Chapter 108

"I like this one," Riddhima commented, showing Armaan a sample of a lavender colour swatch.

"That's nice," he agreed. "But what about this one?" He asked, showing her his own selection - a midnight blue swatch.

The two of them were deciding on a colour scheme for their bedroom, finally having some time to focus on the renovation of the house. The last few weeks had been extremely busy with wedding prep and they hadn't gotten much time to work on the house. At first, Armaan had left all renovation decisions to Riddhima, but she had roped him in later, stating that they both had to live there so his opinion was just as important as hers.

"You know what, though?" Armaan added a few minutes later, "yeh dono colours achche hain, but they will definitely not match the photos I have up."

"Armaan!" Riddhima whined. "Hum photos utaar denge."

"Ph... Photos utaar denge? No way! Main apne photos nahi utaarunga," Armaan replied.

"But tumhe photos kyu chahiye? Mujhe nahi chahiye! Hum utaar denge!" she asserted.

"No, Basket. Mera room hai toh main decide karunga ki photos utaarni hai ya nahi, and I say no!" he argued.

"Sirf tumhaara room hai kya? Mera nahi hai?" she asked.

"Woh jo bhi ho," he muttered. "Photos toh nahi utrenge."

"Armaan," Riddhima moaned. "Please, humein pictures utaarne padenge, okay? Main poora din kya bas khudka chehra hi dekhti rahu?"

Armaan shrugged. "Did you think ki just because humaari shaadi hone wali hai main woh pictures utaar dunga?"

"Um... yes!" she exclaimed. "Mujhe aisa hi laga."

"Basket," he whined. "Tum aisa soch bhi kaise sakti ho. You know how much I love them!"

"Yeah, but... Armaan it will be so awkward for me! Tumne aisa nahi socha kya? What if you had to live in a room full of your photos?" She asked. Thinking for a second, she added, "You know what? Tum rehne do. Tumhe toh I'm sure bohot achcha lagega na aisa karna?"

"Of course," he replied, grinning toothily.

"Lekin, Armaan, please! Let's take down the photos," she pleaded.

"Nope," he answered, refusing to budge.

"Hum... hum mere photos ke badle hum dono ke photos bhi toh laga sakte haina? Please!" She bargained.

That definitely got Armaan interested. "I'm listening," he urged. "Go on."

"Um... it'll be so nice na," she added. "Itne saalon mein humaari jo bhi pictures hai, we'll put them up."

"Nah, that's boring," he said. "Puraane pictures kyu?"

"Puraane pictures nahi toh aur kaunse pictures?" Riddhima asked. "Ab kya photoshoot karwaye?"

"So smart, Basket!" Armaan exclaimed. "Mere saath rehke tum bhi bohot zyada intelligent ho gayi ho! Photoshoot karte hain!"

"Armaan! That was sarcastic," she replied.

"Hoga sarcastic, but I love it! Hum karenge," he asserted.

"No, Armaan! Abhi already hum itne busy hain. Itni saari tayyaari karni hai, itna sab plan karna hai. Aur ab yeh sab add karne ka time kahaan hai?" she asked, pretty rhetorically, but he answered anyway.
