Part 13

"Ridz, why are you so happy?" Muskaan asked. She wondered what was going on.

"Arre kuch nahi na. You'll get to know everything when the right time comes." Riddhima could not stop smiling. This was going to be the best day of Muskaan's life.

"What the hell man! No one tells me anything. =("

"Ya, that's because you are not meant to know. You will find out soon sweety. Don't worry. Come on, let's go to our next class." Riddhima checked her timetable and sighed. "Commerce!" she thought. "Another lesson of torture for my heart! Why can't I hate him?" She let out another sigh and walked to her class.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

Riddhima's POV

It turned out to be a free period, no teacher for us. So we all inside our class room, mucking around, wasting our time like idiots. Oh well, I don't mind. The only thing that is irritating me is Armaan's gaze. He is continuously staring at me and his looks make me feel like my skin is burning. I decide to go out for a walk. As I get up, I think I notice Rahul nod at Armaan. And sure enough, he follows me out of the class. I slowly walk in the corridors. They are so deserted, so lonely. And suddenly I start feeling lonely. I hear Armaan's footsteps behind me and wonder what he is up to. I sigh and continue walking.

Unknowingly, I reach the basketball courts and suddenly all the memories come flooding back. All of the matches and of course, the last one. Tears start to well up in my eyes. A voice comes from my heart. It says to me, "Riddhima, why are you faking it? Why are you trying to tell yourself you don't like him? Why?" And I ask myself the same questions.

"Riddhima!" It was Armaan's voice. It was so soothing, I was already feeling better.

"I don't want to talk to you Armaan!" What? Why did I say that? As if my legs know what to do, they start to move without my permission and start to take me away from him, from Armaan. I can't stop these tears from flowing down my cheeks. Damn! I hate all this.

"Riddhima, you gotta listen to me!" I still keep walking. It was as if I had no control over my own body. Electric currents start flowing up my arm as he grabs it. I wipe the tears away and turn around to look at him.

"Armaan, haath chodo!" He doesn't let go. "I said leave my hand god damn it!" I look up at his face and I am reminded of our first basketball match, that angry face.

"You know what Riddhima, I had to tell you something very important. But no, tumhe to kuch sunna hi nahi hai. Anyways, give me Nikki's contact details. Abhi needs them."

"Nahi milegi, why does he need them?" He still hasn't let go of my hand.

Armaan pulls me closer and our faces are now centimetres apart. "Tum to pyaar ka matlab samajh nahi pai, and now when someone else is dying to hear the voice of the person they love, you don't even want to help. You are seriously heartless. You'll never understand what love is." Saying that he let go off my hand and started to walk away.

I stood there, his words still ringing in my ears and stabbing me. Realisation dawns on me and I yell his name out. He stops but doesn't turn around. I start to walk towards him, my heart beating at a million beats per second.

"Ye lo! Nikki ka number." He turns around, takes my phone, notes the number and gives it back. He leaves without another word. I wonder what was it that wanted to tell me. I silently walk back to class, hurt all over again, and that too by the same person.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O


Abhi's POV

"Here, this is Nikki's number. You can talk to her now." Armaan was angry. I wonder why though?

"What happened Armaan?" Rahul asked. "Riddhima se baat hui?"

"Naam mat le uska. Arrogance ki hadd hoti hai yaar. Seriously, about time she realises that I am trying to apologise."

"Ya, I understand your frustration. Abhi, you go talk to Nikki. She needs to know the truth."

"Ya, I'll go!" And I went off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So here I am, far away from everyone, gathering my courage to talk to my lady love. I dial her number, nervous about talking to her after such a long time. She didn't pick up. I tried again, but no answer. I tried two more times, but still no answer. "Last try." I thought and pressed the call button.

"Hello! Sorry, bathroom mein thi." I felt so good on hearing her voice. I remembered our time spent together. I was so lost in my thoughts, I forgot to reply. "Hello! Kaun hai? Bloody prank callers."

"Hello Nikki!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nikki's POV

It couldn't be… it couldn't be him. How did he get my number? No, it's not him. Tears roll down my cheeks. I regained my control and said, "Kaun?"

"Itna jaldi bhool gayi mujhe?"

"Sorry, maine aapko pehchana nahi."

"Nikki, stop lying. You know it's me, Abhi. And don't hang up on me. I need to tell you something really important about Muskaan and Riddhi- " I cut him off.

"What happened to them?" Far out, what's wrong?

"Ek minute, tumne apni email check kari?"

"I don't have internet over here yet. Mom dad nahi lagvaane de rahe hai. But unhe hua kya hai?"

"Hua nahi, hone waala hai." And he told me everything.

"To tum kuch karte kyun nahi ho?"

"They don't want to listen to us. Only you can stop this shit now. It's all in your hands. And Nikki, I am sorry, we all are sorry. I hope that at least you will forgive us."

Before he hung up, I said, "Abhi, ab phone lagaya hai to baat nahi karoge?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abhi's POV

She really wanted to talk to me? "So, you forgive us?"

"Ya, I do. Abhi… I apologise on their behalf for them not listening to you."

"It's okay. I'll call you later. You talk to Ridz first. She needs to know."

"Oh ya. Okay, bye. Take care."

"Bye. You take care too." And I hung up. I ran back to tell Armaan and Rahul that I had done my job.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

"Will you go out with me?"

"What?"

"Will you… go out… with me?"

"I need time to think." His face fell. "What's wrong with you Garry? Even if she does say that, keep smiling. You are such an ass." Riddhima said. Her phone started to ring. She excused herself from their rehearsals and went to talk to whoever had called.

"Hello!"

"Hey Riddhima, Nikki here."

"Oh-My-God! How are you girl?"

"I am good. Achcha, now listen to what I am saying very carefully."

"Nikki... what- "

"Just listen."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riddhima's POV

My head was spinning. This couldn't be true. So that's what Armaan was trying to tell me in the basketball courts. "Nahi Nikki, this can't be true."

"Just shut up Ridz. You know they have been trying to apologise for such a long time and you both have been ignoring them. Gosh yaar, how dumb can you both be?"

"Mujhe laga ki wo… phirse… insult karne aa rahe the."

"Dude, insaan galti ek baar karta hai, baar-baar nahi. Sabse pehle tu Muskaan ko sab bata de, usse pehle ki-"

"Nahi, I won't let anything happen. Chal bye, talk to you later."

"Yup, bye."

I hung up to find out that Garry was not there anymore.
"Shit!"

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

Riddhima ran to find Muskaan. She looked everywhere but couldn't find her. There was only one place to look, the canteen. She ran and stopped to see Garry down on one knee, proposing Muskaan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Will you go out with me?"

"What?"

"Will you… go out… with me?"

"No. I… sorry… I am committed."

Riddhima's expression changed from horror (she thought Muskaan would say yes), to relief (she said no) to shock (she was committed, but with who?)

"With who?" Garry asked.

"With Rahul…… he just asked me out a few minutes ago and I couldn't say not to him. I mean…… I like him!"

"But what about me? I thought you liked me!"

"That was just a crush. I couldn't stay away from Rahul anymore. He asked me out and…… I said yes. :)"

Riddhima was happy, not angry. It had just been a few a minutes.

"But… you still said yes after what they did to you?"

"It was a misunderstanding. He apologised. I understood, misunderstandings happen. Now its all clear. I… I am really sorry Garry."

"Muskaan!" Rahul came into the quad. "Can I talk you?"

"Yea! Go ahead."

"Alone!" he sounded angry.

"Umm… ok!" Rahul took Muskaan to where Riddhima was standing.

"Look Muskaan… I want you to stay away from Garry. You too Ridz."

"But why?"

"It was Garry. It was him who caused all the misunderstandings Muski." Riddhima said.

"You're kidding right?"

"Nope, I am serious."

"Saala kameena. I won't leave him alive I swear."

"Oye! Calm down women. Jeez, kitna ghussa karti hai yaar. Mera pata nahi kya hoga." Rahul said.

"Kya matlab kya hoga?"

"Nothing." Rahul saw Armaan approaching them. "Armaan! Come here man!" he yelled.

"Hey Rahul. Hey bhabhi." Armaan greeted them both but didn't even look at Riddhima.

"Um… hi Armaan." Riddhima said.

"So, how are the new couples?" Armaan was fully ignoring Riddhima.

"Armaan, I am really sorry. I know I was wrong - "

"Look Riddhima, it was my duty to clear the misunderstandings and I did that. Now you are free to do whatever you want to."

"That's what I am trying to do but you - "

"I'll catch you and Abhi later Rahul. See ya. Bye bhabhi."

"Stop calling me that!" Muskaan yelled.

"Okay, okay. I will stop calling you that. Bye."

Riddhima sighed. "I guess meri galti hai. Now I have to make up for it. He throws tantrums which are worse than a girl's. I'll go and manaofy him."

"Ok. But Ridz, you don't know where he is do you?" Rahul asked.

"I do. I know him that much. :)"

"Ok. Good luck!"

"Thanks. I'll need it." And Riddhima set off on her mission to placate Armaan.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

She walked into the narrow, small room. It looked as if the room had not seen sunlight in years.

"Armaan!" She called.

Armaan looked up, startled, to see a girl standing there. He knew for sure that it was Riddhima.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I came here to talk you." She made a request to her heart to slow its pace down because if it didn't, it was going to pop out of her body.

"Who told you I am here?"

"No one. I just knew you were here."

Armaan sighed. Why did she have to know him so well. "What do you want?" He got up and turned the light on. Her face showed nothing but sadness.

"Armaan, I am sorry… for what I did on the courts. I… I didn't mean - "

"Seriously, I don't care. It's not like we are ever going to talk again. So what's the point? You know, you don't need to apologise Miss Riddhima Gupta. I know what you did was rude - "

"Armaan, main bol rahi hoon na that I am really sorry. I know that I have not been listening to you and all, but just listen to me once, please."

"You didn't listen to me. So… why should I listen to you?"

That ticked Riddhima off. "There is a limit to rudeness and arrogance Armaan and you have crossed it. You know what? You don't even deserve my apology. So I'm better off not talking to you. Di ne sahi kaha tha, tumhe to main tab tak maaf nahi karungi jab tak tum apne ghutne nahi tek lete."

"First of all, you have crossed your limits of rudeness and arrogance as well. Secondly, ghutne to main kabhi nahi tekunga, especially tumhare liye. And thirdly, dekh lena, baat karne to tum hi aaogi pehle."

"Dekh lenge Mr. Armaan Mallik, who talks first." And saying that, Riddhima stormed out of the room.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

"Samajhta kya hai apne aap ko. Bloody - " Riddhima was cut short by Muskaan.

"Hold it there woman. Phirse lade tum dono?" Muskaan asked.

"Usne ladna start kiya. Main to sorry bolne gayi thi na. Wo to baat karne ko hi taiyyar nahi hai."

"Oh, well that's sad."

"And that's all you can do to help me. Thanks a lot Muski."

"Dekh, ye teri aur uski problem hai. Tum dono solve karo. Hume beech mein mat ghaseeto."

"=O Dekh li teri dosti. Hmph!"

"Achcha ye sab chod. Tera mobile kahan hai? Di ka phone aaya tha, she wanted to talk to you."

"Oh shit! Mera phone to low battery ki wajah se off ho gaya hai. Shit Ridzy, she is gonna kill you man."

"But why?"

"Actually, I meant to meat jeeju this weekend. She was going to tell me where to meet them after work. But I… *laughs nervously* I forgot."

"Shit! Here, take my phone and call her."

"Thanks dude."

"No problem."

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

"Hi di, sorry, the battery depleted and my phone turned off. So sorry."

"Not a problem dude. Ok, so we were thinking of going to the city. What say?"

"I don't have any problems. :)"

"Okay, so we will meet you outside Central in front of Easy Way."

"Alright, I can't wait for tomorrow."

"Me neither. Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Why not today? You aren't coming home?"

"I have night shift today. So ya, I'll see ya tomorrow."

"Okies, bye, have fun." And she kept the phone down.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

Next day

"Chal, I'll see you tomorrow Muski." Riddhima said.

"Yup, see you tomorrow, here in this workplace of ours. :P"

"Umm… tujhe kya ho gaya hai?"

"Pagal ho gayi hoon kyunki main thak gayi hoon. =P"

"Aah… I see. Normal hai. Hehe. Chal bye."

"Bye - bye. Enjoy today."

"Sure will. :D"

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O

In the train

Riddhima's POV

Why does he have to be in the same train and the same carriage as me? Seriously, does God have any issues with me? Grrr… I hate you Armaan.


Armaan's POV

What the hell? Why does she have to be in the same train and the same carriage as me? Damn it! I hate you Riddhima!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They both got off at Central. They 'accidentally' looked at each other and glared. They both walked towards the same destination unknowingly. Riddhima stopped on her way to get an ice-cream. She was freaking hungry.

She was so excited. No one could explain her happiness. She saw Anjie standing there, her expression showing tension. Atul's back was towards Riddhima and she notices that someone else was there. She waved at Anjie who waved back. Atul turned around and so did his brother, Armaan Mallik, and that is when Riddhima understood her sister's weird behaviour after meeting Atul's brother, that is when she received the biggest shock of her life.

O~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~O
