Riddhima open her eyes when she hears his voice...She look around not understanding what he was doing there... She thought it was Bi and but to her surprise it was him standing in front of her eyes...Riddhima saw him standing with a cute innocent smile on his face... His hair was a mess, he wasn't wearing matching shirt and jeans... His beard was not shaven nicely and it was long... Riddhima felt her all work had gone waste seeing his condition...Tears form in her eyes and only one name escape from her mouth at the time. 'ARMAAN...' Armaan smile hearing his name from her mouth after whole three days...He was so worried for her that he has forgotten about himself and was taking care of Riddhima only... He didn't know how he was looking but only he was caring for his wife, his Riddhima... Seeing Armaan condition, Riddhima didn't know how to react...For a moment, Riddhima felt that everything has gone back to where she started three weeks back...Seeing Riddhima was in shocked, Armaan make her drink the water only Riddhima choked to it... Armaan rub her back to make her feel better... 'Yeh aap kaise haalat...' Riddhima couldn't complete her sentence... Understanding why Riddhima was shocked and what she is meaning by that, Armaan look at himself and then back to her... He gave a small smile not understanding what to say as he ruffle his hair with his hand... 'Armaan... Aap aise...' Riddhima again try to get an answer from him...But she thought he might not know what he has been doing so she look around to see where was Bi...Seeing Riddhima looking here and there... 'Bi tumhare liyeh soup bana rahi hai...' Armaan said...Riddhima got another shocked hearing Armaan answer...Never before Armaan has answer her any question then how on earth he understand her unspoken question... Riddhima keep looking at his face as he keep looking back to her...Armaan sat near the bed holding Riddhima hand and Riddhima was too shocked to react...She wasn't really understand what has happen to Armaan...So much changed, but how come he was dressing like that... 'Armaan aapne...' Riddhima was cut by Armaan again...'Mera haalat dekhne wali koi nehi ta...Tum ti lekin tum bhi yaha araam se leit rahi ti toh main kiske liyeh acche se tayyar hojaun...' Armaan said cutely to which Riddhima heart melt... 'Lekin Armaan, tumhe khudka bhi khayal rakhna chahiyeh ta na...'Riddhima said softly...'Lekin tumne mujhe khud bigaad di... Tumhari aadat hogayi aur tum bimar hokhe yaha...Riddhima, please jaldi tik hojao... Mujhe tumhari bohot jarurat hai...Armaan koh Riddhima ki bohot jarurat hai...' Armaan said cupping Riddhima one cheek with his hand as his other hand was still holding her hand... Tears form in Riddhima eyes hearing him... For the first time, Armaan said he needs someone and that too her...Riddhima was feeling so happy that Armaan was now better then ever...Her heart was jumping happily and she just wants to roam around shouting telling everyone that Armaan is back... Armaan drop a kiss on her forehead to which Riddhima closed her eyes feeling the moment... All this while, one pair of eyes were witnessing everything just happen...Tears were in that eyes and smile adoring on lips... Yes, it was none other then Bi who came with soup for Riddhima to see the perfect scene infront of her...She send a silent pray to god to keep things like this from today in Armaan and Riddhima life... Another two days past like this, Armaan take care of Riddhima and Riddhima was taking rest on Armaan order...Bi was roaming around the house happily as Armaan was now fine now...He was the Armaan Mallik the world knows... Riddhima wants to do Armaan needs but Bi and Armaan strictly order not to come out of bed as Doctor says she is still weak... 

THREE DAYS LATER

Riddhima was sitting on the bed with a novel on her hand as Armaan went saying he would be back soon...A while ago, Bi was here asking what they would want to have breakfast... As soon Armaan open his eyes, he came to see Riddhima and she was already up and Bi was combing her hair... When Bi left to get breakfast for them, Armaan also left saying he would be back soon... Riddhima who was lost in the novel hear footstep outside the room...She closed her eyes feeling the wind blows softly inside the room while fregrance of perfume came with the breeze... As it was Man perfume and Riddhima knows only one used it... Also Armaan is only the Man in the house other then Kaka who don't come this early in morning unless they call him... Riddhima open her eyes to see Armaan standing near the door...Smile form in Riddhima lips seeing how fresh and neat he was looking... After a week, Armaan has cut his hair neatly and shave his beard...He was wearing Dark Blue Shirt with first three button open and black jeans... Sparkle twinkling in his blue eyes... Smile on his face showing the dimple on his cheeks... Seeing Riddhima lost in him, he move towards her as he hold something... 'Aise kyun dekh rahe ho... Kapde toh tik haina... Ya main change karlun...' Armaan said standing near her as she was till staring at him without blinking her eyes...Riddhima who was lost on Armaan came back to sense when she heard Armaan talking...Armaan was standing next to her near the bed as she sat comfortably... Red color crap on Riddhima cheeks knowing he has caught her staring at him without blinking her eyes for a moment...Riddhima look back to her book as she was having difficult to control her feeling... As Riddhima didn't say a word, Armaan bend towards the book to see what she was reading...Seeing Armaan sudden act, Riddhima move a little behind as they were very closed...But as she was sitting on bed with the help of bed post and when Armaan bend over her, after Riddhima move back still they were closed enough to feel each other breath as Armaan turn to her meeting his eyes with hers... Riddhima forgot to breath when she smell his perfume so closed... She was soon lost in his eyes as the novel fall from her hand on the floor... Armaan smile seeing his effect on her... He bend down and took the book keeping it on the side table he sat next to her...Riddhima keep looking at him as he broke the eyelock... Armaan sit facing her as still one hand was behind his hiding something...'Tum love story kaise padte ho...' Armaan said with a frown on his face...'Jaise abhi tohdi der pad rahi ti waise...Aapke haat main kiya hai...' Riddhima ask before Armaan could asked about the novel... Armaan look at Riddhima and then turn his face looking back sitting in the same position... When Armaan was still trying to hide, Riddhima smile seeing the cute expression on his face...She knows he was new to this relation that both were sharing and even she was new for all this... 'Kiya huva...Mere liyeh aapne kuch laya kiya...' Riddhima asked...Armaan look towards her with shocked expression and he nodded his head not knowing whatelse to do... Riddhima forward her hand to which Armaan look towards it and then back to Riddhima...Riddhima knows by his expression he was confused...'Mere liyeh laaye ho toh de doh...' Riddhima says... Armaan forward a lily which was Riddhima favorite flower... She knows he got it from their garden... Riddhima try to hold it but Armaan move his hand back...Seeing Armaan action, Riddhima was confused this time...She asked through her eyes what has happen... 'Kiya main tumhari bhaal (Hair) pe lagadun...' Armaan asked cutely...Riddhima smile hearing her, at the moment Riddhima wish to pull his cheeks at the moment but hold herself back not knowing how Armaan would react by her act...'Aapko lagana aata hai...' Riddhima asked...Armaan face fell hearing her question as he didn't think it before...'Pehle kiya nehi lekin koshish toh kar sakta hoon na...' Armaan said after sometimes...Riddhima smile hearing how cutely he said it and she couldn't deny him doing what he wants to do... So she just blink her eyes when Armaan look towards her to get permission of her...Armaan understood Riddhima answers, so happy he move towards her standing near the bed... Next 5minutes past, Armaan was trying to put the flower on Riddhima hair...But it keeps falling as he didn't put with the hairclip... Riddhima try to tell him but he always cut her...'Main laga raha hoon na Riddhima...Tik se beito na... Tum aise hilte rahenge toh kaise lagaungi...' Armaan said...Riddhima sit quite and she keeps admiring Armaan expression... As Armaan was trying to put the flower, everytime he move his hand away, flower fell down... Frown wasn't leaving his face as he got a cute pout on his lips as he wasn't successful in his work... Riddhima keep admiring him and as he couldn't put in,Riddhima hold his hand as he was again trying to put it... Armaan was standing sideway of her so when she hold his hand, he bend little towards her to see her face...'Aise nehi lagapaenge aap...' Riddhima said as he look confused...'Woh meri bhaal (hair) main jo hairclip haina, use yeh hold karsakte hai...Nehi toh aap baar baar aise lagayenge toh bhi yeh phool ghir ti rahenge...' Riddhima said... Armaan smile seeing how she explain him so nicely...So without saying anything, he put the way she said and she was right...It was too easy, Armaan came and sit happily near her taking her hand in his...'So, hows u feeling...' Armaan asked as she try to take the novel from the side table...'Boring... Pata haina kitna bore hojati hoon main yaha pure din bed pe...' Riddhima said playing with the pages of the book...'Haan lekin jab tak Doctor nehi kehte tum tik ho, tum chup chap yaha araam karongi...' Armaan said as he still was holding her one hand... 'Hmm... Mujhe pata hai, Aap aur Bi milke mujhe koi kaam karne nehi denge...' Riddhima said not looking at Armaan...Armaan understood what she means by it...He knows she felt happy to do his little work but he has seen how she got sick and seeing her like that he felt that he was losing someone special again... 'Woh issiliyeh tumne doh week main itna kaam kiya ki tum khud bimar hogayi...Issiliyeh ab doctor ne permission denge bhi toh tum ek limit main kaam karenge... Aur Bi haina tumhe help karne ke liyeh...' Armaan said as he keep caring Riddhima hand...Riddhima felt shiver run down on her spine and Armaan felt her shiver under his affect... 'Riddhima...' Their moment was disturb by Bi who came followed by the doctor...Doctor check Riddhima and says she can do whatever she was from the next day...Also he asked not to over work and ignore her health... Riddhima was happy where else Armaan ask doctor if she should take another week rest...Seeing how much Armaan care for Riddhima, doctor smile saying it wouldn't be necessary if Riddhima take proper rest... When the doctor leave, Bi got breakfast for them...
