Chapter 24
Fiza was cuddling her niece when a huge bouquet decorated of white lillies was delivered into the room.
"Whoa Jiju….aapka koi dosth bahut khush hain I guess" Fiza said giggling.
"Yeh kaun dosth hain" Raj said checking the name tag.
"Armaan Malik" Raj read aloud.
Riya and Raj passed a knowing smile to Fiza who blushed.
"Armaan Malik…who tho tumhara boss hain na Fiza" her mom asked.
"Yes mom….he said he will visit…shayad" Fiza replied trying to brush off the topic but at the moment Armaan entered. Fiza's heart skipped a beat looking at him.
How does someone manage to look so handsome always Fiza thought.
"Hi everyone….I am Armaan…Fiza's friend" Armaan said giving them a dashing smile making Fiza's heart beat faster.
"Friend huh….but she told us you were" Fiza's father said doubtfully.
"Boss….yes I am her boss too…but more of a friend I guess….kyun Fiza" Armaan eyed her.
Fiza blushed further and turned her gaze back at the baby.
Fiza father narrowed his eyes at Armaan
"Congrats you guys….for hitting double bonanza" Armaan shook Raj's hand ignoring the Mr. Sharma's looks.
He went over to Riya to look at the baby boy resting in her arms.
"He is gonna be real handsome when he grows up I guess" Armaan commented.
"Thank you…wanna take him" Riya offered.
"Errm am not sure…he is so tiny" Armaan hesitated.
"Here I will help you" Fiza offered.
Fiza gave her niece to her mom and took her nephew from Riya. She gently kept him in Armaan's arm.
"He is so cute" Armaan said softly.
Fiza smiled at the caring gentle expression on Armaan's face. It was surprising that the fiery man who had kissed her forcefully could be this gentle too.
"Well I would like to see the princess too" Armaan said .
"Sure I will bring her" Fiza went to take her niece.
Fiza came with the baby and showed her to Armaan.
"She is a real charmer I say….she surely will have people wrapped around her little finger" Armaan complimented.
They heard a click noise and turned to see
That Anky had clicked a photo of them with the babies.
Anky gave a wicked smile saying.
"Picture perfect"
Sur and Nidha giggled and hi fived.
"Anky that's not fair" Fiza glared at her buddy. Anky put out her tongue.
Fortunately for Fiza her father had gone out to take a call.
"Well Fiza di you are coming for tonights party na" Nidha asked.
"Nidha sweety please understand…I want to be here…its been only a short while only but these two have got me completely hooked" Fiza looked with fondness at the babies.
"Oh come on Fiz….they are not going anywhere….they will be at your home only na….Riya Di leaves for abroad only three months later"Anky tried persuading her friend.
"Are we speaking of the Khuranna's party" Armaan enquired remembering the last disastrous one.
"Yep….Jay and Neel has invited us all" Nidha filled in.
"Fiza they are right….you can spent a few more time here and head to the party" Riya suggested.
"Fiza beta…go enjoy with your friends" Fiza's mom urged.
"Okay….but I will come back early" Fiza gave in.
Armaan handed the baby back to Riya and bid farewell.
"Fiza can I speak to you for a moment" Armaan asked.
"Sure" Fiza handed the baby to Sur.
They went out of the room.
"Take care this time….if you wanna go early ask
Call me I'll pick you up…but please don't head out alone….am not sure if I will attend the party or not" Armaan warned her.
"Thank you Armaan I will take care" Fiza smiled at his concern.
"Bye" Armaan bid farewell.
Fiza turned to get in and found her Dad gazing sharply at her.
