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

PART 38...

'So kab baat kare humhare Parents se...' Armaan asked holding her both hand and putting it closed to his heart...
'Aaj' Riddhima said...
'Wht... AAJ???' Armaan was shocked to hear this...
'Haan kyun... Bohot jaldi se haan kaha maine Shaadi ke liyeh...' Riddhima asked...
'Haan...' Armaan said as he was in shocked...
'What...' Riddhima said pulling her hands out from his hand...

Armaan first was confused why Riddhima was suddenly acting like that and then he think wht he said just few minutes ago...
'Arey nehi nehi Riddhima...
mera matlab woh nehi hai... I mean aaj kaise...
Hum kal baat karte haina sabse...' Armaan said holding her by waist and pulling her closed...
'Aaj kyun nehi Armaan...
Aaj baat nehi ki toh phir bhuljaana mujhe...
Main nehi karungi shaadi tumse...' Riddhima said making a fake angry face turning her face sideway...

Armaan smile hearing Riddhima and thought to tease her...
'Accha... Hmmm phir toh mujhe kissi aur koh dhundna padega...
Waise bhi bohot girls marte hai mujhpe... Aur har koi ladki mere wife banneki khuwab dekhte hai...' Armaan said and as he expected Riddhima look at him and next second she got hold of his collar...
'Sochna bhi mat... Tum mere ho...
Aur koi aur ladki ki baare main sochna bhi mat... Tum sirf mujhse shaadi karenge...
Nehi toh main tujhe khud apni haatohse maardaalungi taaki koi tumse shaadi na karpae... Tum sirf mere ho Armaan... Sirf mere...' Riddhima said...
Armaan smile hearing how much Riddhima loves him... He was on cloud nine to know how possessive Riddhima was with him...
'Ab aise smile kyun kar rahe ho...' Riddhima said still holding his collar in her fist...

Armaan, whose mind was busy recollecting the words Riddhima said a few minutes ago, took his hand up to her cheek...
He was lost in this thought as he was holding her in his arm securily...
Armaan care Riddhima face softly as he miss her so much... From the last few days, he has missed touching her, feeling her and the fragrance of her...
He feels, again he was living this moment as he first mean her 2years before that rainy night...
That night which make his life change, which he never felt before for any girl... He felt he was the luckiest person in the whole word to have an Angel like Riddhima...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name knowing he was lost in her... She don't want to get lost in him knowing others were outside and anyone could come inside banging the door down...
But Armaan sense were not anywhere near to hear Riddhima voice... He was in his own dream land which was more beautiful...

Armaan touch his finger on her lips seeing it moving but he didn't hear what she was saying...
He look at her rosy lips and then back to her big beautiful eyes which always make his heart skip a beat...
Armaan move his finger on her pinkish cheeks feeling her soft skin... He look at her to see her eyes closed as he care her cheek very softly as he was scared he might hurt her...
Riddhima grip loose over his collar as she feel Armaan caring her cheek which burn turning it color...
Riddhima breath were getting uncontrollable as the passion were taking in between them... Her heart started to beat a little faster then it usually used to beat...
Riddhima understand how Armaan must be feeling at the moment... Yes, even she had miss his touch from weeks...

Before he leave, they didn't get a single time to bid bye as it was an argent for Armaan...
It was due to work so Armaan couldn't have posepone it... Riddhima closed her eyes when she feel Armaan caring her cheek ever so softly as if he might hurt her...
Smile form in her lips feeling what Armaan was trying to say through his touch and Riddhima slowly open her eyes when she feel Armaan thumb caring her lower lip...
Riddhima look at Armaan eyes to see only love and more love in it for her... A small smile was on his face and Riddhima knows it wasn't naughty one as his expression was super cute and dreamy...
Riddhima saw Armaan looking back in her eyes and for a second his eyes move down to her lips...
A shy smile form in Riddhima lips knowing what he wants at the moment and she herself didn't feel to stop him...
Slowly both were moving closed to each other closing the distance between their lips and as they felt each other breath, they closed their eyes to feel and enjoy the moment...

Only they didn't know Nikki and Anjali were coming to break the bubble of their romantic moment...
'Stoppp!!!!!!!' Both Armaan and Riddhima jerk back leaving each other to see Nikki and Anjali standing near the door with their eyes hide...
'What...' Riddhima asked getting irritated and thanking them in her heart for their perfect timing...
'Aagayi kabab main haddi...' Armaan said under his breath so only Riddhima could hear what he said and Riddhima smile hearing his irritate comment...
'Ufff... Sacchi main Niks... I m telling u, yeh dono koh permanently ek dusre ke saat bhaan dena chahiyeh...
Jab dekho chance maarti rehte hai...' Anjali said moving inside standing in between Armaan and Riddhima...
'Common Anjy... We r offically engage yaar... Itna toh karne ka license hai...' Armaan said to which Riddhima smach his arm pulling Anjali aside...
'Ouch.. Maar kyun rahe ho Riddhima...' Armaan asked caring his arm...
'Aise besharam wale baat karenge toh maarenge na...' Riddhima said...
'Waise bhabs, galati sirf bhai ki nehi hai...' Nikki said putting her hand on Armaan shoulder as she was standing next to him...
'Dekho...' Armaan said...
'Kiya dekhna hai Armaan... Ofcourse Armaan ki hai...
Na woh mujhe gussa dilate... Na mujhe mana na padta...
na woh mere close aate na tum dono hum log koh aise dekhte...' Riddhima said...
'Oh... Means Bhai aapko manane ki koshish kar raha ta... How cute...
Waise gussa kis baat ki...' Nikki asked...
'Haan haan, humhe bhi batao...' Anjali said...
'Woh kissi koh shaadi karni ti...' Armaan said to tease Riddhima and Riddhima eyes pop out hearing Armaan...
She was expecting him to say it in front of them, not at least now before they speaking about the matter with their parents...
'Ridzy tum...' Anjali started but Armaan cut her...
'haan... Isko shaadi karne ki jaldi hai...
main kaha hum baat karenge lekin u wouldn't believe Anjy, Riddhima koh aaj baat karni hai humhare parents se...' Armaan said...
'Armaan, now u r so dead mahnn...' saying this Riddhima took a pillow from her bed and move to hit Armaan...

Seeing what Riddhima was going to do, Armaan run out from the room to save his life... Nikki and Anjali smile to see how their two lovers were back to their normal self... that too really soon...
Riddhima was shouting and running behind Armaan as Armaan run down from the stairs... He didn't see anyone in the hall and guess everyone must be in the dinning area...
'yaar Riddhima, maine kiya galat kaha...
Jo tumne kaha wohi bataya na niks aur anjy koh...' Armaan said as he was standing behind the couch...
'So what Armaan... Woh baat hum dono ki beech huva ta...
How could u say it to them when u wasn't agreeing for it...' Riddhima said as she throw the pillow which miss Armaan...

Armaan move towards the dinning area to see everyone sitting having lunch... Padma and Ananya were standing to serve them...
Seeing Armaan coming towards them, everyone was shocked to see what happen...
'Kiya huva Armaan beta... Tum aise kisse bhag rahe ho...' Padma asked seeing him hiding behind her...
He didn't need to answer him as Riddhima came with an angry face...
'Princess yeh aap kiya kar rahe ho...' Shashank asked seeing her princess...
'Uncle please Riddhima koh bolo na shaant hojae...' Armaan said moving towards Ananya and hiding behind her...
Riddhima move closed to them trying to get hold of Armaan...
'Aaj tumhe mujhse koi nehi bacha sakte Armaan... How could u...' Riddhima said still not stopping...
Atul, Rahul, Sapna and Muskaan were enjoying this cat and mouse fight of ArmaanRiddhima...
Where as Shashank,Billy, Padma and Ananya were shocked to see what was happening... Few minutes ago, Riddhima was looking sad and low but what has change now...

Riddhima stop when Anjali said, 'Main batati hoon Dad...'
'Di... Please yaar...

'Bhabs... Aise kaise aap chali jaenge...
Baaki sabko bhi pata chale aapne kiya socha hai...' Nikki said...
'Kiya baat hai Nikki beti... Riddhima beti ne kiya socha hai... Aur kis baare main...' it was Ananya who speak this time...
'Aunty, Ridzy ne bohot important baat ki hai Armaan se...
Lekin Armaan ne as usual Ridzy koh gussa dilaya uski stupid baatohse..' Anjali said...
'Lekin kiya baat hai...' Padma asked...

'Yaar Riddhima, yehi toh tum chaahti ti... Hum hum dono ki parents se yeh baat bataye...' Armaan said...
'Haan but aise nehi na...' Riddhima said as she was turning red now...
'arey kiya baat karni hai tum dono koh hum bado se Armaan...' Billy asked as they were taking so much time to relieve what they were talking and fighting about...
'Haan batao na Armaan... Mere bhai...' Atul said moving closed to Armaan...
'Hum bhi toh sune tum dono kiya baat koh lekar ek dusre ki life ke peeche pade ho...' Rahul said...
'batadun...' Armaan asked looking at Riddhima who gave a angry glare to him...
Anjali and Nikki laugh seeing Riddhima expression and Armaan giving his naughty grin...
'Arey bhai... Ab koi toh batao yaar...' Shashank said...

Anjali and Nikki asked Armaan to continue as Armaan wink at Riddhima who was giving him angry glare...
Riddhima smile seeing Armaan winking at her and try to hide her smile which didn't go un notice by others... Seeing Nikki and Anjali loose their grip, Riddhima took the advantage and run away from there...
Armaan smile to see this and he knows now they wouldn't stop asking him what was the matter...
'Ridzy...'Anjali call her but she run up to her room...
Anjali and Nikki brush out laughing...
'Armaan ab toh batao kiya huva...' Billy asked again...

Youngers were hugging Armaan and congratulation him...
Girls were leaving to get hold of Riddhima but Padma and Ananya stop them...

'Yeh Armaan bhi na... Paagal hai...

'Bas bas Nikki... Abhi chalo...' Ananya said pulling Nikki out with her...
Everyone one by one leave the room and it was Armaan and Riddhima left...

When everyone was out of sight, Armaan look at Riddhima who was smiling with her whole heart...
Armaan smile seeing her smile back on her face...
'Khush hona...' Armaan asked as she was busy looking at the door...
She turn around and she was shocked to see Armaan still there... She didn't know he was still there...
'Tum... Ghar nehi jaana...' Riddhima asked...
Armaan move closed to her to which Riddhima keep moving backwards... They keep moving still Riddhima hit her back on the door of the room and Armaan put his hands on either side of the door blocking her way...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name knowing she didn't have any way to escape...
'Aise kaise chala jaata main...
humhare baat toh adhuri rehgaya ta na...' Armaan said...

Riddhima feel her heart stop feeling Armaan hot breath on her face...
She look at his eyes to see only one desire... Even she was waiting for it... So she didn't dare to stop him this time...
Armaan move leaning his lips on hers and Riddhima respond eqaully to the kiss...
Riddhima hands were on Armaan shirt where as Armaan hands move down to her hips as he push his body on hers...
Riddhima felt her heart skip a beat when she felt his well built body pressing on hers...
Soon both were so much in to the kiss it turn to a passion one... Riddhima hands move to his hair caring it making his desire get hold on fire...
Armaan leave Riddhima lips as they were out of breath, and move his face on her neck placing kisses on her neck... Riddhima was so lost, she didn't know what was happening for a while...
She also started to place kisses on his bare chest and soon she unbutton his shirt feeling bare body...
Armaan hands move under Riddhima top which she was wearing and feeling Armaan hands back Riddhima came back to her sense...
'Armaan...' She call his name to bring him back to his sense...
Feeling Riddhima push him little away, Armaan move out understanding they were about to cross the limit... He drop a kiss on Riddhima forehead before moving out looking at her face...
Riddhima smile seeing how much Armaan understand what she wants to say before she saying it...
'I love u...' Armaan said as he cupped her cheek with one hand...
'Love u too...' Riddhima said to which Armaan shows his million dollar smile which was vanished from his face days before...
'Ab jao...' Riddhima said feeling shy as Armaan keep continuously staring at her...

Riddhima push Armaan out from her room and closed the door as she knows she had turn red... She rest her back on the door closing her eyes... She felt bless, bless to be back in home...
She was happy, happy to be with her love one's and specially with her Armaan... Yes Her Armaan...
On the other side, Armaan smile when he saw the shy side of Riddhima... His Riddhima... He smile thanking god in his heart for giving him back HIS RIDDHIMA...

PART 39...

Riddhima coming back to home safely was all over in every news channel and newspaper...
Gupta's and Mallik's were happy they go Riddhima back safe and sound... They didn't need anything else other then to get back their princess safely...
Media were running behind Armaan and Riddhima for another week and it was always Armaan who answer every question of them... He and others were more protective about Riddhima now...
And Riddhima, wasn't liking this much but she understand what might Armaan and others have gone through so keep quite...

2weeks past and everyone were back to their routine which they had been following from years...
Works were going hectic for everyone and all were enjoying as well as making time to spend with each other...
Armaan and Riddhima were working and romancing as well they get time in office and Armaan always find an excuse to take her out for dinner saying it was related to work...
Also Armaan take Riddhima sometimes to Mallik Mansion as knowing no one would dare to disturb them specially when Riddhima is with him...
Nikki was the one who dare to disturb just to tease the love bird...

Today also, Armaan had taken Riddhima to Mallik Mansion... For a change, indeed this time they really had an important work to discuss and finalized as Armaan had been out whole day, so he couldn't finished this in office hour...
Ananya and Billy were in downstairs as they came and Armaan talk to Billy for sometimes as Riddhima was having a nice motherdaughter talk with Ananya...
Ananya serve them coffee and said she will send them dinner to the room to which Riddhima disagree saying she will prefer to have with everyone down in the dinning area...
Armaan went to fresh up before Riddhima comes after finish her coffee and chat with his mother...

~ ARMAAN ROOM ~

Armaan was standing with his back towards the door as he was busy drying his hair which was around his neck...
He was thinking about Riddhima and his parents, how they had been so comfortable with each other... He was happy that Riddhima was a girl he always dream of...
Yes, Armaan Mallik also had a dream girl in his mind which was send by god in his life as RIDDHIMA...
It was strange for others to know the workholic person like Armaan has a dream girl who can't see or get time to think about anything else other then work...
But, how could a guy can resist when someone like Riddhima come in front of him... It was as god had send him an ANGEL...
Armaan was busy thinking about his Angel when he heard someone open the door...

- RIDDHIMA POV -

After talking to Ananya Aunty, I make my way to Armaan room knowing he must be waiting for me to discuss about the work...
Little pinkish color adore my cheeks as Ananya Aunty said her parents were coming to dinner with Anjali and Atul as PanditJi was coming to fix our wedding date...
Also Muskaan, Sapna and Rahul will be joining with us... Ananya ask to go and finished the rest of the work so when the PanditJi come we could join them...

I enter Armaan's room without knocking and stop when I saw him standing in front of my eyes with bare body... He was wearing a black jeans as water drops were making its way down from his hair to neck and bare shoulders...
He turn around when I open the door and look at me smiling showing his dimple...
I didn't know whether to smile or not... My eyes were just checking his sexy and hot bare body...
I just couldn't move my eyes from him...

- RIDDHIMA POV END -

- ARMAAN POV -

I turn around to see Riddhima standing near the door with drooling over me like other girls as if she had seen me for the first time...
I smile hoping she wasn't checking me but to my surprise, she was really checking me as I was shirtless...
Her expression and her eyes which were fixed on my body shown she was enjoying the checking session...

Naughty grin form in my lips as I got another reason to tease her... Her cheeks were already little pinkish and I so love it when it turn to red...
Knowing she wouldn't dare to move, I keep moving closed to her... Still she didn't and it conform that she was really lost in me or it would be better to say on my body...

- ARMAAN POV END -

Armaan move closed to Riddhima as he took out the towel out from his neck... Some waters where coming down from his body and Riddhima just couldn't move her eyes from him...
Armaan was now standing so closed which makes Riddhima move a step or two back... Armaan closed the door behind before she could go out from the room... Riddhima's back hit on the door which was closed and now she was looking at his eyes...
Their eyes met and soon both were lost in their land... Riddhima didn't know how to react but a gap sound except from her mouth feeling how closed Armaan was standing...
Armaan put his hands on her hips as he push his body on to her... Riddhima hold his arms as the closeness were getting affect on her badly making her weak from her knees...

Armaan was enjoying this and soon move his face closed to hers... He was examing her every features closely...
Riddhima eyes were now fixed on Armaan blue orbs as she was now under his charm...
She feels Armaan hot breath on her face as she held him by arms as she feels her knees were giviing up by the closeness...
She saw Armaan moving his face closed to her and her eyes got closed automatically feeling his nose tip caring her cheek which was pink already, but soon red when she felt Armaan caring it softly and sensually...

Armaan softly kiss her cheeks and then her forehead... He move little to see her still standing with her eyes closed and she was breathing fast...
Armaan smile little to know how much affect he has on her and move close again placing his manly lips on her shivering rosy lips which was apart... As he started to kiss, for her moment she didn't respond him...
Armaan understand she wasn't on her sense for softly bit her lower lips, to which Riddhima open her eyes to see Armaan smiling through the kiss as his eyes were closed...
Small smile form on her lips as she also started to kiss him back responding him equally passion...

Today Riddhima was wearing a pink top and slim fit jeans for a change... She usually don't but as now a days she had to run here and there in the office, she feels it would be comfortable to wear it...
Armaan move his hands under her top caring her waust to which shiver run down on her spine... Feeling Armaan cold fingers caring her bare waist, Riddhima pull him closer putting her hands around his bare back...
Riddhima was caring her back feeling his well built muscle...
Soon they broke the kiss lack of air and Armaan hide his face on Riddhima neck... Leaving several kisses awaking the demon inside Riddhima's body...
Armaan pull down her dress from one shoulder to make access to kiss her bare shoulder...

Riddhima wasn't able to control her anymore, so she make them turn around putting Armaan jam in between the door and her...
Riddhima push him on the door with her both hands on his manly body and started to care sensually with her fingers feeling his packs... Armaan stop kissing as he felt for the first time Riddhima was doing this...
He rested his head back on the door as Riddhima move closed to and started to place several kisses of his built shoulder and neckline... Also her hands move back to his body as she push her body on his...
Armaan hands were around her body holding her closely... Letting her enjoy the moment and he himself enjoy this wild Riddhima...

Riddhima keep kissing his neckline and move down to his jaw kissing softly... Armaan was also having difficult to control himself so he hold her face in palm and pull her into another kiss which was passionate then the previous one...
Their stress was broken when Riddhima mobile started to ring which was on her jeans pocket... First both ignore it but as it keeps vibrating continuously...
'Riddhima phone...' Armaan said as Riddhima was resting her head on his chest as they were catching their breath...
Riddhima jerk back when she was back to her sense and red color adore her cheeks as she move letting Armaan go and trying to take the mobile from her pocket...
'Helo...' Riddhima said as she successfully took out the mobile with a shivering hand...
Armaan smile seeing how she got nervous all of sudden and move to bed where he kept the shirt which he took out to wear before going to take shower...

Riddhima was talking on the phone but her eyes keep moving to Armaan who has put the shirt on and was buttoning it...
Riddhima turn around when he look at her side, acting as if she was not looking at him, Armaan smile to it...
By the time Riddhima finished the call, Armaan was sitting on the couch which was place in the room with files in front of him on the table...
Not saying anything Riddhima also joins him to her luck, Armaan didn't take the topic and both got involve with work which they were to discuss...

- DOWN IN HALL -

Padma, Shashank and Anjali came along with Atul... Ananya and Billy welcome them as Nikki came running to joins them...
Soon Sapna, Muskaan and Rahul also joins them and everyone was waiting for the PanditJi...

'Mujhe poochliya hota Sapna... Woh Bhai ke room main hai...

They move upstairs to go Armaan room Nikki and Rahul keep saying it would be better if they don't disturb them whereas other were saying nothing would happen if they stop whatever they were discussing...

From the last one hr, Armaan and Riddhima were busy in discussion...
They had finalized which and which they would product to their dealers and Armaan was amaze by how well Riddhima take every decision and the reason why she decide what is good for them and the dealers...
But their dicussion were disturb by the noise which was coming outside the room...

'Mom ne mujhe batayi nehi...' Armaan said as he stood up to go and open the door as others were standing outside discussing god knows what...
'Woh mujhe bola tumhe batane ke liyeh but...' Riddhima said as she stood up and Armaan understand why she forgot to tell him...
'Oh... Its ok...' Armaan said looking at her and winking to see her cheeks turn red...

Armaan goes and open the door to see Atul, Sapna and Nikki in shocked, Rahul and Muskaan giving deadly look to Anjali who was making a sorry face to them...
'Kiya huva guys...' Armaan shouted when no one react as they were statue...
Anjali move inside leaving them to save her self from the war... She knows now they would keep asking question and Muskaan and Rahul will kill her for letting their secret out...
'Ridzyyy...' Anjali came to her and hugs her tight...
'Hi di... Kaise ho...
Aur yeh log koh kiya huva...' Riddhima said as she was standing behind Armaan and seeing others in their shock and angry mode...
'Main tik hoon... Aur kuch nehi huva...' Anjali said...
'Kuch huva nehi hai toh yeh log shock aur angry mode main kyun hai...' Armaan ask looking back to Riddhima and Anjali...
'Pata nehi...' Anjali said as Rahul and Muskaan move inside leaving Sapna, Nikki and Atul outside...
'Champ... Niksss, Sapnaa...' Armaan call their names to which they come back to world...

The three bang inside the room to which Anjali hides behind Riddhima...
Sensing something was fishy. Riddhima look at Armaan and others...
'Ho kiya raha hai... Di...' Riddhima asked trying to move but Anjali were holding her infront of her as she was a barrier...
'Anjy we want answer...' Sapna says...
'Arey woh galati se bol diya yaar...' Anjali said peeping behind Riddhima...
'Kiya bola galati se...' Armaan asked...
'Yehi ki Rahul and Muskaan love each other...' It was Nikki this time...
'What...' Now it was Armaan and Riddhima turn to be shocked...
'Exactly aise hum bhi shock pe hoon...' Atul said...

Armaan and Riddhima look at each other then to Rahul and Muskaan who was standing with their heads down as if they were criminals...
Armaan move to Rahul while Riddhima move to Muskaan hugging them and congratulating...
Nikki, Sapna and Atul were shocked to see this...
'Tum log bhi congratulate karo yaar... Yeh toh khush hone ki baat haina...' Armaan said as he put his hand around Rahul shoulder...
'Haan bhai lekin humhe yeh dono pehle kyun nehi batayi... Aur Anjali koh pata hai... whyy kyunnn...' Nikki said...
'Oh ho Niks, Ismain batane wali kiya baat hai... Yeh dono ki jhagde dekhte toh pata chalta hai ki yeh dono ki pyar dikhane ka tarika hai...' Riddhima said...
'Aur dekho, dono kaise chup chap khade hai... Their silent says jo kuch bhi Anjali ne kaha sab tik hai...' Armaan says...
'Yeh sab chodo... Tum log yaha kyun aaye ho...' Riddhima said knowing Anjali would be in danger if this goes on...

But she didn't know trying to divert their mindly would be dangerous for her and Armaan only...
'Woh toh hum dekhne aayi ti tum dono sach main important matter discuss kar rahe hai ya romance...' Muskaan said as she got the opportunity to turn the matter on them...
'Haan.. Maine kaha ta yeh log koh disturb nehi karte hai... Lekin mera koan sunenge...' Rahul said...
'Toh dekhliya...
Ab jaa sakte ho tum log...' Armaan said showing them the table where the files were kept and showing them the door...
'Besharam... Seedhe seedhe bolo na Ridzy ki saat romance karna hai...' Rahul said...
'Arey... Hum sach main kaam kar rahi ti yaar...' Riddhima said...
'Ab Ridzy ne kaha hai toh maan leti hoon...' Muskaan said and Riddhima gave her 'what do u mean by that...' look...
'I mean Ridzy kyun jhoot bolenge... Aur sach hota toh abhi tak uski cheeks laal laal hojati...' Muskaan said...

Armaan knows if they keep talking like this, soon their secret make out would be out...
'Lekin tum log yaha kiya kar rahi ho...' Armaan asked...
'Arey Ananya aunty ne bhulaya... Woh tumhare aur Ridzy ki shaadi date fixed hoge na... Panditji aa raha hai...' Atul said...
'Haan toh date pandit decide karenge na... Tum log kyun aaye...' Armaan thought to had some fun...
'Kyun Hero... Tum dono ki khushi main humhe shaamil nehi hona chahiyeh...' Muskaan asked...
'Arey, maine tohdi na aisa kaha Muski...
Lekin hum baad main bhi tum log koh bata sakte hai Panjit ne kiya date fix kiya...' Armaan said...
Before they would continue with their arguement, Ananya call from down asking them to move downstairs as PanditJi has reach...

Others were standing behind the couch where they were sitting holding their breath not knowing which date he would give... Armaan and Riddhima were standing little away from them holding each other hands...
Armaan look at Riddhima who was nervous...
'Kiya huva... Dar lag raha hai...' Armaan asked quietly so only she could hear him...
'Dar... Kis baat ki...' Riddhima said not looking at his side...
'What if PanditJi ne kaha hum 2yrs se pehle shaadi nehi kar sakte...' Armaan asked to tease her as naughty smile form on his lips...
'Toh wait karenge aur kiya...' Riddhima said knowing he was teasing her as it was her idea to get married soon...

Riddhima saw Padma wiping her eyes before anyone could see the tears and Shashank was also trying to joins the discussion with Ananya and Billy but he keeps looking at his princess...
After dinner they all went to their respective house...

- IN GUPTA MANSION -

'It's late Princess... Tum ja kar sojao...' Padma says as they enter the house...
Not saying anything else, Riddhima just come and hugs her...
Shashank who enter behind them lock the door and look at his daughter and wife...
He was happy that his princess got her true love but was sad that she would leave this house soon like her sister...
'Mom, kiya main aap dono ki paas so sakti hoon aaj...' Riddhima asked to which Padma nod... 'Main change karke aati hoon...' Riddhima said...

Shashank and Padma move in to their room and change to their night cloth...
They heard knock and Shashank open the door to see Riddhima standing changing to her night dress...
She move inside and hugs her father... Then she look around to see Padma sitting on the bed she move inside and jump in to the bed like a kid and put her head on Padma lap...
Padma and Shashank smile seeing her act... No one speak as the silent were doing all the talking...
'I love u Ma, Papa...' Riddhima said closing her eyes as she feel Padma caring her hair... Soon she was in deep slumber...
Shashank was sitting on the other side of the bed where as Padma was looking at their princess face whom was in deep slumber with a cute smile adoring her face...
'Kitni din baad Riddhima khush lag rahi hai...' It was Shashank who broke the silent...
'Hmm...' Padma says as tears were twinkling in her eyes... Riddhima got her mothers eyes...
'I will miss her Shashank...' Padma says after sometimes...
'Main bhi... But main bohot khush hoon...

'Yaad hai... Jab bhi yeh aur Anjali yaha sone aate hai tab main waha (Pointing to couch) sojata hoon...
Aaj bhi waha sojaunga...' Shashank said...
'Haan lekin aapko takleef hoga...' Padma said...
'Nehi Padma... Tum iski paas sojao... Main waha sojata hoon...' Shashank said...
Soon Padma laid down next to Riddhima and Shashank laid on couch... Sleep were away from their eyes tonight as their mind where thinking their princess would leave after a month to start her new LIFE...
