Hearing me scream Arjun dropped all the bottles and looked at me with a chiseled cat smile and tried to stand up but slipped again inside the bathtub. I marched towards him in anger.

" What?? What the hell are you doing here in my house, in my bedroom or say in my BATHROOM?" I hit him with the showpiece and he was still smiling with his eyes drooping.

Arjun-" I called you Miss Aarohi, but you... you ignored me and my calls. So I came here." he gave his reply and all I wanted was to bang his head but then it striked me hearing his voice that he was DRUNK!.

"Ewwww!!!! you are drunk?" I asked him trying to make him stand and holding my breath as his alcohol smell was making me puke.

Arjun-" Nahi. No. Nopppppe. I didn't drink, the drink made me drink it." he said animatedly while now I knew that he was literally out.

Raj/ Antara-"Aarohi?!! Princess are you alright?/ Open the door beta." I heard mom and Dad's voice from outside and now I was shell shocked on what to do next.

" Mumma... Dadda, now what should I do?"

Arjun-" Mumma Dadda... means your mom dad right? Let's meet them last time when I dropped you, you invited me to meet them right, but I denied. So this time I will for sure meet them or else they will feel bad." He started going towards my room and I pulled him back with lot of force making him tumble and my back hit the wall and he stood right in front of me sandwiching me between the wall and him.

"Are you mad or what? You will not meet them now, just be here and do not make any sound I will see them." I told him pointing my finger at him and he nodded his head like a cute baby making me smile a little. All day long he behaves like a dragon and being drunk he behaves like a baby.

Raj-" Aarohi open the door child, are you alright?" I again heard Dad call out for me and I made Arjun sit on the floor with the support of the wall and asked him to put his finger on his lips.

"You will not say a word, be a good boy and finger on your lips." Giving him one last instruction and praying to god I went to open my room door.

Antara-" Aarohi what happened why did you shout so loudly?"

Raj-" What took you so long to open the door?" He hugged me and kissed my forehead while I was still panting with all the running and fear.

"Nothing Dadda woh... woh I saw a lizard on the wall and just got scared. You know right how scared I'm of lizards, yaah so that's it." I gave him a toothy smile while both mom and dad shook their head.

Raj-" So where is it now? Let me shoo it away so that my daughter won't get scared." Dad was coming inside when I blocked his way.

"Dadddd... I shooed it away, I mean it went out through the window. Sorry for disturbing you two because of my shouts. It's alright I will sleep and you both also go, look how tired you both look.." I animatedly yawn asking them to sleep but Dad still didn't listen and asked me to lie down on the bed and once I'm asleep he will leave.

"Dad I will sleep pakka promise you both also go." After a lot of attempts Mom dragged Dad from my room not before kissing my forehead.

"Huffffffffff !!!!! Bach gaye, let's see what that trouble maker boss of mine is doing inside." As soon as I opened the bathroom door only to see him sitting by the bathtub which is now completely filled with water and smelt like lavender.?!

Arjun-" Hey!!!!! you came so quick. This smells so good right? Bubbles ! Lot's of bubbles." With this Arjun blew soap bubbles on me as soon as I neared him. What the!!!! No he didn't do that?! He didn't just....didn't do that!

" Arjun anaconda Malhotra you poured the entire lavender shower gel in that bathtub? HOW COULD YOU! THAT WAS MY MOST FAVORITE ONE." I pulled my hair in frustration and he just made a weird face staring at me with animatedly big eyes.

Arjun-" You are acting like a mad person, are you mad?" He now started splashing water like kids. Aarohi do something before he drenches himself in water.

"Arjun sir, let's go out now. Come your head must be paining right you take some rest." I asked him slowly cajoling him like one does with a baby.

Arjun-" Yaa my head is paining, you know it is going round and round and round!!! But how do you know this?" I made him stand with lots of difficulties and started dragging him out of the bathroom.

"I just know, actually your eyes they look swollen and that happens when one needs sleep." Making him sit on the bed I wiped his hands and face with towel, thank god his cloths didn't get wet or else what I would have given him to change.

Arjun-" Huhh... no my eyes are not swollen because of sleep they are like this because I cried. I cried a lot, I cry every day but people can't see my tears as I don't let them see." His drunk tone was mixed with pain and his words had heaviness in them. He cried? But why did he cry? Was it because of whatever happened today? 

"Why don't you let others see your tears and Why were you crying and why did you drink?" I asked everything at once causing him to giggle and me to smile. This was the first time I have seen any emotion on his face other than akdu, sadu and anger.   

" You are a express train. Arohi the express train!" He again giggled and poked my cheeks and I could only do was stand there with my eyes wide. 

"And what did you ask?" His pain filled voice brought me back from my shocked reverie. 

"Why did I cry? Or...Or why did I did I dri...nk? Am I right Miss Arohi?" He grinned again but this time it was humorless with layer of tears in his eyes.  

"What is not there in my life to not cry. Everyone makes me cry, my dad, Mrs. Malhotra, Manik... Only Ruhi don't make me cry, with her I always smile. You know who...who Ruhi is?" Arjun was talking to me and in the mean time I made him sit on my bed with his back resting towards the headboard. 

 "Tch! How will you know? Budhu me!" He face palmed himself and looked at me grinning...again!

"Wait I'll tell you about her. You know she is my sister. No wait... not sister but my daughter. She is like a star in my dark life. I have always protected her and always will." He was playing with the bedspread and talking animatedly but with each words he spoke his expression changed from love to anger to hurt and finally smiling. I made him lie down but he again got up holding onto the curtains of my bed.

"Sir just lie down here for sometime I will get something for you, your headache will shoo away." I asked him to sleep so that I can bring some lime water for him but then why will this akdu listen to me, even in his drunk state he is irritating me.

Arjun-"Nooooooo... don't go leaving me alone. Why does everyone leave me and go away? Am I that bad that whoever I love or want, leaves me. You know I'm not like this akdu, sadu, khadoos, or whatever you call me. I was never like this but circumstances made me like this, I forgot to trust people, to be nice to them, to laugh or have fun." 

"You know why?" He asked me as if a child was complaining to his mother. I nodded my head in no and i don't know when i scooted down to his level and why my hands started caressing his hair. 

"My partner went away na, my Manu left me. Naaah wait he didn't leave me I pushed him away. But I swear it was his fault, he betrayed me. He... he let me down. It was not a one time mistake or betrayal he gave. I heard from many people that he was doing wrong but I never trusted them, I always trusted him but see..." he gave a sarcastic laugh "... He betrayed me. That was not just a project for me, it was my dead mother's last wish her dream which was at stake because of him. That is why I got so angry and lost control over me.

He... He thinks I hate him but I never hated him, I can never, but whenever I see him all those memories comes back. Why did he do this to me Arohi? Hmm? Am I a bad brother? You know... You know he said that he'll make sure I regret my every word but he doesn't know that I do that already." He held my hands in tight grip not leaving me for a second and his talks made me confuse but then I understood that he was talking about his fight's with Manik sir. The love and care can be seen in his eyes for his brother but why is he like this so hard on himself and Manik sir?

"Arjun sir... I guess you should sleep. I.. I will--" He again cut me in between.

Arjun-" It hurts to see him like this, to see us like this all distant, when he calls me Mr. Malhotra it hurts here. *he kept my hand which he was holding in his at his heart* But why he did all this? Why he made me doubt him, why he brought this difference between us?"

"Sir how can you be so sure that he betrayed you? Did you ever asked him again? Did you try mending those gaps? I don't know if I should say anything here but as an outsider I can clearly see the love and craving you both have for each other. But your ego is stopping you. It's been 5 years to whatever the matter was, and I don't think that one can be angry on their loved one's for so long even if they commit a sin. Relationship never go with pointing out on other's wrong doings but it works when we let things go and their mistakes and forgive them for a happy life ahead. You are the elder one you should put more efforts to mend a relation and find out that why he did for what he did." I stated out what I could feel, from the time I had joined this office and known these people and now listening to Arjun sir himself makes me just come to one conclusion that they have drifted apart not cos of some mere project deal but because of their egos which came in between.

" I don't know, everytime I see him and Mrs. Malhotra brings those scars back. I accepted him even when he was my step brother but I always loved him and he betrayed me just like his mother did to her friend. They are all same." Arjun came back to square one.

"So why do you love Ruhanika then? Even she is your step sister right? She is also Mrs. Malhotra's blood. And if you hate Manik then why do you keep a check on him sir through Shivansh sir?" I pointed out and this made him silent. I know I shouldn't have said this but he is wrong here. He doesn't hate Manik sir, he is just acting to be all hard and loving Ruhanika shows that he doesn't have any issues with Manik for him being Mrs. Malhotra's son.

Arjun-" Ruhi is different she didn't betray me, and I... I don't check on anyone. Hey how do you know this?" I smiled as he gave me a shocked look as if I caught him red handed. I just smiled, being his assistant comes with benefits but I had once heard him and Shivansh sir talking or say Shivansh sir teasing him while telling about Manik sir's whereabouts.

"I was just guessing but see I was right sir. You do care then why pretend that you don't? Your weird behavior today said it all and also that looks you and Manik sir were giving to each other." 

"I cannot, I won't. Manik did the mistake he will come to me." Arjun spoke stubbornly with  a pout on his face that surely made erupt some weird feelings in my stomach. 

"I just want my brother back Arohi. please bring him back to me. please." A tear slipped from his eyes and Arjun caught hold of my hands in a tight grip. 

"Will you do that for me. Please." His vulnerable voice was making me feel weak and disturbingly for me I cannot see him like this, 

"I promise Arjun sir, i'll bring your brother back to you. I promise." I whispered as he slowly started to slip into a deep slumber with his head dropping on my lap.

"You are so sweet my Rohi."
