10.In Each Others Arms
Armaan wakes up to see that it is almost eight o' clock and he has to reach office in an half an hour. He gets up to take a shower without noticing the things on the bed. Armaan walks out with a towel around his waist and sees his clothes ready for him on the bed along with his wallet and cell phone. Armaan was surprised because when he went in the closet to get some clothes, he couldn't figure out what to wear. Riddhima must have set his clothes, but when? Armaan gets ready and walks downstairs.
Riddhima sees Armaan descending down the stairs in a gray suit with a black shirt and black tie. Riddhima smiles slightly, seeing the clothes she put out for him before he woke up. Today, was his first day back at work after their wedding. Armaan walks in the kitchen and sees Riddhima look away from him quickly. Another thing that made him confused was, Riddhima was dressed in her office clothes. "Tum bhi office aa rahi ho?" Armaan asks. Riddhima looks at Armaan and nods. "Tumhe ghar main nai rehna chaiye?" Armaan asks. "Abhi waqt hai jab main maternity leave loon," Riddhima says. "Riddhima, tumhe office aane ki koi zaroorat nai hai," Armaan tells Riddhima. "Please, sirf kuchi mahino hai phir main ghar main hi toh hogi," Riddhima whines like little kid which surprised both Armaan and Riddhima. The pregnancy is getting to Riddhima. "Theek hai. Lekin agar kuch bhi hua toh tum ghar main hi rahogi," Armaan warns. Riddhima nods in agreement. Riddhima turns around to get the rest of the breakfast and put it on the table. Armaan looks down at his clothes then at Riddhima's back. He wanted to ask her if she put his clothes for him, well obviously she did, but why? "Uh...Riddhima," Armaan said to gain Riddhima's attention. "Hm," Riddhima replies. "Tumne mere...kapre kyun nikale?" Armaan asks. Riddhima looks at him then turns her head back. "Thake aap ka...time nai waste ho...kapre nikal ne mein," Riddhima lies. She took Armaan clothes out because she wanted to. Armaan could tell that she was lying and he knew the real reason. She wanted to take his clothes out and that thought made him smile. He sits down with a smile on his face.
Armaan drives to the building to see everyone stand up making Armaan and Riddhima confused. "Sir, congratulations! Aap ki aur Riddhima ma'am ki shaadi ke liye," one of the employees say. Armaan and Riddhima look at each other then back at the employee. The wedding was private so Armaan didn't tell the reason for his absence to his staff members, but how did they find out? Riddhima looks around to see the staff looking at Armaan and her with grins on their faces. Everyone knew that Armaan was married before and now her and Armaan's marriage and no one is questioning them. "Thank you," Armaan said slowly and shakes his employees hand. Armaan and Riddhima walk towards the elevator and along the way they kept on getting wishes.
Once they reached to the floor, everyone stood up on seeing the newly wedded couple. Armaan and Riddhima give them a smile and go their respective cabins after giving each other a glance. Riddhima sits down in the chair and sighs. She looks around her cabin and puts her hand on her stomach. "Mujhe aap ka intezaar hai," Riddhima whispers looking down at her stomach.
Armaan walks in his cabin to find his friends sitting on the couch and looking at him with huge grins, kind of freaking him out. "Tum sab yahan kya kar rahe ho?" Armaan asks. Rahul gets up and stands next to Armaan as he puts his arm around Armaan shoulder. "Tumhari aur Riddhima ki nayi nayi shaadi hui hai aur tum dono ek hi office main kam karte hain. Toh tumhare dost hone ke naate humara farz banta hai ke hum tumhara aur Riddhima ki taang keeche tumhare sare staff member ke samne," Rahul says. Armaan glares at Rahul. "Lekin isse pehle hume Riddhima ko bhi batana hai ke hum yahan kyun aaye," Atul said, standing up. "Guys, tum yahan se abhi ke abhi chale jao varna main security ko bula loonga," Armaan said, pointing a finger as he warned them. "Haw, Armaan tum apne dosto ko apne office se nikal rahe ho. That's very bad," Muskaan said while wiping fake tears. Armaan rolls his eyes at his nautanki friend. "I know Armaan. Humne yeh tumse expect nai kiya tha," Anjali said with a pout. "Oh shut up and get out!" Armaan says. "No," all of them reply simultaneously making Armaan even more freaked out. "Chalo na," Rahul says, dragging Armaan as the rest follow.
"Hi Riddhima!" all of them say except Armaan as they barged into Riddhima's cabin. Riddhima looks up and quickly stands up. "Kya hua? Boss ke dekhe dar gayi," Muskaan said, walking and standing next to Riddhima. "Muskaan," Armaan says with gritted teeth. "Mujhe pata hai. Armaan darawani lagta hai," Muskaan said, ignoring Armaan and talking to Riddhima. Riddhima gives her a quick fake smile then looks at Armaan. "Tum...sab...yahan?" Riddhima asks. "Haan, hum sab yahan iss liye hain kyun ke hum tumhari aur Armaan ki taang keechne aaye hain tumhare sare staff members ke samne," Anjali says with an arm around Riddhima's shoulder. "Kyun?" Riddhima asks, scared now. "Don't worry, itna kuch nai hoga bas thoda sa hi," Anjali says. "Guys, please," Armaan begs them. "Come on Armaan, don't be a spoil sport," Atul says. "Mera tera moo spoil kardo ga," Armaan glaring at Atul. Atul steps back with his hands up in surrender. "Atul," Armaan changes his tone from rude to sweet, making Atul look at him confused and same with everyone else. "Main tera bhai hoon na?" Armaan asks with his arm around Atul. Atul looks at Armaan's arm then at Armaan. "Haan," Atul answers. "Main tera bada bhai hoon ya chota?" Armaan asks. "Obviously, tu mera bada bhai hai," Atul says. "Toh apne bade bhai ki baat sun aur nikal ja yahan se aur saath main iss ghade aur churailo ko bhi lekar jaana," Armaan says in a rude tone. "Abbe ghada kisko bola?" Rahul says. "Oye churail kisko bola?" Anjali and Muskaan said. "Tum teeno ko aur abhi jao varna main police ko bula loonga," Armaan said. They knew Armaan, Armaan could do anything. No matter how risky or dangerous, he could do it. But the word police scares the crap out of everyone. All four of them disappeared and Riddhima looks at Armaan. Armaan sighs and looks at Riddhima then walks out of her cabin.
Riddhima walks down in the canteen to get something to eat when she sees the canteen decorated with balloons and streamers. "Hey Riddhima," said one of the co-workers of Riddhima, Sachi. "Sachi, yeh sab kya ho raha hai?" Riddhima asks. "Tumhare aur Armaan sir ki shaadi ki khushi main yeh sab ho raha hai," Sachi says. "Lekin Armaan sir hai kahan?" Riddhima asks. "Mujhe kya pata. Tumhe pata hona chaiye, ab woh toh tumhare pati hai," Sachi says the last part teasingly and nudges Riddhima's shoulder with hers. Riddhima blushes and looks down shyly. "Jao jaldi se apne unko bulao," Sachi pushes Riddhima, startling Riddhima which made her trip over her own foot.
Two pairs of strong arms caught Riddhima before she could hit the tiled floor. Riddhima looks up to find gray-blue eyes looking down at her and his face did not look happy. It was Armaan holding her with a not so happy face. He said if something happens then she is going to stay home. Now that something dangerous that could harm her and the baby, she has to stay home. Armaan helps Riddhima stand straight. "Chalo Armaan sir bhi aa gaye. Cake kaat the hain," said a male employee. Armaan and Riddhima get leaded to a table where a cake was set for them to cut. Riddhima holds the knife and waits for Armaan to put his hand on hers, so they could cut the cake together. Riddhima looks at Armaan, by turning her head slightly towards him. Armaan looks down at Riddhima and puts his hand on Riddhima's. Armaan and Riddhima cut the cake together while everyone else claps and cheers. "Ab ek dusre ko khilao," said Sachi. Armaan and Riddhima look at Sachi. Riddhima takes some cake on the fork and holds it up to Armaan's lips. Armaan looks in Riddhima's eyes as she looks up at him innocently. Armaan takes the bite then feeds Riddhima some cake.
The whole day, some people brought presents for Armaan and Riddhima or wanted to talk to them. Some employees even teased them making Armaan a little embarrassed and Riddhima blush. Now they were going back home. After parking the car, Armaan gets out and goes to the trunk to take all the gifts inside. Riddhima stands beside to help him. "Tum andar jao," Armaan tells Riddhima. "Itne sare - " Riddhima starts. "Maine kaha na, andar jao," Armaan says sternly. Riddhima could tell he was mad at her because of that fall. Riddhima turns around and walks inside the house as Armaan brought the gifts inside.
Riddhima walks in their room after cleaning the kitchen and sees Armaan working on the laptop. They barely got any work today because everyone was celebrating Armaan and Riddhima's wedding more than Armaan and Riddhima were. Riddhima moves the covers and sits on the bed with the her back against the headboard with a pillow placed behind her back to give her comfort. "Aap abhi bhi mujhse naraz hain?" Riddhima asks, softly. Armaan looks at Riddhima and shakes his head. "Tumne mujhe dara diya tha," Armaan said, looking back at the screen of his laptop. Riddhima scoots closer to Armaan and Armaan looks at Riddhima. "I'm sorry," Riddhima apologizes looking in Armaan's eyes. Armaan nods, "Its okay." Riddhima sees him turn his head back to the screen of the laptop and sighs, sadly. Armaan hears her sigh sadly and feels her move away from him. He grabs Riddhima's wrist, making Riddhima look at him, surprised. Armaan looks at Riddhima and pulls her close. He makes Riddhima put her head on his chest and wraps his arm around Riddhima. Riddhima smiles small and puts her hand on his chest, next to her face. Armaan continued doing his work as Riddhima slowly fell asleep.
Riddhima wakes up to find herself in Armaan's arms. She looks up to see Armaan sleeping peacefully with his arm around her. Riddhima blushes and smiles shyly and sits up. Riddhima felt a breeze on her back and felt also something warm on her back. That's when she realized Armaan's hand was under her shirt. Riddhima closes her eyes and lets out a shaky breath. It caused goosebumps to form on her skin. She slowly reaches back and holds Armaan's hand to move his hand away from her back. Feeling a cold hand on his wrist, Armaan wakes up. He looks up to find Riddhima trying to get his hand out of her shirt. Armaan quickly moves his hand and sits up. Riddhima sits still and looks down in her lap. Armaan had his head down but his eyes looks at Riddhima. Riddhima slightly turns her head towards Armaan to get a peek at him, but finds him looking at her. When their eyes met, both of them look away from each other. Riddhima gets off the bed and walks in the bathroom. Armaan sighs and lays back down.
Their morning was quite awkward. They didn't look at each other or even talk to each other. On the way to the office, Riddhima's hand accidentally brushed his that was on the gear because she had reached over to get her coffee from the cup holder. When their hands touched, Riddhima looked up at Armaan to see no affect on him. Riddhima looks down sadly, but she didn't know what was going on inside of Armaan. When Armaan felt Riddhima's hand brush his he felt a sensation go through him like a spark. He closes his eyes for a second then concentrates back on the road. They reach the office and again go to their respective cabin's. Armaan didn't call Riddhima on purpose to his cabin because he didn't want to face her. He had emailed her to email him his schedule. Armaan didn't even want to even hear her voice because it would do crazy things to him.
Armaan walks out of his cabin to, but stops when he sees Riddhima laughing with Sachi. Armaan's eyes were stuck on her, for some reason they wouldn't move. Out of nowhere the wind started to blowing causing Riddhima's hair to blow around her head. What made the scene even more beautiful was Riddhima's laugh. Her eyes glowed as she laughs. Armaan stares at Riddhima with a dazed smile as his heartbeat starts to race faster when he feels a light push. "Sorry sir," apologized one of the employees. "No, its okay...and thank you," Armaan says then turns around, leaving the poor confused guy on thinking why is boss thanked him when he bumped into him. Armaan shakes his head as he gets in the elevator. He was staring at Riddhima. That was something new. In the past three years he has never looked at Riddhima that way. Armaan is going crazy along with a new feeling inside of him.
Armaan reaches the first floor where the entrance of the building is and walks towards the conference room when he bumps into another employee. "Vijay, sorry," Armaan apologizes. "No Sir, its okay," Vijay replies with a huge smile. Armaan narrows his eyes at Vijay. "Vijay, aaj tum bohut khush lag rahe ho," Armaan says, noticing the huge smile. "Haan Sir," Vijay replies with a shy smile, shocking Armaan. "Kiss khushi main tum itne khush ho?" Armaan asks with a smile. "Mujhe pyar ho gaya hai," Vijay says, looking at Armaan. Armaan gives Vijay a teasing smile. "Really? That's great. Kisse?" Armaan asks. "Woh mere bachpan ki dost hai," Vijay answers with a shy smile. "Wah Vijay tu toh chuperastam nikle," Armaan said. "Aap bhi toh chuperastam nikle," Vijay said. "Kaise?" Armaan asks, crossing his arms cross his chest and leans his head forward. "Aap aur Riddhima ma'am ki shaadi. Aap ne kisi ko bataya bhi nai aur shaadi karli," Vijay said. Armaan looks at Vijay and uncrosses his arms. "Uh...um woh chod aur batao ke pyar kaise hua?" Armaan asks, interested in his employee's/friend's love story.
"Main aur meri family uske ghar gaye the dinner ke liye. Woh meri choti behn ke saath baatein kar rahi thi aur haans rahi thi jab maine usse dekha. Na jaane kahan se hawa chalne lagi aur mere dil ki dhadkan aur bhi tez hone lagi. Uski haansi hi mere dil ko chu jaati hai. Jab woh hasti nai hai toh main bhi nai khush hota," Vijay said in his dreamland. While Vijay was talking, Armaan remembers that the same thing happened with him when he looked at Riddhima. "Aur...aur tumhe pata chala...ke tum...usse pyar karte ho?" Armaan asks, a little scared of asking the question. "Haan," Vijay answers. "Hey!" Sachi says with Riddhima next to her. "Chalein, meeting dus minute main shuru hone wali hai," Sachi says. "Arre haan main toh bhul gaya," Vijay says and Vijay and Sachi walk away. Riddhima looks at Armaan to see him pale. "Aap theek hain?" Riddhima asks worriedly. Armaan looks at Riddhima and nods. They walk to the conference room in silence. Armaan's mind was started to hurt because he was thinking too much about the situation that happened with him when he looked at Riddhima. Also, Vijay said that he fell in love with his childhood friend like that and it kind of scared Armaan that he loves Riddhima.
Throughout the meeting, Riddhima noticed Armaan sometimes massaging his head and closing his eyes for a while when no one was looking. This made Riddhima worried and Riddhima looks at the clock to see fifteen more minutes of the meeting left. She just wants these fifteen minutes to go by fast so she can get some coffee for Armaan. In the morning he barely ate anything. Right when the meeting ended, Riddhima rushed out of the conference room towards the canteen. She orders coffee and waits for it to be made. "Riddhima, aao na aur humare saath lunch karo," Sachi said. "Nai phir kabhi," Riddhima said and leaves with the coffee.
Riddhima opens the door of Armaan cabin to see him leaning his head back on his chair. Armaan looks at Riddhima when he hears the door of his cabin open. "Coffee," Riddhima says, holding the cup up. Armaan sighs and nods at her for her to put it down. Riddhima puts the coffee down on his desk and looks at Armaan. "Main jaanti hoon ke aap ke sar main dard hai toh please coffee pee lijiye ga," Riddhima tells Armaan then walks out of Armaan's cabin and closes the door behind her. Armaan looks down at the cup of coffee then at the door that Riddhima just walked out of. He picks up the cup and takes a sip of the coffee.
