Part 14
Arohi
felt her heart beating in her throat furiously like it will explode if
he just don't stop playing with her lips, so passionately, but then,
she can't push him away too. Arjun felt her breath getting heavier so
he slow down first and then, moved an inch away, just to let her
breath. His head was leaning against hers as she was now once again
standing between the cage of his arms. Her arms lazily were resting on
his shoulders, clutching the vest tightly. The stay silent for a minute
when Arjun again move forward and pecked her lips softly. He just
can't seem to get enough of her, her sweet lips. Arohi sigh leaning her
head back on the wall with closed eyes, just living this moment.
Moment which have no one other than they both. And he was with her,
kissing her, what else she needed. Arjun closed his eyes, feeling her
ragged breath on his cheek. His hand came up to cup her face while
other remove those little strands of hairs from her face, which were
blocking his view to see her blushed rose cheeks. "Arohi" He took her
name so softly that her eyes flutter open to see his down long
eyelashes. His ragged breath proving that he is as much affected by her
as she is. His thumb traced her cheek as he said "I don't know"
*BREATH* "I just don't know what this feeling is...that haunt me deep
in my roots...this feeling that is just as pure as the sound of
running water, washing all the sadness, blackness, darkness of my
cursed life...this feeling that give me a hope of a good future" He
sigh and look up to see her looking at him intently, waiting for him to
complete. He rubbed her cheek as a smile formed on her lips with the
tingling and he couldn't hold but to kiss the corner of her lips as if
tasting her, drinking her smile. Her smile turn to a shock but now, her
smile was placed on his lips as he gave his dimpled smile that just
seem to took her breath away. Looking at the dreamy look of her face,
he whispered softly "This feeling is something i never felt before in
my life...i thought what i felt once before was what is called as love,
but after experiencing this overwhelming sensation...i don't know what
to call it" He opened his heart infront
of her. Arohi keep looking at him but soon felt her vision got blurred
with tears that took place in her eyes with this simple yet heart
touching confession of his. How can someone be so heart-broken with
such a pure heart. His words completely show his sincerity, his love,
his truthfulness. How can someone doubt him. How can anyone blame him
for hurting them? This man can only love. Nothing else. Arohi moved her
hand up, tracing his neck with her palm and cupped his face making him
look at her. "I know what i feel for you" she said in a soft rasped
whisper that could only be heard by him. He looked in her shiny eyes.
Its look like she was lost before and now got her destination. And she
did. "I love you Arjun" she said the next second. As her words touch
his eardrums, he felt his world rocked. It was something so
overwhelming, so deep, so pure that his heart was fluttering inside and
his body was in peace. Arohi keep looking at him for an expecting
answer and he noticed her gaze and sigh, touching his forehead against
her. "I can't it now" He said defeatingly.
"I mean it whatever i said before...but saying these words to anyone
never turned out good for me" He was torn inside and moved back two
steps from her and turn around. "There was a time, I was never so
conscious saying them to anyone rather i would freely use
them...telling everyone how much they really mean to me...to express my
feelings in the exact best words possible...but nothing stayed that
way Arohi" He covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath.
"I said my parents I loved them, I use to tell Riya
daily before her bedtime, that i love her...I was about to say it to
Sneha that horrible day...and see, everyone to whom i said these
powerful words, left me alone, to stay on my ownself"
He looked back at her who was listening to him carefully. Tears had
took there place in her eyes feeling the pain in his words. "That's why
I avoid saying them to Ananya frequently...She is all I had and I
never wanna loose her" He continued in a father's fearing tone. Tears
traced his cheeks as Arohi took a step and put forward her hand. Arjun
look at her questioningly. "Hold my hand...And I promise you will
never loose her or...Me" she started with a strong voice and ended with
a true promise. Arjun look from her face to her hand and without
wasting a moment, he gave her his hand and pulled her closer in a hug.
His hands rest on her tiny waist and her head rest on his chest. They
fit perfectly in eachother arms just like a puzzle is being completed
and truly, they were the two parts of a same picture and only they
could complete it. They have been mis-matched before but right this moment, it was just what they say as, PICTURE PERFECT.
They
keep standing like that for sometime, silently promising eachother
there support, love, comfort, courage, strength, affection and warmth.
Arjun smiled as he kissed her in the hairs. "I think, its better you
leave now... " Reluctantly, Arohi withdraw herself with blushed cheeks.
Arjun smiled and not being able to look up at him, she averted her
gaze and left the room, almost running out. Arjun silently watched her
leaving the room and took a few steps back and fall on the bed with
the brightest smile ever. His eyes closed, his arms open as if
welcoming the happiness in his life. He had never been this happy from
the last 2 and a half years and had almost lost hope to be happy ever.
But she, this amazing amazing girl has made this possible. She showed
her what life means, how the happiness stays in small things rather
than wasting time to get the big one, how time could be treasured, how
living in present is more beautiful rather than crying on past, how the
dreams of future could really inspire you rather than the nightmares
of past which discourages you. "Arohi" Sighing, he took her name
softly. She changed his life for betterment and he is really looking
forward to it now. The series of there memories run in his mind. Her
first introduction and him, finding her perfect as a candidate of being
her secretary, her nervousness but confidence attracted him the first
day of her job, and its still the same. Her friendly behavior and there
LONDON trip, that first time make him get close to her. Her
interaction with Ananya. She herself looked like a kid while playing
with her and then, there park scene and the first touch. He can still
imagine her in that netted black dress she wore that night, when he
kissed her for the first time and what a kiss that was...He never felt
like getting close to any girl after Sneha but that night was special,
she was special and he realized now, it was the first time he actually
agreed to himself that he is attracted to her and the kiss came just as
a response to that. But the way she denied that moment next day, his
heart felt crying but now he know, she was just trying to judge his
action as he was trying to judge her's. He was angry with her marrying
to that jerk Samar but was happy later, when her engagement got broke,
unfortunately, her mother had to suffer but he was right there to
support her and GOD blessed him and his stars then that she landed up
in his home. He could never say enough thanks to GOD for doing that or
otherwise he would never have been able to take this step and got this
feeling of pure bliss. The picnic had surly been a turn over in there
relationship after being getting constant nagged by Bi and Smriti but
that was worth. He was overwhelmed seeing his effect on her and it was
totally impossible for him to stay away from him and after two days of
picnic, on such a restlessness night, he found peace while he was
tossing and turning in his bed and felt the door open slightly.
Thankfully, his face was towards the door then so he opened his eyes
slightly and saw her closing his room door, trying not to make a noise.
He was worried and excited at the same time. Worried as if she need
anything and excited to know why is she here in his room. Just as she
was about to turn back at him, he closed his eyes and feel her coming
closer to his bed. Her bare feet couldn't cover the sound of walking
and just a few seconds later, he could feel her standing beside his
bed. Her intense gaze were hard not to feel but he didn't dare open his
eyes and caught her red-handed. He wanted to see further. He faked
being sleepy, taking calm breaths and not moving his hands to startle
her even when his nose start to itch. He controlled his hands and
waited for her to move when after a few minutes, he heard a soft tuck
of the door. She left and he concluded that she just wanted to see him
sleeping. The next day he waited for her, unconfirmed whether she would
turn up that night or not and gladly she did, and from that day, he
would wait for her. And tonight, Ananya was adamant to hear a bed-time
story from him rather than Bi as per usual and no matter how fast he
wanna get back into his room, he didn't want to break her(Ananya's) heart so he sit down and started reading a story from her story book till the tinme
she was off to sleep. Kissing her forehead after removing the curls
from it, he gave her a last look and left the room, closing the room
door as quietly as possible. He was late and probably she wouldn't
appear tonight made him restless as he get back to his room and lay
down on the bed with closed eyes, crossing fingers under the covers,
just hoping that she would come but when she didn't after 20 minutes,
he get up to go to her room to check on her. May be, tonight, he can do
her ritual. He smiled and reached the door when he heard foot steps
and the next second, the knob of the door turning. It was too late to
go back to bed and act to be sleeping, he thought, it was time for
confrontation and thats
why as she took first step in the room, he pulled her in and pinned
her to the wall. And he was glad he did that. He was satisfied and at
peace to hear that she loves him and he know, that he too. But he
couldn't say that. But he wasn't going to risk loosing her for
anything. The kisses they share did make up for the week, he would lay
there while his heart and mind will ask to get up and took hold of her
lips in his. His mind would replay the image of there first kiss in his
mind again and again while his heart would feel to excited and erotic
with her act of looking at him in the night that would fill it with
immense love for her. He closed his eyes with a sweet smile on his lips
and drift to a beautiful sleep that he took after years.
Next
day, at the breakfast table, Arjun would sneak glances at her while
she was just looking away with a shy smile on her face. They try to not
show up the change of there relation to the elders but smriti
and Bi had the eyes of Hawk as the both women look at there kids and
grinned at eachother. "Mama, I am leaving" Arohi said after making
Ananya finished her food as well as hers, tugging her bag at her
shoulder. "Ok beta, Be back on time ok" Smriti said with motherly
affection. Arohi smiled and kissed her cheek and saying bye to Bi and
Ananya she got out. "UFFF"
she sigh. "The breakfast went too awkward...I don't know how this
whole day gonna be" She mumbled to herself as she walk towards the main
gate. Hearing the running footsteps at the back, she turned to found a
breathless Arjun. Arohi turned back with a jerk and start taking fast
steps to the door "Arohi" He called her as she stopped, biting her
tongue. "yeah" she replied without turning. "Ummm...I
was thinking..." He ruffled his hairs. God this is so strange. But he
wanted to do that. "You can go with me...in my car...to office" It was a
request rather than a question. The last thing she wanted now was him
coming to her. She wanted to have the time to the office just with
herself, to think about how this newly made relationship gonna work. To
an extent, she was afraid too that may be, once again he will start
ignoring her just like before. She wanted to think quietly on all the
aspects possible that gonna come in her life, and with him being in the
same car, its hard to concentrate. She thought to excuse to him and go
alone but turning back, looking at him cute smiley face, her all
thoughts went to trash. "OK" she said that brought a heart-warming
smile on his face and he escort her to his car. And definitely, she
couldn't thought about anything else other than feeling his presence.
Office
timing went great. All were professional like they usually are. Shaina
and Aryan disclosed there family agreement to there wedding and the
families were in discussion to set a date. All were happy hearing that
and congratulate the couple. Finally everything bad seems like leaving
the house and happiness was welcomed with open arms. Shaina and Aryan
were giving treat in the canteen that day to all there fellows. "Arjun,
You have to join us there in an hour...OK" Shaina almost ordered her
friend rather than a boss after finishing with there usual meeting.
Arohi was in the room writing down notes for the meeting. Arjun eyes
went to her. He had planned to arrange a small lunch for himself and
Arohi in his cabin. He wanted to discuss with her, the level of there
relationship. He didn't want an awful moment of awkwardness laying
between them after last night. Last night, they go with the flow but
since morning, she rarely looked at him and no matter how much he tried
to ignore that, he felt a twitch in his heart. He again wanted to look
deep into her eyes, those angelic eyes and see the love shinning
through them. "Shy...I would have loved to but I have to send a report
before 2pm to one of my client and I am not even half done with it yet"
He excused. "Arjun..." Shaina whinned. "Aren't you gonna be a part of your friend's happiness?" Shaina blackmailed him. "I want to...But I can't yaar..."
He said with a helpless face. "may be you need to give me a special
dinner tonight" Arjun smirk with a smile and Shaina laughed at that.
"that we can surly give you...but i would have loved it if you can
join" Shaina said with a last attempt. She don't wanna force anything
of Arjun. It was just best that he was getting back to normal. "OK..We
will try if we are finished before that" "We???" Shaina asked with a
confused look. "Yeah We...Me and Arohi" He said looking at the shocked
jerked up face of Arohi who was looking at him with wide eyes. "I need
her assistance..." Arjun said. His gaze still fixed on Arohi's face as
she looked back at him with wide eyes. God!!! He love this GIRL so
much. Shaina pout look at Arjun and than at Arohi. "I think we need to
give a double treat" She said getting up, taking hold of her coat in
her hands as Arjun looked back at her. "That you have too..." He said
excitedly. "Ok then, I am leaving...But do try to come if even for few
moments" She said with a last request and Arjun nodded. "Arohi?" Shaina
called her who was playing with her fingers, totally anxious with the
time coming her way. She, alone with him, in a room. And she remember
last time she was alone with him in a room. But hearing Shaina's
voice she looked up with a weak smile. "Yeah?" Shaina noticed her
behavior and get worried. "Are you fine?" "yeah yeah...I am
...Completely...am totally fine" She replied quickly with a small
smile. "Ok...do try to come" "Will try my best" She said in a slow
voice almost mumbling to herself. Arjun inwardly smiled seeing the
exasperated look on her face. Shaina left the room saying bye to them.
Arohi's eyes were wandering around the room, not able to look at him at
this moment. Arjun smiled with his dimples showing there full deepness
and grinning, he get up from his chair and round the table to get on
her side and sit on the table with one leg support. Arohi's eyes were
now fixed on her floor, still playing with her fingers when Arjun bend
down and took hold of her hand. "Are you really ok Arohi?" He asked
rubbing his thumb on her soft hand. Arohi eyes shoot up to see his
happy face and blushed.
