'Main bhi...' pari said in her sleepy tone, rubbing her eyes, in Riya's arms... Armaan kissed Pari's cheek and rushed towards the exit...

Riddhima came out of the washroom, wearing a golden and maroon lehenga, She had worn matching jewellery sent by the Oberior's. She proceeded and sat on the chair, The girls started to dress her up, Riddhima kept looking at her reflection in the mirror... She kept glancing at the clock every now and then, it showed 7pm, Riddhima seemed restless in passing time... She was just praying to god, requesting him to send her Armaan sooner..
'Ridzy, Wow, You look so gorgeous..' Anjali spoke looking at Riddhima. 'Yeah.. bahot khubsoorath lag rahi ho Riddhima..' nikki said. 'Kahi Riddhima ko mere hi nazar na lag jaye,...' Padma spoke and applied a kala teeka behind Riddhima's ears..Riddhima looked up at them and smiled a little..
*---------*-----------------------*-----------*
The guest seemed to be arriving at the Gupta house, Shashank and Padma stood near the entrace welcoming each and every guest personally, The interns were taking care of every guest's need. The Oberior's were grandly welcomed by the Gupta's along with the interns... The oberior's walked inside the house... Both the families huged each other, Anjali took blessing from the oberior's. The Oberior sons took the Gupta's blessing...Everyone gathered themselves in the hall... Vikas and Anjali smiled seeing each other,Vikas signalled Anjali while Anjali blushed a little.. Atul noticed that and looked upset... while Vivek kept looking for Riddhima in excitement.
'Padma, Hamari hone wali bahu kaha hai...??...' aparna asked. 'Ji.. Riddhima bas abhi ati hi hogi... Anjali jao beta Riddhima ko lekar aoo...' Padma spoke... Anjali, Muskaan, Nikita and sapna all rushed towards Riddhima's room...
In 5 min...
Riddhima walked down the stairs with the interns, Everyone gathered around in the hall seemed very happy watching Riddhima, She looked very beautiful, Vivek seemed to be mesmerised by Riddhima's beauty, He started at her... The gupta's looked at her and looked proud of Riddhima, The Oberior's were very happy, They smiled seeing her...Riddhima was nervously walking, Her eyes were fixed on the door, waiting for Armaan to appear before them any time and stop the engagement, wishing for the same Riddhima came and stood beside Vivek...
'Dekho toh zara, kitne achi jodi hai dono ki...' Anurag spoke watching Vivek anf Riddhima... 'Ring ceremony shuru kare...' Shashank spoke happily...
Aparna gave the engagement ring to Vivek, Smilingly he took it and looked at Riddhima...Anjali gave the ring to Riddhima, Riddhima didn't take it... her hands never raised to take the ring...
'Riddhima beta, Ring lo..' Shashank spoke... Riddhima seemed to not hear her dad...
'Rukh jaeye...' A voice ecoed in the hall, Everybody present there looked confused hearing the voice, but Riddhima heaved a sigh of relief hearing the voice, Her face glowed hearing him...

PART 41
Riddhima's head felt light and her sight was becoming fuzzy. The room around her had lost its brightness and was dark around his body. Everything around her was gone,...Reaching her hand out she gazed her fingers against his right arm, they didn't fall through the air, they brushed across his fair soft skin. Looking up at him she felt melted, Armaan was here, with her. Like a surge of electricity flowed through her, She felt shiver running down her spine... She rested her cheek on his shoulder. "Armaan was with me right then, in my arms" She acknowledge, smiling at her own thoughts... like the feel of his arms around her torso and his hands resting on her back weren't enough. Like the warmth venting from his body wasn't proof he was here. For some reason, she felt like she had to say it aloud for it be true. But she didn't, because he was there, for her...
*Beep Beep*
Their eyelock was broken by the sound of Armaan's cell phone... Armaan looked at the caller and picked up the call immediately...
'Hello, ha... kya... Oh my god... Main abhi araha hu..' Armaan spoke and kept the call instantly...While talking, Riddhima sensed someting wrong, she could see the turn of expressions on his face. 'Riddhima...' Armaan spoke while he cupped her face and looked at her eyes...'armaan...' she spoke gently. 'Riddhima.. Ek emergency hai...'Armaan declared. 'Emergency?..' riddhima asked confused. 'Ha Riddhima, Sanjeevani se call aya tha, Accident case hai... and i have to assist Dr.Keerthi... I need to rush now...' Armaan spoke while he corrected his clothes, and keeping his wallet in his pocket... Riddhima was little shocked...
'Riddhima main thodhi der main tumse milunga.. ok... I love you...' He spoke and kissed Riddhima's forehead... Armaan and Riddhima smiled at each other... and in an instant Armaan was rushing towards the balcony door. 'Armaan...' She spoke nervously and silenced herself. when she realised something more...Armaan walked a little further but hearing Riddhima's chocking voice he stopped, Turning around he noticed Riddhima sad... Armaan rushed towards her.. 'Riddhima, Kya hua.. Tum...' He spoke holding Riddhima's arms.. 'Vivek...' she blurred...she blurred looking down... Armaan was dumb folded too...
Armaan seemed shocked too... just like Riddhima... He stared at her when a long tear escaped from Riddhima's eyes and flowed to her cheeks... After all these moments, She seemed to have finally realised in what sitaution they were in... She surely had accepted to marry Vivek.. but that was purely due to the emotional trauma she was going through... Armaan noticed Riddhima panicking and held her through her shoulder, Supporting her... Now, they seemed to notice the seriousness in the situation...
'Armaan hum hamari khushi main, Vivek aur... aur meri engagement ke baare main bhool hi gaye..' Riddhima said in chocking voice... While Armaan was shocked as well... Armaan ran his free hand over his hairs deciding on what to do. 'Riddhima...' he spoke calming her.. Riddhima seemed to be more tensed... She was panicking all the very more...
'Armaan... Main.. main Vivek se engagement nahi kar sakti.. Armaan hum ab kya kare... Armaan main engagement nahi kar sakti...' Riddhima spoke while her tears flowed frrely on her cheeks... It was someting which was bothering her so much.. 'Riddhima...'he spoke and looked deep into her eyes... Riddhima looked at him her eyes flowing tears.. 'Riddhima, tum Vivek se koi engagement nahi karogi.. Ok... dekho.. main bas thodi der main wapas ajaonga... fir hum sab sab ko sachai batadenge... Ok...' 'Par... Armaan.. main tumse dubara alag nahi hona chahti, Armaan agar sab ne mana kar di toh... Armaan..' 'Riddhima, Dekho, ayesa kuch bhi nahi hoga.. ok... Main hu tumhare saath... Haan.. aur hum sab ko aaj hi sachai bata denge... Fir.. sab ko hamare is rishte ke bare main pata chal jayega...' Armaan cut her off and spoke..
'Armaan... Kya sab hamare rishte ko man lenge... Papa, mamma?? Nani??...' Riddhima spoke worried. 'Riddhima... look at me.. Tumhe mujh par vishwaas hai na...' He asked gently.. 'Iss duniya main sabse zada...' 'Toh, bas... mere aane tak ka intezaar karo, hum sab ko aaj hi sari sachai bata denge.. aur fir hum hamesha ke liye ek hojayenge...' He spoke cupping her face in his palm... Riddhima nodded her head in agreement... Armaan kissed her cheeks and he turned to go... 'Armaan... Can i get a hug...' She said, holding his arm and speaking very innocently looking at Armaan...
Surprised that Armaan already was due to the sweetest demand of Riddhima's, without hesitation, Armaan reluctantly put his arm around Riddhima's shoulder, with his arms wide open, closing in. Then planted her head on his chest as swiftly.There, in that moment, Riddhima could sense nothing but the comfort and warmth Armaan offered with his strong, masculine frame. Riddhima layed her head against his warm, hard chest and breathed in his smell. The world around her melted away as she squeezed him back, not wanting the moment to end. Riddhima and Armaan both relived their past memories in the comfort of each others arms, reflecting on the memories they spent with each other...She felt safe in his strong arms and when he let go, she knew that the only place she wanted to be, was with him. The scent of downy lingered even after she reluctantly let go...
'Main bas thodi der main hi aya... Ok...' Armaan spoke softly... 'Hhmm.. please jaldhi ana Armaan..' Riddhima said staring at him deep eyes.. 'Main bas yu gaya aur yu aya... Ok... I love you ...' Armaan whispered and Riddhima nodded her head in agreement... Armaan kissed Riddhima once again and turned to go... Riddhima looked at his retreating back when Armaan turned and gave her a flying kiss.. Riddhima smiled and blushed at his gesture, Armaan smiled watching her, he knew Riddhima was relaxed now... While Riddhima waved her hands from the balcony smiling to him... Riddhima entered inside her room and noticed it was 10am...

The house was grandly decorated with beautifull flowers handing from the cealing to the ground, supported by the wall, with sparking lights all over.. Colourful lights added look to the house, The Outside of the house was surrounded by decorated jars with tea lights dangling from branches, on the seats, and in a circle around the area. making the place as elegant as possible...
'Woh, lights aur cover kijiye, completely,...' Shashank said asking the workers to follow is demand.. 'Dad, woh decorations kafi hai na...'

He took out his cellphone to call Riddhima when he noticed his cell was switched off , there was no battery left... Getting off from his car,Armaan proceeded to walk towards his house in hurry, Keeping his car keys on the table, he ran towards the hall.. Watching Billy sitting on the sofa, drinking hot streeamy coffee while he read newspaper from his another hand, Armaan smiled and walked towards him,
'Dad..' Armaan spoke restlessly. 'Hey Armaan,...' Billy smiled at him and took a sip of coffee as he glanced at the head lines on the news paper.. 'Dad, i need to talk to you... Its important..'

Woh...Yeh sab Tanya ki plan thi dad...' and soon played the recorded video, in which Tanya herself had confessed her fault...Armaan told everything that happened on that fatefull day, how she lied him, How she asked him to help, How Armaan helped her, How Riddhima heard the news, Riddhima's accident, Armaan and Riddhima's seperation, How Riddhima agreed to marry Vivek, Then how he got to know the truth, Armaan blurred out everything in front of them, shocking them, while smeeta eye's welled up hearing the pain and seperation Armaan and Riddhima went through...
*---------*-----------------------*-----------*
Riddhima took a warm shower and sat in front of the mirror, drying her long beautiful hairs, while her mind was wandering... It was already 5pm now.. and There was no trace of Armaan... Neither Armaan called nor he messaged her... Armaan's cell phone was switched off...Riddhima was lost, Scared, she was thinking what might really happen today, She was wonderning, how would her family reach to Armaan and Riddhima's relationship, She didn't know what might happen today, she had to break the engagement, The Gupta's and the Oberior's friendship shared a long friendship and today their friendship was at risk too, She didn't know how would the Oberior's would most probably react... she was too nervous and scared... Riddhima looks at the wall clock it showed and fumbles...
'Armaan ka koi bhi call ya message nahi aya, Armaan kaha ho tum...' She whispered to herself, dialling his number for the nth time.. But there was no response, which worried her all the very more.. 'Riddhima beta, tum uth gayi, chalo ab jaldhi chalo aur kuch kha lo, Fir thodi der main tumhe sagaai ke liye tayyar bhi hona hai...' Padma spoke while she kept some more jewellery on Riddhima's bed...
Padma looked back at Riddhima, who seemed unaware of her presence... Smiligly Padma came towards Riddhima and kept both her hands on Riddhima's both shoulder. Riddhima instantly looked up.. 'Riddhima, kaha khoyi hue ho?..' Padma spoke smiling. 'Maa, Um... kuch nahi... main bas ayese hi...' Riddhima blurred. 'acha beta, Chalo yeh ladkiyaan agayi hai..tum tayyar hojaoo...' 'Ji...' Riddhima spoke and went towards the wash room...!!!
Closing the door behind, Riddhima closed her eyes, "Armaan jaldhi ajao" She spoke...She wanted Armaan to be with her, She didn't wanted to get engaged to Vivek, Tear's welled up in her eyes, she was getting nervous every second...
*---------*-----------------------*-----------*

'Ha, mom, lekin ab mere aur Riddhima ke beech sab thik hai...' Armaan consoled her.. 'Armaan, Ab Riddhima ki engagement kaise rokoge tum??...' 'Dad, main Riddhima ke ghar jakar sab ko sara sachai bata dunga...' Armaan declared.

'Aur tumhe lagta hai Woh thik rahega?...' Riya spoke While Armaan stared at her.. 'I mean, Its her engagement today bro, How can u just stop it?...' Riya defended. 'Di, I have no choice, Aur main..Riddhima ki engagement nahi hone de sakta, I love her...' Armaan spoke and started walking towards the exit. 'Armaan...' She called.. Armaan stopped walking and turned towards his mother... Smeeta walked towards Armaan and kissed his forehead. 'Jao, Main tumhare saath hu..' Smeeta spoke smiling... Armaan smiled hearing his understanding mother.. 'Aur main bhi...' Billy spoke and walked towards Armaan.. 'Hum bhi...' Riya/Parag/Varun... all spoke happily... Armaan's smiled was never leaving his face..
'Main bhi...' pari said in her sleepy tone, rubbing her eyes, in Riya's arms... Armaan kissed Pari's cheek and rushed towards the exit...

Riddhima came out of the washroom, wearing a golden and maroon lehenga, She had worn matching jewellery sent by the Oberior's. She proceeded and sat on the chair, The girls started to dress her up, Riddhima kept looking at her reflection in the mirror... She kept glancing at the clock every now and then, it showed 7pm, Riddhima seemed restless in passing time... She was just praying to god, requesting him to send her Armaan sooner..
'Ridzy, Wow, You look so gorgeous..' Anjali spoke looking at Riddhima. 'Yeah.. bahot khubsoorath lag rahi ho Riddhima..' nikki said. 'Kahi Riddhima ko mere hi nazar na lag jaye,...' Padma spoke and applied a kala teeka behind Riddhima's ears..Riddhima looked up at them and smiled a little..
*---------*-----------------------*-----------*
The guest seemed to be arriving at the Gupta house, Shashank and Padma stood near the entrace welcoming each and every guest personally, The interns were taking care of every guest's need. The Oberior's were grandly welcomed by the Gupta's along with the interns... The oberior's walked inside the house... Both the families huged each other, Anjali took blessing from the oberior's. The Oberior sons took the Gupta's blessing...Everyone gathered themselves in the hall... Vikas and Anjali smiled seeing each other,Vikas signalled Anjali while Anjali blushed a little.. Atul noticed that and looked upset... while Vivek kept looking for Riddhima in excitement.
'Padma, Hamari hone wali bahu kaha hai...??...' aparna asked. 'Ji.. Riddhima bas abhi ati hi hogi... Anjali jao beta Riddhima ko lekar aoo...' Padma spoke... Anjali, Muskaan, Nikita and sapna all rushed towards Riddhima's room...
In 5 min...
Riddhima walked down the stairs with the interns, Everyone gathered around in the hall seemed very happy watching Riddhima, She looked very beautiful, Vivek seemed to be mesmerised by Riddhima's beauty, He started at her... The gupta's looked at her and looked proud of Riddhima, The Oberior's were very happy, They smiled seeing her...Riddhima was nervously walking, Her eyes were fixed on the door, waiting for Armaan to appear before them any time and stop the engagement, wishing for the same Riddhima came and stood beside Vivek...
'Dekho toh zara, kitne achi jodi hai dono ki...' Anurag spoke watching Vivek anf Riddhima... 'Ring ceremony shuru kare...' Shashank spoke happily...
Aparna gave the engagement ring to Vivek, Smilingly he took it and looked at Riddhima...Anjali gave the ring to Riddhima, Riddhima didn't take it... her hands never raised to take the ring...
'Riddhima beta, Ring lo..' Shashank spoke... Riddhima seemed to not hear her dad...
'Rukh jaeye...' A voice ecoed in the hall, Everybody present there looked confused hearing the voice, but Riddhima heaved a sigh of relief hearing the voice, Her face glowed hearing him...
