hey girl, thanx so much for the pm...and i adored the part, especially the groing bond between armaan and ridz, the monopoly game was really funny and reminded me of the times when we played together in my family, even there it invariably deteriorated into heated accusations of cheatng and dice manipulation....lol lmaoo exactly the same wiv me n my family

i'm angry at angie, but not really surprised since i had a feeling it woul turn out this way. besides i cant help feeling a small bit sympathetic towards her....it's always hard to have to watch the person you love fallng for someone else, not that that excuses her actions of course... that is very true but maybe there is another reason behind her behaviour???

fantastic update, keep it up....i can't wait to find out what angie's big plan is and i'm eager to see ridz-padma face off not to mention i want armaan to accompany her to india but is that posible?
thnxx so much, it was my original plan to send ridz to India alone but now im wonderin...lol

Part 3

After everything had been cleared the three decided to sit back and relax with some TV. Despite just having been scolded by Armaan, Anjali thought it the best time to continue her questions and make Ridhima tell about her past. Anjali had got it into her head that if Ridhima had some skeletons in her wardrobe, she would herself hunt them down and bring up all the pain again for Ridhima. To the average person the plan seemed ridiculous but Anjali had a special way of thinking. She began her so called genius plan as soon as the commercial breaks started.

"You know Ridhima, I really am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable back then. I was just trying to get to know you more and I guess it came out all wrong." Anjali decided to play it nice because she did not want to expose her true intentions to Armaan with the fear that he would begin to hate her.

"No Anjali you have no reason to apologise, I guess I was a little over sensitive." Ridhima felt warmed by Anjali's sweet apology and decided she may as well tell them about her troubled past, seeing as they had helped her out so much. "The truth is that the only true family I had was papa. I had a little sister called Muskaan but her mum is Padma and mine is Gauri. Nonetheless I loved her to bits but when she was three and I five she passed away." Ridhima paused feeling the tears threatening to break out but on feeling Armaan's firm hand on hers she continued. "Since the day she died nothing has ever been the same again. Padma had a complete transformation of personality going from being my second mother to the women who despised me. I didn't have to lift a finger out of line and she would start shouting at me. Papa tried to change her back but nothing worked. I felt like a jinx. Everything I touched died, and the jinx still hasn't left me because papa also lost his life…. Since I have been five he has done nothing but protect me. And now he is gone and I don't know what to do." Ridhima burst out crying as all the pent up feelings finally released. Quickly Armaan hugged her tight trying to communicate by the embrace that she had him and from now on always would. He would never leave her.

"Ridhima it's nothing like that. Luck just has not been on your side." He tried consoling her but was doubtful that he said the right things.

In direct contrast Anjali felt ecstatic. Finally she had something on Ridhima!! First thing tomorrow she would contact this Padma lady and the plan would work from there.

Still in a tight embrace with Ridhima Armaan felt grieved. Just until a minute ago he had, had no idea of how much Ridhima suffered in life, the one person who stuck by her had also left her. Armaan vowed that from this day onwards he would be there for Ridhima. He didn't bother to question himself why, he just promised to do it and deep down he knew he would never fail in accomplishing that promise.

Lying in bed that night Armaan had a storm of feelings, banging against each other in his head. He was back to the nagging question that was, Ridhima. He knew he had feelings for her but how far those feelings went was the mystery. If only Bi was there to help him. He didn't know why he had overreacted towards Anjali when she had been questioning Ridhima about her family. He sensed that Ridhima was uncomfortable and his immediate reaction to that was to be irritated at Anjali. He wanted to apologise but his own weird reaction stopped him from doing so, as he didn't know how to phrase it. He sighed as he found himself comparing his two housemates. He loved both of them in very different ways. He considered Anjali his sister was very protective towards her and would always take care of her. As far as Armaan was concerned Anjali was simple…he knew she loved him but also knew that he could never reciprocate her love. Of course Armaan loved her but as a sister and he was dreading the day when he would have to try and explain all this to her. He knew where he stood with Anjali which was more than could be said for Ridhima. Armaan moved his hand through his hair in frustration as he tried to decipher his feelings towards her. Comparing her with Anjali it was instantly clear that he loved them in two very different ways. If Anjali was his sister what did that make Ridhima? His lover? No way, Armaan what are you thinking?! He let out another big sigh as the tumult of his mind just grew with every passing second. Finally giving up he sat up in bed and started reading some patient case files because he knew he would not be able to sleep.

In the opposite room Anjali was having a mental breakdown. Pacing her room she had bit her nails down to the bed! Her heart was racing as images of Armaan and Ridhima's wedding flashed through her mind. She could clearly picture Ridhima looking stunning in a traditional lehnga standing next to a dashing Armaan with a sherwaani looking like a Greek god. Her brow creased and her footsteps got quicker reflecting her growing mixture of feelings with anger, hatred and jealousy all appointed to Ridhima but a feeling of hurt and longing for Armaan. He was the Armaan of her heart…the desire of her heart and no matter what, she would get him!! Turning to her side Anjali was stunned to see Karan standing in front of the door with his arms folded across his chest.

"Karan? What are you doing here?" Anjali asked in a quivering voice.

"I am here to save you from that evil, backstabbing Ridhima. Did you see them today? All happy in each other's company, running around playing monopoly, ignoring you like you're a part of the furniture." Karan's voice hissed and his arms flung in the air.

"Look they didn't mean to, ok. They were just having a laugh and there is nothing wrong in that."

"Yeah, laughs at your expense. How long are you going to take it lying down, huh? Why aren't you taking this seriously?! Ridhima could ruin everything you have! Do you want that, huh? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!

"NO! But I don't know what to do Karan; I don't know what to do. Please just leave me alone!!"Anjali sank to the floor as the tears escaped her eyes.

"You know I can't do that." Karan smirked then continued with what he was saying. "Look all you have to do is get rid of that Ridhima. How hard can it be?"

"Please just leave me alone." Anjali's voice was barely a whisper as she was still on the floor, face in palm, shoulders shaking vigorously as she cried.

"Just do it and you can live happily, with no more tears."

Not knowing what else to do she ran into Ridhima's room and fiercely switched on the light. Confused as to what to do next she just stood there with a grim expression staring at a bewildered Ridhima.

"Anjali what's the matter? Is something wrong? Have you been crying?" Ridhima sat up in bed all senses on high alert.

"Just shut up! Shut Up! I need to think." Ridhima stayed in bed at a loss for words and not knowing what to do next. Before Anjali had time to think about what she was doing, Karan returned.

"What are you a chicken? JUST DO IT!"

"I can't. Armaan will hate me and… I will hate myself." Ridhima was dumbstruck. What was Anjali doing? Why was she talking to herself and why on earth would Armaan hate her?

"Anjali, what is going on? Who are you…?"

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?!"

"Look its now or never, do you honestly want to lose Armaan to…that?!"

Before Ridhima knew what was going on, Anjali had pranced onto her like a lion on prey. Feeling Anjali's cold hands around her neck, she felt dread creep its way up her body as her mind realised what Anjali was doing. She was strangling her. She wanted to kill her. Trying with all her might Ridhima tried to loosen Anjali's grip while she just screamed in her ear.

"It's all you fault!! You asked for this!!" Anjali looked like a mad psycho, but try as she might Ridhima couldn't loosen her grip.

Armaan was still in his room reading case files. As he turned over the page he heard screaming, and it was coming from Ridhima's room. He swiftly got up from his bed and made his way to where the commotion was coming from. He gasped as he saw what was going on.

"Anjali, Anjali get of her. What are you doing, stop it!" Armaan grabbed Anjali from the waist and moved her away from Ridhima. Finally being able to breathe Ridhima inhaled deeply fulfilling the wish of her lungs which were craving air. Once she regained herself Ridhima looked to the corner and saw Armaan consoling Anjali.

Anjali was clinging onto Armaan as he was soothingly moving his hand up and down her back.

"Anjali, is Karan here?"

Unable to speak Anjali nodded her head in a positive way showing that Karan was indeed present. She was crying uncontrollably now and just wanted a huge hole to form in the ground and bury her. Forever. Ridhima on the other hand was still sitting on the bed, confused as ever. Why was Armaan being so nice to Anjali, just after she had tried to kill her? Who was Karan? Ridhima felt a headache coming along as there were a million unanswered questions swimming along in the grey matter in her head.

ok I know I'm early again, but the reason I couldn't update was because my lil cousins broke my laptop, which luckily my brother managed to fix. So from now on, I will hopefully be able to update regularly.

Please comment as I'm very nervous about this part. If anyone is confused don't be afraid to ask :)
