11.Everyone Knows
For the past weeks, Armaan and Riddhima have been going to work together and coming back home together. In the office, they will be boss and secretary and home they will be strangers. Armaan and Riddhima barely talk to each other when they are home, even though they share one room and they are having a child. When Armaan finds Riddhima not eating or doing something foolish, he will lose his temper. Riddhima is in the fourth month of her pregnancy and soon her baby bump will be starting show. The staff members still don't know about Riddhima's pregnancy and Armaan and Riddhima intend to keep it that way. But soon the word will be out to everyone about Riddhima's pregnancy and people will start to doubt them. Armaan and Riddhima's wedding was a shock to everyone but no one said anything as it isn't their business. Since their boss is so genuine and caring, they thought to give space and not ask Armaan anything. Armaan isn't the type to be strict but at time when its needed he is. Most of the time he's a laid back boss.
"Yeh kya hai Riddhima! Tumne subah se kuch bhi nai khaya aur lunch bhi nai tum kar rahi!" Armaan yells at Riddhima in his cabin. Riddhima looks down in guilt. "Riddhima, your pregnant! Tumhe apna khayal rakhna hai! Agar tum apna khayal nai rakho gi toh phir tumhari aur bache ki jaan ko khatra ho sakta hai!" Riddhima looks up at him with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry," Riddhima whispers in a barely audible voice. "Har waqt yehi kehti ho lekin kuch karti nai ho!" Armaan yells, complete irritated and angry. Armaan sighs with his hands on his hips. "Riddhima, please. Agar tumhe koi takleef ho rahi hai toh mujhe batao. Agar mujhe nai batana toh Anjali aur Muskaan ko toh batao," Armaan said. "Aise baat nai hai," Riddhima says, looking in Riddhima's eyes. "Toh kaunsi wajah hai ke tum apna khayal nai rakh rahi?" Armaan asks. Riddhima stayed silent. "Kya tum bache ko nai chathi?" Armaan asks. Riddhima looks up at Armaan in shock and shakes her head. "Nai, aisa nai hai," Riddhima says fast with her hands on her stomach, as if protecting her child. Armaan sees this gesture and feels proud, but still angry at Riddhima for not taking care of herself. "Toh phir kya baat hai?" Armaan asks. Riddhima sighs and turns slightly away from Armaan, making him confused. He walks up to Riddhima and stands behind her. Slowly and hesitantly he puts his hands on her shoulders. Riddhima closes her eyes, feeling Armaan's warm hands on her shoulders. "Riddhima, batao. Main tumhari madat karna chatha hoon," Armaan says in soft voice. A sound from outside the door made them look at the door. Riddhima looks up at Armaan as Armaan looks down at Riddhima, both wondering what it was. Armaan walks to the slightly opened door and opens the door to find no one. He sees everyone working in their places. Armaan looks around the floor, then walks back in. "Kaun tha?" Riddhima asks. "Koi nai," Armaan replies. "Anyways, abhi tum ek mahine main tum maternity leave pe hogi toh pura din Muskaan aur Anjali tumhare saath honge," Armaan says. Riddhima's eyes go wide. "M...Muskaan kyun? Anjali akeli...bhi toh aa sakti hai," Riddhima says, nervously. Muskaan will definitely make Riddhima go crazy. Muskaan's talks will never stop and neither will her yelling. Armaan hides his smile that was making its way to his lips. He knew Muskaan and knows that she will make Riddhima nuts, but at least Riddhima will be taken care of. Muskaan is very stubborn and gets things done her way. "Aur haan...ek aur baat, tum apne monthly check up pe tum Anjali ko kyun lekar jaati ho? Anjali ne mujhe bataya tha ke doctor ne kaha tha ke apne husband ko lekar aana," Armaan puts emphasize on 'husband.' Riddhima looks up at him and sees him looking at her. "Woh...main...woh...aap," Riddhima didn't know what to say. "Kya?" Armaan asks so she can go on while walking closer to her. Riddhima's eyes go a little wide on seeing Armaan walking closer to her. Her feet start to move back, trying to get away from Armaan. Armaan comes out of his daze and stops where he is and stares at Riddhima. Riddhima was just staring at him with a blank expression. "Sorry," Armaan apologizes with his side turned to Riddhima. Riddhima looks at Armaan for a while then walks out of his cabin to her cabin.
Riddhima enters her cabin and closes the door and breathes deeply. Riddhima smiles that Armaan was advancing himself towards her. She didn't do anything and he was coming towards her. Riddhima blushes and looks down. Could there be chance of them? That question always popped in Riddhima's mind when she sees something unusual of Armaan towards her. That question also makes her feel hurt that Armaan may not feel anything to her.
Armaan closes his eyes with his hands clenching into a fist. He punches the wall and stares at the wall in rage. "What the hell is happening to me?" Armaan questions himself. His heart always waited for Riddhima and when he didn't see Riddhima, his time would go gloomy. Most of the time, Armaan's mind would not be in his work. Before, Armaan's mind would be concentrated in his work 100%. Armaan sits on his chair and grabs a file, and roughly opens his. He lifts his eyes up from the file a little and Riddhima came to his mind. Armaan closes his eyes and shuts the file, harshly. When he closed his eyes all he saw was Riddhima. Armaan opens his eyes which showed his eyes red.
Riddhima was walking past the conference room on the first floor to hear: "Riddhima ne toh sirf Armaan ko use kiya hai," a female voice said. Riddhima stops on hearing her name and Armaan's. "Agar Armaan ko kisi bhi ladki ko lena tha aur usko main saath raat guzarni thi toh mujhe kyun nai liya?" said the same voice. Riddhima peeks in to see one of the young female employees, Maya. "I mean sab toh jaante hain ke main waise ladki hoon lekin Riddhima toh nai hai aur waise bhi, Riddhima ne toh sab paise ke liye kiya hai. Dekho na, ab woh Armaan ki "patni" ban gayi hai," Maya said with quotations around "patni." "Main nai jaanti thi ke yeh bholi bhali Riddhima itni chalak ho sakti hai Armaan ko pasane main," Maya said. Riddhima could listen to it anymore and ran away with tears in her eyes.
Riddhima shuts the door of her cabin, harsh, making the people outside look towards her cabin and even Armaan who heard the slam in his cabin. Armaan gets up and walks out to find everyone looking towards Riddhima's cabin. Armaan walks towards Riddhima's cabin, having a feeling that there was something.
Riddhima crying while she sat on the floor of her cabin. She feels disgusted and shame. Riddhima did have thoughts that when Anu left, Armaan will be hers. She thought that Armaan will love and take her as a true wife, but for Armaan it was all because of Anu. He did it for Anu, not for her. Of course, what man would want to spend nights with another woman when he was married to the perfect woman.
Armaan walks in Riddhima's cabin and Armaan sees Riddhima crying hard. He closes the door and walks over to Riddhima. "Riddhima, kya hua?" Armaan asks bending down next to Riddhima. Riddhima didn't say anything and kept on crying. "Riddhima, batao na ke hua kya?" Armaan asks. Riddhima stares at Armaan with a glare and her eyes bloodshot red. Armaan was surprised to find Riddhima glaring at him. "Kyun?" Riddhima whispers. Armaan was confused. "Main kyun? Koi ladki nai mili Anu ko!" Riddhima yells, standing up and Armaan standing up. "Tum kya kehna chathi ho!" Armaan yells. "Anu ne mujhe kyun chuna, aap ke bache ke ki Ma bane ke liye?" Riddhima asks, yelling. "Sab ko lagta hai ke maine yeh sirf paise ke liye kiya hai!" Riddhima yells. "Lekin tumne paise ke liye nai kiya yeh sab!" Armaan yells. "Yeh hum jaante hain lekin duniya nai jaanti. Sab ko kuch toh laga hoga jab humari shaadi hui thi!" Riddhima yells. Both of them stood in silence. "Main yeh sab se nai chupa sakti. Thodi mahino main sab ko pata chal jayaga. Chupane se kya fyada agar sab ko pata hi chal jayega. Main sab ko bata dogi. Log chahe kuch bhi kahe mujhe ab koi farak nai padega. Waise bhi mere paas hai kya. Sirf dusro ki nafrat," Riddhima says softly with tears running down her tears. This made Armaan angry. "Tum aisa kuch nai karogi," Armaan says in a deep and dangerous voice. "I'm sorry lekin main aisa hi karogi. Main apne bache ko logo se nai chupaogi! Waise aap ko kyun mujh rok rahe hain. Aap ko toh mere fikar bhi nai, pyar ko toh chode!" Riddhima yells at Armaan. Armaan felt like slapping her, but instead he grabs the back of her head and smacks his lips on hers.
Riddhima gasps when Armaan's lips came in contact with hers. Armaan runs his hands wildly on her back while Riddhima's hands went up to his head and massages his head, messing Armaan's hair. Armaan pushes Riddhima towards the wall and slides his hands under her shirt, and caresses her stomach. Riddhima gasps on Armaan's skin touching hers. Armaan turns them around so he was against the wall and she is in front of him. Riddhima has her hands on his back by now while Armaan's hands were under shirt and resting on her waist. Both of them kissing each crazily. They pull apart, breathing heavily. Riddhima looks up in Armaan's eyes and Armaan looks in Riddhima's eyes. He pushes Riddhima against the wall, again and kisses her neck. Riddhima closes her eyes and leans her head back, giving Armaan more access. Riddhima leans her head back down and opens her eyes slowly. Realizing what they are doing, Riddhima pushes Armaan. Armaan stumbles back and stares at Riddhima. Both looking at each other while gasping for air. Armaan wipes the his mouth with the back of his mouth and storms out of the room. Riddhima was scared at what he is going to do so she rushes out after him.
"Maya!" Armaan yells, causing everyone's attention on him. "Maya! Maya!" Armaan kept on yelling until Maya came. "Main tumhe kitni daer se awaaz de raha hoon aur tum itni daer baad aayi ho!" Armaan yells at her. "Sorry Sir," Maya apologizes. "Aur tumhe shauk kya hai dusro ke zindagi main dakal dena?" Armaan asks. Maya looks up at Armaan then looks over his shoulder to see Riddhima. "Haan Riddhima mere bache ki Ma ban rahi hai toh kya hai?" Armaan asks. Riddhima looks at Armaan's back in shock. Everyone look at each other shocked. "Bolo na. Chup kyun ho? Anu khudi Riddhima mere paas chod kar gayi thi. Ab Riddhima ki zimedaari meri hai. Agar usse koi bhi kuch bolega ya phir main suna toh main uss insaan ko chodo ga nai, jaise main tumhare saath kar raha hoon. Apna saman lo aur yahan se nikal jao. Your fired!" Armaan says. "Aap uss bholi bhali chehre ke peeche ek chalak chehra nai de sakte?" Maya talks back. "Riddhima itni bholi bhi nai hai. Sirf paise ke liye aap ko pasaya aur Anu ko bhi. Isiliye toh Anu ab humare saath nai hai." Armaan raises his hand to slap Maya but he feels a hand on his wrist. He sees Riddhima holding his hand and shaking her head at him. "Get out!" Armaan yells at Riddhima with anger in his eyes. He walks away with Riddhima after him.
"Rukiye! Rukiye!" Riddhima keeps on yelling until Armaan stops. He turns around abruptly causing Riddhima to bump into him. Armaan's arms go around Riddhima's waist, holding her securely closer to himself. He lets go of Riddhima after a few moments. "Ab tum khush ho? Sab ko pata hai ke tum pregnant ho." Armaan asks. Riddhima doesn't say anything except stare at Armaan. Armaan shakes his head at Riddhima then keeps on walking. Riddhima runs after him, but Armaan was way far ahead. They were outside. "Ahh," Riddhima screams. Armaan turns around to see Riddhima getting hit by a car and landing on her back. Armaan's eyes go wide and runs back to Riddhima and bends down next to her. "Riddhima! Apni aankhen kholo! Riddhima!" Armaan yells. Riddhima's eyes slowly shut and she went unconscious.

I'm so sorry for a late update and short update. This idea popped into my head and I think this part will make the story go further. I was expecting it to come out much more so that this idea will be divided into 2 parts but that didn't happen.
NOTE: Anways, many of you are saying to start Take My Hand soon, but right now that's my side project. I'm going to be concentrating on this FF first then will come Take My Hand. If you all comment enough and fast, the sooner Take My Hand will come. Also, many of you are asking me to finish Fanna too or tell you the ending. To tell you the truth, I had no ending to Fanna. I just started it with a rough sketch and went on with it. I was running out of ideas too. But there is great news, many of you liked the concept so I'm thinking to start a FF on a similar concept of Fanna, but that will be after Take My Hand. So right now I have like 3 projects in mind for FFs, along with school work. So, it will take time. You all just have to support me and comment. Please get your friends to also read my FF if they haven't. Thanks!
