part 17

 

It was Raining heavily since last evening.. This was Ridhhima's Favourite Season.. She Loved that 'Gili mitti ki khushboo..'.. She woke up with a sweet smile nd looked at Armaan sleeping next to her.. she closed her eyes once as if taking in the beautiful sight of him.. she never knew when she started moving closer to him..

She got back to her senses when she felt his hot breath on her face.. she quickly opened her eyes nd looked at him.. she was so close to him.. on an impulse she quickly moved back nd got up kicking herself mentally for getting so close to him.. She shuddered thinking "Agar vo uthh jaate aur mujhe apne itna kareeb dekhte to main unse kya kehti..?"

 


Ridhhima was preparing his breakfast when he called for her.. She gulped seeing him frown.. "Ridhhima maine tumhe bataya thha ki main yeh tie kabhi nai pehenta to phir tumne kyun.." he was cut in between "Aapki dusri tie kharaab ho gayi thhi aur iss suit ke saath iss hi colour ki tie match hoti hai to maine socha.." he voice trailed when she saw him getting angry..

"Ridhhima for God Sake.. stop trying to change my life.. Yeh tie mujhe Tiya ne Di thhi aur uski death ke baad maine yeh kabhi nai pehni.. Agar aaj tum koi dusra suit nikaal deti to koi problem ho jaati kya.." He said abit rudely throwing the tie on the bed.. Ridhhima on the otherhand was scared of shouting nd loud noises, she just Mumbled a small Sorry nd went to get another suit for him.. She quickly wiped the tears nd turned to him with another suit..

Armaan saw her all scared nd nervous coz of him.. he mentally kicked himself for shouting at her like that.. He took the tie from the bed nd took a step towards her while she backed out saying "Ab se yeh galti dubara nai hogi.. Aapko haq hai apni life apne hisaab se jeene ka.. mujhe maaf kar dijiye.. maine socha ki Blue aapko pasand hai issliye yeh suit nikaal diya.." She said in a cracking voice nd left the room crying silently..

 

 

In the Evening while coming back from the office he took her fav. Flowers nd chocolates to say Sorry.. He felt miserable seeing her like that in the morning but before he could say anything she went to the kitchen where Bi was working too..  He gave her a pleading look all the while having breakfast while she was serving.. but she just ignored it nd kept mum..

He got out of the car nd rushed inside keeping a file on his head so as covering himself from being wet as it was raining.. he went in but Ridhhima was nowhere in sight.. he kept all the things on the sofa nd went around the house.. he finally found her in the backyard.. she was standing there in rain playing with raindrops nd Ryan who was wrapped up carefully in his clothes nd was sitting under the shed enjoying the breeze nd lil rain shower..

Ridhhima Loved Rain like anything..  she would just forget everything while enjoying the rain.. She stopped jumping around when she saw Armaan standing by the steps nd gazing her.. she looked at him mischieviuosly for once forgetting how he shouted at her in the morning, nd threw a palmful of water on him.. Ryan clapped seeing Armaan wet nd Ridhhima giggled with him.. Armaan took afew steps closer nd caught her by waist bringing her closer.. "Andar chalo thand lag jayegi tumhe.. aur mujhe tumhe kuch important bhi batana hai.." he said bursting her Love Bubble..

She pulled herself away from him abit nd walked into the house consciously.. She mentally patted herself for wearing a dark coloured suit nd not a saree or a pastel color suit as they would have got transparent in rain..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 
"Tumhe pata hai I talked to Sapna nd Atul for the project.. Atul to help nai kar sakta coz he works in Shashank uncle's hospital but Sapna has agreed to help me.. She works in the hospitals that Abhimanyu owns.. Nikki's Fiance.. the project is definitely ours now.. coz no one can beat Malliks nd Modi's union.. isn't that gr8..?" he said fully excited..

Ridhhima listened to him with concentration nd nodded in agreement.. She still kept mum as morning incident came back to her mind while she was putting his suit correctly on a hanger..

Armaan gulped he knew why is she acting strange.. "Look Ridhhima.. I said I'm sorry for my behaviour.. mujhe waqt lagega apna ateet bhulne mein.." he said taking hold of her hand.. which she withdrew nd said "yahi to fark hai na humari soch mein Armaan.. main aapke ateet ki sirf buri yaadien mitana chahti hoon aur aap apna pura ateet bhulna chahte hain.. chahe vo aapki koi galti ho ya aapki Dosti.. kya itna aasaan hai aapke liye Apni itni achi Dost ko bhul janaa..? kya aap mujhe bhi aise hi bhul jayenge Armaan..?" she asked with tears in her eyes..

He knew he had hurt her deeply this time nd No Flowers or chocolates could make up for it.. While on the otherhand Ridhhima was confused.. she wondered why his lil words have hurt her so much.. why his words of rudeness have made her Heart insecure about her Love yet again..

She was going to the kitchen when she passed Tara nd Nikki without even acknowledging them Tara looked at Nikki abit confused but soon she got things clear as she saw Armaan coming ut of their room with equally glum face.. he came nd hugged Tara nd Nikki saying "Mom.. Why is life so confusing..? main jitna khush rehne ki koshish karta hoon utna hi dukhi ho jata hoon aur apne saath auron ko bhi rula deta hoon.."

 
Tara made him sit with her while Nikki left to be with Ryan for sometime..
"Kya problem hai Armaan..?" tara asked gently..  "Kuch nai Mom.. main bas aise hi.. I'm fine.. aap bataiye Nikki ki shaadi ki taiyaari kaisi chal rahi hai.." armaan asked changing the topic..

"Sab theek chal raha hai beta.."She said nd then thought of something saying "Tu do din baad Delhi jaa raha hai na.. Iss bar tu akele nai jayega.. Ridhhima bhi jayegi tere saath.. Shaadi ke baad tum dono kahin nai gaye ho.. vo bhi thoda acha feel karegi ghar se nikal ke.." Armaan frowned but nodded while Tara was happy as she was giving AR an opportunity to be alone so that they can share their feelings..

Seeing Armaan hesitating abit, Tara herself asked Ridhhima to accompany Armaan to Delhi.. ridhhima was very apprehensive knowing that she would be with Armaannd Ryan would be alone here.. "Armaan hum Ryan ko lekar kyun nai chal sakte..? vo raat ko aapke bina theek se nai sota.." Ridhhima tried reasoning something so as to not leave Ryan back in Mumbai.. but nothing worked..

They left after lunch when Ryan was asleep.. As Armaan sat in the car to leave for the Airport Ridhhima made an excuse saying she forgot her mobile nd quickly went to Ryan's room.. She brushed his head lovingly nd kissed him lightly before leaving..

 

All through the journey from Home to Airport nd then in the flight Ridhhima was awfully quiet.. Armaan was feeling empty aswell.. Soon they reached the hotel which was One of the top most hotels [URL=http://www.delhilive.com/system/files/images/ITC_Maurya_sheraton.jpg]Maurya Sheraton..[/URL]

As they changed nd Ridhhima was going out in the balcony Armaan caught her hand.. "Main aisa kya karoon ya kya kahun ki tumhe iss baat par bharosa ho jaye ki tumhara pura haq hai meri zindagi par.. maine jo kaha tumse, kya tum vo sab bhul nai sakti..? ek baar maaf kar do na Ridhhima.. mujhse tumhari yeh khamoshi nai sehen hoti.. Pehli baar tumhara Dost tumse kuch mang raha hai Ridhhima.. uska dil tod dogi tum..?" he asked with a puppy dog face..

Ridhhima knew that though he was pretending to be all calm nd light, everything he said was very serious for him.. he wanted an answer.. "Armaan.. maine aapko maaf kiya.. mujhe aapse koi shikayat nai hai sach.. main bas yehi soch rahi thhi ki humara yeh rishta kahan jaa raha hai.. hum ek dusre ke saath yeh theek kar rahe ya nai.." Armaan held her by her shoulders very gently nd planted a kiss on her head saying "kuch galat nai ho raha hai Ridhhima.. humari shaadi ke baad se hi sab theek hone laga hai.. socho matt Ridhhima bas vahi karo jo Dil kehta hai.."

All the while till evening Ridhhima was her normal self.. She Wore the saree Armaan bought for her especially.. She was first shy as the blouse was halter neck but seeing Armaan's hopeful eyes she couldn't deny..

 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In the evening They reached the Hotel where they had the party.. It was afew kms away from the hotel they were staying at.. All the while during the party Armaan had his eyes fixed on Ridhhima while Anjali nd Shashank who were at the party felt bad seeing them together.. they thought Armaan would come alone.. As known Armaan nd Abhi bagged the project nd Armaan Thanked Ridhhima nd Abhimanyu from all his heart.. His small gesture made Ridhhima proud that she was in Love with him..

Greeting so many guests was boring.. So After the success party Armaan nd Ridhhima decided to leave for their hotel as it was abit late nd Ridhhima wasn't keen to stay at the party aswell.. they walked to the parking, the whether was too windy nd chilling.. Armaan looked at Ridhhima who was rubbing her arms nd was shivering abit.. he smiled abit, took off his coat nd draped it around her shoulders.. she looked at him nd for a moment both were lost in each other's eyes.. It was a really pleasing feeling for Ridhhima for she had never fallen in love before nd even now her mind never let her admit it.. they came out of the moment when it started drizzling.. Armaan held her hand nd quickly made her sit in the car before she gets wet.. Ridhhima was touched by these small gestures of him.. he cares so much for her.. the way he praised nd thanked her for his success at the party made her respect him even more..

 
Her Chain of thoughts broke when Armaan asked "So tell me.. kaun hai vo..?"
Ridhhima was confused.. "Kaun.. kya matlab..?" Armaan gave a naughty smile nd said "Haan.. ab main to tumhare saath hoon haina.. phir bhi tum kisi ke khayaalon mein ho.. to main bas yeh pooch raha thha ki kaun hai vo lucky insaan jiski vajah se aap mujh jaise handsome ko ignore kar rahi hain.."

Armaan's flaunting made Ridhhima giggle at his sweetness..

"Armaan.. apne baare mein itni misconceptions.." she teased only to get it back fired "Haan haan.. isiliye to abhi thodi der pehle tum meri aakhon mein kho gayi thhi.. haina.." Ridhhima blushed at his comment..

They were surely enjoying the drive as the romantic whether nd their expressive eyes were giving words to the silence.. they were about at an hour's distance from the hotel when their car broke down.. Armaan went to check but couldn't figure out anything.. he came back completely drenched as it was raining heavily now..

 
"Ridhhima tum yahin ruko main kisi ko lekar aata hoon.." Armaan said while Ridhhima held his hand immideately saying "Nahi.. aap please mujhe yahan akela matt chodiye.. aur waise bhi itni baarish mein bahar jaenge to aapki tabiyat kharaab ho jayegi.. pehle hi aap itna bheeg chuke hain.." Ridhhima said in a scared nd concerned voice.. 

"Achha theek hai.. main kahin nahi ja raha tumhe chodke bas.. Ridhhima ek kaam karte hain.. vo dekho vahan kisi ka bangla hai unse help mangte hain.." Armaan said nd Ridhhima nodded in agreement as she also thought that spending the night in the car, on a deserted road, in such bad whether might not be safe for them..

they came out of the car nd ran to the gate of the bunglow.. after knocking thrice the watchman came out.. he told them that noone lives in here.. Armaan gave him some money nd requested him to let them stay for the night.. after a lot of persuation he agreed..

"Maaf karna sahab lekin humare paas sirf out house ki chaabi hai.." the guard told them.. they looked at eachother nd nodded as something is better than nothing.. by the time they went inside they were both drenched.. the guard told them that they can check store room nd the cupboard for any clothes or blankets nd went away.. as Ridhhima checked the store room nd cupboard, Armaan lit the fire in the fire place to gain some heat.. Ridhhima came out with two cotton sheets nd one huge blanket.. "Umm.. andar koi kapde nahin hain.. bas yeh hai.." Ridhhima said frowning nd shivering but gulped when she saw him sitting in front of the fire with bare top..

"Armaan.. aap.. aapki shirt..?" Ridhhima asked hesitantly..

"bohot bheeg gayi thhi to abhi sukhai hai.." Armaan said casually without noticing Ridhhima's self concious tone.. Armaan then got up nd moved to her.. he took one of the cotton sheet nd went inside the room.. afew moments later he came out with the sheet around his waist nd his trousers in his hand.. he went spread his trousers on the table near his shirt..

Looking at him Ridhhima's heartbeat increased.. she looked at him in horror.. she gulped as she knew resisting him tonight would be most difficult for her.. his well tone body, wet hair nd those deep blue eyes were making her go red.. she came out of imaginations when Armaan clicked his fingures in front of her.. she looked at him frowning "kabse bula raha hon.. kya soch rahi ho.." Armaan asked.. Ridhhima bowed her head down averting her eyes off him as the closeness was killing her.. "Yeh lo tum bhi change karlo.." Armaan said giving her the other sheet..

Ridhhima froze listening to him.. she gulped nd her heart beat got shallower.. looking at Armaan's eyes she was abit unsure.. "lekin main yeh kaise I mean sirf yeh sheet.." she fumbled nervously nd then looked at him.. she found nothing but concern in his eyes.. "Jao Ridhhima.. agar aise hi bheege hue kapde pehne rahogi to beemar ho jaogi.." Armaan said in a soft tone as he understood her hesitation..

 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Armaan was sitting by the fire place stiring the coals with a wooden stick.. he froze when he saw Ridhhima emergimg out of the room.. she was looking hot.. her delicate body was wrapped up in a white cotton sheet keeping her shoulders bare.. the sheet came upto her knees.. he felt his heart stir when he saw those tiny droplets of water on her shoulder due to her wet hair.. wet hair.. how he wish he could pass his fingers through them..

She was walking towards him slowly nd conciously.. she first spread her clothings on the sofa nd then moved towards fire place.. she gulped nd took a deep breath when she saw him gazing at her intensely.. she could see the pool of passion nd love in his eyes for her.. she blushed crimson red nd sat besiedes him on the carpet near the fire place.. she had no guts to look up at him while he was constantly staring at her..

A current passed through her as he held her hand in his.. she was expecting some more but was surprised to feel nothing more.. he was just holding her hand that's it.. the respect for him has risen even more by this gesture of his.. she had seen the desire in his eyes just a few minutes back, yet he is controling himself nd not forcing her to accept this relation phisically too.. although his closeness doesn't prick her NOW.. but she is way too shy to say that to him.. in other words she was too shy to admit that she now sometimes fantasize about them being in close proximity.. she blushed at her own thoughts nd faced the other side so that Armaan couldn't see her blushing but he did.. he tighten his hold on her hand nd smiled..

For  afew minutes they were just sitting in the same position, holding hands while their silence was talking volumes.. Armaan knew she feels something for him too but wanted her to accept it on her own.. since the day they got married he has made up his mind that he would never force her for anything..

Just as he was thinking all this nd Ridhhima was blushing, sound of a loud thunder hit them.. leaving his hand Ridhhima quickly hugged him tight.. he knew she was afraid of thunder.. he hugged her back nd calmed her down..

After a few minutes Ridhhima realised that she was in his lap, hugging him tightly with just a cotton sheet around her.. she blushed badly nd slowly came out of the hug.. Armaan still had his arms around her.. he looked at her blushing face which was making her look more beautiful.. "you look even more Beautiful when you blush.." he said lightly grazing her cheeks with back of his hand..

Ridhhima gathered all her courage nd looked into his eyes.. next second she was also lost in him..while he was trying to read her green eyes.. A wave of passion hit them as their desires took over their mind.. he came closer nd planted a soft kiss on her forehead making her smile..

looking at her smile he knew she was okk with it so he kissed her cheeks warmly with gr8 passion making her gasp a little.. her gasp surprised both of them.. she rolled her eyes to avoid looking into his eyes but she gulped when she felt his breath on her lips.. she knew he was close.. very close.. while he waited for her to protest instead she just closed her eyes.. he was happy at this gesture.. he first kissed her eyes lightly then pulled her face closer into a liplock and then as the moment grew into longer passing seconds he felt her kiss him back, with an ardor to match his.. He caressed her back gently sliding his hands from her shoulder to lower waist, while she moaned in pleasure urging him to never let go.. As they finally broke apart, both out of breath, he looked at her.. They just shared their First Kiss.. she lowered her gaze, blushing to the core and while brushing her lower lip with his thumb he said "Oye hoye.." Listening to him Ridhhima just bowed her head down to hide her blushing face from him as he teased her more..

He was happy that unlike last time she didn't cry after their private moment of passion they shared.. he took it as 'Yes' for their relationship to progress.. he bent abit nd kissed her earlobe nd bit it seductively while she just hissed in pleasure.. she was completely drowned in the moment.. not able to control any further he kissed her again, letting his hands now explore her.. very gently he made her lie down on the carpet nd mounted onto her.. clasping her hands with his own, he buried his face in the curve of  her neck kissing her very passionately, leaving patterns of his wet kisses from her neck to her shoulder.. As his hands went to undo the sheet around her, she sighed his name breathing heavily nd shying..

"Armaan.. nahi please.."

Sensing it as her nervousness nd not protest, he bent over to her ear nd in a very husky tone said "Nahi Ridhhima.. please aaj apne aapko matt roko.. mehsoos karne do mujhe ki tumhare dil mein bhi mere liye pyar hai.."

This was it now.. listening to him as his lips lingured on her earlobe for a while melted her completely.. looking at her closed eyes nd satisfied smile, he again took her lips into a gentle kiss nd very slowly undid the sheet draped around her slender body.. as the two lovers made love passionately, they both felt relaxed within.. for finally being in this heavenly oblivion they had waited for, for an unfairly long time..

He was awake for a long time even after she was lying fast asleep in his arms with her head on his chest.. he kept on stroking her silky hair nd unknowingly went to sleep..

 

 

 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 
Opening her eyes she just felt her throat dry nd her body felt tiered.. she felt herself holding a hand very tightly as she got up.. she froze when the realisation dawned her.. she was lying nak*d in his arms.. she felt mortified for losing herself like this.. "OMG.. yeh maine kaise.. kaise face karungi ab main Armaan ko.. ab to unhe yahi lagega na ki maine yeh rishta har tarah accept kar liya hai.. aur kya garanttee hai ki ab vo bhi auron ki tarah mujhe akela chodkar nahi jayenge.. agar ab vo bhi mujhe ignore karne lage to..? main apni zindagi ka aakhri bacha rishta bhi kho dungi.. kyun main unse pyar karne lagi hoon..? kyun kal unka mere kareeb hona itna achha lag raha thha.."Ridhhima thought all this nd quickly got up to get herself dressed.. getting ready she stood by the window crying silently..

 

Armaan woke up with a huge smile on his lips.. it was indeed the best morning of his life.. he frowned when he found her missing from his side.. looking around he saw her standing by the window claded in her yesterday's party saree.. he smiled nd walked upto her wrapping the sheet around himself..

Ridhhima shuddered when she felt his arms around her bare waist nd his lips on her shoulder.. two fat tears made their way down her cheeks.. "Good morning love.. kya hua itni jaldi uthh gayi.. pata hai kal ki raat meri zindagi ki sabse khubsoorat raat thhi.. main tumhe bataa nahi sakta ki main kitna khush hoon.." Arman said a happy voice.. not getting any response he turned her around only to find her breaking into louder sobs.. he was shocked to see her like this.. he immideately hugged her nd caressed her hair calming her down..

As he realised the reason of her crying he felt guilty for making her cry.. he understood that she was crying coz of what had happened in between them last night..

 
As her sobs subsided abit he made her sit on the sofa nearby nd knelt down in front of her.. he cupped her face nd wipped her tears very lovingly.. he then planted a warm kiss on her forehead implying that it was out of pure love nd not lust.. he knew he had a few things to clarify so he started.. he held her hands in his nd looked at her very lovingly.. "Ridhhima.. if I say that I regret what we did last night then it would be a complete lie.. It was nothing but pure love for me.. I love you Ridhhima not just from past 6 months but since we were kids.. I could never fit anyone in that perfect picture of my wife other than you.. not even Tiya nd trust me she knew this very well.. All this while I kept my eyes on you when I was married to Tiya I would find out about you just as friend but the intensity never went down.. last night I felt as if all My Dreams have Come True.. it felt so complete.." he finished with slight tears in his eyes..

Ridhhima looked at his face nd then at his eyes.. she found only love for her..
Even I had equally participated last night then why am I blaming him.. why is he saying sorry.. he just now confessed how much he loves me.. isn't it all I ever wanted from him.. a commitment.. a promise to never leave me alone nd love me forever.. Her heart again got into a battle with her mind.. but this time her heart won.. she looked at him who was gazing at her trying to read her expressions..

"Armaan.. will you stay by my side forever..?.. maine bohot mushkil se kal raat apne dil ki baat maani thhi.. aap kabhi mera dil to nahi todenge na..?.. main ab aapke bina nahi jee paungi.." she just hid herself in his arms while he felt that the best days of his life have just welcomed him.. he hugged her tightly nd kissed her head with love.. "Main tumhe kabhi chod ke nai jaunga Ridhhima.. kabhi nai.."

 
A happy marriage is a new beginning of life, a new starting point for happiness and usefulness..
