Content, I sighed. Yeah, this was the best moment of my life. If only...
Blinking back tears of both joy and sadness, I pulled back. "Don't!" He warned me and wiped my eyes, placing a soft kiss on my head.
Awwww :) I love the transferring of thoughts without words thingy...especially in a friendship... that makes the friendship so deep and cute! It just touches my heart...
I saw him get pulled by another set of our friends and I laughed as he got pulled into a few kisses from his female fan following ' nah, I wasn't at all bothered by that. For one, I had witnessed scenes like these since ages, and second, it was the female gang's last chance to lay their claws on him!
😆 LOL!! I can totally imagine the scene... The lipstick marks on his face and the embarrassment adding 5 stars to his golden expression... hayyee... that sounds like Armaan doesn't it? 😳 <3
Not today Riddhima, I thought to myself...It's your perfect day! Don't let it get ruined! Remember your promise...The promise I had made to myself before I came back here...
Feel baad for her!....how hard shes trying to hold back her grief.. but keeps losing it every moment! I just hope that Armaan doesn't ruin the confession... the poor soul has been through a lot...
I could see the hurt in his eyes when I would refuse point blank in small things like accompanying him to buy groceries, play basketball in the backyard, go with him to the movies or to get a burger, things we used to do together in the past
Sad!...really, really sad! I'm sure Ridzi is equally hurt too... isn't she?
Party? A party, where I would have to witness couples enjoying in each others' arms while breathing that air of freedom...Not to mention one particular couple which would hurt me to no extent. No!
God! She is really messed up isn't she? And I wonder why Armaan can't see that coz it is SO obvious...
"Armaan, no....Um..." I shook his hand off, a little too harshly, and he turned to face me, a little shocked, and hurt.
"It's okay Niks! She can be a bore and a spoiltsport...Let's go, I'm driving Andrea and you guys there..." I looked at Armaan shocked, and he just gave me a cold, angry glare in return. Well, I had brought it on myself. Did he know I was blowing him off then?
"Find better ways of blowing me off...At least be honest to me if my presence irks you so much! Enjoy with your parents!"
:( This must be so difficult for her! I agree with Ridzi actually... her punishment went too far... she doesn't deserve that much!!! I know she realized her love late and stuff (if you remember it..I used to hate her at dat point....)...but she doesn't deserve being treated this way (if this is some master plan by Armaan...)
No! No! I don't agree! It's not a good idea at all! He's mine! I wanted to yell, but I couldn't! They would just call me crazy, and my concerned parents would probably think I was just feeling rotten that I was single and nowhere near an engagement, as a result of which the entire 'Ladka-Khojo-Abhiyan' as I used to call it would begin again!
Why am I getting the feeling that AR's parents know about Ridzi's love for Armaan...? And somewhere I feel that they are a part of the master plan.... something like that... 😆 you know to make Riddhima realize her love...
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it!
And now, I had to talk to him about his stupid so-called engagement. Great! Way to go! Awesome!
Siitng back against the bed post, still in my graduation formals, I closed my eyes, trying hard not to let those tears of frustration seep out. But then, not crying made the pain in my heart worse. But no, I wasn't gonna cry, I had made up my mind.
Grabbing a paper, I made two columns, Pros and Cons Of Telling Armaan The Trurth.
Pros:-
1. There could be a chance that he loves me too and we live happily ever after (*Sigh*).
2. I get to spend my entire life with him (My dream come true, eeps!).
3. I can get rid of Andrea (although that's secondary!).
Cons:-
1. It could be that Armaan is actually in love with the blonde and I would have my heartbroken yet again.
2. Possibility of losing Armaan as my best friend as well!
3. I could put him in a fix, make things harder for him, spoil his happy mood. Is it worth that?
4. I would hurt Andrea (Who cares?).
5. Parents ' a lot of explanation would be on the cards.
Biting the edge of pen, I thought hard, trying to list down 3 more pros to make my heart win. But, I couldn't come up with anything. So much for stupid Pros and Cons. Who invented this crap anyway! It's useless!
Crumpling the paper into a ball, I tossed it across the opposite wall, into an imaginary basket.
Riddhima indeed is quiet strong mentally... 👏 Shes a total sport if you see... coz had it been someone else would have been totally shattered... she's quiet better than a lot of them actually!
The next part I liked was the whole Sid-Riddhima part.... Its quiet huge so din't paste it here... 😃 Sid is her true friend supporting her throughout! I love the way he understood her unspoken words...I mean Armaan is the one who is supposed to do that... but ehh who cares! Cute anyways! At some places I actually like Sid more than Armaan... (sorry 'bout that... 😃).. I mean he seems quiet mature and perfect for Riddhima! Yet I'd say AR forever.... <3
I took out our picture from my bag which was was on the side-table, and along with it removed that bracelet he had given me. It was all a sign of his love...Crying even more bitterly than before, I hugged his picture tight, clasping the bracelet tight in my hand, so tight that I could feel it's edges crushing into my skin...But I didn't care...Any pain was better than this...
I sobbed, wishing he was here, to wipe my tears away, tell me all this was a bad joke...But I had lost him...Forever....
😭😭 I CAN'T imagine what she must have gone through thinking about that! All the pain... wanting to take your life out.... ahh just too sad! The way you have portrayed her emotions through out is great... it makes the reader feel the same too...great writing.... ⭐️
"And why not?" He asked me, his voice devoid of any emotion, any expression.
"Because I love you!" I said in a single breath. "I love you!"
This sounded like he was waiting for her to say it... Like finally locking your eyes with hers, the moment your heart skips a beat... and you realize that she is about the confess.... It felt intense... the confession was cute, intense... sweet yet passionate... How do you do that? It is lovely!!!
I began to move up yet again, but this time, he didn't just grab my hand, but he pulled me, making me lose my balance, and I saw him pull me out through the backyard, and into the outhouse.
"WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" He asked me as soon as he had closed the door.
I kinda like the tension inbetween them.... 😳 I don't know why....maybe coz you wrote it so beautifully that it made me love it... <3 <3
Overall.. obviously a masterpiece by itself since Ridzi finally FINALLY confessed her love.. I wasn't expecting this kinda confession... and this one is... one of the best one I've seen/read..... It makes the AR bestie bond even more beautiful and deep!
Great work!!!
I guess the next part is Armaan's POV if I'm not wrong? Darn I want to know what happens next! 😭 Why did you have to stop it there huh!? 😡
Continue soon...
