Part 7

Monday Morning – Gupta House

"Rahul ke bachche, jaldi nikal!" Muskaan yelled.

"Rahul ke bachche nahi, Rahul naha raha hai!" Rahul yelled back.

"Muskaan, tu uss bathroom mein chali jaa." Ridz said.

"I would have, but kal maine apne saare essentials iss bathroom mein rakh diye."

"Oh ok. I get it. Wait!" …… "Rahul! Jaldi nikal. Adjust karna seekh. Tu akela nahi rehta iss ghar mein. Jaldi nikal!" Ridz yelled at Rahul.

"Ok! Ok! Nikal raha hoon." Said an irritated Rahul. He came out in less than two minutes and Muskaan took a quick shower. They were all ready and sat down in the guys' room.

"Riddhima! Tum neeche kab aaogi? Do minute mein tumhari bus aane waali hai. Kitni der lagaogi!" Padma yelled. They all looked at their watches and ran downstairs and out of the house yelling "Bye!"

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

At school

"Yaar thanks to aunty we are on time, otherwise to school bhi late pohochte and daant bhi padti." Abhi said.

"Ya. Well, mom has practice. She says the same line to me everyday because I am late everyday. :P" Ridz said and they all burst out laughing.

The day passed away. They practised their dance in recess and lunch. They were half-way through their dance and were going to go to Muskaan's house to finish of their other half. Rahul agreed to the fact that Muskaan was a fantastic at dancing, but never said it openly. Soon the day ended and they departed to Muskaan's house.

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

Muskaan's house

Everyone had finished their lunch except Ridz and Armaan because they were slow eaters. While they were eating, Muskaan made some room in the lounge area for them to practise. Abhi, Rahul and Nikki helped. Soon Armaan and Ridz finished their lunch and went to the kitchen to keep their dishes and wash their hands.

In the kitchen

Riddhima was washing her hands while Armaan was pouring water for Ridz and himself in a glass. While pouring water, some fell on the floor. Ridz didn't know that and so turned around and started to walk towards Armaan to get her glass of water.

"Riddhy watch ou – " but before he could complete his sentence, Ridz slipped and……

Riddhima's point of view

"Oh shit! I am falling, I am falling. Oh no!" she thought and shut her eyes close. "Ab to main gayi. Oh no! Mummy." Her thoughts were moving fast. "Mujhe girne ki avaaz kyun nahi aa rahi hai? I think head ko itna bura blow laga hai ki main – main behri ho gayi hun. Oh shit yaar." All she felt was currents running through her body and the warmness enveloping her. "I think I am bleeding too much. That's why I am feeling so warm. And I think I fell very, very hard, that's why there are currents running through my body which means I am numb and that's why I can't feel any pain." But then she heard someone calling her name. "I am not deaf. Oh my god. Yay!" she thought. She knew it was Armaan, no, Ammy, her Ammy. She opened her eyes and……

Armaan's point of view

"Thank god she opened her eyes. But she looked so cute with her eyes shut and that scared expression on her face." He couldn't help but stare at her as her expression changed from tension to relief. As she opened her eyes, he got lost in those caramelish – chocolate eyes. "Thank god I caught her, otherwise pata nahi meri Riddhy ko kitni chot lag jaati." He thought.

Out in the real world

They inched closer and closer not realizing what they were about to do, not realizing they were about to kiss.

Outside in the lounge room, everyone was wondering what was taking Armaan and Ridz so long. Muskaan decided to check on them. She went to the kitchen but silently retreated back to the lounge room. She didn't want to disturb them.

"Kah - " Nikki started but Muskaan signalled her to keep quiet. She told them all in a hushed voice that Ridz was in Armaan's arms and that they were having a moment. They all smiled. They all had a feeling from the beginning that they were the 'meant to be together' couple.

Inside the kitchen, they were inching closer every second. It was as if the world, the time; everything had frozen except for them two. They were about to kiss when……

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

The door bell rang. They all got angry because they knew that Armaan and Riddhima would have been disturbed. Muskaan went to the door muttering "bloody hell" under her breath. She opened the door and found postman there.

"Hi. I have a courier for you." He said.

"Umm. This is for my dad, not me." Muskaan replied rudely.

"Um. You can still take it and sign on his behalf."

"Fine." She signed the paper and took the courier.

"Sorry if I disturbed you ma'am." The guy looked hurt and Muskaan didn't like someone being hurt.

"Hey, I am sorry. I didn't mean to be rude or anything. I am just not in a good mood. Really sorry."

"It's ok." The guy smiled and went.

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

When…… the door bell rang. They both came out of their la-la land. Ridz straightened up. She was going red with embarrassment and so was Armaan. Riddhima quickly walked outside leaving behind Armaan, who was grinning ear to ear.

Ridz went outside and looked at everyone. They were talking normally. "Phew. No one saw us!" she thought. "Guys, Muskaan kaha hai? Practise nahi karni kya?" Ridz asked.

They all decided to act normally as if nothing had happened. Nikki spoke in reply to Ridz's questions. "Koi aaya hai, so Muskaan unhe attend karne gayi hai. Wo aaye to hum practise kare."

"Ok!"

"Armaan kaha reh gaya?"

"Wo paani pe raha hai." Ridz said hurriedly and went red hearing his name. She tried not to blush, but couldn't stop. Everyone pretended to not have seen Ridz blush, but they actually had. Soon Armaan and Muskaan came back and they begun their practises.

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 was having problems dancing with Armaan. Abhi-Nikki and Rahul-Muskaan were the other couples. Muskaan was asking everyone to keep an eye contact with their partners. Riddhima was afraid she would have an eye-lock with Armaan and everyone would notice. Ridz heaved a sigh of relief when Muskaan said, "Guys! We are done. Finally :). We can relax now."

"Ridz, tujhe kya hua hai?" Rahul asked.

"Kuch nahi. Kyun?" Ridz asked, confused.

"No, you sighed that's why. Any problem.?"

"Wo... aa... wo actually I … a… I am tired na. Tha – that's why." Ridz was stumbling and everyone chuckled, including Armaan, since they knew why Ridz sighed and why she was stammering. Ridz just ignored them and went to get everyone a drink. She came back with 5 cans of coke and 1 can of ginger beer for herself.

"Ridz! Beer! Haww!! :P" Abhi said.

"Oh shut up. It's not alcoholic. You should know that!" Ridz said. After they all had their drinks, they started to talk. Armaan was continuously staring at Ridz.

"Muskaan, you got a guitar?" Armaan asked.

"Um ya. But an acoustic guitar. Chalega?" Muskaan asked.

"Dodega :P. Leke aa."

"Ok!" She got up and got the guitar and gave it to Armaan. Armaan was staring at Ridz and then he started to Ridz.

Jane yeh kya hua
Jane Yeh kya hua
Hum dono ka yun milna
Aise paaas aana

(He remembers their first meeting, their fights and how close they had come in the past few days.)

Jane yeh kya hua
Jane Yeh kya hua
Ab har pal anjana hai
Dekho hona hai
Aur kya

Jane kyun lagta hai
Dheere se haule se
Geet koi Dil hai ga raha

Jane kyun lagta hai
Abb jaise har lamha har pal hai
Muskura raha

Jane kyun lagta hai
Dheere se haule se
Geet koi Dil hai ga raha

Jane kyun lagta hai
Abb jaise har lamha har pal hai
Muskura raha

Tumhein hai pata
mene pheli baar jo dekha tumhein
Mujhe yeh laga
chahun bhi to kaise pa sakunga
Tumhein
Sapna tha ek din to
main hoon tum ho
Tum dheere se bolo
Tumko apna mana hai
Dekho hona hai
Aur kya

(He remembers how he found it so hard to get an apology from Ridz when he had said something he shouldn't have said about Muskaan and now, he wondered if Ridz loved him and if she was ever going to confess.)

(Rahul asks Muskaan for a dance and Abhi asks Nikki. The girls say yes and they start dancing.)

Jane kyun lagta hai
Dheere se haule se
Geet koi Dil hai ga raha
Lyricsmasti.com
Jane kyun lagta hai
Abb jaise har lamha har pal hai
Muskura raha

Kahun kya bhala
Tumhi ko to mein chahta hoon Suno
Tumhein jo mila
Mene jana main bhi zinda hoon
Suno
Kahun mein kya tumko
Main hoon tum hoo
Bas itna sun lo
Tum pe koi deewana hai
ho na hai aur kya

(He was indirectly confessing his love to Ridz wondering is she understood him.)

Jane yeh kya hua
Jane Yeh kya hua
Abb har pal anjana hai
Dekho hona hai
Aur kya

Ridz was blushing badly. She was still denying the fact that she liked Armaan. On the other hand, Armaan was not denying anything. Nothing. He knew he liked Ridz. She was special, special than everyone, every single person in his life. The gang came and sat down. They saw that they were having another eye-lock. They looked so…… so…… Actually, there was no word to describe how they looked together. They were like a couple made in heaven, two angels made for each other on earth.

Riddhima's point of view

Ye bluish grey eyes. They are so deep but so shallow. They tell me so much but they tell me nothing. They tell me that they love me but do they really? What is this? Ridz, do you really… are you really… is this really… is this… is this your first love? Pehla pyaar? Kya aisa hota hai pehla pyaar? But how come? I am only 13. Is age mein love. Possible kya?

Armaan's point of view

Love has no bounds, no barriers, no age restrictions…… right? I have heard that. And now… now I am experiencing it. These caramelish – chocolate eyes tell me they have love in them… an infinite amount of love. But is that for me? I can only hope for that. But all these eye – locks and sweet moments, aren't they a sign. Armaan, you are one confused man. But then, Riddhy ki type ki ladki se pyaar, tom-boy se pyaar… is that your choice? Lekin pyaar shakal se nahi, dil se hota hai… right? Urghh. Love - bohot- confusing - hai!

Out in the real world

"Ahem-ahem! Hum bhi hai yahan :P" Rahul said.

"Huh!?!? What?" Armaan said while Ridz went a shade of scarlet red.

"Umm, Muskaan I should get going. Late ho raha hai." Ridz said.

"Arre ruk. Pagal hai kya? Raat ko akele mat jaa. Dad chod denge tum sab ko. He will be here soon. :D"

"Ummm… ok"

Everyone continued talking except Armaan and Riddhima, who were lost in their own world wondering if this is love?

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

Rahul had walked home since he lived five blocks away from Muskaan's home. Half-an-hour later Muskaan's dad came and dropped them all home.

In the car

Abhi was sitting in the front while Nikki made Ridz sit in the middle in the back seat, which meant that she was sitting next to Armaan. Nikki, as expected, did this on purpose. Soon Nikki and Abhi's home came respectively and they both went leaving Armaan, Ridz and Muskaan's dad. Soon Ridz's home came.

"Armaan, why don't you drop your friend off to her house!" Muskaan's dad said. Even he had sensed something between them two.

"Um, ok uncle." Armaan said. They silently walked to Ridz's house and when the door came; Armaan, very unexpectedly, gave Ridz a hug. It was a small but passionate hug which Ridz returned back whole-heartedly.

"Good night." Armaan said with a smile playing on his lips. :)

"Good night." Ridz said while blushing. Armaan went back to the car almost dancing. He was soooo happy. He couldn't even imagine it.

"Armaan Mallik. You - are - so - in - love."

Gupta House

"Hey ma!" Ridz said happily.

"Hello beta! How was your day?" Padma asked.

"Fantastic." She said with a big smile on her face. "Ma, I can't decide what to wear for my performance tomorrow. Please help me. Pretty please!"

"Riddhima. You – are – going – to – dress – up – tomorrow?"

"Ya!"

"Oh my god. Chal, jaldi chal. Let's decide you dress before you change your mind."

They rushed upstairs and took almost an hour to decide her dress. Soon it was all decided, her dress, her hairstyle, her jewellery and her shoes. Ridz decided to put little make up on. Even though she had never put make up on in her life, she was an expert. She always put make up and helped her sister get dressed. She was like the make up person for her sister.

"Beta, yeh sab kiske liye kar rahi hai tu?" Padma asked.

"Kya sab kiske liye?" asked a confused Ridz.

"Ye dressing up, shoes, jewellery, make up. Tu aisi nahi hai. Mujhe pata hai you hate all this. So what's this for?"

"Arre mom. Socha ab main badi ho gayi hun, ladkiyon jaisa behave karna chahiye, nahi to aage jaake kya hoga? Mujhse koi shaadi nahi karega na. :P"

"Chup kar. Chal, so ja. Good night." Padma kissed Ridz on the forehead, turned the music on and left 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

5:00 AM. Riddhima's room

The music stopped playing and Ridz woke u with a jerk. (She always slept with music on. No music = no sleep. Her music system had an alarm in it.) "Ridz, let's get ready." She said to herself. She went and took a long shower. She curled her hair. Doing all this took her an hour. She then put her dress on. She wore a blue short kurti with a jeans. She then put her make-up on ( not a lot). Then she put the jewellery on. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought, "Is this me? Boy, do I look good with girls' clothes on. I hope Ammy likes it." She blushed thinking about him. She then went downstairs and packed her lunch. Padma's jaw dropped to the floor. Her daughter looked just stunning, no words to describe her beauty. When Shashank came downstairs, he didn't say anything, but when Ridz felt he said to Padma, "I think she should dress like this everyday. She looks pretty."

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 bus

Armaan's POV

"Where is Riddhy? She can't miss school today. We have out performance today." The new girl (as he thought) looked up and he saw Ridz standing there staring at her with a cute expression on her face. (He didn't see her face before because her face was covered by her hair.) He couldn't help but stare at her. "Meri Riddhy aaj kuch zyada hi achchi lag rahi hai."

Riddhima's POV

"Ye mujhe aise kyun dekh raha hai. I don't think I look good. Epic fail Ridz. Tere Ammy ko tu achchi nahi lagi. Koi ni. Be positive Ridz." She looked down and then looked up again with a smile on her face.

In the real world

She walked towards him and sat behind him. He turned around and continued staring at her. This made Ridz very self-conscious.

"You look… beautiful." said Armaan, partly unconscious by the essence of her beauty. Ridz was surprised by his comment.

"K – kya bo – bola tumhe?" Ridz asked.

"I said you look beautiful, pretty and lord knows what! Never seen anyone like you before. :)"

"Thanks." Riddhima was blushing badly and beamed like a flower.

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

Backstage: Performance

"Guys! Tumhe sab yaad to hai na?" Muskaan asked.

"Yes ma'am!" they all yelled.

"Ok! Ok! Chilla kyun rahe ho?"

"You have asked this question a millionth time :P" They all said together again.

"Oh right. Ok. I will shut up."

"Muskaan! Listen. We will rock the stage. There will be no one like us. Ok! Trust us. Trust yourself." Rahul said keeping a hand on her shoulder.

"But how can you be so sure?" she was scared.

"Because we have you!" he said looking right into her eyes with a smile on his face. They were like that for a few seconds when the groups name was announced.

SPEAKER: Hold your breath together for ARRMAAN.

(Now you are wondering how the group name came to be as ARRMAAN.)

FLASHBACK

They all were searching for their gang's name. They needed one badly. They were all tensed when suddenly Armaan said, "Guys I got one!"

"Bol, bol. Jaldi bol." Nikki said.

"ARRMAAN!"

"Abe wo tera naam hai!"

"Gimme a pen and a piece of paper." He wrote the meaning of the name on the paper.

A – Armaan
R – Riddhima
R – Rahul
M – Muskaan
A – And
A – Abhi
N – Nikki

"Like it guys?" Armaan asked.

"Love it!" they all said together.

FLASHBACK ENDS

They were on the stage, ready to rock. Everybody was excited about the last performance hoping it would end the concert in style. And they did. They rocked the stage and finished the concert in style

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

Backstage: After the performance

Everyone was hugging each other. They were so happy. This was their first and their best performance. But no one was as happy as Muskaan. She couldn't believe it. Her first choreography and it was such a success.

"Tu yaha aise akele kyun baithi hai?" Rahul asked sitting next to her.

"Kuch nahi, abhi bhi believe nahi ho raha hai ki it was such a success."

"Muskaan, you know what?"

"What?"

"You should do some degree in dance, become a choreographer. This science and all, I don't think it's you."

Muskaan was on the 9th cloud. The guy she liked had read her mind. No one had understood her till now. No one!

"Kya hua? Maine kuch galat bola kya?" Rahul asked, not quite able to understand her expressions.

"No! tune kuch galat nahi bola. Sab sahi bola. :D" she replied with a big smile. "Tune… you… you just read my heart, said what I always wanted. You understood me!" She got up and ran out of the hall which was now empty. She found all the others and joined them. Rahul came and she blushed as she saw him.

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 and Nikki caught the bus. All the others had been picked up by their parents. Nikki's bag was very heavy (as she thought). She picked up the bag but herself fell with it. Abhi picked up the bag and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Nikki asked, confused.

"You… (takes a deep breath to control his laughter) you couldn't even pick this bag up. It is so light." And he burst out laughing again. He was expecting Nikki to tell him off but instead she kept staring at him.

"Aise kya dekh rahi ho?" he asked, kind of scared. But she didn't reply. He leaned forward and……

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

… Nikki's heart was racing. She wondered why he was leaning in. It was as if she had lost her voice. He looked like her prince charming to her. "Prince charming." She thought dreamily.

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

and…… yelled in her ears, "Nikki! Kaha kho gayi ho??!!??"

"Huh. Ouch… tum itna chilla kyun rahe ho?" Nikki asked.

"Tum mujh par kyun nahi chilla rahi ho? I was laughing at you."

"Wo… ummm… don't worry about it." She said. "I didn't feel like yelling at my prince charming." She bluttered and then bit her tongue realizing what she had just said.

"You called me… prince charming? Main prince charming hoon?"

Instead of denying, Nikki nodded in agreement. She blushed and then said, "Mera bus stop aa gaya hai, bye." And she ran out of the bus, leaving a very happy Abhi behind.

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

The girls were having a three way conversation on their phone.

"Guys, I gotta tell you something." Ridz said.

"Me too!" Nikki said.

"Same here." Muskaan said. "Now we will have a fight about who is gonna speak first. Sab ek saath bolte hai. :P I know it won't make sense, but still. 1… 2… 3…"

They all said together.

Ridz: I like Armaan!

Nikki: I like Abhi!

Muskaan: I like Rahul!

"What?" they yelled together and burst out laughing. What a confession!

"I feel better now. Apne best friend ko apni feelings bata ke achcha lag raha hai!" they all said together and then burst out laughing again.

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

The boys too were having a three way conversation on their phone.

"Ok main bata hoon first!" Armaan said. "I… I love Riddhima!"

"We know!" Abhi and Rahul said.

"You do? How? Kaise? Kab?"

"Hum andhe nahi hai." Rahul said.

"Aur behre bhi nahi." Abhi said.

"Oh! Ok!" Armaan said blushing a bit.

"Achcha main bolu?" Abhi asked.

"Hmmm… bol!"

"Umm… I like Nikki."

"Cool man! Tum dono… baat karte ho… but kabhi laga nahi ki you have fallen for her."

"Ya! Well. Chal Rahul tu bol."

"I like Muskaan. Expected tha na?"

"No!"

"Kyun?"

"You guys fight so much, that's why."

"Oh. Ok."

"We all can just hope for the best now!" They all said together and continued their talks.

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

Here! =D The next part is up and ready to go! Do comment and let me know how it was! 😊

Love you all
