Hello All !!

Chapter 20 -Aftermath

Past:

Riya Dutta was a calm person always; she could deal with every situation or challenge that was thrown to her. During the whole Abhi fiasco also, never did she allow anything to affect her work but still there are things you aren't prepared for and today were one of those situations.

She was woke up feeling warm, the warmth that spread through her and made her feel like everything will be well before it hit her hard , it was Arjun and she was in his arms and in his house.

She slowly opened her eyes and blinked against the light that hit her hoping that it was all her dream, turning around the site that met her made her gasp

He was sleeping oblivious to the turmoil she was going through .It wasn't the first time she had observed him while sleeping but yesterday night had changed the equations between them . Waking up next to him that morning was a mixed emotion. She felt - guilt, embarrassment as well as tinge happiness.

"Crap ! She slept with Arjun Suryakant Rawte, her boss "

She jumped out of the bed at first waking up Arjun along with her.

"I never thought a day would come that a women will be running of my bed, and they think I am handsome "

Arjun was tensed, he didn't regret any moment of yesterday but he didn't want her to regret the same .He wanted to cut through the tense atmosphere which was slowly enveloping the room.

"I wasn't jumping away….I mean I was just-" Riya stuttered for the first time before shaking her head,

"I just don't know what to say or to do "

Arjun just smiled "Well….I guess not running away isn't good"

Riya just gave an awkward smile, feeling the embarrassment of the moment.

"Look, I just want to say sorry. I mean whatever happened between us yesterday, I was upset and……. Whatever has happened has happened and I don't want that you should have any guilt about it.

"Do you feel guilty about it Riya "

"What I feel is out of question Arjun, it has been that for a while

"Stop It Riya"

"Whatever happened, I knew about the consequences and still went ahead and if anyone is to be blamed then I feel that I might have taken advantage of your vulnerable state."

"No!" She immediately protested,

"It was me Arjun all along, I could have said a no, I could have stopped us but I didn't .I was I was distraught but none of this is your fault in anyway. I can't cry and blame it on you for my actions"

Arjun beamed at the women he loved- she was brave and honest.

"Riya ….I love you. The last night was special for me in fact very special but I know that you don't feel the same way, neither for me nor for yesterday.

For the first time in the conversation she looked away, it was just a week before when he had voiced out his feelings and just a day when she had broken up with Abhi and yet she slept with him.

"Was she that type of girl "

She thought with sadness and anger at herself as she sat down on her bed.

To a third person it would seem that she just moved from one boy to another but was it all that simple or was it all so complicated .Whole life had she thought herself to be strong but in that moment she felt helpless . She looked at Arjun who sat in front of her holding his breath as if his life depended on it.

"When had she become so important to him, the one who was important to her left and the one she had never thought was there for her "

"Arjun, being honest is important to me in any relationship. My beliefs are the only reason that I can't lie to you and neither do I want to hurt you. You are special to me in more than one ways and I do care about you. You have been my mentor and guide in ETF and my admiration is not invisible but I don't love you.

Silence prevailed between them for while as lot had been said and done.

Arjun felt the twinge of pain of the truth he already knew, "I know Riya "

"Can we please still stay as friends, I don't want to lose that Arjun "

"You will never lose my friendship Riya, but can you give us a chance "

She couldn't bring herself to say no to him but even couldn't agree to him and thus she left the conversation hanging.

Arjun knew that she wouldn't reply to him, not yet but after today he was sure that it was more than friendship but she was yet to realize it or she was bound to Abhi and couldn't accept the fact. Now that he was out of the picture he would never let Riya be away from him at any cost .

"Justice Choudhary",

"ACP Rawte, how can I help you "

"It's not about you helping me but the other way round Mr Choudhary "

"What do you have to offer Arjun "

"I am ready to sponsor Abhi scholarship, he can do away with the loan "

"And"

"Make sure your son stays out of my way now "

"It's a deal Arjun, and don't worry Abhi would never know how this money came "

The phone died the next instance, Arjun felt guilty for once twisting his beliefs but he couldn't help himself .After last night things and changed, his control walked on a thin thread and above all Riya hadn't given a nod on thinking about them . He couldn't let her go away now not when he was so close to her.

Riya walked into an empty home, her dad was away this morning. As she passed along the path to her room she smiled at everyone and mot a single soul could know what was she going through. Once in the confines of her room then only she allowed the tears to flow freely

What had she done and what would happen now, how will she face him?

She had lost again and this time she had lost herself to a man who loved her but she didn't .The burden of this guilt will difficult to bear especially when she would have to face him…

Chapter 21- Revelations

PRESENT

Nothing had changes in the house even after so many years as she walked past the gates. She had walked in as a child and then a teenager and then the final time she walked out of this house .That was the last time Riya Dutta had entered the house and after 2 years now it was Mrs. Arjun Rawte who was entering the house

"Riya, what brings you here " Surprise would be an understatement for him

"Abhi, why did u not trust back then "

One simple question that had the power to change all the equations.

She wasn't the Riya he knew but she more looked like Arjun's Riya

"After all what Arjun did to separate us you are asking me why didn't I trust you "

"Let me know then Abhi what all he did, I also want to hear from you "

"Why do ask all this now Riya, will it make any difference "

"No it will not Abhi, but it will help me to know "

"You are not in a hurry right as it will take time"

When I left for US I had thought that you actually loved Arjun, and I am really sorry for that.

The two years I had just concentrated on myself and worked towards making a successful future , a dream that we saw in the childhood .

After achieving everything I wanted to come back but in the back of my mind ,it would still haunt me that you were married to him and I had finally accepted that you had loved him only and what we had was just a dream which I was living in

He stopped and looked at Riya to gauge her reactions but it didn't give away anything

"I had come to know that you had gulped the bacteria , it was all over the papers .I had wanted to come to meet you then but couldn't

"I didn't you need then Abhi, I had the one with me "

"I know that Riya you guys got married soon after that "

"Abhi, you still didn't answer my question – WHY DIDN'T U TRUST ME BACK THEN stressing on each word

He sighed!!

Arjun was everything that I could never be Riya. He was perfect for you and you were spending way too much of time with him. He was equal to you in every aspect

"It never mattered to me Abhi you knew that "

"It did to me Riya , it really did "

"I knew that he loved you the instant I first saw, I tried to warn you also but you didn't listen. I was there in Shimla and saw you both.

"How much you don't want to admit but you were attracted to him, I had tried to talk to you and then those media news not once didn't u clear everything in media but of course it was Arjun who didn't let you clear it "

"Even when I came to talk to you that day, the day when he said that he loved you also I saw him kissing your forehead and I was angry that you didn't shove him away but I didn't had any idea of what you were going through "

"Finally the biggest truth that I stumbled upon was the fact that he had sponsored my US trip just to keep you away from me. I was very mad at Dad for agreeing to this but he wanted to see me prosper and now also I am working so hard so as to return him his money "

"After everything he did to keep us apart and manipulate situations you still want to stay with him "

"Abhi none of the above are the answer to my Question – WHY the hell didn't you trust me Advocate Abhinav Choudhury " she finally shouted the anger she had stored in her for years finally was out

The one thing you are telling me is what Arjun did but what did you do,

"Not even once did you talk to me and asked me about it. I was attracted to him but since when did we stop talking about these things, weren't we friends first Abhi!!

"You saw him proclaiming his love for me but did u anytime hear me saying that I love him, ever Abhi. I had tried every way to save our relationship but wasn't it you who didn't want to talk.

"He sponsored you US trip because we both had already crossed point of no return by that time Abhi, he would tolerate anyone near me after that …and as far as your father is concerned well he was the one who asked him first but he had refused but later after that night ….

Anyways, Abhi I came here to answer your question which u asked me – Yes I do love my husband

"And have you forgotten the shame that you had to face or you father had to face "

"Or did you forget the media outside your house "

"Or did you forget that u did marry him to save the respect of your family "

"If what all you said to me is truth then you didn't marry Arjun because you loved him but you married Arjun as an escape. The guy is responsible for everything you suffered and for every tear you shed but still you say that you love him "

"Yes Abhi, I do love him and now I believe that he has no part to play in our marriage.

"He manipulated Situations and you failed to fight for us."

"He won me and you failed me "

"Do you forgive him Riya "

"I love him Abhi "

***************************************************************************************

She strode out of house towards the ETF office calling the one who could help him

"Hello Shree"

"Haan Riya bol"

"Remember Justice Choudhury Case, I need the details for it and yes I need to talk to you also "

"Details mil jayenge but whats the issue yaar "

"When Uncle came to my house he told me something which I didn't believe and I still don't do but in front of Abhi I accepted that I know the truth "

"And Mrs Rawte "

"I Need to know the truth"

"Well then you need to talk to Rathore Sir Ri, There would be nothing hidden from him "

Lovely Sia, that was a very emotional update😭

Poor Riya, it mustnt have been that easy for her, the distrust and the way Abhi was behaving with her, and on top her confused feelings for Arjun😭

No wonder she wanted to run away from everyone, hide somewhere, just disappear till she could deal with her pain😭

and then Arjun enters, he did help her, but i hope Riya doesnt regret or blame him for taking her

Lovely test SR😉

Please continue soon🤗

Hey Sambha!! Gabbar reporting!!

If this is how you're going to treat us for delays in updating, I'm sure none of us would mind it! 😆

Loved every bit of it!! Right from Riya's self-thoughts to Abhi-Riya's conversation.. She was probably right in breaking up with him.. No use clinging on to a man who doesn't trust you or respect you, but claims to love you! 😕

I really want to know how did Arjun agree to sponsor his studies abroad!

And well.. well.. The most awaited test SR! 😉 You've all become masters at it, BB's.. So emotional, sensuous yet heart-felt!

Eagerly awaiting the next one and what followed that.. Coz I'm sure, there was no way Riya could've backed out after that!

P.S.: Does she think Arjun manipulated her then?!! that would be soo cruel! 😭

Please update soon! Thanks for the PM..
