Monday,Malik house.
21st July
She switched off the alarm on the side,rubbed her eyes and yawned.She shook armaan and said, "Utho armaaan!sanjeevaniii hai!!"she yawned again.He kissed her cheek and said, "Baskett!!"he smiled dreamily and took her in his hold more tight.She twisted in his hold and whined, "Armaan chodooo!Sanjeevani ke liye late ho jaayenge!"He shook his head negatively and said, "Basket 5 minutes please!"She sighed and said, "accha thik hai!mujhe toh jaane do'.."as he was protesting,she again whined, "Pleashhh"He left her,turned around and kept a pillow on his head.She got up,placed a light kiss on his ear and whispered, "I love you!"He smiled in his sleep.
She came back in a red suit drying her wet hair.She sat next to Armaan and ruffled his hair lovingly and said, "Utho Armaan hum sanjeevani ke liye late ho jaayenge!"As soon as Armaan felt her touch,he snuggled into her waist keeping his head on her lap.She bent down a little and he took the scent of her wet hair and sighed happily but then he felt water droplets on his face and frowned.He tightened his hold around her waist and whined, "Basskett!"She chuckled and said, "Utho na Armaannn,nahi toh senior doctor banne ke baad bhi Dr.Keerti se daat padegi!" And she caught his hand and pulled him up to a sitting position and said, "Main neeche jaa kar breakfast bana rahi hu!Jaldi aa jaana!".He rubbed his eyes and yawned and saw riddhima going so he quickly pulled her into his lap and wrapped his hand around.She glared at him and said, "Chodo Armaan!"He nodded in a no while riddhima whined, "Chodo'Chodo'.Armaaannn!Dekho mujhe bahut kaam hai,tumhe ready bhi hona hai!"He looked at her and said, "Nahi pehle meri good morning kiss do'.!"She nodded in a no and said, "Nahii Armaan hum late ho jaayenge'.!Agar tumne nahi choda na toh main'.na'."Armaan kissed her cheek, "Toh tum kya ha??Dhamki de rahi ho?"he raised his eyebrow.She smacked his hand and said, "Chodooo!Main'naa..Mainn'uhmmm"And she poured the glass of water kept on the bedside table on his back.He left her quickly and shouted, "Baskettt"while she chuckled,kissed his cheek and ran out and shouted, "Ready hoke neeche aajao!Main breakfast banati hu!Aur tumhaare kapde rakh diyee hai!"He smiled as she closed the door on his face and went towards the bathroom.
Armaan's parents had left last night as Billy's cousin was not well and they promised to come back for visiting after some time.They were still going to be in Delhi as they had the business there
Riddhima made the breakfast and was setting up the table and she felt two hands creeping on her waist and she smacked his hand away, "Armaan abhi koi masti mat karo,chup chaap naashta karo!"She glared him and he frowned, "Okay TEACHER!"And then kissed her cheek and said, "Thanks for making my favourite aloo parantas for breakfast.I could smell them in the room!"She smiled at him.They ate the breakfast talking about everything and nothing.She gave him his wallet and hankerchief while he smiled lovingly at her and kissed her forehead.As she went to take her bag,they heard the shrill ringtone of armaan's cell-phone which was, 'SHAADI KARKE PHAS GAYA YAAR ACHA KHAASA THA KUNWAARA(which means bachelor)'Armaan's eyes widened at the ringtone and he looked nervously at ridhhima who was glaring at him.She took her bag and stomped off banging the front door while armaan muttered to himself, "Ek se ek kaminey dost mile he mujhko!"
She was tapping her foot impatiently and waiting for Armaan below the building.He came and passed a nervous smile while she glared at him.He chuckled nervously and said, "Basket'"He called her lovingly one more time and she looked away.He called her one more time and then held her shoulders.
Armaan:Basket suno naaa pleaseee!(He made a cute face)
Riddhima:Nahi nahi shaadi karke phas gaye ho naa'..main toh tumhe kitna torture karti hu!Bachelor hi thik the na tum Dr.Armaan malik???
Armaan:Basket eri koi galti nahi hai,yeh sab who kaminooo rahul aur atul ne kiyaaa hai!Main toh kitna excited tha tumse shaadi karne ke liye!Chalo pleashhh gussa chodo,mere paas ek surprise hai tumhaare liye!
Riddhima:(she looked at his cute pout and then suppressing her smile and said)Acha thik hai chalo!
They sat on the bike and went.Riddhima wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her ear on his back feeling the wind blowing through her hair while armaan looked at through the mirror and smiled.He stopped the bike after sometime while riddhima frowned when he got off and went into the shop.He came back smiling widely with something behind his back,he took it out-
Armaan:(smiling wide)TAN TAN TADAAAH!
Riddhima:(confused)Helmet???(frowning)
Armaan:(hit her forehead)Arrey basket(then he turned the helmet and she saw a small "BASKET" written on it with silver colour)Seee!I brought this for you when we you come with me on the bike.I want to you to be safe naaa''(he continued blabbering while she looked at him smiling as he was explaining so cutely)
Riddhima:I love you!(She cupped his face and kissed his both cheeks while his dimples widened)This is so cute!(she looked happily at the helmet)
Armaan:(He kissed her forehead)I love you too!
Armaan put the helmet on her head and fastened the belt under her chin and kissed her nose.He then put his own helmet on and zoomed off.
They reached the hospital and got off the bike.Armaan looked at riddhima and then raised his eyebrow at her.She made a confused expression and said, "What??"He said, "Basket why are you taking the helmet,you can keep it on the bike"She frowned at him and took the helmet away from Armaan and said, "Nooo!Ghum gaya toh??Tumne diya hai,koi le gaya toh!"He shook his head smiling, "Basket who would take a ladies helmet with a 'BASKET' written on it"she was still shaking her head in a no so he said, "Acha thik hai le lo!"He put a hand around her waist and they entered Sanjeevani together.All the nurses and other doctors looked at the couple in awe as they looked beautiful together.The nurses could see the glow on Dr.Riddhima's face unlike the last time.Her face was glowing with happiness,her dark-coloured mehendi adorned hands filled with red&white bangles and a little sindoor in the hair.She looked a true newly-wed bride.
Riddhima:Armaan you go ahead,I need to take a file from the nurse-station.
Armaan:Ok baby!I'll meet you in the locker room!(he pecked her lips)Bye!
Ridhhima:Byeee!(she smiled at him)
Armaan entered the locker room empty with only a sulking anjali sitting on the bench with a hand under her chin.He jumped across the bench and sat beside her and nudged her shoulder.
Armaan:Kya hua saali-sahiba(sister-in-laww)Hmm??Behna ki yaad aa rahi hai.
Anjali:(sighing)Kuch nahi Armaan.Bas thoda thak gayi hu.Haan ridziii ki yaad toh aayegi na,par woh baat nahi hai.
Armaan:Matlab koi baat toh hai!
Anjali:(hesitantly)Uhmm'nahi Armaan.
Armaan:Arre Anji you can share with me,kisi ko nahi baatonga!Champ ke bare main hai na?
Anjali: (she looked startled at him)Tumhe kaise pata??
Armaan:Woh kya hai naa,usually situation thoda ulta hota hai champ baitha hota hai aur main use advice karta hu!Toh bolo kya hua??
Anjali:Uhmmm'Arm..aan'
Armaan:Pinch me!(Anji looked confused)Anjali Shashank Gupta is stammering!What a miracle?
Anjali:Shut up Armaan!
Armaan:Ahaan That's more like my Anjie!Chal bol kya hua??
Anjali:Armaan I don't really know where this relationship is going??I know I want to spend the rest of my life later in time but the pace with we are going I think he'll propose me when I am 70yrs old!I mean we haven't even kissed yet(Armaan's eyes widened)Yeah I know its shocking!And not on the cheek also!
Armaan:WHATT???He didn't even kiss you on the cheek yet!Anji do you know why he is doing this!
Anjali:Yeah I think I know!From what I know of Atul,I think he is doing is-first because he is shy and second-he feels if he does anything then I'll feel wrong and leave him.I tried talking but he doesn't open up feeling scared of speaking something which I may not like,but he has opinions and I want to respect them.I just don't know what to do.
Armaan:Yeah I understand Anjie!And I think you're right.See I'll talk to him and give him a little push but after that you'll have to talk to him.
Anjali:Really you will do that??Thank you so much Armaan!(she smiled wide)I will talk to him after that.(she hugged Armaan)
Nurse station,9 am
Armaan was playing with riddhima's dupatta while she was reading a file leaning on the behind nurse station.Muskaan and rahul were bickering while atul was manoing anjali.Sid was glancing at riddhima while shilpa was glancing at sid.The others were talking.While armaan was playing with riddhima's dupata it came down a little revealing her collar bone.Just then Muskaan squealed.
Muskaan:Ridzziii woh kya hai tere gale pe??
Riddhima:(looked confused,then looked down at her collar-bone and quickly covered her neck with her dupata and shot a glare at armaan)Uhmmm...kuch nahi...(fumbling and blushing)
Armaan:(also looked at her shoulder and neck,his eyes widened)Oh Shit!(passed a nervous smile in return to her glare)
Muskaan:(came and nudged riddhima's shoulder)Oh hooo LOVE-BITEE!!
Riddhima:(shocked)MUSKIII!chup re!(whispering in her ear)Arre yaar interns bhi hai yahaan par!
Anjali:(quickly caught on)Oh ho ridzii meri choti behen toh badi ho gayi!Hickey and all huhn!
Riddhima:(blushing furiously and glaring at armaan)Uhmm Dii aisa kuch nahi hai!
Armaan:Shut up guys!Tum log shaadi hogi phir hum log ye discuss karenge.(keeping a hand on riddhima's shoulder)
Riddhima:(smacking his hand away and huffing)Shut up Armaan!
Armaan:Arre maine kya kiya?(he made puppy face while the others were laughing)
Just then they heard a voice behind them and straightened themselves.
Keerti:DOCTORS!I have an announcement to make!From now onwards Dr.Riddhima will be in-charge of the interns(riddhima is shocked) and the senior doctors will report to me.
Riddhima:Dr.keerti!Me??!
Keerti:Yes Dr.Riddhima!I had decided to make somebody of you in-charge as i am already heading you people.So after asking your colleagues,the others are not interested as well and I find you the most responsible as you were not mostly involved in their pranks(everybody coughs)So we have decided to make you in-charge!Interns first half of your duty you will be given duties to work by Dr.Riddhim a and then in the second half,you will report to your mentors.Since Dr.Riddhima is going away for her honeymoon next week(some people coughs again while some chuckle) for two weeks(sid glares)Dr.Anjali will give you your duties till then.Your today duties are put on the notice-board and doctors your surgery schedules are given to you already.So Disperse!
They all head out when riddhima tugged Armaan's hand.He raised an eyebrow at her.She pulled him to their cabin.
Armaan:(put his hand around her waist)Kya hua basket??
Riddhima:Tum log ne mere naam kyu diya??Aur vaise bhi tumhe bhi toh disciplarian banne tha,yaad aaya?
Armaan:(smiled and kissed her cheek)First of all aise hitler type ke role ke liye tum perfect ho,main banta toh meri image kharab ho sakti hai.I can't scold you see,which is your speciality!jab dekho daat ti rehti ho!
Riddhima:(smacked his shoulder)Armaan!
Armaan:(chuckled)Aur second-Mujhe kabhi bana nahi tha woh tumse ladne mil raha tha na isliye banna chahta tha!
Riddhima frowned and then hugged him.
7pm,Sanjeevani
Armaan:Champpp!mere bhai,rukk!
Atul:Kaisa hai bhai,tu?
Armaan:Main toh theek hu!Tu bata Anji se kaisa jaa raha hai!
Atul:Acha jaa raha hai!
Armaan:Tum log ne confess kiya?
Atul:Main toh roz karta hu,usne nahi kiya!
Armaan:Tum log ne kiss kiya??
Atul:(Blushing)Nahi re!
Armaan:Toh kya bache hone ke baad karega??
Atul:Arre use bura laga toh??
Armaan:Usse kyu bura lagega,sab relationships main log karte hai!
Atul:(thinking)Tu sach bol raha hai??
Armaan:Arrey tujhe jhoot lag raha hai!Maine ek wardboy ko kehte hue suna ki-yeh dono saath main lagte hi nahi hai,na kabhi haat pakadte hai,na kabhi kiss karte hai!(then melodramatically)Pata nahi bechari Anji ko yeh sab sunkar kaisa lagta hoga??Woh ladki hai toh first step toh nahi lege na??
Atul:NAHIII!Anji yeh sab nahi sunegi!Main kal hi use kiss karunga!Thank you bhai!Tu nahi hota toh main kya karta??
Armaan just smirks.
Tuesday,22md July.
5.30,Sanjeevani cafeteria.
Riddhima was very tired today.She had back to back surgeries,and now she just wanted to close her eyes and rest for sometime.She frowned as she remembered as she had not seen Armaan since morning.He was also busy today.After coming from the marriage Dr.Keerti had loaded them with work.
Armaan saw his basket frowning and knew what she was thinking.She looked tired,he thought as he saw her sitting on one of the tables which had Nikki and muskaan chattering.He went and hugged her from behind,kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Hi baby!"Riddhima smiled wide as she heard his voice,all her tiredness gone down the drain.His presence had a soothing effect on her.Armaan sat beside her and put a hand around her waist and pecked her lips and asked, "Tired??"She nodded her head and said, "Hitler is seriously trying to kill us!" and then kept her head on his shoulder.He chuckled,then pecked her head and said, "Rest okay?!"She nodded her head and snuggled into him more.He greeted nikki and muskaan when Anji came.
Anjali:Hey armaan!Isse kya hua?(pointing towards ridddhima)
Armaan:She is tired!
Anjali:Oh!Acha Armaan I wanted to discuss a case with you about that lady with brain tumour in the second stage.
Armaan:Oh haan!Yaa Dr.Keerti told me about it.
They had just finished discussing the case when Atul arrived.He sat on the chair beside Anjali.
Atul:(kissing Anjali's cheek)Hi Anjali!
Anjali cheek's turned red and her eyes widened,Muskaan started choking on her food and armaan's eyes widended.Armaan threw a bottle to rahul,for Muskaan.
Muskaan:Yeh kya hua??Kaise hu?HAHHAHAHHA(she started laughing in her typical style)
Armaan:Pinch me somebody!(Nikki pinched him hard)Ouch itna zor se nahi!
Riddhima:(rubbed his hand)Nikkki!
Armaan:Anyways Did Anjali Gupta just blush????
Muskaan:Arrey haaan!HHAHAHAHAH!
Anjali:Stop it guys!(still blushing...She blinked to armaan and whispered)Thanks Armaan!
Armaan:Anytime Anji!
They kept bickering and laughing away in the break.
Part 13 b-Knowing the neighbours and you.
23rd July,Wednesday.
6.00 pm,Malik House.
Riddhima was opening the lock of the house when somebody crashed into her legs.She turned around to look at a cute hazel eyed 4 yr old boy looking at her with fear in his eyes.She smiled,kneeled infront of him and put a hand in front of her.
Riddhima:Hey Hi!So what is this cute boy's name?Arre why are you afraid,I am not going to scold you.
Little boy:(confused for a second,then smiled and put his palm into riddhima's soft hand):Hi..
Lady:Krishyyy baby!kahaan bhaagte rehto ho??Ab kisse pareshaan kar rahe ho?
Riddhima:Oh So aapka naam Krish hai??(then stood up and smiled at Krish's mother)Hi..Your kid is very cute.
Lady:Hi and Thanks!You are our new neighbours right?Mrs.Malik??(riddhima smiled at the endearment 'Mrs.mallik' while the lady put a hand in front to shake)I am Kripa Khanna.
Riddhima:Riddhima!Yeah we just shifted!
Kripa:Newly-weds?(she looked at riddhima's bangles and mehendi)
Riddhima:(nodded and blushed)Nice to meet you.(she opened the door)Hey would you like to come inside and we can talk over coffee.
Kripa:(fumbled)Uhmm'.I'.
Riddhima:Arre don't be formal.I would really happy if I got a friend in this building and vaise bhi I am already fond of krish(riddhima caressed Krish's cheek)And Mr.Krish would also like a chocolate,I guess(at which Krish nodded happily)
Kripa:(finally smiled)I think I'll take the offer,since I also don't have friends in the building as all are high-class 'sophiscated' ladies(Kripa locked her own house and walked with riddhima behind Krish who had already entered the house)Finally found somebody,I tell you!(riddhima giggled)I had become tired of these arrogant bitches,such stereotypes they are!Before entering does your husband have any problem with 'kids playing around in the house??'(she raised a eye-brow at riddhima)
Riddhima:(giggled)What??NOO!Armaan loves kids(she said proudly)But why are you asking??
Kripa:Arre Kyaa batava rabba??Yeh joh ladies hai-the sophiscated ones(kripa roled her eyes)One of them invited me to her house and when krish was running around in the house and her husband started telling my Krish all sorts of things-that kids shouldn't run around in the house and blahh blah!And I was like-Arre who sirf four years ka hai!(suddenly she looked around the house and shrieked)HAYOOO RABBAA!Aenaa sonaa ghar hai!Mujhe toh laga aapka hamara jaise hoga par aapne flats join kiya hai,lagta hai,Kyunji??(she finally looked at riddhima who was amusedly looking at her with a smile)
Riddhima:Haan humne join kiyaa hai!Thanks!Vaise aap punjabii ho naa??
Kripa:Arre aapko kaise pata chala aur Sorry aapko bolne hi nahi diyaa!Mujhe bolne ki bahut aadat hai!Angad bhi mujhe ''Basanti' bulata hai(looking at riddhima's questioning look)Oh Angad!Mere Husband!
Riddhima:(smiled)Woh pata chal jaata hai aur sorry bolne ki zaroorat nahi hai,mujhe bura bilkul nahi laga!Muskii apse milke baut khush hogi who Patiala se hai!!Ekdum aapke ki tarah hai.
Kripa:haanji mil lengeee!Main bhatinda se hu'.
And she kept on talking.Riddhima and Kripa talked for about 1 hour over coffee.Riddhima had got along with Krish and had given him a chocolate.Riddhima had come to a conclusion that Kripa was exactly like Muskaan but more mature and smarter than her.She also found out that she and Kripa had a lot of common interests and similarities.At 7.30 pm,Armaan entered the house with his spare-key.Armaan came and sat beside Riddhima on the sofa,hugged her from the side and kissed her cheek.
Armaan:Hi baby!
Riddhima:(smiled and gestured towards Kripa)Armaaan!She is Kripa,our neighbour!Kripaaa,my husband Armaan!
Kripa:Helloji!Aapke toh badi hi ache dole-shole hai!Arre Riddhima ek aur similarity hai,Mere husband ke bahut saare Tatoos hai!Aur woh bhi bade handsome hai!
Armaan:(raised his eyebrow at riddhima)
Riddhima:Ekdum Muskiii jaisi hai naa!Muski inse milkar bahut khush hogi naa
Kripa had got a phone-call and excused herself,meanwhile armaan had put his hand around riddhima's waist and slipped his hand under her kurta caressing her side-waist sensuously.Riddhima's eyes widened as his cold fingers touched her bare waist.She nervously looked towards armaan who was grinnig at her.She tried to take his hands off and started breathing heavily due to the effect of his fingers.
Riddhima:Armaaan!Kya kar rahe ho?Chodooo,dekho Kripa dekh legi(she looked towards kripa who had her back towards them)
Armaan:nahiii!Dekhne doo!
Riddhima:Pleaseee Armaan!Kyu mujhe tang kar rahe ho?
Armaan:Kyu uss din mujhpe paani daala tab kyu mujhe tang kiya tha??(gripping her waist tighter and moved his hand a little up her kurta)
Riddhima:WOhh'Wohh(nervousy)Acha Sorry!Please chodo naa'Kripa jaayegi toh tum jo bolegi who main sunogi!
Armaan:(blowed air on her face and she closed her eyes)Tum jab aise ghabra jaati ho naa toh aur bhi khoobsurat lagti ho(she breathed heavily)Acha pakka sunogi meri baat??
Riddhima:(still eyes closed and whispering)Haan pakka!
Armaan:Ok!(He pecked her lips and left her while ridz sighed)Arre yeh cute sa ladka kon hai??(picked in his arms while Kripa also came back)
Kripa:Ohji yeh mera beta hai Krish!(she smiled at him)
Armaan:Hi Krissh!Aap toh big boy lagte ho??Aaapko video-games pasand hai?
Krish:Haan booch pashant hai untle![BAHUT PASAND HAI UNCLE]
Armaan:Haan main change karke aata hu phir khelege!!Aur Uncle kyu bula rahe ho,mujhe armaan bulao!Main kaunse angle se uncle dikta hu,yeh riddhima hai naa usse aunty bulaoo!(riddhima smacked his chest and glared at him)Ouch Basket!Main aata hu fast okay??(he ruffled krish's hair)
Krish:Okay Almaaann!
After hour,Riddhima entered the room to see Armaan with wet hair,a plain green t-shirt and black shorts sitting on the bed searching in the bedside drawer for something.She smiled as she looked at how adorable he looked with that cute frown on his face.Then she remembered that she was angry on him and she smacked herself mentally.FOCUS Riddhima!she thought to herself,as she frowned at how she could be angry at him when he looked so cute with his wet hair falling on his forehead and she just wanted to cuddle in his arms and sleep.Actually not sleep!Maybe kiss him and do something more!She smiled at her naughty thoughts and then thought-that Armaan's company was definitely rubbing on her!She then remembered her anger and went into her ANGRY BASKET mode!She stood with her hands on her hips and glared at him.
Riddhima:(angrily)Armaaan!!
Armaan:(ignoring the anger)Baskett where is my PSP?Woh krish ko dekhana hai!
Riddhima:HMPH!I am angry at you'...Krish and kripa have gonee!And I have hidden your PSP!(she folded her arms)
Armaan:Achaaa!Baby gussa hogayii!(He pulled her onto the bed beside him)Acha tumne mujhe promise kiya tha ki tum meri baat sunogii!I want you to throw your anger away and give me my PSP back!(he grinned at her)
Riddhima:(smirking)Haan toh sun rahi hu na!
Armaan:(suspicious)Toh do aur tum abhi tak gussa ho!
Riddhima:Maine bola sunnugi,maanugi yeh nahi bola tha!
Armaan:HAWWW Basket cheater ho tum!Meri company ka asar pad raha hai'.smart ban rahi hoo!
Riddhima:ban nahi rahi hu,already hu!
Armaan:Pakka company ka asar hai!
He pulled her into her arms and smacked his lips onto hers.He slowly pinned her under him still nibbling on her lips.After a while,Armaan broke the kiss and whispered catching his breath, "You are hungry,basket?Dinner?".She whispered back, "No had a late lunch and had some snacks!You?".He grinned, "naaah" and dug into her neck placing fervent kisses down her neck while opening her shirt while riddhima fisted his hair.Passion overtook them and their clothes lay beside them.They made love the whole night.
1.00am,AR bedroom.
Riddhima got up,rubbed her eyes as her stomach grumbled for food.She was feeling hungry and needed something to eat.She saw Armaan lying beside her holding her,by her waist tightly as she tried to wriggle out,a frown formed on his face.She looked at her cute hubby,pushed his hair back and kissed his forehead.Armaan smiled and she slipped a pillow under his hand then she looked around and found Armaan's t-shirt and slipped it on which landed a little above her knees.She yawned,walked out of the room while tying her hair in a bun.
She looked around the kitchen to find something to munch on but found nothing.Then her eyes fell on a packet of maggi noodles and her eyes gleamed in excitement.She quickly made a bowl of maggi and jumped on the kitchen counter-top and started eating her maggi.Then suddenly the dimmed lights turned on while her eyes widened and the noodle was left hanging in mid-air from her mouth.She raised her eyes to look at a figure standing at the kitchen-door,bare-chested in only shorts,hands folded against his chest with a smirk against on his lips.
Armaan looked at her with an amused smile playing on his lips.He looked at HIS basket looking like a cute child relishing her noodles with so much excitement.She looked adorable in his t-shirt with her bangs covering her face and the noodle hanging from her mouth.Armaan smirks and went to her and put his hands around her waist while she was still sitting on the counter-top.
Armaan:So what are you doing basketji?Hmm?(He moves his lips towards hers and takes the noodle in his mouth and chews it)Hmmm!Nice Basket!This is so yummy!(Still grinning)
Riddhima:(Blushes)Shut up Armaan!Its just Maggi!
Armaan:Arree!I am not joking,seriously its amazing!Although I owe it to the fact that it is tasty is because it is hanging from your lips(She blushes and smacks him)but it tastes different as in not like the normal maggi.
Riddhima:Because that my dear hubby is the 'BASKET TOUCH'!Riddhima's special Chinese maggi!(she smiles widely with her chin up)
Armaan:Achaaa!Anyways mujhe nahi khilogi??AAA(he makes a baby face and open his mouth)
She happily feed him by giving him little bites by her fork and also eats in between.After finishing the maggi,she put the bowl beside her and wraps her arms around his neck while armaan smiles.He pulls her closer by the waist and pecks her lips softly.
Armaan:Feeling sleepy basket?(He touches her forehead with his)
Riddhima:(smiles and nods her head in no.She then pecked his nose)
Armaan:(grinning)Feeling naughty,basket?Sooo now we can do other things,hmmm?So you want to romance in the kitchen or in the bedroom??(smiling mischievously)
Riddhima:NOOO!(she smacked his arm)I did not say anything like that!I meant we can talk with coffee!
Armaan:Ouch!(frowning)Okay we'll 'TALK',as you say!And coffee hamesha tum banati ho naa so today you will taste THE ARMAAN MALIK's coffee.
Riddhima:Ahem ahem(fake cough)TUM coffee banaoge?Ek pasta acha banana se coffee nahi aa jaati.
Armaan:Par mujhe coffee banani aati hai'..
RIddhima:Yeh bhi mamma ne sikhayi?
Armaan:Nahi'Ye Bi ne sikhaayi'.unka caf hai naa'
Riddhima:Oh!Okay then banayi CHEF Armaan Malikji!
Armaan happily made coffee and poured it into one cup.Riddhima raised an eyebrow so he gestured that they are having together.He then quickly picked her up in his arms while riddhima gasped.
Riddhima:Armaan kya kar rahe ho?Hum coffee peeke BAAt karne waale the?
Armaan:Oye Dirty mind!Hum 'COFFEE PEEKE BAAT' hi karne waale hai'.but yahaan nahi kahin aur baithenge'..tu coffee ka mug utho.
As soon as she picked the mug he strode off toward their bedroom.He made her stand in the bedroom and went and sat in the seat beside the window
Window seat
which was fluffed up with white pillows and overlooked the moonlit night.He then pulled her and sat her between his legs with her back rested against his chest.Riddhima relaxed in his hold as he slid his arms across her waist and put the blanket onto their stretched legs as the cold wind played with their hair.
Armaan:This feels so peaceful na?(sighed and Pulled her more closer)
Riddhima:Hmmm(put her hands on armaan's and tilted her head up and kissed his chin,then she drank the coffee)Armaan this is very nice and tastes different''MMm'You'll teach me how to make?
Armaan:(thinking)Nooo!This is Armaan malik's secret!Main nahi baataongaa,vaise bhi you don't let me enter the kitchen.
RIddhima:Huhnn'Don't teach,I'll learn it from Bi when she comes!(frowning)
Armaan:Acha baba sikha dunga(nuzzling into her hair)
Riddhima:(gasped feeling his breath on her neck)Armaaan!?(whispering)
Armaan:Hmmm
Riddhima:What is the two most favourite parts you love about me?
Armaan:Hmm''But Basket I love''(He took a sip of her coffee)
Riddhima:Don't go for cheesy lines!I know you like everything about me but I want only two answers'..Any two favourites?
Armaan:(grumpily)Kya yaar riddhima!?Acha okay you'.
Riddhima:And not my eyes,except them!
Armaan:ARRE!(looking at her pouting face)Acha okay I love your hair,they smell so nice(nuzzling them)and I love your cheeks which turn red even if my finger brushes past you(kissing her cheek while she smiled wide)So you got your answer,madam?
Riddhima:Hmmm(snuggled closer and moving sideways and keeping her head on his chest)
Armaan:Acha okay now the same question to you!And the same condition except my eyes!
Riddhima:I love your dimples(smiling and poking them)
Armaan:Who doesn't?(smirking but after seeing riddhima's glaring face fastly speaking)But I only like it when you poke them!
Riddhima:And I love your cute sa nose!(she kissed his nose)
Armaan:Now this is first time I have heard someone complimenting my nose!(he said chuckling)
Riddhima:So??!I like it na!(she pinched it)vaise bhi I am different you see!
Armaan:(hugging her closer)That you are!(after some time)Acha Basket!Now I'll ask you a question of which you have to give the answer!So what is your fantasy?(he asked excitedly)
Riddhima:(eyes widened)Kyaaa?Uhmmm'meri'..koi fantasy'nahi..hai'.(lowering her eyes)
Armaan:Jhootiii!Don't try to lie to me,you know you can't!And everyone has a fantasy and I gave an answer to your question,so you have too!
Riddhima:Arre'.par(blushing)
Armaan:Sharmao mat na'main tumhara husband hu!(he said cheekily)
(Seeing her glare)Acha tease nahi karunga,Bolooo!
Riddhima:(fiddling with his buttons while he tipped her chin and made her look into his eyes)Woh my fantasy was to kiss my Mr.Right at three unsual places'.(blushing furiously while lowering her eyes)
Armaan:(chuckling)Itni easy,yeh toh hum jaldi puri karlenge.
Riddhima:(hitting his arm)Dekhaaa,tumhe batana hi nahi chaiye tha!(pouting)
Armaan:(pecking her lips)Acha baba sorry!Anyways tum mujhe nahi puchogi?(mischievously)
Riddhima:(nonchalantly)Nahiii'.Mujhe nahi puchna!
Armaan:Phir bhi I'll tell you'..( bending his lips to her ear and huskily)I wanted my wife to seduce me''.
Riddhima:(shocked and blushing furiously)ARMAAAN!!(armaan chuckled while she smacked him and hid her blushing face in his chest)
After some time,they were looking at the moon enjoying the breeze when riddhima broke the silence.
Riddhima:You know Armaan,I love watching the moon.It feels so peaceful!(He looks at her with a smile as she is staring at the moon with a serene smile)You know when Smriti mom died na,(his grip tightened) Dad was busy setting in sanjeevani and vaise toh Anji di and I love each other,but we don't express everything to each other properly,she used to be a little distant from me and I used to feel very lonely(he kissed her forehead while she smiled at him tearfully) so I used to search for warmth and support in the moon and the stars.I used to picture Smriti's mom face in the moon.
Armaan:And I used to picture your face in the moon(she looked at him confusedly)Actually when I first fell in love with you and couldn't tell you,I used to picture your face in the moon every night before I went to sleep(Riddhima smiled at him)And when I lost my memory and couldn't remember you,I still used to picture your face in the moon(As she smiled sadly he pulled her close) and I didn't know that I love you so I used to think ki-why I am seeing TEACHER??(she chuckled but then hit his arm)Then when I realized then I understood the reason.I used to do this in panchgani also during my treatment,that was my best solace!(he sighed sadly)[ARMAAN HAS GOT HIS MEMORY BACK AFTER THE BOMB BLAST AND TREATMENT OF HIS MENTAL ILLNESS]
Riddhima:(She turned around in his hold,cupped his face and kissed his forehead lovingly)I love you Armaan(whispered while closing her eyes and snuggling up to him on his chest)
Armaan:I love you too!(He smiled and put a kiss on her hair while closing his eyes,as her head rested below his chin)Basket I wanted to say something''.(huskily)
Riddhima:Hmmm(still eyes closed but shivering due to his husky voice)
Armaan:(whispering)That you look sexy in my t-shirt!
He chuckled as her eyes flew wide open and she blushed a deep red.He bent down and kissed her cheek while she closed her eyes tighter and hid her face in his chest gripping him tighter and said, "Sleep Armaan!"Then they peacefully slept in each others arms.
