PART 25
The day was shining in through a bedroom window. Birds were chirping their sweet unknown songs outside. With a dreamy smile Riddhima opened her eyes, She sat on the bed, still covering the duvet, Riddhima recalled about the evening spent with Armaan. She remembered the romantic dance they danced to and instantly she could feel her cheeks warming up. She felt her life was Perfect having Armaan with him. He had become the most important part of her life, her life now Belonged to him. Smilingly she rushed to the get ready, Walking down the stairs, she smelled the food. It was her favorite aloo-paratha's smell. She saw her family already having their breakfast, She was late today, biting her lower lips Riddhima sat with them.
'Good Morning Riddhima aaj late uthi?...' shashank questioned.
'Wo... Papa... pata hi nahi chala...' riddhima answered...'Okhay, koi baat nahi, waise kal ki party kaisi thi?...' he saked her
' ha ridzy, tell us did u enjoy?...' anjili asked riddhima
'Party? Um... achi thi..' riddhima said recalling the evening and her smile soon turned into blushing.
'Well, thats good, Acha padma...' he said grabbing her attention 'Ji..' padma said
'Wo, Anurag ka call aya tha, Woh jaldse jald Anjali aur Vikas ki shaadi karna chahte hai...' shashank said
'Acha, itni jaldhi...' padma asked
'Ha, Maine 3 din baad unhe lunch ke liye invite kiya hai, Hum pandit ji ko bhi us din bulalenge. Saab saath milke ter karenge...' shashank said further
'Ji, Thik hai, Anjali beta, tum khus toh ho na, es rishte se?...' padma asked anjili 'Ji, mom...' Anjali replied but she wasn't sure herself.
Anjali was happy when the marriage proposal had come to her, but now since she has been spending time with Vikas, she kinda felt little uncomfortable, She didn't know why,Neverthe less, she ignored it.
'Well, then tair raha, now hurry up, warna you two will get late...' saying that Shashank rushed to Sanjeevani.
'Riddhima, dekho tumhara fav aloo-paratha banaye hai... to zada khana padega...' Padma said .
'Mhhh, Yummy...' Riddhima whispered munching down the food.
'Ridzy mera toh hogaya, Common now, hurry up, we need to leave, warna, aaj hitler double duty de degi...' Anjali said while she rushed to her room. Riddhima gulped down her breakfast and soon both were heading towards Sanjeevani.
SANJEEVANI
The interns had less work today, and so they all did it with a beautifull smile on their faces, The duty was done and now it was evening 6pm. The interns were in locker room.
'Guyz, aaj ka din kitna acha tha na, No heavy duty, no much work load...' rahul said sitting on the bench.
'Ha, aaj toh laga hi nahi ki hum sanjeevani main duty kar rahe hai...' muskaan said
'True, the day was awesome, Kyu riddhima...' armaan said winking at her,
'Yeah...' She said and gave him The-look.
'waise ye atul kaha hai, Kutch dino se woh itna upset dikh raha hai...' Nikita stated the reality. while Anjali's eyes snapped up hearing Atul's name.
'Maybe, i have noticed it too. Pata nahi. kya hua...' abhimanyu said
'Guyz, Atul is alright, Maybe, because of the work load...' Armaan lied. 'Maybe...' rahul said
'Riddhima, mujhe tumse kutch mportant baat karni hai, come with me...' Armaan said
'Important?...' Armaan nodded his head and walked out of locker room, followed by Riddhima.
'ab inhein kya hua?...' Muskaan said confused.
'Pata nahi, sab itna weird kyu baat kar rahe hai...' Nikita said confused too. Anjali and Rahul rolled their eyes.

Armaan and Riddhima were driving back to Riddhima's Home. when Armaan parked his car near a ice-cream shop.
'Armaan, Ice-cream...' Riddhima said excitedly. Armaan smiled looking at Riddhima, She really was a kid sometimes.
'common Riddhima...' Armaan said, he soon walked towards the shop, Bought Riddhima's favorite ice-cream, while riddhima got out of the car. They stood before the car,
'Awww, thank you...' She said while both ate the ice-cream together. sometimes feeding eachother, and enjoying the cool breeze hitting them. While eating, Riddhima looked up at Armaan and started laughing hard. Armaan stopped eating and looked up at her.
'Riddhima, kya hua..' he said wondering whats wrong. Riddhima poined her finger to him and started laughing more.
'Ar... Armaan... Wo.. Hahah...' she was still laughing. 'Kya, Riddhima bolo to...' He asked innocently.
' Armaan, tumhare nose main, Ice-cream lagi hue hai... hahaha...' Riddhima laughed her heart out. 'Ice-cream...' saying so armaan wiped his lips.
'Waha nahi, yaha...' she said pointing to the tip of his nose. All of a sudden Riddhima felt armaan pulling her towards himself by her waist. Riddhima stopped laughing and Looked up at him. 'Armaan...' riddhima said gaping
'Bahoth maza araha tha nahi..' he said teasing her. 'Armaan, kya kar rahe ho... chodo...' Riddhima said trying to get out of his hold.
' Nahi, aur haso...' Armaan pounted. ' Acha baba, Sorry, Abhi toh chodo... Armaan please..' riddhima said
'No... remove this ice-cream...' he said pointing to his nose. Riddhima smiled at him and she took hold of her Dupatta to clean it when Armaan, held her hand, stopping her from doing it. Riddhima raised her eye-brows asking him. 'Nah... first kiss me...' He said now grinning, looking at Riddhima's flushed face.
'what? Kiss?...' Riddhima was shocked. 'Ha, kiss me here...' he said pointing to his nose.
Armaan grinned like a 5 year old when Riddhima blushed harder. Riddhima looked down, blusing when Armaan raised her face, to look at him. The looked at eachother. and it seemed the time had stopped for the both of them.
'I know Riddhima i am Irresistible but, oh Common Riddhima, kiss me...' he said winking at her. 'Armaan..' she hit him playfully.
'Acha, Kiss me and I will stop embarassing you...' armaan said grinning . 'Armaan, please...' Riddhima pleaded.
Riddhima pleaded him while Armaan shook his head. Riddhima slowly closed Armaan's eyes with her left hand and came towards him. Armaan smiled and his hold on Riddhima's waist was more firm. Blusingly Riddhima Kissed armaan's nose, sucking the ice-cream. Armaan's smiled was soon wider and he smiled at it. Armaan opened his eyes to look at Riddhima who was blusing.
'Oye hoye...' he said smiling. Armaan placed his finger softly on her lips allowing it to linger, tracing it from the lower lip to her upper lips and then gently stroaking her cheeks. Riddhima felt herself shiver as she felt his slight touch on her lips, Riddhima closed her eyes with his touch. She shuddered as his lips brushed against her skin.The sweet sensation that the touch of his lips initiated was replaced by a feather light kiss. Armaan kissed her cheeks. Opening her eyes, Riddhima came closer to Armaan, raised her both hands and held his shoulders, causing to look up momentarily.
'I love you Armaan ...' she whispered softly . 'I love you too Riddhima...' Armaan responded with his now visible Million Dollar Smile. Armaan cupped her face in his, he thumbed away Riddhima's hairs flicks, which was blocking him from looking at her as Riddhima looked straight into his eyes. He buried his head into the thick locks of her hair as he pulled her into a tight embrace. Feeling his arms around her Riddhima closed her eyes as she rested her head on his shoulder. 'I love you so much Riddhima' he whispered yet again. Feeling her arms around his waist and her head on his shoulder, he smiled.
The slightly cool breeze flowing through the night added to the shivers that ran through her. Feeling goose bumps rising slightly on her skin, Armaan smiled deeply as he held her still. She lowered her eyes as he took hold of her hand, Armaan interlocked his fingers with hers. Riddhima held Armaan closer to herself, Not letting him leave her.
'Riddhima come closer...' he whispered near her ears.
Smilingly Riddhima stood on tiptoes knowing very well of what's next. Armaan's smile became wider seeing Riddhima's little antics. and he was soon grinning. His arms slowly curled up behind her pulling her into himself, pulling her closer. He kissed the top of her forehead and chuckled,Armaan felt strangely at peace. He parted a little from Riddhima and looked into her Beautiful eyes, and then bent down to claim her lips into a passionate kiss. A real kiss that expressed as well as fulfilled desires. It started as a gentle kiss but soon warmed into a passionate one, expressing their feelings more than words ever could. Armaan picked her off the ground, not breaking the kiss, depening the kiss. Their love for each other, the desire, the need the love. A passionate kiss which expressed unspoken words, which was the new beginning , Beginning of a new life, A life filled with lots of love, expressing their feelings more than words ever could.
When both were breathless, they both parted their lips, to breath. Armaan made her stand on the ground.Riddhima had the curvy blush on her cheeks while Armaan loved seeing Riddhima blushing. She looked adorable and cute when she did that. Riddhima frowned sooner when she felt armaan carrying her off guard in his arms, He rotated her in his Arms, Riddhima held Armaan tight, not wanting to fall. rotating her in his arms Armaan screamed loudly expressing his unconditional love for Riddhima.
'I love you Riddhima, I love you, Riddhima...' armaan said twirrling her around
'Armaan, Please let me down...' Riddhima yelled back.Armaan carried her towards the car, opening the door he made her sit. Sitting on the driving seat, Armaan started the car...
On the way back home, Riddhima started the conversation.
'Armaan, you know, Armaan Di aud Vikas ki jaldhi shaadi karwa denge...' She said
'Oh... Riddhima...' armaan said 'Hmm...' riddhima replied
'ek baat puchu...' he said. He knew he had to tell Riddhima about Atul's feeling for Anjali but he didn't know how.
'ha pucho Armaan...' riddhima said 'Riddhima... Kya... Kya anjali is shaadi she khush hai? I mean.. is she really happy?...' Armaan said while Riddhima was taken aback with his question.
'Armaan, yeh tum kya bol rahe ho?...' riddhima asked 'Riddhima, Its me who is asking.. Toh reply me first...' armaan said
' Anjali di toh khush hi hai, she likes Vikas armaan...' riddhima said 'Oh...' Thats all Armaan could tell.
'waise armaan... Kya hua?...' She asked him, 'Um... Nothing Riddhima bas ayese hi pucha..' Armaan avoided her question. Riddhima frowned seeing him react that way.
'Armaan, Look here...' Armaan turned and faced her. Looking at Armaan, Riddhima instantly knew something was wrong.
'Armaan, tell me what is it..' she said plainly.Armaan was suprised to hear this, he knew Riddhima would know it all, but she was more quick than he thought. 'Armaan, please... Tell me...' she requested him.
Armaan stopped his car infront of Riddhima's house, and prepared himself, He had to tell Riddhima about it. Before its too late. He knew it might be difficult for Riddhima to accept the fact but he couldn't hide it from her too...
'Riddhima..' he started. Riddhima saw Armaan getting nervous and held his left hand. Assuring him that she was with him. 'Say it...' riddhima probed him
'Riddhima... Atul... Atul loves...' Armaan stopped.
'Atul?...' Armaan nodded his head. Riddhima was shocked hearning this. Riddhima picked up the meaning behind it. 'Atul Di se...?...' she left the sentence half. when Armaan looked at Riddhima and Nodded once again.
'Par, kabse..?...' riddhima asked still in shocked 'I do not know much Riddhima, lekin, Atul loves anjali...' armaan said
'Kya di ko pata hai? ki Atul?...' Riddhima asked Armaan while Armaan shook his head in disagreement.
'Anjali ko kuch bhi nahi pata hai, Aur Riddhima hum bhi Anjy ko kuch nahi batayenge, Woh Vikas ke saath khush hai...' armaan said. Riddhima took time to digest the news, it was new to her, she never knew Atul loved Anjali, She has also noticed Atul's behaviour, he looked so sad and pale.Riddhima's eyes were welling up, Armaan noticed it and Hugged her tight. He stroked her back, calming her down...
'Riddhima, Shh.. Don't...' armaan said calming her down 'Armaan..' she wispered hugging him back tight.
'no Riddhima, don't cry, i can tolerate anything but not your tears. please stop...' He said being upset. Riddhima instantly wiped her tears, She came out of the hug, wiping her cheeks, she gave a weak smile to Armaan. Armaan smiled at her. He came forward and kissed her forehead. cupping her face in his palm he said.
'Riddhima Listen, Anjali ko is bare main nahi pata lagna chahiye, she might feel bad...' He made her understand while Riddhima nodded her head.
'Di ko kuch nahi pata chalega Armaan, Par Atul, wo thik to hai na?..' She asked all worried for her dear friend. 'Atul is hurt, but very soon he will be okay. Hum sab hai na Atul ke saath. Life moves on isn't it...' Armaan said looking straight into Riddhima's eyes, Riddhima nodded her head in agreement.
'Hmm, Good night Armaan...' riddhima said 'Good night Riddhima...' And in a swift moment Riddhima kissed Armaan on his cheeks, and before Armaan could react Riddhima got out of the car, Banged the door hard.. Armaan smiled seeing her and gave a flying kiss which riddhima accepted gladly, Blushingly she went inside Gupta house. Armaan drove off smiling...
