Recap - Arjun meets his family , disturbed Aarohi

After few days..

AAROHIS POV

I parked my scooty and And felt my mind going blank. Even though i want to open up my heart with Arjun. I battled between my mind and my heart

Watchman uncle told me that Nivi and Arjuns parents went to a temple nearby. So that Thara must be around. I walked inside the kitchen and found seetha ma engrossed in her work

"Good morning seetha ma"I greeted her with a smile

"Good morning Aarohi"she smiled back

I kept my bag on the table and held my duppata tightly. My thoughts were back to him

"Did you see Mr. Arjun?"I asked to seetha ma

"He's getting ready in his room"

I took slow steps towards his room , holding my breath until Thara bumped into me

"Ouch.."

"I'm sorry"I apologised

She looked at me from top to bottom and shrugged her shoulders. I tried to move

"Wait. You are Aarohi right?"she asked

"Yes"

"Oh..So you are working here too. Double Job. Double Salary. Great"she smirked. I ignored her And tried to move away. She blocked my way again. What the hell?

"Well.. Now I'm here to take care of her.. So you can quit the job. I will talk to Arjun"

"It's none of your business Thara. This is my Job..my wish. And I enjoy doing my works. So please keep your head away from this"I said for which she fumed

"How dare you talk to me like this?"

"I don't regret anyway"

I walked away from her before she make a fuss out of it. Who the hell is she to order me?

I walked inside Arjuns room and soon regretted. He sat on the couch, shirtless surfing through his laptop. I bited my tongue and turned to walk away , smacking my head

"Ms. Aarohi?" I heard his voice from behind.

"Sorry Mr. Arjun..I.."

"Anything important?"

I took a glance at him and saw him wearing his shirt. I breathed

"Actually..I'm.."

"You okay?"

"I want to...say.. something. Very important"I finally managed to say

Come on Aarohi. You can do it.

"Tell me"he insisted

"I want to.."

I'm loosing my breath and I can hear my own heartbeat

"Ms. Aarohi?"

"I.."

He continued to stare at me bewildered until his phone rang. He excused himself to attend the call.

Oh god..I can't. I never can't. I smacked myself mentally to behave weird in front of him. Nandini was right.

When finally he disconnected the call I looked pale.

"What's it?"he asked.

"Mr. Arjun. I want to know whether.. You.. You love.."

"Love?"he raised his eyebrows

"I mean you love.. Coffee or tea?"I blabbered. He looked at me more puzzled. Oh god. It's so embarrassing.

"It's tea Ms. Aarohi"he said and I sighed sadly

"Ohkay..I'll bring your coffee"

"Ms. Aarohi.. I said tea"

"Yeah..I mean tea"I quickly rushed outside before he could say anything.

I'm loosing it. I wonder how people find it so easy , confessing their feelings. It's a very tough job. I looked at my sweaty palms and giggled

Thara walked restlessly in her room. Arjun and Aarohi went to his office. She was shaking in rage. Aarohi had managed to snatch her hatred from their first meeting

"How dare she talk to me like that?"

She scrolled through her contacts and her eyes caught the number of the right person. She smirked as she dialled for her friend Vicky

"Hey.Babe. already missing me?"

"Vicky. Ive a work for you. With benefits"

"Really? What's it babe"

"A surprise. I bet that you won't regret after seeing her"

She could hear his smirk

"Woah. Seems like youre quite impressed with her"

"Yeah. Very much" Thara gritted her teeth

"Who is the girl?" Vicky was desperate

"Aarohi. I don't like her presence neither here. Nor in his office. I want her to be away from my man. Else I'll fail to impress Nivi as well. So.. atleast her body will be useful for you. Did you get me?"

Vicky breathed

"Of course Baby. I'm desperate too."

"Great. Call me up when youre here. We'll catch up"

She disconnected the call and felt pleased to herself. When she walked outside she collided with Nivi who had paint colours with her. It spoiled Tharas dress.

"What's this Nivi? Cant you walk properly?"Thara shouted

" I'm sorry aunty"

"Aunty?Whom did you call aunty? "She shouted in rage.

Her little eyes filled with tears. Ramya walked outside when she heard Tharas outburst

"What is this thara? Why are you shouting at her?"

Nivi hugged Ramya tightly and weeped.

"Aunty see this.. What she did to my dress. Im getting late to office too"she stomped her feet

"Don't shout at her like this. She's a small girl right?"

" Whatever"she left ignoring them

Ramya took Nivi in her arms and consoled her

"I want to see my Aaru di"she hugged her

"Arjun.." Thara barged inside his cabin. He looked up from his work

"What are you doing right here. Everyone is celebrating the success of this project downstairs and youre busy with work."

"Thara. I've given the permission to party downstairs. That's it. I don't want to get involved"

"This is the result of your hardwork Arjun. So no excuses"

She grabbed his hands

"Thara leave me. Please"

She ignored him and took him downstairs. The employees broke into claps when they spotted him. Aarohi was standing in a corner busy talking with Parniti. She wasn't interested in the party too , but Parniti forced her to join.

Prakash Dixit had accepted their deal and had introduced their company into bigger markets. Another important meeting has to be held on the other day.

Thara dragged Arjun in the middle and forced him to drink. He refused. Everyone was letting themselves loose in happiness. Arjun gave in finally. Aarohi saw Thara stuffing him with drinks. She very well knew that Arjun won't be under control once he gets drunk. She couldn't stop him too. She didn't wanted to face Thara again.

"Hey..come on..have a drink Aarohi" Parniti insisted

"No.. Thanks. I don't drink"

"Atleast one"

Aarohi gave in too. She drank few glasses of wine and excused herself. She had lots of work to be done. Prakash Dixit was deeply impressed by Aarohis presentation. Arjun wanted her to present the next meeting too.

By almost 7 everyone left. Thara dragged Arjun to his cabin. Aarohi was still working on hers and failed to notice them. Arjun wasn't unconscious yet he felt his head spinning. She made him sit in the chair and sat opposite to him

"Let's go out Arjun.. We'll have more fun"

"I'm not feeling well Thara.."he held his head

"Everything is going well"she smiled and inched closer to him. Arjun shut his eyes as Thara fiddled with his shirt buttons. She opened the first one only to get startled by a phone call. She cursed Vicky for calling her at the wrong time.

"Vicky? What? now? Are you out of your mind..wait I'm coming down"

She turned back and found Arjun missing. She sighed and walked outside the office. Arjun walked to the washroom , washed his face and flushed his mouth. He felt a lot better.

When he came back to sense , he took his file in a hurry and walked outside cabin. Until his eyes fell on Aarohi , who sat on her cabin. She lay with her head on the table. He walked inside and tapped her shoulder. She opened her eyes faintly and looked at him. Her eyes felt heavy. The alcohol had its effect on her. She'd accidentally taken some drinks which was actually spiked by some of her colleagues.

"Mr. Arjun?"

"Why didn't you go back yet?"he Asked

Aarohi looked at the time and almost jumped up from her seat

"Oh..god I'm late"she held her head

"I'll drop you"he said for which she shook her head.

"No..Mr. Arjun im.."she coughed vigorously.

"You okay?"

She coughed again and held her throat. He searched for water and finally his eyes fell on a bottle in the nearby cabin. He grabbed it and gave it to her

"Have it"

She drank the bottle in a go and spitted it off.

"What happened?"

"Yuck..it tastes bitter. Mr. Arjun"she felt like throwing up.

"This is Vodka Mr. Arjun"she pouted and felt her head spinning again. He smelled the container and felt like smacking himself

"Yeah..it is"

"Let's go. Im feeling terrible"she packed her things in a hurry. She was getting dizzy as well. He nodded and they walked inside the lift. The lift door closed. Arjun and Aarohi stood at a distance.

The lift stopped suddenly and the lights went off. Aarohi screamed and he glared at her

"What's happening Arju.. Umm.. I mean Mr. Arjun?"she asked

"Damn it..i think the Watchman just switched off the electricity"

"God.."she held her head

"I'll call him up" he searched for his phone and cursed himself when he found it missing

"Shit!"

"What?"

"I think I left my phone in the cabin. Do you have your phone with you?"

She nodded and whipped out her phone from her bag. He noticed that the charge was less and there was no range inside the lift

"What will we do now?"

"No other option. We should Sit here till morning"he said making her widen her eyes

"Whole night here?"
