From The Time I Saw You - An AR FF -

Part 88

A WEEK LATER

After talking Abhimaniyu, Ananya call for their family Pandit to final a date for Nikki and Abhi marriage... As Pandit gave three dates, they fixed the date which he gave after a year so Nikki also could enjoy her time with family and friends after she comes back after completing studies...

Ananya was talking to the Pandit while Riddhima was also with them, Billy and Armaan hasn't come from work yet while Nikki also has gone out with her friends... Abhimaniyu couldn't come either as he was busy with work and as he has no family, no one from his side was present there...

Ananya and Riddhima final the date after talking to each other, when the Pandit left after refreshment and thanking them for the hospitality... Ananya smile as she relax on the couch as finally, a date was fixed for her daughter marriage...

'Riddhima, tum Armaan koh phone lagao zara... Pucho dono baap bete kab tak ghar aayenge...'Ananya said closing her eyes as she relax because whole day she was in tension not knowing what would Pandit say about Nikki and Abhimaniyu marriage date...

'Mom, aap tohdi der araam karo... Baad mein hum dad aur Armaan koh bata denge kiya date nikla hai aur humne final kiya hai...' Riddhima said...

'Humne tik kiya na Riddhima, I mean Abhimaniyu ne toh kehdiya jo mujhe tik lage woh date choose karna lekin... Uske liye bohot important date hoga aur hum decide kare, mujhe tik nehi lag rahi...'Ananya said as she open her eyes and look towards Riddhima...

'Mom, woh aapko aur Dad koh bohot respect karte hai... Aur shayad uske ma baap hote toh bhi woh yehi kehte na mom... After all aise baatein bade decide karte hai, uske ma baap hote toh tab bhi shayad woh issi mein khush hoga jo date woh finalized kare... Aap kyun itna tension le rahe ho mom, jaisa humne chaaha hai tab ki date mili haina...' Riddhima said as she sit holding Ananya hand...

'Haan kyunki hum chahte hai Nikki padai ke baad apne ghar jaae shaadi karke, aur Abhimaniyu bhi yehi chahte hai uske padai pure hone ke baad woh Nikki se shaadi karenge...' Ananya said...

'Bas, aur yeh ek saal kaise beet jaaenge humein pata nehi chalega mom...' Riddhima said...

'Jaise humein abhi tak yakeen nehi huva kaise doh saal beet gaye tumhe is ghar mein aakhe...'Ananya said caring Riddhima hair lovingly...

Riddhima smile feeling Ananya love and care, she knows how much Ananya loves Nikki and Armaan, she loves her too... Ananya always proudly says how much happy she is to have Riddhima as their daughter in law and why not, Riddhima never give a chance them to complain about her for anything...

'Do saal, lekin aisa lagta hai tum hamesha se humhare zindagi mein ti Riddhima... Jaise tum humhare sabke zaruraton koh khayal rakhta hai, aisa lagta hai tum bahu nehi beti hai humhari... Aur hum bohot khushnaseeb hai humare ghar mein tum lakshmi banke aayi...' Ananya said...

'Mom, har ladki ki zimmedaari hota hai aur main bhi har ladki ke tarah wohi zimmedaari nibane ki koshish kar rahi hun...' Riddhima said...

'Aur bohot acche se niba bhi rahe ho tum Riddhima, jitna main tumhari tareef karun woh kam hai... Jitna main bhagwaan koh shukriya karun woh kam hai... Woh kehte haina, humne zindagi mein kuch accha kiya hoga issiliyeh humein tumhare jaise beti mili hai... Aur jiske saath tumhare jaise beti ho, woh bohot naseeb wale hote hai...' Ananya said...

'Bas bhi karo mom, aisa kuch nehi hai... Aap itne acche ho, koi aapke saath bura kaise kar sakte hai... Aur naseeb wali toh hum bhi hai, aapke jaisi itni caring aur pyar karne wali mom mila hai...'Riddhima said...

'Woh toh hai lekin tumse tohdi zyada naseeb hai meri... Itna accha ghar, pariwaar, pati aur bacchen mili hai mujhe... Ab bas ek pota ya poti miljae, life set hojaenge...' Ananya said...

Riddhima who was smiling all this time lower her head when she hear this as her smile vanished from her lips... Ananya who was closely looking towards her saw the change of Riddhima's expression, she had seen how Riddhima had been lost and also very disturb from last few months...

Ananya never chase this topic thinking it wouldn't be right to interfere her and Armaan personal space... Riddhima always used to come to her whenever she is upset with Armaan or worried for him but from past few months, Ananya has seen how Riddhima has make the distance and somehow today, she got the clue it must be related to this topic...

'Riddhima...' Ananya call to get her attention...

'Mom main Armaan koh call kardeti hun...' Riddhima said standing to leave but Ananya hold her hand and make her sit back...

'Bacchi, aap aise udaas kyun hogayi... Meri baat ka bura laga toh I m so...' Ananya was cut by Riddhima...

'Nehi mom, aapke baaton ka bura kyun lagega mujhe...' Riddhima said looking at her and trying to smile...

'Bacchi, mujhe nehi pata aapko kiya baatein pareshan kar rahi hai lekin aaj itna jaan gayi hun jo maine pota poti koh lekar kaha, woh sunke aapke muskuraahat chali gayi...' Ananya said...

'Mom woh...' Riddhima couldn't say anything as first time she was uncomfortable talking about something with Ananya...

'Dekh bacchi, yeh bas humhari khuwaish hai humhare ghar mein chote bacche ho lekin iska yeh matlab nehi humhari khushi ke liye aap bacche paida kare... Bacche kissi ki majboori nehi honi chahiyeh balki khushi hona chahiye, jeene ki wajahse hona chahiyeh... Aur yeh bhi zaruri nehi hai jab hum chahte hai woh ho kyunki bhagwaan ka marzi hota hai woh kab kisko baccha de...

Maine aapko Anjul ke saath bohot baar dekha hai, aur main yeh maanti hun aap bacchon koh jitni acche se sambhalenge... Lekin iska yeh matlab nehi hai abhi aap aur Armaan bacche ke liye plan kare... Yeh jo waqt aap log ke paas haina, woh dil se enjoy karo Riddhima kyunki bacche ke baad yeh waqt kabhi waapas nehi milenge...

Aur kabhi udaas mat rehna bacche hone ke liye waqt lag rahi hai toh, kyunki yeh bhi ek imthihaan hai humhare liye... Jab hum is imthihaan se pass hogi na, phir dekhna itni khushi milenge hum use sambhal nehi paaenge...' Ananya said caring Riddhima hair...

Riddhima was trying to hold her tears but feeling Ananya caring hand on her head, she couldn't help but let the tears fall... Riddhima put her head on Ananya lap, trying to hide her tears from her but Ananya has already seen it falling on her cheeks...

Riddhima was happy that she got a mother like Ananya, who understand her so well without her saying a single word... She don't need to speak her words to let Ananya know what's bothering her because they had a heart to heart connection which make Ananya always talk her and smooth her pain, support her like a true mother...

'Humne aapko ya Armaan koh hamesha apne zindagi jeeni ki aazaadi diya hai aur aage bhi aisa hi hoga... Jo bhi humhare zindagi mein likha hota hai, woh hokar rahenge... Bas dua hi maang sakte hai ki bure waqt ke baad humein acche waqt ke naseeb mile... Tum zyada isbaare mein mat sochna beti, kyunki jaisa tum ho waise tum acche lagte ho... Kissi ke liye, khud koh badhalna mat aur na takleef dena... Himmat mat haarna beti, sab tik hoga..' Ananya said...

'Jab aap jaise ma ho, dad jaisa papa, Armaan jaisa pati aur Nikki jaisi behen ho toh main kaise himmat haar sakti hun mom...' Riddhima said sitting back looking at Ananya...

'Aur ro na bhi mat kabhi, mere bete koh pata chala meri wajahse uske biwi ne itna saara aansu bahaye toh woh kiya sochenge, hmm...' Ananya said clearing Riddhima tears making her smile...

'Kuch nehi sochenge woh, kyunki woh apne mom koh jaante hai... Khud dukh reh sakte hai lekin kissi aur ke aankhon mein kabhi aansu aane nehi denge...' Riddhima said...

'Phir bhi, usko accha nehi lagega na... Ab yeh sab baatein chodo, time dekho... Yeh dono baap bete kabhi nehi sudar sakte, aur woh tumhari nanand... Call karke pucho, kab tak aa rahe ho ghar...' Ananya said to light up the atmosphere...

'Aapne yaad kiya, hum chali aayi mom...' Nikki said running towards them as she sit next to Ananya with a bang...

'Bhaag kyun rahe ho, kaha ti...' Ananya asked...

'Mom, doston ke saath ti... Batayi toh ti aapko...' Nikki said hugging her mother...

'Haan lekin puchne se kiya jaata hai meri... Riddhima, tum Armaan koh call karke puchna...'Ananya said moving her attention to Riddhima...

'Bhai abhi tak nehi aaya...???' Nikki asked as Riddhima took her mobile and dial Armaan number...

'Aagaye, itna bhi kyun bechain ho Mrs. Mallik...' Armaan said coming with Billy as his mobile ring in his hand as he saw Riddhima name flashing on it...

'Main aur bechain, woh bhi aapko dekhne ke liye.. Dream on Mr. Mallik...' Riddhima reply cutting the call...

'Woh toh dikh raha hai, aap mujhe call kyun kar rahi ti phir...' Armaan ask sitting with Billy on another couch...

'Maine kaha issiliye, time dekha tum dono ne... Kissi koh kaam ki chinta nehi hai, bas main aur meri beti nehi hote toh pata nehi tum logo ka kiya hoga...' Ananya said...

'Is lazy bone ki baat kar rahe ho...???' Armaan ask looking at Nikki...

'Meri ek nehi do beti hai Armaan, aur main apni badi beti ki baat kar rahi hun... Aur yeh kyun kaam kare, iski shaadi mein woh kaam tohdina karenge...' Ananya said...

'Kiya Annie, kyun badak rahe ho... Kiya huva hai...' Billy asked...

'Huva toh kuch nehi hai lekin ek saal baad hogi zarur... Aaj humne Pandit se baat karke date final kiya hai, aur tum sab apna apna kaam abhi se samajhlo...' Ananya said pointing to Armaan and Billy...

'Oh haan, aaj toh Pandit aane wala ta...' Billy said...

'Abhi aapko yaad aaya Billy, anyways maine Abhimaniyu koh nehi bataya kyunki Billy aapko usse batana hoga... Aur Armaan, tum aur Billy milke venue final karna aur book bhi karde abhi se... Mujhe last minute mein koi gadbad nehi chahiyeh...' Ananya said...

'Mom, abhi se koan booking karenge... Aur waise bhi yeh dulhan koh puchna chahiyeh woh hotel ya ghar mein shaadi karenge ya kahin aur...' Armaan said looking at Nikki..

'Mujhe laga meri shaadi mein mujhe koi kuch puchenge bhi nehi...' Nikki said smirking...

'Aisa tohdina hota hai princess, aap jaha bhi shaadi karna pasand karenge... Hum wahi pe kardenge aapke shaadi, after all its a special day...' Billy said...

'Accha phir tik hai, pehle yeh baat decide karlo aur phir Nikki... Tumhe abhi se design pasand karna hai tumhare har function ke liye... Tumhari bhabs ne yeh responsibility liya hai ki woh tumhare saare kadpe design karenge, tum dono baat karke design select karna jaldi...' Ananya said...

'Break lagao Annie, ek saal haina... Sab hojaenge...' Billy said...

'Aap break laga ke rakko, lekin filaal aap Abhimaniyu koh call karke bata doh next year aaj ki date pe shaadi karni hai humhare is paagal ladki se...' Ananya said hitting Nikki cheek softly...

'Mommm...' Nikki whines when Ananya call her mad...

'Dad kyun call karenge, Niks kardenge na... Dekh kaise khush hogayi date jaanke...' Armaan said looking at Nikki who try to hide her smile...

'Bhaiii...' Nikki again whines...

'Chal ja aur apne hone wali pati koh good news de... Heart attack mat dena yeh kehkar good news hai, pata nehi bechara kiya sochenge... Shaadi ke pehle good news, baapre...' Armaan said teasing...

'Woh wala good news toh aap aur bhabs koh dena hai, aur Abhi ke dhimag mein aise gande wale idea kabhi nehi aate...' Nikki said...

'Kyun behen, woh mard nehi hai kiya..' Armaan asked...

'Mard toh hai lekin aapke tarah besharam nehi hai...' Nikki asked...

'Dekh Niks tu...' Armaan was cut by Ananya...

'Ab tum dono shuru mat hoja... Nikki, tu hi bata de Abhimaniyu koh... Aur jaao aap teeno, fresh hokar dinner ke liye aajao...' Ananya said standing up to leave...

'Mom, main dekhti hun dinner...' Riddhima said before Ananya could move...

'Koi zarurat nehi hai, aaj main dekhlungi...' Ananya said...

'Lekin mom...' Riddhima was cut by Ananya...

'Karna kiya hai Riddhima, tumne already sab kuch toh bana diya... Bas Marie se kehkar khana lagwani hai..' Ananya said...

'Haan toh main bhi...' Riddhima was again cut by Ananya...

'Maine kaha na, zarurat nehi hai... Tum jaakhar Armaan ke help karo...' Ananya said...

'Aur mera help koan karega...' Billy asked...

'Saaf saaf kaho na dad, aapko mom se jhappi aur pappi chahiyeh...' Armaan said smirking...

'Haan toh tujhe bhi milenge na, Annie mere beti koh tere saath jo bhej rahi hai...' Billy said...

Riddhima who turn red hearing this, left from there without saying anything... Nikki laugh as she saw Riddhima running towards the stairs and she also left behind her as she has to call Abhimaniyu... Ananya shake her head seeing how shameless these two father and son is while Armaan just chuckle seeing how his wife still go red whenever anyone tease them...

ARMAAN RIDDHIMA ROOM

Riddhima curse Armaan under her breath as she came to the room and move to the wardrobe to take his cloths... As she has taken shower and has change her cloths after coming from work to help and be with Ananya when the Pandit comes, she just wait for Armaan to come after she got him a pair of fresh cloths...

Riddhima's face was still flush hearing how Billy was teasing Armaan but it wasn't only him but her in the picture too so she felt herself going red thinking what Billy must be thinking about them that he tease Armaan in front of others...

'Yeh Armaan bhi na, kabhi moka nehi chodte dad koh tease karne mein aur ulta dad humein tease karte hai... Sharam toh aate nehi lekin mere baare mein toh sochna chahiyeh usko... Uske paas sharam baaki nehi toh kiya huva, mujh mein toh tohdi sharam baaki hai...' Riddhima said as she walk from one end to other, waiting for Armaan...

When Armaan enter, she stop walking and sit on the bed with a upset expression... Armaan smile knowing Riddhima was faking anger because still her cheeks were red due to blush... Whatever he say downstairs, he just wanted to see Riddhima blushing because he has seen her red eyes which means either she was tired or have cried before him coming...

Leaving the laptop bag on the couch, Armaan move to his beautiful wife sitting next to her... Armaan kick off his shoes and put his arms around Riddhima but she struggle off as she stood up... Taking the towel, Riddhima forward it to Armaan waiting for him to hold it so she could go and take his laptop bag to put it in its place...

'Kyun naraz ho biwi..' Armaan ask holding the towel with her hand...

'Please Armaan, tumhe toh koi sharam aate nehi lekin meri baare mein toh socha karo...' Riddhima said trying to move her hand off from Armaan's hold...

'Ab isbaat pe itna kya naraz hona...' Armaan ask he stood up and pull Riddhima in his arms...

'Armaan please, aap jaakar fresh hojao... Mujhe kaam hai...' Riddhima said trying to move his hands off from he waist...

'Uhun, mom ne toh mera help karne ke liye tumhe bheja... Aur mujhe apne biwi se kiss chahiyeh aur tight hug bhi... I miss you so much...' Armaan said hugging her and kissing her neck...

'Armaan, kiya kar rahe ho... Jaakar fresh hojao...' Riddhima said pushing him but he didn't move an inch...

'Jab tak tum mujhe apni pyari smile nehi dete, hug nehi karte aur kiss nehi dete main nehi jaunga...'Armaan said...

'Kyun kar rahe ho aisa...' Riddhima asked trying not to melt in his hold...

Armaan just didn't speak another word as he started to leave soft kisses on Riddhima shoulder-line and neck... Armaan knows Riddhima wasn't angry with him but also not happy that because of him, his father got chance to tease them...

'Tumhare aankhon mein dard nehi dekha jaata mujhe...' Armaan said as he nuzzle on her ear...

'Armaan...' Riddhima just whisper his name closing her eyes feeling his hot breath touching on her earlobe...

'Tumhare aankhein kabhi mujhse kuch nehi chupa sakte Riddhima... Wajah main jaanta hun lekin main kuch nehi kahunga is baare mein kyunki mujhe pata hai tum apni tarafse puri koshish kar rahe ho...' Armaan said kissing her earlobe...

Riddhima was losing in his arms, feeling Armaan kisses make her feel bless to have someone like him as her life partner... How much she try to be angry on him, she can never be more than a minute... Armaan will melt her with his one touch and Riddhima just can't stop reacting to it...

Armaan move out as he cup her face in his palm, without giving a chance he place his lips on her giving a smooth kiss... Riddhima respond to the kiss as they kiss slowly, Ridddhima hands were on Armaan chest as it got hold on his shirt as she keep him close to her...

When Armaan was satisfied knowing he has prove her how much he loves her no matter what, Armaan break the kiss looking at her face... Riddhima eyes were closed but a beautiful smile was on her lips very well understanding the meaning behind that kiss...

'I love you...' Armaan whisper looking at her face...

'I love you too...' Riddhima whisper back as she slowly open her eyes letting it meet his orbs which shows love for her...

Armaan smile seeing how the pain vanished from her eyes and now happiness sparkling in it... Riddhima just close the distance between them, hugging him as she rest her head on his chest, close to his heart to hear his heartbeat...

Armaan also hugs her, resting his chin on her head closing his eyes as he enjoy her warm... Surely it was a busy day but having his lovely wife in his arms at the end, his tiredness fly out from the window... Their moment was disturb with Ananya who was calling Riddhima, Armaan left her as she run out making Armaan smile as he saw that blush still not leaving her cheeks...

Smiling how just a single kiss could make his wife happy, Armaan took off his shirt and move to the washroom to relax his muscles before going down to have dinner with his family and lovely wife... Remembering about Riddhima, Armaan thought to check about the arrangement as just a week was left to their anniversary...

NIKKI'S ROOM

The moment she enter the room, she dial Abhimaniyu number but he didn't answer her call... Wondering what he was doing or up to, Nikki call another two three times... Still when he didn't answer her calls, Nikki left a MSG asking him to return her call as soon as he get free knowing he must be busy in some work or meeting...

As she has been out from afternoon, Nikki thought to have a shower before going down for dinner... So she carelessly throw the mobile on the bed and went to the washroom as she thought Abhi would take few minutes to return her call back...

After fifteen minutes, Armaan came to call her... Not seeing Nikki in the room and hearing the shower, Armaan understood she is still in the washroom... Thinking she would come soon after fresh up, Armaan turn to leave but heard Nikki's mobile ringing...

'Niks, teri phone...' Armaan call as he move towards the bed...

'Bhai, what are you doing here...' Nikki asked from inside the washroom...

'Tujhe bhulane aaya ta dinner pe, everyone is waiting...' Armaan call back as he took her mobile...

Seeing Abhimaniyu name flashing on her mobile screen with their engagement picture on the wallpaper, Armaan smirk as a idea popped in his mind... It was that moment Riddhima enter to see why Armaan was taking so much time as she was the one who ask him to get Nikki as she saw him coming out from the room as she stood down near the stairs...

Riddhima was about to speak but seeing Armaan looking at Nikki's mobile, she was confused... Hearing someone footsteps, Armaan turn around and put his finger on lips asking Riddhima not to speak... Riddhima ask through eyes what he was up to which Armaan just answer with a wink...

'Yes Abhimaniyu...' Armaan said as he speak just exactly like his father as he copy his father voice...

Riddhima eyes grown wide realizing what Armaan was up to, he has put the mobile on speaker so Riddhima could also hear Abhimaniyu voice as they know how he gets nervous whenever Billy is around... As expected, Abhimaniyu hesitatingly reply as he couldn't speak the words as he got scared hearing Billy voice...

Only he didn't know it was his friend, playing a prank on him just to have fun... After all he would be his brother in law and how can he miss a chance to have some fun with the guy who would be soon taking his sister away to start a new life...

'Sir... main... woh...' Abhi said as he didn't expect Billy to received the call...

'Haan Abhimaniyu, bolo kaise yaad kiya mere beti koh iswaqt...' Armaan ask again as he speak on Billy voice...

Just than Nikki came out and heard Armaan speaking someone copying their father's voice... It wasn't the first time but they both had play prank on their own mother as Armaan speak on their father voice which seems just exactly like Billy...

No one would know unless they see who is the person because Armaan is so good in copying his father voice... Nikki who didn't realized that Armaan was talking to Abhi and making him fool by talking his father voice, speak without thinking...

'Bhai, aap kisse baat kar rahe ho...' Nikki asked before Abhi could answer...

'Armaan...???' Abhi asked from the other side as Nikki took Armaan name...

Armaan slap his forehead as Nikki ruin his chance of making a great fool of Abhi and scared him... Riddhima who stood quiet, giggling seeing Armaan reaction and Nikki just look at Armaan and than Riddhima asking what has she done...

'Kuch der tu chup nehi reh sakte Niks, kitna mazaa aata Abhi koh pareshan karne mein...' Armaan said giving the mobile to Nikki...

'Armaan tu tha, thank god... Pata hai main kitna nervous hojaata hun Uncle hote toh...' Abhi said leaving his breath as he had been holding it thinking it was Billy on the other side of the call...

'Tera jawab se pata chalgaya tha, lekin yeh Niks saara maza kharab kardiya...' Armaan said hitting Nikki's head on back...

'Ouch bhai, kyun maar rahe ho... Mujhe kiya pata aap Abhi par prank khel raha ta...' Nikki said caring her head...

'Ab mom pe yeh prank work nehi karte toh maine socha dekhun Abhi pe work karte hai ya nehi...'Armaan said...

'Bhai, aap bhi na...' Nikki said laughing as she remember how they used to play prank call on their mother...

'I know, kiya din tha na woh... Aasani se mom koh bewakuf banati ti hum...' Armaan said smirking...

'Ab tum dono ka hogaya hai toh Nikki tum bataenge mujhe itna saara call kyun ki...' Abhi asked...

'You didn't tell him yet...???' Armaan asked...

'Haan bhai, pata nehi yeh ladka kaha busy ta..' Nikki said...

'Modi, tum mere behen ki call tak nehi uta sakte... Bechari kitni bechain hai tumhe batane ke liye finally date nikaal diya tum dono ke shaadi ke liye...' Armaan said...

'Bhaiii...' Nikki whines as she wants to tell Abhi and now thanks to Armaan that he told Abhi before her...

'What...??? Tujhe sach mein batani ti, sorry Niks...' Armaan said holding her ears...

'Very funny bhai, chodo meri ears...' Nikki said pushing his hands off from her ears...

'Oh sorry...' Armaan said leaving her ears and grinning...

'Now will you leave, mujhe apne fiance se baat karni hai...' Nikki said shooing him away..

'Kiya yaar Niks, ab bhai ka koi importance nehi hai...' Armaan said dramatically...

'Aap na yeh nautanki kahin aur jaakar karo... Bhabs, mom koh kehna main bas abhi aa rahi hun dinner pe...' Nikki said as Riddhima also move out without saying anything like a good girl...

'Ok Niks, jaldi karna...' Riddhima said as Nikki close the door nodding her head...

When they were out from Nikki's room, Riddhima turn to leave but stop in midway feeling Armaan not by her side... Riddhima look around to see Armaan still near Nikki's room as he stood touching his ears on the door... Riddhima shake her head seeing how sometimes Armaan act like a small kid...

'Armaan...' Riddhima call him...

'Shhh...' Armaan said putting his finger on his lips and asking Riddhima to keep her voice low...

'Chalo Armaan, kyun bacchon ke tarah uske baat sun rahe ho...' Riddhima said moving towards him and pulling his hand...

'Arey yaar sunne dena, mujhe Niks koh baad mein chida ne ke liye indono ke baat sunna hai...'Armaan said...

'Tum aise bhi ched sakte ho kyunki uske shaadi ki date fixed hogaya hai, bacchon wale harkat karna band karo aur chalo...' Riddhima said pulling Armaan away from Nikki's room...

'Kiya yaar wifey, tum mujhe kabhi kuch karne kyun nehi dete...' Armaan said sulking when Riddhima pull him away...

'Really...???' Riddhima ask leaving his hand...

'Aur nehi toh kiya, ab ek saal mein Niks chali jaaenge toh usse pehle mujhe uske saath tohda mazak toh karne de... Waise bhi woh next week waapas jaaenge studies continue karne, phir main kitna bore hoga...' Armaan said...

'Tumhe bore hone ka waqt kab milta hai Armaan, saara din kaam mein guzarjaata hai aur ghar mein bhi kaam...' Riddhima said..

'Jhutiii...' Armaan said pulling Riddhima in his arms...

'Kiya kar rahe ho Armaan, hum kamre mein nehi hai jo tum mujhe aise pakad rahe ho...' Riddhima said trying to move his arms off from her waist...

'Chalte hai kamre mein...' Armaan said moving towards the room still holding Riddhima...

'Ji nehi, humein dinner ke liye neeche jaana hai... Mom Dad kiya sochenge Armaan, jab dekho tumhe romance karna hota hai...' Riddhima said...

'Lekin tohdi der pehle toh tumne kaha, main ghar pe bhi sirf kaam aur kaam karte hai...' Armaan said...

'Haan toh romance karna bhi tumhara kaam haina...' Riddhima said without thinking as she try to get herself free from his hold...

Armaan smirk hearing her words and not getting a reply from Armaan, Riddhima stop struggling and look towards him to see that naughty grin on his face... Riddhima remember what she just speak out and when the words replayed in her mind, she felt herself going red thinking about the meaning of the words...

'Oye hoyye, ab main kaise tumhe chod dun...' Armaan said touching his forehead against her...

'Armaan...' Riddhima said closing her eyes tight as she control her smile biting her lower lips...

'Ufff, aise mat karo... Mera dil karta hai abhi main tumhe kha jaun...' Armaan said moving his one hand up to her face and touching it on her chin, making her look towards him...

Riddhima knows Armaan wouldn't leave a moment to make her blush so just not looking towards him, she push him and run from there before Armaan could hold her back... Seeing Riddhima blushing and getting all shy like a newly wedded bride, Armaan hold got loose and taking the advantage, Riddhima push him and left...

Armaan smile seeing how Riddhima run out from his arms, before going down Riddhima look around as she stood in the middle of the stairs to make sure if he is coming or not... Giving a wide smile, Armaan move towards the stairs and seeing him coming, Riddhima again move down quickly before he could hold her...

By the time Armaan came to the dinning area, Riddhima was nowhere to be seen... Armaan knew she must have gone to the kitchen making an excuse to get something so he just took his seat on Billy's left while Ananya was sitting on his right..

'Nikki kaha hai...' Ananya ask not seeing Nikkita...

'She is coming, Abhi se baat kar rahi hai...' Armaan said...

'Abhi tak baat khatam nehi huva...???' Billy asked...

'Dad, bas abhi uska call aaya... Jab maine usse bhulane gaye, tab Niks washroom mein thi..'Armaan said...

'Aur aapko pata hai dad, Armaan ne Abhi koh aapke aawaaz se baat karke dara diya...' Riddhima said coming from the kitchen holding a bowl...

'Toh kiya huva, woh dad ke aawaaz sunke ya dad koh dekhte hai nervous hojaate hai... Maine socha uska nervous hona aur darna tohda kam kardeta hun...' Armaan said smirking...

'Tum phir shuru kardi apna pranks khelna...' Ananya asked...

'Aap pe toh ab work karti nehi toh maine socha uspe work karte ya nehi, dekhta hun...' Armaan said...

'Sudar ja beta, nehi toh Niks tere pitai kardenge...' Billy said...

'Common dad, Niks knows it... Wohi toh mera partner in crime tha mom pe prank khelne ke liye...'Armaan said...

'Aur bhi bhi hun bhai...' Nikki said coming and taking her seat next to Ananya...

'Hogayi baat...???' Ananya asked...

'Woh toh pehle hojaata if he answer my calls... Lekin banda busy tha toh kiya kare...' Nikki said...

'Abhi bhi sochle Niks, mere tarah Abhi bhi workaholic hai... Kahin tu shaadi ke baad bore na hojaae...' Armaan said...

'Bhabs, aap bhai se bore hogayi..???' Nikki asked questioning Riddhima than answering Armaan...

'Oye, woh mujhse kyun bore hoga... Workaholic hun maanta hun, lekin bohot romantic bhi hun... Mujhe pata hai kaise apne biwi koh khush rakhna, so no chance of her getting bore with me, right biwi...' Armaan ask looking towards Riddhima who was sitting next to him on his left as he wink at her...

Riddhima just ignore Armaan shameless comment as she started to have her dinner after serving Armaan but everyone had seen the color change on Riddhima's cheek and her silent speak too much than her words would if she speak...

'Kyun baar baar meri beti koh pareshan karte ho tum dono bhai behen...' Ananya said coming to Riddhima rescue...

'Mom, aap decide hi karlo aaj... Beti hai ya bahu...??? Kyunki mujhe toh ab lagne laga hai main jamai banke apne biwi ki ghar pe reh raha hun...' Armaan said...

'Beta toh tum ho Armaan, lekin Riddhima bhi beti se kam nehi hai... Na yeh Riddhima ka sasural hai na tumhara... Ghar toh ghar hi hota hai na...' Ananya said...

'Bilkul sahi kaha tumne Annie, ghar ghar hi hota hai... Aur ghar mein itna accha log ek saath rahe toh bas khushiya hi khushiya hai...' Billy said...

'Ab senti mat hona, toh Niks... Abhi ne kiya kaha date ke baare mein... Usko koi problem toh nehi haina... Jaldi karna hai ya aur delay karna hai...' Armaan asked...

'Delay kyun karna, aur jaldi bhi nehi karna... Kyunki mujhe bhi toh waqt chahiyeh padai ke baad yaha aakar main apne pariwaar ke saath tohda time spend karun before I leave this house...' Nikki said...

'Chalo yeh acchi baat hai, before you leave... Hum ek baar Abhi koh yaha dinner pe bhulate hai aur kuch baatein finalized bhi kardenge...' Ananya said...

'Ab kiya baatein hai jo Nikki ki jaane se pehle karna hai...???' Billy asked...

'Billy, aap shayad bhul rahe ho lekin ladke wale ke tarafse bhi kuch zimmedaari hote hai... Aur Abhi ke tarafse toh koi adult hai nehi toh humein hi usko samjhana hoga na kya kiya karna hoga usse...'Ananya said...

'Mom is right dad, shayad Abhi koh maalum nehi hoga issiliye behtar yehi hoga abhi clear karde taaki aage jaakar koi problem na ho... Aur hum chahte hai, Nikki ki present mein hum yeh baatein kare... Shayad Abhi koh bura bhi lag sakte hai yeh sochke uske tarahfse koi nehi hai yeh sab karne ke liye, usse khud karna hoga...' Riddhima said...

'Mujhe nehi lagta woh akele hoga kyunki humhare friends haina... I mean I m sure Rahul and Amit would be glad to be on his side at least kyunki Atul toh humhare tarahse hoga so means Anjali too...' Armaan said...

'Haan lekin Sapz aur Muski pata nehi kiske side se hoga...' Riddhima said...

'Jo bhi ho, I m sure Rahul and Amit would be on his side...' Armaan said...

'Yeh accha rahega, Armaan tum kal sabko bata de... Aur jab Abhi koh dinner pe bhulaenge, tab hum baaki sabko bhi bhulalenge...' Ananya said...

'Thank you bhai...' Nikki said seeing how Armaan was making sure Abhi wouldn't be alone on his special day...

'Abhi se parai kardiya kiya Niks, aur thanks ki kiya baat hai behen... Abhi se mera rishta pehle se hai, dost hai woh mera... Itna toh soch hi sakta hun na uske baare mein...' Armaan said...

'Phir bhi bhai, aap bohot acche ho... Koi aur hota bhi toh itna bhi nehi sochenge...' Nikki said...

'Bas bas, zyada makkan lagane ki zarurat nehi hai...' Armaan said...

'Toh tum log kal baaki sabko bata dena, phir hum Abhi koh dinner pe bhulaenge baaki preparation ke baare mein discuss karne, right Annie...' Billy said...

'Haan yeh tik rahega, kyun Riddhima...' Ananya aske Riddhima...

'Yes Mom, yeh sahi rahega...' Riddhima said...

They continue their dinner talking about Nikki's wedding preparation, how much work they had to do and who had to do which work... Also Ananya asked them to make a guest list from each so they wouldn't miss anyone who they had to invite for the ceremony...

After dinner, Armaan left to his room while Billy and Nikki sit in the hall watching television as they wanted to spend sometimes before going to bed... Ananya and Riddhima observe the kitchen and dinning area as the servants clean it, when they were done Ananya send them to servant headquater asking them to come on time the following day...

Ananya and Riddhima joins Billy and Nikki, seeing Armaan nowhere Ananya ask them where he left... As Armaan didn't tell why he was going to his room, Billy and Nikki just struggle their shoulder when Ananya ask what he was doing in room alone...

'Honeymoon ke liye arrangment kar raha hoga..' Nikki speak out without thinking...

'Oh haan, toh tumhe pata hai teri bhai, tumhari bhabs koh kaha le jaa rahi hai...???' Billy asked...

'Mujhe kaise pata hoga dad, maine toh bas aise bol diya...' Nikki said...

'Tujhe toh kuch na kuch pata hai Nikki, batana humein...' Ananya asked...

'Kiya mom aap bhi, aapko jaanna hai toh bhai se puchna... Mujhe sach mein nehi pata, main toh bas bhai koh some places suggest ki ti... Ab bhai ne kis destination choose kiya, mujhe nehi pata...'Nikki said...

'Itna help kiya hai toh humhari bhi help kardo, pata lagao kis destination choose kiya hai...'Riddhima said...

'Bhabs, aapko jaanna hai toh aap khud jaakar pucho na... I m sure bhai bata denge, waise bhi first honeymoon toh hai nehi... Surprise rakh ke kiya karenge bhai...' Nikki said...

'Bhul gayi tum princess, teri bhabs koh surprise bohot pasand hai...' Billy said...

'I m sure Armaan nehi bataenge, kyun Riddhima...' Ananya said..

'Haan mom, aur jitna mujhe surprise accha lagta hai, mujhe wait bhi nehi hoga yeh jaane bina kiya surprise hai...' Riddhima said pouting...

'Chalo jaao, apne pati se puch... Dekhte hai, tum usse baat nikalwati hai ya nehi...' Billy said..

'Kiya dad, aap jaante haina... Woh galati se bhi nehi bataenge, mujhe toh bilkul bhi nehi...'Riddhima said...

'Common bhabs, I m sure aap ab tak jaan gaye hoge bhai se kaise baat bhulwana hoga...' Nikki said winking at her...

First Riddhima just stare at Nikki not understanding what she mean by that but when she saw Nikki's smirking expression, she understood the meaning behind those words... Billy and Ananya smile seeing how Riddhima confused expression change to blushing...

'Ek yeh aur ek woh, dono bhai behen milke mere beti koh tease karti rehti hai...' Ananya said...

'Arey, galat kiya kaha maine mom... Aap bhi toh dad se baat nikalwaate ho, kyun dad...' Nikki said winking at Billy...

'Badmaash...' Billy said hitting Nikki's cheek softly making her giggle...

'Sach mein, yeh aur Armaan abhi bhi bohot badmash hai... Dono bade toh hogaye lekin bachpana abhi tak nehi gaye...' Ananya said...

'Ab ismein bachpan ki kiya baat huvi mom, badi nehi hote toh aise bhabs koh tease nehi karte na...'Nikki said...

'Bas, bohot raat hogayi hai... Sab jaakar sojao...' Ananya said knowing Riddhima was feeling uncomfortable now...

'Goodnight...' Riddhima said quickly leaving...

'Goodnight bhabs, aur bhulna mat... Aapko hi bhai se nikalwana hai woh aapko kaha le jaa rahi hai... Aap kaise karenge, aap khud sochlena...' Nikki call behind Riddhima who run as fast as she could hearing Nikki laugh follow her...

'Sach mein bohot badmash hogayi hai yeh ladki, apne bhabs koh aise tease karte hai kiya...'Ananya said standing...

'Common mom, bhabs kabhi meri baat ka bura nehi maanenge... Aur ab toh bhabs koh aadat hona chahiyeh, 2 saal hone wali hai...' Nikki said...

'2 saal ho ya 20 saal, ladkiya hamesha apne sasur aur saas ke saamne aise sharmate hai...' Billy said...

'Aapko bohot pata hai dad...' Nikki asked...

'Kyun nehi, teri mom koh bhi toh maine dekha hai 20 saal tak aise sharmate huve mere parents ke saamne...' Billy said...

'Accha, I never now that...' Nikki said looking at her mother...

'Ab jaan gayi na, chalo jaakar sojao...' Ananya said...

Wishing each other, they left to their respective rooms as they all have a smile on their face thinking about their life... Nikki was happy that finally, they got a date which she would get married to her lover and fiance... While Billy and Ananya was happy, to get their daughter alliance fixed with a nice guy like Abhimaniyu and they know he would keep their daughter happy forever...

ARMAAN RIDDHIMA ROOM

Armaan was working in his laptop after coming back to the room, he knows Riddhima wouldn't be coming for another half an hour so before she comes, he makes some calls and check the arrangement he has done for their anniversary week...

Armaan has already plan and book ticket for their destination, he want to spend at least two to three weeks with his beautiful wife without anyone to disturb them in mean time when they are away from the families and friends...

Armaan knows, their friends wouldn't leave a chance to call them where ever they go but this time Armaan has arrange what they would do every single day when they are away so it wouldn't get much time for Riddhima or anyone else to catch them when they are busy enjoying their honeymoon...

Grinning for his plans which was just perfectly ready to exclusive and he just need to tell Riddhima that they would leave in the coming week so she better start to pack from now as they hardly would get time as they had to go work till they leave for their second honeymoon...

Thinking how Riddhima would react to know about the place, Armaan was lost thinking how beautiful their days would be in there was distract hearing footsteps from outside the room... Armaan quickly close the windows and shut the laptop because he don't want Riddhima to get any clue where he was going to take her...

It was that very moment Riddhima enter the room when Armaan kept his laptop on the coffee table, Armaan stood up smiling as she close the door and lock it... Riddhima look around to see Armaan looking at her and smiling, he was wondering why Riddhima cheeks were red again as he wasn't there to tease her...

'Tamatar ke tarah laal kyun hai tumhari cheeks...' Armaan ask moving towards her...

'Ek aap aur ek aapki behen, na jhaga dekhi hai na waqt...' Riddhima said moving towards the wardrobe to take her night cloths...

'Ab kiya kehdiya mere behen ne...' Armaan ask raising his one eyebrow...

'Kuch nehi, tumhe sona nehi...' Riddhima ask moving towards the washroom...

'Biwi ki ke bina neend kaha aate mujhe...' Armaan ask sitting on the bed on his side...

Riddhima just shake her head and went to change, by the time she came Armaan was laying on his side on his stomach... Riddhima move on the bed and laid on her side and face Armaan whose face was turn the other side not facing her...

'Armaan...' Riddhima call him when he didn't turn towards her like he used to do before when ever he feels her present...

Hearing Riddhima soft voice, Armaan turn his face looking her side... Armaan smile seeing Riddhima looking towards him, he knows she wouldn't be able to sleep unless she is in his arms... So laying on side, he move close to Riddhima pulling her in his arms...

Riddhima smile seeing how Armaan understood her unspoken words, she put her hands around Armaan waist on his back as she hide herself in his bare chest as Armaan has took off his t.shirt after coming back to the room as he wouldn't be able to sleep wearing anything on his upper body...

Armaan kiss her forehead and close his eyes, Riddhima smile and nuzzle her nose on Armaan bare chest making current pass through his spines... Armaan just squeeze her in his arms as he try to control his desire knowing she must be tired and it was not necessary that every night they had to fulfilled the others desire...

Remembering he has to tell Riddhima about their honeymoon plan, which he knows Riddhima first question would be about the place but he wouldn't give it to her until they check in and get the boarding pass... Armaan knows, it would be little hard but till now he hide it because he knows Riddhima would do anything to make him slip it out...

'Riddhima...' Armaan call to know if she has sleep...

'Hmmm...' Riddhima ask moving out and looking at his face...

'Next week, Tuesday koh humein nikalna hai... Toh kal se packing shuru kardena...' Armaan whisper as they laid close, with their face inch away...

'Kaha jaa rahe hai hum...' Riddhima asked hoping he would say...

'Jaha, sirf hum dono hoga...' Armaan said smartly...

'Tch, Armaan woh toh mujhe bhi pata hai... Lekin which country...' Riddhima asked...

'Jaha tum, saree's aur suit's bilkul nehi pehennenge...' Armaan said again...

'Accha, phir kaise kapde pehen na hai mujhe...' Riddhima asked...

'Casuals... Tops, Jeans, Shirts, Skirts and dresses...' Armaan said...

'Jab log dekhenge tab kiya...' Riddhima asked...

'Logo koh bhi toh pata chalna chahiyeh, mera biwi kitna khubsurat hai...' Armaan said...

'Batao na Armaan...' Riddhima asked hoping he would tell her exact place...

'Aise kaise, apne aankhon se dekhlena...' Armaan said..

'Tum bohot bure ho...' Riddhima said pouting...

'Phir bhi, hun toh tumhari hun na...' Armaan said kissing her pout lips...

'Bataenge toh kiya hogajenge...???' Riddhima asked...

'Jo expression tumhare chehre pe dekhne koh milega, woh miss hojaenge na...' Armaan said...

'Tum nehi bataenge na...???' Riddhima asked...

'Not a chance wife...' Armaan said closing him eyes and hiding his face on her neck...

'Tch, that's so unfair Armaan..' Riddhima said smashing his back softly...

'Everything is fair in love jaan..' Armaan said kissing Riddhima neck...

Knowing it was no used of asking Armaan but to wait till coming Tuesday, Riddhima also closed her eyes thinking about the destination which is a mystery to her... Riddhima knows, Armaan must have plan something special, that is the reason that he is hiding about the place where they would be going for their anniversary celebration...

So hugging each other, they slept as their mind was busy thinking about the days they would be spending with each other, in each other arms to celebrate successful two years of their marriage with up's and down's they have face together which make their love stronger and deeper...
