Acchi Lagti Ho
OS | 23
Mujhe Tum Chupke Chupke Jab Aise Dekhti Ho
Achchi Lagti Ho
Hearing the alarm buzzing, his eyes flew open. Sitting up, he stretched his arms while yawning and get out from the bed quickly.
"Its time" Just for confirmation, he looked at the clock and stood behind the curtained railing door of his room which leads to the attached terrace. Putting the curtain away, he looked at the front terrace to not find HER in her usual spot. Sighing, he again looked at clock, scratched his head and once again look infront to find the scene, he was so used to now.
Kabhi Zulfon Se Kabhi Aanchal Se Jab Khelti Ho
Achchi Lagti Ho
Wrapping her hairs in a towel she came into the terrace of her room which was exactly opposite to his. Wearing a half sleeved light yellow cotton suit with dupatta hanging on one shoulder, her face fresh with the shower that she just took...
"Sohni" The word escaped his mouth. That's what he said when he saw her for the first time after her family shifted into his neighbourhood and from.then on, the name was stick to her.
She took off the towel from her hairs and stroke it lightly with her hairs, making it absorb the excessive water while her eyes were wandering on to his terrace. Seeing the curtains still down, she frowned.
"Abhi tak sou raha hai...Yaan mujhe satanay k liye samne nahi aa raha..." She thought still titling her neck to look around but that was of no use. She corrected her dupatta and a wicked idea got in her mind as she clicked her fingers and smirked.
"abhi dekhti hoon...Arjun Singhania" She went inside her room, giving a last look and pulled the curtains down, distracting his view.
"Ye kahan gaye" Scratching his head he came into the terrace and leaned against the railing.
"Seeti maroon?...Par seeti tau gali k gunday marte hain...Phir...Paper ball bana k pheenkon...Par kissi or ko lag gaya tau" Being a duffer that he was, he ran a hand through his bed made messy hairs.
Arohi giggled looking at her from behind the curtains now.
"I knew k parday k peeche se dekh raha hoga...Arjun Singhania...You are not that clever" She smiled and dialled his phone number on her mobile which she was already holding.
Hearing his phone ringing in that his ever so favourite ringtone "Goonji si hai...Sari fiza...Jaise bajti hoon sehnaiyan" that was only allocated to one person, he smiled and rushed inside to grab it.
Seeing SOHNI mentioning, he quickly picked it up and fell on th bed taking a deep breath and smiling lips.
Mujhe Dekhke Jab Tum Yuh Thandi Aahe Bharte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
"Sharam nahi ati tumhain...Chupke se larkiyon ko tar-te ho" She scolded in her ever so sweet voice. His heart felt full of love.
"Tauba tauba...Main aik sanskari larka hoon...Awain har kissi ko nahi tar-ta...Par tumhari baat alag hai" He winked and rolled on his bed hugging th pillow.
"Accha...wo kyun...?" She challenged him, perfectly anticipating a correct answer
"Kyun ke tumhain tar-ne ka licence maine kal poori colony main sab k samne liya hai...and tumhare baba ne us pe ashirwad ki stamp b lagai hai".
Arohi fell on her bed too and looked at the ring that he made her wore yesterday, during this engagement ceremony.
"Hmmm..." She hummed remembering that moment when that delicate ring was slipped into her fourth finger. She felt loved, possessed and happy as finally their love found their destination.
"Speechless abh haan..." He closed his eyes to clearly imagine her blushed face.
"Ring pasand aaye..." He questioned as it was selected by him mainly and with the concent of his mother, he had finalized it.
"Bohut...Its beautiful...Apni jaan se zyada sambhal k rakhoon gi" She promised.
"Nope...Wo tumhain karne ki zaroorat nahi...ye ring mujhe tumhari jaan se zyada pyari nahi Arohi...Tum kabhi apni jaan ki value ko underestimate na kia karo" She smiled at his loveable lines. He was a simple person but his love was so different.
Mujhko Jab Lagta Hai Tum Mujhpar Hi Marte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
"Chalo...abh jaldi se terrace pe aoo...Mujhe tumhain dekhna hai...or phir mujhe job k liye bhi nikalna hai" He got up from the bed and wore his slippers before he get out in the terrace.
"Kyun...dekh tau liya tumne...Chori say" She rolled her wet strand in her fingers and had a shy smile on her face. The giggle in her voice was hard to miss.
"Wo maine us larki ko dekha jiss se main pyaar karta hoon...chori chori chupke chupke wala...abh mujhe apni finance ko dekhna hai...wo b haq se" He chupped his face with one hand while keeping her elbow on the railing. His eyes were fixed on the front.
"Accha...or agar baba ne dekh liya phir..." She took slow steps towards th curtains and with one hand swayed it a little, making him groan in the phone.
"Arohi..." He warned and whined. She giggled and came in the view as he took a deep breath.
"Main har roz ye sochta hoon k tumhain aj kal se zyada chahne laga hoon...or har roz tum mujhe or mohabbat karne pe majboor kar deti ho" He was looking at her from far away but she could still feel the heat of his gaze. Her lashes were down as she leaned against the wall, feeling the rise in her heart beat.
"Kya howa...Tum nahi kuch kaho gi?"
"Kia kahoon...?" She whispered.
""Wohi jo maine kaha hai" He grinned seeing her turn all red.
"Kia...k har roz tumhain kal se zyada chahne lagti hoon?" She questioned and looked up.
"Wo bhi chalay ga..."
"I love you Arohi..." And he passed a gesture of a flying kiss.
"Hmmm..." Arohi made an action of catching it, making hm smile.
"Deyhan se dekho...Sahi se mill gaye kia" He said with a sly smirk.
"Kia?" She wondered.
"Meri kiss..." He laughed making her whine now. In the mean time, Arjun heard the faint voice of knock on his room door.
"Bhaiya...Jaldi aa jao neeche...Maa bula rahi hain" His sister Shefali said and ran away hearing his "Aata hoon"
"Chalo...phir baat hoti hai...Maa bula rahi hai..." Arohi nodded and wishing eachother bye, Arohi cut the call as her mother too called her.
Arjun took the shower and came out to check his phone when a message popped up.
"I love you too...Have a great day ahead" He smiled and kissed his phone before he buttoned up his shirt and getting hold of his things, rushed down.
Tum Mein Aey Meherbaan
Sari Hai Khoobiyan
Bholapan Saadgi
Dilkashi Taazgi
Next day, he was coming back from the office on his bike when he found her, helping an old woman in crossing the busy road infront of her university. He parked his bike onto a side and watched her feeling extremely lucky to have this soft-hearted and loved filled lady in his life.
Holding her heavy grocery bag in one hand and making a stop sign for the cars with another one, she made the woman get to the other side where she probably have resided. Arohi gave the grocery bag to an equally old man, who rushed out from the house and said thank you to her before she rushed back onto the bus stop only to find him their. She smiled and get close to him.
"Tum yahan?" She asked shyingly
He crossed his hands on his chest and looked at her with love filled eyes.
"Wo tau accha hai k tumhari university mere office k raste main parti hai...warna main aise maukay kho deta"
"Kaise mauke?" She wondered.
"Akele date pe lay janay ka...Chalo aoo..."
He held her hand and pulled her at his back so that she was now sitting on his back seat with her hand on his shoulder.
"Par Arjun..." She was hesitant.
"Dont worry...I know aj coloney main Suman ki sangeet ka function hai...Par I promise...time se ghar pohancha doon ga" Not letting her have any other excuse, he brought the engine of the bike to life as she sat.
"Kass k pakar lo..." She smiled, knowing perfectly what he meant.
"Abhi kass k pakarne ka haq nahi diya baba nay" She said, making him groan as she held his shoulder instead of his waist.
"Wo bhi abh jald hi layna paray ga...Or phir mujhe tum pe har type k haq hoon gay" He commented, making her blush as they went to a near by resturant.
He ordered a glass of fresh juice with two straws. She hesitated as he gave her a meaningful look, urging her to share it.
"Arjun" She whined
"What Arjun?...You know ye tau bus practice hai...Shadi k baaf tau tumhain mere saath sab kuch share karna hai...abhi se sharma rahi ho tau phir kia karo gi" She gave him a pouted look but seeing his fake glare, she narrowed jer eyes and never the less started to sip.
Arjun smiled seeing her blushing and took a sip. He made their heads strike making her looked at him and the rest of the juice was finished in between their locked gaze.
Dilkashi Tumse Hai
Taazgi Tumse Hai
Tum Hue Humnashi
Ho Gayi Main Haseen
Rang Tumse Mile Hai Sare
Later, She was wearing a beautiful blue lehnga having gold zari work on it. The half sleeved choli was covering her body pretty well except the deep cut back side. Her hairs were open, a small gold bindi was shinning in between her perfect eyebrows, kohl was making her already sweet eyes more bright, light base was applied on her face along with a dull pink lipsticks adoring her petals. Blue and gold jhumkas were giving a final touch to her glorious self along with those tinkling bangles.
She was never a make up person, but for Arjun, she wanted to look at her best.
As soon as Arjun with his mother and sister, entered the pandal that was built up on the road by Mr. Mehta, Suman's father, his eyes started their search for her.
"Arohi...Kahan ho tum?" His eyes turned empty as some of the neighbours came up to him and shook their hands, distracting him for a minute before he took out his mobile and messaged her.
"Where are you? I am already in here"
Right then he started to hear the commotion from the enteance of pandal and found his substance of attraction.
Arohi along with his best neighbourhood friend cum the bride, Suman entered along with other girls. A smile automatically formed on his lips on seeing her wearing his fav color.
She was giggling along with other girls, cracking funny jokes, making Suman go beet rooted red when she suddenly felt something strange and turned her head in the friend to find him standing in the front, lost in a trance, looking as handsome as ever in a plain black decent Kameez with a punjabi shalwar below.
He winked at her making her bit her lower lip and raised his one hand up. The thumb met the 2nd finger making an 'O' while three fingers stood straight, making her know that she is looking 'superb'.
She blushed hard and turned her attention back on Suman as he was such a big disyraction and she certainly dont want to miss her steps being lost in him, that csrtainly had a BIG chance.
"Arre wah Arohi...Apnay Arjun Miyan tau aj apne usual time se pehle aa gaye..." One of the neighborhood married girl, Amirah commented.
"Abh engagement ka kuch tau asar hona tha na...Warna pehle yaad hai...Sara function guzarne k baad kaise idher khana khulta tha or udher Arjun Bhai kay darshan hotay thay" Girls giggled remembering their old colony days.
"Pehle kuch unke Interest ka bhi tau nahi hota tha na idher..." Arohi so wanted to hide somewhere. Her shyness was getting enjoyed by all but she retorted back.
"Meri chodo...Tum Sanchit bhai pe nazar rakho...Patah nahi idher udher kiss ko dekh rahay hain" Arohi tried to distract Amirah taking her husband name but Amirah had been through these times and knew what she was trying to do. So she took a fake sigh and said in a dramatic tone
"Abh khair har aik ki kismat aisa thori hoti hai k aik larka sab ko ignore kar k khali usi ko dekhay" Arohi looked at Arjun to find him standing in a corner with a drink in his hand but rarely taking a sip as his eyes were taking their fill of her
"Oh Arjun" She cursed her Majnu under her breath and looked at girls who were giving her meaningful smiles before she rushed away from their. The girls at the back roared in laughter.
As if he got the chance, he left th drink on a nearby table and moved towards her who was now standing in a secluded space taking out song CDs from a bag which was brought earlier by some friends.
Arjun got the chance and moved close to her.
Taarif Jo Sunke Tum Aise Sharma Jati Ho
Achchi Lagti Ho
Kabhi Haas Deti Ho Aur Kabhi Itraa Jati Ho
Achchi Lagti Ho
"Soniyon...Kehnde ho tau main kuch madad kar dawan"
(Soniyo...Kehti ho tau main kuch madad kar doon) He said putting his hand forward to covered her. Their back was towards the guests and infront was the end of pandal so no one could see whatever was happening in between.them.
Arjun played with her fingers as she tried to pull her hand away but he couldn't let that. Arohi too enjoyed getting all the attention from him.
"Tum aj bohut khoobsurat lag rahi hoo Arohi..." Arohi looked at him and tuck few loose strands behind her ear.
"Thank you"
"Ye mere pyaar ka asar hai k hamari mangni ka" He teased her as she whined
"Arjun...Acchi main hamesha se lagti hoon" She said with a raised nose.
"hmmm...Wo tau hai...Par is baar kuch tau special hai...Kaho tau prove karne k liye aik demo dekhaoon..." He raised her hand up to kiss the finger where his ring was placed when Arohi's mother called her, making them both pull apart quickly.
"Ayee Maa..." She rushed away from their, leaving him running hand through his hairs. Damn, how he loved her.
******************
"Arohi...Beta ja k zara Apni Aaye k liye pani tau lay aoo" Arohi's mother asked her referring 'Aaye' to Arjun's mother Rachna.
"G Maa..." Arohi said and was abou to leave when Rachna held her hand and pulled her close to kiss her forehead.
"Aj meri bahu kitni sundar lag rahi hai..." She rub her kohl eyes with her finger and put a black mark behind Arohi's ear.
"Kissi ki nazar na lagay" Rachna looked at Arjun who was standing away but surly understood the meaningful look passed by his mother and the ladies laughed.
Right then, Suddha, the bride's mother come to the ladies. Being neighbors, all ladies were too close to each other
"Bhabhi g...Abh app bhi tayari shuru karo...Apni colony may agli shadi tau Arjun or Arohi ki hi hogi abh" OMG! Why everyone is teasibg her today. Arohi thought and rushed away. Just hearing the marriage word speed up her heart beat but nothing could stop her to imagine that day and yearned for it.
Mujhe Dekhke Jab Tum Yuh Thandi Aahe Bharte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
The whole wedding of Suman was seems to be a teasing journey for Arohi as no one left a stone unturned to make her blush. If that was not enough, Arjun constant gaze made that more terrible but none the less, she enjoyed all the love he was showering on her.
Khoye Se Tum Ho Kyon
Soch Mein Gum Ho Kyon
Three months later:
"Arjun..." His mother Rachna called him as he was gling up to his room after taking his dinner. His fingers were constantly typing something on his mobile and with a distracted voice he replied.
"Ji maa..." Rachna took some slow steps towards him before she ran her hand on his shoulder in love.
"Beta...Mangni ko teen mahinay ho gaye hain...Sab pooch rahay hain k shadi kab tak hogi...Main soch rahi thi k Iss hafte Alhuwalia Sahib k yahan ja k shadi ki date ki date hi fix kar aoon"
Arjun head rose up in shock.
"Par Ma..." But before he could say something, Rachna intrupt him
"Khali date rakh layte hain...Tayari main bhi waqt lagta hain...Teen Char mahinay baad ki hi sahi..." The hopefull eyes of her old age Mother really pushed him to give in.
"Theek hai Maa...Jaisay appko sahi lagay..."
"Main aisa karti hoon k shagun lay k janay se pehle Smriti se baat karti hoon...Patah karti hoon k Arohi k finals kab tak hain...Uske aik do mahine k baad ki.hi.koi tareekh rakhain phir" Arjun nodded and patted his mobile phone on his palm when rigjt then it beeped and after reading the incoming message, he got more angry.
Running his hands desperately in his hairs, he took a detour and instead pf going up, h went out of the house, trying to find some solace.
Arohi who was waiting for him in her terrace, was leaning on the rail. She looked into her mobile phone on last time. No message from him today. Wondering what happened. May be another late night in office. She thought.
But right then, Arjun get out lost in his thoughts. She waved her hand with a smile on her face but that couldnt catch his attention.
Frowning, she looked at him and called him in a slow voice.
"Arjun" He stopped, looked up with tired eyes.
She raised her hand up motioning "Kia howa" But he just shook his head and turn away to go walk on the road.
His distraction look made her worried. He never looked so low. He was a happy go lucky man, a person who always love to tease other, making them smile.
She went back to her room and paced a little in worry. After their engagement, his problem was not only his, but her too. She wanted him to share it whatever was bothering him as in return, it bothered her too.
Opening her room door, she looked around to check if her baba and Maa were still up but seeing the coast clear, she tip toed towards the main door of the house, unbolted it and get out, leaving a sigh of relief that she was holding. With brisked step, she followed the path he went on.
Baat Jo Dil Mein Ho
Keh Bhi Do Keh Bhi Do
He was sitting on a bench near the small park in their colony that was situated a few feet away from their houses. Looking ahead into the empty space, je took a deep breath.
Why life is suddenly taking this distracted turn.
He wondered as a lone tear ran down his face.
Being lost in his thoughts, he didnt notice her sitting beside himself. She had nit missed the tear. She never missed anything about him from the time she committed herself to him.
He jerked as she put a hand on his shoulder and looked at her worried eyes.
"Arjun...Kia howa?" Her hand raised up hesitantly as she cupped his face slowly, feeling his rough stubble against the softness of her palm and wiped th tear with her thumb.
He was lost in her care, her worried eyes. He held her hand that was cupping his face and played with her fingers, putting it in his lap as he thought if he should tell her.
He knew it will worry her too and that was the last thing he wanted now.
"Batao na...Ghar main kuch howa...Ayee nay kuch kaha?" She probed him but he shook his head in negative.
"Phir...Office ka koi issue hai" And he kept mum. He couldn't lie to her but his response confirm her words.
"Boss nay kuch kaha"
"Arohi..." He took a deep breath and got up with helplessness.
"Boss nay kuch nahi kaha...Par resession ki wajha se bohut problem hai...Kal hi boss nay 2 new employs ko restigate kia...Sab emplyees ki performance check ho rahi hai" He explained.
"Hmmm...Par tum kyun fikar kar rahay ho..." She stood up and hugged his one arm.
"I know tumhari peformance bohut acchi hogi...Koi gadha hi tumhari value nahi kare ga" She bend her head forward to see him trying to control his smile.
"Agar mere boss nay abhi ye Gadha word sun liya na...Tau aik second se pehle nikal bahi karain gay" He looked at her as she smiled and got wrapped loosely into his arms.
"Tum fikar na karo...I will pray for you...Tumhari job ka koi issue nahi hoga...Par to be on the safe side, tum dosri jagha b job k liye try karna start karo..." She said in a serious tone as he nodded his head and kept looking down at her fingers which were placed on his chest.
"Or bhi kuch hai?" She felt it somehow seeing him still lost.
"Hmm...Maa aj mujhe pooch rahi thi k shadi ki date kab ki rakhon...Ofcourse date tau tumhare semester khatam honay k baad ki hogi...But with this job issue ...Or you know unki heart condition...Main nahi chahta k wo kissi bhi tarhan pareshan hoon...Phir tumhare parents..." Feeling helpless, he looked up at face.
"Arohi...I want to make our wedding a happy affair...Main apni, tumhari, maa, shefali sab ki wishes poori karna chahta hoon...But agar main khud settle nahi hoon ga apni job main...tau Hum apni life main kaise settle ho sakain gay...Agar doosri jagha job mill jati hai...Phir b I will need a little time" Arohi felt like doing Awww at his cute childish face.
Her hands rose up and first time they went around his neck, locking behind.
"Budhu ram...Kina sochday ho tussi"
(Budhu ram...Tum sochte kitna hi) She said with a giggle.
"Pehle hi bata diya karo mujhe...See, I have a perfect solution" Arjun looked at her with deep interest.
"Is semester k baad I was thinking to do a small 3 months course that my friend recommended...Pehle I was thinking k ye shadi k baad bhi ho sakta hai...Par abh main Maa or Baba ko kahon gi k first Main ye course complete karna chahti hoon ta k after marriage, I will have free time"
And Arjun knew this will work. She will make her parents agree.
Sochta Hoon Ke Main
Kya Pukaron Tumhe
Dilnashin Naazneen
Mahroo Mehzabeen
Yeh Sab Hai Naam Tumhare
He took a deep breath as slowly he felt all his tension going away and was at peace.
"You are so my angel" He said and laid his lips on her cheeks, making her go all red.
"Arjun" She warned.
"Abh kia...You can also kiss me back...Mujhe koi problem nahi" And blushing, she turned her head to the other side.
A minute later, she struggled in his hands, trying to go away. While lost in her, he hardly noticed any struggle. Her red cheeks, her lip biting was a strong distraction till the time she tried a little hardee.
"Chalo choro mujhe...Mujhe jana hai"
But in response, all he did was pull her more close, making her more flustered.
"Ar...Arjun...Kia kar rahay ho?" She asked stuttering while her eyes went wide.
"Pyaar..." He kept her close with one hand and raised other one to his lips before he kissed each individual finger, making her breath get shallow. Her eyes closed as she hide her face in the side of his chest, clasping his shirt tightly in her other hand.
"Ar...jun..." She could only took his name while he tortured her a lil more before he entwined their fingers.
"Arohi...Sab k samne main bohut koshish karta hoon khud ko rokne ki...Par aj akele main..." And he took a deep breath. "I am sorry agar tumhain kuch bura laga ho" But as he finished, she backed off and covered his mouth with her other hand and shook her head.
"Tumhain Haq hai..." She said with sincerity that made his heart go wild and ge pulled her in a warm hug as he promised to not go over board till he will have every kind of right on her.
Mere Itne Sare Naam Hai Jab Tum Yeh Kehte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
Mere Pyaar Mein Jab Tum Khoye Khoye Se Rehte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
Later everything was arranged as they hav thought. Arohi had made her parents understand and without leaking out any unstability of Arjun's job, they have fixed their marriage to take place after 8 months on a date suggested by the pandit.
Wearing a baby pink sari, she was made to sit beside him as the parents enchamged shagun but for Arjun, it was the hardest to sit neside her when she was looking nothing but a true angel in her pure beauty. The least he could do was hold her hand under her sari.
Sh had prayed for his job and though, he was not terminated from his job, he got a better one which were ready to pay him another 10000rs more than he was already earning and that was icing on the cake for him.
"Tau...Abh mera gift kahan hai...Itni pooja ki tumhri job k liye maine" She asked putting forward her hand as they were once again seating in that same bench, they shared 3 months before.
Arjun looked at her naugtily as he leaned onto her side, making her lean back.
"Soniyo, Gift tau main doon ga par abhi nahi shadi k baad" He said with a glint in his eyes that made her lips raise in a smile.
"Accha...Aisa kaun sa gift hai jo sirf shadi k baad diya ja sakta hai" She was back with her words.
"Abh honeymoon pay tau main shadi k baad hi lay k ja sakta hoon...Nahi...k pehle janay ka irada hai" He winked at the end. The mere word Honeymoon had her trapped in between her words. She was just so speechless.
Arjun loved the effect that he had on her. Her eyes were fill with a mixture of love happiness, excitement and shyness.
He got straight and pulled her in a side hug.
"I know gift bara hai...Par tum mujhe abhi se thank you bolna shuru karo tau honeymoon k time tak you will be debt free" He said but Arohi mind was still stick to that honeymoon word.
"Thank you?" She murmered.
And with mischevious eyes, he leaned his cheek forward near her lips.
"OMG..." She hit his shoulder. "Arjun...Tum din ba din besharm.hotay ja rahay ho" She moved a bit away from him, trying to hide her blush in her anger but he was not going to let her go so easily.
"Besharam? Or main...Arohi, agar engagement period pe koi larka aisi baatain na kare tau problem hoti hai...Or abhi tau maine tumhain bataya bhi nahi k main interest kaise loon ga" She raised her brow only to see him making his lips curved into a kiss posture that had her heart go wilder. He smiled whole heartedly seeing her beet rooted red face before she couldn't take it any more and ran away from their.
Arjun smiled to himself as he leaned back on the bench and watched her run away.
"I so love you Arohi...God, I can't wait to get married now" He ruffled his hairs as he start dreaming about their future. As ONE.
( Achchi Lagti Ho
Achche Lagte Ho )?(3)
(The engagement period is one of the best and one of the most troublesome too...While your one comment, one action, one deed can make someone extremely happy and make your bond stronger, it can create problems too and make it break too.
Its kind of a tester as how this relationship will go forward after marriage. So be careful, be compassionate and be understanding as that's what a relationship is all about)

Mujhe Tum Chupke Chupke Jab Aise Dekhti Ho
Achchi Lagti Ho
Hearing the alarm buzzing, his eyes flew open. Sitting up, he stretched his arms while yawning and get out from the bed quickly.
"Its time" Just for confirmation, he looked at the clock and stood behind the curtained railing door of his room which leads to the attached terrace. Putting the curtain away, he looked at the front terrace to not find HER in her usual spot. Sighing, he again looked at clock, scratched his head and once again look infront to find the scene, he was so used to now.

Wrapping her hairs in a towel she came into the terrace of her room which was exactly opposite to his. Wearing a half sleeved light yellow cotton suit with dupatta hanging on one shoulder, her face fresh with the shower that she just took...
"Sohni" The word escaped his mouth. That's what he said when he saw her for the first time after her family shifted into his neighbourhood and from.then on, the name was stick to her.
She took off the towel from her hairs and stroke it lightly with her hairs, making it absorb the excessive water while her eyes were wandering on to his terrace. Seeing the curtains still down, she frowned.
"Abhi tak sou raha hai...Yaan mujhe satanay k liye samne nahi aa raha..." She thought still titling her neck to look around but that was of no use. She corrected her dupatta and a wicked idea got in her mind as she clicked her fingers and smirked.
"abhi dekhti hoon...Arjun Singhania" She went inside her room, giving a last look and pulled the curtains down, distracting his view.
"Ye kahan gaye" Scratching his head he came into the terrace and leaned against the railing.
"Seeti maroon?...Par seeti tau gali k gunday marte hain...Phir...Paper ball bana k pheenkon...Par kissi or ko lag gaya tau" Being a duffer that he was, he ran a hand through his bed made messy hairs.
Arohi giggled looking at her from behind the curtains now.
"I knew k parday k peeche se dekh raha hoga...Arjun Singhania...You are not that clever" She smiled and dialled his phone number on her mobile which she was already holding.
Hearing his phone ringing in that his ever so favourite ringtone "Goonji si hai...Sari fiza...Jaise bajti hoon sehnaiyan" that was only allocated to one person, he smiled and rushed inside to grab it.
Seeing SOHNI mentioning, he quickly picked it up and fell on th bed taking a deep breath and smiling lips.
Mujhe Dekhke Jab Tum Yuh Thandi Aahe Bharte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
"Sharam nahi ati tumhain...Chupke se larkiyon ko tar-te ho" She scolded in her ever so sweet voice. His heart felt full of love.
"Tauba tauba...Main aik sanskari larka hoon...Awain har kissi ko nahi tar-ta...Par tumhari baat alag hai" He winked and rolled on his bed hugging th pillow.
"Accha...wo kyun...?" She challenged him, perfectly anticipating a correct answer
"Kyun ke tumhain tar-ne ka licence maine kal poori colony main sab k samne liya hai...and tumhare baba ne us pe ashirwad ki stamp b lagai hai".
Arohi fell on her bed too and looked at the ring that he made her wore yesterday, during this engagement ceremony.
"Hmmm..." She hummed remembering that moment when that delicate ring was slipped into her fourth finger. She felt loved, possessed and happy as finally their love found their destination.
"Speechless abh haan..." He closed his eyes to clearly imagine her blushed face.
"Ring pasand aaye..." He questioned as it was selected by him mainly and with the concent of his mother, he had finalized it.
"Bohut...Its beautiful...Apni jaan se zyada sambhal k rakhoon gi" She promised.
"Nope...Wo tumhain karne ki zaroorat nahi...ye ring mujhe tumhari jaan se zyada pyari nahi Arohi...Tum kabhi apni jaan ki value ko underestimate na kia karo" She smiled at his loveable lines. He was a simple person but his love was so different.
Mujhko Jab Lagta Hai Tum Mujhpar Hi Marte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
"Chalo...abh jaldi se terrace pe aoo...Mujhe tumhain dekhna hai...or phir mujhe job k liye bhi nikalna hai" He got up from the bed and wore his slippers before he get out in the terrace.
"Kyun...dekh tau liya tumne...Chori say" She rolled her wet strand in her fingers and had a shy smile on her face. The giggle in her voice was hard to miss.
"Wo maine us larki ko dekha jiss se main pyaar karta hoon...chori chori chupke chupke wala...abh mujhe apni finance ko dekhna hai...wo b haq se" He chupped his face with one hand while keeping her elbow on the railing. His eyes were fixed on the front.
"Accha...or agar baba ne dekh liya phir..." She took slow steps towards th curtains and with one hand swayed it a little, making him groan in the phone.
"Arohi..." He warned and whined. She giggled and came in the view as he took a deep breath.
"Main har roz ye sochta hoon k tumhain aj kal se zyada chahne laga hoon...or har roz tum mujhe or mohabbat karne pe majboor kar deti ho" He was looking at her from far away but she could still feel the heat of his gaze. Her lashes were down as she leaned against the wall, feeling the rise in her heart beat.
"Kya howa...Tum nahi kuch kaho gi?"
"Kia kahoon...?" She whispered.
""Wohi jo maine kaha hai" He grinned seeing her turn all red.
"Kia...k har roz tumhain kal se zyada chahne lagti hoon?" She questioned and looked up.
"Wo bhi chalay ga..."
"I love you Arohi..." And he passed a gesture of a flying kiss.
"Hmmm..." Arohi made an action of catching it, making hm smile.
"Deyhan se dekho...Sahi se mill gaye kia" He said with a sly smirk.
"Kia?" She wondered.
"Meri kiss..." He laughed making her whine now. In the mean time, Arjun heard the faint voice of knock on his room door.
"Bhaiya...Jaldi aa jao neeche...Maa bula rahi hain" His sister Shefali said and ran away hearing his "Aata hoon"
"Chalo...phir baat hoti hai...Maa bula rahi hai..." Arohi nodded and wishing eachother bye, Arohi cut the call as her mother too called her.
Arjun took the shower and came out to check his phone when a message popped up.
"I love you too...Have a great day ahead" He smiled and kissed his phone before he buttoned up his shirt and getting hold of his things, rushed down.
Tum Mein Aey Meherbaan
Sari Hai Khoobiyan
Bholapan Saadgi
Dilkashi Taazgi
Next day, he was coming back from the office on his bike when he found her, helping an old woman in crossing the busy road infront of her university. He parked his bike onto a side and watched her feeling extremely lucky to have this soft-hearted and loved filled lady in his life.
Holding her heavy grocery bag in one hand and making a stop sign for the cars with another one, she made the woman get to the other side where she probably have resided. Arohi gave the grocery bag to an equally old man, who rushed out from the house and said thank you to her before she rushed back onto the bus stop only to find him their. She smiled and get close to him.
"Tum yahan?" She asked shyingly
He crossed his hands on his chest and looked at her with love filled eyes.
"Wo tau accha hai k tumhari university mere office k raste main parti hai...warna main aise maukay kho deta"
"Kaise mauke?" She wondered.
"Akele date pe lay janay ka...Chalo aoo..."
He held her hand and pulled her at his back so that she was now sitting on his back seat with her hand on his shoulder.
"Par Arjun..." She was hesitant.
"Dont worry...I know aj coloney main Suman ki sangeet ka function hai...Par I promise...time se ghar pohancha doon ga" Not letting her have any other excuse, he brought the engine of the bike to life as she sat.
"Kass k pakar lo..." She smiled, knowing perfectly what he meant.
"Abhi kass k pakarne ka haq nahi diya baba nay" She said, making him groan as she held his shoulder instead of his waist.
"Wo bhi abh jald hi layna paray ga...Or phir mujhe tum pe har type k haq hoon gay" He commented, making her blush as they went to a near by resturant.
He ordered a glass of fresh juice with two straws. She hesitated as he gave her a meaningful look, urging her to share it.
"Arjun" She whined
"What Arjun?...You know ye tau bus practice hai...Shadi k baaf tau tumhain mere saath sab kuch share karna hai...abhi se sharma rahi ho tau phir kia karo gi" She gave him a pouted look but seeing his fake glare, she narrowed jer eyes and never the less started to sip.
Arjun smiled seeing her blushing and took a sip. He made their heads strike making her looked at him and the rest of the juice was finished in between their locked gaze.
Dilkashi Tumse Hai
Taazgi Tumse Hai
Tum Hue Humnashi
Ho Gayi Main Haseen
Rang Tumse Mile Hai Sare
Later, She was wearing a beautiful blue lehnga having gold zari work on it. The half sleeved choli was covering her body pretty well except the deep cut back side. Her hairs were open, a small gold bindi was shinning in between her perfect eyebrows, kohl was making her already sweet eyes more bright, light base was applied on her face along with a dull pink lipsticks adoring her petals. Blue and gold jhumkas were giving a final touch to her glorious self along with those tinkling bangles.
She was never a make up person, but for Arjun, she wanted to look at her best.
As soon as Arjun with his mother and sister, entered the pandal that was built up on the road by Mr. Mehta, Suman's father, his eyes started their search for her.
"Arohi...Kahan ho tum?" His eyes turned empty as some of the neighbours came up to him and shook their hands, distracting him for a minute before he took out his mobile and messaged her.
"Where are you? I am already in here"
Right then he started to hear the commotion from the enteance of pandal and found his substance of attraction.
Arohi along with his best neighbourhood friend cum the bride, Suman entered along with other girls. A smile automatically formed on his lips on seeing her wearing his fav color.
She was giggling along with other girls, cracking funny jokes, making Suman go beet rooted red when she suddenly felt something strange and turned her head in the friend to find him standing in the front, lost in a trance, looking as handsome as ever in a plain black decent Kameez with a punjabi shalwar below.
He winked at her making her bit her lower lip and raised his one hand up. The thumb met the 2nd finger making an 'O' while three fingers stood straight, making her know that she is looking 'superb'.
She blushed hard and turned her attention back on Suman as he was such a big disyraction and she certainly dont want to miss her steps being lost in him, that csrtainly had a BIG chance.
"Arre wah Arohi...Apnay Arjun Miyan tau aj apne usual time se pehle aa gaye..." One of the neighborhood married girl, Amirah commented.
"Abh engagement ka kuch tau asar hona tha na...Warna pehle yaad hai...Sara function guzarne k baad kaise idher khana khulta tha or udher Arjun Bhai kay darshan hotay thay" Girls giggled remembering their old colony days.
"Pehle kuch unke Interest ka bhi tau nahi hota tha na idher..." Arohi so wanted to hide somewhere. Her shyness was getting enjoyed by all but she retorted back.
"Meri chodo...Tum Sanchit bhai pe nazar rakho...Patah nahi idher udher kiss ko dekh rahay hain" Arohi tried to distract Amirah taking her husband name but Amirah had been through these times and knew what she was trying to do. So she took a fake sigh and said in a dramatic tone
"Abh khair har aik ki kismat aisa thori hoti hai k aik larka sab ko ignore kar k khali usi ko dekhay" Arohi looked at Arjun to find him standing in a corner with a drink in his hand but rarely taking a sip as his eyes were taking their fill of her
"Oh Arjun" She cursed her Majnu under her breath and looked at girls who were giving her meaningful smiles before she rushed away from their. The girls at the back roared in laughter.
As if he got the chance, he left th drink on a nearby table and moved towards her who was now standing in a secluded space taking out song CDs from a bag which was brought earlier by some friends.
Arjun got the chance and moved close to her.
Taarif Jo Sunke Tum Aise Sharma Jati Ho
Achchi Lagti Ho
Kabhi Haas Deti Ho Aur Kabhi Itraa Jati Ho
Achchi Lagti Ho
"Soniyon...Kehnde ho tau main kuch madad kar dawan"
(Soniyo...Kehti ho tau main kuch madad kar doon) He said putting his hand forward to covered her. Their back was towards the guests and infront was the end of pandal so no one could see whatever was happening in between.them.
Arjun played with her fingers as she tried to pull her hand away but he couldn't let that. Arohi too enjoyed getting all the attention from him.
"Tum aj bohut khoobsurat lag rahi hoo Arohi..." Arohi looked at him and tuck few loose strands behind her ear.
"Thank you"
"Ye mere pyaar ka asar hai k hamari mangni ka" He teased her as she whined
"Arjun...Acchi main hamesha se lagti hoon" She said with a raised nose.
"hmmm...Wo tau hai...Par is baar kuch tau special hai...Kaho tau prove karne k liye aik demo dekhaoon..." He raised her hand up to kiss the finger where his ring was placed when Arohi's mother called her, making them both pull apart quickly.
"Ayee Maa..." She rushed away from their, leaving him running hand through his hairs. Damn, how he loved her.
******************
"Arohi...Beta ja k zara Apni Aaye k liye pani tau lay aoo" Arohi's mother asked her referring 'Aaye' to Arjun's mother Rachna.
"G Maa..." Arohi said and was abou to leave when Rachna held her hand and pulled her close to kiss her forehead.
"Aj meri bahu kitni sundar lag rahi hai..." She rub her kohl eyes with her finger and put a black mark behind Arohi's ear.
"Kissi ki nazar na lagay" Rachna looked at Arjun who was standing away but surly understood the meaningful look passed by his mother and the ladies laughed.
Right then, Suddha, the bride's mother come to the ladies. Being neighbors, all ladies were too close to each other
"Bhabhi g...Abh app bhi tayari shuru karo...Apni colony may agli shadi tau Arjun or Arohi ki hi hogi abh" OMG! Why everyone is teasibg her today. Arohi thought and rushed away. Just hearing the marriage word speed up her heart beat but nothing could stop her to imagine that day and yearned for it.
Mujhe Dekhke Jab Tum Yuh Thandi Aahe Bharte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
The whole wedding of Suman was seems to be a teasing journey for Arohi as no one left a stone unturned to make her blush. If that was not enough, Arjun constant gaze made that more terrible but none the less, she enjoyed all the love he was showering on her.
Khoye Se Tum Ho Kyon
Soch Mein Gum Ho Kyon
Three months later:
"Arjun..." His mother Rachna called him as he was gling up to his room after taking his dinner. His fingers were constantly typing something on his mobile and with a distracted voice he replied.
"Ji maa..." Rachna took some slow steps towards him before she ran her hand on his shoulder in love.
"Beta...Mangni ko teen mahinay ho gaye hain...Sab pooch rahay hain k shadi kab tak hogi...Main soch rahi thi k Iss hafte Alhuwalia Sahib k yahan ja k shadi ki date ki date hi fix kar aoon"
Arjun head rose up in shock.
"Par Ma..." But before he could say something, Rachna intrupt him
"Khali date rakh layte hain...Tayari main bhi waqt lagta hain...Teen Char mahinay baad ki hi sahi..." The hopefull eyes of her old age Mother really pushed him to give in.
"Theek hai Maa...Jaisay appko sahi lagay..."
"Main aisa karti hoon k shagun lay k janay se pehle Smriti se baat karti hoon...Patah karti hoon k Arohi k finals kab tak hain...Uske aik do mahine k baad ki.hi.koi tareekh rakhain phir" Arjun nodded and patted his mobile phone on his palm when rigjt then it beeped and after reading the incoming message, he got more angry.
Running his hands desperately in his hairs, he took a detour and instead pf going up, h went out of the house, trying to find some solace.
Arohi who was waiting for him in her terrace, was leaning on the rail. She looked into her mobile phone on last time. No message from him today. Wondering what happened. May be another late night in office. She thought.
But right then, Arjun get out lost in his thoughts. She waved her hand with a smile on her face but that couldnt catch his attention.
Frowning, she looked at him and called him in a slow voice.
"Arjun" He stopped, looked up with tired eyes.
She raised her hand up motioning "Kia howa" But he just shook his head and turn away to go walk on the road.
His distraction look made her worried. He never looked so low. He was a happy go lucky man, a person who always love to tease other, making them smile.
She went back to her room and paced a little in worry. After their engagement, his problem was not only his, but her too. She wanted him to share it whatever was bothering him as in return, it bothered her too.
Opening her room door, she looked around to check if her baba and Maa were still up but seeing the coast clear, she tip toed towards the main door of the house, unbolted it and get out, leaving a sigh of relief that she was holding. With brisked step, she followed the path he went on.
Baat Jo Dil Mein Ho
Keh Bhi Do Keh Bhi Do
He was sitting on a bench near the small park in their colony that was situated a few feet away from their houses. Looking ahead into the empty space, je took a deep breath.
Why life is suddenly taking this distracted turn.
He wondered as a lone tear ran down his face.
Being lost in his thoughts, he didnt notice her sitting beside himself. She had nit missed the tear. She never missed anything about him from the time she committed herself to him.
He jerked as she put a hand on his shoulder and looked at her worried eyes.
"Arjun...Kia howa?" Her hand raised up hesitantly as she cupped his face slowly, feeling his rough stubble against the softness of her palm and wiped th tear with her thumb.
He was lost in her care, her worried eyes. He held her hand that was cupping his face and played with her fingers, putting it in his lap as he thought if he should tell her.
He knew it will worry her too and that was the last thing he wanted now.
"Batao na...Ghar main kuch howa...Ayee nay kuch kaha?" She probed him but he shook his head in negative.
"Phir...Office ka koi issue hai" And he kept mum. He couldn't lie to her but his response confirm her words.
"Boss nay kuch kaha"
"Arohi..." He took a deep breath and got up with helplessness.
"Boss nay kuch nahi kaha...Par resession ki wajha se bohut problem hai...Kal hi boss nay 2 new employs ko restigate kia...Sab emplyees ki performance check ho rahi hai" He explained.
"Hmmm...Par tum kyun fikar kar rahay ho..." She stood up and hugged his one arm.
"I know tumhari peformance bohut acchi hogi...Koi gadha hi tumhari value nahi kare ga" She bend her head forward to see him trying to control his smile.
"Agar mere boss nay abhi ye Gadha word sun liya na...Tau aik second se pehle nikal bahi karain gay" He looked at her as she smiled and got wrapped loosely into his arms.
"Tum fikar na karo...I will pray for you...Tumhari job ka koi issue nahi hoga...Par to be on the safe side, tum dosri jagha b job k liye try karna start karo..." She said in a serious tone as he nodded his head and kept looking down at her fingers which were placed on his chest.
"Or bhi kuch hai?" She felt it somehow seeing him still lost.
"Hmm...Maa aj mujhe pooch rahi thi k shadi ki date kab ki rakhon...Ofcourse date tau tumhare semester khatam honay k baad ki hogi...But with this job issue ...Or you know unki heart condition...Main nahi chahta k wo kissi bhi tarhan pareshan hoon...Phir tumhare parents..." Feeling helpless, he looked up at face.
"Arohi...I want to make our wedding a happy affair...Main apni, tumhari, maa, shefali sab ki wishes poori karna chahta hoon...But agar main khud settle nahi hoon ga apni job main...tau Hum apni life main kaise settle ho sakain gay...Agar doosri jagha job mill jati hai...Phir b I will need a little time" Arohi felt like doing Awww at his cute childish face.
Her hands rose up and first time they went around his neck, locking behind.
"Budhu ram...Kina sochday ho tussi"
(Budhu ram...Tum sochte kitna hi) She said with a giggle.
"Pehle hi bata diya karo mujhe...See, I have a perfect solution" Arjun looked at her with deep interest.
"Is semester k baad I was thinking to do a small 3 months course that my friend recommended...Pehle I was thinking k ye shadi k baad bhi ho sakta hai...Par abh main Maa or Baba ko kahon gi k first Main ye course complete karna chahti hoon ta k after marriage, I will have free time"
And Arjun knew this will work. She will make her parents agree.
Sochta Hoon Ke Main
Kya Pukaron Tumhe
Dilnashin Naazneen
Mahroo Mehzabeen
Yeh Sab Hai Naam Tumhare
He took a deep breath as slowly he felt all his tension going away and was at peace.
"You are so my angel" He said and laid his lips on her cheeks, making her go all red.
"Arjun" She warned.
"Abh kia...You can also kiss me back...Mujhe koi problem nahi" And blushing, she turned her head to the other side.
A minute later, she struggled in his hands, trying to go away. While lost in her, he hardly noticed any struggle. Her red cheeks, her lip biting was a strong distraction till the time she tried a little hardee.
"Chalo choro mujhe...Mujhe jana hai"
But in response, all he did was pull her more close, making her more flustered.
"Ar...Arjun...Kia kar rahay ho?" She asked stuttering while her eyes went wide.
"Pyaar..." He kept her close with one hand and raised other one to his lips before he kissed each individual finger, making her breath get shallow. Her eyes closed as she hide her face in the side of his chest, clasping his shirt tightly in her other hand.
"Ar...jun..." She could only took his name while he tortured her a lil more before he entwined their fingers.
"Arohi...Sab k samne main bohut koshish karta hoon khud ko rokne ki...Par aj akele main..." And he took a deep breath. "I am sorry agar tumhain kuch bura laga ho" But as he finished, she backed off and covered his mouth with her other hand and shook her head.
"Tumhain Haq hai..." She said with sincerity that made his heart go wild and ge pulled her in a warm hug as he promised to not go over board till he will have every kind of right on her.
Mere Itne Sare Naam Hai Jab Tum Yeh Kehte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
Mere Pyaar Mein Jab Tum Khoye Khoye Se Rehte Ho
Achche Lagte Ho
Later everything was arranged as they hav thought. Arohi had made her parents understand and without leaking out any unstability of Arjun's job, they have fixed their marriage to take place after 8 months on a date suggested by the pandit.
Wearing a baby pink sari, she was made to sit beside him as the parents enchamged shagun but for Arjun, it was the hardest to sit neside her when she was looking nothing but a true angel in her pure beauty. The least he could do was hold her hand under her sari.
Sh had prayed for his job and though, he was not terminated from his job, he got a better one which were ready to pay him another 10000rs more than he was already earning and that was icing on the cake for him.
"Tau...Abh mera gift kahan hai...Itni pooja ki tumhri job k liye maine" She asked putting forward her hand as they were once again seating in that same bench, they shared 3 months before.
Arjun looked at her naugtily as he leaned onto her side, making her lean back.
"Soniyo, Gift tau main doon ga par abhi nahi shadi k baad" He said with a glint in his eyes that made her lips raise in a smile.
"Accha...Aisa kaun sa gift hai jo sirf shadi k baad diya ja sakta hai" She was back with her words.
"Abh honeymoon pay tau main shadi k baad hi lay k ja sakta hoon...Nahi...k pehle janay ka irada hai" He winked at the end. The mere word Honeymoon had her trapped in between her words. She was just so speechless.
Arjun loved the effect that he had on her. Her eyes were fill with a mixture of love happiness, excitement and shyness.
He got straight and pulled her in a side hug.
"I know gift bara hai...Par tum mujhe abhi se thank you bolna shuru karo tau honeymoon k time tak you will be debt free" He said but Arohi mind was still stick to that honeymoon word.
"Thank you?" She murmered.
And with mischevious eyes, he leaned his cheek forward near her lips.
"OMG..." She hit his shoulder. "Arjun...Tum din ba din besharm.hotay ja rahay ho" She moved a bit away from him, trying to hide her blush in her anger but he was not going to let her go so easily.
"Besharam? Or main...Arohi, agar engagement period pe koi larka aisi baatain na kare tau problem hoti hai...Or abhi tau maine tumhain bataya bhi nahi k main interest kaise loon ga" She raised her brow only to see him making his lips curved into a kiss posture that had her heart go wilder. He smiled whole heartedly seeing her beet rooted red face before she couldn't take it any more and ran away from their.
Arjun smiled to himself as he leaned back on the bench and watched her run away.
"I so love you Arohi...God, I can't wait to get married now" He ruffled his hairs as he start dreaming about their future. As ONE.
( Achchi Lagti Ho
Achche Lagte Ho )?(3)
(The engagement period is one of the best and one of the most troublesome too...While your one comment, one action, one deed can make someone extremely happy and make your bond stronger, it can create problems too and make it break too.
Its kind of a tester as how this relationship will go forward after marriage. So be careful, be compassionate and be understanding as that's what a relationship is all about)
