 "Hey love'" he said as he plant a kiss on her forehead and look up at her angelic face 

"Hey' she give her a wide smile and he hold her from shoulder'''.it was mid night and as usual, there time to meet and discuss whole day news''.they walk on the track made for jogging in the park holding hands..

'Armaan, you tell me that you find the girl who can work for us''.who is she?' She looks up with curiosity to find a grin on his face

'Kashish Honey, I don't know any thing in detail about her but I know that she is the one who can make my parents agree to our relation and also will help us get the time, we need before this relation' he assured her as he squeezed her shoulders and look into her eyes 

'Ok, but when I can meet her' They again started walking on the path

'Well, tomorrow, I am gonna ask her''..personally, and later, If she decides to help us''. I will make you meet her' 

'Ok' She said looking forward, while putting her head on his shoulder but got irritated as he shrugged his shoulder and make her look up

'What?' she saw that naughtiness in his eyes and narrowed her eyes 

'Don't make me sad yaar'''..whole day, I think to meet you soon and see that amazing smile of yours are here''you are showing me your anger, poor me' he gasp sadly''.she got a smile in the corner of her lips and hold his jaw line with her hand and kissed his cheek''..

He got a wide smile on seeing her blushing and got a wide smile as they again started moving on tracks, saying something sweet to each other and discuss there whole day routine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

'Oh, my my'''.sorry guys, I entered on a wrong time' She put her hand on her eyes as she turned around on finding Aryan and Shaina in a intimate mood in kitchen

They both just got embarrassed and turn around, not facing each other while Aryan try to handle the situation

'No Ridzi, nothing like that'''we were just'.' He got lost of words as he saw her turning towards them and got a grin 

'Oh, I see'''.was there nothing like that''..but like what?' she make an innocent face as she know nothing'''.Shaina narrowed her eyes as of giving her a warning but on seeing naughtiness in Riddhima's eyes'''She joined her

'Yes Aryan, like what?' She rolled her tongue as of hiding the smile and Aryan look at her, baffled 

'What?' Aryan was in trouble and know this duo pairing is the dangerous one'..so he tried to cover that up making a face like heard something

'Ah, I think''''my mobile is buzzing'.must be my manager, was angry on some issues'''.have to go' he tried hard to run away but riddhima catch hold of his shoulder and hold Shy with another 

'Bhai, I seriously think'''.you need to go to an ENT specialist'''''you hear those things which don't exists'''.Right Shy?' she make a serious face

Shaina nodded making a straight face 'ya exactly, I too didn't hear anything''.OMG ridz, you didn't tell me that your brother has that superior power to hear the little creature voices' She make an astonished face and on hearing that, Riddhima wasn't able to control herself so started laughing out loud, and on seeing that Shy to join her 

The thing making them more laugh was Aryan's angry face'''.but on seeing the two girls, he loved the most, laughing out, he just left smile

'Now, if you both are done, can we have lunch''''I am starving' He make a puppy face and then it struck to them too 

'Oh sorry Shy, I totally forget that we invited you on lunch today'''..just go and sit with bhai''..i will serve you guys today' She wink at them and left for kitchen, leaving them blushing''..but to overcome the situation, Shy look up at him

'Lets move' She tucked her hairs behind her ears and left to the dinning area 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Ok bhai, I am leaving' She put overcoat on herself and after collecting her whole stuff, left to her night duty 

The night duty was a bit calmer, as there were not many people, to whom you have to serve'''mostly you see are some friends, who planned to hangout'''or some important business delegates''..or some couple, having a romantic dinner

She was seated near the bar, as after serving everyone, she got a break and was making there bill 

'Hi, can I talk to you?'

She didn't seem to listen to him and keep typing numbers on calculator 

'550 plus 60 for cold drinks and then '''hmmmmmm''100 for salad''..so the total is'..' She pressed the equal button but before an answer can come, she heard a voice

'Seven hundred ten' she look up from the calculator and look at this hazel eyed man who was just looking at her with his dimpled smile 

She smile and then look down at her calculator to find the same answer

'Exactly'''..you are quite good in Mathematics' She just admired him while writing down the amount on the bill paper 

'Well, that was just an ordinary question' He put his elbow on the counter and keep rubbing his fingers with each other

She closed the bill book and stand up 

'I am not that good, so have to admire the one'''.who know something more than me' She had an attitude, he figure that out, but that was what for he was there

'Hey Riddhima, can I talk to you for a minute?' He called her from behind'.. 

She stopped and turned around with a shocked face 'How do you know my name?'

He was trapped but he needs to think something really fast and then he got an answer

'Oh well, I read your badge''.saying Riddhima Gupta' He make his eyes narrow as of concentrating on her badge, she put on her top 

'Oh, how stupid of me' She hit her head lightly and smile at her silliness

'So can we talk?' He looked up at her again, putting his hands in his pants pockets 

She liked his way of talking to her'''he was quite a handsome guy but why he wanna talk to me''.she shrugged that thought as there chatting session was good and she like it'..so reluctantly agreed having that confused look on her face

'ya sure, but I have to go to one of my customer right now'''after five minutes' He smiled and put away those hairs who were covering his forehead with his finger 

'Ok, I am waiting for you out here' He smiled at her and took the seat, where she was sitting''..minutes back

After giving him a final look, she turned with the bill book'''.still confused why he want to talk to her 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Can you help us?' He looked up at her, as he sipped his coke with a hope 

'I am sorry, but I don't believe in this word called as 'LOVE'''..there is nothing in this world like that'''.and I myself, not want to be engaged in any such relation'''for me, there are only two people, I really think had Loved someone' Her tone was harsh, but he didn't missed that disappointment in her voice''

'Then what do you think about the feeling, you think one got for another' His words made her chocked

'Either it can be attraction, charm or selfishness'''..' She stands up, answering his question

'See, I don't know about what happened in your life'''but for me, my love is the most important'''and I don't want to loose her for my parents wish' He stand up too and made her stop 

"This is selfishness, you have......after getting that girl in your life, you forget about your parents and there wishes of marrying you to someone you they like''.not that girl and now, to get her for your own selfishness, and you want to kill the wishes, they had from you"

"That's enough.....".there he is trying being sweet to her and she is giving her lecture about his own emotions 

"Look, if someone asks your friend to marry someone, they don't like to marry leaving the one behind they love.......will you still gonna put them in that relation'" That was a thinkable thought but who was he, to say this

"But you are no one related to me''''why should I help you?" a good question'.the one needed at the moment 

"Because, in return''''I can give you whatever you like''money, cash, a house''..anything'" He got calmer again

"Sorry Mr, but I am not a thing to sell in market'''.you better find someone else" She turn around in anger 

"How the hell he thinks, he can buy me''..am I a show piece'.." He, in anger, holds her wrist and makes her turn around.

"Here's my card'''.if you ever change your mind, do call me''I hope, I can help you" He put the card in her hand, he was holding and walk out 

She looks down at her wrist, which turned red and the marks of his fingers were apparent, which he just left out there.

He was pacing in the room, thinking about her behavior 

'How rude she was?' He hit his punching bag that he attached in his room'''..the frown was clearly visible on his forehead''''..he was angry, why'..because she turned him down'..

Hell no, he was angry as he called his love for Kashish, Selfish'''..how she dare call that'''he love him unconditionally'yes, unconditional is the right word'..that's because he never imposed his love on Kashish'''as soon, she realized that he loved her, she herself came to him and accepted her hidden love for him'''he know her since four years and know her love better than that arrogant girl'above all, he believe and trust on his love for her''''.Everyone has a right to move on in life as they wished, as it's a lifetime decision and they should better take them in there way and live it with whom, they want too'' 

He hit the bed and closed his eyes''.his forehead and hands were sweating with the workup while hitting punching bag, and make himself get ease of her thoughts'..

'She is not important at all'''..i will find someone else'.but still, she was the best to handle my parents' he thought to himself and get irritated too as to find her the best of all 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She was up before her normal routine'''..it was 7pm''.she fried some potato chips and fillets and after making herself comfortable on the table'''she went through the newspaper 

'Nonsense, nothing more left in this world except bomb blasts and deaths' She murmured as she flip the first page and move towards to read the 3^rd page

'Ah, he is armaan malik' She saw that big picture of the man, who offered him money last day'''.He was looking cool, in that white suit with his million dollar dimpled smile, holding his award 

She look up and start reading the Headlines 'Making an Hatrick, Mr.Armaan Malik again get this year's youngest achiever award'

As she started reading the details, she got to know that he is the owner of the 'Admire' hotel and restaurant chain''.he got all this with his own will power as his father used to had a small 'dhaba' in his village but he, after completing his education out here, made them come to Mumbai and to start with a small business, collect some investors but now its his time, that he used to invest in the business of those, who used to invest before for him 

Just then, Aryan entered with a tired face''''

'Hey Ridzi''.you up early?' He loosened his tie and sits on the couch while getting the television remote from the table and switched it on 

'Yes bhai''.need some water?' She get up from table

'That will be great' Riddhima went to the kitchen and come back with a glass of water 

Handing it over to Aryan, she stands behind the couch and start squeezing his shoulders, which he really needed

He switched through some channels and finally stop on seeing an award show''right then announcer announce the youngest achiever award''''she too look up at the screen and saw armaan move towards the stage and get his award with a great dignity 

'You know ridzi'''. I am trying to get job in his food chain''I get to know that he treat his employees like his family and give them great facilities'''that's why they all love him and do there best to make him proud' Aryan said with a smile as he closed his eyes'''..feeling the stress loosen from his shoulders and felt relax

'Thank you Ridzi' He hold her hands and stopped her'' 

'Its ok bhai''..you should have take care of yourself''''..otherwise Shy will not leave me for not taking care of you' She said with a naughty grin

Aryan got a smile and blushed but warned him 

'Ridzi, I will get back on you, when you will get your Mr.Right'''..than only God can save you'

Right then the phone buzzed 'Ok ok, we will see' She said this to Aryan and went to pick up the phone 

'Hello'''

'Ya Ashi''.' 

'Party? For What?........'

'Well its your boyfriends success party'''..why are you making me get in' 

'Ok ok, Stop give me 'duhai' of this friendship''.. I will be there but you have to ask Steve for my leave of tonight'

'Ok then, will get you outside from the hotel'''.see ya, bye'

She cut the call and sit down beside Aryan who was watching a football match 

'So, you are going to party tonight?' Aryan said, still engrossed in television

'Yeah, actually Ashi's boyfriend give away some success party, and ashi invited me as she don't know any of his friends' 

'Ok then, I need my bed right now'''' What's in the dinner?' Aryan got up to go to his room

They reached the Admire's biggest Resturant in town''.Riddhima was not sure whats gonna come in her way as after knowing armaan is owner of Admire, she just pry that he don't come to her ever, but as in the middle of the way, Kashish told her that they are going to Admire, she just was wishing that she don't see him''..

'Are you Kashish?' The watchman asked them on the door 

Kashish seated on passenger seat replied, 'Yes I am'

'Good evening Maam, the parking is reserved for you in the front lane''..thats way' Watchman showed them the way and Riddhima was impressed

'See, how much he cared for me?' Kashish said with a pride look 

'Thank God, He is not so much 'Kharoos' as I thought' Kashish narrowed her eyes on hearing her comment

'He is not at all 'Kharoos' ridz' Kashish defend him 

'Well, I will see that when I will meet him' She reversed the car and park it on position

'Ridzi, tell me for the last time''''Am I looking good?' As they get out, Kashish comb her hairs with her fingers while holding a beautiful hand bag 

'Gosh Ashi''..you asked me millionth time this question''''.You are looking fabulous love' Kashish smiled seeing her angry expression and punched her cheek just to make her smile

'Let's move in' 

The hall was filled with the men and women wearing black''''it was feeling like they all are mad as they were dancing on the tunes of some rock music

'Hey, he is there''''I will be back in a minute ridzi' Kashish wave seeing his man, dancing on floor, waiting for her to join him'''..Kashish move inside the crowd, and left Ridzi alone, between the strangers 

Ridz spot a bar and move towards it''''she ordered a orange juice and move her face towards dance floor and start spotting Kashish in there''''after a minute of battling to look through people''.she finally found her, dancing with a man''.unaware of the world'''..she saw her smile as he give her a peck on her cheek''''.She was trying to look at the man but was unable as his face was on other side

'He must be nice'''Ashi is really happy with him'''''may they be like this' She love her friend, dearly and just wished best for her 

She divert her gaze to the people, sitting beside her'''.and indulge herself into a formal dance'''She got to know that many out here were the staff of this restaurant and some are the friends

Before she can ask the name'''she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around 

'Ashi, where were you?.........you invited me and then left me alone' She give an angry look

'Sorry dear, but we just got carried away by music' She kissed her cheek to make her calm and then got the point 

'Oh, I forget to make you introduce to him' She turned around and found his face turned on other side as he was talking to some of his friend

'Honey, look meet my best friend'''..Ridzi' Kashish hold his hand and make him turned around'''.but he left stunned seeing her right infront of her 

'YOU?' Ridz was a bit angry onseeing him

'You, Here?' Armaan too got a frown
