Part 2
They drive a little distance away from the college but get stuck in the traffic as the streets are flooded and the roads are blocked.
Armaan: Lagta hain bhagwaan koh bhi yahin manzoor hai ki hum aaur waqt bitaye(Riddhima blushes N he sees that' he smiles) Aisa karte hain main yahin kahi park karta hoon so that I can come and pick it up tomorrow phir hum paidal chalet hain cuz we can still walk though the water just not drive.(She agrees)
Armaan takes his car back before it be jammed with the ncoming traffic and drives into a gully and parks his car there. He says to Riddhima: Tum yahin thehro .. I will just be back'
Saying so he leaves. Riddhima wonders where did he go leaving her all alone'.She waits for like 10 minutes and then she sees him coming through the rearview of the car'He comes to Riddhimas side window and slowly opens the door and asks her to come out'She is all ready to be wet in the rain but as she comes out she does not even feel a drop on her body. She glances at him hlding something in his hand and then she looks up' He had gone to get an umbrella so she would not get wet but in that process he got all wet. She says, "Aur Tum" Armaan justs drops his shoulder saying, "Tum safe ho toh main bhi safe hoon." She smiles and says, "Par aise toh tumhe sardi ho jayegi aur in two weeks hamare exams bhi toh hain.. I don't want you to fall sick n miss your exams.." Armaan just keeps glancing at her' He was loving her care toward him all the more. She says, " Mujhe pura chata nahin cahihye ..we can share the umbrella' u know'" He laughs and says ok' and comes close to her because they have to walk in the same umbrella the closeness shows'. He closes the car door locks it and then says, "Chale" Riddhima nods and they start walking amidst all the water flowing through their feet.
They were walking and her sandals got stuck, she was about to trip when he caught hold of her hand and she stumbled from falling. He said, "Are you ok?" She nodded a yes and they started walking but he did not loosen the grip on her hand.
While walking Armaan asked, "Tum khush ho na Riddhima?"
Riddhima looks at him smiles and says, "Tumhe kya lagta hain Armaan?"
Armaan decides to play around with her and her says, "Mujhe lagta hai Riddhima ki tumhe main bohot pasand hoon. After all meri personality aisi hain ki sab mujhse pyaar karte hain."
Riddhima smiles and says, " Nahin toh tumse kisne kaha ki tum mujhe pasand ho?"
Armaan says, " Kaha kisine. Jo mere dil ke bohot kareeb hain."
Riddhima says, " Jhoot kaha hoga main toh bus aik hi insaan se pyaar karti hoon."
Armaan, " Aur who kaun hain?"
Riddhima halts Ans So Armaan halts after her, "Kya hua Riddhima?"
She comes more close to him and says right in his ear, " Us insaan ka naam hai''''..Dr. Shashank Gupta''" and saying that she runs out of the Umbrella away from his grip into the rain with the raindrop falling on her and Armaan falling for her even more''
Armaan smiles and runs after her, "jhooti."
He finally catches hold of her after they run a bit and both of them are drenched in the rain. Gradually they realize that they are one block away from Riddhima's house. Riddhima looks at him. He looks at her. In this they forget to open the umbrella. Armaan takes her into a corner under the shade of a tree where no one can see them, hold her hand and asks her, "saach bolo Riddhima." She just looks at him, in his blue eyes, water trickling through his face. She says nothing. He brings her hand to his heart, " aur ab". Riddhima senses his heartbeat which was loudly saying Riddhima Riddhima. She could say nothing. She kept staring at the grip of his hand on hers near his heart. He didn't move now did his eyes. She gradually mustered the courage and he sensed it too, she moved her hand that was in his and tightened her grip on his hand. He let her take charge of the movement. Slowly she moved the hand so that his hand was facing hers and brought it closer to her lips. He just kept staring at her without emoting anything but when she looked into his eyes they showed the tornado of emotions in his eyes. She kissed the back of his hand and blushed and tried to look away. He smiled... she wanted to loosen the grip but he didn't let her. He brought her hand closer to his lips and kissed them'. She blushed again'.He gradually loosened his grip on her and instead gently touched her stomach and brought her closer to him. Scared she shut her eyes[ the typical AR moment] He sensed the tiff in her emotions but he brushed on. He kept looking at her beautiful face which now looked like a newly blossomed flower with the first rain drops on it'.and moved forward'' As if by instinct his eyes closed but their lips inched forward until they were just few paces away. They could sense each others breath. They stay in the moment for a while neither kissing now moving back. Then Armaan opened his eyes' and saw Riddhima the closest he ever had. A smile passed his lips that although she was afraid of the moment she went on for his sake'..He backed off a little and said, " Riddhima, aankhen kholo." She gradually opened her eyes and realized that he had taken no undue advantage, not even forced her for anything' He smiled and said, " I love you with all my heart, just never realized that the love I was looking for was right in front of me and I wan't it all to be beautiful between us. We won't move on until you are ready."
She wanted to smile but hesitated, " I am ready Armaan for our relationship." He smiled and came close to her lips.. She blushed and reddened, he touched her face to move her hair behind her ear'.N that touch sent a thousand emotions through her'He smiled, " I know you are but we should still move at our own pace." She realized he sensed her uneasiness and therefore didn't say anything. He gradually moved back and was about to loosen his grip on her hand when she kissed him on his cheek. He was surprised, and taken aback, and then he just smiled.
He said, "Riddhima did you just do what I just felt." She smiled he smiled and finally they started walking towards her house.
