Arjun's pov

"Arjun you can leave me , I am not going to run away." She said her voice was such a melody for me.

"No, I cant let you go nor will leave you Arohi , you mean a lot to me Arohi .... "

Her eyes softened at this, the hurt evident in her eyes making me regret for not going after her and explaining things at that very moment. I cupped her soft cheeks in my big rough hands and said those words which I was scared a lot to say.

""Arohi ... I like you , I like you a lot to let you go just like that."

A few tears fell from her eyes I knew she would act like this. she is way to week from what she shows. I took hold of her hands and we sat on the bed holding each other's hands and I continued.

"Arohi today whatever you saw..." I looked up when I heard a sharp intake of breath from her , I looked into her eyes they comforted me and then I continued.

"it was nothing like what you saw, that girl she was my client who had come for a meeting, she is new to this business world and this deal was her first .her brother was also there but he had got a call just before you came in and the thing -that you thought that I was kissing her it was nothing like that she was nervous and tripped on her heels taking me with her. Trust me Arohi it was nothing like that."

I waited for her to say something but what she said hurt me a bit .

"are you done? Now let me go."

"arohi ..."

"Arjun please, you yourself are not sure what you feel about me, Arjun I can see it on your face you are so hell bend to be with me that I know you would say anything and trust me I could bet if I didn't agree to you by tomorrow then you would say that you love me."

I stood there shocked weighing what all she was saying .... I mean yeah I am confused but I am sure that I like her , I am just confused that do I like her or I feel more than that.

I was about to say that, but she stopped me and said "Arjun I think lets just stop it over here , or lets not think about this , thank god it was not what I thought Arjun , yes I believe you but then may be not today but you do need time to get out from your old self, Arjun lets not bring our feelings into our friendship let it be at a bay , and please whatever it be please promise me that we would always be friends and you will not get drunk like today , arjun don't spoil your life on my count , and move on."

"wait a minute what do you mean by move on?" I asked , a fear starting to build up within me.

"whatever you want it to be Arjun , you will soon come to know ." with that she hugged me and taking an advantage of my shocked and confused self she walked out of the room, but not before making my mind ask me a question

' did she just walked of this room or did she walked out of my life?'

I was now no more in a mood to talk to anyone and hence I walked off to the terrace .

I sat down with a drink in my hand thinking how what a beautiful night I had last night , and today here I am sitting with a drink in my hand on this terrace looking at the same moon which now looks beautiful to me only because of that girl

AROHI KADAM.

Her name gives a bitter sweet feeling in my heart .i just cant let her go once I did that –and I just hate myself for doing that.

"what happen Arohi kicked your ass so soon ?" I looked behind to see Vihaan standing there with a drink for himself.

"no Actually I ruined it this time, well it had always been me only ." I said and sighed, and took a long swig of my drink .

"what happen this time?" he asked.

"I stood up and walked to the mini bar situated at the corner of the terrace, made a drink for myself while telling him everything.

"Arjun she is not the one to keep on holding one thing and you apologized , I don't know what you said I have feeling it is more to the story something from her point of view. "

I nodded my head still thinking, when we heard a numerous curses well it was kabeer.

"god what is wrong with that arohi it seems that she is on her periods." He grumbled making us laugh.

"please I am sure she would have told you do something and you wouldn't have ...." I looked at him with a raised eyebrow after sometime he sighed and accepted it.

"see told ya ... want a drink?"

"you seriously want to die right ..." he asked

"what do you mean?" I asked and soon felt Vihaan going stiff.

"Arjun ,Arohi is really upto something, when she came down she asked me to take care of you and to make sure that you don't drink a lot. But she is right we don't want the history to repeat."

I nodded , now even I had this weird feeling that something bad was going to happen. We soon retired to our rooms and thanks to the drinks I slept of quickly but the fear was still intact.

Waking up early during normal days is an easy task for me, but when it comes to a festival morning its like a hell of a thing. Moving my hands through my hair and pulling my hair roughly at last I tried to wake up but somehow it was seeming difficult, that's when I realized that I have got whole lot of bruises all over my body , thanks to those bastards who tried to irritate me while I was drinking.

I shook my head and got out of the bed and got freshenup. I took out the new sadra and pyjamas combed my hair and walked out of the room only to stop into my tracks hearing the melodious voice of laughter.

Their came my jaan , my Arohi running behind Raj with his clothes in her hands. She wore a beautiful Anarkali dress her hair were left open , she wore big earrings which brushed her pink cheecks time to time making me envy of them.

She ran behind raj and I followed them but soon stop seeing her earring that had fallen down during the chase, I kneeled down picked it up and held it infront of me and said.

"you fell down from those soft delicate ears , do you even have any idea how much lucky you are? Hmpppph come lets see where is the girl who left both of us." With that I stood up and went down to see as always my baby was panicking for not finding her earrings.

She looked so cute with that little frown on her face.

"arohi what happen come on lets go we have to make rangoli as well." Abha said while pulling her with one hand and her other hand held a plte full of rangoli colours.

"yaar I lost my earing." Arohi said.

"so What." With that Abha pulled ahead some of arohi's hair from the back and placed them on her shoulders such that her ear was covered completely.

"tada" ..."thak god you saved me now come lets go ." with that they two left outside.

I walked behind them and sat with others helping them in making the rangoli. Well rather watching Arohi.

"dude don't stare at her like that- it looks creepy." Vihaan said.

"yaar I want to talk to Aeohi take everyone inside. Please." And like a good friend Vihaan is- he did his job, eventually leaving the two of us all alone.

I walked to her and sat beside her .

"kabeer please pass me the pink color.." she said as she didn't had any idea that no one was here. I passed her the color and not only that but all the things that she wanted ... she looked so cute while working so intently on that rangoli.

"tum?" she asked . I was so busy admiring her that I didn't realize that she was looking at me.

"haa main." She stood up and was about to walk away when I held her hand pulled her to me , I was about to say something but then I saw my mom coming towards us, I pulled her behind the door and put a hand on her mouth to stop her from saying anything, but rather than silencing her it was me who got lost in her eyes and stood there like a statue.

"mmmm mmmm" Arohi tried to gather my attention.

"I will leave you , but you won't leave from here nor will you scream am I clear?" I asked to which she noded her head , and then slowly I removed my hand from her mouth.

"what the hel-" .... "now now Arohi what did I said about screaming ?" I asked she made let out a groan and stood there still trying not to make any contact with me , but who was she kidding , I moved closer to her and leaned towards her ear which didn't had earing and said "it looks so empty , I think this will kill its emptiness." I said and held out her other earing infront of her.

"how ? where did you got this?" she asked , she looked a bit happy about it .

"it fell down while you were running behind raj." I said and put it on her ear completing her look .

"now you look perfect ." I said and we stood there looking into each other's eyes , the way Arohi looked at me I can say she really looked happy .

"Arohi , please- please give me one more chance please I promise I wouldn't let you down this time."

She pushed me aside and was about to go inside when I pulled her towards me such that her back was touching my chest. I bent towards her ears and said "wish you a very happy diwali Arohi, and I promise you that this will be your best Diwali."

She was about to say something but was stopped by honking of a car . I backed off and started to collect the colors and Arohi stood there void of any expression . she took a deep breath and was shaking her head as if making a decision .I stood up and walked to her but stood still when I saw who walked out of the car.

"Neel?" it came out like a question . we greeted him and walked inside where everyone had gathered for Pooja.

"ohh good even Neel is here." Arohi's dad said. Neel went touched everyone's feet and wished them happy Diwali. We finally did the Pooja got our prasad and were about to walk back to the leaving room when Neel took hold of Arohi's hand making my blood boil.

How dare he.

He murmured something into her ears to which she nodded and then walked of to one of the balconys, I was so tempted to go behind them but stopped as raj came to me asking for his crackers.

After explaining raj that we would do these things in the evening we went to sit in the leaving room where everyone had gathered to have breakfast.

Half way through the breakfast Arohi's dad stood up and asked Arohi and neel to stand up as well, the trio came in the middle of the circle in which we were sitting and then uncle spoke.

"okay as you all know that a few months back I and Arohi had made a pact that soon after Abha's wedding even Arohi would get married...."

He took a pause and god knows why but I felt that whatever was going to say was not good. Taking a deep breath he continued...

"and now we have found a perfect match for, and that's none other than ....Neel"

Our elders started to hooting whereas my friends were looking at me and Arohi- and me, well I was looking at the girl who I thought liked me or I guess loved me,but I was wrong or may be it is something else, she might be forced into this , but all went into drain when she gave a big convincing smile to me .

And that was it, it was the first time that I dared and loved... after so many years I really accepted that after her, arohi is the one who holds my heart but no that is not true both of them have left, left me all alone ....

I looked at her with god knows what look, but the way she took in a deep breath told me she knew what I was feeling, and then I decided that nothing matters and no one is going to control me now on, it was a mistake to let my guard down in the same country where I had lost so many things, but not now.

Last time 8 years back when i lost her I was broken but I wont break now, now this country will see the real Arjun sigh.....

Just that this time it is this girl Arohi and earlier it was my own twin , I wont let the past repeat again not even in the wildest nightmare..

I went ahead and congratulated them , arohi was shocked to see this side of me ....well now you see me Arohi Kadam .
