Recap - Arjun and Nivi celebrating her birthday in Happy Homes

Arjun drove the car silently.  His eyes fixed at a distance. His thoughts still roaming around Happy Homes. Around Aarohi. He had misunderstood her in every means. She wasn't the one whom she pretended to be.

"Nanna..are you listening to me?" Nivis voice brought him back to his sense

"Yes baby"

"Haan. Then i became the catcher. They hid behind the wall and..." nivi continued her blabbering. Arjun could see how happy she is. After spending time with Aarohi and her family. A Family which she made

They reached back home. Arjun walked to his room while Ramya took Nivi for dinner. Denying the food he walked to his room and unbuttoned his shirt. Hanging them in the hanger. He walked inside the washroom

The chill water made him loose his sense. He was deeply disturbed. Even though he was physically present. His mind and heart was still with Aarohi.

ARJUNS POV

What changed within a day?

I felt my mind going blank. I had the best day in my life today and why..? Why I'm i still disturbed. I stepped outside after the shower and searched for my shirt in the wardrobe.

"Mr. Arjun?"

I turned back and saw Aarohi at the door. She looked at me. Embarrassed when she found me shirtless

"I'm..sorry Mr. Arjun"

I took slow steps towards her. What's she doing here? Now? At this hour?

"Ms. Aarohi?"

In a blink she's nowhere to be seen. Gosh. I'm i dreaming? I looked around and to myself. Yes..I'm dreaming. What has happened to me?

I grabbed a T shirt from the wardrobe , wore it. And moved to balcony. The cool breeze somewhat relaxed my senses. I recall the words. I heard today from Divya. Aarohis story

"Angel....You know why we are calling her like that? Because she's indeed an angel. Who came into our lives. Our mother Lilly got her from roadside. Wrapped in a hospital cloth. She was left near a wastecounter. Near an orphanage.  She was just 3 months old. Mother took her home. And raised her as her own daughter. When she was 8 years We met. My real father was trying to sell me. To my uncle after my mother's death. Angel  saved me. Took me home. After our Mothers death. They shifted us to another orphanage. A small orphanage yet our family started getting bigger. Arun came. He was working for a local goon. When he was just 10. Angel brought him home. We studied together. Later Nandini came. Her mother died when she was young. So her father left her in the orphanage and moved abroad. We were a family. By providing each other so much of support and love. We grew up. When Nandinis father returned he helped us to put up a separate orphanage. From then...till now..Angel saved so many lives.  Small children. Old people. Widows. She saved them all. And now we are a family. And for us..shes a elder sister. We believe in God Arjun sir...and That's why she's an angel for me. Not only for me. For each and every individual living in Happy Homes "

She had gone through so much and saved so many lives. Divya was right...she is indeed an Angel

"Nanna.."Nivis voice brought me back to my sense. I turned back and saw her glaring at me. I smiled and took her in my arms

"Did you have dinner?"i asked

"Yes..now I'm sleepy"she rubbed her eyes

"Nivi?"

"Hm.."

"Can i ask you something?"

She nodded her head playing with my collar

"Who is Aarohi for you..?"

"Ammo. So much build up for this silly question "she giggled

"Answer me baby"

"Nanna..Aaru di is my friend. My bestest friend. I love her so much"

"Why?"

"Because.. Hmm..She plays with me. Spends time with me. We are ausone when we are together and..."

"And..?"i asked

"She is like my Amma..nanna. she loves me so much and i love her too"she said with a twinkle in her eyes.

I have heard enough. What else did i expect to hear? I wanted this to hear from her mouth. I couldn't help but to smile

"Do you like her that much?"i asked for which she nodded again

"More than me?"

She stared at me silently with a pout

"Answer me.. Nivi"

"Not more than you nanna..I love you"she hugged me. A drop of  tear escaped my eyes. I patted her hairs

"I love you too. Are you sleepy?"

"Yes"

I took her to the bed and made her lay down. Covering her with the duvet i kissed her forehead

"Good night Baby"

"Good night nanna"she closed her eyes to sleep

I walked back to the balcony. Fixing my thoughts. Is it just admiration? She's real. Before i met her I was a heartless beast. Not caring about this world. Not caring about my daughter. But right now...what has happened to me

Aarohi had gifted back my happiness. My parents. This is the real me. Who hid behind the old Arjun. She made me a better person.

Then what's it? Why the hell I'm so bothered about her?

I closed my eyes in frustration

"Is this Love?"

I opened my eyes wide as soon as i said it. Did i mention about Love?

"What's wrong with you Arjun? Love? And Ms. Aarohi?"

How can i think like this?

Why cant i? I was always distubed whenever I spot Aarohi with any other guy. I hate Arun because he's around Aarohi all the time. I'm i jealous of him?

I stood by her when Thara shouted at her that day. I do care for her.

I felt my knees getting weak. Did I Love Her?

I walked back to my room. Found kavyas frame besides the table. I took it in my hands. Running my hand through it.

"Kavya..i feel helpless. I feel terrible. I don't know why she came to my life. She takes care of our daughter and Nivi loves her so much. I know that i owed only to love you with all my heart. But i don't know why im I feeling like this. Nivi needs Aarohi in her life.Kavya. I never felt like this to any other woman after your death. But today....Today I want an answer for this"

"Can I..Can i invite Aarohi to my Life? Will you forgive me for that?"
.

The breeze touched his face. Touching his wavy hairs. Kavya was answering him. Arjun needed Aarohi in his life.

"Kavya? I love Aarohi "he said it finally. A drop of tear rolled down his cheeks. He clutched her frame closer to his heart

"Aarohi..i need you. I need you in my Life"

He smiled with tears. And looked at Nivi who slept with a small smile in her lips. Grabbing his car keys. He rushed downstairs.

"Arjun..where are you going? Have you dinner"Ramya called out for him.

"I'll have it later ma..Have an important work to finish off"

"You can do it tommorrow Arjun"

"No ma..this is the right moment. I can't delay it anymore "he smiled widely and rushed to the car poach.

On the way he smiled wholeheartedly. Wondering how Aarohi will react. If he ask her to give him a chance to prove himself. He loved her.

15 minutes later he was in front of her house again. Drawing a sharp breath he walked inside and saw Divya sitting in the hall

"Divya..?"

She noticed Arjun and looked surprised

"Arjun sir..at this hour?"

He walked towards her

"Anything important sir?"

" Where is Aarohi..?"he asked. Desperately

"Angel is in her room.."

"Okay. Thank you"he smiled rushing towards her room.  Aarohi had showed him her room in the morning

When finally he reached her door. He drew a sharp breath. Composing himself. He opened the door slowly with a smile
