A Perfect Encounter? | AR | IMPORTANT NOTE PG25 - Page 2

As the night had passed by, Armaan and Ridhima learned lots about each other. Armaan's favourite colour was "sauce wala red"; he loved boxing and had a very intense passion for motorcycles. Ridhima on the other hand loved to read, spend time with her family, and loved to paint. Armaan was more on the wild side, as Ridhima was on the soft side.

I'm so glad Keerti ma'am chose me to attend this medical conference, said Armaan to himself. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here. Ouf, so sad that it's only a two day medical conference, this day is done and now only one more remains! Hmm... I wonder if she's single? Probably, maybe I should ask her, or wait, is it too soon to ask? Wait, maybe not yet. Perhaps later? Yes, later would be better.

"... tumhe kya lagta hai? Armaan.... Armaan! What are you thinking about? I've been talking for ages, yet you haven't said a word! Kya hua?" asked a nervous Ridhima

"Kuch nahin Ridhima. I was just thinking... but don't worry about it. You know what, I'm glad I met you here, or I would've been really bored!"

"Hahaha, awh Armaan. I'm glad too. By the way, what hospital are you representing?"

"Oh, I'm from-" but before Armaan could finish, they were interrupted by the waiter.

"Sir, Ma'am, the dining hall is about to close up, everyone is heading back to their rooms."

"Thank you, we'll be on our way." said Ridhima as she picked up her bags, and belongings, as did Armaan.

"Where do you want to go now?" asked Armaan

"Aur kahaan Armaan? Our rooms obviously!"

"Oh well, I really didn't want to head back yet, as I'm not so sleepy. Would you like me to drop you off to your room? Maybe I should. You shouldn't be heading all alone..."

"Don't worry Armaan, I can go."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Armaan, just chill na? I'll call up Aditya, he'll be waiting for me anyways."

Aditya? Who is this Aditya? Could it possibly be her brother? Maybe, well I should just ask her. Wait no, that's not too subtle, she could get offended...just let it go Armaan! It could be her collegue! Jeez. Chill Armaan, chill!

"Arrey Armaan, what is this? Stop thinking so much. Anyways, I'll see you later perhaps; I've got to get to my room now. Bye!"

"Good night Ridhima, sweet dreams." said Armaan.

And so the night ended. Armaan and Ridhima headed towards their respective bedrooms. Armaan thought of his good fate that he been so lucky to bump into Ridhima, and become such good friends. She's so beautiful, so amazing. She's inspiring; she's a breath of fresh air! Oye hoye, yeh kya hogaya Armaan? This girl has got me going crazy. I never thought I'd be thinking this way, this woman is just pure magical! But I wonder... who is this Aditya that Ridhima had mentioned? Who could he be? Maybe I'm just looking into this a bit too much. Over-analyzing the situation perhaps? It's okay Armaan, find out tomorrow. Still one more day, 24 hours!

It's a new morning, with the sun shining, the birds chirping. Exactly the type of day Armaan and Ridhima both loved. A day filled with new adventures, new mysteries to be solved, new people to meet and biggest of all, another day to spend with Ridhima. Oye hoye. Ridhima...

Just thinking of Ridhima made Armaan smile. She was the type of girl that could brighten up anyone's day. Her beautiful smile, her angelic laughter, he soft yet seductive voice... it was everything and more that attracted Armaan to Ridhima even more! But there was one thing wrong in this picture... who on Earth is Aditya? Armaan was still not over that. He tossed and turned all night trying to figure out who this Aditya character was. Could he possibly pose a threat in this flaming love of Armaan's? Only time could tell.

"Maybe I should call Ridhima and ask her if she wants to go out for breakfast! Now, where's my phone? *searching through his contacts list* Are yaar. What is this, I forgot to take Ridhima's number! So smart Armaan. Poori raat uske saath beta raha, aur uska number bhi nahin poocha? Smooth Armaan, smooth!"

Armaan was confused as a little puppy. He didn't know what to do! Even after all this time, he hadn't even thought of asking Ridhima for her number. Now what could he possibly do? * After a moments of thinking*

"Idea! I'll go to the front desk, the receptionist, and ask her if she has Ridhima's room number! Then I'll give her a surprise, pick her up and we'll have breakfast! Oye hoye, perfect idea Armaan. You're a genius" he said complimenting himself.

And so Armaan headed down to the ground floor, and found the receptionist.

"Excuse me ma'am, could you possibly give me Ridhima Gupta's room number? I have some urgent work to be dealt with."

"Yes sure, Mr..."

"Mr. Armaan Maalik,"

"Ah yes. Alright here we are, Ms. Ridhima Gupta. Room 420."

"Yes! I mean, er ' uhm, thank you! That was very kind of you."

"You're welcome sir, if you need anything else, do contact the customer service."

"Thank you."

And with that, Armaan headed up to visit Ridhima on the 4^th floor. I'm coming Ridhima. Today it will be just you and me! Thought Armaan with a huge grin on his face, and naughtiness in his eyes. It will be just us today. We can spend a day, and get to know each other better. Maybe I could even express my feelings to her! Ah. Now I really can't wait to see her. I wonder what her reaction will be when she sees me. Will she be shocked? No wait, she'll be amazed that I was so thoughtful! Haha. Good one Armaan. Time will tell...
