PART 7

Anjali: I would leave then… have to pack.

Riddhima: Di… I will come with you to help you packing.

Armaan: No.

Riddhima: Huh? What did you say?

Armaan: I said, No Riddhima… You ain't going.

Riddhima: Why? I have not been to my house from last 1 month. I want to go! Understood? Her eyes welled up

Anjali: uhmm Riddhima… Anjali awkwardly tried to stop Riddhima.

Riddhima: No Di…. Stay out of it. I hate when someone bosses me.

Anjali: he is not someone, Baby… he is your husband.

Silence dropped in the room.

Armaan: I would drop her to your house personally Anjali, I just need her for a while…

Riddhima: Armaan you need me for nothing… stop bossing around!

Anjali: What has gotten into you Riddhima! Please Behave.

All the while Armaan had a smirk over his face, and that silence of his was making her more irritated and angrier.

'What was he trying to show my sister, this bas***d… thinks he would be allowed to boss over me...? Huh! In his DREAMS' Riddhima thought.

Riddhima: alright. You leave Di… I would drop by evening…

Anjali: ohkay… Take care. And thank you for all the help and support Armaan.

Anjali Came forward and gave him a side hug,

Armaan: believe me Pleasure is all mine…. Your tickets and transfer letter will be brought to you with Riddhima in evening… okay?

Anjali: thank you…

Armaan nods and guides her out to parking area. While Riddhima kept herself busy by munching the blanking within her fist, and letting out curses, loudly.

Naina: whom are you cursing?

Riddhima: Isn't it obvious… aunty? Your son.

Naina: what did he do now?

Riddhima: he is trying to boss me! Tell him… Tell him clearly, that I and your son are NOT really married in real.

Naina: did he try to get close to you?

Armaan: mom that is not necessary for you to know…

Armaan dropped into the room, at the very moment.

Riddhima: yes that is important for her to know. Aunty He Tried to…

Armaan: shut up Riddhima.

Riddhima: You Shut up, aunty he kissed me. And he destroyed my First kiss.

Naina: What!

Armaan: that's it! Not a word more Riddhima… or else many other first things will be snatched from you and brutally destroyed.

Naina: Armaan!

Armaan: Mom, I made it very clear. I hate people when they get into my matters! No matter if they are my Family... I DON'T like it. And if you tried to involve yourself once again…. then… I would tell each and everyone that we ARE not married. And then it would be a doom in its own way!

Riddhima: NO you would NOT do that…

Armaan: Try ME!

Riddhima Silenced herself, so did Naina.

Armaan: from here… You, Riddhima would listen to everything I say, do you understand?

Riddhima: I am not your wife.

Armaan: you are to world… So, start acting like one.

Riddhima huffed and dropped herself at the edge of bed. 'I hate you…' she thought.

Armaan: mom… is I clear to you too? No more interfering… u would take Riddhima as my wife… that's it… no spying… no talking – no stalking, over what is going on… no telling dad. Understood Mom?

Naina: Armaan… fine! But you have to assure me… that you won't do anything wrong?

Armaan: I won't mom.

Naina: fine!

Naina Left the room, in anger.

Armaan: for starters, I don't like you insulting me in public... Don't Ever do that again or else the consequences will be bad… wild.

Riddhima: you can't and u WON'T boss me, now Armaan Malik! Do You get that?

Armaan: I will. That's into my blood Woman! GET use to it!

Armaan moved towards his draw, and grabbed a packet of cigarette and lighter.

Riddhima: urggghhh!

Armaan: Secondly, no more complaining to mom… I don't mom to be involved in this… she might leak out something Riddhima. You need to be conscious of whom you talking too. Esp. Mom, she might let things out, and knowing how that Man has placed his people around me…. Someone might also be part of mom's friend group too… seriously You never know…

Riddhima: fine… I am sorry about that… I got carried away.

Armaan: anyway, you need to tell me something…

Riddhima: That is?

Armaan: Why did that Man chose you among all? What so special about you...?

Riddhima: Armaan, it's not necessary…. It will not be connected anyway!!! It was just a random choice of his.

Armaan: I want to know Riddhima… please, don't make me angry, again.

Riddhima: And you don't make me Angry Armaan! That's one of the Sore PART of my life! I Don't WANT TO DISCUSS IT! DON'T you get it!

Her eyes started to shed pure transparent pearls from the nook of her eyes. Her eyes blazed too much anger that was executed towards him. While he stared back in anger… his unconscious mind was withering with concern to take her in arms.

Armaan: Talking would ease it only…

Riddhima: No… it won't. It would never ease the pain that I feel. She rushed to him, and grabbed his collar.

Armaan: Relax Riddhima.

Riddhima: You don't know, how it feels when you are used by someone… you don't how it feels when people play with your feelings… you are one arrogant man I EVER MET! MR. ARMAAN MALIK who DOESN'T have heart to know how it feels!!!!

She blasted at him very very loudly, in result, only to be shut up by his lips, over hers. 'OH NO not The kiss' she thought.

He knew sooner or later he had to know WHY that Man chose Riddhima for this work. How did she became part of all this? Why only she?

'Because this man was surely killing two birds with one arrow. If I am one of the birds, than who is his other?' he thought. 'Well Riddhima is just one of his middle players; who is connecting two birds.' He thought more, as he kept on kissing her lips, trying to ease this poor soul… who felt lonely and wrecked at the moment.

Writer Note related to Story.

Okay, Last paragraph might confuse you, so I would describe a bit more here.

According To Arman and The story till now says, That Man Wants 2 things: firstly, he want to Get property of Armaan, and secondly is still mystery, which none knows but one thing Armaan is sure about that the second is connected to Riddhima in some way, The Man, has used Riddhima as a middle man, who is playing an important role that connects the two things… and according to Armaan, this role can ONLY be played by Riddhima and none else.
