"WHAT???"
Nd with this there prevailed a deadly silence.. armaan didn't dare to utter anything while riddhima's whole world got crashed leading her to one's most miserable state.. after almost good 5mins riddhima finally started with great difficulty choking in between her statement.. "sha.. shadi?? Aisey achanak??"
That was all she managed to ask while her eyes started flowing unknown to her own consent..
"aur koi rasta nahi tha basket.. mom ne meri liye ladki pasand karli hain aur wohh bahot khush hain iss baat se.. aur tu janti hain na how much I luv her.. main unka dil nahi tod sakta.." he said helplessly..
"aur merey dil ka kya?? Ussey toh tod diya na tumney.." although she whispered to herself but armaan clearly heard it.. "kuch kaha tuney??" he asked only to make her fumble wth her words.. "na.. nahi.. umm.. wohh main soch rahi thi ki tujhey nhi lagta tujhey aunty se baat karni chahiye.. I mean aisey compromise karke whole life..." but her words got cut in between as armaan spoke.. "it's okk yaar basket.. waisey bhi aaj nahi toh kal shadi toh karni hi thi.. aur ladki main pasand karun ya mom kya fark padhta hain.."
Riddhima closed her eyes tight nd tried hard to control her maddening heart beat.. "par tu toh arrange marriage mein believe nahi karta tha.. toh aab kya ho gaya??"
"actually basket.. I met dat gal.. she's truly an amazing person yaar.. wohh baki ladkiyo jaisi nahi hain.. bahot pyari hain.. innocent.. sweet aur haan thodi pagal bhi.. I kind of liked her alrdy.." he answered dreamily only to make her heart burn even more..
"u alrdy met d gal??" came her painful n dejected voice..
"haan.. isi liye toh i wasn't able to receive ur call or text u back.. sorry yaar.. hope u r not mad at me.." he said sweetly..
"do I hve d ri8 to be mad at u,armaan??" she couldn't hlp but asked hlplessly..
"oyee.. kya hua tujhey?? Tu kaisi baatein kar rahi hain.. of course u've.. stupid.. meri best frnd hain tu.." came his jolly reply..
"yeah ri8.. best frnd.. dat's all.." she mumbled under her breathe feeling sarcastic seeing her fate.. here she was planning to say all this to armaan to knw his feelings but like alwaz god had other plans.. her drama got scrambled before being started nd his wedding actually got fixed dat too wth sum1 else nd if dat wasn't enuf, he has alrdy fallen for dat gal.. why god why?? why do u do dis to me every time?? Riddhima felt like jumping from her balcony then n there but controlled her dangerous thoughts juz on time..
"oyee.. u dere, ri8??" he poked getting back her attention..
"yes armaan.. aur kahan jayungi.."
"kya hua basket.. tu bahot low sound kar rahi hain??" he asked concernedly..
His concerned tone forced her to laugh at her brutal fate.. but she controlled again.. "kuch nahi armaan.. juz too tired.. upar se kal work load bhi bahot zyada hain.. umm.. if u dnt mind, main so jayun abhi??"
"arrey of course.. gd9t basket.. zyada stress mat le.. so ja abhi.. byee.."
"bye armaan.." she whispered and the line became dead.. she still kpt on sitting dere spot rooted holding her phone near her ear.. dnt knw why but this bye' sounded to her for ever.. she felt devastated.. shattered.. heart broken.. nd without being able to control anymore, she threw her phone on d bed nd nxt burst out into loud cry, pouring all her frustration out.. her pain was getting high to higher as the convo kpt on replaying in her head again n again.. he is going to get married...!!! This fact juz kpt on haunting her throughout d night gifting her a painful sleepless torturing night..

"goooddd morning princess..." armaan wished pari cheerfully after removing the duvet from her face..
"sone do na mamu.." came her pouting answer..
"no ways.. get up.. it's alrdy 8 swthrt.." he said after pecking her forehead lovingly.
Slowly princess opened her eyes nd gave him d cutest smile of hers.. she stretched her arms nd getting the clue armaan took her in a bear hug.. armaan sat on her bed nd made princess cozy on his lap.. in return princess juz dug her face in d crook of his neck nd embraced her mamu.. "I missed u so much mamu.." she said nd pecked his cheek..
"nd I missed u too my snow-white.." armaan hugged her cozily making her giggle..
"tch mamu.. gudgudi (tickle) hoti hain.." nd with this armaan made the hug cozier dan before only to hear her cute laughter.. "mamuuu.." she whined nd armaan finally broke d hug..
"u knw wat baby.. u remind me of sumone.. wohh bhi aapke jaisi ticklish hain.. minor touch se hi ussey itni gudgudi hoti hain ki poocho mat.." armaan said remembering his basket.. oh!! he juz can't get enuf of his basket..
"ahem ahem.." princess faked a cough nd as a result armaan blushed badly being caught by his lill niece..
"omg.. mamuu.. u r blushing.." princess said cutely nd pulled his both cheeks.. "u r choo cute mamu.."
"i.. I'm not cute angel.. boys cute nahi hote.." armaan said feeling embarrassed...
"hote hain.. aur yeh raha proof merey samney.. my cutie mamu.." princess teased him even more poking his dimples making him more embarrassed..
"angel.. nahi na.." armaan said pouting nd finally princess agreed not to tease her darling mamu anymore..
"ok.. par mamu.. aap itney happy kyun ho subah subah??" she asked cutely..
"arrey haan.. thank uu for d hlp baby.." armaan said joyfully making angel confused to the core..
"par mainey kiya kya??" she asked while thinking hard..
"u dnt knw but u hlpd a lot.. remember kal jab hum di nd jeej ki wedding album dekh rahe the nd tum di ko tease kar rahi thi about how she did all drama to make jeej jealous nd all.."
"par ussey kya hua mamu??"
"ussey mujhey ek awsm idea mila..!!"
"idea???"
"yup.. wohh kya hain na kaal raat..." nd armaan narrated princess everything about him nd his basket nd how he used their famous jealous funda on her..
"omg!!! Mamuu aapko aisa nahi karna chahiye tha.. bechari wohh didi.. wohh kitna dukhi hogi.. aapney jhoot kyun kaha unsey??"
"par jhoot kisney kaha??"
"mamuu.. meko gussa na dilao.. aapney nahi kaha uss di se.. wait kya naam bataya apney.. umm.. haan.. riddhima.. apney riddhima didi se yeh kyun kahan ki aap nxt month shadi kar rahe ho.. yeh jhoot nhi toh kya hain.. bolo bolo??"
"haan kaha toh par yeh jhoot nahi hain.." armaan confessed earnestly making angel confused..
"yes baby.. yeh sach hain.. mainey mom nd aunty dono se baat karli hain nd dono ne khushi khushi haan bhi keh di hain.. in fact mom toh itni khush hain ki unhone date bhi fix kar li.. mainey basket se sach hi kaha hain bas ussey yeh nahi bataya ki dulhan kaun hain.." armaan winked nd princess jumped in joy.. "woww mamuu apki sach mein shadi hone wali hain.. yeayyy.." nd hugged him tight..
__________________________________________
"hi dii.." princess sang in super excited tone but in return got riddhima's dull nd low reply.. "hii angel.. kaisey ho aap??"
Princess at once sensed her di's mood nd asked concernedly.. "kya hua di?? Aapney wohh bhaiya ko msg ki?? Kuch kaha kya unhoney??"
Riddhima sighed nd closed her eyes in pain.. "nahi bata payee baby.. kyunki.." she paused remembering last night's chat nd thn completed her answer sadly.. "kyunki wohh khud shadi kar raha hain kisi aur se.. agle mahiney.." nd again her recently dried eyes got welled up blurring her vision..
"what??" princess shouted being completely shocked...
"hmm.. he's getting married.. nd he's happy wth it.." riddhima closed her eyes nd let the tear stream flow..
"oh my dii.. plz dii.. aap rona nahi.." nd princess's words juz broke all d barrier nd she burst out into loud cry.. "dii.. plzz.. sshh.." but before they can talk more someone opened the door of princess's room..
"kis ko chahiye late night ice cream treat??" princess got scared nd at once threw d phone inside her duvet after cutting d call nd looked at d source smiling meekly.. "umm.. mamu.. aap.. iss waqt.." she stammered making armaan frown.. he came to her slowly nd without saying anything directly removed her duvet nd discovered d chorldless.. "kissey baat kar rahi thi itni raat ko??" princess closed her eyes tight nd gulped in fear.. "mainey kuch poocha.. kissey baat kar rahi thi aap bachcha??" this time armaan lowered his tone nd being seated beside her, he asked affectionately.. "wohh mamu.." she took a deep breathe nd asked finally.. "pehle promise me aap mujhey dantoge nahi??" her question made armaan tensed but he maintained his composure nd encouraged her to open up.. nxt princess told armaan everything.. how she dialed numerous wrong numbers to contact her papa nd ended up calling this dii.. wat dey talked.. how easily they jelled up etc etc.. armaan listened to everything nd concluded in his mind dat her unknown di is good as a person but still its not good to talk to sum1 anonymous wen she's so small.. who knws if dat gal is sumone evil or wat.. he thn took princess in his arms nd started slowly.. "but bachcha.. aapko aisey kisi anjaan se baat nahi karni chahiye.."
"par mamu.. wohh bahot achchi hain.. unhoney kabhi kuch nahi poocha mujhsey.. hum bas aisey hi baat kartey hain.."
"fir bhi bachcha.. u r juz a kid.. aapko nahi pata log kitney.."
"tch mamu.. main itni bhi choti nhi hoon.. u knw wat ur angel is very smart.."
"yaeh yeah.. I knw dat.." he said chuckling..
"aapko blve nahi hota... toh suno.." nd wth ds she narrated how she advised dat dii to use j-factor on her boyfrnd... nd hearing dat armaan couldn't hlp but burst out into laughter.. "omg.. u actually advised her this aur woh bhi man gayee.. hahahaha.. I must say dat dii of urs is crazier dan u.. hahahaha.."
"aab issmey itni hasneywali kya baat hain.. apney bhi toh yehi formula use kiya na riddhima didi pe.. aap bade ho toh smart aur main choti hoon toh crazy.. huh.. mujhey nhi karni apsey baat.."
"well.. point toh hain.. achcha baba sorry.. u r d smartest.. abhi khush??"
"meko nahi chahiye jhooti tareef.."
"uff.. yeh aaj kal ke bachey bhi na.. arrey meri maa.. main jhoot nhi keh raha.. u r really d most intelligent n d smartest kid I've ever seen.."
"sachii??"
