Sabki kitni din se aajke liyeh plan banaya... Aur mujhe last minute main cancel karna pada...do Hell with it...' Armaan hit the guitar furiously...
After sometimes playing with the strings as something was wrong with the sounds, he test it was back right or not... As he felt it was good, he started to play a tune... It was a tune that he heard Piya humming one day as she was in her room... From that time, Armaan had attach to that tune and he heard Piya singing one day and Rahul asking about the song...

Yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Yaara rab se pehle hai tu...
Jaane dil mein kab se hai tu
Jab se main hoon tab se hai tu
Mujhko mere rab ki kasam
Yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Jaane dil mein kab se hai tu
Jab se main hoon tab se hai tu
Mujhko mere rab ki kasam
Yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Haan yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Raahein chale na chale chalte hai yeh raaste
Aao chalo rut goon raaste mein kis waaste
Mein to khadi hoon yahin yaar mila jab se hai tu
Jaane dil mein kab se hai tu
Jab se main hoon tab se hai tu
Mujhko mere rab ki kasam
Yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Haan yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Naadaan ho jaate hai anjaan ho jaate hain
Ek dusre pe chalo qurbaan ho jaate hai
Tu hai jahan main wahan mujhko pyaara sab se hai tu
Jaane dil mein kab se hai tu
Jab se main hoon tab se hai tu
Mujhko mere rab ki kasam
Yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Jaane dil mein kab se hai tu
Jab se main hoon tab se hai tu
Mujhko mere rab ki kasam
Yaara rab se pehle hai tu
Haan yaara rab se pehle hai tu'
'Clap!!! Clap!!! Clap!!!' Armaan open his eyes to see a girl not too younger to him standing clapping and she was giving a beautiful smile to him...
Every girl go gaga seeing him and Armaan just stood looking at her as it was the first time he have seen her...
Girl came forward and Armaan just keep staring at her...
'U r awesome Armaan...' She said as she stood in front of him...
Armaan was surprise to know she knew his name as he don't know her or never met before...
Seeing Armaan standing like a statue lost in her, she wave her hand in front of his eyes which brings him back to reality...
'Huh...' Armaan said seeing she waves her hand in front of his eyes...
'When someone compliment, thank you bolke shurkriya toh adha kar sakte haina...' She said smiling cutely...
'Oh Thanks...' Armaan said...

It was the beginning of their friendship and he don't know which make that they had to take another step ahead giving their friendship another name...
GUPTA HOUSE
Riddhima was in her room blabbering to herself why Nikki was after her life...
It would happen anyone if seeing a handsome guy suddenly come in front of her from nowhere...
Riddhima was putting her stuff back to on its places as she clean her room...
'Samajhti kiya hai Niks...
Main aise ladki tohdi na hoon kissi bhi ladke ke peeche bhaagte rahungi...
Main jaanti hoon main yaha kyun aaye hoon aur kis liyeh...' Riddhima keeps collecting some books when a family photo fall from it...
Riddhima took it and without giving a look was about to put it back in to the book when her eyes caught that face...
How much she hates that face...
Riddhima drop the book on the floor as she tear it separating the person out from that picture...
'U don't deserve to me in our family...
Errr... I just so hate u... I don't know what Dad has seen in u that he thinks u r the perfect guy for me...
Perfect... My foot...
U don't even deserve to be under my feet...' Riddhima said as she make piece's of the his picture...
'I will never forgive for trying forcing urself on me...' Riddhima said as she was boiling with anger...
FLASH BACK START (RIDDHIMA POV)
I was waiting for my father's business partner son from god knows how many hours...
He was to meet me at 4pm but now it was 8pm... For hours and every time I call, he keeps saying he will reach soon...
I had enough of his behavior so without waiting for another hour, I took up paying for four cups of coffee I had while waiting this bustard...
Yes, u heard me right... I just call him bustard because I don't even want to see his face...
Which is filled with god knows what he was up to in his life...
First time dad bring him home to meet us, the way he was eyeing me, I didn't like...
No girl will like a stranger to eye her like that as much as they have freedom, we girls too have our own freedom to wear anything that make us comfortable...
But that doesn't mean other can look with dirty eyes...
I was no ready to meet him anywhere alone but I just wanted to make clear things as I know Dad was thinking to bring us together knoting in a relation which I don't wanna think for the coming three years at least...
But, it was enough for me...
So I left the cafe but bumped to him who was coming inside with hurry...
'So so sorry Ridzy...' He said but I cut him...
'Its only Riddhima for u Mr. Siddhant Modi...
And ur sorry is not accepted and I m leaving...' I said as I push him who was holding my hand as I was about to lost my balance...
Seeing my angry face, maybe he understood that today I will not listen to any of his sugary excuses...
Giving him a long angry glare, I move but he holds my arm...
I look at his hand, which was holding my arm, and look at him asking him to leave my hand...
But he just moves pushing in front seat of his car and taking the driver seat he zoom off...
After driving for like 10mins, he stops the car in front of his house...
I got out from the car and make my way to go out from the gate but he got hold of me again dragging me inside...
No one was there to see as I keep hitting him shouting to leave me...
He took me to his room and push me on to the bed...
I was hell shocked to see what he was doing as he started to unbutton his shirt...
'How dare u Siddhant...' I shouted but I don't think any of my shouts were affecting of him...
'Yes I dare Riddhima...
I try acting nice with u and what u gives me... That attitude...' Siddhant said...
I stood up as he face me but I don't want to stand there for another second... Not wanting to see his face, I move towards the door but he pull me pushing me against the door as he move dangerously close to me...
Then only I realized he was drunk... I turn my face as he moves his face towards me...
He smelled yuck and his red eyes were staring at my body with dirty look... I felt scared seeing him getting so closed so I try to move but he trap me in between his hands as he put his hands on sideway...
'Aise kaise itni aasaani se tumhe jaane de sakta hoon...' Siddhant says as he started to touch her arm with his one finger...
I closed my eyes shutting it tight as I felt disgust when his finger started to move in my bare arms... I close my fist not wanting to touch him...
'Dur raho Siddhant... U r drunk...' I said still with my eyes close...
'So what if I m drunk Riddhima...
Tumhe dekh ke toh koi bhi chaahenge ek baar... Bas ek baar tumhe apni baahon main leke na mann karta hai...
tumhe apna banane ka...' Siddhant bend towards me and I don't know how I got the strength to push him who fell on the floor...
Taking the opportunity, I left from there running as fast as I can, not looking back as I heard Siddhant calling my name...
Tears were falling from my eyes to my cheeks but I didn't dare to stop... I run out from the house, gate and to the main road... I got a cab and soon I reach home...
As I enter, I saw Dad in a call talking with someone... Seeing me, he cut the call and I move towards him to tell him how Siddhant behave with me...
'How dare u not meet with Siddhant Riddhima... Woh bechara kabse tumhari wait kar raha hai...
Kaha ti tum itni der tak...' Dad shouted and I was rooted on the spot...
Hearing the shout, Mom came running from her room seeing my situation, she move close to me putting her hand around my shoulder supporting me...
Tears were continuously falling from my eyes as I heard my dad blaming me for not meeting Siddhant... But he was unaware of the truth that I was with Siddhant and just run away from him as he tries to force himself on me...
'Dekho is ladki koh Padma...
Siddhant waha...' Dad started but I have enough for a day...
'I met him Dad...' I shouted too...
'Accha... If u have met with him, why then he just call and say u haven't shown up yet...' Dad shot back...
'Kyunki woh jhoot bol raha hai... Woh dokhebaaz hai... Woh bohot ghatiya aadmi hai...
usne aapki beti k saat zabardasti karne ki koshish ki...' I scream while falling on my knee...
Silent took over the place as I kept crying my heart out and Mom was sitting beside me crying and caring my back to calm me down...
'Tum issiliyeh yeh sab keh rahi ho na kyunki tumhe use shaadi nehi karni...' Dad said...
'Haan Mujhe use shaadi nehi karni...
Aise aadmi se shaadi karne toh accha hai main marjaun...
Dad, aap kyun nehi dekhte woh mujhe kaise nazar se dekhta hai...
Uski niyat tik nehi hai Dad...
Mujhe woh bilkul pasand nehi hai...' I said...
'Tumhe pasand ho ya na ho... Maine decide karliya hai ki tum Siddhant se shaadi karogi...' Dad shouted again...
'Shashank, aap kyun use zabardasti se aise rishte main baadna chaahte ho jis rishte main woh khush nehi reh sakte... Aapko ho kiya gaya hai Shashank...' For the first time Mom said something on my depend that night...
I didn't want my parents to fight with each other because of me... But I was glad to know Mom was siding me and understanding what I need...
'Kyunki apne bacche ke liyeh accha sochna mera zimmedaari hai...
Aur Riddhima ke liyeh Siddhant se accha koi nehi mil sakta...' Dad said...
'Shashank, aap kyun yeh bhul rahe ho Riddhima abhi apne carrier koh dyan dena chaahte hai...
Woh apne proffessional pe dyan dena chaahte hai...' Mom says...
'Haan toh shaadi ki baad bhi Riddhima kaam kar sakte hai...
Siddhant tohdi na use kaam karne se mana karne wala hai... bas shaadi karlo...' Dad said...
'Shaadi ki baad ladki ke liyeh ek aur zimmedaari aajate hai...
Jiske liyeh abhi Riddhima ready nehi hai...' Mom said...
'Haan toh, aaj ya kal shaadi toh karna hi haina... Bas maine kehdiya na...
Riddhima Siddhant se shaadi karenge...' Dad said...
I had enough of their argument... I was sitting there listening Mom trying to depend me and trying to put some sense on his head... But being stubborn person, Dad didn't even try to understand what I want and what my happiness is in...
'Enoughhh...' I shouted hiding my ears with my hands...
Mom and Dad stop arguing... I stood up and face Dad knowing if I want to do something for myself, I need to stand for myself...
'Jaanti hoon aaplog ki wajahse main in dhuniya main aayi hoon...
Yeh bhi jaanta hoon aap log meri khushi ke liyeh lad rahe ho...
Lekin Dad, Kiya aap ek baar bhi yeh sochna meri khushi kis main hai...
Nehi, aapko sirf aapse matlab hai...
Aaj tak maine kabhi aapke koi baat pe lakh nehi maara Dad... Lekin aap kuch bhi kahe, main is shaadi koh haan nehi kar sakte na karungi... Kyun na mujhe yeh ghar chodna na pade...' I said and left from there shutting myself in room...
I was sitting near the door crying my heart out... Mom try to get inside but I just ignore her as I don't want anyone to see me in that condition...
I know what I have to do, I just dial the one who I know will do anything for me... My childhood friend who had been saying to shift our living to Mumbai as we can easily get job in Mumbai because of our good experience and achievements...
She was right, it took a week to complete all formalities and in two weeks we shifted to Mumbai moving in with my sister and cousin...
FLASH BACK END
'Us kamine ki wajahse mujhe apne Mom koh waha chodke aana pada...
Jaise bhi Dad ne mere saat behave kiya, I can't hate him for long... But I can never forgive him for pressuring to marry Siddhant...' Riddhima thought...
By now Riddhima was sitting on the bed looking at the rest of the picture...
She was missing her mom, mother touch of her... Just because of Siddhant, she move out from the house she was raise and brought up...
'Kitna kamina hai yeh Siddhant...
Isse toh accha Armaan hai... Kaise ladkiyon se izzat se baat karta hai...
Haan tohda flirting ki usne Niks ki saat but Niks bhi toh uske saat flirting kar rahi ti...' Riddhima thought...
Just then she realized what she was doing... She was comparing Armaan with Siddhant...
'Am I really???? Am I really Jealous with the fact that Armaan flirts with Niks...???
Argghhh... Why on earth I was thinking about Armaan for the first thing...???
Am I getting mad or crazy...???
No, its nothing like that... Just because Niks put those none sense in my brain, I m thinking about Armaan all the time...
Haan, isliyeh yeh sab ho raha hai... Yeh sabki wajah Niks hai...
I better sleep... Nehi toh main paagal hojaungi...' Riddhima said to herself as she hide under the comforter shutting her eyes tight trying to close her brain so that no more things come in her mind...
