Part 25

She knocked on the door lightly and his voice 'come in' confirmed his room, she went in. He was turned towards the wall looking down at something on the desk. As she stepped in and stood near the door , he could sense her presence. Even his heart started beating unusually fast. He turned around and he thought he was blinded by her beauty.

She had come, come to him, in acceptance, wearing the dress he chose, it was like the evening he had dreamed of earlier. She looked like a princess, he knew the dress would look prettier if she wore it, but had no idea it would be this good. The mirrors were making a pattern of small circles all over, because of the lights.

This was the look she had imagined, and it was the same, she wanted to avoid that stare but if she looked away she would miss seeing his face, which for her was the most adorable one she had ever seen. And as his eyes grew more intense she felt the number of butterflies in her heart growing. Flying wildly, wanting to come out. She just had to take one step and say 'arent you coming down' and she was in his arms.

She was so overwhelmed with all that was happening that he sensed and looked at her , she just rested her forehead on his shoulder. 'arohi' 'I am feeling a little dizzy' she finally told holding on to him 'really' his voice changed into concern, 'why, didn't you eat, come let us get you something' 'no no, that is not it, it is just so much happened today' 'I know' he kissed her forehead 'I am so proud of you, that you took care of that kid today' 'I thought you might be annoyed that I wasn't there when you came' 'I was disppointed not to see you but when I came to know why I was glad you did not come and also seeing you like this is even more better than it would have been in the morning' he traced her cheek bone and kissed her cheeks. Then he saw she wanted to say something but was hesitating.

'what is it arohi' 'nothing' 'I can see you are thinking of something' 'it is nothing arjun , and it is not right time, today is a day to celebrate' she said with glitter in her eyes 'you said you trust me , there can be no better time than this , tell me. And about people downstairs it is going to be a long party so don't worry' 'I wanted to say this earlier too, but now is a happy moment' 'any moment with you is a happy one, forget everyone and everything, it is just me and you right now and I want you to tell about anything that is bothering you'. He saw her eyes fill up and she looked down so he wont see, he wanted to wipe them but at the same time he wanted her to take her time to speak. 'arjun that day' 'yeah' ' ' 'arohi what is it , please don't cry, I am here with you' 'arjun , the reason why I came back that day is ...' 'I know the reason' she looked at him with tears still in her eyes and with a shocked expression . 'that is why you got those two sorry messages from them' he said with his face changing to stern to gentle to compassion when he saw the pain on her face. 'what they said was hurtful to you and me, I have removed them from the building and from our lives , business everything, they wont be able to lay their evil eyes on you ever again' he said in a soft firm voice, 'they wont?' 'no, I did not know you are so sensitive to what people say, why did you not wait for me and tell me everything' 'I was scared' 'scared of what. what they did was insensitive and you are strong you should not give up so easy, I want my arohi to be able to fight back the moment she is hit' 'but it is not that easy arjun, what if' 'what if?'

She had fresh tears again 'arohi, I cant see you like this, I am telling you it is all taken care of , people like them should not be given so much importance' 'it is not about that, arjun what if , what they said turns out true' 'it wont' 'you don't know all of it' 'I know all of it, that is why I said it wont' 'but what if it did , what if I too '..' she remembered simran mishra's words in the end , 'you have the same fate as your mother, I am glad you did not come into my family or else you would have given my son a child like your sister which now you will give to singhania family' how it had pierced her, how much it had put her to mental agony, how much she avoided to accept to be with arjun again, but he was strong to make her turn around from her decision, now it is only fair to tell him her doubts and then he can decide.

Seeing her face all drained out of color and her eyes all worried , he felt like his heart was twisted. He pulled her close 'listen to me, you have no reason to worry' 'how can I not arjun, what if what they said was true, what if I too like my mother give birth to '' she could not stop sobbing , 'ssshhh' he hugged her with both arms and hid her in his chest. She finally could speak again 'I cannot do this to you and your family. There is that risk and and '' she started sobbing again 'I cannot deal with all of it again, it is hard' she put her face in her hands and leaned on his chest. 'arohi ' calm down' he consoled her patting her back. he let her cry for a while while he himself felt relieved that she finally let it all out. When she was calming down a bit 'you know the lady with me in the workshop she has a daughter and her mother also had a son who was mentally challenged' now he knew where the fear actually came from 'I love guddi to the core, I sit up all night sometimes just thinking how I can make things better for her and how I can protect her more. and today what happened to the boy how his mother went through the agony, I go through it when something happes to guddi too. It is all very overwhelming and if it happens again? I just cant handle it, it is scary, so scary' she cried again this time more intensly, the fear visible even in her sobs. Arjun let out a sigh and wiped her tears, she was looking at him with hopeful , hurt, pain filled tear soaked eyes. He just bent down and kissed them trying to ease out the pain from them. He gave her a smile and wiped the fresh tears that had flowed down her cheeks. It took several minutes for her to stop sobbing , but she was still shaky.

'so you are saying you don't want to marry because you fear the future?' 'I did not want to marry earlier because I did not want to separate from my sister, but with you I did not want to marry because I did not want to test the future' 'my sweet arohi, and you have been hurting yourself all this while?' she just sniffed. He was still holding her 'how can you predict the future ? tell me, what if even if your parents had not had guddi, and still who can look into the furture and tell we are to have 100% normal baby?" 'you should live the moment, carry on with the faith that this moment is going to give birth to many more such moments, because we will be living the life of love, how can anything that will happen in our life be scary?' 'even if we have a baby like guddi, how is it scary? It will be our baby , is it not enough to face the furture bravely?' 'and why do you think that will happen, there is no such science as far as I know that it is genetic' 'it is not, it is not genetic or heriditary, it is by chance' 'then? when you know these facts why are you worried. It is not necessary that siblings and even mentally challenged people themselves will give birth to a special kid, 99% of them are normal' 'I know but don't know why, I just got scared, the moment was like that, I was vulnerable' 'it is because , you have lived through it, I can understand' 'what about your family' 'they are like me or better put I am like them. I promise whatever happens later on, I am there with you, we are both in it together' hearing his assurance she calmed down to a great extent.

He suddenly left her and went to the desk. He brought a paper to her. 'want to see me?' he said with a twinkle, she was puzzled. 'remember this?' he showed her the paper, it was her drawing of him, which she had sketched that day. She was shocked to see it there, did she not bring it with her, she thought she had it with her all the time, why did she not care to look for it, she was so engulfed in her own thoughts that she had completely forgotten to take care of this picture. he traced his finger where here tear had dropped that day. Then he showed her another impression on the paper on the other eye 'and this is mine' he said. She traced the it, his tear drop had made an impression next to hers. It was more precious than a diamond. 'how did you find it' she managed to say 'daadi wanted me to get something from her wardrobe and when I opened , this is the treasure I found' he said kissing her signature He had not seen anything more beautiful and more expressive especially about him. This was a gift he had not even imagined. . 'you drew my picture arohi? How can life be so beautiful so suddenly, where were you all these days' he asked her keeping the paper down on the edge of the bed, and took her in his arms again, while his eyes blurred with the sweetness of his tears. This was the most overwhelming situation of her whole life.

She had more tears now, but sweet ones. 'no more tears' he wiped them. 'I want a smile now' she tried to ' oh and wait, remember to think twice before you give that smile' he winked. She rememberd how he said he has the rings with him always and he wont waste a second when she smiles at him like this. She bent down to stop that smile from coming forward. 'oh you wont give that to me/' he questioned. She nodded a no, stopping the smile from forming. The colour had returned to her face now. Eyes freshly washed with tears and all the emotions playing and all the fears and worries gone she was looking more beautiful.

'allright , I know how to make you smile' she looked at him like challenge accepted. He came close to her and the look in his eyes sent a sensation down her spine. Is he going to put the ring now she felt a shiver pass through. She looked at him with love filled eyes. He came much closer and took her by the waist , looking straight into her eyes he said with a deep voice 'you are in for a surprise my dear, to make you mine I am going to make you smile, the same way you did that day, and then I will not stop' he bent down kissed her already red lips making it more red by the blood rush. 'come lets go down' he said holding her hands and taking her down. She did not understand why he suddenly stopped talking there and took her down.

She forcefully took her hands out of his hands, only making him hold them tighter. He walked down the stairs with her. Raashi and rudra saw them coming down. Raashi was so excited that she had to stop from screaming. Arjun came down with her and seeing her look around with and trying to squeeze her hands out, he left her hand. He winked at her and whispered 'now be ready to smile and remember you should smile only at me' he left from there.

He hugged his dad and told him in low voice 'be ready to make an announcement' rudra was amused at his request. Arjun then went and brought daadi and him mom to the party room. He called guddi and bua too. When he had everyone's attention he said 'this is the most impotant day to my family and me and my loved ones' he said looking at her. 'so I want to sing a song for my'' he looked at her and turned to daadi ' for my daadi' arohi again forcefully stopped the smile that crept up, he sure does know how to get through. 'so for my daadi I want to sing one of her favourite songs, which she claims that dadaji sang for her' he now winked at his daadi, who affectionately signaled she will take care of him later . He smiled and sat on the arm of the couch next to his daadi. And he cleared his throat to sing. Arohi was waiting, she had heard him hum but sing no she could not imagine, but she had also not imagined that it will sweep her off her feet. Arjun started to sing , looking at her .
