This is Life#2--AR ff part 27A-B pg 111( 04/26/13) - Page 74

i just happen to come across your ff yesterday n believe me i'm just hooked to it. i read all da parts. you write really well. i've loved da whole of it. the start was soo good, i mean Ridzi coming back to India, meeting Armaan for da first time and den all of a sudden her marriage scene. i feel that it was wrong on the behalf of their parents to force dem for da wedding, although it was good in the long run but still dey shud hav given dem the time needed. Ridz being guilty of putting her family thru all da pain was so sad, the family over did it, dey didn't hav to be rude, dey cud just ask her to get married, n here Armaan the great blames all on Riddhima. his words on their first nite made me cry, i mean, ok he wasnt willing for dis wedding but still so wasn't Riddhima, dat didnt give him an edge to lead her. he was being so mean to her at the breakfast, saying dat he hoped da apples kept her way from him. no wonder Ridz felt bad, anyone wud. it was so sweet of Ridz to have tolerated him widout complaining & taking care of his family. i adore da bond Rahul & Ridz share. She is so thoughtful & caring about this family dat she wants to bring all of dem together as a happy family, n she accomplishes dis widout any greed. Ridz having feelings for Armaan but Armaan is so egoistic dat he wud neva consider his feelings. his accident changed a lot. the way Armaan spoke to her dat her dad wud get married to another guy if he died, was so insensitive of him. he takes dat to be a joke or wat? n den how cud he just burst out at her after his confrontation wid his parents. n look at him, he says he's regretting marrying her, i cud feel Ridzi's pain as she was thinking dat things are changing between dem but his words are so harsh dat dey always break her heart n yet she never complains n keeps doing things for others. she's a pure blessed soul. n now how cud Armaan ask her to stay back after yelling at her, he didn't even apologise, n i think it's Ridz's fault too, she never makes him realize his mistake. i hope she gives him a tough time now after returning back from the meeting.

cud i plz ask you to add me to ur pm list for da ff. i'l send u a buddy request, so plz do add me in, i wud love to read more on how wud Armaan's reaction be on seeing Sid, as already ddin't like his name.

thanx,

Nimra.

Riddhima goes to the Malik house' sigh' please god I hope the environment is much better then the way I left it. she opens the door and sees the whole family sitting together laughing. What in the world'. Riddhima has a shocked come disbelieve expression on her face.

Ni: looks towards Riddhima.. that exactly the face I thought you would have when you saw all of us together. She gives her a hug.. you did it Ridzi you succeeded in your mission.. she whispers in Riddhima's ear.

Riddhima smiles and says hi to everyone'

Anj: Ridzi!!!!!

Riddhima curses her self.. how can she forget that anjie had come with her.. anjie is standing behind her fuming' why are you scaring poor Atul tum na!!! goes to confront her.

Just as anjie approaches her Riddhima's phone rings.. phew now this is what you call saved by the bell no ring in this case. Be right back di' and run in the kitchen'.

Anj: Riddhima ruk!!!!

R: oh' well im fine.. how are you and when are you guys coming?

Ab: soon soon.. ok got to run last min packing ' and remember next time this happens I wont talk to you.

Riddhima goes to AR's old room now that Armaan can walk and he's much better they can have their own room back.. Armaan also follows Riddhima in the room.

AR Room

Riddhima'.

Armaan what do you want? And why are you following me?

A: riddhima I need to talk to you

R: but I don't want to talk to you!

A: yaar I'm sorry, I know I said a bit too much the other day but I couldn't help it.. I'm sorry plz forgive me.. na plzzz'..

R: no no Armaan, who am I to get mad or to forgive you . after all you don't care about anything but yourself ( she walks away but Armaan pulls her towards him)

A: I said im sorry.. please don't be mad anymore.

Both are staring in each other's eyes.. Armaan's eyes are pleading to riddhima to forgive him.

R: sigh.. Fine I forgive you.

A: smiles Really?

R: hmm' now let me go.. armaan lets her go while he goes downstairs riddhima goes and changes'.

N: ok so catering and invites are all covered the decorations are under all of our responsibilities and the entertainment quota is under ridzi, muski, and anjie' so what else is left?

Anjie: the RINGSSS?

A: champ me and Rahul will get them so all that's left it to start the decorations'.

Riddhima is playing around with the spoon and frequently looking at the front door.

Ra: bhabhi why are you holding a spoon and who are you waiting for?

R: Rahul you will find out in a little while.. where is mama and them she said they will be here for 6 and its 6:15 and they are still not here'.

Just them Padma shanky, and nani enter' riddhima runs to greet them 1^st' nani how are you? (hugs her)

Nani: kaisi hai meri bachi and what is this you didn't even wait for me to return and came here!

R: nahi nani, I wanted to wait but you know mama said that I have to leave she didn't even offer me anything to eat' you know how hungry I was L

Nani: Padma'?

Sh: riddhima how was the conference? Riddhima hugs her dad it was great and she goes to hug her mama and grabs the container that was in her hands, without even caring she opens it and sniffs it like a mad dog'.

R: yumm this smell's soo good she starts to dig her spoon in the halwa her mother made her.. she's jumping up and down savouring each bite.. mama you're the best cook ever' yum yum yum' :D

P: takes the container from riddhima.. riddhima you're married now yet your childishness is not gone what will Armaan and the rest think????

Armaan is amazed to see this side of riddhima actually all the Malik's + nikki are surprised seeing riddhima like this'

Anjie: whispers to Armaan: useful tip if ridzi ever gets upset with you or you want to make her happy. Give her a bowl of mom made gajar ka halwa and she will go crazy for it'

After dinner

R: di did you get to talk to muski she went home and didn't even call.. I hope everything is alright?

Anjie: I did talk to her and she's not feeling well she's got a fever but Arjun said she's going to be fine and that they 're all coming next week.

Ra: yeh Arjun khon hai? And muskann's sick' but wait a minute why do I care?...

Armaan nudges Rahul.. what happened to you?

Ra: nothing.

R: I know di I miss arjun as well' one thing is for sure' your marriage is certainly going to being people more closer' I haven't seen arjun since the last time he came to France and that was a longgg time ago'.
