6 months later.

She sat at the train station sipping her coffee as she waited for her train to arrive. Her mind was in another world. Life was a bitch! Just like she always said…her fianc had left her forever. Well, his surgery was successful and he was healthy and happy. But when he came to know how she had gotten the money for his bypass surgery, he refused to forgive her even though she was the reason he was alive today. And so he left her…broke off his engagement with her and shifted back to India with his parents.

She couldn't help but tear up as she remembered how ruthlessly he had blamed her for being dirty and kicked her out of his life. So much for saving his life! As she got up to purchase a newspaper that could keep her occupied till her train arrived, she read the most shocking news ever. 'Criminal Armaan Mallik flees from French Police custody!' She read the whole article which said that, he was actually being shifted to another Prison on the other side of the city, but he being the mastermind that he was, fled from there leaving the French Police scandalized and her too!

As she boarded her train and took a place near the window she was lost in her thoughts. After the whole arrest issue she had realized that she had indeed fallen in love with Armaan Mallik. Wrong person to fall in love with right? But love sucks! And so did her life. She wished she could go back in time and undo all the wrong she had done. Wrong? Was falling in love considered wrong? No it wasn't. But when its someone you can never be with or even worse, someone who is heartless and ruthless, its wrong to fall in love. Anyway, nothing could be done right now. She was hopelessly in love with a criminal who wanted to kill her at the sight he sees her, and now he was free…his whereabouts unknown. She sent a silent prayer to God because she knew that only he could save her now.

She felt her phone vibrate and took it out. She frowned looking at the unknown number and pressing the green button, held it against her ear.

"Hello?"

"I found you Riddhima, just like I had promised."

She shuddered as she heard his voice at the other end. OMG! It was really him! Armaan had found her.. damn it!

"Say something Riddhima, I'm still the same Armaan you grabbed 6 months ago at the pub. And I want you now..more than ever!"

"Whe..where are you?"

"You'll see me soon Riddhima, for now you can satisfy yourself with my voice while I satisfy myself by looking at that scared expression on your face like the one you have right now!"

Immediately she turned around and looked all over, trying to scan every nook and corner of the train, but she didn't find anything like him.

"Don't look for me Riddhima, all you have to do is wait…" With that the line went dead.

She trembled with fear as she heard the line go dead. She was sweating by the time she reached her station and got off the train. As she began walking towards her rented apartment, she realized the streets were comparatively quieter that day. Funny, but she couldn't help but see the contrast between the events in her life and the empty streets.

She unlocked her apartment and entered her house. She put on the lights and went to the kitchen first thing to get a glass of chilled water. As she gulped it down in one go, she felt a presence in the house. She turned around, her eyes searched for any traces of that one person haunting her heart and mind for quite some time now. But to her fortune, he was no where to be seen.

'Okay I'm over thinking this!' She thought as she threw her handbag on the couch and moved to bedroom.

Suddenly, the lights went out…making her let out a small scream and even a louder scream as she heard someone grab her waist roughly and push her against the closed door of her bedroom. Her scream subsided, as she saw the man whose face was being highlighted beautifully by the moonlight. She stared at those bluish-green orbs that bore down right into her green ones. She expected anger, revenge, vengeance and hatred in those eyes…but all she saw was passion, desire, want and love…

"Finally we come face to face Miss. Shilpa. I've waited for this moment long enough" He whispered huskily.

"Armaan let go…" She tried to struggle, although being unsuccessful.

"Sure, just temme why did you do this to me?! I can't believe it I fell for it!" He jerked her out of his arms and looked away as now his rage was beginning to build up.

"It doesn't matter why I did it, all I want to say is I'm sorry for putting you in jail although I had nothing to do with you! I needed money and –"

"So you'd go around sleeping with anyone? A dangerous criminal like me? Who holds the capacity to kill you in just a second?!"

"Mind your tongue Armaan! I'm not a wh**e that I'll go around sleeping with anyone!"

"Then why did you do it damn it?!? I already told you I liked you and wanted to continue seeing you! Finally I thought that I found someone who would stick around atleast for a while! But you back stabbed me just like all others!" He shook her violently as he demanded answers.

"Armaan..my..my fianc was very…very weak. I needed money for his operation at the earliest..otherwise he..he would..die.." She broke down infront of him, thinking about how ruthlessly Sid had kicked her out of his life.

Armaan smirked at her. "Really now? So where is he? Do I get to meet your knight in shining amour?" He spitefully threw the words at her face.

"He left me, after he came to know what I did to gather money for his bypass surgery." She mumbled, trying to pull herself together and not break down anymore.

"There you go! Even I would leave you Riddhima, I would never stoop down to such low levels like you did!"

This angered her! How dare he?!

"What do you mean? You think you're some angel from heaven who hasn't committed any sin as yet?? Don't forget who you are Armaan! A robber, a molester, a hooligan and a murderer! I can't believe I fell in love with such an animal like you!" She looked away as she said that and let her tears roll down freely now.

"Love? Is it? If you're trying the same old trick on me and get me arrested then I'm not falling for it!"

"Think what you want…I made my confession!" She put her arms up in the air with defiance.

Armaan pretended to think over it…and suddenly an idea struck him.

"You love me right?"

"Didn't I just say so?!"

"Then prove it to me…"

"Prove? How?" She was thoroughly confused now.

"Sleep with me."

"You've gotta be kidding me! We're already past that stage…remember?"

"I'm not joking, do it if you know what's good for you! I know how to use other ways." He reprimanded her.

As he saw her expressions soften, he pulled her closer and placed his lips on hers. He knew this was the only way he could test her…He himself had undoubtedly fallen hard for her. These 6 months were more like a period of realization than a period of penance. He knew she must've done something so extreme only for a cause and he wanted to know it. He wanted to go back to her, take her in his arms and kiss her breathless…but also at the same time, he wanted to ask her those numerous questions which had popped up in his head during his jail term. When he entered her apartment and waited for her to come, his sense of vengeance took over his feelings for her. Thus, he ended up being harsh on her in the beginning.

As the kiss turned out to be as passionate as any other kiss they'd shared before, he lifted her in his arms and took her to the bed. He undressed himself and peeled off her layers smoothly, as he made soft and slow love to her. And also determining her test results.

When he woke up next morning, he found her up already and wearing her clothes as she looked a little disturbed. He approached her and pulled her closer.

"Good morning."

"Umm…Good Morning!" She said hesitantly.

"Last night was beautiful, babe. Thank you."

She was shocked beyond her wits as she heard him. So he did believe her when she said she loved him?

"Armaan I-"

"Ssshhh…just promise me one thing, you'll never ever leave my side again. No matter what the circumstances are and no matter how hard the situation is! Promise me, Riddhima."

Her face lit up immediately as heard him say that.

"Yes! Yes…yes! Always!" She jumped into his arms as he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you, Riddhima."

"I love you too Armaan…"

They stood that way for almost what felt like an eternity and parted after their heart's desire had been over ruled.

"Armaan…what about the police?"

She saw him smirk and pick her up in his arms.

"Well baby, they're just going to have to wait for me forever…because we're running away!"

"What?!"

"Yes my love…I'm gonna take you somewhere where only we exist, just you, me and our love." He nuzzled his nose with her as she beamed with happiness.

He took her into the shower for yet another romantic session and a little more talking! Like knowing about her job atleast! As they stepped into a new world, where only love existed…their love.
