Part 7
The A-rival
Recap: Armaan has a daydream about him and Riddhima. On the saying of Muskaan, Armaan and Riddhima feed each other and Armaan deliberately bites her finger while having the bite. The girls and boys bicker over the topic of going for shopping and the girls get upset, but the boys pacify them and they all go for shopping. During the shopping, Armaan makes Riddhima wear the set he chose and Riddhima gets angry, but calms down when Sapna gets angry. Armaan and Riddhima have an intimate moment together, but then Riddhima goes away. After they both leave the mall, a girl laughs and says that she'll take Armaan away.
" KYA? " The gang yelled together in unison. Everyone in the gang, except for Riddhima, had gathered together in Amit's room. Armaan had told them about his moment with Riddhima yesterday, and they were shocked.
" Lekin tu usske paas gaya hi kyun? " asked Rahul.
" Toh kya karta? Usse aise dekh ke toh koi bhi ladka pagal ho jaye ga. Aur Rahul. Tu toh aise bol raha hain, jaise tu kabhi Muski ke saath romance hi nahin karta. " said Armaan.
" Ey tu baat ko ghuma matt ha! Muski ke saath toh meri shaadi huyi hain. Main jab chahe usske saath romance karo, uss mein tera kya jaata hain saale kameene! " Rahul defended himself and Muskaan blushed.
" Toh maine kya Riddhima ko pakad ke rakha hain? Meri bhi toh woh legally wife hain. Aur tu romance ki baat karta hain saale, tere se toh zyaada romantic hoon main! "
" Yaar kuch toh sharam karo tum dono! Hum yahaan Amy aur Ridzi ki problem solve karne aaye hain, aur tum saale apni love life khol ke bethe ho? Humme koi shok nahin hain sunne ka ke kaun zyaada romantic hain! " Amit cut their argument and they said sorry to each other.
" Amy. Iss mein koi buraayi nahin hain ki tum Ridzi ke paas gaye. Woh toh tumhara haq hain. Lekin yeh sahi mauka nahin hain. Usse toh pehle se hi yehi lagta hain ki tumne usse cheat kiya hain. Aur agar iss waqt par tum usske paas jaoge, toh usse toh yeh hi lage ga na ki tum yeh sab usske jism ke liye kar rahe ho. Tum samajh rahe ho na, ki main kya keh rahi hoon. " Sapna explained to Armaan, and he nodded.
" Aur Amy. Yahaan sabse badi problem toh yeh hain, ki tum humme yeh nahin bata rahe ho ki sach kya hain. Jab tak humme poora sach nahin pata chalta, hum kaise tumhari help kar sakte hain? " said Anjali.
" Main jaanta hoon Anji lekin' " Armaan stood up and walked to the window.
" Lekin kya Armaan? " asked Anjali.
" Agar poora sach mujhe pata hota, toh kya main tum logo ko nahin bata ta? "
" Matlab? " the gang said in unison.
" Guys, jo sach hain, main usska sirf ek hissa jaanta hoon. Baaki sab toh main khud pata lagaane ki koshish kar raha hoon. "
" Aur tu kitna jaanta hain? Dekh Amy. Tu humme jitna batayega, hum teri aur bhi madat kar sakenge. Please. Tujhe jitna pata hain, humme bata de. " Muskaan went up to him, and placed her hand on his shoulder. Armaan looked at her, and she nodded to assure him. Armaan closed his eyes for a few moments. After gathering all his courage, he opened his mouth to speak.
" Muski uss din- " Armaan spoke up, but was then interrupted by the servant.
" Saab. Khana tayaar hain. " Armaan closed his eyes again, and turned to the servant.
" Theek hain, aap chaliye hum aate hain. " Armaan smiled at him.
" Ji saab. " The servant left and the gang followed him out.
At the Dinner Table'
Everyone started to walk towards their normal seats. Armaan and Riddhima, too, were walking towards the seat when they came right in front of each other. Riddhima looked at him, and then looked away as she recalled yesterday's incident, and sat down. Armaan did the same. They had not talked after they came back from the mall. The worst part was that, Riddhima had slept in Anjali's room, as she was in no mood of talking to him. Even in the morning, she stayed busy with others in order to prevent any talk with him.
