AR FF... FROM THE TIME I SAW YOU...
PART 26...

'And I am so happy we got a new Showstopper to present this dress..' Ms.Khan says...
Everyone started to whisper to each other not knowing wht was happening...
'New Showstopper...' Rahul ask looking at Armaan and Atul who turn back to them as they hear this...
'Kab huva yeh sab...' Muskaan ask looking everyone as others give 'Don't have any idea' look...
They turn their attention back to the stage as Mr.Mathew announce the showstopper to come on the stage... Everyone hold their breath not knowing wht they had to face...

~ ARMAAN POV ~

I closed my eyes praying to god whtever Riddhima had decide to do, it would be good for us... But I was wondering if the showstopper was decided why Riddhima haven't inform me...
My mind was taken away from when I was hearing people talking about her...
Praising to the design and the one who was presenting the dress...

I felt a gest of wind blowing around me... I felt Riddhima was coming closed to me...
I smile feeling her present surround me...
'Bhai... Ab toh aakhe kholke dekho...' Nikki whisper near my ear...

I open my eyes to see Riddhima standing in front of me... My eyes laid on her face which was glowing with happiness...
The glowing which was vanished from her face was back on her face... She was giving her best smile and seeing her smile, smile came to my face...
'I m so proud of her Armaan... I m happy u choose her to be my daughter in law from the thousands of girl who goes drool over u...' Dad whisper to my ear so no one could hear it...
I couldn't move my gaze away from her face...

She was looking so beautiful and gorgeous in that lehenga if she agree to marry this moment, I would marry her...
I keep looking at her and the way she was carrying the dress, masha Allah...
I know how heavy it was as I had lift it when she was doing the work on it...
It was my dream to see her in that lehenga and today, she make my dream come true...
I was in high above cloud nine and smile wasn't leavning my face as she was looking out of the world... I was so happy she is my girl and I m the lucky one...

I saw her looking at me and that smile, Hayye... It will surely kill me..
I saw the spark which was twinkling in her eyes... Which means she was really in good mood and something naughty was going on her mind...
I saw a naughty smile playing on her face and next second I saw her give a quick wink to me...
'I must say, Mr.Mallik has good choice...' One of the person says who was in the crowd...
'Seriously, I never see so much beautiful lehenga in my whole life... Its so beautiful... Look at the design and working on it...'Another person says...
'I m so glad I came to see this show...
Over roll everything design was perfect... But I like this one the most...' one lady who was sitting a few seat away says...
'Yeah even I love this one...
Must say, Armaan got good choice... and he had choosen this one to last, I must say he had think before doing it how to get the attention from people...' Another lady says who was sitting behind him...

Everyone was really happy with the design dresses which was shown in the show...
I just can't stop smiling... However, my eyes were still on Riddhima but my ears were busy hearing everyone respond and I was happy. I once ask her to be the showstopper...
I look ahead to see her walking back to joins the other models..

~ ARMAAN POV END ~

~ RIDDHIMA POV ~

As the show start and still my mind was arguing on two thought, I was so helpless not knowing what I should do...
I was so confused as the war was going between my heart and mind... However both were fighting over one matter but giving two different answer...

'Itna kyun soch rahi ho Ridzy... Of course no one would have any objection if u go there to present that dress..' Her heart says...
'But Ridzy isn't a model.. She could make someone else wear it and present it too...' Her mind says...
'So wht she is not a model.. .Even Armaan and others think she will be the one who could carry the dress beautifully...' Heart says...
'Haan but still, I think u should let someone else to present it...' Mind says...
'Tum chup hi raho... Ek doh help nehi kar sakti... Aagayi aur confused karne ke liye...' Heart says...
'Main toh bas keh rahi hoon she should let someone else to present it... After all she put so much time on that dress..' Mind said...
'Ridzy... Please apni dil ki baat suno...
Even Armaan wants u to present it and everyone had confident on u darling... Ek baar socho...
Tumne bohot time spend ki us dress koh perfect banane ke liyeh... It would be a lost if it didn't get present in the show...
Aur its Armaan choice who choose it as showstopper dress and think how much happy Arman would be if u wear it and present it...
Its not only about Armaan's happiness Ridzy.. Its about Mallik and mallik company reputation... Itna mat socho Ridzy... Just give a try leaving everything else to god...
Abhi bhi time hai Ridzy... Don't think much... U can do it...
U always can... Just go for it...' Her heart says...

So at last I decide, I should do it...
For me, for Armaan... for malliks and mallik company... For everyone who work so hard to make everything perfect for the day...
I call Mrs.Khanna to help me... As I went to change, I ask her to inform Ms.Khan or Mr.Mathew as both were the host for the time to add Showerstopper dress would be presenting by her...
Also ask Mrs.Khanna not to let them knows the name as she wanna give surprise to everyone...
Mrs.Khanna was so glad at last I was taking part of the show...

As I was getting ready, I was thinking about him, how much happy Armaan and everyone else would be... Also knowing I would get the chance to be on the stage with Armaan holding his arm infront of so many people, a blush crap on my face...
Mrs.Khanna help me getting ready and it was time... Time to go up on the stage...
Everyone who was working on the back stage was shocked seeing me in that wedding lehenga... I heard they talking each other and knows they were happy with my decision becox it was mean to be present in any condition to the guests out there...
'GoodLuck Riddhima..' Mrs.Khanna whisper my ears as Mr.Mathew annouce the showstopper on the stage...
I look at Mrs.Khanna who patted my shoulder as if saying 'everything would go well...' giving me a sweet smile...
Smiling to her, I closed my eyes sending a quick pray to god, I step on the stage...

I know I shouldn't show nervous and fear in my expression so thinking about how happy Armaan, his family and gang would be, a smile force on my face...
I know Armaan would be shocked hell becox I had been turning him down from a week saying I can't do it and today I am doing it just to save everyone... To see the smiles on their face...
As I was walking around I keep looking at the people who came for the night... Everyone was amaze by the dress and also enjoying it...
I was glad, glad to see as people was whispering and talking each other looking at the dress... I know it wouldn't matter to them who present it but somehow I felt someone gaze were on me...

I look at the crowd seraching my eyes to those people who would be more than happy about this decision of mine and proud too...
'There they r...' I saw them sitting on left side first two raw with their mouth hanging down on shocked... I wink at them and look at Armaan who was sitting with his eyes closed...
I saw Nikki whispering something on Armaan ear and he open his eyes to meet with mine...
Seeing the priceless expression of his, my smile got big and I wink at him to bring him back to the earth knowing he was in his another earth...

~ RIDDHIMA POV END ~

Riddhima went back to joins the other model as Ms.Khan and Mr. Mathew came back to the stage...
'Wow... I didn't know Ridzy was coming as showstopper...' Sapna says...
'No one knew it Sapna still she came up...' Atul says...
'But I must say.. bhabs is looking sooo hot and sizzling... Dekho toh bhai koh... Abhi tak dekh raha hai...' Nikki said teasing Armaan who still were lost...
'Armaan.. bas bhi karo... Ridzy chali gayi hai...' Anjali said shaking him from as she was sitting behind him...

Everyone start laughing seeing Armaan expression as he suddenly got startlet as Anjali shake him...
'Kiya hai.. Kyun tang kar rahe ho mujhe...' Armaan says as he realised he was lost in Riddhima like a fool in front of everyone...
'Hum kaha tang kar rahe ho Bhai..
Waise aap aise dekhenge toh sabko lagega aap paagal hai... Aap owner ho company ki... Ek ower ki tarah toh behave karo... Atleast in front of others..' Nikki tease him...
'Ab bechara kiya kar sakte hai... Apni hone wali fiance koh dekhte hi sab kuch bhul jaate ho...' Atul joins with Nikki...
'Aur nehi toh kiya... Ridzy hai hi itni pyari aur sundar..' Sapna says...
'Aur hot aur sizzling bhi.. Haina Nikki...' Muskaan said...
'Chup karo tum log.. Paagal hogayi ho kiya...
Yeh mat bhulo hum abhi bhi event pe ho... Tum log kahin pe bhi shuru hojate ho...' Armaan says...
'Dekho... Now he is acting like an owner of company...' Rahul says...

'So ladies and gettlemen, now its end of the event...
Before u all go, we would like u to join the dinner which would start after the end of this show..' Mr.Mathew says...
'Also I would like to call up on the stage, All the models to the last night along with Mr.Mallik, Owner of the Mallik Enterprise...' Ms.Khan said...

Everyone claps and soon the models started to come on the stage one by one...
Armaan went to the back stage to meet the models and soon he was standing with Riddhima...
'Riddhima yeh..' Armaan said as everyone else where standing in front of them as they would be last to go to the stage...
'Armaan hum isbaare main baad main baat karenge. ok...' Riddhima says two more people was ahead of them and soon they would be going on stage...

Armaan ask her to hold his arm before they go on stage... Happily Riddhima put hold his arm and both giving their best smile went on stage...
Everyone was clapping and Armaan took the mike from Mr.Mathew...
'Thank you everyone...
Thank you so much for coming.. I hope u all enjoy it and please before leave, have dinner...'

Soon everyone started to move back to the room to change and Armaan got hold of Riddhima... They were standing on the back stage as no one else were around to see...
'Kiya kar rahi ho Armaan... Chodo, Mujhe change karna hai..' Riddhima saying trying to get out of Armaan's hold.
'Nehi.. Pehle batao, tumne mujhe pehle kyun nehi batayi tum showstopper ki jhaga stage pe aane wali ho...'Armaan says holding Riddhima by waist and pulling her closed to him...
'Armaan...' Riddhima try but Armaan cut her...
'Riddhima please... Don't say we will talk about it later... Kyunki mujhe abhi jaanna hai...' Armaan says...
'Armaan, Main bhi pehle yeh sab karne wali nehi ti...
but jabse Sheena ne mana ki, tab se main soch rahi hoon kiya kar sakti hai main isbaat ke liye..
Aur mujhe laga yehi sahi hoga...Tumhare liyeh... Tumhari company ke liye aur Mere liye bhi...' Riddhima says...
'Itna pyar karti ho mujhse..' Armaan ask as he met his hands with hers...

Riddhima nodds her head seeing the never ending love in Armaan eyes to her... Armaan smile and move his face closed to her...
Riddhima closed her eyes feeling Armaan hot breath on her face...
Armaan pull her closed to him and her hands were on his chest... Riddhim's grip got tight feeling Armaan moving closed to her..
The proximity was taking place between them and both were lost in each other...

Armaan move closed and started to care her cheek with his nose tips... Riddhima felt shiver run down on her spine as the hot breathe were kissing her cheeks...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name knowing where they were and if anyone sees this, it wouldn't be good...
But Armaan was lost in her, her beauty from the moment his eyes laid on her wearing that wedding lehenga...
'Riddhima... U r looking so beautiful in this dress...' Armaan says moving his hand sensually around her waist which was bare and hide with dupatta...
'Armaan...' Riddhima again call his name knowing he was lost and she had to make him bring back...
'U look gorgeous...' Armaan says and kiss her forehead...

Armaan move away looking at Riddhima whose eyes were closed... She had move her one hand around his neck and was caring his back head to make him stop but she didn't know by doing it, she was making him go on with whatever he had been doing...
Armaan move his one hand on her face cupping her face and caring with his thumb... Shy smile form in Riddhima face as her cheek started to turn dark red...
There moment was disturb as Armaan mobile started to ring and both move away from each other...
I was came back to his sense and Riddhima run away before Armaan could get hold of her...

Armaan was standing with his back towards the door... So he didn't see Riddhima standing in front of the door...
'Hum bhi chale...' Riddhima says as Armaan was still looking at the girls who left...
Armaan turn around to see his Angel standing in front of him... Again he was lost, lost in her beauty...
Riddhima never fail to make him fall in love with her all over again everyday...
Also he keeps getting lost in her and her eternity beauty every second he laid his eyes on her... Knowing her present always affect him so much and he get lost in her, Riddhima smile coming outside and lock the door...
'Armaan... Chalna hai ya yaha rehne ki iraada hai...' Riddhima said holding his arm...
'Nehi... Chalo...' Armaan says controlling himself...

As they keep walking slowly, Armaan keep looking at Riddhima without moving his gaze away from her face...As Armaan didn't take the lift, Riddhima wonder where he was taking her...
'Hum jaa kaha rahi hai Armaan...' Atlast Riddhima asked...
Near a room two waiters were waiting and when they saw Armaan and Riddhima coming they move aside...
'All set Sir...' One of the waiter says as they reach them...
'Riddhima keys doh...' Armaan ask her and when she gave it Armaan ask one of them to keep it in reception...

'Awww... thank u sooo much Armaan..' Riddhima says hugging him...
Armaan also respond the hug and soon both were sitting having dinner feeding each other...

As they keep talking while having dinner, Armaan ask Riddhima why she didn't let him know she was ready to be the showstopper...
'Armaan...

Riddhima says and Armaan just keep admiring her...

After finishing dinner, they move near the window looking outside... Riddhima was enjoying the night as the window was open and winds were coming slowly inside the room...
'Its beautiful night... Haina Armaan...' Riddhima says... As she didn't get any respond from Armaan, she look at him...
Armaan was lost in her again, Riddhima felt nervous seeing this and move a step back... Armaan move closed to her and she keeps stepping back still her back hit the wall...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name but Armaan didn't stop and keep moving closed to her..
Riddhima put her hand on Armaan chest to keep the distance and Armaan put his hands on sides of the wall so she couldn't run away...

Riddhima look at Armaan eyes to see love and only love for her... Soon she was drown in to his blue eyes...
'Riddhima...' Armaan hold her one hand playing with her fingers...
Riddhima just keep quite letting him speak knowing he wants to say so much to her...
'Thank you...' Armaan says...
'Thanks kyun Armaan...' Riddhima says as Armaan eyes were still fixed on her...
'Riddhima, tum jaante ho main thanks kyun bol rahi ho...
Kal raat tumne jo bhi mere liyeh kiya, koi aur hota toh nehi karti...' Armaan says and look at her..
'Common Armaan...
U know I love u right... Maine sirf tumhare liyeh nehi kiya... Hum dono ke liyeh kiya...' Riddhima says looking in to his eyes...
'I know Riddhima...
Lekin jab maine tumhe woh lehenga pehente huve dekha, toh ek minute ke liye mujhe laga main sapna dekh raha hoon...
Maine tumhe pehle bhi bataya main chaahta hoon tum woh lehenga pehne... Aur ek dulhan ki tarah tayyar rahe... mere liye...
Tumne meri wohi sapna pura kiya Riddhima... I love u..' Armaan says and move closed to her...

Riddhima forgot to breath when Armaan slowly kiss her and soon she gave in to the kiss...
It was a slow and promising one to love each other like this forever... But soon it started to turn passionate as they keeep kissing...
They broke the kiss as they were lack of air... Riddhima hide her face in his chest while Armaan hide his face on her hair... Soon Riddhima felt Armaan softly kissing her neck and neckline coming down to the shoulder...
Riddhima felt shy and push him and move away from him...
As Armaan was lost in her, he didn't know when happen but his grip was loose so Riddhima run out from his hold...

Riddhima stand there in the middle of the room with her back towards him... Armaan move closed to her and pull away her hair to one side of her shoulder...
Her back was visible and Armaan run down his fingers on her bare back... Riddhima eyes got closed feeling Armaan's cold fingers caring her bare back... She felt Armaan moving closed to her as his hot breath was kissing her neck...
Riddhima's heartbeat and breath got fast as she was feeling the proximity taking over inside her body... Armaan smile seeing how much his closeness affect Riddhima..
He took something from his pocket and soon make her wear it from his hands...

It was a beautiful silver necklace which was simple with two heart joins with little diamonds around it...
Feeling Armaan wear something around her neck, Riddhima open her eyes and was surprise to see the necklace...
Riddhima touch her hand on it and whisper 'beautiful...'
'Not more then My Riddhima...' Armaan Whisper on her ear and kiss on her earlobe...
Riddhima blush becox of Armaan this act and try to move but Armaan held her saari pallu...

Song start on the background as both got lost in each other eyes...

~ TUM HI HO FROM AASHIQUI 2 ~

Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte
Tere bina kya wajoodh mera
( Armaan was holding Riddhima's pallu and Riddhima hold put her hand on chest holding in front of her saari...Her face was red due to shyness...)

Hum tere bin ab reh nahi sakte
Tere bina kya wajoodh mera
Tujhse juda agar ho jaayenge
Toh khud se hi ho jaayenge juda
Kyunki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
(Riddhima was standing with her back to Armaan... Armaan move closed to her leaving her pallu and stand in front of her...)

Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chayn bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui, ab tum hi ho
(Armaan cup Riddhima face in his palm... Riddhima closed her eyes as she was feeling shy... Armaan smile seeing Riddhima red face...)

Tera mera rishta hai kaisa
Ik pal door gawara nahi
(Armaan drop a quick kiss on Riddhima forehead and saw Riddhima smiling... Holding her by her waist, Armaan pull her closed to him then started to move to the beat...)

Tere liye har roz hai jeete
Tujhko diya mera waqt sabhi
Koi lamha mera na ho tere bina
Har saans pe naam tera
(Riddhima open her eyes feeling Armaan moving with her holding in his arm...
She look at Armaan meeting her eyes with his both was lost in each other... Riddhima put her hand around his neck...)

Kyunki tum hi ho ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chayn bhi mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho
( Armaan turn Riddhima in his hold so her back was touching him and he put his hand around her waist holding her hands...
Riddhima rest her head on Armaan shoulder closing her eyes enjoying this moment with him... Armaan kiss her earlobe hiding his face on her hair... )

Tum hi ho.. tum hi ho..

Tere liye hi jiya main
Khud ko jo yun de diya hai
Tere wafaa ne mujhko sambhala
Saare ghamo ko dil se nikala
Tere saath mera hai naseeb judha
Tujhe paake adhoora na raha
(Again Armaan turn her around so she was facing him with her both hand on his chest...
Armaan hold her one hand as his other hand was around her waist... Their face were inch away and their nose touch and smile was adoring on their face...)

Kyunki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chayn bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui, ab tum hi ho
Kyunki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chayn bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui, ab tum hi ho
(Armaan move closed kissing her softly and passionately... He put his one hand on her neck caring making her go weak from her knee... Riddhima also was equally responding to Armaan every touch...)

Both were lost in each other, they didn't knew how the time flies away... They was enjoying their company and soon it was time to go back to their rooms...
They know as soon as they go back, their parents will talk to Pandit and fixed a date... As pandit him self was busy so he couldn't make it before they go to Paris... So they had fixed a date to meet Pandit after only they go back...

PART 27...

Riddhima was laying on the bed thinking about how Armaan make her night special... It was the best trip she had every had... She just couldn't stop thinking and smiling herself...
By the time she came back it was 12am... Luckily both was sleeping but Sapna open the door as Riddhima keep knocking till one of them open...
As Sapna was really sleepy too, she didn't dare to ask Riddhima how was dinner with Armaan and wht took them so long as they had come back long before and was done with packing too...

Before hitting the bed, Riddhima complete her packing and changed to her comfortable night dress...
Now Riddhima was laying on bed thinking about the night and her Armaan... Smiling to her self, she felt that sleep were away from her eyes tonight...
She was holding the necklace Armaan gave her, caring it lovingly as it was a precious gift... She drop a kiss on it... Soon her mind travel somewhere else...
Riddhima was busy thinking about the kiss and close moments they share, she got a msg... Riddhima look to see it was from none other then her Armaan...
'Neend nehi aa rahi... ???
Mere baare main soch rahi ho..??? -Love Armaan-

Blush crap on Riddhima cheeks and Riddhima thought not to reply... Then thought, she is not sleepy toh why to let him sleep even..
Riddhima write reply for him and send it waiting for Armaan reply...

~ IN ARMAAN ROOM ~

To his bad luck Rahul was awake when he came back... He started to ask about the dinner and all, Armaan told him everything went well and he don't need to give him details that happen...
'Tik hai saale.. Tu aaj mujhe chup kara sakte ho...
Lekin kal woh ladkiyon tujhe chodenge nehi bata deti hoon' Rahul said and went to sleep...

Armaan smile knowing Rahul was saying right and thought why to think about it know... What he had to answer the girls, then he would... Becox they haven't done anything secretly...
Changing to comfortable night dress Armaan try to sleep but sleeps were away from his eyes..
He keeps remembering every moment he spend with his Riddhima a while ago... As she was looking like a angel which come from heaven just for him, he couldn't express how pretty she was looking in that saari...
The first time he laid his eye on that saari that day while they were shopping, Armaan thought it would be the best gift he could give to Riddhima for doing so much hard work for the fashion show to make it a bigg and huge success...
Just becox of her, they had reach to the high today and Armaan was really really proud to have her in his company and speically in his heart...
'oh god... Yeh tumne kiya kardiya Riddhima...
Ab main kaise soun... Mujhe har waqt tumhari paas rehne ka mann karta hai...
Tumhe dekhne ka... Tumhe apni baahon main lene ka..' Armaan keep thinking...

He took the mobile and thought of msging to check if she slept or not...
He was thinking to send or not and at last he send... He wait for five minutes and when she didn't reply, he thought she miight have slept... He knows she must be tired becox of the busy day they had...
'Tum kaise so sakti ho itni jaldi Riddhima..' Armaan think and closed his eyes just to feel his phone vibrate...

Armaan took the phone and saw Riddhima msg... He smile and open the msg which Riddhima gave to Armaan msg...
'Nehi toh.. Main kyun tumhare baare main sochungi.
Mujhe apni neend bohot pyaari hai...' -Love Riddhima-
Armaan smile reading her reply and send another msg...

'Accha... toh yeh koan mujhe msg kar raha hai..
Tumhari bhoot...' -Armaan-
Armaan waits for Riddhima reply which didn't take much time...
'Main bhoot nehi hoon...
Main bas sone wali hoon... Aur bhoot bhi hai toh kiya huva.. Mujhse baat nhi karni kiya...' -Riddhima-
'Toh seedhe seedhe bolo na tumhe bhi mujhse baat karni hai...' -Armaan-

-Beep-
Armaan recived another msg from Riddhima...
'Nehi... Main bohot tak gayi hoon Issiliye main so rahi hoon...
Mujhe disturb mat karna...
Goodnight...' -Riddhima-

Armaan smile reading this msg...
'Waise mujhe toh baat karna ta..
Actually kuch batana chahta ta.. But tumhe neend aa rahi hai toh koi baat nhi..
Goodnight...' -Armaan-

Armaan knowing this time also Riddhima would reply soon..
'Kiya baat karna hai iswaqt...
Time dekha... Sharam nehi aati kissi ki beti koh is waqt msg karte...

Armaan smile seeing how filmy she could be...
'Nehi nehi Princess...
Mera ma aur behen bhi hai... Aur main jis ladki koh msg kar raha hoon woh bhi jaldi mere hone wale hai...
Toh us main buri baat kiya hai mujhe samjhao na pleasee...' -Armaan-
'Hmm phir toh kuch buri baat nehi hai...
Phir batadoh kiya batana hai...' -Riddhima-
'Yehi ki tum aaj raat bohot khubsurat lag rahi ti...' -Armaan-
'Bohot logo ne yeh mujhe bataya...' -Riddhima-
'Aur bohot hot bhi...' -Armaan-
'Kissine yeh bhi batayi mujhe...' -Riddhima-
'Wht??? Kisne?? kab ..?? kaha??? kyunnn???' -Armaan-
'hehehe... Chill Armaan koi ajnabee ne nehi...
Tumhare behen aur meri behen ne... Aur Sapna aur Muski ne bhi kaha *Wink!!**' -Riddhima-
'Oh accha...
Phir toh tik hai.. Lekin ladke ne aise bola toh main use chodunga nehi...' -Armaan-
'Kyun... Baaki ladko kon mujhe tarif karna mana hai...' -Riddhima-
'Tarif karna toh kiya, tujhe dekhna bhi mana hai.. Kyunki sirf main tujhe aise nazar se dekh sakta hoon Kissi aur koh hakk nehi hai...' -Armaan...
'Paagal...' -Riddhima-
'Woh toh madam aapki pyar main hoon...' -Armaan-
'Stop copying cheezi lines Armaan...
Khud ki koi dialogue toh bolte...' -Riddhima-
-Maine bola toh galat... Jab tu copy line maar rahi ti tab tik ta...' -Armaan-
'Maine kab copy ki...' -Riddhima...
Like this these both keep bickering still late and as they had to wake up early, they slept hoping to meet in each other dreams...

~ BACK IN HOME TOWN ~

Shashank and Padma were standing outside the airport to received Malliks and Riddhima with the gang... Also they invite everyone to dinner as they had to annouce something important...
Everyone leave to their respective house while Riddhima went with Shashank and Padma.. Before that they drop Muskaan and Sapna at their house...
Armaan was happy he got the chance to seat with Riddhima before coming back... Knowing their daily routine will be started from the very next day, still Armaan felt he wasn't getting enough time with Riddhima...

~ GUPTA MANSION ~

As they enter the house, Riddhima through her purse somewhere in the hall on couch before hitting the couch carelessly leaving the bags she bought...
Padma went to bring water to Riddhima and Shashank who was in a call busy discussing something...
'Everything is set Padma... Just be ready by 8 tonight...' Shashank said...
'Ji Shashank..' Padma says...

Riddhima who didn't had a clue what was happening, sit straight asking Padma from eyes what was going on...
'Beti, tum fresh hoke araam karlo.. Aur haan, jhaake phone karke Armaan se der se baat mat karne beitna... Kyunki tumhe mujhse dinner ke liye help karna hai okk...' Padma says as Shashank left to fresh up as he also went airport to received them after just finishing his duty in hospital...
'Kiyun... Main kyun...

'Mom...' Riddhima try to make her agree but Padma didn't...
'No buts... Maine kaha na u will... bas u r gonna cook...' Padma says and leave...

Riddhima who was surprise as Padma never force her to do anything around the house...
'Yeh mamma koh kiya hogaya hai... Papa se baat karna padega...' Riddhima thought and seeing Padma going to kitchen she run towards Shashank room who was again on phone...
Riddhima wait till Shashank finish the call and seeing his dad end the call,'Papa, mujhe aapse kuch baat karni hai..' Riddhima says...
Shashank who didn't know Riddhima was there was shocked and he turn as if he was catch red handed doing a crime...
'Princess... aapne toh mujhe dara hi diya...
Haan poocho kiya poochna hai...' Shashank ask facing her folding his arms on chest...
'Woh mamma koh kiya hogaya hai...

Shashank smiles hearing Riddhima complain and cute pout she was making...
'Toh galat kiya kaha hai aapki mamma ne...

'Kiya haas hone wala hai mujhe bhi batao.. Phir main accha accha khana banake khilaungi sabko..' Riddhima says folding her hands and sitting on the bed...
Seeing her act, Shashank smile and move towards her sitting next to her...
'beti.. woh toh aapko raat koh pata chalega...
Toh abhi jao, fresh hokhe rest karo.. Tohdi der sojao, phir utke yummy yummy khana banao...' Shashank says...
'Papa...' Riddhima try to make puppy face and make him tell her what was they hiding...
'Sorry beti... Aaj woh puppy face kaam karne wale nehi hai..
So better u go and rest now before u go and help ur mamma...' Shashank said and taking towel from bed where Padma left it for him, he went to take shower...

Knowing neither her dad and mom would tell her anything, she went to her room and freshen up...
Then hit bed as she was feeling sleepy and all the thanks goes to Armaan who was chatting with her whole night through msgs...
Thinking about the previous night, Riddhima slept hoping to meet Armaan in her dream and reality too...

~ 8PM ~

As Padma requested, Riddhima make dinner for everyone... As she got the chance to make dinner for Armaan and his family for the first time, Riddhima call Armaan asking wht others would like as she already knows Armaan favorite but not others...
Armaan was happy to know Riddhima was making dinner, and he tell her everything others like to have for dinner and also ask to add more to his list...
Riddhima smile feeling how excited Armaan was sounding as it was the first time she would be making dinner for him and others too...

Riddhima push Padma out from the kitchen saying as she was to make dinner for everyone, she didn't want Padma to help her any way...
So asking her to see other arrangement before Armaan and his family come, Riddhima push her out strickly asking not to put her feet on the kitchen before she comes out...

Knowing Riddhima was good in cooking, Padma left smiling to her self the one who was not ready to cook 3 hrs before suddenly agree... Padma came to room and Shashank who saw Padma smiling thinking about something ask wht is the reason behind that smile...
'Shashank, woh Riddhima..
Pata nehi use achanak se kiya huva hai... Pehle toh mujhe bola main sab kuch sambhalo, Ab mujhe kitchen se bahar kardi yeh kehke woh sab kuch akele karenge...' Padma says...
Shashank smiling knowing the reason behind Riddhima's change of behavior...
'Aab muskura kyu rahe ho...' Padma ask seeing Shashank smiling...
'Woh aayi ti mere paas... Yeh jaanne ke liyeh kiya baat hai woh jo specially use khana banvane ke liyeh tum uske peeche padi ho...' Shashank says...
'Aur aapne use bata diya... Shashank, Aap bhi na...
I m sure usne woh puppy innocent face banaya aapke saamne aur aap toh apne princess se itna pyar karte hai ki hide bhi nehi kar sakte...
Lekin mujhe use surprise dena ta na Shashank...Aapne batadiya use...' Padma says complaining as she thought Shashank ruin her surprise...
'Padma, padma, padma...' Shashank says coming closed to her and holding her shoulder trying to calm her down... Knows Shashank knows why Riddhima act like that.. She was just a perfect copy of his dearest wife...
Padma look at Shashank with fake anger and upset expression...
'Maine Riddhima koh reason nehi bataya...
Tumhe kiya lagta hai main nehi chaahte woh best smile dekhne jab hum use woh baat bataye... Nehi Padma...
Humne already Riddhima koh aise situation main dekha woh bohot kam muskuraate hai dil se... Lekin yeh baat sunne mujhe pata woh kitni khush hoga...' Shashank says...

Padma look Shashank knowing he was right...
'Haan Shashank...

Jaise humhare liye Riddhima hai, waise Nikki bhi humhare beti hai...
Aur hum dono jaante hai Ananya aur Billy ke liyeh bhi Riddhima Nikki ki tarah unlogo ke beti hi bane rahenge waha jaakhe... Aur un log Riddhima se bohot pyar karte hai woh waha jaakhe bhi humhe miss nehi karenge... Haina...' Padma says...
'Haan Padma..
Lekin mujhe abhi tak yakeen nehi ho raha hai humhare princess itni badi hogayi ab hum uski shaadi ki baat kar rahi hai...' Shashank says...
'Mujhe pata hai Shashank, aap kabhi Riddhima koh apne aankhon ke saamne se dur nehi jaane de sakte hai...
Lekin yeh toh ho na hita ek din... Use apne ghar, apni pati ki ghar ek na ek din toh jaana hi hota hai...
Aur hum khush hona chahiyeh Ananya aur Billy humhare acche dost hai, aur Riddhima toh kabhi bhi humhe milne aa sakte hai... Aur hum bhi use milne ja sakte hai...' Padma says...

Padma and Shashank keep talking like this about Riddhima's future and they were disturb by doorbell... Knowing Riddhima was still busy in kitchen, Padma went to answer the door but before she could reach Riddhima run to the door...
It was Atul, Anjali, Muskaan and Sapna who came... Riddhima welcome hugging them and as she was done making dinner she run upstairs to get ready before the Malliks come...
Before she goes, she warn everyone not to go to kitchen and look over the dishes she make...
She had set the table and put dishes bowl so she could servve it when everyone comes to the dinner...

~ MALLIK MANSION ~

Armaan was walking around the hall waiting for his mom, dad and Nikki to come out... But they were taking so much time and Armaan had been ready from past hr...

'Mom aur niks itna time kyun laga rahi hai yaar..' Armaan says...
'Arey ladkiya hai, der toh lagega tayyar hone main... Woh hum ladke jaise nehi hai...' Billy says...
Just then Atul call asking where they were and others had already reach... Saying they r just coming in 10mins Armaan cut the call...
'Mom.. Niks... Aap dono koh jaana hai ya bhi nehi...
Atul ka call aaya... Sab log waha pochgaya aur hum log abhi tak ghar pe hai... Jaldi karo nehi toh main akele chala jaunga...' Armaan shouted...

After all bhabs koh dekhna hai na.. Miss kar raha hai...' Nikki said...
'Shut up Niks... Chalo... Atul ne already call kiya yeh poochne ke liye hum kaha tak pocha hai..' Armaan says making his way out...

Soon Malliks reach Gupta Mansion and ring the bell...
Padma open the door welcoming to them and soon all were sitting in the hall...
Armaan look here and there to see where Riddhima was as she wasn't there with the gang...
Leaving the youngers to be in the hall, Shashank as Billy and Ananya to come studies room as he had something important to discuss with them...

Everyone settle in hall as the got alone and Rahul was the one who was missing other then Riddhima...
'Rahul nehi aaya...' Armaan ask not knowing how to ask where Riddhima was...

'mujhe poochna hota toh main pooch lunga Niks.. tu chup raho... aaj kal bohot bolne lage ho...' Armaan says...

But in his heart, he was wondering where Riddhima was and why she was taking so much time...

Atul phone rang and it was from Rahul... He says he wouldn't be able to come as he got a emergency in hospital...
'Waise Anjy,
Shashank uncle ne hum sabko yaha kyun bhulaya...' Sapna ask...
'I don't have anyy idea Sapna... Ridzy koh pata hoga...' Anjali says...
'Lekin Ridzy hai kaha...' Nikki ask..
'Woh tayyar ho rahi hai... Aata hi hoga...' Muskaan said...

They started to question Armaan about the party that he was going to through and Armaan says he needs to talk dad about it... They haven't decide as today they return from Paris...
'Yeh lo... Aagayi Ridzy...' Atul says who was sitting facing the stairs... Everyone look at Riddhima and was memorized with her beauty... She was wearing a pink simple salwar with matching earrings and bangles... Around her neck it was the necklace Armaan gave...

~ ARMAAN POV ~

'Yeh lo... Aagayi Ridzy...' When Atul says I just turn around as my back was towards the stairs...
I saw Riddhima coming down wearing a beautiful simple pink salwar dress... She was looking like an Angel in this simple dress even...
She hasn't put any make up other then kaajal on her eyes and pink lip gloss on her rosy lips... Her eyes were shinning showing the happiness and little naughtiness..

She came down n hugs everyone leaving me... I pouted when I saw her sitting in between Sapna and Muskaan...
She look at me and wink with the naughty smile playing on her lips...
I couldn't help but the pout turn in to a smile seeing her cute action...
