RAINA MANSION
Raina came after having dinner with the Malliks, she was happy that she got sometimes to spend with the Malliks and specially with Armaan... As soon as she enter the house, a maid came running towards her asking if she needs anything... 'No Marie, I had my dinner...Where is Joseph...' Raina asked as she sit on the couch removing her heels... 'He was here a while ago, I guess he left...' Marie said... 'Okey, u may leave...' Raina said... Raina sit for sometimes resting her head on the couch with her eyes closed... She open her eyes feeling her mobile vibrate, she took it from her mobile and smile seeing the name flashing... 'Hello...' Raina answer the call and listen what the person says from the other side... 'No, we will not exclude the plan yet... Wait till I give u the single... I think its too easy to get what I want...' Raina said... After talking to the person for another ten minutes, Raina end the call and move towards the room... As she enter, it was dark and she on the light which was on one wall where several frames hang on... Raina move towards the wall as her eyes move on each and every picture, smile not leaving her face... She run her hand over the picture as her smile got wide... 'Aakhir tumhare ghar tak pochgayi mein... Mujhe kissi se koi dhushmani nehi hai, lekin jo bhi humhare beech mein aayenga, usko main apne raaste se hataungi.. Sirf tumhe paane ke liyeh, woh kyun na tumhare liyeh kitna important ya special ho... Kyunki tum sirf mere ho, sirf mere ho Armaan... Main yaha sirf ek maqsat ke liyeh aayi ho woh hai tumhe hasil karna... I promise u Armaan, jaldi Riddhima tumhe chod denge aur tum mere paas aajaenge...' Raina said laughing as she move away from the wall revealing it was filled with only Armaan's pictures...
TWO WEEKS LATER
It has been two weeks that Armaan had started his new project with Raina, Armaan had been so busy with the project he didn't know what was happening around him... Riddhima who try to concentrate more on to the project but always get distract by Raina present around Armaan, not because the bond Armaan share with her but somehow Riddhima feel that Raina had been trying to get close to Armaan whenever she get a chance... Riddhima trust Armaan that he was unaware of Raina doing this because she can read Armaan expression like an open book... Also Riddhima trust their love that no one can break them apart, not even Raina if her intention is to do something like that... Riddhima thought to warn Armaan about Raina but leave the idea thinking Armaan can handle the situation after all Raina is his friend and Armaan knows the limit on everything and every relation he share with each person in his life... Riddhima didn't mind Armaan being with Raina all the time but when Armaan was unknowingly ignore Riddhima due to this project, Riddhima started to get upset... Armaan work day and night discussing about the design of cloths which they would be presenting in their new collection of cloths... Even Riddhima had been giving some idea's but Raina keep always pointing out something or other just to deny whatever Riddhima say... Riddhima get irritate when Armaan agree with Raina most of the time because being the designer, Riddhima always know which is good to present a particular dress and never before Armaan agree with anyone about her design... Just to be professional around Raina, Riddhima never say anything to Armaan... Riddhima try to be nice with Raina, but day by day Raina was getting on Riddhima nerve... Armaan who always agree with Riddhima has started to find Raina right on most of the discussion they do... Riddhima try not to take those matters inside the house but Armaan just can't stop talking how right Raina was about the design not being perfect... Riddhima was already so irritate with Raina trying to be too much close to Armaan and then when Armaan started to agree with Raina on everything didn't go well with her... Riddhima request Armaan not to discuss about the project in home as it was last week of Nikki before she goes back to join her semester in aboard... It seems Armaan really didn't care what Riddhima was saying as he keeps talking and discussing about their project every time he get alone with Riddhima... Also Riddhima is not a girl to lose control over herself but this time she just blast on Armaan when one night Armaan again started to talk agreeing with Raina decision... 'Bas Armaan, bohot hogaya ab...' Riddhima shouted as she turn around facing Armaan who was sitting on bed holding some papers... Riddhima was arranging their cloths and deciding cloths for them to the following day after a busy and hectic day... Riddhima had been helping Ananya in kitchen as tonight Nikki's friend has come for a dinner along with Abhi before Nikki leave for her studies... Riddhima was in no mood to hear Armaan talks and she has already request him nicely not to discuss about any work because she was having a slight headache... 'Riddhima, jaan tum itna gussa kyun ho...' Armaan ask standing looking at her... 'Gussa nehi karun toh aur kiya karun Armaan... Ek baar nehi, doh baar nehi balki bohot baar maine tumse kaha plz kaam ke baate ghar mein mat karo mujhse... Ab haat jodke, peir pakad ke request karun kiya tumhe... Tum samaj kyun nehi rahe ho Armaan, main interest nehi hoon what Raina feels good or not about the design...' Riddhima started as she shake with anger... 'Lekin yeh zaruri haina, abhi tak ek design final nehi huvi aur humhe twenty design finalized karke banwana hai...' Armaan said... 'Toh main kiya karun Armaan... Tumhare us RG koh toh meri koi design pasand nehi aa rahi...'Riddhima said... 'Mera RG, are you out of ur mind... She is...' Armaan was cut by Riddhima... 'Just a friend right... Itna accha dost hai ki pehli baar the Armaan Mallik apne biwi se us ladki ke wajahse disagree kar raha hai... Wah kiya dosti hai, right...' Riddhima said as angry hot tears fall from her eyes... 'Kiya bakwaas kar rahe ho Riddhima, I find her reason valid not to agree with ur design... Koi personal baate nehi hai...' Armaan said... 'Haan, tum professional ho uske saat issiliyeh tum itni din se anjaan raha woh tumhare kitna close aane ki koshish karta hai har waqt jab ki kaam ke waqt tumhare khud ke biwi tumhare itna paas aane ki kabhi koshish nehi karte...' Riddhima said... 'Riddhima, tum sach mein paagal hogayi ho... Yeh kiya bakwaas kar rahi ho, woh aisa kyun karenge... She knows I m a married guy and I love my wife...' Armaan said... 'Tik hai, shayad mujhe aisa lagti hogi kyunki mein tumhe kissi aur ladki ki aaspaas bhi nehi dekh sakti... Lekin Armaan, tumhe nehi lagta tum mujhse zyada is project koh importance de rahi ho... Jo ladka apne biwi se doh minute dur nehi reh sakta, achanak itna badlav kyun... Yeh tumhara pehla project toh nehi na itna bada...' Riddhima said... 'Jaan, tumhe pata haina humhare paas teen months hai already, two weeks khatam hogaya aur ek bhi design final nehi huva...' Armaan said... 'Toh kiya huva, professional life ke saat saat personal life bhi toh hota hai... Iska yeh matlab nehi na ek kaam ki wajahse tum apna personal life jeena chod denge... Raat ke waqt toh apne biwi ke saat kuch waqt bita hi sakte ho na tum... Tum meri saar waqt nehi bita ti toh neend bhi nehi aata lekin ab... Itna badlav kyun, sirf ek project ki wajahse ya tumhare special dost ki wajahse...' Riddhima asked as she closed the wardrobe door little too hard... Armaan was shocked to hear Riddhima's was as his mind try to understand each and every single word Riddhima just said... Riddhima look at Armaan and seeing his expression, she understood Armaan was trying to understand what she means... Leaving Armaan to think, Riddhima move to the bed on her side... It was true they can't sleep without each other but from last two weeks, Riddhima had been trying not to disturb Armaan knowing how much the project means to him... Hiding herself in the comforter, Riddhima switch off her side light knowing Armaan will keep his side light on... Armaan just keep staring at Riddhima for sometimes, Armaan knows Riddhima was upset for not giving time for her in the past two weeks and he now realized Riddhima furious was not about giving time but also Armaan had been agreeing everything Raina says about the design and stretching it too far not finalizing anything... Also Armaan remember Raina being sometimes very close to him while they discuss but Armaan never thought her intention would be wrong because Armaan mind and heart is always occupied with Riddhima no matter how much busy he is on work... It was the first time, they had fought this badly after marriage... Armaan somehow felt he has been ignoring Riddhima, thinking of Riddhima point of view he know she was right in her place... Armaan felt bad for making Riddhima so upset and cry, he knows Riddhima will cry to sleep tonight so without waiting, Armaan got on the bed and move close to her pulling her close to him... Riddhima didn't respond to his touch as she stay like that, feeling Riddhima shake a little... 'Sorry jaan...' Armaan whisper on her ears hiding his face on her hair... Riddhima didn't reply him but stay like that and relax in his arms as Armaan started to rub his hand on her arm slowly trying to calm her and put her in to peace slumber... Armaan thought Riddhima would be sleeping soon but it was another long night for Riddhima as sleep was far away from her eyes... Riddhima was feeling horrible for fighting like that with Armaan knowing whatever she said tonight, Armaan wasn't aware of anything... Her guilt rise when Armaan say sorry for nothing he has done intentionally... Riddhima knows it would take time for her to be normal around Armaan after the conversation took between them tonight, she never have thought in her wildest dream that she would fought with Armaan ever and blame him on something stupid like that when she clearly knows Armaan was innocent... Tears was falling from her eyes for thinking so cheap about her love, she felt she has insult their love today by saying all those words... Knowing she had to talk and say sorry to him would only let her guilt leave her, Riddhima close her eyes to let the sleep take over her eyes and rest her body after a hectic day...
