Chapter 34
PART 33
Armaan reaches office nd calls all his team that's working on that deal.. he has thought of getting a man ready to go on his behalf, but for that he has to be very Confident and loyal.. Armaan discussed the deal with his team but still was not able to spot one of them who was efficient enough to bag the deal.. he sighed assigning them some area of the deal to work on..
Distressed Armaan came back to his cabin and found Anjali sitting there going through some file.. "Aren't you supposed to wait outside when I'm not in my cabin.." he almost barked at her in frustration.. he looked at the file in her hand and it was his file, nothing confidential yet he fumed seeing HIS file with HER.. her snatched the file nd threw it on the table with anger.. "Just get the hell out of my office and my life.."
Anjali felt hurt seeing him talking to her in that tone.. She got up nd in a watery voice said "ek deal jo hum as rivals karne vale hain, agar merge karke karein toh hum dono ki jeet hogi Armaan.. bas yahi proposal lekar aayi thhi main.."
Armaan smirked at her idea.. had it been a real big deal he would have done the same.. but for him THIS deal nd the CASE both would count Only if won ALONE.. "Anjali agar choti deals mein rival ko partner banaogi toh jeet kabhi nai milegi tumhe..behtar yahi hoga ki tum apni company pe concentrate karo aur mujhe apni par karne do.. Armaan Mallik ko AISI deals ke liye kisi ke sahare ki zaroorat nai hai.. khaaskar Guptas ki.."
Anjali got up from the chair saying "tum aisa kyun keh rahe ho armaan.. hum dost hain na tumhare.." ARmaan too got up saying "Rishtey aur Dosti tum kaise nibhate ho maine dekh liya hai.. toh apna naatak ab vahan karna jahan tumhari asliyat logon ko pata na ho samjhi.. now LEAVE.."
Anjali wiped her tears nd moved out of the cabin.. on her way she collided with Atul but she ran away before he could question her.. Atul followed her to the door but stopped seeing her car zooming away.. he frowned nd walked to Armaan's cabin.. Atul saw an angry ARmaan nd guessed the situation.. "hey Armaan.." he greeted armaan with a light hug.. "Kya hua Atul aaj office kaise aaya tu..?" Arman asked as Atul would normally come home..
"Nai voh bas main yahin paas mein ek patient ko dekhne ayaa tha socha tujhse bhi milta chalu.. vaise tuney iss weekend ki kya planning ki hai..?"
"Weekend..? kyun..?"
"Abe teri first wedding anniversary hai na.. ek saal ho gaya shaadi ko aur tu abhi se hi anniversary bhulne laga hai.." Atul teased.. While Armaan was amazed at his negligence.. HE was not getting time for his family the deal nd the case was taking too much of his attention.. he sighed calculating the days.. If he manages to go for the deal he'll be back on their anniversary probably in the morning if he could make it.. he was shaken off the thoughts by Atul..
"Wasie abhi maine bahar Anjali ko dekha.. voh kaafi disturbed lag rahi thhi.." Atul said with concern while Armaan retorted "Wao.. that's news.. Guptas bhi disturb hote hain.." Atul grumbled inwardly as his friend knew nothing about his love interest in Anjali.. "Anjali itni buri bhi nai hai Armaan.." Atul explained..
It was then that Armaan sensed some feelings.. her turned to Atul studying his face.. he shook his head sighing knowing something he never wanted to know.. "Do you like Anjali..?" Armaan asked.. Atul gave a small smile and nodded.. They both settled on the couch.. Armaan battled in his heart to tell him about Anjali's feelings for him but he was brought back by Atul's confession.. "I Love her Armaan.. yeh jaante hue bhi ke usse lagta hai ki voh tumse pyar karti hai.."
Armaan looked at Atul in amazement.. while Atul continued "Par voh buri nai hai.. Insaan apne pyar ke liye duniya se lad jataa hai phir chahe koi uske pyar pe yakeen kare ya nahi.. voh sirf khud ko apna pyar saabit kar rahi hai.. aur vahi main bhi karna chahta hoon.."
Armaan smiled nd nodded "haan Atul.. Anjali buri nai hai.. par iss waqt uski soch galat hai bas.. insaan bura nai hota, uske halaat bure hote hain.. Anjali ke baare mein Ridhima ne kitna kuch acha bataya par uski ek galat soch usse kahan se kahan le aayi hai aaj.. I wish voh tere pyar ko dekh kar mujhe apne mann se nikaal de.. nai toh usse sirf dukh hi milega.." Atul remain silent listening to Armaan as he knew what Armaan said was true..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Armaan entered home nd was amazed to see everything in place.. he wondered what was the occasion that Ryan was playing in his room nd not disturbing things in the lounge.. he saw Ridhima in the kitchen working alone while the servants were clearing the mess Ryan had made after coming back from school.. Armaan poured a glass full of water and gave it to Ridhima.. she took the glass but stopped realizing Armaan's presence..
"Aap kab aaye..?"
"bas abhi.. vaise kya baat hai yeh itni taiyaariyan kyun ho rahi hain..? koi aaraha hai kya..?" Armaan asked finishing her half drunk glass of water.. Ridhima smiled noticing his lil gesture.. she turn off the stove nd covered the stuff properly.. while Armaan followed her toh the room.. Armaan saw his nd her laundered clothes piled up on the couch.. Ridhima was about to move to pick them when he held her wrist nd pulled her close.. "Thodi der araam bhi kar liya karo.. jab jaata hoon tab kaam mein lagi hoti hoon.. shaam ko jab aata hoon tab bhi.."
He pulled her into his lap.. his one arm around her nd other stroking her hair.. she sighed relaxingly nd losen his tie folding it properly.. nd hugged him.. "Kya baat hai bada pyar aaraha hai aaj.." Armaan teased when she put away his tie nd kissed his cheek lightly.. he giggled when she hit his chest lightly nd moved from his lap.. "Arre.. maine bas aise hi kaha tha Ridhu.. tum biwi ho meri.. jo chaho kar sakti ho.." he said with a wink and naughty smile..
Ridhima shook her head, blushing abit.. she picked up his clothes nd was setting them on his wardrobe when he picked hers nd staring putting her clothes.. "Armaan.. rehne dijiye.. main kar lungi.." she took the pile from him while he caught her waist.. "Hmm aisa kya hai tumhare wardrobe mein jo mujhse chhupa rahi ho hmm.. boyfriend ke love letter hain kya.." he asked giggling but stopped giggling seeing her non-plussed face..
He made a baby face nd kissed her nose sloppily making her smile at his kidish behaviour.. "aapko har waqt masti sujhti hai na.." she said as a matter of factly.. making him smirk proudly saying "tabhi toh keh raha hoon ke mujhe help karne do.. nai toh agar mujhe pakki vali masti chadhi na toh kuch kaam nai hoga tumhara.." he ended naughtily.. she very well understood his tone.. she thrusted her clothes in his hands nd walked back to his wardrobe.. while he snickered nd walked to her wardrobe..
Afew minutes later Ridhima frowned when she didn't hear any remark or any teasing lines from him.. She shrugged thinking probably he was setting her clothes.. as if her confusion was heard, next moment she heard Armaan whistle.. he was still hidden behind the door.. she walked to him only find a short nighty in his hands.. she knew that flirty smile on his face.. She didn't dare look in his eyes.. she knew he'll embarrass her even more.. She was about to walk off when she found herself pinned to the shelves of her wardrobe and Armaan standing in front of her..
He bent nd whispered "yeh nighty tumne kabhi pehni kyun nai.." she looked everywhere except his eyes.. nd whispered back.. "Yeh voh.. main nai laayi thhi.. voh toh Sapna Di aru Muskaan ne zabardasti dilvayi.. umm.. voh maine.." she was hell nervous while he was losing himself in her innocence.. He never knew when he threw the nighty into the shelf nd kissed her holding her firmly from her waist.. Ridhima tried to push him for a few seconds bit then his passion took over her too.. they were shaken by giggling sound..
Ridhima quickly pushed Armaan nd they stood at an arm distance.. they looked up only to see Sapna nd Muskaan standing with their back towards them.. Armaan faked a cough to acknowledge them when sapna spoke "agar aaka romance ho gaya ho toh hum ghoom jaayein.."
Armaan's face clearly showed that he didn't like the disturbance while Ridhima blushed profousely.. "Kabaab mein haddi.. humesha galat time pe tapakti ho dono.." Armaan grumbled standing next to Muskaan while Sapna went and hugged Ridhima.. Muskaan pitied on poor Armaan nd went to greeted Ridhima..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After Dinner Armaan had put Ryan to sleep nd he himself sat working on his files.. he waited a long while for Ridhima but he finally dozed off.. He slept with his File on his chest nd lights on.. Armaan woke up when he heard Ryan's rumbling.. he walked to his room nd calmed him from probably a bad dream.. he checked the time it was 2am nd Ridhima was still not in the room.. Armaan sighed nd finally sleepily walked to the guest room.. he saw Muskaan asleep while Sapna nd Ridhima were still chatting with their coffee.. Armaan stood their nd was about to go when Ridhima saw him..
"Armaan.. aapko kuch chahiye tha..?" she asked moving out of the room to him.. Armaan nodded nd hugged her saying "I need you.. sone chalo na I'm very tiered.." Ridhima smiled at his sweetness.. she lightly brushed his cheek saying "Aap chaliye, main bas Di ko bolkar aati hoon.."
Armaan shook his head nd leaned onto the wall saying "Tum jaldi se gudnite bolke aao.. main yahin wait karta hoon.." he completed while next second he heard Sapna "Gudnite jeej.. aap le jaiye apni biwi ko, hum kal din mein gappe maar lenge.." They went to their rooms bidding gudnite.. Ridhima was surprised when Armaan fell asleep just after a second of them lying down in an embrace.. she hugged him closer like he does everynight..
Next Morning Armaan woke up with his mobile phone buzzing.. he frowned nd disconnected the call when he felt Ridhima stirring due to the disturbance.. he put his phone on silent nd turned to his beautiful wife.. he blew on her face making the light strands of hair that settled on her cheeks.. he kissed her forehead mumbling "bas 4 din aur.. humari shaadi ko ek saal ho jayega.. voh din khaas hoga Ridhu.. main tumhe voh har khushi dunga jo humari shaadi par adhuri reh gayi thhi.." he promised himself nd kissed her forehead.. he giggled to himself when he thought of not him but her forgetting their first anniversary as Sapna had told him once that she doesn't even remember her own birthday nd that was true.. When Armaan had prepared for everything on her birthday she remained kept thinking why was he treating her so differently till he presented her birthday cake nd present..
He smiled when she shifted closer nd rested on his chest.. "aaj aap mujhse pehle kaise uthh gaye.." she asked still abit sleepy.. he passed his hands through her hair soothing her.. he remained silent till she looked up at him with a questioning glance.. he smiled nd kissed her forehead whispering "kuch nai.. bas aise hi.."
After a while Ridhima was in the kitchen when armaan came in the lounge with his tie.. "Ridhu meri tie.." he called for her while sapna who was sitting with Ryan got up saying "Jeeju dijiye main bandh deti hoon.." Armaan glanced uncomfortably towards the kitchen.. he was about to hand the tie to Sapna when Ridhima called him from the kitchen "Armaan tie yahin le aaiye please.." Even before Sapna could say anything Armaan rushed to the kitchen.. he sighed thankfully as he was just about to miss her daily routine of romance early in the morning..
Armaan was standing in front of Ridhima nd playing with her hair while she was making his tie.. "Armaan aaj aap Ryan ko school se pick kar lenge.. aaj usse thoda late off milega.. aur aapko bhi toh jaldi aana hai.." She was about to say something more when he cut her in between.. "Chinta matt karo Ridhu main Ryan ko pick kar lunga school se.." he rushed as he got an urgent call..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ridhima, Muskaan and Sapna were lazing around in the lounge when Sapna caught Ridhima looking at the clock after every few minutes.. "Kya hua Ridhu.. tu baar baar time kyun dekh rahi hai..?"
"Di voh Ryan aur Armaan aaye nai ab tak.. ab tak aajana chahiye tha unhe.." Ridhima said in a worried tone.. "to uss khotte ko phone kar le na.." muskaan suggested.. Ridhima nodded nd went to her room to get her mobile.. she dialed Armaan's number waiting for him to answer the call..
While on the otherhand Armaan who was in a meeting with his father saw the caller nd was about to disconnect the call when Ryan struck his mind.. Armaan quickly excused himself and ran out of the office answering the call.. "Armaan aap kahan hain ab taka aye nahin.. aap samay par pohoch gaye thhe na.." she stopped when she heard him getting into the car..
"Armaan.. aap kahan hain iss waqt..?"
"Ridhu tum chinta matt karo hum bas thodi der mein aarahe hain ghar.." he said in a perplexed tone.. but Ridhima seem to have caught the tone.. "Armaan.. meri ryan se baat karvaiye.."
Armaan gulped knowing he'd be killed for this.. yet in a scary tone he mumbled "Ridhu.. main meeting mein thha toh dhyaan se utar gaya.. main bas ja raha hoon ryan ke school.." he waited for an answer but the line got dead.. While Armaan started from his office Ridhim knew he'd take an hour atleast so she also rushed to Ryan's school.. She was outside his school with in 30 minutes..
Ridhima sobered looking at Ryan.. "Mamma.." he rushed into her arms, hiding himself in her embrace.. she could sense he was scared.. "sorry baby.. mamma ko aane mein der ho gayi.." she said kissing his face nd brushing his hair lightly.. Ridhima quickly got him his fav ice cream knowing he might be hungry.. nd they both set off to home..
Going back home Ryan was sitting in Ridhima's lap.. he was not even having his ice cream, Ridhima was making him eat that.. "buddy.. aap mamma se gussa ho..?" Ridhima asked in an adorable tone but he didn't reply.. Ridhima kept aside the ice cream nd cupped Ryan's face.. "mamma is really sorry baby.. ab se mamma aapko roz time par lene aayegi.. please baby mamma se baat toh karo.." she hugged him seeing his teary eyes "Lyan dal gaya tha mamma.. mamma nai aati to.." he said hiccupping nd sobbing..
"nai mera baby.. aise nai kehte.. mamma toh apne buddy se itna pyar karti hai na.. bas ek baar aap mamma ko maaf kar do mamma ab aapko khud lene aaya karegi roz.." Ridhima said kissing his forehead..
"Plomish mamma..?"
"Promise buddy.." she hugged him nd calmed his fears..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Armaan's car drove into the house.. he knew he'll not be welcomed normally today.. When he reached Ryan's school the guard told that Ryan had left with his mother just a few minutes back.. he entered home, praying, with some sunflowers, chocolates to please Ridhima nd some toys for Ryan.. Armaan looked around nd found Muskaan in the lounge with Ryan.. Muskaan made a face looking at Armaan while Ryan rushed to his father when Armaan presented him his new toys and chocolates..
Armaan kept his things away nd sat on his knees with Ryan in front of him nd took him in a hug.. "Sorry baby.. aaj papa ko aane mein der ho gayi na.. aap school mein wait karte rahe aur papa itne gande hain ki bhul hi gaye.." Armaan cupped his face nd kissed his forehead.. He got up nd found Ridhima standing with a glass of water for him.. "Ridhu m sorry.." Armaan said but Ridhima went away without answering him.. He looked at Muskaan who shrugged saying "teri galti hai.. voh nai maanegi itni asaani se.. bohot gusse mein hai.."
Armaan made a baby face nd rushed behind Ridhima.. she was in the room but got up to go when he entered the room.. Armaan caught her hand nd pulled her into an embrace "I'm sorry Ridhu.. mujhe sachi mein yaad nai raha.."
"Yaad nai raha Armaan.. aap jaante hain Ryan kitna darr gaya tha.. usse kuch ho jata toh.." Ridhima asked in an angry tone.. Armaan made a guilty face nd hugged her.. "tumhare rehte Ryan ko kuch nai ho sakta Ridhu.. jo saza chaho dedo mujhe par please aise baat karna band matt karo na.." he said in an honest tone but she struggled out of his hold..
"I Love You Ridhu.. please maaf kar do.." he said jumping infront of her nd holding his ears like a baby.. "bas ab rehne dijiye armaan.. aapne Ryan ko uss waqt dekha hota toh aapko pata chalta.. ab sorry kehne se koi fayeda nai.." she said nd walked to the kitchen.. Armaan followed her to the kitchen.. he saw her working with Sapna nd two servants.. Armaan silently asked the servants to leave nd started working in their place.. Sapna smiled nd left too.. Ridhima turned to take vegeteables Sapna had been chopping when she noticed Armaan instead of Sapna.. Armaan smiled handling her the plate of vegetables while she took them with a straight face..
Armaan scratched his head nd was thinking of what to do next when he saw Ridhima trying to reach for a heavy container but it was out of her reach.. without any notice he lifted her abit so she could reach the container.. for a second Ridhima kept looking into his eyes but coming out of the trance she took out the container nd busied herself in her work again.. though her anger had started melting but she was still abit angry.. for sometime she didn't hear or see any advancements from Armaan.. she turned to look around but he wasn't there.. she was abit disappointed nd turned to get some water when she almost tripped on something.. she gasped seeing Armaan sitting on his knees, holding his ears..
"aap yeh kya kar rahe hain.. abhi lag jaati na.." she scolded him in concern which he could see very well.. "jab tak maaf nai karogi main aise hi maafi maangta rahunga.." he said like an adamant baby..
"theek hai toh phir aap kariye jo karna hai aapko.. par mujhe abhi aapse koi baat nai karni hai.." she said nd went out of the kitchen, smiling to herself.. She loved the way he was trying to make up for his mistake.. while Ridhima walked to the lounge he also follwed her.. seeing him settle with Sapna nd muskaan, Ridhima got up nd went to her room.. Armaan sighed nd sat with a pout, making Sapna and muskaan giggle..
"haso haso.. main bechara yahan pareshaan ho raha hoon ki usse manaun kaise.. aur tum mera mazaak bana rahe ho.. aur kuch nai toh kam se kam sympathy toh dikhao.." Armaan complained.. "Jeej.. voh ab gussa nai hai bas thodi acting kar rahi hai.." Sapna said chuckling at Armaan's surprised face..
"How do you know that..?" he asked..
"I saw her smiling when she came from the kitchen nd even right now when she left.." Sapna said with a smirk.. Armaan scratched his head saying.. "matlab itni der se voh mere darr ka mazaa le rahi thhi.. hmm.. meri innocent si Ridhu itni achi actress hai.." Armaan thought something and smiled naughtily..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Armaan the room nd saw Ridhima pampering Ryan.. Armaan sat by her knowing she won't say anything infront of Ryan.. he naughtily started tracing her waist nd nuzzling onto her shoulder when Ryan was not looking at them.. he smiled seeing his effect on her.. She tried pushing him but all in vain he was making her shiver with his touch.. She closed her eyes when he lightly bite her shoulder.. she was brought back to the world when Ryan shook her.. she looked around nd found Armaan sitting in the couch with a naughty smile.. she never realized when he left her side.. she blushed but hid it from Armaan..
Ridhima again busied herself with Ryan nd lucky.. Ryan rushed after lucky when lucky ran out with a ball Ryan was playing with.. Ridhima also got up to go behind them when she felt herself being pulled nd pinned to the door.. she gulped when she saw him latching the door.. "ab bhi gussa ho mujhse..?" he asked huskily..
While all she could manage was a light nod.. He trailed her cheeks with innumerable kisses.. she tried pushing him away but he caught her hands nd entwined them with his behind her back, bringing her even more closer.. "ab bhi gussa aaraha hai..?" she shivered, feeling his breath on her face.. "Armaan chodiye.. bahar di kya soch rahi hongi.. chodiye mujhe.."
"Yahi sochegi ke shayad tum maan gayi aur ab mujhe itna manane ka reward mil raha hai.." Armaan said with a wink making her blush.. he bent nd kissed her head nd eyes.. "mujhe pata hai tum ab gussa nai ho.. toh ab mujhe tadpana band karo.." he said rubbing his nose against hers making her tremble..
"Armaan.. jaane dijiye please.." she whispered against his lips.. he shook her head in NO nd pecked her lips sloppily.. just when she thought he'll kiss her, he played with her making her desperate.. he instead kissed her nose nd chin nd went down tracing her neck with his nose.. "Armaan.." she moaned as he traced her lips with his fingers.. she was getting irritated as he was kissing her everywhere bit her lips.. she was struggling under his hold still drowned in the moment.. he loosen his grips on her hands nd the next moment she cupped his face nd brought him close into a kiss..
He kissed not knowing for how long but till they were out of breath.. he hid his face in her shoulder tracing his face with her skin nd planting wet kisses all over.. they never knew when they lost track on the time nd their senses.. he picked her up nd proceeded toward the bed.. he was mesmerized looking at her blushing face nd dreamy eyes.. he settled on the bed with her in his lap nd kissed her again.. they were shaken off their dreamy moment with Armaan's phone ringing.. Ridhima quickly stood up from his lap nd straighten her clothes nd hair which seemed to be a mess..
She was going to the door when he caught her hand asking her to wait through eyes.. he quickly finished the call nd stood up in front of her.. she was busy knotting ' unknotting her saree, trying not to look at him.. he encircled her waist nd planted a smooth kiss on her forehead.. "I Love You Ridhu.." she hid herself in his embrace..
"aaj pehli baar tumhe itne gusse mein dekha hai Ridhu.. aur.." he said getting out of the hug.. Ridhima looked down not knowing what to say when he cupped her face gently, continuing "aur.. ek baar phir pyar ho gaya tumse.."
"I love You Armaan.."
