"Why do you never tell me that I am not your daughter?" Rdihima questions Ranveer.
"You are my daughter. Ridhi." Ranveer said in a stern tone.
"Baba..." Ridhima few days ago, got to know that she was adopted. To be honest, she is not even adopted. Ranveer found a one-month-old baby near the trash can. From Ranveer's aunt, Ridhima got to know that, if Ranveer don't come then she might be the food of dogs or even any stray animal.
Her baba aka Ranveer was only twenty years that time. And from that time he became her baba, and never told her that he was not her father.
"Bacha...my aunt is a very nosy person. And nothing else matters to me. For me, you are my child and that's all" Ranveer said.
"Why are you so good with me? Without me your life must be very beautiful" Ridhima said. Her father refuses to do some roles because he can't leave Ridhima alone when she is a child. Ridhima always followed her father when she was little.
When she started to go to school, Ranveer started to accept some roles. But now he is a little aged and doesn't do much work. So his acting career got worse. For her education and other necessities, he started to take the roles of older characters or side characters too. If he doesn't make all these sacrifices for her then he might be a very famous actor.
Ridhima all these years take this for granted. But a few days ago she and Ran veer fought over some little things. That time her father's aunt revealed these things to her. At first, Ridhima doesn't believe all this. She doesn't believe that she is not the real daughter of her father. But later she got to know it was truth.
She at first feels remorse and then sadness. Her parents throw her in the trash. For them, she doesn't matter. How pitiful she is, to not even have real parents. She gets sad, angry and broken. And it later resulted in a few fights with others, which included her fight with her father.
"Ridhima, you are the reason your father is still alive," Ranveer said while seeing his daughter crying. He patted her head. Ridhima looked at him with her teary eyes.
"We should talk on this matter. But it will be the last time we talk about this okay?" Ranveer questions to which Ridhima nodded.
"You know, my father died early and it is my mom who raised me and my brother. That time I was only twenty years old when I got parted with my mom. And my lover also got married the next day. It broke me from the idea. That day, I with my remaining money wanted to buy poison, but when I was going to the store, I heard a cry.
I went there and saw a very beautiful baby there. I can't help but take her in my arms. But then I realised that someone must have abandoned it. I try to find them here and there but don't get success. I sit there with the baby for nearly two hours so that if someone comes to find her then I can return her. No one came there, and so with the remaining money I bought you milk that day.
I am so clumsy that I don't even know how to feed the child. The next day, we went to the police station. To check if someone registered any missing child's complaint. But that is also no use. The constable is my friend's father. He tells me that if the parents are not found then they will send the child to an orphanage. But life in an orphanage is not easy.
I also don't have any work. But that day my lover came and gave me some money as compensation. I don't want to take it. But I need to feed you. So I take it. I realized that my heart doesn't hurt that much. And I started to take care of you, which made me forget all my worries."
"You are telling me all this so I will not feel sad right?" Ridhima can't help but question with a smile. Why would someone leave her father? He is a very handsome and nice person.
"no...I will tell you one incident. That time you might be two or three years old. At that time I worked as stunt man.M karate teacher told me, that in some countries to see a child's interests, they put money, toys and food in front of the child. And see what the child chooses. It is a fun thing so I decided to try it on you. So I put these things in front of you.
We are always poor at that time, but for this experiment, I buy you your favourite chocolate. And I ask you" what you want most. You will only get one in this."
I don't know if you understand the question or not. But you come and hug me. You don't even look at them.
At that moment I felt so blessed. You my child always make me proud. I love raising you every day. I feel like I had a family when you used to cook for me even after studying so hard. I feel proud when you come first in class, even when you don't have many things.
You are the most special thing that happened to me, Ridhima. So don't blame yourself. Even in the club, the way you talk about me makes me feel so good. So don't be like this. I don't like you crying" Ranveer said while crying. He also tears up due to all this. indeed these years are not easy for him. He wanted to give every best thing to his daughter but was not able to. But still, he doesn't ever regret adopting Ridhima.
"Baba, I love you," Ridhima said the words, which she wanted to say for a long time. She only has one person who loves her in her worst and good times. Who tries his best to fulfil her every wish. Instead, she gives only pain to him. But now when she only has little life left. She wanted to tell him that she loved him. Even with all the anger and sadness, she always love him.
"I love you Baba" Ridhima while crying murmured these words repeatedly until she lost consciousness.
