LOVE BY CHANCE- ARJUN Story EPILOGUE PART 1 - Page 4

Arjun get out from that bungalow and left by Sahil's car.Naina was almost sleeping that moment. He took her off from the car and laid her in his bed. Arjun took her jacket off and saw that her dress was still wet. But he had nothing to do. He covered her by a blanket. And sat beside her head. Arjun gazed at her face, there was an innocence, no arrogance anywhere. He touched her forehead, tried to feel her. He was still staring at her. After some times Arjun also fall asleep.

It was almost 6AM, suddenly Naina woke up and saw that Arjun was sitting beside her and his hand was on her forehead. Atfirst she was surprised, she couldn't remember anything. She tried to sit up on bed.

Arjun felt something and he also opened his eyes, "Good morning."

Naina: Main yaha kaise? Last night I was in hostel..

Arjun: Don't u remember anything? Kal raat kya hua tha.. (Eagerly he saw in her eyes)

(After some silence) Naina (very calmly): yes.. Last night I was in hostel room, 4boys came there...aur...aur uske baad se sab kuch saaf yaad nahi. Mujhe kahipe le jaya gaya tha.

She got a smell of alcohol, she smelt her dress. There was a strong alcohol smell. (Surprisingly) Naina: Alcohol ki smell.. But I don't drink.

Arjun : Yup.. U don't.. Am telling u, what happened actually in last night. Sid,Rahul,Raushan and Sahil kidnapped u from ur room, and took u to Sahil's bungalow. They wanted to take revenge, coz u slapped me that day. They tried to do smthng wrong with u, Raushan stopped them, but they didn't. Then Raushan called me. I was there to rescue u. and now u r here..

Naina: Revenge? Ek thappad k jawab me ye sab? Aur vo thappad to main tumhe mari thi na. Then why should they do this to me? Aur tum kyun daya dikha rahe ho mujhpe? Kya chahte ho?Vo log mujhe kidnap karke abuse karna chahte the aur tum apne ghar me lake karna chahte ho? Farq kaise hoga, dost ho na tum sab. (she was shivering in anger and in the same time she was crying also).

Arjun: No I have no intention to hurt u. Agar aisa kuch hota to puri raat thi mere pas, tum so rahe the, is situation me kuch karna mere liye zyada asan th ana? Aur thappad tum mujhe mare ho, they have no right to do anything with u. Hey Naina, pls don't cry.Pls

Arjun held her face and (quietly) "shhh...pls chup ho jao. Pls don't cry..Pls naina...Pls." He wiped off her tears and staring in her eyes. He was almost lost in her eyes' depth. Suddenly he realized that and control himself.. "Dekho Naina, mujhe pata nahi kyun par jab tum mujhe thappad mari thi tab bhi main kuch nahi kiya..Haan mujhe bohot gussa aya tha. Tumhari jagah koi aur hoti to shayad vahi kuch kar deta main. Tumhari iin ankho me kuch hai,which stopped me to do anything."

Naina was surprised to hear these words from him; she never expected such a thing from him. Naina touched his hand, Arjun understood and removed his hand and got up from bed.

Naina: I wanna go back to hostel.

Arjun: Abhi? Aise kaise ja sakti ho? Tumhare kapde..

Naina: Par..Mere pas koi extra dress nahi hai. (she had a question on her face)

Arjun: Wait.. (He brought a trouser and a full sleeve shirt for her.)

Naina (surprisingly): Yeee... Main ye pahenungi? Main ye kaise pahen sakti hu?

Arjun: Ok.. no probs..Tum aise hi jana chahti ho? Ya phir kapde utar k jaogi? Choice is urs.

Naina opened her mouth to say something,but she couldn't. She took that trouser n shirt and went to the washroom. Arjun also left the room. After half n hour, Arjun came there with 2cups of coffee. But Naina was not there, wash room was still locked. He knocked the door and called Naina, "hey naina..come out."

(In a huge hesitation) I can't get out like this..

Arjun: open the door..and come out quickly

Naina opened the door and stepped out from the washroom with a huge awkwardness. She stood still in the same place, Arjun turned to her. Automatically a smile came on his face. Naina lied down her face, she felt so shy. Arjun came to her and took up her 1hand and smiled and point that the shirt sleeve is so loose. Naina: It doesn't fit on me. Arjun silently stopped her and folded the sleeves. "Ho gaya na? aab dekhne do mujhe, how are u looking in my cloths." Arjun stepped back and watched her at a glance. "Not bad ma'm.. Looking nice. Aap to ladko k kapde me bhi kafi khubsurat lagti hai." Naina's face was turning red, "I know how I am looking iin this dress, like a joker."

Arjun smilled and releaved to see that Naina was quite normal now. "Will have a cup of coffee with me ma'm? Can I have the honour pls?" and placed the cups to her.

Naina smilled and took a cup. Arjun: Yehi ek chiz banana ata hai mujhe.

Naina sipped it and said,"its perfect morning coffee."

Arjun: Thank u ma'm. Its all my pleasure.

Naina: Thank u Arjun.

Arjun: Kaha na its all my pleasure

Naina: Not only for this coffee. Thanks for everything. Aur mere thappad marne k bad bhi Kalse tum mere liye job hi kuch kiya.. Am grateful to u.

Arjun: Sorry to mujhe kahena chahiye. That was my fault,us ladki k sath main jo kuch bhi kiya.. On ur side u r right. Aur ye mere zindegi me paheli hua k mujhe koi kisi kam karne se roka, mujhpe sabke samne hath uthaya hai. Shayad mere liye ye zaruri tha. Bachpan se...

That moment Raushan called on Arjun's phone."Bhai Naina kaisi hai?"

Arjun (looked at Naina): Thik hai.

Raushan: Here is a bad news bhai.kal raat ki incident ko leke Sid rahul aur sahil bohot gusse me hai. Keep Naina safe, aur tub hi sambhalke rahena. They have planned something.

Arjun:What? They have planned to hurt us? Do they forget am their friend? Vo sab galti karne ja rahe the, main kal waha nahi pohouchta to aaj pata nahi kya ho jata. I saved u all from a mishap. Don't u understand?

Raushan: I know yaar.. I will inform u time to time. Don't worry, just take care.

Naina: What happened? Phir se kuch hua kya?

Arjun was lost in thought. Naina touched his shoulder, Arjun looked at her. "What happened?"

Arjun (tried to bring smile): Nothing.. Kuch bhi to nahi.bas Raushan was asking about your health.

Naina: Don't lie to to me. Tumhare chehre pe padeshani saaf nazar aa rahi hai. Aur tum bol rahe ho k kuch nahi. Tell me..

Arjun: Sid sahil n Rahul kuch plan kar raha hai. Tum pls aaj hostel wapas mat jao.

Naina: Hostel na jau? To kaha jau?

Arjun: Atleast aaj k liye yaha rahe jao. Pls Naina. Kal ke baad se I cant believe them anymore.

Naina: Par..kisise darr k main yaha rahe jau?

Arjun: Pls Naina. Am not harmful. Tum yaha bilkul mehfuz rahogi.

HE went to Naina and hold her hand,"Pls Naina. Believe me. Iske baad vo log kya karenge pata nahi, aaj hostel bhi khali hai.Aur main tumhare sath hostel me jake nahi rahe sakta. Pls b practical, and try to understand me."

Naina (took a deep breath): Ok.. But aise kab tak chalega?

Arjun(having a mischievous smile): If u want u can stay here forever .

Then the door bell rang. Arjun: Tum bahar mat aana.Stay here.

Arjun opened the door, T was there..She hugged him, "Hii... Aru.. Good morning baby."

Arjun: What r u doing here? Leave me..

T: Ohho baby.. aaj to Sunday hai,lets go for a long drive..or have a wild holiday?? What say.

Arjun: Nothing ..Am quite busy today. Tumhe aur koi kaam nahi hai?

T: Ohho baby.. Why r u getting so irritated? Yaha nahi,am going to ur room.

Arjun(Quickly): No..stop T..mere room me nahi.its too messy.

T: Koi baat nahi.i ll mk it up.

T entered in the room,and surprised by seeing that someone was standing by the window, "Hey who's there?"

Naina turned to her. T was shocked. Arjun was behind her. "Hey u...Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho? Arjun, ye stupid bahenji yaha kya kar rahi hai?"She went to her and said "what r u wearing?How dare u to wear Arjun's outfit? Whats this Arjun? How dare she?Aur sidha bedroom tak pohouch gayi?"

Arjun:Shut up T.. stop talking non sense. Naina mere sath yaha aayi hai. Aur vo tum jaisi nahi hai k zabardasti kisike bhi bedroom me aajaye. Now u may leave.

T was still there.Arjun(strongly):I said to u to leave T..

Naina was shocked,she never ever thought anything like this happened to her. She was just lost. Arjun quickly ran to her, "Sorry Naina.. am extremely sorry. Ye T ko lagta hai k mere zindegi me sirf uska haq hai.Hey Naina kuch kaho na..Naina???"

Naina looked at him in blank eyes, "pata hai Arjun, yaha ane se pahele mere zindegi me ek alag sa dukh tha. Bachpan se akeli rahi hu.. Socha cllg me jaungi, kuch khas dost banenge, alaf life hogi.. Kabhi nahi socha k pahele hi din se ye college meri zindegi badal degi,aur vo bhi iss tarah se. Sayad galti meri hai, kuch zyada hi expectations leke ayi thi. Accha sila mila.." (sigh)

Arjun also had no words to say. They both were silent.
