Chapter 1.
Location: Riddhima' cousins' house.
Occasion: Get togther.
There is a party at Ridz cousins house. She is cooking in the kitchen with her aunt and cousin. Then Arman and his family walk through the kitchen greeting eachother. Arman and his cousin Karan walk back out to answer their phones. Karan walks back in and sits down with the rest of the guys. Ridz is told to go next door to her other cousins house to grab the other patili (pot). As she's walking she bumps into Arman. Arman holds her to keep her from falling.
She blushes and walks out the door.
*Flash Back*
Its 2000-she's 16. She's running down the stairs to grab things for guests at a Hall where they are having a party. She runs and slips down the stairs. Arman is the only one at walking behind her going to the kitchen down stairs as well. He sees her and tries to help her up, but when he relizes she can't get up, he picks her up and carries her to the table and places her there. she was crimson red, with embarassent. she was mad that why couldn't that happen infront of anyone else.
*Flash back ends*
She continues out the door and gets the stuff and comes back. Today she had seen Arman after about 3 years. Every time they were invited to his house she would say she had work to do for her school. and when he was suppose to come over she would stay inside the room and take care of her little baby cousins. She didn't like seeing him because she could feel he heart beat starting to speet up and her blood rushing to her face making her as red as possible.
She walked back into the kitchen finishing the dish she was working on. All the aunties loved ridz, she was the perfect wife for anyone. The perfect dughter in law as well.
The day went by fast . They bot hung out with their own groups...girls with girls and guys with guys.
Ridz was very old fashioned. She believed in arranged marraiges. she wanted to stay pure for the guy she was to marry.
Riddhima went home that night and changed and went to her bed to sleep. She thought about Arman all night. She was s mad. Every time she was over him and thought she didn't have any feelings for him he'd somehow always pop outta no where.
She called Kripa, and Riya (three way) and tod them what hppened today. Started lughing. "I told you, you weren't over him yet." They bothsaid at the same time.
Kripa says- "over the last 10 years you have told me you are over him 5 times but every time you see him you decide you're not."
"I know" said Riddhima. "but i just can't help it. I mean i know he has no feelings for me and he has a new girl friend ever week" she said exaggerating. " But i don't know what to do"
"I think i'll have to tell him myself that you lke him and then you can be a couple." said Riya.
"No i don't wanna go out with him, i just like him from far away and i will get married to who my parent say." said Ridhima.
Riya- "But you're the one who's always telling us how much your parents love him..."
"i know but thats different." said Riddhima
Kripa "but how?"
Riddhima "it just is. Well im sleepy so lets meet up at our usual tomorow at 12 and bring lunch as usual."
Kripa and Riy at the same time. "Okay!!"
