Complicated Arhi FF Part 25 Pg 137,NTL Pg 147 - Page 4

He just came out of the conference room and as he switched on his phone it rang. Seeing the number he raised his brows. He knew why he has been called so desperately, to celebrate the happiness of that person whom he hates from the bottom of his heart. Sighing deeply he attend the phone

"Hello"

"Chotte kahan ho tum? Tumhain main ne kaha bhi tha jaldi aane ko, tum jaante ho na aaj …." As he expected his sister started hearing his voice and he cut her sentence as he was not interested in knowing the reason because he knew it very well and of course he had waited for this day to come from past 12 years.

"Janta hoon Di, I hope aap ko bhi yaad hoga ke Maa ne jaane se pehle kya kaha tha" As he said Anjali silenced for a while although Neha take promise from both but according to her it was not the right time to reveal the truth

"Yaad hai, per chotte yeh sub bohat jaldi hoga Khushi ke liye aur ..."

"Di baat 17 saal tak ki hui thi aur aaj uss ka 17^th birthday hai, toh usse aaj sab such batana hoga. Aap nahi batao gi toh main bata doon ga"

"Chotte tum kyun nahi samajh rahe ho, aaj uss ke liye khushi ka din hai aur tum usse such bata ker sirf dukh aur takleef do ge aur …"

"I don't care usse dukh ho ya takleef mujhe faraq nahi parhta, uss ki wajah se mere parents chale gaye, aap mujh se door ho gayee, aap ko meri takleef nazar kyun nahi aati Di" Anjali could sense the pain in his voice but she cannot do anything

"Chotte tum kyun bhool jaate ho ke tumhara bhi Khushi se koi rishta hai, woh tumhari ……"

"Di please main aise kisi rishte ko nahi manta, mera rishta Mom Dad aur aap ke saath hai and that's it. Na woh kal mere liye kuch thi aur na aaj hai"

"Per woh toh tumhain apna ….." He silenced her once again

"Di for God Sake I do not want to argue; She is nothing for me"

"Ok but please tum ghar aa jao abhi, Khushi zid ker rahi hai ke jab tak tum nahi aao ge woh cake cut nahi kare gi" Now she came to the real point

"I don't care, main 12 bje ke baad aa jaoon ga" Before he had to listen more of nonsense he cut the call

"Chotte .. Cho …." Anjali sighed as she stared at the phone blankly; only then Khushi came there with her ever smiling face

"Di aap ne Arnav Bhiya ko phone kiya?" First question she asked and the hope in her eyes to hear a Yes, that he would come to her birthday, Anjali cannot afford to break that.

"Haan Chotte ki aaj conference thi na, tumhain yaad hai uss ne kal bataya tha, per woh keh raha tha ke woh aane ki poori koshish kare ga" Anjali lied as she cannot see her sparkling face to turn dim and dark at what exactly he said

"Acha" Her smiling lips shrink for a while

"Don't be sad Khushi, it's your birthday, Let's cut the cake" and for now she could not say no to Anjali after almost saying no for more than 30 times

"Let's Go" Khushi smiled again brightly, and that was the best part of her personality

**********************************

He was preparing for his finals of MBA as he had to maintain his previous top record. In his exams days it was a compulsion for everyone not to come in his room and disturb him, his Di is an exceptional case. Keeping aside all the grievances he had with Anjali, he still find it very difficult to speak harsh with her, because she always been a second mother to him and took care of him like one.

He was busy in memorizing the one long essay he was stuck from past half an hour when heard a soft knock on the door. He looked up and as he did he frowned and his face turned red in anger

"Arnav Bhiya hum aa jaien?" She asked in her innocent voice

"No, just get out" He said straightly not even bother to see why she had come here

"Hum aap ke liye yeh cake le ker aaye hain" She said still standing in the door

"Toh wapis le jao" He said still not looking at her

"Per aaj aap ka birthday hai, aur yeh cake hum ne khud aap ke liye banaya hai" This was it, she was getting on his nerves now. He got up and went to her in rage. He held her arms so tightly causing her scream in pain

"Why can't you understand, I don't want you anywhere near me, tumhain mere liye kuch bhi kerne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!" He yelled in her ears and her whole body starts shivering

"Per aap hamare bhai hain toh hum kyun aap ke liye …." Before she could complete he silenced her, digging his nails deeply in her arms so she hissed in pain

"I'm not, Get this thing clear meri sirf aik behan hai aur woh hai Anjali Di, tum nahi" He left her aggressively and turned around not looking how much he hurt her by his cruel words, tears started rolling on her cheeks and she left from there silently

**********************************

His phone beeped once again and he has to come out of his thoughts. He looked at screen and sighed. It was again his Di. Frustrated he switched off his phone as he was in no mood of talking to her

**********************************

It was 12:05 now. It happened again; he did not come yet again. For everybody in the house she still was the same 5 years old baby girl who had lost her parents. She has always been blessed in getting love and affection. Still a part of her feel empty as her elder brother do not want to accept her as his sister. It was not like as if she hadn't tried to work on it, she did for several times but every time she did something for him, she get tears in return. Today everyone was cheering her to make her day special but she as always was waiting for her elder brother to come and wish her just with two words, 'Happy Birthday' all she wanted to listen but as always happened he did not show up.

She take out the pen he once gifted her from the cupboard.

"Arnav Bhiya aap kyun hum se itna naraz hain? Yeh jaante hue bhi ke sirf Anjali Di hi nahi hum bhi aap ki behan hain phir kyun aap yeh such nahi maante?" Lots of questions were racing in her head and she don't have answer to a single one

**********************************

The girl Khushi Singh Raizada was the biggest pain in his life since the day she stepped in their house. He would have accepted her as sister if she really were his real sister but she was not! And that truth he must have to tell her, to answer her questions which he could read in her eyes every time he came across with her.

**********************************
