Hi maha😊

"Armaan… when I want to spend time with you tou you are running away… what is your problem," she grew angry, "aree par, they must be waiting for us na, yr! we will romance at night, wese bhi you not going to uni tomorrow and neither am I going to office – so we have night with us" he teased, kissing her forehead, as she remained in the same position. He waited for response which he got none, so he shifted her in lap, "koi tou baat hai ? Riddhima Malik can't be this romantic!" he asked, smiling to himself, "hmm… I just want you to be with me… only…you and me… bas" she spoke, sighing shifting in his lap hugging him tightly, he can make out her insecurity through her voice and words, "I am with you only…. Jaan." He told caressing her back, when his phone rung, he shifted back on bed, arched, for picking the phone from side table, "hello, whose this?" Armaan asked, as it was a private number, "Sanjanaa? Sanjana Sharma!!!! Oh yess, how can I forget you – REALLY? You are in India? Man why didn't you tell me before!!!" Armaan said excitedly, while Riddhima look up at him and then trace her finger on his bare chest with a slight frown on her forehead, "YES YES! We will meet today – just tell me where are you living," pause, "OMG – you remember Atul ? Yes obviously Sanjuu! Atul joshi!" Armaan's voice turned from startled and shock to friendly tone, and Riddhima's slight frown turned to harder one and her animated design over his chest grew more frequently, with her lips slightly pout outward.

"heyyy Sanju, a good new!! Atul getting married, and even my bro, Rahul – I hope you remember -"Armaan said, and after a minute later he laughed, at some Sanju's reply, "yea yea my little brother who had crush on you!!!" Armaan repeated and kissed Riddhima's cheek, who was looking at his chest constantly but her mind was drifted to his talk and this Sanju! She look up at him, and without thinking anything, she pecked his lips, he was taken back, and looked at her with a slight shock, and then he grins, joining up his brows in one – nudging his head a little; asking her the reason for what she did. She shuddered, shyly and circled her bare arms around his neck, though her lower body was securely folded in the white satin sheet. He couldn't help but notice how angelic she looked when she was draped in a sheet only… he was brought back to world,

"haan sorry sorry Sanju – what were you saying?" Armaan asked, holding his mobile with one hand, he wrapped the other around her, hugging her back, as she rested her head on his shoulder, ruffling her fingers on his nap, and up to his hair, pecking his shoulder, a few times.

"today? Well today I am heading too Atul's new house, he is getting married as I told you soo – we all gathering at his new house which is still under-process!" he said, pause, "you want to come?" Armaan asked, and Riddhima moved away, glaring at him, he nods his head upward asking her, what happened, she sighed angrily and tired to get up, but he held her, "really… ok, I be leaving in an hour – text me your address, I will pick you up!" pause, Riddhima punched him and tried to get up but her sheet got tangled up in his knee, she wrinkled her nose and pushed him away, from his shoulder while he just chuckled, "ok I will pick you up, in an hour – okay cya byeee!" Armaan cut the call, "what are you doinggg!" Armaan laughed and tried to help her but with her fussing up it got rolled up more, "urghhh! Leave me!" she hit him on his chest and held the sheet from her chest and pulled the rest, really hard. "hummppphhh!" she get off the bed, balancing herself, while Armaan just laughed astonishingly and got up circling another sheet around his waist, "kyaa hua… itnaaa Gussa? A minute back tou you loved me… I was having a second thought over going to Atul's house!" he tried to hold her in his arms, but she slapped his hand away and walk away to wardrobe, "kon hai yea Sanju?" she asked, straightforwardly. "meri dost hai!! London sa – she was with me, while me and Atul were graduating!!" pause, "Rahul joined us a bit late, par he was all over her – you know!" Armaan followed her and hugged her, "and she was behind whom?" Riddhima asked, looking up at her dresses…

"aa….. let me chose a dress for you," Armaan changed topic, which made Riddhima frown, "Par…" she was about to speak when his phone rang again, "it is Atul, wear that Pink sari – you look beautiful in it!" he pulled the hanger out which had pink sari hanging on it, "Sari nahi pehni mujha!!" she winced, while he spoke on phone to Atul, "haan atul we are just leaving in a while, yea wait for us we will have food there with you guys!" Armaan said, making please face to Riddhima, she pout her lips and pick out a selveless top, more like a vest(women beater shirt) and she kept on herself, posing for him, but he shook his head in no, disapproving it, while talking to phone. She winced hitting the floor with her feet, "kyyuuunnn!" she asked from far, he made puppy face and pointed at sari. She huffed and picked the sari and went away in the washroom, holding onto the sheet, around her, he closed the phone and went up to the wardrobe, picking out a white formal shirt, and a beige color trouser and watched television while his wife got ready in washroom.

"hey… you didn't ask, why I said, to go for sari…" he whispered from behind as she combed her hair, with a slight angry face. "Armaan you are wet… don't destroy my cloths!" she nudged her elbow in his ribs, "oww! That hurts wifey!" he commented and started to wear shirt – and then buttoning it up while she remained silent and did a little touch up make up.

He hugged her again once he was ready, and very delicately, moved his hand over her bare belly, grasping it, making her hitch in response, "what are you up to…." She whispered, "telling you why I told you to go for sari…" he said, kissing her neck, she gave him a confused look through mirror, "I get more excess to you – without much efforts!" he whispered in her ear, biting it ever so lightly. "youuu!" she hit his hand away from her waist and punched his chest, numerous time while held her waist and laughing at her red blushing face….

*-------*

"Why are we picking your friend? Armaan! Can't she come on her own?" Riddhima said, annoyingly as she said in the car with Armaan, who was on its way to Sanjana's home. "No na Riddhima, she came to India for the first time – she won't be able to find it, I know her na!!" Armaan replied, looking at the direction plates on road.

"so you could have told one of your drivers to pick her up and bring her at Atul's place, why do WE have to pick her up?" Riddhima asked crossing her arm, in frustration. "tchh… stop being childish – when our paths are same, tou why different cars?" Armaan asked as he halts his outside a house, "I guess this is it! B-4 house number!" pause, "let me go and check." Armaan opened the door, and started to go to home, "she should be standing outside not the other way!" Riddhima stated, angrily. "What is wrong with you… keep quite now!" Armaan said, confused over why his wife was getting frustrated for no reason, he shuddered and ran the bell of the house, he looks back at her and said, "no response!"

"yahhh!" Riddhima pulled her fist arms up and passed him a huge smile, with a slight jiggle, Armaan chuckled with a slight mouth open, "Pagal!" he mouthed at her when she showed him her tongue.

"OMG HEYYY ARMAAAN!" the voice, Armaan turned back at home, and a girl came in show, she literally threw herself on him by grasping his neck in her arms, "OMG I missed you soo soo soo much!" "Heey Sanju… man!! I missed you too!" Armaan hugged her back as she placed loud kiss on his cheek.

Wohhhoo, on other hand almost volcano burst up – Riddhima's eyes were popping out when she heard the voice of kiss, loud kiss! 'urghhh' her soul shouted, 'howww dare sheee' she thought, 'howww dareee heee' she thought with anger. As she notices him placing a peck on Sanjana whatever's cheek.

"come on lets goo…." Armaan turned around, to Notice Riddhima looking on the other side. Her senses worked up and she turned her face to other side, and closed her eyes, 'relax Riddhima relaxxx… take deep breathe…. Inhale…… exhale… yea inhale… exhale… relaxxx relaxxx' she thought, "HEY Riddhima!" Armaan called her as they walk close to the car, "who is shee?" Sanjana asked, while circling her arm around Armaan's waist, as they walk, Riddhima stepped out of the car as Armaan opened the door for her, "hi…" Riddhima said, with a tight smile, but slight moved in her place as this Sanjana checked her out from head to toe and wrinkled her nose.

"Sanjana…" Armaan moved away from Sanjana, and hugged side way to Riddhima, "meet my wife! Riddhima!" Armaan introduced. Riddhima herself looked at this girl, Sanjana, who stood in a really mini jeans skirt, covering half way only of her thighs, and a halter red top.

"OMG you are joking RIGHT?" Sanjana asked, taking a step back and looking Riddhima precisely. "uhmm…" Armaan shifted in his place and frowned at Sanjana, "why would I? I love her! She is my soul… my better half!" Armaan added, confidently. "uhm… ahh… uhmmm shall we go then?" Sanjana spoke, in a discrete manner. "yeaa… Atul will kill us now! Let's go!" he ushered Riddhima to hoop in and she did with a faint smile and lowered eyes, Sanjana's behavior had spoken a lot and for the first time it was Riddhima who had clearly understood that this girl had not Approved her at all for Armaan, uncomfortable Riddhima looks down at herself and thought – that she looked fat, her figure was not like this Sanjana, which had everything, at perfect place, 'she must be a gym person…' Riddhima thought and kept looking outside the window. On the other hand, Armaan did the much of talking to Sanjana, who was also daze and answering in a yes or no, mostly, while giving Riddhima glances from back seat.

"Finallly! You took ages! And who is she?" Muskan asked, who opened the door for them, "hey Muskan, This is Sanjana! Mine and Atul's London friend!" Armaan introduced, "And Sanjana this is Muskan Rahul's fianc." Armaan added, "heey…" Sanjana said, "hii… come on in…!" Muskan replied,

"oyee…. Why is your face down?" Muskan let the Sanjana and Armaan walk in and stood for Riddhima to enter, "don't ask!" Riddhima gritted her teeth's and glared at Sanjana, "woohho… you hate that women kyaa?" Muskan asked, teasingly, "please Muskan!" Riddhima said, annoyingly and walk in to Anjali, who was talking to one of the painter.

"Heey…" Riddhima said, "hi…" Anjali said, "What's up with you?" Riddhima frowned at Anjali's cold 'hi'. Anjali just walk away in kitchen, and started to arrange the grocery things, in cupboards, "kya huaa?" Riddhima asked, sadly following her, "Armaan told me! How.." Anjali lowered her voice, "how can you go test yourself!" Anjali asked, Riddhima was startled, and bit her lower lips, "I am sorry Anjali – I had lost my mind back then… but I didn't read the report, I promise… please… abhi I have a bigger problem, let that test thing go pleaseee!" Riddhima pleaded, "Don't talk to me! I am angry at you!" Anjali told her right away, "and wese bhi you are too intelligent and do things on your own without anyone's advice – this new problem bhi khud solve karo!" Anjali told her and walk out of the kitchen to others.

Riddhima's eyes grew moist a little, but she ticked the tear of her eyes and walk out of the kitchen. Now she realized maybe what she did was wrong – but Armaan did save her from not watching the report at least. She went to out to see then scattered on tiled floor, she went and sat beside Armaan on floor, who smiled at her and she smiled back at her,

"So Sanjana… how come India?" Atul asked, making Anjali settle down in his lap, "well I am settling another root in India of my fashion designing company, Ego. Must have heard of it" Sanjana spoke.

"Yeaa I do buy E.G.O Company's cloth they have good style and amazing prints…" Muskan spoke as she sat down beside Rahul, who smiled at her, but remained quite. "That is great Sanjana – do tell us, if you need help!" Atul volunteered, "Yea sure!! When is the wedding between?" Sanjana asked, "2 week later! On 30^th!" Rahul answered.

"Oh yea…. Great, so Mr. Rahul all ready for wedding?" Sanjana asked, "ah… yea yeaa!" Rahul replied, making Muskan frown while Atul and Armaan giggled, "aren't you still over Sanjana?" Atul asked, "Atull!!!" Rahul glared at him,

"Awww is it Rahul?" Sanjana teased and giggled, while Muskan and Anjali frowned while Riddhima just shook her head, "What are you all talking about?" Anjali asked, "Well nothing!" Rahul butted in, "no I want to know!" Muskan said glaring at Rahul, "I will tell you the whole scenario! Rahul had hearts for Sanjana, and Sanjana had hearts for Arm…"

"I AM HUNGRY!" Armaan spoke, loudly getting everyone's attention, but it was late, everyone understood that Atul was referring that Sanjana had feelings for Armaan..! "yeaa well I will order Pizza!" Anjali got up and dialed the number over her mobile, there was a silence in room and Riddhima snatched her hand out of Armaan's grasp, and stood up, "where is the washroom?" Riddhima asked Atul, "oh well – beside Kitchen!" Atul pointed at the washroom, she faintly smiled and walks away to washroom.

"So Muskan, Shopped for wedding?" Sanjana tried to ease the atmosphere which felt cold. "uhmm nope not yet, excuse me please, I want water!" Muskan walk away. "ohhhkkkaay.." Sanjana replied,

"soo guys tell me, what are you all up to?" Sanjana said, getting boys attention, "well me and Rahul are working in our family business," Armaan answered, "and I have my own business…. Cotton." Atul replied,

She nodded, "so Armaan how long have you been married," "almost a year!! Precisely, 11 months and 20 days, after 10 days it will be a year!" Armaan said, "Party dude!!" Atul said, "Yes Armaan party tou banti hai!!" Anjali joined in "of course guys!" Armaan smiled happily. "I will be back," Rahul stood up and went away towards kitchen.

"I guess Muskan is upset about the crush Rahul had on me!" Sanjana spoke, "nope… Muskan is mature enough –"Anjali defended Muskan, "really… i didn't felt so..!" Sanjana replied back, "then you felt wrong!" and Anjali went away to one of the workers, "what is wrong with your girl's guys!" Sanjana rolled her eyes while Armaan and Atul shifted in their places…. Uncomfortably…

Riddhima walk out of the washroom and walk in the kitchen to see Rahul and Muskan fighting, "Muskan – I didn't knew she would ever come back damn it – and she isn't important for me – that's why I didn't tell you about it!" Rahul told, angrily, "I don't care, you should have informed me, now you can just go to hell !!" Muskan told him, "Guyss… stop it! What are you to doing?" Riddhima said, frowning, "Riddhima see na, she is fighting over pointless!" Rahul said, "Muskan… Sanjana is an old chapter for him, stop being a kid… chalo stop fighting and lets go – what must Sanjana thinking!! That you are so immature!" Riddhima reasoned, "fine…! I want her far away from you! Got it?" Muskan glared at Rahul, "fine yeaa… as far as you are close to me… who cares about her!!" Rahul pulled her closer to him, "fine… I don't mind being close to you!" Muskan replied and circled her arms around his neck, "Riddimaa please… go if you don't want to us kissing!" Rahul said, moving closer to Muskan, "gosh… you two are too much!" Riddhima blushed and walk out from kitchen, "why are you smiling?" Armaan nudged his elbow, "kuch nahi – they both just told me to go away if I don't want to see them romance! How shameless are they! Nahi?" Riddhima told Armaan, he chuckled, "we can do the same thing here… I don't mind too!" Armaan circled his arm around her and pulled her closer, "stop it!!!" she pushed him away, blushing even more.

"ahem ahem… please don't forget we are here too!" Sanjana interrupted. "yea… uhmm…" Armaan passed a grin to her, "anyways, Riddhima what do you do?" pause, "don't tell me you are a house wife – seriously I won't be shock if you say you are a house wife, because your presence do look like one!! Hahaaha" Sanjana laughed, making Riddhima totally uneasy….

"She is studying her masters in business – and soon in a year, she would be joining Armaan's company!!" Anjali stepped in, "you always defend your friend… nicee!" Sanjana pulled her eye brow, in a wicked way, "well what can I say – true friends, I guess you must have heard of it – seriously I won't be shock if you said no you haven't seen True friends…. Hahahhah" Anjali spoke, with sarcasm… "I guess Pizza is here!!!" Armaan butted in, "I will collect it bhai… you sit!" Rahul replied as he and Muskan walk out of kitchen, "I thought you would be busy romancing!! Great you are out yourself!" Armaan teased as Muskan joined them and smacked Armaan on his arm as she sat on his other side. "shut up!"

"You shut up!" Armaan smacked Muskan's arm back, "ow stop it!" Muskan said, smacking his arm, "you stop it!!" Armaan smacked her, "urghhh!" she began to smack him again and again while Riddhima, Anjali, and Atul laughed, "Rahul appni Junglee billi ko sambhaal!" Armaan said, hitting her back hardly…"Oh God grow up! At least you Armaan!" Sanjana rolled her eyes and pulled a bean couch and settle on it, while others settled on floor.

"Muskan mat kar! Chod bhai ko!" Rahul kept the pizza down in centre and pulled Muskan away from him, who sighed loudly, "appna Bhai ko bol…." Muskan shouted at him, "bhai please… okay… no more!" Rahul begged Armaan, "haan Armaan bass!" Riddhima stopped him, "Anything for you my jaan!" Armaan kissed Riddhima on her cheek, making her blush – but this time she didn't hit or anything as she notice Sanjana flaming up and looking up.

"let's eat guys!!!" Anjali announced and opened the boxes! "no plates?" Sanjana asked, "nope! Eat on hand or be hungry!" Muskan retorted, "Muskan!! no I will go and bring you a paper plate!" Anjali stood up and went in the kitchen.

"Armaan honey, get me a slice of that pizza in front of you!" Sanjana said, passing the paper plate to Armaan, "yea sure!" Armaan replied, While Riddhima frowned and ate her pizza quietly. "Want more?" Armaan asked, notice Riddhima almost finish her first slice and here the pizza was coming to its end. "yup…" Riddhima nodded and Armaan smiling gave her another piece. She smiled back at him and ate while listening to all of them.

"oye Muskan leave this last piece for Riddhima – how much will you eat moti !! my wife ate only 2 pieces!!" Armaan snatched the box! "oyeee Teri tou!" Muskan was about to blast when, "nahi nahi… Armaan!!! give to her…" Riddhima said, "Muskan relax… have it… I am done! Seriously…" Riddhima added, "kya done…. Eat properly… chup raho tum!" Armaan reasoned, "aur tu… bas kar!! Shaadi hona wali hai – moti reduce yourself!!" Armaan teased Muskan, "RAhulll!" Muskan shouted.

"I am out of this ! please !! stop annoying me you too!" Rahul stood up and went away to washroom for washing his hands,

"Seriously Armaan I don't want it!!" pause, "Muskan lo kaho!" Riddhima passed it too her, "I don't want it!!" Muskan huffed and crossed her arms around her chest, "acha chal lo kahlo!" Armaan hugged her side way, "kah lo… Muskan… dhek I am giving you warna baad mai…" Armaan passed it to her but was about to eat himself when she took it from him, "thank you tou bol!" Armaan said, "bhaad mai jaa!" Muskan replied,

"wese Riddhima you should eat less…." Sanjana started off, "kyun bhai… ?" Armaan asked Sanjana laughing, "Well she should maintain her figure you see – wife of tycoon… or so loose… doesn't suit's Armaan! you know na how business world is – she soon will join you and then business parties… such…" she was interrupted,

"ohh please, I find Riddhima really pretty and perfect unlike skinny people like You…. And me!" Anjali said, "I would prefer that people should look more like Riddhima, because people Like YOU and…. Me… look really odd in some clothes!! Seriously, Muskan and Riddhima look terrific in few cloths! Nahi Armaan?" Anjali said, eyeing Riddhima, who was looking down. Armaan found Riddhima all silent and knew she was not happy with the criticism… he had to do something, he thought, "Well I love my wife – I love how she is …. And she knows how to present herself in front of people, I like how she is… and I will love her more if she dress in the same sense in future for any sort of business party!" Armaan replied, 'why was his wife in lime light?' he thought.

"oh please Really Armaan? in business party you want Riddhima to go in Sari?" Sanjana laughed, "you don't have to worry about what I wear! Sanjana, it will be good if you could just…. Mind you own business!" Riddhima stood up, "excuse me…" she added leaving every shock….

"Riddhima now really – I was being nice and just telling you my true opinion, there is nothing to take it to heart…" Sanjana played her tramp cards, as she stood up, while others just gulped, "oh really…. Well then I would like to give my view over you too then!" Riddhima look back at her, "about me! I am perfect!!" Sanjana said confidently, "really now? I think… you look pathetic!!" Sanjana looked at her shock, "And I guess… you can't take up this dress gracefully… actually this skirt and red color doesn't even suit you!!! You are showing too much of flesh but seriously… you look ugly with those skinny legs!! Urghhh what a bad dressing sense, Nahi Muskan?" Riddhima spoke with soft and in a graceful manner, and then look back at Muskan, who was too shock to say anything. "uhhmm… yea yeaa… you should change your dressing style – it hardly suit's you!!" Muskan added, grinning by now,

"whattt!!! Armaaan! What the hell is your wife speaking? How can she be soo rude to me!!" Sanjana said, shouting at Armaan, who was baffled at what was happening, he stood up. "Tell your wife to Mind her own business!!!" Sanjana added "Sanjana now really – I was being nice and just telling you my true opinion, there is nothing to take it to heart…" Riddhima said, lovingly…

"hummmpph!" Sanjana walk towards the door, "Armaan are you going to drop me? Or NOT?" Sanjana authoritively asked, "uhmmm yeaa… yea I will drop you!" Armaan rushed, leaving a shock Riddhima behind, "Rahul… bring Riddhima home!" Armaan said to Rahul in way, "Armaaan!" Riddhima hit the floor in anger and then tears streamed out of her eyes, "heeey…" Muskan hugged her, "wow! Riddhima… was that you really?" Atul asked in daze, while Riddhima softly cried, "why did he go after her… does she mean so much to him?" Riddhima asked softly, "heeey… pagal hou kya… Armaan is doing it for the old time sake! Yrr!" Atul defended. "Then why didn't he took me along with him… I came with him right?" Riddhima pushed Muskan away and ran away to the washroom.

"uhmmm… what can I say – he might want to keep both of them away…" Atul replied to rest, "Still why he even brought her here!!" Muskan frowned, "she is our old good friend Muskan!" Atul tried to explain, "I don't want to see her again!" Muskan spoke, "Muskan, don't be child… she is one of Bhai's best friend!" Rahul added, "I don't know what else this girl will do…? I have really bad feeling when I think of this girl guys!!" Anjali said, walking to washroom to console Riddhima…while Atul pressed his lips together, "I guess Bhai did Right by giving her lift, as he brought here – he should just drop her off!" Rahul discussed with Atul while Muskan went away after Anjali. "I don't know, but tonight Riddhima is not going to give any life too Armaan that I am sure off!!!" Atul laughed, softly and soon Rahul joined in!!!
