3 years later

"Riddhima, u r looking gorgeous. Kisi ki nazar naa lage.", Nikita said and placed a black dot behind Riddhima's ear. Riddhima shyly smiled. "Everything is good naa?", she asked nervously to be sure.

Nikita held her shoulder and with an assuring smile, she said, "All is perfect. Armaan toh tumhe dekhkar lattoo hoh jayega." She said the last line with a wink and Riddhima felt herself going all red. She had never felt like this before but today was something special, it was her wedding day. "Aaj main Armaan ki hone ja rahi hu, humesha ke liye. Thank u bhagwan mere life mein yeh din laane ke liye.", she thought and smiled.

"Riddhima ji, now plz do the favour and come out of your future plans. Mahurat ka time ho raha hai.", Nikita said mischievously and blushing, Riddhima stood up from the bed. She stood in front of the mirror for a final check. Seeing herself in a heavy pink-embroidered lehenga with jewelries made of diamonds around her neck, wrists and ears, she contently smiled. Her dream was going to come true after all.

"Chale?", Nikita asked affectionately and Riddhima slowly nodded.

Armaan, in a classy off-white sherwani, was sitting in the mandap and was constantly stealing glances at the stairway. "Where r u, Riddhima?", he said in his mind impatiently. Frowning, he looked at the holy fire and just then a woman said, "Yeh lo, dulhan aa gayi."

Joyfully, Armaan looked up at the stairs and there he felt the moment had stopped. Nikita and Riddhima were descending the stairs. Nikita was holding Riddhima's arms while Riddhima had her eyes lowered and a slight smile curved on her lips.

Seeing his jhalli as his bride was something he always wished for and today it was going to be true. He couldn't take his eyes off from Riddhima who was his monkey best friend for 15 years, girlfriend for 3 years, now will turn his wife in just few minutes and this will be for eternity. Wow! What a unique journey! He thought and smiled broadly.

Nikita made Riddhima sit beside Armaan. "Jaan lene ka iraada hai kya?", Armaan whispered naughtily leaning his face towards Riddhima. "Kya??", Riddhima asked slowly with a confused look.

Armaan sweetly smiled and said, "Looking breath-taking, would-be-wifey." "Thanks would-be-hubby.", Riddhima replied and blushed.

The pandit recited all the spiritual verses and one by one, the marital rituals went on. DJ, Atul, Anjali, Nikita and Rahul kept on smiling seeing Armaan and Riddhima finally bonded into the sacred bond of matrimony and inwardly prayed for their happy married life.

Finally the marriage was over. Armaan and Riddhima took the blessing from DJ and hugged all their friends and received equal warm and tight hugs back. They also received best wishes for a bright future together.

"Make a good use of the honeymoon suit tonight.", Rahul said teasingly standing in between Armaan and Riddhima and placing his hands around their arms and the rest of the friends laughed. Riddhima's cheeks turned crimson red while Armaan glared at his friends.

"Okay baba, stop cursing us in ur mind and just go and enjoy.", Nikita said to him and the others, agreeing with her, stop pulling legs of the newly wedded couple. After the final hugs, they all went to their own destination.

Armaan and Riddhima entered their king-sized honeymoon suit bedroom and hugely smiled seeing it amazingly decorated with red balloons, roses and candles, in short, a perfect atmosphere for the union of two souls.

Smiling, Armaan turned to face Riddhima but seeing her too exhausted, he said sweetly, "Riddhima, u seemed tired. I think u should fresh up." "Okay!", Riddhima nodded, walked in front of the mirror and started to take off her jewelries that were making her skin itching.

As Armaan was tired so he just sat on the bed and kept on staring at Riddhima. Suddenly, something struck his mind and with a naughty smile, he said, "Riddhima, I have heard that usually in the first night, the husbands take off the wives' jewelries."

Riddhima stopped her activity and stared at Armaan through the mirror. Her face looked like she had suddenly some sort of shock. "Armaan, ek baat kahu?", Riddhima asked hesitantly.

"Sure!", Armaan said with a smile. "Before being in love, we were best friends. We are even that now. We have even shared the same bed for quite a lot of times in our childhood so now.. suddenly.. I mean.. don't u feel strange?", Riddhima asked with a cute and amazed expression.

"Yeah its strange but that's what is supposed to be naa. After all, we are husband and wife now, so we should live in that way. You know what I mean.", Armaan said to Riddhima. His expression turned the naughtiest and he started taking slow steps towards her.

Even before Riddhima could move or run away, Armaan hugged her from behind. She closed her eyes to feel the special moment and her breaths turned heavy. Caressing her back sensuously, Armaan moved away her hairs and removed her necklace with his fingers rubbing her skin giving her a warm sensation. Then he placed a soft kiss on her back. Feeling it, Riddhima clutched her lehenga in her fist and immediately ran to the washroom to hide her boiling cheeks. Armaan broke in a chuckle.

Wearing a pink coloured night-gown, Riddhima came out of the washroom after 15 minutes and there she froze when she saw Armaan, in his black pajamas, sitting on the bed and gazing intensely at her. Swallowing saliva in nervousness, she looked here and there as if she didn't know anything.

Armaan stood up and headed towards Riddhima, who was just standing still with all kinds of nervousness on her face. "Why are you getting so damn nervous as if I'm gonna eat u?", Armaan asked and smirked. Riddhima was nervous with his closeness for the first time and he was just loving it.

"Actually.. I mean.. I actually mean..", Riddhima fumbled with words and just closed her eyes to calm herself. "What the hell is happening with me today? Uff!", she said to herself in her mind in irritation.

"By the way, Riddhima, you didn't wipe off the water on your neck properly.", Armaan said seriously. Riddhima opened her eyes and got confused. "I'll do it right now.", she said casually and turned to the washroom again but suddenly she was pulled back by Armaan and there she bumped with his chest with a thud sound.

Armaan felt Riddhima's drenched hairs on his face and smiled inhaling its fragrance. He moved the hairs to the other side of her shoulders, wiped off the water drops on her neck with his lips and slowly began to place a trail of wet kisses there making her moan in pleasure. After that, he turned her in his arms. They intensely gazed each other and in between this, unconsciously, he took off the upper part of her gown exposing her shoulders, hands and legs.

They had another passion-filled eye-lock. Riddhima just closed her eyes with a beautiful smile appeared on her lips. Armaan smiled seeing that angelic smile and lifting her in his arms, he walked towards the bed. Placing her delicately on the bed, he took off his t-shirt and landed on top of her. Leaning down, he kept on kissing her passionately everywhere except her lips. Finally Riddhima, not being patient anymore, pulled him holding his neck and sealed his lips with hers into an deep romantic kiss. Her hands slowly travelled to his bare back and rubbing it sensuously, she urged him to make his action more intense. As each second passed, the fire in their kiss increased until they pulled back in need of oxygen.

Armaan laid beside Riddhima. "Riddhima, tu jhalli ke saath saath wild bhi hai.", he said in a displaced breath. "This is just the trailer, Mr. Malik!", Riddhima said in the same way and Armaan widened his eyes. "Is this the same girl who was nervous a while ago?", he thought and even before he could think something else, he felt Riddhima's delicate body rubbing with his bare chest and her lips brushing softly on his neck and shoulders, which was enough to instigate him to start again what he was doing. In a blink, he pulled off the inner part of her gown that was the only barrier between them. Making her lay close to her, he kissed her everywhere, giving her love bites. Riddhima squeezed her eyes feeling the pain but on the same time, she slightly smiled as she was enjoying it. "Aaahh", a groan escaped from her lips. To lessen her pain, Armaan claimed her lips with his but this time, in a soft kiss. They kept on making love and surrendered themselves to each other in complete sense.

In the middle of the night, they were lying in each other's arms. "Tu bhi kam wild nahi hai.", Riddhima said mischievously and snuggled closer to Armaan inside the blanket, resting her head on his chest. "Tere hi sangat ka asar hai.", Armaan replied and giggled and suddenly he moaned, "Aaoouch!" "Kya hua Armaan?", Riddhima asked acting innocent. "Why did u bite me?", Armaan asked astonished. "Tu ne mujhe itni bar wild kehe diya ke socha ki apni wildness dikha hi du. After all, I'm wild, right?", Riddhima said and at last, ended up laughing. "Tu bhi naa kabhi nahi sudhregi.", Armaan said and shook his head. "I know!", Riddhima said with a proud smile which made Armaan laugh. He kissed her forehead and Riddhima hid her face in his chest. Soon they dozed off feeling the warmth of each other the entire night.
