Part 10 -
Arohi was waiting for this moment when she can speak her heart out but finally when this is happening she couldn't utter a word. Can she trust Purvi and a bigger question is, will Purvi trust her? But she had no other option, she has to tell her everything, rest is up to her destiny.
Arohi started telling everything from the day she met with Ayesha, she told her the whole thing, taking Ayesha's place, her affair with Sam and plans of getting Arjun's money after making his death accidental. When Arohi reached to the last part, she was hesitated, how's she gonna tell her sister about her death... Purvi was in a state where she turned completely silent but she signaled her to continue. When Arohi finished with the last part, Purvi broke down and started crying, Arohi couldn't understand what to say to make her feel better, she knows all these revelations are hard accept especially the death part.
Arohi was feeling bad for the girl front of her but at the same time she was feeling herself free of burden, now she is silently waiting for Purvi to compose herself and state something to her, Arohi was ready for any kind of outcome... accusation, anger, hatred or even a slap. Arohi touched Purvi's hand and said with teary eyes... I am really sorry, I am ready for any punishment, I know I don't belong here, I will go from here, Please forgive me if possible.
Arohi wiped her eyes and turned to go, but Purvi stopped her by holding her hand. You are not going anywhere Arohi.
Arohi turned to Purvi, her face was blank, Arohi was nervous, she couldn't understand what's going in her mind. Purvi ordered her to sit... Arohi did as she was told and fearfully waiting for her to speak further.
I always knew Ayesha is planning something dangerous but I could never imagine it to be a murder. Spoke Purvi after a while still having tears in her eyes.
So you believe me?
Yes Arohi I believe you, You know Ma always used to say I have this god gifted talent... I can easily tell if someone is telling a lie. Whenever Ayesha lied before I caught it but my sisterly love towards her always overpowered my own inner voice. But from last few months I was getting this vibe that something hazardous cooking in her mind, I tried to talk to her, make her understand but she used to say I am unnecessarily interfering in her life... soon she stopped talking to me fully and treats like I am her biggest enemy.
Its true we were never ideal sisters but I never wanted her to leave us all like this... Purvi again started crying. After seeing Purvi's trust towards her, Arohi has now courage to come close to her, she patted her back to soothe her, Purvi let her help and hugged her back.
Thanks Arohi you saved Arjun's life... he is not only Salil's best friend, he is also like a brother to me, he doesn't deserve that...this is all still not easy for me to accept but I know I have to... what happened was really unfortunate but maybe that's what fate decided for her.
Di if you don't mind can I ask you something?
Hmmm... what do you want to ask?
Di this Sam guy? Was Ayesha always in love with him or she met him after getting married to Arjun... If she loved Sam then why was she with Arjun? I heard her telling Sam once, that she wants his money as revenge but Ayesha is already rich then why?
Arohi let me tell you everything from the start. Arjun's father and Papa were best of friends, when Arjun's father died, he was in college, all the responsibilities of business had fallen on him, that time Papa helped him in understanding business, Arjun learned everything from Papa, they were so close with each other, for Arjun Papa was a second father figure in his life and similarly Arjun was a son for him.
Ayesha was the only daughter, so she was really pampered... mom and dad fulfills her every wish, she wasn't used to share anything with anyone or not getting her way. She was a typical bratty daddy's girl, Papa and Ma's love spoiled her rotten. I was 12 years old when I came to live with them after my father got married to another woman and his new wife refused to take me in, Papa was my father's elder brother, He welcomed me with open arms, Ayesha was 8 years old that time. She never liked me, whenever Ma shows care towards me she used to get annoyed and jealous. Day by day Ayesha was getting more and more stubborn, whenever Ma or Papa tried to stop her or make her understand she put the whole blame on me, I don't know why or how she was struck with the thought that I m behind that. She always says her parents were only hers but since the day I came to live with them I snatched them from her. I tried everything but she never accepted me. Anything I do or say she takes it in a wrong way.
Then one day Ayesha came and informed us that she is in love with someone, we all were really happy for her, she introduced us with Sam, we didn't know anything but Papa already knew Sam, he was certain that he wasn't a right guy and trapping Ayesha just for money but Ayesha wasn't ready to listen anything against him. Papa had no option; he had to take a strict action so he told her if she won't stop meeting him, he will disown her. Ayesha was shocked and shattered, she was really depressed for few days... she loved Sam but she isn't used to live a life without luxuries so she agreed with Papa, Maybe after knowing about Ayesha getting penniless if she keep her relation with him, Sam also turned his back towards her.
After some time Arjun came to meet us, Papa feels really proud of him, he made his name with day and night's hard work, at the same time maintaining Singhania's reputation. Papa used to say he always wanted a son like Arjun, then Ma suggested if not son then why not Son In Law... Papa was really happy with the idea. For him Ayesha was his precious thing, which he can only give to someone who is trustworthy, Arjun was best in his eyes in every way. Without wasting time he asked Arjun what he thinks about getting married to Ayesha.
Arjun respected Papa and Ma so much, he couldn't say no to him, for him it was like an arrange marriage, he agreed. Papa told him everything about Ayesha's nature and her past relationship. Arjun promised dad to take care of her and be patient with her stubborn nature, Dad was tension free; he knows Arjun can keep up with her attitude and handle her by his own wise and enduring nature.
They got married, everything was going smoothly, even Arjun and Ayesha were happy with each other, Ayesha was still the same bratty girl but Arjun's sensible personality was holding the whole thing nicely. But after one month Arjun's patience started cracking up... when she started fighting in small things, being rude to him, doing everything apposite he asks, as if she was doing everything purposely to infuriate him, she was pretty and she knows it, she uses it as her advantage and never let go any chance of flirting with other men to hurt Arjun. But one day he lost his control when he got to know she is having affair with Sam.
I don't know how Sam brainwashed her that she again fallen in his trap. He was constantly filling her mind against Arjun and her own family. He somehow convinced her that her parents never approved of him and turned harsh on her because of Arjun.
Ma and Papa were very disappointed with her, they told her they will break all the relations with her, at the same time Arjun also decided to take divorce, in which Papa and Ma also supporting him, Ayesha knew she is going to be alone and penniless too, maybe that's why she asked Arjun to give her second chance so that she can get time to plan this all, after Arjun's death, she would be free to be with anyone, not even our parents could stop them because then she won't be needing their money. Now I understand everything. It was all her drama, when she asked for our forgiveness, and said she lost her mind when she trusted Sam again, we all given her chance, believed her like fools. Purvi held her head and started shaking it... why Ayesha, why did you do it? Why? Purvi started crying again.
Arohi was also teary eyed after listening her, She held Purvi's hand and squeezed it slowly. Arjun suffered a lot because of Ayesha and that bas***d Sam. That bloody guy is still somewhere roaming freely and waiting for the news of Arjun's death. Arohi gritted her teeth in rage.
Purvi looked at Arohi and noticed her anger. Arohi I know what you are thinking, Ayesha got her punishment but Sam is still out, probably he will try to meet you as you are Ayesha for him like everyone else, I am afraid he might try to complete the task left unfinished by Ayesha.
Arohi gasped in horror after realizing what was their unfinished task, they can harm Arjun again.
I know this whole situation is hard for you, but I need your help, you have to stay with Arjun only then we can prove you innocent and Sam the master mind behind this cheap plan.
Arohi nodded, she can do anything to protect Arjun, He loves her back or not but she loves him and will go to any extend to keep him safe.
