What do you want?(b)

A car comes to halt. The dead silence gets replaced with screeching noise of brakes. He comes out of car and scans the entire place. No one was there; the road was blocked with the rocks leaving no space to move forward. He waits patiently there for anyone to come. He keeps looking here and there to see if anyone is there but found none. So, he moves forward to shove these rocks so he can make his way.

He bent down to push the rocks aside when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Feeling weight on his shoulder armaan looks over his shoulder only to find 16 pair piercing eyes glaring at him.

****************

"What? He kissed you?????????" sapna shouts loudly making every head turned to them.

"shhh sapna don't shout" said ridhimaa trying to clam her down. Ridhimaa actually came to shop for few things needed in pooja. Anjali had some emergency in hospital so ridhimaa volunteered to shop for pooja. Market was near to sapna's office, so ridhimaa called her. Sapna also had her lunch time so they planned to meet at nearby caf.

"Oh sorry" said sapna realizing her banter "but ridhi how can he do this and how can u let him do this?"

Ridhimaa frowns at her "what do u mean sapna it was my fault?" her eyes almost popped out how can sapna even say that here the poor soul was crying over her miserable life and her best friend was blaming her for everything.

Sapna sighs trying to digest what she heard. Ridhimaa told her everything from the revenge thing to the kiss'.just everything. Sapna was also hell surprised with the sudden change of events.

Sapna sighs looking towards ridhimaa "so ab kya socha hai? Kya karegi tu?"

"I don't know sapna I m just so confused I just wanna get away from here" said ridhimaa wearily.

"But ridhimaa I still can't believe this that armaan wanted to take revenge I mean what kind of revenge is this? What exactly he wants from u?"

"Even I m confused about it sapna. He behaves so strangely I mean one moment he is so causal, normal and next second he is a complete stranger'.a complete different person."

"But ridhimaa tu saari jindagi toh aise nahi reh sakti naa, kuch na kuch toh karna padega"

"I don't know what to do sapna, I m stuck maine mamma papa ke liye es shadi ke liye haan kaha and now I don't know how to get out of this and itna sab kuch ho raha hai pehle shadi then parties pooja and now holi'time hi nahi mil raha thik se baithkar koi solution dhund ne ka"

Sapna puts her hand on ridhimaa's squeezing it gently "don't worry ridhimaa main hu na tere saath, dono milkar koi na koi solution nikal hi lenge"

Ridhimaa nods her head sighing "by the way holi se yaad aaya kal shaam ko tujhe mallik mansion aana hai holika dahan ki pooja hai di keh rahi thi ki es baar holi bhi mallik mansion me hi manayenge." To which sapna nods her head slowly.

'I guess its time to meet you Mr. Armaan Mallik' thoughts sapna to herself determined.

*****************

"God, what I should do with this boy? Why can't he let me be in peace for sometime? Abhi abhi itna bada hadsa hua aur yeh ladka phir se, kitni baar samjhaya lekin koi farak hi nahi padta"

Atul looked up at his father pacing worriedly. He gets up and puts his hand over sanjay's shoulder to calm him down "dad plz aap shant ho jaeye aapka B.P high ho jayega"

"This is all because of you. Sab teri hi galti hai"

"Dad main? Maine kya kiya hai?" frowned atul. It was an hour since he and sanjay came back home. Sanjay was already worried for armaan, he tried his cell from office but it was out of coverage. When they came back sanjay directly went to armaan's room and found no one there. He asked ridhimaa about it who told him that she didn't have any idea as she can't use his jogging excuse now he haven't come back home. They called everywhere his friends, business associates, all the offices everywhere but he was nowhere.

They were still trying to locate him when they received a call from one of the supervisor from the sight. Atul and sanjay went to the sight; it was the same land on which they had fight last night. Reaching there, they both were baffled, they saw that the goons were clearing the place due to which the way to another sight was blocked.

They asked supervisor about it who told them that armaan was there in the morning as one of the workers has seen him. They talked to the worker but he had no idea about where was armaan now. They even tried to talk to the goons but they never uttered a word.

Sanjay frowned at the fact that armaan was there on the sight alone with this goons. He didn't understand what happened all of sudden that the goons where clearing up. Did armaan fight with them but then there was not a single scratch on anyone's face and they were visibly looking terrified.

"Papa'.papa aap plz yahaan baithiye" anajli makes him sit on the couch "and plz papa relax aap tension mat lijiye he will be fine" ridhimaa handles him a glass of water to drink.

"kaise shaant ho joun yeh ladka" anjali puts her hand on his shoulder "papa aap relax kijiye, armaan ko kuch nahi hoga"

Sanjay shakes his head "sab kuch is atul ki wajah se hua hai, arre apne chote bhai ka dhyan nahi rakh sakta tu"

"Dad'aap'.har baar mujhe hi'''.dad koi bachach toh hai nahi aur jab wo aapki baat nahi manta toh meri kya sunega" winned atul why he has to be on hit list of his father.

"dekha'.dekha es anjali kaise baat kar raha hai yeh" anjali rubs her hand gently on sanjay's shoulder and glares at atul who was about to retort and shut his mouth receiving her glare. He was at receiving end.

Ridhimaa who was listening to it quietly, was surprised by the way sanjay was blaming atul and the way everyone was worried about armaan. It was true that he was not home yet but still he was not a kid to be worried like this.

Ridhimaa and anjali were near sanjay as he nearly fainted due to the high B.P. Atul was continuously trying armaan's number which was still out of coverage. He wondered where armaan can be. They were all worried to death. Not knowing what to do and how to handle the situation.

They all became alert when sanjay's phone bugged sanjay didn't say anything only listen to the person on other end. Anjali, atul and ridhimaa all were looking at sanjay waiting for his response. When sanjay didn't said anything atul asked him.

"Dad kiska phone hai? Aur aap chup kyun hai?" sanjay looks at him and simply handles him the mobile and went straight up to his room. Atul looked at sanjay's retreating back and puts the phone to his ear'

"Hello''what armaan oh ok ok'.fine'.thanx tejas'.bye"

**************

"Armaan" atul saw him entering the house, coming forward he hugs armaan "armaan where were you? Hum sab kitne pareshan ho gaye the"

"Bhai I m fine I was just caught up with some work'tejas ne aapko phone toh kiya tha na'wo actually mere phone ke network me kuch problem thi toh maine tejas se kahaa tha ki wo jaise hi network rang me aa jaye aapko phone kar de"

"Arre haan but tu tha kahaa? Tera phone bhi nahi lag raha tha aur us supervisor ne bataya ki tu sight pe gaya tha hum sab itna ghbra gaye the and dad ke B.P bhi high ho gaya tha"

"What? Is he alright?" armaan asked shocked and turn to look at sanjay but he was nowhere in sight. Atul puts his hand on armaan's shoulder "ammy dad is in his room and very angry with you"

Closing his eyes he sighs under his breath. It will be hell of a task to face his father. Sanjay can be a really whiny soul and making him understand anything is like climbing Mount Everest.

Sanjay was sitting on his bed when he saw him peeking through the door and then entering. Armaan nervously walks up to bed with a nervous smile on his face "dad'.how'how r u? Bhai ne bataya that your B.P went high" he sits on the end corner of bed near sanjay's foot who has his face turned to other side.

Getting no response armaan continues "dad aap naraz hai mujhse?"

Still no response.

Getting up armaan went up to him and hugs him tightly "I m sorry dad'I didn't mean to but'.I was caught with some work. I tried to call u be there were some network problems so when tejas met me I sent him here and told him to call you as soon as possible as you all must be worried. I'I m really sorry dad plz forgive me plz" he tightens his hold feeing sanjay's arms around him.

"U will never do this" It was an order rather than question. "I was so worried about you"

They part from hug, armaan saw tears in sanjay's eyes and hold sanjay's hand in his "I won't dad promise now plz dad stop worrying and take rest" to which sanjay nods his head. He was at peace now. When tejas called him, sanjay was at relief knowing that armaan was fine but still sanjay was angry with armaan's stubborn nature and sanjay's worry replaced by anger. Armaan was his apple'.apple of his eyes he can't stay angry with him for too long and armaan knew that and takes full advantage of this too. Armaan knows that sanjay loves him to much to be angry with him.

**********

Ridhimaa enters the room followed by a servant with food try in hands. Ridhimaa was trying to stay away from him. Keeping the food not the table servant left the room while ridhimaa turn to wardrobe to get her night suit. She was now at ease as deep down she was worried about him. He went in morning telling her to make excuse to his father and she did it when sanjay asked about him on breakfast table.

Later she went to market as anjali had some emergency at hospital so ridhimaa went to market to shop for holi. When she came back anjali told her all this. They asked each and every servant in the house about his arrival but they told them that they had seen armaan going out in the morning but not coming back.

Seeing atul, sanjay and anjali this worried she also got worried. They way they were behaving she was scared for him. But she shook the thought away saying she was only worried seeing the entire family members worried. She convinced herself that she didn't feel anything for him. It was just sanjay's health which sacred her.

He was sitting on the bed with his head buried in his laptop, he was so engross in that he didn't realize when ridhimaa entered the room. Sighing ridhimaa turn to him to just tell him to have his dinner afterall it was her responsibility to make him have his dinner. Otherwise anjali will kill her for not taking care of him and then her rapid fire round will also start. At this moment ridhimaa was not ready for any drama or question answer session.

"Armaan khana kha lo" she said plainly and without waiting for his response walked to the washroom to change. Armaan, who was engrossed in his work glance at her retreating back and turn to his attention back to the screen. After changing when ridhimaa stepped out of washroom she saw the plate still at its place untouched.

She exhaled with annoyance. 'What he wants at this moment of night?' Thought ridhimaa and made her way towards the bed and stood 10 steps away from him.

"Armaan tumne abhi tak khana nahi khaya? Maine kahaa tha na ki khana kha lena?" she was already annoyed and to add more to it he didn't replied in fact he didn't even look up this time. Ridhimaa greet her teeth as anger was rushing in her veins. She was hell tired and now Mr. Husband was throwing tantrums.

"Armaan tum sun rahe ho?"

Still no reply.

She closes her eyes to clam down and then opened it in few seconds. Covering up the distance she walked up to him and with one swift moment she shut his laptop. Armaan looks up at her confused and a bit annoyed too.

"What is your problem? Can't u see I am working?" he opened in again and ridhimaa shut it again and "armaan pehle khana kha lo bad me kar lena apna kaam"

"I don't wanna eat ok now plz stop disturbing me"

"Armaan look'"

"No u look stop poking ur nose in my matters and mind ur own business" ridhimaa's nose flare up in anger.

"Excuse me mujhe koi bhi koi shauk nahi hai tumhe khana khilane ka mujhe di ne kaha isliye main keh rahi hoon mujhe koi farak nahi padta tum khana kao ya nahi"

Armaan was about to restore when he saw a growing silhouette near the door "oow baby I can't eat mere haath me to chot lagi hai na and its really paining, I can't even move it and I m very tired too" he said clutching his right hand with his left, making puppy face. Ridhimaa chokes her brows at him, confused with the sudden change of his tone. She was still trying to understand when she heard third person's voice'.

"Toh kya hua ridhimaa tumhe khana khila degi kyon ridzi?" ridhimaa saw anjali entering the room with glass filled of yellow contents. Ridhimaa looked at anjali wide eyed.

"but di'."

"What ridzi dekho na bechara ke haathe me chot lagi hai kitna pain ho raha hoga come on tum armaan ko khaan khila dena okey and armaan" anjali turns her attention from shocked ridhimaa to smug armaan "yeh haldi wala milk hai tumhare liye pi lena isse tumhare dard kam ho jayega okey?"

Armaan makes a face at it and nods his head defeating as he knows he has to drink it no matter what. After the calling it night anjali retires to her room. Ridhimaa stood there steel when she heard him.

"What happened wifey dear mujhe khana khilane ka bohto shauk tha na then what r u waiting for I m here all ready'come on I am hungry now" he said with the stupid grin plastered on his face.

Ridhimaa glare at him, sitting down next to him she takes the plate and keep it in her lap, making a morsel she moves it towards him, which he took gladly. It was going quite normal and armaan had finished the entire plate contents without saying anything or doing anything stupid which was a relief to ridhimaa. Ridhimaa dare not look up at his eyes as she knew he was staring at her. Which was somewhat making her self concisions'uncomfortable.

Ridhimaa forwards the last morsel and hisses slowly with a gasp as armaan bites her finger. She looked at him mouth hanging whereas he winks at her while getting up.

*******************

Next day, the entire day went in blur, ridhimaa and anjali were handling all the preparations for holi pooja and holi too. Sanjay and atul went to office early as they had to come back early for holi dahan. Ridhimaa was more than happy as she was busy entire day and never seen armaan and neither he called her for anything. She was hell excited as holi was her favorite festival. She just loves the colors and all dhoom dhaaka and moreover she will be celebrating it with her entire family including her extended family and excluding armaan.

Anjali was animated all the time, handling each task with such a perfection that sent ridhimaa in deep thoughts that how effortlessly anjali has aquatint everything. It seems like she was always part of this family. This was the place where she truly belonged. Due to all this chaos the yester tension was long forgotten. But here the surprise element was armaan.

He was visibly disturbed about something and as his nature he disturbed everyone around him. Ajit greeted ridhimaa early morning on the door with the pile of files in his hand and some carried by the driver. Ridhimaa asked him about it and he lefts to armaan's study saying armaan wanted to see something important. Ridhimaa frowned for a minute what was with him? What armaan wants to see at this moment of morning?

But then he never came out of his room as the entire day passed. Ridhimaa saw ajit making calls, working in double speed, sometime explaining something and then running to office to get some documents and all. Ridhimaa was less worried as far as armaan was not annoying her.

Soon it was almost time of pooja anjali sent ridhimaa to get ready as it was her first holi in mallik mansion after her marriage, rolling her eyes ridhimaa went to her room. Sanjay and atul were also back from the office.

Ridhimaa frowned fiddling with the dories of her blouse, she was still trying to tie them but it seemed like impossible. She saw armaan clad in while kurta pajama busy jelling his hairs in front of mirror. Paying no attention towards her at all, they were both in the room from past 20 min getting ready in silence. Initial ridhimaa thought to keep her distance from him but to her surprise he didn't say anything to her, he was behaving as if she doesn't exist.

He messages his hairs whistling happily, ridhimaa looked at his reflection in mirror. He was looking nothing but deadly'.killer even in his traditional attires. Ridhimaa was starring at him when her gaze met his. He saw her looking at him in awe and smirks to himself. He knew what knee weakening effect he has on his opposite sex and his wife was no exception to it.

He winks at her causing her to shift her gaze uncomfortably. Ridhimaa smacks herself mentally for gawking at him like this, hearing the foot steps ridhimaa thought armaan will approach her but to her surprise he passes by her and makes his way out of the room. Ridhimaa looks at his retreating back with mouth open and stomps her foot'

"idiot'moron itni bhi sense nahi hai ki thodi help kar de'.well wo kyun help karega uska kaam toh sirf durso ko pareshan karna hai aur yeh stupid dori bhi nahi tie ho rahi'.di bhi pata nahi kahaan hai'. Yeh sari kum thi pareshan karne ke liye jo yeh blouse bhi" she was blabbering to her.

"Need help" it was more a statement. Ridhimaa turn to him who was leaning to door with his trade mark dimple smile. Ridhimaa rolls her eyes at him widening his smile. He knew how much she gets irritated with him.

"No thanks mujhe tumse koi help nahi leni"

Armaan shrugs his shoulder "as u wish" and turn to go when she heard amar "sir anjali mam is calling you"

Armaan turns to look at ridhimaa and then again turns to amar "you go we are coming"

Walking up to ridhimaa who was still struggling with the threads he simply ties them. Ridhimaa looked at him through mirror feeling his cold touch on her skin. She felt vibrant sensation rushing her veins. Tying the knot properly he looks up and found her starring at him. She was looking so beautiful'.so delicate and the look she was giving him as if asking him for something.

He kept starring at her for few seconds "aise dekhti rahogi toh mujhse pyar ho jayega"

Ridhimaa comes out of her momentary trance as his words register in her system.

"By the way welcome" added armaan folding his arms to his chest. Ridhimaa realizes that he was waiting for her to thank him for his help but he doesn't deserve her thanks.

"No thanks'.waise bhi maine tumhari help nahi mangi thi tumhe hi dusron ki life aur unke matter me interfere karne ki aadat hai"

Armaan smiles at her "Kisi aur ka toh pata nahi but mujhe tumhari har baat me behad interest hai aur agar tumhe meri help nahi chahiye toh okey" he leans a little and pulls one of the string untying them.

Chucking at her expressions he makes his way toward the door only to turn near the exit "come soon" winking at her he zooms out.

"Armaan mallik" armaan stops at his tracks. He was passing the corridor when he heard his name being called.

He looks at her scrutinizing her as she stood in front of him. He was about to say something but she never allowed him to'

"Main tumhe hi dhund rahi thi"

"My goodness waise bhi khubsurat ladkiyan aksar mujhe dundti hai" to which she just rolled her eyes "bohot sari misunderstandings hai tumhe apne baare me"

Armaan looks at her brows raised "well main sapna hoon ridhimaa ki friend"

"janta hoon" he replied simply.

Sapna looks at him for one minute and continues "look I just came here to inform u that if u think ridhimaa is alone and can't do anything than u r wrong as I m with her"

Not able to control he laugh at her "I m so scared, marne ka irada hai kya fatty"

Sapna's mouth fell open at this "u moron agar tumne mujhe fatty bola na toh dekh lena mujh se bura koi nahi hoga"

"Actually u r right I fully agree with u tumse bura koi hoga bhi nahi" she gasp at him and he simply hugs her.

"How r u doing fatty?" he parts from hug "and how's aunty?"

"She is fine'how's ur hand?" she asks looking at his hurt hand.

"Oh really now plz fatty yeh concern show karne ki koi jarurat nahi hai tum itne days se Mumbai me ho but u didn't came to meet me even once"

"Armaan''it's all because of u"

"Me???" armaan was shocked.

"Yeah u, I mean look at this what u have done'I mean u and ridhimaa'" armaan cuts her in between "fatty don't say anything we have talked enough on this matter plz nothings gonna change my mind"

"I know I know but still armaan don't just hurt her she had already gone through a lot"

"Hold on tum uski side le rahi ho, u r my friend or hers?"

"dono ki armaan tum bhi na look armaan tum bhi mere doat ho aur wo bhi and main nahi chahti ki tum dono me se koi bhi hurt ho" she tried to make him understand but he was armaan mallik afterall.

"Avoid it fatty u don't love me that much"

Sapna smiles looking at his pouted lips. He looks so cute sulking like this "tum bhi na armaan ek number ke nautaki ho" she shakes her head smiling at his cuteness and suddenly becomes serious "aur waise bhi armaan tumne ho mere liye kiya hai us ehsaan ka badla toh main zindagi bhar nahi chuka sakti"

"Itch hey fatty what's this ehsaan and all yaar we are friends right so ek friend hi toh dusre friend ki help karta hai na, I mean agar kal mujhe kisi help ki jarurat padegi toh tum nahi karogi kya?"

"No armaan I m always at ur side whatever may be the condition"

"I know it sapna" wiping her tears his hugs her. He knew what exactly she meant by it. She was helping ridhimaa he knew that she didn't want to disclose their friendship to ridhimaa as sapna doesn't wanted to loose her friend and armaan never minded as he knew if he asked sapna to be at his side then she will come without asking anything but he never wanted to push her for anything.

The pooja was already started and one by one all couples performs the ritual. Armaan and ridhimaa has also done the pooja so they were just standing there and looking at the fire.

Ridhimaa looks at armaan who as standing at the other side of fire. He wrinkles her brows looking at his pale face. He was just starring at fire with blank expression but his eyes were holding something. Something' Something very strong as if something was hurting him'.paining him. Pain'.is that pain that was in his eyes? She was still pondering over it when armaan slips from there and ridhimaa kept starring at his retreated back.
