Arrange Marriage | Backseat or the Driving seat of dreams

Part 39

Ridhima was upset with the fact that someone gives a deal to her husband just because she is well known in her work now and he is her husband. Though Armaan had tried to calm her down to which she even give a nod for time being just to dismiss it as Armaan won't like her thinking much about it.

Whole night she wasn't able to sleep a wink as she was thinking of ways to make Mittal regret about his words he has said to her husband. When Armaan wake up he saw her lost somewhere still in his arms.

"Ridhima" he called her out as he opened his eyes to welcome a new day but seeing her reddish eyes he knew she was up all night. Ridhima looks at him and instantly regrets it as his morning calm face instantly turns into the worried face.

"What happened," he asked her but got no reply instead she got up from bed, walking towards the window she stops looking outside at birds chirping around starting their day with a happy note but here, her day started with a bad mood all because of that Mittal.

Seeing her not responding Armaan make her turn towards him "Ridhima you are still on it" seeing her lowering her eyes confirms his doubts. "Ridhima why are you to taking all this like that baby. You know how proud I feel seeing that everyone around in this world acknowledging your work and talent you have."

"Armaan I do want to be what I am today to stand on my own. But I never wanted people to treat my loved once special because I am related to them, I want them to treat my loved one or people close to me special because they themselves are so capable to get that special treatment. I feel like I have achieved something great today as my work is taking my name around. but at the same time, I feel like I lost something huge as I heard that news. I can't really explain it to you Armaan what exactly I am feeling its... I can't even give words to my feelings."

"Ridhima please listen to me, look I know you are not feeling good about it but ridhima look vat it from my eyes na. Once you will see all this from my eyes then you will know how proud I am today. Tell me one thing if today u teach me about cooking and tomorrow with the hard work I make a perfectly delicious dish than people will look at you and say she is his wife won't you felt proud of that, won't you feel proud that I am your husband who is getting all praise and you are getting to be known by my name which would be because you taught me or helped me guided me. Hmm"

"Yes I will feel proud of you Armaan, but Armaan what are you saying that totally different issue" but she was cut in middle "No ridhima it not a different issue it's the same but with a different perspective. I set an example in front of you because cooking is what you love in free time so that was what I get to make you understand."

She stares in his eyes trying to fish out something but she wasn't able to find it not even the hint of it. Armaan who was staring back at her was silent for some time before he continues seeing her trying to read his eyes for something "Ridhima I know you might be thinking that all this will bring some difference in our relations as it might have hurt my ego..."

"Self-respect," ridhima said making Armaan chuckle "Ridhima it's no self-respect but the ego that gets hurt of men when their wife gets more successful but ridhima that ego comes in relation when it's not developed or when they don't understand each other or When they don't want to know what their partner was doing, was not to make other down but because they want to feel confident in whatever they are doing. Ridhima Papa and bhaiya have asked me to join you not because they feel you can't achieve things on your own but just because they knew one day you will get this what you are getting today all name and recognition so they just wanted me to be beside you so that you won't feel this what you are feeling right now. They wanted to you feel all happy proud instead of getting worried as they knew this sweet, cute and sensitive girl of the house would feel bad if someone calls her people with her name." he ended pinching her nose ever so cutely making her pout leaving alone to frown to fade out with the incoming call of a smile.
