Armaan was waiting for her from past 10 mins and his heart was thudding badly as he had planned something for today. He saw towards the stairs and was left dazed to see her in a pure white sari.
When he saw her descending the stairs he was left speechless. He was in a daze looking at the beauty in front of him. He thought was he so lucky to have this beautiful beside him for his whole life. His thoughts were snapped out when he heard his name being called. He saw that Riddhima was standing in front of him with a nervous smile. He gave a small smile and leaned down to her ear, "you look beautiful in this saree." she blushed and lowered her eyes down while biting her lower lip. He saw her blushing and her cheeks turned to the exact colour of her sindoor. Then they both drove away after few minutes of recovering their heart beat to normal. While driving Riddhima queried him as to where they were going, but he did not give her even a clue as to where they were heading to. After 30 mins drive, the car came to halt in front of a temple. He got down and opened her side door and forwarded his hand in front of her. she glanced at his hand and his face and when he gave a small nod she smiled at him and stepped outside with the support of his hand.
After taking the Pooja thali from the shop, they both started climbing the steps which were about 50 to 75. both had their fingers intertwined while climbing it. Once when they reached on the top, Riddhima tried to put the pallu on her head but struggled due to the thali in her one hand. Armaan helped her to cover her head and both went inside. They offered their prayers. Riddhima opened her eyes after praying for the new start her life with Armaan, she saw Armaan staring at her. When she asked him what from her eyes, he moved back a step and gave a gift wrapped box to her. She was confused and when he gestured her to open it, she was surprised to see the mangalsutra in that box with a pair of beautiful earrings with that.
She saw him smiling at her. "Armaan ye, aap ise kab,……." She could not complete her sentence as he kept his finger on her lips "shhhh". "Maine ye payal ke saath hi liya tha. Maine socha ki agar tum apne ateet ko bhulakar mere saath aage badhogi to main tumhe ye pehnadunga, par…… and he left his sentence in the middle. She could see the pain on his face and had slight tears in her eyes. She placed her hand on his cheek and made him to look at her and gave the box to him. he was confused as to why she had returned it back to him at first, but when he saw her turning her back and pulling all her hair to her one side, he understood she wanted him to make her wear it. He felt happy about that and took the mangalsutra in his hand and placed it around her neck and hooked it. She turned back and bent down to take his blessings, Armaan was taken back with this gesture and said, "arre Riddhima kya karrahi ho, pls get up." "Armaan mujhe ashirwaad nahi denge. Apni nai zindagi ki shuruwat karne jaa rahi hoon." He made her stand up holding both her arms and took her in a side hug. Then the priest came and gave them the prasad. He took a pinch of sindoor from the plate and swiped it on her hair. Both had a graceful smile on their face and sat down for sometime and returned back to the car. They both had their dinner in a restaurant and shared some small things of their life and returned back to their nest.
Once they were at home, when they both were in the corridor walking to their respective rooms, they both had a wild silent between them. They didn't know how to approach the other person to share a single room from now onwards as the things were all going right between them. As none dared to speak both went inside their rooms after giving a long look to each other.
STRICTLY 18+
Later that night, Riddhima crossed the kitchen and walked into her dark room. When she turned from closing the door, she found herself pushed against it, Armaan holding her tightly. Then, his mouth was against her, violently. She recognized demand, passion, need, hunger, greed, and the longing love. His lips moved to her neck and stayed there, his finger held her waist and probed her to respond.
