PART 16

Muskaan: nai...nai....Armaan...aaj nai...aaj to tujhe batana hi padega...ki tune Ridhima ko kaise propose kiya tha...she beamed at Ridhima..



Ridhima hesitates....n blushes: umm...main....main abhi aati hun..



As she gets up to walk away from there…Anji holding her arm she said: uh huh Ridzy,....tumhein to yahhaan rehna hi hoga....she smiled..



Ridhima looked at Armaan..then turned around: Nai di….mujhe who…wohh….main…main bas abhi aati hun…



Armaan smiles…then goes forward….n holds Ridhima's hand….as she has her back to him…With his hold on her hand…Ridhima gave a light gasp…n was now feeling really embarrassed…She didnt wanna do all this...in front of everyone…



As Armaan bent on his knees…Muskaan..n Rahul..Atul n Anji..looked at them lovingly..



Armaan spoke: Ridhima…

Ridhima turned around to see him bent….looking at her really lovingly…



Armaan inhales deeply, then says: Aajkal..jab bhi apni aankhein band karta hoon…

ek pyari si surat dikhai deti hai….ek masum sa chehra … jheel si ankhen, Kaanon mein sirf tumhari meethi methi baatein hi sunai deti hain….

Who tumhara meri har baat par sharmaaana…tumhari khamoshi ka bhi mujhse baatein karna….Jab bhi apni aankhen band karta hoon, sirf tumhara chehra dikhta hai…..Aankhein kholta hoon…to tumhi ko dekhna chahta hoon…..

He caresses her hand: Meri har saans mein tum bas gayi ho…Meri har dhadkan tumhein pukarti hai…Yeh baatein hoti to sirf kitabon mein hai…lekin jab inka ehsaas hoa hai..


He inhaled deeply again: Ridhima

He stood up..n walked close to her…



A: main…wohh…He debated wheteher he should say IT to her in front of everyone or no…then looking at her deeply…her eyes filled with lil tears…n the moonlight making her face glow...he fell in love with her...right then, for the umpteenth time



A: Ridhima…I......I love yu….Kya tum mujhse shaadi karogi..??

Ridhima smiled…then nodded…n hugged him tight…



Muskaan n Anjali had lil tears in their eyes…n they smiled…so happy for Ridhima…for she was so lucky to have a husband such as Armaan…They clapped for both of them…n Ridhima smiled…she came close to Armaan n whispered in his ear: I luv yu too! Her head was neatly tucked below his chin…n his arms pulled her close to him…His one arm was across her waist…n the other hand was in her hair..


Armaan gave a small kiss on her hair…n smiled


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Its almost one in the afternoon..the next day…Arima was sleeping in her cot in her room…n Ridhima was just cleaning up her cupboard…She saw the time…n decided to call Armaan.



A: Hallo..??

R: Armaan…tumne khaana khaya…??

A: uh..haan..Ridhima..bass abhi khaane jaata hun…who abhi ek surgery se aaya hun…kuch papers check karke…..um…ek min Ridhima…hold karna..



Then turned n said: haan…umm…okay fine..yeh medicines ek baar Dr Kirti ko dikhado…aur Mr Khuraana ki file mujhe de dena please..Thanks..



A: haan…Ridhima..bolo

R: Armaan….tum abhi jaakar lunch karoge....tumnein subah nashta bhi theek se nai kiya tha….

A: Basket yaar…main ...main…yu knw main abhi bohot busy hoon..jaise hi time milega..I'll go na..…meri princess kya kar rahi hai..??

R: umm..theek hai..umm….Armaan..!

A: haan..Ridhima..jaldi bolo...I have to go...

R: …..I luv yu
Armaan smiled
A: I luv yu too Baskset..!!



Ridhima ended her call…then turned towards her cupboard..she was just picking up some old saris of hers…when she came across a really pretty lehenga…She took a look..n a smile played on her lips…She remembered the day very well...

A: achha..ek baar peeche mur kar to dekho..

R: Armaan..!!

She turned around to see Armaan standing tere…dressed in his black n red shirt..with his casual jeans on…He smiled his million dollar smile at her…

Ridhima was at first surprised..then shocked…n then tensed n worried…

She moves towards him: Armaan..tumm…tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho..?? please abhi yahaan se jaao..koi aa jayega to bohot problem ho jaayegi..

Armaan smiled: problem kya honi hai..ab to sabko pta hai ki hum dono ek doosre se pyaar karte hain to…phir...??n anyways...kaunsi di aapko bula rahi thi...zaro mujhe bhi to batana....

Ridhima knew she had been caught...She bit her lower lip....slightly blushing
Armaan smiled at how prety his to-be-wife looked...He loved her even more when she made those kiddo expressions...when she is caught...doing something...Ridhima looked at Armaan looking at her with all the love stored in his eyes...She was blushing badly...at their close contact...n his really handsome smile...Then hearing Nani's voice...

R: armaan..huh..please yaahan se jao..please..

Armaan smiled at he again: nai..nai jaoonga..he moved close to her..

R: Armaan...

A: Basket...I dont care...ab main jaa raha hun...Be there in 2 mins...bye...bye...no main kuch nai sunna chata..bye..!!
R: Armaan...Armaaan,,,!! huh...pagal

She dressed herself in a sky blue salwar kameez...n touching the lip gloss...she proceeded towards the door...She came across Padma
R: uhh...Ma...woh....umm..main kuch der ke liye baahar jaa rahi hun...abhi aadhe ghante mein aa jaoongi,,,
P: Ridhima..lekin aaj tumhari sagai hai...kahan jaa rahi ho..,,??
R:umm....maa...wohhhhh

Just then Rini n Pradeepthi...Ridhima's two best friends from college came...
Rini: umm...Aunty ji...woh kya hai na...ki Armaan jiju baahar khade hain...hamari ridzy ka wait kar rahe hain....tooo.....
Pradeephti: is liye ab aap Ridzy ko jaldi se bhej dijiye...nai to..
Ridhima now smiled as she blushed: Maa...main jaa rahi hoon...she walked out...too embarassed for words




A: Basket Kya kar rahi ho....itnii der kyu laga di..??
As Ridhima got in she said: woh...woh kuch nai....chalein..?? btw hum kahan jaa rahe hain...??
A: Woh tumhare liye surprise hai...matlab chotta sa..
R: Surprise..?????batao na...kya hai???
A:Ridhima...surprises batane ke liye thode hi hote hain...
R: nai....mujhe batao...mujhe batao..
Armaan smiled at her...n reversed the car...




R: yeh...hum...yahaan kahan aayein hain..??
Ridhima stared at a large numbe of houses..Armaan had stopped outside one such white house...
Puzzled...She came out of the car...Armaan held her hand...n they moved inside...

Ridhima saw that it was a clothes store...Confused, she looked at Armaan who went to the counter n asked the person for the ' lehenga'
R: Armaan...lehengaa..??
A: hmm....wait karo...
The person got a packet n presented it to Armaan

A: Thanks...He opened it...n out came a beautiful white n pink lehenga choli...Ridhima was surprised to see it...
R: Armaan..yeh...
He took her towards a mirror...n put the lehenga choli on her..She held it...n looked at herself in the mirror...while Armaan stood behind her...admiring her
Then coming close he whispered to her: Kaisa laga??
R: Armaan yeh....yeh mere liye...tumne......
A: main chahta hoon ki aaj shaam tum yahi pehno...pehnogi na..??
Ridhima smiled...which was 'yes of course'

The shopkeeper got another piece of cloth n gave it o Armaan: Sir, yeh dupatta,...
A: Haan...Ridhima...yeh dupatta bhi try karlo...
He put it around her...bringing it to her head....n covered it with the equally pretty dupatta...

(It was just like when they go to the store for Padma's shaadi lehenga chuunni...n Armaan puts it around her)

Ridhima looked at the dupataa n said: bohot sunder hai...Thanks.....chalein..??
Armana: hmm...he flashed his dimples to her

In the car
A: Tumhein ghar chodne ka man nai kar raha...
R: Armaan...agar..main abhi ghar nai gai na to phir Ma mujhe kabhi bhi tumhare saath baahar nai jaane deingi...
A: Achaa...ek baar shaadi ho jaane do...phir dekhte hain...kisko kiski baat manni padegi...n anyways...shaddi ke baad to unhein apni damaad ki seva karni padegi...
R: Armaaan...koi seva-veva nai hogi...Tum shaadi ke baad koi special nai ban jaooge...Tum tab bhi unke liye Dr Armaan Mallik hi rahoge
A: Haan...lekin phir... after all woh apni laadli beti ko mere hawalle kar rahe hain...to seva to karni padegi...He turned towards Ridhima's house
Ridhima shook her head...

Soon they reached Ridhima's house
Aarmaan sighed as her looked at her: Please mat jao na...
R: Armaan hum aaj shaam ko mil rahe hain na....
A: Haan..lekin shamm ke liye to abhi....checking his watch....poore 4 ghante hain...4 ghante....main tumhare bina kaise kaatoonga.....
R: Jaise aaj ak kaat te aaye ho...Aab main jaa rahi hoon..Bye!
But Armaan held her hand: Itni aasani se nai....He moved close to her...Ridhima knew a kiss was on it s way...n she blushed
Armaan move closer..ready to kiss her cheek when..

Rini, Pradeephti, Muskaan n Anji suddenly appeared on all 4 windows...n were like: ooohhh....yahann...ho kya raha hai..??
Ridhima's face turned deep red....n was like feeling soo embarassed that she immediately rushed out of the car...n in the house
Armaan smiled...n was now blushing

Pradeephti opened the door of the car: Hannji jiju...kya ho raha tha..yahaan par..??
A: uhh...kuch nai....umm...I think main late ho raha hun..taking a look at his watch...mujhe chalna chahiye...will see yu in the evening..umm...bye...
Rini: uh huh...Itni aasani se nai....agar hum Shashank uncle ko bata dein..ki kya ho raha tha...to woh to aapko.....
Muskaan: tch tch tchh....bechaara Armaan...haan..lekin ek idea hai....!
Anji: Achha....kya Muskaan...jaldi bol...
Muskaan: umm...agar humein kuch..
She rubbed her fingers...
Rini: aah...she winked to Pradeepthi: Kuch paise mil jaayen..to hamare mooh bilkul ziippp!!!
Pradeepthi: haan...right...chalo jiju...jaldi se paise nikalo
Armaan: heyy...main kisi ko kuch nai dene waala...
Muskaan: tooo...theek hai phir....Shashank Sir..!!Shashank Sir...!! she screamed
Pradeephti: Woh... Armaan aur Ridhima nahh....pta kya kar rhae the...wohhhh..she shouted
Armaan: arre....nai aaa nai yaar...ek to itni mushkiil se shaadi ke liye raazi hue hain...achha bolo..kya chahiye tum logon ko..??

Finally the rishwat thingy was over...The girls left Armaan pennyless..lol....n wen they told Ridhima about it ....even she had a hearty laugh..

That evening Ridhima was looking very stunning in that pink n white lehenga...Armaan looked hot in a white sherwani...He couldnt help but adore Ridhima..the whole evning...n when he was caught staring at Ridhima by his saaliyan...he felt really embarassed....

When it was time for the ceremony...Armaan turneed towards Padma: apna haath to layie...he said...ready to make her wear the ring....
R: Armaan...tumne shaadi mujhse karni hai ya meri ma se..
A: umm...sochna padega...kisse karrooonn..??

Padma hit him on his head: Badmaash!
They exchanged rings...n Armaan planted a big kiss in Ridhima's cheek..right there in front of everyone...Ridhima blushed n soon the engagement was over...
