PART-15
In just a flick of second everything got changed, Arpi was more then angry with Avdhesh and now she was regula at collage, behind her Ria use to visit Avdhesh at home and gave him updates about collage and specially about compition practice sessions as preps were taking pace their teacher was making his mind for final pair , who would represent their collage. Days start to fly like wind, Arpita was regular for collage,classes and also for practice sessions but she never neglected Avdhesh's look after as she said to Ria, she nursed Avdhesh day and night but without any single word, she was silent like her voice has gone, her silence was painful for Avdhesh but his ego and more then that his anger always stopped him from uttering any single word in her presence which could be enough to break the ice clustering in their cute warm lovefilled relation, anger as she had shouted at him in front of everyone, as she was mad at him when he was in bed with a plastered leg, as she was going for dance compition when he can't be with her, as she was participating not just because she want but just because he didn't' want her to participate, as she was practicing. Almost a week passed like that….they both were suffering the pain but no one was ready to accept it…at one night before sleeping Arpita came to Avdhesh's room to give his medicines.she placed the jug of water on his side table, sits by side of it, pulled out his medicines from drawer and stretched it toward him without a word while he was studying in his bed in side lamp' s light-"Arpi are you OK?"
Arpita-"What?...take your medicines it's not your concern to know how am i?"
Avdhesh-"Stop it now…you are giving me wrong medicines…it's my morning doze…where is your mind?"
Arpita threw the medicines on Avdhesh, her eyes get filled with tears –"If you can take your medicines then what the hell am I doing here.and why should you care where is my mind…as if you care about me."
And she ran out of his room sobbing bitterly. Avdhesh felt realy bad as it was clear for him that she was hurt but he found himself helpless as because of his plastered leg he can hardly move in bed, he had a stick by his bed side with which help he recently started to walk a bit in day. He tried to reach it but it was bit away from his reach so he thought to leave the thought and stay at his place, He switched off his side lamp and tried to sleep but when he closed his eyes , tear filled eyes of Arpita appeared in front of him, He found himself helpless once again. This time he determined himself and tried hard for stick and got it. With small steps he managed to step down from stairs as it was his wish to stay in his terrace room. He reached his old room, which now belongs to Arpita,He wanted to knock at it but then he thought about her anger and his own self respect –"What are you doing Avdhesh, this time its her mistake, when she knew well that it was an accident then how can she blame you or Ria or anyone for it…and about Suraj…she is practicing with him, agar tumhari thodi bhi chinta hoti to aisa na karti." His mind said to him and he stepped back and turned to get back to his room.
"uh.."
He had hardly taken a step and her sob filled his heart with pain. Without any second thought He pushed the door and for his surprise, it was n't locked either, the door banged with wall and he found Arpita crying hard with the pillow in her arms. Arpita looked up at him and quickly sits back and wiped her tears.
Arpita (still hugging the pillow)-"what is this Avdhesh? Have you forgotten your manners? This room belongs to a girl now. And for your kind information its Me. Can't you knock it before breaking it like this.?"
Avdhesh-"Arpi..tu ro rahi hai? What happened? Is there everything OK at collage?"
Arpita-"tumhe kya fark padta hai? Tum to apni tang tudwa ke baithe ho naa…yahan kyun aaye ho?"
Avdhesh stepped in and sits next to her, held her by shoulder, lightly-"Arpi…what happened? Why are you crying?"
Arpita starts to cry bitterly once again and this time hugged him hard and cried a lot…her tears, sobbs were making Avdhesh restless, his eyes turn red with pain and get filled with tear-"Arpi…" only one name flashed in his mind who can hurt her behind him "Suraj ne kuch kiya?"
Arpita pushed him hard and get saperat from him, she turned face away from him and replied in rejection.
"Stop it Avi…Suraj,Ria,RV….can't you think above them…am crying because of you."
Avdhesh felt strange at her reply-"ME! But maine kya kiya?"
Arpita-"bar bar Suraj Suraj ya Ria Ria…where do I stand Avi? Meri koi importance hai ke nahi…maine kya wish kit hi..just to participate in that collage competition ….and you…tumne vo bhi mana kar diya."
Avdhesh-"but you are participating naa…"
Arpita-"Yes I am…but how! And on which cost?...main din bhar collage me Suraj ke saath practice karti hun…but my mind and heart is stucked here with you…mean how can I…when you are here lying in pain….fir shaam ko Sir ka remark…'try a bit more Arpita ..you can do better….you can match with Suraj' and now…I need to attend more practice sessions…just because I don't have nice chemistry with Suraj."
Avdhesh-"Extra practice sessions..but what about your classes?"
Arpi-"extra sessions evening me hain….that's why I am crying…abhi to classes ke baad main ghar aa jaati hun..tumhare aas paas hoti hun..but kal se…" she looked up at him with tear filled eyes, their eyes met and for next few seconds they were lost in their own world…Avdhesh felt as he was listening beats of two hearts in rhythm , he felt like heaven..that feeling was strange yet pleasing…a drop of tear rolled down at her cheek and broke their eye lock, Avdhesh smiled unknowingly to himself.
-"ye sab rona dhona sirf mere liye?"
Arpi-"you are laughing….hans lo hans lo jab mujhe chot lagegi tab dekhungi tumhara reaction kya hoga."
Avdhesh-"stop it Arpi…tumhe kuch kyun hoga…mere hote..main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga kabhi nahi…and about your problem…I can't help to improve your chemistry with that Suraj…but I can do one thing for you."
Arpi-"What?"
Avdhesh-"wait a sec.." he stood up and reached to a drawer, pulled it and took the sessior out, and started to cut his plaster himself.
Arpita ran to him and held his hand to stop him from doing that-"What are you doing Avi…"
"dikhai nahi deta kya…plaster kaat raha hun…ab plastered leg le ke to tere saath practice pe nahi chal sakta naa!"
Arpi-"What? Are you coming with me on sessions?"
Avi-"le..ab written me dun kya?"
Arpi-"but how will you..doc me tumhe rest karne ko kaha hai…"
Avi-"sheee….doc ne kya kaha hai, kya nahi..i don't care…I will do what I want. And tight now I want to get rid of this plaster"
Arpi-"but…mere liye…"
Avi-"Nahi..its not for you…its because I don't want to take chance by leaving you alone with that guy" Arpita narrowed her eye brows at his words, "Haha…look at your face Arpi…idiot…by the way ek baat bata…ye saari ladkiyan pillow ko hi hug kar ke kyun roti hain?"
Arpi-"Saari ladkiyan? What do you mean by that…kitni ladkiyeon ko aise rote dekha hai tumne?"
Avi-"wait let me count.." and he strted to pretend to count on his finger tips.
Arpi-"Haa…you scoundrel…" and she starts punching him.
Avi-"Oh…shee…my leg my leg…"
By now he has cut off his plaster, his cries made her panic.
Arpi-"kya hua ..sit here…" she made him sit on bed "told you naa…but you never listens to me…ab dard ho raha hai naa..you sit here main Baba ko leke aati hun…abhi docter ke paas chalet hain."
Avdhesh held her hand and pulled her back to sit in front of him-"buddu.. I was teasing you…am fine..koi dard vard nahi h raha…am perfectly fine now…"
Arpi-"sacchi…swear on me.."
Avi-"aree..don't you trust me!...acha…fact is…thoda pain hai but zyada nahi… I can come with you…wish I could participate too…but seems I can't…"
Arpi-"if you will come with me…that will be enough for me…"
Avi-"I am always with you…"
They shared a sweet smile and Avdhesh assured her for his support.
