"Armaan.." She breathed and held his hands in hers. She cried as he looked away from her. She wanted to hold him, close with their bodies entangled that no force would be able to pull them away but he wasn't even looking at her. And somehow this time she never doubted his love, somehow she knew it was because he was ashamed, because he didn't want to hurt her and her heart broke to see him in that state, the state where he loathed himself, where he felt unworthy of her.

DMG AU. What if Riddhima hadn't given into Shashank and refused to marry Sid in s2? This is what happens when Armaan comes back home and his Basket is still Riddhima Gupta and not Mrs. Riddhima Modi.

DMG S2 AU When Riddhima said that she needed to choose her responsibility and save her marriage with Sid rather than choose her happiness with Armaan, he left. It wasn't that he left because he was heartbroken (even though he was) and it wasn't because he hated Sid for ruining everything (even though he kind of did). He left because he wanted to make things easier for her. But, that was 7 years ago. Coming face to face by what Riddhima thinks is fate and Armaan thinks is co incidence, they're thrown together again as they plan the best day of their friends' lives. Things should be easy. After all, they've had 7 years to get over it. But is it enough? Riddhima wonders. She can't complain though, because she made that decision for them. Plus, she has Sid (kind of) and Armaan seems to have moved on. Or has he? When old feelings resurface and unhealed wounds are opened again, will Armaan and Riddhima finally have a shot at their happily ever after? [ Cover by the absolutely amazing @Roozieh ❤ ]
