Chapter 8

It had been two days. Arjun had been picking and dropping Arohi for two days. The intial inertia that Arohi felt towards Arjun had been melting away. He had made his way into her not-so-bad category. If his good looks had made her put him into bad category then his caring and protective attitude towards his family had brought about this change. She had seen the way Rashi and Romit looked upto him. She had also seen the proudness in his parents' eyes. Arohi had even seen a belief in June's eyes that her best friend will always be there for her. He was a family man. He loved and cared for his family. This aspect of him made her like him more. Family that word had so many meanings to him. For her it had only one meaning - pain. Arohi slowly drifted to the past. She grew up seeing a distance and indifference in her mom's eyes. She was sent to hostel from the time she joined school. Her mother never cried when she left for hostel. In fact she had some kind of happiness. Her dad never spoke to her in dad-daughter way. She was never allowed to call her parents mom and dad. She was told to call them sir and ma'am. Arohi was hurt but never complained. She was more hurt by the fact that her sister Natasha who was just one years older than her had never these problems. She was restricted from calling their parents mom and dad. Arohi couldn't understand why. Her elder brother Ishaan loved her and was more like her. He called their dad sir but called their mother mom. Ish bhaiyya, dadu, Love bua and her son Sanchit were the only ones who loved her. Arohi searched for the answers to all these but never got one. It was her 13^th birthday that brought all the answers. That day she was shattered and broken into million pieces. That day the truth came out.

On that fateful day a letter arrived in her name. As usual only 4 people cared about her birthday apart from her besties. It was a holiday and her dadu brought her home. She was listening to her favourite music when the letter came. Her world came down after reading the letter. It was from her mom. Her real mom. The letter contained her mother's story. A story that started from her forceful marriage to dad. Her mom Amrit was married to her dad Sudhir but never got the love and respect she deserved. Amrit was humiliated very often. But when the twins were born Amrit was happy hoping her husband would love her back. But no such thing happened. He showed no emotions towards the kids. The kids who were born out of just duty can never have the love of the parents. Especially if the dad hated the sight of their mother. Somehow her mom was able to live through all this. But fate had planned something else. Her dad was having an affair with a Sheila who was divorced and had a son from her previous marriage. More hurting was the fact that they had a daughter from their relationship. Amrit was broken but she questioned Sudhir but he gave her a cold response. Amrit decided to leave the house with her daughters but Sudhir knew if she left his dad would never forgive him. So he forcefully took Arohi from Amrit's hand and tried to stop her. She didn't stop and decided she would come back for her other daughter soon. Sudhir used this opportunity to get married to Sheila and thus Arohi became an orphan in her own home. She lived in despair for 13 long years wondering why her mom hates her. After knowing the truth Arohi couldn't apprehend her feeling. She felt lose but she saw a ray of hope. Her mom was coming back to get her. In two days time her mom would come with her sister Akshita to take her to their home in Chandigarh. Arohi was angry that no one cared to tell her about her mom and twin. She was angry that even after being the legitimate daughter of her dad she was treated as an orphan! She stormed down to her dadu's room and asked for an explanation. He hadn't any. Arohi calmed herself knowing she didn't have to stay here for long. Two days and she will find a new sky. But once again a storm came. On their way to pick Arohi her mom and sister met with an accident and were killed.

Arohi laid there in front of her mom's and sister's dead bodies. She was stunned. She looked at her mom. Arohi was the exact copy of her mom. Her twin Akshita looked exactly like her. They were mirror images of each other. Arohi felt like her insides were being scratched. It was being torn down. She had felt incomplete all her life. Two days before she found out why and today she was left incomplete forever. True she had never known her sister but the pain that the death of her mother and sister whom she had never known gave her the world's largest pain. Arohi's eyes fell on her dad and stepmom and instantly she felt anger building inside her. She wanted to tear them apart for making her truly orphan, for keeping her away from her mom and sister. The sweet Arohi who was caring towards them died that day. Another Arohi who hated the sight of her dad and stepmom was born. The rebel was born.

Arohi spent the next 2 weeks inside her room and the only ones who cared to come there was her Ish bhaiyya and Sanchit. Her dadu and bua felt responsible for her condition. They came to her room but she refused to speak to them. She only spoke to her Ish bhaiyya. He was her stepbrother but loved her like his own sister. After all he also had the same problem. Her respect for him increased and he became her best friend. When she finally came out of her room she had changed completely. She didn't have that sweet smile. She only spoke to her bhaiyya, bua, dadu and Sanchit. Well no one else cared for her. Apart from them she had thayyaji, thayyiji, and a chachu who was only 5 years older than her. These 3 were her dad's gang and never really liked her. Arohi stopped noticing and speaking to them. She was silent and alone whenever she was in home. She also created all the problems in the world for them. She broke things; she fought with anyone and everyone. She had become one problem child.

Her hostel was the one place she loved. Her school in Shimla had given her two most precious gifts to her. Swayam and Shefali. They were very obedient and studious eventhough a little naughty. Everyone loved them and nobody had ever guessed that Arohi was a rebel in her home. To everyone in hostel she was the sweetest girl in this world. Hostel and school were her paradises.

Natasha the biggest problem in her life. Natasha was very much jealous of Arohi. Not because of the family, of course. Natasha had a crush on Jai who happened to be Arohi's close friend. Jai was fond of Arohi. Arohi was aware of Nat's obessession with Jai and decided to date him. Arohi was giving competition to Nat's and irritating her was Arohi's favourite pass time. When it comes to Nat's Arohi was a little devil. Natasha's obsessession got out of hand and she was in the verge of hurting herself and Arohi. Natasha had no love for Jai but the thought of him dating her enemy Arohi was making her hysterical. Ishaan had to interfere. He told Arohi that if she was serious with Jai he would support her but if it was just to annoy Natasha she had to leave him. Arohi knew her bro only told this to keep her safe. Arohi was only 17 at that time and knew she had no real feelings for Jai. It was just to annoy Natasha. Arohi met up with Jai to break up with him and to her luck Jai understood her. Jai hugged her and give her a kiss on forehead. He was a sweet guy but she didn't know that her half sister was following her and taken the photograph of Jai kissing Arohi. The photograph dropped a bomb and her stepmom was awaiting a chance. She had called Arohi a characterless sl*t but Arohi didn't react. She was expecting this. But when that woman brought her dead mom and sister into this Arohi lost it and gave her a tight slap. Arohi started yelling at that woman and called her all the bad names in the dictionary. Arohi held her responsible for her mom's death. Finally Arohi let out everything that was inside her since the day she lost everything. She literally exploded and that explosion shook everything.

Arohi expected Ishaan to be mad at her but he wasn't. That was her only regret that she had slapped someone who was nothing to her but was something to her brother. Her dadu decided she could not stay in this house because he knew Sheila would do everything to get her revenge. Thus Arohi was sent to Singapore to her dadu's friend's house. Arohi took her mom's letter with her and read it whenever she left sad. The letter's position got replaced by the locket her dadu gave. The pendant belonged to her mom and her sister used to wear it. She felt close to them whenever she wore it. In her twentieth birthday she inherited her mom's house in Chandigarh. When her dadu died six months ago she came back and settled in Chandigarh. She loved the city because it was her mom's city. Her sister spent her life here. She would have spent her life here if fate hadn't decided to play its prank.

In her life she was most grateful to Shefali and Swayam. Shefali left her city and her home to be the mental support of Arohi. Swayam also left Shimla for her. They were true friends. Friends you could count on any time. Ish bhaiyya called her every now and then. He cared for her. Bua and Sanchit were planning to move out of the house after Ishaan's wedding which would happen some 4 months afterwards. Even Ishaan was planning of moving out. Arohi wanted to call them here to live with her. She will do it. Ish bhai's wedding would be the time when she would return to that place after that event. A letter and slap had changed her life completely.

Arohi was jerked out of her thoughts when Arnav called her.

"Ma'am, come join us and have some noodles!"It was their short recess from rehearsals.

Noodles the word brought another memory. This time a sweet one and just one night old. Yesterday Arjun and Arohi spent a lot of time in work and never saw the time go by. They had missed their dinner. So they decided to make noodles in Arjun's private room in the office. There was an induction hob, some packets of noodles and chilly sauce. They made noodles and it was fun. Arjun had poured more water than necessary and Arohi had to drain it out. While eating Arjun was so careless that he spilled his sauce in his shirt. Arohi laughed at this and had to pay heavily. He took the sauce and started to ooze it all over Arohi. Her dress got the red lines. She was furious. She took another sauce packet and started oozing it all over Arjun. The sauce war started and by the time it ended they were panting, laughing and was completely drenched in sauce. Who had thought hunger can brought out this outcome? The real fun came afterwards when they both started to feel the chilliness in their skin. They had to spend 1 hour in shower after reaching home to get rid of it. Arohi smiled thinking about how childish she had become last night. She was slowly getting relaxed with Arjun. She was able to be herself around him. And it was the first time she was able to smile from heart after remembering the past. She was completely immersed in thoughts and hadn't noticed the sudden change in the girl's expressions.

Arjun had come to pick Arohi and the girls were all staring at him. They totally envied their Ma'am for it. Arjun moved his hands in front of Arohi.

"Thinking about me! I know girls can't stop thinking about me!" Arjun grinned.

Arohi smiled and took her bag to go the office.

"Yeah I have a habit of thinking about idiots! Now if you are finished with grinning can we go to the office?" Arohi tried to tease him back.

"Of course we can go but not to office. We are going somewhere else. You need to go there before you decide on certain facts of the programme!" Arjun replied with his cute dimpled smile.

Arohi could only ask one thing, "Where?"

"You will see! Now just come with me." Arjun walked out closely followed by Arohi who had no idea about their destination.
