1000 square feet malik mention...
Shashank malik { ceo of malik empire}
Descending for stairs shashank malik greeted his wife {padma malik} with a small peek on her cheek .."hye honey gudmrnggg"
She hugged him back and smiled..." Sit shashank and have breakfast quietly I don't want to hear ur m getting late tone..." she warned him in a stern voice on which he pouted while their elder son who was already seated for breakfast giggled on his parents cuteness...
Shashank gave him tough looks patting his back lightly..." don't worry champ just six months and anjali's degree will be completed and then I will see how u handle ur wife..."
Atul coughed ..." mmm sorry dad I was just..." he made a puppy face
On which padma and shashank both laughed
Sh .." waise where is my wonder boy ...i have a important meeting for that I need to see his face before I go..."
Padmaa shook her head saying..." what would he be doing is 10:30 now and ur son dosnt wake up before 1pm..."
Atul ..." and then he will wish all of us good morning hahaha" he laughed at his younger brothers antics ...
Sh..." its ok yahi toh din hai uske life ko enjoy kern eke kyoki baar baar business join kern eke baad time nahi milega..."
Shashank said smiling ...
Paddma cut him between ..." Before making plans just once hear ur son's plan too coz I don't think he has any plan to work..."
Atul tried to defend .." its ok mom I will see to it u don't worry and u just consult dr. mehra coz he called me in the night and asked me to tell u ...so u just call him once after once we leave..."
He stood up for office and found his father missing ...
At.." and now where is dad..."
Padma smiled softly at their daily routine.." where else apne wonder boy ko ek najar dekhne gaye honge..."
In a huge room which was morden but with classic touch a 23 year old guy was sleepy, his head covered with cushions...shashank entered the room and sat near the bedpost, he peeped just to get a glimpse of his handsome son but vain, but he needed to see his face o he pushed one of the cushion aside ...and there he was sleeping with his cute dimpled smile ...
Sh.." armaan son open ur eyes its drawn see...u should wake up now..."
He opened his blue beautiful eyes lazily and closed again ..." daddd let me sleep naa its to early..."
Shashank laughed and let him sleep ..." of I wana see u on dinner understand..."
Armaan replied in sleepy voice..." ohhkk dad will try if I don't have any party..."
11:00 pm at night
Shashank and padma were sitting and waiting for armaan ...
Padma .." dekh lo shashank tumhari choot ka natija he is so careless jindagi ko majak samjh rakha hai usne, u told him naa fir bhi nahi aya..."
With this a tear rolled down her cheek ...shashank took a deep breath and tried to console her..but she stopped him..." nahi shashank u heard dr. mehra today, he said u don't have time now...{she broke in tears..} hardly six months and then u will leave me tab tab kaise rahungi mai aur kya hoga uss armaan ka jisse tum itna pyar kerte ho ..."
Shashank spoke in horsed voice ..." I know padma I think with time he will understand but I failed...I failed as a father ..."
Pd.." noohhh shashank u r worlds best fath and now ur sons have to prove that they r world best sons...atul has already proved now we have to make armaan understand life is not only fun..."
Sh.." yaaah I will ask him to come to office ..."
Armaan entered in his house and found all lights switched off...he looked around quite amused ..."emmm what happened here ...but its good now I can go to my room easily ..."
He smiled naughtily and walked towards his room in hushed steps ...just then lights went on and he stopped dead on tacks seeing shashank and padma gravely standing between his way ...
He bitted his lips "u r so dead armaan malik ..." Making innocent faces he tried melt them but defeated
Smiling sheepishly..." Emmm hi mom dad u up so late ..."
Padma spoke in stern voice ..." Jin ma baap ka jawan beta raat ke 4 baje ..sorry subah ke 4 baje tak ghar se bhahar rehta ha unhe asksar need nahi aati..."
Armaan knew he was stuck bad and only his dad could save him ..so he turned to shashank...
Ar.." dad u know na how friends r, actually it as rahuls birthday and he didn't let me come really I want to but I couldn't break his heart ..."
Padma took hold of shashank's hand as she knew how hard for him to scold his dear armaan...shashank looked in padma's eyes and he knew he couldn't let him spoil his life..."no armaan I have taken enough of u now I wanted u to be responsible...I will see u at my office sharp at 8.00 pm now good night ..."
They both left the place throwing big bomb on armaan..he was speechless coz it was very first time shashank spoke to him like this ...he always loved him more than anything else coz he was his wonder boy who changed his life and made him the man he was now...
Boy he was scared, scared that all of sudden his dad chose to be in opposite team...but hat could he do he have to manaofing his dear dady coz mom is hard nut to crack ...he paced and paced for long two hours in his room but his good for parting only brain wasn't giving any idea..." god what should I do.." he spoke in frustration...and than ureca. His face lit up with the idea, .." I should talk to anji, she is mamma'a girl she will surely have some idea to manao my parents.."
Tring tring
5:00 am
"who the hell has called...god its not even drawn yet..." anji cursed peaking form her duvet and found armaan's name flashing, her eyes went saucer ..." God he cant wake up this early and I cant even say suraj kaha se nikla coz abhi toh nikla hi nahi..."
" hyee anjii ..." he spoke in a cheeky voice...while anji replied straight .." cut the crap armaan and tell me why the hell u up at this time..."
He laughed at her reaction ..." what I was tring to be sweet.." she greeted her teeth ..." sweet my foot and now shoot or m sleeping..." he pouted .." ok dad want me to join office and i..."
" I know I know mr. armaan malik is still enjoying his life and he don't want too..."
He smiled shyly ..." Noo I will join might after some days ..."
An.." daysss..."
Ar..." ohk might some years.."
An." I doubt if ever dt day will come ..."
They both laughed ...on this .." armaan I don't think so I day in office will kill u and beside that there will be a lot of hot chicks ..."
Ar.." hemmm I didn't thought from this prospect ...good night anji.."
Next day
5:00 pm at malik industries ...
Armaan was standing in front of atull gazing the floor with keen interest...atul coughed hard to gain his attain ..." what's the time armaan are u came to work her at the time when half of the staff is ready to leave ..."
Ar.." wo bro I was coming really but rahul met a accident and then I lost the count of time..."
Atull spoke a bit sternly ..." armaan u cant fool me I very well know what kind of accident u and rahul met in pub ..."
Armaan bit his lips as the dear was caught in between head light ..." emm bro where is dad..."
He hoped changing the topic can changed his suddenly hot turned stars ...
At..." mom and dad left for india one hour ago ..."
Ar.." what why all of sudden india..."
At.." I don't know mom got a call and then they both left in our privet jet ..."
Ar.." ohkk"
3 days later ...
Sh..." I want armaan in my study in 10 mins..." shashank ordered a servant and he ran to call armaan..
Now armaan was standing infront of his dad confused ..when they came back ..hell he dosnt even kow that...
He was facing the back of his father's leather chair ...little scared coz all of sudden he felt the study turned in to some Hollywood don's den and he is here to plead for his life...
Sh..." there are to files on the table I want u to see the blue one first .."
Armaan hesitantly picked the blue file and it was shashank's will ..he started reading it slowly ...but shashank cut off him in between...
Sh.." this will say that my 50 % property will be transferred on ur name only if u got married ..." Shashank took a pause while armaan mouth and eyes turned in to a big o...
Ar..." whattt..."
Sh..." with in one hour ..."
Ar.." what the hell.."
He was numb, how could this be happening with him, this must be a dream a bad bad dream no nightmare yes it's a night mare ...shashank voice showed him reality
Sh.." only 30 mins left ...as u wasted ur precious 30 mins being in sweet shock..."
Ar.." no dad u cant do this to me how the hell I will get married in 30 mins for god sake I need a girl for that..."
Shashank smirked ..." hemm u r right let me help u pick the red file these r marriage registrar papers with the girl's sign if u want u can sign too and u don't need to worry for ur bride ..."
Armaan took a deep breath ...he felt like he was stuck between sky and earth ..." this all is a trap u already decided the girl and this all is just a drama to make me agree for this marriage ..."
Sh.." u can think what ever u want but let me tell u...just 15 mins left..."
Ar..." no dad how could u do this to me plzzz m ur armaan dad plzz..." he pleaded

Shashank roared in a laud voice.." armaan malik if u didn't sign these marriage papers with in 10 miins then swear on ur mom I will make sure u dosnt get even a peny of my name..."
Armaan was stuck badly stuck he know now he don't have any escape ...he have to and he signed the papers...
And gave then back to shashank reading the girl's name ..." Ridhhima Gupta..."
Sh.." congrac son u took a right decision m so happy for u..."
Shashank huged armaan while he was standing numb..." as now u already signed the papers I don't think u would have any problem in getting married again with our Indian tradistion...armaan nodded he daze as he was in big shock to react
Sh.." ohk everything is ready today night u will get married in front of everyone..."
Evening 6: 00 pm
Armaan was sitting in his room with his friends mushkan, rahul anjali ...they all were silent hearing why they were there that to dressed in formals ...armaan was looking down hell tensed where the hell his life was leading ...while his friends were staring him and then all of sudden they all bust in to laughing
Armaan popped his head up and was looking them confused..why the hell they r laughing are they in shock ...but still why they r laughing...
Ar." Why u all are laughing.." he asked pouting like a kid...somehow rahul managed to speak between his fits of laughter while others were still rolling..
Ra.." dude its just so funny means in all it happen to you the armaan malik who dosnt date a girl more then week got married to girls whom he didn't even seen ..."
Anji to spoke holding her hurting tummy.."and not only married going to remarry that to same girl on the same day still didn't saw her..." and she again bust in fits of laughter...
Armaan stud up frustrated ..." to hell with u all that add is so true her ek friend kamina hota hai..hufff" and he locked himself in the bathroom ..." and I don't wana see her dam face ...I just hate her for running my life..."
Mushkan..." its ok ammy if u don't want but we are going to meet her, I really wana know what girl charmed ur mom dad like this..."
7.30 pm
Armaan was dragged by atul to the mundap and he sat on his place with a sulking face cursing his luck...when rahul joined him...
Ra.." dude stop sulking u dosnt even know how lucky u r...I sure if u didn't had signed marriage papers already I would have ready to marry her on the spot she is so dam gorgeous ...forget gorgeous its not even near her beauty ..."
Armaan stared him confused .." what..."
Ra.." dude u told me ur dad got a girl in india and got u married but hell they got taj mahal for u brother ...she is divine inside out she already got mushki and anji in her friend list ..."
Armaan opened his mouth and closed like a gold fish not able to absorb rahul's words ..just then a tingling sound caught his attention...and he turned in the direction ...
He was numb again in the same day but this time with different sensation ...she was descending from the stairs ...for him the world vanished in fog all he could see was her ..coming down her way to him...
She was enthralling him with her beauty her form was like a goddess...her dark green doe like eyes were
So deep that he could lost in them...but still shining like crystal... like open doors of her heart ...her little pointed nose so kissable ...her rose petals like lips ...I couldn't help but think how would they feel on mine...god rahul did no justice describing her beauty she is like a delicate pearl in ocean and now mine
She came and sat next to me and I was still staring her like a fool ..her dark long eye lids were down ...I think she was shy to look at me...this thought made me smile. I didn't know when all rituals got performed I just did every thing dazed ...dazed in her beauty ...i even forgot how I was forcefully dragged in this alliance .
i was feeling butterflies tingling my heart...she was no is my wife now ...mrs. riddhima armaan malik gosh it sound so good...and as we wer announced man and wife we took blessing of our elders and were dragged towards the stage where every body came to congratulate us ...argghh it was irritating...
I don't know when the hell it all will be over ..and this reminds me of my first night ...oh couldn't help that stange feeling in the pit of my stomach ...it was my first night ...wohhh ..i might get lucky to night ...I was stealing gimps on every possible moment but always found her looking down greeting the other ppls...and now it was turn of my good for nothing friends ...anji and mushki hugged her and he she smiled for the first time I saw that breath taking smile yes coz seeing her smiling like that caught my breath in my throat ...her laughter was like pearls scattered on floor ...god help me I will die coz of this beauty who is my wife now...
Jeez if I died what will be the headlines tomorrow " the great armaan malik couldn't take his wife's beauty..hahaha dt wil be funny for sure...
Atlast the torture stopped after dinner and lots of irritating rituals I was standing in fort of my room...oh not to forget that extra money which I paid to get entry in my own room...god my heart beat it was so fast as if m running on a race track ...I remember once I saw a bollywood movie in which heroin was waiting for her husband with a veil ...will she be waiting for me like that...this thought made blood rush to my vanes with rapid speed... somehow I managed to open the door with trembling hands...god whats happening to me ... ...
I entered my room ...but alas didn't found her pout she was supposed to wait for me..humpp
I paced and paced trying to understand what exactly happening ...ok let me count firstly mom and dad suddenly went to india and then suddenly made me marry a girl whom I didn't even know but my good luck she was extremely beautiful one no no the most beautiful one god had surly did a lot of hard work engraving her ...one sec I think I have lost the track I was supposed to hate her and throw her out of my life and here I m busy parsing her more like a poet ...gosh this beauty surly knows some magic .hummpp..yaaah that is why m this much attracted to her just by seeing her ...
He sat on the bed trying to solve the puzzle of his life...but ended being more and more confused ...
Yaaah I shouldn't look like a despo in front of her..what will be my image if I will follow her like a lost puppy...I wont give in yaah I wont its decided ...she might be beautiful...but she wont fit in my lifestyle ...
He tried hard not to fall in her charm but the more he tried the more he was falling for her ...her charm was enthralling him like she was a charm caster ...
He didn't knew when he slept thinking about her...
In padma's room...
Padma..." I don't know riddhima I what word I should thank you for marring my son that to without any questions..."
She was standing in front of riddhima poring her heart ...
Riddhima.." no mom don't thank me plzzz I trust you and dad I know you wont let anything worng happen to me..."
Padma smiled seeing her trust ..." yes beta I will be at u side always as now m not only armaan's mother but yours too...so as a mother I want to tell u something "
She patted the place next to her and riddhima silently sat there...
Padma..." riddhima ...armaan was very lucky for us as after his birth only we got every thing we have now...this thing made him over pampered ...he always got had he wanted without even asking...but he isn't bad beta ..he wont cross his limits ever or disrespect you in any manner ...bus thora nadan hai mera beta bigra hua nahi...we just wanted him to understand his responsibilities and when we saw u in sanjeevni we both knew if u came in her life my son will shine with his qualities ... "
Riddhima smiled lightly and hugged padma..." I will try mom ..."
Padma..."thanku beta thanku so much now shashank apna cancer treatment kushi se karaynge coz ab tum ho armaan ke liye yaha ..."
**********************************
Riddhima entered her ne room and found armaan sleeping like a cute baby cuddling to his duvet ...she couldn't help but smile...she slept on the couch after changing...
Next morning...
Next morning armaan opened his eyes with the tingling sound..his sleep was disturbed but still inspite of frown, a adoring smile covered his face...he opened his eyes lazily and found riddhima standing in front of dressing table fresh after shower, drying her wet hairs ..her bangles making magical sound ...
He stared her dumb stuck...and wow his favorite color ... She was entangled in a sauce wala red sari...looking beautiful as ever ...he didn't know for how long he was staring her drinking, her beauty with his eyes ...as he was busy ogling her, he didn't realized when she left the room...
He ran a hand in his hairs frustrated ..."shit again lost the chance talking to her ...jeez silly me..but I didn't thought what I will talk to her...ehhehehe" he laughed on his own stupidity and left for washroom...
On the breakfast table ...
He sat silently trying not look obvious...but his eyes were searching her ...he found her helping the cook...and didn't liked it at once..why the hell she was doing this when she was supposed to sit next to him ...
The food got severed and the very first bite he took let out a mona..."emmm yummyyy..." All turned to him and he laughed sheepishly..." I just loved it what this..."
He asked looking at food and his head shot up when he heard her voice ..her voice for the first time..." it aloo ka paratha..." hemmm she sound melodious god m getting trapped ...he spoke to himself still staring at her, she lowered her eye lids not to make a eye contact ...he dt made him smile unintensely
Shashank and padma coughed to gain some attention and got him out of his dream land ...
Sh..." armaan I was thinking of throwing a party tonaight for u two..."
Shanky spoke to armaan to get some response from him but actually he wanted to know hows he feeling ...still trying to look angry with his father's stunt he spoke with a straight face...
Ar..." no, not needed my friends had thrown a party for me tonight and m going there..."
He tried hard to look angry and hurt but his glittering eyes told shashank that he was happy...shanky smiled and spoke..." ... u r going na than I will introduce riddhima to my friends simple..."
His eyes popped what the hell ..." Dad my friends threw a party for my wedding so that means I have to attend that with my wife..."
He spoke irritated and shanky padma and atull laughed at his response. The truth was out now he had happily accepted this marriage ...when the reality drowned him he looked down muttering something to himself and his all efforts to look angry to his parents were drained...
Whole day he faced her many times but every time he forgot what he wanted to talk...and now it was evening for a change he was ready waiting for her in the parking ...examining every single thing grass to stars just to kill the time but now he getting impatient...so he tried to thing about her coz this is only thing which make him obvious to world from tomorrow..." I thing she will wear sari or any other Indian attire..western is not her cup of tea I guess ...but she was looking hot and sexy in dt saring in morning...god if any point I put against her my own heart starts defending her " he frowned but that frown soon replaced by shock and then a huge grin there she was standing at the porch wearing a peach color knee length dress complementing her skin, she was elegant yet sexy...
He opened her side of door like a gentleman and then drove the car...every eye was set on them when they entered the pub girls were burning in jealously while boys looks like if they had ants in their pants...he smirked sexily seeing the response and took hold of her waist by his hand lightly to mark her his...the party was on its full swing all were enjoying but he was least bothered the only thing that was delighting him was her smile the way she laughs and carry herself with a princess like allegiance..charm caster yes it was the right word for her coz just in 24 hours she had made the armaan malik fall head over heels for her that to without even having a conversation with him...
They danced on soft music hand in hand and eyes drowned in each other ..his heart fluttered when she placed her palm over his heart someone walk passed them that made armaan misbalanced a little..this made his name escape from her mouth ..." armaaann..." he didn't knew his very name could give him immense pleasure for the first time he felt the meaning of his name desire yes he desired for her and only her now and the very moment he decided she is the one he wanted to grow old with, she is the one for whom he wana be armaan..riddhima's armaan...and he will do everything to make her fall for him...for this he have to know her ..her dreams her liking her disliking but question is how he will get to know her coz ..its useless to think that he could ask her coz when she is in front of him he couldn't think or talk...he grinned as a idea clicked ...
The very next morning anji joined them for breakfast there were only atul anji and armaan riddhima as shanky and padma were out for some cause ...
An.." hye riddhima its delicious god if I was a boy I would have married u.."
Riddhima giggled while atul and armaan frowned...
Ri.." what would atull bhai did then.." anji turned to atul smilig...
An.." oh atull stop pouting I said if and m not a boy for sure toh chill.."
They all laughed while armaan glared her to come to the point...anji coughed a little seeing this but controlled ...
An.." so riddhima I know now u r married but if u dosnt mind what lkind of life partner u wished..."
She looked him from the corner for her eyes ...and smiled..armaan made his ears stand and feed each and every word for future plans ...
Ri.." I never dreamed big, I always had small little wishes like my husband should be responsible, loving caring and a nice human..."
Anji saw a confused look on armaan's face after hearing riddhima and she knew this dumb guy needed to explain so she further enquired ...
An.."riddhima not in mono syllabus explain na plzzz..."
Riddhima nodded..." I mean he should be responsible towards his duties for his family, whatever he dose a job or business he should be devoted and when he is with his family and me he should be devoted to us..."
An.." what about handsome thing.."
Ri.." that's not necessary..."
Armaan pouted like alittle kid he didn't have any of the qualities and the only quality he have isn't in the requirement ...but no worry he will do everything to be her soul mate and make her happy...so much happy that even Juliet will send romiyo to learn from him...
New morning new start...
It was new sunrise every one was shocked seeing a new armaan malik who woke up early and having breakfast that to in a business suit ...everyonce jaw dropped while riddhima just smiled lightly...
Ar..." emmm dad I m joining office from today..."
Shanky nodded hell shocked with the change...armaan has changed or riddhima's presence changed him ..he was just a new person with the same heart now...
It was his first day in office despite of himself he tried to understand every possible point which made his exhausted...he came back home late at 11 pm half in sleep , atul carried him to hi room and made him lay down... Riddhima was standing at a corner watching him sound in sleep looking innocent like a kid...if someone see's him right now will say there is no worry, of hate in this world...
She warmed the food and took it for him..he was deep in sleep...she wondered what should she do..
She somehow managed made him rest on the bed post and nudged him.." armaan have ur food first then sleep.." he whined ..." uhhh" she patted his face lightly ..." armaan m goinggg..."
He instantly opened his eyes but still dazed..." Nooohh u cant go u r mine..." he hugged her pouting like a kid..." yaahhh now eat ur food then sleep.."...he opened his mouth in spite of eating ...she smiled and fed him with small morsels...and he slept in her lap...
It was their daily routine now ...she would feed him and he would sleep in her lap...he calls her from office when ever he gets time and talk anything and everything ..he was happy or say happiest ...armaan malik was deeply and immensely in love with his wife riddhima armaan malik ...
2 months later...
Armaan was in every newspaper due to his achievement in very short span he had 3 big tenders in a row defeating much more experienced ppl in the field ...he was so happy and wanted to celebrate this with her and also confess his feelings, he wanted to tell her how much he loves her...so he planned a special date for them, he call riddhima and asked her to be ready at 8 pm sharp, driver will pick her to the spot...he made every possible effort to make this night memorable for them, flowers, candles, table in middle of pool, sampan and romantic music everything was set...
She reached the place dumb stuck with a ambiance...it was beautifully decorated place with red lamps and candles...4 musicians were playing romantic music the table for two was set in middle and around it was water glittering coz of lights...rose petals were scattered in her way ..everything was just perfect...
He forwarded his hand to her wearing a black tux looking hell hot ready to burn anyone and she was wearing a red gown looking like ice in fire...their eyes met and magic was casted again...the time went still when they were in each others arm...they swayed in each other's arm like a flower in the wind of their love...they looked like a laugh from the lips of a dream in each others arm...
He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes ..." Riddhima I hope now I m the man u desired...I tried to fulfill ur dream and I promise I will make ur every dream come true...I will love u like my last breath and care u like most precious treasure of my life...I don't know how to express that u r the only girl I have fell for and last too...I promise ..." with this he sat on his knees and spoke..." I love u mrs riddhima armaan malik..."
He waited for her response but when she didn't moved he got impatience, he cupped her face in his palm ..." What happened baby any problem.."
she looked down and spoke in whisper..." Armaan mujhe kal subah ki flight se india jana hai my family need me .."
a tear roll down her cheeks which made arman's heart sank..." its ok baby don't cry plzz u can go but come back soon as I cant live without u.."
he hugged her tight s a uneasy feeling started to develop in his heart...
next day riddhima left not giving armaan much time to think...armaan was feeling something wrong is going to happen...as if he was going to lose everything...he tried to give resons to his heart that she will be back with in a week but couldn't help that fuzzy feeling evoking ...
