Riddhima then looked towards Aryan who was gazing her face with a guilt in his eyes....Riddhima started moving towards Aryan......

 

Riddhima (to Aryan) - I m sorry bhaiya...(sobbing)

 

Without saying a single word Aryan hugged her tightly.....and Riddhima too hugged him....

 

Aryan - I m sorry RPrincess..mujhe tum par iss tarah nahi chillana chahiye tha...i m really sorry...

 

Riddhima - Nahi Bhaiya i m sorry..mujhe aapko pareshan nahi karna chahiye tha....i promise main ab kabhi aapko pareshan nahi karoongi..pakka

Armaan was satisfied that Riddhima understood every words uttered by him....He smiled hearing her....

 

Aryan - Wah.....ye sab tu kah rahi hai???tune kahan se sikha ye sab????

 

Riddhima looked towards Armaan who smiled seeing her looking towards him....

Aryan - Aur wo acha dost kaun hai????

 

Riddhima - Hai koi....main aapko kyon bataoon...

 

Aryan - Oye hoye mere princess ab secrets bhi lagne lagi...waise mujhe pata hai wo kaun hai.....Thanks Armaan...

 

Armaan smiled....

 

Then Aryan holds Riddhima's hand to take her to his car but when he feel something wet....he takes a look to her hand and found it bleeding ....and her hand was tied with a handkerchief...

 

Aryan (tensed) - Ye???kaise hua???

 

Riddhima - Bhaiya wo zara si chot lag gayi...

 

Rahul - Ye tujhe zara si chot lag rahi hai....

 

Then Armaan told them the story....how he came there and protect her from that fatal accident......and then how he wrpped her hand with his handkerchief...

 

Aryan - Thank u sooooo much Armaan........tumne jo kuch bhi hamare liye kiya hai...pata nahi uska ahsaan main kaise chuka paoonga....

Riddhima was not talking to Armaan.....Armaan was trying hard to talk with Riddhima and Karan was trying to take advantage of this situation.....

 

Armaan - Basket meri baat to suno....

 

Riddhima - Mujhe kuch nahi sunna Armaan....

 

Armaan - Main mazak kar raha tha basket...

 

Riddhima - But i m serious mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni...

 

Karan - Riddhima wo mujhe tumse kuch poochna tha...

 

Riddhima - Haan poocho Karan.....

 

Armaan got angry over Karan for interfaring inbetween them............

 

Armaan - excuse me Karan mujhe basket se thori deir baat karni hai..(now this was the time for karan to get angry )

 

Riddhima - par mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni

 

Armaan holds Riddhima's hand and take her to a side where no one was there.....Karan was watching all this..Armaan was just dragging Riddhima very rudely and this was hurting Riddhima.....

 

Riddhima - Armaan mera haath choro.......leave my hands....

 

But Armana didn't leave her rather dragged her more....

 

Riddhima (now tears in her eyes) - Armaan...u r hurting me..please...

 

Armaan turned and found Riddhima pleading him to leave her as it was hurting her..He rapidly Leaved her hands and caressed her hand...

 

Armaan - I m sorry Riddhima..i didn't intend to hurt u..i m really sorry....but

 

Riddhima - but  kya??

 

Armaan (coming closer to her) - Riddhima kal raat main mazak kar raha tha....main tumhe aapni party mein nahi bulaoon ye kaise ho sakta hai......afterall meri life tumse hi shuru hoti hai aur tumse hi khatm...........(he just can't control himself at that moment)

Armaan (correcting himself) - I mean ab tum meri special frnd ho...aur Armaan Mallik ke life mein unke special frnds ki ek bahut important jagah hoti.....aur main tumhe ek special invitation dena chahta tha....

 

Riddhima - Special Invitation.....???

 

Armaan - haan.....ek minute...

Armaan took out a packet and handle it to Riddhima..

 

Riddhima - Ye kya hai....

 

Armaan - Khol ke to dekho..

 

Riddhima opened it to find a cute teddy bear holding a card.....This was written on the card:

Riddhima was speechless after reading that......she felt guitly that she scolded Armaan for nothing....

 

Riddhima - I m sorry Armaan.....

 

Armaan - Kyon tum nahi aaogi????

 

Riddhima - Arey i will definitely come Armaan.....main to tumhe sorry iss liye kaha kyon ki...

 

Armaan (c/b) - Tum aaogi bas mere liye itna hi kafi hai...tumhe sorry kahne ki koi jarurat nahi hai....par basket tell me one thing..maine tumhe invite nahi kiya to tumhe itna bura laga.....kyon??? mujhe to laga tha ki tum meri party mein nahi aana chahti....

 

Riddhima - Nahi wo main.......main..

 

Armaan - Haan tum,.....bolo..

 

Riddhima - Armaan....class ke liye late ho raha hai..

 

She ran from there.....leaving Armaan to smile to himself....

Karan - It's ok guys...chill....i think Armaan has the full right to select his frnds....and i don't want to force him....but thanks....

 

Armaan gives Karan a "U R GOING TO DEAD" look....Karan leaves the place..

 

Rahul - Anyways where is the party dude??

 

Armaan - KaSh club at 7pm....

 

Rahul - KaSh club....wow yaar bahut suna hai iske baare mein.....finally ab mujhe chance milega iss club mein jaane ka...

 

Armaan smiled...while Riddhima was lost in  her own world....She was thinking abt her convo with Armaan before the class....

 

Rahul - Ridzi tu to mere saath hi aayegi na.....

 

Riddhima who was lost somewhere else didn't answered him....

 

Rahul - Riddhima!!

 

Riddhima (coming back to reality) - Haan...kuch kaha kya tumne...

 

Rahul - Tu kahan khoyi hui hai??

 

Riddhima - Nahi kahin nahi...

 

Armaan - To basket aa rahi ho na tum.???

 

Riddhima nodded.....and Armaan smiled....

 

Something bad was cooking in Karan's mind....

 

 

Aryan's Office...

 

Khusi was not talking to Aryan because of the last night....and Aryan was trying hard to talk to her.....He knew that he had done wrong the last night..........He had over reacted........

 

Khusi - Sir Mr. Verma ki file ready hai....we need ur signature....

 

Khusi handled him the file and was going when Aryan called her..Khusi stopped but didn't turned...Aryan stands up from his seat and moved towards her..

 

Aryan - Khusi i m sorry for the last night...i m extremely sorry....maine kuch jyada hi bol diya tha...

 

Khusi turned to face him...She was crying....

 

Khusi (sobing) - Jab kuch bolna chahiye tab to aap kuch bolte nahi....aur....

 

Aryan (moving closer) - aur....

 

Khusi turned again and started going when Aryan hold her stand and pulled her....due to the force of pull she crashed into his chest......Tears were flowing from her eyes....Arayn using his thumb wiped her tears....and then put the strands of hairs falling on her face behind her ear..........Khusi shivered due to his touch.....and closed her eyes....anticipating more.....But she opened her eyes to find Aryan standing far from her...respect for Aryan grew more in her heart.....He could have taken advantage of this situation but he..He was sucha nice guy....

 

Aryan - Mujhe tumse kuch kahna hai...

 

Khusi (to herself) - Aaj I love u ki jagah Mr. Sharma ki file ke baare mein matt kahna...

 

Aryan heard this and smiled...

 

Aryan - Main jab bhi tumhe dekhta hoon..mera dil mere kaboo mein nahi rahta.....jab bhi tum mere pass hoti ho to sab acha lagta hai par jab bhi main tumhe kisi aur ke saath dekhta hoon to mujhe bilkul acha nahi lagta.....I just wanna say that i,......I ......I love u...aur main tumhe kissi aur ke saath nahi dekh sakta..i love u Khusi...

 

He closed his eyes not dare to meet her gaze..He was damm nervous and only he knew taht this was the world's most difficult work....

Khusi smiled seeing him closing his eyes....He moved towards him....and kissing him on his cheeks said "I LOVE U TOO"

 

Aryan opened his eyes in shock...He was vry happy knowing that she too loves him....He hugged her,.....and she too hugs him...
