PART 38
Arjun n Arohi were sitting in garden when Arjun told her about what Mishu told him about Karan...
Arohi: I can't believe this...she shook her head...how can Karan do this...
Arjun: I don't get it too...why he is so hell bent on ruining things for me.. he already knew it will be difficult for me to handle Mishu with the sensitive state of mind she is in..but even after this he took advantage of situation n messed up with her head..
Arohi: even if he is gone from our lives..he made sure his scars never leave us..
Arjun: keeping in mind Mishu's state I have to handle situation more carefully now..he sighed holding her hand...I need ur support Arohi...
Arohi: u always have me..she leaned on his shoulder..
Arjun: I finally had everything I wanted..I had u..my family and even Karan..I was happy but he just have to ruin it all for me..
Arohi: nothing is ruined..u still have me..ur family..we are still going to be happy...she cupped his cheek...
Arjun: I wanted Karan also to be part of my happy life...I wanted same for him..what I have done that he thinks I m unworthy of happiness..!? He sighed frustratingly...
Arohi wrapped her arms around him: sometimes it's not necessary that we get what we want..
Arjun: I miss my brother...why he changed so much! He leaned over her shoulder..
Arohi held him tightly as he expressed his pain to her...
Mishu who saw them from window of her room burned in anger..she fisted her hands n banged the window...
They both were still sitting there when Maya came running towards Arjun...
Maya: Arjun sir jaldi chaliye...apki mehman upr...she said panting..
Arjun: kya hua... he asked frowning..
Maya: aap jaldi chaliye...
Arjun n Arohi quickly ran towards Mishu's room..Mishu was standing there holding knife close to her wrist..
Arjun: Mishu...what's this? He shouted n moved forward to grab knife but she stepped back..
Mishu: if u won't leave this girl I will kill myself..she threatened..
Arjun: Mishu don't be mad n leave the knife...
Mishu: no Arjun...u love me...not her...m ur first love..she is just replacement but now m back so she has to go...she yelled...
Arjun: Mishu...stop it plz! I don't love u...she is not replacement.. she is my love..
Mishu: okay! If she can't go then I will go...with this she sliced knife on her wrist
Everyone gasped as she fell on her knees n dropped knife...
Arjun: Arohi..call doctor..he rushed towards Mishu...
****
Mishu was sitting with a bandaged hand..Arjun stood in front of her crossing his arms..
Arjun: what u think u were doing Mishika..? He yelled..
Mishu: Arjun I love u..I can't stand the sight of her with u...u r mine only mine..she started crying hysterically..
Arjun: Mishu..u have to understand..
Mishu: no Arjun..u have to understand.. u remember how good we were together...u loved me..I loved u..it was all perfect...
Arjun: no it wasn't...n the early u come to terms with this..the better it is..he left from there...
-------
*next day in office*
Arohi kept the mug under coffee maker machine..she had joined back office today..although Arjun suggested her to stay but she wanted to come..she was standing there when Tina n Riya came...
Tina: look Riya I told u about these small town girls..she had finally trapped our innocent Arjun sir...
Riya: yeah rite Tina...so Arohi tell how it feels to have so much power..money and such a handsome man worshipping ur feet..
Tina: such a manipulative girl u are...disgusting...
Arohi smiled: u both sound jealous..she narrowed her eyes at them..well u know what..u can only be jealous bcz u can never be me as u know not everyone can be manipulative and lucky...she gave them bitchy smile n picking her mug left from there leaving both of them dumbstruck..
She shook her head n entered inside Arjun's cabin n kept the coffee mug in front of him...
Arjun: I heard u outside..n u were superb..he smiled..
Arohi smiled: one good thing learnt from Karan...she shrugged her shoulders..
Arjun gave a confused look..
Arohi: people will always try to bring u down but u should never give them satisfaction of getting their desired reaction from u..irritate them with smile..she winked..
Arjun laughed n pulled her in his lap..
Arjun: I must say I like this fiesty improvement..
Arohi: how's Mishu now? She circled her one arm around his neck making herself comfortable..
Arjun: I don't know..she is being difficult..
Arohi nodded thoughtfully: let me tell one thing Arjun..u r all I have got..I will not let her snatch u from me..u have to do something fast..otherwise m gonna speak to her..
Arjun: I am not going anywhere Arohi...but I am dealing with situation u know I can't be harsh with Mishu too..he said guiltily..I am sorry for making u suffer along with me...I guess whoever loves me has to suffer..my hard luck..
Arohi: no Arjun...it's not ur hard luck..maybe it's just a test of our love..n m sure we r going to pass with flying colors..
Arjun smiled n dropped a kiss on her forehead..

Dadi: Rashi puttar kuch toh krna padega..nhi toh is baar fir Karan ne sab barbaad kr dena..
Rashi: haan Dadi...Arjun aur Arohi ki zindagi se hume hi Mishu ko nikalna hoga..aap chinta na karo mein kuch krti hu..
She hung the phone..she sighed as there is only one person who could help them..but to make him help them was a task...she searched for his number in her mobile..she knew what she needed to do..She dialed his number..
Somewhere in Australia at bar...Karan was having his drink..he emptied his glass n ordered for another round..
Suddenly his phone started ringing n Rashi's name flashed on it...he raised his brow n sighing picked her call...
Karan: the person u r trying to reach is currently not interested...he said in robotic voice..
Rashi: what the hell u think of urself... instead of having u as a brother I wish I only had one brother...u r so disgusting..she stared yelling...
Karan: sister..looks like Jai is not keeping u happy...that's why at ur honeymoon u r calling me to tell how big fan of me r u..he smirked n gulped down his drink...
Rashi: how can we be happy when we have u to destroy it all...she snapped...
Karan: if u have just called me to repeat all those old n silly lines then plz..hang up..I have more interesting things to do...he winked at the lady sitting in front of him who was eyeing him from long..
Rashi: no one would have told u that ur plan was executed well...although ur second plan flunked..but first bang on! u did managed to ruin Arjun's happiness once again... She said spitefully..
Karan smirked: shit ! I wish I was there to enjoy the movie..he faked sad voice..
Rashi: how can u be so vicious..have u any idea how badly u messed up! She shouted..
Karan: no I have no idea...he rolled his eyes...but u know the solution is pretty easy..he said after a pause..all Arjun has to do is kick her ass out of his life...n mess cleared...he said in enlightening tone..
Rashi: Ha! Arjun would never be able to do it..n u know that..that's why u messed up..she said gritting her teeth..
Karan: ah! My sister Smarty!! So know tell why have u called me..? M sure u haven't called just for news update..so spill it out..
Rashi: Mr Karan Singhaina..u have messed it..so up have to clear it..she said in orderly voice..
Karan: excuse me...I was not the one who dated Mishika..it was Arjun..so technically it's his mess..his problem..he has to clear not me!!
Rashi: yes..! But it was u who ruined it 3 years back and who ruined it now too..
Karan: if I did that then why will I clear..sister..I thought u were smart...why will I ruin my own plan..plus I have my life..m not gonna keep it aside for the sake of brother I hate so dearly..he said in bored voice...
Rashi: u remember ur promise...the one u gave me on my wedding..
Karan spilled the drink out from his mouth: what!!??
Rashi: it's time to fulfill ur promise brother..I want u to give Arjun his happiness..n kick Mishika out of his life..she smirked..
Karan: that's not fair...he said complaining..
Rashi: plz at least u don't talk about unfair...all through ur life u have been unfair to each on everyone..
Karan: okay fine stop that..nice play Rash..m impressed..but tell me u took that promise for this!? He frowned...
Rashi: no..it was for Ananya..but what u did again..I realized she is better off u..
Karan breathed: better off me n that useless fiance of hers too..anyway leave that..coming back to Arjun's first love Mishika..brief me about all happenings...
Rashi quickly filled him with every detail...
Karan rested his chin on his hand: she is one stubborn girl..that's why I like her..he grinned..
Rashi: u have to do something Karan n quickly..I don't want Arjun n Arohi to suffer...
Karan: I have promised u sister...Mishika should start counting her days now..
Rashi: I will talk with Dadi about ur staying in home..
Karan: nopes...m not going there..n u r not going to tell anyone about me..specially Arjun n Arohi...
Rashi: what u mean..?
Karan: u are never going to understand my meanings..so let me handle it in my way n do what I say..
Rashi: okay fine..! I just want Mishu to be gone n then u too before u mess anything again...
Karan: ouch..! I feel a little used here..
Rashi: I don't care...I really don't care now..u have destroyed every single fibre in me that cared about u..
Karan: I guess they were quite less...he chuckled...okay can I ask u something..? He asked bit serious..
Rashi: hmm..she said confused..
Karan: u call me selfish n what not..but now turning to me for help when u need...what it makes u..
Rashi: it's different Karan..u r not just selfish..u hurt people..u cause pain..I am not doing that...
Karan: what are u asking me to do won't cause pain to Mishu..? Just bcz u choose to ignore the other side doesn't mean there is no other side...
Rashi: when are u going back to India...she asked changing the topic..
Karan: I will let u know..goodbye..he disconnected the call without waiting for her reply..
He looked at his glass and then glanced at the lady who was giving him sultry looks..
Karan: when u r not a family guy...but u r supposed to act like one..he whined n poured his drink on floor..
The lady opened her mouth to say something but he stopped...
Karan: don't talk..plz don't talk..he pouted n gave a disheartened sigh leaning on counter like a student after a boring lecture..
Who will burn in Karan's fire this time...Arjun Arohi Mishu..or he himself?
