OS # 7: A 'Sweet' Birthday?
(AR)
The Sun rose from the horizon, declaring to the world that it was morning time. The birds were chirping, singing in their melodious voices. The bright, warm rays entered a big room through the window, falling on her eyelids. She squeezed her eyes to prevent the rays from disturbing her sleep and turned to the other side, but found the same
disturbance there, too. Giving up, she sat up on the bed and stretched her arms.
disturbance there, too. Giving up, she sat up on the bed and stretched her arms.
Looking to her side, she saw the love of her life sleeping peacefully with a cute pout. She smiled at his cuteness and softly kissed his dimples. She stared at him for a while and was about to get up when she felt his hand gripping her wrist and pulling her back on the bed. She was startled to know that he was awake all this while.
"Wow. Someone's in a really romantic mood this morning." He whispered naughtily.
"Armaan? You're awake?"
"What does it look like?" She blushed seeing his eyes drop down to her lips.
"What does it look like?" She blushed seeing his eyes drop down to her lips.
"Leave me. I need to go get a shower."
"Only if you'd let me come with you." Her eyes widened at his suggestion.
"No ways Armaan! You're completely wild and uncontrollable in water. So don't even think about it!" She scolded him lovingly.
"Come on Riddhima! It's been a long time since we've had shower together." He whined making her heart melt, but she bit back the smile that was demanding to come forward.
"Armaan! No, means no! Now get off of me." He shook his head and she frowned.
"First give me a kiss."
"Armaan?" She looked at him in disbelief.
"What? I said give me a kiss."
"No kiss for you, now come on, get up." She pushed him half-heartedly, but he caught her hands and pinned them down on the pillow, entwining his fingers with hers. He shook his head, telling her not to stop him.
"Not so easily Mrs. Mallik. You have to give me a big kiss now."
An idea popped in Riddhima mind and she smiled at him. Armaan loosened his grip on her wrist and she raised her hand and closed his eyes. She kissed his eyes, nose, dimples, and finally stopped at his lips. She pressed her lips at the corner of his, making him lose all of his senses. She tilted her head and let her breath linger on his lips. Seeing him completely lost, she pushed him off of her and quickly ran to the bathroom. She stopped at the door and looked back.
"Not so easily Mr. Mallik." He was just staring at her in shock and she winked at him. Giggling at his expressions, she quickly got inside and closed the door, leaving Armaan smiling to himself and shaking his head.
"Crazy girl."
Very soon, Riddhima was downstairs in the kitchen, making breakfast for the two of them. She had a smile on her lips. The day had started off really nicely for her. She may deny it in front of Armaan, but his little antics always bring a smile to her face. They tell her how much he loves and cares about her. And today was a really special day for her. It was her birthday! Now the only thing she was waiting for was Armaan's gift. She knew
that Armaan would never forget her birthday. She closed her eyes and recalled her last birthday.
that Armaan would never forget her birthday. She closed her eyes and recalled her last birthday.
Riddhima was in the car with Anjali and Muskaan. They were going to some party and they were forcefully taking Riddhima with them. They made her wear a really
pretty pink churidaar. She was looking completely breathtaking, though she was really upset. It was her birthday and none of her friends remembered it. She had tried to remind them so many times, but they just didn't remember.

"Anji, Muski, where are we going? Which party are you all talking about?" Riddhima asked irritated.
"Chill out Ridzi. You're so freakin' impatient! You'll find out really soon."
"Ugh!" Riddhima just crossed her arms and pouted. She saw Anjali and Muskaan exchange a wink, but just overlooked it. She didn't say another word and just looked
outside the window.
outside the window.
They soon arrived at the party hall and when Riddhima opened the door, she was surprised. The entire hall was dark, which was scaring her, but entered anyways.
"Why on Earth is it so dark in here?" She managed to gulp down the fear and spoke.
"A... Anji... Muski... what's this?" She turned around to find the other two, but she found herself alone there and was even more scared to see the door closed. "Anji! Muski!" She shouted, hoping to find the two come out, but that didn't happen. "Oh God. What's happening? Where did these two go?" She was completely scared now. She started to walk forward and when she stepped down the last step, the lights suddenly turned on and the sound of a balloon popping could be clearly heard.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIDDHIMA!" Everyone shouted and started to clap.
Riddhima was completely shocked to see everyone there. All of her friends had a big smile on their faces and were clapping. She couldn't understand what was going on. A smile came on her lips as she realized that this was her birthday party! She walked forward and looked at the decorations.
The hall was decorated with her favorite flowers, orchids. All the balloons had her name on it. She stood in center and looked at everyone.
"Guys. You all did this for me?"
"Of course we did this for you Ridzi! It's your birthday!" said Atul.
"But, I thought that-"
"That we forgot about it. Right?" Rahul completed the sentence for her and Riddhima nodded.
"Well, we can never forget your birthday." said Muskaan.
"Thank you so much guys! You all made my day!" Riddhima said happily.
"Mhm. If you want to say thanks, then say to the person that has been planning for your birthday since a month." Said Anjali.
"Who?"
"You really gotta ask me this? Don't you know?" Riddhima smiled as it dawned on her.
"Where is he?"
"Right here sweetheart." Riddhima turned and saw Armaan standing there. He was looking as handsome as ever. She smiled seeing the love in his eyes.
"Armaan." He stood in front of her and kissed her forehead.
"Happy birthday."
"You remembered?"
"Of course I did. How can I forget my 'jaan's' birthday?"
"Thank you so much for this." Armaan just smiled in return. "Now let's cut the cake. I'm famished now." He made a really cute face and Riddhima smiled and nodded.
She cut the cake and everyone clapped. She fed it to Armaan first and then everyone else. Coming back to Armaan, she crossed her arms and smirked.
"Where's my gift Mr. Mallik?" Armaan made a scared face and gave her a nervous chuckle.
"Umm... Ba... Bas... ket... I-" Riddhima pouted and turned around to go, but Armaan
held her wrist to stop her. Riddhima turned around and saw him on his knees.

"Riddhima Gupta, I love you. And I know that you love me, too. I know that I'm a stupid fool, I'm a goofball. But will you spend the rest of your life with me? Will you
be my partner in all of my happy and sad times? Will you be the mom of my 6 little kids and the grandmom of many of my grandchildren? Will you become Mrs. Riddhima Armaan Mallik?" Riddhima had tears in her eyes by the time he finished. She nodded with tears in her eyes. Armaan smiled and got up. He hugged Riddhima really tight and everyone clapped for them. Armaan's eyes were
slightly moist. He had gotten the world with Riddhima.

"I love you Riddhima." He whispered in her hair.
"I love you, too."
Riddhima came out of her trail of thoughts as she heard some footsteps. She closed her eyes and smiled recalling that beautiful day. Her birthday was the best day of her life. She quickly made their breakfast and laid it on the table. She smiled at him, but he didn't return it, which slightly confused her, but she decided to brush the thought off. She sat down and started to serve his food.
She looked at him, expecting him to wish her, but he kept on reading the newspaper. Feeling her eyes on him, he looked at her.
"What?" He said a little rudely, completely surprising her. She just shook her head.
"Armaan... um... I... I... um..." She fumbled, trying to get the words correctly.
"Will you talk or will you keep fumbling?" Riddhima was taken aback by his sudden anger. What's wrong with him? Why is he so angry?
"Armaan? Why are you yelling at me?"
"Well what do you expect me to do?"
"Armaan? Don't you remember what day it is?"
"No I don't."
"Armaan it's my birthday. How can you forget it?"
"Well I'm sorry Riddhima! I have many more important things to do than to remember your birthday! First of all, the employees are messing most of the things up, and here, you are worried about your birthday! I'm tired of this!" Armaan yelled at her, bringing tears in her eyes. He got up and started to go.
"Armaan. At least have your breakfast."
"No thanks. And don't wait for me tonight. I'm going to an important meeting so I'll eat
with them and come home late." With that, he left the house, leaving an upset Riddhima behind.

"What's wrong with Armaan? He never acted this way. He's tired of me? I guess I was wrong." Riddhima cried for a while and then left for the hospital.
Armaan's Office
Armaan was completely busy in his work. He closed his eyes to relax a bit and the morning's incident came back to him. His eyes opened in a jerk and he realized what he had done.
"Oh no. What have I done? I yelled at Riddhima for no reason. I took out all of my frustration on her." Armaan closed his eyes and hit his head. "I'm an idiot. A fool.
It's her birthday and I... I messed everything up! I yelled at her! That's a limit dude! I made her cry on her birthday! Dude, you're completely messed up! What do I do now? Oh God! Please help me!" Armaan paced around the room when an idea clicked inside his brain. "Let me try calling her. If I'm lucky enough, she'll pick it up." He took out his phone and flipped through his contacts and called her.

Armaan paced around the room when an idea clicked inside his brain. "Let me try calling her. If I'm lucky enough, she'll pick it up." He took out his phone and flipped through his contacts and called her.
'I'm sorry. But the number you've called is currently switched off. Please try again later.'
The answering machine's reply made him groan.
"Oh no! The phone is switched off which means the girl is pissed off. Riddhima will kill me. I'm pretty much kicked out of the house today. I'll have to sleep in the garden tonight. Oh Lord! Please help!" Armaan prayed to God. After thinking for a while, he texted Riddhima, hoping that she'll reply back.
Sanjeevni
Riddhima entered the locker room and took out a file from her locker. She took out her phone to see whether she had any calls and saw 1 missed call and a text from Armaan. After debating a little, she opened the message.
Riddhima. I'm sorry Jaan. I know I was really rude to you this morning. I completely spoiled your birthday and I'm very sorry about it. If possible, please forgive me. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I was actually very pissed because of work. I had received a call from office saying that the workers weren't doing their work right. So I took off their frustration on you. I'm very sorry about it. Please forgive me.
By the way, let's celebrate your birthday. Let's go to a restaurant and have dinner there. Or even better, let's have candle light dinner at home. Just you and me. No one else. What say?
Yours,
Armaan
Riddhima slightly smiled reading the message, but she hadn't fully forgiven him. She texted him back and after placing the phone back in the locker, she went for the rounds.
On the other hand, Armaan's phone beeped and he immediately received it. He opened the message and read it.
Thanks for the offer Armaan, but I thought you had a very important meeting today and that you were going to eat with them and come home late? Please go ahead and attend it. They are really important... even more than me. And yes, the house is gonna be locked the entire night, so I'm not sure if I'll have enough strength to come down and open the door. So have fun. :-D
Riddhima
Armaan sighed reading the message. Great! He thought. Now I'm staying outside tonight. Now Riddhima will not forgive me. What do I do now?
He thought for a while and finally came up with an idea.
"Hmm. Dr. Riddhima Mallik. If you're stubborn, then I'm super stubborn. I guess I'll have to use my Armaan charms on you." Armaan said to himself and smiled widely.
At Night
Riddhima entered her room. It was around 10:00 at night and she was completely exhausted. She flopped herself down on the bed and removed her shoes. She quickly changed into her blue nightwear and stood in the big balcony attached to their room.
She thought over the day and sighed. This definitely had to be the worst birthday of her life. She had thought that Armaan would be giving her a surprise and they would be having a good time, but he, instead, scolded her and talked so rudely. There was no way that she was going to forgive him so easily. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
On the other hand, someone was standing in front of the house. That 'someone' was none other than Armaan. He was standing in front of the pipe, getting ready to climb it.
"Great Armaan. This was the only thing left to do. You gotta climb the 'pipe' to enter your OWN HOUSE. Life can't get any better. Great. Now stop thinking and climb the damn pipe."
Taking a deep breath, he held the pipe and carefully placed his foot on the rails and started to climb the pipe. His arms started to pain, but he cared less about it.
"Oh Lord! Help me please!"
He quickly reached the balcony and jumped inside. He saw Riddhima standing there with her eyes closed and arms crossed across her chest. She was looking enchanting as the Moon shone its light on her. Even the Moon looked less beautiful compared to her. He
smiled and looked beside him.
smiled and looked beside him.
(Song: You May Be- Aladdin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oJK3m8bEdE)
You're the one, you're the one,
Baby you're the one
He saw his guitar lying on a table and he picked up and started to play it. Riddhima opened her eyes as the beautiful rhythm of the song fell on her ears.
You're the one, you're the one,
Baby you're the one
Riddhima was shocked to see Armaan standing there, playing the guitar for her and he started to sing.
You maybe
Just a little bit,
Deewaani
Thodi, thodi si crazy,
But baby,
You're the one
He stepped closer and closer to her with a smile playing on his lips. The words were coming directly from his heart and Riddhima knew it. She lowered her gaze and turned around to walk back inside.
Tum jaisi
Hain na koi yun deewani
He quickly walked up to her and faced her, walking backwards.
Thodi, thodi si crazy
But baby,
You're the one
Riddhima looked up at him but then shifted her gaze again and walked back inside while Armaan put the guitar down.
Ab aur kisse
Na chahta hoon
Na aur kissi ko chahunga
Riddhima stopped, listening to his words, but didn't turn around.
Tu
Jo taare maangle,
To woh bhi tod laaunga
She slightly turned her head and saw him coming closer to her.
Kehke to dekho na
Kehke to dekho na
Karta rahunga
Main pyaar...
Riddhima blushed slightly and went outside of the room.
You may be
Just a little bit
Deewani
He looked at her retreating back and sighed.
Thodi, thodi si crazy
But baby,
You're the one
He leaned against the wall and saw a smiling teddy bear beside him and he nodded at him.
He ran down stairs and caught her hand.
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
He started to twirl her around and danced with her. Riddhima, for a moment, forgot her anger and danced merrily with him, but then moved away from him.
Khulle, khulle teri aankhon mein hain mere armaan saare
Khille, khille aise hain ke phike, phike hain sab nazaarein
He caught her wrist and sang, staring intently at her and then twirled her back into his arms.
Hain naya yeh jahaan
Ke hua na yahaan
He gazed into her eyes and smiled seeing the love in her eyes.
Itna kabhi bhi kissi ko kisse se hain pyaar
He kissed her cheeks and she closed her eyes in pleasure.
You may be
Just a little bit
Deewani (Deewani...)
She moved away from him and walked up to her room with a smile on her face.
Thodi, thodi si crazy
But baby (Tu hi toh meri)
You're the one,
You're the one...
He quickly walked up to her knowing that she has forgiven him and then grabbed her by her waist as they entered the room and pushed her against the wall.
Ab aur kisse
Na chahta hoon
Na aur kissi ko chaahunga
He brought his face really close to hers and smiled seeing the
loving smile on her lips.
loving smile on her lips.
Tu jo taare maangle
To woh bhi tod laaunga
He pointed out to the stars outside and fisted his fingers and brought it to her.

He took her hands in his pressed his lips on it, making her
blush.

his other hand with hers and they moved together in rhythm. He twirled her once and then brought her really close.

They gazed into each other's eyes and they smiled. He left her hands and held his ears.
"I'm sorry Riddhima. I know I acted like a jerk towards you this morning. I completely spoiled your birthday. You were so happy about it, and I ruined it all. I'm an idiot,
stupid, fool. I know you're really mad at me, but trust me. I never meant to yell at you. I don't know why I took out my frustration on you. I'm really sorry. I'm a bad boy. Hit me and take out all your anger, but please forgive me." He said very cutely. He took her hands and started to hit himself, but Riddhima pulled her hands away. She shook her head, cupped his face.

"I forgave you when you sent me that text. I just wanted to see what you can do to pacify me. And... I must admit. I loved your style. And who said you ruined my birthday? You actually made this the best and sweetest birthday of my life." Riddhima said sweetly and Armaan smiled widely. He pulled her into a hug.
"I love you Riddhima."
"I love you more Armaan." Both chuckled at this and broke apart. Armaan saw her hair blowing on her face and he moved her hair behind her ear.
"You know what Riddhima. I know that I probably wasn't the first one to wish you, but I will be the last and best one to wish you. Happy Birthday, love." Armaan whispered huskily and she smiled and hugged him. This was indeed the best birthday of her life.
I hope you liked it. I have a good news for you all. As you know, I'm planning to start
my FF really soon, and right now, I'm making the character sketch, and if it's done, hopefully it'll be up by next Saturday. I'm really excited about it. Please be sure to mention it in your comments if you want a PM for it or not as it'll make it easier on me.
