Part 3
Padma walks in the room to call Riddhima down.Anjali gets up and helps Riddhima up.Riddhima's face was covered with her dupatta.They walk downstairs and the guy's family look at them walking down.Riddhima sits across from them.
"Armaan, yeh Riddhima hai." Shashank said.Armaan nods but he couldn't really see her face.
He looks around while his parents and Riddhima's parents talk.Armaan's eyes went up and he saw girls giggling and Riddhima's sister went back upstairs. Something that shocked him that Riddhima was upstairs.If Riddhima was upstairs then who was she?Armaan looks back at the girl and tries to look closer.He could kind of see her face through her dupatta and he realized that it wasn't Riddhima.He looks up and a sly smile appears on his face.Its all a prank to him but what they didn't know is that he can play pranks too.Armaan nudges his mom and she looks at him.
"Kya hua?" Ananya whispers to him.
"Yeh Riddhima nai hai," Armaan whispers back.
"Kya bakwaas kar rahe ho?" Ananya whisper yells to him.Armaan sighs and rolls his eyes.He gestures his mom to look up from his eyes.She looks up and sees Armaan.Her mouth opens in to an "o". She looks at Billy and gestures for him to look up.He was also shocked and looks at Armaan and Ananya.Armaan gives them a calm down look and decides to speak up.
"Main kuch kehna chatha hoon," Armaan said to Shashank and Padma.
Shashank and Padma look at him and from the corner of his eyes he could see the girls had stopped giggling and were making their way down.He saw them hide behind a wall.Armaan looks around and sees Riddhima's uncles, aunts, cousins looking at him."Main abhi Riddhima se shaadi karna chatha hoon." Shashank and Padma were shocked and look at each other.The girls became worried and look at each other.Riddhima gave them murderous look.She is so going to kill them.Its Muskaan sitting in front of him.Muskaan's eyes went wide when she heard Armaan say that.She thought it was enough and knew it was the right to reveal herself.
"Chaliye na," Armaan said getting up and was about to grab Muskaan's hand.
"Nai," Muskaan got up yelling and took the dupatta off her head.
"Muskaan," Padma said shocked to see her niece instead of her daughter.
"Yeh kya ho raha hai?" Shashank asked a little mad.
"Chacha ji," Nikki said.All of them turn their attention and see the girls standing there."Woh mera idea tha."
"Uncle, its okay.Mujhe pata chal gaya tha," Armaan said.Muskaan looks up at him suspicious and confused.
"Aap ko kaise pata chala?" Muskaan asked.Armaan gestures his head towards Riddhima.
"Maine usse upar dekh liya tha," Armaan said.Riddhima looks at him then looks down blushing.Muskaan charges towards Riddhima and Riddhima became scared.Muskaan gave Riddhima a hug.
"Thank god," Muskaan said.Riddhima laughs and hugs Muskaan back.
The girls went back upstairs and Riddhima sits down where Muskaan was sitting and it was across from Armaan.She could feel Armaan's gaze on her. She looks up and finds him looking at her.Riddhima looks back down and lifts her eyes to find him still looking at her.
"I think Armaan aur Riddhima ko akele main baat karni chaiye," Billy suggested.
"Ji bilkul," Shashank replies.
Padma hands Riddhima a tray with tea on it even though she told her mother before hand that is not going to take the tray with tea when they were alone. Padma didn't listen to her and just gave her a glare.They walk upstairs to the terrace and sit down.Armaan and Riddhima sat across from each other.Both of them were nervous and it felt awkward.They don't know each other but their parents know each other.
"Aap...ko...chai...chaiye," Riddhima asked looking at him.He looks up at her and shakes his head.
"Main coffee pee tha hoon," Armaan said.Riddhima looks down and nods.
"Main aap ke liye bana ke liye laati hoon," Riddhima said getting up.He stood up too.
"Nai its okay," Armaan said.Riddhima and Armaan sit back down.
"I'm sorry," Riddhima said in a low voice.Armaan looks at her a little confused.
"Kis liye?" He asked chuckling.She hasn't done anything wrong and she is apologizing.
"Woh jo mazaak hum ladkiyon ne neeche kiya tha," Riddhima said.Armaan laughs and Riddhima looks up at him.She noticed whenever he smiles or laughs he gets dimples which made him more cute.
"Its okay," he replies.Armaan looks at her and noticed how beautiful she looks. When he saw her upstairs he wasn't able to look away but had to.Both of them didn't know what to say anymore.
"Tum iss rishte khush ho?" Armaan asks.He didn't want to force Riddhima into anything.
"Main aap se sach keh sakti hoon?" Riddhima asked.Armaan looks at her puzzled and nods."Jab Papa aur Ma ne mujhe bataya ke woh meri shaadi aap se karana chathe hain, maine tab bhi haan keh diya tha." Riddhima was red now because of shyness and that she told him about her saying yes when her parents asked her the first time which is kind of embarrassing.Armaan smiles and looks down then looks up at her.
"Neeche chale?" He asked as he stood up.Riddhima nods and gets up too.They make their way towards the stairs but Armaan grabs her wrist.Riddhima gasps silently when she felt Armaan's hand come in contact with her skin.She looks up at him nervously."Tum bohut khoobsurat lag rahe ho." He whispered close to her face and walks downstairs.Riddhima blushes and smiles big.She follows him down.Armaan's parents pulled him to one side as Riddhima's parents pulled her to another side.
"Tum Armaan se shaadi karna chathi ho?" Shashank asked.Riddhima blushes and nods.
"Haan," she replies and runs upstairs with her sister and her cousins following her.
"Tum Riddhima se shaadi karoge?" Billy asked.Armaan looks at his parents and he knew that they wanted him to say yes.Riddhima wasn't a bad girl and Armaan knows he can't find a better girl than Riddhima.He nods.
"Main Riddhima se shaadi karne ke liye tayar hoon," Armaan said.Ananya hugs him and kisses his forehead.Billy hugs him.
"My son has grown up," Billy said laughing and Armaan laughs too.
They walk to Shashank and Padma who had huge smiles on their faces along with everyone else.Knowing by there faces they knew that it was a yes so they just cut to the chase and fed everyone sweets.Padma walks over to Armaan and feeds him a mithai.
"Thank you beta," Padma said smiling up at him.Armaan smiles at her.
"Kis liye?" He asked.
"Meri beti se shaadi karne ke liye kyun ke main jaanti hoon ke tumse koi acha ladka nai milega," Padma said.Armaan's smile deepened and hugs her.
Armaan looks up and sees Riddhima talking to her cousins.He could hear them squeal and giggling.Riddhima turns her head and looks down to see Armaan looking up at her.She blushes and looks away.She looks back and still finds him looking at her.Armaan winks at her then looks away.Riddhima's cheeks turn more red than before.
