PART 6 (B)

Armaan: there must be some way to get out of this mess.

Riddhima: yes… there must be; according to me, you can either transfer your wealth to him or… or you may act accordingly as he want, till we find a better way out of this…

Armaan: Why should I listen to you…. I don't Trust you.

Riddhima: okay, I will settle down and wait till you tell me what better way you have.

Armaan: Listen do not act Smart.

Riddhima: I do not need to act.

Armaan: Why did he choose you among all? Whats so special about you...?

Riddhima: it's a long story… not necessary.

Armaan: I am free today.

Riddhima: I don't wish to tell you then…

Armaan: Don't you dare walk on me.

Riddhima: Armaan, Leave my hand. I don't want to talk about this.

She said with her back at him, he twisted her in anger… and pulled her to him… her heart started to pound…

Armaan: Don't look back; Anjali is standing at the door…..

Armaan Whispered back. All of a sudden she felt his arm going around her waist and that shocked her initially but knowing Anjali at door… she thought to stand, quietly, whatever he was doing was to not expect by her thought. She stared in his shining blue eyes and found him already staring at her.

She was speechless, his eyes was delivering something very unusual thing that made her skin tingle in a very delightful way. She started to feel more afraid thinking of what was next.

Riddhima: Is … she still there…?

Armaan: Yes.

To her badluck, he moved a little closer. She found him still staring at her eyes, as if trying to read something… A shiver again sped down her spine, as his finger started caressing her back. And it was then… I felt his lips over hers. He kissed her. His lips stayed on her for what seemed like a forever. he didn't probe her lips, and she was still. didn't knew what do be done... next.

'Oh god so soft, so tender and caring. Just like what I hoped my first kiss to be like. I know it was wrong… but Anjali need to go damnit.' She thought. 'Shit... i can't tell him that it was so nice...' she thought.

Armaan: Come nearer.

Riddhima: Armaan please.

She tried to move away, glaring at him. Armaan Stared behind her to see was Anjali there… yes she was really there, looking at them with love and affection visible in her eyes, for her sister.

Armaan: she is here, so Come closer

Riddhima: armaan Stop it… Okay.

She angrily told him and tried to shuffle in his arms.

Armaan: You are making it obvious…

He jerked her in his arms; it brings crackles through her body and her heart started to jump, beating loudly, throbbing in her chest. Her pulse started to swelling in her wrists and her stomach crumpled. In nervous she pushed him away and started to huff, Armaan saw Anjali frowning…

Armaan: Closer. I said, not far Sweety. I know I am irresistible..

His voice was deep and hoarse. She glared at him He grabbed her waist by her side, and pulls her to him. He was smiling broadly down at her, with a smirk as he notice her boiling in anger her nostrils widing up.

Anjali: Ahem.. Ahem.

Armaan: Ohh Anjali. You here.

He moved away from Riddhima.

Riddhima: Di.

Anjali: I am sorry, I disturbed your moment… but I didn't wanted to watch it.

Armaan: Its okay, what is done is done…. We can carry at night, Right honey.

Riddhima: oh uhm. Ya. Bye Armaan.

Armaan: Chao ladies.

Armaan walks out the room, leaving the door ajar. Standing beside the wall he made few foot steps, loudly while standing at the same place, smirking. Yes, he was right beside the door though he was making it obvious for the two ladies that he left… he still didn't trusted this woman, named Riddhima.

Anjali: so… How are you? Oh well stupid question… you were busy romancing – so you are good.

Riddhima: Dii… please okay. Come to point.

Riddhima: Ahhh no more explanation please. I hate it when I am questioned. Anyway that is not important… listen to me Dii… remember you were planning a trip to Paris… why don't you people leave.

Anjali: Don't change the topic Riddhima. And we didn't thought over the trip, when we lost you.

Riddhima: Dii… I am fine and happily married to this guy named Armaan Malik. You knew I was in love with Armaan.

Anjali: You never told that the Armaan You were in love with….

Riddhima: I am in love with, not were Dii.

Both nodded. Armaan kept the tray down that he was still holding.

Armaan: come on lets have tea then…

Armaan: nope just carried into the room.

Armaan passed a big cheesy smile to Riddhima, who just rolled her eyes and rubbed her sweaty hands over her thigh... 'That was a bit difficult... Di... can be such a detective sometimes.' she thought... 'Oh lord help...' she thought.
