From The Time I Saw You - An AR FF -

Part 106

'Good morning mom...' Armaan greet Ananya as he came down...

'Good morning beta, nashta laga dun...???' Ananya asked as she was in the hall...

'Haan mom, dad kaha hai...???' Armaan asked not seeing Billy...

'Woh garden mein hai, kuch kaam tha...???' Ananya asked moving towards the kitchen...

'Nehi, aise hi pucha... Aapne nashta kiya...??? Aur dad...???' Armaan asked...

'Tumhe toh pata haina bacche, tumhare dad Sunday ke din bhi jaldi ut jate hai...' Ananya said as it was only 9 30 a.m...

By 8 a.m, Billy always wake up... It doesn't matter to him if its Sunday because he is used to wake up early and go to bed early too unless they plan to stay up late... So even Ananya also wake up early with Billy and they have breakfast together letting kids catch sleep till as late as they wish...

After Riddhima has come, sometimes they have breakfast together in Sunday's... Before that in Sunday, they make sure to have lunch together because they leave their bed in different time after a busy week in their respective works...

Still now they follow the rule, if they miss having breakfast together, they make sure to have lunch and spend their afternoon together watching a movie or play some outdoor game because Sunday is mean to be family day so no one would dare to make other plan till evening...

'Pata nehi dad koh itna energy kaha se aate hai...' Armaan said taking his place in dinning table...

'Galati se bhi uske saamne yeh mat bolna, phir shuru hojaenge aur kahenge kaise he is still fit than you...' Ananya said chuckling as she bring breakfast for Armaan from kitchen...

'Sach mein, I wonder jab baby aayenge toh usse kiya bhulwaenge...' Armaan said...

'I m sure usse bhi buddy hi bhulwaenge, usse apna image bohot pyaara hai...' Ananya said...

'Haan, woh kabhi yeh nehi maanenge woh old ho raha hai...' Armaan said...

'Kabhi nehi, by the way Riddhima kaha hai...???' Ananya asked...

'Shayad bohot zyada tak gayi hogi, abhi so rahi hai toh maine jhagaya nehi...' Armaan said...

'Haan lekin usko apni morning dose lena hota haina... Tum ek kaam karo, uske liye upar breakfast lejao aur khila de... Usse medicine lene mein der nehi karna chahiyeh...' Ananya said...

'Ok mom, aap kuch light sa bana doh...' Armaan said...

Just than they were disturb by Armaan mobile, he quickly check it to see it was from Padma... Wondering why she was calling him at this time, he answer it thinking maybe because Riddhima didn't answer her call that's why Padma was calling him...

'Good morning ma...' Armaan said...

'Good morning beta, kaise ho...???' Padma asked...

'Tik hun, aap kaise ho...???' Armaan asked...

'Acchi hun, Riddhima kaha hai...???' Padma asked...

'Woh so rahi hai abhi, kuch kaam tha aapko...???' Armaan asked...

'Haan lekin koi baat nehi, Ananya bhen hai aas paas...???' Padma asked...

'Mom yehi hai, wait main aapki baat karwati hun...' Armaan said giving his mobile to Ananya...

Ananya smile and took the mobile, soon she was talking with Padma while Armaan had his breakfast listening to one side conversation happening between two mothers... Armaan smile seeing how strong their bonding were and he was happy that how both family has bonded so well...

After sometimes, Ananya end the call and by than Armaan understood why Padma must have call them... Armaan knows his mother wouldn't be able to deny because it's not every day that they would get to spend time with the Gupta's and share meals together...

As Armaan had finished his breakfast, Ananya took the plates and bring breakfast for Riddhima... Armaan kiss on Ananya temple before holding the tray but Ananya stop him without letting go off the tray... Armaan look at her, asking question through his eyes...

'Lunch ke liye aaj Gupta Mansion jaana hai... I know evening mein humein Sapna ke ghar bhi jaana hai, but Padma bhen has invite for lunch toh maine mana nehi kiya...' Ananya said...

'It's fine mom, ek kaam karte hai... Hum doh gante mein nikalte hai, jaldi jaenge toh lunch ke baad hum waapas aa sakte hai... Un logo koh bhi bura nehi lagega, hum turan lunch ke baad nikla toh...' Armaan said...

'Tik hai, tum Riddhima koh breakfast kara doh... Main tab tak Billy koh bata deti hun aur hum ready hojaenge...' Ananya said...

'Ok mom...' Armaan said moving towards the stairs...

ARMAAN RIDDHIMA ROOM

Armaan walk in to see Riddhima still sleeping but she was curl like a ball, hugging herself... Armaan move to her side and kept the tray, than he check the time and turn to wake up Riddhima but was surprise to see the sweat-beans on her forehead...

Armaan thought she must be having a bad dream, so he move close to her and started to wipe the sweats as he slowly move his fingers on her forehead... Armaan was wondering what she must be dreaming, it kept making her sweats more as the time past and than she started to shake...

Armaan sit watching her for sometimes as her hand were pressing on her belly, he thought it was happening because of whatever dream she was seeing but he felt something fishy... When Riddhima started to groan as if she was in pain, still sweating and shaking, Armaan just couldn't sit watching her like that...

'Riddhima...' Armaan call her, caring her hair...

Armaan other hand was on the bed, behind Riddhima... Armaan eyes were on Riddhima face, trying to understand what was happening to her suddenly but he kept himself strong and try his best not to get panic because she needs him...

When Riddhima didn't open her eyes but Armaan knew now her sleep had got disturb, he kept caring her hair... Riddhima try her best not to let Armaan see her in this condition but the pain has started just few minutes ago, it happen to get worst and that was the moment Armaan enter the room...

Riddhima was awake a while ago but hearing footsteps outside the room, she pretend to be sleep hoping that whoever it was would leave seeing her sleeping... Only than her pain got worst and it was clearly shown from her face, that too when it happen to be that Armaan came to wake her for breakfast...

Riddhima knows it was no used to hide it from him, also she has asked doctor about the pain and she had inform that it happen with some people in early pregnancy so it's nothing to worry... Only she wish doctor understand that how much it hurts than she must have given her some painkiller...

It took sometimes and slowly the pain started to get less, Riddhima stop shaking and her breath got normal as she had been taking deep breaths to get relief from the pain which help her whenever she had the pain and she feel unbearable...

Armaan also felt relief seeing her condition getting better, he kept caring her hair letting her get back to normal before questioning her about the sudden change and what had happen... He was sure that she felt pain in somewhere but he wasn't aware which part...

'Jaan...' Armaan whisper her name...

Riddhima slowly open her eyes and give him a small smile, seeing her expression Armaan understood that the pain got unbearable for sometimes but now she was relief... He wait for her to sit up but again she closed her eyes and stay just like that without moving...

'Tum tik ho, doctor koh bhulaun...???' Armaan asked seeing her closing eyes...

'Nehi... Main tik... hun...' Riddhima said in broken sentence...

'Kaha dard ho raha hai jaan, mujhe batao...' Armaan asked...

'Tik hun ab...' Riddhima said opening her eyes...

'Phir bhi, ek baar doctor se...' Armaan said taking his mobile but Riddhima stop him...

Riddhima hold his hand, Armaan look towards her and she just shake her head in negative... Armaan wasn't sure and Riddhima could clearly read the unspoken words so she took his mobile and kept it away... Than she pull him a little, making him bend over her so their face were just few inch away...

Riddhima raise her head a little and gave him a lingering kiss on his chin because she wasn't able to reach his cheek... Armaan smile with her action but still he wasn't sure if they should let the matter ignore because he don't want to take any risk...

'Stay with me...' Riddhima whisper letting her head fall back on the pillow...

Riddhima didn't had to repeat again as Armaan slide next to her, pulling her close... Riddhima put her head on Armaan chest, her one hand still on her belly while other was around his waist, to hold him closed... Armaan both hands were around her back, moving it up and down to make her feel relax...

'At least batao, kaha dard ho raha hai jaan...' Armaan said after a silent moment...

'Stomach...' Riddhima said...

The moment that single word left from Riddhima mouth, she felt his warm fingers on her bare belly as he has manage to put it inside her t.shirt... Shiver run down her spine as he slowly move his fingers on her lower belly, trying to get her release from the pain...

Pain was long forgotten but his touch was making havoc in her body, making her heartbeat increase and breath got sharp... Riddhima shut her eyes tight to control her hormones which easily get difficult to keep under control whenever her husband is around...

Unaware that his touch was creating havoc in Riddhima, Armaan kept caring her lower belly and he kept leaving kisses on her forehead, trying to ease and make her comfortable... Riddhima snuggle close to him, letting her lips touch on his bare chest as he has as usual left his shirt first three button open...

With her lips on his bare skin, it make his heartbeat increase too but he control himself thinking that Riddhima was only trying to find her comfort in his arms... Riddhima also bite her lower lips to control her desire, as she inhale a deep breath and leave it before moving out knowing they can't let things go out of control...

Riddhima look at Armaan, who look down at her as they smile to each other... Seeing the beauty, that too after she has just woke up from her beautiful sleep, Armaan admire the angel in his arms... Both were lost in each other, admiring how the other is so perfect...

Armaan felt a warm in his heart seeing her looking much better, he really got very scared but seeing her calm expression now, he knows the pain is no longer there but he was still worried not knowing why she had the pain so suddenly...

Deciding to talk about it later, Armaan just press his lips on her, giving her a sweet peck... Just to feel her soft petals against his manly one, trying to remember how it taste... It was just a way to let her know that no matter what, he would always love her and she belongs to him...

Riddhima smile to the kiss and just let their lips connected until Armaan move back... She had clearly got the MSG behind that simple peck and she always adore those moment when they could pour out their feelings through those small moment they share...

Seeing Riddhima lost in the moment, Armaan put her hair off from shoulder, caring her nape making Riddhima shiver... He pull out his other hand which was on her belly and move it on her bare arm to feel goosebumps on her skin which was around his waist...

'Jaan, breakfast karlo...' Armaan said...

'Aapne ki...???' Riddhima asked...

'Haan, tum so rahi thi toh maine tumhe jhagaya nehi... Aur waise bhi aaj shaam koh toh tum rest nehi karpaenge, na noon mein...' Armaan said...

'Noon mein kyun nehi...???' Riddhima asked as she move out and sit up...

'Kyunki hum baahar jaa rahe hai issiliye...' Armaan said sitting up and taking the plate...

'Kaha...???' Riddhima asked...

'Aapke maike...' Armaan said forwarding the plate to her...

'Kyun...???' Riddhima ask taking the plate...

'Aapke mom ne lunch pe invite kiya hai...' Armaan said answering her...

'Lekin Armaan, Sunday ke din toh hum saath mein lunch karte haina...' Riddhima said taking bite from her sandwich...

'Ab ismein main kuch nehi kar skti madam...' Armaan said taking his hand up as if he surrender himself...

'Kyun nehi, aapne ma koh bataya nehi yaha hum saath mein lunch karte hai Sunday ke din...' Riddhima asked...

'Ab main kaise mana karte ma koh...' Armaan said...

'Lekin mom dad koh bura lagega na...' Riddhima said...

'Kyun lagega...???' Armaan asked...

'Niks bhi nehi hai, aur hum dono jaenge toh mom dad akele hojaenge na... Aur toh aur, aaj hum breakfast bhi saath mein nehi kiya... Yehi toh ek din milta hai hum sabko lunch saath mein karne koh...' Riddhima said...

Armaan smile seeing how she was thinking about Ananya and Billy, so he just pull Riddhima close making her sit in-between his legs... He hugs her and rest his chin on her shoulder as she continue eating breakfast send by her darling mother in law...

Riddhima look at Armaan face as she kept on munching the sandwich, Armaan chuckle seeing her expression very well knowing she was waiting for his answer... After marriage, she always take him and his parents as her first priority and he was proud to have her as his girl...

'Jaan, ma ne sabko invite kiya hai... Aur waise bhi, ma papa koh bhi apne pregnant beti ke liye kuch karne ka mann karega na... So to celebrate, they invite us to lunch...' Armaan said...

'Aap pehle nehi bol sakte aise...' Riddhima asked...

'Aapne bolne diya mujhe...???' Armaan asked kissing her shoulder...

'Armaan...' Riddhima said moving in his hold...

'Stay and finished your breakfast...' Armaan said holding her in the place...

'Disturb mat karo...' Riddhima said...

'Main kaha disturb kar raha hun...' Armaan said...

'Accha, toh yeh kiya kar rahe ho aap...' Riddhima asked...

'Main toh bas apne biwi se pyar kar raha hun...' Armaan said kissing her neckline...

'Armaan, mat karo na...' Riddhima said again moving in his hold feeling ticklish...

'Accha nehi karte, tum yeh sandwich khatam karo phir juice peena hai aur medicine bhi lena hai...' Armaan said...

'Kadwi...' Riddhima said...

'Ab medicine hai toh meeta toh hogi nehi na jaan...' Armaan said...

'Kyun nehi hote, isse toh accha hai bacchon ke liye jo medicine hota hai woh...' Riddhima said...

'Tumhe kaise pata woh accha hota hai...???' Armaan asked, raising his eyebrow...

'Don't get too much ideas Armaan, tum jab chota tha... Tum medicine nehi leta tha kiya jab bimar hote...???' Riddhima asked...

'Mujhe toh tab bhi aur ab bhi koi fark nehi lagte...' Armaan said...

'How boring. no wonder sab itna shock kyun hogaye jab logo koh pata chala aap shaadi karne wale ho...' Riddhima said...

'Really now...???' Armaan asked...

'Really, aap bachpan se boring jo tha...' Riddhima said...

'Accha...' Armaan asked...

'Haan...' Riddhima said giggling...

Armaan smile and let her finished her sandwich, than he took the empty plate and give her the glass of juice which she empty in just few sips... When she finished her juice and took medicine, Armaan pull her in his arms again...

Riddhima didn't protest and make herself comfortable in his arms, they talk about the function in evening and also about Nikki, how they were missing her and waiting for the gift to deliver her so they could reveal the surprise of Riddhima being pregnant..

2 HOURS LATER,

@GUPTA MANSION

'Ridzy, tu baahar jaakar beitna...' Anjali asked...

'Baahar main kiya karungi, aap teenon toh yehi ho...' Riddhima said as she sit holding a plate of fruit...

Padma and Anjali were making lunch, Ananya also joins them to help as she don't want to sit out with the gents... As they had another hour or so before lunch, Ananya make sure that mean time Riddhima has something because she had a light breakfast...

Anjul was with Atul and Armaan, where else Shashank and Billy were busy watching some cricket match... No one let Riddhima do any work so she just sit on the counter and like a good girl was eating the fruits given by her mother in law... Armaan had come to check few minutes ago and left seeing that Ananya had already given Riddhima something to eat...

As the place were hot due to the stove being used continuously from half an hour, Anjali was asking Riddhima to go and sit in the hall with others because it might make her feel uneasy but Riddhima being stubborn, wasn't ready to leave the kitchen without any of them...

'Bacchi, bohot garmi ho rahi hai yaha... Tum tohdi der baahar jaakar beito...' Padma said...

'Main tik hun ma...' Riddhima said...

'Mom, aap kaise isko handle karte ho... Kitna nakra dikhate hai...' Anjali asked Ananya...

'Jaise ek ma apni beti koh handle karte hai waise, aur meri bacchi toh mujhe pareshan nehi karti...' Ananya said looking at Riddhima...

'See, bas aap dono koh lagta hai main nakra dikhati hun... Sirf mom hi mujhse pyar karte hai, love you mom...' Riddhima said hugging Ananya as she move down from the counter...

'Love you too baccha...' Ananya said...

'Haan aap hi is nakre wali ladki koh sambhalo...' Padma said hitting Riddhima head on back playfully...

They smile seeing how Ananya side Riddhima and how much Riddhima also love her mother in law... Just than Atul came holding Anjul and he was crying... Riddhima being the only one without any work, move forward and took Anjul from Atul...

'Ridzy, Anjul koh feeder se milk de do and please can u put him to sleep..???' Anjali said...

'Ok Di, chalo meri Rajkumar... Maashi ke shaath ninni kalte hai...' Riddhima said nuzzling his small nose...

Usually Anjul will stop crying being in Riddhima arms but it seems that he was too sleepy to be comfort by his aunt... So Riddhima quickly took him out from the kitchen and move to Anjali room which she used before marriage...

Still their rooms were left the way it was before their marriage for them to used whenever they come their parents house as it was mean to be theirs forever after their marriage too... So they used their respective room whenever they are in Gupta Mansion...

When Riddhima took Anjul, Armaan and Atul also joins Billy and Shashank as they all got busy watching the cricket match while the ladies were busy in cooking... It didn't take much time for them to finished and soon they were arranging the table...

After that they went to fresh up and after 15 minutes, they joins the gents... Gents were still lost in the match that they didn't realized it was past 1 p.m... Few minutes were left for the match to end so ladies thought not to disturb them until it finished...

20 minute later, Armaan and Atul scream with happiness when India won... Anjali was busy in her mobile while Padma and Ananya were busy in their own discussion... When the match end, Padma asked them to fresh up and have lunch because it was past 1 : 30 p.m now...

'Riddhima kaha hai...???' Armaan asked...

'Woh Anjul koh solate solate sogayi, toh maine disturb nehi kiya...' Anjali said...

'Anjali, tum usko jaakar utao...' Padma said...

'Main uta deti hun ma...' Armaan said...

'Tik hai beta...' Padma said moving to the dinning area with Ananya...

Anjali also smile and let Armaan wake his wife, she got busy with her mobile as the gents left to fresh up... Armaan move to Anjali room knowing Riddhima must be there as Anjali mention how she fall asleep while putting Anjul to sleep...

Armaan slowly open the door and peep inside to see Riddhima on the bed with Anjul cuddling in her arms... Armaan couldn't help but smile as Anjul small hands were around Riddhima waist, Riddhima one hand under him and other one carelessly resting on his hip...

It was a perfect moment and Armaan quickly capture it in his mobile before moving close to the bed to wake Riddhima... Armaan sit on Riddhima side and kiss her temple as he slowly care her cheek... Riddhima push his hand away making Armaan smile but he continue to move his hand slowly on her cheek...

Riddhima frown and slowly open her eyes to see Armaan looking down at her, she close her eyes again but change the position as she turn and face Armaan... Leaving Anjul, Riddhima move her head on Armaan lap and put her hands around his torso...

Armaan couldn't help but chuckle, very well knowing that Riddhima has no plan to wake up any sooner... He wasn't amaze to see how she had been sleeping for long hours because she needs to rest as much as she can... Armaan move his hand on her hair but he knows everyone was waiting for them to have lunch...

'Jaan uto...' Armaan said...

'Itni jaldi...' Riddhima asked moving back on bed...

'Sab wait kar rahi hai lunch ke liye...' Armaan said...

'Hmm, aap jao... Main aati hun...' Riddhima said...

'Saath mein chale...' Armaan said...

Riddhima smile and look at Anjul, then slowly move out from the bed and put pillow on the place were she was laying... Than she move to the washroom and came out to see still Armaan waiting for her... Looking at Anjul once before leaving, Riddhima hold Armaan hand and both move out, closing the door slowly...

Lunch was a loud affair in Gupta Mansion that day, usually it would be just Shashank and Padma... Sometimes Anjali and Atul would joins them but mostly they would also prefer to have lunch in their respective house with each other after work days...

Shashank and Padma took the charge of making Riddhima eat anything she craves, others enjoy the delicious foods and watch Riddhima being pampered by her parents... Everyone single person have best smiles on their face and pray in their hearts to keep their families and love ones always happy...

EVENING,

@SAPNA HOUSE

'Kaha ho yaar...???' Sapna asked as she was sitting in front of the mirror...

Guests has started to come and her friends were nowhere to be seen, they all decide to get ready in their respective house but at least the girls were meant to be there by now but it seems like they were also taking their time to get ready...

Just few minutes ago, the beauticians has left after making sure that Sapna were looking breath taking for the special day of her life... Wearing a shade of blue designer cord embroidery lehenga choli, matching earrings and single bangle on right wrist she was just looking pretty...

SAPNA DRESS

Sapna look towards the mirror, checking herself as she move her fingers on her open hair... Unlike, she had let the beautician done a little more make up than she usually put as it was her engagement and she was mean to look different yet beautiful...

'Oye, badak kyun rahe ho... Poch raha hun yaar, thand rakh...' Muskaan said from the other side...

'Ridz bhi nehi aayi, aur tu bhi late... Ridz ki toh samajh aati hai, lekin tujhe toh ab tak meri paas hona chahiyeh Muski... Do best friend hone ki bhi kiya faida, meri special day pe ek bhi meri paas nehi hai...' Sapna said complaining...

'Not bad darling, humhare saath rehkar tu bhi acche se blackmail karna seekh gayi... Chal abhi, paach minute mein poch rahi hun...' Muskaan said...

'U better make it quick, I need you yaar...' Sapna said...

'Rona nehi, make up kharab hojaenge toh main waha jaake teri make up tik nehi karne wali...' Muskaan said...

'Nehi ro rahi, aaja jaldi...' Sapna said...

'Haan Sapz, aa rahi hun bas...' Muskaan said...

Sapna cut the call, smiling as it did make her feel better after talking to Muskaan... She was so nervous as if she was getting engage to some unknown guy... When her heart remind her that it was the person she loves and who loves her back, slowly she started to get calm...

Sapna check the time and sigh thinking where others must be, she stood up and was about to move towards the door when it fly open... Anjali walk in, holding her lehenga carefully as she gave Sapna her best smile... Sapna also move ahead and both hugs each other as Sapna look how beautiful Anjali were looking in that lehenga choli...

Mesmerising navy designer embroidered velvet lehenga choli with baby pink net dupatta were neatly around her body as she carried it perfectly... She has put her hair in to a loose bun with long earrings and one hands filled with bangles... Also she wore ring which she never remove after her engagement...

ANJALI DRESS

Sapna smile seeing how perfectly Anjali has manage her body after pregnancy, if anyone meet her for the first time, they wouldn't believe that she is a mother of six months old baby... Anjali is always conscious with her body but they had seen how Atul had make her eat without listening to her protest...

'Lagta hai aaj meri nehi, tumhari sagai hai...' Sapna said...

'Please Sapna, aisa kuch nehi hai... U r looking more beautiful than me...' Anjali said...

'Nehi, aap bhi bohot beautiful lag rahe ho...' Sapna said...

'Thank you, waise Muskaan and Ridzy nehi aayi...???' Anjali asked looking around...

'Muski bas aa rahi hai, aur Ridz... Aajaenge, araam se...' Sapna said...

'I m so glad, Ridz ke paas tum jaise dost hai jo usse itni acche se samajhte hai...' Anjali said...

'Woh bhi toh humein kitni acche se samajhte hai, aur zarurat ke waqt hamesha ek sacchi dost ke tarah saath dete hai...' Sapna said...

'Yeh baat toh tumne bilkul sahi kaha, woh sabse bohot pyar karte hai...' Anjali said...

'I know, waise Anjul or Jiju kaha hai...???' Sapna asked...

'Woh neeche hai, main bas tumse milne aayi... Dekhna tha, humhari Sapna kaise lag rahi hai...' Anjali said...

Sapna smile as Anjali look at her from head to toe, Anjali compliment her as she was looking beautiful... As neither Muskaan or Riddhima has come yet, Anjali took the opportunity and she asked Sapna to take some photos which she happily agree... Soon both were posing making different expression and laughing as they wait for the girls and Amit to come...

DOWNSTAIRS,

IN HALL

Muskaan was waiting at the entrance for Rahul to come after parking the car, she look inside to see few guests has already arrived... She look at her saree and started to correct it, making sure it was in there right place so she wouldn't trap over it...

Muskaan sigh as she was sure that it wouldn't mess up and look ahead, searching for Rahul as few guests make their way in to the house greeting her with a smile and nod... Muskaan greet them, returning their smile as she patiently wait for Rahul...

'Kaha mar gaye, Sapz already wait kar rahi hai aur yeh hai ki... Park karne mein itna time lagta hai kiya...' Muskaan murmuring under her breath, cursing Rahul for taking time...

'Gaali de rahe ho mujhe...???' Rahul asked, suddenly coming in front of her from nowhere...

'Mann toh kar raha hai tujhe ek dun, lekin ghar par nehi haina... Issiliye gaali se kaam chala rahi hun...' Muskaan said grinning, controlling her anger...

'Bachgaye...' Rahul said...

Muskaan glare at him and pull him with her, holding his arm... Rahul control his smile as they move inside, they spot Atul with Anjul so they join them... Atul compliment Muskaan, as she wore a sea green and some other color net saree with silver border... Minimum make up, matching earrings which increased her beauty as she left her hair open on one shoulder...

MUSKAAN DRESS

'Thanks Atul, Anjy kaha hai...???' Muskaan asked...

'Woh Sapna ke paas gayi hai...' Atul said...

'Accha, waise tum bhi bohot handsome lag rahe ho...' Muskaan said...

'Mujhe toh kissi ne compliment nehi diya, lucky you buddy...' Rahul said...

'Compliment paane ke liye, dusron koh compliment dena padta hai Mr. Garewal... Main Sapz se milke aati hun, hero aur Ridz nehi aayi...???' Muskaan asked...

'Abhi nehi, aata hi hoga...' Atul said...

Pinching Anjul cheek softly, Muskaan left to meet Sapna... On the way she met Sapna mother, who happily welcome and hugs her making her blush as she praise the glowing on her face after marriage... Rahul stood with Atul but his eyes were on his wife, who blush for something Sapna mother mention...

Atul was trying to hold Anjul as he was trying to move down on the floor not wanting to be in his father arms all night... When Atul was having difficult, he thought to move out to show the lights outside so Anjul would get distract and wouldn't try to move down from his arm...

Atul look towards Rahul and seeing him lost, he look the direction were Rahul eyes were focus... Atul shake his head not being able to understanding his friend because he never leave a moment to fight with Muskaan but still there were so much love between them...

True, their fights is the symbol of their love and it was prove when they finally decided to get married... Still its unable to believe for him and their friends, they are married but they never let go of their old behavior and continue to be like before which keep their relation strong...

'Jab mann karhi raha hai ke usko bole woh kitna sundar lag rahi hai toh kyun bechari koh thang karte ho...' Atul said trying to catch Rahul attention...

'hah...???' Rahul asked not hearing a word which Atul said...

'Maine kaha, kyun jhagda karte ho uske saath...' Atul said...

'Din complete nehi hote usse bina lade...' Rahul said winking at Atul...

'Bhai, tera kuch nehi ho sakta...' Atul said making his way out...

'Oye, tu kaha jaa rahe ho...???' Rahul asked...

'Yeh ek jhaga shaant nehi hote, issiliye baahar lights dikhane jaa raha hun... Aaja tu bhi, ladkiya toh ab Amit ke aane ke baad aayenge neeche...' Atul said...

'Hum log toh aagaye, abhi tak Amit koh bhi toh aajana chahiyeh na...???' Rahul asked checking the time...

'Aajaenge, tu kyun itna bechain ho rahe ho...' Atul asked...

'Maine toh bas aise hi pucha...' Rahul said...

Both guys move out to the garden area so they could show the lights outside around the house to Anjul in good view... They were wearing matching Sherwani to their respective partners dress... Atul was wearing a navy blue button up Sherwani, while Rahul wore a sea green Sherwani with gold border...

ATUL SHERWANI

RAHUL SHERWANI

For a moment Anjul forgot that he wanted to move down but once he got bored, again he try to get down... As Atul can't let his feet touch the ground, he make him stand on his shoes and walk around making Anjul excited thinking that he was on the ground and walking...

Rahul stood in a distance as they talk about the arrangement and waiting for the function to start... It was 6 30 p.m and they have another hour before the function as they were inform that the ring exchange would take place at 7 30 p.m, because it was the perfect time...

So they walk around the garden for sometimes, they move in after sometimes to check Amit has already come and Sapna were also by his side with Anjali and Muskaan... Armaan and Riddhima were still nowhere to be seen means they haven't reached...

First Atul and Rahul congratulate Amit Sapna, Anjul make Anjali take him in her embrace, as he snuggle on his mother chest... Anjul got attention of few guests around as they came to bless the smallest guest in the function, he was the attention seeker for the evening...

'Anjy, Ridz koh phone karke pucho...' Sapna told Anjali...

'Haan bohot der hogayi na, main call karti hun...' Anjali said...

'I hope woh engagement se pehle aajaae...' Sapna said...

'Tu tension mat le, aajaenge... Woh apni best friend ke engagement miss nehi karenge...' Muskaan said...

'She better not take too much time...' Sapna said...

'Thand rakh, ho hi nehi sakte woh na aaye...' Muskaan said...

'Muskaan is right Sapna, Riddhima zarur aayenge...' Amit said holding Sapna hand...

Sapna smile and cover their joint hand with her free hand, Muskaan tease them but neither of them move their hands and continue sitting like that... Amit compliment Sapna the moment she had come down with Anjali and Muskaan... Also Muskaan compliment Amit, who was looking dashing in a design Sherwani, which match to Sapna dress...

AMIT SHERWANI

Anjali join them back after calling Armaan, she inform them that Armaan said they will reach in few minutes... As they have time till to exchange the ring, Atul and Rahul got drinks for the girls as they enjoy the function with slow music playing in the background...

MALLIK MANSION,

@ARMAAN RIDDHIMA ROOM

'Arrghhh...' Riddhima groan in furious...

She was standing in front of the mirror, try to do the pleats of her saree but she was not able to do it properly... As she had been trying from last fifteen minutes, she got tired and irritated too... She check the time and it was almost 7 p.m, they need to reached as soon as possible...

Cursing for even deciding to wear a saree tonight, Riddhima just stood staring at herself in the mirror... That moment she felt to just change and put her most comfortable cloths... As her mood got off, she wish to hit the bed and sleep whole night without bothering anything else...

'Jaan, humein abhi...' Armaan said coming inside the room but stop seeing Riddhima expression...

Armaan look at her saree and understood that she wasn't happy because she had been trying to make perfect pleats from few minutes... Armaan was with her just few minute ago, to make her have something before they leave as it would be another hour or more, before they would have dinner...

One look at her face and Armaan understood that if he come a few second later, than he would be welcome by a crying Riddhima, who is at the edge of crying at the moment for not being able to make the pleats perfectly... Armaan was so glad that he had come without taking much time and seeing Riddhima eyes welled up with tears, he thank god for making him return quickly...

'Rona nehi... No no no jaan...' Armaan said quickly moving by Riddhima side...

'Mujhe nehi jaana...' Riddhima said trying to move away from the mirror...

'Aise kaise, tum nehi jaaenge toh Sapna koh bura lagega na...' Armaan said...

'I know but mujhe yeh pleats tik se nehi ho rahi, main tak gayi hun Armaan...' Riddhima said with a pout on her lips...

'Awww, itni si baat...' Armaan said kissing on her pout lips...

'Itni si baat hoti toh ab tak hojaati na, mom bhi nehi hai... Mom hoti toh at least woh help kardete...' Riddhima said...

'Mom nehi toh kiya huva, tumhari yeh pati kab kaam aayenge...' Armaan said...

'Aap...???' Riddhima asked not sure...

'Kyun, main nehi kar sakte... Abhi magic dikhati hun, just wait and watch...' Armaan said as he sit in front of her, on his knees...

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

'Chup chap seedhe khade raho...' Armaan said...

Riddhima couldn't say anything more as Armaan already got hold of her saree, he started to do the pleats and Riddhima had no choice but to stay on the place... She let him do the pleats because they were already getting late and she had been trying to do it but now she was too irritated because it's not getting done properly...

With full attention, Armaan was carefully doing the pleats, that too neatly... Riddhima gasp as she felt his hot breath kissing on her bare belly as he sit very closed to the level of her belly... Riddhima closed her eyes and put her hands on his shoulders for support as his warm breath were making havoc in her body...

For a second Armaan move his eyes on her face, looking up at her and seeing her eyes closed, he couldn't help smiling but he continue to do his task in hand at the moment... Riddhima somehow control herself and let Armaan help her with the saree...

In no time, Armaan perfectly makes the pleats and pinned it safely so it wouldn't open... Than he started to correct the pallu and pinned it with her blouse so it wouldn't fall... When he was satisfied with his work, he took few steps back looking at his wife from head to toe...

Admiring the beauty, who stood with her eyes closed but smile on her rosy lips as she wore a traditional fancy nylon net saree which was of cream color with a black border and sleeveless black blouse which has a shining like small stars...

She has put just eyeliner and lip gloss only as make up, heart-shape earrings with a diamond and engagement ring as only jewelry... She has done her hair in a loose braids bun and Armaan just got lost in her the moment his eyes catch the glimpse of her beauty which took his breath away...

RIDDHIMA SAREE

RIDDHIMA EARRING

Seeing the lost expression on Armaan face, Riddhima understood that she must be looking perfect... Still she wanted to check herself so she turn around and face the mirror... She was left surprise to see how perfectly Armaan has make the pleats and pallu just the way she wants...

Huge smile make its way on her lips as she correct the saree, making sure that it didn't get spoil because Armaan has done a good job just in few minutes... Seeing her smile, which reached to her eyes, Armaan move closed to her, standing behind her...

Riddhima look at Armaan through the mirror and he just hugs her, closing the distance between them as his hands lazily rest on either side of her hips... Riddhima mouth a 'thank you' and in return, Armaan just drop a lingering kiss on her temple, not letting the smile fade off from her face...

Both stood admiring themselves as Armaan has also wear matching color indowestern Sherwani to Riddhima saree... He was looking dashing as ever and the jacket make him look perfect giving him a breath taking touch to his dressing style...

ARMAAN SHERWANI

Just than their moment were interrupt by Riddhima mobile ringtone, which indicate that she got a new MSG... Riddhima check it and she saw it was from Muskaan, she check it quickly and reply as they were ready to leave now without any delay...

'Chale, bohot der hogayi...' Riddhima said turning in his hold...

'Ek minute, something is missing...' Armaan said putting distance between them...

'Kiya...??? Sab toh tik hai...' Riddhima said turning around to face the mirror...

'Nehi, wait...' Armaan said moving towards the wardrobe...

'Armaan, kiya reh gayi hai... Chalo na, we are already late...' Riddhima said as she got her mobile and clutch...

Riddhima was putting her mobile and waiting for Armaan when she suddenly felt Armaan palms on her bare waist... Riddhima jerk but relax when Armaan gave a soft kiss on her neckline... Riddhima try to move out from his hold but he just hold her, making her stop moving when she felt something cold touching her bare waist...

Armaan move away, giving her space to look down to see a beautiful waist chain... It has two heart as one heart was inside the other, it was of diamonds... Simple yet very beautiful, just the way Riddhima likes any jewelry she wore because she don't like heavy and expensive ones...

WAIST CHAIN

Riddhima look towards Armaan and next second she was hugging him, hiding her face on crook of his neck as she inhale his scent to feel him close... Armaan hugs her back and let her stay like that as long as she wants until she break the hug...

Feeling Riddhima lips touching his neckline, leaving small kisses, it makes Armaan hold her tight as his dimple smile took over his face... He knows she loves these small gifts and always these small things make her feel the most happiest person in the world...

'Now u look perfect, just like my wife Mrs. Riddhima Armaan Mallik...' Armaan said kissing her hair...

'I love you...' Riddhima whisper, moving out from the hug and looking at his face...

'I love you too my jaan...' Armaan said looking her face...

Riddhima just seal his lips, because the small gesture of his make her feel over the moon... From last few days, after they got to know about her pregnancy, Riddhima had realized how his love has increased... It make her happiness reached over the boundaries which she sometimes has difficult to handle...

Armaan also respond to the kiss but soon they broke knowing they were getting late for the function... Before leaving, Armaan just leave a kiss on her forehead which make her give the best smile of her... They didn't waste another second, soon they make their way out from the house and zoom out in Armaan car...

BACK TO SAPNA HOUSE

'They are on their way...' Muskaan said joining the gang...

'They better be...' Sapna said...

'Chill Sapna, aajaenge...' Anjali said...

'Ek kaam karo tum, Amit ke saath ek dance karo...' Muskaan said...

'Yeah Amit, take her for a dance... Aur dekhna, jab tak dance khatam hojaate, Ridz bhi aajaenge...' Anjali said...

'Nehi, mera mann nehi hai...' Sapna said...

'Oye, kyun apni engagement ke din mood kharab kar rahe ho... Dekh tu bhi jaante haina, Ridz koh der kyun hogayi... Uske nakre kaafi hai, tu nakre mat dikha ab...' Muskaan said...

'Muski, tu...' Sapna was cut by Amit...

'Sapna, please can I have a dance with you...' Amit said before Sapna could blast on Muskaan...

'Awww, so sweet...' Anjali said...

'Leh, ab Amit ne bhi puchliya... Bechare koh mana mat karna, dil tutjaenge...' Muskaan said smirking...

'Mujhe kehti hai main nakre dikhati hun, teri nautanki kuch kam hai kiya...' Sapna said...

'Jo bhi ho, ab jao bhi Amit ke saath... Dekh bechara kabse haath aage karke khade hai...' Muskaan said...

'Go Sapna, before exchanging rings, ek dance toh banta hai...' Anjali said...

'Yes, go now...' Muskaan said pushing Sapna a little towards Amit...

'Hum dono akele dance karenge toh awkward hoga...' Sapna said...

'Haan toh tik haina, Rahul aur Muskaan bhi tum dono ke saath jaenge...' Anjali said...

'Hum dono kyun...??? Why not u and Atul...???' Rahul asked speaking between the girls...

'Kyunki humhare paas Anjul hai...' Atul said...

'Toh Padma Aunty koh de doh, ek dance ki toh baat haina...' Muskaan said...

'Hum baad mein dance karlenge, tum log jao...' Atul said...

'Haan, ab bas ek hi dance kar sakte hai... Than it would be time for the ceremony to start...' Anjali said...

'Accha chalo, nehi toh Sapna bhi nehi jaenge Amit ke saath...' Rahul said finally giving in...

'Haan chal...' Muskaan said holding Rahul hand, who was holding his hand for her...

Rahul and Amit took their girls to the dance floor, as the function hasn't start yet by exchanging the rings, everyone were enjoying their drinks and talking as they wait... Slow song were playing and soon the two couple were moving to the beat, enjoying being close to their partners...

Anjali and Atul stood on the stage, Anjul were on Anjali arms and he kept looking around still resting his head on his mother chest... Atul check on him thinking he might be sleeping because he had been quiet for sometimes... Anjali also look at him and seeing him quiet, she smile knowing only he be like that when he is tired or sleepy...

'Ek kaam karo Anjali, Anjul koh feed kardo... Maybe he is feeling sleepy...' Atul said caring Anjul hair...

'Haan, aur waise bhi tohdi der mein ring exchange hoga toh it would be better I feed him now... If he fall asleep, I will leave him in Sapna room...' Anjali said...

'Sure, go ahead...' Atul said giving a kiss on Anjul head...

When Anjali left with Anjul, Atul joins Shashank and Billy... Padma and Ananya were meeting few guests to whom Sapna mother was introducing them, where else Sapna father were busy attending some guests letting Billy and Shashank just enjoy each other company...

Atul check the time and look towards the entrance as by now almost every guests has arrived but Armaan and Riddhima were still missing... Even Billy and Shashank has realized that they hasn't reached yet so ask Atul if anyone had call them to know how long they would take to come...

It was past 7 15 p.m now and just fifteen minutes left for the ring ceremony... So everyone was enjoying till than with some couples joins Sapna, Amit, Rahul and Muskaan on the dance floor as they swing to the music... Sapna eyes were still on the entrance as she was waiting for her best friend...

Amit were watching Sapna action and smile seeing how she was being impatient... He knows Riddhima is very closed to her, just like a sister which is the reason that she don't want Riddhima to be late on her special day... Amit has also know Riddhima wouldn't dare to miss any special day of her friends so there wasn't need Sapna to be tense about her coming a little late...

'Aajaenge, kyun itna pareshan ho rahe ho...???' Amit asked catching her attention...

'Main pareshan nehi ho rahi hun, I just want my best friend to be my side on this day...' Sapna said...

'Don't worry, woh nikal gayi haina... I m sure before we exchange rings, she will be on your side...' Amit said...

'I m sorry...' Sapna said...

'Kyun...???' Amit asked...

'Aaj humhara din hai, phir bhi main Ridz koh lekar pareshan ho rahi hun...' Sapna said...

'Koi baat nehi, I know how important she is for you... Ab toh aadat hogaye hai mujhe, I m happy with the small moment I get to spend with you...' Amit said...

'I love you...' Sapna said...

'I love you too...' Amit said kissing her forehead...

Sapna smile as both got lost in each other as Amit didn't let Sapna break the eye-lock, just like them even Rahul and Muskaan were lost in each other without caring the attention they were getting from the guests... Few guests were admiring the couples while others were enjoying drinks and talking...

After sometimes, Armaan and Riddhima enter catching some guests attention nearby as they move inside in search of the couple for the night... They saw the stage empty so they look around to see Billy, Shashank and Atul near the stage...

Armaan lead Riddhima to them, Shashank gave a hug and a kiss on her forehead when they finally arrived... Atul also gave a hug to Armaan as Billy asked them what took them so long to which Armaan just avoid and change the topic, asking about the rest...

Seeing Riddhima, Padma and Ananya also joins them... Padma compliment Riddhima as she was looking gorgeous in that saree, Riddhima tell them it was Armaan choice as she can't take compliment when she shouldn't be the one to get it for what she hasn't done anything to deserve...

When the song end which was playing as Armaan and Riddhima entry, Riddhima excuse to go and meet Sapna... Armaan also left with her as both parents look at them as they admire the beautiful couple, who look like made from heaven...

Armaan and Riddhima move to Sapna and Amit, who were lost in each other... Riddhima clear her throat to get their attention and it make them jerk apart... Riddhima giggle seeing their expression and hugs Sapna, complimenting how beautiful she was looking...

'U r looking hot too, no wonder you both took so much time...' Sapna said moving out from the hug...

'Kuch bhi...' Riddhima said as color flush on her cheeks...

'Kiya kuch bhi, dekh Armaan kaise tujhe pakadke khade hai...' Sapna said pointing his hand which was around her waist...

'Oye, main toh hamesha aise pakadta hun, jab bhi mujhe moka mile...' Armaan said in his defense...

'Woh toh hum sabko pata hai...' Amit said, agreeing to him...

'Aur tujhe kyun itni problem ho rahi hai Sapna, Amit koh bolna tujhe bhi aise pakadke rakhe...' Armaan said teasing Sapna, with a wink...

'Usmein sharam baaki hai, tumhare tarah nehi hai woh... Jo log ke saamne, aise pakde...' Sapna said...

'Than it's your bad luck darling, kyunki hum toh besharam logo mein se hun jo apne biwi koh kissi ke liye bhi nehi chodte...' Armaan said...

'Poor Ridz, pata nehi kaise tum jaise possessive husband koh handle karti hai...' Sapna said...

'Poor nehi, lucky Ridz bol because she wouldn't get anyone who loves her the way I love do...' Armaan said...

'Tumse toh koi nehi jeet sakte...' Sapna said...

'Toh koshish kyun karte ho...' Armaan said with a naughty grin...

'Enough u too, isn't it time...???' Riddhima asked...

'Just five minutes more, let's move back to the stage...' Amit said checking his wrist watch...

'Tum log chalo, main Rahoool aur Muskaan koh lekar aata hun...' Armaan said...

'Ab un dono koh pareshan mat karna Armaan...' Riddhima said seeing his sparkling eyes...

'Main aur pareshan...??? Not at all Jaan...' Armaan said...

Riddhima cheeks turn in to a dark color of red when Armaan call her by that name because he never did that unless they were alone... She glare at him for calling her by that name, that too in front of Sapna because she very well know that Sapna wouldn't leave a chance to tease her now...

'Jaan, haan...???' Sapna said as Riddhima expected, nudging her by elbow...

'Di kaha hai...???' Riddhima asked looking around to avoid the topic...

'Nice try but don't think I will forget it... Anjy must be in room, I think Anjul koh feed karne gayi hai...' Sapna said as she has seen Anjali going to her room...

'Tumhe tease karne hai toh kar sakte ho but please Muski ke saamne kuch mat kehna...' Riddhima said...

'Will see about it, chalo stage pe chalte hai...' Sapna said...

Soon Sapna and Riddhima were on the stage with Amit by Sapna side, others also joins them and compliment each other... After sometimes, Amit and Sapna parents move on the stage as they announce, it was time to exchange rings...

Muskaan got the rings as Sapna mother asked her to, Anjali also joins with Anjul, who happily jump towards Riddhima when he saw his aunt... Riddhima shower kisses on him, soon Sapna and Amit make slip the rings, everyone claps for them as both parents and friends congratulate them...

Letting the guests congratulate, gang move down from the stage... Armaan took Anjul from Riddhima and help her to climb down safely and leads her to one of the table, he tell her to wait till he get food for them... Others had already left to get food so Riddhima stay with Anjul...

After sometimes, Armaan came back with others... They started to have dinner while talking about how both Sapna and Amit were looking perfect together... Armaan was feeding Riddhima and also having food from the same plate, Anjul try to catch the spoon but Riddhima kept him busy some way or other...

Not only the gang but few guests were also admiring Armaan Riddhima as Armaan kept feeding her... They smile seeing how Anjul were happily playing being on Riddhima lap while Armaan feed her... Gang didn't pass any comment on that because it was nothing new to them...

Half an hour later, everyone were on the dance floor with their respective partner... Amit and Sapna did the first dance being officially engaged and others joins them with the second dance... Even Armaan and Riddhima were dancing as slow number was playing...

They were lost in each other, with Armaan both hands on Riddhima hips and Riddhima hands around his neck... Their never ending love hold their eyes in a beautiful eye-lock, it seems that they are the couple for the night because almost everyone attention were on them...

HOURS LATER @MALLIK MANSION,

ARMAAN RIDDHIMA ROOM

Armaan look at Riddhima as he came out from the washroom after changing, seeing her already on bed that too in the saree, he wondered what happen to her... It wasn't like her to go to sleep without changing and also without taking a shower...

Thinking she might be tired, Armaan took his mobile and check the mails before going to sleep... As he has an important meeting the following day, he has ask his PA to send all the details so he could check it... Not wanting to disturb Riddhima, Armaan move out to the balcony as he has to make a call...

Ending the call after ten minutes, Armaan move inside to see Riddhima still in the same position... Remembering that she had pain in the morning, Armaan quickly move to check if she was fine... His heart sink for a second remembering her painful expression...

Armaan didn't realized how he got by her side, he bend over to see her face and calm seeing her eyes closed with a smile on her lips... She was in deep slumber, if anything surprising him than it was that she was sleeping without changing...

Knowing it would make her feel uncomfortable, Armaan got her night dress and again was by her side trying to wake up without startling her... She frown and open her eyes a little but when Armaan asked her to change, she again close it...

'Accha let me help you at least...' Armaan said trying to pull her up...

'Armaan...' Riddhima whines as she don't want to change...

'Just a second baby, than u can go back to sleep...' Armaan said making her stand up...

Riddhima stood with a frown, still her eyes closed... Armaan smile seeing how she wasn't willing to open her eyes for a second as she let Armaan change her cloths... Armaan make her free from the saree and make her wear night cloth...

The moment Armaan pull down her dress, Riddhima climb bed to go back to sleep but Armaan hold her... Riddhima just whines making Armaan laugh, she open her eyes and give him a angry glare... Armaan make a peace sigh from hand but still hold her not letting her go back to sleep...

'Leave me...' Riddhima said...

'I will not...' Armaan said...

'Kiya hai Armaan, kyun pareshan kar rahe ho...' Riddhima asked...

'Medicine le lo, phir pareshan nehi karunga...' Armaan said...

Riddhima make a face but she knows there was no way out from it so wait till Armaan get her medicine and water... Without denying Riddhima had it and climb the bed without waiting for Armaan... It make him smile but he didn't disturb her knowing she must be feeling too tired...

So keeping the glass, he off the lights leaving only the dim light, Armaan also took his side on the bed... He look at Riddhima, who was laying with her back towards him... Not liking the distance, he move close to her and hugs her from behind...

Kissing her neck, Armaan close his eyes as Riddhima just remain without moving... Hearing her shallow breath, Armaan was sure that she has gone back to deep slumber... So hiding his face on her neck as she has let her hair the way she has done it for the function, Armaan close his eyes, letting the sleep take over his tired body...

The End.

With Love,

Rihoohaws...
