AR OS and drabble gallery: New SS-THE CURSE : PART 2 UPDATED-PMs LATER - Page 75

"Baby... look here na please. Main kya karu meeting chodke nahi aa paaya aur fir traffic bhi bohot tha."
He tried to kiss her puffed cheek but she turned her face making him smile at her cute face.

"Kam se kam tum toh maan jao yaar, varna mera kya hoga? Pleashhh... I love you na!"
She looked up with her big round eyes and a pout on her lips as he held his ears. With a long stare she blinked her big innocent eyes at him twice as if judging him but shook her head and got back to the task in her hand. He pouted in defeat and looked at the door of his room that was still closed. That's when he remembered something and smiled wide. Turning away he slumped his shoulders;
"Theek hai agar kisiko bhi mujhse baat hi nahi karni toh I'll go then. Noboby loves me. Bunny... I don't think anybody wants you either."
He sighed placing it on the couch beside her and started to walk away knowing pretty well she watched him silently through the corner of her eyes. After some moments of silence she turned around slowly and found a tiny crochet rabbit. She bowed her head almost bending her body down to look at it's tiny black eyes as they shone.

The bribe was tooo cute to ignore and a smile knocked on her lips which turned wider and wider ultimately turning into a hearty giggle. And just as she was about to touch it she startled by a sudden hug;
"Gotcha!!..."

He planted sloppy kisses all over her tiny face as he picked her up and tried to hide in his chest feeling tickly. She burst into endless giggles unable to be upset anymore. Aria Armaan Mallik, cute, adorable, an apple of everyone's eye and especially the princess of Mr.Armaan mallik was finally convinced.
He sighed as he was half way through, one down, one to go. Now it was time to apologize to her mother, and his beloved wife, Mrs.Basket aka Riddhima Armaan Mallik! After all it was her birthday tomorrow and he had returned home late. Well technically the celebrations and party was held the next day, but since they would not get any time on their actually birthday, it was their own trend that they would have the previous day all to themselves and celebrate it just with each other, without any excuses. But it was already past 8, so she had already fed Aria and was almost about to put her to bed when he had come back. But now Riddhima was in no mood to talk to him so had walked away as Aria was too busy playing with her toys not ready to sleep, but she too was upset with her daddy dearest as he had upset her mommy. But finally he had somehow manofied her.

With a loud kiss against Aria's forehead he held her hand and walked towards his room. Taking a deep breath as this one was going to be harder he knew, he opened the door slowly and peeped in. He was bowled over as she looked ethereal in his favourite red coloured simple-plain saree, with just a thin golden sequenced border. Hair falling free on her shoulder just the way he preferred, light line of kohl just enough to create an outline, vermillion in her parted hair, subtle pink gloss, no extra make up layers on her face and still she looked ready to kill. Riddhima who was busy with her earrings threw daggers at him as she saw him peeping and banged the earring on the dresser making him flinch. Aria walked in taking slow tiny steps and tugged Riddhima's saree. She looked down at Aria and picked her up with a huge smile as she seemed all happy while Aria showed her the bunny;
"Mumm... buu...bun... Dada..."
Riddhima threw him a glare as she could see her daughter was bribed already, but her eyes let him know that these tricks were definitely not going to work on her. She was about to snap when he held his ears and bowed his head;
"I am sorry!... Please Riddhima..."

Aria looked to and fro at the two and then as if conveying he was earnest, Aria held his shirt tugging at him and spoke looking up at Riddhima with her big round eyes;
"Dada... sholly... mama... dada!"
She threw her hands in air indicating her to let go and befriend him just as she had. That made Armaan smile seeing his princess side him as always. Riddhima too was in awe at her daughter's cuteness and kissed her forehead;
"Babu abhi bohot khel liya, ab aapko gift bhi mil gaya na, dekha dada bhi aa gaye. Chalo abhi nini nini karenge."

"ba...ba... Hooo..."

"Aruuu!!"
Riddhima pouted as Aria continued playing with the bunny;
"Baby chalo na please so jao..."
Aria leaned her head against her shoulder as she was definitely tired but was simply being stubborn, JUST like her father! Patting her back she headed towards the bed and settled down besides her trying to make her sleep. After some efforts Aria finally lied down but the bunny did not lose her attention, and Armaan who was silently observing all of this throughout finally thought of stepping in. He settled on the opposite end and delicately pulled the bunny out of Aria's hand who looked up at him with a frown trying to get it back. Armaan showed his eyes to her scolding her softly as he could see Riddhima was totally drained as his tiny princess must have kept her on toes for sure. Obviously that did not scare her at all as she tried to poke his round eyes making him shake his head chuckling at her but she anyways gave in as he planted a soft kiss against her head. Placing the bunny in her tiny arms he patted her tummy making her sleep as she obliged, after all she never denied her daddy dearest. Riddhima smiled at the duo forgetting everything for a while but as soon that he looked up, she thought of getting changed. Armaan judged her move and slowly held her hand not letting her move. As she tried to struggle he shushed her signaling towards an almost asleep Aria and Riddhima instantly went still. Slowly Aria finally drifted off into deep slumber when he picked her up carefully and placed her in the crib. As he pecked her head one last time covering her properly, Riddhima was all set to enter washroom but he pulled her back in his arms.
She simply rolled her eyes not even bothering to protest,
"Riddhima listen I really am sorry. Please talk to me...??"
She just stood silent as he cradled her in his arms;
"Baby? I am sorry na."
He planted a kiss in her nape when she finally pushed his hand away but he again locked them against her tummy before she could escape;
"Nahi main nahi chodunga, pehle tum mujhse baat karo."
She now started making attempts to move out of his hold but when all her tries failed, she sighed and declared;
"Ab agar tumne mujhe choda nahi na Armaan toh main tumse kabhi baat nahi karungi!"

"But I love you na Jaan!"

"Yeah right... Try that on Aru... That's not gonna work on me!"

"Baby please na... agar jaroori nahi hota toh-----"

"You could have called? Sent a message? Or wait did I miss on your innumerous calls that you must have made to let me know you will be late!!"
He bit his tongue and his eyes widened now understanding it better. Of course he hadn't done any of it and he also realized that she must have called but he never received any calls as his cell phone was on silent in his blazer pocket, completely forgotten! He looked down at her as she had her neck arched up looking back at him, his hold loosening as he smiled sheepishly. Arching her brow at him as she had successfully made her point, she unlocked the washroom door when he turned her around caging her in his arms completely, leaving not even an air gap to pass through.
"Armaan!"
She gasped as she banged into him and without any warning he slammed his lips against hers. Her eyes widened to their fullest size, while she tried to move away when he walked back pinning her against the wall. With her tiny fists utilizing all her strength, she tried to push him away but obviously she was unable to overpower him. She was completely defeated as he bit her lip and slowly sucked her lower lip, her eyes closed, she moaned but did not give in. He smiled against her lips knowing she couldn't last long in the battle but anyways parted, letting his cold fingers stroke her waist leisurely.
"I know tum upset ho, and you should be. But I am ready for any punishment that you have in store, bas mujhe maaf kardo. Let's not spoil the night Jaan... please!"
She turned her face still annoyed but he could see her anger slowly fading away so he started placing tiny pecks against her cheeks apologizing in between. She did not respond in the beginning but unlike before, did not move either. He continued kissing her nose tip, eyes, chin and the tip of her lips to earn a raspy moan. Pulling her closer he hit the target behind her earlobe, knowing how easily it made her respond and started planting tiny sloppy kisses till she finally held his shirt tight in her delicate fingers arching her neck to give him a better access. He stopped suddenly and covered her mouth as she gave out a loud moan, turning towards Aria to check on her he found her still fast asleep he looked down at his wife, who now stood with flushed cheeks, embarrassed to the core! He brushed his knuckles against her rosy cheeks lightly, letting her mouth free, multiplying the rosiness which made him smirk;
"Oyee hoyyeee! Wifey... abhi Aru uth jaati toh?---- "
She smacked his arm knowing pretty well he would just not leave a single chance to tease;
"I hate you Armaan."

"Yeah I can see... hear that!"
She looked up at him surprised at his shameless comment but he simply winked making her squirm with embarrassment. But he wiped it off taking her into another deep kiss making sure she responded equally to his passion this time and she kept a check on her moans avoiding any further embarrassment or any disturbance in Aria's sleep. All his tiredness and her anger slowly faded away to zero as they kissed, pouring in all the passion they held for each other. With forehead touched, they stood holding each other trying to catch on their breath when she suggested;
"Ab aapka khaana khane ka bhi koi iraada hai ya us mein bhi meri saari mehnat waste?"

He chuckled lightly pecked her pouted lips as he answered;
"Of course I am famished... lekin iske alawa kaunsi mehnat waste hui tumhari?"

"Maine itni mehnat jo ki thi ready hone mein... Do you have any idea how long it takes to wear a saree?"

He nodded and spoke up in a serious tone catching her off guard;
"Uhuh... but don't you worry, tumhari mehnat waste nahi jaayegi, I will appreciate it enough once we have dinner; cuz what I know is, it certainly does not take too long to come out of a saree!"
She frowned for a minute trying to register his words, and once that they were noted she blushed hard while he was showered with hard smacks. He held her hands chuckling at her and spoke up genuinely;
"Sorry! I know I made you wait all through the evening, but I promise I will
make it up to you. Happy birthday in advance Jaan..."

She smiled at his genuine apology and let her fingers play with his collar pulling him closer
"I know... it's okay. And thanks... I love you."

"I love you too!"
He bent in to kiss her forehead when they heard a voice;
"da... bu..."
Both of them turned their heads towards their tiny bundle of joy who had reciprocated by repeating their words in baby language while in sleep! Looking up at each other they chuckled hard at her response and adored her as she smiled lost in her babyland dreams.
-----------------

Riddhima sat on the couch feeding Aria her favourite fruit custard and she happily ate it until Armaan arrived. The minute he was in her view, she started jumping in Riddhima's lap with her hands thrown in air welcoming him and he happily obliged. Taking her in his arms he settled besides Riddhima and pecked both his girls on their cheeks;
"Good morning my bacha... yeayy ab dada khilayenge."
He took the bowl from Riddhima and started feeding Aria who was all happy in his arms, giggling and playing with him while she ate. She finished the bowl and then he fed her medicine keeping her busy in baby talks while Riddhima watched them with a pout. As Armaan noticed her he arched a brow;
"Aruu darling, lagta hai aapki Mumma ko bhi bhooku lagi hai, dekho hume kaise dekh rahi hai."
Armaan chuckled and Aria too giggled as if understanding everything he said as she looked up at her mommy.

"Armaan!!"

"Toh tum aise kya dekh rahi ho?"

"Tum dono ko! Ye acha hai, main khana khilau, diapers change karu, aur tumhare aate hi ye shaitaan mujhe bhul jaati hai. Tumhare alawa na soti hai na dawai khaati hai, matlab meri toh oi value hi nahi!"

"Aww... dekho Aru baby... Mumma kaise complaint kar rahi hai!"

Riddhima rolled her eyes and held Aria's tiny hand in hers;
"Haan toh... Aruu aapke pyaare dada aa gaye na, ab aap baitho unke saath hi, main chali."
Aria instantly looked up at Armaan stopping her play as if understanding her mommy's complaint;
"Dada... ma..."
She asked him what happened to Mommy as she sat with a sulky face but he further teased her kissing Aru's head;
"Vo toh hai... Aru, dada favourite hai na aapke? Aap toh meri princess ho haina?"
Aria instantly smiled jumping in his arms as if approving;
"Da... da..."

Armaan chuckled as Riddhima's pout turned deeper and she tried to move away but he held her hand making her sit back;
"Aruu... mumma se katti katti, dekho kaise bol rahi hai mujhe? Hum dono hi ghumi karne chalenge... mumma ko nahi lenge ok?"

Aria blinked her eyes quietly looking at Riddhima and then instantly shook her head, throwing her hands towards Riddhima tugging her duppatta;
"na...nai ma mama... gumi... Mama..."
Riddhiam instantly smiled and gathered her in her arms as she completely rejected his idea stating that she clearly wanted to tag her mom along or she wasn't going anywhere! She nuzzled her tiny nose and kissed her cheeks as Aria cuddled in her chest;
"Aleee... I love you mera bacha."

He quickly took a snap as the duo played with each other giggling to their heart's content and then wrapped an arm around Riddhima pulling her closer while she placed Aria down to let her play with her toys;
"Aapki value toh sabse jyaada hai Mrs.Mallik, haina princess."
He asked Aria who looked up and smiled at them soon getting back to her toys making them both smile at her cuteness.
"Vaise ye baat toh hai ki Aria toh meri hi team mein rahegi humesha."

Riddhima shook her head and looked up;
"jee nahi aisa kuch nahi, aur vaise bhi meri kaunsi alag team hai?"

"Nahi hai! But just in case aage jaake jaroorat hui toh... what say, tumhare liye bhi koi team mate le aaye? We can start working on it right away if u wish."
He pecked her lips staring down at her waiting for her cheeks to change colour and soon as his words made sense she groaned his name and as expected her cheeks changed to subtle pink, while she hid in his chest earning a kiss on her head.
-------------------

Riddhima sat playing with Aria while he slept besides them. His eyes opened up and he realized it was already 6 in the evening. He slowly turned his head and saw the cutest sight ever, Riddhima was busy blowing air in her ear while she hid in her neck feeling ticklish making both of them giggle at the same time. He silently watched the two play, while he caught hold of Riddhima duppatta and brushed it against his cheeks smelling her fragrance, it was his personal heaven right there. But just then Aria noticed him and frowned, getting closer she tugged the duppatta out of his hold. Armaan and Riddhima both looked down at the same time surprised at her act, but Riddhima chuckled seeing Armaan's reaction. She knew that Aria's was usually possessive of Riddhima's things and would sometimes not even allow him to touch them, and her duppatta was one of such things. Probably she too loved the fragrance and did not wish to share it even with her father! And thus began a tug of war... Aria got down Riddhima lap and tried her best to keep her mommy's duppatta to herself but everytime that she held it, Armaan purposely took it back to tease Aria.
"Uff Armaan kyu tang ka rahe ho use, fir vo ro degi toh peetoge tum mujhse!"

"Arey par ye kya baat hui, she never lets me touch your duppatta."

"Toh rehne do na... chodo use,use nahi pasand... Aur tum kya karoge duppatte ka, use khelne do na shaanti se."
He looked down at Aria who held Riddhima's duppatta in victory as her mommy sided her too. Armaan's jaw dropped at the tiny devil, who looked pure innocent but was nowhere near innocence right now!
"oh my God, she's is such a combination, iski maasomiyat achanak udan chu ho gayi kya, itni shaitaani kaha se soojh rahi hai ise!"

"Armaan... beti kiski hai?"
Riddhima arched her brow at him and he smiled sheepishly getting his point as the tables had turned. It was always her on the receiving end while she kept scolding him as he was spoiling her day by day with all his tactics, pampering her! So he narrowed his eyes at Aria who was keen on winning this one, and settled his head in Riddhima's lap smirking at Aria;
"Lo... Rakh lo duppatta, main yaha khush hu."

"Armaaan!!"
She scolded him seeing him turn into another baby competing with his own daughter as he held her hand tightly stating his rights when Aria looked down at the duppatta and pushed it away instantly. She now started pushing him with her tiny hands but when she realized she couldn't push him, she tried tapping his cheeks and tugging his shirt to pull him away but nothing worked. Tired, she looked up at him, then towards Riddhima and then giving up she put her head down on his chest snuggling into him instead, as he had already taken her favourite place. Both of them were in awe at her sudden move and Riddhima slowly caressed her head smacking Armaan for teasing her, while he sat up giggling at her finally placing her in Riddhima lap kissing her cheek, who happily snuggled in her arms once again.
"Badmaash ho gayi hai meri princess, bhut chalo you win... happy now?"
Happy that he had let go she offered him her duppatta making both of them chuckle.
------------------

Armaan had just walked out of shower and saw Aria playing with the bunny, so he joined her. Riddhima came out with his breakfast and took Aria as she never let anyone eat in peace so she kept her distracted away from him until he finished. But as she looked up at him she made a face to which he frowned;
"Kya?"

"Armaan ye kya hulia bana rakha hai apna. Shave kyu nahi karte tum, goonde lagne lage ho ab!"

"What the... baby use sexy bolte hai hai!"

"Tch tch tch... sharam karo, bachi ke saamne kuch bhi bolte ho besharam."

"Arey ab is mein kya... she knows her dad is still hot and se----"

"Armaan!! Thappad khaoge ab."
Aria had turned towards him and was all set to go and have a war with all the food in his plate so Riddhima quickly turned her;
"Jee nahi... aap kaha bhaag rahi hai? Yahi baitho mere saath."

"Dada paash!"
She exclaimed wanting to go to him when Riddhima kissed her forehead and smiled at her;
"Bacha dada ko naashta kar lene do na... fir khelna unke saath, ok?"
Aria obliged happily getting back to her bunny while Armaan snapped at her;
"Ye acha hai... beti ko clean shave karu toh problem, aur biwi ne shave na kiya toh toh goonda bol diya, ab ye abla purush bhala kya kare?!"
He stated melodramatically making Riddhima roll her eyes;
"Haan bade aaye abla!! Vaise bhi Aruu ko bhi itni lambi daadi pasand nahi bas clean shave karne pet um bohot alag lagte ho is liye vo paas nahi aati fir, par ab itni bhi badane ko kisi ne nahi kaha tumse, varna tum mere paas na aana ab."

He was about to retort when Aria interrupted their conversation;
"Boo... mama boo..."
Riddhima frowned as Aria sat in her lap looking at her neck and looked extrememly upset;
"Kya hua baby... lag gayi kahi?"
She asked concerned but she instead pointed towards her neck and the next moment started crying. Totally perplexed by her behavior Riddhima looked up at Armaan who shrugged, equally confused. She tried to pacify Aria who simply kept on chanting;
"Mama... boo..."
As Armaan was done with breakfast by now he took her in his arms;
"Kya hua princess... aise rote nahi. Boo hua aapko kahi, dada ko batao, hum abhi use theek kar denge haina?! Aap toh strong girl ho na, chalo stop crying!"
She shook her head as he wiped her tears and once again pointed towards Riddhima;
"Boo..."

With a frown Armaan looked at Riddhima and that's when he noticed her neck. And it happened to be one of the rarest occasions when Riddhima saw him turn red at his neck as he rolled his tongue in his mouth not knowing what to answer Aria who kept looking at him with big round eyes. Riddhima frowned at his reaction when Armaan looked down at Aria;
"Umm... Aru vo... baby Mamma theek hai, unhe kuch nahi hua."

Aria looked up at Riddhima trying to confirm what he said was true to which she nodded pacifying Aria, not knowing what he meant though. She looked up at Armaan still not completely convinced so he suggested;
"Acha chalo mama ko ek kissy dedo fir vo bilkul theek ho jayegi, haina mama?"
He took her closer to Riddhima and she kissed Riddhima's cheek which she returned happily. Armaan finally, after some more pacifying Aria was all back to normal and continued watching the colourful comic that he had handed over. Riddhima who still sat confused frowned at him when he smirked and tugged at her hand. She was confused but his looks told her that whatever this was, it was going to turn out embarrassing for her.
"Armaan kya hai kaha le jaa rahe ho?"
She kept asking him till they reached the mirror, when he pointed towards something and she looked at the mirror. She was confused at first but soon as her eyes fell on her neck, she realized what had happened and wished she could just disappear somewhere right that moment. Her collarbone held a small hickie that was now visible as her dupatta had slid away; which their dear daughter had noticed and assuming that it was some wound her lovely mother had suffered from, she had started crying as she was really sensitive about her mother. Riddhima gasped as realization dawned on her, and her face turned pure red. She shut her eyes unable to face him anymore when he hugged her from behind placing a kiss against her earlobe.
"Tch tch... Ye kya baat hui Riddhima... bechari meri princess ko rula diya na!"

Riddhima opened her eyes and mouth wide at his complaint but seeing his eyes shining with mischief she turned incapable of saying or even moving an inch. He chuckled at her face and kissed her nape hugging her tighter, when his beard tickled her neck so she instantly thought of using it as distraction and spoke up in broken words;
"Sss... tumhari daadi... maine kaha than a paas... na"nahi aana; ja--- jao shave karo Armaan... chodo mujhe!"

He chuckled at her excuse and turned her pulling her into his arms once again while she looked everywhere but him. He checked on Aria and found her busy with the comic, so he slid her sleeve a bit away and kissed the mark making her blush harder. Holding her chin he made her look up and stated as a matter of fact;
"While we are back to the topic, let me tell you Mrs.Mallik... vaise toh Aria ko manana jyaada asaan hoga..."
Riddhima glared at him to which she was only pulled closer as he continued;
"But I think I would rather prefer my own ways to make you stop running from me! Wanna try?"
Her eyes softened and she looked away trying to push him as she couldn't stand his passionate challenging gaze with that killer smirk on his face. She blushed profusely and he caressed her cheeks abd lower lip. Riddhima tried to retort signaling that Aria was right there. He pulled her closer and moved a little behind protecting them from Aria's view while his hand moved down to her waist caressing it softly. He continued to place soft kisses on her neck soothing the mark that had landed them into a situation making her moan. As Riddhima could still hear Aria's tiny baby noises that she made, she once again made an attempt;
"Arm...aan---- Aru!"
