Last Part: Agar Tum Saath Ho




A MONTH AND TWO WEEKS LATER 

Nothing has change between Armaan and Riddhima after their marriage, if only anything has it was the name to their relation... The bonding Riddhima share with each member of the house was same or much more stronger in last month and few weeks... Everyone was happy to see Riddhima in front of their eyes 24/7 hours as now they don't have to get worried if she has reach home safely or not in late night...

Shashank and Smriti has left after a week Riddhima got married to Armaan, they all spend time together as Armaan and Ridhdima deny to go on honeymoon yet as saying they want to spend this time with both families... No one force them on going honeymoon as they know in which terms they got married...
They know Armaan and Riddhima would be ready one day when they realized the true feelings they have for each other till then they could wait as they understand it would take time for them to adjust in this new routine of their life together... Also when Shashank and Smriti left, Riddhima was feeling little low is the reason no one push them to go on vacation as they know it would be best for Riddhima to stay with family... 

Just like every year, this year also Mallik's were arranging Valentine Party... Rahul was out of country for two weeks so Muskaan and Riddhima took the responsibilities to organized the function this year letting the Mallik gents rest this year as now two daughter in law is present in the family to take such responsibility when its needed...
First Armaan didn't agree but Muskaan and Riddhima being Karan's favorite two people make him give permission for them to take all the responsible from the smallest to big to organized the Valentine party... They ask everyone to make list of guest whom they wanted to invite, everything else they would do by their way this time to see if they are less then Mallik's gent or not...

When Armaan didn't get support from Nandini also in that matter, he just let things to the ladies warning them it should be best or else they wouldn't get the responsibilities in future... Muskaan and Riddhima take it as a challenge and they started their work before a month to Valentine... Other's try to know what they are planning but they didn't tell any single information to them saying just wait and watch... It would be one of the best Mallik's Valentine Party in whole their life...

So everyone was very much excited for that day, however letting the ladies do the arrangement others were busy in their work but always ask if they need any help from them just to get some information about the planning they are doing for the party...
In all this, Armaan and Riddhima bonding was getting stronger but she also didn't let him know what they had plan for the party... Armaan try to get hold of anything which give a clue but being smarter then the gents, ladies didn't leave any such clues which would give hint to them...

It was another normal day for Armaan and Karan as they left to office in morning after having breakfast, Riddhima took off as she has to go shopping with Nandini and Muskaan... As the ladies took the responsible to shop for the gents, they didn't ask any guy to accompany them as they don't want to give a clue of which type and color cloths they were going to wear on that day...

When Karan and Armaan came in the evening by 5pm, still the ladies were out shopping... They freshen up and Armaan was again in his detective mode when Riddhima came after finishing the shopping for the day... She left the bags with Nandini knowing no gents would dare to check her wardrobe...
As soon as Riddhima walk in the room, she move to the closet to get fresh cloth and hit the shower as she was in need of one... Riddhima saw Armaan coming out, she was startled seeing him there that too early as Armaan use to come by 7pm now a days...
'Tum kab aaye...' Riddhima asked...
'Just few minutes ago, shopping hogaye tumhare...' Armaan asked looking to check if she got any bags...
'Haan hogayi, bas kuch samaan rehgaye hai... Hum Sunday koh jaakar le lenge... Tumne coffee li???' Riddhima asked collecting her dress...
'Nehi, tum fresh hojao aur mujhe acche wali coffee bana doh...' Armaan said...
'Yeah just fifteen minutes...' Riddhima said moving in to the washroom...

Armaan look here and there to see where Riddhima kept the bags but not finding anywhere in the room, he hit on the bed feeling tired... He laid thinking where she could have kept the bag then thought maybe she didn't bring anything in the room and left if the hall... Looking at the washroom door, Armaan left the room and scan the hall to see if any bags were kept there or not... Not seeing any bags or anyone other then Karan who was enjoy his evening coffee and watching television, Armaan came back to room to see Riddhima was out from the shower...

Armaan move inside as if he was up to nothing, he move to the rack and took a file, he went to the bed and sit as if trying to let Riddhima think that he was busy in work... Riddhima who very well know what much be going in Armaan mind at the moment press her lips to control her laugh... She knows by Armaan behavior when and what he must be thinking...
'Tumhe coffee ke saath kuch chahiyeh Armaan...' Riddhima asked moving towards the door to leave the room...
'Nehi, bas coffee... I had a heavy lunch today with some clients...' Armaan said...
'Ok, I will be back soon...' Riddhima said...

The moment Riddhima left the room, Armaan rush towards the closet... Closing the door of the closet, Armaan move to the side where Riddhima kept all her cloths... He never did this before but he thought to check her department to see where she has kept anything there or not...
After checking the racks, Armaan started to search the drawers... Everything was neatly arrange and first time Armaan saw her inner wears which was match to one another... He smile seeing how a clean freak Riddhima is, as from few days she has come to his life, she had been deciding each and every cloth which Armaan would be wearing every day...

As Armaan was back to his searching, something caught in his eyes... As it look familiar, Armaan took it out holding it close to have a good look at it... That moment, Armaan heard Riddhima calling him... Waiting to know more about it, Armaan move out from the closet to ask Riddhima how that end up there...
Riddhima who came with their coffee look towards the bed to see Armaan no where... She check the balcony thinking Armaan might have been there to attend a call but not finding him there either, she move inside calling his name... She heard the closet door open and Armaan coming out holding something...

Armaan look at Riddhima showing it which Riddhima saw clearly it was a mask... She wonder how on earth Armaan got hold of it, when it realized that he might have been looking at her things Riddhima eyes got wide thinking what if Armaan check her private things...
'Armaan, yeh tumhe... Did u just check my drawers???? What were you up to haan...???' Riddhima ask taking the mask from him...
'Woh main kuch dhund raha ta aur mujhe yeh mila lekin Riddhima, yeh tumhare paas kaise???' Armaan asked...
'Kaise matlab, yeh meri hai toh meri paas rahenge na... Don't tell me u was on ur detective mode again Armaan... Kitni baar kaha hai stop finding any clue because we are not going to leave any hint for u gents about the party...' Riddhima said...
'I know Riddhima but yeh kabki hai...' Armaan asked pointing towards the mask...

Seeing why Armaan was so interest in this mask, Riddhima look at the mask as flashback come in front of her eyes as smile make its way in to her lips... Armaan who was looking towards Riddhima waiting for her to speak, saw the smile and was confused why she was smiling...
'Riddhima...' Armaan asked bringing her out from her dream land...
'Haan woh, yeh na jab main collage mein ti tab last year mein prom mein humhare collage mein party rakka toh maine yeh us party mein pehena... U know Armaan, sabko meri mask bohot pasand aayi... It was indeed one of the unique one and perfectly fit for me...' Riddhima said again lost in the past...

Armaan was surprise to here this as he has recognized this mask the moment his eyes laid on it... How can he forget it when for the first time in his life, she met that girl whose eyes were the most gorgeous and expressive eyes Armaan has seen in his whole life... He couldn't forget about those eyes for months, which hunted in his dreams as he couldn't see her face because everyone was covering their mask that night as it was organized for the prom party...

FLASH BACK START

Music was blasting, boys and girls were enjoying the night as it was their last prom night as it was their last year... Some where enjoying foods and drinks while others were firing in the dance floor as they move their bodies and legs to the fast beat... Different colors of dresses and mask were hardly recognized in the disco lights, but some recognized their friends as they had gone shopping together or have shown their dress to each other before wearing it for the night...

As all were from same collage, they were dancing with everyone and anyone that come face to face in the dance floor... Teachers were around to keep an eye to everyone as they don't want anything happen among the students which may be a problem or face a problem by their bad behavior... So few try to flirts with the girls but no one dare to make a move knowing they would end up in problem and might be kick out for the best to the collage...

After fast numbers, it started to play slow romantic numbers... Boys and girls make couple as they keep exchanging their partners with each other with every song changing... Riddhima was in the dance floor enjoying with her friends being the dancing freak, she drag her friends not caring about them denying...
On the other hand, Armaan was drag in to the dance floor by his friends as he had been sitting near the drink counter not wanting to dance... He had been politely denying to each and every girl who had come asking for a dance but when his friends drag him, he couldn't protest knowing if he don't dance, they wouldn't leave him for rest of the night...

As the partner was changing, unknown to each other Armaan and Riddhima came face to face... Their face was cover with the mask but which caught them was their orbs which was different shades of color... That moment, a perfect song started to play making both drown in to each other eyes... Don't know why but they felt it was so perfect for them...

AANKHON MEIN TERI FROM OM SHANTI OM

Aankhon mein teri...
Ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Ho...
ankhon mein teri...
ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Dil ko bana dein jo patang
Saansein ye teri vo hawaayein hain
(Lost in each other eyes, Armaan and Riddhima was dancing to the tune... Armaan one hand was holding Riddhima soft palm while his other hand rest on Riddhima slim waist... Riddhima free hand was on his hard chest as they wasn't aware of their surrounding...)

Aankhon mein teri...
Ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Ho...
ankhon mein teri...
ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Dil ko bana dein jo patang
Saansein ye teri vo hawaayein hain
(Riddhima was shocked to feel so much comfort in this stranger arms, where else Armaan had a warm feeling in his heart to hold this pretty mask girl in his arms... Don't know why but both were feeling a connection between each other as they try to recognized those eyes to know if they know each other or not...)

Aayi aisi raat hai jo
Bohat khush-naseeb hai
Chaahe jisse door se duniya
Vo mere kareeb hai
(Armaan eyes were admiring her face features as he try to recognized who it might be... He was wondering if he knows her or not... If anything which caught and make his heart miss a beat was those gorgeous orbs.. He was wishing that her face wasn't cover behind those mask as he wanted to see her whole face...)
Kitna kuch kehna hai
Fir bhi hai dil mein sawaal kaheen
Sapnon mein jo roz kaha hai
wo phir se kahun Ya nahee
(While Armaan was busy admiring her, Riddhima was doing the same... She was really hard trying to recognized those gorgeous eyes and handsome face but sadly it was cover behind the mask... Riddhima try to ask him several time but, seeing his intense gaze not leaving for a second, she felt her mouth going dry...)

Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Ho...
ankhon mein teri
ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Dil ko bana dein jo patang
Saansein ye teri vo hawaayein hain
(Armaan saw her opening her mouth several time to speak but no words were coming out from ther mouth... As music was loud and people around them was talking which was mixed with the music wouldn't make anything clear if she speak or not... Even Armaan wanted to ask her name but he was too lost in those orbs, he didn't find any word...)

Tere saath saath aisa
Koi noor aaya hai
Chaand teri raushni ka
Halka sa ik sayaa hai
(As they continue dancing, Armaan put her other hand on his chest still not leaving her hand... Riddhima felt an unkown current pass in her spine making her shiver feeling his hard chest... She was too lost all this while to feel his hard chest, she move her gaze away from his orbs looking at his body which was perfectly built... Riddhima gape when suddenly Armaan pull her as close as he could making her look back in his eyes...)
Teri nazron ne dil ka kiya jo hasharr
Asarr ye hua
Ab inmein hi doobke ho jaaun paar
Yehi hai dua
(Armaan smile seeing his effect on her, when he put her hand on his chest he saw her lowering her eyelash looking at his chest which was visible through the shirt he was wearing as its first three buttons were left open... Armaan didn't like her to look anywhere else other then his eyes as he was trying to know how much their closeness were affecting her... Armaan pull her as close as he could making her look back in his eyes, he heard a small gape from Riddhima mouth with the sudden pull...)

Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Ho...
ankhon mein teri
ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Dil ko bana dein jo patang
Saansein ye teri vo hawaayein hain
(Lost in each other eyes in whole song, Armaan and Riddhima was unaware of many eyes witness their dance... As the song end, Armaan try to hold her not changing his partner but one of her friend came asking politely that if she can borrow her for a second... Armaan let go off her not knowing who she was, before he could go after them his friends came dragging him out from the dance floor...)

Riddhima left with her friends as they had to reach home before midnight, Armaan who was with her friends excuse and search the hall hoping to get a glimpse of the girl as he could recognized her by the mask she was wearing but to his bad luck, he wouldn't find her...
Where else Riddhima was thinking who that guy was but she couldn't get information about him as no one from her friend zone know that guy as they recognized their friends by their mask and cloths... Knowing there was no way of getting to know who that guy was, Riddhima left with her friends...

FLASH BACK END

Armaan and Riddhima trace was broke hearing Muskaan calling Riddhima, she look at Armaan who was lost in his own land... Riddhima took the mask and kept it were she had kept it before, she check the drawers to check if Armaan has disarrange anything while searching whatever he was in awhile ago... She was glad that everything was order not if she had to arrange everything and she was too tired to do that as she has to help Muskaan making dinner...
'Armaan, coffee cold hogaye... Main dusra bhijwaun tumhare liyeh...' Riddhima asked...
'Hah??? Nehi, mera mann nehi hai abhi... Waise bhi tohdi der mein dinner karna haina... I will be ok...' Armaan said...
'If you say so no problem but Armaan... Stop searching everywhere in the room if u r still trying to find a clue about the party... You can't get any information before hand...' Riddhima said...
'Tumhe kaise pata main...' Armaan asked looking at Riddhima...
'Armaan, its not first time I had seen u searching the room or hall... Common yaar, trust a little to ur wife and bhabhi...' Riddhima said...
'I do trust you Riddhima, as much as with my life...' Armaan said...

Riddhima who was about to leave the room with the coffee cups stop on her step hearing Armaan words... Armaan always says such things which has a deep meaning... Riddhima knows Armaan was trying to hint something to her but what, she wasn't able to understand...
All those words from Armaan, make Riddhima think that if Armaan has started to develop a new feelings for her or not... Was Armaan hinting that he wanted to take next step of their life to another level... Riddhima just wish, wish Armaan would clearly tell her what those words mean...

Where else, Armaan stood looking Riddhima figure which was showing her back towards him... He was hoping one day Riddhima would ask him about those deep words he was speaking to her but it seems she was still fighting herself to understand what it really means...
Armaan was all set to pour his heart in front of her the day she come in front of him and clearly ask what those words means... He just wanted to know if she wants to know about those words because she feels something towards him hearing those words...

Riddhima turn around to face Armaan, who was hoping today Riddhima would asked him but again Muskaan call her and she left looking at him one more time before stepping out from the room... Armaan sign and ruffle his hair not understanding how to tell her what he really feels for her... It was getting very difficult for Armaan to see her so close to him every day...
True they didn't share any physical relation till now but they share one bed without any barrier in between them... Sometimes Armaan wake up before her just to admire her sleeping so peacefully like a small kid... He knows Riddhima do the same if she wakes up before him...

Armaan sit on the bed hiding his face on his palm, he was thinking how to tell Riddhima his feeling... Remembering the day he share with Riddhima in the prom as now he was sure that the girl was Riddhima, an idea came to his mind... Smile form in his lips knowing it would be the best day to confess his love to her...
'Yes, now nothing can stop me from confessing my love to you Riddhima... I know even u felt something for me that night in prom and the first meeting after years in Valentine day party in cruise... Its time to let u know, with whom u dance on that night in prom but let me give a sweet surprise darling... I know u love me too but, soon I would make you say those words to me... Its a promise by Armaan Mallik...' Armaan said as his smile got wide with his dimples dig in his cheeks...

A WEEK LATER

Finally, it was the day and everyone was waiting to see the arrangement two Mallik daughter in law has done for the Valentine party... Still they didn't get any information about the arrangement they had done for the party but that day, they got to see the cloths which they would be wearing for the party...
As Muskaan and Riddhima left to see the last minute arrangement, leaving notes to every other Mallik along with Nandini to whom they didn't tell the actual arrangement they had make for the party... It was decided like all other years that this time also, they would be having party in cruise...

Riddhima and Muskaan has send the invitations to all, this time Shashank and Smriti couldn't come as Shashank had a project to complete in a week time and still he has so much work to do... Smriti wasn't ready to leave Shashank alone for a day even so they said they would try to come and spend sometimes with them as soon as Shashank get free from this project he was handling now...

Neither Riddhima and Muskaan was happy as it was the first time being daughter in law of Mallik, they had taken a huge responsible and Riddhima parent's wouldn't be able to attend it but somehow, Nandini and Karan make them understand that if Shashank work wasn't that important, he would surely had come with Smriti... Riddhima and Muskaan agree when Shashank promise them that they would soon come to meet and spend times with them for whole two weeks... Usually they come for a week but this time, they wanted to spend some more time with their daughter's...

So now, it was time for the Mallik's to leave for the party... They didn't know which harbor the cruise was as Riddhima and Muskaan didn't give invitation card to them... After getting ready, they all move to the hall hoping to see Riddhima and Muskaan back from palor but driver came inside saying the car was ready to take them all to their destination...
Karan and Nandini took one car while Armaan and Rahul follow them in Rahul car... Armaan call Riddhima asking where they were, she inform that they were already in the cruise waiting for them as guest would start to arrived in half an hour... Armaan ask the exact location but Riddhima just said to follow Karan and Nandini car as they cut the call laughing knowing how much irriate they would be...

After twenty minutes, they reach to their destination... They were surprise to see the cruise beautifully decorated with different color of roses and heart shape red fairy lights... Two guards came to lead them inside, when they move inside they were welcome by Riddhima and Muskaan...
Gents were wearing three piece suits while Nandini wearing a saree matching to Karan shirt color... Riddhima and Muskaan also was wearing saree to match their husband shirt color, their blouse was sleeveless with a deep neck from back... Their hair was hold in a bun with some hair falling, light make up to match their dress as neither of them wear much jewelry other than earrings and bracelet on their hand with engagement ring...

Armaan and Rahul were lost in their wives while Karan and Nandini admire the arrangement done by their two daughter in law... Red carpet was on the walk path which was leading up to the open air area where the party was arrange for the night... Pool side was make as dance floor as it was shut with red color lights on giving a beautiful shade to the water in the pool... DJ was already playing soft romantic songs... No disco lights as they hand cover all the pillars with fairy heart shape red color lights... Railings were decorated with roses, tables and chairs kept one side with the buffet counter... Not far, bar was kept with different kind of drinks available...

Karan and Nandini love the arrangement and was complimenting them for the awesome work they had done... As the manager came to inform that Guest has started to arrive, Karan and Nandini left leaving Armaan and Rahul with Riddhima and Muskaan...
Riddhima and Muskaan look at their husband seeing them lost in them, they laugh as it was their plan to make their husband go flat over them tonight so they wouldn't be daring to look any other girl... They cough bringing Armaan and Rahul out from their lala land who got embarrased to get caught red handed while checking them...
'So how the decoration guys???' Muskaan asked...
'Well actually...' Rahul said looking around for the first time his surrounding and again move his gaze back to Muskaan...
'Pretty...' Armaan said looking back to Riddhima as he too look around but soon his eyes move back to Riddhima...
'Yeah, very much sizzling...' Rahul said winking at Muskaan...
'Guys, stop drooling over us... We know we are hot and sizzling , cut the crap and say who is the decoration...' Riddhima said rolling eyes...
'Who is talking about u both, we are talking about the decoration... Right Rahul...' Armaan said smirking...
'Right Brother In law, thats why ur eyes are still focus on us...' Muskaan said...
'Ab Dad aur Mom itna khush hai arrangement koh dekh ke... Hum kuch bolne ke himmat kaise kar sakte hai right Armaan...' Rahul said...
'Oh so u guys accept you lost the challenge haan...' Muskaan said...
'What challenge, there was no challenge...' Armaan said...
'Look whose talking now... You should be glad that humne koi bet nehi rakka..' Riddhima said...
'Common Ridzy, just dad and mom like it... Abhi dekhte hai guest ka kiya khayal hai... If they say this is the best party thrown by the Mallik so far, we would let you girls arrange every single function...' Rahul said...
'Is that a promise???' Riddhima asked...
'Of course it is, aise toh humhare bhi tohda responsibilities kam hojanege...' Armaan said giving a hi5 to Rahul...
'Ahaan, what if we get to plan... We will make sure u both work as much as we do in every occasion...' Muskaan said...
'Done but if you won this challenge, nehi toh it would be the other way... We will plan and u both will do all the work...' Rahul said...
'Accepted...' Muskaan said...
'Cool, dekkhte hai humse behtar arrangement tum dono ke ki hai ya nehi...' Armaan said...
'Dekh lena...' Riddhima said as they all move to attend the guests...

In an hour, all the guest have reach... Everything was going perfectly well till now... To Armaan and Rahul surprise, people can't stop praising about the arrangement the girls has done for the night... This time, elders and youngster were together... All were enjoying and whoever met any Mallik was praising again and again for every single arrangement done...

Armaan and Rahul notice that every single gents was wearing three piece suits while the ladies and girls were wearing saree of different shade of red, pink, white and yellow... Riddhima was wearing red, Muskaan was wearing pink and Nandini was wearing yellow saree with white blouse and design done in their saree... They just realized they were wearing matching color shirt to their wives saree making how amaze it was looking as all the combination was really nice to be seen in one place...

Finally when the cruise left the harbor to start the party for the night, everyone got busy enjoying to the fullest they could as Mallik's party always rock every year... Elder couples were also enjoying dancing with the young couples, some where just watching them while others were talking trying to catch up the people they know and meet after sometimes...
Armaan and Riddhima's friends gang were also present, they all were admiring and praising for the arrangement which make Muskaan and Riddhima proud and give smirk looks to Armaan and Rahul who just was ignoring them knowing they already had won the challenge with fair comments by the guests...

Gang notice that Rahul and Armaan being quite, so they ask Riddhima and Muskaan what happen who tell them laughing how Armaan and Rahul had challenge them and they won... Gang laugh at Rahul and Armaan for challenging the girl as all agree that when Riddhima and Muskaan is together, no one can beat them...
'Tum dono bhi na, haar ne ke liyeh isse accha challenge nehi mila...' Abhi said...
'Seriously dude, yeh dono hamesha se hi collage ke time se jo bhi karte hai, sabke dil jeet leti hai...' Atul said...
'I agree yaar, atleast humse toh poochliya hota...' Nikki said...
'Oh god Rahul, Armaan... Kitni buri tarah tum dono haar gaye apne biwiyon se...' Anjali said laughing...
'Arey, ab humein kiya pata aisa hoga...' Rahul said...
'Accha, maine pehle bhi tujhe bataya ta Rahul... Jab bhi main aur Ridzy saath hote hai toh koi humein hara nehi sakte...' Muskaan said...
'Woh toh pehle ki baat ti na... Ab bohot kuch badhal gaye hai...' Rahul said...
'Zyada kuch nehi badla Rahul, humhare rishte ki naam zarur badla hai lekin hum dono toh abhi bhi wohi haina...' Riddhima said...
'Ab chodo, tik haina tum dono jeet gaye... Ab saara tension tum dono koh lena hai, hum bas araam karenge...' Armaan said...
'Not so soon Armaan, bhul gaye toh yaad dilaun... Plan hum karenge lekin saara kaam tum dono karenge...' Muskaan said...
'Means tum dono apne biwiyon ke ungliyon pe naachenge...' Abhi said laughing...
'Maltab toh yehi haina, yeh dono plan karenge and yeh dono kaam...' Atul said joining Abhi...
'Wow, it would be sight to watch...' Nikki said joining them with Anjali...
'Seriously guys, tum dono toh biwiyon ke gulam bangaye...' Anjali said...
'Biwiyon koh help karne ka matlab yeh nehi haina hum gulam banjaenge... Its team work right ladies...' Rahul said...
'Why not Rahul, but still we will be the boss and u will be our salve...' Muskaan said laughing...
'Tch tch, aaya humse challenge karne... Bechare dono phas gaye pure zindagi...' Riddhima said hi5ing with Muskaan...
'Tik hai tik hai... Humein koi problem nehi hai... Hum karlenge, phir dekhne wale kahenge... Dekho yeh dono apne biwiyon se kitna pyar karte hai...' Rahul said...
'Aur nehi toh kiya, humein bhi toh kuch credit milenge...' Armaan said...
'Tera toh tik hai Rahul, lekin Armaan kiya sach mein log tumhare baare mein aisa kahenge...' Atul asked...

Armaan and Riddhima stop hearing Atul words, as they know they haven't still confess to each other but somehow now they have realized love to each other, they thought it would be the best if they try to make them confess one day... At least make one of them take first step towards the other... Riddhima look at Armaan, thinking this time he would say something but to their bad luck, Nandini call Muskaan and Riddhima asking to come over as she wanted to introduce them to some of her friends...

When they were out from their sight, everyone look at Armaan who was looking at the direction where Riddhima went... Armaan look at them feeling everyone eyes on him... He asked through his eyes what happen as he know what those looks were mean to be...
'Don't act that u don't understand what our looks mean buddy...' Abhi said...
'I don't know what is it...' Armaan said...
'Kab tak bhaagenge Armaan, sabko dikh raha hai tum dono ke dil mein kiya hai..' Anjali said...
'Kiya bol rahe ho tum log, mujhe kuch samajh nehi aaraha...' Armaan said...
'Samajh toh tujhe aaraha hai Armaan, its the best time to let her know how much she means to u...' Nikki said...

Armaan knows there was no way that he could save himself from their questions, he wasn't going to tell them anything before he confess to Riddhima but he knows he would need their help if he is going to confess his feelings for her... Also he wants to do it alone, no one else to disturb them...
So thinking for sometimes, he look at them as they were waiting for him to finally accept his love to her... Leaving a deep breath, Armaan finally accept his feelings for Riddhima... Also before they could ask when and how he was going to confess her, Armaan share his plan with them asking them to help him to succeed the mission...

TWO HOURS LATER

As now the gang knows about Armaan plan, it was time to act... Armaan ask Rahul to handle their parent knowing they would be asking about him and Riddhima once they leave... Also Muskaan was still unaware of the plan as they thought it would be best for now nothing to be said to her as she might being excited blabber in front of Riddhima...
They all were enjoying dancing with their partners, like fifteen minutes ago Armaan excuse saying he needs to check in how many minutes they would be back to the City... Riddhima also let him go without questioning more, she joins their friends who were now resting after dancing hours...

Everyone got msg from Armaan reminding that it was time for action... Nikki was to take Riddhima out from the crowd while Rahul would take care of Muskaan first then their parents when they reach back as they all would be expecting Armaan and Riddhima to be there to bid bye...
'Ridzy, chalo na mere saath...' Nikki said dragging Riddhima out...
'Niks, kaha jaana hai tumhe abhi...' Riddhima asked...
'Common Ridzy... Sabke saamne toh nehi bol sakti na main...' Nikki said...
'Kiya nehi bol sakte???' Riddhima asked...
'Actually mujhe kissi koh milwana hai tumse...' Nikki said...
'Kisse...' Riddhima asked as they took the lift to go down floor as the cruise has five floor including the upper open area...
'Koi hai jo tumse milna chahta hai...' Nikki said...
'Koan...' Riddhima asked confused as why that person can't meet her in front of others...
'Tum khud hi dekhlo...' Nikki said as they came out to the open area of the fifth floor...

Riddhima look around to see the stairs to lead people move out from the cruise was open as a Yatch was close to it... One of the guard was standing waiting for Riddhima to climb down... Riddhima look at Nikki who asked through her eyes to move on, thinking who might the person is Riddhima move ahead while Nikki follow her...
When Riddhima was in the yatch safely, she look around to see Nikki waving bye to her... Riddhima was shocked to see the yatch sail away from the cruise, she was wondering why Nikki didn't come with her and let her alone with that unknown person who she don't know about anything...

Riddhima heart started to beat fast as she look around the Yatch which has a cabin, it was decorated with red roses and curtains on the railing... Rose petals were on the floor while dim light was on from every corner... Riddhima was wondering what will happen now as she saw cabin door open and a figure move out... Riddhima felt her breath got stuck as the person move out holding a guitar, some tune was playing which Riddhima recognized soon... Person came in to the light but still Riddhima wouldn't recognized other then the person is a guy as he wore a shirt and trousers...

PEHLI NAZAR MEIN FROM RACE

Pehli nazar mein
Kaise jaado kar diya
Tera ban baita hai
Mera jiya
Jaane kya hoga
Kya hoga kya pata
Is pal ko milke
Aa jee le zara
(Guy move towards Riddhima as Riddhima stood holding her breath trying to see his face... As he come out to the dim light. Riddhima saw his face was hide behind a mask... The moment Riddhima eyes met with those eyes behind the mask, Riddhima feel she has seen those orbs from somewhere long before... She look at the mask which seems like familiar, it didn't take much time for her to remember where she had seen it...)

Mein hoon yahan
Tu hai yahan
(Guy leave the guitar and pointed towards him and then to Riddhima, Riddhima just stood not understanding how to react as she never thought after years, this guy would be coming in front of her...)
Meri bahon mein aa
Aa bhi ja
O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa
(He open his arms, asking her to come in to his arms... Riddhima just stood on her step not knowing how to react... She was thinking how on earth this person was in this yatch and want to meet her after years...)

O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa

Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you, baby i love you ... so..
Baby i love u
(Seeing Riddhima not reacting, the guy let his hand fall as he move his one hand on the mask taking it off showing his face to Riddhima... Riddhima who already was so shocked to see those gorgeous orbs guy in front of her after years, felt like she miss a beat finally sawing who this mystery guy was...)
Oh i love u
I love u
I love u so
Baby i love u
(The moment she saw his face, only one name came out from her mouth... 'ARMAAN'
Yes, it was none other then Armaan, who arrange all this for his love... Finally he was confessing his love for her by singing this song...)

Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein
(Armaan move close to her, Riddhima cover her mouth with her palm not being able to believe her eyes... She had dream about those orbs for eyes but again after years, she get to meet the guy of those gorgeous eyes... She never realized all these days, she was living with him sharing a strong bond with this man who she used to dream...)

Har dua mein shamil tera pyaar hai
Bin tere lamha bhi dushwar hai
Dhadhkon ko tujhe se hi darkar hai
Tujhse hai rahtein
Tujhse hai chahtein

Tu jo mili ek din mujhe
Mein kahin ho gaya lapata
(Armaan forward his hand to Riddhima who gladly accept, soon both were dancing to the tune as Riddhima laugh realizing they had already met when they were in collage and never know this before... Armaan smile wasn't leaving seeing Riddhima laughing, her smile was reaching to her eyes which was sparkling in this beautiful night...)

(O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa ) ... 2

(Kar diya Deewana dard-e-Kash ne
Chain cheena isqh ke ehsaas ne
Bekhayali di hai tere pyaas ne
Chaya suroor hai
Kuch to zaroor hai) ... 2
(Armaan make her turn around taking rounds, then pull her towards him with her back resting on his chest... He move his hand on her bare arms then holding her hand as he rest it on her lower belly... Riddhima close her eyes feeling Armaan hot breath caring her bare shoulder, both were enjoying the closeness as they move to the music...)

Yeh dooriyan
Jeene na de
Hal mera tujhe na pata
(Armaan turn her suddenly pulling her close to him without letting a single space between them... Riddhima gape feeling Armaan hard chest touching her soft ones... Each other breath was caring their face as their heart beat started to rise every passing second... Their eyes were closed as their face were inch away...)

(O jaan-e-jaan
Dono jahan
Meri bahon mein aa
Bhool Ja aa) ... 2

Baby i love u, baby i love you, baby i love you, baby i love you ... so..
(Leaving Riddhima hand, Armaan move his hand cupping her face making Riddhima open her eyes... Looking straight in her eyes, Armaan sang those words.. Riddhima felt he mean it from deep down his heart, she felt her heart beating very fast crashing it on her rib cage... Armaan softly care Riddhima cheeks as if he want her to believe those words making her shiver...)
Baby i love u
Oh i love u
(Moving a little, Armaan sit down on his knee holding Riddhima hand... Armaan kiss her both hand looking up at her again meeting his orbs with her... Now Riddhima was sure that Armaan mean those three words which she was dying to hear from him... Tears started to form in her eyes as her smile got wider thinking the person she loves, loves her back without knowing it...)
Baby I love u
I love u...

Song finished and Armaan still sit in front of her holding her hands... Riddhima stood not understanding what to do or what to say... She wasn't expecting anything sort of this to happen today as a year back, this same date they met as till now they had been unknown they had met before years ago one night in prom...
'Riddhima, I don't have a speech to tell you what I feel for you... I hope through this song, I have pour my heart in front of you... I know it would be little difficult to believe as even I don't know when and how this happen... I always has this unknowing feeling and connection between us the day we met a year ago...
Maybe it was the reason why I couldn't deny to marry you, as deep down from my heart... I accept that only I owe you and you owe me as right owners of each other heart... These words are very simple yet very much strong and has a deep meaning...
I LOVE YOU WIFE, MY LIFE...
I PROMISE TO LOVE U TODAY, TOMORROW AND REST OF OUR LIFE TILL ETERNITY...
WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE FOR ETERNITY???' Armaan asked pulling her hands resting it on his chest close to his heart...

Tonight, there has no bond of happiness for Riddhima... She felt that everything got complete hearing the person who she love, confess his love to her... Maybe she took time to realized the true meaning of their relation but she was so glad that she agree to make him a part of her life that no one could take the place ever...
'You stupid, u idiot... How could you do this...' Riddhima said pulling her hands out from his hold...

Armaan was surprise with her reaction as he knows she also loves him as much as he loves her but when Riddhima said those words, things wasn't turning up the way Armaan wish... He stood up looking at her, trying to understand what she mean by that... Happiness were sparkling in her eyes with little tears, smile was on her lips then what does she mean by that...
'Tumne socha bhi kaise, tumne bola aur main maanungi...' Riddhima said trying her best to hold her tears...
'Riddhima, I thought u also...' Armaan was cut by Riddhima...
'I also what Armaan, I also what... Tumne I love you bolke propose karenge toh main bhi haan kehdungi... Yehi sochana tumne??? Then Mr. Armaan Mallik, u r very very...' Riddhima stop not completing her words...

Armaan stood looking at her with sad eyes, her face color drain seeing Riddhima reaction after his confession... For a moment, he thought he lost everything as he didn't think how she would react if she didn't feel anything for him like he do...
'Right...' Riddhima said...
Armaan who just lower his head thinking Riddhima would say how wrong he was, shot his head up looking at Riddhima who was smiling showing her million dollar smile... It took sometimes for Armaan to believe what he heard but he was sure when he felt Riddhima pity figure hugging his hard board one...
'I love you so much Armaan, I love you a lot...' Riddhima said confessing her love pouring it out from her heart...
'I love u more Riddhima...' Armaan said hugging her back, hiding his face on her neck...

They stood like that for sometimes, enjoying and feeling the warmness of each other... Riddhima shiver feeling the cold breeze touching her bare arms and back... Armaan break the hug looking at her face, which has a wide smile and only happiness sparkling in her eyes...
'Tumne toh mujhe dara diya...' Armaan said touching his forehead against her...
'You deserve it mister...' Riddhima said giggling...
'Accha, ab toh punishment milenge mujhe mini heart attack dene ke liyeh...' Armaan said...
'I m all yours baby...' Riddhima said naughtily...
'Ahaan, so ready for the punishment sweetheart...' Armaan asked caring her cheek...
'Armaan...' Riddhima said as she shiver feeling Armaan touch...

Armaan look deep in her orbs, which has been coming in her dreams years ago... He just wanted to drown in those eyes as now he knows whom it belongs... He move his eyes on her face features, admiring how beautiful she was looking under the moonlight... He slowly move his thumb near her lower lips, making her close her eyes inviting him as she parted her lips... Armaan smile seeing how much effect his one touch has on her, not waiting he smash his lips on hers taking her in to a frenzy kiss...

As they kiss, their hands started to explore each other body... Now they know what other feels, they don't want to wait for another day to name each other soul as one... Soon their cloths were laying on the floor as they become one in all sense with the moon and star witnessing their pure love... It was a date to be mark as two lovers become soulmates...

3 YEARS LATER 

Music was blasting as the place was crowded, people were dancing while other were enjoying drinking... As rock numbers were playing by the DJ, youngster was having a joyful time with their partners while some with their friends... Elders were watching the fun, while some move to their beat to join the music... Some where just having conversation as every single person enjoy the party...

A guy who was wearing a red design shirt and black jeans enter the floor to see disco light flashing while it was making difficult to see each other face from distance... He move further inside, searching for someone as he was stop by a group of six...
'Kiya huva Hero, phirse Ridzy koh dhund rahe ho...' Girl asked who was wearing a saree...
'Haan Muski, pata nhi yeh ladki kaha gayab hojate hai...' Hero said...
'Hogi yehin kahin Armaan... Maine last mein usko mom ke saath dekha...' Guy said who was wearing a light red shirt with brown jeans...
'Main abhi mom se milke aaya hoon Rahul, woh uske saath nehi hai... Na dad ya, papa ma ke saath hai...' Armaan said...
'Pareshan kyun ho rahe ho, miljaenge...' Girl who was wearing a evening gown said...
'Niks, u very well know why I m worried... Woh ladki kahin pe bhi shuru hojate hai if music is playing...' Armaan said...
'We know but don't know, woh tik hoga... She will take care of herself, she is not a kid anymore...' Girl who was wearing a evening dress said...
'Sabko pata hai woh kitni acchi se apna dyan rakhte hai... Tum log koh help nehi karna hai toh mat kar, mujhe pata hai woh kaha milenge...' Armaan said moving away in to the crowd...
'Ridz toh gaye, Armaan will not leave her...' Guy who was wearing dark maroon shirt and cream trousers said...
'Yeh toh tumne bilkul sahi kaha Atul, ab pata nehi kiya tamasha karenge yeh dono...' Guy who was wearing maroon shirt and black jeans said...
'Tamasha nehi karenge Abhi, kyunki Riddhima koh pta hai kaise Armaan ka gussa ek minute mein gayab karna...' Rahul said...
'Let's see...' Anjali said...

They move behind Armaan to see him going to the dance floor trying to search for Riddhima... They all found Riddhima dancing crazily with some random guy without caring about anyone else... Soon Armaan was standing in front of her who was lost in her own world...
Next moment, Armaan hold her hand and pull her out from the dance floor making way as he push people to sides... Riddhima who was enjoying make a sad pout expression seeing who it was dragging her out from the dance floor... Taking her away from the dance floor, near a empty table Armaan call a waiter who was passing to get a glass of water and juice...

Riddhima sit like a good girl but her expression was still same, Armaan look at her and sign knowing it would be no use to say anything to her about not dancing... Riddhima cross her arms on her chest turning her face to the other side, Armaan sit next to her, taking her hand on his palm...
'Riddhima, kitni baar kaha hai itni fast song pe dance mat karo... Why don't you listen to me...' Armaan asked calmly...
'Armaan Mallik, I m just four months pregnant and nothing would happen as doctor says our baby is healthy... I wasn't dancing that much for u to drag me out every moment I go there...' Riddhima said pouting deeply caring her small baby belly which has just started to show...
'I know baby but, these people wouldn't be careful... What if by mistake anyone hit you sweetheart...' Armaan said...

Riddhima knows he was right as no one would watch while they dance, its not Armaan didn't let her dance to slow song but he was asking to be careful for the sake of their unborn child who means a lot to every single person in their life... After three years of confession, Riddhima was expecting their first child...
Everyone single person in Mallik and Gupta was happy to hear this news... From that day, each and everyone was taking a good care of Riddhima... Nandini ask Armaan to give her off till her maternity... However, they let her visit office and let her observe her classes and students...

From all, Armaan was the most over protect person... Riddhima sometimes feels so much irritation that she end up fighting with him... Armaan wouldn't drag the fight, as he always do whatever he feel is good for her and their baby... In last three years, Armaan and Rididhima has reach up to the top of the world... Success were kissing on their feet, as they were getting many project from all over the country and world...
Even Rahul took their company to high position in business flied, Mallik's were always on the first position from last three years all thanks to Rahul hard work... They all were living happily, Rahul and Muskaan was bless with a baby boy a year ago and now Riddhima was expecting another member to add in the family...

Armaan and Riddhima friends also get settle down but no one had a kid other then Rahul and Muskaan... Today, everyone was gethering to the Valentine party which was throwing by Mallik like every year... Everyone was enjoying, admiring the bonding each other... Armaan and Riddhima was always the main couple who people admire the most whenever they see them togehter...

Being richest people and famous people, Riddhima expecting her first child was all around the media... Everyone was happy for the couple who is ready to welcome their first love bud... So seeing Armaan taking extra care of Riddhima tonight in the party, no one was surprise...
'Stop it Armaan, I m full...' Riddhima said pushing the half drink juice glass...
'Riddhima, stop being a kid and finish it...' Armaan said...
'Kitna pilaenge, khilaenge Armaan... Already teen juice le liya maine aur acche se khana bhi khaya...' Riddhima said not so happy with Armaan...
'Haan toh peena chahiyeh, u r not one now...' Armaan said...
'Are you trying to say I m double as if I m fat...' Riddhima asked glaring at him...
'Maine aisa kab kaha, I just said now another life is inside you... U should eat for two people sweetheart...' Armaan said...
'Bas ab aur nehi, nehi toh main saara kuch throw karungi...' Riddhima said pushing the glass away...
'Juice nehi piyenge toh energy kaise milenge, energy nehi milenge toh dance kaise karenge...' Armaan asked...
'I have already energy Armaan, don't dare try to make me have that juice...' Rididhima said...
'Ok fine, but paani toh peelo tohda sa...' Armaan said...

Making faces, Riddhima took two three sip from the water glass... As Armaan promise her after having half of the juice, he would go and dance with her... To keep her promise, he took her to the dance floor... Now it was playing soft romantic song so they started to dance moving to the slow beat...
'Pata hai Riddhima, main yehi sochta hoon agar tum saath nehi hote toh main kaha hota...' Armaan said looking at Riddhima glowing face...
'Ab kyun soch rahe ho Armaan, hum saath haina... Aur hum nehi milte toh hum saath kaise rahenge... Lekin bhagwan ne humhare milna hi likha ta issiliyeh hum aaj saath hai... Aur hum saath hai toh issiliyeh hai kyunki we are mean to be together...' Riddhima said...
'Aur jo kuch bhi hum hai aaj, woh sirf issiliyeh kyunki tum saath ho...' Armaan said touching his forehead against her...
'Main nehi, hum saath hai... Hamesha and Forever...' Riddhima said kissing his nose tip...

Armaan and Riddhima was moving to the music, smiling with their best smile as they were again going to start another journey together... It was just a small glimpse of their story, who they met, become friends and end up being life partner and soulmates... Soon they are going to be proud parents of small little baby or babies, who soon would grow older to understand the friendship and love their parents share...
