part 2
She came out of the washroom wearing a purple net saree..he could exactly figure out where her belly button was...she was looking absolutely gorgeous...that purple color was complementing her skin...and the pinch of red sindoor was giving another glow on her face...anyone would fall for her if saw her in that condition
He looked at her thinking...'' how come i never noticed my bestfriend had such beautiful curves''...while he heard another voice in his head telling him...''chunck that armaan...she's no more your bestfriend...she's the one because of whom you got away from your love...and she can't look this pretty tonight''...he ignored the feeling inside fearing someone else might drool at his perfect wife and went out quickly making a plan mentally
She was feeling her cheeks growing warm and red as she felt his constant gaze on her...she was confused...she kicked herself mentally...not to think about armaan love her...once she did that mistake and started loving armaan like anything...and she's still paying for it now not again
''no way shilpa...you need to be strong not weak...don't live in infatuation world again...after all what happen...he only hates you''
''Pagal hogayi kya??...you're talking alone''..he lifted his eyebrows..watching her moves carefully
''tumhe isse kya...mein kuch bhi karun meri marzi''
now this shilpa was new to him...he knew the caring...shy...innocent and sweet shilpa..she was unknown she could be strong too..it's not going to be that easy as he thought to torture her...least he knew he was the one who made her strong
''Whatever...pakao mat...and you can't wear this saree'' he said with a determined face confusing her harder
''kyun...isme kya problem hain...and for your kinda information...ma gifted me this saree to wear today''
''i don't care...whosoever gave it to you...you ain't wearing it''..and gave her another saree of pink color...it was a simple saree with a silver border
According to him...it was the most ugly saree but to shilpa it was the prettiest...maybe because her husband gave it too her...unknown to his intention she took it from him and went in the washroom to change...while armaan quickly got ready and got in his car
She wore the saree...smiling at herself in the mirror...wearing a silver bracelet...and silver earings...she din't have to add loads of efforts to make herself look presentable..but soon she saw her wrist ...and remembered how she got it...when he grabbed her tight..she closed her eyes painfully thinking about how terrified she was...she found soo much of hatred for herself in his eyes...she removed the bracelet and instead wore some bangles..so that her scratch will not be visible to anyone and walked to armaan
He got the shocked of his life when he saw her walking towards his car...the saree he thought was ugly looked the best wrapping around her...and she was glowing more than she did earlier...she was looking like an angel in that pink...he was confused how did this happen...he was out to make her sad and ugly but here she's looking even prettier
she sat next to him in the car...''chalein agar tumara ghoorna ban hogaya toh''
She looked straight in his eyes...trying to read what's in and found confusion
''thanks for the saree...i loved it'' she was smiling at him...shocking him harder
He was able to leave just an ''it's okay from his lips''
And drove to riddhima's party
As they entered...All eyes drifted to them...and he felt shilpa leaving his side as she saw her brother
''bhaii...i missed you'' she was hugging her brother tight showing how much
she missed being wrapped warmly and affectionately
''i missed you too moti...but kya baat hain you're looking soo pretty today'' he said cupping her cheeks lovingly
''bhai i am not moti'' she complained like a little kid
''sid''
She said lovingly as her voice when to his ears but before he could answer...armaan stepped ahead
''hey riddhima..thanks a lot for arranging all soo perfectly''
''areh but i din't do anything...sid was here from this morning...he was arranging all''
She said with a perfect smile on her face..and blush on her cheeks while armaan made a fist and gritting his teeth while saying''oh ...thanks sid...for all''
'' armaan...why are you being soo formal...we are relatives now...my princess is your wife...forget all formalities'' he hugged him friendly...while armaan rolled his eyes sarcastically...which only shilpa noticed
''okay..you guys be here...i will be back in a while''
''but bhai where are you going''...she will be alone if her brother leaves...she came there only for him...yes there was other people...but she used to feel alright with only two people around..her brother and her bestfriend armaan...but now he is not her bestfriend anymore
''areh...just wait princess...it's a surprise..i'll be back''
She moved politely to riddhima and said...''do you know what he is upto??''
''No..i dunno...so shilpa how was your wedding night...armaan ne zyada tang toh nahi kiya na''
Before she could answer armaan did it for her
''Riddhima...where did you get your transfer??''
''In sanjeevni armaan...it's soo cool na even sid and the rest are there...what about you two?''
She was excited when she said sid's name...but armaan failed to notice that excitement...he was unfortunately too lost in her eyes...to realize...her heart was beating for someone else
Shilpa was not feeling jealous when she watched them talking together...SHe always wanted her bestfriend's happiness...whether it's with her or with riddhima...but knew riddhima loved sid
Flashback
She was the last student who was getting out of the classroom when her eyes fell on a bag...it was written riddhima gupta on
''Areh it's riddhima's bag maybe woh yahan bhul gayii...i'll get it to her''
As she lifted the bag a pic went out of it...it was their gang pic...where riddhima was standing near sid...She drew a heart connecting hers and sid face and it was written ''i love you sid''
She felt happy ...happy for her brother...as she knew he loved her...but thought it's their personal matter...so she placed the picture back and went to find riddhima and handle her bag to her
Flashback ends
She didn't know that time...armaan loved riddhima too...when she knew...it was way too late...their family was determined with the idea of bonding both of them in a marriage ...but armaan is thinking she did all of it on purpose
Her trance broke as she felt the light going off...she was scare of dark...she held an stranger's arms tight unknown to who it is and closed her eyes tight
he watched her frightened face..and shook his face...he knew she was scare of darkness...he was about to push her away but something pinched him in and he held her hands and said...''relax we are all here''
They all watched the lights focussing on riddhima and sid...with sid moving closer to riddhima and going on his knees
''riddhima...tomorrow we are all starting a new phase in our lives...i wanna start this new phase of my life holding your hand'' he held her fingers to his lips and continued... ''i started liking you since the very first time i saw you...but i never knew if you loved me too...but someone told me to confess my love before i loose her forever''...looking at her sister's face and giving an idea to armaan who probed him to confess his love...he looked back at sid and riddhima and heard him saying
''Will you be mine forever riddhima''
He grabbed shilpa's hands roughly...and angrily not caring she might be getting hurt of his sudden action...but she didn't flinch...she stayed intact with a fake smile playing on her lips...so that no one notice them
She smiled through her tears and whispered...''sid...i wanted too hear this from you since ages...i can't believe you just said it too me..she pulled him upwards hugging him tight and saying ''yess i will be yours mr siddhant malhotra and i love you too''
And the crowd started clapping and congratulating the new couple leaving armaan and shilpa behind
Shilpa looked at armaan eyes...it was red...he was hurt and angry
''So this was the plan haan'' he spatted angrily...''you knew your brother loved my riddhima..soo if you marry me..riddhima will not be having any option except that looser brother of yours...he pinned her against the wall not caring where they were standing''
She was frightened again...not of him hurting her...but he was misunderstanding her harder and making all even more complicated.
''oye hoye...love birds are romancing''
He left her looking back and watching rahul and atul grinning at them and faked their reaction
''shut up champ...aaj koi plan nothing...what a dry party..no drinks nothing''
She heard her saying drink...she remember him promising her he will not drink anymore after his accident after a prom night...she knew he couldn't drink..it affected him badly
''nahi yaar..kal first day hain so no drink''
She thanked atul mentally
''forget about first day i'm going to drink''..and he moved towards the bar leaving a troubled shilpa behind
Thats all for today i guess 😆 sorry if i bored any of you
