Chapter 15

It was around 12:30 at night everyone drifted to their respective room...... Aditya went to sleep in his room, aayush and rishab went to guest room.., and Akshitha and aarohi went to aarohi's room.....

In Aarohi's room

Aarohi was trying to sleep but she was not able to as if sleep has vanished from her eyes........

When aarohi closes her eyes she just sees the smiling face of aditya.........how he was taking candids of her.....? He thought that she didn't notice him but she did noticed him........... my adi-tude.......... Aarohi giggled..........

Aarohi thought

we had a duet after a long time.......... That too on my favourite song.......... Mere naam tu...........i fel......I felt that every line every word made sense today.......... I felt that as if he is confessing his feelings for me through this song.............. The way he grabbed my waist shiver ran down my spine ........... We were so close to each other that i could feel his fanning breath, i could hear his heart beat which was beating for me.......

She went to her study table........ She opened her journal to write all incidents that happened that day........

Aarohi wrote,

Dear dairy,

I am fine and doing good.........

Aaj bohat kuch hua aur mein bohat khush hoon.........

It was ethnic day today and the way aditya was admiring me was giving a new feeling......... After many years i loved myself and I felt very confident about myself......... What's this feeling that is taking over my heart is it love or something........? Aarohi thought.

Aarohi closed her eyes and remembered all that happened from the day she had met aditya.... ...... A smile formed on aarohi's face........

Aarohi further wrote Yes..... I love him...... I love him so much........ First i thought its a mere infatuation but its no its love i love my aditya......... I need him ......... Aarohi thought for a while tapping her long slender fingers on her forehead thinking with whom she should share this news..........

Ninoo....... I should tell her......... She would be very excited to listen that........ Aarohi took her phone and dialed naina's number.................

As soon as naina picked the call.......

Aarohi said in excitement........ Hi..... Ninu..........

Hello...................

A.....ru......kya hua...........?Konsa........ pahad toot gaya..........? Naina said in sleepy voice........

Umm......... i am not feeling..........sleepy.........aarohi replied with hesitation

Toh behan meri neend kyun kharab kar rahi hai........ Ha.......... Jisne tumhara neend...... chen...... Sab kuch cheena hai usko jaake disturb karo na...... Naina said in frustration........

I can't........... he is sleeping........... and I wanted to share something with u.......... aarohi said with glitter in her eyes......... 

Who is sleeping............?He.....?

Aru....... What's the matter...........? Naina asked ..........

Naina....... Woh actually............ I mean to say....... Aarohi replied with mumbled words...........

Will u say or i should cut the call......? Naina said with fake anger.......... Because now she was hell frustrated...........

I....... Iaminlove........... Aarohi said in one breath.

What........? Are u serious.....? Oh my god my bestie is in love.........? Naina was excited as well as shocked at the same time.............. Naina's eyes was wide open now.......... Her sleep was gone......... Because she was hearing that which was nearly impossible........

Waise Janeman kon hai woh badnaseeb...........? Naina asked with a teasing tone.......

Aa...... Aditya.......... Aarohi said closing her eyes....... Tightly.......... Her heart beat was so loud......... It was like her heart will come out in few minutes.....

Oh my god............. Naina's mouth hung open...........Aditya bhaiya.......... He is so good..........He will take care.....  of u really well........ I am so happy........ So happy for you...... Aru........

Now i called you to ask how i should confess my feelings for him.........? Aarohi asked naina with a big smile on her face.........

First u try to see whether even he feels the same or not........... Being around with him you try to find his feelings for you......... And if he is in love with u then try something which makes him confess his feelings for you........... something like trying to make him jealous..........

Naina started giving advice as if she is aarohi's love guru........

But..... Aru i still can't believe that you are in love.......? Naina said to aarohi still not believing what she heard..........

Ye pakka work toh Karega na...........? Aarohi asked with doubt as it was her first experience of being in love so........

Pakka Karega.......... Tu tension kyun le rahi hai meri jaan when naina is here why fikar.....? Naina replied with over confidence..........

Eww..... Meri jaan......... Don't call me that....... Aarohi said with irritation..........

Oh...... Ab kisiko hamara ye bulana pasand nahi aaraha hai...... Kyunki jaan..... Jaanu....... Baby........ Shona........ Darling......... Ye bulane waale jo aageye hai......... Ab hume toh koyi yaad hi nahi rakega........ Naina said teasing aarohi.........

Shutup naina......... Aarohi said....... And her face was fully flushed...........

Acha baba ok........ Now sleep and dream about ur aditya........ Ur date....... Kis......... Naina was interrupted by aarohi.........

Stop it naina........ I understood what you want to say........... Don't say anything further.......... Aarohi replied with embarrassment........ As aarohi was never teased or talked about such things..........

Oh..... Hoooo...... Pyaari samaj gayi......... Naina replied........

Ummm.... U sleep now....... Aarohi said......

Good night naina wished........

Good night.....Aarohi replied and hung up the call........

Aarohi went back to her bed and soon and drifted to her dreamland

  

Two weeks later

Both aarohi and aditya were busy in studying as the college authority announced their exams so early that they didn't even have to time to preparation nor for revision..........

First they were busy in cuturals and now in exams ......... Aarohi had not got a chance to implement naina's idea........

(This is very common in every professional college.............. Syllabus khatam hua nahi hai aur ye log exams ki baarish kardete hai........... Uff ye college wale aur unka exams ke saath........ ek alag hi rishta hai jo hum kabhi samaj hi nahi payenge.........)

Aditya and aarohi had just small talks on phone regarding the exams......., answer sheet and stuffs..........

They literally were not able to see each other for 10 days and aditya was really getting so much restless to meet aarohi........ So was the situation of aarohi..........

Arghh........ This periods........ Why it had to show up on my last day of exam.........?Aarohi thought to herself..........

As she got her periods morning......... It is not something new for her but.......... She has the worst cramps ever........ And she badly needs rest on first day of her periods......... But couldn't as she had exams........

After few hours............

Aditya called aarohi and asked her to come to canteen............

Kya hai apka.......? Aarohi asked in annoyed tone.......... Coming with slow steps.........

Kya hua aaj meri sherni mujhe kaatne kyun dod rahi hai........? Aditya asked aarohi.........irritating her even more.......

If u are here to talk these nonsense then i am going home aarohi said

Wait a minute.......... Stay here........aditya said .......

He immediately went near canteen and brought chocolates for her.........

Here you go........ I know you are on your periods......... Have it............ Aditya said giving aarohi chocolates..........

Aarohi was very happy.........

Aditya how did you come to know that i needed chocolate.........? Aarohi asked...........

Don't you know ruh.......... I know you more than you know yourself.........tumhare bina bole hi mein sab kuch samaj jaata hoon....... Aditya said.......

Aarohi chuckled hearing him and continued eating her chocolate............

After she ate her chocolate..........

Aru..... Come with me......... Aditya said holding her wrist

But where......? Aarohi asked

You will get to know just come with me........ Aditya said and aarohi shrugged her face.......

Aarohi sat on aditya's bike although it was difficult for her to sit on bike during periods but aditya made sure that she is comfortable........

After 40 minutes of ride aditya stopped the bike and asked aarohi to get down

Where are we.......?aarohi asked

They were in outskirts of Delhi.........

Just turn around........

Oh my god........... Aarohi hugged aditya in excitement not thinking about the society....... This is my favourite place.....Thank you thank you so much aditya.......... I was craving for street food so much.............

Aarohi started enjoying her favourite golgappa........ She fed him also with her hands........

Aarohi's thought -  shivni........aditya takes care of me so much......... I am so happy.............. He makes me feel like a queen every time........ How can someone be this sweet.............?

bhagwaan ji please protect my ruh........ From all evil eye....... She has suffered a lot i want her to give all the happiness she deserves........... Aditya thought to himself standing near aarohi crossing his hands to his chest............

Both aarohi and aditya were happy......... But they didn't knew something was waiting for them.........

Someone was watching them With distance having a smirk on her face.........

After having ice cream and after aarohi throwing her tantrums that she want some more ice cream.......aditya dropped aarohi home..........

In Aarohi's room

Aarohi got freshed up and sat on her bed to check her phone.......... She was blushing continuously thinking about everything.........

20 miscalls and 15 messages from mumma aarohi thought.......

Aarohi dialed her mother's number....

hello....... Mumma...... You had called me many times....... What's the matter..? Is everything fine.....? Aarohi asked immediately

hello...... Aarohi how many times i have to call you..........?Where were u all this time.....??

Aarohi mumma calls my full name only when she is angry with me......... Aru think what have u done

mumma actually i told u know na........ That morning i got my periods so i was craving for street food so much..... So aditya took me out...... Do u know.....?mumma the place where he took had the best street food ever i really loved it....... Next time we all will go ok na.......... aarohi said explaining her outing with aditya......... not knowing she had to face her mother's outbrust............

aarohi........why you went with aditya..?? Ha......? I have tried to tell u this from many months but i was not able to..... But now its going out of limit....... What is there between you and aditya ha........? Whenever i call you......., you are either with aditya or you are talking to him....... Vishaka said.......

why are u saying this mumma ...?? You know right that aditya is my best friend....... He has been with me all the time......... And we share a bond that can't be explained mumma....... Aarohi replied

aarohi are u out of your mind......? Today you are saying that he is your best friend....... If the other day you come and say that you want to marry him then should we agree to that...?? Don't forget aarohi he is boy and a girl and boy can never be friends.........Have u thought about what will society and our relatives think about us if u keep on roaming with him..?? And what will tara's family do after knowing about this......? What if any problem comes in sushant's married life...? Vishaka yelled with anger.......

mumma...... But nobody has problem with our friendship........ I have talked to shrishti aunty and rudra uncle many times and they don't have any problem with this....... Then why are u saying like this..... And u know that i don't care about this society and relatives...... Aarohi gave a reply......

I know that they don't have problem...... But when this society talks nonsense about u......... as a part of society some or the other day they will also agree with them...... I don't want anyone to raise a finger on my daughter like previous time i won't be able to take it....... And because of this if problem arises between sushant and tara then i would not be able to take that........ Please don't take me wrong... . vishaka said with concern...........

Abhinav : but you are wrong this time vishu......... Khurana sahab and his family are not like that......  Even they have a daughter....., and they are not that kind of people who will listen to this so called society

No paapa........ I think mumma is right........ I should distance myself from aditya......... He is a good person....... He belongs to a good family...... Actually i forgot everything about my past......... I forgot that i dont deserve anything...... Paapa u don't argue with mumma about this matter....... I have to study....... I will call you later..... Aarohi said in low tone............

Aarohi turned loud music and started crying so that no body hears her.......

At sharma house (delhi west)

vishu....... Why did u do this.......? Ha.....? You know right after so many years we had seen aarohi happy....... And for sake of sushant's happiness you were ready to sacrifice aarohi's abhinav said with disappointment as he didn't accept this from vishaka

abhi....... U are taking me wrong.... I have seen aarohi suffer so much..... I don't want sushant to see like that........ Vishaka replied with tears in her eyes.........

do u know.......? Khurana sahab had called me yesterday and asked me about our plans for aarohi's marriage and asked that if we agree and if u both aditya and aarohi agree then we can go further for their alliance.......... Abhinav said explaining what and all had happened yesterday

why didn't you tell this to me....? Will they still agree after knowing about aarohi....? Vishaka asked with doubt..........

it's a very sensitive matter vishu we can't say that just like that........  We have talk about this matter to khurana ji face to face......... I will talk about this when i go to meeting to Mumbai abhinav said........
