Part 5
Back at the Hotel...
Upon entering their suite they were bombarded with questions
"kaha thi inte der tak? why did you take so long? Did you have fun? How far did you go? were you scared? Why are you looking so glum? is everything okay? are you hurt? did you fall off the horse?"
riddhima and armaan were simply getting frustrated. They were already confused about everything now their friends were not even giving them a chance to speak!
Armaan: BAS! GUYS SHUT UP!
atul: are no need to be so mean
armaan: acha sorry champ, woh im just really tired, not feeling to good and you guys werent letting us speak... we took so long b/c we went pretty far up the path and walked around abit. And No nobody is hurt, and we aren't glum, just exhausted.
riddhima: haan, im so tired and i don't feel good either.
Kabir: okay, you guys go freshen up then we''ll go have dinner downstairs and you guys can turn in early.
ridz: nahin kabir, i'm not hungry, you all go, i'm just going to turn in early.
armaan: haan main bhi
abhay: chup, you guys are coming and that's final. you have to eat! no ifs or buts!
ridz: lekin..
armaan: no its okay you guys go ahead, and we'll meet you in the restaurant after freshing up. okay?

after everyone leaves...
armaan: ridz i think ki we should keep what happened today a secret...kyun ki everyone will think we are crazy...maybe we should try figuring things out first...
ridz: haan, i agree lekin aj jo hua...i dont know kyun lekin ek ajeeb sa darr hai...can i ask you something? remember you said youu have dreams about your dream girl? just like me? well what exactly would you see?
armaan: woah...okay the last one i had, i was playing basketball, jab ek payal ki awaz aiye. I felt her behind me. There was this strange wind, and i turned around to see her, but when i turned the lights went out, and all i could see were her eyes....
ridz: and uski ankhein kaise thi?
armaan wasn't sure how to tell her that they were exactly like hers
armaan: woah, actually...woah bilkul tumhari jaise....
ridz: armaan, mujhe bilkul aise hi dreams aata hai...lekin uske ankhien...acha come with me...
ridz takes armaan to her room and pulls out her sketchpad from her bag. They sit down on her bed and..
ridz: yeh dekho...i've been having these types of dreams since the day i turned 18. i always draw his eyes here. aat first it'd be really hazy and fuzzy, but the picture always got clearly as time progressed... take a look at some...
Armaan uncertainly opened the sketchpad, and was shocked!
they were filled with pictures of HIS eyes!
ridz: aur haan yeh lo meri dream diary, dekho maine likha hai meri dream main kya dekha...
armaan: woh yeh kaise ho sakta hai? its as if we werent dreaming but it really happened...all of these...they are all the same as my dreams... yeh kaise ho sakta hai?
ridz: mujhe pata nahin lekin im really scared armaan, especially aj jo hua, jo humne dekha uske baad...
riddhima instinctively hugs armaan, who hugs her back
armaan: shhh its okay riddhima we'll figure it out together.
armaan rubs her back trying to calm her down, but the smell of her hair was driving him crazy...unconsciously he began nuzzling her hair, pulling her closer to him in the process...
"riddhima? armaan?"
suddenly their trance was broken when Kabir called their names.
Kabir was shocked, AR were ot just hugging, they seemed to be cuddling, armaan was nuzzling her hair...and well she was sitting in his lap...
AR realized that ridz was in armaans lap when they followed Kabir's gaze. In fact, AR themselves couldnt say when ridz had gotten onto his lap.
ka-riddhima, yaha kya horaha hai?
ridz: woah, kuch nahin, hum bas baat karethe, tum yahaa?
kabir: haan, it's been half an hour and you guys still havent come! and by the smell and looks of it you havent gotten fresh either! chalo i am giving you five minutes!
armaan: haan, kabir you go ahead and i promise 5 minutes, we will be downstairs,
kabir looks at ridz to know if that is what she wants too but she is busy staring at armaan with an unknown expression.
Kabir leaves and AR freshen up and head downstairs. The hotel restaurant the gang went to was actually outside, so they used the back entrance to walk over when an old lady wearing an all black dress with long sleeves and crazy grey hair jumps in front of them, making riddhima jump into armaan's arms.
lady: " dyaan se rehna! ab toh sirf shuru hua hai! ab jo tum ek saat ho, tum baach nahin sakta! is baar bhi wohi hoga jo pehle hua tha! dheere dheere sab yaad ayenge tum dono ko! bach ke rehna! kiski ko vishwaas mat karna ek dusre ke alava! history WILL repeat itself"
armaan: kya history? kya matlab jo pehle hua tha? aur kya yaad ayenge? what do you mean??
the lady doesnt say anything. She just smiles a wicked grin and runs off...
