Here Armaan was worried how to take Rahul and Atul inside Gupta Mansion, Rahul was enjoying his worried look.

"hiee Ridhhima, suno na" Armaan thought to ask Ridzi.

"wo Papa, actually Ananya aunty ne kuch samaan mangaya tha so that she can set jijs room according to Muski's choice, isiliye mujhe bula rahi hain but I have lots of works over here also"

"don't worry Ridzi, tum jao. Yaha mai handle kar lungi bas jaldi aa jana" Padma said patting her back.

Sham me Muskaan k sath sath would be Mrs.Mallik to v khila khila rahna hai"

"ji aunty" she replied shyly.

"achha tum jao Armaan v Rahul k hi room hai. Maine Rahul ko Atul k yaha bheja hai warna sara surprise flop ho jayega" saying so she left to check arrangements of haldi and Riddhima move towards Rahul's room wondering where Armaan is.

As she enter inside, someone drag her and shushed her mouth with his hand before she can shout. She closed her eyes out of fear while Armaan observe her fearful face with a cute smile.

He leaned forward to kiss her eyes and Ridzi smile under his hold remembering his touch while opening her eyes. Both get lost into each other eyes.

"Armaan jaldi kaam finish kar k neeche aa jana" Ananya's voice bring them on reality.

"kya karti ho Riddhima, sara kaam bhool jata hu mai tumhe dekh k" he complain while getting away.

"Achha, to kisne kaha tumhe aise shock dene ko, kitna darr gai thi mai" she retort back.

"ok sorryyy, big deal, kaam kare? Waise thanks for coming" saying so he again leaned towards her but she keep him away by putting her hand between them.

"kaam karna hai na Armaan, so focus ok" she mimic him.

"oh, ha kaam, right" smiling to himself he said.
