Part-5
Ridhz was very happy to see both Armaan and Kripa. She went to greet them while others were enjoying the party and haven't spotted them yet.
Ridhz- Hey guys… good to see that you are finally here…
Armaan- Ridhz you look beautiful tonight…
Ridhz- Thanks Armaan… You both are look great tonight too.
Kripa- Thanks Ridhz, See Armaan, tumne mujhe poore raaste main ek bhi compliment nahi diya…
Armaan- Krips… Honey, you look always great… I don't have to tell you that, do I?
Kripa- Once in a while if you say that, it won't take too much time of yours…
Ridhz was listening to them and she was feeling uncomfortable because she really wanted to know if Armaan and Kripa were just friends or more… She really loved Armaan and she didn't want to suffer any heartbreak.
Kripa usually didn't flirt with Armaan but tonight she was doing it deliberately because Kasturi and Kripa made a plan that if Ridhima gets jealous of Kripa & Armaan's relationship then she would more likely to confess her feelings to Armaan because both Kripa and Kasturi knew that Armaan wasn't going to make first move as he still didn't realize that he had feelings for Ridhz…
Ridhz- Guys, let me introduce you to my family…
Ridhima went to Kashish, Kannan and Anjali first as they were talking with each other and Robbie & Kasturi were there too.
Ridhima- Hey gals, this is Armaan, Kasturi's brother and Kripa, Armaan's best friend… And this is Robbie, Kashish and Kannan…
They all said "Hello" to each other.
Ridhima- Kashish, where are my bros?
Kashish- They went to talk to some clients… They will be here soon…
Kannan- So Kripa, what do you do?
Kripa- Well I run our family business… What about you?
Kannan- Kashish and I own fashion house in Andheri… If you have heard the name, Sinha & Garewal fashion house…
Kripa- I heard of the name… Your last year's collection was very famous in London… I loved those designer saris that you guys have made…
Kannan- They all were designed by Kashish…
Kripa- Great Kashish, can you design some clothes for me?
Kashish- Sure why not? Whenever you want… just tell me…
Kripa- Thanks…
Anjali- Kripa, dosto main thanks nahi hota…
Kasturi- lekin bhabhi, wo aap ke dost hai hum to unse abhi abhi mile hai…
Robbie- Then why don't we all become friends today, what say guys?
Armaan- Great idea…
Kannan- Well, it looks like you guys will make three new friends…
Ridhz- Hey bro, I want you to meet someone…
Both Kripa and Armaan turned around as Kavya, Angad, Sujal and Nishant came there…
Armaan and Kavya smiled while Kripa, Angad, sujal and Nishant's smiles were gone…
Kripa(muttered)- Oh no… not again…
Ridhima- Kripa, Armaan this is my brother Nishant, Sujal and Angad…
Armaan- Hi, it's nice to meet you all…
Sujal- Same here… Ridhz told us a lot about you…
Nishant- Yeah, thanks for taking care of my sister in Delhi… she told us that you guys never let her feel alone when you guys were studying…
Armaan- She is my friend too…
All this time, both Kripa and Angad were staring at each other and didn't utter a word. Armaan was surprised to see Kripa quiet.
Armaan (to kripa)- honey, what happened? You haven't even said "hi" to them…
When Armaan said "honey" to Kripa, he felt something unusual. He didn't like that but he didn't know why…
Sujal- It's nice to see you again Kripa…
Kripa- Same here Sujal…
Kashish- Do you guys know each other?
Nishant- Yes we met earlier before for a business related matter?
Angad- So Miss Kripa, we met once again… I think it's destiny, isn't it?
Kripa- I would call that my bad luck Mr. Khanna…
Armaan- Wait a minute… This is that Angad Khanna…
Angad- It looks like she had told you about us…
Everyone laughed except Kashish, Kannan, Ridhima & Robbie who clearly didn't know anything…
Robbie- Why are you guys laughing? What happened between Angad bhaiya and Kripa?
Sujal narrated everything to them and everyone was laughing except Angad and Kripa who didn't think it was something funny…
Angad- It's not funny guys…
Kripa- Yeah, it's really not funny so stop laughing…
Kannan- come on guys, why don't you put that incident aside, and start a new friendship for our sake?
Armaan- Yeah Kripa, just try it for my sake…
Kripa- Well if you say so… then I will give it a chance… what do you say Mr. Khanna?
Angad- I would prefer Angad…
Kripa and Angad both had a handshake while all others were clapping…
Nishant- So it means you will also consider that deal once again kripa, right?
Kripa- We will sign the deal soon…
Kashish- That's great then we have to celebrate…
Sujal- Yeah, Robbie go ahead and tell DJ to put nice music to dance on…
Robbie went to DJ and he told him to put a slow song for couples to dance on… He did that so he can ask Kasturi for a dance…
DJ put the song "Thoda sa pyar hua hai thoda hai baki"…
Sujal, Kavya and Nishant were already on dance floor with Kashish, Anjali and Kannan, while other six were standing aside admiring them.
Robbie came forward and asked Kasturi if she will dance with him, and Kasturi said yes, so they both joined on dance floor… Now only Armaan, Ridhima, Kripa and Angad were standing there…
Ridhz was hoping that Armaan would ask her for a dance, but according to her plan to make Ridhz jealous, Kripa asked Armaan…
Kripa- Armaan, it's a really nice song… let's dance…
Armaan- Whatever you say, sweetheart…
They both joined others on dance floor and Kripa & Kasturi exchanged smiles as they had seen Ridhz a little uncomfortable while they were dancing.
Angad didn't know why but he didn't like Armaan dancing with Kripa…
He was about to get a drink when he saw Ridhima looking at dance floor with a sad face. He turned around to see who she was looking at. Ridhz was looking at Armaan who was laughing heartily as Kripa had said something funny. Kripa was smiling too.
Angad understood Ridhz instantly and he greeted his teeth as Kripa was not only making him comfortable but she was the reason Ridhima was feeling sad (obviously that fool didn't know anything about Kripa's plan).
He went to Ridhz and asked her what was going on her mind as she looked sad.
Ridhz- Nothing bhaiya…
Angad- All right, agar meri jagah Nishant ne poocha hota to tum usko bata deti, kyonki wo tumhara bhai hai main to sirf kehne ke liye tumhara bhai hoon, yahi na…
Ridhz- It's not like that bhaiya… Aap aisi baatein kyon kar rahe hai… I am not just feeling well… That's all…
Angad- Is it because Armaan is dancing with Kripa instead of you…
Ridhima looked at him surprised…
Angad- Tere chehre pe likha hai ki tu Armaan ko kitna pasand karti hai… Why don't you tell him?
Ridhima- I think he likes Kripa… And Kripa also likes him…
Angad- You assumed that but you don't know that for sure…
Ridhima- So what should I do?
Angad- When the next song starts, ask him for a dance…
Ridhima- But…..
Angad- No buts, just do it…
Soon the song was over, and everyone was back from the dance floor…. After few minutes, Angad had told DJ to put another song. DJ guy put, "Chori Chori dheere dheere ek ajnabi…"
Sujal- Lagta hai DJ is up for only romantic songs tonight…
Kavya- Well I don't mind dancing on romantic songs with my lovely wife, shall we Anjali?
Anjali- Sure…
Nishant- I like Kavya's idea and he also went with Kannan…
Kashish and Sujal followed them too…
Angad signed Ridhima to ask Armaan, but before Ridhima asked him, Armaan came where they all were standing…
Armaan- Ridhz, would you like to dance with me?
Ridhz- Yeah sure…
Kripa and Kasturi both smiled and Robbie & Kasturi joined others on dance floor… Angad & Kripa remained there alone…
Angad- Kaash mere saath bhi koi dance karne wala hota???
Kripa- Too bad Angad, you should have invited your girlfriend Tanya here… I am sure she would have been a great company…
Angad- You know a lot about my personal life, do you?
Kripa- No, it's nothing like that, wo to tum dono us din mall main itni pyaari pyaari baatein kar rahe the ki you know romance was in the air… you really liked her…
Angad- well it was nothing like that…
Kripa saw that Tanya was already in the party and was standing right behind Angad so she decided to play a game with him…
Kripa- So you were lying to her that you loved her…
Angad- I had never said, I loved her and it was just healthy flirting… She knows that too…
Kripa- But what if she loves you… what do you do then?
Angad- It's nothing… she will never take our relationship seriously… we are just friends…
Kripa- Well if you say so… by the way… turn around, I think someone will not agree with you…
Angad was confused and turned around and saw Tanya there. She was really angry and Angad knew that she had heard everything. He was irritated with Kripa…
Angad- Tanya wo main…………
Tanya- Shut up Angad, you liar, cheater… I have heard everything… I was fool that I believed you… But now I see you who you are… Never try to meet me again…
She left saying that and Angad stood there with an irritated face while Kripa was just laughing…
Kripa- I told you Angad, someone wasn't going to agree with you…
She left to grab a drink and Angad went behind her…
Angad- You knew she was behind me… but you didn't say anything…
Kripa(smiled)- If I have said anything, then I would have missed some funny moments that just happened with you…
Angad- You are impossible Kripa…
Kripa- I told you Angad, Tit for Tat… You fooled her so I just showed her your true self…
Angad(angrily)- This is not over Kripa…
Kripa- I will always ready for you Angad… You can't win against me… Keep that in your mind…
For the rest of the party, both Angad & Kripa stayed away from each other although they enjoyed the party very well.
