Riddhima move the mobile away from her ear and look at the caller name...
It shows UNKNOWN...
'Yeh koan ho sakte hai...' Riddhima thought and put back the mobile on her ear but didn't hear anything voice and soon it was disconnected...
Riddhima was thinking who that might be, giving her blank calls... She was so lost that again when her mobile rings, she answer it 'Koan...'
'Madam...
Aap kiske call ke liye inthizaar kar rahe ho...' Armaan ask from the other end...
Riddhima bit her tongue and look at the caller name it was showing Armaan's name.. She put the mobile back near her ear and closed her eyes not knowing wht to say...
If she tell about the unknown call, Armaan surely would get worried so she thought not to tell him thinking how much happy he was today...
'Woh Di mujhe pareshan kar rahi hai... Issiliyeh...' Riddhima make an excuse... It was the first time she lie to him and she was feeling really bad...
Riddhima felt she didn't at least tell him about the unknown call, maybe the caller dial mistakely...
'Accha... Toh ab kiya kar rahi ho...' Armaan ask...
'Kuch bhi toh nehi... Main sone ki tayyari kar rahi ti...' Riddhima said sitting on the bed covering her legs with the comforter...
'Really.. Mujhse baat karte bagair...' Armaan complain...
Riddhima smile seeing how Armaan had turn to a lover boy... She smile imagine his face at the moment, he must be making those cute puppy faces...
'Kiya huva.. Chup kyun hogayi...
Main dekh rahi hoon jabse tum mujse sagai karne ke liyeh tayyar huva hai, tab se tu koi koi si lag rahi ho...' Armaan ask with seriousness in his voice...
'Arey nehi Armaan...Aisa kuch nehi hai...' Riddhima said as she put her legs towards her and holding to closed to her chest...
A blush came in to her face as she remember how much everyone was happy to hear that she was ready to get engage...
How her parents and his parents were talking about their engagement and arrangement which is to be done...
'Phirse kho gayi...
Riddhima..' Armaan call her when she didn't say anything more...
'Hah... Nehi woh...
Accha yeh batao... Surprise kaisa laga...' Riddhima asked...
'Waise toh bohot accha hai, Lekin jab main baaki sabkoh ullu banaya, tab aur maza aaya...'Armaan said happily...
Riddhima smile to hear how childish he could be...
'Haan...I know...
But tumhe pata kaise chala hum log tumhari saat mazak kar rahi ti...' Riddhima asked...
'Madam...
Aapko abhi humhare baare main zyada pata nehi hai...
Waise mere dad koh dekha tumne.. .Kitna over reacting kar raha ta...' Armaan said and started to laugh...
'Woh toh mere papa bhi kar raha ta..' Riddhima said joining Armaan...
'Lekin sach main... Main aaj bohot khush hoon...
Tum khush hona Riddhima...' Armaan asked...
Riddhima smile hearing how concern Armaan is with her feeling...
'Haan Armaan...
Maine hi kahata na tumhe... Jab main ready hogi, tab main khud kahungi...' Riddhima said...
'Haan woh toh tumne kaha...
Lekin achanak se tumne haan kyun kaha Riddhima... Kahin mujhe koigalati toh nehi huva na...'Armaan ask...
'Armaan...
Tum aisa kyun sochte ho tumne koi galati ki mere saat...
mujhe tumpe... tumhare pyar pe pura barosa hai... Yakeen hai tum mujhe kabhi dokha nehi dhonge... Aur mujhe kabhi akele chodenge... Haina...' Riddhima said...
Armaan didn't reply for a minute... Riddhima got scared... 'Kahin Armaan bhi...'
'Riddhima...
Main soch bhi nehi sakta hoon mere zindagi tumhari bina...
Main kabhi tujhe akela nehi chodungi...
Har dukh main... Har sukh main...
Har pal tumhara saat dunga... I love u Riddhima...
I love u a lot...' Armaan said...
A smile was on Riddhima face while tears twinkling on her beautiful big eyes...
She was so happy, to have Armaan as her life partner...
'Ek baat poochun Riddhima...' It was Armaan who broke the silent as Riddhima couldn't say a word when Armaan again confess how much he loves her...
'Permission ki kiya jarurat hai Armaan...
Tumhe pura hak hai...' Riddhima said...
Armaan smile hearing it... Hearing how much she trust and believe him...
'Woh sagai ke liye toh haan kardi...
Toh shopping toh banta hai... Lekin main chaahta hoon tum apni lehenga khud design karo... Woh bhi mere pasand se... Karpaenge..' Armaan ask...
Riddhima smile hearing him... Even she was thinking the same...
It was her dream to design her own lehenga for her engagement and wedding...
'Haan... Main bhi wohi soch rahi ti...
Lekin janaab... Abhi tak date fixed nehi huva hai...' Riddhima said laying down on bed looking up at the ceiling...
'I know Riddhima...
Lekin jitni jaldi tumne haan kaha, aise toh tum shaadi ke liye bhi tayyar hojae toh mere life toh set hojaenge...' Armaan said...
Riddhima smile, she was getting to see a new side of Armaan...
'Sapna dekh rahe ho tum ab Armaan...
Maine bas Sagai ke liye haan kaha... Abhi bohot time hai Shaadi ke liye...' Riddhima said...
'Haan haan tik haina...
Lekin maine tumhare liyeh already lehenga pasand karli jo tum humhare shaadi main pehenenge...' Armaan said...
'Accha...' Riddhima asked...
'Haan.. Koi shak...
Yaad hai jo special lehenga tum aaj tik kar rahi ti... Woh design mujhe bohot pasand hai...'Armaan said...
'Mr.Mallik...
Aur bhi bohot khubsurat design hai mere paas...' Riddhima said...
'Lekin Ms.Gupta mujhe wohi design pasand hai... Sabse zyada... Aur tum par toh... Masha Allah... Bohot...' Armaan started to admire, Riddhima laugh hearing him...
Armaan felt happy to see hear melodious sweet laugh... 'Waise Ms. Gupta... Main soch raha ta ki kyun na tum humhare fashion show ki showstopper banne...' Armaan said as he was thinking about the moment they spend in his cabin and how he had been waiting to ask her this...
'What... Armaan main...' Riddhima stop laughing hearing him...
'Haan.. Kyun nehi...
That lehenga will suits u and I wanna see u in that...' Armaan said dreamly imagine Riddhima on that lehenga...
'Dream on Armaan...
Main aur Fashion main... R u out of ur Mind...' Riddhima said...
'Kyun nehi... So end main I could be on stage with u and I wouldn't need to think twice before holding u closed to me...' Armaan said...
'Matlab jo bhi Showstopper banengi tum usse aise hold karenge...' Riddhim ask shockly with her mouth open as a big 'O'...
Armaan was enjoying this to the core...
The part to be a part in show, he was serious about it... But about holding the showstopper, he was taking back the revenge for trying to make fool of him with his parents and her parents...
They continue with their nokjok and soon bid goodnight and slept dreaming about each other and wishing to meet in dreams...
~ NEXT DAY ~
Riddhima was waiting for Armaan so they could see the models who was already in the meeting room... He was already 10mins late and no one knows where he had went...
'Ma'am...

Riddhima try calling him but his mobile was swtich off...
'Ho kiya gaya hai Armaan koh... Aise achanak kaha chala gaya...
Bataya bhi nehi kissi koh... Aur main akele un models koh handles kaise karungi...' Riddhima was thinking but she knows she had to do something... With or without Armaan, she couldn't let the models waits more...
Riddhima came to the meeting room to see models reading their contract... She came and stand in front of them as they look at her with question in their eyes...
'Yeh hai Ms.Riddhima Gupta...

From next day, models will be practicing for the show... and today they need final who and who would wear which costume...
'Mr.Mehra, can u take the boys to their rest room...

Riddhima first went to make sure boys were fitting the costume and she didn't had to spend much time as they choose what is fit for them...
Riddhima got the list with which costume the respective models males would be wearing... She was happy, the models were happy with the design and with her work...

'Yeah Ms.Gupta...' Mrs.Khanna start but Riddhima cut her... 'Kitni baar kaha aapse aap mujhse badi hai... please Riddhima bhulao mujhe...' Riddhima said...
Other models smile seeing how nice and sweet Riddhima treat with everyone...
'Lekin...' Mrs.Khanna try to reason but Riddhima cut her off... 'Lekin vekin kuch nehi... Ab batao who is absent from here...' Riddhima ask askin Mrs.Khanna to hand over her the list..
Riddhima was checking the names and she put her finger on the last name of the list where it was put a cross... 'Ms.Malothra...' Riddhima said softly...
'Yes... That's me...
