"God how much time u took...im waiting for u from soo long...seems like ages" as he pulled her she quietly heard him while million question were sailing inside her

the most imp and recurring was "how did he enter the house i live on 14th floor did he climb the pipe NO that's impossible?? " as she started coming up with various option of how he  landed inside her house she didn't pay any attention to where he dragged her and finally where she stood or rather where they were standing

"ARMAAN" she yelled as she registered she was in his arms while he was standing on the trailing of her terrace...one step he took in his right they would be flying in the air n then ofcourse they wouldn't have a safe landing..."WAT, y r u yelling my name...i surely remember my name and stop trying to make me deaf" as he said he leaned on the wall behind him while staring at her angry face which still looked soo innocent as the thin wind stoked her...caressed her gently

"we will fall, i don't wanna die not now atleast...not after yesterday" as she finished he couldn't help but adore her little more...her frightened made her look more adorable...standing there looking at her in his arms he could say one thing "she is the only thing he was craving all these yrs, she was the one he wanted...she was the one his eyes always searched everywhere, at every dam place"
 
as her eyes trailed around she looked at the sun...who was setting, getting dawn...and the chippy birds were roaming in the cold wind as if celebrating their happiness...

"i love u" as she heard him saying these words she nearly forgot where they stood and how frightened she was mins back

it is said love does strange thing well something like this happened with her...all thanks to love she forgot those things soo easily...his eyes full of love and the feel of his arms around her made her land in the new world

his eyes didn't leave her form even for a second...while he wished he could kidnap her to a deserted island...where there was nothing except them

"will u have a unexpired relationship with me, the one which is called marriage??" as his words registered inside her she found tears developing in her eyes as these words were the one she longed from the day she found out how deeply she had fallen for him...realizing his heart and soul was waiting for an answer she drew back the tears which were developing in her eyes becoz today tears were the last thing she wanted..."yes i want an unexpired relationship with only u"


*****


entering her room she looked down feeling soft feathers on her feet as they were laid all over the flooring of her room...darting her eyes around she smiled seeing a small table was covered with a heart shape lit, as she glanced at him she heard him, "feathers for my feather soft lady love"

smiling, blushing at his statement they walked ahead feeling his arm around her...securely...and with tons of love

opening the lit she looked at the stuff, it had all the things which a to-be-bride gets as a shagun from her to-be- family...everything was perfect from red outfit to the matching ornaments and shagun sweets...it was just perfect basket full of shagun things, that too beautifully decorated...

"liked it??" as he questioned he looked at her turning and throwing her arms around him within seconds as if the happiness was at peak for her which she couldn't handle...it was like she just couldn't hold them as everything was happening when she didn't really expect them to happen...hugging back he silently thanked angie for helping him to arrange everything in a short span of time plus gave him the extra pair of keys she had of ridz's apartment
 

********


"where r u going?" hearing her question he smiled noticing how rightfully her tone sounded...

indeed she owned to know about my where abouts from now on, everything she should be known to about me as she is again a part of my life...part of my life smiling broadly he looked at her stopping his chain of thoughts as she was waiting for him to answer with a curious look plastered on his face

"im dropping u at angie's place, she called us home but i can't come as i have to meet minnee...its been two days i couldn't meet her becoz of flights" she looked at him driving the car, looking ahead as she thought should she ask him the set of question arising inside her from past few days

"armaan don't u think minnee should stay at home rather than hostel" atlas as she questioned she silently hoped he didn't mind her questioning his decision about his daughter but then she knew kids needs their family the most during their growing age

"i know i don't hold a right on her but just out of curiosity and concern i asked u this question...its your wish u want to answer the question or not" as she said in a breath he smiled stopping the car at the signal looking at her now with love and nothing more

"come on u do hold a right on everything i have, she is also one of the precious things i have soo u do own a right on her" as she heard him she felt as she is now not only part of him but also part of his belonging and life...his future and present life and this time forever as now nothing can come in between them...smiling at her own thoughts she looked at him holding her hand in his hands now..."now coming to ur question there is no day i ask her to come and live at home rather than hostel but she wants to be like maya...live independently...like maya, study in the hostel...she wants to just follow her mothers foot steps...she feels closer to maya in the walls of the hostel" seeing his eyes filling up she looked at him as his tone sounded that he indeed loved her and misses her alot

squeezing his hand she looked at him as he smiled at her as now he slightly composed himself "she is indeed happy there and comes home every week actually whenever she wants to...sometime she is home for a week while sometime for a day...i don't want to force her into something which she doesn't wanna do" nodding at him she approved his wise decision thinking he was doing right...making minnee strong and known to the outside world but at the same time being with her always in his own ways

plus he is only an hr away as her hostel isn't that far from his place... she smiled as she ended her thoughtful journey which mentally solved her doubt and relaxed her tensed blood cells

"atul they r here...plz sweetheart don't be harsh on him, she loves him...u know that right? Soo plz don't create more problems for them, they have already suffered alot" signing angie walked towards the door hoping atul isn't harsh plus agrees to help them out...she knew atul has the capable to convince ridhima's parents for the marriage which was important for armaan as he is wanted to marry only if ridhima's parents accept his apology and bless them with their wishes but she knew it was difficult for any parents to forgive a guy who left their daughter mid way

she smiled remembering how over the yrs shashank and padma ridhima's parents trusted atul more than ridhima even when he fooled them that he is their son-in-law; ridz's husband for almost a yr...they understood atul and his intention weren't bad as he wanted ridz happiness...wanted ridz not to marry a guy whom she didnt knew...not well enough to spent her whole life with him

"i want you to fill this and return to me as soon as soon" as atul said ridhima looked at the brown envelop in front of her...sacred to even open it as his friend cum buddy looked angry on her for hiding armaan was the only guy she loved...plus he expected armaan to be here but he wasn't there

seeing angie looking at atul with question marked look she looked at the envelop placed on the tableSmiling to herself she looked ahead changing the gear...all her thoughts were proved wrong, last few days has been a surprise package...Angie accepting Armaan then brought him in her life back...then Atul also accepted the facts and promised her he will convince her parents but was slightly angry as Armaan didn't accompany her to their place

PART 13

Smiling a bit more she pulled the car at the signal...glancing at theenvelop kept in her lap she smiled, just couldn't believe hereyes...blinking her eyes she assured herself as she picked the envelopand as she opened it she looked at the wedding card's heading RidhimaGupta weds Armaan Malik

Caressing the card she looked at the date and time which was only left to get filled

"The no your calling is switched off" she signed hearing the operatorrepeating the same thing for the 50th time...remembering he gotsuddenly pulled off for a flight the movement he reached Minnee'shostel she signed, how she wished, carved to meet him right now...tellhim the good news...just hold him close to her... express herhappiness... tell him how complete she is feeling from last few daysbecause of him... just wrap herself within him

Hearing the horns she hit her head slightly as she gave life to the car


**********


Picking her phone she placed to her ears... sleepily she whispered"hey" feeling highly tried as flights and Armaan has occupied her mosthrs from past fifteen days but she felt like she has been wrapped,covered with happiness from last few weeks from the day Anjali broughtArmaan back into her life...from that movement days went like minutesas Armaan showered her with love and she felt nothing but her heartsour in bliss

"Good morning princess, how is my little sweetheart doing?" she smiledand laughed hearing him...as sometimes he treated her like a fragilebaby who is too small and can't take care of herself but then she lovedhis this side of him too as it made her feel special and wanted

"I'm fine...where are u? U have a flight scheduled for today afternoonnaa?" as she said she looked side way towards the table clockdisplaying 12:30 pm

"You know what first i used to love my work but now-a-days my love forit has been decreasing" frowning at his statement she pushed theblanket covering her and sat up wondering what on earth happened as hepaused taking a deep breath he continued "because of THIS, THIS work idon't get much time to spend with you or Minnee"

Laughing at his false accusation towards his work she picked herself upfrom her bed as she dropped the thought of sleeping more even when sheknew she doesn't has any flight for the day

"Your such a kid, u can't spend each waking movement with me anyway u will be bak by late evening right so"

"So we are having our dinner together and" as he added she smiledfeeling his voice sounding like he just couldn't wait till the nightapproaches them

"And I love you" he continued making her smile more as she walked around the room nothing more than fresh "and i will miss you"

"And bye for now" she finished the sentence for him as she disconnectedthe call running towards the door hearing the door bell ringing onceagain


*********


Closing the door she wondered who rang the bell and ran away ..."may beit was some kid" she concluded as she dismissed her line of thoughtswalking towards her room...feeling a sudden pull within seconds shestood just in his arms...where she belonged always

"Someone is looking very pretty this morning" he finally repliedgetting over how pretty she looked in her knee length single strap bluenightie while she was still starring at him, with a surprise look

"Tum...flight" as she tried to ask she felt his cold fingers on herlips which made her body shiver very slightly and a smile landed on herlips seeing him like always

"It got delayed at right time, even the plane understands my feeling"caressing her thick hair with his long fingers he looked at hershooting her eye brow up in a questioning manner "he knows I wanted tomeet owner of my heart"

"Ohh yeh baat hai janaab" recognizing her teasing tone he smiled aslast few days he has got addicted to her teasing, smiling face,twinkling eyes, LOVE...addicted to everything relation to her and nowwithout it his day is incomplete

"Hmmm yeah hi baat hai madam" grabbing the spare keys of her housewhich were almost lying outside his pocket she smiled wickedly as helocked her lips with her suddenly...kissing her like he wasfamished...hungry

"Now let me see how you enter the house" she mumbled to herself underher breath clutching the keys in her arms tightly as he finallyunsealed their lips making her breathless like always

"I saw that, give me back" she smiled innocently at him...smiled showing she just couldn't understand what he was trying to say

"Don't try to fool me by that innocent smile" seeing her laughing wholeheartedly at his statement as she stood in his arms and her handswrapping the keys...hiding from him he just couldn't stop smiling butthen as trances of mischief popped in him he smiled wickedly

And within minutes his dimples deepened seeing her laughing like neverbefore as he was tickling her...like there is no tomorrow...and theempty house boomed with her laughter and his smile


*********


"Madam please fill the register" she smiled at the middle aged lady asshe took hold of the pen...staring at the question 'relation to thechild?' she thought what should she write, what was the aptword...family friend she whispered to herself as she wondered how wouldshe handle Minnee alone...it was not that Minnee was a difficult child,it was just that she felt sacred to roam around with her all aloneunlike old times where she accompanied Armaan as he wanted to spendtime with both of them together...but then she knew she is feeling afoolish person to be sacred of such a small thing and "it would be awonderful day" she mumbled as she knew today she would do everythingthat Minnee likes or wants as today is her day and before going for theflight Armaan had requested her too, that if she could make Minnee feelspecial today on behalf of him and not even thinking for the secondtime she promised him she would do it


**********


"Your just like your dad...totally different unlike other kids, girlsspecially" she smiled at Minnee as she saw how boyish her habits areand so were her choices are...tomboy was name which suited Minnee shethought

"Actually I am like my mom, just like her i hate all girly stuff...uknow make-up and dressing up, wearing short skirts and almost nothingtops, wearing jewelry everywhere hand, neck and all" as her voice beganto get lower with each passing word she looked at her with emotionswelling up inside her too

"Your fine sweetheart" she almost whispered as she saw the pain visible clearly in her eyes and felt helpless

"Yea I was just wondering to shop more, u know get a higher bill fordad as its my day today, daughters day" she smiled slightly as she knewshe has to live with the fact that her mom is not going to come backand ofcourse she wouldn't like her daughter feeling sad and crying sowhy not stay happy and make her mom up there smile too with happiness

"So for whom are we waiting??" Ridhima beamed seeing a slight smilealso on her pretty face as with that baby doll smile she looked perfectin her eyes


**********


"One last ice-cream not one more, u better note it down" listening tothe warning Minnee frowned looking at Ridhima for any help as Armaanwas abundant

"Your so harsh, u could say the same thing in a polite tone too??" shequestion as she saw Minnee smile vanished hearing Armaan slight coldwords

"Ridhima don't spoil her, she is just getting too much for icecreams...and has started avoiding her nutritious meals too" paying thebill of the wonderful dinner they all had he looked at her with astraight face...one thing he just couldn't see was Minnee not making apoint to have proper meal and having more of junk, chocolates andice-creams...even after remembering the fact that all his life he hasbeen mostly indulged in junk and etc unhealthy food items

"Armaan your just over reacting i am just saying to not be rude andtalk politely that's it, I am not telling you to buy her thirdice-cream" as she almost ordered him he smiled seeing the slight bondbetween Ridhima and Minnee


*********


seeing Minnee whispering something in Ridhima's ears Armaan narrowedhis eyes wondering what is kept secret from him...as Minnee gave her ahigh five and giggling placed a peak on her cheeks he smiled justcouldn't take his eyes off from them, from his family

"bye sweetheart, don't worry I promise I will come on time" whisperingas slowly as she could she ran her hands through her hair, gentlyruffling it as she wondered where Minnee wants to take her tomorrow andwhy did she asked her not to tell Armaan also
