Part 103 :From The Time I Saw You - An AR FF -

Armaan didn't realized how long he stood just staring at the gift, it wasn't too much but it was something he didn't wish Riddhima to give him... He couldn't help but fall in love with the piece and at the moment, he just wanted to hold his wife and thank her for giving him something which has a beautiful meaning behind it...
Thinking where she must be, leaving him to see the gift, Armaan was sure she would be around because she wouldn't want to miss his expression when he open the gift... As he was about to turn around to search for his darling pregnant wife, he felt a soft hand around his body...
Seeing the delicate hands resting on his chest, his smile got wide very well knowing it was none other than his naughty yet most beautiful wife... He wish to bring her in front of his eyes but Riddhima just rest her chin on his shoulder, leaving a linger kiss behind his earlobe...
'Oyye hoyye, itna pyar...' Armaan asked...
'Hmm, gift kaisa laga...???' Riddhima asked...

Episode 21 : Love Birds (AR ff)

.................................................

Part 21 : Chance Encounter

Riddhima was humming a little tune as she took the lift up to her apartment. She giggled remembering Armaan's expression when she had told him her initial impression of him as a married man with a child. She had purposely made her description sound like that of a middle aged man........Armaan's shocked expression was worth the lie.

"So I make a favourable FOURTH impression?" Armaan had sighed, looking exasperated, "Is that what you are telling me? Gosh, I am losing my touch."

Riddhima didn't correct him. She felt, expressing her true feelings would surely take his super sized ego to bursting limits. Better it got deflated a bit, before she cheered him up.

'Maybe at dinner tonight!' she thought laughing to herself while she fished in her bag for the apartment keys. Riddhima was just about to enter the key in the lock when the door creaked open, seemingly on its own and she was greeted with a most unexpected sight.

Part 6 :The First Kiss 😘

As everyone gathered their belongings and dusted themselves of all the dirt on their clothes, Muskaan said, "Chalo ab ghar chalte hain.... sab log hamaara wait kar rahe hongey, waise bhi Riddhima aur Armaan paani aur mitti mein bilkul sann chukey hain...." She smiled as she saw the state they were in.

As they drove back, Rahul and Muskaan sat in the front seats; Anjali sat in the middle of the back seat with Armaan and Riddhima on either side. Anjali kept leaning towards Armaan and pressing herself against him but Armaan tried to keep a respectable distance from her. He finally put his arm around her, but his long arms could also reach Riddhima sitting in the other corner. He gently caressed Riddhima's ear with his fingers-the same ear he had kissed earlier-as if to remind her how his touch felt. Riddhima tried her best to turn her head away; she was red with anger and clenched her teeth. She could not say or move away too far in that closed space. Muskaan looked back to talk to them and noticed the expression on Riddhima's face, "Kya hua Riddhima? tumhara pair dard karr raha hai kya?"

Episode 20 : Love Birds (AR ff)

Ab tak...

All the Malliks tell Armaan and riddhima that tomorrow, there will be a grand function and they will have to wear good designer clothes and they will have to choose from...

P.S. The day on which they landed itself, All the other friends were informed about their surprise engagement except armaan and riddhima and all are ready for the event to take place...

All the others call armaan and riddhima and ask them to choose their outfits...

Riddhima asks armaan to choose the outfit... where as armaan asks her back for help...

Both of them finally choose the outfits...

Part 20 : Chance Encounter

Riddhima wished she could disappear. Somebody would flick a magic wand and she would vanish into thin air, just like that. However, as she continued to be persistently present, she shut her eyes tight and hoped that  she was atleast having a terrible nightmare. When she'll open her eyes, everything will be alright. She will be lying in her own bed, in her own apartment and for heaven's sake, wearing her own clothes!! She most definitely won't be standing at the door welcoming Anjali into her house wearing her clothes and with no non-embarrassing reason for her presence.

 Moments passed or maybe eons and suddenly a voice cut through her happy thoughts.

"Umm, Armaan," Riddhima heard Atul speak up, "I know the weather is nice and all but don't you think we should all go in? If we are having an open air picnic or something, I'm cool, I'll just go in and keep the bags, Okay?"

Part 102 :From The Time I Saw You - An AR FF -

'Mom...???' Armaan called to get their attention...
'Dad...???' Riddhima said when Ananya didn't react to Armaan...
Seeing their expression, both were sure that they had manage to surprise them to such intension that they were left shocked... Ananya and Billy kept staring at the gift inside the box, Armaan and Riddhima look at each other before moving their side as they sit near the couch on their knees...
Armaan was on Ananya side, Riddhima on Billy side as they closely look at their expression... Slowly, their shocked expression started to change happy expression with smile on their lips... Ananya were having tears in her eyes as they both at the same time move their hands inside the box to take the gift...
Armaan and Riddhima wait impatiently for them to speak what they feel to know this awesome news of going to be grandparents... It clearly show how much happy they were but they just wants to hear from their mouth... As they were trying to believe, it was truly happening or its just a dream, Armaan and Riddhima kept quiet giving them much needed time...

Episode 19 : Love Birds (AR ff)

Muskaan: Oye rahul... In dono ko dekho na. kitne cute lagte hai ek dusre ke saath... aur kitne romantic hai yeh dono... (Pointing towards armaan and riddhima)

Rahul: Muskaan... Mein bhi romantically baatein karta hoon na..  (Feeling jealous)

Muskaan: Meine na kab kaha my hero.. Bas aisa hi keh rahi thi...

Rahul: Then ok.. warna mere romance phir se shuru karna padegi...

Muskaan: Please rahul... yaha nahi... chup ho jao... ok...

Part 19 : Chance Encounter

Dinner was fun...or atleast if gulping down soup could be called fun.

"Thank God, you are not a doctor," Riddhima whined as Armaan insisted she finished her bowl of soup, "You would have driven your patients up the wall."

Armaan laughed, "Or charmed them to good health."

"Show off," Riddhima muttered.

"Beautiful!" Armaan countered, making Riddhima blush and concentrate on her soup until she had gulped down the last drop.

"Done."

All of them reach the resort safely and Anjali and Muskaan are really happy to armaan and riddhima safe.

Part 18 : Chance Encounter

Armaan said in a barely audible whisper,

"But I don't have the ring, Riddhima!"

 Riddhima's breath stuck in her throat while her heart beat superfast. She swallowed once, twice and then uttered in a hoarse whisper,

"What?"

"I don't have the ring," Armaan repeated with the same guilty expression. He stopped the car and slapped his forehead, "Damn Riddhima, you should have reminded me!"

"I should have reminded you?" A baffled Riddhima muttered almost to herself.

"Yes, obviously. How can I propose without a ring?"

Part 101 :From The Time I Saw You - An AR FF -

'Hey Mrs. Mallik, busy...???' Armaan said peeping in her cabin...
'Armaan, koi kaam tha...???' Riddhima asked looking towards him...
'Yes my darling, it's going to be lunch time so I was thinking to take Mommy to be of our child out for a lunch date... What's say, will you go out with Daddy to be...???' Armaan asked moving inside...
Riddhima was surprise with his sudden propose and before she could understand what was happening, Armaan was in front of her, sitting on his one knee, holding his hand out to her... Armaan smirk seeing her expression and he couldn't help but hold her hand, dropping a kiss on it...
Armaan turn her chair so she would be facing him and pull her hand close to his chest holding it there... He wait for her to answer but seeing her expression, he knows she was lost with the sudden question popped as if it was the first time Armaan asking her to go for a date with him...
Riddhima knows Armaan was very happy about the news and he wouldn't leave a chance to pamper... Lunch date was just an excuse to spend time with his darling wife and also he wants to take care of her as possible as he could to be the perfect idol husband for his pregnant wife...

Episode 17 : Love Birds (AR ff)

Anjali: Go abhi.. go and find nikki.. Your love...

She is not really believeing abhi's change.. She says it with full of attitude.. She is hating nikki since last night...

Saying that, she storms off from the scene...

Atul: Dekho abhi.. tum anjali ke baaton ko consider mat karo.. Uss ko abhi adjust karne mein time lagegi.. Ok..

Abhi: Thanks atul... Thank you friends...

Part 17 : Chance Encounter

"Armaan!"

"Can you hear me? Armaan?"

Armaan was jerked back to reality with his sister's hysteric screams on the other end of the phone line.

"Yes, Di, I can hear you," he said finally.

"Oh! Thank God!" Anjali sighed softly but was back to screaming the next instant, "What the hell were you thinking. One minute you were talking and the next all I can hear are screeching brakes and car horns. Here I am screaming at the top of my lungs and you don't even bother to answer! Scared the shit out of me!"

Part 8 : Hawas Ke Pal( An AR Mini SS)

FEW MINUTES LATER

Riddhima was making imaginary patterns on his bare chest with her fingers, their bodies were cover with the bed-sheet... Riddhima was laying with her head on his shoulder, Armaan one arm was around her waist as he hold her closed but he was looking at the ceiling...

Riddhima eyes were fixed on Armaan face, as she continue moving her fingers, she wait for him to react but he was too lost to be aware of what Riddhima was doing... Riddhima wasn't able to read his expression because he had manage to hide it from her perfectly...

When Armaan continue looking at the ceiling, he was very well aware of her gaze... Her hot breath, caring his cheek making his heartbeat fast but he manage not to let Riddhima aware, her action and closeness were affecting him...

Part 5 : The First Kiss 😘

Everyone came down after getting ready. Armaan could not help noticing that Riddhima  looked really slim and ravishing in jeans and a sleeve red shirt with her hair tied in a ponytail. Riddhima  also noticed him in his well fitting jeans with a t-shirt accentuating his well-chiselled physique and biceps. She felt guilty for noticing Armaan in that way, after all he was her future brother-in-law!

"Main apna bag lekar aati hoon" she lowered her eyes, well aware of Armaan's piercing gaze on her.

They drove to the hiking trails and carried their bags on their backs. Anjali held onto Armaan's arm and started walking ahead of the gang. Rahul gave company to Riddhima  and Muskaan. Riddhima  was a little relieved that Armaan was ahead of her; she could be more relaxed in Muskaan and Rahul's company. After they had been walking for a while, Riddhima  noticed that Rahul was starting to get closer to Muskaan and walk a little slowly. She got the message; she smiled and said, "aap log saath saath walk kariye….main thoda jaldi chalnaa chahti hoon" She lied and tried to get ahead of the lovely couple. She spotted Armaan and Anjali ahead of her; Anjali was still hanging on to his arm and engaging him in a deep conversation.

Episode 16 : Love Birds (AR ff)

All our college days.. I thought that my attraction towards you is infatuation just like I have with the other girls... But today... It is a different feeling and I just can not live without you nikki...
He desided to go to Nikki's room but does not because he thinks that she might be sleeping....
He keeps on thinking about her...
As he is lost in his own thoughts and due to the new excitement in him, he does not notice the letter clinging onto the side table with the aarm clock as its paper weight..
He soon goes to bed lost in the thoughts of nikki....

RIDDHIMA'S ROOM:

Armaan: Toh main chalun ??

part 19 : college Life

Outside malik mention delhi.
Arman : di maine dad ko call diya hai or unhe bol diya hai hum nikal rhe hain.
Niki: ok abhi yhan arman ko drive karne do bad me tum drive kar lena yhan ka use pata hai.
Abhi: main bhi ye hi soch rha tha .
Arman: chalo betho fir .
Abhi sit beside arman . niki ,anji nd ridz sit in backside of car .
Arman start driving nd set front mirror so he can see ridhima .

Part 16 : Chance Encounter

 "Love?" Armaan muttered to himself, half as a question and half as a whispered realization. He looked at Riddhima's nervous expression and smiled. "Love," he muttered again, this time the question mark almost gone, "Yes, I think I have!"

Riddhima had sympathized with the question in the first muttering but looked up surprised when she heard the final verdict. It was as if Armaan was waiting for her to look at him and had reserved his best smile just for her. As Riddhima returned his smile uncertainly, Armaan turned to look at Rahul, prepared for the next volley of questions. However, before Rahul could say anything Muskaan squealed in delight,

"Haaay, how romantic! Rab ne bana di Jodi? When you see her, kuch kuch hota hai?  What happens when she comes close to you? Do you hear violins? Guitars? Piano?"

Armaan laughed and then whispered conspiratorially to Muskaan, "Actually Bhabi, whenever she comes close to me, I hear Atif Aslam singing."

Episode 15 : Love Birds (AR ff)

Veer: Armaan.. You are not taking serious na beta... I was just joking.. Both are equal for me...Armaan: Oh papa.. Please.. I was also making fun.. Aur haan.. I am happy because you told riddhima as sweet... Riddhima gives a blush when she comes to know that they were speaking about her till then...

Armaan tells to riddhima regarding their London trip and Riddhima also supports his decision.

Armaan: So, Riddhima... Kal hum sabko London jaane ke liye convince karenge... What say ?

Riddhima: Yeah armaan... Main hoon na tumhare saath...

Part 15 : Chance Encounter

Rahul was reading the newspaper but his eyes kept moving back to Armaan, scrutinizing him, leveling him up. Donning a chef's hat, helping the ladies and cracking jokes, the guy looked way too comfortable to be just an acquaintance. He watched Armaan tell something to Muskaan who in turn burst out laughing.

"We've only just met," Rahul mumbled to himself, "but it feels like he has known us for ages."

 He also didn't miss the easy camaraderie that Riddhima and Armaan shared, the secret smiles, the private jokes. He noticed how Armaan finished most of Riddhima's sentences and how Riddhima managed to understand what Armaan wanted even before he uttered a single word. It was bizarre and if he didn't know better, he'd think that they were in love.
