Mere Paas Raho (Stay with me)

Part 8

Riddhima was standing there shocked. She couldnt believe her eyes. Siddhant, her cousing, her soon to be husband was standing right in front of her. She literally lost her voice. On the other hand, Siddhant was very happy to see Riddhima and he was glad that she was totally fine. As soon as Riddhima opened the door, he looked at her angelic face and got lost in her. Her voice brought him back on earth.

R: Siddhant

S: Riddhima, Khuda ka shukar hai ke tum theek ho, mujhe to laga ke mene tumko paane se pehle hi kho diya.

Before Riddhima could utter anything, Siddhant came forward and took Riddhima in a rib crushing hug. Not to be rude, Riddhima hugged him back. Riddhima did not feel scared, but also not safe, like in Armaans arms. The thought of Armaan loosened her grip on Sid and she came out of his hug.

R: Sid me bilkul theek hu. Tumhe fikar karne ki zaroorat nahi hai.

S: Fikar kaise nahi hogi, aakhir meri hone wali biwi ho tum.

Riddhima looked up to him and felt extremely guilty. He is right, she will be his wife soon, but still she spent the night with Armaan in his room, in his bed. Before riddhima could say anything, she looked up and saw Armaan standing there. She could say that he was angry, very angry actually. But she couldnt point out why he was suddenly angry.

Armaan saw Sid and Riddhima standing too close to each other, and he even saw how they both hugged, and worse, riddhima hugged him back. That was like someone has stabbed him in his heart, and that was non other Riddhima herself. He didnt like the feeling, that she is being touched by someone else than him. He knows, that he is using her just for his plan, but still no one has the right to come closer to her, than himself. As he saw Riddhima looking in his direction he got more pissed off and went back into the room. After changing he came back and saw Sid and Riddhima sitting on the couch and chatting with each other. He got furious and decided to behave just as a bodyguard, and showing no emotions at all. he stood next to Riddhima and looked straight forward. Showing no emotions. Sid saw him coming, and looked toward Riddhima with questioning eyes.

A: Good morning mam, sir.

R: Armaan tum...

A: Jee madam.

Riddhima was shocked by his behaviour, she knows that he is her boyfriend, but she thought that they were on another level since yesterday. She does not see him as her bodyguard at all. He is much more to him. And even he knows that.

S: Riddhima yeh koun hai?

R: Sid yeh hai Armaan, mera do

A: bodyguard, Sir me inka bodyguard hu.

Armaan knew that riddhima wanted to say that he is her boyfriend, but right know he was really pissed off, and he didnt want Riddhima to call him her friend. They are definitely more than just friends. And if she is afraid to tell it to Sid, that he will be just her bodyguard.

S: Bodyguard?

A: Yes Sir, Riddhima ke, I mean riddhima mam ke bhai ne mujhe inki duty pe lagaya hai. Ab me har waqt in ke saath rahunga.

R: Armaan please.

A: me sirf apna kaam kar raha hu MAM.

Riddhima was looking at Armaan with hurt. Unknow to them, Sid could easily feel the tension between the two. But he tried to ignore it. As their engagement was coming up, Sid decided to go shopping with Riddhima. He wanted to divide her mind.

S: Riddhima kyunke hamari engagement ka din bohot kareeb aa raha hai, to kyu na hum shopping ke liye chale. Tum apni pasand ka dress bhi le sakti ho.
