Months past after AR engagement and media were running after Armaan and Riddhima for the few days...
Armaan didn't let Riddhima go anywhere without him as he knows media would reach any place if they spot Riddhima alone...
Also after that day, Siddhant didn't dare to call back Riddhima and everyone was now back to their daily routine, busy with their respective work...
Riddhima were busy making new design and completing the order they had got after the fashion show...
Armaan was busy making the deals withe new clients and old one as they need to deliver it to the date they agreed...
Riddhima was in the design room counting some cloths which they had to send to their dealers in three days and they had to make it ready today itself as they would be sending it tomorrow...
As it was late and everyone else left leaving her behind with two other staff... Riddhima was alone as other two went to bring more box as they were less off...
'Uff... Phirse mujhe count karna padega...
Yeh Mamma bhi pata nehi kyun baar baar call kar raha hai...' Riddhima said again she saw her mother calling as mobile was kept near the table...
'Kiya hai Mamma...
Kitni baar kaha main late hojaungi... Aapko bataya ta na mujhe aaj yeh sab kapde count karke box pe daalna hai...
Sab kuch kal bhejna hai Mamma... Aap kyun baar baar call kar rahi ho...' Riddhima blasted as she answer...
'Yeh kaise baat kar rahi ho Riddhima...
Mujhe aapki chinta hai issiliyeh call kar rahi hoon... Aapko pata haina main bewajah call nehi karti..' Padma says as she felt hurt by Riddhima tone...
Riddhima closed her eyes and she knew why Padma was so worried and tense for her...
Anjali had told Padma everything about Siddhant and from that day, her mother and father had been more protective for her like Armaan...
Armaan had gone out for a meeting and she was alone with two staff and this was making Padma restless as she was taking so much time to come back home...
Also she wants to see if she was safe and it was Armaan request to keep checking on her so Padma had been calling from every 30mins...
'Sorry Mamma...
I has just too much of work and aap aise call karenge toh kaise kaam jaldi hopaenge...
I know its already 10 at night mamma...
Jitna jaldi kaam khatam hojae, main aapko waapas call karungi... Promise mamma I will take care...' Riddhima says feeling guilty for shouting like that to her mother...
'It's ok Princess... I was just worried... Aur Armaan bhi pareshan hai, woh kaam ke liyeh bahar jaana padana...' Padma said softly...
It hit now... So the main reason for her mother calling her every 30mins was Armaan...
'Ufff... Main kiya karun Mr.Armaan Mallik ki... Use toh baad main dekhlungi... Abhi I need to get back to work and finished it soon so then I can reach home..' Riddhima thought...
and from the other end of the call, Padma call her name for three times when she didn't answer her...
'hah... Mamma...
Armaan toh pehle se hi paagal hai.. Aur aap uske kehne pe mujhe itna call kar rahi ho...
Chill mamma.. I m a big girl now...' Riddhima says as she sit back knowing she can't continue before the other two come with the boxes because every box there were already full...
'But mere liyehh toh aap abhi bhi woh choti si gudiya ho Riddhima...' Padma says...
'Aur papa aur di ki Princess...' Riddhima said smiling widely...
'Haan... Kyunki hum sab apne yeh choti si bitiya se bohot zyada pyar karte hai...' Padma says...
'Awww... I love too Mamma...
Lekin abhi mujhe yeh call rakhna hoga, nehi toh main jaldi yeh sab kaam karke ghar kaise pochungi...' Riddhima says as she felt over the world hearing how much her parent and sister love...
Cutting the call and smiling to her self seeing how much crazy sometimes her parents can be, she go back to counting the rest of the cloths which should pack in the box...
'Yeh dono kaha gayab hogayi... Pata nhi itna time kyun laga raha hai yeh dono... uff...' Riddhima said and she was back counting when suddenly the light went off...
'Ab is light koh kiya hogaya...' Riddhima said...
Riddhima was going to go out and check but before that someone came inside and closed the door behind locking it...
'Koan hai...' Riddhima said as she only make the outline of the person and she knew it was a guy...
The guy was making his way to Riddhima and Riddhima got little taken back with this act of the guy...
'Koan ho tum...' Riddhima says and fear took over her... 'Aur... Aur andar kaise aaya...' She asked as she keeps moving back...
Whoever it was, didn't say anything and just keep moving...
'Aage mad bado... Main chillaungi...' Riddhima said as she pointed her finger to him... 'Main kahana aage mat bado...' She said little loud as she was keeping back and her back hit the wall behind her...
Knowing she didn't have any other choice and this person was just moving closed to her she shouted... 'HELP!!!'
Before Riddhima could shouted more, that person put his hand on her mouth covering it so she can't shout... Riddhima closed her eyes when the fear took place...
'Kitna darte ho...' he said and when his voice hit Riddhima ears, she open her eyes and he lit the lighter on...
Riddhima saw Armaan standing in front of her with a naughty smile playing his lips... Naughty spark were shinning in his blue oceans eyes and Riddhima understood it was all done by her loving fiance...
Riddhima push his hand away from her mouth as she let the breath out which she hold the moment he put his hand over her mouth...
'Armaan tum...
Maarne ka iraada hai kiya... Aise koi karta hai...' Riddhima said breathing relieve...
'Maarenge humhare dhushman... Mujhe pata hai tumhe darkness se dar lagta hai...
Aur haan main light koh kuch nehi kiya... Lekin is darkness ki faida jarur utaya... Jab main andar aa raha ta maine dekha Mr.Mathew aur Mrs.Mehra store room main ta...
Poochne pe pata chala tum yaha ho aur tumne un dono koh waha bheja boxes lene... Phir light gaya toh main yaha aagaya mere pyaari fiance ki paas kyunki jaati hoon tumhe adhere se dar lagta hai...' He said winking at her...
'Badmaash...
Ab hato, mujhe kaam hai...' Riddhima says trying to move away from his hold but Armaan just move closed to her...
'Mujhe apne Riddhima koh dekhne toh doh...
Kitni time hogaya mujhe tumhe bina dekh ke...' Armaan says as he off the lighter and moving closed to Riddhima...
'Armaan...' Riddhima call his name as she felt shy...
'Oye hoyye...
Miss kiya mujhe...' Armaan asked caring her face as she was looking down...
Riddhima look at him and saw her blue eyes... She came see the love and care in his eyes in the dark even...
'Bilkul nehi...' Riddhima says as she knows Armaan was getting all romantic and she didn't want to divert her mind as she had to finished the work and reach home fast...
'Jhut..' Armaan says as he saw her breaking the eye contact and answering him...
'Tumhe kaise pata...' Riddhima as slowly as her heart wasn't obeying her and letting his closeness affecting her...
'Kyunki jab tum aise nazre churake jawab dete ho mujhe pata hai tumhe dar lagta hai kahin main tumhari jhut koh pakadna le...
Lekin aise hi nazre churate ho toh mujhe pata chaljaata hai tum jhut bolne ke liyeh nazre churate ho...' Armaan says as he care near her lips with his thumb...
Riddhima smile hearing how Armaan knows her so well in this few months of relation...
'Sahi kaha na maine...' Armaan asked as Riddhima look at him again looking at him eyes...
'Hmmm...' Riddhima answer as she was lost in his eyes and smile form in Armaan lips showing the dimple in his cheek...
Seeing Armaan dimple, Riddhima couldn't help but pull her hand upto his cheek caring the dimple... Armaan closed his eyes when Riddhima care his cheek... He was enjoying her touch and Riddhima was lost in him now...
Armaan move closed so their body was hitting each other and he puts his hand on her waist pulling her closed...
Riddhima look at Armaan face seeing his eyes closed and she admire his every feature closely...
His forehead with some hairs falling it, his eyes which was closed enjoy as she cares his cheek, his dimple... At last her eyes fell on his manly lips...
Riddhima couldn't stop her desire and she lean closed to him and place her lips on his...
First Armaan was shocked when he suddenly felt her lips on his... He open his eyes to see Riddhima kissing him with her eyes closed...
Armaan was shocked and he didn't respond to her which Riddhima got irritate and bit his lips softly... Armaan smile through the kiss and respond her and felt the frown which was on her face wipes away when he respond to her...
Both were lost in each other kissing and suddenly the light came...
It was Riddhima who first came to sense and feeling her surrounding she broke the kiss...
Armaan open his eyes when he felt Riddhima breaking the kiss and look at her face which was red due to the moment they just shared...
Armaan asked her through eyes what happen and Riddhima just push him little so she could move out from his hold...
Understanding why she did it, Armaan smile and went to unlocked the door knowing others would be coming in few minutes...
'Kab tak kaam khatam hoga...' Armaan asked as he came back to her where she was standing with a sheet...
'Bas yeh jo kapde pata hai waha, use box main daal dekhe seal kare, phir sab kaam khatam...'Riddhima says not looking at her...
'Phirse nazare chura rahi ho...' Armaan said sitting on the table as she was standing near the table...
'Armaan please mujhe kaam karne doh...' Riddhima says knowing he was just wanting to tease her about wht happen between them few minutes ago...
It was the first time Riddhima kiss him before he start as he always start before they share those kisses...
Mr.Mathew and Mrs.Mehra came and as the four were there now, they finished the work fast...
'Mr.Mathew, kal aap yeh boxes airport poacha dena...
Usse pehle aap flight scheduel check karlena... Aur haan mujhe koi excuse nehi chahiyeh, yeh time par pochna chahiyeh... Yeh aapki responsible hai yeh deal waha time par poache, check karte rahiyeh... Ok...' Armaan says...
'Yes Sir, aap bilkul chinta mat karo...
Sab time par hojaenge...' Mr.Mathew said...
'Ok, now u may go...'Armaan said and both Mr.Mathew and Mrs.Mehra left...
'Aur hum bhi chale Mrs. Soon to be Mallik...' Armaan said facing Riddhima who was standing near the table collecting her staff...
'Haan chalo...' Riddhima says...
Armaan was driving and Riddhima was just sitting next to him in passenger seat looking outside...
Armaan stop the car near a restaurent, Riddhima was surprise to see why he stop there...
'Aise mat dekho, mujhe pata hai madam ne abhi tak dinner nehi kiya...
Aur yeh bhi jaanti hoon ghar jaakhe karne bhi nehi wali, so main tumhare saat dinner karne ke liye dealers ki saat dinner nehi ki aur waapas aagaya...' Armaan said answering her every unspoken questions...
Riddhima smile hearing him and without saying anything she came out from the car...
Soon both were having dinner talking about their day and after dinner, Riddhima wants to have something sweet...
'No ice cream Riddhima...' Armaan says as they came back to the car after dinner...
'But why Armaan... Main tohdi na bacchi hoon...'Riddhima says...
'Toh sirf bacchi koh cold nehi hote raat koh ice cream khaane se Riddhima...
Waise bhi its late and aajkal tandi reason shuru hone wala hai... Toh no ice cream...' Armaan says sitting on driver seat...
Riddhima didn't sit and stand outside folding her hands on chest... Armaan shake his head to see the childish Riddhima again... It was a daily routine from few days after dinner always Riddhima wanna have something sweet...
Armaan came out from the car and came infront of her to see the cute put on her lips and the expression just make him smile...
'Riddhima...' Armaan call her name but she beheave as she didn't hear...
'No Armaan... Mujhe sweet khana hai...' Riddhima says not looking at him showing fake anger...
'Haan toh maine sweets khaane se mana nehi kiya na...
Tum jilebi khao, laddo khao, kuch aur sweet khao... but not ice cream...' Armaan says...
'Mujhe nehi pasand jilebi aur laddo...' Riddhima says...
'Lekin Chocolate toh pasand haina...' Armaan says and Riddhima look at him...
'Toh.. Iswaqt kaha se chocolate milenge... Its already 12 Armaan...' Riddhima said making a cry face, and resting her back on the car...
'Yeh toh maine socha nehi...' Armaan said touching his finger on his cheek as he fold other hand on his chest...
Riddhima knows Armaan wouldn't allow her to have ice cream so making a note she wouldn't talk to him still he didn't let her have, she sit in the car...
Seeing Riddhima's behavior, Armaan smile and he sit on driver seat zooming off towards Gupta mansion...
Riddhima didn't talk and neither Armaan...
'Riddhima, mere mobile back seat main hai, zara dekho toh...' Armaan said and Riddhima didn't make she hears what he said...
'Riddhima...' When Armaan call her she look and him glaring as she would eat him any moment...
Armaan gave her a sweet smile and as she knows he was driving he couldn't take the phone she turn around to see her favorite ferrero rocher chocolate box kept there on the seat...
Happily she took it and she understand why he ask to see and he knows she wouldn't have look if he said chocolate is there as she wants to eat only ice cream...
'Mere liyeh...' Riddhima asked as she was already open the box by then...
'Nehi... Mere fiance si ke liyeh...' Armaan said and when Riddhima look at him, he winks and Riddhima just give a look 'So whts the different' look...
Armaan keep driving while Riddhima was eating one by one finishing everything by they reach home...
Armaan look at her when she clean her hands taking tissue from the box he kept on the car...
'happy...' Armaan asked parking outside Riddhima house...
'Bohottt...' Riddhima said giving her best smile...
Both came out and Armaan was now standing infront of her before she go inside wishing him goodnight...
'Main subah nehi aa sakte tumhe lene kyunki mere ke meeting hai, tum Dad ya kissi aur ki saat office chali jaana okkk...' Armaan says...
'Ok, aur tum chinta mat karo... Main jo deal send karna chahiyeh uski details dekhungi and tumhe inform karungi ok...' Riddhima says...
'Cool..' Armaan says as he was holding Riddhima hands in his and kissing it...
'Goodnight...' Riddhima said...
'Ek min...' Armaan said as Riddhima try to move out from him hold...
'Ab kiya huva Armaan...' She ask knowing he wants his goodnight kiss...
'Woh tumhari lips ki paas chocolate hai...' Armaan said Riddhima rise her hand to wipe but Armaan stop her...
Leaning closed, Armaan sucks the chocolate... 'Yummy...' He said...
Riddhima hit him playfully on his chest and Armaan hold her hands...
'Kitni baar kaha aise nehi marte...' Armaan says..
'Aur kitni baar maine kaha aise cheezi line mujhpar use mat karo...' Riddhima says...
'Cheezi line aur main... Never...
Sach main bohottt yummy ta...' Armaan says and lean to steal her lips but Riddhima put her hands in between...
'Office main toh sharma nehi rahi, ab kyun sharma rahi ho...' Armaan asked and Riddhima closed her eyes hearing this...
'Bolti band...' Armaan ask as he hold her in his arms tightly...
'Woh...' Riddhima didn't know wht to say...
'But I love that Riddhima who didn't try to hide her desire...
Atleast isse toh pata chale how much u love and need me...' Armaan said kissing her cheeks...
'And I miss u and need u around always Armaan...' Riddhima says looking at his eyes...
'Toh Mujhse Shaadi karlo Riddhima...' Armaan said...
