ok guyz here is part 16...k have fun
PART 16
no offence to any Canadians = squares..lol
She woke up with a flinch, hearing loud noises of someone laughing out from their balcony, she looked around to see armaan not beside her, those white curtains already opened,
brightening up the whole room, she smiled inhaling in the fragrance of those dark red rose scented candles and sighed, feeling blissful,
Armaan came in the room to see her eyes closed and she smiling away in effulgence, he broke into a little snicker and moved towards her, the radiant glow on her face clearly visible to him,
'mornin', he beamed,
Ridhima opened her eyes and smiled politely,
'heeey..so finally you dont feel tired anymore..hun', she asked, twisting her ankles underneath the bed sheet, stretching them,
'yup infact i am goin out with ma mates...after twoo long months...gosh..its gonna be a crack', he said, all ready and set to start his day, feeling energetic,
'hm..so you'll be out the whole day', ridhima looked down sadly, not wanting to even give him a clue of what she was feeling, she didnt want to annoy him, he deserved a little breather but she was sombre, what will i do when he'll go away, she began thinking,
Armaan noticed how she dropped her head, did i just sense sadness here, he wondered, aaa, he rolled his eyes at himself, like i care,
'i guess..', he mumbled,
ridhima looked up, trying to pull off that dissappointed look from her face,
'ohh..buh wen did ye wake up', she asked, lazily touseling her hair to one side, armaan couldnt help but gaze at her exposed nape, he just wanted to dig his face in her neck, kiss it, graze it, aaa man, she had ta be this sexy, ammy ya mad listen up go f**k yer mind if ye cant listen ta it, he mentally smacked his head and shook it in order to focus,
'aa like abou 15 mins ago, then mike called us sayin he's back frem his uncles nd how we shuld make a plan ta hang around', he informed and got up to go to the bathroom,
'hmm mike...oh ya nikki told me about him', ridhima tried to recollect all that nikki told her after returning from america, armaan raised his eyebrows but soon continued,
'aa yeah...he is hilarious..alrite..i am off ta shower', he went inside leaving a confused ridhima behind, isse kiya hua, she felt a sense of discomfit at his change in behaviours, at one time he is so nice and then all off a sudden, he becomes mean and ignorant..god, she sighed and got out of the duvet, feeling slightly fazed from everything that has been happening with her,
'ridhimaa..hi how ya doin, feeling fresh', muskaan greeted her over the phone,
ridhima smiled, 'ahan..fresh as a daisy', she replied, moving towards the balcony, wanting to go out and see it, french doors leading to a wooden deck, surrounded by glass railings, overlooking the Boston Harbour, a sense of delightness stirred within her,
'goood, alri the plan is ye, me and anji are going of ta hang around in the city..we're goin to the blackstone valley and den wrentham..you'll love it gal', muskaan babbled away in excitement, although she had been to that place a lot of times but giving a tour to someone new made her feel agog,
'realli wow, i cant wait..anyways armaan is going out with his mates...so i guess that would be the best fer me', ridhima moaned, in between trying her best to not sound upset, she didnt want anyone to know about armaan and her state of relationship or marriage, it was just personal and its best if it stays that way, i dont want to make a mockery out of this already ridiculed relationship, she thought,
'aah armaan and his friends...he cant live a day without em ridhima and now dat he's back, der is no one who can keep em away frem dem', muskaan reasoned,
'i guess..anyway when will you guyz be comin', ridhima asked, peeking at the time from the wall clock,
'ehhh..its ten now, so um yaah 12ish', muskaan answered,
'omg i have got so much to do, ok bye..ill meet you at 12', ridhima kept the phone down on an instant, while muskaan chuckled on the other end...
She came down the stairs hurriedly, ridzi itni der lagaadi, mum was so right, you have to get up early...u idiot, she cursed herself,
'omg mumma...i know main bohut der se neeche aayi per it was like', she started only to be stopped by ananya,
'oho ridhima..koi baat nahi..why are you so formal, i know you guyz are going out', ananya tapped her cheeks lovingly,
'thanks per aap ko kaise pata chala', ridhima asked, confused, she didnt even inform armaan about it yet,
Ananya smiled and pointed at her pretty day dress, ridhima mumbled a little 'oh', making her giggle,
'acha ab baitho aur breakfast karlo', ananya made her sit down and carressed her hair,
'ehh armaan kahan hai', she asked, pouring milk in her cereal,
'wo to kab ka nikal gaya, he said he'll go to the gym first', ananya sat down and munched on her food, oblivious of the desolation ridhima felt,
mujhe bina bataye hi chala gaya...ridhima why do you keep forgetting you ARE NOT his wife, he doesnt have to inform you, tou kiya ab sab aisa hi chalega, haan, so suffer it, she sighed,
'alrite', she mumbled and got up, moving towards the kitchen to clean it,
'ridhima dont worry about the kitchen..the maid has already cleaned it, you just go out and have fun in town..theek hai', ananya smiled and waved her a good - bye, hearing the door bell,
'thankyou, ill buy you something', ridhima said and went outside to greet her new friends, looking forwards to her first day out...
'aaaaa mike..whats up, whats up', armaan hugged his good friend meeting him after two months,
'aaa grand bro..was up ta the squares...lol, it was gazzz', mike and rahul hi-fived each other, they were standing in the center of wrentham, hanging around, waiting for their group to
arrive,
'ahan..squares..bet ya ammy he saw lots of squary chicks too..haha, did ye get aroun with any', rahul asked, grinning at his friend,
'naah all were tooo hott', mike cracked, on which the other too smirked, discerning the sarcastic comment,
'AS IF you had the sexiest chicks around yer place', mike folded his hands, grinning coyly,
'dudee dey werent dat bad', armaan mumbled, reminiscing ridhima's face, her persona, her beauty, her elegance, he shook his head to disrupt his thoughts,
'yeah..infact our man got married ta one', rahul blurted, a sudden silence filled the air,
'NO WAY', mike muttered, armaan closed his eyes and clenched his teeth in anger, he glared at rahul who kept a hand on his mouth, trying to supress his laughter,
'heya guyz..ammy raool meetin ye afta agesss', raj came towards them, but raised his eyebrows, confounded, as to why everyone was so quiet,
'whats wrong', he asked,
'em..ammy got married', mike mumbled, digesting this very fact, 'dudee you kiddin me innit', he continued,
'MANNNNN...u werent suppose ta say dat..shit..aah f**ksake', armaan smacked rahul's back, feeling a bit gloomy
'um..ohhh..ammy', raj started but soon bursted out laughing, followed by mike and then rahul,
'haha...oooo dude..aa shit man ammy got married..haha where did yer oath ta not marry anyone go bro...this is shit man', mike whooped,
'aa stop ye a**holes, aaa man', armaan tried to stop them, dis is what i was talkin abou, i hate ye daa, he moaned,
mike noticed armaan's sadness and pursed his lips, trying to calm himself down, realizing the limits,
'aaa dudee ammy...so wat..believe it or not i be gettin married sometime in future too', mike commenced,
'ya in future...too bad m already married', armaan rubbed his eyebrow,
mike smirked, 'i guess..buh i bet ya..da chick is not dat bad, afterall ammy wouldnt just marry anyone', mike tried once again, he was shocked, how can anyone just forcefully get him married,
Armaan shot his head up, maan she is the hottest b**tch in the world, he wanted to tell him how sexy ridhima is, how beautiful she looks in everything she wears, how gorgeous her
features are, she is a bird man, but his mind started its work here, telling him to stop, telling him to pull his gear up,
'aaa..why would i be sad man if ma chick was ta be hot', armaan moaned, pretending to brush away his thoughts,
'ohh..dude ye shuld've done somethin...you are american man..why didnt ye call the embassy and yer parents shuldnt be forcin ye anyway..you are well ova 18', mike asked,
'well thats coz..we love our parents man..i know ye'll say so do you..buh our culture is way different', raj explained, defending the indian cultures, 'and moreover, our perception is changed now, no one gets married until dey're above 25, dis is the right age', he continued,
'aaa f**k it..who car..', mike was just about to end the conversation when he stopped right in his tracks,
Armaan glanced up, muddled at the abrupt halt in the conversation, only to notice how his friends was gawking at somebody, he turned around to see a glistening pair of legs, looming
out of the passenger seat, orange platform shoes tracing her complextion, she came out of the car, her hair flying with the cool summer wind, her stands fluttering around, ridhima, her
name bolted out of his mouth, she looked absoluely stunning in a green olive linen dress, which landed just above her knees,
'aa mai god..whose dat man, anji's new mate', mike asked, seeing the three girls approaching them, almost scrutinizing ridhima,
'aaa thats ridhima..ammy's chick', rahul smirked, seeing armaan gawk at her, his eyes speaking volumes,
'WHAT THE HECK..dudee ye said she wasnt hot', mike slapped armaan's head, bringing him out of his reverie,
'whaaaa', armaan kept a hand on his hair, fixing them, already annoyed with his stupid friends,
'are ye crazy...have ye seen yer chick...she is the sexiest bird..ahh u shit man, ye always take the best birds dude', mike moaned, while armaan just ignored his comment, shaking his head, if dey would've been at ma place, they would've hated her too, armaan sighed,
'helllo mike...long time man', anji hugged him, who kissed her cheek,
'yaaa ages..yo muzzz', mike took muskaan in a big hug, he missed all his girl mates,
'welll dis is ridz...our sweet new friend..love her already', anji gave a side hug to ridhima, who smiled,
'yo..i am mike and dis is raj', mike and raj shook his hands with ridhima,
'so plan plan..guyz..wat we doin..ridzi dont forget to collect yer bags before leavin alrite', muskaan reminded her about her shopping bags,
'okie', ridhima smiled and stood beside armaan, 'hey..', she beamed, happy after buying lots and lots of accessories and clothes,
'ya um hi', armaan greeted uninterestedly, he has to ignore her, his mind dictated,
ridhima's smile faded away, sensing the ignorance, she looked down and tucked her fringe behind her ear, feeling timid, her nervousness rushing back, uptill now she felt that she could mix in with his group, as long as he was there, but his oblivion to her feelings was hurting her now,
'umm..why dont we head off to da 21st, it'd be a gud night out', anji suggested,
'cool..we goin der den', armaan announced, caring less about the dejected ridhima beside him,
'ahan agreed...ridz 21st seasons..you'll love it', mike said, breaking her chain of thoughts,
'um ya suree', ridhima faked a smile,
'k..den its realli early now, m tired, so i am off', armaan moved ahead, smacking his knuckles in mike's spine,
'oww ye a**', he moaned in pain, while armaan smirked and walked away,
'sooo ridz..armaan's stupid innit', mike smiled at her, trying to make her feel comfortable,
'tell me about it', ridhima giggled,
'ahan..ill tell em about dis', he said in a friendly tone,
'like he doesnt know', ridhima joked and walked away, wanting to catch armaan,
'ridzzii yer bags', muskaan raised her voice, to get the message across,
'ill take them later muski', she waved her hands at them and went away,
'muskiiii haha...muski', raj cracked while muskaan slapped his shoulder, making the rest burst out into chuckles...
She saw him rolling his sleeves, looking dashing and flamboyant in a black strip roll sleeve shirt and slouch fit jeans,
'armaaaan...kiya baat hai', she stood up and went behind him, taking in the fragrance of his musky cologne,
'nathin i told ye alreadi', he moaned, this was the second time she was asking him the same question, what the heck, he rolled his eyes,
'then why are you so upset', ridhima asked,
'see i cant be happy all the time..goddd', he fixed his collar, annoyed at himself, herself, everyone, he didnt know why he was behaving like this but just seeing the sight of her, in a grey belted leather jacket and stud treggings, her layered hair left open, it all made him irritated, she had to be hot, he couldnt resist it, all he wanted to do was to just push her on the bed and start kissing her, but his mind stopped him, thats what annoyed him the most,
'but you cant be sad all the time as well', she kept a hand on his shoulder and turned him around, before anything he is my friend, i cant see him like this, she reasoned her act,
he gazed at her, that warmth in her eyes clearly visible to him, man who can be pissed off at her, he smiled,
'i am not sad, its jst one of those days wen m real quiet like', he joked, wanting to change the topic or atleast stop it from being discussed,
ridhima looked down, understanding that he doesnt want to share anything with her, 'ohh', she mumbled,
'um alrite..we're late alreadi', he headed towards the door and opened it for her...
'aaa havin the time after ages mann..', mike sipped from his can of coke, they all had planned to not drink today as their doctoral programmes begins from the next day onwards, all had
decided to atleast welcome their careers by not having a hangover,
'yo raool misses the drinks', armaan cracked, seeing rahul shaking his head, nodding positively,
'soo ridz...how did ye guyz meet eachother'. mike asked, curious to know how his friend met the gorgeous lady sitting infront of him,
Armaan's smile faded away, he remembered how he met her, aa shit hate that time, he cursed his luck for the upteenth time, while she smiled, cherishing their first meeting,
'um i came to recieve him at the airport', she said,
'aaa the lady recievin his man ehh', mike teased, noticing armaan's angry expressions very well,
'oh no..it wasnt like this..i was meeting him for the first time', she mumbled, her cheeks glowing into a slightly pink colour,
'ohh ya thats why ammy never talked abou you, coz he never knew you', mike took in the fact, armaan rolled his eyes at him, duhh, is he stoned or wat,
'hey ridzi..dats janet..ma girlfriend', raj introduced his girlfriend to ridhima who waved her a 'hi', in politeness,
'dudee..i thought u'd be ova with her by the time i return', armaan shot his head up in shock, is he still hanging around with her, gosh, he's an a**,
ridhima slapped his arm, 'are ye crazy', she whispered, glaring at him,
'NO', he mumbled and shifted his gaze back to janet, who clenched her teeth in anger,
'em no armaan...i told ya we are together sooo', raj mumbled in distemper,
Muskaan widened her eyes at armaan, who grinned sheepishly, finally recollecting his blunt tone,
'ohhh um..sorry just aa dont mind em janet..cmon guyz take a seat ya', anji made space for her to sit,
'yaa thankyou', she sat down, still eyeing armaan, who leaned back and crossed his fingers showing her the 'peace' sign,
'sooo um ya i forgot to introduce you to ridz..janet this is ridhima, armaan's wife', raj smirked, giving his girlfriend a big chance to laugh like crazy at his friend,
Janet, on getting the chance, snickered at armaan, he pursed his lips, trying to subside his anger, while the rest tried their level best to hide their grins away from him,
'WHAT YOU GOT MARRIED ARMAAN..you never called us...WE ARE ALL FRIENDS RIGHT', she pretended to freak out,
'eh ok..ya no need ta shout gal...its alrite', armaan groaned, preceiving the pretense behind her words, i hate ma life, he sighed,
ridhima sensed the building tensity in the atmosphere and before something major happens, she decided to end it right there,
'emm..guyz lets head to the floor', she stood up and signalled muskaan for help, who nodded and took janet's hand, dragging her to the floor, Anji smiled at ridhima and both made their way towards muskaan,
'goshhh....hate the chick like hell man', armaan sighed, mentally thanking ridhima to end the stupid little interaction, otherwise he would have blurted out all his inner turmoil in frustration and anger, hurting everyone, especially ridhima, which he didnt want to do,
'armaan its all yer fault, why are ye afta ma bird dude..she hasnt done anythin ta ye', raj sat down, offended by his friend,
'ya maan..agreed ye hate her but this very bluntess of yers towards her pisses her off, so just chill', rahul calmed him down,
'ahan..so now lets all move..ridz must be waitin fer her man', mike smirked to which armaan only shook his head, dis time ill just ignore what they say, he decided...
'careful muskaan', he kept his hands on her shoulders to save her, they all were dancing showing their grooves and moves to eachother when she bumped into him,
'oh ya um thanks', she mumbled and rahul smiled,
'ye look se...i meant nice', he mumbled,
muskaan looked down, slightly smirking at his try to please her, thinking that maybe she hates all these words, he is sooo stupid, she chuckled,
'thanks, you look sexy too', she joked, trying to hem the awkward silence between them,
'oh ya', he looked down, kicking himself for acting like a weirdo infront of her, dudde this is the time, say all ye want, he stared at her,
while she tucked her curly fringe behind her ear and lowered her gaze, her cheeks slightly glowing red, muski, this is the right time, you promised anji and for how long are you gonna
stay mad at him,
'em rahul wo', she shot her head up, hearing him call her name at the same time,
he, on an instant, caught her hand and took her outside with him, wanting to just confess that he likes her, wanting to atleast be friends with her, to break the ice between them,
'huh where we goin..where ye takin me..rahul', she objected only to be silenced by him, with his finger on her lips..
'soo um do ye like ma friends', Armaan asked her, driving in his new V8 aston martin, heading back home, the dumbness in the car was bugging him so he thought to say a word ot two,
'yeah..they all are sound and funny', ridhima smiled, remembering a joke mike cracked in the restaurant,
'aaa..they are a bunch of crazy people', armaan changed the gear and turned towards the harbour,
'heyyy stop stop', she widened her eyes in elation,
'huh..why..no ridhima i am driving i cant stop in the middle ef the road..jesus', armaan gave a strange look to her randomness, but it didnt affect her,
'armaaaaan stop the car..plz', she pleaded,
'fineee', he groaned in confusion, but parked the car behind the yellow line and pressed the hazard button, trying to make it obvious to her that they were stopping at the wrong time,
she got out immediately not even glancing at him and ran towards the walkway beside the harbour,
'aa now what', he moaned but went after her, wanting to catch up,
'this place is beautiful', she closed her eyes, clutching the railings,
he stopped seeing her standing before the harbour, under the moonlight, her hair touseled to one side, looking like an epitome of grace, she is a beauty man, he mumbled,
moving close to her, he just wanted to follow his heart, he just wanted to act like he's someone really close to her,
'like the sight innit', he kept a hand on her waist and whispered in her ear, feeling compassionate,
She gasped, feeling a tickly sensation in her back, 'armaan', she moaned in delight, loving his touch,
he smiled at her actions, 'see that..dats our house', he took her hands in his and pointed towards a big, familiar looking mansion,
she couldnt breathe in, the way his one hand rested on her waist, the other one in his hands, while his chin slightly resting on her shoulders, it all distracted her, now she just wanted to
close her eyes and give in to whatever he is doing, her worries, hopes and sadness long forgotten,
'oh yaa', she spoke in a very low voice, trying to compare the features of their house with the one he's pointing at,
dudee why did ye say ooh thats OUR house, like jeej, it sounded like ye guyz were some couple..like shit man, get real here', his mind jumped into the scene from nowhere again,
making him part away from her, she looked down, feeling as if she has lost posession over something,
'em i love the three stars right on top of it', she pointed at the stars, trying to end the awkwardness between them,
'yeah..before we moved mum checked out da whole boston literally like the whole boston in search ef some beautiful place with good views', armaan chortled, helping her, ye act like a
t*at infront of her, he smacked himself mentally,
'really..so where were you guyz before', she asked, wanting to know more about his family and him,
'aaa newyork..wat a place man', he smiled remembering the awesome time he had over there with his mates, girls, parties, night outs, 'aaah..its cool, we moved coz harvard was nearer
ta this place', he reasoned and tucked his hands in his pocket,
'oh', she mumbled, ' do you wanna walk home', she suggested, liking the cool weather,
'nooo...no i'm not bothered', he started moving towards their car,
'armaaaan pleaseeeee', she requested,
he turned around, only to see her pouting cutely, noo boy dont give in, she's doin it on purpose,
'we'll cum someother time', he muttered, trying to think of an excuse, suddenly the big doctoral programme clicked in his mind, 'emmm jesus omg, i have ta sleep and get up early,
babes, we'll cum tomorrow alrite', he caught her waist and took her to the car,
'per..armaan...no..its not that late..ahh fine..you always do this', she folded her hands against her chest, while he smirked at his victory, winning once again, she always gives in to what
i say, pretty cool, he chuckled and sat inside the car, disregarding her chagrin...ok guyz i know this part was just so dumb, dont knw buh my mind seriously blanked out on this part...lol, k plz comment or criticize, i loved all them sweet and cool words of
support and appreciation, you guyz are great..!!!
