here's the first part... lemme me know how it is!!

The story continues from the part where Shilpa and Armaan are in Panchgani at the orphanage. Back at sanjeevani Riddhima and Sid have just agreed to a proper wedding after Shashank's proposal. Riddhima and Sid are both pretty sure that this is what they want. Whereas Armaan on the other hand is really upset about the whole issue and disappears from the orphanage leaving Shilpa really worried abt him.

PART 1:

"Didi, our shuttle cock's stuck on the tree. Please get it for us….please….please…" said the ten year old Ria.

"Arre!! How did it go there honey?? Were the two of you playing in the park instead of the court?? " Shilpa asked.

"See I told you we should have played in the parking lot!! You never listen to me!!" pouted Abhimanyu. "All you do is fight with me over everything!! Girls are weird.. Aren't they Shilpa di?? hehe"

"Well Abhi in case you haven't realized m a girl too you know??" Shilpa answered amused.

Abhimanyu shrugged in all the awkwardness of a twelve year old kid.

"Well boys are dumb.!!! "Ria said smiling sweetly. "But I did tell you to play in the court instead of the parking lot. There are so many cars there… anyways Shilpa di can you please get us the cock!! Armaan bhaiya's not here… " Ria said a lil sadly.

Shilpa noticed the unhappy look on both their faces. With you on that one guys…where are you Armaan ??? m gonna kill you once I find you!!!! Shilpa thought.

"Chalo chalo, don't get all sad on me now!! Lets go and get your shuttle cock."

With that they headed back towards the centre on the garden where there were a lot a tall trees. Shilpa climbed on the tree and caught the shuttle cock. thank god I wore a jeans today!! Imagine climbing in a suit…Phew!! But climbing on trees is fun. Haven't done that for long time now. I think I really should---

CRACK!!!!CRACK!!!

"Awww!!! M gonna ------" Shilpa yelped. The branch that was balancing her on the tree snapped. She might just have fallen and cracked her skull if not for a strong pair on arms. From the tree directly into someone's arms!!! Shilpa shut her eyes tightly afraid if this was just a dream.

"Why is it that every time I find you, I have to rescue you from some situation?" a deep, amused voice asked.

Shilpa opened her eyes, looked at her savior. "Armaan!!! Tum…Tum… " she whispered. She stared at him, too shocked by his sudden appearance to react. Her eyes moved over his face, her heart racing she continued looking at him.

Armaan gazed at the woman he was holding. He should put her down, and he will do so, just in a moment. He just couldn't let go of Shilpa…. Shilpa!!! Hey, it's Shilpa not Riddhima!!

"Well?? What were you doing up there?? Trying to scare other monkeys??" he prompted.

Shilpa snapped out of her trance. "I..I…I was getting the shuttle cock for the kids.. And what do you mean other monkeys??? Are you implying that m one of them or are you?? You… you… chimpanzee!!! Put me down now!! I said arghhh----"

Thump!! She landed on the soft grass.

"You jerk! I told you to put me down… not drop me like that!! Awww..."

"It serves you right for calling me a chimpanzee… ms. Nautanki… I dropped you on the grass.. so don't pretend to have gotten hurt." Armaan smiled.

Shilpa looked at him and smiled grudgingly.

"Okay okay… You know me too well." And she suddenly remembered something. She stood up and glared at him. "I forgot I am not talking to you. Where the hell have you been?? I had gone crazy with worry. I already have 15 children at the orphanage to take care of… I shouldn't have to worry about you too! Where were you?"Shilpa asked him all fired up.

Armaan stared at her. She looked so beautiful…. He shook his head.

"Well, I wanted some time alone to think about stuff….personal stuff…"Armaan gritted his teeth. He didn't have to explain himself to her.

"I know that its difficult for you to digest Riddhima's wedding… but---"

"Shilpa back off!! Look we're friends and everything but i don't need your advice. I don't want you to get hurt, but this thing with Riddhima is complicated okay…"

"I get it…" Shilpa shrugged."anyways how about a coffee?? Let's get some coffee and then finish up the paper work here."

They smiled at each other and walked towards the office.
