Recap - Aarohis concerns about Arjun, a bit of change in him

After few weeks...

Aarohi walked inside the living room and kept her bag aside. To her relief Arjun had told her that Seetha ma will be joining back in few weeks. She quickly prepared tea and walked inside their room. Nivi was sleeping peacefully. A smile crept over her face as she walked towards her. Nivis school had closed for her summer vacations. So she could spend more time with Aarohi.

Aarohi kept the tea on table and walked towards the wardrobe. Arjun came out the exact moment from the washroom , shirtless and they collided with each other. She put her arms across his neck and he held her waist for support. They lost their balance and fell on the bed. His breath touched her face as she looked at him , shocked. His eyes send gitters around her spine. He was shocked too but  he hided it well.

He got up immediately before Nivi stirred from her sleep. Aarohi too got up with a jerk.

"I'm..sorry...I.."she stammered

"It's okay..it was my fault..I'm sorry"he said and grabbed a shirt from his wardrobe. Before she could realise he walked outside making her sigh.

"He said sorry"she whispered to herself and smiled.

Aarohi partned the curtains of the room and the Sunrays peeped inside. Nivi rubbed her eyes and frowned in sleep. Aarohi smiled and walked to her

"wake up sleepy head"

"Aaru di.. 5 more minutes.."Nivi said pouting and covered herself

"Good girls wake up early"

"Offo.."Nivi sat up and Aarohi chuckled

"Very good girl"she kissed her forehead

Aarohi walked inside the kitchen. She recalled the morning incident and shivered. She didn't knew Arjun had such an effect on her.

"Aaru di.." nivis voice brought her back to her sense.

"Hm...?"

"What are you thinking? Are you bored too?" Nivi asked pouting

"No baby.. what happened to you?" Aarohi asked playing with her nose

"Aaru di.. I'm bored watching TV and playing video games.. Lets go outside... Please..?"

"Outside? Your nanna will kill me alive. He won't let us go" Aarohi said

"Hm..you're right..but there's no harm in asking him once.."Nivi got down from the slab and ran towards Arjuns room

"Nannaaa" she called out to him. Arjun looked up from his laptop and smiled. He took her in his arms and she sat on his lap

"Whats it? "He asked tweaking her nose

"Nanna...I'm bored sitting alone here. Aaru di also feels the same. Please take us outside for sometime. Please..?"she clung to him holding his palms

"I have work baby"he said and then he recalled Aarohis words.

She yearns for Love and Nothing else...

"Please nanna?"

"Fine then..go and ask your Aaru di first"he insisted.

"I'm ready"he heard Aarohis voice and saw her standing behind the pillar.

"See..."Nivi squealed in excitement. Arjun looked at Nivi and smiled.

"Yayy"nivi hugged him and rushed upstairs to change. He looked at Aarohi and found her smiling at him

"What?"

She shook her head and walked away. A small smile crept over his lips too

Arjun grabbed his car keys and sat on the front seat. Nivi dragged Aarohi to the seat besides Arjun and settled down herself in Aarohis lap.

"Lets go Nanna"Nivi said clapping her hands

"Where to..?"

Aarohi shook her head as if she have no idea. A part of her wanted to take Nivi to HAPPY HOMES but she brushed off the idea. Arjun drove the car silently. Nivi was too excited and kept looking outside the window. Arjun clearly noticed that she was too happy. He never took her outside. Only Raj did it whenever he was free.

"Mr. Arjun.. there's a small temple nearby..lets go there?" Aarohi asked.

"Yes nanna...we can go.."

Arjun silently nodded and within 5 minutes they reached the temple. Aarohi and Nivi got down from their sides. Arjun too came outside the car. Aarohi held Nivis hands and walked ahead. Arjun stood , gazing at them. She turned back and looked at him

"Aren't you coming?"Aarohi asked

"I don't believe in God."

Aarohi and Nivi looked at each other and sighed. They walked inside while Arjun waited.

Nivi and Aarohi prayed for something in common. They prayed for Arjun. Aarohi wanted him to change and Love Nivi with all his heart. Nivi too wants the same from him.

Once it was over they took the Gods offering , prasad and walked outside.

"Nivi..?"

"Hmm..?"

"Your nanna seems to be an enemy of the God. Is that true?"Aarohi asked

"I don't know Aaru di..Nanna never took me to temple. Darling used to take me here but not anymore. After Ammas death Nanna haven't visited the temple"

"Is that so?"

Nivi nodded

"If my grandparents were here they would have taken me to the temple"

"Where do they live?" Aarohi asked

"Darling told me that they live in Visakhakpatnam"

Aarohi was lost in her thoughts until she noticed the men behind her. They looked at her with lustful eyes. She turned back and noticed that they are too close to them. She gripped nivis hands tighter and increased her pace

"Baby..go..slow..we are not in a hurry"one of them commented and the others laughed.

From a distance Arjun noticed the gang behind Aarohi. He clenched his fists

"Oh god..Baby you look sweeter than the Gods prasad" another one commented

Aarohi stopped in her tracks and faced the man

"Wait..I'll give you something more sweeter"she grabbed him by collar and slapped him.

"Yay..aaru di" Nivi clapped her hands

The man looked at Aarohi with red shot eyes. He raised his hands to slap her back until he fell down with Another slap. This time by Arjun. Aarohi looked at Arjun with wide eyes. The gang soon scooted away 

Arjun glared at Aarohi and Nivi. They lowered their head.  He took nivi in his arms  and walked  towards the car ,  followed by a silent Aarohi. A small smile playing in her lips.
