Aro at Arjun-Nuts Engagement FF one shot

On the day of engagement, he calls Aro.. he makes her incharge to serve the guests.. this way he made sure she wud always get the pinch.. at the moment of ring ceremony, with a sly smile he calls Aro on stage telling guests that she is his most imp friend n the ceremony wudnt mean anything without her.. she tries to avoid him but he makes her come on the stage.. Aro closes her eyes touches her Om n goes up.. she tries to keep her gaze down, but he makes her look at him.. and when he looks at her, he is all shocked.. suddenly something starts pinching him.. his eyes become all wet n a tear rolls down his face.. aah.. is this same Aro.. her eyes all puffed up n red, face pale, lips all dry n parched.. oh my god.. wat has he done 2 her.. his hands tremble n the ring slips from his fingers n rolls down the floor.. Aro quickly turns away, steps down, n goes behind one of the curtains as she cudnt stop tears rolling down her face.. nuts glances at arjun all perplexed n gives a fleeting look at rushing Aro.. DK quickly goes by his son's side quickly wipes out his tear n tells him to control himself n reminds him this wud b the end of all his miseries n pain.. 2 just go ahead.. Arjun is not sure of it though.. he feels something is tearing him apart.. something deep inside has again started piercing him constantly.. his mind is all blank.. he cant think of anything n just follows his Dads orders.. he takes the ring n goes on with the ceremony disheartened giving a last glance where Aro is hidden.. Aro hears the applause.. something stirred up deep inside her.. she cannot bear the sound of applause.. her hands searches for support.. she wanted 2 scream out loud, but it just remained trapped inside her.. she shuts her eyes tightly, holds on to her Om.. she cudnt control.. tears starts flowing down constantly.. nothing cud lessen the grief that she felt right now... she hears applause subsiding...she lets those final tears roll down... composes herself.. wipes down her tears.. tries to smile n comes out.. she starts asking n serving the happy guests.. she reaches where Arjun n Nutts r standing.. recieving greetings n gifts.. suddenly a sharp pain shoots up n there is a sudden surge of tears.. she controls hard.. keeps those tears away... slowly moves up to them.. n asks nutts.. "aap kya lengi, madam" Arjun again feels that constant piercing pain, which hadnt left him a bit, but this time its even more painful... Nutts orders something n with a faint smile Aro asks the waiter 2 serve her.. Aro slowly turns towards Arjun.. She looks in to his eyes n asks "aap kya lenge, Sir"... those words, her almost tearful eyes, n her look gives him such a stab.. wrinkles creep up on his forehead, his eyes become turbulent, he searches her eyes for something solacing but all he cud see is deep unrelenting pain.. he just cant bear it n turns away his face n nods No slightly... Aro feels something.. senses a faint hope.. wants to step forward.. but then sees nutts moving towards him.. n she quickly pushes away that thought.. all sad once again, she turns n goes away.. Arjun turns around n watches her go n suddenly he feels he has lost everything... suddenly there is a vacuum inside him... vast emptiness surrounds him... everything seems worthless.. even his own breath.. he closes his eyes n all he cud see is Aro smiling..
