SR FF (To those eyes i kneel)update dec 21 pg15 - Page 11

Riddhima sighed and slowly let her arms fall to allow Sid out of her grasp. Sid smiled at seeing the disappointment in Riddhima's face and kissed her cheek before rushing out.

Sid was sitting in the center of the room with the seat beside him empty, and waiting for Riddhima to come down. The commotion of the room seemed distant and the view before him a blur as Sid only sought one sight. Riddhima.

Anjali came over to Sid and called his name repeatedly to get his attention but his eyes only bore to the top of the staircase. Finally fed up Anjali punched him and Sid broke ot of his trance.

"Oww! Tum Gupe girls ki yeh khandani problem hai, har waqt marte rehte ho"-Sid rubbing his shoulder

"It's your fault for not paying attention. Anyways just came to show you Riddhima's ring"-Anjali

Anjali pulled out a ring box and handed it to Sid. Sid opened the box and felt his heart sink a little.

Sid

The ring is beautiful. But for some reason it just…just doesn't seem made for Riddhima. But maybe…maybe it just me

"It's beautiful"-Sid smiling and placing the ring back in Anjali hand

All of a sudden he felt an unexplainable pull as he drew he eyes towards the top of the staircase and finally found what his eyes had been searching for. He felt his breath stop but his heart speed up as Riddhima walked down the stairs. She looked like a dream, but a dream that could breathe. She was wearing a red lehenga and only simple jewelry yet every eye in the room was glued to hers. Riddhima on the other hand only looked at Sid.

Ridz

He looks…like a dream, my dream. Sid I owe everything to you, my smile, my heart, my life and every moment and every breath. This moment of happiness and the ones to come, I owe to you Sid

As Riddhima walked towards him, the shyness within grew, but she didn't dare break away from his stare. Riddhima gracefully took the seat beside him and as she did she battled the desire to kiss him as she recalled their last kiss. She tried to control herself by peeling her eyes off him and focusing on taking deep breaths. Sid smiled teasingly as he slowly moved his hand and placed it on hers. She turned to him and glared at him, but he just smiled michiefly.

"Sid! Take your hand of mine, someone might notice"-Riddhima whispered as she tried to take her hand away from his, but he merely wouldn't let go

"You must really love me…I can see the effect I have on you"-Sid chuckled

Riddhima turned pink and looked away.

Anjali finally announced it was time for the ring ceremony.

Sid took out the ring and hid his slight disappointment behind a sigh. He turned towards Riddhima and suddenly found himself locked in a trance. He forgot everything and everyone as if no one existed but the one person that was before him. That one girl that made life worth living.

He took her hand into his and as he placed the ring on her finger. As he did, Riddhima let out a breath as she finally realized that she was his and he was hers. She placed a silver band on his finger to claim him.

The both of them looked at one another to vow themselves to one another.

The room broke into a loud applause breaking the couple out of their trance. Riddhima looked at the ring for the first time and smiled.

After the ceremony the guest had crowded the couple and wouldn't give them a minute alone. Anjali made sure that Sid didn't get a single moment alone with Riddhima as it was tradition. Plus she enjoyed the tortured look that Sid gave her as he walked away after the whole ceremony was over. The next day was also and haldi function and he wasn't invited, but he would let tradition get in the way of meeting Riddhima

Riddhima now lay on her bed fully awake and staring at her ring.

Ridz

It might not be the ring I picture, but it definitely is the man I dreamt about.

Riddhima continuously stared at the picture of Sid. It was one she took of him on the bus with her cell, when he was sleeping. She loved the way that he looked when he was sleeping and wondered what he saw behind those closed eyes. She didn't take notice to a shawdow appearing across her window's ledge.

Sid threw his leg over Riddhima's ledge and breathed in relief as he made it without falling. He looked down and quickly grabbed the railing at the sight of the ground that now seemed so far down. He pushed the curtains as side and his eyes immediately fell on Riddhima. Only a lamp on the side table was lit. However the silver moonlight lit the room. Sid watched the way Riddhima hair had a silver shine and her face seemed to have sterling radiance to it.

"God! She looks beautiful"-Sid whispered to himself before bracing himself to go in

Sid walked quietly walked behind her and he noticed her engrossed in something. Riddhima continued to stare at Sid's picture, but something in the reflection of the screen caught her attention. She thought she saw Sid's reflection on the screen and quickly turned. But her eyes lowered in disappointment as there was no one.

But as soon as she turned back she saw Sid lying down on the bed looking at her phone. She took a moment to acknowledge the way the corner of his lips turned up a little, making him even more irresistible.

"So this was what or should I say who you were lost in"-Sid grinning

Riddhima felt her temperature rising, but fought the urge to run into the bathroom and hide.

Riddhima attempts to grab the phone from and Sid grabs her arm pulling her down onto the bed. She falls onto him with her head on his chest and he could feel her breath quicken on his chest. Riddhima gently lifts her head and finds her lips almost touching Sid's.

"Jab mein khud tumhare pass hoon toh photo ki kya zarorat hai"-Sid

Sid tucks a strand of hair behind Riddhima's ear and gently strokes her cheek. Riddhima forgets everything but the face in front of her and the feel of his gentle touch. She slowly raises her own hand and places it on Sid's lips. She bent down and lightly kisses him. Sid wraps her arms around her as she moves her head to place it back on his chest.

"I only need a photo when you aren't here"-Riddhima

"Then I never want you to need a photo"-Sid

Sid sighs before lifting her up off him and getting up from the bed. Riddhima disappointed, pouts and stares at him.

"Come on get up! We have to go"-Sid pulling Riddhima's arms to get her going, but she pulled back

"Go where?"-Ridddhima even more confused

Sid just lifts her up in his arms, ignoring the hitting.

"You know ladke aur ladki ko raat mein nahi milna chahiye"-Riddhima

"It's exactly 12. A new day, perfect for a new beginning."-Sid putting her down on the balcony

"What are you talking about? And how am I suppose to get down? And I am still in my pjs!!!!"-Riddhima screaming

Sid placed his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming and with the other hand pulled her even closer.

"You ask too many questions"-Sid

The two of them stood entwined in each other, bathing in the soft silver moonlight. Sid tenderly removed his hand from Riddhima's mouth and delicately took her into his embrace. Riddhims felt her heart quicken at his touch…hell just my his glance she felt her heart quicken.

Sid kissed her and she kissed him back with the same intensity yet at the same time it felt serene. When they broke, Sid smiled at pointed at the drain pipe.

"That's how you are going to get down"-Sid
