I LOVE U AS U ARE(AR) new link - pg 1 - Page 57

Ok friends, i have tried putting an AR scene, n i dont know if i am happy wid it. I know i say it everytime, n thats coz i think somewhere the story is getting boring, but i am trying my best. Moreover, there was lots of exam pressure, so i didnt exactly know wht i was writing. Now, i am hopefully gonna put some good AR scenes next time, but i cant promise, it all depends on my mood.

Just then, they all were asked to choose a mask from the bowls in front of them by Anjali, n then dance with ur partner who had an identical mask. Armaan knew wht to do, he immediately moved forward to pick up a mask from the bowl, which according to him suited Riddhima's dress. He took it, n started his search for Riddhima, n definitely, there she stood, at a distant corner, with her mask on her face, looking everywhere, in search of her partner. Armaan went to her, n she saw him coming. He did not know if she recognised him due to the mask, but he hoped not. As he neared her, he said, "May I?".

Riddhima hated Anjali for tht game, n herself even more, for choosing the most obvious mask. She shud have been judgemental in her choice, how cud she forget tht Armaan wud choose the same mask, it matched with his dress. But now, it was done. The moment she had seen him approaching her, she'd known it was him. Well, it was very difficult not to recognise him, he was the only one to look so devastatingly handsome even in tht simple dress. He had this ceratin aura around him. Though his eyes were hidden with tht mask, his dimples were his identifying feature. That killer smile he flashed, took Riddhima's heart away, n the urge to touch his dimples grew even more. His long hair falling sideways on his forehead, how she wished to put them away. He came to her and asked for the dance. Her heart won over her mind and without any delay, she gave her hands in his, to flow with him to the floor.

Armaan had been ecstatic when she had given her hand to him without any reservations. His joy was only added a few minutes earlier when Nikki had announced tht she had to leave due to an office emergency. He had observed tht though Nikki behaved normally with him, she was very anti-Armaan as far as Riddhima was concerned. He was glad she had left, which left Riddhima all to himself. He had planned everything for the dance, n his main focus had been, music, his playlist of shortlisted songs. But one look at the DJ, and Armaan had seen his plans shattering. Th DJ tonight was Aditya, his old classmate from school, now the famous DJ Adhiraj. Armaan had never gotten along with him, n the events with Riddhima had only made it worse. Adi still hadnt forgiven him, n this he concluded by his hostility towards Armaan when he'd joined them for a few minutes. But Armaan was after all Armaan, he always had a back up, n his back up was the same old, Champ. Atul had gone n requested the DJ to play only slow music tonight, and handed him a playlist of some selected songs, n the DJ had been only happy to do so side by side playing some songs of his choice. After all, two of his good friends needed this time with their partners, but little did he know that it was helping his other third friend the most.

Armaan led Riddhima to the dance floor, and as if enchanted by his magic, she followed him. Armaan was least bothered to pat himself for having this effect on her, infact, he was more lost in her, he didnt want to miss this oppurtunity of having her so close to him.

AUTHOR'S NOTE - To enjoy the scene better, do read the lyrics of the songs, it helps in understanding Armaan n Riddhima's feelings better.

Sajde mein yun hi jhukta hoon
Tum pe hi aa ke rukta hoon
Kya yeh sab ko hota hai
Hum ko kya lena hai sab se
Tum se hi sab batein ab se
Ban gaye ho tum meri dua

Khuda Jaane ke mein fida hun
Khuda Jaane mein mit gaya
Khuda jaane yeh kyun huwa hai
Ke ban gaye ho tum mere khuda

Next, it played, 'Tera Hone Laga Hoon', which told Riddhima that he had been falling in love with her again and again since he'd met her.

Shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on feel me
Girl feel me
Shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on heal me
Girl heal me
Thinking about the lovin making and life sharing come and feel me
Girl feel me
Shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on feel me
Come on heal me

O aaja tu bhi mera mera
Tera jo ikraar hua
To kyun na main bhi keh doon keh doon
Hua mujhe bhi pyaar hua

Tera hone laga hoon khone laga hoon Jab se mila hoon
Tera hone laga hoon khone laga hoon Jab se mila hoon

Shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on feel me
Girl feel me
Shining in the setting sun like a pearl upon the ocean come on heal me
Girl heal me

Next, the song changed to 'Kaise Batayein', n in this one, Armaan said it all. He made her see how much he loved her, n how much his heart longed for her, it pained for her company.

Kaise Bataye Kyun Tujhko Chahe
Yaara Bata Na Paaye
Baatein Dilon Ki Dekho Zuban Ki Aankhein Tujhe Samjhayen
Tu Jaane Na
Tu Jaane Na
Tu Jaane Na
Tu Jaane Na

The song now playing was 'Tu Hi Haqeeqat', this one based for them to realise tht Riddhima had always been Armaan's life, his dreams as well as his reality. Though he'd not known it, but unknowingly, even in her absence, he'd looked for her in every girl he'd met.

Tu hi haqeeqat khwaab tu
Dariya tu hi pyaas tu
Tu hi dil ki bekarari
Tu sukoon tu sukoon
Jaoon main ab jab jiss jagah
Paoon main tujhko uss jagah
Saath hoke na ho tu hai
Rubaroo rubaroo

Tu humsafar tu humkadam tu humnawah mera
Tu humsafar tu humkadam tu humnawah mera

Next played 'Pal Mein Hi', n this song emphasizd of how much this one moment meant to the both of them due to the presence of the other, and how they wanted to treasure it.

Pal mein hi mujh ko mila pal naya
Kuch mila haan kuch magar kho gaya
Kya kahoon kya nahi
Labz hai kum kahin
Hosh mein dil nahi
Tere aa jaane se, tere aa jaane se, tere aa jaane se hoo
Pal mein hi mujh ko mila pal naya
Kuch mila haan, haan kuch magar kho gaya

Now, it played 'Haan Main Jitni Martaba', filling each of them with a sense of being alive with the other.

Haan Haan Haan Mein Jitni Martaba
Tujhe Hoon Dekhta Yeh
Lagtaa Hai Mujhe
Haan Haan Haan Tujhe Hi Dekh Ke
Meri Saansein Chalein
Bataadun Mein Tujhe

Haan Tu Jeene Ki Vajah
Dikhe Tu Har Jagah
Nazar Jaaye Jahan

Haan Haan Haan Tere Saath Hi
Chalegi Har Ghadi
Yeh Meri Daastan

Next, on the special request by Armaan indirectly, n Atul directly, the song was 'Dil Ibadat', n this song was to tell Riddhima of how he wud always treasure her and her love, may anything happen.

Dil ibadat kar raha hai Dhadkanein meri sun
Tujh ko main kar lu haasil lagi hai yehi dhun
Zindagi ki shaak se lu kuch haseen pal main chun
Tujh ko main kar lu haasil lagi hai yehi dhun
Jo bhi jitne pal jiyun Unhe tere sang jiyun
Jo bhi kal ho ab mera Usse tere sang jiyun
Jo bhi saansein main bharun Unhe tere sang barun
Chahe jo ho raasta Usse tere sang chalun
Dil ibadat kar raha hai Dhadkanein meri sun
Tujh ko main kar lu haasil lagi hai yehi dhun

The next one played 'Iktara', after all those confessions coming from Armaan, Riddhima's heart was intoxicated at a high level, and this song expressed her feelings.

O re manwa tu toh bavra hai?
tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai?
tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai? bavre?
kyun dikhaye sapne tu sote jaagte?
jo barsein sapne boond boond?
nainon ko moond moond?
nainon ko moond moond?
jo barsein sapne boond boond?
nainon ko moond moond?
kaise main chaloon? dekh na sakoon?
anjaane raaste?

goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara?
goonja sa hai koi iktara?
goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara?
goonja sa hai koi iktara? iktara?
dheeme bole koi iktara iktara?
dheeme bole koi iktara?
goonja sa hai koi iktara iktara?
goonja sa hai koi iktara?

Then, the song playing was, 'You May Be', through this song, Armaan promised to love her which ever way she was, n promised to fulfill her every wish, n give her everything she desired.

You're the one, you're the one
Baby you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
Baby you're the one

You may be
Just a lil bit deewani
Thodi thodi si crazy
But baby you're the one

Tum jaisi (jaisi)
Hai na koi yun deewani (deewani)
Thodi thodi si crazy
But baby you're the one
(You're the one)

Ab aur kise na chahata hun
Aur kise na chahunga
Tu jo taare mangle
Toh woh bhi thod launga
Kehke toh dekho na
Kartha rahunga main pyaar

The song played was 'Kubul', asking Riddhima to accept him, n give him a second chance, to ammend his mistakes.

Kubul Kar Le Maula- 2
Jindagi Mein Woh Aayi Hai
Abb Jamin Par Hi Jannat Hai
Ek Pal Ki Na Judaai Ho
Yeh Duwa Hai Yeh Hi Mannat Hai
Kubul Kar Le Maula- 2
Jindagi Mein Woh Aaya Hai
Abb Jamin Par Hi Jannat Hai
Ek Pal Ki Na Judaai Ho
Yeh Duwa Hai Yeh Hi Mannat Hai
Kubul Kar Le Maula- 2

'Teri Meri Dosti ka Aasmaan' displayed Riddhima's desire, to start it all afresh, with them being friends first, making their way to love.

teri meri dosti ka aasmaan
teri meri dosti ka aasmaan
jaane kahaan

tere mere faasle jo kho rahe hai zameen
pal pal yahaan

Now, 'Vaada Raha' played, telling Riddhima tht he had accepted her condition, n tht he wudnt fail her this time.

Vaada Raha Dunga Tujhe Laake Hansi Shaam-o-subah
Vaada Raha Lipata Huwa Honto Pe Tu Hoga Sada
I Promise, I Promise Will Always Love You
I Promise, I Promise, Will Be There For You
Maine Tujhame Jahaan Hai Paya, Tu Banake Duwa Hai Aaya
Yuun Hi Mujhape Rahein Tera Saaya Meherbaan
Ho Teri Aankhon Mein Mera Jahaan Hai, Tu Hoke Wahaan Bhi Yahaan Hai
Tera Jaisa Sukun Kahaan Hai Meherbaan
Rab Ne Barsaayi Mujhape Saari Khudaai
I Promise, I Promise Will Always Love You
I Promise, I Promise, Will Be There For You

Through the song 'Rishtey Naate', he told her tht he'd always be there for her, he'd do anything for her, no bondings or any committment shall ever come in their way.

You and I will be together till the end of time
I promise i will never let you go now then i know you
love me
You and I will be together till the end of time
I promise i will never let you go now then i know you
love me

Chalu main tere peeche peeche baki saare bandan tod doon
Jo tere tak na jaaye uss raste ko chod doon
Har khwab mera umeed meri main tujh se jod doon
Sab rishte naate hasske tod doon
Bas tujh se dil ka rishta jod doon jod doon
Sab rishte naate hasske tod doon
Bas tujh se dil ka rishta jod doon

The song 'Jao Na' played, while he requested her never to leave him, she was everything to him, n her absence shall take everything from him.

tum jo ho toh gaa rahi hai yeh hawa
tum jo ho toh reshmi si hai fiza
jao na? jao na
jao na? jao na
jao na? jao na
jao na? jao na

phir na yeh raat aayegi
phir na yeh rut chhayegi
phir na yun milna hoga
phir na jaane kya hoga
jao na? jao na
jao na? jao na
jao na? jao na
jao na? jao na

The last song which they danced to was 'Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai', which at once, said it all. He poured his heart out, through this song, of how much he had loved her, how much he loves her, what she means to him, she is his first priority, n what not, and while her head rested in his chest, his arms secure around her body, they both enjoyed each others closeness, with immense peace, satisfaction and love in their hearts, and lived upto the song.

tu hi toh jannat meri
tu hi mera junoon
tu hi toh mannat meri
tu hi roh ka sukoon

tu hi aakhion ki thandak
tu hi dil ki hain dastaq
aur kuch na jano mein
bas itna hin jano?

tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon
tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon
sajde sar jhukta hain yaara mein kya karoon
tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon

kaisi hain yeh doori,kaisi majboori
maine nazron se tujhe chooliyaaa? oho oho hon
kabhi teri khusboo,kabhi teri baatein
bin maangein ye jahan pa liya
tu hi dil ki hain ronak,
tu hi janmon ki daulat,
aur kuch na jano mein
bas itna hin jano?

tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon
tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon
sajde sar jhukta hain yaara mein kya karoon
tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon

vaasdi vaasdi vaasdi
dil di dil vich vaasdi
naasdi naasdi naasdi
dil ro ve the naasdi

rab ne bana di?i jodi hain?

vaasdi vaasdi vaasdi
dil di dil vich vaasdi
naasdi naasdi naasdi
dil ro ve the naasdi

cham cham aayein, mujhe tarsayen
tera saaya chedke, chumta?
oho hon?
tu jo muskayein, tu jo sharmaye
jaise mera hai khuda jhoomta
tu hi meri hain barkat, tu hi meri ebadat,
aur kuch na jano
bas itna hin jano

tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon
tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon
sajde sar jhukta hain yaara mein kya karoon
tujh mein rab dikhta hain yaara mein kya karoon

vaasdi vaasdi vaasdi
dil di dil vich vaasdi
naasdi naasdi naasdi
dil ro ve the naasdi

rab ne... bana di... jodi... heyy...

The hall was filled with sudden applause, and this brought her back to reality. She immediately separated from him, but his arms did not leave her, n she looked at him. There were millions of emotions in his eyes. Her heart wanted to stop the moment right there, but she did not let that happen. She jerked him away only to go and stand with Jennifer, who was applauding with other people, for Rahul-Muskaan, and Atul-Anjali, the only couples who had the light, actually spot light on them. She was greatful nobody noticed her with Armaan. Now, standing here, she cud compose herself. She did not know what had happened to her, alright she knew Armaan had this intoxicating effect on her, but tonight, it was different. Being with Armaan so close, she cudnt control her emotions. Her heart was beating abnormally high, and her mind seemed to be jumping here to there. There was a restlessness in her, which she knew was becoz she had separated from him. But she cud not afford to be with him again. The thought of a similar party, 4 years ago, made her back out from the thoughts she was having abt herself and Armaan. It was all over again, history repeating itself, only difference was, things had been at a small level then, but now with growing age, things were happening faster, and had deeper effect.

Armaan was confused, how cud she just run away. He had known the time they had spent together was special for her too. He cud feel it, then how cud she withdraw so suddenly, this thing seemd to hurt him. He had seen denial in her eyes when she'd broken their hug, denial that whatever had happened right now did not mean anything to her. But he knew she was lying, his heart knew she was lying to her teeth, she too had felt the connection and he was making sure she accepts it. He was searching her through the crowd, but she was nowhere to be seen. Finally, after roaming in about the whole party, he saw her standing with Jennifer. She was talking to two guys, whose back was towards him. Before he cud join them, Atul-Anjali, Rahul-Muskaan and Adhiraj joined them too. Armaan was now walking faster and he heard a part of their conversation.

"So Mister Crickter, u've finally got some time to come to my party, ur girlfrnd comes here on time, in fact, she was here the whole day, helping wid the preparations, n u, huh", Anjali asked,

"Areh nahi Anjie, it wasnt my mistake, sachi, u can ask him, he was also there na, so why am only i being blamed", one of the unknown guys(guy 1) answered,

"Dont point ur finger at me, i had already informed Ridzi tht i wud be late, but i never said i wont come", the other unknown guy(guy 2) said,

"You both are so mean, Riddhu, i didnt expect this from u, u team up against me with him, and in the end, i am the one in trouble", guy 1 complained,

"Well, it isnt my mistake as well, u urself called for it. Cudnt u also tell us tht u'll make it late, like he did (she pointed to guy 2), its only u who cares for ur freaking surprises, coz to be honest, u suck at giving surprises", Riddhima said sarcastically,

"Ok ok, but now, am i forgiven, puhleazzzzzzzzzzz, plz plz plz, pretty plz", guy 1 said holding his ears,

"For sure dude", saying that she side hugged him,

"Hey, i am feeling left out, i'll anyways join u both", guy 2 said n he side hugged Riddhima from the other side,

Armaan reached the group only to find Riddhima enveloped like a sandwich between two familiar faces, guy 1 being Modi, and guy 2, well, he cudnt forget Mayank after tht big lecture, cud he? Armaan was angry, not at Modi, or Mayank, but at Riddhima, how cud she behave so normally with everyone after so much had happened. Just then, his thoughts were interrupted by Anjali,

"Hey Armaan, meet two other people from our gang, this is Abhi, Abhimanyu Modi, n this is Mayank Sharma",

"We know each other, right Mallik?", Modi said with a tough look as he shook hands with me, or was it only me who imagined the tough look, coz everybody seemed to have ignored it, Mayank also shook hands and just muttered a hi. God! If looks cud kill, i wud have been dead right there, the look these both were giving me seemed to even scare me, only, i did not show it to them. Finally, Riddhima broke the ice,

"Abhi, Mayu, lets go n get seated. I need to eat something, and i wudnt say no to some coke",

"Ridzi, u go n sit with Abhi, i'll bring some cold drinks for us", Mayank said this and moved away.

Armaan saw the whole group disperse, and getting settled on different tables. While Rahul and Muskaan, Atul and Anjali took two separate tables for two, Adi wnt back to his DJ stand, Jennifer had gone to attend a phone call (samjha karo na, Arjun calling), Riddhima and Abhi settled on another of those round tables. Riddhima was in deep conversation with him, and now, that seemed to pierce Armaan. He had to take a step soon, n he knew what to do.

Armaan knew he had done it, he moved forward to her. He walked off with an air of confidence to ask Riddhima's hand to dance with him, when Modi, who was sitting besides her shouted n engulfed her in a hug,

"Riddhu, dad called, the engagement has been set for tomorrow, along wid Rahul n Muskaan, amazing na?"

That was the last of Armaan what Riddhima saw. After that scene, she searched for him, actually, her eyes searched for him, but he was nowhere. She had gone through the garden the rooms, everywhere. It seemed that he had left the party. At first, it seemed strange to Riddhima, but then realisation hit her, Abhi's words repeated in her ears. Armaan thought she was getting engaged to Abhi, but why was he effected? To an outsider, Riddhima wud look either a very intelligent girl, who wanted to ignore the fact that Armaan was hurt as he loved her, or she was very naive, for not understanding his love. But here, the case was none, Riddhima was just confused. As much as her heart wanted to trust that Armaan loved her, so much the same it denied his love for her, coz she had mistaken his friendship even the last time. Perhaps, Armaan was again just being friends, and Riddhima was again mistaking it for love, actually hoping, that it is love. With all these thoughts in mind, Riddhima left the party and hit off the bed in her small n sweet home, alone, except for Jack and Mack in the opposite part of the home.

Armaan was shattered, or wud broken be a better word? The news of Riddhima getting engaged to Modi had hit him hard, like a tight slap on face, like a hard punch in stomach, like a sharp knife in heart, piercing deep n deep down. The moment the words were out of Modi's mouth, Armaan had left the party. He had kept on moving aimlessly on the road, thinking only about Riddhima. All the memories of the happy times with her, came flooding to him. Their fun times at the school, the ISA party, Chhoti Maa's b'day party, the match in the park, their first day at office, his next day almost without her, her mischievious smile when Armaan explained the 8 thingy to Jennifer, and the smile on her face when she praised the parathas, the time he'd just spent with her on the dance floor, he became nostalgic. He cudnt take it any more, n fell on his knees on the road itself, n screamed.

"Why God, why is this happening with me, what wrong have i done? I agree i was wrong with Riddhima in the past, but that was only becoz i was jealous of seeing her with Rahul, and the others. She was closer to everyone, except me. If i was impulsive in my decisions, it wasnt my mistake. I am only what u hav made me, n now, when i know i love her, and i cant live without her, then u take her away from me. If u had to take her, then why did u bring her back. I cud've survived had she not entered my life again. I know i wudnt have lived, coz it was only with her that i had actually lived my life, but i wud've survived atleast. Now, my life is worse, i cant even survive, she's taken my everything wid her, everything. Why me God, WHY?"

He didnt know for how long he sat tht way, it was only when he received a message from Atul (stating tht u go home, i wanna spend some more time wid Anjali), tht he got up, n again started walking, but this time, he reached his home. Everyone was sleeping, he used the spare key to enter, n went straight off to his room. He didnt know when sleep had conquered him as he lay watching Riddhima's pictures.

Hitting the bed, it was easier said than done. Though Riddhima had come back home, but sleep did not come to her. She knew something bad had happened, her heart cud feel it. But she had no idea what, except tht it shud not be happening. Her heart was restless, and it bothered her. Had she known what was wrong, she wud've sorted it out immediately, but she had no clue why was she feeling like this.

***************************************

The night had been a havoc, both for Armaan as well as Riddhima. Riddhima had a sleepless night, but the clock told her tht it was time for work. Nikki's sudden engagement confused everything, n it was decided tht the engagement of both couples wud be held at the 'Gupta Mansion'. She got up early, n the preparations took away her whole day. She was not given a chance to remember Armaan due to the exhaustion tht overpowered her.

****************************************

The day had gone very bad for Armaan, since it was an off at the office, so he was allowed to stay upto late in his bed. Everyone was busy wid the preparations, and thankfully, this did not give any one a chance to see him in the miserable state. He had informed the cook to bring food to his room, which he had quietly passed on to a beggar he had seen outside his house. Armaan did not know what to do, he kept sitting for a long time and staring in space. Finally, he knew what to do, he went to Chhoti Maa, he had ben informed tht she was home. He went to her room, and knocked,

"Areh Maani, kahaan hai tu, dikha hi nahi subah se, but galti teri bhi nahi hai, i have not been home na. Achcha chhod, now tell me, in dono mein se kaun sa zaada sundar hai, i want to gift one of these sets to Muskaan. I think red wala achcha hai, but blue is better, haina? But on other thoughts, this diamond one..."

"Chhoti Maa, i am not coming for the engagement"

Saying this, he walked from the room, leaving a shocked Nandini behind.

*****************************************

He is at the club, again, practising tennis, with a ball, and his object of pity is the wall infront of him, which is suffering due to his emotions at war. He remembered the event that had happened some time earlier, he had made a decision. He would go to the engagement, no matter what happened. Riddhima loved him, n only him, and he wudnt let her ruin 3 lives, hers, Modi's, n his. He will claim his love, even if he had to go n ask her in front of everyone, but he wud make sure she was his. But, it wudnt be a good idea, if she was already prepared for his arrival, so he had thought he wud tell Nandini tht he wasnt coming, Riddhima wud know of it. Then, his sudden arrival wud take her offguard, n she wud have to admit her love to him. It was high time he took things in his hands, he had to claim back his love, his Riddhima, she was only his, Armaan Mallik's, no one else's. No one cud come in their way, not the rituals of the society, not their families, not Riddhima herself, not her indifferent feelings, and, not even God.

*******************************************

Flashback:

"Chhoti Maa, i am not coming to the engagement"

He walked from the room, only to be stopped by a running Nandini who had come behind him.

"Par, hua kya Maani, why dont u wanna come"

"Chhoti Maa, how can u even ask this question, i mean, u know na that i love Riddhima, aur phir bhi aap ye pooch rahi ho"

"Exactly my point Maani, u love Riddhima, rite, n u need to impress Shashank Jiju for tht, n missing her elder daughter's engagement is certainly no way to impress him. I dont think Riddhima wud like it much that u miss her sister's n her best friend's engagement"

"NIKKI?"

"I know her name is Nikki, u dont need to yell that to me"

"Chhoti Maa, u mean Nikki is getting engaged to Modi, Nikki is gonna be Mrs Abhimanyu Modi, hurray"

"Areh, Nikki nahi to kya Riddhima is getting engaged to Abhimanyu, Armaan, tu bhi na!"

"Chhoti Maa, u dont know, i mean u dont realise, anyways, chhodo, hurray hurray hurray, yippee, yippee, yippee"

"But Maani, why dont u wanna come, plz tell me na", Nandini was concerned abt the sudden shouting and singing Armaan, is he in his right mind, he's not unwell na,

"WHAT, who said i am not coming, it is my only brother's engagement, n u expect me to miss it. Chhoti Maa, aapki tabiyat to theek hai na, maybe its the exertion due to the preparations, take rest, anyways, see u at night, party se pehle, be ready on time, ok, i dont want to be late, after all ladke walon ki reputation ka sawaal hai"

Armaan walked away happily, while Nandini was left to herself.

"Maani sahi keh raha hai, i must be really tired after all this, i guess i need to rest"

*********************************************

Now he was here, happily angry. Happy to know tht Abhimanyu was Riddhima's brother-in-law. On second thoughts, Armaan thought tht he was not tht bad. Armaan now saw a protective brother in him, and he did not mind it. He was angry, for again being impulsive, and thinking wrong things. He cud've avoided all the misery he had gone from last night uptil now, just had he been a little patient. But now, things were changing, Armaan cud be the most patient man, he had all the time in the world. Riddhima was going nowhere, and he had to be very careful in his further plans, he cud not afford any mistake this time.

"Riddhima, i am coming, to u, to claim u back in my life, i love u, and u love me, i know this, its just u who needs to know this, just wait n watch"

hey sweetyyy
