Part 8-Part 10

PART 8

Sometimes people don't dare to attempt things out of fear...dare to take some decisions

becoz of fear...fear of loosing their loved ones, fear of loosing those precious people to achieve something else, fear to give up something for something else

fear a four letter yet is a powerful...but sometime one takes a wrong decision out  of fear

-life's precious words

"beautiful picture just perfect or perhaps more than that too" she exclaimed the next morning as she entered his room...A smile poured on her soft petal lips while still admiring the huge picture framed behind the bed...it was armi, maya n minnee's picture where minnee was sitting between them with a broad smile while they both were kissing her either side of cheeks

her smile widened seeing it more n more but she didn't feel a inch of pain inside her, which normally she should have but instead of pain she felt only happiness BECOZ she could see the happiness, calmness on his face...on their face

"thanks" he said in return...but he thanked her for not the compliment she gave a min back only

BUT not for feeling jealous seeing her n maya's pic together,

for coming into his life,

for not misunderstanding him,

for being by his side always not physically but yea emotionally n mentally and

for proving this statement right "love is about giving not about asking and thinking wat i get in return...as returns is only measured in business and love is definitely not a business deal"

MAINLY for loving him STILL unconditionally

actually for just everything

finally pushing her eyes away from the pic she looked at him...as she looked at him she noticed he was looking at her with deep love...but today it seemed to her that the length of the love had increased...it had deepened more...it had climbed one more mountain and reached a new peak, a new height

smiling in return she questioned "thanks??"

as his heart totally took control over his mind he slowly took hold of her hand still not letting his eyes leave her face for a second neither blinking his eyes which was filled with love

seeing same love reflecting in her eyes n smile he smiled further, little more deeply this time

feeling her hand lightly squeezed by him she brought her another hand up, placing it above his hand she squeezed it just to say unspoken words while he finally spoke up "just for everything...thanks for each and everything u did for me"

"then i must say ur always welcome" she said bowing her head, laughing slightly plus indirectly breaking the eye contract but not the heart to heart contract or rather connection

as her eyes fell down realization drawn upon her plus...dropping her hand she looked around then at him saying "ah...breakfast is ready everyone must be waiting for us"

as he nodded they walked out of the room...with a new different smile

**********

As many days and nights had passed work load increased...few pilots and air-hostess had taken holidays becoz of which they had almost everyday flights...flights and sleep were only things they were doing

Luck wasn't fully by their side but yea it was 2 some extend becoz of which they once or twice only got flights together but they used to catch up for coffee or in office sometime...many unspoken words were spoken between them silently...but sometime chatting for how much ever time they could was also done

**********

"muskaan atleast finish ur lunch"  she almost ordered as she filled a plate full of food for her

"gappu will kill me ridz if im late...bye armaan" she said as she filled her mouth full of food n made her way towards he door

"pagal"  she muttered seeing how she was speaking with filled mouth

seeing she was smiling while cleaning the table he smiled n informed her as he now started helping her, "perfect, she is indeed mad...u know she literally dragged me after the flight saying have lunch with me today n now left in mid-way of lunch" 

'that's he way she is' she said while handling the plates to him

the long windows was open...a min back it was raining...right now the wind was blowing...a chilly wind was blowing

as she finished the cleaning she stood with him near the long window...her long silky tendrils was letting the kool air pass through them...which made them fly, look more beautiful...more shiny...her face was radiated a glow...smile was till her eyes

all becoz the day was beautiful and the guy next to her was a major share holder of her heart

he looked at her as she absorbed...absorbed somewhere but seemed to be happily absorbed

as he was sinking in her addictive face he got distracted by her voice...she  screamed 'aaaaaahh' with her eyes closed

"wat happ ridz" he question seeing she was covered her eye tightly...now she was rubbing it too

"something...something went in my eyes...becoz...becoz of wind"...noticing few tears now coming out of her eyes he bend closer to her...closer to her face

wiping the little tear which was shining at the edge of her eyes he slowly started opening her eyes while blowing warm air...his warm breath and air blown by him made her shiver...tremble

feeling his fingers lightly caressed her cheeks, temple...still blowing warm air she looked up at him...he looked soo calm...soo caring, soo tensed for her right now that she couldn't take her eyes off him

seeing each other soo closely they lost control over their senses...as one fact they both knew they both still had the same feeling for each other

slowing he stopped blowing the warm air as now he himself needed help as he was drowning in her eyes...getting lost within her

pulling her little more closer he lightly...very lightly brushed his lips upon her red eye...washing away the left out pain...her smile widened feeling his lips upon her eye...opening slowly she looked into his grey eyes once again...n found herself sinking in him....in his love...in his eyes

the eye lock broke as the door bell rang...avoiding his glances she walked towards the door...her smile disappeared as nervousness took over realizing how close they were...realizing they were inches away only

opening the door she looked at the two pairs of eyes totally surprised

**********

As she sat comfortable on the steps of the house she looked outside after biding him bye n welcoming her parents, who gave her surprise visit...but not pleasant news...she somehow had managed 2 avoid meeting with rahul last few days but today she couldn't refuse her parents

it was raining, rainbow had colored the sky with the beautiful colors "rainbow has colored my life too" she whispered inside her...as she connected each color of the rainbow to the people in her life she smiled further n further

hearing her mobile buzzing showing a new message received she picked it up..."k see u at 6...red box hotel...rahul"

as she finished reading she signed... remembering the one hr long chat she had with her dad she smiled sadly

Her dad's words echoed inside her 'ah...well im sorry, i understand y u lied to us that ur married to atul...u didn't wanted to marry a guy whom u didn't love or rather knew absolutely nothing...i was wrong so was my decision...the guy whom we had choused for u was wrong; a drug addict but this time im sure rahul is a nice guy...he really is...i want 2 see u settled in a marriage life...just meet him one-two times if u dont like him...i will not force u but i wish....i get a positive reply...n rahul's parents  said he is ready 2 marry u...now everything depends on u'

...then one min she seemed to be thinking...other min discarding the negative thoughts arising...and getting absolutely blank the next min...but one thing was only clear she will by hell or crook get out of the mess

"i know i will hurt them if i refuse rahul but it will hurt them more if i marry by force and then they have to see me not happy with him all their life" she reasoned her act after thinking for an hr...reason which appeared quite convincing to herself

"yes...yes that will hurt them more...this marriage will be nothing but just a sadness wearing a mask of happiness" she signed sadly while socking her legs in rainy water

'yes i know what i did was not right but it wasn't wrong too...yes it wasn't wrong...but wat now i will do, will that be right too?? May be yes may be not gosh...i can't marry the person i wanna marry, if all i marry armaan i will DEFINATELY loose mom, dad, AA...my life evolves around them TOO, i can't live without them...i just can't, i will not hurt them by marrying him...i will not....." she continued 2 fight a battle inside with he brain which was hardly working right now...her brain which has refused 2 work right now

after thinking for more half an hour...thinking of ways not marrying rahul...thinking of ways she could marry armaan...two things were crystal clear, as clear as pure love...pure as her heart...that she would refuse to marry rahul ANYHOW and...and will lead her life alone as there was no way she could hurt the four most important people in her life...therefore only way she saw or rather thought was stay single all her life...and the thought didn't hurt her much becoz this is wat she had planned for herself two yrs back but last few days these thoughts had washed away while living MORE colorful life with armaan had filled the space of old thoughts

according to her one side her parents, AA were there and another side he was there...finally she decided...and her decision was fixed...but was her decision right? Right for her?...right for her close people?...n will she get the happiness she deserves with her decision?...these were some question which she never though or gave importance to

**********

he drove fast...one left turn he would reach his destination...phew he cursed himself for forgetting to go there on his birthday...a week back

"im so sorry maya, it just slipped out of my mind...u know naa i don't believe in these things" he said looking up in the sky in a guilty tone as he walked towards the small cottage

soon he entered a room...the room was clouded with smoke...things were not seen clearly...a lady was sitting in the room...a wise n sweet old lady

sitting opposite the lady he smiled at her "shenaaz bi...mein armaan...remember armaan, maya"

passing a smile at him she looked at the cloudy crystal ball between them..."yes i know u dear, and i know ur going through a confusion phrase in ur life too"

as her words registered inside him he looked at her with a surprise look becoz he was indeed confused about few things...about ridz and his relationship...about angie-atul not knowing the truth...about soo many things

as her hands moved around the crystal ball again with her eyes set on it she spoke up "maya had told me to pray for u and help u when ur in a problem"

glancing at him she continued but noticed he smiled when she mentioned maya "as today u gave me the opportunity to help u, i would just like to tell u FOLLOW UR HEART, 4get ur brain becoz ur brain will confuse u n lead u 2 a wrong way only"

"but" he tried 2 ask his endless questions but he heard her interrupting him...giving one answer to his endless question "son i know the path will be full of rocks becoz of which u will hurt ur loved ones also but im sure the fruit u will be achieve will be fruitful"

as he walked out of the cottage after awhile he decided to follow his heart...and the first thing his heart wanted was bringing the truth in front of angie...it would be difficult he reminded himself but the need to do this was important to him...he needed their forgiveness and wanted to apologize for his act... his selfish act

**********

parking the car she glanced herself one last time in the side mirror...muttering something under her breath she walked inside the stylish restaurant

already wasted few mins she rushed towards the table where rahul was waiting for her

few things she had decided and few things she would decide after meeting rahul but one thing was sure whatever she would do may be right may be wrong too but it had to be done

"hey rahul" she said with a smile while sitting opposite to him

"hey" he said looking at his watch which said she was 7-8 mins late...which he didn't like...being in the profession of Dr, he values time the most

"soo rahul u want to marry me?" as he heard her he looked up...she was soo blunt...soo direct...in her approach that it shocked him

PART 9

What we do for ourselves dies with us

what we do for others and the world remains and is immortal

-ridz dairy pg 53

*******************

 (cont ridz-rahul meeing)

"look gurl" she cocks her eyebrow hearing how he addressed her

"i just wanna be frank like last time...i don't wanna marry u but i can't refuse my parents soo this time u have to take the call" as his words processed inside her she sat still, didn't know how to react, here she was sitting with a guy who was indeed a coward...he couldn't stand for his decision, wishes

"i would be very happy if u can ALONE cancel this marriage or i fear u and me...will...u know wat i mean right??"

finally as everything sink inside her she shook her head, relaxed herself, finally finding the right words she retorted "wow u want to have the fruit too but don't want to help me to fetch it"

noticing he looked ashamed she smirked silently, "hey its just that no longer i can refuse my parents" he finally replied finding some words of defend himself which unfortunately she decided to outlook

throwing an angry glance she announced coldly as she knew her parents had just asked her to meet him and decide, knowing the fact they wouldn't force her into this marriage she knew she could alone easily manage to cancel this marriage "FINE i can find ways alone, u don't think i can't manage things alone"

as he saw her leaving the hotel after couple of mins he smiled...bringing his phone which was lying on the table to his ears he smiled saying "u heard everything right??...so do i need to say your work is done??" hearing the other end conversation he laughed...shaking his head he ended the call

*******************

As she looked at him, she observed with each passing second he seemed to be more lost

lost where?? In which world?? She just couldn't understand...the questions were screamed by her but unfortunately inside her only...

she just couldn't build up the courage to ask him wat happened suddenly that he came up to her place at 3 a clock in the night and where he is lost from the past one hr...wat is nagging inside him...y he is holding her hand soo tightly as if something......something terrible thing he is going to attempt...something which may make their world turn upside down

as she glanced at the sky whom he was staring from past one and half an hour now she hoped just one thing...she could see one tutta tara...who could fulfill her most important wish now...wish to see him smiling once, the sweet smile which sparkles like a jewels or perhaps more than that too

"u know wat??" she titled her head seeing finally he said something, the three words were like a pleasant breeze to her which makes u feel soo good...brings peace within u

keeping his eyes still on the movements of the moon he continued "its soo easy for moon naa...to hide himself behind the black cloud??...i mean he covers himself with the clouds but he forgets he can't stay there forever...atlas when the clouds will move he will be visible...then too see he again tries to covers himself"

as the words arrive at her she stares him with disbelief thinking wat on earth has happened as she failed to understand the true meaning of those lines...it was an indirect statement which was saying one day truth will come out whatever u do it has to and it should come out, it can hide for awhile only not forever...and however harsh it is or how many obstacles it brings along it should be out

feeling her warm hand on his cheeks squeezing it lightly he looked at her finally "armaan r u ok??"... She signed seeing no sadness or tears in his eyes but a confidence inside it...a confidence of earning something precious soon...something which he is longing to earn...but confidence to earn, achieve wat? She again failed to understand

taking hold of her hand and looking straight into her eyes he smiled "hmmm im ofcourse im...its just that i don't understand that"

feeling he kissing her palm to reassure her she smiled with him as he continued "that y do people hate the sun...they don't understand he also burns himself and he is not that bad as they think as he is the one who grows the grass"

as the new words hit her all the reassurance he passed her mins ago vanished in the thin air...vanished like it never existed, "wat happ u can tell me...plz...your words r scaring me"

smiling genuinely seeing the true concern for him he took a step ahead leaving very little room between them...room where only thin air can pass, that too with slight difficulty, "nothing im just got inspired while reading a novel...was thinking of writing a novel...would u buy my book, i mean i wonder any one would like to read my pathetic book"

 he chucked seeing the concern expression got replaced by annoyed expression by her

knowing his next stupid lines will make her more annoyed he chucked further but smiled within too as the fact he came soo late at her place was bitter...he couldn't tell her that soon...very soon he was going to tell angie the TRUTH, "on a serious note would u be my co-writer...i mean u me together will be able to pull off writing atleast a average book"

as his joke took a toll on her and their close proximity made her weak she turned to walk away with a trembling heart which was still sacred becoz of his words

noticing she was walking away made him fell bad as he knew she was still effected by his words which was the last thing he wanted...pulling her back he wrapped his hand around her waist not wanting her to leave him tonight as tomorrow wat will happen he didn't knew

placing his finger on her lips he stopped her from saying anything, "shhh im seriously fine...arre im not a insane or something like that im a normal human being who gets sentimental emotional sometime, ONLY SOMETIMES but within hrs im fine...and trust me im fine now...yea i wasn't fine few hrs back but now im fine...DON'T WORRY"

as his words settled within her, realization drawn upon her...his one hand around her waist holding her possessively in his embrace, his two fingers on her lips, his piecing gaze staring at her...and seeing all this she felt her blood now racing against her week melted heart while a shade of red lays on her face too

sometime u really do not need to say im with u always...or rather im yours always...or i still love u only...ur eyes, behavior does say those things automatically

they knew they were together yet not together...they were CLOSE to each other yet FAR,

FAR yet NEAR...

perhaps with time one day they would be ONLY close by, near by and

far word will vanish from their world...leaving them to be together forever, never be apart

"i think i should leave its quite late" saying he looked away removing his hand around her waist and fingers from her lips BUT letting his lips set a curve...letting his and her lips smile too

finally successful in composing herself  she announced or rather informed him firmly after remembering his weird not soo pleasant talks "i will drop u as i can't let u go all alone"

hearing her concern coated talk he felt the love for her in his heart deepening, smiling at her now he questioned cheesely "i know world is changing but never knew now-a-days gurl goes to drop guy...when did the old tradition of guys dropping gurls changed??"

zipping her bag after checking all her stuff is there she retorted "well since guys like u were born"

seeing he crossed his arms while leaning on the window she reminded herself not to listen to any of his upcoming excuses "ooo i see but u know u will come to drop me than out of courtesy i will come to drop u and this endless cycle will go on"

"don't u dare make lame excuses as i will discard all of them...anyways i have a morning flight soo after i drop u i will go for my flight" she said while reaching out to take his hand in her delicate hand to pull him out of the house before he successfully comes with yet another excuse

********

as they entered his quiet home they heard a sweet chirpy voice yelling "SUPRISEEEE" which followed a song played on the player loudly

as the voice registered inside them a smile processed on armi's lips while ridz looked around to locate the corner from where this voice came into life

while she was scanned the house with her wide eyes curiously armi pulled his beautiful part of life from behind the piano who was grinning widely

and the next second she saw the most beautiful sight armi kneeling down hugging minnee with sparkling eyes and innocent smile

departing from the hug she saw the new shade of armi, a fatherly concern shade..."sweetheart how did u come here alone...how could u just"

"PA HAPPY FATHER'S DAY...ur the best and angie di sent a car for me as i requested her to help me to surprise u soo chill don't worry...and this is for u" hearing the words he stood the same position like a statue while minnee hugged him once again and planted a peak on his cheeks and placed his fav chocolate cake and certificate cum card saying world's best dad on his hand

while he was totally surprised ridz looked at them with slightly wet eyes...the little question she always had regarding their decision they took yrs back washed off...whatever happened or rather whomever they choosed was indeed right...the best decision they ever took and what they lost while taking that decision was definitely the price for this precious movements

today she felt more confident regarding their decision and there was no regret with it

while the father-daughter duo now exchanged their talks and filled the empty house with giggles, laugher n loud talk she stood there observing minnee...him...and them TOGETHER

noticing she was wearing kind of tom boyish clothes, looked quite fun filling and bold with innocence she couldn't help but smile plus seeing armaan was more a friend to minnee than dad her smile widened reaching every corner of her face...highlighting her beautiful face

suddenly minnee's eyes fell on her and saw her smiling at them...facing armaan she question "pa someone is there...i think she came with u"

realizing ridz was with him whom he forgot seeing minnee all of a sudden he kicked him mentally and walked towards her picking minnee in his arms

seeing minnee's eyes constantly on her she felt nervous...nervous for wat?? was something she couldn't understand

as they stood just infront of her she threw the thoughts aside...extending her hand she sweetly spoke up "her minnee...how r u doing"

"im good" she said looking from ridz to armaan to enquire who she is?? with narrow eyes

noticing the questioning look put up by minnee he smiled at her childish face "sweetheart she is ridhima...like angie, atul she too works with me"

"ohh your dad's colleague cum friend" she asked curiously looking at her

COLLEAGE? FRIEND? word rang inside them as the truth was they were definitely more than those two words

as a brief movement passed she answered minnee looking at her than at armaan "yea u got it right but now i can be your friend too only if u want too"

noticing she smiled nodding her head in approvement she smiled with them

as she talked to her more asking her about her likes and dislikes she was amused minnee was just like armaan not at all like a normal girls who loved dolls, barbie stuff...infact she loved outdoor n play station...she loved more of chewing gum instead of chocolates

and within mins she concluded she was totally different from her but one thing was common between them...ARMAAN...they both loved him...loved him to an unreachable height

all this while armi saw the little...or SLIGHT bonding between them...not much as they were opposite when likes and dislikes comes in question but he kept reminding himself opposite do attract which made him indeed happy but didn't amuse him as minnee was a gurl who loved interacting just like her mother

***************

after spending the whole day with minnee at the movie hall and mall finally dropping her at the hostel armi drove to fulfill his heart's first wish

"angie i actually i...actually im the one who ridz loved...no whom ridz loves...no no im the one whom u hate...shit no the one who is there in her past...freak i im loosing it" he mumbled standing at the door...with a heavy heart...but with a strange confidence... confidence that sooner or later everything will be sorted out

"armaan wat a surprise come in" smiling she welcomed him, 

glancing around as he entered the house his eyes fell on angie-ridz picture...he mumbled "sorry" to love of his life while crossing it as the truth was she would be upset knowing wat he did or rather wat he is going to do within mins

"atul? He is not there at home?" he questioned as they sat on the couch

handling him some chocolates she replied while noticing he looked tensed "he went for banglore cochin flight with ridz and sapna will be back tomorrow...anyways nice surprise"

nodding to angie he looked inside him one last time, to check with himself is he ready to except the harsh words, does he has soo much strength...moving his hand in his hair he took a deep breath decided to take the final call "actually angie i...i wanted to...the guy who...im"

failing miserably to utter the truth he questioned him 'y am i nervous?? after all this is wat i wanted right??'

signing he bend down sat on his knee just in front of her...while collecting all the courage he spoke up with tint of guilt, helplessness and love "angie im the one who was ridhima's past...the delhi guy"

after series of long mins seeing finally he looked up at her she calmed her grey cells n spoke up but still unsure what she should say at this movement "y r u telling me all this now??"

her words seemed soo odd to him as this was not he expected, "becoz...becoz i thought u should be known to this fact...but believe me angie i never meant to do all that" he answered as honestly as he could while she did notice he was talking honestly plus his helplessness, guilt look didn't slip her eyes

but somewhere the anger also was awake by now inside her which was big enough to cover everything else at that movement, "anjali my name is anjali...people close to my heart only call me angie"

her harsh words tore through him...pierced every inch of his heart...soul but then he was prepared for worst

he smiled sadly, but slightly was shock too as he expected a bigger reaction...more harsh one but little did he know angie knew about them before only she just wanted to see how many days the truth would be kept under wrapped

she had over heard his and ridz conversation on the day she by mistakely tried to introduced them in the office (this scene was in he end of pt 4 n sarting of 5) and from that day she is on a mission...mission to bring happiness in ridz life but how she was doing this?? And wat method she had adopted to achieve success in this mission was unique and something which no one can think of

but somewhere she felt horribly helpless as she was playing a game which she herself couldn't understand...a part of the game confused her...the worst part was she didn't knew who her component n partner was and finally will this game do something good in the end or rather would be profitable enough

"sorry" he almost mumbled but loud enough to be heard by her clearly

her expression changed hearing him, it became more hard...may be as hard as a rock "WOW how continent...destroy someone's life and then yrs later come and say sorry...k wat u expect me to say, ur welcome...your always welcome armaan, ALWAYS...happy to hear this"

a movement of uncertainly and awkwardness passed

a thought...a wish struggled to shine through his clouded mind in those movement which he decided to put in front of her "i...i want to...to rectify my mistake...want to change the whole life of hers and mine"

"by marrying ridz??"

nodding to her he quickly added "with ur and her parents permission" as the matter of fact

"and wat if i refuse??" as her words processed inside him he felt his emotions welling up inside him...ready to flow out...ready to erupt

"then...i...i will try to forget her" his voice cracked n heart seemed to hallow as he struggled to say hose difficult words

"good...do that...but it will not help...not at all...u will have to act rude to ridz...show arrogant behavior...show ur a" hearing her cold voice asking him do the most IMPOSSIBLE thing all the movements spent with ridz flashed infront of him

his mind started to fall in darkness...everything started to shrink...only one thing he could hear or see in that darkness, that he wanted to follow his heart...then unknowingly he interrupted angie "a inhuman person"

"yes show her this...as i can't trust u...i will never trust u, wat if again u leave her all alone??"

"somewhere your trusting me angie...as ur believing i will do as ur saying and i will always call u angie becoz may be im no longer close to your heart but u r and will always be" hearing him speak all this in a single breath not letting her to interrupt she was now completely bewildered this time

"do i have a option?" she finally retorted which brought a weird smile on his face

"well i don't know that but i know one thing for sure i love ridz, for a million reasons...it is a thing an indescribable feeling and i will love her always...and i will now never leave her side watever u believe me or not" saying he stood up ready to leave...And face n stop the storm of thoughts, emotions appearing inside him

as the whole thing now properly sinked inside he couldn't stop himself from cursing his heart for the first time

all this while angie noticed him carefully...she knew she had torn him and in this position driving home for him would not be a good idea...soo she almost ordered instead of giving out as a option to him, "u don't need to drive back home now its quite late, sleep in the guest room"

and as he turned to say something in return he saw the door of her room got slammed loudly

and thus the most horrible night started...which would certainly be long for angie-armaan

while short for their loved ones atul-ridz...two people who were unknown wat is going to knock at their door tomorrow...unknown to the new things planned by god....by destiny for all four of them

PART 10

Sometime when we expect something the least naa...itactually happens...and then the happiness surely doubles the amt...the happinessis soo deep that we cant see it...we r not close to it also...like we cant seehow deep the ocean or sea is nor we can measure it

-ridz dairy pg 51

************

As she sat on the edge of her huge bed she felt trappedwithin...a bundle of emotions growing inside her

there was soo much confusion inside her...soo manyunanswered question...wat she is doing is right or wrong?? Was the top mostquestion

few things were clear but few things soo distant that shejust couldn't understand them clearly

dialing the first no stored on her mobile she mumbleddesperately "i need u atul...i think i should have told u everything, nothidden anything from u"

but by fate she couldn't get through...all thanks to atul'slate night flight...

a part of her said she is doing right another saiddefinitely she is driving her mind on a wrong way ie doing something terrible

finally after torturing her brain...killing her sleep bystaying awake till sunlight lands on her window pale she concluded heraction...finalizing her course of action few important calls was all she neededto do and then she would change two people's life

the change would be good or bad well that was something she stillwas slightly confused but then her course of action was final now...leavingother things to god she picked her mobile...now only fate, time can tell her actionis right or wrong

************

on the other end of the house armaan was also notslept...and hardly blinked his eyes too

as he couldn't understand how the hell will be able to showridz how inhuman person he is

he knew this is the last thing he could ever do...this isdefinitely more difficult than passing the thousands tests to become apilot...and this will be the game which he would never be able to win...butwill this impossible ast be fulfilled? Now hats something he couldn't understand...maybe soon he may understand

hearing his mobile buzzing he stood up...keeping the phonewhich rang a min back he understood there is definitely no escape from thissituation...the phone was from crew control saying his tomorrow's roster hasbeen changed, for now he is flying to delhi layover flight with angie and ridz

as time was passing he could fell his heart under morepressure...more confusion...more head ache...more helpless n ofcourse more tornout n sad

knowing if he does wat angie wants and gets successful toohe would wash away all the love she has 4 him which would surely be unbearable...torturebut then 'this would be best for her naa??' He questioned himself n

secondly love that she holds 4 him is that weak that if canbe washed away?  this is wat he wouldknow soon...how strong is their love? Will surely be disclosed to him byeternity soon...may be very soon

***********

As he entered the office cabin to relax a bit before theworst and long flight he ever had starts he was shocked to see her sittingright infront of him holding a mirror doing her make-up and mugging somethingfrom the fat book which suppose to him was cabin crew manual

as he walked inside he noticed she was producing a mixtureof expression within seconds some weird expression like irritated, angry,feeling sorry, but sometime smiling too...smiling like she just climbed mountEverest...achieved something big

as he sat down she looked at him passing a cute smile andwithin seconds looked again at the fat book muttering something whileoccasionally glancing at him and at the mirror to apply her daily course ofmake up

as he by now knew she was busy he grabbed the opportunity tolook at her with his deep love as he knew after this flight gets over she wouldnever let him be near her as he was going to hurt her...all becoz his heartagreed to angie...'damm it' he cursed himself and his heart again

as he looked at her again while his hands played with paperholder he noticed today she had paid more attention on her make up...everythingwas just beautiful...her make up was in shades of brown...for a change she hadworn lenses too...

perfume?? Well she had doubled the amt he noticed, he smiledas his sharp senses noticed it was 212 sexy perfume...recognizing perfumes wassoo damm easy as he still remembered how much she loves perfume and had brought6-7 perfumes for her few days trip to delhi...'gurls' he muttered as he rememberedeven maya has fascination for perfumes...n all he did if he upset maya was buyher a perfume n then she would b fine

"damm this briefing" she said which brought hissenses back or rather pulled him to reality from his dreamland where he wasadmiring her while she was curled up in his arms

sitting up right with a bright smile he spoke up "wathapp? U look tensed"

as her eyes saw his bright smile she couldn't stop a similarsmile approach her lips too, "i have a briefing today with keerti dam shealways asks questions which r soo difficult"

"ohh thats bad"

"armaan can u buy me a Cadbury...u know whenever imnervous about anything and someone close to my heart buys me a Cadbury my testgoes well...i know its silly but can u please pleaseeeeeee buy me one" ashe watched her speak he couldn't stop smiling as he found her habit quite cuteand adorable plus hearing someone close to my heart made him smile reach everychord of his heart and every nerve of his face

" wat is making u smile?? I know it is silly but please"she questioned seeing him smiling...his eyes bright and happy

she sat there stunned thinking did she ask something wrongas she saw him walk out without saying a word

as she got up to follow him to apologize for something whichshe didn't knew she saw him coming with a dozen of chocolates and placing infront of her

going close to her he whispered in her ears "u will dowell, chill and ur demand forchocolate wasn't silly it was rather cute and adorable"

feeling he was now kissing her edge of cheeks almost inchesaway from her ear she smiled...placing her single pearl earring in her handwhich she forgot to wear he walked out of the office before things gets messyinside him' which definitely wouldn't be good

***********

"ur readyfor everything right?" she question seeing he just walked insideplane...while keeping an eye on ridz who was just checking the cabin last time

not able to understand is he ready to hurt her, he simplynodded to angie's question and walked away while remembering last two daysfight he had with himself constantly...fight which hardly let him eat or sleep

**********

"Hey ridz check this out...which is better red withgold work or silver work" pointing towards two mannequins she asked asthey were roaming on the streets of delhi after the flight which wasn't badeven the briefing went well

"both r good but angie y r u looking for weddinglenghas...who's wedding is coming up" she asked looking totally confusedfrom her behavior from the flight itself... sometime rudely to armaan andsometime like usual casually she just couldn't conclude wat has happening toher

"first choose one as my very close person is gettingmarried to his sweetheart very soon...date is not fixed but yeah i shouldbetter look the best in her wedding" as her warning rang in her mind shecouldn't come up with anyone close to angie who could be getting married butthen sometime we do forget some people right? It wasn't her fault to forgetherself only...that she could also be existing in angie's list

"close person?? Who is it angie??" he turns tolook at ridz to angie...not as confused like ridz as he knew maybe angie istrying to get ridz married to rahul...dr rahul garewal, he still remembered hisname, sapna had told him about ridz parents planning their marriage but ridzwasn't ready for it...'but after angie's plan may be she will be ready??' Hequestioned himself seeing ridz just got a second warning to first choose onefirst

"silver one is better and now tell me who is gettingmarried?? Do i know the bride or groom??" armi chucked seeing ridz stoodkeeping her hands on her hips totally annoyed and confused now

"yes u know both of them...k here is the pic of bothand something more, check it out by the time i will buy that lengha for me...comearmaan" she pulled him as something more was to be done...something whichwas equally important to HER...some clarification...some warning...some thingwhich would be good or bad

**********

Walking at a little distance while still looking at ridz,she thought one last time is her decision right?? But right now thinking timewas over...it was time for action...everyhing was decided n left to destiny

only thing was left was to speak up with armaan as she reallywanted to convey something to him right now itself...something straight fromher heart

which was important as she did not wanted anything wrong tohappen now in her best friend's life plus she  knew if anything bad happens with ridz she herselfn ridz wouldn't be able 2 take it

taking a deep breath she took the final call atlast"Armaan i thought of all things...i thought of u, ridz, her happiness andyour happiness...at last i concluded if u by any chance u act rudely to her shewill get unhappy only which i wouldn't like soo y not i should give u achance...but i still...how should i say this"

as she saw him nodding to say whatever she wants 2 say can say she continued "hmmm actually i like u but still don't trust u...but i trust ridz...and i HOPEu stand by her even when everyone else has fallen around her even i"

seeing she walked away after saying everything he spoke upwhich made her look bak slightly "i believe 'i trust u' is the biggestcompliment one can ever receive, i will wait for the day when i receive it fromu"

nodding her head 2 approve that she did hear him she walkedtowards the cab

*********

"today watever i have is becoz of u...i got a friendand sister in u...atul, he came to my life becoz of u, i still remember howsacred was atul to propose me then u helped me to propose him gosh that washilarious...k getting to the pt today i wanna give u something which u cantreasure forever as a token of our strong bond, that something will always bewith u I HOPE even when im not there...i grand u actually i ORDER U to get backwith ur delhi guy, ARMAAN...don't get shocked sweetheart and yea by now u knowwho is getting married or rather who is the groom and the bride...yes u got itright now lastly i hope i still stand on the first place on the list of themost precious people in your life, i better be"

as she finished reading the letter for the fifth time shesaw him walking towards her and angie sitting in the car to leave...still intrance she couldn't believe this is reality...is she dreaming yet again?? Shequestioned herself again and again...if yes she didn't feel like pinchingherself as she wanted to live this dream...atleast I have him in my dreams shethought...but if im not dreaming then?? Then i really would have him this timeforever?? Forever, yes i don't think i can have him for a little while only yetagain and be happy with this fact once again she concluded finally

seeing he was now standing besides her she pinched herself...blinkedher eyes endless times only to find she is right now living a reality...sweetreality...precious reality...sugar and happiness coated reality...reality whichshe had always dreamt of...only dreamt of
