Part 15-
Arohi was really nervous to face them, what could be running in their minds, Arohi and Arjun reached in the hall where they found them sitting, Arohi took some shaky steps ahead, soon a worried Purvi also joined them... Amrit looked at Arohi, her cheeks had dried tear stains, eyes were puffy and red. Sudhir was quite composed comparing to her but still looking miserable, he was smiling sadly to see her, Arohi always used to feel guilty to lie them now she has to face the consequences of all her lies, she was ready. Amrit walked ahead towards Arohi, she was looking at her with strange expressions which no one present there could understand.
She called her Arohi, now her suspicions proved right, they knows I am not their daughter, they will hate me now, Amrit lifted her palm to her cheeks, Arohi squeezed her eyes shut, expecting a slap but instead she was caressing her face lovingly with teary eyes, everyone present there were surprised by this outcome except Sudhir who was smiling. Amrit hugged her tightly, we lost all the hopes of meeting you again... meri bacchi, kitna dhoonda tumhe, we did everything we could, to find you, went to every temple, we hired private investigators, contacted every high authority and after 16 years you are here front of us.
When Amrit saw her confused face, told her to sit, everyone seated around them waiting for her to clear the air, Ayesha was not our only daughter, I had twins Ayesha and Aria, both looked exactly same but by nature they were too different, while Ayesha was bratty and stubborn, Aria was sweet and obedient... there was time when I was low with illness and we hired the nanny for our daughters because handling twins wasn't easy. One day she kidnapped our one daughter Aria, you were only 5 years old that time, we tried a lot but couldn't find you, after almost every effort we found the nanny but she told us she lost the child in the bus... since then we had been waiting for a miracle to see our lost child.
Does anyone else know about it? Asked Arjun.
No son, only me and Amrit, we never told this to Ayesha or Purvi, now I wish we could have told them, maybe everything would have different today. Purvi came forward and supported her father who was broken by the memory... Amrit and Sudhir were happy to have their second daughter but sad too because they lost one daughter.
It was our mistake Sudhir, we had a burden to losing our one daughter because of our carelessness that's why we gave extra love to Ayesha, double dose of our affection, having only one daughter left we poured our all to her. It was our mistake to make Ayesha that way. Amrit's eyes again filled with tears...
Arohi was still in state of processing the new found information in her mind, she turned completely silent, so Ayesha was her sister and she is responsible for her Sister's death, never for once she got chance to hug her, to talk to her, she was away from her family for all these years, so that was the reason her uncle's never liked her, maybe her parents found her when that nanny lost her in the bus and raised as Arohi Sharma.
Someone came beside her and held her hand; she knows who it is even without looking; whose one touch is most comforting for her. She looked at him and he gave her soft smile and mouthed, everything will be okay.
With the passing days, things are getting better... Arohi was bonding with her parents, they spent their time together, after all they have so much to catch up, Arohi told them about her life in Shimla, her parents who adopted her and her sweet Dadi. Amrit gets really emotional to hear how much she suffered in her life after those nice people's death who took her as their daughter. This family never felt stranger to her, the first time she met with Ma, Papa and Purvi Di, they all made her feel like a part of their family, now she understood the reason.
Finally time of separation of Arjun and Arohi, Amrit and Sudhir wants to spend more time with her so they asked her to come with them, Arohi couldn't say no to them after all they are her parents and she has to go to her house, Arjun is not her husband what right she has to live here with him. With heavy heart she went to pack her bags.
Purvi was encouraging her the whole time to say what she feels for Arjun... oh come on Arohi, what are you waiting for? You can't go without telling him.
But di, what if he rejects me?
My dear give a break to your stupid brain and let your heart take control and how do you say he will reject you, you can't assume anything until you talk to him. Don't waste time and go... it's now or never Arohi, saying that she gave a hard push to Arohi towards Arjun's room.
Arohi stumbled forward and took a step ahead nervously, she turned back to Purvi with pleading eyes, while she glared and ordered to go. Having no option Arohi took a deep breath and entered. Arjun was reading some office files, she cleared her throat to get his attention, he looked up and smiled to her.
Umm... I hope I didn't' disturb you?
Oh not at all Arohi. So what brought you here?
Actually Ma and Papa were saying they want me to go with them so...
So? Arjun studied her face silently.
Are you okay with this?
Well who am I to object, they are your parents and you don't need my permission to go with them. After replying that he again started studying his files.
Arohi got angry, she is going and here he is busy in some worthless boring files, can't he see my condition? She moved forward and snatched the files angrily.
So you don't care if I go? Huh... am I nothing to you? You will be fine by yourself living in this big house alone like a ghost, losing yourself in your files and stocks? She slammed the file to the nearby table, making Arjun even more confused, what has he said to make her furious?
What happened Arohi? Did I say anything wrong?
That's the problem Mister you didn't say anything when you should and today again you are silent... But I will not stay quiet. She took another step forward to him and whispered I Love you Arjun, I love you so much, I don't know when or how I fallen for you but each and every passing moment my feelings only grew stronger, leaving you is the most difficult thing for me but if that's what you want I am okay, I will go. Saying that she turned to leave, Arjun pulled her back and she landed on his chest, he cupped his cheeks and crushed his lips to hers. She closed her eyes and devours the sweet feeling; when they parted he stared into her eyes and said... Action speaks louder than words. Her face turned red like a tomato.
I love you too Arohi, I can't imagine living without you but I didn't want to force you, I am sorry. She kept her finger on his lips to shut him, it's okay you are forgiven, as you know I have a very big heart, she winked to him...
He chuckled... that's true. He stared at her beautiful face and whispered caressing her cheeks, I love you Arohi.
She closed her eyes to feel his touch and replied, I love you too Arjun.
They again filled the gap between them for another passionate kiss. They couldn't get enough of the kiss, touching and feeling each other, finally the moment is here for which they waited since long. Arohi's eyes were wet with happy tears; he kissed her eyes and cheeks with the promise that from today onwards he will never let a single tear come into her eyes and caged her in a bone crushing hug.
Amrit called Arohi... beta come fast, we are getting late.
Arjun and Arohi both arrived in the hall holding hands, they all knows what is going on but Amrit decided to tease them a little. She ordered Arohi to bring her bags soon, controlling her smile. Arohi looked at Arjun with helpless eyes... he held her hand even more tightly, as if trying to deliver a message that he will never let her go.
Ma actually... Arohi tried to oppose.
Awe look at you too, do you really think we are that heartless, we understand your feelings for each other but Arohi you have to come with us, no more discussion on that.
Come on Ma stop teasing them, said Purvi.
Are baba she has to go for coming back here for forever.
Arjun and Arohi looked at each other confusingly, Ma you said you understand us then why are taking Arohi away, asked Arjun.
Because my dear son, she can't live with you without marriage, you have to come and take her with you but only after ritually making her yours.
Arohi blushed and came forward to hug Amrit. Amrit patted her head, mera bachha, she looked at Arjun and he also joined them in a hug.
Arohi was really nervous to face them, what could be running in their minds, Arohi and Arjun reached in the hall where they found them sitting, Arohi took some shaky steps ahead, soon a worried Purvi also joined them...
