Recap :
Riddhima woke up and finds Armaan sleeping beside her. At first she was mad at him, but she resolved her problems with Armaan and they were happily building a new bond of friendship when someone impatiently knocked on the door.
~ x.X.x ~
" I'll check who's there." Armaan said as he stood up and opened the door.
Someone quickly pushed the door with so much force, but Armaan had already moved a few steps away from it before it could hit him. To his surprise his mouth was hanging open in awe at the figure which emerged out of the door. He could only see her back right now as she had already taken the seat beside Riddhima. That girl had a beautiful tanned body with the perfect curves and brown shoulder-length hair. She was no less than an Egyptian Goddess.
Who is this girl? She is definitely hot I swear. What an attitude she carries with her too yaar! The way she slammed open the door at my face. Wow...
" Di !!!" Riddhima quickly said in delight as she leaned up to give her a hug.
" My god Riddhima! Do you have any idea how worried mom and I were about you? You totally scared the hell out of us!"
A few minutes later Dr. Abhi too entered the room joining them. He was delighted to see Anjali and quickly gave her a welcome hug.
" Hey Anji ! What a pleasant surprise !"
" Thanks for everything Abhi! Now where are her case files, anything serious? I want to know EVERYTHING." Anjali demanded and there was no way Abhi could hide anything from her.
" Sure Anji, just follow me and I'll show you around." He signaled her as they required privacy to discuss about something.
" Alright! Ridzi I'll talk to you later."
Abhi stepped out of the room and Anjali followed him. All this time that she was in the room, she did not even bother to look at Armaan. She did not even know he existed there at that time!
...This hot stuff didn't notice ME?! ARMAAN MALIK? The heart of any girl out there. You have got to be kidding! Oh and this girl is Miss Perfect's sister?! I do NOT see the resemblance... This can't be possible..Wow I mean Miss Perfect is like the oh-so-not-into-looks and this 'Anji' girl knows what's in and out just by the way she carries herself.. Anyway, why should I care? But the weirdest part is that she wants to become a doctor? This girl is totally unique I swear.
" ARMAAN!!!!" Riddhima finally screamed after her futile attempts to bring him back to reality.
Armaan jerked when he finally heard her screaming. He quickly took a few steps forward and sat next to her chair.
" Miss, this girl...Is she 'really' your sister?"
" Uhm...Yeah... Why wouldn't she be ?" she questioned.
" It's just hard to digest. You...I mean you are like so conservative...But then she...Is like...Ho.. I mean-..."
Uff Armaan.. You don't even have the right words to describe her. You can't just call her hot and sexy...
" I meant she's like a Godess."
Riddhima smiled as she noticed how hard he tried to get his words correct so that they wouldn't have been the least bit offending. He immediately noticed her smile and was lost at the sight. How he wished he could hold her in his arms and never let go, to feel her soft and smooth lips against his... To just have her with him always.
" Yeah I know. Everyone says that. But is that a bad thing that we are so different?..."
She pouted and Armaan quickly figured by her expressions that she wanted to know if he considered her anything close to Anji. She wanted to know if it was a bad thing to be conservative. From all her past experiences, the reality was that guys would immediately choose the 'hot and sexy' type girls over the 'plain janes'. It had always been that way for her. Anji was always the centre of attention no matter where she went and guys died to be with her.
Armaan stood up and sat on her bed this time, closing as much distance he could between them. He placed his hand on her cheek, the very touch of his skin against hers was enough to send chills down her spine. She quickly closed her eyes, not wanting to show him how vulnerable she was at his touch. Armaan smirked as he saw just how she tried so hard to hide her feelings. He started carressing her cheek but then stopped just a second afterwards. He didn't want to get physical with her after what she had been through, it wouldn't be right so he quickly replaced her cheek with her good hand instead, holding it firmly.
" Riddhima."
Just the way he said her name made her feel so good and happy as though all her troubles were washed away. She opened her eyes to stare into his ; completely lost as always.
" I won't lie. But .. Guys like me dig hot girls just because they are easy to get. Trust me, do you really think guys always 'love' the girls they are with? Mostly, guys with such girls are just using them for...You know what. It's all lust. On the other hand, girls like you are so hard to get. Because somewhere around the corner you value your traditions and you know all your limits I'm sure. You would never go beyond them and that is why guys may not hook up with your type of girls... But that doesn't mean that you are not blessed with beauty. Riddhima, I wouldn't even dare call you hot or sexy because those words are not meant for you. They just feel wrong. You are 'BEAUTIFUL' and I cannot emphasize that more. I mean... Those hot girls out there often dump make-up onto their faces making them look oh-so-plasticly-perfect, but you are SO gorgeous even without make-up. You are -"
Riddhima had enough with this topic so she placed her finger on his lips. She could feel his smooth lips against her delicate skin. She was just as intoxicated as he was by her sudden action. Armaan was with so many girls before, but with Riddhima, just having her to touch him is nothing compared to anything in the past. He adored this feeling, he loved getting so lost and dreamy when he was with her.
Whoever said you need to take drugs to get high is probably never experienced love. Wait what? LOVE? Armaaaan...Love?! L..O...V...E...L-O-V-E?! No ways dude.
He quickly looked at his watch trying to get away from her intense eyes as he made an excuse-
" I need to go! I have a very important thing to do at school! I'll see you later!" he quickly ran away.
What is it with him... First he hurts me, then the next moment he regrets and tried so hard to make me forgive him... Then we're like talking freely and now suddenly he storms out of the room weirdly? I just don't get him.

" Anji here are the X-rays. You can see that it's only a minor fracture...It's OK, nothing serious to worry about." Abhi handed over the X-ray reports to Anjali.
" Thanks Abhi." She scanned them throroughly.
" It's so good to see you here after like 2 years!" as he remembered his old days with Anjali.
Abhi was always like an elder brother and a teacher. In the medical college he would always help her and protect her from any problems. However, when he graduated, he had to move and settle here for his internship. Those were the good old days.
" Yes Abhi, we used to have so much fun and all... I still miss all that!" she smiled as flashbacks too occupied her mind.
" I'm so glad that you told me Riddhima is in this hospital or else she wouldn't even let me know. This girl really needs to get a grip!"
" Yeah Anji, I figured out she was Riddhima as I had seen her a couple of times in the past with you and well your surnames are the same so I decided to inform you."
" Well you did a good thing. I was coming over here in a week anyway but it's fine..."
" Anji.. There is something else you should know about Riddhima." he lowered his tone and was more serious now.
" What is it?" she quickly asked.
" The fracture might be an accident, but the bruises on her skin tell me a whole new story. I don't think it was an 'accident'... I tried asking her but she wouldn't tell me. I think you should talk to her yourself as she'd be more comfortable in telling you." he stated.
" You are right. There are already so many things she wanted to tell me about and now it's high time I talk to her and sort everything out. She's been here for a week already and so many problems managed to occur. But not anymore. As long as I'm with Riddhima, nothing can harm her. And I'll make sure if someone has done something wrong to Riddhima, I know just what to do to take revenge."
Anjali was definitely not as nice and kind-hearted as Riddhima. She knew life is very hard and you can't just suppress down. She was just the type of girl 'beauty with brains'.
" Haha Anji, you're still the same! Guys should beware now since you are here."
" Of course! And remember I won't even spare you if you take advantage of a girl or something around that! Not that you'll do such a thing..."
" I won't yaar. Anyway, good news. Riddhima can be discharged today and she can resume her teaching tomorrow!"
" Awe-some-ness."
Cambridge Highschool! Here I come. Now let's see what's in store for the future. But one thing is for sure, whoever did this to Riddhima will pay for it. I am Anji and I do NOT spare anyone ; especially ones who try to harm my lil sis.
