Its night everyone go to sleep. Ajun goes to Rashi's room. She is sleeping in bed. He sits next to her and dozes of after sometime. Its 2am Rashi wakes up in pain from stitches and find him dozing near her bed.
Rashi: Arjun..............................Arjun
Arjun wakes up and switches bed lamp: What do you want Rashi?
Rashi: Water
Arjun gives her water and she drinks some.
Arjun: Are the stitches paining?
Rashi: Yes, its burning, but I can manage this pain. Its my hand, when i fall asleep it touches the woolen blanket and pains a lot and i wake up.
Arjun thinks and puts a pillow near her hurt arm and tells her to keep her hand on pillow and puts a soft blanket on the woolen blanket so that when her hand touches the blanket it does not hurt
Arjun: Sorry, its because of me you hurt yourself.
Rashi: Please do not feel bad it's not your fault. I was scared of Mikhael and wanted to reach daddy fast. Its my fault only.
Rashi: You must have got scolding from mom and dad also may be right
Arjun: Nothing like that. They were right, we should not have stayed there for so long at night
Rashi: When did you come here? Much earlier
Arjun: Yes, i thought you may require something
RPS watching this conversation as he has come to see if Rashi is fine and wants anything.
He goes in and asks: Rashi beta, how are you feeling. Is it paining very much?
Rashi: No dad, its fine
RPS: Arjun, why don't you sleep with Rashi till she gets well? I will not be tensed that she may need anything as you are there with her.
Arjun: Sure, dad.
RPS tucks him in bed and kisses Rashi on forehead and turns to leave
Arjun: Sorry dad
RPS turns back and smiles and says: Its OK Arjun. I am also sorry, i should not have shouted at you. Good Night. Take care of your sister. Call me if she needs anything. Good Night Rashi
Switches off the light and leaves the room.
From that day no boundary stood between Arjun and Rashi and they became much more closer than any blood siblings. Arjun would share with her his inner most thoughts and secrets without any hesitation and Rashi really did not require words to understand. She would just see him and understand if he is angry, upset, sad or happy. Arjun felt she was the gaurdian angel his parents(birth parents) had requested GOD to send to care for him.
Arjun comes out of thoughts and sees Rashi and says
"I may act however strong in front of dad, mom, Romit, Mikhael, Arohi and Raj and outside world but with you I have never had to do that. I can be my own self. You instantly understand my insecurities and feelings and guide me. I am not sure if today you understand what i am saying but Thank you so much Rashi. Although you are my elder sister, you have reduced the pain of not having a real motherly figure in my life, a mother that i have never had and the mother that i have always missed. . You have always guided me to make important decisions in life, trying to always bring me to crime free path, giving me Arohi by taking that promise-if not for you i would not have tried so hard to get Arohi, and now helping me take the decision to leave the house so that all of us can have a respectable life. I will miss you Rashi and love you very much" and he hugs her
