ARMAAN RIDDHIMA,
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY


Riddhima felt something touching her face, she was in deep slumber when her sleep got disturb by a soft thing caring her face, bare shoulder and hands... Riddhima eyes were filled with heavy sleep but feeling the soft touch, adorable smile form in her lips...

As slowly her mind was working as the sleep started to leave her brain, Riddhima wondered what was those soft things... Very well knowing it must be Armaan act, she slowly open her eyes still with smile on her lips to see a smiling Armaan showering her with rose petals who was sitting next to her on his knees, bending a little towards her...

When Riddhima open her eyes, Armaan empty a basket of rose petals over her making Riddhima close her eyes once again as her smile got wide... Armaan smile also got wide with dimples on his cheeks, he laid over her as he started to leave kisses on her bare shoulder making Riddhima gasp with his sudden move...
'Armaan...' Riddhima whisper his name as her hands move around his neck and one hand caring his nape...
'Happy Anniversary my love...' Armaan whisper, kissing on her soft spot making Riddhima breath heavy and heartbeat faster...
'Happy... Anniversary...' Riddhima whisper back as she try to control her heartbeat...
'I love you... Love you very very very much...' Armaan said being lost in Riddhima as he continue showering kisses on her bare shoulder-line and collar bone...

Riddhima wasn't able to reply him back as he was busy showering kisses on her, Armaan was too lost in her that he didn't realized Riddhima reply him back but his heart could feel her love for him so at the moment, he didn't need to hear those words from her...

Being lost in her, Armaan move further down to her chest when Riddhima jerk back to reality and stop him holding his hand as Armaan try to pull down the comforter... Riddhima face turn red realizing that she wasn't wearing any cloth, Armaan who was busy romancing frown when his moment was break by Riddhima...

Armaan move out to look Riddhima face which has turn crimson, for a second Armaan forgot why she stop him seeing her beautiful natural glowing face... Riddhima has her eyes still closed and a shy smile on her lips, she could feel Armaan strong gaze on her face but she couldn't open her eyes feeling shyness taking over their closeness...

When Riddhima didn't open her eyes, Armaan lower his face close to her as their breath mingle making Riddhima heart miss a beat feeling his hot breath kissing her lips... As Riddhima was holding Armaan one hand which was on the comforter, he move his other hand on her cheek, caring it softly as if asking her to open her eyes so he could look in deep of those beautiful orbs...

Feeling Armaan soft touch, Riddhima slowly open her eyes letting it meet with Armaan gorgeous and attractive one... Riddhima felt their surrounding fades the moment her eyes met with his as it has the power of making her forget the world when she is with him...
'Kyun rokha...???' Armaan asked without breaking their eye lock...
'Armaan... Woh...' Riddhima didn't understand what to say...
'Kitni baar dekh chuka hun tumhe bina kapdon ki, phir bhi har baar tum aise sharmate ho ki pehli baar hai...' Armaan said caring her cheek with his thumb making her heart bang on her chest harder...
'Armaan...' Riddhima whisper his name, breaking the eye lock...
'Mat rokha karo...' Armaan said moving his thumb on her lower lips...
'Raat koh toh nehi rokha na...' Riddhima said looking at his eyes...
'Phir din mein kyun rokh rahe ho...???' Armaan asked...
'Armaan please... Tum tak te nehi ho...???' Riddhima asked...
'Nehi, tum tak gayi...???' Armaan asked...
'Puri raat tumhare dil nehi bara na, jo subah bhi shuru hogaye...' Riddhima said...
'Kaise dil barte, tumne bhi toh apni pyar dikhane se hesitate nehi huva toh ab kiya huva...???'Armaan said...
'Woh toh raat ti toh...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan...
'Raat hai toh, din mein kiya badhal jaate hai...' Armaan asked...
'Armaan... Kyun tang kar rahe ho, tum jaante ho na raat mein andhera hota hai aur subah...'Riddhima stop as she look away from Armaan as her cheeks color started to turn darker again...

Armaan smile realizing why Riddhima always stop him in morning, before he didn't think about it but when now she has open with the reason Armaan couldn't help but again fall in love with this innocent beauty in his arms...
'Din ho ya raat, pyar toh har waqt humhare dharmiya hai... Subah ki roshni aur raat ke andhera, yeh waqt humhare pyar ke witness hona chahiyeh, time is not important for us to show our love to each other... Bas hum dono koh ek dusre ke paas hona chahiyeh...' Armaan said...
'Jaanti hun Armaan...' Riddhima said...
'Phir rokha mat karo mujhe, bas pyar karo aur mujhe pyar karne doh...' Armaan said sealing her lips...

Riddhima smile to the kiss and respond equally as they let themselves get drown in each other love, letting everything else a side, Riddhima let Armaan shower his love while she equally shower her love on him... Very well knowing she was under his charm, Armaan pull the comforter and soon he was inside it with Riddhima...

Riddhima gasp feeling Armaan warm body touch her bare curves, their legs were mingle as Armaan warm palm started to move on her figure making the fire burn in her body... Deeps the kiss as he move his tongue inside her mouth letting it fight with her tongue, Armaan slowly move his fingers sensually on her hips...

Armaan break the kiss when his fingers touch those cut in her skin, Riddhima who was enjoy the kiss frown when Armaan sudden stop responding... Riddhima move out, trying to understand what happen when she felt Armaan fingers caring her hips over the mark...

Riddhima felt her heart race as she look at Armaan expression, which was lost but his eyes shows the unconditional love when his mind register what Riddhima has done for him... Armaan knows it must have pain her a lot and she has manage to hide it from him till the previous night...

Armaan never know till last night, how much crazier his wife could be to let him know how much he means for her... Somewhere, Armaan had a feeling that she couldn't have done it alone but she did it because she wants him to believe that no matter what, she would always be named as his soul, no one else...


FLASHBACK START,
PREVIOUS NIGHT


After a long drive, Armaan and Riddhima reach back to the hotel... Smile wasn't leaving from their lips as just few minutes were left to start their Anniversary... They move to their suite and the moment Riddhima enter, she was left rooted seeing the decoration...

Just in a few hours, the whole room was changed as it was decorated with wine red and black cloths, rose petals on the floor like a phase which leads to the bed which has a red silk bed-sheet and black covers on the pillows as it was neatly arrange near the head board... Candles were every corner of the room giving a dim light, making the atmosphere romantic...

Armaan who purposely stood back letting Riddhima move in first, came behind her after locking the door knowing how her reaction would be to see the decoration... Armaan smile and hugs her from behind as their day start being in each other arms...
'Happy Anniversary my love...' Armaan whisper close to her ear, resting his chin on her bare shoulder...

Riddhima who was lost seeing the decoration came to reality hearing Armaan voice, huge smile form on her lips as she turn around and hugs him tight making Armaan surprise with the sudden hug... Big smile form on Armaan lips but next second he felt his heart miss a beat feeling Riddhima lips on his bare chest...

Riddhima was very happy to see how much affect Armaan was putting to make every single moment beautiful and bless for her, for them... Being happy, Riddhima didn't know how her shyness vanished and end up kissing his chest which was visible as he has left first three buttons undone...
'Happy Anniversary...' Riddhima wish him back as she slowly rubbed her nose on his bare chest being lost in him...

Armaan was enjoying her touch as it happens rarely that Riddhima show her love without being shy, feeling Riddhima lips moving on his bare chest sending current through his veins waking his desire... Armaan move his hands on her bare shoulder to arms, sensually making goosebumps raise in her skin...

Their breath started to get heavy feeling the desire waking as the pleasure raise in their body to feel each other body... Riddhima move out looking at Armaan face, passions were in their eyes as Armaan also look at her when she move a little away but still being in his arms...

Riddhima's both hand were on his back as Armaan one hand was around her waist and other hand move up to her face, caring her cheek softly making Riddhima closed her eyes feeling the pleasure of his touch... Riddhima lips parted as she felt her heartbeat got fasted, her fingers dig in Armaan back as she pull him closed to her with her softness touching his hard-rock chest...

Armaan who was admiring her beautiful face features being lost in her, his eyes fell on her parted lips... As their desire were on fire, Armaan just cupped her cheek and seal her lips, taking her in to soft kiss as he slowly sucks her lower lips making Riddhima gasp with his warm lips moving on her soft ones...

As Armaan kiss her and she didn't respond, Armaan softly care her cheeks making her shiver... Armaan knows Riddhima was lost in him but feeling Armaan fingers slowly moving on her cheek, Riddhima started to respond as she suck his upper lips...

They kiss each other, sucking and chewing their lips as they switch it... When they got enough of each other lips, Armaan push his tongue inside her mouth making Riddhima moan as Armaan sucks her tongue, exploring every corner of her mouth...

Their hands were moving on each other bodies and Riddhima break the kiss being out of breath... Riddhima move out but Armaan didn't let her move further as he hold her in his arms... Both stood looking at each other as their try to control their fast heartbeats and breath...
'Mera gift...???' Armaan asked when his breath was normal...
'Kiya chahiyeh...???' Riddhima asked...
'Waise toh sab kuch hai mere paas aur tum bhi... Lekin main chaahta hun, tum aisa kuch karo ki mujhe zindagi bar yakeen ho ki tum sirf mere ho aur tumpar sirf mera hak hai...' Armaan said...
'Done...' Riddhima said putting her hands around his neck...
'Really...???' Armaan asked...
'Kyun...??? Believe nehi hota...???' Riddhima asked...
'Ab tumne kaha hai toh believe karta hun...' Armaan said...
'Puchenge nehi, kiya karengi...???' Riddhima asked...
'Tumhi bata doh...' Armaan said resting his hands on her hips...
'Nehi...' Riddhima said...
'Kyun...???' Armaan asked...
'Batane mein maza kaha jo dikhane mein aati hai...' Riddhima said winking at him as she move out from his hold...
'Matlab...???' Armaan ask taking steps towards Riddhima...
'Abhi pata chaljaenge...' Riddhima said moving back seeing Armaan moving towards her...
'Itni dur se...???' Armaan asked...
'Paas hokar dekhna hai...???' Riddhima asked...

Armaan nodded his head as he step towards her while Riddhima keep moving back... Soon Riddhima back hit on the wall as Armaan stood blocking her with his hands on the wall... Riddhima smile very well knowing he was eagerly waiting for her to show what she could do for him...

Riddhima look deep in his eyes very well knowing it would make him loose himself in her, as expected when Armaan look in her eyes, he was being cage in her charm... Riddhima move her one hand on his cheek making Armaan lost his sense feeling her delicate fingers...

Seeing Armaan lost in her, Riddhima move her lips close to his ear moving it sensually on his earlobe... Armaan one hand automatically move on her hips letting their bodies touched... Very well knowing Armaan was under her control, Riddhima kiss on his neck...
'Make me yours, you will get what you wish...' Riddhima whisper slowly...

Armaan who has totally lost his sense with Riddhima touch, follow her words as she move away, he capture her lips in to passionate kiss... Riddhima moan as she felt his hard chest pressing on her soft ones, as their desire once again was back on fire...

As they were lost in the kiss, Riddhima hold Armaan hand and lead it move in her dress as it was raise from left side which has the cut on the dress... True Armaan mind was not fully in his control but he could understand what Riddhima wants him to do so he took the charge and move his hand under her dress on her hips...

Armaan was about to move his hand on her back when he felt some cut on Riddhima hip, Armaan thought not to give much attention but Riddhima break the kiss as she hold his hand there... Armaan was surprise not understand what Riddhima was trying to tell him...
'Tum chaahte ho na, main aisa kuch karun jo tumhe yakeen ho ki main sirf tumhara hun aur sirf tumhara hak hai mujhpe...' Riddhima said...

Armaan nodded his head as his mind keep wondering how could she prove it, smiling to his not sure expression Riddhima make Armaan sit on his knee by holding his shoulder so he would be on her hips level... Riddhima wait for Armaan to move the dress and have a look but when he kept staring at her face, Riddhima smile knowing he still wasn't sure...
'Paas dekhna haina, dekhlo...' Riddhima said as a shy smile form in her lips...
'Kiya...???' Armaan asked...
'Jo tumhe yakeen dilae ki main tumhara hun aur mujhpar sirf tumhara hak hai...' Riddhima said as her hands rest on his shoulder and she try to control her blushing...
'Yaha pe...???' Armaan asked still not understanding what she wants to show him there, on her hips...

Riddhima nodded her head as she bite her lower lips, trying to control the color forming on her cheeks... Seeing her expression, Armaan understood that she must have done something that he wouldn't have expected... So without waiting, he move up her dress and look at the area were his hands were to be left shocked...

There it was cut out his name on her soft cream skin with black ink, a red heart in the end of his name... Unknowingly, tears form in his eyes seeing those letters which shows that it was permanent... Not believing his eyes, Armaan look towards Riddhima who gave her best smile making him believe it was true...

Armaan move his eyes back on the letters and being happy, he place his lips on her skin making Riddhima feel weak on her knee feeling Armaan warm lips... Riddhima move her one hand on his hair, caring it softly as Armaan linger his lips on her skin as if he was trying to take the pain she must have gone through while getting it ink in her body...

Armaan reaction and expression give Riddhima answer to her unspoken question... Riddhima bend and kiss Armaan forehead as he was still sit on his knee, feeling Riddhima lips Armaan look up and stood having tears of happiness in his eyes...
'Mere ruh pe, meri jism pe, meri har saans, meri har dhadkan pe sirf tumhara hak hai Armaan...'Riddhima said cupping his face with her palms...
'Yeh tumne...???' Armaan was lost of words...
'Tumhare liye kiya, mujhe samajh nehi aa rahi ti kiya dun tumhe... Issiliye maine tumhare naam apne jism mein likh diya...' Riddhima said...
'Bohot dard huva na...???' Armaan said...
'Itna dard toh tumhare liye sehen karhi sakti hun...' Riddhima said...
'I love you...' Armaan said hugging her...
'I love you too Armaan... I love you a lot...' Riddhima said hugging him back, hiding herself in his arms...


FLASHBACK END


'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name seeing his lost expression...
'Mujhe abhi bhi yakeen nehi ho raha, tumne mere liye yeh tatooo karwaya...' Armaan said...
'I know, pehle main bhi sure nehi ta lekin kuch aur samajh nehi aaya... Toh socha, yeh bhi karke dekhti hun...' Riddhima said...
'Itna pyar karti ho mujhse...???' Armaan asked
'Koi shak...???' Riddhima asked...
'Is tatoo koh dekhne ke baad...??? Nahhh...' Armaan said hiding his face back on her neck...

Riddhima smile as Armaan again got busy showering her kisses but their moment was disturb by Armaan mobile... Armaan groan but remembering something, he move out and took the mobile quickly answering it... Riddhima laid, looking at him seeing how he got busy with the call...

When Armaan finished the call and move out from the bed leaving Riddhima alone, she frown thinking who dare to disturb their morning romance... For the first time in two years, Riddhima didn't like the fact that Armaan left her in between their romance...
'Kaha jaa rahe ho...???' Riddhima asked seeing Armaan quickly putting his t.shirt...
'Woh mujhe Manager se milna hai, tum fresh hojao... Main bas abhi aata hun...' Armaan said...
'Kyun...???' Riddhima asked...
'Arey woh aajke plan ke baare mein confirm karna hai... Tum shower le lo, tab tak main aajaunga...'Armaan said quickly leaving without giving Riddhima a chance to ask any more question...

Riddhima stay on the bed with not a happy face as Armaan left like that, after sometimes she went to take a warm shower before Armaan comes hoping that rest of the day, they would get all the time to spend with each other but she wasn't aware of the arrangement Armaan has done for them...


45 MINUTES LATER


Riddhima was having her breakfast alone as Armaan has finished his while Riddhima was taking a warm shower, she was surprise to see he didn't even wait for her... When Riddhima question Armaan why he was in so much hurry that he didn't even wait for her to have breakfast, Armaan answer her telling that he needs to leave...

Wondering what Armaan was up to, Riddhima was lost as she eat her food when someone ring the bell... As Armaan was in washroom, Riddhima left to check who must have come and for what she open the door to see two girls standing...
'Yes...???' Riddhima asked...
'Mrs. Mallik...???' One girl asked...
'Yes, that's me...' Riddhima said...
'We are here to get you ready, Mr. Mallik has make a appointment for you...' The same girl said...
'Mr. Mallik...???' Riddhima said wondering why Armaan has call those girls...

Just than Armaan came out from the washroom, Riddhima look towards him when he called her asking who has come... Riddhima was glad that Armaan was wearing his cloths and seeing the girls, Armaan move towards them...
'Right on time, thank you so much...' Armaan said as he greet them...
'It's our job Sir, should we start...???' Girl asked...
'Yeah sure, come in...' Armaan said letting them in...

All this time, Riddhima stood not understanding what was happening... Why Armaan has call them and now he let them inside without caring to explain her what was happening... When they move inside, Armaan look at Riddhima who just stood staring at him...
'Arey, tum yaha kyun khade ho... Jaao aur tayyar hojao, yeh log tumhe tayyar karne aayi hai...'Armaan said...
'Mujhe kyun...??? Main khud tayyar hojaati na...' Riddhima said...
'Ufff kitna sawal karte ho tum Riddhima, maine kaha na tayyar hojao toh bas tayyar hojao... Main tumhe doh gante mein lene aata hun, mujhe abhi kuch kaam hai... Aur haan, tohdi der mein dress bhi aajaenge... Tum woh pehenke, mera wait karo ok...' Armaan said...
'Lekin Armaan, iski kiya zarurat...???' Riddhima said...
'Kyun zarurat nehi hai, aaj itna special day hai... Tumhe acche se tayyar hona padega, tabhi main tumhe surprise dikhane lekar jaunga...' Armaan said...
'Kiya plan kiya hai tumne Armaan...???' Riddhima asked...
'Phirse sawal... Jaldi karo, nehi toh surprise cancel...' Armaan said taking her towards the mirror as the girls was ready to do their magic on her...

Leaving Riddhima with the girls who are beauticians, Armaan left to see the other arrangement giving the privacy they would need to make Riddhima ready... Not having another option, Riddhima let the girls make her ready as she wait for the two hours to past so she would get to know about the surprise Armaan has plan...

'Kiya kar rahe ho Nikki, mujhe beitne dena yaha...' Muskaan said as she push her a little while sitting her left side while Anjali sit on her right side with Anjul in her lap...

'Main hi ut jaati hun, tum dono toh utne se nehi...' Anjali said...
'Bhabhi, aap beit jao... Teenon ke jhaga hai, hum araam se beit sakte hai...' Nikki said...
'Haan Anjy, beito...' Muskaan said...
'Tum toh aise bol rahe ho jaise tum nehi karte toh main beitungi nehi...' Anjali said...
'Arey, main toh issiliye bola kyunki main jaanti hun tum waha se dekhna chahti hai...' Muskaan said...
'Tumhari tarah nehi hai Anjy, jo kahin aur beit ke na dekh sakte...' Sapna said...
'Dekh Sapz...' Muskaan was cut by Sapna...
'Dekh liya, ab rehne de tu...' Sapna said...
'How rude, abhi dekha kaha tu ne... Abhi dikhati hun na main acche se, tu rukh...' Muskaan said as she stood up to hit Sapna when she purposely irritate her...

Anjali shake her head knowing if she didn't stop them, they could continue it forever... As they had all come because they were called to be there today for some programmed... No one knows what was it about, they have no option but to wait till it start so before the fight go further between Muskaan and Sapna, Anjali took the matter under control...
'Muski, tu waha se uti toh main Mom ya Ananya mom koh bolungi waha beit ne ko...' Anjali said knowing Muskaan wouldn't want to loose the place...
'Main kyun utungi...' Muskaan said sitting back quickly...
'Mujhe maarne ke liye, aur kiya...' Sapna said...
'Tujhe baad mein dekhlungi...' Muskaan said...
'Abhi dekhna, kisne mana kiya...' Sapna said...
'Bas karo dono, Ridzy nehi hai toh ab tum dono shuru hogayi... What's wrong with you Muski, tu har kissi ke saath bas jhagda hi karte ho...' Anjali said scolding Muskaan...
'Mujhe kyun bol rahe ho, Sapz ne start kiya...' Muskaan said...
'Sahi kaha aapne bhabhi...' Nikki said...
'Haan haan, tum toh unki side lenge...' Muskaan said...
'Bas karo bacchon, kitna ladte ho...' Ananya said coming with Padma as they got drinks for all...
'Dad kaha hai mom...' Nikki asked not seeing Billy...
'Kamre mein hai, aajaaenge...' Ananya said checking the time...
'Atul or Rahul kaha hai...???' Sapna asked...
'Abhimaniyu bhi nehi aaya ab tak...???' Anjali asked...

Just than the boys came laughing about something, girls and both mothers look towards them wondering what was so funny that they were laughing like that... Ananya and Padma sit on one couch, two single couch were left for Billy and Shashank who would be joining them soon...

Seeing no place were for them, boys sit on the floor resting their back on their partners leg... Muskaan ask what happen that they were laughing, Atul narrate what happen when they were coming as they had left to get something which Ananya asked them to bring for her...
'It's almost time...' Atul announce checking the time...
'Kissi koh pata hai yeh programmed suddenly kyun...???' Rahul asked...
'Jaisa humein kaha, waisa humne kiya... Bas dekhna padega, nehi toh kuch pata nehi chalega...'Nikki said...
'Kuch toh hint milna chahiyeh...' Muskaan said...
'Aunty koh pata hogi shayad...' Sapna said looking towards Ananya...
'I have no idea beta...' Ananya said when their attention were on her...

As they got busy thinking what was the programmed for, soon they were interrupt with a loud sound... They all look the screen ahead as a figure appear, bringing a huge smile on their face... Just than, Billy and Shashank also came to see the programmed has just started so they took the seats which was left for them without saying a word as they all had been eagerly waiting for this moment...


ARMAAN RIDDHIMA


Riddhima came out from the car as she look around hoping to see Armaan but when she couldn't spot him, she was left to wonder what was Armaan up to... Telling her to get ready, Armaan has left and never shown up till now but was left a MSG in her mobile asking her to wear the dress and come down where a car would be waiting for her to take the destination she is mean to be for the day...

Riddhima was shocked when she got the dress, she wasn't sure if it was the dress which Armaan has send because it look too royal to be wear in this hour of the day... That was when she got a MSG from Armaan telling her not to think too much and just wear it and come to meet him...

Finally when Riddhima reached the place where the driver told her that he was mean to drop her there, she came out to look for Armaan... The moment she realized where she was standing, she was surprise as her mind started to work to know the possible reason why Armaan ask the driver to drop her there...


ARMAAN POV START


Time was getting near, my heartbeat got fast as I saw the car stop where my lady love were mean to meet me... I know, Riddhima would be too busy thinking why I didn't went to get her here... Where I vanished without saying another word as she shoot several questions before I left her to get ready for the day...

I just want to see her in that dress and I know, she would look breathing taking like always and my words turn true when she step down from the car... Smile form in my lips as my eyes move on her dress which was making to her skin, she was just looking like a princess, my princess...

I stood in an area where she couldn't see me, I saw her looking around for me... I knew, first think she would do will be looking for me because nothing matters to her unless I m with her, by her side... I felt so happy that how much she loves me, how much she needs me...

Being in such a beautiful place, her eyes were looking for me without daring to look around her because just one look and I know, she will get a hint that what I have plan for her, for us... I saw her standing looking away from me as she has turn her face to the other side...

I couldn't help but look at the beautiful blush pink tulle bridal dress which has sexy off shoulder, long sleeve and it was backless... Simple necklace, earrings and bracelet as jewelry which match to her dress color while her hair was neatly done in curls braids... As the dress has a big long skirt, Riddhima was holding it as a bouquet flower just the way I wanted my princess to be ready for this special day...
