OS#1 - You turn my world to such a better place
She stood there staring at the lavishly decorated mandap and her friends who looked so happy as they were going to finally be united forever. She couldn't be happier for them because she knew how amazing it felt to get married to the one you loved. It was as if the whole word revolved around that one person and he made living worthwhile. As that thought crept on her, she couldn't help but blush. She really was the luckiest girl in the world because she had found the...before she could continue her train of thought -
Sneaking up to her, he caught a hold of bare waist and seductively whispered in her ear - "Erm mere bare mein soch rahi thi na"
This deepened the smile that was already plastered on her face which made the dimple under her eye more prominent but then her face suddenly crinkled and her eyebrows furrowed as she remembered that she had vowed not to talk to him. He was a gadha, stupid, idiot, kameena, monkey. As she continued to curse him under her breath his never ending naughtiness caught onto him and he continued to come close and this time he wrapped his arms around her waist holding her protectively to himself.
Controlling the urge to lose herself in his arms again, she hardened her expressions and jerked him off.
"Dr. Malik, I don't know if you are experiencing temporary memory loss or not but I would like to remind you that main tumse baat nahin karahi so please jao yahan se."
He being his stubborn self wasn't ready to let her go so fast. After knowing his basket for so long he knew how to make her anger melt. As Riddhima tried to walk away he reached out and grabbed one thing, her duppata, which stopped Riddhima right in her tracks. Due to the fact that he was pulling on her duppata it slipped off her shoulder revealing her bare smooth shoulder. She could feel his gaze on her and she was finding it extremely hard to keep her strict exterior intact. He slowly approached her and eventually they stood face to face. He took her face into his hands and caressed it softly leaving Riddhima with no other choice but to stare at him. She gazed into his passionate eyes which were filled with nothing but longing and love. By now, Riddhima had given up on her tough act and she couldn't help but to thank God for bringing such an angel into her life. He took her duppata and put it on her head, making her look like a bride.
Then he gently whispered, "Tumhe pata hai waise toh tum hamesha khoobsurat lagti ho but on our wedding day you made me fall in love with you all over again. You looked beautiful, amazing, pretty, hot, and above all sexy," Riddhima blushed and tried to look away from his intense gaze, "Just like today."
"Armaan mujhe jaana hai," she tried to push Armaan away but forgot that he was still holding on to her duppata. She twirled around in his hold and faced him once again.
"Kyon jaana hai Riddhima" Armaan asked while grinning.
Now Riddhima decided to give him a hard time again, ""Dr. Malik bohut smart samjhete ho apne apko?"
Armaan repeated his infamous line, "Samjhata nahin BABY hoon."
Riddhima gave an irked expression while putting her hands on her hips, "Stop recycling your own lines ok. Kuch naya comeback toh socho. And while you ponder over comebacks I shall accompany everyone at the mandap. Because I think you have forgotten but we are here for Rahul and Muski's wedding."
With that Riddhima snatched her duppata smirked and ran towards the mandap sitting behind Muski. Armaan was left in a daze as Riddhima's perfume intoxicated his senses. Sighing Armaan watched Riddhima sitting next to the bride and he couldn't help but admit that she looked stunning. She was definitely stealing the spotlight; well that was the case for him.
Riddhima could still feel Armaan intently gazing at her and this thought made her cheeks turn a deep crimson and she knew he wouldn't be stopping anytime soon. She knew her hubby too well. Even though it had been a while since they got married but with Armaan, the newlywed feeling and honeymoon phase never seemed to end. Armaan never stopped loving her, he was the same romantic hubby and Riddhima felt as if God has sent him as her angel in disguise. Riddhima loved him madly and she knew she would until her last breath. She suddenly felt the urge to stare back at him. Soon their eyes met and she lost herself in those deep, blue eyes which never failed to intoxicate her. She could feel the intense passion and longing his eyes held and she felt as if she discovered something new within them everyday. He too was in the same position as her; he was losing himself in her emerald colored eyes who offered nothing but love. There was a third person who was staring at both of them, she couldn't help but admire their love and said a silent prayer for them and hoped that no evil eye would be able to break such a strong bond.
"Oye Riddhima, mereko pata hai kay tu aur Armaan eik dusre se bara loweeeee kartein hain but yaar its my wedding day thoda attention mereko bhi dede," Muskan whined, she couldn't help but pull Riddhima's leg.
"Arre main aur Armaan I mean woh toh waise hi main bus..." Riddhima was at a loss for words and she couldn't help but blush.
"Riddhima main Dr. Shashank thode hi hoon joh tu itna ghabra aur sharma rahi hai" With that Muskan started laughing which finally drew Rahul's and Anjie's attention.
"Wah Muskan, you are definitely not interested in portraying a blushing bride image huh?!" Anjie smirked.
"Sab blushing toh Riddhima karahi hai toh mujhe karne ki jaroorat hi nahin"
"Uff meri chothi behain, kitna time hogaya shaadi ko lekin she acts as if it's her wedding everyday."
"Di, please aap kuch na hi bolengi toh acha hoga"
Armaan who had been observing and listening to the nok jhok decided to interrupt because as much he enjoyed seeing Riddhima annoyed he preferred to be the one teasing her instead of his gang. He made up his mind to take matters into his own hands.
"Hey guys, yahan kya chal raha hai?"
"Lo agaya tera hubby dearest to save you"
"Yo Anjie tu kya 24/7 Riddhima ke peeche padi rehti hai"
"Darling I don't have to be after her because you do that job quite well yourself"
As soon as Anjie said that a slight blush crept on to Armaan's and Riddhima's cheeks and they decided that it was safer to just change the topic altogether.
"Muski teri mehndi ka color kitna dark hai na you know what that means?" Riddhima decided it was time for her to tease Muski so she nudged Muski so that she bumped into Rahul.
"Oh haan iska matlab toh yeh hai na Rahoooooool Muski ko BOHUT lurrrrrrrrrrrrve karta hai na, Haina Riddhima"
"Oh yeh chaanga hai when Anjie stopped pulling your leg, you both started picking on us two" Rahul said with a slight hint of irritation
"Arre tum dunno ko tease nahin karein gaye toh kisko karein gaye; you two are the couple of the hour" Armaan said grinning cheesily at Rahul.
"Haan it's a tradition to tease the bride and the groom; remember how you guys annoyed me and Armaan on our wedding"
"Exactly so now it's our turn. Time for revenge, revenge is sweet isn't it."
"Eh KOOTHEY chup karke baith revenge shevenge baad mein saath phere toh hone de" Muski had had it this time
"Oye Hoye dekho Riddhima kitni jaldi hai Muski ko shaadi karne ki; there isn't much time until you become Dr. Muskan Grewal then u guys can do what u want so chill rakh." That brought a blush to Muski and Rahul's faces
With that Armaan high-fived Riddhima and they both laughed along with Anjie at Rahul and Muskan's expense.
"You know what chadho baad mein dekh loon gyi tum dunno ko"
"Sure Muski dekh lena that is if tereko Rahul se fursat mili tab"
Armaan's comment managed to embarrass Muski but Rahul wasn't going to let him go with that and decided to chase him around the mandap.
"Waise Muski I think Rahul aur Armaan saath phere pure karke hi rookheyein gaye" Anjie tried to calm a very frustrated Muski down.
Riddhima finally got up to stop them. Armaan held on to her from the back and Rahul tried to get around Riddhima but Armaan kept twirling her around.
"Can you guys grow up and just stop right NOW"
"Riddhima main kahan kuch karaha hoon make Rahooool stop chasing me na"- Armaan pouted.
"ARMAAN stop your nautanki and please Rahul tu bheit ja na Muski bhi dekh naraz horahi hai"
Rahul decided to stop it for now since it is inappropriate for a groom to be chasing his guest around in the mandap. However Armaan had no intentions of sitting down, he encircled Riddhima's waist and rested his head on her shoulder. Needless to say it drew quite a few people's attention. Though Armaan and Riddhima were known as the most romantic and cute couple, people could never get used to Armaan's public display of affection.
Riddhima gasped as Armaan's cold fingers encircled her tiny waist. "Armaan please choddo mujhe dekho woh aunty kaise stare karahi hain, Armaan PLEASE choddo choddo"
"Basket NAHIN"
"Armaan if you leave me now I will do whatever you want later but please choddo" Riddhima was getting desperate as more and more people were focusing their attention on them.
"Anything Basket"- Armaan grinned naughtily
"YES anything Armaan but abhi choddo"
"Fine Dr. Basket Armaan Malik but be ready to bow down to Armaan Malik's wishes tonight"
"You are impossible"- "That I am" with that he kissed her on the cheek. Riddhima yanked her hand away from Armaan only to make her choodi get stuck in Armaan's Kurta.
"Dekha basket you are not meant to go"- Armaan smirked
"Uff Armaan tumhe toh mein ghar jakar dekh loongi"- Riddhima finally escaped Armaan's hold and ran to sit down next to Muski. Riddhima just blushed while looking around only to find an aunty shaking her head and making God knows what kind of faces at her. She just passed a nervous laugh and sat between Armaan and Anjie. Armaan who was already there noticed her coming over and slyly put his hand over Riddhima's and squeezed it to which Riddhima only shook her head at him and said,
"Tum kabhi nahin sudhro gaye"
"Kabhi nahin" Armaan whispered huskily in Riddhima's ear. This sent shivers down Riddhima's spine.
"Oh God phirse shuroo hogaye" Anjie drew their attention towards herself
"Anjie I know what you need, actually not what I meant WHO"
"You are right Armaan, Di ko Atul chahiye haina"
"Ridz you are not funny ok"- Anjie spoke with finality in her tone.
"Anjie Ridz isn't cracking a joke dude we honestly think someone's really missing Atul"
"Speaking of Atul, here he comes" an excited Riddhima said pointing towards the door
"Oye Champ kahan tha tu pata hai tere bina Anjie itni cranky hojati hai kay she becomes a kaanta in our romance"- Armaan complained.
Anjie slapped Armaan on his arm for his remark to which he whinced in pain.
"Di itna hard kyon mara bechare ko dard hua hoga"
"Aw mere behain ko bura laga well I don't care, Jao tumhare pati parmeshwar ko jappi dedo, sab teek hojayega"
" Waise Riddhima Anjie ne abhi akal ki baat ki, not a bad idea, dekho mera hat kitna red hogayi hai"- Armaan pouted
Riddhima gave Armaan a murderous glare and he knew he was doomed.
"Arre tum log ladhna bus karo aur mujhe bholne do"
"Inka toh laga rahe ga tu bol Atul" finally Rahul intervined.
"Yeh lo tum dunno kayliye"
"Yeh kya hai Atul" a curious Muskan asked an excited Atul
"Arre yeh hai Anjie # 18 bohut pyari hai na it's your wedding present obviously"
Everyone grinned at the name of the plant except for Anjie who at first glared at Atul and then just started blushing. Finally the priest (pandit) arrived and it was finally time to begin the rasams. While Rahul and Muskaan were seated around the holy fire, Armaan, Riddhima, Atul, Anjie were standing around them and just happy to be witnessing union of two true lovers forever in a sacred bond. Riddhima couldn't help but think of her wedding at this moment. She remembered how Armaan was awestruck seeing her come descend the stairs in her lavish red lengha and couldn't even get one word out. He just kept staring at her dumbstruck by her ethereal beauty wondering what good he had done to deserve an angel like her and she finally had to hit him on the arm to snap him out of it. It made her smile when she thought of how he had noticed how nervous she was and therefore held her hand in order to assure her that he will always be there for her no matter what. His action at that moment was enough to tell her that Armaan was hers and no one in the world could change anything. She blushed remembering how he whispered "I love you" just before the priest started all the rasams. While Riddhima was reliving the old memories, Armaan noticed that permanent smile plastered across her beautiful face and that dazed look. He knew what she was thinking about and couldn't help but relive those moments as well.
Finally the priest asked Armaan and Riddhima to tie the knot for Rahul and Muskan so that they could do their pheras. Muskan had especially asked them to this for her because she hadn't witnessed a love and bond so pure and strong like theirs. Armaan and Riddhima were the essence of love and she was blessed to have friends like them. Armaan and Riddhima happily agreed, in fact it was an honor for them to do so. Soon Rahul and Muskan were ready to do the pheras. While they were encircling the holy fire, Riddhima started remembering all the promises she and Armaan made to each other during their pheras and she felt blessed since Armaan had acted upon his promises like an ideal husband. The thought made Riddhima teary eyed and this didn't go unnoticed by Armaan. However instead of saying something he simply held on to her hand, squeezed it (making her turn around to face him) and simply mouthed "I love you" and in response Riddhima chose to nod and gave his hand a squeeze in return.
After the pheras were over, everyone congratulated the newly weds. Eventually it was time for the bride and groom to leave and the ceremony slowly came to an end.
"Ay Muski, you know na that agar iss Rahoool ne tereko kissi bhi tarah tang kiya toh you can tell me. I can beat him up for you anytime babe"
"Armaan, teri zaroorat nahin yeh khud hi enough maarti hai mujhe"
Rahul's remark lightened up the mood which had grown solemn because Muskan was after all leaving her parents' house.
"Tum log abhi bhi joke karahe ho"
"Riddhima joke isliye kiya to lighten up the mood though we know tu roona prefer karti hai" Anjali didn't let the opportunity to tease her pass up.
"Oye Anjie let's concentrate on Rahul and Muski please" Armaan tried to stop Anjali from picking on Riddhima any further. This brought a smile to Riddhima's face.
"Muski and Rahul you guys know na that you both can come to me if you need anything I am always here for you two."
"We are always here for you two" Armaan interrupted while placing his hands on Riddhima's shoulders. Riddhima covered his hand with hers. Finally all of them hugged Rahul and Muskan good bye. After they had bid Rahul and Muskan bye Armaan, Riddhima, Anjali and Atul too decided to leave to their respective houses.
"That was a nice ceremony na"
"Mm yeh Muskan aur Rahul looked really happy"
"Well they are in lowwwwwwwwe Dr. Basket toh happy toh hongaye hi na"
"Armaan"
"Basket"
"Ok jaldi drive karo I wanna go home and sleep I am so tired"
"OH NO WAY" He suddenly put on the breaks. The car skidded to a stop and Riddhima fell forward.
"ARMAAN kya kar rahe ho gari chalao you are in the middle of the road"
"Basket this is not fair"
"Armaan GARI CHALAO"
"Pehle meri baat suno"
"Nahin pehle gari chalao"
"Nahin pehle baat"
"Fine I am leaving". Riddhima opened the door.
"WHAT"
With that Riddhima exited the car and started walking on the side of the road. Armaan knew his basket was stubborn but he was no less. Armaan started following her with his car and tried his best to get her to come back.
"Riddhima, Basket..."
"Soniyo"
"Dr. Basket Malik"
"OYE GABBAR gari mein wapis aao"
"TUMNE MUJHE GABBAR BOOLYA"- Riddhima seethed with anger
"Basket main kya karoon you are not listening to me yaar"
"Because you deserve it you idiot, stupid, monkey, GO AWAY JAO"
"You know tum bohut cute lagti ho jab mujhe galiyaan deti ho but PLEASE car mein bheith ke do"
"NOPE I am not coming with you anymore"
"Arre itni raat ko do you plan on walking home"
"HAAN" With that she folded her arms across her chest and continued to walk straight ahead. Suddenly Riddhima spotted a few goons coming from the opposite side and she knew if she continued to walk towards them, it won't be safe. Therefore she had no choice but to sit back in the car with Armaan. Armaan had seen the guys coming and guessed why she decided to finally listen to him but he pretended to be oblivious because he didn't want to irritate her anymore than he already had. He just stared at her while she seated herself comfortably in the car.
"Erm dekhte raho gaye ya drive bhi karo gaye"
"Basket and attitude..." he leaned over and whispered in her ear "So sexy"
This managed to make Riddhima blush and shut her up too for the rest of the ride. Riddhima looked out the window and stared at the stars blushing. Soon they were home, their home. Riddhima rushed to their room so that she could take over the bathroom before her hubby dearest. Armaan just shook his head and entered the kitchen to munch on something until his Basket comes out. Armaan had munched and soon he decided to go in to the room as well because Riddhima didn't seem to have any plans of coming out anytime today. He entered the room to see the most beautiful sight ever. Riddhima had just come out of the shower with her hair all wet and curly. A few wet strands sticking to her cheeks and forehead. She had worn her favorite bathrobe, blue one with a silk ribbon around her waist. Armaan stood where he was, motionless because he knew if he would go any further he would lose himself and nothing would be able to stop him. Riddhima didn't realize that Armaan had come and she just continued to do her daily post-shower routine. First she put on lotion on her legs and then she moved on to her arms. Lastly she loosened her robe in order to apply some on her shoulders and her back. Armaan who had be lustly watching her till now couldn't stop himself from approaching her anymore. He slowly crept on her and gently took the lotion from her hands and gestured towards her that he will do it for her. She, at first, looked at him surprised but then just looked away because she couldn't get herself to look at those passionate eyes of his. He sensually removed her bathrobe so that it revealed more of her shoulders and cleavage. He motioned to Riddhima to lie on her back and she looked at arm dumbfounded but this was her Armaan he never failed to amaze her. Riddhima already was having a hard time breathing; he poured some of the lotion on to his hands and put it on her soft skin. He sensually caressed and massaged her shoulders. He started at the top and ever so gently made his way to her lower back which made it harder for Riddhima to resist his passionate touch. He too was getting turned on just by seeing her expressions and her milky bare skin. As he continued to massage her lower back she let out a slight moan out of pleasure which sent Armaan over the edge and he turned her around immediately. She crashed into his chest and her wet hair stuck to his neck and chest. Armaan buried himself in Riddhima's hair and inhaled the sweet scent which intoxicated his senses. Riddhima took in a deep breath trying to steady herself and she tried to look away again but this time Armaan held her face by the chin and made her look into his eyes. He gently caressed her face.
"Armaan" she groaned.
"Riddhima no excuses remember your promise" he whispered into her lips.
His hot breath sent chills through her body. Riddhima held on to his shirt to support herself because by this time she was losing her senses. He slowly blew her wet hair away from her neck which made Riddhima bend her neck towards him and moan. He loved the effect he had on her. He left a trail of wet kisses moving from her ear to her shoulder while she moved her fingers through his hair. Finally Armaan leaned on to her already parted lips placing a soft kiss. At first Riddhima resisted but her temptation and Armaan's burning passion got the better of her. The kiss which started off gentle grew more passionate. Riddhima's soft pink lips that she had just coated with watermelon lipgloss turned Armaan on all the more and soon enough Armaan and Riddhima's tongues danced together in synch. Armaan held onto Riddhima protectively. They felt peaceful and content when they were with one another and it was as the outside world disappeared when they were together. Riddhima was the first to break out of the kiss as she was out of breath.
"Armaan" Riddhima whispered
"Hmmm, Basket"
"I love you" she pecked his nose
"I love you too Basket" Armaan smiled feeling on top of the world. These three words had the magic of conveying, emotions and feelings that never needed to be said.
Armaan carried a very dazed Riddhima onto their bed where he covered her with himself. They resumed their passionate kissing feeling the need for one another more than ever. The candle which lay lit went dark as the wind blew out the fire bringing with it a renewed zeal and passion for love.
Though it had been only 2 hours since they fell asleep, Riddhima was already up and she smiled as she looked at her Armaan sleeping. He looked so cute with his messed up hair, she couldn't resist his cuteness and she gave him a light peck on the lips before she tried waking him up.
"Armaan uttho na"
"Basket sune do mujhe please"- A very cranky Armaan pulled Riddhima closer by the waist so that there was no room to escape.
"It's Sunday na we need to get so much done before we have to go back to hospital Armaan and if we don't wake up nothing will get done"
"RIDDHIMA, it's only 6am no way in hell am I waking up" he said burying his head into her neck
"But Armaan"
"NO Basket chup I only had 2 hours of sleep yet"
"Woh kiski fault hai"
"Tumhara of course if you were not so sexy then we would spend our nights sleeping instead of making love till 4am"
That comment managed to make Riddhima blush and getting no response from her Armaan knew he had managed to make his Riddhima blush and he continued to babble half asleep.
"So I assume you agree with my point and will let me sleep now"
"Fine tum so jao but mujhe jaane do na"
"No way you already know I can't sleep without hugging you then why even think about that option Basket"
"Armaan you are too much"
"Haan haan whatever now sleep" With that he cuddled up to her holding onto her protectively and fell asleep. Riddhima just ruffled his hair trying to put his long hair into place and tried to sleep herself since she had no other option.
Riddhima covered her face with her blanket because the sudden light caught her off-guard. She tried to find Armaan who was suppose to be cuddling her but she couldn't find him anywhere. Finally giving up she threw over the blanket and got straight up only to find Armaan standing by the window with a breakfast tray in his hand.
"Good Morning Sleeping Beauty"
"Armaan tum kab utthey aur why didn't you wake me up"
"Well I have been up since 10 but unlike you I don't have the heart to wake people up who look so beautiful while sleeping"
"Armaan...WAIT did you make breakfast?!"
"Of course...NOT; you know I can't really cook Basket but I did pick it up from the diner and brought it up just for you so you can have breakfast in bed" he said while placing the tray on the bed and lightly pecking her lips.
"I love you"
"I love me too"
"Armaan"
"Ok ab jaldi se khao so that we can get on with your things-to-do list"
