Arman's POV
"Work properly everyone, this Billy has called lazy workers to work Damn you Billy, I had ordered roses not these one... my basket loves roses... listen all of you I want the arrangements to be perfect just like my basket loves..."
"Armaan you are worrying Unnecessarily, They are doing their Job perfectly" billy thinks it perfect, urgh it isn't perfect at all "it's not an inch close to perfect... i don't want any mishap in tomorrow's Function which will ruin our day billy" I stated and he sighed in defeat "fine... come sit here" he dragged me to the chairs at the corner and handed me a glass of water "drink it and relax.. arrangements will be done as per your wish" he added and I couldn't help but smile "thanks dad" "you are always welcome" he said patting my cheek and I felt blessed to have him.
My eyes strayed to the portrait of her and me in the middle of the terrace under those shades which workers had arranged and I smiled moonily after all it feels like a dream. In fact it was all a dream once , my only dream.
Riddhima and I are deeply and madly in love and for a change unlike other love stories our love story isn't a painful one filled with emotional encounters
I know its increasing your curiosity and I would love to tell you all about our story because whenever I recall those memories I fall for her more deeply as she has that power within her to bring Doctor Armaan Malik on his knees...just her..you know how was our first one sided meeting?
FLASHBACK
The entire place was totally messy, it stinked with blood and medicines ,not that I'm complaining as being a doctor is my passion, but the problem is after working for two days and three nights continuously at our practice trip to the camp in lonavala , I had not slept at all and I was exhausted.
As told by my seniors I moved towards the donar's to check them but on my way to the other tent I felt my head spinning and I held the corner of an empty bed. I sat on it with my spinning head in my hands and just then I felt a soft grip on my wrist. I looked up to find her raven eyes filled with warmth and such Innocence that filled a void in my heart which I was unaware off... She asked something in her soul soothing voice but all I could see was the movement of her luscious pink lips, then suddenly something pricked my arm, She made me lie down on the bed after injecting me...
when she tried to move away I felt my heart was taken away from me and in that very moment my hands moved towards her and found their peace by holding her wrist...My body trembled and eyes started to get blur... her worried raven eyes stared into mine and she mouthed "Are you ok??" I tried to nod and fight with my heavy eyelids but I failed and everything went blank with last glimpse of her raven eyes.
That was the day when Armaan Malik lost his heart to the owner of those raven eyes.
Well that was our first meeting...I fell in love with her at first sight but never got to meet her again until after 3 years we landed in the same hospital as the interns
FLASHBACK
I was really excited, it was like a dream come true...finally at least one of my dream will come true, I sighed and checked my watch, there's time for our duty to start, I roamed around the hospital and after reaching at children's ward I made my way to them as I love kids
It wasn't a tough task for me to befriend them, they asked me to play with them and so we started passing cushions to each other, it was fun and I lost the track of time, as a kid passed me the cushions someone called me and I turned causing the cushion to pass above my head and hit that same person
I turned to apologize but Oh God, my breath stopped, it was her, my dream girl, can any day be more blissful than today, when all my dreams will come true like this? she massaged her head lightly and placed the cushion on the bed.
"I am sorry" I apologized moving close to her, God she is so beautiful, I thought and tried to control my palpitating heart."That's okay, sister lovely told me that I may find you are here...Actually you are late and our senior doctor, Doctor Kirti asked me to search you" ''shit'' I cursed my stars and followed her
Next I was scolded on my first day at hospital but that was okay bade bade deshon mai aise choti choti batain hoti rehte hein. Heina...?
Later, I met all other interns Rahul, Atul, Anjali , Muskan and her, Riddhima Gupta...Riddhima and Anjali were sisters .I got to know a lot about Riddhima through her.
She was really different from others and unaware about my feelings.As the days passes by I was falling for her more deeply than ever ... we became best friends with the time and when I thought she can never consider me more than a friend, A twist named , Nikki, my bestie too joined Sanjeevni as an intern, we were very close friends since college days and when Riddhima realized that I was not giving her time and the attention like before, because of Nikki, which was also an attempt to console my wounded heart, she started ignoring me, some tantrums, some glares on seeing us together and what not but one day when I was helping Nikki to impress the love of her life Doctor Abhimanyu, Ridhima took it all wrong and in a fit of rage, she slapped me hard, and while holding my collar she said that she loves me...crazy right but that's how it happened
She was crying and I consoled her, phir Kia, pyaar hua iqrar hua or ghar walon tak bat phonchi... all were happy and being in the same social circle both families accepted us and see here we are today getting all excited for our roka tomorrow...you all are Invited.. . Now I will leave as I have a call appointment with my basket, by the way I call her, basket...why? Because I love teasing her *wink*
Ridhima POV
"okay armaan good night baby...muwah" I told him before disconnecting the call and lied fully on bed hugging my pilow, armaan is right this night seems the longest one, tomorrow is my roka with arman, tomorrow we will take our first step for a beautiful future, If anyone would had told me before the camp that I will fall in love with someone that too at first sight I probably had laughed out loud, I never believed in love at first sight, I thought how could we decide who is the one for us with in few seconds.
But guess what all my years of believes were shaken from the root when I met him in lonawala, because I actually fell in love with him at first sight... it was like, I was heading towards my ward to treat the patients that day...As i did i saw some one stood there holding his head, may be struggling with tiredness...actually we are working like zombies in day and night if I didn't had a lemonade then probably I would be in this conditions only, as I reached towards him he was on the verge of passing out, I held his wrist as I thought his blood pressure was low...when he lifted his head whoa his caramel orbs, those beautiful eyes looked at me with confused, I made him lay on bed he seemed disturbed and was fighting himself to stay awake, I injected him so that he can sleep and when he did I try to move out.But suddenly he held my hand.I felt 1000 watts of current pass through every fibre of my body...
I sat there with him for hours just staring at him, he looked like sleeping baby who looks irresistibly handsome, I just couldn't stop myself from being there with him, I didn't knew him before but i felt like I known him for years. This connectivity towards some unknown irresistible handsome man literally freaked me out...May be he too came on this trip as there were several colleges who came on this huge camp with a motive to help the people here...I would have stayed there only for him but I lost the chance, we had to leave bit early and i left.. we never met again until we reach sanjeevani, but in those days nothing felt right with me, I felt like I left something very dear to me back there...I use to think of him every time but I also accepted this fact that may be he was not in my Destiny But fate always have some different plans,
I met him again and this time in the same hospital where I joined as an intern, it was our first day and an Intern was missing , Dr.Kirti send me to search for him, when I finally found him In the children ward he was busy playing with kids and that's when I saw him, I just stood there frozen, not knowing what to do, should I go to him and hug him, should I tell him what I feel for him but he don't even know me right? I composed myself and called him, I was then hitted by a cushion, he came to apologies and I pretended as if I don't know him.
We joined everyone else and he was scolded a lot by Dr.Kirti but he seemed cool...we were six interns and we all gelled up so well... time seemed to fly...all was going well, I use to enjoy all the attention Armaan showered me with, we were tagged as best friends but I knew there was more, the way he use to stare me and spends time with me, I knew if that all made butterflies dance in my stomach then may be he too must have felt something for me.
All was going well until his so called best friend nikita came, okay wait it's not like I don't like her, she is sweet but back then I hated her to the core for one and only reason, she used to stick with my Armaan always, I tried many ways to show Armaan that I am not liking his interaction with nikki but that idiot didn't even acknowledged it at all and then one day I saw them together
FLASHBACK
Armaan was on his knees with flowers in his hand at the terrace of sanjeevni "I love you so much...please say yes" he told her and I felt my whole world crumbled down in front of my own eyes "Armaan" I shouted even before I can stop myself from doing it, they turned towards me and where nikita left from there silently, armaan opened his mouth to say something, but even Before he could say anything I slapped him hard with tears rolling down my cheeks...I held his collar roughly, "I thought you loved me...I thought it's only Riddhima for Armaan but I was wrong..i fell in love with the wrong guy" I Choked out "you love me?" he asked and I just looked away and the next moment he curshed me into his arms and his lips finded mine that was a needy one so fast and urgent it felt like he want to assure me that i am the one whom he imprinted in his heart...As his lips moved over mine I lost every insecureness in my mind...and that was how his heart won over my mind.
I felt embarrassed as I learnt about Abhi and Nikki, Later we took our families consent And they were happy... everything was going well now too except the fact that Armaan is still unaware about the reality that when I actually fell in love with him, he proudly boasts how he fell for me just in that one moment, now I think I should also tell him this as his gift after all he should must know how he stole my heart...he even said that our roka will happen at sanjeevni because if we never had met af sanjeevni then today, this all wouldn't had happened... he even promised to make this day more memorable for us
Ohkay it's late now and tomorrow is a big day for us, I will sleep, good night.
Next Day
Armaan was out of patience He is meeting her after 2 days, There is a saying love is blind its seems to be true in all sense, a true love always find perfection in our imperfection...How true this all is, His trains of thoughts were broken when he saw his woman wrapped in peach colour leganga choli walking down towards his side, She wore minimum makeup and simple diamond necklace paired with earings which enhanced her beauty.
Riddhima is very happy today and her eyes completely reflected her happiness, After all the wait she is going to get hooked with armaan the love of her life who stood there wearing a white sherwani looking like a Greek god, She is proud of her relationship with him which reached this state where only very few lucky ones could reaches...She chuckled thinking about her kismat connection with her prince charming
When she stood by him he held her hands ever so gently placing a gentle peck on her knuckles, she turned all crismson while blushing, "good ridzi you came, someone was so Impatient to see you" Nikki said clearing her throat, "Nikki you are right someone was impatient and look here someone turned like a tomato seeing this impatient man" as mushkan joined in, ridhima nudged her with elbows and glared her making everyone in the gang laugh
All the while the pandit who was seeing their janampatri gave approval that they are perfectly made for each other...When he announced their sagai and vivah date entire sanjeewani terrace echoed with applause of the guests...Padma did a tilak with roli and rice for both, his parents did the same after which they were showered with lots of gifts by the families and friends, ananya made riddhima to wore their family heirloom red chunni.
All this time they kept on stealing glances, as the roka was done and date was decided, tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks which was admired by him , now she is officially stamped as his ,with a smile he held her hand "What?" Riddhima asked "come with me" he whishpered
he took her downstairs, at cafeteria "arman kia hogya?" "Kuch dikahana hai" "kia" he signaled to wait for a moment and walked away, when lights turned on, she gasped, the cafeteria was decorated with red baloons and flowers, there were their pictures around every wall...just them "armaan this.." she tried to utter but feeling overwhelmed and as he came close to her she hugged him, hiding herself in his arms and he too happily, wounded his arms around her, conveying to her how much he loves her
Breaking the hug he held her palm and placed it on his chest "kaha tha na...Is din ko aur yadhar banaonga... this day is ours ridhima and I wanted to give you l the happiness you deserve...and ridhima I promise you that from today every day of your life will be like this, something which will bless me with this heart warming smile of yours always..
"Arman... I love you so much and you know I also want to tell you something, and I feel that this is the perfect moment...you know when I realized that I love you?" "When?" "When that night, at the camp I saw you and when that night you held my hand and when I sat beside you for hours... that night from the moment I came to you till today I have fell in love with you every time I am with you armaan in fact when you weren't with me, that time too I loved you, it was like my heart needed you to breath, and since I saw you my heart got a reason to breath and to hope that one day I will find you...armaan I never told you but I have loved you since always..." she finished and starred deeper in his eyes, there was a peace in them, as if he always urged to here it only, as if he hoped for this..as if this was everything to him "I love you ridhima" he whispered after a while and she smiled wholeheartedly
"Accha , sach mai if you love me then why didn't you propose me prop..." Before she complete her sentence he placed his fingers on her lips, winking her he went on his knees and took out a box with a ring in it " this was suppose to be my next surprise, so Doctor Ridhima Gupta Will you be mine?? mein apni zindagi ka har waqt har din har ek pal Tumhare saath guzarna chata hoon basket will you be my soulmate?".
Riddhima nodded happily he stood and hurriedly sweep her closer and placed his lips on hers...he moved his lips ever so slowly over her's unlike their first kiss .His lips traced the cruve of her lips. As he nibbled her lowerlip it parted with a gasp...He found his way inside her parted lips and drank every drop of sweet nectar from her...When they felt lack of air they parted."I love you riddhima" he said once again placing a peck on her parted lips.They stood their in each other arms as the stars above wittnessed their lovely movements. Whatever may happen in life, there are no way to stop us when our names are written in stars...Armaan and riddhima was like one of thoae soulmates who were always destined to be with each other.
