PART ONE-RED ALERT!!!!!
Armaan felt uneasy...he didn't know why...He descended the stairs and walked into the kitchen. The mansion was empty except for his dog ,an adorable alsation called Leo. His parents Abheer Mallik and Pia Mallik had gone on a one month world tour which would be ending in another 3 days. Armaan opened the cap of his bottle and poured icy chilly water down his throat. He was glad they were away orelse he would have been sitting with his dad in the main hall having to bear up wid the boring lecture on how to focus on your goals and etc. etc. Armaan rolled his eyes in the memory of his dad who was an unbeatable and extremely successful businessman. Armaan had protested that he wanted to be a sportstar...maybe a car racer but was unceremoniously stuffed in a Law Collge. Armaan resented that college...but still he had found an outlet from frustration in his gang. He could possibly count on his fingers the number of classes he had attended. His lips curved into a charming smile as he fondly remembered his pals- Rahul, Jay, Divij and Adi. 'Rahul' was Armaan's childhood buddy and a highly fun driven guy who had brainwaves every tym he entered the cafetaria. 'Jay' was a quiet .....information box. Name anything...fashion trendz, girls, myths, legends, controversies..he would know it! He was like sum search engine and so the gang called him-GOOGLE! 'Divij' was a total flirt...dark,handsome and a true stud he enjoyed the position of the 'King of heart breaks' in the college. Every morning he thanked god that the girls whom he had tossed away didn't come together to raise their slippers against him orelse he would be doomed. 'Adi' was almost a blurred image of Armaan. He was the spoilt son of the most successful man in the sports business,good looking and highly arrogant. Armaan and he struck an amazing rapport from the first day of introduction. They shared similar likings even...but Adi was fiercely committed to whatever he loved and extremely possessive. And it was very rare for him to commit to anything and it was for this reason of intense loyalty that Armaan could trust Adi wid his life.
Armaan re-entered his room and pricked his ears up. "Was he imagining things or did he hear someone scratching the exteriors of his room?" He flung the window open and checked. The night was calm except for Leo who was looking upwards suspiciously and as if he was in pain...."Leo! come up man...."Armaan yelled sensing something amiss in Leo's expression. But the dog refused to budge. "strange..." muttered Armaan. Till date Leo had never disobeyed him. He hurriedly put on his slippers and went out to check on Leo.
Riddhima opened the locker, tensed to the core.....that dog had nearly ruined everything. Thank god! she had a tube of fevi-quick wid her...she had cautiously tempted the dog with a ball and then glued his mouth with the sticky substance with had fallen on her long hair and messed it up terribly. But she didn't have time for worrying about messed up hair. She hadn't been aware that someone would be there at the Mallik Mansion. Her sources had told her that the Mallik's were away on a world tour...She quickly broke the lock with easy expertise and stuffed the notes...crisp and fresh into her bag. Armaan meanwhile reached leo and realized his mouth was jammed with sum crappy, sticky substance....Just then the red alert blared through the Mansion and Armaan slapped his forehead! He had never even guessed that someone could dare to try and rob them- the Malliks! He sprinted upstairs as fast as his feet could carry him and dashed into the locker room. The empty locker stared at him unashamedly ..."oh man!" he groaned..."ab dad mera keema banenge!" Riddhima's heart beats were increasing rapidly...she had taken refuge in Armaan's room after hearing the main hall door bang open. Her hands had gone all clamy and her body had frozen wid fear. Armaan entered the room bursting with fresh fury.....he picked up the wireless phone and furiously dialled away. Riddhima wiped the beads of perspirations that were kissing her forehead...she was hidden behind the great cream drapes.
Armaan-Adi....guess what?
Adi- Armaan....tu abhi tak suya nahi hai?
Armaan-....na man....some freaking thief has robbed me...
Adi- you?
Armaan- I mean us...the Malliks.....
Adi- kya??? tell me you r joking Ami!.....
Armaan- Nahi yaar....tu abhi idhaar aaja...pata nahi main dad ko kya bataoonga....
Adi- wait up man...call the damned police neways...tera woh guard kahaan hai?
Armaan-(sheepishly) woh gaya hai bhel puri khaane...mere permission lekar...
Adi- Kya tune usse bhel puri khaane ke liye bhej diya?
Armaan- tu ab yaahaan jaldi aa...I am feeling crazy...
Riddhima prayed sincerely that the breeze didn't give away her cover but the breeze too did want to have fun! Armaan wheeled around pushing the hair that fell on his hair adorably...back. His eyes were immensely brown wid worry. Suddenly his nose picked up a faint scent of 'euphoria' perfume...and then the drapes flew away giving him the view of a figure clad in rich black hiding there. "Hey you! "he shouted and grabbed the wrist of the person...but the figure wrung free and pushed him away causing him to land on his bed. By the time he recovered his balance no one was there...
"the wrist felt oddly feminine.."he thought to himself. And his feet felt something ...he picked it up and saw it was a lip gloss with the intial R written on the cap with a marker.
".....mmm.....interesting.....a female thief!" he laughed imagining Abheer Mallik's expression when he would tell him that they had been robbed by a female.
please let me know if you liked this part....
Are you guys okay wid the idea of our sweet riddhima being a robber....well I was highly amused by it and thought it would make a great story.
