Arrange Marriage | Backseat or the Driving seat of dreams

Part 16

Following day they stepped out to explore around. Going through road they end up in a Curious Corner house. Buying their entrance for the house they moved in to experience the real illusion of all time. Curious Corner house is the package of illusions that one can experience with his open eyes making their mind felt the curiosity to know how it happens. Trying to gather all the knowledge to get their answer seems to fail for that moment. They step inside Ames Room. Ridhima armaan moved to different corners of the room doing some actions to each other they were having silent action fun but the room failed to amaze their visionary power. Strolling in the room they felt it was just the waste of energy to surf in the room which holding nothing that would gain their attention. Moving out of the room they were about to walk away when a person on the gate stopped them offering few of the clicks saying "Here Are you Photograph Sir". Armaan was surprise that when and why they clicked them "What photos". Armaan said talking the envelope in his hands. "The room with naked eyes may not look to attractive to hold your attention but the vision through other side of the lens surely meddle your mind." Saying so he walked away. Armaan open up wrapping to see certain photos of them clicked while they were scrolling one side to other on the other side of the walls. It gives the view that one person is big enough as a giant while the person on the other corner look like a small ant. They laughed at one pic in which by chance ridhima was showing him a fist to beat him looking giant size while he was acting scared looking tiny creature all scared of the giant in front of him. Another frame showed armaan as giant blowing some air and ridhima all stuck to wall as if forced with air he was blowing.Laughing in their own tune they kept moving only to be stopped on the door step of other room which reads Mirror Maze. Moving inside they saw their own numerous self-staring back at them. Moving more inside they saw themselves multiplying Clicking they moved more in lengths when they saw mirrors reflecting their image in different shape size. They look all fat as sumo in one while in other they look lean as a stick. In one they look as dwarf while in other they looked tall like Eifel tower again clicking their own different body frames. At the fat reflecting mirror armaan drag ridhima with him making her stand in front of him he said "Ridhima it will be your future very soon. See it still look so cute Mann"Hearing him ridhima's mind went to totally different track. She felt little embarrassed with his comment all of a sudden all her laugher came to a halting end. But his next statement make her felt more embarrassed "You keep having all junky food not taking any healthy food will surely give you so much fat". Armaan said it all in area of her eating habit while her mind went on the ride in different direction. It was like conversation few days back never left her mind since se hear those men. It felt as if she came to know new aspect of life from them, which refuse to leave her mind. It does happen to every individual that newly learnt things keep meandering thoughts flow at vastly different rate in your mind, but it was all old thing t was they study they have done long back in school. Still those talk keep lingering in her mind for no good in this delicate situation where they are giving time to each other and their relationship. She defiantly knew that all stuff which she conveniently ignored all this time in her life but being in the relation with a man where she happens to be his wife not 'Just a friend' surly kicked all those lessons from 7th grade in motion.Seeing her lost armaan was confused seeing which ridhima quickly passed a smile to him so as not to bring uncomfortableness in between. He wasn't convinced with her half smile but let it go for a while. Next target was an upside down room the grand illusion of all. Things present in the room look all upside down as if every materialistic things are very easy kept on the ceiling or the other way round like you are hanging from the ceiling.In all those rooms cctv camera was fixed at some angles capturing people roaming inside to give the memories of amazing illusions they visualized in real world. Exiting every room they got envelopes collecting every one of them they moved towards the small restro built inside the Curios corner house premises. Ordering their own fav. dishes they settle down on the table waiting for their order mean while they were looking at the photos that were been clicked for them.as soon as their food arrived to their table both of them moved all the pictures aside safely all ready to attack their food as they both were too hungry to hold onto their growling stomach more with all the walking around different rooms.Once their stomach felt tightness gripping their hand rejected to lift food till their mouth. Relaxing back for some more time they paid for the servings then left the restro to explore more of the house. There was another room in the house named as Laser Music Room. It was dark at the door opening look stepping inside the door was closing behind them blacking out even a single ray of light that was lighting the room little coming from outside was shut out only. Ridhima caught armaan's hand in fear of darkness engulfing in. But as the door behind them meet its frame with clicking sound the room lighten up with colorful ray lights coming from roof meeting its ground. Armaan ridhima was confused with the lights pattern as they never fall on something that can project some important thing to them, it even didn't give any music to their ears still it was named as the Music room. Moving in they reached till the rays falling place. Ridhima turn behind to see armaan she was about to speak up something when sudden music beat hit and went off. Ridhima revolve back on her feet in earlier position. Confused with sudden beat and off she turn back to armaan but again that hit the beat for a second before it dissolve in silence. Ridhima was confused with this but armaan who was behind knew beats incoming and going. Armaan smiled at her confused face with small pout. He lifted her one hand with his while his another hand lift so the same level. He slightly strike her and with one of the laser visible while his other hand hit the other colored laser breaking the silence of the room it produce the beat. Ridhima's eye widen with new experience she faced turning her head she look at armaan with "How did you get that". "When you turned around I saw your hair strike against the laser producing beat. So..." with this little ohh of her she turn her head back and started to play with the laser lights making her own tune in her own playful mood. Armaan was amazed with her striking pattern as it was surely producing a smoothing music to hear to taking his phone out he touched the screen opening up the recording app pushing his fingure once again on the screen he hold it in place to recorded the tune she was playing. She was playing with the rays of light with giggling self-thinking of one or another music piece she classified as her favorite. She spare a look at him as he was not playing along and her just one look gave it all to him and forgetting the phone with one look of her he too started playing along her. They surly created their own fun tunes while those lasers were creating its own tune their laugh was not behind. It was giving another music to the room. With the challenging looks they both one by one played the tunes of one or the other song they want to show their own talent to the other. Having fun they came out of the room after nearly 2 hours later to see darkness that was inside the room few hour back started to settle in the sky too. They chose to go back to the hotel for the day's rest. On their way back they got a call from Karan on ridhima's phone. Ridhima happily picked up the call "Namaste Papa... Kaise hain aap. Aur maa kaise hain." On other side karan smiled with her enthusiastic greetings "Hum dono Bhadiya hain aap aur armaan kasie ho beta". "Hum Bhi bahut ache hain papa... waise kal raat aap kahan the Mein ne aur Maa ne itni baatein ki thi. Phir Bhabhi aur jiju se bhi baat Hui bus aapse baat nahi Hui" Ridhima complained her Father-in-law hearing her he laughed out. "I was in Office beta. After all Armaan took you away Na toh Office mein aapke bina itna kaam hota hain ki mange hi nahi kar pata time pe." Ridhima smiled with his way of appreciating her "Koi nahi papa jab hum wapas aayenga tab aap maa ke sath vacation le Lena thoda sa phir hum dono sambha lenga office mein aap thoda araam karna." Karan knew her she can never take anything in other way she took every word coming from the person in front of her in a very spotting manner always taking positive side out of it. Ridhima brief Karan a little about their day which he heard with full response. Karan asked her to bring armaan on the line so he can communicate with him. Armaan took the call to greet his dad. "Yes dad. How are you and aap ye kal raat itni late tak office mein kya kar rahe the" "I am doing great... Listen armaan ek important kaam aa gaya hain usi ke karan mein kal office mein late tak tha." "Kya hua dad All okay. Do you need me to cut short this trip" instantly karan replied "No... No... don't cut short your trip. There was a project jis mein hamari company invest kar rahi thi. Us Company se meeting 2 Week baad thi but suddenly they are prompting to have meeting day after tomorrow. Hear I have equally important meeting to attend and since you are there i thought if you can attend to it I can't come for now""Sure dad is mein sochne wali kya baat Hui, aur jab we are hear what is the need for you to come here I will see to it." Armaan assured karan. "It's nothing dad it will take few hours only I will meet them and brief them about it." Karan was happy to hear him "Hmm... Armaan ridhima was briefing me in that project... she know many things about it She will Tell you all" armaan give his agreement to karan before cutting the call. Ridhima who was listening to armaan sitting beside him ask him if there was a problem. "Just a sudden meeting came up day after tomorrow here only. Mr.Hawwa's project needs attention" "I was briefing papa in that project. Mein tumhe detail De dungi or better I will come with you" armaan look at her accepting her offer "Okay I guess that will finish things early".They reached hotel with all those talks when they got a call from nandani who seems angry "Namaste maa kaise ho aap" ridhima greeted her only to hear her spoke in anger "Mein theek hun. Give the phone to that idiot Husband of yours" ridhima was baffled with her words she haven't seen rather hear her like that in pass month then sudden change meant to baffle her. She forwarded her phone towards armaan with fallen face "Hello maa" armaan took the phone and greeted nandani looking ridhima's sudden sad face. "Keep your phone on the speaker" she ordered armaan in her anger. Armaan was shocked as ridhima to hear his mom being so much angry. "Armaan you are not going for any meeting day after tomorrow. It's your vacation not some business tour that you will get caught up with meeting. Tumhare dad toh hai hi workaholic tumhe bhi Bana denga. Koi meeting nahi karni hain enjoy your vacation with ridhima." Armaan tried to intertwine in between "Mom. It will take just few hours." But she cut him in between "I don't care the hours it will take or a meeting of minute. You are not going to go for it." "Par mom dad ne is project ke liya itni mehenat ki hai... aise kaise" but she was not ready to buy any of the reason that will give him gateway to attend the meeting. "I don't want to hear anything. You are not going to step in any of the office business there" Ridhima who was a little baffled back then when she got her call was now smile hearing her reason of anger so she tried to speak up "Maa Its okay I will be fine. I know you are angry with this meeting but see Na hum sab ne kitni mehenat ki Hain is project pe. Aur agar papa is meeting to Kisi tarah attend kar pate toh vo humein bolte hi nahi na" from background she heard karan "See ridhima bhi jaanti hain mujhe nandani" but his voice stopped then and there only with probably her one glare. "Maa armaan meeting nahi karenga toh bahut loss ho jayega Na company ka" nandani counter answered her "I don't care of any loss. Moreover company can bear it all" ridhima smile at her intensions that are hidden though not so successfully behind her anger "Maa its better ki armaan ye meeting kar aaye aur agar unhone ne project cancel kar diya toh loss Sirf financial nahi hoga. Hamari sab ki Jo mehenat hain vo bhi toh Kho jayegi na. Papa ne itni mehenat ki hain project mein aur thodi si meri bhi toh hain Na maa. Maan jaiye please." She surely knew how to convince her and wola...! nandani was convinced with her last words. "Theek Hain Teri bhi mehenat hain toh man jaati hun mein. Warna Karan toh hain hi workaholic inka kya hain. Aur meeting mein Jana hain toh armaan jaye bus ridhima tum nahi jaoge" Ridhima agreed with Nandani's condition armaan who was hearing his mom and wife trying to convince each other saw his wife giving bright smile defeating his mom. First time in life someone has defeated her in convincing this sure need to go down in the pages of history. "Maa you agreed with ridhima. You took defeat in front of her." Armaan asked in surprised tone "Hunh...!! Hain toh vo meri beti hain toh uski baat toh maan-ni padegi Na." "Woo Mom pehli baar aap Kisi ki baat maani hain kaam ke baare mein warna meri aur papa ki toh aaj tak nahi maani aapne." "Hain toh Teri Biwi jaanti hain ki mujhe kaise manana hain" armaan looked at ridhima who was smiling brightly "Lagta hai mujhe ridhima se lessons Lena padegi aapni hi maa ko kaise manana hain is baat pe" Nandani spoke "Hain Le Lena. Mein tab bhi nahi manungi tu meeting kar bus tu apne dad ki baat maan mein aapni ki hi baat manungi ja tu" Nandani said as if a sulking child making all of them giggle that make her sulk more "Hunh... bye"And with that nandani kept the call with sulking more seeing her husband smiling at her. While armaan was amazed with his mother's behavior from past few min. "Ahh..! Maa is already teaming with you I surely gonna have hard time once we will be back." Armaan exclaimed while ridhima "Koi nahi I will show you the back door to mom's agreement" ridhima said in serious tone but as soon as she finished they both laughed with her come up idea. Soon armaan got busy in collecting the papers faxed and detail mailed to him. Asking hotel authorities to bring him the printout of some papers he sat back relaxing to see ridhima calling the food section of hotel for their dinner. After having dinner armaan received all the faxed and print outs in his hands. They both lay back to sleep deciding to discuss the project detail the next day.Next day went into the project discussion where ridhima briefed armaan giving him all the details she knew about. Also helped him making presentation for the meet. As meeting was fixed for next day at 10 in the morning ridhima suggested armaan to rest well before meeting while she will do the last minute details. He resisted her saying she too need rest as she was helping him all day but ridhima didn't denied him verbally but saying him to read file while lying a little so his body can have rest. He did so as he was already feeling tiered and as soon as he relaxed himself on bed lying to read the file ridhima sit beside him to inform him more about the project and after a while she little massages his head making his eyes close taking him to the dream world. Smiling at her own way of getting him to sleep as she wanted, she delicately removed his hands from files lying on the bed to be filled by him, picking the file she moved to her bedside switching or the other lights of room except her own bedside lamp so she can fill in the little details left. After an hour she too fall asleep holding the file in her lap. Little by little she slide down to find comfort in her sleep but that sliding happens on the side ways instead and then her head found the landing on his chest. Feeling the weight on him he moved his hand that was rest on his side moved up and down before it lands on her holding her securely in his arms. Both of them were sleeping unknown to their on sleeping style with smile on their face for a reason to be discovered.He woke up next day before her and saw her sleeping with a small smile on her lips resting her one palm on his chest below her head while other lay near her stomach on the bed with file peacefully resting below. Armaan smile at her realizing she have successful put him to sleep without arguing with him in words. she defiantly have her own ways of getting things done as she wish to them to be without making other feel it. But soon he frown noticing the spec resting carelessly on her nose with file below her hand on bed with frowning lines stretched on her forehead. He removed her glasses keeping then on his side table he turn back and for pushing few flings behind her ears. Then he try to get up without disturbing her but failed to do so as he notice her moving her head and hand little so as to get back to sleep but suddenly she felt something missing.... In half sleepy state hear mind scream about her pillow... Yeah her pillow is missing. Few seconds back it was right below her hands and face resting on it but suddenly the pillow is missing. Can a pillow make a walk by himself trying to figure out the answer to these questions that her slumbering yet active mind is putting forward she open her eyes with a very small window for her retina to see through. She saw armaan getting up from bed straightening his cloths and then pulling out the file lift her hand gently with small smile playing on his lips with shaking head over some thought accelerating in his mind. Once he was done taking out file frim her grip he place it on the table that was placed a little away from their bed. He then moved to the washroom for freshening up himself before waking her up. But since the time she open her eyes a little her all sleep wake away seeing her smiling adorable partner. Once he close the door ridhima came out of her admiration mood with a jerk. Getting up from her lazy sleeping mode and Setting on bed while combing her hairs with her fingure she again wondered about the question that her brain was asking for a while back. How the hell her pillow vanished suddenly, then her eyes noticed the direction of her sleeping. She firstly got confused but then remember she was completing the file last night when she must have fallen asleep. She they notices her sleeping alignment on the bed wasn't the usual one. She was sleeping parallel to the bed post. Realizing her eyes widen with the fact her pillow can really walk. She was sleeping on her waling pillow. PILLOW... do Hell it wasn't her pillow it was armaan's chest she was resting her hand and head on all night sleeping without any care in the world. She was busy in her own thoughts when her thoughts got dragged out of her mind seeing armaan emerging out of the washroom with pants on and with vest tucked in with wet hairs. He was walking to the suitcase to take his shirt out. Few Droplets fall on ridhima's face while he was rubbing his head. He turn around taking his shirt out when he found ridhima sitting with closed eyes on the bed he haven't noticed her wake earlier. He was confuse to see her sitting with closed eyes smiling a bit. "Kya hua ridhima" He asked her bringing her out of her dream and smiling lips turn to straight line with vanished smile. "Hunh... Nahi kuch nahi... Vo mein Kuch soch rahi thi." Ridhima replied getting up. "Can a get a penny of your thoughts... aisa kya Soch rahi thi That Make you smile." Ridhima smile again hearing him "Nothing Bus aise hi... You ready for meeting let me freshen up then have breakfast and then go." She said in an ordering tone unknowingly but armaan noticed order in her tone, smiling he replied "Sure Ma'am" with Salute. She saw him while taking her cloths out shaking her head moving to washroom she closed the door. That's when she acknowledge her tone while talking to him. Surprised with new changes in herself she felt blushing, laughing smacked herself at the back of her head she got freshen up with only thoughts. Meanwhile he too was smiling to himself to see them growing with each other in this new relation. He was loving slow yet most enjoyable phase of his life right now. With Luv Aayushi... PS.
