sumedha....d last part was really gud....even im writin my board exams....but im in 10th....best wishes ur exams.....

Recap:

Riddhima: I want to show them something totally Indian. These people watch salsa and tango everyday. We are from India and we should show them something only Indians can do. I thought lets do the taandav. I bet no one has ever done that before.

I've thought of the whole concept…..i want the song to be hai rama yeh kya hua

She closed her eyes and began to narrate……only the two of us on stage….two lovers…lost in the jungle…..the scorching sun is just setting….I'm scared, scared of being with you alone, scared of my overwhelming emotions and scared of the burning desire I see in your eyes…..and you….you are restless…restless for me, restless for my love and for my body……you won't let me go till I give in to you…..i try to run and I try to hide…..but you chase me with fervour and take me captive…….and drive me senseless with desire…..the twilight engulfs the two of us and…..and we make passionate………………

Armaan: love?

Part 12-f

Armaan who was completely lost imagining the scene she was narrating, completed her sentence by reflex, startling Riddhima back to reality. Wait, what did he say? No, no its only in my head, She told herself. She snapped her eyes open to check if he had actually blurted that out and his mischievous smile confirmed her suspicions.

Armaan: Make wild passionate love…..that's what you wanted to say right?

Riddhima was too stunned to reply and his eyes challenged her to contradict him. Tongue in cheek he was teasing her thoroughly, enjoying her red and baffled expressions. Embarrassed she bit her lip. Her eyes grew wide and then she looked away unable to stand his naughty gaze. She let out an uncomfortable cough and turned to Anji who was too preoccupied to notice the flirty conversation going on.

Riddhima: Anji? What do you think?

Anjali: I'll admit it's a good concept but we cannot do it Riddhima.

Riddhima: But there is time Anji, I promise, it won't be a mess at all----

Anjali: Its too late now. You guys should continue with your old song and later we can use this idea somewhere else, haina Armaan?

Armaan looked at Riddhima, her big wide eyes were sending out this adorable pleading look to him.

Armaan turned Anjali round to face him.

Armaan: Actually Anji I thought why not give it a shot? It sounds like a brilliant idea to me. I'm sure it will appeal to people.

Anjali: But there is no time Armaan----

Armaan: C'mon Anj! Never Fear when Armaan is here. I'll make sure everything is absolutely perfect and on time okay? Lets just take a risk this time, I have this gut feeling its really gonna be worth it.

He held Anji by her shoulders.

Armaan: Please just say yes? For me?

Anjali: She sighed, giving up. Okay then. Lets do it.

Riddhima was so delighted that she spontaneously blew Armaan a flying kiss. Armaan gave her a sly wink and pretended to bend backwards and catch the precious kiss in his hands and lock it in his heart. A giggle almost escaped her lips as Anji turned to her.

Anjali: Ridsi, this better be good okay?

Riddhima: I promise!!

Anjali: Now get going the two of you!! Start rehearsing now itself. God knows how you are going to get him to do the taandav!!!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

When Muskaan awoke she decided to go meet Rahul in his room and see what he is upto.

She got dressed in a mauve coloured tee and capris and headed to his room. Muskaan knocked for a few minutes but Rahul didn't open. She tried the door knob and walked inside.

Muskaan: Rahul? Rahul?

There was no reply. She took out her phone and dialled his number. She heard his ringtone in the room itself and she was going towards it when she heard the bathroom door shut. She turned around and got the shock of her life. Rahul was just coming out of the bathroom…..with nothing on.

Muskaan: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Rahul: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Rahul quickly ran into the bathroom and came back with a towel on. And then both of them started screaming at each other at the top of their voice.

Rahul: MUSKAAN!!!! TUJHE KISSI NE TAMEEZ NAHIN SIKHAYI KYA????

Muskaan: MUJHPAR KYUN CHILLA RAHA HAI----

Rahul: DON'T YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO "KNOCK" WHEN YOU ENTER A ROOM???????????

Muskaan: MAINE KNOCK KIYA THA!!!!!! TU BEHRA HAI TOH MAIN KYA KARUN????? TUJHEY KISSI NE NAHIN SEEKHAYA KE BATHROOM MEIN KAPDE PEHEN KAR AATE HAIN!!!!!!!!

Rahul: MUJHEY KYA PAAGAL KUTTEY NE KAANTA HAI JO MUJHEY PATA HOGA TU YAHAAN ABHI AAYEGI?????

Muskaan: RAHUL, YEH TERI GALATI THI MUJHPE MAT CHILLA WARNA……

Rahul: WARNA KYA???? HAAN? KYA KAR LEGI TU????

Muskaan: MAIN…..MAIN…..(points a finger at him threateningly) MAIN TERI TOWEL KHEECH DUNGI!!!!!!

Rahul: OOHHH!!!! MUJHEY DHAMKI DE RAHI HAI TU??? Rahul smirked at Muskaan and took two steps closer to her. Aaja Muskaan. Himaat hai toh kar ke dikha??

Muskaan: (she was getting a little scared at the way he was inching closer to her now and her voice came out in a petrified sqeak) Rahul??

Rahul: Rahul kya? Towel kheenchna chahti thi na tu? Ab kheench ke dikha?

Muskaan: Rahul-tu-paagal-toh-nahin-ho-gaya-hai??? She stammered.

They were now almost nose to nose with each other.

Muskaan: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

With an ear piercing shriek Muskaan jumped and ran out of his hold. But Rahul was not about to let his girlfriend get away so easily. He chased at her heels while expertly deflecting the shirts, pillows and sheets she was continuously throwing at him.

Rahul: KYA KAR RAHI HAI MUSKAAN!!!!

Muskaan was running helter skelter in the tiny room, barely slipping out of Rahul's grip each time.

Muskaan: RAHUL, YOU-IDIOT-STOP-CHASING-ME!!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!

Rahul: NO WAYS!!!!

Muskaan was now running on top of his bed with Rahul chasing just behind her. They looked nothing short of two tom and jerry replicas. She climbed up….he climbed up….she jumped down….he jumped down….she climbed up again but this time he was too quick for her, he pulled her down and both of them fell down in a heap on the bed, laughing hysterically. Rolling on each other they laughed for a good five minutes before both came back to their senses. They had gotten themselves into quite a cosy position, with Muskaan's head comfortably buried in his shoulder. Rahul heaved a sigh and gently removed the curly mane hiding her beautiful face. For the first time in her life, Muskaan was feeling a little shy. Having Rahul so close to her and that too wearing only a towel was sending shivers down her spine. Rahul's wet fingers travelled up the side of her cheek and Muskaan let out the softest whimper. His lips fastened on hers in a breathless kiss, knocking the wind out of her while his fingers tossed about inside her thin tee. Muskaan was in such a trance that she would not have even stopped him if he went further but Rahul knew that they both were not yet ready for this. Muskaan could feel his wet chest coming in contact with her tee….she opened her eyes dreamily and looked at him….he smiled at her, swiftly bent down and gave her a quick peck on her nose and got up. After a moment Muskaan got up and straightened her tee shirt while Rahul went to the bathroom and put on his clothes. When he came back to the room Muskaan was picking up all the stuff she had thrown at him and putting them back in their original place. After arranging the pillows back on the bed she came and settled on the couch.

Rahul: Breakfast ke liye kya khayegi? Shall I order some pancakes?

Muskaan: Kuch bhi chalega. Rahul parson hum kya karenge?

After ordering breakfast for the two of them Rahul came and joined her on the couch, putting an arm around her shoulders.

Rahul: 10^th ko? Actually Muskaan, I'm not going to be here on the tenth.

Muskaan: What do you mean your not here? Its my birthday!!!!!!

Rahul: I know honey but I have to be in Switzerland to cover an event for my show. I am leaving tomorrow night after the last show of the World tour here. I didn't know you wanted to celebrate? I mean who celebrates birthdays at 24?

Muskaan: What? Are you actually telling me your not going to be here on my birthday? When were you going to tell me this??? After you reached Las Vegas?

She removed his arm from her shoulder.

Rahul: Muskaan? I thought I'd tell you today, yaar. Chal chod, if you want we can celebrate once we are back in India.

Muskaan: No thanks. She makes a face and gets up from the couch. Rahul holds her wrist pulling her back.

Rahul: Kahaan jaa rahi hai tu? Breakfast nahin karegi?

Muskaan was really irritated at him. He was telling her he was not going to be here on her birthday as though it was no big deal.

Muskaan: Mujhey nahin khaana tere saath!

Rahul: C'mon Muskaan, now don't pull that bhookhartaal thing on me, okay?

Muskaan: Maine kab kaha I am not going to eat? I said main tere saath nahin khaungi!

With a huff Muskaan stomped off, shutting his door with a loud bang.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Armaan and Riddhima at the rehearsal hall. The four walls of the rehearsal hall are covered with mirrors so that they can see each other.

Riddhima: Armaan, you got me?

Riddhima was perched on Armaan, her back facing his chest, holding onto him with her legs crossed behind his waist and arms clutching his shoulders.

Armaan: yeah.

Riddhima: Okay, then. Five….six….seven….eight…

SWOOOPP….With one swing he bent her down and brought her back again, tracing a crescent with her upper body.

Riddhima: Looks nice?

Armaan: Hmm. I think you should let go fully. Let go of your hands?

Riddhima: Are you crazy? How will I bring myself up?

Armaan: I'll bring you back up na? Chalo try karo.

Riddhima: Five….six….seven….eight….

SWOOP She let go of her hands and fell down lower than before but he swung her back in a perfect semicircle.

Riddhima: It does look better….but how will I get off??? Umm…Armaan, I'm going to let go of my hands and legs together…..swing me holding me by my arms and then lift me up, catch me to your chest and take a few turns okay?

Riddhima: Once more….and five….six…seven and eight….

SWOOOP…..she swings forward, he pulls her up and as she lets go, gives one circle holding her from her armpits and then he carries her, holding her to his chest and twirling with momentum.

Riddhima: Bas….bas. Good. She slid off his arms. Ek baar aur with the music?

Armaan: Chalo.

They tried again.

Riddhima: Armaan go slower. Swing me up with the beat.

Armaan repeated the lift but swung her up slower.

Riddhima: Thoda aur slow. Try to get the semicircle so that it lasts for the entire beat, Armaan.

Together, they practised it again and again till Riddhima was satisfied that he had got it.

Armaan and Riddhima were practising since morning. Although Armaan had no idea about the taandav, he was trying his best and Riddhima too kept encouraging him. They were taking a long time because Riddhima did not have the song choreographed beforehand. But since Armaan was a fast learner, it was not posing too much of a problem. He efficiently followed all her instructions, earnestly trying to keep up with her. She too was very accommodative towards his suggestions and together they tried various steps and lifts for the song. Slides on the floor, high jumps, twists and twirls in mid air barely hanging on to each other…..this extremely compatible jodi was experimenting with a lot of moves and both partners contributed almost equally to the choreography. Both of them had the same creative wavelength and understood and trusted each other perfectly. While Riddhima took care of the techniquality and dance, Armaan brought in the mood of the song. Often he would inject a slight caress on her face or bury his face into her hair while dancing, making the dance feel all the more sensuous and together. They complemented each other not just physically but creatively as well.

Riddhima(bending down on one knee): Put your hand here, under my knee and lift me up. WHOOSH She was lifted horizontally into the air.

Riddhima: AAAA!!!

Armaan(panicking): Kya hua?

Riddhima: Kuch nahin kuch nahin! Now just start rotating……hold on to my knee tight okay? And try to swing me away from your body.

Armaan: Got it.

Riddhima: five….six….seven….eight…

After rehearsing the part once more, Riddhima went and stood in front of the mirror. Armaan came and stood behind her, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Riddhima: Armaan, aaj hum itna slow kyun jaa rahe hain? Its going to be two thirty and we have not even finished half the song?

Armaan looked at her through the mirror.

Riddhima: Chill Riddhima. We'll finish it by the evening.

Unconsciously he straightens her tee shirt, his fingers caressing the small part of her waist that was exposed. Riddhima loved these little things that he would do when they rehearsed, he was always flirting with his eyes and his fingers. He would tease her with his body language and her response would be a coy blush that sent his pulse racing.

Riddhima: I know that. But its not enough if we just finish the song. How are we going to remember it? We have to practise na?

Armaan: We have time. Kuch na kuch kar lenge. He removes the rubber band from her hair and ruffles it, letting her hair loose. Chalo, lets go and get some lunch.

At lunch

They both went for lunch to the restaurant. At the buffet table, they met Rahul.

Armaan: Two plates? Kahin yahaan koi aur toh nahin? He said patting Rahul's tummy and laughing.

Rahul: Shut up yaar, Armaan. Muskaan ke liye hai. She's driving me crazy!!!

Armaan: Woah, Someone's getting really turned on……

Riddhima: Uff, Armaan!!!! kya hua Rahul?

Rahul: Baat nahin kar rahi hai mujse. Naaraz hai becoz I'm leaving tomorrow.

Riddhima: Armaan, rice?

Armaan: Haan.

She heaped two spoonfuls of rice in his plate.

Armaan: And how does bringing her food solve the problem?

Rahul: I know it doesn't. But right now main usse manane ki koshish kar raha hoon. Please guys you have to come and help me thaw her.

Riddhima shook her head and both of them followed Rahul back to their table.

Throughout lunch they chatted with each other. Muskaan was perfectly normal with Armaan and Riddhima but did not even spare Rahul a glance. Even though Armaan tried hard to bring Rahul into the conversation, Muskaan only gave him silent glares as an answer to all the questions he asked her. A glum Rahul resorted to fiddling about with the food on his plate while Muskaan let out a loud horse laugh at something Armaan said. Riddhima could not take it anymore. She pulled Muskaan's arm.

Riddhima: Muskaan, chalo lets get dessert.

Muskaan: Par I have not finished my food yet. Tu ne bhi toh finish nahi kiya.

Riddhima: Woh…woh…I'm done. Chal na Muskaan!

Riddhima almost dragged an unwilling Muskaan from the table.

Riddhima(angrily): Muski! Bohat ho gaya drama yaar, usse tu baat kyun nahi karti?

Muskaan: Drama main nahin, drama toh woh kar raha hai!!! Dekh wahaan kaise devdas ki tarah baitha hai? Soch raha hai agar khaana nahi khayega toh mai usse maaf kar dungi aur pyaar se khilaungi….usse kya pata ke mai toh usse sirf ek zor ka thappar khilaugi!!!!

Riddhima: agar tu baat nahin karegi woh khayega nahin. Anyways aisa kya ho gaya?

Muskaan: He's leaving tomorrow and he didn't even tell me!!!! How can he not be here on my birthday?????

Riddhima: He's not avoiding your birthday purposely. Shayad koi important kaam hoga?

Muskaan: Mujhe pehle toh bata sakta tha na? Why didn't he say anything all these days? tu jo bhi kahe main usse kabhi baat nahin karungi!!! With a humph she stomped off to the table with her dessert plate.

Back at the table.

Armaan: Dude, your seriously not going to be here on her birthday?

Rahul: Nah.

Armaan: I knew it!

Rahul: Can't help it. You know how senti women are about this stuff and all?

Armaan nodded.

Armaan: Koi surprise hai kya?

Rahul: Tu help karega?

Armaan: Sure, I'm on board. Shall I tell Riddhima?

Rahul: I wanted to lekin she will go and blabber everything to Muskaan. Those two tell each other every little thing and Muskaan is an expert at extracting stuff from Riddhima.

Armaan: Okay, its just the two of us then! Ab jaldi se khana kha le nahi toh tujhe seriously bhooka rehna padega!

Rahul laughed and began gobbling up his food.

Mallik Builders, India.

Tring tring!

The phone rings on Abhi's desk and he picks it up while perusing through a blueprint of a hostel he designed.

Abhi: Hello?

Jenny(secretary): Sir, Nikki maam wants to see you ASAP.

Abhi: Hmm, send her in.

Jenny: Sorry sir? She said she wants to see you. As in she wants you to go meet her downstairs.

Abhi: Okay, coming.

Abhi put the phone down, and carrying the blueprint with him, walked downstairs. They had designed this office such that the first two floors were the house and the next two floors were the Mallik builder's office. Nikki and Abhi had decided to have their offices on the two different floors because it gave them a better control over the happenings in the office and as Nikki pointed out, a necessary break from each other. It also helped to allocate the work since Abhi preferred designing corporate buildings and Nikki preferred homes.

When Abhi walked in he said a hi to everyone on the floor and went to Nikki's cabin. He found her marching up and down in front of her office in a sexy black formal skirt paired with a pink polka dotted shirt, her pink heels clicking rhythmically. She was holding her laptop in one hand and a phone in the other, and seemed to be in the middle of an important call. Abhi decided to wait inside her cabin, and went and settled himself on her chair, occupying himself with the blueprint. After finishing the call, Nikki entered her cabin and came and sat on the armrest of the chair.

Abhi: Hey…..

Nikki: Hi…..Nayye hostel ka blueprint hai?

Abhi: Hmm….i've not finished it yet. He shut the blueprint. Batao kya hua?

Nikki: Actually I want to take off for about 15-20 days before the wedding. That's okay right?

Abhi: Of course it is jaan! Why are you asking? We'll take a week off for the honeymoon too.

Nikki: Mom called. She wants me to spend ten days with her in Pune before the wedding. She's invited dad too. We will come from Pune to the farmhouse here directly, and then after the wedding I'll come back home, ok?

Abhi: Kya? 20 days? Itne din main tumhare bina kya karunga yaar? Tell mom not twenty, ten days are enough.

Nikki: Abhi! Ten days main kya hoga? Itni saari shopping karni hai……sangeet ke liye shopping, mehendi ke liye shopping, bachelorette party, shaadi, reception…..

Abhi: Your having a bachelorette party?

Nikki: Aur nahi toh kya? I told my friends to get the best male strippers in town too!!

Abhi: Male strippers? What for?

Nikki: What for are you having female strippers in your bachelors party?

Abhi: I am not bringing them! Armaan is the one who wants them there! And anyway my case is different!

Nikki: And why is that so? Because you're a guy?

Abhi: No….i mean yes kind of. Plus strippers we hire don't really strip, you know that don't you?

Nikki: Yes. And I trust you. She kissed his cheek. Abhi, you know how rarely mom and dad get together! Cmon, you'll have me all to yourself for an entire week after the wedding.

Abhi: Okay. You can go but you have to call me everyday…..and keep texting. And till you go there's no escape from me, get it?

Nikki: Yes Mr. Fianc!

Abhi: And no male strippers!

Nikki: We'll see about that……

With a wink she pranced off to announce to the rest of the office, that she was going to take an off. Abhi knew that twenty days without her in the house would be hard, but he would have to accept it because he knew Nikki badly wanted to spend time with her parents. Having lost both his parents, Abhi understood where she was coming from. Plus Nikki had not got the parental love she deserved ever since her parents divorced each other. At that time Abhi had tried a lot to fill the void but Nikki still craved to spend time with her parents together and he was glad she was finally getting it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Later that night.

Nikki: Abhi!! Pushing him a little bit. Abhi, utho na?

Abhi: (groggily) Kya hua?

Nikki: Armaan ko call karo, I have to talk to him.

Abhi: Right now? Nikki, it's 1'o'clock yaar!

Nikki: I know but wahaan toh shaam hogi na? Please utho aur call him.

Abhi gets out of bed and gets his cell to call up his older brother in New York. Realising its Abhi's call Armaan stops rehearsing and picks up. Both of them put their phones on videocall mode, so that they can see each other.

Armaan: Hey Abhi! You guys aren't asleep yet?

Abhi: I was…..Yeh Nikki kuch India forums pe khatar patar kar rahi hai yaar….she wanted to talk to you.

He pulls Nikki in next to him so that Armaan can see both of them.

Nikki: Hey Armaan, wassup?

Armaan: Hi….we're just rehearsing for a new song for tomorrow's show…

Nikki: Riddhima's there? Hi Riddhima!!!

Armaan called Riddhima and shifted closer to her so that she could be seen through the camera.

Riddhima: Hi Nikki, how are you?

Riddhima was a little taken aback to see Abhi and Nikki comfortably settled together on a bed. When Nikki had told her she was living with Abhimanyu, she hadn't imagined they would be sharing a bedroom. Nevertheless, Riddhima was not a judgemental person and anyways she really liked the couple since they had attended her salsa class, so she didn't let it show on her face.

Nikki: I'm great yaar. Actually Armaan ko bataana tha ke---

Armaan: Wait! Armaan peered closely into the camera--- What the hell are the two of you doing in MY BEDROOM?????

Nikki: Ooops….giggles.

Abhi: (smiling) Actually we kinda moved in here after you left….

Armaan: WHAT??

Abhi: Yeah….our bedroom was getting slightly boring and anyways we wanted a change of bedroom scene…..so we moved in here.

Armaan: (Infuriated at their guts) Abhi ke bacche, main tujhey dekh lunga!!!!

Abhi: Dekhlo! He stuck his face into the camera, laughing heartily.

Armaan: Arrrghh!!!! Armaan started lamenting at the plight of his poor bed.

Mera bechara pavitra bistar!!!!!! Armaan covered his eyes with his hands. Pata nahi tum log mere masoom bed pe kya kya kar rahe ho……chee chee chee….

All four of them burst out laughing at this.

Nikki: Shut up Armaan!!!!!!!!!

Armaan: No shut up wut up! Mujhey pata hai tum dono ka yeh change the bedroom wala funda!!! You both better get out of there before I come back. And don't forget to change the sheets!!!!!!

Nikki: okay okay!!!!!! Now Listen to me…I went on India forums just now and wahaan tumhare fans ne halla macha rakha hai. They are outraged at the articles that were published and are demanding an apology from the media….What do you want to tell them?

Armaan: Tell them I am very touched that they are doing this and love them a lot. I am not bothered about what the media writes about me as long as my fans continue to love and appreciate my work…..so these articles don't really affect me. Bas yeh likh de aur tell them to relax. But make sure you don't let out anything about the mishap with Riddhima's costume okay?

Nikki: Alright, I'll post it.

Riddhima: Can I also add something?

Nikki: Haan bolo na Riddhima?

Riddhima: Umm, why don't you also add that Armaan is now busy rehearsing for a new surprise song we have decided to include to make up for the unfinished one last time. We've choreographed a whole new song with a new look for them….so they should watch out for that.

Riddhima questioned Armaan if this was okay and he smiled and nodded in approval.

Nikki: Great, I'll add that too. You know Riddhima the other night we went out clubbing and I wanted to show off some of those salsa moves you taught us par yeh Abhi is so uncooperative, he just refused to dance, and sat and chatted with his friends the whole time!!!!!

Abhi: (groans) Not again Nikki….

Riddhima: (giggling) Maybe he didn't feel like dancing that night?

Abhi: Exactly!!!!!!!! Finally someone understands me!!! You rock Riddhima, he gave her an imaginary hi five.

Riddhima: Hahaha….Acha Nikki you wanted those Bedouin type of earrings for your sangeet outfit na?

Nikki: Yeah?

Riddhima: I saw a pair at the Dubai airport which were looking really nice….it had silver filigree work on it, so I picked it up for you---

Nikki: Really? Oh Riddhima I love you!!!!!! Thank you sooooo much yaar!!!

Riddhima: No problem….

Nikki: So tell me, has Armaan confessed yet or what?

Armaan suddenly jerked up at this. What the hell was nikki doing????

Riddhima: Confess—what?

Riddhima was confused while Nikita saw an angry looking Armaan shooting daggers at her through his eyes. Oh so he had not told her yet!

Nikita: Confessed that…that he is obsessed about his bed? Nikki was blabbering completely trying to cover up so Armaan interrupted her.

Armaan: Arrey dekho Anji aa gayi. She's calling you---

Riddhima: Oh okay---Bye you guys!

Riddhima got up and went to speak to Anji.

Armaan: NIKKI!!!!!!

Nikki: Don't nikki me!!!!! Why haven't you told her yet?????

Armaan: I dunno. She's too tensed about tomorrow's show. I'll tell her later. And besides I want it to be perfect….maybe a candle light dinner or a boat ride or….

Nikki: Armaan!!!!! There's no perfect time to tell her you love her!!!! Just tell her!!!

Abhi: I know yaar Armaan, usko jaldi bataa de.

Armaan: Okay okay!! Stop getting hyper. And get out of my bedroom ASAP!!!

Abhi: Theek hai theek hai, itna drama mat kar! Chalo, I'll call you again, and by the time if you haven't told her, we'll tell her for you! Bye!

Armaan: Bye!!

They ended the call and Nikki shut her laptop and put it aside. After switching off all the lights and checking if the main door is locked she came back to bed.

Abhi: Niks?

Nikki: haan?

Abhi: You know what armaan was saying about this bed being totally pavitra?? Don't you think its time we did something totally sinful on it?

Nikki giggled heartily and pulled him down under the covers with her.

New York

Armaan and Riddhima had sweated it out for the rest of the day and managed to finish choreographing the entire song. They were yet to rehearse the whole song at one go when Anjali arrived.

Anjali: Hey you guys! How's it going?

Riddhima: We just finished it right now, Anji. Armaan's answering a call.

Anjali: Okay, I've scheduled the dress rehearsal in half an hour so get dressed and come to the main stage. I don't want a repeat of what happened to you in the last show so I've decided that everyone is going to do this last rehearsal in their costume, with the shoes, jewellery, props, strings, headgear and anything else that could cause a disaster. You can decide on the lights and the camera markings will be done too.

Riddhima: But Anji, we just finished the choreography! Armaan has not yet learnt the steps by heart! Can you give us till tomorrow?

Anji: No Riddhima. You said you would have the whole song ready by tonight. Now whatever state it is in I want to see it. If it is a mess or I don't like it, we'll scrap this performance and you both will perform the original song. Now be there as fast as you can.
