Hi All

I know many have requested a Bedtime Fan Fiction and i this is for everyone who has requested another story like ~Life Support~

I would like to thank Jia for her support to post this and Zuzu for giving me her permission to use Heartbeat as a title for this.... As she has a Fan Fiction by the same name😳... Thanks Guys.

This is to everyone who loved ~Life Support~ and the other Bedtime Fan Fiction lovers... Jo and NJ not forgeting u either😉.... I hope i do not disappoint you all as im not sure i can create the same magic in Life support but this will be different ......

~~Heartbeat~~

Armaan looked over at her in disbelief as she stood in front of him?. Riddhima Gupta CEO of Padmini Industry.... He looked over at Chirag their company needed this Tender and the competition in the room was strong....They where all set to get the Marketing campaign!... Feeling his throat dry and his heart racing as she now stood in front of him with nothing but her cold eyes looking at him as he smiled weakly.

"What Armaan? Don't tell me she was the one??" Chirag looked over at him as he lowered his eyes and sat down on the sofa pulling his tie..

"Man I cant believe it as we need this tender! We got everything riding on this deal?? Dude..." Armaan looked at him fall on the sofa next to him.

"Yeah she the one I dumped in high school she hates me!?" Armaan sighed staring into space.......

~~Flash Back~~

"Riddhima!" He looked over at her as she smiled in his arms on the dance floor on the slow number in her prom dress.

"We been like together since sophomore and we had some good times together...." Closing her eyes her heart raced..... he's going to ask me to marry him at the senior prom like now?OMG!!

"Uh....What I am trying to say is with us going to different college...I don't think a long distance romance will work and this will give us time to meet new people...." He looked at the colour drain from her face and knew this was something he had to do...Seeing the tears running down her face he looked at her and locked his jaw in anger but he composed himself and looked at her.

"Look we both had a great time right and since I will not be going to LA University with you as I have a scholarship in New York ...i don't think the long distance thing will work!" He is dumping me and that at the Prom??

"Is this because I don't want to have sex until after marriage!" she looked at him as he lowered his face.... Wow I guess if he can't respect that then I don't think he is the one either?.... man I'll been with him for over a year and I thought I knew him I guess I was completely wrong?

He looked at her as the disco ball reflected around the gym hall decorated in the high school colours of yellow and blue... but as the Basket ball captain Armaan had to get laid before graduation it was one of the bets the whole team had made and Riddhima was costing him too much... Now his eyes where set on the blonde cheerleader captain Jasmine and this temptation was something he was not going to past out on..

Riddhima was not understanding the situation and then over the last week he tried to explain to her but she just did not want to understand ... I mean what is the point of being in a relationship for over a year if he was not going to get past first base....

~~Flash back End~~

"Look Armaan I don't care what you have to do but we need this tender I have Ritu and my baby to think about..." Armaan looked over at him.

"Look Chirag I will try!" he said looking at him

"No Armaan you will not try ...you will do what ever it takes and get this tender! We need this 20 million dollar contract!" Armaan nodded as he watch Chirag leave the room

"Come on Ritu got dinner ready!"

" Yeah i will be there in a while" he said looking at him closing the door behind him...

Chirag and Ritu were everything to him after Riddhima... yeah the truth was he lost the bet as he couldn't go through with sleeping with Jasmine... but dumping her for the bet was a complete Lie

Unable to move she looked at the large screen in front of her feeling the words attack her heart…. As she looked down at the Sofa she noticed someone gentle sobbing…composing herself she placed her brief case on the floor as the words and the images on screen engulfed her …

"Bi what are you doing?" she said letting out a sign and sitting down next to her on the sofa next to her…

"OMG beta …I was…" Riddhima look over at her wiping the tears running down her face by the corner of her white duputta as she turned to look over at Riddhima shaking her head at her.

"I tell you beta if I was you're age I given Kayol and Rani a run for there money……" Riddhima looked at her taking a handful of m&m from the bowl on the table.

"Yeah yeah Bi …I can see you running around some trees with Shah Ruk…You not allowed any sugar!" Bi grinned placing the m&m in her mouth.
"You're diabetes will flare up again!" Riddhima said looking at Kajol and SRK at the train station on screen…

"Shhh quiet this is the best scene ….." As the red duputta feel in Rani's hand as Bi started sobbing again…

"They don't make films like this anymore…!" Feeling her own heart feeling heavy and her throat dry she looked over at the screen taking in the emotions… Why was it since she had seen him a week ago the gentle reminders of them where like appearing out of no where and this was there first bollywood movie they watch together and remembering herself crying at the same scene …she remember crying and him gentle placing his arm around her as she sunk into the warmth of his entire body as she silently took in the movie

"Ok Bi time for bed….Anyway how is dad?" Shaanaz bi looked over at her as she turned off the tv.

"He is improving a little …. You should go to see him!" Riddhima nodded.

"Yeah I pop and see him tomorrow morning before I head to the office…but his Alzheimer is not improving he thought I was mom last time and told me to stay away from him… and the other time he blamed me for everything...." Shaanaz bi looked over at her ….. Her mother died when she was 5 years old from cancer and now her father was suffering from Alzheimer …. How he would beat her and if she had not intervened he would have killed the poor girl…. Yet she never complained or made a fuss… She had to convince Riddhima to get him in a specialist hospital but she was scared to and then agreed…. Ever since High school it was as if her smile and laughter had gone away….Poor child had such a rough time and she need someone to love her and make her believe in herself again and make her happy… She avoided people and stick to just her work and when Shanshank informed everyone she was taking over …they where all shocked as she was fresh out of LA university and sitting in the CEO chair within days before his condition got worse…. But for Riddhima the office meant everything it was as if this was something she could control the company.

"Bi?" Riddhima looked at her Shanaaz Bi surprised as she walked into her room holding a tray full of food into her bedroom.

"Get off the laptop now young lady! I know you will not have eaten out and then will be in the kitchen making a mess finding something to eat…In the middle of the night!" Bi looked at her tucking her hair behind her ear as she took hold of the roti from the plate.

"hmmm Bi what would I do without you!" Riddhima mumbled tucking into her food.

"Anjali called?" Shanaaz bi studied her reaction as she carried on eating.

"She getting married! She want's us both to attend!…." Riddhima looked up at her as she sat next to her on the bed.

"You heard what papa said she dead to us since she walked out …I don't think we should go.." Riddhima whispered looking at the food on the tray.

"Beta we all make mistakes and you're father was extremely hurt at the time and…"

"She never cared about anyone but herself and rebelled at everything…she caused papa so many issues…he used to cry in the middle of the night waiting for her to come home ….." Riddhima whispered picking up the glass of water.

"Yeah beta I know but we should give her a chance atleast…you're father still loves her and she wants to see him in the hospital…only if you allow it beta!" Riddhima looked at her and nodded.

"Bi you go to the wedding I don't think I will be up to celebrating anything with her….Since we had that big fight after the Prom and she walked out…" That day change her life completely in more ways then one and parties where always avoided.

"Beta I will never go without you…Ok you eat up we will talk about it in the morning…" Shanaaz bi looked over at her holding the handle on the door.

"Beta I wish we could go to the wedding it be good to see her and she wants to thank you for what you have done for Atul and her…" Riddhima looked up at her surprise…

"You can't hide anything from me….We both know you where the one you recommended Atul Joshi to St Mary Hospital as a heart surgeon and you where the one you paid Anjali's college fees that why she wants you there to thank you… I know you think you're hurting your father by going but beta he's not well and has not been for a long time…. You are the head off the family and you carried out the other responsibility so why not this one…" Riddhima saw the door close gentle as she looked down at her food not in the mood to eat…

This was her life the youngest child in the family…. Papa was all into his work and hired Shannaz bi to look after her and Anjali… Anjali her older sister but she never acted it ….Papa spoiled her and he paid the price when she started hanging out with the wrong crowd… and then was sleeping around… As Armaan had dumped her on the most memorable night of her life she walked into a major row with her father and Anjali.

"I love him Papa!" She shouted

"He loves what you can bring to him….not you!" Shanshank shouted back.

"But papa Vivek wants me to marry him and…"

"NO WAY!" Riddhima looked over at them as Shaanaz bi trying to stop Anjali but was pushed out of the way…nearly knocking her down as she helped her up.

"You want to control everything and I hate you… When momma was dieing you never saw her in fact you cared more about the company then her…that company means more to you then you're daughters…"

"That is not true! I was by her side every night and loved her more then you're ever know!" hearing his voice quiver …Ridhima stepped forward.

"Di Stop it!" Anjali looked at her and grunted

"Why do you stick up for him always Ridz… he a selfish man and love no one but himself …" Feeling her own anger raging from the nights events and what was happening.

"STOP IT DI!" She looked over at her father in tears as he slumped on the sofa…

"Shut up Ridz… you know nothing I am pregnant and Vivek wants me to marry him and he…" Anjali shouted pointing at her father..

"Get out Anjali!" they both looked at over at there father.

"You are dead to me now…!" Anjali looked at her father angrily as she walked up to him

"You have given me no choice papa … I cant live my life locked in a cage with you're rules and you hate every thing I do when the truth is Vivek and I love each other and he wants to marry me he proposal 6 months ago but you…. I found out this morning I am pregnant….papa?" she looked at him getting up unable to balance himself as he headed for the stairs…

"That what you're good at walking away…Yeah well you enjoy you're life here Mr Gupta…"

"DI!" Riddhima took hold of her shoulder and spun her around to face her.

"You're pregnant? And without getting married? Di??" Riddhima looked at her unable to believe what was going on…

"Oh grow up Ridz… people are have sex!! We coming up to the millennium now 2000…"

"But Di you could have waited and…"

"What if he left me Ridz for someone else what was I goin to do?" Seeing the tears running down her face she looked at her.

"Then it was not meant to be…. Period!" Riddhima said firmly thinking about her own battle coming home.

"Yeah will I want him and he me…so we had sex! No major issue I'm marry him and going to have a great life…"

"Di listen to me …. We all talk in the morning and you and papa…"

"He will tell me to abort the child you watch and I do not want to live in the same house as a man who wants my child killed…" Anjali screamed marching to her room…

"Di listen to me…don't be stupid?" Riddhima place her hand on her shoulder

"Don't you dare touch me Ridz I can snap you're head off…" moving back she looked over at Shaanaz bi

"beta we all worked up and …"

"Stay out of this you're just the hired help!" Anjali glared her

*Slap*

"You're angry with me and papa fine but say one word about Bi…" Riddhima glared at her as she looked at her….

"Anjali beta where you going?" Shaanaz bi shouted looking at her with her bags.

"Far away from here…. I have no father and sister ….as I am dead for them NOW…."

Papa was right Vivek did exactly as he said…. He married her and when Maya was born walked out since papa did not accept him and his daughter…. In fact he threaten to kill Anjali if he did not get what he wanted and Papa made Anjali see him for what he really was but ashamed and hurt Di never came back due to her pride instead she struggled to be a single mom but papa watch out for her secretly and got her a job with a suppliers firm and made sure she had enough for Maya and herself….. But papa would never admit it to anyone…

Atul came into her life and change everything and he was what father would have wanted!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good to see you Ms Gupta!" She cringing as Marcus took hold of her hand and kissed it. Marcus was know as a playboy and he had his eyes set on her this evening… Ms Riddhima Gupta was the talk of the high society never to be seen at a party and when ever she did appear she blow everyone away with her beauty and appeal…

"Marcus…How are you?" She asking hating making small talk and if Nana was not a dear friend to the family she would never have been here…as she heard him boast about some company he now owned …..

"Please excuse me I've just seen Leena…"

"Ok look here she comes…." Riddhima looked over at her as smiled warmly.

"Lovely don't say such things!" Riddhima smiled seeing Nana looking at Leena …..know to everyone as Lovely…..

"Here she is Ms business woman of the year 2008…" Riddhima smiled looking at them

"Now… it's not confirmed yet… unless you know something I don't" Leaning forward she greeted him with a warm hug as he chuckled.

"Hmm may be I do!" he winked as Lovely poked him in the ribs…

"Remember why we are throwing this party??" Nana looked at Lovely and smiled.

"Riddhima ….we been thinking its high time for you to get married and look around and find someone!!" Lovely said grinning looking at the guest in the room… Riddhima closed her eyes and composed herself… Lovely as much as she loved them both but the constantly interfered and want her to be dating and according to Lovely her clock we ticking and there was no sound of pitter patter of children's feet… and her eggs would just expire and allsorts… just face it Lovely want her reproducing and manufacturing babies and that to quick…

"Now I knew I could count on my wife's tactfulness …." Lovely looked at him chuckling and narrowed her eyes at him

"Well Shanshank Bhai not capable to fix her up and we have to do something or she become a lesbian or some poor women with a bunch of cats I read in the magazine…" Nana chuckled whole hearty as Riddhima blushed bright red in embarrassment.

"Chachi? I mean?" Riddhima looked at her taking her arm closing her eyes she knew Lovely would have scoped out the single successful men in the room and would give her every information down to the size of there inside leg measurements….

Curling her fingers around the cigar she held it…for comfort… "No I am not stress and will not place you in my mouth no matter how much I am dieing to right now… I will be smoke free…" she placed the cigar Nana shoved in her hand on the steel balcony…and took in the star covered night sky and looked down and Manhattan in the night life as a complete transformed into another city at night…

"Ahemm!" turning around she saw a puff of smoke and a figure appear from the shadows… He looked at her in her black long figure hugging dress and she was transformed into the most beautiful creature he has seen …especial from the thin girl from high school who never went anywhere with out her glasses…who was shy and timid since she walked into his English literature class and changed everything…

"Hi Riddhima!" she looked at him dressed in his white tuxedo coming towards her throwing the lit cigarette on the floor and gentle placing his foot on it…

"Mr Malik … I am not surprised you always do find a quite corner to entertain you're self…" she looked at him coming forward into the light as she smirked looking away..

"Trying to quit but some habits are hard to…"

"I guess you would now all about that Mr Malik…" She looked at him picking up the cigar from the balcony

"Ahem I guess I am not the only one who is…"

"I have not lit it but please feel free to have the cigar …You always love a freebie…" he looked at her turning around took hold of her arm and hoisted her back to face him.

"You can never stand still for a minute can you?… Always running away… what is the matter does my presence disturb you?…." he whispered inhaling her fragrance and smiled looking down at her.

"If you could kindly let me go… Mr Malik!" she said raising her voice

"Please!" he added looking at her with her temper now evidence on her face…

"Please…" she repeated feeling his hands release her as her body scream for him to torture her some more…Why was he here? and why was her body not listening to her?

"Armaan!" She turned to see a talk brown hair woman come forward as she moved away from him near the shadow as he looked at her move away..

"If you are smoking again! I will kill you this time I swear…. Now look I don't know how you talked me into coming here? …. Disha is on her own and I am worried about leaving the baby with him… This party is boring and Nana tells me one more time I have all the curves in the right places again….I am going to pop… and Shit my hormones are all over the place and I'm bloody leaking milk everywhere…" Riddhima watched him turn to look at her as he was dragged out of the room

"He is married Riddhima…moved on! And has a child!" feeling her eyes fill up she looked at the moon…..what the hell was I think and why?

Tujhe Har Khushi De Di
Labon Ki Hansi De Di
Zulfon Ki Ghata Lehraayee
Paigaam Wafa Ke Laayee
Tune Acchhi Preet Nibhayee
Kisi Se Ab Kya Kehna
Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee
Kisi Se Ab Kya Kehna
Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee
Kisi Se Ab Kya Kehna
Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee

"Ritu?" Armaan whispered looking over at Chriag asleep with 4month Disha in her dipper snuggled on her father's neck sleep… He looked over at Ritu with tears running down her face unable to move..

"There so cute!" She whispered moving forward to get the blanket

"Armaan sorry I mean I was …" He looked at his cousin looking tearful and chuckled.

"Ritu seriously this was the first time you where out of the house and you wanted to teach Chriag a lesson and I think you paid the price more then him.." he chuckled looking at her wiping her cheek grinning.

"He's driving me up the wall… and …"

"Shhh Ritu you wake them up and believe me he loves you loads… Good night!" he added moving to the door….

He look around his empty apartment and sighed placing his hand close to his face he could smell her fragrance… Dior and smiled remembering gifting it for her as a thank you for helping with his studies and it looked like she stuck with his choice…During High school he spent so blissfully with his midsummer dream Helena ….

~~Flash Back~~

"Ok pipe down! Well I hope you all read chapter one and two of A Midsummer's night dream?…." Mrs Warwick looked over at them groaning as she saw many of her students sulk into there chairs….

"Must I remind you this will be part of the curriculum and you will be graded for this…. it seem we don't have any romantic in this class…. Since we all getting funky with it…" Mrs Warwick looked over at them chuckling…

"Excuse me?" Riddhima said walking into the room nervously looking at the young blonde teacher looking at her…

"Is this English Literature?….my card miss!" Mr Warwick looked at her and smiled warmly looking at the card

"Ok …hmm Ridhima…Welcome to English Lit and if you can take a seat we get started…" Riddhima nodded looking over at the spare seats in the centre of the room and sat down…

"Aghhhh Mr Malik… nice of you to grace us today.. I am so humble you have made an appearance… If you could be so kind enough and take a seat…" Everyone chuckled seeing Armaan blush in embarrassment …

"Sorry miss …" he mumbled moving to his chair and frowned…

"Hi ughh this is my chair…" she said looking at the skinny girl with a light glasses frame move them up her nose nervously…to look at him..

"Mr Malik.. please take a seat…child now hurry up and I don't take reservation until after class for detention ….if you could kindly take the seat next to Ms Gupta we would all be honoured.." Hearing everyone chuckled he mumbled getting into the seat next to her…

"Ok since no one done any homework…. I am going to adopt a different method can we move our chairs into circle so we facing each other…. Please!" Mrs Warwick smile to see the circle formed y her students

"Ok we going to read this play together …" Hearing the moans she smiled…

"Ok lets see Aagh Mr Malik…the captain and hunk of the school can play Demetrius …" Armaan looked at her stunned swallowing the gum in his mouth..

"Miss I want the female lead!" Mrs Warwick turned smiling at the girls shouting in the room….

"The new aaghhh Ridhima… will be Helena!" Seeing the shock look on her face she smiled turning to give the other members in the class their roles…

"OK Now Hermia father Egeus what her to marry Demetrius or she will face death by not accepting her fathers wishes …but she loves another lysander…." Hearing everyone gasp…Mrs Warwick giggled…

"Omg Candice you cheating on Armaan!" everyone chuckled as Armaan sunk into his seat…seeing Candice wink at everyone grinning! Making them all laugh again…

"Ok settle down…. See if you read the first chapter you would all now this…see this is a great love story…. *Bell* …Right before you leave I want the lines rehearse and we will be reading to everyone in the class…. Mr Malik please stay behind…" Armaan nodded watching the class disappear.

"Armaan take a seat…. I was briefed about you're mother not being will…" She looked at him nodding his head.

"She having chemo but this time I hope they get it of it! This time!" he said in a lower voice feeling Mrs Warwick arm around him.

"Ok Arman I know this is a difficult time for you but you're grades are slipping and I have been asked to help you with you're studies and everything else… so I don't want you to be afraid to come to me for anything…Ok!" She looked at him nodding his head poor guy lost his father 5 years ago in a car accident and his mother had a relapse as her cancer returned …he was working part-time and studying..

"I went to see you're mother this morning she worried about you're studies and want you to get into a good university and we want to make her proud right…." She smiled seeing him nod his head..

"Ok now since you have a lot of lines in this play…I want you to work with the new girl Riddhima…. We were all new once and she could do with a friend…I can count on you right!" she looked at not pleased but grunted. As he did not want a distraction of some new girl…hanging about!

"So Ms Gupta what do you think?" As the light lit the boardroom she smiled looking over at him

"Mr Rana I am impressed …. The campaign is impressive…" Riddhima looked at the panel members in the room as they nodded.

"Chriag good show old boy!" Nana said looking over at him smiling.

"We have a good chief designer… would you be making you're decision soon.." Chriag said nervously as everyone's future dependent on the contract wishing Armaan was present he smiled.

"We will let you know …I would like to change the colour scheme slightly but the logo is nice…" Riddhima said standing up to shake his hand.

"Thank you…. I hope to hear from you soon!" Chriag said gathering his stuff.

"Chriag how is little Disha!" Riddhima looked over at Nana and blink the name was familiar and frown not knowing why…

"Finally sleeping thanks to her godfather… cant believe he strapped her to the car seat and drove around Manhattan.. I have a feeling it a ploy to get the ladies attention…A baby is a babe magnet…." Chriag said chuckling to himself watching Riddhima leave the room.

"Where is Armaan?" Nana asked

"His attending some wedding in LA and is the best man for his friend from Uni … You know he only has Ritu since Amma passed away…and Ritu is close to him… fun have Salla Saab around."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on Bi!" Riddhima said looking at her in the magazine shop picking up all the bollywood magazine..

"OMG Salman been fighting with SRK…. I can't believe there mothers not said anything?" Riddhima looked at her confused

"Bi there not related?" Riddhima said paying at the counter.

"What do you know? I mean Aamir, Salman and SRK ….KHAN are brothers why would they say King khans… its all in the family and everyone related.." Riddhima giggled looking at her explain her thoughts and took hold of her arm and led her to the airport gate to board the flight…

"Ok Beta the phone is switch off right …I don't want the plane crashing…" Riddhima looked at her and sighed.

"Here you keep the iphone …I be working on the laptop on the flight…" Bi rolled her eyes at her and sighed.

"You are boring! No Fun Beta ..we could eye up some hunks…what you say?" Bi said firmly as Riddhima giggled as they were led to their seats shaking her head..

"Look you getting me going to Di wedding you never mention we on a stud find? BTW I think the grey haired old foxy is giving you the eye" Bi looked at her giggling as she winked at the old man making him blush…

"Thank you beta for coming with me!" Bi smiled looking at her getting her laptop set up in their seats…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You may now kiss the bride!" Announced the civil representative… Everyone watched Anjlai and Atul kiss and then the cheers broke out in the small garden.. It was a very small affair only a few close friends from work and some from uni….they smiled coming down the aisle greeting everyone as Atul held her hand..

Riddhima smiled looking over at Anjali it had been 8 years since they last saw each other and greeted her nervously…

"Omg you came!" Anjali smiled as teary taking hold of her..

"Wow Ridz you're all grown up and look amazing!" Anjali said pulling back from her embrace and looking at her…

"Thanks Di…. Oh Atul? This is Riddhima my sister!" Riddhima put her hand forward and looked at him smiling back…to find herself crushed by him as he hugged her and kissed her cheek looking at her blushing..

"Nice to meet you Anjali never stops talking about you and.."

"ATUL!" everyone turned to hear a cry from the kitchen…

"Excuse me!!" Leaning forward he kissed Anjali and walked towards the screams….

Feeling a tug on her hand she look down to see a small child look up at her in her metal frame glasses and long thick curly head dressed in a pink dress smiling…

"Massi I am Maya!" Riddhima looked over at Anjali and then back down at the small child taking hold of her hand.

"She just like you Ridz… same mannerisms and she follows you on the TV channels …. She is totally besotted by you…" Riddhima looked over at her as Maya marched into the kitchen with her hand on her hips hearing the noise from the kitchen, which everyone could hear…

"Aww and thank you for having her for the next 2 weeks while Atul and I go to Hawaii for our Honeymoon…"

"No Problem beta!" Riddhima turned to see Bi grinning as she narrowed her eyes at her… as Bi looked at her nervously smiling knowing Ridz has no idea about the whole arrangement…

"ATUL!" Hearing a roar…they all looked over at Armaan getting out of the kitchen covered in beer… while Maya handed him a towel giggling…

Anjali and Bi looked over at Riddhima nervously as she watched him cursing under his breath as Atul looked over at him apologising…as he shook off his shirt soaking wet to his skin… while everyone looked at him turning red

"Man you two are funny and Uncle Armaan you like Johnny bravo… and papa is a square pants bob…" Maya giggled looking over at Armaan shaking his head as Atul chuckled…

"Mom they so funny ….Papa told uncle to pick the metal beer peg up and he never saw papa open the value and he was all covered in bear lifting it up…. They are pair of clowns!" Atul muffled her mouth and looked over at Armaan glaring at him as Anjlai walked over giggling.

"Armaan why don't you go upstairs ….and freshen up!" he nodded his head going up the stairs…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How are you Bi?" Armaan bent down and touched her feet as she looked at him smiling.

"Long time Beta…I have so missed you! You gotten taller?" she embraced him as he smiled dressed in a white shirt and jeans…

"Me too I so missed those Aloo prathas…" he chuckled as she took hold of his ear as she looked at him

"Badmash… you not missed me?" he giggled letting his ear go.

"Yeah I have Bi……So you heard? Akshay kumar is going to be a superstar!"

"Yeah I see him and he reminds me of you… jumping about!" she giggled looking at his hurt face…as he chuckled.

"Have you talked to her?" she looked at him seeing Riddhima talking to Anjali's friends.

"No! She hates me remember.." he said looking at her

"She needs to know the truth Armaan ….Shanshank was right about Vivek but totally wrong about you…. yet I could never understand why you did not fight for her…As you loved her…"

"I know what is like to live without a parent Bi…I did not want her to loose her father because of me… What I did was for the best!… I can live with her hating me at least she feels something for me…I could not see her hating her father whom she loved so much…." Bi looked at him walking away….

~~~~Part Three~~~

"Massi you see that guy!" Riddhima looked down at the six year as she pointed at Atul standing with some guys near the table of food holding some beer cans.

Kneeling down she looked at Maya staring at her.

"Which guy Maya?"

"Aarree Yaar!" she looked at Maya slapping her forehead and taking her hand and leading her to the Patio doors.

"See him in the white shirt the one who spilled beer on himself…My Superman!" Riddhima looked at Armaan and smiled looking at her giggling…with her hand on her mouth.

"Oh him!" Riddhima said looking at him as he totally blanked her all afternoon as she observed him…Not once had he come near her and…he was married and off limits what am I think?

"See Mom told me he saved us from being homeless and took us into his house while he went to New York to study…and when I was 2 year old….see this mark…" Maya pushed back her hair under her left ear to show her a big scar…

"I fell he came all the way from New York and paid the medical bills and gave me blood…. Me and Mom call him Superman…. Ok but promise and don't tell anyone this!" Maya looked around and waved her hands to come closer to her… Riddhima moved closer and smiled.

"When I get big …I am going to marry him!" Riddhima looked at her looking at her for a reaction as she smiled at her.

"Maya he is already married and has a baby…." Riddhima said hearing him chuckling with the guys.

"Aarreee Yaar….. you mean Disha…. She is Ritu Bua and Chirag uncle's baby! My MAN is not married….he is single!" Maya said looking her angrily

"Oh Ritu Bua!" feeling a smile form on her lips she bent down and picked Maya up in her arms. With a sense of relief unknown to her why she was feeling slightly happy to what the 6year old had just said …as she was a mere child…But remember Armaan often talk about his cousin living in New York…Ritu.

"So like have you told him?" Riddhima asked looking at Maya staring at Armaan.

"No! He does not know…."

"I think you should ask him see what he says!" Riddhima said looking at her as she nodded her head.

"Oh Ok I'll ask him!" Maya wriggled in Riddhima's arms as she placed her gentle on the lawn…

Riddhima looked over at her smoothing down her dress and pushing her hair back and giggled as she became the attention to everyone in the group as Bi looked at her strangle while she approached Riddhima with a slight naughty look on her face….

"Bi watch this!" Riddhima said looking over at Maya looking up at Armaan.

Hearing a roar of laughter in the group Armaan bent down and picked Maya up …turning bright red as she leaned forwards and kissed his cheek…. Everyone loved Armaan and it was hard not too…. He was just built that way helping everyone no matter what and you could not help but falling in love with him.

"Now Maya I will be an old man with a walking stick when you grow up…." He said taking hold of her and moving away from everyone.

"So? I look after you and love you always!" she said determine to get an answer.

"hmmm what if you find a new younger guy?" he said smiling as he walked over to Anjali.

"Ok see I was going to marry Joey… but he was mean to me in school and made me cry… Mom thinks he really nice and look he's here today with Seema, Anne and Thomas….See him in the blue t-shirt…." Armaan saw the children playing near the sandpit and smiled halting at the patio door with Riddhima and Bi standing behind him unnoticed to him.

"I think you should give Joey a chance….especially since he is you're first love …ok he is a little mean to you?… but since you wanted to marry him first why settle for second best… what say?" Armaan said looking at her in her arms staring at Joey.

"Yeah he is very cute and like you has nice eyes… So you not heart broken if I go?" She giggled as he kissed her forehead.

"No honey… Why don't you take to cake for everyone and that will do the trick…!" Armaan said winking at her.

"OK you sure!" Maya asked looking unsure as he nodded at her.

"Ok but I still love you …. See Massi he's great what say!" Armaan turned to see Riddhima and Bi …as they both nodded to see him slowly put her down..

"Waah beta!" Bi said looking at him as he looked slightly nervous turning red when suddenly they both started giggling….he looked over at her laughing and chuckled he …it was like he had never seen her laugh before…and stepped back.

"Excuse me Bi!" Bi looked at him as them and walked back to the crowd near the tables.

"You can't help but to love that boy…he get embarrassed so quickly and no matter what he never takes it seriously….I remember when you used to play pranks on him but he never said anything to you while you laugh your head off at him turning red!…there is not a mean streak in that boy…." Bi stopped to look over at Riddhima as she looked so ridged and back to her non-emotional self.

"That was along time ago Bi I was just a teenager and nothing more…" Bi looked at her turn and walk away….

"Well Bi looks like you are going to need Maya's help to sort these two out!" Bi smiled looking over at Anjali.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I cannot accept this Riddhima!" Anjali looked down at the document in her hand as she looked over at Atul shocked.

"We it's not from me but Papa….I talked to him ….he agreed you give you the house in LA…to start a new life…" Riddhima said looking at her and Atul.

"Seriously we can not take this….we where think of buying Armaans place!" Riddhima looked over at him sliding open the patio doors carrying the leftover food into the Kitchen.

"This is free…and all you're…. all the deeds have been changed to Anjali and Atul Joshi ….and Mr Malik place is a little small especially when you want to have a family…and it ready for you both all the arrangements made…" Anjali looked over at Armaan as he smiled at her nodding… Making Riddhima slightly frown see him giving his approval?

"Atul she will not back down…." Anjali said looking at her.

"Anjali the decision is you're darling I live anywhere with you and Maya…" Atul said leaning forward to kiss her forehead.

"Great!" Riddhima said looking over at Bi…

"Thanks Riddhima for everything I mean…" Seeing Anjali now tearful Riddhima cleared her throat and smile

"You don't have to thank me Di you would have done the same for me…" Riddhima said looking at Bi.

"Honey we got to get going….Armaan said he lock up the place…and give the keys to Mac…."

"Ok Atul lets just help him clear everything up the flights not in the next four hours…."

"Anjali beta why don't you get everything together …Riddhima and I will help Armaan clear up…" Bi looked over at Riddhima as she nodded.

As she walked into the kitchen they saw Maya on the stool rinsing the dishes he was handing over to her as they both bopped to the music playing…

Na na na na
Na na na na yeah
You are the music in me
When you dream there's a chance you'll find
A little laughter
or happy ever after
yeah harmony to the melody
It's echoing inside my head
A single voice (Single voice)
Above the noise
And like a common thread
Hmm, you're pulling me
When I hear my favourite song
I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Yeah it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
Na na na na (Ohh)
Na na na na na
Yeah yeah yeah
(Na na na na)
You are the music in me

"I love Sharpay….she so cool and she in zac and cody ..." Maya said looking at him.

"Hmm I like Gabrielle she reminds me of someone…" Armaan said looking at her in her mini apron with the word…I AM THE BOSS!…next to him…and chuckled.

"Yeah mom says the you are Troy and Massi was Gaby in when we watch it!" Armaan looked over at her slightly surprised to see Riddhima in the room.

"No Maya I was never Gaby…" Armaan looked at Riddhima as he dried his hands.

"Superman we done?!" Maya asked looking at him as he looked distracted and frowned.

"Yeah Maya I just pack up outside…" Riddhima looked at him walking away and looked over at Maya as she frown looking at him

"Boys!" Maya said taking off her apron…

"MAYA!" Hearing Anjali's cry she jumped off the stool…

"Coming Mom!" Riddhima looked over at her handing her Apron and ran off..

"Now this stuff not going to get completed Beta with you standing there?…" Bi said walking over to the counter…

Riddhima walked outside to see him stacking the chairs and moved closer to him…and picked up a chair…

"Thank you for what you have done for di!" he looked at her and nodded moving to get another chair …She looked at him grabbing the chair and moving towards her…

"So you leaving today as well?" he looked at her whisper looking down not meeting his gaze….

"No I'm meeting Mrs Warwick tomorrow…I head she not keeping well and you know how much she done for me…so I'm going to see her…." Riddhima looked at him and nodded.

"Amma past away tomorrow…It will have been 8 years…." he nodded feeling the lump in his throat and moved to get the remaining chair…to feel her hand take hold of his wrist….as he turned to look at her moving closer.

"Armaan? I uh…"

"Riddhima beta!" They turned to see Bi holding her iPhone as Armaan released her hand.

"You better get that it maybe important…." He turned to get the remaining chair as she walked back to Bi… 'great timing? And what are you doing? You meant to be angry with him? Jeez Ridz …. Ok he been avoiding you all day I mean have some self respect…'

"Hello Nana!…… hmmm email me the details… No I'm not staying at the beach house we in the hotel …. Tomorrow?" She looked over at him as he closed the patio doors and walked past her…

"No we'll be staying for a day or so I have some matters which need my attention…" she added ending the call looking over at Bi raising her eyebrows

"What? I thought we were going back in the morning?" Bi looked at her curiously.

"No change of plan we leave the day after plus we have Maya as well…" Riddhima said looking away…as Bi smiled….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I Miss you Amma…." He placed the flowers near the stone wall as a lone tear ran down his cheek. He was glad Riddhima talked him into getting a name plate in the old church where she was cremated….He was a simple plate 'Love you hamesha….Amma Mrs Krishna Malik 1954 – 2000'

"OK now I know Dad up their with you and there some day I wish I was there too….last couple of days I am find it very hard….and some day…" Choking on his words he felt a hand take hold of his and looked to see Maya looking at him as the tears ran down his face…

"Is this where you're mom went?" she asked looking at him and turning to see Riddhima next to her gentle place the white lily near his single rose in the vase.

"No Maya …Amma still here with us and lives in our hearts…" Riddhima said looking at him as he looked at her tearfully wiping his eyes..

"Oh OK! I am sorry she went away…but superman you have to be strong she will not be happy to see you unhappy!" Maya said looking at him.

He stared at her as they sat in the same booth they always sat in the ice cream parlour…as she sat in the seat opposites while Maya say next to him on the red leather seats…

"So what can I get you kids? Armaan? Riddhima?" they turned to see Molly smiling at them

"Hey Joe! Look your Basketball Star is here with his sweetheart!" Armaan looked over at Riddhima as she blushed at the old woman's words as she went to the counter…

"Oh gosh…. my lucky number 7…. Armaan!" Armaan stood up as the old gentleman came over holding out his hand out smiling.

"Now what did I tell you young lady dump this boy why you and I could elope…You're looking as beautiful as ever….Hey champ you're a lucky boy I always said…" He added looking at them smiling..

"Things never worked out like we dreamt Uncle Ted…" Riddhima added looking at Armaan as he smiled weakly…

"Now I see we have a new member here….Now pumpkin why don't you tell you're old Uncle Ted what kind of ice-cream you want…." Maya looked over at Riddhima as she nodded her head and smiled.

"Wow Uncle Ted what you got?" Maya asked holding his hand…

"Hey 7 I get Molly to get you're usual!…." he said taking Maya over the counter…

"Feels like we come back in time….I still remember working in here with the old boy…" Armaan said looking at the place fondly.

"Hmm he did say you where lucky for him….but we both know this place was busy because of the girls coming to see you…." She said looking at him.

"Yeah and you came for all the ice cream you could get on the house…" he chuckled looking at her.

"No I told you before….I came to make sure Candice never made eyes at you… As she so wanted ….." She stopped looking at him and looked away.

"Yeah I remember…" he mumbled looking at her as she stood up.

"I need to…" He got up and nodded as she walked to the bathroom.

"Wow this ice-cream is good…. Why aren't you eating?" Maya said looking over at the large ice-cream in the glass plate with AR in a heart shape with two spoons not touched… Feeling her eyes filling up she looked at the bowl.

"I am on a diet!" Riddhima said looking way.

"Hmm she say that all the time Maya….. she trying to say is Armaan you touch the chocolate shape heart …you're dead…" Riddhima turned to look at him narrowing her eyes.

"Hands off Armaan you know you never will get to taste it…" Armaan picked up the spoon raising his eyebrow at her to find her …beating him to the centre of the bowl…fishing out the chocolate….

"See you can never…." Armaan leaned forward and ate it from her spoon as she looked at him stunned.

"Thank you.." he said munching…as he grinned looking at her as Maya giggled giving him a hi-five.

"Massi lost!" she said looking at him …. Riddhima looked at them both grinning narrowing her eyes at him…

"Now honey if ….i remember there another heart in there Ted would never make them without two ….it's just you never knew since I sulked and you ate the first one as you gloated…" Riddhima looked at him chuckling…

"You mean…"

"Yep I loved seeing you win…as you had this cute sparkle in you're eyes…and looked so cute with ice cream on you're lips grinning… and after we would…Ice cream never tasted so good….." he raised his eyebrows a couple of times looking at her and winked to see her looking at her stunned.

"You're naughty Superman…" Maya say looking at him chuckling.

"Yeah I guess I was…" he chuckled looking at her sulking before him….

"Look I found it…Here you go since we had one each.." he said moving the spoon forward.

"Go on Massi it only fair…" Maya said looking at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Bi what you saying?" Riddhima looked at her sobbing quietly

"We just got back and…"

"Beta see I have to go….Aziz is not well he is my younger brother you know I visit him every year in Canada…He all I have close to family besides you…." Bi said packing her bag…as she sobbed

"Oh do you want me to come with you and…"

"No Beta you have work and then there is Maya as well…" Bi said closing her bag.

"Bi I cant look after her by myself and…"

"She's not a baby and she not hard to manage and you have Armaan here in New York…" Bi paused looking at her sulking

"For emergency…you seen her on the phone to him this past two days…" Bi said walking towards her.

"You still love him? I see it on you're face when he around …and you're eyes.."

"I don't love him Bi!" she said frowning.

"I cant stand him….he act like everyone's friends when the truth is he using Maya to get the contract…." Riddhima said looking at her

Bi studied her face… If he wanted money then my child he would have used you along time ago…why don't you…

"Hmmm maybe he is but I don't think he is the type …and we both know he not the money grabbing kind …. Not the kind you think…he worked very hard to get to where he is and has never used anyone to get to where he is…." Riddhima looked over at Bi stunned as she walked to the bathroom angrily…she meant to be on myside?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok so you remember that story I told you Maya…" Bi whispered looking at her in bed.

"Yeah… it the same as the SRK film we watch yesterday…….you want me to play that small Anjali and get Superman his girlfriend…" Maya said looking at her.

"Yeah my good girl…So I can trust you right!" Bi said looking at her with a finger on her cheeking looking at Bi carefully…

"Ok Operation Kuch kuch hota hai…starts from tomorrow…" Maya said looking at her putting her hand forward…. Bi smiled taking her hand and smiled. Now Riddhima we will make sure you accept Armaan no matter what!!

Putting there thumbs up they looked over at Riddhima opening the room as they quickly looked at each other..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Bi did you get there safely and…."

"Now Beta someone needs a chill pill…." Riddhima sighed as Maya even got Bi saying it shaking her head she looked over at Maya frowning at her..

"Ok Beta everything there ok?" Yeah sure this girl is driving me up the wall since you left?

"Yeah Bi me and Maya are have a fab time…" Seriously BI come back home

"NO WE NOT!" Maya shouted as Bi heard her on the phone and smiled…

"Bi she lying and she does not want me here…. Every time I talk to her she on the phone and …" Riddhima sighed heavily on the phone.

"Beta…She a child so to looking after her you have to behave like one…at least don't work until I come back in a fortnight…Ok beta love you bye…"

"Bi!" Riddhima sighed as she looked over at Maya angrily….

"Huh huh you don't want me ….i want mom and ….." Riddhima looked over at her crying loudly….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well Missy I guess it just you and me…now!" Armaan said looking at her dressed in pink and smiled as she smiled her dimple smile back at him.

*Knock Knock*

He looked at the time and shock his head and chuckled getting the door.

"Ritu ….Go and enjoy you're self me the the Brat will be fine…You go before Chirag goes age he planed this weekend break for the past 2 week…" Opening the door he was stunned to see Maya run and grab his leg crying and looked at Riddhima when….. "Waaaaaaaaaa…..Waaaaaa…" Riddhima looked at him helplessly as he looked at what was happening around him…

"Hey Maya help me with Disha!!" he said running back while Riddhima stood at the doorway….

She looked around the apartment it was very well decorated and she knew as a designer he always had good taste…as she walked into the living room to see a fire place and beeches wooden floor and the windows just made the room spacious and light…On the mantle piece was a photo as she moved forward it was of them …when he won the state championship and he held her in one arm and the trophy in another…

"Sorry!" breaking out of her trance she looked over at him holding the baby in his arms… he looked tired and had a heavy stubble like he not shaved for couple of days as he moved closer to where she stood.

"Disha teething and ….Chriag planed a long weekend with Ritu…So I have this angel for a few days… what wrong you looked worried?" he asked looking over at Maya and back at her.

"She insisted we come over …I was…I am sorry we got you at a bad time…We should leave …Maya!" Riddhima looked over at Maya

"NO I AM STAY HERE WITH HIM!" Maya shouted as Armaan looked over at Riddhima looking very tired.

"Hmm someone being naughty Disha and you know what that means…No ice cream and no cookies…" Armaan said looking at Disha.

"Come one Disha we going to get some milk and cookies…" Armaan said walking to the kitchen with Maya hot on his heels….as Riddhima followed draggin her feet…

"She cant eat cookies ….so I get her share!" Maya said sitting on the counter as Armaan placed Disha on the bouncer on the counter ….and smiled see Maya munching the cookies…

"Well see only if you a good girl!" He said placing the cup of coffee near Riddhima as she sat on the stool next to Maya… the kitchen was very tidy and it looked as if Armaan had everything ready for Disha…which surprised her as he was always so untidy and never this clean…as she looked at him testing the baby formula on his wrist…and smiled looking at her.

"She harmless really you just need to know how to play her…" Armaan whispered topping up Maya milk..

"Looks like someone hungry…" Riddhima looked at him as he spoke so gentle to Disha as she waved her hands in the air at him bouncing like she knew what he was saying…

"5 mins honey it hot…" he said smiling back at her.

"Why have you not shaved?" Maya asked looking at him while Riddhima looked apologising at him

"Hmm I been working not had a chance…" he said while Disha grabbed his finger tightly…

"When papa never shaved Mom does not let him near her she says it hurts her face ….but I don't know why?" Maya looked at him as he chuckled.

"I think only mom can answered that question…" he said shaking the milk bottle…

"So why did you dump Massi…was she not pretty or you get a new girlfriend?!" Riddhima choked on her coffee and looked at him shocked by Mayas outburst as she looked over at them

Armaan looked down at Disha crying out making noise raspberry sound with her mouth… Picking up the bottle he took hold of Disha as he left the room…

"Maya?" Riddhima called out as Maya followed him out the kitchen… oh boy this is going to be one of those afternoon….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ritu she nice….asleep afternoon nap I know… ok if she has a temperature I give her the Calpol…ok… stop worrying ….and stop crying or Chriag will get anger… Ok I love you tooo….Bye…" he placed the phone down and looked over at Riddhima as she looked tied and confused by Maya's behaviour…

"So Maya how would you like to go to central park when Disha gets up?" he said looking at her yawning…

"Yeah but I am feeling tied…" they both looked at her as she jumped into Riddhima lap and snuggled up to her as Riddhima looked over at Armaan not know what to do? Moving over towards her on the large black leather sofa he sat down near her…

"She go to sleep in a while and we can put her in the bedroom…" he whispered as Riddhima nodded…

Closing the slid door Riddhima looked over at him as he was not there ….hearing the sound of dishes she walked into the kitchen to find him humming as he placed the sandwich on a plate..

"You must be hungry ….i sure am!" she picked up the sandwich as he poured her some juice…

"So when did you start cleaning up and kids…you always hated them?"

"Hmm I see where Maya gets it from!" he chuckled looked at her blush slightly…

"hmmm I guess everything changes eventually and kids…I teach an art program to kids….Mr Warwick got me into it…for kids during the summer in Brooklyn …."

"Wow you got a high paid job and teaching as well…"

"No the summer class are voluntary ….You know I don't care for money …as one day its there and another its gone…" She said looking at him firmly

"But the future Armaan…. I mean you never know what it may bring as she never lays her card out until it too late…" She added picking up the glass.

"The past helps us to learn from our mistake …and the future is always unclear…..But today is precious gift as why would we call it the present!…" Riddhima looked at him stunned as he smiled.

"How is you're father?" he asked looking at her staring at him

"He is getting better …it takes time" she answered

"And how are you?" he asked moving closer to her…

"I'm uh…" Feeling him entering her space she looked at him as her heat raced..

"I am…." Feeling his breath on her face she looked down at his lips…as he moved closer…. Feeling his lips on her she kissed him so hard pulling him closer towards her as her body just wanted more…. Feeling her and tasting her he just could not stop feeling her lips igniting his hidden passion….Feeling her hand franticly unbuttoning his shirt he felt her finger pulling out his vest…Wanting to touch him so desperately as she kissed him hungrily… feeling him lift her onto the counter…feeling his hand moving up her thigh under her dress…….

"Waaaaaaaaa…." Feeling him pull back she opened her eyes to see him

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~Part four~~

"Wilbur didn't want food, he wanted love." Riddhima looked over at Maya fast asleep and gentle picked up the blanket to cover her as she placed Charlotte's Web on the bedside table… as she looked at her and back at the book… Remembering her own lonely childhood as she could relate to Wilbur been abandoned in the barn with no friends….and then Charlotte enter his life… Getting up she remembered the morning affair with Maya refusing to do as she was told and then this afternoon as she had lost herself so easierly to her deepest desire…Something she had sometimes regretted looking back on… What if she was as bold as Anjali and just had sex? Would it have been so bad? He would never have hurt her and was nothing like Vivek… for the past 8 years it was all she could thing about…Alone was the best time to ponder on events if played again would have been so different…and when he said… Today is a Gift as why would be called the present…hit her in so many way… He layback attitude and being spontaneous was that what drawing her to him as she was reserved and cautious like her father…. Anjali was the one who spoken directed about her feeling yet she could not master that at all… How she spent most of her college days locked up studying just to forget him but how could she as he was her first ever love …. Unconsciously she was compare everyone suitor to him and no one came an inch close…. The reason he dumped her was to see other people so was he seeing other people?

"Hi Superman!" Armaan smiled sitting near the bath….looking at Disha in her bath chair splashing around…with his ear balancing the phone on his shoulder…

"Now it's 7:30pm why aren't you in bed?" he asked as he smiled…

"Because you promised you would take me to central park and….i was reminding you …so you coming at 8am right?" he raised he eyebrows and shook his head.

"No I will come in the afternoon….I have a few errands in the morning me and Disha hitting Walmarts…" he chuckled looking at her waving her hands in the water …. As he hit the speaker button and placed it on the floor…

"You should dump her I don't like her?" she said pouting her lip at him to hear Disha scream in joy…

"Awww she sweet can never dump her…hey baby…" he smiled looking at her placing Nemo in her mouth eating him up covered in bubbles

"She crying and disturbing everyone…" she said looking at the door to see if Riddhima would come in and find her awake…

"Ok now you go to bed or I am not coming at all….Come on Disha bath time over… and you'll catch a cold…" he said placing his hands around her.

Riddhima picked up the phone in the living room horrified to hear Maya and Armaan. Man that girl does not miss a trick a right chip of the block like her mother…

"Superman you like babies don't you?" Maya asked …Armaan placed Disha in a towel and smiled.

"Hmmm ….Naughty girl…Mamaji not going to give you're desert…Apple and custard …" he said looking at her kicking him not wanting the nappy as Riddhima and Maya heard her scream and laughing at him.

"So why don't you have a baby with Massi!" Maya said as Riddhima turned bright red holding the phone….this girl was discussing her sex life with her ex?

"Ok Maya time for bed….enough 20/20 ok…I am serious this time! No bed no central park it will be just me and Disha rollerblading while naughty Maya memsahib is home…" he was firm and Riddhima could tell by his voice he was not having it at all.

"OK! I love you!" Maya said

"I love me too…." Riddhima smiled he always said that and grinned cheekily

"SUPERMAN?" Maya shouted as he chuckled

"Good night Memsahib…" hearing the line go dead she smiled placing the receiver…no I leave her…she dose off ….she though smiling to herself entering the bedroom

Omg he coming tomorrow lunch time what am I going to wear central park?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riddhima looked at him a little surprised in as he had strapped Disha to him in a baby holder and she was visible to everyone on his chest strapped in blue and she had on a mini helmet matching his black one..…As she kick her little legs as he grinned scratching his stubble looking at them staring at him as he rolled in on blades…

"So we ready?" he looked at them as Maya grinned uncontrollable as she took hold of his hand wheeling him out almost running as Riddhima grabbed her bag and key still shocked as he strode out the door while she eyes he up from behind…closing her eyes briefly shaking her head…

"So you do this often?" she asked looking at him on her blades while Maya held there hands between them…

"Yeah every morning…but Ritu would be tired as Disha here would make sure she and her father where up all night ….so in the morning I pop around while Ritu mistaking mix the baby formula in my coffee…so angry I sent her to bed and me and my buddy here blade in the park when we can..…." He said smiling.

"So Disha the only girl in you're life?" Riddhima looked away shyly think what had come over her…

"No they're others? But she the one I like spending my time with as she never complaints, never demands and smiles all day long…" he said chuckling as he looked at her smile back.

"Actually Ritu had a rough pregnancy and Chriag and I where scare at one point…so his job is to make sure she fine and my jobs is to make sure they all fine…so I get her when they want to spend time together…" he added looking at her

"I think I got the best end of the deal hey Disha!" he smiled rubbing her belly to hear her scream out joyfully.

"I want ice-cream and a hotdog and roasted nuts and…" Armaan chuckled as he looked down at Maya…

"We have a picnic lets…find a nice spot…" Riddhima looked at him oddly.. as he looked around the park…

As he unstrapped Disha and handed her over to Riddhima he looked over at her holding her waist an arm length away from her…as he chuckled

"She not going to kill you Ridz…" Riddhima looked at him and at the baby drooling at her and closed her eyes bring her closer to her …as she found it quiet comfortable to some reason as he unzipped the baby hold off him and took out a blanket from behind…

She looked at him with the baby bottle as he fed Disha find her fighting him for the bottle as he frowned at her while she giggled back… Maya looked at him and sighed.

"We can leave her here …and you can play with me!" Maya said looking at him as he was focused on Disha…

"Massi he's not listening!" Armaan looked up as she picked up the sandwiches he made..

"I am too it just she has to feed other word her mother will scold me …you don't want that…then come tomorrow evening Disha will be back home…hey Disha! And I will be all lonely" he said at a almost whisper…as Riddhima looked over at him

"Armaan please come over it's not fair I mean…that twice now and I feel really bad…about taking up you're time and all…" Riddhima looked at him at the front door of her house…

"Yeah come inside …" Maya pulled him as he smiled looking at them both.

"Can't believe it there both knocked out!" he said looking at Disha asleep in his arms while Maya feel asleep next to him.

"I'll put her to bed!" Riddhima said picking her up and moving to the bedroom

"Why don't you put her in Maya's room I mean the beds big enough and we can hear them if they cry…." Riddhima said looking at him.

"Yeah we both had a rough night…she teething and if she a sleep now she will not get up for a good couple of hours…" he whispered following her…

As they placed them on the bed he looked at Riddhima taking off her shoes and placing the blanket on her….as he placed the extra pillows around Disha to stop her from falling…she watch him leave the room quickly as she pushed Maya's hair back….he returned with a pink blanket and covered her…

"Is there nothing in that pack of you're she giggled looked at him smiling…"

"Boy scout remember…" he whispered looking at her getting up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"About Yesterday I am sorry it never should have happened" he said nervously as she felt her heat beat stop… but I thought the way you responded and? She smiled weakly accepting his apology as placed the glass of wine to her lips.

"Hmm this is good!" he smiled back waiting for her to say something instead he got a blank look as he placed his chopsticks on the carton…

"Yeah Uncle Bob's Chinese is the best in town…." She mumbled placing the grilled tiger pawn in her mouth…feeling a little ashamed of what happen yesterday looking down.

"So has Anjali called?" she looked at him a little tired of the small talk as he pouted his lips sucking in the noodles and smiling sheepishly at her… man he is driving me crazy?

"Yeah they have a fun time …Maya misses her a lot!" she said looking away not wanting to see him sucking his noodles…

"Maya's a little older now good for her to be a little independent.." he said sucking his noodles again and this time a long piece….

Leaning forwards she moved her chopstick into the noodle carton and smiled…why cant I flirt with him and say something witty and a little sexy I mean? Taking a long sigh she looked at him munching his food away merrily like he did not have a clue what was building up in the room..

"Wow its dark I should be getting back …and Disha going to need her feed in and hour of so…" he said shifting his weight…looking at her as he got up from the table..

"Yeah it is getting late!" she replied under her breath.

"Look why don't you stay until she wakes I mean it been like 2 hours and…" she looked at him packing his stuff.

"I seriously need to show and then it like bath time for her and we reading Charlotte web …" he mumbled as she approached him.

"Hey Maya's read that too….isn't Disha a little young?" she said looking at her…

"Hmm I guess it must be the sound of a gentle voice which drops her of to sleep I found it works…me reading a little to her…" he smiled picking up his jacket and folding it up ….

"Oh I guess I can say the same about Maya…we got to the second page and she out too…" he looked at her giggle and smiled.

"Look shower here and ….relax a little I mean you do look awful tired and…" he raised his eye brow at her.

"Is that you're way of telling me I stink?" he said turning in the corner of his lips slightly…

"You always had a manly smell about you…jock type…" she said cheekily as he studied her

"Jock type…I see will we jock types wash ourselves and keep clean I remember a certain young girl who had a signed Justin Timber lake t-shirt she wore like throughout spring…" he said raising his eyebrows

"Awww Armaan I still love you to taking me to that concert ….OMG it was like and you got it signed as you knew someone back stage…" he looked at her all dream eyes…

"You still love me?" he said to see her look at him in horror as his heart beat stopped.

"Yeah it was the best birthday gift I ever received!" she whispered back at him as he smiled

"Oh I see…you did not like the other gift I gave you…" she looked at him a little puzzled.

"And they say we men are the forgetful ones?" he chuckled picking up Disha's empty bottles of milk and heading to the kitchen… Unsure she followed him.

"Ok you booked the restaurant at the Italian place and gave me flowers chocolate and tickets ….. so…." He raised his eyebrows at her and loved seeing the confusion on her face as she looked adorable but she never remembered everything at all… She looked at him gloating as he rinsed the bottle and walked past her to the living room.

"Bearver! I cant remember and …that not fair as you making it up and…" she looked a him frowning as she looked at his back while he smiled to himself…

"Delta- 35-…"

"19-07- section 23" she completed now smiling….

"The star!" she added grinning looking at him getting up and smiling looking at her…

"The location reference to the star you gave me….wow how could I forget?!" he looked at her and winked….moving slightly closer to her….

"You wore a aqua dress and look amazing in you're hair you had these small sliver clips…" he said moving the loose strain on her face back as she looked up at him towering her in his presence…as she felt him…

"Sliver sandals and you where excited as papa agreed to you have contact lens… Anjali gifted you a new phone and you where constantly quoting Austin powers 'yeah babe at me'…and when Madonna beautiful stranger was on you had this look in you're eyes and…" leaning forward he felt her kiss him and was a little taken back…

"Good night!" he said smiling at her as she blushed thinking of what she done..

"Good night!" she said leaning forward and kissed him on the cheek..

"Ok so tomorrow you coming over here again right…" she asked looking at him.

"We'll see as I'm picking cuddles parents from the airport…" he looked at her expression change..

"I see you around Ridz…" he said turning to push the door open..

"Bye…" see me around?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Superman you not coming?" Maya said looking over at Riddhima signing

"Disha's gone home and I have to work…Look I see you when I get chance…" Maya sulked looking at Ridz…

"ICE-CREAM!" they both scream heading for the kitchen…

"Why don't we hijack him!" Maya said looking at her…

"Now that bratz out of the way he have time for me…" She added stuffing her face… Riddhima looked at her year Di offspring alright….
"No look he must me busy other wise….." Maya looked at her as she smiled.

"ok this is all you're idea…" Riddhima said getting up…

Armaan smiled as he opened the door…he looked at them a little surprised.

"Who is it honey?" Armaan looked over his shoulder as Maya and Riddhima did the same.

"Armaan?" they turned to see him take hold of the young lady.

"Muskhan…Riddhima and this is Maya…"

"Hi Muskhan his girlfriend!"

~~~Part 5~~~

"Riddhima Beta?" hearing the muffed cries on the other end of the phone she closed her eyes.

"Bi please come home I …" feeling her own eyes filed up she nodded.

"Beta I am getting the next flight home…" Sensing that things where not right and the emotional turmoil Riddhima must be going through she curse how thing were going for her child…. When her husband died and she miscarriage and was told she would never have children due to the car accident she did not know how she would have coped if her brother had not suggested she look after children instead… for over a year she looked after other people children and it was like she lived for them…when Mr Gupta approached her to care for his daughters she was reluctant to accept living with a widow and alone in a big house…But he treated her like his own sister and never interfered in the ways she ran the household and his children… But she was emotional attracted to Riddhima it was something about the child….it was as if she was depended on her for everything when she was 5 years old…. She never left her side Bi was the only words on her lips and the truth was Bi could not live without her either… It was as if they needed each other to fill the void in there lives… Bi void of having children and Riddhima void to have a mother…

But the truth was Bi wanted to see her happy and married to Armaan…. The only man she ever loved and ever will…. He believed he was going the right thing and Riddhima believed she was doing the right thing about not accepting him and the misunderstanding grew….. Anjali was just the start of things to come… When Anjali left that was when Shanshanks mental health started and Riddhima verbal and physical abuse begin… Yet the child never spoke against him as Dr Evens had told her everything as her father wished him too…. Now it was Riddhima's time and the boy was complicating things further…..Now was the time Riddhima learnt the truth but was it all to late? Hearing her sobbs on the phone she could work out there had a major row and she just as always walked as confrontation was something she hated to deal with.

"He told me that ……I could not give him want he wanted and he wanted to move from first base …."

"Ok beta…. " Cursing Armaan she shook her head… Silly boy just tell her the truth…Shanshank has ruined my child's life…

"Riddhima… he was very young and nave and I think he trying to explain his actions…"

"Why do you always defend him?" because he loves you so much beta and ….

"I don't defend him beta I am with you I just want you to see his point of view so you are clear about the whole thing…men think differently about things I have lived longer then you and I am see thing from both views…" hearing her deadly silence on the phone she clench the phone..

"Beta do you love him?" again there was silence

"Yeah more then ever now…." Bi smiled

"Then you have to prove to him you where right and win him back completely…"

"But Bi he has a girlfriend and he told me Muskhan is happy about him seeing other girls and she see other men too…"

"Hmmm I guess he not serious about her and she his time pass…Beta if you don't fight for him now then I suggest you keep crying and waste you're whole life on saying 'maybe' ……" again there was silence and bi knew this would work and the truth was Riddhima need to for once in her life fight for what she wanted….

"Ok I be home tomorrow and…"

"No Bi take you're time ….thank you! I love you….come home as we agreed! Bye!" Bi smiled and knew this was a battle she had to face alone to win

"Ok beta …but remember alls fair in love and war….i see you in a couple of days…" placing the receiver down she smiled….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good Morning Ms Gupta!" Rddhima smiled looked at Tracy her personal assistant…If fact Tracy was a good friend from College and they knew each other for 5years now and Riddhima was happy leaving her and Nana in charge of thing if required…..

"Fix my appointment with Signature…. This afternoon ….if fact advised Mr Rana and Mr Malik I will be coming to see them regarding the tender this afternoon at 2pm…" Tracy looked at her and nodded.

"Yes madam! " Riddhima looked over at the short blond headed girl and shook her head…

"Dame it Trac's I will sack you if you don't call me by my name?" Riddhima said looking at her giggling…

"I mean it!"

"OK but you know you never get a replacement like me and….i would never get a young successful boss who is 2 years younger then me?" Tracy smiled handing her morning coffee…

"oh I get it you want to look young in the office….i guess I will call you aunty!" seeing Tracy frown Riddhima smiled…

"Relax ….Ok and thanks for recommending the kids club for Maya she be out of my hair while I work for the next few days and Di can pick her up…" Riddhima looked at her correspondent mail Tracy has opened for her attention…

"Oh yeah Dr Phillips called he want you to see Mr Gupta in hospital this evening and can you call him…"

"Sure I ring him once I check my mail and email…" Riddhima said looking At Tracy taking her place at her desk…

"Can you ask Nana and Mr Davis to see me I want to discuss the tender…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Congratulations Mr Rana ….Signature has secured the tender for Padmini Industries ….I will leave you the contract details and then you can start work immediately …." Riddhima looked over Chirag's surprised face as he looked over at Armaan sitting next to him….

"Thank you Ms Gupta you will not be disappointed!" Chirag said getting up to shake her hand.

"Please read the contract carefully and as I have mentioned in the presentation the colours need changing and I am sure we can work to resolve that…" Riddhima looked over at Armaan looking at her slightly not happy to see her as she held out her hand…

Feeling Chirag's nudged he took hold of her hand and shook it….

"Ms Gupta once the legal work has been completed on the contract we will start work…"

"Good take care gentleman…." Riddhima turned to leave the room….

"OMG Armaan we did it!!… I mean you did it we set for life…"

"There something fishing going on why did she not go for Saatchi and Saatchi? Why Signature? And I thought after our fight she would …" he looked at Chirag staring at him not impressed.

"Look she a business woman and would not be receiving her award tomorrow night if she was not able to make good business mind decisions and …we both going to the event tomorrow so make sure…You are ready but tonight we celebrate…" Chirag pulled him into a hug….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ms Gupta he is responding to the new drugs really well!" Riddhima smiled as she looked over at Maya sitting next to her as she gentle leaned her head on Riddhima's shoulder….

"Can we see Grandpa now?" Riddhima looked at her not sure …

"I think see Maya and Anjlai would be a good idea …." Riddhima looked at Dr Phillips he was a senior doctor and knew the family history…

"Riddhima beta!" Riddhima looked at her father coming to hug her as he stood in his red velvet bathrobe and matching satin night suit…His eyes fell on Maya and he smiled placing his hand on her head as she looked at him holding Riddhima's hand…

"Armaan not here?" Riddhima looked at him totally confused as he looked over her shoulder…

"He still mad at me I guess….from our talk couple of days ago before the prom!" Riddhima looked at her father turning to pick Maya up…

"Tell you're father to see me…. I want to say I am sorry!" Riddhima looked at him stepping forwards and taking hold of Maya…

"Maya honey why don't you go with the lovely nurse to the play area…" Riddhima looked at the nurse as she nodded her head taking Maya away…

"What talk papa?" she looked at him now looking down at his hands as he sat on the bed..

"I told him to stay away from you…..i wrote him a cheque for 50 thousand dollars as I knew he was after our money….. he picked up the cheque and put his hand in his pocket and placed all the money he hand on the table and said… 5o thousand dollar and 25 dollars and 75cent…. Give me Riddhima!….. I was shocked and anger and threw him out of the house… But he still dumped you …I kind of guest when I told him that I disown you he got scared and dumped you…." Shanshank looked at her crying and looked at her confused getting up.

"Did you know that bas***d Vivek threw Anjali and her 6month old baby out on the streets and it was Armaan who took them in…..when I told her to come back home she refused and I thought Armaan would marry her ….but he called her Di and he had that same look in his eyes I saw when I saw him at the ball…when he lead you down the stairs with him dressed white…. You looked so much like you're mother…." He placed his hand on her face and wiped her tears…

"He told me he know what it's like to live in this world without a parent and never wanted you to live through that that was why he…." As the tears ran down her face she looked at the grey haired man in front of her and closed her eyes felling her inside shatter into pieced… he loves me so much and I hated him she thought….hugging her father she sobbed…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Cheers to Armaan!" Chirag shouted in Armaan apartment as Ritu and Chriag sat with him as he had left the office party early…

"Chirag you're drunk…" Ritu said holding Disha

"I love you guys!" Feeling his arm around him as he pulled Ritu from the other side she looked at Armaam apologies for Chirag's behaviour…

^BUZZ*

"More guess?" Armaan headed for the door thing of whom else Chirag had invited around…

*SLAP * feeling a burning sensation on his cheek he looked at Riddhima looking at him in such anger…

"That for never believing in me and our love…"
"SLAP *

"That's for making me hate you for 8 years…" seeing the tears running down her face he stepped closer to her as he knew something was terrible wrong..

"I hate you for loving me and I …. " unable to speak any more she looked at him looking at her unsure of what was going on as he stepped closer to her…As she took hold of his collars he looked at the pain in her eyes as he moved to hug her as he found her body go limp and caught her before she fell…

"Riddhima?" Lifting her up in his arms he walked into his apartment holding her ….Ritu looked at him in tears as he placed her on the sofa and looked over at her confused …

"Call 991" Chirag shouted as he became a little sober…

"Di can you leave us!" Ritu looked over at him mumble as he gentle stroked her hair back kneeling on the floor looking at Riddhima in tears….

"Chirag come on honey…." She looked over at Chirag as he nodded

"Armaan?" he placed his hand on his shoulder.

"She will be fine…Call us if you need us!" Ritu looked at him as he placed his hand on his forehead looking at her……..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mr Malik her sugar is low hence…"

"Yeah when she gets stressed she gets like this it happened before ….I make sure she eats…." He looked at her lying on his bed as the doctor examined her and nodded…

"Superman she going to be ok?" Armaan looked at Maya walking into the room with Tracy and nodded.

"Sir …I am capable of looking after Maya if you wish…"

"No Tracy …thank you for calling her mobile as I would never have know Maya was with you …I would have worried….and for calling her doctor for me Ms Robinson…" Armaan looked at her as she smiled weakly at him as he stood up… She had seen his photo in Riddhima's desk and he was even more handsome then those photo's eight years ago ….leaving the room she noticed Riddhima photo near his computer and smiled walking out knowing she was in good hands.

"DR Evan's thank you so much…" Armaan said looking at the old grey hair man placing the tablets on the bedside table smiling.

"No Problem young man get her to see me at the clinic as I need to give her one of my lectures… her and Bi seriously need to be told off…" Armaan nodded feeling better know she was going to be ok as Maya took hold of his hand looking at Riddhima looking very pale…

"Right lets make sure Massi rest and as for you its bed time…Tracy tells me you had Pizza and stuff…" He lead her out the door to the spare bedroom and smiled as she looking at him.

"Don't be mad at Massi we went to see Grandpa this evening and she been crying in the car….she told me in was her contact lens but I know she was crying…." Armaan looked at her taking off her clothes as he handed her one of his t-shirts to wear.

"Ok! Now enough talking into bed and .."

"She loves you Superman more then me ….so marry her for me she needs you so much and has never loved anyone but you….I don't get it you love her right and she you so what the problem?" Maya looked at him getting into bed as she looked at the blank expression on his face…as he tucked her into bed…

"Ok good night!" he whisper placing his lips on her forehead as a lone tear ran down his face…..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As he unbutton his shirt he looked at her in his bed as if the whole bed had swallowed up her body…taking off his shirt he open the closet and placed it inside on the hanger and unzipped his trousers…. Pulling up the blanket he go into bed with her ….feeling her ice cold body next to him he moved closer to her and placed his arms around her waist….Feeling her silk vest as his hand inside her vest to feel her cold flat stomach an pulled himself closer to her….As he looked down at her frowning he kissed her forehead as she moved into his body like a perfect fit …holding her completely he closed his eyes….

Lifting her heavy head she opened her eyes to see a man's chest before her where her head was resting…looking at his face she stared at him as he lay naked in front of her …. Seeing a head of curly hair she looked at his other side to find Maya snuggled up against him too….

'What am I doing here?'

"Ridz?" she looked at the light brown eyes staring at her…..

~~Part 6~~

He looked at her as he cracked the egg in the bowl ….this morning she got up but due to the weakness she fell …as he frowned at her helping her up… He helped her to the bathroom and enter the kitchen to make breakfast.. Her eyes looked so strained as she pulled his white bathrobe two sizes to big for her around herself …. Feeling his hand rubbing her shoulder she looked at him a little taken back by his affection as he leaned forward and kissed her little on the forehead to see her blush… Feeling the warm feeling inside her she looked at him as he went back to make her breakfast…. He stood in the small island where the cooker was placed wearing just his black Nike bottoms and a white vest…He looked at her and smiled mixing the eggs it was as in the silence they has said what they wanted to and it felt so peaceful for the first time in her life she felt nothing but calm and sensed he felt it too….

"Morning Superman!" Maya said yawning as she sctacher her head heading for Riddhima.

"Morning Massi …" Feeling Riddhima lift her up she giggled as she sat next to her …feeling Riddhima lips on her cheek… Looking up she looked at Armaan winking at her…

"pancakes! my favourite.." They looked at him as he lifted the frying pan and tossed it into the air…and as it landed they clapped as he placed it back onto the heat…

"mine too!" Riddhima said looking at him as he smiled… Last time he made her pancakes was when she was studying and with nothing in the house he made her pancakes …apologised as he not able to do the shopping and was out off everything but the ingredient for pancake were there…they eat pancakes all evening and he taught her how to toss the pancake …

"Can I toss one please…Superman!" Maya jumped off her stood and looked at him looking at her.

"Sure but it hot so we do it together…" Riddhima looked at him placed her hands on his as they flipped the pancake…Maya beamed in delight as she watch it coming down into the frying pan..

"Ok now I think we done… lets see I have strawberries, maple syrup and some fruit.." they looked at him place the bowls on the breakfast table as he went back to get coffee…

"I want coffee too!" Maya decided looking at them to see Riddhima frown.

"No I think warm milk will do…we don't want you on this vile stuff!" Riddhima said getting up to feel his hand on her wrist.

"I get it…you still weak and I don't want a relapse like last time.." he looked at her nodding getting back into her seat.

"Last time?" Maya looked at him placing the piece of pancake drenched in maple syrup into her mouth.

"We where rehearsing for a reading and someone was so nervous and past out…and then did not eat worrying about how her class mate would tease her and fainted …2 days it took her to get better and I was worried ringing Bi to get updates …as uncle would not allow her to take calls…" Riddhima looked at him a little taken back.

"Bi said you rang once and…"

"Ask her.. Most of the time uncle answered and I got Candice to talk to him.." he stopped and looked at her to see her staring at him with tears brimming into her eyes..

"Peaches eat up…it's getting cold!" he looked at her blush deeply as she looked at him. It not called her that for such a long time and looked at him.

"Thanks for breakfast… I have to get to the office and…" she felt his arms around her and smiled looking at her.

"I am so happy you know the truth and we can now both move on.." she looked at him some what confused as he smiled at her.

"so you collecting you're award today I see you there? .." nodding her head she looked at him closing the car door as she walked to the house holding Maya's hand..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I would like to thank everyone in Padmini Industries…as this would not have been possible without them and this award is for them…Thank you!" hearing the applause her eyes darted around the room looking for him but he had not arrived… as the camera lights flashed she smiled holding her award.

"Riddhima!" seeing Nana waving at her she smiled as she approached them and was hugged by him.

"you're father would be proud of you…in fact we all are!" he beamed looking at her.

"Thanks Chachu…!"

"About time…now we get some really men in this place for you Riddhima.." she turned to see Lovely scoping out the joint and spotted a target

"Ok there is Rahul Grewal… rich successful lawyer here to met someone not sure who?" Riddhima rolled her eyes looking at her as she gave her the details spotting Armaan coming in she froze to see Muskhan on his arm..

"OMG why is he with her?" Riddhima looked over at Lovely

"You mean Armaan's date?" seeing Lovely shake her head she looked at her curiously.

"Muskhan? Event organised …she hold a lawyers degree and she took up this profession her parents are disappointed they save to get her educated as they not rich people and she took a different route… I have no idea what he see in her as she always with other men and he's the same too… Ritu says there just friends from university but we know there's more…" Riddhima looked over at them greeting other people in the hall.

"may be there just friends?" Armaan was always supporting people and she was one of his friends…but he introduced her as girl friend and he talks about her occasional.. Ok Rid you think too much… you here and he's here ….Time to rock and roll.

"You know Riddhima you and Armaan would be perfect but Nana say he's gay for ever helping people and loves kids…he thinks it not natural?" Riddhima looked over at her shocked..

"He's not gay believe me…….excuse me!" Lovely looked at her as she went to get a drink.

"Congratulations!" feeling his arms around her she smiled back at him…and looked at Muskhan take hold of his arm as he released her quickly…

"Muskhan how are you?" Riddhima asked looking at her dressed in a black number

"Fine thank you… congratulations!" she replied with a weak smile.

"Muskhan?!" they all turned to see a tall handsome young man look at her as she looked at him totally surprised.

"Rahul!" Armaan looked down at her almost whispering and gripping his arm.

The saw the tears filling her eyes as she looked over at them…

"Excuse me…" Riddhima and Rahul looked over at her a little surprise as she walked away. She looked at Armaan and knew there was something going on between Rahul and her

"Armaan I just want to talk to here…please man!"

"Rahul she needs time.." Riddhima smiled within they not together and…

"Excuse me gentlemen!" Riddhima looked over at them and head for the bathroom

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I am such an idiot!" Muskhan mumbled holding her mascara brush.

"Are you ok?" she looked at Riddhima in the mirror and nodded

"Ok so what do you say to you're first love …when he tell you his parent want him to marry someone else as I'm not good for him.." Riddhima looked at her surprised and shocked.

"If I was a lawyer no problem…but I'm a event organiser/ wedding planner…not worthy of there blue eyed boy…they disgraced my parents and…I hate him!" she looked at her now sobbing and took hold of her.

"I cant stop think about him and I love him so much …" she sobbed in between breaths

"Wait what am I say you done the same to Armaan… he so loves you and you choice you're father over him!" Riddhima looked at her dumbstruck..

"No I never knew? I just found out?" Riddhima said defending herself.

"you knew thought about finding out the truth? How all his life he craved for you and would get drunk and cry think about you.. What is it with you rich folk?" Riddhima looked at her looking at herself in the mirror.

"What about you? Think of you're pride instead of what you leaving?" Muskhan looked at her in the mirror.

"That all we working class have…my parent struggled to get me educated to be told that they using me to get there son is not on.." Muskhan restored back,

"What did Rahul say?"

"he said he never knew…and I did not want any justification.."

"You still love him and…"

"look at me Riddhima and look at you… You're rich and successful high society flyer and look at me.. Middle class and poor… Caviar and Salmon do not taste the same honey…your in a different league and so am I.. he is better off finding someone in his league"

"I get it you're scared…" they turned to see Rahul

Riddhima looked at her eyes widen to see him as he walked in the ladies toilet to see the other women look at him.

"Dame right I am scared…what you see is what you get…and I am not acceptable to you're kind.." Muskhan walked away to find his hand take hold of his wrist…

"that was what I fell in love with and now I think I have fallen even more madly in love with you…" he said stepping closer to her.

"I want to marry you not anyone else and…" Riddhima walked out of the bathroom leaving them alone to see Armaan approach her.

"They working it out…" she said to see a smile on his face.

"Thanks peaches.." taking hold of her hand he lead her onto the dance floor….

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Melting in his arms she just looked at him unknow to her that everyone just witnessed nothing but love on the dance floor....

"Armaan" she whispered breathless as he release her from his kiss…feeling her back against the door of his apartment she could not believe how fast the evening had come to an end as she had her arms around his neck…

"I am falling in love with you…" he whispered in a sexy and husky voice as he place his lips on her neck to hear slightly moan in pleasure.

"I never fell out of love with you Armaan!" she gasped feeling him take hold of her skin with his mouth as she could feel her pulse racing as he awaken the woman with in her…. Franticly she felt her fingers running through his hair and her bosom heaved as she felt his strong and warm hands on her waist pulling her close to him…. He looked at her as she stood before him with her eyes closed as he stepped back.

"We should stop!" he said breathless looking at her trying to control the desire building inside him…as his stomach could feel the fire she had ignited within him and he need to stop or he would explode giving in to the fantasy he had dream since they had parted…She looked at him feeling slightly disappointed as she want him to put out the fire burning through her body …he knew what buttons to press as his kiss were as she remember full of nothing but love. …remembering the kiss of confession for the first time she remember him saying peaches and when she looked at him he said the how her skin was soft like them and her kiss as sweet and juice ….making her blush…. He looked at her blushing with a far away look in her eyes turning away he felt her hand take hold of his wrist…feeling her lean forward and kiss him with such passion he took hold of her as he pulled her towards his chest… Feeling her finger gentle easy off his black blazer her kisses did not stop….as he moved his hands down the back of her dress…feeling her fingers lifting out his shirt as he kissed her back passionately he found her fingers reaching for his buttons and with such ease she placed her fingers onto his bare chest unable to control the throbbing feeling she had not ignited and feeling nothing but so turned on by her kisses he pulled her hard towards his chest as he groaned placing his tongue inside her mouth….

Feeling his fingers now unzipping the zip on her back she felt his hands inside touching her skin and moving down the curves of her back…as he slowly moved up to her shoulders feeling his hand pull off the straps on her shoulder she felt the dress fall off her body as he released her from his kiss to see her… she blushed feeling his eyes burning into her skin taking her in….. he looked at her standing there before him as he stood with his shirt on the floor on top of her dressed moving forward he lifted her up into his arms and gently placed her on the bed… She looked at him as he mounted her…

"Are you sure?" he whispered as he looked into her eyes and got the go a head… he kissed her hard and could feel her beneath him in tune with his burning body full of nothing but desire for her feeling her finger nails on his back he knew he had to be gentle as he released her kiss… seeing the tears running down her face….

"Do you want me to stop?" he whispered seeing her shake her head.

"Am I huting you?" he asked feeling him self inside her to see her shaking her head…feeling her pull him down to her she kissed him.

"I want you forever Armaan I cant live without you know!" feeling his kiss she closed her eyes feeling his hand touch part of her no one had ever done before…….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She smiled getting up to see no one in the room as she felt the warmth of the sun seeping through the window of the apartment…blushing slightly as she remembered how they made love all night and how he had made her a woman and his woman….getting out of the bed she pulled the sheet around her as she felt her body ache in placed she had never know had existed…She walked into the bathroom and saw him in the shower ….seeing his body threw the steamed glass she smiled ….should I? She asked herself as she closed her eyes.

"I was not?" she teased feeling her turning her around to face him…

"Omg cover you're self?" she said closing her eyes unable to imagine he stood dripping on the floor looking at her as she hide her face in her hands.

"Excuse me miss it a little late for that as a certain someone was ripping of my clothes in the hall way…" he chuckled moving her hands from her face.

"Ok refreshen up I make breakfast…" he looked back at him as she took hold of him from behind.

"No I make breakfast!" she confirmed he turned to look at her as she dropped the sheet and enter the show cubicle…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh Bi so much has happened!" Riddhima hugged her as she looked at her glowing like nothing before and smiled.

"Beta I am so happy for you…" she said looking at her and see Armaan sitting on the couch with Maya playing the Wii….

"Bi there a problem!" they turned to look at him as he frowned looking at the screen.

"Armaan? What you saying?" Bi said looking at him as Maya laugh out loud seeing him loose all his lives as he threw the controller on the floor and looked at her…shaking his face to her victory.

"Oh man? You cheated!" he said looking at her as Riddhima and Bi approached him.

"Superman you sore looser and…I never cheat not my fault you cant play Mario cart and lost the race…" they looked at him frown and crossing his arms like a baby….Riddhima giggled as Maya winked at her.

"Ok come on I let you win the next race…" Maya said looking at him pout his lip.

"Man I get a cheating child and a woman who cant cook!" he sulked looked at the screen.

"hey?" the both screamed at him

"I never cheated!" Maya shouted

"I can cook!" Riddhima shouted

Bi laugh as they looked at them shaking his head.

"This is all you fault Bi …why did you not teach you're daughter to cook? and she just like her Massi cheating and playing tricks…" Armaan looked at Bi getting up from the couch…

" I going to kill you…" Maya leaped on top of him as Bi looked at his stumble onto the couch as she placed her hands on his neck.

"Cheater!" he shouted as she frowned at him.

"I never cheated and stop calling my massi names!" she shouted …Riddhima looked at them and stepped in …she looked over at Bi smiling as she left them.

"Armaan say sorry to Maya!" she said firmly looking at him.

"No!" he restored back.

"Superman!" Maya looked at her frowning and shook his head.

"Admit it you know the cheat and supercharged the car …" Maya looked at him and stopped….Riddhima looked at Maya and smiled.

"Ahem…Armaan?" He looked at riddhima and frowned.

"Bunch of cheats…"

"Right Maya I can handle this…." Armaan looked at her narrowing his eyes as she came towards him.

"STOP IT!" he laugh feeling them both tickling him.

"Riddhima you know I am ticklish…." They looked at him rolling on the floor and giggled…

"The bigger there are the harder they laugh Maya remember that…" Maya giggled as she tickled him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Bi why did you call me that day?" Armaan looked over at her in the kitchen.

"I knew Riddhima discovered the truth…Maya called me from Tracy and told me what Shanshank said…I knew she come to see you…"Bi looked at him as his eyes filled up.

"That was one scary night …you should have seen her face when she looked at me Bi…" Bi turned to look at him.

"All this time I was scared of what would happen when she find out the truth…and I could not tell her ….How was I going to say I left her for her fathers sake…I mean how would I explain…" she looked at him as he stared into space.

"But Armaan that was not the only reason beta was it?" he looked at her shaking his head in agreement.

"No Bi and how do you always now?" he looked at her smiling at him.

"I am Bi!" she said proudly giggling…Riddhima stopped hearing them in the kitchen and stood near the door….to see him smiled as Bi patted him on the back.

"I was so scared Bi… everyone I love leave me!" feeling the lump in his throat he saw the look of surprise on Bi's face and she understood him as he looked at her..

"What ever I touch kind of goes away…Papa dieing and them Amma…I felt as if I don't stop then I would kill her tooo…I know I might me sound pathetic bi…"

"No beta I can understand…when you surrounded by unhappiness you fear loosing the one thing that makes you happy and that was Riddhima…" he looked up at her and nodded.

"That night after the prom I felt so ashamed of my self and thought I tell her the truth but she was so cold and just ran away from me…I was heart broken but them thought it was the best…She had accepted it was over and I guess I was hoping and…" he stopped feeling a hand take hold of his and turned to see her.

"You should have told me the truth!" he looked at her surprised to see her as Bi smiled and left the room.

"I tried to talk to remember but I could not do it…and you're father wanted what was best…he loved you a lot and maybe he was right I could not give you anything at that time I was in debt and penniless…to any father I would look like I was after something….I understood him and I accepted it was fate…"

"RIDDHIMA!" hearing the scream they both jerked and ran out of the kitchen.

"Beta is Bhai sahib…" Riddhima looked over at Bi as she took hold of the phone…

~~~part 9~~

"Ok? Explain to me how a 68year old man can walk out of a secure hospital!??" She shouted looking at the hospital staff.

"Ms Gupta we where attending a seriously ill patience when I came to give him his medicine he was gone…" Riddhima looked over at the nurse sobbing feeling Armaan place his arm around her and gentle rubbed it as he felt herself sink into him and looked at him in horror..

"Ms Gupta we have notified the police! May be he gone home? or to a place he loves?!" The warden said looking at her for answers.

"Where am I going to find him in New York City and in the dark…he's not well?" Feeling the tears rolling down her cheek she turned into Armaan's chest and felt his arms around her.

"We can check the place you can remember Baby…come on ….Please call us on this number if you find anything?" He said handing over his card and leading her out.

"I never should have admitted him and he sick Armaan he does not know the time and who he talking to …this is all my fault…" she sobbed feeling him stroke her hair…

"Shhhhh… he left for a reason Riddhima think about it what's he favourite spot or anything…" he looked at her and saw her nodding wiping her tears…

"Central park…near the swing…" she whispered taking hold of his hand…

Armaan drove the car towards the park and looked at her checking the sidewalk and looking to see if she can spot him….the streets where filled with drunks and street crawlers it was 9pm and the city life this time was so different with the eve cries and neon lights flashing…

"I am scared Armaan it's been 3 hours and we checked most places I hope he at the park…" he looked over at her biting the corner of her mouth as he gentle placed his hand on her thigh to feel her hand on top of his..

As he held her hand he looked over at her looking all around and seeing the drunks in the park and the hookers he looked over at the people looking over at her….Not liking the situation they where in they looked over to see a policeman patrolling the park and stopped.

"Officer we looking for my father?" She looked over at the policeman as he looked over at her. He was dressed in blue and was heading towards his car while they walked with him.

"Have you reported him missing?" the policeman shook his head.

"Look this time of night you not going to find him in this place…I suggest you go home and the old man will be there…" he said steeping up his pace.

"He mentally ill officer?" she looked at him pleading as he stopped and looked at her.

"Look I saw an elderly guys sitting near joggers area try there…" he suggested looked at them both.

"If he not there then please go to the nearest police station and report him missing…" he said as the police radio buzzed out a number.

"TEN FOUR!" Armaan nodded his head at the police man as he spoken into his head

"Be careful…" the police officer shouted as he headed to his car

Silently praying she spotted a man sitting on the bench in the park as she approached him she looked at him holding something… it was him sitting on the bench rocking back and fourth mumbling…Feeling Armaan release her she turned to looked at him questioning him…

"He needs you Riddhima go to him….I'll be right here…I promise!" She looked into his eyes as he stepped forward and kissed her forehead…. seeing her looking scared he nodded as he walked along side her holding his hand… Feeling her let go of his hand he stopped as he stopped behind the bench as she moved around looking at her father-mumbling sitting on the bench…

Placing her hand gentle of his hand he felt so cold sitting on the bench as if he had been there for ages…

"I have failed? How would I face Padma?" he mumbled looking at her with tears running down his face.

Shuffling closer to him she took hold of his arm she placed her head on his shoulder and felt her own tears running down her face out of relief…

"I failed Anjali and my little princes…" Feeling his hand grasp her hand on his arm he looked at her.

"Padma wanted a boy …and Anjali was born I told her we in America and boys and girls to me don't matter as our child is born out of love and health we should be thankful….. I spoilt her so much…. When you where born I saw so much of Padma in you…. Anjali was my ego and you where my pride but she would always wish she had a boy….and we tried for another baby but she miscarriage….. Doctors told us we had a Son she called him Varun. She never got over it somedays she would sit there crying in the room. I did not know what to do? …but when you enter the room her face would lit up and I guess since I spoilt Anjali she totally spoilt you…. I called you ma ki chuchi and you stick you're tongue at me if I tease you're mother and when she playful hit me …you too would hit me…" Riddhima looked at him chuckling as he looked at her with tears running down her face.

"I failed her beta! I promised I look after you both…but I failed!" he cried out loud as he sank back in his seat. Feeling him taking hold of her hand he pushed her away from him as he looked at her…

"I am not a good father!" he shouted to feel her tighten up in a ball where she sat as he shoved her away from him.
"Papa!" he stopped looking at her realizing what he was doing and quickly hugged her. Sobbing he held her….

"Nunhi kali sone chali
Hawa dheere Aana
Rang bhare sapne liye
Jhoola jhula jaana"

Armaan looked at her looking at him as he rocked her …she looked at him and gestered she was ok as he looked at her nodding…

She tucked him into the bed and looked at him…. The strong man she once knew looked so farile and old as his he lost everything and she remember him telling her in the park walking back he to wants a son and hugged Armaan… Feeling Armaan looking in tearful as he called him papa she smiled looking down at her father. "Thank you papa" she whispered leaning forward and kissing him…..

He looked at her as she enter the living room and sat beside him ….

"He want to go back to LA ….i told him he can when he feeling better…Dr Phillips advise we take him back to the hospital but I don't know Armaan?" she looked at him feeling him pull her towards him.

"He's not well Riddhima….I remember making the same decision for Amma as I could not care for her….it was so difficult but she told me she know she needs care and I admitted her in Cancer home… We can go and see him everyday…." She looked at him and nodded as she placed her head on his chest.

"You're not going to leave me Armaan?" he frowned looking at her as he placed his hand on her chin and lifter her to see him.

"Never…. Maybe Sundays when I see the bit on side!" he looked at her narrowing her eyes at him as he kissed her forehead chuckling.

"Don't joke about such things…. Seriously tell her stay away from me or I pop her eyes out…I have Candice a run for her money and the others…" he pulling her close to him.

"Hmm Rambo Riddhima is back!" he chuckled looking at her smile.

"I can stay here forever like this!" she said blissfully in his arms closing her eyes.

"I should leave ….Feels a bit stange me here with Bi and you're father tucked in bed and we out here…" he said looking at her snuggling up to him as he shifted a little.

"You such a fuzzy dudy …You my husband and I don't get what the problem is…" he looked at her narrowing his eyes are her as she looked at her looking at him with mischeive in her eyes.

"We're not married!" he said looked at her slowly moving up.

"Dad thinks we are so play along…" she winked kissing him.

He looked at her and stopped outside her bedroom and looked at her looking at him …her eyes where asking him why he had stopped?

"Bi what will we say?" he whispered to see her frown.

"One more word and it the divorce court…" she whispered back pulled him into the room.

"I think I have created a monster…." He said smiled as he looked at her taking of her designer t-shirt .

"What you waiting for?" she said shaking her head and throwing her t-shirt at him to see him raise his eyes brows…

"I was waiting for someone to accepted her marriage proposal…" he said walking towards her she place her arms around his neck.

"Husband… lover and plaything for the rest of my entire life…to hold and ect ect I cant remember the rest…Ok you can know kiss the bride…" she looked at him as he had that hmm look on his face and frowned at him.

"I was waiting for does any one object part…" he looked at her giving him a scolded look…and chuckled….pulling her close to him

"Ok so like Ritu and Chirag have gone too….Visit his uncle!" she looked at him nodding…

"Actual that the excuse he used to get her out of the house…he taken her to Jersey for the weekend…" she said winking at her.

"That man is so sly…" she giggled looked at him watching the planes outside the large window.

"He a romantic man loves his wife… he told me he came hold and saw her crying and was confused as Disha was asleep and the house looked fine…and she told him this is her life waiting for him to come home while he enjoying his life and she stuck with the baby…. She gets very mood ever since the this cheeky monkey been born…" he chuckled looking at Disha smiling.

"Oh I see man I have all this to come I guess…" she looked at him raising his eyes brows at her…

"Don't worry …I be just as romantic…" he said looking at her smiling broadly.

"No I meant since you be looking at the kids ….house husband and all…I have to sneak you out of the house with excuses…" she giggled looking at him and looked over at BI as they started laughing.
