Chapter 132

"We're over here!" Armaan called out to Riddhima, gesturing to the queue for first class, while she was walking towards economy.

"What?" Riddhima asked, confused.

"Humaari queue yeh hai, Basket," Armaan repeated.

"First class?" Riddhima questioned, surprised.

Armaan nodded, grinning widely. "Yes!"

"Lekin, Armaan… That must've been so expensive! Tumne first class ki tickets kyu li? Hum economy mein bhi toh jaa sakte the!" Riddhima protested.

"Come on, Jaan! It's our honeymoon! Ab agar yeh sab nahi karenge toh kab karenge?" Armaan questioned rhetorically. Riddhima made a face at that, to which he added, "Aur waise bhi, the entire trip is sponsored by Billy, toh koi budget constraints nahi hai!"

"What? Armaan!" Riddhima exclaimed. Before she could say anything else, their seats were called out and they were guided inside the aircraft.

Riddhima had never flown first class before, so all her protests died as she sat down on the cushy seat with insane leg room. The flight hadn't even taken off, but flight attendants were walking to every seat, offering food, beverages, and even alcohol. Unable to stop, Riddhima requested for a few chocolates, making Armaan laugh. As she relished the taste of some French concoction that she couldn't pronounce the name of, Armaan laughed. "Ab tumhe koi problem nahi hai first class se?"

"Well, these chocolates are heavenly," she stated. "But seriously, Armaan. It's too much. Aur tumne Dad se paise kyu liye?"

"Dad se nahi lunga toh kisse lunga?" Armaan wondered out loud. "Waise bhi, maine liye nahi. He offered. Well, offered is a tame word. Unhone toh literally dhamki di thi mujhe that I am not supposed to skimp on anything because of the cost."

"Bookings toh tumne khud kiye honge na?" Riddhima asked.

"Haan, woh toh maine hi kiye," Armaan agreed.

"Toh unhe kaise pata chalta tumne kya book kiya hai? Keh dete na budget mein sab ho gaya," Riddhima advised, making Armaan cackle.

"What?" Riddhima sniffed.

"Come on, Basket! Billy koi itne bhi stupid nahi hai. Don't you think he knows ki Italy mein kisi bhi cheez ka kya price range hoga?" Armaan asked her. Riddhima rolled her eyes. "Toh tum mana kar dete na! You should've said that we'll manage."

"Kaisi baatein kar rahi ho tum!" Armaan exclaimed. "Achcha ek baat batao… Kal jab humaare bachche honge, aur woh humse kisi cheez ke liye paise maangenge… If we can afford it, toh hum unhe denge nahi kya? As a matter of fact, even if we can't, won't we try our hardest?"

"Har cheez ke liye nahi," Riddhima answered decisively. "Bachchon ki har zidd poori nahi karni chahiye! Especially not like Dad is doing. Ab… Yeh Air France se travel karna zaroori hai? It's already such an expensive airline, aur tumne flight bhi woh choose ki hai jiska layover Paris mein hai!"

"Of course!" Armaan exclaimed. "Tum kya chaahti thi? Ki Dubai mein layover wali flight choose karu? When we're on our honeymoon? No way!"

"But, Armaan… Dad has already spent too much on us!" Riddhima protested. "Humne flat renovate karaya toh Dad ne kisi cheez ke paise humein dene nahi diye. And then he sent over all those high end electronics. Matlab, 70 inch tv ka humein kya kaam? Kitna toh time milta hai humein tv dekhne ka bhi?

Jab bachelorette ki baat aayi, tab bhi he footed the bill for that lavish party. Matlab Taj Mahal Palace mein itne saare arrangements karna is not a joke. Wahaan bhi kitna kharcha hua hoga!

And then, for the wedding, Mom aur Dad ne mujhe kitne saare naye kapde diye. I have an entirely new wardrobe. Don't even get me started on how much jewellery they've given me. Har din kisi rasam ya pooja ke bahane kuch de dete the.

Aur mujhe pata hai ki shaadi ki har ceremony ke liye Dad ne equally contribute kiya for the arrangements - booking se leke catering tak.

All of this is already too much. Ab tum keh rahe ho ki Dad is also paying for our honeymoon. This is not right, Armaan. Humein Dad se itne paise nahi lene chahiye. Humaari shaadi ho gayi hai, for God's sake. Ab bhi unse paise lenge hum? Achcha lagta hai kya?"

She finally finished making her point and waited for Armaan to say something. When he didn't utter a single word for a couple of minutes, she shook him. "Armaan! Tum kuch bologe?"

"Oh!" Armaan exclaimed. "Tumhaara ho gaya? Mujhe laga kuch aur bologi isliye ruka hua tha tumhaare liye."

"It's not funny!" Riddhima seethed.

"But it is! Tum kitna sochti ho, Basket!" Armaan said. "Mujhe nahi pata tha tumne aise poori list banake rakhi hai to tally ki Billy ne tumpe kitne paise kharch kiye. I seriously underestimated you!"

"Of course I noticed!" Riddhima cried. "How could I not?"

"Riddhima, ek baat sach-sach batana," Armaan started, the sudden change in his voice making Riddhima realize that whatever he was about to say, she might not like it, but it would be correct. He'd called her Riddhima! He only ever did that when things were extremely serious.

"Kya?" Riddhima asked, even though she was afraid to know.

"Tumne kabhi bhi yeh hisaab rakha ki Papa ne tumpe kya aur kyu spend kiya hai?" Armaan questioned her.

"That's different," Riddhima said, not answering his question, because she understood the point he was trying to make.

"How is it different?" Armaan probed.

"Well, for starters, Papa ne kabhi mere kisi trip ke liye nahi kaha ki koi budget nahi hai," Riddhima pointed out.

Armaan rolled his eyes. "Was every trip your honeymoon?"

"No," Riddhima reluctantly replied.

"But, phir bhi… Papa ne kabhi aisa nahi kaha ki jao first class mein travel karo, ya kabhi koi expensive 5 star hotels nahi book ki taaki main apne friends ke saath party kar sakun!" Riddhima added, wanting to gain some footing in this debate.

"Haan, kyuki sasurjee hai hi boring!" Armaan exclaimed, laughing loudly.

"Armaan! No masti!" Riddhima scolded.

"Peace," Armaan immediately replied, holding up his hands in the peace sign. "No, but… On a serious note… I get it. Kuch logon ko yeh sab cheezein unnecessary lagti hain. Bin matlab ke kharche. Aur, I'm sure Papa tumhe sikhana chaahte the ki just because paise hain, iska yeh matlab nahi hai ki tum bina soche-samjhe kharch kardo. I get his point.

But, Dad isn't like that. He doesn't see these as just luxuries. He sees the comfort in the luxury. Ab dekho, yeh first class ki seats economy se better hai ya nahi?" At Riddhima's nod, he continued. "Toh, apne 12-15 ghante kj flight, hum wahaan economy mein adjust karke baithe, jahaan hum suffocate ho jaaye, humein achche se pair rakhne ki bhi jagah no ho… Isliye Billy ne kaha ki first class se jao, taaki hum dono comfortably apni journey spend karein.

Aur haan, maine wahaan humaare liye ki hai 5 star hotel mein booking. But… That's also because it's comfortable. Unki location easily accessible hoti hai, unke rooms achche hote hain, the beds are very comfortable. Wahaan ka staff bohot helpful hota hai. Aur wahaan bohot saari amenities available hoti hai. Hoti haina?"

"Haan," Riddhima agreed.

"Basket, hum apne honeymoon pe chill aur relax karne jaa rahe hain. Yeh jo pichle kuch mahino mein humaara itna zyada hectic schedule raha hai, uski thakaan utaarne. Ek doosre ke saath time spend karne. Toh, ab tum chaahti ho ki hum wahaan jaake hotel ki chinta kare, ki room achcha hoga ya nahi, bathroom mein se gandi smell aayegi ya nahi, bed pe keede honge ya nahi… Ya phir baaki sab tension chodke sirf ek doosre pe focus karein?" Armaan asked her.

"Fine," Riddhima relented. "I get your point. Even though tum thode classist ho rahe ho kyuki sirf 5 star hotels hi achchi nahi hoti. There are other hotels that are not 5 stars which also have great rooms, good amenities, and are easily accessible."

"I know," Armaan told her. "But Billy doesn't. Ab unhe aadat nahi rahi na. He always stays at at least a 5 star. In fact aajkal toh woh 7 stars prefer karne lage hain. He finds even 5 stars lacking. Toh unhe agar main yeh kahoon, ki Billy main aapki beti ko kisi 3 star hotel mein rukaane wala hoon, toh woh meri jaan le lenge!"

Riddhima giggled at that. "That sounds like Dad."

"I'm not joking. He actually said that to me… Ki agar maine 5 star se neeche ki booking ki toh woh meri jaan le lenge," Armaan clarified. "He wants us to have fun, Basket. Tumhe kya lagta hai? I didn't protest? I did. Maana ki main unse paise lene se pehle nahi sochta… We've always had that kind of relationship. I mean, Billy has more money than seven generations in our family would need. Shayad isliye, maine kabhi paise maangne se pehle itna khayal nahi kiya jaise tum kar rahi ho, but even I know ki yeh kitna zyada extravagant hai. So, I tried to say no. But he didn't listen. He wanted us to have a very memorable trip. And he wanted to spoil us. Tumhe pata haina… He especially loves to spoil you. He really loves you, Basket."

"Okay," Riddhima said. "I won't fuss about the money."

"That's like my girl," Armaan praised, dropping a lingering kiss on her forehead. Riddhima sighed, resting her head on Armaan's shoulder. Armaan pulled the armrest from between them so that she could snuggle in closer.

"But ek baat kahoon?" Riddhima asked a few moments later.

"Anything," Armaan assured.

"Tum phir kabhi aisa mat kehna ki mere liye Papa aur Dad alag hain," Riddhima stated. "Armaan… I love Dad. I love Mom. Mere liye unme aur Mumma aur Papa mein kabhi koi fark nahi raha. Aur tumhe pata hai, kabhi-kabhi toh main Dad ke saath zyada comfortable feel karti hoon. You know I turn to him for advice more than Papa these days. Because I trust him and I love him. Mere liye woh kabhi mere father-in-law nahi banenge. He'll always be my father. And I will always love him like one. Isliye please… Aisi baatein dobara mat karna. I don't like it."

"I'm sorry," Armaan apologized. "Mera woh matlab nahi tha. I know tumhaare liye Billy Papa se alag nahi hain."

Riddhima smiled up at him and kissed his cheek. Then, she fondly rubbed away the lipstick on his skin, making Armaan smile. "Okay! Bohot ho gayi ab yeh sab serious baatein! For the next two weeks we are only going to have fun!"

"Aisa koi rule hai?" Riddhima asked.

"Of course!" Armaan replied promptly. "Full masti, full shaitaani, aur bohot memories hain banani!"

Riddhima laughed. "Tum kabhi nahi badloge na? You're so stupid! I love you!"

"I love you," Armaan replied, hugging her close. "And, it made you smile."

Hearing that made Riddhima smile wider. She had the best husband in the entire world.

The babies are getting so much love. They will definitely be raised by a village.

Armaan and Riddhima are finally off to their honeymoon. Hopefully all of it will not be spent shopping.

They are being sent off like they were going away for a long time. They are just going for a few weeks.
