Part 5
It has been 2 days and there was no change in Arohi's behaviour infact she had become more lost and more distraught..the chirpy bubbly girl he had seen from first day was lost somewhere..she was working like a robot..frowns had find permanent place on her forehead..now she wont ask her stupid questions from him..and wont give her silly advices..she was way too silent..he knew she was in some problem and he wanted her to share with him so that he can help...don't know why but he was not at all liking her this way..it pained him to see her this dejected..
Arohi was sitting in front of him explaining some report..but Arjun's mind was not registering any of her word..he was busy trying to read her..dark circles below her eyes proved that she is not sleeping well from last few days and her pale skin was adding more to her misery..
Arjun: Miss Arohi..he stopped her in between..
Arohi: yes sir..she replied in her weak voice..it was so weak he could barely listen..
Arjun: wats wrong? U can share it with me...
Arohi's eyes welled up as she could see and feel his care for her but she quickly composed herself..
Arohi: everything's fine sir..she gave a small smile..
Arjun: well..it doesn't seems so..listen Miss Arohi..u don't need to stress..if u are not feeling and want a day off..spend some time with family..then u can have it..i have no problem..and if there is any other problem feel free to share..i will try my best to help..
Arohi nodded keeping her head down..
Arjun: Miss Arohi..u should spend some time with ur family and friends..it will be a great stress buster for u..u are working so hard from last few weeks..u need some quality time I guess..
Arohi: no sir...m perfectly fine..
Arjun: I can see it Miss Arohi..he said in a curt voice..he closed his eyes to calm himself...u urself told me Miss Arohi that our family deserves our time..so now why r u shying away? Go get urself pampered with mothers food and dad's love..and u girls are anyway princess of ur fathers..i remember how my sister has always my dad on her side in our each fight..m sure u would also have a sibling with whom u would have this love hate relationship..he smiled a bit remembering his childhood fights..he looked at Arohi..go and spoil urself for a day..and come back with bang..m elder to u Miss Arohi..and I know college and office has different pressure levels..u r finding it all difficult to cope..but things will get better..
Arohi was listening to his all words keeping her eyes down..
Arohi: please excuse me sir..she said in her teary voice and ran outside without meeting her eyes with his for once..
Arjun got tensed more...something is definitely very wrong...maybe some family issues..
He tried talking with her whle day but couldn't..he was scared for her now..she was making things worst for her day by day..
---------
Arjun was sitting in his room..Arohi's dull face roaming in front of his eyes..he was getting restless due to some reason..he stood up carried his car keys and dialed Mr Sharma's number to ask for Arohi's address from him..Mr Sharma checked records of employees in his laptop and gave Arohi's address to him..as soon as he got to know Arohi's address he rushed there..he was not getting good feeling about it..something was definitely wrong..
----------
After coming from office..Arohi changed in her casual clothes..a loose t shirt and shorts..she was cooking food for her when door bell rang..her nerves tightened and her forehead became sweaty..the doorbell again rang..she switched off the gas and slowly moved towards the door..she peeped from the little crack between the door and quickly stepped back..
A gunda Vicky of locality was troubling her from last few days..he and his group members will always be seating outside near her home and whenever she will pass from there they make some lame comments..last evening when she had gone for buying vegetables from market he followed her and misbehaved with her too..she complained about him to her landlord and even to locality head but no one seemed to take any action..she filed complaint to Police too but there also no one listened her..first she was girl and secondly she was orphan without anyone's support..it was getting for her to live there...
He had thrown few stones last night in her house and tonite he was banging on door...Arohi didn't know wat to do..even after spending 3years in this city she has no one to seek for help..ARJUN SIR...no..its not good idea to trouble him on this..after all he is only her boss..although she knows if she will talk to him he will definitely help but she was not getting herself to talk to him and involve in the matter..as Vicky started shouting and hitting on door she got more scared..
Vicky: arey jaan-e-mann darwaja khol..he kicked on door..
She frantically picked her mobile and searched for that one name whom she can rely at that moment..without thinking twice she dialed 100..maybe they hel her this time..
Arjun was driving car fastly..he don't know why but he getting very bad feeling..Arohi's sad and dull face keep coming in front of him..
Vicky with one more kick broke the door open..he laughed evily as he entered in..mobile fell from her hand..she stepped back as he was stepping in front..he was coming closer with each step tensing her more..she tried to run outside but he held from waist and with a great force pushed her on the wall...she sighed in pain as she hit the wall harshly..tears of pain and helplessness flowed down from her eyes..she started protesting him by hitting him with hands but she was too weak compared to him..he pinned her both hands above her head and leaned forward to kiss her but she turned her face to other side..she started using her legs to hit him but he pressed his wait on her legs blocking them from any movement..
She was continuously shouting for help but no one had enough guts to help her..she was continuously fighting back with him..he tore her right sleeve constantly trying to force himself on her..
Arohi gasped..fear was gripping her nerves making her go senseless but still she was fighting with all her effort..she used her sharp nails and scratched his arm which made him push her to the side..she fell on floor hitting the table..she saw steps of a man on her door...she looked up to see the person..a relief spread on her face as she saw Arjun standing there with a blank expression on his face...but as he realized the situation his faced turned red in anger...
Vicky: tu kon h be? He approached him..he forwarded his hand to punch him but Arjun held his fist and punched him making him fall on ground..he then rushed to Arohi and helped her in getting up..
Arjun: are u fine Arohi? He asked in concerned voice..
Before Arohi could reply Vicky came from behind holding a lamp in his hand..he was about to hit him but Arohi shouted..
Arohi: SIR...she pushed him aside and held Vicky's hand..Arjun was fast enough to react..he took the lamp and threw it away..he started punching him continuously..he pushed him out of her house and started kicking him..just then police came and stopped him...they arrested Vicky..
Arjun: what the hell is your use..? u are coming now? He shouted at them..
Police: we are here now..we will handle it on our own..
Arjun: I am personally going to look nto this case...u better handle it properly..he threatened..
Police inspector nodded..
Suddenly he remembered Arohi and turned to look for her..she was standing near the door in distraught state..
Arjun rushed to her..
Arjun: Miss Arohi..he said in a concerned voice..
Arohi didn't said anything just stood still..
Police inspector came to them..
Police: we need to have her statement..he said looking her up to down and eyeing at her tore sleeve
Arjun controlled his anger and pulled her in side hug covering her torn side..
Arjun: she will come tomorrow...he said gritting his teeth..
He seeing his anger face ran away...
Arohi looked him..and then at everyone who were looking at her..
Arjun sensed it and pulled her inside..he made her sit on her bed and quickly brought a glass of water..
He brought glass close to her mouth but seeing no movement in her..he lightly pressed her shoulder and whispered.."Arohi"..she looked at him and a continuous flow of tears slipped from her eyes..she threw herself in his arms..
Arjun was shocked at first but he understood that she needed someone to lean on rite now..he kept the glass side and patted her head calming her..
She broke down in his arms and clutched his shirt tightly in her fist..
Arjun: shhh...calm down Arohi..nothing will happen..m here with you..
Arohi's tears died into whimpers as he gently rubbed her back..she realized her state and quickly withdrew from his arms..
Arohi: thank u sir..she hiccupped..
Arjun nodded giving her water to drink..he wanted to ask many questions but kept mumm..as she was not in state to answer..
He stood up..
Arjun: come Miss Arohi..u are coming with me..
Arohi opened her mouth to deny..
Arjun: its not safe for u to stay her at this moment..he said before she could say anything..
Arohi agreed with him cz only Vicky was arrested by police his gang members were still roaming out free..
Arjun: I won't harm you..he said in assuring voice taking her silence in wrong way..
Arohi looked him popping her eyes and moved her head refusing..
Arohi: N..no sir..i was thinking about his gang members..she said in feeble voice
Arjun nodded: they won't be able to do anything..lets go from here..
Arohi nodded and stood up but hissed as there was a cut in her leg which pained when she stood up..
Arjun: careful..he held from shoulders concerned..u wait here I bring first aid box..
Arohi: no sir..m fine..she said composing herself..
Arjun: but..
Arohi: yes sir..its ok...she said in assuring tone..
Arjun nodded and helped her in going to car..he settled her in car and moved to back seat of car..he picked up his jacket and offered her..
Arohi took it without saying anything and covered herself...
He started the car and headed towards his home..
-------------
Arjun;s parents and dadi were sitting tensed in hall...Arjun just left without informing anyone..he had never done anything of this sort before..Maya their maid told her that he was looking restless and worried when he left in urgency..
They saw him entering and rushed to him at once..they stopped seeing him entering with some girl..the girl looked quite disoriented...
Dadi rushed to him..
Dadi: Arjun puttar..kidher gya that u? aur ye...she looked at Arohi..ye kaun h? she asked confused..
Arjun: btata hu Dadi..he closed his eyes in assurance to her..Maya..he called the maid and told her to take Arohi to guest room..
Maya carefully helped Arohi to go there..
Rudra: Arjun who is she? He asked as soon as Maya took Arohi with her..
Arjun: Dad..she is my new P.A. Arohi..and he quickly filled them with the incident which happened..
Kumud: oh god...! Thank god she is fine now..i go and meet her..
