Chapter 26 • I Love You Dammit!
Riddhima Gupta's P.O.V
"He is Arjun Jocker, your fiancé!" Rahul said smilingly while Arjun gave me a smirk.
What the actual fudge?
I don't remember getting engaged or something! I looked at them confusingly and then at my hand. The ring was there, but the one that Armaan accidentally put on my finger at the ring shop.
"I mean your fake fiancé! 'cuz Muskaan told Armaan that you were engaged remember?" Rahul blurted out as he understood my confused expression.
Before any of them can reply, my phone beeped and I went to take it. It was a message from Armaan's sister Priya.
'Today, Armaan, Neha, Nikhil and I are going out for lunch, I want to invite you and your fiancé, and Rahul/Muskaan also!' -Priya
"Oh sweet! Priya invited us for lunch!" We all turned around to see Muskaan walking out of the room in shorts and a baggy shirt. Her hair were messed up like she never brushed them.
"I'm not going!" I said crossing my arms and giving them all a stern look.
"Ofcourse you are! Its show time!" Arjun, a.k.a butthole, I try not to swear! Heeheheheh, said with a smirk.
I shot him a glare and looked at Muskaan and Rahul with confusion. The trio looked at eachother and smiled evilly.
Oookaaayyyyy.....
What is cooking in their brain?
Suddenly, I was being pushed inside Muskaan's bedroom. Arjun and Rahul were smilingly waving at making me squint my eyes in confusion. Are they crazy? Do I need to make an appoint with the psychiatrist? Or call the Mental Asylum?
I was sat on the chair in front of her dress while she disappeared into her walk-in closet. My brain was spinning in 360° right now because of confusion.
She came back, with her Makeup bags and a straightener.
"What is happening do you care to explain?" I asked standing up, but she kept mum and pushed me back on the stool in front of her dresser.
Suddenly, I felt my something cold pressed against my lips. I tried to speak but my lips were jammed together. I frowned and touched my face feeling something plastic. I turned towards the mirror and looked at myself.
MY MOUTH WAS TAPED.
****************************
After two hours of sitting still and dolling up, I was finally set free. Muskaan gave me a dress to wear for lunch. I was now all dressed up. Muskaan had done my makeup and hair.
I was wearing a beautiful knee-length rich blood-red dress. It was a cap sleeve dress which was made of silk. Matching my dress, I wore red heels, with a golden bracelet on my right wrist. I was wearing a gold pendant which I always wear because it is my mom's.
My hair were till my mid-waist. They were neatly straightened with the straightener. My bangs were set aside lightly with bobby pins.
Since it was a lunch we were going to, I requested Muskaan not go over board with the makeup, so she just did a thin winged line with a black eyeliner and for the lips she used a light nude lip gloss.
"Aren't you looking smoking hot!" Muskaan said coming out of the closet after changing. She was wearing a beige knee-length dress which was not too skin tight. She had started wearing baggy and loose clothes because her stomach had started to show lightly.
"Muski, it is just lunch and we're dressed like we're going to some bachelorette or some prom party." I whined. I felt so over dressed right now. Not that I didn't like dressing up. In fact I loved dressing up. Its just I'm feeling really nervous seeing Armaan, after last night.
"Oh shut it!" She said and took her bag dragging me outside.
******************************
"Oh my god!!! You both look stunning!!!" Priya cooed and engulfed us in a warm hug. I looked at Armaan who just looked away as if he was caught red-handed ogling at me.
Huh! Why would he ogle at me? His fiancé is standing right next to me.
Talking about his fiancé. I thought I was over dressed, but looking at her, made me think if I had dressed well enough.
She was wearing a really short neon pink—eye stinging pink dress. The dress was shamelessly flaunting her long legs. Her face was caked up with hell-a lot of makeup. And by a lot I mean A LOT! I mean I do heavy party makeup but she had just like dipped her fave in liquid foundation that didn't even was the right one for her skin tone.
Did this girl even know how to do makeup?
"Hey!" Armaan said coming towards me. My heartbeat went from normal to the highest level. He hugged me, surprising, making my knees weaken. " friend" he whispered making my hopes shatter in a second.
Right.
We're friends!
Just friends!
Soon we parted away, and went in the restaurant. The restaurant was inside one of the Mallik hotels. I could still feel the heat, on my cheeks.
We sat on a eight seater table, Muskaan on my right, while Rahul sat on her left. Armaan was sitting right in front of me, while Neha sat on his right, and Priya sat on his left in front of Muskaan. Nikhil was sitting next to Priya, in front of Rahul. There was an empty spot left on my left, in front of Neha.
"So where is you Mr. Right Riddhima?" Priya asked in a teasing voice winking at me, while Rahul and Nikhil laughed. Neha rolled her eyes and Muskaan glared at her. Lastly, I looked at Armaan, who had his hand clenched on the table while his fave had no expression or emotion of any sort.
"I...Ah...He..." I tried to make up some excuse averting my gaze towards Priya but no words were coming out of my mouth. When we sat in the car, Rahul had told us that Arjun had to go somewhere for and important emergency and I didn't question further as I don't give a damn about that retard.
"Did he chicken out -t the last moment?" Armaan asked with a cocky smirk plastered on his face. I felt like punching him on his fave right now.
How could he?
How could he get engaged to someone else? How could he kiss me and then put a ring on some other girl's finger! How could he force me to live with him and the marry someone else.
I was brought back from my chain of thoughts as I felt a sloppy kiss on my cheek. All this while I was looking at Armaan. Crap!
"Sorry I'm late!" Arjun said and kissed my cheek again.
"Hey beautiful!" He whispered to me. I stared at him and then at Armaan who had clenched his jaw.
"Oh Hey baby!" I said and kissed his cheek. You wanna go Armaan? I'll play this game better than you!
"Guys this is my fiancé, Arjun Jocker!" I smiled encircling my arm with his and I rested my head on his shoulder.
Soon everybody started talking. Mostly, asking Arjun and Me how we met and all. He made up a stupid story on how, we were together in high school, but I moved to New York, and he was left in Buffalo. And then, how I met him two weeks ago in Buffalo while I was there to meet my maternal family and the he proposed me.
******************************
After having dinner, they were serving desserts. I was feeling suffocated in there so I excused myself and came outside in the garden area of the Mallik hotels.
"Congratulations!" I turned around to see Armaan walking towards me with a hand in his pocket. "That ring that you have on your ring finger, looks like deja vù!" He mocked.
Crap!
I forgot to take off the ring that he was trying on my finger the other day when we went ring shopping for Neha. And how could I take the stupid damn ring off when it was stuck?
"You know you're doing a really good job! At BEING A WHORE! You know, flirting with your boss Steve, hugging him, Kissing me, living with me, And then getting engaged to another rich guy. When you saw that I was taken, you went to another rich guy! You're such a GOLD DIGGER WHORE WITH A NAÏVE FACE!" He spat out making my heart stop as if someone had stabbed it with a knife multiple times.
He just didn't call me...
a whore?
Before anything else could happen, my hand met with his cheek.
I slapped him.
I slapped him real hard.
So hard that he feels what he said about me.
"OH NO YOU DIDN'T! I NEVER FLIRTED WITH STEVE, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO FORCED ME TO LIVE WITH YOU, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO KISSED ME FIRST! YOU THREATENED MY DAD'S BUSINESS! STEVE IS GAY, BY THE WAY! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL ME A WHORE! WE'RE NOT IN ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP! AND FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, I'M NOT ENGAGED TO ARJUN! HE IS JUST HERE TO MAKE YOU JEALOUS.....BECAUSE....BECAUSE I LOVE U DAMMIT!" I screamed at him. He had no right to call me a whore!
The next few minutes passed in silence. She just looked shockingly at me. All the colour from his face had drained. I looked at my ring finger and pulled the ring off. It did hurt a lot since it was stuck on my finger but I felt more emotional pain right now than any other! How can I love a man who thinks like this about me!
"I don't need this stupid ring at all!" I took his hand and slammed the ring in his hand.
I turned around to go but I saw Arjun standing with his hands into a fist. He heard everything?
I could feel my face warm from anger, and tears storming down my cheeks. Before this day could get any worse, I ran inside to get my bag and go home right away!
