Love Endures All

Part 7 - I Love You

Ridhima was blank not knows what to say or whatnot. She just keeps hugging Arman not wanting to part away from him. Even though he was with her all day night from the past 5 months physically but emotionally he was on another level from her, but today they are back to the same ground. 

The ground of their love. Ridhima was hugging him from 5 minutes and in between that she has numerous times moved a bit away from him without unlinking her arms around him seeing his face with love staring in his eyes she again hugged him. 

It happened many times in the last 5 minutes Armaan too didn't say anything as he remembers a few things from this past month if not all. Armaan didn't even try to part her away knowing if not all day physical Work has taken away her energy than this emotional outburst surely would have. So without parting away from her Armaan lift her slightly to make her stand on his feet and then he just took her in the room. Ananya just nodded in his direction when he looks at her for unknown permission.

Ridhima was too involved inlet out her fear, insecurities, love, pain, and what not that she never realize that now she wasn't just hugging Armaan but also sitting in his laps.

He never asked her to stop crying, he just keeps caressing her hairs with on hand while another hand rubs her back smoothly to relax her. Her grip never got lost on him. Armaan wanted to ask her about her feelings so her pain can be lessened but on other thoughts, he didn't want to make her go through the same pain again remembering it.

It's been an hour but there saw no change in the situation just that Ridhima's tears stopped but not her sobbing. Ananya wanted to give them time but it was time for their dinner which she can't skip as since morning due to one or the other reason Ridhima haven't eaten anything. 

So make a plate for two with water kept beside Ananya took the tray inside the room after a simple knock as the Gate of the room was left ajar. Ananya kept the tray on table a few feet away from bed with chairs arranged, she looked towards them blinking an eye to her Armaan acknowledge her gesture. Smiling at him Ananya just caresses his head with all the love admiring him then moved out letting him handle Ridhima, the person who made him came back to life again.

Ridhima keeps clinging to Armaan not wanting to leave him even for a minute. He asked her to have food but she just shakes her head in denial as she doesn't want to leave him.

Armaan just smiled at his basket from days she was all strong handling everything owns her own, not just her life but to him to the naive, innocent and delicate Ridhima who never took the smallest decision of her life to own her own always look up to someone to help her was taking everything in her hand from the past few months dealing it with every possible strength in her not scaring of anything. But knows she is back to what she was when he was with her the scared, innocent, delicate Ridhima was back. Isn't it always that she is what she is when he was there letting him handle things for her but that doesn't mean she can't be on her own anyway. If she wants she can be as strong as the rock, as fierce as fire but she prefers being his basket that is the Trait of her that he adores and love her for.

She likes to be dependent doesn't mean she can't be independent. She likes to be innocent doesn't mean she can't be mature enough. She likes to be naive doesn't conclude she can't be fierce.

If she wants she can be anything, you just name it but for him, she is just what she prefers to be.With all these thoughts Armaan picked her up in his arms making themselves settle in the chair beside the table Laden with food.

He took the plate off from the dinner revealing the content and it was everything from his favorite to her favorite dish cooked by his mother.
