Arohi was sitting with her sister guddi , teaching her how to weave the yarn on the loom to make a criss cross pattern, a kit she got home that evening so they can have something to do together. Guddi was visibly excited and seeing her happy always satisfied arohi . She has had a very long day today, she had to meet with a lawyer and Rudra Pratap Singhania , to sign off the deal. She had sold her family property, the spinning mill, to which only she was the legal heir and it had been closed for years now even before the death of her parents, it was running under loss anyways. And it had become a liability for her. As if god answered her prayers, the singhania's decided to come back to their ancesteral town and settle there and through her uncle they had finalized this deal and she was happy that a huge burden was lifted off her shoulders. Now she can repay the loan and can provide funds for the new school she had opened.
Her aunt lovedeep came by from across the street, they lived opposite to arohi's house 'Arohi , don't make any dinner , I got some for you two' she said placing the dish on the table. Arohi smiled at her aunt , what would I do if she wasn't there, was a thought that always corssed her mind whenever she saw lovedeep. 'So what are you two sisters upto today' , their aunt asked . After arohi , lovedeep was the only person to whom guddi warmed upto and she was pampered by both of them. Lovedeep tried to take the loom from guddi's hands , but she held it so tight indicating she wldnt share it evenwith her loving bua. Arohi brought coffee for herself and bua and milk to guddi . 'where is sanchit' aro asked of her cousin brother, 'oh he has gone to his friend's place, important thing is now your property is sold and you can repay the loan taken for the new school I am so happy for you beta, and that too the family who bought this are good people and will make the town proud' arohi was happy to hear that.
Arohi composed herself and went back to her sister. She looked at guddi, how precious she was to her. She prayed god to give her strength and guddi happiness. She slept thinking of all the things she was supposed to do at school the next day.
As soon as Rudra came down the scene in the house changed , arjun immediately turned off the system and joined his dad, 'you upto your usual masi already eh ' asked rudra, 'you know me dad, I cant sit quiet ' ' I know , that is why I want you to come with us today , you can decide what you want to do later, heard you went to jay's house yesterday' , 'yeah lucky me he is here atleast, some more guys were there, we are meeting up for a game of cricket this afternoon' ' oh good, lets go' 'why did we buy this old mill again? ' arjun asked on their way , jignesh rashi's husband was busy over phone, rudra smiled 'this was a bread winner for most of the town and got closed when it ran into losses, the family who owned this and other properties, conveniently left this one to a young girl when it was divided and now she sold it to us' 'well good riddance for her' arjun said, rudra replied ' actually it is good for her and us , I wanted to start something here and what better can it be for a business man to aquire another new one' 'and good for her because she don't have to deal with the headache anymore plus she got enough money to spend lavishly eh?' arjun said with the experience of what he has seen mostly around him in the city . 'no, she is a responsible girl, strong and talented , I met her yesterday, you will be surprised to know that she is running a school here in the town and she wanted to raise money for that , I am impressed' arjun was truly surprised , if dad is impressed then she must be someone interesting he thought 'school ? that is interesting ' he said , ' yeah , it is called 'chetana' a school for mentally challenged and Special kids'
