Chapter 10

Okay, this may have been the worst thing I've written as of now. I'm really sorry for the crappiness of this chapter. plz Reviews :)

"Oh. My. God"

ridz's jaw dropped as the black gates swung open to reveal a magnificent, sprawling villa. A fountain trickled quietly in the courtyard, filled with koi and other exotic fish. She stared at armaan incredulously. He shrugged nonchalantly.

"It's just our holiday house. Mother just had to renovate again" he said flippantly.

ridz could hear kirti huff in annoyance as she nodded stiffly. She barely noticed the maid opening the car door for her, walking out in a daze. armaan shook his head at her innocence. He pushed open the double doors to the house. ridz gasped.

Nobody told her armaan malik was filthy, let's-roll-in-a-pile-of-money rich.

Sunlight filtered through the pristine doorway, lighting up the grand foyer. There were five different hallways, each probably leading into a beautiful room or ten. Maids flittered about cleaning. It was like it was straight out of an idol drama. ridz was in awe. A bubble of giddiness grew inside her stomach.

She got to live in a house like this?

armaan rolled his eyes. The poor-girl-living-with-rich-boy clich was almost too much for him to take! kirti beamed at the dazzled expression on ridz's face. She clapped giddily.

"I knew you'd love our home! Oh wait, I mean, your home" she winked at a blushing ridz.

"It's a very nice house, Mrs. malik" ridz stressed on the 'very'.

shubankar nodded, before glaring at his obviously bored son.

armaan, why don't you show ridz around?" he pointedly said.

armaan sighed, before begrudgingly agreeing. He turned to ridz. She looked so innocent, with her wide eyes and pouty lips.

All he wanted to do was grab her and...

armaan shook his head to clear his thoughts. He was in his parent's house, for God's sake!

"When you're finished drooling, I'll take you around the house" he quipped, a smirk playing on his lips.

She blushed. armaan tugged on ridz's arm. She grinned as they made their way up the elegant stairway. They traipsed down the abnormally long hallway, armaan frequently pointing to different rooms. ridz nodded profusely, trying to keep up with him. She was going to get lost soon!

"And there's my bedroom, the guest bedroom, which I guess is now your bedroom, and my brother's..." armaan trailed off his rant when he heard a girl giggling in one of the rooms.

ridz looked at armaan, scandalised. He brought a girl to wait for him in his parents' house? armaan blinked innocently back, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Hey, that's not my room! That's my brother's" he explained, cringing as loud moans could be heard.

ridz made a face.

"I can see how you guys are related"

armaan stuck out his tongue, before banging unceremoniously on the door.

"Robbie ! Put your girlfriend's clothes back on! Mum and Dad are downstairs and I'm pretty sure they can hear you guys going at it!" he yelled.

There was a crash, like a lamp had been knocked over, and a thump, like someone had fallen out of the bed, before the door swung open to reveal a handsome, but disheveled boy. His handsome face was flushed, and his clothes were rumpled, but ridz could make out familiar straight nose and princely stance in him. No wonder girls fall over their feet for the malik boys, she thought ruefully. Even me. ridz shook her head of her wandering thoughts as she smiled politely at robbie. He gave a sheepish grin, before turning to armaan, his eyes flashing nervously.

"You don't think mum and dad heard, do you?"

armaan chuckled, slapping his brother on the back.

robbie, you know the walls are thicker than your head. They wouldn't have even heard World War Three up here, let alone you and your girlfriend" armaan smirked and cheekily winked at his younger brother.

robbie flushed, and punched armaan on the shoulder. As armaan winced, robbie cast his eyes on ridz. ridz offered a small wave.

"Hi. I'm Riddhima gupta" she smiled brightly, hoping it would wash away the awkwardness.

It didn't. robbie continued to stare, before turning to armaan.

"It's her, isn't it? The one you knocked up? Mum and Dad found out, didn't they? Did they totally freak on you? Did they make you take responsibility? Is she going to be living with us now?" he fired questions at armaan.

armaan sighed.

"Yes. To all of them"

robbie burst out laughing.

"I knew playing around with all those girls like that would come back and bite you in the-"

robbie! You're taking too long!"

A petite girl with an adorable smile appeared by robbie's side, pouting cutely. She looked at him, then at armaan, then at ridzThe girl cocked her head.

"Am I interrupting a family reunion?" she piped up.

robbie swung his arm around her shoulders, his forehead resting against hers.

"Nah, Selena. My brother just introduced me to my future sister-in-law" he replied, affectionately pinching her nose.

Selena gasped.

"So it's her?" she pointed excitedly at ridz.

armaan punched his brother on the shoulder.

"You told her?" he asked incredulously.

"He tells me everything" Selena happily stated.

ridz smiled sweetly at the young couple in front of her, before huffing indignantly.

"You talk about me at home?" she threw armaan a dirty glare.

armaan shrugged and offered an apologetic smile. ridzstomped her foot, crossing her arms across her chest. robbie grinned, his arm still wrapped protectively around his girlfriend.

"Welcome to the family, riddhima "

"Oh. My .God"

"Shut up, angie

"Oh. My. God"

"Shut up, muskaan"

"I can't believe she did it"

"Is she really going to move in with armaan?"

"As in Armaan malik, playboy extraordinaire armaan?"

"As in Armaan malik, I change my girlfriends everyday, armaan?"

"As in-"

"Yes, that armaan malik !" ridz crossed her arms across her chest and glared at Shaangie and muskaan.

angie shrugged.

"Just making sure" she piped up.

muskaan  nodded in agreement. ridz groaned, flopping onto the bed beside her two friends and her half-filled suitcase.

"Do you guys think I'm doing the right thing?" she asked, wringing her hands nervously.

muskaan sighed. angie shook her head knowingly.

"You're doing this because you want your baby to have a warm, happy family, right?" muskaan queried, knitting her brows together.

ridz nodded.

"Then of course it's the right thing. No mother-to-be wants their child to be without a father. Even if it is armaan" angie lightly joked.

ridz smiled half-heartedly, before closing her eyes and deeply sighing.

"I hope it is. I just want this baby to come into the world without any more dramas"

"I don't know about that" muskaan  remarked.

ridz and angie looked at her quizzically. muskaan rolled her eyes.

"Oh, come on! You know you're starting to show,ridz" she pointedly looked at ridz's slightly bulging stomach.

ridz groaned, and put her head in her hands. She blew her hair out of the way, before looking up back at her friends, biting her lip.

"Well then'" she trailed off, groaning again.

angie patted her knee sympathetically. She couldn't imagine what was going through ridz's head right now. Her friend's life had too much drama! ridz sighed. It wasn't like she had much of a choice of what to do.

"I guess we'll just have to see how it goes, and go with the flow" she said, shrugging her shoulders.

ridz stood up and continued to pack her clothes, leaving angie and muskaan speechless, their mouths hanging open.

"Wow" angie murmured.

ridz raised an eyebrow as she shoved a couple of her dresses in the suitcase.

"What?"

muskaan  chuckled.

"armaan really has been rubbing off on you, with the whole carefree, happy-go-lucky attitude"

ridz laughed heartily, secretly agreeing with muskaan. The bubble of giddiness grew.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How much stuff do you have?" armaan asked incredulously as he looked at the pile of boxes the movers placed in front of his house.

ridz shrugged.

"I'm a girl. We like to shop when we're upset. I'm pregnant. We get upset a lot"

armaan scoffed, rolling his eyes. ridz grinned, blinking innocently up at him. armaan sighed. He was such a sucker for puppy dog eyes. Or maybe it was just ridzs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click.

A smirk appeared on her face as her camera phone captured ridz and armaan going into his house, huge grins on their faces. She looked at the papers in her hand.

A doctors' confirmation that ridz was pregnant.

The girl quickly snapped a clear picture of the certificate on her phone. It was handy to be the daughter of the hospital's chairperson. And it was even handier to be a total bitch. If armaan hadn't used her like some toy and tossed her away like he did a month ago, she wouldn't be doing this right now. But he did.

And now he was going to pay.

She scrolled down her contacts, before deciding to send the pictures and the documents to the whole college. The girl laughed obnoxiously, a malicious glint in her eye. She could imagine the gossip and chaos that would ensue, blowing both armaan's playboy and ridz's good girl reputations. Poor ridz, the girl thought derisively. First she gets knocked up at 20, then she'll have no friends after this scandal.

She couldn't wait until Monday.
