PART 68

NEXT DAY

Riddhima wake up early in the morning after she had been slept later the night as Armaan had waken up in the middle of the night to get his dinner... So after spending sometimes with each other, as they had taken off from work, still Riddhima manage to wake up by 8am, knowing that she needs to do so many things around the house before Nikki come...

After 5whole months of being away, Nikki was coming for a month on her holiday... Everyone decide that they would be giving as much time as they could for Nikki as they had miss her so much... However they skype her every night, but Nikki not being around them make them feel that something was missing from their life... True was she is the angel of them and she was the one missing in the house which brings happiness after Riddhima...

Riddhima didn't make Billy and Ananya miss her much but still they miss their daughter as she was now not their only daughter... They never show this to Nikki knowing how much she miss her home specially her darling mother and sister in law kam sister...

So as being Nikki Sister and friend, Riddhima took the responsibility of making everything perfect for Nikki when she enter the house... She make sure that they make every food of Nikki favorite and decorate Nikki room with her favorite color and candles so that she would feel happy and relax...

After breakfast, Riddhima got busy with Nikki room and Armaan was send out to get Nikki favorite cake which Riddhima didn't forget to order... Riddhima don't want it to be deliver and at the last minute any problem to happen and get the cake delay so she make Armaan personally go and get the cake which was 'Welcome Back' cake for Nikki...

'Riddhima...' Ananya call as she enter Nikki room to check why Riddhima was taking so much time as they need to get back to kitchen to make lunch...

Seeing unlike everything was clean and in there respective place, Ananya smile knowing it would be for a day... Ananya knows how much Riddhima put her all effect to keep the place tide and spotless but once Nikki entry, everything would be mess up in no time...

Ananya look around the room and smile as she saw the teddies on the bed as it was made neatly with Nikki favorite round shape pillows... Riddhima look towards Ananya when she heard Ananya calling and when she didn't hear saying anything else.. Riddhima saw Ananya admiring the room and seeing her expression, Riddhima knew everything was looking beyong perfect...

Riddhima also look around the room as she move towards Ananya standing next to her... Smile were adoring on her face seeing how much Ananya like the spotless room and what she would be saying next moment she come out from the trace...

'Riddhima, yeh sab...' Ananya try to say but Riddhima complete for her...

'I know Mom, yeh sab kuch waqt ke liyeh aise rahenge kyunki Nikki koh aate hai woh sab kuch mess up kardenge... But Mom, meri toh farz haina main apne Nanand ke liyeh uski room decorate kare... When she is coming after whole 5months... Use bhi aisa lagna chahiyeh na hum usko kitna miss kiya...' Riddhima said hugging Ananya...

'Tum aur uske kitna fark hai... Yaha tum sab kuch clean and tide rakhe ho aur Nikki, sabke kaam hamesha badate ho... Pata nehi kab us ladki koh akal aayenge shaadi ke baad woh aise nehi rakh sakhte apne room...' Ananya said...

'Mom, aap kyun chinta kar rahi ho... Nikki bohot samajhdaar hai... Haan tohda lazy hai kyunki use sab kuch mess up accha lagti hai... Mom, I know shaadi ke baad woh apne zimmedaari bohot acche se samjhenge... Aur main hoon na usko samjhaane liyeh... Aap fikar mat karo, main Nikki koh aapko sharminda karne ke ek bhi moka nehi dungi uske shaadi ke baad... Kyunki main apni Nanand koh puri tarah training dekhe bhejungi uske sasural...' Riddhima said...

'Haan, sirf tum hi use sambhal sakte ho...' Ananya said hitting Riddhima cheeks softly as Riddhima gave Ananya her best smile...

'Woh aap bhi kar sakte ho Mom... Bas Nikki koh pyar se samjhao... Woh samajh jaenge...' Riddhima said...

'Ab apni Nanand ke tarafdaari karna band karo... Lunch nehi banani kiya...' Ananya asked...

Riddhima check the time and it was 11 30... Riddhima bit her tongue as she had forget about the lunch as she was too much busy decorating the room... Riddhima was wearing salwar suit with her dupatta around her waist... Her hair was tied in to a messy bun with some hairs loose falling over her shoulder... She was looking so fresh but only anyone sees her running from here and there knows how much work she had done in a short time...

'Koi baat nehi... Tum subahse busy ho toh waqt ka pata nehi chala hoga...

Issiliyeh toh main aayi hoon dekhne... Waise main kar sakti ti lekin mujhe pata hai tum khud uske liyeh sab kuch apne haat se karna chaahte ho...' Ananya said...

'Mom, aapko Nikki ke liyeh uski favorite sweet dish banana hai...' Riddhima said...

'Haan main sirf ek dish aur tum sabke liyeh alag alag dishes bana ne wale ho... Thats really not fair...' Ananya said...

'Mom, ab bahu ghar pe hai toh saas kyun kaam kare...' Riddhima said..

'Pehli baar, main bohot khushnaseeb hoon mujhe tum jaise ladki mili apni Armaan ke liyeh...

Dursi baat, tum bahu nehi meri beti ho...' Ananya said...

'Awww, I love u Mom... Aur I know main aapki beti hoon...

Toh mujhe hak haina main apnon ke liyeh sab kuch karne ki...' Riddhima said as they enter the kitchen...

'Haan, maine tohdi na mana kiya... But mujhe help karne bhi dete...' Ananya said...

'Ab aap itni pyarse bol rahe ho toh tik hai... Aapko help karne de hi deti hoon...

Aur main bhi bohot khushnaseeb hoon mujhe aap mili...

After marriage, girls only can be happy in their husband house when she get so much love from her in laws... Everyone is not like u all, I m very lucky that I got such a cute family, who loves me as I m their own daughter... How much we want, the relation wouldn't change... Aap meri saas ho aur main aapki bahu... Bas nazariya ma-beti ki tarah hai...' Riddhima said...

'Baapre...Mujhe nehi pata tum itna bolte ho Riddhima...

Lekin main bohot khush hoon tum humhare saat khush hai... And u share everything without being hesitate... Sach main tum bohot acche ho...' Ananya said...

'Main jab bolti hoon tab main logo ke saat comfortable hoti hoon Mom... Aur mujhe pata hai aaplog meri koi bhi baat ka bura nehi maanenge... Main galat hoon toh mujhe bata dena, main sahi karne ki koshish karungi..' Riddhima said...

'Toh tik hai, abhi yeh sab baate khatam karo... Aur kaam shuru karte hai...' Ananya said...

Ananya and Riddhima got busy with lunch while Billy were in his room working on some files... Armaan hasn't come from the cake shop yet and Riddhima didn't call him to check if he got it or not thinking Armaan would have call her if he didn't get it...

As they have another 2hours before Nikki flight land, Riddhima knows Armaan would be back soon so he and Billy would be leaving to the airport to get Nikki... Ananya and Riddhima said they would be staying home to welcome Nikki and it wouldn't be necessary everyone to go to the airport...

CAKE SHOP

Armaan was waiting for his order as the cashier says it would be coming in 5mins... Its been 15mins already Armaan had been there... Armaan was sitting near a corner table as he tap his mobile checking the msg he had received from work and some from his friends...

One of the msg was from Atul, telling him how his moody wife had been driving him crazy and hope he could help him... Armaan smile knowing how much moody Anjali must be because she was pregnant and her mood swing has started from last two months...

Armaan was busy msging with Atul not knowing that someone eyes were watching him closely... Customers were sitting around the little shop enjoying their dessert... Workers were busy trying to provide their products to their customer and make them happy...

'Armaan Mallik...' Armaan move his gaze away from his mobile hearing his name call...

Cashier who was sitting behind the counter was calling his name as a box was kept infront of her nicely wrap the cake inside it...

Giving his best smile, Armaan move towards the counter, asking how much it cost as Riddhima has already inform him that she hasn't pay for it... When the cashier give him the bill, Armaan pay for it and thank her as he move out holding the cake...

All this while, a pair of eyes were watching Armaan each and every action... Armaan wasn't unaware of this so he keeps moving to get back to his house as soon as possible knowing he would have to leave to the airport in 20mins...

MALLIK MANSION

Ananya and Riddhima were done with lunch... Riddhima asked Ananya to go and fresh up and check if Billy were ready to leave... When Riddhima finished the rest of the work, she move out from the kitchen to see Billy sitting in the hall watching tv... Riddhima check the time and it was almost time for him and Armaan to leave... Riddhima was wondering why Armaan was taking so much time then she thought Armaan must have come and went to room to freshen up before they leave...

'Dad, Armaan aagaye...' Riddhima asked...

'Nehi Riddhima... Woh toh abhi tak nehi aaya... Pata nehi kaha rehgaye...' Billy said not moving his eyes from the tv screen...

Riddhima check her mobile to see if Armaan has msg or call her but not getting anything from Armaan, Riddhima thought to check... She was about to dial Armaan number when she heard the car stopping outside... Riddhima turn around to see Armaan coming with a big smile on his face as he hold the cake box carefully in his one arm...

'Itni der kyun hogayi...' Riddhima asked taking the cake from Armaan...

'Woh waha bohot log ti na... Issiliyeh...

Cake tayyar ta but mujhe apne turn par wait karna pada...' Armaan said...

'Beti, mujhe cake dikhao...' Billy came like an excited kid to have a look at the cake...

Riddhima and Armaan smile seeing Billy action knowing how much Billy likes sweets stuff but they need to keep him under control... Riddhima who is taking good responsibility of everyone, always manage everything according to their health...

'Dad, baad main dekhlena... Abhi humhe chalna chahiyeh nehi toh der hojaenge..' Armaan said...

'Haan toh chalte haina... Itna bhi der nehi huva buddy...

Mujhe kaha cake khana hai... Mujhe toh bas dekhna hai...' Billy said...

'Haan toh baad main bhi toh dekh sakte haina... Aisa nehi hai hum log ke aane se pehle Mom aur Riddhi woh cake khalenge...' Armaan said...

'Maine kab kaha woh dono khalenge... Mujhe toh bas dekhna hai...' Billy said...

'Armaan, Dad koh dekhne do na... Usmain kitna time lagti hai...' RIddhima said as she move towards the dinning table placing the box and opening it to show the cake to Billy who was standing behind Riddhima...

Armaan stood where he had been standing and he shake his head seeing how childish his own father was behaving... When Riddhima show Billy the cake, Billy smile widely linking his lips... Billy move close to the cake but before he could touch it, Riddhima close the box knowing what Billy was up to...

'Sorry Dad, u r not getting a single bite before Nikki comes...

So better abhi aap jao aur jaldi humhari Niks koh waapas lao... Phir hum sab saat main cake enjoy karenge okey...' Riddhima said taking the cake and moving towards the kitchen...

'Thats not fair Riddhima beti... Chotusa piece please...' Billy said with a puppy face...

Riddhima smile seeing his expression and know she understood from whom Armaan had learn to show those cute faces... As it says like father like son... Riddhima knows it wasn't good for him so if he wants to eat, he had to wait till Nikki comes...

'Sorry Dad, u r not getting one single piece before Niks come...

Its a welcome back cake for her toh use hi cut karna hogi na... Chalo ab aap jao Armaan wait kar raha hai...' Riddhima said as she put the cake on the counter and coming out to see Billy still standing on the same spot with that puppy face...

Knowing Riddhima wouldn't going to get melt seeing his expression, Billy move towards Armaan who was back on his mobile as he wants for Armaan... When Riddhima and Billy came back, Armaan look towards then and saw Billy sad expression... Armaan knows what must have happen and Billy must have try his luck to get a piece from the delicious cake...

'Chale Dad... I guess aapko jo chahiyeh woh nehi mila...

Koi baat nehi, hum jaldi se Niks koh le aate hai phir koi bhi aapko mana nehi karenge...' Armaan said putting his hand around Billy shoulder...

'Yeah I guess u r right this time buddy... Yeh Riddhima bhi tumhare Mom ke tarah hone laga hai...

Dekho kitni strict hai...' Billy said as he fold his arms on his chest...

'Really now Mr. Mallik...' Ananya said as she came out getting freshen up and changing cloths...

When Ananya came out, she heard Billy words and she understood Riddhima refuse giving him cake which he had been eagerly waiting from the moment Armaan has gone to collect it... As now Armaan was back, Ananya knows Billy must have try his luck taking the advantage of her not being around but she knows Riddhima will take care of everything on her way...

'Buddy, Arn't we getting really late... Lets move nehi toh tujhe pata haina Princess bohot gussa karne wali hai late huvi toh...' Billy said moving towards the main door leaving knowing Ananya had heard his words...

Riddhima and Ananya chuckle with Billy changing the topic and moving out from the house were else Armaan follow him waving bye to Ananya and Riddhima shaking his head to Billy who got caught by his mother... When Billy and Armaan were out of their sight, Ananya and Riddhima look at each other and next moment they brush out laughing knowing Billy must had got scared when Ananya caught him saying Riddhima was being strict like Ananya...

Ananya asked Riddhima if everything was done... Riddhima show Ananya everything and as the aroma spread in the kitchen, Ananya praise Riddhima for such a lovely lunch...

'Ab chaldi se tayyar hajoa... Main baaki sab kaam dekhlungi...' Ananya said pushing Riddhima out from the kitchen...

AIRPORT

Nikki flight has landed on time and Nikki came out holding her bags... Nikki look around to see who had come to received but seeing no one familiar, Nikki frown checking the time knowing whoever was coming was late... Nikki took out her mobile and on it to call Armaan to check who was going to come to received her but the moment she open it, Abhi call her asking if she has landed safely...

Nikki was busy talking Abhi when someone tap her shoulder... Cutting the call, Nikki turn to be face to face with Armaan and Billy... First Nikki hugs Billy and then she jump on Armaan who hugs her making her feet leave the ground...

'Omg, I miss u all so much... Where is Mom and Bhabs...' Nikki asked as Armaan got her bags and as they make their way out towards the car...

'Woh dono ghar par hai... Jaldi chalo, woh dono bhi tumse milne ke liyeh wait kar rahi hai...' Billy said...

Soon three Malliks were making their way to Mallik Mansion as Billy and Nikki talk about her studies and all... Also Nikki asked what has happen in her absent and Armaan said nothing other then Anjali being pregnant... Nikki was so excited to meet Anjali as her belly has started to show...

'Haan we can meet Anjali on Sunday... Waise Niks, tumhe yaad haina... Riddhima ki birthday aane wali hai...' Armaan said...

'Yeah how can I forget Bhai... I m so excited... Aapne kuch socha...' Nikki asked...

'Nehi abhi nehi... Dad, aapko kiya lagta hai... What should we do...' Armaan asked...

'I don't think Riddhima would want a big party... Lekin hum families get together toh rakh sakte haina...

Whats say we took off from work and arrange a picnic to our farmhouse...' Billy asked...

'Wow Dad, it would be brilliant idea...' Nikki said...

'Yah it would be something Riddhi wouldn't expect...' Armaan said...

'Toh its final... We can discuss this with Ananya and arrange everything else... Armaan u would be taking Riddhima to the farmhouse at 12... We will give her a surprise...' Billy said...

'That would be awesome Dad... Bhabs gonna love it.. Her first birthday with us..' Nikki said...

'Ofcourse she is gonna love it Niks... After all the Billy Mallik ki idea hai...' Billy said...

Billy and Nikki laugh as they hi5 and Armaan chuckle hearing their father praising himself... Armaan think how he used to say the same whenever he do something like that and he has no doubt that he was Billy's son...

Billy and Nikki continue discussing what they would do in farmhouse and how they are gonna invite others not letting Riddhima get any clue of this... Armaan also participate in the discussion but didn't say much as he was focusing on the road...

MALLIK MANSION

Ananya and Ridhdima were waiting for Nikki and after an hour, their waiting came to an end... Hearing the car coming, Ananya and Riddhima move to the door to see Nikki coming out from the car...

Seeing Ananya and Riddhima standing in front of the door to welcome her, Nikki run towards them hugging them... Ananya and Ridddhima hugs her back and Ananya started with her questions not letting Nikki speak for a second... Others smile seeing how Ananya was showering Nikki with her caring questions but was also not letting Nikki speak...

When Ananya didn't stop with her questions, Nikki put her hand on her mouth... Armaan brush out laughing seeing Ananya eyes getting wide and Riddhima control her laugh not laughing loud... Billy also control his laugh and Nikki drag her mother inside not wanting to stand outside as she was too tired to stand for another minute...

'Mom, main bilkul tik hoon... Aapke saamne toh khada hoon na...

Aur mujhe pata hai aap kahenge main kitni patli and all... Main moti hojaungi toh aapko pata haina bhai ek minute bhi nehi chodenge mujhe tease karne main... But ek baat hai jo main bohot miss ki...

Woh hai aap aur Bhabs ke haat ke khana... I so damn miss them...

Issiliyeh jab tak main hoon, aap dono koh roz roz mujhe acche acche khana banake khilana hoga...' Nikki said as she drop her body on the couch pulling Ananya with her and lying with her head on Ananya lap...

Others also seat while Riddhima got to get water for them... Ananya smile hearing Nikki words and when Nikki laid with her head on her lap, Ananya started to care her hair softly...

'Aise toh tum bohot jaldi moti hogi Niks... Roz roz Mom aur Riddhi ki haat ka khana khake...' Armaan said...

'Haan toh koi problem nehi hai.. Main workout karke burn karlungi fats...' Nikki said...

'What, tum workout bhi karte ho...' Armaan asked...

'Common bhai... Jogging toh main ab roz karti hoon...' Nikki said...

'Wow, thats something new...' Armaan said...

'Yeah, but it feels so good to go jogging early in the morning... Dad, aap bhi kal se meri saat chalna...' Nikki said looking at Billy...

'Woh nehi jaaenge... Usko doctor ne kaha din main ek gante tak walk pe chale lekin doh din gaye phirse lazy hogaye...' Ananya said...

'Haan toh tum bhi chalo mere saat, phir main bhi roz jaaunga... Akele jaane main maza kiya hai...' Billy said...

'Dad is right Mom... Waise Mom koh walking and jogging pe jaane ki jarurat toh nehi lekin Mom, it would be good for ur health...' Nikki said...

'I know Nikki, lekin pehle tere Dad koh uta paunga toh chalenge na walk pe...' Ananya said...

'Don't worry Mom, ab main aagayi hoon na... Main sabko uta dungi subah subah...' Nikki said...

'Aur woh kaise Niks...' Armaan asked...

'Woh toh aapko kal pata chalega Bhai...' Nikki said...

Just then Riddhima came and she asked them to get freshen up as lunch was ready now... Nikki was the first one to run towards her room and Armaan follow her as he was taking her bags to the room... Riddhima also help Armaan with her bags... Billy went to freshen up too...

Nikki enter her room and she was surprise to see everything in their places... She smile seeing the little change in her room but it was just as smiliar when she left five months ago... Nikki knows how must have done all this for her and when she heard footsteps, Nikki turn around and seeing Riddhima coming with Armaan, she move towards her hugging her...

Riddhima and Armaan were shocked with Nikki sudden hug but Riddhima understood why she was hugging her all of the sudden... Armaan kept the bags in corner of the room and look around to see Riddhima had done a good job... Armaan knows how much affect Riddhima put to clean this place as Nikki has left so much back here...

'Thank u so much Bhabs... Thanks Bhai... I know aap dono ne mere liyeh woh teddies laya hai...

And Bhabs, thanks for cleaning everything...I know I m so messy but still aapne mere room koh itni acchi tarahse sambhala...' Nikki said...

'Niks, yeh kuch bhi nehi hai... Aur tumhe pata haina how much we love u and miss u having around...' Riddhima said..

'I know Bhabs... Even I miss u and love u all a lot...' Nikki said...

'Chalo, tum jaldi se fresh hojao.. Phir hum saat main khana khaenge...' Riddhima said...

'Waise bhabs, mujhe aapse bohot saari baat karni hai...' Nikki said...

'I know Niks... Lekin baate toh baat main bhi ho sakti hai right... Pehle tum fresh hojao...

Lunch ke baad we can talk as much as u want...' Riddhima said...

Nikki kiss Riddhima cheeks and got her cloths and run into washroom... Riddhima and Armaan smile seeing her action... When Nikki went to get freshen up Armaan pull Riddhima with him towards their room... Riddhima was wondering what has gotten in to his all of sudden...

As they enter the room, Armaan close the door and hugs Riddhima... Riddhima hugs him back still wondering why Armaan was getting all lovy dovy with her suddenly...

'Thanks...' Armaan whisper in Riddhima ears...

'U r not welcome...' Riddhima said giggling...

Armaan move out from the hug looking at Riddhima... Riddhima move out from Armaan hold towards the wardrobe to get cloth for Armaan knowing he wanted to change it... Armaan move behind her and seeing her taking cloths for him, he stop her... Riddhima look at him asking what happen..

'May I ask why I m not welcome...' Armaan asked...

'Because its not only ur family Armaan... Its our family means I have all the right to do anything which makes them happy...' Riddhima said...

'Oh like that...' Armaan ask again hugging her...

'Chodo Armaan... Go and fresh up, then we will have lunch...' Riddhima said...

'Haan toh chalengi na.. Pata hai maine apne Jaan koh kitna miss kiya...

Lekin usko toh mere fikar hi nehi hai...' Armaan said...

'Accha...' Riddhima asked...

'Aur nehi toh kiya... Aaj toh mere utne se pehle tum utgaye aur mujhe morning kiss bhi nehi diya abhi tak...' Armaan said with a cute pout...

'Pata hai tum bacche ho Armaan...' Riddhima said pinching his cheeks...

'Haan toh tumhari baccha hoon... Chalo ab jaldi se mujhe ek kiss doh...' Armaan said leaning towards her sealing her lips with his...

Armaan and Riddhima was kissing each other... Armaan hands were around Riddhima waist as Riddhima hands move on Armaan neck while one hand on his hair ruffling it softly asked him to continue... Armaan deep the kiss as he bit her lower lip asking her for entrance... Riddhima parted her lips letting Armaan tongue move inside her mouth as they deep the kiss...

Armaan and Riddhima break the kiss as they were out of breath, resting each other forehead against...

'I love u...' Armaan whisper close to Riddhima lips...

'I love u too...' Riddhima said as her cheeks were slightly red due to the moment they spend...

SOMEWHERE

Room was decorated with white color... Everything around was white but every walls were cover with photoframe of one person... Everything was neatly place in there places and silent were around the place as if no one ever comes there... The Silent were broken as the door open as a girl move inside the room...

She was wearing a short dress with high heels with her hair left open on her back... She throw her bag on the bed as she moves towards the photos which was hanging around the walls... Girl move her hands in the photoframe as she move her hands it was show clearly the guy in the photo...

'Armaan Mallik, bohot din se maine koshish ki tumhe bhulne ki lekin... Main nehi bhul paayi tumhe...

Yeh jaanta hoon tum kissi aur ki pati ho ab lekin, main bhi tumse bohot zyada pyar karti hoon yeh jaante huve bhi tum mujhse kabhi pyar nehi kar sakte...

Lekin kiya kare Armaan, main toh tumse beinthihaa pyar karti hoon... Aur tumhe haasil karne ke liyeh main waapas aayi hoon Armaan... Kash maine pehle tumhe apni dil ki baat bata diya hota lekin tab mujhe himmat nehi huvi... Ab hai, ab main tumhe apna bana ke rahungi... Tum mujhe nehi milsakte toh toh kissi aur ka bhi nehi ho sakte...

Pata hai, aaj main tumhe itni din baad dekha... Tum abhi bhi waise ke waise ho... Handsome, dashing and not to forget hot... Aur koan nehi chaahenge tumhe paana...

Ab main aur inthizaar nehi kar sakte... Main tumhe hasil karungi Armaan... Main tumhare bina nehi rehsakte.. Ab aur nehi...' Girl said as she move close to the picture and kissing it leaving her lipstick mark on Armaan picture...

MALLIK MANSION

Mallik hangouts with Nikki whole day in house... As Nikki didn't want to go out, they were in house talking and catching up with each other... After dinner, they again was back in the hall talking for another three hours... When the clock announce it was 12, Billy and Ananya went to sleep wishing them goodnight...

Armaan got a call from Atul so he went to talk with him... As Nikki got the chance to confront Riddhima alone, she drag Riddhima to her room as she laid asking Riddhima to joins her...

'So tell me Bhabs... Mujhe pata hai Bhai ne aapke liyeh ek surprise diya Anniversary main..

I want every detail please please please...' Nikki said...

'Niks, kuch special nehi hai...' Riddhima said knowing Nikki would be asking this...

Nikki look towards Riddhima and saw her cheeks turning red... Nikki knows she was not comfortable telling her but she wants to know everything...

'Common Bhabs... U can tell me... Mujhse kiya sharmana...

At least yet toh batao kaise surprise di bhai ne... U can skip the other details... Please please plase...' Nikki said...

Riddhima look towards Nikki knowing she wouldn't be stopping with her questions unless she didn't tell her... But when Riddhima think about that night, Riddhima felt her cheeks hot making it color change... Soon Riddhima was lost at the night she celebrate their first anniversary which was another blessing night in her life...

FLASHBACK START

Armaan and Riddhima were working late in the office... Armaan had to complete a project and Riddhima didn't want to leave him alone and thought to help him.. Also Riddhima got some design to complete so helping Armaan for another two hours after working time, Riddhima was in her cabin doing work when Armaan bang in making Riddhima startled...

'Armaan...' Riddhima said as she put her hand on her chest as her heartbeat got fast...

'Sorry, I didn't mean to scared u... But tumne time dekha Jaan...

Its going to be 12 and I m damn hungry... Chalo chalte hai ab... Baaki kaam hum kal karenge...' Armaan said...

'Haan toh maine kab mana kiya... Chalo...' Riddhima said as she collect her purse and mobile...

Soon Armaan and Riddhima were out from the office and Armaan was driving... Riddhima didn't ask Armaan where they were going thinking he would want to go home at this time... But when Armaan take another turn, Riddhima look towards him waiting for him to answer her unspoken questions knowing Armaan could feel her gaze on him... But when Armaan didn't say anything, Riddhima let a breath before questioning him...

'Armaan... Kaha jaa rahe ho... Hum ghar kyun nehi jaa rahi...' Riddhima asked...

'Kyunki mujhe bohot bhuk lagi hai aur mujhe Chinese khana hai...' Armaan said with his eyes on the road...

Hearing Armaan, Riddhima knows there wouldn't be anything else to ask... How much tired both were, if Armaan wants to eat from out, she can't say anything... When Riddhima didn't asked anymore questions, Armaan was relief knowing Riddhima would be happy once they reach to the destiny...

After driving for another 20mins, Armaan stop the car near the beach... Riddhima didn't asked anything as she knows there is a Chinese restaurant after 10mins walk inside the beach where Armaan usually wants to have Chinese...

Armaan and Riddhima move inside the beach and they walk silently holding each other hands... Armaan move close to her, holding her by waist as Riddhima hands move on his waist as she took out her sandal walking on bare feet... Armaan stop and Riddhima look at him as she had been looking down to the sand all this while... Armaan smile and point something which was ahead them...

Riddhima move her gaze where Armaan was pointing and when her eyes caught what Armaan was pointing towards, Riddhima expression change to surprise... Riddhima didn't know what to say or how to react as she moves towards the table which was decorated under the tent... Candles were around the tent as dinner was ready for two...

Armaan watch Riddhima admiring the place and seeing her expression, Armaan knew Riddhima like the decoration and she must have forgotton about the date... Armaan wasn't blaming her for forgetting the date because they had been very busy...

'Armaan, yeh sab..' Riddhima asked turning around...

Armaan move towards her, pulling her in his arms... Not answering her, Armaan seals her lips kissing her softly... Riddhima respond him and smile to the kiss...

'Happy Anniversary...' Armaan whisper as they break the kiss...

'Tumhe yaad ta...' Riddhima asked...

'Haan, Itni important day kaise bhul sakte ho Riddhi...' Armaan said as he touch his forehead against hers...

'Thank you and Sorry...' Riddhima said...

'Its okey, I don't blame... Tumhe bhulne se mera ek faida huva...' Armaan said as he move towards the table holding Riddhima hand...

'Woh kaise...' Riddhima asked...

'It was easy to bring u here without letting u know... I love ur expression when u get surprises...' Armaan said pulling chair for her...

Soon Armaan and Riddhima were enjoying their dinner and after dinner, Armaan took Riddhima for a walk... It was a beautiful night with full moon on the sky with stars twinkling around it... Two lovers were walking in the water letting the water kiss their feet... Breeze were making the atmosphere cold and Riddhima shiver when the breeze touch her bare hands... Armaan stop making Riddhima stand in front of him...

Holding Riddhima hands, Armaan kiss her hand softly making Riddhima smile... Armaan small gesture always make Riddhima feel she was the most luckiest girl in the world...

'Thank u for coming in my life Riddhi... I never knew I was so lucky until u came in my life...

U give me a reason to live and enjoy my life... Turn my life so beautiful with ur smile and unconditionable love...' Armaan said...

'Armaan, I could say the same but destiny has already written our story and we r meant to be together... Maybe it was faith that we met each other and its our choice of marrying each other... And about our love, we can help when we r crazily in love without knowing...

As much as ur life has turn beautiful with me, my life has beyond beautiful with u... I m the luckiest girl that I have a husband who loves me infinity and a family who loves me beyond limit...' Riddhima said...

Armaan took something from his pocket... Riddhima look at his close palm and Arman smile knowing she was wanting for her to open and reveal what was hidding in his palm... When Armaan didn't open his palm, Riddhima look towards him making a puppy face... Armaan smile and kiss her cheeks and then open his palm...

Riddhima put her hand on her mouth seeing the bracelet on his palm... It has two hearts attach to it with 'A' and 'R' in each heart... When Riddhima didn't say anything, Armaan make her wear it kissing her wrist...

'Armaan... Its adorable...' Riddhima said...

'Not more then my wife...' Armaan said kissing her temple...

'Thank you...' Riddhima said...

'Thanks se kaam nehi chalega...' Armaan said...

'But maine tumhare liyeh koi gifts nehi li...' Riddhima said...

'Haan toh kuch liya nehi hai toh kiya huva... Lekin tumhare paas jo hai woh toh mujhe de sakti haina...' Armaan said winking at her...

'Matlab..' Riddhima asked...

Armaan didn't say anything but lead her out from the beach and towards the car... Soon they were on the road and reach home in no time... As there was no traffic, they didn't take much time to get home... Once they were inside, Armaan carried Riddhima inside knowing everyone must be sleeping... Riddhima keep asking Armaan to let go off her but Armaan didn't...

Soon Armaan and Riddhima were in their room and Armaan let Riddhima stand on her feet as he turn and lock the door... Riddhima was surprise with Armaan act as she didn't know why Armaan was in so hurry...

'Armaan yeh...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan who move towards her closing the distance...

Riddhima knows what was going in his mind but was acting as if she don't know... Armaan thought Riddhima really didn't understand what he mean but seeing how Riddhima was trying to control her smile which was making its way on her lips, Armaan understood she was playing with him...

'Tum nehi jaante ya anjaan banne ki koshish kar rahe ho...' Armaan asked...

'Armaan main...' Riddhima try to say but she felt her cheeks burn as Armaan caught her trying to act she didn't understand the meaning of Armaan words...

Riddhima keeps taking step backwards while Armaan took the step towards her... Soon Riddhima was block with her back touching the wall as Armaan stood in front of her... Armaan put his hand on her hips making Riddhima gape...

'Ab tumne mere liyeh gift nehi laaye toh kiya huva... Jo mujhe chahiyeh, woh toh tum abhi bhi de sakte ho...' Armaan said moving his face on Riddhima neck kissing her neckline...

Riddhima smile as she close her eyes tight letting Armaan get whatever he wish to get from her as they believe that they belong to each other... As Armaan continue kissing her, Riddhima couldn't control her self for longer... Riddhima also started to respond equally...

FLASHBACK END

'Bhabsss...' Riddhima trace were broken when Riddhima shake her...

Riddhima look towards Nikki who was sitting next to her waiting for her to tell her how they celebrate their wedding anniversary... As Nikki wasn't there, Armaan and Riddhima didn't want to held any party with Nikki... Unknowingly Riddhima was playing with the bracelet Armaan had gift her...

Nikki wants for Riddhima to say something but Riddhima was lost in her thought... Nikki eyes move on her hand as she saw Riddhima playing with something on her wrist... Nikki eyes got wide seeing the bracelet and next moment Nikki hold Riddhima wrist looking close at the bracelet...

'Awww, this is so cute...Yeh aapne kab liya...' Nikki asked...

Riddhima smile seeing Nikki expression because Riddhima also react the same way when first Riddhima saw the bracelet... Riddhima couldn't help but blush thinking the moment Armaan make her wear it and kiss her wrist with so much emotion...

Seeing Riddhima blushing without any reason, Nikki understood who must have given this to her... Nikki didn't know that her brother was so fond of this kinds of things but she must agree that his choice was one of the best...

'Omg, Did bhai got this for u... As an anniversary gift...' Nikki asked caring it...

'Haan...' Riddhima said...

'Now I want to know how and where... Chalo jaldi batao nehi toh main aapko sone nehi dungi aajraat...' Nikki said...

Knowing Nikki was serious, Riddhima end up telling how they spend the anniversary night skipping the moment their share...

After talking another hour, Riddhima saw that Nikki were fighting with her sleep... Asking her to get some sleep, Riddhima wish her goodnight and kiss her forehead before moving out from the room closing the door... Riddhima went to the room to see Armaan was sleeping on his stomach after removing his shirt... He hasn't change and Riddhima thought to wake him... Riddhima move close to him but seeing how peacefully Armaan was sleeping like a cute baby, Riddhima didn't feel to wake him up...

Changing to her night cloths, Riddhima move next to him to feel Armaan moving close to him hidding his face on her neck... Riddhima smile as she felt Armaan nuzzling to find his comfortable place... Riddhima hugs Armaan as she cuddle on his chest, kissing his bare chest soflty whispering goodnight before closing her eyes to get the most beautiful and peaceful sleep in arms of her love of life...
