"Just shut up Armaan!!"

Armaan was rendered speechless this time, he had no idea how to proceed with the conversation, for he wasnt being given a chance to explain anything. For the past 5 minutes, he was trying to soothe her down but se was in no mood to listen. He sighed slightly, cursing himself for not having told her the truth, and looked around the room he was residing in currently. He had gotten back to the hotel from his parent's home just a while ago, and after going over the whole evening in his mind, he had instantly called her up. And since then, she had not giving him one chance to speak.

"I cant believe tum itni stupid baat per mujhse jhoot bol sakte ho....shadi per hi jaa rahay thay na, kisi ka qataal to nee ker dia tha, jo mujhe batanay se darr rahay thay...."

Armaan was jostled out of his thoughts as her words registered in his mind. Shadi? What was she talking about? He was extremely tired, exhausted both physically and emotionally, and the last thing he wanted right now was a fight with her, or even a silly arguement. Maybe calling her had not been the right idea, he should have eaten something and just gone to sleep.

"Shadi?" he questioned, rubbing his eyes slowly with his thumb.

"Haan shadi...ab ziada acting matt kero...mujhe Nikki ne sab bata dia hai!!" Riddhima carried on with her ranting.

Armaan figured out that Nikki must have told her some lie to cover it up, though why the need had risen when he had successfully pulled off a story with Riddhima regarding some legalities that needed to be taken care of in Kasauli was beyond him. He understood something must have gone wrong, and therefore decided to play along with the story. "Ab tumhain pata chal gaya hai to itna fuss kyun create ker rahi ho?" Armaan spoke out, cursing himself the next second for his rude reply.

Riddhima halted for a whole minute, her mind devoid of any retort as she tried to figure out what was wrong with him. He wasnt being his ownself, and instead of being in a festive happy mood, he was being irritated and snapping at her. The silence on both sides was prominently felt.

"I am sorry Riddhima...i dunno mujhe kia...i am sorry..." Armaan was the first one to speak, as he sat down on the bed, the room plunging into darkness.

"Armaan...what's wrong?" Riddhima sensed his silence and his unsaid feelings of loneliness, and she was instantly worried.

"Kuch nee Riddhima...i am fine...its nothing...!! So you tell me...kia kiya aj?" Armaan changed the topic to his convenience, trying to dogde from her questions.

As Riddhima herself bantered on with the day activities' narration after a moment's relapse, her mind was set into deep thinking. She knew he was extremely upset about something, there was something that was disturbing him and affecting his mood therefore, but she didn't want to dig in to ask more. That was the way with Armaan, the more you would ask, the more he would clam up. She gave him his time and space until he himself came up and talked to her about the problem. He always did. And she knew that her nonsensical rambling cheered him up when he was upset, the main reason why he would call her.

Armaan listened to her go on about how Muskaan and Rahul were planning to get married and thought to himself how lucky he was to have a girl like her. She knew he wasn't in the mood to tell her anything at the moment, and instead of pressing on and nagging him for details like in the early days, she would conveniently leave the topic to be discussed whenever he wanted. He loved her for giving him his space; having lived alone for such a long time had made him used to having his way with things, and she had adjusted with it tremendously. She would back off when he was having a mood swing instead of pestering him with questions, she would give him his time to come and confide in her, and most importantly, she would never take anyone else's word over his. The unbreakable trust she placed in him was what he was grateful for, yet it was exactly what was annoying him at the moment, for he knew that if she came to know about how he had come to Delhi to talk to his parents for her, she would never forgive him.

He couldnt believe how he had done it; he hadnt been sure whether he would be able to convince him. The cold and uninviting behavior was what he had been already expecting; but the moment Vinay had forfeited him with any rights of being his son, the first person who had come to his mind had been Riddhima. He hadnt been hurt by the ruthless comments made by his father, but he had suddenly had a strong fear of losing Riddhima. The moment his father's back turned to him, every part of him had told him how he had lost her. And he didnt know how or when, but he had found himself kneeling on the ground, pleading, crying in front of his parents. It wasnt his ego that had shattered, it was every cell in his body that had forced him to bow down for the one person he loved more than anything else. He had given up his pride and his ego in front of the one man he held responsible for the ruining of his life, for the girl who was the reason of his existence. He had no regrets about it, for he didnt know whether it was the triumph of finally having let him down or the slight tinge of love he might still feel for him, Vinay had agreed to meet Riddhima's parents. There had been no farewells, no hugs or confessions or apologies. The moment Vinay had said they would come down to Mumbai that weekend to meet her parents, Armaan had thanked them gratefully and taken their leave. His mission was completed.

Now, as he talked to her, his eyes clouded with tears slightly as he remembered the one moment he had thought he had lost her forever. That fear had shaken his whole body, made him shiver to his very soul. And that was when he realized how very important she was in his life. He could give up anything for her, and yet wouldnt expect anything back, taht was the extent of his love for her. And a lump formed in his throat as he thanked God again and again for giving him the strength for fighting for her. No matter what happened now, he wouldnt ever let Riddhima go.

"Armaan...??" Riddhima spoke, after what seemed like a long moment of silence, and Armaan came back to the world.

"uhh...Haan...?"

"Kia soch rahay ho...?"

Armaan smiled in spite of himself, this girl knew each and every part of him so well. "Kuch nee...soch raha hun...Muskaan aur Rahul ki bhi shadi ho jayegi....ab to bass hum hi reh gaye hain," he said, trying to cheer himself up too.

Riddhima giggled slightly, and replied, "Haan...wese to humari shadi main bhi ab ziada time nee rehta...i think, Papa ko tum pasand agaye ho..."

Armaan remained quiet at her statement, for he wondered how she wasnt aware of how far from reality she actually was. Letting her live in her oblivion, he answered back, "Hmmm, mujhe to wese bhi sab pasand kerte hain....barray, bachay, patients, burhay, larkian....sab hee..." he smirked, as he knew what her response was going to be.

"Ooooohh...to ye baat hai.....wese apko nahi lagta ke ab yeh 'larkion' wali category ko 'The End' ka board dikha dena chahiye...?" she chuckled, as did Armaan on the other side.

"Bilkul nahee...kyun, apko aissa kyun lagta hai, Riddhima jee...?"

"Iss liye...Armaan jee, kyunki bohat jald apki shadi honey wali hai...wo bhi mere se...aur shadi ke baad kisi larki ki taraf aankh utha ker bhi dekha na...to..."

"To...? To tum kia kar logee...? Hmmm..?" Armaan carried on, irritating her as she rolled her eyes, as he could so imagine her doing.

"Woh to main tumhain baad main bataungi....per kerungi aissa, ke tum kisi ko bata bhi nahi sakoge...," Riddhima smiled to herself, as she lay down in her bed, talking to him on the phone.

"OOoohhhh Riddhima......what's going on in your mind, my dirty doctor...?" Armaan winked involuntarily, though she couldnt see him.

As the meaning of his dialogue set in, Riddhima blushed crimson as Armaan giggled.

"Theek hai theek hai...plan change matt kero...tumhain jo kerna hua ker lena...i swear, main kisi ko kuch nee bataunga...it will be our own dirty little secret..."

"Shut up Armaan!!" Riddhima spoke up at last as Armaan laughed.

"Acha acha...ziada ghussa honey ki zarurat nahee hai...main to bass yeh keh raha tha, ke agar tumhain meri izzat per haath dallna hi hai, to shadi takk wait ker lo....uske baad, you will have full permission..." he laughed as Riddhima blushed profusely....."Acha Basket..itna matt sharmao...! Main mazak kr raha tha..."

"Tch..Armaan...mujhe tang matt kero...ab jao, mujhe sona hai!!"

"Jao to aissay keh ree ho jese main wahiin hun, tumhare pass..."

Both of them lasped into silence after he uttered the last line, for both were reminded of the absence of the other and hwo much they missed it. After a moment, Riddhima spoke up.

"I love you Armaan..."

Armaan closed his eyes at these words, for he could never get tired of hearing them. Before he could reciprocate, she carried on.

"Aur mein janti hun kuch aissa hai jo tum mujhse chupa rahay ho...par jo bhi hai, i will wait for you to tell me....i know you will..."

A moment's silence again.

"I love you Riddhima...!! Thanks for understanding..."

"Acha ab jao aur kuch kha lo..janti hun main, subah se kuch nee khaya hoga.....go eat something, and then go to sleep...tum kal wapas arahay ho na...?"

"Hmmm...." Armaan was genuinely touched by her concern for him, and how she always knew what he was upto.

"Chalo theek hai...i will wait for you...take care Armaan..."

"You too sweetheart...love you...bye..."

As he put down the phone, he felt a tad bit happier and cheered-up for the first time in the whole day, and as he picked up the phone to call in room service, he wondered what he would ever do without her.

***********************************************************************

"Abbay sallay phone uthaaa…."

Rahul spoke to the unresponsive gadget in his hand, trying for the umpteenth time to get through to the one person he wanted to talk to at the moment the most. He had been calling Armaan since the past 10 minutes, and had been getting his voice mail every time. Finally throwing the cell phone on the bed, he put a hand to his hair and cursed the absence of his best friend.

"Harr din…harr din uski baqwas sunanay ke liye, I am there…and the one day I need to tell him something, he disappears…..uuurrggghh!!!"

Just as he shot his cell phone a last angry look before turning his back to it and stomping out of the room, the phone rang. Without a second thought, he picked up the phone.

"Sallay kaminay…kidhar marra hua tha tu? Main kabse call ker raha hun…sun…mujhe tujhse aik bohat important baat kerni hai….tu…"

Before he could carry on with his rattling, Armaan interrupted him.

"Rahul….listen, I need you to come here…."

"Armaan? Kia hua…? Is everything okay?" Rahul was instantly worried due to the tone of Armaan's voice.

"Yeah…everything's fine…main ghar pe hun…tu jitni jaldi ho sakey, yahan aja…um waiting…"

"Yeah sure…I am on my way"

And with that, he picked up his car keys and literally ran out of the house, for this was definitely something important. Armaan had never sounded more serious.

Nikki took a deep, frustrated sigh and closed her eyes. She couldn't believe he had actually gone ahead and done it. Now, as he sat in front of her, with his hands clasped under his chin and looking back at her with questioning eyes, she finally decided to break the silence that had enveloped them since the time he had narrated the whole event to her.

Without uttering a word, she got up and kneeling down in front of him, pulled him into a warm hug. She was surprised beyond words at the act her best friend had pulled off, for she had never expected him to kneel down in front of his parents. It must have taken a great deal of will power and undying love for Riddhima that had made him do it, for no one was aware of the hate Armaan had for his father than Nikki herself.

Armaan was touched by her act of embracing him, and he hugged her back, thankful for creating an alibi for him and just being there. As they separated, Nikki held his face in her hands and hitting her forehead with his lightly, muttered, "I am proud of you."

He smiled back at her, at the girl who had literally saved him from putting his life through hell, who had stood by him through thick and thin, to whom perhaps he was the closest to amongst all his friends. Nikki was not just his best friend, he almost felt a brotherly affection for her, for she had filled up a void in his life that Emaan had left behind. Nikki ruffled his hair slightly and then heaving a sigh, sat down next to him, holding his hand.

"Okay…to ab batao…Riddhima se baat ki?"

Armaan shook his head in answer to her question. Before Nikki could carry on, the doorbell rang and Rahul walked in a minute later, slightly out of breath.

"Armaan…!! What happened? Sab theek hai na…? You…," Rahul calmed himself down after he took in the scene before him. Clearly, Armaan wasn't dying and there wasn't any pressing issue at hand.

Armaan involuntarily smiled at his concern, for he knew better than anyone how worked up Rahul used to get in such situations.

"Haan sab theek hai…I just needed you with me…right now…"

Rahul eyed him carefully and sat down on the sofa in front of him, passing Nikki a courteous smile. Before Rahul could question him any further, he replied himself.

"Aaj Mom Dad Riddhima ke ghar ja rahay hain….humare rishte ki baat kerne…I want you there with me."

A moment of silence passed between them, and then Rahul walked up to him and patted his shoulder lightly, assured of the fact that this small gesture would make Armaan understand how greatly he cherished the amount of trust Armaan held in him, and the importance the former had in his life.

"WHAT?? YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED?"

Riddhima couldn't keep the tabs down on her volume as she heard the news being split to her from her friend's mouth. Muskaan glared at her with ready-to-kill eyes and before she realized it, she was being pulled into the fire-escape by her friend.

"Tera damage kharab ho gaya hai Ridzi…puri dunia ko announce kerna hai kia?"

"Sorry…sorry…main thori excited ho gait hi…but MUSKAAN….SHADI!! I cant believe this…um soooo happy for you" Riddhima laughed happily at the good news.

"Acha bass bass…ab itniiii khush matt ho…mein abhi shadi nee ker rahi hun…par haan, baat pakki ho gai hai," even Muskaan couldn't keep the happiness out of her tone, even though she tried to be as nonchalant as she could be.

"Woww…that's awesome….mujhe pata hota ke yeh sab itni jaldi ho jayega to main bhi tere saath Patiala chalti…ab dekh na, saghai bhi ho gai aur humain invite bhee nee kia," Riddhima grumbled.

"Arey sorry yaar…tujhe to pata hai na, meri pagal family ka….aik din intezar nee kia…idhar humne unhain sab kuch bataya, udhar unhon ne humari shadi teh ker di…ab tu hi bata, main kia karti," Muskaan rambled on as Riddhima laughed.

"Acha chor…kia farq parta hai…its just…I am so happy for you…," Riddhima took her friend into a deep, warm hug as Muskaan hugged her back.

Muskaan couldn't fathom the fact that she was finally engaged to Rahul. Their families had had no qualms about the marriage, in fact they were more than happy over the binding of the knot between the two families. She had wanted to tell Riddhima before anyone, as she was the one she was closest to in the group. Similarly, Rahul had been adamant that Armaan would be the first person to know, and had gone off to his place to break the news to him.

"By the way..yeh Rahul kahan hai?" Riddhima asked Muskaan as they made their way out of the fire-escape.

"Rahul..? Who to Armaan ke ghar gaya hai…usse yeh news batanay," Muskaan replied, grinning widely.

Riddhima halted in her track at the mention of her boyfriend.

"What? Armaan ke ghar? Armaan wapas agaya hai…?"

Muskaan looked at Riddhima, confused. "Haan…who to subah hi agaya tha…ussi ne to bulaya Rahul ko apne ghar..."

Riddhima heard this piece of news and then tried to register it in her mind. That meant that Armaan was back, so why hadn't he called her? Why hadn't he reported back at the hospital…? While she was lost in her thoughts, her cell phone rang. Excusing herself from Muskaan, she picked up the phone.

"Riddhima…?"

"Jee Maa…main bol ree hun…"

"Beta tu ghar asakti hai…abhi…?" Padma asked her daughter, smiling over at Anjali, who was setting the table.

"Ghar…? Abhi…? Kyun Mom…? Sab theek hai na…" Riddhima got worried, because her mother never called her out of the blue just like that.

"Haan haan…sab theek hai…bass ghar per kuch guests aye hain…to tumhare Papa chah rahay thay tum bhi ajao…"

Even though Riddhima was confused at her mother's reply, she agreed to come home after taking leave from Dr. Keerti. Why was she being called home for some random guests? Why was her father calling her back specifically? And where the hell was Armaan?

hey kiran...

firstly i really appreciate u updating even when u have exams ...... good luck for exams... my exams are approaching but i still come dail to check if u have updated.. lol... and its always a treat to read ur updates

secondly, i luved your writing style as usual and the way u described armi's emotions and bond between niki-armi and rahul-armi was superb.. even ridz's rambling bit and how it cheered armi was excellent... hats off

last (but not the least) i think amri should have told ridz as she does have a right to know what's coming.. now she's gonna be upset and shocked and i bet armi is going to be in trouble with her for a long itme this time as this is really gonna hurt her a lot... and i suppose she will cry more than she would have had he told her this beforehand... i m expecting a drama to unfold next time

now ALL THE VERY BEST FOR YOUR EXAMS.. .and do not i repeat DO NOT try to update avoiding ur studies and only update if u have extra time and u have done the preparations of ur exams well enough... okies sweety 😉 now u take care of ur self and don't forget to take rest as well as study...😳

love

Pari😳
