Returning from the hospital Ridhima was too happy. That 20 % has increased to 60%. The doctor has given medicine to include in his diet. Coming back home Ridhima and Nikki moved towards the kitchen to get done with cooking dinner. They were talking about the old days when Armaan came to Ridhima tugging her dupatta "Mein Bore ho raha hun... mera ko khelna hain."

"Aur kya khelna hain aapko." Ridhima asked with a smile.

"Kya khelna hain....!" Armaan spoke in the thinking manner scratching his head cutely looking with a smile up to Ridhima and Nikki.

"Snake ladders khelen" Nikki suggested to him. To which he nodded with all enthusiasm."Haan Snake and ladders please..." Armaan pleaded but Ridhima showed her back to him. Armaan was a bit disappointed "Please" he pleaded again tugging at her dhupatta."Okay par ek shart pe tum davai loge khane ke baad. Mujhe tang nahi karoge aur Na hi dawai kahin phekoge." Armaan pout hearing her demand.

"Mera ko nahi khelna phir" he denied and went out to be sat on the couch.

"Dawai toh khani padhegi na Armaan. Agar aap dawai nahi khoge toh phir....." she left her sentence in the mid not getting what to say to him ahead so as he will agree to have his dose of daily medicine.

"Toh Phir..?" he asked her but Ridhima was still thinking what to reply to him. When Nikki standing a bit far piped in "Toh phir aapke baki ke friends bhi apse nahi milenge."

"Mera aur bhi dost hain vo aayenge mera se milne" Armaan said getting excited.

"Haan Armaan ke toh bahut sare dost hain. Bahut sare best friends' hain Armaan ke toh" Nikki answered

"Nahi Sirf Ridhima meri Best Dost hain aur koi nahi." Armaan said getting childishly possessive about her while hugging her around her waist resting his head on her shoulder as she was sitting beside him.

"Okay Ridhima aapki Best Dost hain par baki phir aapse milne nahi aayenge" Nikki told him."Par kyun mein ne kya kiya" Armaan asked feeling sad about that fact his friends won't meet him.

"Agar Armaan Ridhima ki baat nahi sunega toh baaki dost sochenge ki jab Armaan apne Best dost ki baat nahi sunta jab ki vo toh Armaan ke sirf dost hain. Vo phir naraz ho jaenge aur Armaan se milne nahi aayenge." Nikki told this to him with little sadness.

"Nahi mein dost ki baat sununga. Par dawai bahut gandi hoti hain.. bahut gandi gandi taste hota hain dawai na." Armaan complained.

"Soch lo Armaan doston se milna hai ya phir nahi." Nikki asked him instantly.

"Milna hain.... Theek Hai mein kha lunga." Armaan agreed to her. "Par mera ko toffee chaiye uske baad roz." He demanded

"Deal," Nikki said to get a smile from Armaan, and then he left Ridhima as he kept hugging her after he declared her as his Best Dost.

"Chalo Dost aab khelen snake and ladders." He asked leaving Ridhima and shaking her as she was lost somewhere. She came out of her thought and look at Armaan nodding to him"Mein abhi playing board leke aati hun okay," Ridhima said cupping his face, he nodded his head and then smilingly kept sitting there talking to his teddy telling him that they will now play Snake and ladders.

Moving towards Nikki holding her hand "Thank you, Nikki. I am greatly ki Bhagwan ne mujhe tum jaise friend di hain. Nahi toh pata nahi mein kaise ye sab akele handle karti. Thank you nahi bolungi mein kyun ki I know we passed that stage of Friendship but still Nikki I can't do this alone."

"Toh Who asked you to do it all alone. Ridhima Armaan mera bhi bahut acha dost raha hain. Aur bahut baar usne bhi meri help ki hain, I know mein uska ehsan nahi utar sakti na hi vo koi ehsan tha ye toh dosto ka kaam hota hain na. Apne Doston ki muskin mein help karna"
