Part 27Roaming into the boundaries of her room, wearing her sleeping suit, she was remembering the moments from the evenings. A lazy smile was plastered on her face right from the time she was back. Arjun just like a true gentleman, dropped her back to her room door. "Thank you Arjun for this amazing evening". She had muttered. In response, he just gave her a dazzling smile that had instantly made her blush and look away. Taking it as a chance, he had bend down and placed a soft kiss on her cheek, taking her by surprise. "Thank you Arohi for coming along with me..." He whispered while she was still in trance of his soft lips that had landed on her cheek just a moment back. Next, she just heard his steps voice and that made her took a deep breath.
Her body still burned up just thinking about it. "How do you want to see me Arohi?" He had asked her. But she wondered, if she would have accepted him in some other way. Shaina had asked her as why she couldn't move ahead with him till now as she, Shaina, herself had went through same situation as her. But now analyzing this situation, she realized that it was easy for Shaina cause she didn't had a hard life. She doesn't had to face rejection at each spot. She was loved by people around and although Aryan wasn't her choice, he made sure she know that he wants her in his life. For Arohi, till now it was hard to believe on people after getting snubbed by all around. In a way, Arjun too had deceived her but now she know, that all he did was for her betterment. His main motive was never wrong. He wanted to protect her, save her. He loved her all along never forcing himself and now, just his one question has made her fall for him. As if she was already not in love.
Finally, she realized, she is definitely falling deep in love with this man. He doesn't deserves doubt. He deserves companionship. He deserves love. He deserves HER.
Her eyes flickered with hope and landed on the middle connecting door of their rooms which was still unused from the time she landed in Delhi. The curtain from her side was still closed. "Let's put it to work". Taking a deep breath, she moved towards it and pulled the strings down to lift it up. On the other side, the curtain was already raised up. She peeped in to his room to find him sitting on the bed wearing just his black trousers and half sleeves shirt, working on his laptop. "Looks like he is busy" She first thought and was about to turn but then she saw him getting up to move towards his wardrobe and taking out few small picture albums. Scattering them on the soft plush carpet layed down beside the bed, he sat onto it and started to watch through them. A smile lifted up his face as he saw a pic and then turned over the page to see others.
Arohi keenly observed him. He would smiled at seeing few pics, would became sad and ran his hand over others before letting out a chuckle at another one. Curiosity got the better of her and made her knock on the door, she had not even touched in the last 6 months.
**Knock Knock**
Arjun heard the sound. "Come in Rashi" He thought it must be Rashi who would have jump in his room to get the update on his date with Arohi but when he didn't hear any sound till few moment that was completely contrary to rashi's chattering nature, he looked up and frozed.
Standing infront was his beautiful wife, cladding in white cotton pj's and half sleeved shirt that was falling till her knees. Her hairs were open and were still falling around her face in curls. Her face was bare without any make up but still, to him, she was looking more beautiful, more serene. He noticed the opened glass door behind her and then his eyes flickered with shine. Her getting into his room from that door, seemed liked her first step into this relationship.
"What are you looking at?" She questioned, making his attention turn back towards her. "Umm...nothing...just was looking through some old pics...Want to see it?" He offered. Nodding she went close to him. Arjun put few albums away to make space for her. She took her place and held onto an album before starting to go through it. Arjun leaned closed to see which one she took while she squealed out in happiness. "OMG! You still have these ones...I wondered so many times where were these pics...I did remember the moment and that we did took pics" Arohi said looking at the pics from their school trip to a fun land they had visited. There was also a lake for boating and Arjun, Arohi and Rashi all had the pics from that event. Few of Rashi and arohi and other of Arjun with his classmates. Unknowingly, Arjun moved closer as Arohi pointed at few of her her class mare pics. "See thats Purvi, Sanju, Deepa and this one is...oh what was her name...Ah...how can I forget her name" Arohi scrunched her nose and frowned, trying hard to remember the name of her classmate who used to sit behind her and Rashi. Arjun enjoyed the facial expression. Adorable, he thought and smiled "That's shivangi..." Arjun decided to put her out from misery. "Yeah Shivangi..." Arohi hit her head and the frowned looking back at him. "You so remember her name" Her voice was accusing. Jealous. Arjun thought and smiled. "What can I do...She was one pretty girl...She also used to come over our house to take notes from Rashi" Arjun decided to play along but seeing her frown deepen, he held his chuckle back and explained. "Forget to mention that Rashi was so used to get piss off by her...and now, Rashi keep looking at these pics from time to time and made me see them too...I can almost tell you on which page you can find which pic" That made Arohi somewhere calm but somewhere, she was surprised by her own reaction.
"Leave that album, see this one..." Arjun diverted her mind by putting another album into her lap which held many of pic of her and his parents. "Oh My!" She turned teary as her eyes fell on a pic of her mom, his mom holding her and rashi respectively while Arjun was standing them, putting his hands on each mother shoulder. "I remember this one...Uncle took the pic" Arjun nodded in approval. She turned the page and next came a pike of pictures attached on both sides. One other of his mother laughing at something. One of his parents with them, three children. One of his from sports day winning. Her , presenting a debate on a dice. .One with them, Rashi Arjun and her showing off their passing certificate while Arjun had the cup. Her and Rashi laying on the grass on their stomachs and looking up with smiles. Arjun laying with open hands on the grass along with his dog. "That's sparkle..." Arohi mentioned making Arjun lean back on his hands and nod. "He was the best dog ever" He murmured, maing Arohi nod. "Remember how you used to tease us by making sparkle ran behind us when you had just adopted him..." Her complaining tone made her look too cute. "What could I do? You both were so fun to watch" Arohi frowned but couldn't help smiling seeing the amusing look on his face. "Can you remember him...Our canteen boy..." Arohi stressed on her mind for a bit. Those seemed like a far away memory to her. "But you do remember everything about him". Her mind told surprising her. "Arohi..." He called her, making her get out from the trance. She nodded her head on seeing his questioning look. "Yeah...I remember him...". "He is now working for our company." He told, making her smile. Further on, she checked all the pics with a deep thoughtful look. Each pic was holding a new meaning to her now. Their each moment captured was making her feel more connected to him.
The moment right now was so soothing, so peaceful that he wanted to stay deep in this one. Her beside him, sharing the moments from the past, was making him finally feel at home. Having these moments was what he had missed in all the struggle of his life. And right now, it seemed all worth the pain he had been through.
"I also have one same pic from this event..." Arjun leaned in to see which pic she was talking about. It was a pic of her mother bending down on her knees holding Arohi and Rashi in her arms. They were dressed for a pooja that took place in there society. "It was one of the few pics that I could take with me to Dehradun...Wait, let me just bring it" She was a bit excited as that pic also includes him in there. She had to show him, knowing that he will like it. Putting away the album, she got up to go back to her room and retrieve the pic when she missed seeing a small album placed underneath. She took a step and the plastic of the album made her foot slip. "Ahhh" She screamed and was prepared herself to fall back down on her butt but surprisingly, she landed on a soft place.
Hearing her scream, he looked up to see her falling. Precautionary, his hands moved ahead instantly and caught her, making her fall almost in his lap. Her eyes were close in fear but soon as she fell the hot air falling on the side of her neck, she opened them slowly to witness one delightful sight. Arjun was crooning her in between his arms. His face was a bit close and then she felt his fingers, slightly pushing tresses away from her face. She gasped as the slight touch of skins left her electrified. His eyes were fixed on her black orbs, taking them slowly with the thunder of desired storm passing through his brown ones. Hypnotized. That what he left her as. His thumb moved down to caress her cheek and jaw line in circles with a feather light touch making her heart beat in a fast pace. He so not was in hurry and feeling her lack of reluctance was even more encouraging. Letting her get used with his touch, he pulled her closer into his arms. Her soft body was half way crushed with his hard one, making her senses alert and consciousness gone. The seductive thumb then slowly moved towards the main target, her lips, outlining it teasingly. A groan of helplessness escaped from her throat making him go insane. Her need was all the way capturing her mind and he knew, she was feeling the same with the way her hands rose up and curled his shirt. Not able to bear anymore, he parted her lips with his thumb as her dilated eyes moved up back to look at him. "Arohi ..." He whispered huskily while pulling her face more close to him."May I?" Caressing her lips, he asked. In reply, she just moved her face above till an inch of distance was stayed between them both. "Oh my goidness" With a fade mutter, he crossed the distance and captured her soft petals into his hard ones.
Downstairs,a very tired Rashi entered the house with a big sigh. "Rupa, Water please" She said it a bit aloud and let her body fall onto the plush sofa. A glass appeared infront and giving a smile, she gulped the water down her throat. "Thank you..." "Rasi Maam...Arohi Maam was asking for you in the afternoon" Rupa decided to let that message out. "Why? What happened? Something urgent? She...hasn't even called me" Rashi asked pulling out her mobile from the bag and taking a quick look at the miscall section. "May be she got too busy with the date prep that it just slipped from her mind" Rashi heard Shaina from the back. Rupa just smiled and left them both alone. Surly, she has witnessed the happiness on her Arohi Maam face, then an excited Arjun entering and leaving half an hour later with a beautiful Arohi at his hand. She just smiled and sent a silent thank you above for her Master's happiness.
"Date?" Rashi squealed with wide eyes, not believing a word. "Really na...It seems unbelievable but it was a date...Just see this pic" Shaina said coming closer and showing her a dressed up Arohi pic from the evening that she had clicked after being done with her make up. Another pic was of Arjun and Arohi's backs, leaving the house boundaries. "They looked so cute together yaar...I so wish I would have been here...Damn the meeting" Rashi said drooling over the pics. A wide smile was etched on her face. "They were looking made for eachother" Shaina agreed. "Do you know where they went for this date?" Rashi inquired only to see Shaina shook her head in disapproval. "But if that smile was anything to talk about when they returned, it seems that they had great time and Arohi seemed happy" Shaina murmured as she remembered their return. She was just so eagerly waiting for their return the whole time. "Let me just go up and get the details from bhai..." Rashi said excitedly while giving back Shaina her mobile and rushed up the stairs.
Taking quick steps in excitement, Rashi rushed up stairs and ran into her room to go straight away to the connecting door. But what she saw had made her stop in between her tracks. It was a dream that she had always prayed for to come true. Her brother to get that one happiness that he always craved for.And now, seeing her literally sitting in his arms made her grin get wider. The were lost in an eyelock, making her go "Aweee". She took a deep satisfying breath.She could have stand there, drooling at their images but she knew it was a private moment that should stay between the duo. So sighing, she pulled down the strings of her room just sending a silent prayer above for them to stay together.
As Arohi layed in bed after few days, she couldn't help but smile.Her life has turned into a heaven. Just from that one day. She blushed as she remembered how Arjun has put her up into her arms and took her to her room before putting her down carefully on the bed. She just couldnt do anything but stare at him in awe. Pulling her duvet over her nicely, he had patted her head before whispering. "Good Night". An indeed she had a great night. She had slept having beautiful dreams in that night. What that night, after that each night had made her have beautiful dreams of future.A slight intake of her future life with Arjun. Along with the atmosphere of her heart, her house was filled with happiness too. Next morning, she did went to the doctor along with Shaina and indeed, her baby sis was pregnant. She just couldnt believe that how happy Shy looked as the doctor disclosed the results. No one could have believed that Shaina, who wasnt ready to bear being holding a baby was actually ready to have one of her own. Aryan, as expected was over the moon just by getting this news. His shocked happy face was still itched into her mind. So was Arjun, Rashi and Rajveer.
It had been few days to that encounter and Arohi couldn't stop herself to blush with his each gaze, his each touch, even his presence. Arjun was utilizing his each free moment to make her feel special. Either calls or by landing up home early to just grab her hand and take her out on a long drive. He was reviving the time that he had missed being under the burden of responsibilities.He was living the life of a teenager who just freshly fell into love and Arohi was loving each moment. His holding her hand in public as they would walk in a park, sharing food from a plate on some roadside food stole. Laying into the living room at nights watching movies having popcorn and drinks. They had fun and they had loved the comfort developed between them. Arjun was not much hesitant about his steps towards her and for once, Arohi let down all her complains and fears down to just enjoy these moments.
"What do you mean by 'I am busy' Aryan...?" Shaina asked loudly into the phone. "Shy, Yaar I tried to get back home asap but then this meeting came up with the constructors...we are doing it online...Please give me 2 hours" He tried to pacify her. "No...I am not gonna do it...You know this is the first shopping that we had planned for our baby...You promised you will come...I have been waiting from 2 hours already but now no more...I am going out with the Arohi and Rashi...stay happy with your work" Sniffing, she shut the phone and get up only to find a grinning Arohi standing on the door. "Guess, we are off for shopping?" She said with a smile making a still pouting Shaina nod. "Awe...you are so getting adoravle day by day...I mean,you are just gonna complete 3 months and you are already glowing...Cant even imagine what it will be like in the 9th month" And that pulled Shaina out from her sadness, making her blush. "Now lets go and get Rashi..." Shaina said pushing her out towards Rashi room who was not in there. On calling they got to know that Rashi had an appointment with an elite customer for the bridal dress. "You just go and I will join you asap...just message me the location." Rashi said reassuringly. Shaina took a breathe but none the less, they left the house.
"Oh my...How cute in that" Shaina's chirpy voice rang in the rows of dresses, bibs and accessories. "Yup...its adorable" Arohi agreed taking a look on the baby bottle shaped bib, Shaina indicated onto but after holding it up, she put that back on the shelf before moving ahead. "What? Aren't you going to buy it?" Arohi asked with an amusing look. "Umm...I want to but then, I also want Aryan to be with me when I buy even one thing for our baby..." Arohi just chuckled at her cuteness and pulled her cheeks. "You are getting too cute". In response, Shaina just rubbed her cheek and looked at her with a frown. "But that doesn't mean that you can't buy it...Even the uncles and aunts need to gift something...Doesn't they?" That made Arohi laugh out loud before she took hold of the bib and put that to carry.
"God! I am thirsty" Arohi said a bit later while Shaina pouted as she was standing infront of another baby shop and wanted to explore it. "Arohi..." She whined. "You go in...I will just grab a bottle and join you in 5 minutes...ok" Shaina nodded and get in with the excitement of a baby on her face. Shaking her head, Arohi moved towards the cafe that wasn't to far away. "A water bottle" Opening her purse, she said at the counter and paid the money when she heard a voice calling her out. "Arohi". she turned around and was stunned to fan the person, she so not was ready to face.
Rashi get out from her car and called Shana right away to know about the location. Her bodyguard Samar was as usual behind her. Smiling, she made her way towards the baby shop. Aryan was just as much of a brother to her as Arjun and she was so excited to shop for her coming nephew or niece but when she was about to pass from the cafeteria, she spotted Roy standing at the corner, keeping his gaze fix at something. "Aren't Arohi and Shaina in the baby shop?" She wondered and moved towards Roy to inquire it. "Shaina Maam is in the shop...But Arohi Maam is...There" He pointed at Arohi's direction who was sitting at her back, across a man that intrigued Rashi. "I have seen him somewhere" She thought and pondered till the face revived in her memories and made her turn angry from sweet in seconds. "What the hell he is doing here with her?" She asked frowning in a lower voice. She would have just marched towards them and slap him hard across his face if Arohi and he wouldn't have stood up just then. Clutching her fists, she stood there seeing Arohi shaking hands before the man pulled her in a half hug, making her go more furious.
