Riddhima was always the perfect daddy's girl, the perfect daughter. Always prim and proper, the best girl in school with probably straight A's in all grades and admitted into the best medical college. The girl who never bunked, was teacher's pet, was always wearing the proper uniform. She had a fun side to her, but never discovered it for she was too damn involved in her studies.
So she became a doctor. To impress her dad and to be like him. Like every daughter wants to be. She had never had a boyfriend, never even had a lot of male friends. She was pristine and innocent, extremely serious and focused. She never joked a lot, never had a lot of fun. Work and studies always topped her priority list.
Then she joined Sanjeevani, aiming to be the best intern of the year and show it to her father. And then she met Armaan. The fun-loving, messy and naughty guy who always played pranks and was never serious. Who had had hell lot of girlfriends, was a 'ameer baap ki bigdi aulad'. She hated all his pranks, all his jokes. She was always the topic of his jokes, and she hated that. But then she started liking it. For the first time in her life, there was someone who liked her, liked spending time with her, liked making her laugh. And she opened up, her fun side revealed only to him. He made her laugh and did all these little, shy romantic things that no one had ever done to her and she loved it. She had started falling in love with him when she came to know all of that was for a stupid bet. And that was the first time she was totally broken from inside. Her trust was shattered.
But then again he apologised, they became friends. Then again he started doing those silly things that make her all fuzzy from inside. And then she found out about her real family. She found console in him, cuz he was her only friend. She was never too close to Atul and Sapna, and not to Anjali at all, who was totally the opposite of her. And then again she found he had known everything. Again her trust broke.
Then finally she fell in love wit him. They fought, they cried, they laughed, they confessed. The confession was difficult for her cuz she had never really understood herself. She failed to understand that she could fall in love, that too with a guy like Armaan. She had always imagined her dream guy to be a serious, mature guy who would understand her better. Totally opposite to Armaan. Even so, she cnfessed, they had a hell lot many happy times together. And se dint want to tell anyone. Not because she was embarrassed of the relationship, not because she dint love him, but because she wanted their relationship to become stronger. Not a mere flick that would end and make them both embarrassed before everyone. She wanted to be dead sure that they did love each other and it wasnt merely some kinda flick. And because she actually wanted to trust him,because it was hard to trust a guy who had broken her from inside so many times.
And then he went and did that Muskaan thing. WIthout telling her. And she found out from someone else. That was when she had to review her decision all over again. Was she right to love someone who was so damn non-serious about their relationship that he dint even bother to tell her that he had gone to some girl's house pretending to be her boyfriend? Did he not understand the intensity of his mistake? That was why she chose to confront him, and it all ended up in a huge mess.
