Chapter 4
FINALE
His tears stopped as abruptly as they had come. The remaining drops contoured around her petite frame and lost themselves in the soft fabric of her torn top. Riddhima gupta flinched. As long as he was crying she did not care. Now the whole scenario had flipped. His shallow breaths caressed the peaks of her femininity, his hand slid lower. Riddhima gasped as she attempted to push him away. Armaan malik tore his face form her flesh. Looking her in the eye. He spoke what Riddhima knew what was inevitable. "You ready to talk miss gupta."
5 words. 5 words thats never sounded worse together. She knew she had to. He was not dumb. Bearing even his emotional state ' if he had one that is ' anyone could figure this much out. Her response to her own abduction was so deviated.
Gulping the saliva down she looked into his eyes. Not even attempting to sort out herself, she structured her words in her head. Riddhima knew he would ask questions. She felt... well.. stupid. How could she have done this.
"Look Armaan... this whole kidnapping scenario was set up by me." She inhaled. Not feeling as lost as he had before.
His lips crooked into a smile. "I figured that."
Riddhima gupta looked into his blue shields once again. The orbs had disappeared as they had come. Frustration built up in her again. His smile so teasing yet challenging. For what though? She wondered.
Words just trickled out of her in a instance. She knew he had to know. "This whole thing was a set up. I knew about Raina and what he does. This search for you has took me 6 years armaan. I am acquainted with each second of your life. I knew where you were, what you were doing, who you were with. It was just a matter of the right time. The right opportunity. Raina thinks he's built a trap around me for my most valuables - she allowed herself a chuckle ' little does he know that this trap was built by me for Raina, for his most VALUABLE." She looked him in the eye and continued.
"YOU!" she finished. Riddhima gupta looked at him again. His legs crossed. His face curved into a smirk.
"Quite a plan miss gupta." His face void of everything. His poker face hiding everything behind it.
"As long as it worked. It was worth it." For the first time in her life, she wondered if it WAS worth it?
"You didn't have to find me..." He spoke after a while. Riddhima shook. She knew it. This was the question she had been pondering to herself over the last 6 years. 6 YEARS... thats was a heck of a long time. For who? The creature sitting across the room? Him?? really?? her grandfather had died. She didn't have to find him... she tried to imagine what she could have done in the last 6 years. Holidays... boyfriends... enjoyed her life maybe... what drove her on to find him.. The questions she still pondered over in the last 6 months.
Was it really worth he... WAS HE REALLY WORTH IT??
answer: she didn't know... she couldn't know.
He watched her face reach peaks and valleys. Armaan malik knew what he threw on her. He understood. He already knew what she had to tell him. Heck after knowing who she was he guessed that much. Money to Raina was like honey to a bee. Armaan realized she MADE herself get kidnapped so she could meet him. But why?
Shashank gupta had been the one who wanted to find him. He died. Why did she bother? She doesn't even know him and still she found him... and now what?? Shashank wanted to find him in order to make his life better. He wanted to make that kid's life... the kid was long gone... what could she get out of him now... he had drifted too far out into the water that anyone who wanted to take him ashore would drown with him... and still she came... why??
That was the answer he was searching for and judging by the looks on her face.. so was she... It looked like she had just been hit hard by the wave of reality and it had uprooted her existence.
"Why did you find me riddhima?" He asked. Not knowing himself what made him ask that question.
"I.. I don't know..." She sighed. Her words a mere whisper. She repeated them for him to hear. "I don't know.."
and again but louder... "I DON'T KNOW!!!!" she shrieked. Tears ran down her face.
She had spent her life finding this one man... why?? 3 lettered word that questioned her existence.
Armaan watched her tears run and run until her eyes ran dry. The last salty drops hanging just on the skin of her chin.
Something twitched in the middle of armaan body. Something hurt. But what? It was too early yet but he knew. He cared. For her.. for his life for the sake of them.
Things were yet to be taken care of... things were yet to be resolved... to be confessed... they had a long way to go but once in his life armaan wanted to take the slow path... with her... for them....
Armaan leaned forward and cupped her face in his hands. The two lone tear drops were soon consumed by him. Riddhima smiled. His shields melting... forever maybe... forever would take time and she was willing to give him that. His eyes spoke for him and he realized he had gotten his answer. Why she was looking for him...
Riddhima knew she realized it long back. It had just dawned on her now. She had accepted it. She looked into his eyes as he inched forward. Clasping her lips in a hot searing kiss, she parted for him and consumed him with tantalizing depths. Parting from him riddhima gupta looked into his eyes and realized.
It had always been worth it...

hey guys.. shocked... ? Lolz... well here I am ' and here I go... hehe... I know unexpected... but then again... I like taking the route not taken... :P this was the best I could do... I kno much delayed and the the final part...
quite a lot I wanted to say about this... you might have different views on my take on the particular ending.. I know it was a bit different but thats how I wanted it to be... I wanted to pen down something extreme and you lot are the judges and tell me if I succeeded... I am all for happy endings but this might not be an ending .. I might write a sequel.. if you give a good response to it... the ending was just a touch on their realization... I didn't intend to write a 'I love you' between them and I hope I made it quite clear as in to why... things aren't perfect in life and love at first sight is one of them.. it doesn't happen to the majority and this was just my take on how it can... :D
if I do write a sequel it will be developing their love and a proper confession... at this point however I feel content at wrapping it up here... :D I hope no one minds it too much... alas I have a weird feeling this part is well a bit crap... you decide...
