Hey Everyone!
her cheeks. She had questions. A lot of questions. Each of which she was
visualizing in her mind. Her feet froze to ground when she saw the name
plate. Yes, she was there, at HIS house.NO, at THEIR house her heart
told her, it was theirs. NO, its HIS. her mind told her.
She
wanted to run, She wanted to scream, She wanted to...to DIE. But she
couldn't. On the Contrary, her heart told her to move, to run into his
warm embrace and sleep, which she
hadn't for quiet a bit of time
She stepped unwillingly and
entered the place, she could feel him. His aura. His Fragrance but more
over his Tears in the air. Passing by the swing she visualized her
wedding day...</font>

<font color="#009999" size="5">Flash back</font>
<font color="#009999"><font color="#999999" size="5">They were standing close to each other signing the papers.
'Congratulations guys now you both are officially wedded'-a friend said
'Yea. congrats you are now officially Mrs. Riddhima Armaan Mallik...ridzi'-said the other...she had blushed then "Badly"</font>
</p>
<font size="5">Present
Yes she was Mrs. RIDDHIMA ARMAAN MALLIK...a smile made through her
lips but only for a nanosecond and soon she came back to
reality...Damn! the ruins of past were hurting her.
But what
really hurt her was now. Just Now. She knew she has to face it...she
had no way to escape. She tumbled down the stairs to the door for the
house. Her heart had formed a lump in her throat by then.
Unwillingly she reached for the door bell. Sometimes later she heard the lock opening.
Her mind blocked. The door opened. Her eyes closed. It was not later
that she heard a sigh. Her almond green eyes opened only to meet his
Grey-Blue Hues.
She moved her gaze immediately to see little sweat beads forming on his
forehead.
ARMAAN MALLIK...there he was. Face... brilliant as
always, Nose... pointed, Hair...falling on forehead and Eyes...OH
THOSE EYES...she could drown in them. But something was missing!They were...they were EXHAUSTED...EMPTY...DEMANDING... DIEING...They showed her the way to
his HEART...it was...SHATTERED into...into INFINITE PIECES...but on
each was written a name...a name which she always wanted to
see...'RIDDHIMA'. It was the last thing she remembered and then
darkness took better of her.
She woke up to find herself in a room. A warm smile made its way to her
lips... again for a 'nanosecond'...Is he gone???...NO. NOT AGAIN.
She ran...and ran for her life literally this time. She searched in to
kitchen, lawn, TV lounge and then she heard some noise in the hall. It
was HIM...She ran to him!
'Armaan',she sighed. He turned. Their
eyes met. Time froze. It was them and their heart beats played the
music. Every thing froze for a moment...yea indeed a moment only!
The next second she knew she couldn't drown in the pool of love shown
in his eyes...wait love??? did she think LOVE?. She couldn't believe
herself, it was just seeing what it wanted to, she told herself and then
she controlled her tears, But she didn't have to because she saw them in
his eyes too! Oh her heart wrenched!
'Armaan', she managed to say. </font>
She had questions. He had answers. Both had love. Both wanted same
thing. Both had to utter but Both didn't have words. ""Fate"" all their
world was now depending upon this single life changing word.
'Kyun?', she said in a cracked voice! 'Kyun Armaan Kyun?' He look at her face, it was tear stained like his. He remembered the sleepless nights he had without her. Every night he would cry to sleep and nextmorning getup to cry, His face had looked exactly the same then
'Bask...Ridh..Ridhhima me', he wanted to say but...but couldn't after all he had promised!
Armaan Mallik was the "Charmist". Above all now he had nothing except
respect and one more thing. If nothing else than Armaan Mallik was known
for "Keeping his word" and that is why he had to stop. He couldn't
break his word!
'Armaan please kuch to bolo Armaan...kyun kiya
tumne yeh?', she said collapsing on floor along with him, they were face
to face now.
He came back form his trance by her words.
'Riddhima mai...mai', he didn't know what to say He could hve easily lied
if it was someone else! but no! it was Her...She was HIS RIDDHIMA! He
knew that he couldn't lie to her. He was like an open book for her. He
wanted to speak but he had promised HIM!
Seeing his silence
riddhima looked at him and felt sorry...sorry for his eyes that they were too bad at hiding things from her but the next moments present came back to her and shesaid. "Kuch to bolo Armaan...kuch to
bolo...tumhari ye khamoshi yun hi...yun himeri jaan le le gi (his bowed eyes
shot at her) Armaan dekho...dekho please kuch bolo nahi to...nahi to
me maar jaun gi..." when riddhima didn't get any response she said
"Armaan tumhe meri kasam hai kuch to bolo"
That was it! Armaan couldn't help
it! Now he couldn't hide it to her anymore and now she had given him her
swear! He had to tell her now!
"Bolo na Armaan kya hua tha us din...ab apni khamoshi todo please Armaan please",she said crying.
"Ridh...Ridhima us us din..." and he started narrating while hiccupping and she heard him cupping his face...</font>
