TUM HI HO......

PROLOGUE

".....Music reaches to the inner most chord of the heart and thrums it to the tunes of silence......."

Aarohi Sharma flipped through the pages of the album the umpteenth time....."Tu isse dekh dekh kar thak nahi jaati?" her friend Poorvi asked infuriated that Aarohi had yet again managed to rudely shut the doors of her ears to what she was speaking. Aarohi looked up and smiled-a genuine and sunnny one..."Poorvi tujhe toh pata hai na mujhe ...." But she was cut short by Poorvi who jumped up from the sette and walked over to the fridge completing her sentence.." Casper se kitna pyaar hai".
"Haan!" Aarohi giggled while poorvi rolled her eyes. Casper was Aarohi's cute lil pug and her best friend. She confided everything to casper and he held her secrets in his heart faithfully.
"Tujhe to academy jaana tha?" Poorvi asked,seriously pissed off by Aarohi's childishness.
"Aare haan...bhool gayi...main toh casper ko dekh ke sab kuch bhool jaati hoon.....haye! kaisa yeh pyaar hai?" she sighed hugging the closed album.
"Grow up,yaar!" Poorvi snapped,irritated. Aarohi was a real nice gal...and Poorvi loved her a lot except for her obssession wid casper!!!.....Poorvi's deep seated enemity wid casper came from the fact that one day...he had playfully licked her on the cheek and the next day Poorvi's boyfriend had dumped her due to the formation of a few bulges called boils on her cheek. Aarohi got up and good naturedly retorted back "yaar bacche banke rehne main mazaa ho kuch aur hai! Theek hai main ready hoke aati hoon" She dashed away into her room. Today was going to be a big day for her ....she was joining the reputed 'Taraana Academy of Music'. She was going to atlast live her mother's dream.................

Setback: In a well furnished room complete wid a mini-bar and delicioudly covered in cream drapes and scheme in biscut brown a guy sat on a bed while another guy stood in front of the mirror.
"Arjun bata na...main kaun sa tee-shirt pehnu?"...Sahil asked the guy dressed in a cool grey zip-up shirt and black cargoes. He looked dashing and a furrow rested on the landscape of his forehead. "Sahil...tu ladkiyon ki tarah itna fussy kyun hai?" Sahil flashed a cute smile and joined his cousin on the bed. "Pata hai....you can understand females better if you try to be like them....magar main tujhe kyun bol raha hoon..tujhe toh unme koi interest hai..." Arjun smiled wickedly inside "Oh yeah!....mmm...sahil ignorance is bliss" Sahil got up and settled for a blue shirt and denims. Arjun just lay back on the bed evilly grinning to himself "Just imagine everyone's surprise when they get to know that Mr. Arjun Punj-the female averter was actually a normal guy wid loads of secret girlfriends...." Arjun didn't want the world to know that he too was normal like the others and females were his weakness....He had carefully carved his image ....making it clear that no girl was allowed within the boundary of his heart.....and that in a way was true all the girls he had secretly dated and dumped hadn't been able to even let their shadows fall on his heart. Yes there had been a time when the journalists had barbed him about being gay.....but his dad had sorted that out saying that he was just waiting for true love to descend over his heart! True love...huh! Arjun didn't believe in its existence. He didn't want any woman to rule his heart...his life....He couldn't help scorning at his dad who still unfathomably loved his mom who had left them for another man.
"Arjun..." a quiet but authoritative voice startled him ...derailing the train of his thoughts. A tall,well-built man ...a few patches of grey hair blotched his silky hair and it emphasised his handsome features. "Arjun....your academy is reopening today rite?" Arjun nodded.
D.K.Punj was an unhappy man..his son whom he wanted to launch as a big rockstar was taking least interest in his training and academics. He studied his son.....he was handsome with sharp features and the deep brown eyes accentuated his masculine beauty. There was always this air of high indifference hanging around him which even D.K.Punj's fatherly warmth couldn't penetrate.
"I hope you are going take more interest in your training, young man. Let me remind you your report this year was very poor and the professors made it clear that you have no enthusiasm or drive to improve your talent...." Arjun rolled his eyes and thought inwardly "Here he goes again...why can't he stop having a go at me for once?"
"Are u even listening to what I am saying" D.K shouted exasparted and frustrated. He could see that Arjun's deep brown eyes were in some distant realm. "Arre, uncle aap yahaan? batao main kaisa dikh raha hoon?" Sahil turned up and rescued Arjun from the unpleasant lecture he was being tormented by. D.K smiled approvingly and said "Sahil, you look great... ok boys I think I should make a move. I have a business deal to seal...will see you later. Arjun remember....stay focussed!"
He stode out of the room leaving the youngsters to share a deep-meaning and understanding smile.
"Toh chale?" Sahil asked .
"Yeah sure.....afterall....I can smell freshers!" he sniggered.
"Saala tu kabhi nahi badlega..."Sahil laughed. It was an event nobody would want to miss.....the third years usually snatched the honour to give the 1st years a special and memorable welcome and .....it was their turn!!!!!

thankx for your comments...

here is the first part..

HELLISH ENCOUNTER

Taraana Academy of Music was ablaze wid activity...pals were excitedly chattering away about the latest developments in their lives, the upcomimg reality shows, which new comer in bollywood is cuter, the latest fashion trends and disasters...and the list goes on. Aarohi had never seen such an active place in her life...she had always been used to the quite surroundings of Kasauli where friends were a novelty and nature's music was tagged as the ultimate. "Baap Re Baap! " she gasped at seeing the imposing academy with its promises of a definite musical future engraved on its walls. Soon enough she realized that she was one of the few girls wearing 'full clothes'. Poorvi had warned her and even insisted that she wear something less covering orelse she would be a target to all sorts of weird looks. But as Aarohi walked the college grounds she seemed to receive none....but maybe that was because of the fact that nobody was even taking her presence into notice. She entered the foyer of the academy where a group of boys were hi-fiving each other and laughing uncontrallably over some crack. One guy's eyes swept around and caught sight of her...."Hey guys here is another one " he told the rest of the group. "Oh no!" Aarohi panicked...they were going to rag her...She had heard all sorts of rumours of ragging and harassing of freshers but had been convinced that wouldn't have to endure it. Her hands got all cold and stiff. The guy leading the group was dead damn dashing.... the triple D factor....she had always joked wid her friends back in Kasauli that her Mr. perfect would not be only goodlooking but he would possess the triple D factor of -dead..damn dashing!!! And the leader of this Mission Ragging group fitted her triple D factor. By the time her thoughts had traversed the plains of her Kasauli days....he had reached her with his gang of cronies...
"You fresher?" he asked her, unleashing his prized baritone.
"Yes....sir" she stammered.
" Sir!!!!" he looked in disbelief....while his pals roared with laughter.
"First point...I am not your sir....and second why are you dressed in such clothes?" he said firmly silencing his friends with one look of his disapproval.
"...woh...main....aise kapde hi pehnti hoon....."she fumbled again, disarmed by the depth in those eyes of her tormentor.
"Tumhe pata hai hum tumhare saath kya karne waale hain?" another fellow tauntingly questioned.
"Jee...nahi..." she was disturbed....
"KARAN!!!!!......" a voice rang through the corridors while the leader of the gang wheeled around to face the source.
"Oh! So his name is Karan..." Aarohi silently remembered.
"Tum kar kya rahe ho?" the professor walked upto him.
"Just chit-chatting sir...." he replied pulling on an innocent face.
"Go back to your classroom I said....." he commanded.
"Jee...sir'" Karan softly told before stomping off. At the end of the corridor he turned around and signalled to Aarohi...."This is not the end...."
Aarohi sighed with relief after his gang disappeared. "Phew! I have to be careful..." she alerted herself and made way to the Director's office.

Arjun Punj was wrapped up with a girl in the haven of the director....Mr. Mukherjee wasn't going to come today and Arjun knew that no one dared to come into the director's room without facing the highly unpleasant Assistant of his- Miss. Komal... But Komal had allowed Arjun to use the room for his purposes after being bribed with a promise of a date with Arjun sumtime later this week. Hah!...Arjun had patted himself...by trying to act non-interested in gals had gotten him loads of interest on their side. This was the forbidden grounds.......
Komal was dreaming when Aarohi approached her "Excuse me Ma'am . Can I meet Mr. Mukherjee?"
Komal looked up and thoroughly screened her "Tum yahaan padhti ho?"
"Ma'am I am in First year" she complied
"Mr. Mukherjee aaj nahi aayenge...tum unse kal mil lena..."
Aarohi was disappointed. She had hoped to meet Mr. Mukherjee and sort out some accomodation trouble. She couldn't stay in Poorvi's room any more as her cousins were coming over to live with her. She was hoping the academy had some provisions to help her out. Before Aarohi could ask Komal for Mr. Mukherjee's number Komal had disappeared to attend to some business. Aarohi decided to try her luck and see if she could find the contact number anywhere in the room orelse she would have to spend the night under the stars on the not-so-clean roads of Mumbai. She pushed open the door slightly and was surprised to see the lights on. She stepped inside now trembling from head to foot, crossing her fingers that nothing should go wrong.

Arjun who had been lip-locked with the girl ( sum stupid good-for-nothing Roma) pulled away when he felt he had heard the creaking of the door. His eyes met a pair of shocked, frightened black and beautiful eyes staring at them with utter shock smeared on the face.
"Hey! Who the bloody hell allowed you in?" he snarled. Aarohi just stood there ...deep disgust mingled with heavy amount of shock coursing through her. But the look on his face swept away any feeling that she was trying to nuture...only embarassment prevailed.
"I am sorry. I didn't know someone was there in..." she explained turning red with shame.
Arjun's handsome features had contorted with fury..."How dare you ...." he barked jumping off the table where he and his chick had been nestling. Aarohi didn't wait a second and turned and ran out...
Arjun cursed fluently seeing her dupatta trailing out of the room..."What a mannerless behenjee!" he spat. The looked on amused..."Hey chill Arjun...."
"You just shut up okay!" he snapped at her. What if the gal went and told everyone that he had been coolly snuggling with a gal in the director's room. His whole IMAGE of Arjun-the most cool dude will shatter to fine peices. Roma jumped down the table angry that he had snapped at her..."You know what!!!!.....You are a self-obssessed idiot Arjun!" She walked out of the room in a huff leaving a fuming Arjun.

Aarohi struggled to catch her breath.....first that Karan and now this Super-Smoocher....oh god! what was happening...She asked for the directions to her class and quickly took shelter there. The day began and she slowly got introduced to the whole batch and the teachers were fabulous. She totally forgot the events of the morning. Lunch break began and students hurried to the canteen. Aarohi had found a sweet friend, Juhi. She and Juhi made way to the canteen happily recounting the farewell's they had received at their previous colleges'.
The 3rd years were seated there just waiting for an opportunity to attack the 1st years. A disgruntled Arjun sat trying bravely to smile at Sahil's stupid jokes. "Hey Freshers !" Sahil greedily pointed to the group of first years just enetering the canteen. The 1st years stopped in their tracks sweating their heads off and trying to be brave.
Soon they were face to face with a dangerous gang of 3rd years....
"It has been a tradition in our academy that what ever the freshers are asked to do on the first day of their arrival they must do it without any opposition. So shall we begin?"
"Let us begin with that chic'....the one in pink" Sahil said pointing to Juhi who was looking as if she had just comeback after a night in the graveyard.
Aarohi gave her an encouraging look and said "There is no backing out sweetie so...we can as well get over wid it!" Juhi walked upto Sahil mustering all the courage she could pluck.
"Do you know how to cat walk?" Another guy asked.
" No..." she stammered.
"That's okay....you have to dog walk for us. So go on all your fours" another guy jeered.
Aarohi was stunned....."This was gross...it was demeaning the very spirit of humanity..." she clenched her fist tight to prevent herself from strangling the guy who had asked Juhi do such a task. Juhi looked around...the whole canteen was enjoying the show. She blinked back tears and was about to succumb and finish the task when a voice interrupted " Hey....add licking your shoes to the task"
Aarohi felt a volacno of disgust erupting in her heart..." Are you people humans?...Feelingless beasts!!!...How can you degrade someone's self-respect like this" she spat. Silence....deathly silence hung over the whole canteen. Arjun stared at her ....this was his chance to get even with this girl...he had lost his gf bcoz of her.
"Hey missy....bahut self-respect hain na tum mein??? Theek hain hum tumhare dost ko chod denge magar tumhe task karna padega....so deal ya no deal?" Arjun sneered haughtily.
"Yeh super-smoocher mujhe challenge kar raha hai? theek hain dikhati hoon main isko ki Aarohi Sharma koi chup baithne waali ladki nahi hai" she thought furiously staring at his gorgeous eyes.
"Deal..."she spat in a confident voice.
"Do the honours" Sahil smiled encouraginly at Arjun,glad that he was taking interest in something for once.
He assessed her behenjee look and calculated her-"middle class mentality, egoistic and a trifle daring" But deep down he knew that she was quite something.
"Let me see...okay....let her make a whole meal...a proper luch meal....and den she can choose any guy she wants and feed him the whole stuff!" The whole canteen burst with laughter while Aarohi just stood there...tensed ...she didn't know ABC of cooking...the only thing she could manage to make was noodles and that too the ready-to-make packs. She threw Arjun one peircing look and walked off into the interiors of the canteen.

30 minutes later she emerged holding a tray of freshly cooked naan, paneer butter masala, aloo mattar,raita and lassi.
She felt the pearly drops of sweat flow down the sides of her temples. She had managed to round up enough sympathy amongst the academy cooks who had immediately whipped up an edible lunch to prevent the fresh outburst of Aarohi's tears.
"So is the lucky one?" Nikhil, another hotshot of the academy taunted. She stared straight at Arjun...her black eyes clashing with his brown ones. His heart beats were pacing faster and faster...he knew she was gonna pick him up. Shw walked in slow motion to him...and he looked triumphantly at her. He blinked twice she had crossed him and walked to the next table. He turned around to take in the scene that was unfolding. She placed the plate in front of Karan who was amused. Aarohi stared right at him and asked " Will you lunch with me?" Karan didn't reply...he simply pulled out a chair and signalled her to be seated. A series of whistles and roars broke out it in the canteen as Aarohi fed Karan the whole meal. Arjun looked on feeling insulted....hey wait...why was he feeling like this ....so what if this behenjee hadn't chosen him...as though he was dying to eat out of her hands. Karan wiped his mouth and smiled at her..."You are clever... main tumhe baksh deta hoon!" She smiled back. She had hit three birds with one stone. Firstly she had completed the task and therefore slapped it back on that obnoxious man's face. Secondly,she had extinguished the flame of fighting between her and Karan. Thirdly, she had insulted that egoistic brat by choosing Karan over him. She knew he was expecting to be chosen....that look that he was giving to her had told her.
"Hey Arjun....why didn't she choose you?I thought she would" Sahil asked scratching his chin and wondering what was wrong between that gal and Arjun as he could sense that things weren't pleasant between them.
"Avoid ya! .....Marna kisko hai....uske haath ka khana khata toh mar jaata....zaroor zeher ban jata..." he said loudly enough so that she could hear. Aarohi rolled her eyes and told a puzzled Karan "Saap ko zyaada zeher dene se kuch nahi hota...."
"Kya?" Karan asked.
"Kuch nahi...."Aarohi smiled at him.
Arjun fumed within....this girl was smiling too much....he would ensure that the smile got wiped off from her face. Aarohi was walking away when Karan stopped her..."Hey....sir-waali" She turned around "huh?"
"Tumhara naam kya hai?"
"Aarohi"....her voice was beautiful and so was she Karan noted.
She walked out of the canteen in a hurry trying to evade the scene she knew "Arjun" was going create. She had heard Sahil call him that. But he was too fast he blocked her path and gave her a slight push so that she landed in the garbage bin placed near the door. The bin toppled over splattering the contents on her...she cleared the mess and stood up.
"How dare you?" she slapped him across the face....
He touched his bleeding lip with the tip of his finger and smeared it. Next moment held her wrist tightly "Who the hell do you think you are?...Queen Elizabeth?...Main joh chahe jab chahe kat sakta hoon...aur jiske saath bhi...cause I am Arjun Punj!" he was growling.
He was too close and she could feel his breath heating her face...He was another triple D factor she noticed. His face was inched away from hers ...her wrists hurt but strangely she was feeling a queer sensation at his touch ....as though he were just meant to touch her...."This is wayyyy too ridiculous !" she thought and struggled to go free.
"Damn him!" she cursed under her breath. His eyes seemed to block out any sort of comment that was waiting to burst from her lips. His eyes were smiling...no wait mocking she noted and his friends seemed to be having a good laugh about the situation. Tears of shame and embarassment prickled her eyes.... With a ultra-mighty push which she never knew she was capable of...she pushed him out of her way....only to find herself caged in his arms against the wall like a helpless bird....."Aww...my poor baby..." his voice scoffed...icy and pain-invoking..." feeling hurt?" She tried to answer but the words refused to side her...."So now you know.....better not mess wid Arjun Punj" he threatened and released her. She threw him a deep look of disgust and nearly ran to her class.
