Aarti couldn't sleep the whole night revising the incident...she knew it won't be easy to control her frame of mind every time... she thought about the contract she signed and promised her mother that she will not allow Veer to come closer but now it's becoming impossible for her to resist.

She has to find out a way...there was no point talking to her mother, she would obviously not understand. She remembers according to the contract they are married only for next six months.

Initially she decided to go for this marriage for the sake of Mr Oberoi's health and she perceptibly cannot go beyond in this relationship.

Even though things are fluctuating and situations are now dissimilar she still needs to stay away from Veer... the moment she looks at him she gets lost and everything goes past her control...

She thought of drinking a cup of coffee... It was 4:00am. She got up adjusting her pajamas and purple spaghetti top...

She picked up the cup and was about to pour when she felt him behind her...

"What are you doing here?" his voice sounded seductive while he stood closely behind her almost near her ear...

She bite her lip and turned around "coffee..."

He frowned at her "why did you get up?"

"I am better now" she said looking away from his gaze...

Next minute she saw him leaving ...she wasn't relaxed... something inside her was hitting her hard to avoid him... why couldn't she just hold his hand and never let him go away...why couldn't she tell him how much she adores him day and night.

Ever since from college she was dying for this moment with him and now when he himself wants to come closer, she's going far from him...

"I am such an idiot" she murmured to herself...

She felt like she kept a heavy stone on her heart to avoid the feeling coming out but the truth is he is inside her heart ever since she saw him years back...

She looked at the dawn from the window...then slowly opened the main door and stepped outside, she liked the cool air on her already hot body....

She smiled looking at the beautiful mountains from the garden outside...

She opened her long hair till her hips and kept the cup on the table.... She opened her arms and inhaled the morning breeze....

He was watching her from the threshold while she was simply lost looking at the nature... for the first time he felt Aarti was back. Carefree, lively with always a smile on her lips...he knew she loves him to an extent where she would risk her life and never even think about herself.

He knew in the past few years she suffered a lot because of him...but now he wouldn't let anything happen to her... he has to think something this time.

"Aarti" Rama shouted from inside... making her turn around...

The moment she turned Veer hide behind the door... he didn't wanted to feel embarrassed...

She quickly sauntered inside

"You shouldn't go out in the cold weather wearing this thin top" Rama offered her a jacket...

Aarti reluctantly wore the jacket "but I didn't feel cold at all"

Rama kept on with her blabbering when Aarti saw her phone ringing...

"Hi Sheetal"

"Now quickly get ready for breakfast" Rama shouted in between

Aarti nodded and lied on the bed talking to Sheetal...

He opened the door only to see her lying on the bed on her front fidgeting with her little curls falling on her face... she didn't look at him. He opened the wardrobe to pick his uniform...

She turned around but he had left

--------------------------------------------------------------

Veer wore his uniform and was all ready to leave...

Aarti sneak peeked out of the window to catch a glimpse of him...

"Sheetal I will call you back" she said and disconnected the phone...

As usual her heart beats raced the moment she saw him...

His handsome features as usual made her go crazy...she shyly smiled at him leaving for his training...

No doubt he had a big responsibility for training the country's para commandoes.

She still remembers from day one, he was always focused on his work and it's not easy for him to change himself for her but she felt him closer in the past few days...

Aarti was still admiring him from the window when she heard her phone

"Dad"... she immediately answered "is everything alright?"

Mr. Oberoi sadly gave her the news

"Oh know...when?" Aarti worriedly talked

Rama came in with a glass of milk when she saw Aarti's anxious face...

She stood for some time watching Aarti's expression changing...

After few minutes Aarti disconnected the phone

"What happened?" Rama asked

Aarti looked at the glass of milk and made a bad face "you know I hate milk"

"Forget about the milk...tell me what happened" Rama kept the glass away

"Mr. Oberoi called" Aarti replied

Rama curiously looked at her "is he alright?"

"Yes mom... his sister in England had a heart attack and she is calling him over there..." Aarti said sadly

"Oh..." Rama looked thoughtful... "So he's leaving?"

"Yes...and in the mean time he's handed over the channel to one of his best friends" Aarti added...

Rama curiously asked again "so when is he leaving?"

"Tomorrow" Aarti replied...

"Ok, you drink your milk" Rama left the room...

---------------------------------------------------------

"Everything happens for good" Rama said

Manmohan took the cup of tea "why do you look so happy?"

Rama smiled and opened her suitcase "nothing, you concentrate on your tea"

Manmohan knew there must be something cooking in Rama's brain. He knew she doesn't have enough sense to think about the right and wrong.

It was late evening

"Aarti... pack your stuff. We are leaving tomorrow." Rama said

Aarti stunned at her mother's voice, couldn't understand what to say "but mom...I am feeling much better"

"So what, don't you understand this is only a contract marriage that can end anytime, and now Mr. Oberoi is not staying here so you don't have to stay with Veer" Rama opened the wardrobe to take out her clothes...

Aarti fumed at her mother "but Mom...what will I do with you? At least I must stay till Veer agrees."

"Agrees? For what?" Rama turned around and looked at her daughter "you know he won't leave his job and will risk your life as well. I agreed for this marriage only because of your stubbornness and now I am regretting that."

"If Veer asks me to stop then I won't come with you" Aarti said firmly...

Rama angrily looked at her "again, you're not listening to your mother Aarti" Rama crossed her arms at her...

"Fine, I will agree to this as well. But if Veer doesn't stop you. Then you will not create any drama and come with us"

Aarti saw her irately keeping her bag away... she knew this time Veer will support her and will definitely ask her to stop going with her mother.

She smiled thinking about her new beginning with Veer...she recalled last night when he kissed her on the neck. The way he touched her clearly shows how much he wants her...

Aarti closed her eyes, she was waiting for this day from past so many years when he would come to her and confess that he loves her.
