Chapter 64

Riddhima is embarrassed from the core as her phone keeps on buzzing. Then as she did not picked up the call it rings again. As richa is settled beside her she looked at the screen and smirked seeing "ARMAAN" flashing on the screen. Then she smiled and

Ri:''arey riddhima utha le na bechara ammy kitna pareshan ho raha hoga.''

Though all of them knows that whom might be this call is. But choose to ignore as richa directly speaks up so they too got the chance for saying something.

M:''oh ho richa tu bhi na pareshan nahin bechain ho raha hoga armaan.''

She said teasing riddhima and then nikki speaks up.

Ni:''oh ho ap log bhi na bechari bhabz ko aise hi tang kar rahein ho. Meri bechari bhabz bhai ko koi kam bhi ho sakta hain na. Jaise ki romance karna ho.''

She said teasing riddhima and hi-fiving with muskaan. Riddhima just wants that armaan here and she will strangle him to put her in this situation. Nandini looked at riddhima and she knows this is all done by her darling son. And she very well knows that he is in real trouble now seeing her daughter's expressions. So controlling her smile she speaks up.

N:''riddhima bacha ap phone par bat kar lo. Aur tum teenon ose mat tang karo meri help karo.''

Though after all this stupid teasing session riddhima never wants to pick his call. She is so mad  at him that she wants to give him hard time for  putting her in this situation. But as nandini told her to attend the call, she nodded. Then she moved away and picked up the call and as soon she answered the call, she heard him.

A:''kahan thi basket yar tum main tumhe kabse call kar raha hun. Are you fine na sweetheart?''

He asked as he settled leisurely on his chair.  Hearing his concern for once riddhima's heart fluttered but then she controlled herself as she gets reminded by the ringtone.

R:''I am fine but you are certainly not going to be fine Mr. Mallik''

She said and armaan is surprised why she is saying like that. He can feel she is mad at him.

A:''what happen baby why you are sounding so mad?''

He asked and riddhima frowned more as he asked that from her. First he is the one who puts her in this situation and now he has the audacity to ask her this question.

R:''armaan you are asking me why I am so mad as if you don't know anything.''

She said and armaan is really surprised at this off course he has no idea what she is talking.

A:''off course riddhima baby how would I know? Main tou ghar par nahin hun na sweetheart.''

He said as a matter of fact and riddhima clenched her teeth more. As muskaan who just passed from he gives her the wink, making her go more red.

R:''fine nahin pata na tou mujhe bhi tumhe nahin batana. And dare you call me again, and let buzz the idiotic ring tone 'Tu Isaq Mera.''

She said and cuts the call without letting him say anything. Then she just puts her phone on silent to avoid any other stupid teasing. Then she joined others as there is lots of to do.

Here armaan is shocked beyond limits. Did this actually happen, his basket actually cuts his call. And on top of it she is angry with him for god knows for what reason. He then just puts his phone down.

A:''yeh kya the. Riddhima ne mera phone cut kar diyya, aur vo bhi kisi bat se naraz hokar. Par maine kya kiyya hain jo aise react kar rahi hain. Had hain yahan mera dill nahin lag raha hain uske bina. Maine use yeh bolne ko phone kiyya ki that I am missing her. Par yeh tou aise bat kar rahi hain jaise pata nahin maine kya kar diyya. Aur 1 main hun yahan subh se aya hun ek minute bhi dill nahin laga kam mein. Subh se humare Honey Moon ke saath ke pal yad aa rahein hain. Mera tou kahan bilkul bhi man nahin tha use chod kar ane ko office ane ke liyye. Agar yeh meeting nahin hoti I am going to skip it anyway. Par yeh madam faltu mein bhav kha rahi hain. Had hoti hain koi reason bhi tou ho na naraz honein ka. Fine mujhe bhi nahin bat karni tumse. Agar tum aise ho na basket tou mat bhulo main bhi tumhara armaan hun, Armaan Mallik.''

He said to himself looking at her picture that is placed on his desk.

A:''aur agar tumhe faltu mein naraz hona hain tou hoti raho. Mujhe bhi bahut kam hain.''

He said and then with a frown on his face he opened his files to go back to his work. Though his heart is not here yet the workaholic and arrogant armaan mallik makes him back to the work.

In mallik mansion

Riddhima is thinking to set their room as its evening time. After sometime she will go to get busy in all the chores. And one thing she knows that if their room will be untidy, he is going to sulk. Though he himself is messy person yet he needs tidiness inside his room. So she is going to upstairs when she heard muskaan as she called her.

M:''ridzie.''

R:''han muski. Koi kam tha kya?''

Ri:"'yes madam kam hain humein jab se tu ayi hain hum sab busy hain. Aur tune bhi abhi tak humein tere honey moon ki pics nahin dikhayi han.''

She said as she too joined them and riddhima blushed as they take name of her honey moon. And that just brings all their moments fresh in her heart. Seeing her turning red nikki who comes too puts her arms around her bhabhz's shoulder.

Ni:''aur bhabz apnein abhi tak mera gift bhi nahin diye.''

She said and riddhima smiled looking at her.

R:''I am sorry kidoo. Actually jab se hum aye pehle mom ke birthday party ki preparation aur fir bas kal ka din hi milla, tou de nahin payi.''

She said and then nikki hugged her.

Ni:''oh ho bhabzz main mazak kar rahi thi ap bhi na.''

R:''nahin acha ap sab aao main sabko apke gifts deti hun.''

She said excitedly and

M:''are ridzi hum koi bhage ja rahien hain bad mein de dena yar. Aj tub hi kitni tired hain.''

Ri:''han riddhima humse kaise formality. Aj hum bas teri aur ammy ki picture dekhte hain. I bet he did not leave you for a second.''

She said nudging her elbow making her turn in bright shade of red.

R:''par mere pas tou photos hai hi nahin.''

M:''kya ridzi tum log itnein busy the ki picture bhi click nahin kar paye.''

She said opening her mouth in shock and richa and nikki laughed while riddhima turned crimson red.

R:''nahin muski aisa kuch nahin hain. Sab armaan ne handy cam mein li thi par I don't know where is that.''

She said as she really did not know where the handy cam is?

Ni:''chalo koi bat nahin vo hum bhai ke ane ke bad dekh lenge. Abhi bhabz ke cell phone mein dekhte hain.''

She suggested as she takes riddhima's phone from her hands and riddhima looked at them.

Ri:''aur ab yeh mat kehna ki ismein bhi pictures nahin hain.''

M:''kyunki tere chehre par saf likha hain ki ismein hain.''

They said making her lowered her eye lids as she blushed. Then all three of them settled on the couches that are placed on second floor in the huge passage.

M:''are aa na ridzi tere hi honeymoon ki picture hain.''

She said pulling her to sit too, but riddhima feels so shy to see their pictures.

R:''umm nahin muski tum log dekho. Main zara apna room thek karke ayi, armaan aa jayenge tou bahut gussa karenege bekar mein.''

She said but as if they are going to listen her muskii holds her to not letting her stand.

M:''arey yar abhi unke ane mein bahut time hain, ho jayega tab tak''

She said and then nikki grabbed their attention.

Ni:''vaow bhabzz you look hot.''

She said as she opened the pictures gallery and riddhima looked at her. She said and richa and muskaan too glanced at the picture too.

Ri:''yes nikki you are right.''

M:''are yar you are wrong. Ridzi is not only looking hot she is looking hottest.''

She said and riddhima looked at them as they were looking at the picture that is in green body hugging dress.

M:''vaise ridzi yeh picture kahhan ki hain?''

She asked and riddhima smiled then speaks up letting go of her inhibitions

R:''yeh muski Mauritius ki hain hum end mein vahin gaye the na.''

She said giving them a smile and they nodded and as they swiped the another one comes and and seeing that picture muskaan hooted.

M:''vaoww''

She said and both richa and nikki looked at the picture. Riddhima too glanced but she could not able to see which one they were seeing at. 

M:'' ridzie mujhe tou laga tha akela rahul hi tujhe itna tight hug karta hain. Par yahan hero ko dekh kar lagta hain he don't even want to leave you for a second.''

She said and that immediately clicked to riddhima that which picture they were seeing. It was in the plane when armaan hugged her tightly in her embrace not leaving her as she just complained for cold.

Ni:''sachi bhabhi bhai is so into you.''

Ri:''yeah riddhima looks like if he will leave you, you will run.''

They commented and riddhima blushed in red and 

R:''guys aisa kuch nahin hain. Mujhe sardi lag rahi thi us din tou.''

Ri:''oh tou sardi se bachne key eh tareeke hain my my.''

She teased her as she winked at her. Riddhima just lowered her eye lids what she else she can do now. The girls just swiped again and it is another picture of both of them.

Ni:''bhabzz yeh selfie apnein click kari hain na?''

Nikki asked as she showed the screen to riddhima and riddhima glanced at the picture. She nodded her head remembering that picture. It's from their Singapore Trip. That day both of them just get ready for the outing when riddhima get captured them in a Kodak moment.

R:''yea kiddo yeh Singapore mein click kari thi maine.''

Both of them has smiles on their faces in that picture and really looked adorable. And richa whistled seeing the next picture. It is really a hot one, in that one armaan is sitting while riddhima is almost in his lap. She remembered that day they actually thought of clicking pictures. And armaan did that making her slip in his lap.

Ri:''riddhima yar aisi pictures koi camera mein click karta hain.''

He said giving her a small look and riddhima lowered her eye lids turning into deep shade of red.

R:''richa yar.''

M:''but yar kuch bhi kaho ridzi tu aur hero is picturing mein just rock it.''

She said in double meaning while winking at her, 

R:"'muskii.''

M:''what maine kuch galat kaha hero is small beard mein looking so sexy.''

She complimented and riddhima just smiled, he chooses not to shave for some days on their honeymoon.

R(mumbled to herself):''mujhse puch uske is sexy look ne mujhe kitna tang kiya hain.''

She mumbled to herself and seeing her like that nikki asked her.

Ni:''kya hua bhabzz.''

R:''kuch bhi nahin kidoo.''

Her trance breaks as nikki called her and she just gives her a smile. Then suddenly she remembered something. Her face turned horrified as she remembered the next picture in her phone is their kissing picture. No she can't let them see, that is something so private.

R:''guys aise nahin dekh pa rahein hain. Kyun na hum ise connect karke tv par dekhe. Is se sab dekh bhi payenge easily.''

She said praying that they will agree and all three girls looked at her.

M:''nahin ridzi its ok.''

Ni:''ji bhabz koi problem nahin hain.''

R:''han par kidoo aise dekhne mein problem ho rahi hain na.''

Ri:''vaise keh tou riddhima sahi rahi hain.''

Before she can even complete her sentence nandini comes there calling them.

N:''arey tum sab yahan baithe ho, main tum logon ko kabse dhundh rahi thi.''

Seeing her all three gives her a smile then riddhima quickly asked her.

R:''sorry mom apko kuch kam tha kya?''

Na:''nahin bacha aisa kuch khas nahin tha. Maine rat ke khane ki tayari tou karva di hain. Par abhi aj snacks mein kya banaun. Kuch samajh nahin aya tou socha tumse puch lun. Tum log kar kya rahe ho vaise yahan par''

She said and muskaan answered her.

M:''mom hum na riddhima aur armaan ke honeymoon ki pictures dekh rahein the.''

She said and riddhima just lowered her eye lids. After she is her mother-in-law in her presence her cheeks ought to be turning red. Nandini smiled seeing her.

Ni:''mumma bahut achi pictures hain pata hain.''

Ri:''ji aunty you should see.''

She said and riddhima's face turned redder. What if mom starts seeing their pictures, she has no problem in nandini mom watching their pictures. But she can't let her see their kissing picture. And again this is happening because of Mr. Armaan Mallik. She told him umpteenth times not to take picture but he took. Saying 'baby I will see it when I will be in office.''

Now because of him she is stuck in this. She knows she is going to give him peace of mind when he comes back to home. Then her chain of thoughts breaks with nandini's voice.

N:''nahin bacho abhi nahin. Bad mein dekhenge abhi sab ane vale honge office se. So I need to make something with coffee and tea. Riddhima bata na beta kya banaye.''

She asked from riddhima as she knows she is the one who is going to help her.

R:''mumma garam kachori ban leti hun. Papa aur rahul bhaiya ko bahut pasand hain.''

She said giving her suggestion and nandini nodded.

N:''han par fir maani aur rohit kya khayenge, vo donow nahin khate itna oily.''

She asked and riddhima knows that well so she actually thought something for them too.

R:''unke liyye simple upma bana dete hain.''

She said and nandini nodded and then

N:''han theek rahega halka bhi hain. Chalo tum log baitho enjoy karo, main tayari karvati hun.''

She said and riddhima just shakes her head.

R:''nahin mom main bhi ati hun apki help karne.''

Ni:''main ja rahi hun mujhe Shreya ko call karna hain.''

M:''mom hum bhi baki picture kal dekhte hain.''

Ri:''ji aunty chaliye vaise hi rohit aur rahul tou ate hi bhookh-bhookh shuru karenge.''

M:''right richa rahul tou hain hi bhukkhad.''

She said and all of them moved to kitchen and riddhima quickly grabbed her phone and just throw on her bed. She thanked her stars and then mentally put a note to delete the picture before anyone can see it.

After half an hour Mallik Men walks inside after a hectic day at office. Seeing them nandini who just come and settled in the living room smiled.

N:''aa gayye ap log. Kaisa tha ap logon ka din.''

She asked as she takes away karan's coat from his hand.

K:''bahut tiring tha nandu. Riddhima kahan hain?''

He asked as he slumped on the couch while armaan hugged his mom. 

N:''abhi aa rahi hain kya chahiye karan''

K:''uske hath ki chai board meetings are always tiring.''

He said as he closed his eyes and rahul agreed with him.

Ra:''true dad they are such a pain in''

He is going to speaks something as he took off his blazer.

N:''rahul no swearing in home.''

Ra:''mom I am not going to complete it.''

He said as he takes a seat beside him then ramu comes and gives all of them water.

Ro:''kya hua choti ma koi nazar nahin aa raha. Yeh sab fir se shopping par gayi hain kya?''

He asked as he saw only nandini there no one else. 

Na:''nahin rohit beta sab ghar par hi hain, lo aa gayyi '

She said as riddhima, muskaan and richa comes from the kitchen. And seeing her karan just looked at her and

K:''riddhima beta ek cup chai milegi please it's so been tiry day.''

He said and riddhima just gives him a bright smile.

R:''ji papa yeh lijiye main bana kar hi layi thi.''

She said as she forwarded him the cup of tea and gives rahul and rohit his coffees. Then she moved to her husband and she offered him his usual black coffee. And seeing her for the moment he forgot that he is angry with her. She is looking so beautiful in that baby soft pink sari looking like an angel his angel. But then he remembered how she just gives him cold shoulder when he called her. So he just shakes his head and twitched his lips not to smile. And seeing that he did not take his coffee nandini asked him.

N:''kya hua mani coffee nahin leni bacha?''

She asked breaking their glance and even riddhima who is shocked as he did not even smile at her. Now did not have his coffee looked eagerly towards him for his answer.

A:''nahin mom mera man nahin hain. Main fresh hokar ata hun.''

He replied then picked his briefcase and moved towards their room.

N:''arey ise kya hua.''

She asked as a motherly affection the karan replied to her.

K:''tum bhi na nandu bekar mein tension leti ho yar. Maine bataya tou bahut busy din tha aj ka. Aur armaan tou aya bhi trip se vapis hain he must be tired. Abhie aa jayega fresh hokar.''

He said and nandini nodded her head as she knows he is right. Then everyone start having theit evening snacks. Riddhima's eyes are on stairs only waiting him to come. She knows he needs his black coffee badly when he has an hectic day at office. Then she heard nandini mom.

N:''riddhima bacha tu maani ko yeh upma tu apnein room mein de den. Aur dekh le use kisi cheej ki zarurat tou nahin hain na.''

Riddhima nodded and quickly put upma in one plate and took his black coffee. She almost runs to their room. As soon she entered in their room, she bites her tongue; she forgot to set their room in the entire honeymoon pictures scenario. And seeing the bed covered with pile of their ironed clothes and the couch covered with his wet towel. She gulped he is going to be super angry now. She puts the tray on coffee table and moved to their walk-in-closet hoping to find him there. And yes he is there finding something in the closet. 

R:''armaan main nikal kar deti hun tracks.''

She said softly catching his attention, though he very well knows that she is here, from the time she entered in the room. But he just turned oblivious to her presence. And now too he just did not reply anything and continue to search his tees and tracks.

R:''armaan hato na main deti hun.''

She said coming close to him but he just speaks in cold voice.

A:''really soch lo time hain tumhare pas mere liyye subh se itna time tou milla nahin tumhe ki ek room thek kar sako tum.''

He said catching her off guard though she is expecting him to be mad but this cold tone is something she never imagined.

R:''sorry armaan main abhi kar dungi. Par abhi hato main nikal deti hun na tumhare kapde.''

She tried again and apologized too as she knows this is something of her fault too.

A:''rehne do riddhima pata nahin fir kis bat par naraz ho jao tum. Aur bina bataye ki meri galati kya hain sabke samne mujhe daant laga do. Aur mera phone cut kar do.''

He said and then grabbed a vest and trousers he moved to washroom to change. Riddhima stands there dumbstruck as she did not understand for a second what happen actually. As his words sink to her, she remembered their afternoon conversation, when he called her. She shouted on him for that ring tone matter but for that isn't she needs to get angry but here it is vice versa. 

R:''armaan mujhse bematlab se naraz ho gayye. Uski us stupid si ringtone ke liye mujhe kitni teasing sehndi padi. Yahan naraz mujhe hona chahiye aur naraz ho vo gayya. Yeh kya bat hui. Ek minute armaan ne bola ki sabke saamne danta. Par maine kab ose kisi ke saamne kuch kaha. Damn it jab armaan ne mujhe call kiyya tha us time koi tha kya. But how am I supposed to know that he is with somebody. Par I guess maine bhi kuch zayda hi bol diyya na. Kitna mood kharab hain coffee bhi nahin le raha. Pata nahin khana bhi khayega ya nahin. Main bhi na bas sahi kehta hain armaan gussa tou humesha hi meri nak par baitha rehta hain. Kitna overreact kiya main. Kahan usne mujhe call kiya that he is missing me. Aur maine pyar ki do batein tou bolna dur ki bat us par hi chilla padi. Sharam ani chahiye mujhe, kitna pyaar karta hain mujhse aur mera dimag kharab hain use aise dant deti hun.''

She scolded herself then she looked at the restroom door which is still closed. Then she just served the upma in one plate and at the same moment armaan comes out of the washroom. Seeing him she gives him a smile but he did not returned it. And wearing his simple shirt over it, he walked passed her maybe moving down. He ignored her completely then riddhima just holds his hand in his making him stop.

R:''bahut zayda gussa ho na mujhse.''

She said softly as he still did not turn his face to her, his back still facing her.

R:''itna gussa ho bat bhi nahin karoge mujhse.''

She said just tilting her sideways as he tilted his face a bit. He saw her face then he just speaks up.

A:''nahin nahin main kahan naraz ho sakta hun. Naraz tou sirf tum ho sakti ho na vo bhi bina bat ke.''

He commented sarcastically and riddhima feels guilty, she really did not tell him the reason of her stupid anger.

A:''ab agar ho gayya ho tumhara tou mera haath chodogi. Mujhe bhi bahut kam hain just like you are busy and I disturb you calling in the day.''

He said coldly and riddhima did not know that he is angry to this extent. So she quickly comes in front of him and

R:''armaan please tum jante ho na aisa kuch nahin hain. Main kabhi bhi tumhare call karne se disturb ho sakti hun kya.''

She said as she looked direct in his eyes. Armaan looked back in her eyes; their eyes are mirror of their heartbeats.

A:''acha tou kis bat par itna naraz hui thi tum, ki mujhse bat tak nahin kari. Aur mujhe dant hi rahi thi.''

He said mad at her and riddhima just did not know what to say to him.

R:''armaan I am sorry for that please maf kar do na mujhe.''

She said holding her ears cutely and armaan turned his face.

R:''please na armaan maf nahin karoge apni riddhima ko. Tum hi tou kehte ho na ki meri nak par humesha gussa rehta hain''

She said cutely and armaan finally smiled. Then he hugged her as he let go of her hands from her ears.

A:''pata hain mujhe sara din gussa nak par rehta hain tumhare. Aur pata nahi mujh par hi kyun gussa utarti ho sara.''

He said as he enveloped her in his arms and riddhima hugged him back. 

R:''janti hun na sirf armaan se hi lad sakti hun, use naraz kar sakti hun kyunki yeh jo dill hain na jo apke liyye dhadkta hain.''

She said as she puts his hand on her chest over her heart.

R:''ise pata hain ki apnein armaan ko tou naraz kar ke mana lega yeh, kyunki armaan tou sirf riddhima ka hain, tou selfish ho jati hun main apnein armaan ke sang.''

She said playing with the hem of his shirt and armaan smiled as she said that so innocently.

A:''han bas pehle tang karti ho fir apni aisi hi pyari si baton se manati ho. Pata hain jab tumne mera phone cut kiya na usi time rohit aur atul aa gayye. Mera chehra dekh kar you know what they said 'armaan koi bat nahin biwi ki dant khane ki habit dal le, khas kar honeymoon se ane ke bad. You see biwiyan becomes so good knowing our weekness.''

He narrated the comment his friends passed at him and riddhima smiled hearing it.

A:''tum hansi aa rahi hain, pata hain I becomes such a laughing stock for them. Pura din mujhe aise looks de rahe the main tumse darta hun. Maine tumhe is liyye reply nahin kiya kyunki mujhe dar that tha ki tum mujhe room se bahar nikal dogi and you know will not let me touch you.''

He said making riddhima turned into deep shade of red. She never knew after honeymoon all the attention just moved to the couple returning from honeymoon. But she feels genuinely sorry for him as for her their fights should not be known to other people. These are something's that in her eyes will remain just between the couple.

R:''I am sorry armaan. Mere karan sabko pata chala ki humare beech fight hui hain.''

She said seriously and armaan looked at her. Then he settled on the couch and pulled her with him. Settling there with her holding her in his arms.

A:''arey baby apke liyye tou hum sari aindagi laughing stock ban kar rehne ko tayar hain.''

He said cheekily making her smile a bit. 

R:''acha ji tou fir gussa kyun the janab mujhse.''

She asked him back and armaan pecked her cheek.

A:''bas aise hi dekh raha tha aaj meri biwi mujhe kaise manayegi. May be dressed up in that sexy sari again.''

He said making her remember the day before their honeymoon and her cheeks turn red. As she remembered that day and then armaan while pulling her closer to himself kissed her cheeks.

A:''you know agar us din tumhare pyare rahul bhayiya nahin aye hote na tou I don't know how I will control himself.''

He said and riddhima looked at him snuggled in his chest.

R:''armaan.''

Then they both entered in the memory lane of 45 days back.

Flashback

Riddhima then rushed to restroom to get a grip over herself, to settle her clothes. As she entered in the restroom, she is in mess totally. Her sari is almost undone and it completely falls from her shoulder. Her blouse is moving away from her body as her darling husband unhooked it. She blushed seeing her lips swollen and her lipstick totally smudged. She has a lipstick mark around her neck. That makes her turned into deep shade of red; it's on her skin showing the wild actions of theirs. As he licked her neck after kissing her and that's why lipstick marks there. She then quickly took a suit to change in that. As she can't now make sari pleats and moreover these marks will be shown in her deep back blouse. As soon she changed in her suit, she washed her face and applied some lip balm on her lips to hide that swelling. As soon she reached downstairs she saw muskaan and rahul bhayiya in the living room. So they are the ones who are ringing the bell, but why muskaan actually took another set of keys. As she told her that she is going to be late. Seeing them she speaks up

R:" arey muski rahul bhayiya"

Seeing her muskaan gives her a small smile while rahul just entered inside. Armaan looked at her while she shrugged her shoulders as she does not  know anything. 

A:"oye rahul kya hua itna pareshan kyu hain everything alright na?"

He asked but rahul just gives him a nod, armaan is going to ask something,but riddhima shakes her head as she can see muskaan,s fallen face and rahul being oo much angry.

R:"vaise armaan chaliye na chal kar sote hain mujhe bahut neend aa rahi hain."

She said hinting that they should leave now. Armaan grabbed her hint and he nods his head then replied

A:" han chali I am too sleepy. Main zara gate lock kar dun. Good night guys."

He said turning to muskaan and rahul. Then suddenly hearing all the commotion nikki comes wiping her eyes.

N:" bhabhz"

She comes rubbing her eyes and seeing her riddhima gives her a small smile.

N:" bhabz itni der se door bell kaun baja raha tha?"

She asked and then her gaze fell om rahul and muskaan, before she can say anything.

A:" oye nikki yeh door bell rahul aur muskaan ne bajai."

He said as he comes after locking the gate.

N:" kya I mean kyu muski bhabhi tou spare key lekar gayi thi na."

She said and that's where rahul got blasted same moment.

Ra:" yes nikki u r right. Par yeh teri muskaan bhabhi ko kuch yad rahe tou na, ek keys tou sambhalti nahin is se pata nahin kya karegi."

He said giving muskaan a deadly glare while muskaan just lowered her eyes.

A:" bat kya hain rahul."

He asked as he sensed something wrong in his voice.

Ra: bat kya honi hain armaan yar, vahi regular muskaan aur is ki carelessness.

He said giving muskaan a glare and she lowered her eyelids

A: rahul cut it out seedhe seedhe bta bat kya hain?

He asked as he feels something very wrong in his voice as rahul is more composed than him. If rahul lose patience then something big happened surely 

Ra: yar Armaan yeh madam ne ghar ki extra keys jo lekar gayi thi vo kahin ghuma di hain.

He said giving her one big glare and leaving Armaan Riddhima and Nikki in utter shock.

N: kya par vo tou main set tha jo ap log lekar gaye the hain na bhabz?

She asked from Riddhima who was in shock too and nodded her head.

A: tumhara dimag kharab hain kya Riddhima? Tumhe pata nahin mom ne main set bahar lekar jane se mana kiya hain?

He shouted on top of his voice as he knows the main keys are with her only as mom gives her before going to Delhi. Riddhima looked at him with some tears in her eyes and she lowered her eyes knowing it's her fault.

A: Riddhima I really did not expected this from you at all.

And he is cut short in between by rahul 

Ra: Armaan us ki koi galati nahin hain bekar mein is par chilane ki koi zarurat nahin hain.

He said but Armaan thinks as always he is siding her

A: nahin rahul aj tum bhi janate ho uski galati hai.

He speaks up glaring at her

Ra: main janta hun isliye keh raha Hun Riddhima ki aaj bhi koi galati nahin hain. Aaj bhi muskaan ki hi galati hain jaise us din car accident vale din thi.

R: Rahul bhayiya please chodiye in sab ko yeh sochiye keys kaise dhundhni hain. That is more important.

She said as that is not important whose mistake is this. They can discuss it later on finding the keys is more important.

Ra: you wish Riddhima Maine sab jagah dhundh liya par nahin mili. Upar se is madam ko yad bhi nahin hain isnein kahan girayi. Kya chala jata muskaan tera agar subh tune Riddhima ki bat man li hoti. Usne kaha tha na vo spare keys ka set de deti hain. Par nahin tujhe jaane ki itni jaldi jo thi ab bhugto baith kar.

He said glaring at her and this time muskaan finally speaks up

Mu: bas kar rahul kar se mush par chillaye ja raha hain. Manti Hun galati hui hai par itni badi tou nahin. I agree ridzi ne kana tha duplicate keys ke liye, par us se kya farak padna tha, thi to vo bhi ghar ki hi na.

She snapped back at him as she is listening to him from quite sometime now. Hearing him rahul gets more angry and he 

Ra: muskaan

He was cut short in between by Riddhima 

R: rahul bhayiya please use nahin pata na.

Ra: tou Riddhima ise pata hona chahiye yar Ab is ki bhi kuch responsibilities hain had hain muskaan.

M:mujhe nahin samajh aa raha hain tum bat ko itna badha kyun raha hain. Keys nahin mil rahe hain tou hum locks hi change Kara lenge. Tu chinta mat kar main kra dungi kal subh hi.

Hearing her rahul gritted his teeth but this time Armaan replied

A: vo tou karane hi padenge par vo itna easy nahin hain. It's atleast 2 days process.

He said thinking about all the mess

M: Armaan par 2 days we will get a good lock changer.

She again speaks up technically she don't know anything so giving the ideas. But rahul is getting mad at her with every passing second, fine she don't know anything but can't she shut up understanding the gravity of situation.

A: well muskaan Mallik mansion ke Har door ke triple locks hain that too coded so it will take time. Moreover the main set have the keys of lockers too, so it becomes too much risky now. And some areas we don't have even duplicate ones like mine room. And every room opened with security code so the lock changer needs at least 2 days to get it done.

He said finally explains why they all are too tensed.

N: but bhai parso tou party hain na.

She asked and Armaan nodded in yes thinking what to do

A: Han Nikki vo bhi chalo I will handle but main thing Ali is not here for 2 days tou locks kaun badlega?

He replied worrying in this situation and rahul

Ra: shit Ali is not here. Aur uske bina no body can do this.

Now hearing all this muskaan finally know why they all are worried and why rahul was hell mad at her.

M: I am so sorry rahul mujhe nahin pata tha yeh sab. I am so sorry mere  qaran itni badi problem ho gayi hain I am so sorry.

She apologised as she now understands that they are in a big mess now.

Ra: Han tou ghar ki taraf thoda dhayan degi tou pata hoga na.

He again taunted her as he is tired of her carelessness. Before muskaan can say anything Riddhima again speaks up as

R: rahul bhayiya please is topic ko yehi band kijiye. Filhal yeh sochiye is problem se kaise bahar nikle. Armaan mujhe bahut tension ho rahe hain.

Though she is making everyone calm from getting mad at muskaan, but deep in her heart she is tensed. Armaan see her tension and fear in her eyes. Tension offcourse for the keys and fear that somewhere  she fails mom. She trusted her with the house, though Nandini mom is nowhere going to held her responsible but he knows his basket. Sighing he turned towards her 

A: dekhte hain kya kar sakte hain. Par abhi ke liye sab rest karo jakar. It's quite late now.

Ra: par Armaan keys ka kya?

He asked as he is still worried for the safety.

A: subh dekhte hain rahul kya kar sakte hain. Abhi tu chal main gate ko triple lock kar dete hain. Aur main Shamsher ko call karta hun he will tighten the security. Basket tum log rest karo,Main rahul ke sath sare codes check karke aya.

He said assuring her with his eyes, he moved with rahul. Then Riddhima nodded and

R: Nikki chalo bacha tu rest kar kal tera exam hain na bacha.

N: par bhabz.

R: koi par var nahin tu chal aur tu kyun tension leti hai hum hain na.

She said making her calm as she has exam next day and she don't want to take her tension. Hearing her Nikita nodded and finally tucking her in her bed Riddhima makes her way towards her room when she heard muskaan's voice 

M: ridzi.

Hearing her she stopped in mid and turned to her, like everyone she too mad at her. She wants to scold her too but she is controlling herself. But at the same point she knows she has her enough scolding. Knowing her rahul bhayiya she knows she will be having tough time in following day too.

R: Han muskaan.

She answered politely not getting mad at her

M: ridzi I am sorry please yar  mujhe maf kar den. Meri vajah se bahut problem ho gayi, mujhe teri bat subh man leni  chahiye thi. I am so sorry.

She apologised and riddhima knows she is genuinely sorry. That's why she didn't say anything to her otherwise if anyone else would have been at her place she will definitely gave him or her peace of mind.

R: Its ok muskaan. Main yeh tou nahin kahungi tune galati nahin kari hain. Galati tou tune kari hai par main yeh bhi dekh rahul hun tujhe apne galati ka ehsaas hai. Tou koi bat nahin, par 1 bat hain kuch cheeeje bahut important hoti hai aur jiska humein kuch na pata ho us bare me dusre ki bat man leni chahiye. Is se humara nuksan nahin hota kabhi bhi samjhi.

She said try to make her understand not wanting to hurt her.

M: Han ridzi tu thek keh rahi hain, main koshish karungi age se main aise koi galati na karun par abhi ke liye tou meri vajah se bahut problem ho gayi na.

R: hmm par koi bat nahin Armaan aur rahul bhayiya sab dekh lenge. Ab tu ja aur change kar ke rest kar.

She said and muskaan nods and left for her room. Riddhima too moved inside her room. She is tensed what she is going to answer mom, she has trusted her so much. Tears welled in her eyes as she thought about it as somewhere she fails mom. And that's the same moment when she feels one pair of arms holding her from her waist. And just feeling that touch she leaned back resting her head on his chest. Armaan holds her more closely to him, he knows she is tensed. He can sense in her body language and same point he feels some water drops on his hands. And immediately he makes her turn towards him facing her, and finds her green almond eyes filled with tears. Cupping her face in his palms he wiped her tears

A: basket kya ho gaya kyu ro rahi ho tum.

And she just snuggled more in his chest

R: Armaan I failed mom unhone ne kitne Vishwas se mujhe keys di thi aur Maine vi ho di.

A: Riddhima yar keys tumne nahin khoyi muskaan ne khoyi hai.

He reminds her while rubbing her back try to make her calm.

R: pata hai mujhe par mom ne to mujhe di thi na to yeh meri responsibility thi. Muskaan ki nahin, Galati meri hain I am at fault.

She said while fresh tears fell from her eyes,Armaan slowly de tangled her from himself and he kissed her in her forehead.

A: pata hain mujhe aur I know keys tumhari responsibility thi aur you are answerable to mom technically hain na ( she nods her head and Armaan wiped her tears) par yeh tumhari galati bhi nahin hain. Tum use mana bhi nahin kar sakti thi hain na though you tried ( she again nods in yes) tou mom will understand tum tension na lo. 

He said making her understand but Riddhima's mind still occupied there.

R: par Armaan ab kya hoga?

She asked and Armaan looking in her eyes

A: I admit Riddhima thodi problem hai you know getting every lock recharged is a task, but I will manage. I will call Ali in the morning and will request him to come as soon as possible. Till then I am tightening the security.

He said and Riddhima nodded and she hugged him knowing this is one of task but she has trust on him.

R: I love you armaaan.

A: I love you too basket.

Then suddenly they comes back to present with the knock on the door.

Present

Riddhima detangled herself from Armaan and answering the door. It was kaka and seeing him Riddhima smiled and

R: ji kaka.

Rk: Riddhima Bitiya vo bhabhi ji ap ko aur Armaan baba ko Khane ke liye bula rahi hai.

R: ap chaliye kaka hum abhi aye.

She said and kaka left while Riddhima comes inside again and quickly grabbed armaan's clothes.

R: yeh lo Armaan aur chalo jaldi se change karke ao dinner par sab wait kar rahein hain  humari.

She said and was about to move out when he holds her hand making her spin and she is in his arms again. Riddhima is shocked with his action 

R: Armaan kya

But words never left her mouth as he takes her in heated frenzy exploring every inch of her mouth, kissing her softly yet urgently. Riddhima firstly was resisting him but then finally give in. That makes Armaan smile in between the kiss as she takes his upper lips in her and armaan chewed her lips in his ones. His hands roamed all over her side curves making her gasp hard. And armaan 's tongue entered inside his mouth.He start kissing her passionately exploring each and every corner of her mouth while riddhima did the same. And armaan pulled her closer to himself while his hands explored her bare waist siding her sari pallu. As riddhima's hand moved in his hairs caressing his scalp and that arose him more. And soon their tongues met with each other, and they fought for dominance. Both moaned in pleasure as they traced each other's mouth. They keeps on kissing each other, passionately putting their desires in the kiss. Finally after few minutes riddhima breaks the kiss as she feels the need of air. She pants hard but armaan just did not stopped there, he leaves trail of kisses along side of her neck. Riddhima knows she has to stop him otherwise they will never go out for the dinner so she just pushed him And runs from there without looking back. Armaan just smiled at her reaction knowing why she stop him and pushed him, ruffling his hairs he landed on the bed mumbling

A: man I love her so much I love you basket.

He smiled as he confessed his love for her one more his basket his his life.
