PYAAR KA RANGIN IZHAR
An AR TS
PART 2
IN GUPTA HOUSE
Riddhima was sitting on her bed looking outside, her bed was place next to the window as Riddhima love the view outside which shows the beach side... Riddhima was sitting with her back resting on bed post with her knee close to her chest and her chin resting on her hand which was place on her knee...
Riddhima was staring outside but her mind was occupied with the scene she has witness in Mallik Mansion that night... Seeing how close and a new person Armaan was around with his family, not like the person he was being intro to the world in media...
Seeing the bond Armaan share with his Grandparents and the respect he give to his elders, new feelings started to developed in her heart for him... Riddhima was glad that she accept his friendship, but sometimes she felt the way Armaan stare at her that he has something more then friendship in his eyes for her...
Riddhima close her eyes when Armaan name came to her mind, she was trying to block him but don't know why tonight she wasn't able to stop thinking about him... When Armaan face flash in front her eyes, Riddhima open her eyes straightening her knee as she slide down flat on the bed pulling the duvet up to her chest which was over her waist...
'U r loosing it Ridz... Armaan sirf tumhara accha dost hai... Usse zyada kuch bhi nehi ho sakte hum dono ke beech...
Aur bas doh din toh huva hai tum dono milte, tum aise kaise soch sakte ho Armaan tumhe doste zyada maante hai... Really Ridz, get a life... Stop thinking so none sense, ones I get busy with work I knew I will forget him but if we are friends we arn't mean to forget each other na...
Uff yeh kaisa confusion hai bhagwaan... Plz mujhpe rehem karo aur mujhe shaanti se sone doh... Mujhe yeh pyar vyar ke chakkar mein nehi padna... Abhi mujhe bohot upar tak apne business koh lejana hai... Issiliyeh yeh pyar vyar, shaadi vaadi se mein dur hi accha hoon...'
All this was going in Riddhima mind while she was looking above at the ceiling which she has decorated with flower... Riddhima laid on side way as she look around the room as sleep was mile away from her eyes... Riddhima smile thinking how crazy she could be sometimes...
When it comes to decorate anything or anywhere, Riddhima would take the responsibility... She is perfect in her works and to make her work extra beautiful she give her magic touch on it... True their house wasn't a big one like Mallik Mansion but it was just as beautiful as Mallik Mansion with Riddhima magic touch on it...
Riddhima has personally supervise when they decorate the house and everything was just the way she suggest... Riddhima knows how much her parents and Nani loves her that they wouldn't force her to do anything... Thinking how perfect her life was as she has a loving family and friend, Riddhima was soon drown in deep slumber as again she was thinking about her new friendship with Armaan...
SUNDAY
From evening Riddhima was working in the kitchen as Malliks were going to come for Dinner... Padma and Nani try to help Riddhima but she being the stubborn one when it comes to make food, she has banned every single person from the kitchen... Riddhima let the maid help her in cutting and chopping the vegetables and other thinks she would need but when Nani and Padma keeps coming to the kitchen making one excuse or another Riddhima send the maid also out telling strictly not to let anyone come near the kitchen...
So Riddhima spend three hours and 30 minutes in the kitchen, she came out happily with a satisfied smile on her face... Padma and Nani were sitting in the hall watching television but they keep looking towards the kitchen thinking if Riddhima would be able to make dinner for so many people...
Five members would be joining from Mallik family, also Riddhima has invite her partner kam best friend Muskaan so she could give company for her and Armaan... So total it would be ten people for whom Riddhima was cooking today...
'Ma, phirse jaakar dekhte Riddhima koh help chahiyeh ya nehi... 8 bhajne wala hai, yeh ladki pata nehi aur kitna waqt lagea...' Padma said as she face her mother...
'Tum chinta kyun kar rahe ho Padma... Beti, main jaanti hoon pehle Riddhima beti ne itne logo ke liyeh khana nehi banaya... Lekin hum jaante hai woh kitni ziddi hai, bilkul apne ma aur papa ke tarah...' Nani said...
'Kya ma, main yaha pareshan ho rahi hoon aur aap ho ki...' Padma said standing up...
'Padma, beti tum phirse gaye toh Riddhima daant ke nikaldenge...' Nani said...
'Uski zarurat nehi padenge... Maine apna kaam kardiya hai...' Riddhima said coming out from the kitchen...
'Accha huva tumne apna kaam khatam kardi... Ab jaakhe tayyar hojao, tab tak main dinning table set kardeti hoon... Bas ek hour rehgaye hai un logo koh aane mein...' Padma said...
'Tik hai Ma, lekin khane koh haat mat lagana...
Papa kaha hai, woh kab tak aayenge...' Riddhima ask going towards the stairs...
'Kaha toh tah 8 bhaje tak aajaenge, woh log 8 30 aane wali hai...' Padma said...
'Muskaan beti kab aane wali hai Riddhima...' Nani asked...
'Pehle mein fresh hojati hoon, phir dekti hoon woh sherni kaha tak pocha hai...' Riddhima said as she run up the stairs to her room...
While Riddhima went to fresh up and get ready, Padma and Nani check the other arrangement before the left to get ready... After sometimes, Shashank has also come and fresh up as they wanted for the Mallik... Riddhima took a cool shower, letting her body relax as she had been working for whole three hours...
Riddhima took 30 mins long shower and came out with a towel around her mid body leaving her hands and legs bare... Water drops was falling from her hairs to her bare shoulder and arms... Riddhima move towards her wardrobe as she stood in front of it thinking which color suits should she wear today...
Riddhima stood looking at the collection of her dresses when her mobile started to ring... Without looking at the caller, Riddhima answer the call with a lost voice...
'Itna kya soch rahi ho...' Riddhima heard a male voice from the other side...
Riddhima was surprise when the person get to know she was thinking... Riddhima move the mobile away from her ears and check the caller ID to see Armaan name showing on it... Smile form in her lips as her cheeks color change but she control herself...
'Tum, kuch kaam ta...' Riddhima asked...
'Kyun, main apne dost se bina kaam ki call nehi kar sakte kya...' Armaan said...
'Maine aisa kab kaha, tum toh tohdi der mein aane wale ho na... Aise koan si baat hai jo tum aakar nehi bata sakte...' Riddhima said as she took out a baby pink salwar suit...
'Actually main yeh batane ke liyeh call ki mujhe aane mein tohdi der hojaenge...' Armaan said...
'Kyun...' Riddhima asked but she bit her tongue as she felt how desparate she sounded while asking why...
'Kyunki mujhe ek important kaam hai issiliyeh... Waise I know u would miss me but don't think I wouldn't coming... I will but a little late...' Armaan said...
'Kuch bhi Armaan, main kyun tumhe miss karne laga... Waise bhi buddy aane wala hai, tumse toh accha woh hai...' Riddhima said...
'Really now, tik hai phir toh main aaunga nehi... Tu buddy koh company doh, bye...' Armaan said...
Riddhima smile hearing Armaan childish talks and cutting the call... She knows Armaan would come so not bothering to call him back, Riddhima went to get change her dress... After few minutes Riddhima was standing in front of the mirror, drying her hair while smiling thinking about the conversation she had with Armaan...
Riddhima put eyeliner and lips gloss as she let her hair open to dry it naturally without the hair dryer... When she was ready, she got her mobile to call Muskaan... Before she could dial Muskaan number, she heard some voice from downstairs... Riddhima understood she must have come and not seeing her she would come directly to her room...
Riddhima started to count while she was putting her files and other belongings in their respective places... She knows exactly she say one, Muskaan would make her entry like always... She was now used to Muskaan coming bang in her room without knocking and she believe that Muskaan didn't need to do that because she is always welcome any time in this house and specially in her room...
'Ridzzz...' Muskaan came and hugs Riddhima as tight as she could while spinning around hugging her...
'Muski, kya kar rahe ho...' Riddhima said trying to get out from the hug but Muskaan was holding her too tight...
'I m so happy Ridz, I don't believe main aaj the famous artist AM se milungi...' Muskaan said...
'Sorry to brush ur bubble Muski but woh shayad aayenge...' Riddhima said...
Next moment Muskaan let go off Riddhima who let a relief breath when she got free from Muskaan hold... Riddhima move towards the bed as her dupatta was kept on the bed... Muskaan move behind her and make her sit as she sit facing her...
'What do you mean shayad aayenge... Sab aaj aane wala haina dinner ke liye aur woh achanak mana kyun kya...' Muskaan asked...
'Oh common Muski, maine toh issiliyeh kaha kyunki u was holding me so tight...
Aur tum chinta mat karo, aaj main tumhe tumhari Mr. AM se milwaungi okey...' Riddhima said...
'Toh aise kehne ke kya zarurat... I mean tum seedhe seedhe nehi bol sakte chodne koh...' Muskaan said..
'Really now, Jab tum excite hote ho toh kabhi tum dusron ke baat sunte kab ho Muski...
Aur mujhse zyada koi tumhe nehi jaan sakte Muski...' Riddhima said...
'Haan haan pata hai kyunki hum bachpan se dost hai aur best friends...
Lekin kuch toh reason hoga na tumne aisa kaha woh shayad aayenge...' Muskaan said as she was not willing to leave the matter because she felt Riddhima was hiding something...
'Tum maanonge nehi na...' Riddhima said...
'Haan, kyunki jitna tum mujhe jaante ho, utna main bhi apne best friend koh jaanti hoon...' Muskaan said hugging Riddhima...
'Right, actually uska call aaya tohdi der pehle... Kaha kuch kaam ki wajahse usko der hoga...
Phir usne kaha he knows I will miss him but don't think he wouldn't come because he would come...' Riddhima said...
'Toh phir tumne kyun kaha woh shayad nehi aayenge..' Muskaan again repeat the question...
'Kyunki maine kaha main kyun usko miss karne laga, buddy means uske dadu aane wala hai aur woh usse acche hai... Meri yeh baate sunke woh bacchon jaise kaha tik hai, buddy koh company doh woh ab nehi aayenge hehe...' Riddhima said...
'Matlab woh sacchi mein nehi aane wala...' Muskaan asked...
'Oh ho, woh bas aise bola... Aisa ho sakta hai usko moka mile mujhe irritate karne aur woh na aaye... I m sure woh zarur aayenge...' Riddhima said...
'Itna barosa...' Muskaan asked...
'Dosti toh barose ke umar built hoti hai right... I know bas ek week huva hai but he is a nice guy...
Woh apne gharwalo se sabse zyada apne dadu and dadi se bohot pyar karta hai aur respective bhi... Armaan bilkul waise nehi hai jo yeh media wale kehte rehte hai...' Riddhima said...
'Tum Armaan koh pasand karne lagi haina Ridz...' Muskaan said as Riddhima was telling about Armaan with a smile on her face and lost in his thought...
Hearing Muskaan sudden question Riddhima look towards her... Riddhima replay the conversation which she was just having with Muskaan a few seconds before... Some where in her heart, Riddhima was now a days thinking about Armaan and his family a lot... She knows she felt some connection to them and specially with Armaan which was still unknown to her...
Riddhima was safe from Muskaan as Padma call then downstairs informing Malliks has come... Riddhima check the time and it was 8 21 pm and she remember her father telling how punctual Malliks are but she had seen it today only...
'Chalo mein tumhe sabse mila ti hoon...' Riddhima said standing and moving out without giving Muskaan a chance to say or question about her feelings for Armaan...
Riddhima and Muskaan came down to see everyone sitting in the hall as Dadi and Nani was talking, Padma and Nandini talking to each other while Karan, Dadu and Shashank busy in their own discussion... Riddhima first move to Dadu and Karan, taking bless from them she introduce Muskaan to them...
Then Riddhima move to Dadi and Nandini, taking bless by touching their feet she introduce Muskaan to them as well... They sit for sometimes and Riddhima excuse to go and check the arrangement for dinner... Padma try to go and help her but Riddhima deny saying Muskaan would help her...
Letting the elders enjoy and catching up with each other, Riddhima and Muskaan move dinning table to do the remaining work before they call others for dinner... Muskaan help arranging the plates and glasses while Riddhima bring the dishes from the kitchen and arrange it nicely on the table...
It was pass 8 30 by the time they settle the table, Riddhima check the time and call Armaan but he wasn't answering her calls... Riddhima was wondering if Armaan really wouldn't be coming tonight... She call everyone for dinner and serve them as Karan was calling Armaan who wasn't answering...
IN MALLIK MANSION
After calling Riddhima, Armaan came directly home... He said he wouldn't be going but he knows everyone would be waiting and questioning him if he didn't go... When Riddhima gave more interest to his Dadu then him, he felt bad but he knows Riddhima was kidding...
Armaan move to his working room holding a big box and closed the door locking it... Armaan was working from an hour now unaware that Riddhima and Karan had been calling him... When Armaan was done with his work, he stood facing to the wall as his dimple smile was on his face...
Armaan didn't know how long he stood staring at the wall, he felt everything was perfect in his life now and to make it more perfect then this he has to wait for some more time... Armaan just keep staring at the wall when someone knock the door... He move to check who it was, as Armaan came out he saw servant standing...
'Sir, aapke liyeh Karan Sir ka call aaya hai...' Servant said...
'Dad ne mere mobile pe call kyun nehi kya...' Armaan said loudly as he wonder...
'Karan sir ne kaha aap apne mobile answer nehi kar raha issiliyeh yeh check karne ke liyeh call kya aap ghar pa ho ya nehi...' Servant said...
Hearing him, Armaan check his pockets for his mobile but he couldn't find it and then he remember he has left it in the car as he was carrying the box all the way to his working room... After that he got so busy that he didn't remember his mobile wasn't with him all this time...
'Oh okey, I will call him back...' Armaan said as he run towards the main door to go back to his car...
Armaan check his mobile to see several missed call from Riddhima and Karan... Seeing Riddhima calls, smile form in his lips as he knew why Riddhima must have call when he has been late 40 minutes as he said he would be a few minutes late...
Sending a msg to Karan telling him he was on his way and reach in no time, Armaan started to drive thinking how Riddhima would react once he go in front of her tonight... Armaan knows she must be worried thinking he got serious with her words but Armaan didn't realized as he was so much in to his work...
Armaan reach in 20 mins and he check himself in the mirror before getting out from the car... He run his hand in his hair as he smile thinking about Riddhima expression... Soon Armaan was standing in the front door ringing the bell as he wanted for someone to open... Armaan felt it would be Riddhima as he had been late for dinner so others must be already having dinner without with...
Armaan smile got wide when the door open but his smile fade seeing a girl in a kurta and jeans with her curly hair tie in a ponytail with a scarf, showing her whole set of teethes as her eyes sparkle with excitement... Armaan just look at her from head to toe and back to her face wondering if he was in the right place...
It was none other then Muskaan who open the door to welcome the super hot and dashing artist in the country who all the girls drool over including her... Muskaan wonder how she never knew about him before because now she was engage to another guy who she is head over heel in love with from collage days...
Just like Armaan did, Muskaan also look at him from head to toe as she was lost in him like every girl do whenever they first meet Armaan personally... Armaan rarely meet his fans, that too when he organized exhibitions to show his paints and drawings...
Both was staring each other as Armaan was feeling uncomfortable seeing Muskaan checking him out shamelessly... Riddhima came to see why Muskaan was taking so much time to see Muskaan lost in Armaan and Armaan looking everywhere else avoiding Muskaan gaze...
Riddhima press her lips controlling her smile seeing Armaan helpless expression seeing Muskaan staring at him as if he is something very interesting... Riddhima was glad that Armaan came as she thought Armaan take her words seriously but it seems like he was really busy with some work...
'Armaan, tum aagaye... Waha kyun khade ho, andar aajao...
Sab tumhara inthizar kar raha ta...' Riddhima said coming to Armaan rescue from Muskaan...
'Hi Riddhima, woh main soch raha ta main sahi ghar mein aagaya hoon ya nehi...' Armaan said as Riddhima pull Muskaan side to let Armaan inside...
'Bilkul sahi ghar pe aaye ho tum Armaan... Woh mein sabko serve desert serve kar rahi ti issiliyeh maine Muski koh kaha darwaza kholne koh...' Riddhima said nudging Muskaan to bring her back from her dream land seeing Armaan Mallik standing in front of her...
'Oh toh yeh hai tumhari partner kum best friend... Nice to meet you Muski, I hope u don't mind calling me that...' Armaan said flashing his dimple as he forward his hand for handshake...
'OMG, so sorry Armaan... Its just like a dream to meet you face to face, being the famous dashing and ho..' Muskaan was cut as Riddhima pinch her arms stopping her from blabbering so much compliments to Armaan knowing how Armaan would start flirting with her seeing how crazy fan Muskaan was of his arts...
Muskaan look at Riddhima with a frown understanding why she pinch her and Armaan saw this but he ignore it... Riddhima look at Muskaan giiving fake smile before he face Armaan... This time Armaan press his lips seeing Riddhima expression hearing her best friend giving compliments to him...
'Chalo Armaan, baaki sabne dinner karliya hai...
Bas hum teeno rehgaye hai...' Riddhima said cutting their conversation...
'Of course, mujhe bohot bhuk lagi hai... Chalo jaldi, pata hai Armaan... Aaj saara khana Ridz ne banayi hai... Ridz is one of the best cook in the world... Main toh koi bhi moka nehi chodti hoon when it comes to food cook by Ridz and Padma aunty...' Muskaan said as she move towards the dinning area hearing about food...
Riddhima smile hearing Muskaan praising her cook just like others did a while ago... Everyone has been praising Riddhima cook as soon as they started the dinner... Even the Malliks were enjoying so much that Dadi and Nandini had to stop Dadu and Karan eating before they finished all the food... When Riddhima mention about dessert, Dadu and Karan happily finished their dinner so they could have desert...
So now as elders were enjoying the dessert in the hall, Muskaan in dinning table ready to attack the food, Riddhima took Armaan inside... Before going to the dinning area, Armaan and Riddhima move to the hall so Armaan could greet Shashank, Padma and Nani...
Elders were busy enjoying the dessert, they didn't see Armaan and Riddhima coming... Dadi was about to have a bite from chocolate cake with ice cream on top of it but Armaan move from her behind and hold her hand as he took the bite before his dadi could have it...
Armaan sudden present make everyone look towards him and seeing his action, they smile knowing how closed Armaan is with every person in his family... Riddhima also smile seeing Armaan hugging his Dadi after eating the dessert...
'Aagaye tu, kitni der laga diya...' Dadi said as Armaan hugs her from behind...
'Haan woh kaam mein busy hogaya toh waqt ka pata nehi chala...' Armaan said kissing Dadi cheek...
'Tumhare phone koh kya huva buddy...' Karan asked...
'Sorry dad, woh mein car mein bhul gaya issiliyeh pata nehi chala aapne call kiya...' Armaan said as he move to Nani...
'Jeete raho...' Nani gave him blessing as he touch his feet...
Armaan took blessing from Shashank and Padma as well, Padma ask Riddhima to go and have dinner... As Riddhima was about to leave, Dadu call her asking if he could get more of dessert... Armaan deny knowing Dadu sugar may go high if he don't be careful, even Riddhima agree with Armaan and said sorry to Dadu who make a sad face...
Soon Armaan and Riddhima was having dinner with Muskaan... Armaan and Muskaan was talking about Armaan works as Riddhima sit listening to them... Muskaan also praise Riddhima for the delicious food which Armaan agree that she was really an awesome cook... Specially the dessert was the best after those yummy and spicy foods just like cherry on top to make everything perfect...
After dinner, they were sitting in the garden enjoying the dessert as elders where busy in their own conversation... Armaan and Muskaan team up against Riddhima as Riddhima was no interest in talking about arts... Muskaan has seen Armaan work and she always love it but Riddhima didn't find anything interest in those paintings...
'Oh common, I know what nice and not okey... I agree u paint good when it come to picture of family and all... Landslide, natural stuff like flower, birds and animals but those paints which shows nothing but some mixed color doesn't make any picture...' Riddhima said...
'That's what artist talent are mean to be Riddhima... People who has good sense of humor would understand whats behind in those paints... Now see Muski, she loves every single painting...' Armaan said as he high five with Muskaan...
'What do you mean by that Armaan, I don't have a sense of humor... Don't forget I m a party planner, if I don't have a good sense of humor, I wouldn't have those perfect idea's in my work...' Riddhima said...
'Thats a different matter Ridz, when it comes to design and decoration, yes we agree u r the best...' Muskaan said...
'Yeah but to understand a piece of art, u should have a good sense of humor which u don't have...' Armaan said...
Riddhima was surprise to see how both were team up against her and irritating her to the core... Armaan was loving Riddhima expression was the reason that he was purposely irritating Riddhima with Muskaan who was gladly supporting him everything he was saying...
Riddhima look at them as they roar with laughter holding their tummy seeing Riddhima mouth slightly open with their comment about not having a sense of humor when it comes to art... Decoration and design are also a part of art but they were having so much fun by making Riddhima make those expression they couldn't help but tease her...
'Muh band karo Riddhima...' Armaan said as he control his laugh...
'Sach mein Ridz, ur expression is worth to watch...' Muskaan said...
Riddhima smash Muskaan arm to make her stop laughing but her laugh increase seeing Riddhima fake angry face as Riddhima glare at her... Armaan wasn't less then Muskaan as he also continue laughing holding his stomach...
'Muski, tu meri friend ho ya uski... Yeh accha hai, nayi dost mile toh purane dost koh chod diya...' Riddhima said complaining...
'Awww, aisa kabhi ho sakta hai main apni best friend koh chod de...' Muskaan said...
'Right, issiliyeh is paagal ke saat mujhpe has rahe ho...' Riddhima said as she stood up holding the empty plates...
'Arey Ridz, tum toh sacchi mein naraz hogayi... Hum toh mazak kar rahi ti bas...' Muskaan said following Riddhima inside as she went to the kitchen to put the plates in the sink...
Armaan also follow them as elders were still busy in their conversation... Riddhima ignore Armaan and Muskaan as she started to wash the dirty plates and dishes... Muskaan try to help her but Riddhima didn't let her... Muskaan got a call from her mother and she said she was coming as it was getting late...
'Main chodun...' Armaan asked..
'So nice of u Armaan, but I m a big girl and I have my own car...' Muskaan said..
'I know u are a big girl Muski, but itni raat koh akele jaana not safe for a girl like you who is beautiful...' Armaan said winking at her...
'Thanks for the compliment Armaan but its really okey... Just five minutes ke duri par hai meri ghar, so no problem...' Muskaan said...
'Pakka na...' Armaan asked...
'100% sure Armaan... Thanks for the concern...' Muskaan said...
Riddhima was standing with her back towards them but smile seeing Armaan concern towards Muskaan... Riddhima felt nice knowing how much Armaan care for everyone who is close to him and who he loves... Muskaan hugs Riddhima from behind and kiss her cheeks wishing her goodnight and saying she would see her in office... Riddhima also wish her but in a low voice telling them she was still upset with them...
As Muskaan was getting late, she left thinking she would talk to Riddhima next day... Muskaan left Armaan and Riddhima alone and she wish the elders on her way out from Gupta house... Riddhima continue doing her work while Armaan stood next to her with his back on the counter...
'Tum sach mein naraz ho...' Armaan asked as Riddhima continue working with giving him any attention...
'Kyun, kya fark padta hai... Tum toh bohot has raha ta na...' Riddhima said...
'Common Riddhima, hum toh bas mazak kar rahi ti...
Waise I agree with Muski, u r an awesome cook as well as one of the best planner...' Armaan said...
'Really now, tohdi der pehle toh Muski ke saat milke meri mazak bana rahi ti...' Riddhima said...
'Haan toh mazak ta na... Waise I m sure ghar ke design bhi tumne kya hoga...' Armaan said looking around the kitchen...
'Aur tumhe aisa kyun laga...' Riddhima asked...
'Kyunki tum har kaam perfect karte ho issiliyeh...' Armaan said...
Riddhima smile hearing Armaan compliment and she dry her hands in cloth facing him... Armaan gave his best smile to her and Riddhima felt to poke his dimple at the moment... Riddhima was thinking how handsome Armaan look with his dimple...
'Maine toh kitchen and hall dekhlia, apni kamre nehi dikhaenge...' Armaan asked...
'Hmm sochti hoon...' Riddhima said moving towards the fridge taking water bottle and drinking from it...
'Apna itna sochna kya hai usmein madam, mein toh tumhari dost hoon na...' Armaan said...
'Toh, har dost koh kamre dikhana zaruri hota hai kya...' Riddhima asked...
'Maine aisa kab kaha lekin mujhe toh dikha sakte hona...' Armaan said making a cute pout...
Riddhima didn't feel to say no to him but she was thinking if he could like or not... Her house wasn't big one like Armaan house, not even the rooms are big... Then Riddhima think if Armaan like the parts of the house she has already seen, why wouldn't he like her room... It wouldn't mind if its big or small as he wouldn't be coming to stay in her house...
'Itna kya soch rahe ho... If u r not comfortable, its okey...' Armaan said...
'Aisa kuch nehi hai, chalo...' Riddhima said leaving the kitchen...
Riddhima took Armaan to her room, she let him in and Armaan just admire how beautiful it was... Big window with bed next to it, table next to the bed where several papers and files neatly arrange... On left side wardrobe with another door which may lead to washroom...
One wall was covering with picture of Riddhima and her families, even Muskaan and Riddhima picture was also with other frames from childhood to till collage graduations... Armaan look at Riddhima childhood picture admire how cute she was looking... Riddhima saw Armaan looking at her childhood picture and she was glad that she remove some pictures few days before...
Seeing Armaan was watching her picture so interestingly, Riddhima move his side and stood looking at her pictures too... When Armaan didn't move his gaze away from her pictures and Riddhima also didn't say anything letting him have a good...
'U look cute in childhood...' Armaan said...
'Matlab ab cute nehi hoon...' Riddhima asked...
'Nehi, abhi cute nehi ho...' Armaan said still looking at the pictures...
Riddhima smile fade as sad expression appear in her face thinking Armaan didn't find him cute or beautiful... Riddhima don't know why but she felt bad for the first time with Armaan's word... Riddhima eyes moist with small tears, to hide it from Armaan she turn to go but Armaan hold her wrist...
Armaan look at Riddhima moving his gaze away from the pictures... Riddhima was standing with her face other side not looking at him and Armaan knew she felt bad with his words... Armaan move his face close to her ear and with Armaan sudden step Riddhima felt goosebumps in her skin as his hot breath touch her earlobe...
'because u r the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life after Dadi and Mom...' Armaan whisper huskily as his lips brush on Riddhima earlobe making her shiver...
Feeling Armaan lips care her earlobe, Riddhima eyes automatically got closed as she fist her palms trying to control unknown feelings in her body... Armaan turn her face towards him with his hand on her cheek, Riddhima open her eyes feeling Armaan hand on her cheek... As soon as she look at him, both was lost in each other eyes trying to read what they got for in each other eyes...
Armaan was losing his control as his eyes met with her green orbs... It was those eyes which he falls in love with the moment his orbs met with it... Armaan eyes move to Riddhima lips and back to her eyes as her breath was getting heavier due to the proximity...
Armaan and Riddhima face were inch away, both was trying to understand those feelings which was making a havoc in their body as they stood so closed to each other... Neither of them want to move away but also they didn't move closer then they are now... Both was sharing beautiful eye lock, forgetting about the world...
'Riddhima beti...' Padma call...
Armaan and Riddhima moment was break with Padma who was calling Riddhima... Riddhima run out from the room but before going downstairs, she control her fast breath and rub her cheeks which has turn pink shade... Armaan stood looking at Riddhima figure which just left the room, he run his hand on his hair closing his eyes trying to understand what has just happen...
'Control buddy, u r moving so fast...' Armaan said to himself as he let a deep breath before going out from the room...
Everyone was waiting for Armaan and Riddhima, as it was late they decided to leave... Before leaving, they wanted to meet Riddhima and thank her for the delicious foods she has cook specially for them... Thats the reason Padma call Riddhima as she has seen Riddhima going upstairs with Armaan...
Riddhima came down followed by Armaan, Riddhima move to Dadu hugging him knowing they were leaving now... Armaan smile seeing how easily Riddhima has make place in everyone hearts as Riddhima hugs one by one bidding bye to the Malliks...
'Thank you beti... Khana bohot accha ta...' Dadi said...
'Beti bolte ho aur thank you bhi... Yeh kya baat huvi Dadi...' Riddhima said...
'Pata nehi na phir kab tumhare haat ki khana khane koh milenge...' Dadi said...
'Itni si baat pe aap mujhe thanks bolenge Dadi... Aapko itna pasand aayenge toh main zarur dubara aap sabke liyeh banaungi...' Riddhima said...
'Yeh bohot acchi baat hai beautiful... Lekin next time tum humhare ghar aakhe bana na okey...' Dadu said...
'Of course buddy, aapne bhulaya aur main na aaun... Aisa kabhi ho sakti hai main mana karungi...' Riddhima said...
Making Riddhima agree that soon she would be coming to Mallik Mansion, Malliks left bidding bye to everyone... All this while Armaan was just watching Riddhima but when everyone started to move, he always wish everyone goodnight and left with his family... Gupta's were happy to spend sometimes with Mallik after months as they hardly get time being busy in their work... Also they were happy to see Armaan and Riddhima getting along very well with each other...
5 MONTHS LATER
Life was going with new feelings developing in between two hearts but still they were trying to understand the real meaning behind those words... In last five months Armaan and Riddhima has come very closed that they share everything and anything with each other...
Their morning start with wishing each other and end as the same way after having a long chat through the phone... Both share their daily routine from work to personal moments share with their families... Riddhima has successfully make her place in everyone person in Mallik family and same goes with Armaan...
Armaan and Riddhima keep visiting and have been meeting each other as much time as they get... In last five months it has been very busy for both of them as Riddhima company got several projects for weddings and parties plan... Also Armaan has arrange another exhibition at the starting of the year with his new thoughts of arts to share it with the whole world which give him an opportunity to attend one of the famous Artist in London...
Armaan and Riddhima spend their first New Year together before Riddhima leaving out of station for her work as she has to plan a wedding which took her a week to be away from both family and Armaan... Riddhima miss her stay in Goa as the wedding was planning in there but she knows spend those days thinking it was just a matter of a week...
After Riddhima finished her work, she return but to her disappointment she came to know that Armaan was leaving to London for a week... It was their first separation after their friendship and both was thinking how they are gonna spend almost two weeks without meeting each other...
The night Riddhima came back from Goa, Armaan was already in the flight on his way to London... So they just talk through the phone as they couldn't be meeting before Armaan left... That night, Riddhima felt for the first time that how much Armaan means to her in a short path of time they had become friends...
Due to being in different profession, both were not getting time to spend with each other as the starting of the year is always a busy time for Riddhima... Projects were knocking on their company door as weddings were fixed in these coming two months of the new year...
Armaan was planning to do something for Riddhima on Valentines day but luck wasn't with them as Riddhima had to go Delhi for a wedding plan... Muskaan also was going with Riddhima this time as they had got two offers in Delhi from different families...
Armaan and Riddhima hasn't been really getting time to meet each other due to Riddhima traveling different part of the country due to her work... So Armaan thought that in Holi time he has to do something that Riddhima be in the same city with him... Knowing only to let her plan holi function would keep her from going out of city or country...
Armaan had a discussion about it with Karan who happily agree because even the Malliks was missing Riddhima but they understand how much her works mean to her... If she would give happiness to anyone, she wouldn't let the opportunity go out from her hand...
So as soon as Riddhima came back from Delhi, Karan invite her to meet him in his office as he wanted to talk her about something related to business... Riddhima gladly agree to meet him and when she came to know about what the offer he has for her and her company, Riddhima was all set to give her best arrangement for them in Holi day...
Riddhima inform Muskaan the moment she was out from the Mallik Enterprize so that Muskaan wouldn't take another project as Karan asked to make sure Muskaan also come to their Holi celebration so they could spend sometimes with both girls who are like their daughters...
After calling Muskaan and finalizing everything with her, Riddhima asked to meet her at night in Gupta house to discuss about the plan for Holi in Mallik Mansion... Then she call Armaan who answer in first ring as if he was waiting for her call from god knows how many days...
'Finally, u got time to call me...' Armaan complain...
'I know, but what to do... I had an appointment with one of my clients as soon I landed back in the city...
U know I don't like to avoid my work as its always my first priority right after my family...' Riddhima said...
'No need of giving explanation Riddhima, I very well know which client u was meeting...
Tumhe kya lagta hai Dad would hide anything from his only son... That too when the idea was mine...' Armaan said...
'I knew it, toh phir khud call ke mujhe nehi bata sakti tum...' Riddhima asked...
'Nehi, kyunki mujhe toh milna hai tumse but at the last minute I had a meeting with someone else...
Waise I m sure u must be free now so can we meet for lunch in ur favorite restaurant...' Armaan asked..
'Umm, not a bad idea actually... Lets meet in an hour then if its okey with you...' Riddhima said as she sit in her car...
'Superb, I will see u in an hour... take care...' Armaan said...
'You too, see ya...' Riddhima said ending the call as she started to drive her home...

'Sirf Nani se milenge kya, apne Ma koh miss nehi kya...' Padma said as she has come out from the kitchen the moment she heard Riddhima scream...
Riddhima look at Padma as she stood with a fake pout on her face... Nani and Riddhima smile seeing Padma expression, they always complain whenever Riddhima meet the other first forgetting the other... Riddhima stood up and move to Padma hugging her tied and shaking her side to side...

Padma and Nani smile seeing how happy Riddhima was from last few months after meaning Armaan... They like Armaan as a good human been and they were happy to see their friendship getting stronger months by months...
'Yeh bacche bhi na, hamesha last minute mein plan banate hai...' Padma said...

'Haan yeh bhi sahi hai, chalo ma.. Aaj bhi hum dono rehgaye ek dusre koh company dene ke liyeh... Main khana lagati hoon, aap aajao...' Padma said...
IN MALLIK MANSION
Armaan was getting to go and meet Riddhima after another whole week being away from each other... Armaan was glad to know from Karan that Riddhima agree to plan holi function for them as Malliks would be inviting their employees, friends and some business clients like they always do...
Karan has talk with his parents and Nandini about the plan which they happily agree knowing Riddhima would be arranging and be with them in this holi... It will be their first holi with Riddhima and they were happy to have her in a special occasion...
Armaan was so desperate to meet Riddhima that he forgot to inform Nandini he wouldn't be having lunch in home... Armaan quickly got ready and run down to meet Nandini in the hall who was going to send tifin for Karan to the office as he just call telling he wouldn't be able to come home for lunch...
'Mom, I m going out...' Armaan said hugging her...
'Lekin lunch...' Nandini asked...
'Main baahar se karlunga mom, I m getting late...' Armaan said...
'Riddhima se milne jaa rahe ho...' Nandini asked seeing how happy Armaan was today...
Armaan smile giving his best million dollar dimple smile as he kiss her cheek... Nandini got her answer and she just patted Armaan cheek knowing no one can stop those two from meeting each other that too when they hasn't meet for a week...
'Riddhima se milne jaa rahe ho toh uske saat kaam ki baat hi karlena...' Nandini said...
'Koan si kaam...' Armaan asked...
'Tumhara shaadi ka...' Nandini said to irritate him...
'What...' Armaan asked as he stop at the entrance...

'Oh ok, yeah I will help her don't worry... Bye mom, I m getting late...' Armaan said leaving and Nandini smile seeing how Armaan expression change from shocked to relief when she told her what work she was talking about...
RESTAURANT
Armaan was waiting for Riddhima from last 20 minutes, knowing Riddhima favorite food and drink Armaan has already order for them and ask the waiter to bring it when his friend come... To kill the time, Armaan was playing with his mobile as he keeps looking at Riddhima picture which was capture in different meeting and occasion...
Armaan stop flipping the picture when he saw Riddhima picture on New Year... She wore a dress which goes down to her knee with her dress hugging her upper body with a small sleeve on it leaving her hands bare... She was looking gorgeous in that red dress which has design done over the chest part...
Armaan was admiring Riddhima pictures as she look so gorgeous with open hair, eyeliner and lip gloss as only make up with earring and a single bracelet in left hand... She wore high heels and that night she was looking as if someone else as Riddhima usually wear salwar suit only and traditional dress in parties...
Armaan was busy admiring Riddhima when he felt Riddhima present... Suddenly winds started to blow giving the feeling of Riddhima coming close to Armaan, Armaan close his eyes as Riddhima smiling face came in front of his eyes... Seeing Riddhima smiling face, smile form in Armaan lips as he slowly open his eyes to see Riddhima entering the restaurant wearing a white salwar suit looking gorgeous as ever...
On the other side, for the first time in last five months Riddhima was feeling nervous to meet Armaan that too when she reach outside the restaurant... Don't know why but her heart was beating fast today as if she was not meeting his as a friend but more then a friend...
Last one week being away from Armaan, Riddhima has realized that Armaan was more then a friend to her... Riddhima has been thinking about Armaan a lot in few days and if he would take her more then a friend or not... With his actions and behavior sometimes Riddhima feel that Armaan also like her or maybe it was love...
Controlling her feelings which was making a havoc in her body, Riddhima close her eyes and let a deep breath before entering the restaurant... Riddhima was hoping that she didn't do something that she would feel awkward later... Riddhima look around to get lost in Armaan who was sitting looking towards her with something different in his eyes...
Riddhima look at him to see how handsome he was looking in a week time, maybe because of the white shirt he was wearing and black jeans make him dashing and smart... Riddhima felt her cheeks burn realizing what she was doing, she move her gaze away from him very well knowing his gaze was still fixed on her as she move towards him with a smile on her face...
Armaan who was lost in Riddhima was smiling looking how beautiful she was looking... As their eyes met for sometimes, Armaan felt Riddhima was searching something in his eyes... Seeing Riddhima breaking the eye lock, Armaan smile got wide getting a clue that somewhere deep down in her heart, she also have feelings for him...
As Riddhima came close to him, Armaan couldn't control himself from hugging her seeing her after a week... Armaan has miss her a lot and today he didn't want to control himself from holding her in his arms... So as soon as Riddhima reach him, Armaan stood up and took her in to a warm hug hiding his face on her open hair inhaling her shampoo...
Riddhima was surprise with Armaan sudden hug but she felt good to be in his arms... It wasn't the first time Armaan hugs her or she hugs him because they had share friendly hugs before but after realizing true feeling for Armaan, it was Riddhima first time but she didn't want to let go of the opportunity being in Armaan arms...
Armaan hands where around Riddhima back as Riddhima hugs her with her hands around his waist resting her head on Armaan chest which was left bare with first three button open... Armaan nuzzling more in to Riddhima hair near her neck when he felt Riddhima hot breath kissing on his chest...
Armaan and Riddhima stood like that for god knows how many minutes but their moment was disturb as someone mobile ring breaking the silent around the restaurant as many people wasn't around at the moment as it was afternoon time and till lunch time must have not start in most of the office...
Armaan and Riddhima came out from the hug, Riddhima wasn't looking at Armaan as her cheeks color has changed showing the dark shade... Armaan smile seeing Riddhima blushing and he pull the chair for Riddhima who gave a smile before sitting and Armaan sit in front of her as Riddhima look around as if she is more interest in others...
Armaan keeps looking at Riddhima face and Riddhima try to ignore him but she knows she can't for a long time as them being in front of each other... Armaan wave his hand to the waiter who he has already given order and he nod his head understanding what he wants...
Soon waiter brings the drink and he put Riddhima favorite lemon juice in front of her... Riddhima look at Armaan who smirk seeing Riddhima expression understanding what she must be thinking... Armaan thank the waiter and he left saying lunch would be serve in a short period of time...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call him as waiter left without taking their order...
'Common Riddhima, main itna toh jaanta hoon tumhe is restaurant mein sabse zyada kya pasand hai...
Issiliyeh maine hum dono ke liyeh order kardiya pehlese hi... Aur main yeh bhi jaanta hoon tumne subahse kuch khaya nehi hoga as ur flight was in morning and tum flight mein kuch khaate nehi ho aur aate hi Dad se milne gaye aur phir ghar jaakar fresh hokar bina kuch liyeh mujhse milne aaye ho...' Armaan said in one breath...
'Mujhse kehte ho main chapad chapad karti hoon lekin khud koh kabhi dekha hai, jab shuru hote ho toh tum bhi rukhne ka naam kaha lete ho...' Riddhima said...
'Ab almost five months tumhare saat raha hai toh sangat ka asar toh hona hi haina...' Armaan said...
'Hawww, u mean meri buri aadat tumhe bura bana rahe hai...' Riddhima said...
'Aisa hi kaha hai abhi maine shayad right...' Armaan said winking at her making Riddhima shut her mouth and cross her hands on chest making a frown expression...
Armaan smile seeing her expression and he felt to kiss her on that moment but control himself not wanting to make any more awkward moment between them... Soon waiter came with their foods and both attack being so hungry while they talk about the last week and coming Holi celebration... Armaan ask Riddhima to suggest some awesome and unique idea's for holi celebration which Riddhima gladly tell him...
By the end of the lunch, both decide after disucssing what they could do for holi celebration this time... They were excited and this time Riddhima tell Armaan how much they should pay for her and her company works... If they even try to change the amount and pay a single penny extra, she wouldn't ever take any project from them...
Hearing Riddhima warning, Armaan knew Riddhima would surely follow her words as being stubborn when it comes to her work... Armaan agree to talk with Karan about the money as Riddhima inform that he hasn't talk the payment with Riddhima... Riddhima got a call from Muskaan reminding her that she would be reaching in an hour...
When everything was finalized, Riddhima told Armaan she would leave now so she can talk with Muskaan about the holi function... Armaan asked when they could meet and Riddhima tell him she would be visiting Dadu and Dadi soon as she always meet the Malliks whenever she come out from city or counrty...
'Kal...' Armaan asked with hope...
'I will see because I want to start my work from tomorrow... Pakka I will day after tomorrow if I couldn't make tomorrow...' Riddhima said...
'Okey, Dadu and Dadi will be very happy to see u...' Armaan said...
'I know, after all main Riddhima Gupta hoon... My charms work on people...' Riddhima said winking at him and leaving zooming off in her car waving Armaan...
'Sahi kaha tumne Riddhima, ur charm has work on every single person who met with you... U r so nice and gorgeous that every guy would dream to make u as his life partner forever... I want the lucky person to be me in ur life that u can call ur life partner...' Armaan said as he stood watching Riddhima car take the first turn as it vanished from his sight...
GUPTA HOUSE
By the time Riddhima reach, Muskaan was waiting for her... Riddhima was thinking about the hug she has share with Armaan... Riddhima smile remembering that moment as some new feelings run in her body... Riddhima didn't realized Muskaan present but as Muskaan being the loud one, as soon as Riddhima entry, she came running towards her...
'Kitni der laga diya...' Muskaan said...
'Tumne toh kaha ek hour baad milenge... Waise bhi abhi 20 minutes baaki hai...' Riddhima said...
'I know but mujhe control nehi huva, Mujhe pata hai tum Armaan se milne gayi ti... I want details...' Muskaan said whispering the last part...
'Nothing important happen Muski, tum bhi na pata nehi kya kiya sochte rehte ho...' Riddhima said hitting Muski arm playfully...
'Seeing ur smile, it shows some other meaning darling... So better tell me or I will call Armaan and ask him what happen between u too...' Muskaan said knowing her warning will work...
Riddhima knew Muskaan could do something crazily like that and she didn't want Armaan to know that Muskaan already knew about her feelings for Armaan... Before Muskaan could say anythiing loud enough to give any clue to Padma and Nani, Riddhima pull Muskaan with her...
'Ma, call us when dinner is ready... Is Papa going to join us...' Riddhima asked...
'No, he has a dinner meeting with some clients... He would be coming late tonight, should I send something for you both...' Padma asked...
'Sure mom, but after an hour please... We are going to work as we got new project for Holi...' Riddhima said...
'Tik hai baccha, I will send coffee and snacks after an hour...' Padma said...
As soon as they enter the room, Riddhima closed the door... Muskaan make herself comfortable on the bed as she waits for Riddhima to tell her what happen when she went to meet Armaan... Riddhima look around and seeing Muskaan waiting for her, she move but got papers and pen so that they could start with their work...
Riddhima thought to ignore as they were now safely inside her room... Seeing what Riddhima was doing, Muskaan knew Riddhima wouldn't split the beans so easily and she had to do something to make her speak...
'Sochna bhi mat main kaam karungi unless u don't tell me what happen in today's meeting with Armaan...' Muskaan said sitting with her legs cross as she hugs the pillow...
'Muski, kuch bhi nehi huva hai hum dono ke beech... Maine pehle bhi kaha tana mujhe nehi pata Armaan ke dil mein mere liyeh kya hai... Shayad woh mujhe sirf apne acche dost maante hai, usse zyada kuch nehi...' Riddhima said...
'Common Ridz, maine bohot baar Armaan koh tumhe dekhte huve dekha hai... Admire karte huve as if he can't see anything else when u r in front of him... Aur tumne hi toh kaha u guys have share little moments that make u both lost in each other forgetting the world around u...' Muskaan said...
Riddhima was thinking what Muskaan has been telling her from last two three days... Yes, Muskaan has come to know about Riddhima feelings for Armaan... Also she has been noticing their behavior towards each other and when they are around each other...
Muskaan has seen Armaan staring at Riddhima as if nothing exists in this world... Also the love in his eyes was so much visible that anyone who would see him will understand its not love for a friend but more then a friend...
'Ridz, tum yeh jaante ho na its not friendship but more then friendship...' Muskaan said...
Riddhima just look at Muskaan blankly as her mind was replaying the incident that happen in restaurant... Also those moment both had shared in the short period of time in last few months of being together as friends... Muskaan watch Riddhima expression as her blank expression change to a beautiful smile as happiness shows in her eyes...
Muskaan knew Riddhima wouldn't accept so easily, she never believe that one day she would fall in love as she has always been saying she would married to a guy who her family decide for her if she never feel any strong feeling to any guy...
'Lets start working, we can't deny our work for anyone right...' Muskaan said taking the papers and pen from Riddhima...
'Yeah, its better we don't think about these things so sometimes...
Lets discuss then we can make a list of things which we would need for decoration and other arrangement...' Riddhima said as she started to write down some points which Armaan and she has discuss...
Soon Riddhima and Muskaan was drown in to their work, as Padma said she send coffee and snacks after an hour so they can get some refreshment as they continue working till dinner time... Riddhima and Muskaan had been discussing as well as remembering their childhood days how they used to celebrate Holi with their family and friends...
As Riddhima and Armaan has decide what they would do for Holi, in no time with Muskaan help they write down the list completing and checking it for three times at least so they wouldn't have to rush to get anything at last minute... Both was really excited for this Holi and specially Riddhima has no bonds of excitement...
HOLI CELEBRATION
As Riddhima took the responsible of the decoration and arrangement of Holi function, she has reach Mallik Mansion the previous day of Holi... As at night they would be doing the puja, Riddhima and Muskaan make the arrangement outside in the garden also they have put open air tent in the garden with tables and chairs...
Malliks ask Riddhima and Muskaan to stay over for the night as next day it would be Holi and they would be doing the puja at night... Gupta's was invited and Mallik's has invited some close friends for the Puja but for Holi, whole Mallik employees and some of their clients were invited too...
Riddhima and Muskaan gladly stay over for the day but they had to go to get their cloths so after the arrangement was done both girls left to get ready and come back with their belonging as they could be staying with Malliks... Nandini got room ready for them and they request to get one room for them so they could spend time with each other as well...
Mallik's were happy that Riddhima and Muskaan was staying over, specially Armaan was the happiest person from all... As Riddhima had been visiting them very regular, she has notice that Armaan has his own work place where he didn't let anyone entry ever...
Riddhima being curious girl when she came to know about this, she always wanted to go in that room to see what Armaan has hidden there that he didn't let anyone in that room, not even his parents... Riddhima knows Armaan is very closed to his mother but he didn't let her in either...
Riddhima try to sneak in the room but every time Armaan caught her red handed... Riddhima have several times pleaded him to let her in for ones but Armaan deny saying its not the time yet that he let anyone enter his working place which is very personal place in his life...
Riddhima's curiousness keeps getting high thinking what might be there that Armaan didn't want anyone to see... Sometimes Armaan wish he could let her in but he knows it wouldn't be a good idea because he wants it to be a surprise and happiest day for them if Armaan ever let Riddhima see that room...
Armaan was surprise to see how Riddhima keeps trying to sneak to the room as every time she get caught but she didn't let the hopes down... Armaan knows Riddhima is stubborn and when she decide to achive something or wants to do something, by crook or hook she would do it... So Armaan had been always alert whenever Riddhima Gupta step inside Mallik Mansion...
Before Holi as promise, Riddhima has visit them several time and spends time with Dadu, Dadi and Nandini... Karan complain when Riddhima visit them on working day so just to spend precious time with Karan, Riddhima had to come over the Mallik Mansion on Sunday and they had a gala Sunday...
All got pamper with Riddhima and her cooking was the best they could ever ask for... It return they also pamper Riddhima but its most of the Riddhima who pamper everyone around... Riddhima took care of everyone needs whenever she comes and they all love her for loving and respecting them like her own family...
Puja was done and everyone had dinner then spend sometimes with each other before leaving to their respective houses... Mallik's asked Gupta's to stay but they said Riddhima and Muskaan wouldn't let anyone miss their present... Gupta's left saying they would come back the following day...
When all the guest left, Mallik's move inside to enjoy their late night coffee by Riddhima... By 1 am, they went to their respective rooms so they could get some rest... Nandini ask Riddhima and Muskaan to get some rest as they had to wake early to check the arrangement before the guests comes... So wishing goodnight everyone left to their respective room to get some rest before the sun rise...
NEXT DAY (HOLI)
Riddhima wake up before Muskaan and seeing how deep slumber Muskaan was, Riddhima put color on Muskaan face before she went to get ready... Riddhima took a quick shower and came out to see Muskaan sitting on bed with her eyes closed...
'Accha huva tum utgayi Muski... Chalo tum fatafat tayyar hokar neeche aajao...' Riddhima said as she took her dupatta...
Riddhima was wearing a yellow and white salwar suit... She put eyeliner and lips gloss, no jewelry and let her hair open... As she was ready, she look at Muskaan to see, her still sitting with her eyes close...
'Muski, tu phirse beite beite sogaye...' Riddhima asked as she sit next to her and shaking her...
'Hah hah utgayi main, ut gayi...' Muskaan said jumping out from the bed...
Riddhima started to laugh seeing Muskaan running here and there getting her cloths and towel before she goes to fresh up before she leaves the room... Hearing Riddhima laughing, Muskaan stop and frown seeing her best friend laughing at her condition...
'Ridz, tu mujhpe has rahe ho... Tujhe pata haina I m not a morning person...
It's only seven and aaj ke din bhi itni jaldi utna pada...' Muskaan said as she came and let her body fall on the bed...
'Mujhse accha koan jaante hai meri Muski kitna lazy hai jab baat subah utne ki aate toh... Lekin Muski, we have work to do... Maine toh tujhe utnaya nehi toh tum ut kaise gaye...' Riddhima asked controlling her laugh as she knew Muskaan didn't realized her face condition yet...
'Woh Nandini Aunty aayi ti...' Muskaan said...
'What, aur kuch kaha...' Riddhima asked...
'Haan poocha tum kaha gaye toh maine batayi shayad tum washroom mein hoga...
Phir kaha jaldi tayyar hokar aajao, neeche workers aagaye hai for the food arrangement...
Aunty ke jaaane ke baad main beit gayi aur beite beite phirse sogayi...' Muskaan said...
Riddhima let a relief knowing Nandini Aunty hasn't seen Muskaan face... If she had seen, she was sure by now Muskaan would understand it was done by none other then Riddhima... Riddhima asked Muskaan to get ready fast, Muskaan groan but left to fresh up knowing she can't go back to sleep, not at least today...
Riddhima waited to see Muskaan expression when she see her face in the mirror... Riddhima started to count down when she heard the water tap on and next second Muskaan scream as if she has seen some ghost...
'Riddhima Shashank Gupta...' Muskaan shouted...
Riddhima run towards the door to get out from the room before Muskaan can get hold of her... Riddhima knows Muskaan wouldn't come after her without changing and washing her face... As soon as an angry Muskaan open the washroom and came out, Riddhima gave her best smile...
'Bura namo Muski, Holi hai...' Riddhima shouted as she laugh and run out...
'Chodungi nehi mein tumhe Ridz...' Muskaan shouted as Riddhima run towards the stairs laughing imagine Muskaan expression...
'Pehle pakadlo Muski...' Riddhima said giggling as she run down and out from the house...
Soon Riddhima got busy with the last minute preparation checking everything around the garden while Nandini was in the kitchen to check the foods and drinks arrangement... Muskaan soon joins with Riddhima as both girls run here and their giving instruction to the workers and in an hour everything was settle before the guest started to arrived...
From morning till the guest started to arrived, Armaan hasn't been seen around... After finishing decorations, Riddhima and Muskaan help Nandini with foods and drinks while Dadu, Dadi and Karan wait for guest in the garden area as they look around the decoration and praise how nice it was done by Riddhima and Muskaan...
Gupta's was the first one to reach, Riddhima was happy to see them and wish them putting colors on them... Riddhima and Muskaan wish everyone as they also happy wish both girls... Soon other guest started to arrived and Mallik's got busy welcoming them...
'Ridz, Armaan kaha hai...' Muskaan ask...
'Pata nehi, maine subahse dekha nehi...' Riddhima said as they look around searching for Armaan thinking he might be around busy with the guest as he reach late...
'Riddhima beti, yaha aana...' Nandini call Riddhima...
'Main aati hoon...' Riddhima said as she left to check what Nandini wants from her...
Muskaan look around as she was getting bored as there was no one other then Riddhima and Armaan who she knows and now Nandini call Riddhima while there was no sign of Armaan from morning... As Muskaan was busy looking around and passing smiles to who ever smile her sudden someone came from her behind and rubbed colors on her cheeks...
Muskaan stood with shocked expression while her eyes was wide and mouth open in a big 'O'... Wondering who dare to put colors on her face like that, to shout at the person Muskaan turn around to see a guy standing with a smirk on his face...
Guy was standing in a white shirt and blue jeans while he smirk seeing Muskaan priceless expression... He keeps staring at Muskaan as she stood in a white salwar suit with her curly hair open with lip gloss as only make up...
'Rahul tu...' Muskaan asked as she wasn't expecting him...
'Apne mangetar koh bhula na tu bhul sakte hai but thanks to ur best friend who didn't forget to invite...' Rahul said hugging her as Muskaan hugs him back...
'Aisa koi karta hai kya... Dekho meri face ki kya halat bana diya tumne...
Main toh bhoot lag rahi hoon ab...' Muskaan complain smashing Rahul back...
'Oye meri sherni... Lagta hai, kitni baar kaha hai kuch toh meherbaani kar apni hone wale pati pe... Aur yeh kya, tu bhoot hi toh lagegi na, waise bhi tu darawni lagti hai...' Rahul said pinching Muskaan nose...
'Idiot, stupid, moron... Mujhe bhoot bola, abhi dikhati hoon mein tujhe...' Muskaan said...
Knowing what Muskaan would do, Rahul run away in to the crowd as many guest has come by now... Muskaan run behind him as she got hand full of colors from the table near by she was standing a while ago with Riddhima who left when Nandini call her...
While Muskaan got company of Rahul, Riddhima went to Nandini who was talking with some ladies... Padma and Nani also was with her and Nandini introduce Riddhima to the ladies... Then she excuse and took Riddhima with her inside the house...
'Kya huva Aunty...' Riddhima asked...
'Woh Armaan abhi tak nehi aaya, tum please jaakar dekho tab tak main khane ki inthizaam dekhti hoon...' Nandini said...
'lekin Aunty, shayad woh baahar gaya hoga... Woh apne aap aajaenge na...' Riddhima said...
'Woh ghar par hi hai Riddhima... Tum jaante ho na woh bohot mushkil se ut te hai, plz jaakar dekho na kaha hai...' Nandini said as she moves to the kitchen...
Not having another option Riddhima move towards Armaan room... Thinking if he is still awake, Riddhima thought to have some fun with him... So before going to Armaan room, Riddhima run out from the house and got a plate of different colors...
Riddhima slowly move inside Armaan room to see no one in room... Everything was arrange nicely as if Armaan hasn't been there from hours... Thinking where he might have gone, Riddhima move out making her way to the working room Armaan...
Riddhima knock two three times but when Armaan didn't answer, she turn to leave but stop remembering something... Riddhima face to the door and look around to see if her paths was clear to go inside... Seeing no sight of anyone, Riddhima slowly open the door to see a dim light in the room as curtains was close...
Making sure no one see her going inside, specially Armaan Riddhima move inside closing the door behind her quietly not making noise... Riddhima look around to see darkness around the room as it has a dim light which didn't give much lights...
When Riddhima was sure that Armaan wasn't there, she move inside keeping the plate on the table as she search for the light switch... Soon Riddhima found the switch and she on it... With a smile on her face, Riddhima turn around to see around the room as Armaan paints and art works were around the room but as soon as Riddima eyes caught the wall with several photo frames hanging on the wall...
RIDDHIMA POV START
As soon as my eyes caught the sight in front of mine, I forgot to breath for a second... I felt everything around me faded as nothing else was visible around me other than the wall in front of my eyes... I couldn't move my eyes as it move each and every picture which has framed nicely and hang on the wall...
I didn't know how long I keep staring at those pictures and it seems that I was living the moments that I had first visit in Mallik Mansion five months before... Without having any control, my legs move taking me towards the walls as I closely look at the pictures as if it has happen a few seconds ago...
I didn't know how I should be feeling at the moment seeing this but my eyes got blur as I got the answer I had been searching from last few days about the relation I share with Armaan... I didn't now until now that how much I mean to Armaan and I felt happy because now I was sure that what he thinks about me...
Standing, looking at the pictures and caring it as small smile form in my lips, I close my eyes as Armaan face flash in front of my eyes... Tears fall in my cheeks which I wipes knowing I shouldn't be here without Armaan permission... Now I understood why Armaan always has been stopping me and others from entering this room...
Remembering about Armaan, I wonder where he must be and how he could react if he find me here when he strictly warn to be away from the room but today don't know why that I couldn't help but take the advantage of Armaan being absent... I felt happy that I decide to come in the room because if I didn't, I would never come to know the true feelings Armaan have for me...
Also I wouldn't have get the answers to my questions which has been disturbing day and night making me restless to know what Armaan has in his heart for me... I feel satisfied to know this little information and before Armaan caught me red handed I turn to leave but was shocked to see who I just bump when I turn around to leave...
RIDDHIMA POV END
Armaan went out for sometimes as he had to collect some photo frames that he had order to put Riddhima's picture that he had paint in last few days... As he saw Riddhima and Muskaan busy with decoration and Nandini in kitchen busy with food preparation he thought not to disturb anyone as he wouldn't be taking much time to go and come back after getting what he wants...
Nothing goes the way Armaan think as he took an hour to come and go as due to the traffic... By the time Armaan reach, almost all the guest was presenting but as he was carrying the frames, Armaan thought to go and keep it before he joins other to celebrate holi...
Armaan look around to see everyone busy wishing and applying colors on each other... Some were cover with color from head to toe while some just stay after not playing like kids who was running holding water gun fills with color waters in it making anyone and everyone wet...
Armaan smile seeing those kids enjoying to the fullest and thinking what Riddhima must be doing, Armaan quickly went to his working room before come down to search Riddhima to wish her holi and put as much as colors he could... Thinking of applying color on Riddhima and how Riddhima expression would be, Armaan smile widely as he open the door of his working room...
As Armaan move inside, he was shocked to see the lights and someone standing in front of the wall where Armaan has put Riddhima photo frames... Not making noise, Armaan quitely kept the frames as he look at the girl who was standing with her back towards him...
Seeing the girl, Armaan understood it was none other then Riddhima... Armaan knew he couldn't be able to hide the fact how much he loves her from Riddhima for a long time... Also Armaan had been waiting for the perfect moment to tell her and he thinks what more perfect day it could be then this as today was holi...
Armaan feel that colors can always describe love so perfectly thats the reason Armaan love to paints as he could use so many colors to make anything beautiful... Armaan move towards Riddhima when she didn't turn around when he enter, seeing Riddhima staring at the pictures he understood that Riddhima was lost in those moment...
Armaan stood behind Riddhima but still Riddhima didn't feel his present like she usually do which make Armaan sure that she was too lost in those picture... Armaan was wondering what must be going in Riddhima mind and heart at the moment seeing and understanding his true feelings for her... Does she feel the same way or its just only friendship for her...???
Armaan just stood waiting for Riddhima to move and as if she had heard his unspoken words, next second Riddhima turn around not aware of Armaan present... As Armaan was standing real closed to her, as soon as she turn around she was bump to Armaan chest...
Armaan hand move around Riddhima waist as she lost her balance, Armaan look at Riddhima expression to see fear in her eyes seeing Armaan all of sudden standing so closed to her... Armaan just couldn't move his eyes away from her gorgeous face as he felt his heart miss a beat...
As soon as their eyes met, both was lost in each other... Riddhima hands were on Armaan chest while Armaan one hand around her waist holding her close to him... Riddhima some fringes were coming on her face disturbing Armaan view, so Armaan just put them behind her ear with his free hand...
Riddhima close her eyes feeling Armaan fingers touching her skin as shiver run down in her spine as goosebumps raise in her skin... Riddhima fist got tight on Armaan shirt as her eyes automatically got closed feelings Armaan caring her cheek softly...
Armaan was so lost in Riddhima, he didn't know when his fingers was softly moving on Riddhima cheeks caring her pinkish cheek... Armaan was trying to know if it was changing it color naturally or someone got colors on her cheeks... Armaan admire seeing how much his one touch affect her that she had her eyes close as her lips parted a little as she shiver under his hold...
'Riddhima...' Armaan whisper Riddhima name...
Riddhima open her eyes as it meet Armaan gorgeous one as both drown in each other eyes as they search for true words which they wanted to hear from each other... It was Riddhima who got out from the dream land and seeing their position she suddenly make distance between them brushing Armaan bubbling, bring him to the earth...
Riddhima nervously look here and there avoiding eye contact with Armaan as Armaan was wondering what has happen to Riddhima suddenly... He was too drown in her beautiful eyes searching for those answer which Armaan had been thinking from months...
'Woh main... Main yaha...
Sorry, Aunty tumhe bhula rahi hai... I didn't mean to... Mujhe jaana chahiyeh...' Riddhima said shimmering as she try to form a sentence together...
Armaan just smile seeing how Riddhima was trying to form sentence together but she was so nervous that she was shimmering so much... Armaan eyes was still fixed on Riddhima which was making her nervous every passing seconds... Riddhima knew Armaan wouldn't move his gaze away from her until she move in front of him...
So looking at Armaan, Riddhima quickly move pass him to leave... Armaan who was staring at Riddhima saw Riddhima trying to escape but he knows if he didn't tell today, don't know when he would get the chance to tell her... Before Riddhima could open the door, Armaan quickly move holding her arms and turning her around as he jammed her in between the door and him...
Riddhima was shocked with Armaan sudden step, feeling Armaan body touch her soft ones Riddhima gap feelings how closed they were standing.. Armaan didn't care because only one thing was going in Armaan mind and heart at the moment, that no matter what Riddhima answer would be he has to tell her about his feelings for her...
'Armaan, please leave me...' Riddhima said struggling in his hold as Armaan both hands were on the door blocking her in either side...
'Tum poochenge nehi kuch bhi mujhse...' Armaan asked as their face was real close...
'Please Armaan, mujhe nehi kuch bhi baaki rehgaya hai...' Riddhima said...
'Bohot kuch baaki hai bolne ke liyeh Riddhima... Bohot kuch mujhe kehna hai aur tumse sunna hai...' Armaan said...
'Armaan, sab humhara inthizaar kar rahi hai neeche... Hum baad mein baat karte hai...' Riddhima said...
'Nehi Riddhima, ab mein ek minute bhi waste nehi karna chahta...
Maine bohot wait karliya yeh baat chupa kar, main aur apne dil mein yeh baat nehi rakh sakte...' Armaan said moving his fingers in Riddhima cheek...
Feeling Armaan fingers, Riddhima look at him meeting her eyes with his... Both face was so closed that they could feel each other hot breath as their lips were inch away... Armaan so wanted to steal those tempting lips but he knows he can't lose himself in her before he let out his feelings for her...
'Riddhima, I didn't know how and when I fall in love with you... The moment my eyes met with ur gorgeous one I felt this unknown connection with u that I didn't feel to move my gaze away from u for a second... I have met several girls in my life who crazily love me but you was the first girl in my whole life that make me forget the world around...
I never think about a girl after my first meeting but I didn't know what makes me think about u whole day and night when u came in front of my eyes as if u had done some magic on me or put a charm on me that I wouldn't be able to ever forget you ever...' Armaan said as he cupped Riddhima face in his palm...
Riddhima just keep looking at him eyes not able to say a word as hearing all those words he believe how pure it was and she believe it was coming deep down from his heart... Riddhima understood what she had been seeing in Armaan eyes from days but she wasn't to read it correctly from months...
'When something occupied in my mind and I couldn't forget it, I always do is paint it so I could keep whatever roam in my mind safely in pictures and paints... That was only the solution for me to keep my emotions in it right place I didn't know what u would be thinking about me if I suddenly confess u that too so soon after our first meet...
So I thought, I would first be a good friend of urs so slowly we get to know each other better and spend times knowing more about each other likes and dislikes... Also I started to draw ur imagines so I could keep it safely and end up framed it so I could keep it rest of my life...' Armaan continue as Riddhima didn't say anything and just keep listening to him...
While Armaan was opening his heart and confessing his love to her, Riddhima was in cloud nine to know her first love loves her back just as crazily as she loves him... So much emotions and feelings were blossoming in Riddhima heart hearing the pure confession from The Armaan Mallik who never fall in love with anyone in his life before...
'I know its sounds crazy but I can't help it Riddhima... Its true I fall in love you at first sight and its not a must that u also should love me back... I really hope u love me the way I love you but if you don't then also I have no complain because I know love can't be forced...' Armaan said moving his hand away from Riddhima making distance between them...
Riddhima felt that someone was taking her precious thing away from her... She keeps looking with hope that Armaan understand her unspoken words and wishing Armaan just keep her in his arm rest of their life... Armaan took a few steps away from Riddhima as he had seen a plates with colors in it as he has come to the room... Armaan took red color from it and look at Riddhima who was looking at him with hopes in her eyes...
Armaan look at Riddhima and move again close to her as he look at his palm at the red color powder... Riddhima also look at his palm and look at him waiting for him to say what he was thinking... Armaan look at her smiling seeing how nervous Riddhima was getting when he stood close to her...
'U know na what's the meaning of red color... This is the color of love, that's why we gift red rose in lovers day and use red color in weddings too... Aur sabse badi baat, sindoor bhi laal color ki hota hai... Aur sindoor bohot important hota hai shaadi koh complete karne ke liye, sindoor ke bina shaadi complete nehi hote right...' Armaan said as he took some power in his other hand...
Armaan look at Riddhima who nodded her head for the first time all this while... Riddhima had been so quite from the moment Armaan has started to confess his love for her... Riddhima hasn't speak a word but just looking at him as if she could listen to him for the rest of her life...
'Mera pyar bhi is laal rang ki tarah hai Riddhima... Which keeps getting deeper and deeper every passing seconds of my life... I wish to make u as mine forever, because I can't live without u a single second of my life... I love you Riddhima, when and how I don't know but I m sure of one thing and that's I want to make u my life partner...
If u give me a chance to prove my love to you, I would happy spend my rest of life showering you with unconditional love which I never gave to anyone else in my life other then my family.. I love you Riddhima...' Armaan said as he care his fingers on Riddhima cheeks putting red color...
Seeing the passionate love in Armaan eyes, Riddhima couldn't hold herself back... She had been waiting for this moment from last few months and when at last Armaan was confessing his love, she wants to say so much to him but she didn't find her voice as it was stuck somewhere in her throat...
Not able to hold herself, Riddhima hugs him with her hands around his neck... Riddhima hide her face on Armaan neck as Armaan stood with surprise expression visible in his face as she hugs him all of suddenly... Armaan smile feeling Riddhima hot breath on his neck and hugs her back as tight as she could...
Armaan hides his face on Riddhima open hair inhaling her scent which was making him more crazy for her... Everything about Riddhima make him fall deeply in love with her... Both stood hugging each other enjoying the closeness but they knew they can't stay like this forever because other was waiting for them..
'I love you too Armaan...' Riddhima whisper softly...
Armaan smile got wide hearing Riddhima confess but he wanted to hear it more clearly... Armaan break the hug and look at her face as Riddhima stood with her head low not able to meet her eyes with his... Armaan cupped Riddhima face in his palm as Riddhima hold Armaan hands with shy smile on her lips and blush on her cheeks...
With Armaan intense gaze fixed on Riddhima face, Riddhima couldn't help but blush as she try to control the smile by biting her lower lip... Armaan smile seeing Riddhima expression and he knew she was holding herself due to shyness but Armaan wants her to tell him how much she loves him...
'Kya bola, mujhe sunai nehi diya tik se...' Armaan asked...
Riddhima look at Armaan meeting her eyes which was filled with naughtiness... Riddhima knew Armaan heard it but he wants her to say again... Now how can Riddhima could in so easily, so Riddhima thought to play along with him...
'Kuch nehi kaha maine... Tumhara ears bhaj raha hai, kal doc ke paas chali jaana...
Now please lets go, nehi toh Nandini aunty hum dono koh dhunte dhunte yaha aajaenge...' Riddhima said...
Riddhima push Armaan and turn to open the door but Armaan stop holding Riddhima hand... Riddhima close her eyes as she felt Armaan hot breath close to her ears as Armaan move close to her from her behind... Riddhima heart started to beat fast as Armaan turn her around blocking her in between him and the door...
Armaan move his face close to her, trying to look at her eyes as he wanted for her to speak what he wants to hear from her... Riddhima stood with her head low as some hair falls on her face blocking his view... Armaan move her hair away from her face and move his face close to her...
Riddhima felt her heart beating fast as if it may come out breaking her ribs... Feeling Armaan hot breath on her cheeks, Riddhima felt her cheeks getting hot by each second his face come close to her... Not able to take the closeness, Riddhima move out from Armaan hold knowing he wouldn't let her go out...
Riddhima breath was fast as they stood so closed to each other a while ago, her chest was rising and falling due to the proximity they shared a second ago... She stood closing her eyes trying to control her breath and fast heart beat... Armaan look at Riddhima whose back was towards him, he smile knowing how much his touch affect on her...
LAHU MUNH LAG GAYA FROM RAM LEELA
Aye... hey ji re!
Ude ude mann ude
Par lage tere sang jude
Mann ude pag bade
Teri ore bade
Jug chhod bade
(Armaan move towards Riddhima taking hand full of colors from the plate on the table... Riddhima was standing with her back towards Armaan as she try to control her fasting heartbeat and heavy breath...)
Lahu munh lag gaya
Lahu munh lag gaya
Soya tha nas nas mein
Ab ye jag gaya
Aye lahu munh lag gaya
(Armaan move close to her, he put her hair to one shoulder revealing Riddhima deep back neck which was holding with three strings... Riddhima who has her eyes already closed, forgot to breath when Armaan fingers touch on her back bare... Armaan run his hand on Riddhima bare back with colors)
Labon ke chhoone se
Khwabon ke kone se
Labon ke chhoone se
Khwabon ke kone se
Bachke sab se lab se lab
Ye rag se rag gaya
(Riddhima turn around hugging Armaan hiding her face on crook of his neck... Riddhima hands were around Armaan waist as she nuzzling her nose on Armaan neck making his havoc in his body... Armaan run his hands sensually on Riddhima both bare arms rubbing colors on her skin as Riddhima shivers with his touch...)
Aye.. lahu munh lag gaya
Aye.. lahu munh lag gaya
Aye.. lahu munh lag gaya
Bhatak rahi hai aankh ye
Malang ang.. ang ang
Atak gayi hai saans uske
Sang sang.. sang sang
(Not able to take Armaan sensual touch as his hands move from her arms to her back feelings her back, Riddhima break the hug moving away from him as her face has turn the color to match the red color... Armaan stop her before she could move further away from her holding her dupatta making it fall on the floor as Riddhima wasn't expecting Armaan to do something like that...)
Kal kal behta tha
Chhal chhal rehta tha
Kal kal behta tha
Chhal chhal rehta tha
Taan le ke jaane kab gaya
(Riddhima stood with her hand on her chest as it reveal half of her upper chest... Riddhima felt her breath stop when Armaan snatch the dupatta and she was glad that her back was towards him...)
Lab se lab ye lab lab se
Lahu muh lag gaya
Aye.. lahu munh lag gaya
Lahu mu lag gaya
(Armaan move close to her from behind as he pull her close to him with his hand around her waist... Armaan put his free hand on Riddhima hand which was on her chest taking her hand in his hold... Riddhima let her head rest on Armaan shoulder feeling Armaan breath caring on ears making for feel weak from her knee... Armaan run his hand on Riddhima upper chest making Riddhima gap and moan at the same time... Riddhima has her eyes closed as tight as she could as her breath started to get heavier...)
Soya tha nas nas mein
Ab ye jag gaya
Aye lahu munh lag gaya
Labon ke chhoone se
Khaabon ke kone se
(Armaan turn her around pushing her to the wall behind them... Riddhima gap loudly when Armaan press his body on her soft ones... Armaan holds Riddhima both hand pinning it on the wall as he hide his face on Riddhima neck nuzzling and leaving lines of kisses on her long neck... Both was losing themselves in each other as Armaan put colors on Riddhima and it was on Armaan cloths too as well as Armaan had been so closed to her...)
Labon ke chhoone se
Kaabon ke kone se
Lab se lab ye lab lab se
Lahu munh lag gaya
Aye.. Lahu munh lag gaya
Aye.. Lahu munh lag gaya
Aye.. Lahu munh lag gaya
Armaan keeps leaving kisses on Riddhima neckline and collar bone as he move to other side of her neckline... Armaan was losing his sense feeling Riddhima so closed to him as he had been waiting for this day to take her in his arms eagerly... Their fingers were intertwined with each other while Riddhima back was touching on the wall and Armaan body pressing on her soft ones...
As Armaan continue kissing her, his desire was getting out of control... Not able to control his desire which was making havoc in his body, Armaan bit Riddhima shoulder making Riddhima hissed with sudden pain... Hearing Riddhima hissed sound, Armaan break the moment looking at her face...
Armaan was back to his sense and realizing what he was doing, Armaan let go off Riddhima knowing if he didn't control now he may do something which he shouldn't be as now he has gone too far... He just confess him love and now he was getting physically carried away just because he wanted her so badly to be his...
'I m sorry... I just got... got carried away...
I should have control... I don't know... Don't know how I lost control...
I will... I.. woh... ur dupatta...' Armaan said as he realized it was not right at all...
Riddhima keep looking not believing her ears hearing Armaan apology for whatever happen in between them just few seconds before... When she didn't regret anything that happen, why was he regretting... Riddhima felt maybe because he thinks she wouldn't be comfortable and she has not confess clearly that how much she loves him...
Armaan stood holding his head in his hands while controlling himself... When his heartbeat was control, Armaan took Riddhima dupatta which was on the floor as he has left it after snatching it away from her... Without looking at Riddhima, Armaan forward her dupatta thinking Riddhima wouldn't feel comfortable with him now...
Seeing Armaan was avoiding eye contact with her, Riddhima felt her temper rise... Few minutes ago this guy was confessing his love to her and after showering her with his unconditional love, now he was apologying... That too when it was not his fault as Riddhima didn't stop him and let him go on...
'U know what Armaan, u r so stupid and idiot...' Riddhima said snatching her dupatta from Armaan...
Armaan look at Riddhima with her sudden change of voice as a while ago she was too shy to speak anything... Now Riddhima was angry leaving the shyness hide somewhere, where no one can see it if she didn't let them to see it...
Riddhima gave an angry glare at him and make her way out from the room... Armaan stop her holding her wrist seeing she was angry with him... Riddhima struggle, trying to get her hand out from his hold...
'Riddhima tum...' Armaan was cut by Riddhima...
'Main kya Armaan... I just don't believe that u r the one who just confess that how crazily love me and now u r regreting the moment we just share... I just don't believe it when u know u has all the right on me than how could u regret anything that happen between us Armaan...
As much as u love me, even I love u damn it... If I m not comfortable with the closeness, I would have stop u right... But nehi, Armaan Mallik koh toh bas yehi sochna hai jo use tik lage... I just don't believe I m in love with a stupid fool like you Armaan... You jerk, how could you...' Riddhima said as she got hyper...
When Riddhima confess again and again, Armaan stood smiling at her... Riddhima was too high that she didn't realized that Armaan was just enjoying Riddhima action with smile on his face... Riddhima started to hit Armaan chest with her free hand while Armaan hold her other hand with his eyes fixed on Riddhima face...
'I hate you so much Armaan Mallik... I just hate you...' Riddhima said...
'I love you too Riddhima, I love you a lot...' Armaan said pulling Riddhima to him...
'Chodo mujhe, I hate you...' Riddhima said not looking at him as she struggle in his hold...
'I love you more...' Armaan said pulling Riddhima close to him...
'No you don't and I don't love you...' Riddhima said still struggling in his hold...
'Say it looking in my eyes Riddhima...' Armaan said making Riddhima look at him...
'I...' Riddhima was lost as soon as she look at Armaan eyes...
'you what???' Armaan asked...
'I... l... Lo...' Riddhima stop...
'I love you...' Armaan said caring Riddhima waist sensually...
'I lov...' Riddhima again stop...
'I love you...' Armaan again said as he move his face close to her caring his nose tip on her cheek...
'I love you...' Riddhima said...
Armaan smile hearing her and hugs her, hiding his face on her neck... Riddhma also hide her face on Armaan chest but they couldn't stay like that for a long time as Armaan phone buzz in his jeans pocket... Armaan took out to see Karan name flashing and when Armaan grip got lose around her Riddhima move out from Armaan hold...
'Riddhima...' Armaan called her...
Riddhima look around to see Armaan coming behind her so she took the plate and throw the rest of color on Armaan who hide his face but was colored from head to toe... Riddhima giggle seeing Armaan and Armaan look at her with his eyes wide seeing he was like a joker with mixed of different colors...
'Riddhima...' Armaan called her again...
'I still hate you Armaan...' Riddhima said running before he could catch her...
'Really now...' Armaan asked running behind from her...
'Really...' Riddhima said as she poke her tongue at her as she run down the stairs towards the garden follow by Armaan...
Rest of the day, Riddhima was trying to stay away from Armaan who was trying to get hold of Riddhima in any condition... Everyone was having a blast as Muskaan and Riddhima team up and put colors and water colors on Armaan and Rahul... Gupta's and Mallik's were enjoying as youngster run here and there putting colors on every person they could get in their hands on... It was one of the best Holi for the Gupta's and Mallik's as their children were having so much fun without caring about the world...
