I Will Hold You.... Little Longer

13 - Happy trails

"Trust the timing of life All we have is now."

*Ding Dong*

Ridhima rushes to open the door but instead of fleeing it open she waiting to catch on her breath before opening the door. Calming her racing heartbeat she opened the door with a smile in anticipation of being greeted by Armaan but instead it was their Newspaper guy who came on the door to settle the bill for the month.

Disappointed ridhima went in a huff to bring her purse to settle the bill and get over with it so she can go back waiting and planing the day out with Armaan.

5min later once again doorbell went off making her run once again. Once again she waited to catch on her breath and opened the door. once again having a big smile on her face to greet the person she has been waiting for.

even this time she faced someone else, looking up with a question mark on her face she stares at the person.

"The Maintenance charges" the man demanded. Once again she went in to fetch her purse to settle it.

Closing the door behind she blabber to herself "Why god. Now that I am trying, then why are you doing this to me." she demanded an answer from the power who can hear you as some say but never speak back to you all say.

The doorbell rang once again and again the routine or run, waiting, calm, smile and opening door followed but again faces disappointed.

"Miss Gupta your courier has been dispatched to Switzerland here is your receipt. Pay it in a day or two" the woman demanded handling her the piece of paper holding the invoice.

Being disheartened she hold the invoice in hand and nodding her head accepting her words. Closing the door behind she went to her room to keep the stupid piece of paper safely near her work-related papers. The piece of paper seems stupid to her at the moment but if she loses it then she would be in debt of 50000 Euro on the company account but at moment its stupid €50000.

After 30 minutes once again bell rang. Ridhima has lost interest in opening the door, to all the known faces greeting her back. This time she didn't follow any routine of today for opening a door.

Instead of being disheartened she spoke while opening the door "Ab mein Ek aur bill nahi pay kar rhi. Kya chaiye" she spoke back in Hindi as she knows one will understand her but she had to take out her frustration too.

"I will pay if you like & kya chaiye is I like Ek smile" The familiar voice greeted her. Ridhima looks at the person with interest. "Armaan..." she kind of whispered.

"Yes. Ma's." be bowed in front of her. "May I," Armaan asked to come inside as she was standing on the door blocking and not saying anything.

Coming out of shock she moved sideways giving him the way to come inside. Walking in he kept a big pack on the table greeting muskaan with a hug and asking her with eyes whats with ridhima.

"She has been rushing to open the door for a while now waiting for you and every time one or other bill was handed to her. " she giggled.

Armaan was touched to know she has been waiting for him. If the excitement of him coming back, the vocal she got with him didn't surprise him enough this was additional to it.

she is getting all excited to see me, meet me. I hope things go in a good direction from here. He sincerely hoped.

"Ridhima" he called out to her. Moving towards her he pulled her inside a hug asking her how she has been.

"Hunh." was all she was about to whisper but as soon as she felt him pull her inside hug she felt her brain freeze and heart racing so badly.

If Muskana was not wrong she witness Ridhima blushing with a mear hug from Armaan. She has fallen for the person and it's not far when she will realize it is real and accept the fact too. to herself and everyone. Most importantly to the person, she is in love with.
