This is Life#2--AR ff part 27A-B pg 111( 04/26/13) - Page 29

It's been a few days since nikki has entered the Malik house and it seems as if she is the controller because everyone goes to her if they have any problems and everyone keeps phasing her. She is also starting to make Riddhima feel suffocated in the house because nikki keeps on making Riddhima feel as if she doesn't know anything, especially about Armaan. nikki is always around Armaan and Riddhima can't tolerate that. So to try to show who's the boss she makes breakfast for everyone.

Ra: yummy bhabhi this smells so good.. and he calls everyone down.

Armaan who was going to work without eating was stopped by Anni and told to have something before he leaves.

A: im not hungry..

Ra: Bhai at least have an apple.. you know what they say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away".

A: really then I should take this whole basket so this doctor ( points at Riddhima) can stay away from me

Atul: Armaan! that's so rude.. Ridzi Armaan is just joking… he doesn't really mean that right Armaan ( gives him a killer look)

Riddhima softly smiles trying to hide her tears and hurt that she got from Armaan's comment.

AR bed room

Riddhima is wiping her eyes, while motivating her self to take it one step at a time and not to take Armaan's comments to the heart.

Chill Ridzi y are you crying like a dam baby Armaan has said so many mean things to you. It never effected you then so why now. And please don't lose your cool because you have to make friends with him, so u must keep your emotions and anger in check. Its like they say in order to achieve something one must fall many times. And Riddhima gupta always achieves what ever she wants. She walks to Armaans picture and says…. Armaan say all the hurtful and ignorant things you want but for how long will you run away from relationships, feelings, and responsibilities. One day you will come around and I will be waiting till that day.

Hospital

all the young staff members are giving flower and roses to each other and everything is very lively as Riddhima walks along the corridors of the hospital thinking to her self what's so special about today that everyone is so jolly and that to in a hospital. Usually hospitals are very serious and boring place but today it seems as if everyone has forgotten their sorrows and are just enjoying life.

She walks in to the canteen to find muski sitting there eating away her sandwich.

R: hey muski, what is happening in the hospital today why is everyone so happy?

Mu: takes a bite of her sandwich and says arre don't you know today is friendship day yaar so everyone is giving each other flowers and roses and being friendly.

R: realization strikes her… oh ye today is friendship day how can I possibly forget.

Mu: hmm…. But Ridzi you know what its 11am and non of the stupid people or staff members have given me a rose I mean how cruel naa. If I was in Paris or Patiala then I would of gotten a whole bouquet of rose's but over here not a chance.

R: smiles at the cute pout on muski's face. Awe muski don't worry I will give u a rose. ( picks up the rose that's in a vase and gives it to muski )

Mu: ridziii… yaar, your so not cute.

Anjie: hey guys what's happening over here.

R: hi dii ( side hugs her) nothing I gave my love filled rose to muski and she rejected it. says in a sad tone

Mu: cause I want it from someone else… you know maybe a hot dashing guy not you. Ur already my friend dumbo.

Anjie: she has a point Ridzi… today is a grate day to make new friends I mean they cant even say no cause its friendship day. Its just perfect.

Riddhima was already trying to formulate a plan to become friends with Armaan, she found the best idea after listening to her di say it's the best day to make new friends and they cant even say no. she slams the table and says PERFECT… anjie and muski who were engrossed in an conversation look at Riddhima and give her the your wired look. Riddhima ignores the looks and takes her leave from the table to start her AFM (Armaan friendship mission).

Riddhima reaches home early and asks kaka if Armaan is home or not.

Kaka: nahi but he should be here in a few minutes.

R: oh ok…

Riddhima is in the room pacing from one way to another… just then Armaan enters the room and stares at her…

Your home early today... says Armaan as he walks past her.

R: really you noticed how nice ( says in a whisper)…. Hi…. How was your day? ( asks in a very excited tone)

A: your wired.. and why are you sooo happy today.

R: that's not the answer to my question…

Armaan looks at her for a while trying to figure out if something is wrong with her… he walks up to her and feels her forehead to check if she is suffering from a high fever, then he shows her his fingers and asks her to identify how many fingers he is holding up… but everything seems normal with Riddhima… this is wired she's not sick nor is she drunk then y is she so happy. Are you sure you're Riddhima?...

R: ha ha very funny. Yes I am Riddhima Riddhima gupta.

uh huh… Armaan why are you behaving so weirdly?

A: me im behaving weirdly ( he snorts she's out of her mind ) and he starts to look around in the room for something.

Armaan was looking under their bed and so she also gets down beside him and asks what are you looking for? Armaan hits his head on the bed because of the sudden appearance of Riddhima beside him... ouch!!!!…..Im looking to see if you have hidden any cameras or bombs in this room. I mean you have been acting so nice towards me from a few days now. So you know I need to make sure. ( says rubbing his head to ease the pain)

R: what.. you think im trying to kill you?.. how can you even say that. ( asks in a dramatic voice)

A: no camera or bomb… turns towards Riddhima.. ok what's the catch

R; what do you mean…

A: you know what I mean.

R: if I did I wouldn't ask says in a playful tone.

A: breaths in and out… ok lets see I will give you an example ok.. when ever Rahul wants something from me naa he always does theses kinds of things he get super excited and starts talking to me making conversation when its clearly written on my face im not interested. And then he finally tells me that oh Bhai I want this or that. So tell me what do you want. Why are you being so nice towards me. I swear we are sworn enemies. So why the nice act hmmm?

R: feels offended… that's mean. And anyways you have one thing right, I do need something from you. And smiles big.

A: No…

R: frowns but I didn't even ask you yet.

A: do you remember the talk we had on our 1^st night… you do what u want and I do what I want… Riddhima nods her head … good well in there I clearly said don't ask me for permission to do anything and vice versa.

R: But who said im asking your permission… at least hear me out before wasting your breath.

A: sighs… fine what it is.

R: good. So I was just thinking you know about us and this whole marriage and everything. And I think we just started of at the wrong foot. I mean if you think practically naa then we have a whole life ahead of us and if we keep fighting and annoying each other then we will both kill each other for sure one day so I thought that we should just grow up and stop all this childish fights and things and become friends. Cause we are going to live under the same roof all our lives and I say if we become friends then life and time will go by very smoothly and nicely. So will you become my friend ( extends her hand towards him)

Armaan looks at the girl sitting in front of him and bursts out laughing…. Ahahahhahahahahaha… friends and us… hahah.. I always knew you had a different way of humour but this I did not expect. Your good nice joke really. The highlight of my day… and continues laughing.

Riddhima is fuming with anger but she controls it god knows how. I was not joking . im serious.

A: stops laughing and says… look us and friends are a big NO so stop wasting your and my time .

R: but Armaan. y not? I mean you have such useless friends if u become my friend naa I will be so much better then those useless friends of yours.

A: u talk as if u know them. And they are not useless don't forget your dear sister is my friend as well im sure she wont be happy to hear that. Grins at her.

R: rolls her eyes. Ur so evil you should be banished from this planet.

A; ohhoho im so scared. And FYI earlier you said that we have to stay under the same roof for all our lives.. WRONGGG.. I will make sure to kick you out of this house in less then 6 months and that's my promise to you. Smiles and walks to the dresser.

R: meany. Just as Riddhima was about to walk out the room defeated with her mission another idea struck her. Armaan if you don't say yes then I will go to mom dad and mama and papa and tell them how you torture me, how you're so rude, and that you are planning on kicking me out of this house, and many other things which will surly get you killed.

A; you wouldn't…

R: oh yea… smirks at him and runs out the door yelling MOM DAD….

Armaan rushes behind her to stop her from blabbing her big mouth open.

Mom dad, where are you I need to tell you something.

Billy: where right here Riddhima what's wrong? What do you want to tell us?

R: well… trying to catch her breath. Armaan is…..

Just as she was about to tell Billy and Anni about her and Armaan, Armaan comes and covers her mouth with his hands.

A: nothing dad, Riddhima just wanted to tell you guys that she misses her home and that she wants to go and stay there for a little while but she was to scared to tell you that.. right Riddhima looks at a struggling Riddhima in his arms.

R: mmm….

A: what?

Anni: Armaan let go of her she cant breath…

Oh sorry and lets Riddhima go but before she can speak up. He tells her some useful information. Listen im ready to be your friend but just don't tell them please or else both of us will be doomed. Riddhima looks up and find pure honesty in his eyes and so she smile and nods her head.

Anni: what is there to ask in that Riddhima of course you can go and stay at your parents house, its your house after all. You can go when ever you want and as long as you want. Riddhima smiles to this. Anyways when are you planning on going.

Tomorrow, next week both Armaan and Riddhima say at the same time.

R: next week mom im thinking of going next week

A: are you sure? I mean y wait just go tomorrow.

R: papa is gone out on a conference and so I will GO next week…. Do you have a problem Armaan? gives him a deadly glare.

A: no no me and problem psst never… smiles cheekily at everyone and goes to his room with Riddhima following him.

R: you're such a liar. ( once inside the room)

A: what?

R: y did u tell them I wanted to go home. I never told you I wanted to so then y did u lie to them?

A: I thought you missed you're family that's y I said that. But I guess someone doesn't miss them.

R: I do but still, that doesn't mean you have to lie you know.

A; be happy with what you get in this house. Or soon you will be complaining that you don't get anything and will start nagging at me.

R: humph. Well at least you agreed, and I get to go home, so that's two goods in one day so I have no regrets. smiles

A: I had to agree you left me with no choice. Says with a sad face.

R: awe don't worry I promise not to irritate you that much. And plus who ever is my friend always tells me and others that im the best friend anyone can ever have.

A: we will see about that… im sure your friends are just trying to be nice to you that why they say that to you other wise who would think a irritating person like you is a good friend.

R: makes a face, I knew you wouldn't believe me. But you know the 1^st step to friendship is trust and if you cant trust my word right now then what will happen later?

A: who cares…. Just as Armaan was about to say more Rahul barges in the room

Ra: bhabhi your leaving? He asks with a frown on his face and sits on the bed.

R: sits beside him. Im not leaving who told you that.

Ra: mom and dad were talking and I over heard. Why are you leaving though? Don't you like it here? I thought you did.. and you still have to teach me how to make your famous chocolate cake and all the other things u promised me, andd…..

R: Riddhima smiles. Rahul im not leaving for ever im going to go visit my family for a few days and come back, so don't be sad ok, and I live 15mins away from this house so you can come see me when ever you want.

Ra: really!...awesome me and Bhai will both come.

A; who said im going to associate my self with any of this…

R+Ra at the same time He/I did… and both start laughing.

Armaan looks at the bonding between Riddhima and Rahul and for the first time he genuinely smiles at how closely they are bonded and how easily they can talk to each other. Maybe she' right, she gets along well with everyone maybe her friends do tell her she's a good friend to have, and smiles seeing both Riddhima and Rahul agreeing on something and laughing away.

Armaan listens in their conversation and Rahul is telling Riddhima about the next business deal they are going to make with there clients and Riddhima is offering some ideas on how to present the deal, that would benefit their company as well as the other one.

A: how do you know all of this? Both Riddhima and Rahul looks at him….

R: know what?...

A: the world of business.. your a doctor then how do you know all of this.

R: ohhh… well you see I took several classes in the marketing and economics subjects when I was in school and so I know the basics about business and entrepreneurs.

Ra: whispers in Armaans ear… I told you she's smart.

Armaan nods his head.. then how come you never give me these ideas? And here you are showering your knowledge on him and slaps Rahul's head.

R: Armaan! stop hitting him. And I never gave you any ideas cause your such a snob and when ever I try to tell you something you always either say so? Or go away or shut up or NO… that's why I give my ideas to Rahul and smiles at him.

Ra: yea Bhai your so snobbish….

A: kya!!!!! You think im a snob… stop speaking under her influence.

Ra: am not.. u are a snob

A: tu ajj gaya… and pins Rahul on the bed and starts to play fight with him.

Riddhima is pleased to see the bonding between the 2 brothers it reminds her of the times with her sister and friends. …

R: she makes ouch faces when Armaan slaps or hits Rahul. Ummm… tell me when your done im going down stairs.

Ra: bhabhi im dieing here … and ..you.. are… going .. to leave.. me..wi..with him… help at least. (says struggling)

R: right…. Armaan let him go… its not his fault u cant take a bit of reality. You're a snob so obviously we will call you that naa…

A: lets Rahul go and walks towards Riddhima… I am not a snob. Riddhima gulps and walks backwards trying to escape and just as Armaan was about to hold her hand Rahul pushes Armaan out of the way.

Ra: no one hurts my bhabhi you hear that… are you ok bhabhi?

R: smiles and says of course.

A: bhabhi ka chamcha, that's what you are.

R: we can't help it if your jealous Armaan really… makes a pity face and both Rahul and Riddhima walk out the room laughing and high-fiveing each other, leaving behind a shocked Armaan.

To be continued

Instalment 2

At night time the next day

Riddhima is packing her bag early so when the time comes to leave for home she doesn't have to rush. she has gathered all her important things and is looking for a bag. She finds one on top of her closet but she cant reach it. She looks for a stool but she cant find that either so she gets up on her toes and tires to reach it one more time, just then she feels someone hand right on top of hers grabbing the bag of her.. and its non other then Armaan. ( ok guys put on you're imagination cap LOL)

Armaan entered the room and saw Riddhima struggling to reach the bag that was on top of the closet so he goes behind her and grabs the bag for her, however while trying to get the bag his hand brushes against Riddhima's. Armaan at once drops the bag on the floor because as soon as he touched Riddhima's hand a cold shiver ran down his spine, which caused him to freeze, Riddhima slowly turns around and looks at Armaan, and at once both get caught in a eye lock. Riddhima is stuck between the closet and Armaans strong hold. Both Armaan and Riddhima look in each others eyes and are so lost that neither Armaan nor Riddhima realize that both are standing so close to each other and their noses are almost about to touch. Both are trying to search for something in each others eyes, maybe love, or each others souls? ... a stand of hair falls on Riddhima's forehead which annoys Armaan so he slowly brings his hand forward and gently put the stand of hair behind Riddhima's ear. To which unknowingly Riddhima turns pink around the cheeks. Armaan is still fully dwelled in her eyes while Riddhima tries to get away from his strong hold. She just realized that his face is so close to hers and so she looks the other way blushing to her self, with her eyes lowered to the floor. And she gently whispers…. Armaan let me go. Armaan realizes how close both of them were standing and so he swiftly moves back which increases the space between both of them. Armaan starts to move backwards with his eyes still focused and watching each and every move of hers. He stops and says something that shock's both Riddhima and him self.

A: you have gorgeous eyes. To which Riddhima's head jolts up in surprise. Before Riddhima could say something Armaan rushes in the washroom to think over what just happened and to escape the awkward situation.

As soon as Armaan steps in the washroom Riddhima release's her breath that was stuck in her throat from the close proximity with Armaan. she turns around and looks at the mirror. She find her face totally drenched in the colour red which makes her smile and lower her eyes once again. She picks up the bag that was dropped by Armaan and starts to pack her bag. Thinking only about Armaan and his actions.

Did he really say all that? I mean he complimented me… I thought only sour words came out of his mouth when he is talking to me but did he really say I have beautiful eyes? As Riddhima hears his voice in her head her emotions once again show up on her face leaving it red and a cute smile appears on her lips. Nearly done packing and still thinking about Armaan and his slow changing behaviour Riddhima gets full confident that she will make Armaan see the positive sides of life and not just the negative outcomes.

Now Armaan was stuck in the washroom for quite a while now he was trying to figure out what happened outside and why it happened. Dude did you just compliment her I mean she's Riddhima how can you compliment her? Aur why did you drop the bag as soon as your hand touched hers what was all that about? Im sure now she thinks your so weak that you couldn't even lift the bag properly. Idiot you are a true idiot. Yells his mind, while Armaan is pacing from one end of the washroom to the next. Sigh… I cant even go out there because she's in the room… seriously I am an idiot. Im not suppose to compliment people I am the evil and mean person that she call me. He walks to the mirror and says to him self, you will not compliment her, nor look at her, nor be nice to her. Keeps repeating that as if a mantra. But one thing that is still unclear is the question WHY? … maybe you like her Armaan... a voice comes from his heart. Armaan looks up at the ceiling and thinks me and like?... naaa.. Armaan Malik has put walls around him self so high that no feelings could ever touch him or even come close to him. Im sure it was just me being an idiot and nothing more and finally steps outside in the room to find it completely empty. This is wired where did she go.. he checks the balcony but she is no where to be found, he breaths in relief and lies down on the bed. Call it his badkismati or good fate that he was not getting any relief at all he kept on thinking about her. He walks up to the window and stares at the moon trying to get her out of his mind.

Since the room door is open both Rahul and nikki come in to see Armaan staring out the window which he never does.

Ni: oye what happened to you? Your staring at the moon, your ok naa?

Ra: yea Bhai is everything ok?

Armaan just nods his head, what are you guys doing here this late.

Ni: we were bored so we went out for a walk and were just coming back.

Ra: yea Bhai you should of joined us we asked Bhabhi where you were before we left and she told us you were in the washroom from quite awhile.

A: ugh.. yeh I was taking a shower that's why.

Ra: oh ok…

A: looks towards the door.. so umm where is Riddhima is she down stairs or?

Ni: ohhh…. So that's why he is so glum Rahul are you understanding now she says and walks to the bed to join Rahul.

Ra: nikki you found out now I knew from so long that this was happening.

A: what? What is happening? Nikki what are you talking about?

Ni: ammy don't be shy yaar, we know your missing your sweet wife ( wifey that's what he calls her) says Rahul in the middle. Ohhh wifey huh… so cute ( smiles) so yeh we know your missing your sweet wifey that's why you are sad but don't worry she will be back.

A: gives both of them a deadly glare. I am not missing anyone, and frankly I don't care.

Ra: ya right Bhai I know your missing her just admit it you will feel better and winks at him.

A: shut up both of you… and out of my room now.. im tired go right now… and point towards the door.

Ni: stop being so rude… we can stay here if we want and plus wifey aint coming back till morning so I don't know why you are putting us out of your room.

A: what do you mean she's not coming back till the morning where did she go?

Ra: nikki did u see the change of color or bhai's face.. asks with a playful grin… and FYI bro bhabhi had to go to the hospital because one of her patient is very serious.

A: oh ok ( says in a sad tone)..but still both of you leave im tired and I want to sleep.. and pushes Rahul and nikki out of the room before they could say anything more.

All through out the night Armaan tires to sleep but cant sleep because his sleep is being invaded with two big green eyes. He twists and turns chanting to sleep and not think about her. and eventually falls asleep.

Next morning

Once again Rahul and nikki are pulling Armaans leg, while Armaan is trying to read his file.

A: will you two shut up… your so annoying.

Ni: ya ya… Rahul shut up let Ammythink about Riddhima. And winks at Rahul.

A: exactly ( Armaan says without paying attention).

Both Rahul and nikki burst out laughing. And continue there teasing session.

Hospital

Riddhima makes her way to the cafeteria before she goes home. She finds muski at her usual spot eating away. Hey muski what's up? ( asks in a cheerful voice) Muskaan looks at Riddhima, why are you so happy, I heard you were here all night trying to save someone's life and your still this happy… chakkar kya hai? Muskaan what's wrong with you why do you always turn easy questions in to difficult ones. I cant be happy, do you have a problem with that? ( asks grabbing the juice from muski's hand and helping her self).

Mu: nahi nahi.. be happy, smile, I was just asking… your never this happy early in the morning. So I was just wondering you know ( winks).. if something or should I say someone special sent you a msg or something.

R: oh yes, Sid msged me.. he was just asking how everything is going and all… smiles to her self

Mu: leh.. here im taking about someone else and you are thinking about someone else… arre stupid im talking about Armaan… how is he, you still have to give me some juicy info about him. According to my hearing I heard he is a Greek god. So spill some beans.

Riddhima blushes at the mention of Armaan's name because last nights happenings appear in front of her eyes. Muski tu bhi naa. Why are you so interested in Armaan, he married and that to with me. So you can't have him even if you want to so sweetheart back off. ( says in a jealousy filled tone)

Mu: who said I want him you can keep him, I just want to meet him yaar. I've been here for so long now and I still have not met my best friends hubby ( and pouts)…

R: maybe god is playing tricks with you cause he knows that after you see him you will not be able to keep you eyes and hands off of him. And plus you have been here for not even two weeks. ( she laughs and starts to walk away).. bye got to go home.

Mu: haan haan, go. And god is not playing tricks. And im sure even if I want him you wont let me have him seeing your behaviour right now shows how you would react if some girl even got 2 inches close to him. You would surly rip her apart. A Jealous queen that you are.

R: I love you too muski and leaves the hospital. Riddhima finds her self unusually happy today and she thinks for the possible reasons as to why she would be so happy. Hmm it must be because my patient is saved and stable now, of course that has to be the reason what else could it be. She hums and sings to her self while driving home. Upon reaching home she finds nikki and Armaan sitting on the sofa side by side, intently looking and laughing at something. She goes closer and sees that both are looking at their old pictures. She looks over nikki's shoulder and she's the pictures which leaves her turning all shades of green. (apparently the pictures were from a collage party where Armaan is giving nikki a piggy back ride and the 2^nd picture is where nikki is kissing Armaan cheek). Thinks in her mind (if they do all this in public then I wonder what they do when they are alone.. she imagines nikki and Armaan in a very intimate situation and yells NNooo very loudly. By this time both nikki and Armaan turn around and look at Riddhima…

Ni: are you ok Riddhima? Are you hurt or something ( she asks concerned)

Riddhima snaps out of her crazy dream land and shakes her head indicating in a no.. no nikki everything is fine… smiles sheepishly and walks upstairs as fast as she could.

A: I told you doctors are wired. ( looking in the direction Riddhima went in)

Ni: Ammy you just need a reason to start looking for faults. Why don't you try seeing what's on the inside of a person instead of just what's on the outside and what they do. ( and walks away in anger)

A: ok correction, I told you girls are wired. And sits on the sofa looking at the remaining pictures.

The first thing Riddhima does is rinse her face with ice cold water and tries to reason with her crazy head. What is wrong with me why am imagining things. Armaan's not like that right? Or is he?... is he the type of person to play with peoples emotions and take advantage of girls?... slaps her head what are you thinking. Of course he's not like that, he is insensitive but he's not that outdated to hurt people like that. You should be punished for even thinking like that Ridzi.. your so stupid. Slaps her head again and mutters to her self and walks out of the bathroom.

A: did you always talk to your self or is today a special day?..

R; whaa.. what?... ( she didn't no Armaan was also in the room)… I.. I don't talk to my self. I was just thinking.. yeh I was em thinking loudly.

A; smiles to she the nervousness on her face. You don't know how to lie very well either.

Both Riddhima and Armaan bump in to each other while going to the closet. Ouch… both hold there head in pain.

A: why are you girls always in a hurry. Says rubbing his head.

R; because you boys are so lazy and slow so we have to be in a hurry.

A: peace, ok no war. Its to early in the morning. Says putting his hands up in surrender. But one thing I must ask is why are you girls so wired?

R: what do you mean?...

A: I mean nikki… she just blasted at me cause I said a simple sentence. I mean do you girls get these moods in a day that activates and sends a signal to your brains to blast at the person in front of you? Or are you just born with it?

R: ugh no we just blast at someone when ever we feel like it. As well guys don't dare to mess with us unless they want to die. Smiles and walks to the washroom with Armaan following her.

A; die? What do you mean?... you guys cant possibly hurt us?

R: not physically but emotionally and mentally we can. And that's enough to get you guys on the right track. Smirks to see a confused Armaan and closes the door on his face.

A: not physically but emotionally and mentally.. how though?... scratches his head and walks to the window. The sad part is that she's as confusing as nikki is.. or even more confusing.. it's going to take a while to figure this one out ( referring to Riddhima).

Rahul enters the room to find a confused Armaan .. everything ok?...

A: Armaan jumps in fear… what the hell are you doing sneaking up on me like that?

R: tries to hide his laugh… ugh… well you see. I just came to ask if were all going in the same car or are you coming to work later?

A: so you sneak up on me like that? Holds his racing heart. What if I died.

R; you wont die im sure bhabhi would of saved you. She wouldn't let you die…

A: leave.. go to work I will come later leave… out of my room… if you want to talk about your bhabhi you do that in front of her, not me… bhabhi ka chamcha…Armaan manages to push Rahul out and close the door and just as he was about to turn Riddhima says what are you doing by the door? Once again Armaan jumps in fear…

A: slowly turns around… why are you and Rahul after my life today?... you two need to stop sneaking up on me like that… what if my heart fails and I die.

R: then you die… what more. And walks to the dresser.

A: what do you mean?... how can you say that I die so I die what more? Walks behind her.

R: what else do you want me to say? I don't know what happens when a person dies… sorry… and turns around to find something in the closest.

A: you mean to say you wont be sad or upset if I die. I mean who would you argue with if I die?... asks with his hands on his hips.

R: turns around… ohhh… you mean in that way… mmm I would be a little sad but then I would surly find someone else. No big deal. And turns around again.

A: jaw falls to the floor hearing Riddhima's talks. You would find someone else. How can you even think that, hell im still alive.

R: you're a drama queen. Now stop acting and go get dressed I don't think dad gave you a day off today. And hands him his outfit of the day.

A: humph. Insensitive people in this house.

R: laughs to her self shaking her head.

A: ugh… Riddhima… what is this yaar, you already know I hate this stupid suits and tie's and still you make me wear this. Armaan whines as he walks to her.

R: you are the CEO of the company you need to look professional ok.. I cant possibly let you be a fashion disaster. I mean I wouldn't be able to face the world if I let you choose your clothes. That's why im going to choose for you from now on. Smiles to Armaan.

A: you talk as if you know so much about fashion. Why did you want to be a fashion designer or something before you became a crazy doctor?

R: for the matter of fact yes I did. But then things happened and I changed my mind and so I became a doctor. And why are you worrying are you forgetting that I know how to tie tie's I would gladly tie them for you. So stop whining like a two year old.

A: of course you would gladly, tie them… you like to get close to me. I knew it from the day I saw you at the park.

R: kya? That I know how to tie ties? Smirks at him.

A: ha ha you're so funny. No I knew that you were trying to hit on me and that you were interested in me. After all I am so irresistible.

R: shocked… how did you know Armaan that I die to get close to you.. do you know how many things I plan just so I can come in your strong arms. And just once oh just once you would realise would make my day. she looks at him and steps back…

A: tightens his jaws… your something, you know…

R: I no.. smiles… signals with her eyes that he should leave now… I think its about time you GO… please leave so I can sleep for a bit… I haven't slept all night you know. And pouts.

A: fine fine, and thanks for the tie and nothing else.

R: mhm… and walks behind him so she can close the door.

Armaan stops all of a sudden so Riddhima bumps in to him. I told you right you want to get close to me.

R: gives a are you serious look.

A: I guess you don't find that funny. Anyways I just forgot to ask how the patient is now?

R: smiles. He's good now stable. Im shocked that you asked about my work and patient's shows you care.

A: care I don't know. But dosti ki hai to nibhani toh hai and smiles.

R: you mean to say dosti ki hai--- nibhani toh padegi….

A: its just one word.. ok… and it means the same dam thing. Rolls his eyes.

R: I know but my way it makes more sense talking in a grammatical manner. and one more thing how is it that I still know better Hindi then you? Considering the fact I've stayed in France all my life.

A: your smart ok. Happy. Now go to sleep. Rolls his eyes.

R: awe.. did Mr. Malik just compliment me. How sweet. Flutters her eyelashes.

A; yes Ms. Gupta he did…

Both burst out laughing listening to crazy conversation they were having. Armaan goes to work while Riddhima retreats to bed catching up on some sleep.
