Update 4

The sun rose indicating it was morning. Riddhima woke up smilingly after she heard her alarm and suddenly she felt a pain in her body. It happened because she slept in an odd position that reminded her of last night incidents. After she remembered the last night incident her smile faded away. She with a dull face went to get ready. When she came out she saw muskaan was standing at the door with a smile. Riddhima sighed and sat on the bed with a sad face. Muskaan got confused seeing riddhima’s behaviour.

Muskaan: oye tujhe college nahiin jana hai kya?

Riddhima: jana hai lekin jaa nahiin sakti.

Muskaan: kya matlab hai ki jana hai lekin jaa nahiin sakti

Riddhima: For yesterday’s behaviour Armaan has given me a punishment so can’t go to college today.

Muskaan looked at riddhima with a shocked look and then after few seconds sighed. She walked towards riddhima and sat beside riddhima on the bed.

Muskaan: tune usse bola ki usne jab tujhe subha se call hi nahiin kiya hai toh tu usse kaise poochti ki mujhe bahar jana hai permission dedo?

Riddhima: hain muski miene kaha but chod sirf college nahiin janey ki saza mili hai har baar ki tarah mushkil saza nahiin milli. pata hai mien hairaan hoon ki iss baar usne mujhe asaan saza kyun di hai. I mean it has never happened then why today? Why aren’t you saying anything?

 Muskaan: hhhmm mien khud hairaan hoon ki usne tujhe itni asaan saza kyun di hai? chal vo sab chod tu sach main college nahiin aa rahi hai?

Riddhima: Nahiin or agar gayi toh or armaan ko pata chala toh punishment jo abhi kam or asaan lag rahi hai tab badi lagegi.

Muskaan: hain vo toh hai chal theek hai phir mien nikalti hoon or teri attendance lagwane ki koshish karoongi.

Riddhima: uski zaroorat nahiin padegi mujhe pata hai har baar ki tarah Armaan college authorities ko phone karkar bol dega ki mujhe attendance dede (muskaan nodded her head in agreement and left for college)

Kirti: college jaa rahi ho (Muskaan was walking towards the door when kirti’s voice stopped her)

Muskaan: hain mamma per kyun poocha?

Kirti: vo riddhima kaha hai I hope she isn’t going? (Muskaan understood Armaan must have told kirti about riddhima’s punishment and would have asked her to keep an eye on riddhima that whether she went to college or not)

Muskaan (forced a smile): vo nahiin jaa rahi mamma. Mom you should know riddhima will never go against armaans words.  

Muskaan after speaking to kirti started walking towards the door when she saw Armaan along with rahul and abhimanyu was entering their house. She forced a smile at them and then left for college. While going to college she also prayed for riddhima’s well-being.

Armaan rahul and abhimanyu walked towards kirti and she smiled seeing them. Armaan walked towards her and touched her feet first and then hugged her.

Armaan (after breaking the hug): where is riddhima?

Kirti: or kahan apne room main hi hai jao mill lo usse.

Armaan (smiled and said): I am taking her along with me to disco hope you have no problem with it?

Kirti (smiled and said): oh wow disco and why would I have a problem with it? She is your would be wife, you can take her anywhere you want. But you sure she’ll go to disco I mean she has never gone to such places before.

Armaan: I know she hasn’t gone because she knew I wouldn’t like her going to such places. Also it wouldn’t have been safe for her and muskaan. I always wanted to take her with me though. Anyway it’s basically a celebration that I have returned to India forever so you can call it a welcome party.

Kirti: oh so that’s why you didn’t let her go to the college today so was that punishment fake?

Armaan (chuckled and said): uumm well aunty you can’t call that a punishment but yeah she deserved one for not taking my permission.

Kirti (in a confused tone): permission? Anyway till now you haven’t told me yet why you gave her a punishment? What did she do?

Armaan: nothing serious she and muskaan went to eat aloo tikki before the party started. Riddhima neither asked me nor told me after she saw or met me and above all muskaan was telling her not to tell me about it.

Kirti: what muskaan said like that?

Armaan: Yes, she thought I am not in the room, she said not to tell me about their escape but once she realized I was in riddhima’s room she left after that. Anyway, let me go and meet riddhima.

Hearing to Armaan kirti thought she would talk to muskaan and strictly tell her not to interfere in armaan’s matter regarding riddhima. Armaan walked towards riddhima’s room and without knocking entered her room. He saw that she was sitting near the window with her mother’s photograph.

Armaan: riddhima

Hearing Armaan’s voice riddhima immediately looked towards him and stood up quickly. Armaan moved towards her and hugged her tightly shocking riddhima completely. Riddhima hesitantly hugged him back because if she didn’t hug him back he might get mad at her and she didn’t want an angry armaan early morning. He broke the hug and kissed her forehead.

Armaan: Get ready we are going out.

Riddhima looked at Armaan with a confused look. Riddhima was unable to understand as he was the one who gave her the punishment yesterday to stay at home and now he was only asking her to get ready so that he could take her out.

Armaan: aise kya dekh rahi ho? If you are thinking where we are going, then let me tell you we are going to a disco so you better get ready fast. Yes, do wear a red salwaar suit you know how much I love to see you in that colour dress.

Riddhima just nodded her head in agreement and went to get ready as she didn’t want to angry Armaan any further otherwise her punishment would just keep on increasing. After getting ready riddhima came down and saw that Armaan along with rahul and abhimanyu were sitting on the dining table and eating breakfast.

Kirti (saw riddhima on stair): riddhima aao nashta karlo.

Riddhima just smiled, she knew why kirti was behaving nice with her, Armaan was here otherwise she would have never ever asked her to have her breakfast. Armaan saw riddhima was wearing red colour salwaar suit and smiled because she heard him. Riddhima walked towards the table and saw Armaan was signaling her to sit next to him. Riddhima sighed and sat next to Armaan even after knowing what would happen next and still she couldn’t deny him otherwise he would get angry. If he got angry then this would mean punishment for her so she decided to keep quiet.

Riddhima (after sitting): hi rahul and abhimanyu, good morning

She greeted rahul with a smile but while wishing abhimanyu she forced a smile. If it was in her hand she wouldn’t have wished abhimanyu but she had to as Armaan was sitting next to her and if she wouldn’t wish his friends she would surely receive a slap from him.

Abhimanyu: hi riddhima and good morning.

Rahul: hey riddhima good morning and how are you?

Riddhima understood the true meaning behind his words. She knew he was asking her whether she was fine after armaan’s anger on her or rather with his punishment.

Riddhima: I am fine rahul.

By now kirti came and they all started eating their breakfast. After sometime kirti left the dining table and Armaan saw this as a golden opportunity. He kept his free hand on riddhima’s knee. As soon as riddhima felt his hand on her knee she started coughing.

Rahul (in a concerned tone): are you fine?

Abhimanyu (winked at Armaan): Armaan yaar you really don’t leave a chance right?

Armaan (winked back at abhimanyu): nope and why should I leave? Besides someone will be a fool to leave such a golden opportunity and I am not a fool.

Rahul after he heard their conversation understood that what was going on and why riddhima started coughing suddenly. He looked at riddhima who was now looking at her food only. Her expressions were showing how much uncomfortable she was feeling right now.

As much as rahul wanted to help riddhima he knew he couldn’t do it. Armaan didn’t like anybody interfering in riddhima’s and his matter so he started eating his breakfast and even abhimanyu. Armaan started moving his hand up and down on her thigh’s which made riddhima feel uncomfortable. How much she wanted to tell him not to do it but she knew she couldn’t do it. Even if she gathered strength and did it she would have to face his anger and then there would be no escape.

On the other hand, Armaan was enjoying troubling or rather in his words teasing Riddhima; he was eating his food as if nothing was happening below the table. Riddhima before sitting knew he would do something like this and hence didn’t want to sit here but still she had to as she had no other option.

She was now unable to eat properly as Armaan whose hands were continuously caressing her thighs were not letting her concentrate on her food. She looked towards Armaan and got shocked as he was looking towards her only with a smirk. Seeing him smirking riddhima knew he was doing it purposely to show her that he owned her. That he can do anything with her and he didn’t need anyone’s permission to be with her. Riddhima sighed and tried to eat her food though it was very difficult for her but still she managed to eat her food.

After they finished their breakfast armaan stood up followed by abhimanyu and rahul. Riddhima was still eating her last bite when she saw everyone was getting up. She quickly gulped down the last bite and after that drank water. She wiped her face with the napkin and stood up after that.

Armaan (shouted): Ramu kaka

Hearing armaan’s loud voice ramu kaka came running from kitchen towards the dining table.

Kaka: apko kuch aur chahiye armaan baba?

Armaan: nahiin mujhe bas itna bolna tha ki aaj riddhima ka khana mat banana vo mere saath bahar khayegi (Riddhima looked at armaan with pool of questions in her mind whereas ramu kaka nodded his head in understanding and left from there. Before riddhima could ask him would they be out for whole day? He looked at her and continued speaking) go and sit in the car we are coming.

Riddhima: Armaan (riddhima started asking but after she saw that armaan was glaring at her she immediately stopped speaking and quickly walked out of the house towards the car)

Armaan: Abhimanyu is everything ready?

Abhimanyu: Don’t worry nikki is already there and everything has been set according to the plan. (Armaan smiled in satisfaction whereas rahul looked at them with confused look)

Rahul: Hold on what’s going on here? What plan you both are talking about?

Armaan: well disco chalo sab pata chal jayega (armaan winked at rahul and walked towards the exit of the house and abhimanyu followed him)

Rahul (he looked towards the ceiling): bhagwaan riddhima ki rakshna karna pata nahiin armaan ke dimaag main kya chal raha hai

Coming up: AR in disco
