And her green almond eyes has a tear escaped from her eyes and nikki holds her hands and then she just heard karan uncle

And seeing that she is shocked he is getting engaged and she don't even knows about this how this can be possible such a big decision of his life and he don't even think to talk about it let alone talk he doesn't even need to inform her is this her value in  his life she is getting a surprise of her own best friend's engagement like this she surely till now on floor if nikki is not holding her and as few tears escaped from her green almond eyes she heard someone calling her and she immediately wiped her tears before any of them see her in tears she smiled and finds karan uncle speaking
K:"so rhea kaisa laga surprise"
She try to smile and then finally getting a grip on her emotions she smiled and said in her bubbly voice  as
R:"offcourse uncle aapka surprise mujhe acha na lage aisa kabhie hua hain kya but  I am angry aapnein aur kisi ne bhi mujhe bataya tak nahiin na this is so not fair"
She said pouted a bit and karan hugged her sideways and then he

He said and riddhima looked at him and then smiled a bit for their sake so all this is going on  from past month and he didn't talked about it she feels so left out but then gathering herself fully she just
R:"koi baat nahiin uncle I can understand vaise bhii I know nandu maa ne bahut time liyya hoga ooska horoscope match karva ne meiin kyon nandu maa"
She said chuckling a bit making the atmosphere little normal and everyone smiled seeing her smiling and then she
M:"so rhea tujhe koii problem nahiin hain that means I am safe too kyoon"
They heard muskaan as they turned they saw her coming in a beautiful lehnga choli looking beautiful off course she is to be groom's sister and
R:"jii nahiin you are not safe tujhe subhh se pata tha ya pehle se but still tune mujhe means humein batana zaruri nahiin samjha this is so not fair"
Ra:"bilkul rhea vaise bhii aab tou iskii bhanhi aa rahii hain you yeh humein kyoo  kuch batayegi"
Rahul said as he and abhie entered along with their parents and as the elders greeting each other they left to attend the guests leaving children to their own and before going nandini placed a soft kiss on riddhima's forhead saying in her ear
Na:"I love you"
And riddhima passed a beautiful teary smile to her nandu maa dont knows she feels something in her hug today
R:"me too nandu maa"
And then she go back to the bickering of their friends where as usual Rahul is taunting muskaan not telling anyone of them and she is saying her part
Ra:"kyoon rhea Isnein aaj galat kiyya hain iska tou abhie se hii yeh hal hain jab iskii bhabhi aa jaayegi tab tou pata nahiin yeh hum logon ko shayad poori tarah bhull hii jaaye nahiin"
He again taunted her but what he didn't knows that though he is taunting her but its actually stabbed riddhima's heart hearing that bhabhi words again and again and nikki just
N:"chodo na rahul aab iss baat ko kya zayda khinch na hum aandar chalein aunty uncle sab humein dekh rahein honge yar"
She said try to ease the situation for her friend knowing how much it must be hurting her but as if today the luck is not on their side at all as next moment
Ab:"han nikki sahii keh rahii hain muski ko tou iskii punishment baad meiin mill hii jaayenge abhie tou humare aaj ke guest of honour dulhe raja se tou mill len so muskii kahab hain tera bhaii"
He asked and riddhima at this moment he is just the last person whom she wants to meet what an irony before coming to the party she is too much excited to meet him and as if all her luck against her today as only then she heard muskii
M:"umm han vo armaan bhaii there he is vo raheiin finally he"
She said and all of them turned the point she is pointing and no matter how much she did not want to look at  him but her heart cheated and her green almond eyes followed her heart and there he is coming wearing a coffee suit looking like a perfect gentleman his hairs combed perfectly and in all he is looking like a greek god and if their is some other occasion she surely going to him and hugged him tightly by complimenting him how handsome he looks but not today and he too knows some special person is looking at him as those eyes those gaze he can feel in the rush of million people and yes as there she is standing along with all of her friends looking beautiful as ever she dont needs to try to look beautiful she is beautiful always like a angel and today is the same day too she wearing that orange colour churridar anarkali churridar he personally choose for her in past week as he accompanied his mom and her mom to shopping her long hairs are left open just the way he liked and her green almond eyes enlightened with a little kohl and het shining gloss on her rosy lips she looks prettier always he frowned as he saw her that dress without duppatta his trance breaks with his younger brother atul's voice wearing a suit who is accompanied him as
At:"bhaii kahan kho gayye aap dekhiye sab aapka hii intezar kar rahein hain dekhiye rhea bhi hain vahan vaise bhaii all the best rhea se bahut daant padegi"
He said and armaan knows where he is hinting and off course seeing her face he knows how much she is hurt and no need for him to think he knows her more than she knows herself he knows riddhina is hurt and his heart clecnched in pain and he dont knows when his steps moved towards her along with atul and all of them wishes him excepr her and before armaan or riddhima can say anything yhey heard muskaan as she speaks as
M:"vaise rhea tuu mujhe baad meiin punishment den dena par abhie tou tujhe dance karna padega after all tere best friend kii engagement hain yaar kyoon bhaii"
She said grubbing her attention and then he looked at her as her eyes too met with his blue oceanic eyes and their eyes speaks pain but the another have has questions too and their eyes locked with each-other and their eye lock breaks with rahul's voics
Ra:"han yeh baat tune sahii bolii vaise bhi armaan kii sagai meiin riddhima na nache aisa nahiin ho sakta naa kyoon armaan hain naa"

He said and put his hand around riddhima's shoulder and she smiled knowing how much uncle is right and then as

And as they heard the voice owner and armaan's eyes got  moistened hearing her

 Ik Radha Ik Meera Donow Ne

Shyaam Ko Chaahaa

Antar Kyaa Dono.N Kii Chaah MeiiN Bolo
Ik Prem Diivaanii, Ik Daras Diivaanii
Ik Raadhaa, Ik Miiraa ...

(She danced did all her classical steps remembering armaan loved her dancing especially the classical dancing of hers)

Raadhaa Ne Madhuban MeiiN DhuuNdhaa
Miiraa Ne Man MeiiN Paayaa

(She closed her eyes as she did her steps and saw him and herself smiling theirs best.)

Raadhaa Jise Kho Baithii
Vo Govind Aur Daras Dikhaayaa

(She looked at him as pain hit her that he did not tell anything to her about his engagement.)

Ik Muralii Ik Paayal, Ik Pagalii, Ik Ghaayal
Antar Kyaa Dono.N Kii Priit MeiiN Bolo

(She shakes her legs as she takes turned around him her anklets tinkles makes him pain more)

Ik Suurat Lubhaanii, Ik Muurat Lubhaanii
Ik Prem Diivaanii, Ik Daras Diivaanii ...

(She go closer to him and then caressed his face little bit and then moved back pointing to him as telling her heart his just reflection enough for her for lifetime)

Miiraa Ke Prabhu Giridhar Naagar
Raadhaa Ke Manamohan
Raadhaa Din RaInNgaar Kare
Aur Miiraa Ban Gayii Jogan

(She danced as her eyes points to Sanjana's picture and just armaan noticed that and his heart feels blood seeing her pain as)

Ik Raanii Ik Daasii, DonowN Hari Prem Kii Pyaasii

(She danced as she looked directly in his blue greaysih orbs as the green blue met they tells lots of things and as riddhima falls on the floor near his feet as if saying she is actually his dasi and armaan is spellbound ge immediately stands up others do thinks it's the part of step)

Antar Kyaa DonoN Kii TriIpti MeiiN Bolo
Ik Jiit Na Maanii, Ik Haar Na Maanii
Ik Prem Diivaanii, Ik Daras Diivaan

And riddhima smiled and moved back  from him and takes turnes and turns and then as  music stopped she fells on floor and armaan seeing her immediately rushed to him for getting everything around him and makes her stand up on her feet and they looked in each-other's eyes saying so much to each other especially riddhima's green almond eyes asking lots of questions from him and then suddenly their trance breaks as they heard voice

K:"vaow rhea I never knew that my rhea is so much good in classical dancing also"

He said as he comes towards them and armaan let riddhima straighten herself as she heard people applauding for her and she just nodded and speaks slowly

R:" thanks uncle"

And then they heard muskaan's voice

M:"yea ridzi mind blowing performance you proved it yaar that you are most happy  for armaan bhaii's engagement na"

She said and armaan looked at her and riddhima's heart clenched in pain hearing it but she masked her emotions and pain in smile and nikki looked at her friend who is mind blowing actress 

R:"off course muskii armaan kii life ka itna bada din aur main khush na hoyun aisa kabhie ho sakta hain kya nahiin naa yar"

And then all of them nodded knowing she is right for her armaan's happiness is her happiness and then suddenly

Sa:"acha aab baki batein baad meiin sagai ka time ho gayya sanjana bhi aa gayyi chalo armaan sab log aao"

She said and all of them nodded and start walkinv towards the stage and they saw sanjana is there but armaan still did not walked he is still standing there holding riddhima's hands that

K:"armaan chal naa aab you cant change your mind beta aur vaise bhi engagement terii hain merii nahiin kyoob rhea sahi kaha naa beta maine" 

And all of them chuckled hearing him except armaan and riddhima then

R:"off course uncle go armaan sanjana must be waiting for you naa"

She said looking at him and armaan did not dared to say anything as she let go of her hands from his grip as armaan can't say her not to do like always as always whenever she tried to go he tighten his grip on her hand but today he cant and he start moving as atul tugged him and riddhima too looked at their seprating hands and armaan's glance too on their parting hands and then

K:"chal rhea beta tum bhi chalo sagai kii rasam shuru honein vaali hain naa"

He said and riddhima effectively wiped the lone tears from her eyes without letting karan see it

R:"jii uncle I am coming aap jayiye I come after drinking the water uncle"

She said and karan nodded knowing she must be thirsty after the performance and

K:"ok beta come fast we are waiting and armaan waits for you beta"

He said and riddhima just smiled trying very much hard to check her on her emotions 

R:"jii uncle I just join you uncle in second uncle"

She smiled and as karan moved from there after giving her side hug as

K:"come fast beta"

R:"jii"

And as riddhima saw all of them involved in the rituals of engagement ceremony as muskaan brings the rings unable to hold herself more riddhima just moved out from there running as fast as she can finally moved outside she fells on her knees as finally her tears made their way out letting her breaks in pieces

R:"kyoon mere saath hii kyoon kiyya armaan tumne yeh kyoon nahiin mujhse baat karii is bare meiin kya main koi bhi maayne nahiin rakhti tumhari zindagi meiin tum  tou mujhe best friend kehte the hum best friends  hain naa tou aapni life ka itna bada decision tumne merii raye Janani bhi jaruri  nahiin samjhi tumne tou  mujhe batana bhi zaruri nahiin samjha aur yahan main pagal sajhti rahii kii humari yeh dosti humara yeh rishta tunhare liyye kuch bhi aur hain jaise mere liyye kuch aur hain shayad tum bhi mujhse pyaar karte ho par pyaar nahiin tum tou mujhe shayad han main pyaar karti hun tumse armaan pyaar 

          Par shayad tunhare liyye humara yeh rishta kabhie dosti  ae zayda kuch tha hii nahiin dosti bhi sirff plain friendship nothing more main hii kuch zayda soch baithi merii galati hain sab tumhare liyye tou main baaki doston  jaise hii ati hun tabjie mujhe bhi tumhari sagai ke baate meiin sabke saath hii pata chala tumne  mujhe sirff dost kii tarah dekha ttumhara koi galati nahiin hain armaan sab mera kasoor hain par aapni galati kii saza main  humari friendship ko nahiin  doongi pyaar main ttumse karti hun par merii yeh feelings  humare beech nahiin aayengi maib tumhari dost hii rahungi aur ose hii nibhaungi aur sab ne sach kaha armaan kii khushi meiin riddhima khush naa ho aisaa nii ho sakta hain main khush hun ttumhare liyye armaan bahut khushu hun

She then wiped her tears which are flowing from her eyes to her cheeks off course she did not put the condition of him loving back when she loved him and now she will not let her feeling hurt him their friendship their real relationship. Smilingly and determined she made her way back to hall for him for his happiness.

And here armaan too feeling her pain he is hurting too and just in all the people his eyes searching her and somewhere he knows she is not there and even he himself does not wants her to be there to see him getting engaged to somebody else it hurt her he knows it and the moment sanjana placed ring in his right hand's finger he saw her standing there clapping and as their eyes met he can saw her genuine smile but as well her hidden tears behind that smile but he can't wipe them nor he cant take her in his embrace as he himself is the reason behind it.

After sometime as all the guests having their dinner  and armaan too is sit beside sanjana for having dinner in which he is not at all interest and the gang is teasing them then he

M:"vaise Sanjana  bhabhi aagar aapko armaan  bhaii se kych bhi manvana ho tou tell riddhima even before mom riddhima kii baat ko armaan bhaii kabhie nahiin taalte hain"

She said as she introduced riddhima to sanjana in her style holding her hands giving her that she is Riddhima and sanjana smiled and in that particular moment sanjana puts spoon full of biryani in front of armaan in pretext of feeding him and armaan who is so much busy in looking at her did not bother to looked at this and opened his mouth when suddenly riddhima comes and pushed the spoon side and throw it taking everybody in shock present there.

Everybody looked at her in shock not expecting this from her and armaan is worried for her what got into her suddenly and the reason of hers behind this act of hers.
