Arjun didn't say anything , there was no point in sleeping he wasn't comfortable here. He didn't need to point out to Aorhi that she had just referred to his house as "home". She would only deny it and take what she said back. He looked at the clock and watched the second had tick. He had a lot of thinking to do anyway. Who knew messing up the photo shoot yesterday would cause Gauri's truth to come out today?
Chapter 16
~*~
As soon as the hour was up, Arjun woke Aorhi up. He wanted out, of the Allowahlia house. Who knew when her uncles, grandfather and father would show up. He was a guy, and if some other guy married his daughter like he did Aorhi...well he wouldn't let the asshole live. Not to mentioned that he had kidnapped her , made it look like he almost pushed her off the cliff. Wait now that he looked back...it did look kinda extreme.
Arjun shrugged, oh well what was done was done.
"I'm up, stop shaking me!" She pushed Arjun's hands away and got up.
"I just wanted to point out you are still my slave. So..." He pointed to his shirt at the foot of the bed where Aorhi had tossed it.
Grudgingly Arohi helped him into his shirt. She was his slave after all.
Arjun pocketed the pills.
Yeah add to the list that now I made there payari daughter into my slave. He had to bite his lip not to laugh.
The couple quietly made there way downstairs, where all the ladies were talking.
"Dadi, its time to go home."
"Oh no you must stay for lunch!" Arohi's DJ stood up and so did beeji.
"No Dalljeet another time." Arohi didn't say a word. She simply looked down at there toes. She was confused, couldn't come up with anything. She was leaving her childhood home, and for some reason it didn't feel so bad.
"Aorhi beta can I see speak to you?" When Arohi nodded her head but still stayed close to Arjun her mother had to clarify, "Alone beta."
Arjun got the idea.
"I'll wait for you in the car, come Dadi." Beeji hugged her old friend and left with Arjun, who gave Aorhi one last look over his shoulder.
As soon as the Singhania's were out the door, the four women surrounded Aorhi and gave her big hugs.
"How are you Arohi?" Her mother asked.
"They treat you well, don't they?" That was Dj.
Aorhi pulled back from them all. "I'm fine and they treat me well, dadi is there so I have nothing to worry about."
"What about the divorce?" Her mother asked.
Aorhi looked conflicted. "Mother, I have to find out if Raj is really his son or not."
"When will that happen?"
"I don't know mom, the paternity test should be taken soon."
"Ishh bahbi, Arjun doesn't seem like such a bad guy you know."
"Hai Love what are you saying? He's a criminal and look at how he slandered our family, that is something we can't ignore or erase!" Aorhi's mom looked at DJ for support.
"Okay stop it. Lets just wait for those tests, I'm sure Aorhi will make the right decision. Won't you beta?"
Aorhi smiled a troubled smile, she grabbed her purse from the couch.
"Yes, I will, just give me some more time mama. I will call you later!" With that said she ran out of the house, knowing if she stayed she would have to answer more questions she was unsure about.
Mama did bring up an important issue, is Raj really Arjun's son? If so then what? Of course I will divorce him! How can he leave a women alone to raise a child. Does he still love her? Will he do something like that to me if I let him love me? I have Raj's mom picture thanks to when I looked around his office. Who can I ask about her details or better yet where she lives? I can just meet her and ask why she abandoned her child! Billu should recognize her, he knows everything about Arjun, business wise, he can tell me where Raj's mom lives. But how do I get Billu to talk? First order of business when I get home, get Billu to spill the beans on Arjuns mom's whereabouts.
Aorhi was so engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't say anything to anyone in the car when she got in.
Arjun and his Dadi knew very well what kind of conversation had taken place in there absence. Arjun decided he would keep an eye, more then usual on Aorhi.
~*~
When they reached there house, lunch was already set out and since they were the only three present they sat down and had a quiet lunch. Arjun was beginning to get suspicious, it wasn't like Aorhi to not talk. She was the biggest chatter box he knew. He had caught her looking at him with suspicion, curiosity and distaste. If she gave him one more dirty look he would ask her. Arjun took a bite of his food then reach for his water, and looked over at Aorhi over the glass rim.
Ah there it was, the dirty look. He hadn't seen that for 48 hours.
"What is it Aorhi, something on my face?"
"No. I'm not hungry anymore. Excuse me Dadi." Before Dadi could point out that she had barely touched her plate Arohi ran up the stairs.
She knew just the way to get Billu to talk. She would have to get alone, away from Arjun first. Arohi went into the shower, so when Arjun came into the room she wasn't there, but he heard the shower on.
"Pagal larki takes three showers a day." he muttered and changed into comfortable clothing. He took another painkiller and then went to sleep.
When Aorhi came out she noticed Arjun was sleeping.
Perfect! She quietly closed the door behind her and went looking for Billu.
~*~
Arjun was woken up an hour later by a phone call regarding work. He was falling behind schedule and his dad's assistant was calling to remind him of the projects that were due in a few days.
Arjun hung up the phone and cursed. Ever since Aorhi had come into the house he had not been about to concentrate on his work, that and he didn't have a secretary to handle the tedious details and keep him up to date. He got up and gently rolled his shudders the pain was still there thanks to Gauri, the evil witch. But he would live, that's what painkillers were for. Plus he was lucky he healed quickly.
Arjun put his black flip flops on, he had to find Billu, ask him to hire a secretary for him as soon as possible.
When Arjun came down the stairs a strange sight greeted him. There was Aorhi and Billu talking. It was strange because other then him and Dadi Aorhi didn't talk to anyone else in his family unless she had a reason. There must be a reason why she was talking to him. What was Aorhi up to now?
"Billu, what are you doing here and why is she saying very good to you?"
"I called him here, and I was saying very good to him because he just told me you broke your leg!"
"Bahi I swear I didn't say anything like that!"
" One minute Don't worry I know her really well."
"Bahbi, bahbi was feeding me milk shakes."
" Oh, so Bahbi gee you were feeding him milkshakes?" Arjun couldn't believe it, what was this girl trying to pull?
"Mhmm, sweet na?"
"Yeah Bahi there was milk, ice cream, and lots of love."
"Lots of love eh?"
Wait a minute she never makes milkshakes for me, she never made anything for me!
"You were feeding him milkshakes? You were drinking milkshakes?"
Arohi couldn't understand why Arjun seemed so shocked. It was such a simple concept.
"So what should I feed him beer like you? Look at this tiny thing, you have stumped his groW*H, not feeding him properly, you don't take care of him right! You leave all the work on this poor guys shoulders, while staying home and fighting with me."
" What the hell, can you shut up for a minute? Billu I needed to talk to you about something, I need a new secretary, work has been pilling up and this girl fights with me the whole day keeping me occupied. It would be best if you got my old secretary, I miss her a lot these days."
Aorhi's smile left her face. He missed his old secretary did he now? She was sure there was multiple reasons WHY he missed her.
AHHh how cheap!
"Okay bahi,later." Billu left, happy that he wasn't caught between Arjun and Aorhi's cross fire.
Arjun heard Aorhi mumble something, when he asked her about it he didn't understand her response.
"Alright do whatever you want in the house, just don't interfere with my business." With that said Arjun got up and left.
Arohi sat on the couch frustrated. She made up her mind, Arjun was NOT going to hire a new secretary or the old one, over her dead body. He was not going to have an affair again! Why this mattered to her, she didn't examine she had work to do. Such as finding Raj's mom, finding out of his real dad was Arjun or not. Last but not least making sure Arjun didn't hire a secretary!
