Thank you for your lovely votes and comments on the previous chapter❤

Aarav's POV:

Sometimes I can never understand Bhai...he is just out of my syllabus. He is missing Bhabhi to the hell but is not at all ready to call her and talk to her...and here Bhabhi is dying to hear his voice...and she is not even allowed to call him...why the hell he is doing all this??

For the first time...he asked me to stay at his place. Whatever the situation be he has never done that before...he always asked me to go back to Maa Baba.

He ordered me to take good care of bhabhi in his absence. He gave a list of her likes and dislikes. Even I am trying my best to keep her distracted. I made sure she is having her food properly...as per Bhai's orders I served her the food...at night I would go to her room and have a talk regarding her work and some other random things...I tried to convince her of the movie...but she denied saying that she is not in the mood...then I planned a movie at home at the home theater..it was her favorite movie..but she didn't watch the movie...she hardly watched for an hour and left to her room giving the excuse that she is sleepy. She was badly affected due to Bhai's absence.

But I feel worse for Bhai...at least I am here for Bhabhi to look after her...distract her..but what about Bhai...he has one there to take care of him. He has immersed himself in the work for 24hrs to be distracted... but all his efforts were of no use because though he was physically present at his work but mentally and solely he was here with bhabhi. He is all alone there.

Without fail every day he would call me multiple times asking Bhabhi had breakfast...she left for hospital..how was her day...was she tired...she had dinner...she slept properly and many more questions were bombarded on me and every time before ending the call I would get two warnings...the first strong one ...that I am not supposed to tell bhabhi about all this...and the second sweet one ...to take care of her like a baby.

When I discussed this with Raghav Bhai...he was so cool. He said that let them be away from each other for some time...distance will help them realize the closeness of their relationship. Missing someone is part of loving them...if we never apart from them we will never know the depth of love and closeness with the person.

I did not dare to argue as the love guru himself passed the statement...where there is love there is life and also where there is love there is pain.

And today I have been assigned a new work by Bhai. He wants to see bhabhi on a video call. He instructed me to connect the video call with the back camera on and place the phone in my shirt pocket. Thanks to my denim shirt...my phone fitted perfectly in its pocket.

Connecting the call I went to bhabhi's room with her favorite ice apples..not to mention again it was ordered by Bhai.

Author's POV:

Sona was arranging her clothes in the wardrobe when she heard the knock on the door though it was open

"Bhabhi"

"Ha bachcha...come in...why are you standing there" she responded

Aarav walked to her with hands at his back and stood at a suitable distance such that the person in the video call could easily see the whole view of his love and said "I have a surprise for you"

"Acha" she passed a faint smile.

"First you sit on the bed then I'll give  you what I bought for you"

Nodding her head she walked to the bed and sat on one corner of the bed. Aarav followed her and sat on the corner opposite to her.

Extending his hands he said "And here's the surprise... your favorite ice apples"

Looking at the mouth-watering fruits her dull eyes shined up with a big curvy smile on her lips.

Picking up the fruit she asked, "How do you know that I love ice apples??"

"Vo Bhai..." He bit his tongue realizing what he was about to reveal but the hungry Sona did not pay attention to him as she was busy enjoying the tasty ice apples.

"Umm...Yummy...You know Aarav...every summer Baba used to buy ice apples for me...since my childhood, I am so fond of these fruits that I can survive the whole day only on these...why are you sitting so far...come...have it... it's damn tasty" she extended the plate to him

"I am fine here Bhabhi" saying he too started enjoying the tasty fruits.

While Aarav and Sona were busy eating ice apples...the person on the video call...Arjun was admiring the view in front of him.

He was smiling after a long 10 days he acknowledged. He was watching her each and every move. Her twinkling eyes and beautiful smile gave him some kind of peace...the peace which was missing for the last 10 days. Her nonstop talks about her childhood memories... listening her voice after many days was like a piece of soft music to his ears. Her raised chubby cheeks while smiling felt like an invitation to him asking him to peck them lovingly...her silky hair locks falling on her face were inviting his long fingers to tuck them behind her ear... he wanted to be there with her for each and every moment of his life.

Sonal's POV:

Taking a good long shower I came out of the washroom. Standing in front of the dressing table I was applying my night lotion but then I saw something in the mirror...a reflection...a face...the same face for which my eyes were dying to have a look. My man in his favorite black clothes.

I thought it was a hallucination so I rubbed my eyes a few times with my fingers and then opened wide to look at the mirror again...this time the reflection whispered...the same husky sensuous voice "Sona"...that means it's not hallucination...its true..he is back...my Arjun is back to me.

My eyes teared up listening my name from his mouth after a long gap. Without wasting any second I turned and ran to him. I grabbed his collar looking into his dark orbs... I wanted to question him for his odd behavior but nothing came out of my mouth except the sobbing. The  continuous tears from my eyes not only questioned him but also expressed the depth of my pain...the depth to which my heart and soul missed him.

Without leaving his collar I touched my forehead to his and sobbed.

"Sona stop crying please" he said and I threw my arms around his neck burying my head in the crook of his neck and my crying became even louder. He held me by my waist...slightly lifted me off the floor and he too buried his head on my shoulder. 

The warm embrace which we were longing for...this was an eternity. Being in each other's embrace was the only thing we needed on this earth. Finally, our separation came to an end.

After a few minutes, he put me on the floor and I pulled out my arms from his neck. He cupped my face and wiped my tears with his thumbs. While I held his wrist and spoke in my broken voice "don't go away leaving me alone... I can't bear the distance from you...it kills me" and fresh tears began flowing.

He wiped the tears again with his thumb and caressing my cheeks he said "Where will I go Sona...you are my home...my entire world...you are my sanity in this insane world" and pulled me into a hug tucking my head under his beard chin and arms around me

"I thought it would be so easy for me to stay away from you...but these 10 days were more than a hell to me, Sona...I felt like losing my breath every moment I missed you"

I snuggled more into the chest and my grip on his waist tightened
"Don't ever pull off any stupid stunt of going away from me"

"Never...I can't even bear the thought of being away from you Sona...you are a catalyst to my soul" he pulled me tighter into him.

We stood still don't know for how long... hugging each other closing our eyes and endeavoring to compensate for the love we craved for the last 10 days.

"Sona" he whispered still hugging me

"Hmm" I replied in his chest

"I wanna dance with you"

I raised my head a little and looking at him I nodded. He played a song on his phone and threw it on the bed.

Music started🎶🎶🎵🎵

He unlocked my hands from back which were on his waist and rested them on his chest and slowly slid down his hands resting them on my waist. Our favorite dancing posture.
He started singing looking into my eyes.

Kaun Mera🎶
Mera kya Tu laage🎶
Kyun Tu baandhe🎶
Man ke man se dhaage 🎶
Bas chale na kyun mera tera age🎶
Kaun mera 🎶
Mera kya Tu laage🎶
Kyun Tu baandhe 🎶
Man ke man se dhaage🎶

He cupped my face and continued singing

Dhoond hi loge mujhe tum har jagah ab toh🎶
Mujhko khabar hai🎶
Ho gaya hoon tera jab se🎶
Main hawa mein hoon🎶
Tera asar hai🎶
Tera paas hoon ehsaas mein🎶
Main yaad mein teri🎶
Tera thikana ban gaya 🎶
Ab saans mein meri 🎶

He blinked his eyes and a tear rolled down his cheek. Immediately he tried wiping his tears with the back of his hands but I held his hands and stopped him. My hands reached his neck gently and I brushed my cheek against his and wiped his tear.

I locked my hands at the back of his neck and sang the song looking into deep orbs

Chhod karna Tu kahin bhi 🎶
door ab jana 🎶
Tujhko kasam hai🎶
Saath rehna Jo bhi hai Tu🎶
Jhooth ya sach hai🎶
Ya bharam hai🎶
Apna banane ka jatan🎶
Kar hi chuke ab to🎶
Baiyan pakad kar aaj chal 🎶
Main doon bata sabko🎶

I held his hands and kissed his knuckles

Kaun Mera🎶
Mera kya Tu laage🎶
Kyun Tu baandhe🎶
Man ke man se dhaage 🎶
Bas chale na kyun mera tera age🎶
Kaun mera 🎶
Mera kya Tu laage🎶
Kyun Tu baandhe 🎶
Man ke man se dhaage🎶

I looked up at him and froze.

There was no one. No song was playing. I turned around and looked everywhere...but there was no one. Then reality hit me hard. I was on my bed....I was dreaming.

I don't know what happened to me at that moment...what rushed into me... the only thing I wanted was him by my side. I picked up my phone and ran to the balcony and dialed his number. I did not even think about the time..it was 3:30 am.

The call got connected and within the first ring he lifted the call...my mouth didn't support me...it was not ready to talk.

"Sona" I heard his voice on the phone.

The moment I heard his voice I leaned back to the wall and silent tears started rolling down my cheeks.

"Sona...are you ok??" I heard him again and I pressed my palm against my mouth to stifle the sob.

I feel really sad for Sona🙁🙁

Before you guys scold me or curse me for extending their separation....I will reveal it now only... in the next chapter Arjun and Sona will be meeting each other ending their separation❤❤

This chapter was must as the love guru said "where there is love there is pain❤" kuch pane ke liye kuch khona padta hai❤

How was the chapter??🤔🤔

Hope you liked it❤❤
