~ PRESENT ~


Armaan was still standing beside d window of his rum... thinking about past... finally a lill smile adorned his cheeks...

"Pata hain GF... uss din jab bhai ne kaha ke finally sum1 came who can give me a tuff competition mujhe tum par bahot gussa aya tha... pehle to bhai ne bataya dat hw close u were 2 MOM... nd then u beat me wth ur SUPER SWEET laddoosss..."

he said nd laughed a lill...

"tab main har haal me tumhe maza chakhana chahta tha... par mujhe kya pata tha jis ladki se bina mile main itna gussa tha, jab usse milunga to..."

nd he again stepped in d streets of his past...




~ PAST ~


"arrey Neha ko bulayo... Jaimala ka waqt ho raha hai!! "


Soon the bride was seen descending the stairs along with her sisters nd friends... Every1 looked at d bride nd appreciated her... But there was some1 whose eyes were admiring not d bride but d girl holding her right hand nd smilingly coming downstairs...


Soon both bride nd groom were on the stage along with their respective "Ladki wale" nd "Ladke wale" teams... But when Neha was about to put the Jaimala in her groom's neck, Armaan nd his friends took d groom up... Poor Neha sighed nd gals started shouting 4 teasing d bride... After some time Akash indicated 2 put him down nd Neha happily put d garland in his neck...

Now its boy's turn... Akash was about 2 put d jaimala in neha's neck when Riddhima nd Muskaan pulled her backward nd shouted mischievously.. "Itni asani se nahi Jeeju" nd laughed heartily... Akash was expecting this 4m his natkhat saali's ... so, he smiled nd waited 4 d moment when they would allow his bride 2 come 4ward... but Armaan was lost... Lost in d sparkle in her eyes!! Her heartily laughter... reaching 2 her eyes... making her more beautiful..!! But soon his trance broke with the cheers as finally jaimala ceremony had completed...



Now its time 4 d main function.. phere and all... bride nd groom sat in 4nt of d Hawan-kund with panditji chanting d mantras... But our Ladkewale nd Ladkiwale were standing opposite side of the mandap nd discussing some thing very serious... Not dat serious bt at dat point their reputation was at stake... both team wanna beat d other nd making d plan of d most exciting game of d event... "JOOTE KAUN CHURAYEGA !! "



Girls were completely engrossed, so as the boys except Armaan.. his eyes were on her!! He was nodding his head wth his team members although in reality he, himself dint hear anything properly... But 2 his bad luck his cell phone started vibrating in his pocket nd he left 4m there 2 talk as there was too much noise 2 hear anything nd the phone call was 4m U.S nd was really imp... He went upstairs 2 an isolated room nd talked 4 some time... But when he was coming 4m d room a girl hit on him... she was running backward... means her face was in 4nt... she was looking in 4nt but walking hurriedly backward... may be trying 2 escape 4m some1...



"OOPPSS !!! SORRY !!! "
she said as soon as she felt her hit on some1 nd turned around closing her eyes!!!


Armaan was lost!! He dint expecting this!! Here Was SHE... whom he was admiring during d jaimala ceremony downstairs... apologizing 2 him...


Soon she opened her eyes... nd saw those Heaven Blue Eyes admiring her... Automatically a blush came across her cheeks... It was weird... She never reacted 2 any guy's admiring eyes like this b4... Moreover, she alwaz returned a strict glance 2 dat guy nd left as soon as possible but today she actually blushed!!! On the other hand, Armaan saw her cheeks gaining the color nd showed his most adorable nd cute dimpled smile but b4 he could say anything she heard some noise of group of boys nd looked backward nd then forward again... biting her lower lip lill bit she was thinking something ... WHAT 2 DO?? Armaan analyzed each n every expression of her when suddenly his gaze fell on her hands... she was holding the SHOES of the GROOM !!!


He understood every thing nd smiled a lill nd said:
"Aap uss room mein chup jaiye..."
nd signaled her the room behind him with his fingers...


She looked at him... then thinking a bit nd having no other choice she went to the room nd hid herself behind the door...


Soon boys came running nd asked:
"Arrey tu yahan kya kar raha hain??"
"ohh... ph attend karne aya tha!!"


She was listening all this nd her heart was beating fastly...
"Iska matlab ye boys ke team me hain... aab tera kya hoga RIDDHI !!!"


Boys: "ohh.. achcha sun.. tune iss taraf kisi ladki ko bhagte hue ate dekha hai kya??? ooh actually Bhai ke joote ladkiyo ne chura li hain yaar... iss taraf koi aya hai kya???"


Riddhi's heart was thumping loudly... "oh god!! aab main kya karoon... soch.. soch yaar... (then making a sad face) iss bar boori tarah fassi tu riddhi!!" she was cursing herself under breathe wen suddenly she heard the most unexpected comment...


"Nahi yaar... iss taraf to koi nahi aya... i think uss (pointing to opposite side) taraf gayee hogi" armaan answered...


Boys: "chal thik hain.. hum uss taraf jate hain.. tu khayal rakhna... humne thik se to dekha nahi finally joote kaun leke bhagi but she was wearing red nd green dress.."
they passed d imp. info to their team leader nd left in search of dat gal having groom's shoes...


Ar: "aab aap bahar aa sakti hain.. sab chale gaye hain!!"


Riddhima was surprised but she came outside d room slowly nd stood in 4nt of him with questioning eyes... He read her eyes nd smiled... "der nahi ho rahi?? aapke dost aapki rahh dekh rahe honge!!"


Armaan's statement broke her trance.. She smiled a lill nd turned 2 go but juz then armaan hold her hand ... She shivered feeling his touch... He came near her ears nd whispered "Par aise nahi.." nd backed off his head... Riddhi turned again 2 face him... finally she asked : "Aap joote le lenge.. nahi??" He smiled seeing the child in her nd said... "agar aap joote aise le jayenge to neeche pahochne se pehle ladkewalo me se koi bhi joote le lega aapse..." Then he indicated her chunri nd Riddhi got d hint... Her eyes sparkled.. She covered d shoes with her chunri nd smiling warmly ran 4m dere... leaving a dazed Armaan behind...



He saw her running downstairs merrily nd soon she was with muskaan nd others... showing the shoes nd smiling like a child who has won a trophy... He was satisfied... he dint care dat boys lost the game... all dat matters 2 him now was her charming smile but wait y had he done this????



"Ye mujhe kya ho raha hain... aaj pehli bar main jan boojh ke har gaya par fir bhi ek alag hi khushi mehsoos ho rahi hain... aakhir hain kaun woh??? par jo bhi hain .. kuch to hain usme jo mujhe aapni aur khich rahi hain..."
He thought mentally watching her glowing with victory... Smilingly he came downstairs nd stand lill behind 4m d chaos 4m where he could admire her...



Although Riddhima was smiling 4 their victory... She knew d truth... & wen she saw HIM standing lill behind ... nd muski busy in bargaining with boy's team she sneaked 4m dere nd went 2 him...


He saw her sneaking 4m dere nd was wondering where she was going but he was alarmed wen he saw her cuming to him gently... Soon she came nd stood beside him... both were facing 2 d mandap were gals nd boys teams were busy in argument but 4m the corner of the eyes they were stealing glances of each other...


Armaan finally decided 2 ask her but Riddhima asked b4 him... "mmm... wo aapne mujhe joote le jane diye... (then looking side ways so dat she could see him).. aisa kyun???"
Armaan replied at once.. "nahi le jane dena chahiye the kya???"
She smiled at his witty reply n then nodded her head in NO... Armaan was confused... He dint think dat her answer would be negative but she spoke...
"agar main aapki jagah hoti... to joote zarroor le leti.."
nd her simple comment melted him completely... He was blown out with her innocence nd honesty...
she again asked.. "par aapne jan boojh ke mujhe jane diya... aapki team har gayee na!!!" she said pouting..
God!! Can any1 be cuter dan her!!! He thought nd smiled... "Thik hain... waise bhi ye to shagun hota hain nd issme ladkiwalo ka hi haq hota hain..."
nd with dat she smiled profusely... "THANK UU !! "
"u're most welcum..."
"waise sirf yehi wajah thi kya???" riddhima asked nd armaan had no answer.. How could he tell her dat he wanted her victory.. her smile... her happiness!!! He could not tell dat.. SURELY NOT...
he nodded in his in disagreement nd said ... "sach kahoon... to mujhe khud bhi nahi pata!!"
Riddhi looked at him as soon as she hear him nd saw only honesty in his eyes... nd lowered her eyes blushing... Armaan smiled.. THERE WAS SOME THING BETWEEN THEM UNDOUBTEDLY... nd he was sure of dat...
"mm... agar aap boora nahi manengi.. to can i know ur name??"
she smiled warmly nd "RI..."
bt he couldn't hear her anymore as muskaan nd other gals shouted in joy...
Ri "lagta hain muski ne finally jeeju ke purse se sare paise le hi liye!!"
Ar "bechara mera bhai"
nd Both broke into fists of laughter...


Wedding was completed... Now groom nd bride were sitting on their respective decorated chairs while Riddhima was sitting on the divider between both the chairs nd talking, laughing nd teasing her di nd jeeju..

Juz then an aged lady said... "arrey kitna thanda thanda mahol baha ke rakha hain... kuch nach-gana ho jaye.."
Mu: "sacchi yaar... thoda dhamal to banta hain.. kyun??
both ladkiwale nd ladkewale agreed... Finally they patched up nd decided 2 perform together...



Muski, anji nd other gals except Riddhima started as Ridz dint agree 2 perform as she was njoying wth her di nd jeeju more...


--CHORUS--

Banno ki mehndi kya kehna
Banno ka joda kya kehna
Banno lage hai phoolon ka gehna
Banno ki aankhen kajraari
Banno lage sab se pyaari
Banno pe jaaoon main waari waari



Riddhima was watching her friends nd other cousins performing... She was smiling heartily .. Some time elbowing her di a lill which made her di blush nd seeing her Di blush she sometime poked her cheek playfully nd laughed heartily.. All she dint know was her each nd every movement was captured by a pair of blue eyes causing him smile at her cute antics... Riddhima was settling her di's mang tika properly wen she heard a male voice nd she looked at d source...


Ho ho, oh oh, ho oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Banno ki saheli resham ki dori


As soon as Riddhima saw d source of d voice she looked away blushing... That made Armaan smile nd he continued singing...


Chhup chhupke sharmaaye dekhe chori chori

Riddhima again looked at his face... God!! she was looking like an angel with that hint of Pink on her cheeks... Poor Armaan... :D


Yeh maane ya na maane main to ispe mar gaya
Yeh ladki haai allah, haai haai re allah


Armaan waved his hand making a pose of "SALAM" while singing nd winked at her breaking her trance as she was lost in him nd undoubtedly he sensed dat... now riddhi was highly embarased.. she was turning pink to red nd to hide her shyness 4m him she got up 4m her seat nd walked playfully with the music nd joined d performance...


Babul ki galiyaan na chhadke jaana
Paagal deewana isko samjhaana

Riddhi pushed Armaan playfully nd he fell on his frnd standing beside...

Dekho ji dekho yeh to mere peechhe pad gaya
Yeh ladka haai allah, haai haai re allah


She pointed 2 Armaan nd singing those lines laughed aloud... Muski nd other gals joined Riddhi nd dancing 2gether... Armaan's frnd gave him a push indicating gals as they had 2 beat them.. Yup, once again they started their gals v/s boys motto in the performance too although dey had decided 2 perform 2gether but how could Tom n Jerry be frnz.. eh?? :P :P

But Armaan dint pay any attention.. he came very close to ridzy singing nd dancing holding her shoulder 4m both sides...


Lab kahe na kahe, bolti hai nazar
Pyaar nahin chhupta yaar chhupaane se


Now how could riddhi answer when he was touching her... She ran playfully 2 Muski freeing herself 4m his hold nd sang...


Haan, roop ghoonghat mein ho to suhaana lage
Baat nahin banti yaar bataane se


& both hi-5ed nd muski poked her tounge to boys...


Yeh dil ki baatein dil hi jaane ya jaane khuda
Yeh ladki haai allah, haai haai re allah


Armaan put his hand on one of his mate's shoulder nd sang looking straight 2 riddhima but she looked away..


Yeh ladka haai allah, haai haai re allah
Sajna
Maangne se kabhi haath milta nahin
Jodiyaan bante hai pehle se sab ki


Riddhima held Anji's hand nd danced nd then indicated 2 her di nd jeeju while singing d last line... Armaan smiled at this.


Ho, leke baaraat ghar tere aaoonga main
Meri nahin yeh to marzi hai rab ki


Armaan went to his brother... holding his hand offered him to join but he refused as its more fun 2 watch dan perform to akash... Armaan agreed nd looked back n saw her smiling nd winked.. God!! she was caught 2nd time by him...


Arre jaa re jaa yeh jhoothi moothi baatein na bana
Yeh ladka haai allah, haai haai re allah


Riddhima sang while dancing .. nd showed him some attitude in order to save her blush...


Banno ki saheli resham ki dori
Chhup chhupke sharmaaye dekhe chori chori


Armaan very well knew d reason behind her fake attitude nd he joined his group.. dancing together...


Babul ki galiyaan na chhadke jaana
Paagal deewana isko samjhaana


Riddhima also joined her gang nd danced 2gether...


Yeh maane ya na maane main to ispe mar gaya
Yeh ladki
Yeh ladki haai allah, haai haai re allah
Yeh ladka haai allah, haai haai re allah
Eh, yeh ladki haai allah, haai haai re allah
Yeh ladka haai allah, haai haai re allah



Their performance ended with rounds of applause... All were happy seeing their children happy nd enjoying...


But some one was very happy nd she is Aashima Mallik, Akash nd Armaan's mother... She turned to dr. shashank standing by her side nd said with wide smile :
"Lagta hain bhai sahab... humare khwaisshh humare bacchee zarrooor pora karenge!!!"
Dr. shashank also smiled nd nodded his head in assurance ...



After performance its time to dinner... All were enjoying their food wen Armaan saw Her Serving His bhai nd bhabi with sweet smile nd forcing dem to eat more... Armaan nd his friends were sitting on diff table juz beside d bride nd groom's...


one frnd of him: "she's cute.. isn't she??
Armaan looked at him... Didn't like some one commenting about HER !! Although he's his frnd but so wat??
another frnd said smilingly: "haan... bahot sweet hain... thik unki spcl laddoo ki tarah!!"
Armaan looked at him at once... "kya?? yeh hain riddhima??? bhazz ki behen????"
They nodded...
Armaan looked back to her... "Toh aap hain Bhai ki Fav Shali shaheeba nd Mom ki Laadli princess... Well.. agar competitor itni sweet ho to mujhe harne se koi problem nahi hain..." He thought mentally nd smiling at his thought he resumed to have his dinner.



Its time to bidaai... Every1 was preparing 4 last moment's ritual when Atul saw Riddhima lost... He went to his best friend..
"Boora lag raha hain??"
Riddhima looked at her best frnd nd hugged him "I'll miss Di a lot , Atul... main kaise rahungi unke bina??"
Atul cupped her face after breaking d hug...
"hey Princess!! dont worry dear... hum sab hain .. na... hum aaj tere sath hi rookenge nd i told muski nd anji 2 stay over at ur place 4 some days so dat u dnt feel lonely much..."
Riddhima smiled seeing his concern.. She thanked God 4 having such sweet nd caring friends... She said.. "I love u" nd hugged him again..
Atul smiled to his best frnd cum lill sis... But he said to tease her: "R u sure, riddhi??"
Riddhima looked at him all confused...
atul grinned nd said: "waise baat kya hain??? maine isse pehle tujhe kissi ladke ke sath itna free nhi dekha!!" nd he pointed his finger side ways..
Riddhima followed his direction nd saw HIM busy with some relatives... She looked away nd blushed...
Atul smiled seeing his best frnd... "Hey.. U're blushing.." nd dat made riddhima melted with shyness.. With gr8 effort she managed:
"ATUUULLL"
Atul laughed a lill nd said : "sorry buttt..."
Ri: "no but... chal tu mere sath... di ki bidaai ka time ho raha hain"
At: "haan chal.. waise tujhe bata doon ye hi Akaash jeeju ke bhai hain.. ARMAAN.. jisse tum sab maza chakha na chahte the!!"
Atul stated simply nd as expected Ridz stopped in her track nd turning 2 him said in shocked expression : "oohhh... to ye hain Jeeju ke bhai!!!"
Atul expected this reaction.. he smiled nd nodded...
Riddhima looked at armaan once again nd thinking wat happened today she smiled again .. "chal.. der ho rahi hain.."
