~Bribed Bride~

The wedding was about to take place nicely for everyone except for the irritated groom who was not liking it a bit that he can't have a good look of his bride. Riddhima's duppata was covering whole of her face, just leaving the chin part in view. Smriti came to took it off so that everyone can look at her but Shaina stooped her hands in the mid-way. "No.No...No...Aunty...What are you doing?" She asked nervously. Armaan who started feeling a bit good seeing Smriti in action, scowled at Shaina's interruption. "Beta, why have you all covered up her face...All guests want to look at the bride" Smriti inquired with a confuse look. "No aunty..." Shaina passed a teasing look at Armaan before looking back at Smriti, holding her shoulders. "I have heard that its a good luck if the bride kept her ghunghat down between all these wedding rituals...It ensures..." Shaina tried to make a line but couldn't figure out anything. "Happiness..." Aditi quickly chimed in to help Shaina. "And love filled life..." Muskaan too joined in. "I have too heard about this ritual aunty" Muskaan added that made Armaan extremely furious. Smriti look down at an unhappy Armaan who was giving him a puppy look and turn back to argue when Aditi said out. "Trust me Aunty..." She hugged Smriti from back and look at Armaan who was looking daggers at these evil girls. "Its worth" She added teasingly. Smriti defeats and after passing a solemn look at Armaan, left the place. The girls who were holding there giggles, wave bye at the back of Smriti and giggled while hi-fiving eachother. Armaan growled at the back of his throat in anger. "Muskaan, I thought you were at my side" He complained like a child. Riddhima was hearing all that and laughing inside the ghunghat in the best decent way, she could manage. "Jeeja Jee...Its the only time that I am allowed to tease you...Cause later on, you will have someone who will defend you against us..." Muskaan pointed at Riddhima that made Armaan smile. Ahh!!!! Just few more minutes...And she will be his... Mrs.Malik. He grinned and allowed girls to get on as teasy as the want.

The rasams all take place after pandit started the hymns and Smriti did the Kanyadaan. Ananya was sitting beside Armaan all the time. She was looking adorable in that dark blue lehnga which have small but delicate zarbdozi work all over it and had a sleeveless choli above. Riddhima specially did shopping for her dresses. Armaan asked Bi to do the Gat-bandhan who did it proudly after involving Ananya to help in this task. They both took the seven rounds and as Armaan put mangalsutra and Sindoor on her, She was announced as his Ardhangni. Later on, all the small fun-filled rasams were played by the girls like joota chupai, challenge with the boys which made the wedding even more happening. Finally, Bidaai took place. Under the veil of lots of blessings, Smriti and Riddhima friends bid adieu to her. She was not crying before but just the topic of his father, brought up by her mother, made her cry hysterically. It was her's father wish to give her away to a man who will love her more than he ever loved his precious daughter. Though she got the man, for once her father wished for her, but her father's absence, made her feel extremely sad. But somewhere she knew, that its her father's blessing and prayers are who blessed him with Armaan. Who knew that a man with a broken heart and having a daughter would have been her destiny.

Riddhima and Armaan were escorted to the hotel, they both were supposed to stay tonight. Shaina, Aditi and Muskaan had already made arrangements in arranging the room while Aryan & Nitin made sure that they would be treated almost royally. Ananya hugged her parents before she left for home with Bi and Smriti and that made Riddhima feels truly bless. This angel surly ensures a happy future for her.

She was lead in to a room having a very aromatic flower smell. Everything was white. The curtains, walls, bed, the sheets, pillows. The floor was light skin marbled but just down on the front of the bed, a small white plush carpet was placed. "Have fun" Shaina, Aditi and Muskaan whispered making her blush before they left. Riddhima took a deep breath inhaling the intoxicating smell and warmth this room was holding. Her body which was just feeling jittery with the anticipation of this much awaited night, was finally a bit at peace. The room was all called as calm yet romantic. The color in the room other than white was black and red. The side lamps were smartly stuck to the walls, giving out a soft yellow glow. And then Riddhima realize that the room was just lit with the side lamp light and the candles of red and white of every size, that were placed all around the room. She moved forward finally as she was just viewing the room while standing near its threshold. The different size candles were placed all around. On side tables, on the middle table of the two huge sofa's, placed on one side of the room. A huge antique black water pot was placed in the corner of the room on which small candles along with rose petals were flowing. Riddhima's gaze turned towards the bed which was having a beautiful heart shape in the middle, made with the help of more roses. And then, it all dawned upon her once again. Its her wedding night. God!!...They had became husband and wife in the eyes of law and relatives, but this night with bound them with each other for the rest of there lives. This night will take that lawful marriage to a completely different level.

Suddenly, she felt all warm up. Her body was sweating. She badly needed fresh air. She slowly move towards the window of the room, taking care of her heavy lehenga by pulling it a little to move ahead. Her fingers were literally trembling when she moved up them to open the window. The sweet soft freshness of outside hit her senses as soon the window open. She closed her eyes, trying to sooth her fast beating heart and took hold of the white window pane. She was standing still in there when two hands crawl around her waist, making her shudder with there bare touch with her skin. "Now can I get a good look of my wife?" His husky voice touched her ears. His cheek stroked her's. She stood still like a statue holding her breath when he move around and came to stand infront to look at this sheer beauty. She was looking stunning in her bridal attire. Her eyelids were down. Her huge nose rind was touching her trembling lips. Her hands were still placed on the panes, holding it tightly as if her life depend on its support. Armaan smiled and softly took hold of her left hand in his right and entwined there fingers. They fall perfect as ever that made him smile before he pulled her hand up and kissed its back. The shiver that run through her body was also visible to him. His right hand moved up to caress her red blushing cheek with the back of his fingers. He ran it as softly against her smooth skin as ever. "Riddhima" He mumbled, holding her chin up to make her look at himself. "You are beautiful" His eyes met hers, conveying how honest he was being with his words. "You looking nice too" She said a moment later seeing that he was lost in her. He smiled warmly before letting his hand run down her body to went around her waist and pulled her to himself. Her chest was against his. His breath was coming in shorts when she couldn't hold that intensity of her look and looked down and placed her head on his chest. There other hand was still entwined that she kissed softly when he took a deep breath. "I am glad now that Shy, Aditi and Muskaan didn't let me see you at the wedding...Otherwise it would have taken a whole lot time to get over with it...You would have made me lost in yourself half of that time" He kept on whispering as she keep listening to him and his heart beat.

"You need to sit down now" Armaan said softly a bit later. They both have been standing in silence, hugging eachother in the same position from 15-20 minutes. Both were enjoying there closeness. It was intimate in an innocent way. "Few more minutes please..." She whined, nuzzling his chest now and took a deep breath to inhale his masculine scent. "You must be tired..." He tried to argue. He was loving this silence and there closeness but at the same time, he was worried for her too. From past few days, she hardly got any time to sit. Shopping, organizing, taking care of ananya, smriti took all of her time. She barely got maximum 12 hours sleep in last 4 days and no matter how much she didn't want him to see that, he knew it. He was keeping tabs on her through her friends and Bi. She had took a leave from office but that didn't make him work on that proverb, out of sight, out of mind. She was always on his mind and the way, she was fitting into his hands, the perfect of there bond ensures him that she will always be on his mind forever. And this moment of closeness will leave an imprint in his memory. "I am perfect...just few more minutes" She whispered back and he allowed her to stay. At that time, he realized that he can always do this. Holding her in his arms, letting silence take over his words, he would feel complete by all means.

Riddhima moved back when she was feeling ok. The jittery feeling had left her body just after getting solace from his. She looked up to see him looking at her in adoring way. "I need to change" She said with a smile and turn to go when he took hold of her hand and pulled her back. Her back hit his chest hardly and she was about to stumble but his grip on her waist, kept her steady. Her breath quickened when she felt his nose tip dipped deep into the crock of her neck, making her sigh. "I have a fantasy" He whispered making her all excited and shy in the same time. His lips moved up to her ear as licked it with his tongue, making her shudder. Her hand move up too take off her heavy gold jhumkas but he softly pushed her hand away. "I will take care of things tonight...please" He whispered in a husky voice making her let down all her defenses. She was standing helpless. She bit her lip to control the trembling sensation as his lips kissed her ear along with its earring and then sucked the upper portion of her ear. His hands started there work to unpin her duppata that moved quickly away, leaving her hairs in a pool of mess. Riddhima's hand came up to her chest where her heart was beating in a quick manner when his hands moved the duppata up to exposed the dori's of her choli. His fingers traced her skin through those tangled strings. She arched her body back as her breath now came is gasps. Thankfully Shaina and Aditi took care that her dupatta was attached to good places on her choli. He unpinned her duppatta and threw it somewhere on the bed. Armaan bend down a little to trace his lips on her bare back visible to his eyes before un-knotting those devil strings. He slowly pulled it out through the zig zag pattern and when just the last one left, he moved up and removed the fabric from her shoulder. His fingers left a tantalizing pattern out there first before his mouth traced it with soft kisses. With each kiss, he moved towards the left to come and stand infront of her. His mouth moved up, tracing, licking her neck and jaw before leaving a soft kiss on her cheek, then other cheek and finally her nose. He moved back to take in the view. Her eyes were closed now, her cheeks were beat-rooted red with shyness, her lips were trembling. Her lower lips was sandwiches between her teeth. He moved his hand up to traced his thumb across those velvet red lipsticked lips in order to make her stop. She opened her eyes to look in his deep desired intense eyes. They were more smouldered and dark. Riddhima felt the gush of butterflies in her stomach. "I want you..." He used the same exact words he said before when they had an encounter at the backyard. Just this time, he knew what he said and meant it. Those three words melted her instantly as she moved up on her toes and cupping his face, placed a soft kiss on his warm lips.

His hands instantly gripped her waist pulling her more into him as his lips smashed hers. Her hands clasped around his neck tightly, before pulling his hairs with her henna filled hands. The fight of the lips started as both wanted to take over. The kiss turned wild from innocent in just few seconds. She moaned as his hands frantically moved around her waist till he got the hook of her lehenga and untucked it, making it falling down in a quick motion. Riddhima gasped feeling cold air coming from the window, striking her bare legs and broke the kiss, as she run out of breath. Armaan protested with a whine but he knew this was needed. This was the most passionate this they ever shared. Even he felt it in each pore of his being. There heads strike eachother as they both were panting. "You literally took my breath away" He said that made her chuckle and he joined her but soon enough, she realized her state. She was half naked while her choli was also hanging on the front. She felt shied and tried to move away but his hands didn't let her move. "There is no way to run, here" His heavy voice whispered bfore he bend down to kiss her once again, making her forget about anything else. His hands move up to pull choli away from her shoulders. His hands guided her's down and the choli felt down along with that built in bra, letting her luscious body coming in view of his hot gaze. His lips move down to her neck, down her shoulders, before he cupped one of his bosoms in his hand. She moaned his name "Armaan" in the back of her throat. Her head felt back and her hands grip on his shirt got tighter. Realizing, the position wasn't comfortable, he bend down and pulled her up in his hands and made her lay on the bed. He moved back to look at her. She was looking like an Egyptian queen, who was in his view with all its glouriousness. The gold was shinning on her body, enhancing it more. He went towards the window leaving her fiery eyes in disappointment to shut it. No noises were allowed in the room other than his and hers tonight. He sighed as he turned and unbuttoned his sherwani seductively. His eyes burned seeing her laying like a helpless deer on the bed. Her hairs were messed up against the pillows. The earrings and neckless were enhacing her charms. The bangles and anklets will create a soft rhythm even if she move slightly. Her fingers were filled with gold rings as well as two of her toes. What left was that waistchain that he had brought as her wedding night gift. He came to her and closed the side lamps not moving his eyes away from her. Her eyes were constantly fixed on him too. Now only candle light was all that allowed them to see around. He went towards the foot rest taking slow steps, teasing her with his gaze and he pulled off the sherwani after taking out that waist gold chain before throwing it away. He get on bed and bend down to kiss her toes, giving special attention to the one's, who had rings. Riddhima sighed heavily and turned her head fiercely side ways in order to push away that crazy feeling which he was invoking in her. He looked up at her for a moment before letting his lips again get contact with her soft skin. Up step by step, he moved from his legs to her thighs. Her legs tried to move away but he hold the firmly and keep on torturing her. When he reached to her waist band that had the only fabric on her which was seperating them, he blew softly, making her shudder. "Armaan" she groaned as he smiled and moved up to graze her belly button. He made her wore the cold waist chain. He licked her belly button slowly after placing soft kisses around her stomach. She was whimpering beneath him, just waiting for the time of closure. Nothing made her turned on so before. Her hands came to grip his hairs as he was kissing and licking his abdominal and pulled him up for a heated kiss. His hands started kneading her as she moaned loudly in his mouth. Her nails were scratching his back when he get down to taste them. "Armaan...Please" She whispered not able to take this sweet torture anymore nor he wanted to. With a final kiss, he moved back and pulled down his trousers before getting hold of her waistband. She lifted up her hips quickly to help him take it off and soon enough they both were lost into the world, they had never experienced. Though Armaan was the experience one here, but the way this girl who was blissfully now his wife made her feel, it was beyond comparison. They both were panting and sweating as they set the rhythm of there togetherness. She cried his name loudly for him by the time they finished. He fell on her, gasping for air while settling his face in the crock of her neck. Both were speechless for sometime "You are amazing...You make me feel complete...Thank you". He said before placing a kiss in there. She just snuggled close to him, not knowing what to say. She was at loss of word. So she just ruffled his hairs to make him know that she understands what he meant before her dizzy head made her fall asleep in his arms, her real world.
