Arshi FF: I love you, I trust you! (Thread 2) - Page 26

"Anjaliji, I cannot do this"

"What do you mean?"

"You never told me he was married."

"So? He is not happy with her."

"Really? He looked very happy when I went to his room. What .. what are you trying to do?"

"I know my brother. He thinks he is happy. She tricked him; she is not right for him."

"Anjaliji, well his happiness seemed genuine to me. He is a grown man. I am sure he can make his decisions on his own. How can you do this to him? How can you purposely try to separate Arnav from his wife? Why are you trying to break off your brother's marriage? What kind of a woman are you?"

"I am his sister and I care about him. The question is, Priya, do you want to help me or not?"

Priya looked at Anjali and folded her arms; Anjali was sitting on her bed, Priya leaning against a table, looking at her.

"No, I don't."

Anjali gave an arrogant smirk. "I see, you met NK and now you forgot about Arnav. I didn't expect this from you. I thought you said you loved Arnav."

"I did, and I still do. But .. but he is happy.. and why would I.. "

Anjali sat up straight, her face clouded with anger. "Well, you will.. you will if you want to keep your job at AR. I got you the job and I can throw you out too. You do want the money don't you? Do you realize you wont find another job if I fire you and give you a bad recommendation."

Priya's eyes widened with shock; her eyes filled up with tears as she remembered how she had called Anjali a week back.

Anjali had seemed so happy, and like her old self. They had talked for a while and Priya had explained her situation over phone. Her father's business went bankrupt and he was in debt; her brother was not helping them, he was living abroad with his family and had stopped calling them, ever since he heard their father was in debt. All the stress affected her mother, who fell ill. Her father was trying to find another job, but the bankruptcy had taken the life out of him and he had become old and weak, just over the course of a few days. So Priya had decided that she had to help. She hadn't had a great education, so she was having trouble finding a job that paid a lot. That is when she had remembered Anjali. The Raizadas were rich; maybe they could help. Their families had been close when Arnav and Anjali had lived in Lucknow. Anjali had cheerfully agreed to get her a job in AR. A few days later Priya had gotten the employment letter. She had been so excited.

Then earlier this morning, Anjali had called her; Priya remembered the conversation.

"Priya when are you getting here?"

"Anjaliji, I am in the bus now."

"I have a favor to ask you".

"What, Anjaliji?"

"Do you still love my brother?"

Priya remembered Arnav; her first crush, her first love. She had always dreamt of marrying him, ever since she had started thinking of marriage. But she hadn't seen him in fifteen years and all of a sudden, that warm feeling of love washed over her; thinking of him made her feel weak in her knees and she felt goosebumps on her skin. She closed her eyes, saw his face, smiled as she sighed and opened them again.

"Anjaliji, why.. I mean I.. I.."

"I asked do you still love him?"

"Yes, I think soo.."

"Well, I want you to make him fall in love with you and marry you, can you do that?"

Priya's mouth opened wide, "Anjaliji, what are you... "

"Yes.. or no.." "

Anjaliji.. I mean.. "

"Yes.. or no.."

"I guess.. I could.. maybe.."

"Good.. get to Shantivan as soon as you can, with your luggage.. " Anjali hung up the call and Priya stared at her mobile phone.

Priya looked at Anjali, her eyes filled with tears. "Anjaliji, what happened to you? You were never this way.. "

"Well, Priya, situations have changed. My brother's life is in danger. I need to help him before she destroys him. Life made me this way, Priya.. you will never understand. Do you want to help me or not?"

Priya thought of her troubles at home and thought about how she could help her parents. Maybe if I tell Arnav about Anjali's plans, maybe he will help me out.. but.. will he believe me? Priya remembered how much Arnav doted on his sister.

Her thoughts were interrupted as Anjali asked, "Do you want to help me or not?"

Priya wiped her tears and said angrily. "You don't leave me a choice. If I had known that.." She paused, her face filled with pain and a tear rolled down her cheek. "that Arnav was married.. I would have never.. " she bit her lip to control her tears and left the room.
