He said to himself and then deciding it he picked his phone to order a coffee for himself
Ar:''hello jenna can you please make a black coffee for me?''
He speaks and next moment he heard one tinkling voice as
Ri:''you know jab apko bhookh lagi ho apka stomach khali ho tou black coffee nahin peni chhaiye''
And armaan's head shoot up hearing her voice and there she is standing on his cabin door along with rahul with her million dollar smile, he got so lost in her that he did not know when the receiver slipped from his hands. Rahul smirked seeing his bhai's face he tried to suppress his laugh
Ra:''hey bhai''
And he breaks his bhai's trance and then armaan looked at him then he just got so embarrassed he puts the receiver and seeing armaan like that riddhima is confused so much seeing him like that so she asked him
Ri:''armaan are u fine?''
And armaan still not come fully from his reverie so he just nodded and then riddhima
Ri:''so can I come in Mr. Mallik?''
She asked and that moment armana comes back out from his world and he immediately gets up from his chair and moved towards her and
Ar:''are riddhima han please come in yeh bhi koi puchne ki bat hain''
He said giving her his million dollar smile and riddhima entered inside with a smile and rahul too followed her and
Ar:''vaise I must say riddhima what a pleasant surprise tum yahan office mein''
Ri:''well yes armaan actually na main free ho gayyi thi aur Joseph ke saath ghar hi ja rahi thi then maine socha ghar par koi bhi nahin hoga so I called up rahul he said ki main yahin office aa jaun so that we can go home together. I hope it is fine with u armaan''
She said and armaan smiled and then he nods his head
Ar:''off course riddhima this is more than fine acha vaise kya logi tum aj tum first time humare office ayi ho so''
He asked and riddhima smiled and she just
Ri:''well certainly not black coffee you see it is harmful for health''
She said in mischievous tone and armaan smiled at her then
Ar:''ok Dr. Sahiba so what you want tell me aur rahul tu kyun khada hain baith na''
He said to her and then looked at rahul who is still standing admiring the duo and
Ra:''oh great bhai finally apnein dekha ki main bhi yahan hun nahin tou mujhe laga ap aur di donow mujhe bhul gayye this is so not fair''
He said making a cute face and riddhima looked at her and
Ri:''I am sorry rahul mera aisa koi intention nahin tha''
Then armaan butted in and makes rahul sits beside riddhima on the couch
Ar:''riddhima tum is nautanki ki baton mein mat aao let me tell you he is the biggest nautnaki''
He said knowing his brother's antics then he picked up the phone
Ar:''baith abhi tera favorite cheese deluxe sandwich with extra cream coffee order karta hun fir dekhta hun kaise kehta hain ''bhai ap bhul gaye mujhe''
He said and hearing his favorite food rahul smiled widely and
Ra: "Bhai u r the best"
He said and armaan smiled and riddhima shakes her head seeing the brothers they actually loved each other so much
Ar:''dekha riddhima. acha riddhima tum kya logi?''
He asked and then riddhima looked at him and
Ri:''anything armaan but only on one condition''
She said looking at him and armaan looked at her and rahul's eyes turned wide in horror no body dared to put condition in front of Armaan Mallik but riddhima did not know it. And he looked at him dreading his bhai's reaction and
Ar:''acha and what is that?''
He asked raising his eye brows and rahul so wanted to warn riddhima but he could not able to so
Ri:''just you are not going to drink that black coffee for now and have proper meal with us now''
She said and rahul closed his eyes waiting for his bhai's out burst and at the same moment the door knocked breaking their silence as armaan said
Ar:''come in''
His secretory Jenna walks in and then she speaks up
Je:''sir your black coffee''
And smiling to her armaan replied in calm tone
Ar:''thank you so much jenna but I won't like it now. Sorry for the trouble.''
He said apologizing her making rahul opened his eyes in shock he never thought his bhai will apologies so easily and Jenna too is shocked still she managed
Je:''that's perfectly fine sir anything else sir I can do for you''
Ar:''yes Jenna can you please order some cheese deluxe sandwiches and 3 coffees for us, one with extra cream, one with less sugar and riddhima urs''
Ri:''one with low fat milk Jenna and thank you''
She replied and Jenna smiled and moved from there and rahul looked at his bhai as
Ar:''anything else Dr.Gupta I can do for you?''
He asked in mischievous voice and riddhima smiled at him then
Ri:''no that would be all for mow Mr. Mallik''
And they both laughed and rahul looked at them then a smile across on his lips
Ra(in his heart):''you are changing bhai from the cold hearten Armaan Mallik to our Armaan and I guess Riddhima Di you are now getting place in bhai's heart too''
And his thoughts breaks as he heard armaan
Ar:''oye rahul kaha kho gayya tu''
He smiled and shakes his head and
Ra:''kuch nahin bhai kahin bhi nahin''
He said and armaan nodded and then all three of them enjoyed sitting and talking and eating, pulling each other's leg and riddhima makes sure armaan and rahul eats well. Now riddhima is alone in armaan's cabin as he and rahul go to finish some pending work so that they can leave for home. And riddhima is exploring the office and she is really impressed with the interiors of armaan's office. Its not so much showed off its an elegant office and good to work. Then she saw a picture frame placed in armaan's table and she picked it up and saw its picture of armaan and rahul. Both have million dollar smile on their faces especially armaan has that smile that reached to his blue oceanic eyes, she smiled and saw a mug too placed on the table with the quote ''to the world's best brother''. And she knows it mus be given by rahul only she really admired the bond that two brothers shared. She smiled but then her smile changed into frown as she finds there is no picture of avantika ma and golu uncle and she makes a face as this, she always have her parents picture on her desk though they are not with her and here armaan. This is so not right.
Ri:''armaan I will try that your differences with avantu ma and uncle solve soon, because its necessary for all of you''
She said and then her trance breaks as sh heard the door opening and she finds armaan coming with smile on his lips then
Ri:''chalein armaan agar tumhara kam ho gayya ho tou''
She asked and armaan smiled at her then nodding
Ar:''yea riddhima main tumhe hi bulane aya tha I am done for the day''
He said and riddhima smiled and then armaan picked his brief case and coat and put on his shades and she smiled and then they walked outside when
Ri:''armaan rahul kahan hain vo nahin aa raha kya?''
She asked they entered in the lift and
Ar:'' off course aa raha hain riddhima rahul just he will join us in parking''
He informed her and riddhima smiled and
Ri:''oh ok''
And soon they reached near armaan's car armaan puts his things inside and he is about to open the door for riddhima when his cell buzzed seeing rahul's name flashing on screen he answered the call as
Ar:''han rahul kahan hain tu main aur riddhima tera parking mein wait kar rahein hain na''
He asked and rahul replied from the other side as
Ra:''bhai I can't come today''
He replied making armaan shocked but soon he recovered and
Ar:''kya hua rahul sab thek tou hai na aise suddenly kya aur tu ghar kyun nahin aa raha hain?''
He bomber-ed him with questions and riddhima too get anxious hearing one sided conversation and
Ra:''actually bhai abhi atul ka phone aya hain he and our other friends is going for night out so they threatened me to come too as I rejected so bhai please can I go?''
He asked like a obedient young brother and armaan sighed in relief and
Ar:''oh ho rahul just itni si bat tune tou mujhe dara hi diyya tha off course you can go enjoy take care''
Ra:''thank you bye good night take care bhai and no drinks bhai ok''
Ar:''yea big daddy I will take care of myself and now please stop worrying about me enjoy good night see you tomorrow''
Ra:''yea bhai bye and love you''
Ar:''me too''
He said and then cuts the call with a smile on his face and then he looked at riddhima who has questions written on her face
Ar:''rahul has night out plan with his college friends so he is not coming''
He answered her unasked questions and riddhima smiled and
Ri:''oh that's great''
Ar:''yea chalo hum tou ghar chalein''
He said and riddhima nodded and sits in passenger seat as armaan opened the door for her and then armaan settled in his seat and he drove towards the Mallik Mansion. And in between armaan asked about riddhima's day
Ar:''so riddhima tumhara din kaise raha aj ka?''
Ri:''its fine armaan and u know I am glad that I opted for study before joining the hospital, I got so much knowledge about working atmosphere and technologies here''
She replied with a smile and armaan smiled looking at her then
Ar:''that's great riddhima''
Ri:''yea indeed it was vaise how about your day I guess hectic?''
She asked and armaan smiled at her as she must noticed him when she visited him in his office
Ar:''yeah actually its quite hectic one are riddhima I forgot to ask where is Muskaan?''
He asked as he remembered about her and
Ri:''muskaan is staying at heer's actually they have some case''
She replied him and armaan nodded at her then
Ar:''par riddhima muskaan bhi tou tumhari tarah studying na then how come case?''
He asked taking the turn to London Bridge for going their home in Notting Hills
Ri:''yea armaan you are right, par na muskaan ki kal ek presentation hain aur Heer is having that kind of case too so she offered muski help so muski decided to stay there''
She informed him and armaan nodded and
Ar:''oh ok''
And then he looked at her shining eyes the way she is admiring the London Bridge and he thought she loved the scene there and he let her enjoy there mentally deciding some day he will make her visit here properly as he saw that shine in her green almond eyes. And next moment he saw the snow falling on the wind screen and he looked over the sky and muttered
Ar:''gosh London's weather is so unpredictable''
He said catching riddhima's attention and she too looked outside and she saw the snow falling and
Ri:''vaow armaan its so beautiful''
And armaan looked at her as her eyes twinkled as she pulled her hand out to feel snow on her hands and armaan looked at her astonished how she smiled seeing the snow fall, he never ever saw someone feels so happy with mere snow fall but that's what riddhima is and here riddhima when feels soft and cold snow on her hands could not able to hold herself back she just called armaan and
Ri:''armaan please stop the car''
She said and armaan is so dazed that he applied the breaks stopping the car thinking she might need something so
Ar:''what happen riddhima you need something?''
He asked and his words just keep in his mouth as he saw riddhima going out from the car and then next moment he finds her standing in the snow and smiling in the snow with her one hand playing with snow. Armaan got so lost in her beauty, she is looking breath taking from the morning he first time noticed her, she is wearing a black dress that is coming till her knees with that a red jacket over her covering her from this London Chilly Weather. Her hairs are left open that is now playing on her face with a pair of stilettos. And now her one hand is in her jacket's packet while other hand is feeling the snow looking at sky. And armaan forgot everything she looks breath taking and enchanting. Her face reflects innocence and he feels his heart skipped his beat too.
