Hey now don't get too sentimental okay'waise its going to be our first date today so are you exited'riya blushed and softly said very exited arjun'.arjun smiled at that and said be ready at 7.30 riya...she replied I will be waiting for you arjun and disconnected the call'she could handle the tough and angry arjun but the romantic arjun makes her nevous and the ever talkative riya would be left speechless.
7.30 pm
Arjun was waiting outside the mukherjee mansion'riya came outside and she literally blew him away she was wearing a beautiful halter neck blood red gown'she had left her hair open'.she just had her brown lether clutch and her cell with her'.riya was left spellbound when she saw arjun'for the first time she was seeing him in casuals he was wearing a black shirt with blue jeans a very common combination but he looked out of the world in it'she felt nervous and walked towords arjun'arjun lifted his hand and tucked a fringe behind her ear and said you look breath taking riya'marne ka irada hai kya'riya blushed and replied aap bhi kam nahi lag rahe'I hope hum kisi private jagah jaa rahe hai kyunki mujhe jealous feel hona acha nahi lagta'arjun and riya looked at each other for a while and then burst into a fit of laughter'arjun said ab chalo ya hansi se hi peth bharna hai'he opeaned the passenger seat door for her'she sat in and mumbled a thank you'he sat on the drivers seat and drove.
They reached china grill restaurant and riya almost squeeled and said yeh toh mera fav restaurant hai aapko kaise pata'arjun said mujhe pata nahi tha mein toh tumhe bas apne fav restaurant mein leke jaana chahta tha'riya gaped at him,arjun said haan yaar hum toh ache dost hai phir bhi hum dono ke ye baat nahi pata thi'riya chucked and said ab andar chale'they walked inside the waiter showed them their cabin'this restaurant had cabins so the customer could have their privacy'they ordered the food and kept on talking about random things for a while'.they ate they chatted'arjun paid the bill and said park mein walk ke liye chale'riya said okay'anyways she wanted to spend more time with arjun.
They were walking in silence'but it was not uncomfortable for them'arjun broke the silence by saying riya I want to talk to you about something very important can we please sit on the bench'riya agreed'arjun looked a bit tensed so riya held his hand and squeezed it and said arjun you are going to be my life partner and I am going to be yours there shouldn't be anything that you cant share with me'I promise if its something big and uncomfortable for you to reveal it I will think about it with a clear mind and not overreact'please trust me
'arjun was awed by her simplicity'he knew that she was childish most of the times but very mature if the situation requires it'arjun said that its not about me who has to trust you I already do that but its you who has to trust me'.riya I want you to know everything about me'I want this relationship based on truth and if you want to back out from this marriage after listning to this then I completely understand'riya kept the cool faade from outside but she was panicking from inside'she really liked arjun and she did not want to loose him'she was about to tell him that she does not want to know anything that's related to his past
and before she could do that arjun said that he had a relationship with roshni when he was in college
'riya was rendered speechless'she was shocked she could not mutter a word arjun's words were ringing in her head'arjun slightly shook her she came out of her trance'her eyes welled up'arjun felt terrible seeing her like that'riya was about to remove her hand from his hold but he held on to her tighter and said riya please listen to me first
'when I was in college roshni bhabhi and I were good friends and then she asked me out I only use to see her as a good friend but I thought that I should give it a try maybe I will end up liking her in that sense or even fall in love with her'because she was the only person who understood me or so I thought..but as time went by my feelings for her did not change at all infact her becoming my girlfriend made me distant from her'it was like I did not recognize my best friend at all'it became so awkward for me to share my feelings and my thoughts with her'.the one person who I could talk about anything under the sun was lost somewhere'that's when I decided to breakup with her'and with that breakup lost my best friend as well'now she is only my bhabhi my brothers wife,I respect her a lot but that's it'please try and understand me riya
'.riya was thinking very hard she thought from his prospective and found that he was right'if it was any other girl she would have not thought about it so much'everybody has a past and so does arjun'.that girl being her rosh di should not change her judgement regarding this matter'
she looked into arjun's eyes and said I understand arjun and I don't blame you but please answer my one question what if you feel suffocated in our relationship then what'.arjun was relieved that riya understood him and he understood her reason for her to ask such a question'he answered her saying riya its not just friendship between us'
I really like you and the thing is that I don't have any doubt in my mind that our relationship can work'I agree that I found my friend in you..after roshni I never thought that I would be friends like that with anyone but you came and changed everything'agree that I see my best friend in you but I also see a lover my feelings for you are beyond friendship'and trust me riya I would never want to hurt you deliberately and I wanted to tell you all this because you have the right to know every aspect of my life
'riya looked at him with admiration she bent a bit and kissed him on his cheek and whispered thank you arjun for sharing this with me
'ummm arjun if you don't mind me asking did you ever I mean did you get close with di
'.arjun smiled at that question and said riya you don't have to ask my permission to ask me something and as for the answer to your question its no I and roshni never came that close only a few hugs and they also were friendly nothing intimate
'riya saw the sincerety in arjuns words and said arjun I do trust you'and I don't want to back out from this marriage cause even my feelings for you are beyond friendship
'arjun was elated hearing that'.he hugged her tightly and riya responded to the hug'they sat there hugging each other,they sprang apart as riya phone started ringing'.she answered the call'after the call ended she said arjun I think we should go home mom says there is a lot of preparations to do as its our engagement tomorrow
'arjun smiled and said that only one week and then I would never have to drop you home'.riya blushed at that'he dropped her home
walked out of the car to leave her till the door step riya turned and said that I had the best time arjun thankyou and thankyou once more for telling me about your past
'riya its my pleasure'even I had the best today riya he then slowly wound his arms around her and took her into a warm hug'riya lifted her head up slightly arjun put her fliks of hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead'.good night riya'riya kissed his cheek and said good night arjun please come soon tomorrow.
