PART 4

A.R.O.H.I A.H.L.U.W.A.L.I.A

Arjun paced the length of the room repeating the name over and over in his mind. His brain was in complete turmoil at the sudden revelation. As his feet took him from one end of the room to the other, he found his rage increasing by the second. His hands were clenched in fists at his side, his nails almost drawing blood from his palms.

Sick perverted b*****d... cradle snatcher...

'So this is what Miss Ahluwalia thinks about me, huh? I will show her what is sick and perverted! She is very EAGER to work with me na... The youngest successful entrepreneur of the year' who would've thought that a Forbes magazine front page celebrity had such a loud and foul mouth, not to mention a judgemental brain and a nasty temper!!! Well she had messed up with the wrong person here... Arjun Singhania does not sit down and take insults... he knows how to get even!"

A slow devilish smile formed on Arjuns lips as he started thinking of ways to exact his revenge. His feet suddenly stopped pacing as his eyes noticed a photo frame on the wall, and his smile slipped. It had Arohi and her father laughing at the camera, in a playful mood. Love and affection flowed from Sudhir Ahluwalias eyes, where as happiness and mischief from Arohis.

Sudhir uncle...

No matter what his equation with Arohi, Arjun could not hurt his Sudhir uncle. He had too much respect and admiration for that person to subject him to any kind of humiliation. Arjun frowned as he realised that he was in a Catch 22 situation. Neither could he stand Arohi and nor could he break Sudhir uncles heart. They both were very excited in the first meeting to work with each other, and Arjun really wanted that to happen. He will just have to find a way so that he gets what he wants and that too on his terms and conditions.

'I will have to make the best of the worst situation.' Taking a deep breath, Arjun jumpstarted his brain towards cooling off mode.

'Now what is good about working with Arohi Ahluwalia, a person whom he hates and cant even tolerate? Knowing that she hates him more and even she cant tolerate him BUT... she will have to do so for her father!!! He had the advantage here coz Miss Ahluwalia had not idea what Arjun Singhania looked like. If she had, she would've never let the meeting happen. Well... but now she didn't know what was going to hit her.'

Arjun chuckled as he imagined her furious face when she sees him. Well he will be taking his revenge after all... and it was going to be sooo sweet...

"Bas do minute maa... Mein jaldi se fresh hoke aati hu. Mujhe bhi bohat bhook lagi hai... Sirf do minute!" (Only two minutes mom... I will freshen up and come soon. Im very hungry too... just give me two minutes!)

Arjun heard Arohi shout out to her mom as she made her way upstairs... to her room! Looking around quickly, he opened the door of the closet and slipped inside.

From inside, Arjun heard the room door open and lock. Arohi dropped her laptop bag and her purse on the couch and removed her shoes. Arjun could hear her humming to herself as she went about the room. 'So the enemy was in a good mood huh! This is going to be so much better.'

Arohi opened her wardrobe door to keep her watch and other accessories. Grabbing a towel off the shelf, she opened the main closet to pick out her clothes.

She got a mini heart attack as she felt a body fall on her as soon as the door opened. Arohi stumbled back as the 6'.3" and 78kg dead weight, dropped on her like a stone. Except the weight... was very much alive.

The moment Arjun felt Arohi stumble back with him plastered to her, he grabbed her waist, spinned her around and pushed her up against the closet. Arohis brain could not register everything that happened in such a short span. However, when she found herself pressed against her cupboard with a man leaning on her, she lifted her head to look at this intruder and her eyes widened.

Arjun saw Arohi open her mouth to let out a scream and he immediately muffled it by placing his hand on her lips.

"Don't even think of screaming!"

Arjuns low whisper came as a dangerous warning and Arohi shivered. Her heart started beating a mile per minute. Darting a look around her room, she started looking for an escape route. But Arjuns hold on her was too tight, for her to even move an inch.

"Tumhe kya laga... Miss Ahluwalia... mein tumhe dhoond nahi paaunga? (What did you think... Miss Ahluwalia... that wont be able to track you down?) You will insult me twice and I will let you go? NO F*****G WAY... And now that I know you and where you live, I'm going to make sure that you pay for every bad word that you've uttered against me. So... B.E.W.A.R.E."

Leaving her abruptly, Arjun went towards the balcony and disappeared. But Arohi stayed where she was... eyes wide in shock... mouth open but mute... her chest heaving due to the scary encounter or his close proximity, she was not sure... and brain and heart in a mess! After a few seconds when she came back to earth, she ran to the balcony and looked in every direction to see which way he went, including upwards, but it looked like he had disappeared in thin air!

Half an hour later... downstairs...

Arohi pushed out all the questions and bad memories, including the recent one, out of her mind, and she straightened her knee length dress. Today was a very important day for her and she did not want some sadak-chhap, raste ka romeo to ruin it for her. This deal meant a lot to her father and it was very important for their company too. She will find out about that pervert later.

Pasting a smile on her face, Arohi headed towards the music room from where she heard noises.

Hain apna dil to aawara... na jaane kis pe aayega... (My heart is a vagabond... i dont know whom will it fall in love with...)

Arohi heard her family sing this fabulous classical number to the music of casio being played. She involuntarily smiled as the complete off-key singing and melodious music got louder when she reached the room. Arohi opened the door and walked in to see her dad, mom and Sanchit face the Casio in the far end corner of the room, and sing in a style, which can only be explained as 'bathroom singing'.

Hasino ne bulaya... Gale se bhi lagaya (Beautiful women distracted it... even embraced it)

Bohat samjhaya... Yehi na samjha...(I tried to make it understand... but it doesnt)

Arohis dad smiled to see her enter the room, but he did not stop singing. Stretching out his hand, he called his daughter for a dance and she could not refuse.

Hasino ne bulaya... Gale se bhi lagaya

Bohat samjhaya... Yehi na samjha...

Bohat bhola, hai bechara... na jaane kispe aayega...(Poor thing is very naive... I dont know whom will it fall in love with...)

Hain apna dil, toh awaara... na jaane kispe aayega...

As she waltz slowly with her dad, Arohi saw a straight back, encased in black blazer sit on the casio and play away in concentration. Since the instrument was in the far end of the room, whoever played it, had to face the wall to do so. The man, sat ramrod on the seat and his fingers flowed over the keys like a a ballerinas feet on the dance floor, as if that was what, he was born to do.

Ajab hai deewana... na ghar na thikana... (It is weird and crazy... it doesnt have a home)

Zameen se begaana... falak se judaa...(It is not attached to the earth nor to the skies)

Ye ik tootaa, hua taara... na jaane kispe aayeaga... (It is a fallen star... i dont know whom will it fall in love with...)

Hain apna dil to awara... na jaane kispe aayega...

Arohis smile had blossomed into a full blown grin by the end of the song as Sanchit had dragged Amrit in the centre of the room for a dance too. She had still been a bit shaken up after what she had encountered upstairs, but the sudden change in atmosphere lifted her mood again.

Suddenly Arohi realised how much she missed playing the guitar. She had won competitions in college, but ever since she had started working, she rarely had time to play, or even practise. Looking at the joy that simply singing a song had given her family, she made a mental note of doing something similar by playing guitar for them.

The song ended with the last notes, and the man playing them whistling alongwith. Everyone stopped dancing and broke out in to an applause, as he switched off the casio and started putting the covers back on.

"That was lovely Arjun beta... Bohat dino ke baad gaana gaane ka itna mazaa aaya." (I enjoyed singing a song after such a long time.) Arohi saw the honest happiness shining on her fathers face mixed with admiration.

"Im glad that Arohi came in time to hear you play." Arohi smiled at her father before turning to the man who was still standing with his back to her.

Did he just stiffen when dad took my name? Something oddly familiar about his posture, struck Arohis subconscience too, but she brushed it away and prepared herself to meet the person whom she had looked forward to meet the entire day.

"Haan Arjun bhai... Ek din aapka aur Di ka competition rakhenge, aap casio pe aur Di guitar..." (Yes bro... One day we will have a competition between you on the casio and di on the guitar.)

As Arjun slowly turned, inch by an inch, Arohis smile slipped. A vaccum blocked up her ears and none of the words uttered by her family were heard by her. Her mouth and eyes opened wide as she saw the same rogue stand in front of her, who had threatened her some minutes ago... in her own room!

Arohi froze and could only stare at him as he stealthily walked across the room with a sweet smile and the most innocent look on his face. But only she knew how innocent this devil was!

"Aao beta... Arohi meet your partner, Arjun Singhania. Aur Arjun... ye hai meri beti Arohi. Jiske baare mein mujhe kuch kehne ki zaroorat hi nahi hai. Im so proud of her." (Come beta... Arohi meet your partner, Arjun SInghania. And Arjun... this is my daughter Arohi. i donot need to tell anything more about her. Im so proud of her.) Arohi finally came out of her trance to see Arjun stand in front of her, with his hand outstretched.

"Hi... Im Arjun Singhania. Nice to meet you... Arohi..." The deadly low whispering voice had been honey-coated but still aroused goosebumps on her flesh.

'This cannot be happening!' Arohi blinked a couple of times to make sure that this was not a dream... or rather a nightmare!

"Arohi..." Sudhir looked worriedly at his daughter who looked lost. "Beta... Shake hands with Arjun."

Arohi reluctantly moved her hand towards his and grasped it for a formal handshake. However, Arjun gripped her hand tightly, sending electric currents through her hand straight to her heart. She could see his lips smirk as she realised that he was going to milk the situation to the fullest.

"I've been looking so forward to meeting you... Arohi..."

Why does he say my name like that!!! As if... as if... she could not complete the sentence but she could not ignore the tingling at the back of her neck when he said her name so. And then, he did something which was totally unexpected.

He loosened the grip on her hand and lifted it. Staring in her eyes this entire time, Arjun brought her hand near his mouth and brushed a soft kiss across Arohis knuckles.

"Pleasure... to meet you..."

His eyes looking in hers, his voice tingling her senses, his lips on her hand and his breath on her skin, made Arohi shiver first... and then cringe. Arjun watched her as her eyes thinned into slits. The shock and fear had been transformed into rage and hatred, that she was spitting in his direction. His smile widened as he enjoyed this wild cats helplessness.

With her entire family watching her, Arohi could do nothing, but smile. When all she wanted to do was pull her hand out of HIS, and slap him hard with it!

How is it??? 😳 MR update tomorrow 😊
