RECAP: AR DISCOVERING AA IN LOVE FOR SURE.. RIDHHIMA'S BIRTHDAY STARTS.. RIDHIIMA HAVING A SORT OF FATHER ND DAUGHTER TALK TO SHASHANK..

Part 18

Armaan entered the locker room to change as he was drenched completely.. just as he was about to dry his head he found a tug at his towel.. looking back he found Ridhhima standing there with questioning eyes.. "Umm.. vo it..it was raining outside nd while driving back I was feeling hot so I took off my jacket nd I realised my mistake when I was fully drenched.." he said fumbling nd making up a lie nd not flaunting his good deed.. Ridhhima felt proud of her love nd gestured him to sit.. as he sat she dried his hair nd after kissing his forehead she said "I saw you giving your jacket to the kid at the gate.. I Love You.." as he came closer to fulfill his naughty plan she asked him to change.. he was taken aback at her  uncomfortable tone.. although she was behaving normal but there was something she was hiding.. he could sense it.. without any arguments he went to change nd came out with his shirt unbuttoned.. It was his trick to cheer her up by his antics.. "Jaan plz help me na.." he said making a baby face to which she had no expression as reply on her face.. she moved forward with a straight face.. As she was buttoning his shirt she felt his cold lips on her neck nd hands lingering on her waist.. she didn't want to disturb him when he was so happy so she just tried to stop him normally.. whispering "Armaan please.." to which he replied as a whisper too "Ridhima please.." nd continued to kiss her neck coming to her lips.. as he got himself involved in nibbling nd sucking her lips, two fat tears escaped her eyes.. Armaan was shocked as she broke into louder sobs.. he immideately got her into a comforting hug nd caressed her hair to calm her down.. "Ridhhima.. Jaan.. kya.. kya hua.. please stop crying baby.." He continued to whisper sweet nothings into her ears, caressing her back, calming her down.. when her sobs ceased he cupped her face nd wiped the tears with his thumb.. "I'm sorry Jaan.. I was just trying to cheer you up.. I didn't mean to hurt you at all.." he said in guilty tone nd teary eyes.. He thought his naughty way to cheer her up made her cry..

She said nothing accept "Armaan kya hum terrace par chal ke baat karein..?.."

He followed her obidiently but his mind was working over time now.. "If she is mad at me then why does she want to talk.. nd if all that was not coz of me then who the hell made My Love cry.. Kahin kisi ne kuch kaha to nahi usse..?.. kya hua hai meri Jaan ko.. pata nahi agar main poochu to vo phir se na rone lage.."

He came out of his thoughts when she called out his name hugging him.. He was happy to have her in his arms but he was still confused coz her voice was sad.. "Jaan plz.. shout at me if you are angry but don't keep all that inside you.. I won't feel bad I promise.." she felt strong as he said all that with love in his voice nd decided to free him of his guilt.. "Nahi Armaan.. It has nothing to do with you.. you are not at fault trust me.." 

"Then why did My Jaan cry..?.." she sensed impatience in his voice.. she told him the whole conversation that took place between her nd Shashank..

"Armaan.. aaj bohot din baad laga ki mujhse Dr.Gupta nahi mere papa baat kar rahe thhe.. he gave me the soft toy he used to give me on my every birthday.. lekin main le nahi pai.. I felt a sudden urge to run away from here.. I miss him Armaan.. I miss my Father.. I know dad ne mujhe kabhi koi kami nahi mehsus hone di.. unhone mujhe tumse aur Rahul se zyada pyar kiya.. lekin main.." she was so upset that she couldn't even express herself.. but that was the beauty of their relationship.. there was no need of words to express their feelings.. "Bas Jaan.. you calm down okk.. I'm there with you.. aur jo tum keh rahi ho usmein rone wali kya baat hai.. hmm.. its good na.. even after all that has happened you or Dr. Gupta has still not given up the love nd respect you have for each other.. trust me.. at this rate he'll realise his mistake soon.."

although he has said all that but he was still not confident about that.. but at this time all he was concerned about was Ridhhima's happiness nd contentment.. It was his responsibility to make her feel complete even in the most testing times of her life.. "Okk now cheer up.. Its your birthday today plus Its your lucky day too.." he said smiling to make the moment light.. she was confused "birthday is fine but Lucky day..?.." he smiled at her cute nd confused face "Yup.. TODAY YOU DEFEATED THE ARMAAN MALLIK IN A RACE.. that's why.." listening to his banter she smiled inspite of herself nd his expression of pure flaunting as he said THE ARMAAN MALLIK made her giggle.. "Hmm.. you're right.. THE ARMAAN MALLIK.. you love yourself so much don't you..?.." Ridhhima said in teasing tone.. only to get an honest reply "Not more than how much I Love You.. You are my life jaan.." the love in his voice nd passion in his eyes drowned her.. only to find his lips lingering over her trembling ones yet again.. but this time even she enjoyed it.. they forgot the world around them existed too nd busied themselves in kissing eachother as if it was for the last time ever..

At Gupta House

"Aap table par baithiye main khana laati hoon.." Padma said to Shashank who has just now come home from Sanjeevni as he wanted to be at a peacefull place to think about what Ridhhima said.. the lunch went away in the silence.. Anjali was busy helping at Mallik's next door.. Shashank got up to answer the door when he heard the bell.. It was Anjie standing there with Arav asleep in her arms.. she quickly got in nd handed Arav carefully to Padma..

"Mom vahan bohot shor ho raha hai coz of decorations nd since Ridzie's room is next to Arav, jo Armaan ke surprise plan ke workers hain vo bhi awaaz karenge.. so I thought to let Arav sleep here while we finish off.." saying so she ran as Padma smiled looking at sleeping Arav in her arms.. "bilkul Ridhhima jaisa dikhta haina.. vahi bholapan aur pyari si smile.." although she was saying this to shashank but he was in his own world.. Padma put Arav in her own room nd left looking for shashank.. he was sitting in the lounge.. he knew padma has noticed nd will question him too.. so before any of padma's question he himself told her about his nd Ridhhima's convo in the morning..

"Mujhe lagta hai ki vo sahi hai.. agar Armaan achha insaan na hota to vo aaj 5 saal baad bhi uske sath na hoti.. vo humari beti se bohot pyaar karta hai.. aur Arav se bhi.. to aap kyun.." she was cut in between "Padma.. main yeh nahi bhool sakta ki meri jiss beti ne bachpan se mere kisi decision pe sawal nahi uthaya.. meri vohi beti uss Armaan ki vajah se mujhe chod kar chali gayi.. Armaan ke liya usne apne parivaar ko nazar andaaz kar diya.. yahan tak ki ab vo mujhe javaab bhi dene lagi hai.. Uss Armaan ne humari ridhhima ko humse bohot dur kar diya aur humari Ridhhima jaisi dikhne vaali kisi aur ladki ko humare saamne khada kar diya.." He was feeling ANGRY nd helpless.. he felt if he could extract his daughter completely from Armaan's life he would do that this instant.. Padma left him alone for sometime as he really needed time to adjust with this new stronger Armaan's Ridhhima..

 
It was 4pm now.. Arav was wide awake.. he saw Padma sleeping besides him nd slowly got out of the bed.. he walked to the nearby table nd saw a few papers which had their one side plain.. he being a naughty artist started with his mordern art on the papers.. he was way too happy doing that but he shuddered nd got really scared when Shashank kinda shouted looking at the mordern art being done on one of his important files.. He was certainly relaxed from one thing today ie.  He has finally got the papers ready which when signed by Jai Mallik will bring his Sanjeevni out of all the crisis but here those papers were.. Arav has painted them all blue with the pen he found nd he himself was covered with the ink on his hands nd legs.. looking at angry Shashank Arav was scared.. noone has EVER scolded him for ANYTHING before.. his loud wails nd shashank's angry voice woke Padma up.. tears were flowing from Arav's eyes continuously nd he was only saying "mamma.." between his sobs.. padma quickly tried to calm him down but no use he was till crying so she called Rahul.. as soon Rahul arrived Arav ran into his arms still taking Ridhhima's name.. Rahul knew if he calls Ridhhima she'll come running even from hell but then their surprise party will fail.. he tried to calm him down by talking to him nd giving him his phone to play the game he loves to.. just as Arav's sobs subsided Rahul put him on the couch nd went to Padma to ask for the cause of this bcoz it was the first time ever he has seen Arav cry with this intensity..

Just as Rahul left to talk to Padma, Arav tried to dial Ridhhima's number but instead he pressed Armaan's.. he has seen Rahul dialing AR's number many times by just pressing a single button (speed dial)..

As the phone rang Armaan was confused why is Rahul calling him.. "Haan Rahul bol..?" Armaan answered the call "mamma.." Arav again sobbed now Armaan was tensed "Arav.. aap ro kyun rahe ho baby.. kya hua.. chachu kahan hai..?" listening to Armaan, Ridhhima grabbed the phone nd putting it on her ear she started walking to the parking as she heard Arav sob.. her heart skipped a beat hearing her baby sob more.. "mamma *sob* paash anaa.. *sob*" Ridhhima was close to tears too "Beta aap kahan ho..? mama abhi aati hai apne baby ke paas.."

All Arav knew was that he was at Anjie's place.. that also he came to know when he came there last evening with Jai Mallik.. "Maashi te ghal..*sob* mamma *sob* mujhe darr *sob* lag laha hai.."

"beta mamma abhi aa rahi hai okk.. aap ro matt.. mamma ka strong prince haina Arav.. mamma abhi aa rahi hai.." giving the phone to Armaan as it got disconnected Ridhhima drove as quickly as she could to gupta house.. she covered 35mins. distance in just 10mins. .. Armaan in between kept trying Rahul's number again but it was switched off coz when Arav was talking the battery got dead.. Ridhhima ran into the house nd saw Arav with Rahul.. Arav was still in tears.. his big green eyes were swollen nd red now.. she took him in her arms nd craddled him till he was calm nd hiccuping.. she made him drink some water nd turned to Rahul for explaination.. Rahul noticed her arched eyebrows nd questioning eyes..but when Rahul didn't speak Ridhhima questioned in an angry nd stern voice "Rahul I'm waiting for an explaination.. what is Arav doing here nd why the hell was he crying so terribly.."

Armaan knew if rahul tried to lie he'll for sure get a worst spanking so he tried to calm Ridhhima "Ridhhima calm down.. he'll tell us everything.." 

"Right now Rahul.." she said as if Armaan didn't say anything.. looking at ridhhima's face Rahul didn't dare to lie so he told AR the truth.. both of them were now ANGRY.. "what was the file about..?.." Ridhhima asked Padma

"beta vo.. Ridhhima vo.." she stopped when Ridhhima asked "plz.. only the truth now.." "beta vo.. deal papers.." listening to her Ridhhima left Gupta house with in a second with Arav clinging to her.. Armaan was still there.. he caught hold of Rahul's arm nd blurted out his anger "tum sab ko kitni baar kaha thha na maine ki Arav yahan akela nahi aayega.. tu, dad ya atul uske saath honge tabhi vo yahan aayega.. tumhe ek baar mein koi baat samjh nahi aati kya.. do you realise how damn scared he would have been to call ridhhima on his own.."

Rahul was shocked "what..?Arav called bhabhi..?.. how..?"
"Yes.. he called us from your mobile.. we don't have telepathic radars fitted on our heads to know when, where nd what is happening..(Armaan said sarcastically nd then again in anger he continued).. he was crying terribly while talking to us.. Rahul this is my last warning to you.. keep Arav away from THIS house or else next time Ridhhima will question you.. Arav ko main aur Ridhhima apne saath lekar ja rahe hain.. jab saari arrangements hojaye to call me.. tab tak I'll try nd calm them both.." leaving Rahul he faced Shashank took out his phone nd in a very stern voice talked to his lawyer "Mr. Khanna.. Armaan Mallik here.. yes.. I want those papers to be prepared once again nd send them to Shashank Gupta's house..don't argue with me nd do as you're asked to.. I want this to be done by the evening.." then to shashank "aapke papers shaam tak yahan honge.. lekin ab Arav yahan kabhi nahi aayega.. mujhe laga thha ki subah aapki Ridhhima se jo baat hui, shayad aap mujhe apna lenge lekin aap to Arav ko bhi.. khair galti meri hai.. main bhool gaya ki jab aap Ridhhima ko pregnency mein itna stress de sakte hain to Arav aapke liye kya hai.." he left saying all that even without giving any of them a chance to explain or apologise.. Rahul sighed nd went back to look for the arrangements as AR left with Arav..

In the car

Arav was better now having AR with him.. with Ridhima's continuous caressing on his head nd frequent kisses on his forehead he relaxed faster.. he was still sitting in Ridhhima's lap nd Armaan was driving.. Armaan wanted both Ridhhima nd Arav to be normal.. nd he knew if Arav smiles even Ridhhima would give up to his babyish charms.. so he started "Arav.. aap mama papa ke saath kahan kahan ghumne chaloge..?.." Ridhhima looked at armaan when he started talking to Arav in an adorable tone nd then back at Arav who was now looking at her.. she gave him a smile nd kissed his cheek.. "Hmm.. mera prince pehle apne liye toys lega, phir ice cream khayega aur phir park mein khelne chalega haina.." Ridhhima said in a loving tone.. He was now relaxed nd wanted something more so corrected Ridhhima saying "aul paani mein bhi.." Ridhhima smiled at his sweetness nd hugged him saying "theek hai my naughty prince..hum paani mein khelne beach par bhi jayenge.. bas.."

 
~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

They first entered the mall.. as they entered the toy shop Arav started to run around holding Ridhhima's hand nd smiling widely.. Ridhhima also joined him nd this way they selected soft toys, games nd video games for Arav.. in the mean while Armaan got an idea.. he took Arav with him saying he has to show him some game nd Ridhhima should get his rest of the toys to the counter.. He took Arav to a section that had very cute tiny soft toys.. they would fits in the palm of any grown up human.. he asked Arav to select one for his mamma nd one for himself.. Armaan got Ridhhima's packed nd gave it to Arav.. Arav saw Ridhhima at the counter nd went to her she looked at him when he tugged at her jeans.. she picked him up.. nd he quickly held out the gift saying "appy bithday mamma.." she looked at him puzzled "Arav yeh aap mamma ke liya laye ho..?.." she kisses him as he nodded nd then pointed towards Armaan.. looking at Armaan she mouthed "thankyou" nd opened her gift with Arav's help as she had him in her arms.. "wow.. Arav yeh to bohot cute hai.. lekin mere baby se zyada nai.. Arav to mamma ka sabse favourite teddy bear hai.." he smiled at ridhhima's love while Armaan was busy taking their pictures..

 ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After some more shopping they finally settled at the table with the ice creams in their hands.. Arav had scoop of chocolate ice cream nd was seated in Armaan's lap comfortably.. As they were chatting Armaan got a friend's call so instead of going out nd making Ridhhima all the more suspicious he attended the call nd gave all the info about the party indirectly while Ridhhima consumed herself in her ice cream nd in her thoughts of what happened a  while ago at Gupta's.. as she thought of Arav she looked up at him nd burst out laughing like a maniac.. Armaan was surprised at this.. Arav was also giving his sweet yet confused smile to his super enthusiastic mom.. "Ridhhima kya hua..?.. pagalon ki tarah kyun has rahi ho..?" instead of answering him Ridhhima quickly took out her mobile nd took Armaan nd Arav's picture.. when Armaan realised it has something to do with him he looked down only to find himself nd his lil prince covered with Arav's ice cream.. Armaan's white shirt had very tiny chocolate hand prints that were of Arav nd the cute nd naughty kid was giving his ever so sweet smile to his parents.. Ridhhima giggled some more when the people around joined her too.. finally after laughing her heads off she decided to change Arav's clothes nd get something for Armaan too.. "Arav.. aap bohot naughty hote jaa rahe ho baby.. but mamma is loving this.." Ridhhima said kissing Arav's head as his face was covered with ice cream..

 ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

They were now heading to park as AR wanted to relax for sometime after playing nd running so much at the beach.. It was 7:30 by now nd Armaan had an idea that in an hour probably everything will be done at home.. AR settled at a bench near the swings as Arav was going with a bunch of kids at the swings.. Ridhhima felt so happy nd warm looking at her son who was having so much fun.. he was giggling, laughing nd waving to his parents time to time.. after sometime of serious discussion about what happened with Dr. Shashank today, Armaan had to agree to what Ridhhima said "Armaan.. I know ki subah meri aur Dr.gupta ki baat alag tareeke se hui thhi.. lekin whatever happened in the afternoon has definitely made a mark.. usse bhoolna mere liya tabhi easy hoga jab Arav unse nahi darega.. If Arav gets scared at his sight then I will not be able to forgive him ever.. tumne dekha Arav ki aakhein kaisi ho gayi thhi ro- ro kar.. he was shaking out of fear Armaan.." nodding nd squeezing her hand.. "Okk.. but please cheer up.. see even Arav is happy now.." looking up they both saw Arav playing with a small dog nd the lady was also helping him.. they walked towards Arav after a while when Armaan got a call from his dad.. Armaan has just now noticed how happy Ridhhima was looking at Arav playing with that lil dog.. nd grinned when she said "Armaan..  I want the same dog when we get back to London..Its too cute nd see Arav is not afraid of it too.."

 
~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

They entered the house.. Ridhhima was blindfolded already so that she is keot unaware of the party arrangements.. Armaan took her to their room in his arms while muskaan changed Arav's clothes.. After a while AR stepped into the lawn wearing this..

 

"Armaan tumne to kaha thha ki we're going for dinner to yeh sab'?" asked surprise ridhhima when all her friends popped out saying "SURPRISE.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.."  "Awww.. thankyou so much guys.." she hugged RM nd AA..

"Arre hum bhi hain.. basket I kept you away from here so that ur surprise didn't get spoilt.. so where is my hug..?.." Armaan said in a naughty tone..

"Armaan.. yar tujhe abhi thodi.. tujhe to baad mein hug milegi na.. akele mein.." Atul teased.. Ridhhima was embarrassed as everything was said in front of Mr.Mallik, Shubhankar, Kirti, Shashank nd Padma too..

"Guys Arav kahan hai..?.." Ridhhima asked looking around.. "Hmm.. yeh raha apka naughty prince.." Armaan said when Arav tugged his jeans.. As soon as Arav saw Shashank there besides Mr.Mallik he went to Ridhhima quickly.. Ridhhima was upset at this scene nd knew no way to stop Jai Mallik when he wanted to take Arav with him as he was going with Shashank.. so Armaan came to their rescue "Dad.. Arav aaj sare time apni mamma ke hi saath rahega.. to make it special.. haina arav.." to this Arav nodded nd hid himself in ridhhima's shoulder as she walked away to the table where interns were sitting.. Jai Mallik was convinced but Shashank definitely saw through Armaan's tone nd was sad..

 

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

Now AR, AA, RM nd Arav were sitting at the table with new interns nd then it was shubhankar nd Kirti sitting nd then Mr.Mallik with Shashank nd Padma..

"Guys all of us are here so lets have some fun na.." Anjie said..

"Yup guys.. har baar ki tarah hi karte hain what say.." Atul said..

"lekin guys there are still some people missing.. who used to be with us on every celebration.." Ridhhima said sadly

"Ridhhima beta.. hum yahan India mein hain na that's why they are missing.. London wapas ja kar tum sab khub masti karna.. don't get upset okk.." Jai Mallik tried to cheer her up.. when they all heard HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG being sung by afew people nd they seem to have an accent.. Ridhhima quickly got up as soon as she heard "Happy Birthday RD.." she hugged all four of them..

"Thanx guys for making it.. I was so missing you.."

"That was all ur loverboy's plan RD.." one of them said..all except Malliks knew none of them so Anjie asked Atul "yeh kaun hain Atul.. nd why are they calling Ridhhima- RD..?" to which Atul proudy replied "yeh hai humari D-Gang.. ie Drona ke friends ki Gang.. they're all mine nd Armaan's old friends who have helped in setting up nd bringing Drona to the top.. nd we together are known as D-gang.."

"Oh.. but I didn't see them at Rahul's wedding.. nd whats with RD..?" Anjie said

"Well that's because they were in Singapore for conference.. nd they call Ridhhima- RD because those are the only letters they speak properly while taking Ridhhima's full name.. it not easy for them to say Ridhhima's name again nd again.. they call Armaan ' Ammy.. nd me as AJ.." he said smiling

Shashank was surprised as he saw Ridhhima with them too.. as she was laughing nd hugging a guy too freely.. "Okk guys now the party starts.." Muskaan announced "First let me introduce you guys.." Ridhhima said "Okk.. so everyone this is Steve, Ron, Meggs nd Liza.. our collegues nd friends at Drona.. nd guys that's Dr.Shashank nd his wife.. Dr. Shubahnkar nd Dr.Kirti.. Dr.Anjali or Anjie of friends.. nd there is the intern gang of Sanjeevni.."

"Hmm.. so done with the intro nd time to rock.. RD we'll follow our old golden rule.. so what's ur choice..?.." Ron asked with an evil smile

"Ron.. we're not in London.. nd it will be really embarrassing here.."

"No escape RD.. come on be quick.." Meggs pushed

while Anjie nd others except Malliks had no clue of what was going on..

"Atul what going on.." as atul spoke everyone on the table listened to him carefully "Anjie we have a certain rule for the party.. nd its Ridzie's day so she has to either Dance on the table on a track selected by the gang OR have ten taquilla shots in a row OR chose to listen to one of the Gang's punishment.." as Atul finished Anjie said in a very surprised tone.. "What..?. nd you think Ridz will do any of it.." atul gave a meaningful smile nd said "she has already danced nd had taquilla shots for her last two birthdays in London.. Ridhhima is way too bolder nd stronger now.."

 
"Okk guys so RD settled for no Alcohol coz Jai uncle gave a pretty strong dose last time nd dance seem to embarrass her so lets decide her punishment guys.." Steve said to Atul, Rahul nd Muskaan who were seated with the rest.. "Okk guys how bout a race with Ammy..?" to which Ridhhima laughed nd said "Liz.. he lost one to me in the morning today.." "Vo hoo.. someone's losing his charm.." meggs teased..

"Okk.. RD I think I have a perfect punishment for you nd a treat for Ammy.. dance on some sexy song with ammy nd seduce him.." Ridhhima seemed abashed at this "Ron I told you we are in India nd not at any pub in London.. it's embarrassing guys.."

Armaan finally spoke "Ridhhima.. Dad has seen you doing all this even in London then who are you embarrassed of..? none of us will force you.. guys lets cut the cake first.." "yup.. that's fine with me.." Ridhhima seconds Armaan's suggesstion.. nd Gupta Family were hell shocked at this..

 

Ridhhima first cut her cake nd took out two pieces of it nd fed Jai Mallik nd Armaan at the same time nd hugged them..they're both the most important people in her life.. both loved her unconditionally.. one gave her a new life nd other gave her a family.. then Arav nd Rahul the two kiddos of the house nd then Muskaan nd Atul her friends her support.. then the D-Gang..

 
As they were about to sit for the food when DJ played the song "Khwaab Dekhe From Race" nd there was Ridhhima standing at the floor doing sensuous moves.. everyone except the D-Gang were shocked when she actually pulled Armaan on the dance floor nd mesmerised by her beauty even he followed her moves.. she was moving around Amaan, in his arms too close.. nd Armaan was captivate by her eyes.. Armaan smiled looking at Ridz, she was melting under his touch, and he was loving every moment of this, the control he had over her was extroadinary, what he didn't know was he too had lost all self control to her a long time ago.. all he could think of was her big beautiful eyes nd her slender body.. they did salsa moves.. close dancing.. barely moving nd even seducing moves..

Ridhhima was ever the edge when Armaan brushed his fingers on her bare shoulder, afew times kissing her neck nd all she did was smile nd wink.. they ended with in eachothers arms , having an eye lock.. very slowly, oblivious of their surroundings Armaan came closer nd rubbed his cheek against Ridz cheek, enjoying their moment together, the gentle breeze blew Ridz's hair softly to cover Armaan's face. Her scent completely engulfed his senses.. At first he gently nibbled on her lower lip, enjoying the sweet taste of her lipgloss, he felt a small smile spread across Ridz's lips as he did this..

Ridz enjoyed Armaan's every small touch and gentle gesture but he was really trying her patience now, she just wanted to feel his soft lips on her NOW, but he was teasing her, ever so slowly driving her crazy.. In a wrath of passion she used one hand to steady Armaan's face and with the other she pulled Armaan's face towards her's nd kissed him hard.. They stood there passionately kissing each other for a few minutes, neither wanting to break, all the emotions from the previous night came flooding back, ever around them melted and it was only them, that's all they wanted, to be with each other in everyway..
Finally taking a gasp of oxygen, Ridz pulled away slightly, slightly panting taking in air..

Armaan looked at Ridz, there eyes met for a second, the Ridz looked away all shy, her cheeks turning a rosy pink colour.. he smiled mischieviously nd said "Oye hoye.."

As the D-Gang howled nd whistled they both stood there happy yet embarrassed.. Gupta's were shocked to their core..
"Ridhhima aisi bhi ho sakti hai mujhe to idea bhi nahi thha.." Anjie thought

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

"RD this has got to be the best performance ever.. right Ammy.." meggs teased "stop it meggs.. remember what you did at the pub on ur birthday.." ridhhima snapped back.. all of them started to laugh like maniacs when Ron told Anjie

"she puked on her date for the day.. nd when the guy shouted at her she just kicked him hard.." "you guys are the limit.. Armaan kahan ja rahe ho..?" anjie asked armaan as he got up to go "I'll be back in a moment.." saying so he left to the gate nd stood there talking to  man who had just got a red box with him.. bidding him Armaan put the box on the table carefully..

"Hey RD.. ur husband has gone mad.. look at him.. he is smiling nd talking to a box.." Liza mocked.. Ridhhima frowned nd turned to look at him.. he was actually talking looking at the red box.. "well it seems like a gift.." Rahul said

"but why is he packing it now..?.." Atul frowned.. "guys stop it okk.. he is completely sane.. let him come nd then u can ask him.." Ridhhima defended

"My my.. look.. finally the love has spoken.." Steve teased.. "Exactly.. nd why not.. I Love Him.." ridhhima said proudly..

 
Armaan after awhile came nd put the beautifully wrapped red box in front of Ridhhima.. the suspense excite Arav, who was sitiing in Ridhhima's lap.. "papa.. ishmein ka hai.." he asked "beta yeh mamma ka gift hai.. mamma.. I mean Ridhhima open it.." he said excitedly Ridhima opened the ribbons nd then slowly she pulled up the flaps of the box only to find this

 

"Armaan this is so cute.. aur yeh to.." before ridhhima could finish Arav bounced in saying happily "papa aap yeh bhobho palk se laaye ho..?" Ridhhima smiled at her baby's innocence nd answered "Haan Arav.. yeh aapke aur mamma ke saath khelega.. aapko achha laga thha na aaj park mein.."  listening to her Arav grinned nd nodded gleefully.. "Aww.. my baby.." she kissed him..

 
From a distance shashank was observing all this.. entry of the D-gang.. then Ridhhima offering cake to HER FAMILY.. introducing Anjie as a collegue.. the way she spoke english with an accent.. her bold dance.. Her kissing scene so boldly.. her defending Armaan when he was talking to a mysterious red gift box.. her nd Arav's love.. how she adored Her son.. he found her laughing her heads off after telling the day's ice-cream story.. "normally any parent would scold their children but Armaan nd Ridhhima never scold Arav.." he thought.. "pata nahi ki ab vo kabhi vapas aayegi bhi ya nahi.. ab meri pyari si Ridhhima puri tarah RD bann chuki hai.. apnon ke liye Ridhhima aur gairon ke liye RD ban na aata hai usse.. Malliks se kitna pyar karti ha ki unki koi bhi baat seh legi.. yahan tak ki aaj ke liye Rahul ko bhi sorry bola.. lekin koi kuch galat kehde to kya kuch nahi kehti usse..meri Ridhhima aisi nahi thhi.. "

 
Arav who was settled in Ridhhima's lap suddenly hid himself in Ridhhima's shoulder when he saw Shashank looking at them.. Ridhhima brushed his back nd kissed his head nd asked in a loving tone "kya hua arav.."  he looked at his mother nd with a lump in his throat "vo.. mujhe pitti kalenge.. vo.. maashi ke ghal pe jo thhe.." "Nahi beta.. mamma hai na.. main apne prince ko kuch nahi hone dungi.. chalo ab mamma ko smile karke dikhao.." she kissed him nd tickled him abit.. she relaxed when she saw him giggling "mamma's naughty lil prince.." she kissed his nose saying that.. She looked up to find Shashank looking at them she frowned but relaxed when Armaan gestued her not to react..

 Shashank's heart sank at this.. he felt bad.. he has lost his lil Ridhhima completely today by hurting her son.. he wasn't angry coz of the papers but because for once at that moment he saw Armaan in Arav's mischief.. he yelled at Armaan but later realised the blunder.. he was angry when Armaan authoritatively said that Arav will never again go to Gupta house but realised the time was not correct to show it..
