PART9
"Armaan, yeh deal ke
baare kya khayal hai tumhara? What do you think we should do? Rahul placed the
file on his desk. "Huh-kya? Armaan asked. "What is wrong with you Armaan?
Dhyaan kaha hai tumhara? Yaha mai important baat kar raha hu aur tum kahi khoae
hue ho. Rahul said.
"I was just thinking
about something. Chodd na. Tu bol kya bol raha tha. Armaan took the file in
his hand. "Riddhima ke baare mai soch raha hoga. I'm 100% sure. Ammy,
shaadi se pehele yeh haal hai, toh bhagwaan hi jaane ki shaadi ke baad kya hoga
tera. Rahul teased.
"Aisa kuch nahi hai. I
was thinking about deal. Armaan lied. "Oh really? So tell me yeh kaunsi deal
hai? Rahul pulled the file from his hands. "Oye. Of course, I know. Yeh toh
Singh ki deal hai. Armaan said confidently.
"Armaan beta, tu rehene
de. Yeh Singh ki deal nahi hai. Rahul told him. "Okay. I accept it. I was
thinking about Riddhima. Vaise ek andar ki baat batau. Armaan suddenly started
whispering. "Kya? Rahul whispered.
"Mai aur Riddhima date
par jaa rahe hai. Armaan told him. "Wow. He shouted like an excited kid. "Oye
Raool, thoda dheere. Aur vaise mai date par jaa raha hu, tujhe kyu itni
excitement ho rahi hai? Armaan asked.
"Aise he. I really
like Riddhima. I'm really happy for you buddy. Rahul was extremely happy for
his baby brother. "Thanks buddy. But bhabhi hai teri, toh, thoda control karo.
Armaan warned him.
"Aacha? Jab tu meri
biwi ke saath ghanto-ghante baat karta rehta hai, tab kya? Rahul asked him.
"Saale chote bhai se jalta hai. By the way, teri biwi hone se pehele Muskaan
meri best friend hai. Agar voh meri friend nahi hoti toh tu usse kabhi milta
bhi nahi. So be grateful. Armaan
replied.
"But now she is my
wife, so dur rehna. Rahul said showing his fist to Armaan. "Okay baba. Ab
thoda kaam karle. Armaan pointed to the file in Rahul's hand. "Sure. Rahul
sat on the chair opposite to Armaan.
"Hey Ridzi. Anjali
fell on the bed. "Hey. Kaha gayi thi aap? Riddhima asked her. "There was an
emergency in I.C.U. So I had to go. Anjali told her. "Oh. Ab patient kaisa
hai? Riddhima asked. "Ab stable hai. Anjali replied.
"Di, I want to talk to
you. Bahut important hai. Riddhima told her. She waited for Anjali's response
but saw her fast asleep. She decided she would talk with her later.
She decided to take
shower. She let the hot water wash away all her worries. She felt relaxed. Her
thoughts went back to Armaan. She whispered his name and she felt a different
kind of feeling inside her.
It was new to her. This
was completely different from what she felt for Sid. She wanted to tell Armaan
about Sid. But she did not know how, she will tell him. She didn't want to hurt
him. But at the same time she didn't want to hurt Sid too.
She finally let the
tears fall. She was angry at herself. She loved Sid but she was attracted
towards Armaan too. She needed to share this with someone. She decided she will
talk with Armaan about. She was sure will help her.
It was 5 o'clock.
Riddhima was standing in front of her cupboard and thinking what she should
wear. "Ridzi, what are you doing. Anjali said taking a bite from her
chocolate. "I have nothing to wear. Riddhima said sadly.
"Tell me something new.
Vaise kahi jaa rahi ho? Anjali asked her. "Ha. Riddhima replied. "Kaha?
Anjali moved her aside to take a look in the cupboard. "Armaan ke saath.
Riddhima told her.
Anjali stopped
whatever she was doing and looked at Riddhima shocked. "Ridzi, I hope you know
what you are doing. Anjali said. "Of course di. Vaise bhi mai Armaan ko sab
batanewali hu. Riddhima told. "Oh. So do you want me to come with you? Anjali
asked her. "Di, don't worry. I'll handle it. Riddhima assured her.
"Okay. But agar kuch
chahiye hoga toh call me. Anjali replied. "Ha meri maa. Ab help me select a
dress. Riddhima asked for help. "Hmmm. Dekhte hai tumhare paas kya hai?
Anjali again looked in the cupboard to find a dress for Riddhima.
"Ridz, ek kaam karo
why don't you wear one of my dresses? Anjali suggested. "What? No. Aapko pata
hai na ki I'm not comfortable in those dresses. Riddhima said. "But try karne
mai kya jata hai. Agar kabhi pehenogi hi nahi toh pata kaise chalega. Anjali
reasoned.
"Aaj nahi di. Aaj mai
koi apni hi dress pehen leti hu. Aur mujhe pata bhi nahi kaha ja rahe hai.
Riddhima told her. "Okay, thik hai. But mai select karungi. Anjali said.
"Fine. Jaldi kariye. Riddhima agreed.
Anjali selected a
black long kurta and pink floral dupatta. "Yeh pehen na. Bohot aacha lagega.
Anjali gave her the dress. Riddhima took the dress and went to change.
Riddhima was ready and
was now waiting for Armaan. "Ridz, are you sure that you want to tell Armaan
everything? Anjali asked concerned. "Yes. I don't want to hurt him. Riddhima
replied honestly.
"Okay. Agar yahi
tumhara final decision hai toh I want to say just one thing all the best and
usse sab kuch bol dena. Aur jaise tum nahi chahti ki Armaan hurt ho, vaise hi
mai nahi chahti ki tum bhi hurt ho. Anjali said. "Okay big sister. I love
you. Riddhima hugged her. "I love you too Ridzi. Anjali hugged her back.
"Hi aunty. Riddhima
kaha hai? Armaan asked sitting on the sofa. "Arey beta, tum aadha ghanta jaldi
aa gaye. Padma asked smirking. "Vo-voh kaam jaldi khatam ho gaya. Armaan
blushed.
"Armaan, tumhare kaan
laal kyu ho rahe hai? Anjali asked coming in the living room. She sat beside
Armaan on the sofa. "Aise koi baat nahi hai. Where is your baby sister? Armaan
changed the topic.
"Ridzi. Anjali shouted to call her. Riddhima came downstairs. "Kya
hai di? "Dekho kaun aya hai. Padma said. "Kaun aya hai? Riddhima asked
confused.
"Armaan aur kaun.
Anjali piped in. Riddhima came towards where Anjali and Armaan were sitting.
"Hi Armaan. Tum itni jaldi kaise aa gaye? I mean you were coming by 7?
Riddhima asked. "Ha Armaan, batao batao. Anjali teased him.
"Anjie tum bhi.
Riddhima chale, late ho raha hai. He smartly changed the topic. "Ha. Di mera
phone dekha apne? Riddhima asked. "Yeh lo Riddhima tumhara phone. Dining table
pe tha. Padma gave the phone to Riddhima. "Thanks maa. Chale Armaan. Riddhima
said.
"Of course. Bye
beautiful. Bye aunty. Armaan them. "Enjoy. Anjali and Padma waved at them.
"Anjali beta, tumhe pata hai Riddhima kya decision lenewali hai? Padma asked.
"Nahi mom. Aur mai yahi kahungi ki give her some time. Anjali replied went to
her room upstairs.
Armaan opened the door for
Riddhima like a true gentleman. Riddhima smiled at him and got in the car.
Armaan quickly went to his side and settled in. He started the car and they
were on the road within few seconds. "Bohot khoobsurat lag rahi ho. Armaan
said concentrating on the road.
"Thank you. She
blushed. Armaan looked at her from the corner of his eyes and could see that
she was blushed. She looked even more beautiful when she blushed he thought. Riddhima
also wanted to compliment but she remained silent. She didn't want to keep his
high hopes and later hurt him. But she couldn't deny that he looked handsome
even in his office suits.
He was wearing a white
shirt and black suit. He looked a bit tired but handsome at the same time. Armaan
switched on the radio. Jab tak song was playing. Riddhima starting humming along
with the song. Armaan looked at her and smiled.
The rest of the
journey they didn't talk just kept listening to the songs playing on the radio.
"We have reached. Armaan announced. He switched off the engine and quickly got
down and went towards Riddhima's side to open the door for her.
Riddhima stepped down
and looked around her. They were again at the beach. She smiled widely. "Chale
madam. Armaan offered her his hand and she took it happily. "Yes sir. She
giggled.
"Toh madam kya
khanewali hai aap? Armaan asked. "Paani puri. Riddhima said excited like a
small kid. "What are we waiting for then. Let's go. Armaan walked towards the
paani puri stall.
"Bhaiyya tikha pani
puri. Riddhima told the paani puriwala. "Ji madam. He passed her the paper
bowl. The paani puri wala gave her the first paani puri. She gobbled it down
quickly. "Riddhima dheere se khao. Armaan said looking at her antics.
The paani puriwala gave the secong puri and
Riddhima fed it to Armaan. Armaan was surprised at her move but suddenly started
coughing. The paani puri was very spicy. "Armaan kya hau? Are you fine? I'm
sorry, tumhe bina bataye khila diya. Riddhima passed him the water bottle she
took from the paani puriwala.
"It's okay. Par
Riddhima yaar, itna tikha kaise kha leti ho? Kitna spicy hai. Armaan said
gulping the water. "Mujhe toh spicy food bohot pasand hai. Don't tell me that
you don't like spicy food? Itne tough dikhte ho aur spicy nahi khate? Riddhima
asked eating another puri. "Kuch bhi Riddhima. Mera tough dikhna aur spicy food
na khaane ka kya connection hai. By the way, I like spicy food. Armaan said
proudly.
"Oh really? Toh
competition karte hai. What say? Riddhima asked. "Done. Armaan accepted the
challenge. They both started globbing down the spicy pani puris. At the end
Armaan had tears in his eyes but there was a content smile on his face seeing a
wide smile on Riddhima's face. Riddhima had won the challenge.
"By the way, I like
spicy food. Riddhima imitated him. "Ab zindagi bhar tum mujhe iss baat pe
chidaogi. Armaan said. Riddhima suddenly came forward towards Armaan. She
wiped the paani puri ka paani which dripping from his lips.
Armaan froze. His
heart was beating faster seeing her so close to him. Armaan raised his hand and
pushed the hair strands flowing behind her ears. Due this Riddhima realised
what she had done and moved back. "Armaan
chale? Riddhima asked blushing. "Ha let me just pay him. Armaan paid the
paani puriwala and they left from there.
"Toh ab kya karna hai?
Armaan asked. The embarrassing movement long forgotten. "Walk karte hai.
Riddhima suggested. "Of course. Armaan agreed.
They walked for some time. Riddhima wanted to talk with Armaan.
She mustered up the courage and decided to talk to him. "Armaan, mujhe tumse
kuch bolna hai. Can I? Riddhima said. "Sure. Armaan replied.
Before Riddhima could
say anything, Armaan's phone ringed. Armaan pulled out his phone from his
pocket. He smiled looking at the caller id. "Hi maa, boliye. Armaan said. "Kya?
Aap ne aise kaise kiya? Armaan said upset. "Armaan kya baat hai? Riddhima
asked worried. "We need to go home. Its urgent. Armaan told her.
