Part 6B
It was now 10.30pm... and Armaan and Ridhhima were just in their own world...Both of them were surprised at the amount of comfort they found within each other's company. Armaan for one, was simply enjoying Ridhhima's chit chat about here and there; just to hear her sweet voice, he would gesture her to carry on, one way or the other. Ridhhima on the other side was just going on and on about anything, being completely oblivious of what sort of feelings were arising within Armaan towards her...
Oh my god...heeeeheee... You should've seen my teachers face, she couldn't believe the girls who' played the worst to worst pranks on her, would ever pass her subjects with straight A's!! Ridhhima was giggling at the incident that she'd just shared with Armaan, and he was fascinated about the fact that his sectary, or you could say 'boring' secretary could ever play pranks!!... Really!! I'm sorry to say, but I just can't imagine you playing a prank on someone, you're just too... too... too nice Armaan smiled at her with awe, as he couldn't find any faults in her, she was perfect. Ridhhima gave him an amusing look, he really didn't know real Ridhhima, did he; of curse he wouldn't, he was only aware of the secretary that would come to his office every day, do her work and go back home; and for some reason, she wanted it to stay like that. She didn't want Armaan to get to know the real person inside her. After what Abhimanyu had done with her, she very rarely came came to someone, other than her friends and family that already know her. She felt scared, scared of the fear of being betrayed again, used again... Left alone again...
Armaan watched her as her giggles slowly faded away and that sad and thoughtful look came back. he felt curious to know the reason behind the sudden change, he wanted to know what was bothering her... he wanted her to share her feelings with him the way she was sharing the happy moments of her life just a while ago...what happened? Is it me... why has she gone all quite... *sigh*... I was enjoying that...Should I ask? Armaan was battling with his own assumptions... he didn't want to be nosy, but generally wanted to know the reason behind her change of mood. But he assumed that they hadn't reached to a stage where he could insist her to tell him, so he decided to keep quite...
Ridhhima didn't know why she went all quite, it was a matter of instincts... as if she realised her limits and boundaries that she'd forgotten for moment. Yes, she really and forgotten all her sadness and depressing past and was just taking pleasure of Armaan's wonderful company. Then what had stopped her?... she couldn't pinpoint, but she thought she'd rather leave it there, it was not a good idea to get really close to someone the first time, especially when that someone is your boss.
Armaan watched her intently as her expressions changed from being a frown, to a calming face as she readjusted herself in her seat... his gaze followed, as she lifted her wrist to look at her watch... Oh No Trouble!! Armaan!! Its 10.45 pm... Do you know how late we are??? Armaan went all worried seeing her look around the empty cafe... Relax Ridhhima, it okay...I think we just didn't take time into consideration Armaan tried to calm her down, but the irritated expression on her face was just not going. Armaan knew the time... he had been following it since the time they'd arrived, but for some unknown reason he wanted to spend as much time as possible with her. So, you could say purposefully, he'd kept her mind off from looking at the time, and was successful, till now...Armaan think we should go to our homes now.. It's getting late Ridhhima watched Armaan getting up with a nod as she placed her handbag over her right shoulder. If she isn't wrong, was that a sad look on his face that she'd noticed while he got up??? Naaa... it's probably me and my imagination...Ridhhima huffed off her thoughts and followed Armaan outside the cafe, towards his car. But she was unaware of being right, he really was feeling sad... he didn't care at that moment what time it was... If it was in his hands he would've sat all night listening to her non-stop blabbering because he simply loved every second of it... but no... He had no choice but to face reality.
Armaan in his entire experience with women; never had he ever enjoyed the company of a woman who he believed was not his cup for tea, and for some reason he still believes that. But whenever he is in her presence, she has this strange pull that pulls him towards her and he would gladly oblige without any hesitation or second thinking.
Ridhhima was also surprised at how open she was with Armaan, never had she released herself towards someone so easily. But keeping in mind that it was Armaan, she plainly ignored her curiosity, believing that he is just really good with women and knows how to make them feel at ease while being with him. But she was unaware that she was only partly correct... there was something more to them...
They both sat in Armaan's BMW and made their way to Ridhhima's apartment, and then again, the same silence had approached them. Armaan as usual, was making attempts to have a quick glance now and then of Ridhhima, who he had now confirmed was the most beautiful woman he must have ever seen, no wonder he couldn't keep his eyes off her. Ridhhima on the other side was thinking over today's evening that she'd shared with Armaan; it was definitely an unforgettable one....
They stopped at a signal... the roads were empty and you could barely make out what was around, thanks to the road lamps... Ridhhima pressed the button next to her to open up the automatic window... she let the wind blow into hair as it gave her a soothing feeling... when she suddenly felt wet splashes falling on her face and elbow that was leaning over the window sill.... it was raining. a warm smile approached Ridhhima's face... this was her favourite weather... she began to enjoy the little drops of rain that were tumbling on to the palm of her hands and running down to the tip of her fingers that she'd let out, completely unaware of someone's gawk set on her... Armaan was absolutely mesmerised....
She truly was an angel... he had been watching her since the moment they'd arrived at the signal... he did a silent cheer as he could now set his eyes on her completely for the time being. the beg of feeling his fingers gliding down her hair was getting worse day by day, and today... god knows how he had stopped his hands... consciously he clasped his hands around the steering wheel more tightly. The rain drops were just the biggest enemy of his right now, the way they were caressing her cheeks and palms so delicately, and to see that smile on her face... only he knew at that time how many deaths he was dying all at once. Armaan couldn't help but follow the drops making a trail down her neck, down to her chest... his grey eyes were now displaying hunger... he could make out the light heaving her chest was doing as part of her normal breathing.... her fitted blouse was no help either as it perfectly outlined her evident cleavage.... god!!! What am I supposed to do!!! Armaan silently prayed to survive...Ridhhima...his 'boring' secretary was unknowingly turning him on!!!!
