If you love someone you would be willing to give up everything for them, but if they loved you back theyd never ask you to.
Flashback
"Really?" she asked me.
"Really" I said. Because Darling the game has just begun...

Armaan's POV
"So Riddhima, are you ready for this?" I asked her.
"For what, Armaan?" she asked me, while raising her eyebrows.
"That you'll be staying with me in my house" I said.
"WHAT?!" she exclaimed.
"Didn't anyone tell you?" I asked her, innocently.
"Armaan, I hope that it isn't one of your pranks or jokes, if yes then 'HA HA' very funny" she said.
"You think that I'll play a prank on you or even joke with you, Oh please I love my life dearly" I said, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Hmm? so what can you do to make me believe this?" she asked me.
"Hmmm..." I pretended to think.
"Ok, let's go and ask sir, itself" I said.
"Sure" she replied, and I let her out of the cabin, towards Sir's cabin. I knocked on the door, and heard a 'come in'.
"Ahh, Mr. Malik, what made you come over here?" he asked me, politely.
"Two faced moron" I muttered under my breath. In front of Riddhima he is acting like we share a great bond!
"Sir, I just want you to tell Miss Gupta that, she has to live with me in my house so that she is safe, wherever she go".
"Yes, Miss Gupta you'll have to stay with him, so that all the time you are under his eye" he said firmly.
I looked at her, her eyes looked as if they were ready to pop out from their sockets!

Riddhima's POV
"But, I have my own house and family! Why will I even stay with him?" I asked him.
"Ma'am why don't you understand? it is under security reasons" he said, and after some more arguing I finally agreed to it.
While returning back to Armaan's cabin I asked him, "Armaan does my family know this?" I asked him.
"Yes they do" he repiled.
"But, Armaan then they should all be under protection, shouldn't they be? I mean it's not me only whose life is in danger, the whole family is!" I said.
He turned to me, and bent low, so that he was on eye-level with me and said, "Riddhima, they are guarded by our own agents, but you are far more endangered than them, so that is why you need a SA" he said softly.
His warm breath washed my cheek and I closed my eyes, and felt the warmth on my skin. Suddenly I was shook out of my trance, when Armaan snapped his fingers infront of my face.
"Riddhima are you there?" he asked me.
"Oh, I am sorry I just uhh.. started day-dreaming" I lied smoothly. Ok wait a minute, since when did I started to say smooth white lies?
"Ok, anyways come on let's go to your house, you pack your clothes, and then we'll got to my house, ok?" he asked me.
"Hhh? Sure." I said.
I reached home and Armaan sat down in the living room with dad, and I went upstairs to my room, and started packing my clothes, while packing my clothes I saw a photo of me Anjali di and Akanksha di.
Tears filled up my eyes, I packed that photo too, and all other essentials. Then there was a soft knock on the door, and Anjali di came in.
"Ridzi, I just wanted to meet you before you go from here" she said, and I saw that her eyes were red, I ran and hugged her tightly to my chest, and bawled my eyes out.
"Di, I'll miss you" I said.
"I'll miss you too, dear" she said, and kissed my hair.

Armaan's POV
I knocked Riddhima's door softly, after some time the door was opened by her, and I saw that her eyes were puffy and red.
Feeling a bit guilty, as I was sure that I had interrupted their goodbye, I hung my head low.
"What happened Armaan?" she asked me, her voice came out cracked.
"I just came to tell you that we are getting late, Riddhima" I said.
"Ok, you go down, I'll come in five minutes, ok?" she asked me. I slightly nodded my head, and went downstairs.
After five minutes she came down with two heavy looking bags, and she had changed her clothes too. She had discarded her skirt and shirt and instead was wearing a beautiful peacock green anarkali.
I made a mental note to myself, to tell her that she looks better in Indian dresses than in western. She bade a teary farewell to her family and followed me, to my car.
She dumped her bags on the back seat, and sat with me in the passenger seat. All through the journey she just looked out of the window.
We reached my home, and I stopped my car infront of the gate, and turned towards he and said.
"Riddhima, I have to tell you something, it's very important" she turned toward me and nodded her head, an indication telling me that I should go on.
I let out a heavy sigh and said, "Look Riddhima I have a family in there. You'll have to act like you are my wife, as I have told mom about that we'll never discuss about this mission, as I have told mom that I am a doctor." I said it all in a rush.
"WHAT?!" she screamed.
