Part 2 – Crazy Beginnings

" What? Us as roommates. You have to be joking right? " Replied Riddhima with a glare to Armaan who was still holding onto her back.

" No, not at all. You are Riddhima and He is Armaan and you have been assigned the same room but don't worry. The room has two small parts. You are just sharing the apartment, not the entire room. You will have to share everything but your rooms and since you are so friendly with each other, I don't see a problem as to living together." Replied the sister with a smile on her face.

Armaan smiled at Riddhima and the sister. " Of course not, It will be a rocking time right Riddhima"

" Yeah" replied Riddhima with a fake grin.

" Let me show your place now, come along"

Armaan and Riddhima stood up while Riddhima glared at Armaan to let her go, He refused and they made their way down to their new place.

On the other side, Atul and Anjali were sitting with Father Edward looking at them.

" Isn't this wonderful? Two of the brightest stars are paired up together. Atul Joshi and Anjali Gupta."

Anjali glared at Atul who stared above the ceiling.

" Atul Joshi, the world surgeon's Omi Joshi's son. It's a pleasure to see you here."

" Omg the brain surgeon's kid? I was expecting someone smart and good looking but this guy is nothing like it" thought Anjali to herself.

" And of course precious Anjali Gupta, it's a pleasure to see you here as well"

" This is the dean's daughter? She looks more like icy queen to me than a dean's daughter. Why do I get stuck with the bad people" thought Atul to himself.

Both of them smiled at the Father who told them to shake hands and which they did. And they 3 made their way into the new place.

Muskaan was sitting in front of Sister Ava who looked at her like she had lost it. She stared at Muskaan's curls and did a tick tick. Muskaan stared at her.

" Muskaan Chadda, one of the brightest kids we have from Punjab here. Very well. Muskaan, your roommate is Rahul Grewal. And He is a very sporty yet intelligent kid. I think you guys will go along fine"

" Hello Mam."

" Hello Rahul, welcome. Meet Muskaan, your new roommate.

" Hi." Both replied at the same time.

" I am stuck with this curl ball, Oh god, the bathroom is gonna be mess.."

" Babaji, I don't deserve this. If you had to pair me up with a guy, why didn't you pair me up with someone good looking. How can this guy be good in sports or in looks?"

"Come along children, let me show your new place"

The day had begun for some people while for others, it was annoying to be with someone they had to spend this time.

Armaan and Riddhima had arrived at their apartment and after the sister left, it was lethal.

" How dare you touch me Armaan?"

" Excuse me, it does not give me pleasure to touch you but"

"But what?"

" But, the fact is that your top has a had a cut and in order to cause more problems, I kept my arms around it"

Riddhima realized as she felt bare skin.

" I am sorry Armaan"

" Yeah, well thanks for your sorry. I don't need it"

And he left and slammed his door.

" Oh god, I should learn to know the truth before jumping to conclusions"

On the other side, Atul and Anjali moved in their apartment. Anjali spent most of her time in her room while Atul realized he was hungry. He went downstairs and made himself some pasta. Anjali came out of her room to see him eating the pasta.

She stepped down and grabbed herself milk , chair and pasta can. Struggling to see her with it, He offered her some of his pasta which she refused.

" Hey listen, I didn't put poison in it, you are free to help yourself and plus I don't think I am gonna be finishing this myself" offered Atul.

Anjali smiled at his comment and grabbed some pasta from him.

" Thanks"

" No problem"

Just then they heard a noise outside their apartment and both rushed to see what it was all about.

Inside the small apartment, Muskaan was feeling suffocated. " God, itni small space and 2 people have to live here and I have to live with him.

Just then Muskaan heard a noise.. " AHHHHHHH"

Rahul was getting ready for a hot date just then he heard her scream.

"He rushed down to see her yelling loudly.

" Hey what's wrong Muskaan?"

" Look here. The ant is bleeding. Yuck, I can't stand the sight of blood"

Rahul looked at her surprised. " You can't stand blood and you are gonna be a doctor?"

She quickly stopped talking and turned around and stared back at him.

" Umm, I meant I can't see animals bleed.." quickly trying to cover up.

Anyways Rahul smirked at her and took the tissue paper and took the ant and threw it down the trash can.

" There it should make you all better"

" Thanks"

" No problem"

Just then they heard a noise and rushed down to see it.

" Help" someone squirmed…

Riddhima heard the noise and made her way outside the window to see a guy hanging.

" Omg, what are you doing? Are you out of your senses?"

" Listen, I can't explain right now, just help me please.."

" Yeah sure"

As Riddhima looked at it, she could go left or right in this case. And it was danger for all the way through but she knew she just had to help this guy. She stepped down on the handrail and before she knew it, she missed a step..

" Help" yelled again.

Armaan couldn't concentrate with this noise outside. He opened his window to see Riddhima hanging by the wire. He was shocked.

" Wow, it must be nice outside like that" replied Armaan with a grin.

" Yeah, it's always been my dream to hang around the wire like this" replied Riddhima with a glare.

" Nice. I guess I should let you hang" replied Armaan.

" Armaan, get down here this instant and help me" replied Riddhima.

" Last time I tried to help you, I got in so much trouble, not this time sweetheart" replied Armaan with a grin.

" Fine. I don't care either. If I am destined to die, I am gonna die" replied Riddhima.

Armaan knew it was pointless to argue about it and all he could think of was to help his crazy roommate out to begin with. He started to look and see how he could help her just then.

" If you take this much time Armaan, I am gonna defiantly fall" came a reply from Riddhima.

" Riddhima, if you let me think, I could help you"

" If you take this much time to think Armaan, then it's pointless"

" Shut up Riddhima and let me think" replied Armaan with a glare.

Riddhima knew it was pointless to argue with him and she just hoped he helped her.

" Riddhima" came a reply.

It was Muskaan. " Omg, what happened? Are you okay?"

" No Muskaan, I am fine. I just love hanging here like a superman"

Rahul couldn't help but smirk at this while Muskaan glared at him.

" Okay Riddhima, wait there, I am coming"

As Muskaan proceeded, something grabbed her. She turned around to see Rahul looking at her.

" Listen Muskaan, it's dangerous out there. Let me go or we will have two people stuck there".

" No thanks Rahul. You can go to your date if you wish. I'll help my friend"

Muskaan refused to listen to Rahul and as she made her way, she also missed a step.

" Thanks Muskaan. Now, I not only have to worry about me, but you as well"

" Hey Riddhima, we were born to share troubles. You carried my load when we first met and I am carrying yours" smiled Muskaan.

Riddhima smiled at this and gave her hand to Muskaan.

" Armaan do something already" cried Riddhima from below.

Armaan was still thinking and Rahul was also thinking. Just then Rahul got a call.

" Hey Rahul baby, am missing you , when are you coming"

" Sorry Sherry, I won't be able to make it tonight"

" What, how come?"

" Seems my roommate is in a huge mess right now?"

" So, leave her there. It's not your problem nah?"

" No Sherry, it is m duty to help her." Replied Rahul and he cut the phone before she could say anymore.

Muskaan heard this and couldn't help but smile.

" Riddhima and Muskaan, are you okay?" came the reply from nearby.

" Atul" screamed Riddhima in joy.

" Thank God you are here Atul. Please help yaar"

" Yeah guys, I'll help. Let me see what I can do" thought Atul to himself.

While Atul, Rahul and Armaan thought, Anjali decided the rope was not enough and it was slip within mins. Using her sharp brain skills, Anjali grabbed a rope and swing it over to Riddhima and Muskaan's side.

" Here, take hold of this" replied the person above.

Riddhima and Muskaan looked to see Anjali there.

" Thanks" replied both of them.

Muskaan and Anjali took side of the rope and climbed but just as Anjali suspected, the rope was not enough and it started to slip. Muskaan was shocked and so was Riddhima just then two major hands grabbed them. It was Armaan and Rahul.

Both of them were back into their apartments when Anjali and Atul rushed over.

" Are you girls alright?"

" Yup, we are fine. Thanks"

Anjali stood there and walked away. Riddhima stood up.

" Anjali.."

She turned around.

" Thanks"

" No problems. Just be careful. Don't hang around like Tarzan next time"

" Yeah, we will make sure"

Anjali left for her room followed by Atul.

Armaan and Riddhima remained in their apartment and Rahul and Muskaan flooded to theirs.

All of them returned to their rooms with different feelings.

Riddhima took a shower and got dressed..

" Hmm Armaan Malik, not bad at all. Is really caring and despite me being mean to him, has his own special charm. But he thinks too much yaar. Is thinking too much always good?"

Armaan on the other hand stared at the picture with his friends in college and his parents and of his grandparents. He then thought about their first meeting and the incident that happened now. " Riddhima, you are crazy, insane but you are not that bad either. Hmm, maybe there is something more than here."

In the apartment, Rahul went inside his room and realized that he was hungry as he didn't go to that date. He decided to whip up the Rahul special coffee. As he entered the kitchen, he saw Muskaan there making something.

" Hey"

" Hey"

" What are you doing here?"

" Just came to make some coffee. You?"

" Same here, should I make you some?"

' Yeah sure"

Muskaan poured in the cup two coffees and gave one to Rahul. He smiled.

" Rahul,…?"

" Yeah"

" Thanks"

" For what?"

" For fulfilling your duty as a roommate and for saving my life"

" No problems"

" Good night"

" Good night"

As Muskaan walked away, Rahul thought to himself. " Miss Curl Ball, is not that bad. She is actually quite sweet just like this coffee."

And while Muskaan walked up the steps. " Babaji, thank you for giving me such a good roommate. He may not be the best but is never the least."

On the other side, Anjali was getting her stuff ready for the next day when she heard a knock.

" Yeah"

" Anjali"

" Oh hey Atul, tell me"

" Thanks"

" Thanks for what?"

" Thanks for saving the life of my friends"

Anjali smiled. " You're welcome"

" Good night and Good luck for tomorrow"

" Same to you" replied Anjali with a smile.
