CHAPTER 1
He frustratedly hit the steering of his BMW as traffic signal again turned red. It had been approximately fifteen minutes now that he was stuck on busy highway in Shimla. But these fifteen minutes felt like decades for him. He desperately looked around, hoping and wishing that he could just fly. He was not usually this impatient or desperate; after all he was Arjun Singhania..world wait for him! the One & Only owner of Singhania's Empire, which included a chain of luxurious hotels from UK, all the way to India. He was magically blessed by such intelligence & business skills that even his competitors could not stop themselves in admiring him.like all prince,he was dream man of many girls.his deep brown eyes,his charming personality,his hot look always left girls to drool over him.'Complete man' he sighed.But he never care... afterall he is MR.Attitude-that she called him on their 1st meet.
Today's sunset brought some kind of fear with it. The fear of life without her... just the thought of losing her brought sweat on his forehead. Thankfully the signal turned green; however, before he could start the car, an old beggar's voice reached his ear "Rab tera yaar mila de tujhko". Instead of paying attention to the loud horns behind him, he abruptly stepped out of the car, ignoring people comments, he ran behind the old beggar. He made him stop by holding his shoulder from behind. His voice pleaded, "Please say it again".
He took out his wallet, handed him all the money he had, "Please baba dubara keh do"
The old beggar smiled mysteriously, "sacha ishq kabhi nehi haarta aur tera ishq sacha hai" and then he went on his way, leaving a very thankful Arjun behind him. He went back to his car smiling happily like a 13 year old boy. A car passed by near him, and the driver made a remark, "pagal"
Instead of feeling anger towards that person, his smile grew and her beautiful face appeared in front of his eyes. He repeated the compliment again under his breath, "Pagal... tere ishq ney".
He reached his destination; Singhania Mansion. An army of his servants and guards usually circled around him; ready for his command, but now he was not in any commanding mood. After all, he was going to his BOSS, his woman, his Arohi. He just couldn't wait anymore; he wanted to pull her in his warm embrace and wanted to love her with every heartbeat. He wanted to drench her completely in his shower of love; he opened his bedroom door with determination that he would open his heart in front of her. His eyes searched for her but he didn't find any trace of her, his eyes suddenly turned very sad.
His eyes helplessly searched and searched for her, praying to god, he called her but her number was coming out of reach. He frustrated look around, his face turned pale as he slowly walked towards the bed side table where a white paper was neatly placed. With trembling hand, he picked it up. The first sentence written on it snatched away all his strength; he hopelessly fell on his knees. His wet eyes read the remainder of the letter.
"mein ja rahi hu.. yehi sahi waqt hai. Tumhara intezar nehi kar sakti, jaldi mein hu. Tumhare important files, study k 3rd cabinet mein hai. Sab drawers, closets and shelves mein maine list rak di hai. Tumhe dhundne mein problem nehi hogi. Tumhari amanat... sab cash, jewellery, check books aur woh sab meine private shelf mein rak dein hai. Uss ki chaabi tumhari brown suit ki andar wale pocket mein hai... check kar lena. Tumhari medicine ki liye reminder set kar diya hai... time par le lena*mene sign krdya hai "
He closed his eyes painfully, "i lost her. I ruined everything... sb khatam". Suddenly he felt a heartbeat in the shattered pieces of his heart. He got up, ran to his wardrobe, he took out the key, unlocked the drawer. Everything was there as she had mentioned in the letter. His eyes became bright with hope when he didn't found her 'mangalsutra'.
She was walking on deserted road, lost in thoughts, fresh tears slid down her soft cheeks, mixed with the rain drops. She was drenched from head to toe in this heavy rain but even the continuous rain of three hours was not able to wash away his traces. She stopped in front of her home, home sweet home, wiping away her tears, she plastered a fake smile on her face for her families happiness just like a fairy; born for others happiness & love. She quietly entered inside the average but tidy living room.
Amrit (her mum) called her from kitchen, "Arohi beta tum aagaye?"
She ran upstairs, "jii mom men abhi aati hun"
Antra (sitting in dining area) laughing, "pehle ye to dekh lo aap se milne kaun aaya hai"
She didn't hear Antra because she had already locked her bedroom door behind her. She instantly dropped the wet shawl on the floor. Her red sari which she had been wearing for the reception party was completely drenched, annoyingly stuck to her sexy figure. She removed the pallu, took out her bangles & jhumkas. Whilst drying her hairs, she went to the dressing mirror. She wiped her soft cheeks, all the way down to her neck, wiping her cylinder neck, she suddenly stopped when she noticed the slightly red mark there, shivers ran down her spine as she remembered how it had happened. Even in the thrilled cold weather, her each and every fibre became warm remembering his hands over her... she was so lost in the cloudy past that she didn't realise that's the lights went off.
She looked around as the darkness around her started to form, she could barely see her own hands which were in front of her. Her fear of the dark started to seep in, even though she really wanted to scream and gather her family here-, she didn't want them to see her in this state. She covered her mouth with her hand to avoid screaming. She closed her eyes and remembered Arjun and the time they were alone in the dark, the way he had held her and looked after her during the darkness... her thoughts came to a halt when she realised that she was thinking about him again... no matter what, Arjun just didn't seem 2 leave her mind.- Her eyes shot open as she heard something moving in the room, "k.. k.. kaun hai??" Arohi grabbed the nearest object that she cud find and moved towards the direction of the noise. She made cautious steps but because of the darkness, she tripped over something... she instantly shut her eyes, waiting 4 the moment when she will hit the ground and hurt herself but instead of the hard ground, she felt a pair of protective arms wrap around her. The way skin of her bare waist reacted under his warm hand , She gradually opened her eyes as she realised his precense she knew it was none other than Arjun Singhania himself. When she fully opened her eyes, she found herself looking at a pair of intense chocolate brown eyes. They both continue just staring at one another in a deep eye lock, neither of them daring to shift their gaze.
"Arohi beta, don't be scared... the lights going to come back on soon... ek minute beta.."
Amrit's voice could be heard nearby, her voice broke the trance that Arjun and Arohi were both in. When they both realised their position, they straightened up, she tried to cover her exposed self with her delicate arms. that's when Arohi noticed the candle that Arjun was holding... Why didn't she notice this before? More importantly, what was Arjun doing here? Woh room ki andar pehle se tha kya??? But before she could ask anything to him, Arjun left from there, closing the door slowly as he went but b4 going, he placed the candle on top of the drawer carefully-so that Arohi wouldn't be scared as there will be light for her.
A few seconds later, Amrit entered the room, surprised seeing Arohi rooted in one spot in the centre, clearly lost in thought. Amrit walked upto her and touched her shoulders, bringing her back to present. "kya hua?"
"kuch nehi ma.. bas andhera"
"yes woh tho dikh raha hai but tumne aaj shout nehi ki?!"
"mum mujhe ab andhere se dhar nehi lagta.. sirf iss baat se dhar lagta hai ki koi andhere mein raaz na jaanle.. aur woh cheez na jaanle jho mein chupaana chaati hu.."
Amrit had no idea what arohi was talking about.. instead she tried changing the topic, "waise tujhe pata hai.. arjun yaha par hai par mil nehi raha.. do u knw where he is??"
Arohi shook her head in response. "acha mein neeche ja kar dekh thi hu.. shayad waha par hai.. aur light aane ke baad tum neeche aajana dinner karne ki liye"
"mujhe bhuk nehi hai"
"koi excuse nehi chalega.. chup chaap a kar khana ka lena.." her mum said in a serious tone to which arohi just nodded. Amrit smile and turned on her heel nd left the room.
Arohi sat down on her bed... many questions filling up in her head... questions that she needed answers to... but the only one with the answers was Arjun and he is too arrogant to answer them. But why was he here? He got what he wanted... what does he want now? What's going on in his mind? There was only one way to find out and that was to face him. The lights came back on and determinedly Arohi stood up and left her room.
She slowly made her way down the stairs to the dining room where everyone was having their dinner. In between her mother and Antra, there sat the great Arjun Singhania. She made her way down the stairs and stood right opposite Arjun... she hoped that he would look up and say something to her but instead he just sat there, staring at his plate, avoiding any form of eye contact with her.She suddenly became worried, yeh itna chup kyu hai? What if he's told mum everything?? She looked around nervously... but mum tho khush dikh rahi hai humesha ki thara.. kya baat hai? Her mind was trying its best to understand the situation but any situation with Arjun in it, is nothing but simple. Amrit saw her standing there and called her over, "kaisi wife ho tum?? Ghar par koi nehi hai aur tum bechare Arjun ko akele chor kar agayein.. kitna parishan ho raha hai"
Arohi murmured under her breath, "ye mere bgar nhi, mere saath pareshan hote hai"
"Tumhe khuch kaha" amrit asked. Arjun smirked in the background, "woh kehna chaati hai ki mein uski bina adhoora hu.. nd woh mere bigar" arohi looked at him and gave him a death glare which Antra noticed and started giggling.
"Acha come nd join us for dinner" Amrit asked.
"mujhe bhuk nehi hai" Arohi replied dryly. Amrit was about to argue with that when arjun spoke, "truly it's alright.. waise bhi yeh moti ho rahi hai" Arjun said whilst playing wid his fork as he suddenly broke his silence. Arohi looked at him dead shocked while Antra and Amrit chuckled.
"Jao tum mere liye salad le aao..." Arjun said whilst looking at Arohi. Arohi was dumbstruck,... he seemed different...in playing mood. there was something about him that was definitely different.. but what? It was something that she couldn't yet understand.
She frowned as she walked into the kitchen, completely confused with his behaviour. The remainder of the dinner went by fairly well with the continuous teasing and snide remarks from Arjun and constant giggling from Antra and her bak bak. After spending a lot of time together and listening to Antra's talks, Amrit spoke, "Bas karo Antra.. Arjun ko late ho raha hoga."
Antra looked at her mum and in a sad tone, she responsed, "abhi tho hum sab ne saath mein coffee bhi nehi pee"
She looked towards Arjun with puppy-dog eyes and instantly Arjun agreed. Arohi was very surprised at this, Antra excitedly, "Jiju mein aapko trip ki pics dikhaati hu" saying this she jumped up and rushed up the stairs and into her bedroom.
He slightly held his head to which Arohi was confused, she knew he liked to live alone then why was he doing this??He was nt used to live wid family.Then why ?
Antra, "gud night jiju" winked teasingly, "sweet dreams."
Arohi shot angry glare to her.
amrit, "beta agar tum arohi ko sath le kar jana chahte ho.. to le ja skte ho. Us ka apna ghar hai wo phr aa kr reh le gi.
Arjun looked towards Arohi, "no its alright aunty" as he said this, he bent dwn to take hr ashirwad which made them all jump in shock. They were all usd to hs U.K culture, they all lukd at him in shock. Arjun smild slowly: gud night.(to which every1 nodded)
Arjun softly, "tum mujhe bahir tk chorne nhi aao gi ? . .wifey"
Her jaw dropped.. she was not able to believe . .how her sadu monster started to sound like 'chichura'. amrit,antra smiled . .she went behnd him.
He reached to his car, with Arohi following behind, kyun aaey ho ?"
He paused and turned to face her. Feelng da magnetic pull of his eyes, she looked away. . .slowly, "tumhe dene k lye ab mere pas kuch bacha bhi nhi hai"
His voice dead shock her: tumhare paas hai
her face turned pale in horror,she clentched her shawl tightly to keep her strength.
He continue, "Mr.Mittal ki file.
She sighed in relief,but still her shock was not less, "itna kuch hogya bt phr bhi tumhe business k elawa kuch nazar nhi aata" she thought.
She dryly replied, "wo cmplete nhi hai" She folded her arms, "aur wese bhi tum bhul rahe ho.. men resign kr chuki hun."
He leand back on his car, "bhoolne ka deparment mera nhi,tumhara hai mrs.Singhania"
She snapped, "no more !" He remain silent for a moment to absorb this bitter truth.
He asked, "apni family ko kyun nhi btaya?" to which She stammerd, "mom pehle he buht preshan hen..." She luked him ,her eyes full of fake attitude, "bta dungi. .bad me"
he rolled his eyes, "whtever. .tum ne job join krte hue ek contract sign kya tha. .shayd tumhe us ka 17 clause yaad nhi hai'"
She stubbornly, "mujhe life time job krni pre gi aesa koi clause nhi tha us men . ."
He smirked: life time nhi . .but 3 months. u have to complete ur 3 months resignation period.
Her jaw dropped,she luked hm in shock.Her frustation was clearly visible from her twistd nose. She frowned, "men nhi.."
He opend his car door, and as he entered, "sharp at nine . .late aao to overtime ke lye tayaar rehna.." saying this he closed the door, and looked at a shocked arohi, "sweet dreams."
And he then off while she looked hm helplessly, "3 months. .daily 12 hours" . . tears rolled down on her soft cheeks, "kyun mere lye sb kuch itna mushkil bna rhe ho." She slowly touch her stomach,where his nishani was breathing featherly.
mere pyar men ab aur takat nhi hai. .men aur hurt nhi hoskti.chahe kuch bhi ho ye sch me tumhe kbhi nhi btaungi.
Arjun, whilst driving, called his P.A, "contracts ki 17th clause men 3 weeks ko 3 months men change krdo.. right now!!!"
P.A, "but sir'"
Arjun, "that's an order!"
The P.A. knew that it was best to just obey the order because sir always liked to get what he wanted.
He cut the call, and smiled on his victory, "everything is fair in love & war. Chahe kuch bhi ho . . men tumhe khud se dur jane nhi dunga.. men tumhe apne pyar ka yakeen dila kr rhunga!"
