PART 14ok guyz here is part 14, hope yous like it...
They got out of the car, armaan rubbed his eyebrows, grinning a bit, he had a really hard time subsiding ridhima's cries, god..she was crying like someone died, he sighed, tired from the day's events, he glanced at the main doors, his mind went back to how he was exiting them as a single man, ammy...dudee what will yer mates say in states man, the armaan mallik got married, gosh..', he felt appalled at the thought of being married, ridhima came and stood beside him while muskaan and anjali adjusted her lehnga, she smiled looking at him , the way he calmed her down, stopped her from crying and helped her, it made her feel special, she felt touched,
'okie dokie ridzi, u r all set ta step in', muskaan tucked the curled fringe behind ridhima's ear, while she mumbled a little thank - you,
Armaan watched the two girls sorting out ridhima's outfit and got annoyed,
'omg..we r home alreadi muz, she dsnt actually have to look gud nymore', armaan moaned,
'shup u...ammy u dont knoe how much effort it takes to be a bride', anji said bending down and making folds on ridhima's lehnga,
'aaaa mai goddd....ya so why dont yous stay here...ill make an entry', armaan was just about to go when rahul stopped him,
'ammy...what the f**k, why'd ye hav ta be sooo impatient ere...wait now', rahul caught his arm, while armaan rolled his eyes,
'hm...k lets go now', anjali got up and announced, after few minutes,
'finalllllly', armaan sighed, while muskaan slapped his arm..
They entered the house, ridhima looked at bi, who had a big smile on her face, she kissed both ridhima and armaan's forehead, ridhima smiled back politely, finding everything a bit new around a different family's presence, although it was nikki's house and she used to come here everyday, but things felt unusual to her, godd i miss mum so much, she fidgeted with her dupatta,
'ridhima, this is not really our home, so we havent arranged anything like the ghar pravesh thing but its only a matter of 2 days, den you'll be at yer real house', ananya patted ridhima's cheek, armaan on getting the news, couldnt help but sigh in relief, finally no more of them shitty rituals, he closed his eyes,
'ahhh thank u god, u showed sum mercy on yer man', armaan looked up as if talking to god, while ridhima chuckled, he is tired, aww, she thought pitying his condition,
ananya glared at him, really annoyed now, he didnt behave at all during this trip, she felt irritated,
'right so before we all head to rest...everyone...armaan ridhima, i have a surprise for you..infact all of us..chalo', ananya announced and took all of them to the kitchen, ridhima had her brows raised in excitement the whole time, going towards the kitchen, wondering what the surprise is, while armaan, who was just moaning about how he isnt getting anytime alone with her, stopped suddenly seeing the beauty standing infront of him, ridhima's eyes widened, 'OH MY GOD', they both mumbled in amazement,
there stood a four tier triple chocolate fudge cake, looking elegant and classic as ever, ridhima's eyes began glittering to see chocolate infront of her, she loved chocolates, while armaan couldnt help but purse his lips, wanting to taste the tempting cake, according to him, chocolate was his only love in this world, though no one could tell this seeing his built and physique, his daily visits to the gym played a major role here, Bi saw the two and giggled,
'kaisa laga surprise', ananya approached ridhima and armaan,
'thanks aun...oops mumma, its amazing..i loved it', ridhima engulfed her in a big hug, feeling the much needed motherly love,
'yup i can see dat', ananya hugged her back, she simply adored ridhima, she saw a daughter in her, ridhima's smile faded a bit, hearing her comment, she felt a bit conscious of her surroundings, ridzi wat were u doing, stop acting like a kid, cake ko aise bachon ki tarah dekh rahi thi, u idiot, mum told you to be a mature girl now, she looked down, ananya noticed this and kept a hand on her head, 'ridhima...kiya hua..tum achanak upset kyun hogayi', she asked, billy came forward, feeling concerned, while armaan just looked at her, 'nw wht', he mumbled to himself, he was a bit confused with the way she reacted at everything, smetimes she gets real happy, then she gets sad, he thought,
'oh eh no just..nathin, chale cake', she pointed towards the cake, making everyone break into a smile, but billy noticed the way all of a sudden she stopped herself from looking at the cake and portrayed herself as if she is not really interested,
'ya um babes are we ready ta attack', armaan held the knife in his hand, making ridhima burst out into laughter at his funny choice of words, armaan smiled and gave the knife to ridhima, she held it in her hands and pointed towards the cake, armaan kept his hand on hers, standing behind her, making her close her eyes, armaan felt his heart skipping a beat, he looked down, focusing on the cake, cutting it, while the rest hooted and clapped cheerfully,
Armaan sat on the counter, after having the most delicious cake, he saw his mates having a great time, anji putting chocolate on rahul's face to annoy him, he laughed at how muskaan threw a piece at rahul, poor guy was pinned between the two ladies, the elders had gone up to their rooms and now it was only them, good...i get time alone with ridhima now, he glanced at her to see that she was busy in her own world, munching the cake animatedly, he chuckled and went towards her, she was eating another spoonful of the cake but stopped seeing armaan coming near her, the cake was still in her mouth, godd she is the cutest thang', he sighed, looking at her,
'hmmm seems like ma wife here is a chocoholic...eh', he asked pushing the plate away, kicking himself for saying the 'wife' word, duddde wat ye doin, she's alreadi thinking wrong tings ere, he mentally smacked his back, he liked the sound of it though, shaking his head, he stood up, all set and ready to take her upstairs,
'armaaaan, i love chocolates, i remember me and nikki used to be the biggest chocolate freaks...and why are you pushing the plate away, i want more', she complained after realising that she wont get to eat more,
'huh..thats coz i dnt want a fat lady hangin around wiv me..too much cake aint good for one's health', he said, raising the plate up high in air, ridhima tip - toed a couple of times, trying to snatch the plate, but she was having a hard time doing so,
'armaan...wat u doin..dou na...aghh', she took a stool, wanting to stand up on it, but her lehnga made it even harder for her, she finally gave up, sighing, making him smirk at his victory, he didnt know why he was being caring here, dude, stop alrite, keep away, he reminded himself, once again,
'armaan..u arent getting away with this', she folded her hands against her chest but then messed up his hair, knowing that he hates it, she showed her tongue to him and went towards his bedroom, leaving a stunned armaan behind, u jst did not do dat, he mumbled in disbelief..
armaan was just about to climb the stairs when billy kept a hand on his shoulder,
'yup daa...u wanna say smethin', armaan asked politelty,
'armaan i want to talk to you about something bache..chalo mere saath', billy informed and took him towards a more secluded corner of the house, armaan made a face, exhausted now, but followed him, having no choice at all...
Anjali opened the doors and switched on the light, ridhima was spellbounded, seeing how beautifully the room was decorated, jasmine flowers and lavender candles lightening up the whole room, the scent of white lilies mixing in water, mesmerised her, she closed her eyes and a smile crept upon her face, it glowed with happiness, burnt with timidity, she sighed and made her way inside, touching the flowers, feeling their softness, she carressed their petals, a sense of calmness stirred within her, Anji and Muskaan smiled, feeling really happy for their new best friend, praying silently for her, while rahul looked at the three of them, rolling his eyes,
'godd...cnt believe some1 wuld do this much just ta hav sex', he mumbled, giving a strange look at the amount of work and money that was put into the whole setting up of the room, ridhima opened her eyes, disrupted from her peaceful thoughts,
'rahul..i cant believe you would say that, i mean this thing signifies love and', anji stared explaining him, trying to defend the whole wedding night sequence but was cut short by a very angry muskaan,
'anji just leave it...he would never understand the true meaning of love, he knows about everything, he just says all that coz he has lost his morals and values', muskaan came towards a slightly confused ridhima, trying to figure out the cause of this certain change in the atmosphere, rahul clenched his teeth in anger, what the heck, why the hell is she so nosy, does she have to pop in the conversation, he looked the other way, trying to control his anger,
'muski...is evrything ok...why are you guyz shouting at each other', ridhima kept a hand on her shoulder, asking all of them, she has been noticing from quite a while now, there is some sort of problem going on between rahul and muskaan, but what is it, maybe she doesnt wanna tell me, afterall, we arent that kinda friends yet, she concluded,
'em...no ridz..u'll get used to this..we always start shouting and fighting with each other in the middle of nowhere hehe', muskaan smirked to change the topic, ridhima smiled, understanding clearly that muskaan doesnt want to talk about it now, obviously this wasnt the right time, she thought,
'ooookayyy, muzzz we shuld leave her alone now...we'll talk about this later...k ridhima sit like this', anji glared at muskaan, trying to remind her about what they decided after armaan and ridhima's engagement, muskaan looked down, mentally slapping herself from forgetting her promise to ignore rahul if he says anything dirty and be friends with him,
Anjali helped ridhima in sitting up on the bed, she sorted out her dress, taking the veil off her head,
'i can see its very slippery gal...leave it', anji kept her veil one side of her shoulder, pinning it with the strap of her top, while muskaan came over to help too, rolling her fringe in her fingers, to keep them curled up for the night,
'ok...be good now, dont get wild nd yaah dont let yer man get wild as well', rahul joked making ridhima lower her gaze shyingly and giggle at the little bad joke he cracked,
'can we go now, that is if u r done with yer dirty talk', anji slapped his head and dragged him outside, they closed the door, leaving ridhima all alone,
she started feeling goosebumps in the pit of her stomach, the nervousness took over the happiness, she looked down and joined her hands, feeling her heart skipping a beat, something coming closer and closer, connecting to her heart, she knew armaan was on his way, he was coming here, her glance went towards the window, letting in the moon's light, she got up on an impulse, on support of her shaking legs and made her way through those windows, she opened the latch and pushed the glass windows, to let some air in, she sighed,
Armaan walked up the stairs, grinning coyly, aa mai god, cant believe dad was tellin me ta give her time, if she wants it..ta not rush in with all the sex bit, hehe, tellin me, the ammy here, armaan rolled his eyes at the weirdness of the day, he walked through the corridor planning on how to say everything to ridhima, k, dude, just be calm, she is after loosing some things today, be a bit like gentle..alri, he explained himself and stopped suddenly, feeling his heartrate pacing up, something shouting 'run ta yer room', at the back of his mind, he shook his head, realising that its just the hotness of ridhima, making him go crazy, aaa how i could do her tonite man...that would've been gazzz, he'd have ta wait fer that, ammy doesnt go ta gals, gals come up ta ammy, he mumbled and turned the knob, opening his room doors,
a strong gust of wind touched his face, he kept a hand infront of it, finding it hard to see, glancing at the windows which were wide open and the most beautiful woman standing before them, her hair flying and those curled fringes touching her flawless skin, armaan could clearly see her angelic feautures under the moonlight and those lit up candles, he phewed and closed the bedroom doors after him, slowly moving towards her,
The cool breeze was blowing on her face, tosseling her strands, she heard the sudden clack of the door, knowing its armaan, her heart beat exceeded its maximum rate, her hands started shaking, armaan smiled and kept a hand on her waist, whispering a 'hi' in her ears, he turned her around, only to see her eyes shut, tight and pink cheeks turning into a rouge colour, he kissed them, making her breathe heavily, armaan chuckled at her actions and kissed her forehead,
'godd ridhima...calm down..i aint eating ye', he hugged her in comfort, feeling something new, his heart skipped a beat, he felt as if he held a special place in her life, ridhima hugged him back, her eyes still closed,
'soo wat were u scared abou', he asked, parting away and tucking a strand behind her ear, she opened her eyes, feeling his fingers coming in contact with her skin,
'um...no..eh', she moved towards the bed, sitting on the edge, trying to relax herself, she was having a really hard time bringing her heartbeat back to normal and say everything out loud,
armaan came towards her, concluding that she is shy and bent down on his knees, k she's doin fine, dis is the time dudee, we cnt wait more, just spit it out, he took her hands in his,
'babes..i have ta say smethin to u', he looked up at her face to see her nodding, waiting for him to carry on,
'ridhima..see..um.....WELL', armaan stumbled, now ye cant even talk ta a bleedin gal, aaa, he closed his eyes in frustration, finding it hard to spill out the beans, ridhima clutched his hands,
'armaan...something's bugging you but sharing it with someone, makes it easier...ab bolo bhi', she smiled, she knew he wanted to talk to her from the previous day, but the distractions, marriage preperations, all stopped him from going ahead and say what he wanted to,
armaan smiled and kissed her hands, making ridhima moan in delight, aaa man...she's so understanding, how can one be so sweet ta everyone, he sighed,
'ridhima.....we got married when we dnt even know each other dat well, i mean...when two people marry, they know each oder inside out and believe it or not in our case evryting is being rushed in..we hav only met like a month ago and here we are, already havin the big nite..its tooo early', armaan started, he stood up, his pent up anger, slowly rising within him, he hated his parents for doing something like this to him, how can i be happy wen i dnt even knw ma wife prop..erly, he looked out the window, gazing at the deep dark colour of the sky, the blackness of it,
ridhima got up and went behind armaan, keeping a hand on his shoulder, 'i know armaan...everything is being rushed in here, i didnt even expect to get married this soon, but', she replied only to be interrupted by his raised voice,
'buh wat..ridhima we cant live like a proper husband wife and all that shit...we cant..i mean before this whole thang came up we were just mere friends', armaan argued, not listening to her, he didnt know why but the fact the he was married now, frustrated him to the hilt, he didnt want to listen to anyone at that moment, he didnt want to accept this fact that yes he is married now, he wanted to clarify his point to not keep any expectations,
'arrmaan...tumhe..', ridhima was scared to see him bowling in anger, she got slightly intimidated, armaan saw her stepping back, creating a bit distance away from him, he noticed this and calmed himself down, he didnt want to be harsh on her, not at all,
armaan caught her arms, 'loook ridhima, we'll have to create space between us, ye live yer life and ill live mine, armaan raised his brows, he was completely going against his plan, he had planned to just tell her to give him time and keep some space, he had planned to modify the truth a little bit, to not hurt her, but he just couldnt do it now, it was hard for him, he tucked his hands in his pocket, waiting for his words to sink in, waiting for her to say something,
'why did you marry me armaan', she asked, after a few minutes, choking on her voice, her eyes were nearly brimming up with tears, usne mujhse kyun kii shaadi agar usse nahi karni thi to, armaan shot his head up, shocked to see her on the verge of crying, why's she crying, m only sayin that we'll live as roomates fer now, godd omg has she started taking me as her husband, ahh man i told ya..if ye dont talk ta her, it will be late, why didnt ye say it on the day when ye talked ta her about the whole marriage thing, ahhh shit, i thought it wont be a problem, shitt, armaan ran a hand through his hair, speechless, he looked at her, feeling his heart aching to see her cry, he didnt know why but it pained him, it stabbed his heart,
'what was the need armaan...u could have told me, main kisi tarah mana kardeti...why the hell did u come up to me the other day saying it will work out', she sat on the bed, covering her face with her hands, god i wanted this to work out, she wheezed,
armaan sat beside her, 'ridhimaaaa...no u r gettin me wrong ere...like did ye srsly expect me ta start a proper relationship on this day itself...like wont ye have a problem taking someone who you barely know as yer husband...i told ya it will work out but i want us to give SPACE to each other until den', he emphasized on the word space, trying to get his message across, ridhima stared at him blankly, she was no fool to not catch the actual words behind his manipulative tone, she could easily understand what he was trying to imply, he wanted to live his life, his way, with no expecations, tears rolled down her eyes, she felt hurt, she thought he liked her, she thought he was falling for her too, the way he looked at her, the way he kissed her during nikki's sangeet, the way he kisses and hugs her every now and then, she thought he had started to see herself as someone holding some sort of special place in his heart, she was getting everything now, main apne shaadi ki PEHLE din hi haar gayi, she cursed herself,
Armaan hissed in frustration, why is she making this hard for me, i cant stand tears maaann...aghh, he came towards her,
'ridhima...babes..', he tried to start again with what he wanted to say, put it in better terms this time...u dumbas*,
ridhima got up from the bed, ridhima...agar kal tu isse mil leti to aaj yahan nahi hoti, she felt stupid at how he treated her, she felt ugly, clearly, he wasnt interested in her in anyway,
Armaan kept his hands on her cheek, 'ridhima, plz dnt take me wrong ere, i just...', he was just about to explain her when she interrupted him,
'its ok armaan...i got what u meant..u dont have to repeat yerself', ridhima mumbled, in a low and weak voice, she didnt know what to do now, she cant just go back to her home, she will never be able to live happily now,
armaan phewed and smiled, oblivious of her weary state, he gave a side - hug to her,
'but why were u crying baby..u actually scared me...i mean i was freaking out to see you cry', he wiped her tears, ridhima gazed down, loving his touch and his soothing tone,
'i am just tired', she moved towards the bed and lied down, ignoring armaan's frown, buh why was she crying, aaa ur job is done dudde, goin ta states tmroww, jeej this is heaven man, he went inside the bathroom, 'i certainly cant sleep in this ting', he moaned but somewhere in his heart, it did bother him to see her like this, aaa, he shrugged carelessly,
Ridhima saw him going in the bathroom and closed her eyes, armaan, you have put me in a situation where i cant do anything, i cant go back and i cant go forward, you want me to just give in to what you're saying...maine sab kuch kitna galat le liya, sab meri galti hai, tumhare is nature ko maine galat samajh liya, i am such an idiot, tumse pyaar karne lagi thi main, tears started to make their way down her cheeks again, flashbacks of how she met him on the airport, how she started feeling goosbumps hearing his name even before he arrived in india, she felt unattractive, i was right, why would he love me, why would he be interested in me, i am not even that pretty, she sat up and took her bangles out, her jewellery out, she saw her mangal sutra and a fresh set of tears made their way out, who knew
this was going to be taken as a shit, this meant nothing to him, she wanted to take it off but something stopped her from doing it, she ignored her feelings, cursing them for even stirring within her, aaj inhi ki wajah se main yahan hun, she again touched her mangal sutra, wanting to take it off, but it was as if her hands couldnt move,
she saw armaan coming out, wearing a white Tshirt and black shorts, his muscles outlined, she could actually see his abs and his broad chest, he looked like a greek god, the sexiest man,
she lied down immediately, wiping her tears, armaan looked up and saw her already asleep, he sighed, today was a really big day, got a lot done, he slumped himself on the bed beside her, ridhima's heartbeat maximised its rate, feeling his movements beside her, she wanted to turn towards him and hug him, she dug her face slightly in the pillow, wanting to disrupt her thoughts,
Armaan saw how she beautifully she slept on his bed, he really liked the way how she understood him today, how she listened to him calmly even though he was baffling the whole time, he shouldnt have, thats against his rules, he felt peaceful and content after having this major conversation with him, he knew she would get him, she was the sweetest person, he has ever come across, he leaned in towards her and kissed her cheek, making her moan, he chuckled,
'goodnight babes', he mumbled, inhaling her fragrance but parted away immediately, smacking himself, f**k you, ammy, its ironic, you tell her ta create space and now ye are getting all cosy with the babe here, he shook his head and lied down, buh then we're like sharin the bed...aaa ya mad, listen who cares..thats ma bed..she should be movin', his mind battled with his heart and he turned the other way,
She opened her eyes and sat up, seeing him already dozed off to sleep, he was tired, ridhima could see it during the whole day, she opened the pin, which attached her veil to one of her straps, putting the veil aside, she clipped open her hair pins, feeling fatigued, her hair were loose and open now, she tousled them to one side and rubbed her eyes, thinking of her next step, main kiya karun, how can i go all the way to states with him, knowing that he wont care about me, i dont wanne go around, acting as some arm candy, a lone tear skipped her eye, her mind went back to those blissful days of her life that she spent with her family, she remembered what her mum said to her,
flashback:
ridhima had her head in padma's lap and was reading a novel, padma carressed her hair,
'riddhu..pata hai shaadi ke baad aik larki ko kitna kuch samajh kar give in karke sab sambhalna hota hai..', padma said, starting a conversation, sharing a thought with her, they both had always been so close to each other, ridhima saw a friend in her mum, who helped her in times when nikki would'nt have been able to,
'oho mum, kiya karna hota hai', ridhima asked, not paying attention as always,
'well sabse pehle to usse apne pati ko sambhalna hota hai..phir gharwale..phir bache...phir khud wo ghar...hamare yahan aik aurat ko sabse mature maana jaata hai, because she can play so many roles at one time, wo bhi itne ache se, like a daughter, like a sister, like a wife, like a mother, aik aurat se kitne relations nikal aate hain...haina..rishte bante to hain but unhe nibhana sabse bara task hota hai', padma looked down to see ridhima listening to her attentively for the very first time,
'kia hua', she asked, slightly surprised,
'wow mummy...aapko itne ache ache khayal aatein kahan se hain', she hugged her, padma smiled and slapped her head,
'wo isliye kyunki i have u as my daughter....sabse bari careless, tujhe itna sab kuch seekhna hai, and u r getting older day by day', padma spoke out her worries, which made ridhima burst out into laughter,
'chill karo mummy...main kitna bhi seekhloon..i would never ever be able to do what you have done...i love u', ridhima kept her hand again in padma lap and hugged her stomach, both of them smiling..
Her eyes welled up, she was badly missing her mother, she kept her head on her knees and sobbed, she stopped suddenly, remembering her words, giving in, playing the 4 roles at the same time, letting some things go, compromising, sacrificing somethings, agreeing on some conditions but to say optimistic in every situation, ridhima closed her eyes, i have no way out but to compromise here, to just go, i am married and i cant go back to my previous house, crying over every matter, i will have to be strong and deal with matters on my own, she wiped her tears, feeling positive now and glanced at armaan, sleeping peacefully, she adored how he had a cute frown on his face, she broke into a smile and kept a hand on his head, brushing his fringe away from his forehead, having an urge to kiss him there, she ignored it and leaned down, beside him, pulling the duvet over them, feeling hurt, upset but confident at the same time...
----------------------------
The morning sun rays of mumbai peeped in through the curtains, Armaan opened his eyes lazily, he sat up and ruffled his hair, his glance went towards ridhima's sexy figure lying beside him, the douvet cover slightly pushed away, revealing her nape and cleavage, how he just wanted to bury his face in it, he gazed at her gorgeous face and smiled, remembering how easily she understood him, how easily he could say everything to her, aaahh she is a true friend, ammy but now she is married ta ye, keep the distance, he reminded himself once again, he sighed looking at her bare shoulders, her strap slipping away, he was having a hard time keeping himself away from her, ridhima's every little action made her look even sexier to him, he shook his head and got up, giving a final glance to her, he went inside the bathroom, cursing himself...
She got up, startled, feeling plain sheets on her shoulders, seeing them bare, she pulled the straps back on them, phewing, for a second she felt she was naked, memories of the previous night flashed infront of her, the decision she took with that heavy heart,
shaking her head, she got up, hearing the sounds of shower running inside the bathroom, she went up to the dresser lazily and sat down on the chair, she looked at her puffy eyes and rubbed them, waiting for armaan to come out, so she can make her way in,
armaan came out of the bathroom after few minutes, a towel tied around his waist, she could smell his strong musky cologne from where she was sitting, ridhima shot her head up and saw him going towards his wardrobe, she looked at his chisled, muscular body and turned towards the window, avoiding to see him, she knew she would doze off to some other world which only has him in it, armaan sensed her movements behind him and turned around,
'heya...didnt know u were alreadi up...k babes get ready we have a flight ta catch at nite', he beamed happily, ridhima had to look at him now, she faked a smile and went inside the bathroom, armaan noticed how hard she was trying to put on a smile, he didnt know why but he was having a constant feeling that she was sad and upset about something, aaa stop observing her, he slapped his head and went inside his wardrobe to get ready...
Ridhima came down the stairs to help her mother - in - law and bindi in making breakfast, armaan saw her coming down, looking beautiful in a hot floral printed tunic which landed just above her knees, her hair left open, those layered fringes falling on her face, he went towards her,
'aaah...so finally our lady steps down ere eh..', he said jokingly, Anji came towards them,
'ooooh had fun last nite ridzi', she teased, ridhima looked down, tucking her fringe behind her ear, staring at the ground sadly, anji laughed, not noticing her look, taking it as her shyness
'aww...ur gals blushin dude..dat means she had fun', rahul smirked looking at armaan, aahh the man had his night, he chuckled,
armaan saw ridhima looking down, okay, why's she blushin, i didnt even do her, godd, he rolled his eyes, misinterpreting her actions too,
'alri guyz..chill..ahh mai god...u act like freakin pakis sme time', armaan moaned, his friends getting on his nerves now,
'hows dat paki man...that aint paki', muskaan sat down, pouring milk on her cereal,
'yaa rite..that aint paki..thats being a pervert', armaan sat down infront of her, while ridhima went towards the kitchen, not paying heed to their discussion, she wasnt in the best of moods to join in with their conversation,
'arre..armaan ab to sudhar jaa, u r a married man now', billy sat down, armaan frowned at his dad's little statement and looked down, making a face, hating this very fact, rahul giggled covering his face, armaan clenched his teeth in anger and kicked his foot underneath the table, hate yous, he mumbled,
ridhima approached them, holding a jug of juice in her hands,
'ridhima pour in some for armaan too', ananya asked politely, she was completely impressed with the way ridhima worked in the kitchen, she wasnt really a traditional type of mother - in - law but just the fact that ridhima is her daughter - in - law now, she actually took account of her work,
ridhima smiled, armaan gazed at her taking his glass and pouring in juice for him, she knew he was looking at her, why, i thought he doesnt like me, kyun aise baar baar dekhar wo mujhe wrong hints deta hai, she kept the jug down and sat beside him, armaan broke his trance and began eating, kicking himself for gawking at her,
She looked out the window, thinking about her life and this new turn, we became awesome friends but this marriage just ruined everything, i dont even know if i can be myself infront of him anymore, she closed her eyes, now i am going to states with him, away from my family, nikki, everyone, just to play this stupid role, oh main kiya karoon, please help me, a tear skipped her eye,
Armaan came in the room to see her staring at something out the window, seems like dats her favourite place in this whole house, he gave a strange look,
'sooo...what ye gawkin at...some dudee', he stood beside her, tucking his hands in his pocket, disrupting her from her chain of thoughts,
'huh...oh nahi nothing just', she turned around to go when armaan caught her wrist, ridhima gasped and closed her eyes,
'ridhimmaa...somethings botherin ye..KIA BAAT HE', he made her sit down on the bed, he had to ask her now, he just couldnt see her like this, the chick was never so quiet, he thought,
ridhima smiled, listening to his hindi, it always made her chuckle, she brushed his fringe off his forehead, armaan took her hands in his, he didnt care one bit about keeping away, for now, he just wanted to see her happy, she was a brilliant friend, IS a brilliant friend, he corrected himself,
'hmmm so wats the thing', he asked once again, he wanted her to confide in him, dudee shut up, armaan ignored his mind, ridhima sighed,
'seee i am going to states with you, leaving everyone..its hard', she said, armaan sat down beside her,
'hmm...i told ye i am goin ta send u here every year...how cum its hard now', armaan rolled his eyes, wondering what has got into her all of a sudden,
ridhima stared at him for a few minutes, she slapped his face lightly, annoyed with him now, there is already so much going on in her life and here he is, asking her stupid questions,
'oww...so dis is wha i get fer being nice ta ye', armaan kept a hand on his face,
'why r u askin me stupid questions....ill miss them, how long are you gonna send me here for, 2 weeks or three weeks or may be a month..thats it..what about those other 11 months', ridhima looked down, she didnt want to say all these things to him but he is making her confide in him by his soothing and caring voice,
armaan smiled and hugged her,
'ridhima...u'll have fun with us in them rest 11 months....states is soo cool babes..you'll go crazzy abou it srsly', armaan carressed her back, ridhima's heartbeat paced up, she hugged him back tightly, giving in,
'i hope u r right buh its just will i be able to settle in with yous and all the rest of it', ridhima buried her face in his neck, loving the touch,
'you will...i know it..i bet ya in abou three months you'll be laughin over this crazy conversation of ours, and well as far as all them house chores are concerned, you'll do just fine, we have enough maides ta do everythin..dont worry abou it...emm chill karo', armaan added his charm by speaking in hindi, ridhima smiled,
'k now..dont wanna see you sad nymore alri, oh ya niks is cumin ta meet us, come down', armaan gave a peck on her cheek and went out of the room, leaving a simpering ridhima behind,
her smile faded away, kaise armaaan, i cant be happy thinking this marriage of ours is just a joke to you and nothing else, she remembered his words, 'ye live yer life, ill live mine', she got up, stopping her
eyes from welling up,
