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

PART 75

Riddhima was giving orders to the cook and servants who was arranging for dinner... As their friends has stay back, Riddhima wanted to make dinner by herself but due to the incident took place as unexpected time and Armaan being guilt for the happening Riddhima got late while making him free from those guilt to make dinner...

Now she was ordering while she move one place to another supervising over the dishes knowing any time others must be coming for dinner.. Riddhima didn't want them to wait, specially Anjali being pregnant she was making sure that they cook something Anjali would like...

Riddhima has change to a light yellow saree, her hair was pull up to a messy bun with hairs falling on her forehead hiding sindoor... Riddhima didn't get time to get ready more then this, so without putting eyeliner and lip-gloss or any jewelry Riddhima rush out from the room to get the dinner ready...

'Kaka, aap table set kardo... Sab kuch hogaya...' Riddhima said seeing Kaka who enter the kitchen...

'Bitiya, woh toh hogaye... Main bas dinner laga deta hoon...' Kaka said...

'Tik hai Kaka, main bas yeh soup bana deti hoon...' Riddhima said as she mixed the chops vegetables...

Dinner was almost ready by the time others came out from their respective rooms... Kaka was arranging dishes and not seeing Riddhima or Armaan anywhere, they was wondering if they would come down to have dinner or not...

'Aao aao bacchon... Riddhima bitiya bas abhi aa rahi hai, woh soup bana rahi hai Anjali bitiya ke liyeh...' Kaka said seeing they stood thinking if they should have dinner or not without Armaan and Riddhima...

'Armaan kaha hai Kaka...' Rahul asked as they took seat...

'Woh apne kamre mein hai shayad... Aata hi hogaya...' Kaka said trying to serve them...

'Kaka, hum le lenge...' Sapna said stopping Kaka from serving...

'Haan Kaka, humhara hi ghar haina... Hum tohdina guest hai...' Muskaan said...

'Tik hai bitiya, kuch chahiyeh toh awaz dena...' Kaka said moving towards the kitchen...

After sometimes, Riddhima came out holding a bowl of soup for Anjali... Anjali was sipping juice as she have soup for dinner as she don't feel to have anything heavy... Riddhima smile seeing everyone attacking the food, she look around to see Armaan absent from his place...

'Armaan kaha hai...' Riddhima asked keeping the bowl in front of Anjali...

'Kaka ne bataya woh kamre mein hoga...' Atul said...

'Main bhulakar aati hoon...' Riddhima said...

Before Riddhima could move, Anjali hold her wrist stopping her... Riddhima was surprise when Anjali stop her, she ask through her eyes what happen... Anjali stood up holding Riddhima one hand like sandwich with her both hand...

'Ridzy, maybe Armaan didn't want to come in front of us after what happen...' Anjali said...

'Di, aisi koi baat nehi hai... Jab uska koi galati nehi hai toh woh aap sabke saamne kyun nehi aayenge...' Riddhima said...

'Hum jaante hai Armaan tumhe kabhi dokha dene ke baare mein soch bhi nehi sakte... Na kissi aur ladke koh khud ke paas aane... Lekin jo huva, uske wajahse woh comfortable na ho...' Anjali said...

'Anjie is right Ridz... Hum jaante hai hero tumse kitna pyar karte hai...

Lekin aaj us chudail ke wajahse, hum sabke saamne uska bohot insult huva hai...' Muskaan said...

'Raina ne jo bhi kiya, bohot galat hai...' Sapna said...

'Wohi toh, galati Raina ne kiya hai... Toh Armaan kyun khud koh tum sabse chupake rakhenge... Jabse Raina aayi hai humhare life mein, mujhe pehle din se pata ta woh Armaan koh chaahti hai... Lekin mujhe Armaan pe barosa hai woh kabhi kissi aur ladki koh aise nazar se nehi dekhenge...

Jitna Raina ne Armaan ke paas aane ki koshish ki, Armaan ne kabhi usse line cross karne ka moka nehi diya... Raina ne bohot soch samajh ke yeh chaal chali hai taaki mein Armaan pe shak karun... Aap sabne suna na maine Raina se kiya kaha and I mean it...

Mujhe apni Armaan pe pura yakeen hai, issiliyeh Armaan koh kissi se chupne ki zarurat nehi hai... Raina jo chaahti hai woh kabhi nehi ho sakte... Kyunki Armaan usse nehi, mujhse pyar karta hai aur main uska patni hoon... Main woh ladki hoon jo Armaan apna pura zindagi bitana chaahte hai...' Riddhima said...

'U r truly a gem Riddhima, Armaan is a lucky guy to have someone like you as his wife...' Rahul said...

'Sahi kaha Rahul, Armaan is indeed very lucky to have my sister in law kum sister in his life... The guy who never think about a girl before in his life, with one meeting with his dream girl... Usne toh Ridz ke baare mein kuch bhi na jaante huve apne dil de diya aur yeh bhi decide karliya woh shaadi karke apne zindagi guzarenge toh sirf Riddhima ke saat, kissi aur saat nehi...' Atul said...

'Toh aap sab maante haina, jo bhi huva usmein Armaan ke koi galati nehi hai... Meri aap sabse request hai, woh baat bhuljae aur lets enjoy... After all aaj holi hai...' Riddhima said giving her best smile to them...

Everyone agree knowing it was no used to drag the matter or talk about it when Riddhima has handle everything... They were happy to see how Riddhima was handling everything... If she request to forget about it, its because she don't want either of parents to know about it...

How Raina try to break her relation with Armaan, Riddhima would never want anyone to hate Raina... Riddhima wouldn't welcome Raina in her house after today that was for sure and they know Riddhima would handle any situation which come their way without letting anyone else know about the happening so no one point finger to her Armaan...

AR ROOM

Armaan was sitting on the bed, holding towel as he dry his hair lost in his thought... The moment he share with Riddhima a while ago was so blissful, Riddhima always make him feel bless with her but there was something about the way she make love to him tonight...

Armaan knows because of his guilt for not understanding Raina intention and letting she get so close, let her touch him was the reason why Riddhima make those moment special to him just to tell him he only belongs to her no one else...

Still somewhere in his heart, the guilt was there for not believing what Riddhima has been telling him from the first time Raina has come back to their life... Armaan didn't feel so bad for Raina playing such a game but for not believing and listen to what Riddhima has been telling him, he feel for the first time in their relation how wrong he was thinking Riddhima was being a possessive wife without reason...

Today, Armaan realized why Riddhima has been giving him those words which might be warning to any guy but for him, it was just words as he never think Riddhima would be jealous of any girl sharing a friendly zone with him in work...

While Armaan was busy in his thought, Riddhima came to call him for dinner... Seeing Armaan lost, Riddhima understood what Armaan must be thinking... Riddhima knows guilt was eating up him for not listening to him but she didn't him for that, maybe someone else who was in his place do the same if the other person was a good friend...

'Armaan, kiya kar rahe ho... Dinner nehi karna kiya, mujhe toh bohot bhuk lagi hai... Sab tumhara inthizaar ka rahe hai...' Riddhima said moving inside...

'Hah...' Armaan was brought back to the world with Riddhima sudden voice...

'Armaan, kitni baar kaha tumse acche se dry karo hair... Lekin nehi, tum mer baat sunta nehi ho...' Riddhima said taking the towel and drying his hair...

Armaan sit like that as Riddhima stood in between his leg drying his hair... Armaan put his hands on her hips holding her close while Riddhima dry his hair... When Armaan didn't say a word, Riddhima knows she has to talk with him... She was not liking this quiet Armaan at all...

'Armaan, main jaanti hoon tum kiya soch rahe ho... Main yeh bhi jaanti hoon tum guilty feel kar rahe ho kyunki tumne meri baat koh seriously nehi li...' Riddhima said cupping his face making him look at her...

'Riddhi...' Armaan was cut by Riddhima...

'Armaan, galati tumhara nehi hai... Main jaanti hoon meri Armaan ka dil kitna saaf hai, woh kitna accha hai... Lekin har koi meri Armaan ke tarah toh nehi haina... Woh kissi ki zindagi barbaad karne ke baare mein kabhi sochenge nehi, kissi ki khushi cheene ki khayal bhi nhi aate... Issiliyeh woh yeh nehi sochte is dhuniyamein log aisa bhi hai apne khushi ke liye, apne pasand ke liyeh, apne zidd ke liyeh dhusron koh dard dene ki saadizh kare...

Tum kyun guilty feel kar rahe ho ab Armaan, maine tumhe jo bhi huva us sabki dhoshi nehi maanti... Kyunki main jaanti hoon, meri Armaan ke dil kitni saaf hai aur woh kissi se pyar karte hai ya kissi koh chaahte hai woh toh sirf main hoon...

Waise bhi aaj holi hai, jo bhi huva shayad acche ke liyeh huva... Bhagwaan yeh chahta hoga tumhe aajke din Raina ke sacchai pata chale... Bhagwaan jo bhi karta hai, waqt aane pe karte hai... Issiliyeh tum ab usbaare mein sochna banda karo... Humein aur bhi bohot zaruri kaam hai sochne ke liyeh...' Riddhima said smiling touching her forehead against his...

'Jaise, jo abhi hum tohdi der pehle kiya woh...' Armaan asked smiling naughtily after hearing Riddhima words knowing how she was trying to not bring the incident again as now it was an end chapter for them...

'tch, tumhe hamesha romance hi sujhta haina... Woh toh itna bhi zaruri nehi hai abhi, kyunki abhi humein dinner karne jaana hai... Sab inthizaar kar rahi hai aur bhulo mat humhare dost ke shaadi bhi kuch hafte mein hone wala hai issiliyeh bohot tayyari karni hai...

Dhulha aur Dhulhan ki kapde toh maine design kardiya lekin uske kaam bhi mujhse karwana hai tailor se... Aur shopping bhi toh complete karni hai jaane se pehle... Tum toh apne project mein itni busy hogaye humhare saat shopping pe bhi nehi gaye...' Riddhima said...

'Ab toh project khatam hogayi na, jab tum kahe main tumhe shopping pe lejaunga... Aapki hukum sar aankhon pe..' Armaan said hugging her hiding his face on her stomach...

'Accha abhi chalo, nehi toh sab yaha aajaenge... Waise bhi di koh zyada waqt inthizaar karwana tik nehi hogi... Aur tum jaante ho na humhare bina woh log shuru nehi karenge...' Riddhima said moving out from his hold...

While Armaan put his shirt on, Riddhima went near the mirror and comb her hair putting it neatly into a bun... When Riddhima was ready, they went downstairs to joins their friends... As Riddhima has said, they was waiting for them and seeing them coming smiling and holding hands they understood Armaan was in good mood...

Soon they were having dinner, talking about Rahul and Muskaan wedding preparation and shopping... Also they plan another shopping day in Mall before they leave to Patiala and this time they order their husbands and to be husband to accompany them...

After pulling each other legs, teasing and having some seriously talk, they all retire to their respective rooms around 11 pm as everyone was tired after the happening day... Riddhima and Armaan didn't let them go saying they could go at morning after breakfast... They all return to their room with smiles on their face thinking about the coming event as their two friends were going to tied knot making official their relation by being husband wife...

THREE DAYS LATER

Forgetting about Raina, everyone got busy with their work as they have to wind up in a week and leave to patiala for Rahul and Muskaan wedding... As function would be starting a week before the marriage, now everyone was having a busy week so they could enjoy their friends wedding...

Armaan and Riddhima as usual go to office together and come back late at night... They has to face Raina due to the last work on their project and Armaan was glad it came to an end... As everything was settle with their project with Raina company, Armaan and other staff bid bye to them soon...

Riddhima was glad that Raina didn't try anything else to create fuss between them but she has a feeling that Raina would do something as she was not a person to let go something if she needs it badly... Even Armaan was thinking the same but he didn't say anything because he was happy to be with his Riddhima...

So as they decided, today taking a half day from work, Riddhima and Armaan joins others for last minute shopping as in two days they have to leave to Patiala... Muskaan and Rahul dresses were completed, they had come to check the fitting so if they need to do any changes, Riddhima could do it in two days...

Everyone reach to the mall as they decided on time not waiting to hear earful of words from their respective partners for getting them late... Armaan was parking the car as Riddhima waited for him, others were waiting for them in the entrance of the mall as they still have five minutes before the time they had fixed to meet...

Riddhima was standing a little away from their car as she was busy in her mobile checking something related to her new design in net... She was so lost that she didn't realized she was standing in the middle of the path as one car came speedily towards her...

Armaan who turn towards Riddhima saw the car coming speedily towards Riddhima who was unaware and busy in her mobile.. Before the car hit Riddhima, Armaan pull her towards him hugging her as he saw the person in the car... Riddhima was surprise with Armaan sudden pull and look his face to see, him looking her behind...

Riddhima turn around to see a car rush out from the parking area, Riddhima look at Armaan who was still looking at the direction where the car went... Armaan was still holding her tightly, as he witness death so close to the person who he loves the most in his life...

'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name when Armaan didn't leave her...

Armaan look at her hearing her calling him, not waiting he just hug her trying to believe that she is all well and with him.. Riddhima rubbed Armaan back understanding how he must be feeling... If she was in his place, maybe she would feel the way Armaan must be feeling now...

'Armaan, main tik hoon...' Riddhima said when Armaan didn't leave her...

'Mujhe pata ta, Raina aise chup nehi betenge...' Armaan said still hugging her...

Hearing Raina name from Armaan mouth, Riddhima break the hug looking at him with questions in her eyes... Armaan was still holding her not waiting to leave her thinking someone again try to hurt his Riddhima... Seeing Riddhima question eyes, Armaan knew she has no clue who just try to hurt her...

'Riddhi, woh car mein Raina ti...' Armaan said cupping her face...

Riddhima wasn't surprise to hear this as she felt in somewhere that Raina would try to hurt her knowing that she can't create misunderstanding between her and Armaan... Seeing how scared Armaan was to see anything might happen to her, Riddhima hold his hand which was on her cheeks...

'Armaan, jab tum meri saat ho toh koi mujhe hurt nehi kar sakte, na humein alag kar sakte hai...' Riddhima said...

'Ab mein Raina pe barosa nehi kar sakte Riddhi, usne humhare beech galat fehmi padai karne ki koshish ki... Aur jab woh nehi huva, aaj tumhe maarne ki... Kyunki woh jaante hai hum dono koh alag karna itna asaan nehi hai...' Armaan said...

'Maine kab kaha uspe barosa karo, main bhi toh nehi karti pehle din se... Main bas itna keh rahi hoon jab tum meri saat ho toh koi humein alag nehi kar sakte na mujhe hurt kar sakte hai...' Riddhima said...

Before Armaan could say anything, his mobile started to ring breaking them move apart... Armaan hold Riddhima close to him as they move towards the mall knowing it was one of their friends calling because they are late... Riddhima didn't try to move away knowing Armaan is feeling insecure to let go off her as his hold was a little tight then usual...

Armaan answer the call telling they have reach and was not able to find a parking as it was almost full... They buy his excuse as they were already in the mall area, so they wouldn't be taking much time to joins them... When Armaan and Riddhima reach, their friends were about to shoot with questions when Riddhima stop them through her eyes and shaking her head as no giving clue them that it was not right time to question...

Understanding something must have happen seeing Armaan face expression and color drain as worried lines were visible in his forehead... So not asking any questions, they move inside to get started with their shopping... Shopping for two hours, girls tell boys to get something to eat while they go to one last shop...

Armaan wasn't ready to leave Riddhima but Riddhima whisper something on his ear and make a cute face to which Armaan agree to let go off her for just few minutes as Riddhima promise they would join them as soon as finished purchasing items in that particular shop...

When the guys left to the near by restaurant to order foods for them, girls went to the lingerie shop as they wanted get something hot and sexy for Muskaan on her wedding... Also they all wanted to purchase lingerie and they didn't want to take their husband and to be husband with them in such place knowing how wild their imagination would be seeing those staff in shop...

'So Ridzy, kiya huva... Hero itna chipak kyun raha ta aaj...' Muskaan asked...

'Armaan toh hamesha aise hi hai, moka milte hi apne Riddhi se chipak te hai...' Anjali said...

'Aisa nehi hai Di, shayad aaj jo meri saat huva woh aap log mein se kissi ke saat huva ho ti toh tum log ke partners bhi aise hi chipkenge...' Riddhima said as they were looking lingerie...

'Ab kiya huva, kahin Raina ne kuch...' Sapna asked guessing it might be related to Raina...

'Haan, Raina ne mujhe maarne ki koshish ki...' Riddhima said facing at them...

'What, tu tik haina Ridzy...' Anjali said getting worried and checking Riddhima body if she got hurt...

'Di, relax... Main tik hoon, Armaan ne sahi waqt pe bacha liya...' Riddhima said...

'Lekin tumhe kaise pata Raina ne...' Muskaan asked...

Riddhima tell them what happen and Armaan has seen the person in the car... Girls were feeling bad for Armaan and Riddhima as Raina was after them... Riddhima tell them not to worry and if Raina try to do something next time, she will make sure Raina get punished for her deeds...

Soon they got busy with their last shopping when Riddhima got a msg from Armaan asking how long they would take as foods will be serve soon... Understanding now why Armaan was being insecure, everyone did their shopping as fast as they could and went to joins their respective partners...

IN RESTAURANT

Everyone was talking about Rahul and Muskaan wedding after ordering their food as they wait for it and their respective partners... Armaan was not talking must as his eyes keep moving to the entrance of the restaurant as he wait for Riddhima...

Seeing Armaan not interest in their talk and looking towards the entrance they were thinking what happen to him as he has been very quiet whole day... They knew something has happen, if not Armaan wouldn't be so silent...

They was thinking to ask or not but seeing Armaan lost and not enjoying at all it was Atul who ask him breaking his trace that what happen... First Armaan wasn't ready to split the beans but Rahul blackmail him knowing it was the only way Armaan would tell them...

'Raina try to kill Riddhima...' Armaan said making them shocked...

'Raina koan???' Amit asked who was unaware of the incident happen in Holi...

Rahul tell a brief introduction about Raina which was enough for the moment as they don't have all day to talk about Raina... When they give Amit enough information about Raina, they continue asking why he think Raina try to kill Riddhima...

When Armaan tell them what happen in the parking and he saw Raina in the car, everyone was shocked and not able to say anything... They thought after insult her like that, she would not dare to do anything but they were wrong...

'Uski itni himmat...' Atul asked...

'Isse yeh pata chalta hai Raina koh kissi bhi haalat mein Armaan chahiyeh...' Rahul said...

'I agree with Rahul, nehi toh woh ek baar na kaamiyab hote toh isbaar Riddhima koh marne ki koshish nehi karte...' Amit said...

'Armaan, I think tumhe police koh inform karna chahiyeh... We can't take any risk, Raina bohot dangerous ho sakti hai...' Atul said...

'Possessive lover, jo kissi koh hasil karne ke liyeh kissi koh mar bhi sakte hai...' Amit said...

'Haan, I agree with Atul and Amit...

Armaan, police ki madat toh le sakti haina... Abhi humhare paas prove nehi hai Raina ke hilaf but aise hum usse chod denge toh woh koshish karna nehi chodenge...' Rahul said...

'Main jaanta hoon... Riddhima koh koi hurt kare, main hone nehi dhunga...

Main patiala se waapas aakhe uske hilaf complain file karunga...' Armaan said...

'Tum chinta mat karo mere bhai, hum sab tumhare saat hai...

Aur main apna saali koh kuch hone nehi dunga...' Atul said hugging Armaan from side...

'Of course, hum sab tumhare saat hai Armaan... Hum Riddhima koh kuch hone nehi denge...' Rahul said...

Soon girls joins them and no one talk about what Armaan had tell the boys or Riddhima has tell the girls as they don't want to make Armaan mood off... They talk about the wedding preparation of Rahul and Muskaan, tease them and pull each other legs...

It was evening by the time they left from mall, Armaan and Riddhima went back to office as they have to collect Muskaan and Rahul cloths while others went to their house... After two days, they would be leaving to Patiala and everyone decide to meet in Atul house before they leave...

Settling everything for the journey, next two days they got busy with packing and other preparation as they wouldn't get time once they reach Patiala... Rahul and Muskaan has arrange for others stay and their parents were now waiting for them so they could get them married with their blessing...

PATIALA, PUNJAB

Gang reach patiala in afternoon and was welcome by both Rahul and Muskaan families... Soon they reach to the farmhouse where their staying arrangement was done by Rahul and Muskaan... It was not too far from Muskaan and Rahul house so they could easily reach on time whenever they held a function...

Wedding was to take place a palace and all the function would be held in Muskaan house other then Haldi as it would take place in both house so Rahul and Muskaan couldn't meet each other... In Sangeet Rahul would be invited but for mehendi and haldi he wouldn't get a chance to attend...

As Sangeet would be taking place after two days, gang got a day to roam around and enjoy the place... Muskaan parents let Muskaan stay with the gang for two days but ask her to come back home on the day of Sangeet... Gang was happy they would get sometimes to explore patiala as they had not come there before...

When they reach farmhouse, they were shown to their room... Lunch was ready for them in farmhouse but Muskaan parents invite them to have dinner with them so they could their house too... After having lunch, everyone went to their room to fresh up and rest before going out evening to look around...

While the gang was excited to explore new city, back in Mumbai Raina was getting hyper not knowing where suddenly Armaan vanished with Riddhima... Raina has been stalking them from the day Riddhima kick her out from Mallik Mansion... Raina has been looking for a moment to kill Riddhima knowing that is the only way she could get her Armaan...

When Raina plan got flop when Riddhima slap her and insult her in front of her and Armaan friends, Raina understood that Riddhima was not like others girls who would believe what she sees... Trust and Love between too strong for her to separate them...

Raina was furious to know not to get any whereabouts of Armaan and Riddhima... She didn't know suddenly they would just leave... Raina was in her room, spreading everything here and there when her person who has stalking Armaan and Riddhima from last two days as she don't want them to caught her as Armaan has seen her the time she try to kill Riddhima in the parking near the mall...

'Riddhima, tum aise mujhe meri Armaan koh dur nehi le jaa sakte... Main aisa hone nehi dungi, kyunki Armaan sirf meri hai... Itna toh mujhe yakeen hogaye tum zinda hogi toh Armaan kabhi meri nehi hoga... Armaan mujhe kissi bhi haal mein chahiyeh, aur uske liyeh mujhe tumhe maarna hogi toh main tumhe maarungi Riddhima...

Tum itni asaani se mujhse nehi bachpaenge Riddhima, us din Armaan ne tumhe bacha ya but I promise you main tumhe Armaan se alag karke rahungi... Uske liyeh mujhe kissi ki jaan leni pade toh main woh bhi karne ke liyeh tayyar hoon...' Raina said looking at Armaan pictures which was on her room wall as her reflection was on the frame showing dangerous smile on her lips...
