•Chapter-4•

Aranya's POV:

I opened the door when I heard a faint come in. As I entered inside I saw Rahul bhaiyya standing there with his eyes widened and beside there are two elder men. I made my way towards them.

           "You are the new junior of Mr.Singhania?" One of them asked and I nodded my head. He gave me a warm smile. "All the best beta." He said I smiled at him.. "he is our junior Mr.Rahul he is also dealing this case, you can contact him if you want anything. Mr. Rahul see her outside." He said and I thanked him. Rahul bhaiyya tailed behind me as soon as we are out he hugged me tightly. " How are you Aru?" He asked pulling out from the hug and I gave him a small smile nodding in yes.

         He was about to talk something when I got a call from Shreya. I lifted and she asked about my whereabouts.

             "Since we have to meet frequently let's exchange numbers." He said grinning and I nodded giving him mine. He saved it in his phone and ringed me once. I saved his number too and after a little chat I left to downstairs feeling happy that I have met him. Hope we will stay in touch... Atleast some people haven't changed.

Author's POV:

Aranya reached the ground stairs thinking about her meeting with Rahul and wondered about the past, Life sucks when you badly move on from something and then destiny will make you meet or see a thing or person related to that and then boom! The memories come back like fire.

      Aranya sighed as the thoughts of him started to mess up her mind. In the mean time she didn't see the person standing there and accidentally hit him. She was about to fall due to the sloppy floor when that person caught her waist and pulled her to themselves... For a minute she felt like her heart skipped a beat...

        Her breath is not normal and is very uneven.... She opened her eyes slowly and got lost into those familiar charcoal black eyes for the nth time... She want to push him away, she want to remove the traces of his touch, she want to run away faster from him so that he can never reach her... But she stood there numb...

         She saw longing, pain, every single emotion she felt in his eyes... Those eyes... Which always used to be in her dreams... and became her nightmare now!

            She untangled herself from his grip and she can feel the heat crepting over her neck to the body, not because of blush but because of pain and heartbreak. "Sorry." She mumbled and moved away from his fastly when her eyes caught the glimpse of Varun. Who stood there numbly as if he didn't know what was happening there...

       She hastily came out and made her way to the office. She reached it soon and mentioned that her work was done. Since she looked as pale as patient Mr. Singhania asked her if everything was alright to which Aranya nodded reluctantly.

           But Mr. Singhania insisted and asked her to take leave if she isn't feeling well. She nodded and controlling her pain and tears having a numb face she lied her friends about having headache and left to their apartment.

         As soon as she reached the apartment, she broke into tears. She wiped them and tried to convince herself that she moved on and it's just nothing but trigger but her heart is not really ready to take that. She cried and cried until there are no tears left...

        She laid on her bed numbly and the numbness is enough for her to depress... The lack of emotions in her life is messing pretty badly with her mental health. Her eyes closed as the pain slowly vanished... Sleep might not heal the pain... But it sure will give relief... For sometime...

On the other hand Arjun still can't believe his own eyes! It's as if it's a dream that he dreams every night came infront of his eyes... His eyes captured the little moment of her presence in his arms... Those soft features... Which makes him a cave man for her love... Those eyes which are enough to take his breath away.

       Varun saw a happy Rahul descending the stairs and narrowed his eyes at his best friend. "Why are you so happy?" Asked Varun as soon as Rahul reached down. Rahul grinned at him and shook his head in no in a rythemic way showing tongue to his best friend. If his juniors saw him doing that they will definitely will have a heart attack looking at him doing these childish things.

            "Sometimes you just don't need to be happy.. you will become luck-" "Don't beat around the bush. I know you saw her. We did too" Varun said sighing as he sat on the near by bench and watched his best friend who is in a deep thought.

               Rahul immediately kept a rock hard face. "Back him all you want but I can never forgive him for making his own life a mess!" Rahul said as he sat beside Varun mumbling few curses.

                 "He fucking ruined it! She begged didn't she? Where that so called love of his gone-" "don't bring it now man! Just fucking move on and let her live in peace too. She deserve it." Varun said huffing and Arjun listened to his friends banter.

         He can not forgive himself at the same time... Can not stay away from her.
