Chapter 39
Recap - Arjun Aarohi and Nivi happy moments
After a month....
Arjun walked through the grass. Barefooted. His eyes desperately searching for someone. In the vast empty space.
"Aarohi?" He shouted. Looking around until he felt a tug in his shoulder. He turned back with a smile. And it vanished within a second
Standing before him was none other than Kavya. He felt his breath. Struck in his throat. His eyes moistened and heart felt heavy
"Ka..Kavya..?"he whimpered softly
She inched closer to him. Cupping his cheeks. He felt his throat tightening
"Arjun."
He closed his eyes hearing his name. From her mouth. In her voice.
"Kavya?"
"Arjun. I'm the happiest. You kept your word. Our daughter. You kept her happy. What else i wished for? But still. Why Aarohi? Why Aarohi Arjun?"
He couldn't gather words to answer her back
" Where did i fail Arjun? I loved you with all my heart and still you chose her. That was it all. Your love towards me.? How can you do this Arjun"
"No Kavya. I didn't. Do anything wrong. Nivi. Our baby. She. She loves. Aarohi. I.."
"Stop defending yourself Arjun. I'm nothing to you. I'm i right?"
"Never. Kavya. Please"he cupped her cheeks. She smiled sadly
"I know Arjun. I know" she said moving away from him
"Kavya. Please dont go"he held her wrist. Trying to drag her closer
She disappeared into the surroundings. He looked around with tears and fell on his knees
"Kavya..."

Arjun jumped up from his sleep. He had sweat droplets in his fore head. He was shivering. And lost his breath for a moment
He looked sideways and found his daughter fast asleep. He patted her head and got down from the bed.
He emptied the jug in a go and wiped his face with his palms
"What's happening with me ? Why I'm I disturbed? Kavya. Aren't you happy with the decision I took? I'm I doing wrong ?
Kavya was my past. But i do love her. She lives in my heart and no one can take that place But still. Aarohi. I love her. I do love her so much"
He touched Kavyas frame and caressed it. Tears escaped his eyes
"Aarohi..?"
.

Aarohi was in her deep sleep slumber when her phone rang. Loud thunder and rain bolted outside. She ignored it for few seconds and then grabbed her phone from the stand. Glancing at it. Her eyes widened looking at the screen
"6 missed calls and 15 messages? What's wrong with him?"
She took a quick glance at the messages
Arjun : Aarohi. Come out. Please
Arjun : it's important
Arjun : I'm waiting
She held her head. The rain started getting heavier by each passing moment. She grabbed her umbrella from the shelf and rushed downstairs
As she stepped outside she saw him. Standing in the rain. Besides his car. He saw her approaching him. They were under the umbrella. Together. The water dripped from his hair as he stared at her
"What are you doing Arjun ? Are you out of your mind or what ?"she asked.
He took the umbrella from her and threw it away. Making her wet as well. She looked at him bewildered. He dragged her closer and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back without giving a second thought. He closed his eyes. And hugged her tight.
"Arjun?"
"Shut up...Hug me tightly"
She knew something was seriously bothering him. She hugged him tight and patted his wet hair. They drenched together. In the rain. He somewhat relaxed in her arms
She broke the hug after few minutes and looked at him. Cupping his cheeks. His eyes were red.
"What happened Arjun..? Are you okay?"
"Aarohi. Please. Please dont leave me like Kavya did. I'll be broken. I'll be devasted aarohi. Please. Never ever leave me" tears sneaked out. From his eyes.
Her eyes moistened too. She smiled with tears. And knew he was distubed. Kavyas memories still haunted him.
"Arjun. Trust me. I promise I'll never leave your side. I'll be with you. Always and i swear to do so. Till my last breath"
She raised her feets to reach his height and kissed his forehead. He smiled closing his eyes and took her in his arms again.

"Nanna?"
Nivi got up. Rubbing her eyes. And panicked when she found Arjun missing besides her. She got down from the bed and walked outside the room.
Thara was widely awake. She was sitting in the bed. Fuming with anger. Shalini sat besides her. Consoling her.
Nivi watched them. Through the door. Wondering what they are doing at this hour.
"Accept the truth Thara. I think Arjun and Aarohi love.."
Before shalini could complete. Thara jumped up from the bed and held her neck
"If you ever say that once again. I'll never mind that you are my mother" Thara screamed
She left her neck and Shalini coughed vigorously
"It will never happen. Arjun is mine..No one can snatch him away from me. He is mine.. If Aarohi comes in between. I'll kill her too.. like how I killed that kavya with my very own hand's"
Nivi covered her mouth with her palms. She couldn't believe her ears. Thara killed her mother. She shivered with fear and before Thara could notice her she ran towards Ramyas room.

Arjun sat on the couch. His eyes on the ground. Aarohi walked to him with towel in her hands. They were still wet.
"Take this..you'll catch cold otherwise" she sneezed making him smile. He took it from her and dried his hairs. She sat next to him. Doing her hairs with her palms. Which was still damp. He eyed her after a while
"Are you okay now?"
"Yes I'm fine"he answered
She smiled in response
"Can I ask you something Aarohi?"
"What?"
"You didn't ask me the reason.. I mean.. you knew i was disturbed.. But still you did ask me the reason"
"If it was something very important. you would have told me earlier Arjun"
He smiled and tucked her hair strands between her ears. Brushing his fingers on her cheeks. She felt shivers.
"Mr. Arjun. You're too bad. You left my baby alone there right?"
He came to his sense and stood up.
"I have to go Aarohi"
"Arjun wait"she held his wrist and got up.
"Arjun. I know. You're tensed. And disturbed as well. Thinking about our future. I was thinking about this as well. Arjun...this decision is ours.. Not only ours. Nivis too. I know. Kavya.. she is your first love..I can't replace her in anyway. But believe me Arjun. The moment when I fell in love with you.. I became a mother for her. That right moment. I don't know about anything else. I will love you with all my heart and treat Nivi like my own daughter. But still. Choice is yours. We still have time. If you don't want to me to be in your life i will....."
He stopped her by Taking her in his arms for a bone crushing hug. She hugged him back. Keeping her head in his chest
"I got the answer Ive been searching for Aarohi. Thank you for being a part of my life" he broke the hug. She smiled feeling his lips on her forehead
"It's late. You have to go"
He nodded
"Come early tommorrow. I have a surprise for you"
"What's it?"She asked curiously
"You have to wait. Ms. Aarohi"
"I hate that"she sighed
"You have to. Bye"
"Bye Arjun"
