Mohabat...(Short FF) the end- page 12 - Page 4

Awdesh sat down on the bench thinking. All that he could think of was Arpitha. He couldn't wait any more. Now, when he knew that she liked him, he wasn't able to stop himself from meeting her. He opened the dairy and found just the street name written in the address column.

He in no time started off to reach her.

Arpitha-"ahem…ahem"

Arpitha coughed in her bed. Awdesh came back to the reality and in the present. He forwarded her a glass of water and helped her rest back again. Arpitha opened her eyes gently. She could see her dear love in front of her. She hugged him tenderly not wanting to let him go again.

Arpitha (weakness in her voice)-"Awdesh"

Awdesh put his finger on her dried up lips and nods in a no.

Awdesh-"rest…we'll talk tomorrow"

Arpitha-"you won't leave me this time … would you???"

Awdesh-"no…"

Arpitha-"Promise"

Awdesh hugged her gently and kissed her on her head. He nods his head in a no. He helps her rest back. Covering the blanket on her, Awdesh switches off the bed lamp and leaves. Before he exits, he looks back again ensuring that she is comfortable and everything is handy.

Arpitha watches him leave. Remembers the day she first saw him and tries to recollect her day of LOVE.

That day after her exam arpitha left the college in a hurry and didn't even notice that she left her dairy behind. Travelling back to her room, arpitha could only think of him. Her friend got down from the auto a street ahead. Arpitha waved a bye to her friend and signaled the driver to go to the next street. The driver started and took the opposite turn. Arpitha was frightened. She raised her voice and told him boldly.

Arpitha-"you are going in the wrong direction; we are supposed to go right."

The driver didn't respond. Arpitha's fears started to grow. The auto started to increase its pace. Arpitha understood that she is in some danger. With a quick thought, she jumped out of the auto and started to run like mad. She ran in every direction she knew. Arpitha stopped for a while, gasping for breath, looked behind. She has already left that person behind and come along a long way. She sighed in relief. She looked around and another issue started to haunt her. She is in an abandoned area. There was no sign of humans around. Everything was dark, the road was also unclear. Arpitha cursed her fate. She felt the weakness after running so far. At a distance she could see some light coming towards her. Arpitha felt her heart beating faster. She stared to run gain and hide but there wasn't even a tree to hide. Finding herself in a helpless situation, she started crying.

She made up her mind to fight the situation and wiped her tears. She fortunately found a thin iron rod and picked it up. She held it tight in her hand and hid it behind. She stood there awaiting that rouge to come and she would hit him hard on his head.

The light became brighter as it came near her. It was not an auto. It was some jeep. Arpitha's worry reduced to some extent but she couldn't trust. She was still prepared for it. And she could see 2 men in the jeep and the one in driving seat wore a similar shirt to that rogue. Arpitha lost her confidence to fight as it were 2 men. But still she couldn't give up. She tightened her fist and was ready to attack them.

The jeep's speed paced down slowly. The rouge that she identified got down and silently walked away in the opposite direction. Arpitha couldn't understand. She stood there analyzing what could be in his mind.

The jeep was almost near her, when she identified the man. It was him. The same person that she saw earlier that day. The man that she was impressed with. Arpitha couldn't understand her own situation. Many questions started popping up in her mind.

Arpitha (Thinking)—"Should I trust him???? What if he is with that rogue??? No…I shouldn't trust anyone at this point of time."

Awdesh got down from the jeep and stood beside it. Arpitha couldn't understand anything. She was completely wet in sweat. Her hair was all disturbed. She was standing still waiting for him to act first. Any move from him, she is ready to bang him hard. Awdesh stood motionless.

Arpitha (breathing hard)—"What do you want"

Awdesh widened his eyes. Arpitha noticed it. She was unsure of what his intentions were. He moved towards her in no time and pulled her away from the road. A truck passed by and arpitha was in its way. The truck driver didn't even bother to look back. In the process of helping her, Awdesh slipped and both rolled down and finally landed with Awdesh on top of Arpitha. Arpitha looked straight into his eyes, she found something that she couldn't understand, was that friendly look, love……or was that Lust. Arpitha gathered back all her courage and started to struggle in his hold. But Awdesh was in his own world. She continued to struggle. Noticing that, Awdesh held her tighter.

Arpitha-"Leave me"

Awdesh puts his finger on her lips and whispers.

Awdesh—"they are here"

Arpitha is completely confused, the way he held her safely in his hands told her, that he is not having any evil intentions. And who is it he is referring to? Arpitha was curios.

Arpitha—"Who are they?"

Awdesh--"Shh…silent…keep quiet. Otherwise both of us will be in trouble."

From some distance someone started yelling

Man—"Awdesh bhai…Awdesh…"

Arpitha—"Awdesh…"

Awdesh, who was checking the roads, shifted his focus to arpitha. Silently examined her beautiful face at no distance from him

Awdesh—"hm"

Arpitha—"who are they?"

Awdesh—"Shh"

The men still kept examining the area in search of both Awdesh and Arpitha. Arpitha who is ignorant of everything happening around her, confused, couldn't keep her thoughts to herself.

Arpitha (whispering)—"Who are you? Why are they after me? If they are yelling out your name…that means you are one of them. If you are one of them, why are you helping me? Wait a minute. Why should I trust you? Get off me"

Awdesh—"do you have any other option?"

Arpitha pushes him off her. Awdesh stands up and ensures that all his men left. He forwards his hand to arpitha. Arpitha hits him with the rod she picked up earlier.

Awdesh —"ouch. That hurts. What the hell are you unto?"

Arpitha stands back on her feet and holds the rod tight in her hand and is ready to attack Awdesh any time.

Arpitha—"you are also one of them .I can't trust you. Stay away from me. Don't you dare come near me?"

Awdesh watched her in amazement.

Arpitha—"I may be a girl but I am very strong. I can hit you to death. Don't you dare think anything wrong?"

Awdesh had had enough. He went near her. Arpitha was sweating in fear. She lifted her armor to attack him. Awdesh held the rod with ease and pulled her towards him. Arpitha landed direct in his tight hug.

Arpitha—"Leave me..You idiot"

Awdesh—"you are a strong girl right. Go ahead. Free yourself."

Arpitha still struggled in his arms to free herself, while Awdesh watched in delight.

Arpitha—"set me free. You are hurting me. Please"

That word melted down Awdesh. He loosened his grip, but didn't let her go away from him.

Arpitha (crying)—"leave me"

Awdesh (trying to wipe off her tears)—"I may be one among them, but I am not like them. Trust me; I am here to help you. And the decision is yours."

Completing his word, Awdesh let arpitha free from his hug. Arpitha stood confused. With no option left, other than to trust a stranger in that strange area, arpitha looked up to Awdesh to finalize her decision. Awdesh saw the confusion arpitha was going through. How would he assure her that he is with her and would never let anything happen to her?

Awdesh – "Trust me. I'll take you back safe"

Arpitha – "when you are one among them, and they want me in their custody, why only you are bothered for me?"

Awdesh had no answer for it. He stood still without uttering a word. Arpitha read his eyes. It felt to her, as if he wanted to tell something. Something very emotional. But they didn't reach his lips.

Arpitha – "why do you want to help me?"

A man – "speak up Awdesh. Even I want to know. Why do you want to save this little chick?"

Awdesh turned around and found his men leaded by pappu.*oh man I miss him so much and with Awdesh around, pappu tut oh Gaya baby*. He stood in front of arpitha trying to tell them that to reach her, one must fight him first. Arpitha was shell shocked to see the very same rouge, who tried to kidnap her and the one who was in the jeep with Awdesh.

Pappu—"why is that you want to save her. You know it clearly that, our master would be angry if he finds out this outbreak of yours. You know it very clearly, once he wants some girl, he achieves her at any cost."

Arpitha was shocked to listen to it. She started to make out things clear now. She understood that she was in great trouble. And only one man can help her out of it. She moved forward and held Awdesh's hand tight. Awdesh turned gently towards arpitha and put his hand on hers, assuring that he will not allow anyone to harm her.

Papp -"god. Don't tell me; even you are flattered for this chick. But remember Awdesh, our master has given us life. Let us take her to master. Later on you can have her."

Awdesh (super angry)—"Shut up. One more word, I won't spare you. She is not like the other girls, she is innocent. Let her go."

Pappu—"even now I am not able to understand why you are bothered for this girl. What is it Awdesh. Oh my god….let me guess… you have fallen for her. Don't tell me you are in LOVE with her. Come on hand her over to me."

Arpitha tightened her hold. Pappu came forward trying to handle arpitha himself. Awdesh pushes him back.

Awdesh—"yes I LOVE her. I can't live without her"

Arpitha's heart beat increased. Did she hear it right? That man whom she trusts the most at the moment is actually in LOVE with her. She raised her eye lid and looked straight into Awdesh's eyes trying to figure out the truth. Awdesh looked back into her eyes and that moment they realized that they are in love.

Awdesh (still looking into her eyes)—"yes. I am in love with her. Her innocent face pulls me towards her. Her sweet smile makes me go crazy for her. I am ready to fight the world for her. In fact anything for her."

He held her tight in his arm as if he wants to hide her from the world. Arpitha didn't mind that. She found the truth in his emotions. She trusted him completely now. He loved her very much.

Awdesh (Looking back at pappu)—"you stay out and never even think of anything wrong. Understood?
