JEENE LAGA HOON - An AR SS -
Part 3
'Basket...' Armaan shouted not understanding what was going on her mind...
Armaan run as fast as he could and just was on time to pull Riddhima to the side of the road to him hiding her in his arms... The truck past from them in full speed not even trying to stop... Armaan hearts were beating more them 1000speed faster seeing his Basket standing in front of the death as if she was welcoming it with open hands...
When the truck fades in front of Armaan eyes, Armaan look at Riddhima who was statue... Armaan hugs her thanking god for making him save her on time... If he didn't pull her on time, don't know what must had happen...
'Paagal hogaye ho kiya tum Riddhima...
Tum aise woh truck ke saamne rukh kaise sakte ho... Kabhi socha hai tumhe kuch hojati toh mera kiya hoga... Ek baar bhi nehi socha tumne... Tumhari bina main kaise rahunga...' Armaan said shaking Riddhima...
Riddhima didn't answer him as she was still under the shocked and she wasn't able to hear anything Armaan was saying at the moment... Seeing Riddhima expression, Armaan knew she didn't hear anything he just said... Her expression shows she was under the shocked and not waiting, Armaan carried her in bridel style and move back towards Sanjeevani to his car so that he could take her back to home... Armaan didn't want any more incident to happen that leads him to lost her tonight...
Ride to Armaan house were silent as Riddhima didn't say or move in her seat... Armaan keep looking at her but seeing no expression in her face, Armaan knew she was under the shocked and her mind must have stop working the moment truck came in front of her...
After ten minutes drive, Armaan reach to his home and got out from the car... Armaan wait Riddhima to move out from the car but when Riddhima didn't came out, Armaan went to her side and open the door for her to get down...
Still then when Riddhima didn't move, Armaan bend down towards her looking at her face but Riddhima just keep staring at the headboard ahead her... Armaan put his hand on her cheeks turning Riddhima face towards him just to see emptiness in her eyes...
Seeing her empty eyes, Armaan understand he needs to do something so without wanting another second Armaan carried her in his arms... Riddhima didn't try to get down from his arms but rest her head on his neck putting her hands around his neck...
Armaan took Riddhima inside and to his room which was clean by Kaka who was looking after the house in Armaan absent... Armaan inform Kaka that he would be coming back today so Kaka did his job and must have left... Switching on the lights, Armaan make Riddhima sit on the bed as he sit in front of her holding her hands in his...
'Basket... Aise chup kyun ho...' Armaan asked trying to make Riddhima speak but Riddhima keep silent...
Armaan patted Riddhima cheeks to bring her out from the shocked but she didn't react to anything Armaan did... Not understanding what to do, Armaan took a glass from near by table which Kaka must have left and smash it on to the wall making in crash in to several pieces...
Hearing the sudden noise, Riddhima look towards Armaan who was standing near the pieces which was on the floor near his feet... Seeing Armaan was about to step on to the broken glasses, Riddhima quickly move towards him...
'Armaan... Paagal hogaye ho kiya...
Kiya karne jaa raha ta tum... Koi aisa karte hai kiya... lag jaate toh tumhe...' Riddhima said pulling Armaan away from the broken glasses...
'Basket... Main tik hoon... Mujhe nehi laga...' Armaan said holding Riddhima shoulder...
Riddhima hugs him and let the tears fall from her eyes... Riddhima got so scared seeing Armaan was about to step on the broken glasses... Riddhima had forgotten what she had face a while ago when she saw Armaan was going to get hurt...
'Tumhe chot lag jaate toh...' Riddhima asked...
'Aur tumhe kuch hojate toh...' Armaan asked...
Riddhima move away from him looking at his eyes to see fear of losing her... Riddhima know understood why Armaan did it as he was lost in her thoughts as she was lost seeing the death came in front of her...
'I m sorry Armaan... Lekin pata nehi main us waqt kiya soch rahi ti...
Mujhe us gharpe waapas nehi jaana ta Armaan... Main unlogo se abhi saamna nehi karna chaahti hoon...
Not after whatever I said to them today...' Riddhima said resting her head on his hands which was holding hers...
'I can understand Riddhima... Lets not talk about this now...
Jo huva woh toh hogaya... Ab sochne se tumhari tabiyyat kharab hojaenge...
Chalo tum sojao...' Armaan said moving out from the bed to let Riddhima sleep...
Riddhima face fell seeing how Armaan wanted to end the dicussion but somehow, Riddhima felt that it was no use knowing neither she was going to listen to him and he was even right...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call him...
'Haan...' Armaan ask pulling the blanket over her body as Riddhima sit on the bed with her legs stretching...
'Jab tab main nehi sojate, meri paas raho na plz...' Riddhima said holding his hand...
Armaan sit next to her as Riddhima move close to him resting her head on his chest... Armaan one hand move around Riddhima shoulder as Riddhima holds Armaan other hand playing with his fingers... They sit like this for god knows how many minutes, Armaan look down to Riddhima who look up to him...
Their face were inch away, as they could feel each other breath as their lips were so close that if Armaan bend towards her, their lips would be meeting with each other... As soon as they look at each other eyes, they were lost in each other...
Armaan hand move on Riddhima hands up to the arms making Riddhima shiver, Riddhima hands move on Armaan chest holding his shirt on her fist... Their heatbeat slowly started to beat faster as they keep staring each other eyes... Armaan hands slowly move on her neck and up to her cheeks cupping it as he care his thumb near Riddhima pink lips...
Riddhima lips parted as if she wants him to claim her lips with his... Armaan gaze move to Riddhima lips and back to her eyes asking for approve... Small shy smile form on Riddhima lips as she closed her eyes as she slowly pull Armaan towards her...
Understanding Riddhima answer, Armaan move his face closing the distance between their lips as he placed his manly one on her soft ones... As their lips move together, their eyes were closed and both smile to the kiss as they share their very first kiss...
Armaan kiss her lower lips while Riddhima respond with equal passionate kissing his upper lips... Riddhima hand move on Armaan neck massaging his neck asking him to go on... Armaan hand which was cupping her cheeks was move around her waist pulling her over him as Armaan laid on the bed with Riddhima over him...
The kiss started with simple yet sweet, but as they keep continuing kissing it was turning passionate every passing minute... Armaan links her lower lips asking her to open her mouth but when Riddhima didn't, Armaan softly bit her lips making her moan and open her mouth to let Armaan tongue move inside her mouth as their tongue moving together in sync...
They were kissing crazily but they break the kiss when Armaan felt Riddhima needs air... So pecking Riddhima lips, Armaan let his head fall backwards on to the pillow while Riddhima rest her head on Armaan chest...
Neither of them say anything about the kiss and Armaan stroke Riddhima hair making her fall in sleep... When Armaan felt Riddhima slept, he look at her face which was hidden with her hair... Armaan slowly move her hair to get a good view of her face and seeing how peaceful Riddhima was sleeping, Armaan took a turn slowly not wanting to disturb Riddhima sleep as he make her laid on the bed...
Covering Riddhima nicely under the comforter, Armaan try to move out from the bed but Riddhima holding Armaan... Armaan try to lose her grip but it was not helping as Riddhima grip were getting tight every time Armaan try to make her leave his shirt...
'Armaan, mujhe chodke mat jao plz...' Riddhima said still with her eyes closed...
Not taking Riddhima words seriously thinking she must be saying in her sleep, Armaan again try to remove her hand from his shirt...
'Armaan, please mere paas raho... Please mujhe chodke mat jao... Please...' Riddhima said still holding his shirt as she slowly open her eyes looking at him...
Armaan stop moving seeing Riddhima was not fully sleeping and she meants whatever she said just few minutes ago... Also Armaan knows Riddhima was feeling insecure to let him go so without trying to move away from her, Armaan laid next to her as Riddhima move close to her cuddling on his chest whispering good night to him... Armaan kiss Riddhima forehead as he hold her securely in his arms whispering good night before closing his eyes with a beautiful smile on his face...
Armaan and Riddhima sleep holding each other as beautiful smile adore in their faces... They look so peacefully while sleeping as if they haven't sleep like this from months... Being in each other arms, shows much peaceful sleep they can sleep that whole night without waking up once they usually wake up when they were separated from each other...
*A DAY LATER*
Riddhima was living with Armaan and she had bring her cloths from Gupta house sending Armaan to collect them... Riddhima was not going hospital for the coming few weeks as she took off from work and also she don't want to go in front of any of her friends and her father knowing she wouldn't be able to look at them and take their stare towards her...
Armaan wasn't back to his work so both spend the previous day in home settling everything the way Riddhima wanted... Riddhima asked Armaan to go and get her belongings from Gupta house... Armaan first didn't agree because he just can't go and tell Padma to give him everything which belongs to Riddhima...
As Riddhima was not in talking times with any Gupta, she didn't know what to do... Then she send a msg to Padma asking to packed everything which belongs to her and send it with Armaan who would be going to collect in an hour time...
Reading Riddhima msg, Padma call her several times but Riddhima didn't answer her calls... When Padma call her the third time, it was Armaan who answer the call and Padma call to conform that she should really packed or not... Armaan tell her he would be reaching there in an hour so make ready everything which Riddhima would be wanting to take with her...
Armaan and Padma talks for 10mins before Armaan cut the call and look at Riddhima who was arranging Armaan wardrobe, making place for her cloths... Armaan knows Riddhima was listening to him so he thought to do some drama...
'Kya... Kiya huva aapko Aunty...' Armaan said with a sudden change of his voice as if he was worried...
As Armaan expected, Riddhima turn around to him but Armaan turn his back to her watching her action from the corner of his eyes...
'Aunty, aap tik toh hona...' Armaan asked again with worried expression...
Riddhima move closed to him as worried expression took place on her face... Armaan knows Riddhima would get so mad on him for acting like this but Armaan just want to make her realized that how much she was missing her mother and others but she was too stubborn to accept it...
Armaan keep acting as if he was listening to Padma and Riddhima keep asking him through eyes what happen... After few seconds, Armaan end the call and move towards the bed...
'Armaan, kiya huva Ma koh...' Riddhima asked but Armaan ignore her as he took his magazine from the side table and started to read it...
Seeing Armaan action, Riddhima anger started to built inside her... Here she was getting worried not knowing what has happen to her mother but Armaan just sit reading his magazine not daring to answer her...
'Armaan, main tumse kuch pooch rahi hoon...
Kya huva hai Ma koh...' Riddhima asked moving towards Armaan...
Riddhima stood in front of Armaan but Armaan kept himself busy reading the magazine acting as if he didn't hear what Riddhima was asking about... When Armaan didn't answer her, Riddhima snatch the magazine from his hand making Armaan look towards her...
'Yeh kiya kar rahe ho tum Basket... Mujhe mera magazine waapas karo...
Aur tum jaakhe apna kaam karo na, kyun mujhe disturb kar rahe ho...' Armaan said...
'Apna hi kaam kar rahi hoon main Armaan...
Tum mujhe ignore kyun kar rahe ho... Maine tumse kuch poocha...' Riddhima said...
'Kis hak se pooch rahe ho Riddhima... Shayad tum bhul rahe ho tumne kaha hai woh log tumhare kuch nehi lagte...
Toh tum itna pareshan kyun ho rahe ho...' Armaan asked taking his magazine from Riddhima...
Riddhima stood like a statue hearing Armaan words which Riddhima has used to her parents and others a day before... Riddhima felt so bad hearing those words and tears form in her eyes... Not wanting to let it fall, Riddhima move towards the wardrobe, back to her work...
Armaan who was watching Riddhima every single action, understood how much it hurts her but she was not going to admit it... She was really stubborn in everything and Armaan knows it was only him who can make Riddhima understand about anything and everything...
Armaan move closed to Riddhima standing behind her as he hugs her resting his chin on Riddhima shoulder... Riddhima didn't say a word or stop her work feeling Armaan so closed to him...
'Basket... I m sorry but maine jo kuch bhi abhi kiya, woh tumhe yehi ehsaas dilane ke liyeh kiya tum unlogo koh takleef dene ke chakkar main khud koh bhi takleef de rahe ho... Main apne Basket koh takleef main nehi dekh sakti...
Jaise tumhe unlogo koh fikar hai, waise unlogo koh bhi tumhari bohot fikar hai... Ek baar un logo se mil lo Riddhima, woh sab kuch bhulake tumhe gale lagjaenge...' Armaan said...
'Main jaanti hoon Armaan... Lekin meri jaise beti koh itni aasani se maafi nehi milna chahiyeh... Maine bohot bura bola Papa koh... Ma koh, Di aur Nikki koh bhi... Mujh mein itni himmat nehi hai abhi main unlogo se saamne ja sakhun... Lekin main vada karti hoon tumse Armaan, humhare shaadi ke baad sabse pehle hum unlogo ke paas chalenge... Tum mujhe lejaenge na waha, aur meri saat rahenge na...' Riddhima said...
'Main toh abhi bhi tumhari saat hoon Basket... Main aaj bhi tumhari saat jaane ke liyeh tayyar hoon... Bas tum ek baar kehke toh dekho...' Armaan said turning Riddhima in his hold..
'Nehi, abhi nehi... Aaj humhe court jaana haina registration ke liyeh... Uske baad hum wahase jaungi...' Riddhima said...
'Haan, registration ke baad se yaad aaya...' Armaan said checking the time, 'Abhi tak woh dono koh aana chahiyeh ta, pata nehi kaha rehgaye...'
'Kisko... Koan aane wala hai...' Riddhima asked...
Armaan smile knowing how much Riddhima hate surprises but Armaan knows it would be worth to watch her expression when she meet with the two people who would be coming to attend and be the witness of their wedding...
'Armaan...' Riddhima shake him seeing Armaan lost in his thought...
'Tohda inthizaar karna padega tumhe Basket...
Waise tumne decide kiya aaj kiya pehenne wale ho... After all humhare shaadi hai toh kuch mere favorite ka pehenna chahiyeh na...' Armaan said...
'Nice try Dr.Mallik but haan maine socha nehi main kiya pehnungi...' Riddhima said...
'Hmmm, shopping toh jaa nehi sakte hum abhi but, no worries my dearest Basket... When Armaan Mallik is here, no need to fear... Maine apne basket ke liyeh ek gift liya hai kal... Hope tumhe pasand aaye...' Armaan said kissing Riddhima nose tip...
Riddhima smile with his action and Armaan move to get something out to the hall... Riddhima thought to wait for him to get back but when he was taking so much time, Riddhima move out only to get bumped to Armaan... Riddhima lost her balance and was about to fall but like always Armaan hold her not letting her hit the floor...
Armaan hold Riddhima by her waist close to him, as Riddhima hands were on his chest holding his shirt she has closed her eyes tight with the fear of hitting the hard floor... But when Riddhima felt Armaan hold her, Riddhima slowly open her eyes meeting her green orbs with Armaan blue ones...
Armaan eyes were admiring Riddhima beautiful features as his eye keep moving from her eyes to pinkish cheeks and then lips... Riddhima felt she skip a beat when Armaan eyes move on her lips... Naughty smile form on Armaan lips as Riddhima bit her lower lips to control it shivering...
Armaan look at Riddhima eyes, wanting to know if Riddhima would allowed him again to claim her lips... Riddhima lower her eyelash as Armaan smile got wide understanding the meaning... Armaan move his face close to her, closing the distance between their lips...
Before Armaan could seal Riddhima lips, their moment was disturb with the door bell ring... Riddhima stood up leaving Armaan as she correct her dress and Armaan smile seeing how Riddhima got nervous... Armaan went to open the door and Riddhima stood on the spot thinking who must have come at this time of the day as it was only 10am...
Riddhima could hear two other people talking and Riddhima ones recognized the laugh when the girl laugh...
Riddhima move close to the door to make sure it was the one she was thinking and seeing who was standing in the front door, Riddhima stood with shocked staring at them...
Very familiar two face were staring back to her as Armaan move side to let them in... How can Riddhima forget them specially the two punjabi's friends of them who always fight with each other but end up falling in love with each other...
Riddhima eyes move from the guy to the girl who was wearing kurta and jeans, her curly hair left open flying around her round face, with minimum make up...
Long earrings, bracelet on her left hand with ring was the only jewelry she wore...
They stood staring at each other not believing their eyes that they were meeting again after like 6 long months...
After the shoot incident, their path got them into different places which make them separated...
'Ridzyyy...' The girl said as she move inside and hugging Riddhima who was still shocked...
'Muski...' Riddhima asked not believing her eyes...
'Its so good to meet you Ridzy... N u r looking as beautiful as ever...' Muskaan said...
'Good to see u too but tum dono yaha kaise... I mean achanak..' Riddhima asked...
'Basket, yaha saare baate karenge ya dono koh andar bhi lejaaenge... Chal Rahool, let me help u with the bags...' Armaan said helping Rahul with the bags...
'Aao na Muski.. Main tum logo ke liyeh kuch khane ke liyeh laati hoon... Dono fresh hojao, phir hum baat karenge...' Riddhima said taking Muskaan to the only guest room in Armaan house..
Soon Muskaan and Rahul got freshen up and Riddhima make breakfast for them... Armaan was making some calls and while Riddhima was in kitchen he sneak in without making noise and hugs Riddhima making her jump...
'Kiya karti rehte ho Armaan... Chodo mujhe, ab hum dono akele nehi hai ghar pe..' Riddhima said...
'Matlab akele hai toh main kuch bhi kar sakta hoon right...' Armaan ask hiding his face on Riddhima neck placing soft kisses making Riddhima blush...
'Tum baahar jaakhe beito... Main kaam khatam karke aati hoon... Aur dekho Muski ya Rahul dekhlenge... Plz Armaan..' Riddhima said but she didnt push him away as she was putting foods in plates...
'Dekhlenge nehi, dekhliya humne... Waise maanna padega Hero, itni months baad bhi tum koi moka nehi chote na Ridzy ke saat romance karne ke liye...' Muskaan said coming to the kitchen with Rahul...
Riddhima move Armaan hand away from her waist as she took the plates to the dinning table... Armaan just stood near the counter resting his back on it...
'Ab itni months baad mila hai toh moka kaise chod sakta hoon... Waise mujhe abhi bhi yakeen nehi ho raha tum dono ne shaadi karli... Itni bhi kiya jaldi ti yaar...' Armaan asked...
Riddhima who came back to get other plates was shocked to hear this little information about Muskaan and Rahul...
'What??? Tum dono ne shaadi karli aur humhe habar tak nehi hone di...' Riddhima asked...
'Riddhima, jis haalat main humhare shaadi huva... Tab hum main se koi contact main nehi ta... Na Muskaan koh pata ta tum kaha ti, na mujhe kissi ki baare main kuch information mila..' Rahul said...
'Lekin tum dono kaise mili...' Riddhima asked as Muskaan help her with the plates and they all move to the dinning table as Riddhima got coffee for Armaan and hot chocolate for her as they had breakfast already...
Everyone settle down as Muskaan and Rahul start with their breakfast...
'Main batata hoon...' Armaan said...
Armaan tell Riddhima how he met with Rahul and Muskaan in the same hospital where Armaan went for the treatment... Muskaan was a senior doctor and Rahul is getting treatment for cancer, yes Rahul has cancer of 1st stage and in the hospital Rahul and Muskaan met...
When Armaan went London, they met in hospital and after two months of Muskaan meeting with Rahul, they got married...
That one month Armaan stay in London, he stay with Rahul and Muskaan... When doctor tell that Armaan has almost recover from his disease, how he started to counts the days to come back to his basket...
By the time Armaan finished telling Riddhima, Muskaan and Rahul finished their breakfast and they move to the hall...
Muskaan and Riddhima were sitting in two seat couch as Armaan and Rahul took the singles two couch...
'Aur maine hi in dono koh call karke kaha aaj humhare shaadi hai aur in dono koh witness banna hoga...' Armaan said...
'Lekin yaha toh sab hai na toh mujhe yeh samajh main nehi aaya hum dono kyun itni dur se bhulaya tumne...' Rahul said...
Armaan look towards Riddhima hearing Rahul question and even Muskaan nod agreeing with him as they had been asking this from Armaan who for some reason had been avoiding that question...
'Kyunki main kissi aur se baat nehi karna chaahti, na unlogo koh meri shaadi main shamil karna chaahti hoon...' Riddhima said quietly and excuse herself as tears form in her eyes...
When Riddhima went to the room, Muskaan and Rahul look at Armaan waiting for him to let the beans out... Knowing they have the right to know what happen, Armaan tell them everything that happen in the last two days, from the day he enter Gupta house after he return from London...
'Poor Ridzy... Shayad main bhi uski jhaga hoti toh same karte... Lekin Ridzy koh itni bhi naraz nehi hona chahiyeh.. Kuch bhi ho apna apna hi hota hai...' Muskaan said...
'Woh naraz nehi hai... Woh hurt hai bas, woh yeh sab karna nehi chaahte but woh unlogo koh ehsaas dilana chaahte hai use kitna takleef huva in sabse..' Armaan said...
'Aur shayad Riddhima jo kar rahi hai woh bhi sahi hai, kyunki usne bohot kuch saha hai aur yehi ek tarika hai woh samajhte hai woh unlogo koh yeh ehsaas dila sakte hai jab apnon ne saat hokar bhi saat nehi deti toh kitna takleef hota hai...' Rahul said...
'Hmm... Muski, tum Basket ke paas jaao, mujhe Gupta house jaana hai uske saamaan lene, phir humhe tayyar bhi hona hai... 2bhaje humhe register office poachna hai...
Maine Basket ke liyeh kapde wardrobe ke neeche wali drawer main rakha hai plx use tayyar kardena okey...' Armaan said...
'Tu fikar mat kar hero, main hoon na...
Tum dono jaldi jaake aao, hum sabko tayyar hokar ek bhaje nikalna hoga...' Muskaan said...
Armaan and Rahul left and Muskaan locked the door and move towards AR room knowing Riddhima would be needing a friend at the moment...
*IN AR ROOM*
Riddhima was standing near the window as her view was blur because of the tears... Riddhima try not to let it fall because it was her decision to hurt her family just to make them realized how she felt that time when no one stood by her side...
Today, Riddhima was happy that in few hours she would be legally announce as Armaan wife, whom she always had been dreaming to be the day she realized her love for him... At the same time she was sad that her family wouldn't be her side but they only create this distance in between their relation...
Riddhima wipes her tears before it falls from her eyes as she promise her self she wouldn't think over it so that she can start her new life happily with Armaan, her only love... Riddhima stood there looking outside to the busy road as vehicles and people were moving to go to their destination on time...
Riddhima thought was broke when she felt someone hand on her shoulder, she turn around to be face to Muskaan...
Riddhima lower her eyes not knowing what Muskaan would be thinking about her hearing what she had said to her own parents...
'Ridzy, u shouldn't be ashamed of urself for saying and behaving like that with them...
I can understand wht u r going through at the moment... Us main tumhari koi galati nehi hai, shayad main bhi tumhari jhaga hoti toh aise hi behave karte...' Muskaan said...
'Lekin mujhe khud koh control karna chahiyeh ti, jo baate maine kaha main jaanti woh main waapas nehi le sakte...
Meri un baaton ke baad bhi woh log mujhe khush dekhna chaahte hai... Which I don't deserve...' Riddhima said...
'U deserve every happiness in ur life Ridzy... Tumne aur Armaan ne bohot sehenliya aaj tak... Tum dono sabko apne rishte koh manane ke liyeh kya kuch nehi kiya...
Dhuniya se ladi, tumhari papa se ladi... Aur dekho, aaj tum dono ek hone jaa rahi ho, bandhan se jhodne jaa rahi ho jo tum dono kitne months tak wait kiya...
Haan yeh sahi hai apnon saat hokar bhi saat nehi hai, lekin un logo ka pyaar aur wishes hamesha tumhare saat hai...
Ridzy main jaanti hoon tum khud ki takleef unlogo koh ehsaas karana chaahti hai, shayad yehi ek aisa tarika hai...
Lekin meri ek baat yaad rakhna... Zyada baat koh keechna mat, agli baar woh log saamne se aakhe maafi maange toh maaf kardena...
Maine suna hai tumhe kehte huve bacchon koh...
Jo maafi maangte hai usse jo maafi dete hai uski dil bada hota hai right...' Muskaan said...
'Thank you Muski... Aaj mujhe phirse lag raha hai koi toh hai meri takleef samjhe... Armaan toh hamesha hota hai lekin uske alawa bhi koi hai toh woh tum ho...' Riddhima said...
'Ab rona dona band karo... Aaj tumhari shaadi hai... Chalo main tumhari haat main mehendi lagadeti hoon, aur tayyar bhi karti hoon...
After all tum Hero ki dulhan hai...' Muskaan said lighting the atmosphere laughing with her unique laughter...
*AFTER THREE HOURS, 1PM*
Armaan and Rahul were waiting for Riddhima and Muskaan who had take over AR room from the last three hours, when Armaan said he needs to get ready, Muskaan gave him his cloth and ask to get ready in guest room as he would not be allowed to see Riddhima before 1pm...
So not having another option, Armaan use guest room and now the guys were ready and waiting for their ladies love...
Armaan was walking around the hall checking the time and Rahul was sitting changing the channels as he keep asking Armaan to relax...
After ten minutes, Armaan call them asking to come out fast as they were getting late... His waiting came to an end when Muskaan came out, ready in a orange saree with silver design on it... She wore matching jewelry and left her hair open with minimum make up...
Armaan eyes move to Riddhima who came behind Muskaan... Looking like an angel, his angel in that sauce wala laal saree... Both hands fill with red bangles, long earrings while neck were left bare... Her hair left open like usually eyeliners, little blush on her cheeks and red rosy lips make her more beautiful then ever...
Armaan was lost in her admiring his basket while Muskaan joins Rahul as they watch the love birds lost in each other...
Armaan was wearing same matching color shirt with Riddhima saree with black jeans... As usual first three buttons undone and his silky hair coming down on his board forehead near his gorgeous blue eyes...
When neither of them stop checking each other Muskaan clear her throat to break their trace but it didn't help... Rahul did the same but it was no use...
'Rahul, lagta hai aaj dono ke shaadi nehi hone wala..' Muskaan said loudly...
'What...' Armaan asked...
'Tum dono koh ek dusre se fursat milenge tab shaadi karpaenge na...' Muskaan said laughing...
'Haan toh hum kabka tayyar hai.. Chalo jaldi chalo...' Armaan said moving towards the door...
'Ek minute Armaan... Tum kuch bhul rahe ho...' Rahul said...
'Kiya...???' Armaan asked...
'Jo tumne mujhe aaj kaha.. Remember..???' Rahul asked winking at him...
'Oh haan...' Armaan said...
Muskaan and Riddhima were looking towards the boys not understanding about what they were talking about...
Armaan move towards Riddhima taking something from his pocket, then he sit on his knee forwarding a small box towards Riddhima...
By now Riddhima and Muskaan understand what was going on Armaan mind... Riddhima was having tears in her eyes as she put her hand on her lips...
'Basket, main zyada kuch nehi bolunga...
Kyunki tum jaante ho main tumhare liyeh kitna paagal hoon...
Toh main seedhe seedhe point pe aata hoon, waise mujhe pata ha tumhari jawab phir bhi officially maine kabhi poocha nehi toh maine socha aaj kyun nehi... Waise bhi aise kaam ke liyeh kabhi fixed time nehi hote right...
So, Dr. Basket Gupta, will you marry me...???' Armaan asked opening the small box which has a beautiful yet simple ring on it, just the ring Riddhima always dream off...
By the time Armaan finished, tears were rolling down from Riddhima eyes but this time it was tears of happiness...
Riddhima forward her hand not able say anything and Armaan slip the ring in to her finger kissing on it... Armaan stood up and Riddhima hugs her hiding her face on his neck...
Muskaan and Rahul claps for them and Riddhima move out when she realized they were there too... Armaan hold Riddhima close to him kissing her temple while Riddhima wipes the tears not wanting her make up to get ruin because she cant sit another 30mins to do make up...
'Ab according the plan proposal hogaya hai toh chale... Shaadi aaj hi karna haina...' Rahul said...
'Of course Rahool, hum shaadi aaj hi karenge...' Armaan said as they move out from the house...
*REGISTRATION OFFICE*
With witness of Muskaan and Rahul, AR got married in the registration office, they exchange garlands, Armaan put sindoor and mangalsutra on Riddhima... Rahul and Muskaan congratulation to Armaan and Riddhima...
They move out from the registration office Muskaan asking what was the plan for the coming days...
'Honeymoon ke liyeh kaha jaa rahi ho...' Muskaan asked...
'Humne abhi socha nehi...' Armaan said...
'Not really like Armaan Mallik but kyun nehi socha...' Rahul asked...
'Kyunki Basket wants to go to Gupta house first before we decide anything else...' Armaan said as he hold Riddhima closed to him...
'R u sure Ridzy...???' Muskaan asked...
'Haan Muski, its an important day of my life aur badon ke blessing ke bina adhura hain yeh shaadi... Main unlogo se kitna bhi upset kyun na ho, main unlogo se apni hak toh nehi cheen sakti na...' Riddhima said...
'If u think its the best, go for it Riddhima...' Rahul said...
'Haan Ridzy, tumhe yehi sahi time lagti hai toh jao... Unlogo se milo...' Muskaan said...
'Tum log nehi aa rahi..??' Riddhima asked...
'Nehi, woh humhe ghar pe kuch kaam hai so we will wait for u guys in home okey...' Muskaan said...
'Lekin Muski...' Riddhima said...
'Lekin wekin kuch nehi...
Hero haina tumhari saat... Don't worry okey..' Muskaan said hugging them...
Muskaan and Rahul left from there taking a taxi, Armaan and Riddhima went to Gupta house from there...
*GUPTA HOUSE*
Armaan and Riddhima reach Gupta house... When Armaan stop the car in front of Gupta house, he look towards Riddhima who was sitting next to her staring towards the house... Armaan knows what must be going in Riddhima mind at the moment...
Armaan hold Riddhima hand which was resting on her lap, feeling Armaan touch Riddhima look towards him who blink his eyes telling her everything would be fine and he is with her... Armaan got down from the car and move on the other side opening the door for Riddhima...
Not moving her eyes from the house, Riddhima came out... Armaan shut the door locking the car and move towards the house but Riddhima just stood not moving a single step... Armaan look towards her but seeing Riddhima expression, Armaan knew debate were going in between her heart and mind...
Armaan move closed to Riddhima, putting his hand around her shoulder... Feeling Armaan close to her, Riddhima move her gaze to him... Armaan asked her through eyes what happen to which Riddhima shake her head as nothing... Armaan knows Riddhima was feeling nervous...
'Basket, don't worry... Sab bohot khush hogi tumhe dekh ke...' Armaan said...
'Pata nehi Armaan... Lekin jo kuch maine unlogo se kaha uske baad main kaise saamna karungi...' Riddhima said...
'Basket, maine kaha ta tumhe... Bura sapna soch ke woh sab kuch bhuljao...
Trust your Armaan, woh tumhari saat hai... Hamesha ke liyeh okey...' Armaan said holding her hand and kissing her temple...
Riddhima nodded her head knowing if she says anything more, she will start crying... Armaan squeeze her hand and both move towards the Gupta house... When they reach to the front door, Armaan look towards Riddhima asking if she was ready to face them...
Riddhima blink her eyes giving a small smile to Armaan which Armaan return with a kiss on her forehead... Riddhima close her eyes letting a deep breath as she make herself ready to face her parents... Armaan ring the bell and they waited for someone to open the door... Riddhima hold Armaan hand tight when they heard noise from the other side of the door... Armaan rabbed Riddhima arms as if telling everything would be fine...
*INSIDE IN GUPTA HOUSE*
Padma was in her room as Shashank has come back from hospital early today... Shashank was feeling very bad that his daughter didn't come back home after that day she was taken to the hospital... He knows whatever he did was wrong but he accept it and has already ask for forgiveness...
'Shashank, aap aise kab tak beitenge... Aap jaante haina Riddhima humse kitna naraz hai...
Lekin woh jaldi humhe maaf kardenge... Woh apne Papa se zyada din naraz nehi reh sakte...' Padma says...
'Padma, use naraz hone ka pura hak hai... Kuch galat nehi kaha Riddhima ne...
Lekin maine bohot galat kiya uske saat... Bohot galat... Maine ek baar nehi, baar baar yeh saabit kiya main uski Papa nehi hoon...' Shashank said...
'Shashank, aap hi Riddhima ke Papa ho... Koi kuch bhi kahe, Riddhima kuch bhi kahe... Lekin woh bhi yehi maante hai aap hi uski Papa hai... Please Shashank, aap aise tik se waqt par khana nehi khayenge aur soyenge nehi toh aap bimar padjaenge...' Padma said...
'Jab apne bacche mujhpe naraz hai toh main kaise tik se khaun, soun Padma...' Shashank said...
Just then the door bell ring and Padma went to open it wipping her tears which was falling from her eyes... Its been two nights that Riddhima hasn't come back and Padma knows today she would be getting married to Armaan... In morning Armaan came to collect her belonging and Padma knew how much upset Riddhima was with them... Somehow, Padma know she was in fault too for forcing her to agree for what her fathers decision... But how can Padma not support Shashank when he was the one to support her when she was in need of help...
Padma open the door, thinking about Riddhima and as soon as she saw who was standing in front of her, she got statue... She was unable to believe her eyes that her daughter was standing beautifully dressed in red saree, matching jewelry, sindoor on her forehead and mangalsutra around her neck...
Today, was the most important day of her life and Padma felt how unlucky she was that she wouldn't be a part of her marriage... It was her daughter demand that she don't want her family to be a part of most important day of a girl life...
'Aashirwat nehi denge beautiful...' Armaan voice broke Padma trace...
Padma look towards them as they bend touching her feet taking bless... Padma gave blesses to them as again tears form in her eyes making her view blur...
'Aap ghar pe akele ho kiya...' Armaan asked...
'Nehi, Shashank bhi hai... Andar aao...' Padma said giving space to them...
Armaan move inside leaving Padma and Riddhima, knowing they would be needing time... When Riddhima didn't move, Padma look towards her who stood with her head low... Padma wants to hug her daughter but she control herself not knowing if Riddhima would want it or not...
'Riddhima, tum andar nehi aayenge...' Padma asked...
Riddhima who stood with her head low, shake her head as no as tears started to fall from her eyes... Padma clear her eyes moving close to Riddhima touching her hair... Riddhima closed her eyes letting all those tears fall from her eyes not letting a single tear be left...
'Riddhima, yaha tak aaye ho toh andar bhi chalo...
Tumhari Papa bohot khush hogi tumhe dekh ke...' Padma said caring Riddhima hair...
'Kis hak se...' Riddhima asked...
'Riddhima... Hum jaante hai humne jo kiya woh sahi nehi ta...
Please humhe maaf kardo...' Padma said joining her hands...
Seeing Padma joining her hands in front of her, Riddhima hold her hand crying... Riddhima rest her head on Padma hands as Padma rest her head on over Riddhima head...
'I m sorry Ma... Mujhe woh sab nehi kehna chahiyeh ta...
Main bohot buri hoon... Lekin main kiya karti Ma... Bachpan se lekhe aajtak main Papa ki harbaat mani... Lekin kiya mujhe hak nehi apne zindagi apni marzi se jeene ki, apni pasand ki life partner ke saat jeene ki...
Ma, maine jo bhi kaha gusse main kaha... I didn't mean it...
Papa ne hamesha mere saat diya aur maine... Maine kiya kuch nehi boldiya Papa koh... Bohot puri hoon main...' Riddhima said crying...
'Nehi Riddhima... Tum buri nehi ho... Tum humhare acchi bacchi ho...
Bas tohda naraz hogayi ti humse, but ab sab kuch tik hojaenge Riddhima... Ek baar apne Papa se milke uske gale lago, woh tumse gussa nehi hai... Woh bohot khush hai tumhare liyeh, tumhe apne Armaan waapas milgaye...' Padma said...
'Nehi Ma, main kaise Papa ke saamne jaun...
Nehi, main... Main uske saamne nehi jaa sakte... Jo maine kaha, woh maafi ki layak bhi nehi hai...
Phir bhi mujhe pata hai Papa ne meri baat ka bura nehi maanna...' Riddhima said moving back leaving Padma hands...
'Riddhima, meri baat toh suno...' Padma said...
Riddhima turn around and move away from Padma... Riddhima was on the last step of the front door when she heard Shashank calling her, 'Riddhima...'
Riddhima stop on her track hearing her father voice... Tears were continuously falling from her eyes... Riddhima hide her face in her palms not wanting her father to see her face who had said so bad things to her father...
When Armaan tell Shashank that he had come with Riddhima, Shashank came out to hear Riddhima and Padma talking... Shashank and Armaan heard everything they said and when Riddhima refused to come in and meet Shashank, Shashank couldn't control himself knowing Riddhima was feeling guilty for what she said to him...
Shashank move towards Riddhima standing in front of her, seeing Riddhima hidding her face Shashank couldn't control himself but hugs her letting the tears fall from his eyes...
'Mujhe maaf kardo baccha... Main jaanta hoon maine tujhe force karke bohot galat kiya... Aur hamesha ke tarah mujhse jhagda karne ke baad bhi tumne maangayi ti lekin main tumhari dukh nehi dekh paye...' Shashank said...
Riddhima break the hug and look at Shashank joining her hand... Riddhima knows she also should ask for forgiveness because whatever she said it was not good...
'Papa, aap kyun maafi maang rahi ho... Maafi toh mujhe maangna chahiyeh...
Maine kitna bura bala kaha aapko... I m sorry Papa...' Riddhima said...
'Nehi Riddhima, main jaanti hoon tumne jo bhi kaha gusse main kaha...
Mujhe maaf kardo Riddhima... Tumhari Papa hote huve bhi main tumhari dukh nehi dekh paayi...
Yeh bhul gayi tumhari khushi sirf Armaan ke saat hai... I m sorry...' Shashank said joining his hands...
Father and Daughter keep crying hugging each other, Armaan and Padma stood in the entrace watching the pair knowing they are reunite... Everyone was having tears in their eyes but this time it was of happiness...
'Beautiful, pata nehi in dono koh bhuk lagi ya nehi... Lekin itna sab kuch hone ke baad mujhe toh bohot zyada bhuk laga hai...' Armaan said...
'Accha, chalo main khana laga ti hoon...
Shashank, Riddhima... Aao, khana khalo...' Padma said moving inside...
Shashank feed Riddhima while Riddhima feed her father... Armaan and Padma were admiring this father daughter couple with smiles on their face... They spend the rest of the day in Gupta house till they got a call from Muskaan asking to come home as soon as possible...
Shashank asked Riddhima if she wants to get married with all ritual and all but Riddhima don't agree because she don't want to announce it to the world with a big function... She wants only one person in her life and now she got the person with her, whatelse she more could asked for...
*ARMAAN HOUSE*
Armaan and Riddhima reach to see darkness around the house... Both were wondering what Muskaan and Rahul were upto... Asking to get home and but no lights were around the place... Armaan and Riddhima move inside and was welcome by Rahul and Muskaan...
Rahul and Muskaan have decorated the hall with orchids, white and purple curtains... Also candles were around the place as they had off every light around the place... They had got a cake 'Congratulation' written on it...

Muskaan pointed behind them, Armaan and Riddhima turn aroud to see Anjali, Nikki, Abhi and Atul standing behind them... Armaan smile while Riddhima smile fade seeing them... Not because she didn't forgive them but she was guilty about whatever she said to them...
Armaan move welcoming them and hugs them... Riddhima stood with her hand folds not looking towards them... Riddhima took a deep breath knowing she had to crash the wall which she built between them... When they were busy congratulating them Riddhima joins them...
'Sirf Armaan koh congratulate karenge, mujhe nehi...' Riddhima asked...
'Congratulations...' they said keeping the distance between them...
'This is not fair, Armaan koh gale laga ke congratulate ki aur mujhe itna thanda congratulation...' Riddhima said folding her hands...
No one said anything and Riddhima knows they were feeling awkwards seeing her behavior change all of sudden... Riddhima look towards Armaan who blink his eyes saying to go on knowing Riddhima wants everything to be normal with them like with her parents...
'Guys, I m sorry for whatever I said...' Riddhima said...

'Thanks di...' Riddhima said hugging back...
Armaan, Muskaan and Rahul were happy to see Riddhima smiling whole hearted for the first time today... Armaan knows she was very happy now that everything got solved in between her parents and friends... Soon they were partying in Armaan house with full music on...
It was kind of reunite for the gang plus AR marriage party... They dance, had food and catch up each other until it was really late... Before the gang leave, they sit to discuss about where Armaan was talking Riddhima for their honeymoon...
When Armaan told them they haven't decide yet, gang started to ask several question as it was not really like Armaan that he hasn't arrange for their honeymoon...
'Accha ab tum dono ne decide nehi kiya hai toh we got very last gift for tonight...' Muskaan said cutting them...

'Fair enough for me... Mere liyeh toh accha haina...' Armaan said and he got a smash from Riddhima...
They laugh at Armaan and Riddhima blush when they started to tease her saying she would be really happy from inside but she is not showing from out... When Riddhima continuously keep blushing, Armaan stop them knowing Riddhima would get mad on him for not saving her from them...
'Okey bohot tease karli... Ab tohda teasing session honeymoon ke baad ke liyeh save karte hai...' Rahul said...
