AR FF... FROM THE TIME I SAW YOU...

PART 21...

After Valentines day celebration and spending the next day family, friends and lovers with their love once, everyone were back to work... Gang plan they would be spending every Sunday with each other in Armaan farmhouse or in Atul house...

As they do different kinds of work, it would be really not possible to meet each other every day... But Armaan and Riddhima were lucky as they work together in same office... That too with each other, both get time to see at least...

IN MALLIK ENTERPRISE...

It was almost lunch time and Riddhima was busy checking some dresses which was done for the fashion show which would be held a month or 2... Armaan was deciding a date with Mr.Billy Mallik and other financial staff...

One dress was not done the way Riddhima wants, so she was re-doing the work again...
As she leave her hair open much time, as she was so lost in her work she pull it into a messy bun and put a pencil to hold it in the place...

Some hairs were falling in to her forehead and disturbing... Every 2 seconds, she moves it from her hand but as she was bending down a little towards to the dress...

Riddhima was sitting on the floor with the a beautiful lehenga on her lap... She was correcting the border as it was a mess while the tailor finished it today...
'Offo... Pata nehi yeh Tailor kiya ho gaya hai...
Kitni baar samjhaya kaise karte hai aur dekho... Uff... Mujhe closely suporvice karna padti hai... Nehi toh kuch na kuch gadbad jarur karenge...
Yeh toh sabse special lehenga hai... Show stopper ki lehenga sabse zyada khoobsurat hona chahiyeh...' Riddhima keep blabbering as her hands were busy with the lehenga...

She didn't know when the other employees left for lunch ending the work in middle... She was sitting near the window with her back towards the main door of the design room which mean to be where the tailors and models work...

She was so lost whatever she had been doing, she didn't realized a pair of blue eyes were watching her every movement closely...

IN CONFERENCE HALL...

Armaan gave three dates which the hall would be available for them to held the biggest fashion show...
As they had been getting more new orders, every single person were busy in their respective work...

It was a good improvement to Mallik company as they had been getting more orders from different countries...
'So ladies and gentlemen, I was thinking it would be a honor to held this fashion show with so many new people would be visiting...
I got a list of people who we could invite' Armaan said showing a list, 'Mrs. Sharma, I would like u to invite all the guest... Please make sure u send the invitation to the right address...'
'Sir, so did u finalized a date...???' Mr. Singhania ask who was one of the organizer of the fashion show...
'Yes Mr. Singhania...
It would be after two months the date of April 20...
Let me clearly tell u all, I don't want any mistake... As I had clearly give every person their respective work, one mistake and u will be out from the next show we held...' Armaan said...

Everyone got quite knowing Armaan mean whtever he says and always follow it...
'Mrs. Khanna and Mr. Mehra, did u contact all the model's?' Armaan asked checking the watch as it would be soon lunch time...
'Yes Sir...
As we need 20models for the new design Ms. Gupta would be presenting, we got model's for every particular dress...' Mrs. Khanna inform...
'That's good...
I would like to get every information about the model's on my table end of tomorrow... Can I Mr. Mehra.??' Armaan ask...
'Sure sir...'
'So as the date is final, I would like all to put ur affects in to this show..
It would be a very good opportunity us to show the whole world or hard working...' Armaan said...
'Mr. Mallik...
Did u decide where we r gonna held the show?' Mr. Singh another organized asked...
'Yes... Sorry I forgot to inform, we will be going to PARIS this time...
Ms. Khan, Please check the budget and lets see if we could afford to go PARIS... Or we might had to choose another place... Let me know in a week time please...' Armaan said standing as he had took 15mins of their lunch...
'Sorry ladies and gentlemen I took so much time, u could cover up the time and come back to work after 1hr... See u... Please keep updating me...' Armaan left the room...

Armaan went to his cabin to see if Riddhima was waiting for him or not.. It was now a daily routine for both of them to have lunch together... Sometime's becox of work, both stay in the office and have dinner too...

Armaan didn't find Riddhima so he thought she might be in her cabin... Armaan look from the glass window but her cabin was empty like most of the time...
'Yeh Riddhima kaha rehgayi...' Armaan thought checking his watch again...
It was showing 1 30 and no sign of Riddhima.. 'Maybe she caught of some work...'
Armaan went outside to see Mr. Mishra who manage the designing department...
'Mr. Mishra... Aapne Ms. Gupta koh kahin dekha?' Armaan ask blocking his way...
'Sir.. Woh toh sab dresses check kar rahi ti tohdi der pehle...' He said...

Armaan didn't need to know more... He understood, his lady love must be still busy with her work...
'Thank god Madam kaam main busy hai...
Nehi toh mujhe kehte hai main apne employees koh lunch ke time bhi kaam karate hai...' Armaan said moving to see his lady love...
Opening the door the design room, Armaan look around scanning the room to catch on sight of his lover...
He saw her sitting near the window, doing her work...

ARMAAN POV...

I open the door, I was desperate to see one sight of Riddhima... My lady love...
Its been 3hrs I haven't seen her and I was already missing her a lot... Also I need to talk her about the arrangement of the show which would be held in Paris or some other country she would like to change it or if we doesn't had enough budget...

I saw Riddhima sitting on the floor with a red gold lehenga on her lap... It was a really beautiful one, one of the finest design of her... He love it the first time his eyes laid on it, and he was thinking about something from the very minute...

I move his gazed to her face which was making so much faces due to irritation becox of the hairs which was coming on her forehead disturbing her work...
She moves the hair from her hand but it still keep falling to kiss the soft skin of her...

Some were kissing around her cheeks as she had put her hair into a messy bun holding it together with a pencil...
Smile form in my face seeing the cute scene... I know something wasn't right with the lehenga thats were she was making so much different faces...

She was blabbering about something or if I am not wrong, at the very moment she was cursing the tailors for not doing the job right...
I move slowly close to her as her back was towards me, she didn't felt my present... She was so much busy with her work, she had forgot to check the time...

I sat behind her looking she was correcting the border which was done neatly half and other half to be done...
'Yeh toh sabse special lehenga hai... Show stopper ki lehenga sabse zyada khoobsurat hona chahiyeh' I heard her saying and smile how much she show the interest about the design which is done by her...

I look around to see where she kept the dupatta of the lehenga...
I just wanted to do wht I had been thinking a month ago, my eyes laid on the dupatta of the lehenga which was kept not far from her on the chair...
Not making a noise, I took the dupatta and came back sitting behind her back I put the dupatta on her head...

ARMAAN POV END

RIDDHIMA POV

I was getting irritated as the work was taking so much time and I had so much other works to look after... I felt the atmosphere quite and thought others must return back to their works leaving her doing whtever she had to do...
I only didn't know I wasn't alone in the room till I felt something was kept on my head hiding it... I was a little taken back. thinking who could dare to do something like this...

I turn around to blasted on that person, as I thought someone was having fun again... I didn't only know the time I turn around, I would be lost to the person I love the most after my parents, di, jeeju and friends...
I was lost in those blue eyes, my surrounding fades only I was able to see was those blue eyes which shows only deep pure love and care for me...
'U look more beautiful then these design lehenga and dupatta.. .Ur beauty makes it beautiful...' I came back to sense when I heard his voice praising me...

RIDDHIMA POV END

Riddhima look away breaking the eye lock, red color rose in her cheeks...
'Oye hoyye...' Armaan said as he saw the shades of Riddhima cheeks...
'Tum yaha kiya kar rahe ho Armaan...' Riddhima sad turning her back towards Armaan so she didn't had to look at his naughty smile which was playing on his lips...
'Jahan jahan aap, wahan wahan main...' Armaan said sitting with behind her and moving closed to her...
'Kiya kar rahi ho Armaan.. Koi aajaenge... Aur yeh...' She said taking the dupatta but Armaan held it there...
'uhun... Tum aise bohot khubsurat lagti ho...' Armaan said kissing on her hair...
'Armaan...' Riddhima said and she try to get up but Armaan hold her arm and make her sit back...
'Itni Jaldi nehi.. .
Abhi mere paas ek hr hai... So we both r going to spend with each other...' Armaan said..
'Mr. Mallik... Aapke paas hoga ek hr free.. Lekin mere paas nehi hai.. Mujhe bohot kaam hai... Aur haan aapne date and place finalized ki...' Riddhima said changing the subject soon...

Armaan knows Riddhima wasn't comfortable about those talks as it was working hrs and specially anyone might come inside...
'Mujhe usbaare main aapse baat karna hai Ms.Gupta.. Toh aap aapke cabin main jaenge ya mere cabin main..' Armaan said standing and forwarding his hand to Riddhima so she could stand...
'Nautanki...
Ek kaam karo...' Riddhima said standing holding Armaan hand and then checking the time...
'OMG... its almost end of lunch time...'
'Toh kiya huva.. Tumne toh abhi lunch kiya hi nehi... So lets have lunch in my cabin... Maine already khana order kardi... No excuse Ms. Gupta... I know tumne khana nehi khaya... Aur mujhe show ke baare main bhi baat karna hai... So meet me in 10mins in my cabin...' Armaan said and leave when he hears footstep outside the room...

After lunch people were getting back to work, so the people who was working under Riddhima, they came too...
'So Ms.Gupta... In my cabin please...' Armaan said as he saw employees coming inside and stop when they saw their boss there...
'Yes sir...' Riddhima said seeing how Armaan put the boss wala expression on his face..

Riddhima turn around to face others to give their respective works before leaving to meet Armaan in his cabin... She felt someone gaze and saw Armaan standing near the door and wink at her before leaving...
Automatically, smile form in Riddhima face... Smiling to see this new side of Armaan, Riddhima turn back to give introduction to others...

IN ARMAAN CABIN...

Armaan was talking on the phone...
To his surprise Ms. Khan check the budget as soon as she could... Armaan thank her and said he will make the list of whom will be going to Paris...
As he cut the call, he dial reception number and ask not to disturb him for an hr... He would be busy finalizing everything for the show...

There was a knock and Riddhima open the door...
'May I coming Sir..' Riddhima said naughty writing all over her face...
'Yes Ms.Gupta come in please...' Armaan said...
Riddhima was soon standing in front of Armaan table with files on her hand... Before Riddhima could say anything further, 'Please no more formality Riddhima... Mujhe bohot bhuk laga hai... Lunch karte hai...' Armaan said standing and moving to the couch which was left side of the room...
'Oh god Armaan.. Mujhe nehi pata ta tum baaki sabse saamne itne acche acting karlete hai.. It was superb the way u changed ur expression...' Riddhima said as she follow Armaan after keeping the files she bring with her...

Armaan didn't say anything and just sit taking the plate and serving food by himself...
Riddhima also joins him... 'Kiya huva.. Ab kuch bola kyun nehi...' Riddhima ask taking a plate for herself...
'Maine pehle bhi kaha ta Riddhima..
Jo main baharse dikhta hoon, andar se woh kuch aur hai...
lekin tumne toh kaha bas tumhe yeh sab aati hai..' Armaan said...
'Maine aisa kab kaha.. Maine kaha bas main aapse zyada badmaash hoon..' Riddhima said...

Next few minutes they were bickering like kids... Knowing Armaan couldn't win from Riddhima, 'maan gayi aapko Ms.Gupta... Ab hum kaam ke baat kare...' Armaan said...
'Maine kab mana kiya Sir... Aap bolo kiya decide kiya hai...'
Armaan tell her everything he and other members decide...
'So hum kal model's koh dekhte hai... Tum aur main decide karenge kis model koh kiya pehena hai ok.??' Armaan said..
'Haan tik hai... Ab main chalu... Woh jo lehenga ka kaam kar rahi ti, use khatam karna hai jaane se pehle...' Riddhima said standing...

All this while Armaan and Riddhima were sitting on the couch... Riddhima stand up to leave but Armaan hold her and pull her so she lost her balance and fall on Armaan lap...
The moment Riddhima land on Armaan lap, Armaan put his hands around her waist... Riddhima hands were on his chest... Both were lost in each other eyes...

PART 22...

All this while Armaan and Riddhima were sitting on the couch... Riddhima stand up to leave but Armaan hold her and pull her so she lost her balance and fall on Armaan lap...
The moment Riddhima land on Armaan lap, Armaan put his hands around her waist... Riddhima hands were on his chest... Both were lost in each other eyes...

As Riddhima lost her balance, she closed her eyes... Her hands were on Armaan chest and she click hold of his shirt... She somehow felt she wouldn't get hurt but still she felt scared...
Armaan was lost in Riddhima the moment she land on him... He did it purpose but didn't expect her to fall so easily on him...

Armaan look at Riddhima face and so her angelic face with her beautiful eyes closed... He haven't seen her so closely today as both were busy in their work from morning...
Armaan move her hairs which was coming to her face hiding his view... He felt she shiver when his finger care her beautiful soft pinkish cheek...

~ RIDDHIMA POV ~

I was about to leave and was not expecting Armaan to pull me over... I lost my balance and next moment I was laying on Armaan lap with my hands on his chest...
My eyes got closed automatically as I fall on him knowing I wouldn't get hurt but the closeness make me feel shiver...
I felt my breathe got stuck feeling how closed we both were... I didn't get the courage to open my eyes and look at him...

Some moments goes like this with silent around us and neither I open my eyes or neither Armaan said anything or move...
I felt my hairs hiding my face and next moment I felt Armaan's cold fingers putting the hairs behind my ear... I thought he would just only put the hairs behind my ear but next moment I felt his cold fingers caring my cheek...
Shiver run down my spine making my heart beat fast... It was pumping to my chest ribs and I am sure even Armaan would feel how much fast my heart was beating that moment...

I still feel Armaan cold fingers caring my cheek... Closly I open my eyes to get lost in his eyes... Which shows only love and love for me...
I felt I was in another world with only he and me, no one else to disturb us... I look at his face admiring his every features closely...
His bold forehead with few hairs, his big eyes which shows only love and love for her... His manly lips which I want to feel badly...
'Oh god... Hold on Riddhima... What u r thinking..' A voice from my inside spoke...

I thought wht I had been thinking that suddenly I new voice started to speak inside from me...
'Baapre Riddhima...
Tumhe nehi pata tum kiya soch rahi ho... Tum Armaan koh admire karte karte yeh soch rahi ho...
uff mujhe toh bolne bhi sharam aa rahi hai... Tumhe uske lips koh dekh ke...' Again the voice spoke...

I look back to his lips and felt my cheeks hot when I remember wht I have been thinking...
'Yeh mujhe kiya ho raha hai... Maine Armaan koh...' I thought...
'Haan haan.. Wohi toh main bol rahi hoon.. Tumne kabhi aise socha nehi.. Lekin aaj...
Lagta hai sach main tujhe Armaan se khud se zyada pyar hogaye... Nehi toh tum aise pehle Siddhant ki saat hokhe bhi toh kabhi nehi sochte..' The voice said...
'Sach main...
Jabse Armaan se mila hai, tabse mujhe aise new new feeling hota hai...
Kiya yeh saccha pyar hai.. Kiya maine sahi kiya Armaan se haan kehke...
Kiya maine uske saat, saat rehne ki vaade karke sahi kiya...' My eyes were still on his face but my mind was thinking if I was right doing whtever I had been doing...

~ RIDDHIMA POV END ~

~ ARMAAN POV ~

The moment she fell on me, I put my hand around her waist holding her close... I didn't meant to make her fall like that... I just want to tell her something I had been thinking from the moment I know her with that lehenga which she was working on...
As we both had been talking about meeting the models, an idea came to my mind... So before she leaves, I thought to tell her wht I had been thinking...
I didn't know she would fall so easily when I pull her hand but I didn't regret for pulling her like that... Becox from morning I had been missing her and waiting to spend sometime with her... I guess, my waiting came to an end when she came into my arms...

When I got hold of her, I just couldn't move my eyes from her angelic face... She was looking beautiful as ever...
Every day she looks more beautiful and she makes me fall for her crazily... How can anyone could be so beautiful just like an angel who is send to the world just for him...
I didn't know when I started to admire her...
First thing I notice was that her beautiful eyes were closed... I didn't know why but I felt she was shivering in my hold...
Did the closeness make her feel uncomfortable or she is shivering becox of the blessing to be in my arms...???
This question was in my mind but soon I forgot seeing some hairs on her face, blocking my view...

Seeing those this I didn't know when my hand move upto her face and move the hairs away so I could seen her face... Putting those hairs behind her ear, I didn't feel to move my hand away from her face...
Slowly my hand move move upto her cheek and my fingers started to care her soft pinkich cheek...
When my fingers was caring her face, I felt her breathe got stuck somewhere as before I was feeling her breathe closed to chest.. Also I felt her heartbeat rosing so fastly that her heart was pumping on her chestrib and I could feel it as it was my own heart dancing becox of happiness that to know how much affects I got over her...

I was waiting for her to open her eyes so I could drown on it and forget the rest of the world... Than it would be only me and her.. No one else...
Seems like god heard my wish really soon and I saw her slowly opening her big green eyes... The moment I saw her open her eyes, soon I was lost in it... My surrounding faded around me and only I was seeing those beautiful eyes which was having so much love, sometimes confusion and sometimes care...
I didn't understand seeing what she was thinking... Her expression shows she was lost in my eyes the way I was in hers...

As I keep looking at her I saw her lowering her eyes breaking the eye lock... I just keep looking and thinking what was going through her mind...
I saw her moving her gaze on my lips and soon again look back to my eyes... As the expression which was on her face, I felt she was thinking deeply about something...
Her gaze moves back to my lips but I know her mind was busy in something else... Maybe thinking about something that she is confused...
Also her cheeks were more pinkish then before as if she was blushing thinking about something... I small shy smile was playing on her lips...

~ ARMAAN POV END ~

Their moment was broke by the phone...
Riddhima soon move away from Armaan and started to correct her dress and hair...
Armaan also stand and move to the table as the office line was ringing...
'Armaan main aapse baat main milti hoon..' Riddhima said and before Armaan could say anything she left the cabin...
Armaan look at the time and it was already 2 30pm and he knows something important had come over, not if no calls would be past to him as he stricklly ask Tanya (Receptionish) not to forward any calls to him as he will be busy discussing about the event with Riddhima...

Leaving Armaan to attend the call, Riddhima move out from the cabin... She hurriedly make her way to the designing room and saw everyone back in their respective works...
Soon she also involve with work trying to forget what just happen in Armaan cabin... . As she was checking the other design were done nice or not, she remember that she had left her file in Armaan cabin... Not wanting to face Armaan, she ask Mr.Mishra if he would go and bring the file for her...
Not questioning Mr.Mishra went to bring the file from Armaan cabin...

~ IN ARMAAN CABIN ~

Mr. Mehra call to inform Armaan that he had inform all the models to come over the office next day at 10am...
So they would be meeting and finalizing whom will be wearing which design of cloths...
Armaan was happy that everything was going smoothly and without any mistake so far...

Cutting the call, Armaan started to check other works which he had been left becox he needs to finalized this project before...
As he was checking the file, he saw Riddhima had left her files here in his cabin...
Armaan take the phone and was above to dial desigining room as she was not in her cabin there was a knock...
'Come in...' Armaan said keeping the phone.. He thought Riddhima came back to get her files... But to his disappointment it was Mr.Msihra...
'Sir... May I come in...' Mr.Mishra asked...
'Isse bhi abhi aana ta...' Armaan thought and faking a smile he asked to come in from his hand...
'Kuch kaam ta Mr.Mishra...???' Armaan asked looking back to his files which he was checking a few minutes ago...
'Sir... Woh Ms.Gupta ne kaha uski kuch files yaha rehgayi... Issiliye mujhe lene ke liyeh bheja...' Mr.Mishra said standing in front of Armaan table...
'Oh.. Haan yaha pada hai... Le lo...
Aur yeh files toh woh bhi aakhe le sakti ti na...' Armaan said looking at Mr.Mishra...
'Haan Sir... But woh kuch workers koh kaam bata rahi ti issiliye, mujhe bhej diya...' Mr.Mishra said...

Armaan nodd knowing this wouldn't the real reason...
'Kiya Riddhima koh bura laga, hum dono ne itni close huva...???
Lekin usko bura laga toh mujhe bata sakti ti na.. Aise kissi aur koh bhejne ka kiya matlab ho sakti hai...' Armaan keep thinking and Mr.Mishra left taking Riddhima's files and thanking Armaan...

~ END OF THE DAY ~

Armaan finished meeting with the new clients which came from Malaysia...
He was hoping to catch hold of Riddhima before leaving but to his disappointment, Riddhima had already left...
As the fashion show was getting near, it was not like Riddhima to leave so early...
'Maybe she didn't want to face me after wht happen this afternoon...
Kiya use itna bura laga.. Kahin woh mujhe galat toh nehi samajh rahi...
I think mujhe Riddhima koh call karna chahiyeh...' Armaan thought...

Before Armaan could took out his mobile, it started to ring... Armaan saw it was from home so knowing mom and dad will be waiting for him, he make his way out from the office...
Before driving off, he answer the call saying he is on the way home...
'Armaan woh...' Ananya try to talk but Armaan cut her.. ' Mom... I m on my way home... Main ghar jaakhe baat karta hoon aapse...' Not listing to her, he cut the call...

~IN MALLIK MANSION ~

Armaan was in a foul mood not knowing wht happen to Riddhima suddenly...
It hasn't been much days after their confession and whenever they spend close moment, Riddhima didn't behave like this and suddenly why today...
'Maybe becox they were in office...
Riddhima ne pehle bhi kaha ta... Humhe kaam ke waqt duriya maintain karna chahiyeh...
Usse bura laga hoga.. Lekin maine jaanbhuj kar toh nehi ki na aise...Maintoh bas use fashion ki baare main baat karne ke liye rukhna chahta ta...' Armaan thought...

Armaan stop the car in front of the main door and came out to see servant running towards him..
Giving the car keys to him, Armaan move inside to be greeted by Ramukaka...
'Kaka... Mom kaha hai...' Armaan ask as he took his bag and jacket from him...
'Sab aapka wait kar raha hai dining area main hai...' Kaka said...
'Accha...
Main fresh hokhe aata hoon... Mom koh bol dena mere dinner room main bhijvade...' Armaan said moving to go upstairs...

As Armaan was crossing near the dining area, he heard some other ppl were with his family...
'Ghar main koan aaya hai Kaka...' Armaan asked as Kaka was coming behind him...
'Woh beta, kuch guest aaya hai... Issiliye aapke papa ne kaha aapko yeh bata ne ke liye neeche aakhe dinner karna...' Kaka said..
'Oh.. Tik hai main fresh hokhe neeche aata hoon...
Mere liye dinner upar mat laana Kaka...' Saying this Armaan went to his room...

After 15mins Armaan came to join the dinner with others and guest's who came...
He was thinking who might these guest be as no one tell him that anyone were to come for dinner...
Armaan came to dining area to see his dad sitting on special place of his... Left side his mother and Nikki were sitting and right side with their back to the door other 4people were sitting...
'Bhai aagaya...' Nikki said seeing Armaan coming...
'Armaan.. U r late today...
Aur maine kabse tumhara phone try kar rahi ti...' Ananya complain seeing her son...
'Mom.. Dad knows I was in meeting...
Dad aapne mom koh bataya nehi...' Armaan asked as he move inside and to sit next to Nikki were there was empty chair as others were already occupied...

Armaan saw Billy biting his tongue and it proves he really had forgot to inform Ananya...
'Dad..Aap bina... Bhool gaya...' Armaan said...
'Woh toh Billy ka aadat hai.. Bhoolna...' Said one of the guest...
Armaan look at the guest and he was surprise to see it was the Gupta's... Atul wasn't there to see but Anjali had come with them...
Riddhima was sitting in between Padma and Anjali... She was playing with her food not looking at him...
'Aap log yaha... Namaste Uncle... Aunty...' Armaan said joining his hands...
'Jeete raho...' Shashank and Padma give him blessing not moving from their places as they already started their dinner...
'Hi Anjy...' Armaan said and Anjali reply with a 'Hey...'

Armaan look at Riddhima and still she didn't look at him but was looking everywhere else...
'Lagta hai naraz hai...' Armaan thought... His chain was broke with Ananya asking him to sit and Nikki started to serve him...
'So Armaan...
How was the meeting with Malaysian clients .. Hope we get the project...' Billy asked...
'Please Billy.. .
Kiya tum mere bacche koh aate hi sawal karne lage.. Use khana toh khaane doh.. Baad main baap bete milke office ki baate karna...
Waise bhi abhi Shashank saahab aur Padma, bacchon ke saat aaya hai toh abhi yeh office ke baate toh chodo...' Ananya said...
'Right mamma...
Yeh papa aur bhai koh bas office ki kaam ki baate karna aata hai...' Nikki said...
'Ananya.. Humhare ghar pe bhi yehi haal hai..
Jab bhi Shashank aur Riddhima milte hai, bas kaam ke baare main baat karte hai...
Acchi baat yeh hai ki yeh dono same kaam nehi karte... Nehi toh pata nehi main kaise yeh dono koh handle karte...
Jab Anjali kaam karna shuru kiya, din raat yeh baap beti hospital ke baate karte hai...' Padma complain...
'Har ghar main yehi problem hota hai Billy...
Jab hum kaam ke baat karte toh yeh biwiya naraz hote hai...' Shashank said...
'Shashank... Waha toh biwi naraz hoti hai.. Yaha toh biwi aur Beti naraz hote hai...' Billy said...

As they continue talking, Anjali also joins them but two people were silent listening to the bickering of their parents and sisters...
As Armaan was sitting in front of Riddhima, Armaan which she would look at him once.. But she didn't and Armaan accept the fact that she was angry with him or not happy...

After finishing dinner, everyone moves to the hall and coffee were served soon...
'Papa... Ab toh batao yeh get together kisliyeh...' Nikki asked as the elders were taking so much time to spill the beans...
Armaan who didn't had a clue what was happening, 'Dad... Kuch batane ke liye yeh dinner organized ki?'
'Haan woh maine Aur Shashank decision le liya...' Billy said...
'Kaise decision...' Anjali asked..
'Yehi ki humhe Armaan aur Riddhima ka aise milna band kardena chahiyeh...' Shashank said...

Hearing this Armaan stand up from his seat... He also slip his coffee on to his shirt...
'Sambhalke bhai... Yeh kiya kar rahi ho aap...' Nikki said holding her laugh... She was so enjoying Armaan expression as they had decided before Armaan coming that they would first play prank on him...
Riddhima wasn't surprise becox she knows everything that was happening around...

Riddhima had been thinking to make a proper announcement about their engagement infront of everyone...
She knows her parent wouldn't like her to roam around with Armaan and people will talk about it if they seems she and Armaan in public...
Getting sure about her feeling towards Armaan and it was true that now she wants to move on with Armaan and only with him, she decide to tell her parents about it...
She knows they all were waiting for her to take the step and no one wants to force her to be in any relation...
Also she was getting so much closed to Armaan, she didn't wants to loose him... She knows this would be the only way so she thought atleast they could get offically engage in front of the whole world...

For the first time in the whole night, Riddhima look at Armaan who was standing with his cup of coffee in one hand and some slips on his shirt...
Riddhima hide her smile so she would get more to see his expression about the topic which was talking among them...
'Lekin Dad... Achanak yeh...' Armaan said keeping the cup on the coffee table...
'Haan hum dono baap koh lagta hai sab kuch haat se nikalne se pehle yeh sab band karwana chahiyeh..' Billy said...
'Haan aur nehi toh kiya...
Main apne beti koh aise tumhare saat ghumne ki permission kaise de sakte ho... Log baate bana enge... Hum ladki wale hai toh log hum pe ugli utaenge...' Shashank said with a serious voice...

Armaan look at Shashank and then lower his head...
Others were holding their laugh... Seeing how helpless Armaan was infront of Shashank...
'Lekin hum toh bas kaam ke waqt saat main rehti hai...' Armaan said...
'Abhi toh kaam ke waqt milte hai.. Lekin kal baahar milna chahte toh..
waise bhi tumne ek baar Riddhima koh dinner pe legaya haina...Phirse lejana chahte ho toh kiya karenge...
nehi... Main phirse permission nehi dhunga..' Shashank said...

Armaan look at Riddhima for help and Riddhima make a helpless face to show him as if saying wht she can say... Armaan please from his eyes to say something and Riddhima blink her eyes saying she would try...
'Papa...' Riddhima try to say but Shashank show his hand and make her stop saying further...
'Princess... Maine pehle kabhi tujhe kissi bhi baat pe mana nehi kiya...
Lekin main ab aur tujhe itni aazadi nehi de sakte...' Shashank said...
'Papa meri baat toh...' Riddhima again try but Shashank cut her off...
'Nehi Riddhima.. Maine keh diya toh bas kehdiya...
Ab no more arguments...' Shashank said...

Riddhima look at Armaan mouthing a sorry and Armaan said its ok, as she try...
'Uncle..
Toh aaplog kiya chaahte ho..' Armaan asked...
'Yeh huvi na mere bete jaise baat..' Billy said...
Shashank give him a warning look asking to continue with the drama they had been playing with Armaan...

Armaan look at everyone face sensing they were just playing around with him... He thought if it was wht they r doing, then he would play along with them... After all Armaan is the big nautanki baaz in the whole world right...
'Tik hai.. Aap log yehi chahte hai na main aur Riddhima aise na mile...
Mujhe koi problem nehi hai... Tumhe hai Riddhima...' Armaan ask and everyone was shocked to hear this...
Even Riddhima was surprise to hear it...
'Did Armaan take this seriously...?' Riddhima thought...
Riddhima look at Armaan with so much questions in her eyes which was clear by Armaan wink... So means Mr.Armaan Mallik is really clever... He understood they were playing with him... Thank god use nehi pata I m playing along with them...
'Nehi Armaan... Mujhe bhi koi problem nehi hai...
Toh Papa... Billy Uncle... Ab toh koi problem nehi haina..' Riddhima said changing her side...
'What...' Nikki and Anjali shouted as the other didn't know wht else to say...

Anjali look at Riddhima asking seriously from her eyes... Where she saw Riddhima meant what she said and she agree with Armaan...
Armaan and Riddhima look at everyone expression closely and next moment both of them brush out laughing crazily...
Armaan move closed to Riddhima and both Hi5 for making fun of their own parents and sisters...
'Omg.. Riddhima... Dekho yeh sabki expression..' Armaan said sitting back on couch laughing out loudly holding his stomach...
'Haan... Aap logo koh kiya lagta hai... Hum itni aasani se maanlenge...
Dad.. Uncle... Armaan koh pata chala aap log uske saat mazak kar raha ta.. Issiliye usne itni aasani se maanliya..' Riddhima said...

Elders were holding their breath for a minute or so when they hear Riddhima and Armaan agree to be away from each other..
They didn't understand why Riddhima agree with Armaan as it was Riddhima who said she was ready to engage with him in front of everyone...
'Ridzy tu...' Anjali move to get hold of Riddhima...
'Hold on Di...
maine toh bas tum sabke saat di...' Riddhima said hiding behind Padma...
'Matlab tujhe sab pata ta...' Armaan said who stop laughing...
'Ridzy koh pata nehi hoga toh kisse pata hoga Bhai...
After all Ridzy ne toh sagai karne ke liye haan kardi... Soon u both will be officially engage infront of the whole world...' Nikki said...

Armaan couldn't believe his ears... He look at Riddhima asking from his eyes if it is true... Riddhima blink her eyes saying yes...
Armaan smile with his best million dollar smile... He was so happy Riddhima was ready to take the next step with him... 'But suddenly why... Mujhe Riddhima se baat karna hi hoga...'
Everyone was happy for Armaan and Riddhima...
They congratulate them and Ananya said she will talk to Pandit Ji next day and final a day for their engagement...

Everyone sit and was talking about the arrangement that had to do before the engagement... Armaan and Riddhima was glaring each other...
'Bhai.. Aap jaakhe shirt saaf karlo..' Nikki said as she knows he was desperately waiting to talk with Riddhima...
'Ridzy... Mere liyeh paani le aoo please...' Anjali said as she and Nikki plan to send away so they could talk to each other...

~ IN KITCHEN ~

Riddhima was standing near the fridge to keep the bottle in after pouring water for Anjali...
Thinking about wht just happen a few minutes ago, smiling how much naughty Armaan could be, Riddhima turn to leave... She bumped to Armaan who was standing behind him...
'Armaan.. Tum...' Riddhima said moving behind creating the distance between them...
Armaan was looking at her face not moving his gaze away for a second... Armaan close the distance which Riddhima create between them and Riddhima again move back to hit her back on the fridge...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name but still he was lost in him...
'Ehem ehem...' They hear a fake cough and turn around to see Anjali and Nikki around...
'Sorry Bhai... Times up...' Nikki said moving inside as Armaan make distance between them...
'Arey yaar.. Main toh abhi aaya hoon yaha...' Said Armaan frowning...
'Sorry to be brother in law... Humhare disturb karne ka koi plan nehi ta..
but kiya karu.. Mom aur Dad koh jaldi hai jaane ka... Woh Dad koh hospital jaana hai so we r leaving early...' Anjali said...
'Oh.. Its ok... Works come first...' Armaan said...

Everyone knows he felt bad but no one could do anything...
'Ridzy... Chale...' Anjali said as she was waiting for Riddhima...
Looking at Armaan once before leaving she hugs Nikki and left with Anjali and Nikki behind her...
'Ab kaise baat karun Riddhima se...Lagta hai phone se baat karna padega... But then I will miss her expression... Uff... God... I love her... Very much...' Armaan said moving his hand on his hair...

~ IN GUPTA MANSION ~

After coming back from Armaan house, Riddhima wish goodnight to Padma and Anjali who sit in the hall talking...
'Ridzy... Tum itni jaldi sone jaa rahi ho...' Anjali ask who plan to stay over there becox Atul went out of country...
'Di woh...' Riddhima try to tell but Padma cut her off... 'Arey abhi kaha soenge... Abhi sone se pehle Armaan se phone se baat karenge na...Issiliye jaldi apne kamre main jaa rahi hai...'
'Awww... Matlab meri behen phone pe baate karne jaa rahi hai...' Anjali said in a teasing voice...
'Di... Aap bhi toh Atul jeeju se phone pe ganto tak baat karte ho shaadi se pehle... Aur mujhe pata hai abhi bhi aap jab Atul jeeju baahar jaate woh aise raat koh baat karte hai...' Riddhima shot back to shut Anjali mouth...
'Arey Ridzy... Meri shaadi hogayi hai ab.. Lekin tumhari toh abhi tak sagai bhi nehi huvi...' Anjali said...
'Haan toh kiya huva.. Sabko pata hai hum dono ek dusre se pyar karte hai.. toh Pyar kiya toh darna kiya... Right mom...' Riddhima said winking and making her way to upstairs to her bedroom...

Padma and Anjali keep looking the naughty and bubble Riddhima was back now... They miss this Riddhima a lot around...
'Mom... Aapne dekha...
Ridzy kitni khush hai... Mujhe lagta hai ab woh apne past koh bhulke aage badh rahi hai...' Anjali said..
'Haan Anjy...
Main bohot khush hoon use Armaan jaisa koi mila.. Woh bohot accha ladka hai...
Aur hum sabko woh bohot pasand hai... Aur yeh bhi jaante hai woh Riddhima se kitna pyar karta hai...' Padma said...
'Haan Mom...
Main bhi bohot khush hoon... Bas ab pray karti hoon Ridzy ki life main aur koi problem kada na hojae...' Anjali said...

They keep talking as Riddhima left to her room...
She knows everyone knows with whom her happiness is... Today, she is really happy...
She thinks about her past and it doesn't make her feel sad and hurt anymore... Becox today she came to know what is love.. and how it feels when u r bless with to perfect guy in the world...

Riddhima changed to her comfortable night dress...She move to the window, looking outside and remembering every moment she had spend with Armaan...
Smile was playing on her face as she was remembering every special moment with Armaan... She was feeling so bless and happy that she listen to her di and friends... Also she decide to give one chance to her life and Armaan, It was the best thing she ever did in her life...
Riddhima was lost in thinking about the moment suddenly her mobile started to ring... She look around as she forgot were she had kept her mobile...

Look around and it was coming from her bed so she jump on bed and search taking all the pilliows and throughing it to the floor... At last she got hold of her mobile but it got cut..
'Oh no..' She felt bad for not answering Armaan call... She open to see the call setting but again it started to ring... Riddhima quickly answer but no one talk from the other side...
Riddhima move the mobile away from her ear and look at the caller name...
It shows UNKNOWN....

With Love

AR FF... FROM THE TIME I SAW YOU...

PART 23...

Riddhima move the mobile away from her ear and look at the caller name...
It shows UNKNOWN...
'Yeh koan ho sakte hai...' Riddhima thought and put back the mobile on her ear but didn't hear anything voice and soon it was disconnected...

Riddhima was thinking who that might be, giving her blank calls... She was so lost that again when her mobile rings, she answer it 'Koan...'
'Madam...
Aap kiske call ke liye inthizaar kar rahe ho...' Armaan ask from the other end...
Riddhima bit her tongue and look at the caller name it was showing Armaan's name.. She put the mobile back near her ear and closed her eyes not knowing wht to say...
If she tell about the unknown call, Armaan surely would get worried so she thought not to tell him thinking how much happy he was today...
'Woh Di mujhe pareshan kar rahi hai... Issiliyeh...' Riddhima make an excuse... It was the first time she lie to him and she was feeling really bad...

Riddhima felt she didn't at least tell him about the unknown call, maybe the caller dial mistakely...
'Accha... Toh ab kiya kar rahi ho...' Armaan ask...
'Kuch bhi toh nehi... Main sone ki tayyari kar rahi ti...' Riddhima said sitting on the bed covering her legs with the comforter...
'Really.. Mujhse baat karte bagair...' Armaan complain...

Riddhima smile seeing how Armaan had turn to a lover boy... She smile imagine his face at the moment, he must be making those cute puppy faces...
'Kiya huva.. Chup kyun hogayi...
Main dekh rahi hoon jabse tum mujse sagai karne ke liyeh tayyar huva hai, tab se tu koi koi si lag rahi ho...' Armaan ask with seriousness in his voice...
'Arey nehi Armaan...Aisa kuch nehi hai...' Riddhima said as she put her legs towards her and holding to closed to her chest...

A blush came in to her face as she remember how much everyone was happy to hear that she was ready to get engage...
How her parents and his parents were talking about their engagement and arrangement which is to be done...
'Phirse kho gayi...
Riddhima..' Armaan call her when she didn't say anything more...
'Hah... Nehi woh...
Accha yeh batao... Surprise kaisa laga...' Riddhima asked...
'Waise toh bohot accha hai, Lekin jab main baaki sabkoh ullu banaya, tab aur maza aaya...' Armaan said happily...

Riddhima smile to hear how childish he could be...
'Haan...I know...
But tumhe pata kaise chala hum log tumhari saat mazak kar rahi ti...' Riddhima asked...
'Madam...
Aapko abhi humhare baare main zyada pata nehi hai...
Waise mere dad koh dekha tumne.. .Kitna over reacting kar raha ta...' Armaan said and started to laugh...
'Woh toh mere papa bhi kar raha ta..' Riddhima said joining Armaan...
'Lekin sach main... Main aaj bohot khush hoon...
Tum khush hona Riddhima...' Armaan asked...

Riddhima smile hearing how concern Armaan is with her feeling...
'Haan Armaan...
Maine hi kahata na tumhe... Jab main ready hogi, tab main khud kahungi...' Riddhima said...
'Haan woh toh tumne kaha...
Lekin achanak se tumne haan kyun kaha Riddhima... Kahin mujhe koigalati toh nehi huva na...' Armaan ask...
'Armaan...
Tum aisa kyun sochte ho tumne koi galati ki mere saat...
mujhe tumpe... tumhare pyar pe pura barosa hai... Yakeen hai tum mujhe kabhi dokha nehi dhonge... Aur mujhe kabhi akele chodenge... Haina...' Riddhima said...

Armaan didn't reply for a minute... Riddhima got scared... 'Kahin Armaan bhi...'
'Riddhima...
Main soch bhi nehi sakta hoon mere zindagi tumhari bina...
Main kabhi tujhe akela nehi chodungi...
Har dukh main... Har sukh main...
Har pal tumhara saat dunga... I love u Riddhima...
I love u a lot...' Armaan said...

A smile was on Riddhima face while tears twinkling on her beautiful big eyes...
She was so happy, to have Armaan as her life partner...
'Ek baat poochun Riddhima...' It was Armaan who broke the silent as Riddhima couldn't say a word when Armaan again confess how much he loves her...
'Permission ki kiya jarurat hai Armaan...
Tumhe pura hak hai...' Riddhima said...
Armaan smile hearing it... Hearing how much she trust and believe him...
'Woh sagai ke liye toh haan kardi...
Toh shopping toh banta hai... Lekin main chaahta hoon tum apni lehenga khud design karo... Woh bhi mere pasand se... Karpaenge..' Armaan ask...

Riddhima smile hearing him... Even she was thinking the same...
It was her dream to design her own lehenga for her engagement and wedding...
'Haan... Main bhi wohi soch rahi ti...
Lekin janaab... Abhi tak date fixed nehi huva hai...' Riddhima said laying down on bed looking up at the ceiling...
'I know Riddhima...
Lekin jitni jaldi tumne haan kaha, aise toh tum shaadi ke liye bhi tayyar hojae toh mere life toh set hojaenge...' Armaan said...

Riddhima smile, she was getting to see a new side of Armaan...
'Sapna dekh rahe ho tum ab Armaan...
Maine bas Sagai ke liye haan kaha... Abhi bohot time hai Shaadi ke liye...' Riddhima said...
'Haan haan tik haina...
Lekin maine tumhare liyeh already lehenga pasand karli jo tum humhare shaadi main pehenenge...' Armaan said...
'Accha...' Riddhima asked...
'Haan.. Koi shak...
Yaad hai jo special lehenga tum aaj tik kar rahi ti... Woh design mujhe bohot pasand hai...' Armaan said...
'Mr.Mallik...
Aur bhi bohot khubsurat design hai mere paas...' Riddhima said...
'Lekin Ms.Gupta mujhe wohi design pasand hai... Sabse zyada... Aur tum par toh... Masha Allah... Bohot...' Armaan started to admire, Riddhima laugh hearing him...

Armaan felt happy to see hear melodious sweet laugh... 'Waise Ms. Gupta... Main soch raha ta ki kyun na tum humhare fashion show ki showstopper banne...' Armaan said as he was thinking about the moment they spend in his cabin and how he had been waiting to ask her this...
'What... Armaan main...' Riddhima stop laughing hearing him...
'Haan.. Kyun nehi...
That lehenga will suits u and I wanna see u in that...' Armaan said dreamly imagine Riddhima on that lehenga...
'Dream on Armaan...
Main aur Fashion main... R u out of ur Mind...' Riddhima said...
'Kyun nehi... So end main I could be on stage with u and I wouldn't need to think twice before holding u closed to me...' Armaan said...
'Matlab jo bhi Showstopper banengi tum usse aise hold karenge...' Riddhim ask shockly with her mouth open as a big 'O'...

Armaan was enjoying this to the core...
The part to be a part in show, he was serious about it... But about holding the showstopper, he was taking back the revenge for trying to make fool of him with his parents and her parents...
They continue with their nokjok and soon bid goodnight and slept dreaming about each other and wishing to meet in dreams...

~ NEXT DAY ~

Riddhima was waiting for Armaan so they could see the models who was already in the meeting room... He was already 10mins late and no one knows where he had went...
'Ma'am...
Mujhe lagta hai aapko models se mil lena chahiyeh... Sir toh baad main bhi mil sakta hai..' Mrs.Khanna came as Mr. Mehra was already inside asking question why it was taking so much time...
'Mr. Mallik ne kissi koh inform nehi kiya woh kaha jaa raha hai...' Riddhima ask checking her watch...
'No Ma'am... Sir ne kissi koh inform nehi kiya...
Aur main pata laga ya Sir ki scheduel ke baare main... Koi meeting bhi nehi hai...' Mrs.Khanna said...
'Strange...
Anyways tum andar jao, Main Mr. Mallik se contant karne ki koshish karti hoon... Bas 2mins main aati hoon...' Riddhima said taking out her mobile...

Riddhima try calling him but his mobile was swtich off...
'Ho kiya gaya hai Armaan koh... Aise achanak kaha chala gaya...
Bataya bhi nehi kissi koh... Aur main akele un models koh handles kaise karungi...' Riddhima was thinking but she knows she had to do something... With or without Armaan, she couldn't let the models waits more...

Riddhima came to the meeting room to see models reading their contract... She came and stand in front of them as they look at her with question in their eyes...
'Yeh hai Ms.Riddhima Gupta...
Humhare designer...' Mr. Mehra introduce her to them...
'Thank you Mr.Mehra...
So have u all read the contract...' Riddhima ask keeping the file on the table...
'Yes, But were is Mr. Mallik...'One of them ask...
'Ummm... He went out because of some work...
Also I don't think we need him here this moment... As he had already conform u all would be glad to work with us...' Riddhima said...

Riddhima look at the time and she didn't feel it was a good idea to wait him more...
From next day, models will be practicing for the show... and today they need final who and who would wear which costume...
'Mr.Mehra, can u take the boys to their rest room...
Mrs.Khanna, can u take the girls...' Riddhima asked...
They nodded and soon everyone was out from the room...

Riddhima first went to make sure boys were fitting the costume and she didn't had to spend much time as they choose what is fit for them...
Riddhima got the list with which costume the respective models males would be wearing... She was happy, the models were happy with the design and with her work...

Riddhima went to girls rest room to see everyone were around the design dresses...
'So, pasand aaya.' Riddhima ask entering and when they got quite seeing her...
'Ms.Gupta..These r awesome...' One of the model says...
'Please... Call Riddhima...
and thanks for the compliment... Lets try, if u don't mind... I have others works to catch up..' Riddhima said nicely...
'Mrs.Khanna...
One model hasn't come... What happen.. .Did u try to contant...' Riddhima ask seeing when others select their dresses...
'Yeah Ms.Gupta...' Mrs.Khanna start but Riddhima cut her... 'Kitni baar kaha aapse aap mujhse badi hai... please Riddhima bhulao mujhe...' Riddhima said...
Other models smile seeing how nice and sweet Riddhima treat with everyone...
'Lekin...' Mrs.Khanna try to reason but Riddhima cut her off... 'Lekin vekin kuch nehi... Ab batao who is absent from here...' Riddhima ask askin Mrs.Khanna to hand over her the list..

Riddhima was checking the names and she put her finger on the last name of the list where it was put a cross... 'Ms.Malothra...' Riddhima said softly...
'Yes... That's me...
The showstopper...' Everyone look around to see from where the voice came... Riddhima also turn around to see a girl in red knee lenght dress standing near the door...
She was surprise to see who was with to her...

PART 24...

Riddhima was checking the names and she put her finger on the last name of the list where it was put a cross... 'Ms.Malothra...' Riddhima said softly...
'Yes... That's me...
The showstopper...' Everyone look around to see from where the voice came... Riddhima also turn around to see a girl in red knee lenght dress standing near the door...
She was surprise to see who was with her...
'Siddhant...' That name came out from Riddhima mouth not loud enough others would hear her saying it..

She move her gaze away from his and look at the girl who says she would be Ms.Malothra... 'May I know why u r late Ms,Malothra...' Riddhima ask looking at her from bottom to head...
'Riddhima we just...' Siddhant spoke but Riddhima cut him of by showing her hand...
'Mrs.Khanna...
Can u ask this Mr. what he is doing here in girls room...' Riddhima said looking at everywhere else not to him...
'Excuse me Ms. Gupta... He is with me..U can't talk like that...' Ms.Malothra said...
'And u don't have any right to talk my empolyees like that, specially with our company designer Ms.Malothra...' Another voice came behind them...

Atul who just reach the office had come to see how Riddhima was doing with models...
'Excuse me... U know whom u r talking Mr.' Ms.Malothra said...
'Mr. Atul Joshi...
Yes I know I am talking to one of the famous model in whole country Ms.Shilpa Malothra...
And Mr. whoever u r, u r not allowed to me in this room becox its for only models...' Atul said...

Riddhima was relief to see Atul back... Now she knows she would get support from him..
Also Atul had recognized Siddhant...
'Mr.Joshi...
Mr.Mallik had appoint me for his show.. Mr.Siddhant Modi came with me becox we just landed a few minutes ago and we was getting late to reach here...' Shilpa says...
'Mr.Malothra... I know u r a good friend of Mr.Mallik...
But please keep the professional and personal life separate... And rahi baat Mr.Modi koh yaha aapke saat aana, we don't mind him to wait outside in the lobby... Not here...' Atul said moving and standin next to Riddhima...
'Its ok Mr.Joshi...
I will wait outside... Shona, tum apni kaam khatam karke mujhe bahar milo...' Siddhant said hugging her from side and leaving... Before he go out from the room, he look back to Riddhima who was looking at the sheet of paper she was holding...

As Siddhant was out of sight, it was Atul who broke the silent...
'So everybody.. I hope no one got any objection... I m really sorry Mr.Mallik wouldn't be able to meet u all today as he is stuck in a very important work...' Atul said...
'But I wanna meet Armaan before I sign the contract...' Shilpa said...
'Its Mr.Mallik, Ms, Malothra if u r forgetting let me remind u...
And haan, if u don't wanna sign without meeting him. come tomorrow at 10am... U would meet him by then... Did I make myself clear...' Atul said...
'Fine..
Waise bhi I just landed here and I need to go and check in some hotel...' Shilpa said...
'It wouldn't be difficult for u Ms.Malothra...
U may go...' Atul said...

As Shilpa left, Atul turn to face other models and talking with them, he left the room with Riddhima...
'Thank god tum sahi time par aaya jeeju...' Riddhima says as they were alone...
'Yeah... I just reach an hr ago...
Main toh aaj office aane wala nehi ta... But Armaan ka call aaya... Use kuch kaam aaya so he said he wouldn't make it up to here...
main bas yeh models koh dekh ke waapas jaane ke liyeh aaya hoon...' Atul tell Riddhima...
'Awww... Thats okey...
I m sure u will need time to spend with ur wify jeeju...
Hope di is at home today, or is she working over as usual...' Riddhima said to tease him...
'Saali saahiba...
Tumhari di ghar par hai... And guess wht, its my lucky day she took an off...' Atul says winking at her to which Riddhima giggle...
'Good for u jeeju...
Lagta hai is baar di ne aapko bohot miss kiya...' Riddhima said as they move to Riddhima's cabin...

Both sit on the couch and Atul just sit closed his eyes resting his head...
'Aap jao na jeeju...
Waise bhi mujhe kaam hai...' Riddhima said seeing how tired Atul was looking...
'I will go in a while Ridzy...' Atul said...
Riddhima was lost in her thought..
Her mind was full of so many questions... Why Siddhant was here... What he was doing with Ms.Malothra... Is they engage or going to get married... Or he is just a friend of her...
Riddhima was so lost, she didn't hear wht Atul was saying...
As Riddhima didn't respond to his question, Atul nudge her hitting by his elbow on her arm...
'hah...' Riddhima look at Atul who straight looking at her...
'Tum us idiot ki baare main soch rahi ho..' Atul asked...
'Jeeju woh...' Riddhima look at her hands that Atul had caught him...

Atul move closed to her and took her hands on his..
'Dekho Ridzy...
Anjali ne mujhe bataya kal raat tumne sabse kaha tum sagai karke aage badna chahti hai...
Aur hum sabko pata hai Siddhant tumhare liye kiya, Kissi ke liyeh bhi sahi nehi hai...' Atul try to make Riddhima understand...
'Jeeju... Main us baare main nehi soch rahi hoon...
Haan main jaanti hoon maine pehle galati ki... Kissi koh jaanne maingalati huvi hai mujhe...
Main phirse wohi galati nehi karungi..
Aur aap sab mere paas hai toh mujhe dar nehi hai.. Lekin jeeju, armaan koh pata chale toh...' Riddhima tell his fear to him...

Atul squeeze her hands to confort her that nothing will happen...
'Hum sab Armaan koh jaanta hoon Ridzy...
Mujhe lagta hai tumhe Armaan koh bata dena chahiyeh... Baad main pata chale toh use tohda wired lagega so do it as soon as possible Ridzy..' Atul says...
'Main bhi yehi soch rahi hoon Jeeju...
Lekin u know woh aaj abhi tak office nehi aaya... Aur pata nehi kab aayenge...' Riddhima says...
'Don't worry much saali saahiba...
When ur jeeju is here, why to fear... Ek kaam karo tum, office ki baad seedhe ghar aajana...
Main Anjy koh keh dungi tum dono dinner hum dono ki saat karenge...' Atul says...
'Jeeju... Aaj aap waapas aaye ho aur aaj raat koh main aur Armaan waha aap dono ki saat...
Di koh bura lagegi...' Riddhima said...

Atul smile to see how much Riddhima thinks about her sister.. How matter her life was about to take which path, only thing she could think was her love ones first...
'Anjy koh bura lagega if u don't come Ridzy...
Aur Armaan koh jitna jaldi ho sakhe batana chahiyeh... Then he would know na... We can't take any risk...
Siddhant kuch bhi kar sakta hai if use pata chale tum dono ek dusre se sagai karne wali ho..' Atul says...
'Jeeju.. Aap ab mujhe dara rahi ho...' Riddhima says...
Atul smile and cup her face...
'Don't worry Ridzy..
Hum sab tumhare saat hoon... Aur aaj raat tum ghar aa rahi ho thats final okk.. Main Armaan koh bata dunga...' Atul says...

Riddhima smile and atul kiss her forehead...
Riddhima was happy Atul understand her suitation and was treating like her own brother... Supporting her and taking care of the matter...
Soon Atul left and Riddhima went back to her works...

~ ATUL MANSION ~

As soon Atul came back from Office, he told Anjali about Siddhant arrival with the showstopper of the fashion show that would be happening in Mallik Enterprise...
'What... He is back... But why...

'Anjy Anjy, calm down...
Yaha beito mere paas..' Atul ask her as he was sitting on the bed...

Anjali sit next to him and look at him for an explanation...
'Anjy..Main jaanta hoon hum sabko Ridzy ki kitni fikar hai..
Ridzy ki life main 2saal ki baad phirse khushi aayi hai...
Aur woh doh saal kaise hum sabne aur specially Ridzy ne guzara, hum sab jaante hai...' Atul try to make Anjali calm... Anjali keep listening to Atul as she agree whtever he was saying becoz it is the truth...
'Hum sabke hote huve Siddhant Ridzy ki aas paas bhi nehi aa sakte...
aur rahi baat Ridzy aur Armaan ki relation ki... Hum sab jaante hai Ridzy aage badne ke liye tayyar hai...
Ridzy ne Siddhant se mila hai...
Lekin main sahi waqt pe waha poocha so maine sab kuch sambhala... Aur main strickly use kaha woh waha invite nehi hai... Not in the office at least...
Aur kalse main ya Armaan hamesha Ridzy ki saat rahunga.. .Jab tab woh waapas nehi jaate tab tak..' Atul says...
'Armaan koh pata hai...' Anjali asked as she has so many questions...

Atul took Anjali hands on his...
'Nehi. Aaj woh kuch kaam ki wajahse pure din office nehi jaapaenge...
Toh mean woh abhi tak Ridzy se nehi mila...
Issiliye main dono koh dinner pe invite ki... Aaj raat Ridzy yaha humhare saat rahenge.. Maine Padma mom koh phone karke inform kardiya..
Tum un dono ke liye bhi dinner bana doh okk...' Atul says...

Anjali hugs him hearing it.. She was so happy how much Atul loves her sister like his own...
'Thank you Atul...' Anjali says..
'Thanks kis baat ki Anjy..
Ridzy mere bhi behen hai... Jitna tum use close ho, utna woh bhi mujhse close hai Anjy...
Don't worry... Sab tik hoga...
Aur hum toh Armaan koh jaanta hi hoon... Woh kabhi Ridzy koh hurt nehi karenge... Hurt toh kiya... Woh aise sochenge bhi nehi...
Siddhant ki baare main use banata jaruri hai. then he can be also aware of Ridzy behavior if he is around..'
Anjali came out from the hug and nod her head agreeing Atul...
'Haan yeh sahi hoga...
Aur tumne hi toh kaha woh Showstopper ki saat aaya hai...
Yeh showstopper koan hai...' Anjali ask..
'Ms.Shilpa Malothra...' Atul says...
'Jo Armaan ki friend ta...' Anjali ask...
'Haan.. Hum sabko pata hai she is famous... Aur yeh show hum sabke liyeh bohot important hai..' Atul says...
'I know Atul...' Anjali says putting her hand on his shoulder...

Atul smiles and says he would get fresh up... Anjali went to make lunch as it was already time for lunnch and she had left her work un finished as she saw Atul had come and was tense about something...
Knowing it was about Riddhima, she came leaving her work...

~ 5 30pm ~

After finishing work in office, Riddhima came to Atul house as Atul asked...
She was welcome by her di who took her to a rib-crashing hug...
'Diii...'Riddhima shouted as Anjali didn't let her go...
Anjali break the hug and Riddhima kiss her cheek... 'Kiya baat hai... Aaj mujhpe itna pyar...' Riddhima said coming inside leaving Anjali to closed the door...
'Tum tik hona Ridzy...' Anjali ask coming behind her...
'Mujhe kiya huva hai Di...' Riddhima asked as she make her way to kitchen to get water for herself...

Anjali look at Riddhima who was trying to at Siddhant arrival didn't affect her...
Riddhima goes and took water bottle from fridge...
Sitting on the counter, Riddhima drank water from the bottle...
'Ridzy... Kitni baar kaha aise paani mat piyo..' Anjali scold Riddhima seeing her drinking water from bottle...
'Chill di... Is main problem kiya hai...
Waise dinner ke liye kiya bana rahi ho...' Riddhima said jumping from the counter and moving towards Anjali who was making food...

Anjali knows Riddhima wouldn't speak about the matter so thought of letting go of it...
Anyways Anjali knows her sister, so she got busy with making dinner...
Both sisters make dinner in no time and soon was sitting on the couch drinking coffee... Atul also joins them...

Anjali ask Riddhima about the fashion show and Riddhima tell her everything was going good...
She mention meeting the models but skip Siddhant part...
'Ridzy... Atul ne kaha...' Anjali at last started the topic Riddhima had been avoiding from the time she enter that place...
'Di please...
I know jeeju ne already aapko sab kuch bata diya...
His present wouldn't make me scared and hide myself in dark room...'Riddhima says...
'See Anjy..
U r just worrying too much... Our Ridzy is big enough... Aur Armaan haina uski saat ab...' Atul says..
'Exactly Di..
main Armaan koh sabkuch bataungi dinner ki baad... Don't take tension so much ok...' Riddhima said hugging Anjali side way...

Bell rang and knowing it would be none other then Armaan, Riddhima run to open the door...
She welcome him hugging him who was just happy to see her after a long tiring day...
'I miss u...' Armaan whisper near her ear as he hide his face on her hair...
'I miss u too...
Ek msg toh kar sakta ta na..' Riddhima complain...
'Sorry Jaan... Just was too busy... Jitni jaldi khatam huva, main waapas aagaya...' Armaan said looking at her face...
He just wanted to keep looking her like that eternity...

He felt he was meeting her after years... One day he didn't see her and he miss her so much.. It was getting real difficult for him to be away from her...
'Its ok Armaan..
I m glad jeeju ask us to join them for dinner... Aur mujhe tumse zaruri baat bhi karni hai...' Riddhima said as Armaan closed the door behind them as they move inside...
Armaan one hand was around Riddhima waist pulling her closed to him...
'Accha.. office ki ya personal...' Armaan asked...
'Office ki bhi aur personal bhi...' Riddhima said...
'Aise kiya baat hai jo office ki kaam se judi hai...' Armaan asked...

Before Riddhima could answer him, Atul call both of them to come to dinning area as he and Anjali was already there...
Riddhima and Armaan joins them and soon they were having dinner Atul teasing Armaan and Riddhima about their engagement...
After dinner everyone sit in the hall and Riddhima got a call so she went to answer it...

Atul and Armaan were talking as Anjali went to get coffee for them...
'So dude... Why u ask me and Riddhima to come here..
I mean I know u would be liking to spend sometimes alone with Anjy and hum dono ka kiya kaam hai yaha...' Armaan ask...
'Actually Armaan...
Ridzy koh tumse bohot zaruri baat karna hai.. Aur tum aaj pura din kaam ke liyeh baahar ta toh maine socha kyun nehi tum dono aajraat yaha rukhjae... Baat bhi hojaenge...' Atul says...
'Haan Riddhima ne toh kaha baat karni hai lekin kiya baat...
Dekho Atul mujhe pata hai tujhe pata hai already... Haina... Toh u tell me...' Armaan ask...
'Haan Armaan mujhe pata hai.. But Ridzy wants to tell u...
Toh accha hoga is she tells u...' Atul says...

Anjali came with coffee and Armaan look at Riddhima who was standing near the window looking out,, Still she was on the phone...
'Riddhima itni der se kisse baat kar rahi hai...' Anjali ask as before she went to get coffee, from that time Riddhima was on phone...
'Mom ka hoga...' Atul says...
'Armaan...' Anjali call his name as his eyes were busy staring at Riddhima...
When Armaan look at Anjali he saw Anjali and Atul talking through their eyes...
'Armaan... Tum jao, Ridzy se baat karlo..
Aur haan, aaj raat tum dono yaha rahenge ok... Main tum dono ke liye room tayyar kardi..' Anjali says...

Armaan smile how their friends understand him and Riddhima...
He was so happy that they r so supportive for them... In everywhere or other, from the day Armaan tell them he loves Riddhima they always helps them to spend time with each other...
'I m tired... Main sone jaa raha hoon...' Atul says...
Atul and Anjali wish Armaan goodnight and left as still Riddhima was on phone...

After talking to her mother, Riddhima turn around to see only Armaan sitting on the couch with his coffee...
He was looking at Riddhima without blinking his eyes...
'Di aur jeeju kaha hai...' Riddhima said sitting next to Armaan...
'Atul bohot tak gaye hai... Issiliye dono apne room main gayye hai...' Armaan says...
'maine kaha ta jeeju koh main tumse phone pe bhi baat kar sakti ti.. Aise hum dono yaha aur woh dono koh toh pareshani hogi na..' Riddhima says taking her coffee which Anjali left for her...

Armaan keep looking at her face without moving it away... When he didn't say anything, Riddhima look at him to see him staring at her...
Their eyes met and both share a beautiful eye-lock which was disturb by Armaan phone...
'Mom ki hai..' Armaan said looking at Riddhima who blink her eyes asking him to talk...

Armaan went a little away from her and talk to his mother...
He inform he is staying over Atul house for some work... Ending call he turn around but was surprise when he couldn't find Riddhima there...
'Yeh Riddhima kaha chali gayi...' Armaan thought and move towards the stairs thinking she might went to her room... But some noises were coming from kitchen so Armaan went to kitchen..
Riddhima was washing the mugs and placing it...
'Yaha kiya kar rahi ho...' Armaan ask...
'Woh mug wash karne aayi ti.. Kyun...' Riddhima asked...
'Nothing... Ab batao... Tumhe mujhse kuch baat karni ti na...' Armaan says...

Riddhima who was drinking water, got statue hearing this... She put the glass back on the counter and move to Armaan...
'Haan woh... Hum yaha baat karenge?' Riddhima ask...
'Matlab... Aur kaha jaun...' Armaan ask not knowing wht was going on in Riddhima's mind...
'Uff... Armaan... Hum Kitchen main baat karenge.. How unromantic...' Riddhima says and laugh...
Armaan make a confused face why Riddhima was behaving wired...

Riddhima knows Armaan might think wht she was upto...
Riddhima pull Armaan out from the kitchen holding his arm and pull him towards the stairs...
'Riddhima... Hum jaa kaha rahi hai...' Armaan ask...
'Terrace...' Riddhima says...
'Terrace.. But kyun...' Armaan ask...
'Kyunki mujhe tumse baat karni hai Armaan...' Riddhima says...
'Baat karni hai toh hum neeche hall main bhi toh kar sakte haina...' Armaan says...
'Nehi.. Mujhe terrace pe jaakhe baat karni hai...' Riddhima says..

Both was soon in the terrace and leaving Armaan hand, Riddhima move closed to the rails... Armaan just stand not knowing wht has happen to Riddhima..
Riddhima stand looking at the sky which was full with stars n moon...
Wind was blowing slowly making the atmosphere cold...
'Kitni acchi hai na yaha Armaan...' Riddhima says...
'Riddhima... Tum kiya baat karna chahti ho...' Armaan ask standing next to her...
Riddhima turn around and face him... She knows she had to tell him this... Also knows he would believe her and protect her...

Riddhima move closed to him and Armaan was taken back not knowing why she was up to...
'Riddhima...' Armaan try to ask again but Riddhima put her finger on his lips...
'Ab jo main keh rahi hoon woh suno Armaan..' Riddhima says and move her finger away when she saw Armaan nodding his head...

Before starting, Riddhima took a deep breath and start...
'Armaan, maine tumhe meri past ke baare main sab kuch bata diya hai...
Aur tum bhi jaante ho hum ne decide kiya ta ki jab main puri tarahse tayyar hojaungi, tab hum apne life se aage badenge...
Aur main aaj hum dono ki life ek step aage lene ki decision li...
Lekin Armaan, Mujhe kiya pata meri ateet phir se mere saamne aakhe kada hojaenge...' Riddhima says...
'Riddhima..
Seedhe seedhe batao kiya huva hai...' Armaan said as she was making this difficult for him and her...
'Armaan...
Aaj Siddhant office aaya... Ms.Shilpa Malothra ki saat jo tumne humhare fashion show ki showstopper ke liye invite ki...' Riddhima says..
'What...
Woh Shilpa ki saat...' He was surprise to hear this piece of information...
'Haan... Jeeju ne sahi time pe aakhe sambhala... Nehi toh pata nehi main kiya karti us waqt...
maine use kaha woh waha nehi aa sakti lekin Shilpa ne kaha woh uske saat hai so I can't order her as u was the one who invite her and she can bring anyone she wants...' Riddhima told Armaan wht happen in office that day...

Armaan listen to her each and every word...
'Armaan...
Main nehi chahti woh tumhe koi nuksaan pochae...
Woh kuch bhi kar sakta hai Armaan...' Riddhima said moving closed to Armaan who just hugs her...
'Shhh...
Kuch nehi hoga Riddhima... main hoon na tumhari saat.. Aur sab tumhari saat hai..
Koi tumhe choo bhu nehi sakti...' Armaan says...
'Armaan...
Maine use kabhi pyar nehi kiya.. Mujhe laga main use pyar karti ti...
Lekin jabse tumse mili hoon Armaan, mujhe pyar kiya hai yeh pata chala...' Riddhima says and move away to look at Armaan...

Armaan was happy to hear it...
He always keep thinking he was her second choice... But today, she confess he is her first and last choice...
'Armaan... Issiliye maine kal sabko kaha hum jaldi sagai karenge...
Kyunki main tumse dur nehi hona chahti..' Riddhima says,,,
'Main kabhi tumhe khud se dur nehi rakhunga Riddhima...' Armaan said and kiss her forehead...

Riddhima smile hearing this and hide her face on his chest.. Both keep hugging and enjoying the moment... But Riddhima thought to ask if Shilpa says true that Armaan and she is friends...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call as he was caring her back and making her feel comfortable with him...
'Hmm...' Armaan says as he was enjoying the night with her after a busy day...

Armaan was wishing always he gets the luck to take Riddhima in his arms every night...
He was so happy Atul and Anjali let them stay in their place for the night...
'Woh Shilpa ne kaha woh tumhara friend hai...' Riddhima said...
'Haan.. But not like Atul and Rahul...
Hum ek collage main pada ta... Woh hamesha se hi model banna chahti ti.. Issiliyeh woh US chalagaya...
Waha uski parents rehte hai...' Armaan says...
'Oh..' Riddhima says and Armaan knows why she was thinking about...
'Riddhima...
Main kissi koh hum dono ki beech aane nehi dunga...
Na Shilpa koh.. Na Siddhant koh...
Mujhe nehi pata Shilpa aur Siddhant ki beech kiya rishta hai...
Aur jaanna bhi nehi chahte... Bas mujhe jaldse jald sabko batana hai tum mere ho.. Sirf mere...' Armaan says..

Riddhima hugs him tight and Armaan hide his face on her hair...
Suddenly it started to rain and before it got heavy both run inside... They stop at the door looking the weather suddenly changed...
'Baarish.. That too suddenly...' Armaan says...
'Haan... I m wondering that too...' Riddhima says putting her hands out to play water drops...
'Lagta hai baarish aur hum dono ki milna aur saat rehna bohot jhamti hai...
Hum kabhi bhi mile, tab baarish hote hai... Haina..' Armaan says...

Riddhima who was busy playing with water smile hearing it... She hugs Armaan...
'Oye Hoyye... Itna pyar...' Armaan ask...
'Hmmm... I just love u a lot Armaan...' Riddhima says...
'Me too...
Chalo sojate hai.. Kal office bhi jaana hai aur usse pehle mujhe ghar jaana hoga... Tumhari kapde toh hoga yaha lekin mere nehi hai ok...' Armaan says...
'Hmm...' Riddhima says and Armaan sense something was wrong..
'Kiya huva...' Armaan ask...
'Woh.. Kiya tum mere saat reh sakte ho jab tak main so na jaun plzzz...' Riddhima asked cutely...

Armaan smile seeing how cute she could be... He was surprise when Riddhima ask him to be with her till she don't sleep...
Even he wanna spend time with her but as next day was a working day and in a week or two they had to leave Paris for the show and there r so many works to be completed...
Armaan knows he wouldn't get another opportunity like this before marriage so he didn't want to let it go...
'Sure..
but tum pehle change karlo.. Phir main aajaungi okk...' Armaan says...
'Nehi Armaan.. Main is dress main sojaungi... Mujhe nehi karni change.. Please chalo na...' Riddhima says like a baby...
Armaan smile to her cuteness and he was surprise to see this side of her...

Both move Riddhima's room and Riddhima make Armaan sit on the bed... She sat comfortably next to him hugging his arm and put her head on his shoulder...
'Riddhima tum...' Armaan try to tell her to lay down but she didn't let him complete his sentence...
'Main aise tik hoon Armaan...' Riddhima says...
'Pakka...' Armaan ask getting concern..
'Of course...
Toh tell me... Did u mom talk about our engagement...' Riddhima asked him before he could start with his logic...
'Kyun.. Kiya baat karna hota hai engagement ke liyeh..' Armaan ask...

Riddhima took her head looking at his face, if he was joking or not...
But seeing his straight face, Riddhima was 'Seriously this guy is too much... How can he be so calm about it...'
'Riddhima.. Kiya batana ta mom koh mujhe...' Armaan asked...
'Armaan... Kal sabne kaha na woh aaj panditji koh bhulake date fixed karne wali hai..' Riddhima says..
'Toh...' Armaan asked...
'Toh I am asking if ur mom said anything about the date or not..
Did she talk to Panditji or not..' Riddhima ask...
'I dont know... Mom ne aisa kuch nehi bataya...' Armaan says...
'Aur tumne poocha bhi nehi hoga..' Riddhima said resting her head back on his shoulder...

Armaan smiles seeing how much Riddhima was concern about him and their engagment... He didn't know he would be successful to bring her out from her past so easily with his love and care...
He also was happy, she is comfortable around him and her family... Also her bonding with Nikki and her mother were getting strong... What else he wants in his life...
Everyone was happy with his decision... Armaan had been delaying his marriage saying he didn't find the right girl for him...
He always want someone who will love equally with him and his family... Who could be like a family and keep his family happy...

Armaan was busy thinking about their future and how lucky he was to have Riddhima in his life...
'Armaan.. Kaha ghum hogaya...' Riddhima ask shaking him a little...
'hah.. Kahin pe nehi...
Woh main aaj ghar nehi gaya na subahse... Issiliye poochna bhul gaya... Aur seedhe yaha aaya hoon toh u know... Mom call ki tab bhi poochna bhulgaya... Sorry...' Armaan says...
Riddhima smiles seeing how cutely Armaan was giving explanation to her...
'Its ok Armaan...
Aur tumhe kiya lagta hai.. Meri ma aise chup rahenge if she know about it...
I think Aunt koh waqt nehi mila hoga.. Ya panditji koh waqt nehi mila hoga...' Riddhima says...
'Pata nehi Riddhima... Aur haan mom bhi chup nehi rehte if she got the date...' Armaan says...

Both were talking about this and most talking was doing by Riddhima... Riddhima ask about his whereabouts as he went for work out from the office today...
Armaan was telling her about the new project he had been working over... He keeps telling about the project and when Riddhima stop asking questions, Armaan look at her to see the most beautiful sight in front of him...
Riddhima was sleeping peacefully holding Armaan's arm and with her on his shoulder.. Some hairs were on her forehead disturbing her as she had a frown in her face...

Smiling to her cute expression, Armaan move those hairs away from her forehead and put it behind her ear... He cares her soft pinkish cheek to see her smiling in her sleep...
The frown had turn in to a beautiful and relaxing smile as she was now enjoying her sleep... Armaan make her lay down comfortably on the bed and put the comforter on her hiding her from the cold... Room was little cold due to the cold weather outside...
Armaan dim the light and stand to leave... But his heart was asking not to leave her side and just keep looking at her whole night... Whole night awake just to watch his angel sleep...
Armaan bend down and kiss her forehead and turn to look only she hold his wrist... Armaan look to see she open her sleepy eyes...
'Sojao Riddhima...' Armaan says...
'Tume mujhe chodke jaa rahe ho...' Riddhima ask cutely...
'Nehi Riddhima main...' Armaan didn't know wht to say...
'Please mujhe chodke mat jao Armaan... Main bohot akele hojaungi...
main phirse Akele hona nehi chaahti.. Mujhe ab andhere se dar lagti hai Armaan... Mujhe lagta hai yeh andhera mujhe khajaenge...
please Armaan mere paas raho...' Riddhima says and she pull his hand holding it closed to her...

Riddhima was now sleeping, her head was on his hand... She was also holding Armaan hand so he wouldn't be able to leave...
Knowing again her sleep would be disturb if he try to free his hand away from her, Armaan sit on the floor near bed...
He looks at Riddhima who was sleeping with a small smile playing on her lips... She was feeling secure feeling him closed to her... She just make her self comfortable hugging Armaan hand and went to sleep...
Armaan put his head on the bed closed to hers... He keep looking her face admiring her every features closely... A small and secure smile was playing on his lips too to know how much this Angel matters to him and he matters to her...
Armaan didn't know when he slept while admiring his Riddhima...

~ NEXT DAY ~

Before anyone could wake up, Armaan was disturb by his Alarm which was set in his mobile...
Switching it off, Armaan look around to see he was still in Riddhima's Room in Atul and Anjali house... He look at her whose back was towards him and now she was hugging pillow leaving Armaan hand...
Armaan stand and look at Riddhima but her face was hidden in pillow... He didn't feel to disturb him so he left soon before Atul or Anjalu sees him in Riddhima room...
He knows they trust him enough not to think he would take advantage of Riddhima...
But he don't want to give any bad vibrates to anyone, neither his friends about him...

Armaan msg Atul saying he was leaving and will meet he and Riddhima at office... Also he msg Riddhima goodmorning and he would directly meet her in hospital knowing his absent would make her feel low and he dont want to make her sad...
Also he had to talk with Shilpa and Atul inform him yesterday only Shilpa demand was she would sign contract for the show only in front of Armaan... Armaan didn't think Shilpa would take Siddhant with her after the warning Atul gave her...

~ 10 am ~

After one week, everyone who was working in the fashion show really hard was decide to leave for Paris...
Budget department had arrange everything for the models and other stuff who would going to Paris with the heads of Mallik and Designing department...
Also Mallik family was going and Billy had already invite Guptas... But Shashank wouldn't be make it becox he had got a busy scheduel arrange for the coming two weeks...

Armaan was talking to Billy about the show when there was a knock... He cut the call telling Billy, the showstopper would be coming to meet him and he thinks she came...
'Coming...' Armaan call only to see Riddhima coming with a smile...
'Kiya huva.. Kuch kaam ta...' Armaan ask seeing Riddhima there all of sudden...
'Nehi.. Bas aise hi milne aagayi... Kaam toh bas aapko hota haina Mr.Mallik... Mujhe toh aise ghumne ki shauk hai bina kaam ki...' Riddhima said with irritation...
Armaan sense something might happen which make her mood off... He stood and came near her...
Sitting on the table, he pull Riddhima in to his arms...
'Kiya huva.. Kis baat pe upset ho...' Armaan asked her lovingly...

Riddhima look at Armaan and look away as she was feeling like to cry...
'Huva kiya Riddhima.. Kissi ne kuch kaha..' Armaan again ask...
'Pata nehi Armaan... I m just not satisfaction...' Riddhima says...
'About...' Armaan ask making her look at him...
'About this fashion show... I don't know it would be a successful or lost to u and ur company...' Riddhima says as a tear except from her eyes...

Armaan took it from his finger without letting it fall on the ground...
'What is this Riddhima... U r crying..' Armaan ask... 'That too becox u think this fashion show maybe a lost for me and my company...'
Riddhima look at him and then hide her face on his chest.. Armaan put his hands around her pulling her close...
'Armaan... I feel something bad is going to happen before it start..' Riddhima says...
'Riddhima..
Kuch nehi hoga.. dekhna.. It will the biggest success for our company...' Armaan says caring her back to calm her down...
'I hope so...' Riddhima says...

There was another knock and both move away... Riddhima wipes her face and Armaan ask the person to come in...
This time it was Shilpa... She came smiling follow by it was Siddhant again...
Riddhima move a little closed to Armaan seeing Siddhant and sensing the change of Riddhima expression Armaan look at the guy who was with Shilpa...
'Hey Armaan... Hows u doing... Long time hah...' Shilpa says coming and hugging him...
'yeah Shilpa... Fine.. Hows u doing...' Armaan ask as he didn't respond to her hug...
'Cool... So I hope u didn't mind I brought a friend of mine with me...
Woh kiya haina... Ur designer and Mr.Joshi didn't like it...' Shilpa says looking at Riddhima who was looking at the floor...

Armaan look at Siddhant whose eyes were on Riddhima and Riddhima staring at the floor...
'Actually I do have a problem Shilpa...
But I guess u didn't wanna hear anything so u bring him back again...' Armaan says...
'But Armaan...' Shilpa try to talk but Armaan cut her by showing his hand...
'Dekho Shilpa... Main tumhe ek model ki haisiyyat se bhulaya... Nahi ek friend ki...
Humhare company koh tumhare jaise model ek show ke liyeh chahiyeh... Aur rahi baat mere company ki designer koh pasand nehi aayi tumhari friends office ki andar chale...
Its a rule I had made for everyone... It was I who strickly as others to follow and never let anyone misbehave and break it..' Armaan says...
'Armaan.. Main toh bas use tumse milvane ke liyeh le aayi ti...' Shilpa says...

Armaan eyes were still on Siddhant who was glaring at Riddhima as he had seen a treasure which he had lost from years...
Actually Riddhima wasn't less then a golden treasure...
'Really... Nice of u Shilpa...
Go ahead and introduce so he can leave and we can talk about the work...' Armaan says..
'Oh ya...
This is Siddhant... Siddhant Modi... My dad's friend son...
Actually from past one year, Siddhant and dad r partners..
And Siddhant... This is Armaan...
Armaan Mallik... My friends from collage...' Shilpa says...

Siddhant forward his hand to shake and Armaan took it not to show his rudeness... And also he don't want to create a scene...
'Nice meeting u Armaan...' Siddhant said...
'Same here.. Now u can leave...' He says seeing every two seconds Siddhant eyes lay on his Riddhima...
'Armaan... Thats rude...
He is my guest... Don't treat him like that...' Shilpa says...
'Its ok Shilpa...' Siddhant says...
'No.. Its not ok...' Shilpa says...
'Ms. Malothra... Don't tell me wht to do and not to...
This is my company and u r staying in my cabin... Main jisse chaahun woh yaha se nikal sakta hoon...
and he is ur guest na... Toh apne guest koh ghar pe chodke kaam pe aaya karo... Don't take ur guest with u to others office...' Armaan said as the anger was waking inside him...
'How dare he look at my Riddhima like that...' Armaan thought...
'Armaan...
tum mere friend ki saat tik se behave nehi kar sakta hai toh main bhi interest nehi hoon tumhare koi bhi fashion show main part lene main...' Shilpa says...

Hearing this Riddhima hold Armaan hand asking him to calm down... Seeing this Siddhant and Shilpa was surprise... As Riddhima was introduce as a designer of Mallik Enterprise...
'Fine..
U can go if u wish not to be a part in the fashion show... I wouldn't force.. I can find another one soon...' Armaan says...
'U can't insult Shilpa like that first bringing her here all the way from US...' For the first time Siddhant said in the whole situation...
'Mr.Modi, u stay out of it...
Its between a boss and his empolyer...' Riddhima says softly...
'Ms. Gupta, maine pehle bhi kaha u don't have any right to say anything to my friend...' Shilpa says..
'Of course she has Ms.Malothra...
If Mr.Modi can talk on ur depend, then she can also speak on my behalf..' Armaan says...

Shilpa and Siddhant were surprise to hear this... Even Riddhima was, she knows she had to stop Armaan, if not Siddhant would do anything to hurt him...
Riddhima sqeeze his hand asking him to calm through her eyes which he understood...
'Anyways, Ms.Malothra, if u don't wish to sign... U may leave..
I will find another model...' Armaan says...
'U will pay for this Armaan...
U have insult be today in front of her, I wouldn't let u go so easily... I will make u get no one as a showstopper ever in any of ur show...' Shilpa says...
'Try if u can Shilpa...
Even u insult me and my empolyees.. So its not a big deal for me...
Mere bohot enemies hai jisko mere company se problem hai... Humhare success se problem hai... But I dont mind and I never will leave accepting its my defeat.' Armaan says...

Shilpa and Siddhant leave from there and Armaan still keep staring at them... He just wanted to kill that Siddhant for once hurting his Riddhima and now eyeing her as if she was his property...
'Armaan.. Kiya hogaya hai tujhe... Aise koi karta hai...' Riddhima says coming infront of him...
'Maine kiya kardiya...
Mujhe pata hai woh kamina jaan bhujke Shilpa ki saat aaya hai... Tumhe dekha nehi woh kaise tumhari tarah dekh raha ta...' Armaan says...
Riddhima saw anger in Armaan eyes for the first time...
'Armaan...
Lekin aise karne se nuksaan toh humhe aur humhare company ka hoga na... Now I am sure Shilpe will do anything she could make to not to let our show happen...' Riddhima says getting worried now what they will do to get a new model...
Fashion show was to held in after two weeks and no showstopper...
'Don't worry Riddhima...
Ek model gayi hai toh kiya huva.. Dusra aajaenge...
Bohot log hai jo Mallik Enterprise main kaam karne ki sapna dekhte hai...' Armaan said...

Armaan inform Mr. Khanna to get him another list of the famous models...
Soon after an hr he got a list and both Armaan and Riddhima was checking it...
The day end and still they didn't got any Suitable person who could be as good as Shilpa...

~ DAY BEFORE LEAVING PARIS ~

Riddhima and Armaan were sitting in Armaan cabin...
From a week they had been trying to contant models but everyone says they r busy... Riddhima was not seeing any luck but Armaan keep saying something or another would happen...
Both was tired and it was end of the day... Everyone left leaving them alone and next day was the day they had to leave for Paris..
After four days, Fashion show would happen and still they don;t have a showstopper...
'Kiya hoga Armaan...' Riddhima ask who was sitting...

Armaan was standing near the window looking outside from the high building to see lights were on over the country...
'I have someone else in my eyes.. But I don't know if she would agree...
If she agree, then our problem will be solved... Nehi toh jo abhi models hai us main se kissi koh showstoper bana na hoga...' Armaan says...
'Armaan...
Tumhi ne kaha na anyone would like to work with ur company... Then why would she has problem...
Tum baat karo, I m sure woh maan jaenge.. nehi toh tum mujhe batao uski number main use call karke baat karti hoon...' Riddhima says...

Armaan look around and stood in front of Riddhima... Riddhima was sitting near the table and was waiting for Armaan to reply her... Give her the person number so she, could final it tonight it self...
'Armaan.. Jaldi karo.. batao...' Riddhima ask him again...
Armaan bend down to her holding side ways of her chair which she was sitting... Riddhima was taken back with this act of Armaan... But hold her breath as he moves closed to her and whisper near her ear 'TUM..'

AR FF... FROM THE TIME I SAW YOU...

PART 25...

Armaan was standing near the window looking outside from the high building to see lights were on over the country...
'I have someone else in my eyes.. But I don't know if she would agree...
If she agree, then our problem will be solved... Nehi toh jo abhi models hai us main se kissi koh showstoper bana na hoga...' Armaan says...
'Armaan...
Tumhi ne kaha na anyone would like to work with ur company... Then why would she has problem...
Tum baat karo, I m sure woh maan jaenge.. nehi toh tum mujhe batao uski number main use call karke baat karti hoon...' Riddhima says...

Armaan look around and stood in front of Riddhima... Riddhima was sitting near the table and was waiting for Armaan to reply her... Give her the person number so she, could final it tonight it self...
'Armaan.. Jaldi karo.. batao...' Riddhima ask him again...
Armaan bend down to her holding side ways of her chair which she was sitting... Riddhima was taken back with this act of Armaan... But hold her breath as he moves closed to her and whisper near her ear 'TUM..'

'Wht...' Riddhima was shocked to hear this...
How can she be the showstopper... She is not even a model...
'Haan.. N that dress would look superb on u...' Armaan said winking at her...
'Armaan... Tumhe abhi tak mazak suj raha hai...' Riddhima says making an angry face seeing him winking at her...
However as she was angry, but the blush took place on her cheeks with his naughty act...
'Seriously Riddhima... U can be this time.. Please yaar...
Nehi toh we had to skip that dress and make someone else as showstopper who r already in the list..' Armaan says...
'No way Armaan...
koi na koi toh miljaenge... Main kaise...' Riddhima says...
'Common... I know u would do awesome...' Armaan try to make Riddhima agree...

Soon her mobile started to ring... It was from her house her mom asking when both of them r reaching as already others were in her house waiting for them for dinner...
'Aa rahi hoon mom.. bas 10mins...'Riddhima says and she got up...
'Riddhima.. Please think over it..
I think it would be a super duper idea...' Armaan says...
'Armaan.. Tum paagal hogaye ho...
Really.. me and Showstopper... U r crazy...' Riddhima says collecting her stuff and leaving...

Armaan also follow her as they both were going same place...
'yaar Riddhima.. Mere liyeh itna nehi kar sakti tu...' Armaan says making a cute face...
'Common Armaan..
How can I be... Tum samajhne ki koshish karo...' Riddhima said..

Both were bickering over it till they reach Gupta Mansion...
Riddhima ring the door bell and it was Anjali who open... 'Kitni der laga di...' Anjali says seeing both AR...
'Haan di woh bas kuch last minute kaam ta na.. Issiliyeh...' Riddhima says... She was glad Armaan stop talking over it when Anjali open the door...

Riddhima went to freshen up and Armaan also when to wash his face before joining dinner with others...
Soon both were sitting with others having dinner and enjoying...

After dinner, everyone gether to the hall and Billy ask Armaan about the arrangement and about the models...
'Dad... Showstopper nehi mila...
Lekin mere nazar main koi hai... But she is not agreeing...' Armaan says when he got the opportunity... He knows even other could try their luck to make Riddhima agree...
If his dad and mom ask, Riddhima wouldn't say no.. Also if Shashank uncle don't have a problem...
'Toh use baat karke manao na...' Shashank said...
'Kabse use baat kar rahi hoon Uncle.. Lekin keh rahi hai woh aur showstopper, sab hasenge...' Armaan copy Riddhima...

Nikki and Anjali who was looking closed Armaan and Riddhima behavior sense Armaan was talking about none other then Riddhima...
'Bhai...Aapne pakka pyar se bolana ...' Nikki ask atlast not keeping herself quite... She also had whisper something near Anjali ears to which they hi5 before Nikki open her mouth...
'Haan Niks but woh hai ki...' Armaan says looking at Riddhima...
Riddhima keep asking through his eyes not to take her name infront of them...
'Armaan... Mujhe batao koan hai... Main baat karta hoon use..' At last billy says and Armaan smile with his million dollar smile...
'Haan haan... Armaan... Humhe bhi batao woh koan hai..' Anjali asked as she and Nikki saw his naughty smile which he soon hide before anyone else could see...
'Bataun Riddhima.. Sabko...' Armaan ask Riddhima...

Everyone look at her and she got nervous... Riddhima saw Nikki and Anjali talking in each other ears and seeing the naughtiness in their eyes, Riddhima knows they had guess it...
'Jo batana hai bata doh...
Main bohot tak gayi hoon.. Main chali sone...' Riddhima said and try to leave from there...
She move to stairs when she heard Armaan saying, 'Dad... Riddhima se accha showstopper kaha se milenge... It would be a huge success if she be the showstopper for her design dresses...' Armaan says...
'Kiyaaa...' Billy shouted...
'Riddhima aur Showstopper..' Shashank said aloud making Riddhima closed her eyes knowing her dad wouldn't let her model...
'Haan.. Kuch galat kaha...' Armaan ask as Shashank jump from his seat...
'Of course not... Its an brilliant idea...' Shashank says...

Riddhima open her eyes wide hearing his dad agreeing Armaan... Was her dad really agreeing with him... How come...
'Princess... Tum isse mana kar rahi ho... Paagal hogayi ho kiya...' Shashank says coming and taking Riddhima back to them...
'Dad.. meri baat toh suno...' Riddhima try to defend but then it was Billy who spoke...
'Beti... tum itna nehi kar sakte humhare liye...
humhare reputation ka sawal hai... Please maan jao na...' Billy said and Riddhima really wasn't liking it... She didn't want Billy Uncle to beg her...

Riddhima look at Armaan as if saying 'Mr.Mallik, U r so dead for putting me in to this situation...' Armaan make a bechara face and smile winking at her for his victory...
'Maanjao Princess..' Shashank said..
'Haan Riddhima beti.. Isse accha moaka kab milenge...'Padma says...
'Ofcourse nehi milenge...
This is ur first show with Mallik Enterprise and U would be the showstopper.. How cool is that...' Anjali says...
'Haan Anjy sahi keh rahi hai.. Maanjao Ridzy...' Atul also joins them...

Riddhim knows now she was trapped between them... And all the thanks goes to her loving to be fiance Armaan Mallik...
'Lekin ek Model ne kaha woh kal jawab denge... So hum wait karte hai...' Riddhima says...
Before anyone could say anything Riddhima mobile ring and it was her... 'its her..' Riddhima says and went to attend the call...
'Oh no...I hope she says no... Atleast we could see Ridzy in the show..' Nikki says...
'Yeah.. I too wish,..' Anjali says...

Riddhima came smiling and look at Armaan as saying he can never win from her...
'Kiya huva Riddzy...' Anjali ask...
'We got new showstopper...
Armaan, she would be meeting us in Paris tomorrow evening..' Riddhima says...
Everyone were happy other then Armaan, others also felt sad that Riddhima wouldn't be on the showstopper now... But they were happy that the showstopper problem was solved...

~ PARIS ~

Malliks with their staff landed Paris next day Evening... They had already book hotel so them to say over near the place where they would be helding the show...
Riddhima was busy checking everything which was taken with them for the show and some employees were helping her...
Soon everyone check in to the hotel and Riddhima was in her room with Muskaan and Sapna who joins them...
'Omg.. I don't believe Armaan got us here in Paris...' Sapna says as she stand in the balcony which was attach to the room which was in 20th floor of the building... They could see most of the Paris from there only..
'Mujhe bhi Sapna...
I am so happy Ridzy got someone like Armaan...' Muskaan says...

Riddhima was checking some list sitting on the bed while Muskaan and Sapna were enjoying the sight of Paris from their hotel...
'The best thing is we could go shopping tomorrow while Riddhima and Armaan goes to see the arrangement for the show...
Nikki and Anjy would be going with us... Wow.. Thats sooo cool...' Sapna says excited...
'Haan.aur show ki baad bhi hum waapas jaane se pehle ek din Riddhima, Armaan aur Atul ki saat janege... haina...' Muskaan says...
'Haan.. Aur I m sure if this show would be a success, Malliks would be throwing a party when they go back...' Sapna says...
'Yess... Aur hum us din ke liye yaha se gown lenge.. Hainaaa..' Muskaan says...

Riddhima who just finished her work for the day, lay down on th bed closing her eyes... She can hear Sapna and Muskaan talking outside in the balcony... She look once at them, who was getting excited about something and hi5ing each other...
Smiling to her crazy friends and in which topic they must be discussing, Riddhima closed her eyes as she was hell tired after traveling and checking if everything they need was there safely...
Riddhima open her eyes as her mobile started to ring and saw Armaan calling...
'Hmmm...' Riddhima asked as she was so tired and again at morning she and Armaan would have to go and check the arrangement and be with the models...
'Riddhima.. So rahi ho kiya.. Dinner nehi karna..' Armaan ask lovingly...
'Armaan abhi toh 6bhaje hai... 8bhaje dinner kare.. Atleast mujhe abhi nehi karni... Main Muskaan aur Sapna koh boldungi dinner ke liye neeche jaane ke liyeh...' Riddhima says still laying the way she was...
'Yaha bhi sab keh rahi hai 8bhaje karenge.. Toh hum sab 8bhaje neeche lobby main milenge ok...' Armaan says..
'Hmm.. bye..' Riddhima says and cut the call...

By the time Muskaan and Sapna came inside and started to unpack...
'Hero ka phone ta Ridzy..' Muskaan ask who was going washroom to freshen up...
'Hmm... 8bhaje sabko lobby pe bhulaya hai... Dinner karne sab saat main jaenge...' Riddhima says still her eyes closed...
'Muski.. tu jaldi karo.. Mujhe bhi fresh hokhe tohdi der rest karna hai...' Sapna says as she sit on the bed next to Riddhima who was laying uncomfortable way...
When Muskaan went inside, Sapna look at Riddhima...
'Ridzy.. Yeh kaise lete huve ho tum.. Tik se apne side pe sona.. Aur yeh kiya.. Tumne abhi tak change nehi ki...' Sapna says..
'Sapna.. Mujhe sone doh na.. Main baad main fresh hojaungi.. I m very tired Sapnaa...' Riddhima says...
'Haan baad main fresh hona lekin tik se apne side pe sojao na.. Aise bed ki beech main soegen toh main aur Muski kaha soenge...' Sapna says..
'Uff.. Tu bhi na Sapna..' Riddhima got irritated and move to her side...

Sapna smile seeing the cute frown on Riddhima face as she got irritated Sapna asking to move when she was tired and sleepy...
Thinking how childish Riddhima get sometimes, Sapna move to get ready to go n freshen up when Muskaan come out...

~ ARMAAN ROOM ~

Armaan was sitting on the bed after calling everyone to inform to meet at 8pm for dinner...
Armaan lay down on the bed before going to fresh up as Rahul was already in there... Armaan open his eyes when he felt something cold was on his face..
He was surprise to see a towel hit his face... He was confused where it had come from... He look around to see Rahul standing in front of the mirror making his hair...
'Rahoool...' Armaan shouted and Rahul turn with a confusion look...
Armaan was angry for Rahul being so careless as throwing towel on bed, on him... Armaan show him the towel and Rahul was confused why he was holding and showing it to him...

Knowing Rahul didn't know wht he was trying to say, Armaan throw the towel back to him which Rahul caught before hitting it on his face...
'Armaan yeh...' Rahul shouted as Armaan throw the towel...
'Kya.. Pehle mere upar pekne se pehle tujhe sochna chahiyeh ta Rahul...' Armaan says moving to take his cloth...
'Maine kab pekha... Maine toh toh bed pe...' Rahul said keeping in on the chair...
'Exactly... Tumne bina dekhe mere upar hi pekha kyun main toh bed par leta huva ta...' Armaan says...
'Oooppss...' Rahul bite his tongue when Armaan says the reason why is throw it back to him... 'Sorry..' Rahul call behind Armaan who just got in to the washroom...

Everyone met sharp 8 in the lobby and together they went to the restuarent to have dinner...
Everyone go busy in their own grup chit chatting and talking about the show which would be taking in three days...
Armaan ask Atul to be ready so he would accompany Armaan and Riddhima when they go to see the hall and arrangement... Armaan dad also wants to go with them but Armaan ask him to enjoy with his mother and Nikki...
Also Armaan said they could roam around anywhere they want the next to days and do shopping and everything...
Padma and Shashank didn't come but Mallik's were happy that Anjali-Atul, Sapna and Muskaan joins them... Shashank ask Armaan they could take Sapna and Muskaan as they were really closed to Gupta family and special friends of Riddhima...
Also they were friends of Armaan by now as he was in relation with Riddhima..

After dinner everyone got back to their respective rooms as they were tired because of traveling... Armaan ask Riddhima to stop as he had to talk her about the showstopper who hasn't joins them yet..
'Riddhima.. Tumne kaha Ms.Sheena Kumar would be be joining us today evening here... Wht happen... Did u call her...' Armaan ask Riddhima as everyone left..
Anjali, Nikki, Sapna and Muskaan tease them as Armaan ask Riddhima to stay back and Armaan says he just wanna talk about showstopper nothing else... As they were tired too and wanna hit the bed soon, they left without teasing further..
'Pata nehi Armaan... Usne kaha toh ta evening main pochjaenge... Woh seedhe yaha humhe milne wali ti... Lets check reception.. Kyunki humne uske liyeh bhi toh room book karwayi.' Riddhima says...
'Hmmm chalo dekhte hai woh check in ki hai ya nehi..
Nehi ki toh tum first thing in the morning use call karenge ok...' Armaan says as they make their way inside...

After asking in reception if anyone name Ms.Sheena Kumar check in, they came to know she was not there yet...
'Riddhima.. R u sure she is coming..' Armaan ask as they make their way back to room... Armaan thought first to drop Riddhima to her room then go back to his room...
'Haan Armaan.. She conform it last night only...
Aur maine use kaha ta use hum kal rehearsal karne wali hai... Aur we need to make her fit the dress also... Humhare paas 2din hai...' Riddhima says..
'Dekho Riddhima, if she didn't come na, we would be in big problem... That dress is the best from all and humhe woh sabke saamne laana hai har haalat main... Aur haan if this Sheena or whtever her name is, didn't show up na, u r going to be the showstopper..' Armaan says...
'Armaan...' Riddhima says making a sad pouting faces...
'What...
Yeh Malliks ki reputation ka sawal hai Ms. to be Mallik... N u r also a part of it... Samjhi...
Humhara lost, tumhari lost hai Riddhima...' Armaan says...
'I know Armaan... But why to think negative... we should be thinking positive na..' Riddhima says...

Armaan stop and Riddhima keep walking... She stop sensing Armaan was coming with her anymore... She turn to look why he stop walking..
'Kiya huva Armaan...
Common, lets go.. I m so tired...' Riddhima says...
Armaan didn't answer him but was looking out from the near by window... Riddhima came back to him and patted his shoulder but Armaan ask to wait as he was looking something really interest and closely...
Riddhima follow his gaze and saw wht he was looking at... Or its better to say whom he was looking...

Riddhima look at Armaan who eyes turn red by anger... She knows seeing him, Armaan anger roze high to the sky...
Riddhima hold Armaan hand and Armaan look at Riddhima... 'Chalo Armaan...' Riddhima says and pull him away from there...
Riddhima thought it would be better if they didn't talk about it, she knows how much angry Armaan must be at the moment... Both silently reach to Riddhima's room and wishing goodnight Riddhima kiss Armaan cheek...
Armaan kiss her forehead and both bid bye...
As Armaan left, Riddhima quickly call Atul and tell him everything... Also she ask him to check on Armaan as he was really angry to see him there...
Atul ask not to worry and he would check on Armaan and msg her...
Thanking Riddhima cut the call and changed... Sapna and Muskaan were already in deep slumber... Riddhima was walking around the room waiting for Atul msg... Soon he msg saying Armaan is not anywhere to be seen and he call him asking where is he...
He is in his room and said they would be meeting in the lobby by 9am... They r leaving to look at the hall around 10am...

~ TWO DAYS PAST AND IT WAS THE DAY ~

Next two days were really busy for Armaan, Riddhima and Atul who have been looking each and every arrangement which had been done for today... They were personally looking and checking the arrangement so no problem come in last minute...
As they were busy in work, others were enjoying the two day fullest... Shopping and roaming around the city... They were enjoying a lot...

After working for two days, everything was done perfectly...
But they were facing on problem... Ms.Sheena havent shown up... She didn;t answer Riddhima call and today she inform she can't come as her father was admitted in hospital...
Riddhima was upset about this and didn't know wht to do... She went to tell this to Armaan and she knows they can't do anything now...
As today was the day for the show and it was 2pm in the afternoon...
At 7pm guest will started to arrived to the venue...

Armaan and Atul were talking to the manager of the Hall before they leave to the hotel so they could ready and get back on time...
They came to check last minute arrangement and models also came for their last rehearsal and left already before lunch...
'Armaan...' Riddhima came and call his name seeing him talking to the manager...
'Atul carry on...' Armaan says and went near Riddhima... 'Kiya huva..' he ask and saw she was ready to cry...
'Woh..' Riddhima didn't know wht to say, she knows they couldn'd do anything now... A tear fell from her eyes...
'Riddhima..Kiya huva.. Ro kyun rahi ho...' Armaan ask and before Riddhima could say anything Armaan received a call...

Checking the number as it shows unknows, Armaan answer it not knowing who it was...
Before Armaan would say anything whoever it calls says,' Kaha ta namaine.. Tumhe kabhi apne shows ke liyeh showstopper nehi milenge... Aur dekho, jaise aaj us model ne na kaha, aajke baad sab aise na karenge...'
'Shilpa...' Armaan says and laughing she cut the call...
Armaan look at the his mobile which the line was dead from the other end and then look at Riddhima who was crying silently...
'Sheena ne mana kardiya...' Armaan ask as knowing it was the problem now Riddhima was crying...
Riddhima nodded her head and hide her face in her palm... Armaan took her in his arm and try to calm her down...

Atul came to see Riddhima crying hugging Armaan who was trying to calm her down..
'Kiya huva.. Ridzy, ro kyun rahi hai...' Atul ask... He came to inform everything was ready and they need to leave soon so they could come back.. Riddhima had to come by 6pm as Models would be reaching their then..
Atul and Armaan also would be coming with her... So they could be there before the guest arrive...
'Showstopper.. She is not coming Atul...' Armaan says as Riddhima stop crying and was just standing there hugging Armaan...
'Ab... Ab kiya kare...' Atul ask...
'Maine alread solution batadiya... Riddhima tayyar hai toh we can do it... Nehi toh we had to skip the dress... Lekin woh dress is show ki sabse important dress hai...' Armaan says..
'Ridzy tum...' Atul try to make Riddhima understand but Armaan ask him not to say anything further...

Knowing now they can't do anything on this matter if Riddhima don;t agree, they left to hotel to get ready...
Riddhima went to her room as she didn't have much time to get ready and go back to the venue... When Riddhima left Armaan ask Atul to come with him to his Room...
Rahul was already there when they reach, Armaan tell them who was doing it.. and whom he had seen the previous night...
'Mujhe pakka yakeen hai woh Shilpa ke saat milke yeh sab kar raha hai...
Aur dekho us kamine ki himmat, Riddhima ki peecha karte karte yaha tak poch gaya woh...' Armaan says...
'Lekin ab hum kiya kar sakte hai... I hope Riddhima maanjae... Nehi toh jaise tumne kaha woh dress koh skip karna padega...' Rahul says...
'Haan but, woh sabse accha design hai Ridzy ka... maine bhi dekha hai..' Atul says...

They keep talking over the matter and no one got any idea's...
Knowing they were getting late they quickly got ready and meet Riddhima down in the lobby who was wearing a red and black beautiful design saari...
Armaan forget about the problem for a while seeing Riddhima looking beautiful like always... She always make him fall in love with her everytime he meet her... Seeing Armaan lost in Riddhima, Atul ask him to take Riddhima with him and try to convince her..
Atul left with the models and Mrs.Khanna and Mr.Mehra who were handling both female and male models...

As Atul left Armaan move to Riddhima who was standing near the door checking her phone... Armaan came and stand near her to see the worried lines on her face...
However she had get ready for the show, but her face wasn't glowing like always... He knows the reason. he wish he could make everything right and bring the glow on her face...
'Riddhima...' Armaan call her name as she didn;t realized he was there staring at her...
Riddhima look at Armaan who was looking handsome and dashing as always... Riddhima smile but Armaan knows it was fake as it didn't reach her eyes and the spark were missing in her beautiful eyes...
'Chale..' Armaan ask letting his arm her to hold her like a gettleman... Riddhima hold his arm and both move outside...

~ VENUE OF FASHION SHOW ~

Armaan and Riddhima reach sharp 6pm... Atul had reach there with models and everyone were getting ready...
Mrs.Khanna was handling and looking after the female models and Mr.Mehra was handling the males models... Riddhima had check on the males and everything was perfect...
Riddhima move to the female room to see everyone was busy with makeup and all...
'Riddhima. Tumne kuch socha kiya karenge...' Mrs.Khanna ask...
'Pata nehi... Yeh sab mere wajahse huva.. Aur mujhe pata hai mujhe kuch karna hoga.. Nehi toh meri wajahse Armaan koh aur uski company koh bohot nuksaan hone wali hai...' Riddhima says...
'Dekho Riddhima... Nuksaan hoga ya nehi yeh kissi koh nehi pata.. Tum kuch kare aske baad bhi nuksaan ho sakta hai, lekin iska yeh matlab nehi hai hum koshish na kare success haasil karne ke liye...' Mrs.Khanna says...
'Kiya mere aise karne se sab tik hoga...' Riddhima ask Mrs.Khanna...
'I can't promise Riddhima... Lekin koshish ki hai toh baad main dukh nehi hoga, kyunki humne koshish ki ti haina..' Mrs.Khanna says..

Mrs.Khanna went as one model call her to help her... Riddhima was left there thinking wht to do...

'Please Nikki...Jo hona ta woh hogaya ab hum kuch nehi kar sakte... Aur Riddhima already apni aapko iske liyeh blame kar rahi hai... So please koi isbaare main use baat mat karna... and about the dress too ok...' Armaan says...
'Kiya baat hai hero... Tumjhe show ki nehi Riddhima ki bohot chinta ho raha hai...
Lekin tum sahi keh raha hai... Jo huva woh hum badhal nehi sakte...' Muskaan says..
'Muski, I know woh showstopper jo aane wali ti woh kyun last minute main cancel kardi... Anyways hum is baare main aur baat karke apni mood kyun kharab kare...
Jo dikhaya, I think sabko bohot pasand aaya...' Armaan says...

They were busy talking to each other when Ms.Khan and Mr.Mathew came on stage...
'So, I think everyone is really enjoying so far...' Ms.Khan said...
'I am sure they r Ms.Khan...
Now the show is almost going to end... But before that, we wanna introduce one of the special dress that Ms.Riddhima Gupta design specially for this event...' Mr.Mathew said..
'Wonder who is going to come wearing that dress...' Sapna whisper so only the gang could hear this...

Everyone held their breathe not knowing what would happen next... As they know they don't have a showstopper and who could carry the dress nicely becox no one had try it before...
'Armaan bete... Tumne toh kaha showstopper nehi hai.. Toh phir...' Billy ask quitely so no one else could hear...
'Pata nehi Riddhima ne kisko bhejne wali hai Dad... Riddhima ne mujhe kuch nehi batayi is baare main...
aur aapko pata haina jabse main yaha aaya hoon tabse ek baar bhi Riddhima se nehi mil paya... Woh waha backstage main busy hai aur main yaha guest ke saat...' Armaan says...
'Riddhima ne kuch socha hoga toh accha hi socha hoga... After all woh bhi ab jaldi humhare gharke member hone wala hai... Aur use humhare reputation utna hi important hoga jitna uski aur uski family ki hai...' Billy says...

Armaan was happy to hear how much his father trust Riddhima... His Riddhima...
'Even I trust u Riddhima... Tumne jo kuch bhi socha, tik hi socha hoga...' Armaan says and closed his eyes praying to god...
'So people... R u ready... Here is the last piece of design which was done beautifully by our very own Ms..Gupta...
And I am so happy we got a new Showstopper to present this dress..' Ms.Khan says...

Everyone started to whisper to each other not knowing wht was happening...
'New Showstopper...' Rahul ask looking at Armaan and Atul who turn back to them as they hear this...
'Kab huva yeh sab...' Muskaan ask looking everyone as others give 'Don't have any idea' look...
They turn their attention back to the stage as Mr.Mathew announce the showstopper to come on the stage... Everyone hold their breath not knowing wht they had to face...
