Teri Bandagi AR ff upd pg 38 part 14 - Page 21

Riddhima stood in silence while a weird silence lingered in the air, she could feel herself fighting the tears back, Armaan also stood rooted in the same place he could see that she was hurt and had more than a thousand question?s in her eyes riddhima meet Ammy, my best friend riddhima looked in utter disbelief as marisha quickly hooked her arms into armaan's, she obviously thought they were meeting for the first time.

* By this time rahul and muskaan had also arrived *

Hey man tune itni der kaha laga dee bechari riddhima kitni der se intezaar kar rahi thi teri? rahul looked at armaan and riddhima and realized that they were not their usual selves

whispering into riddhima's ears arrey ridz yeh ladki kaun hai, aur armaan se itna chipak kyu rahi hai?

Anjali : *hugging marisha*? Marisha !! Wow its so great to see you after so long?

muskaan and rahul shared a quick glance between each other and then turn their heads towards riddhima, she was still standing in the same position, her eyes lowered, onto the floor

Anjali: ? ridz tune marisha ko sabse milaya kyun nahi, guys this is marisha my very sweet cousin, marisha this is atul, rahul, muskaan and?..

Marisha : Ammy ! no need to introduce him main already janti hu usse,

Atul: arrey armaan tu anjie aur ridzi ki cousin ko kaise janta hai, hum sab toh pehli bar mil rahe hai

Ar: voh main, hum dono purane dost hai bas. * he looked at riddhima?s while answering hoping that she would look up *

Marisha : vaisi ammy tum in sab ko kaise jante ho huh ??

he's my fiance ..

Riddhima felt her voice turn into a whisper as she saw marisha's drained expressions, marisha first looked amused then confused and then worried.

Marisha : oh !. She looked at armaan with a puzzled expression ? umm excuse me, I think I?ll go and get a drink, she walked far into the crowds leaving an awkward silence behind once again

Muskaan: arrey ajeeb tarah ki ladki hai, apni cousin ko wish bhi nahi kia

Riddhima : di main bohot tak gayi hu, main ghar ja rahi hu

Anjali : arrery ridz itni jaldi Marisha toh abhi abhi ayi hai, accha teek armaan tumhe ghar chor degha

Riddhima : * looking at armaan * nahi di iski ki koi zarurat nahi hai main khud chali jaungi

Anjali : come on ridz raat kaafi ho chuki hai tu ghar akeli kaisi jaayegi

Ar: riddhima main tumhe ghar chor dungha, its okay

Ri : walks out of the club with armaan behind her trying to keep up with her pace

Riddhima stops near the car and felt tears pricking her eyes again, this time unable to stop herself she let them flow

Armaan : holding riddhima's arms to turn her around riddhima pagal hogayi ho kya, tum waha se esse kyun chali aayi ?? ?

Riddhima : pushes armaan's hands of chorro mujhe, don't try and touch me !!

Armaan : tum yeh kaisi baat kar rahi ho, aakhir maine essa kiya kya hai ???

Riddhima : armaan tumne mujhe bataya kyun nahi ki tum marisha di ko pehle se bhi jaante ho?

Armaan : riddhima main battana bhul gaya tha. Bas. Dekho I'm sorry, happy now. * he could feel his anger slowly building *

Riddhima : ? Armaan, baat sirf yahi par khatam nahi ho jatta armaan, tumhare ateet ki bare mein main kuch nahi janti, yaha tak tumne aapne parents ki bare kuch bhi nahi battaya mujhe, humari engagement ho chuki hai aur tumahre parents mujhe dekhne toh dur ki baat hai hume aashirwad bhi nahi dene aye?

Armaan : riddhima chalo ghari main betto bearish hone wali hai tumhe thand lag jayegi he drags riddhima towards the car

Riddhima : CHORO MUJHE ARMAAN!! MUJHE TUMHARE SAATH KAHI NAHI JAANA? I want answers armaan !!

Hearing all the commotion taking place between the two, a small group had gathered around them

clenching his fists in anger* riddhima chalo yaha par sab log dekh rahe hai?

Riddhima : MAINE KAHA NA MAIN TUMHARE SAATH KAHI NAHI JAUNGI !!!

Unable to control the anger surging inside him, armaan tightly grips riddhima by her shoulders, causing her to gasp in pain

Armaan : FINE !! YAHI PAR RAHO !! I'M SICK OF YOU AND YOUR ATTITUDE RIDDHIMA, TAK GAYA HO MAIN TUMSE !! he loosens his grip on riddhima and roughly lets go of her, and without even glancing at her drives away.

Riddhima collapses onto the ground trying to control her tears and her stifled cries, this was the first time she had seen armaan so angry, why did she suddenly feel like this was not her armaan ? the armaan that she was engaged to? the armaan that she fell in love with.
