*~* Chapter 3 *~*
As the music started he led her up the dance floor. Smiling sweetly she could clearly look into his eyes as they were so close to each other. Those greyish blue eyes made her feel that she was missing something vital. She felt as if she should remember something that she wasn't. So she got lost in her own thoughts as she started into his eyes.
"Having second thoughts about laughing at me?" he asked haughtily.
Deciding to play along she said, "You can say so, after all not all men I've met are so..." she trailed off.
Taking that as a compliment he smirked. "No one can resist me."
"I bet I can find one." Riddhima replied.
"Yeah? And who would that be?" Armaan asked raising his brow.
Rolling her eyes she said, "Me!" she escaped from his clutches and went back to her friends smiling smugly. When she turned around she saw that he was still fuming.
*~*
"Armaan, can we go to the playground one last time before I leave." His best friend asked him.
"Anything you want Riddhima." Armaan replied holding back his tears. He didn't want Riddhima to leave. She had been his best friend ever since they had been born. Now only after ten years of true friendship they were being separated.
Riddhima smiled her toothy smile which Armaan loved. She grabbed his hand as they ran towards the playground. It was early in the morning and it was quite peaceful. Riddhima sat on the swing and Armaan started pushing the swing slowly. As Riddhima started to go higher and higher, she started laughing with the thrill of the wind hitting her face. Armaan could not help but smile as he heard her laughs. He lived to see her smile.
After a while they sat down on the grass. Riddhima was sitting between Armaan's legs with her head on his chest. She played with the button of his shirt with a small smile on her face. She was always happy and blissful when she was around Armaan. She loved everything about him.
"Riddhima, you won't forget me after going to New York, will you?" Armaan asked as he played with her long beautiful hair.
"I can never forget you Armaan." Riddhima promised, but Armaan was not content with that.
"I love you Riddhima." Armaan said as she looked up at him and smiled.
"I love you too, Armaan." Riddhima confessed as a bright smile lit up Armaan face. He hugged her tightly to his chest. She hugged him back and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feel of his arms around her.
"I think its time for us to head back home." Armaan said even though his heart ached at the thought of Riddhima leaving. Riddhima removed her head from his chest as Armaan helped her stand.
They had just started walking when Armaan stopped all of a sudden.
"What happened?" Riddhima asked confused as she wondered why he stopped all of a sudden.
"Riddhima, I wanted to try something I saw." Armaan confessed a little embarrassed.
"Okay." Riddhima replied smiling happily.
He closed the little space between them and placed a soft, sweet kiss on her lips, lingering just a little bit.
Riddhima opened her eyes slowly as they parted. A beautiful blush covered her cheeks.
"I saw my father do that after he told my mother that he loved her, so I thought..." Armaan trailed off feeling shy.
"Thank you Armaan." Riddhima said shyly as she interlaced their fingers.
"For what?" Armaan asked puzzled.
"For giving me the best memory I can carry with me for the rest of my life." Riddhima said looking into the greyish blue eyes that she had fallen in love with since a long time.
"I can never forget this Riddhima. It is the first time I kissed someone I loved. I will never be able to forget it." Armaan promised as he drowned into the depths of those lovely hazel eyes.
Armaan sat up on his bed. He realized that this was just a dream. He had not dreamt of his first love since a long time. But last night after staring into that same hazel eyes(or so he thought) he could not help but wish to meet her.
'Does she still remember me after fifteen years? Does she even remember that I was the first one who loved her?' Armaan wondered.
*~*
'Was that person my Armaan? Was he the one I loved?' Riddhima thought as she made breakfast. She still remembered the first time he kissed her. She had loved the feel of his soft lips against her. It had felt right.
Shaking her head she scolded herself, "Focus Riddhima."
Just then the doorbell rang. "Coming!" she shouted. She opened the door only to find Anjali and Muskaan giggling.
"Morning!" they said cheerfully as they entered the house.
"What's up with you two? You two have been giggling like teenagers since yesterday?" Riddhima asked wondering what on earth could make them giggle.
"You better sit down coz I don't think you will be able to digest what we want to tell you." Anjali said.
"Okay." Riddhima said sitting down on the couch.
"Since we figured out that you weren't going to date anyone willingly, we decided to do so ourselves."
"You did what?" Riddhima said shocked.
"Relax, it isn't as you think. We registered you at a chat club and sent a mail to this guy who sounded so hot!" Muskaan said
"What!" Riddhima said dumbfounded.
"Oh! Come on. You yourself know that you need to go out more. I mean you are twenty five for god's sake. You never really get ready to meet any guy. So we decided it was time for us to do something about it." Anjali said calmly.
"You know you guys are impossible." Riddhima said defeated as she knew her friends were right.
"Ridz, please just try and be friends with this guy. He seemed nice otherwise we wouldn't even have messaged him. We would choose nothing but the best for you." Muskaan said placing a hand on Riddhima's shoulder.
"Yeah, I know that. But just so you both know, it may not be anything more than friendship."
"Let's see about that." Anjali said smiling smugly. Riddhima shook her head with a small smile on her face as she knew it would be impossible to argue about such a thing with Anjali.
*~*
"So what do you think?" Atul asked Armaan.
"What do you expect me to say? Did you really have to specifically state all those things about me on the profile?" Armaan said frustrated with his friends' behaviour. "Especially the name - sexyguy_workaholic? I mean seriously guys, what were you thinking? Don't answer that." He said before Atul could get a word out of his mouth.
"It suits you so much. Just so you know you already received a message from a girl to which we replied." Rahul said grinning.
"I'm sure whatever you would have written would have been unlike what I would have said." Armaan said confidently as he switched on his laptop.
"Anyways we are heading out. Hope you enjoy your conversations with this girl." Rahul said as he and Atul stepped out of Armaan's place.
He logged in with the account that his friends had made for him and went through what mail he had received.

'What type of conversation did these people have?' Armaan wondered. He was shocked reading the messages they sent to each other. The picture they had portrayed of Armaan was totally different from the one that he was. He decided that it was time that he corrected this. Taking in a deep breath he started typing.

Hey,
I wanted to apologize about the conversation we had till now.
My friends made this id for me and it was with them you were chatting yesterday.
I am not at all the person they have portrayed me as.
If you would like, then we can start afresh again.
I completely understand if you found yesterday's conversation too flirty and wouldn't like to continue our friendship.
But I sincerely hope that I get to know you.
Until next time
Now Armaan could just hope that he could be friends with the other person as he had some feeling in the pit of his stomach will said that something good will come out of this mail.
