From The Time I Saw You - An AR FF -

Part 81

A WEEK LATER

Armaan had been staying home to take care of Riddhima as he don't want to leave her for a second... Riddhima had been asking him to go back to work as Ananya has come two days after the incident... Even Padma keep asking Armaan that she and Ananya would take care of Riddhima well enough not to let anyone harm her... Padma and Ananya knows very well Armaan was scared to let Riddhima be alone because he knows Raina could do anything to get Armaan in her life...

So along with Ananya and Padma, even Armaan was taking a good care of Riddhima... Riddhima try to talk several time about Raina as she get to know from Sapna and Anjali that Raina was still in jail... Armaan has filed case on her to attempt to murder and now the case has gone to court... Armaan wasn't ready to take Riddhima on hearing as their case were already strong and they don't need Riddhima to be present there...

Armaan wasn't ready to do anything Riddhima was asking him, it seems like he has become much more possessive about her... Riddhima knows, somewhere Armaan felt guilty because it happen because of him... If he had taken action before after several attempts of Raina to harm Riddhima, Raina wouldn't have get the gut to come their house and harm Riddhima that too present of Armaan there itself...

From a week, Riddhima had been trying to make Armaan agree to go back to work but seeing his possessiveness towards her every passing day it was making her irritate as well... Doctor has given permission her to walk as the plaster has removed but Armaan being the Armaan Mallik, wouldn't let Riddhima pressure in her leg for long time...

'Enough Armaan. bohot hogaya ab... Mujhe lagta hai tumhe ghar pe reh rehkar pagal hogaya hai...' Riddhima shouted on him when he had bring her when she was sitting in the hall with Padma and Ananya after lunch...

'But Riddhima...' Armaan was cut by Riddhima...

'But what Armaan... Ek hafte se tum ghar par ho aur kal doctor ne mujhe kaha main abhi chal sakti hoon...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan...

'Lekin zyada pressure na daalne koh bhi kaha doctor... Aur ek aur week rest karne koh bhi...' Armaan said lowering his head knowing he has make Riddhima angry with his behavior...

'Haan toh main kaha pressure daal rahi ti... Main waha beite beite rest toh kar rahi ti... Rest karne ka yeh matlab toh nehi na mujhe kamre mein aakhe rest karna hoga...' Riddhima said...

'Main toh bas...' Armaan said but was cut by Riddhima again...

'Tum toh bas kiya Armaan haan...' Riddhima said trying to control her anger...

Due to Armaan possessiveness, Riddhima felt awkward in front of her parents as well as his parents... Armaan didn't care if they are present or not but carry her from hall to room, room to hall every time... Riddhima knows Armaan loves her but also she knows that Armaan staying with her 24/7 hours was just because the fear he has in his heart...

Seeing Armaan sitting like a good boy, hearing her while she scold him Riddhima close her eyes trying to calm her raising pressure... Riddhima hide her face as she let herself calm, Armaan look towards her when she didn't say another word and seeing Riddhima sitting with her face hide he move close to her putting her hand off from her face...

'Kiya huva Riddhima...' Armaan asked looking at her...

Riddhima was feeling bad shouting at him like that, she knows he loves her a lot and he is scared of losing her as he has almost loose her in front of his eyes... That too because of some pysco girl who keep saying that she loves him crazily that she would do anything to get Armaan in her life...

Riddhima hugs him cursing herself for shouting at him like that but she still believe that Armaan was being too much possessive about her... Armaan was surprise to see this sudden action but hugs her back trying to understand what has happen to her suddenly...

A while ago, she was angry on him and shouting at him but suddenly what has got on her that she was hugging him as if her life depend on him... When Riddhima didn't say another word for sometimes, Armaan break the hug looking at her face... When Riddhima wasn't looking towards him, Armaan make her look at him asking through his eyes what happen...

'I m sorry Armaan...' Riddhima said...

'Arey, meri jhansi rani koh kiya huva... Abhi toh talvaar lekar khadi ti...' Armaan asked trying to light up the atmosphere...

'Armaan, its not funny...' Riddhima said hitting him playfully on his chest...

'Ouch, lagti hai madam...' Armaan said caring his chest where Riddhima hit on...

Riddhima gave a small smile, when it didn't reach to her eyes Armaan understood she was feeling guilty for shouting at him... Also he knows that he had been irritating her a lot from last one week being all the time with her... He didn't let her do anything the way she wants as he keeps telling her what to do, when to do and not to do...

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

'Armaan, I know you care about me but don't you think u r being over possessive...' Riddhima asked him...

'Haan woh tohda...' Armaan was again cut by Riddhima...

'Tohda...???' Riddhima asked as if saying 'are you kidding me...'

'I mean fine bohot zyada possessive hoon but u know the reason right...' Armaan asked...

Riddhima hold Armaan hand in her palm, Armaan put his free hand over their hand... Riddhima knows, it was the time that they should talk about the matter again... As Armaan wasn't ready to talk about it before but today when he didn't leave like he had been doing from last two three days, Riddhima thought this can't wait anymore...

'Armaan, jo hogaya so hogaya... Abhi Raina jail mein hai aur woh mujhe kuch bhi nehi kar sakte...' Riddhima said...

'Nehi Riddhima, jo ladki tumhe khud maarne ke liyeh yaha tak poch sakte hai, woh kuch bhi kar sakte hai...' Armaan said...

'Lekin...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan...

'Nehi Riddhima, I m sorry maine pehle action nehi Raina ke khilaf... Tum kehti rahi, maine khud bhi dekha Raina kaise tumhe harm karne ki koshish kar raha ta... Woh kabhi koi moka nehi chod sakte, woh asaad ho ya waha band kyun na ho... She is a powerful woman...

Aur us din maine uske pagalpan bhi dekha hai Riddhima... Woh apni pyar haasil karne ke liye kuch bhi kar sakte hai... Aur uska pehla target tum ho... Main ab koi risk nehi le sakte Riddhima, maine tumhe apni aankhon ke saamne pada huva dekha hai lifelessly... Tab mujhe kiya feel huva, koi nehi mehsoos kar sakte...' Armaan said as he left her hand and putting his head on her lap...

'Main jaanti hoon Armaan yeh baat koi nehi samajh sakte lekin tumhari over protect hone se kuch nehi ho sakte... Tum kab tak mere saath, ghar pe apne kaam chodkar rahenge... Armaan, itna toh mujhe pakka yakeen hai tumhare hote huve mujhe kuch bhi nehi ho sakte... Kyunki tum mujhe kuch hone hi nehi denge... Lekin tumhare is dar ke wajahse tum baaki sab kaam ignore toh nehi kar sakte na...' Riddhima said...

'Riddhima main...' Armaan was cut by Riddhima...

'Armaan, woh log Raina koh itni jaldi nehi chodenge... Aur rahi baat koi aur tarah Raina mujhe harm kare, woh ho bhi jae toh tum hona meri saath hamesha... Bas kuch din ki baat hai Armaan, phir main waapas tumhare saath office jaungi... Lekin tab tak ma aur mom haina meri khayal rakhne ke liye...' Riddhima said as she rest her head over Armaan's head...

'Phir bhi...' Armaan was cut by Riddhima again...

'Armaan, Raina koh jo karna hai woh tum meri saath ho ya na ho woh karenge... Lekin kissi dar ke khaaran hum jeena toh nehi chod sakte na... Zindagi mein kabhi aisa mod aate hai jo humhe mushkil mein guzarna padta hai... Hamesha acche acche zindagi nehi guzarte, uspe ups and downs aati hai jo humein saamna karna padta hai...

Kiya tumne kabhi socha hum kabhi milenge...??? Nehi na, phir bhi dekho god ki marzi... Woh humein mila diya, aur uske wajahse aaj hum saath hai... Armaan, yeh pehli baar toh humhare saath nehi huva na... Tumhe yaad haina shaadi ke pehle bhi...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan this time...

'Woh bhi mere wajahse huva, mere wajahse tumhe kitna takleef milti hai...' Armaan said...

'Phir se wohi baat Armaan... Koi bhi problem tumhare wajahse nehi huva... Jo humhare zindagi main hona likha hoga, woh hojate hai... Lekin galat hone ke dar se hum chup toh nehi beit sakte na...' Riddhima said...

'Hmm, tik hai...' Armaan said...

'Kiya tik hai...???' Riddhima asked...

'I agree tum jo bhi keh rahi ho woh sahi hai Riddhima, lekin mujhe bhi toh mere patni ke saath waqt bitane ka waqt milna chahiyeh na...' Armaan said hugging her waist...

'Toh ek hafte se aap ghar pe kiya kar raha ta...???' Riddhima said...

'Kiya karun biwi, aap itni khubsurat hai... Mera mann nehi karta aapko chodke jaane ka...' Armaan said kissing her belly...

'Kuch bhi Armaan... Yeh koi reason nehi hote samjhe tum... Tum kahin pe bhi jao, waapas toh meri paas hi aana haina...' Riddhima said kissing his ear...

'Ab tum itna pyar karenge toh main kaise tumhe ek second ke liye bhi chod dun...' Armaan asked hiding his face on her belly...

'Pyar toh kaam se aane ke baad bhi ho sakte hai Armaan, tum bahana mat banao... Kaam chor hogaye ho tum...' Riddhima said sitting proper...

'Accha ji, main kham chor... Abhi dikhata hoon tumhe...' Armaan said looking up at her...

Next second, Armaan started to tickle her and Riddhima was pleading him to let her go... Both fall on the bed and Riddhima was under him while Armaan try to keep himself off from her as he don't want to put his pressure on Riddhima as just a day ago the plaster was removed...

'Ar...maan... bas... pl...ease...' Riddhima said trying to control her breath and fast heart beat...

Seeing Riddhima was out of breath, Armaan let go off her... He laid next to her as both laid facing the ceiling... Armaan look towards Riddhima who was laying with her eyes closed, her chest was rising and sinking while a smile was adoring on her lips... Feeling Armaan gaze, Riddhima look towards him and her smile got wide seeing the unconditional love in his eyes for her...

Smile got on Armaan face as well seeing Riddhima's smile reaching to her eyes... Armaan pull Riddhima over him holding her close by her waist... Riddhima kiss his dimple which was dig in his cheeks... With Riddhima action, Armaan smile got wide... He pull her close to him as much as he can, now Riddhima face was inch away from his face...

Both was staring at each other, trying to believe how they got so lucky to have each other in their life... It's true they had to face hard moment but they always make sure that they stood by each other till the problem leave from their life... Armaan hold back of Riddhima head and move her face close to him... Riddhima eyes got closed very well understanding what Armaan was going to do...

Armaan smile seeing how his one touch can affect her as he felt Riddhima shiver feeling their breath mingle with each other breath... Her heart was beating faster against her rib cage, her hold on his shirt got tight but her lips got parted welcoming him to claim her as his... Not wasting another second, Armaan claim Riddhima rosy lips taking to her another world with him, to their dream world, where no one can reach other than them...

NEXT DAY

Riddhima sleep was disturb hearing moments around the room, she open her eyes adjusting it to the light which was coming through the window... Curtains were open but the door was still close... Riddhima who was sleepy close her eyes and turn on Armaan side but not feeling him she difficutly open her eyes... Riddhima look around the room when her eyes stop on Armaan who was standing in front of the mirror all set to go for work...

Riddhima smile seeing how Armaan got ready without disturbing her, she knows very well that why he didn't wake her up... Still Riddhima was in her medicine, thats the reason Armaan didn't bother to disturb her sleep... Armaan was almost ready but not wearing the tie, Riddhima sit looking around the room when her eyes fall on the tie which was on the bed...

Armaan was unaware that Riddhima had woken, so he was busy making his hair when suddenly he felt two hands around his waist... Smile form in his lips knowing it was Riddhima, he kept his brush and turn around facing her... Armaan cup his face and kiss her forehead making Riddhima smile... Riddhima hugs him, hiding her face on his chest...

'Good morning wify...' Armaan said kissing her messy hair...

'Morning, mujhe bina mile jaa raha ta...' Riddhima asked him still hugging him...

'Tum so rahi ti issiliyeh utane ka mann nehi kiya...' Armaan said breaking the hug and cupping her face...

'Very bad, phir mujhe tumhe dekhne ke liye shaam tak inthizaar karna padta na...' Riddhima said making a sad expression...

'Aise kaise main chala jaata bina mile, main bas tayyar hokar tumhe utane wali ti...' Armaan said...

'Jhut, pakka meri sewa karte karte tak gaya hoga... Issiliyeh chupke se nikal raha ta...' Riddhima said...

'Ab yeh baat toh bilkul sahi nehi hai... Sirf tumhari wajahse main waapas kaam pe jaa raha hoon... Nehi toh maine socha, jab tak tum tik nehi hote main bhi tohda ghar pe araam karlun tumhare saath...' Armaan said touching his forehead against her...

'Jaanti hoon, lekin ab bohot hogaya tumhara araam karna... Tum khud araam karta nehi, aur mujhe bhi chain se beitne nehi dete...' Riddhima said playing with his shirt button...

'Accha madam, main aapko chain se beite nehi deti ya aapko chain se beita nehi jaata...' Armaan asked...

Riddhima bit her lips very well knowing Armaan was telling the truth, it was her who can't sit in one place... When Armaan didn't let Riddhima walk here and there, Riddhima sit making faces which Armaan didn't like so he carry her every where she wants so she wouldn't put pressure on her leg... Armaan smile seeing her expression and gave a tight kiss on her lips... Riddhima smile with his action, Armaan check the time and Riddhima make a sad face knowing he had to leave in a while...

Seeing Riddhima making sad expression, Armaan copy her expression but she didn't smile seeing it like she usually do when Armaan copy her actions... Armaan shake his head as if asking 'not happy', Riddhima didn't answer him but hugs him... Armaan also hugs her back, caring her hair...

'Jaan, main shaam koh jaldi waapas aaunga... Aur tum jab chaaho mujhe call kar sakte haina...' Armaan said...

'Hmm...' Riddhima said not being happy to let him go...

'Ab tum aisa karongi toh main ja nehi paunga... Phir mat kehna main yaha rehkar tumhe irritate karta hoon...' Armaan said...

'Bilkul nehi, tum office jao aur kaam karo... Lekin shaam koh der tak kaam karte mat rehna... Mujhe 5 bhaje tumhe ghar mein chahiyeh, samjha...' Riddhima said breaking the hug and pointing her finger towards him...

'Samajh gaya madam, aapki hukum sar aankho pe... Lekin mere jaane se pehle, tum fresh hojao... Phir saath mein hum breakfast karenge, phir tum medicine bhi lena hai...' Armaan said...

'I knew it, mujhe pata ta tum apna chinta chodenge nehi... Jaa rahe ho phir bhi itna saara hukum farmaaish kar rahe ho...' Riddhima said making face hearing about her medicines...

'Kyunki main chahta hoon tum jaldi tik hojao, aur jaldi mere saath waapas office taaki main kaam ke waqt bhi apne biwi koh dekhpaun...' Armaan said holding her by waist...

'Accha yeh baat hai...' Riddhima asked...

'Yes, yehi baat hai... Ab jaldi karo, main tumhare liyeh kapde nikal deta hoon...' Armaan said leaving her...

Before Armaan could move away, Riddhima hold his hand... Armaan look towards her asking what happen to which Riddhima show him his tie which he has forgotton... Armaan smile seeing it and stood in front of her letting her tied it... When Riddhima started to make the knot, Armaan pull her close to him and keep admiring her face without blinking his eyes... Riddhima very well know Armaan was lost in her but she kept doing her work...

When she was finally done, she kept her hands on his shoulder and look towards him... They share an eyelock and Armaan eyes stop on Riddhima's lips... Riddhima very well understood what he must be thinking, but before he could move and seal her lips, Riddhima kept her hand on his lips...

'Not so soon Mr. Mallik... Let me fresh up, than we will have breakfast and you should leave...' Riddhima said moving out from his arms...

'That's not fair Riddhima, I want my morning kiss...' Armaan said moving behind her...

'Not before I get fresh up...' Riddhima said moving inside the washroom and closing the door before Armaan could reach her...

Armaan smile seeing how Riddhima run away from him, they very well know once they started it would be difficult for them to stop so Riddhima wouldn't take a chance to let Armaan be late for work when he was going back after two weeks... As they had taken off a week for Rahul Muskaan wedding, after coming back neither of them had gone to work... Atul was alone handling everything in office but Armaan had been doing a bit of work from house...

When Riddhima went to fresh up, Armaan started to collect his files and started check what he needs to do once he get back to work... He knows Riddhima was very serious when she tell him that she wants him back in home by 5 pm... So before leaving, Armaan thought to finalized his schedule so he wouldn't be over working...

AN HOUR LATER

After having breakfast, Armaan gave medicine to Riddhima before leaving... Ananya when to help Billy before he left with Armaan... Armaan took Riddhima to the hall because she was insisting to stay there for a while... However Armaan wanted Riddhima to be in her room but when Riddhima gave him a hard expression, Armaan thought to let her sit but warn her not to stay there for long...

Hearing Armaan, Riddhima make a face seeing how he was telling her what to do and not to in his absent... Armaan smile seeing her expression and sit on his knee in front of her. holding her hand which was resting on her lap... Riddhima look away from him, letting him know she was upset with him...

'Riddhima...' Armaan call her...

Riddhima didn't bother to look at him but keeps looking every where else... Armaan smile seeing this, he knows he is being over possessive but what to do, he was in so much love with her that he can't think of letting a single thing harm her... Armaan make her look towards him...

'Riddhima, I know u will take care of urself but still I can't stop worrying about you... And you know why right, I love you too much to loose you...' Armaan said kissing her hand...

'I know Armaan but u should trust me na... You know I wouldn't do anything that would pain me... Itna toh barosa rakhna chahiyeh mujhpe...' Riddhima said..

'I do trust you Riddhima, its just that...' Armaan stop knowing it was no need of talking about it...

Riddhima has make herself very much clear that she wants him to leave his fear behind and move on... She was right because him being scared wouldn't help either of them... Even she needs her space to be alone and let be alone with others... Just because someone might hurt her, they can't stop living...

Riddhima look towards him when he left his words without completing... She very well know why he has stop, she knows what he was about to say and it was no need of talking about it... Riddhima didn't mean to make him think about it again, she also can't let him go being worried for her...

'I love you...' Riddhima whisper kissing his forehead...

'I love you too...' Armaan reply kissing her cheek making her smile...

'Waise, morning kiss pending hai aapka...' Riddhima said putting her hand around his neck and holding him close to her...

Armaan smile hearing her, their face were inch away as now Riddhima was bending over him a little... Armaan look around and before Riddhima could understand what was happening, Armaan seal Riddhima lips taking her in to a kiss... Riddhima was shocked to respond first but when she started to respond, Armaan break it before they got carried away... Riddhima pout seeing how Armaan break it before she could taste him proper...

Armaan care her lower lips as her lip gloss was fading now due to the kiss, Riddhima smile and she also wipe off the lip gloss which was in Armaan face as he has to leave now... Armaan kiss her fingers and hearing footsteps, he stood up letting Riddhima rest her leg on the coffee table with a cushion under it...

'Chale Armaan...' Billy said...

'Haan Dad, lets go... Bye Mom...' Armaan said giving a side hug to Ananya and kissing her temple...

'Bye beta, over work mat karna aur dono jaldi ghar aana...' Ananya said...

'Jo hukum aapki...' Billy said saluting her...

'Billy...' Ananya glare at her for making fun in front of Armaan and Riddhima...

'Dad, every wife wants the same...' Armaan said looking towards Riddhima and winking at her...

'Haan toh tik haina, jab ghar mein biwi hai toh tum log kaam ke baad baahar kyun rehna... Humhare baare mein bhi toh sochna chahiyeh na...' Ananya said...

'Rehne doh Mom, ek baar kaam karna shuru kardete toh yeh log bhul jaate hai ghar mein biwi ya ma hai...' Riddhima said supporting Ananya...

'Look whose talking Dad, main usko kaha bhi main kuch din aur ghar pe rukhta hoon lekin nehi, isko mujhe bhagane ki jaldi hai...' Armaan said..

'Main aapko bhaga rahi hoon???' Riddhima asked...

'Aur nehi toh kiya, main tumhari wajahse toh hoon tayyar huva office jaane ke liye...' Armaan said...

'Accha hai. nehi toh aapne dekha na Mom, kaise mujhe pareshan karta hai yeh...' Riddhima said...

'Main pareshan karta hoon tumhe...??? Doctor ne kaha tumhe araam karne, ab ismein mera kiya galati hai...' Armaan said...

'Haan toh main kaha kuch kaam kar rahi hoon, main yaha mom ke saath bhi beitne nehi dete tum...' Riddhima said...

'Issiliyeh mujhe office bhej raha haina... Phir complain kyun kar rahe ho, kaam khatam hote hi aajaenge na hum... Humhara ghar hai, yaha nehi aayenge toh hum kaha jaenge, right dad...' Armaan asked...

'Haan toh kaam toh tumhara kabhi khatam hota nehi, issiliyeh mom keh rahi hai aajaana waqt pe...' Riddhima said...

'Yaar tum...' Armaan was cut by Ananya...

'Arey bhai, tum dono lad kyun rahe ho... Aur Armaan, Riddhima beti ne bhi kuch galat nehi kaha...

Tum kitni din tak ghar beitenge, lekin yeh galat baat hoga tum khud koh kaam mein itni busy rakkhenge toh...' Ananya said...

'Hum aajaenge, chalo abhi nikalte hai nehi toh der hojaenge... Bye ladies...' Billy said moving out...

Riddhima sit with her hands cross on her chest, with a pout on her lips... Armaan smile seeing her expression, he so wanted to kiss her senselessly but he control himself and whispering a small 'bye' he left with Billy... Hearing Armaan, Riddhima look towards him to see he was leaving with Billy... She felt sad for fighting like that, her pout got deep seeing Armaan didn't look towards her but next moment a beautiful smile form in her lips seeing Armaan turning around and giving her a wink before stepping out from the house...

Ananya who was watching her son and daughter in law, so the love between them... Once the man's left the house, Ananya sit with Riddhima for sometimes... They keep talking to each other while Riddhima tell Ananya about Rahul and Muskaan wedding, who had come back from their honeymoon a day before... Their moment was break with Nikki, who msg Riddhima asking to come online...

Ananya bring out the lappy for her and soon they were skyping with her who was asking about Riddhima health and also about Armaan as he wasn't around like usually he used to be from last few days... Ananya let Riddhima talk with Nikki as she went to check lunch, by the time she came back Padma was sitting with her... Three ladies spend sometimes talking about old days and after lunch, Padma took Riddhima to her room to rest...

IN A DARK ROOM

'Damn it, do something Mr. Arora... I want you to get me out from this place...' An angry Raina was shouting at her lawyer...

'I m trying my best Ma'am...' Mr. Arora said...

'Don't try, just do it... I want to get out from here any how...' Raina said...

'Yes Ma'am...' Mr. Arora said...

'You may leave, just remember... Do anything, just do it...' Raina said...

Mr. Arora nodded his head before leaving the room, Raina sit holding her head with her eyes closed... Its been a week and still nothing was on her favor, everything was against her which didn't let her get bail... She did a mistake that she speak too much about what she had plan against Riddhima...

'I wouldn't leave you so easily Riddhima, just because of you I m here where I never belong...' Raina said as fire were burning in her eyes...

'Ma'am...' Raina trace was broken with a man voice...

'John, come in... Sit...' Raina said resting her back at the chair and folding her hand...

'Why you call me here Ma'am... Mr. Arora said you want to meet me...' John said...

'Yes John, I want you to do my work because I m stuck here...' Raina said...

'Anything for you Ma'am...' John said...

Raina smile evily knowing very well how faithful servant John is, also she knows she can depend on him to complete her work because there was no way she can do it... If her lawyer can't prove her innocent which she isn't, she knows what she has to do... She thought maybe she has been targetting the wrong person all this time... Now she understood, it was time to play her last card and she knows if everything goes according to her plan, everything would turn the way she wants...

EVENING

Laughter was echoing around the Mansion, Ananya was in her room with Padma while Riddhima was in the hall with Sapna, Muskaan and Anjali... They were enjoying evening snacks with hot coffee as they tease Muskaan as they got hold of her after she has come from honeymoon... As Riddhima couldn't go anywhere else, they decided to meet in Mallik Mansion...

As other's work finished early today, they had come around 4 pm... Now they were enjoying their time as the guys hasn't come, Atul has call in forming they might be half an hour later due to a sudden meeting arrange at last minute... So they got all their time alone without the guy being around to tease Muskaan... Also she has got present for everyone which she though to give as soon as she could...

So once Ananya and Padma left them alone, their target become Muskaan who was for a change blushing and also shooting daggers towards her friends... Other's were having a good time, specially Riddhima knowing Muskaan wouldn't feel bad for whatever she says or asked...

'Itna nakre mat dikha Muski, bolna ab...' Riddhima said...

'Kitni besharam haina tu...' Muskaan said...

'Le, ab besharami ki kiya baat hai... Yaha sirf Sapz is not married, main aur di toh married hai... Aur dekho Di is pregnant too... Toh sharam ki kiya baat hai...' Riddhima said...

'Haan toh Sapz is not married na, uske saamne tu mujhse aise sawal karenge...' Muskaan asked...

'Meri saamne kyun nehi kar sakte... Main koansi bacchi hoon jo mujhe yeh baatein nehi sunna chahiyeh...' Sapna asked...

'Aur nehi toh kiya, next uski number hai.. Jab iski waqt aayenge, hum iski bhi bhulwalenge...' Anjali said...

'Haan tab toh tum log koh koi sharam hoga nehi, abhi jo tohda bacha haina... Woh bhi nehi hoga...' Sapna said...

'Shaadi ke baad sharam khatam hojate hai Sapz, yeh baat tujhe us din pata chalega jis din teri shaadi hojaenge aur tu apne husband ke saath suhagrat banaenge...' Riddhima said hi fiving Muskaan...

'Tab ke tab hum dekhenge, abhi Muskaan ki baari hai...' Sapna said...

'Aur nehi toh kiya, tu bhul gayi meri aur Ridz ke shaadi ke baad tumne humein kitna tease kiya...' Anjali said..

'Humne tab tujhe warn kiya, hum tujhe bhi nehi chodenge... Toh itna bhav kyun kha rahe ho...' Riddhima said...

'Dekh Muski, tu seedhe seedhe bata nehi toh hum jiju se puchenge...' Sapna said warning her...

'Accha, tu usse puchenge... Tik hai, puch usse...' Muskaan said challenging her...

Sapna was shocked hearing Muskaan reply, she thought Muskaan would tell them if they blackmail her saying they would ask Rahul.. Anjali smile while Riddhima smirk and took out her mobile... Sapna was too shocked to react but Riddhima knows Muskaan said that only knowing Sapna wouldn't have the gut to ask Rahul but she forgot that Riddhima is too shameless to ask anything from Rahul...

Seeing Riddhima taking her mobile, Muskaan look towards her as if asking she was serious... Riddhima gave her an innocent look and ask through her eyes if she should do it or not... Sapna who came out from her trace also had a smirk in her face seeing what Riddhima was trying to do...

'Haan haan kardo, main bhi dekhti hoon tum log puch paate hai ya nehi...' Muskaan said trying to act as if she dont care...

'Sochle madam, sharminda tujhe hona padega humhare puchne ke baad...' Riddhima said...

'Haan, phir mat kehna humne warn nehi kiya...' Sapna said...

'Bata de Muski, nehi toh yeh dono sach mein puchenge Rahul se...' Anjali said...

'Haan, aur yeh tu bhi jaante hai... Mujhe toh sharam nehi aayenge, maza aayenge...' Riddhima said this time hi fiving with Sapna...

When Muskaan wasn't going to let go off easily, Riddhima dial Rahul number and put the mobile on speaker... Still Muskaan wasn't going to believe they would ask Rahul but when Rahul answer Riddhima call, Riddhima wink at Muskaan while Sapna and Anjali press their lips holding their laugh...

'Hi Jiju, kaise ho...' Riddhima asked...

'Kiya huva Ridz, tu mujhe phone kyun kar rahe ho... Kuch kaam hai...' Rahul asked...

'Main toh aapka haal puchne ke liye phone kiya... Aapne milne nehi aayi mujhse...' Riddhima said...

'Arey, doh din pehle toh aaye... Aaj zarur milne jaunga Armaan ke saath... Muskaan haina waha...' Rahul asked...

'Haan Jiju, woh toh hai lekin mujhe aapse kuch puchna ta...' Riddhima said acting innocent...

Hearing Riddhima's words, Muskaan eyes popped out from her socket... Sapna and Anjali couldn't hold their laugh so they brust out laughing loudly while Riddhima also giggle seeing Muskaan expression... On the other side, Rahul was surprise hearing them laughing...

'Ridz, tu rakh phone...' Muskaan said once she came out from her trace...

'Kyun, mujhe Rahul se baat karne dena...' Riddhima said...

'Jo bhi hona hai, hogayi... Ab rakhde... Rahul, tu rakhde... Yeh paagal hogayi hai, bas tujhe pareshan karne ke liye call kiya...' Muskaan said...

'Arey lekin Riddhima koh mujhse kuch...' Rahul was cut by Muskaan...

'Kuch nehi puchna usse, jo bhi usse jaanna hai woh main bata dungi... Chal tu rakhde phone nehi toh main tere saath ghar nehi jaungi...' Muskaan said...

'Arey, yeh kiya baat huvi... Rakh deti hoon, dhamki kyun de rhe ho...' Rahul said...

Others were laughing hearing Muskaan and Rahul conversation, they couldn't hold their laugh seeing how Rahul got scared of Muskaan warning... Muskaan snatch the mobile from Riddhima's hand and cut it before could say anything after saying a quick 'bye' to him... By the time she cut the call, Riddhima and Sapna was rolling over the couch holding their stomach while Anjali try to control her laughter as she was having difficult in breathing...

Muskaan glare at them seeing how they were enjoying after teasing her, when they keeps laughing she took a cushion and hit Sapna with it... Also she hit Riddhima after her but left Anjali seeing she was pregnant... Muskaan sit back seeing how Riddhima and Sapna was still laughing after she smash them...

'Kitna dangerous hai tu Ridzy yaar...' Muskaan said...

'Kaha ta na, puchlungi...' Riddhima said...

'Maaf karde...' Muskaan said folding her hand in front of her...

'Kardiya, ab bol kaisa raha honeymoon phase???' Riddhima said smirking...

Muskan hit her forehead knowing they wouldn't leave unless she answer few questions and get enough detail about her honeymoon... Muskaan feel it was better telling them. if not they would ask Rahul again and she should be the who would feel awkward at the end... So she share enough information with them but skip the close moment she spend with Rahul as it was too privacy to share...

DINNER TIME

Ananya insist Padma and everyone else to stay over dinner... After days, they got to spend times and had meal together... As Ananya announce that she was going to make dinner, everyone got happy knowing how a cook good she is, also Padma joins her to help her along with Muskaan and Sapna...Riddhima and Anjali was asked to take rest, Armaan took Riddhima to the room while Atul took Anjali to guest room while the guys fresh up their wives could take rest...

Riddhima was laying with her eyes closed, she wasn't sleep but waiting for Armaan as she could hear the shower running in washroom... She took out his cloth before she laid down knowing Armaan wouldn't let her go down if she don't take rest as Armaan got to know she had been sitting there from three hours... Riddhima knows it wouldn't matter if she has taken rest in afternoon after lunch, once Armaan is in front of her, he wouldn't listen to her once...

Riddhima who was smiling thinking about how much Armaan love her and how she got so lucky to have a husband like Armaan and in laws like the Mallik's... Even Nikki had been asking about her health every day taking time from her busy schedule as she was preparing for exam... Abhi has also visit her and today again when everyone has come, Armaan invite Abhi as well as he is his friend before being Nikki's fiance...

Riddhima who was thinking about Armaan and their both families, felt moment near her... She open her eyes to see Armaan laying next to her, all fresh with his hair wet... Riddhima smile got wide feeling him close after a long day, she has miss him not being around her as he had been from few days...

'I miss you...' Riddhima said moving close to him and hiding her face on his bare chest as he wasn't wearing his tshirt...

'I miss you too jaan...' Armaan reply her hugging her close to him...

Riddhima smell his strong scent and next moment kiss his bare chest near his heart... Armaan smile and kiss her neck as he hide himself in her... Both laid hugging each other with their legs mingle as one body... They didn't speak a word as they just needed to feel each other close...

After sometimes, Riddhima felt Armaan leaving kisses on her neck and shoulder line... How much she was enjoying the love and warmness, she knows they can't afford to lose control when everyone else were present in the house to have meal with them... When Armaan move her dress off from shoulder for more access, Riddhima thought to stop him before they end up making love...

Feeling Riddhima pushing him away, Armaan move a little still holding her by waist... Armaan has a frown on his face for disturbing his moment with his wife, Riddhima smile seeing his cute expression... She care back of his head trying to calm him down as his desire was on fire...

'Armaan, baaki sab neeche humhare liye wait kar raha hai...' Riddhima said...

Armaan left a deep breath trying to control himself, Riddhima gave a quick kiss on his lips and push him making him laid on his side... She sit and started to correct her dress and hair... Armaan just laid admiring the beauty knowing he wouldn't ever get enough of her and her love to him...

'Armaan, chalo uto aur tshirt pehenlo...' Riddhima said...

'Mann nehi hai...' Armaan said...

'Accha, aur tumhara kiya mann kar raha hai...' Riddhima asked...

'Tumhe nehi pata...' Armaan asked putting his head on her lap...

'Sab samajhti hoon main aapko kiya sujh raha hai... Chalo hato...' Riddhima said trying to move him away...

'Arey, yeh sahi hai... Jab tum chaaho kiss karo aur maine bola toh saaf mana...' Armaan said moving his head from Riddhima's lap...

'Maine kab mana kiya...' Riddhima asked standing and putting her dupatta around her neck...

'Rokha ta tumne na...' Armaan said putting his tshirt...

'Abhi ke liye rokha kyunki baaki sab neeche hai aur dinner ka waqt ho raha hai...' Riddhima said...

'Accha toh matlab, baad mein hum...' Armaan said coming in front of her and hugging her...

'Tumhe iske alawa kuch nehi sujhta kiya...' Riddhima asked...

'Jab office mein hota hoon kaam ke baare mein sochta hoon lekin jab tum saamne hoti hai toh koi aur baat sochne ka moka hi nehi milta...' Armaan said winking at her...

'Hatt, bohot besharam hogaye ho...' Riddhima said...

Before Armaan could say anything, someone knock on the door and Armaan left to answer to see Sapna standing there... She came to call them for dinner, Armaan ask her to go they are coming in two minutes... Sapna smile and giving a teasing look, left from there... As Riddhima went to use washroom, Armaan wait for her to come out... Armaan ruffle his hair thinking how he can't just stay away from Riddhima for a second...

AFTER DINNER

It was truely a family affair as Shashank also joins them on Billy request, as Padma was already there Billy thought it would be nice to have a full family dinner moment... Everyone enjoy the delicious food cooked by Ananya and Padma... Also they talk about work and most important about Anjali pregnance as her last month started... Padma and Ananya announce that they would be having a baby shower...

Everyone got excited and they started to discuss, what they could do for it... Ananya and Padma had decide to have a Puja and after that they could have a small party... Armaan asked them to make it after another week as doctor ask Riddhima to take rest for a week before she follow her daily routine as her leg would be little weak at the moment...

'Haan toh tik haina... Hum abhi preparation ke baare mein discuss karte hai...' Muskaan said...

'We need to decide , what each one would do...' Sapna said...

'Haan that would be good, so no one would have much work to do...' Riddhima said...

Another hour they spend telling their idea's of having a baby shower for Anjali and her to be born baby... Atul and Anjali were happy to see how everyone was getting so much excited to welcome their unborn baby... They know, their baby would be so much lucky and loved by these people who was their family... So till 11 pm, they stay discussing everything and anything they would think of before calling it a night as they have work the next day...

AR ROOM

Riddhima was sitting smiling to herself thinking about the unborn baby of her sister... Armaan who came after changing cloths, smile seeing his wife smiling being lost... Armaan laid on his side and kept his head on her lap... Riddhima look at him smiling widely and started to massage his hair...

'Kiya soch rahe ho...' Armaan asked...

'Yehi ki, di kitni khush ti... Sab uska itni acche se khayal rakh rahi hai... Aur uske unborn baby ke liye itna khush hai, itna pyar hai... She must be feeling very happy na...' Riddhima said...

'Haan, maine bhi dekha woh kaise glow kar rahi ti... Aur aise haalat mein usse khush hi rehna chahiyeh... Uske liye aur bacche ke liye bhi accha hoga... Humhari support ki sabse zyada zarurat hai at this last few days of her pregnancy...' Armaan said...

'Agree Armaan... Aur Atul jiju toh usse itna pyar karte hai, Di koh kissi aur ki kami mehsus hone nehi dete...' Riddhima said..

'Toh tumne kiya socha hai...' Armaan asked...

'Main soch rahi hoon, Di ke liye main ek gown design karun... Aur baby ke liye bhi so when he/she is born, we can make him/her wear it... Aur what about a photoshoot of Di and Jiju, so we can click after the baby is born too...' Riddhima said..

'Kiya baat hai to be aunt, aapke idea's toh bohot acche hai...' Armaan said...

'Haan kyun nhi, after all I m going to be a aunt soon... That too for the first time...' Riddhima said showing her best smile...

'Sahi hai... Aap chaahon toh main aapko first time to be mother bhi bana sakti hoon...' Armaan said...

Riddhima look at Armaan with shocked written on her face, she wasn't expecting Armaan to say anything like that... They haven't talk about having their own family but Riddhima was sure about herself that whenever Armaan talk about it, she would be ready to take their relation to another level...

'Kyun??? Mera idea pasand nehi aaya...' Armaan asked her...

'Armaan woh...' Riddhima felt too shy to say anything...

'Bolo Riddhima, tum kiya sochte ho...' Armaan asked her...

'Armaan, woh main...' Riddhima didn't know what to say...

'Main abhi ki abhi bacche ke liye nehi bol raha hoon Riddhima... Lekin hum try toh kar sakte haina...' Armaan asked hopefully...

'Tumhe chahiyeh humhari baby??? I mean, are you sure u r ready..???' Riddhima asked...

'Haan Riddhima, it's a year and our life had been perfect till now... Mujhe ab humhari life complete karna hai, aur mujhe tumhari saath chahiyeh... Aur humhari baby...' Armaan said...

Riddhima was happy to know Armaan wants to take their relation to another level, she knows his love for her wouldn't change... Like he said, they could try... Its not that when they think it would happen... No one knows how much time it would take...

'Toh Mrs. Riddhima Armaan Mallik, kiya aap Mrs. Mommy Mallik banne liye tayyar hai...' Armaan asked her...

Smile form in Riddhima lips as she felt her cheeks turn red, Armaan smile seeing her cheeks color changing... Armaan move on his side of the bed and pull Riddhima down on him making her laid half on him... Armaan hold behind Riddhima neck pulling her close to him, seeing Riddhima being shy he knows her answer was 'yes'...

'I promise you, it would be the best thing I could ever give you jaan...' Armaan said...

'I would wait for that day Armaan...' Riddhima whisper...

'Phir jab tum puri tarah tik hojaenge, humhari baby ke liye try karenge ok...' Armaan said...

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

'Thanks to you, for coming in my life... Making it so beautiful and agree to make in perfect by giving me the pleasure of being father of ur child...' Armaan said...

'I love you Armaan...' Riddhima said as tears of happiness form in her eyes...
