Be My Chamak Challo
"Yo!Riddhima.Come here" Riddhima frowned and said "It's Ridz okay..No Riddhima please.It reminds me what a bad name my parents gave me.Like really ? Riddhima ..Look at your name Muskaan..Such a nice name" Muskaan giggled "What ever it is it's your name so bear it and hey you gotta go to Saddu's office"
The moment Muskaan said Saddu she regretted it cause she knew what would be coming and that's exactly what came. "MUSKAAN CHADDHA!His name is Armaan Mallik not Saddu..Tere liye infact poore office ke liye Saddu hoga but for me.He's the prince" she saw Muskaan's questioning face so she added "Arey mere life ka price...I like my name only when he says it.Aiye Haye kinne sweet tareeke se kehta hai Ms.Riddhima..Uff!I toh die when he says that and you.." she was interuppted by Muskaan "But he doesn't find you sweet.Infact he doesn't find any one sweet"
"Chup kar Muski..He's just working a lot na..time nahi milta usse.I bet he knows how much I crush him" Riddhima said dreamily.."Yeah and I bet he knows how much I feel like crushing him" Muskaan said moving her hands to Armaan's imaginary neck so that she could crush it.Riddhima hit Muskaan's arm and left for Armaan's cabin
Riddhima looked at herself in the mirror.She set her hair and straightened her skirt and with a smile on her face she entered his cabin only to hear Armaan's rude tone saying "Are you going to some fashion show? No right so why the hell were you setting your hair as if you were coming to impress me?" "I don't have to impress you.I impressed you that's why I got the job right" finishing it with a wink.
Armaan briefed Riddhima on the case she was going to do."Erm Armaan I have some doubts so could you like solve it" Riddhima said huskily."It's time for me to go so tomorrow" Armaan said.He was about to go when Riddhima caught his hand.Armaan's blood boiled when he felt Riddhima catch his hand "Let Go Riddhima!" "Uh Uh" "RIDDHIMA GUPTA!LEAVE MY HAND THIS VERY MOMENT!OR I WILL HAVE TO FIRE YOU" Armaan said angrily..At that very instant Riddhima's grip on his hand tightened..
Armaan looked Riddhima angrily but that did not affect Riddhima at all."I wanna be your chamak challo" "What??" Riddhima pulled Armaan closer and whispered "You know what I'm talking about..Don't give me that what expression Armaan" Armaan tried to leave but Riddhima kept holding Armaan's hand "Dekho tum mere saath ye sab nai kar sakti..I'm your boss for god's sake"
Riddhima moved closer to him and said "Boss ho isiliye to ye sab kar rahi hu" Armaan was in awe of Riddhima but this statement brought him out of his trance.He jerked her had away.It hurt her but he didn't care "Exactly.Boss hu isiliye ye sab kar rahi ho but get one thing straight in your mind Riddhima I do not wish to have any personal relations with you and if one more time you do this to me I swear to god I'll not only fire you but your reputation will also be at cost"
It took a few moments for Riddhima's brain to register what happened.Armaan was near the door of his cabin.He opened it when Riddhima quickly shut it and said "What can you do huh ? What will you do ? You know what Armaan people hate you for rudeness I'm the only one in this freakking office who actually does not call you 'Saddu' 'McSad' cause I adore you for what you are and what the heck do you give me in return ? Rudeness.I beared it for 2 long years Armaan but not any more.I cannot bear getting insulted any more so you know what I am just gonna resign."
She picked her purse and was about to leave "You know what Armaan.I know that you know how much I love you but you don't care.You know you like it when your touch affects me.You know how my heart beat increases when you praise me.You know how my days brightens when you smile at me.That happens rarely but when it does happen you know how much I feel like poking those dimples.I tried to make you like me Armaan but I failed.And it hurts me Armaan.It really does."
She turned to leave only to find her hand being caught by Armaan.Her eyes widened in shock when she felt Armaan's hand on hers.She slowly turned to see Armaan looking down.A few moments later Armaan looked up with his eyes moist.Her heart broke into pieces when she realised he was about to cry.
She was about to cup his face when he held both her hands."I know how much you love me Riddhima.But I don't know will this love be life long.I know how much my touch affects you but I don't know if it will affect you till your last breath.I know your heart beat increases when I praise you but I don't know if it do the same after some years.I know how your day brightens when I smile but I don't know if my smile will brighten or darken your day in future."
"I'll always love you Armaan.I love you more than I love myself" Riddhima said freeing her hand and cupping Armaan's face."3 years ago I met a girl.I really loved her Riddhima.I proposed her she accepted.I was really happy.But on the day of the marriage she ran away taking the money I had kept on her name.2 months later after this whole marriage fiasco I met her.And you know what she told me "Tum mere boss the isiliye toh maine sab kuch kia".This just showed me that she was after my money.From that day I stopped believing in this word called love.But when you entered my life I couldn't help but fall for you.I tried my best to keep my feelings under control but I couldn't.I can't go through another heart break Riddhima.I just can't."
Riddhima embraced Armaan in hug where Armaan cried his heart out pulling her closer to him.Riddhima soothed him and kissed his hair mumbling sweet words in his ears. Armaan broke the hug and pulled Riddhima closer.Their faces were extremely close.He claimed her by placing his lips on hers.Riddhima who was out of breath broke the kiss.There fore heads were still touching."I love you Riddhima" "I love you too" "Promise me you won't leave me ever" "Promise".
