Chapter 102: chapter 102

Riya got involved in her work the whole day, and when she was about to leave she received a call from Nidhi." Riya , I am downstairs""Hey Nidhi!!, I am coming.. Give me two minutes. She rushed towards the elevator and came out of the office and saw Nidhi leaning to her car and waiting for her.Nidhi smiled  and opened the car door for her, sat in the driver seat and said,"  I received a call from Kabir in the evening saying you were not well yesterday. Ashish has informed Kabir about your condition and I felt I should stay with you till you are completely fine.""really, you will be staying with me,Oh my!! I am so excited "When two friends finally reached the apartment they saw the  commotion.. The girl who made Riya suffer was standing outside and cursing the apartment association for asking her to vacate the flat abruptly without notice.This was the most horrible day of her life. In the morning she lost her job and when she returned home, she was asked to vacate the flat. Her friends who were staying with her should also leave because of her." How can you do this to us?? she was shouting at the association secretary.Riya didn't want to be a part of the crowd after seeing that girl creating nuisance.. She took Nidhi's hand and took  a few steps forward but stopped in her tracks when she heard the association secretary saying," It was Mr.Ashish Hooda's order  and besides we have evidence against you.. if you create more nuisance I am sorry I will call police.The girl Stomped her feet and walked out with luggage in her hand..What did she do?? Why did Ashish do this to her?? there were multiple questions running in her mind..But Nidhi dragged her towards the elevator..When they reached her flat, both the girls started chattering.. They didn't realise the time and soon it was dark outside.." Nidhi, I think Kabir bro will miss you tonight", Riya winked..Nidhi slapped her arm  chuckled and said,"Let him be "Before she completed her sentence,she received a call from Kabir..Seeing the name of Kabir on her mobile Riya said," Looks like he already started missing you"Nidhi pinched Riya's thigh and went into another room to talk to Kabir.whereas Riya's mind was wandering  in what she heard downstairs. She walked out to check Ashish's door.. he didn't return yet.. She didn't know how long she stood there lost in remembering yesterday night.."He will not come back tonight, that is why he asked Kabir to  accompany you", Nidhi's words brought her back from the reverie..She didn't know why but Nidhi's words made her  sad .. will he not come back tonight?? but on the other hand she felt happy that he is caring for her.. Don't tell me you are missing your boss?? Nidhi teased.."No, No, why will  I miss him.. ", Riya said and walked away to hide her lie.." your lips say something and your face says something else"" Shut up Nidhi, there is nothing like that.. if I really feel for someone you will be the first person to know."..Nidhi didn't want to drag further so she diverted the topic saying " come let's have dinner"On the other hand , Ashish had to go to his house as he had to discuss his dad's 60 th birthday celebrations with Anika.. After dinner when he  went to his room, he remembered Riya.. He felt like talking to her and asking her  if she was ok?? but it was already late at night and he  hesitated to call her as Nidhi will be with her.. He couldn't stop himself messaging her.." Riya, are you alright?"Riya who was rolling on the bed as she couldn't sleep took her mobile when she heard the message tone..She immediately sat up when she saw it was from Ashish.." I am alright sir, thank you for being so caring""Hmmm, it's late.. you Should sleep", he typed as he didn't understand what to talk next..Riya felt disappointed when she saw the message..She didn't understand why she was angry and typed ," Good night sir"**** On the other hand Kriti was nervous as today is her finale in the cooking competition.. she  didn't expect She would come this far.. It was a wonderful journey for her with lots of ups and downs and she has learnt many new things during this process.There were three in the finale and it was announced that all the contestants will get the opportunity to work with the top rated chef of the country and have to follow his speed   and technique while cooking and whoever is near to the chef in taste and perfection will be the winner.It was announced that 4 types of dishes have to be prepared with one main ingredient.. there was a kind of tense atmosphere all around..The competition started and the chef was facing the three contestants, showing them how to prepare the dishes and preparing 4 varieties of  food simultaneously.. Your ears,  hands,eyes and brain should do multitasking at the same time..It was becoming too tough to match his speed in preparing 4 dishes at a time.. it was too much multitasking..But finally when the time came, Kriti followed the chef too perfectly and was chosen as the winner of the competition..Kriti had tears in her eyes when her name was announced.. Finally she has won the competition and proved  that she too has talent..There was a festive environment at Aditya's house..They all hugged and congratulated Kriti for her success.. But Kriti walked towards Sanjana, put the winner trophy in her hand and said, " Without you I would have never dreamt of winning this, Thank you Sanju for believing in me", She hugged her." I didn't do anything, it all happened because of your hard work and your husband's support".. She made her stand near Hardik.. and said '' god bless you both"..The day came to an end with all smiles and joy.. and after dinner Kriti as promised Packed her bags and got ready to leave with Hardik to her new house.. But before they left, Hardik's mom appeared out of the blue." Mom, why are you here??", Hardik was shocked to  see his mother here..Everyone's blood  in Aditya's family was boiling to see her here.. But as she is a guest ,Mamta invites her in.She walked towards Kriti with a smile on her face and kissed on Kriti's forehead and said," I knew my daughter will achieve big in her life.. With all your permission I want to take Kriti back home.. Please forget everything that happened in the past and I also apologize to you all if you feel I have crossed my limit in scolding Kriti.. "Everyone knows that this lady is acting, including her own son.." Kriti felt disgusted when her MIL kissed her and wanted to vomit seeing her drama""Mom, she will not go to that house",Hardik said.." Don't be silly Hardik, she is your wife.. how long will you leave her in her parent's house.. she should be with you"" Really mom,  you remembered this  after Kriti winning the competition"" Hardik, don't talk nonsense", She roared.." As you said, yes she should stay with me and she will, but not in that house.. I bought a new house and today me and Kriti are shifting to that house.. "Hardik's mom's face turned red due to anger.."You unfilial son ,you want to leave your parents in this old age and go out with your wife.. Do you have any shame.. ???"I didn't say I will not take care of you, I was responsible and I will be in future, equally I also have responsibilities as a husband towards my wife.. she has gone through enough trouble in my absence and I don't want that to repeat.. "You mean to say, I troubled your wife?? I always treated her as my daughter, how can you even say that " Hardik's mom started sobbing..When her anger didn't work she took the weapon of tears.." please mom, ask your conscience before speaking something.. I have decided to live with Kriti in a separate house and there is no change in it.  So please stop troubling me and go back..If you ruin the reputation of my wife in the society that she snatched your son from you, I warn you I will never come to see you again in my life"" Hardik's mom was shocked when she heard her son.Did he leave her any other choice rather than walking out from here. She looked around and saw hatred  for her in everyone's eyes.. She thought the old lady( Aditya's grandma) would speak up for her but she turned her face away from  her..She felt guilty and walked out.  She has come here to take Kriti back as she is famous now and has become a TV celebrity.. and her friends were  pressuring her to make them meet Kriti.. She thought if she apologised, the family members would agree to send Kriti back but to her surprise it was her own son who made it difficult for her.*****Aditya actually wanted to speak on behalf of Kriti but when he heard Hardik supporting her ,he felt happy and didn't intervene in between.It's their family issue and they have to solve it. and He was happy the way Hardik put his point clearly Infront of his mom..Now he is glad he chose him for his sister..
