Chapter 13

Next morning Aarti woke-up early and got ready then came downstairs only to find Nimki alone working in the kitchen. She made coffee and left for Yash's bedroom. He stepped out of the bathroom wearing blue jeans, wiping his face with a white towel. His hair is wet which makes him look a little more attractive. Aarti enters only to find him shirtless. Yash catches her looking him. He smiled, feeling proud of his looks to see his lady love admiring him. Their gazes met. Aarti looked away, shying and pretended to keep a coffee mug on the table.

"For the first time I saw him shirtless that too after falling in love with him" She whines in a low voice but Yash hears her.

"Aaj tum jaldi jaag gayi" Yash smirks.

"Yes, last evening you said we will be leaving early to office, that's why." She said. Yash nods.

"Please wear a shirt." She asked. He glanced at her surprise because she was never this shy. He nods, picking a shirt from the wardrobe but then drops it on bed. Aarti looked at him confused.

"Actually I have a little ache in my arm so could you help me with this." He tell.

"Ok" She came near him picking his shirt. Yash turned around and Aarti was repeating in her mind to not touch him in the process and she was almost successful but then Yash smiled noticing what she was trying to do.

"Buttons." He glanced at his chest. Aarti sighs knowing there is no way she can escape. She buttoned shirt, her fingers were grazing his chest which raised both their heartbeats. Yash closed his fist just to hold back the urge to go all wild with her.

"Shit what I'm thinking" He scolds himself remembering his own words that now he won't trouble her. Aarti continued buttoning his sleeves then straightened collar.

"Thanks Aarti" He smiled moving back as she looked at him, if he needed some more help even though she is feeling a lot of emotions right now. She just wants to run from him at the same time there is an urge to hug him and pour all her love.

Later in the office Manik comes to Yash's cabin.

"You want Aarti to always depend on you, right?" Manik didn't notice how he was talking to Yash. His insecurity is very much clear to Yash.

"If my thinking was low like yours I wouldn't have asked her to join the office, and for your kind information if right now you're talking about Aarti to me that's also because I told her to give you a chance because I thought of you a nice guy" Yash told in rage. Manik was taken aback.

"Now get the hell out of my cabin" Yash almost yelled at him. Manik looked down and left from there in anger.

"Tell me clearly if something is between you and Yash sir" Manik barges into Aarti cabin in a very bad mood. She stood from her chair.

"You think so low about me?" She was upset.

"Then what should I do? You run away from me whenever I come close to you, but you're so comfortable with Yash that you stay in his home" he said in anger.

"Shayad humare milne se pehle hi tum dono ke beech sab kuch ho chuka hoga" He got nasty. She closed her eyes feeling disgust at his mentality.

"Leave me alone" She tried hard to not yell. Manik left, making his mind that now it's over for them.

*******"

Later Yash Aarti was on their way home. Yash finds her silent and reaching home Aarti breaks her silence.

"I want to go from here" She said.

"I don't want to live here anymore." She repeated.

"Why?" he asks even though he finds it hard to understand her demand.

"I just want to go from here." she said again.

"But why?" he held her shoulder tightly, fearing the thought of her leaving.

"I'm not answerable to you" she was rude. Yash gripped her arms and pulled her near.

"What's wrong with you, where will you go?" He wanted to yell but it came out like a plea as it's just impossible for him to act harsh when it comes to her.

"I'll go whenever I want but I just don't want to live here under this same roof as yours" she pushed him away as Manik mean words again rang into her head. She left for her bedroom and returned soon packing her bag which had just her five clothes. Yash was standing there helplessly when she walked toward the door.

"Please don't leave me" He begged as she put her feet out of the house.

"If you truly loved me then you would not follow me" A lone tear rolls down her cheek as she continues to take steps ahead, ignoring his pleading and also her heart.

"Aarti" His eyes blurred with tears. She got a taxi and told Ishita's address. Ishita was shocked to see her there but still she welcomed her. They're more like sisters, she respects Aarti as her older sister. Ishita didn't ask anything and showed her room, it's an apartment for one person which Yash gave to his employees.

Yash called all Aarti's friends and at last tried Ishita's number only to get relief that Aarti is there. Ishita assured him that she will take proper care of her. Yash went to Aarti's room and lay in her bed hugging her fav teddy bear, sleep was far away from his eyes.

Next morning Yash was at Ishita's door. Aarti gets surprised.

"What are you doing here and how do you find out about me?" she asked as he sat in the living room. Ishita went to the kitchen to bring him water.

"It was not that difficult for me." He tells. She can see his red sleepless eyes.

"You didn't sleep" she asked, then regretted it.

"Yes" he accepted. She tears her gaze from him. He gets up from the sofa and comes near her.

"You also didn't get any sleep" he raised her chin and looked into her eyes which were as red as his.

"Please leave from here, I don't need you" She tell.

"Shayad tumhe meri zaroorat nahi hai par mujhe toh tumhari zaroorat hai" He said. This is the moment she knew she belonged to him.

"Stay away from me" She turned away.

"Sir" Ishita walked out of the kitchen. Yash smiled at her while picking a water glass.

"Let's go" Yash asked.

"Where?" Aarti asks.

"Office, I hope you remembered that you still work in my office" he said.

"Ji sir, go Aarti bring your bag" Ishita tells Aarti to bring her hand bag from the room. Yash was waiting for them in the parking lot when Aarti reached there with Ishita following her. Ishita sat in the back seat and Aarti was also about to sit there when Ishita gestured to her to take the front seat.

"He is our boss, not the driver." she said. Aarti nodded and sat in the front seat. Yash glanced at her then started the car.

In the afternoon Aarti Ishita was having their lunch together.

"Manik met me and told what he thinks about you and Yash sir" Ishita told. Aarti looked at her surprise then avoided her eyes.

"You know what Aarti you don't realize but you're very lucky to have Yash sir in your life. Don't let a guy like Manik destroy your real happiness" Ishita continued. Aarti pretends to eat her lunch even though her words affect her in a different way.

"I don't know what went wrong that you left Yash sir villa but don't take him for granted, you won't find a guy like him" Ishita touched Aarti's shoulder.

"I know Yash is an angel. And this world has very few men like him." Aarti speaks. Ishita waited for her to tell her then why she is not accepting Yash.

"He is an emotionally intelligent person and I can't even express my emotions." She continued.

"Mujhe jatana nahi aata" She looked ishita.

"Aur mujhe chhupana nahi aata." Yash enters, surprising both the girls. Aarti stood from the sofa.

"I can't hide my emotions" He came near her. Ishita silently leaves Aarti's cabin.

"Actually I come to call you for lunch" Yash changed the topic to see her uncomfortable. Aarti raised head in surprise.

"I guess you had that" His gaze shifted to Aarti's lunch box which was on the table. She follows his eyes.

"Hmm...i..." She mumbled.

"That's ok" He smiled and turned to leave. Aarti lifted hand and wanted to stop him feeling guilty, she knew he wouldn't have his lunch without her but no word came out of her mouth. She doesn't understand when this invisible wall comes between them. She cursed herself for even developing feelings for him which hurt both of them.

**********

In the evening Yash comes to Aarti cabin but finds it empty.

"I guess she left with ishita" He thought sadly, it's his habit of picking her up after work but today he forgot that she no longer lives with him.

Meanwhile in the parking lot Yash started his car but saw a figure at the entrance. He honked and that person turned toward him.

"Aarti" Yash murmurs to see her face. She came near his car.

"What are you doing here?" He questioned because he thought she left with ishita.

"Actually ishita left for her apartment" Aarti tells thinking maybe she forgot that now she also stays with her.

"How irresponsible of her" Yash was angry thinking what if he hadn't seen Aarti here.

"It's not her fault, she lives alone till now so it takes time to get accustomed to other people." Aarti said.

"Don't you dare defend her" He glared at her. She made a small face. He sighs and comes out of the car.

"I'm sorry, come I'll drop you" Yash said.

"Mujhe nahi jana aapke saath, itna zorse koi gussa karta hai" She turned away showing she is still upset with him.

"Arre baba mujhse galti hogyi, maaf kardo na, ab dheere se gussa kiya karunga" He hugged her from behind. Aarti looked at his face and smiled.

"Dheere se?" She asked. He nods cutely.

"I love you" She turned around only to kiss his cheek tightly. Yash was sweetly shocked. Aarti got what she just said and did. She moved away avoiding his eyes.

"Let's go" To avoid the awkwardness he opened the car door for her but she refused and said that she will find a taxi.

"Aarti it's too late, you would not get a taxi" Yash said. She was still not moving from her place so holding her hand he pulled her toward his car. Aarti glanced at him as he held the door for her. She knows he is not a guy to give up. The whole ride she was silent.

"How many times I tell you to learn driving but tum kisiki sunti kahan ho." Yash's voice caught her attention.

"From where I'll get the money for a car" She murmurs.

"Itni toh salary hai tumhare bank account mein aur mera bhi sab kuch tumhara hi toh hai" He replied lovingly. Aarti almost smiled because she forgot that she even had a bank account, Yash never let her touch her earned money, he is the one who used to spend on her.
