"Ahmmm..." Vikas moved his hand around irritatedly to grab his mobile which was ringing continously.. "Vikas!!" Piya hit him so he wake up and attend his call.. She was hell tired and this continous ring at about 3 in night was annoying her to death..
"Hello???" Vikas attended the call still with his eyes closed and said..
"Abay Uth!!! Yahan azaab agay hai meri life mein.." Armaan yelled out loud without a hi hello..
"Kya??" Vikas was still half in sleep..
"Uth k bethooo!!!" Armaan shouted out even more louder making Vikas almost deaf..
"Armaan k bache!! kya masla hai??" Vikas finally opened up his eyes and saot down on the bed.. "3 bajj rah ahai yaar raat ka.." He complaint looking at the wall clock..
"Yahan mere 3, 4, 12 sab bajj gaye hain!!" Armaan gritted his teeth..
"Kya??" Vikas rubbed his eyes to open them up properly..
"Zabardasti ladki dikhane le k gaye thai!! Roka karwa diya meraaa!!!" He yelled making Vikas open his eyes wide.. "What??" Vikas's mouth hung up which even made Piya woke up..
"Kis k saath??" Vikas asked in horror.. The way Armaan was going mad was telling him something is really not right.. "Aur kese??" he quickly added..
"Kiske saath kya?? Tumhari wo behn Shilpa Malhotra!!" He yelled out even louder and next what jerked up Piya was Vikas falling down on ground with a loud thud.. "Dekho!!!" Vikas pointed a finger in the air.. "Agar tumhe neend nahi arahi hai to isska matlab yeh hargiz nahi hai k tum bakwaas kar k doosron ki neendein haram kardo!!" Vikas yelled back.. His sleep was gone far away..
"Tum soch bhi kese sakte ho main aisa ghatiya mazzak karunga iss waqt?? Meri lagi padi hai!!!" Armaan was shaking with anger.. His plan has backfired pathetically and he was finding himself already in hot waters..
"Tumhari koi lagi nahi padi hai tum sirf meri neend barbaad karne mein lagay ho!! Subha jawab dunga mein tumhe iss ghatiya mazaak ka!!" Vikas tried to be optimistic and ended the call, infact switched off his mobile..
"Kya hua??" Piya looked at him with an open mouth...
...
"But.. Armaan jhoot bhi to nahi bolta haina? may be its.." Piya just said while serving Vikas with some coffee at the breakfast table..
"Haan jhoot nahi bolta lekin meri neend haram karne k liye kuch bhi bol sakta hai!!" Vikas gritted his teeth.. "Uska kaam to hogaya! nahi soya mein raat bhar.." He huffed...
"Tumhe seriously lagta hai usko Shilpa ka naam bhi yaad hoga??" Piya arched her eyebrow.. She herself has witnessed his not so interested looks in this girl matter.. "What if it actually happened?" She asked..
"Then its hell..." Vikas shook his head in horror.. "Armaan and Shilpa!! Nooo.. kis angle se?"Vikas frowned..
Few Minutes Later when Rahul uploaded a picture of last night event and Vikas opened up his laptop and actually found out Armaan was Right! He felt like fainting...
"Vikas tum..." Piya almost yelled stepping inside their room, she had been calling him since many minutes but no reply made her angry... "sunai nahi de raha hai??" She yelled coming on his head where she found him stiff and stuck like an statue.. "Sadma lag gay ahai kisi cheez ka??" She snapped clicking fingers infront of him and then her eyes landed on the screen which was the source of Vikas's state.. It was the Roka Picture...
"WTH" Her mouth hung up.. "Hahahahaha!!" She started laughing next..
"Armaan.." Vikas stretched his right arm on one side.. "Shilpa" he stretched left on left side.. "Hehehahaha!!" Next he started laughing like manics.. "OMG!" Vikas held his stomach..
It took sometime for Vikas to register what has happened between two people who are poles apart and how interesting it is going to be between them.. No matter what? Shilpa was close to his heart as ever and will always be.. Being an elder brother he had always wished best for her and there his very reliable man he himself loves alot was standing!! How the hell can he even think of someone else for Shilpa other than Armaan from now on.. Guaranteed Armaan was going to be the one no matter how unpredictable and allergic he is to this women stuff...
"I wonder kaun kis ko bardaasht karne wala hai! Aur kaun kis ko change karne wala hai!" He grinned looking at Piya..
"Hahahaha!! Phone karlo usko... for sure kisi sports mein busy hoga iss waqt!" Piya knew too well what Armaan do when things get out of his own hands..
...
Closing his eyes, Armaan fall down on the nearest bench available.. Vikas was shipping Him and Shilpa which was a disaster!! "Aur bhai ka pyaar jaag gaya meri watt lagane!" Armaan cursed Vikas under his breath.. The tables were turned and now Mr Armaan Mallik was under some immense pressure! Every damn thing was at stake.. He even tried to argue with Vikas about the things this relationship is going to change between them but all in vein.. Vikas has all the answers to shut him down and later when he called Piya for help, before he could even start she started chirping, teasing him and all.. According to her how the hell is Shilpa involved in all what happened with her? People are not bad! Circumstances are.. "Tumhari tumhari adat hai ladkiyun se door bhagne ki!! Saalon se notice kar rahi hun jahan kabhi koi aisa topic ata hai tum ladki mein fuzul ka koi negative point nikal k door bhaag jate ho! phir chahe uss mein wo negative ho ya na ho!! Unfortunately iss baar tum buri tarah phass gaye ho!" "Piya tried to give him a reality check... "Piya aur uski wahiyaat philosiphies!!" He almost yelled putting the phone down and now with Billy's order to go and conduct the class literally drove him mad!
"Kya affat gale a ke parr gayi hai yaar!! Agay kua peeche khai!" He gritted his teeth.. He had already received millions of 'congrats' messages from all over the world since morning and this was making him pissed off more and more.. There was no way he was accepting Shilpa! He can't even imagine himself with her.. But at the same time there was also no way he would let himself be a reason for tears in everyones eyes.. "Mera to dimagh sunn parr gaya hai iss mamle mein... Huhhh!! I need some strong help!" He sighed while getting up to go and conduct the class...
...
All pissed off and irritated! He had no intentions to be in that class and keep looking at her face.. He decided to conduct a test and a hard one! It was kind of a revenge with all the students for giving a positive response about him or more sort of a revenge from Anjali for trying to play a cupid and from Shilpa for saying a yes!
Done with writing down the test question, he turning roaming around here and there in the class thinking about the upside turn his life has taken since last night and this is when his eyes fell on her... Fine! he can admit it for once that she was an innocent pretty hawtshot! She looked irritated with her pen's condition which made him smile out of the blue but as soon as he realized it was his gaze she had felt and how she was reacting to it, his eyes widen up.. "WTH!! I am effecting someone this way??? No!!!!!!!" He yelled inside and taking his own pen out walked forward to provide her some help and leave...
"Who the hell told you to provide her with a pen?? wo kisi aur se bhi le sakti thi!!" He kept on hitting his head all the way to Abhi's cabin.. "Shilpa pe dill kese agaya??" Abhi asked him after a light chit chat and he felt like killing him right away!! "Hhh dill to bacha hai jee!!" He was sarcastic which to his goodluck Abhi didn't felt.. The very next moment Armaan got the idea what he was doing and how much this is wrong! He can not just let everybody know what actually is going around.. Hell!! its just better that he talk what everyone wants to hear.. He even called up Shashank to let him know about he being her teacher at the moment and then bla bla things he thought this family will never accept and think again about him and shilpa but No!! Again the damn failur.. He thought if Piya's first meeting in jeans was the problem started for Vikas's nani and that whole shaadi fiasco and after effects blaming and bla bla.. Shashank didn't took Vikas's side and even didn't contacted him after this so obviously Shashank will not like all this but it actually shocked Armaan when Shashank was all cool about it... "Inke ghar mein beti aur bahu k liye alag rules hote hain??" He frowned..
Reaching back home, another sort of hell! Everyone try to tease around unknown to the inner turmoil and like always he could do nothing but to let them do and provide them with satisfactory retorts.. No matter how devil he think Shilpa is but in this situation she became a bechari for him! She shouldn't be between all this.. It was not her fault! The way she looks at him was different and he feels like running away straight! He feels she just do something with his soul when she lay eyes on him! Again not her fault! She had got the official liscense for it!
Things were already very difficult for him and here Rohail appeared in the Night out of blue providing him with a framed Roka Picture.. "Ab yeh kya hai??" He almost cried inside.. His heart squeezed in a fist as if some exam result was out and he terribely failed in it.. If everyone thinks its okay and cool no!!! It was not cool at all!! The picture in the form of reality shook him upside down! "Ab issko yahan bhi dekhun?" His heart raced! He just cannot digest the fact that in last 24 hours what Shilpa has caused him.. She was actually making paperships of his life right now! "Can this day go any more worse?" He mentally tried to kill himself and a tiny voice at the back of his head said "Yes!"...
"Urghh!!" He groaned! Anjali was such a pain, instead of telling him about the class timings she provided him with Shilpa's number.."Now what are you going to do with this?? scare her?" He bitterly asked himself.. "Abay haan!! try it on.. Agar darr k peeche hatt jati hai to kya bura hai? saamp bhi marr jayega aur laathi bhi nahi tootay gii!" He danced around the bed and messaged her.."You awake??? Armaan..."
Now his work was to wait like a 13 year old girl.. he kept walking and walking and something inside him poked him.."Ahmm excuse me?? don't you think this will make her get a wrong perception?? It will scare her or make her think you taking interest in her especially after the pen scene??"
"Dammit!!!" He hit his head hard.. "Yeah!" Her message came and there he banged his head hard against his wardrobe "Ouch!!" It actually hurts.. "Koi baat nahi!!" He tried to pacify himself rubbing his head.. "Now she will get scared!" He told himself dialling her number...
"Lo ji! Hogaya tumhara satayanaas!! Matlab wo ladki hai ya tum???" He hit himself on the face.. "Ab kya?? subha mil ke kya bakwaas karni hai?? bolne se pehle soch to liya hota!! Abhi tak sab ulta hota aya hai!! abhi yeh phone bhi aur ab..urghhh" He slammed the phone down on his bed.. "Ni!! Isse milna padega! She is the right one!" He told himself.. No one knew him better than Nidhi at the moment and obviously she knows the whole situation and stuff so only she can help according to him..
Shilpa and her antics!! She looked so cute hitting her head against her palm and hitting her foot again and again on ground as she forgot to change her slippers.. A light smile appeared at the corner of his lips.. He didn't remember when he has seen just purity and innocense?? The view was just so admirable... "Kya matlab hai?? iss mein kya khaas hai ghoorne laiq??" He hit himself as soon as he gain some senses.. "In ladkiyun ko wese bhi phudakne k ilaawa koi kaam nahi hai.." He frowned adding up Piya, Nidhi, Aliya everyone he can imagine and he has seen doing stupid things alot of times..
Again stupid spontinous and wrong talk infront of her but atlast he took her with him and rest was all mapped up.. He is going to scare her and she has to back out! End of day!! End of story!!
Placing the order they started off with some rubbish talk he don't think he would ever talk with anyone..
"Aur... aj tumhe yahan mein laaya bhi isiliye hoon taake mein kisi bhi interfearence k bagair... on a serious note baat kar sakun tumse..." He came on his point after a bit of random bakwaas..
"Kaunsi baat???" She asked innocently...
"Shilpa!!! Dekho... Its a fact that you don't know me as a person... " He started as he thought and then suddenly he lost it.. "And let me tell you a truth that i backfire really hard, Kyunki now i will be there in the university, to... possible hai k cher char ho aur mein uska jawab bhi dun... but in this all i don't want you to get uncomfortable and get embarrassed or something... Tumhe mera saath dena parega.." Again rubbish.. "Hell!! what am i talking??" He felt like slamming his head to something.. "Why does everything goes wrong when she is around him?? "Tum koi dhung ki baat nahi kar sakte!! iss masle ka hul koi baat cheet nahi seedha action hai!" He sighed.. Shilpa started talking generally and he kept glaring at her coffee which was like never coming to an end so that they can leave.. Time and Rubbish!! what a combination.. She just revealed how close she was to Anjali and he knew he had to be extra careful now as Anjali can do wonders in his case which obviously won't be good for him.. Shilpa asked him why he said yes for marriage.. "Dimagh kharab hai kya mera???" He yelled inside but opposite came out sska jawab, mein tumhe shaadi k baad dunga!" "Agar ghalti se hogayi aur zinda bacha to.." He told himself..
Taking reverse he was actually thankful to himself for one thing that he asked her to be quiet about their relationship in public...
...
"Very Good!! Rain and traffic jamm! all i needed!!" He rolled his eyes looking all around.. "Isske saath yahin maut ani hai!" He shook his head and asked her to get out.. They were going to leave the car and find some good place to stay until rain allows them to go back..
"Aur bhi badhiya!! Ek kamra!" World can just twist around and explode over him! No!!!! Nervous little creature with hopeful eyes at him... "Ab isse zyaada interesting mulaqat i don't think meri kabhi bhi isse ho sakti thi..." he laughed out sarcastically at himself.. "Nidhiii!!!!" He yelled inside..she was just reminded and missed terribely by him!
Leaving her in the hotel room, he walked out hiding his real expressions and straight away went to search for his way out.. "Kya musibat hai!! i just can't believe my plan backfired!!" Armaan cursed his luck hitting his foot again and again against the wall.. it was such a great chance to get away from this upcoming life time hell names'Shilpa Malhotra'..
"Khair..." He took a deep breath running his fingers through his hairs trying calming himself down.. "Okay! issko darane ka kaam to iss room mein bhi ho sakta hai!" He traced his lower lip with his tongue.."But first!!" He flared up again and taking out his mobile dialled someone.. "Ek ullo ka pattha mera peecha kar raha hai!! shayad naya camera khareeda hai! pictures bhi le raha hai! find out kaun hai!" He ordered gritting his teeth...
"Hahahaha!! r u serious Armaan?? tumhara peecha kar raha hai koi?" He heard the other person laugh out loud.. "Just shut up and find out!" He roared and ended the call.. "Huhhh.. Ab naya tamasha!! Better grab a book and get lost in your own world.. Aur khabardaar jo usse koi ulti pulti baat ki to.. jab mu kholte ho uske saamne bakwaas he nikalti hai!! You seriously need to check if she is a witch with magic!" He breathed out irritatedly and started walking down towards the reception..
Okay! Few more rubbish, idiotic, filmy moments and he was convinced another trouble is awaiting for him... He wants to scare her and here he himself got scared with her trust over him.. Hell!! he forgot how to break someones trust after Nidhi's incident! 'She is Vikas's sister!! You cannot do anything foolish with her.. How can you forget there is whole army to clear your side and burn you down in this marriage!
Even greater! Shilpa came running out of her room because she was scared making him pissed off! "Armaan Nidhi Season 2" He named this episode of his life... Out of the bathroom and he found her asleep.. "Very Good!!" He gritted his teeth and waited if she wakes and move backs into the bedroom but No!! "Arghhh she can drive me nuts!!" He was done acting like a school boy and now it was something serious... "Time to call my crime partner!" He sighed..
Walking forward he scooped her in his arms and started taking steps towards the bedroom when she snuggled a bit closer to his chest making his heart beat stop! Very quickly he dropped her on the bed and tried to shake what just happened! He kept looking at her with narrow eyes 'what was with this girl?' his hand itself went forward to trace her cheek and sideline that hair falling over it!
Time to jump!! He just felt something strong!! Quickly he was out of the bedroom and so from the suit..To hell what the time is and he was dialling Nidhi!!
"Hhh i wasss.. just about to call you!!" He heard Nidhi's voice shivering..
"Please don't tell me you are stuck in something??" He asked closing his eyes tight...
"I am in hell!!" She sighed..
"Ditto!! Kab mil rahe hain hum?" He asked..
"bohat lumbi talk hai!" She bit her lower lip..
"Arre mera kabara hogaya hai yahan!!!" He yelled out loud..
"Apni ghadi chor k ana ghar!! full on tracking pe lagay hue hain ajkal mujhpe.." She pouted..
"Got it! Tum lumba phasi ho iss baar.." He got allert..
"Yup! Aur tum??" she asked...
"Mera personal hai! i'll try handle.. dekho kuch karte hain! Milte hain! " He said with finality and then ended.. If they had to meet secretly, they had to mislead few people and arrange some place..
There was no way he was letting Shilpa face consiquences of sharing a suit and landing up with him in this marriage so soon!! He tried to make her understand she needs to lie.. Automatically Shilpa was parting away in his mind with the image he formed before.. Something was changed!
"Hahahahahaaa!!" Nidhi was laughing holding her stomach and Armaan was found on a side throwing daggers at her.. "Aur hassoo!! aur zyaada zor se hassooo!!" He yelled out loud at her...
"Arre tum gussa kyun ho rahe ho?? main hassoon nahi to phir aur kya karun??" Nidhi tried to control herself a bit.. "What is so funny??" He passed her a killing look..
"Okay!!ahaha!! so you are ready to face reality??" Nidhi rubbed her hands togather..
"Bhaagta nahi hun main sachai se!!!" He roared..
"Fine... then lets get started! screw Vikas! usko side pe rakho! Jab wo khud itna khush hai iss sab se to tumhe kisne kaha hai to judge her?? these are just stupid excuses!! Yeh saari baat yahan tak pohchi kyunki andar he andar tum khud chahte thai!! you won't admit but you liked her!!" Nidhi chirped.. "Ab zahir hai tumhare notes ki kashitiyaan banane wali mein kuch dum to hoga naa!!! hahaha" She added a wink..
"Shut Up!" He rolled his eyes... "I hated her!" He gritted his teeth..
"No you didn't!" Nidhi snapped back. "You liked her anddd now you love her!!" She smiled..
"Are you out of your mind??" He retorted back.. "If this is how people fell in love then you and me should be madly in love with eachother!" He pointed at her..
"Our situation was different!!" Nidhi defended.. "We had everything to deal with accept for this idiotic thing called love!"She came in her hitler mode "Anddd we have similar problem! Hum apni life normal logon k jesi imagine he nahi kar sakte!! Tumhe mauqa mil raha hai Armaan! go for it!" Nidhi tried to push him...
"Dimagh to nahi kharab hogaya?? Ussne mera aisa kya bigada hai jo uss bechari ki life khatre mein daalun mein??" He scolded her..
"Humne kisi ka kya bigada tha jo humari life musibat mein agayi?? "She snapped back.. "Tumne socha tha tumhare saath ek pal mein yeh sab ho jayega? ya maine socha tha?? We don't decide Armaan!! Its fate!!" She insisted.. "Aurr yeh out of the blue Shilpa a ke tumse kese takra gayi?? kese tumhare saare efforts fail ho gaye?? Ofcorse its not normal k tum uske saamne jake ulti seedhi baatein karne lag gaye!! Tum!! jo ek ek lafz soch soch k bolte ho!!" She demanded a good explaination..
"See.." He started.. "Dont!!" Nidhi stopped him.. "Mujhe batao.. itna jhelne k baad..itne close hain hum! itne bonded hain k log humay dekh k ghalat couple assume karne lag jate hain still we don't share that feeling!! why?? " She asked leaving him speechless..
"To tum kehna chah rahi ho k i am in that creepy love thing?? Wo bhi uss phudatki koodti nazuk si, sehmi, annoying ladki k saath??" He frowned..
"Armaan!! Thats your type!" Nidhi mocked at his face..
"My type?? thats my type??" He cocked his eyes.. "Don't you think mera type kuch strong! independent! kuch tumse milta julta hoga??" He was confused..
"You made me this okay!" She arched her eyebrow! "Aur tumhara type jispe tum depend kar sako! And she is the girl! The homely one you like and want!.. Opportunity saamne se chal k arahi hai don't ruin it!" Nidhi warned him..
"What about the consiquences??" His next question..
"chalo.. tumne iss darr se usse shaadi nahi ki.. what if she gets married to a smuggler??" Nidhi smirked..
"Shut Up!!" He scowled.. "Fine i get it!! some matchmaking is happening from the sky!" He rolled his eyes..
"Good!!" Nidhi chirped!! "Ab meri help karo naa.." She pleaded..
"Arre haan yaar.. bohat faida utha rahe hain tumhara yahan!" He sighed getting serious.. "Dekho! maine to already plan kar liya hai my way out! You can join me!" He chuckled..
"Kahan??" Nidhi's mouth hung up..
"Mauritius!!" He grinned..
...
Epic proposal scene!! Shilpa's cry and allegation over him! His own mind getting twist and all!! End Result?? Mr Armaan Mallik finally accepted where he has landed with her and he has to stop planning tricks!
Obviously unlike his family he has no plans to get married this early before knowing what idiot officers will plan like.. India was definitely a danger zone and so he has to get out as soon as possible.. But more than India, Shilpa's nani was.. "Wohooo!!! " Just in few minutes whole picture was clear to him but still he feels its shashank's fault that he never searched for Vikas... It wasn't Shilpa he was confused about but the Malhotra Family.. He can loudly say without any hesitation that Shilpa's nani was hell annoying! He even thought he is going to patt piya's back for making it work for this long!!
He gave his family the taste of their own medicine by creating a drama that he is not getting married and all and then took shilpa out for dinner.. He just wanted to inform her about him going to Mauritius and check what actually kind of a person she is.. He was falling in love with her but hadn't fallen completely.. He wanted the surety that she is the right person who can handle his life and will be able to keep secrets!! Before engagement a long distance trial period was very much necessary..
As expected, Shilpa told him how she feels honestly and this is what gave him the very first hope about them working out a little.. Late Night, he was compelled to think only and only about her anf the life Nidhi thinks he can get.. He was hell apprehensive about what all Nidhi said and his relationship with Shilpa! A test was so necessary to be taken..
Days were passing good, Armaan was in full mood to keep himself as much busy as he can.. When he is with Shilpa, he tries to observe her, know her and be a solution for her problems aswell and rest when he is in office, he tries to share a bit of burden put on Rahul Rohail because of his absense.. He wanted them to exploit him and learn as much as they can in minimum time.. At the back of his head, he still has no hopes with his own life.. And God Forbid by chance if he is free which he never wants to then all this crap makes him hyper and frustrated, he thinks Shilpa's life will be destroyed! he has no right to play with anyones emotions and all.. Ofcorse Nidhi was already sent to Mauritius and there was no way he was calling her and telling her to make him relax and try clear his mind..
One more thought that disturbed him was his own Relationship and bond with Nidhi!! She was kind of a part of his life now.. What they both feel about eachother they both knew they can never be able to explain the world! For world people this much close have to be more than friends.. Will Shilpa ever be able to understand it? what if she will question their equation and he is asked to choose between two??
In a heart beat it would be Nidhi he knew! They were death partners! They knew eachother more than anyone else.. But according to World it should be Shilpa! "Urghhh" so many things ran down his mind... What if Nidhi will never get a partner she deserves like? What about her life?? Things were so so twisted and like always when he can't handle! he has to run away of get himself hell busy..
It was 14th feb Valentines Day! The special day when he hates Red the most and the day when he has to leave and finally put her and Shilpa's relationship to a test.. He was searching for her while saying good bye to all while leaving after the party... She was nowhere in sight and he had to leave without waving her a good bye!
It was terrible to feel something was missing!! "This shouldn't feel like an unfinished business!!" He told himself and waited.. waited till he saw her running in the parking lot.. A Nice and Final Good Bye has to be made!! what if its actually a last one and they won't be able to pass this test?? He wanted a memory for himself with the woman his heart has started beating in these few days...
"Aap yahan??? Shipa looked away not knowing what to say.. she was too too surprised to see him there in the parking lot.."I mean, gaye nahi app??" She hesitantly looked at him...
"Tumhari wajah se party mein aya tha... Tumse mile bagair chala jaoon??? tch!!! Doesn't make any sense!!" He chuckled smiling lightly at her...
"Mere liye???" Her eyes raised up to meet his with this sudden revelation that he was there because of her only... He saw that surprise and happiness in her eyes on finding out that he was here for her.. How beautiful is the composition of tears is, he just found out.. Those crystal clear pearls forming at the edge of her eyes for Him!! It was a big thing for him..
"Aurrr..." He moved forward towards her.. "Yeh tumhari ankhon mein ache nahi lagte!!" He wiped off a tear from the corner of her right eye... He tried to make her smile and even said out loud what he was feeling! Ofcourse the memory he was trying to create and take away should be special one! He just couldn't help it but what he said or did was for himself not for her.. He hugged her because he wanted to feel how those emotions touch; everyone talk about? Is there something real or just in fictional books?? Surprisingly it was real and to feel her in his arms was something beyond his imaginations.. Hugging her felt way more different from what it feels when you hug others.. There was no doubt left to him that she is special for him!
Nidhi in Mauritius was planted and planned but Sid was a surprise and that too out of the blue! "Hell No!!" Armaan and Nidhi wanted to kill themselves that now they have to start this new drama aswell.. Sid was obviously a new threat for them!
What can go more worse?? Thanks to Dehli Sid, Piya and Vikas were kind of a trio.. Vikas after shifting to Dehli obviously made some new friends but Armaan's very first visit introduced him with Sid and Aliya who was also Vikas's naighbour.. Thats how the bond and friendship formed and grew between Vikas and Sid and then because of Sid, Aliya got more and more involved and soon she started treating him like she would treat Armaan and Vikas too resiprocated the same as he used to miss Shilpa and Muskaan alot..It was all just a mere coincidence that Aliya was never mentioned..
Anyways, the bad news was that some idiotic thing was again up and to deal with it living in between all of them and especially Sid in office and home both was a hard task! Nidhi was already in a daze that from where the hell these guts occured to Armaan where he id thinking of testing his just began relationship with Shilpa.. They were still more like strangers and a stupid test at this moment looks like a real rubbish to her..
Not liking the fact that Hell is in Mauritius as well, Armaan once and for all straight went to Vikas and cleared it! He told him straight that everyone knows how he value his relationships and think again because he is not letting Shilpa and His relationship screwup things between Vikas and Him.. He probably for the first time went on this height of seriousness and told Vikas to think from every aspect and be clear cut about this..
On the other hand, what Armaan was waiting for was Shilpa's response.. He knew papers he set are on and if Shilpa is one of those idiotic girls then she will do everything to get in touch with him and try to get as much help from him as she can.. Ofcourse every student has the idea that even if he is not the one to set papers then also he will knew who has set and what can come.. Major part of his brain relaxed down when Shilpa didn't called him.. Vikas too made it clear that nothing is going wrong and there is no way anything is effecting their friendship...
...
Some how life was taking a relaxing turn, Nidhi and Armaan even found a way out to continue with their investigation without getting any suspicious eye on after them.. But how can those officers or life be easy for them?? More twisting turns and Nidhi end up landing into a huge trouble.. However, Armaan was sure Nidhi's passport is not just misplaced but this is again a trick to bring them togather... They both were the jackpots for those idiot officers who were easily dumping their work over them...
There was no way he was going to let Nidhi be put behind bars.. As he thought before, it was still there that he would choose Nidhi in a heartbeat if he had to make a choice till now... "I trusted you with my respect!" was all ringing in Armaan's mind day and Night.. The way Nidhi said it to him years ago.. And now Shilpa's last moment with him was giving it a competition.. That girl cried for him! That girl had hope in her eyes the day samrat performed that stupid dare and Armaan didn't say a word.. She wanted him to take a stand for her... He felt like he is doomed..
Nidhi was ready to go behind the bars but was not at all ready to go for paper marriage with some random guy.. She made it clear to Armaan though Armaan already knew it.. There was no way she was putting her character on stake.. It will torn her apart from inside!
One thing Armaan was sure about! Nidhi is not going to suffer and be trapped in any stupid trick.. He don't want to break Shilpa's heart but if in order to save Nidhi, he had marry her! he will and this will be a life time commitment not any contractual.. Consiquences will he hard but he will face..
Nidhi on the other hand knew what is going in Armaan's mind and she feels terrible to be a reason for his worry but what can she do?? this was not her choice.. She was sure Armaan at the end will come up to her with the best option available and she had to avail it then.. She never told him but she now trust him blindly with her respect and character.. Even if she will choose to go behind bars then also things will surely shape up bad and will drag Armaan in it..
"Why the hell are you so tensed??" Sid one day asked him.. Armaan seems to be in a serious depression to him.. "Just a paper marriage!! From where the hell her character is getting destroyed by that??" Sid asked with widen eyes after Armaan revaled a part of the story along with some madeup situation.. Sid was just amaized to see Armaan's this much serious and protective attitude towards Nidhi!! The friendship bond or whatever was between them was confusing him now...
"Really?? to agar main kahun k its just a paper marriage! i can volunteer to wo sahi hoga?? I will be cheating no one?? " Armaan asked sarcastically arching his eyebrow..
"Tch!! you are already in a commitment dude!! Obviously you will be cheating! Lekinnn.. Nidhi ka to kisi k saath kuch nahi hai.." Sid tried to reason.. He was just shocked to find out how Armaan is struggling between Shilpa and Nidhi!! This was a complete surprise..
"Fine! then tell be about a person we can trust fully!! Jo agay kisi kism ki koi problem create nahi karega! Silent paper marriage and silent divorce!! No questions! No answers! No accusations on girl's character!! Baat yahin dabbi reh jayegi!! Who do you think is the correct person??" Armaan was furious..
When you are trapped in a situation, you hardly are able to think right or think clever.. But when you have to advice someone, you can do it better and exceptionally good sometimes.. Exactly when Sid carelessly raised his shoulders and said that he doenst know Nidhi much but as he has full faith on Armaan and if Armaan feels she really needs help then Sid can voluenteer quietly! No one will ever find out and Sid obviously won't be cheating anyone since he is under no commitments..
On the other side when Armaan kept the option infront of Nidhi, she without a blink accepted putting her faith on Armaan... Armaan was taking Sid's guarantee and nothing more is needed! Nidhi knew if she will refuse this Armaan will be trapped more than her and things will only get worse..
...
Paper Marriage happend with Vikas, Piya, Armaan witnessing and then this brand new problem where embassy started its interviews and investgations.. "Ufff!!!" Nidhi hit her head hard.. "Listen!! i cannot shift okay! Vikas, Piya, Sid! Yeh sab kya sochen gay mere baare mein?? Agar sirf tum hote to baat alag thi.." She made a face..
"Yeh sab sirf isliye ho raha hai because Shilpa happend to me! Warna abhi tak thande bethe thai yeh saare kameene!!" He gritted his teeth..
"Yaar meri family kya sochegi mere baare mein??" Nidhi as nervously..
"Oh behna!! Family tak koi nahi ja raha hai!! chill!!" He held his hands togather in front of her.. "Itna to in jahillon ko bhi pata hai k aisi wesi harkat ki to inka blackmailing part hua khatam aur hum log hue phurrr... Itna to unhe bhi andaaza hai k kitna bardaast karenge hum!" Armaan scowled...
"Jo bhi hai! it will be hell awkward yaar!! main jaanti bhi nahi hun theek se sid ko.. interview is definitely going to be a mess.. mujhe nahi samajh araha kuch.." Nidhi was highly upset..
"Dekho ab tum over analyse kar rahi ho!! Yahan koi tumhe judge nahi karne wala hai okay! Aur karta bhi hai to bharr mein jaye tumhe kya leyna deyna hai sab se?? The goal is to get through this..." Armaan tried to convince her..
...
Piya's frequent visits and more conversation between all reduced all the gape formed inbetween all of them due to this months distance.. Nidhi was relaxed and happy.. No one was judging her, everyone was hell supportive.. Quickly Sid and Nidhi had to find out as much as they can about eachother.. Obviously Nidhi was an observer and trained for this.. In no time she got all she needs to know but Sid was taking his time..
In terms of habits, Sid was way different from Armaan.. He was lazy in free times, he watches full movies adding all the fun element he can in between.. He can sleep late and wake up late.. No proper schedule was followed by him unlike Armaan.. He would sometimes just talk and won't think before it.. He doesnt plans life.. he treats it as it comes, Enjoys it to bits.. He was kind of a bindaas person who was not trapped in any crapy dark situation and he was a loveable person..
Slowly and gradually Nidhi started feeling more and more comfortable around Sid.. It feels relaxing and fun to be around him.. He was careful and maybe a bit protected about her but never over... There is a kind of respect you develop for someone straight from heart and this is exactly what developed inside Nidhi for Sid.. They reached in that friend zone where to irritate their boss togather was hell of a fun.. There were alot many times weher Nidhi used to admire the kind of relationsip Piya Vikas share and she knew she will never have one in this life but with Sid!! Slowly it was developing somewhere inside...
Sid was becoming special without any signals.. Dreams were reaching Nidhi's eyes where she too have a normal life away from all tragic things.. But those were the only dreams she thought!! As soon as she realized she is loosing her heart to Sid and things which were never supposed to happen are happening, she had to back out immediately and ask for divorce..
It was decided that after Armaan's engagement with Shilpa, when they will return the divorce will happen... Sid first has plans not to go this early with Armaan but he was so confused about his newly developed feelings for Nidhi that he needed to get away from her and think.. He was sure he is in love with this strong, independent and at the same time scared girl but when she demanded divorce which was obviously in the list but still, it started hurting...
First Sid thought to discuss with Armaan but Armaan will definitely kill him he knew.. The whole game was of faith and trust which Armaan had on Sid and Nidhi had on Armaan plus Armaan Nidhi equation was hell confusing and they both never talks about it.. There was no time left where things can be discussed with Vikas Piya.. Vikas was already upset about his own family not telling him or inviting at Shilpa's engagement.. Time was surely not good for anyone..
...
Back in India, Armaan was sure of Shilpa and His relationship working out not because of some stupid trial test he has put on or because she didn't complain like other girls for not calling and bla bla.. She was shy and a bit reserved with him in the start and he was already loving it!! She was turning out exactly the kind of girl he would imagine in his dreamland.. Things were slowly changing between them bringing them togather in a comfort zone..
One more problem did occured while he was in Mauritius and it was Aliya and Rohail's relationship talk.. Hell No!!! Rohail or Rahul should never go thorugh any of the crap he is going through.. Rohail and Aliya?? From which zone and angle?? they will kill eachother and if Rohail's mood is off due to this then this means he just cannot think of it so A BIG NO!!
Again it was not so easy! Sid was in full support of bringing Rohail Aliya togather and so when Sid gave him an idea about making Aliya work with Rohail, Armaan too thought why not to just put this thing on a trial silently... He brought Aliya to office and Rohail's expressions were hilarious but he also made it clear to Rohail that he is supporting him in anyways he choose..
...
There has to be someone Sid needed to talk about his life other than Armaan! He has already witnessed his protective and careful nature towards Nidhi and so this discussion with Armaan has to be a disaster at the moment..
Aliya! Doesn't matter if she will beat him black and blue after hearing all this out but still she was with him since his childhood!! No one can better understand his feelings and thoughts better than her.. "Kya bola??" Aliya almost fainted when Sid narrated the whole incident to her.. "Neha Aunty will kill you!! Tum pagal to nahi hogaye thai??" She yelled at him..
"Dekho!! Main tumhe nahi samjha sakta why i helped and what sort of a situation it was.. Buss main Nidhi pe a ke atak gaya hun! Aur mujhe usske ilaawa kuch nahi soojh raha.." Sid spoke out in a serious tone..
"Atak gaye ho??" Aliya's jaw dropped down.. "What do you mean atak gaye ho?? you have any idea how she feels?? what sort of a girl she is?? uske life mein koi hai and bla bla??" Aliya asked narrowing her eyes..
"I know what sort of a girl she is, i know she has no one in her life.. and now shut up!!" Sid gritted his teeth...
"To tum ab usse shaadi karna chahte ho?? officially!!" Aliya asked with an open mouth..
"Yes!! and i want you to tell me k main bilkul serious sound kar raha hun iss baare mein! And i am right!!" Sid led out a deep breath..
"Yeah yeah!! very right!! Joote parenge naa sab se.. phir pata chalega!!" Aliya rolled her eyes. "Anyways.. ladki achi hai dekhne mein!! Aur i am with you!! lekin isse zyaada mein kya keh sakti hun??" Aliya raised her shoulders..
"Arre.. mujhe encouragement chahiye ladki!!" Sid pouted... "Do you know how big thing it is to go to Armaan and say k Armaan! main kameena pan kar raha hun! i am deceiving Nidhi in this part! Main divorce wagera kuch nahi de raha!!" Sid bit his lower lip..
"Hahahahaha!!!" Aliya burst out laughing... "Bhai ne tumhe zindaa jala dena hai jao bol k dikhao!! hahahaaha!! Oppar se neha aunty! wo to tumhe ghar se he bahar nikaal deingii!!" Aliya held her stomach..
"Yeh tum mujhe encourage kar rahi ho?? wow!!" Sid gritted his teeth...
"To tum baat he itni faaltu kar rahe ho!! Nidhi se baat ki tumne??" Aliya scowled..
"Its obvious i am gone a talk to her first!! Lekin kese samjhaoon??... umm yaar kuch hai beech mein ajeeb!! Wo Armaan k ilaawa koi aur clear nahi kar sakta mujhe.. lekin wo idiot mujhe pata nahi seedhi baat nahi sunega!! Ek to ajkal akele milte bhi nahi hai wo k dhung se baat ki jaye.." Sid made a face..
"Soch lo bachoo!! Joote na khane parr jaen? " Aliya warned him..
...
It was Atul's wedding and Armaan discovered few new things today! Shilpa's bond with his family, so many hopes in his family's eyes to see them togather.. OMG! He just can't believe the sense of hurt and jealousy that took place inside him when he heard her name with Rohail.. He realized she has got that power over him like no one else.. There was no way he can question his feelings for her now! All relationship backgrounds and everything can go to hell! All he can see in her was the girl his alliance has been fixed and that he wants her in his life.. He wants to love her, he wants to be with her no matter whose sister she is, whose daughter she is or what sort of relationship she shares with anyone else.. She was fitting in his family perfectly no second thoughts about it!
A tear rolled down from his eye when he saw everyone enjoying including Shilpa from a distance and it hit him!! Some other girl's life is on stake because of him!! If Sid thought his changed behaviour towards Nidhi was going unnoticed by Armaan, He was wrong!! Armaan has seen the storm coming... He was only quiet because he knew Sid in and out and really wanted him to be the one for her if she accepts him in her life.. Sid can change her life.. give her what she had stopped dreaming off..
Shilpa was making him happy and dream on then why the same cannot happen to Nidhi?? He so wanted Sid Nidhi to happen and was just waiting to see how things are going to turn up..
Engagement was done and officially a new person landed in the list from where he can get easily blackmailed.. "Ab iska kya karun??" he took hours and hours to think.. He was a bit apprehensive too about this relationshilp with Shilpa.. what if she is not any different from other girls?? what if she consider this engagement ring as an offciall indication to bugg him and question him?? He don't want to be questioned.. Even the thought was quite irritating.. His personal space was very important.. He had already decided to leave it on fate, destiny or whatever it is.. If they will finally work out and get married at the end! he will reveal his secret to her or else he don't trust a single second of his life.. what if she is not good with keeping secrets or he dies before getting married? or something else happens and she don't become his wife?? No!! Do not trust anything until it happens..
Engagement ring has to be an special one of he let it be but he had choosen another ring in which a tracking chip can be fitted easily and she won't know it.. Obviously no one likes to be tracked down and its very unethical to do but here the scene was different with him.. He had to keep an eye on each single person he thinks he can be blackmailed with.. His life looks so cool and all when in reality it was hell and terrible!
Back to Dehli, Sid was fully ready to keep Nidhi's name infront of his mother Neha.. He was hoping that Neha will like her.. Abay and Neha were really cool parents.. Neha was not a complete house wife nor kind of a social brat who attends kitty parties or visits everyones house to hear out gossip and stuff.. She was a confident independent lady who works when she wants, sometimes may also help Abhay in handling any of his projects but it was all according to her moods.. She was a complete today's woman with her own sense of style..
When she walks, she had her own personality which sometimes makes people a bit intimidate of her.. Sid was the only son of them and his both parents respected his decision when he said he wants to go out and try new things of his own for a while as he knew at the end of the day he has to come back and handle the work his Dad is taking care of.. This Mallik Empire thing was kind of huge.. Head Office was in mumbai and branches were in Dehli and 3 more cities... Abhay handles as a head of Dehli branch and in this whole huge Mallik Family, Armaan and Sid were the only ones who keeps joining and leaving.. Armaan had his reason but for Sid, it was just about the experience he wants to gain on his own..
Neha was a bit strict too and that is Sid has to always think before putting any of his things forward... When he saw Armaan so so tensed, he just generally volunteered to which Armaan laughed and asked.. "Tum kya chahte ho neha chachi kya karen tumhara??"
"Abay to unko bata kaun raha hai?? i mean i know its wrong! lekin abhi kya kar sakte hain this is the only option... Kal ko usko jail mein kisi ne daal diya to uski reputation pe baat ajayegi.." Sid tried to clear himself.. Yes! he was a bit apprehensive about this but still he thought to help as a friend.. He knew if Shilpa was not in the picture, Armaan would have done that and because Armaan and Nidhi were so good friends so.. there woould be a high chance of turning this into a real lifetime commitment..
Anyways, the documents got signed and he fell in love later and now when he want this to be a life time commitment, Parents obviously have to jump in now but how??.. How can he even go and tell them he was just helping?? Neha will kill him and God knows what will happen with Nidhi's reputation.. If something goes wrong there Armaan will kill him..
Way back to Dehli he told Abhay about a girl he likes and all but things flushed down when Neha kept Aliya's name in front at the dinner table.. "Aliya k baare mein tumhara kya khayal hai??" Neha smiled..
"Aliya??" Sid's mouth hung up and Abhay's eyes came out.. "Aliya???" Abhay repeated after Sid..
"Yeh tumhe Aliya aur Sid ki shaadi ka khayal kahan se agaya??" Abhay quickly asked..
"Haan mom!! kya hogaya hai appko?? Armaan ki sagai ka kuch asar wasar hogaya hai kya app pe??" Sid was horrified..
"Kyun?? Aliya mein kya burai hai?? bachpan se donow saath ho!! saara waqt khurafati dimagh tum donow ka sath mein laga rehta hai! shaadi karne mein kya problem hai?? Aliya is perfect for you!" She smiled..
"Ahm aham.." Abhay patted Sid's shoulder telling him he is gone and Abhay is not ready for a argument with his wife.. If Sid will be ever able to deny Aliya then Abhay can actually think of talking about some oher girl and support Sid in it.. "Dad!!" Sid glared at him..
"I am speechless.. how can you even expect me to start a senseless argument!! Tumhari maa bohat chunn k ek naam samne le kar ayi hai and actually yes she is perfect!! lekin agar phir bhi tum koi dhung ki baat kar paye to i will surely support you!" Abhay chuckled while having a glass of water..
"Haan to Aliya mein kya problem hai??" Neha came back with a jug filled with water from the kitchen...
"Mom!! i don't see her like that.. Aliya and me.. No!!" Sid jumped up..
"Haan lekin agar tum thunde dimagh se socho gay to you will see her like that!! Mujhe koi dhung ki wajah to batao.." Neha was polite and completely talking in sense.. It was Sid who was stuck.. He can't reveal about Rohail Aliya neigther he can take any girls name infront of Aliya!! He knew no one is going to qualify at the moment...
...
Nidhi was back in Mumbai for a while due to her father's illness and both Armaan Sid knew about it.. It was just the badluck that Sid didn't got the chance to talk to her.. he knew very well that she has no one in her life and so he was hopefull..
Things twisted a bit when a proposal came for Nidhi and she was forced by her parents to atleast meet the guy.. Ooowww the bharti naari feeling! Marriage at the moment?? NO!!!! The guy was istting infront of her talking don't know what and she can actually say she started hallucinating Armaan standing infront of her and mocking at her face.. "Kyun beta?? mujhe to bada fate aur bla bla bhashan de rahi thi!! ab khud se ayi to kya hua?? See.. doosron ko advice dena bohat asaan hota hai!! jab khud pe ati hai to bohat phattee hai!!"
"No!!" A voice at the back of her head shouted... Worse already started happening! she was missing Sid and divorce has to be on cards now.. Hell it was only on paper but then why was she feeling as she belongs to him now.. "No No!!! sID!! NO Isko meri life se jald se jald jaana padega!!" She took her decision..
She made sure the guy and his family will never return back to her but straight away after that she called Sid and demanded Divorce as soon as possible.. she told him that Vikas can take care of legal things and divorce should he preponed!! "Dekho Nidhi!! Mera dimagh iss waqt bohat kharab hai i am not in a mood!!" Sid gritted his teeth.. There Neha has eaten up his head with Aliya and Abhay was of not much use.. Now here she is shouting for divorce.. "Mujhe nahi pata.. i just want it as soon as possible.." Nidhi almost yelled.. she too was not in a good state.. "I am so not giving you the damn divorce!! Just get that straight okay!!" He yelled back and threw the phone down... Nidhi was stunned.. She felt her breath stopping down "Armaan!!" escaped out of her mouth.. she can feel herself in hotwaters.. She knew divorce will happen anyways but some twist is definitely coming up..
...
Armaan wanted to clear few things and find out more about Shilpa.. what kind of girl she is thinking wise and all.. He wanted to clear his mind about her turning into some satilight over him or something and also he has to give her something...
One of the most relaxing sweet moments, he spent with her.. she seems to be really innocent and cute between this crowd.. Like a soft flower of rose!! In the start he was judging her rtying to shoo her away but he realized eve if he try he can not be judgy about her anymore.. She had broken that shell and was out in the air will him where she is what with anyone doesnt matter anymore.. He feels he just wana be with her and so he was with her.. He let himself be free away from all calculative thinking..
"Promise Ring???" Came out of Shilpa's mouth... she was surprised to see that... it was a decent and beautiful one..
"Haan!! Promise ring! Maine kaha tha mujhpe bharosa nahi karna... iss pe thoda bohat kar sakti ho!" He winked at her with a grin on his face...
"Hehe!!" She smiled with full heart seeing this romantic side of him...
"Thank You!!" She thanked him looking up at his face...
"You are most welcome!!" He returned a smile to her... He didn't think before saying it and doing it but later he felt he was so honest with her.. he was sure she was not going to take that ring off and so he was satisfied!! In the night when he hit the bed, he was actually feeling very relaxed and satisfied!
...
Enough done bickering with both Nidhi and Neha, Sid felt like as if he has started going insane.. He practically started dancing when he found Armaan's sim in his wallet and took it as a sign.. Just something weird happened telling him that Armaan will not kill but help!
Nidhi on the other hand too had enough, struggling between reality and feelings she actually took Armaan's words for her that 'You step India and Hell will start' She decided to be back the very next day and now this is something Armaan Mallik needs to fix.. she had no one else other than him to talk to about all this crap!!
Bidding bye to Nehal, her brother she pushed her trolley and started walking... "Huh!! Things will sort out now!!" She told herself and suddenly getting pushed by someone in rush fell on someone which surprisingly turned out to be Armaan!!! Perfect timing!! Just the one she needed!
From the next part story will surely be back to the party night!!
Sameera
