Part 2
Riddhima looked up as Armaan walked in. She felt her breath hitch for a second as she saw him walking towards her wearing a white casual shirt and jeans. He was still just as gorgeous. He was smiling at her, and she noticed those dimples set in. She always had a thing for those dimples..
Ar: Hi Riddhima'.outstretching his hand towards her for her to shake.
She looked back and forth from his hand to his face'.she had a slightly baffled expression on her face..he still remembers me??
She hesitantly put her small delicate hand into his strong firm one...it sent shivers down her spine...his touch always had that effect on me....
A: It's been so many years Riddhima...how are you?? he noticed the lost look on her face...and this was just a small attempt from his side to bring her back...maybe she didn't remember him..?
R: It has been a long time Armaan...I'm good...how've you been all these years...?
A:I've been doing great....
She noticed that he wasn't looking her in the eye when he said this..and as she tried to peer into his strikingly beautiful grey blue eyes...she thought she saw a flicker of pain in them....he was lying to her and she knew it. But she couldn't ask him what was wrong with her...they weren't that great of friends anyways...well not anymore...oh hell who was she kidding...maybe they never were "great" friends...? It was all a drama...
An: Okay I hate to break the reunion here..but we've got some business we need to discuss...and finalize some details here...
Ri: Right...c'mon lets sit...
An: Okay Riddhima..what exactly do you want Armaan doing...just sing a song or two...?
Ri: Well I was hoping...that he'd sing one song by himself...but the other...I wanted him to dance on...
Ar: That sounds good to me....
Ri: Okay great...it's final then...I'll call you for practice...just give me your number....
He wrote his number down on a small slit of paper...and handed it to her...
Ar: It was great seeing you Riddhima...we should really do some catching up over a cup of coffee sometime...
Ri: That sounds great....
As he exited out of the coffee shop so many memories came flooding back. He remembered the first day he'd seen her..she was wearing a red tank with a white flowey skirt that reached upto her knees...her hair was let out loose..and was wearing minimal makeup..and she'd had a pile of books in her hand...he was left stunned by her beauty...he'd always heard "Simplicity is beauty" ..well he'd witnessed it as well today...
She looked like she was about to fall any minute...her feet were starting to stumble..and her legs were starting to become wobbly....and on an instinct he went up towards her in an attempt to save her from falling.....but before he could..she'd already lost her balance and fell...straight on him...
The scent from her long silky hair had made him loose his senses...he closed his eyes as he engulfed the sweet scent coming from her hair...he opened his eyes to the most beautiful sight....her eyes were closed tight in fear....and her hands were grasping his tshirt tightly...sending a tingly feeling in his stomach.....
He heard somebody yell from behind...."Nikita are you alright??"
He opened his eyes and came back to reality as he felt his eyes becoming moist again..he quickly blinked away his tears..and sent a killer smile towards Anji...
A: I think I should get you home before Atul kills me for keeping his jaan away too long...
Anjali blushed at Armaans comment...
A: Atul told me you guys had a lunch date together...
An: Yeah how about I just walk to the dining area myself...actually it's nearby and the walk would do me some good...
A: You sure?
An: Yeah...thanks armaan...
A: No problem....
As Anjali started walking away in the opposite direction..he went and sat inside his car....
Seeing Riddhima had triggered so many old memories...he was surprised at himself...he should have been mad at her...for leaving him when he needed her most....she was his best friend..he'd told her everything...she'd been there from the start...and then when the end came..she'd disappeared on him without any clue of where she went..why she left...and God it had hurt sooo much.
"Nikita you alright?" The angelic beauty quickly got off of him..and straightened out her skirt..while he held out her books for her...
He looked up to see the person who'd ruined there moment...and saw a girl wearing a white chudidaar with long jet black hair staring at her friend in concern...
"Yeah I'm fine Riddhima...I'd just lost my balance.."
Her voice was even sweeter than he expected...
"Actually I'm sorry......"
"Armaan...Armaan Malik"
"I'm sorry Armaan...actualyl I just lost my balance with all these books..it was an accident..."
"It's fine...you don't need to apologize..I didn't mind..." He bit his tongue at the last part of his comment as he saw her staring at him with arched eyebrows...
"I meann...I didn't mind..because i knew it was just an accident..." giving her a nervous smile..as she burst out laughing leaving him in awe of her again...
"Relax Armaan...I was just teasing you..I know you didn't mean anything by it...anyways I'll catch you later....bye.."
"Bye..."
He watched her walk off as he stood there...rerunning the recent events in his mind again...
He felt his lips slightly curve remembering their first meeting...he had been in complete awe of her after there first meeting....parking his car he headed back into the studios as they called him into record a song...
He started singing...
Hmm ohh, I will come
Maybe it's intuition
Somethings you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes, I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only a sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for, I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo ohh
A thousand angels dance around you
(Ooh hoo, hoo ooo hoo ooo hoo hoo hoo)
I am complete now that I have found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo hoo)
I knew I loved you before I met you
(Oh oh, ohh ohh, oh oh oh ay ay yea oh)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
I knew I loved you before I
Riddhima stood at the window sill...staring out at the moon as the memories came flooding back to her...she'd fallen in love with him at first sight....she just hadn't realized it....she closed her eyes...as she recalled their first meeting...
