First of all thank you so so so much for a long update!

Yes, I am so in love with this story... I loved your beautiful descriptions, I loved the Armaan Riddhima moments, I love her relationship with Daadi, basically I loved everything about this chapter! Him lying to meet her, always impatient to be around her proper brought back memories of Armaan! Haii, I was just reading this in the hope that it wouldn't end! *criess*

Okaay, I'm not happy with Naina's entry because it's scaring me and then the dream! My heart cannot bear any separation :(

I love how they both feel lost each other, thinking about one another being miles apart! They need a heartfelt confession soon! But I'm so scared reading the end bit, why is she angry? Because he didn't call her?

My favorite bit was her dream, his dream becoming "their dream"! I loved that, and their conversation. The whole beach scene and her flashbacks was amazing!

You are a wonderful writer my loveee, very very talented! I really do want to read more, so please update sooonish... I'm very impatient tooo! Thank you for the PM and keep up the beautiful work!

I adore this piece of work, I'm re-living my DMG dream in a whole new way! Loving ittt! Seriously not exaggerating!

Much love,

xoxo

Nice updates :-) I hope Naina doesn't cause too may problems for AR

Part 7:

The ladies had come to a shopping mall and Armaan was forced to tag along as their personal chauffeur. Armaan was bored just after the first 30 minutes; he couldn't understand what Muskaan & Naina were trying to do. They would enter every store in a line, see things, argue over prices and leave without any purchase. Armaan felt sorry for the shopkeepers, who had to bear this daily. Armaan decided to get out before he goes mad and so leaves on pretense of a call. It had been long and Armaan hadn't returned Prerna went to see where he was and found him staring in space while leaning on the railing: tu yahan kyun hai, ho gayi baat? Armaan nods: Ma can we please go back. I'm tired. Pr: Kuch hua kya? Abhi to aye hain, girls have just begun seeing things. Ar: Oh ok, I'm going up to the food court, ap ka jab ho jaye to mujhe bol dena. He sits at the corner table out looking the city n waits for his coffee. Last night had been no less than a torture for him, he couldn't sleep a blink and all due to a certain SOMEBODY who refused to leave his thoughts alone for even for a moment. "Basket" he whispers n closes his eyes, her face, her twinkling eyes, her dazzling smile, her lips while she pouts, her innocence, her pure heart, he could see all of it. What is this feeling? I can still hear her melodious laughter and the beautiful picture she made standing at the beach. Is it attraction? I guess, but all the other feelings I have when she's around, I've never felt them for anyone else. I want to be around her always. I've known her for such a short period and yet why do I feel so low without her. When she gets busy on a call with her friend back home or ignores me why do i feel bad? I always want her full attention. Whenever she smiles at me, there's a strange happiness that engulfs me and it's even more if I'm the reason behind it. I feel like doing anything to keep her happy. I don't like it when she's upset, that day her tears had made me cringe. I wanted to sooth her, take away all her pain. Oh God, what is wrong with me, all I think about dese days is Basket, i see her in my dreams. Whom do I ask? Idea! Agony aunt. Of course i should ask her, she used to help everyone in the college, but she'll be after me if I tell her. Wait, i can ask her on a friend's behalf. Yes! Armaan dials a number and a female voice greets him.

Girl: Aa gayi tumhe apni best friend ki yaad? Ar: Sorry yaar Nikki, have been really busy lately, that's why couldn't keep in touch with you. Ni: Really! Aisa kaunsa kaam hai tumhara, jis ki wajah se tum hum SAB ko hi bhool gaye. Ar: Bus yaar tha kuch kaam. I didn't forget u guys, that's impossible, you know that, don't u? Ni: Yea right. Bolo kaise call ki? Ar: Nikki, actually yaar, my friend needs some advice but you know na I'm nil in heart matters, so can u help? Ni: Sure, who's the friend? Ar: You don't know him, he's a business colleague. Ni: Ahan, what's the problem? Ar: He's not with me right now; I'll ask him to write down his feelings to show u. You can reply me back n I'll forward it to him. Is that fine? Ni: Nope! Why can't I talk to him directly? Ar: Tch Nikki, I can't do that. Samjha kar na, he's very shy types. Ni: Okaay! Ar: Ok then, I'll talk later. Bye.

Armaan writes all his feelings and waits for Nikki's reply eagerly. After 5 minutes, his cell beeped. He quickly opened the msg. It read: You are in LOVE sweet heart! Good luck! ;)

Ar: What? Unbelievable! Crazy girl, aise thori hota hai pyaar. Yeah right, to phir kaise hota hai? Wait a second, he read da message again and smiled seeing that Nikki had understood it was about him. "Pyaar, mujhe Basket se pyaar hai, Basket se, Wow!" he had a goofy smile on his face saying it. Ar: "Snap out of it Armaan. Are u crazy? Oh yes I am. Idiot!" he slaps himself to get him out of the trance. A: Should I tell Basket about it? No, I need to take this slowly and see if Basket has feelings for me or not? Thinking of Basket, what should I do now, she's upset with me. Think Armaan, think, it shouldn't be this difficult.

Armaan decides to send her a gift and so leaves in search of it. A big pink bunny with a red button nose appeals him. He asks the salesperson to get it delivered in India. Armaan places the online order and scribbles a note to be sent with it. Armaan couldn't wait to know Basket's reaction.

The next few days flew by working and later roaming around the city during the evenings in Malaysia. Armaan missed Basket all the more now that he had realized his feelings. He wanted to bring Basket here n spend time with her, he knew she would love this place as it had so many water sights to offer.

Riddhima had received a huge parcel the same day. Riddhima fumbled for words when Dadi had raised an eyebrow seeing the huge gift parcel. Ri: I don't know Dadi what this is and why he sent it. Dadi smiled and left her room. Riddhima placed the gift on the table and sat on her bed. Ri: Hmm. Gift se mujhe behlana ki koshish kar raha hai. Nahi chahye mujhe us ka gift. She picked her book to read. After a while curiosity got the better of her and she unwrapped the gift carefully. Riddhima's anger flew out of the window seeing the bunny and his handwritten note. She hugged the bunny close to her and read the note:

To My Basket,

Janta hoon tum mujhse naraz ho, maine bohat sataya na tumhein. I'm so sorry. Abhi kliye ye apology accpet kar lo. Wahan aa ker main kaan pakar ke maafi mang loon ga, Promise.

Your Armaan.

R: Itni asani se nahi manoo gi. Aik message nahin kar sakte they ke stay extend ho gaya hai. Kitni pareshan ho gayi thi main. Per tumhein koi fikar nahi hai meri, wahan khoob mazey kar rahey ho. Bunny accepted but your apology is rejected. She spoke to the bunny as if it was Armaan.

Armaan had visited 3 sites out of a total of 6 per day to complete the inspections in 2 days and simultaneously worked on their details to finalize one. Prerna had accompanied the girls everywhere they wished to visit, and didn't trouble Armaan unnecessarily. They would meet for dinner n then coffee near the pool side where they filled Armaan about the day. Prerna had noticed Armaan would zone out frequently and seen that even after a tiring day he would be up till late just tossing n turning in bed. Armaan had always been dedicated to his work, and this time was no different but, he was working overtime n trying to wrap it all up and rush back to India. Prerna had tried to ask him indirectly and all he said was that there was a lot pending in India's office. Armaan had reduced the stay much to girls' displeasure because there was so much left to explore according to them but Armaan had turned deaf ears and booked the first available flight. So they landed in India in the early morning of the 4th day. Anurag had come to pick them up at airport. Armaan had done his breakfast, updated Anurag on the project details and got ready for the orphanage. Anurag was stunned seeing Armaan go out within 40mins of his arrival whereas Prerna had looked on knowingly and shook her head.

A beautiful bouquet of 7 pink roses & i miss u card awaited Riddhima when she stepped out of the shower. She picked up the roses and inhaled their beautiful fragrance and then read the card. She frowns when she found no name written. She stood staring at it when suddenly someone screamed in her ear causing her to shriek. Armaan clutched his stomach and laughed seeing Riddhima's expressions. Riddhima held a hand over her heart and narrowed her eyes. The next second Riddhima had pounced on Armaan and started hitting him, Armaan let her hit him, Riddhima stopped after a while seeing that her small wrists would do no harm to his rock solid chest. Armaan held her wrists and pulled her closer when he saw she had given up. Ar: Good morning Basket! Ri: What's so good about this morning? She said wriggling in his hold. Ar: I'm back, isn't this good? Riddhima looked up at him and found him staring at her longingly. She quickly lowered her eyes not being able to face the intensity of his gaze. R: What are you doing in my room? She asked trying to move away from him. A: Isn't it obvious? I'm here to meet you. R: But I don't want to meet you, so please leave. A: You want me to leave? R: Yes. She said in a strict tone. Armaan felt sad: You are saying this because you are still upset with me. R: No, who am I to be upset with you? A: Basket, please I swear I tried to call u so many times but the stupid rains had hampered the networks. Riddhima turned away from him: you could have left have a message or an email. Armaan closed his eyes thinking how this did not occur to him. Ridddhima continued: but why would you care? After all u had a HUGE mission to complete. Do you know I called u so many times and even emailed you but you chose not to reply? Of course why would you reply to somebody who doesn't matter to you? Armaan smiled hearing her say all that, it made him feel special. He walked in front of her n spoke: I didn't do anything on purpose; I really didn't check my email this whole week as I wanted to wrap up things and return. I had apologized rite? Riddhima huffed: Apology rejected. A: Ok you want me to hold ears and say sorry. She nodded. Armaan chuckled on her antics. He held both her ears n said sorry. Riddhima's mouth formed a perfect O. She jerked his hands away. A: What? R: What what? Why are you holding my ears? A: You only said to. R: I said to hold yours not mine. A: Oh I thought you wanted me to hold your ears. R: Don't act innocent Armaan. She said irritatingly. A: I'm sorry Basket. Riddhima saw earnest in his eyes and so she shook her head motioning him not to hold his ears. He smiled and hugged her. A: Waisey how come you accepted the gift when my apology wasn't? R: How could I say no to such a cuteee bunny? Thanks for the gift and these roses Armaan. A: No thank you Basket for accepting these and forgiving me. These 7 roses are for each day that i troubled u. R: Then you should have got 9 roses. Armaan smiled: Oh so you were counting days also? R: No. Armaan shook his head, took out 2 roses from his back and gave it to Riddhima: one for not being able to come before leaving & this is for today. Now smile. Riddhima moved closer and hugged him: I missed you, A: I missed u too Basket. He said wrapping his arms around her.

The remaining day went in a haste playing, chatting n munching on snacks with kids. Armaan Riddhima move out of kids' room after putting them to sleep. Riddhima switched on the night bulb and slowly closed the door. Armaan asked for hot chocolate in garden, she nods and leaves to prepare it while Armaan sat on swing. She came with 2 mugs. A: Ab bhi naraz ho mujhse? Riddhima shakes her head in no. A: Phir mujhse baat kyun nahi kar rahi? R: Bol to rahi hun. She closes all the lights of garden and settles besides him. A: You know whenever I visited Switzerland, I always wanted to build a resort of my own, but it was extremely difficult to get a land there. Now a businessman is holding an auction of his land in Switzerland and it's perfect for my dream resort. He'll be giving the land not on price of it but on the basis of who uses it best. All interested parties need to give a presentation, I'm really looking forward to this as it will be my first solo project. The other companies participating are old and experienced in this field, I'm really nervous about it. You think i should go for it? R: Of course Armaan you should. So what if others are experienced, you'll also get experienced once you cross this stage, but to succeed you need to only concentrate on your presentation and not on the outcome. See that small star, how it's twinkling despite of being alone and in pitch darkness, it doesn't give up. Similarly however dark a situation gets, there's always a small ray of hope somewhere that we need to find and follow. Armaan keeps looking at her. He gazes at the star then back to her and takes her in a bear hug: thank u Basket. You're with me, right? Ri: Always! Do you need to go back to Malaysia again? A: Filhaal nahin. Tum kyun pooch rahi ho? R: Aise hi. She couldn't seem to forget the nightmare but chose not to tell Armaan.
