Chapter 5

PART 3

Armaan was pacing around the room, he was confused what to do? How to do? Heck, he had still not got the grip of this truth that she was going to act as his wife… he was getting frustated, first she was not telling him and second he was getting involved in the most stupid thing for no reason. When he saw her stepping out the washroom, wearing the pink color sari provided by her mom he got all more anger and fummed.

Armaan: getting all cozy in here are we eh? Taking bath and wearing lavish clothes. He stepped closer to her, with a firm, angry look.

Riddhima: Armaan we need to go down… she stammered, moving back till her back collided with the wall.

Armaan: as I said before, you have 24 hours, of which 1 hour has passed tell me the entire thing you planning against me, what do you really want from me or else you would pay the consequences.

Riddhima: I really want to help you Armaan… she stammered, lowering her gaze.

Armaan: Don't you dare lie! He grabbed her wrist and twisted at her back, pulling her front into him.

Riddhima: Armaan! Leave me…. Why are you hurting me…?

Armaan: I hate liars. Riddhima. Warning you, either don't lie or don't speak at all. I have given you time! Think… Think wisely. If you want money say it! No one is generous to anyone in this world every one has something of its own related to it! And you are generous to me – helping me? BullSHIT!!!

Riddhima: I don't want m…

Armaan: Shut up! Did I tell you to interrupt? NO. Just listen to me. We would have a nice conversation after 24 hours in which you would tell me, why you are helping me in saving me from going to jail, in the matter of suspicious-witness.

Riddhima: could you leave my hand, you have bruised me enough! She lunged loudly, in anger.

Armaan: Lower you bloody tone! He twisted her arm more, making her yelp in pain.

Riddhima: Stop hurting me! Please…. She whispered dropping her head over his shoulder due to weakness and tired some.

Armaan: Telling your family that I am your husband, does not give you the right to get close to me. Let me guess, is that also part of your plan to make me fall for you…? Haan? Armaan jerked her away from him.

She astonishingly looks in his eyes, as if he said something he should not have – something he should not no... Something which Might Be True... He stared back… as if her eyes were shouting at him and sending a silent message. He didn't know what got into him, he softened the next moment.

Armaan: You want to say something… he whispered, his palm loosened from her wrist. She silently brought her arms to her side, still staring at him, with an unknown content.

Armaan: Do you want to… Riddhima. He let his breathe linger on her face, she gasped. As he circled his one arm around her waist, and his other hand came up to caressed her cheek, she closed her eye to let his touch drop in…

Riddhima: Ahhh! She yelped the next moment, as he grips her hair and pushed her away alittle.

Armaan: what are you doing….haan? I know you from last few hours and you making my life up side down…. Who are you Riddhima… kon hou tum? I was never so aggressive… you making me a totally different person He whispered, in anger, his nose rubbed on her cheek both closed their eyes… she felt shiver pass her soul as he rubbed his nose, romantically. He spoke with little frustation, because first time life was not going as per he wants…

Knock Knock

Naina: Armaan? What are both upto! Riddhima's family is here. I WANT THIS DOOR OPEN NOW.

Armaan lashed towards the door and burst it open. He hated when his mom or dad interfered in his personal life. He had already told them not too… and this was something he wishes to handle alone, he hated it when his mom took him as a 10 year lad with 0% brain!!!

Armaan: HAVE I not told you mom, do not interfere in this matter. Let me handle this on my own! Please. Okay mom!

Naina: I and your father have the right to speak when you plan to do stupid things!

Armaan: Fine! We will go down tell them that Riddhima is not my wife and then we would get rid of this girl… but I may walk down the road of police station, I may be said to spend a night at police station. That's all you want? Fine we would do that!! Come along Riddhima.

Riddhima: NO! We can't! I have to be your Wife Darn IT! If YOU don't need my help – I NEED YOURS! Understood MR. Armaan Malik? She blasted in fresh anger

Armaan: YOU…! He strolls towards her though he was shock at first but then he turned livid, as he understood the fact very clearly that she was sticking for her own means and that made him furious, when naina grabbed his arm.

Naina: Settle her later… ask questions to her later about what she really wants. I accept I don't want you down the lane of police station. So yes, we would act for saving our reputation and she would act for her own filthy needs! Agreed. Now lets move down. She tried to drag Armaan away from Riddhima as he getting furious – badly furious…

Armaan: Fine! But mom I don't want you part of this anymore. We agree on that too.

Naina: But Armaan I need to be informed… I am your mom.

Armaan: End of it mom! I said it that means I said it for the final time, Lets Go Mrs. Armaan Malik come and play your role. He grabbed her upper arm and pulled her out of room.

Riddhima: Don't do that in front of my family! Darn it! She tried to withdraw her arm.

Armaan: Stay, I would hold you softly only if you stop withering.

Riddhima calm down as she started to descend the stairs and saw Her Sister getting up from the couch and rushing to stairs.

Anjali: Oh Riddhima. Keerti told us everything, you could have told me atleast about your marriage! We would have supported you sweetheart. Running away was not the right option.
