..::Part 15::..
Riddhima woke up with a start as she heard some sounds outside. She woke up slowly, blinking in the dim light that shone through the thin white curtains. She looked and saw Armaan, still asleep with a faint smile on his lips. She smiled as she remembered the morning she had woken him up with her wet hair, and how he had gotten up with no clothes on!
She crept upto him, slightly moving her legs from his embrace. He shifted, his eyes still closed. She bent down near his cheek, kissing him softly. Just as she moved back up, his eyes opened as he began to laugh. He grabbed her waist and pulled her over himl laughing.
Riddz: ARMAAN! Tum tho-
Ammy: Jaag raha tha! Lakein iss kiss ke liye tho main saari umar sau jaoon, sweetheart!
Riddhima rolled her eyes, laughing as she stood up.
Riddz: Bahaar awaazein kaisi hai?
Ammy: Patha nahin...
He yawned as he took his shirt from the ground. It had been dried but wrinkled. He put it on and grinned at Riddhima.
Ammy: Kaisa lag raha hoon?
Riddhima put a hand to her lip, looking him over. She sighed and waved a hand carelessly.
Riddz: Kuch khaaaas nain-!
Armaan stared at her.
Ammy: Acha?
He ran towards her. She shrieked and laughed, running away. She opened the door and stepped out under the clear blue sky. No signs of rain this morning!
Armaan laughed, running out after her. He stopped suddenly as he realized she was standing still as a stone.
Ammy: Kya hua-
He stopped talking as well. He stared, in shock, at three police cars.
Ammy: What are you guys-
The police looked at them, realizing their presence. One of them stared closely at Riddhima.
P: Is your name Riddhima Gupta, ma'am?
Riddhima looked at Armaan nervously and nodded her head.
Riddz: Uh, yes, but-
P: You gotta come with us.
He looked at Armaan.
P: And as for you, sir, you're under arrest for kidnapping this young lady.
Armaan raised his eyes in shock, as did Riddhima.
Riddz: Kidnapping me?!
P: That's the information we've recieved.
Riddz: Well, he didn't! I'm here with him with my own choice!
P: It's okay, ma'am. Don't panic. He can't harm you anymore.
Riddz: WHAT? WHO THE HECK TOLD YOU THIS?
Armaan and Riddhima stared, shocked, as someone stepped out from a black jeep. Richie!
He smiled at Riddhima and ran to her, hugging her forcibly.
Richie: Oh, babes, I'm so glad you're fine!
Riddz: CHODO MUJHE!!
Armaan stared at them in horror. He looked at the policeman.
P: Sir, what is she saying?
Ammy: I'll tell you what she's saying, officer. This man over here lied to you. I didn't kidnap her; she's my fiance!
Richie let go of Riddhima, glaring at Armaan.
Richie: He's lying! She's my fiance! We have proof! Look at her finger-
Richie stopped as he held up Riddhima's hand. She wasn't wearing his ring. He glared at her in anger.
Armaan smirked. He walked upto Riddhima. He took off his ring and held up her finger. He slid it into her finger, looking up at her. She stared at him, surprised.
Ammy: We're getting married soon. And this man over here is her ex. Guess he's not over her yet.
The police officer looked at Riddhima.
Riddz: It's true!
P: Are you sure you're not scared or something?
Riddz: I'm sure!
The police officer looked at Richie who was red in rage. The officer shrugged and rode away with the cars. Richie turned to Riddhima.
Richie: What the heck is going on, Riddhima?
Riddhima shivered under his cold glare. Armaan walked upto him.
Ammy: Woh tumse pyar nahin kerti.
Richie: YOU STAY OUT OF IT!
He grabbed Armaan's collar angrily. Riddhima stared at first but suddenly stepped on, pulling Richie's hands away from his.
Riddz: Don't touch him!
Richie: Riddhima!
Riddz: ENOUGH! Main tumhari koi business deal nahin hoon, Mr. Narayan! You only wanted me because of your lust. You liked how I looked and decided that you wanted me! You never even asked me with love if I ever loved you! All you cared was about your business!
Richie stared at her.
Riddz: Itni dher tak mujhe aisa laga jaise ki shiyad tumhi ho jise main pyar kerti hoon. Lakein main ghalat thi! Kyun ki tum apni selfishness mein kisi ko bhi chod sakte ho!
Richie: How dare you-
He raised his hand to slap her. Armaan grabbed him arm furiously, punching him hard in the face with his other hand.
Richie held his bloodied face, shocked.
Richie: YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! YOU WILL PAY!
He walked to his jeep, wiping his face. Armaan glared at him as he left. Riddhima looked up at Armaan. She ran into his embrace, crying softly.
Ammy: Aye, ms. mirch masala!
She laughed, hitting his chest playfully.
Ammy: Aaj pehli baar tumhe iss roop mein dekha. Kisi ke saath jagarte hue. Well, you know, besides with me, of course.
Riddhima laughed. He held her cheeks and stared at her lovingly.
Ammy: Yeh angooti jo tum pehni hai...
Riddhima blushed. Armaan looked around, biting his lower lip.
Riddz: Kya hua?
Armaan picked up a twig. He bent on his knees, holding out the twig.
Ammy: Mujhse shaadi karogi, Ms. Riddhima Gupta? I promise you, koi business deal tumse important nahin hogi. Simply because main business kerta hi nahin hoon!
Riddhima laughed. She raised her eyes and pretended to think about it.
Riddz: I am tired of business tycoons.
Ammy: Acha?
Riddz: Hmmm..
She laughed and held the twig in her hand.
Riddz: Tho main tumse shaadi ker laiti hoon...!
Armaan laughed. He picked her up in his arms, kissing her forehead. She laughed as she stared into his eyes. The words played,
Haan tu Hain, Hain tu Hain...
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
