'Toh Mujhse Shaadi karlo Riddhima...' Armaan said...
Riddhima was shocked to hear this... Was he really proposing her, like this, this time of the night...???

Riddhima didn't know wht to say...
After they had been engage from few weeks, they had got so closed to each other, the time they spend which each other seems so less...
It doesn't matter if they spend whole day and night with each other, it feels very less to them...
Its true they see each other but spending time alone was little less as the work pressure had increased for both, Specially Riddhima who needs to do new designing...
'Sorry...' Armaan says as Riddhima didn't answer him...
He knows he shouldn't have asked it as Riddhima, herself before tell him when she is ready, she will come and tell him by herself...

Riddhima look at Armaan with question in her eyes not knowing why Armaan was saying'Sorry...'
Armaan holds Riddhima hands which was on his chest... Holding it softly, and squeezing it Armaan look at Riddhima eyes...
'Riddhima...
Main jaanti hoon tum abhi shaadi ke liyeh ready nehi hoon...
Lekin is kuch month main, hum dono bohot closed aa chuka hoon ek dujhre ki... Mujhe bohot mushkil ho raha hai tumse dur rehna...
Jitna tumhe mere saat rehna hai, time spend karna hai, main bhi wohi chaahta hoon...
Hum kaam ki waqt ek dusre koh dekh pata hoon, mil pata hoon... But kaam ki alawa humhare ek aur zindagi hai...
Kitna tum mujhe aur mere saat ka miss karti ho, utna main bhi karta hoon Riddhima...
Sorry issiliyeh main yeh jaante huve bhi tumse isbaat kar izhaar kiya mujhse shaadi karo... Main jaanta hoon tum abhi tayyar nehi hai...
Lekin mujhe wait karna chahiyeh, tum khud aaye mujhse nehi kehte, tab tak mujhe inthizaar karna chahiyeh ta..' Armaan said...

Hearing Armaan every single words, tears form in her eyes... Today, she came to know how much Armaan respect her, there is no doubt how much he loves her...
But today, he proves saying those simples words and make her feel she was the luckiest girl in the whole world, or it wouldn't be wrong to say whole universe...
Riddhima move her lips upto forehead and press her lips there for a while...
Armaan closed his eyes when he felt her lips on his forehead... Riddhima move looking at him as Riddhima saw the question on his eyes Riddhima smile...
'Yeh issiliye mujhe itna respect karne ke liyeh aur itna barosa karne ke liyeh...
I m really happy maine tumhe haan kaha Armaan... Meri woh decision galat nehi ta..
Jo kuch bhi mere saat pehle huva, us baat ki wajahse main hamesha darti ti... Kyunki main nehi chahte phir koi aakhe mere life ki saat phirse khele...
Maine tumhe pehle bhi kaha ta Armaan, jab tum mere saat hoti toh jo main feel karti hoon, woh kabhi kissi ki saat hokhe maine feel nehi ki...
Main bohot khush hoon god ne mere liyeh tumhe bheja... Aur main bohot khush naseeb hoon tum hazoroan ladke se mujhse pyar karte ho...'

Riddhima smile when Armaan kiss her hands and he hold her hands closed to his chest...
'Toh iska matlab tohda chance hai jaldi shaadi karne ki...' Armaan asked winking and he knows he needs to turn the serious atmosphere...
'Hmmm... Let me think Armaan...' Riddhima said as she make an expression as she was really thinking about the matter...
Armaan give a 'Really Now' expression to Riddhima who look at him and soon both brush out laughing..
'U r sacch a nautanki Riddhima..' Armaan says controlling his laugh...
'Woh toh main bachpanse hoon Mr.Mallik...' Riddhima says checking the time...
It was going to be 1am and she knows they both got work the next day...
'Armaan, its quite late...' Riddhima says to which Armaan check his watch...
Soon both went back to their respective house bidding goodnight and promising to meet in dreams...



Weeks and months past like this and it was karwachaut soon...
It was Riddhima's first karwachaut after she got engage to Armaan and it was her wish to keep the fast for Armaan...
Padma was taking about Anjali about keeping the fast and it was Anjali who asked Riddhima if she was keeping the fast or not...
'Ridzy, tum Armaan ke liyeh fast nehi kar rahi...' Anjali asked who was sitting in the hall in front of Padma who was massarging her hair...
'Di... abhi almost one week se zyada hai us din ke liyeh...
Aur Ma, aap bhi yeh kiya baat lekar beit gaye... Har saal aap yeh sab batate ho...' Riddhima said as she was disturb by Anjali and Padma who was talking about karwachaut and she just was too busy to listen all this over again...
'Toh kyun na bataun main...
Riddhima, jabse tu job join ki, tabse tu har baat pe chidak ne lagi ho...' Padma says...
'Really Mom... Dekho Ridzy kaise baat kar rahi ho..' Anjali said...
'Di please... Main yaha hoon toh sirf aap dono ki wajahse hoon...
Ma, aapko pata haina mujhe design bana na hai... Isse complete karna hai Ma...
Main room main hokar araam se kar leti, but...' Riddhima said closing the file she was holding...

Anjali and Padma sense something else were disturbing her, its not only that their talking wasn't the reason...
'Ridzy, u ok...' Anjali asked at last...
'Haan di... Main bilkul tik hoon...
Bas, tohdasa headache...' Riddhima said massarging her forehead...
'Itna kaam karenge toh headache bhi hogana...
Common Riddhima, aaj Sunday hai... Please ek Sunday apni ma aur Di ki saat bhita sakte ho na tum...
Jab se Anjali ki shaadi huvi hai, tabse tum friends har Sunday ek hojate ho...
Lekin jab mere saat binata hote toh dekho is Riddhima koh bhi, kaam lekhe beit gayi hai...'Padma said standing as she was done giving massarge to Anjali...
'Ma, Aisa kuch nehi...' Riddhima said but Padma left to wash her hands...

Anjali who look Padma going, move closed to Riddhima...
'Ridzy...' Anjali said keeping her hand on her shoulder to which Riddhima look at her...
'Kiya huva, itna disturb kyun ho...' Anjali asked...
Riddhima knows if anyone who knows in and out other then Muskaan, Sapna and Armaan is her sister...
Armaan was really busy to know wht was going inside Riddhima heart...
Muskaan and Sapna were also busy, as Muskaan has to gone to visit her parents and Sapna was busy in with her patients...

Riddhima sit looking if Padma was there to hear them or not...
She knows she had to tell someone about this feeling that she had been having from few days...
'Di, promise me that u wouldn't tell this to anyone...' Riddhima ask forwarding her hand to Anjali...
Anjali look at her Riddhima and then to her hand, again she look at Riddhima face to see the worried lines on her forehead...
'Aisa kiya baat hai jo tum chaahte ho main promise karun princess...' Anjali asked without promising...
'Pehle aap promise karo aap kissi koh nehi bataenge, I know aap aur sab mujhe lekar bohot pareshan rehte ho, fikar karte ho...
I know aap log mujhe bohot zyada pyar karte ho Di... Issiliye main nehi chaahte aap log aur mere liyeh pareshan rahe issiliyeh maine yeh baat chupayi...' Riddhima said...
'Kiya baat hai Ridzy...' Anjali said...
'Aap promise karo main sab kuch sach sach bataungi...' Riddhima said pointing to her hand...
Anjali knows she wouldn't say a word before she promise so she kept her hand on hers saying,'I promise u Ridzy...'



~ AFTER TWO DAYS ~


Armaan was back from a tour to Singapour for a week...
In this week, he miss his Riddhima alottt... So as soon as his flight landed, he went to office knowing this time, Riddhima will just finished her work and will be getting ready to leave...
Knowing he has one hr to reach office before Riddhima leave to her house...
He hasn't inform Riddhima or anyone that he was coming today other then Kaka, who answer Armaan call as before coming he call asking to send car with driver...
He also inform him not to tell anyone as he wants to give suprise to everyone...

Armaan reach office on time to see his staff one by one leaving the office after completing the working hour for the day...
Armaan knows Riddhima would be one of the last to come out so he thought to wait for her...
He send the driver so he could spend sometimes with his Riddhima...



~ RIDDHIMA POV ~

From the day Armaan left for the tour to Singapour, I felt that someone was following and watching me every time when I go out from house and office...
I know, it might be my insecure as I was used of Armaan always by my side and he suddenly had to go leaving like this...
I know I had to tell someone about this and I told Di about it... As expected di react the way I just thought, it took 20mins to calm her down...
She had been coming to drop and picking me from that day, if she can't she send me her car or ask Mom to send car for me as knowing Armaan also wasn't there to drop me home...

I used to work late in night, but when I get that feeling I stop being alone in office late night...
Whatever work I had to do, I take it with me to home... I know how much mother hate it but I wasn't having any other option...
Today, as usual I was leaving the early but alone... Di call saying she got an emergency and mother went to her friend place, she took the car...
Dad was out of station for some work and I thought its better to leave early then waiting for anyone...

Collecting my stuff, I move out bidding by everyone who I met on my way out...
I was unaware what was waiting for me outside...
As I move to get a texi aur auto, A van came in front blocking my way...
Two guy came out who have cover their face and pull me inside the van... I shouted but next second they shut my mouth and put cloth around my eyes...

~ RIDDHIMA POV END ~


Armaan was waiting for Riddhima to come out, he got a call from a client... As he was talking, his eyes were focus on the main door of the office...
When she saw Riddhima coming out, smile form in his face...
But he was beyond shocked to see wht happen the very next moment, A black van came from nowhere and stop infront of Riddhima...
Armaan came out from the car only to hear Riddhima shouting...



With Love,

Rihoohaws...
