Heyy sweeties..I'm here with one of my last challenges.. this one was challenged by Kriti...
The door of the porsche opened..and a girl got out.
She was wearing a red off shoulder dress that came upto her knee.
She had put on minimum makeup..making her look even more breathtaking. Every step she took made heads turn towards her.
But she looked well accustomed to such reactions and did not bother much.
She turned swiftly towards the person and glared at him.. He had parked his bike right infront of her.
She almost opened her mouth to give him a piece of her mind...when he removed his helmet and began setting his hair.
She found herself drowning in those brown eyes for a moment... But as she saw him walking towards her, she came out of her trance.
It was so not her to argue with someone for such a matter. So rolling her eyes she began walking again...
The guy looked at her retreating back and smirked to himself... He too walked right into the hospital so as not to be late on his very first day.
All this was being witnessed by a pair sitting inside their car which they had parked a while back..
' yeh ho kya raha tha?' the man in the car asked..
'wohi jo 25 years pehle hua tha armaan... Yaad hai humari first day in sanjeevani' the woman spoke dreamily.
' kaise bhool sakta hoon basket... But kya ye bhi??' armaan asked his wife ridhima
' ho sakta hai.. Shayad...' ridz spoke.. Trying to control her giggles as she understood armaan's concern..
' tumhe hasi aa rahi hai?!! Beti hai woh humari... Protective toh feel karunga hi' armaan replied with a pout.
Rudhima just shook her head and kissed his cheeks... And before he could respond she was out of their car...sticking her tongue out at him.
Armaan just shook his head.. At his wifes behaviour.. A lazy smile playing on his lips all the while as he too followed her inside.

It was kriyas first day as the MD of malik empires.. And she decided to start her day by paying a visit to sanjeevani...since it was very close to her parents and dadu.
She just walked around the hospitAl .. Taking in its surroundings with more interest now. This was not the first time she visited this hospital... But today was different. She had more responsibility on her shoulder now...of the entire malik empire.
Her parents were famous doctors in this very hospital... But since she had always been more interested in business she opted for commerce. And even then she was glad that she was a part of this hospital...though not as a doctor..but as its owner!
After sometime she made her way into her parents cabin .
She went in and hugged her mom and dad.. Who were none other than armaan n riddhima.
' so plan kya hai baccha? Aaj hi main company join karogi?' asked armaan.
Armaan stared at his daughter in awe..his eyes a little misty..
' my doll has grown up...kitni jaldi time guzar gaya...' armaan said.
'If u both are done..then please.. Main bhi idhar hoon' ridz pouted... And all of them had a group hug.
' ohk then.. Aap log continue kijiye... Let me just go to my cabin.. And yes ofcourse meet the new interns!' kriya said and left.
Both armaan and ridhima smiled from within at their daughters retreating back.

All the interns had gathered in the hospital reception and were getting well accustomed to each other... Some faces looked anxious whereas some said a different story of excitement.
But the one thing they all shared was their aim...which was to serve people and save lives.
'yaar ab bas internship kaise bhi karke kat jaye... Only then i can breathe peacefully' one of the interns, named vicky said.
'oye... Agar doctor bana hai toh be ready to face the impossible...' his friend replied.
Rey was a playboy and never much into serious relationships.. And by just one look at her, he found himself doing what he is best at...Flirting!
'No need to be confused..or nervous.. And just chill.. I'm not your senior doctor'..the girl said, giving that charming smile of her's. 'So...all tensed up?? it looks like that atleast..so come on! dont be nervous... Infact look at the brighter said... your finally just a step away from achieving your dreams!!' she said, trying to calm them down.
They all looked at her with awe..as she had really hit a chord with them.
'What's your name... And who are you?' another intern asked. All this while Rey was silently observing her...and he could'nt help but feel this strong attraction towards her. This was so unlike him!
'Well...I'm Kriya Mallik...the MD of Mallik Empires.. 'Kriya finally revealed her identity..only to hear gasps echo across the room.
But Rey looked confused...'Itne suprised kyun lag rahe hai sab?? Aisa kya keh diya issne?' Rey asked..looking at Kriya..drinking in her every feature.'Aree she's the MD of MALLIK EMPIRES!! tu janta bhi hai...sanjeevani comes under Mallik empires!!!'Vicky whispered back to Rey.
'Oh i see... wait! whatt??!!!' Rey looked at Vicky wide eyed.
Kriya could'nt help but chuckle at their reaction...'GUYS..calm down.. yaha main bhi tum logon ke jaise hi ayi hoon...just as you have to do internship before becoming a doctor... I've planned to work as the hospital administrator for a while..before I take up my post' kriya replied lightly..as if it was no big deal.
Bt the next moment he hit his own head...'yeh kya soch raha hai REy!! ladkiya tere peeche bhaagti hai...not vice versa..'Rey thought..confused at this sudden weird feelings that arouse in his heart.
2 weeks later-
If rey tried flirting with her...than rather than blushing or shying away..Kriya either flirted right back or if she was not in a good mood..would just glare at him, giving him the que to stop.
And with every small encounter between Kriya and himself, Rey could'nt help but fall for her more and more..every passing day.
One such day...Rey returned home and all he could do was to think about Kriya..how she talked, how she moved, how she smiled..and so on...
She affected him so much that he had also began imagining her presence all around him!
That was it... Rey could no longer run away from his feelings... He indeed was madly, crazily and head over heels in love with Kriya! After finally accepting his feelings to himslef...Rey felt much lighter.. And found himself unable to stop smiling at the realization!
he slept well that night... after a lot of thinking, he had atlast decided to profess his feelings to kriya the very next day!
**
Next morning itself Rey got hold of Kriya and asked her to meet him in the coffee shop after her working hours...and kriya gladly accepted the offer.
At about 7 in the evening, Kriya reached the coffee shop..to be greeted by an already present Rey.
'heyy..' kriya said..as she settled in the seat opposite to him..
'hey..' rey greeted back nervously..
After placing their orders..Rey finally gathered some courage to speak up. 'Kriya..woh main.. i wanted to tell you something' rey said.
'Haan i know u might want to...why else would you call me over after a tiring day for you guys' Kriya encouraged him to speak further.
'Woh..woh.. I dont know when how or why.. but I am in love with you like crazy!' Rey said in a go...his eyes shut tight with fear.
Rey's happiness knew no bounds after listening to her reply...and wasting no time he took her in a tight hug. He also handed her the chocolates and flowers he had bought with himself.
After sometime and light chit chats.. both walked hand in hand outside the shop...Rey slightly kissing her hand, looking deep into her eyes.
A month had passed since Kriya and Rey were in a relation.. All their close friends knew about them..and were very happy for the two.
One day, Neha, who was also one of the intern as well as Kriya's close friend sat in her cabin and they were busy having light convos... She looked little disturbed and seemed to be lost in thoughts.
'What's up Neh..??'kriya asked sensing something wrong. Neha looked right at her..as if contemplating whether she should speak or not..
'come on nehh..speak up!' kriya ordered..losing her last strand of patience.
'Woh kriya.. I dont want you to take this in th wrong way but..ever since you and Rey have started dating, there is a drastic drop in his intership marks and...' Neha looked up to fina Kriya go numb for a moment..
But the very next moment, Kriya cut her in between...'What?!' Kriya got up from her seat, almost dramatically.
I really dont think this relationship is worth for Rey's drop in his internship marks! I've never been serious with him and...was just looking for a chance to tell him this.. I might gotta hurry...' Kriya vent out her feelings infront of Neha..holding her head in frustration.
Kriya just saw him bang the door with his fist and leave the cabin without looking back.
He had totally changed from the fun loving guy...to an arrogant and serious one.
after a few attempts..Kriya thought it was best for her to stay away from him...inorder to hurt him less. Because whatever the case was...he was a good friend to her before all.
A few days later a party was to be thrown at Vicky's farmhouse... as it was his birthday. All the interns and Kriya as well was invited to the party.
Upon Vicky's insistance, even Rey had givenup and agreed to come to his party.
Rey just sat in one of the corners observing everything around him. He was a changed man now...and he knew it well. And the reason for this change was HER..kriya!
Never in his dreams had he thought he would hear hat from her...that their relation was more of a play and nothing serious for her! Rey closed his eyes and held his fist tight as he felt all the pent up anger rushing right back.
'Atlast aa hi gayi madam! pata hai we have been waiting for you since half an hour Kriya!!' Neha complained.
Upon hearing of her arrival...Rey's eyes shot open.. He again found himself drinking in her appearance..his was the first time he ever saw Kriya dressed up for a party.
And despite of everything that transpired between them, he could'nt control himself from checking... Godd! blame the male hormones for all this!
She had minimum make up on..and the smoky eye makeup completed the sexy look.
In an instant Rey found himself looking around him..and quiet unsuprisingly he found majority of the male population out ther ogling at kriya.. And some looked simply stumped by her beauty!
Taking in a deep breath, Rey reminded himself that he nomore had any rights on Kriya..and that he should'nt care! but his heart protested.
Without thinking twice he accepted the offer and stood adjacent to where kriya was. She looked at him dancing with some random chick...but just rolled her eyes in response. As if she was'nt affected a bit.
Whereas Kriya seemed obvious of all this as she was busy dancing around with all...
Rey's fist tightened as he watched the guy trying to pull Kriya against himself...and is one hand trying to pull up her top!
The guy stumbled back wincing in pain... but left without uttering a word as he understood he was caught.
Rey was still flaring in anger at Kriya and her carelessness...and all his pent up anger towards her resurfaced! He pulled her against him...and that is when Kriya realized his pesence.
She struggled to get rid of him but his hold jsut tightened..and he pulled her even more close to himself. The kiss was filled wih anger, pain, possesiveness and...feelings! Which Rey himself could'nt define at the moment.
He would have called it love...if Kriya had'nt broken his heart so bad.
Kriya's eyes filled with tears as she realized what Rey had jsut done, this was the first time they kissed..as they had'nt come to kissing in their short span of relationship.
She looked around to find all still busy in their world..dancing and having fun..and a few making out too. Hardly anybody had noticed them.. So wiping off her tears, Kriya made a silent escape from the party.
****
Kriya had also taken up her post as the MD of the Mallik Empires.
After months of trying...Armaan had enough of his daughter's adamancy.
****
She tried moving but was unable to do so...that was when realization struck her! she was handcuffed and her mouth was tied with a piece of cloth.
She looked around frantically...as the truth of being kidnapped just dawned upon her.
'Dont look at me that way...'he said as he picked her up from the backseat... 'And ohh yeah did I tell you.. We are getting married today!' Rey grinned.
Kriya looked at him shocked! That's when she looked around to find themselves entering one of the temples!
The priest had already been paid beforehand by Rey and so without any question regarding Kria's condition...he continued chanting the prayers.
****
About two hours later Rey had taken Kriya to one of the beaches there. She was still struggling with the cloth in her mouth and her handcuff.
He walked towards the shore...and she followed him somehow...tahnkgod her legs were'nt tied..she thought.
But at the same time I dont think I can ever love anyone other than you again... I cant imagine anyone else in my life.. And i cant see anyone else with you either.. And believe me when i saY I tried to forget you...but i just could'nt!
Even that day at vicky's party...I could'nt see you close with any other guy..and that's the reason I lost all my cool! And i realized it then...that inspite of knowing you dont love me...I still love you!
And that is the reason..you may call it my craziness...that you are here with me as my wife! Please forgive me...I could'nt digest it when i heard your dad fixed your marriage elsewhere from one of my colleagues..
And right then God knows what got into me... I should'nt have.. I'm sorry..' Rey said..without actually knowing what exactly to tell Kriya now after all this.
He looked up to see her struggling to speak.. he quickly freed her and stood back. bUt the next moment he was welcomed with a hurdle of curses...'YOU IDIOT, STUPID, MORON, DUFFER, ...' kriya contiued...
'do you have any idea what you have done!! You have no idea do you?? I have been in love with you ever since i first met you! but when i got to know it's affecting your internship.. i had no option but to keep you away from me!
that day in my cabin..I had seen you enter already...and spoke that way to neha on purpose! so that you would get over me..and concentrate on your internship instead!
And i was just about to confront you today and tell you about my feelings...as my dad wanted me to bring home the one I love! I love you rey... It has always been you!'
Kriya finally let it all out...leaving Rey shocked and at the same time pleasantly suprised!
after a long kiss..both parted,breathing hard...and their foreheads still touching...
'And I love you...' kriya said still panting for air...
'I love you soo much that it's beyond definition Kriya...' Rey said looking into her eyes.
'Hmm...Toh chale? papa wait kar rahe honge!' Kriya told him..feeling shy all of a sudden.
'Chalo wifey..' Rey told her.. smiling at her cuteness...She was all his now..he thought proudly.
He had his arms around her..as they walked towards their car... both were very much content in each others embrace after all the hurdles they'd faced in the past.
Neverthless, they were happy now...and eager to enter into a blissfull married life that awaited them ahead.
