Part 42
Armaan walked into the basketball court as soon he got away from the crowd...nothing was going right.. Armaan sighed.. serves me right... but now what do i do... ??
Basketball... perfect.. the one thing that could calm his mind. breakups were never difficult, why was this eating the insides of him?? Armaan thought as he missed the shot... oh yeah, shots never go in on a broken heart... everyone knows that...
still he continued.. until he finally gave up and sat down. The presentation...our efforts.. her effort... was in a couple of days.. and he knew that if this continued they would fail. she would fail.... everything seemed like a blur now..How could he fall so hard into love?? deosnt it take time for that? yet he feld so hurt.. pain never felt so strong before..
"armaan??? tum yahan???" Ritu said as soon as she entered the auditorium... "mujhe nahi pata tha ki.. u have games now..."
"oh.. hey... nahi... nahi hai..." Armaan said faintly as he watched some more girls come in from ritu's class..
"so what do u have??" ritu asked taking a seat next to him...
"pata nahi..." Armaan said finally ... he had just walked into the auditorium.... without athought.. everything was oblivious to him now... lectures, students, friends, teachers... he had no idea ...
"oh my god armaan.. " Ritu said compassionately.. just what he needed a bit of love and support... he rested his head on her shoulder..
"im sorry.. for what i did to chirag....Ritu.. and congrats... "
"its alright... and thankz... i guess everythings fair in love and war..."Ritu said holding him
"no im just... an idiot..dont let chirag go...." armaan finally managed to say..
"i wont.. and come on armaan Riddhima will come back to you.." Armaan sighed " i no ritu.... but shes too far off right now.. and look i let her cry.. i let her get hurt... i should have trusted her.. she trusted me blindly... and i .. i?? i dont know what is happening to me.. ugh i want her so bad " Armaan said..
she trusted me... she let me touch her and hold her..something she wouldnt have let anyone do... armaan thought..
" Armaan it happens.. people make mistakes... but its people like you who make love feel magical.. its people like you who make love feel like the most beautiful thing in the world... never forget that so never give up.....so now tell me what did u think of?? how are u going to get her back?" Ritu asked..
"i dont know.. i cant think of anything.." armaan fianlly said after absorbing everything she said
"nothing??" Armaan shook his head... " dont want to make it another disaster.."
"its not gonna be a disaster listen to your heart....what deos she like?? what deos she love?..... other than you..ofcourse"Armaan smiled weakly... armaan thought hard.. maybe there was something... just what?? just how? oh my god........
suddenly as realisation dawned upon him.. like an asteroid it hit him.... Ingenious... so much history... it just had to work..
"oh my god...ur amazing.. ur the best...." Armaan said sudenly waking up. and hugging her..
"ur welcome... i think... " she said watching armaan get on his cellphone again calling a million people up..
"Alright im sick of this.... deos he love riddhima or you?? what about chirag??? is he double dating??? are YOU doube dating?? Arre koi mujhe samjhao....." Karishma said after she saw armaan hug Ritu....

meanwhile in Shubhankar sir's class...
" i want you all to read the forth question... and can any of you tell me what these symtoms indicate?? and what medications might u prescribe.. but remember he deos has allergies so think first......" shubhankar said beeaming....
Riddhima on the other hand looked around... where was he?? "riddhima?? armaan kahan hai??"
"mujhe kaise pata? ask rahul..."
"oy rahul... armaan kahan gaya????" muskaan said poking rahul who for once was trying to actually figure out the answer..
"i think he went wid atul to water the plants.... " rahul whispered back to muskaan who told riddhima...
just then Atuls comes into class.. "excuse me sir.. im really sorry i was late.. actually keerti maam had called me.. "
"keerti maam?? oh no no.. no problem.... come in come in.. after all... we both are senior teachers.. we have an understanding.. it must have been important... sit sit..." Shubhankar said stummering..
the class got into a debate discussing the answer to shubhankars question...
"oy... armaan kahan hai??"
"mujhe kaise pata???hitler ke pas tha.. ab kaan gaya???" Atul said loud enough for the girls to hear....immediately riddhima and muskaan looked at one another... it wasnt like him to roam out of class widout rahul and atul.... that too on tis account.. muskaan shook her head.. indicating something horrible..
"rahul... kuch karo..." Muskaan said finally..
"kya kar sakta hoon? aur waise bhi armaan ka cell busy hai... dont worry armaan is not gonna do anything stupid... " suddenly he hesitated... what was he saying????? this was armaan they were talking bout... he could do anything..
Muskaan turned back around to look at riddhima who had a concerned look back on her face... "phone busy hai...."
riddhima frowned.. was armaan just acting all this out... to make her all worried?? but armaan couldnt.. no way he wouldnt... that wasnt the armaan we all know and love... the one she loved.. and always will.. the past two days had been hell...Her mind and heart were driving each other crazy... people around her were making it even worse.. and armaan....?? he made the situation from bad to worse..
"relax rids.. he'll be fine.... library is in a few periods....we'll meet him then...alright??"" riddhima nodded her head...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During library....
Rahul and atul went searching around for armaan..atleast thats what riddhima thought... As riddhima and muskaan sat down near the computer lounge... as they walked in they saw armaan seated wid a bunch seniors at is usual spot... armaan had the same look of depression on his face.. and riddhima as sure he hadnt been in the library the whole of the last period..
"muskaan... " ridhima said crossly " ask armaan where he had been...no through chat....." muskaan nodded..sitting back down
muskaan- armaan? where have you been??
biker.boy-if riddhima wanted to know... tell her that she can ask me herself..
"the nerve of that guy... forget it... " riddhima said studying his face from the distance... instantly she turns around and gets back to her work.. after a long time riddhima gets a PM...
Biker boy- were u really concerned?
flowers.forever124 - no.
bikerboy- ill tell you if u want to know..
Riddhima turned to face him again.. he was staring at her..infact she felt his gaze on her for the full class... but she didnt want to turn to him.. it would only she her weakness again... but now.. she couldnt take it any more his looks were killing and they were pullin her gaze as well.. his eyes shined in the light. riddhima turned away as he eyes filed up again. riddhima closed his window and went invisible.. not that it would help.. but atleast she would be offline to many other people.. even if armaan knew she was one..
bikerboy- i love you...
he was no idiot..
flowers.foreevr- where were you? from the last 4 classes?
5 minutes and the class would get over..
bikerboy- setting things right...im sorry...
no response...
Bikerboy - baby its either i chat wid you or i come to you..
he knew how to play his cards right
flowers.forever- don you dare..
bikerboy- alright fine... as i said im sorry...
flowers.forever- i dont care...
Suddenly the bell rang... perfect timing.. riddhima switched off the computer in haste... just by pressing the 'off' button..even before armaan could post a reply..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"games ke liye aa rah ho na?" muskaan asked...
"haan.. zaroor...." riddhima said walking wid her to the auditorium...
thier other classmates had probably reached by now.. and she walked slowly hoping armaan would not be there.... suddenly ... muskaan jaws dropped... this was not possible...
riddhima's gaze was drawn up.... even inside the auditorium people were staring at disbelief... Lawrence university was giving the students things to remeber... but this time... the students were giving the college things t get shocked about.. and all in the name of love too...
if this deosnt get her... nothing will.....armaan thought...
