~Tomorrow Is Another Day (AR ff): *New Update: 15 Mar;2016 - Page 4

Time flew like the wind; only two days were left for Ridhima's presentation. During the past 8 days Ridhima worked day in and day out, she made sure she left no stone unturned. She would skip her meals, work overtime and move heaven and earth to make sure that they lock the deal. Everybody knew Ridhima was a hardworking and committed woman but they knew this was not just another project this was her dream, her baby which like a mother she nurtured...amidst all this there was one person who was keenly observing her , her every gesture, the way she frowned when something was not up to her liking, the spark in her eyes when she completes any part of the presentation and most importantly that million dollar smile that for a change reached her gorgeous baby blue eyes... That somebody was none other than Armaan unknown to himself he slowly started developing feelings for Ridhima ...no matter how much he tried he could not lay his eyes off her...he tried brushing it off as some sort of infatuation but his heart, his soul knew that this was more than just infatuation...

Ridhima was very happy her presentation was absolutely complete and today she had her mock presentation with Viaan...she was content with her work and that was clearly visible on her face...She came to office earlier than usual after all she was very excited and yet very nervous for today...she was walking towards her cabin...all the way humming a beautiful song when she suddenly bumped into something rather someone she shut her eyes tightly with the fear of hitting the ground but she never felt the floor. She slowly opened her eyes only to get lost in a pair of intense and deep grey eyes...Those grey orbs were directly piercing through the blue ones both were lost in one another...however their trance was broken by a mobile beep...both stood straight and looked around...feeling embarrassed yet with no regret..."Uhmm Hi!" Arman finally broke the awkward silence between them (The person with grey eyes was Armaan) "Hi" Ridhima replied with a small smile..."Your early?" both said together then burst out laughing..."Actually I had some pending work so that's why I am early.. what about you?" asked Armaan "Uhm...nothing just woke up early so..." she could not bring herself to tell him the truth...she had a habit of not sharing her actual feelings with anybody...she preferred keeping them to herself.. he could make out that she was not saying the truth..but thought to not dig further "oh..I see" he said..."I'll just go to My cabin and you Uhmm carry on with your work" said Ridhima, "ya sure! See you later" he replied. She walked towards her cabin while Arman stood at the same spot watching her retreating figure. Armaan could clearly see her fumble with her hands, he knew something was bothering her but could not get what it was He knew she was probably nervous but the fact that she looked restless did not go down well with him. It stirred something deep within his heart..what that something was even he did not know or maybe he did but was not accepting it anyways leaving his thoughts aside he went to his cabin to complete his pending work.

Once Armaan reached Ridhima's cabin he knocked gently "may I come in?" He asked.."hmm" replied Ridhima without looking up from the file that she was reading. Armaan entered and stood I front of her desk, she was too engrossed in the file to see him so he cleared his throat to garb her attention...hearing the slight notice she looked up and was surprised to see him " Armaan? What are you doing here??" She asked.."well I was free for while and everybody was busy so I thought I'll come and ask you if you could come with me to the canteen for a cup of coffee" he told her with a million dollar smile plastered on his face...she looked at him astounded, she was free but somehow did not want to go anywhere...she wanted to be alone because according to her that is the best thing for her to ease her fears. Little did she know that the best thing rather the best person to ease her down was right In front of her..."Uhmm Armaan I would love to but..Uhmm I am a bit busy so..." She replied with a small voice, she felt bad for refusing him but she knew that if she goes with him she might not be able to hold her strong self for long. Armaan for a fact knew that's she was lying as he has personally checked her schedule...he knew she wanted to be alone but somehow his heart did not permit him to leave her alone, he did not know why but he just wanted to be with her and though he was unaware for the reason he was determined to follow his heart. So he used his formula number 2 "ohh..it's okay Ridz you carry on..I guess everybody is just very busy...it's okay I'll just get back to work...I don't like having coffee alone so that's why I came, but it's okay work comes first...you carry on and I am sorry to disturb you" he said with a sullen face and turned to leave..he was walking very slowly on purpose and began his mental countdown "five, four, three ,two, one..." "Armaan "he heard her call out "bullseye" he smiled brightly but then immediately controlling himself he turned around with the saddest and most crestfallen face on earth "yes" he asked. " Uhmm wait a minute I will come with you..I can do this later" said Ridhima with a little hesitation..seeing his sullen mood she did not have the heart to refuse him and thus though she was reluctant yet she agreed. Ansh beamed inwardly but still to keep up with the drama that he did he said "no no Ridz it's fine, I'll have coffee later you con..." He was cut by Ridhima "no it's okay it's not that important" "okay then in that case lets go" said Armaan with a wide grin. He did a Small inward dance to celebrate his success. "So miss Ridhima a.k.a Ridz Gupta let me see how long can you hide your pain..you don't say it but I know there is something that's eating you up inside and I promise you and myself that I will not only find the reason behind your pain but will also solve it." Today he was happy though he did not know why but this little promise that he made to himself calmed his heart down...he wanted to see her happy and at the moment the reason for his so called attraction did not matter to him. That's what his heart wanted, her happiness and he would move heaven and earth for it.
