os...BANDHAN

Arjun threw away the alarm clock which was annoyingly ringing from last 5mins. He felt someone is sleeping in his arms peacefully keeping her head in his chest. He tried to looked down at the beautiful face of her..when did she came to his bed..he thought. He felt arohi trying to get up but the grip of his hand was too tight for her to get free..arjun closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. Arohi tried hard to get free without disturbing arjun..she touch his forehead n check his fever..it was gone now..it was really tough for her to handle his sickness..first food poisoning n then fever this is why she never wanted him to be here..she always knew how delicate her best friend was..he can't handle resturant food everyday,he never lived away from his family before n doing job at other company was out of his character.he was so use to home food n extra pamper n he himself is future owner of his dad's millions of business but still he was here just for her...staying at a small apartment..alone..working 9 to 5 at office.
 finally Arohi managed herself to get free from him..she looked down at the pale face of him...her heart ache to touch his face.. to caresses him..to ran finger in his hair but she won't do that..she slipped down the bed regretting the moment  she fall asleep beside him. She didn't know how she got into his arm.but the feel of being in his arm was bliss..for a moment she felt as if it she meant to be there but She shouldn't feel like this..its wrong..he is her best friend n her temporary husband.

Arjun hated the emptiness that he felt everytime arohi left his side..he can't understand his feelings now a days..he hate when she said that her co worker sid is so cute n helpful to her..don't know why he  wanted to punch that sid or watever who is cute to aru..why he can't tolerate anyone when it comes to her..is it just because he want to protect her or there was something more..
 It was 5th months since they got married..after the rituals according to the plan arohi fly to Delhi to join her job n after 2days she saw arjun at her door. She was shocked..she never expected arjun to leave his home,his parents n Tina for her. But he was there with a perfect excuse..he wants to experience of working in other's company..this is what he said to everyone but in real he wanted to be there for her like everytime he was in her life ...
Arohi saw freshly bath arjun from the kitchen counter..
"how are U feeling now" she asked
"very hungry" he answered..
she smiled n placed a plate with alu ka paratha..arjun jumped n hugged arohi like a child n placed a kiss on her cheek. He was missing home food like anything..he started eating like he had not eaten for a year..
" thank god..tujhe parathe banane to aa gaye.." arjun said
"huh..mujhe bahot kuch Ata hai bachu.." she said with a gigle. She looks so beautiful..arjun thought. She have grown with him yet he felt her so new so beautiful everyday..bt why it wasn't felt before..why he never noticed that her hairs are so silky..why he never felt her skin so soft..why he never felt  touching her lips  with his before..n why now??? He couldn't forget when last night he saw arohi's top buttons of shirt were open while sleeping showing the path of her deep secret parts..he felt an urge to go through that way but he knew it was wrong. She was only his best friend..for whom he can live n for whom he can die...n yet he can't named his emotions.

"tu aaj v yehi reh ja..koi zarurat nehi akele is halat main rehne ki" she said with her forever bossy tone.
He nodded in reply..arohi had changed to her office attaire..to a fitted blouse n pencil skirt..she was looking extremely hot with her curve..
Arjun stopped eating n look at arohi from head to toe n make a face like he didn't like it "tu sari pehen ke nehi jaa sakti?"
Arohi stopped n look at arjun in horror..she couldn't realise why he was asking her to wear sari..
" kyu..isme kya burai hai? "
Now it was arjun's turn to get speechless..what should he tell now..how could he say that he don't want anyone to see her like this..he couldn't.
" jyada moti lag rahi hai isme" arjun answered or lied.
"really?" arohi felt like crying..it was an important day for her at office n she can't look "moti" at any cost. without wasting tym she rush to her room..n arjun took a breath of relief.
But after sometime when arohi stepped out of her bedroom arjun felt like kicking himself..she was looking even more hotter than before..her black sari was perfectly exposing her perfect waist..he couldn't resist more..
He was so close to her..there was numerous time they had been close but this closness..this look at arjun's eyes were so new..so awkwardly nice..arjun reach to her shoulder n stopped before his hand do something insane..he said "ye pin khol de"
Arohi couldn't look away from his eyes or ignore his command..he pull out the pin n let her pallu fall in her hand.
Arjun coughed n jerked off his hand from her..
"avi thik lag rahi hai" arjun said .
Arohi smiled hesitately n reach to her files n handbag. She stopped n said "kal tere sone ke baad Tina ka call aya tha..tu soya tha to Maine phone silent pe rakh diya" n before she walked out she said "aur ha mr.mehra ne v phone kiya tha.. divorce ki final hearing agle hafte hai". N she was was gone.

arjun felt a huge weight inside him..he don't know what he want but now he definitely know what he don't want..it was more than a month since he talk to Tina...he just don't want to talk to her n answer to those questions again n again..tina knew in which conditions arjun got married..n he didn't want Tina to wait for him..he knew it was nothing more than attraction for Tina he feel but still as long as they hadn't broke up he shouldn't think abt his feeling for arohi..he wasn't that type of guy..he need to talk with Tina.

Arjun landed in chandigarh airport exactly after 2days..he missed this city..he missed everything about it..but without arohi he can't even feel happy to be back. There was no day..no memories where there was he   was arojhiless!!! His car passed by his college..the same college where one day arohi was treated like queen n suddenly one day she was a piece of joke..everytime he remember that day..he felt like punching that idiot face of mikheil.
 What a day it was..arohi had win the general election of college defeating mikheil with a huge numbers of votes..all friends of them were  happy n partying in the clg till night..when everyone left arohi asked arjun to drop Tina till she do some cleaning of the hall..arjun didn't want to leave her alone at that night but arohi convinced him that she was new aged  jhasi ki rani who can protect herself...
Arjun was in the half way to reach tina's place where he saw mikheils car running towards their clg..arjun didn't know what his mind said he stopped his bike n hire a cab for tina n without wasting a moment he turned his bike on the way to college.
There was a body lying in blood arching in pain n arohi was holding a knife in one hand n trying to cover her  shoulder with remaining part of her dress..arjun ran to arohi n without asking anything he realised what happened there..mikheil got hospitlised for a week,arohi wanted to file a attempt to molestation case against him but college authority n his father request her not to do so..but that was not end..mikheil spread a rumour that his attack was done by arjun because he saw arjun n arohi making out in college hall at night n when he said that he will complain arjun attacked him!!!!!
This news spread in college faster than jungle fire..arohi n arjun were openly teased n taunted by all in college..the situation was even more horrible in home where arohi's mom was crying all day n night over arohi's broken marriage n her future. In all this situation one day arjun announced that he will marry arohi..both families were happy..amrit alhuwalia could never thank more.. but arohi didn't agreed. She couldn't let arjun's life to destroy for some sophisticated people. Arjun's dad..mr.rudra patap singhania..the bestfriend of arohi convince her that if she get married to arjun she will not have to face all the drama going around n if she want she could get divorce from arjun n in that way rudra will always support her.. But the thing arjun n arohi didn't know that marriage was not only some rituals..it was a bandhan..a bond which can't be broken by some piece of paper. It was just like the friendship they shared even before knowing the meaning..

Arjun's car stopped right at the front of a cafeteria..he walk to the beautiful girl waiting for him. After a friendly hug n asking about general things arjun said.. "before U say anything I want say sorry Tina"
"for what arjun? For not calling me for more than a month? Or for getting married even without asking me? " she asked raising a eyebrow
"m sorry for keeping U in a messy relationship" arjun replied
"relationship??" Tina laughed
 "hum kab the relationship main? Us relationship mein to bas main thi..tum to the hi nehi..tumhe to yaad v nehi hoga hum mera birthday kab hai..aur jaha tak sawal hai intezar ka to mr.arjun singhania Maine kavi intezar hi nehi kiya tumhara..main janti thi tum wapas nehi aaoge..intezar tha to uss pal ka jab tum apne pyar ko realise karo..arohi ke liye" Tina stopped taking a deep breath. Her face was relaxed n calm.
 N arjun was stunned..he couldn't say more than "tumhe kaise pata?"
" tumhare aur arohi ke alawa sabko pata hai..mujhe to us din se pata hai jab tum hamari dinner date ko spoil karke ek ph call pe arohi ke pass daur ke gaye the..kyu ki wo bathroom main gir gayi thi..tumhari priority,care,concern sab arohi hi thi..lekin main phir v waha thi kisi ek hope ke sath ke ek din tum mere pyar ko v dekh paoge..lekin wo hope Maine kho di..jab tumne shadi kar li..main samajh gayi chahe circumstances jo v ho U guys are meant to be together.." Tina said with a smile.
Arjun didn't know how to react but he was happy that his feelings for arohi was never wrong. 
"to tumne itni urgently kyu bulaya mujhe"? Arjun asked
"ye dene ke liye" Tina handed a wedding card in arjun's hand..arjun exclaimed n happily congratulate her. They were ready to leave when Tina stopped before she get into car she turned to arjun n said " suna hai tum dono divorce le rahe ho?..don't be stupid arjun..don't let her go" Tina lightly placed a kiss on arjun's cheek n then she was gone.

Rudra pratap singhania was pleasantly surprised to see his son in his cabin..he didn't expect him to came back so soon..
"what's up young man?" rudra hugged arjun lovingly.
Arjun didn't answer..he was in deep thought..after arohi his father is like his friend...he never took any decision without asking him..even marrying arohi was a joint decision of them..rudra can learn his son's silence..he again asked "kya baat hai beta"
"dad..i can't live without her" arjun managed to say. Rudra was just waiting for to hear this from arjun since the day he had seen the dream of having arohi as his daughter-in-law. Rudra didn't need to hear more from arjun..he knew his son has fallen for the first time for the right thing.
Rudra make straight face n with a serious tone he said " next time when I see u..i want my bahu with U" n started laughing n hugged arjun.

At the same time arohi was trying to get some sleep..but no..her sleep had been long gone with arjun..just a note in the dinning table n he left for India..just like that. Arohi felt more darkness around her..more loneliness..n more sad with every passing second..with the new morning she will be a divorcee..she will be free from the relationship..n after that..may be arjun will go back to Tina..n she? She had no plan..but even the thought of a life without arjun was impossible..the pheras n the vows they took was constantly coming to her mind..she still feel the shiver remembering the moment when her 'mang' was filled with 'sindoor' of arjun's name.. she felt a tear rolling down..she closed the eyes before her pillow get more wet.

Arohi was waiting for arjun to come so that they could go together to court..but as usual he was late.. even arohi didn't want this tym to pass..she wanted to relive each moment of being a married women. Arohi walked to the door hearing the doorbell..arjun was there looking extremely handsome in his black shirt n jeans..
"aaj v late..tu kab sudhrega yaar" arohi said irritatingly..arjun didn't answer.he was lost in exploring the beauty in front of him..did she looked this much beautiful even when she use to run after him for a piece of chocolate..her deep cut salwar was exposing her long neck n smooth back..Arohi again asked him while checking the papers,"tu aise achanak kyu chala gaya?"
"kuch zaruri kam tha" arjun replied,without taking his eyes off from her. Arohi felt a huge weight over her heart thinking that important work was might be Tina..s
"yahan ek final sign kar de..aur phir tujhe mujhse chutkara mil jayega..hamesha ke liye" arohi said handed him a paper..she didn't know why her voice lowered saying those words.
Arjun look at her eyes..he can say she didn't got any sleep for many nights..
He took the paper n throw after turning  into a paperball.
Arohi shockingly looked at him..what was he doing..
"ye kya kar raha hai tu..pagal hai kya" arohi said angrily coming closer to him.
Arjun pulled her even more closer.."m doing what I want"
She looked at his eyes with several question in her own..
Arjun didn't know what to say n how to say..the most flirtious guy of college was searching for words to express his feeling  but he needed to let her know..he couldn't think more n placed his lips on her for the most amazing kiss of his life.
Arohi couldn't breath..or she was breathing faster..she didn't know..nor she want to know anything at that moment..arjun's lips were driving her crazy..after few seconds of shock..arohi gave up to his lips..arjun's one hand travel down to her waist to hold her properly..when he pulled out  himself from the kiss he looked her eyes..he saw the unspoken words of her..he placed a kiss in her forehead with so much of love that arohi couldn't hold her tears.. He wishper to her "nehi reh sakta main tere bina..ek pal ke liye v nehi soch sakta uss zindegi ke bare main jaha tu na ho..main tere sath rehna chahta hu..zindegi ka har pal tere sath gujarna chahta hu..aur isi emotion ko agar pyar kehte hai to ha main tujhse bahot pyar karta hu...itna pyar ke tere hasi aage mujhe kuch dikhta hi nehi..itna pyar ke tere khusi ke liye main duniya ke sare gam utha sakta hu.."
Arohi hugged him tightly..so tightly as if she want to feel his bone crush on her..but she couldn't say anything.
After few moment arjun ask "tujhe kuch nehi kehna"
Arohi suddenly jerked him off from her..how can she do this..she couldn't build her happiness hurting Tina..she angrily started
"what the hell are U saying? Kaise bhool gaya tu Tina ke bare main? Wo Teri girlfriend hai"
"we broked up" arjun said
Arohi was never a girl who can feel good over anyone heartbreak but she felt a relief but suddenly that feeling taken over by guilt.
"mere liye?" arohi asked..
Arjun was getting restless now,he didn't answer but shoot an another question to arohi "tu mujhse pyar karti hai ya nehi?" this time it was arohi's turn to remain silent.she can't answer..arjun had enough of this silence act..he pick up the paperball from the floor n open it..arohi saw him signed n handed to her.
"mujhe jo bolna tha..maine bol diya ab tujhe jo karna hai kar.." n then he went to the guest room...
Arohi didn't know what should she do now...her heart was dying to tell arjun those things which he said few minutes ago but her mind was feeling guilty. See sit down on the sofa..there was few more hours in her hand to follow her heart or to lose arjun..she make her mind n she picked up her ph to call Tina.
Arjun was not ready for this situation..he was thinking that arohi will happily agree to his love but he had forgot that his aru can never see anyone in pain..he was angry for a moment thinking that arohi didn't give any importance to his love but only cared for tina's heartbreak. But now he knew that arohi felt the same for him..she would never let him kiss her if she don't feel the same..he was regretting that his anger taken over him which make him sign the paper.
