Part 2
The morning start with a beautiful view.......the sky was shinning with sun and the atmostphere was filled with the fragrance of the flowers.....it was beautiful...
Laura get out from the washroom......her hairs were tied up in a towel while she was wearing a beautiful sleeveless knee length peach color dress, matching her skin beautifully.....
She turned to the dressing hearing the buzz of her cell
"Laura" hearing armaan voice on other side.....Laura smiled
"Hi, Good Morning Ammy"
"Good Morning" Armaan said excitedly
"How'z the shouting going?" She asked
"Going good.........howz riddhima......is she ok?"
"Didn't check her out till now........why any reason?" Laura said throwing her towel to the bed
"Ya, she had a hard time yesterday...........just do me a favor.....go and spend the day with her.....take her to shopping and buy a dozen dresses for her....every kind.....and bill will be in my account"
"Don't worry about that......i will do it" Laura said seriously
"Take care of her....and try to make her get normal......i will tell you details after getting back"
"Ok, take care" Laura cut the call........and put on the blower to settle her hairs
But it was not a good day for Riddhima........she stayed awake whole night to welcome the morning with tears........She was terribly missing her parents, her brother..........She never thought there will come one day that she had to stay without them....
She has closed herself in the room, laying on bed........hugging the pillow.......till Laura got on the door and pushed her into the washroom...after freshing up she had a forceful breakfast and then went to the shopping with Laura............Laura took her to her own boutique which she just opened a bit back
She was a well developed designer by now.....and Cathy was having training in art............she wanted to be a good painter in future.....
Laura made her buy every kind of dress.....Night suite, formal, casual , party wear.......with matching accessories to most of them..............At night, while arranging her closet which was now almost flushing out.....Cathy said holding sweet top in her hand
"Sis, you never showed me this style...."
"Cathy....its not my brand..........its Suzy's "Dreamz" collection" Dreamz........how she was crazy of wearing the branded dresses but never put up the question to her parents as she knew the financial situation of her family........But now.....she got it without any question, without any demand
"Riddhima, where are you lost" Laura said shaking her a bit
"Nothing..." she passed them a little smile...
"ok, lets come.........i will show you the house" Laura and Cathy take her upstairs to let her know about the house
"Well this house has 12 bedrooms.....but only 3 are in use....." Cathy started.....
"This is Mother room........." Cathy said indicating the first door on the left.......she opened the door slightly to let her see in......it was beautifully arranged plus she saw the Chirst pic on the wall...
Riddhima went infront of that and crossed her heart and did a little prayer
After she was done, Laura take her to the front room
"Its Ammy's room......i mean Armaan.........Mother from the start had this room infront of his as she was his care taker...........So need to be alert" But it was locked.....
"You will see it some day or other...." Laura said sweetly
As they move forward, she saw many framed pics of armaan on the wall......one was huge with the "Flame by Ammy" written down
"This one pic is of the last album of armaan..."
Album???.......Riddhima got confused
"Album? what does armaan do?" Riddhima said seriously while Cathy and Laura looked at her in shock
"You don't know him" as she nod in No....they both smile and Laura hold her from her shoulders behind....moving forward
"Don't you see TV?"
"We were not rich enough to had one" Laura and Cathy got serious and Laura started
"Armaan is a singer.......a huge one.....but he left that after the death of his father, three years back" Laura said sadly
"He instead open a music company to promote new talent........but one month ago, i am so glad, he again started giving importance to his singing......"
"And this is our room" Cathy said excitedly which stopped Laura saying any further
"Nice one" Riddhima said genuinely as it was having a touch of Maroon with silver............beautifully decorated with two single beds along with a cotton patted chair swing hanging between the beds....
Riddhima loved that............Later Cathy and Laura made her see armaan's father room which was too locked.......and kitchen, laundry, main hall......and tv lounge...
All was decorated with the high standard taste.....
"Ammy just give a new look to all this....."
"Its really so elegant" Riddhima said sweetly
"Thank you" Laura said sweetly as cathy left to make one of her assignment
"Why you both share a room?" Riddhima said sitting on the high chair placed beside shelf...
"Cathy fears of dark.....and from the start we had the habit of staying together........." Laura moved to the refrigerator to take out some milk as it was about Tea Time......
"The biggest advantage is that you never get bored..........if you feel like talking to some one, you can even talk to some one in the middle of the night to share your fears........Though Cathy do it mostly" Laura smiled and Riddhima too
Laura put the Popcorn bag into micro and in the mean time, the tea was brewed....
Getting into the TV lounge, Laura put the last concert CD of armaan while Cathy and Nanny too joined them
She saw armaan there, full of life.........having a guitar in his hand and singing like a rockstar.....the crowd was calm now......the beat start and so the crowd went crazy
Holding the mic, engrossed, he started
"Rahain mor doon.....diloon ko jor doon
meri wafa pe shaq na kar tau aaye haseen
Main beghar hi sahi, deewana hi pagal sahi main
Pyar hoon, Sehra main bhi bahar hoon
Main azaad hoon, is door ki awaz hoon main....ooo yeh
Mujhe jo badh de, meri rahoon ko jo rok de
Iss jahan main koi aisa hai kahan
yaara ik badal, main awara
Raasta hai assman mera saara
Jhukna mujhe nahin gawara
Main woh hoon, mayosiyon se jo na hara"
And the crowd was in full motion......getting crazy on every beat.....He was looking so carefree, calm yet so powerful and charming
"Aaja Bahoon main
Khara hoon Rahoon Main
Hum donon, ik jaan ho jain aaye sanam
Meri Humraaz ban, tu hi shuba ka saaz ban...
Gunguna, ik geet koi pyar ka
Mujhe galay laga, sada bhi tujko de yehi sada, aa ja
Aa mere saath chal, aaja duniya ko de badal
Iss jahan, main mujh sa hai kahan
Jaana, ik badal main awara
Raasta hai aasmaan mera saara
Rukna mujhe nahin gawara
Main woh hoon mayoosiyon se jo na hara
Main azad hoon, is door ki awaz hoon main......ooo yeh...
oooo....ik badal hoon awara.....pagal deewana
Rukna mujhe nahin gawara....pagal deewana
ik badal, maina awara
Raasta hai asman mera saara
Rukna mujhe nahin gawara
Main woh hoon Mayoosiyon se jo na hara
IK BADAL"
Laura and Cathy were singing the song all along with him and was too seemed to be like those enthusiastic crowd which clapped all along the song
He was surly a damn good singer....he knew the beats, the tricks..........He surly must have trained himself ....Riddhima thought
"How was that?" Cathy asked excitedly
"It was beautiful" Riddhima said truth......she was surly amazed with his singing
"We have our Tea Time like this............we take out one of armaan's collection and go through it" Laura said passing her cup of tea to her while the show was continued on LCD.........In between, Cathy did a little dance and all applaused for her
After having a great and tired day, Riddhima was about to go to her room when Cathy come up with the code-less
"Riddhima Sis, Armaan Bhaiya's call" Riddhima liked the way Cathy called her sis....in the same way she called that to Laura
Holding the code-less, Cathy ran upstairs to her room while Riddhima too get inside her room
"Hi" Hearing the same excited voice from other side, Riddhima got a little smile........."Does he always stay this happy?" she wondered
"Hi" Riddhima said plainly......but she was smiling, it was pretty obvious to armaan
"A pretty good Hi.....so it seems you had a great day with Laura and Cathy"
"Ya, but why did you do this much for me.......those clothes were very much expensive" Riddhima said, Complaining
"Oh, nothing to worry about"
"But"
"Look Riddhima, you are staying with me now......you are my friend and a good friend can do anything for her friend"
"But it was too much"
"Riddhima, stop complaining yaar........." armaan said being a bit angry
"I am not complaining but....." but armaan cut her in between
"No more buts, please" His tone was of warning
"Ok, Ok....sorry" She was apologetic
"Its ok"
"You are a Good Singer" Riddhima said after a bit silence
"Oh, only good......I thought after the years practice, my inspiration will rate me a big high.......atleast "Better""
Riddhima was shocked as why he called her that...
"But when we meet before?" She was shocked
"We did......Its just you don't remember it now but i did.........I will tell you about that after i get back.....Take care and have a Good Night"
"Good Night" Riddhima said that after a little pause
And the line went dead but that left Riddhima in a pool of memories
"Where i saw him?" She put pressure on her brain and recollect all memories of her school life......but alas! she didn't get a single of him* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
