MADE FOR EACH OTHER

CHAPTER 19 : DATE IN YOUR DREAMS

"No. It's fine. When I said abba I'm going with you he gave the day off." He said. Dua just nodded in response.
Armaan was stunned when they got inside. The people as soon saw dua stopped all there work and came forward to meet her.

Armaan was seeing everyone gathering around her. Some on wheelchairs some using Crutches and walkers. They all came and started chatting and talking among themselves. Armaan stood behind. He cleared his throat to get attention of dua but also attracted all of there's attention.

The faces suddenly changed and were all now eyeing him from head to toe. He gulped nervously. Dua was enjoying seeing him so but eventually helped him.

"Ladies and gentleman's. This is mr. Armaan rizvi. My fiance." She said loud enough with an amused smile on her face. Armaan's heart beat skipped as she announced it so happily. It made him happy. But was she actually.

All the old people held same expressions but then one of them began to laugh followed by everyone. Those old people then welcomed him inside.

Armaan was sitting all scrunched up between two old men in there late 70's.
Who were bombarding questions to armaan. What he does for living. What are his future plans. How he met dua and will he take care of her. Someone even warned him not to have second marriage and if he did they would haunt him down.

One of the old women who was sitting in single chair busy making sweater out of the woolen threads asked armaan how many kids they were gonna have.
"Ten. Miss." Said armaan.
Everyone in the room started laughing including armaan.
Luckily dua wasn't there or else dua would have killed him.
Undoubtedly armaan was having fun there even though was asked awkward questions.

Armaan was now playing chess in the back porch with the view of a beautiful garden in the backyard with an old man named mr.mehta who was still thinking about his next step since past 10 minutes. But armaan was busy looking at the window of the kitchen through which he was watching dua along with some lady who was owner of the place. Whom dua introduced to armaan a while before.

Armaan was unaware that his opponent has played his move. As he was too busy looking at dua. The old man followed his line of vision.
The old Mehta uncle  cleared his throat. Armaan turned a shade of red.
"Oh you made your move. Hmm. You are more smart then I thought you are." Said armaan.

Mr.mehta gave a light laugh and said.
"And you seem more lucky then I thought you are."
Armaan looked at him as he continued.
"I'm here for last eight years and I've seen dua since three years. You are lucky to have her you know. She's not like any other girl. She's much different." He paused making armaan look at him "She has this shell around her. I don't know whether you have cracked it or not but once you crack it you can see the inner dua which is completely different from what you see outside." Mr. Mehta said.

It was time for dua and armaan to leave now. Dua was searching for him and found speaking to the owner of the old age house sameedha more who was a social worker.

"Let's go armaan. I've to head home. I have some college work to do. Let's leave" She said to which armaan nodded. They both together bid there farewell to the old age home.

When they began to drive dua was aching to annoy him this time.
"So you want ten kids." Said dua. Armaan was embarrassed and dua was enjoying it. But armaan had his cocky way back.
"Why you want more." He said confidentially.

"Pervert." She murmured underneath her breath.
It took more then half hour to reach back. Dua was tired with the whole day and passed away in the car itself. Armaan wasn't aware of it until heard her soft snores in the silence.

Armaan stopped the car in front of mr.Shah's mansion. He didn't wanted to wake dua up but he was left with no choice. He was watching dua sleep in peace until he realized what he was doing. He woke her up by calling her name a few time. It took a while to dua for realize about her surroundings.
She saw her house was here she grabbed her belongings and unplugged the phone that was charging in the car and was about to move out but armaan stopped her.

"Dua." He called and paused. "Thankyou for taking me there today. Though it was a weird experience I never had but I really enjoyed it." Armaan said making an eye contact with her.

Dua was completely shocked by his words. She was just simply starring at him. 'Did he actually said it or was I am dreaming.' She said to herself.
Time passed and they were just looking at each other.

The sound of waves were to be heard. But the sounds of the fast beating of their heart was more distinct.
It wasn't completely dark but not too bright too. But the way they saw the shine in each other was different.

If armaan's phone didn't had rang they would sitting there whole night. Dua said a quick Allah hafiz and rushed out of the car. It was second time they were having the moment. Dua breath turned heavy she watched armaan's car leave. She wanted to just go to her room badly. 

Armaan didn't pick the call. He just kept his hand on his chest with was beating twice it's speed.

Dua got in but she paused when heard distinct laugh. She was sure it was ayesha's but there was one more very know voice which she had heard but wasn't able to recognize. She went through the hall and paused when saw ayesha with arham.

Ayesha was sitting dangerously close to arham but arham didn't seem to mind that. They both stopped laughing when they saw her. Seeing arham a pang of anger raised within dua. She went for her room with out saying or doing anything else.

She closed the door of her room shut. She was feeling very angry but didn't knew why. Whether it's because arham did so wrong with her that she never wanted to see him or she was angry because he was with ayesha.

'Just stay away from him. I don't really like him'.
armaan's word were ringing in dua's hears.

"Uff. Why this armaan always makes his way back into my head. I must not think about anyone and just think about myself." She said to her self and dug herself into the sheet of her bed. Not even caring to remove her hijab. But eventually got up as she had some important college work to do.

Not forgetting what had happened back in the car.
