The alarm was ringing
A beautiful girl with a sweet smile woke up'.still feeling sleepy'and yawing she opened the curtains of her window and saw the beatiful sunrise'.joy sparkled from her eyes'
She saw the time, it was 7:00am..
Riddhima : Aah!! It hurts.
She could feel pain in her chest. But it's nothing new. She is used to this'this pain is her best companion never leaves her alone. It has always been with her, during happiness'during sadness'.
It was another beautiful morning.
She started getting ready for her collage 'she was a second year student'.
She went for her bath and wore a beautiful white suit with some glass work on it'she was brushing her perfectly straight hair when her mother walked in.
Padma: How are you feeling beta???
Ridz : Awesome ma. Another perfect day (smiling)
Padma: (smiling, with a tear glistening in her eyes) What do you want to have for breakfast?
Ridz : Anything you make'I'd even love a simple slice of bread from your hand.
Padma went smiling to herself.
Everyone was having their breakfast on the dinning table 'Riddhima ,her dad and ma..
Padma: Have you taken all your medicines?
Ridz : Yes mama, don't worry. Pa tell ma naa, itni chinta karti hain!
Shishank : Padma don't you worry she can take a good care of herself'(winking at his daughter)
In the college,
Riddhima was walking down the corridor ..
Suddenly she felt a push and the next thing she saw was, all her books and notes were lying on the floor..
Riddhima was totally pissed off now : Hey you !! don't you have eyes ? Can't you walk properly, weirdo!
A handsome guy in a black shirt and jeans turned back and saw her. Their eyes met for a second and then that guy was looking down at the floor..
He came rushing and picked all the books up.
Riddhima was just standing and waiting.
He got up and handed all the books and notes to her ,and then with a cute smile even said sorry to her.
Riddhima whose temper was at its peak melted because of his charm and sweet smile.
She slowly murmured,
Riddhima : I'm sorry for being so rude to you.
Guy: That's perfectly alright ..it was my fault.. I have eyes and I should use them!
Riddhima smiled : By the way,I'm Riddhima.
Guy : I'm Armaan....... Armaan Mallik.
And with this he went away'
Riddhima was still standing there numb'there was a tiny smile on her face and that smile remained on her face for rest of the day'
