MayUr/AR FF:Undefined Relationships..Upd:pg-135 - Page 79

Part-22:

"Ahem ahem..."

And the two parted to maintain some distance for who were coming were Armaan and Ridhimma. Armaan looked handsome with the blazer...a properly dressed gentleman...just the way Mayank looked!!!And Ridhimma...as if the two sisters were blessed with beauty....she looked as gorgeous as her younger sister with the red gown and perfect curls of her hair.

R:"Mayank...are you sure?matlab...tumhein lagta hai k humein aana chahye..."She was referring to herself and Armaan. Mayank had made it clear to them that they had to come for the reunion but Ridhimma insisted on them not going since neither she herself nor Armaan had been a student of Excel!!

M:"Ridhimma....hum logo k liye ye reunion koi party nahi hai...hum wahan sirf Samrat k liye jaa rahe hain...reunion k card mein ye likha hai k apne saath ek partner ko laa sakte hain...is liye Nupur mere saath jaa rahi hai..aur raha tum dono ka sawaal...toh main ne khud ye reunion organise kia hai is liye mujhe kaafi free cards mile the....just so I can invite people...toh tum dono invited ho...aur phir main aur Nupur akele poore hallroom mein nahi dekh paayeinge...tum logo ko bhi toh dhiyaan rakhna parega na..."

A:"Mayank theek keh raha hai..But dude!!Samrat se mil kar us se baat kaise shuru karni hai...I mean...wo toh Pari ka naam sunte hi..."

M:"Armaan...Samrat bas ek baar mil jaye aur meri bas usse ek mulaqat ho jaye!!!"

Armaan smiled encouragingly and the four headed towards Excel.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The atmosphere at Excel was just so enthusiastic and undeniably beautiful...old mates met....friends hugged and met each other with the same old touch and shared some laughs in the place where they had spent so much of time with each other. When Mayank met a few of his ex-classmates, he told them he was looking for Samrat...the more people knew about that one person...the better and easier it was see him...

The couples were asked to move to the dance floor to dance on the tunes of salsa. Armaan insisted on Ridhimma accompanying him to the dance floor as it was just a refreshing memory for them...Ridhimma still remembered how Armaan had arranged a surprise birthday party for her, during the days of their internship, and the salsa when for the first time Ridhimma stared directly into his eyes to see his feelings for her. Ridhimma was reluctant to go when Armaan made a sulky face....on the dance floor reliving the moments of the past....a past passed 5 years ago....the dance was just as perfect as it had been for the first time...and as it ended, it only brought the two more closer...a few moments after it, as the two stood at a side, Armaan started:"So?"

R:"Soooo??"

A:"Maza aaya?puraani yaadein..."

R:"Haan...puraani yaadein...come on...ab ye sab puraani baatein hain...I don't think tumhein koi farak pada hoga is dance se...its just a normal dance.."

Ridhimma said it on purpose just to know Armaan's feelings. As for her, this was the most cherished moment of her life.

Armaan smiled:"Pata hai...us pehle dance ne mere dil ko ye ehsaas dia tha k things are different when you are around....us din tum itni achi lag rahi thi....Nupur k filmy style mein kahoon toh...waqt tham gaya tha..."

Ridhimma teased:"Acha?Aur aaj?"

Armaan took two steps to get closer to her and Ridhimma actually felt the time had stopped. He came closer to her ears and said in that killing soft voice which, even after years, didnot fail to make Ridhimma's mind go crazy:"Aaj??aaj toh jaise...jaise meri saans tham gayi ho..."

Ridhimma looked at him holding her breath. She couldnot explain how happy she was to have Armaan back in her life. He and he alone meant the world to her.
