An Arranged Love Marriage (AR FF) #1 - Link to 2nd Thread On 1st Page - Page 19

A new day began with a new start and a new Armaan Mallik! Well wanna know why; let's peep into Mallik Mansion to know the answer.

Riddhima woke up and stretched her hands out feeling lazy. She turned around to have a look at her hubby dearest before getting down from the bed but found his side empty.

It was just 7: 30 in the morning; so no chance that he was off to work so early. His cell phone and sweat shirt were also still there which meant he wasn't out for a jog or workout! Then where did he go this early ?

Just as she was out of the blanket to get her answers; the bedroom door flung open and there stood her handsome looking hubby; looking cute than ever with his hair falling on his forehead.

R: Aap...subah subah kaha...

Her words were left hanging midway as she noticed the food trolley that he carried along as he walked in.  He removed the lid and she was amused to see fresh steamy breakfast all ready to be attacked.

A: Good morning Mrs. Mallik. Breakfast is served; so quickly freshen up and do the honours of relishing it.

R: Aapko ye sab lane ki kya jaru...

A: Tch...jao na jaldi fresh ho kar aao. Naashta thanda ho jaayega Riddhima!

He literally pushed her inside the washroom and ordered her to come out asap.

As she had the very first bite of the sandwich she couldn't help but squeal with delight as it was more than delicious.

R: Ye toh bohot yummy hai; roz toh Joseph itna yummy naashta nahi banata!

A: Hmm...tumhe pasand aaya?

R: Pasand aaya...I loved it.

She sipped her coffee and was just lost in it.

R: Ye coffee bhi aaj kuch jyaada hi yummy tasty kar rahi hai! Ya toh aaj mera mood kuch jyaada hi acha hai; ya fir ye sab dishes vakai aaj kuch jyaada hi achi bani hai. Aapko nahi lagta?

A: Hmm...alag toh hai; afterall alag insaan ne itne mehnat aur pyaar se jo banayi hai!

R: Matlab?

A: Aaj ka naashta maine banaya hai Riddhima; specially for...

Just as the words were out of his mouth she choked hard on her coffee spilling all of it out of her mouth.

R: Kyaaa?? Aa...aap...aapne ye sab...mazaak mat keejiye...sachii?

A: Haan baba sachii; actually thodi bohot cooking mujh...

R: Thodi bohot? Ye thodi bohot bilkul nahi hai. This is the best breakfast I've ever had Armaan. I don't even remember the last time; jab maine itne yummy sandwiches; aur pancakes khaye ho. And the coffee is just so refreshing!

Aap kab se khaana banana lage?

A: Umm...vo actually...main kuch saal hostel main rehta tha; toh tab I had done a small HM course.

R: My goodness; it means mere liye ghar main kaafi tagda competitor hai! Aapne mujhse ye baat chupayi kyu itne din?

A: Mujhe laga kya pata agar maine ye raaz khol diya toh tum mujhse ghar ka khaana banvane lag jao. Fir main bichara toh boora fas jaata na!

R: Haww; main aapko aisi lagti hu?

A: Hmm hmm...

R: Armaaan; theek hai aap hi khaaiye aapka ye naashta; mujhe kuch nahi khaana!

A: Theek hai; acha hi hai!

Now her jaws reached her knees as she saw him talking completely carefree engrossed in his eating. She threw the pillow angrily at far corner of bed and started walking away. But the moment she passed him she felt a tight grip on her wrist and the next moment she was in his lap.

R: Ahh...ye kya kar rahe hai aap? Chodiye mujhe; enjoy keejiye na aapka naashta!

A: Riddhima; maine ye sab specially tumhare liye banaya hai; toh tumhare begair kaise enjoy karunga main ye sab? Main toh bas tumhe ched raha tha! Kyu bina baat ghusse se laal ho rahi ho.

Chodo ghussa vussa aur mere saath naashta karlo please!

R: Par aapko ab office ke liye der nahi ho rahi?

A: Nahi; main half day se jaa raha hu.

R: Kyun?

A: Bas mera man nahi kar raha aaj office jaane ka!

R: Armaan? Aap theek toh hai na? Nahi...aapko jarur kuch ho gaya hai! Aap...aur office jaane ka man nahi kar raha! Impossible!!

He could see the smirk and narrowed his eyes at her.

A: Oye...jyaada chapad chapad mat karo; chup chap naashta karo samjhi!

R: Par...

He thusofied the sandwich in her mouth and that stifled her laugh but made him smile instead!

After an hour or so as Riddhima was getting ready; the door bell rang and she went down to open the door.

As she opened the door she could see a tall fair well built guy standing in front of her with a smile adoring his face.

R: Yes? Aap kaun?

Guy: Umm...Riddhima? Tum Riddhima ho right?

R: Jee...lekin aap kaun hai? Aur aapko kisse milna hai?

Guy: Hello Riddhima; Main Rah...umm...Armaan ka collegue hu. Use office le jaane aaya hu. Ab tak office nahi aaya. Toh socha use leta chalu.

R: Ohh...please andar aaiye na; vo upar hai. Actually vo aaj half day se aane wale the; par...aap baithiye main abhi bulakar laati  hu unhe.

Tab tak aap kuch lenge; chai, coffee ya juice?

Guy: Ab itni khubsoorat ladki mujhe coffee ke liye pooche aur main mana kardu; ye toh ho hi nahi sakta!  1 coffee please!

Vaise Armaan kaafi chupa rustam nikla; vaise toh shaadi ke liye mana karta raha; taki apni is khusoorat pari ko humse chupa ke rakh sake.

She raised her eyebrow at his flirtatious comment and walked away to call Armaan a little surprised at his collegue's behaviour.

R: Bada batameez hai ye Armaan ka dost! Main Armaan ki biwi hu ye jaante hue mere saath flirt kar raha hai; vo bhi humare hi ghar main hote hue!

R: Armaan...aapka koi collegue aaya hai! Aap neeche jaaiye; keh raha tha office le jaane aaya hai aapko.

A: Mujhe office le jaane kaun aaya hai? Aur mera toh half day hai; fir bhi ghar kyu aaya hai!

R: Mujhe kya pata; aap jaakar dekhiye na mujhse kyu pooch rahe hai?

A: Arey tum ghussa kyu ho rahi ho? Kya hua?

R: Vo...aapka collegue; bada ajeeb hai.

A: Ajeeb? Matlab?

R: Matlab kuch nahi aap chaliye neeche.

Armaan walked down a little irritated and surprised at the same time as who had the guts to come all over to his place to call him to office when he had an half day.

A: What's the matter? Jab maine kaha tha ki main half da...

The moment he saw the person who had come to call him; all his irritation and anger flew out of the window and a wide smile replaced it.

A: Abey Rahoool tu? Vapas kab aaya; aur subah subah yaha kaise?

He hugged him tightly while Riddhima who stood two steps behind was surprised by Armaan's behaviour.

Ra: Acha toh biwi kya aa gayi; ab mera yaha aana tak khatakne laga tujhe!

A: Abey chup; jyaada nautanki mat kar; par vaise tu seedhe upar kyun nahi aaya; aur ye collegue vegera kya hai sab?

Ra: Vo...vo toh teri Riddhima se pehli baar mila toh itna toh banta hi hai yaar.

A: Acha tabhi iske chehre ka rang uda hua tha!

Riddhima felt left out on some important information as they spoke about her right in front of her but still she couldn't understand what they meant.

A: Tu toh bilkul vaise ka vaisa hi hai! Bilkul nahi badla.

Ra:  Haan par tu bohot badal gaya hai; office nahi aaya kal se! Matlab ye toh hot news ho gayi yaar!

R:  Armaan ye aapke dost hai; toh fir inhone aisa kyu kaha ki...

Ra: Sorry; vo kya hai na main bas thoda ched raha tha tumko. Aur vo thodi der pehle jo bhi kaha uske liye bhi sorry.

A: Arey Riddhima don't mind; ye kameena aisa hi hai. I am sure isne tumhare saath flirt kiya hoga. But don't worry vo mazaak kar raha tha. Ye awaara roadside romeo lagta jarur hai; par hai nahi.

Ra: Abey oye; main kabse roadside romoeo lagne laga?

A: Bachpan se!

R: Main abhi aap dono ke liye coffee lekar aati hu!

Ra: Arey nahi nahi; main coffee nahi peeta; vo toh maine kaha na aise hi mazaak kar raha tha! Tum baitho na humare saath; please! Mujhe bhi toh tum dono ki love story batao.

As they sat down Rahul told Riddhima about Armaan's and his friendship right from their childhood and then how he had been away for his business to London.

R: Tabhi aap humari shaadi main bhi nahi aa paye the!

Ra: Haan exactly; par Riddhima ek request hai!

R: Haan?

Ra: Please mujhe aap mat bolo yaar; I feel like I am 50 years old. Aur atleast tum jaisi khubsoorat ladki ke saamne toh I don't want such an impression.

A: Oye nalayak jara toh sharam kar; main yaha baitha hu aur mere hi samne meri biwi se flirt kar raha hai!

Ra: Oh woow Toh matlab tere peeth peeche karu toh tujhe koi problem nahi?

A: Tu na kabhi nahi sudhar sakta!

Riddhima giggled as she very well understood by now that Rahul was just a bubbly fun loving guy; and that he was just teasing Armaan by purposely praising her every now and then in front of him.

R: Aap dono humseha se aise hi ladte hai?

Ra: Arey Riddhima tum jaanti nahi ho; ye toh kuch bhi nahi; bachpan main toh roz maar peeth karke hi ghar jaate the. Vo kya hai na; tumhare ye jo pati hai; kuch jyaada hi short tempered hai; toh ise chidhana bohot aasan hai; par ek baar agar ye chid gaya toh fir ise sambhalna namumkin hai.

R: Aur ye jaante hue aap ...

Ra: Tch fir se aap!

R: Tum...ye jaante hue bhi tum roz inhe chidhate the?

Ra: Toh main darta thodi hu isse!

A: Acha bacchu!

Ra: Aur nahi toh kya?

A: Isi liye roz bhagkar mom ke peeche chup jaata tha!

Ra: Vo...vo toh...

A: Haan haan kya ye vo kar raha hai bol na!

Ra: Vaise 1 baat bata; ye itni sweet si seedhi saadhi si ladki "tujhse" shaadi karne ke liye kaise tayyar ho gayi? Matlab tu aisa aur ye aisi?

A: Haan batata hu na... ruk saale...

He stood up from his place and the next minute Rahul was running all over the room saving his neck from Armaan.

Riddhima was amazed to see Armaan actually behaving like a school kid and bickering with Rahul after every two minutes. She could just see that they were best of friends and knew each other inside out.

Soon the lunch was served and they all sat down relishing the yummy food made by Riddhima.

Ra: Vaise Riddhima; tumhe pata hai; tumhari aur meri khub jamegi kyunki Armaan ka har chote se chota raaz mujhe achi tarah pata hai. And frankly speaking I was waiting for a day ki jab main uski biwi ke saamne uske saare raaz kholdu.

A: Uska koi faayda nahi.

Ra: Kyu?

A: Kyunki Riddhima is different; vo aise hi teri bakwaas par yakeen nahi karegi. Aur vaise bhi vo mujhe jaanti hai so she wouldn't be bothered by the things from my past; right Riddhima?

But Armaan was amazed as Riddhima shrugged her shoulder after thinking for a while. That made Rahul roll in laughter while he hi-fied Riddhima showing his thumb to Armaan.

A: Tumne itni jaldi party bhi badal li?

R: Kyu; aapke baarein main aisa kuch hai jo mujhe nahi jaanna chahie? Aur vaise bhi aap din bhar mujhe tang karte rehte hai; toh ab mujhe bhi acha mauka mila hai; toh main kyun chodu ise?

Riddhima gelled up really well with Rahul as she realized he wasn't really a flirt but a very sweet person and a very good friend. Also she loved seeing Armaan angry as she had teamed up with Rahul.

He always teased her and kept irritating her; now that she had the chance why let go? ;)
