Chapter 24 : What the Heart Wants..

"Hey"

Ridhima's insides did a tiny flip at the casual greeting beside her. She raised her head to see its origin despite knowing its owner. His incredibly sensual 'Brute' perfume was so familiar to her senses by now.

"You scared me," she glared at him in accusation. "Again," she added stressing on the word.

"You need to get used to it," said Armaan. He smiled a beautifully irresistible smile, obviously at the way his morning began. Ridhima grunted before getting back to the sheaf of papers on her desk.

"What are you doing here, anyway?" she asked.

"Well, Dad left some files at home. So he asked me to get them over on my way to station," he replied. He picked out some nuts from a small bowl that lay on the sides of her desk and began nibbling it.

"Hmm," she responded without thought.

"You okay?" he asked her slowly after a minute or two of her silence and deep immersion into her work. It was clear that she was pre-occupied; the way she fidgeted with the curls of her hair with finger and the way she bit the ends of her pen gave it way.

"Yeah. I am fine. Why?" she said looking back. Their eyes caught on for a moment or two and he read that she was lying. She broke off, feeling complicated.

"Just asked," he lied back, not without remorse.

Armaan sat on the corners of her table, a tiny part of resting on the hope that she react to his presence and another part, pounding for he knew she was disturbed. When she continued to play by her act, he decided that maybe he wasn't what she needed and let her to her peace.

"Okay, you carry on. I have got some leads to track down," he said, getting off with a masked expression of disappointment. He had no denial to the fact that when Billy called him when he was shaving, he was searching for a reason to see her because the whole of last night, he had had the worst nightmares of everything that he fear clouding him into a thick smoke of despair. Seeing her was the only way he could have found a solace. And he was expecting more than sober her just then.

"Kay. Bye," Ridhima said, shortly.

Armaan nodded and walked off.

"Armaan?" he heard her call him from behind. He turned around to see her looking over her swivel chair.

"I am in mood for an iced coffee today," She smiled as she saw her most favorite face turn from disappointment into confusion to comprehend and finally to the dimpled flashes for which she learnt in a long time, she couldn't tag a price for. Their evening coffee together at 4 right after her work was her me-time and ithad become a routine without word. He would come and the two would walk together to a tiny coffee shop round the corner, run by an aged couple who fought nearly every time they saw them but were each other's one and only, and they would indulge in the weirdest conversations with anything that they felt like having. In time, it had become her most favourite hour of the day and Armaan woke up each morning, wondering what their mere 20 minutes of encounter awaited him. At first, Ridhima didn't play off and saw it as a refreshing cup of coffee after a tiring day but later it grew on her and she was beginning to realize how much she needed this time especially after Muskaan had left. She still had herself questioning why she felt infinitely 'safe' in Armaan's presence and it irked her to not have her answers but in all of this, she never once tried to put a stop to their relationship which in her eyes had no name. Not yet and she had no intention to do so as well.

Armaan winked before trotting off, now a happier man than he was a minute before.

On a powerful impulse, Ridhima turned to her sides only to see Tamanna burning her alive under her unorthodox stares.
