***

Part 1 : Past v/s Present

Riddhima watched as Anjali paced around from the wardrobe to the mirror for the unteempth time,trying to decide a dress to wear and liking none at all. Either one was "too dull" or "too shiny" or maybe "its making me look fat!" or "black isn't my colour..uff!" etc etc. She didn't know her sister could be so choosy about her clothes. Riddhima knew Anjali to be confident,someone who had a excellent fashion sense,and knew what looked good on her..and could carry out those very nicely. What the hell had Armaan done to her?

She didn't like it.Not a bit of it. Everything was wrong. She didn't like the effect Armaan was having on her sister..Like,was it necessary that ARMAAN only had to Anjali's boss? Was it necessary that Anjali had to have a crush on him from the very first meeting? Why Why? Why did all this have to happen? For a second..she reprimanded herself. It shouldn't bother her, what he was doing with his life..It had been 2 years since they broke up,so yeah..she shouldn't care. But No,It was the matter of her sister this time! She had some responsibility as a elder sis,afterall...she had to protect Anjali from all those flings and stuff! Riddhima frowned at her thoughts. Had she just made Armaan the super-sexy gorgeous-eyed dangerous villian ? Oh no wait. Only Dangerous villian. She wanted to pull her hairs out. Damn you Armaan Mallik!

Her mind indulged in memories as she stared out at the window. Gradually, Anjali's voice faded away in the background..

He scratched his head with his pencil,yawning once and then groaning. Business Economics had to be the most boring thing ever at 9 am in the morning. His final exams were a week away, and Armaan knew that he had to study..otherwise he had doubts whether he would pass,and set up a company of his own,which he always dreamed of.

But dude,this was so annoying. Why the hell do they have to give exams..and on,how to make contact with companies,how do you raise your profits,investments..blah blah,it was pissing him up. He needed a distraction,at that moment. How about a coke,or a game on his PC or maybe-

"Armaan?",a voice called out. His heart leaped. It was a voice he knew more than anyone else's.
"Hey!",he replied cheerfully,walking up to her. Thats when he realised how stunning she looked. She wore a simple light blue churidaar,with her hair left open,and with simple stud earrings,and minimal make-up. She was so pretty,he thought. And he was damn lucky.
"Armaan?",she called again,with a hint of shock in her voice.

"Hmm?",he replied dazedly,still staring at her.
"Uhm..Glasses?",she said. Thats when it hit him. He was wearing his glasses. He would always wear contact lenses to look "cool",but when at home,he would balance it with his glasses,so that no damage would be done to his eyes. He'd thought noone would ever know about it. But his girlfriend knowing about it..What the hell !!
"SHIT!F man!",he turned away quickly and put away his glasses.Then he looked at her and smiled,carefully.
"Riddhima?"
"Hm?I'm listening..",she said,smiling slightly.

"T-they..you know..weren't mine..Have you ever,ever seen glasses on me? No na? Its..its Mom's!"
Riddhima eyebrows rose in curiosity,"Uh-huh? Its Deepti Aunty's? But..Armaan..Don't you rememver telling me proudly that Deepti Aunty never had spectacles and never needed them?"
Armaan mentally kicked himself. Did he have to tell her that! "Errr..Uhm,you know,like..Yeah..but,but..she got them..Re-recently.."
"Accha.",her head moved up and then down as a understanding," Okay then..why are you wearing them?"
"Uhm..For..For Fun!"

"Fun?",Riddhima enquired,"Really Armaan,when did you start taking wearing glasses as 'Fun' ?"
"Erm...Uhm..You know.."
"I don't know anything,Mr.Armaan Mallik. Care to tell me,whos glasses are those?"
He understood in her look that his fooling list had gone too far. Sighing,he replied,"Mine."

Riddhima stared at him in silence for a while and then burst out laughing. Armaan threw up his hands in frustration and said,rolling his eyes,"Yeah,Yeah..Like whatever. Laugh,Laugh,Laugh all you want!"

"Aww baby..",Riddhima said,going towards him,"listen naaa.."
"Go away..",he groaned,turning away his head.
With great difficulty,Riddhima wound her hands around his neck and pulled his face to see her,"Don't you wanna know why I was laughing?"
"I know that..",he said annoyed,"Because I look Funny,geeky and stupid with my glasses!"
"Oh no..I was laughing,because for the first time,Armaan Mallik didn't look neither hot nor sexy NOR any of those stupid,geeky whatever...he looked extremely cuteee.."
The way she said it made him smile and he said,softly,"Really?"

"Yeah.",she replied,smiling,"Just like Harry Potter."
"Uh..",his nose srunched up,"Please.Anyone but not that guy."
"You know na I'm crazy about him!"
"Yeah,crazy over a kid.."
"Armaan!"
"Okay,but I hate him,DUDE!"
"But get into the depth of the situation...I said you looked as cute as Harry Potter,so...you know what it means?"
"Uhm,no?",he said still in his perplexed state.

Riddhima leaned closer to him,tightening her hold as he casually slipped his hands around her waist,"It means..that..I'm crazzy about you.."
Armaan's face went a little pink as he dimpled and said after a silence,"I...Don't know what to say.."
"Well..Sometimes words aren't needed..",she replied softly,touching his forehead with her own and sighing.
Armaan smiled at their closeness,"Do you know how beautiful you are?"
Riddhima grinned,"As a matter of fact,I do. And thats the reason you're with me,right?",she laughed along with him as she winked.

"Di,I'm leaving!",Anjali's voice brought her to the present.
Suddenly,something Riddhima,"Anji !! wait,I'm coming with you."
"Huh?Why? What happened to your car?"
"No uhm..",she coughed fakely,trying to cook up a reason,"Well,I got a call yesterday,and I came to know that the company you're working with..we..are most probably talking about a business deal together,so you know..I would like to talk to your boss.."

"Uhm..",she shrugged,half-heartedly,not too happy with the reply,"Okay...lets go then.."
"You look good,by the way.",Riddhima said,with a smirk. She totally did,with her formal half-skirt and pink formal shirt,with black pumps. Smart,and sexy..Armaan would be throughly impressed.
She sniffed,bringing herself back to reality. She was going to talk to Armaan. Not to see what her sister was wearing. And why suddenly had she remembered their little cozy moment? Urgh..she was going crazy.
"Really?Thanks!",Anjali replied brightly as they got into her car.

They reached the office soon. The big sign of "Dhanraaj Empire" adorned the gate,and thats when Riddhima understood why she hadn't known about Armaan's company. It was named after his late grandfather,whom he loved a lot. How sweet.

"How sweet my foot!",Riddhima muttered to herself angrily. She was getting it all wrong.
"Di? We're here.",Anjali said. And she saw the best cabin door in the whole office,with the label,Armaan Mallik.Riddhima shook her head at the name. Oh,it had been long.

"Ah,Anjie! Come on in!",she heard His voice call. His husky voice,the same charming-
"Damn it!",she muttered to herself again,hitting her head.
"Sir,someone's come to see you.."
"Not Sir,Sweetheart..Its Armaan for you...and really?Who is it?"

Sweetheart ke bacche! Dikhati hu tujhe!,she fumed in her mind.Sweetheart? HOW DARE HE! Her sister..Fine she knew he was charming and flirty,but flirting with her sister INFRONT of her? Gosh,himmat toh dekho! Swearing in her breath,and seeing that Anjali was staring at him dreamily,which she hated,she herself came infront of her and said,"Its me,Mr.Mallik."

Armaan's face went blank and he quickly composed himself,and with a warm smile,he said,"Anjie would you mind leaving us alone for a while?Its important.." Anjali blushed and nodded,going out quickly.
Armaan looked at her till she was out of sight and then turned to Riddhima,"This is a surprise.",he said,with the same charm and warmth she had missed for 2 years after their breakup.

She nodded,bringing herself back to present,"Well,it wasn't meant to be a surprise.",she sid,curtly.
"Really,Really now Riddhima..We meet after 2 years,2 years of no contact,2 years after our...",he trailed off to himself and then they both turned away from each other,embaressed at the sudden change of situation.
"I..I'm sorry.",he apologised quickly,"Yes,so,what good work have I done,Madame,that you grace your steps back to Mumbai?Missed me so much?"
Riddhima shot him a glare,which wiped off his flirtatious smile,indicating that she was here for some other work,"Miss you..uh,not really.",she said with attitude,"I had to talk to you."

Armaan looked at her silently for a minute,as if trying to read her thoughts. His blue eyes bore into her emrald-green ones,as if trying to convey something..his eyes held a peculiar warmth that she always loved,and it made her relax. Her anger slowly began to die away,and she realised in a jolt..she had missed him,after all..hadn't she? He-

Riddhima blinked and turned away. Armaan sighed to himself,to suppress a little question that his heart was aching to ask. Clearing his throat,he said,"Yes.What is about,Ms.Gupta?"
The formality in his tone made her snap back to reality,"Well,its about Anjali."
"Anjali? Who Anjali?",he asked perplexed.

Kameena!,she swore in her mind as she shot him a awful glare. Did he forget the girls he flirted with too soon?Or did it just happen because she was here? She preferred to think the former.Frowning,she waited till he remembered and said,"Oh! You mean my secretary,Anjali Gupta?Yeah..what about her?"

"Well,as you know,Mr.Mallik-"
"Cut the crap. Its Armaan,and you know it.",he said irritated.
Riddhima gave a 'whatever' look to him as she said,"Yeah,Armaan..so as you know that,Anjali is my younger sister-"
"Wait.What? Hold on!",he interrupted her again,much to her annoyance,"Anjali Gupta is your younger sister..Like,Anjali Gupta,Riddhima Gupta,Oh FREAK man,Good God!",he exclaimed as realization dawned upon him like a shock,and sat down again,holding his head in his hands.It amused Riddhima a lot,his dramatic way of showing his suprise,and she couldn't help smirking.
"So,I wanted to talk about her..You know,since I'm her sister,so I have some responsibility towards her and I think I should meet you.."
"You came here because of Anjali..not..Me?",he asked softly,hesitating a bit.

Her words cut off for a moment. Did she think,or was it such a question that actually set her heart beating fast? He still had his head down. Why was it so hard? Talking to him? Earlier that day,she had set out to bash him out with the warnings and all..and now when he was talking like he always had,why was she not being able to answer? She reminded herself all over again that there was never a relation between them. There were no feelings involved..then why,why was..everything so..

"HA!GOTCHA!",he said suddenly,suprising her,and then bursting off in laughter. Riddhima's face hardened,and she swore in her breath again...UGH,how had she thought he would change? He was Armaan afterall! He was never going to get serious.
"You..Should've seen your FACE!!",he said between laughs,and then laughing again.
"Armaan I'll call you Mr.Mallik again if you don't stop laughing.",she warned between clenched teeth.
He stopped laughing abruptly and cleared his throat,"Sorry..for that..er,yes,what about Anjie?"
"Anjali.",she corrected him,clenching her teeth again,"A-N-J-A-L-I."
"Yeah,Yeah.That.What about her,I've asked for the 3rd time now..",he said.

"Armaan,have you been flirting with her?",she asked directly,causing Armaan to almost spurt out the water he was having. He swung his chair to the glass side and coughed,then turned back to her.
"WHAT?",was the only word that came out from his mouth. Was this woman crazy?
"Armaan look,She is my sister,and I do NOT want her to get involved with you..In some fling,or whatever. She has a career,therefore,I want you to STAY AWAY from her."
"I can't believe this.You came here to warn me against flirting with her?Like Seriously!",he said,rolling his eyes,"What makes you think I'll listen to you,Ms.Gupta?"
"Well you will.",she gave him 'I-dare-you' look as she spoke right into his eyes,"YOU WILL."
"Listen,Riddhima Gupta.",he returned her look and said,"Armaan Mallik has never listened to anyone.He's made his own rules,and he will in future.And its harmless flirting,afterall..Even if you deny,you know that ANJALI is the one who is totally gaga over me. So It is not..my fault,that she blushes whenever I talk to her,or takes it as Flirting whenever I adresses her like my other collegues,and pass her a smile!"
"I know the level of your harmless flirting,Armaan.",she said in a even tone.
"Oh you do?Then you should know this too,that I won't listen to you.Who are you to say,afterall? Even if I do ask her out,whats the problem? She is smart,she is pretty,and she likes me..then why wouldn't I?"
"I Am her SISTER. And oh,you will not.I know my sister is pretty and all,but you will stay away,I wouldn't want her to break her heart."

"Remember Riddhima,when Anjali enters these doors,she isn't your sister anymore,she is my secretary. And its my issue how I deal my workers.Plus,she is a ADULT. She is 21.If she felt the way I was behaving with her was making her uncomfortable,she could've told me herself. YOU needn't speak for her. If she wants to work here,its HER decision,and not YOURS. If she wants to go out with me,its her decision and Not yours. So please.You better not say anything in this."
"Fine.",she crossed her hands in front of her chest,having no other option,"But I'll make sure,that you DO listen to me. Its a challenge,Mr.Mallik.",she said with attitude and firm determination in her eyes.

She was going to leave,but his voice stopped her."And Riddhima.It shouldn't bother you anyway...whether I go out with your sister,or any other girl in the world. You were the one to break us,remember?"
She turned to look at him,still holding the cabin door handle. His expression was unreadable,and for a second she was rendered speechless. With a heavy voice,she replied,"There was No Us,Armaan.",and left the cabin without a second glance behind.

Armaan sighed at her answer. It was right,afterall. She still had no feelings for him..How would she? Way back in college,he had asked her out,casually,and was really surprised to find that it was the same casual attraction on her side..and they were together,deciding on a 'No-feelings' relation. Then why the hell had the breakup and her moving to Delhi two years back hurt him so much?

He knew why. He knew really well. It was because on his side,it was never a 'no-feelings' thing. He had always loved her,the only setback was that he'd realized that after she was gone,far away,without a second glance just like she did some seconds back.

***

Riddhima paced around her room,in her grey pajamas and favourite white oversized sweatshirt,her hair bothering her as usual,as she thought over it. How,just how could she stop Armaan from asking her sister out? Okay fine,she didn't like the fact that he thought her sister was Pretty..yes she was pretty,but why did he have to notice HER so much? It frustrated her. True,she wasn't really close to Anjali,due to the fact that her whole college life and maximum of school life was spent outside,in hostels or in herself. But suddenly,why was she so possessive about her?

Was she jealous? The question struck a lightning in her mind. No,ofcourse not! Her mind fought back. Armaan was her PAST. Her ex. She was the one who said they should break up. She had thousands of boys going crazy over her. If Anjali Gupta was pretty,everyone knew that Riddhima Gupta was Stunning. And it wouldn't take a bit to find a good guy for herself...but she hadn't right,she hadn't dated anyone in these 2 years. After her break up. All she could do was to give excuses,that it was because of her work,but was it really so?

Riddhima mentally kicked herself. She was going off-track. CONCENTRATE,Riddhima. Concentrate on your mission. Mission-don't-let-your-sister's-heart-break. Or Rather Mission-Prevent-Armaan-from-asking-your-sister-out. yeah,that was it. Mission PAFAYSO. Such a cool name! She thought smugly. She was proud of herself. And now,she had to start. If she had to distract Armaan,and/or keep a watch on him and Anjie,she had to stay around. But how? How would she go into Dhanraaj Empires everyday?

Glancing at the time,to see it as 9p.m.,she was tensed. Why wasn't Anjie home? It was raining heavily,and it was getting late.Anjali's office was to get over at 8 today. Distracted,she picked up a magazine. Randomly flipping a page,what she saw was-"How to Distract Guys-A Complete Guide."

Perfect! She thought as she saw the title. She could get ideas from there. Getting excited,she sat up in her sofa,a distant part of her mind wondering who the hell put guides to distract guys in a magazine. But who cared? It was all that mattered!

1.Talk about random stuff.

Talk? About Random stuff? like what,Weather,Coffee,tea,and biscuits? Or the office,windows,computer,wind,air,water? Bad idea! She frowned at the point and trailed her eyes to the next one.

2.Make coffee for them.(Don't forget to add loads of SALT!) Even if they don't see who is bringing the coffee and continue their work,after taking one sip,they're sure to look up!

She would make coffee for ARMAAN? SHEESH! Never! Her hands never touched the kitchen utensils even! Idea Flopped!Thinking so,she picked up the water from the table and drank as she trailed on to the 3rd point. Next!

3.The BEST REMEDY. Seduce them.

All the water spurted out from Riddhima's mouth to the carpet beneath her legs. SEDUCE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? !!!!! That was the worst ever idea! She shruddered and closed her eyes,and suddenly her mind imagined the idea of her wearing her sexiest red dress (the one Armaan had brought her when they were dating and she'd kept it) and going to DE. Armaan would be so stunned,maybe he would forget Anjali and-

"DAMN YOU!",she shouted as she cut off her thoughts again. Armaan was bothering her way too much. And her sister near him just added fuel to the fire. How could she even IMAGINE herself seducing him!Her cell phone rang,and she picked it up,fuming over herself again and again.

"Hey Di..",came Anjali's voice from the other end.
Riddhima's anger subsided for a second and she was worried again. Where was her sister? "Where are you?",she asked.
"Di..Could you please..come to the CCD near Marine Drive?The car's got stuck."
"What car? Weren't you supposed to come in a taxi or something?",suspicion ran through her.
"No,not my car..It was late today due to this meeting we had,and Armaan said he would drop me off. So like-"
"What the hell are you doing with him?",she asked in a deadning and clenched tone. Her anger was coming back.

"Well erm..I'm stuck in the rain with him..",she said in her timidest tone.
NO WAYS!,was all Riddhima's mind screamed at her.
