Part 1
'Tum aise kapre pehnoge yaha par' the lift was packed as it was thanks to the overweight uncle and aunty ji who had to get this lift, and with Armaan edging closer and constantly whispering in her ear it was making it difficult to breath
Ridz: 'Armaan, mujhe waise bhi saas nahi le jaraha aur tum ho ki mere personal space ko violate karne par tulle hue ho, motaji aap ki uss taraf bohot jaga hai, move!' whispering harshly back at Armaan Ridz roughly pushed him to the other side of the lift, making him fall slightly on the aunty ji
Armaan: 'Oh I'm sorry aunty ji, aap ko toh lagi nahi' winking at the aunty Armaan had an ability to flirt with any woman and make them blush regardless of their age and the company around
Uncle: 'Ahem' the uncle gave Armaan a stern look and as soon as the doors opened dragged his wife out scolding her down the lobby, leaving only Armaan and Ridz in the lift
Armaan: 'Abh toh yaha koi nahi hai, abh koi problem nahi hai na?' moving back over towards Ridz side of the lift. Sensing his movements, Ridz went to the other without even looking at him. Smiling at her rebellious behaviour Armaan ran his hand through his hair as he once again reminded himself that his actually married to her, Ridhimma Gupta now. 'Ha toh mein kya kehraha ta' oh yes, kya tum aise hi kapre pehnoge iss trip par?'
Looking up to examine his expression Ridz was satisfied to see Armaan looking slightly worried and frowning, 'Kyun, tummhe acha nahi laga'mein toh aise hi kapre pehnti hu' watching his expression turn from a frown to a huge grin Ridz now became worried' 'Iski neeyat toh teekh hai na' getting ready to kick him again Ridz stood on guard
Laughing uncontrollably again at her reaction Armaan couldn't control himself, 'Tum humesha larna kiliye tayar kyun rehte ho?' looking at her up and down looking like a cat ready to pounce and scratch you senseless 'mein toh aise hi pooch raha ta, waise I think you look hot when you dress casual, mein toh bas yeh soch raha ta ki agar casual mein itni sexy laghti ho toh sari mein toh mujhe mardoge beautiful'
The lift doors opened just in time and Armaan ran out of the lift before his wife got the chance to kill him. Smiling at passers by Ridz motioned to the people in the lobby that she didn't know Armaan and walked away towards the beach' breakfast really wasn't her kind of thing' taking a few steps out of the hotel doors a waft of freshly made waffles engulfed her senses, closing her eyes, she blindly walked towards the hotel dining area at sat down on what she thought was a chair.
Armaan: 'Honey agar itni jaldi ti toh room se nikala kyun mujhe' Armaan winked as he wrapped his arms securely around Ridz's waist
Letting out a yelp Ridz jumped out of Armaan's lap coming to her senses, knocking the table in the process,
Armaan: 'Arre samal kar' Armaan tried to steady Ridz but the more he tried to help the more jumpy she got knocking things over left right and center' before you knew it all the contents of what was the breakfast table till now was spread across the floor with the other customers just staring at Ridz like she was mad.
Turning red in the face Ridz ran out of the dining area, avoiding eye contact with everyone on her way.
Armaan: 'Yeh larki bhi na, jaha bhi jaati hai toofan ki tarra sab kuch bigaar deti hai' par hai bari pyari' he mumbled to himself as watched her leave in a rush.
Lying on the beach Ridz watched the ever changing streaks of colour in the sky as the sun set for another day into the depths of the sea, the birds danced rejoicing in the colours that couldn't be captured, and only felt as the final rays of sunlight gave way to the new colours of the night. Spending all day playing games with the children on the beach, building sand castles and getting annoyed when it got washed away, creating pictures in the sand with shells and anything she could find on the beach, Ridz had pretty much tired herself out, yawning as the stars started to appear in the darkening sky Ridz got from the sand and dusted herself down
'Aaaaaaaaaaa...' Ridz screamed closing her eyes for a second before remembering exactly what was there, opening her eyes again she saw Armaan sitting there quietly on a deck chair under an umbrella with huge shades on. Looking around at her surrounding Ridz burst out laughing as she heard Armaan let out a loud snore
Ridz: 'Hmm toh janab ko raath mein shades pehenkar beach par sonne ki hobby hai' Riddy jaani isse behtar mauka nahi milne wali tujhe' subah ki badla le le putar' Ridz let out a evil quiet laugh as wicked ideas started streaming into her head
Running back into the hotel Ridz bribed her way to 'borrowing' some green food colour from a kitchen staff member kitchen and borrow a bucket, on the pretence that she needed to hand wash some clothes as they were delicate. Rushing back to the beach Ridz found Armaan still sleeping soundly like a baby
Ridz: 'Such a shame, jab sotte hai toh sab bhi itna masoom aur cute lagte hai, par jab yeh aaken kolte hai tab inme sirf shaitani bari hai' yeh aankein mujhe dedo jaani yeh aankein mujhe dedo' stifling a laughter Ridz got down to business armed with her trusty bag, bucket and the ultimate weapon, green food dye.
Ridz: 'Armaan tum kaha ho? Raath ki 12 baje hai aur tum abhi takh nahi aye' if your not here in the next 10 minute then I'm locking the doors and you can sleep in the lobby today' samjhe' Ridz hung up the phone with the most evil grin on her face. Pulling out the camcorder her sister had so 'lovingly' gifted them, NOT a voice screamed in her head, she snuck down the stairs towards the lobby and hid around the corner so she could get a proper view of Armaan walking in.
Ridz: 'and here is the beast my parents think is soo perfect, I can see why actually, dekhne mein itna bura toh nahi laghta' hai na'' turning the camera away from her Ridz pointed the camera at Armaan walking into the hotel
Everything would have been fine if it wasn't for the green face with red lipstick circles on his cheeks and surrounding his mouth, the lack of eyebrows added the icing to the cake, Ridz silently thanked the inventors of hair removal cream, no pain no fuss, the jingle of the advert played in her head as she continued to tape Armaan walking into the hotel looking slightly uncomfortable by the fact that everyone around him was whispering and staring at him strangely. 'Bechara bhuda doesn't know what his gotten himself into' laughing evily into the camera she switched it off before racing up to her room for phase two of make Armaan's life a nightmare today
Ridz carefully placed the camera in the bathroom well hidden from view and jumped back into bed seconds before Armaan rushed in
Armaan: 'Jaan look at me'
Hearing him address as her as anything nice boiled her blood more, 'Jaan ki bache you are so dead' she muttered under her breath before looking up and nearly cracking up laughing herself, she knew she was good but this good' never, standing there with his hands on his hips Armaan looked like Shreks wife with his green face and the red hot lipstick lipstick
Ridz: 'What do you want bhudaji? Kuch kaam hai toh khud karlo, I'm not in the mood and I'm kind of tired'
Armaan: 'Is there something wrong with me?' Armaan asked matter factly as he put his hands up as he started twirling around showing her all his angles
Ridz: 'What the hell bhudaji? You want me to check you out' no chance, I'd rather poke my eyeballs out, or better yours' she retorted while holding a straight face 'Oh god this guy is too much, how the hell did mum and dad think he'd be perfect for me again' oh yeh because Anjie said so' kamini kahi ki' she thought to herself while watching Armaan try to figure out whats wrong. 'Im not even going to bother asking what bought all this on, as that would mean I care' just go wash up, I need to turn the lights out to go to sleep'. Putting the book down on the side table Ridz slid under the covers and turned to her side pretending to go to sleep.
Hearing Armaan scream like a girl in the bathroom Ridz burst out laughing falling out of bed in the process, Armaan came charging out furious to the core, to find Ridz in hysterics
Armaan: 'You did this' pointing to his face he demanded with his booming voice
Still on the floor gasping for air between her laughter 'And' so' what'if'i'did' another burst of hysterics erupted filling the room with her dancing voice. Seeing Armaan turning to leave for the bathroom again Ridz jumped up from the floor and ran into the bathroom
Armaan: 'Hey open the door' mujhe apna chehra ko dona hai'
Ridz: 'Kyun' Ridz giggled behind the bathroom door as she quickly to remove the camcorder and conceal under her pyjamas 'I think your face looks better like this' you should keep it' opening the door as abruptly as she had shut in his face Ridz marched back to the bed and went to sleep
Hearing the bathroom door close Ridz couldn't help but congratulate herself, 'Honeymoon geya baar mein MR Armaan Malik, this is going to be your worst nightmare abh toh sirf chehra green hai, abh toh aur bhi rang laana hai jaise ki tamatar jaise laal, phir talak wooohoo' smiling at herself Ridz chucked the extra pillow on the sofa and chucked a blanket and went to sleep diagonally on the bed with all her favourite coloured cushions surrounding her
Ridz laughed down the phone talking to her best friend Muskaan telling her all about what had happened the night before
Muskaan: 'Oh my god, Ridz your so mean, bechara ka poora chehra green kardiya? Where do you get this stuff from' she laughed uncontrollably on the other end 'Bohot gussa hua hoga na woh' did he shout at you or anything?'
Ridz: 'Muskaan, yeh mein hu, logh mujhse nazre milakar baat karne se darta hai, yeh saand bilkul waisa hi hai' mein kuch bhi karlo woh na kuch kehta hai, na karta hai' joh karta hai mere peet peeche karta hai' you know while I was sleeping last night the haathi kahi ka chucked all my clothes out' kamina saala and then he gives me this stupid saree to wear' I don't think he liked my ripped jeans very much' laughing non-stop Ridz walked into another store on the hunt for some clothes
Muskaan: 'What, usne tumhare saari kapre pekh diya? I swear if Rahul did anything like that to me, then I'd chuck him out with the trash. So what are you wearing know if his chucked all your clothes out?'
Ridz: 'Aur kya, wohi stupid saree, pata nahi mama kaise pehenti hai yeh sab' I swear its falling off all over the place grrr. Acha aek minute hold ha, let me quickly buy these things, I don't think I can wear this saree much longer'
Muskaan: 'Okay, waise tera woh saandh hai kaha? Saath mein nahi hai kya?'
Ridz: 'No ways! His sitting in the hotel room sulking about his non-existant eyebrows'. Both girls burst into another fit of laughter
Armaan: 'Dude what am I supposed to do? No matter what I do or say she has this thing where she has to hate me and torture me'
Rahul burst out laughing at the other end of the phone 'Oh man Armaan you've got it bad for her'
Armaan: 'Chup bandar, if I didn't have feelings for her why the hell would I get married to her' to enjoy the daily torture? Saala kamina, your supposed to be helping me, not laughing at me'
Rahul: 'acha chill dude, isme itna barakh ne ki kya bhaat hai, lets see erm eyebrows kiliye' Muskaan always draws her's on, why don't you try that till yours grow back' Rahul burst out laughing picturing Armaan with perfectly shaped eyebrows
Armaan: 'ha ha hasle, aek bar milto le, kasam meri missing eyebrows ki tere bhi mein yahi haal karunga'
Rahul: 'HAHAHA ooo acha karlena' abh bata teri junglee billi jaisi biwi kaha hai?'
Armaan: 'Oi zabaan samal kar... warna I'll set her on you samjhe'
Rahul: 'Acha teekh hai, teri pyari si boli si phool jaise patni kaha hai abh? Mujhe bhi baat karwa'
Armaan: 'she's taken my card and gone shopping dude'
Rahul: 'WHAT??? Armaan tu pagal hogeya hai kya, you let her take your card and go shopping, yaar if you were in that much of a rush to become bankrupt mujhe tera card kyun nahi dedeta' she's going to rob you blind' day light robbery HAHAHAHAHAHA tu geya Armaan Malik, tu geya'
Walking through the shopping center Ridz came across a little pet store, outside hanging was little white bird cage intriquetly designed with two little birds in it, one blue and the other green' beautiful as they were something seemed to be missing' the birds didn't look as chirpy as birds should' looking at the two birds huddled in one corner of the cage Ridz felt a corner of her heart cry for them
Walking out of the store holding the cage in her hands Ridz walked out of the mall looking rather smug with herself, well she had reason to be, after lecturing the shop keeper for well over an hour the shop keeper had given Ridz the birds just so she could leave, her lectures where scaring other customers away
Walking to the nearest park Ridz set her shopping bags down on one of the benches' sitting down on the bench she set the cage on her lap and spoke softly to the two birds 'tummhe abh yaha nahi rehna parega', you can fly away and be free' the birds looked at her cocking their heads appearing to understood what she was saying. Opening the cage door Ridz helped the birds out of the cage'
Watching them fly away together Ridz let a small tear of joy for the birds and a tear for her sadness escape 'shayed mein bhi aek din aise hi mukt hosaku' letting the moment of sadness wash away almost as instantly as it had come Ridz got up from her seat with a huge smile on her face and walked back towards the hotel to torture Armaan again
Armaan watched from behind the trees as Ridz let the birds go' he was too far to hear what she was saying but the sadness was evident in her eyes' 'Yeh itni udaas kyun hai'' the thoughts were shortlived as the next moment Armaan saw her expression change from sad to happy then to mischivieous' 'Yeh phir se kuch karegi abh' hai baghwan mujhe bachalo'
Walking into the hotel Ridz found Armaan missing again 'He went out without eyebrows' raising her own eyebrows 'Bhuda mein dam hain' maana parega' talking to herself Ridz started setting up her next trap' opening her shopping bags she took out a bottle of eyedrops' 'Isse bachkar dekhao Mr kharoos bhuda' mwuhahaha'
Dressing up in her new outfit, an off the shoulder floral summer dress Ridz sprayed double the amount of perfume on and payed extra attention to her makeup. 'Aaj Bhudaji aap kissi kaam ki layak nahi rahenge' the mischief sparkled in her eyes as Ridz put the final touches on her make-up
Walking in cautiously Armaan noticed the ambience of the room had completely changed since the morning, the sun was setting outside making the entire room glow, there were little chains of mirrors hanging from the balcony entrance, glittering and dancing as the cool breeze moved them in the sunlight. He could hear a sweet humming noise wafting through the air drifting towards him, taking him into a trance
Armaan: 'Im dreaming' hmmm' and I love it' yeh awaz kiski hai' closing his eyes Armaan completely forgot to be cautious walking into the room, the sweet humming noise was coming from the balcony, quietly walking towards the balcony Armaan stopped in his steps'.
There standing with her hair dancing in the wind was Ridz, eyes closed looking out into the sun set, she hummed away so sweetly that it took Armaan a moment to register it was actually her. Drifting closer to Ridz Armaan didn't realise how or when she had stopped humming and was just standing their feeling the sun leave its warm caress on her face for the last time that day. Opening her eyes slowly Ridz jumped seeing Armaan standing there
Ridz: 'What the hell! Aise kya goorh goorh kar dekhrehe ho' mein koi kaane ki cheeze nahi joh aap kacha chaba jao, bloody bhudaji hatto' she tried to push him out of the way to get pass but Armaan simply blocked her way' 'Abh yeh kya batameezi hai, bhudaji saamne se haat jao warna issi balcony se pekh dungi aapko'
Armaan: 'Nahi pehle tum mujhe apne sawalo ki jawab chahiye'
Ridz: 'Kaise sawal'
Armaan: 'tum mujhse itne nafrat kyun karte ho' agar tumhe yeh shaadi manzoor nahi ta toh kiya kyun?'
