PART: 8
~PRESENT~
The weekend passed by in a flash, Arima was much better having her dada pamper her day in and day out. It was an early Monday morning and Armaan was trying to rush up with his morning routine as he had to go and receive a very special person from the airport, just the thought of meeting "her brought a huge smile on his face. He was all ready himself and was now trying his best to change a freshly bathed Arima's clothes but the little baby seemed to be in a very naughty mood and kept turning and rolling over making it next to impossible for him to change her. "Aru baby just wait a minute na...mujhe kapde to pehnane do apko he said trying his best to keep the little munchkin in place as he was already getting late. Somehow after a lot of efforts he was able to hold her in one place and change her in her pretty little pink top and dungaree...Phew...Finally done sighed Armaan, picking up Arima a giggling Arima in his arms making him smile in spite of himself "mela shaitan bacha Said Armaan rubbing his light stubble cheek on her cheek making her squeal loudly at the tickling sensation and making him laugh heartily...He then took a quick glance at the clock and got up immediately "Maria...Maria he called out as walked out of the room with Arima on his right arm and his laptop back on his left. "Yes sir? asked Maria as he reached the living room. "Maria I need to rush...Tum please Aru ko sambhalo and make sure you be with her at all times and when I say all times I mean ALL times I don't want any carelessness like the previous time...Is that clear? he said rather firmly making the maid meekly nod her head...Bye my bacha...dada will be home soon okay? Said Armaan Planting a kiss on her forehead and thereafter passing her to Maria. "Take care of her and kuch bhi ho to call me immediately instructed Armaan once again looking at Arima who was deeply engrossed in her rattle and thereafter left before she could notice him leave and creates a fuss.
~Airport~
Armaan who had thankfully arrived on time was standing leaning against a pole in the arrivals section waiting for "her to come out and his wait was not a long one as soon he saw her coming out struggling with her luggage as always making him smile wide. He walked towards her and as soon as she spotted him she too had a million dollar smile and before she knew it he had taken her into a rib crashing hug...Finally...I missed you so much, itne time ke liye koi gayab ho jata hai kya? asked Armaan as they both parted away after a few seconds. "I missed you too but main kya karti you know meri cusin ki wedding thi and shadi mein itne kaam hote hai ki kya batu she said stepping aside and letting him take charge of her trolley. "Haan haan aur sara kaam karne ke liye ek tum hi to ho...Tumhare bina kaha kuch hota hai right Miss. Nikita Malhotra? Said Armaan in a teasing way as they made their way towards his car. "Chalo finally tumne is baat ko maan to liya... she replied back making him shake his head at her. "Armaan yeh sab chodo aur yeh batao ki tum Arima ko kyu nahi laye, tumhe pata hai maine use kitna zyada miss kiya..use bhi to ana chahiye than a apni favorite bua ko receive karne Said Nikki with a pouting face as she sat in the passenger seat while Armaan took the driver's seat. "Woh kya hai na *Miss. Favorite Bua* Arima ke dada ko kaam pe bhi jana padta hai, ab apne to already leave le rakhi hai to hum jaise masum logon ko to kaam karna padega na...To isliye Arima nahi ayi cuz I have to report to work after I drop you home Said Armaan with a cheeky grin. "Whatever... she replied back with an annoyed face making him chuckle all the more...The journey was a good thirty minute long journey giving both the friends enough time to catch up with each other, although they had only met each other a few years back yet they were each other's biggest confidants. Nikki was with Armaan through some of the worse days of his life and he knows for a fact he would not have been able to survive without her in his life, she was indeed his best and truest friend...Lo ji apka agaya apka ghar " Said Armaan as he stopped his car and got down to get her bags out. He dropped her up till her flat and was just going to leave when she stopped him "Uhmm Armaan ek minute wo..woh tumse kuch puchna tha... She said a bit hesitant making him frown. "Ha to pucho na... he replied back seriously. "Woh..woh uhmm parso...I mean day after tomorrow..woh.. Even before she could complete what she was saying he understood what she was pertaining to and that very topic caused a weird kind of discomfort in his heart. "Janta hu! he whispered and suddenly the jovial atmosphere that surrounded them a few minutes back was all gone and all that could be heard was a painful silence. "Ghar mein ek choti si puja rakhi hai...Tum aogi na? He said in a slow tone after a few minutes to which she immidietely nodded...Of course Armaan yeh bhi koi puchne ki baat hai...Main Zarur aungi. Kuch bhi zarurat ho to you better let me know...And uhmm sab theek hoga okay kuch cheezein humari bas main nahi hoti Armaan, we have to accept what's true She said placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. He just gave her a small watery smile and without any further exchange of words he stormed out of the house making her sigh at his state. She knew he was hurting, she even knew why he was hurting but unfortunately she could do nothing about it.
Armaan reached his car but could not get it, the pain was just too much for him to bare...He stood right there and looked up the vast sky with teary eyes "Why???? He whispered as if questioning the all mighty but deep down even he knew this was one question that would remain unanswered forever. He stood there for a few minutes trying to just gather his thoughts but soon received a phone call that brought him out of his reverie. After attending the call he got in the car and drove towards his office but as hard as he tried he could not keep his thoughts at check and just as he zoomed through the empty roads of Mumbai his mind drifted to the past... That past that always made him smile because they were undoubtedly the best days of his life but also made him cry for he knew those are memories that now will be only memories...
~FLASHBACK~
It had been a little more than day since Armaan and Ridhima had reached New York and both of them had instantly fallen in love with the City that had a constant buzz to it.They had their meeting with the client on the following day and hence spent most of the morning in Ridhima's room going through the presentation and final details. It was around four in the evening when they finally finished their work. "Hash finally ho gaya... I swear even a run though can be so tiring na said Ridhima as she leaned back on the one seater couch and flexed her stiff muscles, on getting no response she looked up towards Armaan only to find him unusually quite still staring into the laptop with his chin resting on his upon his joined hands. "Hello? Main tumse baat kar rahi hu...kaha khoye hue ho tum? she said waving her hands in front of him to grab his attention. "Huh?? Uhm.. Sorry tum kuch keh rahi thi? He said finally taking his eyes off the screen and looking up at her. "Ha I was saying ki acha hua na ki kaam ho gaya finally... She said once again with a smile, while he just hummed in response making her frown a little. He was never so quiet and now that they were finally free she was actually expecting him to be very happy and relaxed but on the contrary he was so silent and seemed a little disturbed as well and she could not help but wonder why. "Kya baat hai Armaan tum itne chup kyu ho? And you look a little tensed as well...Are you alright? She asked, to which he instantly looked towards her. He could see the concern she had for him in her eyes and somehow it felt good, it felt very good...It made him want to believe that she too somewhere deep down had started developing feelings for him and that very thought made his heart flutter in joy. On the other hand completely unaware about his inner burst of emotions Ridhima still awaited his answer and on getting none she once again called out his name and shook him a little which finally brought him back to reality. Taking a deep sigh he looked at her and finally decided to say what he had been thinking about...Ridhi I am fine...Main bas...I was just thinking...I mean you can correct me if you feel I am wrong...I mean yeh mujhe lag raha hai and you may not feel the same and I totally understand and... "ARMAANNN stop yeh kya bole ja rahe ho mujhe literally kuch nahi samaj raha. Just stop beating around the bush and come to the point na... She said cutting his rant there and there "Ridhi main...main bas yeh keh rah ahu ki I feel that the core idea of this project is very clich and very boring as well...I mean main janta hua we don't have a choice since this is Viaan's idea and we obviously don't have much of a say in it..lekin...tch yaar I don't know Said Armaan running a frustrated hand on his hair while Ridhima just let out a small smile, of course she should have guessed this to be reason. Ever since they had started working on this project this thing had really been bothering Armaan and she could not really blame him because she knew his point was right in fact they even tried telling Viaan about it but he would hear nothing against his so called "brilliant idea and at the end of the day whether they liked it or not Viaan was their senior and they had to listen to him. Had it not been for Ridhima, Armaan would have surely told Viaan on his face how PATHETIC the idea was without thinking about the consequences thereafter. Ridhima looked at Armaan and shook her head a little at finding him holding his head clearly annoyed at what was happening. "Armaan...Hum already is bare main baat kar chuke hai na..See mujhe pata hai idea bakwas hai... "Exact... He tried saying something in between but her one glare and he zipped up his mouth there and then and let her finish what she had to say. "Ha to mujhe pata hai idea bakwas hai...lekin hum kya kar sakte hai, we can't act like immature teenagers and take up a fight na? Whether we like it or not Viaan is our senior and he definitely has much more of a say than what we do and we have to accept this. She said pointing out what was true but he still looked very disappointed which made her sigh a little. "See Armaan we did what we could even I am feeling very bad lekin hum kya kar sakte hai?...We don't really have much control over this aur ek cheeez jo maine seekhi hai is that har cheez humare hisab sse nahi hoti...There are so many things we want in life but we cannot have them and there are so many things we don't like but still have to put up with it..Some things hurt so much but we can't get rid of them no matter how hard you try you just can't... She said with a distant, lost look as she remembered her parents and what they did with her. Armaan who had till then been silently listening to her with his head bent down instantly looked at her and felt his heart twist at the amount of pain that her voice held. "Hey... he whispered comfortingly placing his hand over hers. She looked up at him and gave a forced smile through which he could easily see and only he knew how he controlled himself from just holding her and crushing her in his arms, he was dying to take her pain away but he had promised her to not talk about her past till she herself did and so he had no choice but to hold himself back. "Hmm you know what you're right hum kuch nahi kar sakte we did our best and now we can only leave it to God, aur vaise dekha jaye to is bakwas project se humein bhi to fayda hua na he said trying to change her mood while she one again silently thanked him for being so understanding. "Acha? Asia kya fayda hua? she asked pushing back those unwanted thoughts at the back of her head. "Arey silly girl hum dono ko ek much needed break mil gaya and also we get to spend New Year at New York City...Wahh wahh he said getting back to his jovial self and making her smile as well. "Tum na pure pagal ho she said giggling a bit which brought back peace to his heart. "Yeah yeah whatever ab yeh sab chodo and lets go and actually explore the city...Chalo get ready...lets gooo he said excitedly getting up and hurriedly handing her, her jacket and gloves while wearing his jacket as well which was discarded on the couch and before she could react he literally dragged her out of the room.
After roaming around for a while on the cold and beautifully decorated streets of New York they finally decided to visit Central Park as it was near to their hotel and was also on Ridhima's must visit list. On reaching the place they were both awe struck by the magnificence and beauty of the park. People of all age groups were present doing something or the other, the trees where covered with fresh snow from the snowfall that had happened earlier that day, A set of artists sat on one side drawing portraits and cartoons of people, A small stall buzzing with customers was situated at one corner selling all kinds of hot beverages and local snacks, a huge area was built specially for ice skating but the best of all were the carriages that roamed around the park giving it a perfect fairytale touch. "Wowww, this place is beautiful...haina Armaan? Exclaimed a visibly excited Ridhima as they slowly walked through the park making sure to take in its beauty with every step. "Hmm... It is beautiful said Armaan agreeing with her as he looked around with his digital camera taking as many pictures of the place as he could and finally landed his eyes on her. Her nose and checks had turned red due to the cold while her hair flew freely with the wind and all along a constant smile adored her face "Indeed very beautiful... he whispered almost inaudibly keeping his eyes fixed on her who was still busy exploring the park.
Tujhko... main rakh loon wahaan
Jahaan pe kahin
Hai mera yaqeen
Main jo... tera naa huaa
Kisi ka nahin...
Kisi ka nahin...
"And you know this lake is frozen for now but as the summer sets in you will see the ice melt away and... She happily narrated the park's history and to him she looked no less than a kid on Christmas morning. He slowly began capturing her pictures, locking in every expression that she had in his heart as well as his camera. "OMG woh dekho Armaan, that carriage is so royal na? She said pointing towards a vintage looking carriage, making him look at it as well. "Pata hai when I was around 11 years old I had seen Princess Diaries and I was so fascinated by the movie that I too wanted to become a Princess and ride on a carriage and wave my hands like a Princess does when she comes out to meet the people of her kingdom...Oh God such silly thoughts I had na She said chuckling at her own self as she saw the carriage pass by. "Let's do it... Said Armaan out of nowhere making Ridhima frown a little. "Let's do what? she asked as she turned to face him. "The Carriage! Let's take a ride and wave at the people passing by...let's just do it Said Armaan looking at her excitedly making her laugh out loud "kuch bhi...tum bhi na pure pagal ho, pata nahi kaha kaha se aise ideas ate hai tumhare pass she said still giggling a bit thinking that he was joking. "Areyy I am not joking Ridhi...abhi tumne hi to kaha its been your childhood dream to do that, And today you have the perfect chance to why not do it, haina? said Armaan justifying himself "Armaan...I was 11 years old then, ab main badi ho gayi hu. Now I know the difference between *being silly and being mature* Said Ridhima making inverted comas in the air to emphasis her point. "Rubbish!!! Pehli baat to this is not silly and dusri baat chalo maan liya it's silly but well silly is better than boring, and badi ho gayi ho to aise bol rahi jaise 80 sal ki ho gayi ho. And now please stop the drama I know for a fact that you are dying to do it bas faltu ka natak kar rahi ho...Isiliye mein tumhari bilkul nahi sune wala. We are doing it and we are doing it now! "Ar... "Uhuh abhi kuch nahi suna mujhe...Chalo jaldiii He said literally dragging her with him without giving her a chance to even speak a word.
Le jaayein jaane kahaan
Hawayein, hawayein...
Le jaayein tujhe kahaan
Hawayein, hawayein...
Begaani hai yeh baaghi
Hawayein, hawayein
Le jaaye mujhe kaha
Hawayein, hawayein
Le jaayein jaane kahaan, na mujhko khabar
Le jaye tujhko pataa...
Soon enough the two of them were sat in the same royal carriage that Ridhima had liked earlier. As much as Ridhima wanted she could not help the smile that was plastered on her face. God just sitting in that carriage made her feel like a princess. She was enjoying the ride when she felt Armaan nudge her slightly; turning towards him she raised her eyebrows asking him what the matter was. He waved his hand slightly asking her to do the wave she had always wanted to do. Seeing this Ridhima's eyes grew wide in shock, had this guy really lost his mind she thought. Did he actually expect her to wave around like some royal princess? She immediately shook her head with a prominent frown on her face indicating a clear cut no while Armaan just nodded his head with a dazzling dimpled smile asking her to say yes. She once again shook her head while he once again nodded his head...This went for another two times, the pace them of shaking and nodding their head increasing with every round. "Fine...mat karo said Armaan giving up making Ridhima sigh in relief. She smiled at him and once again got back to enjoying the view. A few minutes passed by when she saw some random passing people looking towards their carriage and giggling; at first she ignored it but when the number of people giggling laughing increased she wondered what was so funny. She thought to ask Armaan if he had any idea why people were laughing but as soon as she turned towards him she almost fainted in shock. There sat Armaan all poised, prim and proper waving his hands like a "PRINCESS. "Armaan...tum...what on earth are you doing? asked Ridhima completely baffled at his act. He ignored her question and continued to do what he had been doing. "Hello, I am talking to you... said Ridhima forcing him to acknowledge her. "Kya hai...tumhe nahi karna than na so don't do it, lekin mujhe to wave karna hai aur main to karunga...Now don't disturb me, my kingdom is waiting for me to greet them He replied in a slightly irritated tone and once again got back at his "waving session, making her frown. She stared at him for a few seconds and then could not help but laugh out herself. She swore had he worn a wig and had that light stubble been missing from his face he would actually look like some Disney Princess. Armaan saw her giggle and a loopy smile made its way on his face too but the cherry on the cake was that after a few minutes of laughing her heart out he saw her tiny hand come up and do the royal wave. He faced her and sensing his gaze on her she too looked up at him and both of them simply burst out laughing at their own silliness.
The two of them then together waved like some Royal Princesses and could not help but giggle all the way while doing so. Even the people passing by could feel the joy between the two. Armaan looked at Ridhima who looked so happy, this was the first time Armaan had seen her laugh whole heartedly and without a doubt it was the most beautiful site he had ever seen. Her eyes were shinning with happiness and the amount of satisfaction it gave his heart could not be expressed in words. He looked up and sent a silent prayer to the almighty to grant him the joy of being greeted by this million dollar smile each day of his life. He did not even realize when his hand had stopped waving as he just sat looking at her with a blissful sigh.
Ridhima who noticed that he had stopped waving nudged him asking him what happened to which he just shook his head and continued waving his hands along with her...As the ride ended they got down still giggling at what they just did. "oh...oh my god Armaan...I just can't stop laughing, this was actually so much fun...Tumne sahi kaha tha silly is indeed better than boring...Oh god main...main aaj se pehle itna kabhi nahi hasi hu Said Ridhima trying to catch her breaths as she laughed inconsolably. "Aur main tumhe itna khush deke bohot khush huSaid Armaan with a sift smile as he stood with arms crossed against his chest. Hearing him Ridhima immediately stopped laughing and looked up wondering if what she heard was right. She almost expected Armaan to correct himself but he did not, rather he stood in the same position and looked straight into her eyes conveying that he meant every word of what he said. They both stood in the same position for a while, Ridhima trying hard to read his eyes, for some reason she could see something very different in them but what she could not make out and Armaan trying his best to convey how much he loved her. It was a loud gush of wind that brought them out of their zone. Ridhima tucked a strand of hair behind her ears, almost uncomfortable at the fact that they had shard an eye lock. "Uhmm kafi der ho gayi hai and its getting cold as well, I think we should leave, we have a long day tomorrow as well said Armaan as he saw her fidget feeling slightly embarrassed. Ridhima just nodded her head and soon enough both of them headed back towards their hotel with a smile on their faces as they remembered the beautiful evening they spent at the park.
It was finally the day of the presentation and as decided Armaan and Ridhima had planned on giving their best leaving the rest to God. And so their they stood in front of the clients presenting their project to the best of their knowledge and abilities...And so keeping all the mentioned points in mind we feel this project would be best completed when collaborated with your company Said Armaan concluding the presentation, while Ridhima nodded in acknowledgment. Thereafter the lights were switched on and the clients took this time to discuss among themselves for a few seconds after which they turned towards Armaan and Ridhima who stood there with their breaths held waiting for their comments and even more for their decision and their wait was not a long one for soon enough the man who led the company spoke up...I...We appreciate that you both have not only agreed to keep this meeting now but have also left your families during the holidays (Christmas/ New Year time). Trust us we loved the presentation, you both complement each other very well and indeed make a wonderful team , the way you carried on through the presentation deserves an applaud, hands down one of the best presentations we have seen till date... said the man making both Armaan and Ridhima smile widely. "However...We loved the *Presentation* but we are definitely not very pleased with the project Pointed out another man making both Armaan and Ridhima's smile fade away. They shared a look of concern for somewhere they knew what was coming up. "The project is not bad...but it's an idea used too many times in the market already and not to forget it's failed a few times as well...We would not have minded otherwise but we are looking for something fresh, something very new yet something so classical, something that touches hearts and at the same time satisfies our pockets...I hope you're understanding our point Said the team leader. "Yes sir we understand your point and you are right in your place...We obviously cannot and would not force you and can only request you to give it another thought but the final decision lies with you Replied Ridhima keeping her professional tone intact. The men looked at each other and after a mini discussion they were all set to say a no when Armaan who all along stood silently, thinking deeply about something spoke up. "Sir before you give your decision I would request you to look at our other project. We normally try and prepare two options for our clients and since you have not liked our first option I request you to spare us some more time to let us guide you through our second option and thereafter you're free to decide anything as per your choice. Ridhima had a small frown as she really could not get what he was saying, as far as she remembered there was no PLAN-B, but before she could ask anything she heard the man speaking giving his approval to Armaan's request. Thereafter without wasting a second more Armaan took Ridhima's laptop making her frown deeper for she really could not understand what he was up to. He scanned through the files in the laptop and finally found what he had been looking for clicking on it, he dimmed the lights as the first slide of the presentation was projected through the projector and as soon as Ridhima saw that her eyes grew wide in shock. She kept staring at the screen still in a state of shock when she felt Armaan whisper in her ear "This is your chance Ridhi, don't lose it...Not everyone gets a second chance, make the best of this. "While she still stood rooted doing nothing but gazing at the screen. "Shall we start? Asked another man making Armaan nod. Armaan then very briefly explained the project "Ridhima here who is actually the creator of this project will take you through more minute details said Armaan looking towards Ridhima who was still a little lost. He nudged her lightly making her look towards him as if asking whether she should really go ahead or not and seeing him blink she knew she had to heck she wanted to do it. This was her dream project, her baby...Yes she was apprehensive about Vian's reaction but now they anyway did not have a choice and so keeping everything for later she decided to give this her best shot, because somewhere deep down she had a very positive feeling about this in her heart and so on she went presenting the project that she could talk about even in her sleep...Soon enough the presentation ended and the client requested for a few minutes alone for they really wanted to discuss something very important before they gave their verdict and so Armaan and Ridhima stepped out for a moment.
"Armaan yeh sab? Yeh mera project? Aur Viaan ka kya? You think he will agree??? The very second they got out Ridhima bombarded Armaan with questions making him shake his head. "Realx Ridhi...Meri baat suno...When that man was talking about what kind of a project are they actually looking for, undoubtedly the first thing that came to my mind was your project. Isliye maine socha ki kyu na hum unhe yeh present karke dekhe...Aur rahi baat Vian ki, to jitna bhi annoying, egoistic whatever you want to call it hi kyu na if he comes to know we lost the deal he would be way more pissed than the fact that your idea was taken and not his. For him the company is important and company ki bhalai uske project se ho ya tumhare does not bother him, in fact he would be happy that we did not just lose hope and walked away when they were going to refuse our earlier project, rather we took a rational decision and did what's best for our company Explained Armaan making her non slightly for she knew he was right. "Lekin Armaan...What if they reject this also? asked Ridhima now unsure of her own her work, she had already failed once in it and did not want to fail again. Armaan smiled hearing her question, he was almost sure this was coming up because no matter how hard she tried she could definitely not conceal her emotions in front of him...There is no reason for them to reject this project...I am sure they will love it Said Armaan holding her hand out of nowhere making her look up for this was totally unexpected. Armaan could read the surprise in her eyes yet he made no attempt to leave her hand rather he turned towards her still hand in hand "You have worked very hard for this Ridhi, main janta hue ek baar tum thokar kha chuki ho and that's why your scared but trust me when I saw this aaj jab hum yaha se jayange to you would already be one step closer to your dream Said Armaan looking straight in her eyes while she too got lost in those captivating grey eyes "You think so? she asked in a mere whisper while they stood in the same position. "I know so replied Armaan without a second thought, and maybe his voice, maybe his eyes, maybe just him but for some reason she wanted to believe him and somewhere her heart already did.
Just then a Janitor came to inform them that they were being called back in the conference room and so with thumping hearts they made their way back inside. "Miss. Ridhima...Mr. Armaan did mention that you are the creator of this project, is that true? Asked one man in a very strict tone making not only Ridhima but Armaan too very nervous. "Yes...Yes I am she replied as confidently as she could, nervous or no that lady was a pro at portraying some other emotion as and when needed. All members present looked towards Ridhima with a scrutinizing face that soon broke in a wide grin. "Miss. Ridhima in our entire career we have never seen a project so brilliantly planned and prepared...Its par excellence, maybe more is possible and it would be a shame on us if don't collaborate with this. We are sorry we had to make you wait but that's because we needed to get the contact papers...Take your time, go through it, send it to your senior and then sign it, but pls do sign it because we definitely want this project, to the extent that we are ready to tweak a few clauses in the contract if need be. Said the leader handing her the contract papers while she stood absolutely quite not believing what just happened, her dream that till yesterday she felt was no more is right in front of her today being her reality. She looked at the contact papers in her hand trying to make herself believe that this was true... Congratulations on the deal and we hope to be doing some big work together and very soon said the head shaking hands with Ridhima first then Armaan and that's when reality actually sunk in making an automatic smile come on her face. "Thank you...thank you so much beamed Ridhima and looked towards Armaan who himself had a million dollar smile on his face and look of pride in his eyes, he gave her a thumbs up making her smile even more. He then just stood there lightly leaning on the door frame watching everyone congratulate her and praise her work while he himself admired her. He was not only happy for her, he was very proud of her. He looked at her flashing her best smile and sighed blissfully "Yeh to kuch nahi hai Ridhima...A lot more success and joy is yet to enter your life... He thought as a huge smile made its way on his face as well.
It had been two days since Armaan and Ridhima got the deal. They had spoken to Viaan who as Armaan had already mentioned had no choice but to agree to let the clients take Ridhima's project. The clients were in fact so impressed that they finished off all the formalities within a day itself thus, leaving Armaan and Ridhima absolutely for the last few days that they had left in New York. It was 31st December and they had planned to spend the evening at Times Square and ring in the New Year there itself. They hadn't met the whole day as the previous night they had come back pretty late from the Broadway show they had gone to watch and hence spend the whole day resting in their respective rooms.
It was around 8:30pm when a fully dressed Armaan stood outside Ridhima's room waiting for her to open the door. He had been ringing the bell since the last ten minutes but she still had not opened the door, worried he was just removing his cellphone to call her when the door opened very slowly "Oh God Ridhi what were you even doing? Main kabse... he stopped his rant midway as he finally had a look at her. There she stood still in her pajamas and a sweatshirt, her hair was tied in a very messy bun, her eyes tired and swollen, face pale and nose bright red in short she looked like a complete mess, she looked sick. "Sorry...I did not hear the bell she said in a raspy voice followed by a sneeze. "Hey...kya hua? Are you alright? You look so sick Ridhi he asked worriedly placing his palm over her forehead only to find it burning hot "Oh My God tumhe...tumhe to bohot tez bukhar hai he stated worriedly. "Uhmm ha woh...thod...thoda sa she said with a lot of difficulty as every word spoken was piercing her already sore throat. "Thoda? Yeh thoda nahi hai...Halat dekho apni, you can barely speak a word and...Tum yeh sab chodo aur andar chalo...come He said taking her hand and guiding her back inside the room turning a deaf ear to all her protests. "Tum yaha baitho araam se...Aur pehele to mujhe yeh batao did you take any medicine? He asked as he carefully sat her on the bed and passed her a tissue as she sneezed once again. "I...I was just about to take one she replied wiping her running nose with the tissue. "God...Ridhi you should have really had one by now, anyway kaha rakhi hai davai, main la deta hu? he said, lightly scolding her for being foolish enough to still wait to take a medicine. She told him where the medicine was and getting it from there he passed it to her with a glass of water that he warmed up a bit using the electric kettle in the room. Making her have the medicine he also forced her to finish at least half the glass of water as that would really help in soothing her throat. "I...I am fine Ar...Armaan...Woh yaha bohot tha..thand haina so I...I am sure the weather has just gotten to me...Th..theek ho jayega...You do...don't worry She said in a broken voice, coughing and sneezing in between. "Ek word bola nahi ja raha and still she's saying fine...God this girl is unbelievable He muttered under his breath while shaking his head. "Ku..kuch kaha?she asked looking up at him as he was still standing beside her, hearing which he just shook his head "Nahi, I dint say anything...Anyway ab tum sab chodo aur thodi der rest karo. Sirf davai lene se kuch nahi hone wala you need to let your body heal as well... He said as he himself helped her to lie down and tucked her cozily inside the large blanket making sure to keep her warm. He was placing her medicine on her side table when he felt her hold his hand and call his name out "Kya hua? he asked bending a little towards her to hear her clearly since her voice could barely be heard "Mai...Main theek hu...Tum..Do...Don't spoil your eve...evening...Go and en...enjoy she said, rather whispered almost dosing off for the medicine she took was very strong. For some time he just kept staring at her face not saying a word, "Go to sleep he said after a few minutes looking straight into her eyes not even bothering to reply to what she said. "Ar... She tried saying something but he simply cut her off by placing his palm over eyes "Just sleep he said with a tone that was authoritative yet so loving. Within a few minutes he felt her breaths turn shallow and he knew for a fact that she had fallen asleep. He looked at her pale face and his heart twist, he remembered how she actually asked him leave her alone and go out to enjoy...really this girl needed one reality check he thought ."Pagal he muttered shaking his head and bending down placed a feather like kiss on her forehead.
After two hours Ridhima stirred a bit waking up slowly from her sleep which indeed made her feel much better. She looked around with sleepy eyes and found herself completely alone in the room that was pitch dark with only a small lamp light lit on one side. She assumed that Armaan had left and though she herself had asked him to do so she could not help but feel a little disappointment. "Yeh main kya soch rahi hu...I only asked him to go and he should also woh kyu tumhare liye apna New Year kharab karega she thought to herself with a sigh. She thought to just get back to sleep since she really wasn't in the mood to get up and do something else and hence she was just closing her eyes when out of nowhere the whole room was lit up with the main lights switched on. Frowning at the sudden she disturbance she first covered her eyes a bit but on hearing the next voice she almost got a mini heart attack "Hey...uth gayi tum??? How are you feeling now??? Opening her eyes in a flash she looked towards door that led to the attached living room and found him standing there in a pair of casual track pants and a black hoodie...Arm...Armaan tum yaha..yaha kya kar rahe ho??? she asked in a perplexed tone as she got up and sat herself on the bed. "Hmm bukhar pehle se kam hai and your voice sounds better too said Armaan checking her forehead completely ignoring her question. "Armaan tum...leave that and tell me tum yaha kya kar rahe ho? Aren't you supposed to be at Times Square ringing in the New Year on a happy note??? She asked really not understanding what he was doing there. " And aren't you supposed to be talking less and resting your throat??? he asked back glaring at her and passing her some water as she coughed a bit due to her still itchy throat. "Armaan par... "Par kya Ridhi??? Do you really think I would have gone out leaving my best friend in such a state??? Do I really look that bad a person to you? He asked in a slightly upset tone. Why couldn't this girl just get it that he loved her beyond words to leave her alone in a state and specially then when she needed him the most. "Best Friend? she asked in a mere whisper as if confirming whether what she head was right or not. "Yes of course! Don't tell me you ever doubted that? Tum mujhe itne ache se janti ho, itne ache se samajti ho, humesha mera sath deti ho, mere liye cook bhi karti ho he said the last line with a slight chuckle making her chuckle as well. "To batao hui na tum meri best frined? he asked with a raised eyebrow to which she just nodded. "Acha batao am I your best friend? he asked just casually to which she shook her head making him frown "NO? he confirmed to which she shook her head again making him actually feel bad "You are not my best friend because you are my bestest friend... She said with a wide smile and slightly misty eyes making him smile widely as well.
"Acha ab dekho its almost 12 aur tum abhi bhi yahi baithi ho? ...I mean do you really want to start the New Year sleeping...Obviously not! Isliye jaldi se utho freshen up and come to the living room...Common hurry up he said literally pushing her inside the washroom. After fifteen minutes she came to the living room looking much more fresh than before and was surprised to find the floor of the living room covered with multiple throw pillows while two warm blankets were kept on either side of them. There was a huge box of pizza and two mugs of piping hot chocolate placed on the ground as well. "Armaan yeh sab kya hai??? Asked a totally confused Ridhima to Armaan who had his back towards her. "Oh tum agayi??? I was just going to come and ask you which movie would you like to watch but ab tum aa hi gayi ho to khud hi bata do said Armaan giving her his phone to let her browse through Netflix. "Lekin Armaan yeh sab hai kya? I mean what's with all this arrangement? She asked him again "Ohh this? This is our very own Private New Year party...See maine socha just because we can't go out does not mean we need to have a boring night we can very well ring in the New Year with our very own party right here and still have the same amount of fun, right? He explained to which she nodded with a smile wondering how and when did she get so lucky to have a person like him in her life, he made her feel so happy, so cared for, he made her feel loved.She tried so hard but for some reason she could just not keep on her mask with him... "Uhuh aha khoyi ho? Movie batao na? he said bringing her out of her thoughts. Selecting some random comedy movie they sat themselves on the ground and snuggled up in a warm blanket each they attacked the yummy pizza and sipped on their hot chocolate which felt heavenly. The movie turned out to be very funny and they could just not stop laughing throughout. At exactly 11:59 Armaan's phone buzzed as he had set an alarm smiling widely he paused the movie making her frown...Arey its 11:59... He said excitedly and nothing more was needed they both waited excitedly for the clock to tick and soon enough "Ten...Nine...Eight...Seven...Six...Five...Four ...Three...Two...One...HAPPY NEW YEAR they yelled in union while bursting into bits of laughter just like two teenagers would. They were literally rolling in fits of laughter when Ridhima got up excusing herself for a second still giggling away. She came back in less than a minute and offered him a bar of chocolate. "Yeh chocolate kyu? he asked somehow controlling his laughter now sitting up straight and taking the bar from her hand. "Woh tumhe yadd hai when I was presenting my project to tumne kaha tha when you do something important you have something sweet as a sign of good luck? She asked him to which she just nodded remembering the time he took her to the canteen and made her have a pastry. "To aaj main tumse wada karti hu ki I will always be your best friend and jis tarah se tumne hamehsa mera sath diya hai main bhi humesha tumhara sath dungi...I will be with you in every step of your life...Is liye main yeh chocolate layi hu because tumhari dosti mere liye bohot zyada important hai so well jaise ki tum kehte ho something sweet for good luck so here it is... She said breaking a small piece and feeding it to him. Touched would be a small word, he was overwhelmed with her words... "Aur tum mere liye bohot important ho He said breaking a small piece of chocolate and feeding her making her smile brightly. "Thank You... she said with watery smile and he did not even need to ask her for why. "Happy New Year... he said in that loving tone looking at her with that soft look in his eyes and dimpled smile...
~Cut from flashback, back to present~
It had been an hour since Armaan had reached his office an since then he had been consumed in the memories of his past. It was when his assistant came to call him for the meeting did he actually come out of his reverie. "I'll be there in two minutes he told his assistant. Thereafter he took a deep breath and got up but not before glancing at picture of him and Ridhima kept on his desk.
~2 days later, Day of the Pooja~
Armaan who was dressed in a simple white kurta pajama held a slightly cranky Arima in his arms as he checked the final arrangements for the pooja. "Panditji sab saman wagera sahi hai na? App ek baar check kar lijiye asked Armaan patting Arima's back as she fidgeted restlessly in his arms. "Jee beta sab theek hai, bas thode samey mein muhurat shuru ho jayega tab hum Pooja shuru kar sakte hai...tab tak mein zara tayari kar deta hu Replied the panditji to which Armaan nodded and walked away to open the door as the bell had rang. He opened the door only to find all his friends there...Nikki, Abhimanyu, Rahul, Anjali. "Guys...tum sab? he asked confused seeing all of them. "Oye tujhe kya laga tu nahi bulayega to hum nahi ayenge... Asked Rahul feigning offence. "Na..nahi woh... Armaan tried justifying but Abhi just cut him off in between "Chal chal ab nataunki band kar...Tujhe kya lagta hai hum aaj ke din tujhe akela chod denge "Armaan we would never leave you today..Aur yeh din jitna tere liye important hai utna humare liye bhi hai Said Anjali placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. Armaan just mouthed a thank you to all of them too chocked up to actually say something. Just then they heard the panditji calling out for them since it was time for the Pooja to start. After a lot of cajoling Nikki took Arima with her and sat a little away so that Armaan could properly sit for the Pooja. It was hardly 15 minutes through the Pooja when Arima started wailing loudly chanting Armaan's name. Nikki tried her best to calm her down but she just did not stop, not being able to bare his baby crying so much Armaan asked the panditji to stop for a minute and himself got up and walked towards the couch where Niki sat with Arima. As soon as Arima saw him she stretched her tiny arms towards him, "Dadda she cried as he carried her. "Shh its okay bacha...Dada is right here princess, kuch nahi hua okay? Stop crying...shhh she coed gently rubbing her back to calm her down. "I am sorry Armaan maine bohot koshish ki par... Nikki tried explaining but Armaan just stopped her midway "it's okay Nikki...she's anyway been very cranky since morning so usmein tumhari galti nahi hai...I'll just keep her with me. Vaise bhi is Pooja main baithne ka haq ha uska said Armaan looking down at Arima who had by then calmed down. He walked back to the Pooja and sitting down on the mattress he made Arima sit on his lap and asked the Panditji to continue. Arima was really fascinated with everything that was happening and thus tried getting her hands on everything but Armaan obviously held her back in place. He looked down to see her playing with the small flower he gave her and smiled seeing how easily she got distracted. He placed a light kiss on the top of her head as the Panditji went about chanting some prayers. "Jiske atma ki shanti ke liye yeh Barsi (Death anniversary) Pooja rakhwayi hai us Vyakti ka naam lijiye Said the panditji making Armaan look at the huge picture with a garland on it kept right in front of them. He did not know for how long was he staring at that picture, it was surely long enough to turn his eyes heavy and bring tears to them...RIDHIMA ARMAAN MALIK he said almost inaudibly as a tear drop finally betrayed him and left his eye.

I'll get back to you on this personally, right now let's talk about the part.</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"> Hayyeee... Armaan na, he is such a sweet guy! All that he did for her was so sweet and romantic. That carriage scene toh stole my heart, it was my most favourite scene of the part (most funny too) hehe. The way he supported her for the presenatation thing was also really adorable and then, he had already decided for her to present her idea! That was a really wonderful scene, and so like Armaan!! It was actually so good to see how he made her do that and then they got the project, and the end where he watched her proudly... well I can only imagine his face and I just loveee that look when Armaan has that face😳
Then the new year celebration, it would have been better if she wasn't sick, but well I guess it only turned the whole thing cute all because of his pampering. How dumb of her, can't she realize already, of course he is not just your "best friend"! But well what can I say... she is just paglu like you I guess. 😛😆But I loved how she gave him chocolate and confessed how important he was for her. About everything that follow from there in the part... I will talk to you ache se about that, just not here😡</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"> I was hoping against hope that it wasn't going to happen, but I guess it had to end that way. But chalo koi nahi, you have something good in your mind I am sure, so I will just be waiting to see how you unfold the story ahead, and what exactly happened to Riddhima and WHY!🤢😭</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"> So anyway... all in all, the part was really amazingly written, he was tooo adorable. There were such cute scenes I just can't get over it and I really enjoyed the flashback scenes. Oh oh... and I forgot to mention... ARIMA!! He is already so cute ek toh, and then when you describe him as her dad na, it's like epitome of cuteness. It just is tooo good to handle ok, he cannot be so cute. So yeah, basically I loved the whole part, and I guess I love you also a little❤️ (for the flashback scenes ONLY!!)💔</font><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2"> I am supremely glad that you at least decided to update, so thank you for that. And I will be eagerly waiting for the rest of the story (not just the next part, I am sure you know what I mean!) SO you better hurry up and update sooon!!</font>
