Tale of the Shopping Fiasco

"Ridz, did we have to bring him along? I thought this was supposed to be girl fun time?" Anjali asked her sister, irritated with the guys' cries of 'I'm bored' and 'How long?', well, everyone except Atul and me. Why would I be bored? As long as I got to stare at Riddhima, I was fine. And those dresses she was trying on made her look like the Riddhima I met at the wedding. Back then, I never would have believed we would come such a long way.

"Di, what can I do? Armaan insisted on helping me select the dresses for the wedding, and I couldn't say no to him," Riddhima pleaded. She looked cute even when she did this. Her puppy dog eyes had the power to make me melt like ice cream.

"Anjy, let her na. Vaise bhi, our in-house Romeo is not going to leave her alone, nor is your Romeo. See how excited he is to see you trying on dresses," Muskaan told Anjali, winking and giving her a nudge. And then she started laughing. Instantly, I closed my ears, cursing her. Poor Riddhima had by now turned red in the face, making me want to go and pinch her nose.

"Oh shut up Muskaan, look at those two, they're at it again," she said to Muskaan, then calling out to Riddhima, she said, "Ridz, stop staring at that monkey and stare at these dresses." I was too engrossed at cursing Muskaan to notice that Riddhima had been trying to talk to me. As I began looking at her again, Muskaan threw something at me, which narrowly missed and hit Atul right in the centre of his forehead.

I felt like hitting that girl, she always interrupted those few romantic moments we had. Muskaan was a definite pain when she wanted to be but the one thing I was happy about was her poor aim. She had actually thrown her lipstick at me, which hit Atul with such force that the manager now had to call for ice.

"Anjy, Muski, Nikki, stop sitting here like aunties and go try on these dresses," I said, giving them 4 dresses each and sending them, actually pushing them into the changing room. As soon as I saw that they were safely inside, I pulled Riddhima into one of the empty changing rooms, ignoring Rahul and Abhi's curses which were being hauled at me.

"Armaan, what are you doing? What if Di comes to know? She will kill both of us Armaan," Riddhima told me, trying to reach the bolt. I held her hand and brought it towards my chest, playing with her fingers. They were so smooth and fit perfectly into mine.

"Nothing doing Riddhima, you forgot that we met on this day, 5 years ago?" I asked her, still playing with her fingers, my other hand running through her hair.

"But Armaan, I joined that hospital 4 years ago and it wasn't today? What is wrong with you?" she asked me, looking very confused.

"Basket, we met at a wedding, remember?" I whispered, going close to her again. After all, it was our little secret. Just when she was about to reply, a loud kick on the door interrupted us and all I felt like was to kick that person.

"Armaan, open the door NOW or I swear to god, I will strangle you with my own bare hands," Anjali shouted.

"Di, 20 minutes please," Riddhima shouted out, surprising me. Knowing the girls, they would never let her hear the end of this.

"Ohho Ridzi, 20 minutes and all?" Muski teased her and then started singing 'hum tum ek kamre mein bandh ho, aur chaabi hum chupaaye, uske naino ke bhool bulaiyya mein, Ridzy kho jaaye'.

Riddhima, who was wearing stilletos saw Muskaan's leg closer to the door and kicked her hard through the gap, making her stumble and resulting in a fall, which was incidentally Rahul's as her silence signified. I gave her a small pat on the back and gave her a thumbs-up sign, happy to hear Muskaan's screams. As they took her somewhere, presumably to make her sit, I decided to enjoy the silence with Riddhima.

I slowly reached into my back pocket and removed a bar of Twix, Riddhima's favorite chocolate, and handed it to her. The joy in her eyes was unmatched to any I ever saw, unless it was her with her Twix. She immediately began eating the chocolate, relishing it. I took advantage of the involvement and crept up behind her. Since she didn't notice, I got out the chain I bought for her and put it around her neck. Feeling some movement, Riddhima turned, finally noticing the chain in the mirror.

"Armaan, why does this chain have BAR' on it?" she asked me. I chuckled, expecting it to be the first question she asked me.

"Riddhima," I began, removing three more pendants from my pocket reading D, M and G, "it stands for Basket, Armaan and Riddhima and these are for Dill Mill Gayye. I was actually confused which one to choose so I went with both."

All of a sudden, I was knocked off my feet as Riddhima pounced on me, giving me a hug. I slowly bit her earlobe, making her jerk behind. Seeing that her lips were partly open due to the shock, I kissed her slowly when I felt her trying to kiss me faster. After around 2 minutes, we were both out of breath when someone knocked on the door and requested' us to come out since there were other customers who were waiting to try on their dresses.

Before coming out, Riddhima checked her appearance about ten times and adjusted her lipstick again and again murmuring about how it was unfair' that she was the one looking disheveled while I was looking as impeccable as ever. When we came out, I found Muskaan with her slippers in her hand, ready to attack us for her pain. And then we ran before any red blood came out from either of our bodies.

So, this is dedicated to Maitu for qualifying :') BABBYYY <3
