Part 5- Flashback continues
Dinner party ended and Arohi took sigh of relief, when all the investors left, Arjun wasted no time in leaving too. Arohi was surprised by his behavior, why didn't he take his wife him; he didn't even spared a glance towards her. she knew he was angry because she arrived alone but still he could have asked her to come. Arohi slapped her forehead... stop it Arohi, you are not his real wife then why are behaving like one.
Arohi went to Maddy's place and removed her makeup, lenses, dress and jewelry; But every time she removes a particular thing off she feels guilty, and that is diamond wedding ring... it makes her realize that she is doing wrong but whenever dadi's thought comes in her mind she shake off the feeling of guilt. Arohi put everything back safely on the wardrobe Ayesha provided her there with a key, She put her leggings and kurti on and left for her house.
Arohi couldn't help herself from thinking about Arjun once in a while... Ayesha called Arohi and told she did fine and nobody doubted her.
Arjun could have caught easily only if he had minuscule interest in his wife, Arohi wanted to add but decided against it. Ayesha told her about the next places she had to make an appearance.
'''''''''''''''''
Next few works were easy because Arjun wasn't present in any of those places, He was busy... after all he has a business to run. First was the orphanage where she had to provided sweets, toys and clothes to the unfortunate children's, she stayed there with kids and played with them... next she went to a school as a chief guest to their annual function and donated some money (send by Arjun) for the development of the school, Arohi was happily doing it but only thing irritating her was media, why are they present at every place? continuously taking her pictures, She wasn't liking the fact that Rich people helps poor but also uses it as their own profit... charity should not be a show off.
Next two days were free, Arohi is feeling bad for not working at the hotel... because of Ayesha's work she had to miss so many shifts which leaves the bad impression and also being at the same hotel as Arjun can increase the chances of getting caught, so she decided to resign. Now she is sitting at her house getting bored and listening her chachi's rants about budget.
Just then Ayesha called and Arohi happily left, at Maddy's place Ayesha was reading news on her Tab... wow Arohi you worked nice at the orphanage and school, you even played and eat with those filthy kids, not bad haan... see they have written so many good things about me, I must say this is really good for my image. Arohi didn't liked the way Ayesha was talking... she called those sweet kids filthy, all those charity work these rich people do is just for a image, that explains why she was surrounded by media.
Ayesha's voice brought her back from her chain of thoughts, Anyways that was past, now time to plan about future; Ayesha picked three dresses and handed them to her... here, try them and chose one for tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Arohi asked holding the dresses.
Yes sweety, tomorrow is a big day. Now come on try, then we'll have to go through the final fittings.
When everything was done, Arohi asked her the reason behind her enthusiasm... Mam if you don't mind can I ask what big day is tomorrow?
Tomorrow is my husband's birthday, tomorrow he will be... then Ayesha stopped when she realized in over excitement she was going to say something she shouldn't. Ayesha changed the topic, looking at the dress, isn't it beautiful? You know it's a best designed dress ever and you are the lucky one to wear it... aren't you feeling happy?
But mam tomorrow will be your husband's birthday, you should be there with him not me.
I can't be there Arohi... But it's important for me to present there that's why you are going instead of me, replied Ayesha shrugging carelessly.
But why mam? why can't you be there?
I have other important work to complete, Ayesha said getting irritated by her.
But what can be important than your husband's birthday?
Ayesha got angry, that's none of your business, I am paying you for working for me not for questioning... understand? now you can go. Come tomorrow at 6... Maddy will help you in getting ready. Maybe This one is going to be your last assignment and I will not need your services anymore.
Arohi wasn't feeling good about this party, dadi is having operation tomorrow so she had to go with it, tomorrow is a big day for her also, But she is more nervous this time, she went with Arjun before but this time it's going to be a big party, more people, more guests and more media... and on top of that Arjun's hateful eyes which gazes at her whenever she looks at him...
'''''''''''''''''
Dadi's operation was successful, she was so happy and mentally thanking Ayesha for helping her.
At the evening, Arohi went to the venue where Arjun was waiting for her, Arjuhi walked on the red carpet hand in hand smilingly, everyone coming forward to wish him, Arohi wanted to wish him too, what if Ayesha mam wished him already he would feel strange why his wife wishing him again? But what's the big deal a lady can wish her husband as many times as she wants...
Arjun turned 25 today, after the cake cutting, they opened the bottle of champagne and poured the glasses for everyone, Arjun gulped it in one go, Arohi could notice Arjun was looking troubled today, party was getting over slowly and guest started leaving, even media was less... Arohi gathered courage when she finally found Arjun alone.
She went to him, her heart was again started hammering in her chest, he was looking strikingly hot in that black suit, she doesn't know what gotten into her she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheeks... Happy birthday Arjun. Bhagwan aapke dil ka har arman poora kare. She wished him with a smile and waited for him to say something, but he was silently looking at her with mixed expression she couldn't understand. Arohi lowered her eyes she knew what she has done was wrong but she convinced herself by the thought, she is just playing role of his wife.
Just then one of Arjun's friends came and complimented them as a best couple ever...Why don't you take your wife for a dance? he suggested him... he was cursing his friend mentally but keeping those few left guests in mind he smiled to him, of course... he took her hand and both arrived to the dance floor, every single touch by him make an electric sensation jolt in her... Arohi never had a boyfriend before; this whole experience was new to her, Arohi and Arjun both were dancing on a romantic song.
I am sure you are enjoying it... after all playing games are your favorite pass time but unlike others you play with peoples and their lives? Arjun said narrowing his eyes.
Arohi looked at him questioningly... what do you mean?
Oh plz stop playing innocent... you very well know what I mean... he pulled her closer, she landed on his chest, he circled his arms around her waist, little tighter to make her feel the ache she caused him many times. He wanted to see pain in her eyes every single second. Arohi was confused she knows everything is not okay between them but what? And why? Ayesha told her to behave like her but how? she doesn't know how to act front of this man when even the tiny bit of confidence she owns flies away around him, especially when he touches her and now she is caged in his arms.
Don't give me that look... What do you think of yourself? Bohot smart ho tum? Haan? You can fool me again and again... NO. He hissed angrily.
Arohi's nervousness increasing more, she's caught now, Ayesha mam will not pay other half of the money she needed for further medications of Dadi.
Just when Arohi opened her trembling lips to apologize he beat her to it and said... I know that pathetic boyfriend of yours is here... in Shimla.
Arohi's mind went blank? Boyfriend!! Here? Arohi was confused with the new information she got. She was simply staring at him with defeated eyes.
Don't look at me like this Ayesha, these same eyes fooled me so many times before, the same innocence which made me fall for you but not anymore, I have given you second chance even after knowing about affair but you... you can never change. You are nothing but deceiving selfish girl who cares but herself only... I hate you, I hate you so much.
Arjun's word piercing in her heart, she knew his anger was not towards her but it's not even the thing hurting her, it's the pain in his eyes which was shattering her heart. So that's the other more important place Ayesha mam required to go, leaving her husband behind with a girl she barely knows.
Arjun roughly caught her arm and whispered in her ear Listen to me very carefully Ayesha I don't care who you go out and spend time with, but if any of your action causes harm on the name of my family and reputation, you will be repenting your careless, selfish actions very badly. He walked away leaving Arohi staring on his disappearing figure, this time he didn't even care about the public scrutiny, he was so angry that he could not tolerate to be at that place for even more second.
Arohi made an excuse front of them remaining guests, that Arjun needs to call a friend immediately who had an accident. They seemed to convince. After the Party Arohi went to the same place where she got ready, removing every bit of a makeup from her face, she was very upset, every word Arjun said was moving in her head. she removed the jewelry one by one but when she looked at the particular diamond ring, she stopped, how can any women give her wedding ring to another women that easily? She could have given me the fake one but she gave me the one and only original wedding ring? Because she couldn't take the chance of getting caught... This shows what little meaning she had of her wedding. Ayesha is a terrible women. Arjun said he doesn't care... but he does, his anger was the proof and why not... even if they doesn't have a perfect husband wife relation she is still his wife and its justified for a husband to get angry over a thing like this.
When Arohi was done she put the wig of black hair and went to her home, this incident stolen her sleep, the whole night she was thinking about Arjun, she regretted working for a women like Ayesha and decided not to work for for her anymore.
