Chapter 19

"Go and check if chhote sahab wake up, it's his medicine time" In the evening the head servant called a maid. She nods, taking a milk glass and leaves upstairs. Entering the room she kept the tray on the table and stood there shocked when her gaze fell on Yash. He stirred in his sleep as if he could feel her presence. She touched his face in concern.

"What you did to yourself" Her eyes turn moist seeing that bandage on his forehead. He snuggled more into her touch. She sat near him, noticing dark circles under his eyes. He slowly open eyes and sees her face so close to him.

"Aarti" It felt like a dream so he lifted hand to touch her face. Aarti nods head smiling, holding his weak hand and resting on her cheek. His eyes become wet as his thumb caresses her cheek realizing that she is here for real. He tries to sit but she stops him.

"No please you lay down" She held his shoulders in concern.

"I'm sorry" He spoke in his low voice.

"Main tumhare paas nahi tha jab tumhe meri sabse jyada zarurat thi" A lone tear rolled down his cheek.

"You were always with me" She cleaned his face.

"No, now I get I failed to protect you" He grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers asking forgiveness. She can feel that he has come to know something.

"My Yash can never fail but our destiny played a dirty game" Aarti says.

"See what you did to yourself in my absence" She caressed his hair dearly.

"Because you were not here to take care of me" He complained.

"Don't lie, when did I take care of you? it's you who took my responsibility.'' She remembered those days. He was staring at her with moist eyes. She looked away and her gaze fell on his medicine.

"See, you need to take your medicine" She picked the food plate and made him sit. He leaned back feeling weakness. She supported him and fed him, then gave him medicine. Soon Yash falls asleep holding her hand in fear of losing her again. Aarti lay head on his chest feeling peace after so long. Someone said correctly that home can be a person. He is her home, no matter where she goes but she gets peace with him only. She recalls how she came to Scindia mansion.

Flashback…

A month ago…

Aarti steps down from a taxi in front of her home only to find a lock there. Tears blurred her eyes with the thought of her mother not being with her anymore. She left the place just lost in the past, remembering those days which she spent with her maa. She was crossing the road with a guilt in heart that she is the reason for her mother's death. She was in grief when a car hit her and she fell on the road yelling in pain. The lady driver moved out and so did the owner.

"Beta, are you alright?" The old man asked, then scolded his driver for driving so carelessly. Aarti looked up at the tall olderly man. As the driver apologies.

"You got injured" The man looked at Aarti's hand where she got some wounds.

"Please come, I will drop you off at a nearby clinic." He asks as Aarti got up with the help of driver and picked her bag. The driver lady also insists, feeling guilty. Aarti gives up and the driver opens the car front door for her. Meanwhile, the car stopped in front of a clinic, and the lady went inside for Aarti treatment.

"You're new in Bhopal?" That driver asked. Aarti thought for a while before nodding, she looked down because this is a lie. Aarti soon realized that now she needed a house to live and also a job to survive in this city. So she told her problem. They went out where the car was parked.

"Beta how are you feeling now?" The tall man asked.

"Much better." Aarti smiled at him.

"Sir" Lady told the man about Aarti.

"I don't know if I can give you any job but we need one more cook in our mansion, if you wish to do" He told her. Aarti's face lights up. That at least she has a job now.

Meanwhile they come to the mansion. Aarti stepped out of the car and saw the mansion's name. Scindia Niwas. She was more mesmerized by the beauty of the mansion when they stepped inside.

"I'm Suraj Scindia" He finally introduced himself. Aarti smiled.

"Aarti Dubey" She folded hands. Soon a servant came to the hall and showed Aarti servant room where she found some more people who work in this mansion. There is one more girl of her age who lives with her father. They gelled soon. In the evening a servant asked Aarti to clean their chhote saheb bedroom.

"But I'm not a maid?" Aarti tries to tell her that she is a cook. That old woman insists that she is not feeling good today. Aarti nods, understanding her problem. She reached the bedroom. It's magnificent, every little thing screaming royalty. She looked around only to find a huge picture of Yash hanging behind the bed on a grey colour wall.

"Yash" She walked toward the picture, actually stunned. This reminded her that Yash is not Jay Khurana's son but Radha's ex-husband's son.

"Yash Suraj Scindia" She murmurs, can't believe that her destiny again brings her close to Yash. For a moment she thought of leaving this mansion but somewhere her heart stopped her.

"Why god, why are you playing with my feelings? Do we really belong together or is it just my silly heart finding excuse" She thought.

"I'll leave this mansion when I'll find a new job" She made up her mind and began to clean the whole room with all love, touching all the things knowing they had Yash touches. She opened his wardrobe and admired his fashionable clothes which had his fragrance for her surprise. His books smell like a fresh flower to her. She hits her own head knowing she is just being deewani.

In the Night she was finding it hard to sleep in the servant room. She went out thinking it's a new place that's why she is not getting sleep. But soon her gaze fell on Yash's bedroom window. She knows whether she accepts it or not but she is missing him, his face, his voice, his fragrance and the whole of him.

Next morning Suraj found Aarti in Yash's bedroom. Aarti was embarrassed. Suraj was surprised to see Yash's shirt in her hand.

"Beta tum yahan?" He asked sweetly.

"Ji woh mujhe kal neend nahi aarahi thi..'' she put shirt on the bed and stood there looking down nervously thinking what if he doesn't like that she was here the whole night.

"It's okay nayi jagah hai na, you can sleep here if this makes you comfortable" He says even though he is very possessive about his son's things but for some reason he feels like she deserves all the care.

"By the way, the room looks so good now, great work." He praised her,

"Thanks sir, it's my pleasure" she smiled at him then her gaze shifted to Yash's huge picture. Suraj notices it the way she is looking at that picture.

"Do you know Yash?" He asked.

"No…" she fumbled, being caught like this.

"Oh so you like him now?" He teased her.

"No sir" She was so shy. Suraj laughed and went away.

"Aap mujhe pagal kardoge" She pick Yash shirt and hide face into it.

Back to the present…

In the morning Yash wakes up only to remember that Aarti was with him last night. He looked everywhere in the room but she was nowhere. He ran out of room madly looking for her. Servants asked him who he was looking for.

"Aarti, where is she?" He looked at everyone as all the servants stood in line in front of him.

"Yash beta" Suraj came downstairs when a maid informed him that Yash was asking about some girl.

"Bauji last night Aarti came to my room." Yash told him happily.

"What?" Suraj looked at him confused.

"Yes, where is she now?" Yash asked but nobody answered.

"Where is she?" Yash roared, getting mad. All maids and servants get scared.

"Beta I guess she is here somewhere, we will search for her, you calm down" Suraj comes near him.

"No, I want to see her now" Yash was not ready to listen to anything.

"Beta" Suraj holds his shoulders.

"Please i beg you" Yash's voice turned teary realizing that she again left him. Suraj hugged him feeling helpless.

"She is so innocent, I want to keep her safe away from all those evil people" Yash tell. Suraj rubs his back.
