PART 11

Next day morning, all were seated in the dining hall having breakfast. Armaan was least bothered about all the cold stares he got from his family. He just having his breakfast peacefully when Ananya spoke loud.

Ananya: Riddhima, Billy has spoken to Armaan's college principal about your admission. You can join from today. All the formalities will be taken care by them about the transfer. So go get ready, you will have to leave in another half an hour. Billy will drop you and he will talk to the principal also.

Armaan: No way she is joining that college. I don't want her anywhere near me.

Ananya: I not asking for ur advise, so stay out of it.

Armaan: Mom, seriously I am not letting her enter that college. I have got a rep over there and I don't want to be tagged with her and spoil my image there. Get her in to some other college. And more over if dad comes with her then all my friends will start nagging me as to who is she and why is dad with that girl and all such questions which I cannot answer. So pls …….

Ananya: I am not asking your permission and it is final that Riddhima is joining that college and that is final.

Armaan: Ok if u want that, fine then I am not staying in this house any more, I am leaving this house.

Ananya: your wish…. Saying that she turned back to go inside the kitchen angrily.

Ridz: Nahi mom, its ok I wont continue my studies, u people don't have to fight for that.

Billy: Nahi beta, its final that u will continue your studies.

Muskaan: ok ok, lets do it like this Riddhima will join the college …..

Armaan: but……..

Muskaan: "Just shut up and listen." She wanted Armaan to realize his mistake, but if he left the house it would be impossible to teach him a lesson, so she made a plan. Riddhima will join the college, no one except the principal will know about Riddhima and Armaan. Like this nobody will have the problem what say. She asked looking at all of them.

Riddhima made a small nod. Armaan felt like cursing her as she would be in front of him all the time, but felt happy that she wont be tagged along with him at least in the college. Then again he thought he can plan something to throw her out of his life this way. He could do something when she at college and make her leave him on her own.

He smiled to himself and left from there.

Riddhima got ready and left to college in other car.

Riddhima was introduced to the class by the lecturer as the top most graded student in the previous college. All were baffled to see that she was so simple and had beat Armaan in studies. She introduced herself and went and sat next to a girl. While sitting she looked up to see Armaan looking at her with glaring eyes. He sat with a girl next to him. She diverted her gaze down and sat. The girl next to her said "hi, I am Nikki. She smiled at her and said "hi, Riddhima." They both got along very well instantly. When Nikki took her to the canteen, she saw Armaan there and didn't want to go but Nikki dragged her in. She introduced her to everyone. All smiled at her and like this the day went off.

In the evening when Armaan returned home, he was still angry at god knows what. He himself did not understand why was he so angry at sometimes. He went inside the room directly as he had had his dinner out and also it was late and did not find anyone in the living room. When he entered the room, he saw her reading a book. He straight away went to her and pulled her book. Look I told you not to interfere in my life. Do not try to talk to me or be with me in any way. Do you understand. Don't you dare join my group I am warning you. Saying this he threw the book on the bed and went to the washroom. Riddhima just kept quite looking at his retreating back and picked up the book and placed on the table and slept on her side before he came out.

Like this two months passed away. Armaan would never leave a chance to insult her in front of all his friends. He did not leave her at peace. She could not do much as she did not want to complain against him to his parents. She could not even say anything to Muskaan as she had become too busy with her hospital schedules. She hardly met her some days. She did not want to create a scene again and she thought as it is they were facing so many problems due to her and she blamed herself for everything. She had made quite a few friends at college. Nikki was the closest. But there was a problem with that too. Nikki's BF Abhi was Armaan's friend and Nikki always joined Abhi. Riddhima could not join Nikki at that time. Armaan had a group of friends with whom he always was spotted. Abhi, yuvi, naina, JP, and Jiggy. He even had many other friends but they were only girls for time pass. At present his current GF was Tisha. Riddhima knew about all these things, but cared nothing about it, but sometimes she felt bad seeing Tisha and Armaan in a close proximity and then didn't want to think about all this. She was always found either in library or in the class room. She did not like to go to canteen as Armaan always would be there. When she had to go in the lunch time, she would rather sit alone or would sit with others. Nikki had pestered her many a times to join her group but she had avoided her giving one or the other reason.

One day when Riddhima was walking towards the car in front of the college, she heard some loud noise in the parking area. She turned to look at what it was. She saw two guys arguing. She thought to leave it to themselves and was about to leave when she saw two others joining them. She could not see them properly as it was dark near the parking place. Suddenly she saw that one guy hit the other who was standing in the middle. She went near to see what was happening she saw the guy falling down and could see his face. She nearly gasped looking at him, Armaan, she whispered. Then she noticed that one of them was approaching to hit him on his stomach, she ran and pushed him down from his back. In that time, Armaan got up and started hitting other two. In all this he did not notice that Riddhima was there with him. While fighting with the two, the third one took out a knife and barged towards him. Riddhima held the knife in the middle without letting him to stab Armaan. She was struggling to pull out the knife from his hand. Armaan turned back and looked at her what she was doing. When she did not leave the knife, the guy holding the knife got agitated and pushed her hard on the ground. She feel on her stomach and got her head banged to the side wall and got unconscious. Armaan saw this and he reached near that guy and punched him hard on his face. When no one could attack Armaan back, the three guys ran from there to save their lives.

Armaan turned to her and went near her. He started cursing his fate about what was he going to do now. He carelessly shook her, but she did not wake up. He turned her front and saw that she had a wound on her head and her hands were bleeding. "Sh*t, ab kya karoon. Why the hell she had to come in between. Ise toh drama karne mein bohot maza ata hain." He walked back to his car and got the water bottle and sprinkled some water on her face. She slowly gained conscious. "Eh! Get up now, get up." She saw him and tried to get up but suddenly held her stomach and felt a sharp pain erupting there. She again fell down on her knees clutching her stomach leaving a loud groan "Aaahhhhhhhhh" crying.
