'CHEERS'
Tanya cheered it with a guy, she was sitting in the hall, holding a glass of Red wine. The guy seemed to smile at her. Smiling back Tanya stood up and spoke.
'Ricky, Aaj sab kutch hamare plan ke accordingly hi hoga...' Tanya turned back and smiled at Ricky taking a sip of wine. Ricky stood up and went towards Tanya.
'Of course baby, hamari plan itni mazboot jo hai...Armaan aur Riddhima ko alag hona hi padega...' ricky said smiling evily
'Armaan ko mere paas ane se koi nahi rok sakta...' tanya sai grittimh her teeth
'Waise Tanya ek baat batao..' ricky asked 'Hmm..' tanya said
'Tum Armaan ke picke kyu padi ho?..' ricky asked 'Lambi kahani hai Ricky, Hum dono saath main hi bade hue hai, Armaan ko dil se maine pyar kiya, bachpan se aur wo Riddhima hum dono ke beech main agayi, Uski himat kaise hoye. Aur Armaan ne aaj tak mere pyar ko notice hi nahi kiya. Maine use college main kaha that ki i love him, Aur usne mujhe reject kar di ?? Mere emotions ko taal diya. How dare he... How dare he reject me...' tanya said getting angry by each second
'Tanya...' he was cut off by Tanya herself. 'Ab main batati hu ki mujhe reject karne ka nateeja kya hota hai.. Armaan Mallik bahoth smart samaj ta hai na apne aap ko... Ab pata chalega usse, Tanya jo kutch bhi pasand karti hai.. wo usse pake hi rehti hai...'
'Waise babe, tumhari idea kamal ka hai..' ricky said smiling 'Idea to hit hoga hi... Riddhima ko apne pyar par yakeen hai na... Ab dekhte hai.. wo kaise apne armaan par trust kar payegi...' tanya said
'Lekin tumhe lagta hai Riddhima believe kar legi?...' ricky asked
'of course kar legi, Riddhima ko yakeen karna hi hoga.. Akhir.. Ussi ne to kaha tha ki jab tak Armaan khud nahi kahega wo nahi manegi...' tanya said giving a sly smile
'Nice.. But what if Riddhima disagrees?...' ricky asked again 'Toh Riddhima ko is duniya se jana padega. Mere aur Armaan ke beech koi bhi nahi asakta... Kabhi nahi...' Saying so Tanya threw the glass of wine she was holding.
'Armaan Mallik, Tumhe mere ishare pe nachna hi hoga. Aaj se tumhari zindigi ka kadi mere hatho main rahegi...' Both start laughing...Tanya hears Armaan's car stopping in from of her, She quickly indicated Ricky to hide himself. Understandingly Ricky Takes away the wine bottle with glasses and rushes to the room beside the hall... Tanya sits on the sofa, She puts 2 drops of water to her eyes.. her head on the sofa's conforter and pretends to cry.

GUPTA HOUSE
Riddhima was biting her nails, She was thinking how to ask permission from Shashank and Padma, specially when everybody were busy with the marriage. She didn't wanted to be a care less daugher and sister. Riddhima was thinking when Shashank spoke.
'Riddhima, yaha kya kar rahi ho?..' shashank asked 'Papa, wo...' riddhima fumbeled
'Apne papa se kutch bolna chahti ho?..' Shashank grinned while asking. 'Ha... Lekin aap ko kaise pata?..' Riddhima was suprised.
'Meri beti apne dant tabhi chabati hai jab usse mujhe kutch kehna ho... Now .. common tell me..' Riddhima smiled hearing her dad knew her so well.
'Papa, Armaan..' riddhima tried to say 'Dr. Armaan...?' shashank asked
'Papa, Armaan ki family ne mujhe dinner ke liye invite kiya hai..' riddhima said finally 'Dinner ? Koi khaas baat?..' shashank asked
'Nahi, bas ayese hi..' riddhima said 'Riddhima kya tum jana chahti ho?...' Shashank asked while Riddhima was silent.
'Riddhima, Agar tum jana chahti ho tum jasakti ho, Waise Armaan acha ladka hai, Uski Family bhi achi hai...' Riddhima looked up, her smile was brightening every second. Shashank smiled. 'Thank you papa, Your the best papa in the world. Main abhi ready hokar ayi..' Riddhima said hugging her father, Her happiness knew no bound. Shashank hugged her back.. Riddhima rushed towards her room, Shashank observed Riddhima's happiness, He knew, there was more to it, It wasn't just the dinner for which Riddhima looked so happy, He guessed it might be something to do with Armaan.
'Ye Riddhima kaha jana ke liye tayar hone gayi?...' Padma came towards Shashank and stood beside him. Shashank tuned and faced Padma.
'Armaan ke ghar... Riddhima ko Armaan ki family main dinner ko invite kiye hai..' shashank said looking towards padma while smiling 'Dinner? Lekin shashank...' Padma was cut off by Shashank
'Padma, relax, Hamare bache ab baade hogaye hai.. Unhe ab pata hai ki unke liye kya sahi hai aur kya galat... Tum bilkul bhi fikar mat karo...' Shashank said holding on to Padma's shoulder while Padma nodded her head in agreeing to the fact and hugged him. 'Aap sahi keh rahe hai...' padma said smiling
*-------------*----------------*----------------*
Armaan sat in his room. recalling his talk with Tanya. He had promised Tanya he would do it for her, but Armaan didn't feel like doing it but he had to, for the sake of his friend. Armaan saw Tanya crying bitterly, he couldn't see her cry like that, after all she was his childhood friends, They had grown up together. and he knew he had to help her out and only he could do it.
Holding a guitar in his hand Armaan sat still, wondering and recalling his talk with Tanya. Armaan didn't know the consequences his decision could lead him to, Closing his eyes, Armaan tried to concentrate on the new song he was composing.
Tu hai ab jo bahoon mein
Karaar hai
Rab ka shukrana
Saanson mein hai nasha
Khumaar hai
Rab ka shukrana
Tu hi ab mera deen hai
Imaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Mera kalma hai tu
Azaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Rab ka..shukrana
Tu mila toh sab mila
Ab kisi se kya gilaa
Tujhme simtoon
Aa mein bikhroon
Teri bahoon mein
Tu mila toh sab mila
Ab kisi se kya gilaa
Tujhme simtoon
Aa mein bikhroon
Teri bahoon mein
Fanaa ho jaon main
Tu hi ab duniya meri
Jahan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Khwaabon ki khayalon ki
Udaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Rab ka shukrana
Tu hi ab mera deen hai
Imaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Mera kalma hai tu
Azaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Sab se ho jaon parey
Jo ishaara tu karey
Ab toh rehna hai
Tujhi mein gumshudaa hoon main
Sab se ho jaon parey
Jo ishaara tu karey
Ab toh rehna hai
Tujhi mein gumshudaa hoon main
Ho teri bahoon mein
Jazbon ka ab toh naya
Bayaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Naya rutbaa nayi shaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Tu hi ab mera deen hai
Imaan hai
Rab ka shukrana
Mera kalma hai tu
Azaan hai tu
Rab ka shukrana
Armaan felt at ease, Songs always made him forget all his worries and calmed him, songs always was encouraging and with a positive energy, When his cell phone rang.
*Beep Beep*
Armaan picked up the call with his angelic smile seeing Riddhima's name flashing on the screens.
'Riddhima..' he said smiling to himself 'Armaan, papa man gaye, Main shaam ko ajaongi...' riddhima said happily. Armaan's worries were forgotten at the moment and Armaan was over-joyed.
'Okay.. Riddhima amin tumhe pick karne ajaonga...' armaan said 'No No... Armaan main khud ajaongi...' riddhima said
'Par Ridhima...' but armaan was cut by riddhima 'Armaan... no par...Papa shaam ko Sanjeevani jarahe hai... Toh.. papa khud hi mujhe waha drop kar deyenge...' Riddhima beamed and cleared armaan's worries.
'Ok... jaldhi ana... Main yaha tumhara wait kar raha hu...' Armaan said excitedly while Riddhima smiled other side. 'Armaan, Mom bularahi hai, shaam ko milte hai...I love you Bye...'
'I love you too Riddhima... Riddhima...' Armaan spoke again 'Haan...' riddhima said
'Miss me...' He said naughtily while Riddhima blushed harder. Riddhima cut the call whispering a soft 'pagal'.
Armaan cut the call waiting for the evening when Rahul called him...
'Hey Rahoool..' armaan said 'Not again man, Armaan sari preparations hogayi hai, Bas last minute touch up reh gaya hai, and this place is already looking beautifull...' rahul said happily
'Thanks Rahul..' armaan said smilingly 'No formalities Armaan, Waise Riddhima bahoth khush hojayegi, Usse ye sab bahoth pasand ayega..'rahul said genuenly
'I hope the same...' Armaan said nervously, When he heard Muskaan taking the phone away from Rahul. 'Oye, Hero, Tumne hum main se kisi ko khabar tak nahi lagne diya ki tum aur Riddhima.?...'muskaan asked armaan
'Muski, I am sorry...' armaan said 'Hero, Maaf kar diya chod, proposing ka idea ko bahoth acha hai, kabhi Rahul ko bhi kuch sikhao, Isse to Biwi ko khush rakhna bhi nahi ata... Kitna unromantic hai..' Muskaan said hitting Rahul playfully.
'Acha, Maine kabhi bhi tumke khush nahi rakha ??..' rahul asked muskaan 'Kabhi mere liye red rosses laye ho?..' muskaan said
'Laya tha, par tumhe yaad rahe tab na..' rahul said 'Mujhe koi bhulne ki bimari nahi hai..' muskaan retorted back
'Oh really..' rahul asked 'Ha...' muskaan said
'Muskaan yaad karo..' rahul said 'Yaad to tab karungi na jab tum rosses laye the..' muskaan said angriky
' Laya tha...' rahul said
'Nahi..'
'Laya..'
'Nahi...'
'Ha ha Ha...'
'Nahi Nahi Nahi...'
Armaan heard their bartners of Rahul and Muskaan over the phone and laughed hard. They were surely the perfect example of Tom and Jerry. They had even forgotten that Armaan was on the line. Smiligly Armaan cut the call. Leaving the Tom-Jerry finish their fight.
Armaan took shower, He wore a Black shirt with a Cream pant. 2-3 buttons of his shirt were open revealing his slender body. Armaan glanced at the clock handing in the wall it showed 7pm.
Armaan smiled to himself, Riddhima would be there with him any moment. Armaan was missing her badly, he tried to concentrate on other works but couldn't, He smiled at himself, she was always on my mind just wanting to touch her pretty face again! feel his hand flow through her lovely hair. He could just sit and think about her and count down every minute of the day. Armaan had a dreamy smile playing around his lips.
Parag and Riya came to call Armaan downstairs, The family was having a jolly time together when they noticed Armaan smiling to himself. Both smiled broadly watching him, Riya corrected her throat, Indicating Armaan that they were there. Armaan stood up quickly.
'Riya, Parag aap log?..' armaan asked 'Common downstairs Armaan, What the hell are you doing here?..' parag said
'Um.. Yeah.. lets go...' Saying so Armaan crossed Riya and Parag and headed towards the door when Riya caught Armaan's hand 'Armaan, is everything alright?...' Riya questioned.
'Of course di... Common..' Armaan replied smiling brightly and the trio went downstairs.
*------------*------------------*------------------*
Tanya reached the Mallik Mansion along with Ricky. Stepping out from the car Tanya and ricky proceeded to walk to the Mansion. She looked at the Mansion before her and smiled. Ricky seemed to observe the Mansion for the first time. He was mesmerised by the Mansion. Tanya shook him.
'Ricky, Ricky?..' Tanya hit him angrily 'Ah... Kya hai...' Frustratedly Ricky spoke
'Tum jis kaam ke liye yaha aye ho, Usse bhulo Mat..' tanya said angrily
'Chill sweet heart, I know it very well...' ricky said smilingly
'Lets go... and lets execute our plan... (looking forward tanya spoke) Armaan here i come... to make you all mine...'
Tanya and Ricky smiled broadly to each other.
