Part 1
"Armaan!Armaan!" a lady's voice kept on saying.A man dressed in a suit looks at his mother annoyed because he has just come from work and his mother is already annoying him.
"Kya hua, Mom?" Armaan asked.The lady smiles and kisses his forehead.Armaan looks at his mom confused and sees his dad passing from behind.Armaan gives his dad a look asking him what is wrong with her.Billy just shrugs and walks away. Armaan rolls his eyes as his dad was never help sometimes.
"Chalo main tumhara khana laga deti hoon," she said and walks in the kitchen.
Armaan walks over to his dad who was busy looking through the DVDs they have.He taps him on the shoulder and his dad turns around.
"What the hell is wrong with Mom," Armaan whisper yells at his dad.
"Armaan, nice language." He said.Armaan sighs and rolls his eyes.
"Unse jaake baat kare," Armaan said.
"What!Main!" He whisper yells back.
"Yes aap," Armaan replies and pushes his dad into the kitchen.
Armaan's dad looks at Armaan before walking further in to the kitchen.He was nervous as he knew that she would yell at him if he told Armaan.She turns around and sees her glare making him gulp.
"Ananya, tum aise kyun behave kar rahe ho?" He said loud enough so Armaan could hear.
"Tum jaante ho, Billy." Ananya replies and walks to the table.Armaan's eyes go wide as he heard what his mom said.Billy turns his head and sees Armaan glaring at him as he shook his head too.Billy gulps and looks at Ananya.
"Ananya, please.Armaan mujhe aise dekh raha hai jaise woh meri jaan le lega," Billy whispers to Ananya.
"Acha hai.Mujhe aap se fursat mile gi," Ananya said walking back to the stove.Billy looks at her shocked then at Armaan."Armaan beta!Aa jao!Khana lag gaya hai!" Armaan walks in with his eyes on Billy.Billy sat down in his seat with his head down.
Ananya was at the counter with Armaan's plate.She smiles and puts a picture underneath his plate and walks to the table.She sets the plate in front of Armaan and takes her seat.
"Kam ho gaya," Ananya whispers to Billy.Billy looks at her then at Armaan who was eating his food.
Billy and Ananya started eating there dinner too.All three of them talked about how work is going and what is happening with jokes here and there.Armaan forgot about how his dad knew that what his mom was up to but even if he did remember they will tell him sooner or later when the time is right.
"Mom, mujhe aur degi." Armaan said.
"Ji bete," Ananya said and got with Armaan's plate.
Armaan grabs his glass of water and drinks it when his eyes landed on a picture. He picks it up and looks at his dad who was eating his food and his mom who was putting more food for him.
"Yeh tasveer kis ki hai?" Armaan asked looking at the picture.Ananya smiles but then puts it to a small smile and walks back to the table.
"Yeh hai Riddhima Gupta.Punjab main rehti hai," Ananya said putting the plate in front of Armaan."Usne apni padayi yahan ki hai lekin uske Ma aur Papa ko uski yaad aa rahi thi toh uno ne usse wapis bula liya." Armaan looks at his mom then back at Riddhima's picture.
She was smiling big dressed in a nice dress.It looked like that the picture was taken when they were at or leaving for a party.He noticed her long hair along with her hazel eyes and a sweet smile.
"Armaan, woh meri dost Shashank ki beti hai.Hum hamesha tum dono ki shaadi ke baare har waqt baat karte the.Tab bhi jab tum dono bache the," Billy included. Armaan looks at his dad.
"Hum usse abhi bhi baat karte hai," Ananya said.
"Toh jab mujhe aap dono ki awaaz aati hai raat ko aap Riddhima se baat karte hain?" Armaan asked.Both of them nod.
"Uska phone abhi thodi daer main aata hoga," Ananya informed."Aaj tum bhi usse baat karlo." Armaan looks at his mom with wide eyes.
"No way!Main nai usse baat kar raha," Armaan said getting up from the table.
"Acha baat nai lekin usse sun toh lo," Billy said grabbing Armaan's arm.
"Please," Ananya said.Armaan looks at his mom then his dad.He sighs and nods.
"Okay," he replies.
Armaan, Billy, and Ananya were in the master bedroom sitting on the tall and king size bed waiting for Riddhima's call to come.Armaan watched TV while he was waiting and his parents were whispering in the back which he ignored even though he swore that he heard his name at least twice along with Riddhima's.The phone rang and Ananya picks it up.
"Hello, Riddhima beta!" Ananya said enthusiastically.Armaan lowers the volume of the TV.
"Speaker pe lagao," Billy whispers.Ananya puts the phone on speaker and puts it on the bed in the middle of them three."Kaise ho Riddhima?"
"Main theek hoon," came her sweet voice that.Armaan looks at the phone then lifts up his eyes and sees them staring at him with a teasing smile.Armaan chuckles and shakes his head.
"Yahan pe Armaan bhi hai," Ananya said.
"Oh," came her reply.It sounded like she knew about this whole marriage because all her responses were short.It was time for her to leave so they bid goodbye and hung up.
"Riddhima, utni baatein nai kar rahe thi jitna woh karti hai," Ananya said trying to figure why Riddhima was giving short answers.
"Kyun ke Armaan jo betha va tha," Billy said.Armaan shakes his head and turns his attention back to the TV.
"Aap log bhi na," Armaan said.
"Armaan," Ananya said.
"Hm," he replies and turns his head to Ananya.
"Kya tum Riddhima se milo ge?" Ananya asked.
"Mom," Armaan said whining a little."Meri shaadi main abhi time hai."
"Sirf milo usse agar nai pasand aaye toh shaadi nai karna," Ananya said.Armaan looks at his mom and his dad.He could tell by their faces that they really wanted him to meet Riddhima.
"Fine.Main Riddhima se milo ga," he gave in.Ananya smiles and hugs Armaan.She kisses his forehead and caresses his hair.
"Main flight ke tickets book karta hoon," Billy said and gets his laptop.
Armaan looks at his parents who were discussing while Billy booked tickets.He looks down at Riddhima's picture which was laying on the bed.Armaan picks it up and holds it in front of him.Armaan observes the picture again and looks at his parents.Armaan wasn't ready to get married yet as he still has time to get married but his parents have been after him about getting married.Riddhima is his dad's daughter so they probably put more thought to his marriage that they picked Riddhima.As his mom said, at least meet her and if he doesn't like her, he doesn't have to marry her.
Two days later, Armaan and his parents are in sitting in the plane waiting for it to land in Punjab.Armaan is sitting behind his parents while they sat in front of him. A blond girl was sitting next to him and his mom kept on turning to look at Armaan if he was doing something mischievous with the girl.All Armaan did was shake his head at his mother.
