Part 24
Riddhima was sitting on the Sanjeevani terrace and was thinking about the warmth of hug that she shared with Armaan just few moments ago. She was feeling contended and a smile was adorning her face. Suddenly she felt buzz of her phone, she looked towards screen and her smile deepens looking at the name flashing on the screen. She picked it up and answered. "Riddhima where are you?" She smiled again before answering "Armaan it's my free time, I was feeling tired, so thought of coming at terrace. Why are you sounding so hurried. Her smile vanished when she heard what Armaan said "Basket some boy named Rakesh is here. He informed me that he was your intern and wanted to know whether you will come to the party in the evening or not." There was a moment of silence and then finally Riddhima took a deep breath and said "No" and hung the call. Armaan frowned at her sudden abruptness. He looked towards the guy and said "Ah, ya Dr. Rakesh. Right? She said she will come to party in the evening. And please don't make
the party too loud. She don't like loud ones" Rakesh smiled and nodded his head in a yes and replied "Dr. Armaan, I mean sir, we know that she don't like much of loud parties. There is something else I am afraid of." Armaan looked intriguingly towards Rakesh and asked him to continue. "Dr.Armaan, Dr. Siddhant is also coming." Armaan looked surprisingly towards Rakesh. Rakesh sensed the tension and said " Dr. Armaan it's not us who invited him. We're very well aware of the tension they both shared. But somehow he came to know about our party and he sort invited himself" "Saala sudhrega nayi" Armaan irked. Rakesh stifled his laugh and Armaan continued " Don't worry buddy, I will handle everything." Rakesh nodded and left. "Now I will have to convince that ziddi Basket." Armaan mumuttered to himself and headed tiwards terrace.
He found her engrossed in her thoughts and for a change she was smiling stupidly. He went upto her and said " Hey beautiful" Riddhima got stratled from the voice. " Armaan, tum kab aye? And since when i became beautiful from Basket" Armaan pretended thinking and finally said " you are Basket only but some fairy turned you beautiful" Riddhima laughed at his kiddish answer. "Okay tell me what are you wearing in the evening?" Riddhima scrunched her eyebrows and asked in confusion "anything special?" Armaan took her hand in his and said "Ofcourse your juniors are giving you party" Riddhima opened her mouth to speak but Armaan interrupted "and yes I know Basket you are not willing and bla bla but still you are coming. And I know your next question will be whether Sid will be present or not and the answer is yes. And before you say something else I assure you he will not be able to do anything until I am there with you" Riddhima smiled and spoke " Fine. Tell me the venue?" Armaan looked surprisingly towards Riddhima "you agreed!" Riddhima chuckled and said " ofcourse, because you assured me that you will be there with me." Armaan smiled and hugged her sideways " always".
GUPTA MANSION
Riddhima was quite apprehensive for the party. She had sprawled all her party clothes on the bed. She was placing her gowns turn by turn on herself and was looking in the mirror. Finally at the end, she chose a turquoise blue off shoulder knee lenght dress.
"Nice choice sister" Anjali entered room and found Riddhima admiring herself in the mirror. "Really Di! Do you think it will look good on me?" Riddhima asked apprehensively. Anjali nodded and turned towards the wardrobe to select her dress for the evening. She chose a full lenght black gown with V neck. Riddhima went to washroon to change and muttered to herself "I hope Armaan likes it" and she blushed, " hang on why am I bothered about Armaan's liking? What is wrong with me. Why I am behaving so stupid. And why the hell I want to woo him tonight. I have lost it definitely." She huffed and came out of the wash room and found Anjali getting ready. Anjali was looking quite hot in her black gown, so Riddhima whistled to admire her sister's beauty. "Someone's looking killer and smokingly hot. Atul is gone today. I bet" Anjali turned crimson red and muttered a thank you. "Ridz I am ready, you too finish fast as Armaan and Atul are coming to pick us up. So be fast" saying this she left but what she didnt notice was Riddhima turning red at the mention of Armaan's name. She felt butterflies in her stomach and was not able to understand why. She immediately sat in front of the mirror and started applying makeup and put on a simple diamond pendant with simple ear rings matching her neck piece. She glanced for once in mirror before leaving her room. When she was descending downstairs she heard honking of Armaan's car. Her heart beat became erratic. She was shivering and her palms were sweatong. She wasnt understanding why is she behaving so weirdly. And the next moment Armaan entered her house. He was wearing denims and a black jacket with white shirt leaving his first three buttons open as usual and was lookin handsome. Riddhima was lost in him. Her heart beat rose to infinity. She was not able to ignore him. She descended restvof stairs Still Armaan haven't seen Riddhima because he was busy joking with Atul and Anjali. Riddhima finally reached the place where they were standing and greeted them. The moment Armaan saw her, he was mesmerised by her beauty. His mouth was left open in admiration, he wanted to compliment her but his larynx and tounge was dry. Riddhima deep down knew that he is admiring her, she was feeling his gaze on her and she was turning crimson red. Atul realised the situation and hemed. Armaan came out of his dream land and finally managed to compliment Riddhima.
To ease out the awkward situation Anjali asked everyone to leave for party.
When they reached near Armaan's SUV Atul was ready to sit at the front seat but Anjali nudged him to come and sit at the back passenger seat. Atul who got irritated asked "What Anjie? Stop bossing me out." Anjali smiled at her naive boyfriend and whispered in his ear " let Riddhima sit there" Atul uttered "oh" and nodded his head. Riddhima occupied front seat but for the first time she was feeling awkward sitting with Armaan. Armaan finally started his car and zoomed off. While driving Armaan managed to steal some glances to look towards Riddhima.
When they reached the party hall Atul escorted Anjali leaving behing Armaan and Riddhima. For a moment there was an awkward silence which was broken by Armaan " Basket" Riddhima who was pretending to be busy with her phone looked towards Armaan. Armaan extended his hand and said " shall we?" Riddhima placed her hand on his and nodded. When they entered the hall they saw a big banner was hanging saying WE WILL MISS YOU DR.RIDDHIMA. . The room was decorated with balloon s and oand shimmering things. Her one intern Dr. Shruti came to escort and welcome her. There they saw Muskaan and Rahul standing. Muskaan was wearing a knee lenght white dress and was looking pretty, Rahul on the other hand was wearing white shirt and a waist coat with denims. Muskaan excitedly ran towards them and hugged both. "Moti why are you looking so excited" Armaan asked. Muskaan replied overwhelmingly " becoz hero mine and Rahul' s leave application got sanction and we are going to Punjab this wednesday and will celebrate new years there. And yes dont forget to apply for leave as you got to attend my engagement." Riddhima smiled and saif " Don't worry Muski I have already applied." Their conversation was interrupted by Rakesh's announcement. He was standing on the dias and was ready to give a speech " Good evening doctors. We have gathered here to give farewell to one of the most talented doctor and an amazing guide Dr. Riddhina Gupta. She nurtured her interns very well. She has left Vardhan but joined Sanjeevni. Hope she reaches the heights of sucess in her carrier. And one thing is definite an that is we will miss you Dr. Riddhima." And there was applaud for Riddhima. Rakesh continued " now I will request Dr. Riddhima to come on the dance floor with her partner and begin the dance and after that rest of couples can join." Riddhima looked towards Armaan and he smiled and extended his hand and escorted her towards the dance floor. Dj played a romantic symphony. Armaan placed one hand on her waist and took her other in his and started swaying her to the tune. Once they started dancing Atul Anjali, Rahul Muskaan and rest of the couples to started dancing.
Armaan and Riddhima were lost in each others eyes. While dancing Riddhima minimised the distance between them, and then she placed her head on Armaan's chest and inhaled his colonge. " Thank you Armaan for being there for me." Armaan hold her tightly with both hands from her waist and pulled her more towards himself and swayed to the tune. Riddhima felt utmost peace in his arms and she closed her eyes and listen the beats of his heart. A pair of furious eyes were watching them dancing so close, but unaware from those harsh looks they were dancing. The song ended and all couples drifted apart. Then the DJ changed the track to peppy number. Armaan and rest left the dance floor and stood to one side and started chatting. The pair of eyes still was glued towards Riddhima. They were of Sid. He called the waiter and asked him to serve drinks to Armaan and rest. He took a glass of a mocktail and mixed it with alcohol and asked the waiter to give that specific glass to Riddhima. Waiter nodded and went up to them. He served them drinks. When Riddhima took one sip she found the taste bit awkward and bitter. " Guys this drink is tasting quite unusual." Rahul disagreed and said " no Ridzy its not" Armaan took her drink and sipped and was left perplexed. " Ridz its alcohol." He tasted Muskaan's and Anjali's to check but they were bland. He understood that someone did this intentionally. He called the waiter and threathen him to say truth. He told that the guy sitting near the bar ordered him. He looked and saw Sid sitting there. His blood boiled in anger. Riddhima was shattered. Armaan went where he was sitting and asked Sid to accompany him outside. Rahul got asensee of intuition what will happen so he asked Atul to come with him. Girls too sense some danger and went outside. The scene they saw left them dumbstruck. Armaan was beating Sid ferociously. Riddhima felt that she can't move. Her legs were grounded. Sid was bleeding badly and Armaan was beating him. Atul and Rahul were intervening and were trying to end the fight. But none was ready to back off. Finally when realisation struck her she ran to stop them and yelled "stop". The boys suddenly stopped. " Armaan why are you beating him so mercilessly." Armaan who was huffing spoke " Basket he is the one who mixed alcohol in your drink and you know why. So that he can click some pathetic pictures with you and can black mail you and ask you live with him. Riddhima was left shocked " is that true?" She asked Sid. Sid did not answer and looked down to avoid her gaze. Riddhima understood and she gave a tight smash at his face. "Sid how can you stoop so low? You jerk. Get out of my life" Sid opened his mouth to say something but Riddhima again slapped him "not a word Modi. Get hell out of here" Sid looked towards her and left. Riddhima turned towards Armaan and asked "you okay?" Armaan nodded a yes. Anjali spoke "I think we should leave" "No Di my juniors will be left heart broken" said Riddhima. "I think she is right. They have planned this party for her. It wil look rude" Atul decidecipd. Everyone agreed. Riddhima took Armaan's hand and pressed it tightly. Armaan looked towards Riddhima and smiled "I am okay Basket" Armaan assured. And they too went inside to enjoy party.
