With the help of the neighbors, she took him to the nearest hospital and got him admitted there. When he was in the OT getting treated, she filled out all the forms. When the nurse asked her what was he to her, she glanced towards the OT and said MY HUSBAND. When the doctor came out, she asked him how was Armaan now. Doctor said, he was fine now and there was nothing to worry, but he would have to take rest for 1 month as his knee and right arm was fractured.
For the next 1 week he was in the hospital and Riddhima looked after him with great care. He was discharged and when they returned back to home, he tried to sit on the couch with his knee stretched but could not adjust his leg properly. She went and helped him. As she did that he was staring at her, when she lifted her eyes to see if he was ok she got lost in his eyes. Both were staring for almost 5 mins. She could see the love for her in his eyes. He was searching for love in her eyes. Suddenly they both were brought back with his mobile ringing. She blushed a little which went unnoticed by him as she turned her back to him to pick the phone and gave it to him and rushed to the kitchen to get him prepare the lunch.
He got the call from the lawyer saying that she was proceeding the case with the reason that both were not happy with this marriage and as it is it was nearing for the third month since they got married and they both still had not accepted each other it was not a big deal to get the divorce soon. After the call, he was a little upset and rested his head on the pillow and dozed off due to the effect of the medicines.
In the afternoon, Riddhima woke him to have lunch. He was having difficulty to feed himself as his hand was fractured. Riddhima smiled looking at his attempts and went and sat in front of him and took the roti piece from his hand and dipped it in the dhal and brought it near his lips, but he rejected saying that he would do it by himself. Even then she insisted saying he would hurt his hand more. Then he suddenly blasted saying "jab tum chali jaogi tab toh mujhe hi karna hoga na yeh sab. Bas mujhe kisi par depend karne ki aadat mat lagne dena. Jaisa hoon waisa hi rehne do." She was a little hurt due to his aggressiveness and anger, but she did not want him to hurt himself more and stopped her tears from flowing and said, "fine, main toh chali jaungi, lekin jab tak hoon tab tak mujhe ye karna hoga, jab aap theek hojayenge tab aap khud ye sab karlijiye and again she gave the roti bite to him, when he did not open his mouth she forcefully made him eat that and after that he did not make any scene and ate his lunch silently.
She was hurt due to his behavior from past few days, he never spoke to her, she would just do all the household chores and his work to certain limit and cook food. This was her daily ADL(activities of daily living. This had become a routine for her.
One day, when she was in the kitchen preparing breakfast she heard the door bell ringing, she went and opened the door to see her parents standing there. She was surprised and elated to see them. She hugged her mom and dad with both her arms at a time and squealed in joy. She took them in and spoke to them for some time and ran upstairs to call Armaan. She went in his room and saw him struggling to wear his shirt. She walked to him and fixed all his buttons. He watched her doing that and saying to him that "Armaan mumma and papa have come, I am so happy. They just surprised me. They have come to see you pls come down and meet them." He immediately turned back and in a loud voice told her "when they have already come here I have to meet them right. I will come down in a little while, you go." Riddhima was stunned to see this side of Armaan and immediately said, "Armaan dheere baat karo, they will listen." Armaan "let them listen, I don't care" saying that he walked out downstairs. He saw them both sitting in the living room, he felt bad seeing their glum faces and wished them and took their blessings. They just had a formal talk and was about to leave the house for office, Riddhima came and asked him, "aap office jaa rahe hai, aap toh abhi tak theek bhi nahi hue. Aapko rest ki zaroorat hai." He did not budge to her saying and kept walking out. When she knew he would not answer back to her, she said, "ok fine, at least breakfast toh karke jaiye."
