*|Riddhima Armaan Mallik's Favourite Pastime|*
It was the end of yet another long hectic day at the hospital. Riddhima had just reached home and was exhausted. She threw her bag on the couch and slumped down on it herself. Resting her head back on the headrest she closed her eyes.
TRIIINNNGGGGGGGG, TRIIINNGGGGGG.
Riddhima woke up with a start hearing the phone ring. She looked up at the clock..7.30 pm!..OH Shit!! she had dozed off for half an hour. Jumping up from the couch she lunged at her ringing phone on the table.
Riddhima: Hello
Armaan: Hello Baby
Riddhima: Hiiii!!! ..(Her face lights up hearing his voice and she suddenly does not feel as tired as she felt before)
Armaan: Hey, U reached home??
Riddhima: NO.. I've not reached home yet. I answered our house phone from a PCO. Hehe. Stupid!!!. Ofcourse I reached home, How else would I answer the phone???
Armaan: Oh God!! Basket and her sense of humour. Spare me please.
Riddhima: Armaaaan.!! You..!
Armaan: Ok Ok baba. Acha tell me. Wat u doing?
Riddhima: Nothing. I just reached home and I was sooooo tired. And I sat on the couch and you won't believe it, I actually fell asleep for half an hour. And then you called and I woke up. And now I'm talking to you.
Armaan: (Smiles at how kiddish and baby like she sounded) AWWWW. My poor baby basket. You had a hectic day na.???
Riddhima: Hmmmm..when are u coming home???
Armaan: Ya. That's wat I called to say. My surgery got postponed. I'll be late. Will reach home by 10.00 pm. So don't wait for me for dinner. You please have it on time. You are already so tired. I don't want you to stay hungry. I'll come and have. Ok???
Riddhima: No. Not ok. You know I won't have dinner without you. So don't waste your time asking me to have it. But don't worry I'll have some snacks till then. So I won't stay hungry, Happy??. But You come home fast na. Pleeeessshhhh. I have'nt met you properly the whole day.
Armaan: I know. I really want to come home fast too. Miss you so much. But what can I do, this surgery has to happen today. You know what I'll do. How about I come home and give you one of my special massages to relieve you of all your tiredness and pain. Wat say baby??
Riddhima: Hmmmmm!! Let me think..Okay.. It's a deal. I'll forgive you for coming late and not spending time with me if you give me a massage.
Armaan: HA!!. Okaayyy.. Your majesty! I'm honoured by your consideration. Thank you thank you..(In an over dramatic way)
Riddhima: Nautanki!!!
Armaan: Look who's talking??/ hehe. Anyway. I've got to go now basket. Bye. Miss you, Love you,,,MUAHHHH
Ridhdima: Love you too. Come home fast. I'll be waiting. Muahhh !..Bye!
She sighed with a smile playing on her lips as she kept the phone. He was such a dramebaz. But he was HER DRAMEBAZ. And she loved him so much..and missed him so much.
She looked up at the clock again. She had more than 2 hrs till he came back. She got up and lazily walked up to her room to freshen up. After taking a long warm shower and changing into her night suit she came down to the kitchen to cook dinner. Too bored to cook anything elaborate she made a pulao and raita and kept it in the microwave so that she could heat it up later. Then she made herself a sandwich and walked up to the TV room. Riddhima randomly browsed through the various channels but found nothing interesting to watch. Super bored she switched off the TV and looked around trying to find something to read or do. That's when her eyes fell on the DVD shelf and she got up having decided what she wanted to do for the next 1 hr. She went and picked up her favorite DVD' Something she had watched maybe a 100 times in the last 1 month but never got tired of it'..
Riddhima puts in the DVD into the player and presses the play button. She sits down cross legged on the floor resting her back on the sofa waiting for the video to start.
The video starts:
A&R Productions presents'
A story about anger''.(a woman is shown running towards the camera in rage with a chappal in hand)
Hatred''(a man and woman are having a heated argument)
Revenge'..(two women are beating up a man )
Fun'''...(many people are dancing in some function)
And Most Importantly a story about LOVE'''.( a beautiful couple is shown smiling at each other and looking completely in love)
Come join us in the journey to the wedding of the century'.
ARMAAN WEDS RIDDHIMA
Behind the scenes'''
Riddhima couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this. Even though she had seen the video a hundred times every time she saw these opening credits she couldn't help but guffaw at the lameness of her friends. (She couldn't thank them enough for it though)' The whole thing had been Atul and Rahul's idea' Hence they named it Atul&Rahul Productions or A&R productions in short. Both of them had come up with what they thought was an ingenious idea, to shoot the behind the scenes events in the wedding. Everyone have a video of their wedding celebrations but the real fun and masti happens not during the celebration but behind the scenes'. Like last minute mishaps, the getting ready part. the tension, things going wrong, the preparations etc etc Atul and Rahul had equipped themselves with a handicam and had gone about capturing all such moments with hilarious consequences. They had then compiled those moments and made this mini movie. It was one of the most precious gifts that she received from her friends after the wedding. This video had some of the most memorable moments of her life in them and she could never get enough of it.
Excited to relive those moments again she increased the volume and sat up ready to journey back into the adventure that was her marriage.
