In your Arms (by: Ankita.M)
Riddhima woke up to the morning sun piercing her eye ,she didn't want to let go her beauty sleep, BUT 'Sanjeevani' she reminded herself.Riddhima hadn't been doing really well the past few days ,viral fever and infection had tied her down to the house,she didn't have the strength to even get off the bed.But she didn't ever have to worry over a single thing. All this while Armaan was with her like a pillar of strength,he took care of her and never left her side.Infact he took over the entire charge of the household chores too and saw to it that Riddhima didn't have to even lift a finger .He would call her a zillion of times from Sanjeevani to see to it that she was taking her medicines and food properly and they would chat away sweet nothings.Riddhima didnt like it that she had to stay away from Armaan for so long ,she loved it when he was around her fussing over her food and medicines taking so much care of her and pampering her,making her feel like a princess,sometimes his concern bought tears to her eyes.
All these days from Sanjeevani had lead to a lot of pending workload and now that she had been recovering Dr Keerti had called her back to work ,since there was too much work left to be done.Just then Armaan entered the room with a tray loaded with her favourite breakfast all made by him itself.He saw her lazing around the bed with a slight smile on her face but yet in deep thought.He went over to her kept the tray aside and sat besides her ,slightly caressing her hair
A :Goodmorning sweetheart !
R:Goodmorning Armaan ,she gave her his widest smile which made him smile too,he bend over almost lying over her and took her into a deep embrace, something he did everyday.They hugged each other tight ,for long.Armaan kissed her hair and got out of the hug ,moved her hair away from her forehead and kissed it deeply .
A:Love you Basket
R:Love you too my Pumpkin !
A:Ab kaisa feel kar rahi ho !! He touched her forehead ,"hmm fever toh nahi hai ab ,you're fine right?"
Riddhima smiled at his worked up expression and replied "Ha baba mai bilkul teekh hun am ok I feel weak though"
A:Obviously you would ,theek se khati bhi nahi ho ,kitna fuss karti ho !
R:Armaan she wacked him "mai kab fuss karti hun jabse ghar pe hun you've been feeding me all day am worried I seem to have put on so much weight"
A:Shut up ! Kuch khati nahi ho ,you just don take care of yourself ,I have to pester you to eat your meals!Anyways enough of this discussion ab chalo be a good girl and finish off the breakfast!
R:Armaan !! no breakfast mujhe bhook nahi hai ,I don't feel like it !
A:Basket you have to eat warna medicine kaise logi !
R:Armaan kaha na I am not hungry please don't force me !
She saw Armaans face go low ,just then her eyes fell on the plate which had her favourite Aloo ka parathas in the most absurd shape ever ,her usual cold coffee and a rose bud lying next to it.Seeing this she realized that Armaan had made all of this for her ,she was surprised and looked at him, he was looking away disappointed she smirked and made him face towards her and looked into his eyes ,and her answer lied there.She was touched and decided that she would eat no matter what ,she would eat it for him.
R:Acha Armaan ab naaraz mat ho mai kha rahi hun na ! Par ek shart par ,tumhe mujhe khilana hoga.
That was enough to bring back the smile on his face and he started feeding her the breakfast which he had prepared with a lot of effort ,messing himself and the kitchen too.To her and even Armaans surprise Riddhima who was not hungry at all was devouring the parathas and had up all of it in minutes.Armaan just looked onto her while she was sipping her coffee,she looked up at him and grinned back with all the coffee smothered around her lips.Armaan looked onto his cute innocent Riddhima and on an impulse went ahead and took her into a kiss,when they both got out of the kiss Riddhima was blushing red,Armaan chuckled looking at her and took her into a hug and they cuddled to each other.Riddhima didn't feel like going to the hospital ,she was weak but more then that she wanted to remain like this in Armaans arms,get pampered and loved by him.But she had to go so she got up with a sullen, low mood to leave for work .Armaan knew how she felt but he could do nothing ,going to work was necessary ,if she delayed any further she would have more work to handle later !
Riddhima resumed work ,she hadn't expected that not coming to the hospital for a few days would cost her this much .She was piled with work ,many a times she would have to stay back in the hospital all night.All day she was either in the wards or in the OT and when she was free from there she had paper work to manage too.Armaans schedule was hectic as well and this left no time for them to be with each other. Armaan and Riddhima both longed to be with each other it had been days they had even spoken at ease or for that matter even been together.Armaan tried to adjust his timings with her so that they could atleast manage to eat a meal together but that rarely worked. Armaan was really worried for Riddhimas health ,she had just recovered from a severe viral infection and was very weak .Riddhima was also getting cranky she wasn't totally fine and all the work and no Armaan made life miserable for her .They were together for not more then a few hours in the morning when Armaan would be getting ready to leave and Riddhima would come back just then from Sanjeevani.
One such Armaan was getting ready and Riddhima walked in ,tired and totally drained.She just threw her bag away and slumped on the bed.Armaan was estatic to see her but very concerned see her this tired.He went and sat next to her ,put his hand at the back of her head and started to massage it ,trying to sooth her and ease her of the exhaustion.Riddhima at once felt a lot better ,not only because of the massage but because it was HER Armaans touch .She leaned onto him and they stayed like this for a while.Finally Armaan broke the silence ,"Kya hua basket ,everythings ok na ?" Riddhima just replied by a nod and hugged Armaan cuddling upto him .Armaan hugged her back as tightly as he could ,he knew this made her feel better.Suddenly he could feel something warm on his kneck ,at once he knew that this were Riddhima tears .He tried to get out of the hug but Riddhima wouldn't leave him,so Armaan stayed like this and hugged her back with all the warmth, caressing her back and mumbling a 'sussh' every now and then, trying to calm her.Slowly she herself got out of the hug ,Armaan cupped her face and looked at her closely with all the concern ,wiped the tears running all over her face and with one thumb caressing her face ,asked "What happened sweetheart? Why are you crying ? "Riddhima just nodded negatively ,Armaan was really concerned ,"Kya hua basket ha? Tabiyat theek nahi hai?" she nodded in a no again ,"toh phir kissi ne kuch kaha ,kuch hua kya",Riddhima looked at his eyes full of concern and said "Nahi Armaan aisa kuch nahi hua,its just that so much work is getting onto me,and that's not even what bothers me, par itne din ho gaye I haven't had the chance to even talk to you for a minute at ease,its been days we even had a meal together or hugged each other for more then a few seconds.I miss being with you Armaan I miss being 'In your arms'.Armaan smiled slightly and took her into an embrace again he knew all the work and her weakness had made her all cranky and not having each other around made it worse.Riddhima at the same time was very agitated she had just come to know that she had a surgery at night which would cross midnight but it was her birthday the next day and she wanted to spend the first moment of her birthday with him .
Armaan hugged her and slowly leaned over the bed post ,he took her onto his lap and caressed her hair and rocked her like a little baby putting her to sleep trying to take away all the pain and exhaustion from her .After some time Armaan looked down to see a much calmer Riddhima sleeping in his arms.She looked like a baby Armaan kissed her on the forehead and slowly put her down on the bed and slightly pecked her on the lips.He was about to leave when her pager beeped it was a reminder of the surgery scheduled that night and at once Armaan realized why Riddhima was more upset then ever today.He knew she wanted to celebrate her bday with him .Armaan smiled to himself thinking of how Riddhima was such a baby, HIS baby .He promised himself that she would spend every moment of her b'day with him .
Riddhima woke up a few hours later ,she tried to search Armaan In a daze but realized he must have left for work .She saw a letter and and a rose lying next to her,the letter said "Hey basket! I don't know when we'll meet throughout the day I just wanted to tell you that I know my basket is stronger then I think and she's going to manage it all ,all with a smile on her face ,the smile I live for .Best of luck for your surgery and the day,oh and how can I forget ''Love you sweetheart !" By the end of the letter Riddhima was smiling and was rejuvenated once again all because of her Armaan ! She thanked the lord above for such a wonderful gift life had given her,her Armaan.
The day went away in a rush with both busy in work .Finally it was time for the surgery.It was 11 and Riddhima was preparing herself for the surgery ,she looked at the watch sad and disappointed ,looked at her cell but there was no message from Armaan too.She had last met him during lunch when they just about eat a few morsels together when Armaan had to leave for an emergency. At 11 30 Riddhima entered the OT she wanted to spend time with Armaan tonight but work is important she consoled herself.There was just 10 more minutes for 12 ,the surgery was about to begin the doctors and the assisting interns walked in.The doctor who was going to do the surgery with her came and stood next to her ,she turned to look at him and their eyes met ,what Riddhima saw surprised her to no end the eyes she was looking into were the ones she looked into every morning ,the doctor was none other then her Armaan. Armaan winked at her and Riddhima was on top of the world ,she was so touched her eyes shined with tears,she was finally going to spend the start of her birthday with Armaan. The surgery was to start in another 10 min and the clock struck 12 ,suddenly an instrument fell due to Armaans push and Riddhima bend to pick it up ,there she found a rose with a card saying 'Happy Birthday Princess" lying over there .She picked it knowing very well who had done this ,she looked at Armaan who looked back at her and winked again and this time Riddhima winked back again taking Armaan by surprise.
They continued with the surgery and it went really well. Riddhima was just carrying out the post operation procedure.After she was done she set out to see where Armaan was,suddenly her pager beeped it was Armaan calling her in the parking lot .
Riddhima moved down to the parking lot where she found Armaan sitting on his bike.
R:Armaan ? Yaha kyun bulaya ?
A:Sshh ! (He pulled her towards him with a jerk put his hand around her waist ) Kyun birthday girl birthday celebrate nahi karna ?
10 minutes later Armaans bike was racing on the road with Riddhima's arms around him resting her head on his back and speaking nothing.Riddhima knew Armaan was doing this just for her he knew she loved going for a drive on his bike when she was tired ,needed to get calm and relax, he knew her so well.Suddenly Armaan stopped the bike,"Armaan bike kyun rok di ? " "Basket bike rok di kyunki jaha hume aana tha hum waha aa gaye " Riddhima looked around to see that they had reached the beach .Armaan forwarded his hand to Riddhima who smiled and put her hand in his and they walked down the beach. Riddhima was leaning on his shoulder and his arms were around her waist,they were walking in silence enjoying the breeze and the sound of the waves clashing against the shore. They stopped at one place Riddhima was facing the sea with closed eyes a peaceful look on her face. Armaan looked at her and couldn't take his eyes of her ,she looked so beautiful just like an angel ,his angel,his princess.After sometime Riddhima opened her eyes but was surprised to find Armaan missing .She looked around to search for him and when she turned around she looked at him with surprise.There was a mat spread out below with a cake in the centre brightly lit with candles. Armaan led her to the cake and signaled her to cut it ,Riddhima took his hand in his and bend forward to cut the cake .The fed each other cake after which Armaan bend and took Riddhima into a kiss,Riddhima responded with equal fervour ,they kissed each other to no end.
Armaan backed out and whispered slightly "Happy birthday sweetheart" ,Riddhima blushed and took Armaan into a rib crashing hug .A few minutes later Armaan and Riddhima were lying on the beach ,on the cool sand cuddling each other in a tight embrace with Riddhima's head on his chest and his wrapped around her,looking at the vast sky above them .They said nothing all this time neither did Riddhima thank him nor did Armaan say anything further,but their silence spoke a zillion words, they could hear each others heartbeats professing the unending love they had for each other.
Riddhima was deeply touched that even though Armaan had done nothing extravegent he had made her birthday the most memorable one.He knew she was tired,he knew she didn't want to be somewhere where she couldn't even hear herself,he knew she was agitated and needed to be calmed. he knew she wanted to be in peace WITH him.And he had done all he could to fulfill her every wish of being with him in his arms.Armaan broke the silence "Riddhima I am sorry mai tumhare liye kuch zyaada nahi kar paya but we'll have a big celebration .." Riddhima interrupted and said "Who said this isn't special Armaan ,this is the best birthday I have ever had ,jaha mera Armaan mere bin bole hee meri har baat samajh jaata hai and fulfills my every at the blink of an eye ,how more special can it get ?" Armaan looked at her smiling he was touched by what she said and he kissed her templem his lips lingering there for a long time.
"Aur vaise bhi Armaan you've made my birthday the most special today ,by fulfilling my wish of living each moment of it with you ,my wish of having you wish me first and my wish of being "IN YOUR ARMS"
Destiny's Plan (by cute_trisha)
"God this damn car!Isse bhi band hona tha..Is sum sam raaste pe..Raat ke 11 baj rahe hai..Mom is gonna kill me now..Mere late nights toh band.." Riddhima cribbed and hit the car with the her leg and hurt her self instead "Owww…stupid car!..Yaha toh lift bhi nahi milegi..aur milegi toh koi hoga stupid sa banda jisse sirf ladkiyo mai sirf ek hi cheez dekhti hai..." She made a face..and sat in her car..praying to god to start her car.."Bhagwaan ke naam pe chalu hoja pleasseee…" she prayed for one last time but no luck.."STUPID CAR!Aise time pe band hoti hai DUMMMZIEEE!!" Riddhima yelled…
A car passing by stopped and a handsome guy stepped out of the car "Need help??"…Riddhima looked at him and thought "Kya karu help mangu??Dekhne mai toh theek thaak lagta hai..acche khandhan ka lagta hai..chal mang hi leti hu".."Well ya..meri gadi kharab ho gayi hai"..He stepped forward " Cool..so may I repair it?" "Yeah sure!"Riddhima agreed..The guy opened the bumper of the car and thought "Cool Armaan ab tu gaadi theek kar raha hai"…Riddhima stood beside him and said "You know I was so scared ki muje ek mechanic nahi milega itni raat ko kaunsa mechanic ata hai but I was wrong tum kaafi dedicated mechanic ho" Armaan looked astonished and said "Mai tumhe mechanic dikhata hu?Listen up girl ek sports car chalane wala mechanic ho sakta hai?" "I'm sorry..par jo madat charna chahta hai normally gives a lift you know"..Armaan proudly said "Well I'm different you see..Jo log karte hai vo mai nahi karta..mai kaam apne tareeke se karta hu and if you don't mind kya ap bina bole kuch der reh sakti hai" Riddhima got offended and said "Listen car theek kar ke koi ehsaan nahi kar rahe ho..you can leave if you want to"
"Chill girl…raat ke 11 baj rahe hai and this is area is not safe..kaafi rape cases yehi hue hai.." Riddhima looked scared after hearing the rape cases "Arey itna mat daro mai hu na..I know kick boxing..okay so smile.." Riddhima hesitantly smiled..She stood their silently until Armaan asked "Do you have a coolent?" "What?" "Gaadi garam ho gayi hai do you have coolent??" ..Riddhima went and checked in her car and found no coolent there.."Nahi hai"..Armaan held his head and said "Good Lord!Female drivers..so expected it from you!Tum ladkiya bhi na coolent toh rakhna chahiye..par nahi rakhte hi nahi hai..useless man!"
Armaan got the coolent from his car and poured it in the tube of the coolent "Oye!I'll pay the money back to you okay..aur toh kya hua mere pass coolent nahi hai toh pani toh haina"...Armaan sarcastically said "Paani hai toh kya hua!"…Riddhima with her head held high said "Mr..paani bhi ek type ka coolent hota hai.."…"What bu..oh yah sorry" Armaan said and without even giving a second glance to Riddhima he started working on the car..and muttered to himself "Ban gaya na hero se zero..duffer hai tu..itni acchi life saver ki reputation banayi thi..bigaad gayi.." Riddhima heard it and started laughing and said "Come on tumhari reputation nahi gayi hai I'm still thankful to you for repairing my car..".."Errmm..Yeah ." an embaressed Armaan said
Suddenly Armaan felt water droplets on his head..He look at the sky and cribbed "No way man!Baarish hone wali hai"...Riddhima looked up and said "Wow!I love rains!!!They're so romantic and exciting!".Armaan looked at Riddhima and said "Tumhare liye romantic hogi,,par mai toh phas gaya na..meri gaadi ka bonnet nahi hai...kya karoon.."
Before Armaan could think of some thing it started raining heavily..Riddhima closed the bumper and rushed inside her car she saw Armaan going back to his car.."Shit!Ab ye ja raha hai..God isi time pe bearish honi thi..ab mai kya karoongi..arey ye gaadi chala kyu nahi raha..5 min ho gaye ja hi nahi raha..I'll need to find out"..Riddhima got out of her car and went and stood near the door of Armaan's car "Tum ja kyu nahi rahe ho?Baarish ho rahi hai " Riddhima said in a loud voice.."Tumhari gaadi theek karni hai…jab baarish band hi jayegi tab I'll continue with the repairing.."
Riddhima was in awe of Armaan..She never thought a guy could be so sweet and helpful.She thought all the people in the world were greedy and selfish but this guy proved her wrong..he was waiting in the rain to repair a stranger's car..Riddhima started respecting Armaan..On the other hand Armaan was having a hard time not looking at Riddhima..She looked gorgeous and beautiful..She had worn a red suit and looked ravishing..and with the rain her well maintained body was showing off..He couldn't deny it he was attracted to her..
"You come in my car..Tumhe thand lag jayegi aur baarish rukne ka naam nahi le rahi hai please chalo.." Riddhima requested "Arey no no it's fine..tum apni gaadi mai jao" Armaan said "Maine kaha na meri gaadi mai..You HAVE to come get that straight in your mind Mr!" Riddhima ordered…Armaan held his hands high and said "Okay Okay..as you wish madame..but hey I'm warning you I'm quite dangerous hah" He gave his evil smile.."Chill out!Mai ladko ko handle karna janti hu"..
Riddhima didn't know why but her heart trusted that guy and felt the guy wouldn't misbehave with her..Armaan got up and sat in Riddhima's car.."So tum kya karte ho?" Riddhima asked trying to start a conversation.."I'm a doctor.."..Riddhima gave a huge smile and said "I'm a doc too!"…"That's nice..kaunse hospital mai?".."Sanjeevani.."
Armaan looked impressed and said "Wow!That's a reputed hospital..I work in Sahara…" Riddhima switched on the radio and said "Hmm..that's a nice hospital too..I wanted ti get into that hospital but I couldn't get into that hospital"…Armaan looked outside the window and replied.."Yeah..It was quite tough to get into Sahara.."
Bheegi Si Bhaagi Si..was playing on the radio..Armaan secretly looked at Riddhima drying her wet hair..She looked like an angel..He chuckled when her all messed up and she was trying her best to sort it out..She looked so cute when she was irritated..She had a slight frown on her face..Riddhima suddenly looked at Armaan as she felt she was seeing her..Armaan looked down..He was caught staring at her..He didn't have words to say..
By god's grace it stopped raining..and Armaan got out of the car and said "Baarish ruk gayi hai..I'll fix the car."..He started fixing the car while Riddhima was feeling awkard.She didn't know why but she liked that the Armaan staring was staring at her..If it would have been some one else she would have whacked him but when Armaan saw her she blushed slightly..Armaan's shirt got wet and it was transparent..His well built body and his tattoo's were seen by Riddhima..
"Gaadi theek ho gayi..Try starting it…"..Armaan said not looking at Riddhima..Riddhima started the car and it started..She felt slightly sad..She didn't want to leave Armaan....She saw Armaan sitting in his car.."Hey!!Thanks a lot!"..Riddhima screamt..Armaan smiled and started his own car..
Riddhima realized that she didn't ask his name and screamt "Apna naam toh batao!" but it was too late Armaan had already left.."Damn man!Mai bhi ajeeb hu..jabhi kisi se milti hu sabse phele uska naam puchti hu pata nahi aja kya hua muje.." Riddhima remembered how she liked Armaan staring at her.."Bhool ja usse Riddhima ab vo tuje nahi milega.." Riddhima sadly said..She started her car and left for her house
*-* *-* *-* *-* *-* *-* *-*
There was a lot of rush in Riddhima's house..A guy was coming to see her for marriage..Before meeting Armaan Riddhima was quite excited to the guy her mum had chosen but after meeting Armaan..She didn't want to see that guy any more all she would remember was the hot guy she met last night.His sweet smile his helping nature was all she thought about all night
"Riddhima ladke wale agaye hai..Are you ready?" Asked Padma..Riddhima nodded ans said "Mum mai neeche nahi ane wali..the guy will come here in the room.." Padma was shocked at Riddhima's demand but she agreed to it..Before Padma could go Riddhima asked the guy's name and Padma replied "Armaan" She sent the Armaan up to the room..
There was a knock on the door..Riddhima bit her tongue and thought "Okay Ridz..vo Armaan agaya hai..stop thinking about that guy you met last night.."..She looked at herself in the mirror and said "Come in"
Armaan entered he was confused when Padma told him to go upstairs..He wanted to the girl that he couldn't marry her as he liked the girl he met last night and would stalk the full Sanjeevani to find her..
"Erm..Riddhima right.." Riddhima didn't respond so he continued "Look I really can't marry you..I like some one else.."…On the other hand Riddhima thought she had gone crazy "Get a grip on yourself Riddhima ab uski awaaz bhi sunai de rahi hai tuje!But wait what he just say he can't marry me.Yeah!Muje kuch karna hi nahi pada"..
She turned around to thank Armaan..She turned and she wasn't able to speak a word..She saw the guy she met last night..the only thing she could say was "Tum??" and she heard Armaan say the same thing..
Armaan came forward and said "Can you do me a favour?" Riddhima nodded.."Please pinch me.." Riddhima did what she was told..she gently pinched Armaan.."It's not my dream!" Armaan blurted.."What?"..A confused Riddhima asked.."Nothing..nothing" Armaan looked down and was smiling away happily
Riddhima was happy to see the guy she met last night that was Armaan but what made her sad was he liked another girl so he didn't like her..The feelings were just one sided…She felt sad and she thanked him again for repairing her car last night.."So you're Dr Armaan huh?" Riddhima said trying to sound happy .. "Yeah!" Armaan said.."Well I'll tell mom I can't marry you..I'll make up some thing" Riddhima said.."No!You don't need to do that I'm fine with this marriage"..Armaan answered immediately…"Pagal hai kya ye?Abhi toh bola ki I can marry you aur ab bol raha hai I have no problem.." Riddhima thought.."Voh actually vo mai mazaak kar raha tha.." Armaan said trying to make some sense.."Okaayy…" Riddhima said still not satisfied with his answer..
"Do you like some one?" Armaan asked curiously..Riddhima looked down and mumbled a yes..Armaan's heart sank and unwillingly he asked "Who"..Riddhima naughtily looked up and saw Armaan and said "YOU!"..
The minute she said 'you' Armaan was well shocked and the next second Armaan hugged her tight and Riddhima realized that Armaan liked her too..Riddhima's heart was dancing..She felt happy…Armaan broke the hug and said "I like you too!"…"I know that duffer!" Riddhima said..Armaan looked confused and asked "How?"..Riddhima hit his forehead lightly and said "You just hugged me..Isn't that supposed to mean you like me?" Armaan looked embaressed for his own stupidity..and said "Can I tell you some thing?"..Riddhima asked him to continue..
Armaan sheepishly said "Actually you know I waited in the rain yesterday to repair your car?" Riddhima smiled and said "Yeah!I was so touched at that gesture..".."Well I waited cause I liked you and I wanted to spend more time with you.Koi aur hota then I guess I would have left"
Riddhima was astonished and said "Gosh!And I thought you were so helpful and all that..but you…" Armaan came closer to me and said "Me what huh?Don't forget you like me and I'm your to-be hubby" "Yeah Yeah!" Riddhima said.."Eyyy don't say that huh..Please" Armaan had a hurt look on his face and Riddhima couldn't bear that "You know what you should smile..I like your dimples.." Armaan smiled and said "Really?" Riddhima kissed his cheek and said "Yesh!"
Armaan engulfed her in a passionate hug..Both of them were really happy to spend their life with each other..
