OS 2
A girl comes down the stairs dressed in a beautisul neon pink saree with a beautiful smile adorning the face. Her neck had a small but cute and elegant mangalsutra; her maang filled with sindoor and hands filled with bangles tinkling all the while as she set the breakfast table. She had set the plate and was pouring some juice in a glass when a male voice was heard shouting out for the maid just from behind, startled her so badly that the jug fell down with a loud thud.
As she turned around there he stood 6 feet tall well built muscular body dressed in a dark brown and white suit. As soon as she saw him her body language changed inevitably. In order to clean the mess she tried to move back a little when he held her hand tightly and pulled her making her dash directly into his chest. The maid came in running hearing the commotion and saw this cute couple standing face to face lost in each other unaware of the surrounding. The scene was rare as he; Armaan Mallik; The famous business tycoon was hard to be found in such situations. Right now he was lost in his wife Mrs. Riddhima Mallik whom he loved irrevocably. Even she did but just that his temper was always soo high that he was really uncontrollable at times. Both had never expressed ther love till date in words . He was known very well for his bad temper but since she entered his life his anger had subsided a little. she always managed to control his temper someway or the other. Uhh uhh uhh but before you guys think that it was love marriage let me tell you that you are soo wrong! It was an arranged marriage; and a typical one where these two had not even seen each other before their engagement ceremony. But just that one meeting was enough to make them fall for each other badly. It had just been 2 weeks for their marriage but everybody could see that they were the perfect choice for each other!
Both were into the moment when the running maid who had entered the dining area brought them back.
A: Kya kar rahi ho tum. Jara bhi dhyaan nahi rakh sakti? She could easily see his eyes filled with anger which made her a little scared.
R: Vo main...galti se...gir gaya...aap please ghussa mat hoiye subah subah. Main abhi saaf kar deti hu. As she again tried to move away he pulled her back this time a little harshly.
A: Tumhara dhyaan kaha rehta hai? Can't you see neeche toota hua kaanch hai har jagah. Be where you are varna chot lag jaayegi!
R: Par aapko der...his one stern look was enough to shut her up. He signalled the maid to clean it quickly whereas she just stood still next to him. As the maid was done with his work he made Riddhima sit on the chair next to him. She could still see that he was angry so she did not dare retort. Not that she was scared of him; ya strange but she was the only person in the house who wasn't scared of him usually; but she respected him a lot. And she knew that he had a softer side too; but whenever he was angry you better let him his way or else God helps!
A: Ab tum shaanti se yaha baitho mere saath aur naashta karo. Tumhe apna chodkar har cheej ka khayal hota hai; you are always being so careless towards yourself. And there he was; back to his loving and caring side which was only towards his family or closed ones that she had observed now. Last 2 weeks had passed away soo soon and they both were just busy with all the traditions and customs. But in all the chaos it was only the night that they could come together and have a small talk. She had noticed till now that though he was a very short tempered person but never did he loose his temper without a reasonable issue. He hated carelessness and she was the epitome of it when it came to herself. It was their first day alone today as all the guests had finally left and his mom dad were back to Delhi; in their busy routine.
R: Jee vo toh main kar lungi par aap Kaka ko kyu bula rahe the? Koi kaam tha?
A: Haan vo meri tie nahi mil rahi thi.
R: Jee main abhi...
A: Will you just sit down! Mujhe tie koi bhi de sakta hai; tum bas shaanti se naashta karo aur mujhe bhi karne do. She just smiled at him and continued her breakfast. As soon as she finished her breakfast she quickly got upand went to their room. Smiling at her he nodded his head as he knew she must have gone to remove his tie for sure. Finishing his breakfast he too went to his room to find her with a tie in her hands walking towards him. He simply smiled and stood in front of her so that she could do the needful. She put the tie around his neck and started tieing it. Throughout the tie session he was just observing her with a small smile playing on his lips. As she was done and was about to turn he held her hand; I am sorry. Mujhe ghussa nahi karna chahiye tha. Par tumhe apna dhyaan rakhna chahiye Riddhima. This is not done you know.
R: Jee main jaanti hu; vo toh bas aap achanak peeche se aagaye the na; aur aapko office ke liye late ho raha tha toh...
A: Toh...mera office tumse jyaada jaruri toh nahi hai na! You know I hate it if when you are being careless towards yourself. Khair chodo ab...main ab chalta hu der ho rahi hai.
R: Umm...thik hai... She said gaiving him the wallet and was playing with the keys in her hand.
A: Kya hua kuch kehna chahti ho? She instantly looked up and her eyes answered his question. Hmm...bolo kya hua?
R: Vo...aap kab tak lautenge?...vo...ghar pe aaj akeli hu na...toh isi liye pooch rahi thi!
A: It's okay; tumhe safai dene ki jarurat nahi hai. You can ask me whatever you wish. Main shaam ko 5 baje tak laut aaunga shayad. He grabbed the keys and moved a little ahead but stopped midway. Turning around he came back to her and siad; vaise...main soch raha tha ki hum dono aaj kahi bahar chale...dinner pe!
R: Hum dono?? Her eyes twinkled with happiness. He smirked at her and going to her ears said; I don't mind other options but ab shaadi tumhare saath hui hai toh soch raha tha tumhe hi le jao! Her mouth fell open hearing his comment as it was quite unexpected for her. He laughed out loudly seeing her reaction. She stared at him with a pout on her lips.
A: Arey majaak kar raha tha! Ab tum sawaal hi aisa kar rahi ho! Um dono hi jaayenge na aur kiski baat karunga main? Then getting serious he came closer and looking straight in her eyes holding her shoulders he continues; hume ek dusre ke saath time spend karne ka mauka hi nahi mila na. Toh ab hum sare customs se free ai; toh kyun na time utilize kiya jaaye! Hmm? She just nodded her head shyly.
A: Thik hai toh shaam ko milte hai tayyar rehna. He placed a kiss on her forehead surprising her alittle and wwent away. She stood there blushing to herself as she received her first kiss from her husband. The whole day she was super excited about her first date with him. Setting everything perfectly while watching tv she was killing her time when her phone buzzed. It was his call! She immediately answered it without wasting a minute.
A: Hello...kya kar rahi ho?
R: Kuch nahi bas ...umm...vo... Aise hi baithkar tv dekh rahi thi. Now she couldn't tell him that she was getting ready for the dinner at 3 in the afternoon right!
A: Ohhk... mujhe laga so gayi hogi. Thank god maine disturb toh nahi kiya! Acha suno main tumhe poochna bhool gaya tha, tumhe kya pasand hai; Indian chinese or Italian?
R: Umm...anything will do.
A: Arey aise kaise; it's our first date I want everthing to be perfect! Her heart skipped a beat seeing him as excited as her; and his voice always did wonders to her. So jaldi bolo so that I can make the reservations accordingly.
R: I guss...Italian will do.
A: Great! Toh ghar pe bore toh nahi ho rahi ho na? I mean first day to be all alone na.
R: Nahi nahi. Kaka aur sophie(their servants) mera bohot khayal rak rahe hai. Mujhe bohot sare kisse bhi suna rahe the.
A: Ohh...seems kaafi enjoy kar rahi ho...mere bina.
R: Nahi aisi baat nahi hai...aap aisa kyoon keh rahe hai?
A: huh maine socha tum vaha baithkar meri tarah...par tum toh enjoy kar rahi ho...
R: Aapki tarah kya?
A: meri tarah... miss kar rahi hogi mujhe.
R: nahi main to...as she registered his words her cheeks coloured up on their own accord.
A: Acha ab main rakhta hu; meri meeting hai theek hai. Tum tayyar rehna hum 5 /5:30 tak hi niklenge. Bye aur haan...miss you! She just managed a hmm and the call was disconnected. God life was so beautiful. A small talk with him made her red like a tomato. On the other hand even he was just staring at the phone trying to picture her blushing face.
She was all ready by 4:45 pm waiting for him eagerly. She was siting and readig a magazine to distract herself and as soon as the bell rang she kept the magazine aside and smiled brightly. As he entered their room he almost forgot to breth as she looked like an angel in red saree, her hair flying and that glow on her face.
R: finally...aap aa gaye. Main kabse intezar kar rahi thi aapka!
A: Huh??...haan vo meeting ki vajah se thoda late ho gaya.
R: It's okay; aap freshh ho jaaiye main coffee lekar aati hu. He stopped her holding her hand
A: Tum bohot khubsoorat lag rahi ho Riddhima.
R: Thank you. She quickly freed her hand from him and ran away.
They went for a ride first and then their dinner and shared a lot of things with each other. Both of them were happy with each other's company. Slowly as the days passed their relation was growing. They were coming closer to each other. Now a days whenever he was angry people knew the person they had to consult! Some time with her and he would be back to normal. He used to fight with her; get angry on her too; but ultimately she was the only person he woud apologize to. He had fallen deeply in love with her and had also confessed but she needed a little time and he gave her that.
It had been over a month now and she was busy preparing coffee for him in the kitchen when he slowly entered in and held her from her waist making her flinch in fear.
A: Relax it's me! Kitna darti ho tum.
R: Ab aap aise achank aayenge toh dar hi jaungi na!
A: Kya kar rahi ho?
R: Coffee bana rahi thi aapke liye.
A: Ye sab chodo; chalo kuch der mere saath baitho na. I missed you soo much pata hai! Poora din I was so busy, baat bhi nahi ho paai humari. He took her along with him and sat on the swing holding her hands, it was her favourite place in the house.
A: Main itna bore ho chuka hu yaar; time hi nahi milta tumhare saath; it's so unfair na!
R: Koi baat nahi Armaan. Abhi toh hum saath hai na; and few more days; ek baar ye project khatam ho jaaye phir aapke paas bohot saara time hoga hai na?
A: Hmm...Just ye project jaldi khatam ho ab! He took her in a hug and she obliged wrapping her arms around him. He tightened his hold around her and nuzzled in her neck making her grab his shirt in her fist. Both of them had their eyes closed and just enjoyed each other's presence.
It was a weekend when some of his collegues had come over. He introduced Riddhima to everyone. It so happened that one of his collegue, Rajeev, happened to be her friend who had a huge crush on her but she had always avoided him. He was really crazy behind her.She felt a little weird as she first saw him but thought that it was long back and now he must have forgotten all that. He too spoke to her generally and from Armaan's behaviour she came to know that Rajeev was really very close to him as hthey both knew each other from school time. So she let the past go. She thought that this fact would effect their friendship so she decided not to speak to Armaan about it, so she just informed him later on about them being friends in college nothing about the crush part. But little did she know what plans Rajeev had. He still liked her but now he wanted revenge and he had already started working his mind on that. She had insulted him once by denying his love in front of his entire group which was a great blow to his ego.
AR's life was moving on beautifully. Few days went by and rajeev was being absolutely harmless.It was Sunday and Armaan was home chilling out. It was evening time when like every other day Riddhima was helping sophie in preparing dinner when the door bell rang. It was Rajeev at the door. He had told Armaan that he wanted to talk something really important to him. He had an envelope in his hands. Riddhima felt an uneasiness for unknown reason but just ignored it. Armaan and Rajeev were both sittitng in living room chatting and enjoying tv. Just then Riddhima entered the room with some snacks. She normally tried to be in her own work whenever Rajeev was around but today Armaan had himself called her up with the snacks and was told strictly to get it herself as Rajeev wanted to talk about something to both of them. Riddhima couldn't deny as she did not have any reason strong enough. She sat with them and instantly Rajeev smiled looking at her and she returned a small smile uneasily. Immediately Rajeev brought up the envelope and gave it to Armaan.
A: Ye kya hai?
Ra: I know Armaan ki tujhe ye dekhkar thoda shock lage par...yahi sach hai. Tu bohot acha insaan hai aur hum school time se ache dost hai yaar; main ab tujhse aur jhoot nahi bol sakta! Main tujhe aur dhoka nahi de sakta Armaan. He looked up at Riddhima; shayad Riddhima ki himmat nahi ho rahi hogi sach batane ki toh...
R: Sach...Kaisa sach?
A: Haan Rajeev ye tu kya bol raha hai?Kis sach ki baat kar raha hai; aur Riddhima ka kya connection?He looked back at Riddhima to find her equally confused.
Ra: Ye envelope khol ke khud dekh lo. The next moment Armaan had teared open the envelope and was shocked out of his wits. His jaws tightened and his nerve on forehead could be clearly seen. His face turned completely red and his eyes dripped anger. His one look was enough to tell her that his anger was about to burst open. She had never seen him this angry. Curious to know the reason behind his anger she moved ahead and took the envelope from his hands; and the moment her eyes fell on its content she froze.
R: Ye toh...
Ra: Armaan main humesha se Riddhima se bohot pyaar karta tha; ab bhi karta hu aur vo bhi mujhe chahti hai par shayad tujhse dar gayi thi isi liye kuch nahi kaha ab tak. Par main teri zindagi barbaad nahi karna chahta Armaan isi liye ye sach aaj tujhe bata raha hu!
The envelope contained some pictures of Riddhima and Rajeev hugging each other or having fun. In some of them both had held each other's hand. The truth was they were all taken long back in college during their play in which Riddhima wore a saree. She was playing a role against Rajeev and the play was a romantic one; so those pictures were obviously giving out a different story overall. Riddhima was stunned to react; she now understood that Rajeev had been so nice all these days just for this. He had planned everything so well, she had to do something; she couldn't let him spoil everything just in a click. She turned to Armaan and saw him now standing up with his fist clenched tightly as if trying his best to stop himself. He must know the truth; all that he was seeing was a lie and she had to clarify everything then and there. She moved ahead and with tears streaming down her eyes she said;
R: Armaan aisa kuch nahi hai ma... he held his hand up signalling her to stop right there.
A: Koi safai nahi chahiye mujhe...Kamre main jao.
R: Pleeease meri baat suno. Main sach keh rahi hu Arma...
A: NOT A WORD MORE. OUT RIGHT NOW!! He roared out loudly almost making her skip a beat. She flinched hearing his voice and ran up to the room the very next moment. Her knees ditched her as soon as she entered the room as she dropped down crying her heart out clutching the bedsheet tightly in her fist. She felt as if her breath was snatched away from her; she had shattered down into pieces seeing those pictures. She felt so helpless right now. She loved Armaan a lot to lose him; even that thought of going away from him sent shivers down her spine. But that was what future held for her. She never thought that life would take such a drastic turn. Seeing his angry look she knew that there was no scope he would forgive her; and he did not even let her speak forget about giving explanations. She had never seen him this angry till date. She was scared of him for the first time ever; not that he would do something with her but that he would go away from her. That was unbearable for her.
Back to the living room;
Armaan looked up at Rajeev with fire in his eyes; and boy if looks could kill; Rajeev would have been deadly turned into ashes till now.
Ra: Armaan main jaanta hu tu ghussa hai par use maaf kar de yaar. Bechari dar gayi hogi isi liye chupaye rakhi ye baat tujhse. But you will have to accept it Armaan; ki yahi sach hai jo tu dekh raha hai. Riddhima ka mere saath najayaj rishta...SLAP... before he could say anything further Armaan slapped him so hard across his face that his lip started bleeding as a teeth pierced deeply into his lip. He showered him with two more sharp laps and pulled him harshly by his collar. His voice dangerously low and eyes full of fire; Iske aage Riddhima ke khilaaf ek aur shabd bhi bola toh mujhse boora aur koi nahi hoga. Just get lost! He pushed him harshly making him stumble.
Ra: Armaan tu mujhe; apne itne saalon ke dost par haath utha raha hai. And you are siding that bi***
He received a hard punch directly on his face and a kick in his stomach making him fall down groaning in pain.
A: Agar apni ghatiya jabaan 1 aur baar kholi toh agle kuch minto main teri family ko tera death certificate register karna padega. Agar apne aap ko jinda dekhna chahte hai toh abhi isi waqt yaha se dafa ho ja! Be thankful ki tu mera dost raha hai isi liye tujhe zinda chod raha hu varna jo tune aaj kiya hai uske baad toh bhagwan bhi tujhe mujhse nahi bacha sakta tha! And don't you dare show that disgusting face of yours ever again!
As he entered the room and shut the door he found Riddhima sitting on the floor; puffed eyes, pale face and red nose. Her state did tell him that she was crying badly. She instantly got up as she saw him;
R: Armaan please meri baat...she stopped abruptly and gasped as she saw a small cut at the back of his palm. Aapko...aapko toh chot lagi hai! Main abhi aayi. She moved ahead to do so when he called her;
A: Riddhima ruk jao. She turned around and stood still in her plae. She could see his bloodshot red eyes. She moved back as he slowly moved towards her with slow dangerous steps. Both kept moving the same way till her back hit the door. He was now just an inch away from her face staring deeply in her eyes.
R: Armaan...aapko chot...she held the knob to open the door saying; main first aid ki... In a swift move he latched the door and turned her around pinning her back to the door. She saw him staring at her intently and fresh tears oozed out of her eyes. Armaan usne jo bhi kaha sab jhuth... Shhh...he placed a finger on her lips making her shut up. The next instant he pulled her into his arms hugging her tightly. This was not even the last thing out of all that she was thinking all this while. Wasn't he angry; wasn't he supposed to be shouting on her; forget about shouting she was even expecting a slap taking into consideration the kind of short tempered person he was. But the hug really surprised her. She was too shocked to react but the moment he pulled her away and wiping her tears hugged her and placed a light kiss in her hair all the barriers were broken. She hugged him back with all her might. She sobbed on his chest like a kid holding onto him tightly. He rubbed her back to calm her but that did not help. So he just pulled her closer making her hide her face in his neck and kept onn caressing her head.
R: Aap jo chahiye kariye...daantiye...maariye...ghussa kijiye; par...mujhse naaraz mat hoiye! She said in between her hiccups.
A: Shh...bas karo Riddhima. Kuch nahi hua hai. Sab theek hai; main bilkul naaraz nahi hu tumse!
R: Sach?
A: Bilkul sach!
R: Agar sach main aap naaraz nahi hai toh meri baat kyu nahi sun rahe? Mujhe kuch kehne tak nahi diya aapne.
A: Kyunki main ye bilkul bardasht nahi kar sakta ki kisi ke ghatiya iljaamo ki vajah se tumhe mujhe koi safai deni pade. I know tumne kuch galat nahi kiya; tum aisi ghatiya harkat karne ki soch bhi nahi skati! And aainda kabhi mujhe koi explanations nahi sunne jab tak I don't ask for 1; specially in front of others ; get that straight in your mind! She was at loss of words. How could he trust her soo much; he did not even know the whole truth. She must have done thousands of good deeds to have him as her husband.
R: Aap mujhpar itna bharosa kaise kar sakte hai? Aap toh poora sach jaante bhi nahi!
A: Main tumhe jaanta hu; ache se pehchanta hu bas! Mujhe aur kuch janne ki jarurat bhi nahi.
R: Par mera farj banta hai ki main aapko sach batau! I know mujhe ye bohot pehle kehna chahiye tha but I thought ki aapki dosti kharab na ho isi liye I stayed mum. Rajeev had a crush on me in college Armaan. Vo sach main mere peeche paagal tha. Par mujhe ye baat last year main pata chali. But trust me maine kabhi use nahi chaha; vo humesha se sirf mera dost tha; aur sach janne ke baad toh maine use sab ke saamne saaf inkaar kar diya tha! Lekin maine ka... He held her shoulders and pulled her up;
A: Enough Riddhima; maine kaha mujhe kuch nahi sunna matlab kuch bhi nahi sunna. I don't give a damn ki tumhare past main kya hua aur kya nahi; who liked you or not! All that matters to me is present and our future. Aur main ye jaanta hu ki ab meri Riddhima sirf meri hai aur humesha sirf meri hi rahegi.
R: Humesha! She held his hand in hers and continued...kyunki maine apni zindagi main sirf aur sirf aapse pyaar kiya. Naa aapse pehle kisi ko chaha na aapke baad kisi ke baare main socha.
A: Acha? Main ye baat nahi maanta.
R: Ky...kyu? He slowly wiped her tears with his palm and kissed it.
A: Kyunki tumne abhi tak mujhse kabhi kaha hi nahi that you love me.
R: Main...i am sorry mu... He pulled her closer by her waist and purposely whispered right on her lips; making her breath hard A: You are still not saying it!
R: Main aapse bohot pyaar karti hu Armaan... I...I love you. Main aapke begair nahi jee sakti!
A: I love you too Riddhima. He pulled her and she melted like ice in his arms. He planted soft kisses on her neck making her shiver. He hid his face in her neck tightening her hold around her feeling her close to his heart. As he slowlt detangled her; he caressed her lips lightly and her lips instantly parted. Looking in her eyes for approval he pulled her and took her lips into a soft and tender kiss full of love. She held him tightly around his neck as they shared their first ever kiss. His hands caressed her waist making her go weak in her knees. As he was about to draw back she deepend the kiss surprisng him; but nonetheless he responded back equally. Coming out of the kiss she placed light kisses all over his face and a small kiss on his heart. She placed her hands on his chest and said looking straingt in his eyes; mujhe kabhi khud se dur mat kariyega Armaan main mar...he smacked his lips hard on hers to stop her. As they came out of the kiss she turned around being all shy now. He slid his hands on her bare waist and pulled her back caressing it with his thumb making her gasp. Moving her hair from her neck he planted kkisses all over her neck till her earlobe. She tilted her neck giving him better access. He whispered nesr her earlobe huskily; Tum kabhi mujhse dur nahi hogi Riddhima. Main aisa hone hi nahi dunga. Picking her up in his arms he placed her on the bed and towered her. Her down eyes; red cheeks and the hand which caressed his cheeks were proof enough for him to move ahead. Holding her hands he interwined their fingers and kissing her palm pinned her hands on the bed. Without breaking the eyelock he moved down and nuzzled her cheeks. He kissed her neck passionately making it hard for her to breath. Moving down he placed fervent kisses all over her throat. As he moved further down she turned over and coming on top kissed his throat passionately. She slowly unbuttoned his shirt and he instantly removed it completely moving the barrier away to feel her touch. She gasped seeing his perfect maculine body and caressed his abs. She showered kisses all over his chest making him moan. As her fingers ignited fire in him he turned her and pinning her back in a swift moment took her lips in a sensuous kiss making her forget everything. His hands roamed all over her body making her wither in his hold and her hands pefectly caressed his back pulling him closer. She curled her toes and her heartbeat rose as he unpinned her pallu and his hands worked sensuously on her blouse buttons.She arched her back as he showered her entire body with passionate kisses and his hands explored her. Both of them spent a beautiful night making passionate love promising to be by each other's side come what may.
