"Armaan?" I whispered, shaking him. It had been two hours since I had wept and broken the dams that I had been trying to keep intact since the past few years. But although the tears had stopped, the hurt hadn't. I had slept off in Armaan's tight embrace, only to be woken up again by a bad dream, with a very scary looking Krish telling me I'm going to end up losing the next best thing. And as soon as my eyes had opened, my eyes had searched for that best thing I knew the scary Krish had been talking about.
I had found his eyes shut as if in deep sleep, his head falling on the bed post.
"Hmm Munchkin?" He opened his eyes sleepily. I looked at him surprised, and he smiled drowsily. "I wasn't completely asleep.." He grinned, but his expressions changed to worry; he probably saw my fearful eyes. Holding me tighter in assurance, he whispered in my ear, "Had a nightmare?" He asked caressing my cheek. I smiled sadly, fidgeting with his shirt buttons and nodded. "About Krish?" He asked expectantly.
"And you.." I whispered back.
"Me?" He asked amused. "I don't leave you alone even in your dreams, do I? That's just the Armaan effect!" He smirked.
I rolled my eyes but smiled anyway.
"Its not funny!" I frowned once I was over his lame joke.
"Munchkin it happens.. That dream doesn't mean anything okay? You've been crying non-stop since hours! It was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep, that's the only reason why you had that dream okay?" He said calmly, trying to sooth me by rubbing my back slowly. He suddenly moved, and pinned me down beneath him slowly, making my lie down. "Now go to sleep baby, its been a long night for you, okay?" He kissed my forehead lightly and I gave him a small smile, not entirely comforted. I placed my hand on his chest as his eyes wandered down to where my hand was lying. I frowned when I couldn't find what I was looking for.
"Uh, Riddhima, what're you doing?" He asked me uncertainly.
"Trying to find your heart. Armaan why can't I feel your heartbeat?" I asked, alarmed. He rolled his eyes, and taking my hand placed it a few centimeters away from its earlier position.
"Almost 22 years old, and you still can't tell the exact position of the human heart?" He asked me, and I looked at him sheepishly.
"I was weak in Biology." I mumbled, pouting. He laughed and kissed me again.
"You're so cutely blonde, Riddhima!" He guffawed, instantly making me scowl.
"Can I please sleep hugging you?" I cut across his laughter and he looked at me amused.
"Kind of makes me wonder what you were doing so far!" He said sardonically, pulling me on top of him as he lied down himself. Not bothering to reply back since it was pointless, I placed my ear on his heart, listening to his steady beats.
"Armaan?" I whispered again.
"What now, Munchkin?" He asked exasperated. I could sense he was tired, and I suddenly felt guilty; after all, he had work early morning too.
"Nothing, goodnight!" I mumbled quietly.
"I know you're afraid Munchkin, that that dream will return.. " He stroked my hair, and I smiled at his old habit of reading my mind. "Think about good things okay? It won't return! And I ain't going anywhere.. I love you, baby!" He whispered lovingly, kissing the top of my head. And I smiled whole-heartedly this time. A single 'I Love You' from the right person could set things straight for you.
"Fall asleep, baby!" He whispered and I instantly shut my eyes, hoping this time for the rest of the night.
"Bro, LEAVE already!" Rhea muttered exasperated as Armaan still kept having second thoughts about leaving for work.
"Shut up, Rhea!" Armaan replied, annoyed. "Munchkin, you sure you'll be okay?" Armaan bent down and asked me lovingly as I looked at him half-amused.
"YES ARMAAN!" Rhea and I said at the same time, then broke into a fit of laughter. Armaan scowled.
"I have no value since you've come!" He seethed, while Rhea's roars of laughter grew louder. "I'm leaving!" He huffed, but still bent down and placed a big, hard kiss on my forehead, almost as if showing how angry he was. "You.." He stuck his gaze on me, "..be okay." He commanded. "And you.." He turned to Rhea who looked at him skeptically, "..take good care of her.. I've noted the medicine timings, its right next to the medicines, so keep a lookout. She'll fuss around, throw tantrums and refuse to take them, you still have to push them down her throat." He openly declared as I scowled. Was he talking about his fiance or his unborn 2-year-old? "She might still not give in, and continue with her drama, in which case you call me!" He continued.
"You do know, I'm here right?" I asked, scowling up at him. He just shrugged in a 'You know I'm right!' kind of way. And I couldn't argue to that; he was right after all.
"Yes, Bro, I'll babysit her real well, and she'll be hail, hearty and in one piece when you return. But for that, you shall have to leave first!" Rhea got up, deciding to take matters into her own hands, and began to push Armaan out of the room as I laughed at his annoyed face. "Phew, finally!" She sighed, and I smiled knowingly.
"Doesn't Bro drive you crazy?" She asked expectantly. I rolled my tongue in my mouth.
"He does, totally!" I said in a loud, cheeky voice.
"HEY!" Came his voice from outside.
"He's still here?!" Rhea slapped her forehead. "BRO, LEAVE, we don't want you!" Rhea yelled, and we heard him huff and his loud muttering. "Talk about being over-protective!" Rhea rolled her eyes. "But now that he's gone, we can begin our gossip! We haven't done that in so long!" She said excitedly, and I grinned nodding.
"Before we start our gossip session.." I stopped her; she looked at me perplexed. "'Armaan for God's sake, go to work!" I shouted.
"Fine, I'm going, I'm going!" He replied in defeat. And 2 minutes later, we heard the front door opening and closing. Monster Medicine was out.
"He's so cute!" I laughed, and saw Rhea looking at the door to the bedroom, lost. "Rhe?" I asked her, and she looked at me expectantly. "What?" I asked, frowning.
"Nothing, just thinking how great you both are together!" She said, smiling. But I could tell she was only half-smiling. There was something going on.
"Everything okay?" I placed my hand on her's and asked her concerned. Keeping the context of her previous statement in mind, and my love knowledge in perception, I could tell the problem was related to Nikhil, her boyfriend of 2 years.
"Perfect." She smiled and replied back. And from the look on her face, my doubts were confirmed.
After lunch, I requested Rhea to wash my hair in the sink since I was incapable of doing the task myself, and was sick of having dirty hair. And a good half hour of a messy 'bath' later, I finally had better smelling hair, and a very wet and annoyed Rhea glaring at me. We talked, watched movies on TV, gossiped endlessly.
Throughout the day, I could tell there was something bothering her, especially when she began talking about Armaan and me. There seemed to be something off; and needless to say, I had to know what it was.
"Rhe, you really don't look okay to me.." I said as I sipped my hot chocolate and she her coffee as we sat and relaxed on the couch. She looked at me embarrassed and gave a small side smile. "C'mon! What is it? You know you can tell me.. Maybe I can help!" I offered, giving her an assuring smile.
"Its Nik!" She sighed, putting her mug on the table.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to find that out, but what about him? Things not going right for you two?" I asked concerned. I personally found them a very cute couple, although Armaan thought his baby-sister was dating an asshole.
"No.. Its not that.. Its just..Become a little weird!" She mumbled, looking down.
"Why? Did he do something? If he did do something stupid, its fine, its normal; all girls face this phase all the time, they're boys, they are stupid and daft. It's a universal defect, and there's absolutely no repair for it. You know your Bro, don't you?" I said, trying to lighten her mood. She grinned and nodded in response.
"No, but its not something he's done.. Its just..You know, when we first started going out, there was this whole other feeling, this excitement, this thrill, that feeling of being on a high.. And suddenly, its just lost all the-"
"-zing." I completed her statement. She looked at me sheepishly and nodded.
"Yea.. Suddenly, its getting to me how we're trying so hard, trying all the time to make things seem normal. And the mere fact that we're trying proves that things aren't normal.. They're way beyond normal, and I just think that..Maybe, you know.. This is it.." She said sadly.
"If this is it, then why are you so upset about it?" I asked understandingly.
"Because..Its Nikhil! He's so..perfect. In every way.." She smiled dreamily. "I obviously don't want to give him up!" She said sadly. "But then it would be wrong if we remain tied to this bond which is going nowhere!" She sighed frustrated.
"Rhe!" I sighed, knowing what the problem was. "Its nothing, its just a phase, it will pass!" I said assuring. She looked at me, still in two minds. "Rhe, simple question, do you love him?" I asked.
"Of course, is that even a question? If I wouldn't have loved him, I would have given up way long ago!" She muttered.
"Does he love you?" I asked smiling.
"Yea, I know he does, I can see it. If he didn't, he would have given up too!" She sighed.
"Well, then, don't you think you should fight your way through this rather than giving up on things, and taking this phase as a sign that you shouldn't be together?"
"Its easy to say, Ridz!" She covered her face with her hands.
"I know! But its probably just lost that spark for you two, because its become a routine!" I shrugged.
"What'd you mean?" Rhea asked confused.
"What I mean is, maybe the two of you keep doing the same things all the time.. The reason why that thrill existed was because you both were new in the whole relationship, did new things, got to know new things about each other.. But maybe, now since you both keep doing the same things, going to the same places, maybe you don't get to know something new about him, and that's probably what's 'boring' you?" I suggested. She frowned thoughtfully, and I could see she was contemplating what I had said.
"But what else are we supposed to do?" She asked after a short pause.
"I don't know.. It could be as simple as going somewhere different for dinner! Just work on it, and maybe you'll find what's amiss!" I smiled, and she nodded understandingly.
"Maybe.." She mumbled.
"Look, if you're still confused, ask yourself a very simple question'" I sighed, and she looked up at me. "Do you see yourself with him till the end? And do you think you'd be able to stay without him?"
"Yea.. I've imagined it, of course I have.. And No, I don't, I can't see myself living without him.. It'd be too hard.. And to some level, I don't want to live without him.." She smiled slightly.
"Well there, you have your answer!" I winked, and she grinned, nodding. "And don't worry, this is just a phase, its very common, everyone goes through it.. You just have to be strong enough to stand through it, together!" I smiled reassuringly. "And also, if you're so wound up about this, talk to him, and whilst talking, maybe you'll find what you're looking for!"
"You talk like you've been there.. You and Bro faced this too?" She teased.
"Well, your Bro and I have just, you know, started to get to know each other.. But I have been in relationships before him, you know?" I grinned.
"So are you saying, that maybe the reason why those previous relationships didn't last was because you weren't strong enough to go through these phases?" She asked curiously, whilst I laughed. She really could be so cute at times, she made me feel like I was a wise 80-year-old woman.
"Well, that, and, there's some other reason too.." I winked.
"What?"
"Your stupid brother.." I grinned, and she frowned confused. "Well, since I've met and fallen for your crazy, insane brother, I've started believing a lot more than I did before, in something called Destiny. It wasn't just a co-incidence that I happened to come back here after 9 whole years, and that too at your doorstep. I was meant to find him again'" I said dreamily. The mere thought of him could make my heart go, 'Weee!'.
"Destiny.. So finally you saw it, then?" Rhea teased.
"What'd you mean? If it's the whole 3 years thing, please, your stupid Bro still taunts me about it, so don't push it!" I said sheepishly.
"No.. Its just that, Mum and I knew all along that you both would end up together!" She said nonchalantly, picking up her mug again.
"What?" I asked surprised.
"Yea, we had a bet!" She shrugged. My jaw dropped open; they had a bet?!
"WHAT? You and Mumma bet whether Armaan and I would get together or not?" I asked shocked.
"No, we bet about when you two would get together. Mum bet that you would be together within a year or something since you moved to Cali, but I bet you both would take time; obviously, she didn't know about Andrea then, so I had better odds of winning!" She smiled. l
"I can't believe' You..Mumma? Bet?! Seriously?" I asked, completely stunned. "And what if we didn't get together?" I asked sceptically.
"Well, that wouldn't happen of course. Its Armaan and Ridhdima, Munchkin and Peanuts. You both fit together like a puzzle, it'd be like I don't know, the sky falling over us if you both didn't end up together. Its like a universal phenomenon, you know, like the rains, or the sun rise, etc. etc." She shrugged.
"You're comparing Armaan and me getting together to the rains and the sun rise?" I asked sardonically.
"Yea, its as normal, and as.. Perfect as that. There would be no other way. And c'mon, Andrea was such a misfit in Bro's life! You're perfect for him!" She said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I am? But I'm a whole package of imperfections. And I mean it, I drive him totally insane!" I admitted.
"Don't you see it, that's what he loves?" She said matter-of-factly. "Bro's always got this need to please people, and at the same time, he's the negotiator, he always feels responsible for everything that happens, or he needs to feel that way anyway.. He's got this insane need to feel needed. And that's exactly how you make him feel - that you need him!"
"I do need him.." I mumbled.
"That's exactly what I said." Rhea sipped her coffee and smiled. "So, what phases as a couple have you and Bro gone through yet?" She asked suddenly. I looked at her and laughed at her randomness. "I mean, you know, I should know, for future reference, with Nikhil!" She shrugged.
"Well, I wouldn't really bet on your Bro and me, because we both are insanely immature, and when there's two such people together, there are a whole other set of 'phases'!" I laughed, and remembered all our crazy 'phases'. I wondered if there would be more.
"You know, I'm glad you both are together!" She hugged me, as I grinned and hugged her back. "Although, when you came, I just.. Didn't like you much.." She bit her lip. I looked at her shocked.
"What?" I asked surprised. "Why didn't you like me?" I asked worried. I hoped I hadn't done anything to offend her; it just sounded like something I would do!
"You didn't do anything.. Its really stupid, forget it!" She sighed.
"What, no, tell me!" I said indignantly.
"Well.. Before you came, Bro used to annoy me all the time, I used to be the centre of his attention at home.. And somehow since you came.. You know.." She said sheepishly.
"You were jealous of me?" I asked shocked. "But that's insane! Why would you be jealous of me?" I asked amazed.
"No its just, since you came, you became the centre of all his attention and pranks and all those things. He somehow annoyed you more, and well, then you both went off to Uni, so I just felt.. You know.. Left out!" She muttered, and I could tell she was embarrassed.
"Aww.. Rhe, I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to.. You know.. But how can you miss him annoying you? I would trade so much just to get rid of that!" I laughed.
"Would you, really?" She asked with raised eyebrows.
"Okay, no, I wouldn't be able to live without him annoying me, but.. I'm just so sorry!" I mumbled guiltily.
"You don't need to be sorry Ridz, its not like I still feel that way! And I love you a lot too!" She grinned.
"Rhe, Armaan adores you, you do know that right?" I asked, and she nodded. "And I know exactly how you feel, although our cases are different." I said sadly.
"I'm sorry Ridz, I didn't mean to remind you of that! I told you, I've just always been very..possessive I think..But at the same time, I'm insanely happy about how happy you both are! I've honestly never seen him this happy before!" She smiled.
"I know, even I would be possessive, who wouldn't!" I grinned. "Just don't feel that way, again, okay? Your Bro's always going to be your Bro, nothing's going to change that, not even me!" I said reassuringly.
"I know!" She smiled back. "Thanks Ridz!" She said hugging me. "Although, let me get this cleared, am I supposed to call you 'Bhabhi' or some weird stuff like that?" She asked me curiously.
"Do you see me as some sort of 'Bhabhi'? Do I look like one to you?" I asked sardonically.
"I'm glad we're on the same page!" She laughed and hugged me again.
At that precise moment we heard the door open, and Armaan walked in.
"Hey my two favorite people in the world!" He grinned and winked. "Hey kiddo!" He kissed the top of Rhea's head, and moved towards me, next. "Hey Munchkin!" He kissed my cheek, widening my smile. "Had a nice day, both of you?"
"Awesome!" I winked at Rhea who grinned back. "How was work?" I asked, as he sat next to me, pulling me to him. I looked at Rhea who just rolled her eyes at the PDA, whilst Armaan just didn't have a care of the world.
"Annoying! I have to do extra shifts at the hospital, and plus will have to work over time if I have to finish my portfolios in time!" He sighed sadly.
"Good you deserve it!" I said nonchalantly. He scowled. "Anyway, I'm off for a nap!" I declared.
"What? Riddhima, its just 8.30!" He said surprised.
"So? A girl can't sleep when she wants? Armaan stop bossing me around! I'll wake up for dinner!" I shrugged.
Armaan kept looking at me weirdly, whilst Rhea looked at me amused and surprised. I winked at her, and got up. But before I could grab my crutches, I felt Armaan picking me up.
"Armaan, what're you doing?" I sighed.
"I'm home now, you don't need these stupid crutches okay?" He muttered as he walked to his room and placed me on his bed. "Now, what is going on? Why the sudden need for a nap? You've snoozed the whole week!" He looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Nothing, I just felt like it! Go keep Rhea company, and call me for dinner, kay?" I said.
"Riddhima?" He asked. And I knew I had to tell him.
"I just feel that you should spend some time with Rhe.." I shrugged.
"She said something to you?" He frowned.
"Don't tell her I told you, but she just feels like an outsider in your life.. And I know better than anyone what it feels like to be abandoned. And she's got such a nice brother, she's bound to miss him!" I argued.
"Miss me? Riddhima what're you on about? Why would she feel abandoned?" He asked me confused.
"Because you don't spend much time with her anymore.. Which is true.. She misses you, and its normal for her to feel this way.. I totally empathize with her!" I mumbled.
"Munchkin, its okay, its not like its some very huge issue, I'll sort her out.. And don't blame yourself for this, just because I love you, doesn't mean I love her any less..She's my sister at the end of the day!" He said, caressing my cheek.
"Exactly.. So go, your sister needs you..Talk to her okay, you both must have so much to catch up on!" I urged him.
"Fine! And you don't worry about this, okay?" He kissed my forehead and I smiled and nodded. "And are you really going to sleep?" He asked me skeptically.
"No, you think? Just reading a book!" I winked as he kissed my cheek and got up to go.
"I'll call you for dinner, okay?" He smiled as he walked to the door. "And Munchkin?" He stopped at the door.
"Hmm?" I asked looking up from flipping the pages of my book.
"Thanks!" He grinned at me.
"For what?" I asked, frowning.
"For loving my sister like your own.." He said lovingly.
"Get out!" I rolled my eyes at his formal behavior, and returned to my book.
"And Munchkin?"
"What now, Armaan?" I looked back up at him, exasperated.
"I love you!" He winked at me, making me smile.
"I know, who doesn't, psht!" I shrugged and saw him roll his eyes. He shook his head and closed the door behind him as I whispered a small 'I Love You too'.
SHRUUU đ¤
Pehle toh, I missed youuu :D <3 Dher saara! I missed doing the countdown also :P Bet you missed it too đ Haan so finally my "surprise" is here. But before that -
Thread #7 :O Err may this FF never end and may you have 249730430 threads đ¤Ł
Regarding the surprise...I read the entire FF again for it so you better appreciate it đ¤Ł
Bas bas, thoda aur wait karo. Umm...so before you self-combust with anticipation...here you go:
Firstly, this is something I made :)
Now for the actual bit :P
The Top 7 Moments of A Walk On The Beach...
Erm one more thing. These moments are not in order of preference, they're in order of appearance in the FF. I mean, come on. Ek toh I have to choose SEVEN out 348739482 moments aur uss mein bhi order mein daaloon? A girl can only do so much *Sigh* 𤣠Okay, I'm done now đł
Part 3 - The Maggi Night: Okay, so I TOTALLY dig this part. Why, you ask? It's got nothing special, plot-wise but I love love love this part :D The whole thing was just so friggin' cutee! One of the first instances where I fell even more in love with M&P <3 The way he was so concerned and looked all worried because his Munchkin was crying made me go "Awww..." đł And he held her in his arms âşď¸ I know, uss time pe it was nothing romantic, but reading the story from start, made me notice so much more about it đ
And then ofcourse, the MAGIII :D LMAOO 𤣠You know just how much I love those maggi nights that Munchkin and Peanuts have! It's just their thing :D The whole kitchen bit where he's searching [so cutely, if I may add] for ingredients to something awesome like Pancakes but then they settle on Maggi and that has to be one of my favorite thing about M&P. Seriously. It's not like that Maggi night changed anything, like she suddenly developed feelings for Peanuts but still, the idea that he would cook for her itni raat ko is so âşď¸ So darn cute <3 So yes, the Maggi moment is my favorite :] And then if the maggi thing wasn't enough, he PICKED HER UP :D Weee <3 OMG that was so effing cute. And when I first read it, it was also DMG-ish. You know, Riddhima looking all pyaari while sleeping and he admires her [thoda sa ;)] and then picks her up and puts her on the bed *Sigh* SO. CUTE.
Hold it, beta. I'm not done with this point yet đ
There is another reason I adore this chapter. Jealousy. Yes, jealousy, jalan, whatever you call it :D If you don't remember then let me refresh your memory đ This is the part where Peanuts finds Aakash's [or as we know now, Krish's] photo under her pillow! And boy does jealousy strike! Peanuts is all weird with her the next morning :D And then blames it on a "passing mood". Bechaara is so cute :D <3 He feels so bad about that photo! And then he says sorry also. Woh bhi kitna cutely! Shuffling on his feet, looking down on the floor, et al. *Says dramatically* I knew then, that was officially in love with Armaan Peanuts Malik. đ¤Ł
Also, I'll have you know. This great, awesome, amazing, stupendous, fabulous, fantastic comment is being created while sitting on a beach chair with me looking at the beach, the sun on me, my iPod plugged in, and in Goa, while Enrique sings to me [courtesy of the iPod]. And now I feel like singing *Oh this is gonna be a good life, good life, good, good life* 𤣠Yeah. And I miss you guys so much even though it's only a day đ¤ But whatever, I'm having a blast đ Okay, so now that I'm done with making you feel jealous, moving on, where was I? Oh yeah Armaan saying sorry. Haan so about that, it was uber-cute :D
But then they fight again đ In the car. LMAOO 𤣠These two are so cute. The radio war. He's trying to make her talk while she won't say a word to him so he puts on a rock station when he gets no reply for what music she wants to listen to, and then they fight :D And then he almost hits some oldie as they're fighting to listen to the station of their choice 𤣠And she relents and smiles. Finally :D
And the he brings up the damn photo again đł Kitna stupid chhe 𤣠And they fight :P But then they make up when they stop for lunch at McDonalds :D Cute, it was <3
And phir he calls her hot đ˛ And she breaks her sandal and stuff and he protects her from gundas. All that's just so so so adorable. Sachi :D Ahh, I love these two :D
And Munchkin gets jealous too, of Andrea in the next part, but then Andrea features a lot in the coming parts so I won't focus on that, abhi đ LMAO I remember when Riddhima and Andrea had their first normal conversation. OMG I remember thinking - Haila, yeh kameeni toh achhi nikli 𤣠More on that later :P
Umm second most amazing moment. Err this isn't so much a moment as much as a part. Their Christmas before she leaves for India! It was so so so amazing! The way he made up after their fight, the way he apologized [again, so cute :D] and that charm he gave her [airplane waala], to symbolize their last Christmas, it was all so awesome <3 I loved how he cancelled his plans with Andrea "Angrez" Sinha [a la Munchkin đ ] and spent Christmas eve with Munchkin, decorating the Christmas tree! And then she fell while putting up the star and he caught her *Sigh* and then he fell on her :D And I bet Riddhima's heart was singing: Oh very happy in my heart, dil dance maare re đ¤Ł
And I went like - Oh come on! Confess already đ
And Imma include the mugging idharij. Yeah I know, it's not a happy at all but it changed so much for them! May I add though, that people who mug others should rot in hell where cockroaches pee on them. Yeah, that ain't much of an insult but hey, roaches peeing on you. Gotta be disgusting. Eww :P But yeah, the mugging changed a lot for them! Baad mein pata chala ki it even got Armaan to realize! But yeah, I loved how you portrayed it! And his eyes. Boy she was obsessed with the "change" đ Kaash pehle realize kar diya hota, it'd have saved her so much heartbreak đ¤Ł
And then that picture of M&P with cake on Armaan's face because she gave him a surprise for his birthday. That whole bit was so cute! <3 And she even saw him half naked, only in a towel. LOL I can totally imagine her face. And poor thing. She can't even ogle at that hot body. Tch 𤣠Aiite, done with this one! :D <3
Moving on to moment 3...any guesses? LOL I know you haven't got any so I'll just tell you :P
Strawberry moment đ Okay so it's part 15, when Riddhima's wearing that pretty blue dress for Nikki's engagement. So turns out Munchkin is looking edkum bootiphool 𤣠and as we come to know later, our hero, Armaan Peanuts Malik is completely fida on her, he tells her she looks "beautiful". Mind the usage of language. Not hot, not sexy. BEAUTIFUL :] I think that was the first time I thought that maybe, just maybe he likes/loves her! And then the strawberry moment, as I call it 𤣠He ate all the desserts in strawberry flavor...OMG just how cute can he get?? âşď¸ Aur phir he gave her lipgloss back saying, "I love Strawberries." Eeeks, I could totally imagine that :D For me that whole bit oozed chemistry and I fell even more in louuveee with Munchkin & Peanuts *Sigh*
So...moment number 4. It's not happy đ¤ It's the one at the end of Part 18 when M&P are on the beach after their Mumbai Yatra. It's not that big a moment, just that bit where they have a chhotu sa talk about how things would change. And it was so heartbreaking! Honestly, I almost teared up :| Ek toh he bought that valentine's waala chain for Andrea :( And then on the beach, when he asked her about her guy...shit. Inna sad tha :( But the saddest bit was when he said, he'll be with Andrea and she'll be with her guy so things won't be the same between them. It was just so...heartbreaking [for lack of a better word]! I mean come on, they're M&P! M&P!! You know, you just never expect the equation they share, to change. And at that time when we [the readers, that is!] actually thought Armaan and Andrea were together, it all felt so unreal! You see, whenever M&P are together, it's like...they're in their own world. Know what I mean? Like, a cocoon. It's like they don't need anyone else! And in a situation like that, you just cannot picture Andrea in that! She's a misfit! So yeah that bit made me particularly sad. But I loved how you wrote it. Not filmy, but rather pretty simple. Although, sad đ¤
Umm okay, I would be downright stupid if I didn't include this one. The confession. Haayyee...it was so perfect! From the gay t-shirt to Munchkin climbing the balcony, I loved, loved, loved the part! Honestly it was so amazing <3 And it had everything! Humor, romance, sab kuch :D And I felt like, laughing, crying, crying with laughter and saying "Awww..." all at once. And I tried [and failed miserably đ¤ ] to err keep a straight face because my parents were looking at me like I was mad...which I probably looked like. No one looks particularly intelligent while laughing/smiling/sighing at a laptop screen đ¤ 𤣠Just in case you've forgotten let me remind you: This great, awesome, amazing, stupendous, fabulous, fantastic comment is being created while sitting on a beach chair with me looking at the beach, the sun on me, my iPod plugged in, and in Goa, while Enrique sings to me [courtesy of the iPod]. And now I feel like singing *Oh this is gonna be a good life, good life, good, good life* đ¤Ł
And yes this bit was copy-pasted from earlier...I'm way too lazy to type it again 𤣠Err moving on...
Reasons why this part was perfect - THEY CONFESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Does a happy dance* YAYYY!!! And now I'm laughing. And telling my mum I'm reading a book, just in case she decides to admit me to a mental institution...which wouldn't be too bad if it was in Goa. I mean, it's Goa. I get side tracked way to easily đł But who cares, I'm your daily entertainment đ¤Ł
Yeah so the confession. Oh My God it was so so so so so so so so so AMAZING <3 <3 I absolutely adored it! Pehle toh I loved the way she made him pay. It'd have been a tad disappointing if she'd fallen right into his arms đ And just when I'm on Munchkin's side, saying - "Payback's a bitch, baby!" You make Peanuts get that rejection letter from Yale and he's so sad after that, that I completely melted đ¤ And so did Munchkin đ And then she climbed up the balcony 𤣠And it was so freakin' AWESOME *Barney style đ* All those little gestures of him pulling her back, hugging her from behind, everything was...perfect. And I'm big on "gestures". The little actions that people do unconsciously, I love those. Like how people hold hands, etc. I find these things cuter than dialogues/words. There's just something so adorable about stuff like that :P So I loved this part, because it had so many new gestures. Things that they wouldn't/couldn't have done before but can, now. And then the kiss <3 Yes dekhne ke liye meri aankhein taras gayi thi *strikes a dramatic pose* 𤣠LMAO no seriously, after all that heartbreak...I adored the kiss <3 And just like you said, big words aren't needed to describe it. It was just the most amazing thing :) <3
Number 6...okay this has to be Part 29!! I so loved that part, for obvious reasons :P The proposal. The proposal. OhMyGod it was beyond the realms of perfection [<< realms of perfection...nice phrase nai? 𤣠] I loved it to the T! The way he kidnapped her in her PJs, the date...the beach...the tent, sab kuch. It was P.E.R.F.E.C.T. And I'm sounding like a broken record but...mere paas aur koi word nahi hai đ
To be honest, I hate filmy stuff. No, really. But this didn't even seem that over the top or anything! It was natural. Something that you'd expect M&P to do <3 So yes, the date was fabulously done and as usual it made me want mera khud ka Peanuts đ¤ Seriously yah, you, Sanaa, Anku...you all make me want someone like that đ
Coming back to the part...I remember how there was a Munchkin vs Peanuts war on the thread! Most of the people were against Riddhima for refusing such a beautiful proposal. I wasn't đ I agreed with her! It's only been a week, how can you move in? Too many changes, too little time :P I'm not saying that they moved in too early, that's not the case. But it was expected of her to refuse, at that time. Baad mein after the talk with Nikki and Andrea and the way realization struck her at the airport, that was just right :D
Moving on... LMFAO they talked. They actually talked. Without a catfight đ˛ 𤣠Man, that moment when I realized Andrea wasn't actually such a bitch...priceless it was 𤣠She was actually nice in that part...make her end up with Sid đ
Okay I have no idea why I'm adding this here of all places but I have to say, rather write this abhi! "Do dil, ek jaan; Teen Riddhima, ek Armaan." LMFAOO 𤣠I saw it on one of the creations on a gallery I follow, and it totally cracked me up đ
Back to the part. I forgot to add this: I liked how you didn't stretch the issue! Ek hi part mein khatam! :) It was nice how they sorted it out, without any added drama! *Sigh* I love these two <3
And then the airport scene! Weee :D OMG that was uber-cute! Sachi <3 The whole thing, was so so so fantastic. I loved it to bits! And I remember that after that part, you'd posted an authors note saying that you could end the FF there. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING??????? How, just how can you end AWOTB :O Okay...so I know it was gonna end someday but not at that point! LMAO aisa hota toh you wouldn't get moment #7. And that's my cue to end this one :P
The next one definitely has to be the Vegas track. Man, I loved it! Obviously, it was full of those typical Munchkin-Peanuts moments we love, but more than that, I think the track brought a lot of depth in their relationship. Also, you wrote your first "hot" scene đ << Sheesh. The way I wrote that, makes it sound like you lost your virginity đ¤ ...Okay I'll shut up now đ¤Ł
Haan, so coming to the track, I think it was brilliant! To be honest, I'd always though Peanuts loved Munchkin more. I didn't hold it against her, after all he had 3 years to get used his feelings but this track changed my thinking! It brought out the love Munchkin has, for Peanuts! And when Peanuts was busy behaving like a first class asshole, you actually made people take Munchkin's side and hate on Peanuts :O Congratulations beta, for doing the impossible, your stepmother is proud of you đ¤Ł
And then the part where they made up was *Sigh* so amazing <3 Usske baad toh...full on cheese-fest for us đ Itniii *spreads her arms out* saari romantic cheezein đ The way he took care of her!! All those little [and big] things he did...from the grocery shopping to the childhood videos, everything. It was so amazing! I loved the whole part, but I'm partial to the parts where you showed the childhood M&P shared :) I've always wanted to see/read that :D And it exceeded my expectations! The whole Simba-Nala-Rafiki bit and the videos of them ballroom dancing when they were little! And when she was leaving he held on to her not wanting her to leave. Shit that was uber-cute :| And I love how you've handled the Krish bit in this FF :) It's done brilliantly! It's not filmy, its perfect! And I can imagine Krish too :D And I love him already LOL :D Coming to the part, I loved loved loved how he [Peanuts] was there for her throughout her breakdown regarding Krish. He didn't offer advice or even consolation. He was just there. And that's almost always, what you need :) So yes, it's safe to say this track has been a favorite of mine :D We got a mature Munchkin, a more understanding Peanuts and a better relationship between the two, hats off Shru! :D
Annnd...I'm done with this one :)
Basically, M&P=Awesomeness. And honestly, I don't even think of them as Armaan-Riddhima anymore, it's like they're a whole other couple đ Which is why, I've given you this fantastic comment đ And I've fed your ego enough for a lifetime, so you better feed mine đ¤Ł
There, done. Haila, comment itna lamba ho gaya? :O Just so you know, I didn't write this ridiculously humongous comment in one day. I mean, I know you think I'm brilliant, but there's only so much I can do. I wrote it bit by bit in Goa, every morning :D <3
Chal ab, batteesi dikhana bandh kar :P
I Love You <3 :*

Aanya
Wee! Thread 7 at last!
Seriously I have nothing much to say, which is a huge shock in itself because Water can stop flowing, air can stop blowing, but Neha can never stop mellowing!, with her words of course! (Poetic much, right?đ)
And after what Aanya and Anki have done/ are doing, this is probably just not that special đ¤ but who am I kidding, I can't stop blabbering can I?
I've already said a lot of things, praised you, made fun of you, commented crazily but at the end of the day, the entire eccentrically insane list just summarizes to one sentence- I LOVE AWOTB.
Everything in this story seems surreal. I know people keep saying and probably even I've said how everything seems real but coming to think about it, it isn't.
It isn't like I'm some great personality(As much as I wish I wasđł) but I've read hundreds of stories on this forum and only some have touched the chords. NO kidding. I hate sucking up to people and I hate people who do that but this one is true.đTWOS (Of course, any AR fan would be crazy about it), Mr and Mrs Mallik, A lot like love and AWOTB. << There you go!
I am not saying that other FFs aren't awesome or anything, heck, they are too good to be true, but for me, those were the only ones when I could cry when the protagonists do, laugh with them, laugh at them, blush profusely reading about them, that's all. :) I know I'm crazy but that's how I am. Reaching the point when a story has it completely under its thumb is not easy I guess, and just because AWOTB did it, I am crazy about it.
I think I've already said it, but just for the sake of it, one of the best things about the story is Riddhima. She is crazy, my 'galtiyon ka pitara'đ¤Ł, but I <3 her. She is just as naughty, as dramatic, as whiny, as childish, as abnormal as I am.đ And keeping in mind that I am in love with myself, I am in love with her too. Unlike other stories, she is imperfect here. She is just a regular girl with ballistic whims and fancies, but contrary to regular girls (read: me), she has the special someone who fulfills them. đ¤
And the special someone is like I said in the earlier thread, my checklist for my knight in shining armor.âşď¸ I don't know if I'll find someone as perfect as him, but that doesn't stop a girl from dreaming can it?
Your English (the way I like it), the classic romance, the un-scary characters and just the way AWOTB is, everything is perfect. Riddhima, the bone head, Armaan, the enigma, Rhea, the loudmouth, Nikki, the chatterbox, everyone is special to me because they are a part of AWOTB or AWOTB is special because all of them?đ¤ I dunno, I think you would!đ
I've got a ton to say but I think I've already said all of that in the earlier thread and you know it all, don't you? You've got people asking you to turn AWOTB into a book; I guess that explains all the love you have behind the scenes.
People, you say, find you scary and annoying (I agree to that a bit!đ), but I will be the first one to condescend them, I swear.đĄ You're just a normal teenager who for me is a reflection of me. We already agreed that we would be soul-mates if we were born in the opposite sexes but sigh!đľThat didn't happen. So well, personality twin hi sahi!đ¤Ł
I am so glad to have met you writing this wonderful fic and seriously between the entire journey of the past thread, filled with crazy humor and spamming, I didn't realize you would become such an awesome virtual friend.đ¤ (I'm not gonna say "family", that reminds me of the Blog people!! đ¤ŁCrazy people I tell you!)
My comment may not be awesomely long or special and especially after the awesome comments ahead, but I guess you'll read what I want to say between the lines. :)
All I can say is- Now when I'm sad, I'm gonna have Midnight Maggis, when I am sad, I'm gonna watch Lion King, when I have cramps I'm gonna eat cupcakes, when I'm gonna think of siblings, Rhea's gonna be the first one I think of. đ
Call me crazy, call me fanatical about AWOTB, this journey with M & P and You has been one of the most memorable insight to a world which I wish I could live in reality. I'm probably never gonna meet you in reality or face-to-face, but cross my heart, and hope to die, pointed needle in my eye, if you ever need someone to relieve you off your worries and make your day, tell me.
I don't know what I mean to you or to the thousands out there, but for me, you and AWOTB are going to remain special, so special that instead of typing up lab reports due next class, I rather type up comments for you!đ
And since you said it, Good luck with putting up five chapters on this thread, though with all the spamming we do, I don't think you'll really be able to do so, unless you start updating like Superwoman.đ¤Ł
BTHE is also waiting for your darshan and don't worry, in case you forget about it, I'm always there to spam it and remind you and all the others who can pester you to update!đđ
Your Bimbette,
Bisous,
Neha
P.S: I remember last time I said Read it and weep? This time I won't because this really isn't anything special but I need a reply okay?đ¤
And I know you're gonna have hundreds of threads before the story finishes, especially keeping in mind the ratio of rate of your updates and my spamming, they aren't too far away, so probably I'll give a kick-ass comment next time.đ¤Ł
Finally if I come up with something awesome to say, I'll edit it later.đ
I <3 You!!đ¤
So what more can I say besides a CONGRATS!!! Goshh..I really am speechless..and with you..of all people!!! I really am not surprised that AWOTB has reached thread 7..it has had AMAZING demand from oh SO many readers and why not..after all you deserve that at the leastâŚI'm sure Munchkin and Peanuts will continue ruling everyone's hearts..and be the epitome of a real life fairytale couple..and YES I like them more than Sleeping beauty and her prince charming..and Cinderella and HER Prince Charming..(partly because at least Munchkin's prince charming has a NAME I know!!! LOL!!) SO basically..I'm sure even you have to open a thread 10..which I'm sure you will very soon..there will be no surprises there either..!! :D
But I also want to add that I've known you since.. oh it feels like AGES!! And ever since the blog days..(which both of are not part of now..thankfully I might as well add..at least we're saved from the embarrassment..) where we both used to chant Armaan Riddhima 24/7 and post our fan fictions..and comment like crazy especially on each others..I LOVEE how you've grown as a writer..!! And I'm no great writer or international author myself that I'm giving you this compliment..but as someone who has watched your writing from the very first day it seems..you have come sooo far..!! And I'm sure being the amazing person you are..you always look for ways to improve and one day..I am certain that I'll buy a novel by Shrutika (dunno ur second nameâŚ:S) and it will be a bestseller..!! :D Ok..thoda sa zyaada senti hoagayya..esp than what I expected it to be..!! :O But honestly..come straight forward..your writing has so much depth in it.. the charisma..the being..the style..the emotions of every character that ooze out of your writing make your audience love each and every person in AWOTB..and I am not joking..We all adore Munchkin..Peanuts...Rhea..Nikki..Andrea to that extent..and a character I thought I'd despise for the rest of my life because of his sheer name..Sid..!! Obv it was later on I came to terms with my feelings and actually liked Sid for who he was..well..before the whole Siddhima fiasco anyway..!!
And I love how so not perfect you've made the main characters..it is so relatable and probably that's why I love the story even more! They are the every day couple..(well..Armaan isn't the everyday sort of guy..else all the girls in the world wouldn't be sitting and daydreaming here about him..!!) that fight..that have their insecurities..that have their fun..that love Lion King..Well Riddhima does..that argue over Harry Potter..but above that..love each other to the core of their being..and well..you know that despite everything..they'll survive through..though like all couples they will have their trying times I'm sure..
Back to the blog..Shru..you were one of the only writers in the blog..(there were a couple more too) that brought their stories alive..!! I used to despise people who didn't type their words carefully..I mean..if it's a story..at least they could make that much effort and not write as though they were sending a text message..and it used to irk me to no ends..!! But then with AWOTB and BTHE..then known as DJDW..you just had me hooked on to both your stories in no time..!! And I mean it when I say that you have come so far..(I know I'm saying it again but it needs emphasis) where you make even the simplest story..like old best friends being apart..coming back together and after some time realizing their love for each other..a beautiful prem katha jo har ek insaan isme khoya huwa rehta hai..and that I'm saying it from experience because recently I've been coming online through my phone..and I literally locked myself up in my room for a good 20 mins to read the whole of day 6 and 7 all together..in one go..in detail!! And that's saying a lot..because I'm kinda losing interest in AR..(heck who isn't?? But NOT Armaan..or KSG for that matter..) and hence my sort of writers block when it comes to updating LOOC..!! :S But don't worry..DMG has a repeat telecast..or so I heard..and if I watch it..who knows..the charm may come back..?? I miss waiting for something desperately on the TV!! *Sigh*
After saying I'm speechless..looks like I've given you a whole lecture and I still haven't managed to express my genuine happiness for seeing AWOTB on thread 7..!! Well..in short..AWOTB has been an AWESOME story..and it has an AWESOME writer..then why the hell wouldn't it be one of the BEST fan fictions I've read?? It is...I used to adore TWOS the MOST..but now..AWOTB has definitely taken its place..!! And you have yourself to congratulate for it..!! :D
I wish you many more thread of this..but more than that..I wish you loadz more threads of BTHE!! You always knew I loved it and adored it more than AWOTB..;)
CONGRATS once again..!! I'm waiting desp for a further update of BTHE more than AWOTB..So once I'm free..Spamming on that will start againâŚ!! :D
Oh and before I sign off⌠I LOVE your siggy on Matt Lanter..!! It's Superb..!! :D
Love AWOTB and BTHE always..;)
Sanaa x
