Part 9
RidhimaArmaanRajeev
Scowling Ridhima sat down on the chair and folded her arms over her chest.
Armaan had managed to escape not one...not two...but three times!
Sighing dejectedly, She crossed her legs and slumped further into the chair.
"Kya hua Ridzi?"
She snapped her head up and saw Anjali sitting in the chair opposite hers.
Pouting, she said, "nothing di"
"C'mon Ridzi...pata na...kya baat hai?....tu kal raat se pareshaan hai...kya baat hai?" Anjali asked.
Giving up, she uncrossed her legs, and leaned closer to the table.
"You know Armaan di?...I have been trying to talk to him since morning...par woh mujhe ignore karte rehta hai!...what am I supposed to do di?" Ridhima asked.
Ridhima's mouth dropped open when Anjali started laughing.
"accha di...apko ab hassi aa rahi hai meri problem pe?" Ridhima asked, leaning back into the chair and crossing her arms and legs once more.
"arrey nahi nahi Ridzi....oh god yeh problem thi?...oh my gosh Ridzi, tune toh mujhe dara diya tha....mein kal raat se soch rahi thi ki pata nahi kitni bari prorblem hai.....arrey tum aur Armaan toh jhagarte rehte ho.....don't worry everything will be alright yaar....just give him some time...tu bhi na Ridzi, sab ko darra deti hai..." Anjali said, shaking her head at Ridhima for her foolishness.
Ridhima blushed, and looked down...
"sorry di...so you think I should ignore him?" Ridhima asked, looking up at Anjali once again.
"umm...well if the fault is yours...then you should aplogise...if not...then ignore him and wait for him to apologise." Anjali said
"but, I tried apologising...par wo meri baat sunta nahi hai!" Ridhima exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air, and crossing her arms again.
Anjali giggled and said,
"well so the fault is yours....then keep trying to aplogise I'll say...par agar woh phir bhi nahin sunnta...then give him some time to cool down...slowly gain his trust back again....but this behaviour is so unlike Armaan...what did you guys fight about?" Anjali asked, suspiciously.
"umm woh...di...." Ridhima stammered...looking up she saw Armaan passing by..."Di...woh Armaan hai wahaan par....I'll go and apologise again...ok bye di!" Ridhima finished hurridly...and ran out of the canteen, before Anjali could ask her anything else.
Letting out a sigh of relief, she went in the direction Armaan had gone...this time she would do something different...she had tried talking to him after he had finished with his patients...she had tried cornering him in the fire-escape...she had tried aplogising in the canteen...all those times he had ran away with some excuse or the other.
This time she would make sure he didn't escape...
Armaan sighed as he leaned against the wall'.he had tried almost every excuse to get away from Ridhima'.Sighing, he banged his head once more against the wall....but his eyes snapped open when he heard the clicking of heels again...this time they were much closer...and he had a sinking feeling that he was not going to get away this time.
Ridhima had lost Armaan again...she had gone in the direction he had...but couldn't find him anywhere.
Frowning she pressed her fingers to her temples....the headache was worse now...Closing her eyes, she tried to make it go away...but it wouldn't....Ridhima pressed harder...but didn't find any relief.
Groaning, she opened her eyes, but everything seemed darker now...Blinking a few times, she found her focus again, and looked around to find Armaan.
Walking around...she found him leaning against a wall in the hall.
Smiling triumphantly she almost ran towards his direction, but stopped again when things started getting darker.
Squinting her eyes, she tried focussing on Armaan...She could make out everything...but it all seemed darker...it was almost like she had put on dark sunglasses....or the lights had gone out in this building.
Closing her eyes...she counted to three and opened them again...she could see everything clearly now...Armaan, who had realized she was coming to talk to him, was trying to make his escape again
"Armaan!" Ridhima called out.
Armaan stopped dead in his tracks and turned around, looking at her sheepishly.
"Armaan I need to-" She stopped again, when things started turning dark...the pain in her head was worse...taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, and tried to make the pain go away.
"Ridhima?" She heard Armaan's concerned voice.
She tried opening her mouth to say something...anything...but no sound would come out...her body was only focussing on the paiin in her head...she felt like everything was slipping away...she felt like she was falling...she wanted to scream for help...but finally her body couldn't fight the pain, and darkness took over her...
But the last thing she heard was Armaan shouting her name, and the feel of his hands around her body.
Hope you liked it!...please comment!😃
