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

PART 60

'Armaan, meet my cousin...' Abhi said as he pointed to someone...

By the time Riddhima came and stood Armaan left side while Anjali and Atul stood on his right side...

They look towards the person who Abhi was pointing to only their smile was wipped away from their face...

'Siddhant...' It was Riddhima who break the silent...

Abhi, Nikki, Billy and Ananya look towards Riddhima not understanding how Riddhima knows his name... Abhi was also little surprise because he hasn't mention his name yet to anyone other then Nikki and her parents...

Armaan fist got tight seeing Siddhant in front of him and try to move towards him but Riddhima held his hand not wanting to create a scene there...

Armaan look towards Riddhima who says not to do anything throw her eyes...

'Hello Riddhima... We met again...' Siddhant said as Riddhima and Armaan look towards them...

'Mom, Dad I just remember mujhe kuch lena hai before we reach hotel...

I m taking Riddhima with me...' Armaan said not moving his eyes from Siddhant...

'Armaan, main bhi chalti hoon tum dono ki saat... Mujhe bhi Mom ke liyeh kuch lena hai...' Anjali said..

'Lekin...' Billy try to ask him suddenly what happen...

'Sorry Dad, but I have to go...

Sorry Abhi...' Armaan said as he took Riddhima along with him while Anjali and Atul follow them...

Others were left shocked not undestanding what has happen to them suddenly... Nikki felt that something bother them which was surely related to Abhi cousin... She wants to go after them but she knows it would be rude to leave just like they did when at last Abhi cousin has joins them...

'Yeh ho kiya gaya hai suddenly in logo koh...' Billy asked as he look Ananya who was staring at Armaan, Riddhima, Anjali and Atul who stood outside waiting for their car...

'Its ok Dad... Jaruri kaam hoga.. Nehi toh Armaan aise achanak nehi jaate...' Abhi said but even he felt that something tension took in between him and Siddhant...

BACK IN HOTEL

Armaan and Riddhima along with Anjali and Atul were in ArmaanRiddhima Room... Armaan was walking around while others were sitting watching him...

'I don't believe it... I just, don't believe it woh Abhi ka cousin hai...' Armaan said as he was furious to know this small information about Abhi...

'But koan kahenge yeh dono relatives hai...' Atul said...

'Lekin ab toh humhe pata haina Abhi us ...' Armaan stop not waiting to abuse someone who don't deserve his abuse either...

Riddhima who was sitting with Anjali move towards Armaan knowing she needs to calm him before the others come... Also she knows that now they need to explain why they leave like that and Nikki will surely ask them...

'Armaan, u need to calm down...' Riddhima said...

'Calm down... How can I calm down Riddhi... Knowing the truth of him and now Abhi who is related to him is in relatioship with my sister...' Armaan voice rise hearing Riddhima asking him to calm down...

Anjali and Atul look each other knowing it would be bette if they leave them alone to speak each other... Riddhima left a breath knowing it would be hard to make Armaan understand but she needs to do it for Nikki because she don't want her to suffer because of her past...

'Ridzy, hum log ek hour baad neeche milti hoon... Mujhe last minute packing bhi karna hai...' Anjali said as she stood to leave...

'Sure Di...' Riddhima said hugging her...

'I know u will handle him... Everything will be alright...' Anjali whisper to Riddhima...

Riddhima smile a little thanking Anjali for having so much trust on her... Soon Anjali and Atul left to their room... Riddhima turn around to look Armaan after locking the door to see Armaan standing near the window looking outside... Riddhima knows it was a tough task because Nikki is involve in the matter...

When it comes the ones who he love the most, he wouldn't spare the other person until he feels the matter would be clear and make his love ones protected and happy...

Riddhima move towards Armaan hugging him from behind... Armaan didn't move an inch feeling her touch and Riddhima understood how much furious Armaan was...

'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name...

When Armaan didn't say or move, Riddhima make him turn towards her... Seeing his anger has calm down, Riddhima feel it was the best time to talk him about the matter...

'Armaan, main jaanti hoon u r in second thought knowing Siddhant is Abhi cousin... But please, tum aisa kuch mat karna tum baad main regret kare...

Nikki aur Abhi ek dusre se bohot zyada pyar karta hai... Aur tum bhi Abhi koh jaante haina...

Woh Siddhant ke tarah nehi hai... I m sure Siddhant ke baare main use pata bhi nehi hoga... Hota toh...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan...

'Hota toh bhi humhare baat ka yakeen nehi karega woh... Kare bhi toh the fact their are cousin can't be deny right...' Armaan said...

Riddhima knows now Armaan was being protective for Nikki... He was thinking what if the same happen with Nikki which happens to her before she met with Armaan...

'Armaan, Abhi bohot accha ladka hai...

Woh kabhi Nikki ke saat kuch galat nehi karenge...' Riddhima said holding Armaan hand in hers...

'But...' Armaan try to say but Riddhima cut him placing her finger on his lips...

'Please Armaan...

Main nehi chaahti meri past ki wajahse Nikki ki present pe asar kare...

Maine us baat koh bhul chuki hoon, tumhare aane ki baad...

Jo Siddhant ne mere saat karne ki koshish ki, woh use hasil nehi huva... Aur use pata ta ab main use hasil hone bhi nehi dungi... Please Armaan... Please yeh baat koh yehi se khatam karo...

Mere life main woh chapter kabka close karke seal kardi maine... Please phirse woh kholo mat...

I know tum Nikki se bohot zyada pyar karte hai... Tum Nikki koh khush dekhna chahte hai toh plz kuch mat kehna...' Riddhima said..

'Riddhi, Abhi se Nikki ka rishta hone ka matlab tum jaante hona...

Abhi ki tarafse woh har function main participate hoga... Phir tum kaise sambhalenge apne aapko...' Armaan said...

Riddhima smile hearing him... Armaan wasn't concern for only Nikki, he was concern for her as well thinking how she would feel seeing Siddhant...

'Jab tum meri saat ho toh mujhe khud koh sambhalne ki kiya jarurat...

Aur mujhe pura yakeen hai tum hamesha aise meri saat rahenge mujhe sambhalne ke liyeh right...' Riddhima said hugging him by his waist...

'Always...' Armaan said hugging her...

'I love u Armaan...' Riddhima whisper as she hides her face on his chest...

'I love you too...' Armaan said hiding his face on his neck kissing her neck...

IN AIRPORT

Gang reach the airport with Billy and Ananya... Ananya was crying to see her kids going back as she has to wait for another two weeks without them... Ananya was telling Riddhima to take care of Nikki, Armaan and herself... Billy ask Armaan to take care of Nikki and Riddhima...

Soon they move inside to go through the securities and aboard the flight to go back...

BACK IN MUMBAI

Armaan and others reach by 3am in the morning... They were half sleepy so Armaan had to get wake them up as he was the only one who didn't sleep all the way back for a single second...

Atul and Anjali left to their house from airport and same goes with Abhi... Armaan got Nikki and Riddhima in the car safely with their bags and he drive all the way back to home while Riddhima and Nikki slept peacefully...

AROUND 1PM

Riddhima sleep was broke when she felt the sun rays hit her face... She took a turn and hide her face on Armaan chest who was sleeping peacefully holding her... Next moment someone was knocking the door or better say banging it as if they must come inside breaking it...

Riddhima open her sleepy eyes looking at the clock and jerk up seeing it was 1 in the afternoon...

Riddhima look around to see she was in the same cloth which she had been traveling back from Malaysia... She look towards Armaan who was sleeping shirtless but he hasn't change his jeans to comfortable cloth...

'Bhabs... Open the door...' Nikki call from the other side...

Riddhima stood up tieing her hair in to a messy bun as she move rubbing her eyes to make her sleep vanished from her eyes...

When Riddhima open the door, she saw Nikki standing with her Night Big T.Shirt and Short... Her hair was on a messy bun just like her and seeing Riddhima she laugh as they look like collage girls waking in afternoon on a holiday...

'Bhabs, u look beautiful...' Nikki said...

'Kuch bhi Niks... Kiya huva... Kuch chahiyeh tumhe...' Riddhima asked...

'Haan Bhabs... Mujhe bhuk lagi hai but ghar main toh kuch bhi nehi hai...

I guess abhi tak koi servants bhi nhi aaya... I was wondering kiya hum baahar se khana order kare...

We can go and buy something to make dinner later...' Nikki said...

'Ofcourse Niks... Jo tujhe pasand hai woh order karde na...

Tab tak main tayyar hojati hoon aur tumhari Bhai koh bhi uta dunga...' Riddhima said looking at Armaan who was snuggling on his pillow...

Nikki put her head inside not entering the room and smile seeing her brother sleeping like a baby... Then she remember that she don't know how she reach to her room as she wake up on her comfortable bed around 8am, as she was so sleepy she change her cloth and hit back to get more sleep...

She was woken by Abhi who call about an hour ago and they talk for sometimes before he end the call saying he need to go work...

Nikki remember what she and Abhi were talking about in the phone and thought if she should ask from Riddhima or leave it them to come and talk what happen back in Malaysia when they met with Abhi cousin Siddhant...

Riddhima saw Nikki lost in her thought and she understood that what Nikki might be thinking... So Riddhima touch Nikki arm bring him back to real world...

'Kiya huva Niks, tum pareshan lag rahi ho... Abhi se koi baat huvi...' Riddhima ask with concern...

Nikki look inside to check if Armaan was sleeping or not... When she saw that Armaan was in deep slumber, she took Riddhima hand and move to her room closing the door behind them...

Riddhima was little surprise with Nikki action but she didn't ask anything and let Nikki speak...

'Bhabs.. Please aap mujhe sach sach batana...

Kal aaplog aise achanak kyun waha se chali gayi jab Abhi ki cousin aaya...' Nikki asked...

Riddhima somehow was expecting Nikki to ask this from her... Riddhima look towards Nikki and know she needs to know the truth because Riddhima don't want her to think that Armaan is not happy with her and Abhi being together...

So before telling her the truth, Riddhima make Nikki sit on her bed and sit next to her... Riddhima took Nikki hands in hers and look towards her to see those questions in her eyes...

'Nikki, jo main batana chaahti hoon, woh tum dyan se sunna okey...' Riddhima said...

Nikki didn't say anything just keep staring at Riddhima waiting for her to continue what she wants to tell her... She knows it was something related to her thats the only reason that Armaan react like that when they confronted Siddhant...

'Niks, u know maine kaha ta tujhe ki main kyun pehle Armaan pe trust nehi kar sakte right...

Due to some happenings in my past...' Riddhima started to tell her about her past which she never feel comfortable of talking like this to anyone...

Nikki nodded her head understanding what Riddhima was saying and wait her to continue... Riddhima let a breath before she continue... Meeting her eyes with Nikki's, Riddhima continue...

'Niks, woh ladka jo mujhe dokha diya... Woh koi aur nehi, Siddhant hai...' Riddhima said...

Nikki got rooted on the spot hearing Ridddhima... Riddhima tell her everything from the beginning and yesterday...

She don't know if Nikki would believe or not but she thought it would be better if she tell her from her side before Siddhant or Abhi come and tell her...

Riddhima finished telling her and Nikki sit listening to her each and every word... Riddhima knows it would be difficult Nikki to believe wht Riddhima just said...

'Nikki, Shayad Abhi koh bhi nehi pata Siddhant aur main pehle ek rishte main ti...

Aur maine bhi pehle Siddhant se Abhi ke baare main kuch nehi suna... Toh shayad Abhi in sabse anjaan hai...' Riddhima said...

'Bhabs, kiya bhai meri aur Abhi ke...' Nikki try to complete but Riddhima cut her...

'Nehi Niks, Armaan koh tumhari aur Abhi ke relation se koi problem nehi hai...

Woh bas issiliyeh aise react ki sochke if Siddhant Abhi ke cousin hai toh woh Abhi ke tarafse har ritual pe participate karenge...

Believe me Niks, mujhe koi problem nehi hai aur nahi tumhari Bhai koh... Main use samjha diya hai ki hum dono milne Siddhant ka saamna karenge... Jo Siddhant ne mere saat karne chaaha, woh use khaamiyab nehi huva...

Aur mujhe nehi lagta Siddhant aisa kuch karne ke sochenge bhi aage... Please tum Abhi se naraz mat hona... Mujhe aur Armaan koh koi problem nehi hai..' Riddhima said...

'Nehi Bhabs... Aap aur Bhai koh problem nehi ho sakte lekin ab mujhe problem hai...

Jis insaan ne meri Bhabs koh itna takleef di, usse koi bhi rishta rakhna mujhe pasand nehi hai...

Main Abhi se kahungi woh Siddhant koh humhare sagai aur Shaadi ki koh function pe invite na kare...' Nikki said...

Riddhima was shocked to hear this... Yesterday, Riddhima was making Armaan understand and now here, Nikki was mad at Siddhant just like Armaan...

'Niks, We can't deny the fact he is Abhi cousin... Yehi sach hai...

Aur hum yeh nehi keh sakte Abhi se...' Riddhima said...

'Nehi Bhabs... Siddhant aayenge toh mujhe pata hai aap aur Bhai pareshan rahenge jo main nehi chaahte...

Main chaahta hoon meri sagai main aap aur bhai khoob enjoy kare... Aur uske present hone ki wajahse aap nehi karpaenge... Aap bas mujhe keh rahe ho lekin maine dekha hai kal jab aapne Siddhant se mila aap kitni uncomfortable ti... Please Bhabs...

Abhi toh meri yeh shart manzur nehi hai toh tik hai.. Mujhe shaadi hi nehi karni usse lekin aap meri wajahse kuch bhi sahe, I don't want it to happen..' Nikki said as she stood up...

Riddhima shake her head seeing how stubborn Nikki was just like Armaan... Both were thinking about her but not their own happiness...

'Relax Niks... Kyun tum apne mood kharab kar rahe ho... Chalo tum fresh hojao aur plz... Hum isbaare main aur baat nehi karenge okey...' Riddhima said...

'But Bhabs..' Nikki said but Riddhima cut her...

'Nehi Niks... Its better we just end this discussion from here...

Ab tum fresh hojao aur order kardo, main tujhe neeche milti hoon okey...' Riddhima said patting Nikki cheeks and leave Nikki in her room to get ready...

Riddhima move towards her room hoping that Nikki would listening to her and drop the topic from there... Riddhima knows it would be awkward if Nikki tell Abhi about her relation with Siddhant... Also Riddhima want all that to be left behind because Armaan is her present now...

As Riddhima enter the room, she look towards the bed to see Armaan sleeping peacefully... Not wanting to wake him up before getting fresh up, Riddhima took her cloths and move to the washroom to get freshen up...

After 20mins Riddhima came out to see still Armaan sleeping... Riddhima move to him and shake him asking to wake up as it was 2pm now... But Armaan didn't move so Riddhima thought to let him sleep till he wake up by himself...

So after taking his clean cloth, Riddhima move out letting him catch his sleep...

Armaan sleep were disturb when he heard a faint sound... He open his lazy eyes as he touch other side of the bed where Riddhima sleep... Not getting hold of Riddhima, Armaan open his eyes fully looking around the room to get a sight of his beautiful wife...

When Armaan couldn't see her around, he understood she must have gone down to the kitchen or hall... He look at his side of the bed to see his mobile giving light showing someone was calling him... He was in no mood to attend any call at the moment but thinking it might be his parents, he look only to see office number flashing...

Armaan look at the time and was wondering who must be calling at this time... Not having another option, Armaan asnwer the call and it was Mrs. Khanna to check whether they will be coming to office the next day as some clients wnated to meet him...

After ending the call, Armaan got up and move to the washroom to get freshen up before going down to join Riddhima and Nikki who he knows must be with each other...

As expected when Armaan came down to see Riddhima and Nikki enjoying some fashion show which was showing... They were sitting with their legs on the couch while each had a pizza slice on their hand as they got glass of coke in their other hand... Armaan smile wildly seeing his two favorite girl enjoying girls time together...

They were unaware that Armaan was standing there admiring them... Armaan pouted when they didn't feel his present so he shouted, 'Good Afternoon Ladies...'

Riddhima and Nikki who were busy watching television jump on their seat hearing Armaan voice all of sudden... Armaan laugh seeing there expression and Nikki put her glass and pizza slice which was half eaten and run behind Armaan to hit him for giving them a heartattack...

Armaan and Nikki run around the hall for 10mins and Riddhima try to stop them but they keep running making a huge mess... Riddhima had enough of their messing around so she shouted on top of her voice...

'Stoppp...' Riddhima said as she stood with her hands on her hips...

Armaan and Nikki look towards Riddhima and when they saw Riddhima giving deadly look towards them, they started to collect the cushions and other things that they have knock down while running around...

As they were done, they look towards Riddhima who was sitting enjoying her pizza... Seeing this Nikki and Armaan stood with their mouth hang open...

Riddhima who was watching their action press her lips as she saw them staring at her... Riddhima who was acting as if she was watching the show keep eating her pizza...

When they didn't move their gaze away from her, Riddhima look at them asking what happen through her eyes...

Neither Armaan or Nikki said anything but just keep staring...

'Guys, tum log koh nehi khana hai toh mat kao... Lekin mujhe aise gur gur ke mat dekho okey...' Riddhima at last said breaking their trace...

Soon Armaan and Nikki were attacking the pizza and three of them enjoy their lunch while commenting the show they were watching... When they were done with lunch, Riddhima took the empty box's and move towards the kitchen...

'Bhabs, main tayyar hojati hoon...

We need to go to the market na...' Nikki said as she stood up leaving Armaan to watch television...

'Market kyun...' Armaan asked who was unaware of their plan...

'Kyunki ghar main kuch nehi hai dinner ya kal subah breakfast bana ne ke liyeh...

Aur aap yeh poochne se pehle main bata dun bhai, abhi tak koi servant bhi nehi aaya which mean raat koh khana Bhabs aur main milke banaungi...

Main Kaka koh call kiya hai woh log kal aajaenge because aapne kal ke date tak waapas aane koh kaha...' Nikki said as she move upstairs...

Armaan think what Nikki just said and he also remember that he ask them to join back to their work the very next day as he check the date... He look around to see Riddhima was no where to be seen and he knows she must went to kitchen to clean the glasses and put the trash on bin...

Seeing Nikki has gone to get ready and Riddhima haven't give his dose of kisses, Armaan move towards the kitchen to see Riddhima standing near the counter drying the glasses...

Armaan look back towards the hall to check if Nikki was coming or not, he move inside not making noise... Riddhima who was busy doing her work, turn around to leave as she finished to bumped to Armaan...

Armaan put his hand around her waist before they lose their balance and Riddhima hands landed on Armaan chest...

'Armaan, tumne mujhe dara diya...

Chodo, mujhe change karna hai aur humhe market jaana hai...

Please don't say u r not going because u r going to take us and help us getting all the neccessary things we will be needing... So lets go and...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan who put his finger on her lips...

Riddhima look at Armaan whose face was inch away from hers... Seeing the passion in his eyes, Riddhima knew what he must be wanting from her... But Riddhima knows it was not time to get lost in him so she move her gaze away from him breaking the eyelock...

'Armaan, Please chodo... Niks aajaenge...' Riddhima said struggling in his hold but Armaan pull her close to him not leaving distance between them...

'Woh tayyar hone gaye hai aur I don't think tumhe kapde badhalne ki jarurat hai... U r looking absolutely gorgeous in that two piece of cloth Riddhi...

Wonder maine abhi tak apne aapko kaise control kiya... I mean when my wife look so much hot...' Armaan said moving close to her and nuzzling on her ear...

Riddhima close her eyes when she felt Armaan hot breath kissing her ears nuzzling... Riddhima bit her lower lip to control her smile as well as her desire... But feeling Armaan cold fingers inside her top on her bare waist, moan sound escape from Riddhima mouth...

Armaan smile when he was successful diverting Riddhima mind and now she was under his charm... As Riddhima hair was still up holding in a messy bun, Armaan leave several kisses on her bare neckline... Riddhima try not to get affect by him but was loosing the battle as Armaan was making her go weak in her knee...

Feeling Armaan kissing all over her necklines throat, jawline and as he move towards her lips to seal it with his, Riddhima push him as her heartbeat was running fast... She felt heat on her cheeks and she bit her lower lips to control her heavy breath as she run out from the kitchen and make her way towards the room...

She knows Armaan was coming behind him but she knows it would be better if they be in their room as Nikki was still present in the same house...

Armaan whose trace was broken by Riddhima suddenly push, run behind Riddhima as she make her way to the stairs and to their room... As Riddhima enter their room, Armaan also move behind her closing the door... He got hold of Riddhima wrist and pull her making her back touch the close door...

'Ab bach ke kaha jaenge Mrs.Mallik... Ab yaha Niks nehi aayenge...' Armaan said as he press his body on hers holding her by her waist...

'Armaan, humhe market jaana hai...' Riddhima said not looking at Armaan knowing she would get lost once she look towards him which don't want to...

'Haan toh maine kab mana kiya... But tumhe nehi lagta apni pati koh uske dose ka kisses dena chahiyeh abhi... Bechara pati kitni der se control kar raha hai uske hot wife koh dekhke...' Armaan said as he care Riddhima lower lip with his thump...

Riddhima felt shiver run down in her spine as goosebumps took place in her skin making her go weak by her knee and she felt butterflies in her stomach...

Armaan smile seeing Riddhima shiver under his hold and not waiting, Armaan place his lips over hers taking her to another world with him... As they keep kissing, the kiss keep getting deeper and passionate...

Riddhima hands move around Armaan neck and in to hair hair ruffling while Armaan hands move inside Riddhima top on her back as Armaan put his weight over her body feeling her every perfect curve on his hard ones...

When they were out of breath, Armaan move his head on her neck kissing and chewing her soft skin in between his teeth... Riddhima moan feeling Armaan bit her skin turning the area red and Armaan suck the spot making the pain release... Armaan move to look at Riddhima who was standing with her head touching the door as her chest go up and down with her uncontrolable breath...

Armaan touch his forehead with hers as he also try to control his breath...

They stood like this for sometimes when they heard a faint knock and Nikki calling them if they are ready or not... Hearing Nikki, Riddhima look at Armaan who chuckle seeing her expression...

'Bas 3mins main aa rahi hoon Niks... Tum neeche wait karo...' Armaan said as he left go of Riddhima who went to washroom...

'Jaldi karna Bhai...' Nikki said and Armaan hear her walking away...

Armaan look around to see Riddhima coming out after washing her face, Armaan went inside to wash his face and when he came out he saw Riddhima talking someone on mobile...

Armaan got his mobile and keys tap Riddhima shoulder who turn around asking what happen... Armaan ask her to come down and Riddhima asked from her hand to go one she will be joining them shortly...

Armaan and NIkki wait for Riddhima to come down and after another 5mins, Riddhima came who had left her hair open and put eyeliner and lipsgloss to make her look fresh...

'At last... Kisse baat kar rahi ti itni der se...' Nikki said...

'Woh Ma ka call ta... Sorry to keep u both wait...' Riddhima said as Armaan and Nikki stood up to leave...

'Koi baat nehi Riddhi... Abhi chalte hai...' Armaan said as they move to the main door...

As they open the door, they was attack by...

With Love,

Rihoohaws...
