I wrote an short story on AR! Hope you guys like it:
Part 1
Riddhima ran out of Sanjeevani, it was past midnight and she had just finished a surgery, all she wanted to do was go home and relax! Her home: Shashank's house!
'I'm only restless because the surgery was very important and I've got a few records that need updating, ofcourse nothing esle is bothering me'... she said to herself! 'Armaan has nothing to do with it, he's leaving today so WHAT?... It doesn't affect me... nothing affects me, he left me once before now he's leaving again... I'm fine on my own'... she chanted to herself!
Riddhima stood for a few moments at the entrance of Sanjeevani, looking at the rain drops infront of her. It was raining badly, she had no vehicle and not even an umberella. She stroked her arms and looked at the rain! They were filled with memories, memories of her life, her love: Armaan!
'NO NO NO, I'm NOT going to think about him, he doesn't deserve me! I'm fine on my own, let him leave, it doesn't affect me!' She screamed clenching her fists, pacing along the steps of Sanjeevani! With the frustration she ran out into the rain to catch a taxi home. The rain was getting heavier, Riddhima was already soaked, and all of the taxi's seem to have passengers. She finally saw a taxi in sight and approached the car, to her luck the taxi had a passenger and drove straight passed her leaving her drenched with mud, Riddhima fell to the ground with a thud. 'Arrrggghhh' she exclaimed in pain. Riddhima fell in an awful postion and had hurt her ankle, she tried getting up but she couldn't.
She sat there crying, why does life always take a 90 degree turn when she wants to continue living!
To her delight a car was approaching, it wasn't a taxt but a car, she had no choice but to ask for help... she screamed 'HELP! HELP! HELP!... Please HELP ME!' The car stopped at where she was blinding her with the headlights, she covered her eyes with her left arm, not making her eyes visible to the person approaching her. In a flash of a second, she was comfortably lifted into someone's strong arms, the head lights were still on her face so she couldn't see anything! The person walked to the passenger side of the car, the headlights were out of sight, only the inside light of the car was visible, Riddhima removed her arm from her face and looked up to her saviour! She was delighted to see Armaan, she immediately hugged him tight! 'Armaan' she gasped tightening her hold around his neck, caressing through his hair, tears slipped down her face soaking Armaan's already wet shirt.
Armaan was shocked at her moment of passion, but he knew she was just happy because he had come to help her not because she... Armaan gulped, he couldn't even think it straight... not because... she wanted him to stay with her and be apart of her life. Armaan sighed deeply. Armaan's sigh made Riddhima break her hug, coming back to reality. She didn't realise what had come upon her, she uncomfortably loosened her arms around his neck, though she wasn't able to move her eyes from his gaze. Armaan slowly opened the passenger door and placed her gently on the seat.
They finally arrived at the Gupta Mansion. Armaan opened the door for Riddhima, she was trying to get out of the car but she couldn't. Armaan couldn't see her struggle so he bent down and held her foot in his hands massaging it. Riddhima protested pulling her foot back. 'Let me see Riddhima' Armaan requested. Riddhima shook her head in disapproval. This made Armaan angry, he didn't like seeing her in pain. 'Armaan your getting wet, come inside the car, I'll go home! You get a cold quickly, your immune system is weak, please come inside the car' Riddhima requested. Armaan looked up meeting her gaze 'It's been so long Riddhima but you still remember everything about me, about my health... why Riddhima?' He questioned. Riddhima didn't answer. Armaan knew the answer, he even knew she wouldn't answer it, even if she wanted to, so he continued. ' You may remember everything about me, but you have certainly forgot something about us,' Riddhima looked up with a confused look... 'whenever you hurt your ankle, I've always been there to massage it for you, I've always made sure that your ankle is fine before you start walking again, and this time it's going to be no different, the only difference this time will be, it'll be for the last time!' Riddhima eyes filled with tears, she looked up at the ceiling of the car refusing to look into her eyes!
Armaan pulled her foot towards him, ignoring the several protests by her and massaged her foot. Riddhima finally got down from the car, but had trouble walking! She tripped, and was prepared to fall to the floor, closing her eyes, but only felt a strong force pulling her towards it. Riddhima crashed into Armaan's chest. She didn't need her eyes, she could just tell that it was Armaan! Riddhima grabbed his shirt into fists! They both were soaked from head to toe, Riddhima silently sobbed into his shirt, well he held her safely in an embrace. She didn't want him to know she was crying therefore quickly wiped her tears, but then again even if he did see it, it wouldn't make a difference as she should just clarify that it's the soaking raindrops.
Armaan carried her into the house, placing her safely in her bed. He walked over to her wardrobe in silence and removed a towel and the first aid box. He gave her the towel and told her to dry herself while he bandaged her foot. Armaan finally finished and got up to leave. This was the last time he was going to see Riddhima, as in a few hours he'd be away from her in a different country all together. He'd still love her memories, hoping she would have all the happiness in the world. He turned around to have one last look at her. He saw that Riddhima's eyes were filled in tears looking straight at him, he too couldn't move from her gaze. He finally managed to force himself, and he looked at the floor. ' Riddhima...' he looked up at her. 'I'm sorry for everything, for every time I've hurt you, for every tear I've given you. I never wanted things to end between us, I always thought that the only way Armaan and Riddhima could be apart from each other would be because of death, but here the story is completely different, I guess things don't always turn out to be the way we wish. I'm really unfornate that I've always wanted to see you happy, and yet today when I'm leaving forever, I see you in tears.' ... Tears slid down Riddhima's face uncontrollable, yet she was contained in her posture, transfixed on Armaan's gaze. 'Riddhima, I've always loved you, please don't think my love wasn't true or I betrayed you, I've always loved you, even when we were apart I always imagined you to be with me, whenever I missed you, I wrote what I wanted to tell you on a sticky note and hung it on the wall, thinking that it'll reach you! I may have been away from you in person for the last 6 months, but I've loved you every second' tears spilled out of Armaans eyes soaking his much soaked shirt even more, but his eyes were still gazed at Riddhima... 'and... ' he gulped'... 'I will always love you Riddhima... I always will... I love you Riddhima.' He turned around as his emotions were getting the most of him. He paced quickly out of the house into his car, and cried his hearts content there.
Riddhima, on the other hand, was hugging her knees and crying her eyes out. She always knew he loved her uncontrollably, she always knew that... yet she denied her feelings. She denied the fact that she didn't want him now, she didn't need him... yet the person she needed the most was Armaan. Why did things have to come to this point... Riddhima sobbed.
Armaan arrived at the airport, checked in his luggage and was just waiting for his flight to be called. He sat down in the waiting area thinking about what he said to Riddhima today, every word couldn't have been more true. All her memories flashed infront of his eyes. He took out his wallet and looked at her picture 'Riddhima... I don't want to go, I want to be with you, live with you, love you, just you, Riddhima. Please come Riddhima, please come and stop me... I can't live without you Riddhima... I love you Riddhima, I can't live without you!' Armaan soaked his visible cleavage with tears.
'What am I thinking, Riddhima will never come... she'll always love me, she'll always miss me, but she'll never come...not now anyways.' He wiped his tears as his flight is called. He takes one last longing look at the entrance. Disappointed, he picked up his coat and bag and made his way to the departure aisle.
Suddenly, he feels someone pulling his shirt at the shoulder. That person pulled him with such strength that made him turn around. He was shocked to see Riddhima there, but worse, the condition she was in. Her eyes were red with anger, her face were dripping with tears, her hair was wet from the rain, infact she was completely soaked.
Riddhima grabbed his collar and pulled him towards herself. 'HOW DARE YOU?... How dare you leave without me? How dare you even think about leaving me?' She shook him pulling his collar 'what do you think of yourself? You're going to go to America and stay there, away from me... and all the girls there are not going to hit on you! You dare even think about having another girl in your life... I swear I'll kill her!' Tears ran down Riddhima's face, Armaan was also crying yet he just stood there looking at Riddhima as she kept shaking him pulling his collar. 'You get that! You get THAT! You're mine, only mine' Riddhima broke into sobs wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him closer into her. Armaan tightened his hold on her waist and hugged her tight. His head on her shoulders, he kissed her shoulders through his tears. Riddhima clenched him tighter and closed her eyes at the touch of his lips on her skin. She whispered 'I love you Armaan, I love you'. Armaan loosened his hug and straightened up to look at her face. Both of their foreheads touched as they blinked their tears out of their eyes, smiling. 'I love you too, Riddhima, I love you'. Riddhima smiled through her tears, Armaan pulled her into another tight hug.
*LAST CALL FOR PASSENGERS TO AMERICA* -The announcement read! AR broke their hug and looked up at the screen, they smiled at one another, giving each other a semi hug. Armaan kissed her temple, while she laughed. 'I think it's late, I really need to get on this flight or it's going to leave me behind' Armaan teased, letting her loose. He walked towards to aisle, Riddhima grasped his hand and held him back, 'you're not going anywhere.' Riddhima smiled pulling him back towards her, Armaan captures her lips as their bodies met. Riddhima entangled arms around him and kissed him back passionately, manoeuvring her lips with his. Armaan departed his lips from hers and cupped her face 'Mrs Riddhima Armaan Malik, how does that sound?' He winked... 'PERFECT' exclaimed a smiling Riddhima hugging into him!
