Chapter 17

Aarti was sitting in her cabin lost when Yash entered.

"Let's go" He picked her hand bag and mobile.

"Where?" Aarti asked as he grabbed her wrist.

"I'll tell you in our way" He said while dragging her along with him.

"I won't come with you" She wriggled as he was about to open the door.

"Tum chalogi tumhe meri kasam" He said. She was all ready to protest but not now. He smiled walking out and she followed him silently. As they reached Ishita's apartment, she was done packing Aarti's bag. And soon Aarti finds out about the meeting which is in Manali, so they're leaving tonight.

"Aajkal tum meri har baat ka jawab na hi deti ho isliye i told ishita to pack your bag" Yash tell. Aarti can feel he is complaining more then telling her about their trip.

"Aisa nahi hai" She avoided his eyes.

"Liar" He tilted her chin up. She glanced at his eyes. Ishita enters the room and tells Aarti to be careful with the weather of manali.

"Sir told me that you got sick last time on the Shimla trip." Ishita looked at Yash. Aarti nods, feeling embarrassed. Also it made her recall how close they used to be when there was no love angle between them. Or she just doesn't realise her feelings till the time fear of losing him hits her.

"Aarti, are you even listening to me?" Ishita touches her arm. Aarti was yanked out of her thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" Yash cups her face. She can see concern in his eyes but did she deserve it.

"Kuch nahi" She rudely pushed his hands. Yash was hurt but didn't show it to her. He went out with the excuse of keeping their bags in the car.

"In two hours is our flight" Yash spoke as he started driving. Aarti didn't even glance at him. He looked at her as she appeared lost sitting there looking out of the window. Her hair was flying with wind and it didn't even bother her. He tucked some curls behind her ear then only she turned toward him.

"I miss my baby." His eyes turn sad.

"I'm hoping to find her on this trip" He looked ahead where Aarti kept looking at him. Yes she was his baby, who never hide anything from him, and now it feels as if there is an invisible wall between them. Even if she wishes she can't break that down.

Landing in Manali, Yash took Aarti to Scindia farmhouse.

"Why are we here?" Aarti asked, looking around.

"I got a call from my father, when I told him about this trip he told me to stay here" Yash told her that his dad bought this farmhouse recently only. She nodded, he showed her a room.

Next day was their meeting which went well. They are going to organize it next month. It's an MP son's wedding so Yash also met the guy and discussed the ideas with him too who also approved.

In the evening Yash took Aarti for some shopping. Aarti selected an outfit for ishita. Yash bought a saree for Radha and a makeup kit for Neelam.

"You want something?" Yash asks Aarti. She nods no as they meet just outside after being in different sections.

"Aapko kuch chahiye?" She tries to hide a bag. He nods no, holding three bags.

"Why did I buy this watch?" Aarti thought, looking into the bag as she noticed the extra bag in Yash's hand too.

"Did he also buy something for me?" She wondered.

"Is bag mein kya hai?" As Aarti took her seat Yash asked curiously.

"Nothing" she fumbled.

"What is in your bag?" She also decided to ask.

"Kuch khaas nahi" He lied. They both looked at each other wondering if they were both lying.

Reaching home Yash entered Aarti's room as she left for the bathroom. She steps out and finds a men's wrist watch in Yash's hand. She got angry and snatched it from his hand. He questioned for whom she bought a watch. She lied that it's for her friend. But when he asked the name of her friend she fumbled to find one name.

"Manlo ke yeh mere liye layi ho" He neared her. She steps back nodding no.

"Kyun kar rahi ho aisa mere saath, please I want to know the reason behind your rejection" Yash gripped her shoulders. He just can't understand why she rejected him.

"Because you deserve better, truth is I'm not pure, I'm used" She pushed him away.

"Aapko mujhse ghin nahi aati" She cried. Her words stunned him.

"Aarti!" He shouted at her.

"How can you say something like this about yourself?" He held her face. She was crying looking down.

"I'm a prostitute, you should not touch me" She was wriggling in his hold while just repeating Manik's mean words.

"These words can't be yours, tell me who told you all this?" He was shocked. Tears continued to flow down her cheeks but she didn't say a word more.

"I'll find that person who told you all these mean things, and I swear Aarti he will pay for each and every tear of yours" He promised her, his own eyes becoming moist to see her so broken.

"Aur mujhe koi fark nahi padta tumhare past se" He made her face him.

"Suna tumne, pyaar karta hoon main tumse aur humesha karta rahunga" He said looking into her wet eyes. She hugged him hard giving up to her heart.

*******

Next day Aarti was sitting in her room alone so Yash decided to take her out and in the evening he convinced her to come with him. They went to a nightclub. Later Yash noticed that Aarti is uncomfortable, almost looking stressed.

"What happened?" Yash asked. She looked down and pretended to pick her drink glass. Meanwhile they move out and she is holding her stomach. He caresses his forehead finally getting what's her problem.

"Let's go" He picked her up.

"Yash" she was surprised. Yash ignored her and walked out.

"Please put me down." She told him as they reached the parking lot.

"Shut up, jab bolna chahiye tab toh bolti nahi ho" He glared at her. She looked down at his chest with a small face. He drove them to house. Aarti changed and lay in bed. Soon Yash entered her room with a tray of food which Aarti had because she needed to take medicine. As she slept, Yash put an extra blanket on her and left her room.

Next morning she was cranky.

"What do you want?" Yash asked if she was craving for something, she is a foodie girl and likes to have a lot of things during these days. She kept quiet which irritated Yash, she was never like this, he hates this side of her where she keeps everything to herself.

"Speak" He raised voice. Her eyes filled up. He closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry" He sat on the bed. She hit him as he tried to hold her.

"You don't love me anymore" She cries.

"How I tell you how much I love you" He grabbed her in his arms only to hug her tightly as she continued to wriggle.

"Bolo kya khana hai" He cleaned her face dearly as she calmed down.

"Chocolate ice cream." She told him.

"What? No way" He glared at her for even thinking about having ice cream in this weather. She was almost ready to cry again.

"Alright" He gave up and ordered for her. Meanwhile she was all lost cherishing her fav ice cream. Yash was standing near the sofa which is placed near the fireplace. Soon she also sat on the sofa, Yash wrapped a shawl around her. She smiled and shifted close to him.

"Are you happy now?" He asked, holding her closer. She nods, raising her head only to notice how close they're. She can feel his warm breath on her face. He smoothed her hair dearly, his gaze shifted to her pink lips. She gripped his brown jacket as he closed the distance and kissed her slowly. The shawl slipped away as his hands went around her waist, and pulled her near. She responds back with somewhat hunger. He grabs her back of neck and explores her sweet mouth which tasted like chocolate. She fist his thick hair as he lowered on her back. Aarti cried with pain when Yash put his weight on her. He pulled away confused. She was holding her stomach.

"I'm really very sorry" He has almost forgotten that she is on her period.

"It's okay" She said, feeling embarrassed for being horny, she just realised how desperate they're for each other.

"I have some work" Yash gives an excuse getting shy knowing if it was her normal days he wouldn't have stopped here. She nods blushing. He left the room with a smile on his face.

In the evening was their flight back to Italy.

*********

Two days later Yash was in a meeting when Aarti stood to give a file. That's when the client got more interested in her more than the meeting. He praised her ideas and asked her to join his company. Aarti smiled uncomfortably as he got comfortable while flirting with her. Yash was getting irritated. As soon as the meeting got over Yash stormed out. Seeing his mood off, Aarti too follows him. He entered his cabin and loosened his tie.

"Are you alright?" Aarti asks.

"So I'm supposed to be alright with a guy flirting with you" Yash turns around only to shoot her a deadly glare. She made a baby face.

"Listen to me carefully, mujhe bilkul pasand nahi ke koi aur tumhein dekhe bhi'' He neared her dangerously. She steps back and her back hits the wall. She looked back then at Yash.

"Did you get it?" He held her hand only to move them up, which made her nervous. She nods meekly as he holds her both hands over her head. He leaned into her neck.

"Hmm" she moaned, freeing her hand from his hold as he kissed her whole neck passionately. His wide palm came in contact with her bare waist, between the gape of her shirt and pant. Getting out of control she broke his shirt buttons. He desperately bite her collarbone. Someone knocked on the door.

"Yash" she almost cried and gripped his shirt collar.

"Shhh" He silenced her by slamming his lips on her pink ones. They kissed with hunger and need. Another knock came. Yash slowly releases her lips then straightens her clothes and hair. She was looking down with her wet eyes. She was never this weak in front of her body but with Yash it's all unreal. After all he is her first, her teenage crush and now her love.

"My baby" Yash pulled her into his arms.

"Sorry" she raised head.

"Never be sorry about your feelings, you know I feel the same" he dearly cupped her face. He knows what she is experiencing at this moment but to their bad luck it is the office.

"Tum yahan betho" He made her sit on a sofa.

*********

Later Aarti was going to the canteen and Manik bumped into her.

"Stay away from me" He pushed her disgustingly. Aarti fell back and hit her head with a counter. Yash who returned from a meeting saw the scene.

"Aarti" He supported her and saw her wound.

"You basta**" He turned toward Manik only to punch him hard in the face, Manik fell back holding his bleeding nose but that was not enough because Yash kicked him in the stomach with pure hatred, Manik cried curling into a ball. Everyone gathers to see Yash in so much anger.

"Yash please no" Aarti comes in front to calm him.

"How dare he" Yash was still in so much rage. Aarti touch his face, he lost his mind by this incident what will he do to Manik if he find out that Manik is the reason why she tried to suicide.

"Tumhe kitni chot lagi hai" Yash touched her forehead. She hissed in pain. He pulled her to his cabin then cleaned her wound.

"Let's go, I'll drop you home" He got up and picked his car key.

"Yash I'm fine" Aarti insists.

"I need no argument" He grabbed her hand and took her out. Aarti sat in his car with a grumpy face.

"Jab tum aise naraz hoti ho na toh bada pyar aata hai mujhe tumpe" He said.

"You never listen to me aur kehte ho pyar aata hai." She frowned.

"Ouch you hurt me baby, I can give my life for you" He faked being hurt which made her smile. His thumb caressed her cheek then he leaned and kissed her cheek. She closed eyes.

"Now can we go?" He asked. She nodded a little shy.

At the apartment Yash made two coffees for them Aarti was sitting on the balcony. Yash took a seat and gave Aarti a mug.

"Aap nahi hote toh mera kya hota?" She said.

"Tum nahi hoti toh main kahan hota" He replied. She smiled moving into his arms. Soon Yash picked her up and took her into the room. He dropped her on the bed and sat there.

"Why was Manik behaving like that?" He asked.

"I revealed my past to him." She said. He was surprised.

"When?" He then recalled her condition of that night.

"I'll kill him" He got up in rage.

"Yash" she held his hand and pulled him near.

"I'm sorry" he apologized and remembered he was the one who asked her to give Manik a chance as he thought he is a nice guy.

"I brought that worthless guy in your life" He looked at her in regret. She touched his face, not understanding how to tell him that his intention was pure. He just wanted her to be happy and experience life.

"Agar tumhe kuch ho jata..." he looked at her with his moist eyes. She sat and cupped his face in short words.

"I'm fine" She simply kissed him. He closed his eyes and slipped his fingers into her hair only to kiss her back pouring all his worry and anxiety.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." She replied. He pulled back, getting surprised and happy.

"Haan bahut pyaar karti hoon aapse" She smiled. He hugged her hard with delight that she finally confessed her love.

*******

Next day Manik was in a revenge mood so he told everyone in the office about Aarti's past. When Aarti comes out of her cabin people start murmuring looking at her, some guys' comments were too cheap. Aarti was in tears feeling ashamed as girls surrounded her. One of the guy held her hand with an evil grin. That's how Yash saw it. He roared in anger. The guy instantly left her hand. Aarti was about to run out holding back her tears but Yash stopped her.

"Sharm tumhe nahi in sabko aani chahiye Aarti" He said looking at everyone disgustingly. One girl murmurs that he doesn't know the truth, that's why he is still talking to her.

"I know more than needed" He felt disgusted at that girl mentality.

"Chalo" He wrapped a hand around Aarti's back and took her out thinking of dealing with these sick people later.

At Ishita's apartment Aarti was sitting on the sofa lost, everything again running in her mind. Yash sat near her. She looked at him and came into his arms for some peace.

"Main humesha tumhare sath hoon" He said, rubbing her back.

"I know Yash but you don't deserve to burden with my responsibility, my past is my, why should you fight with everybody." She thought.

"I won't let it affect your life, you deserve all the happiness of the world not to be stressed about me" She fell asleep perhaps last time in his arms. Yash made her lay on bed then left the apartment only to thrash Manik before firing him from the job along with some of the guys who were harassing Aarti.

*******

Next morning Ishita finds Aarti missing. She searched the whole apartment then called Yash. Yash reached there and searched for her everywhere but there was no sign of her. Even her clothes and passport are missing.

Ishita went with Yash to file a police complaint. Yash took his car and went to look for her by himself. His eyes were hungrily wandering everywhere.

5 days passed and the police failed to find her but they got information from the airport that she had taken a flight for bhopal.
