Riddhima was laying on the bed thinking about how Armaan make her night special... It was the best trip she had every had... She just couldn't stop thinking and smiling herself...
By the time she came back it was 12am... Luckily both was sleeping but Sapna open the door as Riddhima keep knocking till one of them open...
As Sapna was really sleepy too, she didn't dare to ask Riddhima how was dinner with Armaan and wht took them so long as they had come back long before and was done with packing too...
Before hitting the bed, Riddhima complete her packing and changed to her comfortable night dress...
Now Riddhima was laying on bed thinking about the night and her Armaan... Smiling to her self, she felt that sleep were away from her eyes tonight...
She was holding the necklace Armaan gave her, caring it lovingly as it was a precious gift... She drop a kiss on it... Soon her mind travel somewhere else...
Riddhima was busy thinking about the kiss and close moments they share, she got a msg... Riddhima look to see it was from none other then her Armaan...
'Neend nehi aa rahi... ???
Mere baare main soch rahi ho..??? -Love Armaan-
Blush crap on Riddhima cheeks and Riddhima thought not to reply... Then thought, she is not sleepy toh why to let him sleep even..
Riddhima write reply for him and send it waiting for Armaan reply...
~ IN ARMAAN ROOM ~
To his bad luck Rahul was awake when he came back... He started to ask about the dinner and all, Armaan told him everything went well and he don't need to give him details that happen...
'Tik hai saale.. Tu aaj mujhe chup kara sakte ho...
Lekin kal woh ladkiyon tujhe chodenge nehi bata deti hoon' Rahul said and went to sleep...
Armaan smile knowing Rahul was saying right and thought why to think about it know... What he had to answer the girls, then he would... Becox they haven't done anything secretly...
Changing to comfortable night dress Armaan try to sleep but sleeps were away from his eyes..
He keeps remembering every moment he spend with his Riddhima a while ago... As she was looking like a angel which come from heaven just for him, he couldn't express how pretty she was looking in that saari...
The first time he laid his eye on that saari that day while they were shopping, Armaan thought it would be the best gift he could give to Riddhima for doing so much hard work for the fashion show to make it a bigg and huge success...
Just becox of her, they had reach to the high today and Armaan was really really proud to have her in his company and speically in his heart...
'oh god... Yeh tumne kiya kardiya Riddhima...
Ab main kaise soun... Mujhe har waqt tumhari paas rehne ka mann karta hai...
Tumhe dekhne ka... Tumhe apni baahon main lene ka..' Armaan keep thinking... He took the mobile and thought of msging to check if she slept or not...
He was thinking to send or not and at last he send... He wait for five minutes and when she didn't reply, he thought she miight have slept... He knows she must be tired becox of the busy day they had...
'Tum kaise so sakti ho itni jaldi Riddhima..' Armaan think and closed his eyes just to feel his phone vibrate...
Armaan took the phone and saw Riddhima msg... He smile and open the msg which Riddhima gave to Armaan msg...
'Nehi toh.. Main kyun tumhare baare main sochungi.
Mujhe apni neend bohot pyaari hai...' -Love Riddhima-
Armaan smile reading her reply and send another msg...
'Accha... toh yeh koan mujhe msg kar raha hai..
Tumhari bhoot...' -Armaan-
Armaan waits for Riddhima reply which didn't take much time...
'Main bhoot nehi hoon...
Main bas sone wali hoon... Aur bhoot bhi hai toh kiya huva.. Mujhse baat nhi karni kiya...' -Riddhima-
'Toh seedhe seedhe bolo na tumhe bhi mujhse baat karni hai...' -Armaan-
-Beep-
Armaan recived another msg from Riddhima...
'Nehi... Main bohot tak gayi hoon Issiliye main so rahi hoon...
Mujhe disturb mat karna...
Goodnight...' -Riddhima-
Armaan smile reading this msg...
'Waise mujhe toh baat karna ta..
Actually kuch batana chahta ta.. But tumhe neend aa rahi hai toh koi baat nhi..
Goodnight...' -Armaan-
Armaan knowing this time also Riddhima would reply soon..
'Kiya baat karna hai iswaqt...
Time dekha... Sharam nehi aati kissi ki beti koh is waqt msg karte...

Armaan smile seeing how filmy she could be...
'Nehi nehi Princess...
Mera ma aur behen bhi hai... Aur main jis ladki koh msg kar raha hoon woh bhi jaldi mere hone wale hai...
Toh us main buri baat kiya hai mujhe samjhao na pleasee...' -Armaan-
'Hmm phir toh kuch buri baat nehi hai...
Phir batadoh kiya batana hai...' -Riddhima-
'Yehi ki tum aaj raat bohot khubsurat lag rahi ti...' -Armaan-
'Bohot logo ne yeh mujhe bataya...' -Riddhima-
'Aur bohot hot bhi...' -Armaan-
'Kissine yeh bhi batayi mujhe...' -Riddhima-
'Wht??? Kisne?? kab ..?? kaha??? kyunnn???' -Armaan-
'hehehe... Chill Armaan koi ajnabee ne nehi...
Tumhare behen aur meri behen ne... Aur Sapna aur Muski ne bhi kaha *Wink!!**' -Riddhima-
'Oh accha...
Phir toh tik hai.. Lekin ladke ne aise bola toh main use chodunga nehi...' -Armaan-
'Kyun... Baaki ladko kon mujhe tarif karna mana hai...' -Riddhima-
'Tarif karna toh kiya, tujhe dekhna bhi mana hai.. Kyunki sirf main tujhe aise nazar se dekh sakta hoon Kissi aur koh hakk nehi hai...' -Armaan...
'Paagal...' -Riddhima-
'Woh toh madam aapki pyar main hoon...' -Armaan-
'Stop copying cheezi lines Armaan...
Khud ki koi dialogue toh bolte...' -Riddhima-
-Maine bola toh galat... Jab tu copy line maar rahi ti tab tik ta...' -Armaan-
'Maine kab copy ki...' -Riddhima...
Like this these both keep bickering still late and as they had to wake up early, they slept hoping to meet in each other dreams...
~ BACK IN HOME TOWN ~
Shashank and Padma were standing outside the airport to received Malliks and Riddhima with the gang... Also they invite everyone to dinner as they had to annouce something important...
Everyone leave to their respective house while Riddhima went with Shashank and Padma.. Before that they drop Muskaan and Sapna at their house...
Armaan was happy he got the chance to seat with Riddhima before coming back... Knowing their daily routine will be started from the very next day, still Armaan felt he wasn't getting enough time with Riddhima...
~ GUPTA MANSION ~
As they enter the house, Riddhima through her purse somewhere in the hall on couch before hitting the couch carelessly leaving the bags she bought...
Padma went to bring water to Riddhima and Shashank who was in a call busy discussing something...
'Everything is set Padma... Just be ready by 8 tonight...' Shashank said...
'Ji Shashank..' Padma says...
Riddhima who didn't had a clue what was happening, sit straight asking Padma from eyes what was going on...
'Beti, tum fresh hoke araam karlo.. Aur haan, jhaake phone karke Armaan se der se baat mat karne beitna... Kyunki tumhe mujhse dinner ke liye help karna hai okk...' Padma says as Shashank left to fresh up as he also went airport to received them after just finishing his duty in hospital...
'Kiyun... Main kyun...

'Mom...' Riddhima try to make her agree but Padma didn't...
'No buts... Maine kaha na u will... bas u r gonna cook...' Padma says and leave...
Riddhima who was surprise as Padma never force her to do anything around the house...
'Yeh mamma koh kiya hogaya hai... Papa se baat karna padega...' Riddhima thought and seeing Padma going to kitchen she run towards Shashank room who was again on phone...
Riddhima wait till Shashank finish the call and seeing his dad end the call,'Papa, mujhe aapse kuch baat karni hai..' Riddhima says...
Shashank who didn't know Riddhima was there was shocked and he turn as if he was catch red handed doing a crime...
'Princess... aapne toh mujhe dara hi diya...
Haan poocho kiya poochna hai...' Shashank ask facing her folding his arms on chest...
'Woh mamma koh kiya hogaya hai...

'Kiya haas hone wala hai mujhe bhi batao.. Phir main accha accha khana banake khilaungi sabko..'Riddhima says folding her hands and sitting on the bed...

'Papa...' Riddhima try to make puppy face and make him tell her what was they hiding...
'Sorry beti... Aaj woh puppy face kaam karne wale nehi hai..
So better u go and rest now before u go and help ur mamma...' Shashank said and taking towel from bed where Padma left it for him, he went to take shower...
Knowing neither her dad and mom would tell her anything, she went to her room and freshen up...
Then hit bed as she was feeling sleepy and all the thanks goes to Armaan who was chatting with her whole night through msgs...
Thinking about the previous night, Riddhima slept hoping to meet Armaan in her dream and reality too...
~ 8PM ~
As Padma requested, Riddhima make dinner for everyone... As she got the chance to make dinner for Armaan and his family for the first time, Riddhima call Armaan asking wht others would like as she already knows Armaan favorite but not others...
Armaan was happy to know Riddhima was making dinner, and he tell her everything others like to have for dinner and also ask to add more to his list...
Riddhima smile feeling how excited Armaan was sounding as it was the first time she would be making dinner for him and others too...
Riddhima push Padma out from the kitchen saying as she was to make dinner for everyone, she didn't want Padma to help her any way...
So asking her to see other arrangement before Armaan and his family come, Riddhima push her out strickly asking not to put her feet on the kitchen before she comes out...
Knowing Riddhima was good in cooking, Padma left smiling to her self the one who was not ready to cook 3 hrs before suddenly agree... Padma came to room and Shashank who saw Padma smiling thinking about something ask wht is the reason behind that smile...
'Shashank, woh Riddhima..
Pata nehi use achanak se kiya huva hai... Pehle toh mujhe bola main sab kuch sambhalo, Ab mujhe kitchen se bahar kardi yeh kehke woh sab kuch akele karenge...' Padma says...
Shashank smiling knowing the reason behind Riddhima's change of behavior...
'Aab muskura kyu rahe ho...' Padma ask seeing Shashank smiling...
'Woh aayi ti mere paas... Yeh jaanne ke liyeh kiya baat hai woh jo specially use khana banvane ke liyeh tum uske peeche padi ho...' Shashank says...
'Aur aapne use bata diya... Shashank, Aap bhi na...
I m sure usne woh puppy innocent face banaya aapke saamne aur aap toh apne princess se itna pyar karte hai ki hide bhi nehi kar sakte...
Lekin mujhe use surprise dena ta na Shashank...Aapne batadiya use...' Padma says complaining as she thought Shashank ruin her surprise...
'Padma, padma, padma...' Shashank says coming closed to her and holding her shoulder trying to calm her down... Knows Shashank knows why Riddhima act like that.. She was just a perfect copy of his dearest wife...
Padma look at Shashank with fake anger and upset expression...
'Maine Riddhima koh reason nehi bataya...
Tumhe kiya lagta hai main nehi chaahte woh best smile dekhne jab hum use woh baat bataye... Nehi Padma...
Humne already Riddhima koh aise situation main dekha woh bohot kam muskuraate hai dil se... Lekin yeh baat sunne mujhe pata woh kitni khush hoga...' Shashank says...
Padma look Shashank knowing he was right...
'Haan Shashank...

'Haan Padma..
Lekin mujhe abhi tak yakeen nehi ho raha hai humhare princess itni badi hogayi ab hum uski shaadi ki baat kar rahi hai...' Shashank says...
'Mujhe pata hai Shashank, aap kabhi Riddhima koh apne aankhon ke saamne se dur nehi jaane de sakte hai...

Aur hum khush hona chahiyeh Ananya aur Billy humhare acche dost hai, aur Riddhima toh kabhi bhi humhe milne aa sakte hai... Aur hum bhi use milne ja sakte hai...' Padma says...
Padma and Shashank keep talking like this about Riddhima's future and they were disturb by doorbell... Knowing Riddhima was still busy in kitchen, Padma went to answer the door but before she could reach Riddhima run to the door...
It was Atul, Anjali, Muskaan and Sapna who came... Riddhima welcome hugging them and as she was done making dinner she run upstairs to get ready before the Malliks come...
Before she goes, she warn everyone not to go to kitchen and look over the dishes she make...
She had set the table and put dishes bowl so she could servve it when everyone comes to the dinner...

Atul phone rang and it was from Rahul... He says he wouldn't be able to come as he got a emergency in hospital...
