'Hmmm... I was wondering, can u go out with me tonight...' Armaan asked...
Armaan hold his breath for a second not knowing wht will Riddhima answer be...
'Kya.. Bahar...' Riddhima asked as if she was shocked to hear this..
'Kyu... Tum mere saat baahar nehi jaa sakte kya...' Armaan asked while pouting...
'Woh main...' Riddhima stop and for Armaan it seems the clock stop at the moment not knowing wht will be Riddhima answer...
'Woh main kiya Riddhima...' Armaan ask...
Riddhima look at his expression and hiding her naughty smile, with a serious face she said...'Armaan... I am so sorry... Lekin main raat koh kissi aur ki saat bahar jaa rahi hoon... Maine already use promise ki main uski saat jaungi...'
Armaan was shocked to here this...
Only last night they confess and tonight, she is going out with someone else...
'Koan hai woh...' Armaan ask making distance between them...

Armaan didn't get the clue that Riddhima was messing around him... As Armaan said he is much more naughty then her, Riddhima thought to have some fun with him when he ask her if she could go out with him...
'Koi hai...
Jo main bohot pyar karti hoon... Aur maine use promise kiya...
Ab promise toh tod nehi sakti na... Accha nehi lagta...' Riddhima said moving away as Armaan make the distance between them...

Riddhima move closed to the railing looking at the cloudy sky, as it was getting ready to pour the water which it was collecting from few seconds, or minutes...
Armaan was on the spot where he had been standing not believing his ears... He just keep looking at Riddhima as she moves to the railing looking at the sky and enjoying the coldness...

When Armaan didn't say anything, Riddhima turn to look at him who was looking at her with a blank expression... Smile form in Riddhima lips as the naughty spark play in her big eyes... Knowing she was successful to play the prank on him...
'Kya huva Armaan...
Aise kyu dekh rahi ho... Maine kuch galat kaha kiya...' Riddhima said acting all innocent...
'Nehi but...
How could u say yes to someone else Riddhima...
We just confess and u r going out with someone else just becox u promise... and Who the hell is he...' Armaan said as he frown asking those question and seeing Riddhima smile...

Seeing Armaan priceless expression, Riddhima couldn't control her smile anymore...
She started to laugh holding her stomach... This make a confused Armaan move confused...
'OMG Armaan... Look at ur face... hahaha...' Riddhima said while continuing laughing...
'Riddhima... Yeh sab kiya hai yaar...' Armaan said now moving to her...
'So how was it Mr. Not Super Cool Armaan Mallik... Am I Naughty or not...' Riddhima said controlling her laugh...

Now only it hit in his mind, she was messing around him just to prove she can be as naughty as he... But Armaan didn't like the fact that she said she was going out with someone...
'Riddhima...' Armaan call out her name pulling her in his arm...
Riddhima stop laughing when she felt the sudden pull and next minute she was in his arms... His arms around her waist pulling her closed while her hand on his chest...
'Armaan... Kiya kar rahe ho... Koi aajege... Leave me...' Riddhima said getting all alert with the sudden closeness...

Armaan was enjoying how Riddhima got all scared of the closeness and seeing her expression he thought of taking revenge... But it was a love and cute revenge...
'Kyun... Abhi toh bohot zor zor se has rahi ti... Ab kiya huva...' Armaan said...
Riddhima look at Armaan and then try to get out from his hold but he was much more strong for her...
'rehne de Riddhima... still i dont give a loose, u couldnt got out from my hold... Aise hilte rahengi toh tumhe hi dard hoga..' Armaan said...

Riddhima knows whtever Armaan said it was true... So she stop moving and look at Armaan with a pleasing expression...
'Its not gonna work Riddhima... So stop making those faces ok... Not before u tell me why u wouldn't go out with me tonight...' Armaan asked not wasting any more time...
'Maine kab mana kiya Armaan...
I just said ki main kissi ki saat jaa rahi hoon... Aur tum buddu hai toh main kiya karu...
Itna bhi yaad nehi hai kal raat tumne hi kaha mujhe bahar lejaenge aur phirse pooch rahi mujhse main jaengi ya nehi...' Riddhima said...
'So u think to play around with me for that hah... Not bad Ms.Riddhima soon to be Mallik..'Armaan said when he got wht she was doing...
'Aur nehi toh...
Mujhe kaise pata hota tum itni buddu ho...' Riddhima said with a naughty smile...
'Main Buddu nehi hoon okkk...
Accha toh tum mere saat chalenge na...' Armaan said not wanting to continue the argument...

Riddhima act like she was thinking... Then 'Tumhe Papa se...' Riddhima started to say but Armaan cut her...
'Papa aur Mamma dono se permission le li maine... Please please please ab toh bol doh jaenge...'Armaan said...
'Sabki permission le hi liya hai toh mujhse kyu pooch rahi ho...' Riddhima said with a cute pout...
'kyunki jaana toh tumhe hi haina mere saat... baakiyonki permission toh bas aise hi le li... Mujhe pata hai tum kuch na kuch bahana banaenge...' Armaan said...

Riddhima look at Armaan meeting her eyes with his thanking god for giving her such a good person as her life partner...
She was really feeling on the top of the world knowing how much Armaan care about her every small small thing... How he wants to make her feel comfortable around him and without her and other permission he wouldn't take any step in their life...

When Riddhima didn't answer or say anything, Armaan move his lips closed to her ear sending shiver down her spine... She closed her eyes when she felt Armaan hot breath on her earlobe...Her breath go fast and it was beating like she run for miles...
'I will pick u up by 7 30pm... Be ready...
And I know u says yes last night, Still I wanna conform if u may feel uncomfortable we can go some other time...
But ur silent says its a yes from ur side... So be ready... And wear white if u can...' Armaan said huskily and before moving out he kiss her earlobe and leaving a shocked Riddhima he went down to join their friends...

When Armaan leave, Riddhima hold the railing for support... The closed proximity reach to the deep spine of her body sending the new feeling inside her body...
It feels so much bless with so much new vibrates...

For sometimes, Riddhima was lost not knowing how to react... She never feels like this before if anyone come so closed to her... And she never let anyone come so closed to her... Not even that bustard...
Then how she let him come so closed... That too they just discover the new emotional that was building inside them... How fast she was moving on, she dont know why but when he is around her, she feels a secure that he is always there to protect her...



IN DOWNSTAIRS...



Everyone was so lost in the movie, they didnt know when Armaan aur Riddhima leave from there and when Armaan came back after spending sometimes with his girlfriend...
He took his place but his mind were busy thinking about one person...
He was so much happy that Riddhima is now in his life... After 2yrs, she was his now... No one knows how much he had wait for this day and he was in the top of the world...

He make a promise that he will try his best to give all the happiness she deserve in her life... Make her believe that he is different from others... How much she means to him... Not only she need her body, he needs her soul to live and breath...
Knowing very about her past, he felt bad for her but before knowing it he was so much in love with her, he just put the thought out from his mind making it understand he wouldn't let her know he knows about her past till she dont tell her by her own...

Also that he will wait for the day Riddhima come and share about her past, before that he wouldn't ask a single question and let her have her space to give this relation the time she needs...
He knows even she loves him a lot... and know he didn't have any fear... Fear of loosing her or she might walk away from his life...

He was busy lost in his thought when he felt a breeze past away making his sense awake letting him know she was around him... He closed his eyes feeling her present and slowly open his eyes to see her coming down from the stairs lost in her own thought...
He knows she was thinking wht just happen in the terrace... He also knows she was just discovering some new emotions and feelings... That she never discover before in her life...

Smile play on his lips seeing how much cute she was looking when she was in deep thought...
She look at him when she felt a strong gaze on her and knowing it was only him checking her out, i blush crept on her cheek turning it pink...
For a second their eyes met and soon Riddhima look away...
She move to the kitchen to keep her cup and came out to see everyone lost in the movie...

Riddhima look at Armaan who asked her to come and sit next to her through his eyes...Smiling with a shy smile, Riddhima sit next him and turn her gaze towards the movie...
Both was looking at the tv but their mind were somewhere else...



IN GUPTA HOUSE...


Riddhima was getting ready to go out with Armaan for their very first date...
Armaan had already call 10times just to conform she is going or not...Riddhima who got irritate with his calls, put the mobile to silent and told her mother not to pass any call to her till she didn't get ready...

She had gone to collect a new white evening gown which comes up to her knee leaving the beautiful long leg bare with matching high heels...
She got in the room at 6pm to get ready for her date...
Padma came to see her but she refused to open the door saying he is not ready yet...
She came back from Anjali place around 5pm as before that she had gone to the mall to pick up the dress...

Padma knock the door becox Armaan came on sharp 7 30pm...
He was waiting for her in the hall while Padma went to tell her Armaan was there... As Riddhima mobile was on silent, Armaan didn't bother to call her knowing she wouldn't answer...
'Kiya huva Mamma...' Riddhima call from inside...

Before Padma could turn around to leave she hear the door unlocked and she turn around to see her princess all set to go...
When she lays her eyes on her princess she was lost in words...



IN HALL...



Armaan was waiting for Riddhima to come soon... Padma welcome his inside with a bright smile and a hug... Letting him settle in the hall comfortably she went to call Riddhima...Shashank wasn't in home as he had to go for an emergency...
Armaan wait for his lady love to come and he look around the hall to see a wall with photos of the Gupta's...

He moved to have a closed look and saw his love looking the same in her childhood too... He was lost in admiring his love when he heard Riddhima giggle...
He turn around and forgot to breath the sight he saw in front of her...
Riddhima was coming down the stairs and Padma aunty said something near her ear that make her giggle and blush adoring her cheeks...

Armaan was on his step not moving his gaze or blink his eyes when he saw how beautiful Riddhima was looking in white evening dress which come up to her knee...
She was wearing matching high heels... Her hair was open to let it fly around her freely...
Little make up which show her natural beauty then hiding it from the make up... She put a simple necklace... One single bracelet on her left hand with a adoring ring... On right hand she wear a silver matching wrist watch...

She was looking like an Angel... She is an Angel... His Angel...
Which came to his life to make it so much beautiful then it was before...
Armaan lost of words and keep looking at him... No words came out from his mouth...
'Armaan...' Padma call her shaking him little when he didn't say anything...
'Haan Aunty...I mean Mom...' Armaan said moving his gaze away from Riddhima knowing he will be lost of word if he keeps looking at her...

Padma giggle to see blush crept of his cheeks when he was caught red headed glaring at Riddhima...
'Mamma...' Riddhima says when Padma giggle...
'Sorry Sorry...
But Armaan looks so cute when he blush... dekhona uske cheeks...' Padma said controlling her laugh...

'Mom...' He said while his pout deep when he saw Riddhima smile looking at him...
'Chalo.. Ab jao...
And Armaan... I want my daughter by midnight...
I trust u but still, I dont want my daughter to be out after midnight... Not till u two get married ok...' Padma said...
'Ji Mom...' Armaan said...

Armaan offer his hand to Riddhima who accept smiling with a blush on her face...
Saying bye to Padma who send them off from the front door, she closed the door praying to keep both AR happy like this forever...



OUTSIDE GUPTA HOUSE...


When they hear the door closed behind them, leaving Riddhima hands he pull her closed by her waist...
First Riddhima was shocked by his sudden action... But then soon relax...He led her to his car and before opening the door for her to sit, he open the back seat door and took out orchid bouquet just to see the most priceless smile adore in her face...

Armaan forward the bouquet which was accepted by Riddhima...
'To the Most Beautiful Girl in the world and Love of My Life...' Armaan said taking her right hand and kissing her on it...
'Thanks Armaan...' She said shyly as she was collage student and it was her very first date...
Armaan open the door for her like a gentlemen and Soon both were settle and drove of their destination for the night...

As Armaan was driving and every two second he keeps looking at Riddhima who was sitting next to him looking and admiring the beautiful orchids which was on her hand...
She always keep looking at him when she feels his gaze on her... and when their eyes met they smile to each other...
'Hum kaha jaa rahi hai Armaan...' Riddhima asked when Armaan didn't say anything and silently keep driving from the past 20mins...
'Surprise...' Armaan said smiling...
Riddhima pout when she hears it knowing he wouldn't give any straight answer... 'Armaan...'
'Haan Riddhima...' Armaan said the same tone Riddhima call his name... But ignoring Armaan was teasing her...
'Bolo na hum kaha jaa rahe hai...' Riddhima ask him again hope to get the answer...

Armaan stop the car side way... Then look at Riddhima and move closed to her... Riddhima was shocked by his sudden behavior...
'Kiya kar rahi ho Armaan...' Riddhima said moving back a little...
'U trust me...' It was Armaan question... Riddhima didn't know wht to say... Ofcourse she trust him but why was he suddenly asking...
'Haan but...' Armaan put his finger on her lips making her stop saying further...
He rub his thumb on her soft lips making her breath heavily and closed her eyes...

Armaan cup her one cheek with his palm and moving closed place a soft but gentle kiss on her other cheek...
Then he move his face closed to her ear whispering, 'If u do Riddhima, Let me take u to our destination...'
Armaan move and before Riddhima could open her eyes he cover her eyes with cloth...
'Armaan yeh...' She felt his finger on her lips again...
'Trust me...' Riddhima heard him saying and she didnt know wht else to say just nod her head...

Rest of the journey neither Riddhima said anything nor Armaan...
After driving for another 20mins, Armaan stop the car...
Going out from the car, Armaan came and open the door for Riddhima...

Taking her hand in his Armaan asked her to come out...With help of Armaan Riddhima came out and Armaan locked the car before moving ahead...
'Yeh tum mujhe kaha le jaa rahi ho Armaan...' Riddhima asked when they had been walking for like another 20mins...
'Bas hum pochgaye Riddhima...' Armaan said...

Armaan let go off her hand and move back to her to unfold the cloth which was covering her eyes...
Still Riddhima had her eyes closed...
Armaan smile to see the innocent lover of his and holding her side way from her hips he whisper... 'Ab aankhe kholo Riddhima...'

Riddhima slowly open her eyes...
She felt a cool breeze kiss her face making her hair fly... Warm smile took over her rosy lips glowing her face...
When she look ahead her, her breath got stuck...She only felt relax when she felt Armaan closed to her...She look around in amazing how much beautiful the place was...
