Arohi: Yeh kya hai? I said i want one french vanilla latte!...yeh boring chai nai! Main iss company ki ceo hoon...do you know what that means? Jo main kehti hoon wo hona chahiye. Yeh request nai tha, order tha! This is my last warning...one more mistake and you are fired. Now leave!
Everyone in the office was used to the daily ruckus that their boss created everyday. But know one knew what made their gold hearted boss so hard and stern from the outside.
Sara: Arohi m'am ki problem kya hai!? Wo ek normal insaan ki tarah chai nahi pee sakti? Hamesha sab kuch tip top zaroori hai kya? Maine socha tha ki m'am ko adrak wali chai dungi toh unka sar dard chala jayega...par nai...actual main mera increase hogaya!
Tiya: Sara tumhe aisa nai lag raha ki Arohi m'am ka aise hone ka koi reason hai?
Jaise ki kisi ne usko hurt kiya ho...meri dadi kehti hai ki jab bhi kisi ko bohut dard hua ho tab wo insaan bahar se bohut strong ho jaata hai!
Sara: whatever yaar! Main toh jaa rahi hoon hitler ki french vanilla coffee banane, nai toh mujhe chai bechne ko majboor kar degi, office se bahar nikal ke! Sara giggled.
Shefali was overhearing their conversation and couldn't help but think how true Arohi's employees were.
"Arohi bohut strong nai hogayi...zaroorat se zyada strong hogayi hai" shefali sighed.
Arohi: thank god! Tum aagayi...i've been so stressed, pata nai mere office staff ko kya hogaya. They've been saying and doing the same things for months par aaj sab aise behave kar rahe hai jaise mere control main kuch hai hi nai! I'm fed up!
Shefali: maybe because they care about you aru.
Arohi: please! Care agar karte toh aise behave nai karte
Shefali: Do you even remember what day it is?? Aaj tumhara birthday hai...itni busy ho chuki ho ki apna birthday bhi yaad nahi? Ya aisa toh nahi ki yaad nai karna chahti! Shefali said in a taunting tone.
Arohi: aisa kuch nai hai! Arohi turned to her laptop typing at a speed of rage.
Shefali: Fine lie to me as much as you want Arohi...main tumhari colleague se pehle tumhari dost hoon. I know you inside and out. Thats why i would never hurt you with the truth. But please just get me that bubbly 19 year old aru back..
Shefali said in a toneless voice heading out the door.
"I'm sorry arohi!" She sighed to herself at the same time she text someone.
_She still loves you_
_please get her back! Not for you, not for me, but for her!_
--------------------------------------
Jay: Tum jaa rahi ho...mujhe chod ke! Jay sadly said hugging arohi as she was bidding farewell to her emotional family and friends.
Arohi: Don't worry...I'll be back before Diwali
Jay: promise!
Arohi: pakaa promise she said wrapping her pinky around his, just like the kind of promise they would do when they were kids.
Arohi finally said bye wrapping her arms around her mummie papa and turned to Shefali.
Arohi looked at her and stick her tongue out: tu kya dukhi ho rahi hai!? Oh yeah! Tujhe cute "shimlaian" boys nai milenge
She laughed seeing her drama queen bestie.
Finally turning away she wiped her tears stepping on the train waving bye with a smile. Only she knew how much she was gonna miss her family and friends. But she also knows that to fulfill her dreams, she had to go to this institute. It was the best in India after all.
"Please god mujhe itni shakti dena ki iss college se main sirf Arohi Ahluwalia banke na aaon..par ek strong aur independent arohi banke aaon. Main ek ladki hoon...aur mujhe kisi ladhke ki sahare ki zaroor nai hai. She smiled to herself erasing all the memories of Arjun Singhania.
-------------------------
"Madam..madam!" Arohi turned around spotting an skinny 15 yr old looking boy.
Arohi: ji
Boy: main aapki bags utha deta hoon...dijiye. he said grabbing the two bags in arohis hands.
Arohi: thank you! She smiled at him. Walking further she asked, apka naam kya hai?
Boy: waise asli naam nai pata ...par sab billu bulate hai mujhe.
Arohi: Billu...cute naam hai..bilkul apki tarah she winked.
Billu: aap mujhe aap mat bulaye...ajeeb lagta hai. Aur kisi ne mujhe aaj tak cute nai bulaya...par haan har ladki mujhe cute bulaye chahta zaroor hoon! he blushed.
Arohi: aww! theek hai...par tum bhi aap mat bulao mujhe...ajeeb mujhe bhi lagta hai. And you are very cute..sachi!
Billu: thank you he cheekily smiled...room number kaunsa hai ?
Arohi: room number 122
As they got there billu looked at the names on the door..."Arohi di..doh gante main bahar wo freshers welcome hai, sabko aana hai, late mat aana...koi khaas aadmi aane waala hai. He smiled as he accepted the tip arohi gave him.
Arohi looked at him shocked: tumhe mera naam uss list se guess kaise kiya jab list main theen naam hai?
Billu: wo agar aap itani beautiful hai toh tumhara naam bhi itana hi beautiful hoga na.
Arohi laughed: haha! Iss liye toh main sochoon...tumhara naam billu kyun diya logo ne! She smiled and waved bye to him.
--------------------------
Priya: Thank god main tere sath hoon! Maine papa se kahaan tha ki mujhe Arohi ke sath hi dorm milna chahiye!
Waise Shimla bohut khoobsurat hai na?!
Priya said at a fast pace as she dropped her stuff on the near by bed.
Arohi grinned as she opened the small wooden doors to the window. Haan! Bohut...pata nai kyun jabse main yahan aayi hoon mujhe yeh jagah bohut jaani pehchaan si lag rahi hai.
Priya: really! Tum shimla aayi ho? she asked at the same time she was looking in the mirror wearing earrings.
Arohi: no just seems as if...she trailed off her thoughts taking out a plain sky blue chudidar suit.
Priya looked in the mirror at arohi's clothes: yeh kya hamesha suit suit!?
Arohi: humesha matlab kya? Main kurti bhi pehenti hoon, aur sari bhi...rarely par pehna hai maine kabhi kabhi!
Priya: Tum yeh pehen lo! Priya said pointing to her white sundress with printed pale orange flowers.
Arohi: par tum kya pehno gi?
Priya: main tere kapde pehen leti hoon...aaj tum bhi different aur main bhi! I swear arohi you'll look gorgeous! And its not even that short...it only goes up the knees.
Arohi: ok! Fine! Just for you she said going into the bathroom.
Priya: OMG! You're looking amazing! Priya shrieked wide mouthed.
Arohi twirled and giggled at her reaction. Tum bhi kam nahi lag rahi. Indian wear looks really nice on you!
Priya: but girl those legs look sexy!
Arohi blushed: shut up! Ab chalo...we'll get late.
Priya: yeah come on! You always waste time! priya replied sarcastically
But what about the other girl who should be here?
Arohi: shook her head...dont know ya! Maybe she's coming late.
-------------------------------------
Namaste! Hello and welcome future business men and women! a women called to get the loud group of freshers to end their chatter.
Priya whispered in arus ear: yeh college ki dean hai.
Arohi: hmm! She nodded not able to focus on the women because she felt like someone was always looking at her. "Main itani bhi achi nai lag rahi ki sab mujhe hi dekh rahe honge" Arohi snapped out her misconception giving full attention to the dean.
Arohi was paying full attention to the presentation, just when saw Billu.
'Ab finally wo waqt aagaya hai...humare special guest ko stage par bulane ka!'
'Agar thodi si bhi excitment bachi hui ho...toh please welcome Mr. Arjun Singhania!
Arohi was waving hi to Billu as when just the name of his caused her arms to get goosebumps. She didn't know if it was just her or was he actually looking straight into her eyes? She shut her eyes closed as her heart thumped like a drum in her chest. Priya nudged her arm...'Arohi..tum theek toh ho na?' She said softly so only arohi could hear. Even hearing the loud round of applauds didn't make her want to open her eyes but in vain she slowly opened her eyes seeing handsome Arjun in a grey dashing suit. To her relief he wasn't looking at her at that moment but she hated to notice how hot he was looking with a freshly grown stubble. She hadn't seen him in four days...and in those four days she had consoled herself not to even think of his name...especially after the incident in his office. But here he was standing infront of her...making her pulse go uncontrollably fast.
'Would you like to say a few words? Mr. Singhania? The dean asked pushing the mike infront of him.
Arjun: Oh yes! I would love to! He smiled flashing his dimple.
"It is my pleasure to teach at the same institute I have graduated myself. But more then your benafit...it is my benafit to come here. I can see that you all seem very excited!" He paused as everyone clapped making Arohi scoul. "But remember I am no more then a professor to you all here..no less...no more." He ended his sentence smirking as he left arohi's eyes wide opened.
"Pagal mat ho jaa! He wasn't looking into your eyes!? Or was he? She put her hand on her heart as if to calm the uprise of adrenaline. She fearfully looked back at his seated body on the side of the stage with the corner of her eye. Seeing his dark eyes still boring into her she turned her face to the other side.
Arjun: "chehre chupane se...ankhein jhookane se...dil ki dadhkan thamegi nai! Shola badhak chuka hai Arohi! Aur pyaar hone laga hai...
