"Ridhima tumse shaanti sai nahi baitha jata kya? Kitne sawaal karti ho yaar! Mai ek toh itni mushkil sai sasurjee sai permission lekar aur tum ho ki yahan mere sai pyaar sai baat karne ki jagah aise gussa kar rahi ho. Tabhi mai sochu tum itni jaldi aane kai liye kaise maan gayi? Ab dekho kitna sawal jawab kar rahi ho." Armaan stopped the car and placed his hand on her mouth to shut her as she continuosly said the same thing to him.
"Itni achanaq sai yeh kya plan banaya hai tumne?"
"Armaan jawaab toh do!"
"Arrey kuch puch rahi hoon, batao na. Kaha ja rahe hai?"
"Kyun jaa rahe hai?"
"Acha at least yeh toh batao kitni dair mai pohchenge?"
"Armaan bolo na! Itni door ana zaruri tha kya?"
Ridhima looked at him with wide eyes removed his palm from her mouth. As everyone knows, Mumbai's traffic was a hassle and today they got stuck into that hassle. Armaan sighed, maybe coming so far was a stupid idea, here they were stuck in the traffic since past half an hour, he knew they would get stuck in the traffic but 2 hours? Well, that was unexpected and totally not done. "Why today?" He wondered and rested his forehead on the steering wheel and muttered, "Basket would surely eat me alive if we get stuck in this traffic for another 20 minutes."
"Hawww... Mai? Armaan tum.. Off course mai sawwal jawab karungi, dekho hum kitni dair sai traffic mai fasse hai aur tum mujhe kahi lai jaa rahe toh batao ki where are you taking me? What if I don't like that place?" Ridhima deadpanned at him as she said the last bit. He was so cute but he definitely did things which she never imagined and even if the last date they had gone on pretty well, the way their past dates went, she was kind of worried.
No one ever thought the goody two shoes would get into a lockup, no one ever thought that Papa ki Princess Ridhima would go and put her career in jeopardizing by taking multiple days off without permission, even go against her father and run from her house. She sure did things she herself thought she never would. She always planned a normal life, never thought of love marriage but the guy her Papa would choose, she always thought she would marry a guy who would be like her, but here she got him if she was a river, he was the waterfall, if she were a breeze, he was a tornado, but instead of a mess he taught her how to live, stand up for herself, be competitive, take risks and live her life on her own terms.
She looked at him sighed with a smile, even if he was naughty, she loved him, with all her might. He maybe wasn't aware of what he meant to her, he didn't know the intensity of his love, she was sure he would know one day, one day he would come to her and tell her he remembers everything, he remembered how he held her hands when her hands were on a pressure sensitive and time ticking bomb, how he jumped to save her from the fire from crackers, how he held her when she cried after learning the truth about her adoption and she would wait for that day, even if it might take forever.
"Aisa kya dekh rahi ho? Abhi toh chilla rahi thi aur ab dekho aise deh rahi ho. Kitne mood swings hote hai tumhare Basket." Armaan sighed and looked at her with a quirky yet sad expression.

"Dr. Mallik apni date ko iss tarah sai naraaz karoge toh date vaapis chali jayegi." Ridhima rolled her tongue and raised her eyebrows at him.
"Dr. Gupta aako kisne kaha aap date par ayi hai? In fact yeh kisne kaha ki tum meri date ho? I know I am popular but..." Armaan raised his collar and drove faster as the roads cleared.
"Acha toh kyun laaye ho mujhe? Tum na Armaan..." Ridhima looks at him pointed eyes.
"Ridhima I know you want me..." Armaan grinned at her.
"Armaan..." Ridhima whined to which Armaan laughed and said "Okay! Okay! Sorry. Was just joking, Ridhima tum bhi na mazaak ko seriously lai leti ho. Tum na bohut cuute ho!" Armaan cooed at her as they reached their destination.
 
Oh, love, let me see inside your heart
All the cracks and broken parts
The shadows in the light
There's no need to hide
Ridhima and Sid enter Panchghani Medical Institute to give them the records and have further details and list of people in villiage to go for a checkup the day after.

"Dr. Sidhant aap yeh files submit kar dijye, I'll just submit the blood samples in the path lab." Ridhima goes into the lift and reaches the second floor and submits the blood samples. 

She looked at her phone which beeped: Dr. Ridhima come on the first floor, they need your signature for taking the name list.
Ridhima read the message and sighed, she would get back by the time Arman would've had slept.  She quickly moves down and found Sid standing outside the Physician's office.
"Sid what.." She was about to continue when she was shocked as she saw him Armaan inside. She knew about his vertigos and visual blurriness at times but she never knew that he had to take physical therapy for balancing and walking. That's why she never saw him moving while she was there last night. 
She looks at him as he stood on the trade mill holding the handles as the machine moved on a slower pace than he usually did while working out, seven months, do change lives.
Ridhima's eyes were moist as she wanted him to look at her, she wanted to smile at him so he would know that she's there, she'll always be there. She knew how harder it could be to do something poorly which you used to be the best at. Hating to do something you loved too, something which was your way out to every problem suddenly becomes your biggest enemy. 
Sid looks at Ridhima who looked teary at what was happening inside the room, he scoffed, they see people dying every day and here she was crying. Who is this person? He wondered.
Suddenly Armaan's eyes went to her and the world stopped, he wanted to hide from her but couldn't, he wanted to be with her but he knew he wasn't in the state to have someone depend on him and wasn't in the state where he could his whole to someone. 
Ridhima whispered "Armaan.." and smiled at him giving him a thumbs up and moved out of there. Armaan looked shocked that she didn't come in or persuade him to talk and he was relieved. 
Ridhima went away to do her work and moved out of the hospital with a sigh, "baby steps" she muttered and felt proud of herself that she didn't break down, she didn't beg him to talk to her. She'll have him talk to her on his choice, on his own will.
 
"So what is this place?" Ridhima looks at him as they go inside the lift of the building.
"Suprise, just wait for some more time." Armaan smiled and kissed her forehead, and in return, Ridhima smiled and hugged him.
Soon they reached the 20th floor of a 25 floors building and he took her in an apartment.
"Armaan yeh?" Ridhima questions him as he asks her to move forward and opened the curtains of the glass wall in the living room of the apartment.
"Armaan this is...so beautiful." Ridhima looks at him with a gleam as the Mumbai city was visible from up there.
"Haina?! This is our place." Armaan lifts up the apartment card dangling in his hand.
"Hmmm?" Ridhima looked confused at his words.
"Shaadi kai baad we'll live here. It's our place." Armaan grinned at her as her face from being confused changed into a happy gleam and then her eyes turned misty.
"Kya basket tum toh phir senti hogayi? Kitna roti ho." Armaan teased her and cleared her tears.
"Armaan mai na marungi. Mera mazak mat udaya karo, it's just it's so awesome." Ridhima smiled at him and giggled. She felt her world turning in the right path, she thanked God for giving him to her and promised she would cherish him forever.
Armaan pulls her to how the apartment as she lovingly gazed at him while he animatedly talked to her.
