Part 10
Riddhima
Armaan was crazy........he know how to make me agree to with him to the party....but to tell you the truth, i love that...
I love the way he take care of me and always remain conscious about my care, my health, my happiness......he was a true LOVER...
But unfortunately, i was not able to love him back.............i don't know why but may be because i still do love Abhi.....He was the man to whom i truly love.....or i just think that i ever loved him???.........
He was the first man in my life who took care of me, love me.......Make me feel like a woman......how can i just forget him...
I think i still do believe that may be there is some door open for me to get back in his life.....To get back to the world we created together
Putting the dress on the bed, i keep looking at it in amazement..
"Abhi never bought me one?" i asked myself, but then he was never sure with his choice for me..........it was always..."You come with me for shopping.....i really can't choose which one will look best on you" but armaan buy one and he thinks this will suit me....
Later in the night,after tucking Pihu into her bed, i called di
"Hi Ridzi....how are you?"
"Good di" i don't know how, but she caught me
"You get back with armaan on talking notes" and then when i realize, she is surly my elder sister......she knew me better than any of my friend
"Yes......he just invited me again to join him in party tomorrow and also buy me a dress" Di must have smiled on other side, i was seemed excited then she said
"Look Ridzi, he love you and do take care of your needs.......He don't have any problem to get married with you and he accept Pihu too.....Don't loose him.....You can never find anyone like him ever" and i accept that.....i do know he was one of his kind
"I understand di, and i accept that he love me alot......but how can i just forget Abhi...." But before i can say anything, di cut me in between
"Abhi is moving on Riddhima.........He has moved on......Atul was telling me last night that he saw abhi with a girl in a restaurant where his meeting was held..."
It was a news for me.......i keep silent for a moment when did again continued
"Atul said they were not looking like friends or colleagues.....holding hands, sitting close are not the symptoms of being friends" and then i think, it was over.....my wait was over
"Abhimanyu is a closed chapter Riddhima, forget him..........the only relation left with you of him is that his blood is running in Pihu's blood otherwise there is nothing to look at......Armaan is your today and can be your future if you just give him a chance" bitting my lower lip, i keep hearing di
"Ok di, i will call you back" and before i can hear a reply, i cut the line
How can abhi forget me so easily???
It was hard to believe..........the last hope i had was also ended and so does my wait
Whole that night, i keep remembering my moments with abhi and get them out of my mind............Abhi was out of my life and now, is out of my mind too
Chapter Abhimanyu Modi, Closed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After getting ready, i give myself a last look..........navy blue color was always my favorite.....i put a light make up with a skinned pink lipstick enhancing my lips......my hairs were held up by a bun while i give slight curls to them and put them in front, on one of my shoulder........the single diamond neck less was enough to cover my neck and small two diamond earnings were ,making me look elegant............All in All, i was looking much decent
Pihu was already with di and i was just locking the doors when the bell ring........
Armaan was looking good in his black attire with a navy blue color tie with it
Was that on purpose??........i presume and a smile pop up on my lips
"I was right.....you has made this dress look more beautiful......."
That was certainly opposite to my thoughts..............he was surly different....Smiling, thanking him slowly for the compliment, he, like a gentleman......escort me to his car and after i was seated......he closed the door and had his position infront of the steering.........
Feeling awkward............but i can still felt his eyes looking at me from the corners of his eyes.................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We entered the venue, hands in hands..............i can feel the envying eyes of the girls but what can i do if he himself asked me to hold his hand....
And you why.....because he was feeling a bit nervous........it was funny listening that when he give me this reason but may be he was nervous because of excitement to get promoted
You surly do feel a bit nervous for anything that sounds so exciting.........but what made me smile was that he doesn't look that weak...
As we entered, his colleagues approached him and he introduced me to them as a 'Friend' that what i told him........I did feel a bit......what can i say that emotion....ache, pain, angry with myself.....whatever.....but i felt that strongly
"I will just be back in a minute" he said as he moved forward and greeted a blad white beared man whi also greeted him back with a smile and later introduced him to some of the other man
Smile just come across my lips seeing his joyful face.....
"Don't let him go, Riddhima" Di voice was still wandering in my mind when i felt someone calling me and as i turned, i got stunned seeing Abhi in front of me......Abhimanyu Modi
"Hi Riddhima" he said holding his breath while my face got emotionless
"Hi" i looked around not seeing his face
"You here?.....with someone?" feeling the lump in his voice, i somehow got relieved
"Yes....and you" and he got silent for a moment
"Yes, Nikita is a model and she invited me to accompany her here"
Remain silent, well thats other call it a sword........and i really feel it to be like that at that moment
"Riddhima, i need to tell you something"
"But i don't want to hear anything Mr.Abhimanyu Modi".........he never heard me calling him anything else than abhi.....and i can see the shocked look on his face
"But i need to tell you Riddhima.........I am getting married to Nikita....i am moving on and i just want you to move on too" He hold me from my shoulders but i just shrugged it down
"It doesn't mean anything to me now, its your life........you can do whatever you like..............you can like her to be a baby producing factory but only with the restriction that she only produce a son......as having a daughter is like having needles under your feet, right...." saying all that in a low voice, i see the hurt look on his face......but that was what he deserve to have......don't he
"You can keep her or leave her with your wish............or with your mothers wish......a mothers puppet thats what you are Modi and last thing............i never want you to be near Pihu anymore........i am getting married to someone too and he do love Pihu instead knowing that she is your blood..........i don't want you anymore in my life.....not for a second....Good bye Mr.Modi" saying all that in a harsh tone, i left to get some water............
I never really talked to him about his decision after we divorced.............but now, i don't want to keep anything in my heart when i am planning to get entangle with someone
"Can i help you maam?" Bar tender asked me, softly
"yes, can i have some water" and he give me a glass to which i gulped down in a go.........
About 10 minutes later, i found armaan approaching me with his dimpled smile..................and like always, i smiled too
"Can i have a dance with the you, Maam?" He sound so romantic.......and i just put my hand after nodding my head and he lead me to the dancing area
Holding me from my waist, so close........i feel the tingling sensation throughout my body...........he always did effect me but today, it was so obvious to me and to him too...
The song in the background was even more romantic and sensational........
You're in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close togehter
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close
So close to reaching
That famous happy and
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far
We are
So close...
Oh, how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close to reaching
That famous hapyp end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
Though we know we are
So close
So close, and still
So far...
I can feel the love and passion in his eyes as his eyes were burning my body, literally................his eyes seems too hot just like his touch......I wondered, as i never felt such kind of sensation ever...
The couples got changed and now a man in his forties was my partner but his eyes were stuck on me, just like mine were stuck on him..........
And after changing a no of partners, i was back in his arms......his arms feel so protective around me and that made me assured that he is not going to leave me ever..
We all clapped as the song ended and the main ceremony started
The name of the people who got promoted was announced..........the chief editor....assistant........and when his name was announced as a senior photographer, i clapped hard...........his success was feeling to me that it is my success...
He walked up with a great confidence and got his bonus which was also given to the promoted people..........after having that, he got back and i hug him for congratulating him
"Congrats" and he hug me back with a smile
"Thank you" and then, throughout the party, he doesn't leave my side.......
Getting out, we were walking into the parking area..........it was silent as party hasn't ended yet and people were still enjoying the fun but we just escaped out
"I hope you had a good time?" He said, rubbing his temple as we walk side by side to his car
"Yes, it was great.......thank you"
"For what?" he asked, confused
"For inviting me otherwise i must have loose the opportunity to attend such a great party"
He stopped in the mid-way and i turned to look at him
"I was thinking to thank you for joining me otherwise, i must have gone bored with this" I smiled in respond and he come close to me......i stepped back while he continued to come closer to me when i strike the car.........he was looking so passionate and above that.............i can felt his breath kissing my neck when he get aside and open the door for me
"Believe me, i will not do anything against your wish" and his words hit to hard to me that as he turned to get on his side, i hold his hand
"Armaan, i need to say something" He looked at me confused
"What?" he face was puzzled
"I......I..." i lost my words when he again get close to me and hold my hands, lightly
"I what Riddhima?"
I look up into his eyes and it just happened
"I love you, Armaan" and that was the moment to see happiness and stunned expressions mixed on his face while his eyes got welled up
"You what?" he cupped my face after a moment
"I love you, Armaan" my eyes to got tears to see him so happy.......
"I love you Riddhima, I love you so much" and he hugged me tightly...........his hands on my back sent shivers down my spine........but it was peaceful hug....
As we separated, he looked at my face and he just hold me close to himself........while our foreheads were stuck to each other........We both lived the moment
I always wondered how can words, just three simple words can make a person so happy.........but today i got the answer....
"Can we go home now?" as i said, he giggled and after backing kissed my cheek
"As you say, Maam" He sounded so full of life..................i wish i had taken this decision a bit back........then he must never had to go through all that......But end well, all well.........
We now belong to each other* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
