PART 11

Riddhima: Oh God I hate Him!!!! Urghhh

Anjali: Whattt!

Anjali frowned. While Riddhima gave a nervous giggle and gulped.

Riddhima: I meant… I hate him for doing this… infront of you di… it's embarrassing.

Anjali: Okay if you say so…anyways, lets start packing… between how long do you want me to hide there with dad and mom?

Riddhima: Dii… I don't know… I mean, Armaan knows all, we will sort this issue, till then you guys enjoy out there okay.

Riddhima took Anjali in her arms; with moisten eyes, while Anjali hugged her harder.

Anjali: I don't know… Riddhima, leaving you here in trouble which I don't even know… I feel really awful.

Riddhima: I know but you going to do this for mom and dad right di?

Anjali: ya… I will.

Anjali kissed Riddhimas forehead, and started packing.

******************

Riddhima was really silent, all the back to Malik house… She had just sent off Anjali and her parents to Paris, how she wished she can join them… and all this trouble end up like a nightmare. Armaan had been to supportive, she was glad he was a nice guy… he had promised her parent trillion time that he would take care of her… and her parents and Di had trust of him..

Armaan: you seem to be quite silent.

Riddhima: Just missing them…

Armaan: I can understand… you saw them after a month and now you sent them away, it will be tough and its going to tougher in future Riddhima… just hold on to your self okay..

Riddhima: hmmm… so any progress in finding that man?

Armaan: not really. My guy is working over it. Hang on a sec, I am getting a call.

He parked his car on the side, and picked up his buzzing phone…

Armaan: Yes, Raaj? Like Now…… okay I will come just be in my cabin.

Riddhima: what happen? Was it your P.A Raj?

Armaan: yes… he is calling me to office… he wants me to sign some papers, he need them to fax it to London tomorrow morning.

Riddhima: oh…

Riddhima uneasily moved in her place… she was tense, did they knew about her family going away, were they calling them their on purpose? Questions drowned her in thoughts, till they reached the office.

Riddhima: You have a nice office.

Armaan: hmmm…

Riddhima: Armaan… just be careful around him. You get it? And don't do anything stupid, your cabin has lots of cameras – hidden camera's you getting?

Armaan: hmm I know… but we can show them what they want to see Riddhima… right.

Riddhima: what they want to see? I don't get you?

Armaan: You would… just act accordingly okay. Like you love me and all.

Riddhima: Don't you dare think of kissing me…. Again. To show them.

She angrily glared at him as they stood in the lift. He smirked and replied.

Armaan: I wasn't thinking of kissing… but I don't mind, doing it, because you daring me.

Riddhima: okay, fine… I am sorry. No daring. Just don't kiss me! Understood?

Armaan: that's a request or order? Please be specific.

Riddhima: Request Armaan. Why are you such a pain?

Armaan: I don't know… may be I like to be…

They walk into his cabin, to find his P.A raj…

Raj: Hey Armaan. And this is Riddhima, am I right Armaan?

Armaan: Yea… you met her before?

Raj: not really why do you ask?

Armaan avoids answering him that; to which Raj passed Riddhima, an angry look once Armaan looks down to read the file. Riddhima nervously, bit her lower lips and stared down, though raj was glaring at her bad enough that was giving her shivers, which Armaan was noticing silently… he could see Riddhima scared, and he was hating it… he felt like punching Raj's face right away, but he controlled.

Armaan: Riddhima why don't you settle down at the couch… I would take few minute to read this file.

Raj: it's a huge file… Armaan. I read it already, all the clauses are right. You just need to sign it off. And go back home, with your newly wedded wife, I mean, you have beautiful night ahead. Right?

Armaan: don't worry about my personal life Raj. I would handle that. And about file… you know I don't sign off any papers like that. I would take the file home and sent back with driver early morning. Okay?

Raj: if... that's what you want?

Riddhima quietly settled down on the couch and played with her phone, totally avoiding any sort of signal from Raj or any sort of glare.

Armaan: okay so… Riddhima… I am going to washroom, then we would leave home okay?

Riddhima: yea sure.

Raj, didn't miss that chance, once Armaan was inside the washroom, he grabbed Riddhima by her arm and yanked her up, she yelped softly, the cuts at her arm made her wither as his hold was hard on her.

Raj: Where the hell did your family Go?

Riddhima: I don't know okay. Even if I knew I would not tell you! Leave me!

Raj: you bitch… you think – you can do anything you want? Once you are out of our range? Let me tell you something, once I know about your family, I would cut them into small pieces you understand me.

Riddhima: if you do that remember Raj I would cut You and your friend in so many pieces and serve Dogs – You understand me now Raj.

Raj: well well… not bad. You got your tongue back Han??

He pulled out a small knife, slackkk! Riddhima kept her hand near her belly button and scratched her skin which started to ooze blood.

Riddhima: ahh…. You are dead, if armaan get to know this.

Raj: whatever… you know the plan! Follow it! Make him wild for you! Let him have S** with you, if that he wants dare not stop him… make it do to you so much that he is your puppy dog! And then Make him do what we want from him… make him sign off his property to us! Do you get that? Say yes… or you would get another cut. Bitch.

Riddhima: yes… okay. Now leave me!

Raj: and yes, don't let him read the file I am giving him right now… just make him sign off and tell him to send back first thing in morning.

Riddhima: I can't do that! I can't stop him from reading can I ! he would get suspicious of me!

Raj: oh come on! it's simple for a woman! Just heat his bed, for tonight and he would just throw the file at side! You get that?

Cluck.

Armaan: yea so I am done! Shall we leave Riddhima?

Riddhima: yes…

She whispered and turned towards the door and started to walk. Armaan could sense something bad, he did heard few whispers from outside but it was not very clear… Armaan picked up the file and left the office, after bidding bye with raj. He was sure there was something in the file that Raj didn't wanted Armaan to know, which he would find anyway. Tonight. In car, Riddhima pulled her seat back and rested.

Armaan: What happened to you? You look worn out? Did raj spoke to you about something…? Riddhima?

Riddhima: Armaan… let's get to home quick.

Armaan: yes I am driving… but tell em what happened to you?

She pulled her arms up to her face and pressed her forehead with her fingers while brushing her non-stoppable tears. Armaan was noticing all this and he was shock that they had so bad impact on her, she was with Raj for like 5 minute and he did this to her? What must have she gone through when she was with them for 1 month. His eyes dropped over her stomach, and he placed his feet on the breaks…

Armaan: Crapp! Riddhima there is blood over your stomach.

He pulled out his napkin and kept it over her stomach, softly.

Riddhima: Armaan… I am fine. Just get me home quickly… please. I feel like fainting.

Armaan: You want water?

He grabbed the bottle from behind and gave…. She drank from it silently and kept the bottle back

Armaan: that son of bi**** is going to die from my hands… couldn't you just call me from washroom! Damnit… why did you let him put his hand on you…!

He turned to find her unconscious. He hit the steering, and drove fast towards home. He Picks her up and moved up to their room, as he didn't want any one to see them. Dropping her slowly on bed, he pushed away her sari off her chest to get it away from her wounded stomach and then he grabbed his medical box.

Armaan: okay this is going to burn her… but she ain't conscious enough… so I would just clean her up.

He cleans her wound and applied the ointment that she usually applies over her wound; he could see that her frown was fading away…. She was relaxed; he pulled her shoe off her. And after that he knew she was comfortably sleeping, he sat on couch to read the file with concentration. No matter how much concentration he tried to put at the moment, he just couldn't… he kept on checking on her, like if she had fever? Or he would just at her for few hours… till he just shook his head to concentrate on the file… what the heck was happening? His life was so upside down man!
