but somewhere in his heart, he wanted to be there, with her and spend some time with her. it was okay for him, even if he was with an identity of a girl. he found her waking up. so, he pretended that, he was asleep.
riddhima did know that, he was her armaan, but dressed in woman's clothes. she made out, when armaan (in the avatar of a sikh woman) felt shy when riddhima was adjusting her dhupatta.. she knew that, there was mistake on both of their sides. he hid that, he acted as muskaan's fiance and her mistake was, not to understand him.
but she also knew that, she was helpless. she had to do that, because of the rush in her emotions and insecurities. she thought that, he was sleeping. therefore, she shifted closer to him and caressed his hair and cheeks. a couple of tears landed on his face. he felt a shiver run down his spine but he kept quiet. he thought he can know what is going in her heart, if he managed to keep quiet for a while..
riddhima: aisa kyun karte ho armaan.. tumhe pata hai na, ki mein tum se kitna pyaar karti hoon.. haan.. mein thoda galat thi aur tum thoda galat the. tum ne mere koi baat nahi suna aur mujhe bataane ke bina chaley gaye. toh mein kya karoon.. armaan, mujhe laga tha ki, hamare relation mein agar ladayi hui, toh, we can communicate and solve it. uss din bhi tumhare upar chillane ke baad, mein tumhe sorry bolne aayi par tum gayab ho gaye the. mein kahan kahan nahi dhoonda tujhe.
akeli aayi thi kasauli, tumhe wapas le jaane ke liye. i just thought ki, everything will be the same and an apology would do and it is never too late but.. but.. armaan... you just behaved with me like you never knew me. armaan.. you see.. we were in love damn it.. and how can some one behave like a stranger infront of you love... when you left me all alone in the dark roads of kasauli, i never realized that, you hated me but.. when you left me all alone in the cheap lodge amongst cheap and dangerous people, i really realized that, you hated me deep from your heart.
warna, mujhe pata hai.. ki, tum aisa kabhie nahi karoge.. tum ne ek baar bhi nahi socha ki, tum kya kar rahe the.. agar mujhe wahan kuch ho gaya toh.. tum ne humanity ke liye bhi nahi socha ki.. arey.. ek ladki mumbai se, mere liye aur sirf mere liye aayi hai aur mein uske saath aise pesh aa raha hoon... ek baar bhi tumjhe woh ehsaas nahi hua..
mujhe nahi pata ki, you still love me or not.. but all i know is, i love you and will keep loving you under any circumstances and under any condition. you are my first and the last love armaan..
this made armaan to open his eyes. tears started streaming down, making it miserable for him. he felt ashamed to look into her eyes. her each and every word pierced deep into his heart. he did know his mistake but was not aware of the solution or the way to correct it.
armaan: i am sorry riddhima... mein tum se bohot pyaar karta hoon..
riddhima: armaan...
armaan: riddhima... i am sorry.. i am not gurmeet kaur.. i am.. hmm.. armaan mallik.. your and yours only armaan mallik..
riddhima: i love you too.. and khabadaar mujhe kabhie chod ke chala gaya toh.. thappad maaroongi..
armaan: promise.. aisa kabhie nahi hoga..
she pulled him into a tight hug and he responded happily. he never knew that, that night would be sooo special for him or them.. he was on the top of the world. he got his first love back.

they made their way to the gardens outside. riddhima inbetween, pulled armaan's wig slightly, which made him frown. he holded riddhima by her waist, and whispered naughtily.
armaan: basket, subah toh inti serious thi.. aur ab aap ko bohot mazaak sooj raha hai.. kya baat hai bhai..
riddhima: armaan.. 😳 aisa kuch nahi.. woh bass. tum iss chudidaar mein bohot funny lag rahe ho... maine toh pehchan bhi liya.. hehehe...
armaan: that's not soo very funny okay.. you should know.. how badly i was missing you...
riddhima: okay.. iss baar.. role reversal... dance..
armaan: music ?
riddhima lifted her hands in the air and made the signs of playing the asmaani tune and they danced.
armaan: i really love this atmosphere.. in these gardens, with the full moon shining and JUST YOU AND ME... this is the place destined for us.
hey friends,
