Today, Armaan is going to return and I've planned to ask him, every questions.

I'm hanging out, with my old friends, after a long time. Some are already married and some are still single, like me.

We decided to meet at the famous mall, R City. We had lunch in it's food court. Now we are just roaming around.

Being the girls we are, we did lots of shopping.

"Hey, look isn't that Armaan, from our school? He's looking so handsome." Urvi exclaimed.

I turned around to look, where she was looking and it was him. He was really looking handsome. I wonder what he was doing here.

"Yes!" Riya said.

"Hey! Guys look this dress is so pretty," I exclaimed pointing towards a dress.

I don't want them drooling on him. I don't know, why. I won't tell them, that I know him. Not yet. I don't want to lie them, about it. So, it's better we talk about something else.

"Yes, it will look nice on you," Riya said.

"Yaa, we should try it. Let's go in." Aish said.

Bull's eye.

I'm on my way to Armaan's house. I'm lucky that today, he asked to deliver his lunch at his place. Now I can ask him all the questions, whose answers I need to know.

I was planning ask him yesterday itself, without mom noticing it. But he didn't come for dinner. Mom said. "He is not back, yet."

I don't know why she said that. Either he lied her or she lied to me. Whatever is going on between them, I intend to find it out, today. I want to know what is it, that they are hiding from me.

I walked inside and saw Armaan was still sleeping on his bed. I move further towards him, and study him.

He is not wearing a T-shirt, his half body is covered from the view, under covers. He is sleeping on his stomach. So, I can see his toned back. I can guess he have six packs. It's not that, I like guys with toned body only. But he looks handsome. His hair his disheveled. He looks peaceful and more handsome in his sleep. He is really very handsome.

Argh!! Stop it Ridhimaa. Poor guy is sleeping.

I walk more closer and kneel on his bed. I shake his arm.

"Hmmm..."

I laugh and shake him again. This time he wakes up and moves so fast, I can't register, what happened. He is now on top of me. My hands pinned above my head and his body is between my legs our faces are inches apart.

"You!" He exclaims in relief. I guess he thought I'm some attacker.

"Yaa, I brought your lunch," I say breathlessly. Because of our close proximity and I guess he caught it. He was smiling evilly.

"How did you get in?" He frowned.

"The door was open." I said.

Then he realizes something and leaves me there still flustered and goes through his things. I try to gain my breath and sit up, mean while.

"Thanks for lunch," he said after returning to sit next to me. He is sitting so close that our arms were brushing and I blushed.

"Armaan?"

"Hmm?" He says and lie down on his bed, staring at the ceiling. I lie down next to him.

"I want to.... ask you.... something," I hesitated. I felt him getting stiff beside me.

"Ask." He said.

"Yesterday I went to R City. I saw you there."

"Ohh, that girl was my colleague." He said very quickly.

"Girl?"

"Yaa, the one you say me with."

"You were with a girl?" I turned and faced him. He did the same.

"Yaa, wait you didn't see her?" I shook my head. "Then what did you want to ask me about mall?"

"When I saw you, you were alone. And I wanted to ask you that, Why didn't you come for dinner, when you were done?"

"I said your mom that, I was having my dinner at my colleague's place. Because our meeting wasn't over yet. Didn't she tell you?"

I shook my head and he frowned. "Colleague means that girl?" I asked.

"Yes, her name is Priya." He said smiling.

This was not, what mom said me. He was with a girl. Was she really his colleague or..... Stop it Ridhimaa. That's none of your business. He can date anybody he wants.

"Ok. I want to ask you one more thing." I said.

"Ask away," he said smiling.

"Where are your parents?" I asked looking into his eyes. His smile immediately faded and he sat up.
