crying till her heart felt peaceful.
Muskaan was just gaping blaming herself somewhere for Ridhima's crying so much.While Armaan was only staring at her he was himself hurt and now more was due to her crying he thought she don't want to be with him anymore and this realisation haunted him.
His read shot eyes one due to lack of sleep from 4 months he haven't slept peacefully and then the excessive crying.he quickly excused himself and left the lounge and went to his room.After making Ridhima have some water and helping Ridhima upto the room mumbling a sorry she left Ridhima infront of Armaan's room gaining lots of courage she unlatched the door and entered she looked over everything it was just like before and suddenly her Heart filled with the warmth as she felt peaceful as if she belonged here realising the falling water in washroom she concluded Armaan to be in Washroom .she took small steps up to the bed When she heard the door of washroom opening Armaan came out with bare upper body and shorts he was drying his hair with a towel he looked up at Ridhima dumping the towel in laundry basket he moved to his wardrobe and taking out a vest he wore it and spoke with his face still towards wardrobe "If u are not much comfortable in my room you can use the other one I would arrange it for you and Ridhima ..."he turned to her and moved a bit closer he signaled her to sit down as she settled herself on bed he continued "If you wanna leave me you can but not now not until you give birth to my baby and leave the baby with me then I would my self free you off this marriage I promise but don't please don't leave now I won't be able to bear the separation with two most precious people to me"he said as some tears were ready to spill from his eyes. Ridhima gasped with sudden pain and clutched her tummy her tears were still there Armaan panicked seeing her in pain he couldn't bear the sight "Ridhima are you alright? Wait MOM" he screamed as he was about to move out to get some help but he was stopped as Ridhima held his hand making its way up to her tummy she smiled at him happily "he kicked"
"Really?" He asked astound the excitement clearly visible in his voice.seeing her nodding her head he pulled himself closer and again touched her belly only to feel the baby kicking again he smiled again "it feels so awesome I wonder how you must have felt all this time this feeling is inexplainable isn't it?" He asked her completely forgetting every other thing all that gives happiness was to feel his baby.
"Armaan this is the first ever time the baby kicked all the time i used to be very tensed as the Doctor used to say the baby is perfect inside but I never felt him kicking his movements were fine but this is the very first time baby is kicking"she happily shared her thoughts too.
After that day they never discussed about anything about Ridhima's earlier departure nor would she leave ever or not all the people in house were just showering their love on her.Armaan and Ridhima are sleeping with each other on the bed as Ridhima's head was carelessly thrown on his bare chest as he had his back rested on the back of bed.
This is not how perfect they were one night Ridhima woke up due to a bad dream ever since then Armaan sleep with her the days were nearing and her fears were waking up more.
She have consulted the doctor who have assured her that the baby would be perfect and nothing is there to be worried about delivery.she spoke to Ananya who told her that she also felt the time Rahul was born but nothing scared her on Armaan's time as she had gone through it once before as well. This had helped her somewhere but still being with Armaan gave her extreme comfort and considering it Armaan was always there.It was past 8 months and any time labour can be starting so everyone specially Armaan never sleeps and a few naps he used to get only in sitting position as he cannot let anything happen to either of them or Ridhima run away ever since she have comeback this fear is in his heart and he made sure it in these 4 months they were together.
Suddenly Ridhima stirred in sleep as she moved her head left to right Armaan felt her movement and immediately woke up he saw her whimper in pain as she clutched bed sheet in her one palm as other rested on her womb as pain increAsed Armaan quickly wore his slipper and adjusted her safely on bed then he messaged muskaan and took a settled bag from wardrobe and took her in his arms seeing him coming out holding Ridhima the guard immediately opened the door of car for him and he told him to tell his family as he settled her inside as she cried in utter pain.He drove off to hospital in the way leaving a quick message to Ridhima's consultant doctor he then called her upto the time she messaged a Ok back as he felt assured and said sweet nothings to Ridhima as she kept screaming his name.
Reaching hospital he put Ridhima on stretcher as it wheeled to the labour room he felt he lost all the courage as soon her hand slipped his.he started praying for safety of both as he could hear her screams he can not take that anymore he stormed inside the labour room and went to the nurse who was sponging her forehead he took it from her and started doing that whispering "relax just breath in and out"
"Ridhima this is our baby you had to be strong jaan u wanna hold out baby so one more try....." and so on.he kept saying until the time baby came to the world.soon his family was also outside he took her hand and kissed it as the nurse took the baby for cleaning.soon Ridhima was shifted to the private room as Armaan informed his family.soon After a couple of hours and cherishing their time with their baby they went to their home where muskaan had decorated everything in the simplest way to welcome the new member.They both were blessed with a cute little baby girl who was named Ayra Armaan Mallik.Armaan had already thought of the name and Ridhima did same for the baby boy.But it was Armaan's wish that was full filled.Ayra is the Apple of everyone's eye All of them spend their time with her they fight like kids to hold her.So the early morning time was fixed with Billy as he used to spend the time with her.Later after he leaves Ananya used to be with her and then Rahul and Muskaan who daily fight for it while Armaan very cleverly take her from them as they get too busy to fight.Ridhima used to laugh at them it was just perfect nothing could be more perfect than this.and she thought about the day when Armaan told her to leave after the baby and a sudden fear gripped her.she can't leave this house now.Armaan have once again proved his love all the time she had run away Armaan has always stopped her or make her come back and shower with utmost love but what she did? Always left him and now she had to mend her mistake she would do that and whole day she just thought how to mend it.she can't blame her sister she should be the one trusting her husband she should have known it before only.

At night Armaan entered inside the house late he thought to skip dinner as he can't eat alone and everyone else must be asleep by now so not making any noise he went to his room entering slowly as not to disturb the mother daughter duo but was left surprised to see the whole room having a aroma the candles were lit in the whole room as rose petals were drawn around the bed as the floor was beautifully arranged up-to the bed.

Armaan moved inside as his heart started to thump as he guessed the reason behind the decor of the room.he looked here and there as he moved forward to the bed entering in the bed area he couldn't locate anybody moving ahead as he thought she might be with Ayra so he can get freshen up quickly he moved to the wardrobe taking his clothes he entered in washroom only to be left shocked with the sight as he felt his body going stiff.
