Ar:''shanky mera juice dijiye please''
He said as she slumped on the couch with the sweats on his for head and then he heard foot steps and he forwarded his hands and picked up the glass from the tray and sipping it he speaks up as
Ar:''thank you shanky''
But as soon he looked up he finds riddhima standing in front of him with smile on her face
Ar:''basket tum I thought shanky hain''
Ri:''well good morning to you''
She said teasing him and armaan smiled sheepishly and then he mumbled as
Ar:''oops good morning riddhima vaise tumne bataya nahin tum mera juice I mean shanky kahana hain?''
He asked from her as he never expected this and
Ri:''kyun tumhe koi problem hain ki main tumhara juice layi han"
She asked and armaan just immediately shakes his head as this is not at all true
Ar:''nahin bilkul nahin mera aisa koi matlab nahin maine bas isliye pucha usually shanky late hain so that's why sorry if I hurt you''
He mumbled quickly and riddhima smiled at him then smiling
Ri:''relax armaan I was just pulling your leg actually shanky kaka na kitchen mein breakfast ki tayari kar rahein the so main dene aa gayyi bas''
She said giving him the information and armaan nodded and then he
Ar:''oh ok vaise basket aaj tum jog ke liye nahin ayi kyun?''
He asked as he did missed her seeing in the basketball court and just in few days he is fond of her company he loved the fact coming home after having a game with her in morning and mostly he loved seeing her face in the morning but he did not admitted that fact and
Ri:''well actually mujhe na neend aa rahi thi aur kal ke bad I was so tired isliyye aur main na Business Tycoon Armaan Mallik ki tarah fitness freak nahin hun so I can skip the job and all for days''
She said teasing him winking at him making armaan smiled at her childishness then he just
Ar:''acha ji but u see I love to jog with certain Dr.Riddhima Gupta''
He said standing up and facing her making riddhima moved a step behind and armaan smiled seeing her face
Ri:''oh you wants to say you got usual for me''
She said snapping back and then armaan take his face closer to her and
Ar:''yes and you know I love this new habit of mine''
He speaks up huskily near her lips making her go red and blowing air on her face he backed out and riddhima looked at him then they heard shanky's voice
Sh:''riddhima bitiya nashta laga dun apko ar muskaan bitiya ko jaldi jana tha na aj''
He asked coming from the kitchen and riddhima just nodded and he left from there as she looked at armaan he winked at her and then rushed to his room and Riddhima turned red too with his wink
Ri:''pagal kahin ka sachi''
And smiling to herself she moved towards to get muskaan as they are running out of time for the college. But unaware to her two pair of eyes actually witnessed this moment and they are none other than avantika and rahul
Ra:''badi ma apnein bhi vahi dekha jo maine dekha kya bat bat par gussa honein vale mere bhai aj immediately kaise sorry bole jaise if he did not say sorry he will lose somebody close''
He said as he noticed how armaan quietly and quickly apologized from his riddhima di and avantika smiled hearing him then
Av:''bilkul rahul maine bhi vahi dekha aur well yeh tou hona hi tha''
Ra:''kya matlab badi ma main kuch samjha nahin''
He asked getting confused and avantika ruffled his hairs as
Av:''well you see tere is gusse vale bhai ko teri riddhima di hi thek kar sakti hain you see she is a good influence to him''
She said and rahul is more than agree to his badi ma and
Ra:''yeh tou hain badi ma hopefully vivek ke bare mein bhi riddhima di bhai ko samjha sake''
He mumbled to himself the last part slowly and avantika speaks up as
Av:''kya kaha rahul beta''
Ra:''kuch nahin badi ma vaise aj bade papa nahin aye abhie tak''
He asked as he saw harish is not there with them on their morning coffee time discussion and
Av:''han kyunki aj maine onhein nahin jagaya''
She said and rahul smiled after coming riddhima di his badi ma and bade papa's relation also start coming on track. And then avantika speaks up as
Av:''acha rahul I will go and get ready today I have presentation''
She said and then kissing rahul's for head she make her way towards her room. And rahul is thinking to go and get ready too and he is moving towards his room when he saw riddhima and muskaan coming in dining area and
Ra:''good morning di good morning muskaan''
He greeted them and riddhima greeted him giving him hug and muskaan just gives him smile as
Ri:''good morning rahul''
Mu:''good morning rahul ridz chal breakfast karke nikle yar mujhe aj ki presenation ke liye kuch notes bhi chahiye''
She said walking towards the dining table and riddhima speaks up as
Ri:''acha ji ab jaldi kar ridzi aur jab tu ooth nahin rahi thi tab''
She said teasing her and then muskaan sat pouting a bit and
Mu:''mujhe bad mein daant lena abhie nashta kar len na please''
She said as she puts the toast in her plate and then riddhima smiled and
Ri:''rahul tum bhi aao na breakfast kare''
Ra:''nahin di maine aur badi ma ne abhie coffee pe par ap log chahe tou I will drop you na''
He said but before riddhima can say anything they heard armaan's voice as
Ar:''nahin rahul tu aaram se ready hokar breakfast karke ana main riddhima aur muski ko drop kar dunga''
He said coming all dressed in his brown business suit ready for the day and rahul is surprised seeing his bhai ready so early so he even questioned him
Ra:''bhai aap itni jaldi reday ho gaye?''
Ar:''han rahul actually Rathors ke saath jo aj meeting hain mujhe oski presnattion tayari karni hain''
He tried to lie well it is not full lie but to some extent as the meeting is in evening and he can get ready easily while going in the afternoon but he just wants to spend some moments with her and rahul bayed his lie actually as
Ra:''oh ok bhai''
Mu:''acha na hero agar tu humein drop kar raha please breakfast kar jaldi se we are getting late''
She said to him and riddhima looked at her as she finished her sandwich as
Ri:''kya muskaan armaan you go we will go on our own vaise bhi joseph is there to drop us''
She said but armaan did not left his hope so still he
Ar:''arey nahin its fine main osi way se ja raha hun aur chalo chalein muski you are getting late na''
He said as he saw muskaan finshed her breakfast so that she will not refuse and muskaan smiled and picked her bag as
Mu:''han chal na ridzi I am ready''
And riddhima gtes up too and then she
Ri:''armaan tum breakfast karo apna we will go''
She said but armaan did not listen to her and taking his coat he
Ar:'' no riddhima I am not hungry aur abhie tou juice piya hain so tum aao main aur muski bahar wait kar rahein hain''
He said and walked towards the door with muski and rahul moved towards his room mumbling
Ra:''di you are growing on bhaii''
And here riddhima making a face at his stubbornness and then she quickly picked something and then rushed to outside where muski and armaan is waiting in armaan''s car and as they settled in the car riddhima sit on back seat and armaan on driving seat and muski on passenger seat. As soon armaan saw her settling he sets the rear view mirror to face her. And all the way they keeps on chatting and all and armaan keeps on admiring her from there, she is looking so beautiful and he never knew when they reached their university and muski immediately gets down and
Mu:''bye hero thanks for the lift ridzi I am going to library see you soon''
She rushed and armaan smiled at her she is one of crazy people as riddhima too gets down and before armaan can ignite the engine riddhima knocked on his side of door and he pulled the mirror down and
Ar:''yes madam basket anything else I can do for you?''
He said looking in her green almond eyes and riddhima just smiled and then taking his hand in hers he puts some foil paper in his hand
Ri:''nothing much Mr. Super Cool have this''
She said and armaan looked at confusingly and then he asked
Ar:''lekin yeh hain kya riddhima''
Ri:''tumhara nashta Mr. Super Cool''
She replied making armaan shocked and then he just
Ar:''lekin riddhima iski kya zarurat thi I mean main office mein kuch kha leta na''
Ri:''kyun zarurat nahin thi Breakfast is the most important meal of the day Mr. Mallik aur bukhe pet ghar se nahin nikalana chahiye''
She said and armaan is touched with her words and he just nodded and
Ar:''ok Dr. Sahiba anything else''
Ri:''nahin bas itna hi acha armaan main chalti hun bye see you in the evening''
Ar:''yeah bye and thanks riddhima''
He said genuinely and riddhima smiled at him then she
Ri:''anytime friend bye''
Ar:''bye''
And armaan saw her disappearing in the gates of university and he is touched with her actions and then with a smile on his face he drove towards his office.
Armaan is working in his office and its lunch time and as he gets free he is thinking to order something for him and then his mind drifted to the morning's incidence when she gives him the breakfast
Ar:''kaisi si hain na riddhima kitni caring hain. Dekha ki main bhukha aa raha hun aur os time she got tensed for me and packed me breakfast. Koi kisi ke liye aise kaise soch sakta hain. She is seriosuly a gem of person. Aur vaise main bhi na sirf oske saath time spend karne ke liye main kitni jaldi tayar hua na. Aur subh main kaise ose sorry bol diyya kahin vo naraz na ho jaye. Kitne kam time mein riddhima meri kitnci achi dost ban gayyi na aur kitna pas aa gayyi hain mere. Kitne ache se samjhti hain mujhe. Aur mujhe itna jhukav sivaye rahul ke liye kisi ke nahin hua aur riddhima just managed to brings the good out from me. I hope she will be my friend forever ab main oske bina shayad nahin reh paunga oski friendship mere liye bahut precious hain''
He said to himself as he remembered her and then his trance breaks as he heard the knock on his door and as he said
Ar:''come in''
He saw vivek coming in the office and he is surpriised to see him as he never visited his office and he thinks he is giving him his professional space. But least he knows this is rahul who managed to make vivek out from their office as he has doubt on his intention in the pretext of that avantika did not like the fact visitors in office premises just like that. But today as vivek did not get to met armaan from few days so he takes the chance and comes in his office and seeing him armaan hugged him and then vivek just speaks up as
Ar:''hey vivek what a pleasant surprise man''
He said and vivek hugged him and then complained in sour manner
Vi:''ab kya karun mujhe laga naye doston ke ane se tu mujhe tou bhul gaya so main hi mil aaun tujhe''
He said indirectly hinting towards riddhima knwoing if he takes her name directly armaan will surely get angry and armaan just takes that friends jealousy so he
Ar:''arey aisa kuch nahin hain acha chal aa baith kya lega teri usual red bull managaun''
He said and vivek then sits on the big expensive couch placed there as armaan picked his phone to order something for him and
Vi:''kya red bull what about some beer man''
He said winking at him but armaan shakes his head and
Ar:''sorry vivi office mein nahin. Mom and dad did not like and allowed these stuffs in office and our house so sorry hope you understand''
And vivek is shocked as armaan calmly says mom and dad his tone is softer when he mentioned about his mom and dad not the usual painful one and armaan though is angry with his parents but he respect their values so he followed somethings and then seeing vivek quite he just as
Ar:''sorry vivek but later in pub treat on me but not here''
He said again apologized and vivek falsely smiled and then he just
Vi:''yea off course man no worries man red bull is fine''
He said and then armaan smiled and ordered red bull for vivek and coffee for himself as
Ar:''thanks man aur what's up?''
He asked as he takes his seat in front of him and vivek just start telling all the idiotic things, new chicks in the pub and all and they were busy in chatting when they heard door knock again and armaan again answered as he
Ar:''come in please''
And he is shocked as he saw the visitor there its none other than Avantika&Harish Mallik his parents, they never comes in his cabin as it always leads fights and they avoided their issues at work place so a shocked armaan stands up seeing them and seeing him shocked avantika breaks the ice as
Av:''sorry to disturb you beta actually hum tumse milne aye the''
She stopped as her eyes fell on one figure sitting there and seeing his mom stop and her scrutinizing gaze on vivek armaan thought to intriduce them so he just
Ar:''vivek yeh mere mom dad hain aur mom dad yeh one of my closest friend Vivek Gujral hain''
He said and vivek mumbled a hi to them and keeps on sitting there sipping his drink as
Vi: "hello Mrs. &Mrs. Mallik''
Though avantika did not like his way to greet them and she is about to say something but harish shakes his head stopping her so they
Ha:''hi vivek armaan beta actually hum abhhi Singapore ke liye nikal rahein hain Ethan Hawk ke saath deal ke liye so socha jate hue tumse mill kar jayen''
He said as he senses his wife's anger towards his son's friend and armaan is pleasantly surprised seeing his parents coming to inform him their whereabouts so he nodded
Ar:''oh ok dad apnein rahul ko bataya''
Av:''han beta in fact he is coming to drop us armaan beta please take care of yourself and riddhima and muskaan too''
She said as she looked at his son and then armaan nodded and
Ar:''yea mom all the best ap log tension mat lijiye''
He just did not have to put any effort saying in that it just went with flow and both avantika and harish smiled and
Av:''off course beta thanks''
Ha:''armaan please riddhima aur muskaan ko sorry bolna humari taaraf se we tried talking to them but maybe they are in lecture so tell them nahin tou bahut gussa hongi khas taur par riddhima''
He said and armaan smiled and nodded and then
Ar:'ok dad I will do that'
'
He said and then avantika speaks up as
Av:''ok harish ab chalein der ho rahi hain''
She said looking the watch and then she caressed armaans head and
Av:''take care beta''
Ha:''bye beta''
And in an impulse armaan touched their parents's feet and both avantika and harish are pleasantly surprised but the shocked is Mr. Vivek Gujral and happily gives him their blessings and hugging him they left with smiles on their faces and armaan escorted them till out and
Vi:''main aise nahin honein duna itnein salon ki mehnat apnein hath se nahin jane dunga main Armaan Mallik you are my trump card aur I guess os riddhima ko yeh dikhane ka time aa gayya hain ki Vivek kis bala ka nam hain''
He smirked to himself as an evil plan formed in his mind. As he planned everything just in second.
Precap_
Vi:''ammy tu in traditio girls ko nahin janta yeh bas ladkon ko fansane mein interested hoti hai''
Ri:''muskaan is staying at heer's actually they have some case''
Ar:''riddhima yar at least sun tou lo''
Ra:''bhai I can't come today''
He looked lustly at her long legs. And she goes all the way uncomfortable with his gaze. He is such a creep. She is frustrated with him. She wo wanted to give him peace of mind. But stopped because of Armaan. She saw that unknown girl.
