5 years later…
A thunderous applause echos throughout the room as a happy couple celebrates their 5th wedding anniversary. A tall handsome man wearing a black suit and black shirt stands proudly looking just as young as the day he had gotten married five years ago. The only difference in his appearance now is his gotee, which only enhances his masculine jaw line. He stands next to a ravishing woman, who is wearing a black sari with heavy silver embroidery, and she also looks just as beautiful as she had five years ago. The only difference in her appearance happens to be her radiant smile rather than her depressed frown on the day of her wedding.
The man leans in to feed his beautiful wife a piece of their anniversary cake. Her cheeks begin to redden as she feels his hand brush against her cheek. He accidently gets some white frosting on the flawless skin of her upper lip. The guests start tapping their wine glasses with their utensils in order to get her husband to kiss this imperfection away. Their friends and family gather around them as they continuously chant, "ARMAAN RIDDHIMA! ARMAAN RIDDHIMA!" Armaan shrugs his shoulders and looks devilishly at his lovely wife, Riddhima. She frantically waves her hands in front of her dear husband in hopes that he will comprehend. Armaan pulls her into his arms and grins, "Sorry sweetheart, but we have to give the people what they want…" Before she can protest further, he brushes his lips lightly against hers in a tender kiss, leaving her to feel a bit disoriented. She starts responding to the gentle kiss as soon as she gathers control of her body, but Armaan pulls away before he can lose the little self-control he has.
Just when Armaan and Riddhima break away from their innocent kiss, their best friends, Rahul and Muskaan, come over to congratulate them on their wedding anniversary. Riddhima grins widely and shoves a big piece of cake into Muskaan's mouth, which causes her to shriek. Muskaan smiles as she sees the look of joy on Riddhima's face as she looks onto her husband with so much love and affection. Riddhima truly does deserve happiness after suffering through years worth of agony for losing her first love. Muskaan feels happy for her friend, who was able to forgive and forget her past in order to move forward in her life. Today, she had everything she could hope for and more. It's true what they say that time heals all.
Rahul walks over to congratulate Armaan with his son, Ved, who is around four years old and resembles his father. Rahul hugs him rather tightly. It is remarkable Armaan has lasted this long as loyal married man. Of course, the changes in Armaan were visible when he first started falling for Riddhima Gupta, but one could only wonder back then if he too would fall prey to the famous saying "Old habits die hard." It is definitely quite an achievement for Armaan given his past history with women and surprisingly he has come a long way from his youthful Casanova days. Rahul feels proud that his best friend, who would run away from commitment, is now a happily married man.
Arjun and Arohi come forward to congratulate Armaan and Riddhima with their son, Aryan. Two little children stand next to Aryan looking rather grumpy. These two children gesture for Armaan and Riddhima to pick them up in their arms. Armaan smiles and picks up the little girl, who is wearing a cute little pink dress and seems around the age of three. Her features resemble that of her mother, but her grey eyes are identical to her father, Armaan. He kisses his daughter's nose and smiles brightly, "Hi princess… wait Pari are you crying?" Her eyes fill with tears as she points to her naughty older brother. He looks towards his wife for answers and frowns seeing his son holding his little girl's teddy bear. Armaan asks, "Riddhima, look Prateek took Pari's teddy bear." Riddhima turns her attention to the little devil in her hands. This little four year old boy turns away to hide behind the pallu of his mother's sari. Armaan scolds, "Prateek, give your little sister her teddy bear back." Prateek sweetly obeys and hands his little sister her teddy bear saying, "Sorry Pari." She excitedly takes her teddy bear in her arms and then leans out of Armaan's arms to kiss her older brother's cheek. Prateek smiles cutely and then pretends to be disgusted by his sister's behavior by shouting, "Eww!" Armaan and Riddhima start laughing at their two children.
Everyone soon starts requesting for Armaan and Riddhima to dance. Armaan looks towards Riddhima curiously and she nods in acceptance. Riddhima hands Prateek over to her parents, while Armaan hands Pari to his parents and they both make their way onto the middle of the dance floor. The lights dim as music plays Tum Se Hi from Jab We Met in the background.
Armaan and Riddhima look into each other's eyes.
Aa aa..aa aa…aa aa..aa aa.. aa..
Riddhima places her arms around Armaan's neck
and his rest on the small of her back.
They both start swaying to the rhythm of the music.
Na hai yeh pana
Na khona he hai
Tera na hona, jaane
Kyun hona he hai
Armaan twirls Riddhima three times and then pulls her back
making her crash against his chizled chest.
She blushes as she notices the look of
passion wash over Armaan's face.
Tum Se Hi din hota hai
Surmayi shaam aati hai
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi
Har ghadi saans aati hai
Zindagi kehlati hai
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi
Riddhima can't seem to handle Armaan's captivating gaze
anylonger so she rests her head against his chest.
She sighs in bliss as she smells his masculine scent
mixed with perfume and aftershave.
Na hai yeh pana
Na khona hi hai
Tera na hona, jaane
Kyun hona hi hai
Armaan protectively wraps his arms tightly around her
waist and places his head gently over hers.
Aa aa..aa aa…aa aa..aa aa.. aa..
They both close their eyes and think about how terrible
their lives would be if they had never became one and let
their past get in the way of their love for each other.
Aankho mein aankhe teri
Bahoo mein Bahe teri
Mera na mujh mein kuch raha
Hua kya
Riddhima lifts her head to look at Armaan. He stares
at her so lovingly that it makes her shiver with delight.
Bathon mein bathein teri
Rathe saogathe meri
Kuyn tera sab yeh ho gaya
Hua kya
Riddhima mouths, "I love you" to Armaan,
which causes him to smile and return the gesture
by brushing his lips on hers for a moment.
Mein kahin bhi jaata hun
Tum Se Hi mil jatha hun
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi
Armaan pulls his body slightly away from Riddhima,
and this causes her to pull his body even closer.
Armaan grins seeing Riddhima's restlessness.
Shor mein khamoshi hai
Thodi si behoshi hai
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi
The rest of the couples make their way onto the
dance floor, which all goes unnoticed by
Armaan and Riddhima. They are too busy staring into
the depths of each other's eyes.
Aa aa aa aa aa aa…
Armaan twirls Riddhima continuously and then
finally dips her low.
Aadha sa vaada kabhi
Aadhe se zyada kabhi
Jee chahe karlu is tarah
Wafa ka
Riddhima looks to the side of her and notices her
proximity to the ground. Armaan grins and
Riddhima prays he won't let her fall as a silly prank.
Chode na chute kabhi
Tode na toote kabhi
Jo daaga tum se jud gaya
Wafa ka
Armaan pulls her up and presses her body
against his. Riddhima breathes a sigh of relief,
which causes Armaan to smile like a fool.
Mein tera sarmaya hun
Jo bhi mein ban paya hun
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi
Raaste mil jate hai
Manzile mil jati hai
Tum Se Hi Tum Se Hi
Armaan's hand slowly runs down Riddhima's back causing
her body to shiver violently against his.
Armaan feels her body tremble and he looks away smiling.
Na hai yeh pana
Na khona he hai
Tera na hona, jaane
Kuyn hona he hai
Armaan stares passionately into Riddhima's eyes causing
her to not only melt, but weaken.
Aa aa aa aa aa aa …
He leans down and kisses her lips gently.
The moment is soon interrupted by two children screaming, "EWWW!" Armaan and Riddhima break away embarrassed and look at their children covering their eyes in front of them. Armaan and Riddhima shake their heads and pick up their naughty children. Soon the party comes to an end and all the guests leave. Pari and Prateek have already fallen asleep on the couch so Armaan and Riddhima carefully take them upstairs. They lay their little brats down on their beds, kiss their foreheads, wish them sweet dreams, and then tip toe out the room.
Riddhima turns to go back downstairs to clean up the mess, but instead Armaan scoops her up in his arms and carries her to bed. He throws her mischieviously on the bed and then goes back to lock the door. Armaan pounces on the bed at the same time Riddhima rolls away. He defeatedly look up from the mattress to see Riddhima laughing on the other side of the bed. He sighs and rests his head against his palm as he stares at Riddhima. She soon stops laughing as she becomes uncomfortable with his passionate stare as if he is mentally undressing her. She says, "Armaan stop looking at me like that." He says in a husky voice, "Sorry Riddhima, but I'm just appreciating one of God's finer works." She laughs while shaking her head as she gets up from the bed.
She walks toward the dresser and starts removing her earrings. From the mirror, she notices Armaan approaching from behind. Her heartbeats quicken as she feels his hot breath lingering on her neck. He plants kisses alongside her collar bone while his hands remove the necklace he gave her today for their anniversary. He whispers in her ear, "Riddhima, I'm really happy you decided to get your sweet revenge!" She looks at him curiously and he explains, "If it weren't for your master plan we would have never dated because you hated me back then so without an ulterior motive we wouldn't have went out. That also means I wouldn't have forced you to marry me and we wouldn't have our two beautiful children. Without your sweet revenge, we wouldn't be where we are now, madly in love with each other." She laughs and leans back against his chest replying, "You're so optimistic Armaan and I love that about you!" Armaan smirks, "That's good to know… now I want my present. You've made me wait long enough." Armaan picks up a giggling Riddhima in his arms and carries her over towards the bed to love her senseless.
Taking revenge on Armaan wasn't exactly the greatest of all plans, but it is lucky for Riddhima that fate was always on her side. Through her sweet revenge, she gained the one thing she thought she lost years ago, her first and only love, Armaan Mallik.
